Summary

Parabola's Fall 1990 issue: Liberation Nothing is more basic to the human condition than the wish to be free. But what is that wish, and where does it come from? Perhaps it is innate, springing from our true nature, which we have somehow lost touch with but which keeps calling out to us. This inner voice reminds us that our real slavery is not to outside forces, but to something much closer to home: our habits, our appetites, our desires, the dictates of our egoism. The more these are observed, the more dissatisfied we become: the wish for something higher and more open grows stronger, and we begin to understand the struggle towards freedom, the process of liberation. --from the editorial Focus Cover: Stained glass window of Jonah and the whale, fourteenth century Church of St. vâtienne, Mulhouse, France Photograph copyright Sonia Halliday Photographs In this issue:
