Education

Another great mind stimulating class yesterday afternoon. How do I sum up a 3 hour class...our teacher opened with a prayer song which he played on his harmonica, it was very sweet. I think it may be easier to list a few interesting thoughts to think about.
1.Life is a miracle.
2.Science is inadequate to measure the power of 'prayer'.
3.Often scientific discoveries come through one's imagination.
4.We talked about the placebo effect which is a treatment used as a control in a clinical scientific experiment. If you expect to be helped by a medicine or treatment you probably will, which is the body-mind medicine. "The placebo effect is so huge-between 35 and 75 percent of patients benefit from taking dummy pills in studies of new drugs..."(The New York Times 1/9/2000)

Again our teacher talks about science and the connection with the 'spiritual'.

I ended my day with delicious cracked crab from Cooks fish market!
