The Brain in Space | October 27, 2014
What’s important is not just what is
inside the brain but what the brain is inside of—the larger space of the
body and culture. That is where we find mind and meaning.
- Evan Thompson, “The Embodied Mind”

Flower of the Day: 10/27/14
“Deep
down everyone on this Earth is looking for peace, prosperity and joy.
Even when they are in frantic disputes, fighting for material
achievements, they are in fact in search of joy. However, without love
this is impossible to achieve. This is why we are dedicated to awakening
love. As long as there are still points of hatred and fear inside of
us, we are being robbed of our joy. As long as we desperately want to
receive love, we will be walking in the wrong direction because this
achievement is only possible when we are generously giving the love we
long to receive.”
Sri Prem Baba
