More About the Author
Product Description
Review
For many years, Jocelyn Chaplin has worked at the cutting edge of therapy, politics and conscious living. In this book she pulls together all the marvelous ideas and intuitions we have been hearing and experiencing at conferences and workshops. This is a text that academics, activists and anyone involved with the future of humanity should read, allowing themselves to become inspired by what Chaplin means when she writes of Deep Equality. --Andrew Samuels, Professor of Analytical Psychology, University of Essex.
Chaplin uses the basic three-level model found useful by so many writers on mysticism - Ego, Subtle and Causal - and concentrates on the Subtle level. She eloquently argues that this level, with its emphasis upon plurality and fluidity, offers an appealing alternative to the customary Ego thinking. As a Therapist, she includes a number of revealing case vignettes, based upon this approach which are both moving and encouraging. --John Rowan, Author of Ordinary Ecstasy
A liberating and natural philosophy which takes us beyond the old structures of dualism, stuckness and power struggles into the balanced and flowing realms of freedom, growth and unconditional love. Deep Equality offers plenty of food for thought, as well as practical steps to take. Read it - and remember who you really are. --Gill Edwards, Author of 'Living Magically'

Product Description
As Jimi Hendrix said, Life is rhythm. From the oscillating strings of sub atomic matter(depicted on the cover)to the breathing of the cosmos, everything in the universe is rhythmic. Yet we humans still tend to think with rigid vertical mind sets of superior/inferior etc. This book shows us how to free ourselves from these and think rhythmically. Using lots of examples, it helps us to attune more effectively to those ever changing equalizing forces that flow through us. Rhythms interconnect opposites, while hierarchies divide.

Format:Paperback
Therapist and teacher Jocelyn Chaplin uses many vivid examples from her life and practice to highlight the wisdom of going with life's flow. Advocating the development of intuition, natural rhythm and freedom from extremes, the author rejects the binary, hierarchical world so often encountered today. Drawing on diverse spiritual and therapeutic traditions, Deep Equality is a modern manifesto for `living life as life lives itself'. Grounded in real experience and not relying on vague abstractions, the book also benefits from the author's own evocative and original illustrations. JC wears her learning lightly and has produced a work that is both absorbing and highly readable.

Format:Paperback
In "Deep Equality" Jocelyn Chaplin does a masterful job of weaving insights from music, therapy, daily life, activism, and spirituality to create an elegant and coherent thesis supporting the essential place of rhythm in life. This book is valuable in many ways, not least because it helps make sense of many of the things we do automatically and which help us ground and integrate the awesome complexity of being human. Chaplin encourages us to do these activities more than just instinctively, and with more awareness, and thus to enhance our sense of belonging to this life and this planet.
