In This Interview, Dr. Chris Niebauer and I Discuss Neuropsychology and the Thinking Mind…
- His book, No Self, No Problem: How Neuropsychology is Catching Up to Buddhism
- How the “Mind 1.0 program” is an outdated program that we’re all running on
- We don’t update this “program” because we don’t know it’s there
- Understanding the concept of self and the idea of who we think we are
- Our thinking mind is not accurate, but we think our thoughts are reality
- More thinking doesn’t solve a thinking problem
- Differences between left and right brain thinking
- Disconnecting the thinking mind from consciousness in meditation
- Realizing the limitations of the thinking mind
- How the thinking mind is not who you are and is geared to finding problems
- Recognizing that consciousness is far more vast than the thinking mind
- Neuropsychology function is to tell us who we’re not
- Buddha’s teaching of everything changes
- How perception is a biological function
