Sleep Paralysis and the Paranormal As someone who has experienced sleep paralysis many times, I am always interested to hear more about it. Scientific explanations are just as compelling to me as the more paranormal claims – and I am usually caught somewhere in the middle when I consider my own theories on it. Here is an interesting group of personal accounts and responses from an expert on the subject that you may find enlightening: Sleep Paralysis and the Paranormal “Recently, I have been contacted by several readers who are all asking the same basic question.

Mayan Conservationists
Mayan Conservationists We must begin to learn from the mistakes of the past – When the ancient Maya abandoned their forest conservation practices, it was to the detriment of their entire culture. Ancient Mayans practiced forest conservation 3,000 years ago Washington, July 27 (ANI): In a new study, scientists from the University of Cincinnati (UC) have determined that the ancient Mayans practiced forest conservation about 3,000 years ago. Paleoethnobotanist David Lentz from the University of Cincinnati has concluded that not only did the Maya people practice forest management, but when they abandoned their forest conservation practices, it was to the detriment of the entire Maya culture. “From our research we…

To Regress or Not To Regress?
To Regress or Not To Regress? Health Ministry to hypnotists: Stop helping clients explore past lives By Haaretz Health Correspondent, Dan Even Israeli hypnotists were told to refrain from helping clients explore past lives, following a recent decision on the matter by a special Health Ministry advisory committee. The Advisory Committee on the Law on Hypnosis made the ruling following complaints by clients who said that they had sustained serious emotional damage because of reincarnation hypnosis sessions. Israel has several experts on reincarnation hypnosis, who give sessions that aim to “discover who they were in past lives,” as Dr. Lianna Sofer defines her treatments. “The reincarnation hypnosis allows us to…

…believe a few impossible things
…believe a few impossible things From Wired. The Truth Is Out There, and the Nation’s Maddest Scientists Are After It “Paranormal phenomena aren’t just for Fox Mulder, Melinda Gordon, and Rod Serling. Even top academics can’t resist a good ghost story. And maybe that’s for the better: Brilliant ideas often seem crazy at first. Scientific American dubbed the Wright Brothers “the Lying Brothers” despite test flights witnessed by trainloads of startled onlookers. More obscure findings can fare worse: Germs, quarks, black holes, and continental drift were all once considered laughable. Still, impeccably credentialed scientists persist, as Lewis Carroll’s White Queen says, in trying to believe a few impossible things before…

Is There a God Chemical?
Is There a God Chemical? The God Chemical: Brain Chemistry And Mysticism by Barbara Bradley Hagerty All Things Considered · For much of the 20th century, mainstream science shied away from studying spirituality. “Sigmund Freud declared God to be a delusion, and others maintained that God, if there is such a thing, is beyond the tools of science to measure.

The search is in its infancy, and scientists doubt they will ever be able to prove — or…

The Great Book In The Sky
The Great Book In The Sky Synchronicity. Is it happening to you more thanusual lately? I’ve been doing a lot of research on the paradigm shift that is supposed to occur in 2012 (according to various prophesies we are heading for the End Times, others expect the beginning of something mystical and wonderful), and there seems to be an overwhelming sense out there that coincidence and serendipity are the horsemen of this particular “apocalypse”. Are coincidences just coincidences? Even for the most skeptical, it’s hard to deny the weirdness when it happens to you. My husband, a down to earth sort of guy, had a dream featuring an an ex…
