Book excerpt: PSYCHE'S YEARNING: Radical Perspectives on Self Transformation By Gillian Ross Humankind is being called to bring forth a new level of consciousness, a new story around what it means to be human . Gillian Ross has written a rich, evocative book about the journey towards liberation. She emerges from the lived depth of her own sacred autobiography cooked in the knowing of her heart and guided by the great books as read and understood by her wise eyes. It is both the story of us all and the story of your sacred autobiography. Read it and be inspired to realize the infinite joy, obligation and depth of your Unique Self. Dr. Marc Gafni, best selling author, rabbi and teacher of Kabbalah and World Spirituality. Besieged by the messages of consumerism, disillusioned with traditional religion, and faced with the possibility of planetary disaster, our souls are more than ever yearning for purpose and a sense of wholeness and holiness in a fragmented secular world. Weaving her text around the symbolic wisdom of the ancient Greek myth of Psyche and Eros, author Gillian Ross offers personally inspired guidance and inspiration on ways of transcending the pain and limitations of our alienated ego. She invites us to step into the transpersonal domain of the mystic and embrace our identity as a unique expression of a Transcendent Evolutionary Impulse. The Introduction, sets the stage for this with a quotation from the popular Buddhist teacher Sogyal Rinpoche; the aim of life is to embody the Transcendent. It could be said that the rest of the book explores what that means and how it can be achieved. Beginning with her own journey of transformation, including recovery from alcohol abuse, Gillian powerfully conveys the message that an awakened consciousness is no longer the prerogative of the saint or the shaman but a birthright we must all claim if we are to find the collective will to serve the earth community and its myriad life forms with wisdom, compassion and joy. Psyche's Yearning is an inspirational contribution to the growing recognition of the power of meditation as a source of health and wellbeing. Dr Samuel Sagan, founder of the Clairvision School of Meditation. She is the author of several successful relaxation, meditation and yoga CDs and two books on spiritual evolution, The Search for the Pearl and Is There Life Before Death? Gillian migrated to Australia in the sixties. She lives on a 40 acre property of great natural beauty in Northern New South Wales which she is nurturing as a place for spiritual retreats and as an educational Centre for Conscious Evolution.
