The Foundation of the Unconscious: Schelling, Freud and the Birth of the Modern Psyche
The unconscious, cornerstone of psychoanalysis, was a key twentieth-century concept and retains an enormous influence on psychological and cultural theory. Yet there is a surprising lack of investigation into its roots in the critical philosophy and Romantic psychology of the early nineteenth century, long before Freud. Why did the unconscious emerge as such a powerful idea? And why at that point? This interdisciplinary study breaks new ground in tracing the emergence of the unconscious through the work of philosopher Friedrich Schelling, examining his association with Romantic psychologists, anthropologists and theorists of nature.
Originally published in 1957 and now back in print to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary, The Hidden Persuaders is Vance Packard’s pioneering and prescient work revealing how advertisers use psychological methods to tap into our unconscious desires in order to "persuade" us to buy the products they are selling.
FBI agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock are faced with the case of an abducted child. But is the girl's kidnapper really her savior? Hoping to escape unwanted celebrity in the aftermath of a notorious incident, Ramsey Hunt settles in the Rockies, determined to bury himself in the safety of a solitary existence. But his isolation is shattered when he stumbles upon a small girl unconscious in the high-altitude forest. When strangers pursue Ramsey to his private meadow in an attempt to kill him and the girl, he's mystified that anyone would wish her harm. And the child can't shed any light on the subject: she's mute.
Unlocking Your Intuitive Power: How to Read the Energy of Anything (Audiobook, MP3)
Laura Alden Kamm has been described as a "walking MRI" for the accuracy of her medical intuition. She is the author of Intuitive Wellness and the founder and director of The Center for Applied Energy Medicine in Scottsdale, Arizona. This audio learning course contains six CDs, runs five-and-three-quarters hours, and has a 34-page study guide. Kamm has stated: "Intuition is both an insight from beyond the analytical level and a vehicle that allows us to tap into the collective unconscious. It's the ability to ask a direct question and receive a direct answer from a source we are all connected to. That's the magic of it. And everybody has the ability to do that. Everybody does."
Unconscious Memory Representations in Perception: Processes and mechanisms in the brain
Perceptual experience emerges from neural computations. Unconscious Memory Representations in Perception focuses on the role of implicit (non-conscious) memories in processing sensory information. Making sense of the wealth of information arriving at our senses requires implicit memories, which represent environmental regularities, contingencies of the sensory input, as well as general contextual knowledge.
