What Is Wrong with the World Today and What We Can Do about It

Many people are looking for the answers to what is wrong with the world today. The answer could be quite simple. It is all about the worldview. It is how we see the world around us and what we, as humanity, make our top priority. If our worldview resonates with the natural order and the laws that govern the Universe, then we are able to find harmony in life. If our worldview is distorted, the Nature will try to do its best to guide us back to the path of spiritual evolution through accidents, problems with health, personal and professional life. If we want to find the solution to the material problems, we need to look on the next level of consciousness, on the level of higher consciousness.

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” ~ Albert Einstein

Quantum Theory Explains What Consciousness Is

For a very long time mankind has questioned what consciousness is – whether our ability to think, our free will, is tied directly to our soul or if it’s a component of the complexity of our brains. I intend to shed some light on a few theories as conceived by Susan Pocket and John McFadden. While these theories have had some criticism from the scientific community, McFadden had his article presented to an editorial board after peer review before it was published on these topics, and is considered a viable scientific theory to be taken into consideration.

How to Recognize and Combat Thinking Traps That May Be Controlling Your Life

As a human being, you probably will have noticed that what people think and say often bears little relation to how they act. Is it because individuals think what they say is accurate when it isn’t?

According to the concept of The Thinking Trap, this is the case. We have a misguided view of what we do and why we do it. What we say is not a guide to our real selves and what we do is a much clearer insight into who we really are. Disassociation of what we say and do operates in almost all aspects of existence from what we perceive to how we behave.

The Introspective Illusion

The introspective illusion is the ideology that we like to know about ourselves and how we do things, but it is actually misplaced confidence. We think of ourselves as sensible and rational but we actually make up stories about ourselves and others about what we think is going on. These stories act as implicit theories that explain our own decisions. These explanations are not to do with our ability to accurately introspect, but we tell ourselves and others these stories, not knowing that they are actually not real.

Water on Other Planets May Be More Common Than Previously Believed

water on other planetsWater is thought to be one of the unique characteristics of the earth. Recently, however, this idea was proven wrong. It seems that water could be a common factor with many other planets.

Asteroids

Over 500 light-years away, a white dwarf star SDSS J1242+5226, found in the Ursa Major constellation, is leaving scientists in awe. Researchers at the University of Warwick suggest that this star has the volume of 30-35% of the earth’s water. How water arrived at this star is significant. Scientists believe a large asteroid provided the planet’s water supply. This asteroid is thought to have been about the size of Ceres in our own solar system.

Neurons Constantly Rewrite their DNA to Adapt to the Environment

Neurons Constantly Rewrite their DNA

If you thought DNA was stable inside mature cells, you were wrong. Apparently, neurons are constantly changing to adapt to their environment. Minor surgeries are conducted toggling activity levels every single day. In effect, neurons constantly rewrite their DNA as needed. This information was discovered by John Hopkins scientists and published in the journal Nature Neuroscience on the 27th day of April this year.

Hongjun Song, Ph.D. says, “DNA, in a cell, is not always stable. It is being altered all the time in order to function. Even molecular tags, which maintains the cell’s identity, are constantly being altered.”

This is the Unknown History of Swastika

Everyone knows that the swastika is a symbol of hatred and cruelty, synonymous with fascism that led to one of the most destructive wars humanity has ever witnessed. But did you know that before the Nazis used it, this symbol had a history dating back almost 12.000 years?

The swastika was an auspicious symbol with positive connotations that represented life, sun, power, strength, and good luck. The oldest swastika dating back 12.000 years was discovered in Mezine, Ukraine, carved on an ivory figurine. Pottery and coins from ancient Troy dating back to 4.000 B.C. reveal that the swastika was a commonly used symbol. It had been used by Hindus and Buddhists in India and other Asian countries, who thought of it as an important symbol of good fortune, prosperity, and eternity. Moreover, artifacts that have been discovered indicate its use by the ancient Druids, the Celts, Nordic tribes as well as Native Americans.

The 6 Most Fascinating Studies on Consciousness [Infographic]

Consciousness is an area scientists and psychologists struggle to understand and with the topic being so hard to measure, it has always been one area of science that people constantly question. There are six main studies that have begun to pave the way to understanding consciousness, but it’s clear we still have a long way to go before we can truly comprehend the idea.

1. Dr William Broad’s study on slowing down the rate that red blood cells die

Dr Broad is one of many scientists who have discovered a direct link between our energy and the physical world, his study specifically focused on proving that humans can physically affect objects through their thoughts and energy alone. The study has since become known as the BIO-PK study and proved that when placed in a lab dish, people could affect the rate at which red blood cells died. Whilst the results were small, they opened up a whole range of questions and doors to further topics in this field.

This Surrealist Painter Creates Amazing Optical Illusions

Surrealist painter Octavio Ocampo is one of the most prolific artists widely known for his metamorphic painting technique. His versatile paintings provoke the viewer’s curiosity and can be interpreted in several ways when viewed from different distance or angle.

Ocampo was born on February 28th, 1943 in Celaya, a city in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. As a member of an artistic family, he started studying art from a very early age. While attending art school, Ocampo revealed his manual dexterity by making paper mache crafts. He created figures that were used in altars and floats in carnival parades and festivals. In high school, he mostly painted murals. That was when Ruth Rivera (daughter of artist Diego Rivera) and Maria Luisa Mendoza encouraged him to attend the National Fine Art Institute...

Science Reveals How Music Can Benefit Your Brain

We all love music. Sometimes all it takes is one song to completely alter our mood and prepare us for the day ahead. But how does it actually do that? What happens when our brains hear the music? Recent scientific studies reveal how music can benefit your brain and what exactly happens in different brain areas when you listen to music.

Music is sort of an ultimate exercise for your brain since it activates every known part, especially the visual, auditory and motor cortices. Researchers have realised that when we hear and attempt to play music, our brains process sounds that they couldn’t otherwise hear. This helps us develop a neurophysiological distinction between certain sounds. Actively engaging with music vastly improves the strength of neural processing, also helping our language skills.[1]

Understanding the Energy-Based Nature of Reality and the World Around Us

If you want to find the secrets of the Universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.

– Nikola Tesla

It has always been my belief and understanding that everything in our world, the trees and streams, our pets, and ourselves, are a just one aspect of reality. Our perceptions and senses, what we see, hear, and feel, are merely a physical manifestation of what really exists, and provide just a small component of understanding in the scope of what really is. The actual substance of our existence, in my opinion, is purely energy-based. We are all comprised of energy, and every action and reaction which we see is accompanied by a transmission of kinetic or potential energy interacting between entities. Many theologists have made references to our souls being the pure energy form of ourselves, and some suggest that our spirits are formless. I have come to believe that the physical manifestation we all know is just a clay molding over the energy substructure and the reality of our being.
