Jan. 31, 2002 by Seth Shostak – Senior Astronomer What does it mean to be intelligent? I get this question a lot, given the fact that “intelligence” is the last word of the SETI acronym. “Is there intelligence on Earth?” wags will ask (and by so doing, make their query relevant). What defines a species as intelligent, and how do SETI researchers decide? SETI folk are mostly interested in alien intelligence, not the brainpower of the local school kids. But investigating terrestrial IQs may help us estimate how often sentient beings evolve elsewhere. To test human intelligence is straightforward, if controversial. But how can we assess the brainpower of other critters? One approach taken by biologists is to compute an “encephalization quotient,” which is […] Read More

Posted on Wednesday, 5 October, 2011 Columnist: Brendan D. Murphy The placebo effect and mind-body connection are well-documented phenomena and well known in the public arena today. What isn?t so well known, however, is that since the 1990s, a genuine scientific framework for understanding the power of suggestion, intention and belief has been developing. In the 1990s, a team of Russian linguists lead by Dr. Peter Gariaev discovered that the genetic code in ‘junk’ (or ‘potential’) DNA—which accounts for a whopping 97-8% of our overall genome—follows uniform grammar and usage rules virtually identical to those of human language. It turns out that the ‘junk’ was laden with the intimations of intelligence, purpose and meaning. This ground-breaking research followed J. Delrow’s discovery in 1990 that the […] Read More
Transmitted from Folsom Prison by Dr. Timothy Leary “Kohoutek will have a pale blue and yellow tail stretching out for somewhere between 75,000,000 and 100,000,000 miles — the yellow portions of it in the shape of a scimitar. It will first be seen by the naked eye in mid-November and will look dull. But since it will be approaching the Sun at 250,000,000 miles an hour, it will brighten and from mid-December to Dec. 28 the peoples of the world will have the finest Christmas star ever.” How about that, Chump? Do you still believe everything out there “just happened by accident.” —From a “memo to a friend who is an atheist” in Bob Considine‘s September 16 column in the San FranciscoExaminer & […] Read More
– by Phillip D. Collins ©, Feb. 15th, 2005 Comenius addressed the first formal scientists as “illuminati” and outlined their scientific purpose, “…which is to secure…the empire of the human mind over matter.” In the article entitled “The Ascendancy of the Scientific Dictatorship”, we examined the transmogrification of the elite’s religious power structure into a technocratic oligarchy legitimized predominantly by science. The history and background of this “scientific dictatorship” is a conspiracy, created and micro-managed by the historical tide of Darwinism, which has its foundations in Freemasonry. In this article, we shall examine the “scientific dictatorship” as an enormous project in the re-sculpting of reality itself. The Technocracy Freemason Aldous Huxley coined the term “scientific dictatorship” and presented an allegorized version of the concept […] Read More

by Stanislav Grof Noetic Sciences Review, Winter 1994, pages 21-29 From a talk given at the Institute of Noetic Sciences conference “The Sacred Source: Life, Death, and the Survival of Consciousness”, Chicago, Illinois, July 15-17, 1994. Editor’s Note: In Western societies, the dominant paradigm presents a cosmology in which humans, as biological matter, live and die in a universe governed by the laws of physics. In this worldview, there is no room for the possibility of life after death, and different states of consciousness have significance only as pathological deviations from that worldview. In sharp contrast, the cosmologies of other cultures, ancient and contemporary pre-industrial, have taken for granted the existence of an afterlife. For them, dying is a meaningful part of life, and death […] Read More
The world is changing very fast and whatever questions you might have – most of your answers are on these pages! However, to completely understand what is happening to Humanity might take longer than a few days. It might even take a few weeks or months! It depends on your present level of awareness… If you would like to know most of the answers to what is happening, I suggest that you read all my Articles, Statements, OldSoulNotes, Cosmic Cookies and Poems. Start at the beginning again until everything becomes crystal clear. You will find an explanation for whatever is puzzling you. It took me almost thirty years to write what you will find on these pages. Be patient with yourself…Our World is a […] Read More
By John Zerzan Anarchy: a journal of desire armed. #39, Winter ’94. The dimension of time seems to be attracting great notice, to judge from the number of recent movies that focus on it, such as Back to the Future, Terminator, Peggy Sue Got Married, etc. Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time (1989) was a best-seller and became, even more surprisingly, a popular film. Remarkable, in addition to the number of books that deal with time, are the larger number which don’t, really, but which feature the word in their titles nonetheless, such as Virginia Spate’s The Color of Time: Claude Monet (1992). Such references have to do, albeit indirectly, with the sudden, panicky awareness of time, the frightening sense of our being tied to it. Time is increasingly […] Read More
from Exo-Psychology by Dr. Timothy Leary Ph.D Exo-psychology suggests that there are as many realities as there are neuro-anatomical structures for transceiving signals. As the seven neuro-anatomical circuits unfold, so do seven broad classes of reality¹. 1. The First Reality, Bio-cellular, is the imprinted-conditioned world of the infant perpetuated in the viscerotonic survival techniques of the adult. 2. The Second Reality, Locomotor-muscular, is the imprinted-conditioned world of the crawling, brawling, walking child perpetuated in the emotional-political techniques of the adult. 3. The Third Reality, mediated by the left cortex, is the imprinted-conditioned world of the child learning to manipulate langyral-manual symbols and perpetuated in the linguistic-technology of the adult. 4. The Fourth Reality is the imprinted-conditioned world of social-sexual, domestic responsibility. 5. The Fifth Reality, Body Consciousness is the reception by the body of […] Read More
From Robert Anton Wilson‘s Cosmic Trigger: Final Secret of the Illuminati Tunnel-Realities and Imprints Let’s try Dr. Leary’s perspective on these mysteries. To understand neurological space, Dr. Leary assumes that the nervous system consists of eight potential circuits, or “gears,” or mini-brains. Four of these brains are in the usually active left lobe and are concerned with our terrestrial survival; four are extraterrestrial, reside in the “silent” or inactive right lobe, and are for use in our future evolution. This explains why the right lobe is usually inactive at this stage of our development, and why it becomes active when the person ingests psychedelics. We will explain each of the eight “brains” briefly. I. THE BIO-SURVIVAL CIRCUIT This invertebrate brain was the first to […] Read More
