Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-presocratics-anaxagoras/ Our next pre-Socratic philosopher was born in Clazomenae, which is modern day Urla in Turkey. Like with past philosophers, he was in the same mold of wanting to understand existence and how so many moving parts could interact together and change seamlessly.

Well, it's been 3 years, and it's time to say goodbye to Sigmund Freud, though I expect he'll be back since so many other psychologists talk about him.
In this last episode, Freud faces religion, wishful thinking, and the problem of maintaining individual happiness in a world of envy and aggression. Included also are the emotional precursors of Nazism and Communism. He also tackles the age-old question, "What does a woman want?"

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:

In this episode I will focus on an area that is very difficult for people throughout history. It is our identities. Our identity is molded for us by our parents and society when we are young, but as adults we may find how we were molded, an ill fit. By the end of this video you will understand a little more about what identity is and Identity and 5 ways to make authentic change.

Valentine's Day is coming soon and instead of something light and fluffy, it's a good a time as any to do a deep dive into intimate relationships. Social connections and intimate relationships are the boogeyman for many people. Some prefer being alone and others feel that intimate relationships are worth it, even if there are a lot of conflicts. For them we are making social memories that last a lifetime. Love is always worth it! Then there are another group of people who treat it as a hobby and think that it's not worth taking seriously. It's a cynical game where most of the fun is in the anticipation. Consummation leads to boredom.

Blog: https://psychreviews.org/the-presocratics-diogenes/
Diogenes was located by researchers to be living in the Thracian town of Apollonia in modern day Sozopol in Bulgaria. The town was started by Milesians, leading to conclusions that Diogenes was influenced by the Ionian school of pre-Socratics. In a way, he was an apotheosis of the pre-Socratics, where there was a need to harmonize the prior systems into one system in the 5th century BC.
