Ce livre retrace mes expériences spirites, vécues depuis 2011 et offre de magnifiques messages de nos guides spirituels. Sans être une méthode, ni un enseignement, il invite à l'écoute de leur guidance et tente de démystifier le spiritisme, loin des clichés et dogmes traditionnels. "Un espoir pour les personnes en recherche spirituelle et dans la souffrance du deuil." Les messages ont été obtenus lors de séances de spiritisme (ouija et channeling) à 4, en compagnie d'une médium ou seul par écriture automatique ou inspirée. Je suis convaincu que le spiritisme est accessible à tous, à condition de se laisser guider par l'amour et le respect et d'observer certaines règles. Attention, ce n’est pas un jeu, mais il et bien moins dangereux que la majorité des activités humaines, contrairement aux idées re?ues, véhiculées par la peur, l'ignorance ou le désir de pouvoir. Nos guides spirituels sont toujours avec nous, près de nous. Ils sont toujours heureux de communiquer avec nous. Ils nous aiment sans jamais nous juger. Ils nous accompagnent, ils nous aident et ils nous le font savoir, pour peu que nous apprenions leur langage, celui du c?ur.

All great sages and philosophers of antiquity emphasized the importance of the heart, calling it the “Abode of God.” It contains enormous magical potential and all the divine abilities people are destined to unseal in the coming New Era — the Era of the Heart. What is the fiery heart? What unknown functions does it perform? What are the specifics of its work? What is it capable of? How can you hear the voice of your heart and how can you avoid confusing it with the mind? Answers to these and many other questions will be provided to you by the Lord of Love and Compassion, known as the “Great Heart,” in Book 6 of The Teaching of the Heart series. Revealing the profound significance of the human heart step by step, He will enable you to look in an entirely new way at the treasure beating within your breast. After learning to listen to your heart, you will find a loyal friend that will always prompt you in which direction you need to head in order to realize your spiritual potential and accomplish — in the best way possible — the mission entrusted to you by destiny. It is the awakening of the human heart that will allow humanity to move to a new level of its spiritual development. Will you open your heart?

Today, when humanity is being exposed to a variety of global crises, the need to create a new type of relationship between people is more urgent than ever before. Imagine a world where everyone lives in peace and harmony — a just society about which people have always dreamed.How can we create a society in which everyone will be happy? What should be done so that an attempt to establish this does not fail?In Book 3 of The Teaching of the Heart series, the Lord of Love and Compassion offers you the principles of a true community as a model for an ideal society that has already been tested by more developed civilizations within the Universe. Such foundations will allow people to reach incredible heights in their spiritual evolution and to open up completely new opportunities, such as co-operation with other worlds.Through applying the wise advice of the Lord in your daily life, you will be able to build proper relationships within your family and to establish a harmonious communication with others, bringing your experience further onto a more global level. Thus, step by step, you will approach the creation of a New World on a New Earth.Will you join the reconstruction of the world?

Sincerely do I hope that the issue of this little book may prove useful in drawing the attention of the public to the mental and physical condition of the unfortunates who form such a large proportion of our prison population.??To our authorities the sad plight of this mass of smitten humanity is well known. Year after year our Prison Commissioners, in presenting their reports, have not failed to impress upon the State the great part physical and mental afflictions play in the production of crime.??So far, the information given by the Prison Commissioners has produced little or no effect; neither have their representations led to any alteration in the treatment of unfortunate individuals whose infirmities are in reality the root cause of their delinquency.??To the official information I add the result of my own prolonged experience. This experience has imbued me with the conviction that the present methods of dealing with suffering humanity are neither wise, just, nor efficacious. I have seen the helplessness of so many that are called criminals that, in writing these pages, I am animated with a keen desire to hasten the day of sensible reform. Surely the day cannot be far distant when the State will take mental and physical infirmities into consideration when it has to deal with its erring children.??Thomas Holmes.?Howard Association,? Devonshire Chambers, Bishopsgate.? ?IS THERE A CRIMINAL TYPE? ??After years of close observation, during which I have formed many friendships with criminals, I can only answer this question in the words that I have answered it before, and say that, physically, I have not found any evidence to show that a criminal type exists. In saying this I know that I shall run counter to the teaching of a good many people, and probably run counter to public opinion. For the criminal class and the criminal type have been written about so largely, and talked about so frequently, that the majority of people have come to the conclusion that our criminals come from a particular order of society, and that the poorest; or that there exists a type of people whose physical appearance gives outward and visible signs that proclaim the inward criminal mind.??I believe both these ideas to be entirely wrong. I was confirmed in my opinion last year when I visited many of the largest prisons in the United States; for I found there, as I have found in England, a complete absence among the prisoners of those physical and facial peculiarities that we are taught to believe differentiate criminals from ordinary citizens.??Speaking on this subject to the American Congress at Washington on October 4, 1910, Sir Evelyn Ruggles-Brise, K.C.B., the esteemed chairman of our Prison Commissioners, made the following statement—??“There is no criminal type. Nothing in the past has so retarded progress as the conviction, deeply rooted and widespread, that the criminal is a class by himself, different from all others, with a tendency to crime, of which certain peculiarities of body are the outward and visible signs.??“This superstition, for such I think it must be called, was, you know, strengthened and encouraged by the findings of the Italian school.

