In Togetherness

An organised summary of my philosophy of the transpersonal referring to experiences processes and events transcending the egology of the coarse mind and involving a sense of connection to or participation with a more meaningful existence transforming consciousness. In the past transpersonal philosophy developed Perennial Empiricist and Participatory models to explain the holotropic or altered states of consciousness calling for wholeness. This book integrates these views to accommodate a critical model encompassing Criticism Process Philosophy Piaget's Genetic Epistemology Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs the Eastern Chakra system the Qabalah Psychedelica and Depth Psychology in casu Assagioli's Psychosynthesis. The distinction between self-actualization (the vision of totality) and self-realization (mystical experience touching the infinite) is pertinent and informs this critical and eclectic transpersonal philosophy.
