Douglas A. MacDonald, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Psychology, University of Detroit Mercy, Editor Emeritus, International Journal of Transpersonal Studies "These volumes exemplify precisely the direction in which I for one would like to see transpersonal psychology grow: Capriles articulates profoundly innovative ideas about the nature of mind and transformational processes through a solid grasp of the insights from a specific religious tradition."
