The universe tends to reflect back to us the contents of our own minds. I call this the general principle of attraction. I don’t like to use the term “law of attraction” (even though I used it in the book title, below), simply because the latter term tends to be used to suggest that we […]
When you “believe” in karma it is no different from believing in any other story or belief. You are forming an attachment to a story.
Michio Kaku is a chronic offender in this area, which is rather surprising given that his entire career is devoted to imagining science-based futures. Here’s what he says about telepathy in his book “The Future of the Mind”.
The problem for all of us is that the mind tends to be highly judgmental. It likes to make immediate and definite discriminations regarding what it sees. Yet those judgments are often informed by past experience, one’s knowledge base, beliefs, and the way things look up front.
The third thing you are going to need if you want to develop profound intuition is commitment. And this means dedication, persistence and patience. The intuitive mind is an alien beast to most of us in the modern world. We all use intuition, of course. But few of us employ it regularly, nor trust it emphatically.
Developing the intuitive mind will be met with resistance from your “rational” mind. The rational, analytical mind is used to being in control. It is also used to seeing itself as a discrete, isolated entity, separate from the world.
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?
