Complete Nervous System of a Person

Ouch, but quite interesting.
There are eons of knowledge tucked away about life. This is simply from the 1920's a.d./ c.e.

From the web:

This remarkable work of art isn't a painting. It's a dissection of the entire human nervous system, removed from the body and left intact. The dissection was done by two students at the Kirksville Osteopathic College in the 1920's.

Not  so fond of the word hu-man...
Wiki Etymology of man:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_(word)

It is derived from a Proto-Indo-European root *man- (see Sanskrit/Avestan manu-, Slavic mǫž "man, male").[1] In Hindu mythology,Manu is a title accorded the progenitor of humankind. The Slavic forms (Russian muzh "man, male" etc.) are derived from a suffixed stem *man-gyo-. *Manus in Indo-European mythology was the first man, see Mannus, Manu (Hinduism)

In Old English the words wer and wīf (and wīfmann) were used to refer to "a man" and "a woman" respectively, while mann had the primary meaning of "adult male human" but could also be used for gender neutral purposes (as is the case with modern German man, corresponding to the pronoun in the English utterance "one does what one must").

HINDU TEMPLES - WHAT HAPPENED? Volume 1

I know that many USA, American people especially since the 1950's, have spent time visiting with their gurus and traveling to absorb the culture of India. 

Since I have yet to visit the vast continent where India is located, I must do my studies, and comparisons of cultures via book and internet for now. The myriad layers, eons of changes and viewpoints are yet to be touched, lets see what this one states.

I am saving this link here to review the volume:

He drinks 2 liters of juice from green vegetables each morning

Drinking green juices made of fresh green vegetables and vegetation, including wheat grass and sprouts, especially when made with very fresh, healthy vegetables always make me feel somehow fresher, lighter, and give a boost of energy after certain initial cleanse period, if I have been away from them for awhile.

It is very important I get back to this.

On another point, I have been considering for some years, other stories, tangential to the pro-vegetarian and "green" movement.

It is known that the poorer persons in some cultures, during times of hardship, took to eating green grass.

Several sources have mentioned that this happened in Ireland. Here is one reference:

http://www.historyplace.com/worldhistory/famine/hunger.htm

The Irish in the countryside began to live off wild blackberries, ate nettles, turnips, old cabbage leaves, edible seaweed, shellfish, roots, roadside weeds and even green grass.

Sarah Brightman to Sing in Space -

Though I know much is being done in Space, this is amazing and remarkable news to me today.

Sarah Brightman will sing in space - Cosmic Log

Following is quote from Cosmic Log above:
"Brightman probably won't be able to catch a ride to the station until 2015, when the space station's partners are planning to have astronauts begin a yearlong stay in orbit. Because of the logistics for that extended mission, there'll be an extra seat on an outbound and inbound Soyuz that a paying passenger can fill.

Like the eight other private space tours that have gone to the station over the past 11 years, Brightman's 10-day space odyssey is being arranged through Virginia-based Space Adventures. (One space traveler, software billionaire Charles Simonyi, has gone twice — which would make Brightman the eighth paying guest to visit the space station. She's the second woman to do so, after Iranian-American entrepreneur Anousheh Ansari.)"

Gourmet Wild Plant Foods - Durango, Colorado, USA

In recent years, the wild foods trend is coming alive again with a new generation. This video below shows what looks to be a pleasant place to visit in Durango, Colorado, USA. One more of the many little "pieces of kingdom of heaven on earth" I shall like to visit!

In almost all climates, it is wise action, for ones good health and yoga practice, to include times outdoors. Walking and hiking, noting ones surroundings, is good medicine. 

Best to have lively, nourishing, sound, serene, foods, environments and company as you aims to master yourself, and attend to your own souls calling. Choose to be in the company and energy fields of wholesome, courageous, kind, generous environments and peers who will lift you up.

I Have been interested finding and utilizing wild plants for their healthful offerings, for many years. This was not so common an art in most of the places I lived throughout USA. 

Early on in life, I studied and did my own drawing of plantains and other such easily findable and helpful plants. (I'll have to see if I saved any.)

