LOVE AND THE SOUL: CREATING A FUTURE FOR EARTH (NEW & EXPANDED EDITION of 400 PAGES) Love and the Soul is an immensely significant work in the field of depth psychology. Sardello maintains that to truly speak objectively about soul and the world, we must enter into the creative processes which they are. It is in the creative process that we can find, through sensing the creating activity of our own 'I', the link between ourselves and the world.How refreshing to read a sophisticated work in the field of psychology that earns that distinction by leaving theories, abstractions and in-bred language systems at the door. Like any truly improvisational art, Sardello is not content to present a system of finished concepts that can be repeated and systemized, but rather, he enters the active images of experience and from there performs language which can deepen the readers own explorations and questions. This is reflected in the poetic style which imbues each sentence of this book. |

THE UNKNOWN HIERONYMUS BOSCH Introduction by Robert Sardello The Unknown Hieronymus Bosch teaches us how to look at paintings in an entirely new way. Not through the framework of art history, or through the notion of a 'school of painting', nor through the idea of a perhaps deranged genius, but rather through the eyes of the spirit, the look of the soul, and the visual embrace of love. Kurt Falk has written a book that holds the possibility of altogether altering how art is appreciated; it can become a meditative tableau through which we come into conscious relationship with the deepest and highest unknown aspects of ourselves, and come into contact with inner capacities usually available only to ardent spiritual seekers. |

A CHILD'S WAY This lovely little book helps restore the inherent forces of parenting, showing that presence to our children from the interior of heart-space is more effective than all child psychology has to offer.This mother-daughter author team restores courage, wisdom, humor, and intuition to all those intimately connected with children. The key is attention to the sense of rhythm in the life of the child and coming into harmony and resonance with the natural rhythms that most adults have lost touch with. In profoundly simple language, filled with wisdom, the book re-frames being with children as a spiritual path of awareness. The stories and pictures, from the mother and daughter, who is now a mother, give hope and courage for the future of our children. |

Robert Sardello SILENCE "Whatever Sardello touches breaks open with startling new meaning."--James Hillman, author of The Soul's Code and The Force of Character: 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 eruditon is always in evidence, never intrusive, for this is a work that is also an experience. It is the palpable entrance into Silence as it unfolds, offering each and every reader an intimation of it's secrets. . . .

Kristina Kaine
I CONNECTING: THE SOUL'S QUEST A radical and remarkable book, Kristina Kaine's I Connecting makes soul so perceptible and concrete that we are able to follow some basic steps to achieve clear inner soul presence. Then she provides a wonderful description of what individual spirit is like; the difference between soul and spirit and how we can be ever more available to and expressive of the holy and ineffable being that we call our "I". What James Hillman did for soul life and Thomas Moore did for an everyday religious sense, Kristina Kaine now does for spiritual experience. Solid, clear, writing, wholly practical - what you learn here can be brought to the office and practiced, or home to be with those you love in ways that recognize their true essence. An invaluable resource for strengthening living a rich and wondrous interior life - for the sake of others and the world.Kristina Kaine has always had a curiosity about what makes people tick. In her own human resources business she develops methods of assessing people on an inner level, so that compatible people could be referred to each other. For more than 25 years she also studied what others have to say about the human soul and spirit. |

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 |

The Power of Soul: Living the Twelve Virtues 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 deeply concerned with the future of humanity. His work into spiritual psychology is a force of love in the world. |

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 |
