Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Voice of Knowledge, Miguel Ruiz reminds us of a profound and simple truth: The only way to end our emotional suffering and restore our joy in living is to stop believing in lies — mainly about ourselves. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, this breakthrough book shows us how to recover our faith in the truth and return to our own common sense. Ruiz changes the way we perceive ourselves, and the way we perceive other people. Then he opens the door to a reality that we once perceived when we were one and two years old — a reality of truth, love, and joy. “We are born in truth, but we grow up believing in lies. . . . One of the biggest lies in the story of humanity is the lie of our imperfection.” — don Miguel Ruiz • From the international bestselling author of The Four Agreements • A New York Times bestseller • Over 300,000 copies sold in the U.S.
Download or read book Why Those Who Shovel Are Silent written by Allison Mickel and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 200 years, archaeological sites in the Middle East have been dug, sifted, sorted, and saved by local community members who, in turn, developed immense expertise in excavation and interpretation and had unparalleled insight into the research process and findings—but who have almost never participated in strategies for recording the excavation procedures or results. Their particular perspectives have therefore been missing from the archaeological record, creating an immense gap in knowledge about the ancient past and about how archaeological knowledge is created. Why Those Who Shovel Are Silent is based on six years of in-depth ethnographic work with current and former site workers at two major Middle Eastern archaeological sites—Petra, Jordan, and Çatalhöyük, Turkey—combined with thorough archival research. Author Allison Mickel describes the nature of the knowledge that locally hired archaeological laborers exclusively possess about artifacts, excavation methods, and archaeological interpretation, showing that archaeological workers are experts about a wide range of topics in archaeology. At the same time, Mickel reveals a financial incentive for site workers to pretend to be less knowledgeable than they actually are, as they risk losing their jobs or demotion if they reveal their expertise. Despite a recent proliferation of critical research examining the history and politics of archaeology, the topic of archaeological labor has not yet been substantially examined. Why Those Who Shovel Are Silent employs a range of advanced qualitative, quantitative, and visual approaches and offers recommendations for archaeologists to include more diverse expert perspectives and produce more nuanced knowledge about the past. It will appeal to archaeologists, science studies scholars, and anyone interested in challenging the concept of “unskilled” labor.
Download or read book With the Silent Knowledge written by Ray Elliott and published by . This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With The Silent Knowledge is a novel about the flawed prison system in the United States. Set in Southern Illinois in the early 1970s, the story follows one non-violent offender from his arrival at a maximum-security prison that incarcerates forgers to mass murderers through his release and for a short time during his parole, ostensibly to attend college. The main character is an extremely bright man who has been convicted for the third time for writing bad checks. He is revealed to be an alcoholic with a sociopathic personality, but his time in prison accomplishes nothing to help insure that he will behave any differently when released the next time. He takes college courses and edits the prison newspaper, but is in constant conflict with the powers that control and run the prison. Throughout the novel, it becomes apparent that he will only continue his deviant behavior and this negative cycle. Ultimately, it is a cautionary tale about a costly and over-crowded prison system that merely isolates criminals from society for a time but does little in the way of true rehabilitation - especially for non-violent offenders who would be better off receiving psychological and medical support instead of being placed among the most hardened and dangerous criminals.
Download or read book Silent Messengers written by Sven Dupré and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book speaks about a world of mute objects ranging from plant bulbs, divining rods, and archeological findings to drawn, painted, or printed images. It describes the functions of these objects as ambiguous and polyvalent carriers of knowledge, and it analyzes the ways in which networks of scholars, craftsmen, mathematicians, anatomy professors, or merchants active in the Low Countries attributed new meanings to them. The book examines a period in which cities like Antwerp and Amsterdam were nodal points in the international exchange of goods, news, and skills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: summary of THREE DOGMAS in MODERN PHILOSOPHY We call the principles of Subjectivism, Holism, and Descriptionalism, as the “three dogmas of modern philosophy”. We can see a complete structure of these dogmas in the “Wisdom-Library Theory”. It is an ideal kind of library that preserves, accumulates and evolves all the wisdom of mankind within the general form of language. However, first, even such a super-subject as the “Wisdom-Library” cannot exempt from the self-righteousness problem of the subject. Intending the whole consistency, it falls rather deeper into the problem. Second, there is much silence-wisdom that is never talked out, but supporting our daily lives, although such “Wisdom-Library” is not able to deal with it. Third, individual persons maintain the “Wisdom-Library” so partially that its whole consistency and direct development are never guaranteed. However, a ‘description’ does not depend on the correspondence with the reference, but on the same reaction of the listeners as the reference so that we are able to accept it sufficiently as a speech-act to change the action of the listeners as well as the described reference itself. Also, although the illusion as if there were the ‘whole’ wisdom somewhere should be denied indeed, yet we need to consider it moderately to understand the possibility of the (mis)understanding of the listeners. Furthermore, a ‘subject’ is not able to be the ground of all things, nevertheless, it is the status of the narrator as the owner of the authority and responsibility of the speech-act. And who judges an object is judged oneself about the personality of the judge-act. Then, trying to be judged ourselves by the whole world, we are able to show the whole world as a mirror inversely. summary of JUSTICE as FOLLY Reviving the “Methodical Contract Theory”, Rawls conceptualized ‘justice’ with “the ‘Fairness Principle”. It is valuable as a lodestar to solve our problem of the present age, namely the compatibility of contradicting liberty and equality. However, we cannot actually derive ‘justice’ from it because we have also the liberty not to comply it. Therefore, Rawls says that we need sanctions and compulsions against an ‘egoist’. However, if we do something under menace, is it able to be ‘justice’? Contrarily, if someone is not an ‘egoist’, namely if he/she does a ‘justice’, ignoring his/her own interest, then it is rather unnatural and irrational folly. There is “the Courage Principle” here that makes us true social-comrades. For this “Practical Contract”, people have to gamble themselves. Nevertheless, we do it because ‘justice’ is necessary for our own happiness.
