The New Family Now - How We Connect in the 21st Century

Azhar ul Haque Sario

Summary

Family life is changing.  More people are living solo, choosing to stay single, or consciously uncoupling. Blended families are becoming the norm, and many are creating their own "chosen families."  We're seeing a resurgence in intergenerational living, and more diverse relationship models than ever before.
 
 
 
This book dives deep into these shifts, exploring the rise of solo living, the complexities of blended families, and the evolving definitions of marriage and parenthood. We'll examine the impact of technology, globalization, and economic inequality on families, and explore how we can build stronger, more resilient connections in the 21st century.
 
 
 
What makes this book different?  It goes beyond simply describing these trends. We'll tackle the tough questions about how these changes impact our well-being, our communities, and our social policies. We'll challenge outdated notions of family, advocate for greater inclusivity, and offer a hopeful vision for the future of love, connection, and kinship

GOD OF JANE THE - A Psychic...

Jane Roberts

The God of Jane is a courageous and deeply insightful inquiry into humanity’s relationship with spirituality, self-trust, and the creative power inherent in every individual. It is both an invitation and a challenge to step into one’s own authority, to trust personal impulses, and to redefine the boundaries of spiritual understanding.
In The God of Jane, Jane Roberts offers her most personal exploration of the Seth material, fearlessly questioning her own psychic abilities, the teachings she’s channeled, and the cultural and religious beliefs that shape our understanding of reality. Through a blend of poetry, self-experimentation, and introspection, Roberts confronts societal structures that promote distrust of self and consciousness, ultimately discovering a deeply individual connection to the larger consciousness—or “God.”
“This book,” she writes, “is the story of my efforts to put Seth’s material to work in daily life; to free myself from many hampering cultural beliefs; and most of all, to encounter and understand the nature of impulses.”
“Since we are, apparently, natural god-makers, it’s about time that we begin to examine the psychic and psychological processes involved. Ultimately we form our entire civilizations around such beliefs. Obviously then, the processes themselves arouse the deepest levels of the psyche. The events of any religion become supercharged. The heady mixture of psychic and historic events fuses and henceforth cannot be separated.
We must stop automatically taking such information at face value, translating it automatically through ancient beliefs. We must look directly at our own experience again—and learn to trust it. We must be our own psychic naturalists, combining reason with intuition. We must refuse to let old theories define our realities for us, limiting and distorting the very scope of our lives.” -- Jane Roberts

About the Relationship Between...

Osho

'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world.
Osho always expresses unique insights into education and the upbringing of children. In this talk, responding a question, he explores the relationship between children and parents. He says, meditation and consciousness give opportunities to change the direction of these relationships and therefore the whole of humanity. Parents respecting their children, rather than seeing them as property, is a key point: "You have chosen us as your parents," will be responded to with deeper respect, more gratitude, more love. When you love a child you would not like him / her to be just a carbon copy of yourself, you would like them to be a unique individual.
