Humankind at a Crossroads: A Call to Action!!! PART 2Lauren Tratar
Einstein stated: “Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them.” Thus, the multi-pronged attack being waged against Humanity: GMO's, fracking, chemtrails, foreclosures, loss of pensions, HAARP, unemployment, quantitative easing, the manipulation of gold and silver prices, Libor etc. has a higher purpose. These events are tests, catalysts designed to push us out of our comfort zones and take a stand for what we believe in. We have arrived at an evolutionary critical juncture the Ancients foretold; a Crossroads where our current methods of problem-solving would be ineffective thereby forcing us to find solutions at the next level of awareness. That knowledge was destined to be revealed at this precarious point so that we had the tools to resolve the myriad challenges we are now facing and to create a promising future. The question is: Have you had enough? Are you willing to learn what lies outside your comfort zone and make a difference?

Our Place in the Universe
Matter, mind and higher dimensions – Bernard CarrLex Pit
Prof Bernard Carr
Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy
School of Physics and Astronomy
Queen Mary, University of London
Astronomer and mathematician Bernard Carr theorizes that many of the phenomena we experience but cannot explain within the physical laws of this dimension actually occur in other dimensions.
Albert Einstein stated that there are at least four dimensions. The fourth dimension is time, or spacetime, since Einstein said space and time cannot be separated. In modern physics, theories about the existence of up to 11 dimensions and the possibility of more have gained traction.
Carr, a professor of mathematics and astronomy at Queen Mary University of London, says our consciousness interacts with another dimension. Furthermore, the multi-dimensional universe he envisions has a hierarchical structure. We are at the lowest-level dimension.
“The model resolves well-known philosophical problems concerning the relationship between matter and mind, elucidates the nature of time, and provides an ontological framework for the interpretation of phenomena such as apparitions, OBEs [out-of-body experiences], NDEs [near-death-experiences], and dreams,” he wrote in a conference abstract.
Carr reasons that our physical sensors only show us a 3-dimensional universe, though there are actually at least four dimensions. What exists in the higher dimensions are entities we cannot touch with our physical sensors. He said that such entities must still have a type of space to exist in.
“The only non-physical entities in the universe of which we have any experience are mental ones, and … the existence of paranormal phenomena suggests that mental entities have to exist in some sort of space,” Carr wrote.
The other-dimensional space we enter in dreams overlaps with the space where memory exists. Carr says telepathy signals a communal mental space and clairvoyance also contains a physical space. “Non-physical percepts have attributes of externality,” he wrote in his book “Matter, Mind, and Higher Dimensions.”
He builds on previous theories, including the Kaluza–Klein theory, which unifies the fundamental forces of gravitation and electromagnetism. The Kaluza–Klein theory also envisions a 5-dimensional space.
In “M-theory,” there are 11 dimensions. In superstring theory, there are 10. Carr understands this as a 4-dimensional “external” space—meaning these are the four dimensions in Einstein’s relativity theory—and a 6- or 7-dimensional “internal” space—meaning these dimensions relate to psychic and other “intangible” phenomena.
The "theory of everything" was discovered
For physicists the final formula is the "formula of all formulas". Einstein, Heisenberg and many famous physicists have dreamed of this "equation for everything", in vain looking for it their whole lives. Modern science seeks for what holds together the world in the biggest and smallest parts. With the "theory of everything" it is possible to give a clear and unambiguous description of the observable phenomena in nature.
A World novelty
The "theory of everything" -a development of the Max Planck approaches- elegantly combines different phenomena of the microcosm and macrocosm in a plausible explanation. His knowledge of how to use a brief formula as physical "equation of everything" to explain the entire universe, the author wants to share in his ebook.
With the final formula the following fundamental constants and significant physical parameters were derived:
- Elementary charge
- Electron mass
- Proton mass
- Proton radius
- acceleration due to gravity
- Gravitational constant
- Fine structure constant
- Speed of Light
In this ebook, the author wants to share his knowledge of how to use a formula to explain the entire universe, in an easily understandable language. Based on equations derived from fundamental physical constants of nature that play a central role in physics, the author demonstrate that it is possible to explain the entire universe with a brief physical formula as equation of everything.

We here try to apply the concept of Possible/Parallel Worlds from Logic, which came to our knowledge through the hands of Graham Priest, and through a French movie, to Psychiatry. We think this concept is ideal because we can make use of mathematical elements to draw theories of control, and diagnosis, and therefore also therapeutic theories. We will make use of the new model of psyche proposed by us to expand on a few items. Perhaps the best use of this paper is empowering the professionals of Psychiatry, and Psychology by providing new tools for their studies, and work. The main focus is the human psyche. In order to explain the World of God, Inner Reality, and Outer Reality, which are divisions that are obtained from applying the concept of parallel worlds to the studies on the human psyche, we end up paying a light, and perhaps, an enlightening, visit to the concepts of schizophrenia, autism, Down Syndrome, and psychopathy.

