Love and Power - Bud Harris - Bog

Previously published as Becoming a Love Warrior by Bud Harris.

Our troubled lives and times are a call to remember that the path to love is a sacred, revolutionary journey. In this book Dr. Bud Harris will not let us forget that we are born to be loved and to love. We are born and challenged to nurture love and create a passion for caring, compassion and unity as parents to our children, for ourselves, our society and the planet. Our great religious traditions, each in its own way, have told us this truth for centuries. Dr. Harris shares his journey through many decades of personal and professional experiences that have taught him hope can be found. Even when it may seem impossible, we must remember we have this healing and life-giving power within us. We can learn to accept, understand and live with love as the foundation of our human destiny.

Reading this book is a journey through the nine lessons Dr. Harris presents for learning what love really means, how we can find and cultivate it, along with the inner strength and far-reaching visions to transform these troubled times. "Points to Ponder" in every lesson invite us to re-examine our personal reactions, fears, or hidden and debilitating experiences that may have surfaced as we were reading. These are stumbling blocks that keep us from fully realizing and living our capacities for strength, power in its positive sense, and love.
Dr. Bud Harris has been in the field of Jungian psychology for over 40 years and has authored and co-authored over 20 books. Now in his mid-80s he has a long-standing practice that continues to thrive. He wrote this book because he believes that healing alienation and cultivating compassion, beginning with ourselves, are the necessary steps for creating a finer world for our children and grandchildren. His hope is this book will help guide you to the source of strength and love within you.
