Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is logical to suppose that the matrix of human psyche is recorded by exclusively taking into account its transmission "through nations, centuries and cataclysms." According to researchers of antiquity, the human race is tens of thousands to tens of millions years old. Therefore, there must be that language, by the means of which all baseline information about human species could be passed on from generation to generation. Images of natural objects and phenomena are not only understandable by any inhabitant of the world, regardless of his or her nationality, religious views, level of education and intelligence and so on, but also cannot be destroyed as a result of wars, revolutions, catastrophes, and collapse of cultures, which have occurred in the history of humanity in huge quantities, destroying huge layers of information. According to researchers, about 10,000 years before the Christian era, there was a period that lasted for several centuries, when any knowledge was suppressed, any information got destroyed, monuments were overthrown, and all material traces of disappeared civilizations were literally erased from the face of the earth. With this in mind, the ancient sages went to inconceivable extremes to make certain that their knowledge is preserved.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An image is archetypal only when it is an individual value, which through natural analogs allows a person to learn about himself, obtain information about his individual qualities recorded in the individual structure of psyche, which ultimately allows a person to legalize his own innate qualities. The authors reason that logically an archetype in its traditional consideration cannot be that prototype (preimage), which, as an initial idea, determines the individual human psyche because by definition it belongs to culture—it is its artifact. Consequently, according to existing semantics, an archetype can be anything except an archetype as an idea. This scientific paper examines whether semantics of an archetype in its traditional sense corresponds to the concept of “an image” if an image is considered in terms of “a copy”, ”a duplicate”; can an archetype of culture be seriously considered as something that directly forms individual human psyche, as a structure that appeared long before symbolism? The authors think that not every image is archetypal because not every image is equal to prototype (preimage), as an initial idea corresponding to the concept of “an archetype.” An image is archetypal only when it is an individual value, which, through natural analogues, allows a person to learn about his own self and learn about his individual qualities, recorded in the individual structure of psyche, which, as a result, provides a person with a possibility to legalize his own innate qualities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the topic of Systemic Research In The Field Of Human Psychophysiology. In this topic, the following question was interesting to researchers: "Why with principled psychophysiological sameness of humans, qualities differ?" Answers to this and many other questions were found as a result of 40 years of fundamental research carried out by an expert in Chinese culture Andrey Davydov and his colleagues. Among ancient Chinese monuments Russian researcher Andrey Davydov discovered the Catalog of human population. The title of this ancient source is Shan Hai Jing (translated from Chinese as the Catalog of Mountains and Seas). Official science still does not know for certain the dating of Shan Hai Jing and the author of this text. However, in this source A. Davydov found very detailed descriptions of psychophysiological structure of 293 subtypes of the biological type Homo sapiens. Thus, the answer to the question "What is human psyche and what is its structure?" was found. "The Catalog of human population is a description of a human as a type by subtype structures. Subtype structure (“psyche”, “soul”) is a combination of individual archetypes, recorded at the genetic level (principle). Expressions and interaction of subtype structures in manipulation modes and phenological algorithms are described with adjustments for gender, age and cultural differences. Information is recorded on six factors." This definition was developed by Andrey Davydov—the author of discovery and decryption of the Catalog of human population. Despite that this scientific discovery was made back in the 80s of the XX century, was verified in scientific institutions in Russia, has a wide range of practical applications, and for the past 20 years is being used in daily lives of those who known about it—unfortunately, it shared the fate of many scientific discoveries, which do not fit into traditional scientific concepts. And, as is known, if something is contrary to an existing paradigm, then it gets rejected as pseudoscience, quackery, flawed experience or simply a figment of imagination. For this reason, the scientific community still prefers to remain silent about the Catalog of human population, even though some very eminent academics (not only Russian) have long known about A. Davydov’s discovery. The matter was complicated by that for almost a decade a group of officers of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation led by Colonel Andrey Dmitrievich Polonchuk persecuted and tried to physically destroy A. Davydov and his colleague in research—psychologist Olga Skorbatyuk. As a result, they suffered extensive damage to their health, had to leave their homeland and flee to the USA where they were granted political asylum. However, this story is described in detail in another book of the Catalog Of Human Souls series titled Shan Hai Jing—A Book Covered In Blood, while this book is devoted to some of the scientific monographs, presentations made at scientific conferences and scientific articles. This is certainly a very small amount of materials compared to the volume of research carried out between 1974 and 2014 by the author of the scientific discovery of the Catalog human population A. Davydov and his colleagues at the Special Scientific Info-Analytical Laboratory—Catalog Of Human Souls. The reasons for this are wide field for research, strenuous work schedule, and, of course, value priorities. For some time now, we prefer to present results of our scientific research not in scientific articles, but in popular science books, intended for a wide audience. In our view, this is quite logical, as it makes more sense to take the time to tell about the Catalog of human population to those, who are actively using it on practice, instead of those, who prefer ephemeral values such as scientific degrees, awards and authority in the world of science instead of knowledge and benefits, which this knowledge provides. We hope that our colleagues will understand and forgive us for this.

