Rating "the control of artificial limbs by thought alone"

This is incredible. I found myself wanting to know more about this subject. I think it is a great idea and can be utilized by so many individual that have become limited in their movements. The process makes me shiver a bit. The thought of attaching electrodes to the surface of the brain is creepy to say the least, but when it helps your loved one have a better quality of life, creepy is easily dealt with.
It is truly amazing what we are capable of doing. Not only the technology that has been developed to make such things possible, but as well the capabilities our minds have to interact with such developments.

Bionic Person

It is difficult for me to support stuff like this. My question is, Why? Why do we need a bionic person? It seems to me that we keep testing our limits in ways that can come back to bite us incredibly hard. Creating a bionic person in an interesting idea. I can see why someone would want to attempt this feat. However, for what purpose? Is it simply to say that we can, or are we going to give it as much of a mind as possible? Will we have these bionic beings serving us at the local fast food chain one day, or will they become developed and intelligent enough to take on larger duties. It reminds me too much of a Sci-Fi thriller where one of these things is created and then it takes over the world with all of its clones. I know that sounds rediculous but with the capabilities we have these days, I don't see it as impossible.
So thats it. Whether I would support such an experiment depends on what the purpose is.

Make-up work :)

I know I am a living system because...

I breath, bleed, feel, think, move and walk, talk, reason, defecate, urinate, eat, drink, sleep and wake-up, hear and respond. I heal when I am hurt. I can see this action happening when I cut myself and the process begins. I have DNA. I am made up of all the necessary proteins to enable me to be a living creature.


Biophysics and me...

Biophysics is all around us and we are interacting with it on a continual basis. Whether it be in the products we use, the cars we drive, the facilities we work in or the food we eat, it's quality's are there. Biophysics encompasses everything that we experience in one way or another. Simply waking up and walking out our doors into the fresh air is all we need do to experience biophysics.

Human intent as it affects health

This is incredible stuff!! It is why I am here and it is why acupuncture and all healing modalities work. Whether you are healing yourself or others, your intent as well as the persons who is being healed is absolutely necessary for best results.
I am currently a massage therapist. My understanding and belief of intent become stronger with every session. I believe there are times when my intent is all that worked in a massage. I have had some severely injured people on my table, both emotionally and physically. When they get off my table they are different, better. I wonder to myself how that could be considering how tight or blocked they were. But during our entire session my heart and soul were present. When my clients are on my table my love is focused on them. It is as if they were one of my dearest family members and all I want is for them to feel better. I think about what they will be like when they get off my table. I vision their smiles and their looks of ease and comfort. I hear there gratitude for the relaxation within their bodies before they voice it. When I am together in my office with someone I am about to work on, it is all about them and what we can do together to heal them.
Intent is a catalyst. When one learns to use it, I believe there is nothing that person can't do.

Kirlian photography

I am still in awe that something so mysterious can be photographed. I have to say that when I first heard of Kirlian photography I was a total skeptic. I was 18 and my Eastern Religions teacher brought her photographs in. I thought, There's no way. This is a trick!". But the photograph captivated me in some way and I jumped on the computer that night. After reading about it a little more I found it not only to be possible but perhaps necessary in some peoples lives. I read amazing testimonials that involved spotting cancers, pneumonia, emotional and mental blocks, angels and spirit guides. The colors I saw around people were never the same. Even in several pictures of one person there were always differences, some slight and some significant.
Although I am not quite sure how it works yet, I have a great appreciation for it. I am excited for the experience to have my aura photographed. Honestly I am still wondering why it is I haven't had this done yet. I am sure this experience will be the first of many.

Acupuncture as an effective energy medicine

There is no question in my mind that acupuncture is an effective energy medicine. I feel the energy and the effectiveness every time I experience acupuncture. There have been times where acupuncture didn't necessarily help out my situation but at the very least eased my mind and body for the rest of the day. When the needles go in, I can feel them activate and then begin to work with each other. From what my body has experienced in its lifetime this is a clear indication of energy being utilized in its finest fashion.

Where is a time machine when you need one? I wonder what life would be like if we could go back in time and approach Descartes before he made some silly suggestion like "mind and body are separate from each other"? Maybe we could send him down a conveyor belt having him receive a different modality of healing at every stop and at the end he could have a session with Freud or Erikson.
