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  • How the “Mind 1.0 program” is an outdated program that we’re all running on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
