Truly, it simply IS. I, too, feel like another major shift is about to take place for me. Very exciting! Yeah for being excited together :) carolyn - Yeah!! And yes, it's very much like the new physics. In fact, in the preface of the book, I think, it talks about how the transpersonal vision spans numerous fields from psychology, psychiatry and sociology to anthropology and ecology. I think at one point it mentions physics but I'm not sure. And you're absolutely right - it's all about incorporating eastern philosophy and psychology into western areas and blending the two essentially. It's interesting that you mention Buddhism because parts of the book so far discuss Buddhist principles (like maya and enlightenment) as well as Hindu and other eastern spiritual concepts. It had been a long time since I had read about the basics of Buddhist theory, and when I found myself reading them here, something clicked and it all began to make sense for me in a way it never did before. Very cool! The book is called "Paths Beyond Ego: The Transpersonal Vision." signmom - I feel the same as you - it is super exciting for the world at large! I'm also hoping that such a step in increased consciousness will lead to greater balance among the genders, as we all come to embrace our Oneness and see our different roles as being equally important parts of a greater Whole. Whoo hoo! Grace – I heartily agree that UNITY is both a destination and a journey. Truly, it simply IS. I, too, feel like another major shift is about to take place for me. Very exciting! Yeah for being excited together :)

It sounds very exciting for you personally, but also exciting for the world at large. When institutes of learning give credence to a theory or a method, the "weird" suddenly becomes common and acceptable. It seems to be another step towards the world seeing itself as one thing, one entity that must be cared for and tended as a whole. I love reading all this stuff!!

I would love to know the title of the book so I can read it. I was going to mention that this sounds very much like the new physics, which is demonstrating more and more that essential oneness is a proven characteristic of the physical universe, which makes sense if it is the structure of our psychology. It also sounds a lot like much non-western spirituality, Buddhism in particular, which just goes to show that it makes a lot of sense! I’m jumping up and down for you, too!

How cool it has it's own name! LOL ;-) I can't WAIT to read more on what you feel about this journey. I truly believe that "UNITY" IS both the journey, and the destination - as well as our present moment experience...if we can simply push past all the illusions. :) Jumping up and down for you here, Aerolin! It sounds as if you are getting ready for a major switch to be thrown - and we'll all get to share in the LIGHT!
