Abstract:
El presente proyecto SOUL PETS consiste en un servicio de cremación de mascotas ecológico, el cual incluye el recojo, la cremación, el acompañamiento de los familiares durante el proceso de cremación, la entrega de las cenizas de su mascota en una urna o macetero de acuerdo a elección del cliente. Asimismo, la entrega del certificado de cremación y recuerdo de su mascota. Todo lo anteriormente expuesto se realiza bajo un servicio higienizado y personalizado con personal calificado para manejo de este tipo de situaciones debido a que las mascotas son consideradas como un miembro más de los hogares peruanos. Nuestro servicio está direccionado a personas o familias de un segmento socioeconómico de nivel A, B y C de las zonas de Lima Moderna (Surco, La Molina, Miraflores, San Miguel, San Borja, San Isidro, Jesús María y Barranco). Nuestro público objetivo cuenta con una o más mascotas de diferentes especies. Son personas que sienten mucho cariño hacia sus mascotas y en general hacia los animales. También, personas que tienen destinado un presupuesto mensual para ellas en distintos artículos como comida, aseo, ropa, medicinas, juguetes, etc. Es preciso señalar que la manera que la empresa llegará a sus clientes será por el canal online enfatizando en las redes sociales debido al difícil momento que se viene atravesando el Perú por la pandemia y cumpliendo los protocolos de sanidad. No obstante, se realizará acuerdos estratégicos con veterinarias, albergues, comunidades de mascotas, entre otras más con el objetivo de contar con un canal directo.
The present SOUL PETS project consists of an ecological pet cremation service, which includes the pick-up, the cremation, the accompaniment of the family members during the cremation process, the delivery of your pet's ashes in an urn or pot according to the client's choice. Also, the delivery of the cremation certificate and souvenir of your pet. All the above mentioned is done under a sanitized and personalized service with qualified personnel to handle this type of situations because pets are considered as another member of the Peruvian homes. Our service is directed to people or families of a socioeconomic segment of level A, B and C of the areas of Lima Modern (Surco, La Molina, Miraflores, San Miguel, San Borja, San Isidro, Jesus Maria and Barranco). Our target public has one or more pets of different species. They are people who are very fond of their pets and animals in general. Also, people who have a monthly budget for them in different items such as food, grooming, clothes, medicine, toys, etc. It should be noted that the way the company will reach its customers will be through the online channel, emphasizing on social networks due to the difficult time that Peru is going through due to the pandemic and complying with health protocols. However, strategic agreements will be made with veterinaries, shelters, pet communities, among others in order to have a direct channel.

Abstract:
According to the Webster's unabridged dictionary, a mania is an excessively intense enthusiasm, interest, or desire; a craze. I experience a mania on a daily basis: I take photographs. I trap photographs inside flat, airless fish tanks where time stands still. The creatures captured inside the tanks resurrect every time I see them to remind me of a sound, an odor, a flavor, and, ultimately, a feeling I once experienced and now cherish. This project will attempt to show the energy captured in my photographic archives as a journey through my memories using an experimental interactive method.

Abstract:
Twitter has over 313 million users, with 500 million tweets produced each day. Society’s growing dependence on the internet for self-expression shows no sign of abating. However, recent research warns that social media perpetuates loneliness, caused by reduced face-to-face interaction. My thesis analyzes and demonstrates the important role facial expressions play in a conversation’s progress, impacting how people process and relate to what is being said. My work critically assesses communication problems associated with Twitter. By isolating and documenting expressive facial reactions to a curated selection of tweets, the exhibition creates a commentary on our contemporary digital existence, specifically articulating how use of social media limits basic social interaction.

