It is just like kids to NOT do their homework. Silly--eh? Well, did you ever look up the defintition of "Consciousness"(or "Quantum" or contemplate what the implications for "Interface" implies)?---actually, if you haven't--now that I am coming back to this ridiculous e-mail I wrote with you in mind---you probably, faster than anyone, would "do your homework"--forgive me. CONSCIOUSNESS: n. 1. The knowledge of sensations and mental operations, or of what passes, in one's own mind; the state of being conscious(nothing silly so far). 2. Feeling or internal sense or knowledge of guilt or innocense;as, man(let me stress MAN) may betray his consciousness of guilt by his countenance. 3. Certain knowledge from observation or experience; as, the consciousness of external objects. Syn.--Feeling, attention, sensation. --WEBSTER'S New Twentieth Century DICTIONARY of the ENGLISH LANGUAGE---Unabridged(1951--wow, long before the "new age") Perhaps we should take a look at The American Heritage STEADMAN'S MEDICAL DICTIONARY(for we want to stay on the medical side of things here, right?). n. 1. The state or condition of being conscious. 2. A sense of one's personal or collective identity, especially the complex of attitudes, beliefs, and sensitivities held by or considered characteristic of an individual or a group. 3. In psychoanalysis, the conscious. Do I agree with the above? Not exactly. It is a fine definition for the "conscious mind", but not consciousness. (a great example where health and new age intermingles)Dr. Caroline Myss(ANATOMY OF THE SPIRIT) writes: >Consciousness is the ability to release the old and embrace the new with awareness that all things end at the appropriate time and that all things begin at the appropriate time(ooo, feel that left brain fighting with the right). This truth is difficult to learn to live with because human beings seek stability---the absence of change. >Given the power of unified beliefs--right or wrong--it is difficult to be >at variance with one's tribe. We are taught to make choices that meet with >tribal approval. >..many are stuck between two worlds: the old world that they need to >release and the new world that they are afraid to enter. We are attracted >to becoming more "conscious", but at the same time we find it frightening >because it means we must take personal responsibility for ourselves---and >for our health(Dr. Nelson is SO big on this--as many others are becoming >too), career, attitudes, and thoughts. Once we accept personal >responsibility for even one area of our lives, we can never again use >"tribal reasoning" to excuse our behavior. Nothing can be experienced by us except in accordance with our own state of consciousness (Paul Twithchell). Ever notice that if you have a problem(for ex: with a boss or a authority figure) that that problem keeps resurfing itself no matter how many jobs we quit to only start up at another with the same type of boss(in our minds) with the same problem--it is only a different face wearing the same problem. Until we change our consciousness(which is gaining the lesson to be learned), we will repeat and repeat that same lesson. Likewise, when we have moved beyond that particular one, we are then all set for the next. It is like moving into a bigger room---with bigger problems--but at least the old ones are passe'. The world around us(as we see it) reflects ourselves. I'm looking right now at a color print of Noah Webster and for the life of me I don't know why "hoitish" comes to mind. So why not look it up(yeh, yeh, once a teacher always a teacher)? Anyway, hoit means to leap, to caper(what? what does caper mean?---such a silly man was Webster, right?). Now, I've got to look up caper. Ah, caper means "a leap;a skip or jump; as in dancing or mirth"(what's mirth--who cares--right?), "or in the frolic of a goat or lamb".(could that be a sheep?--bahhhh, bahhhh). "To leap into the heart of truth"---nah What is she talking about, pray tell(is that correct?). I am talking about consciousness. It is time to stop prancing around the truth(okay--my truth, anyway). Consciousness is everything(when you get smaller than quantic levels). It only takes a leap(no, not of faith) of one's attention to have a sudden change of consciousness. Now I didn't want to go into this, but here I go anyway(you did it again Ivan--I am spurred on). The laws of thermodynamics(which is the law of death--dead people are people who have succumbed to the temperature of the room--they have become thermodynamic--it is a Newtonian law and states: 1. cannot be created or destroyed--(actually that sounds like consciousness, oh well)--and 2. heat will pass from a warm body to a cold, BUT WE WORK IN A QUANTIC WAY). Anyway, 10 -10(ten to the ten---darn no key on my keyboard to write it properly) is the size of thermodynamics. Heizemburg's equation---10 -25(ten to the twenty-fifth) is quantum(now that was the other "silly term" used--right?). A synaptic is quantic, it is at 10 to the 23rd--or is it the 28th--who's counting?(you know--synaptic cleft in the brain--all part of that other "silly" word: consciousness) In quantum terms we do not know--it is based upon probabilities---we have uncertainty. The body is quantic(remember?) and when you have a quantic event the mind of the experimentor can interface with the outcome. Why? We are all connected in "subspace" through "consciousness". Hey, don't look at me, I didn't make this up. Glad I'm not the first to say it either, for those guys get put to death--you know--"shoot the messenger"---or put him into thermdynamics! Where are all these "silly" scientists going with this? Well, as I said before they are going to the point where they realize that smaller than 10 -28th is CONSCIOUSNESS. So glad my mission isn't to prove this. But if it were I'd enjoy it. "Radionics"--what is it?