Time Perception Time Perception [Publishers are always concerned about the number of pages in a book, so to pare down an earlier edition of the text, this section was removed. It's now a bit dated, but I'll make an effort to update it when the smoke clears a bit.] Perhaps you have an uneasy feeling as you begin to read about time perception. Color perception, shape perception, and distance perception all refer to tangible attributes. Even loudness, pitch, and motion perception seem reasonably concrete. Characteristics of the Time Experiencer In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams (1979) satirizes the foibles of modern people, including our obsession with digital wristwatches.

A complete version of The Gospel of Mary Magdalene - National Gnosticism & Heretical Spirituality Mary Magdalene has perennially intrigued western culture, yet her interest has peaked in the last generation because of the parallel interest in the Gnostic Gospels. No longer just a redeemed sinner or sensuous projection for artists, Gnosticism revealed a Mary Magdalene who was a spiritual visionary, a religious leader, and perhaps the main disciple of the risen Christ. In the Nag Hammadi library’s Dialogue with of Savior, she is proclaimed as “the woman who understood The All.” The most popular narration of Mary Magdalene today is the Gospel of Mary (even though its discovery is well over a century old). In The Pre-Nicene New Testament, Robert M. Price explains that the Gnostic notion of divulging the ethereal map leading to the Eternal realm derived from “Babylonian astrology and Mithraism, but it was no doubt made real by the visions of ascetics who, alone in their desert cells, strove mightily against the demons of temptation. Price’s reconstruction is presented in italics.
Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus Look, so, nothing matters, right? Shit's fucking weird. We all want to know how the universe ultimately works or who's running the show or whatever, and it turns out - TRICK. FUCKING. QUESTION. So what do we do? Sisyphus, same thing. So, to embrace the absurd, you have to acknowledge that life is absurd and live it anyway. El Omnibus de Terence Mckenna 2012 (un extraordinario documental en 12 partes de 12:12 Terence Mckenna fue uno de los primeros estrellas del Internet, de esa primera red vital, psicodélica y contracultural. Pero difícilmente, entre una enorme biblioteca de bits dedicados a Mckenna, habíamos visto material tan estimulante, con una narrativa tan bien tejida y con clips tan meméticamente ricos (una especie de orgía de resonancia mórfica con los jardines encendidos de la noósfera). Por supuesto, el protagonista de este épico ensayo numerológico sobre la mente y el tiempo, es la elocuencia hipnótica del bardo psicodélico (el sonido del Logos): Mckenna se erige excepcionalmente como la voz de una tribu que mantiene la lucidez al perderse en la profundidad de la mente y rebasar los límites impuestos de la realidad, hacia las regiones de la locura, la iluminación química y la evolución acelerada. Doce entregas de 12:12 minutos, concluyendo el 21 de diciembre del 2012: la explicación final del sistema de tiempo fractal de Mckenna, el Timewave Zero.

History of the Illuminati The Illuminati trace their origins back thousands of years to their conception as a result of the genetic inbreeding between a reptilian extraterrestrial race and humanity. Their modern origin, however, traces back to the 1760s and a man named Adam Weishaupt, who defected from the Catholic church and organized the Illuminati, financed by the International Bankers. Since then, according to the Illuminati, their top goal has been to achieve a “one world government” and to subjugate all religions and governments in the process. The Illuminati thus attribute all wars since the French Revolution as having been fomented by them in their pursuit of their goals. Weishaupt wrote out a master plan in the 1770s outlining the Illuminati’s goals, finishing on May 1, 1776. In the 1780s, the Bavarian Government found out about the Illuminati’s subversive activities, forcing the Illuminati to disband and go underground. Their short-term plan foiled, the Illuminati adopted a different strategy.
The Three Love Mantras that Open Your Heart By Marci Shimoff The first time I fell in love I couldn’t believe what happened to the world. The sky had never been that blue before! The trees looked like works of art! The most annoying acquaintance was suddenly adorable, and the morning traffic jam became a delightful chance to sit and dream. We’ve all been there, haven’t we? That was the question I set out to answer in my latest book, Love for No Reason. Three Love Mantras that Open Your Heart Love Mantras – #1: Love is Who We Are. Instead of walking around with a little cup, begging for a few drops of love from others, recognize that you’re the huge ocean of love. Philosophy of science Philosophy of science is a branch of philosophy concerned with the foundations, methods, and implications of science. The central questions concern what counts as science, the reliability of scientific theories, and the purpose of science. This discipline overlaps with metaphysics, ontology and epistemology, for example, when it explores the relationship between science and truth. There is no consensus on many central problems in philosophy of science, including whether science can reveal the truth about unobservable things and whether scientific reasoning can be justified at all. In addition to these general questions about science as a whole, philosophers of science consider problems that apply to particular sciences such as biology or physics. Today, some thinkers seek to ground science in axiomatic assumptions such as the uniformity of nature.
