Como Aprender a Aprender - Como Aprender Mais Rápido. 23 Things Terence McKenna Said Best, From DMT Sex To Telepathic Octopi. At 25, a friend introduced me to “Surfing Finnegans Wake,” in which a nasally man lectures for three hours, ostensibly off-the-cuff, on the psychedelic, boundary-dissolving experience of reading James Joyce.

23 Things Terence McKenna Said Best, From DMT Sex To Telepathic Octopi

I remember thinking his voice sounded extra-terrestrial. It was Terence McKenna. Here’s a quote from the lecture, which will hopefully be blurbed on the next jacket cover of Finnegans Wake: “This [Finnegans Wake] comes about as close as anybody came to pushing the entire contents of the universe down into approximately 14 cubic inches.” A year or so later, having forgotten about McKenna, I found the Psychedelic Salon, a podcast hosted by a friendly man named Lorenzo. 3 Amazing Mind Tricks That Will Help You Remember Small Details.

The 12 Worst Habits for Your Mental Health. Quantum physics just got less complicated. Here's a nice surprise: quantum physics is less complicated than we thought.

Quantum physics just got less complicated

An international team of researchers has proved that two peculiar features of the quantum world previously considered distinct are different manifestations of the same thing. The result is published 19 December in Nature Communications. Patrick Coles, Jedrzej Kaniewski, and Stephanie Wehner made the breakthrough while at the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore. They found that 'wave-particle duality' is simply the quantum 'uncertainty principle' in disguise, reducing two mysteries to one. "The connection between uncertainty and wave-particle duality comes out very naturally when you consider them as questions about what information you can gain about a system. The discovery deepens our understanding of quantum physics and could prompt ideas for new applications of wave-particle duality. Explore further: A new 'lens' for looking at quantum behavior.

5 Ways to Increase Your Spiritual Awareness

Chang, GuestWaking Times Many of us seem to think that being spiritual means we have to be religious. Just because you aren’t directly affiliated with a specific religion doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive to be more spiritual. The whole concept of spiritual awareness isn’t all about connecting with a higher divine power, but also connecting with nature and yourself. Once you have established this connection, you will see life from a whole different perspective.

Here are five techniques that can help you increase your spiritual awareness: Technique #1: Learn to Communicate With Your Soul Your soul is an energy entity that holds part of your awareness and memories. To communicate to your soul, you need to first believe that you have one. Technique #2: Get Plenty of Sleep Create a schedule that makes it possible for you to get at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Technique #3: Spend Time With Nature. How 'magic mushroom' chemical could treat depression. Think of psychedelics and you'll likely think of bright colors, hallucinations, spirituality, and an overall "mystical" experience.

How 'magic mushroom' chemical could treat depression

For centuries these drugs have been used in social, religious and medicinal contexts by cultures across the globe. But today, the ability of these drugs to alter our brain function is being tapped into as a potential therapeutic for a range of mental health conditions from anxiety and depression to addiction and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). "Only by losing the self, can you find the self," explains Dr Robin Carhart-Harris, from Imperial College London.

These may not be the usual words of a scientist but there is biology behind them. "People try and run away from things and to forget, but with psychedelic drugs they're forced to confront and really look at themselves," he says. The drugs Carhart-Harris is referring to are hallucinogens such as magic mushrooms -- specifically the active chemical inside them, psilocybin. Aluminium poisoning may trigger Alzheimer’s disease, claims professor. Aluminium, he argues, is now added to or used in almost everything we eat, drink, inject or absorb.

Aluminium poisoning may trigger Alzheimer’s disease, claims professor

The metal is abundant in the Earth’s crust and is naturally absorbed from the soil by plants and foodstuffs. But aluminium sulphate is also added to water to improve clarity, to cakes and biscuits as a raising agent and it is in tea, cocoa, wine and fizzy drinks. Cosmetics, sunscreens and antiperspirants are likely to contain aluminium as well as some medications such as aspirin or antacids. The body naturally excretes aluminium but large amounts are deposited in the nerves, brain, bone, liver, heart, spleen and muscle.

Prof Exley argues that aluminium builds up in the brain until it reaches a ‘toxic threshold’ beyond which neurons cannot cope. “If the same neuron or brain tissue is also suffering other insults, or another on-going degenerative condition, then the additional response to aluminium will exacerbate these effects,” he said. 10 Ways to Become More Conscious.
