Dennis William Hauck is an author and researcher in consciousness studies. His work focuses on the nature of consciousness and the subtle interactions between mind and matter. Hauck attempts to merge various philosophical and scientific traditions into a broader science of consciousness and has contributed to many related areas, including the history of science, psychology and alchemy, and the serious study of exceptional human experiences.

David Metcalfe, editor of the Journal of Interdisciplinary Consciousness Studies, writes: "According to Dennis William Hauck, a contemporary explorer of consciousness and author of numerous books on the subject, some of the giants of twentieth-century science, mathematics, and philosophy – such as Max Planck, Kurt Godel, and Ludwig Wittgenstein – rather than dispelling the alchemical worldview have actually helped bring contemporary theory in line with the ancient art in its exposition as a practical outgrowth of Neoplatonic and Hermetic cosmology. Hauck points out that Einstein proved an ancient tenet of alchemy that was previously unknown in physics: the fundamental idea that ‘All Is One’ and the equivalence between energy and matter. Einstein’s equation of the universe is E = Mc2, where E is energy, M is mass, and c is the speed of light. This is a mathematical restatement of the ancient Three Essentials concept of the alchemists in which Sulfur is energy, Salt is mass or matter, and Mercury represents light."

According to Dr. Bernard Lightman in A Companion to the History of Science: "Dennis William Hauck is a prolific author and has been at the center of efforts to institutionalize modern alchemy through a number of organizations, conferences, and journals. For Hauck, classical science has its limits, in that it can explain only our physical reality, not the deeper hidden reality from which the physical stems. He decided that alchemy offered one path to that hidden reality, and so, knowing that this path of discredited ‘pseudoscience’ might forever taint his career, Hauck decided it was worth the risk to discover solid evidence and challenge the dominant Newtonian paradigm."

Hauck has translated a number of important manuscripts dating back to the fourteenth century and has published over a dozen books, including The Monad Manifesto: Merging Science and Spirituality (Alchemergy 2022), Alchemy: Energize Your Life by Freeing Your Mind (Penguin 2021), The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Alchemy (Penguin 2008), and The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation (Penguin 1999). He also contributed to a number of anthologies, including Awaken to a Dream (Watermark 1991), Magic of Our Universe (Camelot 1999), Nine Windows to Wholeness: Jungian Sandplay (Sanity Press 2002), Get the Picture: Conscious Creation Goes to the Movies (Moment Point 2007), and Ceremonial Magick: A Comprehensive Guide to the Western Mystery Tradition (Llewellyn 2020).

His books have been featured in USA Today, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe, Harper's, and hundreds of other periodicals. He has been interviewed on over 200 radio and TV programs, including "NPR's Morning Edition," “CBS This Morning,” "Sally Jessy Raphael," "Geraldo," "The O'Reilly Factor," "Extra," and "CNN Reports."

Hauck is a professional member of the ASSC (Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness), the AMS (American Mathematical Society), CRS (Center for Research in Science), ATP (Association for Transpersonal Psychology), and ISSSEEM (International Society for the Study of Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine).
