Greco-Buddhism, sometimes spelt Graeco-Buddhism, refers to the cultural syncretism between Hellenistic culture and Buddhism, which developed between the 4th century BCE and the 5th century CE

I think Google should be president

What should happen to a sick and twisted person who molests a three year old child? The answers on my channel to this will shock you!!The video is called "Molester molests 3 year old infant"Every day I get some of the most interesting comments. What do you think should happen to the guy who did this to this three year old infant?WARNING: some of the comments are extremely graphic in nature and may not be suitable for everyone. This is certainly a VERY heated and passionate topic.

(Sorry, continued from last post)Just a month after starting four years ago, I was better able to respond appropriately (and cheerfully!?) to particular situations. Thank you for reading my comment.

(Sorry, continued from last post)...a cow metaphor that some Buddhist teachers came up with (cow is mind, stake is meditative focus, grass over there is impetus to wander). My friend was passing on what he learned from his lessons from a Zen temple as well as his subsequent experience. I'd be willing to forward it to you and answer questions if you would like to take meditation on for yourself. In case you are wondering, it is a concentration meditation, focusing on breathing.

If someone is interested in a 400-word guide on how to meditate for beginners, I will be glad to send it to you. I have been following its advice for the past four years, spending 15-25 minutes a day. In my case, my sense of well-being has increased quite a lot, and negative emotion has become far less strong in my inner life. Four years ago my friend wrote me this guide, after I asked him via e-mail for instructions on how to meditate. The guide is very nice in restating...

Great lecture that is very optimistic about the ability of the mind to change, the importance of relationships and the power of meditation.

It should be the consistent norm established by a certain epistemological method. Using a term that I once thought was completely bogus of Ayn Rand's but is entirely the topic of this lecture .. "psycho-epistemology" or man's mental habit of being aware is indeed a habit he can and should be developed constantly. I'm leaving out the critical SOCIAL correlation Daniel correctly pointed out which was NOT a part of Ayn's (expressed) ideas. Times up, Sorry for partially abusing the comment system =)

I feel like I've heard many of my own ideas reiterated in not even a very different form than my own thought in this fantastic lecture. But I will suggest that ultimately what he is calling mindfulness or mindsight, and which I entirely agree is the critical issue of strengethening the mind - of intellect - is a philosophical issue of introspection and critically relies on a proper epistemology. Taking the time out of your day to introspect, to be self-aware should not be "time out of the day"

So basically, mental health is a process of definition. Ayn Rand said the same thing, used the same terms (Integration, differentiation) relating mathematics and epistemology, and died after she had just begun to meander into neuroscience. The social/empathetic aspect is highly stressed, but it remains the same core idea of Ayn's that man's humanity (social, and individual) is his capacity for reason. His capacity to integrate, to empathize. And most crucial to grasp, his free will.

man this shit is cool

Awesome

great podcast interview with him google:"Brain Science Podcast Dan Siegel"

Here are my thoughts on this please feel free to disagree:1. The speaker began researching the brain not to improve the mind but to better understand his patients.2. He began studying the brain to understand the mind. What he ended up with is an observation of the mind processes.3. The video was titled mindsight but it only an observation of mindfulness - a technique thats supposed to be thousands of years old in the east.4. If you want to improve urself u dont need this. Learn meditation.

13:47 Important point about relationships: Relationships shape the firing in the brain; and when neurons fire, they actually change their synaptic connections with each other. The way we learn, the way we grow, the way we develop is by experiences in addition to genes shaping the synaptic connections in the nervous system. We know that relationships shape those connections.

16:08 Good starting point for explanation of Triune Brain, using curled hand to represent the brain.

Defining Concepts notes:05:17 simplest definition of mind: mind is a process that regulates the flow of energy and information06:22 an embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy and information06:35 it is striking that people who study mind DO NOT DEFINE the mind09:35 process of seeing mental activity with clarity and efficacy is defined as Mindsight12:49 3 point triangle: brain (mechanism), relationships (sharing energy and info), mind (regulatory process)

Incredible!!check out:Dan Rather Reports - Mind Science (Part 1 thru 6)

An important talk. Thanks to Dr. Siegel and Google for sharing it. These contents are not easy to find in free form and they are very necessary to help us in this part of the world understand what inner growth is about. Listening, re-listening and taking notes is the best way to enjoy it.
