THIS Rhett Butler Will Never Die

 Well, today is when HCH has its only in-person Reiki Clinic in Lafayette. Since the lock-down back in 2020 they have only been doing Reiki clinic online via Zoom meetings. I have only ever participated in one solitary Zoom meeting. It seems that most of the world has gladly adapted to using this method as a replacement for classroom/clinic setting type activities, and it's really odd for me to be one who adapts new technology so readily that I cannot acquiesce and jump on the bandwagon with everyone else, but I just cannot do it in my current living situation. The one time I partook in a meeting I did it in someone else's home where I had relative privacy, but even there it just did not fully resonate with me. It felt "wrong".

hahaha, that title may make you want to read more...!! ok, i read a book many, many years ago. it was written in the 70's (so i probably read it in the 80's). it was about experiments that psychics in Russia performed. the experiement that stuck in my mind was how, using their mental powers and registering a belief that "all things have happened before", or that future events are already established and that we are just living out our existences in a sort of déjà vu mode. like we are "remembering the future". so what they did was to go into quasi-meditative states of mind and found out what the next days winning lotto numbers were going to be. and it worked! they were repeatedly able to determine what the winning numbers were going to be. since it was a scientific, government funded study they stopped the experiment shortly after it succeeded. this has stuck in my mind all these years though. i've had plenty of other philosophies in my head about "w...
