Many people in Scientology are of the opinion that Clearing is a state where you are no longer bothered by anything. But that is hardly the case. Sure, you have gotten rid of your "reactive mind", and many early Dianetic clears reached the state before John McMaster became Clear #1 in the early sixties. But what about the Analytical Mind? This small handbook takes you on a journey into the realms of what obstacles you may encounter in the Analytical Mind's realm and a few handy processes to get a handle on this area not so easily understood by many. The author was involved in Dianetic counseling since 1956 and was an SHSBC trained Class VI auditor and franchise holder in the 70's and 80's. His personal researches led him to develop the principles utilized in the handbook for auditing and counseling work. He offered the handbook so others could tackle the Analytical Mind and the problems stemming from its unknowns.

Jesse, Son of God

"Jesse, Son of God" is a spoof on the story of Job with a twist. This time the Devil tells God, "Sure Jesus loved you. He knew he was your Son. But I'll bet you, if you have another Son and you don't tell him of his divinity, then he couldn't find you with a map." So, being a sporting sort, the Lord agrees to the wager. Now it's up to Satan to lead Jesse (God's second son) away from the straight and narrow path, which isn't all that difficult since Jesse is easily distracted by girls, drugs, fishing and life in a Hawaiian paradise. However, just when the Prince of Darkness thinks he's won the bet, Jesse finds some way to express his love for God: a poem, a kind deed, an encounter with sharks. You'll enjoy experiencing life with Jesse, from his early days as a Kindergarten Casanova, to his contemplative Grandpa years when he realizes the more he knows, the more he knows he doesn't know. In between that time, Jesse will nearly burn down his town, escape from Moonie camp, call in a bomb scare to this church, fall in love a lot and prove he's more sinner than saint.

The Psychology of Humor: An Integrative Approach

Research on humor is carried out in a number of areas in psychology, including the cognitive (What makes something funny?), developmental (when do we develop a sense of humor?), and social (how is humor used in social interactions?) Although there is enough interest in the area to have spawned several societies, the literature is dispersed in a number of primary journals, with little in the way of integration of the material into a book. Dr. Martin is one of the best known researchers in the area, and his research goes across subdisciplines in psychology to be of wide appeal. This is a singly authored monograph that provides in one source, a summary of information researchers might wish to know about research into the psychology of humor. The material is scholarly, but the presentation of the material is suitable for people unfamiliar with the subject-making the book suitable for use for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses on the psychology of humor-which have not had a textbook source. 2007 AATH Book Award for Humor/Laughter Research category! *Up-to-date coverage of research on humor and laughter in every area of psychology *Research findings are integrated into a coherent conceptual framework *Includes recent brain imaging studies, evolutionary models, and animal research *Draws on contributions from sociology, linguistics, neuroscience, and anthropology *Provides an overview of theories of humor and early research *Explores applications of humor in psychotherapy, education, and the workplace *Points out interesting topics for further research and promising research methodologies *Written in a scholarly yet easily accessible style *2007 AATH Book Award for Humor/Laughter Research category

Bringing creative drama activities into the classroom reaches across all disciplines, creating opportunities for hands-on, experiential learning. Middle school students especially have lots of energy and are learning to express their individuality. They need to try out new ideas, explore, and interact. The many exercises in this book can help any teacher, even one with no acting experience, create a safe zone in their classroom where students can take risks, make mistakes and learn from them, building both confidence and cooperation, as well as speaking and listening skills. Games are organized into several categories: Body Exercises, Voice Exercises, Getting to Know Each Other, Improvisation, Public Speaking, Poetry for Performance, and Plays and Scenes. A glossary of drama terms at the back of the book helps even the most beginning teacher add drama as a powerful tool to his or her bag of tricks.

This book is for all my fellow teachers out there who enjoy poetry and believe their students will become better writers if they keep practicing. Here are hundreds of ideas to stimulate your student's imaginations; students who are often willing to write, but don't have a clue what to write about. These ideas will give them a place to start. Poetry works well for engaging student writers because it is challenging and yet flexible. There are so many types and styles of poems they can experience. There's also a lot of leeway in terms of punctuation, idioms and slang, and how the words appear on the page.Poetry lends itself to success. Anyone can do it and it's personal; it comes from the students' experiences and emotions. It's subjective; the sort of writing to be appreciated rather than judged. The emphasis in this book is "students as poets." It's not about studying the famous poets who have gone before. It's about finding a love for expressing yourself that can last a lifetime.
