The Ten Paradoxes is a landmark program that combines a unique six-part training and educational system for achieving peak performance and enlightenment or what Master Nomi calls Total Mental Fitness®. Using the ancient power of No Mind® which has been clinically proven by top university and medical centers, it actually changes neural pathways to restructure and improve awareness, enabling you to do better and feel better in every aspect of your life. You'll attain peak performance and flow in sports, business, academics, relationships, and stress management, along with health benefits and deeper spiritual understanding. You'll be more playful and tranquil, have greater compassion and a clearer perception of reality, and become a better communicator with your colleagues and loved ones. With continued practice, you can even come to terms with death, the most feared aspect of our humanity.The Ten Paradoxes, through extensive research and case studies, leads you on a journey to the secrets of the ancient masters. First, it reveals the basic functions and mechanisms of the mind, beginning with the way we filter and interpret our perceptions, which then limits and restricts our actions and reactions. Finally, we will see how the mind defensively creates the self that we know as the "I" the ego, or personality. This is the ultimate illusion that we all need to come to grips with. And when we do, our intuition and creativity blossom, and we become fully alive and open. The practice of No Mind® will actually un-train your thinking and teach you how to achieve Total Mental Fitness® by transcending the very structure of the mind. As long as we live in a dualistic reality, we keep searching for what we think will complete us: material objects, relationships, achievements, spirituality, etc. But, The Ten Paradoxes program frees you from the limitations of these perceptual and ego defense mechanisms and allows you to control your thoughts and desires. And we can truly be in control of our destiny, decisions, and responses, without the troublesome emotions we normally face, such as fear, worry, anxiety, prejudice, and greed.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Over the last 30 years, Paul Harrison AIA, a Los Angeles architect, has researched, practiced, and experienced many of the mystical teachings of the ancient Zen masters. These secrets of "No Mind®" hold knowledge of enlightenment, peak performance, mysticism, and death. Now Harrison has given voice to an alter ego, Master Nomi, to finally share the teachings revealed by the enigmatic Ancient Stone and the old scrolls that contain the Ten Paradoxes.Harrison modeled Master Nomi after the 14th century Zen master Ikkyu (ee-cue), one of the notable Zen rebels and radicals who became known as the Crazy Clouds. Ikkyu was an unrelenting advocate of enlightenment through sexuality the Red Thread of Zen. Despite his reputation for mischief, he was known to be extremely smart, and is still revered in modern-day Japan as a folk hero. Master Nomi translates the Ancient Stone into a metaphoric compass of enlightenment and peak performance a step-by-step transformational journey to Total Mental Fitness® through two important books: the 794-page treatise The Ten Paradoxes and the popular Where's My Zen? parable. The outcome experiencing enlightenment, living in the Now, and achieving peak performance is more accessible than ever before.Harrison lives with his daughters, Chelsea and Allix, and their little Boxer, Kokoa, in their Zen-inspired urban retreat.

Aus dem Klappentext

The Science behind the Scrolls of the Ten Paradoxes , the Ancient Stone, and the Legend of Master Nomi The Ten Paradoxes are derived from the ancient philosophies of the Tao Te Ching as well as from modern scientific and medical research. According to legend, the Tao Te Ching was written around the 6th century BCE and is one of the most read books in the world, second to the Bible. The ancient masters discussed versions of The Ten Paradoxes with Kings,Queens, Ministers, Priests, Generals, Samurai warriors, and their own disciples.The paradoxes ensure that we choose the right action in our everyday lives,and they facilitate the further development of mindfulness to gain insight and to negate the automatisms of the ego or mindlessness. Thus, removing the roadblocks to full mind-body synchronicity and realizing your full potential. The Ten Paradoxes is a contemporary personal fulfillment system,with modifications that merge modern neuroscience research, the Secrets of No Mind®, and psycho-therapeutic language into one comprehensive program. The Ten Paradoxes may appear non-sensible at first, like a Zen koan, but this is because most people can only understand them via the relative mechanisms of the ego or the neural associative network traps of the mind. But, through the practice of the comprehensive Power of No Mind®, you will experience and come to understand these paradoxes in a different reality; one that will offer you the most accessible path to enlightenment and peak performance.
