Hey everybody,

I just wanted to say a quick hello and apologize for only writing half of the pervious post I intended to write on m 2nd epiphany and scientific developments. I'm still working on it so I will complete it and add lots of tags when I get to it.

In the meantime, some interesting quotations I've come across:

"things don't change, change things."

"the experience of being alive transforms."


My girlfriend and I are pursuing an open relationship, which I find to be extremely challenging at the moment (she has found someone to 'date' that we are both friends with, I have yet to find someone) and yet a natural progression from a mature loving relationship. I have a lot to say on this topic already so hopefully I'll be able to update further.

In that light, here's a snippet from Rumi's poem Desire and the Importance of Failing, from the book Feeling the Shoulder of the Lion:


The desire of each lover is
that the work of the other be perfected.
By this man-and-woman cooperation,
the world gets preserved.
Generation occurs.

Roses and blue arghawan flowers flower.
Night and day meet in a mutual hug.

So different, but they do love each other,
the day and the night, like family.

And without their mutual alternation
we would have no energy.

Every part of the cosmos draws toward its mate.
The ground keeps talking to the body,
saying, "Come back! It's better for you
down here where you came from."

The streamwater calls to the moisture in the body.
The fiery aether whispers to the body's heat,
"I am your origin. Come with me."

Seventy-two diseases are caused
by the various elements pulling inside the body.
Disease comes, and the organs
fall out of harmony.

We're like the four different birds,
that each had one leg tied in
with the other birds.

A flopping bouquet of birds!
Death releases the binding, and they fly off,
but before that, their pulling is our pain.

Consider how the soul must be,
in the midst of these tensions,
feelings its own exalted pull.

My longing is more profound.
These birds want the sweet green herbs
and the water running by.

I want the infinite!
I want wisdom.
These birds want orchards and meadows
and vines with fruit on them.

I want a vast expansion.
They want profit and the security
of having enough food.

Remember what the soul wants,
because in that, eternity
is wanting our souls!

Which is the meaning of the text,
They love That, and That loves them.

The gist is: whatever anyone seeks,
that is seeking the seeker.

No matter if it's animal,
or vegetable, or mineral.

Every bit of the universe
is filled with wanting,
and whatever any bit wants,
wants the wanter!

Welcome to the gift of the present :)

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share some recent developments of life unfolding with all of you interesting people :)

BACKGROUND

After my psychological epiphany over 4 years ago, the people who are most seemingly shaping my mental development include Jiddu Krishnamurti, Ken Wilber, E.F. Schumacher, Stan Grof, and Robert Anton Wilson.

They and others have led me into discovering particle/wave duality, morphic resonance, the integral movement, schumann resonances, binaural beats, biophotonics, aetherometry, general semantics, and many other intriguing topics.

Most recently (last ~2 years) I have been resonating deeply with the work of Konstantin Korotkov, Paulo Correa, and Frtiz-Albert Popp.

I'd like to now finally share my recent revelations :)


INTRODUCTION

My sense of perception has dramatically and so far permanently transformed since Sunday, September 20th. So far it seems to be a leap beyond my previous psychological epiphany.

What does that mean?

My sense of self has relinquished significant attachment to 'the past continuously (and falsely) inferring the future'. I am so far distinguishing more clearly between what has happened in life (as in the events themselves) and my interpretation of them (the evolving stories of our lives). To be specific:

I used to drink 2 - 3 cups of coffee at work for the past year (I started drinking coffee for my job)

The need for coffee was a story I made up in response to my body being tired. When I realized that my body was just tired, and that the concept of desiring or even needing coffee was merely an abstraction of being tired, I lost any thirst for coffee and now have more energy than ever at work without a drop.

:

I used to sleep on average 6.5 to 7.5 hours of sleep a night and snooze 15 - 55 minutes in the morning before work the entire past year.

Now I can sleep 4 hours a night (so far) with a greater desire to wake up and increased energy. This general revelry of being is accompanied by a decreased hunger, an increased appreciation of and discretion in diet, and most importantly a greater feeling of physical and psychological lightness.


These are merely 2 examples, but every dimension of my experience continues to reveal new insight that previously had been in-distinguishable in my mind. This epiphany is not intellectual understanding- the grasping of complexity and evolution in further subtley, but a perception of what is and the liberation from the barriers arising from the idea of what is. This disappearance of barriers actually appears as new space for being alive.

RECENT SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENTS

What I gathered from my initial education of a B.A. in Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin (04 - 08) is an appreciation that my perception of the universe and self continues to evolve within the structures of reality as defined by the current scientific consensus. This consensus has been somehow formed as each century has brought us further scientific measurements.

Currently in the realm of physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, economics, and possibly every field of science, the pervasive paradigm is such that we live in a material universe. Said differently, nature is fundamently material or physical.

HYPOTHESIS

I am proposing that a new scientific revolution is taking place that will significantly redefine the meaning and implications of every field of science. This new scientific revolution emerges from a transcendence of the failures of the current 'perspective' to account for and therefore adapt to the evolution of being.

What has been called by Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp 'biochemical theory' is the assumption that the entirety of human experience results from the 'collocation of atoms.' Therefore any energy or experience beyond this interaction is merely an excess or radiation.

Dr. Popp and others reject this assumption and propose a 'coherence theory' that states that human experience derives from a coherent field of energy that gives rise to all  phenomena. For the most profound and lucid explanation of this emerging paradigm see Marco Bischof's work. It seems he's written a book in german: Biophotons - The Light in Our Cells.

This will do for now as it's bedtime :)

I look forward to finishing this post soon.

Much love and peace to everyone.

