Download or read book Think from the Heart Love from the Mind written by Gian Kumar and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-01-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking from the heart, absurd as it may seem, is an experience we all need to go through. Thinking and creating from the heart will only make you unite and embrace with emotion, without any illusions, doubts, analysis, ego or judgment. It is higher than logic or reason and will enunciate the mind to transcend beyond its thought processes. Meaning, if we separate the heart from the mind, or allow one to rule, it is bound to oppose the other, leading to pain and conflict. Imagine how constricted our thoughts would be, if the heart was not there to loosen them and bring flexibility. Mind, on the other hand, is mischievous; it not only wishes to dictate to the heart, but tortures and rules our life. We become lonely in our minds with thoughts of self - I, me and mine. The mind controls when we should be happy or sad; it even orders the heart, how and when to express or suppress our emotions. Both cannot be left on their own, say heart on its own will only fantasize into emotions, hopes and dreams. To counter, and bring them back into oneness or totality, we need to learn the art of being in the awareness of now, through intuition and impulses, beyond thoughts. It is the amalgamation of the two, which leads us back to our source, the oneness in which we are born to live. This book will reveal to you, not only how to love and think, with heart and mind togetherness, but also to go beyond these two into the realm of oneness, awareness and infinity.

Download or read book The Logic of the Body written by Matthew A. LaPine and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Do not be anxious about anything." When it comes to stress and worry, that's all we really need to say, right? Just repent of your anxiety, and everything will be fine. But emotional life is more complex than this. In The Logic of the Body, Matthew LaPine argues that Protestants must retrieve theological psychology in order to properly understand the emotional life of the human person. With classical and modern resources in tow, LaPine argues that one must not choose between viewing emotions exclusively as either cognitive and volitional on the one hand, or simply a feeling of bodily change on the other. The two "stories" can be reconciled through a robustly theological analysis. In a culture filled with worry and anxiety, The Logic of the Body offers a fresh path within the Reformed tradition.

Download or read book The Logic of Affect written by Paul Redding and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most attempts to trace the roots of current scientific approaches to the mind have ignored the contributions of post-Kantian German idealism. Paul Redding here shows the relevance of this philosophical tradition to an understanding of the mind and its embodiment as well as the relation of feeling to cognition. Redding observes how Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel struggled with the problem of reconciling Kant's normative approach to experience and thought with the naturalistic stance of the emerging medical sciences. A century later William James, Freud, and Jung also addressed the interconnection of thought and feeling, reaching views similar to those of the post-Kantian idealists. In particular, Redding argues, the idealists conceived of a'logic of affect'that reemerged in Freud's concept of the primary process and in modern evolutionary ideas of subcortical processing. This innovative book demonstrates how new insights can be brought to the study of mentality and consciousness by considering previously overlooked interpretations. Redding shows that these early theorists of the unconscious can bring scholars to a better appreciation not only of classical thinkers like James and Freud but also of contemporary debates about the mind and emotions.
Download or read book Sleight of Mind written by Matt Cook and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “fun, brain-twisting book . . . will make you think” as it explores more than 75 paradoxes in mathematics, philosophy, physics, and the social sciences (Sean Carroll, New York Times–bestselling author of Something Deeply Hidden). Paradox is a sophisticated kind of magic trick. A magician’s purpose is to create the appearance of impossibility, to pull a rabbit from an empty hat. Yet paradox doesn’t require tangibles, like rabbits or hats. Paradox works in the abstract, with words and concepts and symbols, to create the illusion of contradiction. There are no contradictions in reality, but there can appear to be. In Sleight of Mind, Matt Cook and a few collaborators dive deeply into more than 75 paradoxes in mathematics, physics, philosophy, and the social sciences. As each paradox is discussed and resolved, Cook helps readers discover the meaning of knowledge and the proper formation of concepts—and how reason can dispel the illusion of contradiction. The journey begins with “a most ingenious paradox” from Gilbert and Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance. Readers will then travel from Ancient Greece to cutting-edge laboratories, encounter infinity and its different sizes, and discover mathematical impossibilities inherent in elections. They will tackle conundrums in probability, induction, geometry, and game theory; perform “supertasks”; build apparent perpetual motion machines; meet twins living in different millennia; explore the strange quantum world—and much more.
