Published in Sandra Rasmussen, Developing Competencies for Recovery, 2023
Self-transcendence needs wherein person is motivated by values that transcend beyond the personal self. “Be all that you can be” through the full experience and expression of talents, capabilities, and potentialities. See Figure 5.1.
Solitude
Published in Stephen Buetow, From Loneliness to Solitude in Person-centred Health Care, 2023
According to Hermann Hesse’s126Reflections, persons discover in solitude that their “innermost self is the spirit, that it is God, the indivisible.” Neville Goddard127 similarly suggested God is not Other since “I and my father are one” (John 10:30). Solitude facilitates this quasi-mystical, spiritual discovery as part of, or independent from, organized religion. Time alone becomes awe-full rather than awful in transporting persons deep into and beyond their conscious selves.128 This self-transcendence may come through practices ranging from meditation and prayer to enjoying music, art and food.
Above pain
Published in Stephen Buetow, Rethinking Pain in Person-Centred Health Care, 2020
Freeing persons of the hold of pain, true self-transcendence typically entails “out-of-body” consciousness expansion. However, drawing on the kabbalistic concept of Tzimtzum,3 it could involve persons expanding their inner, embodied awareness to make room for pain as a distinct stage of their journey to divine transcendence or spiritual meaning. This “ascent through descent” uses pain to be ultimately uplifting in raising (under)standing by persons to a point they have never or seldom been before. Practices such as deep meditation4 and yoga could relieve pain5 within this or other experience of self-transcendence.

Individuals who suffer from depression tend to ruminate about negative thoughts and events (Connolly & Alloy, 2018), which causes difficulty in confronting all life challenges and the inability to expand their boundaries healthily (Butler, 1974). They cannot feel the full integration of their health, causing a decrease in well-being and limiting their ability to transcend their limitations (Grant et al., 2013; Malone & Wachholtz, 2018). Self-transcendence (ST), the ability of individuals to expand their healthy boundaries, helps find meaning in life through or outside stressful daily events and happiness in every moment of life through the self, others in a social network, or a spiritual connection (Fiske, 2019). It allows individuals to transcend their fears and losses and view the world from a higher perspective (Llanos & Martínez Verduzco, 2022).

Our results indicated that patients with HG had different character traits compared with healthy pregnant women. Firstly, HG patients scored significantly lower in cooperativeness score than controls. People who have higher cooperativeness scores are defined as empathetic, tolerant, compassionate, supportive, fair, and principled individuals. They tend to be a good partner in teamwork as well as other areas of life. In contrast, lower scores of cooperativeness score indicate that decreased empathy and also can have communication problems with other [22,23]. HG patients also scored significantly lower on SD dimension compared with controls. People who are high on SD are certain of their purposes. They tend to accept responsibility for their attitudes and behavior. In contrast clinicians commonly define people who have lower scores on SD as having a personality disorder. HG patients had also lower scores on self-transcendence dimension. Self-transcendent people are defined as satisfied, patient, creative and spiritual. These individuals seem to tolerate ambiguity and uncertainty. High Self-Transcendence has adaptive advantages when a person is confronted with suffering and death, which is inevitable with advancing age. In contrast lower scores on ST attributes that tend to intolerate uncertainty and ambiguity [22–24]. We can say that HG patients globally different character traits compared with healthy pregnant women. Our result is the first to demonstrate different character traits in patients with HG.
Personality Traits in Former Spanish Substance Users Recovered with Ayahuasca
Published in Journal of Psychoactive Drugs, 2020
Last, the Aya Group scored higher than the Control Group in Self-Transcendence and Spiritual Acceptance (ST3). These differences can be interpreted in different ways. One interpretation is to consider the difference not as a consequence of ayahuasca, since higher Self-Transcendence is common in people with SUD (Agut and De la Gándara 2001; Svrakic, Svrakic, and Cloninger 1996). If we assume scores were higher before ayahuasca treatment, then one option is to consider any potential therapeutic effect as the interplay between Self-Transcendence and other dimensions. As some authors suggest, when Self-Transcendence is associated to high Self-directedness and/or Cooperativeness, it indicates a creative and mature spirituality (Svrakic, Svrakic, and Cloninger 1996), indicating a healthy, imaginative, and flexible personality (Ruiz Sanchez de León et al. 2010). So maybe ayahuasca could act in Self-Transcendence in the same way as it was proposed for impulsivity, giving space, content, and direction to the urge for transcendental experiences and mystical feelings.
