Levitation (paranormal) A representation of a person levitating. Various religions have claimed examples of levitation amongst their followers. This is generally used either as a demonstration of the validity or power of the religion,[5] or as evidence of the holiness or adherence to the religion of the particular levitator. In Hinduism, it is believed that some Hindu gurus who have become siddhas (those who have achieved spiritual powers) have the siddhi (power) of being able to levitate. Levitation is said to be possible by mastering the Hindu philosophy of yoga: Yogi Subbayah Pullavar, was reported to have levitated into the air for four minutes in front of a crowd of 150 witnesses, June 6, 1936. It was believed in Hellenism (the pagan religion of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome) on the testimony of Philostratus that upon his death, Apollonius of Tyana underwent heavenly assumption by levitating into Elysium.[9] "Demonic" levitation in Christianity Dr. Film Games
Spiritual direction Spiritual direction is the practice of being with people as they attempt to deepen their relationship with the divine, or to learn and grow in their own personal spirituality. The person seeking direction shares stories of his or her encounters of the divine, or how he or she is experiencing spiritual issues. The director listens and asks questions to assist the directee in his or her process of reflection and spiritual growth. Spiritual direction develops a deeper relationship with the spiritual aspect of being human. Forms[edit] Regular direction can involve a one to two hour meeting every four to eight weeks, and thus is slightly less intense than retreat direction, although spiritual exercises and disciplines are often given for the directee to attempt between meetings. If the directee is on a retreat (lasting a weekend, a week or even 40 days), he or she will generally meet with their director on a daily basis for one hour.

Coronavirus: How the world of work may change forever - BBC Worklife Indranil Roy: Executive Director, Human Capital practice, Deloitte ConsultingHow can companies become ‘virtual first’? More than half of the global workforce is working remotely and as the pandemic continues to threaten health, we are looking at a prolonged period of hybrid working – from home and office in different proportions. Some lessons learned: we can accomplish most tasks remotely without significant drop in productivity or quality. Most employees appreciate flexibility, especially those with long commute times. Over time, however, face-to-face interaction is required to facilitate collaboration, build relationships, solve complex challenges and generate ideas. Continuous remote work extends the work day, diffuses work-life boundaries and reduces mental wellbeing. Given these pros and cons, organisations have to rethink their working arrangements. With these four critical moves, organisations can transit to a hybrid-workforce model and build a “virtual-first” enterprise.

Russian Scientist Photographs the Soul Leaving the Body, With a Special Camera Does the soul exists? According to Dr. Konstantin G. Korotkov, a Russian scientist, the soul does exist and he has evidence showing that there is something beyond death. The idea that there is a soul has been part of the human culture for millennia. I believe one day someone will invent a technology that can prove the existence of the soul. “The amazing moment of a soul separating from the body has reportedly been captured by a Russian researcher.The Russian scientist claims to have achieved the impossible by photographing a soul that leaves the body of a dying person. The following short video does a great job of trying to convince you that the soul is real. However, I do sense that this video contains some misleading information about the soul.

Third eye A Cambodian Shiva head showing a third eye. In some traditions such as Hinduism, the third eye is said to be located around the middle of the forehead, slightly above the junction of the eyebrows. In other traditions, as in Theosophy, it is believed to be connected with the pineal gland. According to this theory, humans had in far ancient times an actual third eye in the back of the head with a physical and spiritual function. In religion[edit] Hindu tradition associates the third eye with the ajna, or brow, chakra.[1] In Taoism and many traditional Chinese religious sects such as Chan (a cousin to the Zen school), "third eye training" involves focusing attention on the point between the eyebrows with the eyes closed, and while the body is in various qigong postures. According to the Christian teaching of Father Richard Rohr, the concept of the third eye is a metaphor for non-dualistic thinking; the way the mystics see. Adherents of theosophist H.P.

Shi'ur Qomah Shi’ur Qomah (Hebrew: שיעור קומה, lit. Divine Dimensions or Elevation Gate) is a Midrashic text that is part of the Heichalot literature. It purports to record, in anthropomorphic terms, the secret names and precise measurements of God’s corporeal limbs and parts. The majority of the text is recorded in the form of sayings or teachings that the angel Metatron revealed to the Tannaic Sage, Rabbi Yishmael who transmitted it to his students and his contemporary Rabbi Akiva. Provenance & Rabbinic Understanding[edit] Currently the text exists only in fragmentary form, and scholars have debated how to appropriately date it.

