Notes
According to Grof, transpersonal experiences can be divided into three categories,
- Primary Transcendence: Primary transcendence is transcendence of the spatial barriers and limitations of the skin encapsulated ego (i.e., Bodily Ego). In this state, we connect with "another person" or an entire group (inmates in a concentration camp), all humanity, animals, plants, and all of creation[2] (a so called Unity Experience).
- Temporal Transcendence: Temporal transcendence is transcendence of the limitations of linear time. In this state we can access information and experiences from the past, like a traumatic birth event, embryonic or even past-life memories.
- Dimensional Transcendence: Here, "consciousness seems to extend into realms and dimensions that the Western industrial culture does not even consider to be “real”. Here belong numerous encounters or even identification with deities and demons of various cultures and other archetypal figures, visits to mythological landscapes, and communication with discarnate beings, spirit guides, suprahuman entities, extraterrestrials, and inhabitants of parallel universes. Additional examples in this category are visions and intuitive understanding of universal symbols, such as the cross, the Nile cross or ankh, the swastika, the pentacle, the six-pointed star, or the yin-yang sign."[3]
As Grof notes, "Transpersonal experiences have many strange characteristics that shatter the most fundamental metaphysical assumptions of the Newtonian-Cartesian paradigm and of the materialistic world view....Any unbiased study of the transpersonal domain of the psyche has to come to the conclusion that these observations represent a critical challenge not only for psychiatry and psychology, but for the entire philosophy of Western science. In its farther reaches, individual consciousness can identify with cosmic consciousness or the Universal Mind known under many different names – Brahman, Buddha, the Cosmic Christ, Keter, Allah, the Tao, the Great Spirit, and many others. The ultimate of all experiences appears to be identification with the Supracosmic and Metacosmic Void, the mysterious and primordial emptiness and nothingness that is conscious of itself and is the ultimate cradle of all existence. It has no concrete content, yet it contains all there is in a germinal and potential form."[4]
LP Context
In LP terminology, access to the transpersonal realm represents Connection with the Spiritual Ego or some other location within the Fabric of Consciousness.
Access to the Fabric of Consciousness (transpersonal realms) is facilitated via Connection Practice.
