Prompted by Angelenos' Healthy Obsession with All Things Wellness, We Explore the Intriguing and Much-Whispered-About World Of super Prompted by Angelenos’ healthy obsession with all things wellness, we explore the intriguing and much-whispered-about world of super healers. BY ELINA FUHRMAN AND TERENA EISNER hile not quite mainstream yet, many healing modalities have morphed from alternative to acceptable ways to address the needs of our mind, body and soul to complement Western medicine. We’re seeing yoga,W acupuncture and meditation often prescribed, and even reiki therapy gaining acceptance at hospitals and clinics. In today’s work-obsessed culture, obtaining optimum health is the ultimate luxury. The super healers profi led here all insist they’re simply facilitators of self-healing, guides to empower anyone who is ready to tap into their innate ability to get well. They provide inspiration, help to nourish and heal our inner selves, aid in preventing and curing illnesses, and bring about positive change in our lives. They also appeal to our growing interest in spirituality—exploring deep-seated emotions, issues, memories and beliefs that are often ignored or unconscious. The philosophy is: Once a deeper level of awareness exists and change occurs, it is possible to heal. Highly educated and naturally gifted, they’re in high demand by moguls, executives, producers, directors and celebrities. Some work by referral only and have monthslong waiting lists.

Dissertations (2009 -). Paper 100. http://epublications.marquette.edu/dissertations_mu/100 WILLIAM JAMES’S UNDIVIDED SELF AND THE POSSIBILITY OF IMMORTALITY by Anthony G. Karlin, B.F.A. A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin May 2011 ABSTRACT WILLIAM JAMES’S UNDIVIDED SELF AND THE POSSIBILITY OF IMMORTALITY Anthony G. Karlin, B.F.A. Marquette University, 2011 The dissertation explores William James’s conception of the self and his belief in the possibility of immortality. In The Divided Self of William James, James scholar Richard M. Gale argues that James unwittingly advanced two incompatible types of selves: a self-assertive “Promethean” self who maximizes desire-satisfaction and a passive mystic self who favors conceptless, mystical intuition. I argue that Gale’s dichotomy of James is incorrect and that James’s conception of the self is better understood through his growing belief in the possibility of immortality. I develop this idea by considering relevant aspects of both James’s personal and philosophical development. I discuss the personal crises of James’s youth as well as the dilemmas he encountered as his philosophy evolved. I argue that one of the keys to understanding James’s conception of the self was his long-term involvement with psychic research and his association with the psychic medium Leonora Piper.
