A SPIRITUALITY FOR THE TWO HALVES OF LIFE

There is an ascending and a descending phase to one's spiritual journey, say these authors in a poetic and powerful three-day seminar. The first phase has limits that help us develop a "container" for the immoral self. The latter phase is a descent into the mystical world of union with God and love of one's fellow man. In this second phase we follow God's plan with devotion to our calling instead of with our first-phase narcissistic concerns. Paula D'Arcy is an emotionally centered voice of lyrical wisdom, compared to Richard Rohr, who is a rowdy but persuasive intellectual. Stellar editing of these insights and stories makes this a compact and essential learning audio for spiritual seekers. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 04/ JAN 05]
