JC> I wasn't trying to "explain" anything. My statement is clearly a 
uestion.
JC> If you are arguing "for" (or "against") "unconditional love" being a part
JC> of "touch therapy" then you'll have to take the issue up with Lorraine.
Not knowing Lorraine, I will have to remain ignorant.
JC> Cool. When your body functions (whether they are electric or hydraulic)
JC> stop, you're dead. And to me it's pretty obvious that NOBODY knows 
xactly
JC> how those functions operate otherwise or physical bodies could exist
JC>forever.
JC> JK> And yet ask doctors and nurses about this....ask them how the human
JC> JK> body makes electricity and see how many of them know.  Do you?
JC> I don't know and don't really care. Not one of the big philosophical
JC> questions I ask myself.
It isn't a philosophical question, but merely one about the mineral
content of the human body and of the foods we eat. We are finally
coming around to the knowledge that we have a long way to go in this
direction.
JC> JK> There are shamans who understand how to access that electromagnetic
JC> JK> field without surgery and how to use it to help folks.  They have 
een
JC> JK> doing this for centuries in such places as the back woods of Canada,
JC> JK> Central America, our Indian tribes........and once did also in 
ncient
JC> JK> Egypt.
JC> Sure. But what exactly makes them all shamans? The fact that they can
JC> "access that electromagnetic field without surgery?" Does a faith healer
JC> "access" that "electromagnetic field" without surgery? Does a drug 
"access"
JC> the "electromagnetic field" without surgery? How about personal attitude?
JC> Stress? There may be lots of things that "access" (or alter) that
JC> "electromagnetic field" that nobody knows anything about.
The Russians may or may not have gotten that far.  They were into a lot
of psychic research in the 1940's and 1950's when this nation was still
saying that it didn't exist.
JC> JK> Or, if the University of Washington Medical School is still having 
he
JC> JK> Medicine Wheel conferences once a year, you too can sit and listen to
JC> JK> an old Indian man with long braids talk to the white eyes in the
JC> JK> audience, some of whom are prestigious medical folks.
JC> Does this old Indian man have a name? James Selam, perhaps?
I don't remember names very well, but I do remember the eyes of that
man.
