Various Books

Regarding Dzogchen texts, there are two books I like a lot –
Longchenpa’s “You Are The Eyes Of The World” (Snow Lion Press,
translated by Lipman and Peterson) and “The Supreme Source: The
Fundamental Tantra of the Dzogchen Semde” by Kunjed Gyalpo
(Snow Lion Press, translated by Chogyal Namkhal Norbu and Adriano
Clemente).
I just finished two books – Lynne McTaggart’s (“The Field”) most
recent “The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your
Life and the World.” In my opinion, McTaggart is too commercial in
her approach to this stuff, but the results of various double-blind experiments that she reports -- about how positive thinking, healing
at a distance, etc., work -- are fascinating. “Intention” is a current
buzz word, what with ‘The Secret’ film, Wayne Dyer and other motivational types on Public TV.
The most recent book I read, “Science and the Akashic Field” by
Ervin Laszlo, is more profound, (Inner Traditions, 2004) and his
Integral Theory of Everything comes very close to my own thoughts.
Laszlo is a heavy-hitter in philosophy, systems theory and future studies. .

On another topic, I’m beginning to get some interesting responses from Thwizzler beta-testers, including this one posted on a Yahoo list:

I am writing this with hope that you will do yourself a
favor and contact Ramon to test drive a pair of his
Thwizzlers!I was amused when opening the package a couple
of weeks ago to find this amazing product inside. What a
great stress reliever!
I have experimented with his invention and have discovered
a marked decrease in my blood pressure even after only 5
minutes of use. I was very excited with this result as I
have a very high BP that has been hard to control.
I have also noted that this exercise improves relaxation/
pleasure sensitivity... I am certain that we can all use a
little more joy in our lives. Ramon's invention can help
you re-train those senses we have unfortunately been taught
to suppress.
My offer to mail a beta-test pair of Thwizzlers to anyone
in the continental USA for free is still open.
