Perhaps the greatest obstacle to developing profound intuition is the civilisational barrier. Mainstream Western science and education has rejected most of the cognitive functions associated with spirituality, religion and superstition – which are often naively placed in the same category. Given that the idea of a brain-transcending cognitive mental ability is clearly considered “paranormal,” or equated with mental illness, we set out on the journey to profound intuition on rather uneasy footing.
Charles Darwin, as we all know, was a great scientist who meticulously laid bare the myth of a purposeful hand in evolution, instead revealing that blind chance and survival of the fittest are what lie behind the evolution of species. He was vehemently opposed to religious and spiritual thought, instead insisting upon the empirical investigation […]
So you want to convince that skeptic about the validity of your spiritual perceptions. This is a problem faced by every person with a spiritual perspective. Here’s Marcus T Anthony video response.
The soul’s journey is one of grace. The universe guides us and nurtures us, much like a loving parent. But that parent knows the value of tough love. Oftentimes it leads us into places that lead to suffering, where that suffering can deepen our wisdom. And it is perfectly willing to allow us to make foolish choices which can lead to painful outcomes.
The Other Singularity will see the extended mind and psi experience as accepted parts of society, education and business. Many opportunities and obstacles await you because of this. In this second part of “The OTHER Singularity,” Marcus T. Anthony focuses on the practical side of the coming shift in human consciousness: what you can do about it, and what difficulties you might encounter.
Science will change to acknowledge the extended mind and Integrated Intelligence Education, and Society will follow. The extended mind is the idea that consciousness extends beyond the confines of the brain and skull, and is in relationship with the environment – including other people, places, times and spiritual dimensions. Once the extended mind is acknowledged, it will radically shift the way humanity sees itself, including its place in the cosmos. The implications for science, philosophy and society will be enormous.
Stop being so spiritual. It’s a trap. Just be here. Just like “them.” Spiritual “practice” can cut you off from people and the world, and leave you feeling decidedly disconnected. Fragmented, even.
Many who see themselves as committed to psychological and spiritual growth embrace a healing journey, but never quite arrive at their destination. Here’s why…
What do we really know about the intrinsic nature of consciousness and its essential role (if any) in the nature of cosmos? Probably a lot less than many would assume. There is no question that our knowledge of brains has expanded massively in the past century. But what does all this data about brains really tell us about consciousness?
In the end, integrating the shadow and the darkness (and embracing the Light) is mostly about being present to both, and having the courage to stay present rather than running.
Most people do not realize that researching and writing masters and doctoral theses, papers, and books can actually be an exciting and inspirational process. The key is being able to tap into your natural capacity for inspiration at will. And you can do that with “Free-Form Writing,” stream-of-consciousness prose, written fluidly, quickly and without immediate editing or too much conscious analytical thinking. It is essentially ‘effortless’ writing.
Human futures can never be merely about more technology, comfort and convenience. We have to open a space for people to move inward and develop an understanding of their minds at a first-person level. Some futurists think that a future where we can load our minds onto computers will be a utopia. Personally, I think that even if this is done, if those ‘minds’ remains as unconscious and ego-based as the vast majority we encounter on the internet today, all that we will get is a cyber-dystopia. A universe of ranting mental projections raging against… well, the machine. A machine in which we have imprisoned ourselves.
Empowered, deeply embodied men and women are not a threat to each other. We need to start listening to each other, being present with each other. Learning how to love again. Now is the right time to begin. Let there be (genuine) healing and empowerment for men. And for women.
If you fail to rein in your need for drama, you disempower yourself. Drama robs you of any chance of being fully present. The higher your propensity for drama, the less creative energy you have left to manifest your dreams.
A spiritual teacher is called upon to serve Spirit. At a very practical level, you have to decide what it is you are selling. This may not seem very spiritual, but actually there is nothing unspiritual about selling or making money. Remember, in the end it is all an exchange of energy.
