Issue 39  /  February–April 2008
The Cosmos, the Psyche, and YOU
An evolutionary vision for spirituality and psychology in the 21st century
In one of WIE’s most eclectic issues yet, we trace the profound influence that the 20th-century luminaries Carl Jung and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin have had on the way we see ourselves and our world, and how their perspectives are shaping our collective destiny today. Plus, we take a closer look at the idea of the “divine feminine,” critique the artwork of Adi Da Samraj, explore the relationship between time and eternity, and speak with a bodybuilding legend on his pursuit of self mastery. Featuring Ken Wilber, Frank Zane, Helen LaKelly Hunt, Andrew Cohen, and more.

The Cosmos, the Psyche & YOU

Carl Gustav Jung and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. One probed the psyche. The other contemplated the cosmos. Declared by some to be the two most influential thinkers of the twentieth century, Jung and Teilhard seem destined to play a significant part in the twenty-first. In this personal and philosophical journey, WIE editor Carter Phipps walks the line between past and future, tracing the influence of these groundbreaking figures and exploring the role they may each play in our understanding of who we are . . . and of where we're headed in the years to come.
