What are they thinking!?

This website looks like a worthy addition to FoolsCleverBag's link-roll - under skeptical (probably) or (maybe) science. It appears to be a thorough, instructive, well laid out, accessible presentation. ~ Crabbee

Cyber-realms are open for shamanic shifting! I know there are 'shamans' in Second Life. But I am instead considering anyone's Second Life as another shamanic dream dimension of reality, an alternative middle-world on another edge of ordinary reality, with unique potentials and possibilities for shamanizing beneficial changes for intentional release into everyday ordinary reality. Or, like T.V. watching, could excessive cyber-adventuring dampen someone's inner visualizing or night and day dreaming? ~ Rezzee

Global Correlations in Random Data - 'We have been collecting data from a global network of random event generators since August, 1998. The network has grown to about 65 host sites around the world running custom software that reads the output of physical random number generators and records a 200-bit trial sum once every second, continuously over months and years. The data are transmitted over the internet to a server in Princeton, NJ, USA, where they are archived for later analysis. Individual data create a tapestry of color. The dot below shows coherence. The purpose of this project is to examine subtle correlations that appear to reflect the presence and activity of consciousness in the world. The scientific work is careful, but it is at the margins of our understanding...'

This reference might prove useful. Too bad the BookIt feature isn't working!

article in The Walrus online magazine...'the shamans...told him [Narby] something that he—trained in the materialist, rationalist ethos of Western science—could scarcely comprehend: that their wisdom derived from spirits within the plants themselves. In other words, they said, the plants of the Amazonian rainforest spoke to them, giving precise instructions in the art of healing and a great deal more. Narby initially thought this claim was a kind of shamanic joke. He quickly learned otherwise....'

This about says it all succintly enough!

Wonderfully refreshing!!!

Self-education is crucial!

Here is a USA Today designated 'Hot site' of many things someone might want to know about the brain.

This reference appears to be just what the name says.

'...Theosis - Achieving Your Potential In Christ - Plain Talks on a Major Doctrine of Orthodoxy By Fr. Anthony M. Coniaris, Edited by D. A. Riewe...'

'...Could it be, however, that conventional science is just as mistaken as the Bible stories?...'

'... MEMS Imagine a machine so small that it is imperceptible to the human eye. Imagine working machines no bigger than a grain of pollen. Imagine thousands of these machines batch fabricated on a single piece of silicon, for just a few pennies each. Imagine a world where gravity and inertia are no longer important, but atomic forces and surface science dominate....'

Take a look and see for yourself...then make up your own mind...or even better keep wondering!

Here is Serge King's free, little pink blessing book!

A favorite parody: "The Invisible Pink Unicorns is a being of great spiritual power. We know this because she is capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorn is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that she is pink; we logically know that she is invisible because we can't see her."

'How do other cultures wake up? For thousands of years, many peoples have paid great attention to how we are awakened and have affirmed the importance of the gentle return of the spirit to the body of the sleeper. As the spirit or shadow wanders far abroad, it requires time to return to the body.'

To design a reasonably fail-safe means of communicating information about the repository and its content, such that the system's effecttiveness would be maintained for up to 10,000 years (about 300 generations).

The POCM web site introduces you to the mainstream modern scholarship about Christianity's origins in ancient Pagan religion.

This is one gnostic world view - that the recognition that earthly life is flawed and absurd is like Buddhism and that is the key to Gnosticism.

When March is like both the Lion and the Lamb new questions arise!

'For several years, my neighbor Kirkpatrick Sale, the anarchist/Luddite/journalist/historian/poet, has been toiling on a book that promotes a variant of the peaceful noble savage hypothesis.'
