EL GIRO PARTICIPATIVO DE LA PSICOLOGIA TRANSPERSONAL
Con Rafa Millán y Mardía Herrero
"Recuerdo con cariño el día que pasamos en Barcelona con Vicente Merlo y cómo él insistió en que la obra de Jorge Ferrer le había hecho despertar del sueño perennialista. El psicólogo transpersonal le había abierto la mente.. Las palabras de Ferrer han sido a la vez, para mí, removedoras y estimulantes, como un espejo a un tiempo despiadado y generoso, que te permite tirar del hilo hasta conectar con tu propio corazón."
Entrevista con
Rafa Millán y Mardía Herrero
"Jorge Ferrer dice sentir nostalgia del futuro. Su propuesta de una espiritualidad participativa ha ampliado la perspectiva de la psicología transpersonal. Durante la pandemia escribió "Novogamia", libro titulado con un concepto creado por él en que plantea la diversidad de posibilidades en las relaciones amorosas, más allá de la monogamia o el poliamor"
Entrevista con Xavi Pont
Conversaciones con Sentido
"Entrevista a Jorge Ferrer, uno de los padres de la psicología transpersonal contemporánea y un referente en el enfoque participativo y co-creativo de la espiritualidad. Jorge es partidario de un pluralismo religioso que no necesariamente implique un núcleo común y que ponga al cuerpo en el centro de la experiencia espiritual. Recientemente ha publicado Novogamia, un libro que pretende impulsar un nuevo tipo de relaciones afectivo-sexuales."

MONOGAMY, POLYAMORY, AND INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS
Interview by Jeffrey Mishlove for NEW THINKING ALLOWED
Jeffrey Mishlove: "Jorge Ferrer shows that the same pluralistic approach that he takes toward mystical paths can also be applied in the arena of human relationships. He describes mainstream western culture as 'mononormative'-- meaning that sexual monogamy is the primary standard. However, he acknowledges that this leads to various complications -- particularly widespread adultery. A variety of other relationship models also exist including polyamory, serial monogamy, open marriages, and even modes beyond the monogamy/polyamory binary."

EMBODIED SPIRITUALITY
Interview by Jeffrey Mishlove for NEW THINKING ALLOWED
Jeffrey Mishlove: "Jorge Ferrer maintains that many spiritual seekers engage in one-sided approaches that do not incorporate an appreciation of the human body. In fact, certain traditions disparage the body as being animalistic and unspiritual. He advocates a revised version of the Bodhisatva Vow (for Buddhists and non-Buddhists) that emphasizes the enlightenment of all parts of the self -- as well as all sentient beings. He also discusses the role of sexual intimacy in spiritual practice."

THE EXISTENCE OF SPIRITUAL ENTITIES
Interview by Jeffrey Mishlove for NEW THINKING ALLOWED
Jeffrey Mishlove: "Jorge Ferrer notes that many people have reported contacts with spiritual entities of both a positive and negative nature. He describes several of his own experiences. He also acknowledges the difficulty in determining if these experiences involve autonomous entities, independent of his own consciousness. He advocates a post-colonial research approach in which scientists will work together as equals with indigenous shamans and other experiencers."

COMPARATIVE MYSTICISM
Interview by Jeffrey Mishlove for NEW THINKING ALLOWED
In this wide-ranging conversation, Jorge and Jeff share their memories and reflections about a wide range of mystical paths. The discussion focuses on the relative merits of following set instructions from a guru to seek mystical insights. Another perspective come from the literature concerning spontaneous awakening of consciousness. Jorge explains why he believes that the mystics of many different traditions often feel closer to each other than they are with the more conservative, orthodox members of their own faith community.
