It is known that the scent of fresh rosemary increases memory, but this cure for memory loss is not divulged by doctors to help the elderly. I also know that the most effective use of the blue lotus flower is not from its dilution with wine or tea – but from its scent. To really maximize the positive effects of the blue lily (or the pink lotus), it must be sniffed within minutes of plucking. This is why it is frequently shown being sniffed by my ancient ancestors on the walls of temples and on papyrus. Even countries across the Orient share the same imagery. The sacred lotus not only creates a relaxing sensation of euphoria, and increases vibrations of the heart, but also triggers genetic memory - and good memory with an awakened heart ushers wisdom.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["ailment","ancient-egyptians","ancient-medicine","awakened","awakened-heart","blue-lily","cure","cures","doctors","east","egypt","egyptians","elderly","enlightenment","euphoria","flower","flowers","fluids","genetic-memory","genetics","health","healthcare","heart","illness","illnesses","imagery-sacred","increaes-memory","lily","lotus","lotus-flower","medicine","memory","memory-loss","metaphysics","orient","papyrus","philosophy","physicians","pills","power","power-of-scent","power-of-smell","remedy","rosemary","sacred-lotus","scent","scripture","smell","smelling","tea","temples","tombs","treatment","vibrations","wine","wisdom"],"id":3575,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Philosophy is a bitter medicine with many fearsome side effects, but if you are able to stomach it, it can cure your soul of the many ills and infirmities of ignorance. Given the choice, most men prefer not to take it, and many of those who do soon find that they cannot carry on with it. In the end, they choose what is more pleasant over what is more wholesome, and prefer the society of those who encourage them in their follies to that of those who admonish and improve them. You, on the other hand, appear to be minded otherwise, for when a young men sets for himself the highest standards of education and conduct, he naturally shuns the company of mindless nobodies and boldly seeks out that of the singular men who are prepared to teach him and challenge him and exhort him to virtue. In time, by his strivings, he will come to realize that it is from the hardest toil and noblest deeds that the purest and most persisting pleasures are to be had, and, taking pity on other men, and thinking also of the gods, he will do everything in his power to share this precious secret.","author":"Neel Burton","tags":["medicine","philosophy","plato"],"id":5198,"author_id":"Neel+Burton"},{"text":"If your leg is in a cast, it's really dumb to sit in front of your computer doing unnecessary stuff with it hanging down.

Also, 'Why didn't you follow my orders and rest?' Your doctor will be right, and so will mine at my next office visit. Elevate, folk!
