A note on vitality
Dr. Karl Pribram visited Dr. Feldenkrais’ training program in San Francisco, California, in the 1970s where they had a series of conversations discussing their respective understanding of how the brain works.
Dr. Pribram taught neurophysiology and physiological psychology at Yale University and he was Professor of Neuroscience at Stanford University. He was known for "his seminal role in the cognitive revolution and for his pioneering contributions to the computational, theoretical and physiological foundations of brain function and behavior.”
Note the posture
Regardless of the brain power involved, I often show this picture to my students for another reason: To demonstrate how two different individuals, Dr. Pribram (left) and Moshe, present themselves physically, especially in their later years. Look at Moshe's posture, his orientation over the hip joints, his uprightness and presence compared to Dr. Pribram.
Both are accomplished individuals, but who is more vital?
“Embrace your mistakes. If you want to find the full range of human activity, you have to make many mistakes.”
