Description: Four Volume Set. Vol. 1, The Self; Vol. 2. The Self and Others; Vol. 3. The Self and Community; Vol. 4. The Self and Reality. Self emergence involves becoming aware of who I am, and integrating this awareness into my personal life as a whole. But the question remains: how can this be done? This book shows that self-emergence is a continuous even which starts with our awakening to life as children under the watchful eyes of parents, friends and relatives and continues until death. it presupposes a vibrant and ever-renewed presence to people and events as they actually are in my life situation such presence implies looking again,seeing again, listening again, - involving myself in what is there before me in the world and allowing it to touch me afresh. In this way I am continuously reborn. All moments of life can be rewarding, and the authors insist that we look for our joy and challenge on the level of everyday life. Though the lives of others can be admirable and inspirational, I need to find my own way where I am in the conditions of my own personal existence. My real self will always be a mystery, but I can unveil it partially by participating in an increasingly personal way in the social, cultural and religious roles which are presented to me by society and history. I am not a closed-off, self-contained unit - I need contact with God, man and world to discover and develop my personality. The gracious art of living is to know without effort how to really be myself with others and within the limits of each situation, how to believe in my own plentiful and realize my deepest potential.
