The Half-Remembered Reality (Paperback)

We think that we experience the world objectively, but the existence of dreams, clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other phenomena of parapsychology tell us we must look more deeply at what we call "reality." Barbara Cook Loy's "The Half-Remembered Reality" updates C.G. Jung's concept of synchronicity and uses it as a framework to study the very long border between the realms of psyche and nature. Her work explores ancient wisdom, modern science, world religious beliefs, philosophy, psychology, and the arts in search of the inner meaning of life, to provide a framework for spiritual healing and self-transformation. It is an intelligent, readable, and insightful guide for all of us caught up in the human predicament. About parapsychology Cook Loy concludes, "It is not that God intervenes in miraculous ways to upset the natural order, but rather that the natural order reveals itself as far richer and more mysterious than we have allowed ourselves to think." "In synchronicities," she says, "we discover a mysterious kind of activity in the world that happens at the very margins of our consciousness, like a strange sound in the night that stops as we come to wakefulness. What was that? we want to say. . . . Some half-remembered reality?" About the Author Completed in her ninetieth year, drawing on a lifetime of experience as a psychotherapist, Barbara Cook Loy's book lays out her life's work as a healer and scholar of the soul. She is a graduate cum laude of the University of Chicago and a member of Phi Beta Kappa. After raising her twin boys, she trained to be a psychotherapist at the C. G. Jung Institute in Los Angeles. Upon receiving her MFT, she practiced for many decades in Claremont, California, where she still resides. She has been an active member of the Claremont Jung Club and the Claremont Religious Society of Friends.
