Summary

In "Education as Service," J. Krishnamurti presents a transformative vision of education that emphasizes personal exploration and the nurturing of a compassionate awareness. This thought-provoking work critiques traditional educational paradigms, advocating instead for an approach that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and intrinsic motivation. Krishnamurti's literary style is both earnest and accessible, characterized by profound philosophical insights rendered in clear language. Set against the backdrop of post-war idealism, the book reflects a deep concern for humanity's potential, emphasizing education as a vital service to society rather than merely a means of vocational preparation. J. Krishnamurti, an influential philosopher and spiritual teacher, dedicated his life to exploring the complexities of human thought and consciousness. His early experiences, including his upbringing within the Theosophical Society, profoundly shaped his understanding of the role of education in individual development and societal transformation. Drawing upon his travels and dialogues with students and educators worldwide, Krishnamurti crafted an impassioned plea for an educational system that prioritizes the cultivation of a holistic and compassionate human being. "Education as Service" is an essential read for anyone involved in education, philosophy, or social reform. It challenges readers to reconsider the purpose of education and inspires a reimagining of its potential as a force for positive change. Krishnamurti's insights urge us to embrace education not just as a process of knowledge acquisition, but as a transformative journey of self-discovery and service to others.

    TWENTY-ONE BOXES Robin's Story...

    In 1989, the Little Rascals Day Care in Edenton, North Carolina, was suddenly thrust into the national spotlight. One day, the owner's husband disciplined a boy at naptime, and soon an angry mother suggested that it was more than just a slap. Rumors quickly morphed into charges of unimaginable crimes against dozens of little children. Panic consumed the town, as the police, therapists, and parents relentlessly pressured the children who attended the day care to name their teachers responsible for multiple allegations of abuse. The Edenton Seven were caught up in the accusations, including nineteen-year-old teacher Robin Boles Byrum. She spent nearly a year in jail under an enormous bond meant to pressure her to "tell the truth" while she had a new baby at home.  
Eerily reminiscent of the hysteria that gripped Salem, Massachusetts, during the witch trials of the seventeenth century, the Little Rascals case ultimately became the longest and most expensive criminal trial in North Carolina history. Three decades later, Betsy Hester met Robin Byrum Couto and together, they joined forces to tell the truth. Betsy shares insights from legal and medical experts and reveals the facts from twenty-one boxes and bound testimonies from the courtroom long since buried away. Intertwined with the case history is Robin's never-before-told story of her harrowing journey through the court system. Finally, this book serves as a modern-day warning about the danger of mass hysteria and the consequences of a judicial system that blindly refused to hear and seek the truth.

    Creating Space tells a professional and personal story of healthcare chaplaincy and models the way in which practice development emerges from reflecting on the human story. This book reveals to healthcare, the Church and the community, the unique role of the chaplain’s experiences as a resource to others. It is written for professional practitioners, prompting their own contextual learning and development, whether as chaplains, pastoral carers, parish clergy, lay ministers, volunteers in any caring context, those who work in listening therapies, those who provide care and support to others of any kind, or those who use or teach reflective practice.

 
The authors connect in a straightforward way their view of healthcare chaplaincy as a model of practical theology, based on key practical theologians who see the human story as a source of learning. They outline their own reflective practice tool for learning and share the way in which they see each pastoral encounter as a reflective source of learning. They discover how their experiences have developed the discernment process for chaplaincy vocation, urging the Church to see beyond the parish model in today’s world.

    The Dismissive Avoidant...

    As a relationship and life coach, I’ve seen firsthand how entrenched ways of behaving, as a result of childhood trauma, can result in toxic and unhealthy relationships. These unhealthy relationships can leave one or both partners bruised and battered from chronic emotional abuse. Many become closed-off toward any prospect of having their heart ripped out, from yet another toxic relationship. Others, find themselves having the same types of relationship with different partners and asking the question, “Why do I keep attracting the same man/woman over and over again?” 
As children, our experiences dictated how we attached to our caregivers. Unfortunately, how we attach to our caregivers, have also proven to be an indicator of how we now experience our close adult relationships; especially romantic ones. 
In this book, I will be focusing on the Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style, and how this style of attachment now dictates how this individual interacts with their significant others in romantic relationships. 
Attachment styles affect every type of relationship, however, the effects are further magnified in romantic relationships, because of the lack of emotional intelligence and depth, this attachment style is challenged with. 
In this book, you will learn how to identify the dismissive avoidant attachment style individual, some of the challenges they face in their relationships, and finally, given you some tools (exercises) to help move you toward a more secure way of experiencing relationships.
