The Illusion of Free Markets

I see comments from so many young people about how to vote, these people can not possibly understand the market, where do they get the information that makes them so positive about what to do, how to vote..??? Guess where it comes from.  Here is a book that begins to explain the convoluted rules, regulations, and complications of markets.

 Even adults, who are not business oriented, or who have no idea of the regulations and problems of a business....and those that have little knowledge of what happens in an economy or what happens to a business, as a result of over regulation, unfair regulation etc., etc., need help, including me.   I would like to suggest that if anyone is really interested in taking sides, on how to approach and solve the problems of the free market, and our economy that they read a book like this.  There are so many hidden variables, like planning boards who have no idea of how to plan, tax authorities who up taxes on your property when the values go down, ( maybe you understand that one)
and governments that do not lay off in the departments where the volume has diminished, because they are friends with the employees, etc....and of course remember your friend Joe, he is retiring in 3 years, so you need to raise his rank or position so he retires at the highest salary....it goes on and on....

 Teachers who are unionized and working with the union mantra, spreading it to our children,  yep, that is where they understand how to vote at 16 years old.....!!!!( thanks to which President, bet you do not know which President paid the unions back by letting them unionize the government, teachers, transportation ,etc...)
Is it a free country, when the teachers are unionized, how can it be?

  If you have any idea of how the Mafia operated , think about it, and think about what a legalized Mafia would be doing, acting like, etc.   Right now the sitting President, as one of his first actions, removed the legislation in March aprox 9 weeks in office, that required the Unions to report their income and expenses, as all non profits are suppose to do....Why would he have done that?

Continue to be hoodwinked....or really think about it, and learn.  It is complicated, but there are some simple things you can think about.  Should convicts vote?  Should people who do not pay taxes vote?  Think about it, what is fair?  Would you pay someone who lived next door because they voted for you to pay them ?  It is simple, but.....complicated, my own idea is to reduce all questions to a personal level.  It is easier to come to conclusions.

Welfare as we know it has to change.  People will object, but it is not set up to nurture the children.  Just watch Lock Up on Tv and you will see and hear the results of our welfare system.  Prisoners are multiplying too fast.  I have thoughts on how to improve our system, maybe you do too!

Quantitative Easing Explained

I needed to understand quatitative easing and my friend gave me this method of learning about the economic cycle from another point of view.  Before you take sides, it is a complicated problem and requires lots of thought.  If you are a young person, learning from a professor's point of view, you still have a distance to go to understand the machinations of the economy, so think, learn and oberve

Google Tablet Computer Running Chrome OS Coming in NovemberPosted by jun auza On 8/19/2010

Google Tablet Computer Running Chrome OS Coming in November: Exciting news, or plain rumor? According to several sources, Google is set to release a tablet computer that will run Chrome OS, an open-source, Linux-based operating system that focuses on running web applications. The device is being manufactured by HTC Corporation, the same company that built the Nexus One. The Google tablet computer is said to be released on November 26, 2010 (Black Friday), and it be will be under Verizon contract.

It is worth noting that Google posted some prototype images of a tablet computer running Chrome OS (see below). I'm guessing the design of the Google tablet will closely resemble that of the prototype that they were showing.
As for the hardware specifications, the rumored Google tablet PC will have a multi-touch display capable of 1280 x 720 resolution. It will offer a minimum of 32GB SSD storage, which may be expandable using a multi-card reader. The device is expected to be powered by a Tegra 2 processor that has dual ARM Cortex-A9 cores clocked to 1GHz, and it will be loaded with 2GB of RAM. That is some powerful specs I should say.


Some of the other possible features of Chrome OS tablet computer include WiFi, Bluetooth, LTE, GPS, and webcam. A mini-DVI or if possible an HDMI port would be a nice addition.

The Google tablet computer could easily beat the Apple iPad in terms of overall features and may come at an affordable price. So I'm definitely getting it once available instead of the overpriced and locked down iPad.

Paul McCartney and Wings, Maybe I'm Amazed

Most people love the Beatles, and this is probably one of the best songs ever written, nice to know about the great songs of the past, there are so many.

