Synopsis

This audiobook is an in-depth examination of the much needed process of “self study known as self observation. We live in an age where the “attention function in the brain has been badly damaged by TV and computers—up to 90 percent of the public under age 35 suffers from attention-deficit disorder! This audiobook offers the most direct, non-pharmaceutical means of healing attention dysfunction. The methods presented here are capable of restoring attention to a fully functional and powerful tool for success in life and relationships. This is also an age when humanity has lost its connection with conscience. When humanity has poisoned the Earth’s atmosphere, water, air and soil, when cancer is in epidemic proportions and is mainly an environmental illness, the author asks: What is the root cause? And he boldly answers: Failure to develop conscience! Self observation, he asserts, is the most ancient, scientific, and proven means to develop this crucial inner guide to awakening and a moral life. This audiobook is for the lay-person, both the beginner and the advanced student of self observation. No other book on the market examines this practice in such detail. There are hundreds of books on self-help and meditation, but almost none on self-study via self-observation, and none with the depth of analysis, wealth of explication, and richness of experience which this audiobook offers. Red Hawk, author of five collections of poetry, was the Hodder Fellow at Princeton University (1992-93) and is currently a full professor at the University of Arkansas, Monticello. He has practiced self-observation for over 30 years, under the guidance of the Gurdjieff Society of Arkansas, meditation master Osho Rajneesh, and spiritual teacher, Lee Lozowick. This audio edition is wonderfully narrated by Fentriss Moore. ©2009 Robert Moore. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Goodreads review by Anthony on December 22, 2024

Some solid practical advice. Stay calm, cool and collected. Rather than agitated and distracted. Meditate. Develop conscience, compassion, empathy. Avoid self-delusion and fantasy. Sure. Obvious enough. Why wouldn't you? But. Warning. Saturated with dogma and religious belief of a particular kind eas......more

I really wanted to like this book. It was a recommendation of Dr. Nicole LePera, a very enlightened therapist whose content really resonates with me. Unfortunately, this one was a fail for me. I gave the book 2 stars because there were some mini golden nuggets within the pages but, overall it was qu......more
