Spirituality in Action: Bringing Transpersonal Psychology to the World in Crisis
This document discusses James Kent's contributions to understanding motivation, will and drive through his work on homoeopathic philosophy and materia medica. It provides background on Kent's publications and teachings. It summarizes Kent's views on being a physician and the power of homoeopathy. It also discusses Swedenborg's influence on Kent and homoeopathy, including Swedenborg's doctrines of correspondences and degrees. Key aspects of Kent's models of man, mind-body correspondences, causes versus ultimates in disease, and the relationship between homoeopathy and pathology are summarized.
This document provides an introduction and table of contents for the book "The Psychology of Self-Esteem" by Nathaniel Branden. The introduction discusses how psychology as a science aims to understand human behavior and the complexities involved compared to other fields like physics and biology. It notes that the book aims to provide a conceptual framework for understanding the human need for self-knowledge and self-intelligibility. The introduction argues that contemporary psychology has failed to fully meet this need and that the book will challenge some prevalent assumptions in the field in order to achieve a more accurate portrait of human nature. The table of contents then outlines the book's two parts and 12 chapters that will explore these issues.
This document provides an overview of Spiral Dynamics Integral, which is a theory developed by Clare Graves that describes differing worldviews or value systems ("memes") that people progress through. The summary describes:
- Spiral Dynamics is based on Clare Graves' research identifying stages of psychological development rather than contradictory theories.
- There are 8 main value systems represented as colors in a spiral, with each new level addressing life conditions in a more complex way while older systems still exist.
- The value systems move from basic survival (beige) to community/meaning (blue) to achievement/progress (orange) to diversity/humanism (green).
1) The document discusses the Law of Attraction, which states that one's thoughts can attract certain experiences based on their vibrational frequency. It explains that thoughts are energy that can impact the physical world.
2) It provides a 3-step process for using the Law of Attraction: ask for what you want by visualizing your goals with positive emotions; believe that you will receive what you want through conviction and limiting beliefs; and take obvious or inspired action toward your goals.
3) Maintaining a positive mindset, focusing on desires rather than fears, and replacing negative thoughts are emphasized as ways to properly apply the Law of Attraction.

This document summarizes Gareth Jones' master's research on exploring and integrating one's own pain for self-care and more authentic therapeutic relationships.
The research involved rediscovering Gareth's own past through a heuristic methodology. This led to personal insights and understanding of his own journey of growth. It also benefited his self-awareness and well-being. Gareth interviewed two co-researchers who had experienced loss to understand how they found meaning and growth.
Common factors that emerged included experiencing existential isolation and crisis that led to surrender, epiphanies, and growth. All three recognized the fluid nature of authenticity and engaged in self-monitoring. Rediscovering one's past through heuristic research can provide "personal treasures
A difficulty in the path of psycho analysisMichel Newman
Freud discusses three "blows" to human narcissism from scientific discoveries:
1) Copernicus proved Earth is not the center of the universe, damaging human sense of superiority.
2) Darwin showed humans are descended from animals, not fundamentally different.
3) Psychoanalysis showed the unconscious mind and that the ego is not fully in control, challenging the sense of rational mastery over one's own mind. These discoveries collectively represent a psychological blow to human narcissism and self-love.

A Conversation With Wendell Berry (2000)Bryce Nelson
This document summarizes a conversation between Wendell Berry and several scholars on the topic of Christ's absence from modern society and how that relates to economic ideology. Some key points discussed include:
- According to Charles Peguy, Christ has been "dis-incarnated" from modern society and is no longer a constitutive factor of culture.
- This has led to a diminished ability to grasp reality and an over-emphasis on feeling over seeing. It has also detached economic views from a concern for the poor.
- Berry discusses how modern economic ideology sees the world only in terms of potential resources rather than as living beings sustained by God. This dehumanizes views of the poor and natural world.

Victoria's Secret is a lingerie brand known for its annual fashion show. The document discusses Victoria's Secret's marketing strategy and challenges.

