CHRISTINA GROF

En este libro se contemplan las adicciones como el equivalente, en un nivel inferior, de la sed espiritual de plenitud de nuestro ser, esa sed que en el lenguaje medieval se expresaba como el deseo de union con Dios. La autora parte de su experiencia vital para describir su propio recorrido, con un libro para todas las personas que son conscientes de su sed de plenitud y que a veces luchan con ella buscando medios de saciarla. Aunque gran parte de su enfoque se centra en el problema de la adiccion, la lucha de la persona adicta es un extremo amplificado del desafio al que todos nos enfrentamos. Los problemas son similares y tambien las soluciones.

"Christina Grof offers us a beautifully crafted and moving memoir of transformationof family at the end of a life, of unconsciousness and abuse, understanding andredemption."--Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With HeartThe Eggshell Landing takes us to the warm breezes and flower-lined lanais of Hawaii, where Christina Grof was raised by her mother and stepfather. There was much joy and adventure in her childhood, but also dark secrets and enduring pain. Now her abusive stepfather is dying of malignant melanoma in Honolulu. Should she confront him about her conflicted difficult memories? Should she stay silent? Maybe just write him a letter? Or should she go back to the islands, support him and help to create a loving atmosphere for his last months? What would you do? The Eggshell Landing is a miraculous story of forgiveness and redemption. The hard-shelled man who drank and acted inappropriately toward his daughter is not someone for whom we would envision redemption or compassion. Christina Grofs experiences with her dying stepfather will surprise you and perhaps even change your attitude toward forgiveness.