Abstract:
The research component, "Body and Soul", is an interdisciplinary, comparative study of the essay form, focusing on the Weimar period. The essay is a marginal literary genre, which, like much documentary style photography, attempts "the imaginative recreation of a culture, a period or an individual". August Sander's photographic opus, People of the 20th Century and Robert Musil's essayistic novel, The Man Without Qualities invite comparison as complex and problematic portraits of their respective societies. Sander's typological portraits are well known and his legacy informs much of contemporary documentary photography. Sixty images were published in 1929 by Kurt Wolff, Transmare Verlag, Munich, as Antlitz der Zeit (Face of Our Time) with an introduction by Alfred D??blin. The rust two volumes of Robert Musil's, Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften (The Man Without Qualities), were published in 1930 and 1932 by Rowohlt Verlag, Hamburg. Recent publication of new editions of both Musil's and Sander's works prompted the attempt to reconcile two portraits of people and events of the early decades of the 20th Century in Germany and Austria. The essay form in literature and the documentary style in photography are examined with regard to the polemic associated with truth and reality. This review attempts to illustrate the inevitable inclusion of the fictional element into the fabric of both forms of investigation. The study concludes with a review of contemporary art practice in photo-documentary and some thoughts on future developments. The studio component, "Dargan", is a photographic essay of a site in the Blue Mountains West of Sydney. Focusing on relics of industrial activity in the region, and their effects on the landscape, large format colour photographs were produced to establish a documentary style body of work for exhibition as large-scale colour analogue prints. The work is the response to a need to engage with the Australian landscape and to establish a sustainable practice that recognises and takes into account an ambivalent relationship with "country".

It is the aim of this thesis to provide a systematic account of Plotinus' theory of the Soul. One main focus is on the so-called hypostasis Soul, an entity which Plotinus introduced into philosophy and which has been hardly considered in the literature up to now. I discuss why Plotinus introduced it, what it is, and what its relation is to individual souls.

Abstract:
The abstract pieces I create now are part of an ongoing evolution in my work to arrive at a visual balance between rigid structure and organic movement. Initially, they were intended as a departure from representational imagery to allow for more focus on color harmonies and structural balance. After more than twenty-five years of rendering objects and things, it became too predictable and “safe” for me to take my work seriously. As it has been suggested that most abstraction derives from reality in some form, I was intrigued by those rings of light we see when closing our eyes. I liked the idea of appropriating an archetypal image that was neither real nor unreal. Through the painting process, I have come to appreciate how a dialogue can be generated between the formal, visual elements, and the intuitive, more instinctive realm of aesthetics. Spontaneity and deliberate avoidance of pre-conceived imagery are important to me. I like the idea that ambiguity can create an environment for open interpretation. Most importantly, I am moving closer to work that is true to me.

Giannakopoulou, Maria. "Plato on soul and body." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2002. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1112/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the development of Plato's thought on the subject of the soul-body relation. I will not attempt to cover everything that Plato says about the soul - for example I will discuss 'proofs' of immorality only in so far as they have a bearing on the interpretation of soul and body. In this life at least human beings have both a soul and a body; as a result, the soul by necessity interacts with the body. This interaction, though, is not simply an interrelation between two completely different and separate entities; rather the relation between soul and body is far more complicated. The purpose of the introduction is to present a preliminary view of the soul, in that way we could better understand the background that Plato had to take under consideration. Within the introduction the Apology is used so as to show the importance of the idea of the soul in Socratic ethics, and to indicate that the Socratic idea that we should care for the soul rather than the body, becomes crucial within Plato's philosophy. The dialogues that follow, the Gorgias and the Meno, provide early indications of the complex relation required between soul and body, for Plato's moral, metaphysical and epistemological concerns. Thus, although Plato, in these dialogues, does not give us a clear definition of the soul's nature and its relation to the body, the perplexity and ambiguity concerning the soul's nature leads to the more detailed analysis of it in later dialogues. The Phaedo appears to offer a view of the soul as a simple immaterial entity wholly distinct from the body. Even within this dialogue, though, there are signs that this simple view of the soul is not adequate for Plato's moral and metaphysical concerns, this becomes evident as well in the Symposium.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2001.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 40-41).
This thesis proposes to "re-embed" the "global nomad" into the context of an increasingly globalized world at the room scale. I define re-embedding as the "plugging in" of social relationships to local contexts and their recombination across time/space distances in order to establish a sense of continuity and order in events including those not directly within the perceptual environment of the individual. The term global nomads refer to a population of people who travel frequently and globally due to the nature of their jobs. Their transitory lifestyle restricts them to live principally in hotels or other temporary accommodations. The options available to global nomads are limited and do not adequately provide for the sense of place. The research focuses on the lifestyle of global nomads from fashion, technology, to living environment i.e. furniture. It interprets fashion and technology as layers and wires that both filter and protect the global nomads like a cocoon. It interprets the blase attitude towards thehomogeneouss living environment in the urban, metropolitan context as the culprit for the need to liberate. The thesis aims to expand the dimension of the 'cocoon' through the design of a wall of technology (transient) and the room as an open landscape (permanent) where the making-of place can begin to happen. The room then becomes an object that can be strategically 'plugged in' to existing buildings at nodes of an intense, urban context locally.

