Description: Moving Heaven And Earth Sexuality, Spirituality & Social Change by Lucy Goodison Pub. The Women's Press, 1990Hardback with dustjacket, 498pp Overall good condition with small tear to back of dust jacket and edges slightly grubby Unpacked weight 947g The West, according to this original and profoundly important book, has inherited a divided world view based on the splitting of mind from body and spirit from matter. Our language andd symbols reflect this division, and we think in pairs of opposites: male/female, white/black, active/bpassive, in ways which reinforce confiormist and often oppressive stereotypes. Challenging this way of seeing the world is a neglected part of political struggle. Moving Heaven and Earth argues that symbols are not god-given but man-made. The author's original research into early Cretan society shows how far we have come from an integrated world view, ith women at the centre of a religion based on nature's cycles of renewal and the circular movements of a female sun. Goodison offers practical exercises drawn from established and 'new age' therapies, to enable individuals to develop different symbolic vocabularies and challenge the mind/body split in their own lives.
