Take a Visual Tour of CyberKnife Radiosurgery (jeffreifman.com)

reifman writes: On June 3rd, I had brain surgery to treat a benign tumor called a meningioma. I knew ahead of time that the surgeon wouldn't be able to remove the entire tumor – its geography extended from my cavernous sinus to the pituitary gland to the left hemisphere of the brain and to my brain stem. I also needed CyberKnife radiation therapy to attempt to mutate the remaining tumor's DNA to stop its growth. Come meet Lenore, my robotic radiosurgeon.

    Lenore would be a badass name for a sexbot.

    Consciousness consists of frequencies of quantum energy. “Quantum” means a summoning of the perennial. Today, science tells us that the essence of nature is inseparability. Potential requires exploration. The goal of a resonance cascade is to plant the seeds of self-actualization rather than desire.

    As you reflect, you will enter into infinite spacetime that transcends understanding. Feng shui may be the solution to what’s holding you back from an unfathomable quantum leap of self-actualization. You will soon be awakened by a power deep within yourself — a power that is consciousness-expanding, interstellar.
