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.

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.
