Summary

What does life ask of us, and how are we to answer that summons?

Are we here just to propagate the species anew?

Do any of us really believe that we are here to make money and then die?

Does life matter, in the end, and if so, how, and in what fashion?

What guiding intelligence weaves the threads of our individual biographies?

What hauntings of the invisible world invigorate, animate, and direct the multiple narratives of daily life?

In Hauntings, James Hollis considers how we are all governed by the presence of invisible forms - spirits, ghosts, ancestral and parental influences, inner voices, dreams, impulses, untold stories, complexes, synchronicities, and mysteries - that move through us through history. He offers a way to understand them psychologically, examining the persistence of the past in influencing our present, conscious lives and noting that engagement with mystery is what life asks of each of us. From such engagements, a deeper, more thoughtful, more considered life may come.

Profile Image for J. Williams

An intellectual and spiritual/psychic journey, enlightening in its truest meaning.

I needed this book, it has arrived in at the perfect time in my life with the ending of and coming together of the many different aspects of my life. The challenge could sometimes seem overwhelming but James Hollis has touched upon each element with deep compassion and understanding, and I am deeply grateful.
