Download or read book Operating Manual for Enlightenment written by Lincoln Stoller and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not offering enlightenment, it's describing it. The enlightened mind unites intellect and emotion despite their separation being built into the structure of our brains. This split appears in the mythic division between our lower and higher natures, and the separation of mind and body. Intellect and emotion function in concert. As color and shape are to vision, one complements the other. When fully integrated, they cannot be taken apart. The topics in the book's first half lean toward the intellectual. The second half looks at the division from the emotional side. What we are separating with one hand, we are putting together with the other. Struggle: We naturally consider our problems as different from ourselves. We see them in our environment, and rely on our skills and insights to resolve them. Our intellectual solutions address one aspect of these problems, while our emotions address another. Are these problems to be solved, or processes to be understood? What should we do if our problems are inside us? Mind: Your state determines your readiness, arousal, and self-reflection. Your state of mind orients your thinking, how you can feel about yourself, and who you re able to be. Equally important are thoughts you’re not likely to have,or cannot have at all. This book is about the states of mind that support focus, awareness, thoughts, and feelings. It s is not a guide to solving problems, it s an explanation of how you see. State: With our state of mind, we gather our thoughts and focus our attention. Focus without a state is like a telescope with no one to look through it. In order to focus, first take full responsibility for all you think and feel. The properties of your state determine what you re capable of. One state of mind is not enough because you cannot understand the world from one point of view. Your future is determined by your range of states of mind. Wisdom: Alternate states of mind support understandings we don t have. They may be logical, emotional, spiritual, or evanescent. They could involve knowledge spread across generations so that no one generation has the complete picture. We might call them prophetic, inspired, psychedelic, or delusional. Larger states of mind develop with experience, but they re not defined by the facts they hold. One needs a state of mind that can accommodate contradictions without generating conflict. Instantaneous Enlightenment: Change does not happen instantly, but epiphanies feel instantaneous. The reason is simple: a new state is a whole rearrangement of one’s previous conception. There are no halfway states to total rearrangement. Many pieces need to fall into place before we can make ourselves into something new. We are at a watershed moment in our understanding of the mind, after which psychology will change. Instead of focusing on thoughts and behavior, we are coming to understand that what s important is what you can think and how you can behave. The Operating Manual is an intellectual, emotional, and neurological road map to the integration you don’t yet have. REVIEWS and WORDS of PRAISE What a pleasure to see the wry wit and humor of an old friend focused on that which we all take for granted: our deep complex 'hard problem' of consciousness. It is not a linear treatise, but a winding through the mind’s labyrinthine pathways to archetypal insights. What a pleasant journey! --Jay Gunkelman, Chief Science Officer of Brain Science International and NeuroNet Neuroscience Centers. Past president of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research, and the Biofeedback Society of California I strongly recommend Operating Manual for Enlightenment. It is a true guide to empowering and liberating yourself, written in common language. The pages are full of gems for readers of all ages and interests. --Adrian Bejan, Distinguished Professor of Engineering, author of Freedom and Evolution, and The Physics of Life: The Evolution of Everything Like Castaneda's The Teachings of Don Juan, Lincoln's Operating Manual is an essential "life reference"... wherever, whenever or whoever slips into these fields of care and concern, or dives into the waves of the vast ocean of life. These visions from the "oh so human minds" are worthy of the effort ~!~ Thank you, inspired ~!~ --Armand Huet de Grenier, psychotherapist, adult and youth special educator, organization business consultant, Fellow of the Clinical Hypnosis Society of Nova Scotia, and past president of the Mahone Bay Buddhist Meditation Centre. Carrier of the of the Eagle Staff at the Gesgapegiag Mi'kmaq SunDance in Maria, Quebec Dr. Lincoln Stoller thinks outside the box of current thoughts and existing practices, beyond the dross of what’s taught to find the potential we’ve been told to keep hidden. Are you a conformist or a rebel? Do you do what you're told or go for the gold ring? Go over the breach to lead future generations into the world! Thank you, Dr. Stoller. --Tony Hunt, Host of Educational Triage Podcast, Alternative Ed Director and Developer A cornucopia of facts, thoughts, and ideas about what it is to be us. Such a pleasure to read!” — Allan Leslie Combs, Professor of