Eva Pierrakos was born Eva Wassermann in 1914 in Austria. She grew up in Vienna during the political unrest of the post World War I years, while the darkness that was about to descend and culminate in World War ii was gathering over Europe. Eva loved life, nature, animals the pleasure of dancing and skiing and of friendship. She was able to leave Austria and lived for a while in Switzerland before settling down in New York. During this time she became the channel for a highly developed spirit guide who gave the series of lectures contained in this CD. Hers is the perennial story of transmitters of spiritual truth: first, astonishment at the manifestation of the gift, then reluctance to accept it and finally, humbly taking on the task with total commitment. Quietly, she drew to herself an ever-growing number of people who became attracted to the path of self-transformation taught by "the Guide." From the material of these lectures Eva Pierrakos developed the Pathwork, a psycho-spiritual-physical process which leads to identification with the Godself. Her work was enhanced through her marriage with Dr. John Pierrakos, as psychiatrist and co-creator of Core Energetics, who introduced the energetic element into the practice of the Pathwork.
Eva Died in 1979, leaving behind her the rich legacy of 258 Guide lectures and thousands of students and followers of the teachings which she transmitted with such devotion for twenty-five years. Following is her story, as she wrote it.
Eva's Story
In August 1952, on a beautiful moonlit evening during a visit to Switzerland, I was sitting in my room, leaning my elbows on the table and my head on my hands. I was thinking perhaps meditating, although I did not know much about meditation at that time. Only a short time prior to this evening, I was introduced to a group, in Zurich, which was seriously concerned with psychic and spiritual phenomena. I approached this, to me, very new concept full of skepticism. NEXT
