The Twisted Hairs Rhizome "Twisted Hairs" refers to those who take knowledge from many sources and weave it together, synthesizing and formulating "braids of truth." Over the centuries these "braids" are tried and tested. Those that are found to be valid and in alignment with sacred law are retained and added to the ever growing body of knowledge. Those that do not hold up under such rigor are discarded. So it has been for millennia within these ancient traditions of learning and journeying toward human enlightenment. Deer Tribe

Fractal Documentary "No one travels quite so high as he who knows not where he is going." Oliver Cromwell said it. The MOQ [Metaphysics Of Quality] explains it by saying that knowing where you are going is always static. Real art is not knowing where you are going, but are listening intently to something you don't understand. And if your ego doesn't interfere, this something you don't understand may guide you to much more than you ever expected. Robert Pirsig, October 2009

I'm only taking credit for what I do with it, for the arrangement of the samples, the way they're put together and manipulated." ( Ostroff, 2002 ) And for some of us, is there anything finer than intelligent and stimulating written discourse while sitting with the morning cuppa?

Fox Talks, Trickster Mix “Here, in ancient mythology,” writes Horowitz, “is the relationship between genesis, genetics, and the spoken word. Also implied is the concept of wholistic health hinging on oral functions.” Horowitz points out that neurophysiologists have determined that fully "one-third of the sensory-motor cortex of the brain is devoted to the tongue, oral cavity, the lips, and speech. In other words, oral frequency emissions (i.e., bioacoustic tones) spoken, or sung, exert powerful control over life, vibrating genes that influence total well-being and even evolution of the species." Dr. Leonard Horowitz
