Karma is a funny thing

In think the theme for the past few weeks has been karma or perhaps the benefit of being in a (spiritually or mentally) healthy work environment. I've been struck with a throat lurgy that only gets worse when I'm at a particular location. It gets so bad that I go home and start to feel better almost immediately.

In conversation with a friend at the gym we got to discussing yoga (as you do) and the kinds of energy a state of mind can conduct. Mental energy affects physical energy, I believe this to be true. So when I get physically sick from being in a certain building, do something that I no longer enjoy... Perhaps there is a metaphysical cause at work. My friend asked me about the lurgy, I said that I didn't know what it wanted yet (meaning that for colds and flu's get to a point where I crave a food or a smell or a location. And once I get said want, the lurgy starts to dissipate). then my friend said something really odd, 'Have you got what you want out of the lurgy yet?'.

It got me thinking. The answer is no, not yet (it will have by the end of this week).

Speaking of the lighter side of Karma, I liked this story HERE

Space Awesome Radio

When I've been on the radio, doing my thing, I would play a piece from the Brandenburg Concertos and introduce it with an anecdote about the Voyager space probes. As these craft leave the solar system they are broadcasting music from Earth to anybody who is able to hear it.
Just imagine what sort of impression you would get from hearing music as the first introduction to our civilisation. Hopefully a positive one.

Thus below we find the complete play list of both Voyage 1 and 2. An excellent selection, I'm sure you'll agree.
