Matrix Energetics: The Science and Art of Transformation
An interview with Dr. Richard Bartlett by Tim Miejan
Part One | Part Two
Dr. Richard Bartlett's practice of Matrix Energetics is the stuff of alchemists, wizards, shapeshifters and the lot who are not limited by space and time. It's about moving into the slipstream and resting in No Mind. It's about not thinking in terms of limitation. It's about using imagination and being open to any possibility.
• Dr. Bartlett will offer Matrix Energetics instruction September 12-15 at Minneapolis Airport Marriott. For more information, visit www.matrixenergetics.com or call 1.800.269.9513.

King Corn: An Interview | Documentary film reveals how subsidized corn is driving the fast-food industry by Arielle Ford
Behind America's 99-cent hamburgers and 72-ounce sodas is a key ingredient that silently fuels our fast-food nation -- corn. In the revelatory, Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me)-style documentary, King Corn, we meet two college buddies, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, who move from the East Coast to the Heartland to learn where their food comes from. Ironically, 80 years ago, Ian and Curt's great-grandfathers lived just a few miles apart, in the same rural county in Northern Iowa. Now their great-grandsons are returning with a mission. They will plant an acre of corn, follow their harvest into the world, and attempt to understand what they -- and all of us -- are really made of: corn. King Corn is available from the Earth Cinema Circle [www.earthcinemacircle.com].
