The Human LifeBook (aka The Human HandBook): A Lucid Guide To Conscious Living in The New Millennium

by James Harvey Stout, James Harvey Stout

By Michelle M. Nicolai, co-author of The Human Lifebook, who discovered J.H. Stout's collected writings in summer 1999: In his notes, James Harvey Stout had specifically suggested that his work be a platform for discussion and development of ideas for expansion, elaboration - to join with the work of others who may wish to enlarge the landscape of thought found here. The Human LifeBook presents one, all-encompassing "unified theory" as a practical guide to conscious living in the new millennium. A body of thought bringing together everyday life and spirituality, thereby enhancing human activities with consistent meaning and purpose, transforming them into a creative and evolving process by which to foster personal growth and develop a self defined and fulfilling world - materially, emotionally, mentally and spiritually - absent dogma. The concept of archetypal fields put forth in this book is the basis for one explanation of existence and serves as the underlying connection among the themes explored, from Attachment, Conscious Mind, Dreams... through Directed Imagination, Meditation, Midlife Transitions, Health ... to Human "Typology", Informed Intuition, Integration of Lucid Perception, Positive Thinking and Wholeness. Sadly, the voice with whom we would wish to maintain an ongoing dialogue is now silent. This too is emblematic of the ironies and challenges of human life.
