Abstract
The Exceptional Human Experience (EHE) process is a unique, dynamic, progressive,
reiterative, evolving pattern of human consciousness development initiated by an
anomalous experience and evidenced by expanding levels of reported inner and
outer transpersonal awareness. This paper is based on a review of hundreds of
experiencer first-person written narratives solicited by Rhea White and the EHE
Network over the past decade. It presents an orthogonal expansion of our
original 5-stage EHE process outline. The expanded model highlights a 5-stage x
12-classifier matrix design, including 60 unique cells into which
characteristics synthesized across, and detailed within, experiencer narratives
can be captured and mapped. The matrix model offers both a tool for researchers,
in the form of a classification grid, as well as a map of key features noted and
synthesized across, and within, each of the stages of the EHE process. The
discussion fleshes out some of the key issues for each of the stages. In
addition, the discussion speaks to the overarching processional interactions
between stages with a focus toward furthering exploration, research, and
application.