Computational design tool for graphic designers | Mladý pes What we love is developing tools that help others with their work. This article is about the mixture of computation with graphic design and motion design. 436 studio, the creators of visual identity of Biela noc [Nuit Blanche] 2016 approached us with a request to create a computational design tool for them. Brief was simple – text, where characters are made of white dots in several layers, should disassemble over time. Having a lot of freedom with the disassembling mechanism and little time, we jumped right in. We created a custom editor with three modes of behavior. The editor includes exports of multi sampled FBO’s to (very big) raster images and video and was developed with OpenFrameworks. You can see sample outcomes created by us in the following 2 videos. Here, the video shows how the editor itself and the realtime design work looks like. Having a computational design tool like this not only saves the designers a lot of time. Web and mobile app. Bag.

Culture Vaults : Resonant Frequencies and the Human Brain One of the great revelations of 20th century science is that all existence can be broken down into simple wave functions. Every photon, energy emission, and elementary particle rings with its own unique wave signature. When we see a color, we are actually seeing a distinct frequency of visible light. When we hear a sound, our eardrums are actually being vibrated by subtle waves in the air molecules around us. By studying the way that waves interact with other waves, researchers have found that even low-powered oscillations can have enormous effects on standing waves, physical structures, and even the human brain. Tesla first realized the massive potential of resonant waves in 1898 when he performed a simple experiment with an electromechanical oscillator the size of an alarm clock. In a later experiment using the same principle, Tesla clamped an oscillator to one of the exposed ground floor beams of a half built ten-story steel building. "The principle cannot fail," Tesla would say.
20 Effective Ways to Clear and Protect Against Negative Energy By Banu Sekendur Guest Writer for Wake Up World We live in a world of duality, as it is intended to be. This means that there is good and bad as well as right and wrong. This yin-yang theory exists within and without. The reason why the earth plane is a great school for a soul’s expansion is this very reason. This basically means that there are people and energies that we encounter who offer us the lessons we need while we walk our path here. Though this article is mostly for HSPs (Highly Sensitive People), empaths and intuitives, it applies to everyone walking on this planet. What Are Some of the Signs That You Have Picked Up Negative Energies? You may get dropped calls, or a sudden, passing static on your phone while speaking to someone at a location where you don’t normally have that experience.You may start feeling depressed out of the blue (!) The possibilities are endless, so ultimately it’s up to each of us to recognize and make note of these patterns, as they are personal. 1. 2.
Tao Tao or Dao (/taʊ/, /daʊ/; Chinese: 道; pinyin: Dào ) is a Chinese concept signifying 'way', 'path', 'route', or sometimes more loosely, 'doctrine' or 'principle', or as a verb, speak. Within the context of traditional Chinese philosophy and religion, Tao is a metaphysical concept originating with Laozi that gave rise to a religion (Wade–Giles, Tao Chiao; Pinyin, Daojiao) and philosophy (Wade–Giles, Tao chia; Pinyin, Daojia) referred to in English with the single term Taoism. The concept of Tao was shared with Confucianism, Chán and Zen Buddhism and more broadly throughout East Asian philosophy and religion in general. In all its uses, Tao is considered to have ineffable qualities that prevent it from being defined or expressed in words. The concept of Tao differs from conventional (western) ontology: it is an active and holistic conception of Nature, rather than a static, atomistic one.

Esotericism Esotericism (or esoterism) signifies the holding of esoteric opinions or beliefs,[1] that is, ideas preserved or understood by a small group of those specially initiated, or of rare or unusual interest.[2] The term derives from the Greek, either from the comparative ἐσώτερος (esôteros), "inner", or from its derived adjective ἐσωτερικός (esôterikos), "pertaining to the innermost".[3] The term can also refer to the academic study of esoteric religious movements and philosophies, or to the study of those religious movements and philosophies whose proponents distinguish their beliefs, practices, and experiences from mainstream exoteric and more dogmatic institutionalized traditions.[4] Although esotericism refers to an exploration of the hidden meanings and symbolism in various philosophical, historical, and religious texts, the texts themselves are often central to mainstream religions. For example, the Bible and the Torah are considered esoteric material.[7] Etymology[edit] Definition[edit]
