PS: Great about your heart rate! Mine seems to stay high, in the 70s and 80s even at rest. I wonder if that is because of all the simulants I took recreationally and later for medicinal purposes. I just hope my ticker has lots of ticks left...at least until I can thruhike the Appalachian Trail.

Its just a genetic thing, I think, though my meditation and always being very active helped. Yeah, my dad also pecked (and managed to avoid computers altogether).:-) My career involved technical training, primarily focused on curriculum design and development, in tech, and industrial

Thanks Doc. What you state makes sense to me. Life is large. It's nice to keep it in perspective. I may have asked before if you are familiar with the Institute of HeartMath? It gets into how our hearts think...not as metaphor, but how our hearts actually help us make decisions. Which

Thanks for the suggested materials - I haven't heard about the Institute of HeartMath. It is an enjoyable study, to watch when the heart overflows sometimes, and other times when the knife sharp intellect must organize something. The book sounds cool too. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com,

Here's one link to HeartMath. http://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/introduction.html There is a story, of course, as to how I 'chanced' upon HeartMath's work in the early 2000s as I perused the (now obsolete, RIP) bookshelves at Borders intuitively perusing for my next book to

I'd enjoy hearing that if you care to share it. I flashed through the link to HeartMath, and there is some great stuff in there, will return for a larger meal later - liked the change in perspective, from the traditional approach, brain impulses influencing the heart, to the heart's influence,

Great post Doc. I've asked myself many times over How long does *this* take? Why the eff does it keep coming up to haunt me? I've often wished for a don't-give-a-damn switch, in the sense of be able to 'get over' something. Like other folks who've lived some life, I have techniques in my tool

Thank you - Yeah, its not an either/or for me, regarding expression of the past. However we express and *integrate* it. The interesting thing I have found is that once the past issues have been faced, they don't go away. Instead, they simply become part of the integrated memory landscape,

The other thing that occurs to me about this process, is the self preservation that issues themselves take on, within us, within our awareness. Sort of the Alien scenario, without the exploding chest. Seriously, they form themselves such that they are protected from our examination. The

Yah. (Carol smiles) What an incredible voyage O\or, as the Grateful Dead put it...what a long, strange trip it's been... Except it's not all been; it continues on as an is. I wonder if there is an eternity and if there will be a time when all is naked and when all is somehow reconciled?

I hope there are thoughts in eternity. Seems it'd be very boring otherwise. But, I'm probably missing your point. Or maybe part of your point is there is no point? (I vaguely recall that movie, The Point. ) So, if I understand what you are saying... our thoughts protect us from eternity (or