Download or read book The Eternal Power of Thought written by Paul Olabanji and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We think what we think (about ourselves) because we have reasons to believe our thinking is right. The reasons why we believe our thinking is right forms the reasoning of our mind that influences our thinking. So, we think our conviction based on our reasoning. Our reasoning is a result of our perspective. And, our perspective is a function of our position and view-point. What we see about ourselves and life depends on how we look. What we see depends on how we look. So, our view-point is a culture of thought instilled in or imposed on us by the school of thought that creates in us the mind of our heart. the point is, the school of thought where we belong, whose view of life we share, gives us the reasons why we should think the way we do, and thereby makes us think the way we do. But, why do we believe the truth which our school of thought gives us reasons to believe? Every school of thought understands the nature of the human mind. Let me share it with you.The human mind is wired to respond to truth. But first, the mind has to accept as truth a point or assertion or proposition or premise, before respond to it. To discern the truth, the mind reasons it out. The mind is by nature logical, rational and analytical. Now, anything presented to the mind in a way that appeals to the logic of the mind, the mind accepts as truth. Hence, the mind can be easily deceived, wooed, enticed and lured into accepting a fact or point as truth. This is the nature of the mind. Hence, without knowing it, because we often have to relate with things that sound logical and reasonable, we are thereby deceived. This unfortunately was the way the Serpent deceived Eve. And, anybody can be as much brainwashed or beguiled. So, what is called TRUTH is a sensitive 'thought'.So, this book is aimed at giving you reasons why you should think in the light of a TRUTH that is divine, and thereby renew your reasoning and re-direct your conviction. TRUTH has grades of correctness; but, I want to introduce you to the HIGHEST TRUTH. This book wants to change your perspective about yourself and about life. This book will plant you in a new school of thought. This book will lift your mind from one level of crude logic to the transcending logic and the highest thought of the divine. For example, God created you in His image and likeness, showing that you are like God. You are the likes of God. You and God are alike. And, Jesus said, 'you are god!' This is one of the lines of truth for instance that this book wants to bring you into.This book will take you through seven factors that influence your thought, response and behavior in life (as regards success or failure that you are influenced to have happen to you.) the seven are: perspective, reasoning, conviction, attitude/thinking, feeling, acting and being. This book will change your thought and give you a new life. This book promises more than your imagination can ever capture.
Download or read book Take It Easy Vol 1 Talks on Zen Buddhism written by Osho and published by Fivestar. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is the vast sky of existence. Reason is a tiny human phenomenon. The reason has to be lost, has to be dropped. Only by going beyond the mind does one start understanding what is. That’s the radical change. No philosophy can bring that radical change – only religion. Religion is non-philosophic, anti-philosophic, and Zen is the purest form of religion. Zen is the very essence of religion. Hence it is irrational, it is absurd. If you try to understand it logically you will be bewildered. It can only be understood illogically. It has to be approached in deep sympathy and love. YOU CANNOT approach Zen through empirical, scientific, objective concepts. They all have to be dropped. It is a heart phenomenon. You have to feel it rather than think it. You have to BE it to know it. Being is knowing. And there is no other knowing.
Download or read book Renovation of the Heart written by Dallas Willard and published by Tyndale House. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
Download or read book Intuition written by Osho and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover your own deep well of wisdom in Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic—from one of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. Intuition deals with the difference between the intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit. Logic is how the mind knows reality, intuition is how the spirit experiences reality. Osho’s discussion of these matters is wonderfully lucid, occasionally funny, and thoroughly engrossing. All people have a natural capacity for intuition, but often social conditioning and formal education work against it. People are taught to ignore their instincts rather than to understand and use them as a foundation for individual growth and development—and in the process they undermine the very roots of the innate wisdom that is meant to flower into intuition. In this volume, Osho pinpoints exactly what intuition is and gives guidelines for how to identify its functioning in others and ourselves. You will learn to distinguish between genuine intuitive insight and the “wishful thinking” that can often lead to mistaken choices and unwanted consequences. Includes many specific exercises and meditations designed to nourish and support each individual’s natural intuitive gifts. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.
