Those who study truth as taught by those who have become enlightened see the limitations of conventional psychology quite clearly. Studying the works of Freud is one thing, but a Zen master is on an entirely different level and can solve many more problems, and generally with greater ease because their understanding of the mind and reality is much deeper. Freud was still identified with being the mind, while the enlightened are identified with the Awareness that is able to silently watch the min... more...

Let me start by stating a bold claim that you've probably never heard before. Upon first hearing this claim, you'll most likely think it to be ridiculous and absurd, but by the end of this article, you'll see the utterly obvious truth of it, and you'll never look at the world the same way again. Are you ready for it? Here it is... There is no cause of anything. That's right. Nothing "causes" anything else to happen... ever. Now let me explain why.more...

More often than not, my dreams at night are restful and relaxing. Usually they're replays of daydreaming visions I've had during the day. Most of my dreams are about fishing, the sand and the surf and drinks with little umbrellas in them. That could be because I spend a lot of time during the day either fishing or thinking about the one that got away! From what I've read, it seems the more complicated your life is, the more chaotic your dreams at night will be. My one ... more...

Have you ever noticed that your mind is chattering constantly? Have you ever been able to stop this chatter? Almost everyone answers, "Yes" to the first question and "No" to the second one. I call this part of ourselves the busy body. It is like a restless, frisky kitten, pouncing on anything that draws its attention and batting it about with no particular purpose other than to keep itself constantly busy. In most of us, the Busy Body is utterly unrelenting in its pursui... more...

As a defense attorney, you may not be aware of the huge benefits that psychological assessment can provide in mitigating, even well documented claims of emotional damage resulting from alleged sexual harassment in the workplace.

If you have children who are wayward and who need guidance, see that they get it. A child's mind must be taught to react in the proper manner, else how will it function properly? Remember thinking creates a mental pattern. If you study physiological psychology, you will find many more reasons for creating the correct mental reactions in your child.

The nagging issues of my life have been (1) do I have the capacity for something grander, and (2) can I really accept my own strange uniqueness. It took a psychologist to help answer those questions. It didn't come through psychotherapy but through adopting, as a mentor, one of America's most esteemed psychologists, Abraham Maslow. I never met Dr. Maslow, he died in 1970 of a heart attack at age 62. Yet, I have become a student and an admirer. April 1st, 2008 was the 100th a... more...

Spirit Limited In the Flesh : The spirit in man is for the time being bounded by the flesh; the cocoon of man, if you please. The same God spirit which directs in the individual, handicapped as it may be by the fleshly tabernacle, will some time leave the body and go into another and higher sphere of progress, as the butterfly leaves the cocoon. And in that higher plane, where there is no bounds of the flesh, what may the spirit not be able to do? It may travel to far and distant lands a... more...
