The love and the acceptance of the Marilins towards Cornellia was awesome, Here Cornellia is anyone that has a heart to know THE PRESENSE deeper and longs to be a blessing the fact that through all the hard work she could also become one of them In reality this much more reflects "the more you are open to receiving THE PRESENSE the more you will accomplish. To those who have more - more is expected - so in truthfulness it is way more a "fruitful harvest" than hard work. and being able to obtain the brightness all over as part of their being closer to THE PRESENSE This is unavoidable (and in fact it is the greatest honor of all) to reflect the attributes of THE PRESENSE in all you do. but were able to detect that getting closer to THE PRESENSE is one of my goals. I had no idea - and was not able to detect it at all - as the TRIP is mainly a reflection of my heart and soul and my deepest inner longings. As the character became more united with me - she took on all my longings and desires - and we became of one heart - one mind - fully complimenting each other.

The culmination of the trip in front of THE PRESENSE was beautiful and I am most grateful, as I strive to be a better person and do for others as one way of getting closer and closer to THE SOURCE. HE is everything and HE moves everything around us, so I was static reading about that experience. Then the trip really was designed for you - and anyone who thinks and lives like you THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE - THE TRUE UNDERLYING MEANING - and I'm thrilled you acknowledged it.
Then finalizing the story with Jimi coming back to life, I also felt part of your dream was becoming a reality. It would be the grand ending for me - but I am unusual (or unique) in that regard.

I guess that's a preview of what we'll see in real life after you retire, we'll all be waiting for the concert of concerts We can only hope someday I will have that opportunity.

I don't believe she drank it, she couldn't have, as she would not have wanted to forget the peace, calmness, tranquility and love she received from the Marilins, inside the Rings, and STEADY (talking about the computer here) that was an experience that would not repeat itself ever again, and she would not want to part with those wonderful memories. In fact, she would cherish them for many years to come.

Steady, thanks again for THE TRIP of all times!!!

STEADY - the computer - knew for sure she would not drink the beverage; but only offered it for Cornellia to prove herself - as she had proven herself over and over throughout the story. This gives her a much greater honor - and thus her rewards will multiply.

Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed and it was well worth the time.

I'm thinking about publishing my last story as a book
Would really appreciate everyone's input.

This is the beginning, which ties into pulling in the parking lot and seeing the building. I welcome any ideas.

Advancements in Artificial Intelligence began in the mid 1900s and shortly thereafter spurred the rapid development to build a computer based on the brain's design. STEADY is the grand finale of a century's worth of aggressive research and development. The ultimate culmination of merging the brain with the computer and by which the mysteries of the brain – the mind – were fully realized. By transforming our reality into worlds we could never know otherwise he gained full control. STEADY's knowledge of our emotional state has been consistently proven with every encounter and to date no one has ever finished a session unfulfilled. Regardless of whatever circumstances a person may encounter STEADY is able to bring anyone to the right frame of mind to experience a blissful state - enlightenment - tranquility.
The first Brain Computer startled the world by revealing intelligence far beyond the human brain, which was followed within 30 years with the Super Brain Computer (SBC)with more intelligence than all the human brains on Earth put together over the past eight thousand years.
STEADY was created by linking hundreds of SBCs scattered throughout the world together; forming the largest International Project ever developed. The goal was to make it as natural and undetectable as possible. The end result is a large circular room without a hint of machinery or technology but is thoroughly everywhere in the walls, floor, and ceiling.
STEADY's capabilities are unlimited. Expressions and emotions are gathered from the face, body, and movements. All activity in the brain on a cellular and molecular level is constantly monitored and every chemical interaction is fully known. Not only does STEADY know exactly "how you're feeling inside" but by using hundreds of Lasers scattered invisibly throughout the room specific cells are targeted to precisely control the brain's activity and thereby manipulate the senses to such an extent that anyone inside the room lives in 3D environments as real as anything they've ever experienced outside the room. The ability to totally regulate their moods is achieved by controlling all aspects of their environment.
STEADY was named for its ability to maintain Consistency. There is always the undeniable reality that every chemical interaction is being monitored and adjusted in the most precise terms possible. A steady perfect flow regulates all moods and appropriately strengthens or weakens their memories and experiences.
STEADY's creator admired Jimi Hendrix and made him in his likeness. In the end he was able to link STEADY to his own brain and represent himself as Jimi in both real life and the holographic image that exists in his absence. Whenever you are with STEADY you are with Jimi - and that never changes - always the same through and through.

