• We are not the Enemy! Thoughts on Habits and the Challenge of “Enlightenment” - or of being a Systems Thinker - article by Lorraine Filipek, Ph.D. in the Systems Thinking World Journal from September 2013. "I believe that many of those who argue the strongest for “their” side are working their way through the mourning process. They may be ripe to enter the next stage of mourning. They need “only” to become mindful–to step back and let go of their identity as “scientist” or “theologian” (or “liberal” or “conservative” or whatever), so that they can accept the truths in the other’s stance and then integrate the best of both. Entering the tipping point is giving up, at least temporarily, everything you have believed in until now, everything you identify with, everything that made you famous: “Just die and you will be reborn…” This is not easy! Your whole world collapses.
  I also believe that the best way to help each other–and ourselves–enter this tipping point is not to say that anybody was wrong. That plays into our Childhood dualistic, win/lose training and backs us into the proverbial corner, where we fight all the harder. Rather, it is to gently ask questions and learn how we are all partly right—you, me, and the person down the street. It is to engage in true dialectic—in mindful questioning and discussion, not winner-take-all debate. We need to enlarge our own and each other’s perspectives, not destroy them. And to give each other–and ourselves–the emotional support that allows one’s own cognitive and spiritual dissonance to do the rest. We all need to see rainbows, not black and white, to weather this storm!"

• ​​​​​​​Sound Therapy in Ancient Temples111 Hertz and Healing with Sound. "Paul Devereux is a professor from Cambridge and an archaeo-acoustician who researches the area of archaeology and acoustics and who has visited ancient sites and temples analysing the ritual use of sound.  He’s discovered that burial mounds in Ireland called cairns, even though they are made of different materials, and are different sizes, all resonate at one particular frequency: 111 Hz.  He has decided to take it a step further and explore what happens to the brain when it is exposed to the frequency of 111Hz.  Findings of MRI scans suggest that at exactly 111hz, the brain switches off the prefrontal cortex, deactivating the language centre, and temporary switches from left to right-sided dominance, that is responsible for intuition, creativity, holistic processing, inducing a state of meditation or a trance.” ~ Art of 4 Elements
  
  
• Scientists at Manchester University have shown if the brain is ‘tuned-in’ to a particular frequency, pain can be alleviated. “Researchers at the Human Pain Research Group at The University of Manchester found that alpha waves from the front of the brain, the forebrain, are associated with placebo analgesia and may be influencing how other parts of the brain process pain. This led to the idea that if we can ‘tune’ the brain to express more alpha waves [which occurs naturally during meditation...], perhaps we can reduce pain experienced by people with certain conditions.” ~ Corespirit.com

• How to Raise Your Consciousness & Energetic Vibration Through Diet  “Many people are not aware of how large of an effect their diet has on their state of being. Your physiological health is literally the platform for your consciousness. The Nero-transmitters and hormones responsible for your moods and state of being are directly correspondent to your nutritional intake, as well as the level of toxins that are present in your system. You are what you eat and if you’re eating dead chemical filled junk, you will feel like dead chemical filled junk…”  ~ Bridget Nielsen
  
  
• Biophotons: German Scientists Discover Light Shatters Cancerous Cells, Other Diseases. ""Instead of relying on chemical messengers or some other sort of modality, we are healed with “the speed of light” since this is the level of communication with which biophotons are interacting with us – and in fact ARE us. Fritz-Popp explains that this speed and coherence is how cancer and other diseases are eradicated from the body. In essence, the biophotons read the form, know exactly what is awry within it, and reorganizes the information (to health) at the speed of light. Within each cell hundreds of thousands of reactions are taking place every second that we are alive. Behind this action is an electromagnetic pattern of energy, carried by the photonic light. It is a pattern in the locality of ‘us’ as well as a pattern in time. It tells a cell what to do at what time and what place. This is also how cells communicate non-physically and non-chemically with each other.” ~ from TheMindUnleashed.com
  
