Monthly Column

Uncommon Wisdom from our Youth Science to Sage has provided a section for youth, providing a platform to express their uncommon wisdom and views. Featured is Austin Herrmann, 15 and Alexander Hall, 16.

Monthly Adventure - Patricia Taylor Patricia Taylor is Vancouver’s local underground adventurer and creator of the popular and internationally acknowledged Monthly Adventure website. Committed to exploring provocative subjects by having one adventure, once a month, Patricia has opened her eyes to over 40 unforgettable journeys. For Patricia, each quirky encounter tests the limits of her comfort zone while she unplugs from the mainstream and steps into different worlds. With only a quarter of her exploits written to date, her mission is to inspire others to break free from the conventional. Patricia is living proof that sometimes life is an unexpected adventure just waiting to happen.

Perspective - John Wong John Wong is an integrator of science, ancient wisdom, and spirituality, together with his own personal insights (SAWSI). After 33 years of engineering as an owner, principal, and partner, he finally gave up his career to study the intersections of these three main disciplines in order to bridge the new and the old, the West and the East, and outer and the inner realities. The purpose is to study and to understand the human civilization and its conditions and progress and how we can promote peace and empowerment to overcome the challenges in the 21st century. “We are living in the most critical juncture of human history to date. We are in the midst of a massive galactic alignment and evolutionary shift in consciousness. There is time acceleration, information overload, old paradigm crumbling, societal instability, chaos, and confusion. It is the perfect storm before the calm. Like a test, we need to transcend it or perish. My desire is to use my gift of wisdom and insight to help facilitate this paradigm shift happening in our midst. This is done by spreading the good information about our innate powerful intelligence to overcome adversity, to not live in fear, and to pull people out of despair and give them hope. In essence, my calling is to help build a critical mass of conscious living people and to help bridge the chasm of human conflict. Another Golden Age is waiting. We just need to embrace it”. - Perspective by John Wong Content and Editorial Support: Kina Merdinian, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Global Discoveries Network Foundation (GDNFO), http://www.gdnfo.org/ Sharing "Good Info" Through Connection, Communication, Collaboration and Compassion

From Canada to Colorado, California to Costa Rica, audiences are raving about the feelings they experience while listening to the otherworldly sounds of American throat singer Matthew Kocel. People consistently say they experience deep meditative states, even profound visions while listening. His music does not consist of songs, per se, it is more like a collection of meditations or sonic prayers for healing.

Understand the Field Made Conscious Intentions Bond in the Space That Connects Us All

Transcending the Self By Lynne McTaggart

When astronaut Edgar Mitchell was returning from his ight to the moon, he had an epiphany that would change his life. Staring out the window of the Kittyhawk, he experienced a feeling of connectedness, as if all the planets and all the people of all time were attached by some invisible web. It was an overwhelmingly visceral feeling, as if he was physically extending out to the furthest reaches of the cosmos. In a single instant, he had discovered and felt The Field. of the planet to quiver, the nal shift in polar axis will and more miserable.

All of us at one point or another in our lives have experienced this moment: a sense of unity with all things and with the life force — during a dream or some altered state of consciousness, or at a moment in childhood, or even while intensely in love. It could be a moment of

precognition, when we intuitively sense something or see into the future. It could be a dream about our purpose in life or perhaps during a profound moment of meditation or selfhypnosis. Arguably the world’s authority on cosmic consciousness and the altered states of consciousness is American parapsychologist and author Dr Charles Tart, who has been investigating normal and altered states of consciousness for more than 40 years. Tart uses the term ‘cosmic consciousness’, coined by physician Robert Maurice Bucke in 1961, and also his de nition: “The prime characteristic of cosmic consciousness is, as the name implies, a consciousness of the cosmos, that is, of the life and order of the universe.”

According psychologist William James, all cosmicconsciousness experiences tend to have some similarities: the experience is usually spontaneous — you don’t turn in on like a tap; it tends to be transient — usually lasting about half an hour and rarely for more than two hours; the people involved invariably feel a sense of unity with all things as a ‘seamless whole’. They also have a

sense of knowingness, says Tart, quoting James: “a direct insight into the nature of reality that is self validating”, resulting in a sense of authority and certainty about them in the future. Finally, there is a sense of the ineffable nature of the experience, says Tart. It is utterly different from any other state of consciousness they’ve experienced, and can’t be described in words, or even by simile or metaphor.

“The prime characteristic of cosmic consciousness is, as the name implies, a consciousness of the cosmos, that is, of the life and order of the universe.”

Sense of Interconnection However individual the moment, there are several aspects that distinguish it as cosmic awareness. In that moment, you move away from the tight boundaries of the ‘self’ of your own ego and embrace a more oceanic feeling of unity with the entire universe, with a sense of interconnectedness with all things. There is also an inner knowing that things will never be the same again.

It is invariably a profoundly transforming experience, usually lasting the rest of your life, having opened a window into a reality you never knew existed. It also may be the experience that forces you to make an abrupt change in your life, as it did with Edgar Mitchell, who left NASA after returning to earth to found the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

The Institute of Noetic Sciences was founded in 1973 by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell. Its mission is to support individual and collective transformation through consciousness research, educational outreach, and engaging a global learning community in the realization of our human potential. “Noetic” comes from the Greek word nous, which means “intuitive mind” or “inner knowing.” IONS conducts, sponsors, and collaborates on leading-edge research into the potentials and powers of consciousness, exploring phenomena that do not necessarily t conventional scienti c models while maintaining a commitment to scienti c rigor.

