Abstract: . . .  ferment. She wants us to see our world from the bottom up as soul. Her task is now to help us transform our over- whelmingly material civilization into an ensouled culture of participation in the living worlds of soul and spirit. In a word, she is asking us to see the world in a new way—as the place of the pres- ence of the gods. For this, she gives us a special tool: imagination. Gail Thomas is an archetypal psycholo- gist and cultural activist who has been working with the figure of Pandora for more than twenty years. Healing Pandora is the rich fruit of her labors.

Many readers responded gratefully to its pro- foundly simple message:“The spirit is very near. Only turn, ask, and listen.” However, Turning was only a selection of what was received. Becoming, a treas- ury of spiritual wisdom, collects all the messages given to Claire Blatchford, who now feels it is appropriate to reveal her name. Anyone seeking advice on how to draw closer to the spirit, anyone whose life is asking difficult questions or who is in pain or suffering psychologically, will find real sustenance,“fresh food for the soul,” here. Claire Blatchford studied at Gallaudet University, the Waldorf Institute for Liberal Education, and Teacher’s College. She taught the deaf for many years. She now lives in northwestern Massachusetts. 224 pages 1-58420-022-7 5 1 / 2 x 8 1 / 2 $20.00 paperback original june philosophy/ spirituality lindisfarne / 9 for more information: www.steinerbooks.org Earth-Friendly Re-Visioning Science and Spirituality . . .