---a darn silly thing(okay, I'll let up on that). It is the ability of one person's mind to affect another--it influences the consciousness. Does this sound like nonsense? Remember Dr. Sperry(a surgeon)? He pioneered split brain theory. When he completed the severing(of the corpus collosum---okay, I know a tiny bit of a quantic amount about the brain), the grand mal seizures stopped, but now he had 2 people types. Anyway, Sperry said that everything he was taught in school about the brain was false(sure glad I didn't waste my time taking anymore of those classes). We are in a "new age"--a new age of knowledge--of truth(I hope). But at what point in history could one argue it was not a new age to them? It is all relative(I think). Thank goodness I have not succumbed to the temperature of the room. Perhaps I'll get to see where this is all leading to---you know this silly consciousness and quantic theory stuff. Might take a few hundred years. I'd get into the aspect of the next term: "Interface", for that part is truly fascinating. Hmmm, the ability to interface---"to go where no man has gone before". Just kidding. We are forever interfacing, for if we weren't we'd truly be thermodynamic. The Quantum Xrroid Consciousness Interface. The ability of the device to interface with the patient. Not a new concept as I had to get an EEG after the accident. That device, too, interfaced with me--reading out data through electrodes hooked to my head. It reminded me of the QXCI and its electrodes. (big hint:)Did I tell you about the submarine that the govt. invented? They too knew(of course) about adding consciousness to a machine. Guess what? It didn't work. Why? Because sometimes when they asked it to do something--such as shoot this missile, and the sub pretty much responded, "nah, not today".(well, not in those exact terms---please do not make me have to prove this statement too). What was the name of that movie where the computer had a mind of its own--the name of the movie was the computer's name?(Hal, I think) Truth is stranger than fiction. But what is fiction? Ever notice that which people once thought was fiction later became truth? Here's an old new age truth: there is not one thought that we can have--no original thought for everything we can imagine already exists somewhere else--we are just manifesting it here---ooooooo---leaves out the ego--for we are not the original thinkers we thought we were! It's funny, because in my opinion the new age movement seems to be a symptom of the expansion of the human state of consciousness(some people might say it is really just old stuff coming back around again---it is all in the "cycles"). Just an observation(though I certainly don't agree with alot that is coming out--but hey, I will say it--there seems to be a whole lot of disinformation being fed--even to the new agers--- bahhh, bahhh). Bottom line: if it is silly to you then that is all that counts. Who am I or anyone else to change your state of consciousness on anything. Though I tried(due in part to my ignorance). Indeed, the scientific method should not be abandoned--just wanted you to know what I thought in relation to such. I do not believe in the power of pendulums nor doing muscle testing(on oneself) to figure out what someone else needs. Who convinced me---partly my own personal experience--didn't take long to figure out how the mind affects the outcome as in playing around with a pendulum on e day. Dr. Nelson taught me a year ago through a movie(at first)(can't remember the name) where they used the "scientific method and DISPROVED 1000's of practitioners called---Assisted writers(?)--I think? This is where the practitioners, after $10,000.00 put into the training in order to obtain the license, worked with autistic children. They would do so by holding onto the child' arm, lead that child's pointing finger to the letter on the key board. Parents were having their children ripped from them, and even some parents thrown into jail as a result of what the children were supposedly writing(such as: my father makes love to me every night in my as...."). Study after study--double blind was performed and it was proven that there was NO validity in this method. In the experiment they would show the assisted writer a picture, then they would show a differnet picture to the child(though the A.W. believed the child was being show the same photo. Every single time the child, through the assisted writer, wrote the name of the picture that the assisted writer saw, NOT the picture that the child was shown. There was more to this study, obviously. I am urked to no end on the use of pendulums and kinesiology--from a distance to find TRUTH. Is that the "new age" stuff you refer to? The ability of a good teacher is to sense when he/she has lost or thoroughly annoyed her students...I take my leave now. Okay, one more thing, so I am not a good teacher(it is that "can't shut up" problem): (paraphrased, in part, from the ELEGANT UNIVERSE by Brian Greene) Progress in science proceeds in fits and starts. Some periods are filled with great breakthroughs; at other times researchers experience dry spells. Scientists put forward results, both theoretical and experimental(that is why I believe I am attracted to this list). The results are debated by the community, sometimes they are discarded, sometimes they are modified, and sometimes they provide inspirational jumping-off points(as in a caper, a leap, a sort of dance) for new and more accurate ways of understanding the physical universe. In other words, science proceeds along a zig-zag path toward what we hope will be ultimate truth--a path that began with humanity's earliest attempts to fathom the cosmos and whose end we cannot predict. But the last two decades of research by hundreds of dedicated physicists and mathematicians from numerous countries(yes, Hungary included) have given us well-founded hope that we are on the right and possibly final track. So let us not quickly dismiss something because it sounds "silly" to us, but let it be the spring board toward the posing and contemplation of new questions which seek out a new corner on truth. "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad." Aldous Huxley If it doesn't make you mad than it just might make you glad(what is that?: "if you can get what you want you just might get what you need") Ah, but what is truth, grasshopper? As Mr. Glad says, "why get mad when you can get glad?" You really shouldn't encourage me, Rob(>Pamela, you are like a breath of fresh air...please keep writing. Rob) Well, that was fun even if I did lose my audience a few hundred paragraphs ago. This feels like the old movies where the guy who gets shot is taking forever to succumb to the temperature around him. In Search of Truth Always, Pam ..and Good Night to you all.
