Bucky Fuller once studied the rate of new innovations spreading thru a society and found the average was 50 years?! (citation?). Moshe came to the US around 1971 and published his first book of ATM's (Lessons) in 1972. So we're only 36 years onlong!
Arthur C. Clarke in his Farewell video to HumanKind (last Dec. 07) says that now 1/2 of Humanity has Cell Phones! And it took only 25 years...I saw thefirst demo of a cell phone the other day..it was 35 years ago. That is 3+ billion people have
adopted the cell phone!

Awareness through movement
Sometimes Feldenkrais classes are sneaky: they pose as courses on pain-free horseback riding, better running, a way to improve yoga form. Generic Feldenkrais classes are often called "Awareness through Movement" instead.
"Because Feldenkrais is such a strange-sounding word, people think that it's a religion, or a cult," said Marjorie Levine, an occupational therapist in Southfield who leads an introduction to Feldenkrais for gardeners. "It's marketing."
Sandy Hubar, a 54-year-old nurse and dedicated student of Myers', first got into Feldenkrais by taking a class on ways to improve her running and walking.
"The first class I went to, it was really bizarre to me," she said. "I was lying on the floor, making small movements that made absolutely no sense. I sat up -- and my posture was a lot better. It doesn't make sense that it's going to work. But as you get used to it, you know what's going to happen.
"I wanted to walk better. I had no idea that my posture or whole body movements would change."
It's helped her swing dancing, horseback riding, walking and sailing, she said.
"It feels really good. You feel really relaxed afterwards -- you sleep really well," Hubar said. "I love yoga. Yoga's hard. This is sooo easy."