Striowski, Andra. "Aristotle on Time and the Soul." Thesis, Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/34579.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis I seek to explain a simple and yet quite difficult point about the nature of time: time is not motion, despite the fact that time and motion seem to be intertwined and interdependent. Aristotle calls time “something of motion (ti tēs kinēseōs).” His most concentrated account of time is presented within his treatise on physics, which is devoted to the study of motion and its principles and causes. The challenge of interpreting Aristotle’s account of time is to understand how it is fitting both that 1) a discussion about the nature of time emerges within the Physics, and that 2) a full and adequate account of time must exceed the scope of physics. Such a challenge obliges our attention not only as readers of Aristotle, but is furthermore relevant to anyone who seeks to give a coherent account of time, as one must in any case confront the ways in which time differs from motion while being an indispensable condition of it. Near the end of his account of time in the Physics, Aristotle presents us with an aporia that speaks directly to this challenge when he asks whether or not there can be time without soul. I suggest that a negative answer to this question – if time cannot exist without soul – means that the nature of time properly extends beyond physics. Aristotle has left it up to us to explore this possibility, since he does not pursue it explicitly himself. He merely formulates it in the Physics as a question. However, I argue that the absence of a definitive answer to this question there is not a sign that the nature of time is somehow beyond the capacity of Aristotle’s thought. After examining Aristotle’s account of time in the Physics, I look at his corpus more broadly, paying close attention to the way that Aristotle distinguishes the soul from the rest of nature at the beginning of the De Anima. The distinction between the living and the non-living is not made in the Physics, because it is not required for that study. In the Physics Aristotle studies what is shared by living things and the elements that sustain life within the ordered cosmos. As such, the focus of the Physics is on the causes of motion and change as what connects and distinguishes embodied individuals within this whole. But what it would mean to say that time depends on soul, and not simply on motion, cannot be addressed adequately in the Physics, since what distinguishes the activities of living from the incomplete activity of moving does not pertain to the main concerns of this treatise. By paying respectful attention to the structure of distinctions that organize Aristotle’s works as such, I make the case for time’s dependence on soul. I examine Aristotle’s accounts of animal and human awareness of time in the De Anima and Parva Naturalia and find that certain activities of the soul – sensation, memory, and deliberative reasoning - provide resources that can help us come to understand the most perplexing features of his account of time in the Physics, precisely those features that the analogies between time and motion or magnitude fail to explain: the simultaneity of diverse motion, the sameness and difference of the now, the differentiation of time into parts, and the way that time contains and exceeds (“numbers”) all possible motions. Thus I conclude that there cannot be time without soul, because the soul’s active nature must come into view in order to explain the features of time that distinguish it from motion.

Abstract:
This exegesis frames my studio thesis, which explores whether visual art can be a site for reconciliation, a tool for healing, an educational experience and a political act. It details how my art work evolved as a series of cycles and stages, as a systematic engagement with people, involving them in a process of investigating 'their' own realities - both the stories of their inner worlds and the community story framework of their outer conditions. It reveals how for my ongoing work as an indigenous artist, I became the learner and the teacher, the subject and the object. Of central importance for my exploration was the concept and methodology of bothways. As a social process, bothways action-learning methodology was found to incorporate the needs, motivations and cultural values of the learner through negotiated learning. Discussion of bothways methodology and disciplinary context demonstrated the relationships, connections and disjunctions shared by both Aboriginal and Western domains and informed the processes and techniques to position visual art as an educational experience and a tool for healing. From this emerged a range of ARTsongs - installations which reveal possible new alternatives sites for reconciliation, spaces and frames of reference to 'open our minds, heart and spirit so we can know beyond the boundaries of what is acceptable, so that we can think and rethink, so that we can create new visions, transgressions - a movement against and beyond boundaries' (hooks, 1994 p.12). Central to studio production was bricolage as an artistic strategy and my commitment to praxis - to weaving together my art practice with hands-on political action and direct involvement with my communities. I refer to this as the trial and feedback process or SIDEtracks. These were documented acts of personal empowerment, which led to a more activist role in the political struggle of reconciliation. I conclude that, as aboriginal people, we can provide a leadership role, and in so doing, we can demonstrate to the wider community how to move beyond a state of apathy.