Similar Episodes

At the end of his life, the American psychologist Abraham Maslow (1908–1970) turned his attention to these types of peak experiences. Although all of us are capable of having a transcendent moment, it was Maslow’s view that certain people were more predisposed to experience them than others. Maslow came to believe this after studying the biographies and writings of historical gures who’d had such an experience – Albert Einstein, Aldous Huxley, William James, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt and Albert Schweitzer¬- for similarities of character. Maslow characterized all these notables as ‘self-actualized’, and noted that, as a whole, they • were problem-centered, viewing life’s di culties clinically as a problem to be solved, not a personal issue inspiring anger or defeat • believed that the means — the journey of life — was often more important than the end result • enjoyed and were comfortable with solitude, but had deeper personal relations with a few close friends and family • liked to be independent of physical and social needs • were non-conformists without the need to be either well-adjusted or t in a social situation • had a gentle sense of humor, able to joke at their own expense, or at the world • accepted both themselves and others as they were rather than changing them to what they should be; preferred to be themselves, too • were motivated to improve their own worst qualities • were often quite conformist on the surface • felt a sense of humility and respect toward others • had a social conscience and compassion • had a strong sense of ethics and spirituality, but rarely a conventional religion • retained a sense of wonder

What all of these notables shared, in short, was a tendency to remain free of small and self-interested concerns and to recognize in every way that they were part of a greater whole. That ties in with the work of neuroscientists about such experiences. Eugene d’Aquili, of the University of Pennsylvania, and Andrew Newberg, a fellow of the university hospital’s nuclear medicine program, carried out a two-year study of Tibetan monks. They found that feelings of calm, unity and transcendence, such as during peak moments, show up as more activity in the brain’s frontal lobes (behind the forehead) with less activity in the parietal lobes (at the back of the top of the head). This part of the brain is responsible for the sense of ‘I’ and ‘other’. During this mystical experience, the ‘I’ part of the brain gets dampened down. What this suggests is the fundamental purpose of a transcendent moment: to turn us into a bigger ‘self’ so that we move beyond the small sense of ‘I’ to the limitless sense of ‘us’. Tart quotes Bucke’s own mystical experience as feeling “that the universe is so built and ordered that without any peradventure, all things work together for the good of each and all, that the foundation principle of the world is what we call love and that the happiness of every one is in the long run absolutely certain”. There is often a sense of ‘God’, but more as the ‘Absolute’ than the anthropomorphic god of organized religion. This feeling is our birthright – our natural state of being. Notice that his overwhelming sense of oneness included a ‘liberty and justice for all’ sensation. His own transcendence required a similar situation for everyone. We can recover wholeness in our lives and recapture our sense of the transcendent on a daily basis, but it requires a very different set of rules than the ones we currently live by. We have to ask ourselves some fundamental questions. We must look at our lives from an entirely different perspective, a larger vantage point, so that we nally see the interconnection. Once we change the very way we see, we may begin to experience the connections that tie us all together.

"The Pythagorean philosophy of Musica Universalis holds that everything is a manifestation of harmonic vibrations and patterns present at all scales of nature. But, knowledge of resonance and its role in creating all physical structure is a much older knowledge. Descending from a preEgyptian, pre-Sumerian civilization founded on Vedic cosmology, recent discoveries in the construction of sacred temple spaces are revealing a deep understanding of acoustics, geometry and harmonic physics largely deduced from studying the human body. In the body, patterns of resonance take the form of a spiral head, wave-like spine and a variety of blended cardioid shapes in the body. This month's cover symbolizes the spiral around the ear canal as an extension of our Sun's heliosphere, focusing light into human perception and conscious self-awareness. Each piece in the Musica Universalis series makes similar correspondences between the physical processes of the solar system and the physiology of the human body.

The Global Coherence Initiative is a science-based, co-creative project to unite people in heart-focused care and intention, to facilitate the shift in global consciousness from instability and discord to balance, cooperation and enduring peace.

The Global Coherence Initiative helps individuals and groups work together, synchronistically and strategically to increase the impact of their efforts to create positive global change.

The Global Coherence Initiative includes an important scienti c measurement component. Advanced sensing technology, now being developed at the Institute of HeartMath, will allow us to observe changes in the earth’s magnetic eld and test the hypothesis that the earth’s eld is affected by mass human emotion, positive or negative. The Global Coherence Monitoring System (GCMS) consist of an ongoing

•

Groups of people in heart coherence can affect the earth’s eld.

•

Changes in the earth’s eld predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and similar planetary scale events, in order to give people advance warning.

•

Empower environmental responsibility and stewardship of the planet

You can start now by becoming a member and learning how to increase your heart coherence and tracking your progress. While the monitoring system continues to be developed and the GCI community and activities continue to grow, the world needs your participation.

Living with New Consciousness

A signi cant number of humans are already beginning to recognize that no one can ever be separate from the Universe. Many are becoming aware that their innate state of religiosity is independent of the organized religious beliefs and conditionings. We have created multiple concepts of God out of our fear of the unknown and we have learned to control life instead of celebrate its abundant blessings. Our man-made concepts about the many different Gods have created much pain and suffering for the whole of humanity and have brought us to a point of self-

The Universe evolves and expands as we transform our individual unconscious energy into consciousness. In order to transform our collective energy, each person needs to take full responsibility for his or her own transformation into consciousness and start functioning from higher energy centers (chakras). 2012 will awaken us out of our collective sleep and give us an opportunity to surrender our attachments to our fears, conditionings and old belief systems.

destruction. Our survival is now dependent on surrendering our different ideas of God and our uni cation as cosmic beings belonging to one earth and one universe. Those who gather the courage to surrender their egomind will heal into consciousness and be the torchbearers for this new cycle of human evolution. The new beginning will give birth to a new man and a new woman who will follow their own intelligence and inner knowing, and will be true to their own heart.

Ask yourself Who am I? and Why am I Here? Examine your attitude towards life and death and search for your eternal being.

2) Surrender your personal will to the Will of Existence and whatever life brings you moment to moment. 3) Make a list of your fears and allow yourself to act in spite of them. Don’t be afraid to be different. 4) Understand and break through your social and religious conditionings. Search within to nd your own answers instead of relying on other people’s opinions of what is right for you. 5) Look for the lessons you need to learn in every situation in spite of the ups and downs of life. 6) Be honest with yourself and others and take full responsibility for your thoughts and emotions. 7) Live each day as if it’s your last, and trust that existence always takes care of you.

Seven Things you can do to Prepare for 2012

THE ONE & THE MANY

Because You are unlimited, neither the lords of heaven nor even You Yourself can ever reach the end of Your glories. The countless universes, each enveloped in its shell, are compelled by the wheel of time to wander within You, like particles of dust blowing about in the sky. The srutis, following their method of eliminating everything separate from the Supreme, become successful by revealing You as their final conclusion. - Bhagavata Puran

Content from the book InsideOUT

want to be a great person. I

want my individuality to shine out like a brilliant sun. I feel the glory of creation in me. I am inspired to do great things and seek great heights. I want to be new, original, unique, a tower of strength, an oracle of wisdom, and a owing fountain of knowledge. I feel the inspiration of genius within me. How can I develop it? How can I satisfy my own expectations of myself? How I can be a great individual, a powerful individual? In such words an ardent, thoroughly alive youth, burning with the inner res of laudable ambition appealed to an older one, who knew the way, to direct him to the road of life which leads to the mountain top.

