OK, today we are going into the weirdness of Akashic records. I'll be quoting some stuff that may or may not be accurate. For example: "Did you know that Akashic happens to mean sky or space in Sanskrit?" I can't verify that but the entire concept is certainly spacey.  Well I guess I could verify what Akashic means in Sanskrit — if I cared.

Moving right along: "the term is a part of the Hindu religion and it also is a part of a mystical concept that allows you to find yourself." This assumes that you are mystically lost and that there is some good reason to find yourself. Most people will be better off not finding themselves and continuing to live more or less happily with their illusions, the internet  and cable TV. Never, ever, assume that your real self, once found, will bring you joy.

"… these records are like being a library that is filled with knowledge that can help you to grow as a person … it will contain all the secrets to life."  What always baffles me is if this stuff is so hot and has all the secrets of life wouldn't we all be using it already?  You may have noticed that verifiable scientific discoveries that do useful things in the real world are quickly and widely adopted.  

"It is amazing how something that is more new age can find so many followers and so quickly."  Just ignore the stupid grammar. Is it a surprise? Haven't there always been a large number of people who turn to ridiculous belief structures that promise magical solutions?

And "They … contain everything that the universe has planned for you."  Do you really want to know, even if you could? Kind of takes all the free out of free will leaving you as just an actor forcefed your lines. I suppose though that for an extra donation you can also discover the secrets that will let you fix the life the universe has planned for you if it happens to involve early death, extreme pain, nasty behavior and so on.

Just don't come whining around about getting ripped if you have your Akashic record read. You've been warned.  

Well, hey you don't expect to live forever do you? So maybe this is a little mistitled and mis-categorized if you don't think of motorcycling as a sport. Motorcycle racing is most definitely a sport but those guys are not stupid yahoos and they wear full leathers (or maybe Kevlar), have protective pads, major bad boots and serious no messing around gloves and helmets. And they know how to dump it, trash it and walk away - most of the time.

I'm no racer type. A little too old and not trained well enough for it - and it isn't a cheap sport if you like superbikes. But, yeah, I like to go fast. I like to read about bikes - books, magazines, tech manuals. It's weird but there it is. Mostly I like to ride. I like leather too, feels nice, makes me feel secure.

So what's the point? Well, it has to do with what riding is about. I don't see a whole of stuff that gets on the inside.  But I've had this ste I've visited on and off for a couple 3 years now. Guy had kind of stopped writing most of his own stuff, but today I saw he's got a new post up and it gets close to it for me. Now this is an older article that he wrote:

Embedded in the RIde

And here's the post he made today:

Out of the Box

Now the deal here is that the ride is  - or can be - like he's talking about. It can turn around a dead downer day. Maybe not everybody rides alive all the time.  Some days I'm zombied but the ride can turn it all back on.

So think about it, it isn't just transportation or a sport. It's meditation, maybe a kind of therapy. If you ride you gotta really pay serious attention. It's usually the ones who forget that make the mess.

Our world seems to be getting seriously corrupted with sickness and disease. Yeah, you heard me right. Take a good look around. Flip on the idiot box and if you don't see something on a virus or disease you will soon. None of us can escaping this stuff. Sure, we all want to prevent ourselves from getting something nasty. And that's why professionals are always pushing certain lifestyles and practices. It's just prudent to stay on top of this if you want to do your best to stick around for a while. Now, what about the afflictions you do end up with? Take the common cold or flu for instance. What do you do to get rid of them quickly? Are you all for modern-day industrial science or do you look for an alternative herbal medicine? Are they all fakery, snake oil and bunk? You may want to consider doing some actual research before making any assumptions.

Can you name an alternative herbal medicine that works well for you? Hey, I can. I type one hell of a lot (surprise, huh?) and then my forearms get sore. While it might not, it could lead eventually to all the nastiness and pain that's involved in problems like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Bad idea, I don't need any of that. Now, I could use an oral medicine such as Ibuprofen to deal with the soreness. But all it really odes is reduce the pain. What I wanted was something that would treat and heal my forearms.

So I went off searching for an alternative herbal medicine. Eventually I stumbled across a German alternative herbal medicine. It is called Arnica cream. It's all natural which I liked. And, it's been proven to heal joints and tendons. Sounded like exactly what I was after. After using it the first time, I was surprised at how well this alternative herbal medicine worked. I don't know if they are, but it seems to me a topical cream like this ought to make a fortune. Anyway, now I slather this stuff on my forearms every night before bed, and when I wake up each morning, they're restored. Maybe it's somethig weird about me but it's phenomenal stuff.

So, do you have your own good reasons why someone might choose an alternative herbal medicine over some synthetic chemical from a lab? Well, I do. We should all be getting more tuned in to the dangers of these man-made concoctions. It's difficult not to notice all the backlash. I certainly don't want my liver eaten away by some new industrial medicine. Why not check out what sorts of contemporary alternative herbal medicine is available these days instead.

BIG FAT DISCLAIMER: This is not medical advice. Do not be an idiot. For some problems you absolutely need stuff like surgery, big time antibiotics, serious industrial medicine and so forth. If you've got a health problem, see your primary health care professional. Many more health care professionals these days not only understand at least something about alternative herbal medicine, other forms of alternative medicine, etc., but also use it as a part of their treatment procedures.
