How to overcome fear and political chaos
By Human Givens College
Using the lens of innate human needs to help resolve social and political conflicts, undermine terror agendas and promote peace CPD Certificate: 6 hours The world is becoming an increasingly unstable and dangerous place. More than ever before, anyone trying to tackle society’s problems, or help the traumatised victims of corruption and war, needs a greater understanding of the fundamental unit of society – the human being. There is a lot here that can be unpacked further... concepts that can be useful in the conflict resolution field. The whole thing about how to manage emotions in a dialogue process when you’re working in conflict situations, is fundamental. It’s a discussion we need to have.ROXANNA CRISTESCU, CRISIS MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE (FINLAND) Why take this course This unique online course, run in association with The Conciliators Guild, focuses on how to improve politics by involving a greater understanding of psychology in domestic and international relations. You will gain an increased awareness of what war, terrorism and bullying reveal about the human psyche and an improved ability to see through political and cultural assumptions, by recognising the underlying emotional dynamics driving behaviour. You will also discover the most accurate explanations available about the root causes of extremism in politics, radicalization, the refugee crisis and the growth of authoritarianism, due to the ease with which mass hypnosis is used throughout the world today. The Middle East serves as the primary case study – but the implications of the material covered are universal and provide powerful new directions for a way out of the chaos we currently find ourselves in. The course facilitators are John Bell and Ivan Tyrrell. I really find this course extremely important for acquiring knowledge of human givens principles and practical tips for how to implement them in my daily life as a diplomat… using the knowledge for improving the policies and the structures in which we work.EVA HORELOVA, POLICY OFFICER FOR SYRIAN AFFAIRS AT THE EUROPEAN UNION What will you learn an increased awareness of what war, terrorism and bullying reveal about the human psyche accurate psychological explanations about the root causes of political extremism, radicalization, social unrest, conflict, the growth of authoritarianism and more an understanding of how ISIS and other terrorist groups deliberately set about fulfilling key innate emotional needs to radicalize and recruit young people what this shows is missing in our society that makes it easy for them to do this – rectifying this could help prevent radicalisation a greater ability to see through political and cultural assumptions, by recognising the underlying emotional dynamics driving behaviour why conflicts seem intractable and how they can be addressed examples of success in conflict resolution – and the role of women and families why we’re all vulnerable to manipulation by the hypnotic conditioning techniques that politicians and the media around the world use today deeper insight into the causes of the refugee crisis a profound understanding of the essential psychological and emotional needs that have to be addressed on all sides if any real progress is to be made in negotiations essential information about the prevalent assumptions in our culture which can hinder policymaking greater effectiveness at conflict resolution in any situation powerful new directions for improving clear thinking about conflict and politics, and reducing civil unrest Who is this course suitable for? Anyone involved in conflict resolution Anyone working to prevent the radicalisation of young people Individuals, charities and groups working with and helping refugees Anyone concerned about the global rise of terrorism, fanaticism, radicalisation, polarised politics, civil unrest and the suffering of countless refugees Diplomats, policy makers and international negotiators Anyone interested in the Middle East crisis Civil servants, police, legal and other professionals involved in law and politics Educators and teachers concerned about radicalisation or the clash of faiths University tutors and students studying politics and diplomacy Anyone worried by the long-term effects of civil unrest and political chaos What’s included? 9 Videos 16 Quizzes Life-long access CPD Certificate Why we need a new direction… Waves of unease are sweeping the world. Our political life is reeling. The rise of ISIS, intractable disputes like the civil war in Syria, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Turkish Kurd war and the looming dangers from Africa, America, Asia and the Far East are volcanic and affecting us all. But we are so conditioned that we resort to the same old habits to address these matters: exerting financial or military power; exhibiting paranoia towards outsiders or adopting technological solutions as if they were panaceas. However, experience tells us, with our track record of political failure in peace making and fighting corruption, that we are most likely looking in the wrong direction… Hope over despair The reason dire problems remain unresolved and continue to grow more complex is because we are not directing our attention to the main cause they arise from: the ignorance and mismanagement of basic human needs in society – especially those related to our natural emotional states. Changing economics, political structures or power balances will not curb the cruel violence or spread of terrorist actions whilst the people operating in those systems remain greedy, needy, and opportunistic. To find workable solutions we urgently need to take into account what lies behind our political and social problems – our innate human motivations and needs. To think otherwise is a tragic misdiagnosis. This course is dedicated to developing a process of long-term education about how to improve politics by involving greater psychological understanding in domestic and international relations – the only source of hope for the future. We invite you to participate in this endeavour. Meet your tutors John Bell John Bell is the Director of the Middle East & Mediterranean Programme at the Toledo International Centre for Peace.

Read more Course format This course derives from a workshop presented by The Conciliators Guild and Human Givens College in Westminster, London. The attendees came from 13 countries and included diplomats, civil servants and conflict negotiators, plus practitioners of the HG approach working in education and psychotherapy. This online version is split into four modules which are broken down further into different sections containing films of the lectures given in English by the facilitators, John Bell and Ivan Tyrrell along with questions from the audience and contributions from attendees. Each film is followed by a short series of multiple choice questions which are designed to help you absorb and think about the material and ideas covered.

