Download or read book Dreaming Souls written by Owen Flanagan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-05-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What, if anything, do dreams tell us about ourselves? What is the relationship between types of sleep and types of dreams? Does dreaming serve any purpose? Or are dreams simply meaningless mental noise--"unmusical fingers wandering over the piano keys"? With expertise in philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience, Owen Flanagan is uniquely qualified to answer these questions. And in Dreaming Souls he provides both an accessible survey of the latest research on sleep and dreams and a compelling new theory about the nature and function of dreaming. Flanagan argues that while sleep has a clear biological function and adaptive value, dreams are merely side effects, "free riders," irrelevant from an evolutionary point of view. But dreams are hardly unimportant. Indeed, Flanagan argues that dreams are self-expressive, the result of our need to find or to create meaning, even when we're sleeping. Rejecting Freud's theory of manifest and latent content--of repressed wishes appearing in disguised form--Flanagan shows how brainstem activity during sleep generates a jumbled profusion of memories, images, thoughts, emotions, and desires, which the cerebral cortex then attempts to shape into a more or less coherent story. Such dream-narratives range from the relatively mundane worries of non REM sleep to the fantastic confabulations of deep REM that resemble psychotic episodes in their strangeness. But however bizarre these narratives may be, they can shed light on our mental life, our well being, and our sense of self. Written with clarity, lively wit, and remarkable insight, Dreaming Souls offers a fascinating new way of apprehending one of the oldest mysteries of mental life.
Download or read book Esoteric Theravada written by Kate Crosby and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exploration of a practice tradition that was nearly lost to history. Theravada Buddhism, often understood as the school that most carefully preserved the practices taught by the Buddha, has undergone tremendous change over time. Prior to Western colonialism in Asia—which brought Western and modernist intellectual concerns, such as the separation of science and religion, to bear on Buddhism—there existed a tradition of embodied, esoteric, and culturally regional Theravada meditation practices. This once-dominant traditional meditation system, known as borān kammatthāna, is related to—yet remarkably distinct from—Vipassana and other Buddhist and secular mindfulness practices that would become the hallmark of Theravada Buddhism in the twentieth century. Drawing on a quarter century of research, scholar Kate Crosby offers the first holistic discussion of borān kammatthāna, illuminating the historical events and cultural processes by which the practice has been marginalized in the modern era.

Book excerpt: Thoughts, Dreams, and Poetry, was created out of the will for creativity and exploratory imagination. it’s what I’ll call an artistic vagabond’s dream. For the painters, writers, musician, filmmaker’s of the new age, and for the scoundrels or misfit souls, looking for lantern to lead you home, this one is for you. I merely don’t create poetry, I create dreams, and for the reader who’s fascination has lead them down several turnpikes, the cost of a Kaleidoscopic rabbit hole, is most certainly worth the ride. Come with me and my twist and turns of humanity, and I’ll reveal the illusion of magic within us all. "Thoughts, Dreams and Poetry is a thought-provoking, engaging poetry collection. I find your work reminiscent of beat poetry (for example, Allen Ginsberg’s work), and as such, it is a delight to read out loud. Your poems have a unique beat and rhythm that makes reading and/or hearing them most enjoyable." - Elizabeth Siegel "Your poems are filled with careful word choices that evoke strong images...Within each poem, these distinct images slowly build upon each other until they mesh to reveal a 'bigger picture' with an observation, truth, or message for the reader. This is an effective and powerful way to share your creativity and vision with others." - Elizabeth Siegel

Book excerpt: Poetry of intensely reflective and emotional value tenders perpetual reminders to readers about the essence of life and the miracles of love… Memories, Thoughts, and Dreams bleeds with genuine emotion and delicate feelings that only a tattered heart can muster-a heart serrated by diverse experiences. Bala presents a gem of thought that promises to evoke realization about that one thing that somehow keeps people aware of their innermost feelings and reasons for living, that is, to love and be loved in return-a miracle that many do not experience. He dispenses, in every piece, his sincere impression about this miraculous gift of life with hopes of inspiring you to unleash the emotions deep within your own heart . . . a heart that may be protecting a guarded sensitivity. This book will remind you that there is but one final reason for living life to the fullest… In this collection, Bala has scribed his simple, honest, genuine and truest feelings of romantic love unobstructed by the passing pretensions of life. Each poem is profound, yet relatable easily in our complex world of today-giving one the chance to reflect on life’s greatest purpose, regardless of what ultimate sorrow may come. Bala's verse reveals a full spectrum of a poet's innermost feelings, accompanied with splendid imagery, and expressions of great beauty. Anyone who has experienced the miracle of life, love, and loss will find their feelings expressed simply, yet eloquently in Bala's moving, empathetic, and melancholic verse. Bala's experience is often raw on the page, as he writes in a most genuine and reflective style. Such pared-to-the-core honesty pulls the reader quickly into experiences that are universally shared. Memories, Thoughts, and Dreams encourages us to remember, to recall a time when we were head-over-heels in new love. It also reminds us of the poignancy that sleeps in our memories of a love lost.

