Tuba as metaphor

Posted on August 31, 2007.

When I was about 8 years old, my parents bought me a recording called “Tubby the Tuba”, with music by George Kleinsinger, written in 1945.  Apparently, “Tubby” was a familiar story, although new to me.  My mother told me she had played Tuba in her high school band.  (All the other instruments had been taken)!  [...]

Relativism all over again

Posted on August 30, 2007.

This post decided to write itself after a friend’s inquiry and a few other posts caused me to ponder yet again the topic of Relativity. The friend said he’d heard that I consider myself a Relativist, and would I explain, please?
I generally don’t favor labeling myself, particularly with words ending in “ist”, “ian”, “at” or [...]

Is it just Me…Out of my Body?

Posted on August 28, 2007.

One of the hottest Internet topics over the weekend was the “discovery” by “scientists” that “out-of-body experiences” can be “induced”.  You will see by my overuse of “quotation marks” that I have some “opinions” about “this”.  (OK, I’ll stop with the quotes).
The most balanced article (in my view) on this was by Scientific American.  I [...]

If you like “I Can Has Cheezburger”(TM)…

Posted on August 24, 2007.

You might like this book.  Called Cat Getting out of a Bag and Other Observations, it has very little content other than pen and ink drawings of a cat’s life as observed by her human.  Misty, like many cats, sometimes exhibits “Mistyfying” behavior.
This link is to Powell’s.  Also available at Amazon and many other places.  [...]

Are We Music?

Posted on August 22, 2007.

With all the discussion going on about Quanta, in science, or Energy, in transformative therapy, or Vibration, in music, I found myself delving into an extensive paper that extends String Theory (physics) to Chord Theory (us; you and me, as dimensional vibratory constructs).  The paper is a long read.  Let me just make a few comments [...]

Staying Positive in a Strange Universe

Posted on August 18, 2007.

I choose to believe that our universe(s) is/are supportive of our conscious growth.  Since I can choose my beliefs, why wouldn’t I want to choose that?
A bunch of bloggers have already posted the following, but I couldn’t resist adding my two (relative) cents:  Scientists have observed phenomena that moved faster than the speed of light!  [...]

Music in Computer Games

Posted on August 17, 2007.

I was thinking back on why I liked particular games (lists of my favorites are posted in previous entries in my “Games” topic) and a very strong and nearly essential component for me is the Music.  The Zork games all have great music, particularly Return to Zork;  and Syberia I & II do, as well.  [...]

Crickets Sing….As If

Posted on August 14, 2007.

As if…I wasn’t already awestruck by the connectedness of all things, I was introduced to cricket song in human time: “…the sound of…crickets [has been] slowed down to match and mirror the length of the average lifespan of a human being. The angelic chorus you hear accompanying the sound of the crickets is [...]

We moved time, literally.–I’m not kidding!

Posted on August 13, 2007.

Just returned from the Noetic Sciences conference. (Noetics is a branch of philosophy concerned with the study of intellect and thought). Had a fabulous mind-bending/expanding time. Topics discussed will fuel this blog for some time. I didn’t know we attendees would get to participate in one of Dr. Dean Radin’s notorious [...]

Noetics are Calling

Posted on August 9, 2007.

I’m off for 5 days to the bi-annual Institute Of Noetic Sciences conference. IONS is an organization that applies cutting edge scientific research to consciousness! I get to bask in the latest findings of Lynne McTaggart (The Intention Experiment, The Field), astronaut/founder Edgar Mitchell (The View from Space, The Way of the Explorer), [...]