The Best Love Songs of the 40s

Meggie in "Secrets of the Heart ," remembers these songs of the Great War, when our able bodied men left to go to war.  It was a sad time in America!  Let's remember this forever, let's remember the culture that got behind the men that left, to keep our country safe, and  bomb free!.  They always knew we supported them, we went to work in parachute factories, our car manufacturers switched to making tanks.  Rubber, meat and other commodities were needed by the war effort, food stamps rationed us, while practice air raids scared us!   Some of you may remember wrapping bandages to send to the front!  Come with Meggie into the war years in the small town of Framingham, Mass.  Learn what children thought of the war, and how it affected them as they grew to adults.  A timeless look at a period of time in America that is lost forever in the mists of the past.

Framingham Mass. prominent in my book Secrets of the Heart Madlyn Fafard

It was time to write a book after years of dreaming that someday, I would in fact be a college professor, and an author.  It never came to be, but now all of a sudden, one book came to me, as I learned and dreamed of the worlds we can not see.  It is a helpful look at how to handle life, and death, for those that are in despair.

It makes a great Christmas present for someone who grew up in the late 40's early 50's, a look at small town life, the emotions of war, and how children were affected are all there.  Then with the grown up view of life and death, one find's hope in what is yet to come.

My second book is on it's way, again, it will be a glimpse into the unseen world, pocketed wtih miracles, premonition and re-incarnation.

Bed Bug protection!

Protection is the best advice, once you get them in the house, it is terrible.  Only 120 degree steam heat kills them, so professional help is needed, and they can be any where , in your rugs, furniture, behind pictures etc.
The advice on line is to cover mattress and box sping with hypo allergenic covers with zippers and cover your pillows with the same material.  Also if you go in a hotel room, keep your clothes on hangars away from the bed and furniture, and put your luggage in the laundry bag to prevent bugs from getting in the luggage... maybe best to bring hanging bags that crunch down to fit in the laundry bags...

Before you buy, measure the width of your mattress, most covers are 12 inches in width, many of the new matttresses are wider than that.   So, get the measurements and order the correct size on line for all your needs..

Scerets of the Heart

One of my fan letters follows, please be sure you do not read it as an autobiography or you will be confused by the events.  It is the story of Meggie a small town American girl, like many of you, who dreams and envisions the events of the past, as she lies dying, even wandering into the scene of another life in her visions.

Dear Madlyn,


We had no idea what your book would hold But we find it fun and

reflective. Every night I try to read a chapter or so to Deborah and we

think back to our childhoods. We are up to chapter four now and I like the

long gone references to things of Framingham and the area, the first dates

and the night time cellar door entrances guarded by your Mom. The sad loss

of your Dad to smoking and Aunt Mary dancing in the kitchen. The hurricane

of "38" I think, not "39", and the stormed removal of a threatening tree,

the fear you felt as you pressed your nose to the glass during the furry.

The 50's and the guys dressed in T shirts and jeans, and the girls is

petticoats and dresses. The town hot rodders and the cars. Thanks good

stuff, we feel as though we are living a small part of your life.

Extra sensory perception, The Etheric Double by A.E. Powell

This book came to my attention a number of years ago, when I was learning about Annie Besant and the Theosophical Society.  Through using extra sensory perception, many  discovered the etheric double.  Not everyone can see this phenomena, and it  is not easy to tell why.  There are some people you can work with who will readily see it when instructed on how to do it.  There is a machine now invented by the Russians that can see the aura, which is different.  The etheric double is visible in a vapor like form, standing next to the human being, in outline.


My book, Secrets of the Heart,Madlyn Fafard, draws you into the unseen world, with extra sensory perception, miracles, re-incarnation, and eternal love.   Meggie the character in the book, hears the song, "Garden in the Rain", in her head, as she begins her journey into the teenage world and the beginning of her long life, tinged with all the events that anyone could want if they desired to see into the unknown world. Little does Meggie know the miracles that will frame her life, or that a long lost love will be eternal.

King Arthur Flour have fun over holidays baking at home

Wow, do I love King Arthur flour, I just noticed an ad on my blog, with a big delicious cupcake.  I love to bake, always have, so I started getting orders from this company.

