Solar Light, Lunar Light:

Perspectives in Human Conciousness

by Howard Teich

“This is a significant, life changing book. Howard Teich’s work is crucial to understanding and healing the damage our rigid ideas of gender have done to us all, women and men alike.This is a book that can change how you see every problem you encounter and point you toward deeper more creative responses. Here is a psychology that has the potential of restoring us all and our world to wholeness.”

—Susan Griffin, author of A Chorus of Stones and Woman and Nature

“The perception that masculine and feminine traits represent oppositional forces has contributed to a long history of personal and cultural dysfunctions.Through a skillful interweaving of modern psychology, mythology and ancient history, Howard Teich offers a thought provoking thesis that these polarizing traits are actually cooperative partners in evolution’s dynamic dance. Solar Light, Lunar Light is a healing journey that encourages readers to transcend misperceived limitations so that we may write a new empowering chapter in human evolution.”

—Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., Cell biologist and bestselling author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles

Accessing your Creative Spirit

The Creative Soul: Art and the Quest for Wholeness
by Lawrence H. Staples.

Who we most deeply are is mirrored in our artistic work. Our need for mirroring simultaneously attracts us to and repels us from our creative callings and relationships. It is one of life's great dilemmas.

Artist's block and lover's block flow from the same pool. Often, we fear deeply the very thing needed to create original art, to experience intimate relationships and to live authentic lives: we are frightened by the impulse to be fully revealed to ourselves, and to others, as this most often entails exposing the unacceptable shadowy aspects of our humanity and risking rejection.

Mirrors in all their manifold guises permit us to safely see and experience ourselves in reflection and become better acquainted with the rejected, ostracized aspects of our personalities. Creative work is one of the few places where we can truly express and witness lost aspects of our authentic selves.

Within us a treasure beckons. This is what we spend our lives pursuing. What slows and distracts us is not the object we long for, but where we search. To find this precious gem, we must eventually return to our own creative spirits.
