Life Force: The Psycho-Historical Recovery of the Self
Jean Houston
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.