The baked buttermilk donuts are wonderful .  I ordered two baking pans, and a couple of prepared mixes for donuts.  Then , the lemon ginger scones, yummy!

Try it if you like to bake, you will love the products.  I just got a new bread machine from them, and it makes the loaf sideways, which I prefer.  It is easier to get out of the baking pan, also.

Don't forget to sprinkle in your baking some flaxseed or add a little flaxsee meal to your flour....

Book clubs my book a good choice, Secrets of the Heart Madlyn Fafard

If you want me to attend your book club meeting after you have read the book, I will be happy to do it on line, if we can arrange it.  There are so many layers of meaning in the book that it will be interesting to discuss with the author. Thank you for your consideration of my book for your club reading.

A man of Good Will, and common sense, Paul Von Ward

Paul Von Ward


The current U.S. situation weighs heavily on my mind. With our nation's economic difficulties (including the Herculean challenge of avoiding a national bankruptcy), political deadlocks at many levels, and questions about the integrity of major institutions, I believe everyone, regardless of profession or job, should apply some intelle...ct and social skills to the solutions.



Many of you know me for my interdisciplinary, historical/scientific/spiritual books and articles over the past 15 years. But only some know about my first book (Dismantling the Pyramid: Government by the People — now out of print) and have asked if it's still relevant. Its roots lie in my Vietnam-era U.S. Navy service and years in the U.S. Foreign Service and in Washington (A PDF version is available from the book orders page at the link below)



I have just written an abbreviated story of how that book came about and why many of its conclusions are still relevant today. I include the personal part of the story not because I'm proud of it (in fact, I failed to use for the common good many of the opportunities I had), but because I believe all of us gain insights along the way that can be useful later on. Go to my website blog link below for the rest of the story.....See More

Sam cooke - Only sixteen

She was only 16....need I say more...?? Life doors begin to open and the journey begins

Heartsick, depressed, know some very ill person?

"Secrets of the Heart,"explores the deep heartsick moments of life, but it is one of the most uplifting books you can read when you are down and deep.  Think of the new science as you read it,  think about the miracles, the premonition, the eternal love. 

Maybe they are all true? Help somone that is struggling with life, by giving them this book to read.  It is a struggle to overcome the hardships of life, but Meggie did it, and won in the end.

Earl Bostic - Flamingo played at fabulous Storyland jazz club Boston

Earl Bostic and magical Storyland, a jazz club where Meggie (Secrets of the Heart) went to dance to the wonderful saxophone led band, come with Meggie, back to the 50's and into the sadness and joy of a full life, that brings hope to everyone in the end.

Billy May - Perfidia - (Audiofoto).wmv

Gotcha!  Try and find the albums!  If you have one in your collection as I do you are lucky.  Remember the Totem Pole, at Norumbega Park, Newton.....we teens had it all in the 50's if you lived in the Boston area!

The Guess Who - Clap For The Wolfman (1974) Tribute to: "Wolfman Jack"

It's a dark night here in New England at 6:02 pm and time for the Wolfman, back to the 50's with the King of the Midnight hour....great music...entertained us from his radio station... Imagine you can still buy RECORDS....

Stephane Grapelli - As time goes by (Casablanca)

It is not fair to just dream with Django, and not mention Stephane, they are like the cake and the icing!  We all fell in love with this song,  tears came to our eyes, as the story played out before us.  Surprise, I just saw Teresa Brewer with Stephane, I will check it out and post it, if I like it.. Oh oh,.can't find it anywhere, should have listened then...

Django Reinhardt - J'attendrai Swing 1939

One has to listen to this gorgeous music over and over again, thru time and place.  It travels through the stars with us, out into forever and back.  Love it!

Bioshock 2 Soundtrack - 18 - Django Reinhardt;Stéphane Grappelli - La Me...

The grey afternoon, brings this song to mind, it is bitter sweet and expresses a longing for what we are searching for, that lies beyond the sea. In the game Bioshock, the city under the sea was lost, have you finished the game, to know if it was ever found again.?

