| The Neural Buddhists

In unexpected ways, science and mysticism are joining hands and
reinforcing each other. That’s bound to lead to new movements that
emphasize self-transcendence but put little stock in divine law or
revelation. Orthodox believers are going to have to defend particular
doctrines and particular biblical teachings. They’re going to have to
defend the idea of a personal God, and explain why specific theologies
are true guides for behavior day to day. I’m not qualified to take
sides, believe me. I’m just trying to anticipate which way the debate
is headed. We’re in the middle of a scientific revolution. It’s going
to have big cultural effects.

| The Emergence of 'The Higher We'
|
|

There are two discussions I wanted to be sure all of you had a chance
to listen to. Both conversations revolve around an emerging topic
called "The Higher We". Coined by Andrew Cohen, the term "The Higher
We" refers to what Cohen believes (and I agree) is the next stage of
our individual and collective development. It is "an experience of
shared consciousness that emerges when people come together beyond ego
and narcissism, and points to a radically new way to live and relate to
one another".

Here's another "neuropsychiatric disorder" to add to the growing list

| TED: The Brain Scientist Who Had A Stroke
|
|
| posted on Thursday, March 13, 2008

I just finished posting a VERY interesting video on two of NHNE's
websites. The TED folks, who just released it, had this to say about it: "Take
18 minutes to watch this astonishing talk from Harvard-trained brain
scientist Jill Bolte Taylor. It drew a huge standing ovation in the
first session of the conference and, by general consensus, counts as
one of the most memorable TED talks of all time."

| Eckhart Tolle & Oprah Break New Ground On The Net
|

I invite you to join Oprah and myself in our weekly online sessions. We
will be studying A New Earth, but not as an academic subject or in
order to acquire new theories or beliefs. Our aim is to explore through
the teachings of the book the most important question you can ask: What
is the purpose of my life and how do I fulfill that purpose? It will be
a course in self-exploration and awakening. It will help you see what
the dysfunctional patterns are within yourself that create unnecessary
conflict and suffering and prevent you from finding true fulfillment.
Hopefully, it will also help you access a dimension within yourself
that perhaps you didn't know existed or only caught glimpses of on rare
occasions. Don't be trapped for the rest of your life within the narrow
confines of your personal history and your conditioned personality and
allow your life to be transformed from within, through the power of
consciousness itself.

| Was Moses High On Hallucinogens When He Saw God?

The Bible tells us that when the Children of Israel left Egypt, they
had a 40-year trip through the desert before reaching the Promised
Land. Now a leading Israeli academic has a new theory about exactly
what kind of trip it was. In the philosophy journal Time and Mind, Benny Shanon states that key
events of the Old Testament are actually records of visions by ancient
Israelites high on hallucinogens. Shanon is a professor at Jerusalem's
Hebrew University, where he used to head the psychology department.

| The History Channel: Presidential Prophecies
|
|

It's a little-known, but fascinating aspect of the Presidency.
Throughout history, numerous US Presidents have claimed to prophesy
through visions. In 1778, George Washington claimed that an apparition
of a woman appeared to him one evening and foretold the birth,
progress, and future of the America. While in office, both Woodrow
Wilson and Ronald Reagan consulted psychics who predicted their deaths.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt consulted a psychic in the last years of his
Presidency about post-WWII world relations. Perhaps the most well-known
Presidential prophecies concern Abraham Lincoln, who participated in
séances and experienced visions -- including an incident that predicted
his assassination. Join us for a Presidential peek at the past.

| Ritual Of Dealing With Demons Undergoes Revival

The Rev. Andrzej Trojanowski, a soft-spoken Pole, plans to build a
"spiritual oasis" that will serve as Europe's only center dedicated to
performing exorcisms. With the blessing of the local Catholic
archbishop and theological support from the Vatican, the center will
aid a growing number of Poles possessed by evil forces or the devil
himself, he said.
