Welcome to a special installment of the Lectern Q&A! This month's theme is Love as a Virtue and Existential Stance. This session dives into the nature of love—not just as a feeling, but as a participatory, person-making virtue that binds us to reality and each other. Joining John and Ethan is Ellie, who brings both a deeply reflective presence and insightful contributions to this exploration. Lectern Q&As are a monthly gathering where John and Ethan take questions from The Lectern's members, threading through important themes that are most pertinent and perplexing to the collective.

Access the full episode here: https://www.patreon.com/4ndrewpledgerIn this bonus Patreon episode of 'Beyond BJU: Exposing Fundamentalism,' I continue my exploration of authoritarian power by delving deeper into different manifestations and societal impacts. Building on insights from 'The Guru Papers: Masks of Authoritarian Power,' I discuss how authoritarianism thrives in times of uncertainty, leading people to surrender their critical thinking for a sense of safety and belonging. I examine the regressive appeal of political conservatism, religious fundamentalism, and other forms of extremism. I also touch on contemporary examples, such as Trumpism and the rise of authoritarian Christian nationalist agendas. Drawing from 'Escape from Freedom' by Eric Fromm, I provide historical context on how societies have grappled with authority and freedom. The episode elaborates on the dangerous dynamics of control and surrender in authoritarian systems and the importance of fostering self-trust to resist such influences.Thank you to my Patreon supporters who allow me to do this work!JOIN MY PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/4ndrewpledgerFacebook Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1153866318625322/My Substack: https://speakingupandrewpledger.substack.com/Linktree: https://andrewpledger.mypixieset.com/links-Music: https://www.purple-planet.com*Some audio is regenerated by AI because of mispronunciations and/or recording issues Hosted on Acast.

Send us a Text Message.Spacemen, we've let you down. I mean, not really, but sort of. We weren't there for you last week when you needed us most. But we, like many people, have limits and have to take vacations from time to time. We're back though, and everything will once again be aligned in the spaceiverse. As you will hear, Rob was absent on this episode. But it's a good one anyway. Today, we talk about how we can learn to love. Matt and Mike talk about the book 'The Art of Loving' by Eric Fromm and the four main components of love: care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge. More specifically, they talk about respect, care, self-growth, and vulnerability. I mean, did you really think we'd have an episode in which we didn't talk about vulnerability? So, get ready to learn...to love...and to laugh. Put that on your wall. You're welcome. Keywordslove, relationships, care, responsibility, respect, knowledge, effort, understanding, self-growth, vulnerability, relationships, tolerance, sacrifice, well-being, love, acceptance, personal growthTakeawaysLove requires active concern for the well-being and growth of the person we love.Responsibility in love means being willing to respond and take action in service of the other person's well-being.Respect involves fully seeing and understanding the other person, allowing them space to develop on their own terms.Knowledge in love means deeply understanding the other person's inner workings and being able to interpret their actions and emotions.Love is both an art and a science, requiring effort and understanding.The component of love that is often missing or misunderstood is subjective and can vary depending on the individual and the relationship.

I met with Jon Rees, another TOK Teacher (as well as teacher of Human Technologies and IB English) here in Hong Kong, and we discussed TOK Exhibition Prompt 23: How important are material tools in the production or acquisition of knowledge? It was a fascinating discussion! Students, you need to be careful in this question about the difference between producing knowledge and producing things. While there is a connection (knowledge is needed to produce things), it is not an obvious connection so an exploration of the knowledge being produced (not just the thing) is required here. I think it would be very hard to argue that material tools (and conceptual tools by extension?) are not essential - and yet there's room for exploration as you can hear from our conversation. I hope to talk with Mr. Rees again soon, as it was a very interesting and thought provoking conversation. Books & Resources that we referenced and discussed in relation to this talk (for links to all of these, check out www.TOKTalk.org): ‘Sapiens' by Yuval Noah Harari - this book is essentially an exploration of the role of material tools in the development of humankind, but is especially interesting when he talks about “fictional realities”. ‘Techno Feudalism' by Yanis Varoufakis - he does a great job from a Marxist perspective explaining how his father taught him the concept of historical materialism, how technological development creates the tools/conditions for the advancement of the socio-cultural context. Then who controls the means of production, power/authority. ‘How to Understand E= MC2' by Christophe Galfard ‘The Sane Society' by Eric Fromm - criticism of our focus on consumption in a nuclear age where we can annihilate ourselves ‘Song of the Cell' by Siddhartha Mukherjee - deep exploration of our understanding of biology - the first chapters are specifically focused on development of the microscope and its influence on the entire field of microbiology and beyond ‘Guns Germs Steel' by Jared Diamond outlines the theory of geographic determinism, and thus the access to materials and the tools we can therefore make are everything in the development of humankind ‘Knowledge Illusion' by Steven Sloman and Philip Fernbach - the illusion of explanatory depth, mistaking shared knowledge for our own Justice with Michael Sandel Little Museum of the World in Chai Wan - A time machine for building peace ‘The Vanishing Face of Gaia', by James Lovelock - essential wake-up call for humankind ‘Donut Economics' by Kate Raworth - a hopeful perspective!

