Old Man on the Island

Spiritual Story by Anthony de Mello



An old man had lived most of his life on what was considered to be one of the loveliest islands in the world. Now that he had returned to spend his retirement years in the big city, someone said to him:

"It must have been wonderful to live for so many years on an island that is considered one of the wonders of the world."

The old man gave that some thought, then said, "Well, to tell you the truth, if I had known it was so famous, I'd have looked at it."

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.
