Remembering the wisdom of the past and updating it.

When we deny one aspect of life, sooner or later we notice the price, personally and culturally, of our blindness. The Eastern cultures have exclusively mastered the inner life, but this has been accompanied by material poverty. We in the West have exclusively mastered the outer life but ended up with spiritual poverty. In both instances, achievements in one direction led to suffering in the other. That is why the East is now witnessing a rise in materialism, and the West is now experiencing a rising interest in the mind and spirit. In each case the forgotten half of the human experience eventually reasserts itself as our life force continue to seek a balance of inner and outer that alone can lead to sustained health, happiness, and wholeness.
We do not need to invent something new; we merely need to remember the wisdom of the past and update it for our time.

Welcome to all my classmates and Dr.Stewart.

It is wonderful to be a part of this health and wellness class. I hope that we can come together and make necessary changes through learning and continually practicing what is truly necessary to alleviate unecessary suffering from our world. We are blessed to have Kaplan University and the staff to allow us the opportunity through the internet, to access this knowledge and come together as a whole and share. This transformation requires each of us to look within ourselves and find the purpose we have on earth and become positive, powerful, productive, and highly effective in our mission. We must always remember that change can be hard, but it is indeed necessary for growth. I thank you for allowing me this opportunity to grow with you.