Morning Steady-I thought of you immediately when I read this am about research on jazz improv musicians and brain region activity. Some folks know by now that playing music can forestall, delay development of Alzheimers-maybe its the type of music they play that really makes a difference?http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080310/..._brain_on_jazz

The Brain is amazing - and our understanding has grown by light years over the past 20 years.

Learning a "new language" for instance is most easily achieved at a much younger age than most people realize. Now that we know why this younger age is such a crucial period to take advantage of EVERYONE - THROUGHOUT THE WORLD - SHOULD STRIVE TO PUSH TOWARDS THIS ENDEAVOR AND FLOW WITH THE BRAIN'S NATURAL DEVELOPMENT. We would then know other languages without an accent - and our brain would develop more fully.

Alzheimer's Disease is based on a specific protein that mainly loses its shape. The treatments in the near future will prevent the protein from losing its shape and thus stop the process. Learning to play an instrument (say a GUITAR) - especially in a wide variety of styles is very good for the brain.

Anyway, thanks my friend. Have a wonderful day

Steadygain,

As your friend, I encourage you to explore publishing your writing. I finally had a chance to reread your story and I found it interesting, engaging, and last but not least, well-written (that's the English teacher in me; I'm sorry, but it's important that what you write is well-written, especially if you want to publish). As you know, I have dabbled at writing in the past, was never published and I don't do it much now, but I am envious of your ability to sit down and write to the extent you do in between seeing patients! You are very imaginative and creative, and you have the ability to put it in writing and connect with the reader. That's no small feat.

I'm glad to see you back at your groove and trip pad. I don't know if you are much of a folk music enthusiast, but I thought of you and Cornelia while watching a special on PBS about Pete Seeger. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would encourage you to watch it if you get a chance. He has not lost any of his idealism even though he's about 90 years old, he still goes out and sings to passing by cars, "Bring them home". He says to think globally and act locally - he's a true inspiration!

You mention here the Alzheimer's Disease is based on a specific protein that mainly loses its shape.

I was talking with someone sometime back who works with the elderly and this Disease and had mentioned that they seen actual comparisons of the brain by x-ray. The before and after.

What I am getting at here is, you mention this protein. They were saying this gland in the brain actually disapears as the Alzheimer's gets worse.

I have never done any deep research on this Disease, but just wondering if this is the same thing as what you are saying of this protein losing its shape or disapearing?

Anyhoo, I thought this was interesting when I was told this, because I had never known that or heard of this Gland/Protein actually disapearing.

Thanks for any feedback with this.

That's correct. It is one Protein targeting a specific region of the brain.

It is like "rust deposits" - where Brain Imaging reveals it well.

What I am getting at here is, you mention this protein. They were saying this gland in the brain actually disapears as the Alzheimer's gets worse.

Well, that's close. It's not a gland - but the area of the brain where the deposits accumulate BECOME more "the malformed protein" in place of healthy tissue.

I have never done any deep research on this Disease, but just wondering if this is the same thing as what you are saying of this protein losing its shape or disapearing? I think I just answered that one. It is not that a part of the brain disappears - it is that the worthless protein keeps accumulating - and that is the underlying problem. So we're attacking this disease on many different levels.

The most facinating Brain Imaging Studies reveal those suspectible to this disease have all the evidence by the age of 20. We can tell which brains are predisposed way before the disease kicks in. So the best solution would be a vaccine - or protein stablizer - to those likely to acquire it later on in life.

Anyhoo, I thought this was interesting when I was told this, because I had never known that or heard of this Gland/Protein actually disapearing.

Thanks for any feedback with this.

Making the "bad" protein disappear is the ultimate goal; eventually we're bound to determine the GENETIC BASIS behind the problem and when Genetic Therapy Takes over - we will be able to cure and prevent many diseases like this one - WITHOUT A PERSON EVER NEEDING TO TAKE A MEDICATION. Pharmaceutical Industries won't be happy about this - BUT - This would eliminate the dependence of Medications and their side effects. Presently we have 2 classes of Medications for AD - which each last about 1 year. So it is a disease characterised as "a sliding board" - take a pill and it stops the slide about 1 year - then keeps going down the board.

