<p>In his well known quote,<br />
&#8220;Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food&#8221;, Hippocrates offered very insightful wisdom to live by.  However, very few people experience food as medicine on Earth.</p>
<p>Why is this so?</p>
<p>The majority of people today are Malnourished, Dehydrated, Constipated, Congested, Allergic, Fatigued, Depleted, Diseased, etc.</p>
<p>They have become disconnected from our Earth by ingesting lifeless food and synthetic substances into their immaculate living, breathing, pulsing bodies.  They desire to be healthy and are confused and overwhelmed by the complexity of all the options to regenerate their health.</p>
<p>The wisdom I have discovered and live in my own life is so profoundly powerful, amazing and simple that it can resolve the symptoms listed above by nourishing your body at the cellular level and liberate you free into sustainable health vitality.</p>
<p>Through my over 15 years of extensive experience in nutrition, health and disease I have a significant revelation to share.  I have devoted and dedicated thousands of hours and thousands of dollars studying and applying the wisdom of Dr. Gabriel Cousens, Dr. Patrick Flanagan, David Wolfe, René Quinton, Charlotte Gerson, Donna Gates, Brigitte Mars, Truth Calkins,<br />
and Daniel Vitalis to arrive to this revelation.</p>
<p>Here is the Revelation!<br />
Are you ready?</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
For food to be thy medicine, the form, quality and quantity of our food is everything. This is the essential element Hippocrates left out.</p>
<p>In this last 5 years I have and continue to experience my body deeply nourished at the cellular level by way of a medicinal nutritional program I have crafted called the Living Liquid Nutrition Lifestyle Program.<br />
</font></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Only a few people understand this extraordinary wisdom. These few are now in their 80&#8242;s and very vital and disease free. To be living sustainably in vital health here in 2011 and beyond, we must evolve the way we nourish our body.</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />

Testimonials&#8230;<br />
</font></p>
<p>“Dalkoiya with his knowledge and ability to implement his healing through Ascended Vitality is an incredible contribution to our collective next level of health and healing.  I went through an intense loss and trauma, and knew I needed more than what I knew; it had to be nutritional, and vibrational.  I spoke with Dalkoiya and he mixed, blended, and suggested a regime which I am 100% sure allowed me to survive my intense loss and understand that suffering is a choice,<br />
not a situation, and it allowed me to be healthy through it all, not a victim. It brought me to an expanded awareness of myself, in all ways. I am forever grateful.  And extremely happy and healthy!”<br />
- Lori Ann David, Designer – Contractor – Artist</p>
<p>“Wow, I am in awe of the shift that has occurred within me since starting Dalkoiya’s Living Liquid Nutrition Lifestyle Program.  My energy level has increased tremendously and my appetite has decreased, whereas before I would have to be eating all day and always feeling hungry and tired.  My desire for cooked food has radically been reduced.  My mental clarity is much clearer with an over all sense of well being.  Dalkoiya’s guidance has drastically impacted my experience.  I can’t imagine living in any other way now.  I now see why this is a lifestyle program,  it is not just about changing your food preferences it is about changing your consciousness.”<br />
- Sarah Kane, founder of Kindalooney Yoga</p>
<p>“Dalkoiya has helped me and my family tremendously with his stellar wisdom and experience in nutrition as a way to healing. As a result of two serious health challenges, frustrated with western medicine, I had been on the natural health path for over a decade. Deep down I knew there was another level of health. With Dalkoiya&#8217;s guidance and my commitment to do what he says, I feel better than I have in 5 years.  I am also very thankful to say that my son who has several rare health challenges is looking and feeling healthier as well.  If you are ready to be radiantly healthy then Dalkoiya&#8217;s nutritional program is for you!”<br />
- Andrea Ormond,  Mother &#8211; Author</p>

