In this heartfelt and theologically rich reflection, Alison Berreman explores the difference between sacrificial love and generative giving. Drawing on the teachings of Jesus, the writings of philosopher Erich Fromm, and personal insights, Alison challenges the common Christian framing of self-sacrifice as the highest virtue. Instead, she offers a vision of love rooted in wholeness, vitality, and mutual transformation. This message invites listeners to reconsider what it means to love like Christ—not by disappearing, but by showing up fully.Kindred Church is a Christian community gathering in Reno, Nevada.

Der erste Petrusbrief ist im Vergleich mit anderen biblischen Büchern eher selten Thema in den Perikopenreihen. Für Quasimodogeniti 2025 ist es mal wieder soweit. Wir haben Verse aus dem Anfang des Petrusbriefes als Grundlage unseres Ringens, das wir zweimal aufnehmen mussten. Es gibt leichtgängigere Texte. Aber, und das formuliert Lea sehr pointiert: Gott legt uns niemals auf unsere Vergangenheit fest. Das wird uns unter anderem bei unserem Gespräch über den Text deutlich. Wir fragen uns, dass es bedeutet, eine lebendige Hoffnung zu haben - oder geht es eher darum, diese lebendige Hoffnung zu sein, wie es Erich Fromm ausdrückte? Ein großer Dank geht an Tia Pelz, deren Ausführungen im Homiletischen Monatsheft sehr inspirierend waren. Wir fragen uns, ob es für uns jemanden gibt, der für uns dieses Bild von der lebendigen Hoffnung besonders stark verkörpert. Neben der Tatsache, dass wir als Freundinnnen füreinander lebendige Hoffnung sind, erzählen wir einander, welche Person des öffentlichen Interesses für uns diese Hoffnung sichtbar macht. Und wie ist es mit Euch? Wer ist für Dich besonders markant in Sachen "lebendige Hoffnung"?

Die Erkenntnisse und Analysen des Psychoanalytikers und Soziologen Erich Fromm sind brennend aktuell und hilfreich für unsere Zeit. Zum 125. Geburtstag (und 45. Todestag) Erich Fromms hat sein Nachlassverwalter Rainer Funk eine Textsammlung zusammengestellt, der Titel: „Humanismus in Krisenzeiten. Texte zur Zukunft der Menschheit“. Rezension von Stefan Berkholz
Podcast SummaryIn this episode, we take a deep dive into a thought-provoking lecture by Erich Fromm, delivered in 1971, exploring the history of religion and the decline of religious thought. Fromm, a renowned philosopher, psychoanalyst, and sociologist, examines how religious belief has evolved, why its traditional foundations have eroded, and what has risen to take its place.We discuss the idea that, even in a secular world, humanity still seeks meaning—whether through technology, ideology, or new ethical frameworks. Hasmodern society replaced God with the worship of progress? Does morality survive without divine authority? And what lessons can we draw from history, psychology, and philosophy to navigate this shift?Join the conversation as we reflect on these questions and consider what the future of belief—and disbelief—might look like.

Der Psychoanalytiker und Philosoph Erich Fromm bezeichnete sich und seine Gesellschaftskritik als "vormodern". Doch traf Fromm den Nerv der Zeit. Seine Gedanken zum "Haben und Sein" und zur "Kunst des Liebens" sind bis heute aktuell. Röther, Christian www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt
El sentimiento de amor, se construye en el día a día . Para este autor es un maravilloso arte. Te invito a vivenciarlo y a practicarlo.
Čovjek, kaže Erich Fromm, može izabrati i pogrešne životne scenarije. Možemo odlučiti stjecati, a možemo odlučiti i stvarati; možemo birati između „imati“ ili „biti“; hoćemo li samo nagomilavati stvari, ili ćemo prihvatiti relativizam, ili će našu vrijednost određivati situacija na tržištu – ili ćemo biti svoji ljudi, solidarni s drugima, spontani, koji su izabrali ljubav i rad.
The psychologist Erich Fromm argues that we tend to willingly submit to authoritarianism! Relevant today?
Rechtspopulismus, Entfremdung, Orientierungslosigkeit: viele der gegenwärtigen Probleme hat Erich Fromm bereits in seinen Texten aufgegriffen. Die Erkenntnisse des berühmten Sozialpsychologen zu technischen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen scheinen aktueller denn je. Zum 125. Geburtstag Fromms hat sein letzter wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter und Verwalter seines Nachlasses, Rainer Funk, ein neues Buch herausgegeben: eine Auswahl an Schriften, die das humanistische Denken Fromms widerspiegeln und ein tieferes Verständnis vom Wesen des Menschen vermitteln.
Dr. Gotthard Fuchs, Wiesbaden, Katholische Kirche: Auf die Kunst des Liebens kommt es an
Fromms Bücher “Die Kunst des Liebens” oder “Haben und Sein” prägten Generationen. Darin plädierte er für mehr “Sein” als Besitzen. Die kritischen Essays des Gesellschaftsphilosophen werden jetzt neu aufgelegt. – Und was sagte der jüdische Agnostiker zur Rolle der Religion? Erstaunlich Prophetisches. Die Diagnosen des deutsch-jüdischen Psychoanalytikers Erich Fromms zünden auch 50 und mehr Jahre nach Erscheinen. Der Analytiker kündigte an, dass eine rein konsumorientierte Gesellschaft das Individuum krank mache. Wer die Vorträge Erich Fromms heute hört, die er 1971 im Südwestdeutschen Rundfunk SWR hielt, ist verblüfft. Auch den Zusammenhang von Krieg und Kapitalismus durchschaute er. Und schon in den 70ern konstatierte Fromm «das Fiasko der Religion»: Sie habe ihren Zweck zur Welterklärung an die Naturwissenschaften verloren ebenso wie ihre Rolle als moralische Instanz. Dabei wäre eine kritische Religion als Anwältin des Menschen im galoppierenden Kapitalismus umso wichtiger, erkennt der jüdische Agnostiker. Was uns der sozialistische Humanist biblischer Prägung heute noch zu sagen hat, hören wir aus den Ton-Archiven des SWR. Der Südwestdeutsche Rundfunk SWR stellte sein reichhaltiges Tonarchiv mit Vorträgen von Erich Fromm online. Sven Ahnert gestaltete daraus 2020 diesen Beitrag für den SWR, den wir in Perspektiven präsentieren dürfen. Autor: Sven Ahnert
Tante Bertha werd ‘de moeder van het Rotterdams verzet' genoemd. Ze was de vrouw achter een gewelddadige knokploeg en zou eigenhandig een aantal Joden hebben gered. Maar al tijdens de oorlog kwamen er barsten in haar imago. Ze zou ook Joden hebben verraden om er zelf beter van te worden. Historicus Gerard Groeneveld ontrafelde het dubbelleven van tante Bertha en schuift aan om haar verhaal te vertellen. Schrijver Jozef Wittlin was een product van de Oostenrijks-Habsburgse cultuur, die hij met veel liefde en gevoel voor melancholie beschreef. Dat deed hij onder andere in Mijn Lwów, een klein portret van Lviv. Recensent Pieter van Os bespreekt het boek. Alle mensen koesteren een diep verlangen naar vrijheid, maar zijn daar tegelijkertijd bang voor. Dat is de grondgedachte in het beroemde boek De angst voor vrijheid van psychoanalyticus Erich Fromm. Recensent Wim Berkelaar legt uit waarom dit werk uit 1941 er nog steeds toe doet.

