"The dissatisfaction of the masses is not based on economic deprivation but on a sense of
ineffectuality. Not an increased standard of living, but more social power, is their
fundamental goal. Because of their emotional orientation, they arise and act when a powerful leader-figure can coordinate them into a functioning unit rather than a chaotic mass of unformed elements." - Philip K. Dick, Vulcan’s Hammer (1956)
Have you not wondered what will become of humans in the future? No better place than SciFi to ponder the possibilities.

Perfect timing this morning. I step outside at 4:45 AM thinking there might be too much city light to catch the spectacular Perseids but look up anyway. Proven wrong within minutes, a bright flash streaks white sparks across the sky! Brilliant! Great wake up call.
Possible explanation: Perseids this year are considered an "outburst." That term is used to describe a meteor shower that has more meteors than usual. As was the case 7 years ago. Source Link: CNN

Coolest Dog story of the week: Flight Attendant adopts Dog who never gave up. Work took her from Germany (home) to Argentina. Over a period of months, he showed up at the hotel where she stayed. She even made arrangements for him to be adopted but he ran off and, once again, parked outside her hotel. Now he's home-sweet-home. The Dodo Link
Tremendous and powerful stories of healing (miracles, some would say) are documented in The Touch.
Doug Heyes (website) offers a Disclaimer saying he claims no "credit" and prefers
to offer the events and results as a progress report on his own
*evolution. In our interview he relates how the recipient also plays a
part in the outcome.
Doug Heyes (video) says The Touchis a guide for dedicated spiritual travelers. (Paraphrasing here from Page 11.) Basic methods and principles are simple and can be learned and practiced immediately. He further states in no way does simple and basic imply the process is easy or that the book is a manual for beginners. In a comparison to chess he says there is a learning curve where one can learn the moves in an hour and spend a lifetime mastering the game. Game on!
Keep up with the schedule for announcements on the tour: "Awaken Your Inner Healer" workshops. Idea: Request a date for Kansas City.

One of the most revealing statements in the book. Doug is in recovery mulling a few things over in the garden and wondering about all that has transpired. He thinks about the healing that was done on him that day on the mountain and, in his words, asks God, "If it's possible for a group of guys to put their hands on me and transmit this kind of healing energy, why couldn't I do that for someone else?"
Doug says he heard God reply: "What makes you think you can't?"
*As witness to the events and stories Doug shares - in whatever form - I believe all are included as evolving humans.
