Transpersonal The transpersonal is a phenomenon or experience "in which the sense of identity or self extends beyond (trans) the individual or personal to encompass wider aspects of humankind, life, psyche or cosmos".[1] The term is highly associated with the work of Abraham Maslow and his understanding of "peak experiences", and was first adapted by the human potential movement in the 1960s.[citation needed] Among the psychological sciences that have studied[clarification needed] transpersonal phenomena are Transpersonal psychology, Humanistic psychology and Near-Death Studies.[citation needed] Among the forerunners to the development of transpersonal theory are the school of Psychosynthesis (founded by Roberto Assagioli), and the Analytical school of C.G Jung.[citation needed] Transpersonal states[edit] Transpersonal psychology considers[clarification needed] the concept of transpersonal states of awareness.

The Blog : Drugs and the Meaning of Life (Photo by JB Banks) (Note 6/4/2014: I have revised this 2011 essay and added an audio version.—SH) Everything we do is for the purpose of altering consciousness. We form friendships so that we can feel certain emotions, like love, and avoid others, like loneliness. Drugs are another means toward this end. One of the great responsibilities we have as a society is to educate ourselves, along with the next generation, about which substances are worth ingesting and for what purpose and which are not. However, we should not be too quick to feel nostalgia for the counterculture of the 1960s. Drug abuse and addiction are real problems, of course, the remedy for which is education and medical treatment, not incarceration. I discuss issues of drug policy in some detail in my first book, The End of Faith, and my thinking on the subject has not changed. I have two daughters who will one day take drugs. This is not to say that everyone should take psychedelics. (Pokhara, Nepal) Recommended Reading:

en.m.wikipedia Type of Jewish mysticism Kabbalah (Hebrew: קַבָּלָה Qabbālā, literally "reception, tradition"[1][a]) is an esoteric method, discipline and school of thought in Jewish mysticism.[2] A traditional Kabbalist is called a Mekubbal (מְקוּבָּל Məqūbbāl "receiver").[2] The definition of Kabbalah varies according to the tradition and aims of those following it,[3] from its origin in medieval Judaism to its later adaptations in Western esotericism (Christian Kabbalah and Hermetic Qabalah). Jewish Kabbalah is a set of esoteric teachings meant to explain the relationship between the unchanging, eternal God—the mysterious Ein Sof (אֵין סוֹף, "The Infinite")[4][5]—and the mortal, finite universe (God's creation).[2][4] It forms the foundation of mystical religious interpretations within Judaism.[2][6] Traditions[edit] Peshat (Hebrew: פשט lit.

Personality and Individuality in the transpersonal relationship The word that you are relates to all other words in all other languages of the Universe. A word has a meaning greater than its individual letters. What so many people do in theireveryday lives is hold onto one word or personal idea and see themselves as that individual word - or world. The Word as a Transpersonal Metaphor Transpersonal is the transformation of your singular view of you. identify your personality ... which is your limitation ... transcend the personal limitations you (and others) place on you ... any spiritual belief is a limitation One word written on a page can convey only so much of the truth of the message. Each word you read leads to another. in the beginning was the word Let us view the word as a human being. Next, looking at a sentence as a human being. But within that grouping, one word has one concentrated, tunneled meaning, a little more expanded than when it stood alone, but still not its complete scope of expression. Now see the word - human being as a paragraph.
État modifié de conscience Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Causes[modifier | modifier le code] Les EMC peuvent être provoqués soit par des substances psychotropes (comme l'alcool, le cannabis, l'ecstasy, la cocaïne et tout hallucinogène, ils sont alors parfois appelés « états altérés de conscience »[3]), soit par intervention psychologique (par exemple l'hypnose), soit par des pratiques spirituelles et corporelles (comme la méditation)[4] ; dans ce cas, les pratiquants parlent couramment d'états de conscience « supérieurs »[5],[6], ou soit après des traumatismes physiques (accidents, pertes de conscience, fièvres, fatigue extrême, états proches de la mort). La création artistique pourrait également rapprocher de ces états.

Stanislav Grof Biography[edit] As founding president of the International Transpersonal Association (founded in 1977), he went on to become distinguished adjunct faculty member of the Department of Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness at the California Institute of Integral Studies, a position he remains in today. Grof was featured in the film Entheogen: Awakening the Divine Within, a 2006 documentary about rediscovering an enchanted cosmos in the modern world.[3] He was also featured in five other documentaries.[4] Teachings[edit] Grof distinguishes between two modes of consciousness: the hylotropic and the holotropic.[5] The hylotropic[6] refers to "the normal, everyday experience of consensus reality. All the cultures in human history except the Western industrial civilization have held holotropic states of consciousness in great esteem. Grof connects modern man's inability to fully and honestly grapple with his psychic conflicts to the contemporary ecological crisis: Bibliography[edit] Notes[edit]
www.questia WHEN SIGMUND FREUD was first introduced to the Kabbalah, he exclaimed, "This is gold!" Carl Jung expressed a similar excitement, going so far as to say that the kabbalistic writings of Rabbi Baer from Mesiritz "anticipated my entire psychology in the eighteenth century." Freud and Jung's excitement arose from a central paradox with which the Kabbalah wrestles: that evil, which by definition is diametrically opposed to good, is at the same time its very source. Creatively articulated by Isaac Luria, the sixteenth-century mystic whose writings form the backbone of contemporary Kabbalah, this idea of light hidden in the darkness is also a basic psychoanalytic idea, having to do with making the unconscious conscious, as well as connecting split-off complexes to the wholeness of the Self. To glimpse the meaning of this paradox-and to grasp its relation to Jungian psychology-will first require a closer look at the creation story within the Kabbalah. Divine Sparks Trapped in Dark Matter
