In this book, Michael Downing shares his considerable experience, knowledge, off beat humor and profound insights gathered from decades of waring with his own hardcore drug abuse, while he simultaneously worked as a mental health/substance abuse psychotherapist. His career included gigs in rural community mental health centers, large urban hospital emergency rooms, "locked" psychiatric/substance abuse units, private practice and two State prisons. When it all fell down, he spent almost a decade intermittently homeless and rotating through many of the exact same facilities he had worked in. Determined to find a way out, he grew frustrated with the "Western" medical/disease model and the "quit harder" mentality, so he set about coming to a deeper understanding of chronic substance abuse and how to treat it.. His search took him back to his roots in Taoism and Jungian psychology, and eventually led him to the Jung Tao Institute of Classical;Chinese Medicine. In 2012 he enrolled in the four year Master's program. He graduated in 2016, thirty one years after completing his Master's degree in Clinical Counseling. Through his experiences, he came to see this disorder in a new light, and in the process, created a totally new paradigm of addiction. In "Transcending the Addiction Paradigm" Michael lays out this holistic platform based in Taoist cosmology, Jungian psychology, Classical Chinese medicine and the emerging science of bio-energetics. This new paradigm represents a fundamental shift away from neurological reductionism and illuminates a path leading far beyond a day to day struggle for "recovery." A path of change and spiritual ascension for those whose lives have been affected by this dis-order. A beautiful simplicity that connects the dots on every level, creating a "unified field theory" of substance abuse and treatment . :"Addiction is like a paper bag full of dog crap flaming on the front porch. Trying to make it go away by stomping on it just makes everything messier." Md I

Addiction is often thought about in terms of cause, be that brain chemistry, attachment patterns or cognitive schemas. But this does not allow an understanding of what addiction "is". It does not illuminate how addiction is lived. A phenomenology of addiction reveals that addiction is characterised by an intolerance of pain, a pursuit of pleasure, immediacy, technocratic solutions, alienation, ambiguity and is drenched in deception. These are its individual clinical manifestations, but this is also the way life, in this century, is lived. The addict is thus the ultimate 21st century subject, consuming without end, intolerant of emotion and unable to grasp their own limitations. Rather than embraced, these subjects act as a denied symptom, haunting late capitalism and exposing the vampire-like nature of our culture. As such, these subjects need to be treated not just as individuals who have "gone too far", but as victims of the political agenda shaping our lives. Thus the heart of the book is a description of addiction deepened by existential-phenomenological theory. This description is then used to understand the historical emergence of addiction, its socio-political manifestation and also the crucial issue of how to clinically treat the addict-subject.

This volume sheds new light on addiction and other ailments, detailing a recipe for transcendence. The author describes pattern addiction as the root of a variety of psychologicl and physical afflictions including what is traditionally called addiction. Drug addiction offers one of the most tangible examples of patterning and some of the most tangible evidence that addiction to a pattern can be transcended. Pattern addiction is part of the human condition. It frequently manifests itself in explicit symptoms such as drug addiction, physical pain, chronic ailments including ulcers, and even cancer. Implicit pattern addictions are built over a long period of time because most neurological programming takes place over time. This patterning becomes detrimental when the pattern is harmful to the emotional, physical, and/or spiritual well-being of the individual (or his family or community). All too often, medicine treats the explicit symptoms of an affliction without correcting the underlying and more implicit pattern addictions. This is due, in part, to the inability of current medical theory to do more.

This book addresses an epidemic that has developed on a global scale, and, which under the heading of “addiction,” presents a new narrative about the travails of the human predicament. The book introduces phenomenological motifs, such as desire, embodiment, and temporality, to uncover the existential roots of addiction, and develops Martin Heidegger’s insights into technology to uncover the challenge of becoming a self within the impulsiveness and depersonalization of our digital age. By charting a new path of philosophical inquiry, the book allows a pervasive, cultural phenomenon, ordinarily reserved to psychology, to speak as a referendum about the danger which technology poses to us on a daily basis. In this regard, addiction ceases to be merely a clinical malady, and instead becomes a “signpost” to exposing a hidden danger posed by the assimilation of our culture within a technological framework.