René Quinton<br />
</font></p>
<p>(1866-1925) was a renowned and beloved French Doctor, Biologist, Biochemist, Physiologist and Humanitarian. Quinton was committed to answering the profound question, &#8220;Where Did All Life Begin?&#8221; The idea that all life on earth was a product of a single-celled oceanic organism fascinated him.</p>
<p>It was this question that led Quinton to explore unique oceanic environments to find the answer. What he found was plankton, the single-celled microcosm of life, springing to life in vortex-shaped plankton &#8220;blooms&#8221; (or colonies) that stretched a hundred miles across.</p>
<p>In seeking to discover the relationship of the simple single-celled plankton to the incredibly complex cellular structure of the human body, Quinton stumbled upon the amazing properties of the ocean water within the vortex plankton bloom. He found that plankton secrete a fluid as they wander, and that fluid, mixed with the surrounding seawater, had profound implications for human health. He called it marine Plasma , and by 1897 Quinton had developed the protocol for harvesting, processing and administering it to effect unprecedented results.</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
&#8220;Today, forward-thinking scientists are beginning<br />
to understand what René Quinton knew 100 years ago:<br />
that marine plasma has the power to regulate our own<br />
&#8220;internal ocean&#8221; as it informs our genetic potential<br />
and guides our very evolution.&#8221;<br />
- Roy Dittman, OMD<br />
</font></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Marine Plasma contains in all 78 minerals, trace minerals and co-factors that the human body needs, in almost the exact ratios in which we need them. Additionally, all minerals and nutrients found in marina Plasma are in their crystalloid mineral state, which means that everything valuable for us in marine Plasma is immediately and completely bio-available to us &#8211; no additional internal breakdown or processing needed! Quinton discovered that his marine Plasma could act as a balancing factor in the human body; and as the body comes into balance (or &#8220;homeostasis&#8221;), it is able to heal, regenerate and rejuvenate in astounding ways.</p>
<p>Quinton traveled around the world caring for the sick with what was rapidly becoming known as &#8220;Quinton Plasma. &#8221; With it he successfully helped hundreds of thousands of adults and children suffering from a mind-boggling array of health challenges related to a deficient, or imbalanced internal biological terrain. The list of conditions positively impacted by treatment with Quinton Marine Plasma goes on and on.</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
&#8220;Marine Plasma doesn&#8217;t attack any particular microbe,<br />
except that it gives the organic cell the<br />
strength to fight all of them.&#8221;<br />
- René Quinton<br />
</font></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Quinton defined the Law of Osmotic Constancy at the end of the nineteenth century. Our inner environment, the liquid in which all our cells are bathed, has almost identical mineral composition and concentration with diluted ocean water, and responds to constant osmotic interchanges with the intra- and extra-cellular environments. </p>
<p>Inspired by the stunning clinical results achieved with his ocean Plasma, Quinton was one of the financiers behind the Wright Brothers&#8217; race to make air flight a reality. Quinton wanted to be able to bring ocean Plasma to the sub-Saharan children in Africa suffering from dysentery, cholera, and dehydration. His dream was cut short when he was drafted into the French army during WWI. He later died in 1925 from war wounds.</p>
<p>When René Quinton passed away, he was a French national hero. It is estimated that as many as one million people from all around the globe attended his funeral. In fact, in October, 2004, the French Ministry of Science and Health celebrated 100 years of Quinton science by holding a world symposium on the historical and contemporary oral use of Quinton Plasma.</p>

<p>I am inspired and thankful to be sharing several clips from<br />
an extraordinarily amazing film both in content and production<br />
titled, &#8220;House of Numbers&#8221;. A film revealing the pure<br />
truth about HIV and AIDS.</p>
<p>As you will see in the first video clip (trailer) below, there<br />
are varying perspectives both in the medical community<br />
and in the public about HIV and AIDS.</p>
<p>In the second video clip you will see an interview with<br />
Dr. Luc Montagnier, MD the 2008 Nobel Laurette for discovery of HIV<br />
offers the belief and perspective that HIV can be healed<br />
through vital nutrition.</p>
<p>Most of my work as a Visionary Nutritionist is educating<br />
and guiding clients with major imbalances such as HIV into<br />
an empowered state of sustainably vital health by means of<br />
Cellular Revitalization, Bioavailable Nutrition<br />
and Nutritive Cleansing &#8211; Detoxing.  </p>

