The Ten Most Revealing Psych Experiments

Psychology is the study of the human mind and mental processes in relation to human behaviors - human nature. Due to its subject matter, psychology is not considered a 'hard' science, even though psychologists do experiment and publish their findings in respected journals. Some of the experiments psychologists have conducted over the years reveal things about the way we humans think and behave that we might not want to embrace, but which can at least help keep us humble. That's something. 1. http://brainz.org/ten-most-revealing-psych-experiments/

10 Brilliant Social Psychology Studies | PsyBlog

Ten of the most influential social psychology studies. "I have been primarily interested in how and why ordinary people do unusual things, things that seem alien to their natures.

Time flies when you're having fun. But you're at work, and work sucks. So how is it 5 p.m. already?
Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. All we can say is that they sound awesome, since apparently you can make your brain...

5 Ways To Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness

How to Be Alone

I once knew a man who hated to be alone.
Some of the Core Concepts of Bashar Bashar is a male member of a 5th dimensional civilization called the Essassani . This is an "informal" concentrated summary by Iasos of some of the core concepts of Bashar, based on listening to innumerable recordings of his talks, and also reading his two books "Quest for Truth" and "Bashar: Blueprint for Change". The entire Essassani civilization is based on unconditional love, ecstasy, fun, following your excitement, being totally non-judgemental, and giving validity and equality to the uniqueness of each individual in the society. Bashar, as experienced from the recordings of the channelings, is extremely enthusiastic - almost to the point of seeming cartoon-like! And yet he has an incredibly fast mind, an amazing wit, a loving heart, and of course a profound understanding of reality.

Each day your life encounters meaningful coincidences, synchronicities, that you have attracted, on other words created in the grid of your experiences in the physical.
