Towards the Advancement of Humanity
I just finished watching a video about the science of replacement organs. Not just transplanting organs from one body to the next – but actually building new replacement organs outside the human body. The speaker is Anthony Atala from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. There are, apparently, whole teams of people around the country spending time studying the creation of new organs for the body. They only need time, money, and effort to bring their dreams to reality. The film is inspiring beyond measure, at least to me.
What would the world be like if we, as a global people, focused our minds and money on hopeful technologies such as this one, rather than on the development of new weapons of destruction? What if we could somehow, someway, turn the minds that are now focused on the development of new ways to destroy one another onto the development of new ways to sustain each other? We could, without a doubt, advance humanity and the planet we live on. Call me a dreamer, I suppose, but I think about these things.
My hope is that the following film could help inspire one child, one person, to live a life for the advancement of humanity. The God given intelligence to advance our world has been given to each of us. It is up to each of us to use that intelligence.
Somthing to think about…..
Jill Bolte Taylor’s stroke of insight
Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She had a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions — motion, speech, self-awareness — shut down one by one. What she learned as a result of that experience has implications for all of us. An astonishing story.
Enjoy.
Awe…..
Today, a departure from what I’ve written so far. This is a scientific topic, and it may be a bit deep / complicated for those of you who do not normally follow astronomy. I hope, however, that you will continue to read along, as the implications of this research are both astounding and humbling on a Universal scale. As you read along, try to imagine the space being described. Read more »
About
I decided to put this page together at the urging of friends. Several of them were encouraging me to do this, as they were sure that my words were needed to help counteract all of the negativity out there. I’m not a pollyanna. I understand the problems of the world. I also understand that most of our problems are of our own making, and that the only way for any of us to solve our problems is to start exactly where we are, and solve what we can. We made the problems. We can solve them.
I know we cannot improve our lives by being negative. I know we cannot create what we want by fighting what we don’t want. It just doesn’t work that way, though the nightly news is full of people who are determined to do so using just that method. The only way out is to find a path of cooperation, Love, and compassion. This Blog is written so we can find a way to do just that. I hope you join me.
