New Self, New World

An exceptionally important book. <br>--Andrew Harvey, scholar, mystic, author of Son of Man, The Return of the Mother, and The Way of Passion <br> New Self, New World is an extraordinary work--an awesome display of wisdom distilled from the world's great wisdom traditions and the majestic individuals who have experienced them. This book is about achieving the highest dimensions of which humans are capable. Highly recommended. <br>--Larry Dossey, MD, author of Healing Beyond the Body, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Words <br> Shepherd has written a masterpiece. New Self, New World calls us back to source, artfully reminding us of the divine magnificence that we have long forgotten in our disembodied culture. As I read it, I felt my shoulders drop as my heart became more available to the moment. Read this book, and remember your self. <br>--Jeff Brown, author of Soulshaping <br> New Self, New World is an exciting investigation of the human psyche, which is commonly male-oriented, and the deep-seated problems that result when deprived of its female counterpart. Using conventional spiritual concepts, such as the Holy Trinity, Shepherd provides a workable guide to achieving inner fulfillment by accepting the so-called 'weak' elements of our dual nature. <br> -- Foreword Reviews <br> At its core, this book is a cultural discourse about reconnecting to the wholeness of being human: to integrate the innate intelligence of the body into a functioning paradigm of human experience and evolution. The idea that we 'live in our heads' and are mostly disconnected from our body is not new. What is new is how this author extensively examines the historical, philosophical, scientific, mythological, spiritual, and social paths that have embedded this dissociative worldview as reality, to the extent that we are completely unaware that we are merely actors on a 'headstrong' stage of our own making... not since Ken Wilber introduced the Western world too
