How is self-awareness measured?

"I have told you, for example, that trees have their own consciousness. The consciousness of a tree is not as specifically focused as your own, yet to all intents and purposes, the tree is conscious of 50 years before its own existence, and 50 years hence. Its sense of identity spontaneously goes beyond the change of its own form. It has no ego to cut the 'I' identification short. Creatures without the compartment of the ego can easily follow their own identity beyond any change of form."

This episode David and Donald do a bit of an experiment. Each chose a topic for the episode without telling the other, and the experiment was to see how they would tie together.

David's topic - theories on misperceptions on the shape of the galaxy
Donald's topic - breaking down the concepts and structure of emotions

Can these two seemingly disparate topics be tied together to find a common bridge? Listen and find out!

the practice of seeking future or unknown knowledge by supernatural means 

- What makes for a good reading?

 This episode we explore past lives and in-between lives.

reincarnation:
1. the rebirth of a soul into a new body
2. a person or animal in whom a particular person is believed to have been reborn 

- What's the purpose of living one incarnation after the next? 
- What happens in between lives? 
- At what point do we get bored with having to go through this corporeal existence over and over, and when do we say when?  

We have all the answers to these deep probing questions, and where we don't have the answers we make it up as we go along. After all, isn't that what life's all about?
