This sounds like a very good book, Freshwater!

In a similar vein, I liked "Evolve Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind" by Joe Dispenza. Warning tho' - it's tediously long, repetive (which is a cutesy "teaching technique" I find annoying; it's SO pavlovian to parcel out the good ideas by making the reader jump through those hoops) and while he does give lots of real-world examples he goes too much in-depth into bio-neuroscience. Less of an emphasis on the emotional-psychological sciences... which can, I believe, impact and change the biology side of things, with enough "practice"... and also, vice versa.

Does it always take seven years to shift toxicity?

[sKePTiKal]

Which kind of toxicity? Physical or emotional? (not saying it really matters which...)

It is really an odd, almost coincidental thing about the "7 years phenomenon". I've witnessed it in my own life... and my next birthday will put me 2 years away from another 7 yr. mile-marker. I don't know what the "rules" are about these things or how they work... I just see the recurring patterns of real change in those 7 yr. chunks.

Maybe it's some kind of energy or physics thing on the physical/emotional plane? I think there are also spiritual traditions revolving around 3s and 7s, too. 5 and 9 in chinese systems.

I'm on a fixed income, why am I broke?

A hair dresser once told me something about the lifecycle of hair strands I think it's close to every 7 years people shed?

Oh yes indeed TT.

I hate it when you see kids get involved with people who don't seem to have any humour. They seem to drag the humour out of the kid. That's not funny, I'm just saying.

'Pointless drama' is a nice phrase to remember. Probably a bit like 'senseless violence' though - darma (hahaha! ) DRAMA I would guess always has a point to some nuthead. 'Darma drama' would be a nice handle I think.

[sKePTiKal]

OH FW...

but darma drama can be sooooo toxic...

[Guest]

Yeah! I wasn't thinking of using the name myself, except ironically.

Humility is the most valuable and admirable characteristic one can have traveling the path of life.   It is the crowning touch for everything moral.  It's good for others.  It's good for us and if done in service to God, I think it makes Him  .

What profit hath a man of all his labor which he
taketh under the sun?  One generation passeth
away and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth
forever.  The sun also riseth and the sun goeth down and
hasteth to his place where he arose.  The wind goeth toward
the south and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about
continually and the wind returneth again according to his
circuits.  All rivers run to the sea; and the sea is never full; unto
the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return
again.  All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it; the eye
is not satisfied with seeing nor the ear filled with hearing.

That's both interesting and pretty funny TT.   I love being a boob!

[Guest]

TT, I hesitated to ask, but I will ask: the emails: were they loving, sorrowful...angry, hateful?

[teartracks]

They were kind and loving.
