Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dynamic Theory of Life and Mind: An Attempt to Show That All Organic Beings Are Both Constructed and Operated by the Dynamic Agencies of Their Respective Environments It is my endeavor in this volume to point out that organisms instead of being hand-made and purposive, are machine-built machines, and operated, lwhen built, by forces outside of themselves. As we are more interested in ourselves than in other organisms, especial care has been taken to ascertain the relationship of man to the other animals and to point out their resemblances and contrasts. To this end I have cited a large number of facts that cannot fail to interest every intelligent per son whether he agrees with my conclusions or not.

Download or read book Mind in Life written by Evan Thompson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is life related to the mind? The question has long confounded philosophers and scientists, and it is this so-called explanatory gap between biological life and consciousness that Evan Thompson explores in Mind in Life. Thompson draws upon sources as diverse as molecular biology, evolutionary theory, artificial life, complex systems theory, neuroscience, psychology, Continental Phenomenology, and analytic philosophy to argue that mind and life are more continuous than has previously been accepted, and that current explanations do not adequately address the myriad facets of the biology and phenomenology of mind. Where there is life, Thompson argues, there is mind: life and mind share common principles of self-organization, and the self-organizing features of mind are an enriched version of the self-organizing features of life. Rather than trying to close the explanatory gap, Thompson marshals philosophical and scientific analyses to bring unprecedented insight to the nature of life and consciousness. This synthesis of phenomenology and biology helps make Mind in Life a vital and long-awaited addition to his landmark volume The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience (coauthored with Eleanor Rosch and Francisco Varela). Endlessly interesting and accessible, Mind in Life is a groundbreaking addition to the fields of the theory of the mind, life science, and phenomenology.
Download or read book Dynamic Patterns written by J. A. Scott Kelso and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: foreword by Hermann Haken For the past twenty years Scott Kelso's research has focused on extending the physical concepts of self- organization and the mathematical tools of nonlinear dynamics to understand how human beings (and human brains) perceive, intend, learn, control, and coordinate complex behaviors. In this book Kelso proposes a new, general framework within which to connect brain, mind, and behavior.Kelso's prescription for mental life breaks dramatically with the classical computational approach that is still the operative framework for many newer psychological and neurophysiological studies. His core thesis is that the creation and evolution of patterned behavior at all levels--from neurons to mind--is governed by the generic processes of self-organization. Both human brain and behavior are shown to exhibit features of pattern-forming dynamical systems, including multistability, abrupt phase transitions, crises, and intermittency. Dynamic Patterns brings together different aspects of this approach to the study of human behavior, using simple experimental examples and illustrations to convey essential concepts, strategies, and methods, with a minimum of mathematics. Kelso begins with a general account of dynamic pattern formation. He then takes up behavior, focusing initially on identifying pattern-forming instabilities in human sensorimotor coordination. Moving back and forth between theory and experiment, he establishes the notion that the same pattern-forming mechanisms apply regardless of the component parts involved (parts of the body, parts of the nervous system, parts of society) and the medium through which the parts are coupled. Finally, employing the latest techniques to observe spatiotemporal patterns of brain activity, Kelso shows that the human brain is fundamentally a pattern forming dynamical system, poised on the brink of instability. Self-organization thus underlies the cooperative action of neurons that produces human behavior in all its forms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a transpersonal theory of human development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you feel that there is more to your life than what you currently have, and you are ready to understand the dynamics that silently structures your life - you begin to awaken.There is a higher consciousness from which any answer can be found, any reality achieved. This higher consciousness is not to be identified with your physical body or your personality. This higher consciousness is the “I” and the “WILL”, and if used correctly can steer your life in any direction you choose – you need only to focus it. Everyone has a higher consciousness yet only few ever realize it. The correct use of the WILL is not to be controlled by outside forces or the physical world, but to have control over them. This is achievable through the varied states of consciousness that have always been available to you.In his book 'Dynamic Thought or the Law of Vibrant Energy' (first published in 1906), William Walker Atkinson explores the theory of the law of attraction and explains the universal laws and principals that govern the mind and the natural world. Through the use of dynamic thought, one can attract to him, what he or she desires. 'There is absolutely no rest in nature - everything is constantly changing, moving and vibrating. Life is evident everywhere, is the Universal Principal at work.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This antiquarian volume contains a fascinating collection of originally independent articles which were written at different times, for quite different reasons. These articles were selected in order to give a picture of the psychology of people, and of the environment. At the same time, it also hopes to indicate their connections with the various applied fields, especially child psychology, pedagogy, psychopathology, characterology, and social psychology. The chapters of this book include: 'The Conflict Between Aristotelian and Gilileian Modes of Thought in Contemporary Psychology', 'On The Structure of The Mind', 'Environmental Forces in Child Behavior and Development', 'The Psychological Situations of Reward and Punishment', 'Education for Reality', etcetera.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dynamic Thought or the Law of Vibrant Energy And the same will prove true in the case of the Occult Teaching of an Universal Mind, or Cosmic Mind. Science and Philosophy have long laughed at this, but even now their fore most investigators have come to the borders of a new country, and are gasping in amazement at what they see beyond its borders - they are now talking about Life and Mind in the Ether - and before long they will discard their paradoxical, absurd, hypothetical Ether, and say, We are bathed in an Ocean of Mind - only they will insist that this Ocean of Mind is, somehow, a secretion of Matter something oozing out from the pores of Matter, perhaps.
