A Window Into Eternity: A Jungian Perspective on Marriage

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hill, Psy D. Robert D. / Hill, Robert D., Psy., PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, All things in the universe were originally created as pairs of opposites. Life is also created as pairs of opposites, that of male and female. While men and women are physically separate individuals, this is not the case of the inner spiritual being that is revealed as opposites of a single reality. This book explains how to unite the opposites of male and female so this inner spiritual reality can be experienced. Carl Jung gave exact definitions of the human soul and the nature of the inner spiritual reality that has nothing to do with any religious view. Jung defined religion as a numinous experience, or spiritual, and all organized religion as the codification of the original numinous experience. Marriage is a spiritual experience where the uniting of the opposites leads to the very throb of creation itself. The nature and source of life can only be realized through the combination of male and female and never as separate individuals. The uniting of the opposites provides us with A Window Into Eternity.

Together with the shorter recollections of James Edward's two sisters, Anna Lefroy and Caroline Austen, the Memoir remains the prime authority for her life and continues to inform all subsequent accounts.

They still remembered the shape of her bonnet and the tone of her voice, and their first-hand accounts bring her vividly before us. Their declared partiality also raises fascinating issues concerning biographical truth, and the terms in which all biography functions. This edition brings together for the first time these three memoirs, and also includes Jane's brother Henry Austen's "Biographical Notice" of and his less known "Memoir" of .

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vargas-Ramos, Carlos / Stevens-Arroyo, Anthony M., PUBLISHER: Praeger, " Blessing" La Pol?tica" The Latino Religious Experience and Political Engagement in the United States" presents a corrective challenge to the authoritative conclusion by the book "Voice and Equality: Civic Voluntarism in American Politics" that Latinos are less likely to become involved in politics because of the predominant Catholic beliefs of this demographic. Through comprehensive analysis of the political tendencies of Latinos and Latinas of faith, the findings in this work consistently counterpoint those conclusions from a variety of perspectives and methodologies. The research presented in the book comprises surveys that are national in scope--both of elites, and at the mass level--as well as localized in cities. The authors have also collected ethnographies that are localized in U.S. cities and transnational in nature. The result is both a broad view of Latino politics and religion, and detailed information that provides far more context that is possible in national-level quantitative studies.
