Sean Kelly, PhD Interview and Live Q&A

Sean Kelly explains transpersonal psychology as going beyond the  materialist paradigm of current psychology, and back to the origins of  the field. He notes how Jung’s exploration of the deep psyche resulted  in the use of archetypes – ideal forms – to describe the foundational  dimensions encountered there. The need for rites of passage to “bring us  into the web of life,” is mirrored in Stan’s theory of perinatal  matrices. Surviving these transitional rituals allowed participants to  feel held in a larger reality. He closes by explaining how principles  from quantum physics can help make sense of what is experienced with  psychedelics, and also to clarify concepts from ancient spiritual  traditions and philosophers.
