Arthur Zajonc’s book
Arthur (here’s his website) gave a talk in Stourbridge this week, so I finally got round to reading his book, which was a kind gift from people I stayed with on one of my journeys (rare to get given a gift by one’s hosts). Here’s the link to the book:

Arthur’s gave a great introduction to some of his thoughts from the book. I am very interested in his ‘modern yoga’ idea, the breathing of attention, living in the oscillation between focussed and open attention. This seems to offer a very good way of making a contemplative mood in which to ‘hear’ a verse that one wants to work with. I would be very interested to hear any comments and experiences. I’ve also just discovered Arthur’s blog on Psychology Today, which has some really interesting-looking articles.
You may also like: The Universe in a Single Atom, the convergence of science and spirituality, by his Holiness, the Dalai Lama. In this book he explores the interface between key Buddhist concepts and scientific research, specifically neuroscience and psychology, consciousness and positive transformation.
