It's 1990 and Birmingham metal band Judas Priest are on trial in court in Reno, Nevada. The band are accused of influencing the suicide and suicide attempt of two of their young fans by placing subliminal messages in their track Better By You, Better Than Me. What follows is a six week trial - the first to be filmed for Court TV - in which the lives of the boys' families are devastatingly pulled apart in front of the cameras, junk science is flung around the courtroom. The band will have to prove their innocence, in a classic piece of courtroom theatre, by explaining the suspicious nonsense phrases found when they play their music backwards. Matthew Syed tells the story of the case and examines the stubborn myth of mind control and hidden influences. From the fascination with subliminal messages in mid-century advertising, to self-help tapes in the 1980s and the fear for the minds of young YouTube fans falling asleep to strange sounds in order to wake up with glowing skin, Matthew considers the misconceptions about the way we're influenced. With David Van Taylor, filmmaker and director of Dream Deceivers: Heavy Metal on Trial; Timothy E. Moore, professor in the Department of Psychology, Glendon College, York University; and Hugo Mercier, research scientist at the CNRS Institut Jean Nicod, Paris. Wilson B.

Virtually real —We see it just as it is,sitting with fixed gaze* * *All reality is virtual. In Zen, it has long been accepted or received wisdom that what we perceive as reality is actually a construction. Our process in zazen is one of deconstructing the senses, which, not coincidentally, is the title of the longest chapter in my book, The Original Frontier, to be released this January (and available for pre-order on Amazon.com). But Zen is not the only field that recognizes this ancient truth. It is also being demonstrated by modern scientific experiment.One of our affiliate practice leaders sent me this link to an interesting article online. It turned out to be interesting indeed, as a modern approach to challenging the evidence of our senses, generally the basis of the empirical method, usually synonymous with scientific method. Quoting briefly from the text:“It’s really important to understand we’re not seeing reality,” says neuroscientist Patrick Cavanagh, a research professor at Dartmouth College and a senior fellow at Glendon College in Canada. “We’re seeing a story that’s being created for us.”Most of the time, the story our brains generate matches the real, physical world — but not always. Our brains also unconsciously bend our perception of reality to meet our desires or expectations. And they fill in gaps using our past experiences.All of this can bias us. Visual illusions present clear and interesting challenges for how we live: How do we know what’s real? And once we know the extent of our brain’s limits, how do we live with more humility — and think with greater care about our perceptions?One of the classic examples of optical illusions included is the ambiguous horse-seal figure. This is familiar territory in design thinking as well as psychiatry and brain science, but with the advanced animated graphics, they are able to illustrate the illusions more vividly than the older static examples.Where this lives in Buddhist mind science, or Zen, is at the juncture of the middle Skandha, Perception, which bridges the two material aggregates, Form and Sensation, with the immaterial ones of Mental Formations, aka impulse, motivation or desire, and Consciousness itself. The monkey-mind conjoined twin of Perception is conception, or thought, which comes to effect perception in our consciousness. Stillness, particularly when amplified by the fixed gaze in zazen, pushes that envelope until something has to give. When it does, the whole construct of the self comes crashing down. This is what is known as insight, into the emptiness of the constructed self.You don't have to have demonstrations of optical illusions if you pay close attention to your vision in zazen. Same for the senses of sound & tactility, which manifest on lower levels of the electromagnetic spectrum. Sitting still enough for long enough reverses this natural process of sensory adaptation, eventually. The lines in the Heart Sutra: “Given emptiness no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind; no seeing, no hearing, no smelling, no tasting, no touching, no thinking; no realm of sight no realm of mind-consciousness” are pointing to. Read the “Surangama Sutra” for more detail from Buddha himself. Along with optical illusion there is audio illusion and tactile illusion. Smell and taste are in there too, but they adapt immediately. The last of the Six Senses in Buddhism being thinking, there is finally mental illusion, distorted sense-data of the brain itself, to be overcome in zazen.Also for further study read the article and look at the animated examples. This is parallel to our approach to studying the mind directly in zazen. Then the next time you are in sitting in zazen:LOOK - LOOK - LOOK!LISTEN - LISTEN - LISTEN!FEEL - FEEL - FEEL!NONTHINK - NONTHINK - NONTHINK!* * *Elliston Roshi is guiding teacher of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center and abbot of the Silent Thunder Order. He is also a gallery-represented fine artist expressing his Zen through visual poetry, or “music to the eyes.”UnMind is a production of the Atlanta Soto Zen Center in Atlanta, Georgia and the Silent Thunder Order.

On this episode, we’ll be looking ahead to CRAM, a one-night festival of ideas that is bringing Toronto’s four main universities together (imagine an all-night art festival, but for research). We look at two of the night's most unique presentations. Patrick Alcedo is a scholar, dancer, filmmaker, and associate professor in York’s Department of Dance. His presentation “The Global Filipino: A Moving Experience,” brings together his many interests. Combining documentary film, lecture, and live Philippine folk dances, the presentation explores the Filipino diaspora in Canada. PLUS: Wouldn’t it be nice to study Edward Snowden’s leaked documents without the government knowing? Well, good news – there’s a technology for that. The Snowden Archive-in-a-Box in an offline archive of all of the publicly available files that Snowden leaked. Libraries and other institutions can use this technology to disseminate sensitive material without incorporating it into their actual collections. Evan Light is an assistant professor of Communications at Glendon College, and shows how it works. CRAM takes place April 5. For more information, go to https://cramtoronto.com/.

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Paul Bedford, Ken Greenberg and Patrick Luciani In Conversation With Christopher Hume On Visions for the Toronto of the Future Toronto regularly makes the list as one of the world's 10 most livable cities, and is viewed by many in Canada and abroad as a city that works on a number of fundamental levels. It is, of course, nothing more and nothing less than the many decades of good planning and vision that have gone into building it up from the muddy old town of York to the fourth largest metropolis on the continent, and a business and cultural centre that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The Toronto Star has been inviting citizens to share with others their vision for the future of Toronto, what we must do to continue to be the envy of so many around the world and continue to attract major investment and great people. Whether this vision is based on new architecture, access to the lakefront and river systems, improved mass transit or more technology, readers have responded enthusiastically to Toronto Star journalist Christopher Hume's call for vision papers, and there has been a wealth of original and often inspirational submissions that give us all food for thought. Christopher Hume and three outstanding visionaries on Toronto's future reflect on what our City could and should look like as we get further into this new century, and the impact of these visions on the quality of everyday life. Christopher Hume is the architecture critic and urban issues columnist of the Toronto Star. Since the 1980s, when he began working for the Star, he has received five NNA nominations.
