| Abstract: | The author examines methods that are designed to expand and transform consciousness and argues that aspects of transpersonal psychology form the basis for the investigation of rituals, spiritual disciplines, and techniques that provoke shifts in awareness and energy. A psychosynthesis model for understanding these experiences is outlined, and an inner source of guidance—the Higher Self—is examined. A twelve step program for facilitating the expansion and transformation of consciousness—Creative Explorations of Inner Space—is also presented. |
