By Steven Bancarz| Do we have a soul? Is there life after death? The afterlife is something that has been experienced by countless people since recorded history who have returned to tell their tales, with the most noteworthy account experienced first-hand by Harvard trained brain neurosurgeon of 25 years, Dr. Eben Alexander. This is not just another afterlife account that can be written off as a hallucination. Before we look at exactly how his experience of the afterlife defies all scientific explanation, lets explore his account a little bit. – See more at: http://www.spiritscienceandmetaphysics.com/harvard-neurosurgeon-confirms-the-afterlife-exists/#sthash.10PU1H7Q.dpuf
As David Bowie well knows, sound and vision are a wonderful pairing. Now, Sony is following in his footsteps: its latest LED bulb is also a Bluetooth speaker.
The 360-lumen bulb pairs with a smartphone via Bluetooth allowing you to adjust volume or brightness. It also comes with a dedicated remote control which can be paired using NFC. Sony claims that it allows you to play music where in the past it’s been difficult to install speakers. If anyone’s ever tried to install speakers directly into a light fitting, do speak up.
More seriously, this is a neat idea—with two caveats. The first is sound quality: small speakers can sound good, but they don’t always, and until you hear what this one sounds like you may want to keep your money in your wallet. Which leads to the second: the bulb will initially cost in the region of $200. Ouch.
The bulb is available in Japan from May 23rd and it’s not clear when it will arrive in the U.S.. But until it does, just look at the fun you could have with one of these things according to Sony’s press shots. [Sony via Verge]

Do An Email Fast:
Just twenty years ago, people enjoyed the novelty of checking their email. These days, the average person spends 13 hours a week on email– using it for an array of tasks, from personal correspondence with long-distance friends and family, to immediate work tasks and far-reaching newsletters, reminder notifications, paperless receipts, and beyond. The innovation of email has evolved into a treadmill of communication– with smartphones and tablets that make it easy for our inbox to be the last thing we see before going to sleep and the first thing we look at upon waking up.
Today, be mindful of the effect of email on your brain. Put up an away responder, step away from the inbox, and spend time soaking in the people and situations in your immediate vicinity. Notice how an email-free day impacts your way of thinking, feeling, and working. Explore ways to rearrange your relationship to email and prioritize in-person presence.

This is the world’s first solar powered 3D printed Stirling engine. Let me repeat. A 3D solar powered Stirling engine! Now that is cool off grid tech. This little ingenious device isn’t going to power your home just yet, but it is a proof of concept, and it works. The mirrors reflect the Sun’s energy onto the central area which heats up causing expansion and as the air cools it contracts. This 3d printed concept was created by German aeronautical engineer Andreas Haeuser.

By Steven Bancarz | Part of “waking up” means learning to recognize what type of personality you have. Learning your emotional, physical, and psychological tendencies can help you understand yourself better and prevent suffering in your life. More and more, people are beginning to realize that they fit into the category of “empaths”.
An empath is someone who has the ability to apprehend the mental and emotional states of other people. These people have a high social-intelligence and are very good at helping others through their problems. Unfortunately, in doing so, empaths tend to take on a heavy emotional burden since they end of feeling what others around them feel.
Being able to recognize that you are sensitive to energy is important, because so often in life we tend to think what we are feeling has arisen organically within us. What if some of our thoughts, emotions, and feelings are a result of the people in the same room as us? Or people we are close to in life?
Here are 8 common traits that empaths and energetically sensitive people have.

“Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.” — Peter Drucker
Humanize An Automated Task:
These days, rather than waiting in line at the grocery store, you can opt for the self-check-out machine. Rather than digging up cash and idling in line to hand it over to the toll booth operator, you can get an electronic toll device, like FasTrak or EZ-Pass, and enjoy the privilege of driving straight through the toll. More and more, the automation of labor is swiftly shifting our lives towards greater efficiency. But what happens to the people whose work are outsourced to machines? While the convenience of automated tasks may help move things along, how does it impact the multifaceted network of variously-skilled workers who comprise our economy? In the pursuit of convenience, what elements of humanity slip through the cracks?
Today, step off auto-pilot to re-engage with an automated task. Greet the grocery clerk or toll booth operator with a smile. Turn off the timed sprinklers and enjoy the warm sun on your skin as you physically water your lawn. Notice if and how it shifts your body and mind.
“You can’t reread a phone call.” — Liz Carpenter
Handwrite A Letter To A Dear One:
There are boundless ways to correspond with loved ones. Whether by phone or social media, email or video call, a 30-minute catch-up with an old friend has become as effortless as a few taps of fingers on keypad. Yet, such ease and convenience leaves little room for the quality and care that gets conveyed through an artfully compiled package, or a keepsake letter that conjures up snapshots of one’s week or month or year.
Today, take the time to indulge in the slow, classic art of pen on paper: hand-write a letter to someone you hold dear. Relish the reflective process and stir your creative muscles with a doodle here or a brush of poetry there. Or, for an alternative twist, write a letter to your future self. Years from now, you or your friend may stumble upon the very letter you so lovingly crafted today– a provocative reminder of the progression of life, and powerful artifact of the impact of one’s life on another.
“Life is available only in the present. That is why we should walk in such a way that every step can bring us to the here and the now.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
Reduce Your Phone Use:
The cellular phone is an invention that has added much to our lives. It’s enabled us to communicate on-the-go, plan for change, and pass along short messages when talking is not possible. In recent years, smartphones have created exponential new uses out of our cellular devices. From alarm clock to calculator, web browser to camera to GPS navigator, it has become a handy toolbox of modern life. Whether walking down the street, on the subway, or in the office building, no one is phased at the sound of the buzz or ding signaling an incoming message, calendar notification, or missed phone call. More people in the world today have mobile phones than toilets. With such ease and utility, cell phones have literally become attached at our hips– sitting on constant standby in our pockets and purses, boardroom tables and bedside nightstands. One phone app reports its 4.5K+ users check their phones 2-3 times every waking hour.
Today, reduce your phone use. Keep it powered off or on silent, and check it briefly for limited intervals throughout the day. Leave it in your desk drawer, tucked away in your car, or at home altogether, and notice how many times you feel compelled to reach for and check it.
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” — Lao Tzu
Replace Screen Time With A Walk Outdoors —
Between 2012 and 2013, mobile screen time increased by 50 percent. In parallel, research has revealed that a walk can drastically transform a cognitively-fatigued mind: “You come back and you repeat the cognitive testing and whether it’s memory recall, target identification, or your attention overall, it’s consistently far better after having taken a nature walk.” Children who take a break from technology to play outside can better understand nonverbal cues. Today, substitute 15 minutes of screen time with a walk in the open air. Take time to look up at the sky, and tune in to all the elements of nature around you. Notice the wind, sun, trees and sky. Notice how your breath and body feel as you move. Witness how the change of scenery and pace impacts your energy, morale, and efficiency.
It’s how we spend our time here and now, that really matters. If you are fed up with the way you have come to interact with time, change it. — Marcia Wieder
Track Your Screen Time —
With much of our work and personal hours taking place on computers, smartphones, and tablets, it can be easy to lose track of how much of the day actually unfolds in front of a screen. Today, keep a record of how much time you spend on digital devices. Time each session you find yourself in front of a screen, and track it on a spreadsheet, document, or slip of paper. Dig even deeper, by taking a minute every hour to categorize your plugged-in activities for that period: work, study, personal, and random. At the end of the day, add up your screen time. Do your results surprise or meet your expectations? Brainstorm three ways you can adjust your use of screen time to align with your values, health, and preferences. To step things up, make tracking your screen time a family endeavor, and post a log sheet (like this) in an easy-to-view place at home.
Relationships are built on small, consistent deposits of time. –Andy Stanley
Reconnect In Person With Someone: The jury is still out– and will be for a long time– on whether constant, instant connectivity is a net gain or loss for society. But on a personal level, most of us have had our share of online insults, whether intentionally or accidentally. How many of us still regret that slip of the finger that led to hitting ‘send’ instead of ‘save’ on an email? If you’ve developed etiquette for such incidents, do share. :)) Yet perhaps the greatest cause of e-pain is omission, not commission. That is, being inattentive or missing in action from those around us. Today, think of 3 people who are really close to you. Do a silent inventory to see if you have short-changed any of them of the pleasure of your company. Reach out to at least one of them today to schedule quality time together. On the flip-side, step-it-up by inviting those who have e-dropped out of your life to reconnect. Their absence from you was probably no more intentional than your absence from them.
The story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction. –Ray Kurzweil
Dig Deeper Into Artificial Intelligence — Artificial Intelligence (AI) was once a far-fetched figment of our collective imagination. But technology has come a long way since then, and now we have devices that can answer questions about everything from where to eat dinner, and how to get to the nearest gas station, to what books we should read. As our technology grows more refined the line between artificial and real continues to blur. In January 2015, experts in the field signed an open letter to protect mankind from machines, reminding humanity to tread lightly while developing really smart machines. Today, read up on artificial intelligence. Learn about the exciting possibilities and the sobering edges around them. Share your findings with others, and keep an eye out for developments in the coming years. The more informed we are, the more we can collectively make thoughtful decisions on the direction of intelligent machines for a long time to come.
What is infant circumcision? Why is the practice common in U.S. hospitals and not in other countries? What does it remove and how does that affect the child? Does scientific data suggest that circumcision has benefits? What are the potential complications? How does it affect sexuality? Is it a medical procedure or a social surgery? If it’s unnecessary surgery, what about contemporary bioethics principles?
Through both a review of scientific literature and a discussion of the human cost of the procedure, this presentation explores these questions from the perspectives of the child, the adult survivor, the parent, and the practitioner.
Ryan is a parent, a biophysicist, an Assistant Professor of Physics and Oncology at Georgetown University, and also a volunteer who supports parents and families. Over the last 10 years he has been studying the medicalization of childbirth in U.S. hospitals.

