kozyrev's mirrors and electromagnetic null zones:
reflections of russian cosmic science

http://spiritofmaat.com/mar09/russia...c_science.html

"imagine standing under a vast, scintillating aurora borealis, and seeing it change colors as you changed your thoughts. this exact situation led russian medical doctor alexander v. trofimov into his groundbreaking research on human consciousness, in collaboration with vlail p. kaznacheev, and following in the footsteps of the great 20th century physicist nikolai kozyrev.

essentially, kozyrev devised reproducible experiments that prove the existence of a "torsional energy field" beyond electromagnetism and gravity, which travels much faster than light. he called it the "flow of time." others, einstein among them, have called it "ether." others call it "zero point energy."

within this "flow of time," the past, present, and future all exist at the same time, and in every place. this discovery sets the stage for all psychic phenomena to be scientifically explainable. trofimov and kaznacheev have, for the past thirty years, been experimentally developing the practical explanations, and have made some surprising discoveries."

animal architecture: buckminster fuller's tensegrity
renee verdier

in 1932 r. buckminster fuller famously philosophized: "don't fight forces. use them!" (fuller, shelter). a man of many trades -- architect, author, designer, futurist, inventor, and the second president of mensa -- he applied this mantra throughout many aspects of his work. in particular, it is more or less the backbone of his studies of and theories on synergetics, an interdisciplinary science that explores the formation and self-organization of patterns in systems. fuller believed that all experience could be communicated using geometric concepts, and further claimed that the natural analytic geometry of the universe is based on tetrahedra, or triangular pyramids. he explored these ideas through studies of the close-packing of spheres and tensile and compressive stabilization models, noting that tension and compression are not opposites, but rather complements that can be found together; when the two forces are harmonious, continuous pull is balanced by equally discontinuous pushing forces. this synergy between compression and tension is what fuller calls tensegrity, "a system that stabilizes itself mechanically because of the way in which tensional and compressive forces are distributed and balanced within the structure (ingber 48-9). it is the underlying principle behind what is perhaps his most well-known invention, the geodesic dome -- a nearly spherical shell structure based on a network of triangular elements lying approximately on the surface of a sphere. on a grander scale, it is also a fundamental property of several self-assembled systems within the body, from the anatomical to the cellular to the molecular level.

fuller originally coined the term tensegrity, a portmanteau of tensional integrity, while studying "energetic-synergetic geometry" during world war ii. he provides a comprehensive definition of the term in his book synergetics:

tensegrity describes a structural-relationship principle in which structural shape is guaranteed by the finitely closed, comprehensively continuous, tensional behaviors of the system and not by the discontinuous and exclusively local compressional member behaviors. tensegrity provides the ability to yield increasingly without ultimately breaking or coming asunder (fuller, synergetics 372).

tensegrity structures fall into two main categories -- prestressed and geodesic. both types rely on continuous transmission of tensional forces in order to maintain their shape, and stabilize themselves through decentralized tension and local compression; an increase in tension on one part of the structure causes increased tension on other parts of the structure - even those on the opposite side -- which is then balanced out by increased compression within other parts of the structure. the former encompass structural members which are already in tension or compression before they are exposed to any external force, stabilizing themselves through a phenomenon called prestress; within these structures, "the compression-bearing rigid struts stretch, or tense, the flexible, tension-bearing members, while those tension bearing members compress the rigid struts. these counteracting forces, which equilibrate throughout the structure, are what enable it to stabilize itself" (ingber 49).

[Understanding]

the placebo effect is a pervasive, albeit misunderstood, phenomenon in medicine. in the uk, over 60% of doctors surveyed said they had prescribed placebos in regular clinical practice. in a recent times magazine article, 96% of us physicians surveyed stated that they believe that placebo treatments have real therapeutic effects.

the roy water experiment: april 26, 2008

with this study we wished to delve further into water, by testing whether intention can changes the molecular structure of water.

this time, we decided to work with rustum roy, professor of materials science at pennsylvania state university, who is arguably one of the world’s experts on water. we wished ascertain whether there were any changes in the structural organization of our water sample by looking for any changes in the scattering of light waves through our water sample.

the germination intention experiments

after our successful germination intention experiment, and the interesting results we got from our three water intention experiments, psychologist dr. gary schwartz, director of the laboratory for advances in consciousness and health at the university of arizona, and i decided to merge the two by carrying out a water germination experiment. we’d try another germination experiment, but this time we would send the ‘grow’ instructions to the water, not directly to the seeds themselves.

be well, be love.

the peace intention experiment

peace intention experiment

after all these small-scale studies of leaves and seeds and water, the intention experiment decided to take a giant leap, to examine whether ‘group mind’ has the power to lower violence and restore peace. the plan was to have readers all over the world join forces on our website to send peace to a particular war-torn area.

dear friends,

this is great...

