Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Traditional doctrinal and historical interpretation both rely heavily on rational analysis. But from the disciples at Emmaus to the beginnings of the present century, it has been the impact of scripture upon the human heart that has changed human lives. In recent decades, this impact has been strengthened by advances in linguistic and literary theory, by such disparate influences as feminism, structuralism, Jungianism, deconstructionism, the analysis of archaic imagery and myth, the recovery of Gnostic texts, and finally an openness to pluralism, whether ethnic, geographic, religious, or interpretive. All of these factors are treated here with a brevity and comprehensiveness which convincingly show that the reader of scripture has a creative and not merely passive role.

As I was reading this book I assumed the author had some personal experience of the "Great Self Within" and it wasn't until I finished reading the book that I realized the author had made no mention of mysticism, altered states of perception, or direct experiences of the transpersonal. Without such an experience you are likely to underestimate just how god-like the psyche can be. It is mystics who struggle the most with spiritual grandiosity because they've had privileged, personal experience of the sacred and the numinous.

Dr. Moore discusses how narcissism demands that others think and behave like us. It's something I struggle with daily. He draws out this and many other hidden patterns (sizes, shapes and colors) of ideological fundamentalism. To me this is an important idea for developing imagination or an open heart.

When you take a look around at this latest rising wave of darkness in our world, there are few voices speaking with clarity about the fundamental psychological and spiritual sources of that darkness, and, what can realistically be done on both an individual and global scale about it. Many are talking naively or in terms of divisiveness out of their own grandiosity. Robert Moore's new book, Facing The Dragon, is a wonderful insight into the full spectrum of grandiosity and how it functions to create both great peace and beauty, and, great evil and chaos when not faced on a personal and global scale. Dr. Moore synthesizes many sources of understanding: psychology, religion, spirituality, and culture, and brings his perspective and research together with real examples to clearly help the reader see how grandiosity works in their lives, their families, their churches, and their governments. I highly recommend this book to anyone in academia, government, religious or spiritual study, business, or anyone otherwise on a personal spiritual journey. The book is yet another in a cohesive series of works Dr. Moore has given us intended to bring our collective psychology closer together as a planet. Thank you Dr. Moore for this continued work. I can't wait until The Dragon rears its head in the subsequent book, Riding The Dragon! David Merkel

Men in recovery - or anyone actually who has ever had to adjust some personal behaviour to save their own life - eventually comes to realize that the time has come to face the Dragon. Or the devil within, or the beast within, or whatever you want to call it. And whatever it was that you were avoiding with the substance or behaviour ingested - it is exactly that Dragon which must now be faced. Be it anger, fear, lonliness, what hve you. This is generally not good news. And despite the wealth of revovery material available in the world today; there is not nearly enough which approach these problems from this perspective. This is an important work.
