		<description>Hi Carlotta,

I&#039;ll have to look into Gary Zukav. Bruce Lipton is someone you might be interested in. I&#039;ve only just discovered him myself but haven&#039;t read any of his books yet. Dean Raddin has got some great material too, but again I&#039;ve just found him.

Thanks for the comment, Simon.</description>

		<description>Although I have kept out of most of the discussions on this post, I do have thoughts and also experiences. I am very much a believer that we are all basically energy, electricity, atoms, sub particles, etc. I came to this belief when 13 years ago I devoted much of my free time in search of answers that one comes upon when you get to a point in your life and you ask the age old question &quot;Why Am I Here?&quot; 

Most of my life has been intertwined with, at least in my estimation, an incredible sense of timing. I don&#039;t believe, once again there are no coincidences in life. During this part of my life I started to examine why I was here and what it meant.  I was raised in the Catholic religion, but at this point of my life I was  very much an Agnostic.

I started reading and learning as much as I could from a gentlemen, known as the &quot;The Sleeping Prophet&quot;, Edgar Cayce. I was so intent on learning his life&#039;s work, that I went to where Mr Cayce built his &quot;hospital&quot; in Virginia Beach. Where I was able to walk to grounds and touch parts of his life through most of my senses. Why Virginia Beach is a story all to itself, again with many self discoveries  on my behalf.

Shortly after a book came out called the Celestine Prophecies, which was on the best seller list for many months. I fictionalized easy read that was popular and still is because of it&#039;s simplicity and questions it brings about. I also at this time joined two local groups who were very much into this realm of thinking(belief) and also holistic practices. It was very much a grounding, enlightening  and meaningful time of my life, which in essence to this day is still very much how I live my life.
While I do not proclaim to be anything close to an expert or a practitioner like Simon. I do believe we are very much a product of energy. 

Without going into a long dissertation, it is the closest and most logical way that I believe how we exist and how we interact with the world around us. There are many labels people call this whether it is the our spirit, our souls, etc. As the bible states from &quot;dust to dust&quot; most human beings cannot accept that is all we are. Nor should they. I also believe the Bible, Torah, Holy Scriptures, Koran etc are a great books published by men who interpreted words, visions and actions of their prophet(s).

In conclusion. the more I read and learn the more questions I have. Will any of us receive all the answers. No I don&#039;t believe that is possible. 

What this one post, although very specific in regards to topic, reopens all those thoughts, beliefs and questions to me once again. I can say I am at a much better place in my life, spiritually because of my self learning. 

But this topic, like politics will always have different views and thoughts. I very much wanted to introduce this into our blog for this reason: That men are a complex beings, that sometimes are easily labeled as single minded, visual beings. And maybe rightfully so. 

I know you D through your blog and believe you do not prescribe to that notion. But in between the fun and stereotypical Man posts. It is important to me, that we should always have a balance of subjects, especially with the health of mind, body and spirit. Not only for men but our beautiful partners, women.</description>

		<description>Hello Simon and thank you for your thoughts.
Indeed it is so much easier to say I understand if I only have to think we are all connected through a life long extension cord :)
It so erases so many why&#039;s when it comes to ones behaviors and characteristics.

The sound of Scientology comes to mind when I read how you describe the whole family synergy mystery !
Again thank you do much!</description>

		<description>I will admit that the title was enough to heighten my curiosity, and I am glad I read the article.  It reminds me a lot of what Gary Zukav talks about, and though I don&#039;t think a lot of people like to talk about this sort of thing, I really believe there is a lot of truth to it. We learn a lot on a subconscious subliminal level, and it is amazing the way what we don&#039;t fully realize impacts our lives.</description>

		<description>Hi Dorothy,

Yes a tangled web indeed. I see all things as being connected. Everything is in the field. What you think and do is recorded by my energy field because I&#039;m a part of the &#039;field&#039;. Six billion lives, but only one life. One mind. Science cannot locate memory or mind in the body. I believe mind is in the energy field. If we didn&#039;t have language what would our minds be doing?  

What are cells? If you magnify a cell you will find these wide open spaces. Science believes frozen light fills these spaces. What&#039;s the source? We&#039;re almost 99% of nothing. It&#039;s the nothing we share. My DNA is the product of my parents. Everything has a vibration. It&#039;s the vibration/frequency we inherit.  

I&#039;ve worked with clients who have had no contact with their fathers/mothers and yet have the same personality traits and mannerisms. How is this possible? Our energy fields and the field store this information. 

Thanks for the comment, Simon.</description>

		<description>hmmmm...I have had to think about my reply here as my mind tends to feel very challenged when there is one answer to the why&#039;s of the human&#039;s mind where behavior is concerned. 
 
There have been so many experiments and research done on this very subject...from is it learned behavior...is it environmental stimulation....it is chemical and or genetic... can it be a spiritual energy?....and on and on. 
 
Take an adopted child for example...raised in a family totally different than what his/her own would have been....is that child going to grow up and become a different person....or is that person going to be initially the same? 
 
We are so much of what we see and hear..aka &#039;learned behavior&#039;....that it makes it very hard to really know exactly who we are initially .  
 
Using the example of grandfather down to father ect as passing down negative and abusive DNA is a hard one to agree with....using my example of removing that child and having him/her raised in a complete different household may very well break that cycle then proving the learned behavior theory quite well. 
 
Then again we have the example of the very good upbringing in a balanced home...with the child who on the outside was known as intelligent, charming, all around good person...turn into a mass murderer or serial killer....where the heck do those characteristics come from......? 
 
As I said...there is a very tangled web in this question. 
 
I wish I had more time to confuse everyone even more :P 
 
Awesome thought provoking topic guys....many thanks to Glenn and the guest writer!

		<description>Hi Todd. I like this: it is imbedded in their mind. I&#039;ll agree, but I see mind as being in the energy field and not within the body. Science can&#039;t find the mind in the body. I&#039;ve also had many experiences where clients have not known their fathers/mothers yet display the same characteristics. A different nurturing environment and yet they still act out the character flaws of the absent abusive parent. Something to consider. Thanks for the comment, Simon. </description>