Mawby, Helen Margaret Clare. "Courage and the soul in Plato." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2006. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1115/.

Full text
Abstract:
In the Introduction I briefly lay out the history of the value terms that I will be considering in my thesis and consider the philosophical relevance of the development of such values in the 5th century. The infiltration of modern ideas of morality into what was considered to be good to the Greeks has a great influence on the literature and philosophy of this period. Plato prioritises these quiet moral virtues, but also tries to hang on to some of what had come before, and thus faces difficulties with his moral theory. I will show that courage presents Plato with an acute difficulty when attempting to develop a consistent ethical theory. In Chapter 2 I look at the Protagoras where the main issues about courage that Plato will continue to discuss throughout his life are introduced. The questions of the extent to which the virtues can be taught and the unity of the virtues are introduced early on. What follows is an attempt to explain and justify the Socratic idea that the virtues are co-dependent and that they all in some way boil down to knowledge. In Chapter 3 on the Laches I will show that the discussion focuses more particularly on the virtue of courage and is mostly a more sophisticated attempt to understand courage than the one presented in the Protagoras. In the following three chapters (4-6) I examine the position taken in the Republic in detail, which I take to be more representative of the Platonic rather than Socratic position. Plato’s psychological model – which includes direct influence from the lower soul – is a more reasonable interpretation of the internal workings of the agent than the simpler model in the early dialogues of the only direct motivator being beliefs or knowledge. The chapter on the Laws considers the idea that some of the apparent differences between the Republic and the Laws are due to Plato’s growing realisation that courage will not be assimilated into a unified ethical theory of the type that he wishes to propose.

This work deals with a musical genre that borders jazz, gospel and blues, so-called soul-jazz, which peaked in popularity in the 1960s in the USA and as a predominantly afro-american art form went almost unnoticed by the mainstream critics and journalists. The aim of the analysis is to specify it’s characteristics, introduce it’s representatives out of guitarists and describe their musical careers and style. The output of the thesis will be enrichment of my own style in both improvisation and composition.

Full text
Abstract:
This research offers a practitioner’s perspective of jazz performance on the Hammond organ in the areas of history, cultural location, improvisational vocabularies & performance paradigms. George E. Lewis’ Afrological/Eurological ideology provides a framework for understanding the function of the organ in African-American society and its relevance to the chitlin’ circuit. Afrological values are defined, supported by interviews with Lou Donaldson, Ben Dixon, Larry Goldings, Caesar Frazier, Nate Lucas, Radam Schwartz, Don Williams, Michael Cuscuna, Bruce Forman and Bill Heid. Beginning with the progenitors of jazz organ, analysis of detailed original transcriptions document early performance styles on the Hammond organ, revealing an inherent link to big-band arrangements and sonorities. These provide stark contrast to the paradigm shift caused by Jimmy Smith’s application of hard bop and rhythm ’n’ blues styles to the organ in the mid-1950s, which creates a new musical movement within African-American culture. As the central character in this research, Smith’s improvisational vocabulary is codified, exposing unique rhythmic features such as Smithtuplets, melodic features including succedent blues grace notes, and sonic considerations inherent in the Hammond organ such as harmonic foldback. Further supported by interviews with organists Dr. Lonnie Smith, Wil Blades, Mike Flanigin and Jay Denson, Smith’s new performance paradigm is described in terms of groove and creative co-ordination, dispelling some myths regarding the use of bass pedals. Finally, using Afrological values as a guiding principle, Smith’s vocabulary and performance paradigm is converted into a personal pedagogy. This pedagogy is documented using performance videos and transcribed examples, and is further supported by recordings of new original compositions and jazz standards in organ/guitar/drums format.

