Furthermore, the meaning of “pure consciousness events” may depend on one’sdefinition of consciousness. The founder of the phenomenological movement Husserl, for instance, denies the possibility of consciousness not of anything—unintentional consciousness is impossible, he says—all consciousness is intentional.10My con...
“He was weaving around unsteady like he couldn’t see good.” “Too much smoke in the eyes, I guess.” Mary the Lesbian Governess has slipped to the pub floor on a bloody kotex….

Another tester, who gave me a lengthy memory test, a master's-level psychologist who signed "MA" after his name, came up with an odd formulation: The results suggested I was deliberately intending to appear impaired, particularly around memory loss. His supervisor noted that rather than suggesting that I was trying to ...
But she succeeded, and while the rest of the world shook their heads in compassion or tsked their tongues in holier-than-thou judgment, a chain of two words repeated in an endless loop through my brain. My fault--my fault--my fault. And because Mandy knows me better than just about anyone, she heard them, too. "Abigail...
You can put up with them and treat yourself and him in a way that goes much deeper and better. There comes a point when the child himself gets involved and helps, and that’s when the magic happens. I often emphasize in my programs that people work together with parents and children, resulting in much more effective out...

I thought about it, then said: “It’s always good to know these things.” I felt Ruth touch my arm. “I knew you’d take it the right way. What you’ve got to understand, though, is that he thinks the world of you. He really does.” I wanted to change the subject, but for the moment my mind was a blank. I suppose Ruth must h...

The Vanishing Water of the Murray-Darling Basin I'm really interested in how people are experiencing and adapting to climate change. it's no longer something hypothetical. It's no longer something that we can worry about in the future. It's happening right now, and there's nowhere where that's more true than Australia....
What Mr. Radley did was his own business. If he wanted to come out, he would. If he wanted to stay inside his own house he had the right to stay inside free from the attentions of inquisitive children, which was a mild term for the likes of us. How would we like it if Atticus barged in on us without knocking, when we w...
We thought it rather unfair to take cave against Boer marksmanship; we are still proud of being unprepared in the Great War. We doubt whether science is sportsmanlike; and so it is thought rotten bad form to point out how mismanagement smashed Scott's expedition. No gentleman criticizes the conduct of the campaign of G...
I must've been caught in the crossfire of Caleb's attack on Andrew from behind. I raise my body back out of the sand and see Elias coming our way. In a panic, I look to both sides of me and back at Elias seemingly in slow motion. Are all three of them about to gang up on Andrew? Oh no way in hell! I start to grab Tate ...
He pulls away and plants a kiss on my cheek, lingering longer than is necessary. 'Thanks for coming. I got you a wine, your favourite. Is that okay?' 'Sure,' I smile. A small one won't hurt. I break away from him and settle on a chair opposite. 'Is everything okay?' I ask nervously, my voice laced with all of the appre...
10 Characteristics Of Highly Toxic Parents - [Amanda] Hey, Psyche2Go-ers, a taboo topic in our society is speaking ill of our parents. When we bring up our own traumatic events regarding our parents, we're shushed and shunned with phrases like, "They did the best they could. "They did everything for you." or the usual,...
When she unlocked her apartment and walked in, she was stunned to see Jace in the living room, his expression dark and forbidding. He advanced on her before she even had time to deposit the bags on the kitchen bar. "Where the fuck have you been?" he demanded. Her eyes widened and she glanced down at the grocery sacks. ...
And last weekend, under the watchful lens of Diana's iPhone camera, I transformed Aaron's shabby scruff into magazine-model-worthy beard status. Aaron finally looks like a twenty-eight-year-old man instead of an eighteen-year-old boy. Diana reaches up to draw dainty fingers along his jaw. "That was the most popular pos...
I turn toward the door, but she stops me. "What am I supposed to wear?" I shrug because I don't even know where we're going yet. "Wear something normal." I pull up to my house just in time to see Clay Whitaker walking back to his car in my driveway. He looks nervous when he sees me. "What's up?" I ask. I didn't even kn...

I wondered if that's how I'd grow up, reliving his beliefs with my own kids. The idea terrified me, that I could become that. I didn't want to become that and make anyone suffer. I held my breath, waiting for him to hit me, but his arm stayed at his side. "I don't get you," he said. "You're such a backup. No matter how...
Known every time he opened a door for her or took notes for Chandresh. Every time he stared at her as he does now, with those disconcertingly bright-green eyes. Still, it is a tempting invitation. Perhaps if she was not nearly drowning from the rain, she would accept it. "Of course you would," Celia says, returning Mar...
"You seem like a really nice person, Sayer. Half sister or not, you didn't deserve to have that bomb dropped on you like that any more than I did. It was a shitty thing to do to both of us." Sayer snorted and got to her feet behind the fancy desk and took a few steps around the side. "Dad was a pretty shitty guy." She ...
The insula, which does look like an island as the name implies, has several gyri. The front part of the insula is of old vintage, is related to taste and smell, and, just to confuse matters a bit, is a platform not only for feelings but also for the triggering of some emotions. It serves as a trigger point to a most im...