Sant Pau fue un hospital revolucionario. El arquitecto modernista Lluís Domènech i Montaner visualizó un recinto con múltiples pabellones conectados por zonas verdes, para que los pacientes pudieran recuperarse respirando y paseando en un oasis en medio de la ciudad. Estuve ingresado en Sant Pau de pequeño y, aunque mi dolencia no presentaba gravedad, estoy convencido que me recuperé mejor gracias a la belleza y al buen diseño de esos edificios. Hoy, después de la reforma, Sant Pau es un hospital moderno sin alma, en el que los pacientes se sienten mal tan solo entrar.

Was macht Menschen anfällig für rechtsradikale Ideologien? Diese Frage stellten sich schon Denker der Frankfurter Schule wie Erich Fromm, und Theodor W. Adorno. Mit Psychoanalyse und Marx entwickelten sie den Begriff des "autoritären Charakters" - gehorsam, konform und destruktiv. Ein Modell bis heute, weltweit relevant. Von Jerzy Sobotta
In this episode of Red Reviews, we dive into Erich Fromm's The Revolution of Hope and explore how hope—not blind optimism—can be a radical tool for social change. We tackle the dangers of a mechanized society, critique the unchecked power of big tech, and discuss what a truly democratic, humanistic use of technology could look like. Along the way, we dig into the environmental costs of generative AI, the allure of doomerism, and why Fromm's ideas about radical hope are more relevant than ever. It's a conversation about technology, democracy, and what it means to fight for a better world. Tune in and let us know what you think!

Weihnachten wird oft als Fest der Liebe bezeichnet – doch was bedeutet das eigentlich? In dieser Folge wird es ausnahmsweise philosophisch und Moritz diskutiert die Philosophie von Erich Fromm und seinen Gedanken, warum Liebe mehr ist als ein Gefühl: nämlich eine aktive Fähigkeit, die Mut und Offenheit erfordert. Diese Folge ist eine Einladung, über das Wesentliche nachzudenken. Frohe Weihnachten! Du hast Fragen, Anregungen oder Ideen? Melde dich gern unter mail(at)moritzbinder.com.

