Awakening Through Dreams The Journey Through the Inner Landscape

Awakening Through Dreams The Journey Through the Inner Landscape

Most Western approaches to dreams are limited to a psychological paradigm. Building on Jung's work which was heavily influenced by the transformative model of alchemy a new multidimensional approach to the process of human transformation through dreams has been developed which recognises the interrelationship of the psychological and the spiritual and works with the mirroring body in service of both. In the approach presented here dreams are seen as a mixture of worldly impressions and expressions of our individual spirit which is trying to speak to us through the metaphors and narrative of our dreams. In this way the spiritual comes through the psychological dimension. Though it may seem to be a contradiction our dreams hold the key to our 'awakening' and by actively engaging with them we can unlock their potential for initiating and facilitating our own unfoldment. This book is about recognising this process when it occurs in dreams and how to work with them in the service of our growth and self-realisation. | Awakening Through Dreams The Journey Through the Inner Landscape

Disability and American Philosophies

Disability and American Philosophies

Given basic commitments to philosophize from lived experience and a shared underlying meliorist impulse American philosophical traditions seem well-suited to develop nascent philosophical engagement with disability studies. To date however there have been few efforts to facilitate research at the intersections of American philosophy and disability studies. This volume of essays seeks to offer some directions for propelling this inquiry. Scholars working in pragmatist and other American traditions consider intersections between American philosophy and work in disability studies. Consisting of three broader sections one set of essays considers how American philosophies from contemporary Mexican philosophy to classical American pragmatism inform descriptions of disability and efforts at liberation. The next offer accounts of how American philosophies disclose alternative conceptions of epistemic and ethical issues surrounding disability. Finally a section considers living issues of disability including essays on parenting immigration policy and art education. Throughout these works provide direction and orientation for further investigation at the intersection of American philosophies and disability studies. | Disability and American Philosophies

Sweet Dreams Erotic Plots

A previously unpublished work by the author. 'It was like discovering a previously unknown recording by the Beatles. On a 2007 visit to the author's widow Sybil she handed me a manuscript. The author's last book had been placed in a publishing queue by his retiring editor. After the author''s death Sybil was told that the publisher had discontinued psychoanalytic books. It languished on a home shelf in Los Angeles for sixteen years. I was holding the final work by psychoanalysis's most eloquent writer on sex.

Essentials Of American Politics

Essentials Of American Politics

Essentials of American Politics is an undergraduate text with a novel analytical and comparative focus. It takes as a central theme the increasing tension in American politics between a general philosophy of limited government and particular public demands for more and better government programs and services. While this has always been a feature of the American polity recent events have brought it into sharp focus. Both a Republican Congress and Democratic president extol the virtues of less government but continue to grapple with demands for improved education health care transportation and almost every other area of social and economic life. All praise the virtues of lower taxation and at the same time promise improvements in the quality of public services. A similar tension applies in the courts in state politics and indeed throughout the system. Recent successes such as a balanced budget have been achieved in part because the limited government philosophy has been on the ascendant and has won support from all shades of political opinion. But conflicts over the distributional questions of who gets what has hardly subsided. In few other democracies is this tension as well defined as in the United States and Essentials reminds readers of this fact through comparison with democratic processes in other countries and in particular with European countries. Essentials weaves this theme into a discussion of American national politics. Up to date and well organized chapters are devoted to beliefs and values the Constitution federalism Congress presidency the federal bureaucracy interest groups and the courts. Policy chapters include economic social and foreign affairs. In all chapters the analytical approach explains to students some of the main controversies in American political science. At all times Essentials seeks to impart basic information on American politics in an analytical but stimulating manner. Features:Concise format of 17 chapters that cover instit
