The Quest For The Inner Man

to record and analuyse the inner and outer events of the investigation

This monumental 656-page biography is probably the fullest, most revealing account to date of Tchaikovsky's private life. Poznansky identifies the death of the composer's mother as a shattering experience for young Pyotr Ilyich, a source of deep existential melancholy. His hypersensitivity, forged by a child's feeling of paradise lost, would manifest in neurosis, insomnia and depressive fits marked by "a sense of insurmountable terror." A Yale University librarian, Poznansky explores the composer's obsessive fear of death, his idealized relationship with eccentric, free-thinking patron Nadezhda von Meck, the fiasco of his brief, unconsummated marriage, and his involvement in a homosexual subculture that simultaneously fascinated and repelled him. Drawing on Russian sources, the author refutes the theory that Tchaikovsky's death in 1893 at age 53 was a suicide forced upon him by a conspiracy of former classmates. "The story of a soul finding itself," this remarkable book casts only an indirect light on the relationship between Tchaikovsky's life and art, as the author omits extended discussion of the music.

Too often, the weight of the burden by these forces of life are so great that they shake, shatter, crush and break the inner man’s/woman’s mind, body, and soul into pieces. These overwhelming, devastating, and destructive blows usually beg the questions, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?” or “Where is God, in this demise?” These troublesome moments of despair and desperation (and others like these) usually become the compelling forces that bring the “inner man” face-to-face with the human limitations within. This is the juncture which opens the door for humility and The Divine Power of God to be manifested and triumph! In yielding and embracing this Divine intervention usually lead to an inner-transformation and transition of perspective on the need for a spiritual-relationship as opposed to a religious-relationship with The Divine-Power call Jesus! It is this “personal-encounter” it reaffirms this “Paradigm Shift” and unifies the inner man/inner woman to his/her Creator!

This book is about the human being in its entirety as present in the scripture to enable Christian believers to understand the work of salvation in Christ Jesus. Understandably it is a common knowledge that mankind consists of three components, which are spirit, soul and body, or spirit, mind, and body, but not many understand the spiritual implication of these components with regard to God's divine plan to rescue us from His wrath and destruction. Obviously we all understand what the body stands for, but not what the new testament writers refer to as the flesh; we may also have an idea of what the soul, mind, and spirit stands for but not what Jesus meant by the heart, or apostle Paul's teaching on the innerman, the inner person, or the inner being. Many may have settled for the conception of a person's ghost, trapped or entrapped somewhere in the galaxy yet lack the understating of God's creation of human being. The purpose of this book therefore is to examine this biblical facts regarding the inner man.
