Soulmaking

IN EVERY LIFE THERE IS A HIDDEN PLOT, a story going on behind the scenes that wants to be told. And it's often told in the language of dreams, coincidences, intuitions, and strange leaps beyond time and space. In a series of vignettes, philosopher Michael Grosso explores the odder experiences of his life-involving ghosts, UFOs, and the like-that extended his perceptions of reality. It's an adventure in soulmaking and the unexpected ways the hidden self within tries to speak to us.

"Much more than a guidebook to the art of soulmaking, Michael Grosso's new volume sparkles with seminal insights and mind-stretching speculations concerning the soul-building potential of close encounters of the strange kind. Grosso's narrative gifts are superb and the stories he tells beguile us with their undeniable mysteries like an unforgettable exotic perfume." - Ken Ring, author of "Heading Toward Omega"

"Michael Grosso, a philosopher by trade, has long been interested in unusual or anomalous events...out of an ardent desire to 'remake' his soul. This 'soulmaking' process, which led to the title of this enchanting little book, is seen as the central life task for any thinking person." - Sam Menahem, author of "When Therapy Isn't Enough"

MICHAEL GROSSO studied classics and received his Ph.D. in philosophy from Columbia University. Formerly a philosophy professor at Marymount Manhattan College and the City University of New Jersey, Grosso is an independent scholar interested in psychophysical anomalies and their use in everyday life. He is the author of several books, including "Experiencing the Next World Now," and a co-author of "Irreducible Mind: Toward a Psychology for the 21st Century."
