Green thumb or not, most of us have at least one houseplant because even the most pathetic mini-shrub offers our citified selves a slender link back to nature, according to new research.

Previous studies have suggested that plants lower the levels of indoor contaminants and keep people feeling healthier. After noticing how much joy his wife got from plants, Clas Bergvall, an ethnologist at Umeå University in Sweden, wanted to know what they did for people emotionally—so he dedicated his doctoral dissertation to the subject.

In the eight years since he began his research, Bergvall has found that people across centuries share an almost metaphysical connection to plants, and that when brought into the home, plants have an enormous positive impact on well-being.

For one thing, plants seem to make people more contemplative and self-reflective, Bergvall told LiveScience. Plants are often linked to people, places and memories—they are often given as gifts from close friends, for example—so having them around helps people snap out of their busy lives and think about things that are important to them, he said.

Simple Injection Shows Promise for Treating Paralysis

Paralyzed lab rodents with spinal cord injuries apparently regained some ability to walk six weeks after a simple injection of biodegradable soap-like molecules that helped nerves regenerate.

The research could have implications for humans with similar injuries.

“It will take a long time, but we want to offer at least some improvement, to improve quality of life for people with these injuries,” materials scientist Samuel Stupp at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., told LiveScience. “Anything would be considered a breakthrough, because there’s nothing right now.”

The soap-like molecules contain a small piece of laminin, a natural protein important in brain development. After these molecules are injected into the body, they react with chemicals there, assembling themselves instantly into scaffolds of super-thin fibers just six billionths of a meter wide, roughly a hundredth a wavelength of orange light. They biodegrade after roughly eight weeks.

The scientists experimented with their molecules on dozens of mice and rats that experienced spinal cord injuries that paralyzed their hind legs, “the kind of very hard blow people might experience after falling off skiing slopes or getting in car accidents,” Stupp said. His colleague, neurologist John Kessler, became active in this work after Kessler’s daughter was paralyzed in a skiing accident.

After six weeks, damaged nerves regenerated enough for the paralyzed legs of the rodents to regain some ability to walk.

“There’s a special scale to monitor how much function they regained, ranging from 0 to 21,” Stupp explained. “At 21, function is perfect. At 6 or 7, limbs are just paralyzed, and the mice were just dragging them along. If you go to 9 to 12, the animal can now actually move the limbs. Not perfectly—awkwardly—but they move. So two or three points on that scale makes a huge difference.”

“We’ve been able to go from a 7 to a 9 in the mouse, and in the rat, the highest was 12,” he said. The findings are to be presented today at a meeting of the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies in Washington, D.C.

The researchers are currently in talks with the FDA regarding their work and hope to start phase I clinical trials (for toxicity and safety testing) in humans two years from now, Stupp said. The idea he and his colleagues have for these molecules is to administer them within a day or so after spinal cord injuries, before scar tissue begins to form that can suppress healing. Past experiments have shown these molecules can actually turn neural stem cells (which might otherwise become scar cells) into neurons instead.

Questions About Death

Published on April 22, 2007

“Life’s Great Illusions and Myths”

in 2) In the answer it says: We are born with the nonlinear time of our death
set.

in 10) It says that: Everything is a potentiality within creation/evolution,
which has the propensity to become an actuality. That is why the future cannot be foretold. There are infinite amounts of potentialities within creation, which have the possibility of changing outcomes.

Please explain why the time of death does not fall under the explanation of 10) and the potential to change in time.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Our non-linear time of death is likened to a DVD that has a certain amount of time to “run” in the realm of the non-physical. In this physical world it translates to a time period, not an actual date. Due to time being a material world phenomena, “time’ in the non-physical doesn’t translate to a date. The time spoken of here is not a measurable amount, but a karmic issue to undo or correct. It is actually inexplicable, but I’ll attempt a more detailed explanation.

Everything does have the potentiality to change an outcome, except Divinity’s leaving time for us. Even suicide does not parametrically void “time of death,” although the explanation as to why cannot efficiently be explained. When our leaving time is imminent, certain factors draw us toward that end, including the taking of one’s own life. The spirit however always finds its own level in the eternal (nonmaterial) realm.

Even how we treat the body is merely a way of higher consciousness honoring the body, but has no bearing on our time of death. It is only pertinent in the realm of Consciousness. The experts who say we can live longer by living healthier are in error. We cannot extend life, no matter how healthy we live. It is more about how we feel about ourselves and the gift of life. We may die at 92 after eating a diet of cheese sandwiches and smoking cigars for 80 years as my grandfather did, or die of cancer at 13. If we are living longer in general it is due to collective karma, and not science alone.

We all incarnated for certain reasons and have a finite amount of time to fulfill the plan. If we don’t realize the plan, we still have the same amount of time. What we can change is our Karma and our level of consciousness as we become closer to God. How long we’re here is really of no other consequence.

Blessings,

Enlightenment and the Decline of the Level of Consciousness of Western Civilization

Published on April 17, 2007

This article is in response to Dr. Hawkins most recent lecture regarding spirituality and issues of our modern civilization, which I’ve just attended.

The errors of modern society have made the spiritual path more difficult. What we’re witnessing today is perception becoming everyday truth as opposed to Absolute Truth (The Truth of Divinity). This is the Truth of Divinity via the Infinite Field of Consciousness (God) through the use of higher levels of consciousness and Kinesiology. This has led to Western civilization’s level of consciousness falling to non-integrity. This was tested on stage by Dr Hawkins.

