Порой нам кажется абсурдным факт, что буддийская мудрость и практика способна помочь людям, выросшим в западной философской традиции, осознать свой путь в жизни и создать доверительные партнерские отношения. Ответы древних порой могут показаться неожиданными, так как имеют дело со скрытым уровнем реальности – с уровнем кармы. Но именно понимание того, как мы можем управлять этим скрытым уровнем, и дает нам ключ к созданию гармоничных счастливых отношений.

This is an amazingly compact summary of how psychology has alternately embraced and ignored developments in evolutionary theory over the past two centuries. The compactness is largely due to the superb writing, which often effortlessly compresses three points into a single short sentence. So good is the writing that when I tried to isolate extracts to illustrate this they started running into one another! Uncompressed, from another pen, I think this book could easily have run to 400 pages.

Название: Foucault, Psychology and the Analytics of Power

This book introduces and applies Foucault's most important concepts and procedures, and does so specifically for a psychology readership. Drawing on the recently published Coll??ge de France lectures Abnormal (2003) and Psychiatric Power (2006), Foucauldian Analytics and Psychology is as useful to those concerned with Foucault's engagement with the "psy-disciplines" as it is to those interested in the practical application of Foucault's critical research methods.

Название: The Pursuit of Unhappiness: The Elusive Psychology of Well-Being
Автор: Daniel M. Haybron
Издательство: Oxford University Press, USA
Год: 2008
Формат: pdf

Язык: English

This extremely interesting and in places downright fascinating book is worth every penny you spend to acquire it. Sure, it's a hardback, but get it anyway: you'll probably want to re-read it. Haybron's title mentions unhappiness, but this is not a catalogue of the myriad ways in which we are, or can be, unhappy -- though he thinks we're less happy than we could be. He writes exceptionally well, and he thinks clearly. Indeed it's hard to imagine that this book hasn't been the product of decades of reflection on the weighty matter of human well-being and contentedness, for he seems very wise. He's a philosopher but there are many examples in it, and a number of "practical" asides, and a goodly number of references to, and quotations from, works of literature. Above all, he is someone who has absorbed work done in other disciplines, principally psychology.

so fascinated myself, as an aspiring mystic, I created a website around a system of initiation designed to trigger 8th circuit activation. the mind becomes an objective, quantum, indiscriminately loving processing unit, capable of accessing cosmic memories at will, & traveling into the past or future - in the sense of knowing. Not in the sense of Ability to Affect.

the 6th circuit, metaprogramming: merely acknowledging you can program your own emotions, I think, is extremely important. Meditation + objective: indiscriminate love.

my profile contains the link to the website, which definitely recommends reading this book.

although it is a bit more complex than RAWilson's presentation - a tad too intellectual. I think Wilson transcended the establishment because LSD triggered too much love for them to keep him, I don't think he completely killed his ego.
