In this book the author seeks to comprehend what possible meaning such a term as animal soul could have today given the psychological distance from our own animal nature, existing as we do within a technological civilization. He explores the thought of four pioneers in depth psychology: C. G. Jung, James Hillman, Wolfgang Giegerich, and Russell Lockhart, before proposing a meaning that emerges from soul as understood from within a depth psychological perspective.

Making of a Man

Initiation Through the Divine Mother

By: John C. Woodcock Ph D

In 1982 I was travelling in a suburban train between Boston and New York. I suddenly felt a stirring at the base of my spine and a trickle quickly turned into a rush of energy moving upward. Another will seemed to be working within me and I felt a mandate to shift my posture. Feeling awkward and embarrassed I assumed a lotus posture in the public carriage and waited for the next event. A flood of blissful fluid rushed up my spine emerging out of my heart. My journey with Kundalini had begun which would dominate and shape my life for the next twenty years. Making of a Man is a personal disclosure. Dr. Woodcock tells for the first time those intensely intimate experiences with Kundalini (the divine mother) that both deconstructed his personality and transformed it. The content of the book may look like poetry but in fact is the residue of a poesis, a making. These word forms are virtually unedited since the time he wrote them down during a long period of ecstatic vision. This book is thus the record of an intense sustained spiritual process during which Dr. Woodcock reached a region of reality where he experienced the love, power and wisdom of the creative word. What was spoken thus became so! A man was transformed and an aspect of spirit incarnated.

Making New Worlds

The Way of the Artist

By: John C. Woodcock

Imagining this or that future as a way of generating hope and "hopeful action", far from moving us towards any desired outcome, is simply occluding our eyes from the reality that is right in front of us, daily. Our time is incredibly uncertain and our lives are dominated by catastrophic thinking, with fear more and more determining out real actions and outcomes, on the local or world scale. If we finally drop all pretense that hope can have any bearing on the future, we must then face the level of fear running freely through world affairs today and equally we must face the fact that predictability is impossible in regards to the future. Under these circumstances we can ask: is there any adequate way of addressing the future at all: a way that does not blind us to the fearful realities of our times; a way that does not address the unknown future in terms of predictability or hope; a way that nonetheless may indeed help prepare the unknown future? There is, and I will call it the way of the "artist". From the Introduction

Transformation of the World

By: John C Woodcock Ph D

Transformation of the World is an account of the author's journey through a personal psychological crisis to the discovery of a new world forming out of the future within his psyche. This new world is one born from chaos through the power of love . The reader is taken into the experiences of the author through a form of literature that may not have a name at this point in time. It is a form of writing that flowed spontaneously from the author's hand The process involves memories of a kind of dual consciousness, interweaving of past present and future, inner and outer reality, along with philosophical thoughts expressed in direct speech which came to the author quite spontaneously. All these elements are brought to life in the adventures of the purely literary figures, David and Master John while the narrator is John, the author. Each character leads a separate life but are they really separate? The reader will discover the truth at the very end (from the Preface). "I prepare you for a ride with this book. It begins swiftly, and doesn't let up" (from the Foreword by David Tresemer, Ph.D.)

Living in Uncertainty, Living with Spirit

By: John C. Woodcock

Our ancestors lived in a world saturated with spiritual significance. Unusual events occurring within the contingencies of life were easily comprehended in terms of spiritual reality (the work of the gods for example) and the future was generally pictured in terms of the after-life. People could thus feel a measure of security in their present circumstances and some certainty about their future. In contrast, our ordinary existence today seems bereft of any spiritual significance, generating insecurity in our lives and uncertainty in the face of what has now become an unknown future. In this series of essays, the author describes unusual events in his own life that he chose to follow, or act upon. In so doing, he slowly discovered that a certain kind of non-random event can be a hint of unknown futures seeking to unfold into existence. These essays together form the outline of an art form, or method for proceeding from personal insecurity and uncertainty towards comprehension of the spiritual significance lying within ordinary life.

Hearing Voices

The Reality and Wisdom of Figures of Speech

By: John C. Woodcock Ph. D.

A new reality is emerging into consciousness and catching more and more people up in its processes, particularly those who call themselves voice hearers. This reality: • is 'of the mind', yet objective, i.e. does not originate in the hearer's subjective mind; • is 'sensual', i.e. has a 'body'; • has its own consciousness, which is not reducible to the hearer's subjective consciousness. • is distinguishable from outer reality, but not spatially separate. This is an exceedingly difficult and complex formulation yet if we are to remain absolutely faithful to all aspects of voice hearers' experiences then we are forced to think the new reality in these terms. This hypothesis implies that voice hearers, far from being pathological, are harbingers of a 'new world' i.e. a new structure of consciousness and new forms of reality. Trauma may indeed have opened hearers up to the new reality but this reality is not reducible to such traumas. The three voices that Dr. Woodcock 'heard' as he sat at his desk in 2005 belong to, or are a property of this new reality. Once he tuned into what they were each saying, he could begin to record a 'conversation' emerging from within his mind. This conversation turned to his surprise to the very question of the new emergent reality." (from the preface) This book thus introduces the reader to the author's hypothesis of a new reality as the origin of 'inner voices' or 'figures of speech'. The author's 'inner voices' then lead the reader into this new reality via the author's own experiences. Finally, an essay is included that explores the new reality from a more theoretical perspective. John C. Woodcock Ph.D. is also the author of THE COMING GUEST and THE IMPERATIVE
