Emergent Phenomena
Daniel describes that by having high quality data that finds the overlapping perspectives in science, spirituality, religion, clinical medicine, and mental health, of what many might call “spiritual”, “mystical”, and “energetic” experiences – referred to as emergent phenomena by the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium – there can be more beneficial outcomes for people.
Daniel Ingram, MD, MSPH, is the CEO and Board Chair of Emergence Benefactors that supports the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium. He was an emergency medicine physician for 12 years, primarily at major trauma centers. Daniel is author of Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha: An Unusually Hardcore Dharma Book and coauthor of The Fire Kasina with Shannon Stein.