You can't really love anyone until you love yourself. While we see this a lot on Instagram, it's something that actually requires a lot of exploration – and it's my guest this week, the bestselling author and mind coach Vex King, that many of us have turned to over the past few years to teach us the true power of self-love, through his books, first in 2018's Good Vibes, Good Life and later in 2021's Healing is the New High. Now, Vex is back with his new title – Closer To Love – an essential guide to bringing those lessons into dating and romantic relationships. In this episode, he shares a little sample platter of that wisdom. We discuss everything from how Vex's difficult upbringing made him the person he is today - how he's navigated what he calls the verb, or action, that is love, in his own relationship with his wife. Finally, a fresh approach to self-love: how to demonstrate it to yourself through actions, and how to self-love if you're looking for a relationship but haven't found one yet. We discuss, among other things:Vex's understanding of love as something that exists ‘within you' [5:31]How self-love can help us identify healthy relationship dynamics [7:58]‘Healing' in a relationship versus outside of a relationship [15:25]The distinction between ‘mature' and ‘immature' love [25:32]How to show yourself love through your actions [30:30]Vex's journey towards self-acceptance after being bullied for his voice [40:23]Why daily meditation is Vex's alonement [48:02]Cultural references from our conversation:The concept of immature versus mature love, originating in Eric Fromm's book The Art of Loving‘Knowing how to be solitary is central to the art of loving', a quote from bell hooks' All About Love‘You can't heal what you don't reveal', from the song ‘Kill Jay-Z' by Jay-ZYou can purchase all of Vex King's books from Vexking.comSubscribe to my weekly email newsletter at francescaspecter.substack.com to follow my personal writing plus podcast bonus content.You can also order my book, Alonement: How To Be Alone and Absolutely Own It, which is based on this very podcast, now from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.Thank you so much to WestLab for sponsoring this season of the podcast.

L'Amour, on en parle beaucoup, autour de nous, dans les livres, les films et les chansons, mais qu'est-ce donc que l'Amour? Que signifie aimer et être aimé?

Os atos terroristas de 08 de janeiro de 2023 em Brasília, com invasão e depredação das sedes dos 3 poderes, levaram à prisão de centenas de bolsonaristas que há tempos se manifestavam incitando um golpe militar, até que passaram às vias de fato. Tais acontecimentos acenderam um alerta para este fenômeno tão complexo que vem assolando tanta gente: o extremismo de direita, que no Brasil apresenta a peculiaridade de se concentrar em boa parte nos idosos e idosas. Num primeiro momento alvo de piadas e memes, o fanatismo dessa verdadeira seita cada vez mais preocupa pelo caráter duradouro que parece ter alcançado em tanta gente, afetando de forma profunda tantas famílias em nosso país. Como podemos tentar entendê-los? E em que soluções podemos pensar? Quem nos ajuda nessa reflexão é Rudá Ricci, cientista político com doutorado em Ciências Sociais e especialista em Educação.

Should we give up the dream of certainty? Looking for a link we mentioned? It's here: https://linktr.ee/philosophyforourtimesWe look for certainty to know where we are, to feel safe. Descartes founded modern Western philosophy on the search for certainty. And in our daily lives we have institutions to create the illusion of certainty, marriage in the precarious world of relationships, schools and universities in the world of knowledge. For psychologists tell us that uncertainty is one of the strongest predictors of distress. Yet certainty is also the enemy of progress and change, and as Eric Fromm argued 'The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning'. To be certain is to have ended enquiry, to have called a halt to the new and the original, to have in a sense already died.Should we recognise the pursuit of certainty in our personal lives, in our pursuit of knowledge, and in religion and philosophy is destined to fail? Should we instead welcome, even encourage, the uncertain and the unknown as a vehicle for growth and potential? Or without the safety of the known are we all lost?Distinguished philosophy professor Simon Blackburn, maverick post post-modern philosopher Hilary Lawson and ground-breaking philosopher of value Ruth Chang question whether we can be certain about anything.

