Jean Houston Boeken

A brilliant transformation journey with Cosmic Keys and practices for activating your future human potential.

The Hero and the Goddess explores the transformational power of one of the world's greatest stories The Odyssey. This classic tale of adventures and exploits is the supreme metaphor in the Western mind for spiritual initiation. Jean Houston interprets each episode from the epic —including Odysseus's confrontation with the Cyclops, his temptation by the Sirens, his descent into the Underworld, and his ultimate reunion with the subtle and brilliant Penelope and explores with us the universal themes of wounding and betrayal, suffering and loss, terrifying triumph and the search for the Divine Beloved.The Odyssey's most important lesson is the recognition of the powerful union created by the Hero and the Goddess within each of us. Like Odysseus, we are all heroes confronting our own temptations and descent into the Underworld as we forge our destiny. Houston also believes that The Odyssey contains the power to help humanity reinvent itself through harnessing the potent force of the Divine Feminine— for it is through Odysseus's deep and committed relationship with the Goddess Athena that he is ushered to the climax of self-transformation.Through detailed exercises and dramatic enactments that can be done in groups or alone, The Hero and the Goddess guides us to our journey's end— renewed, reborn, and rededicated to the possibilities our lives offer.

Discover the powerful, unique skills and qualities of Dorothy, the Wizard, and the other archetypes of mind, heart, and courage that live within each of us. Houston offers new understanding of the human condition, the importance of myth, and the critical nature of our role and how we can participate in the creation of a better world. It's time to uncover your inner hero and become the essential human you were always meant to be.

This revised and updated edition of these classic mind training exercises extends the usefulness of the "games" into corporate, educational, therapeutic, and community settings. Illustrations.

The narrative highlights Jean Houston's influential role during the summer of 1996, when her collaboration with Hillary Clinton garnered national attention. Woodward's report details their connection, particularly during a Camp David retreat that featured various prominent figures. Following this event, Houston became a regular consultant for the White House, assisting Clinton notably with her bestselling book, "It Takes a Village." The account emphasizes the intersection of personal relationships and political influence.

Provides a comprehensive program of exercises to arouse neglected or abused physical, mental, and creative abilities, to improve visual and auditory perception and memory and to engage unused inner resources.

Popular misconceptions of psychic ability and ESP have often prevented these topics from being taken seriously, yet an abundance of scientific research shows that we have a tremendous capacity for developing these talents. In 1972, physicist Russell Targ, co-founded the Stanford Research Institute’s program to investigate the development of psychic abilities. In his ten years with this program, he came to understand that most people have the ability to describe events and locations that are blocked from ordinary perception. The term remote-viewing was coined for this ability. In this, his sixth book, Targ explores the scientific as well as the spiritual implications of remote viewing and offers detailed exercises to assist readers in cultivating their own psychic abilities.Russell offers several techniques and exercises to overcome all of this clatter and to develop remote-viewing skills. Remote-viewing offers a path of self-inquiry and self-realization and expands our limited awareness of the consciousness shared by all humans.

"[The author] points to how each of us can harness our existing day-to-day activities and consciousness to remake the world."--Dust jacket.

Heralded and championed by Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson, Jean Houston has served as an advisor to President and Hillary Rodham Clinton, and she worked closely with Mary Catherine Bateson in helping Hillary Clinton write It Takes a Village. Now comes her most accessible book yet, the companion to her PBS special.

How can 'ordinary' men and women learn to think, feel, and know in enhanced ways, become more creative, and aspire, within realistic limits, to multidimensional awareness? In this pioneering study of human development, philosopher, psychologist, and cultural historian Jean Houston invites readers to experience for themselves the five stages of cultural and individual evolution. This completely revised and updated edition contains information on the role of the early Goddess-worshipping cultures in the unfolding of historical stages. The book also gives directions for processes that individuals and groups can use to journey through the stages of human development. Included is a new Afterword by Dr. John Cody on the life and work of Gerald Heard, whose work inspired the human potential movement. The book points the way towards humanity's evolution into planetary consciousness - a time of balance between mind and body, masculine and feminine, society and individual - and new partnership with the whole Earth.

Jean Houston revitalizes the story of Christ by presenting to readers the possibility of 'being Christs.' Dr. Houston draws from philosophy, mythology, Jungian psychology, mysticism, anthropology, new science, and just plain creativity to present the familiar gospel stories in a new light. Focusing on experiencing the Christ life, exercises are presented which can be done individually or with a group, including creative arts, movement and dance, ritual and ceremony, drama and high play. Readers will experience the story of the Christ happening right now in the heart.

Klasický průvodce účinky LSD na lidskou psychiku. Dvojice světoznámých amerických výzkumníků prováděla rozsáhlý klinický výzkum s různými psychedeliky od poloviny 50. let až do jejich zákazu o deset let později. Jejich pionýrská studie Druhy psychedelické zkušenosti poprvé vyšla v roce 1966, tedy přesně v době, kdy byla uzákoněna první právní omezení ohledně užívání psychedelických látek, a rovněž patřila mezi oběti tohoto vyloučení. Proto se již nepodařilo dostatečně prozkoumat slibné výsledky jejich výzkumů. Tato kniha se vyhýbá divokým výstřelkům, tolik typickým pro oba póly běžného pohledu na toto téma. Je ojedinělá tím, jak osvětluje možnosti a omezení psychedelik, stejně jako na techniky práce s nimi a klíčovou roli kvalifikovaného průvodce touto zkušeností v celé její bohaté škále od čistě estetických smyslových vjemů přes sebeléčení starých traumat a psychologické vhledy až po hluboký náboženský zážitek. Kniha tak představuje střízlivé a směrodatné zhodnocení této dosud nejkontroverznější metody zkoumání lidské psychiky. V době, kdy se legalizace drog znovu stává stále důležitějším tématem, představuje vítaný a velice potřebný protiklad k dnešní hysterii, která tuto problematiku obklopuje. Doslov Jiří Horáček.
