The Presocratics: Anaximander
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/the-presocratics-anaximander/
The philosophical influence of the ancient city of Miletus, that supported Thales, continued its inspiration for another philosopher who created new theories and speculations on the origin of the world and what it means for humans to be. The fragmentary remains of his philosophy inspired others to interpret him for centuries, including the likes of Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger. The philosopher was Anaximander of Miletus.

The Origin of Envy & Narcissism - René Girard
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/violence-and-the-sacred-rene-girard/
At the beginning of human communities there is a mystery surrounding how our ancestors created human societies and religions. Some theories focus on how human groupings aid survival for individual human families. Others focused on how a larger brain allowed the ability to understand the intentions of others, and hence group coordination. With a larger brain and the ability to reflect, early humans could reflect on their place in human society, mortality, and the meaning of life. Being able to benefit from shared knowledge, made humanity flourish. Yet despite the benefits of increased group living, humans have always had a sense of danger that came with the price of living in groups. One theory in particular, by the social science philosopher René Girard, clarified the reflective part of the mind that allows for humans to learn from others. He called it mimetics, or the ability to imitate.

Totem and Taboo - Sigmund Freud
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/totem-taboo-sigmund-freud-envy-part-2/
After Freud’s initial success, he was ready to start taking his early theories and advance them into other areas outside of Psychoanalysis and to look deeply at the human condition. One of his most famous and influential books was Totem and Taboo which focused on comparing the mental life of primitive societies, their superstitions, their scapegoating to that of modern individuals under his label of neurosis.
With research from then current anthropologists and Darwinism, Freud was able to connect his Oedipus theory to a psychoanalytic original sin, and began fleshing out early understandings of Narcissism which he later delved into. The book itself provides one of the best understandings of envy and human conflict in all literature.

The Noble Eightfold Path: Right Concentration (8/8)
Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-eightfold-path-right-concentration/
If we got lost on the path, the best way to get back on is to tend to causes and conditions and see what was forgotten. It all leads up to Right Concentration. You gain pleasure up the Jhanic arc, and develop rapture (Jhana 1), bliss (Jhana 2), satisfaction (Jhana 3), and equanimity (Jhana 4). These aren't spaced out states, sleep states, they're not a grind, but instead they are bright aware Flow states that are quite happy and peaceful.

The Noble Eightfold Path: Right Action (4/8)
Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-eightfold-path-right-action/
What's brewing in the mind can lead to action, but the problem with actions are that you can't take them back, and you can't reverse your actions like changing your mind. Thinking a bad thought, is not as important as the action itself.

The Noble Eightfold Path: Right Resolve (2/8)
Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-eightfold-path-right-resolve/
After seeing the danger in desire with Right View, one has to look at motivations on how to navigate happiness. There's now an interest to investigate motivations and to rate their value. It can be translated in many different ways, but Thanissaro Bhikkhu calls it Right Resolve.

The Noble Eightfold Path: Right View (1/8)
Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-eightfold-path-right-view/
The mind is one of the most complicated things in nature and to have the mind understand itself is a difficult undertaking. In Buddhism, the need to see how the mind irritates itself, including when it wrestles with spiritual concepts, can betray levels of stress no different than wrestling with other worldly concepts. In this series we will look at the Buddhist Eightfold Path where those intricacies are examined. Now it's important to look at Buddhism both from the angle of becoming a monastic, and that of the lay person. The following information leads one to rest in the right brain more often and a monastic at most is doing manual labor, reading, memorizing texts, and meditating. The sangha provides an environment to allow old conditioning to starve and new conditioning to take its place and then eventually to let go of as much unhelpful conditioning as possible. They are recusing themselves from being in regular jobs in business and government where much of these practices are compromised with work politics, meeting deadlines, currying favor, being promoted and being rejected.

