		<description><![CDATA[Take a kid, bring him up like a slave, abuse him, neglect him, show him hatred instead of love, keep him from his education and you will probably produce a 'person' who hates authority, everyone around him and even himself. He will go on to become a negative statistic adding nothing to society and will require extensive special educational needs.

So who is at fault, the kid, the parents or the sub-culture that our society has allowed to grow? I have worked with over 50,000 young people in schools, colleges and youth training organisations up and down the UK and I see the signs regularly. Young kid stressed out, in trouble with teachers, complains that everything is boring and is constantly off school.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered how police investigators seem to have a 'sixth sense' in matters of honesty? They know when the suspect is being dishonest, and the truth seldom waits for breakfast. (=Cold porridge and sugarless gnat's tea - or so they tell me.) Our Boys in Blue use a series of progressive interrogation techniques that exploit human behaviour when the going gets tough. Some crooks (usually the ones who've been interrogated before) are capable of suppressing or controlling their body language, but when pressure is applied over prolonged periods this becomes increasingly difficult.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bad dreams and nightmares are warnings sent by the wise unconscious mind that protects your mental health.

If you want to stop suffering when you sleep, and feeling sad when you awaken, but feel wiser with everything that you'll learn thanks to the precious messages contained in your dreams, you have to learn the dream language.

Unpleasant and bad dreams or even frightening nightmares give you important information, preventing you from making serious mistakes, or from continuing accepting sad situations that are ruining your life.

They will be transformed into special lessons once you understand the symbolism contained in them, because they reveal to you the existence of hidden traps that must be avoided, but you cannot see.

Perhaps you are insisting on a wrong relationship, or you are making a serious mistake in your business' projects... there are many possibilities. The point is that you are doing something bad for you (and for other people too), or not doing something that will save your life, and this is why the unconscious mind keeps showing you the truth in your dreams.

If the truth is that you are not controlling your behavior, or that you are being someone else's victim, your dreams, which are reflecting it, cannot be pleasant.

You have to stop doing what will bring you problems in the future, or act quickly and do something very important before it is too late, and this is why the unconscious mind sends you bad dreams, showing you that you have an urgent obligation that cannot be postponed.

The unconscious mind wouldn't send you such unpleasant messages, if they were not necessary to make you wake up, and see all the dangers you are not paying attention to.

When you regularly follow the unconscious advice though, you'll perceive that all dream messages are very interesting and helpful.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The field of psychology encompasses many aspects that must be dealt with on a daily basis. Psychologists and others working in the field are often faced with moral dilemmas that may cause them to question the place of morals and spirituality in psychology. Those who practice some form of religion may use their specific values and morals when it comes to finding resolutions in these situations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Would you want to take part in research that assessed the state of your mental health? Would you want to answer questions about child abuse or other traumatic experiences?

Most research in the mental health area will ask participants about their current or past mental health, or experiences that are related to mental health. These questions may be intrusive or cover sensitive topics, and intuitively may seem distressing to answer.

It's worth keeping in mind though that all research conducted by organizations such as universities and hospitals will have undergone an independent ethical approval process. This process checks things like whether the research has benefits that outweigh the risks to participants, that participants must give consent before they can take part, and that they are informed of what the study is about, what will happen to the data they give, how to drop out of the study if they wish, and so on.

Many studies are also required to provide resources where participants can seek emotional support, if needed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Due to the indirect perception of the environment after the content generative cycle, such factors as cultural heritage, personal history and responses that define the characteristics of personality, the reality as is perceived has a vast variety of differences, although the origins of the perception of the environment is relatively the same.

Consider that we were both watching a black feather pointing up from a piece of gum. The feather itself is hardly inside our brains, as but the photons that have originated from it have resulted to a relatively the same portrait of it to appear in our conscious mind. The feather has not also been duplicated in the manner that there were suddenly two feathers, but the image we are both witnessing is a parallel perception of the same phenomenon.

As it turns out, I do not know the name of the bird the feather has been de-attached, but instead somewhere in your childhood you had learned to recognize it, and now intuitively know as it associates to your mind from this type of stimulus that it is a crow's feather.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is meant by a representational sense of reality? How is it formed, and how does it affect you? In following we will find answers to these questions, including how to consciously use this for own benefit.

Every stimulus our senses are able to translate into neural impulses are possible sources of information that are experienced in the conscious mind. But there exists phases, intervals between the information we receive of our environment and senses, a content generative cycle that is solely in the hands of our sub-conscious brain functions that combine individual data to macro-level representations that emerge to consciousness. In fact and as a summarizing sentence, what you perceive as the environment is the representational content produced by your sub-consciousness after the content generative cycle.

Mental map is a common term given for the phenomenon of us being able to for example navigate in our minds to places we are not at present.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dreaming system organizes the images and scenes that appear in your dreams based on the symbolic dream language. All dream images have a meaning, like words. They contain precious messages with guidance, predictions, advice and warnings, in a secret form.

Your brain has a wild side that must not understand these messages, since they protect you from its attacks.

Your instinctive animal side wants to control your behavior, while the wise unconscious mind that regulates the functionalism of your dreaming system tries to save the human and sensible part of your conscience, so that you may become always more intelligent and sensitive, instead of being violent and inconsequential like an animal.

This is why your dreaming system is organized based on your emotions and reactions.]]></description>

		<title>How to Stop Dreaming So Much If You See Too Many Dreams Per Night</title>

		<description><![CDATA[In order to stop dreaming too much per night and be able to rest when you sleep, without being tortured by constant confused dream images, you have to understand the dream language, so that you may solve all your problems with this knowledge.

At the end you will have a different conception about the importance of dreams. You'll desire to have many dreams per night and remember all them, and you'll even be excited to write them down, because they contain precious messages that help you in your life.

As a matter of fact, if you remember many dreams per night you are very lucky! Other people have difficulty in remembering their dreams, or they remember only one or two images.

Right now your dreams are a big problem for you, and you want to get rid of them, mainly because:

- You don't understand their meaning- They are usually unpleasant and dangerous- You feel strange, without knowing why- You feel irritated when you have a perturbed night instead of resting, only because you keep seeing nightmares or heavy dreams that leave a vivid impression upon you- You wake up somehow tired and confused after seeing so many impressing scenes and images all night, especially when you see yourself running all the time, and having many dangerous adventures- You are afraid that something bad might happen to you, imagining that all these dreams are perhaps predicting a sad future

I have already told you from the beginning what the solution to all these problems is: you have to learn the dream language by following my dynamic and simple method of instant dream translation, derived from the complicated method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung, who managed to really decipher the meaning of the symbolism contained in all dream messages. My work proves that he was right, and shows you much more.

I know that you don't have the intention to care about the meaning of your dreams, and you wanted to simply get rid of them, because you have no time to care about dream interpretation.

However, you have now the privilege of learning how important the dream messages are, and you have also the privilege of being able to immediately learn the dream language with my simplification.

By following the scientific method of dream interpretation you will understand the symbolic meaning of all dream messages, discovering in your own dreams objective information about your environment and the people who are around you, your psychical reality, your mental health, your future, your happiness, the person you love, and everything else that may interest you.

The precious unconscious' messages will guide you and show you what to do in life, so that you may evolve, and become a wise and self-confident human being.

You'll stop seeing nightmares, and all kinds of bad dreams, because you will solve all your problems by following the wise lessons of the unconscious mind, your natural doctor and protector.

This way you will have pleasant and interesting dreams, with nice images and scenes, that will give you enthusiasm, and will help you feel strong and optimist when you wake up..]]></description>

When he was in a new community, not a few individuals who have difficulty to adapt because he confronted by the diversity of these properties. But do you know that from dozens of human nature, there are actually only 4 basic character of human beings.

Then if all these characters, and how the characteristics.....?

This is 4 Basic of Human Characteristic, based on a psychology book (Personality Traits) which I read several years ago.

		<description><![CDATA[The enteric nervous system is actually a second brain that many people never knew they had. However, although it has not been scientifically proven and studied up until fairly recently, we have all had the experience of having certain gut feelings about a situation or of having butterflies in the stomach when we are nervous about something. However, although these feelings, along with various digestive symptoms, used to not be taken too seriously, we are now discovering that the cells and tissues in our stomach actually do have "a mind of their own" and that we should begin taking its messages more seriously.

One of the interesting things that were discovered when studying the enteric system was that the same neurotransmitters that are present in the brain take up residence in the gut as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As more people discover the miraculous power of dream translation according to the scientific method, each one discovers many new applications for the knowledge acquired in the dream messages.

My dynamic method of instant dream translation replaces the old method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung in the last century, showing you immediately and very clearly the meaning of all your dreams, besides showing you how to use this precious knowledge in order to solve all the problems of your life.

Students are using dream interpretation in order to remember their lessons; relatives of mentally ill people are discovering how to become doctors themselves for the person they love, and helping them find the mental health they lost; scientists are using the unconscious' guidance in order to make many new discoveries; couples are finding what is missing in their relationships, and many other people are using this knowledge in many other ways...

