Deepak Chopra and Intent

by Deepak Chopra and  Ken Robinson   War is where illusions go to die. This was true of Vietnam and war in Iraq. It is being ground into us every day in Afghanistan. At this moment, those who want Israel to mount an air attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities are counting on mass amnesia. But…

We are all quite certain that we have a self. When you say “I like chocolate” or “I vote progressive,” no one asks what you mean by “I.” That task was left for centuries to philosophers and theologians. “Know thyself” is an axiom worth heeding, but what is there to know? If one camp of…

One of the great abilities of the human brain is to boost itself into a higher function.  No one can explain how this happens.

In the first post we discussed the possibility that higher health was possible, reaching beyond our current conception of wellness.  Such an advance depends on two things. The first, which isn’t new, is to comply with the current prevention measures that too many people ignore.  The words “diet, exercise, and stress management” roll off the…

The information about how to prevent many kinds of lifestyle disorders, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes, has been widely distributed. Longevity steadily increases. Advanced research on incurable diseases moves forward, if only by small increments.   You might think…
