| Dear Dreamers:
I hope this finds you well and dreaming abundantly!
Be sure to check out the link to the left for more info about Star Edwards' upcoming workshop, "Healing the Dying with Dreams and Active Imagination." Message from Star: "I am very passionate about this work and thrilled to share this with you!" Star has been working with dreams for the past 25 years and is one of the most creative and inspiring people I know! (click on her photo in the sidebar to the left for a PDF document with more details about the workshop)
Also, check out the other link to learn more about the Nikken Pi Mag Gravity water system. We all know the environmental impact that plastic water bottles are creating in our world, not to mention the detrimental health affects of the chemicals that leach into the bottled water and the dangerous residues of pesticides, traces of prescription drugs and the array of chemicals that show up in our tap water. The Nikken Pi Mag water system is more than a water purifier though; it turns ordinary tap water into "living water" giving it healing properties far beyond even the most expensive bottled mineral water. My family and I, as well as many of my friends, have been drinking the Nikken Pi Mag water for months and we're all feeling more hydrated, refreshed and revitalized! To learn more about how you can inexpensively convert your regular tap water into vibrant, healing, great-tasting water for less than the cost of purchasing bottled water, click on the image on the left to view the brochure or click here to email me for more info.
Also, in this issue:

Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain
by David Eagleman | |
 | | Click on Image to Order |
Fascinating read!
Although I was disappointed to hear the author's views on dreams as "random neural activity that we stitch together every night as a story,*" I still recommend this book as an intriguing and stimulating look at what goes on in the inner workings of our brains and how this challenges our concept of "reality."
If you end up reading it, let me know what you think!
"Original and provocative...Incognito is a smart, captivating book that will give you a prefrontal workout." -Nature
"A stunning exploration of the 'we' behind the 'I'. Eagleman reveals, with his typical grace and eloquence, all the neural magic tricks behind the cognitive illusion we call reality." -Jonah Lehrer, author of How We Decide
"Written in clear, precise language, the book is sure to appeal to readers with an interest in psychology and the human mind, but it will also please people who just want to know, with a little more clarity, what is going on inside their own skulls." -Booklist
Book Description:
If the conscious mind-the part you consider to be you-is just the tip of the iceberg, what is the rest doing?
In this sparkling and provocative new book, the renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman navigates the depths of the subconscious brain to illuminate surprising mysteries: Why can your foot move halfway to the brake pedal before you become consciously aware of danger ahead? Why do you hear your name being mentioned in a conversation that you didn't think you were listening to? What do Ulysses and the credit crunch have in common? Why did Thomas Edison electrocute an elephant in 1916? Why are people whose names begin with J more likely to marry other people whose names begin with J? Why is it so difficult to keep a secret? And how is it possible to get angry at yourself-who, exactly, is mad at whom?
Taking in brain damage, plane spotting, dating, drugs, beauty, infidelity, synesthesia, criminal law, artificial intelligence, and visual illusions, Incognito is a thrilling subsurface exploration of the mind and all its contradictions.
*interestingly enough , however, he seems to be simultaneously dismissive of dreams as "random brain acitivity" while at the same time in awe of the sponteaneous creativty and depth that can come out of our dreams, hmmm....

Shocking True Story
"Burzynski, the Movie - Cancer is Serious Business"
This is the unbelievable, heart-wrenching story of a doctor who has had tremendous, verifiable success with treating the most aggressive forms of cancer, only to be stone-walled by the FDA and Amercian Cancer Society with endless red-tape and constant litigation. The emotional testimonies of the past patients and the parents of recovering and terminally ill children is at times heart-breaking and at other times triumphant.
This is a film that everyone should watch as all of us have been touched by the tragedy of cancer at some point in our lives and Dr. Burzynski's heroic journey gives us all hope for the future.
Click here to watch a free preview
Description: Burzynski is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food & Drug Administration in American history. His victorious battles with the United States government were centered on Dr. Burzynski's belief in and commitment to his gene-targeted cancer medicines he discovered in the 1970's called Antineoplastons, which have currently completed Phase II FDA-supervised clinical trials in 2009 and could begin the final phase of testing in 2011-barring the ability to raise the $25 million to fund the first one. When Antineoplastons are approved, it will mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, will hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting, life-saving medical breakthrough. Antineoplastons are responsible for curing some of the most incurable forms of terminal cancer. Various cancer survivors are presented in the film that chose his treatment instead of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation - with full disclosure of original medical records to support their diagnosis and recovery. One form of cancer - "diffuse, intrinsic, childhood brainstem glioma" has never before been cured in any experimental clinical trial in the history of medicine. Antineoplastons hold the first cures in history - dozens of them. Burzynski takes the audience through the treacherous, yet victorious, 14-year journey both Dr. Burzynski and his patients have had to endure in order to obtain FDA-approved clinical trials of Antineoplastons. However, what was revealed a few years after Dr. Burzynski won his freedom, helps to paint a more coherent picture regarding the true motivation of the U.S. government's relentless prosecution of Stanislaw Burzysnki, M.D., Ph.D.

Time: 9:08

 | | lucid dream |
Listen to a discussion about different levels of lucidity that we can experience in our dreams and what that might mean:
- Does becoming lucid* in our dreams help us to transcend illusion?
- What are the different levels of lucidity?
- Do we become lucid in our dreams in order to expand our consciousness?
(*lucid; when we become aware in a dream that we are dreaming)

In the meantime, wishing you sweet dreams!
