Sound Healing Video: TED Talk of Rajesh Rao: A Rosetta Stone for the Indus Script
Music, Talk and Tech: TED Talk Video ~ Rajesh Rao: A Rosetta Stone for the Indus Script
Rajesh Rao is fascinated by "the mother of all crossword puzzles": How to decipher the 4000 year old Indus script. At TED 2011 he tells how he is enlisting modern computational techniques to read the Indus language, the key piece to understanding this ancient civilization.
The Chumash Bands, who were the original inhabitants of Los Angeles, the Channel Islands, and the coastal areas of Southern California, lived by three basic laws which were:
1. Limitation: this meant each individual should recognize and accept his or her limitations, and not envy those of others. This mean that each member of the tribe should be happy in their abilities, for they all had equal value in the community.
2. Moderation: take only what you need from the land and the ocean. Leave some for future days and future peoples. The same goes for your tasks; better to take your time than make a mistake which would render all your work useless.
3. Compensation: give without expecting anything in return, give from the kindness of your heart, and recognize the fact that compensation comes in many forms which are not always tangible.
