What would be the best way to get into this field of research? What undergrad major(s)? Where? Which schools are the best in this field? (worldwide) . Which post grad discipline would be best to study to get into this field and be an able, independent research scientist in this field?
First of all, I would suggest psychology as your undergrad major. If you are at or near a University, ask to make appointments with several of the tenured professors there, you can find their contact information at the university website. Most likely you can read about their research interests as well. Secondly, I would ask to join or participate in a few different research labs, professors should have room at least for observers. Once you observe they will let you participate. That experience, even if it isn’t directly related to transpersonal psychology/consciousness will help you get in to a graduate program that is related. Also you will learn and sharpen your research skills, which is very important.
Lastly, the psychology department should have books on graduate program requirements for across the world. Or, personally I would google "transpersonal psychology / consciousness studies" you will find plenty of school websites to sift through the information related to degree requirements.
