Download or read book Other Times Other Realities written by Arnold H. Modell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly a century has passed since Freud's theories unleashed a revolution in our understanding of the human psyche. Yet, as Arnold Modell firmly points out, we still do not possess a theory that explains how psychoanalysis works. Other Times, Other Realities provides brilliant insight into this perplexing problem and lays the foundation for a comprehensive theory of psychoanalytic treatment. Modell's careful consideration of Freudian theory, the interpretations of contemporary ego psychology, and the contribution of object theory discloses the changing significance of the fundamental elements of the therapeutic process. In Other Times, Other Realities, readers will discover an illuminating synthesis of concepts underlying the various interpretations of the psychoanalytic process.

This book was released on 2015-05-14 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty . . . weaves a brilliant analysis of the complex role of dreams and dreaming in Indian religion, philosophy, literature, and art. . . . In her creative hands, enchanting Indian myths and stories illuminate and are illuminated by authors as different as Aeschylus, Plato, Freud, Jung, Kurl Gödel, Thomas Kuhn, Borges, Picasso, Sir Ernst Gombrich, and many others. This richly suggestive book challenges many of our fundamental assumptions about ourselves and our world."—Mark C. Taylor, New York Times Book Review "Dazzling analysis. . . . The book is firm and convincing once you appreciate its central point, which is that in traditional Hindu thought the dream isn't an accident or byway of experience, but rather the locus of epistemology. In its willful confusion of categories, its teasing readiness to blur the line between the imagined and the real, the dream actually embodies the whole problem of knowledge. . . . [O'Flaherty] wants to make your mental flesh creep, and she succeeds."—Mark Caldwell, Village Voice
Download or read book Astral Planes and Your Other Realities written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on 1900 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you visit other planes and realities? But can you live other lives there, in your other planes and realities? People can always tell beautiful paranormal stories, or who knows, you might have already been there yourself, saw them, felt them, and now this is why you search through all higher knowledge to learn more about your experience. But was it real? Are your other worlds real, as real as this world? All realities are real, in a rather trivial manner. And even more, all realities are objectively real, but only as long as you are there. Since existence defines them similarly, determining closely your continuous firsthand experience. Furthermore, many realities are part of life, part of this life that we have here in this world. And now, if you have found your way into these other planes of existence in a conscious manner, it might have been a natural process altogether, and not exactly a random experience. It had a purpose, while you might have missed fulfilling it, and now it is certainly meaningful to know everything that you can ever discover. Yet if you have never had a paranormal experience yourself, and now you simply wonder what is going, there are very powerful drugs that you take regularly with your food, drinks, drugs, and medicine, meant to hold you forcefully in this world. And now this is exactly what you do, you remain here nicely, for life. And it happens with everybody, or almost, depending on where you live, or depending on your development and genetic background. There is a difference between astral planes, the natural human environment, and your other realities. Because existence comes in three distinct levels, used to distinguish between your higher and lower realities. While you can understand all your realities through your mind, reasoning, awareness, and imagination, since even this world makes sense to you only as part of your reasoning, awareness, mind, and imagination, and not exactly directly, as anyone may expect. And this is the case because there is no other way to experience anything in life and in the wider world, but through your perception, reasoning, and understanding, and through the multitude of your selves, intelligences, and identities present throughout all your realities. And this is why you cannot understand astral planes, along with your other realities, if you do not understand your cognitive system first, along with your intelligences, selves, memories, and expectations, since everything is interconnected. This interesting entanglement of meanings and constraints causes the ultimate truth of your wider existence to remain hidden beneath strong consensual conditions, and within tedious loops of reasoning, remaining inaccessible in this manner to the ignorant and to the unconditional follower of common ideologies, while allowing the truth only to those living life freely, consciously, and in full awareness and understanding of the wider world, through the fulfillment of all natural, higher level needs and meanings. Because these are your developmental opportunities that you experience in each one of your worlds and realities, while following the fulfillment of your natural, intelligent human needs for higher experience and higher development. This book studies you and your life and existence throughout all your realities that you employ, encounter, inhabit, create, and co-create throughout your wider existence, helping you understand who you are through all your selves and intelligences, as you live your life throughout all your worlds and realities. If you seek to gain wider understanding of who you truly are, this book is for you.
Download or read book Subject to Change written by Polly Young-Eisendrath and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can psychotherapy and psychoanalysis teach us about turning human misery into insight and personal freedom? Polly Young-Eisendrath offers a response that opens new vistas in our understanding of ourselves within the complexity of a postmodern world. Subject to Change is a collection of essays spanning a twenty-year period of theorising and practice of a highly regarded senior Jungian analyst. The diverse ideas and perspectives discussed in the essays deal with the big issues surrounding how Jungian analysts and psychoanalysts understand their profession and what it teaches us about our subject lives. The book is divided into four clear and informative sections: * Subjectivity and uncertainty * Gender and desire * Transference and transformation * Transcendence and subjectivity. The classic essays presented in this book will have significant appeal to all those concerned with Jungian analysis, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, gender development, and the interface between psychotherapy and spirituality.