Came across a great website which hopefully to later share and found this Rumi poem that I haven't come across before. Enjoy!

Breathing

Hello everyone, hopefully you all are well!

Haven't blogged in months, nor have I been on Gaia much this past year. Been putting most of my energy towards my job (consultant at Meltwater News and my girlfriend Jackie.

All of my old interests have remained- photography, guitar etc... but they have unfortunately taken a backseat.

However, I am reading an interesting book called Psycho-Kinesis: Moving Matter with the Mind by a NASA fellow from the 70s, Adrian V. Clark. It has got me thinking on a variety of fronts:

• Adrian reference's Stewart White's 'The Unobstructed Universe' several times  - I read it over 2 years ago and it gave me what I found to be the most intriguing introduction to what life after death may be like.

• Photons photons photons. I believe one of the next scientific revolutions will be a pushing past the dogma of bio-chemical theory into coherence (bio-photonic) theory that realizes we (i.e. cells) communicate faster than chemical and even elelctric signals. That implies that we are comprised of fields of light, and our biochemistry reflects that; we do not originate from the mere 'collocation of atoms!' Much more on this down the line...
  

• Psychic phemonena seem to be real. I have never witnessed anything 'paranormal', but I have experienced enough synchronicities to realize that we are arising from an intelligence far beyond our own that has natural laws we have yet to understand and abide by. Not aliens, not the word 'God', but from  the light and life inside us that we have yet to unfurl.

As always, not enough time in the day...so much more I'd like to say! :)

-Still haven't written the Ken WIlber/Alex Jones thoughts. Or the Ken Wilber/integral politcs/terrorism/globaldemocracy/global slavery post either. Last may be the Ken Wilber/subtle enery/astral plane/biophotons one.

-Still trying to figure out how to live (read: pay the bills) in a world that's gone mad. I need to lead the world but I have yet to lead myself...that's where Jackie has helped me tremendously :)

-Sensuality reflects biophotonic coherence/wellness and aliveness and growth/challenging the boundaries (of the body/mind)/status quo. That's why sexuality is so regulated and perverted in our society. But such a fine line between throwing ourselves in the light and compromising our spirit...we have to find a way to grow in love!

Got to go! Take care everyone. Much love and peace

Hi Everyone!

Hopefully life is treating everyone well. As always, there's not enough time in the day...been working hard and focusing most of my energy on Meltwater News.

Going to Austin Social Innoator Network's first meeting tomorrow!

Camping at Enchanted Rock this saturday! It's supposed to be 80+ and not a cloud in the sky :)

Just watched Alex Jones' newest movie called 'the Obama Deception' this evening...still mulling things over in my head.

I hope to write a challenging post combining Wilber and Alex Jones...we'll see how that comes out.

In the mean time, peace and love!

Hello again!

Here's a poem I've been going over recently:

Interesting and rousing speech from Rep. Marcy Kapture.

Now on to Amy Goodman.


"Civil unrest and crowd control...nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous crowds."


This potential move by the U.S. government would indicate a step towards martial law, and unfortunately this does not surprise me. I'm holding my breath and am not going to make any political statements on this issue until it actually happens.

In light of how corporatized and mediasized the current presidential race is, I am fearful that martial law creeping in will go relatively unnoticed and unchecked.

Good night and good luck.

Ah, the working life. What a strange world it is. You never know where the world will take you, but you wake up each day and off you go.

With that being said, blessings and good luck to C4Chaos, who now no longer works for Gaia. He introduced me to this website back when it was Zaadz.

Today was my 11th day of work. It's fun, challenging, and still new. Without boring you with details, Meltwater News is a forward thinking company as it offers tools that track 'business critical information' (think google search engine for media analysis) for essentially anyone who finds the service valuable. Our clients range from the biggest companies in the world to the smallest, from non-profits to actual people. After graduating and deciding not to pursue a Doctorate in Psychology, I hoped to find a company that aligned with my values. Not easy. However, I get to decide which companies I go after (aka cold call!). It seems like a harsh business but I have genuine interest in helping alternative energy/health companies, nanotech, etc..So I hope to do well learning how to help businesses I believe in. If you have any companies that you think could use our services, please let me know, I would love to see if I can help!

I now live in southwest Austin and so I'm 15 - 35 minutes away (depending on traffic) from work and my girlfriend. Bummer. However, my girlfriend's place (co-op I used to live at) is less than 10 minutes away from work, so I often find myself sleeping there. I am certainly now in another  transition phase, as I am in the process of selling my mom's expedition and purchasing a civic of my own. I am also in the process of finding an apartment closer to my office downtown.

My life is strange...I am juggling the new 'young professional mentality' while still living out the 'college co-op crazy' dream...doing fine so far but probably not getting enough sleep!

I haven't been pursuing any integral practice as of late, only decently healthy eating and weightlifting 3x a week. I find myself very satisfied physically and emotionally with my girlfriend, but I have not been focusing on intellectually or spiritually growing as of late.


Some fun stuff though:

- Rockclimbing at the Greenbelt
- Free nutrition presentation and one on one follow up with Whole Food's In-house nutrionist Carly.
- Jamming around the co-op, sometimes with the drums.


I also received a gift certificate from amazon, so I bought 3 books:

Walden by Thoreau

Think on These Things by Jiddu Krishnamurti

Awareness Through Movement: Easy to Do Health Exercises to Improve Posture, Vision, Imagination, and Personal Awareness by Feldenkrais

I haven't received them yet, and I'm still not finished with Spiral Dynamics by Beck and Cohen. Almost though...

Anyways, I am finished with my fairly convoluted personal update. Say hello if you like.

Much love and peace...
