Oh darn I knew you were going to ask me that They as in all Indian cultures in the U.S. and Canada. You'll have to google where it's held. I want to say Arizona but it might but Utah also... PBS did a special on them and I was amazed at how each little movement means something in the dances. Once you learn it, it's really quit beautiful. There is so much that most Americans don't know about in the world and life in general. If it's not on TV or a video game then they are clueless

Likely... it's been awhile since I've read it... I'm afraid I cannot currently substantiate my claim that the concept of "the zone" existed long before the diet..

That site says much about the diet and/or the commercialization of the diet. But the concept of being "in the zone" is independent of and predated the naming of the diet. It's one of many phrases wherein the public has forgotten it's meaning due to missuse and/or commercialization.

Well, "the four leaves" gives me a lot of hits in google but none of them a resource on native american culture. Time for me to sleep. Let me know if you find a link/reference.

OK thanks, I'll look at those later. Right now I'm helping someone hook up a parametric EQ for their Mac Geez... they don't even have a pre-amp

The signal was just magically going to jump into the amp

Yes. While it sounds so pragmatic, so American, so non-poetic, ie so negative to many, catching and weaning onself away from this -what I call- distressful thinking, immature/childish/primitive/emotional thinking- is enormously freeing and uplifting. Alot of our stress is self-induced, and one can lighten that load. I was trained analytically, with some cognitive-behavioral additions, so I'm open to things that work-that improve one's mental functioning.Many of these therapeutic explorations are releasing. People choose the orientations that are most simpatico with themselves. The therapy research lumps it into the term "empathic". There's alot of sloppy thinking in my field, including in the research Some of that is due to the complexity of the subject matter.
Reductionism in psychology is often a problem,not an answer. Pavlov had some "truths", Freud found others, developmentalists have added much knowledge. To hope for a "Unified Field" Theory of Psychology is wanting to wrap up all the complexities way too early. Psychology is a branch off of philosophy and shows those roots. Cognitive/behavioral approaches add some clarity. Each of the areas uses its own terms, axioms, etc. Sooo, the best unification (1000 years too soon to try that) is 42. Anything goes.

Hello everyone

I spent a good part of last evening, reading posts and meditating

I came up with this to render TechBot useless: Beverly Crusher to the rescue!


Alas, she was not available in person...darn her TV/Movie stardom, so she sent her Lego stand-in...

Pretty useless, if you ask me....so...

I summoned Sumo Dude for the mission...


but....he was in class doing a report...sigh

So now, we just need same bait (Flies, Chicken and Fishsticks are excellent choices) to lure the Bot into this crusher:


...and back I go to my meditation...

Have a (Zen) -ful Day everyone.....ommmmmmmmm
