A Few Thoughts About Thinking

I recently finished reading “Anathem” by Neal Stephenson, for the second time, (not something I usually do) and I was struck by an offhand observation that the young main character makes about another man who may be hundreds of years old. At one point, the old man is chanting and holds the same note for hours, (clearly some kind of re-breathing technique), and the young man ponders what it’s like to have such a different notion of time that you would want to chant the same note for hours. Then he has the insight that a mind that has done that probably has very different thoughts from a mind that hasn’t.

Understanding Chart Movement by Bill Herbst

Professional astrologer, Bill Herbst writes a great introduction to understanding the complexities of astrology. “When people begin to study astrology, their first efforts usually revolve around memorizing the meanings of the various symbolic elements – planets, signs, houses, and aspects. That’s fine so far as it goes, but learning all the separate pieces doesn’t prepare students to understand what a chart is and how it moves.”

For Patients Only: Bioenergy Self-care for a Serious Eye Disease

| by Michael Mannion

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the retina and leads to a progressive loss of vision. In the United States, some form of AMD affects an estimated 20 million people.

There is no effective treatment for this condition today. A little-known form of self-care has shown, in one patient so far, that it has the potential to contribute significantly to eye health in people with intermediate dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This self-care approach is easy for patients to self-administer; has no harmful side effects; and is remarkably inexpensive.
