"The Secret Intelligence Within" A Lecture with David Oliver
January 15, 2015
The second lecture in the series “The Intelligent Universe” with David Oliver is slated for Sunday, January 18 at the Reynolds Homestead beginning at 3:00 p.m.
Entitled
“The Secret Intelligence Within,” Oliver outlines the lecture as follows: “Beneath
our consciousness, another civilization exists within our bodies flourishing in
countless small lives of bacteria and cells essential for our tissues, organs,
body, brain, and the mind we call ‘ourselves’. “The
gut is central to this inner world possessing its own intelligence and a second
brain rich in neurons complementary to the brain in our heads. We recognize the
gut’s brain in the saying ‘I know it in my gut’—which is more than a metaphor.
A healthy mind and healthy gut mutually nourish one another. We are ‘one
life’ made of ‘many intelligent lives within.’
“In
this lecture I’ll take us into this hidden world whose activities are
fundamental to all we are and do from moods and feeling to running and heavy lifting.”
The
lecture is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
