Good medicine! Dennis Chambers, John Blackwell, Inosanto, Bustillio OBVIOUSLY stole from this cat here! This cat will eat your lunch and you as well, better to train with someone with less juice. Stellar my brother, Roberto

The bird in flight that leaves no path behind. ...and yet it never loses the way. Serious soul food! Peace, Roberto

Alright! I did a seasalt cleansing last night under fullmoon light. My wife and I just walked in from a crisp eve under the moon out on the deck where the newly named sphere is current-ly charging (pun-no pun) . Thanks for the serious photo (you can say badazz here right?) Hemi-spherically speaking, Rob

Welcome Looking forward to some wisdom Peace, Rob,

Well its on the way, we shall soon find out. Thanks for the tip! Future fluidity, Rob

Gui Pi Wan is known to promote internal organ blood circulation, but there has to be enough blood volume under pressure (hemodynamics) I've heard that the energy goes where the mind goes. I have also read many places that the energy can be lead to the bones and stored in the marrow. Flat bones usually produce white cells (immunity) where the long bones produce Red cells (Hemoglobin, erythrocytes, platelets etc..). I have observed over the years those with a vigorous cardiovascular regimen have Qi for days, taut healthy skin, crystal clear eyes, relatively low body fat, mojo, (+) attitude. (attributes I always desire) "The less you do, the less you'll be able to do. Work hard and pay now so you won't have to pay in old age. " (I can validate this 40+ hours a week) B.K. Frantzis believes mantra will lower blood pressure... a good way to reduce chances of stroke and heart attack. Just passing along stuff that floated to the top here. I must advise a consult with a professional TCM practitioner! It is amazing what you can learn (about yourself). My tongue and eyes & pulses have been studied by three seperate practitioners in three different states. I would recommend a blood work up as well. Some cultures refuse blood work or transfusions and do fine based on their belief system. Positive energy, Rob

Right! Remember Shams. I thought this is fun... A detailed Summary of Ali "I am the greatest!!! I'm young; I'm handsome; I'm fast. I can't possibly be beat. They all must fall in the round I call. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way I'll ever get licked. The heavyweight champion of the world should be pretty like me. It ain't bragging if you can back it up. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. I'm so mean, I make medicine sick. I shook up the world. Me! Whee!!!." * "These words come from the mouth of Muhammad Ali. If you ever hear a man speak of himself in such a way, it makes you wonder. It makes you wonder if he has the right to speak the way he does. It makes you wonder if people accept him without any hostility. It makes you wonder what is so special about this person. If anybody, Muhammad Ali is the man that has the right to speak the way he does. In the boxing ring, he was feared and respected for his accomplishments. However, Muhammad Ali was known for his ego. It was an ego that people both loved and hated but also an ego which ended his career twice. Even with this ego of his, Ali always had a way of pulling in people with his sarcastic humor and charm. He was simply a man that had to be loved and respected by everybody. Ali loved life and everything about it." *=Shortest poem! Thought I'd borrow this as food for thought, just a thought. WWTD (What would Tyson do?) Yea Right!??? How could you ever measure that?

The mitochondria is believed to have evolved somehow from a symbiotic relationship with the cell. A give and take thing I guess. So if it were not for this "friendly bacteria" this thought would not! (after thought) how will the superstrains of MRSA VRE stand up to the new developments in biotechnology? Eternally learning, Robert