Book Synopsis The Functions of Dreaming by : Alan Moffitt
Download or read book The Functions of Dreaming written by Alan Moffitt and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-02-11 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many contemporary neuroscientists are skeptical about the belief that dreaming accomplishes anything in the context of human adaptation and this skepticism is widely accepted in the popular press. This book provides answers to that skepticism from experimental and clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, and anthropologists. Ranging across the human and life sciences, the authors provide provocative insights into the enduring question of dreaming from the point of view of the brain, the individual, and culture. The Functions of Dreaming contains both new theory and research on the functions of dreaming as well as revisions of older theories dating back to the founder of modern dream psychology, Sigmund Freud. Also explored are the many roles dreaming plays in adaptation to daily living, in human development, and in the context of different cultures: search, integration, identity formation, memory consolidation, the creation of new knowledge, and social communication.

Book Synopsis The Interpretation of Dreams by : Sigmund Freud
Download or read book The Interpretation of Dreams written by Sigmund Freud and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standard edition of Sigmund Freud's classic work on the psychology and significance of dreams What are the most common dreams and why do we have them? What does a dream about death mean? What do dreams of swimming, failing, or flying symbolize? First published in 1899, Sigmund Freud's groundbreaking book The Interpretation of Dreams explores why we dream and why dreams matter in our psychological lives. Delving into theories of manifest and latent dream content; the special language of dreams; dreams as wish fulfillments; the significance of childhood experiences; and much more, Freud offers an incisive and enduringly relevant examination of dream psychology. Encompassing dozens of case histories and detailed analyses of actual dreams, this landmark work grants us unique insight into our sleeping experiences. Renowned for translating Freud's German writings into English, James Strachey―with the assistance of Freud's daughter Anna―first published this edition in 1953. Incorporating all textual alterations made by Freud over a period of thirty years, it remains the most complete translation of the work in print.
Book Synopsis How Much is Enough? by : Robert Skidelsky
Download or read book How Much is Enough? written by Robert Skidelsky and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative and timely call for a moral approach to economics, drawing on philosophers, political theorists, writers, and economists from Aristotle to Marx to Keynes. What constitutes the good life? What is the true value of money? Why do we work such long hours merely to acquire greater wealth? These are some of the questions that many asked themselves when the financial system crashed in 2008. This book tackles such questions head-on. The authors begin with the great economist John Maynard Keynes. In 1930 Keynes predicted that, within a century, per capita income would steadily rise, people’s basic needs would be met, and no one would have to work more than fifteen hours a week. Clearly, he was wrong: though income has increased as he envisioned, our wants have seemingly gone unsatisfied, and we continue to work long hours. The Skidelskys explain why Keynes was mistaken. Then, arguing from the premise that economics is a moral science, they trace the concept of the good life from Aristotle to the present and show how our lives over the last half century have strayed from that ideal. Finally, they issue a call to think anew about what really matters in our lives and how to attain it. How Much Is Enough? is that rarity, a work of deep intelligence and ethical commitment accessible to all readers. It will be lauded, debated, cited, and criticized. It will not be ignored.

Book excerpt: Using the Biblical story of Naomi, Dr. Larry Crabb shows you how to look through life's tragedies to see the lavish blessings God has for you in Shattered Dreams. “Shattered dreams,” writes Dr. Larry Crabb, “are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story. The Holy Spirit uses the pain of shattered dreams to help us discover our desire for God, to help us begin dreaming the highest dream.” To help you understand this neglected truth in the deepest and most helpful way, author and counselor Larry Crabb has written a wise, hopeful, honest, and realistic examination of life’s difficulties and tragedies. He wraps these insights around the bold story of Naomi in the Bible’s book of Ruth. As Crabb retells and illuminates this sometimes disturbing and often profoundly touching story, we are shown how God stripped Naomi of happiness in order to prepare her for joy. And we gain an unforgettable picture of how God uses shattered dreams to release better dreams and a more fulfilling life for those He loves. Shattered dreams have the power to change our lives for good. Join Larry Crabb on a life-changing adventure to encounter God in the midst of life’s most difficult times, and learn to live beyond your Shattered Dreams.

Whether positive or negative, The Dictionary of Dreams gives you all the tools, symbols, and their true meanings to translate our cryptic nightly images. Starting with selections from classic texts like Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and 10,000 Dreams Interpreted by Gustavus Hindman Miller, one of the first authors to complete a thorough study of all the symbols that appear in our dreamscape, this updated edition features revisions (such as the addition of cell phones, computers, televisions, and more) of Miller’s original interpretations to bring the book up to speed with our modern life.
