“Samadhi, in the Yoga tradition, is the supreme state of enlightenment, or God realization. Living in samadhi is a choice, but it is a mutually reciprocated choice. When we choose the Divine above all else, the Divine returns the gesture. All the great mystics have demonstrated this level of connectedness, …
I was given a powerful experience of the Divine, almost a revelation. And yet, in the end, I chose not to live full time in Samadhi. There were many reasons for this choice, and the circumstances surrounding it were complex, but ultimately I made the choice because, as I can see in retrospect, I lacked the maturity to handle it. I desired the experience and was granted it, but, in Hindu terms, karmic impressions of previously crystallized ego structures remained to be worked through.” ~Russill Paul

“The supreme state of enlightenment or God realization in the Yoga tradition? But isn’t Yoga an exercise system? No, it isn’t. That is just a small part of what real yoga is and by itself is about as useful and meaningful as a car with one wheel.”

“The ideas of some of our schoolmen about matter are, from the kabalistic standing-point, in many ways erroneous. Hartmann calls their views ‘an instinctual prejudice.’ … The visible effects of matter are but the effects of force. He concludes thereby, that that which is now called matter is nothing but the aggregation of atomic forces… That they [scientists] know nothing whatever of matter, they deify it. Every new phenomena which they find themselves unable to explain, is triturated, compounded into incense, and burned on the altar of the goddess who patronizes modern scientists.” ~H. P. Blavatsky

“Some of what Blavatsky wrote here several decades ago is no longer completely true, but it still remains a valid complaint. Most scientists, with the exception of the quantum physicists, don’t understand matter anywhere near as much as they think they do.”

You may want to read this article from the newsletter of Dr. Mercola as a kind of follow-up to previous articles on Gerald Pollack:

“Water is clearly one of the most important factors for your health—especially when you consider that your body actually consists of over 99 percent water molecules! I sincerely believe water is a really underappreciated part of the equation of optimal health.

“I’ve previously interviewed Dr. Gerald Pollack, who is one of the leading premier research scientists in the world when it comes to understanding the physics of water, and what it means to your health.

“Besides being a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington, he’s also the founder and editor-in-chief of a scientific journal called Water, and has published many peer-reviewed scientific papers on this topic. He’s even received prestigious awards from the National Institutes of Health.

“His book, The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor, is a phenomenal read that is easy to understand even for the non-professional.”

  “A Christian of the future will be a mystic or he or she will not exist at all.” ~Karl Rahner, a Catholic Theologian

“This statement serves as a poignant reminder that doctrinal accuracy alone (ie., believing the ‘right things’) will never secure the survival of the Christian faith. The truth that Rahner summed up so succinctly is of course that there can be no expression of the mystery of God if there is no experience of the mysterious God. However, there is one further point that needs to be made, that is that there can be no experience of God if there is no mystical approach to the mystery of God.” ~Dion A. Forster

“In other words, reading about God does not bring about enlightenment anymore than reading financial books makes you wealthy or reading diet books makes you lose weight. Yet we have many Christians today who worship the Bible as if it were God rather than a book about God.”

Winnemucca Lake petroglyphs PHOTO: Benson LV et al

“A new study reported in the Journal of Archaeological Science shows Winnemucca petroglyphs, the oldest known petroglyphs in North America, date to at least 10,500 years ago and perhaps even as far back as 14,800 years ago.

“Study lead author Dr Larry Benson of the University of Colorado Boulder explained: ‘the petroglyphs located at the Winnemucca Lake petroglyph site 35 miles northeast of Reno consist of large, deeply carved grooves and dots forming complex designs on several large limestone boulders that have been known about for decades.’”

Waves of goodness
Know your truth
Feel grateful
In your youth

Strength not power
Brave and bold
From this day
Until you’re old

Just say yes
Witness wow
Love yourself
The time is now

Now’s the time
Vibration raising
You are special
Plus amazing

That’s not all
You’re precious too
Literally awesome
Because you’re you

Say your prayers
With intention
Take deep breaths
Release your tension

If you believe
It’s all good
It likely is
So you likely should

by Matthew Madonna

For years, I’ve been interested in the Buddhist concept of skillful perception: healing your own pain and not adding more suffering to the world. I think leaders in the Intuitive Age are going to be skillful perceivers and practical visionaries—those whose feet are firmly grounded on the earth, with heaven in every cell. You can be a leader, inventor, healer, or truth communicator. You can set an example for others by the way you live, how you share, and what you say. You can be a spokesperson for the soul. … Instead of waiting for someone else to improve a situation, if you think of something that would help, you’re the one who is supposed to do it. The collective consciousness caused you to notice the idea for a good reason. ~Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

“An excellent philosophy that is somewhat similar to what I was taught in college by my professor in Systems Analysis: all solutions create new problems so look for the solution that creates the smallest new problem.”

“The whole of the sun’s magnetic field is about to ‘flip,’ according to NASA – with warning signs being spotted by observatories around the world this year.

“This ‘flip’ happens every 11 years, and coincides with the greatest solar activity in the “cycles” of the sun, known as ‘Solar Maximum’ – with sunspots and ‘coronal mass ejections’ on the surface of the sun.”