Thank you my beautiful angel - honestly I very much appreciate your support and kindness. I will probably work on the final draft fairly soon. It turned out better than I thought; flowed way more than I could have imagined; especially since from one day to the next I just wrote off the top of my head - having no idea where I was going.

As you know, I have dabbled at writing in the past, was never published and I don't do it much now, but I am envious of your ability to sit down and write to the extent you do in between seeing patients!

You have nothing to be envious about my love - honestly - your story about your father was beautiful - a true work of art. Your genuiness - your true sincerity - are heavily displayed in all your posts. You have a beautiful heart Mamikin, you really are a wonderful lady and that makes your writting like nuggets of gold.

I think writing my story in between patients is why it turned out so well - I really did not have time to dwell on it or ponder/review - instead it was the outpouring of my thoughts/emotions and simply letting it go. That Cornelia was the main character was a huge motivator - along with Jimi comming to life. So in my anxiousness to finish the story it all fell together really fast.

I think you'd like my next one even more - if you want one.

You are very imaginative and creative, and you have the ability to put it in writing and connect with the reader. That's no small feat.

If that reader happens to make me dance in circles around the room and fills me with the joy of knowing her daughter can take her meds on a regular basis and not have to deal with the BS - then I'm thrilled. THANK YOU!! My sweet one - I would say I am fortunate for being imaginative and creative; but I see you the same way.

I'm glad to see you back at your groove and trip pad.

Thank you, anytime you want to float away on a magical adventure just let me know.

I don't know if you are much of a folk music enthusiast, but I thought of you and Cornelia while watching a special on PBS about Pete Seeger.

Folk music is my grounding; my deepest roots. I began with acoustic guitar (Dylan; Peter, Paul, and Mary; The MaMas and PaPas; and all the others - Pete Seeger as well) Once Hendrix took over; especially after his death then the electric dominated everything.

I thoroughly enjoyed it and would encourage you to watch it if you get a chance. He has not lost any of his idealism even though he's about 90 years old, he still goes out and sings to passing by cars, "Bring them home". He says to think globally and act locally - he's a true inspiration!

Got a patient waiting - wanted to say a little more. Anyway - thank you very much for your encouragement - you're one of the best friends ever

I am not sure what kind of imaging they were talking about. This was just a short conversation at the time and I did not pursue deeper.

I guess what I am saying is, that they were saying this area of the brain that deals with Alzheimer's actually goes Poof and gone eventually.

They way you are explaining it here it seems to me is, that this area of the brain is getting covered up by this bad protein? So, I guess it would look as though this area has disappeared then?

That is why I was questioning this in regards to the explanation I had gotten. This area is still there, just not being seen because of the accumulating bad protein.

Just wanted to see if I have gotten this straight with this disappearing situation is all.

Thanks for the info and all.

NO; Schizophrenia works like that - THE GREY MATTER DISAPPEARS; but AD is simply "bad proteins" getting lost in an area of the brain that was healthy. The more the bad protein accumulates (which is what happens) THE WORSE the condition.

They way you are explaining it here it seems to me is, that this area of the brain is getting covered up by this bad protein? The area is getting filled with the protein - so the area that was healthy and functioning well - is now unhealthy and malfunctioning.

So, I guess it would look as though this area has disappeared then?
Unfortunately - you started your thought with the "BELIEF THAT PART OF THE BRAIN DISAPPEARED" "POOF - IT'S GONE" - but that belief does not match reality and so my explanation may be more difficult to understand.

That is why I was questioning this in regards to the explanation I had gotten. This area is still there, just not being seen because of the accumulating bad protein. The area is actually being seen in a different light - instead of healthy brain tissue - you now see heavy deposits of the "bad protein" scattered throughout the affected area.

Just wanted to see if I have gotten this straight with this disappearing situation is all. No - you were misled - as was he; it may be the particular brain image made it appear this way - but that part of the brain is still there in real life - it is just plagued with the bad protein.

Thanks for the info and all.

I hope I explained it better this time. Sorry if I'm not communicating well but normally I'm very rushed and have to type as fast as possible and not have time to read what I'm saying.

Anyway - thanks for asking - hope I helped.

Have a great day

Thanks Steadygain

This does clear it up for me with your added explanation here.

I just wanted to get some more insight to this from you to see what I was missing and all.

I know there is much research and effort going into this Disease and hopefuly in the not to distant future they can get a handle on this thing.

Your time and effort with this is much apprecitated.

Thank You
