If we are schizophrenic, the "The Divided Self" by R D Laing, and if we face an existential crisis, then "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind", by Julian Jaynes.
They say we can read ourselves out of the Catholic Church, so I presume we can read ourselves out of any religion, so we might try "Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, for muslims.
But how can we read ourselves out of mbti? Mbti is a cultural artefact of the USA. From the beginning it was a business protected by copywrite. Mbti builds narcissism and takes advantage of it. Mbti is part of the environment of the USA and all we can do in the USA is respond to our narcissistic environment. In the US narcissism is good, and psychological health is suspect.
So how can we step outside the narcissistic environment of the USA? Well, we are creating a new environment of CANZUK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and Britain, a psychologically healthy environment to which to respond.
Why do you use the prefix "we" Mole? Also who says the things you mention in your posts?
The literate individual use 'I' , while the etribe use 'we'.
C'mon, the book is dead, the author of the book is dead, the God of the book is dead, as is the Author of the Universe. Yet we live in our etribe of typology central.
Well, Lark, I quote the authors of the books, so that's who says the things I mention in my post.
I've read both of those books and I did not read either of them saying it was possible to "read ourselves out of the Catholic Church". Is there a chance that you just found in those books what you wanted to? It sounds it from what you've posted here.
You say that and all about the etribe but I dont see it Mole, I dont see a single other poster using the strange vernacular or turn of phrase that you are using. So its probably not as you say it is at all. I'm not criticizing you and I hope you are not offended. Its just something you could think about, if you like. Or not. Your call.
I try not to be offended, Lark, and I accept your call.
Other posters don't see what I see because they are driving forward looking at the rear vision mirror as an individual 'I', while the etribe is rushing through the windscreen with 'we'.
It will take a crash to turn their eyes from the rear vision mirror to the windscreen.
And we will be be waiting at the bottom of the cliff with an ambulance.
Can you please recommend books for self help and self improvement? I just needed it for my research. Thanks!
Where did you get a copy of it on CD? Thanks for the answer!
