Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThe abstract discusses the concepts of Internal Unity and External Unity, referencing the works of Walter Stace, Walter Pahnke, Kierkegaard, and Aldous Huxley. It suggests that these thinkers explore different forms of unity experience, possibly related to consciousness and mystical or paranormal states. The text implies a distinction between internal, subjective unity and external, objective unity, drawing on philosophical and psychological perspectives. However, as the abstract is brief and lacks a clear finding or argument, it primarily indicates a theoretical or philosophical analysis of these concepts within health psychology.
