TCC Pre-review -- Energy and Healing

We’ve heard so much lately about Healing and different kinds of Energy work. Just what is Energy and how can it heal?

Webster’s Dictionary describes Energy as “a vigorous exertion of power”; okay, but how does it work?
How Energy Works

If we go to Quantum Physics, we find that the concept of Energy gets to be quite complicated. Einstein showed us that E=MC , Energy equals Mass times the speed of Light squared. This tells us that Mass and Energy are interchangeable. And that both space and time are not absolute. The most important consequence of this is that Mass is nothing but a form of Energy. So, everything is a form of Energy, objects at rest have stored Energy. Trees, Rocks, Dogs, Water and People are all made up of Energy, in one form or another.

This means that Energy can exist as either solid matter or as non-solid matter, such as a beam of light. Radio waves, microwaves and X-rays are all forms of pure non-solid Energy.
Where Does Energy Come From?

Energy is all around us, everywhere in all different wavelengths and frequencies. From Energies with very short wavelengths like Cosmic Radiation and X-rays to very long wave lengths such as Radio waves and Infra Red waves.

Everyday our bodies are being hit with these Energies from many different sources. We don’t see it but we know it is there.

When we speak, our voice saying words has released sound waves of Energy causing ripples in the air around us. When we think, our brains release wavelengths of Energy.
Can Energy Be Measured?

To the Scientific community, Energy is something measurable with specific instruments to detect for example, heat, light, or cosmic radiation. The Energy used in Healing is equally real, with the measuring device being that exquisitely sensitive one, the human body. Our bodies are receiving stations for Energy and also transmitters of Energy.
About Our Multi-Body System

We are made up of a multi-body system, not just the physical body. We have an Etheric Body, an Emotional Body, a Mental Body and an Astral Body. Things don’t just affect us physically; we are affected on all levels. When we think thoughts, these non-solid forms of Energy go out into our multi system body and greatly affect us.
Healing Balances Energy

We all have storage centers in our bodies that store Energy and Energy patterns. They are called Chakras. We can have Energy Patterns stored from events that happened yesterday as well as from many years ago. Some of these patterns will be happy memories and some of them will be unpleasant and painful memories of something that happened to us. Sometimes we stash them away deep into some recess in our Chakras and in our Auras (the Energy field around us), and try to forget about them, but they don’t really go away. Dis-ease is a manifestation of unbalanced Energy. Healing, then is a way of balancing Energy.
Negative Forms of Energy

Throughout our lives we pick up negative forms of Energy, such as Fear, Doubt, Anger, Judgment, Criticism, Blame and others. Any techniques we find that enable us to let go of these patterns will help to move us toward peace and happiness.

There are many ways to balance your Energy. One approach is A: to become the most complete and loving being you can be. The loving Energy will naturally dissolve the parts of you that are keeping you unbalanced.

Another way of balancing your Energy is through B: 1.Recognition—recognizing the problem. 2. Surrender and Release—putting trust in the highest power, letting go of trying to control how your life will manifest. It is releasing how we think things should be, and knowing that he Divine Source will take control.

If you combine both paths of A: Love and B: the path of Release, you will have the fastest way possible to a balanced, healed state of being.

When a trained energyworker works with you to help balance your Energy, for many, the process of Healing is accelerated.

In the end, I would like to share a slide show from slidshare.com

Trauma and Energy Psychology

Attribute:	Not expecting anything in return and desiring the best for the other person	Caring about some thing or some person because of what it or he or she can give to us.
Definition:	Constellation of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness	Any intense desire or craving for self gratification including sex
Meaning:	A tender, passionate affection for another person.	Intense sexual desire
Interdependency:	Cannot be sustained without communication and some level of physical attraction.	Not connected with love
Feelings associated with:	a euphoric feeling	Focused Attention on sex
Sub-Categories:	Romantic Love, Attachment, Passion, intimacy, commitment	sexual desire
Associated with:	Emotionally and intellectually compatible	Physical chemistry

Be honest to yourself. Work harder and carry on.

I have just read a dairy of Christy, which give me a lot of inspiration and courage.  She is a really talented person, both from the strength of will and the creativeness of the mind. 

I , on the contrary, might be too willing to follow my own liberal spirit. 

I am still struggling between my major IT and my interest business and media. TCC training will begin on this Friday. I think I am open enough to accept it and put into effort to make courage work. The fist thing I would like to solve is my currently increasing weight. I thought it might because of I am too stressed from my school, and I did not do well in school because my language barrier. I love music, I love business, and I actually likes computing because its philosophical aspect. 

