To Ghana: February-March 2004, Keith Clouten
To Ghana: February-March 2004, Keith Clouten
Faculty Publications
The first indication that Ghana might be on my travel itinerary came during the ASDAL Conference 2000 held at Andrews University. Vida Mensah, who is library director at Valley View University in Ghana, was among several librarians who came to that conference from places worldwide. As the conference workshops drew to a close, Vida stopped by my office to talk about Valley View’s need for a new library, and to ask for my help in preparing specifications for a building. Nothing was promised, but there was an underlying assumption that I would come to Valley View University sometime soon to …
Transpersonal Functions Of Masks In Nohkido, Sirkku M. Hiltunen
Transpersonal Functions Of Masks In Nohkido, Sirkku M. Hiltunen
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This article discusses the transpersonal functions of masks in ritual and in drama therapy as
expressed in the creative path of NohKiDo. NohKiDo, whose main components include the
Prism of Consciousness (Personal, Transpersonal, and Universal), the Rainbow Method, Action
Meditation techniques (masked meditation, etc.), and Therapeutic Noh Theater, is a therapeutic
system developed by the author through the redefinition and interpretation of a set of
transpersonal concepts based on Zeami’s (one of the founders of Noh) original Noh formulation
for Therapeutic Noh Theater. The most significant concepts of Ma (heightened energy through
stillness and silence), Mushin-no-kan (transpersonal projection), Ichu no …
Art And Spirit: The Artistic Brain, The Navajo Concept Of Hozho, And Kandinsky’S “Inner Necessity”, Charles D. Laughlin
Art And Spirit: The Artistic Brain, The Navajo Concept Of Hozho, And Kandinsky’S “Inner Necessity”, Charles D. Laughlin
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Most traditional art forms around the planet are an expression of the spiritual dimension of a culture’s
cosmology and the spiritual experiences of individuals. Religious art and iconography often
reveal the hidden aspects of spirit as glimpsed through the filter of cultural significance. Moreover,
traditional art, although often highly abstract, may actually describe sensory experiences derived
in alternative states of consciousness (ASC). This article analyzes the often fuzzy concepts of “art”
and “spirit” and then operationalizes them in a way that makes them useful for cross-cultural
transpersonal research. The fact of the universally abstract nature of traditional art is analyzed …
Cosmic Connectivity: Toward A Scientific Foundation For Transpersonal Consciousness, Ervin Laszlo
Cosmic Connectivity: Toward A Scientific Foundation For Transpersonal Consciousness, Ervin Laszlo
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The principal aim of this paper is to overview some of the salient existing empirical data supporting
the possibility of an interconnectivity of consciousness that extends beyond the conventionally
recognized confines of body and mind. Thereafter, the article provides possible explanations
of this apparent interconnectivity drawn from the work of Jung and recent developments in
physics.
Animal Mind As Approached By The Transpersonal: Notion Of Collective Conscious Experience, Axel A. Randrup
Animal Mind As Approached By The Transpersonal: Notion Of Collective Conscious Experience, Axel A. Randrup
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
The discussion of animal mind in this paper is based on an idealist philosophy contending that
only conscious experience is real, based on the transpersonal notion of collective conscious experience.
The latter has earlier been explained by the author as experience referred to a group of
humans as the subject, the We. Here it is contended that also a group of humans and animals
can be seen as the subject of collective conscious experiences. The author argues that the notion
of collective conscious experience provides a possibility for studying the problems of animal mind
and the related human problem of …
Metaphysical Tracking: The Oldest Ecopsychology, David Kowalewski
Metaphysical Tracking: The Oldest Ecopsychology, David Kowalewski
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
Ecopsychology—the use of nature for understanding and healing the soul—has become accepted
as a legitimate tool by theorists and practitioners alike. Yet one important dimension of the
field has been ignored: metaphysical tracking. This article brings to light a number of mystical
phenomena that trackers, ancient and modern, have experienced, and suggests their common
root in the so-called energy body. The implications for psychospiritual growth are then
described. Finally, alternative explanations and new avenues for research are discussed.
The Trans/Trans Fallacy And The Dichotomy Debate, Burton Daniels
The Trans/Trans Fallacy And The Dichotomy Debate, Burton Daniels
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
This paper presents an integration of transpersonal structural theory. It is claimed that a
“dichotomy debate” is currently taking place within transpersonal psychology, which involves
what Wilber has called the “pre/trans fallacy” (1993) and the “ascender/descender debate”
(1995). The pre/trans fallacy states that early, prepersonal life experiences are confused for
transpersonal experiences of higher consciousness. Yet Grof (1985, 2000) and Washburn (1995)
contend that early, prenatal, life experiences are legitimate sources of transpersonal experience,
and can be thought of as the presence of deeper consciousness. Consequently, it is suggested that
confusing prepersonal life experiences for prenatal life experiences—as well as …
Images Of The Intrapersonal Organization: Soul Making At Work, Mary A. Hazen, Jo A. Isbey
Images Of The Intrapersonal Organization: Soul Making At Work, Mary A. Hazen, Jo A. Isbey
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
In this paper, the authors use archetypal theory to explore the relationship between personal and
organizational development and the role of tacit knowledge and active imagination in such development.
The authors claim that organizational change occurs within each person as well as at the
more frequently studied levels of small group and large system; and that individuals and their relationship
with work and the organization as experienced develop concurrently. The authors’ position
is illustrated through a case taken from a larger qualitative study using methods of data collection
and analysis rooted in an interpretive framework.

“All Mind? No Matter”: The Self-Regulation Paradigm, Stanley Krippner
“All Mind? No Matter”: The Self-Regulation Paradigm, Stanley Krippner
International Journal of Transpersonal Studies
In this short article, the author discusses the conflict between materialistic and transcendental
paradigms in accounting for the nature of reality. After speculating on the meaning and implications
of an idealist perspective where consciousness is seen as the fundamental ground of all
phenomena, the author reframes the consciousness versus matter debate in terms of complex
systems theory. Such a reframing allows for the mutual coexistence of both matter and consciousness
in a manner which is nonreductive and inclusive of different epistemologies.
A Secret Poem For You, Jorge N. Ferrer

for the exploration of self, life, spirit, and nature. Both the Spanish and English versions of the
