Introduction & Purpose

[Guest guest]

Have been on list list for a couple of weeks now. It's a really busy list,

and very interesting. Just realized that I've been doing so many posts,

that a proper introduction has been skipped.

 

I'm just a teacher. Remember, the original definition of the word " doctor " ,

is " teacher " . My home is in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I travel a lot, especially

to the Denver area and to New York. I have been a musician since childhood

-- but evolved into something more than that. I actually have been

practicing the ancient Bardic tradition for many years. This tradition was

once widespread throughout several ancient civilizations, and survived the

longest in Ireland and West Africa. Bards combine knowledge of history,

healing arts, and music in service of their communities. It took a long

time to figure this out, and the process of figuring out how to make this

mutually profitable to myself and a community is still going on.

 

I have done a lot of personal, informal research in the following areas:

Herbal Medicine, Effects of Music, Alternative Technology, Sympathetic

Vibratory Physics, Cultural Anthropology, Religion, and Energy Production.

One of my current projects is maintaining a small, informal, nonprofit

library called the Tesla Research Library of Cheyenne.

 

For several years I operated a small environmental consulting practice where

I went into homes and workplaces to find conditions that were compromising

health and well-being. This practice was closed less than a year after the

organization providing the majority of referrals went bankrupt. Much of the

knowledge behind this practice came from training given by the International

Institute of Bau-Biologie and Ecology. Bau-Biologie is the name of a German

discipline meaning " the biology of buildings " . I even travelled to Germany

in order to conduct more thorough research on their techniques and

fundamental assumptions.

 

Being part of this list is a sort of experiment, while I'm reorganizing my

life. I'm not trying to promote anything in particular here, but have found

the process of answering questions enjoyable. Perhaps some new friends will

emerge from this activity, and perhaps I will only be here a short time

until other activities pull me away.

 

I found this list through correspondence with Dr. Shillington on another

list. I have come to deeply respect him for his knowledge, kindness, and

compassion. Thanks go to him for starting and moderating this list. I'm

sure that if I have any apparent disagreement with him, I will most likely

just defer to him.