Bunny Berigan - I Can't Get Started, Jazz 78

I

In," Secrets of the Heart," Meggie meets Bunny Berrigan at a teenage house party in the early 1950's, that is she meets this recording. Everyone did a dance we called the Jitter Bug. The record dates from 1937, but was still alive in the 50's as a great jazz song.  The song quality is not the greatest, but, buy it if you are a collector, it might be hard to find in the future.

Redbone - Come And Get Your Love - The Midnight Special 1974

Jump ahead almost 40 years, wonderful song, full of rhythm, upbeat, and I liked the Indian dance introduction.  In Ashland, Mass., we have created Village of America, that tells a small story in names of the birth of the United States.
Starting with the Village of the Explorers, then Mayflower, Independence, and next is Constitution Village, followed by Louisiana Purchase.  The town square gazebo is going to be called 6 Nations, after the wonderful Indian Treaty that helped guide our magnificent Constitution.

LEARNING CENTERS

Spread the Good Will, are the words that we have been entrusted with.  Does it mean religion?  Or does it mean, help each other, do what is right and best?  Spread the Good Will, think about it, your eyes will open to a new world of happy feelings, smiles and knowing you are doing what is right. 

We don't need teachers for this, we just need to observe what we are doing as a society, that we think is liberal and kind, then come to the realization...... we are making a society dependent on Government.  From the beginning of time we have learned by example, apprenticing, and from training at the bottom and heading  up.  It is not sufficient to give help in the form of apartment, food stamps and a monthly check, this is a pay off to get rid of the problems.

We need to think in light of LEARNING CENTERS, that house needy families , while offering safe haven, training, child nurturing, and other services needed to get back into society.  This is true help!

The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Fantasia 1940

When I was a school teacher, my favorite teaching reading subject for the early grades, was this movie of Mickey.  We would watch it and dream up our own stories in the fantasy world of magic and dreams, by illustrating with a written story.  The "little" ones loved it as much as I did.  You have to admit it has lots of charm

THE GAYLORDS - FLAMINGO L'AMORE

I'm Longin' For Love; Flamingo L'amoreI don't know if you can find this collection anywhere today, if you can, this group was funny, and entertaining.  The song is just wonderful and was a big hit in the 50's.

Frankie Laine - "Someday"

After the tears , it is time to wipe your eyes, and move on , be  up with music while in the back of your mind you think about all the waste in our system, we are the kindest people in the world, lets do it right!

A Boy Called It by David Pelzer

Studies are pointing to the importance of nutrients... I quote from the latest report...
"nutrients constitute the most long-lasting environmental influence on the human body from before birth until death, interacting with the genome and leading to different responses in individuals depending on their genetic background and other environmental factors. Therefore, nutrition scientists must make a concerted effort to include nutrition and lifestyle data in databases such as NCBI"
Welfare the concept and the outlook has to change, if you look at the growing prison population, read books like , "A Boy Named It," you will realize that  what we empower for families that need help is not working...

College settings are  a good example of how to help people that need help, set up learning centers where they will live. .  Learn something to get out of poverty, while protecting and nurturing the children in controlled healthy environments, and best of all ...it saves the taxpayers money, while saving lives of children who are destined for prison, if we keep going the way we are going.  I cried my eyes out when I read this book.  You will be glad to read his other books, because the ending was miraculous, when you consider what his life was like as a child.

FRANKIE LAINE DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME

This is one of the many songs that I mention in my book , Secrets of the Heart, as you travel with Meggie from the 40's thru the present.  You can imagine the fun we had dancing to this song!

ANDREA BOCELLI (HQ) SOLAMENTE UNA VEZ

In the 1940's lovers danced to this beautiful music, which Andrea has brought alive again with his wonderful voice. Mom would put a the record on and the house would come alive with music as Mom and Dad danced in the dining room to this song.  We learned to sing along with them as they sang and showed us their love for each other, and for our family.

ANDREA BOCELLI (HQ) AMAPOLA

Enjoy the desert, and the Colorado river, while listening to this song of the 1940's that has lived into the new generation.  Andrea is one of the great voices of our time.

