The Life of the Soul: Between Subconsciousness and Supraconsciousness : Elements of a Spiritual Psychology

In this study, Georg Kuhlewind establishes a truly spiritual psychology. This psychology distinguishes between the subconscious regions explored by previous psychological schools and the supra-consciousness, which is identified as the light-filled, living source of our normal waking awareness and thought. As such, it is radically "present, " in contrast to our normal thoughts and emotions, which belong to a "past-consciousness, " composed of preformed elements. As readers of Kuhlewind's other books are aware, the non-dual realm is not to be found spatially or temporally but exists within the very processes of cognition.Kuhlewind explains how the diseases of consciousness familiar to us today arise from the decay of this higher cognitive potential.
