Aim of this Website
This Website aims to promote a fuller understanding of the human mind and consciousness from a conceptual as well as a pragmatic perspective. For a conceptual understanding, this website ●introduces my trilogy on the mind and consciousness, and ●the April 2015 follow-up:“Consciousness Streamed: William James’Pure Experience Theory”(on-line Monograph). ●provides seven on-line audio lectures on the subject. For people interested in the pragmatic application, this website pertains to two distinctive yet closely interrelated areas of practice: ●dreams and dream-state consciousness can provide guidance in managing stress, conflicts, and challenges in life. (Rationale and examples of this application are given in my eBook, “Guiding dreams and visions: A personal account”) ●“persistent good intent” as wake-state consciousness is key to the attainment of harmony in life. (This is the foundation to my advising and counseling work, application to specific issues can be found in my radio program, “Beautiful Life”) Ming Singer’s Trilogy
The 3rd of the Trilogy “Guiding Dreams & Visions: A Personal Account” (Electronic and Audio Book , 2011, 2013) ●Ming Singer’s Trilogy on “Human Mind and Consciousness” This website focuses primarily on my eBook, Guiding dreams and visions: A personal account (2011), which is the last book of my trilogy on the subject of human mind and consciousness. The first two of the trilogy were published in print form: Unbounded consciousness: Qualia, mind and self, was published in 2001; and the second, Sentience: Companion to reason, in 2003. More>> The trilogy aims to present what I believe to be a fuller contour of human mind and consciousness. This contour embraces the scientifically explicable and common-to-all aspects of consciousness through to the more private and subjective human experience including dreams and a variety of credible yet unique mental experience, which are unaccountable by the present-day laboratory science. “Unbounded consciousness” addresses the former co-knowable aspects of the mind; “Sentience” moved from there to the latter subjective domain.