<p>Recently whilst consulting with a client who has Stage 4 Cancer<br />
I immersed myself more extensively into some on-going research I began<br />
several years ago.  Many blessings and discoveries have emerged here.</p>
<p>I discovered a wonderful film titled &#8220;Hemo the Magnificent&#8221; by Frank Capra<br />
in 1957 in my current research.  This film reveals what I feel<br />
is an essential ingredient to cellular vitality and<br />
evolutionary longevity. </p>
<p><font size="4" face="Gill Sans"><br />
&#8220;The two words that best describe you and connect you to<br />
the mystical origins and traditions of life are?&#8221;<br />

&#8220;The oceans contain the homeostatic blueprint of life &#8211; the original<br />
genetic code that has and is governing evolution.  The mineral, nutritional<br />
and genetic information found in marine plasma may &#8220;recharge&#8221; the<br />
extra-cellular fluid, thus enhancing cellular communication.&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br/></p>
<p>The other day I was in a state of wonder about what would be wonderfully<br />
inspiring and valuable to share with you.  Hmmmmmmm?  The message I heard<br />
from my guides was, &#8220;share my experience about healthy teeth and a healthy<br />
mouth; a lot of people are struggling with their teeth, spending a lot of money,<br />
know there must be a better way than what the dentist is saying,<br />
and sincerely need some good guidance&#8221;.  </p>
<p>All my life I have enjoyed a healthy mouth and healthy teeth with the exception<br />
of a cavity as a youngster.  I attribute this to passionate care for my mouth<br />

What contributes to Unhealthy Teeth?<br />

	•	Drinking polluted water<br />
	•	Flouride </p>

The health, vitality and purity of your diet is directly<br />
related to the health of your teeth.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></br><br />
</br></p>
<p>Over four years ago I purchased a pair of VivoBarefoot Dharmas by Terra Plana.<br />
A revolutionary pair of shoes that have forever awakened my life<br />
and connection to the Earth as I move about step by step.</p>
<p>At the time, I was a Senior Designer in the footwear industry<br />
traveling for inspiration.  I was at a stage of evolution in my life where<br />
I was ready for more than a shoe that was just aesthetically appealing.<br />
I was ready for a sustainable shoe that was vogue,<br />
healthy for my body and our earth.<br />
A very rare shoe!</p>
<p>When I first encountered the VivoBarefoot Dharma I wasn&#8217;t yet aware<br />
of the sustainable significance of these shoes and the company Terra Plana<br />
and neither was the store clerk in the gallery style boutique.  I was inspired<br />
by the Dharma and all I needed to do was put them on and walk around.<br />
Wow, I feel more present and connected than I have ever felt<br />
in a pair of shoes!  This is the closest alternative<br />
to being barefoot yet.  </p>
<p>I absolutely believe in the importance of walking barefoot on the Earth<br />
as often as possible, though walking barefoot in the urban world<br />
where there are all kinds of sharp elements often unseen<br />
to the eye isn&#8217;t appealing to me. </p>
<p>The soles of the VivoBarefoot contain a weave of Duratex<br />
ensuring resistance to almost any punctures.  This material<br />
also allows the soles to be quite thin creating an intimate<br />
closeness and sensitivity as you walk.</p>
<p>What about Vibram Five Fingers some of you reading this<br />
may be wondering?  Wonderful shoes as well<br />
serving a different purpose.</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
Why I love the VivoBarefoot Dharma!<br />
</font></p>
<p>	•	Stengthen the muscles in your feet<br />
	•	Realign your posture<br />
	•	Stimulate sensory perception<br />
	•	Protection of normal shoes<br />
	•	Health benefits of going barefoot<br />
	•	They are simple and easy<br />
	•	A truly quality shoe</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
Why I love Terra Plana!<br />
</font></p>
<p>	•	A remarkably conscious and sustainable footwear design company.<br />
	•	They offer the most inspiring life cycle and ecological ethics I have seen.<br />
	•	They rate all their shoes according to an Eco Matrix which is based on the 5 Senses<br />
	•	They consulted with a Podiatrist to create an ergonomic footbed.<br />
	•	Offer a dynamic range of vogue footwear designs for Women + Men + Kids.</p>
<p></br><br />
</br></p>
<p>Below is an inspirational video intimately revealing Terra Plana&#8217;s process&#8230;</p>
<p></br><br />
</br></p>
<p><object width="500" height="306"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7gAmMwj0VqM?version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7gAmMwj0VqM?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="306" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p></br><br />
</br></p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
&#8220;An inflexible shoe effectively splints the foot<br />
and prevents it from its natural range of movements.<br />
As a result the arch of the foot often becomes<br />
weak and collapsed since the muscles are<br />
no longer exercised.&#8221;<br />