Prioritize Your Online Time — A signal-to-noise ratio is the power ratio between a signal of meaningful information and the background noise of useless information. That’s the technical definition. On a day-to-day basis, it can also refer to the ratio of really profound content to really unnecessary cat videos on Facebook. Today, pay attention to meaningful pieces of communication, and filter out all other background noise and distractions. Delete the promotional ads in your inbox, and unsubscribe from newsletters or magazines that distract you from what’s really important. Refrain from participating in idle gossip, and aimless browsing online. By prioritizing what streams of information to focus on, you are de-cluttering your mind space, which ultimately leverages your energy to address what really matters.

A doctor in Indonesia recently came up with an idea that can help to provide healthcare to the needy and put a dent in garbage pollution as well.
Dr. Gamal Albinsaid recognized that many people in his country had severe health problems with no insurance, and no money to pay for medicine or medical care. He also noticed that many rural villages nearby were filled with garbage.
Thinking on how to solve both problems, Gamal eventually decided that he would provide free health care to people who turned in their garbage.
“You have people who can’t go to the hospital because they don’t have money. So I started thinking, if you don’t have money, what do you have?” Gamal said.
“There’s garbage everywhere on the ground. So we decided to use garbage as a financial resource,” he continued.
He then created a company called Garbage Clinical Insurance which collects the trash that is given to him by his patients and then sells it to recycling companies. The money earned from the recycled garbage is then used to pay for medicine and health care for the people who turned in the trash.
There are now Dutch, Hebrew, and Polish subtitles on the TEDx video, with more to come! – Melanie Joy
“As the parlor awakens social consciousness, the library fosters reading consciousness, and the bedroom suggest sleeping, so everyone should have a room or screened off corner, or a well ventilated closet, used exclusively for the purpose of silent meditation. Traditional homes in India always have such a shrine for daily worship.

“A sanctuary in one’s home is very effective in fostering spirituality, because unlike a place of public worship it becomes personalized, and also because it is accessible for spontaneous devotional expressions throughout the day. The children in India are not forced to frequent the shrine, but are inspired to do so by the parents’ example.
“In these home temples, families learn to find the soul peace hidden behind the veil of silence. Here they introspect, and in prayer and meditation recharge themselves with the inner power of the soul, and in divine communion attune themselves to discriminative wisdom by which they may govern their lives according to the dictates of conscience and right judgment.
“Interiorized prayer brings forth the realization that peace and service to divine ideals are the goal of life, without which no amount of material acquisition can assure happiness.”

Why is there a sudden push by the FDA to label homeopathic remedies as dangerous? Why is there a need to regulate substances that have been used for hundreds of years with out any issues? What does the FDA have to gain?
The FDA has published two documents recently, which suggest that WAR is being declared on the profession of homeopathic medicine – or at least on the manufacture of homeopathic remedies, which comes to the same thing in the end. What is a homeopath without homeopathic remedies?
On March 19, 2015 the FDA published an advisory (called a “safety alert”) about homeopathic asthma OTC medications, recommending that patients be wary, and that health care practitioners be sure to report any adverse effects to the FDA. Here is the link to that safety alert: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm439014.htm
The FDA has since that date scheduled public hearings on
“the current use of human drug and biological products labeled as homeopathic, as well as the Agency’s regulatory framework for such products. These products include prescription drugs and biological products labeled as homeopathic and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs labeled as homeopathic.”
Here is the link to the document which was published on March 27, 2015 – not even 10 days after the March 19th safety alert. https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2015/03/27/2015-07018/homeopathic-product-regulation-evaluating-the-food-and-drug-administrations-regulatory-framework
The date of the hearings is set for April 20 and 21, 2015, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. That is three weeks from first publication of the announcement.

