Dr. Dan Assissi recommends a transformative change in life

Posted: 27-Dec-2020 Reposted: 01-Jun-2022

Until we find true meaning and purpose in life, we are unsatisfied. We discover there's something missing, always. We chase several pretty rainbows in life only to discover that each one, after being pleasurable for a time, invariably turns into ashes in our hands. We look expectantly for the next one to try, and suffer disappointment again ... it goes on and on ... until we turn cynical with age. Its like when John Lennon sang (towards the end of his life) “... All I want is the truth now, Just gimme some truth now.”

Over 700,000 abandoned/orphaned children in the USA need your help...

Posted: 07-Dec-2020 Reposted: 31-May-2022

The plight of abandoned and orphaned children, particularly those aged below five is heart-wrenching. This book seeks to bring us up-to-date about the condition of such kids, first in the USA, but also about afflicted kids all over the world.

According to a 2017 estimate, every year, there are nearly 700,000 children in the USA in the abandoned/orphaned category. A sizeable number of them are less than five years old. They are weak and helpless and consequently easy prey to child molesters, traffickers, and abusers. Despite existing foster care that's provided under the supervision of Gov Departments, these kids are emotionally fragile and can scarcely live normal lives when they turn into adults. They desperately need good foster care. If that's not provided, it'll be only a matter of days before they fall into traps set by scheming child abusers who'll lead them down the path of destruction for selfish gain.

The 'POETRY' page has grown with the addition of a story about the poet James Elroy Flecker to it. There's a little background explaining why I like Flecker's poetry, involving the legendary businessman of India, late JRD Tata, for whom Flecker's poem "The Golden Journey to Samarkand," was a big favorite.

Coining the word 'Mindscape!'

Posted: 06-Jul-2020 Reposted: 29-May-2022

There's no such word as "Mindscape" in English! Please bear with me - I took the liberty of coining it because I badly needed a word to express "landscapes that the mind journeys through" succinctly.

Now, let me explain mindscapes by means of an example. Let's say you read a particular science-fiction novel. The author hijacks your mind and carries it off into some futuristic world created by science. In it, your mind wanders about, as though on a conducted tour by the author, encountering strange characters, machines and objects. You are a bit spooked by what you see...

Suddenly you are standing face to face with...

Captain Space Wired. He's wearing a brilliant-white space-suit. He's bright and cheerful as the sunlight. "See this," he says, showing you a glassy, film-like object that he's wearing on the palm of his right hand, like a sheath. He raises his hand to the sunlight and slowly closes his fist, as though wanting to bend the sunlight that's passing through. The light bender in his palm turns red hot and suddenly you find you're floating in the air. You are seeing an image before you, at the end of a dark tunnel. Yes, it's the Sun that's appearing, but you realize it isn't blazing into your eyes. It's dimmed and reduced enough in size for you to view comfortably. You hear the Captain's voice in your ears saying, "According to Shelden Baum's Quantum Theory III of the universe, your future is hidden in the Sun, in its β-P201 rays. To know what you'll be like 20 years on, command the Sun '+20 Find Me. Now=2020.'"

You do the Captain's bidding and lo and behold, you hear a periodic, low beep and three red, flashing vertical bars appear in your view. The captain mutters something under his breath and then says, "Sorry son, this means you won't be alive 20 years from now! Try 10 years instead ..." A chill shiver runs up your spine ... You've been introduced to a great new future that science is likely to create, and you come back pondering on it... and also, well entertained!
The mindscape created in your mind contains the environment, and the entities you encountered during your journey through. It's retained in the science-fiction category of mindscapes in the brain.

Note that in the creation of the latest mindscape, parts of previously stored mindscapes are referenced and at the end of the novel, your consolidated science-fiction mindscape is enlarged and links are updated automatically. e.g., you knew Quantum Theory but not later developments, so Quantum Theory III, Shelden Baum and the sun's β-P201 rays are added up.

Read, instead a book on mountain climbing and you enter another mindscape, and so on.