Abstract:
Denim jackets look and feel better over time as they mould to your body. If you’re into the kind of fashion where you pin button badges onto a denim jacket, your badges might cover a range of topics from politics, to dumb humour, to pop culture and even if they seem unconnected at first, there’ll usually be some aesthetic or political connection while also being connected by you/your gross body. The first artwork I made for this project was a series of badges featuring hand drawn, eclectic, joke-work text I’d originally posted online and the practice of transforming text-jokes that cover diverse subject matter into art objects was the primary technique I employed for this project. Since I’ve tried to be funny (sorry) my written dissertation is an extension of the joke-work/art-texts in my creative work that follows the themes of smut and gross bodies (chapter one), common unhappiness (chapter two), reflexive impotence (chapter three), and self-exposure/desiring-machines (chapter four). Overarching is a lightly fictionalised version of myself partly because my miserable love life was a spectre hanging over my creative work but also in line with Cixous’s belief that a dominant feature in women’s writing is a tendency to insert the personal into the historical, with speech that ‘even when “theoretical” or political, is never simple or linear or “objectified,” generalised'. (Hélène Cixous, ‘The Laugh of the Medusa', 881.) Like Mark Fisher’s Ghosts of My Life and Chris Kraus’s I Love Dick, my paper emphasises the interaction between the personal and the academic and I’ve attempted to punctuate a study of my emotions with theoretical dropped pins. I wish I could have used comic sans as the font, but I guess I’ll have to save that for my manifesto.

This seven-chapter book, highlighted like a trail guide with Markers, will ease you into most basic, repeated themes found in the ancient texts. What is called the Old and New Testaments is a remarkable collection. It is intimidating for sure, but wise, prophetic, thorough and particular, with echoes that repeat into every culture. Through story and turn-arounds you will see how some very different individuals, in different times found their way into God’s real and sustaining peace. They listened to and reckoned with what God offers for soul survival. There’s hope here if you'll take it.

Abstract:

The historical co-arising of cinema and depth psychology at the end of the nineteenth century has received little attention in academic discourse. While the psychoanalytic theory of Freud has been applied both to the analysis of cinema as technological apparatus and to the interpretation of individual films, the analytical psychology of Jung also has been applied to cinema and depth psychology as phenomena which emerged in response to specific historical considerations. Two such considerations associated with modernity are the decline of spiritual or religious meaning in the lives of individuals and the related alienation of individuals and societies from nature.

This theoretical dissertation explores several ways in which cinema and depth psychology reconnect individuals and collectives with a meaningful embodied existence. In the process the dissertation argues that a metaphorical return to Plato's allegorical cave is underway. If Plato's cave signifies a state of unconsciousness which individuals must leave for enlightenment, then the cinema-as-cave and therapist's office-as-cave facilitate a return to and re-experiencing of the energies of the unconscious. In addition to the more Platonic and post-Enlightenment light of reason, such re-experiencing relies on what alchemists refer to as the lumen naturae, or light of nature, and sensus naturae, or sense of nature.

Amplification of several images from Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams and Martin Scorsese's Hugo reveals a psycho-historical continuum along which ancient cave paintings and modern cinema are positioned on either side of Plato's cave. The emphasis placed on symbols, images, and metaphorical processes by Jungian and Post-Jungian film theorists demonstrates that cinema affords a reconnection to levels of the psyche more commonly and collectively experienced in antiquity. In this way, films operate as individual and collective dreams and thereby connect the cinematic dreamer to a source of wisdom different from that which dominates waking consciousness. The dissertation refers to this often spiritual or religious reconnection to different levels of the psyche as deep realism.

Abstract:

Using Heideggerian interpretive phenomenology, this study illuminates the lived experience of an adapted dance program for individuals with Down syndrome and their family members. The overall pattern from both dancers and family members was adapted dance: connecting mind, body and soul. The primary theme from dancer interpretations was expressing a mosaic of positive experiences, and the primary theme from family member interpretations was experiencing pride in their loved ones. The dance program provided dancers an opportunity to express their authentic self while experiencing moments of full embodiment in the connection of their mind, body and soul. While dancers experienced the connection of mind-body-soul, family members recognized the importance of this connection in their loved one. This research is instrumental in advocating for opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome to experience dance as a social, physical and intellectual activity that results in learning and increasing social interactions. The research findings from this study can support future initiatives for dance programs that may influence a population that has limited access to physical activity and dance. The study's teaching strategies, dance activities, class procedures and sequences, and feedback techniques can be used by other professionals who teach individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Whittle, Selena. "Healing the soul| The experience and transformative impact of the Person-Centered Soul Retrieval method of Shaman Ross Bishop." Thesis, Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10012880.

