Christina Feldman, "Women awakened!" Ubaldini Editore, Rome 1990
" ... The women bring with them a story in which they have learned to listen entries from the outside rather than internal ones. As a child, we accept the taxes of others who told us how "we had to" be and what it meant to be "brave" and "good." We respond to these requests in order to ensure, in life, a certain level of affirmation, approval and security, and so the model is consolidated ... Following the path of contemplation and meditation we can undo the knots of the influences that lead us to prostrate themselves before authority (from the Introduction, pp. 9-10).
In these words is contained the justification of the way courage that the author has undertaken and is following, and laid the foundation with Christopher Titmuss of Gaia House Meditation Centre, in Great Britain probably constitutes a milestone.
For a woman who intends to take an original path of liberation the way is certainly more difficult. This should go beyond the myths raised by the fables, in which women are waiting for salvation from the outside, projecting outside the fears and hopes, samsaric pursuit for excellence, it is proposed systematically to women, until they the introjected.
Spiritual awakening, in short, for women necessarily proceed hand in hand with a path of emancipation.
However, since there can be no liberation without women il coinvolgimento delle categorie culturali maschili, questo è un libro da consigliare assolutamente a tutti i meditanti, a prescindere dal sesso.
Per le donne Feldman propone meditazioni specifiche: sulla solitudine, sull'esplorazione del mito personale, sull'unità, su come sciogliere i nodi, sul potenziamento interiore.
