Psychology, Concepts of Behaviour
The purpose of this book is to fill a great public need regarding the subject of psychology, its many schools of ideas, and the terminology used in comprehending the study of human behaviour. The contents of this book bring the authority and clarity of science and the light of reason to a field that has remained too long in the darkness of confusion, misunderstanding and false belief. In place of guesswork and legend that so often pass for 'psychology' this book makes available to everybody, the general reader, the verified findings and most challenging theories of the world's great psychologists, philosophers and researchers. The depths of human behaviour need not remain perplexing and mysterious. So, this book is based on the conceptual understanding of psychology and the comprehension of the terminology of the many schools of ideas. Of all the world's mysteries, none is more baffling than man. As scientific knowledge advances, we are able to solve most unyielding problems concerning the world.
Freudian Analysis & Jungian Synthesis
If one schematically compares the three principal tendencies in psychotherapy (Freud, Jung, Adler) with regard to the direction in which their central thought leads, one could say: The analytical method of Sigmund Freud looks for the causae efficientes, the causes of the later behavioural disturbances. Alfred Adler considers and treats the initial situation with regard to a causa finalis and both see in the drives the causae materiales. In Carl Gustav Jung's case the term 'synthesis' is based on his abandonment of the causal thinking of the alternative psychological methods of treatment. Jungian psychotherapy, therefore, is not an analytical procedure in the usual meaning of this term. Whatever the differences among Freud's, Jung's and Adler's extensive works on the therapeutic methodologies; scientists, artists, thinkers and practitioners accept the great importance of Freud's and Jung's studies for medicine, psychology, anthropology, religion, art, history, literature, etc.

The Demiurge
The logline goes like this- A gifted artist, a b-boy, a marine, a hacker, and an Angel attempt to stop Armageddon. The inspiration for writing this short series of books called "The Demiurge, A Hip Hop Conspiracy Fable" is because I've always been one of those minor percentage of people that questioned their reality, their life, and their own existence. This is a very short date with life itself, I realized at an early age. Facts are, I've been through so many rabbit holes in my search for truth that it finally came full circle. Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss, Destiny of Souls by Michael Newton, Far Journeys by Robert Monroe, these types of books and more, drew me into the into the untold astral worlds and dimensions hidden to man. These books struck me so hard that I wrote my first screenplay about the reincarnation when I was just a kid. Not only that, I discovered that I was actually one of the few percent of humans that could often recall their dreams vividly. On top of that, I was able to have outer body experiences where I could miraculously perform stunning capabilities that could rival things out of marvel comic books. I could walk up and down walls like Spider-Man. I could imagine myself at the beach and suddenly I would be there. I could be in a 7-11 and see a hot girl and suddenly start making out with her while she was just trying to buy a cup of noodles and go home. I could dive off of a cliff and before I hit the water, I could stop and do a 90 degree turn and hover over the ocean and speed along it and reach down and touch the cold water with my hand and then my heartbeat would race with so much excitement that this would cause me to wake up back in my bed. No joke. I'm sure many of you reading this have had similar lucid dreams in your lives. But I will go a step further... I bet each and everyone have! Except you don't remember it! Now, why would that be, you might ask? Well, you'll find out why in this book. If you like to be entertained while exploring deep dark subjects, then you are in for a wild ride. If you're easily offended and overly politically correct, then this NOT the book for you, please look elsewhere!
