Astrology Of The Chakras
Arts and Entertainment May 14th, 2008
It is well known to many of us by now that the “human energy field” is comprised of seven major energy centers or chakras that are located along the cerebral-spinal axis. Each of these centers acts as a substation or transformer of the universal energy or prana that flows through the medulla at the base of the skull. As the prana descends through the five lower chakras it is transformed or modified from it’s pure state. If the lower chakras are clear and free of negative impressions (trauma, suppression, etc.) then the prana is free to ascend back to the upper chakras leading to higher states of consciousness.
John Constable - A Short History
Arts and Entertainment May 10th, 2008
John Constable was born in 1776 in Suffolk. His father was a successful merchant. As a small boy he was encouraged by his teacher, the local plumber and his indulgent parents to practice drawing. He was educated at Dedham Grammar School and after a short stint in the family flour-milling business was allowed to study art. His father was keen for John to remain in the family business, but if not, at least go into church-work, but he was also a loving father and listened to John’s reasons. He convinced his father to allow him to study art at the Royal Academy in London in 1799 and his younger brother took over the family business.

See the point?