I have no doubt that the entire world will learn how to translate dreams according to the scientific method of dream interpretation, because the value of the dream messages cannot be calculated. It is too precious!

The most common ways that dream interpretation helps everyone in their daily lives is through:

- Predictions and warnings

- Advice and counselling

- Suggestions and new ideas

- Lessons and explanations

- Spiritual evolution and mind development

You may find many other ways to apply this precious knowledge to your daily life of course, because it is infinite and true.

If you are an artist, dream interpretation will give you inspiration; if you are a marketer, it will show you how to organize your business; if you have a physical pain it will give you relief and health; if you are in a strange situation it will give you information and light.

If you have never cared about your dreams before and you think that you don't have enough time to write down all your dreams, start writing at least the most impressive ones.

You don't need too much. A very simple short dream can show you something you couldn't find alone, and help you save time, money, and much effort looking for a solution.

A unique dream symbol can help you understand what you have to pay attention to in your life, so that you may solve your basic problems.

Start writing down the dreams you remember when you have the time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week one of my students sent me three dreams and her translations, because she had a certain problem. She only wanted me to confirm that the translations were correct, and they were. It's interesting to talk with people who know the dream language!

She told me that she knew that she would find the solution, because of the rain she had seen in a dream, and I felt that she really would find it, since she was understanding the unconscious' messages.

I didn't help her much, because she was already being helped by knowing how to translate her dreams alone, and she was on the right path, finding by herself the solution she needed to.

When you are able to immediately translate the meaning of dreams, you understand directly the wise guidance of the unconscious mind, a real genius who knows everything.

The privilege of being able to immediately translate the meaning of the dream language is given to you today only because I continued the complicated and dangerous research Jung began in the human psyche, through dream interpretation.]]></description>

Nondual wisdom reveals that our unborn nature is the source and substance of all that is born into finite reality. All of our experience is an expression of this nature, a primordial awareness that accepts all forms of its expression, no matter how pleasurable or painful. This awareness is unconditional love as it equally accepts the most sublime ecstasy and one of the most painful of all human experience, trauma.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many different civilizations, which belonged to different historical times, have proclaimed that our dreams have a very important meaning, besides metaphysical dimensions.

However, nothing was clear, and there was no theory that could be considered to be the absolute truth about the meaning of dreams.

As a matter of fact, if we want to understand what means dream interpretation really according to the scientific method, which is the only correct one, we have to first of all forget all the known theories about the meaning of dreams, because they are all false. There is no base for their arguments. They don't prove anything, and they don't explain anything.

They are merely personal opinions of the dream interpreters, who may be based on scientific knowledge, however are not based on serious research.

A scientific research is based on the comparison of facts and reactions, on the reproduction of a certain effect due to the comprehension of its mechanism, and on many other objective proofs of the value of the discoveries made thanks to this study.

The scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by the psychiatrist Carl Jung and simplified by me, who continued his research discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, is the only method that deeply analyzes the dream language, which is made with images instead of words.

The real translation of the meaning of dreams is given through the translation of the symbolism contained in the dream messages, according to the logic and to the particular definitions given to the dream symbols by the unconscious mind that produces our dreams, and is therefore, the dream author.

He, the author, must give us the meaning of his own language, so that we may understand his words.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You'll manage to coax someone to trust you if you follow a few basic behavioral rules. In order to do so, you have to study behavioral psychology, or behaviorism.

You can learn even more, if you learn what exists inside the human psyche thanks to the vision given to you due to the results of long researches conducted inside the human brain through scientific dream interpretation.

This way you'll understand why the human being has certain reactions, and therefore, how to provoke, or avoid them.

If you are imagining that you'll be able to manipulate other people and oblige them to do what you want, you have to understand that this is not what you should desire first of all, and secondly, you have to understand that you are too ignorant to know what will be good for you and for other people, which means that you cannot decide what you should coax them to do based on your opinion.

It doesn't matter if you are only trying to sell your products. You have to understand behavioral psychology if you want to coax someone in a way that will be positive for them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do I start? It's gonna be difficult to write this post in a way that everyone can ready it and at the same time don't commit heresy by not being rigorous and awaken the wrath of my colleagues.

Also, I don't want to get into the "politics" of Freudian Psychoanalysis and the "war" it's into against other branches of Psychology such as cognitive sciences. The point I'm trying to prove is that Freudian Psychoanalysis and the people who study and has studied it (including me) have some points and miss some others.

I think Freud was dead right regarding the dynamics of the unconscious mind (the existence of unconscious processes is not arguable). (mental note: avoid being technical) Once you understand the theory and articulate it, you can trace behaviors back to its' elemental state.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The meaning of your dreams is very important, and you should learn how to translate them according to the scientific method, so that you may understand the unconscious' messages.

When you are falling in a dream, this means that you'll have sad deceptions, which will make you feel totally lost. This is a very serious warning that must be respected, because it will save you from bad consequences, and help you find psychical balance.

You usually see unpleasant dreams because their function is protective. The unconscious mind that produces them works like a natural doctor who has a very important mission: save the human side of your conscience from the craziness contained in your wild side (anti-conscience).

A wild animal is cruel, and indifferent to the suffering it may provoke to other animals, while you should always show compassion to other human beings.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mental illnesses are sneaky diseases that don&#180;t appear on in the conscious surface and that are not apparent immediately in the patients&#180;environment. However, various behavioral abnormalities gradually take off their mask of "normal person", reflecting their neurosis, psychosis, schizophrenia or similar mental illness.

If you want to understand whether someone is mentally ill before waiting for various facts that will reflect psychological abnormalities in order to verify who they really are, you have to learn how to analyze the human behavior and observe the signs that indicate lack of balance, and absurdity.

This is very important, because you may trust a schizophrenic without knowing what you are doing, and decide to get married to a person that will only torture you, or have a negotiation with someone who is totally absurd and will ruin your business, but may mislead you with false impressions of sensibility and honesty.

There is a very big danger concerning business relationships with people you don&#180;t really know, especially because mentally ill patients never show signs of abnormality in their work, but only in the moments when they are alone, or when they are with their family, and so on. So, it&#180;s harder to discover signs of schizophrenia in a business partner than to perceive them in a future husband or wife, for example.

However, the bitter truth is that if you are not well informed, you will never be able to perceive important signs of abnormal behavior in a certain person, even if you are near them for many hours, because they can hide their absurdity from your eyes very easily.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The meaning of dreams has been pursued by many people in the story of mankind, from ancient times. Only at the end of the last century though, did the psychiatrist Carl Jung discover the real meaning of the enigmatic dream language, proving to the world that our dreams work like psychotherapy. However, his work was too complicated; only a few people could understand it and precisely follow it, while many people who didn't have the patience to study it enough, have distorted his words.

Besides that, he had many enemies that didn't want to admit that he was right, since this would mean that their theories were wrong...

This is why until today the real value of his discoveries was not recognized by humanity.

Continuing his research, I was able to prove that he was right and discover much more, being able to give you clearer definitions about the meaning of dreams, and help you immediately translate all dream messages, without delaying as much as you do when you follow Jung's method.

This means that now dream interpretation has become a very powerful tool!

Your dreams won't be mysterious images and scenes that make no sense to you, but specific messages that have a very important meaning, because they give you real and objective information about the world where you are, about other people and about the content of your psyche.

For example, you may see a spider in a dream.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The dream language is based on symbols. A symbol is an image that gives you an idea about something else. This is why in a dream an apple, for example, doesn't represent a fruit, but wisdom, since this is the symbolic meaning which is connected with its image.

The connection of this meaning with the image of an apple was formed in the unconscious mind that produces dreams, and also gives us religious, artistic and philosophical inclinations.

When you learn how to translate the meaning of your dreams into sentences that you can understand, you discover that a simple image gives you information about many things, because a symbol represents a huge content.

When you think about the apple as a fruit, a singular object that has an ephemeral existence, and you compare it with wisdom, which is a superior and complex capacity to judge reality after analyzing all its details, you understand the dimension that the apple acquires when it has this symbolic meaning.

Now, you may be thinking that wisdom can simply be defined by only one word; however there are dream symbols that have a complex definition, like the meaning of the snake.

The snake represents a bad event that will correct a serious mistake and work like medicine for the dreamer, besides all the painful situations that he or she will have to face.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Personality is a collection of characteristics that defines the person's behavior, and gives them an aspect. It is the way someone reacts before the stimuli of their environment, their personal answer to all challenges of life, their personal way to think, feel, guess and sense everything.

It is also the way they express what they are thinking or feeling. Personality is the image that defines an individual's specific behavior, giving a certain meaning to their presence, and to their actions.

Most people don't have a strong personality, because they simply follow the behavior patterns they have inherited as human beings, and the general conceptions of life that belong to the mindset of their time and civilization.

