A careful examination of these works makes it clear that the artists who created them had an important message they wanted to communicate in a way that would not be readily available at first glance. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/art/truth-about-sacred-knowledge-art Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/art/truth-about-sacred-knowledge-art Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:19:00 EDT Beyond intuition and remote viewing lies an additional level of perceiving future information: The ability to see the future clearly and with eyes open. Developing the neurological connections between the parts of the brain that perceive (generally located in the limbic areas of the brain), and the parts of the brain that see (the occipital lobe) requires persistence, patience, and repetition of a simple technique that can instantly reveal the accuracy of the seen information. Students at Ramthas School of Enlightenment [RSE] develop this ability by using a deck of playing cards. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/knowledge/you-can-see-future Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/knowledge/you-can-see-future Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:19:00 EDT A prototype solar device has recently been unveiled in Science, which uses aspects of plant life to generate the suns energy into power.

Ted Kaptchuk of Harvard Medical School in Boston however, has recently published a paper that might prove otherwise. Kaptchuk and a team of researchers recruited 80 people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who experience symptoms such as chronic abdominal pain, discomfort, and irregular bowel movements. Each patient was told they would receive a placebo or no pills at all, and were also told what were in the placebos (no active ingredients). http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/prescribing-placebos Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/prescribing-placebos Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:32:00 EDT Much has been said about the current global economic crisis, and undoubtedly much more will be said as world market instability persists for a time. Amid the din of dire predictions and questions about how we got here, there are a few rare voices hailing this moment as an opportunity to examine closely our complicity with the systems that are currently faltering: Have we been personally driven by greed, or did we simply turn a blind eye to its pervasive activity Certainly, the economy does not exist as separate from us because we collectively create the economy and it inevitably reflects our collective consciousness. http://www.superconsciousness.com/new-understanding-wealth Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/new-understanding-wealth Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:32:00 EDT Remote Viewing is the ability to perceive information nonlocally, or, from great distances, outside of what are considered normally accessible by the five senses. The term was originally conceived by science researchers who were contracted by intelligence agencies to determine whether or not accurate psychic information access was viable for potential military applications. Those researchers, working along side skilled psychics Ingo Swann and Pat Price, determined that psychic, non-local information access was indeed verifiable. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/science/remote-viewing-real Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/science/remote-viewing-real Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:31:00 EDT Although scientists dont completely understand why our cells eventually stop dividing, many of them believe that the shrinking of protective DNA caps on the end of chromosomes called telomeres may be responsible. This is based on the fact that every time a cell divides, a bit of telomere is lost until it is no longer active in adult tissue. Ronald DePinho, a molecular biologist and director of the Belfer Institute of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute along with colleagues, successfully turned a number of mice into younger versions of themselves by stimulating the regeneration of certain tissues. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/incredidble-case-benmice Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/incredidble-case-benmice Tue, 25 Jan 2011 17:41:00 EDT Embryonic stem cell research has long proven difficult and controversial, which is why scientists are so enthusiastic about recent success with another type of cell research: specialized direct conversion. Direct conversion skips the embryonic stem cell, and instead convinces one specialized cell to become another type of specialized cell by inserting chemical signals to activate particular genes. Since all cells in a persons body carry the same DNA code, a cells identity actually depends on its lineup of active genes. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/flexible-human-cells Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/flexible-human-cells Thu, 10 Feb 2011 12:17:00 EDT Rebecca Keegan spent seven years covering breaking news stories like 9/11, Osama bin Laden, and sex-abuse within the Catholic Church for TIME Magazine before she built professional credibility with intimate profiles of entertainment A-listers Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Downey, Will Smith, and Penlope Cruz, and covered premiere events like the Oscars, Sundance, and Comic-Con.

So it came as no surprise when an email appeared in my Inbox from the X-Prize Foundation announcing that a seat on a ZeroG flight, co-hosted by James Cameron, would be auctioned off on eBay two weeks later.

