Modern science has made significant progress in answering these and many others questions that relate to the mind. However, science is a relatively young discipline. There are ancient traditions, going back many thousands of years, that gained deep insight through various methods such as meditation. Though at first glance “mystical” in nature, these traditions yielded strikingly practical tools for managing our wayward minds.

This web site melds the ancient and the modern, with a view to forging a new synthesis of spiritual and scientific conceptions of mind. "But to what end?" you might be forgiven for asking. My motivation is simply to explore the knowledge, tools and techniques that can bring us peace of mind. Other than idle intellectual curiosity, I'm only interested in the mind because its study can provide insights into how we can be happy from moment to moment.
