The Film - “What We Still Don’t Know”
Recently, on a discussion board, I posted these thoughts about this film, which includes interviews with the following scientists.
Astronomer Royal Sir Martin Rees
Professor Max Tegmark from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Professor John Conway of Princeton University
Neuroscientist Dr Michael Hofman of the Netherlands Institute for Brain Research
Dr Nick Bostrom from Oxford University
There is sort of a statement paper done by Rees, or Channel Four, for those who have not seen it, but want to follow the discussion:

To me, this is perhaps the most complex part of religion, worship, etc. Very difficult to understand and deal with because it has so much more to do with our personalities and needs. I have and am still learning and trying to

Brain scans they conducted reveal that experienced meditators boasted increased thickness in parts of the brain that deal with attention and processing sensory input. Continue Reading »

Teaching Our Children About God
You know I guess I have procrastinated about blogging about this show. I really like doing the show but it also gave me some personal anxiety (Danah here). It seems to me we are all on a journey to learn and grow and as Eva says be our best spiritual selves. But this looks so different for each and every one of us. I will use myself as an example.
I was brought up by very strict Christian Reformed grandparents. This is a religion which started in Holland and as my family came to the US they brought it with them.

If I had to put a numerical value upon the reasons that some people are successful with the readings I offer and eventual spiritual growth and change, and others are not, it would have to equate to the level of open-mindedness that they have, exhibit and act upon. It is not will or strength that makes for changes initially, but instead those factors drive the direction that an open mind determines. It is not love or wonder either . . . Continue Reading »
