Connection Of The Ancient Mystical Traditions Of The Indigenous Peoples Of The Americas With The Catalog Of Human Population by Andrey Davydov,Olga Skorbatyuk Pdf

The indigenous peoples of the Americas have widespread beliefs related to personal guardian spirits. Natives believe that for any success in life there must be protection by a supernatural power. And, in this, they are absolutely correct. The Natives deified guardian spirits since ancient times; and, as it turned out, not in vain because they are directly related to people, to their psyche. All the guardian spirits of the ancient Natives were part of nature. The Natives made animals, plants and so forth their totems, and not in vain, as they really gave people real power and real super abilities, made them powerful, invincible, were able to prevent diseases and heal, as well as “avert troubles.” Beliefs of the ancient Natives were true: kind guardian spirits exist. And, it has been discovered that the relation between natural images and the human psyche is much stronger than it is currently thought. Scientists have found an ancient book, which is much older than the Bible and other sacred books. According to some researchers, it appeared in the 20th century BC. This book has been decrypted in the 80s of the 20th century in Russia by the researcher Andrey Davydov. It is nothing more than a description of 293 models of the human psyche, which are recorded by natural images. And, these images are very similar to those that ancient Natives worshiped. All these images are objects of nature: various plants and animals, luminaries like the sun and the moon, rivers, lakes, swamps, rocks, minerals, metals and so on. Among them there are deities, spirits, and chimeras. Natural images of psyche (soul) cardinally differentiate one person from another, even though every person’s body is designed in the same way. They completely determine a person’s character, habits, life algorithms, preferences, likes, aspirations, desires, and any actions; in other words, by nature every human is original. Any person can get incredible strength and might, get healing, help from personal guardian spirits, which every person has. But, since people do not know their natural images, they are forced to invent artificial images or borrow them from culture, in order to have some kind of basis for existence and functioning. However, inventing artificial images is extremely harmful and dangerous, and also meaningless. Artificial images block human ability, and make a person worthless, weak, helpless, unlucky, and very unhappy. He suffers one defeat after another. They also make people primitive, alike, and unoriginal. Any person can buy information about his/her natural image or images (because each person has not just one, but many, using the language of the ancient Natives, “guardian spirits”). Most of these images are unknown in this civilization. A person can purchase information about one of his/her images, and then go to any artist, a designer who will draw this image. Anyone can use this drawing as they please. For example: for an amulet,a tattoo, interior design (paintings, posters, colors, household items, etc.), as well as for the design of clothes, hairstyles, jewelry, accessories, cars and so on.

People Born In October by Andrey Davydov,Olga Skorbatyuk,Kate Bazilevsky Pdf

ANTI-HOROSCOPE: HUMAN “SOFTWARE” (Series of 12 books) Did you know that those people, who were born on October 5th of leap years or October 6th of common years are not only people-accumulators in the broadest sense of the word and natural hoarders, but also they can accumulate so many negative emotions towards someone that no apologies or pleas for forgiveness will help?.. Or, did you know that those people, who were born on October 7th of leap years ор October 8th of common years are not only authoritarian individuals, who are strong, active, possess formidable grace, ambitious, eager to measure strength, subdue, control everything and everyone, but also for the sake of achieving their goals are ready to become werewolves (they can instantly change their appearance)? Hence the question: are you sure that you know people, whom you think you know as your own self? Yes, of course, you know them, if we take word-play into account. You really do know them, like you know yourself—that is: just as bad! You know your own and other people's masks and roles, but that is all. You do not believe this? Then, open this book and see for yourself! This book is for those people, who are fed up with "horoscopism," who are tired of listening to nonsense about themselves and other people from psychologists or their "all-knowing" relatives, friends and acquaintances. It will help you save not just some time in your life, but your whole life because otherwise you will spend your entire life on something that is a priori impossible. And, it is impossible not because you are idiots, but because Homo sapiens cannot fully know themselves and other people without an external (and, most importantly, objective) source. Perhaps that is the reason why humanity was left "factory instructions" to each one of us—the Catalog of Human Population. Yes, that is right! There exists the Catalog of Human Population, which you can open and find out everything about any person you are interested in (including yourself)! Information about people presented in this book (and in other eleven books in the series titled Anti-Horoscope: Human "Software") is from there, and not from your favorite horoscope.

