Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The Interactions Between Instinct and Intellect and its Impact on Human Behavior Length: 326 Pages Spirituality fragments humans into theists and atheists. Believers take every mystical claim of their faiths as facts, while atheists dismiss them as superstitions. From this emerges an irreconcilable contradiction and endlessly debates. The improper understanding of the human mind inevitably leads huge number of people to misunderstand many aspects of human affairs hat also includes religion. Thus, both sides render their mutual points of contention that have little relevance to the true intent and meaning of religion and render the debates superficial and inconclusive. To understand religion we need to identify what in the mind compels spirituality that finds reflection in so many different religions. We need to discover why despite the vast differences in the appearances of all religions at the core they all advocate the same things and prohibit certain other things What invisible forces in the course of millennia have rendered them so similar, yet so different What practical human needs precipitated their creation and what forces have sustained them Instead, however, both sides find the roots of religion in heavens and thus, the practical aspects of religion get permanently hidden in the thick of religious mysticism. And therefore, the most obvious, but the superficial aspect of religion get studied and asserted by one side and refuted by the other. Thus, I argue that an objective understanding of faith can only be acquired through understanding the psychology of religion and the mental forces that compel it, as Sigmund Freud tried to find without much success. And that can be best understood in the context of the contradictions between humans' progressing intellect and stagnant instincts, as it is depicted in this book clearly. Important new questions and answers emerge from this perspective for the first time that issues serious challenges to believers and nonbelievers alike. For instance, if somehow Jesus, Mohammad and Moses were never born, would their 3,000,000,000 followers go without faith forever They did not appear in India and China and elsewhere and the indigenous people invented godless religions of their own. Then, what was the relevance of these great leaders and even God to larger picture of religion On the opposite side many refute religion for not being scientific and desire their demise, yet they cherish art that is just as unscientific The same people also claim that faith, being archaic, are useless for modern time and desire their eradication, but they never demand the same for state, which is just as old. This study also explores if faith and evolution are irreconcilable contradictions and then, proves that not only they are not in contradiction, but faith (not creation) is the essence of evolution, and we see this old phenomenon of faith in a new way and solve its mystery.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The Interactions Between Instinct and Intellect and its Impact on Human Behavior Length: 208 pages Mark Abraham was displeased by the phenomenon of politicking, although he studied it for a deeper and more accurate understanding of this fatigued term, 'politics,' as a major aspect of human affair. For reasons he could not identify as a student, he was never satisfied with the prevailing definitions. Thus, he asked his professors in both undergraduate and graduate school in the political science department to share their understanding of the term with him. Each of them seemed to have an understanding uniquely different from all the rest. Then, he realized that this was a vaguely understood phenomenon even by the professors in the field and he relented his efforts and concluded that, 'politics,' was one of the most used but the least understood phenomena. As he developed his own theories, he formulated that unlike the commonly perceived concept, politics is not just a profession for the few in each society, but it is a brand of behavior unique to humans that starts in early childhood. Thus, he formulated, 'to be instinctive is to be selfish. To be selfish and intelligent is to be political. Because instincts and intellect are permanent human fixtures, politicking that results for their cofunction also becomes a permanent human fixture.' This perception justifies Aristotle's claim that, 'man is a political animal.' The ultimate objective of politicking is to impose and thus, he tries to redefine it. He perceives politicking as a range of complex and manipulative deeds afforded by people to impose their will and interest on others against their will and interest. As such, it erodes innocence and is one of the least desirable of all human attributes. Yet the selfish nature of all instincts as the driving force behind politics is the sole force that governs the world of animals, thus politicking becomes the refined reflection of animals in man. Where animals use fangs, claws, venom, speed and brute force to subdue and devour their pray, humans apply politics that includes the use of brute force. Misconceiving this term greatly contributes to human conflicts at all levels, which is why most people unconsciously dislike politicking and politics worldwide.…