Pan Major begins the third phase of Pan's work, which focuses on contributing to a shift in human awareness. Pan aims to offer their story, alternative perspectives, process tools for self-realization, healing opportunities, and access to inspiring people. However, Pan recognizes they cannot do this work alone and are thankful for grace that allows the work to unfold. The document discusses visions of potential crises like climate change, suggesting humanity is at a crossroads where we must transform our consciousness and move to unity. The 2012 date is mentioned as a possible point of great change, though no one can say what exactly will happen. The overall theme is finding alignment through surrender and sacred union between humanity's divine masculine and feminine aspects.
When mind is oriented to material world, you are one with modern world. When it dies and gets oriented to the inner consciousness you enter a new world. The one who lives in material world hears the voices of the outer world and for him the world of consciousness appears as illusions. The same is true for the one who lives in conscious world and hears the inner voice. Only time will judge which voice is true. What if the inner voice reveals the cutting edge question of the outer world in all simplicity and proves its superiority? Will anyone ever be able to leave it to compromise with material world? Is this what Christ said take your cross and follow, when is the liberation for such people?
Irene Conybeare - In Quest Truth (339p).pdfBruno Antunes
This document is an introduction to the autobiography "In Quest Of Truth Or How I Came To Meher Baba" by Irene Conybeare. It provides context for the autobiography, acknowledging those who helped with the book's publication. It also notes that while Meher Baba gave guidance for the book, he does not necessarily agree with all of the author's views. Finally, it prefaces the autobiography by discussing mysticism, occultism, and the difficulty of finding spiritual truth and enlightenment through organized schools of thought without a perfect master to guide the seeker.
Top 3 Things Teens Need to Know About the Paranormal (Special Report)Aileen Santos
Right now, the #CharlieCharlieChallenge is making the waves among teens worldwide, and seems like a fun, harmless thing to try (and post about on your wall).
But is it really harmless?
While the Physics of it is simple (the pencil movements can certainly be caused by our collective breathing, the same way the Ouija board works on tiny tremors caused by our constantly-moving muscles), the point of 'what's moving it" really isn't the issue.
The more important issue is this: "What are we giving permission to influence us when we play games like this?"

This document discusses the shared nature of religion, meditation, alcohol, drugs, sex and addictions. It hypothesizes that all of these are psychic attempts to move towards higher consciousness and connection with the divine or Self. Addictions represent a potent desire for Self-Realization, though the manifestation may be distorted. Early childhood trauma can cause a wounding that breeds delusions and a need to constantly extract one's creativity, which can lead to addictions. All addictive strivings may be seen as different melodies arising from the same underlying notes, as a striving to connect with the sacred.
The document summarizes Stephen Covey's book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People". It details the 7 habits which are principles to help readers develop strong character. The habits are: 1) Be Proactive, 2) Begin With the End in Mind, 3) Put First Things First, 4) Think Win-Win, 5) Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood, 6) Synergize, and 7) Sharpen the Saw. It provides examples and explanations for Habits 1 and 2, focusing on taking responsibility for your life and decisions, and envisioning the impact you want to have to guide your goals and actions.

The document suggests Rogan's celebrity status and location in Austin enable him to smoke openly without legal consequences.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

The Stages of the Conscious Cannabis
Consumer Through the Lens of
Psychologist Ken Wilber
What are the developmental stages of the new cannabis user?
Posted by:
Reginald Reefer, today at 12:00am
Lately, I’ve been binge watching Ken Wilber seminars on Youtube just trying to soak up decades worth of
information as quickly as I can. For those who don’t know who Ken Wilber is, “Kenneth Earl Wilber II is an American
philosopher and writer on transpersonal psychology and his own integral theory, a philosophy which suggests the
synthesis of all human knowledge and experience.” - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Wilber)
His “integral theory” essentially provides a framework for people to understand the process of growth throughout
various fields of study. In essence, it integrates (hence Integral) every belief system and creates a sense of validity
based on subjective perspective of the observer and the relation between the “observer” and that which is being

