Book excerpt: There is an ancient belief that he who rules the self is greater than he who has captured a city. To rule the self, you have to have no fear, no anger, and no insecurities. In Emotional Freedom with No Fear, No Anger, and No Insecurity, over three dozen behaviors, tools, and skills are provided to help you achieve command of the self. You are not an emotionally free person until you have raised your level of consciousness to the extent that it allows you to control the thoughts that come into your mind. We may be advanced technologically, educationally, and intellectually, but we languish at a low, dysfunctional level of social development. The lack of acceptance we find in our social culture has impaired or damaged our self-worth. The opinions that we have of ourselves can have more of an impact on our lives emotionally, physically, mentally, and psychologically than anything else.A lack of understanding of our self has kept us in the dark about our real self. Gaining knowledge and discovering how we function in our relationship with our self and with others will open up a whole new realm and reveal a wealth of information.This enlightenment will allow you to take many different avenues and paths most suitable to you, and reveal answers and solutions about how you should live your life so that you can be the leader of the self who is in charge of the self.

Download or read book Surveillance in the Time of Insecurity written by Torin Monahan and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Threats of terrorism, natural disaster, identity theft, job loss, illegal immigration, and even biblical apocalypse--all are perils that trigger alarm in people today. Although there may be a factual basis for many of these fears, they do not simply represent objective conditions. Feelings of insecurity are instilled by politicians and the media, and sustained by urban fortification, technological surveillance, and economic vulnerability. Surveillance in the Time of Insecurity fuses advanced theoretical accounts of state power and neoliberalism with original research from the social settings in which insecurity dynamics play out in the new century. Torin Monahan explores the counterterrorism-themed show 24, Rapture fiction, traffic control centers, security conferences, public housing, and gated communities, and examines how each manifests complex relationships of inequality, insecurity, and surveillance. Alleviating insecurity requires that we confront its mythic dimensions, the politics inherent in new configurations of security provision, and the structural obstacles to achieving equality in societies.

Download or read book The Wisdom of Insecurity written by Alan Watts and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed philosopher shows us how—in an age of unprecedented anxiety—we can find fulfillment by embracing the present and living more fully in the now. He is "the perfect guide for a course correction in life" (from the Introduction by Deepak Chopra). The brain can only assume its proper behavior when consciousness is doing what it is designed for: not writhing and whirling to get out of present experience, but being effortlessly aware of it. Alan Watts draws on the wisdom of Eastern philosophy and religion in this timeless and classic guide to living a more fulfilling life. His central insight is more relevant now than ever: when we spend all of our time worrying about the future and lamenting the past, we are unable to enjoy the present moment—the only one we are actually able to inhabit. Watts offers the liberating message that true certitude and security come only from understanding that impermanence and insecurity are the essence of our existence. He highlights the futility of endlessly chasing moving goalposts, whether they consist of financial success, stability, or escape from pain, and shows that it is only by acknowledging what we do not know that we can learn anything truly worth knowing. In The Wisdom of Insecurity, Watts explains complex concepts in beautifully simple terms, making this the kind of book you can return to again and again for comfort and insight in challenging times. “Perhaps the foremost interpreter of Eastern disciplines for the contemporary West, Watts had the rare gift of ‘writing beautifully the unwritable.’” —Los Angeles Times
