Using a creative and poetic modality, Diego Pignatelli explores myth, religion, science and spiritualitythe liminal territories of modern psychology. He introduces us to Transpersonal Psychology, Grofs 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.
Over de auteur
Diego Pignatelli introduces an overview of the most fascinating topics of the transpersonal literature:Grof’s holotropic paradigm, Ken Wilber’s model of transpersonal psychopathologies , Alan Watts and zen thought, Abhinavagupta’s Tantra Shaivism and the aesthetic experience of the Numinous.
He also illustrates Jung & Zimmer’s common theory on mandala and Yantra.
Pignatelli demonstrates original insights on sacred and karmic geometry whose dynamics are governed by archetypal and energy dynamics.
Discussing about kundalini syndrome, Indic mythology, Grof’s spiritual emergency and Star Gate or ‘portal’:a doorway to the parallel dimensions, the author depicts an overview of the transpersonal world as numinous and fantastic.
In the Awakening of Intelligence a spiritual and transpersonal narrative is poetically expanded through the introduction of the imaginal worlds.
