Just watch...Thanks. I'll look up these books. <br /><br />Just watched the Dawkins-Chopra interview. Very interesting indeed. What Chopra said about there being fundamentalists in both science and religion rings very true.

A...Awesome. The Galactica schema makes me think...<br /><br />Am I the only Enneagram junkie around here? The enneagram is an esoteric system of personality typing (with nine types) that has been passed down through oral tradition since maybe ancient Greece or something. Gurdjieff taught it extensively. Only in the past generation has it been put down in printed materials. There is a lot of emphasis in enneagram studies about understanding of what type one is emerging only through cycles of self study. <br /><br />Sound like a method you've heard of?<br /><br />Anyway, there is definitely a case to be made that there are nine ashtanga teacher types based on the Enneagram model.(0v0)http://www.insideowl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-39133170662669097022013-07-31T11:43:59.596-07:002013-07-31T11:43:59.596-07:00Thanks Kristen.

Although we still don't know if one can survive an MB explosion and still remain the same person... I guess time will tell, no? :-) <br /><br />Wait, why are there 14 types of Ashtangis now? Gosh, the number just keeps going up, doesn't it?
