149. Sprung from Numb; & a Psalm from Mom
Time away from the green goddess, brings a shift, & new life. How a month away from medicine, & vice, feels... Also an ancient blessing, brings deep comfort, from a common historical holy book. __________ ep 149. Sprung from numb; and a Psalm from Mom - notes _______ Corrections: The prairie wagon mentioned in the pod is called a CONESTOGA rather than Calistoga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conestoga_wagon ____ Psalm 23 "The Lord is my shepherd" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalm_23 [...] "The theme of God as a shepherd was common in ancient Israel and Mesopotamia. For example, King Hammurabi, in the conclusion to his famous legal code, wrote: "I am the shepherd who brings well-being and abundant prosperity; my rule is just.... so that the strong might not oppress the weak, and that even the orphan and the widow might be treated with justice."[10] This imagery and language were well known to the community that created the Psalm and was easily imported into its worship. " ______ Cannabis and REM dreaming: "P039 REM sleep and dream reports in frequent cannabis versus non-cannabis users" "Tetrahydrocannabinidiol (THC; one of the main psychoactive components of cannabis) has been shown to suppress REM sleep1-4 and affect sleep latency,4 5 although these findings are not consistently replicated. Cannabis use is also reported to affect dreaming frequency." https://bmjopenrespres.bmj.com/content/6/Suppl_1/A23.1 ______ [editor note: Hammurabi's code is significant historically for many reasons, one main point being discussion of oppressed classes, and codifying consideration and empathy for these classes. He also refers to being a "Shepard" of his people in texts. King Hammurabi - circa 1775 B.C.E. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammurabi Code of Hammurabi - Babylonian laws: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Code-of-Hammurabi Code of Hammurabi - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Hammurabi: "The top of the stele features an image in relief of Hammurabi with Shamash, the Babylonian sun god and god of justice. Below the relief are about 4,130 lines of cuneiform text: one fifth contains a prologue and epilogue in poetic style, while the remaining four fifths contain what are generally called the laws. In the prologue, Hammurabi claims to have been granted his rule by the gods "to prevent the strong from oppressing the weak". [...] Their scope is broad, including, for example, criminal law, family law, property law, and commercial law.
