eLetter Archives Welcome to the Archives of the School of Spiritual Psychology eLetter. When the School first introduced it's gentle presence to cyberspace, we did not fully know how it would be received. The results have far surpassed our expectations. The subscription list for our monthly "eLetter" has grown steadily since the first week we announced it. As new subscribers have joined, we've begun to have requests for copies of past eLetters. To better serve these requests, we are pleased to provide these archives to the students of Spiritual Psychology. The Archives below are in reverse order - with the most recent listed first.

| The Resonant Soul: Gaston Bachelard and the Magical Surface of Air [Full Presentation - PDF File] | ||
| Since The publication of our most recent eLetter (containing Part II of "The Resonant Soul"), we've had a number of requests to re-send Part I. Many of our readers desired to work through the entire article as a whole. While both Parts may be viewed by clicking the two links immediately below, we've also provided the entire article here as a PDF file, to make it convenient to download and print. (Right-click the above link, and choose "Save Target As" if you wish to download it). | ||
| The Resonant Soul: Gaston Bachelard and the Magical Surface of Air [PART II] | ||
| In November 2002, The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture sponsored a conference titled "Matter, Dream, and Thought: A Symposium of the works of Gaston Bachelard." This eLetter contains Part II of Robert Sardello's contribution to that Symposium, a paper titled "The Resonant Soul: Gaston Bachelard and the Magical Surface of Air." | ||
| The Resonant Soul: Gaston Bachelard and the Magical Surface of Air [PART I] | ||
| In November 2002, The Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture sponsored a conference titled "Matter, Dream, and Thought: A Symposium of the works of Gaston Bachelard."

| Beyond Finite Consciousness: A Personal Account | ||
| This eletter contains an extraordinary story of a near-death experience. A participant in our Sacred Service program sent me this account. I immediately contacted Ann Graber and asked if we could post her story as the end-of-year eletter, as it is so filled with hope. | ||
| Organizing a School of Spiritual Psychology Workshop | ||
| Nearly every week we get requests asking if the School of Spiritual Psychology is doing a course in their region. The School goes to places where a group of people become interested in the work of Spiritual Psychology and come to a point where they want to organize a workshop. We thought it might be helpful to send out the following notes for those interested in arranging a workshop. | ||
| The Double | ||
| Some time ago we received a letter from an individual, Roger Hall, who we did not know at that time. He wrote to say that he had read Robert's book, "Freeing the Soul from Fear", and one chapter in particular had moved him. He went on to say that a kind of waking dream resulted from reading that chapter and that he was sending the conversation that was the content of that dream. There is the unmistakable quality of authenticity to this imaginal conversation. | ||
| Love in the Age of the Consciousness Soul | ||
| This month's eletter is Robert Sardello's introduction to the remarkable book "Conversations Amoureuse" -- Conversations about Love -- by Jacaques Lusseyran. This book may well be one of the most significant writings on love of our time. | ||
| Archtypal Medicine: Introduction | ||
| Archtypal Medicine was written by Alfred J. Ziegler. The Introduction to the work was written by Robert Sardello, and is published as this month's edition of the School of Spiritual Psychology's eLetter. | ||
| Heart Pain and Spiritual Longing | ||
| "This month's eletter is an imagination of the heart as the spiritual organ of the body. If we are to find the way out of the kind of spectator consciousness that makes everything, including persons into things and commodities and open again the space of engagement and mystery, we have to find the way into the heart. In our time we live a split imagination of the heart. " | ||
| The Virtue of Love | ||
| "Love is a vast topic and a vast experience, encompassing the whole of the aim and purpose of humanity. A consideration of love as a virtue takes one small, but as I hope to show, tremendously significant aspect of love and develops the practical means for concentrating that aspect and making it fully conscious." | ||
| Some Notes on Forgiveness as an Act of Love | ||
| "Forgiveness as an act of love is felt, not achieved. It can be given, but it cannot be bestowed as an act of triumph over another person, which would be to humiliate the other person. A definition: Forgiveness is the means to release yourself and others from an experience of hurt, injury, wounding, suffering, humiliation or pain that has already passed." | ||
| ||
| Fear and Doubling | ||
| "In working with how fear functions in the world, one of the great questions is why we do not feel more fear and feel it all the time. Indeed, if we did feel the presence of fear in the world we would immediately work toward more spiritual ways of being. We would see that soul and spirit are being excluded from the world." | ||
| Excerpts from School of Spiritual Psychology Classes | ||
| Spiritual Psychology as a Grail Psychology; Technologies of Imagination; Spiritual Psychology of the Broken Heart; The Spiritual Psychology of Service; The Spiritual Psychology of Work; The Spiritual Psychology of the Gospel of St. John | ||
| The Spiritual Psychology of the Gospel of St. John: Reflection on the Prologue to the Gospel | ||
| "The viewpoint we will be taking toward the Gospel of St. John is quite simple and direct. The Gospel proves to be a treasure-house of soul and spiritual insight. We are guided by the very first words of the Gospel: "IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD." This is the utterance we want to investigate from the viewpoint of spiritual psychology. What is this WORD, what is the LOGOS?" | ||
