Kirlian Photography

Conclusions from Kirlian photography
I had never heard of kirlian photography before and I’m not sure how to interpret the photography process which produce the images, but I think it makes perfect sense that organisms would have an energy field emanating from them. But based on what I read, I’m not sure how one would be sure how the glowing field is actually produced. I would love to see it in person! The results have been controversial the article said, but I think people in various fields have been saying this for a long, long time. Kirlian photography illustrates ancient notions that have come from traditions like the Sufi or Hindu and Buddhist accounts of metaphysics, cosmology, yoga and meditation.
One person who comes to mind after reading the article about auras and kirlian photography, is Dora van Gelder Kunz. She was born with clairvoyant faculties and could see a person’s aura. The Personal Aura, written by Dora and includes color drawings of people’s auras that Dora could see. Dora was an amazing person and healer and together with Dr. Dolores Krieger developed a technique called Therapeutic Touch. TT is a practice that seeks to restore balance and order to one’s energy field.

8/8/18 Bionics: The development of a bionic person and it's use in the military

8/8/18 Supporting Bionics for Humans? My first feeling about this topic is that I would support the option of bionics for humans in need of limbs, in place of old prosthetic limbs that have previously existed. I have not had to worry about this personally for myself or any of my family members, but I imagine that for someone who does, advances in science in this field are really important for having a more functional, happy life. I had a childhood friend who didn’t need a prosthetic limb, but was disabled and needed braces from the waist down as a child to assist with walking. These things were heavy, stiff, ugly and just archaic! It sounds like newer developments are moving toward more sophisticated options that are more accessible for average people. The UK based tech company mentioned in our readings is using 3-D printing technology to create prosthetic limbs which are more affordable. This sounds like a good thing. Especially for a child, being mobile and being able to do t...

7/30/18 I know I am a living system because..... Wow! Crazy how things can become not so black and white when you begin to look into what is considered a living thing. According to NASA, all living things share a carbon based chemistry, depend on water, or leave behind a fossil with carbon or sulfur isotopes that point to a past metabolism. Scientists struggle to define "life." From what I have read so far, it seems like something could be considered living and have certain characteristics of life, while others may be "alive"  and have slightly different characteristics. Crystals are interesting. They can grow and respond to stimuli but lack a nervous system. I believe there are many different forms of life and we can see things as living that are not what we would expect. In a Native American perspective even rocks are infused with spirit, is that a living thing?