<p><br/></p>
<p>I invite you to just pause for a few breathes<br />
and observe the image above of the bees.<br />
Notice the colors + shapes + vibration&#8230;.   </p>
<p>Our friends, the Bee are an amazing miracle!<br />
The Bee blesses us with their Pollen which is an extraordinary<br />
source of Spiritual or Cosmic Nutrition.</p>
<p>Our great ancestors referred to Bee Pollen as &#8220;The Golden Coin&#8221;<br />
+ &#8220;The Life-Giving Dust&#8221; + the &#8220;Ambrosia&#8221; eaten to acquire<br />
eternal youth. Pollen was entombed with pharaohs, it was used<br />
by the American Indians, and for centuries by tribes in China. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s expand more intimately into the Bee itself a little.<br />
I invite you to remember that I view the universe and nutrition<br />
as Light + Vibration + Frequency + Sound + Energy =&#8217;s Symmetry!</p>
<p>Viewing the mastery of the Bees from the architecture of their<br />
hive, we see each cell is six-sided or a hexagram.  The genius<br />
and mysticism of this geometrical shape is one of the most<br />
efficient forms in our cosmos.   </p>
<p>The Bee is an evolved and empathic life form tuned to our<br />
Earth&#8217;s magnetic field, light and Optic Flow (measure of<br />
movement across the visual field).  They rely on the<br />
sun as their primary navigation source.  What this reveals<br />
is a glimpse into the profound intelligence of what is<br />
encoded in each serving of Pollen we ingest. </p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
&#8220;Bee Pollen is one of the most nutritious foods on Earth.&#8221;<br />
</font></p>
<p>&#8211; David Wolfe, author of &#8220;The Sunfood Diet Success System&#8221;</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>The question I am asked most often by people as I speak to groups<br />
and in private consultations is, &#8220;Where do I get my protein Dalkoiya&#8221;?<br />
Ask and you shall receive always!  Bee Pollen is the most astounding<br />
source of protein I have discovered in my research thus far. </p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
Gram for gram,<br />
Bee Pollen is more vital<br />
in proteins and contains more amino acids<br />
than any animal protein source including<br />
meat, eggs, or cheese!<br />
</font></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>The are many unique qualities to Bee Pollen as a protein source.<br />
One, it is an Alkaline forming food, whereas most protein<br />
sources are acid forming.  Two, the protein in Pollen<br />
is predigested which is easy for the human physiology<br />
to assimilate with grace and ease.  The significance<br />
here is that your body receives this protein quickly<br />
and efficiently which is not the case when<br />
ingesting animal based proteins.</p>
<p>Pollen is also vibrantly abundant in trace minerals, such<br />
as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, manganese, potassium,<br />
copper, silicon, sulphur choline, titanium, and sodium. <br />
These minerals are bound organically from plant metabolism<br />
which means they are amazingly assimilable for our bodies.<br />
This also means that we preserve our life energy and extend<br />
our longevity as we digest this nutrient dense food, which<br />
is a significant factor to consider.</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
Mineralization is a great key to longevity&#8230;.<br />
</font></p>
<p><br/></p>
<p>Extensive medical research has revealed that Bee Pollen contains<br />
more than 5000 different enzymes and co-enzymes.  This my friendly<br />
readers exceeds all other foods in existence!  This high amount of<br />
enzymes, such as catalase, amylase, and pectin-splitting enzymes,<br />
make pollen and aid to digestion.  </p>
<p>I am feeling so enthusiastic + grateful writing this article for you.<br />
I feel the Bees channeling through my fingers!<br />
Ok, here are more inspirational facts about the<br />
benefits of this truly Cosmic Food&#8230;..  </p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
Bee Pollen is a phenomenal vegetarian source of&#8230;&#8230;<br />
</font></p>
<p>	•	human-active B12<br />
	•	most of the B vitamins<br />
	•	vitamins A, C, D, and E<br />
	•	all the essential amino acids<br />
	•	essential fatty acid called linoleic acid<br />
	•	healthy fats<br />
	•	complex carbohydrates<br />
	•	simple sugars<br />
	•	Rutin (anti-inflammatory &#038; improves circulation)<br />
	•	RNA and DNA<br />
	•	steroid hormone substances<br />
	•	15% lecithin</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
Possible physiological benefits to ingesting Bee Pollen&#8230;&#8230;<br />
</font></p>
<p>	•	Increase muscle growth and definition<br />
	•	Enhances antioxidant activity<br />
	•	Boosts energy and stamina<br />
	•	Strengthens blood capillaries<br />
	•	Enhances sexuality<br />
	•	Extends longevity<br />
	•	Sustained states of wellness</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
Possible Spiritual benefits to ingesting Bee Pollen&#8230;&#8230;<br />
</font></p>
<p>	•	Greater connection to the Sun (key source of life energy)<br />
	•	Feeling more connected to the natural world as a whole<br />
	•	Greater alignment to the Earth&#8217;s magnetic field<br />
	•	Heightened sense of intuitive navigation<br />
	•	Increased awareness of distance and depth perception<br />
        •	Experience a state of relaxation around bees vs fear</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
Some Helpful Reminders&#8230;&#8230;<br />
</font></p>
<p>	•	Bee Pollen is the most prevalent Superfood in America<br />
	•	Purchase bee pollen local to your home region<br />
	•	Keep your bee pollen refrigerated</p>
<p><br/></p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
All beings of nature simply require nutrients<br />
vibrant with nature&#8217;s wisdom that are pure<br />
and unaltered to thrive!<br />

