|  | THE HOLY LONGING
The Hidden Power of Spiritual Yearning Connie Zweig What is the urge that drives people to search for God, to join religious movements, or to undertake a spiritual practice? In her counseling work with clients from every religious denomination, Connie Zweig found that this universal yearning—a secret feeling with many disguises—often lies hidden at the source of our life stories. But what happens when the search for God goes awry, subjecting us to disillusionment, abuse, or betrayal? Zweig is an expert in the field of Jungian shadow work and knows that our darker experiences hold opportunities for growth and fulfillment. In this book she leads us from spiritual innocence, through loss, to spiritual maturity. What others have said about The Holy Longing: “The longing to know God is probably the most powerful innate force among humans, according to Zweig. The longing is our guide, she explains; in many it is our raison d'?tre. The trick is to stop trying to satiate it, and instead listen to what it is trying to teach us. Zweig devotes her final chapter to specific ways readers can integrate this yearning into their spiritual development, such as using imagery, shadow work, and creative expression. She is a resourceful teacher who offers many tools for living with our ‘holy longing’.” —Publisher's Weekly
“In this substantive follow-up to Romancing the Shadow (cowritten with Steve Wolf), Connie Zweig takes a hard look at holy longing and the spiritual abuse that can occur when disciples project their highest hopes on leaders, teachers, or gurus. Zweig believes holy longing is ‘the drive toward self-transcendence that fuels evolution in the physical, mental and spiritual worlds.’ This book plumbs the depths of the widespread problem of spiritual abuse in a time when fundamentalism, which is prone to this kind of surrender of self to an authoritarian power, is on the rise in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.” —Spirituality and Health Magazine |
