"The great malady of the twentieth century, implicated in all of
our troubles and affecting us individually and socially, is '
loss of soul.' When the soul is neglected, it just doesn't go away;
it appears symptomatically in obsessions, addictions, violence,
and loss of meaning. Our temptation is to isolate these symptoms
or eradicate them one by one; but the root problem is that we
have lost our wisdom about the soul, even our interest in it."
- Thomas Moore, "Care of the Soul", pg xi
Four-fifths of the world’s population are suffering from a hunger
of the body and one-fifth is suffering from a hunger of the soul.
Something strange is going on: our personalities are becoming
richer and richer, while our souls become poorer and poorer.
Our personalities are being whipped into a frenzied spiral of
acquiring more, doing more, and being faster, while our souls feel
empty and yearn for renewal. Voices within us warn of the
growing conflict between our personality and our soul.
We are precariously poised at a moment of great danger
and great hope."
- Lance H. K. Secretan, "Reclaiming Higher Ground:
Creating Organizations That Inspire the Soul", pg. 3

Paul H. Richard Soul Focused Consulting is a consulting
organization skilled in facilitating the raising of human
consciousness and deepening personal enrichment and

Paul H. Richard Soul Focused Consulting is a consulting
organization intensely committed to healing the human heart
and spirit. The human heart is not only the physical organ that pumps
life-blood through out our bodies. The human heart is also a metaphor for that deepest part of ourselves where we are most truly
ourselves; where our deepest passions, most fervent dreams,
and most creative imaginings dwell. The human heart is a metaphor for the Soul. The human heart, or Soul,
is thus that which makes us uniquely who we are and from which our
life most authentically flows. It is this heart/soul which contains all
the wisdom, vision, and healing power we need to live our lives with
deepest passion and courage.
