Kripal Transcription by Judy Turnbull 7-18-07 pp. 173-180 from the book for Claudio (bottom of p. 173) Tantric Shamanism of Claudio Naranjo Along with Dick Price, Perls considered Claudio Naranjo to be one of his most gifted successors. Naranjo is a Chilean-born psychiatrist who made his first trip to the States in the early 1960’s for family medical reasons ( his mother needed an eye doctor). While in Boston, he met the psychologist (top of p. 174) FIGURE 14 Claudio Naranjo as Shaman of Thanatos and Transformation. Painting by Antonella Cappucio, 2004 with permission of Claudio Naranjo Frank Barron at Harvard. When Naranjo later won a Guggenheim fellowship, Barron invited him to Berkeley, where he was introduced to the anthropologist Michael Harner. Harner was working on the Jivaro Indians of the Amazon basin and their use of the yage vine as a psychotropic ritual substance. Harner in turn introduced Naranjo to a young graduate student at UCLA named Carlos Castaneda, who was working on similar subjects in Mexico, allegedly with a native shaman named Don Juan. Naranjo and Castaneda would become close friends. Castaneda even claimed that Don Juan had “smoked” Naranjo, that is, seen him in a vision. One of Naranjo’s first visits to Esalen involved a local television station (KRON), which had decided to film Murphy, Perls, Naranjo, Harner, and Castaneda discussing the subject of shamanism just after a seminar with a female Pomo Indian healer.

Perls,Joe Wysong | 320 pages | 01 Dec 1992 | Gestalt Journal Press,U.S. | 9780939266166 | English | Highland, United States Gestalt Therapy Verbatim PDF Book Thus Perls made assimilation, as opposed to introjection, a focal theme in his work, and the prime means by which growth occurs in therapy. Lists with This Book. Raluca Petcu rated it it was amazing Oct 03, This is a classic book on Gestalt Therapy. You have to go full into it- swing wit it. Erving and Miriam Polster started a training center in La Jolla , California, which also became very well known, as did their book, Gestalt Therapy Integrated , in the s. Retrieved Psychotherapy list. In contrast to the psychoanalytic stance, in which the "patient" introjects the presumably more healthy interpretations of the analyst, in Gestalt therapy the client must "taste" his or her own experience and either accept or reject it—but not introject or "swallow whole. From the perspective of this theory of self, neurosis can be seen as fixed predictability—a fixed Gestalt—and the process of therapy can be seen as facilitating the client to become unpredictable : more responsive to what is in the client's present environment, rather than responding in a stuck way to past introjects or other learning. The Satori … The moment he realizes that everything was just a nightmare he created and a mere fantasy —a set catastrophic expectations that causes tremendous anxiety In Gestalt Therapy, Anxiety, it is defined as the gap between the now and the then. Will get back to you on my perspective these days about what ol' Fritz had to say.

  • 12 the Cosmic Womb Stan and Christina Grof and the Counsels Of
    12 The Cosmic Womb Stan and Christina Grof and the Counsels of Spiritual Emergence (1973-1987) Finally, as the time of his death approaches he sees a bright light, and being unaccustomed to it at the time of his death he is perplexed and confused. He sees all sorts of things such as are seen in dreams, because his mind is confused. He sees his (future) father and mother making love, and seeing them a thought crosses his mind, a perversity (viparyasa) arises in him. If he is going to be reborn as a man he sees himself making love with his mother and being hindered by his father; or if he is going to be reborn as a woman, he sees himself making love with his father and being hindered by his mother. It is at that moment that the Intermediate Existence is destroyed and life and consciousness arise and causality begins once more to work. It is like the imprint made by a die; the die is then destroyed but the pattern has been imprinted. Saddharma-smrityupasthana Sutra 34 (6th century CE)1 During a session in which he alternately experienced episodes of “good” and “bad” womb, he felt that he developed new insights into the understanding of demons from several cultures—in particular, India and Tibet. He suddenly saw a striking relationship between the state of mind of the Buddha sitting on the lotus in deep meditation and that of an embryo in a good womb. The demons surrounding the peaceful Buddha figure on many Indian and Tibetan religious paintings appeared to him to be representatives of various forms of disturbances 1 Translation by Arthur Waley in Edward Conze et al., Buddhist Texts through the Ages (Oxford: Bruno Cassirer Ltd., 1954) of the intrauterine existence.

Humanistic and transpersonal psychologies were important forces in the emergence of the social phenomenon of the New Age. New Age transpersonalism leans toward a restrictive non-relational spirituality because of its historical affirmation of individualism and transcendence.
