Download or read book We re All Insane Second Edition written by Kevin Everett FitzMaurice and published by FitzMaurice Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book helps you to understand how thought becomes a problem when thought replaces reality. You discover enough information and examples to be able to negate thought as reality, which enables you to re-experience “what is”. You can live sanely in an insane world. You just have to choose against the common illusions and delusions of your society and your conditioning. All the common illusions and delusions of the world are constructed through the misunderstanding and misuse of thought. Albert Ellis, voted the second most influential psychologist of all time by the American Psychological Association (APA), said of the first edition of We’re All Insane!, “I found it a most unusual book that makes some excellent points, almost all of which I go along with. It sort of brings Alfred Korzybski up-to-date and makes some points which [sic] are not particularly clear in his own writings.

Download or read book Discovery Demands 5TP written by Kevin Everett FitzMaurice and published by FitzMaurice Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read Discovery Demands 5TP to— • Open your mind with the 5TP. • Discover more viewpoints using the 5TP. • Increase your creativity with the 5TP. • Improve your coping skills by using the 5TP. • Increase your understanding by practicing the 5TP. • Improve your ability to discover by using the 5TP. • Improve your problem-solving skills by practicing the 5TP. Discover Advanced Perspective-Taking • This book is about discovering, understanding, and using the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) to develop and increase your skill of perspective-taking. • Perspective-taking is learning the skill of looking at difficult issues from various points of view instead of from only one predominant point of view. • Perspective-taking allows you to understand people, places, and things from different viewpoints, expanding your horizons and insights. Practice Perspective-Taking • The 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) teaches an easy and effective method for practicing perspective-taking. • Using a model of five boxes, columns, lists, or positions, you learn how to easily and quickly develop five perspectives on any concern, issue, problem, or topic. • The five positions, boxes, or columns remain constant, retaining their names and usage, making it easy to plug in the opposite, conciliatory, and balanced views into any 5TP diagram for any concern, issue, problem, or topic. Opening Your Mind • Discovering different perspectives on or views of reality in one area often opens your mind to discovering different perspectives or views of reality in other areas. • Persistently practicing perspective-taking will lead to greater mental balance, flexibility, and openness, because perspective-taking, using the 5TP, is a yoga practice for the mind. • And by having a more holistic grasp of the many sources of information available from using the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) to improve your perspective-taking skill, you will also happily discover that your coping, creative, and problem-solving skills have also expanded and increased. Accepting Your Views • Using the 5TP does not require you to change your mind, alter your beliefs, or accept other points of view. • The 5TP does require you to recognize at least five points of view regarding any issue, problem, or topic. • What you do with that understanding is entirely up to you. • However, you might find that recognizing other sides and viewpoints helps you perform better as a boss, companion, leader, listener, and negotiator. Increase Understanding • The 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) will significantly increase your understanding of any issue, problem, or topic, especially if you initially see or think that only one or two points of view exist. • Such new understandings can go a long way to allowing you to find peaceful solutions to real-life problems. Triality Versus Duality • This book will first cover some of the advantages and disadvantages of duality and triality to prepare the reader to understand the distinct benefits of the 5 Thinking Positions (5TP) over duality and triality. • Duality can be understood as an improvement over-thinking everything is one-sided because duality sees a two-sided reality. • Triality can be recognized as an improvement in thinking everything is two-sided because triality sees a three-sided reality. • 5TP can be understood as advanced thinking where everything is three-sided because 5TP sees a five-sided reality. Continuum Thinking • The 5TP can be understood as the primary form of a continuum or as a form of continuum thinking instead of as another form of dualistic thinking. • The purpose of using the 5TP is to identify how reality appears from different viewpoints, such as in the duality of the glass-half-empty vs. the glass-half-full scenario, which does not affect how much water is objectively in the glass, just the perspective with which that water is viewed. • Some possible viewpoints are: the glass is half full, the glass is half empty, the glass has room to add other ingredients, half full is more than enough, half full is too much, half full is too little, it is what it is.

