I think that I am here to understand that I have no way to know why I am here...

Like reality checks exercises, I would suggest to just repeat over and over, during day time, what you plan to do at night.

And I usually have the same flying problem...  It takes me a lot of concentration (energy?) to get higher.  Maybe it is just a problem of doubting you can fly.

And, if you want to fly through the void, just let yourself fall backward through the ground...

Not sure if it might help but... did you try to use a thick pillow to straighten your head a little more?  Tried to do it in an armchair?

Maybe you could try some eyes exercises before trying...

Maybe you should check these videos...

For 1 year ago, I would never have belived my own words i posted to you right now, I would have laught at it!.

1 year...?  That's it?

Physicists in France have discovered a liquid that "freezes" when it is heated. Marie Plazanet and colleagues at the Université Joseph Fourier and the Institut Laue-Langevin, both in Grenoble, found that a simple solution composed of two organic compounds becomes a solid when it is heated to temperatures between 45 and 75°C, and becomes a liquid when cooled again. The team says that hydrogen bonds are responsible for this novel behaviour (M Plazanet et al. 2004 J. Chem. Phys 121 5031).

Solids usually melt when they are heated, and liquids turn into gas, although exceptions do exist when heating leads to chemical changes that cannot be reversed, such as polymerisation. However, a reversible transition in which a liquid becomes a solid when heated has never been observed until now.

Scientists in the United States have found that the right ear is better at picking up speech-like sounds and the left is more attuned to music, after studying the hearing of babies.

It has long been known that the right and left halves of the brain process sound differently.  However, those differences have been thought to stem from cellular properties unique to each brain hemisphere.  The new research suggests that the differences start at the ear...

Mom, a twin herself, has two boys, two girls

WYNNEWOOD, Pa. - A woman gave birth to two sets of identical twins — two boys and two girls — a rare occurrence even among quadruplets.

Geana and Kurt Morris, who also have a 2-year-old son, welcomed the four babies starting at 4:10 a.m. Friday.

The twins were born at 29 weeks gestation and are doing well, said officials at Lankenau Hospital in Wynnewood.

Firstborn James Russell weighed 3 pounds; Robert Wayne weighed 3 pounds, 11 ounces; Anna Rose weighed 3 pounds, 9 ounces; and Ella Kathleen weighed 2 pounds, 7 ounces.

Dr. Andrew Gerson, who delivered the babies, put the odds of such an occurrence at about one in 1 million quadruplet births.

There was another twist: Geana Morris, 34, who is also a twin, delivered the children on her birthday. "It's a very special 'birth' day for me," she said.

Switching off key gene turns layabout primates into keen workers.

Monkey tend to slack off just like humans.

Procrastinating primates can be turned into workaholics, thanks to gene therapy. The discovery, which sheds light on the workings of the brain's reward centre, may further our understanding of mood disorders, such as depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Like many humans, monkeys tend to slack off when their goal is distant, then work harder as a deadline looms. But when a key gene is turned off, the primates work hard from the word go

WASHINGTON - President Bush offered up a new entry for his catalog of "Bushisms" on Thursday, declaring that his administration will "never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people."

Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

No one in Bush's audience of military brass or Pentagon chiefs reacted.

Study finds behavior just as contagious as in humans

OKYO - Ai, a 27-year-old chimpanzee in western Japan, watches another chimp yawn, quickly rolls back her head and soon is showing the pink inside of her mouth in a gaping yawn of her own.

"It's another good example of how chimpanzees are so like us," said Tetsuro Matsuzawa, professor at the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University who took part in the Japan-based study.

The study, published this month in the British online journal The Royal Society Biology Letters, says that out of six chimpanzees under observation, two clearly yawned repeatedly in response to videos of other chimps yawning.

The Guilt-Free Soldier

soldier faces a drab cluster of buildings off a broken highway, where the enemy is encamped among civilians. Local farmers and their families are routinely forced to fill the basements and shacks, acting as human shields for weapons that threaten the lives of other civilians, the soldier's comrades, and his cause in this messy 21st-century war.

There will be no surgical strikes tonight. The artillery this soldier can unleash with a single command to his mobile computer will bring flames and screaming, deafening blasts and unforgettably acrid air. The ground around him will be littered with the broken bodies of women and children, and he'll have to walk right through. Every value he learned as a boy tells him to back down, to return to base and find another way of routing the enemy. Or, he reasons, he could complete the task and rush back to start popping pills that can, over the course of two weeks, immunize him against a lifetime of crushing remorse. He draws one last clean breath and fires.

Ministers consider vaccination scheme. Heroin, cocaine and nicotine targeted

Children to get jabs against drug addiction

A radical scheme to vaccinate children against future drug addiction is being considered by ministers, The Independent on Sunday can reveal.

Under the plans, doctors would immunise children at risk of becoming smokers or drug users with an injection. The scheme could operate in a similar way to the current nationwide measles, mumps and rubella vaccination programme.

Childhood immunisation would provide adults with protection from the euphoria that is experienced by users, making drugs such as heroin and cocaine pointless to take. Such vaccinations are being developed by pharmaceutical companies and are due to hit the market within two years.

TOKYO (Reuters) - People who like talking to their plants can now enjoy a musical accompaniment, thanks to a Japanese invention that turns petals and leaves into amplifiers.

Called the "Flower Speaker Amplifiers", the gadget made by Let's Corp is hidden in a vase or a potted plant and sends music at just the right frequency to vibrate up the stems and then be converted into audible sound by the plant as a whole.

For those who are just too competitive to relax by playing - Mindball is a game where two players control a ball with their brainwaves and the one who's the most relaxed wins.

This is how it works - The brain waves are detected by sensors attached to the headbands which are connected to a biosensor system.

The biosensor system, registers the electrical activity and the player who is the most relaxed can make the ball roll over to his opponent's goal with his brainw aves.

Hawking cracks black hole paradox

After nearly 30 years of arguing that a black hole destroys everything that falls into it, Stephen Hawking is saying he was wrong. It seems that black holes may after all allow information within them to escape. Hawking will present his latest finding at a conference in Ireland next week.

The about-turn might cost Hawking, a physicist at the University of Cambridge, an encyclopaedia because of a bet he made in 1997. More importantly, it might solve one of the long-standing puzzles in modern physics, known as the black hole information paradox.

A one-year-old Pakistani boy saw the world for the first time yesterday through an eye donated by an Indian.

Mohammed Ahmed gained partial vision after a difficult operation at the Agarwal Eye Institute in the southern city of Madras where another Pakistani child got a donor's eye six months ago.

Doctors said Ahmed, who was born blind, would get near-normal sight by the time he heads back to Karachi next week.

Implant used for epilepsy helps 50-year-old Texan

NEW ORLEANS - It took more than holding his breath or a scare to cure Shane Shafer of his hiccups.

After seven months of constant, bark-like hiccups, a first-of-its-kind operation has returned normal life to the 50-year-old Texas man.