"You have asked a universal question," came the answer. "Your desire is an instinctive urge for creative expression which is with every normally ambitious human. It is the age-old search for the power that lies within the individual Self.

"That ceaseless search for the individual Self is the supreme quest of man, the supreme urge of all time. It underlies all religion, all achievement, and all human relations. It is the motivating force which keeps man going, urges him forward, ever forcing him to climb the mountain of life.

"The great majority of people who seek that power make the mistake of seeking for it in but one direction, and there are two. He who has nally succeeded in nding that priceless inner-principle does so only by learning how to lose it.

A fundamental law of Nature demands that one learn how to lose his life in order to nd it, or learn to unbind and set free in order to possess, or learn to give in order to be enabled to take. If you make the mistake of seeking greatness in the one direction of your ego instead of balancing that search by seeking in the opposite direction toward the universal ego, you will fail to nd it. You cannot multiply yourself by yourself. You must dSelves through service and experiences. You will then take them back multiplied a thousandfold. In other words, if you want to be a rare person, you must learn how to entirely lose the very idea of greatness in humility. You cannot become great by accumulating greatness. You can nd it only by learning how to transform humility into greatness.

Instead of contemplating the greatness of your individuality, contemplate your littleness in the universe. It is the meek who inherit the earth. Greatness springs from meekness. Every e ect in Nature springs from its opposite e ect and never from itself. This principle is universal. It applies to all things, both spiritual and physical. Neatness is not the accentuation of self, but of all Selves owing through one.

Do not, therefore, seek self-expression through your Self alone, for you will nd but little to express. But if you lose your Self in the whole universe, you have the whole universe owing through you to seek expression.

BY IVAN RADOS We are all together in this journey called One Life. We all have individual Consciousness and every individual Consciousness is the One in nite Consciousness. Lets us all learn from each other in our One Journey called One Life, aligning One-Self with the Whole and start living a balanced, conscious and in nite One Life.

As salt dissolves in water, we taste the water, but also the salt. Just so, the great Being which is without end or limit, and which consists only of Awareness, comes forth from such elements, and vanishes into them once more. The Upanishads

FASHIONMONTHLY July 11, 2011

The in nity is the Whole Existence expressing It-Self

through the individual Consciousness in nitely. The in nite Consciousness is experiencing the Existence in in nite life through the in nite directions right now and here. The moment right NOW contains in nite possibilities all accessible with fullness of Consciousness. We are all Existence, individually experiencing the in nite possibilities in One Life and sharing it with our Consciousness. One Life has many expressions of in nite Existence and every expression is the right One. Every Consciousness is right, because it is coming from one source of All That Is, the Oneness. We are all responsible for our individual Existence and consequently for the Whole. We are all together to hold Our Selves responsible for our own Consciousness, and the content it holds, and the energy it transmits. We are all together as the Oneness to be creative and meditative. To radiate a sphere of in uence. To affect not only those we call immediate family, but also rippling out to in uence our reality and all beings in it, and all other realities in Existence.

the many begin to dissolve into Oneness. At the centre, all the pieces and parts – everything and no-thing – become One. The world contains many. Your being is both everything and no-thing. Your being is the One. The One is the All, And All are the One. From our limited perception, we see the world and our being as two different states. The mind thinks in an either/or fashion, it creates division. The mind cannot exist without duality. It needs to separate Oneness. The whole point of meditation is to understand the process of how our mind functions. When you are aware of the mechanism of your mind, you will realize what Oneness is, what health is, what truth is. Without the mind, there is no barrier between your Being and the Oneness. Oneness cannot be existential, because it doesn’t contain non-existence. Oneness cannot be bliss, because it doesn’t contain misery. Oneness cannot be consciousness, because it doesn’t contain unconsciousness. Oneness is not any of these; but it is all of these – and even more. To de ne Oneness is useless. We would have to use opposites and Oneness transcends opposites. Behind all duality is the Oneness of BEING, the in nite Whole. To attain Oneness, duality has to be dropped. “I can exist only in my separation, but I am no longer separated. Be IN the world, but not OF the world. Therefore, if I am no longer separated, I am not, only Oneness IS”. We are called human being. Human stands for nature and being stands for Consciousness. Like a lotus plant, trusting its own Existence and opening its seed in total darkness of the mood, rising up, growing and trusting its nature, and nally expressing It-Self as a lotus ower. Lotus ower is experiencing life in full life-force as the Whole Existence.

You are an inseparable part of the Oneness and the Oneness always unquestionably shares. The sharing is the quality of your Being. The more you share One Self, the more this grows within you as Oneness. Be afraid of sharing; be in the energy of possessiveness and the in nite energy of Oneness will start shrinking, and cutting the connection. The Whole loves you in nitely, and if you decide to be separated, the in nity has to listen and relate with respect. The Existence is Oneness, it moves in nitely and gives unconditionally to everyone, to everything equally. The Law of One is sharing in nitely through the Uni ed Energy Field. The Law of One is the Uni ed Energy Field in constant ow of all visible and invisible energies from all levels of this reality and all other realities, all dimensions and all densities in this moment of NOW. The Uni ed Energy Field is the expression of ‘the In nite Energy of Oneness’, in all directions, sharing to all and expanding through the Whole. This is the eld of all possibilities.

THE INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE WHOLE EXISTENCE

FASHIONMONTHLY July 11, 2011

We are all together in this journey called One Life. We all have individual Consciousness and every individual Consciousness is the One in nite Consciousness. We all share the same One Life and the same Existence. We are all experiencing the Oneness with-in our Consciousness. Lets us all learn from each other in our One Journey called One Life, aligning One-Self with the Whole and start living a balanced, conscious and in nite One Life.

Let go. Do nothing. Be aware. Don’t resist. Everything will change. It always does.

