Tony Nader's lecture was interesting. He explained how the Rishi-Devata-Chandas dynamics of reality are related.

(No credits, no cost.) It was a part of a free series of lectures given in 2013-2014 and billed as a course affiliated with the LifeWorks initiative. The reviews give a nod to Dr. Peeke! LifeWorks is part of Stanford's initiative to provide students with perspectives and practices that help them deepen their educational experience and more successfully negotiate the challenges they face in today's world. Our courses and workshops respond to the call by the Study of Undergraduate Education at Stanford (SUES) for more adaptive and integrative learning that gives students the skills and capacities for living and working in a complex, accelerated, interdependent world. LifeWorks courses integrate the process of self-inquiry into traditional learning by combining scholarship with creative expression, mindfulness and other embodied practices. Our approach combines the latest discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, and education with the wisdom and practices of contemplative world cultures. Embodied practices like mindfulness, dance, yoga and improvisation help students reduce stress, focus attention and improve academic and athletic performance. Such practices support the development of self-understanding, heightened comfort with ambiguity, increased happiness and a greater acceptance of others. Creative expression through writing, the arts and other media engages students more intuitively and holistically, helping them assimilate learning in fresh and unexpected ways. Reviews: Customer Reviews Jerry by Jerry62t I watched the first lecture by Dr. John Hagelin. I find it hard to believe that Stanford university actually associated itself with this anti-intellectual twaddle. This is truly proof of the adage that if you are considered an expert in a field you don't need any evidence of the things you say. Stanford credits for this... Really? (No credits-de) by Thierry M D Don't look for anything enlightning... Unlike the previous reviewer, with whom I agree though, I actually made it to the 4th video before giving up. This series is border line sect recruiting. Talking at length and mixing good science, that they have nothing to do with, to plug at the end their own mistic view and try to give it credentials in the process. Snake oil at best, it is amazing that Stanford would associate its name with this course, much less give credit for it. It should be reclassified under Entertainement at best...! Amazing also was the unwillingness to address questions from the few skeptics in the audience. Hmm, interesting, but ??? by Roger2014 Skip the first two lectures. Little or no science there. Watch Dr. Peeke. She's interesting and you might pick up a point or two. The final lecture presents the science and it's interesting. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeBUFzP9C1w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeBUFzP9C1w
