diaphanous spirit
diaphanous spirit Here is a lovely piece from Daily Om - Journey of the Senses: Incense Meditation When we focus on incense sticks during meditation, we move into a mystical space that is both physical and spiritual at once. Like us, the incense stick is earthbound with an ember that burns for only a finite time, but the diaphanous spirit it releases is unbound by time or space. Rather than shutting down our senses to focus on an inner realm, incense involves our senses as we follow whirling smoke upward and outward while we take its scent into us, filling us as we breathe. The journey starts with a flame,…

I heard a robot buzz when I died…
I heard a robot buzz when I died… I have always been afraid of robots. But now that I am all grown up, I think I mostly worry for them. It seems that one day in the future we will quite possibly create artificially intelligent life – but what then? Will these creatures live and then die? Will they have souls? Here we are still fumbling with the concept of our own human souls, wondering if we will maintain our consciousness in some way after we die – when we are slammed with an overlapping question: Where do the artificial lifeforms go when they die? And if they have souls,…

The Philosophy of Reality
The Philosophy of Reality As a follow up to an earlier post about the connection between science and magic, I thought I would post the following news: Science Cannot Fully Describe Reality, Says Templeton Prize Winner By David Lindley ScienceNOW Daily News What is reality? French physicist Bernard d’Espagnat, 87, has spent a lifetime grappling with this question. Over the years, he has developed the idea that the reality revealed by science offers only a “veiled” view of an underlying reality that science cannot access, and that the scientific view must take its place alongside the reality revealed by art, spirituality, and other forms of human inquiry. In recognition of…

Archive for April, 2009 Gratitude: Not in Exile Dalai Lama thanks India for 50 years in exile NEW DELHI, India (CNN) — Cloaked in a traditional flowing red and saffron Tibetan robe the Dalai Lama took a deep breath as he began to express his gratitude to the country that took him in as a refugee 50 years ago. “I think in this country (there are) many other refugees,” the Dalai Lama reflected, sitting cross legged. “But we are I think (the) most fortunate and successful refugee community because of (the) government of India’s care and support.” His journey to India was a treacherous one. The year was 1959. Tibetans…

What The Alchemist Got Right…
What The Alchemist Got Right… Oddly, as we advance scientifically it seems as if science itself is becoming more esoteric. For example, Alchemy may be be in the process of “reincarnating” as modern science (see the article below). String theory, chaos theory, and my favorite: Regenerative Medicine (recently a man was able to grow back a fingertip by applying a powder made from pig bladder!) are modern sciences that are nothing short of magical. So, where do we draw the line separating magic from science? Are these two seemingly at odds disciplines actually THE SAME THING? Good as gold What alchemists got right By Stephen Heuser (The Boston Globe) THREE…

The Greatest Archaeological Discovery Ever?
The Greatest Archaeological Discovery Ever? Very compelling evidence, indeed! Do these mysterious stones mark the site of the Garden of Eden? By Tom Knox For the old Kurdish shepherd, it was just another burning hot day in the rolling plains of eastern Turkey. Following his flock over the arid hillsides, he passed the single mulberry tree, which the locals regarded as ‘sacred’. The bells on his sheep tinkled in the stillness. Then he spotted something. Crouching down, he brushed away the dust, and exposed a strange, large, oblong stone. The man looked left and right: there were similar stone rectangles, peeping from the sands. Calling his dog to heel, the…

Green Light, Go!
Green Light, Go! M.J. has sold a pilot for a one-hour drama to Fox (to be directed by the director of “House”), based on The Reincarnationist!

Schiff will play a scientist who is a legend in the field of reincarnation.” From Baltimore Sun - “Reincarnation pilot filming here has good shot at Fox While…

The List of Unusual Deaths
The List of Unusual Deaths Alas, a list of unusual deaths – unique or extremely rare circumstances – recorded throughout history. The list also includes less rare, but still unusual, deaths of prominent people. My question is: Does an unusual death tend to cause an unusual rebirth? Some people believe that the next incarnation will sometimes reflect the circumstances of the reborn’s previous experience in death – oftentimes physically – as in Dr. Ian Stephenson’s work with people who have been born with unusual markings. Click here for an article with photographs regarding this research. Emily K. Editor on 12 Mar 2009 | Near Death & Reincarnation &Uncategorized | Comments…
