    Goodbye Big Bang, hello black hole? A new theory of the universe's creation

    Could the famed "Big Bang" theory need a revision? A group of theoretical physicists suppose the birth of the universe could have happened after a four-dimensional star collapsed into a black hole and ejected debris.

    Circadian clock's rhythm ensures steady energy supply to cells during times of fasting .... James Brown - Mind Power - YouTube

    Each of our cells has an energy furnace, and it is called a mitochondrion. A Northwestern University-led research team now has identified a new mode of timekeeping that involves priming the cell's furnace to properly use stored fuel when we are not eating.

    Read more at:
    The interdisciplinary team has identified the "match" and "flint" responsible for lighting this tiny furnace. And the match is only available when the circadian clock says so, underscoring the importance of the biological timing system to metabolism.

    "Circadian clocks are with us on Earth because they have everything to do with energy," said Joe Bass, M.D., who led the research. "If an organism burns its energy efficiently, it has a better chance of survival. Our results tell us how the circadian clock triggers the cell's energy-burning process. Cells are most capable of using fuel when the clock is working properly."

    Stronger sexual impulses, not weaker self-control, may explain why men cheat more than women, study reveals

    Previous research has shown that men are more likely than women to pursue romantic partners that are "off limits." However, until now, the explanation for this sex difference was largely unexplored.

    One possible explanation for this effect is that men experience stronger sexual impulses than women do. A second possibility is that women have better self-control than men. The current study's results support the former explanation and provide new insight into humans' evolutionary origins.

    There is no coming to consciousness without pain - Carl Jung

    Suffering is the ultimate spiritual guide. If you are suffering, it means you have an opportunity to evolve. There is a lesson in everything, even if the lesson may not be apparent right now. The fact that the lesson is not apparent is the whole point of you experiencing this life. Thank the universe for sending you this experience to stimulate your evolution. We all make it home safe in the end. Don't be afraid to feel and learn from what life has to show you.

    those were just words .... yet your imagination took over and transported you somewhere ( in a way using your innate ability for Empathy )

    or is an adaptation of a book into a movie usually better than the written words

    "French Physicist Creates New Melodies - Plant Songs"

    Remember those song birds we used to hear in the fields? The sounds of animals in nature singing a symphony of soft and subtle sounds as all things flow together to create a living and vibrant concerto? Science is now showing that these sounds actually do influence the growth of plants. Researchers have demonstrated that plants respond to sounds in pro-found ways which not only influence their overall health but also increase the speed of growth and the size of the plant

    Shamanic Birth: The Union of Ecstatic and Sacred Birthing | The Shaman's Well




    The Ecstatic Hormones of Labor and Birth


    As a women progresses in labor she naturally falls into a birth trance facilitated by the release of ecstatic hormones, including oxytocin and endorphins. These hormones of labor are nature's perfect design to support women to give birth naturally with the potential for ecstatic, orgasmic, and even pain-free birth. When a women is allowed to labor and birth with privacy, patience, and the intimacy of those she feels the most comfortable with, then she and the baby are able to experience peak states of consciousness through the shamanic journey of ecstatic birth.

    The hormones of oxytocin, beta-endorphins, nor-adrenaline, and prolactin all work together to enhance labor, decrease pain, and facilitate deep love and bonding. Oxytocin is known as the love hormone and rises during labor, peaking at birth, facilitating the mother and baby to fall deeply in love and bond. Beta-endorphins are nature's opiates and allow mothers to fall into the birth trance reducing pain. Nor-adrenaline rises during the pushing stage and peaks at birth to focus the mother and baby to be alert for the immediate birth and initial bonding upon emergence. Prolactin is the mothering hormone, released during labor and breastfeeding to facilitate nurturing, breastfeeding, and love.

