| Abstract: | The article explores the development of consciousness through various psychological and spiritual frameworks, highlighting the parallels between different traditions and the concept of a perennial philosophy. It discusses stage-based models of consciousness, such as those proposed by Kegan, Piaget, and Maslow, which illustrate a progression from ego-centric to more expansive states of awareness. The text also examines various strategies for enhancing well-being and consciousness, including mindfulness, social support, and physical activity, while acknowledging the diverse and individualized nature of these practices. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of understanding altered states of consciousness and their potential impact on personal development and societal well-being. The author is conducting a study to gather insights on consciousness development experiences and practices from a non-clinical population. [Extracted from the article] |
