Transpersonal

"Transpersonal" means that some sort of process is occurring in the individual that, in a sense, goes beyond the individual. The simplest in-stance of this is extrasensory perception, or ESP. Parapsychologists rec-ognize several forms of ESP: telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, retrocognition. We might also include out-of-body experiences, experi-ences of a transpersonal self or witness, peak experiences, and so on. What all of these events have in common is an expansion of the self/not-self boundary beyond the skin-boundary of the organism.
