HUMAN PERSON IN THE MIRROR OF TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY
Keywords:
TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY, Human PersonAbstract
Our world today is in the midst of a deep crisis. Mass starvation, nuclear annihilation, ethnic conflicts and ecological destruction are some of the most glaring symptoms of such a crisis. Who is responsible for this? We wrongly look at economics, politics; religion and other external structures to find out the villain. Actually, we are the villains; we, the human persons who have understood very little of who and what we ate. and what we can become.
