Читать книгу The most amazing things from the transpersonal psychologist’s practice - Александр Странник - Страница 8

Of course, I was looking for companions – psychics, bioenergy healers – people with unusual abilities. I looked with passion, even went to the «Battle of the Psychics».

Enthusiasm was lost when I got closest with people or some schools. Our group «Pilgrim», which was created by Yuri Vladimirovich, was the only one in the ocean. Any of the coasts and islands that I came across turned out to be uninteresting.

In the past year, a MIRACLE happened!

First, I met Valentina Sidorova, and then Vladimir Maikov and his team.

«Finally, we are not alone! – thought Stirlitz. «Our team is in the city!»

In my 61, I went to study at the Moscow Institute of Psychoanalysis «Transpersonal Counseling and Psychotherapy». This was the most important step in the last few years.

I first heard about transpersonal psychology from my teacher, the author of the practice «Pilgrim» Yurii Vladimirovich.

I wouldn’t dream that this newest direction, which has more enemies than friends, can be learned at a serious level. It is hard to imagine that of shamanism or Taoist practices, for example, they actually tell (and show something) at the institute.

I finally met «my spirit.»

I met scientists, candidates of philosophical and psychological sciences who speak a language that I understand.

Scientists who has enormous knowledge and vast experience in the transpersonal direction.

Scientists who traveled all over the world from Mexico to Tibet, from India to Mongolia in search of various spiritual teachings and practices.

Scientists who are known to all modern transpersonals: Stanislav Groff – the creator of holotropic breathing; Ken Wilber – author of integral psychology; Arnold Mindell – author of procedural therapy; Robert Dilts and Judith DeLozier – creators of NLP-Next.

Scientists who personally experienced all known practices. Scientists – Practitioners and Devotees!

The characters’ of Vladimir Maikov programs are Stanislav Groff, the founder of transpersonal psychology, pioneers of psychological psychology Roger Walsh and Francis Vaughn, Charles Tart and James Fadiman, founders of procedural psychology Arnold and Amy Mindell, founder of the integral approach Ken Wilber, the largest scholar of shamanism Michael Harner, physicist and philosopher Amit Goswami, the great experts in the Tibetan tradition dzogchen Chogyal Namkhai Norbu and Khyentse Yeshe, Benedictine monk Brother David Steind-Rast, teacher of «evolutionary enlightenment» Andrew Cohen, visionary artists Alex Gray and Martina Hoffman, translator of ancient Chinese texts Bronislav Vinogradsky and actor and director Vadim Demchog. Their work and books are well known in Russia. «At the origins»: conversations of Vladimir Maikov with the masters of art, science and spiritual traditions – 20 series: http://transpersonal.ru.

During the annual training program, I had experience with several major areas of transpersonal psychology.

I could write endlessly about studies, about those amazing practices, and about those amazing people. Within the framework of this book, I will share a few personal episodes.
