“The word of God is definitely above culture, in terms of what or who should have authority in our lives. However, we must remember that we are within culture, and our calling in Christ is to play our part in the redemption and transformation of individuals and cultures. I believe the recent history of the religious subculture teaches all too clearly that unless we are moving forward in seeking the genuine transformation of culture, then we are standing still and it is transforming us.” ShouldBelieveStillsPlayRememberMovingCultureIndividualI BelieveTermChristReligiousChristianityTeachOur LivesCallingAuthorityStandingShould HaveTransformationSeekingGenuineMoving ForwardRedemptionWord Of GodTransformingStanding StillSubculture Author:Steve Scott
“In a sane society no woman would be left to struggle on her own with the huge transformation that is motherhood, when a single individual finds herself joined by an invisible umbilical cord to another person from whom she will never be separated, even by death.” PersonsWould BeIndividualLeftStruggleHugeTransformationMotherhoodInvisibleSaneCordsUmbilical Cord Author:Germaine Greer
“Through the history of art we can see through the emotional life, and sometimes the financial security of some of the artists, some transformation. And I really believe that it's generally about the same kind of transformation and the same kind of reaction. We are a little bit less individual than we would like to believe or guess we are.” BelieveKindLittlesArtSometimesArtistIndividualBitsSecurityEmotionalLittle BitTransformationFinancialIndividualityReactionsEmotional LifeFinancial Security Author:Arman
“The great Christian art did not die because all possible forms had been used up; it died because faith was being transformed into piety. Now, the same conquest of the outside world that brought in our modern individualism, so different from that of the Renaissance, is by way of relativizing the individual. It is plain to see that man's faculty of transformation, which began by a remaking of the natural world, has ended by calling man himself into question.” MenWorldWayArtDifferentChristianFormUsedDiesIndividualNaturalModernCallingDiedTransformationFacultyIndividualismTransformedConquestNatural WorldPietyRenaissanceOutside WorldGreat ChristianChristian Art Author:Andre Malraux

“...The Western 'God-image' is a representation of the collective unconscious, an archetype of the psyche that undergoes a continual process of transformation...The God image evolves through its relationship to humanity. Whoever knows God has an effect on 'him'. For the individual, knowing God, is the process of recognizing and assimilating the pressured and paradoxical contents of the self, which come to consciousness- seek incarnation- within the ego.” KnowsSelfHumanityIndividualProcessConsciousnessKnowingEffectsEgoTransformationWesternInsightEvolveUnconsciousCollectivesRepresentationRecognizingKnowing GodIncarnationParadoxicalGod ImageArchetypePressuredCollective Unconscious Author:Carl Jung
“The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city. It is, moreover, a common rather than an individual right since this transformation inevitably depends upon the exercise of a collective power to reshape the processes of urbanization. The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights.” WantHumansIndividualProcessChangeFreedomCommonCitiesLibertyPowerRightsDependsExerciseResourcesTransformationHuman RightsAccessArguingInevitableCollectivesUrbanMaking ChangesNeglectedRemakesIndividual LibertyCollectivityUrbanization Book:Social Justice and the City Source: Social Justice and the City

“The bizarre but all too common transformation of the woman artist from a producer in her own right into a subject for representation forms a leitmotif in the history of art. Confounding subject and object, it undermines the speaking position of the individual woman artist by generalizing her. Denied her individuality, she is displaced from being a producer and becomes instead a sign for male creativity.” ArtFormArtistIndividualCommonCreativitySubjectsPositionObjectsTransformationMalesIndividualityProducersDeniedRepresentationBizarreWoman ArtistConfounding Book:Women, Art, and Society Source: Women, Art, and Society
“The purpose of adolescence is to revise the past, not to obliterate it. . . . Adolescence entails the deployment of family passions to the passions and ideals that bind individuals to new family units, to their communities, to the species, to nature, to the cosmos. Therefore, given half a chance, the revolution at issue in adolescence becomes a revolution of transformation, not of annihilation.” PastPurposePassionIndividualGivenCommunityChanceHalfIssuesRevolutionIdealsTransformationSpeciesCosmosAdolescenceUnitsAnnihilationDeploymentFamily UnitNew Family Author:Louise J.
