A great article from Paul Lowe sent to his mailing list today:
What is conditioning? This is a big subject. Conditioning is much easier to see in others than in ourselves. If you go to some parts of the world it will appear obvious. In some countries, women are not allowed out of the house. In other countries, they are allowed out with a chaperone, but only if their entire body is covered and their eyes veiled. What is “wrong” with showing their eyes? Good question, eh? At least it’s a good question in your part of the world. Read more »
Today’s email from Paul Lowe touched me once again very deeply. It rings so true for me.
We are all transmitting/radiating all the time – through our actions, words, and thoughts.
It is not easy to grasp is it – that all our thoughts are interconnected – throughout the universes. And not only in our personal lives, but collectively we are creating what we call reality – on every level. Once you fully connect with how much your every thought creates your reality, please believe me, you become very much more aware of your every thought. Every single one you can catch. Read more »
An awesome animation. It manages to weave together many different fields. I found it to be well rounded, intelligent and fun. Enjoy!
A great reminder from Paul Lowe to his list today.
I am often asked “what are you trying to do with the readers of your mailing list.”
Reply: I am not ‘trying’ to ‘do’ anything. I hear or read something, or sitting quietly doing almost nothing, and something ‘pops up’ to share. Here is one that popped up in the bath this morning: Read more »
Over the past days I’ve been on quite a journey. I’m endlessly grateful for and deeply humbled by my experiences. I touched upon something very deep in my core, and got to see and feel the addiction and identification with it, the attachment to this story, the power of thoughts and beliefs, the roots of war. It’s humbling and amazing to learn once again how deep and far some triggers can go. It feels like I can suddenly see my life story! What a blessing and relief to see.
Deep down I totally believed that “I was lied to”. A powerful source that fuelled behaviour as a victim, and reacting righteously angry in hurt and defence. Although this is certainly not all I am, I came to see this deep underlying survival pattern that has been driving most of my actions and thinking in subtle and sometimes quite obvious ways.

I was excited to learn that this conference is co-organised by our dear friend Tania Singer. It looks like a great opportunity to see some of the leading edge dialogue in this field. In particular I liked the subtitle “Everybody is invited to co-create the future.”
Are you concerned by the current economic situation and interested in alternative approaches? The Mind and Life Conference brings together the Dalai Lama with the leading minds in economics, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, philosophy and contemplative science. Over five sessions they will explore how economic decisions are made as well as discuss new economic systems that reward fairness and co-operation while at the same time addressing the most urgent societal and environmental issues.
Altruism and Compassion in Economic Systems:
A public dialogue between Economics, Neuroscience and Contemplative Sciences
April 9–11, 2010, public conference, Zurich, Switzerland
everybody is invited to co-create the future

“The Intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift” – Albert Einstein
In my experience every human being is intuitive. Developing this ability is a matter of practicing like we would do for any other discipline.
Through a variety of exercises it is possible to access and honor this sacred gift. Being intuitive, or tapping into our psychic skills, can be a very ordinary experience, and at times much easier than we think. The advantages of using this innate ability is that the quality of our life can change to the better. We learn to slow down, to recognise an “inner voice” and act accordingly, to better discern the available options when making decisions, and also to be more in tune and connected with what is really happening around us – and in the world.

This is a fantastic series of lectures by the psychiatrist Daniel Siegel MD given at the Upaya Zen Center. He is explaining brain function. This in-depth look is interspersed with meditation sessions and contemplation exercises that compliment all the information:

I am utterly fascinated learning about the brain. The healthy functioning of this organ determines our experience of life and our experience of life has an effect on the functioning of the brain. But the most mind-blowing, mysterious and mystical question is where is the self that ultimately receives the information the brain interprets from the outside world. Read more »
A great interview with Deepak Chopra on the Colbert Report. I was amazed at how Deepak manages to convey authentic mystical truths in such a fast-paced war of words. He’s is very present with Stephen.
