It has been said that Transpersonal Psychology is the 4th psychology following humanistic psychology. And Ken Wilber has been a playing leading role in that part. According to his opinion, It is Integral Psychology that he admitting partial true of all the East & West Philosophy and combine each other. He experienced firsthand the Sön discipline and divided the stages of consciousness of human beings, he cognized that it was developed from the lower realms to the ultimate realms and was based on Vijñānavāda.
So, I can say that the main substance of this paper is a comparative analysis of Wilber’s each stage and the eight-fold vijñānavāda theory.
That is, Five-Vijñāna was The Lower Realms, Mano-Vijñāna was The Intermediate Realms, Manas-Vijñāna was The Higher Realms, and Ālaya-Vijñāna was coped with the causal region and The Ultimate Realms in the character of śūnyatā･tathatā･dharmatā.
But, while the theory of Wilber’s development or evolution is conversion phased classification by translation and transfiguration, each the vijñāna of vijñaptimātra-vāda is not the stages of development but the classification of funtions of vijñāna, therefore, his each stage cannot be identical with each vijñāna.
Even though, It have to do an in-depth discussion of the views of Buddhism & Transpersonal psychology, for the harmonized unification on Wilber’s viewpoint and for the acted as mediators between the East and the West in the true sense of the truth.
