Transpersonal Psychology and Jewish Mysticism with Les Lancaster | Gray Transforms episode #30 Brian Les Lancaster, Ph.D. the founding director of Alef Trust, discusses his personal journey in transpersonal psychology and his research in consciousness studies, Jewish mysticism, and Neuroscience. He highlights the importance of integrating consciousness studies, spirituality, and other fields of study into transpersonal psychology. Dr. Lancaster also describes the symbolism of the letter Alef in the mystical etymology of the Kabbalah and its relevance to the psychology of enlightenment and as the logo for Alef Trust.

The role of paradox is discussed as a teaching device in mysticism. The conversation explores the relationship between mysticism, language, and psychology, focusing on enlightenment through deconstructing the false self-narrative. It delves into the idea that language is deeply formative in how we see ourselves and the world. The Kabbalah is highlighted as a mystical tradition that deconstructs language and the self. The conversation also touches on the importance of word choices and the need for effective language in directing attention and understanding.

The last piece of our conversation is an invitation to the upcoming European Transpersonal Psychology (EUROTAS) Conference, which will be held in Oxford from September 4th to 8th. This conference is an opportunity to bridge disciplines and explore embodied consciousness, psyche, and soul in research and practice.

Early Bird tickets are available through the end of April.

What is Transpersonal Psychology? Transpersonal Psychology is the cultivation and study of whole human transformation—the investments of the whole being, Body, Mind, Soul. Transpersonal is synonymous with spiritual. Etymologically, the two words, Transpersonal and Psychology, mean the study of the soul (psyche) transforming the ego (personal). Transpersonal Psychology is a scientific study that explores how an individual’s highest nature (Soul/Self) transforms, transcends, or moves beyond the egoic experience (persona). Transpersonal Psychology is a cutting-edge field of scientific study that extends beyond traditional psychological paradigms to explore the highest potential of humanity. It acknowledges the significance of spirituality, higher states of consciousness, and the interconnectedness of all living beings in the process of self-discovery and personal growth.
