ep. 62 - Spiritual transformation, Ph.D in Psychology and moving to Sedona (with Erienne Weine)

Here in this video I talk to Erienne Weine about why she studies Psychology (all the way to a Ph.D.); cognitive science & how our mind works; how memory can change - especially an emotionally charged memory; her moving to Sedona; spiritual change in her life as a result of prayer and spiritual work; synchronicities; the Milgram Experiment; study of how the holocaust could have happened; 'I was just following orders'; The Trolley Problem; Freud's concept of the ego; Psychoanalysis and free association; Zimbardo's Prison experiment & how easy it is, under certain conditions, to bring out 'evil' from people; Unabomber's history - being a subject of a Harvard torture study; correlation with resentments and fat retention in the body; 'Forgive or stay fat'; importance of boundaries; the problem of 'knowledge politics' in academia & what cognitive dissonance is.
