Thank you my blog, for all you have done. I promise you a ‘new beginning’, free from oppression. Miss you!

After the death of my personal blog, I feel that it is really important to live a ‘double-way’ life to survive in a society where everyone is bound by faith and ethical beliefs, rather than liberal and intellectual ways of dealing with situations.

For everything, there is a proper time and a season. Thanks to the administrator of this blog, that I am posting blog entries on this blog, which will ‘bridge’ me to the blogosphere, until I reach the proper time to continue ‘real blogging’.

Hope I can continue writing through this blog…

Infatuation

When two people are attracted to each other, a virtual explosion of adrenaline-like nuerochemicals gush forth. Fireworks explode and we see stars. PEA or phenylethylamine is a chemical that speeds up the flow of information between nerve cells.

Also, involved in chemistry are dopamine and norepinephrine, chemical cousins of amphetamines. Dopamine makes us feel good and norepinephrine stimulates the production of adrenaline. It makes our heart race!

These three chemicals combine to give us infatuation or “chemistry.” It is why new lovers feel euphoric and energized, and float on air. It is also why new lovers can make love for hours and talk all night for weeks on end.

This is the chemistry or the love sparks we all seek.

Actually when we have chemistry with someone, it’s not exactly flattering. In fact, some might call it insulting.

Why?

According to Harville Hendrix our brain dumps PEA when we identify someone who can:

1. Finish our childhood business.

2. Give us back what we lost to the socialization process of growing up.

Singles search for love armed with a list of qualities desired in a mate/lover, such as honesty, fidelity, loyalty, sense of humor, intelligence, warmth, etc. Yet when that person appears they say, He/she is a really nice person, but nothing clicked, just no “chemistry.”

Unfortunately, we hear that click when we recognize our original parent/child situation. That’s when our brain really gets those phenylethylamines and other chemicals moving.

Some people become veritable love junkies. They need chemistry or this chemical excitement to feel happy about and intoxicated by life. Once this initial rush of chemicals wanes (inevitable after six months to three years, depending on the individual and the circumstances), their relationship crumbles. They’re soon off again, detectives seeking a quick fix to their forlorn feelings: another chemical high from infatuation.

These love junkies also have one other problem. The body builds up a tolerance to these chemicals. Then it takes more and more chemistry to bring that special feeling of love. They crave the intoxication of chemistry and infatuation.

Many adults go through life in a series of six-month to three-year relationships. If these love junkies stay married, they are likely to seek affairs to fuel their chemical highs.

A persons pupils get bigger when they are aroused, interested and/or receptive. If you look into his or her eyes and see those pupils growing large – it’s looking good for you. Basically, big pupils (unless it’s just dark) mean a person likes what they see.

Try this experiment, and you’ll understand how immediate this effect can be. Go right now and look in the mirror at your own eyes. As you look at them, imagine a sexy man or woman you are attracted to – in whatever way would turn you on. You’ll see that your pupils get bigger in just seconds.

Actually, if you love to fish, they may get big just thinking about a lake you love. Anything you like to look at can make your pupils bigger. How do you use this knowledge to read minds?

First, watch for changing of pupil size to know if someone is interested in you or what you have to say. Shrinking or pupils generally mean the person is not interested. Be careful to note if light in the persons eyes is causing the shrinking pupils, or if a darkening room is causing the pupil enlargement.

Besides judging the general level of interest and/or receptivity to you, you can use pupil size to go a little deeper into a person’s mind. For example, during the course of a conversation, you could describe various scenes or delve into different topics, while watching the persons pupils. Suppose his pupils shrank at the mention of skiing, and got huge when you described a beach you like. You can be fairly certain they would like the Bahamas over a ski resort.

One thing about this little mind reading trick is that you can easily test it and refine your technique. Practice and read minds with a friend whose interests you know already. Just watch this or her pupils as you describe various places or even ideas. Try getting them to visualize, by saying something “Remember how that car of yours looked,” to see if that gets a bigger pupil response.

Watching a persons eyes doesn’t have to be limited to checking on that pupil size, though. Just by watching where those eyes go, for example, you can learn a lot. Notice what kind of women a man looks at. Is he paying any attention to the game on the TV? Does he seem bored or interested as he looks at different things? Reading eyes is a good start to reading minds.

But our Earth is no ordinay planet. Scientific studies over centuries have revealed many startling facts about our planet. Thease studies have solved many of the puzzles that seemed baffling not so long ago. We have now a reasonably good idea of how the Earth was formed, and how old it is. Scientists have used a wide range of techniques to look at the long history of our planet. They have found that the Earth’s continents are not fixed, but constanly on the Move; that the Earth’s atmosphere didnt’ always have life-giving oxygen; that modern humans didn’t appear on Earth till only a few hundred thousand years ago.

There are many more astounding facts about our blue planet… END’s

It is often said that science per se is neither ‘good’ nor ‘bad’, and that it is therefore ethically and morally neutral. Whilist this may be true of science as a process, it is the developments and applications that arise from the scientific process that pose the ethical questions. The examples that is often quoted is the development of the atomic bomb – the science was intresting and novel, and of itself ethically neutral, but the application (i.e. use of the devices in conflict) posed a completely different set of moral and ethical questions. Also science is, of course, carried out by scienctisits, who are most definitly not ethically and morrally neutral, as they demonstrate the same breadth and range of opinion as the rest of the human race. An assumption often made by the layman is that scientists and the scientific process are the same thing, which is unfortunate.

Despite the purist argument that science is in some way immune from ethical considerations, I beleave that to seperate the process from applications is an artifical distinction. in the developed world we live in societies shaped by technology, which is derived from the application of scientific discoveries. We must all share the responsibility of policing the new genetic technology.

Scientists and educators have not provided you with background knowledge you need to cope with the world of future. The aim of this Page is to allow you to aqquire that bakground – to fill in whatever blanks may have been left by your formal education. Our aim, in short, is to give you the information you need to become scientifically literate.
