I had biofeedback for anxiety issues when I was 11. Learned to
breath to control overactive amygdala. Early 80s, new age
biofeedback; using my MIND to make a COMPUTER beep go down in
tone.
[it's probably why I feel as if I can do _anything_ with a
computer - and usually I sorta can tongue emoticon ]
That's likely the source of the very short but conscious pause.
My grandmother into Edgar Cayce, my mother fed us Yogurt in the
late 70s/early 80s... and yet she had a government job and
wasn't a hippie. I guess she enacted her back-to-nature dreams
as best she could with us. [although I followed more my
grandmother, who was a Star trek + Doctor Who fan and I loved
that stuff as a kid - AND... still do... but I didn't follow her
interest in American theosophy or ancient astronauts tongue
emoticon ]
Still, being introduced to Joseph Campbell at a young age made
me interested in the "power of myth", comparative religion, and
I had a heavy interest in science, which easily folded together
with religious things. I never studied philosophy 'til a year
ago but people always called me a philosopher. So, I just let
them, even though I"m STILL not sure what most Philosophers
talked about or were; I just like doing it tongue emoticon
