Tuesday, September 27th, 2011In just these brief vignettes to illustrate basic guidelines, the importance of a multidimensional perspective and the benefits of healing tools effective in each dimension become clear. Without medication in the Physical dimension to normalize Connie’s capacity to function, therapy would be disrupted by a series of emergency hospitalizations. Without […]
Multidimensional Model
Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011Because the mainstream medical tradition of diagnosis and treatment is dissociated from spirituality to such a great extent in our culture, few practitioners have a perspective broad enough to perceive all of the phenomena discussed in this book, let alone include them in therapeutic interventions.
Mainstream psychiatrists and psychologists tend to […]
Reckless Spiritual Arrogance
Tuesday, July 26th, 2011Zen Buddhism warns about a hazardous state of extreme spiritual imbalance that involves getting stuck in the Transcendent realm: a state of total attachment to the Transcendent dimension and denial of the other realms, an intoxicating condition of absolute freedom beyond the law of cause and effect. The affected person […]
Cultural Dissociation
Thursday, July 21st, 2011When a person or a culture attempts to plunge entire realms of experience so deeply into the shadows that their very existence is denied, we have a problem akin to dissociation. Denial of the Karmic, Energetic and Transcendent dimensions in the mainstream culture and especially in the scientific world can be […]
Dissociation and the Transcendent Dimension
Tuesday, July 19th, 2011By its very nature, the Transcendent realm cannot be split into separate parts, so dissociation is impossible within the Transcendent dimension.

Transcendent Dimension
Thursday, April 21st, 2011The severely abused child has been given a terrifying gift in the form of experiences that grant access to the Transcendent dimension. No wonder then that we encounter existential angst as a formidable barrier to reliving horrible moments of overwhelming trauma from the past. The abuse survivor must deal with a much […]
Transcendent Awareness
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011In our culture, the spiritual gifts that come from surviving severe trauma are often ignored or misinterpreted as symptoms of mental illness. Talents such as numinous or prescient dreaming and direct perception of spirit presences have been described by mental health professionals as psychotic delusions and hallucinations. In tribal cultures all […]
The Transcendent Warp
Tuesday, April 12th, 2011In the fabric of human experience, the Transcendent represents the warp, the long parallel threads that run through it and hold it together.
