Thanks for posting this excellent, important talk! I love Daniel Siegel's work, and this talk is a great overview. I'd love to hear him talk further about whether any schools are dealing with the other three R's, and what parents can do to help their children develop more mindsight.

These CEs are in the excess of trillions of Gauze magnitude in magnetic current and are shot off into space in a linear fashion which collides with other planetary body's magnetospheres which absorb the CE Gauze and route these CEs into its field which are then

Great video Dr. Siegel! I look forward to the day when the 3 Rs are incorporated into our educational system.
