The Hermetic Marriage
The Hermetic Marriage is an authoritative and enlightening enquiry into a vital tenet of Hermetic Philosophy: the ever-present principle of Duality in the universe, and its importance both to alchemy and individual spiritual development. In human existence this principle manifests as sex, and more importantly, as the masculine and feminine attributes within each individual personality. Spiritual progress, in the symbolic language of Alchemy, requires a perfect 'Marriage' of these two opposite poles, and their integration into a single enlightened being.Manly P. Hall uses philosophy, fable, and fairy tales to explain the mystical language of this Hermetic Union, which each of us must undergo to achieve the perfect spiritual fusion of our male and female aspects. Once achieved, the door is then open to further spiritual progress.

The Luminous Vision
Mystical understanding transfigured Christianity in the Middle Ages and led to some of its most sublime prose and poetry. Originally published in 1982, this was the first book of its kind to bring together some of the medieval mystics and to relate the depths of their understanding to modern life and to world views. The author, a writer and broadcaster on modern mystics and on the mystical aspects of eastern religions, particularly Zen, has interpreted each of these very different medieval mystics afresh.
The Sacred Messenger - A Journey of Spiritual Awakening and Divine Connection
Spiritual and Religious
This book examines the essential connecting points that people typically encounter as they progress on their own particular spiritual journey. For some, that may include regular participation in a practiced religious tradition. For others, their experience may not include a strong religious identity. Regardless of perspective, the connecting points provide a way to experience contemplative living--an awareness of life that's fully awake, fully alive. This gift of grace can lead to a new way of engaging in life and growth in spiritual maturity. Rev. Thomas Santa, CSsR, writes from the perspective of being both spiritual and religious, having spent most of his life as a Roman Catholic priest, spiritual director, and retreat director. He currently serves as the president and publisher of Liguori Publications, priest director of the Scrupulous Anonymous newsletter, and director of the ManagingScrupulosity.com website.

Zur Psychopathologie des Alltagslebens - ?ber Vergessen, Versprechen, Vergreifen, Aberglaube und Irrtum
Das Buch Zur Psychopathologie des Alltagslebens geh繹rt bis in die Gegenwart zu einem Grundlagenwerk der Psychoanalyse. Freud f羹hrt in seiner Studie seine Theorie aus, wonach ein Gro?teil allt瓣glicher Fehlleistungen, wie das Versprechen, Vergessen, Verschreiben, Vergreifen, Verlegen von Gegenst瓣nden und anderen Fehlhandlungen und Irrt羹mern Ausdruck unbewusster Absichten ist. Es handelt sich also nur auf den ersten Blick um zuf瓣llige oder sinnlose Fehlleistungen bzw. Versehen, tats瓣chlich aber um sinnvolle Mechanismen des Unbewussten. Die Psychopathologie des Alltagslebens ist weniger eine Entdeckung Freuds als die Anwendung der Methode der Psychoanalyse auf ein bekanntes Ph瓣nomen. So konnte Freud unter anderem auf reichhaltiges Material in der Literatur zur羹ckgreifen. Beispielsweise will in Fontanes L'Adultera eine junge Frau ihrem Ehemann einen Ball zuwerfen, wirft ihn aber "versehentlich" einem danebenstehenden jungen Mann zu, den sie - noch unbewusst - erw瓣hlt hat und der sp瓣ter ihr Liebhaber wird. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) war ein 繹sterreichischer Neurologe, Tiefenpsychologe, Kulturtheoretiker und Religionskritiker. Als Begr羹nder der Psychoanalyse erlangte er weltweite Bekanntheit. Freud gilt als einer der einflussreichsten Denker des 20. Jahrhunderts; seine Theorien und Methoden werden bis heute viel diskutiert.
