| 2324655 | The strangest request I have encountered was that of a first-time mother who--just before pushing--asked her husband for a jar of peanut butter and proceeded to eat two heaping table-spoonfuls.

| 2670bdf | It's sometimes said that the greatest remaining scientific questions are: What caused the Big Bang?

And what is the relationship between the mind and the brain, especially regarding conscious experience? | Rick Hanson | ||
| 1958f85 | most of the shaping of your mind remains forever unconscious.

| cc31073 | The autobiographical self (D'Amasio 2000) incorporates the reflective self and some of the emotional self, and it provides the sense of "I" having a unique past and future.