    DMT, known as the "God-seeing hormone", is released at birth creating expansive spiritual consciousness in both the baby and the mother. Dr. Rick Strassman in DMT: The Spirit Molecule, hypothesizes that DMT, Dimethyltryptamine, is released in the pineal gland of the baby beginning at 49 days gestation and in large amounts at the time of birth. DMT is released only during peak life-experiences of birth (in the baby and mother), death, near-death experiences, and powerful orgasms. The over-medication of human beings at the time of birth, and the time of death, can cause challenges for the physical and spiritual journey of the soul coming in and out of the human body.

    Chris's third dose was relatively uneventful. He stayed aware of his
    body, his heart beating in his chest, his stomach growling from hunger.
    His fourth dose built upon the themes of the previous three and concluded
    with many features of a mystical experience:
    They were trying to show me as much as possible. They were communicating
    in words. They were like clowns or jokers or jesters or imps. There
    were just so many of them doing their funny little thing. I settled into it. I
    was incredibly still and I felt like I was in an incredibly peaceful place.
    Then there was a message telling me that I had been given a gift, that this
    space was mine and I could go there anytime. I should feel blessed to have
    form, to live. It went on forever. There were blue hands, fluttering things,
    then thousands of things flew out of these blue hands. I thought "What a
    show!" It was really healing.

    how strong an impression this discovery made on me, and how it strengthened my search for a spiritual role for the pineal gland and, within it, the spirit molecule.


    I already knew that the Tibetan Buddhist Book of the Dead teaches
    that it takes forty-nine days for the soul of the recently dead to "reincarnate."

It takes forty-nine days from conception for the first signs of the human pineal to appear. Forty-nine days is also when the fetus differentiates into male or female gender. Thus the soul's rebirth, the pineal, and the sexual organs all require forty-nine days before they manifest.

    I unearthed this synchronicity when I was in my early twenties. I didn't know exactly how to make sense of it at the time. I still do not. In fact, conjectures relating far-flung phenomena based upon similarities in time may be as much wishful thinking as the old herbal "doctrine of signatures," which suggested that an herb's properties depended upon how it looked.

    History of coffee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The history of coffee goes at least as far back as the thirteenth century with a number of myths surrounding its first use. The original native population of coffee could have come from Ethiopia, Sudan or Kenya ( also known as West Africa .... Trickster at the Crossroads, by Erik Davis ), and it was cultivated by Arabs from the 14th century.[1] The earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the fifteenth century, in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen.[2] By the 16th century, it had reached the rest of the Middle East, Persia, Turkey and northern Africa. Coffee then spread to Balkans, Italy and to the rest of Europe, to Indonesia and then to the Americas.[3

    The importance of keeping a beat: Researchers link ability to keep a beat to reading, language skills

    Neuroscience
    September 17, 2013

    The findings of a Northwestern University study of more than 100 high school students lend proof to the surprising link between music, rhythmic abilities and language skills.


    Previous investigations found a link between reading ability and beat-keeping, says Kraus in a study published in the Sept. 18 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience. Previous research has established a link between reading ability and neural response consistency. "By directly linking auditory responses with beat-keeping ability, we have closed the triangle," Kraus says.

    The study demonstrates that accurate beat-keeping involves synchronization between the parts of the brain responsible for hearing as well as movement. Where previous research investigations focused on the motor half of the equation, Kraus and co-author Adam Tierney focused on the auditory component.

    Because hearing sounds of speech and associating them with the letters comprising written words is crucial to learning to read, the Northwestern researchers reasoned that the association between reading and beat synchronization likely has a common basis in the auditory system.

    To investigate the relationship between beat-keeping and auditory processing, 124 Chicago high school students visited Kraus's lab and were given two tests. In the first, they were asked to listen to a metronome and tap their finger along to it on a special tapping pad. Tapping accuracy was computed based on how closely their taps aligned in time to the tick-tock of the metronome.

