Here’s some more recent news on the scientific community coming to grips with the Multiverse. NPR’s Ira Flatow interviews Brian Green, who was featured in a special NOVA series a while back, The Elegant Universe, which you can view online at PBS for free. I highly recommend both.
Bruce Lipton, Ph.D, is a biologist who’s work on genetics led to challenge the notion of one’s genes imposing limits on his or her human potential, a fundamental tenant that was originally put forth by the discoverers of the DNA double-helix, James Watson and Francis Crick. As Bruce will explain in the video below, his research revealed how environment plays a crucial role in activating our genetic potential, and integrates that knowledge with current advancements in the understanding of how our conscious (or unconscious) awareness affects not only our overall health, but the very quality of life we live.
For anyone looking to better grasp an understanding of the power of positive thought and the unconscious factors in our lives that we need to confront in order to cease sabotaging ourselves, this video is key.
Also, this footage is just part of a series of videos being assembled for the 2011 World Summit on Tapping (aka EFT), a technique used to relieve stress and anxiety by subtly reprogramming our unconscious thoughts to align with our true intentions for actively manifesting better personal lives and a better world in general. If you’d like to get more information on this technique, you can follow this link to the Tapping World Summit website.
I’ve used this and other techniques at various times with good results. It’s not necessarily my preferred method, though it’s simplicity makes it very accessible to anyone with an open enough mind to give it a whirl. Either way, I highly recommend the video, as it will definitely give you some great information supporting the evidence for how mind/consciousness effects matter, and help reveal the limiting beliefs we hold that undermine our efforts to live healthier lives.
Here’s a great interview of John Hagelin, Ph.D, discussing the subject of consciousness as it relates to our understanding of the very fabric of reality. You may remember him from the film series, What the Bleep Do We Know!? which delved deeply into this subject a few years back, citing countless examples of how our current understanding of physics is gradually approaching a unified field theory, and how that understanding is pointing very clearly at the component of consciousness as a fundamental element to the workings of the cosmos.
This is not a new idea, of course—ancient wisdom from all the major spiritual paradigms have been striving to convey this awareness to the masses all along…but the scientific community which has for so long eschewed such intangible claims as so much bologna is in the last century gradually coming to the same conclusions.
So, we’re on the cusp of a re-merging between science and mysticism, placing us on the precipice of a potentially profound new awareness of our place in the cosmos in the 21st century…not to mention realizing just what we are really capable of when we put our mind to something…especially if we can do it collectively.