However, everyone has certain peculiar characteristics, which they have inherited depending on their psychological type.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dream interpretation according to the scientific method is an independent science based on the wisdom of the unconscious mind, who teaches you how your brain works, and how your behavior is affected by your animal instincts, besides showing you how to overcome all your absurd tendencies and evolve.

Dream interpretation is a surgical operation inside your psyche. You see your entire psychical content, going back to the past and analyzing all your traumas, misconceptions and mistakes.

With the guidance of the unconscious mind that produces your dreams, you are able to understand why you act the way you do, and how to correct your mistakes.

You can also learn everything about the psychical content of other people by interpreting their dreams with the scientific method.

This means that you don't need any other doctor besides the unconscious mind, and that dream interpretation according to the scientific method is really a totally independent science.

The psychology of the unconscious mind, based on the development of your intelligence, is the best existent one. Besides healing your psyche and helping you become wiser, it transforms you into a doctor for other people too.

You can cure their psychical and even physical problems by translating their dreams for them and helping them solve their problems with this knowledge.

If you want to understand why someone shows absurd behavior you can have information about them in your own dreams.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The most important power you acquire once you learn how to translate the meaning of your dreams according to the scientific method is that you can predict the future, and change the future development of reality to your advantage.

Or should I say that the most important power you've got is that you have mental health for life? Mental health is a very rare and precious treasure that most people never find, and those who have it usually lose it with time, and all the deceptions of life.

The scientific method of dream interpretation gives you a protection that lasts for all your life, because it not only cures your psyche and even your physical diseases, but it also guarantees that you'll keep your mental health forever.

Translating your dreams you are going to eliminate the poisonous influence of your wild side into your human conscience. In other words: you'll eliminate the roots of absurdity from your mind, which means that this danger will never again threaten you. You'll have many powers once you dominate the dream language and you are in constant communication with the wise unconscious mind that produces your dreams, especially because you have very clear information about the person you love.

		<description><![CDATA[The most important power you acquire once you learn how to translate the meaning of your dreams according to the scientific method is that you can predict the future, and change the future development of reality to your advantage.

Or should I say that the most important power you've got is that you have mental health for life? Mental health is a very rare and precious treasure that most people never find, and those who have it usually lose it with time, and all the deceptions of life.

The scientific method of dream interpretation gives you a protection that lasts for all your life, because it not only cures your psyche and even your physical diseases, but it also guarantees that you'll keep your mental health forever.

Translating your dreams you are going to eliminate the poisonous influence of your wild side into your human conscience. In other words: you'll eliminate the roots of absurdity from your mind, which means that this danger will never again threaten you. You'll have many powers once you dominate the dream language and you are in constant communication with the wise unconscious mind that produces your dreams, especially because you have very clear information about the person you love.

Dreams concerning your relationship or flirt are very easy to be translated, and will show you insights of the desired person's life that you could never learn otherwise, besides clearly describing you their personality.

You'll have the power to easily understand what to do in order to be admired by them, and conquer their heart.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The materialistic world despises the meaning of dreams, while psychologists and psychiatrists disagree one with the other.

I was a neurotic artist who had a great literary talent, but who had abandoned literature, when I understood that I was neurotic, and I started seriously caring about the meaning of my dreams, in search of psychotherapy.

I always had the fear of becoming schizophrenic like my father. I wanted to prevent this tragic end, and I was right, because there was too much absurdity in my anti-conscience (the wild side of the human conscience).

The first time I cared about the meaning of dreams was in 1979, when I read Freud's book about dream interpretation loaning it from Pacific Beach's Library. I had seen a very strange dream before travelling to California.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've all come across people who just seem incapable of modifying their perspective based on new data being presented. Most of us still mouth the words that additional education (or indoctrination/propaganda as is often the case) is what is needed since surely this person will turn around if his/her consciousness is sufficiently expanded with additional data backing your perspective. However, all too often deep inside we know that some people are "hopeless".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The year is 2009 and it has been over a century since popular consciousness has widely accepted the fact that humans are just another type of animal. Curiously, even as humans are increasingly accepting of political and cultural pluralism, there is still insufficient focus on how pluralism in general arises from differences in breeds of humans. Populous mammals like dogs and cats have a number of breeds that cluster by physiological external differences like size and internal neural differences like aggressiveness, friendliness, and task specialization.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bullying Prevention, Climate and Culture

The purpose of this article is to show how bullying and other antisocial behaviors at school are preventable by looking at school culture and climate.

There are quite a variety of classroom and school-wide "stop bullying" programs and materials. These programs are useful for raising awareness and providing new skills for students, yet many ignore deeper, necessary improvements to actually prevent antisocial behaviors at school.

The goal of this article is to go a little deeper and look at some fine tuning of school climate and culture as a means to lasting change.

What is School Culture?

School culture is a model or a mindset by which actions are taken in the district, building or classroom. This model of action is based on the past experiences within the district.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm in the midst of reading a fascinating book by Philip Alcabes. The very title, "Dread: How Fear and Fantasy Have Fueled Epidemics from the Black Death to Avian Flu" gives me fodder for at least one article without even reading the book.

There is so much fuel for thought in this book, that you will have the opportunity to read several articles as my mental juices are stimulated.

As a Mind-Body Psychotherapist I work with the concept and the emotion of fear. From the lowest level of anxiety to full blown panic, this emotion can cause the heart to race and one to shudder in anticipation of the possible event that one's life feels out of control.

Decisions made when in a state of fright are not, by their very nature, rational.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have heard about neurofeedback therapy and what it can do to help solve problems related to brain function, such as ADHD, or 'attention deficit hyperactivity disorder', epilepsy, anxiety, or any other issue you are dealing with, you may have heard the suggestion that you do a brain mapping session before you start neurofeedback treatment. There are a few reasons you might want to consider a brain mapping, or Quantitative EEG session.

Quantitative EEG uses the same type of equipment that is used for neurofeedback sessions. The QEEG device will simply read your brain's signals to gather information about how your brain is working.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Specific mental cases demand the use of powerful medications but I am also convinced some of these problems could be dealt without the use of dangerous drugs. It is a known fact that a constant flow of poisonous thoughts (guilt/fear/anger etc.) can only lead to deep depressions and if left unchecked with time opens the door to a multitude of serious mental problems. As much as we are all vulnerable at any given time to experience an accident an "educated" person may be reluctant to accept that, we are all also subject to suffer "spiritual attacks" "psychic Accidents" and/or induced vicious curses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here's a short primer on Cognitive and Behavioral Learning Theories

Behavioral learning theories suggest that learning results from pleasant or unpleasant experiences in life while cognitive theories of learning suggest that learning is based upon mental processes. However, in an admonishment against being too closely guided by any one set of pedagogical principles, Johnson (2003) suggests that a fixation with process oriented educational theories among those in the politics of education has not served the education community well by aligning practitioners into separate camps.

A behavioral view in psychology has held that exploratory analysis of cognition must begin with an examination of human behavior (William &#038; Beyers, 2001). Behavioral theory has benefited from the work of early researchers such as Pavlov, Thorndike, and later on the work of B.F.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people doubt that it is really possible to exactly translate a dream, asking me if the interpretation of their dreams could be different, without wanting to believe that there is only one specific way to exactly translate the dream messages, because most people are used to subjective interpretations, where the dream interpreter simply gives them his or her opinion about what their dreams could mean.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung was the only one who discovered the right code for a perfect dream translation, by discovering the dream logic, according to which the dream symbols have a different meaning for the unconscious mind that produces our dreams, than for our conscious mind.

In order to discover the hidden meaning of the dream language he had to compare too many dreams of many patients who suffered from grave mental illnesses with dreams of normal people, and with art and religious symbols of the entire humanity in all historical times, besides analyzing the symbolism used by the alchemists in the Middle Ages.

He was afraid to continue his research into the unknown region of the human psyche through dream interpretation, since he had discovered without a doubt that there was craziness in the human mind, which was already inherited, and this is why he had to accept ignorance from a certain point and on.

I had to continue his research in order to find solutions for problems that he could not solve, and this is why I could understand much better the meaning of the dream language, discovering the meaning of many more symbols.

This is the meaning given to them by the wise unconscious mind that produces our dreams; it is therefore a real translation of the meaning that the dream author gives to the images and scenes that appear in your dreams, into words and sentences that your conscience can understand; it is not a supposition.

The dream interpreters that give you their opinion about the meaning of your dreams may seem to understand what the confused dream images could mean, because they use their imagination, and historical knowledge about the meaning of symbols for a few civilizations (which is not however the meaning given to the dream symbols by the unconscious mind), besides their intuition.

Many times their words are very beautiful and you'll prefer to believe that they have really deciphered the meaning of your dreams, however you must know that usually their real meaning is not pleasant like the impostors present to you, in order to make you desire to believe that they are right.

The basic function of the dream messages is to help you fight against the attacks of the wild and primitive side of your conscience that didn't evolve like your human side.

They have a protective character: they try opening your eyes, showing you your mistakes, and all the dangers you are not considering when judging reality.