Black Friday ist gerade gewesen, Weihnachten steht vor der Tür. Und? Schon ordentlich geshoppt? Wie viel Geld habt Ihr für Weihnachtsgeschenke eingeplant? Und habt Ihr tatsächlich am Black Friday zugeschlagen? Warum shoppen wir so gern? Und warum hilft uns Shoppen als Anti-Frustrations-Maßnahme? Wie sieht es generell als Gesellschaft mit unserem Kaufverhalten aus? Überall wird davon geredet, dass wir die Wirtschaft ankurbeln müssen. Das bedeutet auch, dass wir mehr ausgeben sollen. Aber wovon? Wie teuer ist unser Leben? Was müssen und was wollen wir kaufen? Und warum? Wir sprechen heute über Werbung, Kaufverhalten und Kaufrausch. Über Kaufsucht und Kaufverweigerung. Wir haben wieder Christin dabei, die als Mama über ihre Kinder und das berühmte „Habenwollen-Phänomen“ berichten kann, Markenklamotten inklusive. Wie ist denn Euer Konsumverhalten? Ist für Euch "Haben" wichtiger als "Sein", wie es Erich Fromm in seinem Klassiker "Haben oder Sein" geschrieben hat? Wir freuen uns auf eine Diskussion mit Euch! Jetzt wünschen wir allen aber erst einmal einen wunderschönen, möglichst besinnlichen 1. Advent! Christin, Annika + Tilly
Erich Fromm's Beyond the Chains of Illusion
Esther Etty Hillesum sökte efter en kärlek bortom ha-begäret. Helena Granström följer den andliga utvecklingen i Hillesums berömda dagböcker och funderar över begärets och kärlekens djupa innebörd. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän publicerades första gången den 7 januari 2019.Den där intensiva känslan av att vilja äga.Du står inför ett vackert landskap, ett landskap vars storslagenhet du inte var beredd på. Det väcker något till liv inom dig som du knappt kan uthärda. Du vill klamra dig fast vid det; det enda sättet att stå ut med att så mycket skönhet existerar, är att göra den till din.Du står inför ett ting, och allt du kan tänka på är hur detta ting ska kunna bli ditt, som om det vore en sedan länge förlorad kroppsdel som äntligen återfunnits. Du vill ha det, just i den stunden är du säker på att du behöver det för att vara den du borde vara, för att vara hel.Eller: Du står inför en annan människa.ingen skönhet varar för evigt – den som inte förmår att acceptera den förlusten, måste istället förneka den.När Etty Hillesum, en 27-årig holländsk-judisk jurist och översättare, möter den drygt 50-åriga psykoanalytikern Julius Spier är det denna känsla som infinner sig: Viljan att ha honom, och att ha honom för sig själv. De träffas på hans praktik, där han bedriver en okonventionell form av analys, som inbegriper såväl brottning som att han läser i hennes händer, i det han kallar för ”hennes andra ansikte”. Deras relation överskrider snart de terapeutiska ramarna, och kommer att utgöra motor för en intensiv inre utveckling hos Hillesum. I dagboken skildras hennes kluvna känslor inför Spier, de tvära kasten mellan tungsinne och lycka, åtrå och förtvivlan som hon upplever under 1940-talets första år – allt medan förföljelse och misär stegras i världen utanför, och snart tränger in också i hennes egna inre rum.Begär hon honom? Inte som en man, skriver hon, men som en människa; ändå är det sinnliga ständigt närvarande, inte alltid som åtrå men hela tiden som en vilja till intimitet. Och som klangbotten för denna längtan finns strävan att släppa taget om livet för att på så vis kunna leva det fullt ut, viljan att kunna nå fram till Spier på samma sätt. Här måste också det konstnärliga skapandets drivkrafter utsättas för prövning: Att skriva är, menar Hillesum, bara ”ett annat sätt att 'äga'. Det är att med ord och bild dra föremålen till sig och på så sätt ändå äga dem. Att i all stillhet smyga sig undan i ensamhet med alla skatter jag samlat mig, och skriva ned alltihop, behålla det och avnjuta det för mig själv.” All skönhet är plågsam, eftersom ingen skönhet varar för evigt – den som inte förmår att acceptera den förlusten, måste istället förneka den.Det sexuella begäret utgör förstås en alldeles egen sorts habegär, nog så omutligt när det uppstår, men utan verkligt djupgående ägandeanspråk. Men det finns en annan känsla, ännu girigare, ännu mer glupande, som i högre grad än den direkta, situationsbundna lusten kräver fullständig kontroll över sitt objekt: Du ska tillhöra mig. Du är bara min. Du ska se, åtrå, älska bara mig. Är det denna känsla som vi ibland kallar kärlek? I alla händelser är det den som Hillesum, vägledd av Spier, strävar bort ifrån, i riktning mot en urskiljningslös kärlek till mänskligheten. Han säger, skriver Hillesum, att kärleken till alla människor är mer än kärleken till en enda. För kärleken till en enda människa är strängt taget bara egenkärlek.Den sanna kärleken, har det sagts, har ingen annan avsikt än att älska. Men begäret har ingen annan avsikt än att söka sin tillfredsställelse, och denna tillfredsställelse är i sista instans en inre, kanske till och med en inåtvänd, upplevelse. Den förälskades intensiva upptagenhet av föremålet för förälskelsen, är den inte lika mycket en upptagenhet vid det egna tillståndet, en vilja att hålla kvar de jublande känslorna av upprymdhet och lycka?Och ändå är det från denna källa som drömmen om ömsesidighet hämtar sin näring, drömmen om ett möte där min egen vilja förenas med den andres: Något i honom svarar mot något i mig, något mellan oss gör distinktionen oviktig.Men kanske är en förutsättning för varje egentligt möte – erotiskt eller annat – en beredvillighet att släppa taget om allt man tror sig haUpplevelsen av en sådan korrespondens gör det möjligt att undkomma föreställningen om det erotiska mötet som en transaktion, två individer som använder varandra för att stilla sina respektive lustar. För ett ögonblick gör den det möjligt för mig att tro att verklig ömsesidighet existerar, och dessutom är inom räckhåll; att det finns ett vi, som inte bara är resultatet av förhandlingar mellan två hungriga jag.Men kanske är en förutsättning för varje egentligt möte – erotiskt eller annat – en beredvillighet att släppa taget om allt man tror sig ha, till och med allt man tror sig vara. Under det dryga år som Hillesums relation till Spier utvecklas, utvecklas också hennes relation till det hon kallar Gud – men denna Gud tycks inte vara en yttre kraft, snarare något i kärnan av det egna jaget: ”I mitt inre finns en mycket djup brunn. Och i den brunnen finns Gud.”Att uppgå i Gud blir kanske därför detsamma som att lyckas bli den människa som man burit gömd inom sig själv, vilket i sin tur kan betyda att omfatta en kärlek som inte längre kräver att få äga sitt objekt. Att acceptera alltings flyktighet: förälskelsens, skönhetens, den egna identitetens och slutligen också själva livets. Jag kommer att tänka på psykologen Erich Fromm, som i sin bok Att ha eller att vara? ställer ägandet mot varandet, och konstaterar att den som vill slippa dödsskräck inte bör lägga sina krafter på att förbereda sig för döden, utan på ”en fortgående ansträngning att inskränka ägandets livsform och utvidga varandets”. Den som inte tror sig äga något, har inte heller något att förlora. Först när denna insikt verkligen är vunnen, kan vi sluta klamra oss fast vid världen, och först då kan vi erfara den rent och fullt, utan att erfarenheten grumlas av smärta, längtan och sorg.”Mitt liv”, skriver Hillesum, ”har så att säga utvidgats till att inbegripa döden […] Genom att utesluta döden ur sitt liv har man inte ett fullständigt liv, och genom att räkna med döden utvidgar och berikar jag mitt liv.” Man skulle kunna se denna hållning som en form av kapitulation – att själv välja att släppa in döden i sitt liv kan låta vackert, men för den som vilken dag som helst kan deporteras till ett koncentrationsläger, är det inte bara en förskönande omskrivning? Den död som man tror sig har bjudit in, har den inte alldeles på egen hand sprängt dörren och intagit ens hem, ditsänd av en främmande och okontrollerbar makt?Med ett sådant förhållningssätt förlorar också överlevnaden sitt självklara egenvärde, den är i sig själv inte nog: ”När vi inte har mer att erbjuda en utblottad efterkrigsvärld än våra till varje pris räddade kroppar och ingen ny mening, som är sprungen ur de djupaste brunnarna av vår nöd och vår förtvivlan, då kommer det inte att räcka till.”Att undvika döden tycks för Hillesum mindre viktigt än att lära från den. Det kan framstå som att lättvindigt släppa taget om livet – men skulle lika gärna kunna vara att insistera på dess djupaste innebörd. Kanske kan det till och med förstås som uttryck för en innerlig kärlek, storsint nog att ge upp också det som den älskar mest.Helena Granströmförfattare med bakgrund inom fysik och matematikLitteraturEtty Hillesum: Dagböcker och brev i urval.