observed.
In other words, “every belief system is both true or false depending on the lens on which you view the world” and
“within this understanding, there is a means of “growing” or maturing within every line of life whether cognitive,
moralistic, and even spiritual”.
His theory has been applied to a wide range of topics including; spirituality, psychology, economy, ecology and after
today…cannabis!
That’s right…today I’m going to attempt to utilize the stages of growth outlined by Wilber (and many other
intellectuals throughout history) and apply it to the growth and development of the cannabis user
(https://cannabis.net/blog/personal-story/cannabis-as-a-tool-for-personal-development-techniques-people-are-
trying-now). I have gone through these different stages and could identify my behavior as I retroactively examined
my behavior and my relationship with cannabis.
It must be noted that this is not meant to be “academic” in any shape or form, but rather serves as a means for me
to solidify the understanding of these concepts by re-telling them in a fun and exciting manner. This is why
cannabis seems like such a great candidate.
More importantly, perhaps this analysis could make you reflect about your relationship with cannabis – whether
you can identify with a particular stage of growth and development (from a consciousness perspective) and
cannabis.
Either way, this is a good time to sit down – spark a bowl and relax…we’re about to take a plunge into the deep
conscious!
General Overview of the Stages of Conscious Cannabis Consumption
I’ll be using Jean Gebser’s model (and names) (https://www.gaiamind.org/Gebser.html) to explain the different
stages of growth. These levels of consciousness are labeled as; Archaic, Magical, Mythical, Mental, Integral. Don’t
worry about the definition of each of these, we’ll be explaining them in detail in the following sections.
The Archaic Stoner
3. 5/21/22, 4:27 PM The Stages of the Conscious Cannabis Consumer Through the Lens of Psychologist Ken Wilber
https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/the-stages-of-the-conscious-cannabis-consumer-through-the-lens-of-psychologist-ken-wilber 4/11
According to Gebser, the Archaic Mind; “Stated succinctly, it can be likened to zero dimensional mentation, a world
devoid of any perspectivity at all. It is a stated in which the holder of consciousness is perhaps only minimally aware of
himself or his relationship to the world around him.”
In simpler terms, it means that there is no reference point to the experience. You cannot remain an Archaic Stoner
forever, because by the second time you choose to smoke weed – you have already shifted your perspective on
cannabis. You have expectation, meaning that the “internal observer” is now aware of the act of smoking weed.
Nonetheless, your reference point for the first few times you smoke weed will still be highly limited, meaning that
for a short period everybody was an “Archaic Stoner”. During this phase, the consumer experiences cannabis at its
peak (https://cannabis.net/blog/medical/do-you-know-why-you-are-so-happy-when-you-get-high). It’s a fresh new
perspective on life, music sounds better, food taste better…we can relate this to the behavioral pattern of a newly
“born-again Christian” or “puppy love” where your entire consciousness gets overwhelmed and somewhat
consumed by the act of smoking weed.
Of course, this happens mostly to “younger minds” – teenagers and young adults – but can also happen in older
minds. Especially, if these older minds were trapped in a paradigm of prohibition, the simply act of liberating the
paradigm coupled with the cannabinoidal effects within the mind and body, could turn a Boomer into an Archaic
Stoner in a matter of minutes.
Within the developmental cycle of the stoner, you typically remain in this phase for three to six months, until you
have established a deeper understanding of the effects of cannabis, what you like and don’t like, etc.
The Magical Stoner
Gebser’s views on the “Magical” mindset are as follows;
“Around some unspecified time far back in our past, a change took place. Man entered into a second phase of
development and gained a new structure of consciousness, the Magical structure. This structure is characterized by five
primary characteristics: (1) its egolessness, (2) its spacelessness and timelessness, (3) its pointlike-unitary world, (4) its
interweaving with nature, and (5) its magical reaction to the world.[9] A rudimentary self- sense was emerging and
language is the real product of this change. Words as vehicles of power are typical of this time and structure; incantations
as precursors to prayer emerged. Consciousness, in this phase, is characterized by man's intimate association with
nature.
This is a one-dimensional, pre-perspectival, point-like existence that occurs in a dream- like state.”
Within the context of the cannabis user, this is the “infatuation phase” where cannabis is pure magic. It does
everything! You become enveloped by the culture, you start diving into the subculture, buy cannabis leaf printed
socks and shirts, listen to stoner music, become a part of the cannabis “WE”.
After the initial period of not having a reference, your preferences begin to shift dramatically in favor of cannabis.
You’re not quite a full on stoner, but you’re beginning to get what it’s all about.
The Mythical Stoner
After you experienced the magic of marijuana, and you decide to continue to engage with the action, you evolve to
a “mythic stoner”.
Many myths deal explicitly with man's (unperspectival) separation from nature. Witness the story of the Fall in Genesis
(and its admonition to go forth and dominate nature); and the myth of Prometheus and the giving of fire to man. These
both indicate a strong awareness of man's differentness from nature. Man is coming into his own, although he is anything
but independent of it. One could characterize this as a two-dimensional understanding of the world. Within the circle of

