The Awakening of Intelligence: Toward a New Psychology of Being: Eastern Psychologies in the Direction of New Transpersonal Theories

Using a creative and poetic modality, Diego Pignatelli explores myth, religion, science and spirituality-the "liminal" territories of modern psychology. He introduces us toTranspersonal Psychology, Grof's holotropic paradigm and perinatal dynamics, mythology, oriental and Indian psychology, as well as Jungian, and depth psychology. Pignatelli also discusses the fields of parapsychology, shamanism, thanatology, Near Death Experiences (NDE), Out of Body Experiences (OBEs - astral travels occur during non-ordinary states of consciousness and travels to parallel universes through the Star Gates or "portals" of other mythological dimensions). He also teaches us about Kundalini awakening, mandala cosmology, altered/nonordinary states of consciousness (NOSC), psychedelic therapy and the implications of the new emerging paradigm whose holonomic theory and multidimensional psyche are currently explored by modern consciousness research.