Chapter 1:Summary of The Art of Loving"The Art of Loving," written by Erich Fromm and first published in 1956, explores the nature of love and its significance in human life. Fromm argues that love is not just a feeling but an art that requires knowledge, effort, and practice. He identifies different forms of love, including romantic love, brotherly love, self-love, and love for God, while emphasizing that authentic love transcends mere emotional attachment.Key concepts from the book include:1. Love as an Art: Fromm asserts that love is an art that must be mastered, requiring discipline, concentration, and patience. Like any art form, it involves practice and continuous learning.2. Types of Love: Fromm categorizes love into several types:- Eros: Romantic love characterized by passionate attraction.- Brotherly Love: Unconditional love for others, emphasizing solidarity and empathy.- Self-Love: Understanding and valuing oneself, which is essential for the ability to love others.- Motherly and Fatherly Love: These reflect nurturing qualities and the balance of giving and receiving.3. Societal Influence: Fromm discusses how society, especially in capitalist cultures, often distorts love into a commodity or self-serving mechanism. He critiques the way consumerism affects personal relationships and emotional connections.4. The Importance of Freedom: Love involves freedom and independence, which allows individuals to connect with others authentically rather than seeking to possess or control them.5. Active Love: Fromm concludes that love is an active practice rather than a passive experience. It involves care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge, reflecting a deep commitment to the growth and well-being of oneself and others.Overall, "The Art of Loving" emphasizes that true love fosters personal growth and fulfillment and is essential for meaningful relationships in an increasingly alienated world. Through love, Fromm believes individuals can transcend loneliness and isolation, achieving deeper connections with themselves and others.Chapter 2:The Theme of The Art of Loving"The Art of Loving" by Erich Fromm is a philosophical work that explores the nature of love, its various forms, and the conditions necessary for its genuine expression. Below are key plot points, character development aspects, and thematic ideas central to the book: Key Plot Points1. Definition of Love: Fromm begins by discussing love's importance in human life, emphasizing that it is an art that requires practice and effort, much like any other art form.2. Types of Love: Fromm identifies several types of love, including romantic love, brotherly love, motherly love, self-love, and love for God, analyzing how each type manifests and its implications for interpersonal relationships.3. Love as an Active Process: He posits that love should be seen not as a passive experience or an emotion but as an active practice that involves care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge.4. Critique of Modern Society: Fromm critiques contemporary societal values, arguing that consumerism, isolation, and egoism inhibit authentic love. He suggests that societal structures often promote superficial relationships rather than deep emotional connections.5. The Role of Freedom: The book discusses the paradox of freedom in love, where genuine love can flourish only in a context of freedom and mutual respect. However, modern individuals may feel scared of freedom, leading them to seek connections that are not true expressions of love.6. Path to Mastering the Art: Fromm describes the journey toward mastering the art of loving, emphasizing the cultivation of self-awareness, maturity, and the ability to engage in a relationship with another person meaningfully.

Erich Fromm's The Art of Loving
“Sevgi yalnızca bir duygu değildir; aynı zamanda çaba, bilgi ve disiplin gerektiren bir sanattır,” diyor Erich Fromm, ölümsüz eseri Sevme Sanatı'nda. Her şeyin hızlıca tüketmek üzerine kurulu olduğu bu çağda kurulan yüzeysel ve geçici ilişkilere bir isyan niteliğinde aslında bu bölüm. Sevmeyi bilmeden, yalnızlığımızın hapishanesinden kurtulamayız. Ve sevmeyi bilmeden kendimizi hiçbir zaman tatmin olmuş hissetmeyeceğiz. Peki, sevmeyi öğrenebilir miyiz? Yanıt: Evet. Detaylar ise bölümün içinde.