For scientists, altruism has long presented a conundrum: Why do people help others, even putting their own lives at risk, for no obvious reward Historically, attempts to explain such seemingly irrational behavior have fallen into three main theories: kin selection, group selection and reciprocity. According to these hypotheses, humans are fundamentally self-interested, and therefore we give only in order to get something, even if its a delayed reward, or to ensure benefits for our own genetics or those of our social group. More recent experiments, however, suggests that these ideas only partially explain the human impulse toward helping. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/society/spontaneous-altruism-toddlers Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/society/spontaneous-altruism-toddlers Tue, 25 Jan 2011 17:38:00 EDT A Massachusetts Institute of Technology team has created a camera that can record images around corners. By collecting light from ultra-short high-intensity laser bursts, the device is able to illuminate a scene and construct a basic image of its surroundings, including those around a corner. Professor Ramesh Raskar, head of the Camera Culture group at the MIT Media Lab, and part of the new camera research team explains, Its like having x-ray vision without the x-rayswere going around the problem rather than going through it.

Over 2,000 editions of Les Propheties, his book of prophecies, have been published since his original work was written in 1555. Major media outlets like the Discovery Channel and the History Channel have created feature-length programs on the life and prophecies of Michel de Nostredame. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/society/are-nostradamus-predictions-real Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/society/are-nostradamus-predictions-real Wed, 12 Jan 2011 14:01:00 EDT I usually have a list when I grocery shop. Most people do. Its a logical way to keep the pantry stocked. But after I have everything in the cart that is on the list, I actually park the cart (which can become a problem if I forget where I parked it.) and walk the perimeter of the store. There are fewer boxes and better looking food on the outer edges and I can allow my eyes, ears, nose and hands to do the shopping. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/health/now-cooking Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/health/now-cooking Wed, 12 Jan 2011 14:00:00 EDT In 2009, Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert and Matthew Killingsworth, a psychology doctoral student at Harvard launched trackyourhappiness.org, a website designed to gauge the mental state and activities of volunteers several times a day. The researchers used iPhones to text volunteers and encourage them to visit an online survey in order to report what they were doing, and describe how happy they were feeling. Subjects were also asked to record whether they were thinking of their activity, or something else. After analyzing the experience of 2250 adults, Gilbert and Killingsworth found that 47% of the time, people werent thinking about what they were doing, and that volunteers were less happy when their thoughts were elsewhere. The statistics indicated that mind wandering earlier in the day correlated to a poorer mood later, signifying that daydreaming caused discontent. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/daydreaming-brings-blues Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/daydreaming-brings-blues Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:59:00 EDT Energy, the ability to do work, is the most important dynamic, organic, and vital part of the human drama. For the past 10,000 years, we have simply grabbed some wood, oil or coal to make a fire. Yes, our ancestors did it even back in the Stone Age. It has been an easy way to cook food, heat our caves, and explode gasses in metal cylinders with pistons. Many believe that we should just continue this human family tradition, even if our collective population has ballooned to billions across the planet and the carbon from our campfires keeps collecting in the atmosphere. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/technology/energy-future Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/technology/energy-future Wed, 12 Jan 2011 13:58:00 EDT Making the best of limited space is a necessity for many people living in dense urban areas like Manhattan or Hong Kong where studio apartment sizes can be as small as 200 square feet or less. The same can be said for persons concerned with energy conservation, especially once the concept of a large house in the suburbs loses its appeal and the desire to decrease the carbon footprint becomes a lifestyle priority. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/environment/space-saving-furniture-design Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/environment/space-saving-furniture-design Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:37:00 EDT Ron Barth, President of Resource Furniture demonstrates and explains their amazing line of Italian-designed space-savers. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/multimedia/resource-furniture-space-saving-furniture Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/multimedia/resource-furniture-space-saving-furniture Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:35:00 EDT In 1990, 7 percent of Americans claimed they were not a part of any organized religion. That number has now jumped to 17 percent, thanks to an increase of political associations within the religious sector. In a Faith Matters national survey of 3,000 Americans, authors Robert D. Putnam and David E. Campbell found that many U.S. citizens are choosing where to spend Sunday morning based on their political views. It is the prominent association between religion and conservative politics that has provoked the recoil of moderates and progressives from religious affiliations, and has proven especially influential on Americas youth. