Frankly, this looks like a crackpot's misunderstanding of the Bible. But, per Goodreads: By showing how Jesus' teachings relate to our inner depths, this book guides us toward a more conscious and creative life. The Kingdom Within explores the significance of Jesus' teachings for our interior life -- that inner reality that Jesus called "the kingdom of God." It is Sanford's conviction that contemporary Christianity has overlooked this inner dimension of Jesus' teachings and so has lost touch with the human soul. Illustrated with case histories and dream material drawn from the author's work as a psychotherapist, The Kingdom Within examines such characteristics as extroversion and introversion, masculinity and femininity, thinking and feeling, and sensation and intuition to show how Jesus met the criteria of wholeness or fullness of personhood. Step by step, Sanford helps us to shed the outer mask, to eschew sin, which "means living in enslavement to what we don't know about ourselves," and to follow the road of consciousness, which leads to "a great treasure waiting only to be discovered."

The Kingdom Within

n his five volume epic autobiography, John Sanford once again juxtaposes reminiscence with documentary material--not only brief, lyrical bio-vignettes on earlier American heroes and heroines, but also excerpts from personal letters, diaries and transcripts of court testimony--to build an impressive mosaic of the past recaptured, giving back full multi-dimensional vividness to history by returning it to the intimate field of experience, registering through his unique prose construction method that elusive quality of vanished time which he himself has aptly termed "the color of the air." For all his reliance on the distancing elements of fact, record and assemblage, it becomes increasingly clear as Sanford's critically acclaimed work reaches its conclusion that the method is as personal as any other major writer's. "Whether we know it or not," he himself recently suggested, "we all draw on ourselves for what we've seen, done, heard, imagined; on our stock, our savings, and we use it till it's gone."

Whether you are reading Greek mythology for psychological insights or studying the classics in college, there are a number of goddesses who have been almost entirely overlooked. They are John Sanford calls the lesser-known goddesses. However, there is nothing lesser about them. They personify the deeper elements that exist across all life, nature, and spiritual reality. Our current culture often neglects their qualities but would be wise to increase its understanding of them. Many Greek gods and goddesses have given modern psychologists powerful portraits of various personality types. In this book, however, analyst John Sanford turns his attention to the lesser-known goddesses: Ananke (goddess of necessity), Peitho (goddess of persuasion), the Fates, the Furites, Ate (goddess of folly), Aidos (goddess of modesty), and the Three Charites (beauty, good cheer, and abundance). Sanford draws from various stories, plays, and poems to illustrate the goddesses’ source of spiritual meaning and their role as the personification of the energies that truly run our souls.

The author of over 23 books from 1933-1997, including his superb five-volume Scenes from the Life of an American Jew, John Sanford is particularly well known for his autobiographical works and memoirs, many of them published by Black Sparrow and Capra presses. This short memoir is a celebration of his life with his wife Maggie, to whom he was married for over 50 years, and who died in 1989. Addressed to her, Sanford's work is a beautiful and loving testimony to his wife's life, including time of her being blacklisted by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer during the McCarthy era.
