To Seek a Larger Spirit: Reflections of a Jewish Psychologist

In this volume, psychologist and spiritual seeker Michael Milgraum takes his readers on a poetic journey exploring the human psyche and soul. Drawing on his lifelong study of Jewish philosophy, teachings, and tradition, as well as over 20 years of experience as a clinical psychologist, Milgraum explores how the path to self-understanding and the path to connection with God are inextricably linked. These poems transport the reader to a great variety of psychological and spiritual spaces, including healing from trauma, the struggle to grow beyond fear and self-protection, the longing for human connection and warmth, the expansive beauty of the natural world, prayer, sacred times and places, encountering one's own dark side, the limits of control, the power of choice, and the tension/dance between faith and reason. Although many of these poems are deeply connected to Jewish teachings, the themes and reflections herein are universal and speak to the soul of all individuals who are interested in becoming whole by connecting to a higher power and a deeper truth.
