Evaluation of outcomes and Quality of Working Life in the coaching setting
Authors: Easton Simon , Van Laar Darren
Published: January 2023

As the evidence base for coaching develops, so there is increasing expectation that coaching practitioners evaluate their work. Coaches require relevant, valid and reliable measures. Some assessments will do more than just measure change – they can help better understand a client’s circumstances and so assist in identification of appropriate strategies for intervention. We will argue that pre- and post-assessment of key aspects of an individual’s Quality of Working Life (QoWL) may offer a framework for part, at least, of that evaluative process. This article briefly reviews evaluation in the coaching context, introduces the concept of QoWL, and then presents a freely available measure of QoWL by way of illustration: the Work-Related Quality of Life scale (WRQoL).
Towards Higher Worlds: Rudolf Steiner, Abraham Maslow and Transpersonal Psychology
Authors: Brennan Toni
Published: January 2023

This paper explores the work of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925), founder of Anthroposophy (a human-centred path of spiritual knowledge), and its relevance to Transpersonal Psychology.

Steiner’s holistic Weltanschauung is based on the insight that the cosmos lives, in nuce, in the individual, and that the individual has the potential to discover the spiritual dimension of life. This unifying principle – which animates the plurality of ‘practical’ applications of Steiner’s philosophy in the material world, such as in education, art and drama, architecture, medicine and agriculture – also points towards some areas of convergence between Steiner’s thought and Maslow’s later conceptualisation of human nature and spiritual growth.
Young people, spirituality and mental health
Authors: Pearmain Rosalind
Published: January 2023

Personal prelude

By the time that my son was 18, among friends, family and close acquaintances, we knew of nearly six deaths caused by accidents linked with alcohol or suicide. One virtually successful suicide left a 14-year-old with permanent brain damage. After the tragic accident of a very loved young friend of ours, his mates and our son created their own mourning ritual returning to their local pub each day for about a week, sitting around a table together and talking and crying. I think it was this experience that compelled me to consider the spiritual void of our current post modern generation who have been born after 1980.

This paper outlines some of the contemporary concerns about young people and mental health, offers some newer perspectives on spirituality and a possible framework for spiritual health as a way of addressing the multifarious factors involved with well being. Finally, a short summary of part of a qualitative study of young people’s experiences of spiritually-oriented summer school events in two different contexts is given as one model of constructive intervention.

A contemporary parable on Good and Evil: James Bond as moral compass
Authors: Tower Rupert , Pratt Benjamin
Published: January 2023

The latest Bond film, ‘Quantum of Solace’, was released in the autumn of 2008 on the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth. He and his literary hero, James Bond, have continued to enjoy an enduring popularity over six decades in our contemporary culture. This paper explores possible reasons for this phenomenon, and argues the hypothesis that Fleming depicted Bond intentionally as a moral compass, embodying a conscious psychological attitude with which to make moral choices and to confront conflicts of duty. Bond, a modern day St. George, slays dragons that expose the contour of modern evil and that are personified by villains who reflect Fleming’s (1962) list of ‘Seven Deadlier Sins’ for the modern era. The paper examines the pivotal sin, accidie, the loss of passion or joy for life through the lens of Fleming’s novel ‘You Only Live Twice’ (1964). James Bond’s personal grief from the loss of his murdered wife precipitates a spiritual and moral dilemma. Should he succumb to his own accidie, despair and suicidal thoughts and become evil (i.e. remain regressed in a primitive state of unconsciousness) like his arch-enemy, Blofeld? Or does he grieve and kill (007 – the right to kill the seven deadlier sins) the despair and accidie personified in his Shadow, Blofeld? The paper also proposes that Bond’s life is a projection of the archetypal image of the hero’s journey. We review the psychological Jungian perspective on moral and ethical conscience in relation to good and evil, and consider Bond’s struggle to own and integrate his shadow self as a reflection of the individual and collective contemporary moral problem facing humanity. Finally, we explore Bond as a cultural expression of shifting perspectives and attitudes to gender image, masculinity and the archetypal male.
The Golden Dawn: Symbolism, ritual and self-development
Authors: Seims Melissa , Whomsley Stuart
Published: January 2023