To hunt is to engage the opposites: the hunter must attune and align with nature in order to kill part of it. According to mythographer Joseph Campbell, “the basic hunting myth is of a kind of covenant between the animal world and the human world.” Myth and rituals of sympathy, sacrifice, and gratitude honor the age-old bond between man and animal: one dies so the other may live. If the hunter imposes will alone, hunting becomes ego dominance--sport or slaughter. In traversing the realms from human culture to nature's archaic terrain, the huntsman echoes and honors the relationship between ego consciousness and the unconscious. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear...they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth. -Henry Beston Dream My extended family were in the process of relocating to a city named Boreham Wood in Tunisia (I checked, it doesn't exist). It was a sort of fairytale paradise, blue skies, palm trees and low-standing terracotta houses. They asked me to help with the move by driving my grandma's electric scooter from Scotland through the desert. Strapped to the sides were two bags filled only with ice and rum. Once I arrived at the new house, I unloaded the alcohol but immediately felt the urge to leave and explore the area. it was clear my family wanted to celebrate my highly anticipated arrival but I knew couldn't stay. instead, I took the scooter and drove into town, winding through the cobbled streets, past gothic arches and flocks of tropical birds. As I approached the city center a large, dark castle rose in the skyline. At the gates a young woman was weaving mushrooms from a hook to sell to tourists. I stopped and watched her but didn't buy anything. I parked the scooter and entered the castle gates. The courtyard was bustling with young families eating lunch from long tables. I wandered around until I stumbled upon a group of disheveled looking men dressed in grey robes and animal furs. They didn't pay me much attention but I was fascinated, and struck up a conversation with what appeared to be the leader. He explained that they were a tour group from America called Warriors of The Soul that had been doing annual trips to Boreham Wood since 1992. I could see they had self-inflicted cuts all over their arms, some openly bleeding onto the table. He (the leader) explained that they were mostly vets, recovering addicts and environmental protesters who were on a journey of healing together. I asked the leader if I could spend the day with him and was immediately invited back to a tower in the castle to see his studio. We left the group and walked to the base of the tower, from there we climbed a seemingly endless spiral staircase, dilapidated and strewn with trash bags. I remember taking note of the exit signs. Once at the top I was ushered into the studio. It was dark, cold and filled with primitive paintings made from human blood. He drew his knife and explained that the canvases were waxed paper, as that allowed the blood to move more freely across the surface, unlike regular paper, which is far too absorbent. He then asked if I would donate blood for his next painting. At that point I noticed a dead body under the drawing desk and tried to move the conversation back to the wax paper. I asked if the toxins were harmful if used when baking. This seemed to work, as he began extolling that yes, never use wax paper when baking. At this point I turned on my heels and ran back down the stairs, bounding three at a time. He sprinted after me, brandishing the knife and laughing. I knew I'd be safe if I got to the exit signs but they didn't appear. Instead, the staircase began to climb again, twisting and turning like a rabbit warren. He started gaining on me and nicked my thumb with the knife but eventually I came to a window with a Brooklyn-style fire escape. I smashed the glass and shimmied down the ladder, my legs and thumb bleeding. As I descended, he laughed at me continuously. Once on the ground I ran back to the scooter, only to realize I didn't know how to get home. I couldn't call because I didn't have my phone and I couldn't buy bandages for my cuts as I didn't have a wallet. Then I awoke. References Anna Braytenback, Animal Communicator.

