Is there really a science behind enlightenment? Join author, educator, scientist and tech guru, Jeffery Martin as we discuss what his 10 years of scientific research in the fields of consciousness and psychology has shown about how we can reach new levels of “well being” which in include inner peace, happiness and transcendence.
Jeffery Martin is a founder of the Transformative Technology space, a serial entrepreneur, and a social scientist who researches personal transformation and the highest forms of human wellbeing.
Over the last 15 years Jeffery has conducted the largest international scientific study on Fundamental Wellbeing, which includes the types of consciousness commonly known as: enlightenment, nonduality, the peace that passeth understanding, unitive experience, and hundreds of other terms.
This resulted in the first reliable, cross-cultural and pan-tradition classification system for these types experience. It also led to the fundamental discovery that these were psychological states that had been identified and adopted for thousands of years by many cultures and belief systems. They were not inherently spiritual or religious, or limited to any given culture or population, and could be molded in many ways to shape the experience.
More recently, he has used this research to make systems available to help people obtain profound psychological benefits in a rapid, secular, reliable, and safe way. These have included the Finders Course experiments, a 4-month protocol that transitioned just over 70% of people who completed it to Fundamental Wellbeing; and more recently the 45 Days to Awakening Challenge and Experiment, a 6-week protocol that transitioned around 64%. His current research is dedicated to helping people who reach Fundamental Wellbeing optimally integrate it into their lives so they can maximally thrive in their lives. Jeffery’s other major current research focus is the use of advanced direct brain and nervous system stimulation methods such as transcranial focused ultrasound to assist people in even more rapidly and reliably reaching Fundamental Wellbeing.
Jeffery is a bestselling author and award-winning educator who has authored, co-authored, or co-edited over 20 books and numerous other publications. His work has regularly been featured at leading academic conferences worldwide, as well as major public forums such as Deepak Chopra’s Sages and Scientists Symposium, Wisdom 2.0, H+, the Science and Nonduality Conference, the Asia Consciousness Festival, and TEDx.
