Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward the end of his life, the Russian psychologist L.S. Vygotsky turned away from his earlier work that he has become famous for only to sow the seeds for a new theory. In this theory, affect was to play a central role, there was to be a primacy of social relations, and anything mental (mind, thought, self, other, knowledge) was an event rather than a thing. This is essentially a transactional perspective. In this book, the author articulates a transactional psychology of education drawing on the works of G.H. Mead, J. Dewey, G. Bateson, F. Mikhailov, and E. Il’enkov. All theoretical positions are developed out of videotaped exchanges, thereby giving concrete character to every psychological concept articulated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What altered states of consciousness—the dissolution of feelings of time and self—can tell us about the mystery of consciousness. During extraordinary moments of consciousness—shock, meditative states and sudden mystical revelations, out-of-body experiences, or drug intoxication—our senses of time and self are altered; we may even feel time and self dissolving. These experiences have long been ignored by mainstream science, or considered crazy fantasies. Recent research, however, has located the neural underpinnings of these altered states of mind. In this book, neuropsychologist Marc Wittmann shows how experiences that disturb or widen our everyday understanding of the self can help solve the mystery of consciousness. Wittmann explains that the relationship between consciousness of time and consciousness of self is close; in extreme circumstances, the experiences of space and self intensify and weaken together. He considers the emergence of the self in waking life and dreams; how our sense of time is distorted by extreme situations ranging from terror to mystical enlightenment; the experience of the moment; and the loss of time and self in such disorders as depression, schizophrenia, and epilepsy. Dostoyevsky reported godly bliss during epileptic seizures; neurologists are now investigating the phenomenon of the epileptic aura. Wittmann describes new studies of psychedelics that show how the brain builds consciousness of self and time, and discusses pilot programs that use hallucinogens to treat severe depression, anxiety, and addiction. If we want to understand our consciousness, our subjectivity, Wittmann argues, we must not be afraid to break new ground. Studying altered states of consciousness leads us directly to the heart of the matter: time and self, the foundations of consciousness.

Book excerpt: It is imperative that humanity understand that the so-called "problems in the world" are nothing but varying iterations and repercussions of just a singular problem: the human mind and its harmful state of subjectivity.The fact is, society has subjugated itself to an unbalanced control system, which is not only reducing its already-damaged introspective capacity, but is sinking with ever-greater impact into a deep and frozen layer of unconsciousness, suffering, and obfuscation.In complete ignorance of his mind, the human being adapts to these unnatural circumstances, and tries to get ahead by its own principle of survival. Nevertheless, he soon leaves this world without even having managed to know the true purpose of his existence.This work, "a progressive approach to dissolving the ego and attaining true objectivity", not only answers to the question of the fundamental unit, the ego, asking what is it? How is it formed? How and at what moment is it transformed into selfishness? What does it represent in its deepest meaning? It also addresses the higher possibilities in the human being, such as the ability to extract meaning belonging to other scales of resolution, to other planes of the mind, through the acquisition of a new state of consciousness, thus being able to understand, in a relatively short time, the true sense and background of existence.The content of the work, divided into three sections, aims at fracturing the invisible and powerful psychological pillars that sustain the basis of subjective thought, and at correcting through understanding the mental and neuronal structure of the individual. These lead him to return autonomously to the use and control of his rational thought, obeying to now wider, deeper, and objective meaning, which in turn allows him to increase the quality of his emotional states.
