Editor's Notes
*
Acidity : Antacids creates a negative spiral
Depression: lack of excitement leads to depression
Car going vs a driver is driving a car
Who are you? Not body, not mind, My body, my mind – separate from me
Child to now – body has changed, mind has changed; but ‘I’ have not changed.
All problems are of body & mind – Problems are inevitable, suffering is optional
Can we prove existence of light to a born blind person?
Electromagnetic waves not in our perception
