Many people living in industrialzed cultures lack a spiritual context for both living and dying.
The transformational possibilities inherent in suffering demand a context of meaning, a framework that creates sense and order out of chaos. In this challenging book transpersonal psychologist Kathleen Dowling Singh presents a coherent and profound framework for thinking about the spiritual aspects of dying which will resonate with many readers. In doing so it becomes an important addition to contemporary literature on death and dying. Like other transpersonal psychologists Singh believes that human consciousness rises out of and ultimately returns to a Ground Of Being which is greater than our ego. As death approaches the ego struggles against dissolution, but ultimately is transformed by the healing power of the Ground Of Being as the individual self prepares to return to its source.
