exploring watchfulness

The name Spiritwatch is used here to speak to the theme of this site which is a watchfulness focused on experiences of a spiritual nature. This watchfulness is in many of the papers a function of the scientific method or classical scholarship but not always. Sometimes it exemplifies the watchfulness of the observer. This can be from careful first person accounts, from a cultural perspective, from the perspective of the development of higher states of consciousness, or from the perspective of engagement in virtual worlds. My work, over a number of years, has been about an interest in spirit or maybe an interest in the nature of reality/consciousness - I see these things as very overlapping and the movement from dreams to virtual worlds as quite natural.