Talk given at at the Transhumanism and Spirituality Conference 2010.
http://www.transhumanism-spirituality.org/
Abstract: Following the Turing-Church conjecture, minds can be uploaded from biological brains to other computational substrates. Mind uploading research may achieve practical results within decades. Given the technology, humans may live indefinitely, colonizing the universe, and resurrecting the dead by "copying them to the future". Perhaps they will create synthetic realities inhabited by sentient minds; perhaps we are in a synthetic reality. These considerations parallel the tenets of many religions. The Turing Church will be a meta-religion, without central doctrine, characterized by common interest in the promised land where science and religion meet, science becomes religion, and religion becomes science.

Exploring the Mindfulness Understanding Its Benefits.pptxMartaLoveguard
Slide 1: Title: Exploring the Mindfulness: Understanding Its Benefits
Slide 2: Introduction to Mindfulness
Mindfulness, defined as the conscious, non-judgmental observation of the present moment, has deep roots in Buddhist meditation practice but has gained significant popularity in the Western world in recent years. In today's society, filled with distractions and constant stimuli, mindfulness offers a valuable tool for regaining inner peace and reconnecting with our true selves. By cultivating mindfulness, we can develop a heightened awareness of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, leading to a greater sense of clarity and presence in our daily lives.
Slide 3: Benefits of Mindfulness for Mental Well-being
Practicing mindfulness can help reduce stress and anxiety levels, improving overall quality of life.
Mindfulness increases awareness of our emotions and teaches us to manage them better, leading to improved mood.
Regular mindfulness practice can improve our ability to concentrate and focus our attention on the present moment.
Slide 4: Benefits of Mindfulness for Physical Health
Research has shown that practicing mindfulness can contribute to lowering blood pressure, which is beneficial for heart health.
Regular meditation and mindfulness practice can strengthen the immune system, aiding the body in fighting infections.
Mindfulness may help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity by reducing stress and improving overall lifestyle habits.
Slide 5: Impact of Mindfulness on Relationships
Mindfulness can help us better understand others and improve communication, leading to healthier relationships.
By focusing on the present moment and being fully attentive, mindfulness helps build stronger and more authentic connections with others.
Mindfulness teaches us how to be present for others in difficult times, leading to increased compassion and understanding.
Slide 6: Mindfulness Techniques and Practices
Focusing on the breath and mindful breathing can be a simple way to enter a state of mindfulness.
Body scan meditation involves focusing on different parts of the body, paying attention to any sensations and feelings.
Practicing mindful walking and eating involves consciously focusing on each step or bite, with full attention to sensory experiences.
Slide 7: Incorporating Mindfulness into Daily Life
You can practice mindfulness in everyday activities such as washing dishes or taking a walk in the park.
Adding mindfulness practice to daily routines can help increase awareness and presence.
Mindfulness helps us become more aware of our needs and better manage our time, leading to balance and harmony in life.
Slide 8: Summary: Embracing Mindfulness for Full Living
Mindfulness can bring numerous benefits for physical and mental health.
Regular mindfulness practice can help achieve a fuller and more satisfying life.
Mindfulness has the power to change our perspective and way of perceiving the world, leading to deeper se
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. In memory of Rumjhum Munshi Pundit
Where / When / Who / What is Rumjhum?
4. Different concepts of self and afterlife
in Eastern and Western spiritual traditions
Nirvana, Reincarnation, Resurrection
5. Open Individualism
A “minimalist” theory of reincarnation
“The central thesis of I Am You - that we are
all the same person - is apt to strike many
readers as obviously false or even absurd….
In this book I explain how this is possible.
Moreover, I show that this is the best
explanation of who we are for a variety of
reasons…”
- Daniel Kolak
7. Physics is advancing spectacularly
but it’s not yet in contact with ultimate reality
“The outstanding achievement of twentieth-
century physics is not the theory of relativity
with its welding together of space and time,
or the theory of quanta with its present
apparent negation of the laws of causation,
or the dissection of the atom with the
resultant discovery that things are not what
they seem; it is the general recognition that
we are not yet in contact with ultimate
reality.”
-Sir James Jeans
2018: + QFT, SM, quantum matter
10. Simulation theology
The simulation hypothesis is indistinguishable from Western
religions
“These simulators would have created our world, they would be able to
monitor everything that happens here, and they would be able to
intervene in ways that conflict with the simulated default laws of
nature…
An afterlife in a different simulation or at a different level of reality after
death-in-the-simulation would be a real possibility. It is even
conceivable that the simulators might reward or punish their simulated
creatures based to how they behave.”
- Nick Bostrom
11. The Game of Life and Cellular Automata
Simple simulated physics and mathematical Life
12. Intelligent life in Conway’s Life
“It’s probable, given a large enough Life
space, initially in a random state, that after a
long time, intelligent self-replicating animals
will emerge and populate some parts of the
space…
The existence of universal computers in Life
implies that the nervous systems of self-
reproducing patterns can be arbitrarily
complex. Eventually, ‘intelligent’ species
might evolve from the same sort of selective
pressures that operated on earth.”
- John Conway
13. Cellular automata and digital physics
CA-like networks underneath space and time
“One needs something in a sense
‘underneath’ space: something from
which space as we know it can emerge.
And one needs an underlying data
structure that’s as flexible as possible…
A network - or graph - just consists of a
bunch of nodes, joined by connections.
