Shattering Subconscious Isolation: Inception, Lucid Dreaming and the Collective Unconscious

Robert Waggoner — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:25:17 -0700

The upcoming sci-fi movie thriller by Christopher Nolan, Inception, raises many fascinating questions that experienced lucid dreamers (those who become consciously aware of dreaming while in the dream state) have wrestled with for decades:

- If you become consciously aware of dreaming, can you lucidly enter another's dream, or bring them into your dream?

- If they share unknown information with you, would this provide evidence for a shared or mutual dream?

Vision for the Conscious Convergence

Carl Johan Calleman — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 09:22:25 -0700

The preparations for the Conscious Convergence, July 17-18, 2010 have begun. Even though it needs the support and active collaboration of a large number of people, the snowball has started rolling. Very possibly, this will be an event that influences the course of our civilization, setting the intention to manifest unity-consciousness on a large-scale with the Ninth Wave of the Mayan calendars. I would like to share my own vision of the Conscious Convergence, and what it may accomplish, in an article with little technical detail.

Even the Divine Ones Cannot Fathom This

Robert Tindall — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 08:44:46 -0700

I don't know if this current generation of children is any different than those that came before, but I certainly know as a middle aged practitioner of traditional medicine, the coming of our first child Maitreya was a far greater event than my arrival was for my parents in the 1960s. During my daughter's first months, our house seemed to be swimming in divine pheromones, and I joked that if we were in India, we'd be carrying my daughter about on an altar, offering incense, and singing to her throughout the day.

Deep Minimum

Erin Shaw — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:05:34 -0700

Solar physicists at the American Astronomical Society are taking various approaches to explain the recent record-setting decrease in energetic activity on the Sun. The rate of activity, such as coronal mass ejections and solar flares, fluctuates within 11-year solar cycles. The evolution of cycles, indicated by sun spots, is characterized by a peak in activity known as solar maximum and a corresponding decrease in activity called solar minimum.

Well, late on Monday, June 14, it seems as if the heavens finally answered.
