There are times when I can't spin the pinwheel no matter how hard I try to. But strangely enough, my teddy bear doesn't seem to have that problem. When I can't move the wheel, he does it for me. It's a bit embarrassing to still need a teddy bear for help at my age. I feel kind of silly admitting that I even have a bear, but then someone pointed out to me the important role teddy bears play in so

I'm under the weather this week. The geomagnetic weather. I didn't have an easy time getting the wheel to move last night. I wasn't feeling well. And I was having difficulty calming down enough to just do this. I played with the wheel for about 15 minutes before I got to where this video starts. The pinwheel only moves slowly, but at least I got it going. I've been trying out a pk exercise

One issue I'm still trying to come to terms with in regards to pk is fear. It scares the hell out of me. I'm trying to deal with it, but it isn't easy. It's like a very bad habit with me. It kicks in on autopilot. It isn't logical or helpful, but it's there. I was up late talking to a friend about the fear issue last night. I stayed up much later than I should have, but sometimes a good

My PK wheel seems to have a mind of it's own lately. The first video is one where I was trying very hard to get the wheel to move by using my hand to direct the movement. It wouldn't spin for me. Then I gave up and it just started going on it's own. (Awesome!) The second video is more typical of my attempts to do "canned PK". I'll get the wheel spinning and hope it continues when I take my hand

I'm looking forward to seeing this when it comes out. So at least I have something to look forward to in 2012. There is a movie coming out in the Fall of 2012 about the Esalen Institute and the work that it has inspired. The film will feature Russell Targ, Nick Herbert, Michael Murphy, Ed Kelly, Adam Crabtree, Stanislov Grof, Dana Sawyer, Elizabeth Rauscher, Jeffrey J. Kripal and Charles Tart.

I was taking a walk through the park this afternoon. It was a nice day here and tomorrow it might rain, so I wanted to get out and enjoy the day. Most of the trails were rather busy, since other people probably had the same idea as me to get out and enjoy the weather. I decided to follow a rarely used trail that goes around the far side of this pond in the park. I thought it would be a quieter

I was in an interesting part of the city on Sunday. It's a neighborhood with old houses, lots of coffee shops, a few awesome restaurants, interesting gift shops and my favorite used bookstore. I'm sure every city has one of these neighborhoods. There are beautiful old houses that for part of their history had fallen into disrepair as it became too expensive to fix up the old treasures when

I haven't had much luck doing my pk experiment for the past week and a half. It's like on some level I just can't do this right now. I don't know why. On Tuesday morning I woke up having totally forgotten about ever having done the experiment. I forgot about everything weird. Everything. Don't ask me how. I just did. It's like one morning out of the blue, I woke up normal. Normal just like I've
