Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf's fourth novel, offers the reader an impression of a single June day in London in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway, the wife of a Conservative member of parliament, is preparing to give an evening party, while the shell-shocked Septimus Warren Smith hears the birds in Regent's Park chattering in Greek. There seems to be nothing, except perhaps London, to link Clarissa and Septimus. She is middle-aged and prosperous, with a sheltered happy life behind her; Smith is young, poor, and driven to hatred of himself and the whole human race. Yet both share a terror of existence, and sense the pull of death. The world of Mrs Dalloway is evoked in Woolf's famous stream of consciousness style, in a lyrical and haunting language which has made this, from its publication in 1925, one of her most popular novels.

This book provides a short introduction to Husserlian Phenomenology by Husserl himself. Husserl highly regarded his work "The Basic Problems of Phenomenology" as basic for his theory of the phenomenological reduction. He considered this work as equally fundamental for the theory of empathy and intersubjectivity and for his theory of the life-world. Further, with the appendices, it reveals Husserl in a critical dialogue with himself.

A revelatory new theory of consciousness that returns emotions to the center of mental life. For Mark Solms, one of the boldest thinkers in contemporary neuroscience, discovering how consciousness comes about has been a lifetime’s quest. Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In The Hidden Spring, he brings forward his discovery in accessible language and graspable analogies. Solms is a frank and fearless guide on an extraordinary voyage from the dawn of neuropsychology and psychoanalysis to the cutting edge of contemporary neuroscience, adhering to the medically provable. But he goes beyond other neuroscientists by paying close attention to the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated, whose uncanny conversations expose much about the brain’s obscure reaches. Most importantly, you will be able to recognize the workings of your own mind for what they really are, including every stray thought, pulse of emotion, and shift of attention. The Hidden Spring will profoundly alter your understanding of your own subjective experience.

The existence of life's Presence within you, the Kingdom of God, was never intended to be a mystery. And Eternal life is to be experienced now in this Present moment of life's only reality. Your life's Conscious-driven purpose was predestined before you were ever born. It has always existed within you, ready to be revealed; you just had to come into the light of awareness of its existence. This is the Practice of Awakening Your Mind to Your True Identity, Life's Calling, and Your Inspired Purpose: The Minds Renewal Is the Path to Your New Transformation You are not who you think you are .... Your mind's false self-awareness has separated you from the Presence of life. In your separation from life's only reality, this Present time, you have created a false self-identity or ego. This ego continues to lead you astray from life's Presence by seeking for more beyond this Present moment, the only reality of life's existence. Transcend your mind's false self-awareness to the higher state of Consciousness, the awareness of your Oneness with life's Presence. Know your true identity, your Oneness with the Author and Perfecter, the Creator of all life. The end of all suffering .... You hold the key to your inner peace, the end of your mental suffering. You are not your thoughts, the thinking and rationalizing mind, but you are the observing or witnessing Presence within. Know your mind's right standing position, its correct alignment with Consciousness, the awareness of life's Presence in the here and now of reality. Learn to become free from the mind's attachment to the intellect and put an end to all your suffering. Life has a purpose for you .... Predestined before the foundation of the earth, life's unfolding script had a unique role for you to play. You were created with a longing desire within to know your inner purpose, something much greater than you could imagine for this life. You were created with the secret of your identity and purpose hidden within you, waiting to be revealed. Life is calling you, drawing you inward to an awareness of your true self and to fulfill its destiny, and there is no greater time than now. The New Beginning Are you ready, child? To take the journey of life as I have set it out, just for you? Hold fast, for there is much to learn, much to teach you. Lend an ear to Me. I will fill you up, for wisdom only comes with reverence. Ask, and you shall receive. I give all to My children who reverence Me. Do not go outside of life's existence, but remain in the Present with Me. I shall surely reveal to you My unfolding plans for your life's purpose, your great destiny!
