The Middle Pillar - Transpersonal Psychology

The chapter on Transpersonal Psychology, from Israel Regardie's book The Middle Pillar, is available online at Psychosynthesis Online. Regardie does a reasonable job at describing Roberto Assagioli's Psychosynthesis model as it applies to occultists. Regardie states: "In magic, this is the spiritual discipline of the Great Work and reunification – the second half of the solve et coagula formula of alchemy. It represents our goal to 'become more than human,' or in less mystical terms, to become the best possible human being we can be, evolving to our fullest potential." This is a great recognition of the value of Psychosynthesis to occultists, and the alchemical nature of Assagioli's teachings.
