Transpersonality aiming to explain the questions that modern psychology can not answer about people with mystical tendencies and intuitive concepts is trying to keep it in a platform that aims to reach the goal of being a perfect person after having spent it in various stages instead of describing the human being as neurotic. Transpersonal psychology suggests the idea that there is a dimension of love in this life by giving full attention to the life adventure of an adult person. It is mentioned that this dimension appears when one's self-specific existence delves into the meaning or attempts to place the self into a plane of a greater perception and comprehension.
