"Once Upon ASOUL" invites everyone who recognizes that there is more to Heaven and Earth than the readily visible and who yearns to explore the deeper mysteries of life, to share the collective wisdom of science, psychology, and spirituality as it integrates mind, body, and spirit into a satisfying wholeness. "Once Upon ASOUL" speaks to an enduring, eternal core of Consciousness, a sacred essence that each of us carries deep within our being. "Once Upon ASOUL" invites each of us to participate with Consciousness Itself, in order to explore the sacred and deep mysteries beyond ordinary existence. Transpersonal self is guardian of the environment and an instrument for peace...partner and co-creator of our world. Dr. Kovelman's book attempts a synthesis of ancient spiritual traditions, transpersonal/humanistic psychologies, and quantum physics. There are several other excellent books on this topic but Dr. Kovelman's tome expresses its ideas in a more personal way than most others, thus is both Reader-friendly and easily accessible. Dr. Kovelman has stated that her goal is offering process to help the reader attain contact with the numinous and, in doing so, she espouses the multi-level, multi-faced and multi-dimensional nature of the psyche. Her book is a milestone in the effort to orient psychology toward an embrace with the sacred and spiritual aspects of life. Without this, much of what makes people human will be ignored -- to the detriment of both science and humanity.
