Global Consciousness Project The Best Ayahuasca Animations You Can Find Online (2008-2018) | Kahpi What are ayahuasca animations? Psychedelic luminaries such as Terence McKenna, Timothy Leary and John Lilly shared a vision. They understood the psychedelic experience through the use of metaphors and symbols, or a kind of “twisted language” to use a saying from the Yaminahua native ayahuasca drinkers of the Amazon rainforest. The computer metaphor has its limitations, just like the mechanical metaphors that were popular to think with during the industrial age had their limitations. The result can be nothing short of eye-bending, mind-candy that opens a portal of the soul through the interface of your screen. Artists and animators have been attracted to the vividness, beauty and complexity of ayahuasca visions. One limitation of using computer-based metaphors to understand reality and psychedelic experience comes from the objectivist stance on reality the metaphors imply. Our previous experiences and beliefs shape our psychedelic experiences. Or maybe culture is not so important.

Virgin Galactic Doesn't Just Benefit the Rich—It's Good for Science A man watches as WhiteKnightTwo, carrying SpaceShipTwo, takes flight over Spaceport America, on October 17, 2011. FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images Last week’s crash of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, which killed one test pilot and injured another, brought criticism that the company is merely a provider of space safaris for the rich—one that’s not worth dying for. Yes, Virgin Galactic caters to the wealthy who can afford its $250,000 parabolic joyrides, if and when they finally take flight. Virgin doesn’t offer a lot of weightless time—Katy Perry and Ashton Kutcher will get just four minutes to float around the cabin before they have to find their way back to their seats. Will Pomerantz, vice president for special projects at Virgin Galactic, is a planetary science researcher by training. Research in outer space isn’t just about making life beyond Earth more feasible: It can directly impact our gravity-ridden lives. courtesy Virgin Galactic The first is LauncherOne.
Overview effect Northwest coast of United States to Central South America at night The overview effect is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts and cosmonauts during spaceflight, often while viewing the Earth from orbit or from the lunar surface.[1][2][3][4][5] It refers to the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space, which is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, "hanging in the void", shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. From space, the astronauts tell us,[5] national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this "pale blue dot" becomes both obvious and imperative.

Audun MYSKJA, Médecine énergétique – une discipline émergeante | Effiworld Audun Myskja, médecin et docteur-ès-sciences, a travaillé depuis les années 1970 pour développer la médecine intégrative, cherchant à faire une synthèse entre la précision scientifique des nouvelles technologies de médicine et les traditions de guérison naturelles. Il a écrit plusieurs livres à ce sujet, a publié un nombre important d’études et de publications scientifiques et il anime une quantité conséquente de séminaires en Norvège et à l’étranger. Il a reçu le Prix Qualité de l’Association Médicale Norvégienne (Norwegian Medical Association) pour sa recherche dans ce domaine. Audun Myskja est formé à la thérapie musicale neurologique et a dirigé et conseillé un certain nombre de projets nationaux et internationaux dans l’objectif de trouver des solutions de santé efficaces pour des maladies chroniques au travers de la musique, le son et le rythme.

Sex-terapi med Joan Ørting | Sex-terapi for åbne mikrofoner Demon Days: Alvin Leung Amid tentacles and open flames, the self-professed “Demon Chef” Alvin Leung reveals a wicked palate and a penchant for carnal creations in this short by filmmaker Ryan Hopkinson. Born in London and raised in Toronto, Leung rose to prominence in Hong Kong, becoming known for what he calls “X-treme Chinese” cuisine, a far-out technique that harnesses the futuristic appeal of molecular gastronomy alongside the wide reach of fusion. The incendiary results both morph traditional Chinese recipes into kinky culinary experiences, and tackle off-the-plate issues: the self-taught chef’s signature dish, Sex on the Beach, serves up an edible “condom” on a shitake beach, created to raise funds and awareness for AIDS charity. With all the different genres of cooking out there today, why choose “X-treme Cuisine”? I want to give people something more than tags like fusion, molecular or modern contemporary. What inspires your X-treme recipes? How might you adapt a classic, familiar dish?
Out Of This World: The Mysterious Mental Side Effects Of Traveling Into Space At first they thought it was asthma. The fighter squadron's 37-year-old commander suddenly started refusing to fly at high altitudes because of mysterious breathing problems. He also struggled to control feelings of wrath toward his coworkers, and that made him hyperventilate. It was only later that the commander would tell a Navy psychologist what really triggered him: That while flying at the edge of the troposphere, “a frightening feeling of detachment” set in. There, in the halo of thin silence surrounding the earth in 1956, he didn’t trust his own mind not to self-destruct. The atmosphere gets threadbare above 45,000 feet. Strange things have happened to the human mind at those heights. Not many pilots wanted to tell shrinks about break-off. A few pilots were willing to take that risk. The break-off phenomenon soon became a topic of discussion for any national power interested in hurtling their brawny young men beyond Earth’s atmosphere. Then, suddenly, break-off went away. Dr.
Alice & Bob communiquent autrement... - IRIS Intuition Consulting Découverte d’une forme de communication immatérielle. La communication entre deux personnes peut se faire sans échange de particules. Un physicien de l’Université Texas A&M, Suhail Zubairy, et des chercheurs du Centre National de Mathématique et de Physique d’Arabie Saoudite, dont Hatim Salih, viennent de développer un moyen de communiquer sans utiliser de particules physiques, suggérant ainsi que l’information peut voyager d’une manière inhabituelle. Dans leur article présentant leur découverte, les chercheurs décrivent une interaction, une communication donc, entre « Alice » et « Bob » en utilisant un dispositif s’appuyant sur un effet quantique (voir articles référencés en bas de page pour le détail du dispositif). Avec ce dispositif, une information peut être échangée entre Alice et Bob sans qu’aucune particule (par exemple un photon, l’unité électromagnétique de lumière) ne passe à travers le canal de communication.
