Greg Thompson

This collection works with the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, and his collaborator Felix Guattari, in the context of education. Deleuze once remarked that we get the philosophy we deserve because of the questions that we ask. Deleuze saw that the work of philosophy was the creation of concepts – those working with his theory are admonished not to follow but to think. For Deleuze, education remained a philosophical problem because it is connected to problems of language, authority, meaning and what it means to learn and think. With that in mind, these contributions were chosen because they apply this ethic to education to think again about what constitutes a problem. In this book, Deleuze’s conceptual contributions such as affect, assemblage, the logic of sense and control society and modulation are put to work to consider various educational problems in educational settings. What brings these contributions together, apart from working with Deleuze, is that they present education as a problem requiring new concepts. Readers are invited into an encounter with Deleuze’s thought because of the situations in which we find ourselves. The chapters in this book were originally published as journal articles by Taylor and Francis journals.

The Education Assemblage

Greg Thompson was four years old when he first met his guardian angel. It would not be the last visit from that angel or other paranormal beings. In Living with My Spirit Guides, Thompson narrates his story as he offers a different perspective on life when communicating with spirit guides daily. This memoir chronicles how he has grown from a child who accepted his world that others did not understand to a life where he openly talks about his connection to a larger world. Thompson shares how he communicates with his spirit guides, how it has changed throughout time, and how he has additionally learned to talk with other forms of life. Living with My Spirit Guides conveys what it feels like to be an empath who can pick up emotions from anywhere in the world and how it feels walking through a crowd that is either extremely happy or mad. Thompson tells how he learned to control those feelings within him, how he deals with knowledge of someone who is sick or dying and they don’t know it, and how to help them with the aid of his spirit guides.

Living with My Spirit Guides

Scott Davis

He's sailed the seven seas and explored unknown lands, fought countless monsters and battled evil wizards, but Sinbad's newest adventure may be the greatest, and most dangerous, he's ever had! Eight years have passed since the assassination of the benevolent Zhar Dadgar and the curious disappearance of his heir. Akhdar, Dadgar's villainous nephew, has usurped the Dozhakian throne and enslaved the Azurian people, igniting a civil war within the once peaceful kingdom. A prophecy foretells the coming of a stranger from a distant land who will vanquish the false king and restore the rightful ruler to the throne. Could Sinbad be that stranger, or is he merely a pawn in Akhdar's treacherous game.
