Colleges Can Kill Creativity by Offering One-Size-Fits-All Education
“While I HEARTILY recommend college for the potential of intellectually broadening one’s perspective, this article points out the down-side of believing everything presented. Remember, most subjects being taught in colleges, or any school, are the result of human interpretations of human- developed theories of existence or endeavor with the ultimate objective of getting the student a job working for someone else! Most true learning comes from ‘following your muse’…following your innate wisdom, your personal intuition, concerning ‘your path’.” ~ Don Chapin

Specific Types Of Meditation Affect Different Areas Of The Brain
This article seems to be a corollary to an experience I had while Diane & I were living in Hong Kong, early in ’93. Having meditated using both TM and TBC’s Peace Be Still meditation – TM producing a steeper ‘path’ aimed at healing, while TBC’s meditation produced a more gradual ‘path’ aimed at spiritual advancement – I once attempted to combine the two in one session. Once was enough as I felt thoroughly jumbled and Diane’s guides had to straighten out my jumbled chakras.

Why Psychedelics Are Not A Shortcut To Enlightenment

It’s especially important in a time where psychedelic substances like mushrooms, ayahuasca, peyote and so forth are becoming quite popular. I believe we are losing sight of what they actually do and what their true purpose is…

What is Reiki?
A recent web-based article, actually concerning various alternate forms of healing in an interview format, entitled one portion of that interview as, “The Power of Reiki – Explained By Postdoctoral Research Fellow At Harvard Medical School” (published on February 14, 2018). This article led off with the statement, “In this part of the interview, we discuss the ancient healing art of Reiki, a healing modality that has been practiced and taught around the world for thousands of years.” This wording gives a completely erroneous concept of Reiki!
