In Pictures
The same story this whole site tells, here in images, each with just a few words.
Sometimes a picture says in a glance what ten pages of careful argument take all day to say. This page walks through Deepermind the short way: the map, the parts working together, the body and its centers, the senses and the emotions, meaning, consciousness, prayer, the leading edge of science, common ground with the world's traditions, and where it all actually began.
The Story, Briefly
Twenty-One Pictures
The Old Person and the New Person After Following Deepermind Principles
If you do not examine your inner life, your life may fall apart without direction and self guidance. For example, you might say yes and experiment with drugs.
When the Parts Work Together
Inside us we have the mind, the emotions, and the ego that need to understand each other. For example, the mind needs to adjust the ego so that it is humble and wise. Coherence means that the inner self parts work together. All the parts and subparts are aligned so they support each other.
Going In Here
Before any map can be drawn, a person has to actually look inward first.
The Body's Centers
The Chakras are NOT real places in the body. But it seems that energy moves through more than just thought and feeling. The body has its own centers, its own old language for the same territory.
The Senses, Wide Open
Rain on the face, a hand lifted to feel it. The senses asking only to be noticed.
The Weather of Feeling
We can rise above bad feelings. We do have emotional weather, however.
Meaning and the Path
There is a light within us we call the soul. Here soul just means our higher self.
The Hardest Question
What is consciousness? The one thing nearer than anything else, and still the hardest thing for science to explain.
Facing the Light
Whatever consciousness turns out to be, it has always faced toward something larger than itself.
The Inner World
Life is a series of experiences. Some happen as reflected from the real world, and others in our imaginations and dreams.
Prayer
If prayers could change the physical world, there are so many prayers directed to the kings and queens of the world, they will live forever. But prayers can work in our inner world where we find peace.
We Might Be Small in Size, but Huge in Complexity and Wisdom
The universe is extremely large, but humans are more powerful than anything we know.
The Leading Edge
Science keeps looking for new answers.
The Dynamics of Science
Waves, fields, and rhythms give us the complicated yet beautiful universe.
Common Ground With Atheism
Atheism and Deepermind do not agree on everything, but both insist on evidence over comfort.
Common Ground With Buddhism
Different language, strikingly similar inner truths.
Common Ground With Christianity
Prayer, love, and compassion, named differently, pointing at the same inner ground.
Tending the Body
Optimizing the inner world starts with the simple, unglamorous choice of what to put in the body.
The Company
Deepermind did not arrive alone. Many others mapped this same territory first.
Authors George Norwood and Michael A. Singer
This is a fake ChatGPT picture. George Norwood never met Michael A. Singer and he never worked with me. But this is a nice dream of mine.
