Carl Jung: Wounded Healer of the Soul

7 reviews
Clare Dunne

Morning Light Press, 2000

Powerful visuals and
This is the Jung book to have at hand, whether one is a 'Jungian', a seeker after individuation, or an artist. Ms. Dunn has brought us the humanity of Dr. Carl Jung, bringing us into his life and making his work accessible. It is richly illustrated. I highly recommend this book to everyone.

At an age when most people would be thinking about retirement, Helen M. Luke embarked on two new careers, helping found the Apple Farm Community, a retreat and study center near Three Rivers, Michigan, and simultaneously making her debut as a writer, drawing on a lifetime of spiritual and psychological counseling. These essays, published over the past three decades, show the breadth of Luke's experiences as a Jungian psychologist, lecturer, and ...

The Way of Transformation: Daily Life as Spiritual Practice

1 review
Karlfried Graf Durckheim

Morning Light Press, 2006

Something for collectors
While this book is in many ways something of a spiritual classic, it might be a little arcane for the non-scholarly reader. Durkheim, as one of the first wave of European scholar-practitioners of the Eastern martial and meditative arts, certainly had a much more profound grasp of the subjects than would arise from mere study, and speaks from the heart. However his terminology and the ...

A New Approach to Love
I am the author of this book. Here are several reviews of the book listed on Amazon when the book had its former title. Under the new title, The Wisdom of Love, it is exactly the same book. Would it be possible to place these reviews under the present title? I filled in rating and title so that it could all be sent. Thank you, Jacob Needleman 1 of 1 people found the following review ...

And There Was Light: Autobiography of Jacques Lusseyran, Blind Hero of the French Resistance

22 reviews
Jacques Lusseyran

Morning Light Press, 1998

A classic
A classic study in overcoming adversity and finding hope in hopeless situations. If it were a work of fiction, we would doubt the author's credebility - but this is not fiction, this is the real life of an ordinary individual made extraordinary by the light of his saviour. It is an inspirational book and adventure action novel all in one. Rarely do we find a hero so authentic and humble as ...

Rumi's Sun: The Teachings of Shams of Tabriz

1 review
Shams of Tabriz

Morning Light Press, 2008

Sufism Debugged
Shams does not mince words. He is also an excellent teacher of exegesis (in his own special way). If he doesn't manage to get under your skin and push off the mask, then it is not for you. My softcover copy has survived a close encounter with a hard surface. Pay special attention then to who is his Master, after you make up. And note that there is a program for your instruction, should you ...

The Inner Journey: Views from the Gurdjieff Work (PARABOLA Anthology Series)

1 review
G. I. Gurdjieff

Morning Light Press, 2008

Gurdjieff and Parabola
I'm very pleased with this book which is an anthology of articles and interviews on the subject of G.I. Gurdjieff and his spiritual system, all taken from past issues of Parabola: the Magazine of Myth and Tradition. What makes it especially good value is the inclusion of a DVD of "Meetings with Remarkable Men", the film of Gurdjieff's early years directed by Peter Brook and Jeanne de Saltzman. ...

Say Nothing: Poems of Jalal al-Din Rumi in Persian and English
Jelalludin Rumi

Morning Light Press, 2008

Translations of Rumi?s poetry have been enthusiastically received by the English-speaking world. He speaks directly to the heart, allowing readers to feel that they know him intimately. And yet, the full flavor of his lightness and humor, his wordplay, and his Islamic references has often gone untranslated. Rumi?s poetry is direct and immediate, but it?s also measured, subtle, and nuanced in a way that earlier translations have seldom conveyed. ...

Rumi and the Whirling Dervishes

2 reviews
Shems Friedlander

Morning Light Press, 2003

Title says all
There is no shortage of books on Rumi and his poetry. I highly recommend books written by Prof. Annemarie Schimmel on Rumi and his great mystical poetry which is deeply rooted in Islamic mystical tradition. Friedlander deserves special thanks on making accessible to the reader the day-to-day life of Mevlevi dervishes. Photographs of Whirling dervishes are very appealing and appropriately ...

To Live Within

2 reviews
Sri Anirvan, Lizelle Reymond

Morning Light Press, 2007

Insights on awakening
Lizelle Reymond spent five years in a hermitage in northern India. "To Live within" can be described as a system of ideas that have the energy to penetrate through self-deceptions of intellect and through what we take to be "ordinary" life (the illusion...maya...a matrix...a dream) to realize the Real -- a matter of Perception; of Consciousness. Reymond writes of struggles, insights, lessons ...

Helen M. Luke

Morning Light Press, 2000

The Story of a Life Well Lived
Recently in an interview with Charlie Rose Meryl Streep spoke of women needing a dream that portrayed them as powerful, particularly as they age. Helen Luke's autobiography is just such a dream. It is a carefully woven tapestry of her dreams, her thoughts, her readings (the wide range of her reading & interests included Lord Of the Rings by Tolkien, Dante, T.S. Eliot, C.K. Williams,& Larry ...

The Spiritual Roots of Yoga: Royal Path to Freedom

Ravi Ravindra

Morning Light Press, 2006

I Love this book!!
If you have read or would like to read The Sutras of Pantanjali and the Bhagahad Gita this is a great companion book to pull the two philosophical books together..oh, and apply yoga to everyday life. I'd recommend reading the last chapter first, it was recommended to me and I am to really apply the "everyday yoga" to my life and my journaling. I highly recommend this boo.

1 review

Morning Light Press, 2007

A Pleasure to Read
When I first clicked on the preview button and noticed from the contents page that this book included works by Henry Corbin, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, and Gai Eaton I knew I had to purchase it immediately. Three of my favorite people all in one book what more could I ask for ? I wasn't disappointed when it arrived either. This book is a real gem. It contains a collection of past articles from ...

Heart without Measure: Gurdjieff Work with Madame de Salzmann

5 reviews
Ravi Ravindra

Morning Light Press, 2004

Woman #5
I found this book extremely refreshing but I can't help wondering if it is really only for those who do or have done similar practices [Taoist Alchemy, Prayer of the Heart, Gurdjieff's meditations and exercises for opening and harmonizing the 7 centers]. The entire book shows Madame DeSalzmann trying to raise the author from his back and forth states to a man no. 4 - that is someone who has ...

Conscience: The Search for Truth

1 review
P. D. Ouspensky

Morning Light Press, 2008

for Work students this book is a near must-have
If you already have Ouspensky's main work books this book, Conscience, is still worth acquiring. It covers the same subjects yet does it in a slightly different way. I actually found Conscience to be more helpful when I was first learning the work than some of the larger books. There are 5 chapters: 1. Memory (Memory, Self-Remembering, Recurrence) 2. Surface Personality (A Study of Imaginary ...
