Download or read book Rescued from Reality written by Henry Yates and published by . This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Trout is a giant of the blues-rock genre, and a survivor whose hell-and-back career is one of music's last great untold stories. Born March 6th, 1951, in Atlantic City, the guitarist and bandleader can look back on a half-century of musical triumphs, from his breakout as all-star sideman in '70s LA, through the '80s mayhem of Canned Heat and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, onto the solo career that thrives to this day. In modern times, Walter is a devoted husband and father-of-three. Yet few artists have walked a rockier road to enlightenment. Here, for the first time ever, Walter gives his own frank, unflinching and dazzlingly funny account of his chequered life and times. It's all here: the hits, misses, homelessness, death threats, deals-gone-bad, bust-ups and comedowns. Even when the spotlight turns onto darker subjects - the desperate trauma of his childhood, the demeaning depths of his addictions and the reality of his recent health issues - Walter speaks out with an honesty that will leave his fans with a deeper appreciation of the man and his art. Rescued From Reality is the result of 30-plus hours of interviews with Walter, and combines the bandleader's extraordinary testimony with never-before-seen photos from his personal archive. Equal parts thriller, romance, suspense and horror, it's a page-turner you won't be able to put down.
Download or read book Screened Out written by Jean Baudrillard and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Watching the president’s Christmas message produces this necropolar, white-mass sensation. Seeing the video broadcast of the Christmas service in the cathedral itself, with these pathetic screens and the young worshippers slumped around them here and there, you tell yourself that God and religion deserved better. Deserved to die, yes, but not this. However, watching the presidential figure and his sonorous inanity, you tell yourself that here at least you got what you deserved. Chirac is useless – that goes without saying – but so are we all ... Uselessness of this kind has no origin: it exists immediately, reciprocally; like a shared secret, you savour it implicitly – with its warm bitterness – particularly in these cold snaps, as the very essence of the social bond. Sanctioned by that other interactive uselessness – the uselessness of the screen.’ In this stimulating collection of journalistic essays, Jean Baudrillard delves into a host of subjects, ranging from those of his familiar stomping ground (virtual reality, Disney, television) to topics further afield, such as children’s rights, holocaust revisionism, AIDS, Formula One racing, mad cow disease and cloning. These intriguing articles demonstrate the true range of Baudrillard’s thought and the versatility of the concepts that founded his philosophy.

Book Synopsis Enlightenment to Enlightenment by : Henri Atlan
Download or read book Enlightenment to Enlightenment written by Henri Atlan and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-07-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a thorough and critical, comparative analysis of the logic of modern scientific thought and of traditional teachings generally referred to as mythological and mystical. Different rationalities with different domains of interest and legitimacy exist, which should not be confused and cannot be unified in any theory of "Ultimate Reality." Atlan suggests they must coexist in practice, although each of them presents itself as an exclusive and all-encompassing truth. The book introduces teachings from Jewish talmudic, midrashic, and kabbalist sources and text from Zen and Taoism to exemplify the kind of rationality or controlled irrationality at work in such traditional thinking.

Book Synopsis Working With Dreams by : Wolfgang Giegerich
Download or read book Working With Dreams written by Wolfgang Giegerich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the practice of working with dreams. Rather than presenting a general theory about dreams, it focuses on the dream as phenomenon and raises the question how we must look at dreams if our approach is supposed to be a truly psychological one. So far most essays on, and the practice of, Jungian dream interpretation have paradoxically centered around the person of the dreamer and not around the dream itself. Dreams were used as a means to understand the analysand and what is going on in him or her. Jung’s fundamental shift from his earlier person-based psychology and pre-alchemy stance to his mature soul-based psychology, informed by the hermetic logic of alchemy, has not been followed, which was already noted by Jung himself: "My later and more important work (as it seems to me) is still left untouched in its primordial obscurity." The present study is based decidedly on the stance of mature Jung and his very different views about dreams. His most crucial insights in this regard include that in dreams the soul speaks about itself (not about the dreamer), that the dream is its own interpretation and therefore needs to be circumambulated (rather than translated into the language of psychology and everyday life), and that dream images have everything they need within themselves (rather than needing associations from the dreamerʼs daily life). This book discusses in detail what all this means in practice and what it demands of the psychologist. A decisive transposition away from ordinary consciousness, a "crossing to the other side of the river," is required of the consciousness that wants to approach dreams psychologically. Numerous aspects of dreams and special questions that come up in working with dreams are discussed. At the end of this book our working with dreams is situated in the wider question of the psychological task in general by exploring Jungʼs insistence that psychology has to transcend the "consulting room," Hillman’s move "From mirror to window" and, in Plato’s parable, the revolutionary move out of, and return to, "the cave." While limited to the topic of dreams this book may also serve as an indirect introduction to an understanding of psychology as a "psychology with soul" (Jung) or as the discipline of interiority.

Book Synopsis Exploring Colossians:Living the New Reality by : Roy R. Jeal
Download or read book Exploring Colossians:Living the New Reality written by Roy R. Jeal and published by SBL Press. This book was released on 2024-11-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive, sociorhetorical interpretation of Colossians, Roy R. Jeal explores the letter’s portrayal of the grand vision that extends from the realm of God before the creation of the cosmos to the new reality and new culture of the life of fullness in Christ. The commentary analyzes the pictures the text evokes in the human visual imagination, identifies the persuasive modes of discourse in the letter, and evaluates the range of textures that interweave to produce the dynamic rhetorical argument of Colossians. Demands to conform to “empty deceitful philosophy, human tradition, and the elements of the world” rather than to Christ are irrelevant for believers who have been transferred from darkness to the light of the Son of God’s kingdom. The rhetoric of the letter moves believers to ideologies of living in the body of Christ where orderly behavior guided by love contrasts with the chaotic, self-indulgent, divisive uncertainties of Mediterranean existence.
