--Jon Mills, PsyD, PhD, ABPP, author of Inventing God

“{A} treasure trove of sage wisdom, ideas, instructions, and suggestions offered by a teacher who has explored multiple paths in his search to become a total conscious human being. . . . a guide to the blossoming of a completed soul. Be advised however, that this is not just another self-help improvement book. It requires, as it should, lots of work – work that will pay off if you are willing to stay the course. In that regard I believe that this book would be a helpful adjunct to psychotherapy – a way to deepen one’s personal efforts within and between therapy sessions. It could also be a workbook for a group of like-minded individuals working together to support each other’s growth.

--Peter W. Demuth, PsyD, President of the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago, Jungian analyst and author of Monsters in Life and Literature
