NOW AVAILABLE! Mathew Byrne THE ANGEL ESSAYS ". . .Not long ago, walking in the park, where I am accustomed to having long talks with inner voices, I saw the image of a book floating in the air above my head, and I heard a voice say “would you like to know what this is?”When I replied that I would, the voice said “it is a book we have given you if you wish to write it. It will consist of essays from the angelic order on various subjects of human importance. It will be dictated to you if you allow it. You will merely be the typist . . . . "So begins this fascinating work, in which the Angels speak on a variety of subjects of interest to any serious spiritual seeker. From Love, Joy, and Suffering to Technology, Science, Art and even War, these angelic voices help, ever so gently, to provide a new context for the world events that are now unfolding so urgently around us. In short, they offer a blue print for coming events and a means for negotiating troubled times with integrity and an esoteric but eminently practical wisdom. |

Facing the World With Soul: The Reimagination of Modern Life Beginning with the myth of Sophia, the Soul of the World, Sardello evokes a sense of the world as filled with her presence. He goes on to suggest that the soul’s primary parts—its arts of concentration, meditation, imagination, contemplation—rather than belonging to individual consciousness, constitute a giving over of subjective, personal states to the consciousness that is the soul of the world. He shows how, practicing these arts, we can begin to approach daily life in a new way. The chapters that follow build up a psychology of the world—of architecture, money, the city, medicine, food and technology. |

Freeing the Soul From Fear Robert Sardello is considered a leading philosopher on the soul, having inspired both Thomas Moore's and James Hillman's writings. Once again he departs from common spiritual assumptions in this intelligent and smoothly written handbook, Freeing the Soul from Fear. One of the more popular attitudes toward the soul is that it's a permanent element of the human being, Sardello explains. As a result, current spiritual guidance often discusses how to reconnect with our impermeable souls through meditation, honoring suffering, and returning to a sense of enchantment.As important as this reconnection is, Sardello believes that it does not go far enough. Rather, we should recognize the soul as a vulnerable entity and commit to strengthening its core. And what weakens a soul the most? Fear. Fundamentally, it contracts the soul's ability to love. And above all else, love comes from the soul--"an experience through which another person, or a spiritual being, or God lives within us," Sardello explains. Chapter by chapter, Sardello examines how perennial fears (such as money, relationships, and death) as well as contemporary fears (Y2K, terrorism, and time collapse) affect the soul. He then offers concrete suggestions for overcoming soul-debilitating fears through love and imagination |

Love and the World: A Guide to Conscious Soul Practice 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. It is not possible to make such a study without the student undergoing inner changes in the process. Psychology, since it is we who study it, necessarily requires that the psyche be utilized to study the psyche. It therefore belongs inherently 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 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." -Robert Sardello, from the Introduction |