And all that’s intrinsically defined in the
graph is the pattern of these
connections.”
- Stephen Wolfram
14. The quest for Akashic physics
and the permanent memory of the universe
Ralph Abraham and Sisir Roy suggest that
space and time emerge from a dynamic
cellular network, a graph with a huge
number of nodes and internal dynamics
similar to cellular automata. The graph
“contains all times” and fluctuates in an
internal time-like dimension, not to be
confused with ordinary time.
This is a possible theoretical foundation for a
cosmic “Akashic memory” field that stores
permanent records of everything that ever
happens in the universe.
18. One Mind makes the choice
ATHMAN = BRAHMAN
“The only possible inference from these
two facts [natural laws and free will] is, I
think, that I… am the person, if any, who
controls the 'motion of the atoms'
according to the Laws of Nature. In itself,
the insight is not new…
ATHMAN = BRAHMAN (the personal self
equals the omnipresent, all-comprehending
eternal self)…”
- Erwin Schrödinger
20. Long-range entanglement and coherent collective
excitations in the brain
The brain as quantum matter
”Memory is a printed pattern of
order supported by long range
correlations.”
- Hiroomi Umezawa
“Umezawa proposed a model of
brain dynamics based on the
dynamical generation of such long
range correlation in the way they
are normally treated in many-
body theory.”
- Giuseppe Vitiello
21. Superfluid vacuum theories
Long-range entanglement and coherent collective
excitations in the quantum vacuum
“The elementary particles (electrons, neutrinos,
quarks, etc.) are excitations of some more
fundamental medium called the quantum vacuum…
The electromagnetic and gravitational fields, as well
as the fields transferring the weak and the strong
interactions, all represent different types of
collective motion of the quantum vacuum…
[Gravity], both classical and quantum, and the
Standard Model are not fundamental: both are
effective field theories which are not applicable at
small length scales where the ‘microscopic’ physics
of a vacuum becomes important… ”
Grigory Volovik
26. The mind is part of the Mind
After death the mind leaks out into the Mind
“[When] the metabolism driving
quantum coherence [in the brain] is lost,
the quantum information leaks out to
the spacetime geometry in the universe
at large.”
- Stuart Hameroff
“[If] at death, quantum entangled
variables reflecting the living state in
some way can escape the now dead
classical body, perhaps souls can exist
and can in some remotely conceivable
manner, reincarnate.”
- Stuart Kaufmann
27. An abstract, impersonal God
woven in the fabric of spacetime
“There is a universal proto-conscious mind which we
access, and can influence us. But it actually exists at
the fundamental level of the universe, at the Planck
scale…”
- Stuart Hameroff
“The attribute of awareness is present in the quantum
vacuum …”
- Mani Bhaumik
Bhaumik suggests the idea of an abstract, “divine”
intelligence encoded in quantum fields, woven in the
very fabric of space throughout the universe, that
spawned the universe and continues to direct how it
unfolds.
28. The cosmic God learns from life
and becomes also a personal God
“Moreover in another respect the thing
that he had made was his superior, and his
teacher. For as he contemplated this the
loveliest and subtlest of all his works with
exultation, even with awe, its impact upon
him changed him, clarifying and deepening
his will. As he discriminated its virtue and
its weakness, his own perception and his
own skill matured…”
- Olaf Stapledon
30. A personal, loving and caring God
could grant resurrection and afterlife
31. The quest for Akashic engineering
An ideal fusion of Eastern and Western thinking
“The day science begins to study non-physical
phenomena, it will make more progress in one
decade than in all the previous centuries of its
existence.”
“[All] perceptible matter comes from a
primary substance, of a tenuity beyond
conception and filling all space - the Akasha or
luminiferous ether…
To create and annihilate material substance,
cause it to aggregate in forms according to his
desire, would [place Man] beside his Creator
and fulfill his ultimate destiny.”
- Nikola Tesla
32. A material simulation hypothesis
Multiple levels of reality in one physical universe
“[Suppose] we construct a large
block of matter engineered to have
the standard model (without
gravity) as its excitations…
Is the world in [the block] real?
Sure it is; the block and its
excitations are certainly real, and if
the standard model was well
simulated it may support observers
who could communicate with
laboratory observers.”
- Leonard Susskind
33. Mormon materialism, spirit matter, theosis
Mormon Transhumanism
“The end point of engineering knowledge
may be divine knowledge.
Mormon theology permits is to think of
God and humans as collaborators in
bringing to pass the immortality and
eternal life of man. Engineers may be
preparing the way for humans to act more
like gods in managing the world.”
- Richard Lyman Bushman
34. The Russian Cosmists
Christian Transhumanism
The philosophy of Nikolai Fedorov and the Russian
Cosmists is a precursor of contemporary
transhumanism.
“Fedorov's active, forceful, masculine Christianity…
Main themes in Cosmist thought include the active
human role in human and cosmic evolution; the
creation of new life forms, including a new level of
humanity; the unlimited extension of human
longevity to a state of practical immortality; the
physical resurrection of the dead;…the exploration
and colonization of the entire cosmos…”
- George M. Young
