"The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge.
-- Meister Eckhart

The Ageless Wisdom Mystery School
Mindfulness Seminars for Southern California

We've upgraded our lecture series at Body 'n' Soul in La Crescenta to a monthly "Mindfulness Workshop." On the first Sunday of each month, we discuss the basics of mindfulness meditation, mindful living, and mindfulness-based emotional intelligence -- including stress reduction & the mastery of anxiety disorders.

Bring a friend or two and join us next Sunday, June 1 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. You've love the experience and the people you meet there. Put it on your calender now. And click on this link to see details and a map.

Of all we take for granted, the concept of the Self stands supreme. Dictionaries define self as the essence of being. But psychologists and philosophers aren't nearly as glib.

Many say we are composed of various "sub-selves." Others talk about a false self and a true or higher self. Some claim there is no actual self whatsoever.

For the past 25 years or so, evolutionary psychologists have begun experimenting with the idea that there is no CEO or President that controls what we think and do -- that, instead, the mind may be modular in nature with numerous parts competing for our attention. And many mindfulness meditators report an awareness of a level of detachment they call the "Not Self," which casts Buddhist philosophy in an entirely new light.
