thanks for the reference to the holonomic brain theory

- great isn't it -

most people haven't heard of David Bohm -
I think that that is a real shame - I childishly call Bohm and Bohr the 'Beau Bros' -
for their contributions to our understanding of extant reality.

So
- if I could just add that -
you guys really should have a look at Pribram -
he has a beard, but don't let that put you off :-)

(unless you meet the dude and he wants to kiss you on the lips)
bleuchhhh!

Pribram is a great neuro guy - and I love his work also -
in and around and not restricted to the holonomic brain.

-> ToEf:Dip
Watch out though guyfriends -
the 'mirror theory is incorrect' - here's some more info from a couple of years ago when we cast the first of a small handful of glances at the principles of the mirror neurone.

:: edit ::
I couldn't find the thread which was dedicated to mirror neurones -
and so would you take a look at posts #5 - #15
here ->

--- point 3 ---

Incidentally -
- the whole 'lucid dreaming' thing can be understood by examining its convergence with EEGs (the waveforms given off by our noggins) -
I see you're a Brit ToEf::MJ -
and so you'll know what a 'noggin' represents (and its relationship to 'noodle').

So - 'lucid dreaming'
- alongside the actual basis to telepathy -

I hesitate to mention telepathy -
people generally turn off and call me a lunatic -
- however these days I persevere whilst crying tears inwardly.


Anyhow - lovely lovely
- see you guys soon
- and if you feel the urge to be rude to me -
be very rude to me - I'm used to it -


how anyone as lovely as my charming self could ever be considered a bombastic prig
- is like tuhuhuhtally like totally beyond me -
:-)

(check out my ToEf Introduction for more on David Bohm - if you like)

- by the way ToEf::Dip
- did you know that David Bohm had a long standing relationship (academic) with Jiddu Krishnamurti (an Indian philosopher) ?
and suffered at the hands of McCarthy-ism, left the States and arrived just down the road from my goodself (ok
- so 50 miles away from Cambridge at London's Birkbeck College
- generally considered a world centre of excellence in the crystallographic method
... ... particularly protein crystallography over the last couple of decades.

I quite liked Krishnamurti until I read his dying words -
'but nobody truly understood me'



It's a bit like thinking
'- geeze - I'd better say something totally profound as I die so that when people find out that I didn't quite get things straight in mi' noggin-housed 'noodle' -
- that I've introduced enough doubt into current interpretations
- enough doubt that I can shelter in the spaces in between.'

Exchange rates show that the mind is strong against the brain,

So


that

- yeah.
