PSYCHE'S YEARNING: Radical Perspectives on Self Transformation By Gillian Ross Humankind is being called to bring forth a new level of consciousness, a new story around what it means to be human . Gillian Ross has written a rich, evocative book about the journey towards liberation. She emerges from the lived depth of her own sacred autobiography cooked in the knowing of her heart and guided by the great books as read and understood by her wise eyes. It is both the story of us all and the story of your sacred autobiography. Read it and be inspired to realize the infinite joy, obligation and depth of your Unique Self. Dr. Marc Gafni, best selling author, rabbi and teacher of Kabbalah and World Spirituality. Besieged by the messages of consumerism, disillusioned with traditional religion, and faced with the possibility of planetary disaster, our souls are more than ever yearning for purpose and a sense of wholeness and holiness in a fragmented secular world. Weaving her text around the symbolic wisdom of the ancient Greek myth of Psyche and Eros, author Gillian Ross offers personally inspired guidance and inspiration on ways of transcending the pain and limitations of our alienated ego. She invites us to step into the transpersonal domain of the mystic and embrace our identity as a unique expression of a Transcendent Evolutionary Impulse. The Introduction, sets the stage for this with a quotation from the popular Buddhist teacher Sogyal Rinpoche; the aim of life is to embody the Transcendent. It could be said that the rest of the book explores what that means and how it can be achieved. Beginning with her own journey of transformation, including recovery from alcohol abuse, Gillian powerfully conveys the message that an awakened consciousness is no longer the prerogative of the saint or the shaman but a birthright we must all claim if we are to find the collective will to serve the earth community and its myriad life forms with wisdom, compassion and joy. Psyche's Yearning is an inspirational contribution to the growing recognition of the power of meditation as a source of health and wellbeing. Dr Samuel Sagan, founder of the Clairvision School of Meditation. She is the author of several successful relaxation, meditation and yoga CDs and two books on spiritual evolution, The Search for the Pearl and Is There Life Before Death? Gillian migrated to Australia in the sixties. She lives on a 40 acre property of great natural beauty in Northern New South Wales which she is nurturing as a place for spiritual retreats and as an educational Centre for Conscious Evolution. Psyche's Yearning can be bought through on-line outlets such as Amazon Books but can also be purchased directly from Gillian for $20 inclusive of postage anywhere in Australia.

The Eros and Psyche myth has, over the course of the twentieth century, received nearly as much attention from depth psychologists as has the Oedipus story. In their attempt to better understand this popular story, scholars have proposed various interpretations, which have generally followed eithether Freudian or Jungian theories about the nature of the psyche and its development. This elaborate work provides serious students of psychology, religion and mythology with a detailed account and analysis of what has been accomplished in the spychological interpretation of the Eros and Psyche myth to date. It emphasizes how psychological theory determines the direction of interpretation much more than does the literary context of the myth itself. It also examines the strengths and weaknesses of these psychological interpretations (five Freudian and six Jungian) of the Eros and Psyche myth in order to lay the groundwork for an interpretation which (1) avoids the rigidity of both Freudian and Jungian dogma and (2) restores the myth to its rightful literary and religious context — something which has been ignored by most psychological interpretations.

In this, the first modern study of the ancient fairytale, Graham Anderson asks whether the familiar children's fairytale of today existed in the ancient world. He examines texts from the classical period and finds many stories which resemble those we know today, including: * a Jewish Egyptian Cinderella * a Snow White whose enemy is the goddess Artemis * a Pied Piper at Troy. He puts forward many previously unsuspected candidates as classical variants of the modern fairytale and argues that the degree of violence and cruelty in the ancient tales means they must have been meant for adults.
