An experiment regarding smell made the news recently – part of a series of ever more important experiemnst that have been conducted in teh past years that shows how important the sense of smell, and the flow of molecules thru the air between people, is for our social experience and behaviors. So, first, let me [...]

I have a saying, kind of a principle, that goes like this, with a few minor variations. “Don’t seek enlightenment, enlightenment will take care of itself. Seek wisdom.”. One of the classic types of wisdom that reappears in teh human culture streams over and over around the planet is stoicism, in some variation or another. [...] Having many times had the experience of ‘contacting alien intelligences’ thru the curious methodology of astral projection training, I can certainly confirm that this kind of experience – the vivid sense of communication with “aliens” – does happen during astral projection training and so-called ‘astral travel’. I’m not claiming the experiences are true. Any close [...] I personally am more interested in qabalah than kabbalah. Qaabalah is the fusion product of the mixing of european hermeticism and memory theatre technology with the bits and pieces of kabbalistic teachings that started to move thru the european noosphere and culturesphere as a result of the religions turmoil that first allowed islam and judaism [...] Anyone studying brain and mind is likely to have noticed that certain things can change the speed and intensity of perception, and change the way memories of events are created and stored. Here’s an article about this phenomenon, suggesting the the brain speeds up in times of crisis – presumably triggered by some combination of [...] Death, the contemplation and confrontation of death, the implications of death, and coping with the experience of death of loved ones and the shock of possible death for oneself, is the major impetus for esoteric and spiritual thinking and philosophy building. That is, death is the origin of religions, and death is the origin of [...] Several articles about the mental differences between lucky and unlucky people have come out recently, all apparently triggered by the book the author of this current article is trying to sell. However, the ideas involved are worth thinking about for esoteric practicioners and explorers, so I picked this article as an example of the bunch, [...] Relevant to brain studies, behavior studies (smell and molecular communication play a larger role than most people realize in behaviors and experience), and the popular topic and theme of ‘vibration’ in the esoteric culture materials… How a new science and industry of scent chemicals is evolving from chemists and biologists applying a theory of smell [...] This Sciam article discusses a recent experiment with memory, that illustrates some of the complex detail that our memory can store. The experiment demonstrated that with a visual image to trigger memory recall, ordinary humans were able to quickly match and compare a really large number of details. I thought a boingboing’s poster’s take on [...] I thought this article was interesting. Isolation is one of the common elements in most kinds of self-development practices, at least at certain stages. And, I think a lot of the people that are attracted to self-development are the introspective types, who are happy enough without being in the centers of groups, enough so that [...] |