✨ Hoy en nuestro programa nos sumergimos en los últimos días de la vida de una leyenda: ¡Bob Marley! Su mítica canción "Redemption Song" es el punto de partida para explorar una reflexión sobre la libertad, la redención personal y las cadenas mentales que todos cargamos. Esta pieza, compuesta por Marley cuando sabía que su tiempo en la Tierra llegaba a su fin, nos inspira a cuestionar qué significa realmente la libertad y por qué puede producir tanta angustia. La palabra "redención" proviene del acto de comprar la libertad, y a lo largo de la historia, tanto personas como pueblos han luchado por ella. Pero ¿qué pasa con la libertad personal? ¿Por qué nos resulta tan difícil? Exploramos cómo grandes pensadores como Erich Fromm y Byung-Chul Han han abordado este tema y cómo la libertad, en vez de liberarnos, puede llevarnos a nuevas formas de autoexplotación y ansiedad. Analizaremos el impacto de la canción y el mensaje que Bob Marley quería transmitir antes de despedirse de este mundo, con un llamado a "emancipar nuestras cadenas mentales" y liberar nuestras mentes. ️ Además, compartiremos una versión especial de "Redemption Song" que grabé con una cantante estupenda , ¡espero que os guste tanto como a mí! ¿Y tú? ¿Te has preguntado alguna vez si eres realmente libre? ¿O si las cadenas que llevas son autoimpuestas? La búsqueda de la libertad personal es uno de los mayores retos, y hoy te invitamos a que reflexiones sobre ello junto a nosotros.

Have you ever wondered why far left Gen Z activists idealize foreign cultures halfway across the planet while diminishing their own, to the point of holding beliefs that seem paradoxical or even delusional? Today's brilliant guest, Maral Salmassi, helps us explore the complex dynamics of the "Queers for Palestine" movement and the sadomasochistic interpersonal dynamics that can emerge within woke culture.Maral draws on the psychological frameworks of Erich Fromm to unpack the internal conflicts that fuel these behaviors. Are we witnessing a projection of powerlessness that leads to sadistic control over dissenting voices? As we navigate these intricate themes, we also touch on the implications of cluster B personality traits in social movements. In order to better understand ideologically captured youth, what do mature thinkers need to know about psychological phenomena such as splitting, projection, idealization and devaluation, and the Karpman Drama Triangle of victim, rescuer and persecutor? What role does social media play in amplifying these dynamics, and how does it contribute to identity fragmentation among vulnerable individuals?Join us as we dissect the paradoxes of ideological purity and the logical fallacies that can arise in the pursuit of social justice. Tune in to discover Maral's insights and my reflections on these pressing questions that resonate deeply in today's cultural landscape. Today's format deviates from the norm as Maral reads a thoughtfully scripted monologue prepared exclusively for my listeners, and I respond with my asynchronous reflections.Maral Salmassi was born in Tehran, Iran, and spent her early years in Iran, Jordan, and Israel, where her father was a diplomat under the Shah. Her mother, a literature teacher, nurtured her appreciation for culture and the arts. Following the fall of the Shah and the outbreak of the Iran-Iraq war, her family fled Iran in 1986, settling in Germany. Salmassi pursued an education in Media Art in Cologne, which provided a foundation for her future endeavors. She is also a self-taught music producer and sound engineer. Since 1997, she has shaped culture as an artist, producer, and entrepreneur, initially in Cologne and later in Berlin. Her work is influenced by her diverse cultural background and a strong interest in sociopolitics and psychology. She also spent a brief period living in France, contributing to her multicultural perspective.Books mentioned in this episode:The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness by Erich FrommEscape from Freedom by Erich FrommThe Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff00:00 Start[00:00:10] Ideological purity in woke culture.[00:05:06] Sadomasochism in Queers for Palestine.[00:08:07] Polarizing content and identity.[00:12:20] Gameable heuristics in society.[00:17:34] Victim mentality and self-interest.[00:20:10] Reaction formation and its implications.[00:24:46] Woke beliefs and self-interest.[00:27:25] Sadomasochism and entitlement dynamics.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community for Parents is available now!

Love and respect is when I'm talking about today and it's the title of the episode in which I explain a lot of about Erich Fromm and how he feels about love and respect.
We think if we concentrate on the outcome we will get that. Often, we suffer and even don't get it.Erich Fromm made it crystal clear that we don't do it for the outcome. If I study and look that I get the highest score, I will forget what I have learned fast. And I don't become that expert.If I look to get the most readers or to get many clients, this will not work. When I decided it is fun, an honor to write and to help the readers, I attracted even blogs where I could not write in the first approach. Think, how many times we have failed because of our wrong attitude. The attitude is what drives our life. And the other idea, I am greedy, don't care for anything else only to accomplish my goal will backfire in the end. For instance: If I like to get pregnant for the reason to marry. Do you think that this will end in a happy marriage or happy family? Never! Both, the husband and wife will complain. Just to marry the right partner doesn't give us for the next 50 years a happy marriage. Our attitude should be: to improve every day our relationship, and so we can transform even a bad relationship to a happy relationship. Our attitude is most important, for instance, we should ask:Why we want that?Why we can't adapt?Why we dislike this person?Why we hate our situation?When we don't have the success that we deserve, we should first check our attitude. Because our attitude attracts our outcome. If I want to finish very fast my task/job, my results will suffer from that. Konrad Adenauer (first Prime Minister of Germany) said to his driver: I have to be very fast at the Parliament, please drive slowly! Looks contradicting, but this 90 years old guy could understand life much better than us. To Be or not to Be that is the Question!