This paper will situate the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (GD), within the context of the Western esoteric tradition. It will explore how the GD uses symbolism and ritual for self-development. To assess the GD as a system of transpersonal development it will be evaluated against transpersonal theory, particularly that of Ken Wilber. It may be useful for the reader to understand the affiliations of the authors: the first author is a member of the GD, the second is a psychologist with an interest in the transpersonal but is not affiliated to any esoteric order.
Religion, spirituality and virtue
Authors: Radford John
Published: January 2023

‘Religion’, ‘spirituality’ and ‘virtue’ are often used with the implication that they are closely related, or even the same thing, though other uses distinguish them. Of various possible modes of definition, an operational one seems the most helpful. Religion can best be taken as a polythetic concept, defined by a selection from a list of characteristics. Spirituality has several different meanings, while virtue corresponds to one entity, with much agreement, though also some disagreement, as to what counts as virtuous. The three overlap in some respects but are distinct in others. It is desirable to be clear about precisely what is meant in any discussion of them.
Flowers of Light
Authors: Sayers Stephen
Published: January 2023

This paper is a broadly transpersonal meditation upon the Pre-Raphaelite picture ‘Night’. It will consider the picture in a contrasting relation to its sister picture ‘Day’ and address its iconography selectively and from a perspective that incorporates both Jungian and transpersonal psychological analyses. In particular, the paper will propose the use of ‘restorative symbolism’, a technique that involves the leading of symbols through a meditative reflection upon their appearance in order to restore, earlier or archaic meanings to modern consciousness.

The moderating effect of trait mindfulness on implicit racial bias following a brief mindfulness induction: A pilot study
Authors: Scheps Miranda H. , Walsh James J.
Published: January 2023

Objective: This study was designed to explore the interactive effects of state and trait mindfulness in reducing implicit racial bias.

Method: A 3-factor, quasi-experimental mixed design was employed. The factors were induction type, order of presentation and trait mindfulness. Post-induction implicit racism as well as explicit racism comprised the two dependent variables. Twenty-five older adults completed an Implicit Association Test on two occasions, one week apart.

Results: The non-significant main effect of induction type (H1) was moderated by trait mindfulness (H2). Specifically, low trait mindful participants showed a significant reduction in implicit racism following the mindfulness induction compared with the control induction. There were no differences in implicit racism between induction conditions among high trait mindful counterparts. Explicit racism did not vary as a function of trait mindfulness (H3) and was independent of implicit racism (H4).

Conclusion: A combination of state and trait mindfulness is needed to demonstrate a causal reduction in implicit racial bias. Differences between system 1 and system 2 thinking (Kahneman, 2011) are drawn upon to explain the findings.
A neuroepistemology of mystical experience
Authors: Laughlin Charles D. , Rock Adam J.
Published: January 2023

This essay provides an anthropological account of a neuroepistemological account of mystical experience. We commence by outlining the various qualities of mystical experience (e.g. time-consciousness and space-consciousness distortion). Subsequently, we analyse the epistemology of mystical experience with special reference to the constructivist versus decontextualist debate. Next, we formulate a neuroepistemology of mystical experience and demonstrate how this account might contribute to the ongoing discourse between constructivists and decontextualists. Finally, from an anthropological point of view we discuss various methodological problems that may hinder a neuroepistemological account of mystical experience (e.g. phenomenological naiveté). We conclude by outlining the attributes of neuroepistemology of mystical experience researchers required to resolve the aforementioned methodological problems.

The aim of the workshop was to raise awareness with the conference participants, of strategies to develop spiritual activism with medical and health care staff, to benefit people who used the services. The author had practised transpersonal spiritual activism in medical schools and hospitals since 2007, and taught university courses on anthropology and spirituality before then. This workshop offered an overview of her courses and summarised current practices of spiritual activism in medical schools.

