Socrates and the Marketplace

Spiritual Story by Anthony de Mello



True philosopher that he as, Socrates believed that the wise person would instinctively lead a frugal life. He himself would not even wear shoes; yet he fell under the spell of the marketplace and would go there often to look at all the wares on display.

When one of his friends asked why, Socrates said: "I love to go there and discover how many things I am perfectly happy without."

Control How You Feel

The Brain Salon is a powerful collection of 'brainwave CDs' to help you change how you feel - just by sitting back and listening for 30 minutes. All you have to do is click 'Play.'

It works by using special sounds to influence your brainwave patterns. This gently changes how you feel, helping induce specific states of mind - such as increased focus, or deepened relaxation.