I det tvåhundrafyrtiotredje avsnittet av podden pratar vi om lobotomi, hjärnkirurgi och dödshjälp. Gäst är Rickard L Sjöberg som är hjärnkirurg och docent i neurokirurgi vid Umeå universitet, samt docent i medicinsk psykologi. I den första delen av fyra berättar Rickard om hur hans intresse för psykologi föddes under läsningen av Erich Fromm.Christian frågar om Rickards forskning om barnvittnesmål och häxprocesserna. Rickard berättar om hur han av en slump kastades in i den heta debatten om falska minnen under 90-talet, där märkliga likheterna med 1600-talets påstådda satanistiska ritualmord uppstod. Vi pratar även om vittnespsykologins historia – om hur ett litet forskningsfält med förgrundsfigurer som Arne Trankell plötsligt fick stor uppmärksamhet. Hur gick det till och vilka var konfliktlinjerna?Om du vill kommentera avsnittet finns Christian på Twitter han heter c_dahlstrom, eller på Bluesky där han heter christiandahlstrom.bsky.social.

Liebe ist die Liebe zum Leben. Weit davon entfernt, etwas Abstraktes zu sein, ist die Liebe zum Leben der ganz konkrete und wirkliche Kern einer jeden Art von Liebe. Entnommen aus: Erich Fromm "Lieben wir das Leben noch? Über Macht und Ohnmacht der Liebe", Hrsg. Rainer Funk, DTV Verlag, München 2020
"Anatomía de la destructividad humana" de Erich Fromm explora las raíces de la agresión y la violencia en la naturaleza humana. Analiza factores biológicos, psicológicos y socioculturales que fomentan la destructividad, proponiendo una comprensión profunda para prevenir conflictos y promover la paz.
This is Part 3 of a 3 Part series on love! It should be listened to in sequence! In it, I explore the state of love today and what, if anything, we might learn from some of the great writers, poets and philosophers who take love very seriously.
“Love God and then do whatever you wish.” St. Augustine This is the quote for the spiritual experience of the sun tarot card in my ultimate guide to the Raider Waite Tarot book. I had to laugh as I read it this morning sitting down to write this podcast. I decided to write about the sun card because it is the solstice, and the sun symbolizes rebirth and daily renewal. And surprise! This month and for the rest of this year I am in a process of change and renewal yet again. I'm currently writing this on my deck in St. Augustine, Florida. Inside my little house in the woods surrounded by magick and elemental beings are boxes ready to be packed and put into storage. I'm moving. Again. I just put the last of my Seattle life into a storage locker at my good friend's condo and now I am putting my St. Augustine things into storage until November when I hopefully move into my new house that is currently being built. “Birth is not a momentary event, but a permanent process. Our aim in life is to become completely born…living means being born every minute.” Erich Fromm. The process of rebirth for me has been going on for years. But more intensely these last 2 since I was called to step up in my spiritual practice and make this move to St. Augustine. I keep laughing because it really seems to keep getting more intense when silly me thought it would chill out by now. But relocating your life and business across the country is a process. All good things - meeting the love of one's life, co-creating a new home together, establishing a foothold in a new city, building a new community, taking yet another bar exam (I could do without this step but it's a right of passage in my profession) - these are all major things. As is exiting a place (Seattle) where you built a life for the past 20 years. What I'm learning in part is surrender. Allowing the will of God to flow through me. Allowing the highest good to flow through me. And not being an obstacle to my own birthing process. Not being an obstacle to my own greatness and purpose. I will, thy will, I say. Let my greatest desire be that I fulfill my contract with God. The purpose I made for myself when I was spirit before I had amnesia caused by this physical density. So, I am attempting to understand with my higher self my needs and wants. Then holding the vision for them to be met. And thus arranging my priorities to ensure that energetically, and then physically. Versus clinging to my past self and fighting the process. I surrender to the process of rebirthing. So I shared the quote that I read and laughed out loud when looking at The Sun card. There are no coincidences that St. Augustine himself is speaking to me today. Love God i.e. love yourself and all beings and allow the will of god to flow through you. Then do what you want. Well, when the will of god flows through you - you become an agent for the best and highest good. December of 2023 marked one year of my leap of faith to move to St. Augustine. And although it was a month of upheaval and unmet expectations for myself and others it was actually really great - because I put my house in order. I had to sit down with myself and decide the priorities for Angel's life. What was it that I really desired and wanted in my life? Yes, I want to do God's will but I'm not a robot. I'm a human being with needs and wants and one of our 4 basic needs is love. I decided that the most important thing to me in my life was to find my life partner. Someone I could spend my life with who would love me for me, and I would love them for them in return - and we could be a team. Team us. I also decided that I was going to fully let go of Seattle. That I was going to ground my light here in St. Augustine. I was going to plant my energy in this soil and build my life here instead of traversing the country every other week or month and running myself ragged in the process. The result of this decision? Within 2 months I was registered for the Florida Bar Exam, I found a location for my light center at the Center for Spiritual Living, and I was in a relationship with a person that I love and who loves me in return, who actually wants to spend their life with me as a team. Not someone in it for some sense of immediate gratification but actual loyalty and commitment to building a relationship and all the co-creation that goes with that. And as a result of all of that, here I am. Moving and rebirthing myself again. But not chaotically. I'm executing (with assistance) the vision of grounding myself here in St. Augustine and the universe is supporting me because it's in alignment with my purpose. How do I know? Because I trust my higher self, I trust the tools of my spiritual practice and the law of the universe I am watching at play around me. I'm far from perfect, or a perfect situation but I'm doing my best and I am holding gratitude for everything given and taken away. So let's talk about The Sun card and the summer solstice for a second. The Sun = the active principle. As the moon stands for the collective unconscious the sun stands for the collective Consciousness. Being able to be free from autonomous programming and making actual choices authentically from our free will. I'm going to take a step further and say that true choice from our freest of free wills comes from our positive ego that is connected to the holy spirit i.e. the collective consciousness of the ascended masters (these are those who have mastered their negative ego and now live to support those of us in the physical world i.e. Jesus, Buddha, Quan Yin, Isis, Osiris, Odin, Freya, Lakshmi, Ganesha, any archetype from any culture..the ascended masters are numerous). If we are connecting with our higher self and making discerning choices for our nurture and wellbeing out of love for ourselves and others we are truly living from free will and influenced by the conscious positive collective consciousness. On the other side, if all we are doing is playing out a record of our story fueled by programming from our subconscious (our stored repository of unexpressed and repressed emotions i.e. that suitcase full of crap you had to sit on to close and hide under your bed). Are you really living fully? If you are motivated only by fear, jealousy, stress, pain, or the avoidance of pain your negative ego says is necessary to survive? Is that truly a choice? Or are you choosing to be a slave to your masks, your negative ego, and unmanaged emotions? I'd say so - choosing to stay in the prison of fear we build for ourselves because we are afraid to try something different, or think it will hurt is not living. Life is filled with a myriad of opportunities to fuck up. That's the point! To learn by failing forward and making mistakes. Picking yourself up when you fall down and saying “well, maybe I won't do it that way again.” But a lot of us (and I have been guilty of this myself) say “I have no choice!” I have to stay here doing this thing this way because if I change I'll die. Our negative ego is so caught up in our fight or flight mechanism we really do equate change to death. But that is a lie. Change is rebirth. Growth is freedom. Failing is movement. And if you are not moving forward you are going backwards and you are letting your subconscious rule the show. Instead we should go arms open naked on a white horse into the sun of a new day smiling because if we fall off it was one hell of a ride. Now - the solstice! The sun is at its peak! This is the time of action. Of light. Of celebration and growth. We have all the vitamin D and all of the time and energy to accomplish all of the things! Now is the time of Joy and Illumination. Of healing by shining light on that which was hidden. And it's the time of the masculine energetic active principle. So see what there is to see and be in the now making choices from your positive ego for the best and highest good. And that is your assignment this month. Do or do not. There is no Try. Go forth! Be in the now. Get ‘er done. Live your life. Fail gloriously and celebrate the victory of doing something differently than you did before. I love you all. And as always if you need any assistance with this assignment or anything else - I can help with that! Until next time. Go frolic in the Sun and live joyfully.

