Hauntings

What does life ask of us and how are we to answer that summons? Are we here just to propagate the species anew? Do any of us really believe that we are here to make money and then die? Does life matter in the end and if so how and in what fashion? What guiding intelligence weaves the threads of our individual biographies? What hauntings of the invisible world invigorate animate and direct the multiple narratives of daily life? In <i><b>Hauntings</i></b> James Hollis considers how we are all governed by the presence of invisible forms spirits ghosts ancestral and parental influences inner voices dreams impulses untold stories complexes synchronicities and mysteries which move through us and through history. He offers a way to understand them psychologically examining the persistence of the past in influencing our present conscious lives and noting that engagement with mystery is what life asks of each of us. From such engagements a deeper more thoughtful more considered life may come.
