Transpersonal Psychology
A discussion of the trends in Transpersonal Psychology as a re-enchantment of Psychology from its
origins in the Renaissance to its evolution within the full spectrum of currently available scientific research
All schools Transpersonal Psychology share one basic contention: that human beings
possess the supraegoic centre of consciousness that is irreducible to all known states of empirical,
or, better, "ordinary" consciousness ....
principles and practices
- son of man and Son of God ... life - a cyclic movement of continual regeneration as individualisation of Transpersonal Principles
- Transpersonal Psychology - An Introduction .. When we express ourselves with words, thoughts or feelings, we are under the impression it is our mind and intellect that generates our thinking
- Transpersonal Studies : definitions and historical roots ... Just because the English word "Transpersonal" did not exist before English became a Language of its own doesn't mean that the principles of Transpersonal Psychology aren't as old as the recorded history of man's endeavours .
- psychologia, psicologia and the transpersonal origins of psychology .. The ORIGINAL meaning of the word Psychology was the study of the "Doctrine of the Soul" and "The Science of the Spirits"
- ego, The Ego and transpersonal psychology ... There is a huge difference between the ego and The Ego .. and the ego doesn't like it.
- ego death : the greatest lie ever told .. ego does not die but the separate personalities combine to provide a transpersonal rather than linear perspective on life
- kundalini, transpersonal psychology and the inner feminine ... the transpersonal experience is nothing more than this "Divine Feminine" blowing apart every preconceived illusion you may have as to the nature of your reality.
- the psychology of the transpersonal experience ... what happens when explanation and level structure of concept of separation drops away and one collapses into a space where there are no distinctions? psychology has no foundation and spirituality has no roots.
This root of consciousness (or human existence) is frequently called "Self" (or "Higher Self"), in order to distinguish it from "self" or "ego", which is equated to the seat of ordinary everyday waking consciousness.
A Review
Transpersonal Psychology now considered as extension of traditional psychological studies into consciousness studies, spiritual inquiry, body-mind relationships and transformation ... but then, that was the original meaning of psychology.
Transpersonal psychology embraces the study of the full range of human experience, from abnormal behaviour to healthy normal functioning, to spiritual embodiment and transcendent consciousness.
Transpersonal psychology extends psychological research to optimal mental health, consciousness and its non-ordinary states, and unexplored human potentialities, such as will, values, creativity, etc.
Transpersonal Psychology is beginning to embrace a world view that is truly Transpersonal - beyond the influence of the spiritual semantics to become an integral psychology, based on humanity as a whole rather than didactic definitions and egocentric needs.