<p>In September of 2007 I first encountered a wondrously astounding<br />
fractal image revealing the visuals of an EEG technology called BrainPaint.<br />
I was so inspired I placed this image on my manifestation wall.<br />
Well, to my amazement on Winter Solstice last week I received the<br />
glorious gift to meet Bill Scott, founder of BrainPaint.<br />
Bill is an exceptionally marvelous, loving and<br />
passionate human being.  </p>
<p>In February I will be studying, learning and experiencing this technology<br />
with Bill personally.  Upon this time I will post another article revealing<br />
what I imagine to be extraordinarily inspiring revelations!</p>

BrainPaint&#8230;.<br />
</font></p>
<p>In 1975 a mathematician,<br />
Benoît B. Mandelbrot, coined the term “fractal”<br />
and is best known as the &#8220;father of fractal geometry&#8221;.</p>
<p>Benoit used a computer to plot images of fractals called Julia sets<br />
from the formula z² &#8211; μ, which was based on the previous<br />
work by Gaston Julia and Pierre Fatou.</p>
<p>He emphasized the use of fractals as realistic and useful models of<br />
many phenomena in the real world. Natural fractals include the shapes<br />
of mountains, coastlines and river basins; the structure of plants,<br />
blood vessels and lungs; the clustering of galaxies. Man-made fractals<br />
include stock market prices but also music, painting and architecture.<br />
Far from being unnatural, Mandelbrot held the view that fractals were,<br />
in many ways, more intuitive and natural than the artificially<br />
smooth objects of traditional geometry.</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
&#8220;Clouds are not Spheres,<br />
Mountains are not Cones,<br />
Coastlines are not Circles,<br />
and Bark is not Smooth,<br />
nor does Lightning travel<br />
in a straight line.&#8221;<br />

