Integral Transpersonal Journal March 15, 2026 Pier Luigi Lattuada
From Tradition to Triunity proposes an evolutionary framework for transpersonal healing grounded in Pier Luigi Lattuada’s Biotransenergetica (BTE) and its core Triunity model (0–1–2–3). Drawing on ancient spiritual traditions—including shamanism, yogic and alchemical paths, Christian mysticism, Sufism, and Buddhism—the article traces a shared archetypal intuition: healing as a process of return...
Research Journal of Psychology March 15, 2026
This article argues that classical Islamic mysticism (Tasawwuf) resolved a philosophical problem that speculative theology (kalam) managed but never solved: the antinomy between divine transcendence (tanzih) and divine accessibility (tashbih). Through analysis of three principal figures, al-Junayd (d. 298/910), Ibn 'Arabi (d. 638/1240), and Ahmad Sirhindi (d. 1034/1624), and the mediating...
METAFIZIKA International Journal of Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies March 15, 2026 Aida Gasımova
This study examines the mystical elements in pre-Islamic Arab society and their role as formative influences on the development of Islamic Sufism. While much of European Orientalist scholarship of the 19th and 20th centuries often viewed Sufism as a foreign or externally introduced phenomenon, more recent research emphasizes its intrinsic connection to Islam, the importance of considering...
Integral Transpersonal Journal March 15, 2026 Vaid Atwal Ranpreet Singh
This essay offers a transpersonal reimagining of human knowledge through three archetypal gestures of consciousness: the analytical clarity of the Scientist, the contemplative insight of the Mystic/ Seer, and the metaphorical-resonant perception of the Poet. These are not professions, nor historical figures — not J.J. Thomson, Edison, or Homer — but qualities of knowing that dwell within every...
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 12, 2026 Inmaculada Martín Lobato preprint
The article examines the role of religious Platonism in María Zambrano’s theory of mysticism as a starting point for developing a new theoretical framework from which to engage in dialogue with the Renaissance mystical tradition. This framework is constructed on the basis of Zambrano’s categories of: the relationship with life and death, the multiplicity of times, union with the absolute, and...
Synthese March 12, 2026 Darius Parvizi-Wayne, Thomas Montefiore 2 citations
Abstract The flow state has historically been a source of mystery and, at times, mysticism. Whereas some accounts of flow allude to the flowing individual’s conscious absorption and focus, others imply that the individual is, in fact, not conscious. If we take this latter model seriously, our intuition that those in flow ought to be creditable for their acts becomes deeply threatened. However,...
Dirasah International Journal of Islamic Studies March 12, 2026 Zakariyah Zakariyah, Ainul Muttaqin
Modernity, characterized by rationalism, materialism, and the dominance of technology, has generated spiritual, moral, and existential crises in contemporary human life. This condition highlights the need to reinterpret Sufi teachings so that they remain relevant in addressing modern challenges. This study aims to analyze the concepts of ma‘rifah and fanā’ in the classical Sufi tradition and...
Addiction March 11, 2026 Christina Mcanulty, Nicolas Garel
Bloy et al. [1] provide an important and methodologically rigorous secondary analysis of the Ketamine for the reduction of Alcoholic Relapse (KARE) trial, examining whether acute psychoactive effects mediate the therapeutic impact of ketamine in alcohol use disorder (AUD). Their finding that dissociative and perceptual effects did not mediate abstinence outcomes is clinically relevant, and...
Research Square March 10, 2026 Giammarco di Gregorio, Sophia Basset, Harjot Manmohan et al. preprint
Abstract Depression and anxiety affect one in five adults, with age affecting prevalence. While clinical trials suggest classic psychedelics (e.g., psilocybin, LSD) and non-classic psychedelics (e.g., MDMA, ketamine) may alleviate these symptoms, it remains unclear how these relationships function in naturalistic settings or how they vary across the lifespan. We conducted a cross-sectional...

The “God gene” hypothesis has attracted attention in the literature as an approach suggesting that religious and spiritual tendencies in individuals may have a genetic basis. Dean Hamer’s hypothesis claims that the VMAT2 gene may be related to a predisposition toward mystical experiences through its role in regulating monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine....