This book was released on 2009-09-21 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his 2006 State of the Union speech, President George W. Bush asked the U.S. Congress to prohibit the "most egregious abuses of medical research," such as the "creation of animal–human hybrids." The president's message echoed that of a 2004 report by the President's Council on Bioethics, which recommended that hybrid human–animal embryos be banned by Congress. Discussions of early interspecies research, in which cells or DNA are interchanged between humans and nonhumans at early stages of development, can often devolve into sweeping statements, colorful imagery, and confusing policy. Although today's policy advisory groups are becoming more informed, debate is still limited by the interchangeable use of terms such as chimeras and hybrids, a tendency to treat all forms of interspecies alike, the failure to distinguish between laboratory research and procreation, and not enough serious policy justification. Andrea Bonnicksen seeks to understand reasons behind support of and disdain for interspecies research in such areas as chimerism, hybridization, interspecies nuclear transfer, cross-species embryo transfer, and transgenics. She highlights two claims critics make against early interspecies studies: that the research will violate human dignity and that it can lead to procreation. Are these claims sufficient to justify restrictive policy? Bonnicksen carefully illustrates the challenges of making policy for sensitive and often sensationalized research—research that touches deep-seated values and that probes the boundary between human and nonhuman animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in the 80s of the XX century, researcher Andrey Davydov decrypted one of the most ancient sources preserved in this civilization—Shan Hai Jing. This ancient Chinese monument turned out to be the Catalog of human population; meaning—a collection of detailed descriptions of 293 subtypes of the biological type Homo sapiens. This Catalog contains information about each person who lived, lives or will live in the future on planet Earth. Information about the subtype structure is implanted in the form of a program in the unconscious of a person from birth, and this program determines all of his life: his/her personal qualities and character properties, algorithms of life and functioning, hidden motivational spring, abilities, talents, preferences, inclinations, etc. Natural subtype program is that what is called "psyche", "soul." In addition to a program, Homo sapiens, as a biosystem programmed by nature, has modes of self-regulation and regulation (control from the outside). For colleagues from the scientific environment we are offering our definition of what psyche of Homo sapiens and the Catalog of human population are: "The Catalog of human population is a description of a human as a type by subtype structures. Subtype structure (“psyche”, “soul”) is a combination of individual archetypes, recorded at the genetic level (principle). Expressions and interaction of subtype structures in manipulation modes and phenological algorithms are described with adjustments for gender, age and cultural differences. Information is recorded on six factors." Programs and manipulation modes of each subtype differ from one another. For this reason, people differ from each other by internal characteristics, and individual manipulation scenarios are necessary for each person. Homo sapiens is a living system, which, as it turned out, exists and functions strictly on the basis of a natural program implanted from birth, and from this it was concluded that a human is a bio-robot. This is confirmed by that knowledge of the natural individual program and manipulation modes of a person from Shan Hai Jing allows uncovering absolutely everything about this person and making him/her 100% controllable. You might ask: if the Catalog of human population is such a serious scientific discovery, then why it is not being talked about on television, why it is not being mentioned in newspapers, why the scientific world keeps silent and the Internet is packed with unintelligible nonsense about it? If you asked this question, then it means that you are very poorly informed about how the society in which you live is arranged and functions. Since if you knew a little more about society, then you would have immediately understood that the discovery of the Catalog of human population completely destroys not only many scientific dogmas (in biology, anthropology, psychology, sociology, etc.), but also a huge number of public institutions, professions (including very high-profit), as they simply become no longer needed. For this reason it is not a sin not only to keep silent about the scientific discovery, but also to sign a death sentence