There is an unconscious component in the structure of the human psyche. The unconscious acts on a person’s behavior, thoughts and entire life. Like the psychoanalytic trend, transpersonal psychology assumes that the unconscious layer of a person’s psyche includes various life events that have been displaced from consciousness for various reasons. In addition, this structure of the psyche also carries memories not related to the life of a particular person: it can be memories of various incarnations of the self, the collective unconscious, and so on.
Non-duality (integrity): transpersonal psychology calls for attention to the inseparability of the spiritual and psychological view of the person. But spirituality is of paramount importance to this psychological trend.
Transpersonal psychology believes that it studies consciousness, which is capable in certain states of transcending its normal state, beyond the boundaries of its Ego. This expansion of the boundaries of the Ego, supposedly occurring at the moment of a person’s immersion in altered states of consciousness, leads to the release of the person, his recovery and acquisition of wholeness.
The use of various techniques and practices to bring one’s attention to one’s inner world. Experiencing certain transpersonal experiences, a person undergoes changes that help him to find himself, to feel integrity with the world, to resolve his existential problems.
