Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Eastern Thought
This book explores the convergence of psychoanalysis and Asian thought. It explores key theoretical issues. What role does paradox play in psychological transformations? How can the oriental emphasis on attaining "no-self" be reconciled with the western emphasis on achieving an integrated self? The book also inquires into pragmatic questions concerning the nature of psychological change and the practice of psychotherapy. The Taoist I Ching is explored as a framework for understanding the therapeutic process. Principles from martial arts philosophy and strategy are applied to clinical work. Combining theoretical analyses, case studies, empirical data, literary references, and anecdotes, this book is intended for researchers as well as clinicians, and beginning students as well as scholars.
The Itofit
Three children become lost in the woods where they encounter a creature from the fabulous land of It who soon leads them on the adventure of a lifetime. The Itofit is a fantasy tale about three curious children who, after getting lost in the woods, meet a creature named It from the land of It. The Itofit is also lost. He cannot remember much from the past, and is trying to find his way back home. It is a perfect day for an adventure, so the children decide to help the Itofit, and together they all embark on a magical journey through woods, and swamps, and the amazing land of It. En route, they encounter strange opinionated and kooky characters, some of whom are quite horrific. Beside the Itofit and the children, are buoyant Baloomerangs who float on air, and curious Snigglesnorfs who sniggle - not to mention a dreadful district inquisitor, and the Durjge Dorque, both riding evil vegetable monsters. These devious people tangle with the children, leading them off into a series of adventures and misadventures.

Le Spirou de ... - Tome 8 - La grosse tête
Fantasio est un cachottier : depuis des années, il consigne, avec force détails, toutes les aventures qu'il a vécues avec Spirou. Mais là, il a décidé de passer à la vitesse supérieure et, sur base de ses souvenirs de La mauvaise tête, il s'isole pour écrire un roman. Le livre sort et Spirou est un peu surpris par son contenu. Visiblement, Fantasio a gonflé son propre rôle. Premier petit accroc entre les deux amis. Mais Spirou relativise : après tout, ils ont bien le droit d'avoir des souvenirs légèrement différents de cette aventure. Le livre est un bide mais un producteur de films veut absolument l'adapter au cinéma. Fantasio est fou de joie, Spirou nettement moins enthousiaste. Mais le scénario est retravaillé pour donner un rôle beaucoup plus important à Spirou, au grand dam de Fantasio. Le film est un immense succès et Spirou devient une star, alors que Fantasio végète dans un relatif anonymat. Quand débute le tournage du deuxième film à l'étranger, Spirou et Fantasio sont devenus quasiment des étrangers l'un pour l'autre. Mais la révolution bretzelburgeoise va redistribuer complètement les rôles...
Religiöse Visionen
Eine Frau sieht in einem Zirkus, wie der Himmel sich öffnet und wie sich Engel hinter jeden Zuschauer stellen. Ein Mann sieht abends im Bett mit einem Mal einen Bildschirm vor sich und hört Gottes Stimme, die sagt: "Fürchte dich nicht. Hab keine Angst. Sei unbesorgt." Solche religiöse Visionen werden oft als psychiatrische Phänomene betrachtet und entsprechend behandelt. Dass visionäres Erleben jedoch auch im spirituellen Kontext auftreten kann und Hinweise darauf bestehen, dass sie ein grosses Transformationspotential in sich bergen, wird dabei übersehen. Im vorliegenden Buch werden religiöse Visionen von PsychiatriepatientInnen und gesunden Personen hinsichtlich ihrer Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede untersucht. Dabei zeigen sich deutliche Unterschiede im visionären Erleben, aber auch im lebensgeschichtlichen Hintergrund der beiden Vergleichsgruppen, ihrem Umgang mit den visionären Erfahrungen und den darauf folgenden Veränderungen im täglichen Leben. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie mit visionären Erfahrungen umgegangen werden kann und welches Potential sie in sich bergen können.
Early Ryukyuan History
The Ryukyu islands have been inhabited by humans for over 30,000 years. Their modern population, however, did not come from stone-age ancestors, nor did distinctive forms of Ryukyuan culture, such as sacred groves or stone-walled castles, emerge from within the islands. Instead, different groups of people lived in the Ryukyu islands at various points in history. Starting with the earliest extant human remains and ending with the formation of a centralized state in the early 1500s, Early Ryukyuan History traces the people, culture, technologies, goods, and networks that entered different parts of Ryukyu over time. In the process, it synthesizes decades of research in archaeology and anthropol...
The Dark Side of Dharma
The Dark Side of Dharma explores some of the possible undesirable side effects - also known as 'adverse effects' - of meditation and mindfulness. Researcher Anna Lutkajtis investigates why these effects, which are well-known in spiritual and religious traditions, have been ignored in contemporary secular contexts, such as Western psychology.Lutkajtis' research reveals that while meditation is commonly portrayed as a practice that is overwhelmingly positive, a growing number of research studies and anecdotal reports suggest that meditation can also have negative effects. Some meditators believe that these adverse effects are a normal part of the contemplative path and a welcome sign of progre...
Walking the Dream: Zen talks on the Shobogenzo
The Augusto I know has many manifestations. Martial Arts master and motorcyclist, Chinese medicine practitioner and indigenous peoples' activist, Zen roshi and jester, musician and writer. I think of a story told about the Buddha. Buddha and Ananda were walking. Buddha asked Ananda, "do you know the essence of my teaching?" Ananda, said, "The essence of your teaching is the Eightfold Path." "No, it is not," Buddha said. Surprised, Ananda tried again and again. Buddha said, "No, it is not." "Please reveal the ultimate truth to me. I will remember and pass it on to everyone who will listen." "I hereby trust the ultimate truth of my teaching to you. It is this: Be a friend. There is no greater attainment in this life or lives to come than to be a friend." During the twenty years I have known Augusto, through good times and bad, he has always been my friend. In this book of translations and commentaries, you will find he is your friend, too.
