Book Description
Existing only in manuscript since the 1940s but enjoying an underground reputation among friends and advocates, this primary document by one of the most original and influential of American poets and thinkers is now being published as Rational Meaning, Laura (Riding) Jackson's testament of the necessity of living for truth. Begun as a dictionary and thesaurus in the 1930s, the work developed into a fundamental reevaluation of language itself. Riding, in close collaboration with her husband, continued this monumental project over the succeeding decades, completing it after his death in 1968. At the core of Rational Meaning, which aims to restore the truth of language by arguing that meaning inheres in words, stands the idea that a total renovation of the knowledge of language is needed, not to develop mere verbal sophistication and respectability but fundamentally to reinvigorate the intellectual processes of consciousness. The book reveals the disastrous extent to which language has been "unlearned" and shows how it may be learned again. Rational Meaning will be essential reading, not only for students of literature but for radical-minded linguists and lexicographers unhappy with the orthodoxies current in their disciplines.

Book Description
There can be countless ways through which our desires grow, the issue becomes the typical obligations of adult life and how those obligations seem to have gotten in the way of our dreams, and what it is that we want from life. Time feels limited, money seems scarce, relationships and family need consistency and attention. However, at some point, we have to stop and consider the difference between surviving and living. Granted this might not be a particularly conscious realization at first, but you will nevertheless sense a dissonance between your thought-life and your doing-life. This book is for those of us who, having come to this realization, want more from life and rightly so!What I hope for you to take from this book is confidence primarily; through understanding your conscious processes, you will begin to understand and apply new ways of thinking and doing. At the core of my goal for this book, having been the person I've described, is to share the things I have learned to deploy - the things that have allowed me to succeed.Take the time to clarify what your reasons are for picking up this book. Have you been hearing that call to make a shift? Do you, as I did, sense this profound disconnect between what you want your life to look like and what it actually looks like? I want to help you find the motivation and the discipline to discover your destination and work on your direction. That is what this guide is all about; your journey - a path that will lead you to satisfaction, and a joy you've probably not felt in a while.
