Just reading his book The mind that changes itself . It's a good read, full of stories about cases of brain related conditions and how they were treated. Easy to understand. You can just dip into a different chapter whenever you want. Useful and enjoyable.

It's all about being good. Really good. Also being yourself.

Descartes said, like we all know: "Cogito ergo sum"; which is usually translated "I think therefore I am." Well, the updated version would be: "I have consciousness, therefore I am." (or maybe "There is consciousness in me, therefore I am" would be even more exact...) Anyways, the ever-present consciousness is still the only thing we can be certain of... And the so called "explanatory gap" between mind and body - consciousness and brain - is still unexplained. That´s what he´s talking about.

@Xenuspawn Neuroplasticity. Hubbard did promote it abeit in his owm "spiritual way" He did not know it at the time though. Have you seen the Dalai Lama's contribution to the Neurosciences in his partnership with the University of Wisconsin ?

@Xenuspawn Actually Hubbard abhored what the Scientologist's made of his ideas! He distanced himself completely from them very early on.

@AnonKat What does Scientology have to do with anything here, independent or otherwise? What did L. Ron Hubbard ever do to promote human learning besides setting an example of what a hideous cult-like experience could do to a person?