Ivan Rados is an internationally recognized author and artist whose artwork is displayed in many European museums and private collections around the world. Ivan was a highly rated member of an international art community at Dean Clough, Halifax, UK from 1992 to 2001. For Ivan, Sacred Geometry Yantras, signed limited Edition Fine Art Prints - http://ivanrados.com/yantra/

About Ivan Ivan evolved spiritually at a young age and shared his healing gift with family and friends, he was aware he needed to heal a signi cant aspect of his being––his emotional wounds––before he could share his wisdom with the wider world. His journey to wholeness is a story of courage and determination. Using art to search his soul, he underwent a profound spiritual transmutation, fundamentally altering his perception of himself. Now a true master of both himself and his life, Ivan asserts that he heals no one. He simply aids individuals in healing themselves through the power of In nite Consciousness. Ivan’s journey reads like a book of miracles, which he modestly labels "ordinarinesses,” though those who heal from countless ailments experience anything but ordinariness with this man and often continue seeing him for ongoing spiritual guidance and expansion of their consciousness. Ivan is not associated with any particular healing methodology or spiritual movement. His deep roots in the One-Self, the source of everything, provide him with the insight to be of service in the evolution of consciousness.

We are called human being. Human stands for nature and being stands for Consciousness. Like a lotus plant, trusting its own Existence and opening its seed in total darkness of the mood, rising up, growing and trusting its nature, and nally expressing It-Self as a lotus ower. Lotus ower is experiencing life in full life-force as the Whole Existence. We all have the possibility to move from our animal kingdom to our full ful llment - the Being. The Being is the Whole Existence.

We are chemistry in motion. Essential Nature can be seen even by the novice, yet the novice does not recognize it. Seeing only a part, it is like he sees only one half of the universe.

We make bonds like atoms make bonds. We cluster

The Surangama Sutra

Bonds are what keep us together, yet when we lose

into groupings like particles that arrange at certain frequencies. We come absorbed or evolved into a ‘chemical’ (bonded) system, i.e. family, country

that connection and we are not in the same state, the bond is lost. This new state could be just a simple mood shift that is temporary or permanent. Life is pure chemistry and either there is heat or no heat, attraction or not.

NASSIM HARAMEIN A Theory of Everything We are blessed with so many teachers and luminaries that have contributed to this rst issue of Science to Sage and others who have offered to be a part of this ongoing message of our interconnectivity and hope for humanity. One such inspiring force who will be featured in more detail in an upcoming issue, is Nassim Haramein, Director of Research and Founder of The Resonance Project Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity. Mr. Haramein has the unique ability to capture the attention of audiences from all walks of life in his often 6 + hour worldwide lectures that are absolutely riveting. After repeated standing ovations, the participants leave forever transformed and wanting more.

How is this possible… and he talking about physics? : ) Haramein has the ability to deliver Universal Truth in layperson’s terms, through a tight and captivating integration of science and ancient knowledge. His credible delivery weaves in so many seemingly disparate topics which in fact are actually providing their corroborative piece of the puzzle to the fundamental nature of our reality and our in uence on our existence. He blends the sciences including physics and his new solution to Einstein’s eld equations, with common threads in religious belief systems, sacred geometry, the texts, monuments, and symbols of ancient civilizations including

pyramids found worldwide…The list seems endless. He even integrates more “on the edge topics” including crop circles and ETs. By the time you have gotten off the paradigm altering ride of your life, you feel as though you have just gotten a collective and corroborative “Theory of Everything” that you have ever wondered about! And now there is a common framework that brings you to that “Ah Hah” moment of both intellectual insight and an unexpected heart opening for you see that we are all connected as one, and we truly have an extraordinary in uence on this organized and structured world around us.

Science to Sage highly recommends Nassim Haramein’s work and encourages you to learn more about his research. We plan to feature him in more depth in a future issue. Visit the web site at www.theresonanceproje ct.org for more information, including Mr. Haramein’s scientific papers and collaborations, DVDs, events and more! Nassim Haramein has spent his life researching the fundamental geometr y of hyperspace, studying a variety of elds from theoretical physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, biology and chemistry to anthropology and ancient civilizations. Combining this knowledge with a keen observation of the behavior of nature, he discovered a speci c geometric array that he found to be fundamental to creation, and the foundation for his Uni ed Field Theory emerged. Although Haramein may not explicitly say or focus as much on the “spiritual” side during the delivery of his material, as what he speaks of is clearly profoundly stimulating the intellectual mind and curiosity, I fo u n d a r e m a r k a b l e a n d

unexpected outcome and resonance in my heart I found that I was in the presence of a familiar knowing… of universal truth. I felt that I was forever transformed and found myself to be more compassionate and understanding of others. I felt a new sense of responsibility to be more conscious of my thoughts and deeds and to value honesty and integrity so highly. I recognized that we truly affect o u r re a l i t y a n d t h at o u r expectations and intentions are powerful energies that enter the universal feedback system. For me, Haramein demonstrated this as an indisputable truth through the corroboration of so many diverse and validated schools of thought and the compelling evidence that he has studied and distilled so beautifully for the layperson.

SCIENCE TO SAGE

JOSEF TYLS

PA R T N E R

You could call him Vancouver’s resident genius. However, Josef Tyls III M.Sc. Ph.D. prefers to call himself an alchemist. What exactly is an alchemist? Traditionally, alchemy is an ancient practice that is focused on the creation of the mythical philosopher’s stone – the one that can not only turn base metals into silver and gold, but can also bestow eternal youth and immortality on anyone lucky enough to have it in his possession. In addition to its sciencebased theories, alchemy also turns to mythology and religion for several of its concepts and practices, making it, for many, the perfect marriage of science and spirituality. For a world tired of a materialistic, Descartian-Newtonian universe, Alchemy offers a cosmos steeped in “magic.” Enter Josef Tyls An industrial engineer born in the Czech Republic, Tyls became a Canadian citizen in 1972. Tyls has been involved with systems technology design for nearly 30 years and has successfully brought to market many of those technologies. His eld of expertise covers all aspects of industrial engineering, electronics design and development, biology and biooxidative medicine, electro-medicine, water processing and high de nition audio systems used for healing But his professional resume only scratches the surface of what makes this ordinary man quite extraordinary. Tyls’ deep understanding of the fundamental structure of matter and its interrelationship with human consciousness is the basis of many of his unique technologies. “The creation of Life is magically unfolding as it is intended to be, and all we need to do is be aware and see the magic which then illuminates our imagination and brings us the understanding from wisdom – which is deeper than knowledge,” says Tyls.

