Jeffery Martin, PhD, is a social scientist who researches personal transformation. He specializes in bringing rigorous empirical research and testing to transformational techniques and theories that have previously been supported anecdotally. Jeffery is a leading expert on intentionality and non-symbolic consciousness. He holds graduate degrees in information technology, management, and transformative studies and has co-edited, authored, or co-authored over 20 books and numerous other publications; appeared in a wide variety of electronic media; and lectured widely in both academic and public forums. Jeffery is currently the director of the Center for the Study of Non-Symbolic Consciousness, and the Center for the Study of Intent. Portions of his research on power of thought and non-symbolic consciousness are also available in the popular fiction book, The Fourth Awakening.

Here he describes four different “locations” within the spiritual realm that he defines as “non-symbolic consciousness”. He prefers the term location, even though these locations often occur in a sequence, because he does not wish to describe them as a hierarchy. In each case, individuals experiencing these states are less preoccupied with themselves; and also experience a greater sense of well-being. He, personally, finds “location two” the most conducive for a person such as himself who is actively engaged in running an organization.
