The Power of 9,000

Mon, 18 Mar 2013 01:55:59 +0200

To begin, this is going to sound like it comes from left field, but meditation has become a way of building my own internal coherence during the new year…

Within the next year in the heart of India there will occur one of the most coherent spectacular studies of human technology and society for world peace, 9,000 Vedic meditators will be practicing group meditation daily. While exact reach of there impact is not known, the is expected to be impact will statistically measurable within double digit percentages. All previous studies regarding group meditation have shown its ability to transform not only random occurrences but also drastically reduce violence and disaster. Transformative group meditation is proving to be the greatest tool that humans have to change the world around us. Why 9,000? 9,000 is the square root of the global population and because of the advance nature of the practitioners the expect to be able to amplify there impact exponential. Meditation increase synchronization very much like how particles act in waves not doubling but becoming squared when aligned.

This exciting experiment and much more can be found at the globalpeaceproject.net.

Hubble Ultra Deep Field

The Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) is an image of a small region of space in the constellation Fornax, composited from Hubble Space Telescope data accumulated over a period from September 24, 2003, through to January 16, 2004. Looking back approximately 13 billion years (between 400 and 800 million years after the Big Bang) it will be used to search for galaxies that existed at that time. The HUDF image was taken in a section of the sky with a low density of bright stars in the near-field, allowing much better viewing of dimmer, more distant objects. The image contains an estimated 10,000 galaxies. In August and September 2009, the Hubble’s Deep Field was expanded using the infrared channel of the recently attached Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). When combined with existing HUDF data, astronomers were able to identify a new list of potentially very distant galaxiesrong>

Naked yoga has become a big hit for men in Edmonton, Canada. The class instructors at Shanti Yoga Studios’ men-only classes are encouraging men to lose their clothes for a more psychologically fulfilling experience than traditional yoga. “For some it’s about naturalism and just being nude, and…

“Threading the palm, a web of tiny lines
Spells out the lost money, the heart, the head,
The wagging tongues, the sudden deaths, in signs
We would smooth out like imprints on a bed,

In signs that can’t be helped, geese heading south,
In signs read anxiously, like breath that clouds
A mirror held to a barely open mouth,
Like telegrams, the gathering of crowds—

The plane, an X in the sky spelling disaster:
Before the whistle and hit, a tracer flare;
Before rubble, a hairline crack in plaster
And a housefly’s panicked scribbling on the air.”

- Gjertrud Schnackenberg, “Signs” (via proustitute)

“Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that’s what makes it so boring.”