Download or read book Sound Formations written by Rémy Bocquillon and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2022-07-31 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it possible to work with sound in sociology rather than being about sound? Can there be a »sonic sociology«? Rémy Bocquillon reflects on the process-oriented character of sociology as an experimental science by including aesthetic practices of sounding and listening as constitutive for the making of sociological theory. Following new materialist and speculative philosophies, this study is thus a combination of sociological theory, philosophical thought and aesthetic practices, not understood as discrete fields of inquiry, but co-constituting each other. It also features an audio chapter, »feeding-back« the sonic experimentations at the core of the research in new and engaging ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses a number of recent topics at the crossroad of philosophy and cognitive science, taking advantage of both the western and the eastern perspectives and conceptions that emerged and were discussed at the PCS2011 Conference recently held in Guangzhou. The ever growing cultural exchange between academics and intellectual belonging to different cultures is reverberated by the juxtaposition of papers, which aim at investigating new facets of crucial problems in philosophy: the role of models in science and the fictional approach; chance seeking dynamics and how affordances work; abductive cognition; visualization in science; the cognitive structure of scientific theories; scientific representation; mathematical representation in science; model-based reasoning; analogical reasoning; moral cognition; cognitive niches and evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Doña Bernadette Vigil, the working partner of don Miguel Ruiz and a fully initiated Nagual woman, reveals the authentic tradition of Toltec self-mastery. • Includes exercises from the ancient spiritual path that take the practitioner from Jaguar Knight and Eagle Knight through Nagual Master. • Provides a program of 11 Agreements for continuing the spiritual journey. The Toltec people of ancient Mexico possessed powerful knowledge, passed down secretly through generations of Naguals, that enabled them to achieve a remarkable psychic and spiritual balance. These spiritual warriors learned to discipline their thoughts and emotions, channeling their energy into unconditional love for themselves and others and transforming their world in the process. With the understanding of one who has walked the path, dona Bernadette Vigil--a full Nagual, or shaman, in the Toltec tradition--guides readers through the effective training techniques practiced by Toltec warriors for centuries. By following the practices of the spiritual warrior, readers will experience the amazing sense of peace and contentment that comes from finally breaking free from layers of self-limiting thoughts and fulfilling their true potential as human beings. More than a handbook for personal change, Mastery of Awareness challenges readers to transform the collective dream of the planet.
Download or read book Adult Development Therapy and Culture written by Gerald D. Young and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-02-28 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume proposes a theoretical integration of several major streams in contemporary psychological theory about adult development and therapy. It adopts the perspective that there are steps in development throughout the adult period, and that they are characterized by a union of the cognitive and affective, the self and the other, and idea with idea (in second-order collective abstractions). That is, they are at once postformal in terms of Piaget's theory, sociocultural in terms ofVygotsky's theory, and postmodern with the latter perspective providing an integrating theme. The affirmative, multivoiced, contextual, relational, other-sensitive side ofpostmodernism is emphasized. Levinas's philosophy of responsibility for the other is seen as congruent with this ethos. The neopiagetian model of development on which the current ap proach is based proposes that the last stage in development concerns collective intelligence, or postmodern, postformal thought. Kegan (1994) has attempted independently to describe adult development from the same perspective. His work on the development of the postmodern mind of the adult is groundbreaking and impressive in its depth. However, I ana lyze the limitations as well as the contributions of his approach, under scoring the advantages of my particular model.

Download or read book The Maya Book of Life written by Michael Owen and published by Kahurangi Press. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE MAYA BOOK OF LIFE: UNDERSTANDING THE XULTUN TAROT is the companion book to the Xultun Tarot Classic Edition. It explores the archetypes and alchemy of the major arcana of the Xultun Tarot through indigenous teachings and the analytical psychology of C G Jung and casts new light on the meaning of 2012. The Xultun Tarot was created by Peter Balin in 1976 based on images from Maya history and culture. Taken from a single painting, it is the only tarot deck where the major arcana form a complete picture. This picture is a symbolic image of the alchemical marriage of spirit and matter and a map of what Jung called the individuation process. Only 500 copies of the original Xultun Tarot were ever printed. Now Kahurangi Press (xultun.com) has recreated this classic, long out-of-print deck true to its original large size and vibrant colours together with a book that explains the profound symbolism of the cards. Michael Owen is a clinical psychologist in private practice and author of Jung and the Native American Moon Cycles. He lives in New Zealand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concepts of the Anthropocene and globalisation in our society and the changes that these are bringing about in education and human learning. The book argues that there needs to be reflexive approach to issues that affect the fate of the planet and the future of humans, brought about by an education that looks to the future. Wulf argues that a change in education and socialization can only succeed based on an understanding of previous educational ideas, and considers the significance of Confucianism and spiritual education that emerged in the East. The book traces key educational ideas throughout history to show how education and human knowledge are closely linked, highlighting the need for us to pay careful attention to repetition, mimesis and the imagination in learning. It shows how a future-oriented education must engage with issues of peace and violence, global citizenship and sustainable development. This timely and compelling book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and students in the fields of philosophy of education, the history and anthropology of education, sustainability education and global citizenship education