In 1930, after four years as lecturer in social philosophy at Frankfurt, he was named director of the university's newly founded Institute for Social Research. Under his leadership, the institute attracted an extraordinarily talented array of philosophers and social scientists—including Theodor Adorno (1903–69), Eric Fromm (1900–80), Leo Löwenthal (1900–93), Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979), and Franz Neumann (1900–54)—who (along with Horkheimer) came to be known collectively as the Frankfurt School. Horkheimer also served as editor of the institute's literary organ, Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung (“Journal for Social Research”), which published pathbreaking studies in political philosophy and cultural analysis from 1932 to 1941.The institute's first study in this vein, “Authority and the Family,” was still incomplete when the Nazi seizure of power forced most members of the institute to flee Germany in 1933. Horkheimer moved to New York City, where he reestablished the institute and its journal at Columbia University. Throughout the remainder of the decade, he sought to keep the flame of critical theory burning by writing a number of programmatic essays for the Zeitschrift. Among the most influential of these works was “Traditional and Critical Theory” (1937), in which he contrasted what he considered the socially conformist orientation of traditional political philosophy and social science with the brand of critical Marxism favoured by the institute. According to Horkheimer, the traditional approaches are content to describe existing social institutions more or less as they are, and their analyses thus have the indirect effect of legitimating repressive and unjust social practices as natural or objective. By contrast, critical theory, through its detailed understanding of the larger historical and social context in which these institutions function, would expose the system's false claims to legitimacy, justice, and truth.In 1941 the institute, which had been beset by financial troubles, was effectively dissolved, and Horkheimer moved to Los Angeles. There he collaborated with Adorno on an influential study, Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), which traced the rise of fascism and other forms of totalitarianism to the Enlightenment notion of “instrumental” reason. The work's pessimism reflects the defeats that progressive European social movements had suffered since the early 1930s. A more accessible version of the book's argument also appeared in 1947 under the title The Eclipse of Reason. In 1950 Horkheimer returned to Frankfurt, where he reestablished the institute and ultimately became rector of the university. His later work displays his enduring fascination with the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) and the philosophy of religion. Horkheimer felt that Schopenhauer's pessimistic social philosophy more faithfully reflected the lost prospects for utopia than did the more optimistic social theories of the postwar period.From https://www.britannica.com/biography/Max-Horkheimer.

Disagreement, tension, stress, and conflict are part of all relationships and communities. There's no magic pill to make it go away. But, we don't have to suffer so much. There are ways to get through disagreement, dignity intact. It's possible to respectfully hear each other across deep divides. The people around us may have all kinds of different beliefs, ideas, and cultural practices but, as primates, we share the same underlying needs. Non-Violent Communication (NVC) is a way to bridge the gaps through assertive honesty and compassionate listening. Marshall Rosenberg, the founder of NVC, was inspired by Gandhi, influenced by Eric Fromm and worked with Carl Rogers, while developing break through communications around segregation and racism. NVC strengthens independence AND interdependence: it increases our ability to stand up for ourselves without hurting others, AND care for our interconnected world without harming ourselves.

It's been 80 years since philosopher Eric Fromm identified two types of freedom: “freedom from” -– to be no one's slave – and “freedom to” – to be the master of your own fate. And while we all idealize the latter, achieving the former, the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day and age, especially for Africa, which for centuries has been exploited under all sorts of pretexts. What needs to happen for the continent to truly take its deserved place in the world? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Jewel Howard-Taylor, vice president of Liberia. This interview was filmed at the Eurasian Women's Forum in St. Petersburg.
On the latest installment of Discussions on Psychoanalysis your hosts Grégoire Pierre and Edgard Francisco Danielsen interview Dr. Catherine Silver, Professor of Sociology who identifies as a "social relational psychoanalyst." Through their candid dialogue, hosts and guest explore the web of forces - personal and social - that lead a person to become a psychoanalyst, another person to desire being in psychoanalysis, and these two to find each other in the therapy room. We engage in themes of class, race, immigration, and we ponder what would psychoanalytic training look like if it were immersed in the life of communities. In addition, we have an opportunity to hear in what ways the work of Erich Fromm informs the practice of Dr. Silver.

How do you head for the heights and not lose yourself? Is it possible to be ambitious and strive for a worthy goal, and still stay grounded? Well, wait. What exactly is groundedness? According to Brad Stulberg, there's more to it than meets the eye. Brad has just published the third of a trilogy of books, including Peak Performance, The Passion Paradox, and most recently, The Practice of Groundedness. He's not just an author, though; he's also a researcher and coach on human performance, sustainable success, and well-being.

