Product Description
The words of Sai Baba, "God equals man minus ego," are echoed by Dr. Joshua David Stone in his seminal work, Soul Psychology. A veteran transpersonal psychologist and family counselor, Dr. Stone teaches us how our entire understanding of ourselves and others is completely changed when we integrate our soul into the way we live our lives. Based on eighteen years of Dr. Stone's practice, this book is not a psychological approach to spirituality. It is rather a spiritual approach to the psychology of everyday living.

At the heart of Soul Psychology is emotional healing through the dismantling of the "negative ego," a psychological cancer that prevents us from acting in accordance with our soul's true nature and purpose. This negative energy drives us to find our security outside of ourselves; whereas the only true security is one that is grounded in having a right relationship with self and a right relationship with the Divine. To guide us onto this path of spiritual ascension, Soul Psychology offers a stimulating new viewpoint that expands the boundaries of traditional spiritual practice, providing a wealth of accessible and powerful meditations and exercises, including

- The six-step process for healing and spiritualizing emotions
- The spiritual science of the seven rays and the twenty-two chakras
- Methods for clearing negative psychic energies that inhibit soul growth
- The one hundred most common pitfalls and traps on the spiritual path

Bound to be a Classic!

I never thought I would gain so much insight, understanding and practical guidance from a single book. Dr. Stone has put together a modern compilation of techniques and psychospiritual systems in an easy to understand format. I definitely recommend this book!

A truly life-enhancing book

I hate to dispute the opinion of another, but I wonder if our friend below has actually read any of this book other than the blurb? Judging by his comments, I have to say I very much doubt it. 'Soul Psychology' is an extraordinary book that takes a look at psychology within the context of the mind and soul as opposed to just the mind and personality. The result is an inspiring, life-enhancing book, packed with various tools and techniques that are easy to use and extremely effective in dealing with negative emotions and mindsets and reprogramming the subconscious mind (I can vouch for their effectiveness!). Words cannot describe how empowering and invaluable this book has been. Simply put, it's a classic, visionary and pioneering work - I highly recommend it!

Negative ego NOT ego, read the book!

Having fully read and explored this book, the reader understands that the author is speaking of the 'negative ego' which needs to be cleared so that perceptual filters are no longer distorting one's perception of reality. The author does not negate the fact that the part of ego necessary for daily activity is important. This is the same part of ego that Sai Baba comments on by saying: 'God equals man minus ego'. Please read this book before you make a review on it!

Conflict Based view of the Ego

This presents a rather outmoded view of the ego as the enemy; rather than as a "mechanism"whereby consciousness is able to focus on the external senses and external reality (i.e the world). Accordingly, where consciousness also focuses on the internal senses and reality, and with the awareness of the multidimensional nature of reality and of the self - the ego is perceived as one (quite useful) aspect of consciousness. Damning the ego feeds the illusion of conflict at the very core of one's self. This illusion may feel true due to information primarily perceived and cognized via the external senses - but this is not the "fault" of the ego. For non-conflict based explorations of the psyche read Jane Roberts, J Krishnamurti, Ken Wilber, or search "multidimensionality". Regarding Sai Baba, the reader is referred to the Neural Surfer where Sai Baba, and other spiritual leaders, teachings and lives are explored and scrutinized.
