The Ego & the Dynamic Ground, Michael Washburn, 1995
This is an intriguing and stimulating exploration of the spiritual path from a transpersonal psychology perspective. This is well worth reading for an understanding of the relationship between ego and dynamic ground, or rephrasing this into our words, the relationship between ego and Spirit/Source. As we explore more of the ways in which we hold ourselves back from being more in connection with Spirit, we find books such as this one to be essential in helping us find our way along the path. |
