Social Consciousness

In 2018, I had a dream of a coming second American Revolution/Civil War. In this dream, I saw events that are now unfolding at a rapid pace. I saw the conclusion of our present trauma, and the triumph over the evil that has been subduing our land. I saw how this victory will be accomplished. This is what I saw.

This book has lots of actionable information on how to catapult your self-esteem in order to ultimately boost your self-confidence and happiness levels by unleashing the full power of your mind. Sitting at home feeling sorry for yourself won’t make that happen but learning how to become super confident will. Stress and anxiety are both triggered by lack of self-esteem or lack of confidence. You may not be aware of it, but they skew the way that the world perceives you and also the way in which you interact with life.

In einer Einbahnstraße gibt es keinen Gegenverkehr. Und von einer neuen Erkenntnis geht es nicht rückwärts! Walter Benjamins 'Einbahnstraße' führt an zahlreichen Denkanstößen entlang, hin zu richtungsweisenden Erkenntnissen - für jeden, der sich darauf einlässt. 'Einbahnstraße' ist zunächst einmal Kurzprosa - eine Sammlung von Gedanken, von Notizen, ein Kaleidoskop von literarisch-philosophischen Miniaturen, eine Präsentation von 'Denkbildern', essayistische Feinkost. Das 1928 erschienene Werk ist thematisch breit angelegt und hat viele Bezüge zu unserer aktuellen Gegenwart.

Марк Твен умел несколькими словами выразить истинную суть любого явления, охарактеризовать человека или описать ситуацию так, что это становилось афоризмом. Всю жизнь он изучал человечество, бездны его пороков и вершины величия. В своих произведениях Марк Твен смеялся над ним – иронично, зло, с состраданием. Он как будто подносил зеркало и говорил: смотрите, люди, вы вот какие, исправьтесь. Никто вам не поможет: ни царь, ни бог, ни герой, ни демократия. Давайте сами. Предлагаем и вам, дорогие читатели, посмотреться в это зеркало. Приобщиться к искусству размышлять о времени и о себе.

Siamo davvero programmati per la velocità? Viviamo in un mondo veloce, dove il tempo sembra via via contrarsi: continuamente connessi, chiamati a rispondere in tempi brevi a e-mail, tweet e sms, iper-sollecitati dalle immagini, in una frenesia visiva e cognitiva dai tratti patologici. Dimentichiamo così che il cervello è una macchina lenta e, nel tentativo di imitare le macchine veloci, andiamo incontro a frustrazioni e affanni.

Author Anderson Silver has compiled teachings from Stoicism and other schools of thought in this third volume of a three-book series to help you identify what it is you can control and how you can take absolute control over it.

The Analysis of the Mind by Bertrand Russell is a collection of 15 lectures he delivered in 1920. Russell was a highly reputed philosopher, mathematician, and social critic, and would go on to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1950.

A new field of collective intelligence has emerged in the last few years, prompted by a wave of digital technologies that make it possible for organizations and societies to think at large scale. This "bigger mind" - human and machine capabilities working together - has the potential to solve the great challenges of our time. So why do smart technologies not automatically lead to smart results?

"Le titre de cette conférence est "L'âme et le corps", c'est-à-dire la matière et l'esprit, c'est-à-dire tout ce qui existe et même, s'il faut en croire une philosophie dont nous parlerons tout à l'heure, quelque chose aussi qui n'existerait pas. Mais rassurez-vous. Notre intention n'est pas d'approfondir la nature de la matière, pas plus d'ailleurs que la nature de l'esprit. On peut distinguer deux choses l'une de l'autre, et en déterminer jusqu'à un certain point les rapports, sans pour cela connaître la nature de chacune d'elles.

The consciousness is far bigger than once perceived. We have lived our whole life thinking and believing that the brain was at the center core of all that is and all that will ever be in this life. Science, medicine, and spirituality have afforded us the truth about what causal is and based on that where you are going. Consciousness, soul, and spirit are fundamental in this universe. Knowing this, take a moment, contemplate: where are you, where are you going?

When trying to deal with our current troubles and anxieties, it can be deeply irritating to be asked to consider our childhoods. They happened so long ago; we can probably barely remember, let alone relate to, the little person we once were. But one of the most powerful explanations for why we may, as adults, be struggling, is that we were denied the opportunity to fully be ourselves in our earliest years. This book is a guide to better understanding our younger selves in order to shape who we wish to be in the future.

Does free will exist? The question has fueled heated debates spanning from philosophy to psychology and religion. The answer has major implications, and the stakes are high. To put it in the simple terms that have come to dominate these debates, if we are free to make our own decisions, we are accountable for what we do, and if we aren't free, we're off the hook.

Drawing on a wide variety of influences, from literature to Zen Buddhism, biology to neuroscience, Enough Is Enough lays out the habits anyone can develop to turn them into just the kind of hard-working, deep-thinking ideal they’ve always wanted to be. Written with passion, wit, and knowledge gained as much from life as from literature, Enough Is Enough promises to be just the book you’re looking for if you want to run headlong into the future and never look back.

In this bold and interdisciplinary journey through neuroscience, theoretical physics, and artificial intelligence, neurologist Dr. Chris Reynolds proposes a revolutionary model of consciousness: the Probability Clock. At the heart of this model lies the thalamus—a central brain structure long known for relaying sensory input. But in Reynolds’ view, the thalamus does far more: it recursively filters, times, and shapes experience itself.

Is stress a deadly disease on the rise in modern society? Can mind-body practices from the East help us become well? When it comes to healing, we believe we must look beyond doctors and drugs; we must look within ourselves. Faith, relationships, and attitude matter. But why do we believe such things? From psychoanalysis to the placebo effect to meditation, this vibrant cultural history describes mind-body healing as rooted in a patchwork of stories, allowing us to make new sense of our suffering and to rationalize new treatments and lifestyles.

On those long nights when your mind is racing and the clock slowly ticks its way to dawn, sleep seems unattainable and precious. The three sessions on this audiobook offer time-honoured skills from the yoga tradition that will help you to enjoy a natural, nourishing night’s sleep. In the first session you learn to calm your mind and relax your body using a deep breathing technique with visualisations. The second session is a deep relaxation practice known as yoga nidra, or psychic sleep. It is used here as a self-hypnosis strategy for inducing sleep.

El pintor mexicano más importante de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Sus trabajos y murales representan hoy, el punto más alto del arte contemporáneo no sólo de su país, sino a nivel mundial. Dueño de un espíritu incansable, organizador, pletórico de gracia y elegancia, su obra destaca nítidamente por su idealismo e intolerancia hacia lo que le parece el mal principal de este mundo: la explotación del hombre por el hombre.

For too long, the narratives surrounding Black communities in America have been dominated by deficit-based thinking, focusing on perceived weaknesses rather than the inherent strengths and resilience that have been fostered through generations of hardship. This book seeks to challenge that paradigm, offering a critical but constructive analysis of the socio-political and economic realities confronting Black Americans.
