Curt Sanders: So you are a Christian Scientist then? You don't go to doctors. You don't take any vaccines including Small Pox? You don't wear glasses? You don't get your teeth fixed? You don't wear shoes or clothes?
Mother Nature is a bitch who's been trying to kill me since the day I was born and pretty soon she'll succeed in her mission.

no Timmy you completely missed my comment.. I condemn unethical Ego driven Frankenstein GFO poisoned science..so handy for the military to abuse and CRISPr crap...
Mother Nature creates life, controls it, and takes it away sometimes in earthquakes, Tidal Waves, and Wild fires.. so unless you die in an act of nature .. your death is your own doing, your physical ailments are are your doing not Mother Nature's... not enough exercise, eating wrongly, drinking, drugs, covid vaccines, or a combination of all the above. We are completely responsible for our current state, physical, mental, spiritual...
Mother Nature if you give her a chance can be a healer.... Wholistic Doctors are healers as well..they don't get involved in GOF, etc...
Curt Sanders: I understood your comment. Your belief in "Mother Nature" is your business. We are NOT completely responsible for our physical state. Are not genetic defects from your "Mother Nature"? Down's Syndrome for example?
There is no Eden accept for what mankind has created through hard work and research. Earth is not a paradise.
I spent six months in the Amazon jungle in Brazil. Try it yourself and see if it changes your attitude.
The Amazonians have a saying, "God is strong. But the Forest is stronger."
Timmie, you misconstrue again.. I have no belief in Mother Nature... she is simply a Force to be reckoned with here on Earth.. I am not interested in belief, yours, mine or any others..[they are just mental constructs that one personally identifies with] I am interested in the Unconditional Absolute Truth, Reality...and the Art of Living..
6 mos in the Amazon that's good brother, yes, but I have spent the better part of 60 yrs in Mother Natures womb, fact.. , 30 yrs surfing year round All conditions and 50 yrs of climbing vertical rock walls across the entire NA continent.. couple hundred 1st ascents[just a few Big Ones] shore to shore.. from Yosemite's El Capitan in every season, to the Baja's El Gran Trono Blanco, winter ascents in Zion.. skiing back and forth across the Sierra Nevada's Wild and wonderful back country from Lone Pine to Lake Tahoe for most winters the last 20+ yrs..
Those are just facts as is the fact I have been and am Blessed to continue.. I give Thanks every time I rope up or strap on the skis or paddle out.. don't know If I will see another year or another week.. probably will, but none the less I am going for it till the very End.. Death is my close friend.. nothing to fear.. like Life also a close friend.. and nothing to fear..
Regarding Down Syndrome well the way I see it.. thats is a special state a soul chooses to experience for a multitude of possible reasons... its not some random bad roll of the genetic dice..
Lastly, don't want to take total Responsibility for your current state..? You don't have to.... no.. but Maybe if at some point you will want to explore that deeply the Universe will give you that opportunity...
Keep smiling, keep Digging Deep, physical death is coming...ain't no Big Thing
Curt Sanders: You have had an active life as have I. I ran marathons and exercised every day. I ate right. But shit still happens.
Death doesn't scare me. Ending up in a nursing home terrifies me. The Art of Living is what I'm interested in as well. There is no Art of Living in a Memory Care Center.
My wife and I spent three years visiting her parents in Memory Care. That is a trip to the seventh level of Hell in Dante's Inferno.
Debra's parents were SoCal health nuts. And yet they both got Alzheimer's and ended up in Memory Care.
I once was like you. I enjoyed every day and thought life was kinda fair. If I took care of myself, I'd be okay. Nope.
I like the idea that I partially learned from Mr Rappoport and that is this is sort of corrupt astro local we choose to come and gain experience, of which we can revolutionize to the core. We. Any of us. One of us. Because that is the real nature, not necessarily the created and predictabilities of this space/time so called natural hypnotic world. We are a bit more than that. I know, scientists, nature lovers, and others will argue their convictions too. Isn't that neat? A place where everyone can find the data that supports their current convictions. I love it.
Sean Garrisson: I can only speak from personal experience and books I've read. There is something very magical about human beings. I like, or did like in the Pre-Covid Con Days, to sit and just watch and listen to people.
Just watching them move, talk, emote, interact... was amazing every time. So much variety but in every person I could see that magical spark.
Oh and I haven't forgot. I am going to get a list of books you have recommended once I get caught up. Im into a few right now plus I like to study Rappoports work. I listen to his collections, do some exercises and I like to write out some of his talks and reread those. I find writing what he talks about is really good. I figured that out a while back when I was writing down all of his Imagination Exercises and compiling it in a notebook. Then I found myself writing some of what he would comment on in regards to an exercise. I'd look at it. Reread it. And say, wtf is that? That is some really good stuff. Ive head him say it and I figured out it was even more magical writing it out and reading it. So I do his full talks. And same thing happens. Still. Anyway. I would have never known the world of non fiction until him and you. And its true importance. Never knew.
Sean: I never thought of writing down other's words. I have copied passages from books and articles, even typed them sometimes, so I see what you mean. It does increase understanding.
Currently I'm reading "Phoenix & Belgrano" by Ricky D. Phillips. It is about the USS Phoenix light cruiser in WWII which after the war, was sold to Argentina. A British submarine sank the Belgrano in the Falklands War (1982).
It is interesting to me how people interact with each other in government, military, and on the streets.
Wow, that is really neat. Variety. I finally can see that. Magical Spark. Now that is something I will have to work on. To me it is someone allowing me and to not interfere. Then I reflect, am I violating that myself? Yep.
