Last November, a new type of gene therapy for Parkinson’s disease, championed by the Michael J. Fox Foundation, was abruptly withdrawn Continue reading Placebos Are Getting More Effective. Drugmakers Are Desperate to Know Why. Our habitual patterns of cravings and addictions leave traces in the subtle body, as well as alaya, and because of the subtle body, samskara imprints are left in the body itself. IT seemed too real to be mere coincidence – and it brought joy to Kaden Delaney’s family. Kaden’s parents Greg and Shelley spent two years finding Continue reading Organ donor cravings transmitted to recipient Just now did a search on the CNN website for any story of theirs mentioning “climategate”. Here is what I got: Your search climategate did not match any documents I find it really remarkable that a network that prides itself on comprehensive news coverage of events all over the world, wouldn’t have one story going at least Continue reading climategate – Search results for climategate – CNN.com The construction of this experiment is really flawed. A dog takes a while to really bond with a human, and they will bond to someone who takes them in, without any consideration of the deceptiveness or truthfulness of the human. In the latest experiments, scientists assigned 24 dogs of various breeds to deceptive and trustworthy individuals. Continue reading Dogs Cannot Read Owners’ Minds, Study Shows – Despite millennia of domestication – Softpedia Notice the last sentence in this excerpt. The commercial application of these studies is the primary focus of all anthropology. It looks like the negative has a much more powerful emotional kick than fluffy positive statements. Let’s say you are talking self improvement, would “I am not, nor will I ever by a penniless idiot to Continue reading Negative, Subliminal Messages Are Picked Up Best – Positive ones not that much so – Softpedia I’m not exactly sure what the phrase “evolutionary implication” is doing in the paragraph about the function of odor and consciousness and memory. The capacity to distinguish very subtle fragrances is something that definitely comes with a good cleanse coupled with a yoga and pranayama and meditation discipline that continually cleanses out the nadis allowing Continue reading Why Smells Transport You Back to Childhood – This happens to all of us – Softpedia If you think about it, the fact that there is any placebo effect at all is a miracle. Or, I should say, seems like a miracle, although it is just a function of the natural world, left un-messed-with by tinkering nihilists. Notice the phrase “could be used to create various new treatments” for some diseases. Continue reading Placebo Effect Proven in the Spine – Pain disappeared in study volunteers – Softpedia I don’t know about you, but this was a surprise to me, and it seems to me that this is not what I would call evolution, but rather adaptation. There is a difference. Nothing in this article indicates to me that there is any kind of evidence here of evolution as it is generally understood, Continue reading Humans Still Evolving as Our Brains Shrink – Yahoo! News I’ve heard some buz on this for some time. The guys who follow this kind of thing at Coast to Coast AM have been saying for years that the Vatican knows more about UFOs and aliens than they’ve let on. It just seems silly to me that anyone would believe these days Continue reading Vatican looks to heavens for signs of alien life – Yahoo! News Website traffic (weekly visits) at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) have increased 1200 percent. In the period since the book was released, membership sign-ups increased 300 percent compared to the same period last year, and sales of books by Dr. Schlitz and IONS’ director of research Dean Radin have tripled since the Brown book Continue reading Institute of Noetic Sciences gets boost from “Dan Brown Bump”
Since memories are not perfectly accurate depictions of situations and get fuzzier over time, they may be problematic in situations such as being a witness at a trial, Schwartz said. But there are also benefits to this fuzziness: It helps people come up with coherent narratives about what their lives are about, he Continue reading Do digital diaries mess up your brain? It is evil for a civilization to play these kinds of manipulative games with its children. Children deserve a childhood, don’t you think? Adults have lost all reason when they think they are helping by destroying the innocence of the imaginative world of children. This is a new form of original sin, but instead of Continue reading Panic, little ones, it’s the Carbon Monster | The Australian
“Comparative psychologists have studied the question of whether or not nonhuman animals have knowledge of their own cognitive states by testing a dolphin, pigeons, rats, monkeys and apes using perception, memory and food-concealment paradigms,” he explains. “The field offers growing evidence that some animals have functional parallels to humans’ consciousness and to humans’ cognitive self-awareness,” Continue reading Evidence of conscious metacognition in some animals – UB Reporter What is interesting to anyone familiar with what have until the last half century or so quite guarded secrets of mystery schools and other esoteric groups are being used by modern individuals, may of whom have no particularly strong interest in occult or esoteric spiritual knowledge. Used this way at least makes some of Continue reading Children can ‘imagine away’ pain By about 2020, he says, our entire life histories will be online and searchable. Location-aware smartphones and inexpensive digital memory storage in the “cloud” of the Internet make the transition possible and inevitable. No one will have to fret about storing the details of their lives in their heads anymore. We’ll have computers for that.
