Summary/Abstract: The basic thesis of this article is that the concept of the psychologically “healthy personality” is basically an illusion, having no basis in reality, and which cannot actually be achieved, because a psychologically healthy consciousness and the conceptually derived narcissistic ego-personality are really antithetical to each other, or fundamentally incompatible with one another. A healthy consciousness and the ego-personality, or the conceptually defined sense of exclusive, separate, identity, exist in different dimensions of consciousness. This article will attempt to demonstrate that psychological health is natural or inherent to our pure, undistorted, unmodified, consciousness when our consciousness is abiding in the non-dualistic, holistic, relational, dimension of Transpersonal Being, whereas egoistic personality arises from consciousness abiding and functioning in duality, or self-division and continuous narcissistic psychological disconnection from others.