Full text
Abstract:

This dissertation research investigated the experience and the transformational impact of the Person-Centered Soul Retrieval (PCSR) shamanic healing method of Shaman Ross Bishop on personal healing and transformation. PCSR is 1 intervention in a larger shamanic healing process which was modified from Mayan shamanism specifically for use in the United States and potentially for use in other Western societies. The intended result of the shamanic healing is transformation of the self towards wholeness, or integration of the inner parts of an individual, which is a goal inherent to transpersonal psychology. The potential for the use of this shamanic healing process in psychotherapy today is promising, yet evidence for its efficacy and impact was only anecdotal. The purpose of this study then, was to describe, analyze, and interpret the experience and the transformational impact of the specific process of PCSR, 1 aspect of the larger healing system. The current research used a case study method appropriate for exploratory and descriptive research. Based on the logic of replication, a multiple case study design with 5 independent cases was conducted. Participants received the PSCR intervention in 1 or more sessions, the number of which depended on participants’ individual therapeutic needs. Multiple sources of data included transcripts of all intervention sessions; session notes taken during each session; semistructured participant journal entries after each session, as well as at the end of the treatment cycle; and transcripts of a semistructured final interview with the participants. Data analysis included thematic content analysis with an inductive process to identify themes, as well as to discover descriptive evidence for themes. Pattern matching was used within each case, then aggregated across cases in a cross-case analysis. Results of all 5 of the individual cases and cross-case analyses support the efficacy of the PCSR intervention by demonstrating a significant transformative impact on all participants in emotional, cognitive, and/or behavioral areas.

Full text
Abstract:
My thesis considers the complex and productive relationship established between theories of time and theories of the soul in the late sixteenth and early to mid-seventeenth century. The first chapter examines treatments of how time relates to the soul in commentaries on Aristotle’s Physics in this period. It shows that these late Aristotelian theories of the ontology of time were diverse and philosophically interesting, and that new, eclectic answers to this question emerged in textbooks of natural philosophy in the early seventeenth century. I argue that this period saw a shift from describing time in terms of its relationship to the soul towards a notion of being in time. The second chapter examines the role of time in early modern commentaries on Aristotle’s De anima. It shows how assumptions about time and duration drawn from contemporary metaphysics and natural philosophy related (sometimes uneasily) to theories of how the bodies and souls of human and animals operated in time, in a complex and unjustly-neglected ‘psychology’ of time. The third chapter concerns the role of the concept of time in French and English theories of the passions of the soul in the early seventeenth century. These authors drew in part on the rich Aristotelian context previously examined, but also engaged with Stoic and Thomist themes. I show how many authors explored the operation and pathology of the passions, and the need to govern our passions, in terms of temporality and the human subject’s self-orientation in time. The second part of the thesis relates the arguments of the three previous chapters to the philosophy of Hobbes and Descartes. It argues that the complexity of baroque scholasticism and passion psychology informed the ways that they thought about the nature of man as a temporal and political subject. The fourth chapter argues that much of Descartes’ treatment of time can be read as a critical engagement with his late Aristotelian context, and identifies the place of these arguments about time and the soul within his account of the human subject. The final chapter reconstructs Hobbes’s theory of how time relates to the mind in De corpore, The elements of law and in his debate with Thomas White. It shows how a concern with time fundamentally underlies his psychology and concept of the human subject and consequently shaped the political theory of his best-known work, Leviathan (1651).

Full text
Abstract:

This thesis explores the healing effects of surrender to and trust in the alchemical nature of the psyche to produce psychospiritual transformation toward wholeness and wellbeing. Through alchemical hermeneutic, heuristic, and intuitive methodologies the research explores healing outcomes of merging with the divine through a relationship with a guru, consciously being in a love relationship, and engaging with astrology as alchemical processes that help to integrate unconscious content into consciousness. The author observes the alchemical process in the merging of heaven and earth, or cosmos and psyche, as it weaves through her own life. She tracks the alchemy through which an interpersonal love relationship and encounters with the guru Mata Amritanandamayi produced both physical and emotional healing. The thesis also explores the psychotherapeutic use of astrology and suggests ways to integrate experiences of the divine, interpersonal love, and one's astrological chart into psychotherapy to support healing and movement toward wholeness.

Willett, Jonathan. "Soul models : rationalization and the art of subjectivity." Thesis, Nottingham Trent University, 2007. http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/248/.