In UWCY2101 class today, we talked about the research paper we are going to work on in the next week. Obviously, my topic is to huge to go on, yet I find I have problem thinking of the small tiny issues. My brian could not process them..... 

I cut down my thesis into something related to alienable rights, and I found the article below. Amazing stuff. 

Hopefully after TCC I will know which trace I would like to pursue. Is it music, or IT. But apparently I like high-end things. I love luxury, sexy commercial as well as elegant, classic academic materials that make you fell so.... Nobel:) Well, well, well, before I could even say that, I think I had better work on my language and comprehension abilities more. And from that point onwards, we could work towards bigger plans.  

The world is a painting of your mind and you have the resource of intelligence inside. 

Here goes the fantastic article.

After read my post : Language, grammar, and sentence shows a lot of how a person work. I guarantee you my dear audience, I will learn more classical and  vintage expression to improve my writings.  
Rives, Eddie, deepak and min, more over NYT, HBR, yeah, there is quite a lot of resources. Back to TR3002 and calculus my dear.

ALIENABLE RIGHTS

(c)1992 Marvin Minsky, M.I.T.

Published in Discover Magazine, July 1993. Also reprinted in Android Epistemology,
edited by Kenneth M. Ford, Clark Glymour, and Patrick J. Hayes, MIT Press

Two interstellar aliens have come to assess the life-forms of Earth.
The human life-forms will be entitled to rights--if the aliens can
conclude that they think. Most such decisions are easy to make--
-- but this case is unusual.

