the Hum

I’m only speculating here, but likely it’s a long haul to change the atmosphere of repression that appears to have been living in the new school that Oprah created to move those girls out of consciousness of poverty and repression. Now the trick is, of course, to not only give these girls an opportunity to learn and excel, but doing it within the established norm for the area and somehow escalate all the consciousness of the area. You can not take a kid out of one home in a town if you have a town of like thinkers, and expect anything to change in the long run. It takes a village applies here.

Admirable is the way in which Oprah is addressing the issues, maybe hands on, after all Oprah’s consciousness and openness is a start for a place where secrets and darkness may have prevailed for years.

While Oprah decided to do the school outside of her own country because reportedly she thought that American children were spoiled, it could be that overcoming bereft consciousness in ANY country is a challenge. There may not be any difference in the long run between “spoiled American” children who want ipods, eventhough they live in utter poverty. Wanting an ipod is symbolistic for the achievement of something unachievable after all. There maybe no differene in that in comparison to the children elsewhere who only want food. Hunger, whether it be emotional, spiritual or physical has the same effect upon the souls of our youth. Both cultures live in poverty consciousness and hope to attain self esteem via abundance. In the human condition is there a difference between physical pain and emotional pain.  You can not have abundance without both being survivable. What good is a healthy child who is unhappy, and what good is a happy child who is unhealthy.  Either way the balance does not exist to foster true abundance.

Nevertheless when Oprah opened her school she meant with all her heart to provide a village with the reality of abundance, no expense spared, to show these girls that abundance could be theirs. As the old adage goes, money can not buy happiness, and as shown in this case, all the money in the world is no substitution for the spiritual and emotional support and changing that Oprah is best at delivering. While Oprah has the means to achieve this, the reality, as she may have discovered is in the imparting of wisdom not in the showing of money.

But in the overall, Oprah has come to the calling and promises to deliver that lost element, self esteem and integrity upon the girls personally. Kudos to you Oprah for taking matters in your own hands and doing the right thing. A satellite nanny cam in all the hallways and rooms might also be a good idea to make sure things continue to stay on track.

Another study adds to the growing evidence that the brain chemical dopamine is an important element of well being and low levels of it may add to obesity.    Rats with less dopamine were fatter than rats that had the chemical. The new study does not explain whether or not the lack of dopamine is a cause of obesity or whether the obesity is a cause of low dopamine, but either way, stop eating and the dopamine in the brain will increase. You’ll have to get your reward system in some other way now.

The new scanners for Doctors arrives on the scene at a mere $10,000 per unit, allowing more Doctors immediate ability to scan necks for the signs of heart disease. The new pocket scanner will cost consumers about $300 dollars for a scan. Now try to get your HMO to pay for it as most HMOs say that there is “imited proof of the value of such tests”. Oh well.

If you want a full body scan try this site I found while traveling around for full body scan. For a small fee of $600 to $3000 you can finally find out if there is anything that looks wierd in there.

So now you can find out what ails you, and what doesn’t on this site for online medical diagnosis
