We live in a culture that denies and derides peak spiritual experiences, yet this 'macho' mentality only weakens us by cutting off the creative and magical half of ourselves. In this absorbing book, Joseph Felser, centres his argument around a richly imagined re-interpretation of the biblical story of Eve and shows that it is precisely these peak experiences that allow us to unleash our creative potential and transform our lives. Felser, a professor of philosophy, argues against what he calls 'Answerism' - the dogma of cultural and religious traditions that retain power by claiming to have all the answers. Instead, Felser insists we must, like the biblical Eve, find the courage to question all that we have been told by the duly established authorities. We must learn to trust ourselves and heed the voice of our own direct experience of life. Felser teaches philosophy at Kingsborough College in New York City, is an editorial advisor to the journal Exceptional Human Experience and is the author of numerous articles on religion, myth and the paranormal.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Paradise is not the state of being in harmony, but the process of harmonizing. It is not a garden of bliss, but the bliss of gardening.Paradise is about mending the self, restoring the balance, getting back into tune, bringing all our discarded and forgotten parts into the whole. That means paying attention to and honoring synchronicities, precognitive dreams, telepathic communications, visions--and all manner of experiences of psychic sensitivity.Philosophy professor Joe Felser realized that what he calls the decrepit, decaying cultural ideologies, in exclusively favoring reason and logic, were excluding the equally real world of magic and psychic activities. He began to investigate, and the closer he looked, the more he found.But he wasn't ready to abandon the world of reason and logic. Instead, he wanted to see if he could find a way to blend the two.He did. The result is this book. In The Way Back to Paradise, Felser takes you through his day, showing what everyday life looks like when you live that blend. His stories, both magical and reasonable, point the way toward a new kind of paradise, one suited to the 21st century. Codice articolo 00104878341
