To
disregard the problems facing the Earth and to proceed with business as
usual in education would be a betrayal of trust. Our students want to
know how to make a difference. They need hope. And it won’t come if all
we can offer is another scientific theory or technological fix. We must
expand our vision to seek non-scientific alternatives. To make a
difference, we must search for different understandings. Let us look to
the wisdom of our ancestors. They believed that intelligence is
not restricted to humans but is possessed by all creatures – plants as
well as animals — and by the Earth itself.
They also believed in
spirits. Human welfare was understood to depend on tapping into these
wellsprings of wisdom, and all ancient societies (just like indigenous
peoples today) had specialists skilled in communication with the natural
world and with spirits. These people we now call shamans, and this
article argues for the inclusion of shamanic practice in the educational
curriculum. Shamanism gives working access to an alternative technique
of acquiring knowledge. Although a pragmatic, time-tested system, it
makes no claim to be science. Its strengths and limitations are
different from those of the sciences and thus complement them. Being
affective and subjective, shamanism offers another way of knowing.
Reason
sets the boundaries far too narrowly for us, and would have us accept
only the known – and that too with limitations – and live in a known
framework, just as if we were sure how far life actually extends. . . .
The more the critical reason dominates, the more impoverished life
becomes. . . . Overvalued reason has this in common with political
absolutism: under its dominion the individual is pauperised. – Carl Jung
Of
course science will offer some valuable new directions, but at the same
time we must expand our vision to seek non-scientific alternatives. To
make a difference, we must search for different understandings. I
am fortunate to live in a country, New Zealand, where many of my
compatriots have an understanding of past and future that is
fundamentally different from the prevailing ‘Western’ view. Most in our
civilisation consider it self-evident that we stand facing the future
with the past behind us, but traditionally for New Zealand Maori it is
the future that is behind them.

Relativity versus quantum mechanics: the battle for the universe
Physicists have spent decades trying to reconcile two very different theories. But is a winner about to emerge – and transform our understanding of everything from time to gravity?
Illustration by Owen Gildersleeve
It is the biggest of problems, it is the smallest of problems. At present physicists have two separate rulebooks explaining how nature works. There is general relativity, which beautifully accounts for gravity and all of the things it dominates: orbiting planets, colliding galaxies, the dynamics of the expanding universe as a whole. That’s big. Then there is quantum mechanics, which handles the other three forces – electromagnetism and the two nuclear forces. Quantum theory is extremely adept at describing what happens when a uranium atom decays, or when individual particles of light hit a solar cell. That’s small.
Now for the problem: relativity and quantum mechanics are fundamentally different theories that have different formulations. It is not just a matter of scientific terminology; it is a clash of genuinely incompatible descriptions of reality.
The conflict between the two halves of physics has been brewing for more than a century – sparked by a pair of 1905 papers by Einstein, one outlining relativity and the other introducing the quantum – but recently it has entered an intriguing, unpredictable new phase. Two notable physicists have staked out extreme positions in their camps, conducting experiments that could finally settle which approach is paramount.
Basically you can think of the division between the relativity and quantum systems as “smooth” versus “chunky”. In general relativity, events are continuous and deterministic, meaning that every cause matches up to a specific, local effect. In quantum mechanics, events produced by the interaction of subatomic particles happen in jumps (yes, quantum leaps), with probabilistic rather than definite outcomes. Quantum rules allow connections forbidden by classical physics. This was demonstrated in a much-discussed recent experiment in which Dutch researchers defied the local effect. They showed that two particles – in this case, electrons – could influence each other instantly, even though they were a mile apart. When you try to interpret smooth relativistic laws in a chunky quantum style, or vice versa, things go dreadfully wrong.
Relativity gives nonsensical answers when you try to scale it down to quantum size, eventually descending to infinite values in its description of gravity. Likewise, quantum mechanics runs into serious trouble when you blow it up to cosmic dimensions. Quantum fields carry a certain amount of energy, even in seemingly empty space, and the amount of energy gets bigger as the fields get bigger. According to Einstein, energy and mass are equivalent (that’s the message of E=mc2), so piling up energy is exactly like piling up mass. Go big enough, and the amount of energy in the quantum fields becomes so great that it creates a black hole that causes the universe to fold in on itself. Oops.
‘Quantum mechanics provided the conceptual tools for the Large Hadron Collider.’ Photograph: Rex Features Craig Hogan, a theoretical astrophysicist at the University of Chicago and the director of the Center for Particle Astrophysics at Fermilab, is reinterpreting the quantum side with a novel theory in which the quantum units of space itself might be large enough to be studied directly. Meanwhile, Lee Smolin, a founding member of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, is seeking to push physics forward by returning to Einstein’s philosophical roots and extending them in an exciting direction.
To understand what is at stake, look back at the precedents. When Einstein unveiled general relativity, he not only superseded Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity; he also unleashed a new way of looking at physics that led to the modern conception of the Big Bang and black holes, not to mention atomic bombs and the time adjustments essential to your phone’s GPS. Likewise, quantum mechanics did much more than reformulate James Clerk Maxwell’s textbook equations of electricity, magnetism and light. It provided the conceptual tools for the Large Hadron Collider, solar cells, all of modern microelectronics.
What emerges from the dust-up could be nothing less than a third revolution in modern physics, with staggering implications. It could tell us where the laws of nature came from, and whether the cosmos is built on uncertainty or whether it is fundamentally deterministic, with every event linked definitively to a cause.

