Throughout history there have been references & examples in literature art & philosophy of an increased awareness of life while under the influence of extreme emotions
- these have become known as Peak Experiences. Soon after Colin Wilson became aware of this phenomena in the 1960s he wondered about its history & how its power could be harnessed thus began a 40 year investigation. In SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS" we see how such luminaries as Yeats Blake Satre Nietzche & Robert Graves were all effected by PE's & how on the opposite side it has long been noted that we are least insightful when we are at our lowest ebb.
