“The social sciences offer equal promise for improving human welfare; our lives can be greatly improved through a deeper understanding of individual and collective behavior. But to realize this promise, the social sciences, like the natural sciences, need to match their institutional structures to today's intellectual challenges.” NeedsHumansTodayIndividualSocialUnderstandingRealizingNaturalChallengesOur LivesPromiseOffersEqualBehaviorIntellectualStructureDeeperWelfareCollectivesImprovingSocial ScienceNatural ScienceDeeper Understanding Author:Nicholas A.

“Ninety percent of what most yoga teachers do is teach asana practice. While asana discharges stress and so forth, it was never intended to be a standalone practice. The true intent of yoga is personal transformation. What we get out of the privilege of teaching prisoners is the opportunity to focus on our own personal development. You can be of service, and, while helping others transform their lives, you have the deeper opportunity to transform your own. What we teach in prison is how we live our lives.” HelpingOpportunityTeachPracticeFocusTeacherOur LivesTeachingDevelopmentPercentYogaStressTransformationPrisonPrivilegeDeeperPersonal DevelopmentHelping OthersPrisonerNinetyAsanaDischargePersonal TransformationYoga Teachers Author:James Fox
“Strangely enough we strengthen love in ourselves when we raise into consciousness the shadow side of our lives. Conversely, when we keep negative feelings out of sight, they smother the love that seems to lie deeper and closer to the real self. This is probably why there is so much pain in not loving. The life that is not able to express the love which is so integral to it grows deformed.” RealSelfEnoughFeelingsSeemsAblePainLyingGrowsSidesConsciousnessOur LivesShadowNegativeSightRaisesDeeperReal SelfNegative FeelingsShadow Side Author:Elizabeth O'Connor
“As we progress along the intercultural journey, we become self-reflective about habits of heart and mind and the ways these are expressed in daily life. We develop strategies for encountering change, unfamiliarity and ambiguity in creative ways. We begin to realize that what is taken, as "common sense" is really "cultural sense". Our life becomes richer and deeper for having encountered differences.” WayMindHeartSelfCultureRealizingDifferencesCommonCreativeTakenOur LivesProgressJourneyHabitStrategyDeeperCommon SenseDaily LifeHeart And MindAmbiguityIntercultural Author:H.

“Take the Long Way Home is a song that I wrote that's on two levels - on one level I'm talking about not wanting to go home to the wife, 'take the long way home' because she treats you like part of the furniture. But there's a deeper level to the song, too. I really believe we all want to find our true home, find that place in us where we feel at home, and to me, home is in the heart. When we’re in touch with our heart and we're living our life from our heart, then we do feel like we found our home.” WayWantFeelsBelieveHeartLongTwoHomeSongFoundLevelsTalkingOur LivesWifeTreatsDeeperFurnitureLong WayWay HomeTrue Home Author:Roger Hodgson

“The arts have long been an integral and vibrant part of our nation's cultural heritage. In its many forms, art enables us to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and of our society. Providing us with a unique way to learn about people of other cultures, it allows us to discover all that we have in common. At its best, art can beautify our cities, encourage economic development and social change, and profoundly affect the ways we live our lives.” PeopleWayLongArtFormCultureNationsSocialUnderstandingCommonCitiesOur LivesEconomicDevelopmentUniqueGainsDeeperOur SocietyHeritageProvidingSocial ChangeEconomic DevelopmentOther CulturesCultural HeritageDeeper UnderstandingBest Art Author:William J.

“Love is at once the most creative and yet simultaneously destructive force in the world, and thus, in our lives. And I don't mean the Hallmark sentimental type of love, although that is part of it. But a deeper obligation that we have to each other: the obligation to reflect our humanness at each other, to reflect back the things others show us and we, them.” WorldMeanShowsForceLove IsCreativeOur LivesTypeDeeperObligationDestructiveSentimentalHallmarkHumannessTypes Of Love Author:Chris Abani