Workshop Aims. The aims of the workshop were to raise awareness of spiritual activism in medical schools, and address issues around social inclusion. Within the discipline of medical anthropology, this workshop offered a Tool-Kit and practical Resource Training Pack for discussion, so conference participants who were prospective practitioners and activists might consider using it. The aim was to enhance participants’ own skills and knowledge base, to support their actions towards applied transpersonal activism, based on their own knowledge. The workshop participants brainstormed ways they might use the material available, to present a strategy to their colleagues on potential ways forward to address social inclusion.
Was L. White Jr. right? An exploration of environmental values and activism in Eastern spiritual traditions
Authors: Sonnex Charmaine
Published: January 2023

In 1967, historian Lynn White Jr. published a seminal paper proposing that our current ecological crisis is the result of the anthropocentric, dualist nature of Western Christian religious traditions. He further went on to suggest that the interconnected, animist view of nature present in many Eastern religions provides a more ecologically sound framework for a religiously informed relationship with nature. White’s paper has inspired further scholarship exploring the veracity of his claims. This paper will explore how nature is valued in Christianity and three key Eastern religious traditions (Buddhism, Hinduism, and Sikhism) and how these values translate to religiously influenced ecological activism. Finally, it will provide an overview of some of the research comparing ecological values across different religious groups to examine the empirical support (if any) for White’s claims.
Embracing metaphysics in transpersonal psychology: A response to Steve Taylor
Authors: Daniels Michael
Published: January 2023

Steve Taylor’s Review of the new edition of my book Shadow, Self, Spirit (2021) focuses on a critique of what he sees as my ‘sceptical’ stance on metaphysics and my rejection of his own ‘soft perennialism’. I respond to Taylor’s criticisms by noting: (1) that my own perspective rejects materialism and acknowledges the need for metaphysical concepts in transpersonal psychology; and (2) that, in researching transpersonal phenomena, researchers should aim to bracket metaphysical assumptions and should prefer non-metaphysical explanations where these are sufficient. I expand upon and clarify my criticisms of soft perennialism and argue that Jorge Ferrer’s participatory theory offers a more productive approach to understanding metaphysics, the varieties of spiritual experience, and religious pluralism.

Transitions and the development of expertise: Update 2021
Authors: Hallam Susan
Published: January 2023

Recent research relating to the development of expertise has tended to focus on very high level expertise or the many factors which are important in its development. In formal educational contexts the model of domain learning is particularly relevant for understanding learning. Conceptual change research has evolved from a focus on misconceptions to exploring issues related to professional development. Research on epistemological beliefs, metacognition, self-regulation, and beliefs about the nature of intelligence has clarified several issues. Change between learning environments continues to be challenging for some learners with the groups at risk of not fulfilling their potential remaining relatively stable. A key issue for those engaged in educational psychology is how to influence policy which can negatively impact on expertise development, particularly in relation to structured ability grouping, the curriculum and assessment procedures the latter ensuring that a large proportion of children are doomed to failure.
Intellectuals and Social Movements in Iran in the Fourteenth SH Century: The Narrative of a Century of Ups and Downs
Authors: Khosrokhavar Farhad , Paivandi Saeed
Published: January 2023

Numerous research works in Iran and abroad address the issue of social movements in the 14th SH century. However, it is uncommon to come across writings that examine the relationship between social movements and intellectuals. The issue is about the type of participation, place, and role of intellectuals in the century’s major social movements. A number of social science studies have also examined the influence of intellectual discourse on social movements in various countries. Examples of such analyses include examinations of the French Revolution and the impact of the opinions and writings of Rousseau, Voltaire, and other prominent Enlightenment authors on this historical event. Another illustration is the influence of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, and other intellectuals on the Russian October Revolution. The same question might be asked regarding the Chinese revolution and Mao Zedong’s involvement, or the Cuban revolution and Castro or Che Guevara’s participation. Erst in the last three decades has a portion of academic research shown a change in the interaction between intellectuals and social movements, or, according to Régis Debray, a decline in the influence of visionary and ambitious discourses.
The Establishment Project In Modern Thought: Rethinking The Reception Of Descartes’s Discours De La Méthode In Contemporary Intellectuals In Iran
Authors: Gorgin Navid
Published: January 2023

