A biorhythm is a hypothetical cycle in physiological, emotional, or intellectual well-being or prowess. "Bio-" pertains to life and "rhythm" pertains to the flow with regular movement. Although labelled a pseudo science largely by scientific profession, for the purposes of divination, I have used it to good effect with a college exam I was expected to fail, the result of which I passed with 98% to the amazement of my colleagues and tutors. The result of which they then understood I was either cheating, or I possess all the information and understand all the theories, but when asked cannot articulate the required answer. Privately and kept privately at the time,I am not prepared to stick my head above the parapet and say what I thought when asked, for fear of failure, I lack that confidence, a long held personal problem with a root, which still exists to this day with real life social interaction with people whom I don't know. Anyway, the exam was back in 1994 and I had in my posession a chart of plotted biorythms and I was asked when I would like to sit the exam I had missed by being away, I consulted my chart and picked a time when according to the chart, I was at the peak of my intellectual cycle. After the exam, the interest in biorythms faded away, which is quite usual for me.The chart I had, was plotted off the internet, my first esposure to this wonderful thing we all take for granted today, the biorythm theory was brought to my notice by my father, who normally will not buy into anything considered pseudo science, but he himself used it in his work, so I gave it a go. So, for a long time forgotten about, but recently the theory has reappeared on my radar whilst trying to personally analyse my actions in the case of my forum contributions, my posting activities, which I know to be kind or erratic in both frequency and content, it does appear to me, to follow a pattern, a cycle perhaps. A cycle which I feel to be natural, with similarities to the cycles of nature and this very planet, if not the universe, the ebb and flow of life. With thinking, I know humanity has cycles active within it, cycles that can with a level of surety be used to predict, that being the monthly cycle with women, also the effect of the moon on our planet, what it does to the oceans and again life, be it plant or animal, also my personal belief on the climate change, it being part of a cycle beyond our control, the ebb and flow of life, almost like a breathing organism, in and out, positive/negative, light and dark, polarities, one extreme to the other and somewhere in the middle of the extremes, a condition of neutrality, which can be taken as balance or the eye of the storm depending on your perspective. So, biorythms are back with me, and further inquiry into them, as if there exists cycles all around us, why not in us, cycles we can identify and use to our betterment. Now divination does not in itself interest me, I prefer to take each day as it comes, but on occaisions the ability to know when one is at a peak, valley or sea leavel might be advantageous, or at least might be of some use to explain a past action which might be of some personal embarrassment. I am also taking an interest in the field of chronobiology with reference to my own sleep patterns, and cannot help but feel somewhere Biorythms although considered pseudo science, might be in there somewhere, and it is with interest biorythms have and still are used in industry, with United Airlines using them up until the mid 1990's to plot pilot's not so good days and still with the air freight carrier Nippon Express, so some at least have some belief. But, if life is about ebb and flow, then if this was noted and implemented, maybe we might one day achieve a level of balance or controllable near balance in all things, our very working lives, our finances, the state of the nation ad finitum. Perhaps the adage of give and take is an attempt at realising the natural cycle that is all around us, with us and in us is our true and natural being and what we do outside of what is natural, is unnnatural and therefore wrong for us, our planet and the universe. Does anyone here admit to using biorhythms or know anything about them, what do you think about the natural cycles that exist or might exist around and in us, of use, or just pseudo science ?