Consciousness Studies, author of The Radiance of ¬Being, and Consciousness Explained Better (“The finest book on consciousness written in modern times, bar none.) --Ken Wilber Lincoln's work goes to places few have gone before. Drawing on dozens of fields, he creates a super-structure of everything that inhabits your body and mind. I consider him a true sage, sharp thinker, and skillful therapist. For the first time in my life I’m grasping what it feels like to be integrated. Whole with myself. --Richard Guenther, MSc, IT Manager, Business Analyst ’ve gained so many connections into the crazy day I've had, allowing me a bigger space to process all the voices, personalities, and opinions that came up. --Charlene Bradbury, speech therapist Through carefully crafted examples and exercises, the author illustrates how these elements converge, enhancing our understanding of such a complex subject. An enriching journey of insights on enlightenment, highlighting the interconnectedness of intellect and emotion, experience and being, with clear and brilliant exposition. --Dr. Rubén Pérez-Elvira, Neuropsychologist Enlightenment is a complex concept in these dark times. Or is it? Lincoln Stoller has a knack for deriving clarity from complexity without being verbose. He shines his 'black light' of enlightenment on the 'crime scene' of contemporary consciousness, finding clues to the nature of humanity where others see only stains. An enjoyable, insightful read. --Captain Ben "Doc” Askin", author and podcast host of Anti-Hero’s Journey

Download or read book The 46 Rules of Genius written by Marty Neumeier and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2014 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marty Neumeier, acclaimed author of The Brand Gap and other books on business creativity, has compressed decades of practical experience into The 46 Rules of Genius--46 glittering gems that will light students path to creative brilliance. This is an essential handbook for students in graphic design, branding, marketing, business, Journalism and writing courses, and more. The rules in this book are timeless. None of them are new, yet they can help students create something new. Michelangelo didn't invent the hammer and chisel, but by using these tools he sculpted the Pietá. And just as you can't shape a block of marble with your bare hands, you can't shape ideas with your bare mind. You need rules. Rules are the tools of genius. Use them when they help, put them aside when they don't. Most creative people are focused on their projects, and reading a long book is a luxury they can ill afford. So here's a slim volume with bite-size advice. Students can reach into it randomly, underline its salient points, and return to its rules as needed. Neumeier starts with advice on strategy--or how to get the right idea. He continues with practical tips on execution--how to get the idea right. From there, he moves on to building creative skills over time, and finally to putting your brilliance to work in the larger world.

Download or read book The Hidden Habits of Genius written by Craig Wright and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An unusually engaging book on the forces that fuel originality across fields.” --Adam Grant Looking at the 14 key traits of genius, from curiosity to creative maladjustment to obsession, Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University's popular “Genius Course,” explores what we can learn from brilliant minds that have changed the world. Einstein. Beethoven. Picasso. Jobs. The word genius evokes these iconic figures, whose cultural contributions have irreversibly shaped society. Yet Beethoven could not multiply. Picasso couldn’t pass a 4th grade math test. And Jobs left high school with a 2.65 GPA. What does this say about our metrics for measuring success and achievement today? Why do we teach children to behave and play by the rules, when the transformative geniuses of Western culture have done just the opposite? And what is genius, really? Professor Craig Wright, creator of Yale University’s popular “Genius Course,” has devoted more than two decades to exploring these questions and probing the nature of this term, which is deeply embedded in our culture. In The Hidden Habits of Genius, he reveals what we can learn from the lives of those we have dubbed “geniuses,” past and present. Examining the lives of transformative individuals ranging from Charles Darwin and Marie Curie to Leonardo Da Vinci and Andy Warhol to Toni Morrison and Elon Musk, Wright identifies more than a dozen drivers of genius—characteristics and patterns of behavior common to great minds throughout history. He argues that genius is about more than intellect and work ethic—it is far more complex—and that the famed “eureka” moment is a Hollywood fiction. Brilliant insights that change the world are never sudden, but rather, they are the result of unique modes of thinking and lengthy gestation. Most importantly, the habits of mind that produce great thinking and discovery can be actively learned and cultivated, and Wright shows us how. This book won't make you a genius. But embracing the hidden habits of these transformative individuals will make you more strategic, creative, and successful, and, ultimately, happier.
