Description: Originally prepared for a Pacifica Graduate Institute course on The Poetic Basis of Mind, these eight lectures stand on their own as a unique and cohesive treatment of many core concerns of the soul. As a unified whole, the lecture-essays focus upon dynamics internal to what the author (only now, years after their original composition) has come to call "the Sophianic Cross." That aegis includes not only psychology and art, but myth, religion, and philosophy as well, all pictured in relation to one another in the form of the cross-like configuration visible on this book's cover.