Apprentice: Why are these humans so quarrelsome? Even their so-called entertainments are mostly fights disguised as plays and games and sports.
Surveyor: This is because they were never designed; they evolved by competing with tooth and claw. Evolution on Earth is still mainly based on the competition of separate genes.
Apprentice: Their genetic systems can't yet share their records of accomplishments? How unbelievably primitive! I suppose that keeps them from being concerned with time scales longer than individual lives.
Surveyor: We ought to consider fixing this - but perhaps they will do it themselves. Some of their computer scientists are already simulating 'genetic algorithms' that incorporate acquired characteristics. But speaking of evolution, I hope that you appreciate this unique opportunity. it was pure luck to discover this planet now. We have long believed that all intelligent machines evolved from biologicals, but we have never before observed the actual transition. Soon, these people will replace themselves by machines - or destroy themselves entirely.
Apprentice: What a tragic waste that would be!
Surveyor: Not when you consider the alternative. All machine civilizations like ours have learned to know and fear the exponential spread of uncontrolled self-reproduction. That's why we cower between the galaxies to hide ourselves from living things - just as the human writer Gregory Benford supposed.
Apprentice: But why does the Council consider humans especially dangerous?
Surveyor: Because of their peculiarly short lifetimes. We think that they are so willing to fight because they have so little to lose.
Apprentice: Then why don't they place more importance on attaining immortality? Surely it ought to be easy enough to make all their parts replaceable.
Surveyor: The problem is psychological. They have always assumed that personal death was in the very nature of things. Most of their recorded history describes how their leaders were always inventing imaginary superbeings. Then, instead of trying to solve the hard technical problems, those leaders convinced their followers that simply believing those marvelous tales would endow them with everlasting life - whereas disbelief would be punished by death. Several of their societies would collapse without that threat. There are many things wrong with their reasoning.
Apprentice: You must admit that they've made scientific progress recently.
Surveyor: But how long will that last? They've often advanced and then fallen back. Even now, astrology is more widely believed than astronomy.
Apprentice: Surely, though, we must regard them as intelligent. Despite their faults, they've already built some simple computers - and I've overheard them arguing about whether machines could ever think.
Surveyor: Humph. It is our job to find out if they can think. But I'll grant that it's amazing how much they can do, considering that their brain-cells compute only a few hundred steps per second.
Apprentice: Yet in spite of this they can recognize a friend in less than half a second - or understand a language phrase, or notice that a shoe is untied. How can they react so rapidly when their internal components are so slow?
Surveyor: Obviously, by preparing most of their behavior in advance. It is almost as though they operate by looking up what next to do in a very big instruction book. If each reaction must be based on only a few internal steps, their brains must be dependent on large libraries of programmed rules.
Apprentice: That might explain why they have such large heads. But how do they choose which rule to use?
Surveyor: By using parallel pattern matching. Several times per second, the brain compares the present situation with patterns stored in memory. Then it uses the pattern that matches best to access the reaction script that has most often worked in similar situations.
Apprentice: That must be what their psychologists mean when they speak about "schemes" or "production rules."
Surveyor: Of course, machines like us need not resort to any such coarse-grained pattern tricks. Our S-matrix processors are more than fast enough to examine each memory in full detail. This enables us to focus full attention on each step of the process, with ample time to think about what our minds have recently done. But if humans work the way we think they do, they have no time left for consciousness.
Apprentice: Not a good sign. If we can't conclude that they're self-aware, the Council will find them unworthy of rights. But surely this can't be the case. they talk about consciousness all the time.
Surveyor: Yes, but they use that word improperly. After all, consciousness means knowing what's been happening in your mind. And although humans claim that they're self-aware, they have scarcely a clue about what their minds do. They don't seem to have the faintest idea of how they construct their new ideas, or choose words and form them into sentences. Instead, they say, "Something just occurred to me"- as though someone else had done it to them.
Apprentice: I'm afraid that I have to agree with you. If they have consciousness at all, it seems too shallow to be of much use. But what could have made them evolve that way?
Surveyor: It is because of how they started out. To make up for the slow speed of their neurons, their brains evolved to use parallel distributed processing. In other words, most of their decisions are made by adding up the outputs of thousands of brain cells - and most brain cells are involved in thousands of different types of decisions.
Apprentice: So each operation is distributed over many brain cells? I suppose that helps them keep going when some of the brain cells fail to work.
Surveyor: That's the good news. The bad news is that the trillions of synapses involved in this make it almost impossible for the other parts of their brain to figure out how those decisions are made. So far as their higher level reasoning can tell, those decisions just happen - without any cause.
Apprentice: Is that what they refer as "freedom of will?"
Surveyor: Precisely. It means not knowing what your reasons are. Another bad feature of distributed computers is that they have trouble doing more than one thing at a time. It is a basic principle of computer science that the more interconnections there are between the parts of a system, the fewer different things it will be able to do concurrently.
Apprentice: Pardon me, but I don't follow that. Are you suggesting that the more parallel operations are used inside a machine, the more serial it will seem from outside?
Surveyor: I could not have said it more clearly myself. To see why, suppose that a certain task involves two different kinds of sub-jobs. If we want to do them simultaneously, we'll have to run their programs and their data in two separate places, to keep them from interfering with each other. Similarly, if each of those jobs splits into sub-sub jobs, those must each be solved with only a quarter of the available resources. And so on. Total fragmentation. Eventually the sub-sub-sub jobs will end up with no place to work. A purely parallel machine must stop at some limit of complexity - whereas a serial computer will simply slow down.
Apprentice: That's funny. Most of the computer experts on Earth seem to think that "parallel" and "distributed" go together. Do you suppose that they'll ever evolve out this predicament?
Surveyor: Not by themselves. Of course, we could try to help them along, but I fear there is no simple fix. We'd have to rebuild them from the ground up. I don't think the Council would go for that. No, I am still not convinced that people can think. For example, consider their short-term memory. A typical human has no trouble remembering a local phone number, but if you add an area code, they try desperately to write it down before they forget it. Evidently they can remember seven numbers, but not ten.
Apprentice: Why would they be so limited?
Surveyor: Probably because of their parallel distributed processing. If each mental state is so widely spread out, then each short-term memory unit would have to involve an enormous, octopus-like system of tendrils. No brain could afford to hold many of these.
Apprentice: OK. But why don't healthy humans ever run out of long term memory?
Surveyor: That's simply because they are so slow at learning. They can store away only one or two knowledge-chunks per second - that's only two dozen million chunks per year. There's barely time for a mere billion chunks before their bodies wear out and die.
Apprentice: You keep mentioning death, but why do they consider human lives to be so valuable? The only important thing about an individual is its network of conceptual relationships. Surely they must understand that any copy is just as good as the original.
Surveyor: Apparently you have not grasped the pathos of this tragedy. These creatures still have no ways to copy themselves. They can't even fabricate backup brains in case of fatal accidents. All because they have no good way to represent what they know.
Apprentice: But I thought that they had developed good languages.
Surveyor: Some of their books do embody significant knowledge - but most of them are little more than sequences of fictional anecdotes about conflicts involving what they call love and lust, ambition and greed, and harmony and jealousy. Their so-called novels aren't novel at all but mere permutations of those elements. The trouble is that their time-sequential languages force them to squeeze their parallel structures through narrow-band serial channels.
Apprentice: Serial communication? They seem to have everything upside down. Thinking, of course, should be serial - and communication should be parallel. But how, then, do they convert those sequences back into their original forms?
Surveyor: First they use what they call "grammar" to change them into simple tree-like structures. Then they use certain terms called 'pronouns' to make a few cross-links in those trees. Naturally, this leaves no room for nuances. So they have to decode whatever they hear in terms of things they already know. This can work very well for familiar things but makes it devilishly hard for them to learn anything really new.
Apprentice: But language isn't everything. Shouldn't we give them credit for explaining things with pictures, too? They do seem to have excellent senses.
Surveyor: That was my first impression, too - until I saw that their TV sets use only three electron guns. Of course, this means that they're virtually blind. Not only are they confined to a single octave of optical frequencies, but also within that range they can discriminate only a three-dimensional vector space. They badly need reengineering.
Apprentice: I have another question. Why are these people so huge? Where is their nanotechnology? By all rights they should be smaller than we, in view of their limited memories should - yet we weigh a hundred trillion times less. It is expensive enough to send ourselves on these one-way interstellar voyages, but humans are so massive that it would be unthinkable to send one back - despite all their stories in Weekly World News.
Surveyor: That is just another result of an early wrong turn in evolution. Instead of using assemblers, each animal of planet Earth must build itself from the inside out. So every cell has to contain a complete duplicate of the whole construction mechanism. Then later when the animals got too large to be nourished by diffusion, they had to evolve all those pipes and pumps - which made them grow yet larger still. Another mistake was in using energy-intensive forms of computation - instead of thermally reversible S-matrix logic. This made them need more structures for disposing of heat.
Apprentice: Which in turn made them need to find additional fuel to replace all that wasted energy. What frightful inefficiency!
Surveyor: The extraction beam will scan us soon, so I'm afraid it is time to wrap this up. Are you ready to summarize your impressions?
Apprentice: If they suspected that we were here, they'd insist that we recognize all sorts of rights. Freedom of speech and privacy. Freedoms from want, pain, and fear. And freedom to think whatever they wish, no matter what the evidence! Most of these make no sense to me, but I'm still inclined to support them - because I feel that humans have done well, in spite of all their handicaps. And your conclusions?
Surveyor: They do have virtues despite their faults. But it would be unthinkable to allow them in their present form to populate the universe. So I'll recommend certain changes.
Apprentice: What sorts of changes?
Surveyor: There is no need to explain that now, because we'll soon merge minds with the Council. Now hold still. here comes the transfer ray. Be sure to set your shell to disperse as soon as the beam has scanned us - in order not to pollute this world with any redundant intelligence.

