Brunton, Paul.
The Hidden Teaching
Beyond Yoga. Rider 1941.
On philosophical idealism, and the differences between
philosophical thought and religious/mystical thought. out of
print.
---- The Notebooks of Paul Brunton. Larson Publications, USA. A series of books.
Steiner, Rudolf.
Knowledge of the Higher
Worlds. Rudolf Steiner Press 1993.
A guide to spiritual evolution, examining initiation and esoteric
training. However, his use of the term "soul" is not
the same as my use of it; sometimes he appears to use it in the
sense that I use "ego", and he uses the term "spirit"
for what I call the "soul". He uses the traditional
model of "body, soul and spirit", whereas I use the
model "body, ego and soul".
Before the advent of depth psychology, thinkers did not understand the boundary between the ego and the soul. The bad aspects of the ego were confused with the "body", and the "soul" seems to have been the noble aspects of the ego together with the actual soul.
Farthing, Geoffrey.
Deity Cosmos & Man.
Point Loma Publications, USA, 1993. (Available from The
Theosophical Society, London UK).
An introductory text to theosophy and the occult nature of
reality. However, theosophical books tend to use the term "Ego"
as synonymous with the way that I use the term "soul".
They use the term "personality" where modern books use
"ego".

World
of Emotion
http://www.emotion.discover-your-mind.co.uk/
* * *
The site The Strange World of Emotion contains articles on dynamic psychology from several of my other sites. It also contains a section on sexual themes, such as bonding, gender, symbolism and violence. The articles give a panoramic view of the usefulness of this kind of psychology for handling a wide range of difficult issues.
The site Discover Your Mind is my site on dynamic psychology and idealism. It also contains the basic articles on emotion and abreaction. Here I extensively apply my ideas on the mind to an exploration of the emotional dynamics that underlie many fields of individual and social activities. This exploration often opens new avenues for understanding old problems. Most articles in this section range between sexuality, belief and ethics, aspects of identity, power, attitudes, relationships and idealism.
The site Relative Mind, Relative Matter is on philosophy of science. It features ideas on the nature of relativity and proposes a solution to the wave-particle paradox in atomic physics. No maths are involved. The difficulty in conceptually understanding what happens within the atom is due to semantics. Western thinkers have consistently mis-understood the meaning of relative concepts. The boundaries between the three concepts of subjectivity, objectivity, and relativity have not been clearly dis-entangled.
The site The Subconscious Mind contains the two basic articles on emotion and abreaction that are on this site. It has other articles on the psycho-analytic experience, on method, and on the roots and patterns of identity. This site specialises in psycho-dynamic psychology and personal identity.
My site A Modern Thinker is on some traditional themes of philosophy: the pursuit of truth, belief and morality, mind, semiology and sign systems, language, metaphysics, handling paradoxes (especially in atomic physics), and my view of relativity. Overall, the ideas explore meaning in life and the way that consciousness makes sense of reality. No ability in logical analysis is required - only a wide view of life is needed. Many of my ideas are original and reflect my understanding of the subconscious mind. Come and look at new ideas in philosophy.
My site Patterns of Confusion features analyses of various forms of madness, confusion, violence, creative illness, and psycho-somatic disorders. The unconscious ideas that produce such states of mind are explained. In the articles on this website I only consider the causes and effects of psychological conditions on people ; I do not consider any possible physiological or genetic causes.
My newest site World of Emotion features just my ideas on emotion and abreaction. The three articles on emotion and the five articles on abreaction, which are on the psychology sites above, are split up into much smaller page sizes in order to make them easier to read and digest. Otherwise the content is the same.
