Don Nix: 10 books

Computers have become a topic of concern, debate, argument, dogmatism, and inquiry among a variety of people who are interested in the fate and effectiveness of the educational system. This book presents working hypotheses of ways in which computers may fit into and/or transform classroom education....

We see only a fraction of what is around us. Preoccupied with our internal conversation and with our problems and crises, we do not see most of Reality. Our perceptions are atrophied. At moments the veils can lift, and we can see directly, without concepts or conditioning. In those moments, the world...

We live in perilous times. We face a host of problems, mostly self-created, that appear to be insurmountable. We need to move beyond the impulses of the primate mind and its habit of separateness into a new human consciousness that would take us to a larger and deeper worldview, and change the way...

We are evolving rapidly. Its a good thing, because we have exhausted this current phase in the unfolding evolution of our consciousness. For a couple of millennia, we have been wholly trapped in separateness. In the last 400 years, we also have been trapped in the mesmerizing material world. It has...

Somehow we have become disconnected from the infinite Ocean of Life that is our Source and our support in life. Our view of reality has, over the last four centuries, narrowed to the point where the core of the CosmosBeing Itselfhas been excluded. As a result, our lives are full of despair, desolation...
