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.

In this guide to conscious soul practice, a psychotherapist reveals the importance of making one's life open and receptive to the spiritual realms.

Psychology, Robert Sardello argues, is more than the study of the human soul. It belongs to the realm of practice, am doing rather than a theorizing. If the therapist enters fully into this activity, the soul will awaken and lead to developing an embodied, conscious soul life.
