Form Versus Content
Author: Kenneth Wapnick
Publisher: Foundation for a Course in Miracles
ISBN: 9781591421948
Category : Course in Miracles
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
The near-universal preoccupation with the issues of sex and money can be traced to the ego's agenda concealed in our minds¿specifically, its plan to keep us rooted in the body and the world so we will never get to the real source of pain and conflict, which is the mind's decision to sustain the separation from God, but not be held responsible for it. In the context of the ego's principles and its doctrine of specialness and separate interests, both sex and money can be seen as behavioral forms that give expression to the content of our minds. The focus in this book, therefore, is on identifying the content that gives rise to the guilt, conflict, myths, and obsession associated with sex and money. Forgiveness enables us to shift our attention from the complexity of behavior to the simplicity of purpose. Thus sex and money, which have come to express the ego's guilt-inducing thought system of one or the other, are transformed in purpose to reflect the Holy Spirit's healing principle of together, or not at all.

Critique of Everyday Life
Author: Henri Lefebvre
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1781683190
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1020
Book Description
Henri Lefebvre’s magnum opus: a monumental exploration of contemporary society. Henri Lefebvre’s three-volume Critique of Everyday Life is perhaps the richest, most prescient work by one of the twentieth century’s greatest philosophers. Written at the birth of post-war consumerism, the Critique was a philosophical inspiration for the 1968 student revolution in France and is considered to be the founding text of all that we know as cultural studies, as well as a major influence on the fields of contemporary philosophy, geography, sociology, architecture, political theory and urbanism. A work of enormous range and subtlety, Lefebvre takes as his starting-point and guide the “trivial” details of quotidian experience: an experience colonized by the commodity, shadowed by inauthenticity, yet one which remains the only source of resistance and change. This is an enduringly radical text, untimely today only in its intransigence and optimism.
