All human relationships are containers of emotional life, but what are the structures underlying them? Nathan Schwartz-Salant looks at all kinds of relationships through an analyst's eye. By analogy with the ancient system of alchemy he shows how states of mind that can undermine our relationships - in marriage, in creative work, in the workplace - can become transformative when brought to consciousness. It is only by learning how to access the interactive field of our relationships that we can enter this transformative process and explore its mysterious potential for self-realization.

sublteties of being human,
By
This review is from: The Mystery of Human Relationship: Alchemy and the Transformation of the Self (Paperback)
A beautiful exploration of the subtleties and nuances of being human, which adds to the deep and rich experience of becoming. This work contributes to the further understanding of symbolism in the worldly spiritual and emotional journey and the sensitive path towards union and integration of opposites - otherwise known as alchemy, or creating gold!

A diificult read, but worth the effort,
By
This review is from: The Mystery of Human Relationship: Alchemy and the Transformation of the Self (Paperback)
This book was recommended by a spiritual teacher of mine to gain a deeper understanding of Jung's archetypes and the hidden meanings in alchemy regarding depth psychology. It is not a easy read, very dense, but stick with it if you're interested in these subjects.

Depth - Not Hype,
This review is from: The Mystery of Human Relationship: Alchemy and the Transformation of the Self (Paperback)
New Agers beware...you can no longer say that the nature of the Psyche can not be explained. Take the time and the struggle to read this book, it will be worth all the effort. I have been studing alchemy for years and Schwartz-Salant brillantly helped clear up most of the muddy areas. There is much knowledge and wisdom in this book and as there is no way to enlighten someone in the space of this review - read it and see for yourself. This is for anyone who has dappled in Magic, is a therapist, studied Jung's works on Alchemy, or thinks they "know" what the astral realms are or if one does, wants to add the "science."
