Internet rising is a digi-documentary investigating the evolving relationships between the Internet and collective consciousness of humanity. It provokes many questions about ancient and modern paradoxes of life, its pleasures and pains… and the gray area contrasts in between – but most of all it is meant to be an inspiring conversation starter.
“You don’t get to be a hero by being a coward and sitting back and accepting the status quo. Evolution is calling you to task.” – Thomas Sheridan
An excellent and thorough explanation of the psychopath and the reasons the world is in chaos. Why is there a war on human consciousness and how do we live up to our high human potential for living peacefully and fruitfully on this beautiful planet? The solution lies in disassociation with psychopaths and turning our energies to the elevation of our consciousness. A must watch!
You see, we have been trained to believe that we must go war to create peace. We have been trained to believe that we are separate from each other and the earth we live on, or that the rule must be “every man for himself”. We have been sold on the idea that it is natural for a few people to own land and resources, and to create a money system that requires the rest of us to work for survival.
It’s clear the Earth’s magnetic flux is now changing. Science concurs and we can read the general affects happening all across the planet. There’s much speculation as to where that’s going and the wider affects it’s likely to have. I don’t want to get into speculation hearsay, but what I certainly feel, is that the affects (whatever they are) will be large and wide ranging. They’re highly likely to affect EVERYONE on the planet.
Decades ago, only mystics and madmen believed that there was an energy field around all living beings. Now science has actually proven that series of fields exists and that the sum total is much stronger and more potent than ever imagined. In fact, research done on this field is yielding a rich base for everything from diagnosing illness to enhancing food to creating prosperity.
Past research has found that savoring the moment and positive thinking can help to not only improve your current health, but also prevent future health complications. In particular, the findings found positive thoughts to be especially beneficial to those already suffering from diseases like coronary artery disease and high blood pressure.
What kinds of developmental thresholds would any planet of sentient beings pass through? The creation of writing would be a huge one. The unleashing of cheap non-biological energy is another. The invention of the scientific method is a giant leap. And the fine control of energy (as in electricity) for long-distant communications is significant as well, enabling all kinds of other achievements. Our civilization has passed through all these stages; what are some future transitions we can expect — no matter the fashions and fads of the day?
The imminent Carl Sagan reminds us just how incredible it is to be human, and how magnificent it is to ponder the idea that we are all created from particles that once were the substance of stars. And the chances of the cosmos creating you in this moment were remarkably vast. Chance or a gift? Either way, life is incredibly beautiful. Carl Sagan’s warning about the crossroads of our planet and civilization is more timely than ever.
The first is an intense and focused absorption that makes you lose all sense of time. The second is what is known as autotelicity, the sense that the activity you are engaged in is rewarding for its own sake. The third is finding the “sweet spot”, a feeling that your skills are perfectly matched to the task at hand, leaving you neither frustrated nor bored. And finally, flow is characterised by automaticity, the sense that “the piano is playing itself”, for example.
If you ask people who behave in those ways if they could do something else, typically the answer will be something like, “It’s just what I do” or “I know better, but I can’t seem to make myself do anything else”, or “When I’m in the situation the consequences just don’t seem to matter. It’s later that I give myself hell for doing it AGAIN”.
It is only fear that holds us back now. We have already entered the age of Aquarius. The time for change has arrived. Once we are able to accept that the universe is far more beautiful and complex than we could ever imagine, we will begin to understand why we would want to keep incarnating again and again in this world of apparent suffering.
You don’t have to be a Facebook addict to benefit from taking a media break. The trade-off can be quite rewarding and fun.
I’ve always been taught that naps are for lazy people, something you only get to do if you’re feeling sick or have a lot of time on your hands. Sleep, however, appears to be a far more complex and integral phenomenon than we give it credit for. A thirty-minute cat nap can help consolidate memory, enhance cognitive skills, and support the integration of emotional experiences.
In short, holistic health has become inevitable. A piecemeal approach to wellness doesn’t fit how your body works. It is no longer “alternative” medicine that concerns itself with broad issues of holistic wellness. The need is universal, and the sooner we begin to lay down practical guidelines for living holistically, the closer we will come to higher health. In the next post I’ll cover some proposed guidelines.
Danny Hillis, co-chairman of the technology and design firm Applied Minds, characterizes the present day as a “post-Enlightenment” point in time in which people no longer understand the technology that surrounds them. Branding it “the Entanglement Era,” Hillis compares humanity’s current relationship to the technological environment to its relationship to the natural environment, such as a jungle.
At the end of the day, I’ve learned that we are more than our past lives because the past is always presently cresting, like a rip-cord wave. Our past lives are constantly breaking us over into the newness and potential that is the eternal ocean of our soul. The dramas we remember are the ones that, to some extent, we’re currently living through again.
While decision making is believed to be a purely rational process, it is also a highly emotional one. Antonio Damasio discovered that cognitive decisions could not be made without also incorporating feelings regarding that decision.13 This has huge implications for the workplace. Choices, once thought to be made on a purely economic or rational basis, incorporate emotions that may run counter to logic.
There’s a war going on now and hardly anyone knows it. Most people don’t even know they’re on the battlefield until they lose a limb, or a head. It’s a war between gravity and levity. Those who can keep themselves light, who keep from buckling under the pressure as the darkness and heaviness of the world increases, will find themselves airborne when the shift occurs.
Today’s experiment in eating, however, involves becoming aware of that reflexive urge to plow through your meal like Cookie Monster on a shortbread bender. Resist it. Leave the fork on the table. Chew slowly. Stop talking. Tune in to the texture of the pasta, the flavor of the cheese, the bright color of the sauce in the bowl, the aroma of the rising steam.
Consciousness research, which has been studying the science of giving for decades, has taught us that giving and receiving are among the most healing expressions that humans can make. They can help heal the separateness we often feel from ourselves, each other, the environment, and the sacred.