Descartes’s Discours de la Méthode has been translated into Persian three times in three separate historical periods, each with a unique incentive, from 1241 (1863) to 1310 (1932). Today, this text is one of the topics of interest in the intellectual movements of Iran as a pre-history of the emergence of Modern European philosophy in the Persian language. The book “Seyri Hikmat Dar Urūpā” [The Course of Philosophy in Europe], which was and still is one of the most significant sources for acquainting Persian speakers with European philosophy in the 14th century, is the result of the last translation of Descartes’ book. It has played a crucial role in creating the translation policy, choosing equivalences, and influencing how Western ideas were introduced in Iran. Regarding Descartes and the “establishment” project, it can be seen that Mohammad Ali Foroughi’s thoughts on Descartes gradually changed in the succeeding volumes of the book. As a result, we may outline a pathway regarding the development of contemporary intellectual consciousness in Iran by following the viewpoint that emerged in Descartes’ thought, particularly in Discours de la Méthode. The critical rethinking of this consciousness by focussing on the so-called “establishment of science” or “promoting the basis of wisdom” among Iranian intellectuals can reveal aspects of this imaginary vision which still relevant today in many conservative or reactionary blocs concerning the “establishment of civilization” or “science production.” Taking the above-mentioned into account, we can better explain these tendencies and their ideological patterns. The task of critical thinking in such a situation is to provide critical arguments against all these ideological forms of the “establishment” and to remove the intellectual obstacles to empower civil society through developing historical knowledge regarding the objective and subjective origins of those ideologies. The most exemplary illustration of this project in the early Iranian intellectuals can be observed in Mohammad Ali Foroughi and his book Seyri Hikmat Dar Urūpā, in which the author’s views progress as the book goes forward. After the Second World War and the erosion of the image of progressive Europe, the establishment project adopted a different approach. It redirected its focus from modern Western ideas to indigenous and Eastern ideas.

Analysis of Interaction Grouping Modeling Fusion Group Behavior Recognition Algorithm
Authors: Li Bin , Zhang Fan
Published: January 2023

In order to make full use of the effective information in the video, this paper proposes a multi-model interactive video behavior recognition method. In order to solve the problems of incomplete human target detection and redundant feature extraction, YOLO_V4 is used to detect the human body and remove the redundant background information. Then, it is proposed to introduce the channel attention model SE-NET into the Inception_V3 network, so as to strengthen the extraction of key features and make the network pay more attention to the details of key features. Finally, the feature information is sent to LSTM network with memory function for action recognition and classification. The multi-model mutual fusion algorithm proposed in this paper is tested and verified on an internationally published UT-Interaction data set. The experimental results show that the accuracy of interactive behavior recognition is improved, and the improved accuracy is 85.1%, which indicates that the multi-model fusion method has higher accuracy.

The stock is one of the most important instruments of finance. However, the tendency of stock always has a high level of irregularity. In stock market, the stock price moving is considered as a time series problem. Clustering method on stock data is one of the machine learning methods and it is one of the most important analysis methods of technical analysis. The aim of this project is to find an efficient unsupervised learning way to analysis the stock market data to make classification of the patterns on different stock price moving data and get useful information for investment decisions by implementing different clustering algorithms. For this aim, the research objective of this project is to compare several of clustering methods like K-means algorithm, EM algorithm, Canopy algorithm, specify the best number of clusters for each clustering method by several evaluation indexes, show the result of each clustering method and make evaluation on the results of these clustering methods on stock market data of standard S&P 500 stock marketing data. In addition, Weka 3 and Matlab are used to implement the clustering methods and evaluation program. Data visualization shows clearly that those public companies in the same cluster have similar stock price moving pattern. The experiment shows the result that K-means algorithm and EM algorithm perform effectively in stock price moving and Canopy algorithm can be used before K-means algorithm to improve the efficiency.

Authors: Wang Xudong
Published: January 2023

One of the popular directions of natural language processing is text processing, which is an effective method used to manage data, and it has developed rapidly after the rise of artificial intelligence. However, text classification based on traditional machine learning algorithms encountered bottlenecks in the development process, and after deep learning, a multi-level neural network, was introduced, it was soon widely used in natural language processing problems, making many branches of the field develop further, and now deep learning is the mainstream model in the field of text classification. In this paper, we first introduce the general process of text classification, point out the current problems of text classification based on traditional machine learning, and then describe the superiority of deep learning in this aspect of feature extraction. After that, three different deep learning models are experimented, and the differences between the trained models are compared and the relative optimal models are derived. Finally, the future trends and research directions of deep learning in this field are discussed.