In the late 1980's, early 1990's, I found Wildman Steve Brill and took edible nature walks in New York City, USA! You can still take walks and learn with him! http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/

Dwarka, India - 12,000 Year Old City Found - video

Our world is quite much more than mainstream education ever offers, even at many of the University levels. To me, the richer, generally untold, and various views of the past are interesting, and give one a fuller sense of what it means to be alive. I appreciate so much worlds past "mythology" as well as the  future to come.

Now, I am aware of the syncretizing of religions and cultures that is is being aimed for world-wide, so history is having her ongoing 

re-write...

" Now archaeologists and Indian Navy divers are investigating underwater ruins at Dwarka on India's western coast, said to be Krishna's city. The new efforts, it is hoped, will settle the debate currently raging over the age and authenticity of the site near the Samudranaraya temple. Divers have collected blocks and samples which will now be dated. Traditional Hindu scholars referencing ancient Hindu scriptures believe the location to be very ancient, originally built many thousands of years ago. Such notions are, of course, vehemently rejected by establishment scientists though they are willing to concede that there is evidence indicating an age of as much as 3500 years.

Of course the date when the city was destroyed would be long after the date of its inception, so a definitive maximum date has not been established. The new study is expected to resolve some of the issues. Archaeologists will now use the carbon dating technique to determine the exact age of the ruins."

NOW! in 2012 broadcast into the open air!

Open air concept...following are excerpts from the website:

Concept - Open Air - Philadelphia
Content from the website:
Open Air is an interactive art installation designed to transform Philadelphia’s historic Benjamin Franklin Parkway, between September 20 and October 14, 2012.
"Inspired by the city’s rich tradition of democracy and respect for free speech, Open Air is at once a visible voicemail system, a rant line, a public stage and an archive of recordings from Philadelphia’s past and present. The piece is the largest and brightest to date of Lozano-Hemmer’s searchlight installations. Despite its monumental size and its wide visibility, the project is not intended as a cathartic pre-programmed spectacle like a fireworks display or a son-et-lumière show. On the contrary, the piece is designed to attract personal participation that creates a sense of global connection, complicity and public agency.

      ______________________________________________________________


In this project, twenty four powerful searchlights create unique, dynamic light formations in the sky which react to voice messages sent by participants using a free mobile app and this website. The public is invited to record and submit messages of up to 30 seconds in length — shout-outs, poems, songs, rants, dedications, proposals. As the messages playback in Philadelphia, the lights react in brightness and position to the frequency and amplitude of the voice recordings, which can be heard through the mobile app, the website and public speakers located at the Project Information Center at Eakins Oval (24th Street and the Parkway).

Priority is given to mobile app messages sent live from the Parkway during the show, but messages can also be sent through this website at any time. Messages submitted through the web are archived and played-back by the lights if other web visitors rate them highly. A personalized webpage is created automatically for every participant, featuring their message, comments, rating and images of the light designs that their voice created.

Depending on atmospheric conditions, Open Air will be seen up to 10 miles away from the Parkway each evening from 8 to 11 p.m. The Project Information Center at Eakins Oval will be equipped with app download, free mobile loan stations and seating areas for watching the lights and listening to the messages. There will also be an Information Outpost located at Sister Cities Park (18th Street and Logan Square)."

Δημήτριος Γαλανός-Demetrios Galanos 1760-1833

Oh what a life to know. 

Born in Athens, Greece in 1760, he spent 47 years in India, where he translated many Hindu sacred texts into Greek and compiled a Sankrit-English-Greek dictionary of over 9000 words. He died on May 3, 1833 in Varanasi, India. 

He was buried in the Catholic cemetery there, and his tombstone is inscribed with the epitaph, "ΕΙΣ ΜΝΗΜΗΝ ΔΗΜΗΤΡΙOΥ ΓΑΛΑΝΟΥ ΤΟΥ ΑΘΗΝΑIOΥ" (in memory of Dimitrios Galanos the Athenian). Munshi Sital Singh (a "wise Brahman" who was a friend and teacher of Galanos) wrote these verses in Hindustani, which he affixed above the tomb: "Woe, a hundred times! Dimitrios Galanos departed from this world to the eternal monads. Woe me! Weeping and wailing have I said it. I am out of myself. Ah, he has gone away, the Plato of this century) (Schulz 1969, p.354).[1] 

