Soul Jazz: Recognizing and Realizing Your Soul Values

Publisher Marketing: 'Soul Jazz: Recognizing and Realizing Your Soul Values' (Scholarly Articles, Vol. 6) is a personal guide manual helping the reader to become aware of their unique soul values. The author came to call our unique power potential primary power or self-power at first, before he introduced the term soul power. The guide not only explains what soul power is, how it can be developed and strengthened, but also what stands in the way to developing it. When we grasp the notion of autonomy, we see that all human growth has a destination-and that is why we say we have a destiny. The destination of youth is not to remain young, but to grow old. The destiny of a child is not to remain in childhood but to grow out of childhood. Building soul power requires to discover one's self, and to build a genuine identity. The author shows that building a genuine soul identity is done through discovering our innocence, realizing our primary power, developing our soul reality, accepting our marginality instead of striving for conformity, recovering and healing our inner child, integrating our shadow, and learning to see that a holographic image of the whole of mythology and human evolution is contained in our soul. As the topic of individuation is highly neglected in our school system and is neither a topic to be taught at university, and as in addition the notion of soul and soul values doesn't really fit in a materialistic and non-spiritual society, there is an obvious need for a mind-opening approach to personal growth that is provided with this guide.
