Abstract
The author’s long quest for a full depth and breadth study of the psychology of fear/terror is one that is not easy to attain; and thus, it will be in progress for some time to come to fruition. The work by Ernest Becker, terror management theorists and others herein, is a beginning probe into the Immortality Project (psychology) that he believes is one important pathway to a psychology of the soul. The paper includes a basic review of the Immortality Project conception and its importance which includes the less familiar writing of Ken Wilber and his philosophical and theoretical views of Immortality Project as particularly a useful direction to go to improve upon Becker’s views.