This is why you usually see many dreams with dangerous scenes and unpleasant images. The exact translation of their meaning will not be pleasant either, because the unconscious mind is sending you warnings in order to prevent you from doing what will be bad for you.

You may not want to understand that you are making a silly mistake in a certain point of your life, but you'll certainly like very much to correct it, and avoid all the sad consequences you would have if you didn't have a dream warning showing it to you!.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many years, modern medicine has placed an emphasis on the use of medications to treat almost every ailment, including those involving the brain and nervous system. In more recent years, however, many of the medications we were taught to believe were safe have been found to have serious, sometimes long-term side effects. This has led many people to seek out alternatives to prescription medication for many medical conditions.

New Ideas and Therapies

One of the most exciting developments in modern medicine has been the use of neurofeedback, or brain biofeedback, techniques to help address a large variety of conditions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much news coverage has been given lately to an amazing scientific breakthrough called neurofeedback that can treat many disorders related to brain function, including ADHD, depression, eating disorders, and several others. If you have been wondering if neurofeedback therapy can help you, there are a few factors you will want to weigh when considering this treatment.

First, it is a very safe procedure. Neurofeedback is completely non-invasive, and most people who have been through the therapy say that it is comfortable and even enjoyable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, or if you suffer from chronic fatigue or chronic pain, which often come together, you probably know how frustrating it is when doctors, friends, and family members don't believe that your pain is real, or that there is anything wrong with you. Perhaps you wake up in so much pain each morning that it's all you can do to move, or maybe you simply cannot stir up the energy to get through the day, no matter how much sleep you get or how healthy your lifestyle is in general. It may not seem like it to you, but these symptoms actually do originate in your brain.

Before you stomp off annoyed at this assessment, read on.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reactive Attachment Disorder arises from a failure to form normal attachments to primary caregivers in early childhood. For some children it occurs when they do not receive the love and affection that every infant needs. Studies have shown that in order for the part of a child's brain that is responsible for regulating affection to develop normally, 'entrainment' between the mother and infant's brain must occur during the child's first 18 months of life.

Brain waves in mother and child very often come into harmony with the brain waves of the other; they are in sync, if you will.]]></description>

Depending on your UCI *Unique Celestial Identity, you will have only a few seconds to recall your latest dream, while if you inherited a Mercury *the Mind, in Pisces *dreams, chance are you will dream in color and enjoy every minutes of your second busy dreamy life.

Dreams have a lot to offer, again that is if you can differentiate the different meanings and state. We are all at our deepest state when REM *Rapid Eye Movement takes place.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recurring dreams indicate danger because they are trying to remind you of a certain obligation, which you are postponing. It is always related to your behavior, because you live in order to be transformed, so that you may be able to live peacefully and happily.

So, you are not doing something very important that you must do; something concerning the way you behave in life, which is indispensable for your own safety, besides being indispensable for your human evolution.

You could be too immature, and see repetitive dreams about your lack of seriousness and maturity, which is quite common.

If you don't pay attention to this problem, and if you don't solve it as you should, it may become a mental illness in the future, because if you are immature you constantly make mistakes with your relationships, and you are too naive, which means that you are nearer absurdity than sensibility.

People that see recurring dreams without trying to understand their meaning, and solve their problems, have very tragic biographies, exactly because they keep doing something very wrong, or not doing something very important that they should do indispensably.

Recurring dreams are very important warnings that try to wake you up. You see them repeatedly until you'll finally do what you have to, or stop making the same mistakes without understanding what you are doing.

The wise unconscious mind will show you in details everything that you have to do in order to transform your personality so that you may behave properly, instead of avoiding your obligations, or repeating old mistakes.

You only have to learn how to translate your dreams according to the scientific method of dream interpretation that exactly translates their meaning.

You'll verify the superiority of the scientific translation, because you'll see that the messages of the unconscious mind contain precious knowledge about you and your life that only you know.

You'll never again see a repetitive dream if you follow the free and safe psychotherapy of the unconscious mind in your dreams regularly, since you'll be always aware of what you should do on each occasion, without ignoring your obligations, and all the dangers that threaten your peace of mind.

The unconscious mind will show you gradually everything that exists inside you, what determines your behavior, what should be corrected, improved or eliminated in your personality, how you can develop all your capacities, how you can improve your memory and remember all the details of your dreams besides everything else, and how you can become more intelligent and sensitive.

Once you pay attention to the meaning of your dreams, you'll stop being threatened by invisible dangers like now, because you'll be always protected by the unconscious wisdom..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Source of All Good Healing

Psychology and fundamentalism at best have been polite opponents. In recent history, say the last 50 years, this opposition has become vigorous and often less than polite. Many churches, such as Calvary, completely eschew all mental health practitioners (whether social workers, psychiatrists or counselors) and staunchly maintain that all healing comes directly from God or prayer and that all you need in order to develop and maintain a robust mental health may be found in Scripture or a prayer session.

This rejection of psychotherapy may have been a reaction to the "I'm okay, you're okay" generation of therapists who did very little for most people except to allay the anxieties of narcissists and sociopaths by telling them "if it feels good, it is good." In the eyes of both Orthodox Jews and Christians, the field of humanistic psychology took the whole program of self-improvement one giant step too far, putting man in the center of the universe, particularly his own.

Their objections were not wrong.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract:

What does your patient (client) expect from you? Their life is in turmoil, problems ascend from the sky and land squarely at their feet and they need answers. The danger here for therapists is to become everything for that person, father figure, sexual object, confessor, adviser and most of all the only person who has ever really listened to them and understood! In this paper we will explore the dangers to both therapists and to clients when both parties start to see the therapist as a God - the know all - see all - understand all, a being who will magically whisk away all those terrible feelings and leave a well-adjusted happy person behind.

Introduction:

From the time therapists began in the early 19th century patients have idolised their doctors as someone special amongst all the people they know, whether that be male or female it does not matter but the relationship structure of the powerless under the spell of the powerful. Freud and others recognised that patients often transfer their needy emotions to the therapist (counsellor) in the form of a love object.]]></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>

This definition contains important features of secrets:

		<description><![CDATA[You have to care about your dreams if you want to remember them. Before sleeping think about dreaming, and tell yourself that you have to remember your dreams because they are very important, trying to fix them in your conscious memory as soon as you wake up, without thinking about anything else.

You can keep your dreams in a file on your computer, which will help you be more organized, especially if you have a laptop that you can easily use at any time, but I advise you to first of all write down your dreams in a notebook that you keep near your bed, without depending on your computer.

Make notes by abbreviating all words, so that you can write quickly, before forgetting the details of your dreams. The details escape from your memory as time passes, and this is why it is important to quickly fix them in your memory when you wake up, and write them down the soonest possible.

If you cannot care about your dreams when you wake up because you usually are already too late, and you have to run to go to work or to another obligation, I advise you try going to sleep earlier, so that you may have enough time to see many dreams, and so that you may have a clear mind when you wake up, which will help you remember your dreams very well.

It would be better if you go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier too, so that you may have a few minutes at your disposal to care about your dreams.

But if you really don't have any chance to write down your dreams as soon as you wake up, never mind, because the unconscious mind is very generous, and sends you the same messages in many dreams, showing you different aspects of the same reality in each dream.

Write down whatever you remember of your dreams, and you'll see that only by writing down a few details, you'll remember more easily your next dreams, besides being able to more easily understand their meaning.]]></description>

The method was developed by University of Washington psychological researcher Marsha M. Linehan and she has experienced considerable success whenever implementing her plan of therapy.

Those with BPD have an extremely difficult time coping with any crises that may occur in their lives and they are also highly emotionally unstable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the 1950s, Professor Jensen - a leading authority on intelligence - concluded that nothing could be done to improve our IQ level - that it was fixed from early childhood. This was the scientific consensus. Numerous studies investigating the effect of different types of cognitive training over the past 40 years have not done much to change this view - that is, until 2008 when a team of cognitive psychologists from Bern, Switzerland and Michigan, United States, demonstrated that a very specific type of cognitive training can improve IQ dramatically.

Why has it taken 40 years to discover how to improve IQ?

It is only thanks to recent insights from cognitive psychology about the nature of short term memory and its importance in cognitive functioning have at last enabled a training exercise to be engineered that improves IQ.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you are walking in a dream this means that you are looking for the hidden truth that exists inside your psyche. This dream scene has a positive meaning, because you are taking action, and looking for the reasons of your depression, or you are looking for the meaning of your life.

If you care about the interpretation of your dreams according to the scientific method, which exactly deciphers for you the messages of the wise unconscious mind that produces them, you'll make a trip inside your psyche and discover many things you totally ignore. You'll see then many dreams where you'll be always walking, because you will be making a long trip inside yourself.

In the beginning of your occupation with the meaning of your dreams, walking reflects your first positive attitude after understanding the necessity to do something in order to solve your problems, instead of passively suffering without doing anything.

