The Spinning Exercise
A while back Larry posted a video on some exercises that are supposed to restore a person to his youth. Here is the reference: LINK
The theory is that the exercises stimulate the spin of the centers which slow down with age. The idea is that when we obtain the spin we had in our youth that we will grow younger.
It sounded pretty good so I decided to give it a try. You start with three repetitions and increase three a week until you get to the twenty-one.
I’ve finally got to the 21 repetitions so I thought I would give this a report.
I’m not sure if I am growing younger yet but 21 repetitions of the five exercises really gives you a workout where you need it and works a variety of muscles, especially the abdominal area.
I used to do yoga regularly many years ago but quit when I got too busy. I wish now I hadn’t because any yoga type exercises are good for you.
To the five exercises I have added my favorite yoga one which I am glad I have not lost the ability to do. This is the headstand. It’s fairly easy to do the wrong way where you put pressure on your head. This is an example of the wrong way: LINK
You can damage your neck if you stand directly on your head.
Here is a video of a guy doing it the right way: LINK
This guy does the exercise right in that he places his head in his arms and they take all the impact. Using this method one can do a headstand on a cement floor without harm.
This takes a little practice to achieve but it is exhilarating when you do and supplies good nourishment to the brain cells.
An evil in the eye of the government
Back in the Seventies about a dozen of us got the bug Giardia in the small town of New Plymouth, Idaho. Health officials became alarmed and investigated. They visited me and asked me if I drank raw milk. I answered yes. Then they asked me where I bought it. I told them but also told them that I was sure I didn’t get the bug from there. I told them that right after I drank some raw apple cider from a local plant that I was affected and thought that was the cause, for the plant added water to the cider and the water may be contaminated.
They ignored this and went after the farmer and shut him down. They didn’t go after the apple cider plant for two reasons. First, they had an obvious bias against raw milk and second the owner of the cider plant was a powerful politician and they didn’t want to touch him.
I was further annoyed by the officials when I did my own survey and everyone I talked to that got the bug drank the apple cider but only a couple drank the raw milk.
The Red Cover
I don’t think I ever told the group why I chose red as the dominate color for my books. I first started playing with writing around the age of 16 and I gave a couple things to a good friend to read. Then one day he comes to my place all excited and told me he had a dream about me that seemed very real and significant. He said that in the dream I had written a book that became a blockbuster seller and everyone was talking about it.
I asked him if he saw the title or what it was about.
He said he couldn’t recall the title but did remember it had a bright red cover.
I don’t know if there is anything to his dream but have used the idea of a red cover and plan to keep red prominent in future books.
Question: How do you tell if a person is mentally polarized?
There are many people who think they are smart who may fool others into thinking they are mentally polarized when they are in a lot of glamor and very emotionally polarized. The true mentally polarized person has mostly mastered the emotions and does not deny or suppress.
A good test to determine if a person is mentally polarized is to strongly disagree with him – telling him his views are nonsense – or even insult him. If you see a lashing out or signs of a grievance then he is not mentally polarized.
Question: What do you think of Sharón’s statement that Judas did not betray Jesus but a guy with a similar name did?
JJ: Variations on the idea that the disciple Judas did not betray Christ has been around since the days of early Christianity.
I believe the betrayal as portrayed in the gospels is fairly accurate. This is also supported in the Gospel of the Nazirenes, believed to be the earliest gospel, and the Aquarian Gospel.
I am not infallible so there is nothing wrong with members having another opinion.
