HEALING CIVILIZATION
Bringing Personal Transformation into the Societal Realm through . . . the Intra-Psychic Family
by Claudio Naranjo, MD.
Introduction by Jean Houston, PhD
From the consciousness pioneer who brought the Enneagram of Personality to the West, here is Dr. Claudio Naranjo's diagnosis of the patriarchal overlay that ails civilization—and how we can heal it from within by integrating our inner father (head), mother (heart), and child (instinctual center).

What happens when a 13th-century Sufi poet shows up at an Oakland bakery?*
Ralph Dranow's book, Jelaluddin Rumi Comes to Oakland, answers with poems that find the sacred tucked into the everyday—in a driving instructor's patient smile, an emergency room nurse's steady hands, two oak trees standing witness to time. With tenderness and sly humor, Dranow transforms the mundane into the miraculous: grocery lines become meditations, a new bath mat sings lullabies, political figures stumble toward redemption. These poems of deep noticing are a balm for troubled times and hungry hearts.