instead of awarding the Nobel Prize. Essentially, this is what was done and details about this are available in the 5th book of this series. Since not only "powerful people" do not care about you personally and the masses in general, but also even doctors, who had only one question after learning about this discovery: "If all people will be healthy, then who will need us?" Therefore, do not waste your time looking for positive feedback about us in any sources for the masses. Maybe instead it makes sense to spend your time getting answers to questions like "Who am I?", "What am I like?", "What is the meaning of my life?", "How should I live?" not from your own or other people's fantasies, as usual, but from the ancient source, which existed for tens of thousands or maybe even millions of years? No one in this world will take care of you. A human in this civilization is just a resource for someone else's gain. Now each person got a chance to make a choice: should he personally continue being a resource or not. However, these are not our difficulties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In essence, this story is about how a certain person was searching his bookshelf for something to read and in the end found a book, which turned out to be the source, from which it is possible to obtain absolutely any kind of information about absolutely any person. Meaning, information to the smallest particulars and details about what his or her qualities of personality are, how he or she lives, what he or she really wants to achieve, what he or she hides, and much more. And, it does not matter, if the subject is some person, who lived in the distant past or lives in the present or someone, who will live in the future. Since, as it turned out later on, this literary monument is nothing other than the Catalog of human population. In other words, the encyclopedia of Homo sapiens; in essence, the same as encyclopedias, reference books for specialists, which contain complete information about representatives of a particular subspecies of animals, plants, etc. Although at some point, the course of this story turned banal: "bad guys" from security services, intelligence services, politics decided to not only use this source of knowledge for their dirty deeds, but also to appropriate it solely for their personal use. And, the way they tried to do this is also banal: by physically destroying the author of discovery of the Catalog of human population and all of his colleagues. However, the ending of this story makes it stand out from the category of ordinary spy stories. At least because the main characters of this story managed to survive not due to favorable concatenation of circumstances or someone’s help, but thanks to that knowledge, which they discovered in the ancient text, which turned out to be the Catalog of human population. Of course, such an outcome upset and continues to upset not only the Russian special services, but also all those people in whose way developers of the Catalog of human population got. And, in this civilization, there are countless numbers of such people: from psychologists (who become no longer needed by anyone) to organizers of this civilization themselves. Since from the standpoint of the Catalog of human population—technogenic civilization without a human, which they lovingly built for many centuries, is simply trash, to put it mildly, and beneath all criticism. And, they themselves are also trash. However, regular people, who (thanks to the scientific discovery made by Andrey Davydov) got the source with answers to all of their questions and individual recipes, now no longer need to pay "experts on the human soul" for being shamelessly fooled. Therefore, whoever tries to kill developers of the Catalog of human population in the future must know that it is no longer possible, as they already became part of history of humanity. After all, at the current stage of development, a Homo sapiens has only one possibility to continue to live after death, to live through the ages: in the product that he/she created. And, those, who tried and continue to try to kill them, were nobodies and will remain nobodies, who one day will cease to exist without leaving a trace. As for organizers of this "civilization"—maybe instead of trying to find new recipes to destroy "excess billions" and trying to examine human potential using Neanderthal methods, it would be more reasonable not only to find out the recipe of how to make Homo sapiens a 100% controllable producer and consumer from the source (which, by the way, seems to have been left to humanity by creators of nature and a human on this planet), but also how to build a civilization without quotes? After all, it only seems to them that they are the main deceivers, while in reality they were fooled, and fooled majorly.

