k, i havnt even finished reading this and it's being posted! initial reaction to just reading the start is "oh yeah, cannabis makes us feel really well, and so, that allows our dna to carry out self healing" in fewer words.
This is good info Digit. I was introduced to this concept by watching a movie called "What the bleep do we know?", in that they show images an artist took of water magnified to the extreme. The water had different labels on it corresponding to an emotion. Prior to taking the photo the artist manifested that emotion and took the photo feeling that emotion. The photos were all different. It's pretty intriguing if you think about it. The human body is mostly water.
So here's your protection for whatever comes: Find something to be happy about every day, and every hour if possible, moment-to-moment, even if only for a few minutes. This is the easiest and best protection you can have. If nothing else, be joyous that the criminals have "already been caught" by the Universe! Amen!
I was just gonna say that Shiva. Also the last picture (which the thought was Im so sick of you I want to kill you), the water couldn't hold itself and was basically a blob. I never knew they tried this with DNA, this is very intresting.
great read! VeryInterestingStuff Yes, I have heard of this in many different places, like that ACTUAL PHYSICAL "GUT" ATTRACTION for a woman/guy?,gravity?....can't remember, but ya
Awesome post, digit. I always had a feeling that mindset/feelings/thoughts had a dramatic effect on the body in ways we couldn't explain, but now even that has been accomplished. To think it even goes down to our DNA is pretty amazing, those who always thought there were bound by their genes may have some hope now, or atleast they should. I also get the feeling that people nowadays are heading toward more of a spirtual plane, as to explain why scientists would even try to test these things. Maybe all of our discussions on this forum is bringing change to people in ways never expected. If one person shows interest, then many more are bound to follow. It's like how some say that when we sleep humans return to their source, and this may be where we collect random bits of information that seem our own but somewhere out there, someone is thinking about it. In Waking Life, they have this one bit where they talk about crossword puzzles, and how they studied people's results of tests that were of the puzzle of that day. But when they changed it up to a puzzle that was already released a day before, the results were unexpectedly a lot higher than the average "present day" puzzles. It's true what they say, a man is a universe within himself, and we all share that same universe.
cool to know we're really getting to the point where science and philosophy, religion psychology are becoming one. just justifies what many ppl have believed for thousands of years. hopefully this sort of research will inspire ppl to change their lives for the better. thanks digit, was having a crappy day - now i have my happy thing to focus on!
Is there any proof that this story is real and not some made up BS. Im going with the latter until I get further proof.
I'm pretty interested in this area so I've been digging around for a couple of hours looking into it, and thus far both Gregg Braden and the stories he tells may not be what they seem. I'll let you know what comes out of it. It would be nice for it to be real of course, but... http://energygrid.com/spirit/guide/gregg-braden.html Just have a read and see how literally you think we should take his conclusions regarding any research. I have my doubts. MelT
expectation clearly must apply a great deal of pressure to "perform & deliver" upon those who are in the public eye and have increased their own reputation. personally, i never conclude. not in any absolute sense. it allows for greater, further, and continued research, discovery and exploration where others would stop and come to rest. (nor do i even conclude that i do not conclude. this works almost synonymously with "belief") not always as grand as that may first sound, as often it gives the appearance of gullibility to others when not immediately rejecting ideas that they deem universally worthy of immediate rejection. would such people ever come across the concept that reality is not as "set in stone" as they have beheld it thus far, and that they may behold it in a multitude of differing ways, which would have differing outcomes and results. it is the primary reoccurring theme these days. our focus... angle and aperture...
similar to that video The Secret. The law of attraction, someone above posted about it. Why not think in a postive mindset whenever you can? Negativity doesn't help anything.
