Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents:

Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents is a series of physics lectures from Berkeley University, that focuses on theory rather than math. It appears to be a full course with (I believe) 25 lectures (I haven't watched all of them yet, but the ones that I have seen are really good). This one is lecture 13 - Light I. Light is one of the most interesting topics in physics, and strikes at the very heart of how we understand the "reality" around us.

Berkeley has started webcasting many of their lectures for free, definitely worth a look.

Fred Alan Wolf - The Spiritual Dimensions of Time Travel

This is an interesting lecture from quantum physicist, and spiritualist Dr. Fred Alan Wolf about what we are discovering to be the very odd nature of our reality. The very act of observing affects what is being observed. The will of the observer CANNOT be excluded from the equation. The Uncertainty Principle. Someones "I am..." WILL affect the Universe, their current situation and the "I am..." of all others, to some extent. In a sense, Werner Heisenberg more or less proved the existence of what is called Magic with his Uncertainty Principle, and opened the door for modern science to study it. More and more these days, scientists are beginning to realize that maybe the ancients DID actually know what they were talking about with their mythology, and mysticism. Are we really the first?

This lecture is from the Theosophical Society. Theosophy was given a bad name in the 20th century as Hitler and the SS were greatly inspired by the esoteric teachings of H.P. Blavatsky and of theosophy. The perversions of these teachings led to the rise of Nazi philosophy of Aryan Dominance and the Third Reich (or third family or brotherhood). Although the teachings were greatly perverted, and defaced by the Nazis back in the day, flipping through their teachings offers a viewpoint on history that is not often presented.

Aleister Crowley - The Wickedest Man In the World:

Aleister Crowley - The Wickedest Man In the World. This is a bit of a look into the life of Aleister Crowley. A man who from behind the esoteric curtain had a major impact on the 20th century, with echoes and ripples that are still being felt today, and most likely will be for a long time to come. A man ahead of his time, his timing was perfect at the dawn of the incoming age. 'The Beast 666', and prophet of his religion. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". A man who, drawing from the powers of those ancient and esoteric, obsessively dedicated his life to destroying the influence of the dogmatic church and its crippling set of imposed morals, standards and viewpoints. His picture is on the cover of the Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (back row, second from the left), Jimmy Page bought his house on Loch Ness, Ozzy wrote a song about him (Mr. Crowley), and he inspired countless occultists, and cults. He defined the life of excess, and defiled every boundary he could, and feared nothing and no one. He was childish, obsessed with sex, and died a friendless, penniless, homeless, heroin addict.

Transplanting Memories - Mindshock:

"Do memories travel from donors' transplanted organs to recipients' consciousness?"

I thought this was quite interesting! A documentary about organ donors, their recipients, and the memories and feelings that they almost mysteriously seem to share between them. This show focuses mainly on the heart, and briefly discusses the recent discovery of neurons, and infact a functioning neural network contained within the heart. Studies mentioned in this documentary show that the heart actually deals with emotional material before it is passed on to the brain, and then back to the heart.

Personally, I believe that the body itself has its own functioning intelligence, separate from that of the brain, and that it is the battle between these two separate intelligences that spiritual people define as the ego and the soul (or similar).

Quotes from Albert Einstein:

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

If I had only known, I would have been a locksmith.

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly.

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.

My Book - This Particular Moment:

This is a link to the first few chapters of a book that I'm writing called "This Particular Moment". It's a work in progress. Comments and criticism are welcome.

This is a really cool movie! Definitely worth a watch! Here's the same movie scored by someone else.