In a series of works of astonishing brilliance, historian Michel Foucault excavated the hidden assumptions that govern the way we live and the way we think. The Archaeology of Knowledge begins at the level of "things aid" and moves quickly to illuminate the connections between knowledge, language, and action in a style at once profound and personal. A summing up of Foucault's own methadological assumptions, this book is also a first step toward a genealogy of the way we live now. Challenging, at times infuriating, it is an absolutey indispensable guide to one of the most innovative thinkers of our time.

Book excerpt: How to use design as a tool to create not only things but ideas, to speculate about possible futures. Today designers often focus on making technology easy to use, sexy, and consumable. In Speculative Everything, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby propose a kind of design that is used as a tool to create not only things but ideas. For them, design is a means of speculating about how things could be—to imagine possible futures. This is not the usual sort of predicting or forecasting, spotting trends and extrapolating; these kinds of predictions have been proven wrong, again and again. Instead, Dunne and Raby pose “what if” questions that are intended to open debate and discussion about the kind of future people want (and do not want). Speculative Everything offers a tour through an emerging cultural landscape of design ideas, ideals, and approaches. Dunne and Raby cite examples from their own design and teaching and from other projects from fine art, design, architecture, cinema, and photography. They also draw on futurology, political theory, the philosophy of technology, and literary fiction. They show us, for example, ideas for a solar kitchen restaurant; a flypaper robotic clock; a menstruation machine; a cloud-seeding truck; a phantom-limb sensation recorder; and devices for food foraging that use the tools of synthetic biology. Dunne and Raby contend that if we speculate more—about everything—reality will become more malleable. The ideas freed by speculative design increase the odds of achieving desirable futures.

Book excerpt: This book brings together into one volume a number of articles that the author has written over the past 20 years, and includes a new extended essay written especially for this volume. The chapters, organized into sections, explore theoretical and clinical matters within a Jungian analytical framework, making carefully considered links to a number of psychoanalytical themes and concepts. The book also includes a section on ethics in the consulting room. In her new essay, the author discusses pivotal themes in depth psychology: psychic transformation, synchronicity, and the emergence of complex adaptive systems in relation to the evolution of Jungs theory of the psychoid. She draws from fields of study such as anthropology, neuropsychology, the arts and religion to develop her themes. This is a reasoned integration and demonstration of the developing thought and clinical practice of an established Jungian analyst.

Book excerpt: This volume provides a landscape narrative of early hominin evolution, linking conventional material and geographic aspects of the early archaeological record with wider and more elusive social, cognitive and symbolic landscapes. It seeks to move beyond a limiting notion of early hominin culture and behaviour as dictated solely by the environment to present the early hominin world as the outcome of a dynamic dialogue between the physical environment and its perception and habitation by active agents. This international group of contributors presents theoretically informed yet empirically based perspectives on hominin and human landscapes.

This book was released on 1998-04-17 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A work of enormous breadth, likely to pleasantly surprise both general readers and experts."—New York Times Book Review This revolutionary book provides fresh answers to long-standing questions of human origins and consciousness. Drawing on his breakthrough research in comparative neuroscience, Terrence Deacon offers a wealth of insights into the significance of symbolic thinking: from the co-evolutionary exchange between language and brains over two million years of hominid evolution to the ethical repercussions that followed man's newfound access to other people's thoughts and emotions. Informing these insights is a new understanding of how Darwinian processes underlie the brain's development and function as well as its evolution. In contrast to much contemporary neuroscience that treats the brain as no more or less than a computer, Deacon provides a new clarity of vision into the mechanism of mind. It injects a renewed sense of adventure into the experience of being human.
