      Frameshifting is an accessible collection of tools and strategies which enhance spiritual growth, based on the author's life experiences. Narrow in focus, but perhaps helpful to beginners.
    • 3/5
      More spiritual memoir than guidebook, FrameShifting takes you along on Mr. Banner's personal journey looking for enlightenment. Many of the concepts he talked about were already familiar to me, but I did find it a nice reminder of ideas I hadn't thought about consciously for a while. I was disappointed that he didn't go into greater detail on some of the techniques, and I found the lack of good editing in some spots a little distracting. But on the whole, I felt this could be inspirational to others on a similar spiritual journey.

      Dr. Banner has a PhD in Management. He writes that a voice awakened him in the night and told him to write this book about the transcendence of the individual ego. His descriptions of his personal experences with techniques aimed at this are sometimes engaging, but not focused. He briefly touches on a potpourri of people and systems of thought that have inspired him, for example, Yogananda, Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, the Course in Miracles, Spiral Dynamics, the Enneagram, Ken Wilber, the Law of Attraction, Carlos Castaneda, and so on. 'Frameshifting' refers to changing the frame through which one sees the world. (I am very tired of these newly combined 'words' that are used to create snappy titles.)This earnest attempt at synthesis is not very successful because of the author's disorganized approach and writing style, and the brevity with which he treats each topic. The text is heavy on quotations from others. Sometimes his own writing is unclear enough that the meaning is murky. I kept wanting to refer Dr. Banner to Buddhism, which he never mentions, because it thoroughly addresses the issue with which he's wrestling.There is a bibliography, but some of the authors whom he quotes are not included. There are also distracting typographical and grammatical errors.

      Frame Shifting: A Path to WholenessBy David K. Banner PhDLoving Healing Press, PublisherISBN: 978-1-932690-55-2In this book the author explores the world of the ego. He presents ideas as to what it is and how to recognize when our egos are running our life, which is most of the time. Throughout the book the author also presents many different ways to learn to move from a more egocentric frame to one that allows us to live in a more unified way with everything else.In this book you will not find firm concrete answers to the question of the ego but you will discover tools that the author has used in his own process. Each of the tools are discussed enough to let the reader have an idea of what they are about but he does not go into detail about each one. They include such programs as The Course in Miracles, The Avatar Program, and the Enneagram to have a better understanding of our own Ego and how it presents itself in the world. What the author does in this work is show you how he has taken from many programs throughout his journey to arrive at the place he is at now. He describes in somewhat self-conscious detail his own journey. He also encourages the reader to explore and do the same. He never insists on a particular program but offers ideas to the reader on where they can look and what they may find when they get there.I enjoyed this book and found more than anything that it was inspiring to me. I have already done a little work with Avatar and other similar programs and after reading this book I feel encouraged to explore a bit more and to find more time for meditation in my life. I think a key word here is that this book is in a self-help kind of category of work. It is not meant to do the work for you but it assists you in helping yourself. I recommend it to anyone wanting to examine the way they relate to the world and do something about it.

      Frame Shifting: A Path To WholenessAuthor: David K. BannerPublisher: Loving Healing PressISBN: 978-1-932690-55-2We all know what we are supposed to do with our lives in general: achieve success, work hard, obey the law, honor our responsibilities and commitments, etc.. But in our society, most of us are not really given the answer to how to get there and how to define this often elusive success for ourselves. What about personal happiness and a sense of purpose? How do you come to define who you are and what gives you that sense of purpose and fulfillment? David Banner undertook a long, winding and often arduous journey within himself and successfully found his answer. We are fortunate that he chose to share this personal journal with us, and give us a blueprint for our own search for purpose and fulfillment. A buzzword in the business world now is "paradigm". The concept of paradigm is a set of beliefs or mental models that limit what you can see, and limit your area of experience and reference to what you do see. If you can't see it, you don't know it's there. Similar to looking out a standard window; you are limited to a specific viewing region. What you see out that single window is limited, but what you see out a bay window is a larger view with more dimensions. Actually step outdoors instead, and your view is greatly increased and clearer, with more available directions to look, and no restrictions by the frame of the window to block your view. It's a bigger frame on the picture, so to speak that adds to your view, thus the title of this outstanding work, "Frame Shifting".Step by step and with detailed instructions and thorough explanation, Banner covers subjects that include ego, the development of the ego, the laws of attraction, empathy, attunement, emotion, roleplaying, vision, God, spirituality and more. I especially appreciated the fact that while written with a view of God and spirituality, it doesn't endorse or embrace any particular dogma or doctrine. This makes the book applicable to such a wide range of people and the various life experiences and beliefs they may hold. It would indeed be a pity for a book this well written to exclude anyone. The number of people searching for just this kind of guidance is huge, and it's great approach and innovative view is a welcome addition to the current available studies in philosophy. I would heartily recommend this book without reservation. It offers a rare clarity into the journey of human existence and personal fufillment. I hope it garners the attention it deserves.

      The author offers many types of tools to help the reader shift his or her frame of consciousness. I had been exposed to many of the concepts or “tools” presented in the book in other books or seminars. The book jumped from one theory to another so frequently, that it seemed a little disjointed. Overall, I had a hard time engaging with this book.

      What is the journey to spiritual awakening like?Banner shares his path of spiritual awakening. Having been a management consultant, you would think he would be stoic, rigid, “business like”… but I found his writing to be truly that of a free spirit. He takes you on his journey, sharing the higher teachings he received along the way. This book is filled with quotes and passages from other healers and teachers. That was one of the best parts of this book. It is refreshing to be so close to the wide words of other spiritual giants. His reference to “frame shifting” seems to me to be his journey to self actualization…the never ending process. Banner shares the ups and downs, the personal, and the professional sides of his life. He brings you into his fold. He willingly shares his mistakes, and how he learned from them. He teaches you to trust yourself. The book is written in a somewhat disjointed fashion as it really is a chronological diary of his experiences. He summarizes many spiritual teachings based on his experience. He discusses a subject and what happened to him, giving his subjective view of what worked for him, but he does such a broad brush stroke approach of sharing it and then, quickly moves on. He covers such a wide variety of topics, I found myself lost at times. He encourages all of us to remove our shackled egos and reach for higher consciousness. He encourages you to be in the moment. He shares many of his “ah ha” moments with his readers. I applaud his sharing of all these moments with us. The reading is light and I learned about many forms and spiritual methodologies but the book is not written tightly. It is all over the place. My feeling is that the book is like the author-- in a sense -- refreshing to learn about someone so passionate about climbing the self awakening ladder. I enjoyed several of the passages from the Dalai Lama, Kahil Gibran, and Mother Teresa. He identifies frame shifting tools like Network Spinal Analysis, and shamanism that have helped him mentally grow. Once said, he does not elaborate. This book was really about the author sharing all of the self help tools he has utilized. He describes his experiences with EST, as a shaman, as a Vietnam vet, peace activist, professor, and business consultant. This author is driven and I believe he shares his zealousness and tools so that others may benefit. He jumped around a lot in his life (so far) and on his spiritual journey…nothing wrong with that. It’s just not a good guidance tool for a novice seeking spirituous enlightenment, but you will respect his drive and his love of the pursuit of it, I received a complimentary review copy.
