Transpersonal psychology has been influenced at least as much by Asian and indigenous spiritual systems as European psycho-logical and philosophical traditions. It has strong connections to the meditative traditions of Buddhism and Hinduism, shamanic traditions, esoteric and gnostic European systems such as alchemy and Celtic mysticism, indigenous African wisdom, and Native American spirituality. From its origins, transpersonal psychology has been strongly multicultural.
Transpersonal psychology is strongly multicultural.
It values the diversity of expressions of human experience while recognizing the universality of its deeper dimensions. It actively seeks out and integrates insights on human nature and healing from a wide variety of cultures and recognizes the role of the cultural context in the experience of individuals and groups. It can and should do more in this area. Differences I would say that transpersonal psychology recognizes two responses to the question of diversity. From one perspective, it can recognize and honor the astounding variety in the manifestations of being.