ANTI-HOROSCOPE: HUMAN “SOFTWARE” (Series of 12 books) Do you know that people born on July 6 leap years or July 7 common years are not only "windsurfers," who are always on the crest of a fashionable and stylish wave, but also that within the circle of loved ones they are "walking disasters?" Also, they are primitive “party people” with vulgar attempts at originality and erudition in a shiny wrapper... Or, do you know that, for example, once those people, who were born on July 10th of leap years or July 11th of common years choose a deity (personified or not)—they not only regularly make various sacrifices (all the way to the very fact of their existence), but also are ready to "put on the altar" of their beliefs and hobbies anyone, even the closest person? Hence the question: are you sure that you know people, whom you think you know as your own self? Yes, of course, you know them, if we take word-play into account.

How Goddesses Are Turned Into Logs by Andrey Davydov,Olga Skorbatyuk Pdf

Every woman considers herself an individual. In vain, as regardless of race, ethnicity, profession and so on, no woman is an individual. Every woman lives as man programmed her to live, as it is convenient for him, as he wants her to. Women do not even suspect who produces images for what they consider their "Self," and why. By studying the history of world culture (literature, pictorial art, architecture, music, science, etc.), it is easy to trace that men usurped everything that had to do with images, as ideas for creation of anything. And, from time immemorial, women were left with a role of stupid consumers, and performers, and it was made sure that women think that they (women) are creators too. But, women did not participate in the birth of any product, which begins with a sketch, and in turn a sketch begins with an idea, and an idea begins with an image. Yes, women weaved, embroidered, painted cloth, and sometimes sewed. But, based on sketches made by whom? Based on sketches and patterns created by men. The essence of this process is to forbid women from creating images, and under any excuse to never allow women to do it, ever. Excuses used are from rudest and degenerative ("What are you trying to do, you fool? Go make me a sandwich instead," or "Do you not hear your baby crying?”), to the most romantic and poetic ("You are my muse, just be near, inspire me, you are so beautiful!"). Men’s intent is simple: to have total control over the psyche and the physiology of any woman because an image is the basis of functioning of any person. Providing an image to a woman ensures that she will live and function strictly according to this image. Also, an image is the basis for control of any person, as well as the basis of knowledge about her/him. Men create images. Therefore, they know exactly what image is behind this or that behavior of a woman. In other words, they know how she will think, act, present herself, what she will want, strive for and seek (from men as well). So, a woman does not even suspect that she is like an open book for any man, even if he sees her for the first time. But, women are sure that images that they use (including for construction of their "Self-Image," that they consider their individuality) are a secret. Borrowing images that were made up by men from cultural sources, and using them to form her personality, her way of life, any woman strongly believes in her unrepeatability, originality, and uncognizability. What do you think, who gave women this assurance, and why? In other words, men achieved what they wanted: from potential goddesses, women were made into logs, a resource, a consumable material from which a man can make whatever he likes. Men use women for all and any of their needs. Today, women are allowed everything, even to pretend that they create images too. Only women are not aware that they make their creations solely on the basis of those artificial images, which have already been thought up by men, and have been put into women for centuries, from generation to generation, in the process of "domestication." Women are celebrating victory, but none of them wonder why, for example, a couple of centuries ago there were no women filmmakers, litterateurs, painters, scientists or politicians? Or, why in the history of humans their percentage ratio is so low? Or, how many prime ministers there were before Margaret Thatcher and what was their gender? Or, in what century there was the first female president? And so on. Even a quick historical review, readily available statistics make it clear that women are allowed only into already constructed and functioning system built by men. And, women are allowed to act only based on and within images that the system dictates. Women lost the "war between the sexes." Since the time of birth women are being made into logs with legs spread wide, as an indication of their main purpose—to participate in the reproduction of the human race, and be pleasant toys in the hands of men. Most important is to not forget to tell women, who "love through their ears," that they are wonderful, priceless, how much men love them and depend on them. Long ago women were programmed to believe in any nonsense, instead of seeing and analyzing facts (as well as history).

