For weeks I've been wanting to write about mind over matter, which a few people have asked me to. But it's difficult to write about mind over matter without also writing about neural plasticity and what neural plasticity is all about.

But see we've got to start with the basics - the basics of life and existence. So let's start from a position of common ground. Life - no matter how you perceive it and no matter how you're living it - is predicated entirely upon a relationship with an environment. If there is no environment life is not possible.
