		<description><![CDATA[Karen Casey's book, Cultivating Hope,  is a wonderful and hopeful book about how an individual can live a life that is fearless and meaningful at a time when such virtues are so difficult to find. We live in a very troubled time, socially, personally and financially. This is why Casey's book is so important for us today. Casey also comes from a troubled background. All she really wanted out of life was for others to change. This, she thought, would ensure her security. However, she later discovered that she was the one who had to change. Although this was difficult for her to accept at first, she did keep trying to open up to the idea that if she didn't change, nothing else would either.

		<description><![CDATA[The media is versed at making us feel so inadequate that we start doubting our beliefs and values after a while. This is really detrimental since we already have such a difficult time to think for ourselves and to assert ourselves. So what the media does is to keep eroding our already vulnerable and, in some cases, fragmented self.

		<description><![CDATA[Learning is a life-long process that you can benefit from continuing to engage. Learning raises self-esteem and self-worth. Learning is part of how each one of us continues to evolve as a person. You are never too old to learn something new. Learning keeps each person in touch with his or her passion.

		<description><![CDATA[Adhering to the paradox of the quest to air “Dirty Laundry” while at the same time sweeping the past and its pain under the proverbial rug is a sure-fire way to deny your own individual evolution - your own personal enlightenment. It is not an authentic way to live your life. It is a painful and limiting way to live your life. It is a paradox that if not resolved, more often than not, results in a polarization that does not promote mental health or healthy relationship styles.

		<description><![CDATA[Self Improvement, self growth, and getting to know more about who you authentically are require a willingness to learn more on a conscious level.  The seeking of more understanding needs to be a conscious choice to embrace more awareness. Awareness that will unfold to you  on this journey through the mystery of all that you might not yet fully understand about your self. Do you find that there are aspects of your life that just seem to defy your understanding in actual and purposefully consciously aware ways? Are you a seeker of more personal enlightenment when it comes to aspects of your relationships, your attitude, your moods, and your over-all choices in your life?

		<description><![CDATA[Enlightenment is many things. It is even more specifically many different things to each and every individual. Awakening to your own personal enlightenment involves choosing to actively seek to expand and nurture a growing awareness. An awareness that seeks to breathe within and from the rich paradox of serendipitous synchronicity.

		<description><![CDATA[What is on your mind, that is to say, what you focus on, is what will shape and justify your experience of yourself, of others, and of life.

More people are becoming increasingly aware that how and what they think creates their experience. However, for many who are in great emotional pain the connection might not be so apparent. For those with a personality disorder, or other form of mental illness, it can be much more difficult to make the connection between patterns of thought and their correlation to experience.

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to Dialectic Magazine. This is a new online magazine that will have a wide ranging focus on the endless interaction of conflicting ideas that make up the rich paradoxical nature of experience.

There are many types of paradox. In and through each and every paradox what is being sought after, found, processed, or realized is some measure of what is true. The more we can bring an awareness of what is true in our lives, what is authentic, the more we can enrich our intellectual, psychological, and spiritual experience of the here and now.

Articles, essays, interviews, poetry, prose, fiction and non-fiction will provide an eclectic blend of information, food for thought, and entertainment.

As Sir Frances  Bacon once said, "Knowledge is power".