Ty l s ’ c o s m o l o g y h a s b e e n impacted by nine near death experiences that began in childhood and continued to play out in his adult life. He jokes that he is like Felix the cat, with nine lives. He says he’s often wondered if there was a hole in the matrix that kept somehow pulling him in! His near death experiences gifted him with a profound understanding of the dynamics of the quantum eld, as well as our place in the universe. During one of his near death experiences, Tyls says, he could feel everything as a wave rushing to the shore. That experience left him with a deep knowing that we are like ripples in a pond. “We affect all those in our wake; we have chosen to be here; we have chosen our role. We are here to have this experience called life.” It’s Tyls’ unique background, and expertise as a modern day alchemist that prompted Science to Sage to seek out a partnership with this amazing alchemist. Not only will Tyls contribute to the magazine, but he will conduct classes and webinars on a regular basis. Karen Elkins, founder of Science to Sage says, “He is truly a unique and charismatic individual with passion to teach and share his wisdom. He is down to earth, enthusiastic and fun loving.

YOUtube Interviews

Josef Tyls is a true ALCHEMIST and his quest is for the truth in i t s m o s t p u re s t s e n s e a philosopher - the basis of the word philo, meaning 'Lover', as in Philo/Sopher, 'Sophia', meaning wisdom or completely "Lover of wisdom". Josef is also an inventor and engineer.

They are circular shaped visual phenomenon showing up in hundreds of thousands of photos in a myriad of different settings, under all kinds of conditions. These mystifying “orbs” have attracted attention in both the scienti c and spiritual communities all over the world

ORBS IS THE VIEL LIFTING? Some orb enthusiasts theorize that these spherical lights have been with us for centuries, possibly the source of our belief in angels, fairies, or other paranormal intelligence. They could be the inspiration for the halos shown around the heads of spiritual teachers in classic paintings. With the introduction of digital photography, these bright balls of energy are no longer con ned to religious art and sacred mythology

”

Both men are experienced researchers with extensive backgrounds in both science and spirituality. Heinemann is a physicist and former NASA researcher. Ledwith, a theologian and former president of Maynooth College in Ireland, served on the International Theological Commission at the Vatican for 17 years. Neither Heinemann nor Ledwith accepted what they were seeing in their photos without considerable skepticism, and both took painstaking efforts to validate their results Although many critics have dismissed orbs as dust particles, water droplets, or even tiny insects that have wandered into the camera’s eld, the evidence indicates otherwise. “I devoted a lot of time and research to make sure I was on solid ground and I wasn’t dealing with easily explainable phenomena,” says Heinemann. However, that doesn’t mean “fake” orb photos don’t exist. Although he concedes that it certainly is possible for natural phenomenon to produce occasional orb-like effects, he is quick to point out that the overwhelming number of orb photos that now exist make this explanation highly implausible For the skeptics, Heinemann offers a series of indicators that can authenticate orb photos. For example, he says, if a photograph shows an orb that is positioned behind another object, it essentially rules out the possibility of water or dust on the lens of the camera. He also classi es as authentic photographs that show orbs that change size and move from one location to another in successive shots. Equally hard to dismiss are photos of extremely bright orbs that are easily visible without digital enhancement, or orb photos taken in the same location at the same time by different cameras. The multitudes of photos that depict orbs in strategic locations such as at the elbow of a healer or the mouth also defy “logical” explanation

Some skeptics also suggest that orb photos are the result of image manipulation. However, Ledwith explains, because the camera’s EXIF (exchangeable image le format) log tracks all changes made to the original picture, it is extremely dif cult to successfully fake an orb photo These strategies apparently work. Both Ledwith and Heinemann have captured thousands of orbs of every size and color in their massive array of photos. However, these researchers are not shooting orb photos for the sole purpose of adding more and more spectacular images to their impressive collections. They believe the orbs are much more than a curiosity; that they have both a meaning and a purpose Inspired by their orb experiences which, between the two of them, comprise over 12 years of concentrated study, Ledwith and Heinemann have come to their own separate conclusions about the true nature of the orbs they photograph. Heinemann believes the orbs are the perfect bridge between the scienti c and the spiritual, allowing us to see that we are “just a part in a huge continuum of consciousness and conscious beings.” He says the orbs are Spirit beings, or more correctly, Spirit emanations. “They are emanations from a Spirit being,” he explains, rather than the entirety of that being. “I liken it,” he says, “to a person using a ashlight. Standing in the dark, you as the observer only see the ashlight — you don’t see the person. That person could be moving that ashlight around and even shining it in your camera.You could say that person is directing the ashlight and it is emanating from that person, but there is so much more to them than just what you see.” Are digital cameras the vehicles for providing us with at least the initial answers to these intriguing questions? It all remains to be seen, of course – both literally and guratively.

Nothing Is Really

Will be an improvement on all that we saw, A perfect new world of manufactured law. We're waiting to hear the critic's reply, A better Sun in a modi ed sky, New species with faces more charming than these, Go ahead maestro, show us please, The better place you'd like us to go, The improved reality you "Somehow" know. What's that you say: "The One or the Void", Excuse me, I don't mean to be annoyed But you're willing to trade the wonder we've seen, To sell your cow for a single bean, That will never grow or produce a ower, Oneness reduces love to power, To silence the melody, the music we sing And in return, settle for nothing!

So, I say you are the king of the nerds, Dweebic and dull, anti-social and droll, You hide your ineptness with empty goals. So, go if you wish to this oneness charade, Hate all the beauty, ignore the parade, Go ahead, go to emptiness, leave beauty for me, You're already blind, you clearly can't see, So enter the void, shut-up, go away, Leave us the beauty, the words that I sayAre a "personal" challenge to give it all up, Sell your house, break your teapot, smash your cup, Annihilate your ego, blot beauty's sight, Go live all alone in the void or the light, Be quiet, don't talk, we all get your point, There's nothing to say and no higher joint, So leave us now, go, to your "oneness" retreat, While we move eternally toward Beauty's seat,

The beauty of life in a sari smiling But all you see is a witch beguiling,

Toward love in eternity, dancing with grace, The Lord and His Lady in their Transcendent Place

A miraculous life resting on breath But all you can see is pain and death, So you would prefer the void of space, Homogenized milk to the feast and a face,

And leave this "illusory" Earth to we Who believe in our selves for eternity Who believe that each ower is truth on the vine, You can keep the One, we'll take the Divine.

