Everyone knows how important positive thoughts are and the consequences of negative thoughts. However, we go beyond this understanding and explain my "thoughts concept" in the form of the very light "micro thoughts" to the heavier "macro thoughts." Included are topics of flowers, plants, animals, physics, astronomy, and much more. Focusing on these amazing topics will open doors to many positive thoughts. Our lives are guided by our thoughts, and our thoughts not only determine who we are but who we will become.

Ira Presslaffs Thoughts: Eighty and Still Learning presents a memoir by a strong-minded eighty-year-old man living with his dog, Rocky, in a small apartment on the east side of Indianapolis. He wonders how it got this way and how he got there. Writing in a conversational style, Presslaff speaks to those who have had a good marriage gone bad and to those who were the bad kids in the back of the classroom but learned to overcome their problems. He talks about his love for and marriage to his former wife, Mimsie Price Presslaff; they had twenty-three very good years before it all went south. Presslaff also unflinchingly describes his efforts to discover why his children choose to have no contact with him. He describes love and comfort he takes from his dog and other animals. In many ways, they have been and are his best friends. Presslaff has no desire that you agree with him concerning many of his ideas and opinions; he offers them as topics to ponder as you go through your day. His memoir represents his own perspective on what he has learned in his wide range of experiences over the course of eighty years.

Cassian taught that real intimacy with God in prayer demands renouncing one's former way of life, the thoughts belonging to that former way of life, and one's very idea of God. In Thoughts Matter, Mary Margaret Funk focuses on the second of these: renouncing the thoughts belonging to one's former way of life. Her eight chapters focus on different thoughts"-food, sex, anger, dejection, acedia (profound weariness of the soul), vainglory (taking credit for good actions), and pride. Funk explains well how failure to control these thoughts can undermine our spiritual life, and she instructs readers on how effectively to overcome these thoughts and to focus instead on thoughts in harmony with God's will. The result is an experience of joy, hope, and freedom from enslavement to our appetites. Readers will come away enlightened, strengthened, and inspired to delve more deeply into a life of intimacy with God.

Where do spontaneous thoughts come from? It may be surprising that the seemingly straightforward answers "from the mind" or "from the brain" are in fact an incredibly recent understanding of the origins of spontaneous thought. For nearly all of human history, our thoughts - especially the most sudden, insightful, and important - were almost universally ascribed to divine or other external sources. Only in the past few centuries have we truly taken responsibility for their own mental content, and finally localized thought to the central nervous system - laying the foundations for a protoscience of spontaneous thought. But enormous questions still loom: what, exactly, is spontaneous thought? Why does our brain engage in spontaneous forms of thinking, and when is this most likely to occur? And perhaps the question most interesting and accessible from a scientific perspective: how does the brain generate and evaluate its own spontaneous creations? Spontaneous thought includes our daytime fantasies and mind-wandering; the flashes of insight and inspiration familiar to the artist, scientist, and inventor; and the nighttime visions we call dreams. This Handbook brings together views from neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, phenomenology, history, education, contemplative traditions, and clinical practice to begin to address the ubiquitous but poorly understood mental phenomena that we collectively call 'spontaneous thought.' In studying such an abstruse and seemingly impractical subject, we should remember that our capacity for spontaneity, originality, and creativity defines us as a species - and as individuals. Spontaneous forms of thought enable us to transcend not only the here and now of perceptual experience, but also the bonds of our deliberately-controlled and goal-directed cognition; they allow the space for us to be other than who we are, and for our minds to think beyond the limitations of our current viewpoints and beliefs.

The ordinary manner in which we carry ourselves physically, our automatic gestures, and the accustomed comforts of our bodily habits inadvertently reinforce fear's hold on our lives. What Are You Afraid Of? explores how our fears often arise from physical and mental triggers that have been learned over the course of our early lives-and can be un-learned. Fear, explains award-winning movement teacher Lavinia Plonka, is not the product of intractable psychological demons; instead, it often revolves around repetitive body/mind cues. By teaching the body new habits through a series of exercises and postures, the cycle of fear can be broken.

TRILOGY BOOK ONE includes three books from my numerous writings. As a writer and philosopher these many years, its been my pleasure to ponder the world in ways that most people dont have time to do. In my wanderings, I wonder if I am getting any closer to the Truth. How can any of us distinguish for sure? I suppose all we can know is that, as long as we are alive, we still have the opportunity to keep searching, while happily delving into this adventurous world of amazement, wonder and awe.
