Students often ask me for psychology books and psychology articles online. They want lessons and courses, but hey, I ask: "have you read the book of your own self?" Dazed and perplexed, they glance at me sideways. They all seek something that's meant to be outside of themselves. That's the western psychological approach, totally lacking in a "spiritual self-knowledge" and a sense of connectedness to the energies of the wider Universe. No wonder that alienation and schizophrenia abound in our modern 'advanced' societies. Teachings so dry that statistical significance and standard deviations are king.

Really I am a publisher of little psychology eBooks. These e-books are written to inspire and enlighten the reader, perhaps encouraging you to look at a bigger picture that includes reaching back into human history by 5,000 years. Why are we westerners from North America and Europe so ethno-centric as to disregard ancient teachings? We pump psycho-active medications into people - quite foolishly - while in fact ALL the psychological problems were perfectly solved thousands of years ago in India, Nepal and China.

Now I've got your attention as your blood pressure rises......who is this upstart who wants to question modern psychiatry and psychotherapy? Who is trying to dismantle our needed institutions of therapy and healing?

Listen very closely now. No, draw nearer to me. I will whisper the truth. The claim is that psychological problems were 100% perfectly solved thousands of years ago by spiritual masters we now refer to as Buddha, Krishna, Christ and Confucious. Many hundreds more shining souls will go unnamed because they meditated in remote forest regions, as did Ajhan Cha in the tropical forest of Thailand.

So to you who seek enlightenment in psychology books and dry scientific articles quoting statistical analysis and reliability of experimental method and design -- I say this: "go first and read the book of your own self!"   Learn to crack the neurological code of DNA and watch your own brain by a practice of focused meditation. Be diligent. Persevere and find the great emptiness of the void where your thought process has finally stilled itself. Where your old cynical, skeptical negative thinking has become quietened and replaced by a positive fountain of overflowing creative energies.....and where your new perception of yourself rejoices in the Oneness of inner and outer events, fully aware that all the love of The Universe, the gravity and The Energy are yours to dance in, forever.

THIS is the promise of accomplished spiritual meditation.

So you came to me seeking psychology articles and I have replied with a wholistic-dynamic systemic solution that without a doubt is capable of solving every psychological problem in the book. You see, the answer is NOT in definition, diversificaton and classification (left brain activities) but the answer is in cerebral hemisphere balancing, whole brain functioning or ONENESS - try an eastern meditative experience and you will be amazed. Feelings of connectedness will bring solace and productivity to your life -- despite a deteriorating comtemporary social environment that perhaps has something to do with unbridled free market economics.

Above all, breath freely, deeply.....and relax.
