Stress Disorders (Douglas Baker) In terms of spiritual evolution, Man is well into the complicated and stressful affair of withdrawal, of returning to the Father’s house and re-entering it by a different ‘door’ to the one from which he left it. For man on the path, the nature of the Higher Self emerges as elements of Truth, Beauty and Goodness. It is in the expression, or non-expression of these, that stress arises and this book concerns the subject of this situation in human affairs. The traditional orthodox attitude with regard to the growing problem of stress has invariably been to find ways of relieving that stress by whatever means possible. For Man on the Path however, the factor of stress is not something which must be eliminated at all costs, but, on the contrary is something which he must learn to thrive on, for without it he would be incapable of evolving spiritually. Stress cannot be avoided in life but major problems arise when we are overwhelmed by excessive amounts of stress that lead to dis-stress and in turn dis-ease. The author, a medically qualified doctor and distinguished for his esoteric knowledge, discusses how stress disorders may arise for those undertaking esoteric disciplines. He gives practical advice as well as exercises on how to deal with stress in a creative manner. View our full range of books
