Description
Many years ago, the renowned psychologist, C G Jung, wrote a book entitled: The Modern Man in Search of a Soul. It may be asked: Is modern man really in search of a soul? The immediate reaction of the modern man to this question is likely to be: "I do not believe in soul. If it exists, it has no place in my scheme of things". However, it cannot be gainsaid that the modern man is in search of "something" - even though he does not know what that something is. In spite of the achievements of science he misses something. Not knowing what he misses his search has an element of groping in the dark.
The existence of man in the modern age of science and technology, is becoming more and more mechanical and consequently he is exposed to constant tension and frustration. Dissatisfied with these unhappy conditions, serious minded people are asking the questions: ' What is the place of the individual in the vast scheme of evolution? If he destined to remain a mere plaything in the hands of evolutionary forces? Has he no creative role to play?
The aim of this book is to answer these fundamental questions in the light of teachings of Theosophy and to explain that if the universals describe the pattern of evolution it is the Unique or the individual that reveals the purpose of underlying the evolutionary growth.
