Twins The Same But Different

In an earlier post. I quizzed readers which was which?
One of the babies is my twin brother.

I also said I got into astrology - because I did not want to be the same as him! (but then I had to accept the similarities). Here's one:
I have my Reiki "Just for Today"  poster on my wall and he has his own home made poster (or prayer) relating to God and the universe.


Very similar wording too!

Placebos - BBC2 Horizon 17th Feb 2014

Just watched this documentary mentioning all the usual things we already know about placebos and reasonably informative if you didn't. But they did include a operation without the actual treatment going ahead and acupuncture with "pretend" needles - both of which produced good outcomes.


I feel that they could have taken it a lot further.
Here are some questions:
1. Once the trials ended, many patients were trying to seek out their placebo pills at health food shops - none available. What about making them available?
(or try homeopathy perhaps?)


2. The trials suggested that even just talking to patients helped. I feel that there could be much more study into this. And what happens when the patients are left to their own devices?


My opinion it is  psychoneuroimmunology at work.

And it is the addition of a third party (a human) who makes treating the condition seem valid and so works.
Hence the value that complementary practitioners bring to the world.

Thought I would see what happens when it all gets mixed ...

Just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings. Everything

Just for today I will NOT worry. Swords or Air

Just for today I will NOT be angry. Wands or Fire

Just for today I will do my work honestly. Disks or Earth

Just for today I will be kind to my neighbour and every living thing. Cups or Water

RESPECT THE ONENESS OF ALL LIFE Everything

Extinction: Some do and some don’t

I often question myself on human’s eco responsibility.

Should we help save the rain forests or the tigers etc?

Or should we let nature take its course? After all extinction is a part of the evolutionary process. That also ultimately includes us.

I decided that as none of us would be here (warts and all) if we were not so diverse and so concluded to live and let live.

In other words, some have the nature to help particular things and others look at the wider view of nature and do their own thing.

It is all part of nature. Enjoy and do what you feel is right.
