Inner Knowing: Consciousness, Creativity, Insight, and Intuition (New Consciousness Reader)
Although opinion polls indicate that most Americans believe in the power of intuition, dreams, and precognition to offer valid guidance and information, "we have not yet developed an educational context for developing these abilities," according to author and editor Helen Palmer. By assembling this stunning collection of essays from leading authorities on perception, creativity, and intuition, Palmer hoped to offer a classic resource for anyone who wants to commit to developing his or her mental and spiritual powers. Contributors include Bruno Bettelheim, who speaks about fairytales and their ability to enhance the link between imagination and inner knowing; Carl Jung, who writes of theI Ching's ability to chart ancient avenues of wisdom; and an interview with Isabel Allende, in which she recounts the prophetic powers of storytelling.--Gail Hudson
