As a contribution to the monographic issue of the Integral Transpersonal Journal, on the method of Biotransenergetics: an ontological methodology and clinical practice, this article focuses on Second Attention Epistemology, as an organismic-dynamic epistemological methodology intertwined with Biotransenergetics, and epistemologically concerned with the embodied further modes of knowing rooted in a perspective of transpersonal psychology. A corresponding research methodology is described here together with its embodied further mode of knowing, known as embodied understanding and embodied interpretation, the core concept in embodied phenomenological research methodology based on a transpersonal vision. The discussion exemplifies how these two approaches, Second Attention Epistemology and Embodied Phenomenology Research Methodology, may contribute to a re-complexifying of ourSelves in the world beyond a Cartesian divide. An organismic-dynamic mapping of inner experiences of states of consciousness is outlined, including a tool to access these states, called Transe Learning. Ontological concerns are discussed in relation to a transpersonal perspective. Our concluding thoughts focus on the nondual experience of human existence and point towards a culture of sharing embodied knowledge with community in dialogical, participative, and palpable ways.

More than 95 percent of those who lost their lives as a result of the spread of the Covid-19 virus to the world since the beginning of 2020 are over the age of 60 (WHO, 2020). The main purpose of this article is to reveal the vital difficulties of the 65-75 age group in Turkey, who were quarantined due to the Covid-19 pandemic, as a result of deprivation of their former normal lives and how they overcame them. The theoretical starting point of this study is the relational sociologist H. White and his “uncertainty” classification. In the study, Grounded Theory Methodology was chosen as one of the qualitative research approaches and open, axial and selective codings were made as a requirement of this. In this context, interviews were made with 12 individuals from the 65-75 age group and the data were presented in figures. As a result of open, axial and selective coding, the core concept of the study was determined as "solidarity". In accordance with the grounded theory, at the end of the study, the "solidarity process" was narrated using the "river" metaphor.

Hermeneutic Dialogue

AbstractThis study, based upon empirical phenomenological research, explores an essential phenomenon of human existence: the interpermeating communion of self and world. In interpermeation, the supposed separation of self and world is transcended. The being, energy, life, and meaning of the world "flow into" one's self and become integrated as part of who one is; simultaneously, one's being, consciousness, awareness, and self "flow into" the world (via perception and action) and become part of the world. Conscious of interpermeation, we tend to understand ourselves and reality differently, and to be more aware and compassionate with others and the natural world: awareness of interpermeation generates love as love generates awareness of interpermeation. A hermeneutic dialogue is offered between existential phenomenology, transpersonal psychology, and the world's spiritual traditions.

Psychological Concepts

This paper analyzes more deeply on how transpersonal psychology is one of  the fields in psychology that integrates psychological concepts, theories, and methods with spiritual wealth from various cultures and religions. The core concept of  transpersonal psychology is nonduality, the knowledge that each part of  human is part of  the whole universe. Cosmic union that sees everything as a whole. Transpersonal psychology focuses more on spiritual or transcendental aspects of  humans. Further, the transpersonal in the Islamic concept is more optimizing human potential for values   to Godhead, which is done by Sufi as an effort to find out a way to God, starting from tobat, zuhud, ridha, tawadhu, mahabbah and ma’rifah as the manifestations of  an optimization of  Godhead values   in human beings. The transpersonal psychology aspect is highly correlated with Islam particularly in the field of  mental illness healing which is done through salat, fasting, dzikir (remembering God), doa (praying), and hajj (pilgrimage).AbstrakArtikel ini mengungkap lebih dalam bagaimana psikologi transpersonal sebagai salah satu bidang psikologi yang mengintegrasikan konsep, teori, dan metode psikologi dengan kekayaan spritual dari bermacam-macam budaya dan agama. Konsep inti dari psikologi transpersonal adalah non-dualitas (nonduality), suatu pengetahuan bahwa tiap-tiap bagian (manusia) adalah bagian dari keseluruhan alam semesta. Penyatuan kosmis yang memandang segala-galanya sebagai satu kesatuan. Psikologi transpersonal lebih menitikberatkan pada aspek-aspek spiritual atau transendental dalam diri manusia. Kemudian transpersonal dalam konsep Islam lebih optimalisasi potensi manusia terhadap nilai-nilai Ketuhanannya, yang dilakukan dikalangan sufi dalam upaya menemukan jalan menuju kepada Tuhan, dimulai dari tobat, zuhud, ridha, tawadhu, mahabbah dan ma’rifah yang mana manifestasi dari hal tersebut ialah optimalisasi nilai-nilai Ketuhanan dalam diri manusia. Aspek psikologi transpersonal yang sangat berkeorelasi dalam Islam khususnya dalam bidang penyembuhan penyakit mental ialah melalui sholat, puasa, dzikir, doa,dan haji.

