In science the linear, logical, predictable and box-like world of Isaac Newton is now officially dead and consigned to the dust bin of history. In its place the new science is showing us a universe that is utterly wild, fantastic, chaotic and bizarre.

We humans have a number intelligences:

• the Newton-like analytical, logical and linear left brain

and the others which could be described as chaotic or non-linear:

• the feminine, creative, imaginative and spontaneous right brain,
• the visionary pineal gland,
• the heart intelligence (The heart actually has its own nervous system and even has left and right hemispheres.),
• and the intelligence of the large intestine. (The gut’s brain is known as the enteric nervous system. One half of all our nerve cells are located within the gut. Ever have a “gut” feeling about something?)

The logical left brain which we use so much to navigate around in our daily lives likes to dominate and suppress all the others. It feels unsafe when confronted with the infinite and non-predictable.

The truth is the awesome totality which we are born into is a world which the left brain cannot possibly comprehend.

Don Juan, the Yaqui Indian shaman in Carlos Castaneda’s books, said that in order to “see” you have to first stop the world. Stopping the world is when the flow of interpretation and preconceptions of the left brain is interrupted to allow for a new perception.

In the video the rattle will momentarily stop the flow of the left brain and allow you to just experience.

Enjoy.

I am grateful for your comments and feedback.

May there be peace in our hearts.

May there be peace for all humanity.

If you can put aside the thinking brain and just observe, a person’s face can reveal far more than you normally pick up.

And you don’t need a university degree to do it. We’ve known instinctively how to do this all our lives. It is hard wired into us. We are all expert face readers.

The key is to perceive with the receptive and uncritical eyes of a child.

There are many books available on face reading. Some get very technical and if you get caught up in the details you will lose sight of the essential simplicity of contemplating a face. That being said, it is often the small nuances in someone’s face which tell you the most.

There are some important principles to remember: The masculine left brain controls the right side of the body. The feminine right brain controls the left side of the body. So, your right side of your face indicates how you project in the world. Your left side shows who you really are.

Knowing this we can look at someone’s face with a new appreciation.

Jim Morrison

Below is a very well known photo of Jim Morrison, the charismatic lead singer of the legendary rock group The Doors. Breaking onto the music scene in 1967, The Doors had a meteoric rise to fame and then crashed in 1971 when Jim died at age 27 of a drug overdose.

Below I’ve edited Jim’s face by splitting it into right and left halves.

 Right Side Left Side

Next I’ve recreated Jim’s face using only the right side. Remember the right side (controlled by the left brain) is how Jim would project in the world.

Face Re-created Using 2 Right Sides

Notice the child-like innocence in the above photo. It’s the look of a boy who feels he has done something wrong, but there is also a quality of determination, resentment and petulance.

  Face Re-created Using 2 Left Sides

This is Jim’s left side controlled by the right brain. This is who he really was. The words that come to me are extreme rage, revenge and destructiveness.

Jimi Hendrix

Although he had a very short career Jimi Hendrix is widely considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time and one of the most important musicians of the 20th century. He was found dead, possibly of a sleeping pill overdose, also at the age of 27.

Right Sides Left Sides

His face is quite balanced and both sides are very similar. Especially on his left side we see the face of someone who has a very penetrating intelligence. This bohemian is a wise and keen observer. There is a note of sadness and the dark circles under his eyes indicate he is beginning to “run on empty”.

Joseph Stalin

Joseph Stalin was the de facto dictator of the Soviet Union for almost 30 years after Lenin’s death in 1924. During this period the Soviet Union emerged as a world superpower. Countless millions of political prisoners were sent to slave labour camps or were executed during Stalin’s purges. Bungled government policy caused a famine in 1932 in which an estimated 5-10 million people died. Almost 25 million Russians died during the devastation of World War II. It was a brutal time and he was a brutal leader.

Right Sides

Here we see someone who outwardly appears fatherly. He is watchful, exacting and severe, a “no nonsense” kind of a guy. Not necessarily compassionate.

Left Sides

His true nature? This man is devil. He is wiley, calculating, ruthless and cruel. Tolerance is not his forte.

Chief Sitting Bull

A Sioux holy man who led his people during its resistance to the US government, Sitting Bull is best known for being the head of a combined force of Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho during its decisive victory over General George Armstrong Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.

