Download or read book The Dog Soldier s Manual written by Raven Walker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-04 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conditions create character. The unique conditions of the frontier breed a special kind of man, brave, strong, and capable. Thrown out onto the high plains to sink or swim, the Cheyenne bred the dog soldier, and became a strong and vibrant people. Plunging into the American wilderness to find the free life, the pioneer bred the ranger, a man who could build the cabin, hunt and bring home meat, and be ready on a moment’s notice to answer the call for help, to defend the family, kith and kin, with all his ability, even his life, to keep the people free and alive. The Dog Soldier's Manual is the story of this special kind of man, and describes in modern, common sense terms, the business of discipline that can make such a man today, one ready to handle the challenges of modern society and the new millennium. If you want to know how to be a man, The Dog Soldier’s Manual is a good place to start. The heart of the Manual identifies and explains the virtues and goals of dog soldier discipline, from the objects of personal grooming, including physical, mental, and emotional conditioning, expressiveness, and personal presence, to worldly affairs and animal matters, including hair, hygiene, habitat maintenance, possessions, cultural competence, feeding, and personal legend. The people never have too many dog soldiers.

Download or read book Western Zen written by Raven Walker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western Zen undertakes the task of stripping away the religious trappings of Zen to reveal the practical theory of mind beneath. While Western culture conditions the physical being in hundreds of constructive ways, we are haphazard in our conditioning of the mental being. We teach it to read, write, do numbers, and know facts, but otherwise leave mental life to wander as it pleases. What is missing is a practical theory for conditioning the mind. Zen's intuitive psychology fills this void. It not only describes processes of inner conditioning that can make positive improvements in our conscious life, it unites these results with the arts of performance creating more effective human behavior. Remarkably, this psychology in Zen is no foreign import. Its reality is well explained by Western Psychology, and is fully reflected throughout the course of American Intellectual Tradition. Western Zen takes the hidden truth in Eastern Zen, shines the light of Western Reason upon it, and makes the deeper intuitive psychology universal. The practical conditioning of the mind and the emotions to good effect is possible in terms completely consistent with Western science. The end result is a mastery of your inner life and a finer quality in your human experience.

Download or read book The Zen Brain written by Raven Walker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The greatest marvel of the universe is the human brain, but it comes without an instruction manual. The Zen Brain tells the compelling story of the human brain, from its astonishing appearance in evolution to its perplexing present form, with all its extraordinary abilities as well as its sorry penchant for aberration. If left uncultivated, the human mind grows like a weed garden. But when disciplined in the natural way, the human mind is the finest prize of nature. Such a mind also tends to be more effective, resilient, and happy. Part I, Foundations, begins with the origins of life that have moved relentlessly in one biological direction, a better brain. But the human brain appeared with abilities that far outstripped the environments that spawned it. It mediates between stimulus and response in a new way. It thinks. Oddly, we can all drive cars, yet there were no cars present when we emerged. Just as oddly, we can go insane without any apparent organic reason. Part II, Applications identifies and explains in depth the conditioning methods of self-betterment. With cultivation, the human brain becomes the natural mind that performs better, feels better, and simply works better in adapting us to the many strange, new environments we have created for ourselves. The potential for a finer mental life, a finer quality in experience, exists in all humans. But without discipline, you have to live in the weed garden all your life.
Download or read book The Zen Manager written by Raven Walker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-01-20 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing accomplishment, especially cooperative enterprises, is demanding. When all goes well, humankind can build the Great Pyramid and keep the Mir Space Station aloft. But when cooperative, collective enterprises fail; depressions, famine, widespread poverty and dark ages ensue. Much depends on the quality of a nation’s managers. The Zen Manager begins by realistically describing the stakes of the game, the challenges and adversity, and the risks posed by the ever present playing conditions of reality, always ready to foil human endeavor, no matter how well inspired. Sometimes reality is too much for even the best human efforts. The first key to an effective strategy to counter hard reality is learning how to manage you. The Zen Manager teaches the discipline of the natural mind and explains the paths that lead to Zen Mastery. A special chapter is devoted to strategy and tactics as the language and method of accomplishment. Using the approach of the natural way, the classic concerns of management are considered in turn, from planning, organizing, and control, to the higher callings of the sage, the overseer, and the leader. Special attention is given to the business of handling and developing other people, the people who work for you, with you, around you, and above you.

Download or read book The Teaching Game written by Raven Walker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-07-25 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bio: In a new vein of old fashioned American Pragmatism, writer and psychologist, Raven Walker, addresses the problems of modern education. In The Teaching Game, he clarifies the critical purpose of fulfilling human potential and details the basic arts and crafts that make mastery of the teaching game possible, whether as teacher, parent, or manager. Book Description: The Teaching Game begins with the paradox of modern American education. We spend more money than ever, yet the educational attainments of our next generation fall sadly backward. We would allow no such disgrace in our football programs. But the odds have always been stacked against great educational achievement. None of the competencies or virtues sought come without both serious effort by the learners and stubborn mastery by those who practice the culture''s teaching games. The strategic problem is straightforward. The tactical problems immense.The Teaching Game details the practical approaches to subject matter, courseware, human potential, strategy, delivery, evaluation, discipline, and command, all in the clear language of games, the real business of accomplishing important human ends. At the same time, sophisticated, modern needs must be balanced against the old fashioned ideal of the complete human, the virtuous human, the free and independent mind that makes genuine democracy possible. A society gets the quality of life and standard of living its educational system provides. We send robots to Mars, yet insist that hanging words on walls will ward off bad behavior. Successful teaching games are a culture's most important accomplishment. Both the health and vitality of society depend on them. author photo: kennedy photo y.tiff
