Tuba as metaphor
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)! [...]

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” [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Are We Music?
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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 NOT a [...]

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 experiments. We now believe [...]

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), Dean Radin [...]