Obscure for eternity, not to be heard,

BY JOHN WONG It all boils down to consciousness of the individual and the collective. Many years ago, I had an independent insight that the most fundamental make up of the universe is energycarried information, not atoms, electrons, nor quarks. One of my educator friends took that and taught it to his night class. Since then, I have seen more and more evidence of that over time. The other insight I had was that the Internet is a precursor to non-local (entangled) communications of the mind via the quantum eld. This is already happening as we speak. This means that information of the past, present, and future are all accessible to those who know how to. It is not unlike the Akashic Records or quantum eld of information in ancient and modern texts respectively. This is the reason why many ancient sages, modern scientists, and wisdom keepers can have such an array of information that can overwhelm the average person. In a yin-yang universe, information can be used for good and for bad purposes. It all boils down to consciousness of the individual and the collective. That is basic human nature we have witnessed throughout our human history. Our present evolution is birthing a new human species: homo noeticus of light beings that will transform human civilization like never before. A

cosmic information-driven critical mass is happening notwithstanding our human failings. The old paradigm is crumbling, giving way to a truly interconnected/interdependent world. Social media is forming the noosphere for global activism. The top-down mainstream media like Murdoch’s will not survive the onslaught of the bottom-up

grassroots movements happening all over the world. The fundamental make up of the universe is changing society in an accelerating pace. A couple of years ago, Dr. David Suzuki made a striking insight about the Information Age. He said that there is SO much data out there that any skill person can make up information/disinformation at will and can back it up with data. A good example is the debate on recent climate change, both pros and cons. It also means that the average person cannot decipher the overwhelming complex news from so many sources. There are thousands, maybe

millions of such news sources. Many are contradictory. This mean that the general public can only lter the news on a general basis and any depth would need a specialist in a particular eld, such as quantum physics and consciousness, etc. We can no longer be all things to all people. This is the limited vision we see in the past and even today. However, with the new paradigm, this will change. All humans are in fact endowed with a priori intelligence which can be used to discern information using information resonance. The frequencies of vibrations will either match or don’t match the a priori intelligence. In this way, dissonance is ltered out. Personal control of information ow will be within reach and mass mind control will be a thing of the past. I have used this successfully for many years. I also rely on intersections of various perspectives and emerging patterns of happenings as there is order even in chaos. It is the one and many. Together with the fundamental make up of the universe, we are co-creating an evolving universe and a realty that we wish to see. John Won

TEEN JOURNEY

Rites of Passage

The vision for Teen Journey came to Ela Rezmer, an interior designer in Vancouver, BC and a mother of two teenage boys, in a remarkable and unexpected call from her heart. She saw that at this pivotal point in their lives, teenagers wake up and look around to see the world in a whole new light. They nd themselves caught between many opposing forces: the pull towards togetherness and belonging, and the push outwards for autonomy and freedom. This was the moment – between childhood and adulthood – when they needed to decide for themselves who they were and what course their lives would take. But what they nd is a gapping void in our society. Unlike most indigenous cultures, our westernized culture has no healthy process for young people to make one of the biggest transitions in their lives. “We all have seen it, or have experienced it ourselves,” says Ela from her home in Vancouver, ” This is when the hunger for ‘real life’ arises. We want something more. We yearn for adventure and signi cance. If something isn’t provided, then young people will create their own passage into adulthood, usually in ways that are dangerous and self-destructive such as gangs, drug abuse, and unsafe and too early sexual activity. Her vision was to create a community where teens could fully explore and discover themselves, their talents and their value. When logistics and expenses threatened to take over her life, the necessity of having a program like Teen Journey was reinforced by the shocking loss of one of her son’s closest friends. A brilliant student and talented young man, no one realized the depth of his confusion and isolation. He killed himself at age 17.

“

Rite of Passage to be met by First Nations leaders More than ever, Ela was determined to create a program to support teens and the journey they need to make if they are to become healthy, conscious, loving, responsible adults. She knew that each one of us has unique gifts, but teens are so caught up in peer pressure and self-judgment that they need to see who they are rst before they can contribute to their community and the world. By taking risks and stepping into the unknown, Teen Journey helps them to move beyond their fears and learn to trust their own power and creativity

For TEENS lodges, sculpture, re walking, meditation and vision questing. With the love and support of the leaders, mentors and most of all of each other, teens face and move beyond their fears to discover their true nature. But Teen Journey is more than just a one shot experience. It is backed by 12 months of youth circles that expand and deepen the understanding gained in the summer.

Special events allow the teens to b e m e n t o re d by wo rl d - c l a s s leaders to discover the hidden wisdom in the arts, alternative sciences, mythology and indigenous wisdom. Mentors provide ongoing support throughout the year, making themselves available to the teens as calm, safe con dantes in times of change and confusion. This summer is the third Teen Journey and like a living, breathing being it has evolved. This year for the rst time there will be no permanent campsite. A otilla of canoes will set out from Harrison Hot Springs and journey down the Fraser River.

At certain places, they will come ashore to be met by First Nations leaders who “As I spoke my vision, people just turned up,” Ela will welcome them and initiate them in says radiating with a calm that belies her triple Rites of Passage ceremonies. duties of mother, career woman and inspirational workshop designer. “I found the most amazing young people in their twenties who wanted to support their younger brothers and sisters in ways they had not been when they were that age. I found wise elders from many different traditions, healers and remarkable international leaders, some who lead courses worth thousands of dollars. They all gave of their time and expertise to bring Teen Journey into being.” Teen Journey became a summer program of safe, but profound exploratory tools such as sweat

For Adults By profoundly understanding what teens are awakening to, parents can more lovingly and effectively support their teens. “This is more than just a program, it’s an invitation for parents to initiate themselves into a conscious and heart centered community where we work together to nurture true human beings,” says Ela. “Our goal is to empower ourselves and one another, to exchange skills and to tap into our future role as true elders who are responsible for bringing up a future generation.”

This year is remarkable in yet another way. It is not just t e e n s w h o h a v e n o re a l guidance for the transitioning t i m e f ro m c h i l d h o o d t o adulthood. Parents too are left wondering how they can best support their young people as they themselves missed any Rites of Passage when they were that age.

“This program is open for all parents, not just those whose teens are enrolled in the Teen Journey program,” says Ela “Parenting is a long journey with many bumps along the road. How many people have realized that the tools that helped them parent their babies and young children are completely ineffective for parenting their teens?” But, as Ela explains, it is at this time that the journey for parents undergoes a profound shift as they are being challenged in ways they may never have been before. “Your beautiful, sweet children now question everything you do including who you are, the choices you have made and your morals.”

