Mind Expansion Practices (Oct 29 2003 12:57 GMT) - Bernard Wisser says some good stuff in relation to how you can "Stand still and look until you really see", about how to get beyond the habits that keep us stuck in seeing the world in old ways."Practices can be used not only to expand the mind but to shrink the ego and bringing into a proper proportion in influencing our behavior or curing it of its pathology. There seems to be an inverse relation between mind expansion and ego diminishment. There is also an intimate relationship between left brain activity and ego in their attempts to insure our survival. They are both very involved in the pre-perceptual and perceptual process. |

From the Emerald Isle to the South of France, Cheap (Oct 29 2003 12:56 GMT) - TCS: "For an airline so bereft of frills that the check-in crew is also the flight crew, Ireland's Ryanair flies full, carrying tens of thousands of repeat customers who, thanks to rock bottom fares, can afford breaks in France three or four times a year. It's possible to fly Ryanair from London to Perpignan in the far south of France -- some 500 miles -- one way for around $45. Tens of thousands of Brits and Irish have bought second homes in the poor but sunny and hot French region of Languedoc-Roussillon predicated on being able to afford Ryanair for vacations plus three or four long weekends a year. Ryanair's cheap fares, in fact, have made a considerable contribution to the economy of many French towns and cities. |
