THE RICE EXPERIMENT

Lots of people have been asking me what the hell this is all about, so I decided to post about it. The idea iS not new, with movies like THE SECRET and WHAT THE BLEEP DO YOU KNOW out there raising all sort of questions about the affects of human thought on reality I thought I would take a stab at it. The results were so amazing I encourage everyone to try it for themselves, here is what you will need.
1. 2 Classico pasta sauce jars, cleaned and sterilized in boiling water. (Any glass jar will do I just took advantage of my rampant pasta addiction)
2. 1 red and 1 blue marker
3. post it notes
4. 2 cups cooked rice (any kind will do)
5. time and a suspense of disbelief
Place 1 cup of the cooked rice in each jar. Microbes grow best between 4C and 60C (40F-140F) so putting the rice in hot will encourage rapid growth. Using the post-it-notes with the red marker label one jar "Hateful stupid rice" and the other in blue "Grateful loving rice". Put the lids on and place in somewhere where they will get your attention ( I put them out of the way at first, but if they are visible you are more likely to pay attention to them which is the purpose of this experiment). Every day ( every time you have see them is better) tell the grateful rice how good and wonderful it is and let the insults fly on the stupid rice. If you feel silly you can simply read the label, keeping in mind that you must direct your attention accordingly. As you get used to speaking to inanimate objects work on directing emotion as well, I try and use emotions that I am experiencing to my advantage. If I am feeling particularly angry or upset I take it out on the rice, and vice versa.
The visible affects do not get dramatic for some time so it is good if you have a digital camera to document the progression, otherwise you wont have a frame of reference for comparison as the changes manifest themselves.
For more information on this phenomenon check out Dr. Emoto's message from water, and the Global consciousness project, I have posted more photos of the rice experiment in my online album and on facebook. -T

YOUR NOT WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE, NOTHING IS

In the most recent edition of SEED MAGAZINE a picture on page 36 caught my attention. They generated an image by sorting 800,000 published studies into 776 different scientific paradigms based on how often the papers were cited together by authors of other papers. Links were made between the paradigms that shared papers, and the result was nothing less than profound. After I saw that picture I was practically foaming at the mouth to read Charles Seife’s new book on information theory DECODING THE UNIVERSE. After a heated battle with understanding k log 2 (suck my dick Schrodinger!), and a little math brush-up I really got to the meat of this book quickly, (not nearly as fast as your bitchy girlfriend got to mine). Focusing on the link between entropy and information theory Seife draws connections between scientific paradigms and fills the holes we find in relativity and quantum theory. With implications that go far beyond the regular run of the mill SCI-FI techno weenie fantasies, I found myself seeing the limitless possibilities of information theory in everything from making babies to particle physics to ham sandwiches (three of my favorite things). Just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how much we are going to be changing our ideas of how the universe works. An awesome read for anyone that gives a shit.

WELL, IT CERTAINLY RAISES A LOT OF QUESTIONS

Plasma cosmology, unified field theory and electric stars, are just around the corner when it comes to how we understand the way the universe works. Previously defined concepts of the model of the universe ( like the Big Bang and the idea that the universe is held together with gravity ) are more and more coming under intense scrutiny from the scientific world. To get a "not too technical" look at the concepts behind the new theories you can watch THUNDERBOLTS OF THE GODS, a showcase of how plasma cosmology punches some pretty huge friggin holes in the working Big Bang model. But don't worry, we still have a long way to go before the new theory brings the scientific community to its knees, there are still more questions than answers. In the meantime we should probably focus on how to get off this planet and check out the rest of existence.

MORE IMPORTANTLY, COULD IT BEAT ME AT HALO?

Have you heard about the CEMI ( conscious electromagnetic field theory ) ? It basically sums up the electro-haze hanging around our gray matter. previously presumed to be pseudoscience, it is now accepted for protoscience and will soon play a very significant role in the search for artificial intelligence. You can get a pretty in depth description of the theory at http://www.surrey.ac.uk/qe/cemi.html
the most interesting part of the rather technical theory was the proposed applications in its use for mapping a guide to a working A.I. model. Worth a read if you give a crap.

WEB ALBUMS MADE EASY

I just got through making my first online photo album with Picasa 2. Pretty handy little program, makes uploading and web based photo hosting real easy. Although I think you have to have a gmail account to use it.

The West Coast Connection

Check it out, there isn't a whole lot in there right now but it's a work in progress.
Enjoy
