A Working Definition of “Transpersonal”

Trans·person·al

[officially] of, denoting, or dealing with states or areas of consciousness and spiritual awakening beyond the limits of personal identity.

[unofficially] a field of reverse psychology discretely manufactured in the early 1960s, to mask and validate archaic practices of religious psychology in which large groups target single individuals for personality reformation using collective pressure, deception, and complex gaslighting under the coded rubrics of “alchemy.”

[more] In the contemporary field of transpersonal psychology, archaic methods of alchemical psychology are used to orchestrate homeopathic “spiritual emergencies,” in discrete group settings where victims are pushed into frenzied spirals of confusion and panic until they are broken down.

In extreme cases, transpersonal crises lead victims into serious mental chaos framed as spiritual reordering. This includes states of mental psychosis, represented as states of altered or expanded consciousness, sometimes labelled “mystical psychosis” by spiritual or transpersonal psychologists attempting to validate their own activities.

Clients or victims of transpersonal directors are often persuaded to leverage their transpersonal trauma to reinforce the narcissistic, messianic fantasy of their choice, or to perceive their spiritual pain as a “cure” for the original sins or personality defects which troubled them.
