Abstract

Alienation is one of the subjects studied in religion, philosophy, social sciences, and psychology, referring to the process in which the self of a human is transformed into something other than itself. This research addresses the comparative analysis of this concept across different findings and theories. The research question is the feasibility of constructing a common model for the quality of human alienation and the consequences of this transformation in the afterlife, based on the principles of Transcendent Theosophy, as well as explaining its relationship with the results of other schools of thought. In line with the raised issue, the research question is: Can a comprehensive model, adaptable to the theories of other schools, be established on the basis of philosophical and religious foundations in Transcendent Theosophy to understand the "becoming other" of humanity? How will the outcome and quality of this transformation reflect in the mirror of the afterlife? The keyword "becoming other" in this research refers to the result of the transformative process. The authors argue that alienation is nothing more than the transformation of the human being into another realm (the transformation of the self into the non-self). This keyword is a general concept that can encompass all existential realms, meaning that humans are potentially capable of transforming into all different existential dimensions. The research methodology to find a suitable answer in this study is a comparative and qualitative analysis, with data sourced from a digital library based on computational methods.
