Yup, there sure is a lot of highly intriguing stuff listed over there.
Left-brain delicatessen for those of the 'trippier' persuation ;-))
And the author does a pretty nice job I find in presenting well structured arguments that can put a spin to even the most skeptic of minds. Often, history goes by unnoticed except by a few of the more observant amongst the audience at that part of the grand play. And sometimes, by just one of our memebers. Is anyone listening? Watching? Who's paying attention? General consensus 'reality', also often, strikes back with the cruel joke of mass ridicule, dismissal by fact of minority, superiority through numbers; anti-singular thought formation.
I see life as a test. This is a test, and the test is reality. So in a sense, THIS is NOT a test... Consider it a game. "To Tell The Truth". What is "real", and what is not? You tell me... No really, YOU TELL ME. We all get put in "the minority spot" at one point. A 15 minutes of fame of another order. The trick to staying in the game is to keep your head cool, and to not loose yourself in it; to go insane or to revert to a vegetable. The idea I think is to keep moving forward, always, and the only true way I know to achieve this is by keeping your head "open", and your feet firmly on the ground (well, for most part at least). And by open I mean allowing things to come to you freely. Things come disguised in all forms. This is part of the basic game play design from what I understand. Everything is a variety on the concept; a variety of a variety; different degrees of complexity. Some within the scientific community (*not all*) fall prey to sort of a paradoxical meme trap; a self perpetuated and exponentially expanding blind spot which feeds itself on that which it takes away from the initial (scientist's) whole intent. I can elaborate for days on this specifically, and that being said just notice that I'm well on my way to writing another essay. Ummm, I really really truly wanna try to behave myself... Eh, yeah, well, okay, quickly in a nutshell then. If you go into science with the idea that you can cheat life, you're doomed. And science will NEVER catch up with 'it' either, as 'it' is life itself which projects it (science) into existence, from itself within itself and for itself, together with everything else. Only the sum of everything that IS equals the source. To be equal to the source is to be the source; game over. The perfect logic of nature; the math of the universe; fractal evolution; forever forward into infinity. One may become master of one's own reality game, but one can never extend oneself beyond it. For as long as you're in 'it', you play the part, and THE PART defines the play. As your character develops, so does everything else. You are allready the sum of your parts and everything that will ever be, but your PART is to BE HERE NOW, in this form. It is always the play which defines you and all that you are and will be, now and forever to come. Your ability to track the running riddle through keen observation to places lesser traveled will bring you much wonder; the fodder of your critically 'opened' mind. The answers are all out there, as well as within. The test remains here, now, inside. The game serves only to reflect the journey, to report to us 24/7 on the conquest of our inner territory. You created this; the game, the character, the play, all of the rules... Play hard, play fair. Play the part right and keep your momentum going. Reality is but a construct in need of constant tinkering, for the sake of curiosity and in the name of endless wonder.
OK I'm done, for now, with this part at least... heh heh.
Still with me?
Then this where you get something for patiently reading through my rant.
~ cyber-transcendentalism ~
While wondering around a bit the other day, I stumbled upon a lovely combination of pure intent, technology and art in a moment of cyber-synchronism. Things really flowed in a totally unexpected manner...
This is an experiment.
Are you game?
Well then, connect a pair of quality headphones to your computer. Set the general audio to a relatively low yet sufficiently communicative level. This is to make sure that the first of two audio sources, which will stream directly through your browser as the soundtrack to a flash animation, will not over power the second streaming mp3 audio source.
Now launch your preferred Internet audio streaming application and please set its audio levels to a comfortable but higher level than the first audio source (which you set earlier through your system software sound application). Now that I've got you up and running on the tech side, here's how to get to 'the source'... The first source will be a constant in this experiment; it is an ambient/ethnic flute track to the flash animation you're about to see. The second source is determined by you; the random factor. By the way, if you're not quite set up for streaming audio, you can pick a relaxing/trance inducing track you dig on whatever alternate medium as a substitute as well, as long as you can listen to both audio sources at the same time however. This option does reduce the random factor considerably, but not completely. If you're on a slower connection, the animation is actually fairly light. A DSL or cable connection is still preferred and will make a difference in terms of critical quality considerations. Anyways, I'm going to list three streaming Internet radio sources now for your consideration in picking the soundtrack to this little experiment. Please browse them all now and determine whichever one vibes with you best for this. Hopefully you'll pick "right" just like I did, and you are about to be inspired by something wonderful...
Please consider one of the following three streams:

X T C . R A D I O . L O N D O N
pri.kts-af.net/redir/index.pls
PROTON Radio

FINAL STEP!
If you think you've found your groove, GO AHEAD NOW. Get 'impressed'.

