Charles Tart 

I recommend his book Waking Up  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Tart

Charles Tart Official Home Page https://www.paradigm-sys.com/ 

In videos I've seen where both Grof and Tart claims to have coined the term 'Transpersonal' in relation to psychology. ?‍♂️

Claudio Naranjo   -- Chilean psychiatrist

https://www.claudionaranjo.net/navbar_english/autobiography_english.html

 

His most recent book (2010), Healing Civilization: Bringing Personal Transformation into the Societal Realm through Education and the Integration of the Intra-Psychic Family, is both a continuation of and a turning point in Naranjo's lifelong work. For in this book, which has a foreword by Jean Houston, Naranjo explored what he saw as the root cause of the destruction of human civilization (as evidenced in the 2000s (decade) as war, violence, oppression of women, child abuse, environmental endangerment, etc.)—patriarchy—and brought both the problem and the solution home to an intra-psychic level. Patriarchy, he said, has taken root over millennia in the workings of our own conditioned minds.[citation needed] He also offered a remedy, which derives from the work of Tótila Albert regarding the "triune" being of our nature: the "Inner Father" (corresponding to the head), the "Inner Mother" (corresponding to the heart), and the "Inner Child" (corresponding to the instincts). As people learn to integrate these three "brains", Naranjo believed, they may bring about a functional, even divine, family within. And this, he believed, in addition to transforming education oriented to personal and collective evolution, could bring about the healing of civilization.[citation needed] In the Watkins' Mind Body Spirit Magazine he was listed as one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People of 2012.[7]

Stan is such an inspiring and nuanced thinker. It's amazing how clear and open minded he is, especially regarding his age. This interview really got me into his work a few years ago. 10/10, can recommend

If that is so could you tell me one place in which his mind is not open, clear, nuanced and inspiering? Merely qurious, i haven't looked him up yet so.

I don't know him too well and that's also not usually something I spend much time thinking about

Okay, well i only wonder because generaly when words are being used absolutely, regarding percieved 'all encompasing' truths, i get sceptical. Simply due to lack of contrasting elements, almost like one is taken by some spell.

I'm thinking of leaving evolutionary biology for transpersonal psychology.