In ZeroTheology, John Tucker argues that not only can one be a Christian without holding any traditional beliefs but that one can only be a Christian by getting out of religious belief altogether. Utilizing the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, John offers a way of escaping the belief/disbelief trap that explains why believers and unbelievers cannot understand each other and why neither understands the alternative religious path that the author promotes. Tucker addresses many of today's most pressing religious questions and introduces his own: Why do evangelicals believe that homosexual fidelity is more harmful to marriage than heterosexual infidelity? Why are believers so bothered by science and so impressed by miracles? What if Sin and Grace are synonyms? What if Jesus is sinless in an ironic way? What is the difference between making judgments and passing judgment? Why does the literal versus metaphorical debate completely miss the point of religious language? Using Catch-22s, ZeroTheology offers a new way of looking at Christian religious life that emphasizes the non-reasonable transcendent choice over the perfectly reasonable choice of belief or unbelief.

"Rarely does a book come along that offers a highly original and compelling understanding of Tolkien's imaginal world. The Lure of the Ring is such a book. The Lure of the Ring takes us on a fascinating journey through the hearts and minds of some of Tolkien's most colorful characters in The Lord of the Rings, exploring with depth and insight how they respond to the allure of the One Ring. The primary focus is on two contrasting figures, the Dark Lord Sauron and Tom Bombadil - Tolkien's most enigmatic figure. Drawing on the deepest understandings of the psychology of addiction, the seductive allure of power, the stages of psychological development, and nondual spirituality, The Lure of the Ring provides a novel and thought-provoking answer to the most puzzling question in Tolkien lore: "Who is Tom Bombadil?" Offering unprecedented insights into Tolkien's characters, The Lure of the Ring also extends to readers an invaluable opportunity to explore more deeply their own relationship to power, addiction, psychological development and spiritual transformation" --

Examining the interdependent nature of substance, space, and subjectivity, this book constitutes an interdisciplinary analysis of the intoxication indigenous to what has been termed "our narcotic modernity." The first section – Drug/Culture – demonstrates how the body of the addict and the social body of the city are both inscribed by "controlled" substance. Positing addiction as a "pathology (out) of place" that is specific to the (late-)capitalist urban landscape, the second section – Dope/Sick – conducts a critique of the prevailing pathology paradigm of addiction, proposing in its place a theoretical reconceptualization of drug dependence in the terms of "p/re/in-scription." Remapping the successive stages or phases of our narcotic modernity, the third section – Narco/State – delineates three primary eras of narcotic modernity, including the contemporary city of "safe"/"supervised" consumption. Employing an experimental, "intra-textual" format, the fourth section – Brain/Disease – mimics the sense, state or scape of intoxication accompanying each permutation of narcotic modernity in the interchangeable terms of drug, dream and/or disease. Tracing the parallel evolution of "addiction," the (late-)capitalist cityscape, and the pathological project of modernity, the four parts of this book thus together constitute a users’ guide to urban space.

Discover what keeps you stuck—and prepare for a miraculous breakthrough. What if self-improvement is a booby-trap? And what if there is actually a way to change one’s life—in all areas, all at once—by finding and shifting the one hidden issue that has been creating all of the stuckness all along? Coming out of an abusive childhood and then living with the outcomes of that ongoing pain, Brian D. Ridgway invested over $300,000 and tens of thousands of hours over thirty-plus years on self-help, personal development, and business/money/success courses—as his life got worse and worse. Finding himself in desperate circumstances, suicidal and stuck, he experienced an awakening that took him from homeless to living the dream in Hawaii in less than ninety days. In that awakening, he was given the Level 5 Paradigm. Since that “miracle moment,” he has been able to help people around the world to take their first steps into true freedom—and in this book, he tells his story.