This chapter outlines the core concept and measure of electoral integrity, the key yardstick used by the Electoral Integrity Project (EIP) to evaluate free and fair elections. EIP defines the idea of electoral integrity as the presence of a set of agreed-upon international conventions and global norms, applying universally to all countries worldwide through the election cycle, including during the pre-election period, the campaign, on polling day, and its aftermath. For evidence, EIP developed an expert survey of Perceptions of Electoral Integrity (PEI), which gathers information covering all independent nation-states around the world that have held direct (popular) elections for the national parliament or presidential elections, excluding micro-states (with populations below 100,000). The 213 elections in 153 nations analyzed in the latest release used in this study, PEI-4.5, fall within the period from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2016.

Extensive Reading is probably one of the hottest topics in the context of second and foreign language (L2) reading instruction (Iwahori, 2008). Krashen’s Input Hypothesis (Rodrigo, Krashen, & Gribbons, 2004) theoretically supports ER in which L2 learners’ reading development and motivation to read are nurtured by exposure to a large quantity of comprehensible and interesting input. Graded Readers (GRs), lexically and syntactically graded readers, form a core of such facilitative input in ER. In this interview, Professor Richard Day, the Founding Chair Emeritus of the world-wide leading Extensive Reading Foundation, talks about the fundamental concept of L2 reading instruction. Furthermore, he gives encouraging support and input to readers of The Language Teacher who have embarked on and want to start the practice of ER. Professor Day has been tirelessly promoting ER through L2 teacher education for many years.

Characteristica Universalis

The subject of this research is the idea of simple universal language for description of the world in its relation to the so-called calculative thinking. The idea of simple universal language became one of the core philosophical ideas that led to the emergence of the project of Internet. Most remarkable incarnation of the idea became the Characteristica universalis of Leibniz, intended as a project for clarification of the precise names of things in existence. Development of the project led Leibniz to the work with binary calculation, which is imparted with ontological meaning within the framework of correspondence of the philosopher with the missionary in China – Father Bouvet. The article analyzes the critical perspective upon Leibniz's philosophy as the representative of the new European calculative thinking. Research methodology is based on the correspondence of Leibniz and Father Bouvet, as well as retrospective analysis of evolution of the idea of universal language. The main conclusion consists in the thought that the idea of creation of simple universal language for describing the world through the number of historical interactions strongly affected origination of the Internet. Leibniz brings under deliberation the binary system of calculation, which he considers ontological and reflects the divine harmony of the world. The article also examines the criticism towards calculative new European thinking, formulating a conclusion that the attempt to replace reasoning with calculations and formalization does not always mean leveling things in existence to the state of objects, but rather represents one of the core vectors of thinking of the European man, and is associated with the ideas on the “great chain of existence”, completeness and continuity of all in the world.

The world has been surprised by the emergence of a COVID 19 pandemic, was born in China, and widespread to various countries in the world. In Indonesia, the government issued several policies to break the COVID 19 pandemic chain, which also triggered some pro-cons in the midst of society. One of the policies government takes is the closure of learning access directly at school and moving the learning process from physical class to a virtual classroom or known as online learning. In the economic sector also affects the parents’ financial ability to provide sufficient funds to support the implementation of distance learning applied by the government. The implications of the distance education policy are of course the quality of learning, including the subjects of Islamic religious education, which is essentially aimed at planting knowledge, skills, and religious consciousness to form the character of the students. Online education must certainly be precise, in order to provide equal education services to all students, prepare teachers to master the technology, and seek the core learning of Islamic religious education can still be done well.

Despite the dumbing-down of education in recent years, it would be unusual to find a ten-year-old who could not name the major continents on a map of the world. Yet how many adults have the faintest idea of the structures that exist within the Earth? Understandably, knowledge is limited by the fact that the Earth’s interior is less accessible than the surface of Pluto, mapped in 2016 by the NASA New Horizons spacecraft. Indeed, Pluto, 7.5 billion kilometres from Earth, was discovered six years earlier than the similar-sized inner core of our planet. Fortunately, modern seismic techniques enable us to image the mantle right down to the core, while laboratory experiments simulating the pressures and temperatures at great depth, combined with computer modelling of mantle convection, help identify its mineral and chemical composition. The results are providing the most rapid advances in our understanding of how this planet works since the great revolution of the 1960s.
