What Happens After Death? New Theory Suggests Consciousness Moves To Another Universe | A book titled “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe“ has stirred up the internet, because it contained a notion that life does not end when the body dies, and it can last forever. The author of this publication, scientist Dr. Robert Lanza who was voted the 3rd most important scientist alive by the NY Times, has no doubts that this is possible. Beyond Time and Space Lanza is an expert in regenerative medicine and scientific director of Advanced Cell Technology Company. Before, he had been known for his extensive research which dealt with stem cells, he was also famous for several successful experiments on cloning endangered animal species. But not so long ago, the scientist became involved with physics, quantum mechanics and astrophysics. Lanza points to the structure of the universe itself, and that the laws, forces, and constants of the universe appear to be fine-tuned for life, implying intelligence existed prior to matter.
Top five regrets of the dying There was no mention of more sex or bungee jumps. A palliative nurse who has counselled the dying in their last days has revealed the most common regrets we have at the end of our lives. And among the top, from men in particular, is 'I wish I hadn't worked so hard'. Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives. She recorded their dying epiphanies in a blog called Inspiration and Chai, which gathered so much attention that she put her observations into a book called The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. Ware writes of the phenomenal clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom. Here are the top five regrets of the dying, as witnessed by Ware: 1. "This was the most common regret of all. 2. "This came from every male patient that I nursed. 3.

The Great Bendigo Stupa Karma country: Buddhist monument the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion, near Bendigo in Victoria, under construction earlier this year. In central Victoria, an enormous Buddhist monument is slowly but surely taking shape. Deep in the ground in a bush clearing in central Victoria lie four ornate metal vases. They were buried in 2003 with great ritual, one on each of the four points of the compass, by a Buddhist monk who first filled them with treasure - gold and silver jewellery, precious stones - medicines, herbs and mantras, or prayers. They were then set in the rocky ground as an offering to local spirits, a request for the success of a remarkable project still taking shape on their land 11 years later. Today those vases lie under the massive footings of the Great Stupa of Universal Compassion, a sacred Buddhist monument which, when finished, will be the largest of its kind anywhere in the Western world. An artist's impression of how the monument will look when finished. Advertisement

The Singularly Most Important Thing After Waking Up By Openhand Contributing Writer for Wake Up World Okay it’s a bold title. Please pardon my lack of humility! Yet I think there is something, that if it’s not the most important thing we can do after waking up, is certainly very high on the list. Just like a movie So maybe you’re in a challenging relationship situation. The outer world is a reflection of the inner. This is of course exactly how the infamous Law of Attraction works. Not as sexy as manifesting your desires? No it’s not as sexy as ‘manifesting your desires’.
