I am sitting in our upper lounge room, the only place in our house that is not too messy and overrun with people. Our house has been "invaded" by a large crew of air conditioning technicians and electricians. They drill holes in our walls, mount huge remote operated systems and run a new electric line into our house, in order to handle the load of six massive air conditioning units. It is the end of summer, and I have my doubts if we will even need any cooling until next summer. It feels foolish to spend a small fortune to install air conditioning when the weather is turning colder and colder by the day... Not only is it no longer warm enough to run air conditioning, but a few days ago when we returned home from the Breckenridge Film Festival, the slopes of Breckenridge mountain were covered in a deep layer of snow. Cars in Breckenridge were also covered with fresh snow, and on the two hour drive back towards our home, we saw snow dusted all over the mountain range until we r...

Not long ago, I published a post on the subject of our spiritual potential. In it, I contemplated out loud that it is well within the restorative power of our TRUE NATURE to regrow limbs, fingers and toes that had been severed by accidents. This week on a few news websites, I saw a story of a horse jockey who lost his finger to a horse bite. The horse mistook his finger for a cookie, and bit it off. Somebody put his hand into the horse's mouth and pulled out the finger. They put it on ice and rushed to the hospital, hoping it could be reattached. The finger was beyond repair, but Dr. Eugenio Rodriguez of Florida, had a unique idea... He offered an experimental procedure, in which he would attach a mold, made from the soft bladder of a pig, to the remaining stump of the finger. Despite the fact that the insurance company said they would not pay for the procedure and demanded that the jockey undergo an imputation, the patient decided to give it a try with the hope that the...

It is the Jewish New Year and I got this email from Israel: "Dear God, For the New Year, I would like to ask you for a thin body and a fat bank account. I would like to thank you very much in advance, and implore you... please be very careful, because last year you seemed to have confused the two...." Speaking of a thin body... I would like to recommend two documentaries for those of you who struggle with extra weight or have chronic dis-eases, for which you are taking pills. The first movie is called "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead." The movie was made by Joe, a successful commodity trader from Sidney, Australia, who "celebrated" his success until all the partying and all the fine dining got him....... Well, fat, sick and nearly dead. He decided to reverse his condition by going on a trip across the USA and to eat nothing but fresh squeezed juices during those sixty days. Joe's journey has inspired many others since the movie was released. In England after...
