MattC Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Anybody ever wonder if the whole of the universe is a creation of our minds (or, well, my mind?)

John Sayers Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Its been said that we become what we think about. Baroness Professor Susan Greenfield There's a really interesting study looking a brain scans of people who unlike these girls have never played a musical instrument before. Narration If the experiment was done on these girls they'd be divided into three groups. The first would be shown an instrument but not taught to play - they're the control group. The second group would be taught simple 5 finger exercises and told to practise them daily. The third group would be taught the five finger exercises but simply told to imagine practising. In the original study, after 5 days their brains were scanned to see if there'd been any change. The control group showed no change in their brain connections. Baroness Professor Susan Greenfield However the group that were shown the five finger piano exercises// over five days their brains show a different pattern. The area of the brain that relates to the fingers gets bigger. Narration So by practising they could physically change their brain connections, making them bigger and better. Baroness Professor Susan Greenfield But more remarkable than that the group that just had to imagine they were doing it also show a similar change in their brain scans. Narration So in theory this means we all have the power to improve brain connections just by thinking about it.

Yes, Jung's concept of the collective unconscious comes to mind . Also, take a look at this website . It is by Rupert Sheldrake and someone who's morphic field theories I have been following for many years now. You can even do online experiments to help build a database to add to the evidence of (online) telepathy. Interesting stuff. Cheers, steelandre.

Putting out our hands, reaching for something that we know we need but can't quite define. Wantin' that something so bad that we reach out into the blind darkness and many times only to pull back a mangled stump and horrified at our own stupidity and then inexplicably reach out with the othre hande to pull back a wizened nub all too often. So Many of us sit in our dark, scared to reach out, knowing that to NOTREACH keeps us safe and shielded from the hurt. Yes, chillun's and parents; reachin'out often involves pain and sorrow and so many of us are in the cold bleak darkness which sucks the life from us slowly. So slowly we wake up olde and used up and wonder how we got there. So we blindly and stupidly reach and grope or not and hope that someone grabs on and pulls us to a higher place, a better place, a place of light and love and seconde chances, or not. and maybe this time We don't pull back a mangled paw. maybe.

Tedly Nightshade Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Glad to hear it Trancedelic! And Arell, that's poetry you got there. And it's so. I will note that light is a whole lot more welcome in the dark- the sunrise from the bottom of the sea, and all that. Light in Darkness, great title of great Evelyn Glennie album that changed my life. I can't get into this whole "white light" thing you hear about- mystery, rainbows, purples, and, well, night shades!

YourMotherShouldKnow Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I keep hearing people say "blog"...what's a "blog"? Trans, if you feel like you're reaching into the dark either you have a physiological problem (doubtful) or a metaphysical problem. By metaphysical I mean where a person isn't confident about how nature works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a weblog? Where did I say sitting on my ass in front of a comp screen beats hanging out with my neighbors? The answer is: it depends. It depends on what you want out of life. The SSS for me is a place to build my knowledge base about recording and marketing music. What is it for you? As for my neighbor's porch it would depend on the neighbor. If it's Jeffrey Dahmer I'd rather chill here. If it's on of my best friends than yeah I'd want to spend a lot of time there. I guess my original answer sounded high and mighty. Wasn't my intention.

Duddits Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 100s of billions of galaxies racing away from each other in ever expanding space, each one 100s of thousands of light years accross, each filled with 100s of billions of stars. In each galaxy, aggregates of heavy elements belched into space by exploded, dead stars congregate to form planets (thank god for gravity) with macromolecules occassionally developing over billions of years that, for the tinniest blink of time, burst into biology that first creates and then consumes an atmosphere. For what amounts to a fraction of a second in the cosmic calender, beings live and die, only to return their compounds back into the earth, recycled into new life, only to return their elements back into space, recycled into new stars and planets with the explosion of their own star, until the energy of their very atoms runs out and starless blackness pervades. Oh yeah, and somewhere in the middle, you have a few friends, a few kids, a few laughs, watch a little T.V., argue macs vs. pcs, run a marathon, contract an illness, love and hate the same person, sing "Happy Birthday," shop for a new toaster, give someone a sweater, eat noodle pudding.

What is it for you? For me, a lot of time it's a kind of social anesthetic- if I'm in enough pain, it takes my mind off it and the pain stops while I'm on these forums. It's quite remarkable- maybe if I have a minor surgery I'll take the laptop along and log on. The front porch is a great place. Only folks I see from mine are foxes and deer, but I have a friend in town on the main drag where we can sit on his steps and drink in full view of the whole town and peoplewatch to the heart's content, discuss lofty things and drag innocent passersby into unusual discourses. Nothing like it. Also, nothing like a good long sweet hug. A WOP BOP A LU BOP, A LOP BAM BOOM! "There is nothing I regret so much as my good behavior.