Chapter 3. Archetype Semantics: How It Corresponds To The Concept Of “An Image.” How Archetypal Are Images? by Andrey Davydov,Olga Skorbatyuk Pdf

An image is archetypal only when it is an individual value, which through natural analogs allows a person to learn about himself, obtain information about his individual qualities recorded in the individual structure of psyche, which ultimately allows a person to legalize his own innate qualities. The authors reason that logically an archetype in its traditional consideration cannot be that prototype (preimage), which, as an initial idea, determines the individual human psyche because by definition it belongs to culture—it is its artifact. Consequently, according to existing semantics, an archetype can be anything except an archetype as an idea. This scientific paper examines whether semantics of an archetype in its traditional sense corresponds to the concept of “an image” if an image is considered in terms of “a copy”, ”a duplicate”; can an archetype of culture be seriously considered as something that directly forms individual human psyche, as a structure that appeared long before symbolism? The authors think that not every image is archetypal because not every image is equal to prototype (preimage), as an initial idea corresponding to the concept of “an archetype.” An image is archetypal only when it is an individual value, which, through natural analogues, allows a person to learn about his own self and learn about his individual qualities, recorded in the individual structure of psyche, which, as a result, provides a person with a possibility to legalize his own innate qualities.

Homo Sapiens Are Bio-Robots by Olga Skorbatyuk,Kate Bazilevsky Pdf

Back in the 80s of the XX century, researcher Andrey Davydov decrypted one of the most ancient sources preserved in this civilization—Shan Hai Jing. This ancient Chinese monument turned out to be the Catalog of human population; meaning—a collection of detailed descriptions of 293 subtypes of the biological type Homo sapiens. This Catalog contains information about each person who lived, lives or will live in the future on planet Earth. Information about the subtype structure is implanted in the form of a program in the unconscious of a person from birth, and this program determines all of his life: his/her personal qualities and character properties, algorithms of life and functioning, hidden motivational spring, abilities, talents, preferences, inclinations, etc. Natural subtype program is that what is called "psyche", "soul." In addition to a program, Homo sapiens, as a biosystem programmed by nature, has modes of self-regulation and regulation (control from the outside). For colleagues from the scientific environment we are offering our definition of what psyche of Homo sapiens and the Catalog of human population are: "The Catalog of human population is a description of a human as a type by subtype structures. Subtype structure (“psyche”, “soul”) is a combination of individual archetypes, recorded at the genetic level (principle). Expressions and interaction of subtype structures in manipulation modes and phenological algorithms are described with adjustments for gender, age and cultural differences. Information is recorded on six factors." Programs and manipulation modes of each subtype differ from one another. For this reason, people differ from each other by internal characteristics, and individual manipulation scenarios are necessary for each person. Homo sapiens is a living system, which, as it turned out, exists and functions strictly on the basis of a natural program implanted from birth, and from this it was concluded that a human is a bio-robot. This is confirmed by that knowledge of the natural individual program and manipulation modes of a person from Shan Hai Jing allows uncovering absolutely everything about this person and making him/her 100% controllable. You might ask: if the Catalog of human population is such a serious scientific discovery, then why it is not being talked about on television, why it is not being mentioned in newspapers, why the scientific world keeps silent and the Internet is packed with unintelligible nonsense about it? If you asked this question, then it means that you are very poorly informed about how the society in which you live is arranged and functions. Since if you knew a little more about society, then you would have immediately understood that the discovery of the Catalog of human population completely destroys not only many scientific dogmas (in biology, anthropology, psychology, sociology, etc.), but also a huge number of public institutions, professions (including very high-profit), as they simply become no longer needed. For this reason it is not a sin not only to keep silent about the scientific discovery, but also to sign a death sentence instead of awarding the Nobel Prize. Essentially, this is what was done and details about this are available in the 5th book of this series. Since not only "powerful people" do not care about you personally and the masses in general, but also even doctors, who had only one question after learning about this discovery: "If all people will be healthy, then who will need us?" Therefore, do not waste your time looking for positive feedback about us in any sources for the masses. Maybe instead it makes sense to spend your time getting answers to questions like "Who am I?", "What am I like?", "What is the meaning of my life?", "How should I live?" not from your own or other people's fantasies, as usual, but from the ancient source, which existed for tens of thousands or maybe even millions of years? No one in this world will take care of you. A human in this civilization is just a resource for someone else's gain. Now each person got a chance to make a choice: should he personally continue being a resource or not. However, these are not our difficulties.

