The Pearl and the Hut Volume II
Anthroposophical Soul Wisdom for Adults with Divorced Parents
by Yiana Belkalopolos

The Pearl and the Hut, Volume II explores understandings and higher perceptions around the psychological developments and heart challenges of adult child of divorce. The soul-spiritual insights in Rudolf Steiner's human consciousness philosophy, Anthroposophy, renew a person's humanness in the face of massive and necessary world changes. From the soul-psyche orientations of the twenty-one-year-old and the Sentient Soul period of life, to the fifty-six-year-old living into the Spirit Self nature, adult children of divorce see ways to navigate complex development stages without bypassing important relationships, feelings, thoughts and deeds. Biographies, verses, stories and a selection of life-enhancing practices encourge a person's heart-warm inner nature and will-strength to manage on-going conflicts, overcome neglect, and create the humane soul family that "Pearls" need. A simple Platonic Solids thinking practice highlights a powerful self-awareness device for "Pearls" to keep their life-forces whole, pull themselves inwardly together in times of emotional and mental overwhelm, and stay grounded during shifting and confusing events. Striving past survival personality, they can cultivate the truly human rights of loving self-acceptance and compassionate togetherness with others.

"A heartening example of the uniqueness of these books lives in the words the author has established to transform the negative associations of “divorce”. Neglected, abandoned, or poorly attached children become Pearls: Pearl Children, Pearl Youth, Pearl Adults, and Pearl Parents. A new narrative of self-valuing, wholeness, and resilience becomes possible." —Virginia Sease, Ph.D., Emerita Member Executive Council Anthroposophical Society Goetheanum, Switzerland "Due to a myriad of factors connected to our modern times, we have seen the breakdown not only of the extended family but also the immediate family unit, through divorce. The ‘hut’ has become divided and too many children have fallen in the gaps and missed developmental pieces. "As a child of divorced parents herself, Belkalopolos brings a refreshingly new approach to healing the inner divides in these adult children of divorce. She combines a lived experience of surviving parent conflict and family-life divisiveness with a twenty-five-year study of both western mainstream psychology and Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophical views of child and adult development." —Adriana Koulias Book Author Researcher Australia
