“Thank God for that. You can shut them, say, 'Hold on a moment.' You play God to it. But who has ever torn himself from the claw that encloses you when you drop a seed in a TV parlour? It grows you any shape it wishes! It is an environment as real as the world. It becomes and is the truth. Books can be beaten down with reason. But with all my knowledge and scepticism, I have never been able to argue with a one-hundred-piece symphony orchestra, full colour, three dimensions, and I being in and part of those incredible parlours.” WorldBookRealReasonPlayMomentsAbleThreeWishGrowsEnvironmentPiecesTvsShapesHundredIncrediblesSeedsArguingColourDimensionsThank GodBeatenTornOrchestraSymphonyClawsScepticismKnowledge And PowerThree DimensionsSymphony Orchestras Author:Ray Bradbury

“The emergence of a unified cognitive moment relies on the coordination of scattered mosaics of functionally specialized brain regions. Here we review the mechanisms of large-scale integration that counterbalance the distributed anatomical and functional organization of brain activity to enable the emergence of coherent behaviour and cognition. Although the mechanisms involved in large-scale integration are still largely unknown, we argue that the most plausible candidate is the formation of dynamic links mediated by synchrony over multiple frequency bands.” StillsMomentsBrainInvolvedActivityBandOrganizationArguingScalesRelyCandidatesRegionsLinksReviewsMechanismMultipleBehaviourIntegrationFrequencyFormationCognitionCognitiveEmergenceUnifiedPlausibleLarge ScaleCoordinationMosaics Author:Francisco Varela
“When you completely accept this moment, when you no longer argue with what is, the compulsion to think lessens and is replaced by an alert stillness. You are fully conscious, yet the mind is not labeling this moment in any way... It is a shift from identification with form --the thought or the emotion-- to being and recognizing yourself as that which has no form -- spacious awareness.” ThinkingWayMindMomentsFormEmotionAcceptingAwarenessConsciousArguingStillnessReplacedRecognizingCompulsionIdentificationLabeling Author:Eckhart Tolle
