Please correct the brief of this documentary.

“A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except faults,”

THOUGHTS, not FAULTS.

Thank you!

Everything comes from nothing. Modern Cosmology has just discovered this. Heisenbergs uncertainty principle says this. The energy of the Vacumn. The Eternal now. All is change. What can I say. This not it.

At the top of this page, under Zen: The Best of Alan Watts, the first line is incorrect. You have Watts saying, “A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except faults–”. It should be, “A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about but thoughts–” I have an audio tape of Watts saying this line, as proof.

I’m feeling much better now and the “hole” seems to be closing a bit. The antibiotics (and God’s mercy) seem to be working. It was a bit scary for a while.

Yes, I’ve seen some socking pictures doing research! I certainly don’t have what those sand flies transmit, and that is usually to women and children as the sand flies like to be in an enclosed area rather than in the open windy areas outdoors where the men often sleep. Utterly horrendously disfiguring. Very heartbreaking!

This is a staff infection (boil), I’m nearly sure now. My daughter also has some on her bottom and foot and earlobe, but certainly not like mine, thankfully. Nasty stuff! But she has a fever, so we need to make sure it’s not from the staff infection. Life in the Philippines is difficult sometimes!

I have seen people miraculously healed of things that even the doctors could not help like heart disease and cancer, but I also believe we need to avail ourselves of good healthcare when and where we can. And pray as well. Never leave God out of the equation. But I agree, Zen would not help.

P.S. The reddening in the other area seems to be lessening. Perhaps the boil will get better now, but I’m not sure how it will close that hole.

Seems like your wound is growing, apparently flesh eating disease called “Leishmaniasis” is on the rise, transmitted by sand flies, found in tropical countries and spreading, due to global warming. Since you do not have that, consider yourself lucky. Zen, and praying would not help.

Mr. Razor: Most Boils and type II necrotizing fasciitis are both caused by Staph infections (one of several possible bacteria). Staph can be a flesh-eating infection. I’m on oral antibiotics now but the hole is about the size of a small pea now. I hope it’s not a MRSA infection.

I’m glad I know how to pray. It’s a bit scary. I can’t find any pictures on the net that look exactly like it. Even the doctor was a bit surprised at how it looked and was worried it would go septic, but I don’t feel ill or feverish at all. I feel ok except for my leg.

A boil? I always pray, but I’ll also see a doctor as well. Perhaps you’re right. I thought boils had puss in them, but there doesn’t seem to be any “puss” coming out. It doesn’t seem to be growing at the moment. Well see what it looks like in the morning. We have a clinic litterally in our front yard where training doctors come twice a week to practice on poor people, Mondays and Thursdays, almost for free.

If I were in the US I’d say it as a bite from a Brown Recluse (perhaps a small one).

While working on building a rock wall a while back, i got bit by some spider(i suppose) and the thing got itchy, swollen, turning red and hard. They put me on an antibiotic iv at the hospital. You need treatment asap.

Don’t think any flesh eating bacteria is eating you up Charles.
sounds like you may have a boil.
Check your bedding, maybe you have some wild “demon” bugs up in your area, see what happens when demons are part of your life, they appear, yes? (LOL) anyway your symptoms sound like a boil. Swelling/inflammation, is not a good sign, forget about praying, see a doctor.

Actually I myself am not into any “Zen” stuff either.