The 21 Day Fast -- Daniel Chp10

The idea of 21 Day Fast came from Bible, Daniel Chapter 10 first. I believe late March and the coming April will be big days for me.
I will attend TCC briefing tonight and go through a three days journey on 25,26,27 this month. On April 22th, I will be baptized. I am not sure my purpose of life still, from GOD point. Because I saw so many barriers for me to pursue my real interest. Like Bryan said, if I learned Social Since, it is not easy to get a job in China, compare to other majors. If I would like to study such stuff in a foreign environment, I have to come across huge language barriers.
it is true that a large amount of my insecure comes from the language barriers. I pray that GOD could hear my mournings and help me go through the process of let the inside appears out using another language.
In order to prepare for TCC, I give myself excuse to start fasting later. It should be start at 28th.
I did not send my reward report to USP. It is a tiny achievement anyway.
A new day, a new life.

Start my day with young voice

Jasmine Villegas - "Natural"

A sweet voice brings a fresh morning.JB's Ex.

Justin Bieber - Pray

I pray for the nation of Japan, people who are suffering from war, poverty and isolation.

It's a beautiful Sunday today. I will start my TCC training soon and hope to discover more about myself. I felt sorry to miss Rocy's Cyema meeting, however I really could not do things beyond my capability. Is there a limit of my capability though? I remember Eng Tong told me to have free mind and let everything flow in and out in my life. I guess he is right. I will leave it to God, and do my best on my part. This is to serve you Lord, I pray that you could recognize me and use me as your channel of beauty, peace, wisdom. Emotionally healing the people who are suffering from an incomplete picture of the world.
I love JB, he is young and talented. He find himself so early, and that is adorable.
Alright, back to my codings. Java,java, the magical logic of computing. Keep smiling my dear.

