The Spirituality Revolution

What is the spirituality revolution? The spiritual life is no longer a specialist concern, restricted to those who belong to religious traditions. It is now the concern of everyone, religious or secular, young or old, atheist or believer. This revolution, then, is a spontaneous movement in society, a significant new interest in the reality of spirit and its healing effects on life, health, community and well being. The Spirituality Revolution: The Emergence of Contemporary Spirituality recognizes that we have outgrown the ideals and values of previous times and reveals an image of the spiritual situation of our era. Recent discoveries in physics, biology, psychology and ecology have begun to restore status to previously discredited spiritual visions of reality, and this book illustrates the ways in which we might uncover a universal spiritual wisdom that could transform our splintered world. The book explores such topics as the current state of the Western experience of spirit, our need for spiritual guidance when we cannot turn to organized religion in its traditional forms, and the creative potentials of spirit in education, personal experience and contemporary philosophy.The Spirituality Revolution is a much-needed contribution to the field, and will be of great interest to analytical psychologists, counselors, educators and social workers, and to all those interested in spirituality and the future of religion.
