I sometimes listen to Meatloaf while eating mashed potatoes. But I've never had them both for dinner.

Poor Meatloaf. Frankfurter had him for dinner.

Either both of you had too much of mushed potatoes, or somebody is quite smashed!

Frank-N-Furter, it's all over
Your mission is a failure
Your lifestyle's too extreme
I'm your new commander
You now are my prisoner
We return to Transylvania
Prepare the transit beam

... that used to be my favorite movie...

By the Way

CERN reopened today. The tiny piece of solder that shorted the wire that blew out four hundred feet of the supercollider is now fixed. It started back up today.

By the Way

Nov. 6th is the day the movie about ESP is openning at the cinema near you:

"THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS"

What about the men who stare at Goat Cheese?

... That's another movie all together! :kaugh:

_____Intuition Development Technique______

Even Einstein said that most of his innovation was actually just good guessing. A talent is something that some people are born with while others have to work at it.

*** One of the ways of developing your intuition is to use it:
just follow your hunches and see if it gets you the desired result.***********************
By following through on your everyday hunches, you are actually taking test drives, virtually honing in on your listening skills. These skills will serve you well. Everyone is apparently somewhat psychic, but many people just have flabby psychic muscles. Learning to listen to your inner dialog tones and strengthens this muscle. The more you use your intuition the better you get at it. When we choose to ignore our gut instincts, we are only hurting ourselves.

the body is made of consciousness. This implies that by the will and the intention we place upon ourselves, we can affect our bodies directly. Our bodies, when broken down to their smallest levels are also energetic frequencies.

"I maintain that cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest incitement to scientific research"—Albert Einstein
Einstein himself admitted that what he did best was being good at guessing.*** He implied that what he chose to pay attention to was an aesthetic choice. Even still, as much as 80% of the mass of the universe is apparently unaccounted for, in spite of such elegant theories of the universe. Mankind has not only became aware of the complexity of the physical world but also of the limitations of the scientific method.

Apparently the most direct way to find new physics of a grand unification is to go to ever-higher energy and explore completely uncharted territory. There seems to be an intrinsically interwoven relationship between Modern Science and Mysticism, because both involve some of the deep and fundamental questions of our very existence.


We "know" things yet we don't always know how we know. All these experiences have a reality in the energy field. Our old world of solid concrete objects is surrounded by and permeated with a fluid world of radiating energy, constantly moving, constantly changing like the sea.

There is a "knowing" that what we are experiencing is real but we are equally bewildered that our social institutions have somehow missed explaining this experience altogether. We are reduced to having mere "faith" in what we know because there is no solid body of proof behind it. Yet by looking only through a lens of reason we limit our ability to look beyond what has been defined by it.

Intuitions, or gut feelings, are sudden, strong judgments whose origin we can't immediately explain. Although they seem to emerge from an obscure inner force, they actually begin with a perception of something outside--a facial expression, a tone of voice, a visual inconsistency so fleeting you're not even aware you noticed.

Think of them as rapid cognition or condensed reasoning that takes advantage of the brain's built-in shortcuts. Or think of intuition as an unconscious associative process.
The gut itself literally feeds gut feelings; think of butterflies in the stomach when a decision is pending. The gut has millions of nerve cells and, through them, a "mind of its own," Still, gut feelings do not originate there, but in signals from the brain.
Intuition can be described as 'almost immediate situation understanding' as opposed to 'immediate knowledge.' Understanding is filled with emotion. We don't obtain knowledge of love, danger, or joy; we feel them in a meaningful way."
* Encased in certainty, intuitions compel us to act in specific ways, and those who lack intuition are essentially cognitively paralyzed.

Listening to your intuition is the essence of art and creativity and soulful living.
* * *Intuition is what you use to find the purpose of your life and your place in the world.
>>> Masters tell us that through the practice of stilling the mind we allow ourselves to develop new sensitivities.

----> We're only limited by the concept of limitation we hold in our minds!!! We all have intuition. We are born with it. We use it as children we do not know any better. We go on our instinct or gut. But as we grow older and our rational and reasonable mind develops, we lose touch with our intuition. We ignore it, cast it aside forget about it. But like an out-of-shape muscle, intuition can be strengthened and exercised back into shape.

"... we are the gods that our ancestors told stories about. We fly from one part of the globe to another in a matter of hours; we instantly communicate over thousands of miles; we can commit mayhem in moments, move mountains in minutes, and every night we sit in front of our magic picture box and find out what all the other gods are up to.... We are magnified through space and time, our senses enlarged, our whims accelerated.... We are at a time in human history and planetary development when we are becoming aware of the stupendous unconscious knowledge and skillful orchestration that is going on in ourselves as well as in the outer cosmos all the time. We are at a crossing point in human history..."
"Everything around us (including our own bodies, which appear so substantial) is ultimately nothing but ephemeral networks of particle-waves whirling around at tremendous speeds, colliding, rebounding, disintegrating in almost total emptiness. What we call matter is mostly emptiness, proportionately as void as intergalactic space, void of anything except occasional dust spots and scattered electric charges. Any single one of the roughly 1027 atoms in the average human body has almost all its mass concentrated in a nucleus so small that if all the nuclei of all the atoms that make up the whole of humankind were packed together, their aggregate would be the size of a grain of rice." -from THE SEARCH FOR THE BELOVED by Jean Houston. p.20.
