Book excerpt: Empathy is that sought after but seemingly elusive ability where you are able to truly connect to another person. To understand intimately what they feel, to know where they are coming from because you feel it too. Empathy is that craved for ability, available to all, the human attribute needed in order to feel connected, part of something greater than ourselves. It is an ability that can be enriched and honed. Without it we are alone, forever separate, standing on the shore of life without the ability to reach out and touch others, no way to feel any sense of belonging, of being a part of a family, community, nation or race no way to find validation of your own experiences through others. For without empathy we are truly alone even when swimming in a vast sea of other people. Empathy for the empath it can be just the opposite. It can be very confusing, painful and frustrating for them feeling everything. Feeling everything other people feel yet they may not have any idea what they feel themselves. They can have no idea what feelings, emotion, and ideas are theirs and what are not. Empathy itself is not well defined yet by either the psychological or scientific communities but is coming under closer scrutiny and being studied. It is a much broader subject with more nuances and aspects to it than most people are aware of with many ways to approach the subject of empathy itself. What is even less understood is the fact that it is a skill that can be refined, bolstered and used for the betterment of all, particularly the empath. By honing their skill with empathy the empath frees themself to consciously choose when, where, with whom, how much of and why they will use their empathy rather than being at the mercy of inadvertent connection wherever there attention is taken. Not Crazy, Confessions of a Closet Empath leads the empath and sensitive soul through the first steps in gaining mastery of their marvelous gift that empathy is. Helping them begin to grasp what they have been dealing with all their life and another way to use the gifts empathy brings to benefit themselves and those around them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the postwar decades, sexual revolutions – first women's suffrage, flappers, Prohibition, and Mae West; later Alfred Kinsey, Hugh Hefner, and the pill – altered the lifestyles and desires of generations. Since the 1990s, the internet and its cataclysmic cultural and social technological shifts have unleashed a third sexual revolution, crystallized in the acts and rituals of confession that are a staple of our twenty-first-century lives. In I Confess!, a collection of thirty original essays, leading international scholars such as Ken Plummer, Susanna Paasonen, Tom Roach, and Shohini Ghosh explore the ideas of confession and sexuality in moving image arts and media, mostly in the Global North, over the last quarter century. Through self-referencing or autobiographical stories, testimonies, and performances, and through rigorously scrutinized case studies of "gay for pay," gaming, camming, YouTube uploads, and the films Tarnation and Nymph()maniac, the contributors describe a spectrum of identities, desires, and related representational practices. Together these desires and practices shape how we see, construct, and live our identities within this third sexual revolution, embodying both its ominous implications of surveillance and control and its utopian glimmers of community and liberation. Inspired by theorists from Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze to Gayle Rubin and José Esteban Muñoz, I Confess! reflects an extraordinary, paradigm-shifting proliferation of first-person voices and imagery produced during the third sexual revolution, from the eve of the internet to today.

Download or read book Confessions written by Saint Augustine and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confessions (401) is the work of Saint Augustine, a Roman theologian and bishop responsible for some of the core doctrines of today’s Catholic church. His literary works, including The Confessions, The Enchiridion, and On Christian Doctrine, are commonly viewed as foundational works of Christian theology and Western philosophy. Bishop of Hippo Regius—in modern day Algeria—from 395 to his death in 430, Augustine helped to justify and consolidate the role of Christianity in the Roman Empire and was canonized as a saint for his efforts. A young man does poorly in school, steals from his neighbor’s orchard, and has a son with a woman to whom he is not married. These are some of the core personal experiences detailed by Augustine in his autobiographical and theological work Confessions, in which he grows from a life of sin to accepting God and the Christian faith. Interspersed with stories of his life and conversion are descriptions and critiques of Neoplatonism, Manichaeism, and astrology, systems of belief and understanding which, for Augustine, fall short of the vision of humanity and salvation offered by Christianity. Throughout this text, Augustine encourages readers—especially those who have led troubled lives—not only to convert to Christianity, but to understand the inherent imperfection of all humanity and to envision the ultimately hopeful message of transformation and forgiveness offered by faith in God. Confessions is at heart a Christian text, but it is also essentially human. Augustine is remembered not just as a saint and Christian leader, but as a figure who precipitated the evolution of Western thought. Augustine’s Confessions is a foundational work of autobiographical and philosophical writing, influencing such writers as Blaise Pascal, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Aquinas, Bertrand Russell, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Its personal nature and depth of honesty are considered formal innovations in autobiography and memoir writing, and its meditations on God and human nature have made it an essential text for philosophers and theologians for centuries. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Saint Augustine’s Confessions is a classic of autobiography and Christian theology reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book Paranoia and Modernity written by John C. Farrell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Don Quixote is the first great modern paranoid adventurer.... Grandiosity and persecution define the characters of Swift's Gulliver, Stendhal's Julien Sorel, Melville's Ahab, Dostoyevsky's Underground Man, Ibsen's Masterbuilder Solness, Strindberg's Captain (in The Father), Kafka's K., and Joyce's autobiographical hero Stephen Dedalus.... The all-encompassing conspiracy, very much in its original Rousseauvian cast, has become almost the normal way of representing society and its institutions since World War Two, giving impetus to heroic plots and counter-plots in a hundred films and in the novels of Burroughs, Heller, Ellison, Pynchon, Kesey, Mailer, DeLillo, and others."—from Paranoia and Modernity Paranoia, suspicion, and control have preoccupied key Western intellectuals since the sixteenth century. Paranoia is a dominant concern in modern literature, and its peculiar constellation of symptoms—grandiosity, suspicion, unfounded hostility, delusions of persecution and conspiracy—are nearly obligatory psychological components of the modern hero. How did paranoia come to the center of modern moral and intellectual consciousness? In Paranoia and Modernity, John Farrell brings literary criticism, psychology, and intellectual history to the attempt at an answer. He demonstrates the connection between paranoia and the long history of struggles over the question of agency—the extent to which we are free to act and responsible for our actions. He addresses a wide range of major authors from the late Middle Ages to the eighteenth century, among them Luther, Bacon, Cervantes, Descartes, Hobbes, Pascal, La Rochefoucauld, Swift, and Rousseau. Farrell shows how differently paranoid psychology looks at different historical junctures with different models of agency, and in the epilogue, "Paranoia and Postmodernism," he draws the implications for recent critical debates in the humanities.

