Sound and Visual Perception

Posted on September 29, 2007.

Do we hear with our eyes?  At least partly?  This 10-second video comes to us from the University of Oslo sound lab.  No matter how many times I replayed it, it sounded different to me with my eyes closed than with them open.  Something to contemplate over the weekend.  For more on the McGurk effect, see [...]

Sept. 27 is Blogging for Hope day

Posted on September 27, 2007.

While many bloggers are using today to speak out to end violence, and I applaud their efforts, I prefer to use a quote I first mentioned in my Spirituality in a Nutshell post:
“It would be wonderful indeed if a group of persons should arrive on earth who were for something and against nothing.” -E. Holmes

I [...]

Only Positive Music

Posted on September 27, 2007.

A lot of us like to listen to online radio. Here is a station devoted to uplifting music with a positive message. There are a few different styles represented: rock, country, jazz, and rap are all there, but most seem to be upbeat or soft pop. I want to stress that this is not religious [...]

Energy Therapy Video containing research!

Posted on September 26, 2007.

I’m very pragmatic in how I approach my everyday life. I wouldn’t use something as odd and unconventional as EFT if it wasn’t useful. This 8-minute video is a short introduction to the method and contains some results on “blood clumping” before and after treatment is applied.

I don’t crave that!

Posted on September 23, 2007.

I co-facilitated an energy therapy workshop this weekend, and I’m once again blown away by some of the things this EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques—see “Health or EFT” topic) can accomplish. I know I sound like a “true believer” here, but, just take a look at one happened with one participant:
This person presented a compelling, [...]

I promise not to create your Reality for You

Posted on September 21, 2007.

Once again, a reader has left a comment, and asked a question which caused me to think, and really evaluate my position. I feel so fortunate to have such thoughtful–and thought provoking–readers who really want to engage with the ideas we’re exploring. By the time I had answered RubyShooZ’s question, I had enough for a [...]

I don’t know and I don’t care.

Posted on September 20, 2007.

I saw this joke somewhere on WordPress recently:
“There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don’t.”
And this one:
“A professor responds to an incorrect answer from a student: ‘Are you ignorant, or are you just apathetic?’ The student replies ‘I don’t know and I don’t care.’”
I have to [...]

Lessons I will learn, someday…How ’bout today, please?

Posted on September 18, 2007.

Lesson #1 - Do not wait ’til the day you are to deliver a report to edit and print that report. I did that today, and I sure was sorry. When things get busy, sometimes they get put on the back burner–but, they can catch fire back there, since I’m not watching. Which brings me [...]

Over and Over again

Posted on September 15, 2007.

I think it’s a good thing that words of wisdom from my favorite spiritual teachers roll around in my head. It can get a little irritating at times, as when I can’t get “that song” out of my head, but these are phrases and advice I’ve chosen to think are important and useful. [...]

Autumn Holidays and Quiet Contemplation

Posted on September 13, 2007.

It is a week of holidays and remembrances.  On Tuesday, the world observed what is referred to in the US as “Patriot Day”, which I’d rather call “Remembrance Day”.  And continuing this week are the the holy days of Ramadan and Rosh Hashanah–both times of contemplation and renewal.  I’m about to attend one of several [...]
