Zen Gardner The brain is a hunk of flesh. Amazing transceiver, but working on the fleshly side, like our bodies. It interprets. It is not spirit, it is alive but not life. It is not perception, in any way, shape or form. Yet it perceives at its own level. We, however, are consciousness. And here …
Unknown Waking Times “The train clanked and rattled through the suburbs of Tokyo on a drowsy spring afternoon. Our car was comparatively empty – a few housewives with their kids in tow, some old folks going shopping. I gazed absently at the drab houses and dusty hedgerows. At one station the doors opened, and suddenly …
Mike Barrett Waking Times While seldom consciously recognized, most people truly do lack self-connectedness. This can be exemplified through a mere observation of how most people breath every day. Breaths are usually taken in short bouts which ultimately bring about some degree of stress, rather than deeper breaths that are subsequently more relaxing. These short …
Mona Bhattacharya Wake Up World Life begins with an untouched mind – much like a blank canvas waiting to be colored. The colors are known as ‘the human experience’, which brings about the gradual development of the mental capabilities required to live a ‘normal life’. Intelligence, creativity and memory are developed, but at the same time, …
Chris Bourne, Contributing Writer Waking Times A great deal is spoken of in spiritual texts and musings about the Chakras and exactly what their purpose is. Here at Openhand, we view them as ‘consciousness exchange points’ where Unity Consciousness as the soul infuses with Separation Consciousness as the bodymind. Our lives are greatly affected and …
Purpose Fairy “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” Buddha The next thing from our list of 15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy is to learn and to …
This core Self or inner center which is left behind when all the various identities fall away, is the true essence of Self which emanates through all the layers of personality and mind. Very simply, it is the awareness “I Exist!” It can almost be described as the high vibratory frequency of love energy, individualized as each unique being, yet truly only One. This deep connection is being realized by many on planet Earth right now.
It’s easy to see how someone might think that sitting in meditation would be a terribly boring thing to do, just sitting there doing nothing. Trying to think of nothing. Trying to think of not thinking. Of course, that particular thought (like a lot of them) couldn’t be further from the truth.
Consciousness means being awake and aware of our surroundings, whereas dreams happen only in sleep when we have no idea of what’s happening in the real world. What’s going on here? Is there any scientific basis to it?
Physicalism is the philosophical claim that only what is physical is real, where physical means: To be found or inferred by measurement and reason as existing in the world observable by the outer senses (mainly sight, hearing and touch). Physicalism is distinct from physics. Physics is (a) an activity based upon observing the world (by means of the outer senses), theorizing, experimenting and testing and (b) a body of knowledge which consists of truths established by this activity.
A social meme is the dictator that runs society alone for a social meme transfers the burden of oversight to the one that is controlled. This amazing film explains just how insidious and overwhelmingly power our social memes are. And the methodology by which we “freely choose” to pursue the life that is dictated to us from birth.
The monks of South Asia have been chanting on behalf of the happiness and well-being of all creatures for 2,500 years. Now, the spirit of those mantras has marched out of the monastery and into the streets, even into the halls of the United Nations.
The ritual is part of the nine-month therapy program at the Takiwasi Center, a cluster of rustic buildings on the edge of Tarapoto, Peru, a steamy town in the Amazon. Founded by Mabit in 1992, the center has treated nearly 1,000 drug addicts with a combination of psychotherapy and medicinal plants, including the ones mixed to make ayahuasca, a hallucinogen used by indigenous healers throughout the Amazon.

People are shifting the paradigm, stepping out of the rigid construct, stopping the forward crawl towards chaos and turning instead towards sustainability, balance, and harmony.

What a perfect analogy. The Truth is coming to light in so many areas right now and this excavation is so representative of this entire phenomenon. All along we thought these were just massive heads that were mysteriously placed here on Easter Island by a civilization gone by, for whatever esoteric purpose.
Professor Raymond Wheeler of the University of Kansas has come to the same conclusions that Russian scientist Alexander Chizhevsky discovered in 1915.
Solar storms directly cause conflict, wars and even death among humans on Earth.
Vodou possession is not the hokey demon-possession of zombie movies; it’s a state of union with the divine achieved through drumming, dancing and singing. It’s becoming “filled with the Holy Ghost” in the Pentecostal Christian tradition, reaching Buddhist nirvana, or attaining the yogi’s Samadhi.
Generally, I would suggest that following a model of indigenous peoples across the world, especially the Native American groups, would not only lead to a world in balance, but is actually the ONLY way that humanity can be sustainable. The example set by Native Americans of how to interact with the earth can, I believe, be applied on a larger scale and made to integrate into modern society, in a way that keeps our infrastructure thriving while also being sustainable.
“The matrix” is “the morphogenic field”, also defined by Carl Jung as the “collective unconscious.” It is essentially the unified higher awareness that connects with creation and manifests global scenarios. This extraordinary force field plays a crucial role in shaping our perceived reality. For this reason, it has been severely manipulated to serve the elite few who, unlike the majority, have always been keenly aware of the matrix and its power of manifestation.
