9 Mind-Bending Epiphanies That Turned My World Upside-Down | Spirit Science and Metaphysics Over the years I’ve learned dozens of little tricks and insights for making life more fulfilling. They’ve added up to a significant improvement in the ease and quality of my day-to-day life. But the major breakthroughs have come from a handful of insights that completely rocked my world and redefined reality forever. The world now seems to be a completely different one than the one I lived in about ten years ago, when I started looking into the mechanics of quality of life. It wasn’t the world (and its people) that changed really, it was how I thought of it. Maybe you’ve had some of the same insights. 1. The first time I heard somebody say that — in the opening chapter of The Power of Now — I didn’t like the sound of it one bit. I see quite clearly now that life is nothing but passing experiences, and my thoughts are just one more category of things I experience. If you can observe your thoughts just like you can observe other objects, who’s doing the observing? 2. Of course! 3. 4. 5.
The Sacred Geometry of Personality, Thought and Feeling | Spirit Science The rules of the game are about to change. And by about to, I mean they already have. *wink* Long, long ago, there was a realm filled with happy faces and sad faces. Today, the war continues on…. Certainly history has defined that telling each tribe their view is wrong – is NOT the answer. The world we see is but a thin film. We like things to be simple and easily digestible. I will not save you. The key to suffering is to learn and practice loving thy self, and knowing that you are everyone and everything – and thus self love is the practice of loving All. There are many ways that we can put this into practice. And there is the male way. Sacred Geometry is the study of particular 3D shapes in the Universe. Every Yin has a Yang. If we are to truly learn something new, we must apply our knowledge of Sacred Geometry to a world other than the physical world. Platonic Solids vs Archimedean Solids These are Archimedean Solids Like any other 3D object, we have sides. It all comes down to this:
Why We Feel Lonely, Part 1 | infp Blog Why We Feel Lonely, Part 1 | Thoughts on the INFP Personality Type from an INFP A boy goes to his mom and says, “I’m bored.” The mom replies, “Then you should stop being boring.” This lesson applies in different variations. If I’m lonely, then I stop being alone. In my early 20′s, I thought loneliness stemmed from feeling disconnected, and that disconnection was caused by having no people in my life who really understood me. So fixing my loneliness was about fixing the disconnection. It took me a decade before I realized that we don’t feel lonely because we’re disconnected. I was trying to fix the wrong problem. How We Become Alone Being alone comes from separating our Self from others. Introverts can take alone time in a crowded bookstore full of strangers. The Miriam-Webster dictionary gives three definitions for alone. separated from others : I want be aloneexclusive of anyone or anything else : she alone knows whyincomparable, unique : alone among their contemporaries in this respect Part 1: Intentional Separation (Us-vs-Them Mentality) A Basis for Friendship 1. 2.
The Super Genius System It's what every kid dreams of. Having super hero powers! We all want to be able to fly, be incredibly strong, be able to turn invisible or have X-ray vision! I'm not sure that we can ever levitate, fly, or turn invisible but I do know there are certain super powers you can develop. What is a super genius? Do you have any other ideas about what a super genius is? How Do You Become A Super Genius? 1. 2. 3. The first is an ancient system of training your mind. The second system for becoming a super genius has been originated by modern scientists and researchers and involves specific brain training exercises that unleash your genius powers. By Susan Meindl Recent research by social psychologist Elaine Aron and her team describes a set of human characteristics which she calls “high sensitivity.” Her research suggests that approximately 15-20% of the human (and for that matter animals) have evolved to be markedly more responsive to their environment. It is not that these “highly sensitive people” (HSPs) are gifted with super-hearing or hyper-acute vision but rather, that they have nervous systems and minds which permit more stimulation to enter without automatically and unconsciously shutting it out, and further, that they then cognitively process the stimulation that they receive in more detail than others do. What do we mean by “stimulation? Stimulation comes in on all sensory channels: sights, sounds, smells, vibrations, touch. HSP’s typically respond strongly and quickly reach their natural level of tolerance in loud, bright or chaotic environments. Five kinds of over-stimulation which can contribute to depression
There’s always a nice feeling that I get after watching a TED talk. Either it’s a feeling of awareness, of power, a matter to meditate about or just some friendly advice, those inspiring talks make you think. The fact is that we stumble across inspirational articles and videos everyday, but how many of them really succeed in inspiring us to such an extent that we actually take action? We’ve picked four TED Talks that we believe could inspire you to change your life, provided you actually try to put something in practice after viewing them. Nic Marks – The happy planet index Statistician Nic Marks introduces the idea of measuring the success of a nation by its well-being and happiness, instead of its productivity. Tony Porter – A call to men Tony Porter speaks about the standards about being a man, and the attitude that is preached for generations and generations as the right attitude for a man: tough, never cries, keeps his head up, strong; and effects that this attitude has on women.