Before the battle Sitting Bull reportedly had a vision in which he saw the defeat of the 7th Cavalry under Custer. The photo below was taken in 1885, five years before his death. In his lifetime he had seen his people lose their lands, their freedom and their way of life.

Right Sides

Here we have the face of a chief who has responsibilities in the external world. Look at the deep sadness expressed in his eyes. It speaks volumes. Those eyes also have a quality of focused engagement and a struggling to understand. His life experience has been bitter.

Left Sides

 Who he was. Here is the face of the shaman, medicine man and visionary, one who travels to unknown worlds and dimensions.

The Mona Lisa

Here we have one of the most famous faces and one of the most mysterious smiles in history. The woman in the Mona Lisa has been positively identified as Lisa del Giocondo, a woman from an old aristocratic Florentine family. Her portrait was commissioned in 1503 by her husband, a moderately successful cloth and silk merchant, and was painted by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest painters of the Italian Renaissance.

Right side

How she interacts in the world. Look at her almost tearful eye. There is an ever-so-slight downward turn and pout, in her mouth, a sort of child-like and victimized sadness. This gal is not a happy camper.

Left Side

The most famous smile in history? Do you notice the slight upward curve in the corner of her mouth and see how plastic it is? It is a sly and confident smirk.  With her subtly calculating glance she could be saying, “I’ve got you wrapped around my little finger”.

I am grateful for your comments and feedback.

May there be peace in our hearts.

May there be peace for all humanity.

If you have children you may be familiar with the dreaded head louse. In this post I’ll show you how to get rid of them safely using essential oils and without dangerous chemicals or pesticides. I myself have been infested with them on two occasions and have lived to tell the tale. I used essential oils from Young Living.

There are two problems with most over the counter preparations to treat head lice. They are

• dangerous because they contain chemical pesticides, and
• the lice have developed resistance to them and so they flat out don’t work.

FIRST OF ALL

Anybody can get head lice. If you’ve got them just remember that they don’t like dirty hair. So if you’ve got them it’s because you have nice clean hair. Unlike body lice which can spread diseases such as typhus, head lice are not the vectors of any known disease.

However, they are very contagious and can spread easily. And it really ISN’T COOL to have blood sucking parasitic insects making their home in your hair!

SO WHAT ARE THESE CRITTERS ANYWAY?

Head lice are tiny wingless insects that spend their entire lives on the human scalp feeding only on human blood. They cannot hop like fleas or fly, but they do crawl quickly.

They are usually found close to the scalp, especially at the nape of the neck and around the ears, but may be found on the eyebrows or eyelashes.

• Head-to-head contact is by far the most common route of lice transmission.
• Their average life span is about a month.
• An adult female head louse lays approximately 100 – 150 eggs a month.
• The eggs are usually attached 1/2-inch from the scalp.
• Eggs hatch within 7-10 days of being laid.

TREATMENT OPTIONS:

Head lice are resistant to prescription and over-the-counter shampoos and lotions. That’s why there is an epidemic of them in our school system.

The National Pediculosis Association warns: “There are NO over-the-counter or prescription treatments to kill lice that are totally safe and scientifically proven to be 100% effective against head lice and nits. These treatments are potentially harmful pesticides and reliance on them promotes repeated use and contributes to ongoing infestations, outbreaks and resistant strains of head lice.”

They further warn against the use of chemicals, “designed to kill or destroy head lice in any individuals who have a pre-existing illness. This would include, but not be limited to, those with asthma, epilepsy, brain tumors, cancer or AIDS. Those on medication, OR who have been previously treated for head lice, as well as pregnant and nursing mothers may be more vulnerable to side effects and should AVOID chemical lice treatments for use on themselves OR applying them to others.”

OVER-THE-COUNTER PREPARATIONS MAY CONTAIN:

1. Pyrethrins, obtained from the chrysanthemum flower, sound like they all natural and have nothing but good vibes. These are safer than the chemical pesticides, yet they are known to cause respiratory problems, headache, nausea, incoordination, tremors, convulsions and skin reactions.

2. Permethrin and other pyrethroids are synthetic versions of pyrethrin and have a much greater potential for causing toxicity. Animal studies have shown they can suppress the immune system and be toxic to the liver.

3. Lindane, an organochlorine insecticide. Look for the name Gamma-Hexachlorocyclohexane or Benzene Hexachloride (BHC). These are neurotoxins and are structurally similar to banned DDT & chlordane.

