Notes

Grof “When people get involved in self-exploration using non-ordinary states of consciousness, it is not necessary to teach them ecology or ethics. When they have transpersonal experiences, their systems of values changes automatically and they develop deep ecological awareness, tolerance, and compassion… and [the sense of a much larger identity].” [1]

Spontaneous Alignment Grof "I believe that there is a system of core values which are transpersonal, which transcend those of the existing cultures. It is an ethical system that emerges spontaneously out of profound mystical experiences. It includes values upon which people from different cultures who have had these experiences would agree. I have seen this phenomenon repeatedly in our work." [2]


Stanislav Grof notes that the use of Connection Supplements or Connection Practices to induce Connection Experiences reduces aggression, increases compassion and tolerance. He also notes a reduction of the "insatiable drive to pursue linear goals," reduction in the belief that "more is better," and emergence of "spirituality of a universal and nondenominational nature characterized by the awareness of unity underlying all of creation an a deep connection to other people, other species, and the entire cosmos." [3] They are, in other words, the cure for consumerism, violence, intolerance, even unhappiness.

Abraham's Maslow's "Meta Values" emerge following Peak Experiences

"Regeneration inaugurates this mystical union, morality is the fruit of it. Union with Christ is central for Nevil because it produces a new personality in the very center of the Christian person. This personality is radically different from the old because it flows organically from the life of Christ. Morality concerns the growth and development of this Christian personality...It is the introduction of the life of Christ within the believer that marks regeneration. It is the growth of the life of Christ within the believer that marks morality."[4]

"In Nevin's system all true morality must arise internally from the unified "self" or personality of the person in question. The person acts freely and morally only when his or her individual will is united to the divine will. This union of the divine and human occurs at regeneration when the divine law enters the human will and becomes the active power in all of the self's determinations." [5]


"By adopting these elementary Sufi pratices, the mind can be brought into tune with the spirit of the age--its grossness notwithstanding--and illuminated by the 'light' which is in every one of us; and further, or latent forces for good can be increased, as well as our creative productivity."[6]