Welcome to another empowering episode of Street Strong, entitled “To Have or To Be?” In this enlightening discussion, we explore the profound difference between the relentless pursuit of material possessions and the true essence of simply being. Hopeful Affirmation: Let's begin with a moment of reflection and hope. In every day, there lies immense potential to be blown away by beauty and bliss. If we can let go of the past and have faith in the future, the fog will clear, unveiling unseen possibilities. Remember, tomorrow can be today. Introduction: In a world where having is often equated with happiness, we lose sight of the true goal: to be. Whether living on the streets or on a yacht off the Florida coast, the quest for more possessions often leaves us feeling unfulfilled. This episode invites you to reflect on the difference between having and being, to find peace in who you are rather than in what you own, and to rise above the pressures of materialism. Conquering Nature and Its Consequences: Our society celebrates the conquest of nature, but this relentless pursuit often leads to environmental destruction and personal disconnection. We measure success by the size of our homes and the brand of our clothes, leaving us lonely and anxious. In our mad dash to have, we cease to be. The Empty Self: True fulfillment comes from shifting our focus from having to being. This requires letting go of selfishness and material attachments. By embracing simplicity and emptiness, we discover genuine joy and connection. "When you let go of who you are, you become who you might be." The Joy of Being: Exist in a state of joy and connectedness, where true happiness resides not in possessions but in experiences and relationships. Erich Fromm reminds us that we are a society of unhappy people, striving to save time yet glad when it passes. We must shift our focus from having more to being better. Parable of the Fisherman and the Businessman: Through the story of a wealthy businessman and a humble fisherman, we learn the futility of striving for more. The fisherman finds joy in simplicity and connection, while the businessman realizes that true wealth lies in being present and content. The Problem with Materialism: Materialism promises happiness but often delivers emptiness. Our worth is not determined by what we own, but by the depth of our character. As Marcus Aurelius said, "To live best, live simple." The Beggar's Wealth: A parable of a rich man and a content beggar illustrates that true security and joy come from within. The rich man learns that letting go of his fears and appreciating the present brings deeper fulfillment than all his wealth ever could. Living with Intent: Live a life of being with intention and mindfulness. Value experiences over possessions, relationships over status, and inner peace over outward success. Cultivate gratitude and mindfulness to connect deeply with yourself and others. The Power of Community: Recognize the importance of community in your well-being. Build strong, supportive relationships that create a sense of belonging and purpose. Prioritize face-to-face interactions and meaningful conversations to strengthen your sense of community. The Role of Service: Shift from having to being through service to others. By giving your time, talents, and resources, you find joy and fulfillment. Service helps you cultivate compassion, empathy, and gratitude, and to live a life of purpose and meaning. Overcoming Fear: Confront your fears and let go of material attachments to live more fully and joyously. Acceptance helps you find peace in the present moment and trust in the natural flow of life. The Gift of Presence: Be fully present to connect deeply with yourself and others. Presence allows you to see the beauty in everyday moments and find joy in simply being. Finding Joy in the Journey: Focus on the journey rather than the destination to find joy in the present moment. Appreciate the process of growth and discovery, and find meaning in the everyday moments of life. The Importance of Gratitude: Shift from having to being through gratitude. Focus on what you have rather than what you lack, and appreciate the beauty in everyday moments and relationships. The Gift of Service: Serve others to move beyond your own needs and find joy in making a difference. Service helps you appreciate the richness of your own life and cultivate compassion and gratitude. Conclusion: Embrace the path of being over having. Find joy in the present moment, in the simple pleasures of life, and in your connections with others. Release your attachment to material possessions and discover the true richness of your existence. Remember the words of Rumi: "When you let go of who you are, you become who you might be." Walk this path together, supporting one another in our journey toward a more joyous, connected, and meaningful life. Tune in to this episode of Street Strong to explore these profound insights and find inspiration in the journey from having to being.
Rainer Funk is Director of the Erich Fromm Institute Tuebingen, Co-Director of the Erich Fromm Study Center at the International Psychoanalytic University (IPU) in Berlin, and a practicing psychoanalyst based in Tuebingen, Germany. He is Erich Fromm's sole Literary Executor and among his publications are the 10-volume German edition of Erich Fromm Collected Works (1980 and 1981; expanded to 12-volumes in 1999). In this episode, we discuss the first time Rainer met Erich Fromm, Fromm's nuanced approach to religion, Fromm's relevance for the 21st century and much more.
Chapter 1 What's Escape from Freedom Book by Erich FrommEscape from Freedom is a book written by Erich Fromm, a renowned psychoanalyst and social philosopher. Published in 1941, it explores the concept of freedom and its impact on human behavior and society.Fromm argues that while freedom is a fundamental human desire, it can also be unsettling and anxiety-provoking.