Dreams, re-incarnation, visions

Exploring more locations on re-incarnation, I discovered this author who is very popular, has a site on Amazon and a large following on the subject of re-incarnation.
You can browse his books, and remember my book, Secrets of the Heart, if you read it I would appreciate a review on Amazon, and Barnes and Noble, Thanks.

True North, Kravets

Howard Kravets writes a war time adventure story . His account speaks of the horror of being the only one alive on a bomber, having to bail out and leave his buddies . The hero manages to live and fly again, only to be targeted and hit one more time, falling out of the sky and enduring escape. The hero lives to wreck his life as he fights his war time demons, that shake his reality at night while he recreates the horror of war in his dreams. Burying himself in an unfaithful affair he is caught between two worlds, his wife and family, or his paramour. The story is so true of the vets who came home wounded not only bodily, but mentally, with horrors they never would have had to endure if the war had not been put upon our shores.
Howard has done a magnificent job, on his first novel, it is a good read, and a great Christmas present for your father or grandfather , who might have fought in the 2nd world war. They keep their secrets in, so a book like this allows them to let it out, they were not alone.

Dreams, re-incarnation, visions

Secrets of the Heart is getting good reviews, enough to encourage me to continue with my next book.  Love, dreams, visions and re-incarnation are again the theme , hopefully the book will be ready for publication late next year.

Autonomous Articulated Robots: Finale (second half)

So if the psychic charge is with us for ever, we never forget, what happens when we make robots out of matter, they too are elecrtrons?  Can we insert our electrons into the robots and live forever, through constant replacement of our electrons in new robots?  Who would dream it would come to this?

This review is from: Secrets of the Heart (Paperback)

This is a wonderful quick-read that melds authentic history of the 30s to the present intertwined with personal stories that definitely touch the heart. I loved how Madlyn included music of the times with Meggie's recollection of her intimate experiences with her family and friends. I could relate to her joy and pain.


If you have lived during this time in the Metrowest region of MA (or I think any home town in the USA), you will undoubtedly be pleasantly surprised as your memory is returned to your own experiences. It's like being in a holygram (spelling?) with the music playing in the background. I felt such a surge of emotions with each story.
When you get to know "Meggie", you will feel like you've always known her.

This book made me reconnect with friends I had lost track of through the years and now my life is richer for it.

Buddha, mending the world

Buddha, mending the world,   It is absolutely the way to go toward the future.  Let Buddha mend the world.  If all the great religions find a way to incorporate the teachings of Buddha, radicalism should disappear from the world.  It  begins a positive direction, which is desperately needed. Your comments and ideas are appreciated, so we can spread the idea around the world and to the powers that be in each religion.

Father Francis Tiso: Christ In Buddha Nature: Two Worlds-One Heart - New Dimensions - Download Religion Audio

This is continuing the conversation about physics, biology, science, religion and now the rainbow body, as known by the Buddists. Father Tiso's tapes are astounding. It all fits together, the same thoughts coming from different directions., physics, biology,Catholicism, Judaism, Buddha.  I do not know of any other place you can buy the tapes by Father Tiso, at this time.  Once they were available from The Noetic Society.  However, get them while you can, they will open your eyes to the hidden worlds, that seem to be converging from all directions.  What if it is, all happening now?

Love, Seth, science, books, and thoughts to eternity

If you read my last post, on the two books that point to the cosmos as an instrument able to change biology, then...

The implications are that everything in biological creation can always be changing , that Christ could have existed as the son of God, that the Neanderthals, could have been a conscious decision by the cosmos or God, as you will ,to end as a species, that we were a deliberate creation, as is and are all the other creations of this planet and the solar system.

My book Secrets of the Heart, is an attempt to put into story form how we are reacting to our environment through different forms of love, challenging love, tormenting love, everlasting love,  miraculous love, premonitions , and more.  Many of my readers find themselves relating to the events in the book, most cry!  It is a way to open your heart to the events you have lived in your own life, and look back with love for what happened.  When it happened you might not have thought it was for love, but it is love that makes most of life happen.  Recklessness, is what erases the actions of love in our life, because recklessness interupts the journey we have as a group, and sends all of us astray as we try to cope.  Do you think that the devil, by nature has to be?  I often think that it does, because everything reacts in life by positive and negative charge, so without the devil, there would be no negative to love.

