Psychology with a Soul

There seems to be a worldwide hunger for a greater spiritual understanding and connection. This may be why I've read Silver Cord several times and give copies of it to anyone who seems the least bit interested. Silver Cord is a persuasive book because it describes human nature within a spiritual framework that differs from those espoused by organized religions. It was authored by Barham and Greene, clinical psychologists who have published two related books (Bridging Two Worlds and Our Spiritual Connection). All three books necessarily draw upon the authors' spiritual experiences that are as well-documented as possible. Silver Cord describes the structure of the human personality in terms of spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and physical quadrants. While the latter three quadrants are common elements of mainstream psychology, inclusion of an explicitly defined spiritual quadrant is not. Oddly, most modern psychologists avoid integrating spirituality even though throughout history it has been central to the human experience. Because Barham and Greene describe this breadth of human experience, it is quite easy for readers to relate to the spiritual framework in Silver Cord. There are descriptions of the nature of the creator (i.e., the Source), souls, and universes. Here are some of the basic tenets presented in the Silver Cord: The Source (i.e., God) is energy that creates energy. Some refer to the Source's energy pattern as Heaven. The Source creates only positive energies and universal laws that guide them. It is benign and not all-knowing. The Source created two other universes that are designed to evolve so that the Source Itself evolves. There are three universes that co-exist: (1) the obstructed universe (physical existence known to humans through the senses and technology; three-dimensional space and linear time); (2) the unobstructed universe (energy patterns of frequencies and dimensions not commonly perceived by humans); and (3) the Source. There are three types of energy that co-exist: (1) physical of the obstructed universe; (2) spiritual of the unobstructed universe; and (3) psychic, which binds the three universes. The "silver cord" in the title of this book refers to an energy permanence that connects the soul's spiritual energy with the body's physical energy as long as the body is alive. Each human has a soul, which is an entity that consists of spiritual energy created by the Source and is part of the Source Itself. The soul lives forever. The soul's purpose is to evolve (thereby teaching the Source) and ultimately to return to the Source. All souls eventually re-emerge with the Source--there is no Satan or Hell or Purgatory. Souls evolve through seven levels prior to returning to the Source. There are no "lost souls" or "evil spirits". The Source gives birth to 2, 3, or 5 souls at a time. Each soul has a male or female energy pattern and at least one of each sex is included at birth. Souls birthed together

I am ordering two more books today. I can't remember how many I've ordered and given away to people that were looking for answers, to our spirituality, that made sense. This is a wonderful primer and reference book. In my opinion it should be in everyone's library and read often.

I helped my colleague and dear friend Marti Barham write this book. I got my copy of it out about a week ago and read it for the first time in several years. I still like it, and still follow the principles it contains. I have never been misdirected by its teachings.

Excellent, Meaningful! This book offers answers to life.

"...the truth shall set you free." When I read this book, its words jumped out at me as the truth. A beautifully written, very helpful presentation about life and beyond. These concepts changed, or more aptly put, "saved" my life. This book should be a textbook in schools and on every bookshelf in every home. Thank you.

EXCELLENT!

The Silver Cord changed my life and view of spirituality. In a time of chaos and change, The Silver Cord gives us some excellent "inside" view of the "unobstructed". The author's conversations with "entities" of the unobstructed universe are revealing and powerfull. I recommend this book to everyone I meet
