Brain Waves Goodbye
When you are relaxed, your brain produces “Alpha” brain waves — electrical signals that pulse at roughly 8-12 cycles per second. When you’re more alert, your brain spits out Beta waves (13-40 cycles per second)… Dreaming? Theta at 4-7. Deep, dreamless sleep – 1-4 cycles. Okay, now follow the math on this one: If I…

You don’t deserve your rights
I’m trying an experiment on this post. I’ll suggest a concept, and you tell me what you think about it. Here we go: You do NOT deserve… anything And, you do not have ANY rights Needless to say, I think those two statements are true. Tell me what you think (and why) and, if necessary,…

Physics Schmysics!

Develop a New Habit? Give me 21 days, and I’ll give you… three weeks
Even though I stopped buying self-help and spiritual books a long time ago, there seems to be no escape. Even non-spiritual and non-self-help books can’t seem to avoid repeating New Age nonsense. This morning I was reading a book about stretching for athletes. Pretty not-New Age-y, don’t you think? But, over and over, time and…

What me spiritual?
A recent survey revealed that a LARGE percentage of Americans don’t think of themselves as religious, but do identify themselves as “spiritual.” When I heard this, my first question was, “What’s the diff?” Okay, if you’re spiritual you don’t go to a mainstream church or synagogue or mosque… though, ironically, you may spend as much…
