This book is an in-depth examination of the much needed process of "self"-study known as self observation. We live in an age where the "attention function" in the brain has been badly damaged by TV and computers -- up to 90 percent of the public under age 35 suffers from attention-deficit disorder! This book offers the most direct, non-pharmaceutical means of healing attention dysfunction. The methods presented here are capable of restoring attention to a fully functional and powerful tool for success in life and relationships. This is also an age when humanity has lost its connection with conscience. When humanity has poisoned the Earth's atmosphere, water, air and soil, when cancer is in epidemic proportions and is mainly an environmental illness, the author asks: What is the root cause? And he boldly answers: Failure to develop conscience! Self-observation, he asserts, is the most ancient, scientific, and proven means to develop this crucial inner guide to awakening and a moral life. This book is for the lay-reader, both the beginner and the advanced student of self observation. No other book on the market examines this practice in such detail. There are hundreds of books on self-help and meditation, but almost none on self-study via self observation, and none with the depth of analysis, wealth of explication, and richness of experience which this book offers.

The Awakening of Conscience: An Owner's Manual

Self Observation

For centuries the Tao Te Ching, the book of ancient wisdom by Lao Tsu, has offered insight, inspiration and consolation to millions of readers. Although numberless translations and commentaries exist around the world, Return to the Mother, A Lover’s Handbook, is a groundbreaking effort and a unique contribution to the canon of American poetry. In this volume, internationally known poet Red Hawk offers poetic reflections on these much-loved ancient sutras. This collection of 94 contemporary poems (each 16 lines), brings this perennial wisdom into the 21st century—and adds the flavor and fragrance of Zen and Gurdjieff’s dharma teachings in a spare poetic marriage with Lao Tsu. Each poem invites the reader to bring this wisdom to his or her daily practice of self observation and self remembering. The poet begs for a return to the true Self, which he symbolizes as the place of the Mother within. Our Mother has no words, She is Silence, She is the present, herenow. To be here-now, in this body, is to return to Our Mother . . . This volume is a companion and completion to the author’s two previous volumes Self Observation: The Awakening of Conscience. An Owner’s Manual; and Self Remembering: The Path to Non-Judgmental Love. A Practitioner’s Manual. RECOMMENDED FOR: READERS OF THE AUTHOR’S PREVIOUS BOOKS; STUDENTS OF ANY SPIRITUAL OR “WORK-ON-SELF” PRACTICE; SCHOLARS, POETS, UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES AND LOVERS OF POETRY.

Poems of Self Remembering and Self Observation Inspired by Lao Tsu’s Tao Te Ching

RETURN TO THE MOTHER ~ A Lover’s Handbook

Self Remembering: The Path to Non-Judgmental Love is a companion piece, volume ii, to the authors previous book Self Observation: The Awakening of Conscience, also from Hohm Press, which is fast becoming a classic. Taken together, they present the most detailed examination of the practice available in English. Red Hawk clearly points out that self remembering is only one half of a foundational spiritual practice called self observation/self remembering. Where other authors/teachers have gone wrong in the past is to take only one half of this practice and consider it the whole, entire unto itself. There has not been a booklength study on self remembering that examines the practice from the many angles that Red Hawks does. His chapters cover such diverse yet integrated topics as: the Removal of Self Importance; Kaya Sadhana or the wisdom of the body; and Separation Grief, i.e., addressing the terror of our current situation without denial or dramatics. Red Hawk offers detailed practical guidelines that allow one to know with certaintynot from imagination, theory, thought, or lyingwhen one is Present and Awake; it details the objective feedback mechanisms available to everyone for attaining this certainty: Am I awake now? How do I know? Sincere readers will find that help in answering these two questions is invaluable and life-changing.

The Path to Non-judgmental Love (An Owners Manual)

Self Remembering

Holocaust-whole burned, great destruction of life; America's past before this word was told. Forgiveness-to forget or to let pass; to move on, to learn. This is what I am trying to tell. Turtle I made a garden in the shape of a turtle. I go there to pray for you and for me. I pray for things I would like to see. I pray in the circle standing tall in headdress and beads. To show the young ones to take up the lead. Knowing the honor left by our past, Now as five nations they can make