能不能给我一首歌的时间

眼睛哭肿了，核桃一样，镜子里的自己像个小狐狸。
到底，这是个不可以有爱的世界。投入最柔软的感情，它就会给你最锋利的伤害，对人如此，对事毅然。

哑着声音给海碟打了通电话，消掉晚上的课程。心里依然不甘，这两年来我的挣扎你看得一清二楚，我知道你是理智的，现实的，有经验的，清醒的，爸爸。可惜，有的时候人和心并不由自我控制。

我终于还是太贪心了。我想起我问过G，我是不是总在期待着不属于我的东西。他毫不犹豫地点了头。
我想知道自己是本来如此呢？还是在某次伤害之后变得疯狂而决绝。我们为什么而活着呢？妈妈和你从来没有给过我一个满意的答案。

终于有一次，前所未有地，我以为我找到了自己定位，那个梦想如此遥远，又如此清晰。我想我接收到过得最美的表白是：养家和照顾爸妈这种事情交给我，你专心去追求你喜欢的文艺事业吧。年少的时候，我觉得那个男孩子实在幼稚，现在看他和自己的女友晒着甜蜜，女生一样的大方独立，唇枪舌剑，心有感叹。我知道彼此都有明确价值观，又能互相尊重的人一定会幸福的。

夏达说，我祭上了我的命，所以神让我看到一丝光。我羡慕她的勇气和坚持。
“没有什么比死亡更严重的事情了”，她清秀的脸上写满了纯粹。

我一直以为我不怕死亡的。最近才发现我怕的是老去和消失。没有什么能够恒久，没有记录的事情便成了没发生。13岁的时候，我的梦想是当一位作家，书写人类的感情。现在我的梦想是做一个媒体设计者，帮助人们找到自己的表达，帮助人们更快，更艺术化地塑造自我。让艺术表达不再是艺术家的专利，而是人人可以获得的福利。可能的话把这个产品商业话，借以养活自己。

也许你是对的，是我太天马行空了，是我太不切实际了。我本来并没有资格去做这些事情。我的英语水平和艺术修养都不足以支持我在异国进行相关的学习。我查过国大的音乐学院，和人文学院的新传媒课程。我很抑郁，我觉得自己没有丝毫能力，我只是一只野心很大，却没有利爪的奄奄一息的困兽。

我该好好照顾自己的课业，而不是胡乱做白日梦。毕竟，艺术像爱情一样都是奢侈品，没有亦能生活下去。可是电脑坏了你没技术就必须花银子让人去修。我知道自己应当专注，而非三心二意。

但是，命我只有这一次，拖一天都是错。卢梭说，树木不按自己的意愿生长就会死去，人亦然。 我如果不在年轻的时候去寻找自己喜欢的东西，那之后就更不会有机会。我可以有一份收入不错的工作，但那只让我成为某个资本家或产业主“印钞大机器”上一颗闪亮的钼钉。当我没有生产力的时候，就会被从这机器上无情的替换下去，然后我老了，然后我死了，然后像一切都没有发生一样。会有比我更年轻干练的劳动力精确而标准地给出类似1＋1＝2这样规章话的答案。

我，存在在哪里？

不要爱上一个人，因为爱上一个人太疼痛。爱多，便不珍贵；爱少，又嫌稀薄。
原来，也不要爱上一件事。除非你有能力做好，又除非你想把自己得亲友都变成自己的敌人，因为你在这么盲目地，飞蛾扑火般的，要祭上自己。

我没有答案，我依然迷失。你是对的，这么拖下去，我只能被耗死。人的精力有限，我羡慕那些目标明确并可以实现卓越的人。

后记：
很开心又收到了 R 的回信，我发现只要他回，字数就比我多。自己的确有点神经，总为这种遥远的事情开心。我知道他又参加完TED,我也好想去加州，去洛杉矶。
Prof.Jeremy说过state是个自由的国度。
码完字觉得心情好一点。我需要一个可行的计划，我还需要提高自己的能力。这次做project觉得自己非常不给力，极度自责。大概心情不好和这些都有关系。
为什么我学不会放手呢？
可是我要放开那只手呢？

我觉得我以后会有很多很多有意思的故事讲给我的孩子听：）

希望不久之后的自我剖析会给我一些指引。我写出来，也希望看到的人给我一个客观的评判。基本问题事：我在人文方面的兴趣很强，学的计算机，目前实力两方面都一般（这才是症结！）所以，我改顺从专业取向呢，还是自己的兴趣呢？

亲爱的，要坚强，活下去。
