Love and the World: A Guide to Conscious Soul Practice

by Robert Sardello

Drawing on images of the Grail legend and myths of Sophia―she who is called the Soul of the World―Sardello develops approaches to intelligence of the heart, the world significance of grieving, the transformative power of radical receptivity, re-enlivening the senses, the creative power of dreaming, and a new basis for relationships. Based on a synthesis of C.G. Jung’s writings on the nature of soul, James Hillman on the work of soul making, and Rudolf Steiner on the formation of a spiritual culture, Love and the World establishes a ground of hope for the new millennium, as well as a radically fresh direction for psychology―one concerned with what we can be, rather than what has influenced us from the past. Robert Sardello, author of Facing the World with Soul, offers an immensely human approach to the soul we share with one another and with the world. Love and the World is vital reading for anyone who wishes to explore the riches of spiritual psychology. This is an updated and revised edition of Love and the Soul.

On page 145 I came face to face with the answer as to why I have, of late, been insatiably devouring one book after another. Sardello speaks of people "becoming deeply engaged in all sorts of fields of knowledge, not as specialists, but as researchers of the heart", and that “books, knowledge, art, music, and architecture—all that exists in the world” are artifacts, the study of which can “be a significant way of awakening the forces of the heart”. I went through the same thing a while back on the subject of quantum physics,Einstein, Bohr,Heisenberg,etc., etc. But this recent course of reading started with Karen Armstrong's "The Case For God". Then came Adam Frank's "The Constant Fire". I found Robert Sardello in Joseph Chilton Pearce's "The Death of Spirit,Rebirth of Spirit".

Myths, symbolism and the significance of the strange, eternal, destructive force and the ecstasy: Love. Here, this amazing author explains archetypal psychologies, the mind, our given ancient memories, the faults of a modernized world in lack of truth and beauty, the denial of ourselves and why? For me, one of the most inspired books of our time.
