While this a challenging read, especially for those not particularly versed in psychology, The pearl Beyond price has literally saved my life. It details how the human ego evolves (and therein lies the key to the egos dismantling). It goes deeply into the many phases of the mother/child bond and helped me understand my particular predicament and wounding. Take it at a slow pace--chew thoroughly and set yourself free.

I will probably be referring to this book a lot in the future, and have not really finished it. it's pretty heavy plowing, and it presumes you know about object psychology. I could know more! I feel it has answered some of my questions about the development of Ego and that has been helpful understanding other material that makes reference to ego without really explaining it, or expanding on what it might be. If you are interested in integrating Psychology and spirituality you might like this. No...more
Packed full of ideas and explanations that have been gleaned from a variety of sources, including philosophy and psychology. Many concepts were over my head, so the reading was slow and difficult. I will keep it on my shelf to re-visit later, and I would hazard a guess that as I keep on the path, the words will have more meaning to me. For now, it was a valuable read, but a difficult one and I know I've missed so much of what he was trying to impart.