Heat stress is a detrimental factor affecting the welfare of all livestock, especially rabbits, as they are sensitive to high temperatures. The current study investigated the effect of high ambient temperature on growth performance, slaughter traits, physiological indicators, and some hematological and biochemical parameters in Algerian local growing rabbits. A total of 48 local rabbits of both sexes (35 days old) were allotted into two groups (24 per group). The control group rabbits were exposed to an ambient temperature and humidity, averaging 21.8 ± 1.3°C and 51.7 ± 3.6%, respectively. Rabbits in the heat stress group were subjected to a warm ambient temperature and humidity of 30.5 ± 1.82°C and 65.5 ± 7.2%, respectively. The growth performance was measured and calculated from 35 to 91 days of age. Physiological indicators (rectal, skin, and ear temperatures, respiratory, and heart rates) were examined at 88 days of age. The carcass traits, blood metabolites, and hematological parameters of rabbits were measured and calculated at slaughter (92 days of age). The obtained results indicated a decrease in body weight, daily gain, and daily feed intake of rabbits in heat stress rabbits, compared to the control group. However, feed conversion ratio was significantly higher in the heat stress group, compared to the control. Heat stress group rabbits showed significantly higher blood metabolite levels, except the glycemia, which was similar in both groups. No significant effect of heat stress was found on the carcass yield, anterior, posterior, and intermediate parts of the carcass. However, the yield of the other components of the carcass (liver, kidney, peritoneal and inter-scapular fat) was significantly lower in the heat stress group. In the heat stress group, rectal, skin, and ear temperatures as well as heart and respiratory rates, were significantly higher than those of the control group. In the present experimental conditions, exposure of local rabbits to chronic heat stress could induce some changes to biological, physiological, and biochemical parameters leading to altered growth performance.

In previous article, we reported initial findings based on small experiment on potential use of salt-water as cheap source of renewable battery with various kind of metals as anode and cathode. The purpose of these experiments is to find out which combination of anode and cathode is capable to generate the best performance in terms of electric voltage. Following those previous reports, this writer also conducted several tests to see effect of low-intensity laser irradiation on potable water. While the first series of our experiment clearly indicated possible laser cooling effect of low intensity laser irradiation of potable water and salt water, the following extended experiment on low intensity laser irradiation shows a rather mixed result. In a series of initial experiment, laser irradiation with laser pen gave lower electric potential (down to several minus milli Volt to the Voltmeter reading), but later on after more than 180 sec of irradiation, it shows increased positive milli Volt of electric potential of the system. In this experiment, we found that combination of low-intensity laser irradiation and Solfeggio scale frequencies applied to potable water shows dim result.

Following our previous frugal experiments of low-intensity laser irradiation on potable water, allow us to present a few considerations why this writer thinks that these are a pathway towards realistic tunneling experiment especially in the context of quantum (liquid) crystalline Cosmology. First of all, allow us to recall our preceding articles in CTPNP 2019, and also in Octogon Magazine 2022 regarding exact correspondence between Maxwell equations of classical electrodynamics and Dirac equations. What is more interesting is that it can be shown that fine structure of hydrogen spectrum can be described alternatively by classical electromagnetic considerations, therefore it supports our previous conclusion of such correspondence between electromagnetic equations and Dirac equation of quantum mechanics. Secondly, a series of extended experiments on laser irradiated cold water may suggest possible transition from liquid phase of water to be at least partially fourth phase of water, which may be composed of crystalline water (see e.g. Gerald Pollack, and also Harold Aspden on liquid crystalline). If we can imagine laser cooling effect can be done in protracted time, then we can achieve a physical representation of Aspden‘s liquid crystalline, or in a more mathematical term, Wigner crystal. In that sense, the fourth phase of water can be considered as a quantum system which can undergo quantum tunneling. In that sense, quantum tunneling of 1D Wigner crystal has been already considered. Last but not least, we also consider testimony by certain Admiral that he saw Unidentified Submerged Objects instead of more common term UFO. This makes more sense especially in light of observations of underwatersubmerged built structures or pyramids which are thousands years old. All of these seem to suggest a possibility that USO saucers may prefer to keep being in cold underwater or Arctic region because it is much easier for them to go tunneling to extra galactic or other far distance travelling, cf for instance [14]. Nonetheless, we understood that this is merely hypothetical.
