Dr. Rupert Sheldrake: “Why Bad Science Is Like Bad Religion”

Rupert Sheldrake. PHOTO: sheldrake.org

“Bad religion is arrogant, self-righteous, dogmatic and intolerant. And so is bad science. But unlike religious fundamentalists, scientific fundamentalists do not realize that their opinions are based on faith. They think they know the truth. They believe that science has already solved the fundamental questions.”

“Solar (R)evolution – Does the sun have the Power to transform Humankind?”

PHOTO: solar-revolution-movie.com

The website for the film Solar (R)evolution tells us that world-renowned German biophysicist Dieter Broers makes a compelling case for a remarkable correlation between increases in solar activity and advances in humankind’s creative, mental, and spiritual abilities.

On the website Broers gives this personal note:

“We are at a pinnacle time at which all of our senses are telling us that we are approaching a turning point. Humankind is (we are) in the middle of an all-encompassing process of change. In the external world we are experiencing an increase in the density of events, not only quantitatively, but also qualitatively in their intensity. We realize that a significant number of these events correlate with our own inner mental and emotional processes.

“The increasingly ineluctable confrontations with these processes inevitably lead to a change of consciousness. It appears as if each one of us is challenged to his limits. At the point of our limits, we are faced with a decision. The decision to either continue to engage with the existing structures, or to take a new approach. On this new path, we recognize our true and divine potential. It is the path from the illusion of separation to wholeness. On our journey, our consciousness is expanding rapidly. It extends to increasingly frequent moments of insight facilitating this big decision.

“Our sun contributes significantly to this process of change. . . .”

Mitch Battros on “The Climate Conspiracy (2012)”

“Is it possible that galactic and solar events are exerting an impact on earth’s climate far more than any human activities? And is it possible that these celestial events are affecting us in many more ways than just the climate? Finally, is it possible that ancient cultures, such as the Mayans, anticipated these changes?

“In a far-ranging conversation that travels to the center of our galaxy and back, scientific journalist and psychologist Mitch Battros describes the connection between what happens on the sun and what happens on the earth. He speaks about the impact of solar radiation on the earth – not just climate, but earth’s magnetic field, and, in turn, all life on earth. And he talks about an alignment of our solar system in the galaxy, and a beam of galactic particles that may bring significant change.”

Gaiam TV presents an interview with Mitch Battros and host Lisa Garr. Runtime is 1:24:41.

“Heaven Exists”

"'You have nothing to fear. There is nothing you can do wrong.' The message flooded me with a vast and crazy sensation of relief." PHOTO: by Newsweek; Source: Buena Vista Images-Getty Images

“Heaven exists though and it’s now kind of officially recognized by the mainstream media. . . Dr. Eben Alexander has taught at Harvard Medical School and has earned a strong reputation as a neurosurgeon. After a week in a coma during the fall of 2008, during which his neocortex [the conscious part of the brain] ceased to function, Alexander claims he experienced a life-changing visit to the afterlife, specifically heaven. So what exactly does heaven look like? Alexander says he first found himself floating above clouds before witnessing ‘transparent, shimmering beings arced across the sky, leaving long, streamer-like lines behind them.’

“‘You are loved and cherished, dearly, forever. You have nothing to fear. There is nothing you can do wrong,’ are the messages that Alexander heard from beings he encountered in the heavens. ‘There is no scientific explanation for the fact that while my body lay in coma, my mind—my conscious, inner self—was alive and well. While the neurons of my cortex were stunned to complete inactivity by the bacteria that had attacked them, my brain-free consciousness journeyed to another, larger dimension of the universe: a dimension I’d never dreamed existed and which the old, pre-coma me would have been more than happy to explain was a simple impossibility.’”

He’s from Harvard so it must be true—right?

Earth Changes and Second Advent Prophecy

PHOTO: Earth Changes Media

I have been a subscriber to Mitch Battros’s Earth Changes Media (earthchangesmedia.com) for two years or more and have always been impressed by his capable research and thoroughness. Consolidation of ancient wisdom and current scientific findings are keys to his study of the effects of the sun on the earth and most interesting in light of our Community’s Prophecies.

