I place my hand on the painful spot and try to massage the knot out, telling myself this pain, so familiar, so miserably familiar, is nothing. Nothing to worry about. It's nothing more than fatigue from walking so much, and from golfing nearly all afternoon yesterday. I've read that as your uterus grows with a baby in ...

What's Philosophy of Cosmology? | Episode 1901 | Closer To Truth [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] ROBERT LAWRENCE KUHN: Whenever it likes, the universe strikes me with wonder, shocks me with awe.

From its seat in the throat, the emotion gradually invades every cell in the body. It is a slow process, greatly accelerated and strengthened by puberty. The child itself is powerless to resist the psychic invader. Its one hope is to have the support, strength and authority of parents or guardians whose absence of unha...
Electrical activityIt has been known since the late 1920s that there is a major difference in scalp electrical activity(EEG) between waking consciousness and deep, unconscious sleep, as reported by humanB.J.

He bent and picked up a small chunk of wood, setting it on top of a large boulder as a target. "Try again." She did, and again, and again, growing used to the awkward weight of the weapon, finding the lovely balancing point of its length and its natural seat in the curve of her shoulder. It kicked less than she'd expec...
Somehow, he managed to build the axk and waterproof it, collect all the creatures and put them and his family aboard, and provision the axk in the allotted time. "And it came to pass, after the seven days, that the waters of the Deluge were upon the earth." What came to pass is best described in the Bible's own words: ...
Can 'the main' accommodate, make room for, the singular? There are similarities here to the social and cultural reactions to genius. (Of course I do not suggest that all autists have genius, only that they share with genius the problem of singularity.) Specifically: what does the future hold for Jose? Is there some 'pl...

I slip off my bra and then my underwear. I debate whether or not to turn the light out. The one time I was with Owen, it was dark, so my insecurities were almost nonexistent.

Having a lot of built-in machinery should make a system respond more intelligently and flexibly to its inputs, not less. Yet the reply captures how centuries of commentators have reacted to the idea of a richly structured, high-tech mind. And the "interactionist" position, with its phobia of ever specifying the innate ...

When clouds gathered on the horizon and the thunder rumbled, Loulou would scream, perhaps because he remembered the storms in his native forests.

You have moved beyond time and space and become pure, immaterial awareness. Once you’re no longer connected to a body, no longer focused on people, places, or things in your external environment, and beyond linear time, you’re entering the door of the quantum field. You cannot enter as a somebody, you must do so as a n...

His lips parted, his eyes blazing, he stared at me intently, like he wanted to devour me. God...I wanted him to. "Take me home, Kellan." Placing my hand on his thigh, I leaned over to breathe in his ear, "Take me to our home." He groaned. Biting his lip, he closed his eyes for a second and stopped moving, stopped breat...
Roger and Seaman Bodine (when he’s in town) have outdrawn the ENSA shows.

She didn't mean to, but the pain pushed the sound out of her. Soren paused as if waiting for her to object, to ask him to stop. If he waited for her to ask him to stop he'd be waiting all night. He struck her again. A third time. A fourth. She'd never known pain like this pain. She'd never known strength like the stren...
Since those days, I have become an ‘analyst’, and I now carry out analyses which are very highly spoken of, though it is true that they are ‘psycho-analyses’. It was now clear to me: if I have grown proud of carrying out analyses of that kind in my daytime life and feel inclined to boast to myself of how successful I h...
Meanwhile, as the dinner advanced through a labyrinth of courses, in which it became clear that Mrs. Bry had occasionally broken away from Lord Hubert's restraining hand, Selden's general watchfulness began to lose itself in a particular study of Miss Bart.

I stole a look at Will. He was rapt, suddenly unself-conscious. I turned away, unexpectedly afraid to look at him. I was afraid of what he might be feeling, the depth of his loss, the extent of his fears. Will Traynor's life had been so far beyond the experiences of mine. Who was I to tell him how he should want to liv...
Charles's mother came to see them from time to time, but after a few days the daughter-in-law seemed to put her own edge on her, and then, like two knives, they scarified him with their reflections and observations.

When it was vacated by the large family who had been living there, she had it painted, bought a few pieces of bamboo furniture (I don’t know of any chair more comfortable than this), and kept it, and still keeps it, a secret from the family. At about this time I returned from Munich with renewed courage, went to a rent...
A certain path occurred to me at that moment. It wasn't so much that I had to be in the clearing. I just had to be where Edward was. Cruel, I accused myself. Selfish, selfish, selfish! Don't do it!

"Absolutely not," I snarled at her. She jerked away from me, her eyes bewildered and frightened. I leaned back, too, wanting to put space between us. She was never going to see, was she? She wouldn't do one thing to help me keep her alive. "Too scary for me?" she asked, her voice even. Her heart, however, was still mov...
If our genes don’t seal our fate and if they actually contain an enormous library of possibilities just waiting to be taken off the shelf and read, then what gives us access to those potentials—potentials that could have a huge effect on our health and well-being?

But her eyelashes were of deep black and bushy like a man's. She had a soft little bit of hair on her upper lip. She must have been a dark, hairy southern girl before she dyed her hair.

The ‘unconscious’ had, it is true, long been under discussion among philosophers as a theoretical concept; but now for the first time, in the phenomena of hypnotism, it became something actual, tangible and subject to experiment. Apart from all this, hypnotic phenomena showed an unmistakable similarity to the manifesta...
At that stage, some children refer to themselves in the third person. “Johnny is hungry.” Soon after, they learn the magic word “I” and equate it with their name, which they have already equated with who they are.

From another point of view it may be said that this transformation of an erotic object-choice into an alteration of the ego is also a method by which the ego can obtain control over the id and deepen its relations with it - at the cost, it is true, of acquiescing to a large extent in the id’s experiences. When the ego ...
His dad pushed him to study more and harder, but he wasn't the kind of prodigy who goes to college at eleven.

Only believers, who demand that science shall be a substitute for the catechism they have given up, will blame an investigator for developing or even transforming his views.

Then the user of them must have the greatest experience of them, and he must indicate to the maker the good or bad qualities which develop themselves in use; for example, the flute-player will tell the flute-maker which of his flutes is satisfactory to the performer; he will tell him how he ought to make them, and the ...
