Product Description

This is the last in a series of audio recordings made by Helen M. Luke shortly before her death in 1995 at the age of ninety. These readings from her book Kaleidoscope are remarkably penetrating and reveal the breadth of her life and work. With the gentle but resonant voice of a true seer, Luke teaches us about the role stories play in our search for inner meaning as she examines the biblical tales of the Exodus and Saul, the novels of Charles Williams, and her own original short stories.

From Library Journal
Psychologist Luke (Old Age: Journey into Simplicity, Audio Reviews, LJ 3/15/92) sought to discover the role that stories play in our lives and interpreted their meaning through the theories of Carl Jung. Recorded shortly before her death in 1995, these cassettes offer insight into the biblical stories of Exodus, the tale of Saul, the stories of Charles Williams (Essential Writings in Spirituality and Theology, Audio Reviews, LJ 7/93), and two of Luke's stories, "The Hunter and the Hunted" and "Salmon-Fisher Boy." She explores the nature and use of power, the belief that evil is necessary for redemption, and the need for balance.

This last in a series of audios by the Jungian psychologist, made before her death, examines how stories play intricate parts in the search for life’s meaning. Classics from the Bible and others are probed in a survey of story images and their underlying truths. -- Midwest Book Review

From AudioFile
Author and Jungian psychologist Helen Luke presents the last audio recording in her series. This tape set was completed shortly before her death. Luke teaches stories as a means of inner discovery. In this set she explores the stories of Exodus and Saul, the novels of Charles Williams and her own stories to convey the paradoxes of the human search for meaning. Her simple readings and discussions hypnotize the listener; her speech is magnificently articulate. Luke allows the stories to tell their tales while gently helping the listener to catch the messages contained within them. She brings the tales to life by applying them to living. E.L.C.