Download or read book The Confessions of Saint Augustine written by Saint Augustine and published by Aegitas. This book was released on 2024-05-17 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Confessions of Saint Augustine is an autobiographical work that chronicles the spiritual journey of one of the most influential figures in the history of Christianity. Written in the early 5th century by Saint Augustine, a Bishop of Hippo in North Africa, this book is considered a classic of Christian literature and a cornerstone of Western philosophy. The book is divided into 13 books, each representing a different phase in Augustine's life and spiritual development. It is written in the form of a prayer, with Augustine addressing his confessions to God, seeking forgiveness and understanding. Through his honest and introspective writing, Augustine reveals his inner struggles, doubts, and triumphs, providing readers with a rare glimpse into the mind of a saint. The first nine books focus on Augustine's early life, starting with his childhood in North Africa and his education in rhetoric and philosophy. He describes his search for truth and meaning in life, which leads him down a path of worldly desires, including a long-term relationship with a woman and his involvement in the Manichean religion. These experiences ultimately leave him feeling unfulfilled and questioning the purpose of life. In the tenth book, Augustine recounts his conversion to Christianity, which marks a turning point in his life and the beginning of his spiritual journey. He describes his encounter with God through a vision of a child, which inspires him to abandon his previous lifestyle and embrace a life of devotion to God. The remaining books focus on Augustine's struggles to overcome his human desires and achieve spiritual enlightenment, including his struggles with the concept of time, his understanding of the nature of God, and his interpretation of the Bible. Throughout the text, Augustine reflects on the philosophical and theological questions that have troubled him, such as the origin of evil and the relationship between faith and reason. He also shares his profound insights into human nature, morality, and the human desire for God. His writing is marked by a deep sense of humility, as he openly admits his flaws and sins and seeks forgiveness from God. The Confessions of Saint Augustine is not only a spiritual autobiography but also a profound theological and philosophical work. It is a testament to the power of divine grace and the transformative nature of faith. By sharing his personal journey, Augustine invites readers to reflect on their own lives and their relationship with God. This book continues to resonate with readers of all backgrounds and beliefs, making it a timeless masterpiece of literature.

Download or read book The Cure of Souls written by R. J. Rushdoony and published by Chalcedon Foundation. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypocrisy replaces virtue when men cover their sins rather than confess them to God. This is all too common when men do not preach and practice a Biblical doctrine of confession. The challenge is first to restore the meaning of confession as taught in the Scriptures. As long as confession is seen as a Romanist doctrine, we have no hope of recovering this vital aspect of Christianity. In this path-breaking volume R. J. Rushdoony examines the Biblical teaching on confession and sets it over against the errors of Romanism and the neo-Freudianism of modern Christian counseling. Despite the subject matter this book is remarkably readable and is sure to empower both clergy and laity as they discover the powerful tool of Biblical confession.

Download or read book Called Out of Darkness written by Anne Rice and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first memoir from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Interview with a Vampire—a "very affecting story of a well-known prodigal’s return ... [a] vivid, engaging tale of the journey of a soul into light” (Chicago Sun-Times). Anne Rice was raised in New Orleans as the devout child in a deeply religious Irish Catholic family. Here, she describes how, as she grew up, she lost her belief in God, but not her desire for a meaningful life. She used her novels—beginning with Interview with a Vampire—to wrestle with otherworldly themes while in her own life, she experienced both loss (the death of her daughter and, later, her beloved husband, Stan Rice) and joys (the birth of her son, Christopher). And she writes about how, finally, after years of questioning, she experienced the intense conversion and re-embracing of her faith that lie behind her most recent novels about the life of Christ.
