• i am looking for information on "how our bare feet pulls nutrients from the soil?"

• not energetically

• what I mean is "what nutrients ..... vitamins? mineral? vitamin C?. and how does this pulling effect happen???

• I do believe it can be true, but what I would like to write about here is the science behind the theory.

Hallo, A,O,!

How dear of you to imagine that I'm smart enough to have such esoteric info!

Someone wrote somewhere that the cells on the soles of our feet are extra-large, if that means anything. I wouldn't know where to point you, friend, although the project does sound intriguing. Taste buds on our toes?

I'm also interested in an unusual topic that I can't find any info on anywhere on line.

How does light get transformed into ecstatic feelings via the eyes? I know when I sun-gaze that my heartbeat quickens, and then these amazing feelings start radiating from below my navel and also the heart chakra. But how does this get triggered? Via the pineal gland maybe? I frequently refer to light as 'vertical love' and love as 'horizontal light,' with the heart chakra the 'transformer' -- see www.raysender.com/diagram1.html -- but the actual neurophysiology of this is hard to track down. The most info comes from Gurdjieff's explanation about the 'kundabuffer' organ in his 'All and Everything' book, but in his usual manner he obscures a lot of information. I think I may have to read a lot of the commentaries on G and try to see what's there.

The other approach is to search the psychedelic literature to see if anything has ever tried to figure out why 'getting high' puts one into a light-bliss state. I think our upbringing closes down this 'transformation,' and also that evolution selected for the filter for survival reasons - i.e. once the climate changed to cold, humans could not just lounge about the Garden tripping out and living on the fruits that dropped in their laps. They had to hunt for food and warm furs and firewood. The ones who just lounged around just went extinct, except of course for the tribal schizo who couldn't help being different, so he/she became the shaman who would trip out and report back to the others. This began the priesthoods!

I've been in contact with various SAD researchers, etc., but no one really has any info, which is sort of strange, really.

Good luck on your research! And wish me some as well!

Beams and blessiings,
