Bücher von Pearl E Gregor

An immersion experience for seekers, healers and dreamers, this book is a journey into the dark feminine. This is a real, gut-wrenching and timeless story of woman's search for the Divine Feminine. A surprising story of the desperation and final release from seemingly endless depression, this book is for those who have found no relief either in talk therapy, the medical establishment, pharmaceuticals, or conventional religious and cultural institutions. It will appeal to many resting in an uncomfortable church pew or those who have abandoned the pew but suffer with, flashbacks and the longing for communion with All. No matter what gender, most people are living deep patriarchal consciousness with no awareness of its presence. "A century ago Sigmund Freud said, 'Dreams are the royal road to the unconscious.' Carl Jung agreed but was more subtle. 'The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the psyche.' Working deeply with dreams, he went on to describe the collective unconscious. Dreams have been noted and found important in every culture on this planet; babies dream; animals dream. Pearl Gregor had a dream in 1988 that changed her life. This is the story of the dreamer and the dreams. Pearl sets aside her skills learned as an educator and administrator to forge a brand new path into the dark forest with the light of dreams to guide her. This book's main task is a plummeting within and a thorough examination of the plummeting and rising process. There's also an invitation to the reader to go on her own journey. This work is a revelation (of immanent and transcendent Being), a psychoanalysis and an extended meditation on being human. Oh, and it's a memoir." -Michael Kenyon, author and poet

Is God a baptized Catholic? What do we know before we are taught the "right" answers? How does "woman" come to know her own instinctive wild feminine self within the constraints of a patriarchal culture that defines her as flawed from birth? This is the second in a three-part series of one woman's independent and courageous journey to heal clinical depression and weave body, mind and soul into wholeness. Pearl speaks in her own voice through many dreams that offer deep insights over years of writing. Eventually, she begins to recognize vestiges of the Sumerian goddess, Inanna, Queen of Heaven, as strange, weird symbols emerge from the depths of her psyche. In Authoring Self: A Journey through Dreams to the Feminine, Pearl struggles to the edges of consciousness to uproot and heal deeply embedded unconscious beliefs in a vengeful punishing Old Testament God. Authoring Self begins in Maryknoll Center, Ossining, New York, 4,000 miles from her Alberta farm home where she experiences deep archetypal dreams and visions and learns about the transpersonal. In search of her self, Pearl must learn a whole new language and excavate the many layers of embedded patriarchy to become her own authority. Many Jungian thinkers, such as Sylvia Perera, identify these patterns as the emergence of the sacred feminine. Pearl Gregor was born and raised in northern Alberta. She became an educator, administrator, provincial government consultant and along the way, a radical feminist. She came to writing late in life. At age 43, in a desperate search to heal clincial depression, Pearl found the inner world of meditation and dreams. The story begins in Book I in the Dreams Along the Way series, I, the Woman, Planted the Tree: A Journey through Dreams to the feminine, which was published in December 2018. Now, healing the aftermath of repressed trauma takes Pearl even deeper into the uncharted territory of psyche. Authoring Self: A Journey through Dreams to the Feminine is the next part of the story of that navigation as told through deeper and deeper work with each new dream experience.
