A Parable of Earth and Spirit

abracad, · Categories: science and spirituality, wise words

An English man and his wife moved to France, but decided to keep their English lifestyle and communicate with each other in the English language. In the morning they eat eggs and bacon. In the afternoon they drink tea with cucumber sandwiches and cakes. For dinner they have roast beef or fish and chips. And before going to bed in the evening they stand to attention and sing "God Save the Queen!" (more…)

"Living On Light": an Experiment

abracad, · Categories: externally authored, press releases, science and spirituality

by Naveena Shine

Part of the vision for the New Age is to ground into this earth, capacities that utilize the vast new energies that are emerging through the cosmic universe into the consciousness of all beings. The following experiment, if successful, can be a huge part of that and give us the ability to attune our physical realities to be nourished by the pure source of light.

I am Naveena Shine, both the founder of Living on Light and the subject in this experiment. The experiment is designed to bring into our Universe a whole different paradigm of living. In this paradigm of living, human beings do not have to eat or ingest any kind of food into their stomachs in order to thrive in this world. At “Living On Light” we propose that we have a nutritional source already embedded within our body/mind/Spiritual systems that can give us exactly what we need to be healthy and well. Since we do not yet know exactly what that source is we are symbolically calling it Light.

If this capacity is real, it will change everything we know about ourselves, everything we do in our lives and everything we do on our planet. (more…)

Scientists find Hints for the Immortality of the Soul

abracad, · Categories: books, externally authored, science and spirituality, survival

Some international physicists are convinced, that our spirit has a quantum state and that the dualism between the body and the soul is just as real to as the “wave-particle dualism” of the smallest particles.

Dr. James G. of San Francisco, a former coworker of the German Max-Planck Society in Frankfurt, reported the following incredible story. “I studied not only in the USA, but I also studied chemistry in London for a few semesters. When I came to England, the student housing was full, so I added my name to a waiting list. A short time later, I received the joyous news that a room had become available. Shortly after I had moved in, I awoke one night and in the twilight was able to see a young man with curly, black hair. I was terrified and told the alleged neighbor that he had the wrong room. He simply cried and looked at me with great sadness in his eyes.

When I turned on the light, the apparition had disappeared. Since I was one hundred percent sure it had not been a dream, I told the housemaster about the strange encounter the next morning. I gave her a detailed description of the young man. She suddenly paled. She looked through the archives and showed me a photo. I immediately recognized the young man who had visited me in my room the evening before. When I asked her who he was, she replied with a quivering voice that it was the previous renter. She then added that my room had become available because he had taken his life shortly before.” The author would never have recorded the story had “James” not been an absolutely trustworthy person.

Interview with Leslie Kean

by Jason Francis

Author, journalist and co-founder of a group calling for increased government openness to and media coverage of UFO information, Leslie Kean discusses her most interesting cases and what needs to happen if we are to find the truth about the UFO phenomenon.  January/February 2013

Leslie Kean is an independent investigative journalist who has covered the subject of UFOs since the year 2000. In 2002, she co-founded the Coalition for Freedom of Information, a group promoting more government openness on information pertaining to UFOs, and for responsible UFO coverage by the media. In 2007, Kean co-organized a landmark international press conference in Washington DC on official UFO investigations, which received media coverage around the world. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller, UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On The Record (Harmony Books, 2010), which formed the basis of a television documentary on the History Channel, 'Secret Access: UFOs on the Record'.

"The mind of God"

by Olivier Danès

A discussion of new scientific approaches to the Cause of all; January/February 2013. Re-published courtesy Share International.

Today, many mathematicians and physicists acknowledge the idea that the Universe as we know it, with its galaxies, stars and planets, kingdoms of nature including human beings, cannot have been created by simple chance, but that there must be, behind it, what they call "information" – information which for example "tells" the atoms of matter to stick together to form a table, a plant, or the magazine you are reading.

