The Egyptian Book of Gates
The Egyptian Book of Gates is the second large Pharaonic Book of the Afterlife after The Egyptian Amduat. The revised English translation is based on the German edition, edited by Erik Hornung. The hieroglyphs and transcriptions are given on the basis of a collation of the extant texts found in different tombs. The main illustrations of the text come from the sarcophagus of Seti I. The 100 scenes of the Book of Gates are furthermore represented with one or more colored illustrations, originating from different sources. With an Introduction by Theodor Abt. Contains Bibliography and Index.
Introduction to Picture Interpretation
This is the long-awaited book by Theodor Abt, who has been training analysts internationally in the art of picture interpretation since 30 years. His long experience in this field has led him to develop his own method, resulting in this book. Some 150 colour pictures accompany the text, making this book a valuable resource to have on the bookshelf for consultation in the following areas: Formal aspects; The symbolism of space; The symbolism of colours; The symbolism of numbers.
Archetypal Dreams of Our Time
The lectures and articles presented here were written over a period of some twenty years. They form a part of my painstaking attempt to connect the problems facing humanity today with the pictorial, intuitive wisdom of the inner world of the psyche. My purpose is to illustrate in as comprehensive and plausible a manner as possible the significance of the inner world in dealing with collective issues. [...] The hypothesis I formulated in 1977 in the course of working on my Ph.D. thesis at the ETH in Zurich has been confirmed many times over: dreams that deal with some transpersonal problem contain essential information that would contribute to our better understanding of such collective problems. But, [...] these inner images, after having been given our meticulous attention and cautious interpretation, must then be incorporated into our everyday reality. Only when the hints from the symbolic world of dreams become linked with the clarity of consciousness do they turn into the water that bestows life. In view of the enormous problems of our time, we can no longer afford to lose these treasures by continuing to think and behave in a purely extraverted manner.
Dark Clouds Over Europe
Dreams provide us with insight into ourselves. For the dreamer, they bring up important issues that can balance out or complement any one-sidedness on the consciousness level. But they can also provide objective insights and give us orientation with regard to external people and things. If they also have collective components, so-called big or archetypal dreams can also be important for society as a whole. Such dreams reveal things in a person s collective unconscious psychic background that can be destructive, but can also bring cultural benefits. In this book, the author and psychotherapist interprets dreams collected between 1989 and 1992 from a wide range of people relating directly to t...
Hermes and His Children
Hermes and his Children has become something of a classic among therapists, poets, artists and readers of many callings. Rafael López-Pedraza approaches the soul through myth, pathology, image and the very living of them all. The love and passion of a man fully in his element radiates throughout this unique work, now updated and expanded for this edition.
The Enchantment of Gardens
Ancient wisdom tells us that gardens have a healing, nourishing effect on the human soul and body. The garden belongs to the great archetype of life and is one of the few big archetypal images that are experienced primarily as positive. This positive experience is significant because the garden is a part of the natural and cultural human environment, and thus, is particularly influential in the interaction between human beings and their environment.
Knowledge for the Afterlife
WHY THE AMDUAT IS SIGNIFICANT Every evening the sun becomes old and weak and finally sets behind the Western horizon. Yet, it rises again in the morning, rejuvenated. How is that possible? How could the sun for the Ancient Egyptians the Sungod become young and revitalized during the night, during his night journey? What happens during this time? The Amduat is a description of the journey of the Sungod through the nightworld, that is also the world of the deceased. The knowledge contained in the Amduat is meant for the dead Pharaoh. But the text also recommends this knowledge for living beings. Thus, the journey of the Sungod can also be seen as a symbolic representation of an inner psychic process of transformation and renewal.
The Sungod's Journey through the Netherworld
"The ancient Egyptian sources come alive, speaking to us without seeming alien to our modern ways of thinking. Andreas Schweizer invites us to join the nocturnal voyage of the solar barque and to immerse ourselves, with the 'Great Soul' of the sun, into the darkness surrounding us. Here in the illustrations and texts of the Amduat, threats hidden in the depths of our soul become visible as concrete images, an analysis of which remains ever worthwhile: even in the guise of the evil, ominous, or dark side of godhead with which Schweizer concerns himself. The netherworld into which we descend underlies our own world. Creative energies of dreadful intensity are active there, and only death, to w...
The Healing Imagination
This eloquent work speaks of the centrality of imagination in the life of the spirit. Ann and Barry Ulanov describe the imagination as a bridge between the psyche and the spirit. Using rich imagery drawn from literature, film, and their own experience as therapists, they unlock for us the healing power of our imagination. "Imagination heals by building a bridge sturdy enough to link us up, each of us, to the river of being already present in us, to the currents flowing through us and among us in our unconscious life." After describing this healing power of imagination, the authors go on to show how it is vital in the spiritual life: in preaching, prayer, teaching, counseling, and politics.
