Book excerpt: Judith Butler's new book considers the way in which psychic life is generated by the social operation of power, and how that social operation of power is concealed and fortified by the psyche that it produces.

Download or read book Reinventing the Soul written by Mari Ruti and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential reading for scholars and students in critical theory, psychoanalysis, and gender studies. How does the self care for itself in the posthumanist era? What psychic processes might allow the postmodern subject to find meaning and value in its life? Is it possible to delineate a theory of psychic potentiality that is compatible with poststructuralist models of fluid, decentered, and polyvalent subjectivity? Reinventing the Soul offers a new perspective on what it means to be a human being and to strive in the world despite the wounding effects of the socialization process. Drawing on the rich legacies of French poststructuralism and Lacanian psychoanalysis, Ruti builds an affirmative alternative to the post-Foucaultian tendency to envision subjectivity as a function of hegemonic systems of power. She proposes that the subject's encounter with the world also necessarily activates the psyche's innovative potential. By focusing on matters of creative agency, imaginative empowerment, inner metamorphosis, and self-actualization, Ruti outlines some of the mechanisms by which the psyche manages not only to survive its lack, alienation, or suffering, but also to transform its abjection into an existentially livable reality. Central to Ruti's argument is the idea that human beings relate to the world in active rather than merely passive ways—as dynamic creators of meaning rather than as powerless dupes of disciplinary power.

Download or read book Are You Psychic written by Hans Holzer and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever had an old tune pop into your head, only to turn on the radio and hear it being played? Or think of someone you haven’t seen for years, only to answer the phone and hear that person on the line? Is it coincidence or is it something more? If you have ever wondered if you might be psychic, this book may hold the answer to this most intriguing question. As you will see, everybody has some psychic ability. For some people, the ability might be as mild as intuition; for others, it might be as strong as mediumship; but it all falls under the category of that “sixth sense.” Are You Psychic? is a fascinating and revealing look at our extrasensory powers. Author and professor of parapsychology Dr. Hans Holzer explores all the various forms of the psychic experience—foretelling the future, interpreting psychic feelings, thought transference, and past-life memories, among others. He explains, in clear and understandable language, what they are, how they work, and what you can do to develop your own inner abilities. He delves into the history of psychic abilities; discusses the psychic experiences of dreams, déjà vu, and out-of-body experience; and shows how natural healing can be a form of the human psychic ability. Throughout the book, Dr. Holzer gives examples of real-life psychic phenomena that illustrate how these powers work—and demonstrate that they are very real. If you are one of those people who have had their fair share of those “funny coincidences,” maybe it’s time to find out more. Maybe it’s time to answer the question you have asked yourself a hundred times—Are You Psychic?

Book excerpt: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, NPR, The Atlantic, Electric Lit, Thrillist, LitHub, Kirkus Reviews • A witty, intelligent novel of an American woman on the edge, by a brilliant new voice in fiction—“the glorious love child of Ottessa Moshfegh and Sally Rooney” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) “[A] jewel of a debut . . . abundantly satisfying.”—Jia Tolentino, The New Yorker As an adjunct professor of English in New York City with little hope of finding a permanent position, Dorothy feels “like a janitor in the temple who continued to sweep because she had nowhere else to be but who had lost her belief in the essential sanctity of the enterprise.” No one but her boyfriend knows that she’s just had a miscarriage—not her mother, her best friend, or her therapists (Dorothy has two of them). She wasn’t even sure she wanted to be a mother. So why does Dorothy feel like a failure?

Mordant and remorselessly wise, this jewel of a debut cuts incisively into life as we live it, and how we think of it.

Download or read book Dowse Your Way to Psychic Power written by Anthony Talmage and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE FIRST BOOK OF ITS KIND We all have a sixth sense. When we activate it we become superhuman. We are clairvoyant, telepathic, can find lost objects, can talk to our pets, heal disease, travel through time and talk with the angels. We become partners with our Spirit Guides and our lives become a daily adventure. Meaningful co-incidences happen which steer us on a path to our true destiny. SKILL OF THE ANCIENTS Psychic abilities are not confined to a gifted few - we all have them and they are just waiting to be set free. This book takes us in simple, methodical steps on a journey to Extra Sensory Perception. There are many books on psychic development but this is the first to employ a unique short-cut - the art of dowsing. It has been discovered that this ancient skill is a portal to psychic power. And the other thing that is different within these pages is that you will have practical proof that your psychic abilities are awakening. The dowsing tools will move in your hand, seemingly of their own volition. When this happens you know the old you is changing and a new you, complete with a growing sixth sense, is coming into being. MONKS TAKE YEARS - DOWSERS HOURS It is a fact that the brains of some experienced diviners enter as deep an altered state within seconds as that attained by Buddhist monks who have spent years of dedication and discipline to learn the skill. By following the instructions in these pages we learn BOTH the art of divining AND how to unlock our mystical powers. ENTERING THE UNIVERSE NEXT DOOR On our journey together we encounter angels, spirit guides, elementals, ghosts, poltergeists and entities that dwell in other dimensions. We look at precognition, retro-cognition, trance states, possession, past lives and re-incarnation. And as we travel we enter new dimensions which will change our lives.
