Nokio Book I The Boy's Dream

(Nokio Book Series 1)

Nokio Book I: The Boy's Dream is an uplifting story that reflects the love of God through fictional characters and events.

Little do they know that their moments of peace will soon cease due to the dreaded desires of Doctor Z. A young second-chance user called Nokio must face Dr. Z once he realizes the true meaning of his cap, where his hope comes from, and the shards of the broken past. Nokio plans to bring "Heaven on Earth," not in his own power but through the power of God.

Alongside Nokio are his brothers in Christ, Kenji Satinuki and Dylan Maxstar. They both attend the same school as Nokio and wish to spread the Word of God to others they come across. Join Nokio and friends as they battle evil second-chance users who surround Doctor Z.

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture, Life…

 Book Cover


The New PSYCHOLOGY:

A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture, Life… 




     480 Pages, 8.5X11” Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of our mind.


     Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused “witch” was brought into the room, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped. A chill went up their spine, the girls began to shriek “Witch, Witch!” 


     We know this because the same thing happens in America today among those watching a Hollywood horror movie about witches, zombies, demons, murder, a scary “Chucky” doll, and more. This is basic to understanding how our brain works in dealing with anxiety, depression, politics, love, sex, interpersonal relations, and life.


     PSYCHOLOGY CONTROLS THE BIOLOGY OF OUR BRAIN. Knowing how this works is essential to understanding how our mind works. The failure to understand that has led to the media's preoccupation with claiming it is all in your DNA or biochemistry; a media preoccupied with the magic words of DNA and biochemicals in the brain cannot grasp a deeper level of understanding.


      The same psychology that controlled the emotions of the people of Salem, also controls our fears and anxiety, our depression and worries, our hope and success, and our very perception of reality, to this day.  Understanding this, gives us the potential to control our own mind.  To not understand this, is a failure of our educational system and our society.


      We will learn nothing from conditioning a dog to salivate to a bell, or memorizing CS, CR, UCS, and UCR; it will be excreted by our mind as soon as we walk out the door.  But we will remember how the Russians trained dogs to kill tanks in WWII and why this applies to the Kamikaze pilots, the suicide terrorists of 9/11, today’s politics, and interactions with others (see p. 156-and chapters 8-11). From those stories, we hope to have formed an understanding of how we know what we know about the mind.


      We may not remember the subtle force of words associated with emotion, but we will remember why a man who lived in a hole in the ground, eating rats, for 30 years, received “over 100 marriage proposals from awestruck women.”  Yes, really (p. 158).  We will learn why one of Picasso’s paintings recently sold at Sotheby’s auction for 157 million dollars, while the same painting with your name on it would ruin the value of the canvas it was painted on (p.167).  They will remember why Scarlett Johansson’s “snot” sold for $5,300 on eBay.  Yes, really (p. 158).  


     The “New” in this approach involves integrating history, culture (Ch 9), perception (see p.189-197 on 3D images inside the brain), and life as an essential basis of understanding how the mind works (Ch. 2, 9, 10, and 17), and weaving together the threads that run through all the approaches into a more comprehensive whole (Ch 1-23).


     These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how the mind works. Welcome to the deep woods...