You may be walking in a dream because you are going to discover many things about other people and the world where you live, besides learning what exactly exists in your brain and determines your behavior.

Walking has in fact the meaning of "discovering".]]></description>

In this article we will explore a case study as seen in a Chinese mental health clinic in Shanghai. The presenting case will look at the effects of China's one-child-policy but in particular the strategies employed by parents to control children not living up to their expectations at an early age. We will also consider parental guidance in line with established treatment covering behaviourism and transactional analysis methodology.

Introduction:

In China in order to control a rising population and the threat of economic and social crisis the government of China regulate birth rates across the country.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dream symbols are images that represent a huge content and that can have many different meanings at the same time.

When you see dreams with birds, this means that you are going to learn news. The news will be good or bad, depending on the bird that you see in your dream. If it is a peaceful and beautiful bird like a canary, the news you'll have will be very pleasant, while if a wild and dangerous bird appears in your dream, this means that the news it brings will be bad and dangerous like it.

White birds represent peace, especially a white dove.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Through psychotherapy you look for the psychological reasons hidden under all your emotional and social problems, so that you may understand what is provoking certain reactions and feelings, and cure your internal wounds by adopting a different attitude; you understand why you behave the way you do, and how you must behave after discovering your mistakes, false impressions and traumas, so that you may overcome your difficulties.

There are many types of psychotherapy, though.

You don't know which one is the best for you before trying, and on the other hand, you cannot try all methods...

You must be able to immediately find the best one, instead of wasting your time looking for the perfect method of psychotherapy according to your opinion, which may be very far from what you need, because you ignore how each specific method works. How will the psychological reasons hidden under your emotional problems be found?

You may waste your time and money, and at the end feel even worse than before, without overcoming anything.

This is why you must directly find the method of psychotherapy that will work for you without a doubt, because it works for everyone without exceptions. This method exists, and it is the scientific method of dream interpretation, which accurately translates the meaning of the messages contained in your dreams.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract:

In recent years psychology has tried to uplift the human spirit with lots of popular psychology terms such as, "Positive Psychology" or the numerous books released to tell the masses how to behave to lead a fulfilled successful life from talking about parachutes, ten steps to something, the mired of "how to" titles and much more. Most are nothing but misguided pop psych or a fad of the moment. Can life be as easy as reading the right book and following some basic concepts and everything is going to be OK for you and me? This paper is different, we shall explore the "Dark" side of the human mind - that part that sees disengagement, destruction, vile acts as part of the everyday human psyche that emerges in us all from time to time - that part that finds excitement, glee and pleasure in the dysfunctional part of our existence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All nightmares are serious warnings for the dreamer. They are so unpleasant that many times the dreamer tries to avoid sleeping in order to stop seeing them, but their importance is crucial for his or her safety.

Nightmares reflect real dangers existent in the human brain and psyche as well as in the outside world.

They have the general meaning of an alarm, working like all alarms that try to protect you when someone is trying to steal your store or your car. They try to protect you from losing your mental health first of all, and many times, from losing other things that belong to your daily life.

As an example of a very important nightmare I can mention the case of a dreamer who participated in my summer offer of free professional dream translation in 2008.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our morally relaxed society of live and let live, it is difficult to understand why a man would be bent on destroying a plane full of "innocent" people with explosive laden underwear. The phenomenon of fundamentalist Muslim terrorist suicide bombers is best explained psycho-sexually.

Sexual fulfillment is a powerful desire in human men. You only have to look at the sexual scandals of our greatest sports figures, politicians, and reality stars to see examples of this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today dream interpretation is simply a translation from images into words. I managed to prove, with many examples from many internet users from different countries, that only the scientific method discovered by Carl Jung and simplified by me, who continued his research, is absolutely correct, and really helps you solve all your problems.

Many people pretend to be able to discover the meaning of dreams, however only the long research of Jung, and my long research after his, could bring you the right translation. We translate for you the message of the unconscious mind that produces your dreams without interfering in it, while other dream interpreters simply give you their personal opinion...

This is something you are able to verify by yourself, since your dreams talk about your personality and your life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In addressing the history of counseling we want to divide the subject into two sections, secular and Christian.

Secular. The history of counseling had its origins, first in religion, later in philosophy, and later still in medicine. Religion and philosophy asked many of the same questions: "Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here?" Medicine on the other hand tends to ask the question "Are you covered by insurance?" From time to time, the members of a community would suffer from the vicissitudes of life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If your public service involves interviewing surviving victims of or eyewitnesses to violent events, you will want to learn more about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the Witness Memory Retrieval Technique and how each can impact your investigation.

Research proves there are two distinct human processes that prevent investigators and police personnel from conducting the most effective investigation when working with surviving victims of and eyewitnesses to violent crimes. Those processes have been identified as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Memory Retrieval (Recall).

What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and how does it impact the Witness Memory Retrieval process?

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a reaction to a violent event that evokes intense fear, terror and helplessness. Many surviving victims of violent crimes...rape, robbery, murder, kidnapping, terrorism, sexual abuse and physical assault, for example, are unable to recognize the signs of emotional stress they are experiencing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your dreams must be translated according to the scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung and simplified by me, who continued his research, so that you may verify by yourself that this translation is accurate and you are really able to understand the wise messages of the unconscious mind with it. You'll see that these messages contain details about your past and about your thoughts and feelings that only you know.

You'll see that you start having a communication with the unconscious mind as soon as you learn how to translate your dreams, because the unconscious mind will answer all your questions in your own dreams, besides showing you many very interesting things about your behavior and your life.

The unconscious mind will show you the content existent in the wild side of your conscience, and teach you how to tame it and transform it into a positive part of your human conscience.

This means that your wild instincts will acquire a wise aspect that will help you judge the external reality much better, and understand more about your internal world.

The scientific translation is the result of long research and many comparisons. You are lucky because today you have the brief result of such complicated study, in a very clear form.

First of all, you'll see that by following the scientific method, you'll learn many things about the functionalism of your brain and psyche.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT is a psychotherapeutic approach used by therapists to help to promote positive change in people by addressing their thought patterns, feelings and behavioural issues. Difficulties with irrational thinking, dysfunctional thoughts and faulty learning are identified and then treated using CBT. Therapy can be conducted with individuals, groups or families and the goals of CBT are to restructure one's thoughts, perceptions and responses which facilitate changes in behaviours.

The earliest form of CBT was developed by an American Psychologist, Albert Ellis (1913-2007) in 1955, naming his approach Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT).]]></description>

In our conventional wisdom it is regarded far less as an emotion, and far more as a sure sign of danger that justifies instant escape, dissolving our awareness of the fear by discharging its energy in action, one form of dissociation. Another is to regard a feeling as a fact that is equivalent to reality.]]></description>

It was presence and gradualism of torture that was one of the factors that made most witches convinced in being possessed by evil spirits. Hence, witch-hunters could get more confidence, when witnessing how "witches" exposed their "real nature" and admitted being possessed.]]></description>

He asked me to refrain from using it in my psychotherapy work with my contract patients in the agency he founded. For lack of time, I assured him that I would honor his wishes, but quickly pointed out to him that the use of hypnosis (whether it was formal trance or Verbal First Aid, which is the use of words to facilitate healing in acute situations, such as accidents or shock) was no different than the use of a knife. In the hands of a good surgeon, it could be a life-saver.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My recent research on Freud's theory of mind control shocked me, the techniques that are now used by advertising agencies, politicians and public relations for over 100 years to inject fear and pleasure as a psychological drug to create slave employees, increase massive traffic of consumerism in the world of so called democracy.

Mass Media Brain Washing Techniques

The Freudian theory about the unconscious mind, and the hidden starving zombie inside each of us, can be activated by repetition display of advertising, to drill the unconscious mind, the giant zombie within, currently known as 'the genius within the consequences of both self help programming or media control programming depend on the kind of hot syntax and imagery used to unleash the genius, or if you are exposed to advertising propaganda and public relations programming, you don't unleash your genius within, you submit your genius, your creativity, your intelligence to those in power.

Intelligence Bankruptcy

So, mind control agencies use similar and carefully crafted pieces of Freudian theory for specific function that benefit the governments, the military, insurance companies, and world banks. If the psychology of repetition is used to advance the evolution of mankind, so be it, because, the techniques are not all that bad, and it has many beneficial advantages. However, because the 97% of the world population are not even using 1% of their psychology to get the edge, the power is left to the rich and powerful to control the masses.

Inside each of us lie the hidden irrational forces of fear, or pain and pleasure.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fear is by far the most misunderstood emotion. In our conventional wisdom it is regarded far less as an emotion, and far more as a sure sign of danger that justifies instant escape, dissolving our awareness of the fear by discharging its energy in action, one form of dissociation. Another is to regard a feeling as a fact that is equivalent to reality.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether people would like to admit it or not, almost everyone exhibits some kind of behavior that can be classified as prejudice. While some might take offense to this statement, a loose definition of the word prejudice is the negative judgment of a group or its individual members. An example of this is if a person sees a group of younger, rowdier looking kids on a bus, one might be inclined to think that they might make your ride a little less enjoyable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you see dreams in which you are living in your past house, wearing old clothes, or being much younger, this means that you are repeating the (usually wrong) behavior you had in the past.

