Drawing on images of the Grail legend and myths of Sophia—she who is called the Soul of the World—Sardello develops approaches to intelligence of the heart, the world significance of grieving, the transformative power of radical receptivity, re-enlivening the senses, the creative power of dreaming, and a new basis for relationships.
Based on a synthesis of C.G. Jung’s writings on the nature of soul, James Hillman on the work of soul making, and Rudolf Steiner on the formation of a spiritual culture, Love and the World establishes a ground of hope for the new millennium, as well as a radically fresh direction for psychology—one concerned with what we can be, rather than what has influenced us from the past.
Robert Sardello, author of Facing the World with Soul, offers an immensely human approach to the soul we share with one another and with the world. Love and the World is vital reading for anyone who wishes to explore the riches of spiritual psychology.
This is an updated and revised edition of Love and the Soul.
“Whatever Sardello touches breaks open with new meaning.” —James Hillman, author of The Soul’s Code and The Force of Character
“Robert Sardello is one of the most creative thinkers I know. He writes from a combination of breathtaking originality and heartfelt compassion.” —Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul and Dark Nights of the Soul
“An author of considerable integrity, warmth, and insight who is contributing very significantly to the emergence of a new, genuinely spiritual psychology in America.” —Lee Irwin, Ph.D., Religious Studies Chair, University of Charleston, and author of Awakening the Spirit, Visionary Worlds, and The Dream Seekers