First off, it was no artist that made those pictures, it was photographers working for a pseudo-scientist quack (or crackpot as I prefer to call them) named Masaru Emoto. He calles himself a doctor, allthough in reality his doctorate is not recognized by any accredited academic institutions. Secondly the pictures don't prove anything. Much less the claim that "good vibes" makes nice frozen water crystals. The reasons are simple. It was not a double blind experiment, thus there is no objective evidence. It also leads to the fallability of observer bias. Within a drop of (frozen) water there is hundreds if not thousands of ice crystals. It's not difficult to focus on "pretty" crystals in "good vibes" labeled water. About as difficult as it is to focus on seemingly disorganized (and "ugly") crystals in water labeled with "bad vibes". Even when the ratio for each type of crystals is the same in both samples. from Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masaru_Emoto ): Oh, and actual double blind tests done, have not confirmed the effect. Like I've said in a previous thread, the "What the bleep" movie is just new-age nonsense with a very high production value. To the untrained it might seem on the level and very scientific, but the movie get science (and quantum mechanics in particular) seriously wrong. In their misconception (or ignorance) the attempt to wrap their magical woo-woo with fancy scientific words and concepts, is nothing but deceiving their public. More commonly known as outright lying in order to serve some irrational agenda. edit: Oh, and Digit, Gregg Braden is nothing but a fraud, hoax, pseudo scientist newage crackpot. He certainly is no real scientist. He does no double blind experiments, he is not peer reviewed (allthough he writes a lot of scientific sounding newage books), he does not supply sources of information. He even believes that writing out human DNA using hebrew letters, using some mental gymnastics known as numerology (another crackpot concept) coupled with the deranged mysticism of Khabbala (of madonna fame, where amongst others wearing a blessed red string magically protects you from whatever) somehow spells out the name of god and his plans. Quite. Did I mention denying global warming? He even wrote a book called "The Greenhouse Delusion". Tsk. Did I mention he also believes that in 2012, we will all enter the fifth dimension. Another take on the end-of-the-world-in-2012 bullshit that is all so popular these days. Oh, and that crop-circles are somehow mysterious. In short, here is a person who believes in just about everything, except what is considered reasonable and rational.
i think you missed the point of the thread. the test doesnt matter. if people believe the dna bends light or the water crystals reflect vibes, then more power to them, it might brighten their day.
from the tone fo ridicule i put on that while reading, i will hasten to suggest that you have swung to the other extreme, which is just as demoniseable as foolish (or whatever derogatory term one wishes to apply), as those who would switch on the auto-accept belief model, with your auto-deny disbelief model. ? ps, after saying something like that, its (more than) appropriate to point out that i consider zylark one of this forum's most valued members, and thats going on the quality of his content alone.
Well, both of them _are_ making outrageous claims without backing them up by any means. In ordinary discourse this would be called delusional. Or if a profit-angle is present, such as in this case, a liar. And I did do my research before I posted regarding Braden (Emoto I already knew about). Checked out his books at Amazon, googled his name, even watched a video he produced on google video (that's how I got the crop-circle information). In short read up on the subject before I made a statement. Like I always do before I take a position. And no surprises, this man is a total crackpot. He is not a scientist by any stretch of the imagination. He is a believer in just about anything new age, and even worse, he profits from it by writing a lot of nonsense feel-good books, producing a lot of nonsense feel-good videos and doing a lot of nonsense feel-good workshops/seminars. There is a very marked difference between keeping an open mind, and having a gaping hole in ones head. But by all means, if he wants to prove his claims, all he need to do is perform some serious research, and publish in a peer reviewed publication. You know, like scientists do. So no. It was no auto denial from my part. I'm very interested in science, and his claims was interesting. However after applying some critical thought, it became very apparent that all this guy is peddling is good old fashioned bullshit. Have you applied any critical thoughts before posting about this guy Digit? Or did you just accept his claims without any further ado? And if so, why?
yes, but your research is on the man, not to ideas or concepts shared. if you imagine for a moment what he says is true... the meaning, the impact, size of ripples of effect and influence into our models... would it not be worth discovering?
You're dismissing that he's done no peer reviewed research. You are dismissing that he got nothing to back up his claims with. That his credentials is rather lacking, or one dimensional if one wish, may explain why. He's got an agenda to push. But that does not free him of the obligation to provide evidence for his outrageous claims. If I want to dream myself away, I read some good Sci-Fi, I don't take seriously any idea that comes floating by. Not without checking it out first for validity at least.