It provides insightful analysis of the human condition, particularly focusing on the paradoxical nature of freedom and the impact of social and psychological factors on individual behavior. Erich Fromm's exploration of the individual's struggle for autonomy and the inclination to seek escape from the anxiety of freedom makes it a thought-provoking read. However, as with any book, its appeal and relevance may vary depending on personal interests and preferences.Chapter 3 Escape from Freedom Book by Erich Fromm SummaryEscape from Freedom, written by Erich Fromm and first published in 1941, is a seminal psychological and philosophical work that explores the human desire for freedom and the various ways in which people attempt to escape it.The central thesis of the book is that human beings have an innate desire for freedom, but that this desire is often accompanied by a profound sense of anxiety and insecurity. Fromm argues that freedom requires individuals to take responsibility for their own lives and make choices, which can be overwhelming and frightening. As a result, many people seek refuge from this existential anxiety in various forms of escape.Fromm identifies three main forms of escape: authoritarianism, destructiveness, and automaton conformity. Authoritarianism is the desire to submit to a higher power, such as a dictator or a religious leader, in order to avoid the burden of making choices. Destructiveness, on the other hand, is the impulse to destroy and manipulate others, as a way of exerting control in an otherwise chaotic world. Automaton conformity refers to the desire to conform to societal norms and expectations, in order to fit in and avoid the anxiety of being different.Fromm argues that these forms of escape ultimately lead to a loss of individual freedom and the perpetuation of oppressive systems. He suggests that true freedom can only be achieved through a process of individual self-realization, in which individuals develop a sense of identity, autonomy, and the capacity to love and be loved.The book also explores the historical and cultural factors that shape individuals' desires for freedom and their attempts to escape it. Fromm examines the transition from a traditional, agrarian society to a modern, industrialized one, and the ways in which this transition has altered people's...
Dr. Totton and Tod discuss Erich Fromm’s 1941 exploration into man’s relationship to authority and how to find true freedom. (This is an episode from “Ten Thousand Things,” Dr. Totton and Tod’s podcast available exclusively at Patreon.com/WhatsThisTaoAllAbout.)
In 1976, German social psychologist Erich Fromm published a book which presented the titular question, "To Have or To Be?" This philosophical inquiry would resurface throughout his work as two distinct modes of existence. He further claimed that modern society in its materialism prefers having.On this podcast, we often consider the dialectic of being vs doing. Well, Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa wrote, "to have is to tarry." In a sense, the more you have, the more you have to do - which can weigh you down in terms of freeing your mind.But does that mean that the goal of spiritual growth would be to eliminate possessions? I don't think it's that simple. It is more about transcending possessiveness. There is a clear cultural example of this difference when comparing the legacies of human relations with the land or ecology. If you look at a map of Native Land that shows historically Indigenous territories, you will not find the straight lines and rigid markers as is the case with modern states and countries. It's much more fluid like the area of defense on a baseball field, with any location more or less covered by a player. This ties into the notion of stewardship as opposed to ownership of the land, as well as the experience of land as a community rather than a commodity.Today, what could change with our life, work, responsibilities and relationships if we brought this awareness into our consciousness and mode of existence? What changes and what matters more in the moment between:having something and being present?having friends and being friendly?having success and being sincere?having love and being loving?(intro song “New Apartment” by Coldbrew and “To New Beginnings” and “Clouds in Dark Skies” by Bing Satellites)
