Edgar Mitchell and the Big Picture Effect

Astronaut experiences Samadhi in space

This 10-minute video is of an interview with Edgar Mitchell, astronaut on the Apollo 14 mission and the sixth man to walk on the moon, about how seeing the ‘big picture’ in space transformed him and many other astronauts. This interview is part of Jules Evans’ book, Philosophy for Life and Other Dangerous Situations, about how people use ancient philosophy in modern life.

Mitchell is the founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences http://www.noetic.org/
