i lie down, put headphones on and play a metamusic cd (with hemi-sync from the monroe institute)..
if i want maximum expansion i listen to "the extended self" (also from the monroe institute) this gets me very relaxed and gives a feeling of being all over the place....
that`s all the expansion i need.
:D

the online community replaces the real life community for all those who haven`t got the time for a real life community..all those working full time with family/kids and all sorts of other things that need to be taken care of keeping  em permanently busy.....but as communication online is  a lot slower than in real life (lacking the spoken word and body language)...the danger is that we might end up only pushing buttons on the keyboard instead of actually going out there and making a difference.
. but hey! , it is nice to be here....and it is like medicine for those who haven`t got any friends in real life...be it due to lack of time and too much work or because of shyness, fear,distrust, etc....
as almost everything in the world wide web...the online community has no borders...it is just so international...i like that.
 

helping others, while becoming what one wants to be..very gratifying!
donating to earthquake victims in china, greeenpeace, etc..
