There are alot of books about self help,
psychological theory, and spiritual development,
yet I can't find any that show how the process
works in real life. Because I believe that
the first revolution is the evolution of
consciousness and that people need down to
earth examples of the realization process
I decided to write a book about it myself.
I've tried to keep the psychological jargon
down and give clear plain examples from books,
films, my own stories and the stories of
my clients. I hope this makes the book more
readable and understandable.
· This book reveals the cultural programming
that prevents psychological and
spiritual
 development.
· We are socialized to structure
our relationships
around the power, authority,
and
control complex encoded in gender conditioning.
· Gender identification is the
earliest and
deepest split in the human psyche;
it
divides the psyche against itself
and men
and women against each other.
· Gender programming inhibits
psychosexual
development and fixates part
of self-
identity at a childlike level.

Beyond feminine and masculine is the CLEARLIGHTOFTHEMIND
– Being and Knowing free from attachment
to mental content. The CLEARLIGHTOFTHEMIND
is always there, it must be realized by the
self-aware human being. In order to realize
who we are, we must deconstruct gender identification.
In this book the model for growth beyond
feminine and masculine is the Good Enough
Mother and the Good Enough Father. We re-parent
ourselves and each other by integrating feminine
attention and masculine intention. Parenting,
not marriage, is the foundation of the new
culture. Individual and cultural transformation
is necessary. Self and story go together.
Psychological development is dependent on
healthy stories and beliefs shared by the
culture. Stories embody our shared beliefs,
give meaning to our world, and tell us who
we are. They hold the culture together. We
can create new stories that synthesize existing
knowledge, have a more inclusive perspective,
and a view of all human beings evolving to
whole and healthy being and knowing.
Bobbi O’Brien is a psychologist currently

Care specializing in the treatment of the
whole being, body, mind, spirit; A Chance
To Grow specializing in neurofeedback and
self regulation; Nu Perspectives specializing
in leadership training, values clarification,
and the realization process.

The global brain has arrived in the form
of the worldwide web; it needs a healthy
global mind to use it well or it will be
used as another tool of the PAC mindset.
To help facilitate the linking of groups,
I invite groups working on going beyond feminine
and masculine to come to Http://www.MySpace.com/BobbiOBrien and post their meetings; here we can begin
to share our ideas and help each other discover
what is working and what isn't. We can link
up worldwide and learn from each other. We
can create a global community and a global
mind that is healthy, mature, and efficacious.

I had a teacher who said....
"if you can't explain
it in simple terms,
you don't understand it
yourself"
The degree of presence
=
The degree of freedom from programming
This is the most important
point in the entire
book.