Your dreams have a specific meaning, which you'll be able to verify in practice once you learn the scientific method of dream interpretation, discovered by Carl Jung and simplified by me, who continued his research, discovering more and proving that he really discovered the right code for a perfect dream translation.

I turned his complicated method of dream interpretation into a very simple and clear method of fast dream translation that even a child can learn. The dream language is like any other language made only by words. The difference is that instead of speaking through words, the wise unconscious mind speaks through images and scenes.

You'll observe that the unconscious mind is your protector and sends you many warnings when you are wrong, when you are making mistakes, and when you cannot see what is happening to you.

If you are living in a past situation in your dream, this means that you are still attached to your personality as it used to be when you were living the past situation you see yourself in.

This is not a good sign, unless you used to be wiser when you were younger, which is not probable.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever been amazed by the fact that although most of us followed the same standards when learning to write or probably attended the same institute; why can none of us write in exactly the same way as others does? Why does our handwriting differ so much from each other? Why are they so unique? When asked this question you will be tempted to promptly answer, "This is my style of writing!!" As I can say your answer is partially true. Do you know what shapes your style of writing? Well, it's your personality. This very simple logic forms the basis of the science of 'Handwriting Analysis'.]]></description>

We do what the therapist says we think we have cleared ourselves we take the potions, guaranteed to heal us and maybe we feel better for a short while, only to have the malady recur and we feel bad again. What in us causes this to happen?

The culprits are monsters in the subconscious mind called Forcing Functions. These generators keep adding energy to the systems within us that are making us feel bad.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From two Greek words: psyche, which means the mind or the soul and logos, which means study, the science of Psychology has been studied and defined by many people throughout the ages. Hilgard, Morgan, Silverman, and Schlesinger are just a few. A careful analysis of their foregoing definitions of psychology reveals common points: Psychology is the scientific study of the behaviors of living organisms; the term behavior must not be solely attributed to man's physical reactions and observable behavior; and thoughts, feelings, and attitudes are also connected to the term behavior.

The primary goals of Psychology are mainly to describe, identify, understand and explain behavior, to know its factors, and to control or change behavior.]]></description>

Abnormal behavior has many definitions, but in most cases a combination of these criteria defines abnormality. Historically, it has been shown that people with abnormal behavior disorders can be very creative, making contributions to science, mathematics, arts, sports, and politics.]]></description>

Those patterns of on/off are stored in our brain and compared to previously inputed patterns for comparison and storage as neurons.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My hope to live life in the light of optimism rather than one in pessimistic darkness was advanced by the work of Martin Seligman, a world renowned authority on depression and abnormal psychology. I became aware of him in 1999 as I prepared my master's thesis. His early book Learned Optimism was a catalyst that provided me with deep insight into positive ways of thinking and being.

Seligman's efforts are aimed to help us gain insight and to understand the why's of our chaotic condition.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Time - An Oxymoron or A Paradox?

A paradox is a statement or group of statements that leads to a contradiction or a situation which defies intuition.

The word paradox is often used interchangeably with contradiction. Often, mistakenly, it is used to describe situations that are ironic.

In literature, the paradox is an anomalous juxtaposition of incongruous ideas for the sake of striking exposition or unexpected insight....

An oxymoron (plural oxymora (greek plural) or, more often, oxymorons) ("sharply dull" in Greek) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. (include bittersweet, virtual reality, and living dead).]]></description>

Most of the times, terror issues can meddle with the working of everyday life, creating disturbances in the office, within friendships, and throughout the humane experience.

Dreams can be interpreted from who did you see in the dreams, what did you do in the dreams or even where did you stay in your dreams, but do not miss out the one thing that you can use to interpret you dreams, that is the colors. When you try to find ways to give your dreams some kind of explanations, you can probably find many different interpretations.]]></description>

This article is intended to clarify in layman's terms what psychologists and brain scientists can mean by intelligence.

		<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[The topic of healthy psychology is very much directly linked to your self-esteem, because the way that you portray your level esteem and confidence to the world is through an external reflection of your inner acceptance and worth. Your psychology determines what states these are in and has a tendency to unconsciously guide your thoughts unless you intervene and consciously control your thoughts and feelings to higher ground than they may to by default, by an accumulation of gathered emotional and physical trauma.

When you do nothing to take control and guide your psychology to find and focus on everything beautiful and wonderful in your life it will naturally hone in on every negative memory you have ever had. Human beings have a tendency to focus always on what's wrong, how things would be better if, blame, shame, punish, self-destruct, grudge-holding, and on and on.]]></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[The act of roleplaying is one which goes far beyond games of dungeons and dragons, or the more modern online video game incarnations. It is something that everyone engaged in as a child. It is the act of make believe, of pretending that you are somebody else, and imagining that character and that world, imposing its presence on the reality of the world around you.

This is done naturally by children, who play at being princesses, or soldiers, or doctors, or even just mommies and daddies caring for their dolls.]]></description>

The concept of death is more intriguing than the concept of life and even if we do know what happens in life, we don't seem to know anything that happens in death. The mysteriousness of death makes it a very interesting topic for psychology and like many other subject areas, this topic has not got enough attention from psychologists.

Freud dealt with this extensively and there has been some very basic research on death. Finally we have to realize that psychology is still a developing and new subject and there are many unexplored areas, including the psychology of death.]]></description>

Beck tired of this long held view, and in 1967 in his paper, 'Depression. Causes and Treatment,' first came to describe his theory of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

There are plenty of places that you can look up the rules of interpreting dreams, but in this article we'll be looking at a few of the more common types of dreams that people have and what they could potentially mean. While there are an infinite amount of possible dreams there are usually a relatively small amount of different parts that make up these dreams so basic dream interpretation starts with learning the fundamentals.

Dreams about teeth are a very common type and are often recurring.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) was developed by Dr Aaron Beck in the 1960's. It has proved extremely effective in dealing with such problems as depression and anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attacks and phobias. However, it has also been used for more complicated difficulties such as psychosis and personality disorder.

How it works:

The way we think about situations, have a direct effect on the way we feel about them.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In comparing Gramsci's analysis of domination and Foucalt's idea of the formulation of power presented the main contradiction arising is the actual source of that power. Gramsci philosophy and ideas depend upon a collection of intellectuals comprising what can be considered a aristocracy while Foucalt's focus is not simply on any particular individual but the structure of the given organization providing positions of authority to act with power. Just as one can take the more scenic route or choose to take the more succinct to find themselves at a destination our philosophers in question take a different perspective and direction to drive to the central point of focus-the power itself.

Foucalt's route is that of the exterior.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So you're well aware of your fear of snakes. Understood! The very sight of them alone makes you sick to your stomach.

However, on a warm summer night when there's not much to do you find yourself flipping through channels on your cable television hoping to come across something good enough to spark your interest. Unfortunately, you don't.

You keep searching, and while doing so, you inadvertently happen upon a creepy scene of serpents on the Discovery channel.

The repugnant display turns your abdomen inside out, but now you're curious and decide not to change the channel just yet.]]></description>

If only the id is at an unconscious level and the ego is at a conscious level then how is it possible for one to consciously fight against something that is unconscious? Suppose it were so, then it means that there must be a clear connection between the unconscious and the conscious level that one can tap into at anytime. Yet no one knows what is happening at our unconscious level. If they are both at an unconscious level then it means that we do not ever make our own choices.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As psychologists further explore the still largely unknown workings of the human brain, more and more is discovered about subconscious thinking and its powerful role within influence and persuasion.   We all experience forms of subconscious thought.  "Eureka" moments when unresolved questions are suddenly answered. Completing the last stretch of a long journey on "auto pilot."  Brand logos, product strap lines, roadside hoardings, TV commercials, product placement in TV programmes all use peripheral or subconscious communication. They anchor images, sounds and thoughts in our minds, and subsequently trigger off "impulse" buying decisions.

The next time you pass McDonald's notice how you will actually experience the taste of a burger. Music teachers and sports psychologists coach their students into a state of unconscious competence.]]></description>

		<title>Beating Phone Fear &#8211; Not For Everyone</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Most everyone can overcome phone fear.  But not everyone is suited to beating a severe case of phone fear.

In your job, if you experience any of the following when you attempt to cold call or phone prospect:

 Chest pain or discomfort
 Dizziness or faintness
 Fear of dying
 Fear of losing control
 Feeling of choking
 Feelings of detachment
 Feelings of unreality
 Nausea or upset stomach
 Numbness or tingling
 Palpitations or pounding heart
 Sensation of shortness of breath
 Sweating, chills, or hot flashes
 Trembling or shakingA psychology professional will suggest you probably have panic disorder.

