Paranormal Experiences and Beliefs

This paper attempts to redefine Double Consciousness (DC) as a framework through a number of emerging application areas, including: i) Living in Virtual Reality, ii) Dream Hacking and iii) DMTx Technology. The following questions will be used to frame the investigation: What are the opportunities that these application areas offer in terms of living in parallel? What are the corresponding challenges? Can adopting these forms of DC help us to see ourselves from other perspectives? How will DC technology change the experience of reality for individuals, for groups and for society? What are the ethics of these DC technologies? What are the limits of DC and how can Pluralism contribute?