You can't just chatter about patience. If patience moderates our sorrows, then it's ultimately a deeper spiritual virtue that can't be instrumentalized to feel better—it's more deeply connected to a joy and hope that recognizes to what and to whom we are in demand, to whom we're responsible, brings closer attention to the present moment, and acknowledges our limitations and lack of control. In this episode, Ryan McAnnally-Linz and Evan Rosa review and reflect on the six episodes that made up our series on patience: why it's so hard, what's good about it, and how we might cultivate it.These six episodes explored patience in its theological, ethical, and psychological context, offering cultural and social diagnosis of our modern predicament with patience, defining the virtue in its divine and human contexts, and then considering the practical cultivation of patience as a way of life.This series featured interviews with Andrew Root (Luther Seminary), Kathryn Tanner (Yale Divinity School), Paul Dafydd Jones (University of Virginia), Adam Eitel (Yale Divinity School), Sarah Schnitker (Baylor University), and Tish Harrison Warren (priest, author, and New York Times columnist).Show NotesModerating sorrowsJames 5:7: "Be patient therefore beloved until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts. For the coming of the Lord is near."The patient way to make a s'moreAn unexpected s'mores tutorialKairos vs Chronos: often overdone, it applies when you're talking about patience.Time with kids at bed time is incommensurate with work productivity time; comparing the two is a category mistake."One of the things that these conversations about patients had had started to clue me into was the importance of being attuned to the proper activity or thing for which this time is—a less uniform account of time that says for instance, you know, the bedtime routine with my children that time is for that. And so thinking of it as somehow commensurate with work productivity time would be a category mistake of a sort. It would be an unfaithfulness. And so that impatience derives from a lack of attentiveness to the temporal texture of our lives in really relation to God." (Ryan)There can be "patient hurry"Patience is like audio compression: it sets a threshold that is sensitive to the sorrow in our life and moderates or mitigates it.Episode summariesPatience Part 1, Andy Root: "To say that I'm busy is to indicate that I'm in demand."Feeling busy = feeling importantRecognitionAttending to the present, accepting a different form of "being in demand."Patience Part 2, Kathy Tanner: "There's no profit in waiting."Connecting economy to patience."Something has to hold firm in order for you to take risks."Stability and the steadfast love of God.Patience Part 3, Paul Dafydd Jones: "The Psalms of lament and complaint can get, as we know, incredibly dark, incredibly bleak. One operation of divine patience could be that God gives ancient Israel the time and space to accuse God. God is patient with expressions of trauma, expressions of guilt, expressions of deep anguish. And God is so patient with them that they get included in the Canon. Like, some of the most powerful, skeptical, doubtful, angry moments are found in the Psalms. So God's letting be at this moment and letting happen includes within it God's honoring of grief and trauma, such that those moments become part of the scriptures."Psalms of complaintPsychologist Julie Exline on anger with GodAnger with God is consistent with patiencePatience Part 4, Adam Eitel: "Moderating sorrow is not to suppress it or develop an affected callousness or disenchanted, jaded relation to the things one really loves."It's hard to chatter about patience.Patience and joyPatience Part 5, Sarah Schnitker: Identify, Imagine, and SyncNormativity and a truer cognitive reappraisal of one's emotional statePatience Part 6, Tish Harrison Warren: "God intended man to have all good, but in his, God's, time and therefore all disobedience, all sin consists essentially in breaking out of time. Hence the restoration of order by the Son of God had to be the annulment of that premature snatching at knowledge, the beating down of the hand, outstretched toward eternity, the repentant return from a false, swift transfer of eternity to a true, slow confinement in time. Hence the importance of patience in the New Testament, which becomes the basic constituent of Christianity. More central, even the humility, the power to wait, to persevere, to hold out, to endure to the end, not to transcend one's own limitations, not to force issues by playing the hero or the titan, but to practice the virtue that lies beyond heroism: the meekness of the Lamb which is led."Control and Meekness: Meekness is controlled strengthProduction NotesThis podcast featured Ryan McAnnally-Linz and Evan RosaEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Martin Chan & Nathan JowersA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/givePart 1 Show Notes: Andrew RootDoubling down and the temptation to make up for lost timeHartmut Rosa and Modernity as AccelerationAcceleration across three categories: technology, social change, and pace of life"Decay rate” is accelerating—we can sense that things get old and obsolete much faster (e.g., phones, computers)Riding the wave of accelerated social change"We've become enamored with gadgets and time-saving technologies."“Getting more actions within units of time"Multi-taskingExpectations and waiting as an attack on the self"Waiting feels like a moral failure."Give yourself a break; people are under a huge amount of guilt that they're not using their time or curating the self they could have."You're screwing up my flow here, man."When I'm feeling the acceleration of time: “Get the bleep out of my way.

