Anne O. Parker-Perkola received a PhD in Religion from Rice University in spring 2021. Anne studies the contemplative literatures and cultures of medieval Europe and traditional Tibet, and researches the ways theories and histories of how people may validly know, both past and present, influenced and continue to influence practices and theories of knowledge—whether esoteric, academic, embodied, or occult. Anne also researches the relations of multi-dimensional, multi-incarnational, and/or non-conceptual awarenesses to experiences of, and narratives concerning, gender, sexuality, and selfhood, both past and present. Anne has been reading the Akashic Records since 2016