Another piece of the puzzle

abracad, · Categories: externally authored, science and spirituality

Interview with researcher and inventor, Harry Oldfield

by Felicity Eliot

New technology has expanded the Kirlian photographic technology, enabling scientists and physicians to see three dimensional images of the energy fields surrounding all life forms, and to investigate the precursory conditions of disease and well being. January/February 2013

Science knows there is something just beyond its present grasp - frustratingly near - but a more complete picture is yet to emerge.

The missing piece of the puzzle in this case has been variously described as dark matter, dark energy, an aspect of Einstein's theory of gravity - a "cosmological constant", perhaps the cause of the expansion of the universe, possibly "some strange kind of energy-fluid which filled space". NASA admits that even now "more is unknown than known".

Science decrees that seeing is believing; whereas perhaps more secrets would be unlocked if that were to be inverted to a rather more esoteric approach - "believing is seeing" - indicating that an open-minded approach to any unknown may allow the researcher to see what she might otherwise dismiss as being impossible. And in a sense that is what has been foisted upon astrophysicists and other scientists who have become aware of the existence of that elusive something.

Harry Oldfield does not purport to know the secrets of the universe but his research has led him to conclusions that physicists might find very interesting.

Felicity Eliot first interviewed Harry Oldfield for Share International in March 1982 and now revisits his work. (more…)

How to Assess Psychics and Mediums

abracad, · Categories: science and spirituality

A Simple Method for Evaluating a Psychic Reading

These days many people consult psychics and mediums, perhaps looking for guidance on some aspect of their lives, or simply seeking evidence that the human experience is more than just a random accident of a meaningless universe. Whether we have a private sitting or join an open meeting, say at a Spiritualist church, We often come away from a reading with mixed feelings. This article presents a simple, but hopefully objective, method for assessing the quality of information given.

Briefly, the difference between a medium and a psychic is that mediums channel information from the spirits of the deceased whereas psychic pick up information by general non-physical means. Often mediums and psychics are the same (ie "sensitives") and a reading may contain information both from deceased spirits and of general psychic origin. It’s possible that even the medium (psychic) cannot identify the source of the reading, but so long as it's accurate and helpful that shouldn't matter too much.

In making an assessment it's essential that a sitting be approached without bias, ie with a completely open mind as to the authenticity of what takes place. Prior personal belief or skepticism should (as far as humanly possible) be put to one side and each meeting treated as an independent experiment.

The Shining Sphere at the End of the Tunnel – Eye Floaters and Near-Death Experiences

abracad, · Categories: entoptic phenomena, externally authored, science and spirituality, survival

By Floco Tausin

Persons who were revived after being clinically dead often report unusual and profound perceptions they had in the state of near-death. These experiences defy scientific and religious thinking alike. Some visual elements of near-death experiences (NDE) resemble one particular type of eye floaters, the ‘shining structure floaters’. The thesis of this article is that floaters and other entoptic phenomena are phenomena of consciousness which continue to exist in states of near-death – and possibly even beyond death. (more…)

Making Sense of PSI

abracad, · Categories: press releases, science and spirituality

The Society for Psychical Research held a Study Day in London on Saturday 28th April, 2012.

Psychical research will not attain scientific respectability until it has some agreed theoretical basis. But the subject impinges on many disciplines, so various levels of explanation have been proposed – physical, biological, psychological, philosophical and mystical. A full theory of psi must surely involve all of these. In this Study Day leading representatives of each of these fields, all sharing an interest in an interdisciplinary approach to the subject, addressed these issues and discussed whether such an all-embracing theory of psi is conceivable....

Sessions included Theories of psi from physics and beyond, A philosophical framework for theories of psi, Perspectives from mysticism, Observership, biology, meaning and psi, Many worlds and the ontology of psi. Among the speakers was Nobel Laureate Prof. Brian Josephson. The ended with a general discussion, including audience participation.

A short report on the day appears on Roy Stemman's Paranormal Review