PSYCHOLOGY is generally considered to be the science of mind, although more properly it is the science of mental states—thoughts, feelings, and acts of volition. It was formerly the custom of writers on the subject of psychology to begin by an attempt to define and describe the nature of mind, before proceeding to a consideration of the subject of the various mental spates and activities. But more recent authorities have rebelled against this demand, and have claimed that it is no more reasonable to hold that psychology should be held to an explanation of the ultimate nature of mind than it is that physical science be held to an explanation of the ultimate nature of matter. ??The attempt to explain the ultimate nature of either is futile—no actual necessity exists for explanation in either case. Physics may explain the phenomena of matter, and psychology the phenomena of mind, without regard to the ultimate nature of the substance of either.??The science of physics has progressed steadily during the past century, notwithstanding the fact that the theories regarding the ultimate nature of matter have been revolutionized during that period. The facts of the phenomena of matter remain, notwithstanding the change of theory regarding the nature of matter itself. ??Science demands and holds fast to facts, regarding theories as but working hypotheses at the best. Some one has said that "theories are but the bubbles with which the grown-up children of science amuse themselves." ??Science holds several well-supported, though opposing, theories regarding the nature of electricity, but the facts of the phenomena of electricity, and the application thereof, are agreed upon by the disputing theorists. And so it is with psychology; the facts regarding mental states are agreed up-on, and methods of developing mental powers are effectively em-ployed, without regard to whether mind is a product of the brain, or the brain merely an organ of the mind. ??The fact that the brain and nervous system are employed in the phenomena of thought is conceded by all, and that is all that is necessary for a basis for the science of psychology.

A modern ember tragédiája, hogy rohamosan távolodik attól az optimális életmódtól, amelyre az evolúció ?tervezte”. E folyamat egyik lényeges velejárója, hogy házakba és légkondicionált irodákba bújtunk a nap el?l. Márpedig napozás és fény nélkül D-vitamin sem termel?dik az emberi szervezetben, holott erre a speciális hormonra szervezetünk minden sejtjének nagy szüksége volna. SZENDI G?BOR új k?nyvében rámutat: a civilizált világ nagyvárosokba koncentrálódott népessége folyamatos D-vitamin-hiányban szenved, és ez az egyik f? oka a rák, az autoimmun betegségek, a légúti és idegrendszeri megbetegedések, valamint számos más civilizációs betegség rohamos terjedésének. Szendi ?sszefoglalja mindazt, amit a haladó szellem? tudomány eddig megismert a napfény, a D-vitamin és a civilizációs betegségek kapcsolatáról. Rámutat arra, hogy az ember az evolúció során évmilliókig a napon élt, ezért szervezete igen magas D-vitamin-szinthez alkalmazkodott. A szerz? állítja: az egészség megfelel? életmód, nem pedig megfelel? orvosi kezelés kérdése. A nyugati orvoslás csak árral szemben úszik, amikor arra t?rekszik, hogy némileg javítson a népesség egyre romló egészségi állapotán, mik?zben – tudomást sem véve a kutatás utóbbi harminc évének eredményeir?l – a D-vitamin túladagolásával riogat, és óva int a napozástól. Ne feledjük azonban: vitaminhiányt csak vitaminbevitellel lehet megszüntetni. Az egészség bármennyit megér – szokták mondani. Ehhez képest a napfény ingyen van, a D-vitamin pedig filléres tétel. ?m amíg erre nem ébred rá a hivatalos orvoslás, addig nem tehetünk mást, mint hogy a saját kezünkbe vesszük egészségünk védelmét. Ebben segít Szendi Gábor legújabb k?nyve, amely forradalmian új információkat nyújt minden egészségtudatos és gyógyulni vágyó embernek, leend? gyermeke egészségéért aggódó anyának.

