The Grand Patchwork

Is it really that much of a stretch to say that neurons create a hive-mind consciousness!? To me, this is a perfectly reasonable explanation of how the field of consciousness is created in minds. Washburn (1913) discovered emergent conscious behaviour in amoeba. If single celled organisms like amoeba and paramicium can display learning and adaptive behaviour to their environment, then so ca...

Perhaps the reason why the material world is so pervasive an considered not an illusion is because there may be a different definition of a 'conscious observer' than previously thought? Is Panpsychism the key to the seamless projection of matter?

I just came out as an egalitarian to a mass of feminists today. I feel very judged, It's just that I resist labels and egalitarian seemed the best fit if I had to pick one. It seems as though whenever the term egalitarian is used, they respond back with the term humanitarian. I don't think I can claim this term either. As a vegetarian I feel this term excludes non-human animals. I also work a double day as I do the house work or a triple day because I have a child, the term feminist makes me ...

I intend to say the same thing in a trillion different ways. My underlying or permeating message is that there are things being treated like opposites, that should be working as compliments. One side spins in one direction, the other in the opposite (but at *equivalent rates). But just because they are mirror images, doesn't mean they can't work together as compliments. Western society seems to think they are antagonists and thus suppresses and oppresses the other. This is like saying it is s...

Hi everyone!  Again thanks for the interesting discussion inthe Ratzinger group today. For those who were there I wanted to clarify someideas that I'm not sure got across fully. 1. The reason why the only way to getto the kingdom is through Jesus. 2. To answer Alexandra's question about whichGod to choose in a pluralist society.<<>  3. Why have/need reason if it categorizes, separates anddisseminates, more often than unites.

Since, the quantitive section of the GRE does not test statistical knowledge that is relevant to Psychology, then why is it an admissions requirement? The test only measures how well you know how to take the test and how easily you are duped into falling for its tricks. This is therefore, not a valid measurement of statistical skills in psychology, let alone the maths that they are supposedly testing. While taking Psychology we are taught about questionnaires and are required to test and look...

I thought I might try making a facebook group It would go something like this...

New Age Inner Worldly Mystics Unite

 What is an Inner Worldly Mystic?

Mysticism is a journey of spiritual awakening usually experienced as an inward development of knowing one’s self and his or her connection with the universe. Mysticism can also be defined as a particular type of radical social movement (Weber, 1967) in the sense that it can create social change.  My...

What if the Kabbalah Tradition is correct and that in order to come into this world (or realm) our being or complete entity needs to split, sometimes in two and sometimes in three. If it splits in two it is most likely male and female, if it splits in 3, it plays out the Isis and Osiris senerio with two male and a one female counterpart. Unfortunately, as the story goes, the one male sleys the other and takes his wife to rule the world.

If Jung is correct and inside ea...

Check out this link! parts one and two are pretty good at explaining physics up to the tenth dimension (where according to the Kabbalah represents the loop back or the "blanking" that unites the numbers 1-9 back to the Ogdoad or whole which I refer to as the "Grand Transduction". Then this video relies on string theory to go further than the tenth dimension which is a dimension that produces the underlying vibration beh...

This is in response to the show called "The Nightmare" broadcasted on Space Feb 4th at 2 in the morning (produced by Paul Stevens). The idea that Altered states of Conciousness can happen spontaeously or can be evoked by religious/Spiritual ceremony is an old one. I love this show because it pokes fun of the debate between what state of consciousness is better than the other. I call it a debate because It tries to determine primacy thus impling one state of consciousness is better than t...