The
physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla was the first to carry out wireless
energy experiments at Colorado Springs, USA, which produced such
powerful electrical tensions that they resulted in the creation of
artificial lightning. These lightning flashes also produced radio waves.
Due to their extremely low frequency these waves could penetrate the
earth without resistance and thereby Tesla discovered the resonance
frequency of the earth. Unfortunately Tesla was before his time and his
discoveries were not taken seriously.
Confirmed in 1954 when
measurements by Schumann and König detected resonances at a main
frequency of 7.83 Hz. In the years following this discovery, several
investigators worldwide have researched "Schumann resonance" and a
number of properties and characteristics have now been established.
Schumann Resonance Properties
The
spherical earth-ionosphere cavity is created by the conductive surface
of the earth and the outer boundary of the ionosphere, separated by
non-conducting air. Electromagnetic impulses are generated by electrical
discharges such as lightning, the main excitation source, and spread
laterally into the cavity. Lightning discharges have a "high-frequency
component", involving frequencies between 1 kHz and 30 kHz, followed by a
"low-frequency component" consisting of waves and frequencies below 2
kHz and gradually increasing amplitude. This produces electromagnetic
waves in the very low frequency (VLF) and extremely low frequency (ELF)
ranges.
ELF waves at 3 Hz to 300 Hz are propagated as more or less
strongly attenuated waves in the space between the earth and the
ionosphere, which provides a waveguide for the signals. Certain
wavelengths circumnavigate the earth with little attenuation due to the
fact that standing waves are formed within the cavity, the circumference
of which is "approximately equal to the wavelength which an
electromagnetic wave with a frequency of about 7.8 Hz would have in free
space" (König, 1979, p34). It is the waves of this frequency and its
harmonics at 14, 20, 26, 33, 39 and 45 Hz that form Schumann Resonances.
Dr
König carried out further measurements of Schumann resonance and
eventually arrived at a frequency of exactly 7.83 Hz, which is even more
interesting, as this frequency is one which applies to mammals. For
instance, septal driving of the hippocampal rhythm in rats has been
found to have a minimum threshold at 7.7 Hz (Gray, 1982).
This
relationship has been explored by a number of investigators. For further
information see Natural electromagnetic fields research on the h.e.s.e.
project website.
YIN and YANG
During his research Dr Ludwig came
across the ancient Chinese teachings which state that Man needs two
environmental signals: the YANG (masculine) signal from above and the
YIN (feminine) signal from below. This description fits the relatively
strong signal of the Schumann wave surrounding our planet being YANG and
the weaker geomagnetic waves coming from below, from within the planet,
being the YIN signal
Research carried out by E.Jacobi at the
University of Duesseldorf showed that the one sided use of Schumann
(YANG) wave simulation without the geomagnetic (YIN) signal caused
serious health problems. On the other hand, the absence of Schumann
waves creates a similar situation.
Mankind depends on two subtle environmental signals, the Yin from below and the Yang from above.

This
video takes you on a journey through various levels of meditational
understanding and starts by exposing you to THE NOW and what it's all
about. Then you are taken inwards to your inner self, and finally you
are taken beyond yourself to find your true place in the universe. Sound
complicated? It isn't. Oh, and it has absolutely nothing to do with
Hypnosis or anything like that - it is quite safe to go on this journey -
and it it likely you will arrive feeling serene, relaxed and with a
whole new understanding about yourself and where you fit.
First
produced in 2006, this video has been very popular and was updated in
2008 and 2011. To fully appreciate this video, you need to set aside a
full 30 minutes of undisturbed time. ENJOY!
