ABSTRACT:
This article responds to Schneider's (1987) critique of transpersonal psychology. It is contended that Schneider seriously misunderstood transpersonal consciousness and psychology. Transpersonal consciousness is achievable, as evidenced by abundant credible literature, but it is not immediately available to everyone. Research suggests that transpersonal consciousness is positively related to mental health. Transpersonal consciousness can have beneficial and significant social, therapeutic, and life-style consequences. Transpersonal psychology is as scientifically feasible as are most areas of human psychology, but personal experience is necessary to investigate this area, and there are no guarantees that a given method of attaining transpersonal consciousness will be successful in a given instance.
