Spirals of Growth

A few years ago, when Abraham Maslow, the leading light of "third force" psychology, read the basic outline of this work, he expressed the hope that the author would be successful in having his thoughts published. Later, Robert Hutchins, America's most humane educational reformer, indicated appreciation of the implications of this cogent study in consciousness. With encouragement from such prestigious sources, Dwight Johnson moved eagerly ahead with organizing his views about the evolution of man's consciousness. He offers here a model and perspective of human growth that transcends a psychology of the personality, taking man and his awareness through Seership and approaching the rarified atmosphere of the Immortals - the super-conscious realm of men such as Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, etc. The path leading to this transcendental state of being is spiral-like. The stages are recognizable to all students of human nature: infant, child, social adult, individual, free person. Then follows the Seer-stage, and finally, via spiritual alchemy, the transformation from something common into something even more sublime, something even more precious. --- from book's back cover
