RE:

The Force Vital:

This morning in class we stretched. With the feet firmly on the

ground and we bend back in a smooth arch until it vibrates in the

middle of your body. This is called charging.

Then a few deep

breaths emptying the bottom of the lungs. Let the head hang down

- this is the discharge. Life is and energy field and we need to

be grounded and aligned, we find our center of our being, we then

begin to pay attention. Toning is nice, ancient chants are back.

Then I played Yoga Shalom's - Love - the light and the vital

force.

They liked it. Everyone became calmer and more focused.

The rest of the class (on social studies) went great. It seem

obvious that first we must pay attention.

Then we can focus on

the task at hand.

There is so much noise.

Jane Healy write in Endangered Minds (1990) that habits and

experience when young effect in very basic ways the structure of

the brain. Edward O. Wilson in Social-biology describes as groves

-pathways - which have evolved in structure of brain of our

species. Reason, logic and language are connected. TV may

scramble the neurology.

The ability to follow a thought a set of

steps or activities with a clearly perceived or imaged goal

requires some brain structure. English and science teaches seem

to notice the problems with rational thought.

There has been a

cult explosion - psychics, sorcerers, UFO,s, strange conspiracies

(Mr. Foster killed himself) - reminds me of the History of the

Seneca - When the European invasion caused death and destruction

of their culture - the old system no longer protected them -

their was a outbreak of Ghost Cults - Westerner thought that

Indians were weird. What they saw was a great and historic

culture in distress. Schools need to have structured practice at

mind management as they do in sports.
