Hi everyone! This is an announcement for a Tropical Ethnobotany Field Course I am teaching this summer in beautiful Bocas del Toro, Panama. The course runs from July 15-August 9. Please forward this information on to any other students who may be interested. Applications are still being accepted. You can find additional details on the course website and the ITEC website.
For Those Who Think
- that poetry is a useless encumbrance
they have to wade past while ignoring
furiously, lest they become changed
or enlightened by mere words.
Or, heavens forfend! Become
empathic with a strangers'
point of view.
I will quote briefly from:
Science and the Akashic Field
An Integral Theory of Everything
by Ervin Laszlo page 6
The branches of trees are the neuronal pathways of a giant vegetal brain. The leaves are like eyes operating a kind of hormonal sight whereby the information is stored in cells as it grows. So we really should pay more attention to the oldest of trees.
There is a level of atmospheric pressure, a sweet spot where sound energy will travel without loss of energy. AND as it is above, so it is below.. underwater there is the same "sweet spot" where the waves of energy travel without loss.
Recent advances in cellular science are heralding an important evolutionary turning point. For almost fifty years we have held the illusion that our health and fate were preprogrammed in our genes, a concept referred to as genetic determinacy.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
