200 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Weaving her text around the symbolic wisdom of the ancient Greek myth of Psyche and Eros, Psyche's Yearning intertwines contemporary perspectives on the challenges of spiritual evolution in our time. Author Gillian Ross passionately espouses the need for a new understanding of what it means to be human. Besieged by the messages of consumerism, disillusioned with traditional religion, and faced with the possibility of planetary disaster, our souls are more than ever yearning for purpose and a sense of wholeness and holiness in a fragmented secular world. Psyche's Yearning addresses that crisis of meaning. It offers guidance and inspiration on ways of transcending the pain and limitations of our ego-driven, alienated selves and embracing our wider and deeper identities as unique expressions of a universal Eros, or life force. Humankind is being called to bring forth a new level of consciousness, and the next great hero in that adventure needs to be the mystic. Mystical experiences are no longer the prerogative of the saint or the shaman but the birthright of us all. It is a birthright that must be claimed if we are to find the collective will to serve the community of Earth and its myriad life forms with wisdom, compassion and joy.