Guism: Psychical Mutations Of Homo Sapiens by Andrey Davydov,Olga Skorbatyuk Pdf

Gui/guism do not belong to categories of phenomena, special occurrences, rare facts, and cannot be attributed to someone's subjective understanding because it is a universal occurrence available for wide observation. In modern culture, gui are usually called by words "human", "people." Mutations in the form of guism have a psychical pathogenesis, pathological changes. This Metaphorical Dictionary was created on the basis of the proto-language that we found. The proto-language, or as it is also called the world language, is the language of images. It is the Chinese language that is this world language, the proto-human language. The combination of images in the Chinese language coupled with its one hundred percent preservation thanks to cultural traditions of the Chinese people, which no other nation in the world has, for multiple decades allow us to turn to Chinese hieroglyphics as the proto-language, in which true meaning of any word can be found. Why does humanity need the Metaphorical Dictionary and is it needed at all? Answers to these questions lie on the surface, as no one will deny that communication problems between people in this civilization exist. Moreover, they are so serious and neglected that in fact there is much more understanding even between representatives of the animal kingdom, who are much more primitive compared to Homo sapiens. Each person attributes his own meaning to any word; as for universal meanings—there are none. Our Metaphorical Dictionary easily solves any communication problems, or rather—it eliminates them altogether since this Dictionary is not just a collection of words and their meanings: behind every concept under consideration is an image, a picture. Proto-language in the face of Chinese hieroglyphics not only returns true essence and meanings of basic philosophical concepts, which exist in this civilization to all of us, but also, through understanding, turns them into keys (or "drivers," whatever is preferable). These are drivers to society and its use, which very well can and should replace society’s use of all of us. Study of all these, as we called them, "drivers" as certain management buttons gives us all not only a more complete understanding of social processes taking place around us, but also on the basis of this understanding, allows us to do more in this life (and not for society, but first of all for ourselves). Recipes obtained from the proto-language, which we called "drivers," turn society— violator-exploiter into society—free-supermarket, where you come to take what you need and do not have to pay for it with your self-identification, freedom, health, and so on. These recipes are universal and work for absolutely anyone, who has them and uses them on practice. Try them! After all, there is nothing better than good theory, which can be successfully applied in everyday life. Would you agree?

Keepers of the Ancient Knowledge by Joan Parisi Wilcox Pdf

The Celestine Prophecy -- James Redfield's international bestseller -- is a fictional account of Peruvian mysticism and spiritual awakening. Now, for the first time, the most respected shamans of Peru share their mystical practices with the world. Joan Parisi Wilcox has trained for over five years with the Q'ero Indians, mystics of the south-central Andes region who are regarded as the "keepers of the ancient knowledge." In 1997 she was initiated as a fourth-level Andean "priest" -- the highest level of the mystical hierarchy. This unique book is the first to present a factual overview of Andean mysticism. Wilcox, through her training and immersion into the practices of the Q'ero, is the first and only person to record the knowledge of the Andean mystic tradition, as told to her in personal interviews. Keepers of the Ancient Knowledge is divided into three parts: Part I - The Kawsay Pacha: The World Of Living Energy This section is a comprehensive overview of the kawsay pacha, the world of living energy, and the nature spirits and mystical tools through which Andean mystics access this multidimensional world of living energy. In a simple, yet authoritative way, the author provides the information and terminology necessary to understand Peruvian mysticism. Part II - Interviews With the Q'ero Mystics In their own words hear the Q'ero masters recount their arduous initiations and provide intimate details of their energy and healing work. These remarkable chapters provide -- for the first time in English -- the only means to learn directly from the most respected shamans of Peru. Part III - Putting Andean Shamanic Practices to Work in Your Life The author provides numerous exercises designed to launch readers on their own journey along the sacred path. Many of these exercises will be new even to those already familiar with Andean mysticism, because they have never been taught outside of Peru. And all of the exercises are simple enough that any reader can quickly and easily put them into practice. Keepers of the Ancient Knowledge is the perfect opportunity for newcomers to Andean mysticism to learn directly from Peruvian mystics, as well as for initiates to add to their level of knowledge.

