06 febbraio David Lee Roth - Strummin' With The DevilThis is not only wrong ... but ... both visually and aurally disturbing.
Only click this link if you have an iron constitution.
I ... need to go wash this outta my head ... some ... how ...
01 febbraio The Search for GodA friend sent me this today. It is beautiful.
"As you walk by me, millions of nerve cells spark in my brain and I have to turn to look at you again. You look back at me and a soft, brief smile forms on your lips. As you notice my eyes following you, your smile triggers an adrenaline release that causes my heart to race. Thoughts of you light the emotional fire centers of my mind. For a brief moment you literally live in my skin. As we connect, my mind works overtime obsessing on your smell and the color of your eyes. You beat in my heart. You pulse in my nervous system from my brain to the sole of my feet.
"I start to become disoriented when we are apart. Over time, your touch becomes essential. I crave you. Your body feels warm and reassuring. I need it next to me. I sleep peacefully knowing you are near, and wake often in the dark to feel your skin. "I look for you in my brain when you are away. How does that happen? You must have cells that mirror my desires. The neurons of my eyes light up with sparks when you walk in a room, especially if you have been away for a while. Songs, smells, places and pictures never let me forget you as they trigger the memory centers in my brain where you live as if you were next to me. "The judgment part of my brain watches what I say when we are together so I can protect your feelings. I watch how your eyes, face and body move as you talk to me, to know if you are happy, desirous or in need of a hug or understanding." =========
I understand that it was written by a neuroscientist and brain-imaging specialist, Dr. Daniel G. Amen; someone I'd not heard of until today.
It’s amazing that a brain neuroscientist came up with this…and yet not hard to see why. At the cellular level – even at the nuclear level – scientists wrestle with the tiniest blocks of matter and try to understand how we get emotion out of it – how we feel love, how we experience the spiritual and emotional from the simplest elements of carbon and water.
There are lots of references to the medical in his writing (brain, adrenaline, nervous system, cells, neurons, etc.); and yet you can see him struggle with rationalizing all that against the emotional connection he feels for another. Can science ever explain the essential elements of man? I say No. For me, this is where religion comes in and explains the relationship between man, matter, and Spirit. But I digress…
This is why I so loved the movie Contact. And this is also why I appreciate man’s obsession with nuclear physics – it’s the scientist’s search for his god – for something that can explain what he is, but with a language that is all his own; one that is fully material and temporal.
