This dissertation is a phenomenological research study with a Buddhist and Western depth psychological literature review of the archetypal dimensions of the rebirth phenomena. Each co-researcher's life grew out of cross-cultural world communities. In the search for the essential structure and essence of the rebirth experience, the researcher found the following six final comprehensive themes from the 52 comprehensive themes: (1) Intensely felt a wide range of heightened somatic sensations; (2) Intensely felt a wide range of emotions; (3) Experienced a wide range of cognitive states; (4) Experienced a shift in consciousness and perspective due to an ontological, philosophical questioning of the meaning and purpose of one's personal reality; (5) Experienced rebirth as a process with two distinct shifts, ending with the feeling that one's life is completely changed or different in a positive way; (6) Feeling an at-oneness and perceiving the interrelatedness of all existence.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation is a phenomenological research study with a Buddhist and Western depth psychological literature review of the archetypal dimensions of the rebirth phenomena. Each co-researcher's life grew out of cross-cultural world communities. In the search for the essential structure and essence of the rebirth experience, the researcher found the following six final comprehensive themes from the 52 comprehensive themes: (1) Intensely felt a wide range of heightened somatic sensations; (2) Intensely felt a wide range of emotions; (3) Experienced a wide range of cognitive states; (4) Experienced a shift in consciousness and perspective due to an ontological, philosophical questioning of the meaning and purpose of one's personal reality; (5) Experienced rebirth as a process with two distinct shifts, ending with the feeling that one's life is completely changed or different in a positive way; (6) Feeling an at-oneness and perceiving the interrelatedness of all existence.
520 $a Chapter One considers the importance of this investigation. Chapter Two contains a cross-cultural literature review of the significance of the rebirth archetypal expression in Western depth psychology and through the Buddhist psychology and religion.
520 $a Chapters Three, Four, and Five describe the phenomenological methods used in the actual research on the experience of rebirth with the results and conclusions.
520 $a The result of this phenomenological study is the following statements which describe the essential structure of the experience of rebirth: The experience of rebirth involves intensely felt emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and somatic states. It is felt as a "going into and coming out of" process with two distinct shifts of consciousness. The first shift begins with the feeling of not being in control and proceeds to a sense of psychological ego death. The ego death is usually brought on by a profound personal crisis which is generally felt as a negative experience. The second shift or "coming out of" is experienced as a transcendental union, a sense of the interrelatedness of all existence and one's highest Self. The Divine Love felt in this union results in a consciousness transformed and enhanced by a deeper understanding of the meaning and purpose of one's personal reality.