Exploring consciousness
By Human Givens College
Delving Deeper This groundbreaking course takes you on a mind-expanding journey through the fundamental questions of our time – from the origins of the universe to what consciousness, and the nature of our relationship with reality, might be Are you fascinated by the ‘big questions’? This unique online course, which is based on a weekend course of the same name, takes you on a fascinating journey as it explores some of the fundamental questions of our time – before arriving at some convincing and potentially explosive new explanations. The most stimulating course I've ever done. Why do we have a questioning mind, if not to find the answers?J. SMEDLEY These new insights are compatible with the latest scientific findings and could have huge implications for mankind – they also throw important light on what the ancient mystics have been saying for centuries about the true nature of reality, and our place in it. If you’ve been wondering how the universe came into existence, thinking about the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness, puzzling over the mysteries thrown up by quantum science or been intrigued by mystical experiences – this course is for you. Griffin and Tyrrell’s work soundly rejects the pessimistic reductionist view that the great mysteries about the origin of life, consciousness and time cannot be solved by the human mind. By extending ideas derived from studies of the brain and human givens psychology they have found plausible answers to the big cosmic questions that physicists, biologists and psychologists are struggling with. Their conclusions hold out fascinating implications, not only for scientific progress but also for seekers after truth everywhere. This course offers you the opportunity to examine these profound questions alongside them. This could be the missing link in cosmic and quantum physics… a white knuckle ride through one dazzling, thought-provoking idea after another.AUBREY DAVIS, STORYTELLER What the course investigates How the universe appeared from ‘nothing’ in a Big Bang Why relationships are so important What consciousness is and how it evolved How to expand our consciousness further Why life is full of ‘meaning’ How consciousness connects to matter Why our universe is so extraordinarily favourable to the evolution of life Where the information that created life came from Why consciousness will never be pinned down by brain science How human consciousness changed over the last 100,000 years Why we experience time passing – when physicists say time is an illusion What Dark Matter and Dark Energy might be The function of mysticism What ‘self-development’ really means Can our individual consciousness survive death? And, if so, in what circumstances might that happen? What's included? 21 Videos24 PresentationsLife-long access Course format This online course is derived from a 2-day weekend workshop entitled ‘Delving Deeper: Exploring consciousness and your relationship to reality’ which people travelled from across the world to attend. Fortunately one course was filmed and it is this fascinating material – which includes lively interaction and discussions with the participants – that forms the basis of this ‘Exploring Consciousness’ online course. As some of the concepts in the lectures and discussions are quite subtle and/or very new, we’ve split the course into 21 sections (see ‘Course programme‘) so that you can take your time to absorb and think about the ideas it contains. Each section consists of a filmed talk, many with additional questions and contributions from the participants. Then, after each film, you will receive review notes of the main ideas covered in that section (original to the online course). These notes were carefully written to stimulate contemplation and discussion among you and your friends, or anyone else doing the course with you. You also have access to an exclusive discussion forum where you can post your own thoughts, discuss them and other threads with other course participants who are also interested in the ‘big questions’ (Joe and Ivan are also on the forum). You can spend as long as you like making your way through the course, thinking about the points and ideas raised, and it is easy to review any film or section again should you wish to. In fact, as the content is so rich, we heartily recommend this. Meet your tutors Joe Griffin Joe Griffin is a psychologist with many years’ experience both in psychotherapeutic practice and in training psychotherapists. Read more Ivan Tyrrell Ivan Tyrrell worked for many years as a psychotherapist and now spends most of his time lecturing and writing. Read more How the course was developed Griffin and Tyrrell worked together for many years on improving the understanding and treatment of mental illness. They originated the Human Givens approach to psychotherapy, education and psychology, which has been shown to hugely improve the delivery of psychological interventions, and their mental health courses and numerous books have helped tens of thousands of distressed people. At the same time, they continued to pursue their mutual life-long interest in resolving the hardest question in science – the mystery of consciousness. Their extensive research led them to think about other questions too, such as a meaningful way to understand time, how the universe appeared, quantum entanglement, and what mysticism is for – if anything. Their drive to understand led to years spent studying, researching and thinking about the relevant scientific research and latest theories in various fields (from neuroscience to quantum physics), as well as seeing what the ancient wisdom traditions might have to tell us. Eventually their work and dedication resulted in the publication of ‘Godhead: The Brain’s Big Bang‘ – a book about the explosive origin of creativity, mysticism and mental illness and what that meant for our current understanding about the nature of mind and matter. Magisterial… a grand multi-disciplinary meditation… a gorgeous spell of reflection of the Big Bang and the organization of the universe cast in a fascinating mix of the findings of quantum physics and the intuitions of mysticism… a cascade of every conundrum of our mysterious universe that has baffled the human mind down the millennia.PROFESSOR A.V. ASHOK His view was echoed by many others who wanted an opportunity to get together to explore the valuable ideas it contained – the result was a series of private weekend courses on consciousness, science and spirituality that were run in the UK and Dublin. FAQs Do I need any prior knowledge to do this course? The course is in English so you need to understand English pretty well to follow some of the more subtle ideas that are discussed. You do not need to have any prior knowledge of physics, quantum physics, psychology, neuroscience or mysticism etc, to be able to follow the points made. Just an intelligent, questioning and curious mind… How long will it take me? This is really up to you – the course includes content filmed over two days, and there are also review points for you to read and contemplate and suggested links and publications that you might wish to follow up. We also recommend you watch the films a few at a time, rather than all at once, so that you can think about them in depth and allow time to absorb the rich ideas that are presented in each one. You can then watch each clip as often as you feel is helpful. Can I take the course more than once? Yes, once you’ve paid for the course you can watch it as many times as you like, you’ll have permanent access to the content. Can I discuss the ideas on this course with others? Yes, there is an online discussion forum which everyone who has completed the course is invited to join. On it you can share your thoughts, observations and related links or information etc with like-minded people also interested in these ideas. You can also post questions and comments about what you are learning. Ivan and Joe contribute to this forum too. What else will I gain from the course? As well as looking at the ‘hard’ questions that have baffled scientists, and offering some convincing answers, this course shows you what self-development really requires by revealing the true function of mysticism and how it merges with modern science.