We want to think in terms of assurance. And we want that assurance to be comforting in a fairly quick-fire away. I think theologians have the task of exposing that as an ersatz hope and insisting that faith includes complexity. It involves lingering over ambiguity. Trying to fit together. multi-dimensional beliefs that are this lattice work—none of which can be reduced to a pithy, marketing quip.""Theologians need to be patient in order to honor the complexity of Christian faith. ... That's called intellectual responsibility.""Christianity is not going to cease to be weaponized by snake-oil salespeople."Staying with complexity and ambiguity"The capacity to tell the truth is in short supply.""Human beings are called to respond to God's patience. Human beings are called to make good on God's patience. The covenant of grace, which is fulfilled in Christ and which is animated by the spirit, makes that a possibility. It's not an easy possibility of real life. I mean, not just because of sin and finitude, but because of the complexities of the world that we live in. But learning how to respond to God's patience, both through forms of waiting, through forms of activity, and sometimes through moments of intemperate resistance is I think at the heart of Christian life.""People should not get in the way of human flourishing ... brought about by the empowering patience of the Holy Spirit. ...

Its remedy."Remedies: Take a bath, go to sleep, drink some wine, talk to a friend ... and at the top of the list is contemplation of God.Contemplation for Aquinas: prayer, chanting psalms, drawing one's mind to the presence of God.Experientia Dei—taste and see"This is scandalous to most virtue theorists ... but you can't have patience, or at least not much of it, without contemplation.""Moderating sorrow is not to suppress it or develop an affected callousness or disenchanted, jaded relation to the things one really loves.""Patience never means ignoring or turning away from the thing that's genuinely sorrowful."Diminishment of sorrow by nesting it among the many other goods.Modulate one's understanding of the thing that's sorrowful.The sorrow of losing a childYou can only write about it from inside of it.What is it?

Patience is not suppression; it begins with attention and noticing—identifying what's going on.Step 2: Cognitive reappraisal: one of the most effective ways to regulate our emotions. Think about your own emotions from another person's perspective, or in light of the bigger picture. Take each particular situation and reappraise it.Find benefits. Turn a curse into a blessing. Find opportunities.Step 3: Sync with your purpose. Create a narrative that supports the meaning of suffering. For many this is religious faithReappraising cognitive reappraisal: How convinced do you have to be? You'd have to find something with “epistemic teeth”—is this something you can rationally endorse and know, and can you feel it?Combining patience and gratitude practices, allowing for multiple emotions at once, and reimagining and reappraising one's life within your understanding of purpose and meaning.Provide psychological distance to attenuate emotional response.The existential relevance of faith for patience; theological background of patiencePatience and a life worth livingLove, the unity of the virtues, and "the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation" (2 Peter 3)Part 6 Show Notes: Tish Harrison Warren"Part of becoming more patient is noticing how impatient you are. ...

This is a continuation of our previous episode on love. We further break down Eric Fromm's description of love as an art form and we ask the question as to why would we even pursue this in the first place. We discuss overcoming the anxiety from separation, sex and psychedelics, conformity versus individualists, tribalism and using love to overcome separation. We highlight using routine as a means of conformity and seeing beyond the everyday appearance of people. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gintantra/message
This is the first in a short series on Love... our definition, viewpoints and musings on the importance of treating Love as art to be studied, learned and practiced. We include the work of Eric Fromm ( a student of Freud) and his ideas on this from a psychological vantage point. We discuss becoming lovable, using love as a commodity to be traded, marketing oneself in a social environment, facing rejection and experiencing love as a removal of the feelings of separation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gintantra/message

Avem nevoie să redefinim iubirea, să ne asumăm un proces personal de evoluție emoțională, să ne permitem să iubim dincolo de neputințe, de nesiguranțe, dependențe și frici. Sau, așa cum spunea Eric Fromm în Arta de a Iubi, ”oricât de straniu ar fi, capacitatea de a fi singur este o precondiție pentru a iubi.” Rezultatele cercetării naționale* despre provocările cuplurilor din România pe care am derulat-o la Școala pentru Cuplu ne-a arătat că suntem din ce în ce mai conștienți că avem nevoie de relații de cuplu împlinite, ceea ce ne face să fim mai deschiși și dispuși să contribuim la calitatea relației de cuplu. Însă avem nevoie să reașezăm așteptările față de ce înseamnă o relație de cuplu împlinită, să privim contribuția fiecăruia mai conștient și cu mai multă asumare, să vedem contribuțiile personale asupra relației, adică ale vulnerabilităților și istoriei de viață. Să evoluăm către relațiile mature, ghidate de claritate și nu de vulnerabilități sau presiuni sociale. E nevoie să nu mai idealizăm relația și să înțelegem că împlinirea vine în cuplu cu un efort conștient și cu angajament din partea ambilor parteneri.

