Blind man demonstrates a phenomenon called 'Blind-sight' by navigating an obstacle course.

A man know only as TN who has completely lost his sight after suffering brain damage has astonished scientists by being able to negotiating an obstacle course in what has been called a powerful demonstration of a phenomenon known as “blind-sight” which has been describe by the press as an eerie kind of sixth-sense.

It seems he can also react to the facial expressions of other people, brain scans have confirmed this, his brain apparently registers facial emotions such as joy, anger and fear. A professor Beatrice de Gelder, of the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands, who was in charge of the study, claimed that this was absolutely the first study carried out of humans having this ability.

Preparing to take part in the Drum Stalk in orderto gain a new insight into ones inner landscape.

For all of you that have taken part in Nature Awareness take heart, science is not far behind you, at long last. It would be interesting to carry out our own study of what we know to be true based on our own experience of navigating woodlands blindfolded namely during the drum stalk and of course not forgetting ‘meet a tree’ and those of you who also experience the thread of intent etc.

My response to a thread on a forum entitled 'where have all the men gone'.

Hi Guys.

This has been an interesting thread some very relevant points have been made and some not so very relevant. I would like to bring it back to the original point by simply summarising this thread and I trust we will all see the point, which is if you can help no matter how small then why not take the risk and reach out to those who can personally benefit from your experience in order to help them find their way back to their path.

There are four people in a team.

Their names are Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done. Although Anybody could have done it, Everybody was asked to do it, but eventually Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because the job had been given to Everybody. Everybody knew that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