If you suffer from any of these when preparing to cold-call or prospect or make difficult customer service calls, etc:

 Difficulty concentrating
 Difficulty controlling worry
 Excess anxiety and worry that is out of proportion to the situation most of the time
 Excessive sweating, palpitations, shortness of breath, and stomach/intestinal symptoms
 Fatigue
 Irritability
 Muscle tension -- shakiness, headaches
 Restlessness or feeling keyed up or "on the edge"
 Sleep disturbance (difficulty falling or staying asleep; or restless, unsatisfying sleep)Doctors will most likely say you have generalized anxiety disorder.

While I serve up ideas and suggestions for overcoming the effects of phone fear, I acknowledge that in cases where a person has these deeply embedded disorders and suffers excruciating symptoms, the idea of pursuing a career that depends on overcoming phone fear is probably not a good idea until intervention by a doctor has stabilized the disorder. These disorders require professional help and all the powerful suggestions and sage advice in the world will not work, until the cause is diagnosed and treated professionally and successfully.

I am as positive about the prospect of overcoming phone fear as anyone. I'm convinced that almost all stable people (using the Big Five Personality Traits as defined in contemporary psychology)  have the wherewithal to use methods, techniques and courage to move past phone fear to attain whatever goals and ambitions they aspire to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1985 the Harvard psychologist and educator, Dr. Howard Gardner, proposed the theory of multiple intelligences. He raised several questions which he focused on in his research:

* How do we come to know what we know about our world?

* How do we learn and understand information?

* What is the process by which we acquire knowledge?"

* What makes us smart?

* What makes us intelligent?"

The findings of Gardner's research have literally shaken the foundations of almost everything we used to think about human intelligence.

Most of us grew up believing that intelligence is fixed and static at birth.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oppositional Defiant Disorder - What is it?

Children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, often abbreviated as ODD, represent a small but significant group of young people with a disturbing behaviour problem that is difficult to manage, troubling to parents and teacher alike, and that places them at risk for future problems. The statistics about the prevalence of ODD vary quite a bit, from a low of five percent to a high of sixteen percent of children under the age of eighteen. The condition seems to occur more in boys than girls and the ratio is dominated by boys until age eighteen.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago, when I became a psychotherapist, all I knew was the traditional psychotherapy that I had learned in school, and that I had personally experienced with many different therapists and many different forms of therapy. For 18 years I practiced what I had learned, and I was never happy with the results.

I saw that people often felt better for the moment, or resolved a particular issue, but that when new issues came up, they didn't have a process for dealing with them. In all the years of my own therapy, I had never learned a process either - a process for loving myself and taking 100% responsibility for my own feelings and needs.]]></description>

Now there's a surprise for you! Anyone who works with children knows that there have always been higher rates of self-harm in children and teens then is recorded in official records. I am making a plea in this article to stop calling it "Deliberate Self-Harm" and use the proper terminology: Suicide in children and teenagers.

Clinicians have discovered long ago that children as young as six and under can attempt to take their own lives.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The word psychology is derived from the Greek word psyche which means 'soul' or 'mind' and logia meaning "Study of". Psychology is applied in studying the human mind and behavior. Research in psychology is used to understand and explain thought, emotion, and behavior.

Psychology is a vast field which covers all aspects of the human knowledge - from the functions of the brain to the surroundings in which humans and animals develop; from child growth to aging.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you want to stop dreaming too much, the solution to your problem is not what you may desire. In order to stop seeing too many bad dreams in which you are in dangerous situations, you feel awful, and you awake up sad, you have to correct your mistakes.

Dreams are lessons, warnings, and directions sent by the wise unconscious mind to your ignorant human conscience, which has to fight against your wild and primitive conscience that occupies the biggest part of your brain, and is very violent, immoral and cruel. The unconscious mind helps your conscience fight against the attacks of the evil anti-conscience, your primitive side.

Besides that, you also have too many enemies in the outside world, which means that you need protection and guidance, not only in order to face the anti-conscience and overcome the mental illnesses it tries to provoke to your conscience, but also to face the entire world, which is full of people that have bad intentions and want to manipulate you, take advantage of you, and even kill you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In order to understand what mind power means and what the realm of consciousness is, we have to understand how the learning process of the brain works.

The biologist and behaviorist Konrand Lorenz, in his book "Behind the Mirror" describes in detail the learning process of the animal and human brain, beginning from the amoeba, up to the giant mammals.

Lorenz explains to us that animal behavior is programmed depending on chains. Even human behavior is programmed the same way.

The behavioral program is first of all indispensable for the safety of all animals on Earth, where too many dangers and natural enemies are threatening them. They wouldn't have the time to learn how to defend themselves if this behavior was not inherited, and already prepared in their cognitive mechanism.

The cognitive mechanism is the mechanism through which the brain can recognize something, and also learn something from a certain experience.

For example an orangutan is able to learn to climb a small bench in order to reach a bunch of bananas that are hanging near the roof, when it is left alone in a room, when it sees the bananas up there and then it sees the bench.

Of course, it will take time to discover the solution, but it will find it in the end, and get the bananas.

Lorenz observed that the human brain follows many behavioral programs, like all animals, concluding that the human being in fact has no freedom of choice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people think that dreams are not important at all, or that they could have a certain psychological importance, but they don't believe that dream interpretation is an occupation that deserves their time. If they knew how really important dreams are, they would abandon other activities that don't help them in any way, or that cannot help them as much as dream interpretation, and start immediately studying the meaning of their dreams.

Dreams are secret messages sent to your conscience by the unconscious mind, which works like a natural doctor, protecting you from the absurd side of your conscience, which is wild, and didn't pass through the process of transformation that your human side did.

You have to learn how to translate the dream messages indispensably, because you inherit this dangerous enemy in your brain.

Besides that, you are too ignorant, and in fact an idiot, since you use only a tiny portion of your brain on your behalf. The biggest part of your brain belongs to your untamed evil side, that must be transformed if you want to live peacefully and happily.

Don't be like the people that don't look for the meaning of the precious messages they receive in their dreams.]]></description>

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>

That when old mysteries are exposed, revealing new and powerful information, this process eventually uncovers even more awesome unanswered questions. Such is the case with what we've discovered in the name of science, best exemplified by the patterns of attraction and connectivity between very tiny, atom, as well as very large, planet, objects, which mathematics helps us explain so well that we are constantly inventing new technological gadgets based upon this new information.

So what are the new questions being exposed? The answer is we're not paying much attention even to what they are-all of which have at least something to do with our personal emotional experience.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever stopped to wonder why psychologists, doctors, and others with a Phd use big words? Are they trying to confuse the rest of us?

I don't really think they use it all the time to confuse the rest of us mere mortals, okay not all the time anyway. You and I both know that some use this little bit of skill as a soap box to show the rest of us just how much they really know.

Have you ever wondered why there are people who are taken by 'rip off artists'? Well there are a couple of reasons, one is that these individuals are highly trained and or have a certain adaptability towards learning these tips and tricks. Another would be that we don't always know what they are looking for.

		<description><![CDATA[Dreams are produced by the unconscious mind, which is a separate brain that doesn't belong to the human being, but has a mysterious origin. This brain is superior, saintly and perfect, and uses dream images in order to send secret messages to the human side of our conscience, in order to protect us from our wild conscience. This is the anti-conscience, our primitive conscience that didn't evolve like our human side and keeps trying to destroy it, in order to control our behavior, instead of being tamed by the human side of our conscience.

The anti-conscience is violent, immoral and sneaky, like all wild animals, only that it can think.]]></description>

The prevailing wisdom is that men suffer more anxiety and stress over the loss of a job than women. It is reasoned that because the self-identity of men is intrinsically wound up in their work and role as "breadwinner" (is there a more odious term?) that it is inevitable they suffer greater loss of self-confidence and self-esteem.]]></description>

Educational psychological assessment is a formal procedure undertaken individually between a psychologist and a child (or any person). After building up rapport and making the child comfortable, the psychologist will administer a test to the child. There are many tests that can be administered so I will just introduce and explain the most commonly used tests.]]></description>

The stress that these financial difficulties place on us can be devastating to our ability to be "here and now," fully present in our life, appreciating and enjoying what is left, and more importantly, parenting our children in a healthy way.

		<description><![CDATA[Positive Psychology is an ever growing branch of psychology and since its ethos is about getting the most out of life, I believe it can be readily used in counselling.

For many years psychology has focused on looking at problems and seeing if anything can be done about them. As a result so much focus seems to have been on what's wrong rather than what's right with people. Somehow people have become victims of their genes and environment and the best they can hope for is to learn how to tread water.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - often shortened to CBT, is a directive form of counselling and psychological therapy that focuses on understanding how our thoughts affect our behaviour.  It is based on the belief that feelings result from our thoughts and if dysfunctional or negative, result in conditions like anxiety, depression and related self-destructive action behaviour.

