Inner Radar

The Inner Radar is a term used by Stanislaf Grof to ambiguously refer to the Spiritual Ego, specifically when it is temporarily connected to the Bodily Ego and acting as an "internal" guide.

Notes

The inner radar is accessed during Connection Experiences.

As Grof notes, "Holotropic states tend to engage something like an 'inner radar', bringing into consciousness automatically the contents from the unconscious that have the strongest emotional charge, are most psychodynamically relevant at the time, and are available for processing at that particular time."[1] Grof notes that this represents a "great advantage in comparison with verbal psychotherapy, where the client presents a broad array of information of various kind and the therapist has to decide what is important, what is irrelevant, where the client is blocking, etc.[2]
