Anger #05 The Other-Than-Conscious Mind
Comment: Most of us live with many internal conflicts — for me, the metaphor of this post is highly useful as a frame for this style of conflict. Unfortunately, for most human beings, especially those who have not exposed to the skills of living necessary in our complex culture, the other-than-conscious mind is a place…

Anger #04 The Triune Brain
MacQuarrie Email Program #04 — How We Function: The Triune Brain Commentary: A huge advance in knowledge of the brain has occurred in the past century; it is astounding what we have learned. However, at the same time, we have learned relatively little about the mind. An assumption of the modern neurosciences is that…

Anger #03 Awareness and Discipline
The tasks in this post: the development of awareness (task #1) and discipline (task #2).

A question of how to release anger!
Anger: the canary in the coal mine I’ve said earlier why I do anger management. I am not an advocate of anger; rather I am skilled at its management. I also believe that there is little effective teaching in our society as to how to manage anger. Most of the time, we are told we should…

Why I do anger management
In one sense, this post is a digression on my current theme of visioning a mature society. But it also gets to the heart of the matter of how we are to get to this vision. For me, anger is the canary in the coal mine, and it has movement. First, what a blog offers…

Blogs I Follow: Richard Rohr
As you will note under Blogs I Follow, I subscribe to the blog of Richard Rohr at Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC). I do so because I find him to be the most spiritually mature individual of whom I am aware. (Overall my previous mentors, listed in my most recent post, also fall into…

How much do you know about the American 2nd Amendment?
A very interesting article, reminding me that “believing is seeing.” I will soon be presenting a post on Beliefs and Values. Opinion: What America’s gun fanatics won’t tell you.