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/leaving-church-behind Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/leaving-church-behind Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:35:00 EDT The word psychic tends to be a scary, emotionally loaded word, and no one wants to be associated with it, even those who make a living by exploring the depths of their mind to access information beyond the five senses. Instead of psychic, many choose words with similar meaning, but without the emotional baggage: Intuition, perception, clairvoyant, or even prescient. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/society/what-being-psychic-means Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/society/what-being-psychic-means Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:34:00 EDT Therapeutic use of electromagnetism has ancient roots, and was first introduced into the US by Hahnemann just prior to 1800. At first, only direct current (DC) devices were utilized in the medical doctors office for relieving pain, and for calming hysteria. In 1865, however, Maxwells equations established electromagnetism as the second universal force, which became a central player in quantum chemistry. More recently it has been described by Stephan Hawking as controlling all chemical reactions, including life itself. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/health/energy-medicine-solutions Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/health/energy-medicine-solutions Wed, 05 Jan 2011 12:33:00 EDT Lonnie Johnson, inventor of the well-known Super Soaker water gun has created a new gadget he calls the JTEC or, Johnson Thermoelectric Energy Converter. The JTEC is an energy converter designed to promote and push forward advances in renewable energy. While current solar converters only transform about 20% of their energy into electricity, the JTEC reportedly doubles that efficiency. By using heat to expand hydrogen atoms, which then split apart and travel through an external circuit as electric current, the JTEC can produce an indefinite supply of heat. Other benefits to the new product are that it produces no waste, and has no moving parts, which makes it easy to manufacture. In 2006, the National Science Foundation gave Johnson and his team $75,000 in support of the project with hopes that within a few years the JTEC will become a reality. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/super-soaker-goes-solar Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/news/super-soaker-goes-solar Tue, 28 Dec 2010 12:14:00 EDT Many birds and animals will torture one of their own to death if it happens to be different or deformed. And one of the most striking features of our not too distinguished history as a people is the constant victimization of one category of the human race by some other. The standard reasons all reduce to an inability to tolerate differences, and the familiar bases for discrimination have remained relatively constant down the years: color, race, creed and class. But the most ancient, persistent, and widespread and apparently the most difficult of all to dislodge, has been discrimination on grounds of gender. Sadly the worlds great religions are the ones who have played the central role in fostering this particular enslavement, which has left half of the human race disenfranchised for most of its history, and many of the major historical religious documents have to be classified as texts of gender oppression. http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/society/not-made-gods-image Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/society/not-made-gods-image Tue, 28 Dec 2010 12:14:00 EDT The allure of future knowing is ancient and powerful. As author and remote-viewing researcher Stephan A. Schwartz says, There is no siren whose call is quite so exquisite as the music of the future. For as long as writing has existed there are records showing we have sought to know its form. Last year alone, literally billions were spent by widows, lovers, spies, and presidents all seeking, like an arrow through time, some way to answer: In the future, what will http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/knowledge/seeing-future Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/knowledge/seeing-future Tue, 28 Dec 2010 12:13:00 EDT Do you know the difference between intelligent design [ID] and creationism What about evolution verses intelligent design: Why does there exist so much controversy over the teaching of both in public schools Is the theory of evolution, so sound as to be absolutely unquestionable How about those who rigorously argue that ID should also be taught along side evolution in public and private schools: Do those people belong to the world is flat club http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/reviews/review-expelled-no-intelligence-allowed Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/topics/reviews/review-expelled-no-intelligence-allowed Tue, 28 Dec 2010 12:10:00 EDT The SuperConsciousness Winter 2010 2011 issue, Visions of the Future, is focused on our innate ability to peer into the mysterious future and bring back to the present what we see. Social conditioning would have us believe that to extend our perceptions into the future is evil or even dangerous, but are those subtle allusions of risk based on fact http://www.superconsciousness.com/magazine/2010/winter-2010-2011 Spiritual Awareness News http://www.superconsciousness.com/magazine/2010/winter-2010-2011 Tue, 21 Dec 2010 17:10:00 EDT