Download or read book Time Language and Ontology written by M. Joshua Mozersky and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together, in a novel way, an account of the structure of time with an account of our language and thought about time. Joshua Mozersky argues that it is possible to reconcile the human experience of time, which is centred on the present, with the objective conception of time, according to which all moments are intrinsically alike. He defends a temporally centreless ontology along with a tenseless semantics that is compatible with - and indeed helps to explain the need for - tensed language and thought. This theory of time also, it is argued, helps to elucidate the nature of change and temporal passage, neither of which need be denied nor relegated to the realm of subjective experience only. The book addresses a variety of topics including whether the past and future are real; whether temporal passage is a genuine phenomenon or merely a subjective illusion; how the asymmetry of time is to be understood; the nature of representation; how something can change its properties yet retain its identity; and whether objects are three-dimensional or four-dimensional. It is a wide-ranging examination of recent issues in metaphysics, philosophy of language and the philosophy of science and presents a compelling picture of the relationship of human beings to the spatiotemporal world.

Download or read book The Private Self written by Arnold H. Modell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the self is the subject of intense debate in psychoanalysis - as it is in neuro-science, cognitive science, and philosophy. In The Private Self Arnold Modell, a leading thinker in American psychoanalysis, studies selfhood from the inside by examining variations on the theme of the self in Freud and in the work of object relations theorists, self psychologists, and neuro-scientists. His significant contribution is an interdisciplinary perspective in formulating a theory of the private self. Modell contends that the self is fundamentally paradoxical in that it is both dependent and autonomous - dependent upon social affirmation, but autonomous in generating itself from within: we create ourselves by selecting values that are endowed with private meanings. (Modell presents an extensive view of these self-generative and self-creative aspects.) The private self is an embodied self: the psychology of the self is rooted in biology. By thinking of the unconscious as a neurophysiological process and the self as the subject and object of its own experience, Modell is able to explain how identity can persist in the flux of consciousness. In arriving at his unique synthesis of psychoanalytic observations and neurobiological theory, Modell draws on the contributions of Donald Winnicott in psychoanalysis, William James in philosophy, and Gerald Edelman in neurobiology. The Private Self boldly explores the frontier between psychoanalysis and biology. In replacing the "instinct-driven" self and the "attachment-oriented" self with the "self-generating" self, the author offers an exciting and original perspective for our understanding of the mind and the brain.

Download or read book Life written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on 1901 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are an intelligent living human being, and in order to assure your meaning and success throughout life, you have to know everything about life, everywhere, in all forms and realities. You have to learn everything about nature, society, and organic life, about the true origins of life, about creating life and about the divine, and about your own meaning in life and in the world as an intelligent living human being. While these are not random ideas, but these specific needs for higher knowledge are embedded continuously within your own higher level intelligent needs and meanings, just because this is the case with all intelligent life. But is this important knowledge about life actually available to you and everyone else? Yes or no, since there are many instances to consider. Yet when you are capable to find the necessary knowledge about life, meaning, society, and the world, you are truly capable to live your life at the intelligent human level. While if you cannot find it, you keep on searching, since your own higher level needs and meanings never leave you alone until you learn everything necessary in life and in the world. And so you do, otherwise, you end up living your life on lower developmental levels, addicted, in servitude, or only intuitively, through animal instincts. And it certainly matters, just because you are an intelligent living human being by nature, now forced to live life below your level, unfulfilled and even punished intrinsically for your continuous failure. But where exactly can you find this important knowledge? Who can shine a living light on the accurate truth? Do you still wait for science to do so, when science had already offered you everything that it knows since high school? Throughout this book, we model life in all significant details, as we study everything alive and intelligent, from the smallest cellular components to the entire human body, mind, and spirit, and to all forms of life, because everything is alive and meaningful in the world. If you want to learn more about life in all forms and realities, this book is for you.

It is also a tale of having to confront death, near death, loss, and betrayal while keeping a sense of humor.

I went looking for the meaning of death and found immortality. Life is constantly full of surprises.

Download or read book Order of Assassins written by Colin Wilson and published by Diversion Publishing Corp.. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the motives for murder from the bestselling author of The Outsider—“Colin Wilson puts the Manson murders in coldly sharp perspective” (Evening Standard). Why is the “motiveless” murder an increasing phenomenon today? What is the mentality behind the Manson massacres and other shocking cases of brutal killing—too frequent to be written off as isolated cases? In his penetrating exploration of murder, Colin Wilson suggests that the apparently meaningless violence so frighteningly prevalent today is the result of boredom and frustration induced by a repressive society. Particular individuals of high creative potential are thwarted in their natural drives and ambitions and are forced to tread the deadly path of homicide. Colin Wilson traces this path, describing in detail many instances of violent crime, and provides valuable insights that may point to an explanation.