Ela feels that it’s important for parents to rediscover their own lost connections to their personal dreams.

The powerful Rites of Passage the teens experience at Teen Journey will be even more powerful when met with a shift in consciousness of the parents who choose to go on the Parent Journey this summer. Both parents and teens will learn some extraordinary tools to aid the cross generational communication and bring real community together again.

In the end, both Teen Journey and Parent Journey boil down to the same human questions we all must address: Who Are We? and What We Are Here For? In these times of fragmented community and loss of village, perhaps it’s time to discover the tools that will bring us back from the preoccupied busyness of daily life so that we can strengthen, clarify, and renew our purpose together. We all wish for a better world, there is no better way to ensure that comes into fruition than to nurture both ourselves and our teens. Teen Journey and Parent Journey are two inspired ways to make that happen this summer. - Michele Hal

At the request of many parents, the rst Parent Journey will take place this summer. In the two-day intensive, parents will have the opportunity to explore many of the same tools that the young people will be learning on Teen Journey.

By this time, of course, he had forgotten his native language and underwent the arduous process of ‘relearning’ his language and took part in a month-long Dagara initiation process to regain his culture. His story and his deep knowledge that stretched back to the dawn of humankind were just a few of the reasons why he Yesterday Malidoma Some had shared his was with us on this rst Teen Journey program remarkable story with 40 of us teenagers ranging What was even more remarkable was his interest in from 13 to 18 years old. He told us he had been me and my opinions. For anybody who knows me, born in Burkina Faso, formerly known as French they know I have strong views and never fail to West Africa, among the Dagara people. At four he speak my mind. Instead of arguing with me or was kidnapped by Jesuit missionaries whose policy dismissing me because I was only 14, Malidoma was to educate black Africans and convert them to listened deeply with great respect.

As I ate my cereal, his huge smile and gentle love lit up the room chasing away the remnants of my morning insularity.

- Alexandra Moss, a Teen Journey participant, age 16 A few months earlier my mother had placed a black and white sticker labelled ‘Who are you?’ on the mirror in our bathroom. She had signed me up for a camp, which I knew nothing about and had never heard of before. I assumed I’d be stuck for a week doing pointless camp activities and trying to bond with people I had nothing in common with. In fact, I dreaded the concept of going and with each week that passed, I started to hate this ‘Teen Journey’ more and more despite knowing nothing about it.

these people? Why do they care so much for the youth? Why are they trying to pull all of us, all these lost souls who have fallen in between the cracks of the system, out to shine in the light of self awareness and in their potential? The more I opened my ears, and my heart, to what the mentors said, the more I found myself in this program. I still stepped out of certain classes and responded to most of the adults with curses and brutal honesty, but they accepted me for it. In fact they embraced it.

Finally, the day came where I was woken up early, dragged to the car, and driven off (despite my constant p r o t e s t ) t o Te e n Journey. Throughout the long ride I complained loudly to my mother and when we got there, I met everyone will a sallow glare and an attitude that could put off the most open of hearts. Walking into a gym, I sat down as far away from everyone as I could. The mentors started to speak and looking around, I noticed that mostly ever yone had the same angsty, betrayed expression plastered on their faces. ‘Speak to the closest person on your left’ said one of the mentors, as she tried to rouse the masses of unhappy teenagers. I turned and looked. Next to me sat a boy slouching in his chair, sporting long dreadlocks and an in nite amount of necklaces. We looked at each other, and I said, “Do you want to go share a cigarette?

As the rst year of Teen Journey came to a close, I hugged everyone goodbye, telling them each how much they meant to me. Just a week ago, just 168 hours ago, these people were strangers. Now, they were my brothers and sisters. The closeness we all felt was not something I can accurately describe on paper or in words. It was like how people feel when they arrive home at the end of a long day of work, or the relief of the ocean on bare skin on a hot summer’s day. After almost three years of being a part of Teen Journey, I have learned and I am still learning much about myself and the rest of the world. I have found meaning, and I have found life mentors, and I have found people who will love me unconditionally and see me, always, as a beautiful soul. And for this, they have my eternal gratefulness.

In Case of Flood Climb to Higher Groun d

I grew up in a house that had half of the living area below ground level, and in the Midwest that meant it was subject to ooding — and ood it did. The amount of ooding would vary from storm to storm, but virtually every heavy downpour turned our home into a sinking house boat My parents did everything they could to keep the water at bay, but nothing worked, and cloudy skies always put the entire family on red alert. At the rst sight of a little water bubbling up through the drains in the basement oor, we all sprang into action, elevating furniture with stacks of bricks and hauling books, toys, and other irreplaceable “stuff” up the stairs to dry land. Most of the time, there was just a few inches of water, and the only fallout from the passing storm was a disgusting, thin layer of mud blanketing the oor of the basement. But on those occasions when the water rose to canoeing depth, there was little we could do but huddle together on the staircase and watch helplessly as Barbie oated by clinging to the roof of her dream house, and GI Joe Action Sailor backstroked his way across the family room I never understood why, after the rst ood season wiped out the new wicker couch with the Polynesianinspired tiki-print cushions, toppled the arti cial banana plant, and left the tropical sh to fend for themselves as their upended tank drifted away, my parents didn’t just sell the house and move someplace where we didn’t have to spend half our lives in crisis mode. My mother told us that Father knew best and he refused to move. She

Well, it seems there was this young woman who had been struggling with an endless string of life crises. Depressed and exhausted, she sought out a spiritual counselor for help. After listening to her client’s long and complex story of rejection, betrayal, disappointment and failure, the counselor calmed her d ow n l o n g e n o u g h t o suggest that they spend some time in prayer before proceeding. The woman turned a ghostly shade of pale, bolted upright in her chair, clutched her hands to her chest, and exclaimed in horror, “Oh, no! Has it come to that?!” When prayer becomes a last resort, rather than the first line of defense, we’re setting ourselves up for enough drama to sustain a multi-episode miniseries… with sequels. A heart-toheart with our Higher Power early on can interrupt a downward spiral before it becomes a dark (and stormy) night of the soul.

