The Pathwork of Self-Transformation

For more than twenty years, noted therapist Eva Pierrakos was the channel for a spirit entity known only as the Guide. Combining rare psychological depth and insight with an inspiring vision of human possibility, the Guide's teachings, known as the Pathwork, have influenced many New Age thinkers. Now the core teachings of the Guide have been collected in one volume synthesizing its essential wisdom.

Under such headings as "The Idealized Self-Image," "The Forces of Love, Eros, and Sex," "Emotional Growth and Its Function," "Real and False Needs," and the "The Spiritual Meaning of Crisis," the Pathwork outlines the entire process of personal spiritual development. Unlike many overidealized philosophies, the Pathwork confronts our devils as well as our angels, our all-too-human failings and petty ego concerns as well as our divine strengths. It shows us how to accept ourselves fully as we are now, and then to move beyond the negativity, or "lower self," that blocks our personal and spiritual evolution. It offers a practical, rational, and honest way to reach our deepest creative identity.
