Transpersonal Intelligence
Master’s Thesis: Sofia University |
The field of psychology and the high-tech industry are at a threshold, the same
threshold. This threshold is where we cross over to a world where human experiences
will soon include virtual and augmented reality as normative states, where humans can
have the regular ability to see and experience reality from a perspective of fluid and
distributed subjectivity. What patterns of intelligence, personality, behaviors, and
outcomes can we glean from the history of humanity, through the lens of transpersonal
psychology, that can advise the evolution of psychology and the high-tech industry to
cross this threshold in a way that optimizes the human and societal experience? This
paper supposes there are patterns of both intelligence and personality that can be
examined and applied to the creation and experience of technology induced augmented
states.