What is happening?
Due to present events this has become a significant issue. We are at a critical point because what is being witnessed through the media, politics, business, and education is relativism in its most radical form. It is the collapse of society through the repetition of false-speak as well as errors in thought and action due to lower levels of consciousness often in the form of evil run amok. Relativism is the truth according to the individual. This would imply that there are as many truths as there are people and beliefs.

There is only one Truth about anything. You either have Truth or non-truth. The Truth itself has its levels of essence according to the realm of its existence, nevertheless Truth is still Truth. The light is either on (regardless of its luminescence) or it’s not.

Since we are already witnessing world relativism what we’re left with is the truth according to personal beliefs run rampant. Cynics and skeptics abound, creating more of the same. Cynicism and skepticism both calibrate beneath the level of integrity (200) Power versus Force, Dr. David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.)

What is there to do? (Articles…What’s Going on With the World?, Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do).
In the real-world perhaps a march or a protest would be involved, but the path to enlightenment precludes force and activism. Only the Power of Divinity stands as a certainty to those who choose to embrace the path to God through Truth.

Although following Divinity through religion or religious doctrine may find you kinder and forgiving, the path to God through Truth leads to enlightenment. What needs to be known is why this is happening, and the why is the current level of world consciousness. Nearly 85% of the world calibrates below integrity. That would certainly prohibit forcing change upon all of the worlds’ societies. By raising yourself up, you help to raise up the world. This is teaching by example. The power of the levels of love and kindness, is stronger exponentially than all the lower levels combined.

Where are we going?
The where does not matter to most of the world because of the above evident reasons, but the implications of what we do here are karmic and can be lasting nevertheless.

The short time we spend in our earthly life, has led many to wonder where we spend eternity. Although this question may not become relevant until we’ve reached a certain level of consciousness, the Truth of eternity is we reside where we have become as a result of what we are. This is a personal choice — a choice our essence makes as an eternal being.

Why is this important to know?
What we create on earth is a part of our eternal journey and the mere tip of the iceberg of what we can aspire to be when the realization of Divinity is within us. It all depends on whether or not the journey to be with or be like God, is essential to you as an infinite spirit. Only the fear of the loss of the ego self prevents us from being our Highest Self. Relativity/perception becomes Essence when we are aware of the presence of God. Until then, what we have is what we are witnessing. To paraphrase Dr. Hawkins, There is no opposition to upholding your own Highest potential. To perfect the potentiality of that which you are, is revering God in the Highest, and is your greatest gift to the world.

A Revelation in New Self-Testing Techniques

Published on April 9, 2007

This has been taken from the article Applied Kinesiology__Testing For Truth. I’ve put it here as a separate article because of the importance of getting True readings, which some find elusive.__Myswizard

Because we cannot always eliminate our hidden agendas, due to the tenacity of the hold our ego has on our psyche, the necessity of a self-testing technique which thoroughly eliminates any false results is mandatory. Even at higher levels of consciousness there can be blocks to a neutral answer (especially when done with another individual due to the addition of thoughts, feelings, desires, state of health and transferred energies being present.) This possibility exists whether the other testing partner knows the question or not. It also exists whether the partner is familiar with the tester (especially when there are shared desires or self-interests.)

This research in self-testing techniques eliminates the element of self-interest and non-neutrality, as well as “false guruism,” testing for profit, bogus claims of consciousness raising, and self-doubt when testing. It is based entirely on the fact that Divinity (The Infinite Field) witnesses everything at the level of Absolute Truth, and nothing in existence can be hidden from God. It is simple, portable, and readily available. When used correctly it is 100% effective, and effectively puts The Truth at your fingertips. The (ongoing) research is complete, comprehensively explained, and will be available in my new book, “There Are No Secrets.” Further information regarding testing procedures will be available on site under, Testing Parameters for Self-testing. See Benefits of Reading Power vs. Force for what testing for Truth can do.

An answer to a question

Published on April 6, 2007

This is in response to a reader who is handling a serious illness and is seeking guidance as to where to go next on the spiritual path, having dealt with the physical issues. Names have been left out for confidentiality.

Hi
What you are doing presently is commendable. Anytime we honor the body,
with the therapies available to us, we are doing a great job.

We must keep on going through this life no matter what, until it’s over.
If there is any spiritual lesson to be learned that is it. It isn’t what
we are going through, as much as what we are being as we go through it. If
you have an enduring love and faith in God, that is all you need. Even a
serious illness can be a gift when seen in a new light. You are an
inspiration to all those who have had illnesses, as much as those who have
not.

If there are questions as to why things are the way they are, our karmic
destiny provides the unspoken answers. We aren’t privy as to what our past
karma has been. You have to trust that God knows everything and we are
loved unconditionally at all times. If recovery is the issue, we also must
trust God in that department. Spiritually speaking, we are all overcoming
our karma, as we ascend up from our pasts.

Recovering physically is in the hands of God. Honor the illness as a
blessing, as well as the available methods of helping your body to heal.
Always see yourself as an eternal part of Divinity and live life as a
prayer. More than this is not necessary.

Love and Blessings
Myswizard
