I thought it was possible to clone humans already. I don't think that cloning humans or making the average age of death exceed 100 are breakthroughs. I do think that curing cancer might be one, but on the other hand, what will replace it as a means of death? I think a real breakthrough would be for humans to learn to accept death as part of life, and to learn to let go gracefully. Whether that happens through a waking up to our true identities (wow that would be great!), or just through an acknowledgement that if we want children, we need to get out of the way for them - either way, death needs to come out of the closet just as birth did a generation or so ago. (at least it stuck its foot out of the closet - I'm wondering if society is trying to slam the door closed again...) So, I'm crazy, but I think buying Mark a boat would be more helpful than some of the choices. >oh maybe she >didn't intend to be deceitful. how dull. Yeah, my IQ is too low to allow me to be deceitful. What a copout!!!! hey, I can train you if you want... come to the dark side... (can you hear me breathing like Darth Vader? When is technology gonna catch up to my twisted sense of humor?) >Love, Mark >ps hi mumble cat. how are you? I'm well. Still no winter depression in sight and yet, the winter sleepiness is all here. I'm glad. I understand that bright lights (especially lots of those plant grow lights that come reasonably close to mimicking the sun's spectrum) can help dispell SAD. I think it's true. Alternatively, visiting Jan might help. I hear he has a new recipe involving chocolate and mice (or was it moles? no, that's Mexican food.. maybe it was mousse, no I'm pretty sure it's mice. one of those m words.. men? hmmmm..... It's too hot in that kitchen for me. And I'm looking at a post mortem examination on Friday. The only fringe benefit of working at Dept. of Pathol. Me ghoul. You food. How are you ? Well, I was fine until you suggested that I'm food (maybe it's too hot in your kitchen too). Now I'm a quivering mass of fear and loathing. (although even that's kinda fun once you let go and decide to enjoy it...) Are you saving up for a boat ? No, I've never learned how to save money. Instead, I've been begging most vociferously, annoying the neighbors, etc for one. (mainly on NDS.) I'm not sure how it all got started. I think Mary is to blame, but then I think that of most things... oops, gotta go duck. (no, actually she has accepted responsibility for all earthly disasters and evils. I think it makes her feel powerful. no, not even that's true. She's an enlightened being and I'm a craven coward. yeah, that's it... that's right...) that's the ticket... Love, Mark ps how am I? I'm manic, can you tell? A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that bright lights (especially lots of those >plant grow lights that come reasonably close to mimicking the sun's >spectrum) can help dispell SAD. Yep. SAD is much more common than is appreciated (although I myself don't have a full-blown version of it, I can find myself getting squirrely if the days are real short and/or it is consistently cloudy out). There is at least one company that makes lights specifically to combat this problem. If anyone is interested, I have a brochure at my office and would be glad to get the info for you.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2000 Report Share Posted December 6, 2000 Hey Gloria, I had forgotten where I knew the name Byron Katie from, but checking out the site reminded me. One of the fellows who is doing the Grof Transpersonal Training has also trained (he's completed the training) for The Work. He raved about it in August. He was very excited to be not only doing the work but facilitating it. It looks pretty useful. What do you think?