“If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Wherever you are — if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time.”
~ Joseph Campbell

DO YOU have the courage to stand up and Live Free? The majority of America refuses to fight what the rest of the world sees … Silence to all the wrongs we all know about (from FB, among other places) means CONSENT, i.e., tacit agreement, to continued poisoning of our food, water and air; poisoning via vaccine; and corporate enslavement via RFID chips, outrageous taxation, licensing fees, insurance, mortgages, bank fees and real-time police harassment. If you’ve given your permission to continue the present status quo through your tacit agreement to all of these wrongdoings, your head remains in the sand by helping the Cabal keep their systems intact … and that keeps the misery going for us all. Take responsibility and BE PRESENT NOW … Read on, if you’ve got the guts TO BE.
“The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what it is.”- Baruch Spinoza
“Eunoia” is a performance that uses my brainwaves — collected via EEG sensor– to manipulate the motions of water. It derives from the Greek word “ey” (well) + “nous” (mind) meaning “beautiful thinking”. EEG is a brainwave detecting sensor. It measures frequencies of my brain activity (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma, Theta) relating to my state of consciousness while wearing it. The data collected from EEG is translated in realtime to modulate vibrations of sound with using software programs. EEG sends the information of my brain activity to Processing, which is linked with Max/MSP to receive data and generate sound from Reaktor.” – Lisa Park
“Eunoia II is outfitted with 48 vibration pools, inspired by the 48 emotions philosopher Baruch Spinoza outlined in his book, Ethica, like frustration, excitement, engagement, and meditation. Each speaker vibrates according to Park’s brain wave-interpreting algorithm, which tranforms intense signals from Park’s Emotiv EEG headset into intense vibrations in the pools of water atop speakers. The modulation of the sound (volume, speed, panning) occurs in real-time in response to her emotional values detected by EEG headset. Here, Park is literally putting her inner struggles on display, and the whole show depends on how she deals with her feelings. The calmer she is, the less vibrations of the sound happen.”

The original article is available here and was published by Josiah Hultgren.
The ultimate goal of humanity is to ascend into the crystalline Light body, a state of true immortality.
Evolution does not stop there, but continues beyond fifth density into sixth and finally, seventh, the original level of the soul.
At some point, your soul’s journey through the lower worlds will be complete and you will return to the seventh plane where you will reunite with your soul family.
Whether this happens in 100 years or a million does not matter, for what is in front of you now is what matters.
This is the most exciting time in the history of your soul’s journey.
Even though most of you have had numerous incarnations in fourth and fifth density worlds before, never have you moved directly into the higher dimensions in the manner set before you now.
Planets evolve through the lower densities, taking approximately 108 million years to complete one density level.
In the case of your Earth, which is approximately 4.5 billion years old, it took most of that time to get established on the path of ascension.
Now that Earth is moving into fourth density, we anticipate that she will remain a fourth density world for the next 108 million years, although souls will be able to reside upon her that are fifth density.
In your fifth density state, you will not be subject to the same laws and principles as fourth density humans.
You will be walking in two worlds, or rather, two different levels of Gaia, the conscious being you called Earth.

If there was ever a year to commemorate Pi Day in a big way, this is it. The date of this Saturday—3/14/15—gives us not just the first three digits (as in most years) but the first five digits of pi, the famous irrational number 3.14159265359… that expresses the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter.
For an extra thrill, be sure to observe Pi Day on 3/14/15 at 9:26:53 (A.M. and/or P.M.!), which will give you a full 10 digits of pi—an occurrence that will not roll around for another century. (Of course, the specialness of this year really only works in the U.S. and other places that commonly put the month before the day, rather than in Europe, say, where they would note the date as 14/3/15.) And if this Saturday is not already special enough, it is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, giving math and science enthusiasts even more reason to revel.
Pi fans can celebrate this weekend with a wealth of math- (and baked goods–) related opportunities. Traditionalists will of course bake pies, both because of the pun and because of their circular nature (not to mention their tastiness). For the sugar-averse, pizzas have the right shape, and the right first two letters as well.
Science museums around the country are also planning live events. The National Museum of Mathematics in New York City, for example, will gather people in Madison Square Park to light up a circle around the central fountain and compare its circumference with the distance across it—accompanied by free hot chocolate and pie. Other festivities are being held at Exploratorium in San Francisco, the Air Force Research Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio, Princeton University (which is having a pie-eating contest, among other activities) and the National Cryptologic Museum near Washington, D.C., among many more.
If you bake a pie, eat a pizza or party with other pi fans, please send us a picture and description of how you observed the Pi Day of the Century for a gallery we plan to post next week.