Reinventing The Sacred ,by Stuart A. Kauffman

In his book, "Reinventing the Sacred", by Stuart A. Kauffman, he says, that following Newton, a physicist would write down the equations for the biosphere and solve them, but this can not be done.  "We can not say ahead of time what functionalities will arise in the biosphere." (pg37) Kauffman goes on with illustrations to conclude that biology is both,epistemologically and ontologically emergent, by citing not only random cosmic rays, quantum events, and continuous space time as factors that inferfere with the ability to use physics to disclose the determinents of biology. 

 I am a humble  lay reader, who can not help but compare what I just read in , The Physics of Christianity, with what is being stated in this book.  Here, Kauffman is clearly stating that we can not use physics to determine biology, because of interference from cosmic rays, quantum events and  space time considerations. Tipler in,  The Physics of Christianity, is stating that physics can prove that Jesus is the son of God, since his claim is that the events could have  happened based on cosmic rays, quantum events and space time considerations.  For me this is a Wow!   Here are two scientists coming at us, biologically, from two different points of view, both saying the same thing.

Don't beat me up too hard, please, I am a tender young soul!

LinkedIn: Reading List by Amazon  When we wonder why bad things happen, when we have pain and suffering, we can only hope that there is something that can lift our spirits, temporarily.  Learning to think spiritually is important to lift yourself over the crushing problems that seem to appear before us.  This is a helpful approach to getting over the problems.  "What the Bleep!"

My book,"Secrets of the Heart", has been releasing lots of people from their demons, as they read, they think about their lives and how they relate to Meggie.  It is surprising that the character Meggie, who was a generation away, and maybe more for some readers, has lived through the same types of events, as the young women today.  Hope , love and understanding is where the reader finds his or her peace. so take the journey with Meggie in my book as she travels through time, greets her friends who have passed on, experiences miracles, and premonition and even learns of eternal love.

A most beautiful song: Ave Maria (Schubert) - Andrea Bocelli

  My favorite version of this song is by Andrea. What if we discover in our lifetime that the miracles of Christianity are as they were reported in the ancient documents, and as many people of the world believe? What would happen to our world? Whether you believe or not, this is a beautiful song that has to have a place in your heart, as great music!  What if in fact Tipler is on the right track, what if 2012 has some meaning and what if we are coming to some new beginning?  What if?

Albert Einstein Quotes: Famous Quotations on Religion, Science, War, Peace, Education, Morality, Philosophy of Physics

Albert Einstein Quotes: Famous Quotations on Religion, Science, War, Peace, Education, Morality, Philosophy of Physics

To follow what I just posted about time travel, even Einstein said that we would have to give up the idea of complete localization of the particle.
If this is possible, then why not the ideas of Frank Tipler, in "The Physics of Christianity"? God should be able to do anything he wants to do, and that includes materializing and dematerializing, through the multiverse. I have often thought that only photons of light could make the figure on The Shroud of Turin, and the same with the Orveido Linen, it is amazing that they have the DNA of Jesus, and now are looking at way to determine if there was a burst of light that dematerialized the body. Why not? Tipler touches on the electron being present through the multiverse, and I wonder about the re-incarnation of the electron, as it is being studied by Paul Von Ward.

Docudharma:: Einstein and How to Time Travel Into the Future

Docudharma:: Einstein and How to Time Travel Into the Future

In his book the," Physics of Christianity," Frank J. Tipler discusses, the multiverse and it's importance.
In that multiverse we exist in more than one place at a time, but we are forbidden to observe beyond
the place where we are in mortal bodies. ( In so many words,) On You Tube above, such is the discussion
that I bring you. "Stuff" to think about! The Wall Street Journal review of Tipler's book, " A dazzling exercise in scientific speculation as rigorously argued as it is bodly conceived." Yes, you will encounter physics, formulas, and the like, but keep reading, jump over them, get the gist of the book, if that is all you get, you will be thrilled at the ideas.

