He looks forward to the American Psychological Association eventually recognizing Transpersonal Psychology as a valid area of scientific inquiry (as did the British Psychological Society in 1996) by
granting it formal (e.g., Division) status, for, as Georgi Lozanov noted in his
Outlines of Suggestopedy, "No one is entitled to deny a science that is
unknown to him," and as St. John of the Cross said, in a spirit of a
true scientist -- of the spirit, in his case -- "In order to arrive at
that which thou knowest not, thou must go by a way that thou knowest
not."
Dr. Seiden has served as NGO Representative to the United Nations
for the International
Union of
