Meditation seems to improve our empathy for strangers A surprisingly simple gaze-based meditation helps strangers feel deeply connected https://www.psypost.org/a-surprisingly-simple-gaze-based-meditation-helps-strangers-feel-deeply-connected/#:~:text=A%20brief%20meditative%20practice%20that,new%20research%20published%20in%20Mindfulness. A brief meditative practice that involves gazing at another person while silently contemplating shared human experiences can increase feelings of closeness and prosocial behavior—even between strangers, according to new research published in Mindfulness. The study found that a two-minute exercise known as the “Just-Like-Me” meditation not only boosted perceived warmth and connection but also synchronized participants’ smiles and heart rates, suggesting that subtle forms of emotional alignment may help explain the practice’s interpersonal effects. The study was led by Vera U. Ludwig and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania and other institut...

Great article. I always talk with cashiers and servers... People who always make small talk with cashiers and servers usually have these 5 traits, according to psychology There's something beautifully simple about acknowledging the humans who help us navigate our days. https://vegoutmag.com/lifestyle/m-people-who-always-make-small-talk-with-cashiers-and-servers-usually-have-these-5-traits-according-to-psychology/ Last week, I was sitting in my local café, wrestling with a stubborn case of writer's block, when I started people-watching instead of staring at my blank screen. That's when I noticed something interesting. Some customers would breeze through their coffee orders with barely a word – a quick "large flat white" and they're scrolling their phones, avoiding eye contact. But others? They'd ask the barista how their day was going, comment on the weather, or crack a joke about needing their caffeine fix. It got me thinking: what separates the chatters ...
From the book SAINT GERMAIN ON ALCHEMY Formulas for Self-Transformation recorded by Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet Another development of the coming age will be a camera so sensitized that it will make possible the photographing of the human aura. This will enable physicians to discover the fundamental causes of many physical diseases as well as the solution to psychiatric problems related to the emotions and subconscious records of past experiences, even in previous lives unknown to the patients themselves. The wave patterns caused by criminal tendencies and crimes recorded in the etheric body will also be "photographed," or recorded by sensitive instruments in graphic form similar to the process now used to record brain waves and impulses of the nervous system. Evidence of guilt or innocence will thereby be afforded those administrators of justice who formerly relied on incomplete knowledge of events in the penalizing of delinquent individuals. * F...
Human connection to nature has declined 60% in 200 years, study finds Prof Miles Richardson says people risk ‘extinction of experience’ in the natural world without new policies https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/09/human-connection-to-nature-has-declined-60-in-200-years-study-finds People’s connection to nature has declined by more than 60% since 1800, almost exactly mirroring the disappearance of nature words such as river, moss and blossom from books, according to a study. Computer modelling predicts that levels of nature connectedness will continue to decline unless there are far-reaching policy and societal changes – with introducing children to nature at a young age and radically greening urban environments the most effective interventions. The modelling predicts an ongoing “extinction of experience” with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass o...
Saint Germain Light Codes Saint Germain ascended master light codes are energetic "programs" or frequencies associated with the ascended master Saint Germain, which are believed to activate latent crystalline DNA within individuals, promoting spiritual awakening and transformation. These light codes are often connected to the Violet Flame, a purifying energy Saint Germain is said to have brought to Earth, and are invoked through meditations, invocations, and the use of related crystals like amethyst to help release negative energies and foster a higher spiritual consciousness. What Are Saint Germain Light Codes? Energetic Frequencies: The light codes are described as frequencies or "tapestries" of crystalline coded genes that are part of your biological DNA, but often dormant. Activation and Awakening: By connecting with Saint Germain's energy, these codes are said to come to life, activating dormant divine qualities and liberating a higher, more Christ-like...
Valo tulee Pohjolasta ryhmäläiset ovat taas kerran suoranaisella pelleilyllä saattaneet itsensä häpeään: Ryhmässä Vastuulliset henkiset palvelut: Missy Mallorca kirjoitti · Valo tulee Pohjolasta messut järjestetään 13.9 Mietoisten maamiesseurantalolls uudelleen!

THIS Self cannot be attained by study of the Scriptures, nor by intellectual perception, nor by frequent hearing (of It); He whom the Self chooses, by him alone is It attained. To him the Self reveals Its true nature. We may imagine that by much study we can find out God; but merely hearing about a thing and gaining an intellectual comprehension of it does not mean attaining true knowledge of it. Knowledge only comes through direct perception, and direct perception of God is possible for those alone who are pure in heart and spiritually awakened. Although He is alike to all beings and His mercy is on all, yet the impure and worldy-minded do not get the blessing, because they do not know how to open their hearts to it. He who longs for God, him the Lord chooses; because to him alone can He reveal His true nature. ~ Katha Upanishad
Out of body experiences This scientific article claims that Out of body experiences are some kind of mental illness or trauma. Don't believe these "science" non-sense. Read what Blavatsky has said. Out-of-body experiences linked to higher rates of mental health symptoms and trauma, study finds https://www.psypost.org/out-of-body-experiences-linked-to-higher-rates-of-mental-health-symptoms-and-trauma-study-finds/ * Helena Blavatsky valued the idea of the out-of-body experience, or astral projection, as a highly valuable goal and the "apex of magic" within her Theosophical framework. She viewed it as the separation of the "astral body"—a spiritual component of the human constitution—from the physical body before death, allowing the individual to travel through space and time. This intentional, temporary excursion of the soul was a central concept for her, contributing to her complex theories on the human body, the universe, and spiritual liberation. Bl...
"Stargazing for your Health" -- CVAS Astronomy Update May 2025. Image credit: Kira Gilbertson It turns out that stargazing is literally good for your health. Most people enjoy gazing up at a star-filled sky, often feeling better afterward without quite knowing why. Now, science is catching up to what we've felt all along: spending time under the night sky can boost physical and mental health. Being “in nature” has health benefits. For example researchers have found that walking through green spaces boosts immune system white blood cell levels more than walking alongside city buildings. Nature really does change us, right down to the cellular level. And it makes sense that “nature” extends to the starry night sky. Indeed, research published last year in the Journal of Environmental Psychology indicated that the more someone felt connected to the night sky,...
A couple of days ago I went to the New World in a dream state with the Star People where you can be at peace and safe.... * There’s a split in the timelines... and we’re living through it. It’s something many have talked about for years... a moment when the Earth would start to divide vibrationally. One path keeps looping through fear, distraction, and karma. The other path is about presence, creation, and truth. That split is happening now. You’ll see the chaos get louder. More drama. More division. More noise trying to pull you in. But that’s not your job to fix. Your job is to keep building. Keep showing up. Keep remembering why you came. You didn’t come here to save the old world… You came to create the new one. So stay focused. Protect your energy. And above all... stick to your mission.
Sound of Black Hole Black Holes Are Singing – Scientists Finally Know the Lyrics Researchers at Kyoto University used the exact WKB method to uncover the hidden “ringing” of black holes. https://dailygalaxy.com/2025/08/black-holes-singing-scientists-know-lyrics/ Unlocking the Hidden Symphony of Black Holes Black holes are often portrayed as silent cosmic voids, but this research shows they are far from mute. When disturbed—such as during a merger—black holes emit a distinctive “ringing” pattern, like a celestial bell struck by an unseen hammer. These quasinormal modes ripple through space-time, generating gravitational waves detectable from Earth. For decades, the challenge has been decoding the faintest of these vibrations, especially those that fade quickly. Traditional methods often failed to capture their full complexity, leaving gaps in our understanding. By applying the exact WKB analysis, the Kyoto University research team mapped the intricate behavior of these waves, uncov...
Intergalactic Buddha: if Buddha was an alien from another planet, galaxy or dimension — or alternate reality — what would he be like? Compassionate and wise, regardless of illusory appearances. https://buddhaweekly.com/intergalactic-buddha-if-buddha-was-an-alien-from-another-planet-galaxy-or-dimension-or-alternate-reality-what-would-he-be-like-compassionate-and-wise-regardless-of-illusory-app/ In the Lotus Sutra (chapter 25) Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva can take any shape, personality or manifestation — whatever is most suited to the beings to be helped. In the Flower Garland Sutra, Buddha teaches that there are unlimited universes, dimensions, and realities — and a Buddha in each one of them. If we let our imagination run wild — what would a Buddha in an alien world or dimension be like? We know one thing — s/he’d use skillful means, s/he wouldn’t necessarily be a “he” and whatever the manifestation, s/he’d be compassionate and wise. So, if Buddha was an alien, what would that mea...
Old news but interesting... The UFO seekers flocking to a remote Thai hilltop in search of Buddhist aliens https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/thailand-ufo-buddhist-aliens Nakhon Sawan CNN — A hilltop in central Thailand is attracting UFO seekers who believe extraterrestrials hover above a huge Buddha statue, send telepathic communiques, walk across nearby sugarcane fields and use a crocodile-infested lake as a portal from their planets – Pluto and Loku. Though it may sound like science fiction, a small group of individuals claims messages from aliens arriving in spaceships include plenty of traditional religious teachings too – leading them to believe they are actually Buddhist. It’s all happening three hours by road or rail north from Bangkok in Nakhon Sawan – which translates to “City of Heaven.” Without all the UFO hype, it’s just a laid-back small town. But followers believe that if you meditate on Khao Kala hill, outside of Nakhon Sawan, you could hear the tal...
Long before the discovery of DNA and the double helix by Watson and Crick in the 1950s, ancient civilizations appeared to recognize and depict similar spiral forms in their art and symbolism. Carvings that resemble the double helix have been found in ancient sites, including Sumerian pictographs and 7,000-year-old stone artifacts shaped like eggs long associated with life and fertility. These symbols, often hidden in religious or cosmological contexts, suggest a mysterious awareness of life’s fundamental patterns. One of the most intriguing examples comes from ancient Mesopotamia, where Sumerian depictions feature intertwined serpents or spiraling lines flanking symbolic figures. In various cultures, the spiral has been interpreted as a symbol of energy, life force, or cosmic order. Though these cultures could not have known the biological function of DNA, their visual language implies a deep connection to nature’s repeating patterns possibly observed in plants, animals, or the n...
