Consciousness Development

We live in conversations like fish live in water—we’re in them all the time, so we don’t think about them much. As a result, we often find ourselves stuck in cyclical patterns of unproductive behaviors. We listen half-heartedly, react emotionally, and respond habitually, like we're on autopilot. This book is a practical guide for thoughtfully reflecting on conversations so we can avoid the common pitfalls that cause our relationships and work to go sideways.

Instead of being the phenomenon we truly are on planet Earth, most of us keep trying to create the way other people do.

Blessed possibilities are about opening to the choice of new possibility. “Why aren’t you sharing your beauty and your talents?” Gary asks.

This book dares to examine these burning existential questions from a scientific and psychological perspective. It is authored by a seasoned psychotherapist, whose career was inspired both by the famed analyst C.G. Jung and the mystic G.I. Gurdjieff.

It is more a personal odyssey through the author's world, stretching back to his earliest years, spanning his professional career, and dipping into the recent events of his life. It is peppered with compelling personal experiences, psychological insights, and spiritual discoveries.

Gazzaniga puts the latest research in conversation with the history of human thinking about the mind, giving a big-picture view of what science has revealed about consciousness.

For a passionate student yearning to learn and understand the essence of a subject, they must demonstrate these traits before a teacher will take them under their wing.

Most people operate from a fixed idea or concept of how things are supposed to be, rather functioning in the moment, where they can change anything as needed to accomplish and create more. This creates a tremendous limitation. We use conceptual constructs to create a purpose and a sense of rightness. Relationship, sex, sexuality, family, and the future are examples of conceptual constructs. Society is a construct. Culture, religion, and reputation are constructs. These things are not actually real; they are conceptual realities that have been dropped into our existence.
