The Great Within
A book for anyone who wants to understand the psychological nature of contemplative practice as a transformative process. Renowned psychologist Han de Wit explores the psychology found in age-old contemplative traditions and takes us deep into the mind of the spiritual practitioner. Using Buddhism as a framework, and drawing insights from several world religions, he demonstrates how contemplative practices can open us up to our own wisdom and compassion. The result is a vivid illumination of the process of spiritual transformation and an important contribution to contemporary psychology and psychotherapy.
The Spiritual Path
The Spiritual Path focuses on themes important for those dealing with fundamental life questions in their own lives, or in their professions as spiritual caregivers, psychologists or psychotherapists. Using an interreligious approach, Han de Wit offers psychological insights from the world's spiritual traditions to show how spiritual practices serve to cultivate our fundamental humanity. De Wit asks essential questions concerning that "fundamental humanity": Why is it that some people experience and radiate an increasing measure of joy in their lives, while others become increasingly anxious and fearful? And why do some people become wiser and more compassionate as a result of their experien...

Journey Into Depth
"Journey into Depth is about the experience of initiation as it plays itself out in two domains - the monastic and the training to become a Jungian psychoanalyst. The very disparateness of these fields, from an external point of view, highlights the deeper level of similarity in their initiatory experiences. A few major anthropological guidelines concerning initiation provide a framework of reflection as to what is really going on when a person passes through this kind of adult "rite of passage." Conclusions as to the human importance of such experiences follow with special emphasis on their spiritual consequences in terms of growth."--BOOK JACKET
Wijsheid in emotie
Het boek is toegankelijk geschreven en bevat praktische oefeningen die de lezer kunnen helpen bij het verkennen van hun eigen emoties. Emoties geven kleur aan ons leven. Ze zijn de energie van onze geest. Die energie wordt gedreven door ons verlangen naar geluk, het verlangen iets van ons leven te maken. Dat verlangen vormt het kloppend hart van ons mens-zijn en komt tot uitdrukking in emoties als levensvreugde, compassie, vriendelijkheid, toewijding, ontroering. Maar als dat verlangen in het keurslijf van eigenbelang en egocentrisme wordt geperst, dan nemen emoties andere vormen aan, zoals afgunst, hebzucht, agressie, haat, wrok. Daar lijden we onder. We kunnen deze emoties proberen te bestrijden of te ontkennen. Maar dat is olie op het vuur, een verloren strijd. Wat is het alternatief? In het boeddhisme vinden we een intrigerend antwoord: al zijn sommige emoties nog zo destructief en pijnlijk, ook dan ligt er wijsheid in verborgen. Als we contact maken met deze wijsheid, bevrijden we zulke emoties uit hun egocentrische vervorming. Hoe daarmee ervaring op te doen is het thema van Wijsheid in emotie.