Mitch Battros presents fascinating, and sometimes shocking, research from the world’s top scientists. After years of dialogue with these experts, Mitch has been accepted into the guarded halls of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) , NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), ESA (European Space Agency), the Royal Observatory, the US Naval Observatory, and other highly esteemed scientific bodies.

In addition to the latest research on the Sun’s influence on our “weather,” Mitch also presents groundbreaking evidence of how the Sun and other celestial orbs produce “charged particles” and their impact on humanity.

Here are some important articles to read for more details:

(Part 1) Something is Happening with the Earth’s Core

(Part 2) Magnetic Pole Reversals and Possible Crustal Displacement

(Part 3) What Are the Effects to Animals and Humans?

(Part 4) We Are Witnessing a Pole Reversal “Right Now”

Anyone can keep up with things by going about once a week to the Earth Changes Media site yourself, but a membership gets you a notification whenever Mitch has something new and also gives you access to the archives. I am presenting his links in order for you to see where he is going with current thought. Part IV in this group of articles discusses the earth trending in the direction of a magnetic pole shift involving earthquakes, volcanoes, and extreme weather—all of which have been part of our Prophecies. It seems to me that he brings our Prophecies up-to-date and fills out the picture we already have.

Can the Human Body Photosynthesize? Another Look

PHOTO: bigthink.com

“Humans have to grow, hunt, and gather food, but many living things aren’t so constrained. Plants, algae and many species of bacteria can make their own sustenance through the process of photosynthesis. They harness sunlight to drive the chemical reactions in their bodies that produce sugars. Could humans ever do something similar? Could our bodies ever be altered to feed off the Sun’s energy in the same way as a plant?”

This is a question that a body of biologists have been investigating for the past year without knowledge of how the human body is already designed to accommodate light. The report provided through the link below reveals clearly the tendency of scientific thought to exteriorize the process of utilizing solar energy, limiting the discussion of the process in a literally superficial way, by investigating the skin alone, the surface area of the body, and not the eyes and nervous system.

Plasmas Matter

“Throughout the universe more than 99{1fa2ef75e2e78439128d99df03acfe1d8ee3047374abe3d4676fe3470ff8b909} of matter looks nothing like what’s on earth. Instead of materials we can touch and see . . . most of the universe is governed by rules that react more obviously to such things as magnetic force or electric charge.” <Read the entire article “Riding the Plasma Wave” online at sciencedaily.com. >

You may also want to read this article on the electric atmosphere as a companion to the article on plasma waves: < “The electric atmosphere: Plasma is next NASA science target.” >

While some may believe this kind of discussion is a very specialized topic and not suitable for the general reader, Consociate Robert Anderson thinks it is worth looking into: “It’s entirely possible that the quintessence, aether, is actually plasma, commonly called the fourth state of matter (after solid, liquid, and gas), although as plasma is the most abundant form of matter in the universe, it should perhaps be called the first state of matter. In the case of the Van Allen Belts described in this article, one has to ask, Why has it taken so long to explore these phenomena?” He suggests that the electrical model of the universe has a more up-to-date understanding of plasma and that we check out the article < Essential Guide to the EU, Chapter 3: Plasma > online at thunderbolts.com.

Gustaf Stromberg in the Sun

Gustaf Stromberg was in the sun! This may be no great surprise to most members of our Community. But now we can actually witness Stromberg’s reverent and vital relationship with the sun. Take a look at the adjacent photo. (It is the sixth photo down on the web page created by Alan Anderson in 2000 and dedicated to Gustaf Stromberg. <Visit the web page.> )

If you read through the website carefully, you will find there are a lot of facts that point up his spiritual involvements and love of life that are not generally known. Did you know that Albert Einstein said of Stromberg’s book Soul of the Universe: “Very few men could of their own knowledge present the material as clearly and concisely as he has succeeded in doing”? Or that Stromberg followed C.G. Bennett’s concept of a five-dimensional universe, the fifth axis of which he called the “Eternity Domain”? Or that his thinking drew on the electrodynamic theory of life propounded by Burr and Northrop? Or that Stromberg was a regular contributor to Science of Mind magazine? Or that Stromberg authored several lessons for the nonprofit religious organization called the Astara Foundation?
