This book helps you see, think, and feel back together those parts of yourself the Western mind reduced to rubble. If you feel integration to be unnatural, that’s your problem at a glance. I apologize that the day is dawning and there’s work we need to do, but hello. It’s time to wake up.

Lucidity is consciousness itself. It exists in a realm of experience beyond words; achieving it is not an intellectual exercise. To become lucid is a transformation of emotions, memories, and thought patterns to reach an altered state. It’s not your image of the walls that you want to dissolve when you become lucid, it’s your image of reality. This is the first audiobook to approach lucid dreaming through hypnosis. Each chapter has a trance induction that offers you an experiential tour of altered states.

A brilliant recasting of dreams as a different way of thinking, one that develops structures that feed back to your intellect and emotions. You don’t remember your dreams because you don’t know how to think like they do, and when you can’t follow them recall is a struggle, understanding is confused, communication fails, you are of no help in the process, and you continue to prefer the uncertain channels of habitual thinking.

Humans employ three ways of thinking, and we attempt to integrate them to create a strong understanding of the world: rational thought, emotional thought, and associative thought. We have conscious control over our rational thoughts and from these we find mechanisms for action. Emotions give weight and priority to our decisions. Aside from occasional bursts of insight, associative thought occurs exclusively in our dreams.

These two volumes enumerate 328 lessons extracted from The Learning Project. I added topics of my own—such as the benefits of bad teachers—and others recognized as important, such as the decision biases enumerated by the economists Tversky and Kahneman. Various authors present guidance for thinking. Most have a prejudice that espouses logic, reason, intuition, emotion, reward, or practicality. My goal is more general. It is to examine the interaction between the environment and our minds that affects how we learn.

Becoming Supergenius has grown on the scorched earth that is the current state of learning, teaching, and education. I asked 35 people, with over 1,600 years of accumulated experience, how and why they learned. From their answers I resolved 328 learning secrets that are part of any person's journey to find their full potential.

These chronicles mix physics, medicine, hypnotherapy, technology, culture, learning, politics, and the news surrounding the coronavirus from March through June of 2020. This is the first phase of the pandemic, before the expected second infection, and before any vaccine. This mixing of perspectives is unusual. Few authors have the background to support it. Fewer recognize that integrating many perspectives is necessary to understand what has and is continuing to happen. The virus is not one thing having many impacts; it is many things happening with the virus at the center.

Sleep is a set of states of mind. It is an integral part of your life and not an isolated part of it. Insomnia describes the condition in which you cannot reach or cannot stabilize yourself in these states. Insomnia, in general, as well as other sleep dysfunctions are the result of your inability to support your mind's natural states, transitions, and functions. These problems do not have medical, mechanical, or chemical solutions.

Operating Manual for Enlightenment: Recreating Your Mind explores how we see and learn to see the world. It takes you on your own journey into what you consider reality and asks how you can make it better. This journey enters those areas you take for granted: thoughts, sensations, emotions, sense of place, and purpose. The book’s aim is not to explain, but to prepare you for change. Change that you must carry out yourself. Instant Enlightenment will tell you why you must focus on this journey, for your own sake and for the benefit of us all.

We are at a watershed moment in our understanding of the mind, after which psychology will change. We are coming to understand that what s important is not what you think but what you can think. The Operating Manual is an intellectual, emotional, and neurological road map to the integration you don’t yet have.
