“Is a car not made out of the same atoms you are?” Adano Ley (Swami Nitty-Gritty) replied with a counter-question.

The left front quadrant of a car relates to traumas with a male, and the right front quadrant to traumas with a female.

It reverses in the rear — female traumas are on the left, and male traumas are on the right.

Adano explained how our physical possessions often act as “shunts” to protect our physical body.

According to him, it was “more practical” to break something you own than one of your bones.

Ray Peat “Stem cells, cell culture, and culture: Issues in regeneration,” 2007) wrote …

“To draw global conclusions about an organism’s development and aging from the degenerative processes seen in a single type of cell, grown in isolation from all normal stimuli, would have been treated as nothing but wild speculation, except that it occurred within a culture that needed it. No aspect of Hayflick’s cell culture system could properly be called physiological.”

Note the phrase, “it occurred within a culture that needed it.”

So my collection needed to be categorized. That’s why I kept an ongoing list.

In high school, we were given a test to determine what profession we were suited for (instead of what profession was suitable for us?).

The teacher approached me in private (as if I had a social disease), informing me I was the only student with an undetermined profession.

He told me not to worry; I would eventually know what my calling was.

I acted concerned, but inside I was jumping for joy.
