week 10 Life and Living System

1. I know I'm a "living system" because........ I guess it begins by that's what I have been told! Really I would consider myself living, because, of my ability to breathe, eat, eliminate, reproduce, and expand my consciousness!
2. Biophysics and Oriental Medicine I would classify both of them as more "organic" They are both based on the energy in motion transforming, moving and become life!

week 9 Synthesis

• My E-Prime day is a way of not necessarily making judgment, but basically being responsible for your own outlook on life speaking on your own behalf, not assuming that everyone sees it the same as you do! To spend an entire day speaking in E-Prime appears to me pretty annoying lol! I think most people spend too much of their day looking for things to be offended about and I really live under the rules that say that your opinion of me is none of my business!
• Can I synthesize East and West?  I say yes of course! I feel like in 2010 there has been so many before me that have laid the pavers out so I have miles and miles of  paths that I can take just like Steve says over and over "Same Disease Different treatment, Different Disease Same Treatment" So with that said my ability to relay the message in what ever language it needs to come across in, because I am not attached to any one side, although  I am attached to helping the patient get the message it in any way they can, and it is my responsibility to be open and mindful of where they come from! 

Week 8 Classical Physics

1. Newton's three laws and me- the first law is like being in school it took the momentum or desire to start the process, then second it takes me being responsible and moving myself mass through the process, and third the act of studying is the action so the reaction will be my masters degree in the end. You can not obtain a degree without using each of Newtons laws, or anything else you desire in your life it always takes desire, effort, and action to obtain the goal!
2. Our "Energy Efficient" culture- Hmmm that is an interesting statement, I think that especially Americans we are happy with all of our comfortable homes, refrigerators, beds, fast food, Internet and get a little grumpy when the electricity goes out for an hour or the Internet is not fast enough all of these experience are not very Energy Efficient! I believe if we all start with small things like recycle, get away from anything disposable, and work on adding solar to all of our homes, start growing enough food to support our personal needs we may have a chance to survive what is coming otherwise my children and grandchildren might not have our planet earth to call home!
3. Descartes has a lot to answer for!- He was a brilliant man he realized that one can only do what he is capable of, because he is limited to his mind and reality of the world around him. He called it common sense, and maybe we could say it is limited consciousness or awareness and the only way to grow is to expand your mind and be open to the idea that we do not know it all!

week 7 Chaos Therory

1. "Ordered Chaos" - to me it is the idea that we think we can control our environment, but that desire for control can drive us to madness! It reminds me of being married, I am not sure who puts this in our heads maybe Christianity? That it is our job to make our spouse happy, well that is impossible because the only person you can make happy is you! Happiness is an inside job so trying to control the uncontrollable is a waste of energy please yourself!
2. Fractals as patterns of a complex system - Fractals are everywhere you look in most objects like my favorite the diamond or a kaleidoscope they are both beautiful to our eyes, and I guess I have never been one who needs to understand how they work, I just know they work because of how they make me feel, I feel good when I look at my diamond ring, or as a kid I loved looking through my kaleidoscope and watching it forever move with in its beautiful patterns, but as a complex system again I think it is more the West style to put things into a measurement so we can make sense of why it does what it does, and just maybe we are not always meant to figure it all out?
3. Consciousness out of Chaos? - I think that the group as a whole (mankind) is not very connected yet I think it is something that is being forced on us by universe, because us humans like comfort and when we are comfortable we have no need to improve (in general), but consciousness is expanding at light speeds and forcing us to wake up and connect with each other so that we can make room for whatever is next in the ride we call life!