So Rare-Jimmy Dorsey-1957

This could have been me, in 1957, except that my baby was 2, and was soon to face a life time of trying to survive a Wilm's tumor, we fought a valiant battle.  She made it to her late 40's, we stuck together through thick and thin.

 The pictures here are really good, in giving you an idea of what it was like in 1957.  We thought it was great then, we had no idea of what was coming.  As I read about physics, I see that we have to keep going forward and making new discoveries, improving life, because it is part of our journey, as stated  by Frank J. Tipler, in ,"The Physics of Christianity,"  it makes sense, he uses the example of the computer improving on an average of every 18 months, and think about the cell phones improving at that rate!
"So Rare", is one of my all time favorite songs, Jimmy Dorsey is someone worth collecting, I think his records will be hard to find in the future.  He had other great hits, take a peek at this album. For those of us who grew up in the 50's, it was ...so rare!

The "Unknown" Reality, Jane Roberts

Jane Roberts stays with me, since I started reading her books about 20 years ago.  Her books are like a bible of information on the unknown reality.  Many of her channeled thoughts have proven true, over the years.
It was my hope that my small book on the life and loves of a dying woman, and her friends would open the world of "unknown" reality to those of us that prefer to gather information in story form.

In witing Secrets of the Heart, I used the knowledge I had gained from my close friend Barbara, to speak of other worlds, to communicate beyond this world, and to explain the premonition of 9/11, that came in phases over a period of 5 years.  The book tells of this magical world surrounded by the world of reality, culture and music of the period, in stories of sadness and joy.  Yet, in it you enter the world of the "unknown" reality.

Stephen Hawking and Frank Tippler

I come at this as a lay person, and like to envision all different ideas, because my personal belief is that all basic knowledge is intrinsic in us and will come out at some point.

Right now, I prefer the ideas of Frank J. Tipler in his book, The Physics of Christianity. The other personal thought that I carry is that all answers are before our eyes in nature.

When I was small, my mind was not clouded by civilization, and I remember walking to school , thinking ,"the trees drop their leaves in the fall as they age, and in the spring they produce new buds on the very same tree, is that what we humans also do?" I could not believe, even then, that there was no point to life, there had to be a reason for thinking , acting , participating, and now I know the answer is to learn to love.

That raises the next question, why are we learning lessons in love, if there is no creator? What would be the point of a creator, if the purpose was to learn anything but, love?

Salt, by Mark Kurlansky

This is one interesting book, based on the history of salt.  It is amazing how salt ruled the world, created taxes, and taxes created smuggling.  In an attempt to keep the cost of English salt high, the Indian saltworks had to be taxed by the British, and so on.

If you read the reviews , this is a great story, that weaves between China, France, Spain, to the Dead Sea, over to the new world, and on.  I was surprised at how salt became chemicals and ended up in gun powder for example.  Many of us who do not think chemistry on a daily basis, do not give a thought to the fact that salt deposits are often close to oil deposits.  We do not think about the fact that Salsomaggiore, Italy , where my father was born was on top of a major salt deposit, and that is the reason for the name...major salt.  On top of the salt mine there was a wheel that was worked by the humans who were chained by the neck , to the wheel. Men  walked on the wheel to make it move.  I wondered did my ancestors walk that wheel?  Did your ancestors work in the salt mines in the many countries discussed in this book as we travel the commerce of the world through this commodity.  What an interesting approach to trade, and how government intervention interferes with the free market.

 Salt fortunes were made and swallowed up by war, by governments, by uprisings, and as the discoveries of the different kinds of salt progressed, chemical reactions, and industry grew with new products, new means of preserving food etc.  It is a fun book to read, always keeping you interested in what is coming next.

As usual, the Waller family had a wonderful event planned for the Coaching Weekend.  We were rained out on Friday, but more than made up for it on Saturday and Sunday.  The coaches clopped along the main streets of Stockbridge and off to the grand estates of old.  We were hosted at the Lenox Club, for a black tie dinner on Saturday night, amongst other fabulous spots.  After Friday the weather was terrific for coaching, and fun for spectators and participants.
