1. Daimon Seven Deadly Sins
The book "Seven Deadly Sins" offers an in-depth exploration of the classic seven deadly sins: pride, wrath, envy, sloth, lust, greed, and gluttony. These concepts, which have always been part of the human experience, are examined through the lens of psychology, particularly through the theories of C.G. Jung. Instead of viewing them as outdated religious teachings, a new approach is presented that illuminates the darker sides of human nature. Engaging with these sins is considered essential for understanding the questions surrounding the origin of evil and the human psyche. In a time when traditional answers are no longer sufficient, this book provides a valuable perspective on the challenges and conflicts that exist within each individual.
2. Daimon Das Mental der Zellen
Six billion Homo sapiens are confronted with the ineffectiveness of their way of being, just as certain fish once had to recognize the uselessness of their gills on a drying Earth. For these fish, who wanted to improve their aquatic science and invent new fins and new philosophies, would have been completely mistaken. The question is whether we will find the means: not an improvement of human suffocation, but a different way of life and being on Earth. Is there a secret spring, a trigger, within this human body that can help us transform our earthly living conditions, just as a first thought paved the way for Einstein and a jumbo jet three million years ago? What vibration will it be this time? Where in the body? Could it be that within the cell, that primordial matter of the world, there lies a power of consciousness or a "spring"?.

4. Daimon Die dunklen Begleiter der Seele
The seven deadly sins (pride, anger, envy, sloth, lust, greed, and gluttony) are as old as humanity itself and are so ubiquitous and commonplace in their manifestations that no one can honestly claim to be free from them upon self-examination. Today, we find it difficult to access the teachings of the deadly sins as understood by the Church Fathers. However, if we interpret them as psychological truths, as representations of the shadow—defined by C. G. Jung—they prove to be very relevant. Understood in this way, they no longer refer to a universally valid catalog of values but instead train our ability to recognize the darkness within ourselves: that which destroys our relationship with our soul, with others, and with nature. In today's world, which has largely lost the sensitivity to the evil within humanity, it is particularly worthwhile to question the psychological significance of the seven deadly sins. Anne Maguire excellently sensitizes us through vividly narrated, psychologically explained examples of how they manifest and what consequences they have. The ability to perceive our often unconsciously acting destructive sides is a prerequisite for us to confront them and thus make them accessible to change. “Therefore, anyone who wants an answer to the problem of evil today must first and foremost engage in thorough self-knowledge, that is, the best possible understanding of their wholeness. They must know without mercy how much good they are capable of and what misdeeds they are capable of, and they must be careful not to confuse one for reality and the other for illusion.” - C. G. Jung.
