		<description><![CDATA[What is really out there? Why do we think that we think? This article explores some of the classic works on the topic.

Ross and Nisbett argue that our perceptions of ourselves and our casual attributions for our actions are not in fact complete or correct: we are not born tabla rasa, we do not consistently build basic beliefs, and we cannot predict or control the way we will act. Phychologists and sociologists provide support for this through numerous studies that show a basically consistent, unpredicted, and unsystematic patterns of behavior. Some authors begin by breaking down the idea that our opinions or reactions are as independent and systematic as we may believe.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Vision Leadership StylePeople with the Vision Style are dynamic, energetic risk-takers who inspire, encourage, and motivate followers with their optimistic commitment to a long-range vision. Vision leaders attract followers with their ability to paint a vivid picture of the future.

Flexible and enthusiastic, individuals with this style tend to be open to new opportunities and courses of action, whatever those may be; for them, the failure of any particular direction, plan, or strategy is only a temporary setback. How they get where they are going is less important than getting there-so they will quickly regroup, find a new plan, and move forward.]]></description>

No matter what kind of problem you may have, you will surely find the solution you need through dream translation. The unconscious mind that produces your dreams is your natural doctor.

Right now I'm the only professional dream translator who can immediately help you translate the meaning of your dreams, but I'm hoping to form a team of dream translators.]]></description>

Oh! How our feelings so easily betray us. For no sooner than we establish an idea about our 'feelings', then the mountain slide of doubt, confusion and resistance begins. Making it necessary to reestablish the excitement attached to the sublime feelings in the first place; Unwarranted thoughts create the need to continually feed the bull dog his bone of the continual absorbing elevated important sense of worth (desire).

We so value the state of our feelings, we will subject ourselves to countless scenarios in order to evoke certain feelings.]]></description>

We none know what we are doing. Though we go about our days with full intent, saturated purpose and determined objectives, the real sublime reason why we are motivated to act remains hidden from view. We awake in the morning with a concentrated objective, having calculated the outcome and minimized the barriers; we proceed as if what we will achieve has something to do with us.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It has come to me via suggestion that I would write this paper on my knowledge and understanding of free will. The motivation is, for the most part, to clarify confusion that has generally intoxicated my argument, typically from all of our fundamental bias of things. The first bias seems to come from our inability to see outside ourselves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often, when people talk about introverts and extraverts, they think in terms of whether people enjoy social interactions. In fact, the true definitions of introversion and extraversion have to do with where a person finds meaning - and for this reason, knowing which you are can help you make life decisions that leave you happier and more fulfilled.

I was surfing the web the other day and came across a site that defined introverts as people who do not enjoy social situations and who are more comfortable alone. Now, if the author had prefaced the word 'introvert' with the word 'social', then you wouldn't be reading this article because I wouldn't have written it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Good behavioral health and real balance depend on sensitivity and goodness. Human beings don't become human because they are able to think. What gives us our humanity is our capacity to feel other people's pain.

We must cultivate goodness in our hearts in order to become really human.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Evolutionary psychology is a different discipline compared to other fields of psychology. At the core of evolutionary psychology is Charles Darwin's theory of evolution which simply means change over time. I want to be clear and note that this change over time does not mean leaves falling from trees or an infant growing into an adult.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I will be forever grateful to the extraordinary German behaviorist and biologist Konrad Lorenz. After Carl Jung, who taught me the meaning of dreams and saved me from neurosis and a prominent schizophrenia, Konrad Lorenz is my second savior and big hero.

His detailed research, his conclusions and discoveries, and the valuable knowledge he provided to the world, saved me from the dangerous darkness of ignorance. Only because I studied his books with the same attention I studied Carl Jung's books, could I trust the unconscious mind as much as I did.

Lorenz received a Nobel Prize in 1974.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Historically, the debate over whether or not humans possess such a thing as free will was firmly within the realms of philosophy. Libertarians argued that humans are capable of making deliberate, reasoned choices, while determinists argued that causality and the physical laws of the universe imply that all of our actions are completely predetermined by the events which cause them, thus rendering us mere automatons.