    The Fon have a wonderful way of imagining Legba's mastery of crossings. Mawu tells the gods that whoever can come before her and simultaneously play a gong, a bell, a drum, and a flute while dancing to their music would be chief of the gods. All the macho gods attempt and fail, but Legba succeeds, not just demonstrating his agility, but his ability to maintain a balance of crossed or contrary forms and forces (and incidentally providing a window into the unique genius of African music and rhythm). Legba dances not only to the beat of a different drummer, but to the beats of many different drummers at the same time.

    Agrippa considered six as a perfect number (191). Since the number 66 is a doubling of the number 6, it can be viewed as a doubling of perfection or a symbolic representation of achieving perfect balance. Further, when the two sixes are added together, the result is 12, and when 1 and 2 are combined, the result is 3. Thus, the entire charm can be reduced to a complete symbol of the divine trinity.

    The application of the principles of one science into another is often neglected. Today we have a massive and growing volume of experimentally proven information that certainly does not always
    find its every application.
    In the real world, we can work from scientific theory, through experimentation, into an engineered result, but just as often we work via reverse engineering, from the
    result back into the origin.
    If we take a good look -- and listen -- at the whole of manifestation, and apply the principles of acoustics and music, and of the color wheel, the grand pattern that emerges is self-evident.More
    than this, a possible explanation of a medium of transmission of a universal electrogravitational influence, as a plenum far more fundamental than an ether, becomes apparent. With this realization a
    whole new understanding of physics also emerges, with awesome possibilities.

    As to what we call music in everyday language, to me architecture is music, gardening is music, farming is music, painting is music, poetry is music. In all the occupations of life where beauty has been the inspiration, where the divine wine has been poured out, there is music. But among all the different arts, the art of music has been specially considered divine, because it is the exact miniature of the law working through the whole universe. For instance, if we study ourselves we shall find that the beats of the pulse and the heart, the inhaling and exhaling of the breath are all the work of rhythm. Life depends upon the rhythmic working of the whole mechanism of the body. Breath manifests as voice , as word, as sound; and the sound is continually audible, the sound without and the sound within ourselves. That is music; it show that there is music both outside and within ourselves.

    "Before I put a sketch on paper, the whole idea is worked out mentally. In my mind I change the construction, make improvements, and even operate the device. Without ever having drawn a sketch I can give the measurements of all parts to workmen, and when completed all these parts will fit, just as certainly as though I had made the actual drawings. It is immaterial to me whether I run my machine in my mind or test it in my shop. The inventions I have conceived in this way have always worked. In thirty years there has not been a single exception. My first electric motor, the vacuum wireless light, my turbine engine and many other devices have all been developed in exactly this way."

    Eleven areas of the brain are showing differential activity levels in a Dartmouth study using functional MRI to measure how humans manipulate mental imagery
    Researchers discover how and where imagination occurs in human brains

    Philosophers and scientists have long puzzled over where human imagination comes from. In other words, what makes humans able to create art, invent tools, think scientifically and perform other incredibly diverse behaviors?
    the brain's "mental workspace"that consciously manipulates images, symbols, ideas and theories and gives humans the laser-like mental focus needed to solve complex problems and come up with new ideas.

    Their findings, titled "Network structure and dynamics of the mental workspace," appear the week of Sept. 16 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    "Our findings move us closer to understanding how the organization of our brains sets us apart from other species and provides such a rich internal playground for us to think freely and creatively," says lead author Alex Schlegel , a graduate student in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. "Understanding these differences will give us insight into where human creativity comes from and possibly allow us to recreate those same creative processes in machines."

    Scholars theorize that human imagination requires a widespread neural network in the brain, but evidence for such a "mental workspace" has been difficult to produce with techniques that mainly study brain activity in isolation. Dartmouth researchers addressed the issue by asking: How does the brain allow us to manipulate mental imagery? For instance, imagining a bumblebee with the head of a bull, a seemingly effortless task but one that requires the brain to construct a totally new image and make it appear in our mind's eye.
