Humanitarian Dr Lyly Rojas is teaching the culture of peace to business students at the University of Applied Sciences and Technology in Vienna, Austria. Her challenge to future business leaders is to make waves in the corporate world and drive a culture change.

In the current economic climate, her message to the business world is particularly poignant. “I don’t think of the financial recession as a financial crisis, but as a human crisis,” she states. Rojas explains “The current economic situation is a consequence of the way the business world has conducted itself; economic greed has eroded the quality of human life and unraveled many of society’s structures. Now is a transformational moment”.   Read more...

Back in June 2007 I was 29 years old, living a balanced life as a business management consultant, yoga practitioner, artist, and philanthropist in Austin, Texas. I had nothing to complain about; life was good. I could not foresee the ways that my life would change as I was simply waiting to get on the highway. My car was suddenly rear-ended, and it was while I was being treated for a concussion that I learned of my benign brain tumor.

The head injury from the accident led to frequent partial complex seizures caused by microscopic level bleeding from the newfound tumor. These episodes manifested at various levels of intensity in the forms of false visualization, altering emotion and speech and movement impairment. Fortunately, my mind, strengthened by over 10 years of daily mediation, was able to control the seizures’ activity of the brain. I learned much about this mind-brain relationship during a five-day video electroencephalograph (EEG) study. My life changed dramatically as I became dependent on friends and family to help me with basic life functions. Yet, the situation didn't stop me from living my life with energy and enthusiasm. I believe that life’s moments are often placed in a rightful way, and we only need to choose to see them for what they are.   Read more...

De opvatting dat kunstenaars en filosofen steeds op dezelfde boodschap voortborduren of een bepaald thema steeds opnieuw uitwerken is al vaker geuit. Ze geldt in ieder geval voor 'De Filosofie van de Relativiteit' waarvan de eerste versie meer dan dertig jaar geleden werd geschreven, en de tweede versie in 1995 werd gepubliceerd. Deze derde versie gebruikt opnieuw de centrale these uit de eerste, waarin de wereld als een beeld bestaande uit onlosmakelijke tegenstellingen wordt neergezet. Meer dan in de vorige versies wordt de relativiteitsfilosofie logisch en consequent uitgewerkt en toegepast op de wereld in en om de mens. De inhoud spiegelt de vele facetten van het menselijk bewustzijn aan geschiedenis, taal,kunst, religie, wetenschap en economie, en sluit af met een relativistische kijk op de toekomst. Informatie over de auteur: Jan Botman studeerde geschiedenis en Nederlandse taal aan de Vrije Leergangen van de Vrije Universiteit en de Vrije Universiteit te Amsterdam. Filosofie trok hem van jongs af aan. Sinds 1991 is Jan Botman werkzaam bij de Hogeschool van Amsterdam als informatiespecialist. Het boek is verkrijgbaar via www.gopher.nl   Read more...

A husband and wife recently celebrated 21 years of marriage. Still deeply in love, the wife has been battling episodes of depression and it hasn’t been easy. For several months now, she hasn’t felt like her old self. Desperately searching for ways to feel clear, happy and healthy again, she’s tried all of the standard medical remedies.

To celebrate their anniversary, the couple met for drinks at their favorite restaurant. The conversation and the date started poorly. Saddened and slightly frustrated at what seemed to be a missed opportunity for a joyful anniversary celebration, the man was at a loss for how to save the evening and reconnect with the woman he loves. Then, in a flash of inspiration, the husband said, “Honey, I love you so much and I am so grateful and lucky to be your partner. I am going to share with you 21 things I appreciate about you to represent the 21 years we’ve been married.”   Read more...

Last week when I was in Armenian Church, the priest presented the parishioners with a quiz that he said five-year-olds had answered accurately but that graduates of Princeton couldn’t. Here’s the quiz:
