Times, They are a changing! by Layle Stephen-Anderson

Times, they are a changing!

 2010 - 2012 is a major time of change. Many people are not aware that this change will affect everyone. We are all intrinsically linked. This change is about awareness to the vibration and frequency here on earth, and how we work with this in our daily lives.  Have you noticed how life seems to have speeded up and communications are better and more efficient? Science has helped, but also this has been helped by the energy changes. (eg Internet technologies.)

Frame Drum Practices: Rediscovering Feminine Consciousness by Ianthi Sparsis of MA GAIA

In the beginning, the drummers were women. From Egypt to the Indus River Valley, from Cyprus and Crete to Greece and Rome, priestesses and worshipping women used the frame drum to celebrate their goddesses as the endlessly rhythmic energy of life. Priestesses of Inanna, Isis and Hathor, Istar, Astarte, Aprhodite, Rhea, Artemis, Demeter and Cybele… rhythmically beat their frame drums to connect humanity’s heartbeat to the rhythm of the cosmos, celebrating the miracle of creation in sacred rituals. It was a time when the earth itself was revered as the Great Mother of All That Is and all that was, pulsated in unison. It was a time when women were in harmony with themselves, when their bodies were considered a microcosmic reflection of the profound energies of the earth and heavens. Read More…

Dieting - it’s bad for you by Karen Harris- Wakenshaw

Health and fitness, diet and exercise, they go together like fish and chips, and sponge and custard. Unfortunate metaphors they may be, but we all know by now, food and health are inextricably linked. To keep ourselves healthy, we should restrict our calorie intake, eat the ‘right’ foods and keep fit with exercise. Read More…

Excerpt from Chapter seven of Book ‘BEYOND SCIENCE’ on first and second-hand knowledge by Robert Priddy

ON FIRST- & SECOND-HAND KNOWLEDGE

What is the surest safeguard against falling under the sway of wrong theories, false doctrines or of being taken in by persuasive politicians, demagogues and religious, ideological, techno-scientific or other fanatics? Philosophers through the centuries, when faced with a confusion of knowledge systems and competing theories, have tried to start afresh from their own personal intuition. Socrates, Augustine, Descartes, Locke and Husserl provide some well-known examples. All of these most influential thinkers’ writings are based on and describe methods of some kind of contemplation by which they derived insight at first-hand. Read More…

Dreams as Spiritual Guidance by Judith Bourque

Many of us take our dreams for granted, not realizing that the dream state is actually an expanded state of consciousness. Due to the fact that the ego lets go of a lot of the control it normally exercises during the day, we become more open to healing forces that help us to regain balance mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually as we dream.

Excerpt from Chapter seven of the book ‘BEYOND SCIENCE’ :Truth as value by Robert Priddy

TRUTH AS A VALUE

By ever insisting on the distinction between what is ‘true’ and what is ‘right’, modern thought and language have in effect divorced the two, reducing the idea of truth to a question of fact, thereby eliminating questions of value and goodness from the pursuit of truth. This arbitrary and categorical view of truth easily engenders attitudes of disinterest or supposed ‘ethical neutrality’, which easily degenerates into ethical irresponsibility and the service of destructive masters, both in business and politics. Academic philosophy and science mainly regard truth as a conceptual standard for deciding what is factual. There is a clear distinction between fact and truth. A fact is true, but truth is not just factuality, but a supra-factual standard. A fact can be observed by aid of one or more of the five senses, then described and recorded, while many facts can be summarised in generalisations or in the shorthand form we call scientific theory. However well-founded in observation and reason, no factual or theoretical statements - however accurate, however precise - can capture the essential and final truth of any matter. Read More…

Excerpt from Chapter seven of the book ‘BEYOND SCIENCE’ False Doctrine, objective understanding and consensus by Robert Priddy

FALSE DOCTRINE, OBJECTIVE UNDERSTANDING AND CONSENSUS

Everyone is subject to some network of thought and emotion, some personal variant of one or more systems of ideas, assumption, beliefs and ideals. These systems have been more or less crystallised into doctrines, operating at various levels of life and for any number of purposes. Where the major questions of life are concerned - the most vital and determining judgements and decisions - the question therefore arises; is it better awarely to study and develop a doctrine to test it through practice than to leave everything more or less to circumstance or chance?
