PenCraft Book Awards 2023 Non-Fiction Runner Up The world has long misunderstood trauma. Now, leading experts in the field have a radical new understanding of post-traumatic stress . . . and a surprising new treatment to reverse it could have profound implications for medicine, mental health, and society. Despite its prevalence, post-traumatic stress, PTSD, is often seen as an unbeatable lifelong mental disorder. However, top trauma doctors and neuroscientists now understand that the result of trauma is not a disorder, but rather a physical injury—and while invisible to the naked eye, the posttraumatic stress injury (PTSI) can now be seen on a scan. Most importantly, the effects of PTSI are reversible. Meet Dr. Eugene Lipov. His research and partnerships have led to an amazing discovery that all trauma has at its root a single piece of human hardware: the sympathetic nervous system, controlling the fight-or-flight response. Anyone who has endured trauma, including long-term microdoses of emotional stress, can have this injury. Dr. Lipov has pioneered a safe, 15-minute procedure that reverses the injury, relieving mild to extreme symptoms of PTSI—irritability, hypervigilance, anxiety, insomnia, and more—for survivors to combat soldiers to the everyday person. Weaving hard science with moving human stories, The Invisible Machine reveals how this treatment was developed. It also tells the incredible story of the unlikely team, including the doctor, an artist, Special Forces leadership, and a sheriff, who are working together to change our understanding of post-traumatic stress and why it matters to society. Coauthored by artist and innovator Jamie Mustard and in collaboration with writer Holly Lorincz, The Invisible Machine weaves hard science with moving stories of warriors, prisoners, and ordinary people to provide a stark new understanding of the human condition. The implications for a better, pain-free world are astounding—and that world could be nearer than we think.

DISCOVER HOW The incredible knowledge of the mechanism of your own mind can show you how to manifest Anything & Everything you want from LIFE with the UNTOLD SECRET of the law Of Attraction! Based on the studies and contributions of quantum physicists such as: David Bohm, David Peat, Albert Einstein (among many others) and psychiatrists such as: Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Arnold Mindell, Erich Fromm (among many others), this book becomes a deep and revealing work, in addition to showing you in a practical way how to make a symbol that behaves as a message to the unconscious, so that the law of attraction begins to work for you, with the revelation of the PSYCHIC CENSOR that is the UNTOLD SECRET in the Law Of Attraction, you will be prepared to turn the impossible in something possible. In this book, the author Robert Rasch will take you to a fascinating world of unorthodox ideas of quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind. It is as if this internal restructuring produces external resonances or as if a burst of “mental energy” is propagated outward into the physical world. Some manifestations begin within the outer world and then move inward as their meaning is revealed. Such manifestations depend on detecting a deeper meaning to the patterns and clusterings of the phenomena around us.” It is the nature of manifestation to have meaning and, in particular, to be associated with a profound activation of energy deep within the psyche. It is as if the formation of patterns within the unconscious mind is accompanied by physical patterns in the outer world. In particular, as psychic patterns are on the point of reaching consciousness then manifestations reach their peak; moreover, they generally disappear as the individual becomes consciously aware of new alignment of forces within his or her personality.
