This search for the primitive is surely one of the most remarkable features of our age. It’s as if we feared we had carried too far our experiment in rationalism, but wouldn’t admit it. And so we called forth other<BR/>cultures in exotic and disguised forms to administer all of those experiences suppressed among us.quantum retrocausalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356824142105136007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4459763654006375392.post-71025802687174578302008-08-17T23:33:00.000-05:002008-08-17T23:33:00.000-05:00When we taught the Biami how to use cameras, they ...When we taught the Biami how to use cameras, they found it difficult—at times impossible—to close one eye<BR/>at a time. There was much fumbling as they held down one eyelid with one hand while trying to hold and<BR/>operate a camera with the other. Sometimes friends assisted by holding down an eyelid allowing them the use of both hands. Closing one eye soon became a daily game. One morning a group approached us pushing one man ahead. He stepped forward grinned broadly and to the delight of his companions, closed one eye. Soon, the ‘Big Wink’ became a daily greeting.<BR/><BR/>The ability to close one eye at a time seems to be associated with literacy. Literacy involves a unique sensory pattern. It shatters the natural orchestration of the senses and permits far greater control over individual senses, especially when one sense is used in isolation.<BR/>- Ted Carpenterquantum retrocausalityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356824142105136007noreply@blogger.com
