Prophesy Deliverance! - An...

Cornel West, Johnathan Lee Walton

In this, his premiere work, Cornel West challenges African Americans to consider the incorporation of Marxism into their theological perspectives, thereby adopting the mindset that it is class more so than race that renders one powerless in America. His work reflects political and cultural perspectives borne out of his own formative life experiences. Decades later, his arguments continue to capture the theological imagination of many and influence the critical engagement of generations of scholars. 
 
 
 
In this fortieth anniversary edition, West invites six prominent scholars—whose respective work are grounded in various aspects of black political, cultural, and theological thought—into dialogue with this work, each writing one chapter plus a foreword by Jonathan Lee Walton. Continuing and expanding on the revolutionary discourses that West introduced in the first published work, each new essay provides nuanced lens for thinking about movements of liberation in today's African American communities.

It is Only a Very Silent Mind...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

It is only a very silent mind that can actually see - 30 May 1967 
- Conflict exists only when there are two opposing things: fear and non-fear,violence and non-violence. 
- A mind that is in a state of inquiry is entirely different from a mind that is seeking. Seeking implies effort, conformity, authority and therefore conflict.  
- Without space in which there is no boundary, the mind is incapable of comingupon immeasurable reality. 
- It is only a silent mind that can perceive, actually see, not a chattering mind, acontrolled mind, a mind that is tortured, suppressed, yielding or indulging. 
- When one has totally denied the psychological world which man has created,and the psychological structure of society of which we are, then there is spaceand silence. 
- Q: Could you de ne contemplation and meditation? 
- Q: It is not possible ever to observe totally one's own irrational thoughts. 
- Q: What does it mean to stand alone?
