Each month we take time to thank two of our good readers of Good Mountain Press Digest, books and reviews. Here's our two worthy Honored Readers for this month. One of their names will be in the TO: address line of your email Digest notification. Our Honored Readers for September are:
Out Our Way:
August was a busy month on the social scene. White Linen Night’s theme on the Julia St. Art Row was “la Nocha Tropicale” as I recall. Everyone wore white somethings and strolled Julia Street from one art gallery to another. We met a lot of friends along the way, but I was in a hurry to get home to watch the Saints beat the Vikings in a football game. Steve had a 40th birthday surprise party, Ted had a 50th [he was just surprised to still be alive!], our friend Georgia came in from Phoenix, we took my 82-year-old dad to a country dance at his request, we danced to the music of Allen Fontenot and his Country Cajuns at Michaul’s in a scene for our friend Doug Sadler’s movie, “Rider,”, and went to dinner at Houston’s to celebrate our 22nd anniversary with our good friends Brian and Judy. And that was just the first half of the month. In the second half we went to a Porch Party on Ursulines at Jim and Pam’s place where we danced to Hank and the Sinatras, caught Ted Graham’s set at Margaritaville in the Quarter, and second-lined to the Tuxedo Brass Band at the opening of the Westwego Museum on Sala Ave. To top the month off, our new grandson, Aidan Clark arrived in Bellaire, Texas to his proud parents, Yvette and Greg Clark.

EASE OF VIEWING NOTES [INCREASE FONT SIZE or ZOOM for Easy Reading]:
FONT SIZE for REVIEWS:
NOTE: For IE9 Browsers, DIGESTWORLD is best viewed at 100% Zoom using OPTIONS: Page, Text Size, Larger
The font size of new reviews has been increased to make reading easier. In IE7&8, you may wish to use 90% ZOOM if the text seems a bit large. (Older reviews will be upgraded as time permits.) In IE9, DIGESTWORLD Photos may overlap, if so, try the Larger TEXT SIZE, a new feature in IE9, which should have been standard in earlier versions.
PHOTO DESCRIPTIONS (Cursor Flyover Problems on some Browsers):
If you have been enjoying the photos in DIGESTWORLD, but have wondered who or what you were looking at, in Internet Explorer simply let your cursor fall stationary over the photo and the photo's description will appear. If your Mozilla Firefox or Netscape 7 browser doesn't provide this handy automatic display, you will need to Right Click on the image and Select the Properties box to view the description. We spend a lot of time providing these descriptions and hope you will read them.
For Firefox browsers here is a simple procedure for viewing DIGESTWORLD which will let you view descriptions by simply placing cursor over the photo. Note: If you did not choose the Open Link in IE Tab option when you installed Firefox, you will need to install the add-in now.
Open the DIGESTWORLD Reminder email while in Firefox.
Right click the link to DIGESTWORLD.
From the drop down menu choose Open Link in IE Tab.
Firefox will open the newsletter in an IE tab and the
photo captions will appear when you let your cursor rest
on the photo. This allows you to have a feature of IE while using
Firefox.
MAC users will be able to view captions if they use Firefox, but not if they use Safari. This is according a Good Reader who values the captions.
EASE OF READING TEXT:
We strive to make DIGESTWORLD issues viewable in all browsers and window sizes. Internet Explorer 9 has finally separated TEXT or FONT SIZE from the ZOOM function! With
Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), the ZOOM function was fixed to keep text on screen as you ZOOM to larger sizes. That's good news as my ARJ1 Reviews were never upgraded to fix this problem and now that is not necessary. If you put things off long enough, you don't have to do them, my German professor told me.
If some of the photos overlap in your browser try setting your text to a larger size. We use "Larger" setting in IE6 browser, and note that smaller sizes of text in some window sizes cause photos and text to overlap. In IE7/8, you can use CTRL+ to increase font size and CTRL- to decrease it using ZOOM function. If you use IE7's ZOOM function and have problems viewing a page, return temporarily to 100% and problem will disappear. Many of the alignment problems for ZOOM'ed pages have been fixed in IE8/9.

Check out the Doyletics Home Page for a new addition at the top of the main page,
http://www.doyletics.com/index.htm :
TOP TEN THINGS THAT PEOPLE WANT. Yes, shades of David Letterman, doyletics.com has a TOP TEN LIST. In that list, inspired by Larry Dotson in his May 22, 2000 article in Add Me! e-newsletter, a Top Ten List of things that motivate people appeared. With his permission (Thanks, Larry!) I adapted the list to create what’s called in cyber-jargon “a content-rich portal page” so that folks who search for things they really want will have a chance to find it using the sound scientific principles of doyletics. Note as you read the page that many words are highlighted in Red (or some other color). Each red word will take you to an explanation how you can use doyletics to achieve some goal you may have. Click on those red words and see what happens. Note how they take you immediately to the exact position within a given page at times.
Check the Basic Theory of Doyletics Page for new Material added in August. Look for (do a FIND): Stress-induced Modulation of the Immune System, Memory Transition Experiment, a #3 Footnote on the definition of “doyle,” and Stopper Doyles, among other things at:
http://www.doyletics.com/doyletic.htm
Questions about the Website, the World-Wide Doyletics List, etc? Check the FAQ page first for Answers to Frequently Asked Questions. Among the new questions are one about how to use the Plausibility Question to get information about the original event and one about phantom leg pain. My answer to the phantom leg pain question gives the best description to date of what doyles are. In essence, it says that doyles are the created impression of sensory experiences without need for the sensors being present at all! A cognitive memory is something happening now (in your mind) that actually happened before; a doylic memory is something happening now (in your body) that actually happened before.
Check the new traces added to the end of this page. Case histories of Migraine Headache traces and Example of what I call Unconscious Doyle Traces. Every therapist has examples of these – they are the simple cases that worked, so far as I see at this time – every successful therapy works because the person was maneuvered or womaneuvered to at/before the original event while holding a doyle.