Meditation: Taking Stock (WNAAD)
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/meditation-taking-stock/
Taking Stock is exactly that. I provide a summary I've what I've covered and how it all works together. I also include some of what I learned in Psychoanalysis and how Narcissism is factoring in big with Woke Psychology contemporaneously. We have to look at the Psychological Objects in our minds with meditation and see the hidden aggression and do something about it before it's too late. We are also broaching June 1st which is World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day (
https://wnaad.com/
) and it's important to look at all professions and how this infection of Narcissism can seep into all supposedly good deeds, and even in areas that are supposedly heroically fighting it. Any institution, including psychology and therapy, are not immune. It ends on a note of the pressure we can feel sometimes for growth.

The Noble Eightfold Path: Right Speech (3/8)
Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-eightfold-path-right-speech/
When we think of Right View and Right Resolve, there is a lot of thinking involved and what Buddhists term as Verbal Fabrication has an effect on how we feel. How we heard others talk, shows up in how we talk to ourselves and others.

Improving concentration
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/improving-concentration/
One of the biggest problems of meditation is maintaining consistent concentration. Sitting down and meditating is not a simple business and many teachers talk about mental maps that take years to traverse for most people, or not at all. As any good psychologist will know, there are many minds in our psyche and they run automatically throughout the day. They make decisions for us. They are our counselors and tormentors. These minds are based on addictive conditioning to follow their advice, based on advise we've gotten from our family and culture, mixed in with direct or indirect threats to remove pleasurable attention if we don't comply.

Emotional Feeding - Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/emotional-feeding/
Part of the divide between Theravada Buddhist attitudes, and later forms of Buddhism, is the insight of interrelatedness. To Thanissaro, interrelatedness, inter-being, or interdependence is not a happy realization, because of the mind's need for emotional feeding. He says, "all living beings depend on food. Interrelated is the process of eating. We eat each other. Physical, emotional and mental food." All human conflicts relate to feeding, especially on things that cannot be shared. There are good elements to interrelatedness as later traditions of Buddhism point out, but there is danger if the negative side is forgotten. He reminds us that even if we only feed on vegetables, there's a lot of suffering required to farm, process and transport food for consumption. By being hungry we are interdependent to the environment, which has so much that is out of our power.

Thought and Meditation - Rob Burbea
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/thought-and-meditation/
Instructions for dealing with thought and meditation can be confusing. Are we supposed to stop thinking? It's an important question. Thinking in a painful way, for some people, can lead to suicide. With misunderstandings and poor instruction, the practitioner of meditation has some hurdles to overcome. When the practitioner tries to stop thinking, they will find that the results are only temporary, and they've suffered a lot of strain in the attempt. At other times the practitioner gives up development and surfs on interesting thoughts and concepts. If thinking is allowed in meditation, what kind of thinking is good thinking?
A lot of the following material comes from one of my favourite masters Rob Burbea, so I would like to let the audience know, if they don't know already, that he's fighting pancreatic cancer. Yet despite that he's still has the fortitude to teach, for example his new retreat teachings have been uploaded about Imaginal practice, and there are links below. Rob like the rest of us is impermanent and the gifts he provides and are not guaranteed. If you are in the position to do so you can donate via this link to help with his expenses:

The Mind Illuminated - Culadasa
Blog: http://psychreviews.org/the-mind-illuminated-culadasa/
John Yates, also known as Culadasa, directs the Dharma Treasure Buddhist Sangha in Tuscon, Arizona. He has worked in a wide variety of traditions including, Theravada, Tibetan traditions, and he also taught physiology and neuroscience.
He wrote the book The Mind Illuminated: A Complete Meditation Guide Using Buddhist Wisdom and Brain Science, which is refreshing in its use of Stages. Many practitioners want to skip to the end of the path and end up slowing their practice down unknowingly. By focusing on stages, the meditator can focus on what they need to master first before moving onto the next stage, and thereby they keep from getting lost.
In this review I’ll focus on some of Culadasa’s insights into how mindfulness works, and the challenges of a wandering mind.
For the latest on Culadasa, see Guru Viking's Interviews:
