    Where is Episode 3 Making Friends??? It sounds SO awesome!!!

    This series is a broad view of an unknowable subject. That doesn't mean we don't inquire as to our nature. The mind is the ultimate code. Everything has mind but not everything reflects upon self. Having questions is a gift. The answers are not. I enjoyed this series and the individuals who were featured did a great job. Thanks.

    ALL sin on earth has been instigated by God's option to do bad things.

    How can the riddle of the mind be solved by thinking ?

    Having Prosopagnosia, I found one part rather offensive. "first we have to be able to tell each person apart, If we couldn't do that life would be very difficult indeed. Just imagine if all faces looked the same to us, it would be a nightmare. But we can tell each other apart...."

    Ok, so all faces DO look the same. I'm still perfectly capable of telling people apart, it just takes a few seconds longer. What is he trying to imply?

    Perhaps I misunderstood the description of this video, thinking that it was to help those with prosopagnosia, But instead it doesn't even reference it - he acts as if it doesn't even exist and if you cant recognize people by their face your some outcast screwup. (and for anyone who wants to cry out that its a rare disorder, research, it effects nearly 3 times more people than autism)

      Though I understand what your saying, you have to realize that your going to meet this sort of thing over and over if you try to look at anything involving the human mind.

    different emotions of the face could have been included in this doco.... secrets of anger may be explained....

    this doco is a frustratingly slow... Lots of bad analogies and visual distractions. It could have been cut down to one episode if they cut out all the unnecessary crap. Otherwise the information is ok.

      some people need the "unnecessary crap" to learn more effectively. It travels through more memories that way. :)

    Sophrology is just dove tails in with all of this. Great documentaries for my students - thanks

  9. Dorna

    Visualisation is good but Sophrology is even better - much more body awareness and being in the flow.

    what a fascinating docco.... very well presented.
    i have only one slight qualm with episode 2, and that being shaun's anger portrayal. i personally would like to see anger dealt with in a paired situation. that is, i think anger is not a singular event. anger is usually provoked, either willfully and directly or incidentally and indirectly. i think in relationships the provocation is often willfull and deliberate, even if subconsious. a bit of a contradiction i know, but i do think this is something i've observed often enough. i further think that provocation such as this often forms the basis of bullying.

    what does everybody else think?

    What happened to Episode 3? I can find it nowhere on the internet either. Wonderful series.
