Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
"There's no escaping it: without a healthy psyche, we create a bogus spirituality," writes Jacqueline Small in Psyche's Seeds. She feels passionately about recognizing the influences of human nature when it comes to spiritual growth. "Both must be honored for us to be healthy and whole." The mythical love story of Psyche and Eros offers the ongoing metaphor for blending the psychological and spiritual principles. (The story is about a human girl who marries a Greek god and teaches him how to love.) For the most part, Small sustains the mythological metaphor throughout the book without making it seem overly contrived. (Probably because we know "psyche" is the root of psychology, thus lending the metaphor more credibility.) Although the melding of psyche and spirit is not an original idea (think Carl Jung, M. Scott Peck), Small offers some inspired discussions, exercises, and opportunities for reflection. Her most accessible and advice-laden section is "How to Use Psyche's Seeds," which offers lessons such as: "Victimhood is a false concept that makes you powerless"; "Sacrifice is not giving up, but taking on"; and "As you cultivate your own natures, all around you begins to grow." --Gail Hudson
Book Description
The author of Awakening in Time uses the archetypal myth of Psyche and Eros to show readers how to combine their psychological and spiritual searches.
Just as the mythical Psyche had to learn a new set of life principles to free herself from the jealousies of Aphrodite and win the love of the goddess's son Eros, so do we need to use Psyche's lessons to combine the forces of our psyche and soul. In Jacquelyn Small's Psyche's Seeds, these twelve sacred principles include:
- What you say "I Am" to has a way of claiming you.
- There can be no outer experts on a path of Self-Knowledge: the learning comes from within.
- Your symptoms of distress are not pathological; they are the pangs of birthing a new consciousness.
¥ Sacrifice is not giving up, but taking on.
The book's "Twelve Seed Thoughts for the Journey" and "Psyche's Four Tasks" give readers immensely practical personal exercises for creating a soul-based psychology. Jacquelyn Small shows how it is only when we learn to combine soul and psychology that we find the true path to a higher purpose and a better sense of self. Index.
