Researchers say the anger, resentment and blame people hold on to, often for years, accounts for a lot of today‘s health problems, and learning how to forgive could prove to be curative and preventative.
„Forgiving and releasing old hurts from your system is like taking a mental and emotional bath,“ said HeartMath founder Doc Childre. „Notice how people bathe their bodies on a regular basis, yet they will store negative, toxic junk in their mental and emotional natures for years without a cleanup.“
Negative emotions such as anger, resentment and blame can cause stress to build up in the body, and where there is excessive stress, there is the potential for all sorts of physical, mental and emotional problems. Most notably, elevated stress levels can impair the body‘s immune system, putting you at risk for heart disease, chronic pain, and depression among many other debilitating conditions.

Soft driven, slow and mad like some new language. Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger.

Knowing what we call reality is a holographic expression of infinite consciousness playing „and knowing you are That consciousness „here are some words about words,
just for fun:
English language demands duality to exist.
English is a language built on a foundation of opposition. This can result in unique mental dysfunction for native English speakers. [I know whereof I speak.] First among them is our profound fixation on judgement. Everything is black and white in a mind that thinks constantly in polarized English words. As a culture, we are close to losing the capacity for subtlety.
In reality, opposites are complementary. This nondual vision is known to the East and to some extent in Western culture. Yet, its simplicity is often its cause for dismissal by minds desiring complication. Not to fault the mind; the mind‘s job is to measure and to divide input into little bits it “thinks“ it understands. However, it does further to put the tool down when not in use. Human thought is not the speed limit of consciousness we think.
As simple as it sounds, a one-liter plastic bottle filled with purified water and some bleach could serve as a light bulb for some of the millions of people who live without electricity. Originally developed by MIT students, the „solar bottle bulb“ is now being distributed by the MyShelter Foundation to homes throughout the Philippines. The foundation‘s goal is to use this alternative source of daylight to brighten one million homes in the country by 2012.
Brian Swimme on Emptiness and the Quantum Vacuum
by Joel Pitney (German translation below)
In the production of every issue of EnlightenNext, there are difficult moments when the editor‘s job calls for some hard decisions. Whether due to space constraints, subject matter, or other factors, inevitably there are some fascinating dialogues that we are unfortunately unable to present in the pages of the magazine. The following excerpt was taken from an interview conducted for Issue 19 of EnlightenNext. This dialogue with Brian Swimme, visionary cosmologist and Core Faculty member for the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at theCalifornia Institute of Integral Studies, is a mind-expanding exploration of the mysteries at the interface of quantum physicsand spirituality.
EnlightenNext: Many of the greatest spiritual realizers have made a distinction between two dimensions of existence. One is the dimension of becoming. It is the dimension of the manifest world, of time, space, movement, and change. The whole movement of evolution could be said to occur within the dimension of becoming. The other dimension is usually called Being, with a capital “B.“ It is often described as emptiness, the unmanifest, the transcendent nature and Absolute ground of all that is. It is beyond time, change, and form. You often speak movingly about evolution and the creative effulgence of becoming, but I‘d like to ask you about the significance of Being“”which seems to be much less apparent in your work“”and its relationship, if any, to evolution.