Shamanism [2 volumes] by Mariko Namba Walter,Eva Jane Neumann Fridman Pdf

A guide to worldwide shamanism and shamanistic practices, emphasizing historical and current cultural adaptations. This two-volume reference is the first international survey of shamanistic beliefs from prehistory to the present day. In nearly 200 detailed, readable entries, leading ethnographers, psychologists, archaeologists, historians, and scholars of religion and folk literature explain the general principles of shamanism as well as the details of widely varied practices. What is it like to be a shaman? Entries describe, region by region, the traits, such as sicknesses and dreams, that mark a person as a shaman, as well as the training undertaken by initiates. They detail the costumes, music, rituals, artifacts, and drugs that shamans use to achieve altered states of consciousness, communicate with spirits, travel in the spirit world, and retrieve souls. Unlike most Western books on shamanism, which focus narrowly on the individual's experience of healing and trance, Shamanism also examines the function of shamanism in society from social, political, and historical perspectives and identifies the ancient, continuous thread that connects shamanistic beliefs and rituals across cultures and millennia.

Social Psychology [2 volumes] by Randal W. Summers Pdf

This book provides an introduction to social psychology that covers its history, theories, and core concepts. It explains intrapersonal (how others influence our views about ourselves) and interpersonal (how we think about and act toward other people) applications of this discipline in today's society. Human beings are social by nature. Because of this, the people around us have a profound impact on how we think about ourselves and others—from our sense of self esteem to our opinions and attitudes to our interactions in a group setting. Social Psychology: How Other People Influence Our Thoughts and Actions describes these subtle but powerful effects in our daily lives, offering a complete and balanced view of the topic. Readers will discover the history of social psychology, grasp its theories and core concepts, learn about important issues and debates related to this topic, and see how these ideas are directly applicable to therapy and other real-world situations. Chapters cover how an individual's self-concept is developed and the various social forces on it, how a social psychology experiment may be conducted, and examples of social psychology in everyday life, such as group dynamics and cultural phenomena. Readers will also see how social psychology plays a role in our criminal justice system, including in the context of the prison system population; in the cultural issues associated with Latino and Native American populations; in our social collective concern about mass shootings, epidemics, and terrorism; and in the dynamics, processes, and tactics of a nationwide presidential election campaign seeking to influence the masses.

Biological and Neuroscientific Foundations of Philosophy by Franco Fabbro Pdf

Biological and Neuroscientific Foundations of Philosophy is an authoritative text addressing both academicians and students, and it proposes an integrated and holistic view of scientific study and presents a new paradigm by which to study philosophy. It highlights, in a systematic and sufficiently simple manner, the fundamental role of neuroscience, neuropsychology and biology within philosophical reflection. Written by an expert in neuroscience, the book draws together different strands of study to explore how scientific and neuropsychological discoveries are integral to the study of philosophy and our understanding of mind. It argues to move away from a philosophical paradigm that is based solely within physics and mathematics and to embrace more complex frames of data and knowledge of psychology and biology to advance the discipline. The book also reflects on the symbolic dimensions and the concept of "information" that characterize DNA (biology), and the psyche and language (cognitive and social neuroscience). It offers an ambitious thesis that ties together the philosophical foundations of science, the evolutionary history of human beings, social organization, communication and consciousness. This interdisciplinary work will be highly beneficial for researchers and postgraduate students of neuroscience, philosophy and biological sciences, as well as those interested in the intersection between philosophy and neuroscience.

Decolonizing Methodologies by Linda Tuhiwai Smith Pdf

'A landmark in the process of decolonizing imperial Western knowledge.' Walter Mignolo, Duke University To the colonized, the term 'research' is conflated with European colonialism; the ways in which academic research has been implicated in the throes of imperialism remains a painful memory. This essential volume explores intersections of imperialism and research - specifically, the ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and tradition as 'regimes of truth.' Concepts such as 'discovery' and 'claiming' are discussed and an argument presented that the decolonization of research methods will help to reclaim control over indigenous ways of knowing and being. Now in its eagerly awaited second edition, this bestselling book has been substantially revised, with new case-studies and examples and important additions on new indigenous literature, the role of research in indigenous struggles for social justice, which brings this essential volume urgently up-to-date.