Full text
Abstract:
In the exchange between theory and practice, art is appropriated as a creative mode of enquiry, a differential form of knowledge and experience in the processes of rationalization. As a differential in knowledge, art is explored as the practice of composition making differences out of established rationales - the discrete disciplines that find stability in economic, pedagogic and scientific discourse. As a differential in experience, art may contain the potential to destabilize social, historical and political constitutions of sense, working as an interference pattern in the production and reproduction of rational subjects. The academic distillation of the artist's know how into the 'art of subjectivity', draws both the subjects and objects of knowledge into this critical space of composition, a dynamic space of contestation in which the artist acquires the capacity to become an agent of cultural change. As a cultural and critical formation, the 'art of subjectivity' reactivates the art historical tradition of institutional critique. Re-evaluated through the critical and philosophical components of the doctoral research, the material rendition of institutional critique is configured as a series of artistic engagements with the procedural and regulatory codes of practice that comprise the info-structure of instrumental reason. Through a gradual synthesis of process and product, the 'art of subjectivity' begins to merge with the arts (techniques) of rationalization, drawing upon rather than resisting the bureaucratic, informational, scientific-technical and semiotic energies of political economy. In the aesthetic merger of productive processes there emerges an affirmative mode of critique, the 'constructive criticism' of the intelligent artist whose purpose in the doctoral research is to interrogate the terms and conditions of knowledge and experience, and in the process open up new possibilities of expression. Constructive criticism foregrounds what art can do in the register of production, as opposed to what it means in the register of comprehension. Artwork is situated on the side of creation, whereby the work of art is conceived as an aesthetic process, an aggregate form of thought and action, which in the doctoral research develops as the 'intelligence key' of the combination-composition. The artwork as intelligence key is designed to unlock the established practices of discrete disciplines in an attempt to realize a more permeable, inquisitive condition of subjectivity, recomposed in a connective fabric of affective and perceptual understanding. In this respect, the 'art of subjectivity' is motivated by the desire to deregulate what limits the potential for expression, questioning how sense becomes restricted as a basis for remaking the thresholds of knowledge and experience. It is envisaged that the doctoral investigation will be of value for artists who wish to develop a critical role for their work in the context of academic research. Through the composition and recomposition of method the 'art of subjectivity' yields a palette of practices, any one of which could be re-appropriated by the critically minded artist. Conversely, the techniques of constructive criticism provide an operating model for the perceptive critical theorist who may wish to utilize art as the practice of least restriction, in the strategic integration of creative thought and action.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to build up a picture of what it has meant for us within the western canon to educate a human being through the depths and heights of existence. It uses narrative accounts of educational journeys from ancient, medieval and early modern sources to develop an integral picture of the spectrum of education along with the techniques and fore-structures needed to guide a student through the various stages and encounters. Key metaphors, journeys and relationships - Diotirna's ladder of beauty, Plato's cave, Philo's Abraham and Sarah, Origen's bride and Bridegroom, Plotinus' journey of the alone to the Alone, Augustine's Confessions, the tragic love of Abelard and Heloise, Dante's encounters in the infernal, purgatorial and paradisical realms of human experience, Shakespeare's great playing within the same realm, and Descartes' doubting genius provide a rich ensemble, each resonating with the next, opening out intellectual, affective, volitional, and imaginative paths through the full terrain of human existence. This multidimensional approach points towards a flexible and insightful pedagogics that works with the enormous variety and capacity of human learning rather than heavy-handedly insisting on one path, or, even worse, not recognizing and dealing with specific areas of human living that occur in the upper and lower reaches of our educational endeavours. Phenomenological, Hermeneutic and Integral methods suggested by Heidegger and Wilber amongst others were used to inform the process of research. The results of this thesis are not contained in its reconunendations but in the effects of its reading. It is itself a tool that embodies and encourages the principles of an educational tradition that has existed within the history of western learning, not seeking a return to ancient or medieval ways but to provide a backlight that assists current initiatives working with the full range of human potential.

In this hermeneutic and autoethnographic study I explore and analyze two different music projects, and the process of working with them at the same time. The purpose of this is to find practical, psychological, and artistic insights.The results ascertain that tech-death and neo-soul are linked together by jazz and early twentieth century classical music, both culturally and music-theoretic. Further conclusions illuminated my own constructed role in music production and defined similarities in workflow in terms of both genres.
