CLASSIC BOOK REVIEW “The Death of Religion and the Rebirth of Spirit” JOSEPH CHILTON PEARCE. 1926-2016
WE are shaped by each other. We adjust not to the reality of a world, but to the reality of other thinkers.
PLAY is the royal road to childhood happiness and adult brilliance.
ONE’S CAPACITY FOR METAPHOR IS ONE’S CAPACITY FOR A FULL LIFE.
“JOSEPH CHILTON PEARCE’S GENIUS and deep, essential humanity illuminate the most meaningful and important issue of our day — our relationship with Spirit and the all-too-often-toxic history and motivation of organized religion.”
THOM HARTMAN “The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight”
“IN THIS REMARKABLE BOOK JOSEPH CHILTON PEARCE goes to the very memetic ‘DNA’ of our culture and recodes it to affirm life’s potential. He masterly helps us to release the destructive aspects of religion and modern society, while affirming the magnificent reality of the spirit and the heartfelt intelligence that can guide us forward.”
BARBARA MARX HUBBARD president of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution.
From the introduction:
PEARCE EXPLAINS that, beneath our awareness, our culture imprints a negative force field that blocks the natural rise of our spirit toward our true, innate nature of love and altruism. Further, he identifies religion as the primary cultural force behind this negative imprinting. Drawing from recent neuroscience, neurocardiology, cultural anthropology, and brain development research, Pearce explains the key to reversing this trend can be found in the interaction between infants and adults. The adult mind-set effectively compromises the infant’s neural and hormonal interactions between the heart and the higher evolutionary structures of the developing brain, thus keeping us centered primarily in our most primitive and defensive neural foundations, generation after generation. Pearce shows us that if we allow the intelligence of the heart to take hold and flourish, we can reverse this unconscious loss of our true nature.
JOSEPH CHILTON PEARCE:
ANY IDEA seriously entertained tends to bring about the realization
of itself.
THE PARENT KNOWS that the child cannot be artificially motivated to learn; they know that he is already motivated to learn; they know that he is already motivated by the strongest driving force on earth; his inner intent.
SEEING WITHIN CHANGES ONE’S OUTER VISION.
WE MUST ACCEPT that this creative pulse within us is God’s creative pulse itself.
A ‘school-at-home’ approach to homeschooling is just decorating the electric chair in different colors.
OUR REALITY is influenced by our notions about reality, regardless of the nature of those notions.
THE WORD ‘COMFORT’ comes from the Latin words for ‘with’ and ‘strength’ and originally meant operating from a position of power.
ADOLESCENTS sense a secret, unique greatness in themselves that seeks expression. They gesture towards the heart when trying to express any of this, a significant clue to the whole affair.