Note: There are many different sorts of paradoxes. Most of the paradoxes referred to here would be categorized as dialethia. © 2007, 2008 Jonathan Zap Edited by Austin Iredale “Words that are strictly true seem to be paradoxical.” “There is nothing absolute and final. “Objection, evasion, joyous distrust, and love of irony are signs of health. Dynamic paradoxicalism is my attempt to create a meta-philosophy that is a counter to fundamentalist and absolutist thought, which is nearly as common amongst New Agers and the Left as it is amongst religious fundamentalists and the Right. Dynamic paradoxicalism is based on the the principle that the opposite of a profound truth is often another profound truth. “Bohr challenged another scientific shibboleth in 1927 by proposing that opposites were not necessarily either/or, as all earlier Western dualistic thinkers had assumed, but rather might be both/and. “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. Adapting to Circumstance vs. Oneness vs.
Last week, I wrote about the challenge of doing the right things vs. the nice things. As simple as the idea is, it can be far more complicated in real life. Sometimes it’s hard to discern – which is the right choice? This question of right things vs. nice things is not an esoteric discussion. Here are a few considerations when you’re trying to separate the right things from the nice ones. What are you paid to do? What are your goals? What are the long-term implications? What were you made to do? What does your gut tell you to do? As I mentioned last week, my challenge is often finding the courage to do what I know I should do. Here’s the bottom line… To maximize our impact we’ve got to trade the nice things for the right things. Good luck!
ten ways to be a great host Between high school and college I went to school in England and stayed often with a family in London. The parents, Tim and Caroline Gladstone, were the kindest and best hosts I've ever encountered. Whenever I rang their doorbell, Caroline would greet me, welcome me right in the door with my dirty backpack from the train station or airport, and ask me whether I wanted to eat first or wash up. While this seemed like an odd question the first time I showed up at their door, I soon realized that it was the BEST one and accurately captured the two greatest areas of need or discomfort I could possibly have upon any arrival. Caroline would then proceed to set me up with the further instructions that Tim and she would meet me afterwards in the dining room to hear about everything I'd done, at which time, they'd also give me their complete schedule for the next few days. 10 Ways To Be A Great Host 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

All of my blogs are inspired by something. Something I read, a conversation I had, a video I watched, something someone did, or often said. It’s a Vesica Pisces, which I wrote about in this blog. Todays blog is a combination of several of these things. What is important that what he said was basically that the shift is going to happen sometime in the next few years, and we pretty much just gotta wait for it, and if nothing happens, then all of the mayans and prophecies are wrong. As I was sitting there, listening to that… It got me thinking… I need to write a blog about this. I know, I used to say the exact same thing, and as i’ve been growing over the past year, my understanding of it has changed quite a bit. You might have seen “The Time for Separate Movements has Passed” floating around on the web in the past few months, around Pair O’ Dime Shift (I think its on one of the videos, as well as the Are You The One? It’s up to all of us to change this world. What does that mean?
