  Nostos - An Autobiography

  John Moriarty

  • 0

  In this astonishing volume of autobiography, John Moriarty s earlier works of mystical philosophy, Dreamtime and Turtle Was Gone a Long Time, are given a biographical grounding. Inhabited by all that he reads and perceives, Moriarty recovers lost forms of sensibility and categories of understanding, reconciling them gloriously within the arc of his life.
   
  Nostos is a Greek word meaning homecoming . In its plural form, nostoi, it was the name of an extensive body of literature in ancient Greece about the Greek heroes who returned from the Trojan Wars. Most of this literature has perished, but we do have the Odyssey, describing the long homecoming of Odysseus to Ithaca. Moriarty's book assumes that for various reasons humanity is now exiled from the earth, but by reimagining it and ourselves as involved in a common destiny, it enacts a homecoming, a nostos to it.
   
  In pursuit of this enterprise the book unwinds an Ariadne's skein of sponsoring and enabling myths, not all of them indigenous, some f them inaugurating an alternative to our Western way.

  We all have different capacities to handle what life throws at us. Yet in a world that constantly demands more, we often judge ourselves, and others, when things don't go as planned. 
  Mind Your Buckets! introduces a simple, life-changing metaphor: we each carry a unique set of "emotional buckets" that hold our capacity for stress, joy, anger, connection, and more. Your buckets are not the same size as anyone else's, and that's okay. 
  This compassionate guide, from author Jenny Battig, offers a clear path to self-acceptance by helping you map your own emotional architecture. You'll discover why some days a minor setback feels overwhelming, while others you can conquer the world. 
  This book is a practical toolbox for daily emotional maintenance. You will learn how to: 
  - Prevent emotional overflow from stress and difficult experiences. 
  - Keep your Good Stuff buckets full and avoid running dry of positive emotions. 
  - Identify and remove subconscious "rocks" that are silently limiting your capacity. 
  - Reduce judgment toward yourself and foster radical empathy for others. 
  Stop striving to fit into a one-size-fits-all emotional mold. It's time to understand your limits, manage your capacity, and enjoy feeling more balanced and in the flow for a fulfilling life! 
  Supplemental PDF included with lists of sample emotional buckets.

  DON'T BECOME A WRITER - Excerpt...

  A calling, an eruption, a phenomenon, an occurrence, a state of flow, an outlet for outburst, an involuntary muscle contortion, a summoning, an awakening, a release, an instinctual truth, a fleeting rarity, an escape from the commotion, a coming and going concussion... Call it what you will; Just don't call yourself a writer when you’re not writing. © 
  Fundamentally, this book isn't "about" anything but submission of a poetry and prose collection that had to be a world level thank you letter to American artist Charles Bukowski whom I had found later in life as a reminder that there was no doing this right. "This" refers to the notion of what it means to be a writer, as the pieces encompassing this collection stem from realization of a rooted "no effort" and invasive take over in the course of my life. 
  Simultaneously, I brutally address what it took to learn that this was ok. 
  Young adults of the art feel stigmatized into forcing creativity scholastically, whilst thinking their expression is restricted, not being trained to listen to their gut or feel strongly by standing on their own experiences. Even if it’s just by momentarily putting the mathematical thinking aside. I'd come across this the hard way from tutoring the subject of English first hand and sympathizing with people putting pressure on themselves in torment when they have "writer's block", so this could very well relate to aspiring writers in exercising patience. The purpose is to console by unpacking the nitty gritty, hard-hitting truths relating to existentialism, internal crises and sporadic nature that artists experience which the world doesn't often get insight into. 
  But ultimately, this is an "I love you" to the grace we can pay as humans with the capability to simply let go when we know it's time.
