Joseph Campbell, the scholar who studied the parallels of the myths of human history and how they relate to us in modern times, taught that if we are to accept that we are actually here, we must say "yes" to it all. That is, that life has a lot of beauty and harmony, but also a lot of harshness, pain, and death. If we are to exist at peace while we're alive, we must say "yes" and accept the way life...

I'd like to write about something that causes a fair amount of disturbance in my mind. I suspect that it does for everyone, not just me; but I think many people aren't even aware of it. So I'd like to hear some ideas and thoughts from the community on their experiences with this "menace" and how to combat it. The culprit is "mental noise," also known as the inner monologue. It's a voice that ceaselessly...

Interesting Healthcare Issue From Digg.com: President Bush, in a confrontation with Congress, on Wednesday vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have dramatically expanded children's health insurance. It was only the fourth veto of Bush's presidency, and one that some Republicans feared could carry steep risks for their party in next year's elections. View Story I recommend reading the debates about...

I'd like to ask the community a question and see what others have to say about this subject. But first, the question requires a brief introduction. Suppose you knew the answers to all the questions you've pondered and given up on getting answers to. The big questions. Would it change your life at all? How did creation begin? Was there a beginning or has it always been? Is there an afterlife? Do...

From a recent study that was published, it looks like aspartame isn't as clearly bad as people think. It's common for people to say that artificial sweeteners cause cancer and brain defects, but according to the evidence -- or lack their of -- it appears to be perfectly safe. Here's an article that summarizes some of the safety studies: Click to view. People often site that aspartame causes cancer...

Today I looked at the label of a bag of Cheddar Jalapeño Cheetos® just for fun. I don't eat them, but a co-worker had some. The label had all the ingredients that we are told by holistic health professionals are causes of cancer, heart disease, and all kinds of other health problems -- MSG, food dyes, partially hydrogenated oils, natural and artificial flavors, and other scary processed ingredients....

This is from HealthiNation.com: Project Greenhouse Series Synopsis Josh is a regular guy. He drives to work in his 4-wheel drive, eats burgers and pizza, watches a lot of TV, and hangs out with buddies a few nights a week. The good life, right? No so much. Josh has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and he's starting to have trouble doing ordinary things, like walking up steps without wheezing....

I'm pasting part of a conversation some coworkers and I had yesterday. We were trying to define what "me" is (the body, the soul [if there is one], the consciousness?). CET: Just an extention of our previous lunch conversation. Thinking about this gave me a nose bleed, maybe you guys will fare better with it. ;-) If you get into a Star Trek transporter, your body is taken apart atom by atom and reconstructed...

We see so many articles these days about food being linked to disease, I have no idea what's safe to eat anymore. Sometimes it sounds like pretty much everything kills or maims us! :-) Beef & Pork = Heart disease and cancer Fish = Mercury poisoning Eggs = Too much cholesterol Cheese = Too much salt and saturated fat Tofu / Soy = Alzheimer's, shrunken brain, too much estrogen Carbs = Weight gain Sugar...

Healthcare reformers seem to most often blame pharmaceutical companies, the Gov't, insurers, and doctors for the broken healthcare system. From my observations, it appears that the general public created the healthcare crisis, not the system. "The system" is always the result of the cumulative consciousness of the society. The current crisis is probably created by a combination of both, but I think...
