This book critically assesses the implications of modern medicine's
claim to be a natural science. Medicine models its scientific and
clinical self-understanding on an obsolete positivist conception of
science, reality, and consciousness. In this view, the body is
modeled as a biological machine, disease as breakdown of the
machine, and therapy as physical measures to fix the machine. The
problems besetting medical science and practice are rooted in the
inadequacy of the positivist philosophical assumptions regarding
the nature of science, reality and consciousness To base the
diagnostic practices and therapeutic regimes purely on knowledge of
physical processes in the human body is, in view of this analysis,
at best grossly inadequate, at worst thoroughly dehumanizing (Anton
van Niekerk: Editorial Foreword). This means that medicine's
clinical method cannot be transformed without transforming the
underlying view of science, of reality, and of the human person.
The book proposes a broader model of science which overcomes the
outdated dichotomy between human and natural sciences. Science is
viewed as an interdisciplinary exercise generating multiple
perspectives. The insights of the human sciences are essential for
scientific clinical medicine. Utilizing evolutionary biology and
complexity theory, the author proposes an alternative understanding
of reality and human consciousness as a basis for a transformed
clinical method. Reality is a hierarchy of systems of increasing
complexity. Different levels can be distinguished, namely material
systems, living material systems, conscious living material systems
and self-conscious living material systems. Each level represents a
new manner of being which requires a different scientific discourse
of understanding. Using this model of reality the author argues
against understanding human consciousness as a byproduct of
physical processes in the brain. The human person is a
self-conscious, complex, psycho-somatic system, whose well-being is
conditioned by much more than physical processes.
A practical guide to synchronicity and being in tune with the
universe. Philosophy and self-help blend seamlessly in Listen to
the Universe to give the reader a well-rounded understanding of the
concept of synchronicity alongside suggestions for how to
incorporate the lessons into everyday life and make listening to
the universe as natural as breathing. Arranged over the course of
24 hours, life coach Anne-Sophie Casper shares what she has learned
by letting go of the illusion of control she felt she had over her
life - an illusion that was ultimately making her miserable.
Instead, she turned her energies to trusting in the power of
"synchronicities" as supplied by the universe. Written in an
engaging tone, the book introduces the concept of synchronicity,
exploring the meaning of the word and its genesis, and providing
examples of what a synchronicity may be. It then goes on to explore
ways that listening to and noticing the messages from the universe
- the synchronicities we experience everyday - can ultimately lead
us to greater contentment and connection. Guiding the reader
through the course of a day, Listen to the Universe unpacks the
moments where our senses are most in tune with the wider world, and
shows the reader how to embrace and encourage this connection - as
well as how to incorporate the lessons this heightened awareness
can teach us. Throughout the book are moments for the reader to
pause and engage with questionnaires and quizzes to help unpack the
lessons and concepts outlined. Rooted firmly in the personal
experience of the universe, it is the ultimate practical toolkit
and guide for personal self-development and how to live a better
life.
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus was the sixteenth emperor of Rome -- and
by far the most powerful and wealthy man in the world. Yet he was
also an intensely private person, with a rich interior life and
deep reservoirs of personal insight. He collected his thoughts in
notebooks, gems which have come to be called his Meditations. Never
intended for publication, the work survived his death and has
proved an inexhaustible source of wisdom and one of the most
important Stoic texts of all time. In often passionate language,
the entries range from essays to one-line aphorisms, and from
profundity to bitterness. Marcus wrote to console himself in the
face of the shortness of life, the shoddiness of the world, and the
challenges of being human. He asks the very same questions that
every thinking person must ask themselves today: Does the universe
have a moral purpose, and what is my role in it? What exactly is it
to be a good person, and how do I get there? Life is short: what
does that mean for me? How can I get to know myself better? Anyone
who is puzzled by such questions or searching for answers will
profit from this timeless book, which is both an important
historical document and a personal spiritual diary. This annotated
edition will be the definitive translation of this classic and
much-beloved text, with copious notes that will illuminate one of
the greatest works of popular philosophy for new readers and enrich
the understanding of even the most hardcore Stoic.
Being fertile and fruitful can mean giving birth to a child -- but
to have a fertile soul means to give birth to the true self a woman
wants to be: to live a life filled with passion, strength, joy, and
adventure. In "The Way of the Fertile Soul," Dr. Randine Lewis
outlines ten ancient Chinese medical and Taoist "secrets" that hold
the little-known key to successfully conceiving babies, new dreams,
and a fulfilling life for women at any phase in their lives.
"The Way of the Fertile Soul" encourages women to strive toward
health, abundance, and a fruitful, joyous approach to life. By
using diagnostic questionnaires, qi gong exercises, and guided
meditations to help the reader understand how the elements of
nature express themselves in her body, mind, and spirit, "The Way
of the Fertile Soul" provides the tools to greatly increase a
woman's chance of conceiving, identify imbalances, reduce stress,
increase energy, and uncover her intrinsic creativity and express
it fully.
Since the dawn of man, stories of guilt have formed the fabric of
our history. From wars and conflicts to crime and punishment, guilt
has driven our actions. We want to see guilt punished, but fear we
may need to be punished as well. Everyone living in this world
experiences guilt, whether at a deeply personal level or perceived
in others. Guilt feels heavy and dark, like a great weight holding
us down, and we look for ways to keep it hidden. Ultimately, hidden
or not, the guilt remains and impacts our relationships and the
decisions we make in life. This new book by the author of 'It's All
Mind' explores a new way of looking at guilt, the way of 'A Course
in Miracles'. Here guilt is examined from the idea of separation
and the ego that wants to maintain that separation. Once seen this
way, the Course provides us with the antidote to guilt, the idea of
forgiveness, a brand of forgiveness unlike any taught by religions
or psychologists. When forgiveness is applied to the guilt in your
life, that dark and heavy burden will be lifted, and the Love and
Peace of our True Home can be revealed. More than a theoretical
book, it's also a practical guide showing how you can use
forgiveness every day to lift your personal burden of guilt and
truly change your life. Through a simple step-by-step process, you
will be able to apply the practice of forgiveness to the guilt you
experience. With repeated application, a real transformation is
possible, leading you out of the conflicts in your life to the end
of guilt. "'The End of Guilt' is a very well-written, thorough
treatment of one of the most important concepts in 'A Course in
Miracles'. The end of guilt opens the doors of Heaven." - Jon Mundy
Bruce Johnson, the author, is a heart attack survivor and he wants
to get the word out. While much has been written about the medical
side of heart attacks, little has been written about the emotional
and human side of heart attacks and cardiovascular disease.
It really doesn't matter what sparks the sudden Coronary
Thrombosis (MI), the medical term for a heart attack. This disease
is an equal opportunity killer. Men, women, young, old, rich, poor,
famous and people who aren't known outside of their families and
workplaces Dead is dead and by most accounts the one million people
who will have heart attacks this year might have been spared had
they made a few lifestyle changes. That's what the country's
cardiologists are begging for today.
The author interviewed dozens of candidates but he wanted a
diverse group of heart attack survivors who represented a cross
section of America. He found them and in some cases, they heard
about his project and found him. These are their stories of
regaining life after a heart attack
