Of Light and Darkness: A Time for Balance

By Rodrigo Thomas

Book Overview

This book is about balance and wholeness, which begins within us -in the human psyche. It is sad and frustrating to witness such conflict and chaos in our world, only to realize that the lasting and meaningful answers are not found outside ourselves. Essentially, most people are seeking outer solutions to inner problems. This seems to work for a while, only to have those same problems return on the morrow. The answers lie within is not just a trite cliche, and if we are truly looking for significant, meaningful change, then we must become the change we seek. There is no quick fix; there are no easy solutions. This volume begins to explore what is meant by Depth Psychology -plumbing the depths of the psyche- and what that means for our lives. To live without meaning in our lives is to live a fragmented and empty existence. It is our contention that perfection is an illusion and happiness is ephemeral, and neither should become the goal in life. Can we afford not to explore every avenue in our ongoing quest to find balance and contentment? There is nothing sadder to watch than those who are outwardly successful, but inwardly so dissatisfied. They have everything it seems...but themselves. We are at a most critical time in history -at the turning point, or at the point of no return. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated. The Chinese symbol for crisis (wei ji) has concurrent meanings: the first is of course "crisis," and the second is "opportunity." "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
