Love and the World: A Guide to Conscious Soul Practice
Love and the World: A Guide to Conscious Soul Practice by Robert Sardello. Spiritual psychology is an active practice. It develops embodied, conscious soul life to make that life open and receptive to the spiritual realms. This is done as an act of loving ourselves, others, and the world. Psychology, I want to claim, is more than the study of the human soul. One cannot conduct such a study without undergoing inner changes in the process. Psychology, since it is we who do it, necessarily implies that psyche studies psyche. It therefore belongs, by its very nature, to the realm of practice. It is not a theory wandering around seeking application. We must do our psychology rather than theorize about the soul. And, because soul is not abstracted from the world, the doing of psychology is the doing of love – consciously, actively, and for the sake of others and the world. If you enter into the interior of these words, your soul will awaken, and begin to move in this direction. It follows, too that this is not only a book about psychology: it is also the very speech of psyche itself. Originally $16.95, 203 pp. S (0.7 lbs)
