| BOOKS By Dr. Andrew Cort, DC, JD Religion, Mythology, History, Science and American Culture |
| In their deepest and most important sense, the stories of Mythology and Religion are not merely historical narratives or ethical teachings. They are psychological instructions. Through allegory and symbol they weave the tale of a soul that has descended into material life and must now find its way home again. This journey of transformation, guided by Love, from inner slavery to spiritual awakening and enlightenment, has been called "Persephone's Return to Olympus", "The Return to the Promised Land", "The Quest for the Holy Grail", and many other names. This quest for inner evolution gives life its meaning and purpose. |
| But to understand the instructions we need a 'key' to the ancient symbolism that is used in mythology and religion. Fortunately, the key still exists in the work of Plato and other ancient philosophers. Andrew Cort reveals this key in LOVE, WISDOM, AND GOD: The Longing of the Western Soul |
| Can we restore a genuine sense of meaning and purpose without compromising our rationality, scientific achievement, and social justice? With passion, intelligence and hope, Andrew Cort addresses this question in chapters covering science and technology, business ethics, pop culture, politics, family values, education, and religion in America. He reminds us that the dream of the Founding Fathers was that this nation would be the site of a great flowering of wisdom, beauty and spirit – and this is not just a preposterous fantasy that sophisticated people can no longer take seriously. |

| When read internally and symbolically, the Jewish Bible, the Christian Bible, and the Qur'an, are all "Manuals for Spiritual Awakening." In this groundbreaking book on the symbolism of religion and mythology, the inner meaning of the stories in the Bible and Qur'an is illuminated by the wonderful commentaries from the Talmud, the Kabbalah, the poetry of Rumi, Plato, and other mystical and philosophical writings. When this is understood, as Andrew Cort points out, the stunning underlying Unity of all our great western religious traditions is revealed. Plus: |
| The atheist objection that "science disproves the stories of religion" becomes irrelevant! Most importantly, the justification for religious hatred disappears! It's time to take religion back from fundamentalism and empty sanctimony. THE PURPOSE OF RELIGION |
| Think the Bible is stuffy? Think religion is unsexy? You're in for quite a surprise! Solomon's "Song of Songs", which is found in the Jewish Bible (and prefigures the Christian story of Jesus and Mary), is a beautiful, sacred, and erotic masterpiece that reverberates on many levels - from the courtship of the King and his betrothed, to the mystical wedding of Heaven and Earth, to the sweet, sensual pillow talk of all happy lovers.This adaptation, which holds closely to the original, is a dialogue that is meant to be read out loud together by couples. |
| In today's world of stress, fast food, and polluted environments, few if any of us can claim to be in a state of perfect health. We are long past the initial stage of prevention - what we all need is healing. However, with a health care system geared to "curing" symptoms, we foster the dangerous illusion that we can keep doing everything wrong (to ourselves, to each other, and to the planet) and somehow get away with it. The result of this attitude and consequent lifestyle is that people are living longer but becoming less healthy. |
| This is one of the most beautiful pieces of literature in the world. It has no equal, either in religion or secular literature. Find out why tonight by reading it out loud with a lover! THE SONG OF SONGS: A Lover's Poetic Dialogue |
| In this impassioned plea for quality of life and the preservation of our natural environment, Dr. Cort describes healing as the "fusing together of an open, active mind; a strong, receptive body; and a compassionate, conciliating heart. OUR HEALING BIRTHRIGHT |
