These early talks by Joel draw one into self-exploration as a living inner inquiry that can be done alone or in relationship. To this day people tell us the book has been a life-changing touchstone for them. It contains many elements that our later books develop further. It was partly through Krishnamurti that Joel realized our human capacity for self-reflexivity can be used to see how thought filters and biases perception. Mental filters affect emotions and shape experiences. Seeing the mind\u2019s mechanical aspects can bring a shift of awareness that alters the experiencing process. Breaking out of thought\u2019s limitations and subjective filters allows one to freshly meet the new.<\/p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><b>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/b><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joeldiana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Guru-Papers-cover_72-dpi-10pc.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1227 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joeldiana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Guru-Papers-cover_72-dpi-10pc.jpeg\" alt=\"Guru Cover 10pc\" width=\"162\" height=\"243\" \/><\/a><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\">The Guru Papers:<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b><i>Masks of Authoritarian Power<\/i><\/b><\/span><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<strong><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Joel Kramer &amp; Diana Alstad<\/span> \u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">(1993; ebook 2012)<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Exposing the dynamics of manipulation and how cultural factors cage the mind is a doorway to freeing the mind. <strong><i>The Guru Papers<\/i><\/strong> shows why people give up their power and how others take it.

Once internalized, this programming generates an \u201cinner authoritarian\u201d that becomes intertwined with self-control. This often leads to inner conflict or obsessive drivenness; it also justifies the self-righteous control of others. Unlivable ideals adulating \u201cselfless purity\u201d can undermine self-trust and generate guilt. Self-mistrust induces people to give their power away and look to others for answers, meaning, and even \u201csalvation.\u201d<b>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Becoming<b> <\/b>conscious of how an authoritarian \u201cvirus\u201d lives in us helps to disempower it, freeing untapped potential.

While <strong><em>The\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Passionate Mind<\/em><\/strong> focuses on how thought, belief, fear, and desire can condition and limit us, the new coauthored book includes their evolutionary functions as well as drawbacks. Incorporating new findings about the brain and our nature as a self-reflective, thinking, talking social species broadens the inquiry. Understanding better what in our complex makeup brought humanity to its perilous situation and where our potential lies can help reveal the nature of our challenges and how to meet them.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The new book also extends the inquiry from the personal to social arenas, worldviews, global concerns, and evolution. Humanity\u2019s problems stem partially from deep-seated social conditioning and limiting beliefs. Worldviews are primary lenses influencing perception that underlie beliefs, values, identities, and much behavior. They affect the nature of the social fabric and how we treat each other and our planet. Dysfunctional worldviews based on dogma, outdated beliefs, or magical thinking are serious obstacles to creating a more humane and viable world.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cOtherworldly\u201d spirituality needs to be reframed to focus on this world and this lifetime. Traditional spiritual worldviews generally don\u2019t address the quandaries of power, gender, genes, and socio-political realities. Bringing spirituality down to Earth by connecting andtaking into account these arenas that are typically kept separate creates a more inclusive, realistic, and relevant worldview. This better captures where we humans find ourselves and supports us by promoting social evolution\u2014a key to thriving and surviving.<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWhere we are as a species is an expression of who we are and have been\u2014not who we can be. Developmentally, humanity\u2019s current precarious state represents our adolescence, not our essence. The evolutionary factors that made humanity successful are now putting us and other species at risk, forcing us to evolve personally and socially. This involves developing our extraordinary social potential by examining what in our nature, beliefs, and institutions is propelling us toward non-viability. Seeing clearly what works for us and what doesn\u2019t has its own evolutionary momentum. The driving force within evolution lives in each of us\u2014offering hope. By enlarging our capacity to become conscious participants in the process that made us, we take our fate more into our own hands.\u201d \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><b>\u2014<\/b>Quote from the <b>\u201cEvolution\u201d<\/b> chapter in the \u201c<b>Map of the Book<\/b>\u201d for <i>The Passionate Mind Revisited<\/i>*<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><b>\u00a0 \u00a0_____________________________________________________________________________________________<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><i>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"> *<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"> This<b>\u00a0\u201cMap<\/b><strong>\u201d of <i>The Passionate Mind Revisited <\/i><\/strong>is also in the e-book.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Connections\u00a0between Our Books Read online\u00a0or\u00a0Download pdf\u00a0\u00a0(2 pages) Our books all aim at expanding consciousness and freeing the human spirit from limiting conditioning and beliefs.
