The transpersonal realm are those levels of consciousness where the individual and the cosmos are intimately connected, where all sorts of parapsychological experiences may occur and orgiastic feelings of cosmic proportions, spiritual liberation and enlightenment can appear alongside a mystical union with the creative principle in the universe. Ultimately, the individual may be ushered into absolute reality or the supracosmic and metacosmic void.
- Stanislav Grof -
"The human body literally is a microcosm that reflects and contains the entire macrocosm; thus if one could thoroughly explore one’s own body and psyche, this would bring the knowledge of all the phenomenal worlds."
Stanislav Grof
The "Self" can be attributed to personality, soul, ego, true self, and many other words used to describe either the material or spiritual aspect of an individual. This type of thinking can get very rigid, lending itself to definitions upon definitions. We are now in a time where the material and spiritual are merging, and we no longer need to distinguish the two so adamantly.
In devotion there is duality between the devotee and the divine. Ultimately, the devotee has to surrender completely to the divine. If he surrenders completely, then he has no more business. Then the divine will look after him. But nobody does this. Bhakti is love. It is romance. It can't be just going to the temple for an hour. It is a romance you can never forget for an instant. It's a real romance with your own Self. If you surrender to the divine, your work is done. (Papaji)
