This book delivers the author's idiosyncratic vision and understanding of this vocation. Yungblut, a Quaker who is director of the Guild for Spiritual Guidance, believes that individuals are now seeking help in the cultivation of their mystical faculties. Yungblut believes that anyone who wants to assist others in this spiritual quest must be able to process the depth psychology of C. G. Jung and the new myths of continuing creation proffered by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. The author offers pragmatic advice for those who want to pursue the gentle art of spiritual guidance in chapters on disciplines of devotion and the dynamics of a counseling session.
