These crises have often resolved into masterpieces of therapeutic insight--profound, radical, sometimes subversive, and still of value even in our age of scientific psychology. Making Peace With The Universe considers classic documents of personal religion on their own explicitly therapeutic terms by analyzing the agonizing backstories that inspired them. For millennia the world's astounding array of religious traditions have cultivated a particular psychological affect--an edifying spiritual mood--and developed daily practices to encourage it. Seen this way, religion was the forum for therapy before the modern scientific undertaking existed. This book understands classic and diverse religious confessions--William James; Muslim legal scholar turned mystic Hamid al-Ghazali; Chinggis Khan, as described by the Daoist monk Qui Chuji; Catholic jazz composer, pianist, and singer Mary Lou Williams; and Socrates, one of the earliest recorded examples of existential crisis--as exemplars that record the achievement of integrative psychological health through nourishing the spiritual mood, moving from personal crisis to peace with the universe"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Religious biography. 650 0 $a Psychology and religion $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Spiritual healing $v Case studies. 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Religious materials. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201017010312.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10450B8C103E11EBBA8D381D4BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