Stephen Ross grew up in the small rural town of Brimfield Massachusetts feeling confused about his sexuality and was ultimately ostracized once he came out as gay. In the years that followed he suffered through many traumas including extreme physical abuse, emotional abuse, gaslighting, and manipulation. These experiences left him feeling severely depressed and caused him to feel disenfranchised and scared. Seeking safety and community he was completely open to the influence of anyone who showed him kindness. This vulnerability eventually led him to be lured into right-wing conspiracies by his abusive boyfriend, a follower of such dangerous internet conspiracists as Stephen Crowder and Alex Jones. Stephen shares with Rachel the details of some of the traumatic events that shaped his inner life, his descent down the proverbial rabbit hole, and eventual realizations that led him out of the darkness and towards a path of healing. Before You Go: Rachel explains how the need to feel acceptance from a community can lead to ignoring one's own critical thinking and even morality. She speaks about the work of Eric Fromm the German humanistic philosopher and discusses why his idea of consensual validation is so relevant to our current times.

We occupy human environments that are overlapped by numerous social, moral, and political systems. Some of these interlock while it’s unclear how exactly others relate to one another. The more theoretically-minded among us—and the more ideology-craving parts within us—tend to reach for rather all-encompassing frameworks to help us make sense of what creates social and environmental ills. We look around ourselves and see shortages in nutritious food, ecological exploitation, social injustices, atomization, political radicalization, and tyranny. And depending on our ideological proclivities, we use divergent language as tools for identifying their sources, in hopes of then addressing these identified problems—using terms like socialism, capitalism, fascism, or liberalism, to name a few. Abstractions or idealized conceptions like these have important roles to play, but how helpful are they in bringing about social change? What if instead of leading out with political ideology or philosophical theorizing, we focused our efforts on meeting needs as they present themselves? What would happen if instead of organizing with an eye toward finding like-minded individuals that share our same dogmas and creeds, we targeted concrete problems that we face within particular places or communities? Jeffrey Howard speaks with Ashley Colby, a sociologist and author of Subsistence Agriculture in the United States: Reconnecting to Work, Nature, and Community (2020). She earned her PhD focusing on environmental sociology from Washington State University in 2018. She is currently pursuing research projects based in Uruguay, where she has recently founded Rizoma Field School for experiential learning in the area of sustainability and agroecology. Ashley is a new member of the Executive Board of the Sustainable Consumption Research and Action Initiative (SCORAI) based in North America. Colby spotlights subsistence food producers in the United States, uncovering how “practitioner networks” empower community members with different ideological and political commitments to come together and solve local problems. She believes that our current mass agricultural system—a central element of what she frequently refers to as “industrial capitalism”—is not only in crisis but moving toward gradual collapse. Drawing from original ethnographic studies and her own experience as a subsistence food producer, she explores some of the more promising alternatives to the current system, or “shadow structures,” as she calls them. She takes on the misconception that subsistence farming only happens in rural areas and in the Global South, highlighting food producers and chicken keepers in the Chicago area. She further expresses optimism that as industrial farming, consumerism, and global supply chains continue to push beyond their ecological and moral limits, that permaculture and subsistence agriculture will serve as the fruitful nexus for what is becoming the next collection of social and political systems that will enable communities to thrive beyond the twenty-first century. Despite Colby’s optimism, how feasible or desirable are these movements away from mass-scale agriculture? How much meaningful change can happen when political activists take this more practical approach to problems rather than leading out with theoretical frameworks? What role does polemical theorizing have in bringing about social change?