believers is where the important acts of life take place. The mere forces of nature have a beingness, often
anthropomorphized, but a beingness nevertheless. Myth, then, or the mythologeme is the primary form of expression of
this period. Subsets of this basic form would be the gods, symbols and mysteries. These figures provide the emerging
consciousness with imaginative images around which to center man's knowledge and understanding of the world. If the
Magic structure of consciousness is the emotional aspect, then the Mythical structure is the imaginative one. It is this fact
that makes mythology so difficult for us as moderns to deal with. The plethora of images (gods) and the seeming
inconsistent pantheons of deities brings the rational mind quickly to confusion. Who can keep track of all these figures,
their meanings, their correspondences and their associations. This is the time of the dream. – Source
(https://www.gaiamind.org/Gebser.html)
In relation to cannabis consumption, we could equate this with putting on the mantle of “stoner”. You’ve
experienced cannabis, you have become familiar with the customs and now actively identify as a “cannabis user”. I
call cannabis users stoners, although I do recognize that some people might find this a derogatory term – however,
for an old stoner like me…it’s a badge of honor.
The point here is that you become an official “stoner”. You know the lore and potentially begin to refer to cannabis
with a more personalized manner calling “her” “Mary Jane” or some other identifier that invokes the “beingness” of
cannabis itself.
If you started smoking weed and don’t have friends who engage with you, you’d probably begin seeking out similar
stoners to create a community. You might even be an “obnoxious stoner” in this phase of your cannabis
development.
The Mental Stoner
The next shift in consciousness took place between 10,000 B.C. and 500 B.C. This was the transition to the Mental
structure of consciousness. It was at this time that man, to use Gebser's image, stepped out of the mythical circle (two-
dimensional) into three- dimensional space. Mythology had become so deficient (and it should be noted that each
structure has its "efficient" as well as "deficient" form), that man needed a clean break with the past. The plethora of gods
and contradictory stories of creation, formation of institutions, and so on threatened to overwhelm the consciousness of
man; he practi- cally stood on the verge of drowning in a deluge of mythological mentation. In reaction to this, Socrates,
Plato, Aristotle, and of course, Pythagoras stepped forth to counteract this trend. The mental structure was inaugurated
and this coincides with the "discovery" of "causality," Abstraction becomes a key word to describe mental activity and we
find man using his mind to overcome and "master" the world around him. With abstraction comes philosophizing, hence
the philosopheme is the primary form of expression. Monotheism almost universally replaces the plethora of gods of
bygone days; dogma, in both allegory and creed, replaces the symbols of previous times; method replaces the mysteries
as man develops an ever-increasing desire to penetrate, and, of course, master nature. This has given rise to the idea of
science as the dominant religion of today. Also at this time, time itself was conceptualized (spatialized) as an "arrow" that
points from the past to the future by way of the present.[14] – Source (https://www.gaiamind.org/Gebser.html)
In the following phase of development, the myth of cannabis fades. This doesn’t mean you like it any less, however,
the need to be acknowledged by your peers fade. Cannabis becomes a part of your life, you no longer limit it to the
activity of “getting stoned”.
You’ve maybe experienced a few green outs at this point, discovered that assholes also smoke weed and that not
everyone who partakes of the plant is on the same level as you. These days, cannabis is a personal choice and you
recognize it for its medicinal, cultural and recreational attributes. You know how much to smoke, and when to
smoke. You know your limits and your strengths.
The Integral Stoner
5. 5/21/22, 4:27 PM The Stages of the Conscious Cannabis Consumer Through the Lens of Psychologist Ken Wilber
https://cannabis.net/blog/opinion/the-stages-of-the-conscious-cannabis-consumer-through-the-lens-of-psychologist-ken-wilber 6/11
In the final evolution of stoner, we have the Integral stoner that recognizes all of the parts of the developmental
stage and understands the importance of each one of them. This is the jazz musician who mastered musical theory
in order to break all the rules.
On your cannabis journey, you are still a stoner, but no longer need any validation and more importantly, can use it
in multiple ways to benefit your health and wellbeing. At this point you’re probably growing some weed on the side
because you like to put leaf into your salads.
You also understand those who don’t smoke weed and recognize their individual liberty to decide…you don’t judge,
you don’t impose…you simply consume cannabis because in your mind, there is absolutely nothing irregular from
partaking.
This is where you no longer war with any negative programming in your mind and you are to simply enjoy cannabis
for what it is. At this stage, you probably don’t even consume daily, but enjoy the experience of cannabis more.
Bottom Line
While this is a silly example on how this works, this type of growth and development happens in all parts of life. If
you can understand the underlying mechanism of classification, you can gauge where you are in any
developmental process, focus in on what needs to change in order to evolve to a higher understanding of “stuff”.
Hopefully this article shed some light on it, and hopefully I got it all right. If there is someone out there that is
reading this and understands Integral Meta Theory – hit me up and tell me how I was wrong about everything.
Let me know what stage in the stoner’s developmental journey you find yourself in!
