“The connection of the mind to the body is an arena of constantly growing scientific investigation. To an unprecedented degree, mainstream medicine today acknowledges that the mind has a profound effect on one’s physical well-being. The mind affects matter, whether it’s the so-called placebo effect or the increasingly evident physical impact of emotional stress.

“A remarkable scientist who has explored the mind/body connection is Dawson Church, the author of the recent book Mind to Matter, which suggests vast, untapped abilities of the mind to affect healing. In part one of this two-part presentation, we asked Dawson to begin with an introduction to his earlier book, The Genie in Your Genes.”

Astronomers have taken the first ever image of a black hole, which is located in a distant galaxy.

It measures 40 billion km across – three million times the size of the Earth – and has been described by scientists as “a monster”.

The black hole is 500 million trillion km away and was photographed by a network of eight telescopes across the world.

Details have been published today in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

It was captured by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), a network of eight linked telescopes.

Prof Heino Falcke, of Radboud University in the Netherlands, who proposed the experiment, told BBC News that the black hole was found in a galaxy called M87.

“What we see is larger than the size of our entire Solar System,” he said.

“It has a mass 6.5 billion times that of the Sun. And it is one of the heaviest black holes that we think exists. It is an absolute monster, the heavyweight champion of black holes in the Universe.”

• Climate change and global warming are among the greatest challenges mankind has faced up until now.
• Researchers at Harvard have put forward a new solution — they want to reflect some of the sun’s heat back out to space.
• The process is referred to as “solar geoengineering” or “solar geotechnics”.

The Sun is not a ball of (con)fusion.

“’In a low density plasma, localized space charge regions may build up large potential drops over distances of the order of some tens of the Debye lengths. Such regions have been called electric double layers. An electric double layer is the simplest space charge distribution that gives a potential drop in the layer and a vanishing electric field on each side of the layer. In the laboratory, double layers have been studied for half a century, but their importance in cosmic plasmas has not been generally recognized.’” (Hannes Alfvén).

“Electric Sun theory proposes that the Sun is a positively charged electrode in a vast galactic circuit. The Sun’s negative pole is the heliosphere, billions of kilometers away, which acts like a “virtual cathode”. Double layers, so often mentioned in these pages, isolate the Sun from the Interstellar Medium (ISM).”

“Why is any one on Earth? To study and learn. To study and learn how to transform his human consciousness into Divine consciousness.

“Manifesting patience is manifesting Wisdom. God favors those with patience. …

The manifestation of God connects you with Love. Your connection with love is the most important connection you have.

“Money in Heaven is the goodness you have done on Earth. The ability to learn, to think, to perform good actions, to love, are great instruments that you must use to get back to Paradise.

“What you learn, think, and love matters a lot. There is higher knowledge and there is lower knowledge. … You determine where you want to be.” ~Biensa Douno

Man Transformed

Not every spiritual school agree that we were sent to Earth to learn. But most do agree that we need to transform. That doesn’t mean turn into a car. It means that we need to transform into spiritual beings again. We need to transform our lead consciousness to golden, advanced consciousness. We need to awaken our souls and use them.

“Various sounds such as those emitted by pulsars, the Sun, Jupiter and its moon Ganymede, black holes, the Aurora Borealis and interstellar space have been recorded by Roscosmos with the help of special radio telescopes.

“Russian experts said that these sounds can’t be heard in the conditions of the space vacuum. For example, solar flares, the collision of asteroids and explosions of stars occur in complete silence.

“However, using a radio telescope, they were able to decipher the sound waves and transform them into sounds.”

Nonconscious Learning From Crowded Sequences

“Can people learn complex information without conscious awareness? In the present study, we explored whether participants could learn a sequence of stimuli that they could not consciously perceive. Implicit learning—learning without awareness of what has been learned—has been the focus of intense investigation over the last 50 years. However, it remains controversial whether complex knowledge can be learned implicitly. In the research reported here, we addressed this challenge by asking participants to differentiate between sequences of symbols they could not perceive consciously. Using an operant-conditioning task, we showed that participants learned to associate distinct sequences of crowded (nondiscriminable) symbols with their respective monetary outcomes (reward or punishment). Overall, our study demonstrates that sensitivity to sequential regularities can arise through the nonconscious temporal integration of perceptual information.”

“Do convection currents and vibrating magnetic field lines create the dynamic phenomena observed on the Sun?

“According to the thermonuclear fusion model of the Sun, hydrogen in its core is crushed with so much force that it is converting to helium, releasing tremendous amounts of energy. The core’s temperature is thought to be 15 million Celsius, with compressive strain greater than 340 billion times Earth’s atmospheric pressure. A common metaphor used to illustrate the process is to imagine millions of hydrogen bombs exploding all at once within a confined space: 700 million tons of hydrogen are said to be converted into helium every second.

“The Sun’s surface is known as the photosphere. Above that surface layer is the chromosphere, and above that is the corona, the outermost part of the Sun’s visible atmosphere. The photosphere averages 6000 Celsius, while the corona can be as much as two million Celsius! This is the great mystery that has encumbered researchers. How is it that the hottest region of the Sun begins at an altitude of 4000 kilometers and extends over a million kilometers from its surface without any significant temperature drop?”