4. Malathion, an organophosphate insecticide. You can find online reports saying it has very low toxicity and breaks down quickly. Don’t believe them. The truth is that one of its breakdown products is a chemical called malaoxon which is more toxic than the malathion itself. My advice is to avoid it totally.

5. Inert ingredients, and that does NOT mean it is non toxic. One, Piperonyl Butoxide, can pose a distinct health risk for pregnant women.

SO HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:

1. Remove all nits using a special fine tooth NIT COMB. Nits are most easily removed by combing while the hair is slightly damp. Adding conditioner or a 50:50 vinegar-water solution to the hair will make combing easier.

2. Use therapeutic grade essential oils. I use Young Living Essential Oils. Proper use of essential oils will kill not only the adults, but also the nits. Try one of the following formulas.

Formula 1. In 1 ounce of olive/almond oil add the following essential oils :

10 drops each of Eucalyptus, Geranium, Oregano and Thyme oils

Formula 2. In 1 ounce of olive/almond oil add :

• 10 drops – Eucalyptus
• 8 drops – Lavender
• 5 drops – Geranium

Formula 3. In 1 ounce of olive/almond oil add:

• 10 drops – Tea Tree (Melaleuca)
• 5 drops – Rosemary
• 5 drops – Lavender
• 5 drops – Lemon

Apply 1 teaspoon or more as needed of mixture to scalp and hair nearest scalp. Massage over entire head and into hair. Leave in for at least 30 mins. After that shampoo hair or just leave mixture on.

Repeat once a day for 10 – 14days. I used Formula 1 above only every second day.

3. All personal articles that have been in contact with the person’s head should be deloused. Normal laundering with hot, soapy water (125 degrees F for 10 minutes), or dry cleaning will kill lice and nits on clothing, bed linens and towels. Combs and brushes should be soaked for 10 minutes in a pan of very hot water. As an added precaution, car seats, furniture, and carpeting contacted by infested individuals should be vacuumed and the vacuum bag discarded.

4. Children should be instructed not to share hats, clothing or brushes with their classmates.

PRECAUTIONARY NOTE on using essential oils, especially with children or during pregnancy:

To avoid any possible adverse reaction to any essential oil, first test the mixture to be used by applying only a drop or two on the skin. If you are pregnant, please consult with a professional health care practitioner before using essential oils.

If you do the math the motion of the planets around the sun and the rotation of the sun itself can be transformed into an audible frequency.

You can do this easily by looking up the orbital period of the planet in days. In Earth’s case it is 365.24 days. Convert this to the total number of seconds. For Earth this value is 31,558,149, the number of seconds / cycle.

Next invert it to get the number of cycles / second (Hz). It will be a very small number. For Earth it is a very very low C# (actually a flat C#).

This value can then be transformed into a frequency that your ear can hear.

The video above is a meditative journey through our solar system.

Find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted. Wear headphones if possible. If you listen closely you may be able to notice that you strongly resonate with one or more of the sounds.

Enjoy and share your experience in the comment section.

Most people would say that the person below is meditating

 and that the individual below is not.

Actually we could say that both are in a state of meditation.

Modern quantum physics says that a fundamental property of the universe is the Wave – Particle Duality.

Light can behave like a particle of matter and we call it a photon. Light can also can behave purely as a non physical wave. Similarly molecules of matter can behave both as a wave or as a particle.

As human beings we too have this dual aspect. We have a physical body and yet we are also beings of light. It is all a very mysterious paradox.

Look at the Yin-Yang symbol of Taoism.

The circle represents unity, the whole. It is divided into two halves. One side is the male active principle and the other, the feminine reflective principle.

The Yin Yang can also be a representation of the path of meditation. The active yang part is the taking care of daily life, things like working, shopping and cooking. The reflective yin part is the sitting in stillness and the experience of pure consciousness; what we would normally call meditation.

Both aspects, the yang and the yin aspects of meditation are required. You act and experience being in the physical world, then in stillness you reflect on your action and learn from your behaviour.

This process goes on repeating and repeating. You act again, then reflect again on your actions and so on.

In this manner WISDOM is acquired.

We can see then that the so called “non sitting-in-meditation” part of the process, that active yang part of our daily life is crucial.

