Description
The human response to hurricanes spans a continuum from fascination to terror. Though we recognize the need to protect ourselves from the physical dangers of the great storm, we are yet drawn to witness its awesome power.
The hypothesis of Divine Tempest is that the hurricane is a universal symbol of the Self in its most primordial form. The author explores the world views of both aboriginal and modern cultures to paint a vivid picture of how human-kind has related to this cataclysm of nature, inwardly and outwardly for millennia.
Visual imagery, meteorological and historical data, mythological amplification, modern dream material, synchronistic and ESP phenomena, and first-hand experience (including the author’s) are the substance of this whirlwind text, interwoven into a comprehensive overview that illuminates the psychological meaning of hurricanes.
