www.salon.com/2017/04/09/is-my-cat-conscious/not a real powerful article but i was pondering this part: It is striking that chimpanzees start to fail the test once they reach thirty years old; despite having some ten or fifteen years left to live, it seems that self-awareness comes at a cost. Consciousness allows the brain to take part in mental time travel. You can think of yourself in the past and even project yourself into the future. But at the same time, being aware of your own existence means having to confront the inevitability of your demise. Death-awareness is the price we pay for self-awareness. That is why Gallup believes that later in life chimpanzees prefer to lose their ability to be conscious of themselves. Could dementia in humans play a similar role, protecting aging humans from the painful recognition of their impending death?
the upside of dementia i suppose. would be nice to stop understanding you are going to die. though i want to be aware so i can more ascend to the higher light beyond the tunnel then die. no interest in coming back here

I would also like awareness on my death bed if it gets to that.. Check the book the Golden Spruce. Nice combo story with intrigue and plant science about difficulty isolating the genes to propagate an albino sitka to placate a Native American tribe wronged on behalf of a warped interpretation of environmentalism by a schizo disgruntled logger. True story www.goodreads.com/book/show/88335.The_Golden_Spruce

realfarmacy.com/scientists-blow-the-lid-on-cancer-sunscreen-myth/ccording to a June 2014 article featured in The Independent (UK), a major study conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that women who avoid sunbathing during the summer are twice as likely to die as those who sunbathe every day. The epidemiological study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and “showed that mortality was about double in women who avoided sun exposure compared to the highest exposure group.” Researchers concluded that the conventional dogma, which advises avoiding the sun at all costs and slathering on sunscreen to minimize sun exposure, is doing more harm than actual good. That’s because overall sun avoidance combined with wearing sunscreen effectively blocks the body’s ability to produce vitamin D3 from the sun’s UVB rays, which is by far the best form of vitamin D. In the USA, vitamin D deficiency is at epidemic levels. Ironically, vitamin D deficiency can lead to aggressive forms of skin cancer. A ground-breaking 2011 study published in Cancer Prevention Research suggests that optimal blood levels of vitamin D offers protection against sunburn and skin cancer. Additionally, vitamin D protects the body from diseases like multiple sclerosis, rickets (in the young), tuberculosis, inflammatory bowel disease, type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren’s syndrome. According to the Vitamin D Council, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham recently reported that “lack of sun exposure may lead to cognitive decline over time.” the sun is your friend all hail the sun

I find Jung's writings to be extremely interesting in the gnostic area...I don't subscribe to the dogma, but the underlying ideas I find some truths in... His experience w/the spirit guide is interesting...had some experiences w/this as well www.gnosis.org/library/7Sermons_hoeller_trans.htm

i concur for sure... im a fan of archetypes,, kind of like entities in your mind battling for control.
i myself dont like having all that many firm beliefs. Dogma is a box you can easliy get trapped in.. i like to remain fluid so i can be a little more objective when confronted with new data.. we of course all have our skews one way or the other
ive been spending time trying to explore and unlock my mind.. confrontation with concepts that enter my mind.. trying to follow them to origin.
id really like to trigger a vision.. open the pineal gland without having to use DMT or other external inputs. thats what ive been doing on the train lately when not reading. go inwards

Where have they gotten the human race? No.where. I hold close some personal truths I have had from experience though..they have been pretty mind blowing and that shit just doesn't happen everyday...not drug-induced either..lol. You should look into journeying...I have practiced this for a while and it has led to some meaningful experiences. Jung's work on active imagination is also interesting in regard to the journey process. My av is the visualization I use to visit Lower, Middle, and Upper World.

dailygrail.com/Mind-Mysteries/2015/7/Documentary-Explores-the-Possibility-Gaining-Superpowers-Meditation-and-Focusevid attached. i have the power!!!!! Wim Hof first caught the attention of scientists when he proved he was able to stay submerged in ice for one hour and 53 minutes without his core body temperature changing. Since then, he's climbed Mount Everest in his shorts, resisted altitude sickness, completed a marathon in the Namibian Desert with no water, and proven—under a laboratory setting—that he's able to influence his autonomic nervous system and immune system at will. Almost everything Wim has done was previously thought to be impossible, but he's not a freak of nature; he's a master of meditation. To demonstrate that any human can learn his methods, Wim offered to teach VICE hosts Matt Shea and Daisy-May Hudson how to climb a freezing cold mountain in their shorts without getting cold. But when Matt and Daisy signed up for the training, they had no idea that the so-called Iceman was planning to lead them on a psychedelic journey across Europe that circled the chasm between science and spirituality.
