  Mind machines, bio/neurofeedback etc.

  this is probably a long shot, but has anyone used such devices?

  it used to be a hobby of mine, and i still own a number of different gadgets as well as various psycho-acoustic recordings.

  in fact, there's a good chance you have one of these tapes/cds if you've ever bought a meditation or even relaxation recording.

  You ever heard of the Radioclast? The society years ago were playing with frequencies with a machine which allegedly pinpointed disease dissonance via vibrations within the body until the scientific community threw it out with disgust.

  I'll find the website for you with detailed explanations.

  Better still, go to seach engine google.com, type in ex jw boards and I think the entry is about the 6th or 7th down, if you have any probs locating, get back to me and I'll see if I can find.

  We'll have to talk music sometime with frequential analysis.

  Have fun!!

  Volunteers to help with the site...

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i'm sure you've all noticed that we have grown quite a bit over the last few months and seem to get busier every week with more people joining every day.. while i do my best to read and monitor all the threads on the forum to make sure that no one causes trouble it is becoming very difficult to do this all the time.

  with this in mind, i'd like to ask for some volunteers to help keep an eye on things who i will setup with some extra permissions.. i don't intend for the forum to be 'ruled over with an iron fist' or anything like that.

  it would really be so that we could respond quickly if anyone started causing trouble (eg.

  I was born on the banks of a very beautiful part of the world, the Helford River in SW Cornwall, UK. You may have heard of this enchanted, wild garden - Trebah, the magical garden of dreams - www.trebah-garden.co.uk

  It just so happens whether by coincidence, synchronicity I know not, but this garden is renowned as one of the top 100 paradise gardens in the world. My father was head gardener there in the 1960's for Donald Healey, the owner and inventor of the Austin Healey Motor Car Company.

  This garden has always played a rather large influence over my life especially as my formative years were spent in roaming freely its magic and wonder.

  I left the JW's over 6 years ago at the age of 28, brought up in the borg since birth - 3rd generation. My aim in life is to be an outstanding garden designer. This is the project that I am initially working upon implementing.

  It is my wish to design Sculptured Acoustic Water Gardens as public educational amenities in ecology and environmental awareness centres of excellence. I like this theme because great gardens are about bringing together components in the eventual achievement of a very long vision. Not similar to entrepreneurial business ethics where the plan strategy is usually 5, 10, 15, 20 years into the future, gardens are about holistic, organic growth planning for a future that I possibly may never see, 100+ years into the future.

  I am presently sourcing available sites and looking to secure funding to bring this new project to the fore. An acoustic water garden is a combination of the visual form of fine music working inunison with sculptured moving water and plantlife. Imagine walking through a section and listening for example to one of Beethoven's symphonies and seeing, experiencing the garden design around you actually moving in time to the music, waterfalls and fountains can be great fun to design.

  Within the hub of the garden there will be an educational awareness centre of excellence complete with sound engineering labs creating the interactivity between the different elements. The project name is INLUNARSUN which is about bringing two opposite, opposing forces into conjunction with one another. You are entering an area of outstanding natural beauty, for an out of this world design implementation experience with down to earth commonsense.

  This garden is about opening up the real latent creative capacity within different individuals, giving them a sense of awe and wonder, inspiration, healing and quiet reflexive meditation. It will also demonstrate first hand experience of spatial awareness and helps others to understand their relationship with themselves and their local living environments too.

  If you would like to hear more of the project, please feel free to get in touch and discuss ideas or visions.

  Full member of UK 'think tank' CAN online, The Community Action Network www.can-online.org.uk we have now expanded internationally with over 30 centres in the USA as well as Australia and Japan amongst others. The very diverse pro-active group, mostly rebels against the system of one kind or another have now secured in excess of £100m funding over the next 3 years, and that is just UK.

  So, if you are working in any issues involving enabling of those individuals working within the arena of social exclusion or community deprivation, there is a great deal upon the network available to you for the asking. Thinking of putting together a charity? Need advice? Do you have a creative project you would like to roll out, but don't know how? Ask!! Development trusts? Advice offered. Funding sources? Its all there and everything else besides.

  I honestly believe that possibly more especially within the ex jw community there are many rather creative genius's out there, my role is to help bridge the gaps in the provision of bringing grassroots community projects into fruition, locally, regionally, nationally, continental and international.

  Lets get busy, re-creating our futures and designing a more positive outlook for all.

  Giving you all the best will and healing in the world.

  peace

  CAN The Community Action Network has now expanded internationally and their is an abundance of available help and assistance with issues dealing with social exclusion of which us guys have experienced first hand at the sharp end, many since birth like myself.

  If you need help or advice or ideas sharing to the benefit of others, please feel free to contact for advice or contacts sharing and capacity building.

  Work in progress is the design implementation of a sculptured acoustic water garden covering some 20 acres or so. If interested to know more, feel free to ask.

  Travelled the universe in search of simple concise truths and answers, I take interest in gestalt blocks and transactional analysis with empirical knowledge systems.

  Keywords: approachable, empathic, good listener, positive communication, pro-active involvement / doing, making friends, changing things and mischievious positive fun and laughter.

  Looking forward to working with you in issues directly related to the borg and your personal self and community development.

  Hello to onen hag oll (one and all).

  I was disfellowshipped in April 1995 for anger and swearing.

  The journey since has been a tour of magic and mystery, in search of healing and self-belief and empowerment enabling.

  I work in community regeneration issues, especially social exclusion and am a full member of independent UK government 'think tank' The Community Action Network (CAN) www.can-online.org.uk

  Very interested in expanding networks and connectivity building plus capacity building between all groups suffering the long term effects of social exclusion. I am also a volunteer with the Self Direction Community Project in Cornwall www.selfdirection.org and we have just secured excellent funding for replication of our first class disability awareness website now renowned for one of the best worldwide.

  My personal vision is to create and design Sculptured Acoustic Water Gardens for which plans are now moving well along.

  Well along in my new journey of self discovery and healing I have already faced directly many recovery issues and continually look forward to regenerating my outlook always more positively and upbeat along the way.

  Now single once more at the grand old age of 34 (550), I have one son aged 7.5.

  Another of my greatest loves in life is the magical and mysterious Helford River where I was born at the garden of dreams - Trebah, one of the 80 most beautiful gardens worldwide.

  Poor but rich inside, I love the university of life and wish to reach out to others to share positiveness and empathy.

  Finally, giving everyone here a big friendly smiley kick up the backside.

  Keep your chins up folks!!
