Thanks Jim, and I'm fascinated to learn what psychologists and neuroscientists are saying. One group of psychologists are strongly suggesting that psychology is heading in the wrong direction. It started with early psychologists like James, Meyers, Janet, etc., taking the full range of human experience seriously, as did Jung. But psychology tried to mimic physical science in behaviorism treating humans as a kind of machine, which has then led to CTM, computational theory of mind, which these authors also believe is a dead end. The book Irreducible Mind edited by Edward Kelly of U of Virginia is very interesting. Also, not sure if you read Christof Koch's book The Feeling of Life Itself. Koch is one of the top neuroscientists and worked with Francis Crick to identify the neural correlates of consciousness. Koch also strongly promotes Tononi's Integrated Inforamtion Theory of consciousness. Koch and Tononi are strong panpsychists and Koch had his own mystical experience where he acknowledged that in these extreme experiences the neurological system is rather strangely inactive.

As I have written frequently in Medium, the study of consciousness opens the door to all kinds of theories and does much to undermine physicalist science as Prudence Louise effectively pointed out.