Vajon mennyire meghatározóak nemi szerepeink a mindennapi érintkezések során? Mik a kiegyensúlyozott és ?r?mteli párkapcsolatok kialakulásának alapk?vei? Mit?l tud hatékonyan m?k?dni a kommunikáció két ember k?z?tt? Napjainkban az emberi kapcsolatok – amelyek talán a legfontosabb er?forrást jelentik az életünkben – mind gyakrabban mondanak cs?d?t… A válások száma folyamatosan n?, és a hosszú távú párkapcsolatok m?k?dtetésébe is sokan buknak bele. BELS? N?RA k?nyve alaposan, ugyanakkor kell? érzékenységgel járja k?rül a témát, és rámutat: a legt?bb embernek az érzelmi kapcsolatok kezelése jelenti a f? problémát. Férfiak és n?k élnek egymás mellett, gyermekeik vannak, dolgoznak, pénzt keresnek – de nem képesek egymásra odafigyelni, nem érzik és nem értik egymást. A rossz kérdések rossz válaszokat szülnek, és ezt gyakran már ?k maguk sem veszik észre. A szerz? kérdésfelvetései, gondolatai, pszichiátriai praxisából hozott, vagy épp személyes, bens?séges t?rténetei, illetve a hétk?znapi társas helyzeteket elemz? sorai új megvilágításba helyezik a generációkon átível? problémákat, és mindenkinek segítenek eligazodni a párkapcsolati érintkezés útveszt?iben.

Cu toate c exist acorduri surprinztoare i frecvente ntre ei, Reich i Jung i abordeaz munca n moduri fundamental diferite. Cu asemenea diferene tulburtoare ale stilului i caracterului celor doi, unirea acestor dou sisteme este un exerciiu neateptat i remarcabil. Ironic, are loc prin medierea teoretic freudian.”Scopul umbrei este de a oferi sufletului omenesc opoziia i tensiunea necesare pentru a se dezvolta mai mult prin intermediul hotrrii i determinrii interioare, de a se elucida prin provocarea contrastelor i de a se trezi, pentru a fi astfel dispus s se transforme ntr-un mod profund.” Jung & Reich. Trupul ca umbr este o explorare a vieilor i a ideilor semnificative a dou figuri principale ale psihanalizei: Carl Jung i Wilhelm Reich, amndoi pionieri i genii controversate care nu s-au ntlnit niciodat dei au fost contemporani. Modul n care John P. Conger trateaz personalitile i perspectivele acestora – precum i ce ar fi putut asimila unul de la cellalt – reprezint o biografie combinat a similaritilor i diferenelor i totodat o evaluare contiincioas a teoriilor lor.

In Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, (1922), Sigmund Freud based his preliminary description of group psychology on Le Bon's work, but went on to develop his own, original theory, related to what he had begun to elaborate in Totem and Taboo. Theodor Adorno reprised Freud's essay in 1951 with his Freudian Theory and the Pattern of Fascist Propaganda, and said that "It is not an overstatement if we say that Freud, though he was hardly interested in the political phase of the problem, clearly foresaw the rise and nature of fascist mass movements in purely psychological categories. Group Dynamics refers to a system of behaviors and psychological processes occurring within a social group (intragroup dynamics), or between social groups (intergroup dynamics). The study of group dynamics can be useful in understanding decision-making behavior, tracking the spread of diseases in society, creating effective therapy techniques, and following the emergence and popularity of new ideas and technologies. Group dynamics are at the core of understanding racism, sexism, and other forms of social prejudice and discrimination. These applications of the field are studied in psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science, epidemiology, education, social work, business, and communication studies. Within the context of psychology, Social Psychology is the scientific study of how people's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. By this definition, scientific refers to the empirical method of investigation. The terms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors include all psychological variables that are measurable in a human being. The statement that others' presence may be imagined or implied suggests that we are prone to social influence even when no other people are present, such as when watching television, or following internalized cultural norms. Social psychologists typically explain human behavior as a result of the interaction of mental states and immediate social situations. In general, social psychologists have a preference for laboratory-based, empirical findings. Social psychology theories tend to be specific and focused, rather than global and general.Social psychologists therefore deal with the factors that lead us to behave in a given way in the presence of others, and look at the conditions under which certain behavior/actions and feelings occur. Social psychology is concerned with the way these feelings, thoughts, beliefs, intentions and goals are constructed and how such psychological factors, in turn, influence our interactions with others. Social psychology is an interdisciplinary domain that bridges the gap between psychology and sociology. During the years immediately following World War II, there was frequent collaboration between psychologists and sociologists. However, the two disciplines have become increasingly specialized and isolated from each other in recent years, with sociologists focusing on "macro variables" (e.g., social structure) to a much greater extent. Nevertheless, sociological approaches to social psychology remain an important counterpart to psychological research in this area. In addition to the split between psychology and sociology, there has been a somewhat less pronounced difference in emphasis between American social psychologists and European social psychologists. As a broad generalization, American researchers traditionally have focused more on the individual, whereas Europeans have paid more attention to group level phenomena.. About Author: Sigmund Freud (Born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) was an Austrian neurologist who became known as the founding father of psychoanalysis. Freud qualified as a doctor of medicine at the University of Vienna in 1881, and then carried out research into cerebral palsy, aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy at the Vienna General Hospital. He was appointed a university lecturer in neuropathology in 1885 and became a professor in 1902. In creating psychoanalysis, a clinical method for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient and a psychoanalyst, Freud developed therapeutic techniques such as the use of free association (in which patients report their thoughts without reservation and in whichever order they spontaneously occur) and discovered transference (the process in which patients displace on to their analysts feelings derived from their childhood attachments), establishing its central role in the analytic process. Freud’s redefinition of sexuality to include its infantile forms led him to formulate the Oedipus complex as the central tenet of psychoanalytical theory. His analysis of his own and his patients' dreams as wish-fulfillments provided him with models for the clinical analysis of symptom formation and the mechanisms of repression as well as for elaboration of his theory of the unconscious as an agency disruptive of con

Este posibil? o autoanaliz?? Dac? da, c?nd, ?n ce m?sur? ?i cu ce limite? Putem utiliza tehnicile psihanalitice pe cont propriu, pentru a ne rezolva problemele? Este introspec?ia constructiv? sau mai degrab? inutil?? Acestea sunt ?ntreb?rile pe care le abordeaz?, ?n cartea sa, Karen Horney, al?turi de prezentarea a numeroase studii de caz. Argumente sunt destule, at?t pro, c?t ?i contra: noi ne cunoa?tem cel mai bine pe noi ?n?ine, introspec?ia este constructiv? ?n momentul ?n care o utiliz?m ?n slujba dorin?ei de a deveni o fiin?? mai bun?, mai ?nzestrat? ?i mai puternic?, iar insighturile ob?inute prin autoanaliz? sunt mai bine primite; pe de alt? parte, factorii emo?ionali ?i rezisten?ele constituie o dificultate important? ?n acest demers. Astfel, autoanaliza este, ?n viziunea autoarei, o ?ncercare de a fi pacient ?i analist ?n acela?i timp, metoda de baz? r?m?n?nd aceea?i ca la orice psihanaliz?: asocierile libere. Dincolo de tehnici ?i metode, mesajul este simplu ?i percutant: pentru c? via?a ta este cel mai bun psihoterapeut, crede ?n tine ?nsu?i!Fiecare autoanaliz? reu?it? spore?te ?ncrederea ?n sine, dar exist? ?i un alt c??tig, datorat faptului c? ai cucerit ?n ?ntregime un teritoriu prin ini?iativ? proprie, perseveren?? ?i curaj. Acest efect se manifest? ?n analiz?, ca ?i ?n alte aspecte ale vie?ii.
