The Holographic Heart

this article is sooo very insightful. explains in part why i resonate with the image of hearts and goes wayyy beyond what i've been knowing on an intuitive level for a while now
(click on title to link to article ok)
 "I can't in a brief time share with you the full implications of neurocardiology except to say three things. First, about sixty to sixty-five percent of all the cells in the heart are neural cells which are precisely the same as in the brain, functioning in precisely the same way, monitoring and maintaining control of the entire mind/brain/body physical process as well as direct unmediated connections between the heart and the emotional, cognitive structures of the brain. Secondly, the heart is the major endocrine glandular structure of the body, which Roget found to be producing the hormones that profoundly affect the operations of body, brain, and mind. Thirdly, the heart produces two and a half watts of electrical energy at each pulsation, creating an electromagnetic field identical to the electromagnetic field around the earth. The electromagnetic field of the heart surrounds the body from a distance of twelve to twenty-five feet outward and encompasses power waves such as radio and light waves which comprise the principle source of information upon which the body and brain build our neural conception and perception of the world itself. This verifies all sorts of research from people such as Karl Pribram [+, ++] over a thirty year period, and opens up the greatest mystery we'll ever face.
  Roger Penrose, for instance, in England, has just recently come out with a new mathematics to prove that where dendrites meet at the synapse -- of which you've got trillions in your body and brain -- is an electromagnetic aura. And, we find that the electromagnetic field of the heart produces, holographically, the same field as the one produced by the earth and solar system. Now, physicists are beginning to look at the electro-magnetic auras as, simply, the organization of energy in the universe. All these are operating holographically -- that is, at the smallest, unbelievably tiny level between the dendrites at the synapse, the body, the earth, and on outward. All are operating holographically and selectively."

and the lovely parents

eeeee what a cute family!!!

more beau

Dance Penalty Poker

I've invented a new twist on the old classic thats sure to be a hit. be the first to play! perfect for campfires. basically its just like poker except the loser has to dance for everyone to a song of the groups choosing--and then the group sings the song while the loser dances. my mom lost 5 times in a row and we sung everything from Ba Ba Black Sheep (she did a really nice interpretive dance to that one) to Light My Fire by the doors and my fav- La Cucaracha. my dad finally lost and we sang Zippity Do Da..he did a real nice dance to that one. too bad i didnt get any shots that reallly capture the brilliance, but you get the idea....