We all experience times when we are worry about something and go over and over it in our minds.  We know how this makes us feel emotionally and in our bodies.  The negativity spreads.  When these associations are so strong or a person's behaviour is destructive, self-deprecating or simply undermining us having a great life because we feel negative all the time, CBT can help.  If this is what is happening to you, CBT can help you identify your typical thought patterns, challenge them and help you develop new connections.  Thus, new thoughts can be established.  For example, You can be helped to look for solutions rather than saying 'I have no choice' or 'This always happens to me'.  New thoughts can be encouraged such as 'What do I need to do now to change this?'  'How can I look at this differently?'  Asking more positive, solution-focused questions results in a greater sense of emotional wellbeing.  Over time, this will become a more natural way of thinking, resulting in more positive feelings and subsequent actions which serve you more effectively.

Many psychodynamic psychotherapists balk at CBT, believing it to be too technique-driven with scant attention paid to the lived experience of individuals. Constant re-framing of an individual's thought patterns might be considered by more phenomenologically-oriented therapists to ignore the value of the inter-subjective interaction between psychotherapist and client. The focus on 'doing something to' the client' through re-framing of thoughts and intentions, rather than 'being something with' the client, is seen as limiting in helping clients understand their worldview.]]></description>

During the first year of your child's life you will see a change in their actions towards objects. Up to about 8 months sucking on an object is done simply as material for their own actions. From that time forward a child seems to become more curious about objects, looking at them longer, feeling them, exploring their surfaces and edges and turning the object around and around.

Here is a summary of the timeline of various motor intelligence stages:-

I didn't think this would be possible online though, because there are too many internet users that are curious about the meaning of their dreams: I have to translate their dreams alone without anyone's help, and the price of my professional dream translation cannot be cheaper than a professional translation from one language to the other, especially due to my responsibility. I give the dreamer advice, really helping him or her solve their personal problems based on the information given by the unconscious mind in their dreams.

I have offered my instant professional dream translation on the internet for those who don't have time to study dream interpretation according to the scientific method but who have serious problems that no one can solve, or are very curious about the meaning of a dream.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1972, Thomas Nagel first introduced what is now known as the "epistemic gap" amongst contemporary philosophers. It was described in his paper "What Is It Like To Be A Bat?" and the gist of the argument was this: one cannot fully understand the mind unless one is experiencing that mind.

Nagel took the example of a bat because bats are so fascinatingly different than humans; they hang upside down most of the time, use echolocation, they are nocturnal, and most eat nothing but insects. Could a human ever convincingly claim that he knew what it was like to be a bat? Nagel didn't believe this was possible - I agree.

Can the same be true amongst humans? Can another human fully understand the mind of another, or, does one have to be in the first-person to understand the mind more clearly?

Philosopher Frank Jackson wrote a paper in 1982 titled "Epiphenomenal Qualia" where he introduced the famous thought experiment known as Mary's room.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To pass the Examination for the Professional Practice of Psychology (EPPP) you need help, a strategy. You can not just walk in to an examination center, sit down, and pass this examination without preparing. 

How Important is the EPPP?

The EPPP is one of the most important tests a psychologist will ever sit for. 

No matter how well you did in your graduate school classes. No matter how great you did on comprehensive examinations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Learning to relate to difficult people is one of the most common and anguishing problems I've encountered in many years as a Christian psychotherapist and psychologist.

Toxic relationships between two parties seem to endure as long as healthy ones, and sometimes longer, for they tend to be permanent. The difficult party holds more power than the other, who is forever trying to please or get the approval of the dominator.

The dominator remains inflexible in rejecting very imaginative attempts by the subjective party to achieve victory. But no success is ever possible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is some information about some common dream images to get you started:

Dreams with Animals:

Animals pop up everywhere in our lives and, in turn, in our dreams. The subject of what animals mean in our dreams is as large as the number of animals there are to dreams about. Wild animals usually symbolize a sense of power or perhaps even a feeling of being out of control and domestic animals can mean the opposite a feeling of being "trained" or out of control.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every living thing predates, which simply means life eats to stay alive, both materially and, for humans, emotionally. Though some say all life feels.

We have learned only very recently in human history that we are the abusive predator, who predates not just for food, but also for everything in sight, making us the most greedy species. This trait is not entirely villainous.]]></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[Logic dictates that entity A cannot be entity B, and when we come to valuate that do the representations we have from ourselves truly represent ourselves, in relativity with this simple logic, the answer must be "No". The entity we are perceiving in our consciousness is combined of units of information, and is a virtual entity, similarly with our friends and foes we perceive in our consciousness even when they are not around. And these representations lack the neurological detail, everything that we know as the physical basis of our existence, every known form of self-awareness, and are immaterial in the environment.]]></description>

The words echoed through my eight-year-old head. Squeezing my eyes shut I begged God, once again, not to send me to hell. I tried to choke back the tears, but I had no control over them, as if they had a mind of their own.

With a sniffly nose, I wiped the salty water off of my face with the palms of my hands.

I pictured myself screaming in the middle of red hot flames and coals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A symbol expresses much more than words because it has a background. It is composed by a certain story, and it shows to the dreamer this entire story in only one image.

A symbol is a collection of meanings, like a sentence is a collection of words.

When for example you see your mother in a dream, this means that the dream is showing you first of all that you are being influenced by the wild side of your conscience, which is violent, immoral and sneaky. This is your other self, your primitive self, which you ignore.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In two articles entitled "We Are Not Our Personalities" and "Eliminating The Past" I make the point that it is now possible to "dismantle" all the life experience that is stored in the human bio-field, i.e. in our consciousness , with all its ensuing consequences.

Here I would like to highlight a point that perhaps I have not yet stressed. That is, what impact will this have on the livelihood of the many "psychotherapies" that currently exist and whose task it is: to "reorganize", "fix" , "restructure", "repair", "work through", or "understand" one's past and the influence it has had on the organization of one's personality?

Well, let's look at this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past 10 years I have helped individuals who have been plagued by the memories of past events to permanently release the disruptive energy imprints of such memories from their energy bio-fields.

A special and interesting case of such release pertains to situations where an individual has within them a construct that is referred to as an "inner child" that is still in need of nurturing or healing. In the language of psychotherapy such a construct is often called a "sub personality" or an "ego state".

These ego states seem to have the tendency to dominate what is called the main personality of that person from time to time thereby causing them to feel, think, and behave as if they were that ego state. In other words it's like becoming overtaken by something within ones' self that causes them to revert into being a child or a younger persona.

Such a reversion occurs whenever something in day to day experience triggers the child ego state to have its needs met right then and there.]]></description>

In this world of todays', there are a lot of implausible diseases; one of them is the disease of human's mind, which is called as split-personality disorder. Not many people around the world believe if this disease really exists or not, or they rather think that the person is acting.

I was on my way from Bangalore, India to Mumbai, India and during the journey I was just chatting with the person sitting next to me and during the process of our conversation we begin to discuss on "Split Personalities".

		<description><![CDATA[In 1972, Thomas Nagel first introduced what is now known as the "epistemic gap" amongst contemporary philosophers. It was described in his paper "What Is It Like To Be A Bat?" and the gist of the argument was this: one cannot fully understand the mind unless one is experiencing that mind.

Nagel took the example of a bat because bats are so fascinatingly different than humans; they hang upside down most of the time, use echolocation, they are nocturnal, and most eat nothing but insects. Could a human ever convincingly claim that he knew what it was like to be a bat? Nagel didn't believe this was possible - I agree.

Can the same be true amongst humans? Can another human fully understand the mind of another, or, does one have to be in the first-person to understand the mind more clearly?

Philosopher Frank Jackson wrote a paper in 1982 titled "Epiphenomenal Qualia" where he introduced the famous thought experiment known as Mary's room.]]></description>

It has been my experience that such approaches rapidly accelerates the emotional healing sought by many traumatized individuals today.

Traumatic or negatively charged memories may remain accessible or at other times may become completely buried and unconscious. In the latter case the amount of "pain" associated with them is so great that the individual often fears the re-emergence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many people have tried to decipher the mysterious meaning of dreams throughout our history, but only the psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Jung managed to discover the right way to interpret the dream scenes and images, because of his arduous research.

Jung studied the dream formation and the content of many dreams from patients who suffered from grave mental illnesses, besides dreams of ordinary people, comparing them and analyzing each detail of each dream many times.

He looked for the meaning of each dream symbol in our history and analyzed the work of the alchemists, besides the art and religion of many civilizations.

His discoveries were amazing, but the scientific world could not evaluate them, because in order to do so, the scientists would have to precisely follow Jung's steps, which only a few people did.

Carl Jung was a beginner, since he was the one who discovered the hidden code for the comprehension of the strange dream language, and he was not a translator; he was a doctor. This is why his interpretations were not perfect, even though he discovered the perfect way to translate the dream images into comprehensible terms.

A language is a form of expression. Therefore, it can be better understood and analyzed by a writer like me than by a doctor like him.]]></description>
