Transpersonal psychology and sociology are relatively new fields within social sciences and humanities, focusing on spiritual and collective dimensions of consciousness beyond individual experience. This paper reviews key theoretical contributions from Carl Gustav Jung and Émile Durkheim, specifically the concepts of the collective unconscious and collective consciousness, to illuminate the transpersonal dimension of religion and its role in developing contemporary transdisciplinary approaches. Through comparative conceptual analysis, it shows how integrating subjective and collective aspects of religious experience is possible. The paper concludes that a transpersonal perspective enables deeper understanding of the relationship between individual and collective, psychological and social, and spiritual and everyday, offering a valuable contribution to scientific paradigms integrating inner and outer dimensions of human experience.
