All of De Ropp's writing is great. He was a true seeker of knowledge with the academic credentials necessary to back up what he writes. He was
far ahead of his own time. I don't how his books were allowed to go out of print. It's a real shame. You can still find the books with a little effort.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This book rightfully deserves the label "Consciousness Classic" because of the far reaching and deeply meaningful truths. De Ropp displays an incredible understanding of how we have strayed from being able to realize completion or realization. I highly recommend this volume as well as his other books, especially "The Master Game".
I recently purchased another book with information that has had a profound effect on my personal transformation: If You Have Buttons... You're A Robot - A Concise Guide To Tame Your Lizard Brain (The Lizard Brain Volumes) I also highly recommend this one.

Discover The Tools and Develop Your Skills For Self Actualization and Wholeness;
This Book Is For You If You Want To...
End Your Lizard Brain’s Resistance: Acquire the keys to free up your creativity and manifest your unique artistic contribution. Avoid the pain of not living your vision or dream.
Develop Your Emotional IQ: What is EQ? After following these catalyzing sessions, you won’t need a definition because you’ll have emotional intelligence.
Overcome Robotic Reactivity or End the Effects Of Trauma: Many people suffer from all types and intensities of post traumatic stress or PTSD. Everyone has childhood trauma to be integrated. Learn how to remove your reactive buttons and triggers.
Speed Up Your Spiritual Evolution: Spiritual seekers often encounter what’s called spiritual blocks. You can get stuck on the path of transformation. Build the skills to remove your blocks to growth.
Master Negative Emotions: Painful and unhappy feelings like fears, anger, frustration, loneliness or sadness keep us from living the creative, empowered and joyful lives we’ve envisioned. Discover the power to resolve these issues.
Integrate Your Shadow: The “dark side” has become a popular meme in recent years. Spiritual teachers and Transpersonal Psychologists are declaring how important it is to integrate your shadow for self development and the journey to wholeness. Develop your skill and lay the foundation to execute your unique journey to wholeness.
My struggle and Why This Guide?Perhaps, like me, you’ve been searching for an inner healing for many years. Most of us are. You may have tried some metaphysical healing or emotional healing or spiritual healing methods. I tried all kinds of methods including energy healing, emotional freedom techniques, healing meditation, Eastern & Western religion and mysticism etc. I delved deeply into trauma therapy as well, and metaphysics.
What drove me was a strong drive for self development leading to spiritual growth. I also wanted to remove some of the unwanted negative emotions I experienced. Something told me it was possible to undo limiting aspects of my personality.
Some of the methods I researched gave me helpful gains, but I found the price of therapy is steep. On the other hand it is difficult to make real progress without an accomplished guide. It wasn’t my style to follow a guru either. After experiencing several different types of inner healing modalities and many years of study and practice, I found the most effective solution for me was a form of self healing that I call, generically, emotional integration. Fortunately, I found foundational keys that opened the doors for me.
To find these keys, I worked diligently for thirty years. Eventually by much trial and error, I developed the catalyzing sessions you’ll find in this self healing guide. Practicing them on a daily basis has given me the freedom, inner peace and self knowledge that I sought for so long. Most importantly, I gained the skills to create inner peace, clarity and well being for the rest of my life. The benefits I’ve seen are tremendous.I boiled down much of what I discovered into the basic skills you’ll learn in this book. It’s designed to catalyze your integration process and give you the skills to direct your own inner healing journey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A quick overview of how our lizard brain worksReviewed in the United States on 15 October 2012
Format: KindleVerified Purchase
I am just dipping my toe into learning about the subconscious triggers and such so this short book was recommended to me by a colleague. And since I am a Seth Godin fan, I quickly related to the author.
I appreciate that Sebastian doesn't spend a lot of time getting too technical. I for one don't need to get bogged down in the science of it. So I was glad it took me less than an hour to read this including interruptions.
He takes us through some simple questions, most of which I found myself nodding in agreement. I hate the fact that I react to certain triggers. Now I know I can retrain myself to not react.
I have read (or started to read) a half dozen books on this subject and I have to say this one did far more for me simply because it was not overly wordy. More than that, I finally understand about the amygdala or lizard brain.
Each section has a summary to remind you what was discussed, a very desirable feature for those of us who are highly distracted. Good job on a controversial subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars early days but what i have started to read i find invaluable.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2013
Format: KindleVerified Purchase
I have suffered from situations where all of a sudden I become completely defensive and use anger as a means of defence. I am tired of it. whilst it gets less and less regular it is still there, lurking in the recesses. yesterday for instance I exploded at two of my teenage boys for little reason and its not just the explosion and the effect it has on them, its the shame I feel and the helplessness.
last night I began to read the book, morsel by morsel. for me, it requires deliberate and intentional reading whilst ensuring I understand each paragraph. each chapter offers not just hope but also logical answers to what is going on and in particular a break down and definition of awareness and its composites that leaves me in no doubt that whilst this will take great discipline, the reward at the end will be worth it .... to be able to become conscious of what is going on and able to take full responsibility for it before it occurs will give me the ability to finally trust in myself, rather than a lifelong experience of letting myself and others down.
as I say, I have only begun reading but the quality of what I have already read along with the insights and understanding indicate this book could actually get me out of depression and into a life where I feel strong and capable.

If you are interested in putting words into action now, then this book is for you. The book is short, but provides valuable explanation on why we react the way we react and things we can do to shift or change those reactions.

In the book you first learn basics of the concept of the lizard brain which somewhat functions like a robot. If we let it rule our emotions, we easily get stuck in unproductive emotional states. We no longer react like adults should. Instead we are trapped in our projections and fail to perceive the reality of NOW. The author offers exercises to gain mature emotional control over our primitive lizard brain.
