Living Deeply (Book) | Institute for Noetic Sciences
"There is a huge and rising hunger on the part of just about everybody for authentic experience and reconnecting with what's deepest and best in ourselves in an ever accelerating and complex world." --Jon Kabat-Zinn
Last week I attended an evening lecture by two dynamic and brilliant women from the Institute for Noetic Sciences (IONS), the organization founded by the Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell after his journey to the moon. Since then they've been studying and researching the science of consciousness and spiritual experiences. This is a profound synthesis of ancient mystery schools with modern science.
Their current book, "Living Deeply: The Art & Science of Transformation in Everyday Life" explores, compiles and analyzes some of their decades long research and discoveries from such great teachers as: Ram Dass, Stanislav Grof, Sylvia Boorstein, Jon Kabat-Zinn, George Leonard, Noah Levine, Rachel Naomi Remen, Huston Smith, Starhawk and many others.

Our Constitution declares that from time to time, the President shall give to Congress information about the state of our union. For 220 years, our leaders have fulfilled this duty.
