Synopsis "Contentment: Creation of a Unique Spiritual Identity (in English)"
My life's work as a physician, psychiatrist, and alternative healer has been the investigation of social oppression, and how to block or reverse its effects. As a writer, I have created a series of books, therapies, and biotechnologies with this specific goal in mind, united under the rubric: Freedom from Social Oppression. To compose an anthology comprised of mostly previously published narratives and essays allows me, as an author, to transmit focused messages that are oftentimes lost in the original works. Along with these messages come distinct feeling tones, as the written word is filtered through the refractive prism of a distinct voice and laser-honed topic. As in the original books, these true stories about my life history and clinical experience are vivid, emotionally provocative, and unforgettable. They have been perceived as brilliant journalistic and social exposés, which are pregnant with meaning and, ultimately, uplifting. The organizing theme for this anthology is spirituality, which demands special treatment, for we currently inhabit a world filled with superficial religiosity, gross material greed, and pervasive cynicism. You will find that these pages relate different perspectives about contentment, such as how an individual can create a meaningful life- filled with love, ecstatic moments, mystery, and unabashed honesty. Moreover, thanks to my many decades of research on shame and social oppression, I can offer a path to our collective wellbeing and freedom that holds historic promise. The other anthologies in this series center on the topics of racial, adult, and sexual identity formation.
