Edgar Mitchell, PhD

Former US astronaut Edgar Mitchell experienced an extraordinary transformation on his way back from the moon. During his Apollo 14 mission, he was gazing out of the space capsule window and had an epiphany. He felt an overwhelming sense of oneness with the universe, a profound and life-changing connectedness. Edgar Mitchell has been exploring the implications of that moment ever since.

As a scientist, test pilot, naval officer, astronaut, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Edgar Mitchell has made a life’s work of broadening his knowledge and spirit. After retiring from the Navy in 1972, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences to sponsor research into the nature of consciousness as it relates to cosmology and causality.

In 1984, Edgar Mitchell cofounded the Association of Space Explorers, an international organization for those who have experienced space travel. He authored books, “Psychic Exploration: A challenge for science” and “The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut’s Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds,” and dozens of articles in popular and professional periodicals.
