SWAMI VIVEKANANDA AND C.G. JUNG IBD

Sinopse

Yoga in the West, as taught by Swami Vivekananda and C.G. Jung, is a spiritual path of vocation, practiced with an attitude of non-attachment to the ego. At the same time, the Self shines through in all of oneâÇÖs works, and one lives in the joy and peace of the higher man or woman within.The vocation of Yoga in the West urges forward the spiritualization of world culture. Each person has a special calling, which he or she must follow, and through which we each may find our own path to freedom.Man-making or woman-making, as Swami Vivekananda called it, means embracing oneâÇÖs Self-path, not serving a Master greater than what oneâÇÖs body and soul yearn for. Ultimately, it means listening to and living a meaningful, symbolic life while being true to oneâÇÖs dreams, visions, and directives from the inner Yogi - the Rishi Within.'We look forward to a collaboration with the Indian mind, knowing that the mystery of the psyche can be understood only when approached from opposite sides.' - C.G. Jung (1875-1961)'California is the place where Vedanta will grow.' - Swami Vivekananda á(1863-1902)Says the author, 'The year I began writing this manuscript marked the 150th anniversary of Swami VivekanandaâÇÖs birth. Vivekananda taught tirelessly that the worldâÇÖs religions are One. This Self-centric teaching of Oneness is why IâÇÖm remembering him in this book.'(About the Author)Steven Herrmann is a certified Jungian analyst, an analyst member of the C.G.
