What Is Shamanism? within the series The Shamanic Quest is an opening book for understanding what shamanism is and what role it plays today in Western society and culture. The purpose of the book is to show that shamanism really is a science, which becomes clear after comparing it with what seems to be similar movements in society.

La Saggezza Sciamanica Incontra la Mente Occidentale: Un’Indagine sulla Natura dello Sciamanesimo’ fornisce una sintesi di regni della conoscenza che finora sono stati accecati dalla coscienza umana o che sono stati visti da una prospettiva denigratoria che è a sua volta il risultato di una percezione frammentata. Lo sciamanesimo, le tradizioni scientifiche perenni e la scienza moderna sono state relegate in ambiti cognitivi ed esperienziali diversi; erano argomenti apparentemente diversi, mentre in realtà appartengono al sistema.

An Ayahuasca Journey within the series The Shamanic Quest is a report of my Ayahuasca voyage in 2004 to Ecuador, where I was drinking the sacred brew in the presence of an experienced Shuar shaman. I erect the hypothesis that when the traditional Ayahuasca brew is ingested, it is not, or not directly, the plant’s DMT that causes the spiritual voyage, as it is assumed in the overwhelming part of the literature on shamanism and entheogens.

Lo scopo dell’articolo era di mostrare che lo sciamanesimo è davvero una scienza, il che diventa chiaro dopo averlo confrontato con quelli che sembrano essere movimenti simili nella società. L’articolo prepara uno studio più approfondito dello sciamanesimo come scienza, che si intitola ‘Il Metodo Sciamanico’ e fa parte della stessa serie.

The Role of Intention in the Shamanic Experience as part of the series The Shamanic Quest is a study that is based on the essential hypothesis erected in my report An Ayahuasca Journey, about my experience with the sacred Ayahuasca brew back in 2004 in Ecuador. The hypothesis I have erected in that report was that there is no linear causation by plant chemistry only, as most of the shamanism researchers admit, such as "it’s the DMT in the brew that causes the consciousness-altering cognitive experience."

Eroe Edipo: Il Lato Nascosto Della Gloria è uno studio su un particolare problema di psichiatria non ancora chiarito. ‘Eroe Edipo’ è un termine che ho forgiato per un individuo, di solito di sesso maschile, che soffre di una patologia specifica che deriva da una combinazione di complesso edipico irrisolto e narcisismo. A mio parere, la psichiatria moderna ha appena iniziato a identificare questo problema, e il mio approccio per delineare scientificamente e psicologicamente questa patologia è quindi da considerarsi un lavoro pionieristico.

From the Ether to the Quantum Field is an essay in which I retrace the scientific development of the notion of the ether, as it dominated 19th century science, to the notion of the quantum field that is the final answer of modern science to the cosmic energy field as well as the human biofield that various researchers have detected and described, and that they all termed differently. Because of the terminological confusion, it was not obvious that all those researchers, from Carl Jung to Harold Saxton Burr, were actually talking about one and the same thing.

A Science of Pattern within the series The Shamanic Quest is a research report about what I found to be Eight Dynamic Patterns of Living in the lifestyle of tribal native populations around the world. These lifestyle patterns secure in native populations a harmonious relationship with nature, and integration of emotions and a generally peaceful lifestyle.

Ödipus Suite: Ein Kulturbeitrag ist trotz alles philosophischen Tiefgangs ein Selbsthilfe-Essay. Selbsthilfe ohne Bewusstmachung der kulturellen Strukturen, in die unser Leben eingebettet ist, kann nicht überzeugen. Menschliche Größe kann nicht erreicht werden, indem wir uns über die Kultur hinwegsetzen, sondern indem wir die Kultur, die wir internalisiert haben, hinterfragen und bewusst machen.

The Shamanic Method as part of the series The Shamanic Quest is a study that is based on my essential hypothesis that shamanism is a science, the first real science that humanity has developed through the wisdom of native Aboriginal peoples around the world.

The Warrior-Scientist as part of the series The Shamanic Quest represents a closer look at the figure of the shaman, who is not only a healer and a sage in all tribal shamanic cultures, but also a trusted communicator with the sacred, invisible realms inhabited by spirits. It is now established research that shamans are people with superior personal and interpersonal skills who often as early as in adolescence follow a call to become a guide and healer for their clan or even their entire tribe.

Oedipal Hero: The Hidden Side of Glory (Scholarly Articles, Vol. 20) - 2019 Apple Books Edition - is a study on a particular not yet elucidated problem of psychiatry. ‘Oedipal Hero’ is a term I have forged for an individual, usually of male sex, who suffers from a specific pathology that comes from a combination of unresolved Oedipus Complex and Narcissism. In my view, modern psychiatry has just begun to identify this problem, and my approach to scientifically and psychologically outline this pathology is therefore to be seen as a pioneering work.

Marcel Schwobs Buch Monelle (1894) ist ein Klassiker der poetischen Prosa, und zeugt von einem Verständnis des Kindes, kleiner Mädchen und junger Frauen — von denen viele Prostituierte waren — das selbst bei Poeten außergewöhnlich ist.

The 12 Angular Points of Social Justice and Peace: Social Policy for the 21st Century presents an articulate peace agenda that contains 12 distinct proposals for reducing violence to a minimum while promoting and encouraging pleasure-seeking behaviors both in children and adults. The proposals are based upon research evidence of the often overlooked bioenergetic roots of violence, demonstrating how the historical turndown of the pleasure function through morality/moralism resulted in an inevitable upsurge of violence through the neurodissociative brain.

Your Way to Excellence is a guide to reaching excellence in all areas of your life. The author's approach to excellence is holistic in the sense that he considers excellence not as a skill, but as an attitude that is an organic mix of various ingredients, among them, autonomy and self-reliance, originality, creativity, self-awareness, and an acute sense for one's difference.

Your Way to Innocence is a guide for developing an innocent and carefree attitude in everyday life. In simple terms it could be said that innocence results from awakening our inner child and using the energy of the inner child as a trigger for self-transformation. This systematic guide to the how-to for creating innocence is not teaching anything, but in the contrary suggests unlearning much of learned knowledge, and dissolving conditioned habits and behavior patterns that have to be cleared before true innocence can unfold.

The author contends that leaders must not only develop values like integrity and accountability but also expand their critical thinking ability, which is one quality of several for becoming accountable as a leader in the corporate or political world.

Walter’s Career Guide: Why Getting a Job is Not Enough presents a fresh approach to brainsmart effective learning and career design, for young audiences. The book doesn’t offer quick fixes for developing your career. It presents an approach to raise the awareness level of the whole of the person. The author contends that true self-help must encourage the reader to be critical in the first place, and develop their self-thinking abilities, which is one quality of several when designing a first-hand life and becoming truly responsible for your destiny.

This 2017 revised, updated, and reformatted edition is not an article in the classical sense, but rather an intuitive summary of all of the author’s nonfiction books. Its paradigmatic style and authoritative diction have not a little in common with Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This expanded worldview is a concise sketch of "realizable" new ways, both individually and collectively, or, in a more expanded formulation, a new worldview that re-institutes real morality principles instead of the fake morality that postmodern international consumer culture practices

Patterns of Perception: Preferred Pathways to Genius deals with an important topic both for science and spirituality: direct perception. How do humans perceive reality? Is there something like a universal reality, one that is valid for all of us, or is reality always personal? And how does the memory surface work? Is our school system the right one, or do we have to implement fundamental changes so as to mold our school system after the way our brain learns? Would that not be the most intelligent way of doing it?
