Introducing a new physical worldview: 'The Science of Consciousness'

The 2015 book The Science of Consciousness offered a new hypothesis about the physical world. The idea is congruent with the hope of ancient traditions that there is an organic unity to existence. Yet science has shown our world as mechanical and disconnected until now. A synthesis of theoretical physics, evolution, and cognition formulates an organically unified cosmos in which particles of matter, the mind, and the whole cosmos fit together like Russian dolls. To understand particles is to understand the mind, and it is to understand the universe. Material interaction is the source of a cosmological evolution that increases complexity and ultimately gives rise to the intelligent mind.

Written for a general audience as a practical guide for better living, the upcoming book "Emotional Reasoning; An Insight into the Conscious Experience" uses simplified brain anatomy to contextualize the discussion. It shows how the brain gives rise to consciousness and the mind. It offers a classification of emotions as the motivational forces of our lives, explaining how emotions govern individual behavior. 

"Emotional Reasoning; An Insight into the Conscious Experience" offers a coherent framework for the conscious experience. Perception changes our mental energy balance, forming emotions that can trigger a response. The physiology of emotions is explained by using analogies from physics. Time perception inspires motivation. Although negative and positive emotions enhance time perception, their contrasting energy needs induce different physiological and psychological responses. Expanding states, sensed as a wealth of time, inspire happiness and creativity. The contracting states form unhappiness, criticism, and anger. 

The significant role of emotions in the brain's energy regulation, stability, and development turns them into the mind's fundamental forces. The novel perspective on emotions and their role in regulating our social environment makes it possible to recognize motivation better. It provides suggestions for achieving intellectual excellence, a positive force in society. Twenty-seven black-and-white illustrations enhance the explanations of the ideas. Videos posted on the Author's YouTube channel facilitate understanding of some critical concepts. Reserve your copy here.

The book Emotional Reasoning: Insight into the Conscious Experience is published on August 30, 2024.

The four step plan for creative success

Raphael: The School of Athens (Plato)

We live in a century of immense change. Yesterday's answers cannot resolve the problems we face. Creativity especially shows a close correlation between professional achievement and leadership. However, creativity is vital to improving work performance and is essential in solving everyday problems of our increasingly complex lives. Creativity is a productive lifestyle that enhances the quality of life overall. Although intelligence measures show a gradual increase due to positive social and technological environments, the trend is different for creativity.

Creativity requires alternating between divergent and convergent thinking, culminating in the aha moment and making a discovery pleasurable. Although arbitrary creative ideas happen to anybody, it takes systematic preparation to achieve mental excellence, which is essential to achieve long-term creative success. There are four crucial elements of creativity. 

(1)  Understand the problem. Knowing the crux of the contradiction or the problem is necessary to create or find a solution. However, too many details can be confusing and misleading. Your insight of the problem must be to the point, sharp as a needle, to puncture the perceived resistance of the difficulty.

(2)  Accept the place where you are. Creativity is not linear progress. Most often, creative solutions come to those not positioned well in the organization or even those outside. The lower you find yourself compared to your expectations, the better you are set for a breakthrough.

(3)  Be immersed in the problem. All creative people have a hundred percent mental commitment. They cannot be disturbed! Whereas environmental disturbances disrupt most people, creative minds thrive in stressful situations, further sharpening their resolve toward the goal.

(4) Keep a light disposition. Children do not feel inhibited by expectations or social pressure. Their genuineness allows them to see the essence of things with creative potential. Playful activities possess inner freedom, which is conducive to creativity. Eliminating shaming, criticism, and pressure will allow creative instincts to flourish.

This last point is essential. Mental commitment is not a forceful and rigid concentration; creative people do not seem to work on the problem at all! Einstein often received creative inspiration while chatting with friends or engaging in mundane activities. Mozart enjoyed light-hearted partying with friends, but he could 'see' a whole symphony in a creative moment. 

Creativity visits a straightforward, playful mind: live with a clear conscience. Go for a walk; focus on a mantra or meditation to liberate your mind from a negative mindset. Mental house cleaning will often immediately create space for a creative solution. Keep going even if you receive an unworkable, faulty answer at first. If you are persistent and optimistic, innovative solutions will visit you.

Creativity cannot be planned for but can be cultivated. 

My handbook, The Power of Joy, gives you the tools and advice to liberate yourself from negativity.
