Download or read book A GRIEF OBSERVED Based on a Personal Journal written by C. S. Lewis and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-12-29 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Grief Observed is a collection of Lewis's reflections on the experience of bereavement following the death of his wife, Joy Davidman, in 1960. The book was first published under the pseudonym N.W. Clerk as Lewis wished to avoid identification as the author. Though republished in 1963 after his death under his own name, the text still refers to his wife as "H" (her first name, which she rarely used, was Helen). The book is compiled from the four notebooks which Lewis used to vent and explore his grief. He illustrates the everyday trials of his life without Joy and explores fundamental questions of faith and theodicy. Lewis's step-son (Joy's son) Douglas Gresham points out in his 1994 introduction that the indefinite article 'a' in the title makes it clear that Lewis's grief is not the quintessential grief experience at the loss of a loved one, but one individual's perspective among countless others. The book helped inspire a 1985 television movie Shadowlands, as well as a 1993 film of the same name. Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was a British novelist, poet, academic, medievalist, lay theologian and Christian apologist. He is best known for his fictional work, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, such as Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.

Download or read book The Human Addictions written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Matcas. This book was released on 1901 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans always seek pleasure, humans venerate pleasure, but are humans sentient, or feelers by nature, the way science depicts them? Because if humans are defined as feelers, and if they are expected to behave as feelers, then this remains their meaning in life and in the world, always to feel good, to feel everything, and to live life feeling the best, even addicted. Yet as you notice, humans excel at reasoning the most, and not mainly at feeling, which describes more the animal kingdom. Pleasure is very good, and it is better than pain, yet there is a difference between feeling and reasoning. Because reasoning is more about mastering life and the world, while feeling is about celebrating these. Yet even this statement is insufficient, because feelings are not even abilities within your cognitive system, but feelings are only meant to signal needs and their fulfillment, rewarding or punishing you depending on circumstances. While reasoning is your main cognitive ability, and you should treasure it accordingly. This lack of understanding makes a difference, because if you happen to live your life valuing feelings, including your good feelings, more than your actual human abilities, including all your cognitive abilities, then feelings, and pleasure in special, remain your focus and meaning in life. And with the multitude of artificial sources of pleasure that society offers, good luck to you, because it is only a matter of time before you too become addicted. Since as we notice throughout the book, becoming addicted is not only an error of judgment that you make while trying to feel good in life as everyone else, it is not only a social constraint subduing you as everyone else, but addiction is integral part of the normal natural process of your cognitive system, and it is even used by your subconscious intelligence in various circumstances, in order to render you always eager to fulfill specific highly important activities in life, as it is the case with your natural need for reproduction. You have to comprehend society as it is, because once you are addicted, you become weak, predictable, and controllable, and this is how others take over your living and social niche, to exploit you. While you end up struggling with family problems, finance problems, and health problems, ever after. Would you like to be able to manage your life, your thinking, and your behavior? Then you have to be able to manage your feelings first. And you may do so not forcefully and not directly, since you are not a mechanism, but you can manage your feelings only by learning everything about your feelings, needs, development, addictions, intelligences, reasoning, behavior, society, Life, the world, and your meaning and place in Life and in the world. This book creates an entire model of the human addictions, which is still easy to read, teaching you everything about drugs and how they work, about pleasure and how it controls you, and about the world and how it interacts with you before and during addictions. If you want to learn more about addictions, consequences, and withdrawal, this book is for you.

Download or read book The Book of Joy written by Dalai Lama and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

Book excerpt: From @wilderpoetry comes a heavily expanded revised edition of Nocturnal, a collection of poetry and beautifully illustrated black-and-white imagery inspired by darkened days and sleepless nights.

Download or read book Discipleship Secularity and the Modern Self written by Judith A. Merkle SNDdeN and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judith A. Merkle examines the situation of Christian spirituality today, in a secular age, through the images of dance, silence, and music. Drawing on the work of Charles Taylor as well as core aspects of the tradition of Christian theology on discipleship, Merkle asks how these new conditions affect the practice of Christianity as modern discipleship. The author calls God the music maker. She argues that response to the reality of God can be captured through the image of dance. Merkle reminds us that people in secular society connect to God in diverse ways, not in the least through the call of creation and the call of conscience. She explores discipleship as a lens through which we can understand how a community of faith, service, prayer, worship, and sacramentality can be viewed and integrated in daily life. She emphasizes how the interconnection between prayer, Eucharist, and a believing community is inseparable from the dance of discipleship as it can be lived in secular society. The image of dancing to silent music is a powerful symbol of Christian religious experience in modern times.
