Psychology, until this book, has acted as if it is a concerned only with the individual, as if we are not inextricably entwined with history and culture -- these are not 'added on' to the human being, but, truly, while we are individuals, we are bound in soul and spirit and life with others. This most exciting book reveals how the depth psychology of Alfred Adler, is indeed a true dance with others and the world. The writing is scintillating and brilliant, the ideas glow, the thought deeply engaging. A book to be read and savored, slowly,, and then, again, like good wine!

In this chaotic world, we need Silence to maintain and enlarge our inner connection with the mystery of the world, to find a sense of spiritual direction, and to become more receptive to healing from the spiritual worlds. Robert Sardello's exquisite descriptions of previously unrecognized dimensions of Silence, along with exercises, can help us find what we most long to feel—an intimate sense of being cared for. In Silence, Robert Sardello gives us nothing less than a gorgeous, sustained epiphany on Silence itself. From the trials of St. Anthony to Anthroposophy, Depth Psychology, and phenomenology, Sardello's erudition is always present, but never intrusive, since this work is also an experience. It is a palpable entry into Silence as it unfolds, offering each reader an intimation of its secrets. "Sardello's work Silence sets a momentum into order every time I pick it up, on that asks only that I stay open to that momentum. I haven't encountered this kind of book before, and I don't know what's in it for me, only that I have a longing to stay open to it. I daresay the work will speak for itself. I can't speak for it except to pray it finds a very wide audience and works its magic thereon." 
―Joseph Chilton Pearce, author The Magical Child and The Death of Religion and the Rebirth of Spirit
 "This book is a breakthrough. In Silence, Robert Sardello modestly, elegantly—and magisterially—brings thirty years of work in phenomenological, soul-based spiritual psychology to a new level. What was implicit before becomes explicit: spiritual psychology is not just another theory; it is a path to a new reality." ―Christopher Bamford, author, The Voice of the Eagle, and coauthor, Green Hermeticism

A stunning collection of highly unusual poems by Lyle Novinski, a renown painter. This collection of poems, written over decades, will appeal to anyone who loves the celebration of small things, sensuously felt by the imagination pouring its perception of places, scents, touch, sounds into the body; world beauty, felt deeply. For years, Lyle Novinkski took yearly trips to Italy and Greece, seeing those landscapes and people with ever more acute and subtle perception. He saw through the artist's eye - open, with wonder and the ability to completely surrender to whatever was present, allowing it all to flow into his soul, without prejudice, judement, or speculation. Then, the matrix of scenes from that year would remain in memory, fermenting and distilling into poems that were written - as love poems to his wife as he would go off on another trip the following year. Each poem gives a sense of a possible future, present as though it had just been happening. The writing elevates the world of time, the tapestry of past, present, and future, now endowed with love. Time intimate, overcoming the yearly space between him and his beloved. The way into this poetry is provided by, Glenn Arbery, astute literary and cultural critic. This introduction is not only instructive, it is in itself a masterful, creative piece, worthy of savoring slowly. Such a reading helps one enter the poems with care, with a sense of how to be with these words in such a way as to allow bodily perception of what Lyle was seeing. The secret lies in letting yourself become enveloped in stillness, the true subject, the bright theme whispering throughout this book. Such poetry educates the soul in how to move from intense but unruly emotion into the spirit-filled presence of feeling.

"Light was Everywhere", poems by Richard Wehrman, brings together for the first time poetry previously shared only with a small number of individuals working, as he has, on paths of awakening, insight, and inner illumination. These poems always take as their touchstone the vibrant revealed earth, the rebirth of soul and spirit, and the continuous revelations of presence and awareness. A support for those who travel any difficult road, this small volume offers a confirmation of the challenges and rewards as we move towards spirit and open heart awareness. "Light was Everywhere" points us toward the beauty and support we are continually given by the world, and the growing recognition that what the Earth herself is, we are.