Something like this... Borrowed from Micheal Starbird Zeno and his various paradoxes of motion. To recap the paradox of an arrow flying through the air: if that motion is divided into infinitely smaller and smaller increments of time and distance, in what sense can we say the arrow is "moving" at all? How can a single instant have an actual "speed"? Philosophers can be so tedious sometimes. For all practical purposes, calculus resolves that paradox, and thanks to Michael Starbird's spiffy DVD calculus course, I now have a reasonable grasp of how it does this. (Yay me!) On the whole, Starbird keeps things reasonably simple. He began with the most basic example. Since the derivative is a measure of change -- how temperature changes, how the Dow Jones average changes, etc. -- the most basic example is motion: change in position with respect to time. So Starbird envisions Zeno driving a car (Jen-Luc points out it should really be a chariot, but we'll grant Starbird some artistic license) along a straight road at a steady unchanging speed, and in the process, running a stop sign. As luck would have it, Officers Newton and Leibniz are on duty and pull Zeno over. Zeno denies he ran the stop sign. As proof, he presents the officers with a time-stamped still photo taken of the car just before its nose passed the stop sign. How can they prove the car was moving at that point, and not stopped? As luck would have it, Officers Newton and Leibniz are on duty and pull Zeno over. Zeno denies he ran the stop sign. As proof, he presents the officers with a time-stamped still photo taken of the car just before its nose passed the stop sign. How can they prove the car was moving at that point, and not stopped? Too bad he got caught by Newton and Leibniz, the co-inventors of calculus. Here's where the details start to overwhelm the story arc a little, but they are admittedly necessary. That straight road is divided into intervals at every possible distance, even infinitesimally small ones, and at each point there is a traffic camera that takes a time-stamped still photo of the car as its nose passes that point on the road. This makes it a pretty magical road, but we're good at suspending our disbelief in order to achieve a greater truth. Officers Newton and Leibniz can pull out their own photographic evidence: an infinite number of still shots taken at smaller and smaller intervals along that amazing road. So they can show where Zeno was at the two-minute time, subtract where Zeno was at the one-minute time, and from that determine how far the car traveled: one mile. Divide that by the time it took to travel that distance, and you get the car's average speed: one mile per minute. It might be possible for Zeno to argue with that one counter-example, but not with an infinite accumulation of evidence. Newton and Leibniz offer similar evidence for ever-smaller intervals (eg, at the 1.1 mark, the 1.01, mark, ad infinitum), performing the same exact calculations each time, and the answer is always the same: 1 mile per minute. Ergo, Zeno's car did have a speed at that instant, and that speed was 1 mile per minute. According to Starbird, the evidence doesn't lie in looking at what the car was doing at that very instant, because Zeno was correct when he said that an object can only be in one place at a single moment. Rather, it lies in the accumulation of evidence taken from every possible increment of time (before and after) the critical mark in question. Ingenious! Also incredibly tedious. Our hats are off to Newton, Leibniz, and untold mathematicians before and after them who repeated the same exact process of calculation, over and over again, until they'd compiled sufficient "proof" that the derivative formula works. It takes a Special Kind of Person to do that. We are not that special. At least I'm not a smartass like this self-proclaimed mathematical genius. (Jen-Luc Piquant, on the other hand....)

So...Cindy and I picked one out today! 40-50 mm I guess about a kilo of "rutilated quartz" or "sagenite", popularly known as Venus-hair stone. Drove up to Antioch to Sacred Earth on a day trip. The owner said this type helps w/ physical healing whereas the amythist is more for spiritual meditation type practice. Peace, Roberto Not actual size or photo but a close approximation anyway

I couldn't sleep at all! http://www.nytimes.c...ia/23crash.html Please send love to Earth, sky, families, passengers Peace, Rob

THIS Earth II

Well finally a day off! I can begin to read "The book of not knowing" Twenty six chapters 581 pages (of not knowing) A good workout for the flexors and extensors as it weighs nearly a kilo! Decent outline format ( bookmarks will be needed ) As always looking forward to insight Have a great weekend everybody, see ya at the dunes Robert

This is an uptempo version of this Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop Always amazing

Good one!

please do not discard what has become preciousness in your bag of tricks

Factorially! Those who have seen my posts know I'm no stranger to pain. I've had to jump ship on a lot of friends & family due to nasty habits This too shall pass Take what you like and leave the rest saw this on a post yesterday and it took me back to some earlier roots (Bill & Bob) Peace, Robert

Just blows me away when two paths converge. What peter is sayin' here speaks the same as Funkadelic's Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts (To me) seen? Travel like a king Listen to the inner voice A higher wisdom is at work for you Conqering the stumbling blocks come easier When the conqueror is in tune with the infinite Every ending is a new beginning Life is an endless unfoldment Change your mind, and you change your relation to time You can find the answer The solution lies within the problem The answer is in every question Dig it? An attitude is all you need to rise and walk away Inspire yourself Your life is yours It fits you like your skin The oak sleeps in the acorn The giant sequoia tree sleeps in its tiny seed The bird waits in the egg God waits for his unfoldment in man Fly on, children Play on You gravitate to that which you secretly love most You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts There is no chance, coincidence or accident In a world ruled by law and divine order You rise as high as your dominant aspiration You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self Free your mind and your ass will follow The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers Its nature is to respond to your thoughts Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind For seeds grow after their kind Play on, children Every thought felt as true Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind Take roots in your subconscious Blossoms sooner or later into an act And bears its own fruit Good thoughts bring forth good fruit Bullshit thoughts rot your meat Think right, and you can fly The kingdom of heaven is within Free your mind, and your ass will follow Play on, children Sing on, lady Yeah
