Education as Service - Enriched edition

J. Krishnamurti

Publisher: DigiCat

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.

Creating Space - Story...

Sacha Pearce, Jan Collis

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.

High Times - The Extraordinary...

Jeremy Gordin, Roy Isacowitz

High Times is the true story of Michael Medjuck, whose taste for weed, women and the good life led him from late-1960s Johannesburg to notoriety as one of the biggest hash and weed smugglers in North America.
From his base in Vancouver, Michael built up a smuggling network that supplied dealers in scores of cities across Canada and the United States. The proceeds from smuggling afforded this former King David High School pupil a lifestyle of hedonistic excess – the finest wines, the most glamorous hookers, the best weed in the world.
In 1991, Michael was nabbed by US federal agents while smuggling an enormous shipload of Afghani hash into the West Coast of Canada. Put on trial as the scheme's mastermind, Michael was convicted and sentenced to 24 years behind bars.
His prison experiences, from dingy county lock-ups to brutal federal penitentiaries, are the stuff of legend. Eventually, a chance remark to his lawyer led to his early release and return to Canada.
After barely a year of freedom, Michael was again arrested – this time in Spain for an ill-judged cocaine smuggling venture – and sentenced to an additional prison term of nine years.
This is Michael's extraordinary story, as told to fellow South Africans Roy Isacowitz, author and journalist, and the late Jeremy Gordin, award-winning journalist, editor and author.
