Buddhism teaches that the mind is the source of 100 percent of all unhappiness: anxiety, agitation, desire, anger, grief. Through understanding how our mind works, it is possible to tame it—and to discover that happiness, wisdom, compassion, and clarity are actually inherent qualities in all of us. Much has been written of this subject, but Rob Nairn's book is the first to express the principles of Buddhist psychology in a way that is so easy to understand and enjoyable to read—while remaining remarkably accurate and complete. Each chapter includes exercises that bring the truth of the teaching home.

The author combines her wisdom and understanding of quantum mechanics and spiritual science, as they apply to educational programming, personal well-beingness, consciousness, and the creation of preferred realities.--From back cover.

Over the last ten years, The Law of Attraction has been the new crave. Success Consciousness defines the Law of Attraction as the attractive magnetic power that draws similar energies together. It manifests through the power of creation everywhere and in many ways. This law attracts thoughts, ideas, people, circumstances, and situations. It basically states that whatever you think about and focus on most, is what you attract into your experience thus giving you direct control over the circumstances of your life. It offers you some practical ways of harnessing this power using scientific prayer (Affirmations, Creative Visualization and Emotions)Although these principles have been used for centuries in Eastern Culture, most Americans treated this as if were a new concept when Rhonda Byrne released The Secret in 2006. Authors like Napoleon Hill and Dr. Joseph Murphy taught on this subject years ago and had some early success but it never caught fire. So, what we see today is a resurgence of old concepts with modern day applications. For traditional Christians, reading this book will be a bit uncomfortable at first.

We will discuss some key habits of highly effective people and explore the power of your subconscious mind. For the people that are already on this path, this book will be one of many experiences that will be attracted into your life on your journey towards complete enlightenment.Ancient teachers and philosophers have long understood that the power to move mountains comes from inside of us. The physical world that we see is only a reflection of what's been created internally. Since the beginning of time attempts to understand, define, and label this power that creates worlds has been the source of passionate debate and major conflict. This power has been called God, The Source, Allah, Love, The Heavenly Father, The Matrix, Yahweh, The Universe, The Creative Mind, The Creator, and Jehovah. Stephen Hawking calls it The Mind of God, Dr. Joseph Murphy calls it the Subconscious Mind, and Neville Goddard calls it "your own wonderful imagination." In this book, I use almost these labels interchangeably. And even though I realize that gender is an altogether human characteristic as opposed to a spiritual one, I also refer to this power as Him.

Cutting edge scientific research has shown that exposure to the right kind of environment during the first years of life actually affects the physical structure of a child's brain, vastly increasing the number of neuron branches—the "magic trees of the mind"—that help us to learn, think, and remember. At each stage of development, the brain's ability to gain new skills and process information is refined. As a leading researcher at the University of California at Berkeley, Marion Diamond has been a pioneer in this field of research. Now, Diamond and award-winning science writer Janet Hopson present a comprehensive enrichment program designed to help parents prepare their children for a lifetime of learning.