And thus what becomes essential to the process of meditation is your CAPACITY to behave as a compassionate human being in your daily life. What is vital is an ability

• to love & to be accepting
• to live with humility & gratitude
• to be non judgemental
• to be able to laugh at yourself
• to practice non attachment
• to allow others differing points of view
• to have patience

Some people are very damaged and this process of healing will take its own time and proceed in its own way.

Keep exploring. Keep learning. Keep meditating.

May there be peace in our hearts.

My personal feeling is that because of our education which focuses on left brain learning and societal influence we lose some of our natural ability to feel and I’ve talked about this in past.

In this video I describe a process I’ve gone through for the last twenty years during which I was able to enhance my sense of touch by doing two things:

• daily meditation
• a practical use of kinesiology self-testing

The type of meditation I used most is called Vipassana. It is a Buddhist teaching which means literally “insight into the true nature of reality” or “to see things as they really are”.

It is one of India’s most ancient techniques of meditation and was apparently taught by Gautama the Buddha more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy. Through mediation the ability to perceive is enhanced. The perpetual motion of the mind is stilled and in this state of rest an awakening happens. All it requires is patience.

The second part is something I often teach in my classes, the use of kinesiology self-testing. It is easier to experience this by just doing it, so watch the video above.

For just this moment I ask you to set aside the never-ending focus of the mainstream media on the truly painful events in the outside world. In this moment let us acknowledge and have gratitude for our personal victories. For they are momentous.

In order to appreciate and honour how much you have changed personally during the past year consider the following little exercise. It only takes 10 or 20 minutes and it may be as helpful for you as it has been for me. Get out a pen and sheet of paper.

Ask yourself if you have any regrets about something you have done or have felt in 2012? Have there been any:

• judgments
• anger
• resentments
• blames
• pains
• sorrows
• regrets
• worries
• grief
• or fears

that you would like to get off your chest? Write them down right now.

Acknowledge them and with gratitude let them go… Blessings, blessings and blessings!

If you like, toss that sheet of paper into the garbage can or even better, a fire. Make a ceremony of it and celebrate it like you’ve had a good dump! Good riddance.

Now, ask yourself, in this past year have you been grateful for:

• any person you’ve met
• or anything that has happened to you?

Write it down and continue.

What challenges have you had to face? And how have those challenges helped you?

Again write it down.

How have you improved in your:

• relationships
• business
• prosperity
• and personal life?

Have you been able to:

• exercise compassion more fully,
• express gratitude more often,
• or step outside of your comfort zone?

What accomplishments can you celebrate?

What dreams came true?

What new skills, insights or wisdom did you acquire?

How were you able to express love for yourself, for others and for life?

What personal strengths did you discover?

What served as a catalyst for your growth?

What can you forgive yourself for?

Thank you, thank you and thank you!

May there be peace in our hearts.

In the video below I am using a device, the Life Energy Meter, manufactured by Heliognosis, to measure the “life energy” or auric field of a carrot, a beet, an onion, a potato, an avocado and a rock. The design of the meter is based on the work of Dr Willhelm Reich.

This device can detect my energy from at least 5 – 6 feet away. I wanted to find out if it could measure any changes that might happen to the life energy of the veggies when I used touch. Here are the initial readings on got on my items:

1. carrot 10
2. beet 40
3. onion 72
4. potato 22
5. avocado 100
6. rock 0

If you muscle test someone who carries a personal electronic device such as a cell phone or mp3 player not only will their muscles go weak but strange things also happen to the joints. Certain ones will lose their flexibility and become stiff.

I’ve known about the muscle weakness for some time now but only recently discovered about what happens to the joints.

In this video I test my friend Gamal, who is a yoga teacher. What we find is that his left hip locks up. It is not shown in the video but this did not happen on his right side. Note that it is important to do this movement test on the joint at a precise angle.

Now, something else I discovered recently, if you download a copy of the Flower Of Life such as the ones below…

print a paper copy and then place it or wear it on your body, in some way the negative effect of the electronics disappears. I have no logical explanation for this. Maybe someone out there can fill me in on this. I believe it has something to do with the sacred geometry of The Flower Of Life.

In the case of cell phones I have not tested them yet while they are turned on. Another thing that seems to happen is that the person who wears the Flower Of Life does not seem to be adversely affected by the electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by house wiring. I am still working on this.

If you would like to know more about this effect go to my previous post on this How To Neutralize The Negative Effects Of Electronics Using The Flower Of Life.

May there be peace in our hearts.
