Conscious Parenting Mindful Living Course for Parents - Nataša Pantović Nuit

Help Kids Learn by Nataša Pantović (Author of Conscious Parenting Course). Video Material from the Course. In storytelling (through role playing) process we are connecting our individual stories with collective story - after all, family is a collective (community) so it is more than essential to practice and to bring to our senses this model of collaboration in which adults and kids have equal voice, even goals. According to Greek creation myths Chaos (Greek: χάος, khaos) is the initial "gap" created by the original separation of heaven and earth. This disorder is beginning of creation, place to search for inspiration. In modern world Chaos is a gap in creativity, disharmony between science and art, rational and irrational, the world of reason and the world of emotions, the gap we are trying to bridge, to unite by our organization.

Mindful Being - Nataša Pantović Nuit
Conscious Parenting Mindful Living Course for Parents - Nataša Pantović Nuit

What is Creativity? 'Left and Right Brain Development. From yogis to modern thinkers, examining tools to exercises both brain hemispheres. Alchemy of Love Self-Development Courses.

To purify mind we start with the consciousness that energy follows thought. It is important that we free ourselves of negative beliefs and thoughts, that we stop gossiping, judging or criticizing and that we work on developing virtues.

Our soul whispers to us constantly. When we understand the power of conscious and subconscious mind and the way the soul communicates with us, we can help ourselves live in harmony.'

Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain - David Eagleman

Perception is a television series on a neuropsychiatrist who do lectures in university and also helped the FBI in solving crime.

 

The interesting part is that the main character Daniel Pierce played by Eric McCormack, who has mental disorder of schizophrenia. 

 

It helps, maybe, put a more positive light on people who are suffering from mental illness but are currently medicated and managing the disease and still lead meaningful life.

 

Another good stuff about this is the consultant on board, David Eagleman, a real life neuroscientist who also wrote the popular science book "Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain". 

 

The book is for beginner, which many reviews stated that it does not contain enough "meat" to encourage the readers who already know the basic.

 

It is hard to read this after reading Steven Pinker, so this one has to wait a long while. 

 

Back to the TV series Perception.

 

I like it a lot because it got bits from Incognito and it is not some half-ass theory blowing out of the writers' ass. 

 

I like the fact that goes with the show. Presenting false information should be an offence that television shows that did that would get a penalty for not doing enough research or not hiring the right persons to be their consultant. 

 

I don't watch a lot of TV for that reasons. Plus there are just too many books waiting for me.

Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain - David Eagleman

This is an interesting video by David Eagleman.

 

We are trying to make sense of our mind and how our brain.

 

Explaining  what we now know about the brain. I've not read the book yet but it sounds interesting.

 

I'm hungry for a good read, and reading own and not read "Steven Pinker" is good. But I'm running out.

 

Need more books. I do prefer either very brainy books, or young adults books. The inbetween is the one I grow distance from.

 

The new Helen Fielding book is out, but if it is another 40 something missing out on what she could do when she was still young and free, I'm not buying it. As a older person, one has more knowledge to move forward, not necessary upward in the world, but forward as in understand a bit more of the world we live in, and start caring about the policy of the government that disadvantaged minority or the poor, or system that need to fix so that more people coexist happily.

 

A book on how she still worries about her weight, or her nails would make me think she is just a moron. If she lost interest in sex, let her partner has sex with someone else. Why not? If she is not doing, let someone else do it.

 

I have not read the book and should not pre-judge it. But I'm tired of "women centered" book still center around men.

 

As in the title.

The Believing Brain: From Ghosts and Gods to Politics and Conspiracies---How We Construct Beliefs and Reinforce Them as Truths - Michael Shermer
Thinking, Fast and Slow - Daniel Kahneman

There! I said it.

 

I'm anti-religion. Anti-theism is a position like opposing the anti-vaccination movement. You see something harmful, and people are hurting, you speak out against it.

Religious deluded did not grow out of a vacuum. Religious deluded are form, either as victims of brainwashing as children. Or they are just fooled into believing in a lot of bullshit and stop thinking.

 

Once they stop thinking and stop asking questions, they act like mob, gang, and would act out in ways that is harmful, without triggering their internal mechanism that would change their self image from good to bad.

That's happened to a lot of people. It is a horrible thing to see. Religious people also compartmentalize and could act logically in a lot of areas, except that they have already have a preconception base on religious bullshit, whatever this bullshit it might be.

So, when you deal with religious deluded who are doing really horrible things, doing harm to people, you would not be surprised to see how they still see themselves as "good".

 

That would make you want you to smack them in the face and ask them to wake up.

 

This is all too general. So, let talks about cases and incidents.

 

In the video, it is about a runaway child pride Nada. Listen to her in this video with English subtitle. 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqa9tt2eS5M 

 

Now, looked at the religious deluded leader, talking shit and reinforcing that raping a child against her will is fine in his religion. In his religious deluded mind, his religious rule is more important than the basic human rights of a child. 

 

That's religion. It is a disease of the mind, and it eats away compassion and logic, and in its place, diseased rules and concept that make up of bullshit that they called religion. 

 

A child, being married, could not cry rape because there is no such thing as rape in the Islam religion. Girl is being command by this shitty religion to be raped and called it sex. 

 

What makes the parents of the child married her off? Well, their bullshit religion said it is okay. Their bullshit religious leaders said it is okay. Their religious deluded neighbors said it is okay. 

 

It is not okay. Religion that taught that is not okay. It is bullshit. It is child abusing bullshit. 

 

There is no need for respect for such mind-disease. No need at all. Why should I give special respect because your mind is being fucked by Allah? Why should I give special respect because your mind is being fucked by Jesus? 

 

No. No respect. If you are religious deluded, you have really horrible disease in your mind. And I'm glad that I've a chance to point it out you so that you might start thinking on your own, instead of base everything on religious bullshit. 

 

But why human believe in such bullshit? 

 

Well, we believe in a lot of bullshit. If you read "The believing Brain", it explains a bit about why.

 

We are using our System one to think about religion. That's from Thinking fast and Slow. System one is lazy and really didn't think it through.

 

If the brain is not lazy, it would think, "wait a minute, a young child is too young to consent to sex. She is too young to be married off to a much older man. She should be in school, and not be married off to be a wife.". A normal person would question the religious concept of marry off young girl. 

 

If the brain is not lazy, it would think, "virgin birth? That's does not make sense. Where is the chromosomes come from? Did the religious text claimed that Jesus was virgin birth, but who contribute to sex determination chromosomes? Jesus's mom has XX chromosomes, and only male chromosomes have the XY chromosomes. So, the contribution of DNA might be a male in order to give birth to a male child. Either this god has XY chromosomes or this young pregnant Mary was lying." 

 

See? Even beginner level biology students know that. 

 

It is uneasy to ask this question. Because religious deluded are not opened minded. They dislike questioning based on logical reason or science. They like to insert their religious bullshit, and when questioned, cry and demand respect for their lack of answers and stupidity. 

 

More on that later. 

 

I think it is worth exploring. From a place where Jesus worshipers are linked with World Z and Walking Dead.  This is the level of of openness I'm used to when it comes to ridiculous assertion by religious deluded.
