Contemplation (New Book by Dr. David Allen MD)

Contemplation: Intimacy In A Distant World


From the Author Dr. David F. Allen: "A book that goes beyond the search for the heart and the shattering of our resistances to love and encourages us to LIVE from the heart - moving from our false selves and opening our true selves in and to God. Even with our modern telecommunications revolution and email, we say less and have become even less intimate with those around us. Part 1 of this book discusses the relationship between contemplation, spirituality and intimacy. Part 2 revisits these themes in scripture with Abraham, David, Mary Magdelene, Ruth and Naomi."

I really like the way Dr. Allen writes, he was my Doc about 15 years ago when I had some real problems with depression, he was a wonderfull MD and persson as well. I cant wait to read this book. He was also mentord by Heneri Nowin and Rolow May to get the book you can click the above link.

Its nice that we in the USA can have technology to help us and even make life better. Now what I mean is that if your miserable tech is not going to make you alive or happy, but for those of us who like to communicate or listing to music, the internet has made connecting and sharing so easy. I really like going to iTunes spending a couple bucks and getting some new tunes for the iPod. I purchased some Pat Methany last night. I did not have to drive out of the house or anything just log on and pick the songs and bam they are there and then I sync them with my iPod. Thanks Apple for making great stuff for us.

Lady Charlene (I mean Mam) Your awesome

Well yesterday my friend Charlene and I were talking and somehow we got on to the subject of wine, somehow we always do. Well I told her that Kathy (my fiance) is getting all this cool house stuff but I just wanted stuff from guitar center or wine stuff. Well today she shared with some friends at Siemens in Sunnyvale CA and they were moved to buy some nice Cab glasses from Crate and barrel (Thanks so very much to you) well one of her friends bought two glasses and then another bought two, I have never meet these folks and what a nice suprize on the way in to work at PH, Charlene told me that her friends at work purchased the glasses and it just made me feel special. Its been a hard few weeks in the ER (Emergency Room)and PH (Princeton House) and this was just a very nice reminder that people do like to do nice things for others and it really made me feel special. O Charlene feel free to tell your friends about the nice music equipment that I like to. Thanks to all of you again. V

Cool Sight for Ring Tones

This sight wolfram.com was a sight that Ottmar Liebert commitmented on his blog and I checked it out and downloaded a few tones for my Treo 650 and it is pretty easy. Check it out. Hear is a clip from the web page and some info: About WolframTones


When prominent scientist Stephen Wolfram published A New Kind of Science in 2002, it was immediately hailed as a major intellectual landmark. Today the paradigm shift that Wolfram's work initiated is starting revolutions in a remarkable range of areas of science, technology--and the arts. WolframTones is an experiment in applying Wolfram's discoveries to the creation of music.

At the core of A New Kind of Science is the idea of exploring a new abstract universe: a "computational universe" of simple programs. In A New Kind of Science, Wolfram shows how remarkably simple programs in his "computational universe" capture the essence of the complexity--and beauty--of many systems in nature.

WolframTones works by taking simple programs from Wolfram's computational universe, and using music theory and Mathematica algorithms to render them as music. Each program in effect defines a virtual world, with its own special story--and WolframTones captures it as a musical composition.

It's all original music--fresh from "mining" Wolfram's computational universe. Sometimes it's reminiscent of familiar musical styles; sometimes it's like nothing ever heard before. But from just the tiniest corner of the computational universe WolframTones can make everyone on Earth their own unique cellphone ringtone. It's a taste of what it's like to explore the computational universe--and a hint what's to come...

Well Things are Moving Along (Where do we find Love)

Well things are moving along with the wedding plans, Kat has been great and very patient with this old man who still wants to be a guitar player professionally. Well with all my fears and brokeness she is still patient with me and its a very loving place to be. I find that in our relationship we are ever growing and ever evolving into more loving people even when we blow it its a chance for the other person to show love, and I give kathy many chances at showing love. I wonder what life would be like if people who blew it were shown love and compassion on their poor choices or circumstances, I think this kind of love may not just be something that one can conjure up themselves. I think its a love that can be show by us humans but we must get this love from something bigger than ourselves. I think this is where the true teachings found in the Bible can come alive, Jesus Christ showed this kind of love with the woman at the well, the thief on the cross, the tax collector. Well I know I am far from loving the way Christ loved but what else is there to really live for? Money, Sex Power, Food, Wine while all of those things in there right place can be awesome they themselves dont bring life (they do feel good) but there is an emptiness in those things with out true relationship and love. I believe that we must Love God and Others and that is where we will become alive. Our lives may be the time spent to clean out what gets in the way. To live is to give to others what we really do have and not what we don’t. Where are you getting what you give and what do you give when you do give? Well there’s my thought for the day.
