As the heights achieved by civilization today have resulted from the boundless creativity of the human brain, so do the key to the peace of humankind and the answer to the global crisis reside in our brains. Many of the developed countries have called the 21st century the “Century of the Brain,” and they have directed great hopes and massive financial investments towards brain research. Without doubt, multidimensional studies of the human brain will help us understand the role and value of the brain in various fields such as health, education and culture. Yet though the brain is the control tower of all human activity, our understanding of the brain should not rest solely or even primarily on reductionistic logic. We should develop a greater appreciation for the brain’s complexity and deep potential. We find that, when different brains are presented with the same information, different ways of processing information result in absolutely different consequences. Everything depends on how well we operate the brain, and how deeply we can trust it. The value of a person will differ according to the quantity and quality of information in their brain. Furthermore, people can live creative and peaceful lives when they obtain authentic ownership of their brains, freeing themselves from the bondage of knowledge. As the ultimate means to access our unlimited human potential, brain-oriented education will play a major role in determining the future of our planet. The brain is unique as it is a part of the body as well as the stuff of the mind. When there is a critical mass of human brains performing to their full capacity, we will see a new change leading to an evolutionary leap in human consciousness. It is time for us to realize that our brain is the last asset and hope of human beings. When we recognize the power of our brain as an object for utilization, we will appreciate its ability to create the healthier, happier and more peaceful life that every human being desires. Brain-focused education is the key to the future of humanity and the earth. Ilchi Lee President, Korea Institute of Brain Science Mr. Oscar Arias Sanchez President, Republic of Costa Rica T HE C ITY OF N EW Y ORK O FFICE OF THE M AYOR N EW Y ORK, NY 10007 June 20, 2008 Dear Friends: It is a great pleasure to welcome everyone to the International Brain Education Conference hosted by the Korea Institute of Brain Science.

It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 26.2, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948. 2008 marks the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. How can we achieve the great aims for education enshrined in this document? The burden of Brain Education is to guide individuals and organizations in better application of the brain, to develop greater power for self-management, pro-sociality and cooperation, and positive action. Humanity’s greatest asset is the brain. The Fourth International Brain Education Conference marks a new era of awareness - that the future of education and hope for the earth depend essentially on how we access and use brain. 03 SPONSORING ORGANIZatIONS KOREA INSTITUTE OF BRAIN SCIENCE The Korea Institute of Brain Science is a not-for-profit research institute whose mission is to develop innovative, behavioral interventions for bettering human brain function, to elucidate their mechanisms of action, and to identify practical applications. To support the creation of a global culture of wellbeing and peacefulness, KIBS foresees that the best strategy is the one readily available to all: better use of the brain itself.

  • Scb Fall 2020
    SCB FALL 2020 SCB: TRULY INDEPENDENT To our publishers, sales representatives, authors, customers, staff, friends and everyone in our distribution network: We want you to know we look forward to this Fall 2020 season, the next and the next and beyond, as we rise to the challenges of how Covid-19 will affect the future of bookselling. As we experience this new landscape together, we also want you to know: YOU make us strong. With your support, SCB has successfully surfed every dramatic change in the publishing business over the last 30 years. We also credit our loyal, long-tenured staff (with 150+ combined years), as well as the diligence and sincerity each one of us brings to our beloved profession. We’re one of a kind because you’re one of a kind. Thank you, and stay well, Aaron Silverman and Molly Maguire SCB: TRULY INDEPENDENT The cover image for this catalog is from the book The Works of Hayao Miyazaki: The Master of Japanese Animation, by Gael Berton, published by Third Editions, and found on page 15 of this catalog. Catalog layout by Dan Nolte, based on an original idea by Rama Crouch-Wong. I’ll Fly Away By Rudy Francisco In this stunning, intimate follow-up to Helium, Francisco’s poems savor the day-to-day. Treating the ordinary as worthy of worship, he turns each moment into an opportunity to plant new seeds of growth. He even creates his own words for the things our language cannot give name to, for example: “Felenter (Noun) Definition: Someone who finds joy in things that people believe to be mundane.” There aren’t enough songs about minding your own business or staying home on a Saturday because you think most people are exhausting, but I do believe that we deserve an anthem.

  • What Julian Saw: the Embodied Showings and the Items for Private Devotion
    religions Article What Julian Saw: The Embodied Showings and the Items for Private Devotion Juliana Dresvina History Faculty, University of Oxford, 41-47 George St, Oxford OX1 2BE, UK; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2019; Accepted: 29 March 2019; Published: 2 April 2019 Abstract: The article traces potential visual sources of Julian of Norwich’s (1343–after 1416) Revelations or Showings, suggesting that many of them come from familiar everyday devotional objects such as Psalters, Books of Hours, or rosary beads. It attempts to approach Julian’s text from the perspective of neuromedievalism, combining more familiar textual analysis with some recent findings in clinical psychology and neuroscience. By doing so, the essay emphasizes the embodied nature of Julian’s visions and devotions as opposed to the more apophatic approach expected from a mystic. Keywords: revelations; mysticism; ekphrasis; neuromedievalism; neuroarthistory; psychohistory; Julian of Norwich; visions; sleep paralysis; psalters; books of hours; rosary beads 1. Introduction This paper has a very simple thesis to illustrate: that a lot, if not most of theology, found in the writings of Julian of Norwich (1343–after 1416)—a celebrated mystic and the first English female author known by name—comes from familiar, close-to-home objects and images. Images are such an integral aspect of our existence that the famous neuroscientist Rodolfo Llinás, and many after him, claimed that our brain is about making images (Llinás and Paré 1991; Damasio 2010, pp. 63–88). However, such complicated private visual experiences as dream-visions or mystical revelations are insufficient to synthesise knowledge per se, particularly if understood as aimed at a broader community.

  • Prayer of Peace by Ilchi Lee
    Prayer of Peace by Ilchi Lee I offer this prayer of peace Help us all go beyond Not to the Christian God Our small limits Nor to the Buddhist God And realize that we are one Nor to the Islamic God That we are all from the earth. Nor to the Jewish God That we are all earth people But to the God of all humanity before we are Indians, Koreans, or Americans For the peace that we wish for God made the earth Is Not a Christian peace We humans have to make it prosper Nor a Buddhist peace By realizing that we are of the earth Nor an Islamic peace And not of any nation, race, or religion. Nor a Jewish peace By knowing that we are truly one But a human peace In our spiritual heritage. For all of us. Let us now apologize I offer this prayer of peace to all humanity To the God that lives within all of us For the hurt that religions have caused That fills us with happiness and joy So that we can heal the hurt To make us whole Let us now promise to one another And help us understand life To go beyond egotism and competition As an expression of love for all human beings To come together as one in God. For no religion can be better I offer this prayer of peace Than any other religion To you the almighty For no truth can be truer To help us find you within all of us Than any other truth So that we may stand proudly one day before you For no nation can be bigger As one humanity.