Preceded by a short remembrance in Persian, the following Greek dirge was also added by Ananias, curate to the Patriarch of Sinai: "Demetrios Galanos, the Athenian from Greece, died in the Indies. He was a friend of the Muses and a man of learning. He shone brightly in fame and vocation. He left this wearisome life and departed for a life without affiction and eternal. Out of gratitude, his nephew Pandoleon erects this cenotaph for his eternal memory" (Schulz 1969, p. 355).[2]

A "Dimitrios Galanos" Chair for Hellenic Studies was established at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India in September 2000.[1]

Teeth from inside skull looking up

Every detail matters on ones life. Every single one.

Observe how the teeth are placed, where they are placed. No wonder people fear dentists.  It is deep and intelligent for people to be concerned about drills and needles so close to the brain and spinal cord. Preventative dentistry is best. But, if one has not been able to prevent harm to teeth, be very thoughtful for the care when attending to repair.

"The foramen magnum, or "great hole," is the hole in the bottom of the skull through which the spinal cord passes in order to connect to the brain by merging with the brain's lowermost portion, the medulla oblongata."

Rubbing nails together stimulates nerve pathways! Hair and Nails Health

Well, this is an interesting little exercise to consider:
Rubbing nails!!!!!!!!!!! [Archive] - The Long Hair Community Discussion Boards
http://archive.longhaircommunity.com/archive/index.php/t-57737.html


“Nerve endings below your fingernails are directly connected to your hair roots. By rubbing your nails against one another, you help to improve the blood circulation in your scalp, which in turn reduces grey hair.”
Other than rubbing your nails together, one hands nails against the other, here are two other 5 Minute Fix-Its that are equally effective in controlling premature graying:
• When you get up in the morning, rub the area of your forehead closest to your hairline. This helps in removing any blocks in circulation in your scalp. Rub lightly for a few minutes. That’s all it takes!
• Yoga Asana: Kapalbhati

See 2012 Woodstock Fruit Festival here- Plan for next year!

Woodstock Fruit Festival is an annual(so far) summer retreat in New York State, USA. 

It is a sweet time and place to cleanse and rejuvenate.

Some people do not fancy, or have difficulty chewing or digesting all those greens and vegetables.

There will be teachers and peers there who have lived through difficulties such as this, as well as many other modern life illnesses, and are finding active solutions to good health in present times. 

Each will tell their own personal story. Much better than simply reading it in a book! Living books!

Plan for next year! 

Also, each person interviewed, has a website listed under this Youtube video.

Fresh Green Juices ~a trend that works well for health

Throughout ancient cultures until today, there is a great deal of spin to consider in reference to food, drink, and nourishment advice.
 It is good to consider who, what, when, where and why a paradigm or model of food consumption is being promoted, endorsed or vilified. Who is profiting at each level in the present and future.

On a simple note, where I can stand for now,
after years of living both with and without consuming fresh juices...
I can say that, freshly made juices, pressed from good quality vegetables, including green ones, do make for good natural "medicines" when one of our western culture, would like to cleanse a body and nourish a body.
Now, the Breatharians, such as Jasmuheen, will have another view on this, and that is another subject altogether.
If you are coming from an earth-based, foods based diet, such as we have in most western cultures,
regularly drinking good quality, fresh-made green juices, NOT pre-packaged, will do most bodies well.
Now I know that this supports the agri-businesses, if you are based in many domesticated places around our world now.
And that is ok, if you have no time or inclination to garden.
If you do have, even a small or large space to garden, and can make a bit of time to tend it, then, this will be even better for making fresh juices in your home at least 2-4 seasons a year, depending on your climate.
So, as long as you are away from exhaust fumes, in a city home, country estate, rooftop garden, shared condo garden, or community garden, it is good to consider a little hobby of growing what will make your own nice juices.

Happy, Fun Sound of "Call Me Maybe"

Yoga of sound and voice...


Love that as soon as rhythm begins everyone's head begins bobbing. What we are being told to call the 5th and 6th chakra, interesting at-tunement.

Watched it several times to see each person's participation with their instruments.
It is sweet when they all join in with chorus: "Before you came into my life I missed you so bad; )"
HAPPY SOUNDS .