Did you hear the one about the counselor and the distraught client?

added that a little adversity was good for the soul, and we should resign ourselves to our soggy fate. So, when storms gathered, my siblings who lived in the ood zone below would toss as much as they could into plastic laundry baskets that were strategically placed around the basement level to facilitate a speedy evacuation, and then make a mad dash up the stairs that led to the higher ground of the upper oor. There they would set up camp in the living room and sing Kumbaya until the ood waters receded. Moving to higher ground in times of crisis just makes sense. Stormy days are part of the natural weather pattern and occasional heavy rain is to be expected; and unless you have ark making skills and your name happens to be Noah, hanging out in ood hazard zones can be… well… hazardous. It’s easy to get so caught up in trying to tread water through one ood after another that it never occurs to us to simply get out of the riverbed and climb to higher ground before we go under for the third time. The higher we’re willing to climb, the safer we are (and the better the view) Finding higher ground through prayer and meditation (however that looks for you) may require a major shift in consciousness, but remaining shift-less can leave us with more than just a sinking feeling. Ideally, we don’t build our spiritual homes in ood plains to begin with, but once the high waters overtake us, rushing into our living areas, there’s no time for “should haves;” we simply need to gather our most-valued possessions and begin the upward journey. The climb will be worth it

The Coded Secrets of the Mayans, Egyptians & Tibetans

Struggling to stay a oat with your dayto-day responsibilities as time speeds up before us? The intensity of 2011 in combination with the multi-layered energies that are unfolding before us are stirring humanity. We are fast approaching the energetic crescendo

SRI RAM KAA & KIRA RAA anticipated for 2012 Some recognize this stir and are meditating more, asking deeper questions and searching for resolution. They are using the energy to expand their discernment. Others have no idea what this “energy” is. They are acting out, feeling out of sync and doing their best to cope with the troubling pictures that the world is showing. The pictures being presented by the media are often lled with fearinducing images and content that feeds the stirring within. The bottom line is that whether you recognize this stirring or not, the experience is still the same

Humanity is at the point of clarity: everything is rapidly changing. Books can, and most likely are, being dedicated to the litany of what used to be and how things have shifted. Walk into any coffee bar or gathering space and chances are there will be at least one heated conversation about the direction of our planet. Tensions are high, tempers are aring and the energy of “us vs. them” has taken on new levels of intensity. News anchors shout at their guests and sensationalize topical events with opinionated coverage. Meanwhile Youtube, Twitter and Facebook support populist waves of information, in ammation and rising energy.

Collectively humanity has already activated an awakening, however few are aware of what that truly means and how to move forward through the awakening. For many, the awakening is feeling like a hangover and more coffee will not numb it

of the great traditions, this powerful secret has been kept alive through their trusted elders.

Eons ago we left ourselves messages and symbols that would survive the test of time. These symbols were created to come forward when we needed them most. Carried within our very DNA is the sum total of all experience, and within that experience is the collective memory that is once again being felt by all beings

They do not speak publicly of this gift. Nor do they teach it to others: For unless one is ready to go beyond the delight of the dream that we have co-created, the beauty of this gift is not ready to be embraced. And so the elders have waited…patiently…for humanity to re-awaken. That moment is now.

Buried deeply within the codes of the Mayan Calendar, The Egyptian and Tibetan Books of the Dead, and well beyond Einstein’s string theory is the “Uni cation Molecule”™. This little known “clue to humanity’s future” is an e m b e d d e d s e c re t t h a t h a s b e e n misunderstood by many. Yet, within each

What is this clue that seems to have de ed humanity until this moment? It is known simply as the Uni cation Molecule™, and it is re-awakening in all of humanity. This deeply embedded energy goes beyond any known strands of DNA, and has many names in many traditions. It is propelling us toward what some call the Zero Point idea that we are in a new ow. Certainly the Age we are in is coming to an end…so what does that mean? Witnessing so much transition, chaos and stimulation, one seeks to unify it in some way: to derive meaning rather than just feeling the constant bombardment of chaos

While many are still pondering December 21, 2012 and the Mayan calendar, Sri & Kira live with the Mayan elders in Guatemala and clearly show why Now is the Sunrise of humanity, the natural evolution of the experience of humanity's dark night.

The high Council of the Mayan Elders has decided it is time to speak. They have allowed the Uni cation Molecule™ to open them to new action. What these humble men have to say may shock you. What they need to share may challenge all you hold as true, and what they bring to the world is needed… right now The Ancient Egyptian Dynasties are preparing to resurrect through the Uni cation Molecule™ that has been held secret for centuries.

his way through the uni ed eld theory. He left the planet not ever fully proving his theories about the oneness of all energy. Yet, he was clear that it existed. What was elusive for him was actually already present and available within the ancient traditions, however he solely sought to prove his theories through science, which is often devoid of heart Movies such as the Transcendent Man, featuring Ray Kurzweil, suggest that in order for us to survive we must deprioritize our humanity and quite literally blend with technology. He suggests that the future will require us to implant chips so that we can “keep up” with information technology and other advancements. In short, he suggests that we will be dependent upon technology for our survival; that being a human will not be enough Is humanity being pulled to a new way of living that will challenge everything we have ever known? And more importantly, will we survive the transition Anyone who has been in a true partnership with another person recognizes there is a stage one passes through where autonomy seems to be lost. Yet, the expansion of love, trust and capacity that come through the partnership experience quickly dissolve any egoic need for a smaller self. Technology, for the most part, is an extension of the brain. It is intended to support us, not enslave us! It was Einstein himself who shared: “Information is NOT knowledge!” Yet the fascination with information and technology often loses knowledge in the chatter Information, and even knowledge, requires Wisdom for it to be harmonious and bene cial. Wisdom comes from holding a greater context to apply knowledge gained. We are at the glorious moment where we are learning how to harness the Quantum elds to further ignite our harmony in conjunction with spirit Many people are fascinated by the Mayan calendar and the idea that we are in a new ow. Certainly the Age we are in is coming to an end…so what does that mean? Witnessing so much transition, chaos and stimulation, one seeks to unify it in some way: to derive meaning rather than just feeling the constant bombardment of chaos

66 !

This unsettled experience is the energy that has called forward the Uni cation Molecule™ again! It can be frightening to our egos as we are called to lift into a transcendent context. This unifying particle of energy ows through you and causes you to “sense” at a greater level. It often gifts you with inner knowing and greater future vision. It is the common seed that exists within all beings and is the essential energy that ows through your heart and allows it to expand.
