But its egoic-primacy offered little aid either for \u003cem\u003espiritual awakening\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003etransforming narcissism\u003c\/em\u003e (the early psychoanalysts considered the former \u003cem\u003eillusory\u003c\/em\u003e, the latter \u003cem\u003euntreatable\u003c\/em\u003e). It failed to see them as two wings of the same inner work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd the clinical tradition was left with a very partial view of narcissism's contours--like \"blind people describing an elephant.\" And a diminished sense of what its complete \u003cem\u003eopposite\u003c\/em\u003e--and thus, its full healing--even \u003cem\u003elooks\u003c\/em\u003e like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd so, for the plethora of books written about narcissism ever since, they haven't much helped. If anything, our collective narcissism has only \u003cem\u003eincreased\u003c\/em\u003e. And now is oozing out of all the nooks and crannies of a culture--even its White House.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet for thousands of years there've been spiritual lineages whose perspective--and body of practices--would be helpful adjuncts for modern psychology. For they'd freed adepts from narcissism's ego-centric, erotically crippled, and polarized vision. This book will provide some of this missing perspective, and some of their practices, in the attempt to heal the century-long divorce between psychology and spirituality. For we humans aren't pie charts. Psyche and spirit \u003cem\u003ebelong\u003c\/em\u003e together.
