Meet Your Playful Mind Volume 2

About the Book

The Interactions Between Instinct and Intellect and its Impact on Human Behavior
Length: 286 Pages

I argue that human affairs divide into the two categories of serious affairs and fun affairs. The pleasure seeking aspect of humanity mostly revolves around fun, compassion, amazement and amusement, and sexuality that together constitute humans’ Playful Mind, covered in this book. As Shakespeare says, “to be human is to play.” Different instincts constantly precipitate varying human interests and energize all human emotions and compel them to interact. For example, the artists through their endless beautiful arts and athletes through their amazing athletic abilities purge life of boredom and render life endlessly joyous and pleasing. There are those who says, heaven belongs to mothers, but I say while that is true, it also belongs to great artists and athletes. However, without understanding what inner forces make these phenomena compellingly captivating for humans we will continue to enjoy them without properly understanding what it is that we so enjoy.

In that, humans have enjoyed arts and sports for millennia without being able to articulate exactly what in these seemingly frivolous activities so engrosses these superbly intelligent and purposeful beings, humans. Hence, we have been relishing that which we do not understand at all. To use another example in the realm of human sexuality, over 90% of both genders have sexual fantasies that create a unique brand of human psychology of its own. Yet the origin of this fascinating and universally prevalent human mental phenomenon is yet to be explained in a meaningful way. This study, The Interactions Between Instinct and Intellect and its Impact on Human Behavior, for the first time unveils all these and more of human mysteries and renders humans naked, so to speak.

About the Author

Mark Abraham came to America as a student in 1973, bent on finding the hidden causes of perpetual human conflicts. By1982 he acquired two degrees in international politics, and in 1987 invented an item, founded a company, produced and distributed his product. In America he learned much about the world affair, but did not find his answers. For postgraduate he studied philosophy, seeking ideas from the thinkers of the past, but to no avail. However, he learned that these thinkers being so fascinated by human intellect had observed humans from the stance of intellect alone, while ignoring the mighty forces of instincts. Three human instincts are universally accepted, and Mark has identified 14 more each of which drives us more forcefully than does our intellect. Ignoring this mental force had created a missing link in studying man that is responsible for all human riddles. Placing this missing link in its rightful place reveals that the contrasting natures of the progressing intellect and stagnant instincts have resulted in a growing imbalance in the mind. Your stagnant instincts impair your intelligence, hinder your happiness and are responsible for all manmade disasters. However, because of its subtle nature it continues to escape attention. This work shows how to disengage your instincts and intellect, boost your intelligence and happiness, while it also resolves some major human enigmas. For the first time we see why humans are so spiritual; what makes man so incurably political; what makes us worship arts and also sports. Why, of all beings, humans alone are at the same time polygamous and monogamous that renders humans alone sexually confused.
