The Power of Self-Deception Introduction: In the vast labyrinth of the human mind, lies a power so profound and pervasive that it can shape our reality, define our choices, and shield us from uncomfortable truths. This power is none other than self-deception, a captivating force that permeates every corner of our existence. Welcome to the intriguing world of Open Secrets, where we explore the depths of our own minds and uncover the hidden truths we subconsciously choose to hide from ourselves. The Illusion of Security Deep within our psyche, a delicate dance takes place, as we construct a carefully woven tapestry of illusions to shield ourselves from the discomfort of reality. Self-deception becomes a fortress, a refuge from the harsh truths that threaten to shatter our sense of security. We convince ourselves of falsehoods, creating a cocoon of ignorance that envelops us, providing a temporary solace from the inconvenient and painful aspects of life. It is in this delicate balance between truth and self-deception that the power lies. We cling to our illusions, finding solace in the comfort they bring. We ignore the warning signs, the subtle cues that speak of a reality we fear to face. We suppress our doubts, silencing the nagging voice within us that dares to challenge our carefully constructed narratives. We bury the truths that make us uncomfortable, denying their existence in favor of a more palatable version of reality. The Consequences of Ignorance But what happens when we turn a blind eye to the truth? What are the consequences of our self-deception? The cost can be high, as our illusions and hidden secrets intertwine to shape our thoughts, emotions, and actions. We find ourselves caught in a web of cognitive dissonance, where our beliefs clash with the stark reality before us. The dissonance festers, gnawing at our peace of mind, eroding our well-being, and inhibiting our personal growth. Self-deception acts as a double-edged sword, offering fleeting respite from uncomfortable truths while perpetuating a cycle of stagnation. It blinds us to the areas in our lives that require improvement, shielding us from acknowledging our flaws and hindering our ability to make meaningful changes. By hiding from ourselves, we remain trapped in a state of complacency, unaware of the immense potential for growth and transformation that lies within us. Unveiling the Veil Yet, as paradoxical as it may seem, self-deception also holds within it the seeds of liberation. By embarking on a journey of self-discovery and embracing the courage to confront our hidden secrets, we can begin to dismantle the walls of deception we have erected. Peering behind the veil, we expose the truths we have long sought to hide and embark on a path of self-awareness and personal evolution. In the chapters that follow, we will delve deep into the intricate mechanisms of self-deception, exploring the psychological, social, and cultural factors that perpetuate its hold over us. We will unravel the mysteries of our own minds, shining a light on the Open Secrets we have buried within ourselves. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey toward a life free from the chains of self-deception, where authenticity and truth reign supreme. Conclusion: As we embark on this exploration of Open Secrets, we must acknowledge the immense power of self-deception in shaping our lives. It is through understanding this power that we can begin to reclaim our agency and navigate the intricate terrain of our own minds. The journey may be daunting, but the rewards are immeasurable. Let us brace ourselves as we venture into the depths of our hidden truths, for only by confronting the secrets we hide from ourselves can we truly embark on a path of self-discovery and personal fulfillmen

This book of essays lays out the essence of FlameKeeping, the creation of Genevieve Wood. It is not a religion, but a philosophy that can either stand alone or be used in conjunction with other spiritual paths. She defines the Bright and Dark Flames, discusses keeping them in balance, and then offers thought-provoking essays about using this framework in everyday life. Covering topics from creating a FlameKeeping-based society to being comfortable with one's self (alone, but not lonely) to raising children with the precepts of this framework to dealing with societal parasites, this is a practical workbook designed to help readers probe their own worldview and discover deeper answers via prompts at the end of each essay. She also sets forth the concept of a Wayfinder, one who asks the questions that lead people to investigate themselves and their surroundings within a FlameKeeping mindset. Ms. Wood challenges readers to add to the Flame, not merely warm themselves with it.

