Human beings have vast resources for social, personal, and spiritual growth. This project presents some of the thoughts, ideas, and notions of writers who have dedicated themselves to an approach that facilitates the emergence of the self that one truly is. The differing perspectives reflect a deep commitment to a process that is in many ways indefinable. Yet, each writer presents a snapshot of a process that is incredible to behold, and witness.

Carl Rogers by the time of his death had influenced psychology, counseling, and education in ways that defy the efforts of many professionals and scholars. Paul Tillich influenced theology and philosophy in similar ways. If anyone wishes to study in the fields mentioned, that person has to deal with this thinkers. It is with fear and trepidation I approach the Rogers - Tillich dialogue held in 1965 at San Diego State University in 1965. I am but a mere mortal who had his brain scrambled by these two giants.
