Psychoactive Poetry: Poetry Therapy Meditations on the Quest for Ultimate Meaning (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Psychoactive poetry is prejudiced in favor of vigorous and decidedly honest rationality. Psychoactive Poetry is suffused with a liquid color somewhere between blue and green. Call it blue. Call it green. Call it yellow, if you like me like yellow. I aims for a smooth distillation of verbal gymnastics catalyzed by the rashly discredited religious impulse. "To be religious", in the view of Albert Einstein, "is to have found an answer to the question, What is the meaning of life." The philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein held that "to believe in God is to see that life has a meaning." The renowned psychiatrist Viktor Frankl taught that the "will to meaning" is the "most human of human phenomena." He viewed religion as "the fulfillment of the will to ultimate meaning." The meditations in this poetry therapy resource book are offered with thoughts like these in mind. Psychoactive Poetry is rap city in blue light, a "head book" and hopefully, to quote John Coltrane, "a force for good" in your search for ultimate meaning in life.

Autorenporträt

David Washington holds a B. A. degree in Psychology and M. A. degree in Anthropology, the interface of culture and personality being the focus of his research and study. Throughout the years he has pursued a persistent interest, both as a writer and self-help enthusiast, in the efficacy of literature as an agent of personal development. His literature therapy publications are an outgrowth of this enthusiasm and an interest as a writer in art as for something more than its own sake.
