Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancestral ritual in early China was an orchestrated dance between what was present (the offerings and the living) and what was absent (the ancestors). The interconnections among the tangible elements of the sacrifice were overt and almost mechanical, but extending those connections to the invisible guests required a medium that was itself invisible. Thus in early China, ancestral sacrifice was associated with focused thinking about the ancestors, with a structured mental effort by the living to reach out to the absent forebears and to give them shape and existence. Thinking about the ancestors—about those who had become distant—required active deliberation and meditation, qualities that had to be nurtured and learned. This study is a history of the early Chinese ancestral cult, particularly its cognitive aspects. Its goals are to excavate the cult’s color and vitality and to quell assumptions that it was no more than a simplistic and uninspired exchange of food for longevity, of prayers for prosperity. Ancestor worship was not, the author contends, merely mechanical and thoughtless. Rather, it was an idea system that aroused serious debates about the nature of postmortem existence, served as the religious backbone to Confucianism, and may even have been the forerunner of Daoist and Buddhist meditation practices.

Book excerpt: Ancestral Memories is a description of World History as it is preserved by the Dragon Families of Transylvania. These families trace their history to a time before the Global Flood that occurred 12,000 years ago. In Europe the Dragon Families are acknowledged by other Royal Families as the Oldest Dynasty in Europe. The Dragon Families were and continue to be guided by the hereditary priesthood of Hungarian culture. This priesthood is represented by two families, de Veres and Fenyes.In 1970 the author of this book was initiated into the lineage of the Fenyes Family in a ritual called Shadi. During that initiation he was shown a version of history that is significantly different that the version of history presented by Western Academia.The decision to share the substance of this alternative history was based on the idea that the belief in this information has played a major role in shaping historic events. Many of those events make no sense without a full understanding of the motivations that at times have led to conflict and war.The decision to release this information is based on the belief that the more we understand the motivation behind acts of violence the more we can prevent them from happening again.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ENCOUNTERS AFTER THE SUNSETOftentimes while sitting before a bonfire, I become mesmerized by the flames with their never-ending dance. Soon my eyes focus on them to the exclusion of anything else. After some time I sense that nondescript presences start lurking quietly on the fringes of the fire. These friendly spirits are preterit beings who in their moment made considerable contributions to my genome: my long gone ancestors.The quest to rescue their memories from "among rocks and papers" has been a long journey. The fire has burnt hot and bright, and a few distinct individuals have emerged from among those faded ghosts in my distant past: Saxon and Cornish miners, illiterate peasants and cultured professionals, freed slaves, dispossessed Indians, and Spanish conquistadors and colonists, inter alios. I have collected their stories in this book titled "Encounters after the Sunset" as a bridge for future generations. With the flames now subsided into quiet embers, I will dare claim to have done my duty. It is my hope that other folks will take on the worthy cause of un-forgetting their predecessors and the teachings they might have left behind. In years to come, I may well be patiently awaiting to hear their stories from the blurry edges of a charmed woodfire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current theories about human memory have been shaped by clinical observations and animal experiments. This doctrine holds that the medial temporal lobe subserves one memory system for explicit or declarative memories, while the basal ganglia subserves a separate memory system for implicit or procedural memories, including habits. Cortical areas outside the medial temporal lobe are said to function in perception, motor control, attention, or other aspects of executive function, but not in memory. 'The Evolution of Memory Systems' advances dramatically different ideas on all counts. It proposes that several memory systems arose during evolution and that they did so for the same general reason: to transcend problems and exploit opportunities encountered by specific ancestors at particular times and places in the distant past. Instead of classifying cortical areas in terms of mutually exclusive perception, executive, or memory functions, the authors show that all cortical areas contribute to memory and that they do so in their own ways-using specialized neural representations. The book also presents a proposal on the evolution of explicit memory. According to this idea, explicit (declarative) memory depends on interactions between a phylogenetically ancient navigation system and a representational system that evolved in humans to represent one's self and others. As a result, people embed representations of themselves into the events they experience and the facts they learn, which leads to the perception of participating in events and knowing facts. 'The Evolution of Memory Systems' is an important new work for students and researchers in neuroscience, psychology, and biology.
