The Hippies Were Right! : About Consciousness and Everything Else

What if the hippies were right about the nature of reality all along?

In The Hippies Were Right! About Consciousness and Everything Else, consciousness researcher Tam Hunt takes readers on a remarkable journey from his childhood in a 1980s commune through decades of scientific study and work in the philosophy of mind to a startling conclusion: the counterculture''s core insights about consciousness, vibration, and love align remarkably with cutting-edge neuroscience.

Drawing on his own research in electromagnetic field theories of consciousness, Hunt shows how the hippies’ intuitive understanding that ''it''s all vibrations, man’ points toward revolutionary discoveries about how consciousness and the brain actually work. Part memoir, part scientific investigation, part cultural analysis, this book reveals how psychedelic experiences, Eastern philosophy, and rigorous neuroscience are converging on a new understanding of consciousness as fundamental to reality itself.

At a time when AI threatens to redefine human uniqueness and our civilization faces numerous existential crises, Hunt argues that the hippies’ vision of LOVE as the basic creative principle of the universe isn’t just beautiful poetry — it’s practical physics and engineering for our planetary future.
