Reclaiming the Inner Child
by Jeremiah Abrams
The child is the father of the man. — Wordsworth. The inner child, that vital but submerged part of the self that connects us to both the joy and sadness of our childhood, is a key to our achieving fullest expression as adults. “This child entity,” says our editor Jeremiah Abrams, “is the self we truly are and have always been, living within us in the here and now.” This volume, a collection of 37 wide-ranging articles, defines and gives concrete reality to the abstract image of the inner child, revealing it to be the unifying symbol of the self, a symbol that represents, according to Carl Jung, “the part of the human personality which wants to develop and become whole.”
The Art of Being
by Erich Fromm
How can we realize and actualize love, reason, and meaningful, productive work? Fromm here offers an Art of Well-Being, a way of living based on authentic self-awareness that comes only through honest self-analysis. He warns of the pitfalls of our attaining enlightenment without effort, or believing that life can be livedwithout pain. The tantalizing ‘spiritual smorgasbord’ offered by our consumer-oriented world, Fromm maintains, only feeds our illusions of ‘easy awareness’. Confronting the psycho-gurus who preach these shortcuts to enlightenment, Fromm offers another way to self-awareness through meditation.
