Self-Knowledge and Spiritual Yearning: The Role of Spirituality in Psychological Health
According to E. Douglass Brown, modern science has silenced all
doubt among open-minded people that life emanates from an
intelligent designer. The all-encompassing, distinct characteristic
of the human being is an inborn link to the spirit of God. To
cultivate that link, the Creator provides human beings with a
divine paradigm for self-development.In "Self-Knowledge and
Spiritual Yearning: The Role of Spirituality in Psychological
Health," Dr. Brown offers revitalizing prescriptions from the
Quran for cultivating a healthy personality and for healing the
self that has suffered psychospiritual injury. Dr. Brown also
describes the seven stages of psychospiritual self-development and
provides examples of behavior in each stage.Through the use of
universal metaphors, Dr. Brown explains how a person advances to
higher levels of consciousness, finally culminating in unfettered
God-consciousness. He also includes instructions from the Quran
about how to overcome difficult life situations that impede your
progress in achieving a greater plane of consciousness. Learn to
focus on spiritual healing and start integrating it into your
everyday life!
