With poor(junk foods) eating habits we are usually feeding our emotional hunger, and not actual physical hunger. By becoming more self-aware we can learn to listen to what our real needs or hungers are and meet them with the appropriate nourishment. -- Deepak Chopra https://www.deepakchopra.com/blog/view/1262/good_food_bad_f...

Below are few important points from the Book Super Brain By Deepak and Tanzi. => Astounding is the brain's ability to make new connections that a fetus on the verge of being born is forming 250,000 new brain cells per minute,leading to millions of new synaptic connections per minute. Synapse definition: In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell...

If mind is same as brain then none of the ingredients in the brain cell - proteins,sodium,pottasium or water can observe but you can so how did these objects acquire that capacity? Synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell (neural or otherwise). -- Source: Is God an Illusion By deepak chopra and Leonard...

Now coming to Balarama Reddy,here is an excerpt from David Godman's article where Balarama Reddy carries on in similiar Fashion on Suri Nagamma and Devaraja Mudaliar and Krishna Bhikshu:I will revert now to my discussion of which collections of his verbal teachings Bhagavan read and checked.Most of the text of Day by Day with Bhagavan was not checked by Bhagavan. Devaraja Mudaliar showed the first few pages to Bhagavan when he started compiling his record, but dropped the habit soon afterwards, except when he was unsure of what he had recorded....
The Power of the Presence PART ONE In this excerpt from David Godman's new book, Swami Madhavatirtha recalls a conversation in which Ramana Maharshi explained the differences between his teachings and Sri Aurobindo's. By DAVID GODMANOne day, during the second week of my stay, I was standing near the northern gate that leads to the hill path. With me was a devotee who had returned the previous day from Sri Aurobindo's ashram. It was evening and Sri Maharshi came by that way after his usual evening stroll. I wanted to ask him about his views on the...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/9597345/Afterlife-exists-says-top-brain-surgeon.html Dr Eben Alexander, a Harvard-educated neurosurgeon, fell into a coma for seven days in 2008 after contracting meningitis. During his illness Dr Alexander says that the part of his brain which controls human thought and emotion "shut down" and that he then experienced "something so profound that it gave me a scientific reason to believe in consciousness after death." In an essay for American magazine Newsweek, which he wrote to promote...

Is Deep Sleep Like Mediatation?http://timesofindia.speakingtree.in/spiritual-articles/lifestyle/is-deep-sleep-like-meditationSleep remains a mystery despite all the research done so far. Science says it helps to consolidate our memories and remove unnecessary information. That during sleep, when inputs from our five senses are almost zero, the ‘mind-brain’ takes stock and helps consolidate memory learned during the day. However I think we sleep because it is like forced meditation; it invigorates and charges our batteries. In sleep, we go through...

http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/science/why-consciousness-not-brain As Rutgers University philosopher Jerry A. Fodo flatly states, “Nobody has the slightest idea how anything material could be conscious. So much for our philosophy of consciousness.”Others suggest that there are no mental states at all, such as love, courage, or patriotism, but only electrochemical brain fluxes that should not be described with such inflated language.Some of the oddest experiences I recall are attending conferences where one speaker after another employs...
Many researchers in the artificial intelligence community believe the ultimate nature of consciousness resides in algorithms, those calculational programs by which computers do their work. If an algorithm for human consciousness exists, those who take the extreme view of this position speculate it may reside in the actual formula itself, the numbers as it were, and not necessarily in its interaction with the brain.In this scenario, a robot running the human consciousness algorithm would be no less conscious than a human brain running the same program....

A new book by neurosurgeon, Dr. Eben Alexander, in which he describes his conscious awareness during seven days while in a coma under the care of neurosurgeons at Lynchburg General Hospital in Virgina, challenges the common understanding that consciousness is the domain of a healthy brain function.He says,In 2008, while “doctors weighed whether to discontinue treatment, my eyes popped open,”Alexander writes. Rather than experiencing seven lost days of no conscious awareness, with “my higher order brain functions totally offline”, he describes a...
Western science has had remarkable success in explaining the functioning of the material world, but when it comes to the inner world of the mind, it has very little to say. And when it comes to consciousness itself, science falls curiously silent. There is nothing in physics, chemistry, biology, or any other science that can account for our having an interior world. In a strange way, scientists would be much happier if minds did not exist. Yet without minds there would be no science. It is easier to explain how the universe evolved from the Big...

Q: What is the difference between fainting and sleep?M: Sleep is sudden and overpowers the person forcibly. A faint is slower and there is a tingle of resistance to it. Realization is possible in a faint and impossible in sleep. Source: Conscious Immortality, Conversations with Sri Ramana Maharshi. Recorded by Paul Brunton and Munagala Venkartaramiah and published by Sri Ramanasram...