Re: of matriculation of mind and matter :-)
Tue, December 14, 2004 - 1:43 AMyou've found the key dimi3 !
excellence, pure excellence
btw, this can probably actually be researched,
through heart-rate variability measurements,
before and after
what I think is the connectivity here ( on shaky grounds, admittedly,since I'm jumping ahead of the research findings )
is the ongoing spin/counterspin in the heart chakra,
and its "ghost" spin/counterspin "image" in the mirrored
activity in the crown/brow chakras
if finetuned towards finding the optimal standing wave,
as per dimi3's excellent advice, you would experience
a slight hum, barely perceptible, coming from your chest region,
and with practice, spreading out towards your shoulders,
as it (re)connects with ancient crystallized engrams
crystals to help align heart, brow and crown chakra is good to use in conjunction as well, and a particularly good grounding stone to use here, is Pietersite
depending on the invididual shape, health and activity of the thymus, the ensuing (re)alignment process could be different
( be prepared to consult a holistic practitioner if wanting to pursue a sustained practice )
for instance www.heartmath.com
there is mention of this in sanskrit texts as well
Mantrika-shakti, or Matrika-shakti ( sp? )
further experimentation could also be done, to arrive at optimal db difference of the channels, to induce the optimal standing wave,
as intuitive guidance tells me, there is three levels of difference,
one for activation of the experience of the standing wave,
one diff for alignment with etheric and emotional bodies,
and a third diff for grounding it with the crystallized original patterns as encapsulated in the bones of the physical body
( it was much more, this was what I managed to translate into English :-) ) -

Scientists To Make Mouse With Human Brain
By James Langton in New York
The Telegraph - UK
3-6-5
It will look like any ordinary mouse, but for America's scientists a
tiny
animal threatens to ignite a profound ethical dilemma.
In one of the most controversial scientific projects ever conceived, a
group
of university researchers in California's Silicon Valley is preparing
to
create a mouse whose brain will be composed entirely of human cells.
Researchers at Stanford University have already succeeded in breeding
mice
with brains that are one per cent human cells.
In the next stage they plan to use stem cells from aborted foetuses to
create an animal whose brain cells are 100 per cent human.
Prof Irving Weissman, who heads the university's Institute of
Cancer/Stem
Cell Biology, believes that the mice could produce a breakthrough in
understanding how stem cells might lead to a cure for diseases such as
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
The group is waiting for a key American government-sponsored report,
due
this month, that will decide just how much science can blur the
distinction
between man and beast.
Last week, however, the university's ethics committee approved the
research,
under certain conditions. Prof Henry Greely, the head of the committee,
said: "If the mouse shows human-like behaviours, like improved memory
or
problem-solving, it's time to stop."
He accepted that the project might seem "a little creepy", but
insisted:
"It's not going to get up and say 'Hi, I'm Mickey'. Our brains are far
more
complicated."
Biologists know such creatures as "chimeras", after the mythical Greek
monster that was part-lion, part-goat and part-serpent.
Prof Weissman said that there was no way of knowing whether the
"human-mice"
would develop any human characteristics until after they were born. In
previous experiments, pigs with human blood have been developed at a
clinic
in Minnesota. Last year, the University of Nevada produced sheep whose
livers were 80 per cent human and could one day be used for
transplants.
An inquiry into laying down rules for research using stem cells from
human
embryos was launched last summer by America's National Academies of
Science.
The government-sponsored report, said to be in draft form, will govern
stem
cell research in the private sector. It comes at a time of growing
confusion
in America over the limits of stem cell research.
President George W Bush halted government-funded research during his
first
term of office but several states, including California, have since
passed
laws that allow support for stem cell projects from local taxes.
At hearings in Washington last October, Prof Weissman argued strongly
against a ban on "chimera mice". He believes that the mice would behave
like
any others, but said that he would monitor the experiment closely and
destroy them at the slightest suggestion of human-like brain patterns.
Supporters of stem cell research at Stanford University include the
actor
Michael J Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease. Fox provided the
voice
for Stuart Little, Hollywood's version of the "human mouse'', who
talks, has
human parents and lives in a New York apartment.
Opponents of Prof Weissman's work accept that his mice are unlikely to
show
such obvious human traits, but voice concerns that the brain cells
would
begin to organise themselves in a way that was more human than mouse.
There
is growing unease over whether human stem cells could migrate to other
parts
of the animals, creating human sperm or eggs in their reproductive
systems.
Should two such "chimera mice" mate, it could lead to the nightmarish
scenario of a human embryo trapped in a mouse's womb. William Cheshire,
a
neurology professor from the Mayo Clinic in Florida and a Christian
activist, has called for a ban on any research that destroys a human
embryo
to create a new organism.
"We must be careful not to violate the integrity of humanity or of
animal
life," he said. "Research projects that create human-animal chimeras
risk
disturbing fragile ecosystems, endanger health and affront species
integrity."
In a recent article for the conservative Weekly Standard magazine,
Wesley
Smith, a consultant for the Centre for Bioethics and Culture warned
that
"biotechnology is becoming dangerously close to raging out of control".
He wrote: "Scientists are engaging in increasingly macabre experiments
that
threaten to mutate nature and the human condition."
