directly from Joseph Chilton Pearce:
Transcendence, defined (by Webster) is the ability to rise above limitation
and constraint. Transcendence is an evolutionary imperative, a built-in
genetic function, which, if not fostered and developed, leads to violence
in all its forms. An analysis is made of current cultural practices
of child-birthing, rearing and education which directly and clearly
cripple the transcendent drive which shapes all of human development.
A principle metaphor around which the book is woven is the late medieval
concept of creator and created "giving rise to each other" as creation,
that is, the creative process of life itself and man's mind are a
mirroring-dynamic, each bringing the other into being. Written for
the average reader, avoiding complex language and using concrete examples,
explanatory diagrams and pictures, the book utilizes recent research
in the neuro-sciences, and the new discoveries in neuro-cardiology,
(the "brain in the heart"). Current cultural practices that interfere
with neural development are discussed, graphic new magnetic imaging
of the brains of normal and violent people both verify and visually
depict the results, while the final section explores an eminently
practical solution. Magical Parent -

For centuries being in the Zone was sought after by ancient performance
specialists, Zen archers, Yogis, the Samurai, and others. Optimum
learning, performance and wellness is not some far-off, mystical fantasy.
It is right here, right now, pulsing in every cell of our bodies.
Magical Parent - Magical Child: The Optimum Learning Relationship
is the first book to apply the psychology of optimum experience, what
athletes call the Zone, what researchers call Flow and children call
Play to parenting and to education. Michael Mendizza and Joseph Chilton
Pearce have produced a practical guide for parenting and coaching
healthy, happy, intelligent children in today's turbulent environment.
Combining theory with practice the 225-page manuscript contains 150
sidebar quotes from Pearce's collected works, over thirty-five years
of distilled insights punctuating, complementing, and expanding a
completely new model for optimum learning and peak performance for
children and adults. If being in the Zone is good enough for athletes
and Aikido masters, why not for you and me? Why not for our children?
Magical Parent - Magical Child describes how to learn, perform,
and parent in the Zone, not just in rare moments, but most of the
time, and for a lifetime.
