O knihe

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.
