This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deceits of the Mind is a major effort at developing a comprehensive theory of disease, one incorporating knowledge of how the mind works, how the body works, and how the two interface. This interface, traditionally called psychosomatic medicine, newly labeled psychoneuro-immunology, has piqued the interest of a great many researchers and lay people alike in the last decade. Most recently, it has shown great promise in the psychological treatment of physical disorders. Although books on the mind/body dynamic usually end with the basic principle of mind affecting the body, this is the point at which Jane Goldberg's Deceits of the Mind begins. Goldberg begins by challenging the traditional medical model of the disease process. Since the advent of modern medicine, sickness has been seen as caused by factors from without--environmental stressors, germs, carcinogens, and so on. In contrast, Goldberg's research and observations indicate that diseases, both biological and psychological, are often rooted in processes that have their origins within the human organism itself. She shows that an organism's ability to defend itself is crucial to the maintenance of both physical and emotional well-being. She describes the variety of psychological and biological methods of defense the human organism has available to it, and how these go awry in the formation of disease. Moving beyond the traditional psychosomatic postulate of mind affecting body, Goldberg goes a step farther, and proposes the adventuresome notion that mind and body imitate each other. A malfunction at any level of mind or body, she says, is reflected in all other levels. She shows how, in disease conditions, psychosis can exist in the body, not just the mind, and how the cancer process is embedded in the mind, not just the body.

Book excerpt: Consider the last time you ingested a pain reliever. Do you recall taking the tablet and almost instantly feeling its calming effects saturate your body? If so, you were being influenced by a placebo. Most pain relievers need at least 15 minutes to start working. The immediate alleviation that many of us experience after taking medication is due to our expectations rather than any genuine physical experience. The persuasive power of your thoughts. The human brain's capacity for self-deception is one of its outstanding abilities. The expectation is the simple factor that underlies this power. Almost entirely, your brain operates on expectations. Additionally, it dislikes being let down. Your brain, therefore, chooses to distort and twist reality instead of modifying its views when reality doesn't match its assumptions. A suggestion is a key to unleashing this potential. It is what awakens your expectations, demonstrates to you that they are possible, and inspires your body to accomplish amazing feats to fulfill them. Learn how anticipation and suggestion affect how you experience pain, bounce back from disease, and create memories in this book. You'll comprehend both their beneficial and detrimental impacts. And you'll be knowledgeable enough to take advantage of them. Additionally, you'll learn. Stories affect your stomach, why a false rose could be terrible for your health, and what makes placebos such potent painkillers.

Download or read book Sexual Deceit written by Kelby Harrison and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual Deceit is an extended ethical analysis of the phenomenon of sexual identity passing — i.e. socially presenting as X, when one understands oneself as Y, where the variables represent any contemporary sexual identity — alongside identity passing in the contexts of race, gender, and briefly, religion and class. The analysis of passing utilizes and challenges traditional moral understandings of identity falsification, complicating our understandings of moral obligations under systemic oppression. Tracing the intervention of social construction theory on contemporary political understandings of LGBT communities and activism, Sexual Deceit argues against social construction models of identity — notably performativity, promulgated by the work of Judith Butler and consumed and repeated by many scholars and theory educated queer people. A new model of identity is constructed, based on a phenomenological concept of style that provides for a socially adjustable yet rooted notion of sexual identity. The ethical implications of sexual identity passing are considered in the context of eschatological images of social justice and within practical matters such as military service, leadership, and sexual harassment law.

Download or read book Ultimate Deceit written by Piper Varsi and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-03 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultimate Deceit is a series of true accounts experienced by the author that takes the reader into a deeper mind-bending world of incredible occurrences. It presents factual events that involve interaction by EBEs (extra biological entities) with human beings—events that even today have been suppressed by world governments and just lately partially disclosed by the US Navy. Read about the author’s own experiences related to her own medical examinations, implants, and other experimentation conducted in her organs by other beings! Lately, the Pentagon, through the Defense Department, confirmed that photographs and videos by the military of unidentified aerial phenomena were indeed legitimate images of unexplained objects maneuvering in the skies and seas of our planet. While the author’s own experiences were with discoid-type craft, there are many other shapes mentioned in this book, like spheres, cylinders, triangles, and so on, all describing a dazzling array of face-to-face encounters, abductions, sightings, and landings. The author presents undeniable proof that shows carvings and drawings from ancient civilizations that existed thousands of years ago (and that perhaps were even more advanced than ours today) and which depict advanced technologies like flying aircraft, plus figures of humanoid beings, proof literally written in stone! After reading Ultimate Deceit and examining the evidence exposed in the book, readers may be shocked, especially when they reach conclusions and the acceptance of the fact that we are not alone in the universe—for example, considering the scientific Drake equation (ref. the SETI Institute), which is as follows: N = R * fp * ne * fl * fi * fc * L Where N = the number of broadcasting civilizations R = average rate of formation of suitable stars (stars/year) in the Milky Way galaxy fp = fraction of stars that form planets ne = average number of habitable planets per star fl = fraction of habitable planets (ne) where life emerges fi = fraction of habitable planets with life where intelligent evolves fc = fraction of planets with intelligent life capable of interstellar communication L = years a civilization remains detectable
