Articles: "Viewed from the perspective of spirit, cosmologically in light of a hypothetical Big Bang, or through the scientific lens of E=MC2, the statement that everything is energy transcends the empirical domain of fact and approaches the metaphysical realm of Truth.
This even involves human physiology. The outmoded view of the body as a machine that may use energy but is somehow distinguishable from it is fast giving way to undeniable evidence that we, too, are conscious energy. This growing awareness of humans as energy beings is not merely occurring on the metaphysical fringes; it is happening at the heart of materialism: science.
Enlightened individuals have known for eons that spirit precedes matter, not the other way around, and that energy (often called consciousness) is reality's fundamental building block. Lately, physics has begun to arrive at the same conclusion. The holographic model interprets the so-called physical universe as a product of intersecting electromagnetic frequencies that energetically project the illusions we call the world ... and ourselves!
The notion that humans possess a detectable bioenergy field, sometimes termed the aura, is indisputable. In their book Future Science, John White and Stanley Krippner point out that nearly a hundred different cultures refer to the aura with nearly a hundred different names. The aura appears as a halo around Christian saints in sacred texts; Kirlian photography has captured the aura for decades; and recently, Dr. Valerie Hunt, UCLA professor and author of Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness, has even measured the human aura with an EEG machine.

Forthcoming Book on DNA Activation (Intro)
Forthcoming Book on DNA Activation (Intro): "Revolutionary new research in 'wave-genetics' reveals DNA can be activated--noninvasively--by radio and light waves keyed to human language frequencies. Studies by cell biologists further demonstrate that the genetic code can be stimulated through human consciousness--specifically, the unity consciousness associated with unconditional love--to heal not only the mind and spirit but the body as well. Benefits of DNA activation can range from allergy relief and increased energy to better relationships and even renewed life purpose. Since DNA regulates all physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our being, the possibilities are endless!"

Cleaner Rivers - On Paper
water quality is too bad for people, so let's lower our standards!!! Then it will be good enough for everyoneCleaner Rivers - On Paper: "TAMPA - Governments label the Hillsborough and Palm rivers 'impaired,' a way of saying they aren't suitable for swimming or fishing.
That unflattering description could be lifted soon - but not because the rivers are getting cleaner. Instead, state environmental officials may reduce required levels of dissolved oxygen - one component of a healthy river - to a point some scientists view as bad for fish, crabs and bottom-dwelling critters.
In other words, the state lowers the bar, and the rivers no longer are considered polluted.
Some environmental groups say changing the rules is a way for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to avoid setting pollution limits for the state's impaired waters, as required by the federal Clean Water Act. The limits are unpopular among polluters such as agriculture, paper mills and cities with sewage plants."

Sex Survey 'Eye-Opening' For Local Parents
Morals here In USA, since when... aren't our children taught about sex by the TV... certainly non one else teaches MoralsSex Survey 'Eye-Opening' For Local Parents: "The spring survey of more than 5,000 randomly selected Hillsborough students revealed other risky behaviors.
Among student-reported activity from four thick survey volumes compiled by the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
�Nearly one-third of high school students said they were propositioned to buy or bought or sold drugs while at school.
�Condom use decreases with age, dropping from 78 percent in eighth grade to 61.4 percent for high school seniors.
�More male high school students - 16 percent - reported being physically hurt by their significant others than female students, at 11.8 percent.
�More than 9 percent of male and nearly 12 percent of female high school students said they were physically forced to have sex.
'I know that is happening, because my son constantly gets letters from girls who want to do sexual things to him,' said Paula Thomas, mother of five children ages 9 to 16. 'It starts in the sixth or seventh grade.'
At school, the Citrus Park mother said, 'They know to stay out of certain hallways because of the girls.'"

From meditation to diet, life experiences profoundly change the structure and connectivity of the brain
OUR brains form a million new connections for every second of our lives. It is a mind-blowing statistic, and one that highlights the amazing flexibility of our most enigmatic organ. While the figure emphasises how much we still have to learn about brain structure, it also reveals the huge importance of our everyday experiences in making our brains what they are.
Anatomy, neural networks and genes are yesterday's hot topics. Today, neuroscientists are increasingly concentrating on how the way we live our lives creates profound and often long-lasting changes in the structure and connectivity of our brains. They are focusing on how influences as diverse as our emotions, environment, social interactions and even our spiritual lives help make us tick.
To reflect this shift, the Society for Neuroscience in Washington DC last week invited a leading religious figure to open its annual meeting for the first time. The Dalai Lama "

Central Doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism
Auxilary to this?? Maybe it is that the emptiness mearly implies existance is based on the cooperation of all things. The only definition and separtion of one thing to the next is caused simply by all these things Being here. Mab has chosen to be separate. The nothingness of the mind, where we hold onto no particular reality creates the "space" for allowing other things to be, and subject their beingness onto the mind.... whereby we can know all things. So the nothingness brings the beingness of everything into us.... So "what we do an think in our own lives becomes of extreme importance as it affects everything we are connected to."*
Central Doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism: "The philosophical outlook of all four Schools of Tibetan Buddhism is the Mahayana doctrine of emptiness. On this view, all things and events are said to be devoid of any intrinsic and absolute existence. They come into being due to the aggregation of multiple causes and conditions. Not only is their material existence dependent upon other factors, even their very identity as they are is contingent upon other factors, such as language, thought and concepts that together make up worldly convention. This absence of intrinsic existence and intrinsic identity is what is referred to as 'emptiness' and is considered to be the ultimate truth of all things and events. One of the most profound implications of this theory of emptiness is that it suggests that all things and events come into being only by means of a process of dependent origination. They are dependent upon other factors, and this fundamental truth about the nature of reality is understood best through a language of interdependence and interrelationship of things."

New Horizons for Learning: Transforming Education
New Horizons for Learning: Transforming Education: "The Power of Mindful Learning
by: Ellen J. Langer
Perseus Publishing, 1998
ISBN: 0201339919
Take everything you have ever been taught about education, and throw it out. Look at everything in a new light, a mindful state.
If the basics become second nature, then true learning stops taking place. Learners become so conditioned to seeing things a certain way, the ?right? way, that they don?t learn, don?t challenge, don?t question. Real learning takes place in a ?mindful? environment, one that provides a context for the subject we are studying and allows us to bring something of ourselves into the process.
When speaking about her book to teachers in the Edmonds School District this fall, Langer told the story of watching someone set the table and put the fork on the right. The RIGHT? What was that person thinking? Everyone knows that the fork belongs on the left; then, she stopped herself. She had overlearned this fact and no longer doubted that sacred place of the fork on the table. Why did it belong on the left? There could be benefits to placing the fork on either side of the plate. Langer argues that teachers must teach facts conditionally to allow for doubt and more learning to take place.
She further illustrates this point with a study of two groups of piano students, one taught through repetition and memorization of scales, while the other encouraged to respond to their own thoughts and emotions. The second group ended up being more competent and more creative. Langer challenges educators to use this knowledge to rethink teaching.