Healing Ourselves From Medicine, based on thirty years of practical experience, provides a detailed working manual for the application of the principles of an anthroposophical approach to medicine that can be utilized by anyone. At the same time, it clearly explains the philosophical underpinnings of this unique approach to self-healing. This writing will prove to be an invaluable aid for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of human health and illness. “Humanity is at war with itself. On many fronts, humans are fighting each other in a silent but raging and devastating war. Medicine is a key battleground in this conflict. On one side stand the forces advocating for the full mechanization of the human being—looking at old age as a disease, and damaged organs as mere body parts that can be replaced with other similar body parts. On the other side stand humans who want to advance a more profound, dignified, and spiritual view of the human being and the healing process. In this epochal conflict, Jake Tan has clearly placed his future with the forces that would resist the mechanization of humanity. Jake is bringing an important message that deserves to be heard, especially in a time when humanity is making fateful decisions that will determine the future direction and condition of subsequent generations. Will we choose to mechanize ourselves and solve the ‘problem’ of ‘illness’ and ‘old age’ by attempting to transfer human consciousness into the bodies of super-intelligent machines? Or will we view biological ‘defects,’ illness, holistic health, and death as essential for the spiritual evolution of humanity? In the end, you, as readers, will also have to make a choice. May Jake’s book help guide you in making that choice.” - Nicanor Perlas, Author, Shaping Globalization: Civil Society, Cultural Power, and Threefolding, and Recipient, The Right Livelihood Award

The Power of Soul is a practical approach to knowing the spiritual world emanation, represented by the twelve virtues and how it works into our soul and bodily life in furthering our evolution into humanity. By coming to a "KNOWING" of the spiritual, soul and bodily interplay of the twelve virtues, our incarnation can become a conscious soul life that is connected to the spiritual world, enabling virtue to be lived right here on earth. It is a practical guide complete with the phenomenology of the 12 virtues as related to humanity, alchemical processes and exercises for the reader to experience. This book is a treasure, which you will want to refer to over and over again if you are involved in any type of spiritual or soul work. Robert Sardello is a major figure in America's rediscovery of soul, reacquainting thousands with its importance and vitality. Thomas Moore hails him as one of our most creative and original thinkers, while James Hillman praises him for breaking open startling new realms of meaning. Sardello's probing, provocative books and his seminars and "soul retreats" through his School of Spiritual Psychology, have earned him widespread respect and attention. In The Power of Soul, he shows us how to educate the emotions, refine the soul, and develop inner character. He explains how to locate the soul and gain a sense of how our soul wants to act in the world. In warm, thoughtful prose, Sardello gives us a new, Western way to lead an authentic spiritual life and gain an inner feeling for each virtue. He says, "Once we enter into the task of developing virtue, we enter into an alchemical process of transforming our soul life into capacities for helping others gracefully, and with subtlety and nuance."

Finally, at last, a therapeutic psychology that sees, honors, extolls, concentrates on the very best, the very highest qualities available to the human being. What counseling should be about -- developing strategies with patients to inwardly find the ever-present virtues, ideals, deep human longings, and bring them into the world in concrete and practical ways. Soul as action! Drawing on the work of James Hillman and Alfred Adler -- but equally on the great thinkers of the Catholic tradition, such as Hilaire Belloc, George Bernanos, Frederick Willhelmsen and Jean Leclereq -- Randolph Severson develops a view of the highest in humanity. An archetypal psychology of what we can become: the human soul as act of Honor, and the archetypal patterns within which such qualities can be found -- exemplified by the Roman tradition of "Humanitas" -- ancient, and ever new. You will find in this book what you have always hoped psychology would address -- responsibleness with soul, stewardship, sacrifice, reverence, service, a sacramental view of reality, the deepest sense of family, nobility, mystery, dignity -- the martial qualities needed to live these ideals as realities, and the strategies to achieve them. A most remarkable writing, written in the deep Catholic tradition of rhetorical flourish, filled with stories of compassion and the action of love. There has never been a psychology like this!

A memoir about life (and near–death) with a genetic heart condition. This book is composed of many voices: physical and metaphysical; medical and mystical. It’s a love story, a heroine’s journey and a medical drama that explores the fragility and resilience of the human heart. The journey portrayed reconciles the author’s family heritage of natural healing and the conflict that arises between a holistic and spiritual orientation with western technology. This literary non-fiction narrative weaves between personal and mythic realms, depicting a mother’s love for her children at risk and a woman’s love for a man who stands by her in the darkest hours. "Heart’s Oratorio" provides examples of the miraculous, offering hope to those dealing with chronic and life-threatening illness.
