[Coleman]

I had the honor of playing with one of the best trumpet players on the east coast. He believes in using the mind as a tool and think of the final product you want instead of the mechanics that get you to the final product. He told me one story which i found quite interesting:

His good friend works in a lab where they study the brain's effects on the body. There was a death case in which they had to figure out what the hell happened to the guy. The victim died during scuba diving. All of the equipment worked--there was enough air in the tank, the air came out properly. BUT, there was only ONE instrument that malfunctioned...guess what it was........

It was the guage that told them their air supply (the little wrist watch looking thing). It was stuck on the reading "EMPTY" and it caused the diver to believe that there was no oxygen in the tank even though THERE WAS A FULL TANK.


That really is freaky! The scientist figured out that your mind DOES have an effect on your body. They proved it was with negative thinking. I wonder if it works with positive thinking...............(i'll end with that thought)
