Description: Book Description: 
The new spiritual consciousness is an existing phenomenon, and it is present in people’s lives. Three dimensions of the new spiritual consciousness have been revealed: ”Ego-Dyastole” (reduction of the functions of the Ego), ”Alert Consciousness in the Present” and "Transcending the Functions of Ego”. The new spiritual consciousness is in connection with certain important variables that determine the mental health of the individual, including subjective wellbeing, individual aspirations, coping strategies and the ability of processing depressive experience. This new book examines the influence of the new spiritual consciousness on the personality and how new spiritual consciousness and its specific dimensions influence the temperament and character of an individual.
