What guides us when our world is changing? Discover the path to deeper
meaning and purpose through depth psychology and classical thought.
How did we get to this crossroads in history? And will we make it
through--individually and as a species? "We all assumed that learning,
rationality, and good intentions would prove enough to bring us to the
promised land," says Dr. James Hollis. "But they haven't and won't. Yet
what we also do not recognize sufficiently is that this human animal is
equipped for survival. In time, as we have seen of life's other
insolubles, we grow large enough to contain what threatened to destroy
us."
Dr. Hollis's readers know him as a penetrating thinker who brings
profound insight and sophistication to the inner journey. In Living
Between Worlds, he broadens his lens to encompass the relationship
between our inner struggles and the rapidly shifting realities of modern
human existence. You will learn to invoke the tools of depth psychology,
classical literature, philosophy, dream work, and myth to gain access to
the resources that supported our ancestors through their darkest hours.
Through these paths of inner exploration, you will access your "locus of
knowing"--an inner wellspring of deep resilience beyond the ego, always
available to guide you back to the imperatives of your soul.
Though many of the challenges of our times are unique, the path through
for us, personally and collectively, will always rely on our measureless
capacity for creativity, wisdom, and connection to a reality larger than
ourselves. Here you will find no easy answers or pat reassurances. Yet
within the pages of Living Between Worlds, you will encounter causes
for hope. "We can find what supports us when nothing supports us,"
Hollis teaches. "By bearing the unbearable, we go through the desert to
arrive at a nurturing oasis we did not know was there."