Griffiths is a philosopher from Down Under and gets down under all the jargon about emotions, some of it very esoteric philosophical jargon, and sorts out the pieces for us. If anyone from William James to Darwin to Watson to Edelman to Damasio had anything to offer about emotions, Griffiths has a few words to say about it in this book, from the propositional attitude of Anthony Kenny to the sexual behavior of rhesus monkeys, among other things.
In this important book Steiner dealt with a subject so powerful and deep that he never finished the book, and thus it remained unpublished at his death about 1927. Ever have trouble understanding a particular passage of Steiner’s works or lectures? I know I have. And that’s one reason why this book is valuable – we have several versions of some passages he wrote in his attempt to better communicate his insights. How does computer hardware and software map onto the material and spiritual worlds? The answer will likely surprise you? It did me when the answer came to me. It’s all in the review.
You’ve heard about Milton Erickson, the great hypnotherapist? No, well, this is a good book for your introduction to his work. If you go to a great chef and ask how he bakes a cake, very likely he’ll answer you by baking a cake in your presence. When you went to Erickson to ask any question, he baked you. In this book, you can read how he baked Jeffrey Zeig.
What Steiner is teaching in this book is not Theosophy, but theo-sophy in the manner of the Rosicrucian. He makes the crucial distinction early in the book “between the actual discovery of spiritual truths and the understanding of them.”
[page 11] Clairvoyance is the necessary pre-requisite for the discovery of a spiritual truth, but only for its discovery. For a long time to come, nothing will be taught exoterically by any genuine Rosicrucianism that cannot be grasped by the ordinary, logical intellect. That is the essential point.
Is it possible for you to understand the spiritual world and its truths without being able to directly sense it? The answer is clearly, if you have an ordinary, logical intellect, YES.
Colum, in the striking images that arise from these pages, conjures up the voice of the blind poet Homer crooning, like an ancient Ray Charles, dark shades and all — moaning tales of love, heroism, and woe to the notes of his lyre for the gathered multitudes across the ages of time.
The Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner is full of insights and explanations for things that the written dogma of various churches have little explanations for. Ask for an explanation, and you get a platitude instead. Ask for evidence, and there is none available, so you are admonished to accept it on “faith” if you are to be a good Christian. Soon you get the impression that the church person you’re talking to thinks that something is “wrong” with you because of your questions. This reminds me of the wonderful story by Raymond Smullyen, “Planet Without Laughter”. On this planet everyone was serious and no one ever joked or laughed. Almost no one. There were a few strange ones who occasionally laughed and joked. They were called “laughers” and were promptly hospitalized. They were “treated” by injecting them with a drug that caused intense pain which caused them to scream constantly, and this cured the laughter. That something similar will happen in about 4,000 years to those who find their truths in Spiritual Science is no laughing matter.
[page 91] People imagine that those who strive to arrive at the truth by means of Spiritual Science can be met with the weapons of scorn and ridicule that often pass for criticism. In the Sixth epoch they will be treated medically!
I hear often from my Good Readers that they have bought books after reading my book reviews.
Keep reading, folks! As I like to remind you, to obtain more information on what's in these
books, buy and read the books — for less information, read the reviews.
The Spizznettm File – An Adventure in Inter-species Communication will be published by a division of Random House soon! In this science fact-fiction novel you’ll learn how dolphins speak “pictures” and how humans can create a way to speak to them. I’ll keep you posted on the book’s progress through the publication channels, and when you can buy a copy for yourself. Till it appears in your mail box, you’ll have to communicate with dolphins the old way – with clicks and whistles.
Note: To find out more about the novel, Read Section 10 of Digest below. It contained up-to-date information on how to order a copy.
We welcome your contributions to the support of the website and research into the science of doyletics. For our street address, email Bobby at the address found on this page: http://www.doyletics.com/bobby.htm. Every $25 contribution helps keep this website on-line for another month.

My reviews are not intended to replace the purchasing and reading of the reviewed books, but rather to supplant a previous reading or to spur a new reading of your own copy. What I endeavor to do in most of my reviews is to impart a sufficient amount of information to get the reader comfortable
with the book so that they will want to read it for themselves. My Rudolf Steiner reviews are more detailed and my intention is bring his work to a new century of readers by converting his amazing insights into modern language and concepts.
