Ongoing reflections on who we are beneath the mind, the ego, and the noise of modern life. Blending transpersonal psychology with honest, unscripted thinking, Alex (psychotherapist and writer) turns life's hardest questions – personal and collective – into an invitation to grow. Press play and reflect along.
Transpersonal Reflections Ep. 1: Is the AI Threat actually an Invitation to Evolve?
This video explores the growing fear around AI and what it's really asking of us. Using the story of a colony of ants that grew wings to escape a dying environment, we draw a parallel to human evolution, arguing that every existential threat forces a leap to the next stage of development, and that ours is spiritual, not physical. Drawing on transpersonal psychology and the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, this reflection unpacks why the deepest response to the AI threat isn't panic or resistance, but the reclaiming of our own attention and the rediscovery of who we are beneath the mind, the ego, and the personality. Perfect for anyone feeling unsettled by the pace of technology and searching for a grounded, spiritual way to make sense of it.🔔 Subscribe for monthly transpersonal reflections on spiritual growth, mindfulness, consciousness, and self-realization.

‘You Are So Much More Than You Think!’: Spiritual Awakening by Alan Watts - What is God? Who am I?
God is playing a game of hide and seek where he is hiding pretending to be you and I. This is an essential story in the Vedanta Philosophy, a central Eastern Spirituality Teaching.
Alan Watts was one of the main figures who introduced Eastern spiritual ideas to the West.

I have created 'My Bookshelf' intending to share the wisdom from books that have deeply influenced me. I believe that books like these contain the urgently needed transformational tools we are all looking for.
We analyze the books from a psycho-spiritual perspective. We approach it from the angle of: What can we learn from this? What lessons can we take with us, which when put into practice, will lead us to greater happiness, fulfillment and inner peace?
We focus on Mindfulness, Spiritual Growth and Personal Improvement.

Published in 1945, 'In Search of The Miraculous' is nowadays one of the most in-depth records of Gurdjieff's spiritual teaching that we have.
Join us as we try to decipher how to get out of the state of 'inner slavery' that Gurdjieff describes as 'being lost in one's personality'. His advice is simple: Learn to Remember Your Self.