"A book you will want to read and read again." -- Eugene Peterson Afterword by Bono. How can we find a more transparent, resilient, and fearless life of faith? The book of Psalms has been central to God's people for millennia, across all walks of life and cultural contexts. In reading it, we discover that we are never alone in our joys, sorrows, angers, doubts, praises, or thanksgivings. In it, we learn about prayer and poetry, honesty and community, justice and enemies, life and death, nations and creation. Open and Unafraid shows us how to read the psalms in a fresh, life-giving way, and so access the bottomless resources for life that they provide. "David Taylor’s take is 'open and unafraid' alright. He really goes there, exposing himself before God in the most beautiful way. He might have called the book Naked, because if you don’t find your own self feeling a little exposed here, it might be time to take some armor off." -- Bono, from the Afterword "A book that you will want to read and read again, and yet again, in order to discover the wisdom of the Psalms that shows us how to walk in the life-giving way of Jesus." -- Eugene Peterson, from the Foreword "A winsome, accessible entry into the Book of Psalms…Connects the poetry of the psalms to real-life wonders and struggles." -- Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary "Taylor reads these biblical prayers with Dr. Seuss, rappers, and other poets, along with theologians and the daily news....Guides readers in tracing out patterns of holy speech that have the potential for healing our hearts and our communities." -- Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School "I have always loved the psalms--for their defiant devotion, their deep joy, and their brutal yet beautiful honesty. And after reading this fantastic book about them, I love them even more." -- Matt Redman, worship leader and song writer "In these fraught and fearsome days, we need the psalms more than ever. And we need more faithful artists and thinkers like David Taylor to mine the infinite gifts the psalms offer across the ages." -- Karen Swallow Prior, author of Fierce Convictions

“One of the pre-eminent cognitive neuroscientists of his generation” explores the proven benefits of letting your mind wander and the positive impact it can have on your mood and creative potential (Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling On Happiness).

Mindwandering is the first popular book to explore this multi-faceted phenomenon of your wandering mind and introduces you to the new, exciting research behind it.

'If you've ever wondered why we keep secrets and what motivates us to spill them, look no further' Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again An eye-opening look at why we keep the secrets we keep, how to better understand and cope with them, and when (and how) we should bring them to light. Think of a secret that you're keeping from others. It shouldn't take long. Psychologist Michael Slepian finds that, on average, we are keeping as many as thirteen secrets at any given time. His research, involving more than 50,000 participants from around the world, shows that we most frequently keep secrets about lies we've told, ambitions, addictions, mental health challenges, hidden relationships and financial struggles. Our secrets can weigh heavily upon us. Yet the burden of secrecy rarely stems from the work it takes to keep a secret hidden. Rather, the weight of our secrets comes from carrying them alone. Whether we are motivated to protect our reputation, a relationship, a loved one's feelings, or some personal or professional goal, one thing is clear: holding back some part of our inner world is often lonely and isolating. But it doesn't have to be. Filled with fresh insight into one of the most universal - yet least understood - aspects of human behaviour, The Secret Life of Secrets sheds fascinating new light on questions like: At what age do children develop the cognitive capacity for secrecy? Do all secrets come with the same mental load? How can we reconcile our secrets with our human desires to relate, connect and be known? When should we confess and to whom? And can keeping certain types of secrets actually enhance our well-being? Drawing on over a decade of original research, this book reveals the surprising ways in which secrets pervade our lives, and offers science-based strategies that make them easier to live with. The result is a rare window into the inner workings of our minds, our relationships and our sense of who we are.

Everyone has secrets. We all conceal aspects of ourselves that we deem to be unappealing, even shameful, in the belief that their revelation would diminish our worthiness in the eyes of others. Some secrets are so sinister that we hide them from ourselves, either by self-delusion or deep psychological repression. Such denial is usually beyond our control - an autonomic, self-protective response to severe trauma. Today the author lives the comfortable and unremarkable life of a typical middle-class Australian, happily married, with two adult daughters and a grandson. To her wide circle of friends she is known as an attractive, gregarious, bubbly person with passions for cooking, entertaining, painting, gardening and running, but there is a side to her that she has concealed, even from those closest to her, for over 35 years. This is a story of recollection and personal re-discovery, in which the author confronts the demons of her past and finally accepts the truth about her origins and upbringing. Above all else, this is a story of survival and of triumph over evil and disadvantage.