In this episode, J.J. Mull interviews Lynne Layton and Mariana Leavy-Sperounis, author and editor respectively of Toward a Social Psychoanalysis: Culture, Character, and Normative Unconscious Processes, published in 2020 by Routledge as a part of their Relational Perspectives Book Series. This text takes part in an intellectual and political lineage that has called for a more radical understanding of psychoanalysis, encompassing a diverse range of thinkers from Frantz Fanon and Pierre Bourdieau to Eric Fromm and Marie Langer. In this compilation of Layton’s work, we’re given a framework for understanding the intersection between structural forces (gender oppression, racial capitalism, white supremacy, etc.) and the clinical encounter. Over the course of this conversation, Layton and Leavy-Sperounis give an account of the ways in which neoliberalism, capitalism, and other systems of domination give rise to particular kinds of subjective possibilities and gesture towards what psychoanalysis as a field might have to learn from contemporary struggles and insurrections. J.J. Mull is a poet, training clinician, and graduate student at Smith College School for Social Work living in Northampton, MA. He can be reached at jmull@smith.edu.

Sepanjang sejarah peradaban manusia hingga saat ini, manusia telah mengenal cinta dalam nama dan pemaknaan yang berbeda-beda, begitu pun pengekspresiannya dalam kehidupan. Tapi menurut Eric Formm, tak sedikit yang tidak mengerti tentang cinta. Cinta dalam banyak pengertian, tidak penting untuk dipelajari tak seperti ilmu-ilmu yang lain. Sementara cinta sendiri menurutnya bagaikan seni yang penting untuk dipelajari karena berkaitan dengan manusia dan hubungannya dengan yang lain. Dengan perspektif psikologi, Fromm dalam karya "The Art of Loving" yang ditulisnya, mencoba untuk mengurai makna-makna cinta dengan lebih dalam dan spesifik. Apa itu cinta, bagaimana bentuk-bentuk ekspresi cinta dari seorang pecinta, klasifikasi cinta dan tingkatan-tingkatan dalam cinta akan Ia jelaskan dalam buku ini. Selengkapnya silahkan mendengarkan audio buku ini.

Disagreement, tension, stress, and conflict are part of all relationships and communities. There's no magic pill to make it go away. But, we don't have to suffer so much. There are ways to get through disagreement, dignity intact. It's possible to respectfully hear each other across deep divides. The people around us may have all kinds of different beliefs, ideas, and cultural practices but, as primates, we share the same underlying needs. Non-Violent Communication (NVC) is a way to bridge the gaps through assertive honesty and compassionate listening. Marshall Rosenberg, the founder of NVC, was inspired by Gandhi, influenced by Eric Fromm and worked with Carl Rogers, while developing break through communications around segregation and racism. NVC strengthens independence AND interdependence: it increases our ability to stand up for ourselves without hurting others, AND care for our interconnected world without harming ourselves.

People seem to fear freedom because they fear responsibility. Particularly taking responsibility for your own life. Taking responsibility for your own life and your actions is a huge psychological barrier and emotionally overwhelming for us. Much of this comes from the lessons we learnt in childhood. I also very much urge you to check out the podcast I mention in this episode. It is an episode from a show called The Voluntary Life where they discuss the book "The Fear of Freedom" by Eric Fromm. #30 The Fear of Freedom by Eric Fromm https://thevoluntarylife.com/the-fear-of-freedom-by-eric-fromm Find me on: My Website: JustusFrank.com Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/lifeoflearning/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/JustBeingFrank8 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/justus.frank Minds: https://www.minds.com/Arphy/ Medium: https://medium.com/@justus_71245 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/justusfrank Photo courtesy of: http://www.agnesgrace.co.nz --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/justus-frank/message
Na ile psychoanaliza jest wciąż obecnym i aktualnym tematem? Czy psychoanaliza to nauka? Co zostawili nam po sobie ojcowie założyciele, czyli Freud, Jung i Adler? Jakimi kontynuatorami metody byli Eric Fromm i Karen Horney? Czy psychoterapia jako pochodna psychoanalizy jest skuteczna? Jakie znaczenie ma pokora podczas działania na obszarze mocno spekulatywnym? Czy istnieje system weryfikacji tego kto jest rzetelnym psychoterapeutą, a kto hochsztaplerem? To tylko niektóre z pytań, na które odpowiada w rozmowie Dariusz Użycki.

English psychiatrist and philosopher Eric Fromm said, “Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.” Most people feel a constant desire for more; most people never feel like they have enough. Despite this, almost nobody recognizes themselves themselves as greedy. These sermons on greed aim to help people understand what greed is, why it is spiritually significant, and how they can overcome it.
