Who am I? What's my life's purpose? Where am I going when I die? These questions
lie at the heart of all our lives, yet clear answers seem hard to come by. "A C
omplete Guide to the Soul" explains that answers can in fact be found in a secre
t history that runs like quicksilver through Western culture, from philosophy an
d alchemy, to poetry and modern psychology. This hidden tradition places our sou
l at the centre of the universe and shows us how to recover a sense of meaning t
hat so many of us have lost today.
In this important book, Patrick Harpur exp
lores the nature of our soul, as well as its destiny. He unpacks the myths that
surround it and shows how it may actually be the very fabric of reality. And he
explains that, not until we have a clear understanding of this invisible part of
ourselves, can we discover the answers to many of our questions about existence
and human nature.
Ultimately, this knowledge could help us find our true pla
ce within the world in which we live.