sound gives birth to all that is. it is the power behind existence itself and the universe is its outer effect. the sounds we project into the outer world must eventually be harmonized with the sonata being played by the cosmic symphony and the master musician who directs it. music can awaken the heart, and plays an important role in facilitating human betterment and spiritual evolution. in this unique presentation, william meader will discuss the metaphysical implications of sound, particularly as it pertains to the transformational power of the spoken word. he will also explore the profound and far-reaching impact of sound as it facilitates the evolution of human consciousness.

but this case of what is known as a supernumerary phantom limb (spl) is a genuine head-scratcher.

the upshot is that the woman can use the apparitional extremity to relieve very real itches on the cheek. it cannot penetrate solid objects.

she does not always perceive the arm but "retrieves" it when needed, doctors told the swiss news agency.

it is nevertheless the first case known to doctors of a person being able to feel, see and deliberately move a limb that doesn't exist. the findings are published in the annals of neurology

aetheric thoughts
posted on sunday, 12 april, 2009 | 5:32 | comments: 0

image credit: f. schmutzerwilliam b stoecker: in the latter part of the nineteenth century, physicists theorized that light and other electromagnetic radiation might be propagated through space via some tenuous medium they called the luminiferous (light bearing) aether. it could be thought of, perhaps, as another kind of matter. then, in 1887, two american physicists, michelson and morley, constructed an apparatus using two mirrors and a semi-silvered mirror to split a light beam into two beams travelling at right angles to one another and then recombined them and measured the size of the interference fringes caused by constructive and destructive interference. it was reasoned that, as the earth orbited the sun and moved through the aether, the beams, due to a kind of aether wind, would travel at different velocities, creating patterns within a certain range. they repeated the experiment over and over and in many directions, and never found evidence of an aether wind. other physicists, more recently, have had the same result. it was reasoned that if there was an aether, there would have to be an aether wind, so, clearly, there is no aether.

science had to go back to the drawing boards, so to speak, and one of the results of this was einstein's special theory of relativity, published in 1905 and dealing, as the title implies, with the concept that motion is never absolute, but only relative. yet it seems to me, even though relativity theory seems to have passed every test, that there can, indeed, be absolute motion. imagine that you are in a room with a large balloon filled with air. the air molecules inside the balloon are vibrating and circulating, but you can still move relative to the balloon as a whole. if the balloon were removed and you had only the air mass, for all its internal movements, you could move relative to the mass as a whole. planets like our earth orbit the sun, but you can move relative to our solar system taken as an entire unit. and you can move relative to our entire galaxy, despite all of its internal movements. by extension, then, it is possible to consider our entire universe, whether it is expanding or not, as a single immense "object"...and move relative to it. since the universe is, by definition, everything that exists, that would make the motion absolute.

hello all! i wanted to share something i found today that i thought would be of interest. it's a picture taken by the chandra observatory just recently of a pulsar in our galaxy. the image is of a great cosmic hand, or so it appears. it got me to thinking about how the image of human beings is written into the very consciousness of the logos. without further ado, i give you the picture:




incase the picture does not show up, or if you want more science behind the image, here is the link:

hope you all enjoy this as much as i have.

the deep symbiosis between bacteria and their human hosts is forcing scientists to ask: are we organisms or living ecosystems?

as soon as we are born, bacteria move in. they stake claims in our digestive and respiratory tracts, our teeth, our skin. they establish increasingly complex communities, like a forest that gradually takes over a clearing. by the time we’re a few years old, these communities have matured, and we carry them with us, more or less, for our entire lives. our bodies harbor 100 trillion bacterial cells, outnumbering our human cells 10 to one. it’s easy to ignore this astonishing fact. bacteria are tiny in comparison to human cells; they contribute just a few pounds to our weight and remain invisible to us.
it’s also been easy for science to overlook their role in our bodies and our health. researchers have largely concerned themselves with bacteria’s negative role as pathogens: the devastating effects of a handful of infectious organisms have always seemed more urgent than what has been considered a benign and relatively unimportant relationship with “good” bacteria. in the intestine, the bacterial hub of the body that teems with trillions of microbes, they have traditionally been called “commensal” organisms — literally, eating at the same table. the moniker suggests that while we’ve known for decades that gut bacteria help digestion and prevent infections, they are little more than ever-present dinner guests.

but there’s a growing consensus among scientists that the relationship between us and our microbes is much more of a two-way street. with new technologies that allow scientists to better identify and study the organisms that live in and on us, we’ve become aware that bacteria, though tiny, are powerful chemical factories that fundamentally affect how the human body functions. they are not simply random squatters, but organized communities that evolve with us and are passed down from generation to generation. through research that has blurred the boundary between medical and environmental microbiology, we’re beginning to understand that because the human body constitutes their environment, these microbial communities have been forced to adapt to changes in our diets, health, and lifestyle choices. yet they, in turn, are also part of our environments, and our bodies have adapted to them. our dinner guests, it seems, have shaped the very path of human evolution.
