About this ebook
"The Sacred Vagina is about life after death - a journey into the life of my soul, after the death of my marriage. Yes, a phoenix would arise from those ashes."

The questions Sam explores include:

* How are spirituality and sexuality related?
* Why are men so angry?
* What is romantic love?
* What is the soul?
* How do you unearth who you truly are?
F. Sam Gleason
Sam is a graduate of Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where he was introduced to the psychology of Carl Jung. After seminary, he received his M.A. degree from the California Family Study Center and later his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California in marriage and family counseling. He practiced for forty years before retiring. His lifelong quest has been to be receptive to the possibility of internal, psycho-spiritual transformation.In The Sacred Vagina, Sam frames his spiritual journey in the terminology of Jungian psychology, and also utilizes the engaging images, profound ideas, and life-giving symbols of the Christian myth. He opens himself to being radically transformed by the unconscious—by his soul and the Self. Within the fertile womb of the soul, he discovers some of the “fruits of the feminine.” Sam realizes his experience has been an inward journey toward the Self, a process of self-realization—indeed “the birth of God in the soul.” Ultimately, he arrives on the shore of the Infinite Mystery.