  
• The Cause of Your Physical Pain And Disease is You. "It should come as no surprise to anyone that every part of our physical body vibrates at a precise frequency. Thoughts that are not in harmony or in “sync” with our body cause impedance to our health. All organs, all tissues, membranes, glands, cells, vibrate in precise frequencies in a healthy body. All positive, inspiring, loving and kind thoughts are in harmony with those physical vibrations and help to continue to keep the body in perfect health, with the circulation of the blood going to all the necessary parts of the body, with the digestion working perfectly and the body able to correctly and easily eliminate toxins and waste matter, also allowing proper refreshing sleep to the body.” ~ by Michael Forrester For Waking Times
  
  
• Regrow Your Brain With Meditation:"A team of researchers led by Dr. Lazar, a neurologist and instructor at Harvard medical school, has discovered that meditating for just 8 weeks can fuel grey-matter in the hippocampus and promote brain ‘growth’. More specifically, the practice of meditation can spark measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, sense of self, empathy, and stress...The meditation course seemed to cause the brain to form denser connections among important centers that regulate our behavior and help us to be ‘smart.’"​​​​​​​
  
  
• Evolution of the Brain, Consciousness and Lucid Dreaming. "In this interview, Dr. Rodolph Tanzi, a professor of neurology at Harvard University, uses his research as the starting point for a discussion of the evolution of the brain and consciousness. Tanzi delves into the role of the brain, not as the seat of consciousness, but as a radio that tunes into a greater field of information which he terms the Pure Self. He proposes that consciousness is the seat of all experience and arises as a result of the Pure Self becoming aware of itself.” ~from Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Newsletter
  
  
• The consumption of chlorine changes HDL (“good”) cholesterol into LDL cholesterol, creates oxidative damage throughout a body, acts as an immunosuppressant, causes severe arterial damage, and it destroys fatty acids which are needed for heart health. Chlorine is even one of the main causes of respiratory illnesses in wintertime, for people use humidifiers, which release chlorine gas when they are used with chlorinated water. Showering in chlorinated water similarly releases the gas, and this is strongly tied to asthma. Nevertheless, chlorine remains the standard chemical that is used to sterilize water supplies throughout the world. It is toxic to every living thing. It is truly effective at killing the bacteria and microscopic parasites that live inside water, but it is likewise destructive to human health. Societies throughout the world have paid an incredible price in carnage for having chlorine-sterilized water. While the ‘purification’ of water by chlorine has prevented large-scale outbreaks of diseases such as cholera, it has also led to our current epidemics of heart disease and cancer, to name a couple.

• Search for the Mind of God ... "All its great pioneers, from Copernicus to Newton, were motivated by the passionate belief that by discovering the way the universe works they were not only uncovering God’s design, but also taking humankind closer to the divine. Science was for them primarily a spiritual quest. And, given the evidence, that’s precisely what it should be now. Despite rather desperately cowering behind the wall of strident rationalism most of them are famous for, the startling truth is that cosmologists and quantum physicists themselves have revealed that the mind of God may be much nearer than we think. Science itself has effectively proven that ours is not a random universe. Science itself has demonstrated it was literally designed for life, which implies a designer…“  ~ CoreSpirit.com
  
  
• Mysticism - When Science and Religion Converge. "Modern science was born as a Christian. In its adolescence it became an agnostic. In its adult life we are now experiencing that it is becoming an atheist. But if science is to live into old age it must become a mystic. Mysticism is the meeting point of real religion and real science. Only there can they find common ground and complement one another. When science is engaged in primarily for the purpose of facilitating humanity’s pursuit of plumbing the depths of consciousness proper—studying the natural world in order to better facilitate pursuit of the supernatural—science finds true meaning and at the same time religion becomes well informed about the natural world.” ~ by Swami B.V.