<p>This last quote best illustrates Bill Scott’s motivation to find a medium<br />
that could be used to deliver feedback on the complexity of a person’s EEG.<br />
Up until BrainPaint, most neurofeedback systems used linear games such<br />
as those reminiscent of the 1980s. These games only provide feedback<br />
on the linear components of the EEG – frequency (pitch) and amplitude (volume).<br />
This is akin to using a cone to illustrate a mountain. Bill wanted to provide<br />
his clients with feedback on all the textures and<br />
information from their brainwaves.</p>
<p>There was another observation that had been gnawing at Bill.<br />
When he analyzed data from his colleagues and his own research on amplitude<br />
and frequency data, he found insignificant changes in these variables, even<br />
after there were noteworthy and predictable improvements in brain function<br />
as measured by fMRIs, response time to light or sound, and improvements<br />
in continuous performance tests. On the occasions when the slower frequencies<br />
of delta, theta and alpha were abnormally high or low they did appear to<br />
regress to the mean, however, it bore no direct relationship to training direction.<br />
Bill postulates that when the brain is given feedback about its states using<br />
amplitude and frequency the brain in turn extracts information about the<br />
complex shapes of these waveforms in order to develop improved control.<br />
It was as if when the brain is fed information using only consonants it<br />
figures out the meaning by interpolating the missing vowels.<br />
What if we gave feedback to the brain using consonants<br />
and vowels along with punctuation?</p>
<p>Since games are linear in nature, Bill could not use these traditional<br />
methods for providing information on the complex nature of the brain.<br />
Therefore, he chose fractals – mathematical graphs or visual representations<br />
of chaos theory. After all, the brain is a complex system. Bill needed to<br />
couple fractal images with our neurophysiology in order to provide<br />
non-linear feedback on the non-linear aspects of our brainwaves.</p>
<p>Bill first used Fractint to generate his early mathematical formulas,<br />
which allowed him to explore the fractal dimensions of the EEG.<br />
This program proved to be too slow for the animation<br />
needed during an EEG biofeedback session.</p>
<p>Scott Draves then created the Fractal Flame algorithm, which was innovative<br />
in that it mapped out the non-linear functions of fractals, in addition to,<br />
the log-density display and structural coloring. This algorithm exposed<br />
and preserved much more information than previous<br />
incarnations of fractal generators.</p>
<p>Then Mark Townsend created Apophysis, which made Draves’ Fractal Flame<br />
more user-friendly allowing users to create static images that are<br />
manually manipulated to created new static images.</p>
<p>Bill watched all these advancements in fractal technology; however, he<br />
was still far away from a vision he had of his dream EEG biofeedback system.<br />
He had one obstacle left and began developing his own software that would<br />
allow brainwaves to dynamically manipulate elements. If we go back to<br />
our earlier analogy, Scott Draves took a snapshot of the ocean and<br />
then Bill added the wind, gravity, currents and forces that move the tide.<br />
The nature of complex systems is that they are infinitely sensitive to<br />
influence, and this is what Bill needed to capture. It is this life force<br />
that makes up the power of our brain, and Bill married these<br />
neurological influences to a mathematical universe.</p>
<p>BrainPaint has stayed true to traditional forms of neurofeedback incorporating<br />
a game derived from the linear variables of amplitude and frequency.<br />
Layered upon this already proven delivery system, BrainPaint has<br />
added feedback on non-linear data extracted from the morphology<br />
of the EEG. This feedback is represented in the beautiful fractal images.<br />
UCLA Professor Lobsang Rapgay is currently conducting a study on<br />
the efficacy of the BrainPaint system as compared to<br />
tradition neurofeedback for ADHD symptoms.</p>
<p><font size="5" face="Gill Sans"><br />
&#8220;I wonder whether fractal images<br />
are not touching the very structure of our brains.<br />
Is there a clue in the infinitely regressing character<br />
of such images that illuminates our perception of art?<br />
Could it be that a fractal image is of such extraordinary<br />
richness, it is bound to resonate with our neuronal<br />
circuits and stimulate the pleasure<br />
I infer we all feel.&#8221;<br />
