Transpersonal Transformation Class Outline

Transpersonal refers to self-transcendence (reaching beyond the person or individual) integrating traditional and nontraditional concepts and methods with practices in meditation, mindfulness, spirituality, mystical states of consciousness, shamanic states and others for a deeper, higher, broader self-identity and concept of oneness. This spiritual transformation both grounds our being, putting us in touch with nature, and expands our consciousness, moving us spiritually beyond all limitations.

Self-transcendence

Handout: Parapsychology and Spirituality
Parapsychology and Spirituality: Implications and Intimations
By William Braud
Institute of Transpersonal Psychology
There is no need for science to justify spirit. Nor can it do so. ... There are at least three realms of being and three ways of accessing these realms. There is a physical, sensory realm accessed by the eye of the flesh; a mental realm of ideas, thoughts, and images perceived by the eye of the mind; and a transcendental or spiritual realm known through the eye of the spirit. Each eye reveals a different aspect of reality, and what is revealed to one eye is not necessarily available to the others. ... To approach a complete picture of reality, we must have, at least, triple-vision.

Honoring Our Natural Experiences
By William G, Braud
Institute of Transpersonal Psychology
We shall never know psychic and other exceptional human experiences fully by distancing ourselves from them in the service of an objective, experimental, quantitative, laboratory approach. To know, to fully understand them, we must welcome them into our lives, must commune with them, assimilate them. We must dance and play with these experiences in their own territories, speak with them using their own languages.