• Dying of thirst: Privatization of water as an owned commodity rather than a Universal Human Right. "Nestlé owns or leases fifty spring sites throughout America. Nestlé controls a third of the domestic market for bottled water in the US. The company is notorious for unlawful extraction of spring water while engaging in price-gouging and reeking havoc in numerous communities. An example of the trouble Nestlé typically causes is Colorado where 80% of the citizens of Aurora were opposed to Nestlé's presence, fully aware of the company's terrible reputation for damaging communities and natural environments. Yet the city council voted in favor 7 to 4 to let the devastation begin and over the next decade Nestlé extracted 650 million gallons of precious Arkansas River valley water that went into its Arrowhead Springs brand of bottled water. For years the embattled townspeople of Aurora fought to rid the company predator from destroying their precious aquifers. Additionally, the plastic non-biodegradable bottles are major pollutants that stay toxically intact for a full millennium.” ~Sign of the Times

• Can We Live in a Constant State of Love? "Love is not sentimentality or even romanticism. Those are what we do with love to express its many delicious ways and plays. When love is a state of being, we can actually experience unhappiness and still be rooted in love. We can feel love amidst other emotions. Love is the background on which all other emotional scenery go by.” ~ Toni Emerson
  
  
• The Only Way to Save the World is to Save Yourself: "Saving yourself is putting on the oxygen mask of health, awareness, and truth. But what does that mean? It means questioning yourself to the nth degree, to the point of self-interrogation, and then questioning some more. It means psychosocial upheaval. It means getting uncomfortable. It means admitting you are wrong. In short: It means pain, existential pain of monumental proportions.
  Why is it so painful? Because much cognitive dissonance must be navigated. Everything that you’ve taken for granted as a fundamental truth must be turned inside out and given proper scrutiny. After such scrutiny, you will likely find that you were wrong about a great many things. But the only tool you need to weigh yourself against your deep questioning is the following anonymous quote: “When an honest man realizes that he is mistaken, he will either cease being mistaken or cease being honest.”  ~author and activist, Gary McGee​​​​​​​

• "...that truth spoken is a gift given. Truth withheld is more than a gift denied, it is an arrow aimed at the heart. It has been said that "the truth hurts," but the exact opposite is true. No truth is too hurtful, and no lie is harmless. Because every truth opens your heart to  another, and every lie separates it. Yet know this: The way you say your truth can be hurtful.
  So speak your truth, but soothe your words with peace.” ~Neale Donald Walsch
  
  
• Divine Nutrition: “I have often said the 4 greatest western Gods are the God of Money, the God of Fame, the God of Power, and the God of Sex. These four Gods are worshiped daily and religiously by millions who seek to have their stomachs full of Security, Peace, Love, and Happiness. The problem is that these Gods cannot deliver the nourishment we need and so we - as individuals and as a planet - have developed Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual Anorexia.” ~ Jasmuheen, The Divine Nutrition of the Gods
  
  
• "Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into wars, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves. The families of weaver ants engage in child labor, holding their larvae like shuttles to spin out the thread that sews the leaves together for their fungus gardens. They exchange information ceaselessly.  They do everything but watch television.” ~Lewis Thomas
  
  
• A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe”, a part limited in space and time. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.” ~ Albert Einstein
  
  
• The World is a Mirror of our Collective Consciousness: "If you follow the thread of scientific reason on human consciousness all the way to its essence, you eventually arrive at the revelation that we create reality, and that the world at large is a macrocosmic representation of the experiences of the individual. Everything conscious and unconscious that lives and breathes within the self, is mirrored as fractals in our collective experience. In this way we share each other’s pain, and in this way we contribute to each other’s greatness. Observation of the world in this light is a diagnosis of the individual. The sicknesses manifest in our shared reality are to be found within the mind and spirit of all people. When we grasp this as the true nature of reality, the path to a better world suddenly appears. The healing of the one is the healing of the whole. The way is clear now.” ~ Dylan Charles
  
  
• Seeing with the Mind: “It is not seeing with the eye but seeing with the mind that gives us a basis for belief, and in this way science and religion are one. We are now entering an age when we the hold the power of life in our hands, and if it is to be used properly it must be a world dominated by love. What we must have in the world today is a chain reaction of the human spirit. If we can feel the vision and if we can act on it, if we can transmit this vision to others and persuade everyone that living in terms of the spirit is the only answer, then we can change the face of the world.” ~ Dr. Donald Hatch Andrews, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University - circa 1970 (from the book, The Superbeings by John Randolph Price)
