food for thought

This is my second book by this author. I am impressed with the way he explains his ideas and his exercises in quantum psychology. I get the impression he really cares about the people who read his books. The book is powerful to me because of the humility and humor evident in his writing style. It is a challenging read, but if you "get" just one of the many ideas he presents, the book has more than paid for itself. It's a good book to read, then give some time, then read again. Then again.

eye opener

This book blew away my old beliefs about what my life is about.I'm the boss ! only I didn't know it. I've had one read through and now I will go back, take my time and do the exercises and begin to create consciously the world I would like to be in. I just could not put it down once it arrived.

a coursework for spiritual practice

Wolinsky is a clinical psychologist with over a decade of serious spiritual practice. He presents a series of 85 meditation type exercises along with his spiritual philosophy. Many of these are identical to the sadhanas of various eastern practices. If Wolinsky has done nothing else he has given us a coursework for spiritual practice. I would suggest to read through the book and read and try the exercises as you come to them. When you have more time revisit the exercises as a practice.

For all who want to learn to quiet their mind..

I love this book, as well as WOlinsky's Tao of Chaos. It points out the limitations of traditional western psychology--which frequently involves moving the stuff around and while he teaches one to look at the very essence of who we are, thereby transcending our stories. This book motivated me to continue my meditation practice. I learned alot from this book and I have explored nearly every type of "growth or consciouness" group. The only training which brings one to this state has been the Avatar training in my experience.

Some Reasons Why You May Want To Experience This Book

To summarize Dr. Wolinsky's "Quantum Consciousness," we are often living somewhere else other than the present time. We do this by distracting ourselves with ideas and concepts about what we should be, what things mean, judgments and interpretations that we have made about people, places, things and situations. This point of view creates our internal states and we forget that we are the authors of these states in the first place. The pulls of these states are so strong that it seems like reality to us. This dictates how we think, feel and behave.Problems and pain come in because our awareness stay focused on our narrow points of views. Dr. Wolinsky offers a way to remedy this through the first level of quantum consciousness by realizing that we are more than the thoughts, feelings and ideas that we run thought our minds. We can distance ourselves by first intentionally experiencing whatever "occurs" to us, then intentionally distancing ourselves from this. Intentionally experiencing everything including pain is not an exercise in masochism because if you resist feeling sad for example, then sadness is always there (plus the energy to resist it). Only in first acknowledging it, then feeling it and lastly distancing oneself from it can you loosen its influence and move on. Wolinsky doesn't expect you to believe this and instead ask the reader to adopt a "what if this is true" point of view and see what happens. In my opinion, if a reader "got" only this from the book by practicing it, they would see a startling change in their life (you could pay thousands of dollars on therapy and self improvement seminars, as I have and still not get the benefit that can be derived from this deceptively simple practice). There is much more to the book as Wolinsky uses ideas from quantum physics, western psychology, religion and eastern meditation (always crediting his sources) to take the reader through the levels of quantum consciousness. In doing that he challenges virtually every assumption that we live under. If the reader is willing for a moment, to participate in the 80 plus exercises provided, by seriously contemplating("what if " this is how reality is) then in my opinion, they are in for one mind-blowing experience (unless one decides to invent something else). As a person with a mental health and counseling background who has struggled with deep insecurities of his own and who has been seeking answers for quite sometime (and getting a few but not all), Dr. Wolinsky's ideas began to have a profound influence before I even finished chapter one. I will be working with Quantum Consciousness for quite sometime and look forward to the day when "it will disappear."BUYERS BEWARE THE WORLD MAY NEVER LOOK THE SAME