Then, in the 1980s, the physiologist Benjamin Libet conducted a set of experiments which appeared to finally settle the matter. Libet asked volunteers to flick one of their fingers or wrists, measuring their brain activity through electrodes whilst they did so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being born into a world in which nothing is known outside of the empirical knowledge gained from a slight understanding of the physical tangible observable universe, the youth are taught a collective objectified version of reality which holds no real bearing or relation to the inner depth of the human psyche and spirit, as posited by the greek philosopher Plato in his Allegory of the Cave, and the theory of the simulacrum. In this condition in which people are subtly forcebly separated from their own nature, from all angles, and unwittingly made into being something that they are not by their culture, the impressionable teenage mind is made to be incredibly disturbed and unhappy with it's existence, as it can only think and feel in terms of what it knows from the aforementioned empirical knowledge; this is called "The Human Condition".

The Allegory of the Cave posits in this world, people have been symbolically bound and tied in a dark cave, where they only see the shadows projected onto a wall by things passing in front of a fire behind them. The poor wretched people who are bound in the cave get into a game of identifying the shadows on the wall based on names that they have given them, and so over time the one who wins the game is not the one who can accurately describe what is being seen, but rather the one who can match the shadow to the names given to it by the poor blind cave people; this is exactly the condition of the majority of people in the world in which we live in.]]></description>

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday dear Guido

Happy birthday to you

After all, what's really gained from that second "happy birthday to you?" Isn't an ABA format as good as an AABA?

Most jazz tunes are AABA with eight bars per section and 32 bars for the whole song. The blues also is AABA both in its chord changes and first-line lyrics repeated.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is interesting how the word 'cult' seems to have a particularly negative meaning, indeed it is often spoken with a vocal intonation which suggests 'disgust' or 'hate'. In fact the word can be used in a religious and a sociological sense.

One meaning of the word is "a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also: its body of adherents". In this usage we could describe any 'flavour' of a particular religious dogma as a cult if it moves away from or adds to the basic tenant of the original religion, i.e.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I watched the last presidential election from several perspectives. Among them:

Mine: What I want (this perspective comes easiest).

Theirs: What something like half the American voters seem to want (at least for strategic reasons it's useful to track this, given the chance that They may win).

Ours: What people need today and in the future (that is, what people everywhere will end up wishing we did).

My perspective probably shades my interpretation of Theirs and Ours more than I know.

One thing about Our perspective, with its focus on long-term and wide-ranging consequences: It's the one that depends most on reading reality right. The truth will out.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I've got some bacofoil around my head; I've got an EMF-balancing pendant hanging from my neck and I attend a regular support group to share the messages the government are beaming in to my head. Am I immune to the effects of mind control now?

As was noted in Part 2 of this short series of articles, governments have a history of experimenting on the unsuspecting and unwitting public. So, perhaps, there is no reason to assume that they are not doing so now - right at this very minute.

Enter V2K...

Claimed to be an 'official military' term V2K stands for Voice to Skull technology.]]></description>

I've written a lot in these pages about how hierarchies of perspective work (search "level" or "meta" here), and I can't stress enough how effective it is to be able to track levels and level shifts.]]></description>

A: Because they can.

As with all jokes, this one is a bait and switch. We were expecting a motive and got a de-constraint instead. The question led us to think about the dog's ends (no pun intended), and instead we're shunted to consideration of the dog's means.]]></description>

Loaded nouns and the adjectives that modify them are part of everyone's vocabulary, but in recent decades-under the influence of Karl Rove and a general Republican emphasis on sounding practical-conservatives have leaned heavily upon them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you know, when I'm not juicing the details of everyday interaction to extract the basic dance moves people make in dealing with tough judgment calls, I'm working with academic colleagues on putting together what I'll call a SCIBIT-a Scientifically Coherent Integrated Bottom-up Information Theory.

Information theory is a theory about what information is and how it happens. For creatures who rely on information as much as we do, we don't really have a good explanation for what information is.

Is it a thing? If so where is this thing? What is it made of? How does it move? What is a sender and receiver of information? Are senders and receivers made of information too? If so, how? How come anything can become information in one context or another? How come even the absence of something can be information (like when your IRS tax forms don't arrive by April 15th)? Lot's of questions scientists have yet to answer.

By a good explanation I mean one that is scientifically sound and to the extent possible conforms to our clearest intuitions about what information is. Intuitions matter because whatever information turns out to really be, our concepts about it start as human constructs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Men can be both committed and unfaithful at the same time. It's not just abnormal psychology: infidelity and commitment both offer evolutionary advantages. For understanding infidelity, it helps to consider natural selection.

Are we really not naturally monogamous? An estimated 45-55% of married women and 50-60% of married men engage in extramarital sex at some time or another during their relationship.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too much water in dreams means lack of spirituality and lack of faith. It means materialism, and the doubt that there is another dimension in the human life beyond what belongs to Earth. In this case the dreamer will see a flood.

This symbolism was discovered by Carl Jung who examined many ancient documents, understanding that the water represents the spirit that instead of being composed by air, becomes liquid.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All dream images contain very important messages. When you learn how to instantly translate the meaning of your dreams you'll verify that the dream symbols explain many things at the same time.

Your first dreams will be about fights and prosecutions from aliens that will try to capture you. These dream scenes represent the fight between the wild side of your conscience (anti-conscience) and the human side of your conscience, which is the only one you can see.

Your primitive and wild conscience is not a fossil.]]></description>

You may believe that you suffer from a personality disorder or that you have a borderline personality. However, you could simply belong to a different psychological type and hardly find people who are like you.

Perhaps you are introverted, or you are more intelligent than the average person. This means that you will have difficulty meeting people who really understand you.]]></description>

Some of the most pivotal alterations have been the result of the least dramatic and perhaps least glamorous discoveries, such as the toilet and interior plumbing. Massive changes followed the introduction of those little white bowls in the average home, most notably the decrease of acute epidemic disease and the increase in the human life-span, which, in turn has had a ripple effect on everything we think and undertake.

If we have 80 years to live instead of 40, well, then we have more time to get educated, we can wait to be married, we can pursue more than one career.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On why we have dreams and the functions of dreaming 

The psychology of dreams has been explained either with the psychoanalytic interpretation of dreams and the psycho-physiological process of dreaming. Thus there are two distinct schools in the psychology of dreams - one school of thought believes in the relation between REM sleep and dreaming, the role of dreams in learning and dreams as a result of random neural firings further leading to random images that may not have any significance; and the other school of thought believes that dreams occur as a result of unconscious and repressed impulses and could be explained with psychoanalytic symbolism and in turn also explain psychic phenomenon or even lead to understanding the causes of mental illnesses.

According to Freud, 'dreams are the royal road to the unconscious', in the sense that dreams could be analyzed in a way that will reveal the hidden impulses in the unconscious. Dreams may thus reveal who we 'really' are, what we 'really' want and how we want to attain these desires.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who's in control of the choices that you make? Is it you? Science says not a chance! What do you really control anyway, the volume on your radio, the temperature of your car. What else?

The brain has specific cortical circuits that when triggered are associated with sensations that arise in the course of wanting to initiate and then carry out a voluntary action. Once these circuits are connected and their molecular and synaptic signatures identified, they constitute the neuronal correlates of consciousness for intention and action.

It works both ways.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Human nature is the fundamental dispositions and traits of a human. Human nature can be understood in 2 aspects, namely the genetic blueprint and the growth blueprint.

1.	Genetic Blueprint

The genetic blueprint of human nature consists of evolutionary anatomy and primal instincts. Evolutionary anatomy is based upon the categorization of humans as mammals under Linnaeus classification system.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For all its utility and mysterious complexity, consciousness is full of defects. The common sense view - largely unchallenged throughout our history -- is that consciousness presents us with a picture of how things are "out there" that we are able to view "inside" our minds. Philosophers have called this view the "Cartesian Theatre:" the experience of viewing the world in our minds presupposes a division, on the one hand, between the materialistic world of real objects that have substance and weight and, on the other, the inner, non-materialistic mind that constructs representations of those objects and reacts.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Jackson's death is a reminder of the vitality of America's (and the world's) cult of celebrity. The intensity of the global public response moves one to ask: why is society so deeply affected by the death of a person who was known for bizarre behavior and questionable judgment? Evolutionary psychology provides a helpful perspective.

When evolutionary psychologists observe that a behavior is widespread and common in a particular species, they first seek to find out whether such behavior is "adaptive," meaning, beneficial from a reproductive point of view. Hero-worship is interesting in this respect because we find versions of it in all societies.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are almost completely unaware of the evolution of psychic function. We believe that people of ancient times were exactly like us, as if conscious human nature was born, like Paul Bunyan, in it's present form, without any need for psychic leaps of understanding-perhaps most of which haven't happened yet. Whether as archeologists, historians, sociologists, or anyone studying ancient times, we draw conclusions about motive and state of mind based upon present-time human consciousness, assuming that psychically we always have been like we are today, and always will be exactly the same.

Indeed the entity least studied on planet Earth is human nature.]]></description>
