To Recover A Spiritual Tradition In Which Creation, And The Study Of Creation, Matters Would Be To Inaugurate New Possibilities Between Spirituality And Science That Would Shape The Paradigms For Culture, Its Institution, And Its People.

I Consider Otto Rank To Be One Of The Great Spiritual Giants Of The Twentieth Century, A Genius As A Psychologist And A Saint As A Human Being. Though Vilified By His Original Community Of Freudians, He Never Became Bitter. He Died A Feminist And Deeply Committed To Social Justice, In 1939....his Deep Understanding Of Creativity Makes Him A Mentor For All Of Us Living In A Postmodern World....i Believe That Art And Artist, Especially Chapters 12 To 14, May Well Emerge As The Most Valuable Psychoanalysis Of The Spiritual Life In Our Time.

We All Share Beauty. It Strikes Us Indiscriminately. There Is No End To The Beauty For The Person Who Is Aware. Even The Cracks Between The Sidewalk Contain Geometric Patterns Of Amazing Beauty. If We Take Pictures Of Them And Blow Up The Photographs, We Realize We Walk On Beauty Every Day, Even When Things Seem Ugly Around Us.

If You Look Closely At A Tree You'll Notice It's Knots And Dead Branches, Just Like Our Bodies. What We Learn Is That Beauty And Imperfection Go Together Wonderfully.