When I wake up in the morning, my jaws are clenched so tight I have a headache. Sometimes my mouth relaxes around Heather, if we're alone. Every time I try to talk to my parents or a teacher, I sputter or freeze. What is wrong with me? It's like I have some kind of spastic laryngitis. I know my head isn't screwed on st...
Of course, Muriel noted, with a frown, the shovel is still functional, and the white markers will get dirty every time it rains. Toby's gaze wanders over to where Muriel stands, having nudged Teddy away with an elbow to take over doling out samples. "I know she can be a bit opinionated. Pushy, too." "No way," I say wit...
Like you're doing everything you can to survive only to be sabotaged by something beyond your control, maybe even some darker part of yourself. Sometimes, it was your body. Your cells turning into poison and fighting against you. Or chronic pain sprouting up your neck and wrapping around the outsides of your scalp unti...
Thinking yourself to be the body you know the world as a collection of material things. When you know yourself as a centre of consciousness, the world appears as the ocean of the mind. When you know yourself as you are in reality, you know the world as yourself. Questioner: It all sounds very beautiful, but does not an...
**Chapter One** **The Feeling** **I** was eight years old and well into the third grade at Riker Hill Elementary School when I fell head over heels in love with myself. What can only be described as the "cornerstone of my youth" came unexpectedly out of left field and washed over me like a Category 5 cyclone. Not enoug...
Therefore, since (in Mesmer’s rhetorical thought) two things similar to a third thing are similar to each other, animal gravitation is like magnetic attraction, and so changes its name to animal magnetism. Now at last the theory was testable in a scientific way. To demonstrate the existence of these vibrant magnetic ti...
As ‘retiring in favour of someone else’ has not previously been mentioned among the causes of homosexuality, or in the mechanism of libidinal fixation in general, I will adduce here another analytic observation of the same kind which has a special feature of interest.

As we have seen, concepts do not usually have crisp definitions. At a first approximation, we can say something is a table if it has a flat horizontal surface with legs as support; but this lets in too many things (Frankenstein's monster on stilts?) and omits others (a table with no legs, sticking out from a wall?). On...

“No no no, Fülle is overstating it, the El Abid Emerald we had last month had Fülle.

It felt like the air was trembling around me, shaking out from me in small waves. I lifted myself up on my hind legs, catching the moment just right so that I was fully upright as I shimmered down into my human self. "Oh," Jared said. "Hey, Jake." "Hey, Jared." "Thanks for talking to me." "Yeah." "We want you to come b...
It might be my favourite thing we've ever done. I like it so much I have to keep reminding myself to be vigilant that we don't fall asleep. I want to close my eyes but I keep them trained on my clock. "Spooning's the freaking best," he sighs, and I wish he didn't say it, because it makes me think of how many times he m...
A feeble illumination, spattered with grey and brown, falls on the upper windows. “I’d like to see M. Fasquelle.” I hadn’t seen the old woman come in. A gust of cold air made me shiver. “M.

"They do say that opals are unlucky stones, Sassenach." I thought he was joking, but he looked uneasy. A widely traveled, well-educated man, still he had been born a Highlander, and I knew he had a deeply superstitious streak, though it didn't often show. Ha, I thought to myself. You've spent the night with a ghost and...
She stared in such a way that I felt embarrassed for noticing. "Your Majesty," Silvia said with a low curtsy. "Hello, Silvia.

Physiologically, there has been no significant improvement in our tool-making capacity over the last 30, 000 years.

The ancient flint s...

It is a place I've shared only with Eva, so all of my memories of here are as drenched with her as the sand is with rays of the sun.

She'd weighed all her options and the only one available to her was to go to Gabe, tell him the entire truth, and hope that he could take care of the matter. Betraying him wasn't an option.

"What good's a ballot when the darkies have lost their minds--when the Yankees have poisoned them against us?"

It’s really interesting to think about how much I have been refusing to listen to my body, which is such an important part of who I am. Yesterday when I did yoga I thought about letting my body tell me the story it wants to tell and in the hip opening poses there was a lot of pain and sadness. I don’t think my mind is ...

I would pray, I would read books, I would think interesting thoughts, but I would probably never ascend into the kind of divine meditative bliss Saint Teresa describes. But that was OK.

I've texted her. I've tried calling. I even drove past her house like a stalker hoping to catch a glimpse of her through one of the windows. But no such luck.

There was only one thing for me to do when I started my new life in the dorm: stop taking everything so seriously; establish a proper distance between myself and everything else.

My mom was dramatic on a good day, but when she was feeling unwanted and undervalued, she was an emotional nightmare.

Vronsky and Kitty waltzed several times round the room.

He was afraid of offending Moloch by worshipping Aptouknos, the god of the Libyans, and he timidly asked Spendius to which of the gods it would be advisable to sacrifice a man.

Only one thought consoled her, and that was the contemplation of Lily's beauty. She studied it with a kind of passion, as though it were some weapon she had slowly fashioned for her vengeance.

The first day I did not think it was funny. I didn't think it was funny the third day either, but I managed to make a little joke about it.

A recessive mutant must occur in both copies to alter the phenotype; a dominant mutant need only occur in one of them. Some properties of the phenotype are largely controlled by a single gene.

This was due to some sort of deficiency in Mother's diet over the past years, as I later learned; but I couldn't help feeling, the more I looked at her, that she was like a tree that has begun to lose its leaves.

Life is a pointless rat race. But how to escape it? At the age of twenty-nine Gautama slipped away from his palace in the middle of the night, leaving behind his family and possessions.
