• ​“Hacking” the Human Biofield: How Shamans Create Extraordinary Health with Dr. Alberto Villoldo - 2 one hour videos.  Do you want your health span to equal your lifespan? Do you want to live a life of extraordinary health and joy? Shamans of old discovered how to “hack” into our biological system to select for longevity by switching on the “Methuselah genes” we have in every cell. They did this using super foods and mind-altering states of consciousness that shattered our ordinary notions of space-time. Shamanic energy medicine also clears the imprints of disease from the luminous energy field that surrounds the physical body. This field is the blueprint that organizes the body in the same way that a magnet organizes iron filings on a piece of glass. When you upgrade the quality of the field, you are able to grow a new body that heals and repairs itself. In this webinar, Alberto Villoldo explains how to tap into and shift the outcome of old genetic programs. You will learn about shamanic states of consciousness and how to utilize nutrition to allow you to grow new bodies that age, heal and die differently.  [Here is a link to Dr. Villodo’s 30-day human biofield hacking nutrition program.  I just recently saw it, but it’s very close to the type of diet I’ve been following for the last six years.  I find it very beneficial.]
  
  
• Amazing Food Science Discovery: Edible Plants 'Talk' To Animal Cells, Promote Healing.  Food can no longer considered simply as a source of caloric content, minerals and vitamins, and building blocks for the body-machine. [Learn more by taking the author's E-Course] Rather, food carries very specific forms of biologically meaningful information (literally 'to put form into'), without which our genetic and epigenetic infrastructure cannot function according to its intelligent design.

• ​These Infrastructure Advances in the Rest-of-the-World Will Blow Your Mind.  While we’re “debating” torture, access to basic health care and the veracity of climate change, the rest-of-the-world is simply advancing transformational infrastructure like you would not believe.

• The Corporation.  A 2003 documentary based on the book by the same name explains in great detail why global capitalism is in the state it is.  After you watch the movie (which is gripping and expertly done), you’ll want to cleanse your palate by exploring solutions on how capitalism and corporations can evolve into better, more society friendly versions - check out the movements around Conscious Capitalism, Benefit Corporations (now over 1200 in 26 states and 50 countries), and The B Team (a nonprofit formed by Richardson Branson and other heavyweights in order to promote the adoption of  conscious capitalism principles across industry).  Just as we expect other institutions and systems in our culture to change and grow, shouldn’t corporations do the same? There is Hope...

• Your Smartphone May Be Robbing You of Your Best Ideas.  There is close link between originality, novelty, and creativity on the one hand, and the sort of spontaneous thoughts that we generate when our minds are idle. When we are glued to our smartphones, checking them up to 100 times a day, that idle spontaneity and the creative insights it generates gets lost.

• Why tomorrow’s technology needs a regulatory revolution.  by Felix Salmon.  Regulating new technologies from Artificial Intelligence to Designer Genomics is crucially important given the pace of technological change.  The general public and our political leadership are way behind the curve..."Here’s a recent long interview with Demis Hassabis, for instance, the founder of artificial intelligence company DeepMind. Barely has the interview even begun before the journalist brings up the fear that smart computers could mean the end of human life:  The uncertainty lies in whether these artificially intelligent beings will be motivated by a desire to guide and assist us or simply to do away with people like old gadgets that have served their purpose. Also on the YouTube video, Hassabis describes his AI computer playing a boxing game in which, after a few seconds of sparring, it corners the opponent and pummels them into submission. The audience laughs as Hassabis explains that the computer “ruthlessly exploits the weakness in the system it has found”. But perhaps this is an apt analogy. As physicist Stephen Hawking wrote last year, AI would be “the biggest event in human history . . . unfortunately, it might also be the last.”

• ​Frans Hofmeester has filmed his now teenage daughter for 15 seconds every week from the day she was born. Over a time-lapse video, you are about to witness one of the most mysterious, profound processes of human life – growing up – accelerated into four minutes.

• New York City bans Styrofoam food containers.  Single-use Styrofoam containers are horrible, they don’t biodegrade so they pile up in landfills. Now New York City has joined a few others across the US and has announced a ban on single-use Styrofoam, set to go into law July 1 this year. While some are worried about the impact this new law will have on the food truck industry—Styrofoam is their container of choice—many cities, including San Francisco, have booming food truck industries living happily alongside Styrofoam bans.

• That Was Easy: In Just 60 Years, Neoliberal Capitalism Has Nearly Broken Planet Earth.  Humanity's rapacious growth and accelerated energy needs over the last generation—particularly fed by an economic system that demands increasing levels of consumption and inputs of natural resources—are fast driving planetary systems towards their breaking point, according to a new pair of related studies.

• In a TED Talk published, former scientist and now long-time Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard offers his simple solution to climate change, biodiversity loss and global inequality. The problem, he says, is selfishness, and the solution is altruism. It’s a simple—even naïve—idea, but Ricard makes a compelling case that altruism is a real, effective solution.

• ​“Research shows that around 87% of illnesses can be attributed to our thought life, and approximately 13% to diet, genetics and environment.  Studies conclusively link more chronic diseases (also known as lifestyle diseases) to an epidemic of toxic emotions in our culture."
  
• ​“Negative reinforcement releases negative chemicals.  Positive reinforcement releases positive chemicals...positive thoughts strengthen positive feedback loops and release biochemicals such as endorphins, enkephalins, and seratonin from the brain’s natural pharmacy.  Bathed in these environments, intellect flourishes, and with it mental and physical health."
  
• ​“It is true that the mind is a battleground, with ongoing conflict between toxic thoughts and good thoughts, thoughts that serve your mental and physical health well and thoughts that deplete your mind and body of health.  This battleground is located in the intricate memory networks, the amygdala, hippocampus, and corpus callous and the genetic code for free will.  Thoughts that you don’t deal with properly become suppressed and can cause emotional and physical harm.  What is ‘properly’? - At a basic level it is positive affirmation that replaces bad memories with supportive ones.  You literally build a new network of new memories over old."
  

•  "There is only one cause of unhappiness:  the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.  Because of these false beliefs you see the world and yourself in a distorted way.”  - Anthony de Mello