Download or read book Fast Facts Self Esteem written by Kevin Everett FitzMaurice, M.S. and published by FitzMaurice Publishers. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Self-Esteem Is the Enemy Within • Self-Esteem Is the Problem in Relationships • Self-Esteem Is the Problem in Performing • Self-Esteem Is the Problem in Spirituality • Recognize, Remove, & Replace Self-Esteem Collection of Tables • This book is a collection of tables that provide fast information regarding destructive self-esteem. • Self-esteem is the modern name for the ego; therefore, the tables are about self-esteem and the ego. • The ego and self-esteem are experienced as collections of competing self-constructions. Self-Constructions • Self-constructions are positive and negative mental objects, commonly known as positive and negative self-images and self-concepts. • These self-constructions are reified thoughts, also known as thought-things, and calcified, concretized, and crystalized thoughts. • Use our tables to cut through the jargon and get to the heart of how to recognize, remove, and replace the ego to stop it from destroying and interfering with your goals and life. Stop Being Self-Esteem • You don’t just have self-esteem because you identify yourself as it. • For example, if you are insulted or praised, you tend to collect self-esteem images of the insults and praise and think of them as yourself. • You might envision yourself as smart or stupid, beautiful or ugly, loved or hated. • However, you tend to think you are these mental objects (thought-things) instead of a being having them. Self-Esteem Drives • You often want others to see you as positive self-constructions and go out of your way to make that happen. • Likewise, you often don’t want others to see you as negative self-constructions and go out of your way to prevent that. • Again, it is not a matter of just having ideas about yourself; it is the problem of trying to live as ideas. • Wanting yourself and others to experience you as beautiful mental objects leads to the destruction of your authentic self and every form of emotional, mental, and physical violence. Self-Esteem Is Not You • These self-esteem (ego) representations of yourself are not yourself. • They interfere with your goals, performance, and relationships. • Putting human thought in charge cannot produce positive results because it has no abilities or powers. • Self-esteem (ego) is the enemy within because it is at the root of all human problems and misery. • Sometimes, you can claim to be positive things before or after a performance but not during because that always causes errors and failures. • Sometimes, you might use self-confidence to pray for good results and falsely credit self-confidence. • Looking inside, you will see that self-esteem (ego) is never responsible for anything other than interference and misdirection. • Self-esteem is silly nonsense that is, at best, empty words and, at worst, the center of your life as collections of dead things. Not All Tables Made Equal You will favor and respond to some tables more than others. Some tables have enough content to deserve a book; others only fill themselves. Focus on the ones that help you the most. Come back later and reread the book for deeper insights, more connections (neural links), and new relevant tables. The repetition of ideas in the tables will help you deepen your understanding by networking the ideas and applying them to new circumstances. The tables were originally published on our website at this link: https://kevinfitzmaurice.com/lists-and-links/quotations-topics/free-fast-facts/. We have Fast-Facts on many topics. The website link for this Fast-Facts series (self-esteem, ego) now points to this book. The original format has been changed. The original tables have been subject to being added to, edited, discontinued, improved, reformatted, renamed, revised, rewritten, and updated. And new and original tables have been added. Typically, the entry title in the table of contents comes from the title in the table; however, there are some exceptions because of space constraints or formatting considerations. Like in the original version, this version is organized alphabetically. This book will not be available as an audiobook because it consists of tables of information that are visually orientated, difficult to represent verbally, and impossible to read grammatically without change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AI Prediction Ask any popular AI system (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Meta Llama, Microsoft Copilot) about Globalism. AI will tell you that Globalism is necessary to secure humanity’s future. This book provides the main reasons and strategies for establishing our one-world government. Included in the Book An outline of methods for establishing our one-world government. Positive reasons for our one-world government. How to create a felt need in world populations. Understanding the obstacles to our one-world government. Knowing how to overcome the obstacles. This book is a college course entitled Globalism 101. Understand the World Our plan for establishing our one-world government explains nearly all current world events. Philosophy has given us Occam’s Razor. A popular understanding is that the simplest explanation is the best. We prefer this variation: the simplest theory covering the most data is the best. Establishing our one-world government is a straightforward theory for world affairs that covers the most data. Some will use this book to work against humanity’s highest goal of forming our one-world government. Most systems of conditioning, indoctrination, and control are already under our influence and reaping benefits worldwide. Be among the first to understand what is happening in the world. No possibility exists of going backward but only of moving forward. Openness about our purposes and methods can only help us. The Greatest Event in History Be part of the greatest event in history: the formation of our one-world government. Accept our one perspective to rule them all. Love it or hate it, our one-world government is now the inevitable reality of humankind. Let’s make it happen sooner rather than later for the benefit of the people and planet. Understanding your part and the many options and ways you can help will speed up our glorious results. You can also write and contribute specifics for creating the need, removing obstacles, and increasing participation in the process of our long overdue ideal. You may become a coordinator or provider of resources. Do your part today! Don’t Worry Have faith. We are now proceeding on so many fronts that it is impossible for us not to achieve our ultimate goal. One effort might be curtailed for a while, but it will likely be reborn in a new iteration under a new moniker. Remember, the power of reframing. Anything we need to accomplish our goals is “progressive” and positive for society. People want what we have. However, we must serve it to them in the most palatable ways using idealistic slogans, flowery words, and politically charged imagery. Those against us will be mocked and derided in the most demeaning ways possible. Our enemies will be despised and find it hard or impossible to survive without apologizing and joining our team, at least in some hidden fashion. If you are not with us, you are against us. It is simple to accuse our enemies of any wrongdoings we are committing or planning to commit. The new requires removing the old. To better use the land and resources, dig up the old, dying olive tree and replace it with a new one. It is necessary to undermine and destroy existing governmental structures so evolutionarily superior ones can finally replace them. Soon, there will not be enough integrity left in the systems holding governments together, and governments will start to collapse from within spontaneously. At this point, we are ready to move in and take over for the betterment of humankind and the planet. We are already implanted everywhere. Be prepared! The end and beginning are arriving!
