EXPRESSION IS ABOUT

Prayer is an earnest desire that we take to God (aka The Divine, The Source) for fulfillment.  But not all of our desires are fulfilled.  For many, few, if any, of their prayers bring the results that they are seeking.  Yet,  prayer has been proven to be effective .  Why do some prayers work while others fail?  Is there a formula for success?  Read on. “ Quantum mechanics is now telling us unambiguously that consciousness creates reality . ” – Bernard Haisch Before we get to the success formula, eliminate any thoughts in your mind that prayer is the same as begging God for a favor, and God chooses whether or not to grant this favor. We live in a participatory universe in which we co-create our reality with The Source.  Everything that we see in the material world is a projection of our thoughts.  The laws of the universe apply to all equally and unfailingly. Everything in the universe is energy including our prayers. The more energetically charged the prayer, the more likely and t

How Chagall, Sendak, Hockney, and Other Artists Staged the Fantasies of ‘The Magic Flute’ by  Allison Meier  on  July 21, 2016 Costumes and masks designed by Marc Chagall in 1966 for the Metropolitan Opera, on view in ‘Magical Designs for Mozart’s Magic Flute’ at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center (all photos by the author for Hyperallergic) As an opera where a colossal snake and enchanted instrument play a pivotal role, perhaps it’s no surprise Mozart’s  The Magic Flute  inspired some fantastic set and costume designs since its debut in 1791. Maurice Sendak, David Hockney, Marc Chagall, and William Kentridge all tried their hand at expressing the chaotic realm of the Queen of the Night and the orderly dominion of Sarastro. Their art is included among the 18 productions in  Magical Designs for Mozart’s Magic Flute  at the  New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in Lincoln Center , organized in collaborat

The Properties of Space Science works best when in harmony with nature. If we put these two together, we can discover great technologies that can only come about when the consciousness of the planet is ready to embrace them. One example is “free energy,” also known as “zero-point energy,” which utilizes the substance that exists all around us and converts it into usable energy. This would give us a limitless source of energy, and would practically wipe out all poverty on the planet. (more on this later in the article) The properties of space have been postulated by many, from ancient Vedic philosophy, Eastern Mystics, various ancient civilizations throughout human history all the way to Descartes, Einstein, Newton and more. Humans are curious beings, and our quest to discover “what is” will never end. “And they allowed Apollonius to ask questions; and he asked them of what they thought the cosmos was composed; but they replied; “Of elements.” “Are there then four?”  he asked.  “

We’re intrigued by scientific advancement and futures but also scared by them. It’s been said, only half-joking, that the only people who welcome change are wet babies. So I’m pleased that today’s  The Eminents Interview is with Michio Kaku. He is arguably the world’s most famous science popularizer. Although a professor of theoretical physics at the City University of New York, he has written three  New York Times  best sellers, including a #1 bestseller,  The Future of the Mind , which the  Times ' book review called “compelling” and  Nature   called “fascinating.” He has hosted TV specials for BBC, Discovery Channel, and Science Channel. Marty Nemko:  You’re known for your long-term predictions. Have any shorter ones? Michio Kaku:   We’re already able to upload some simple  memories  in mice and soon in primates. Pretty soon, we should be able to do so with Alzheimer’s patients. And perhaps they’ll be able to use a  brain  pacemaker : a button that a wandering patient can

The psoas major muscle (pronounced “so-as”) is often referred to as the deepest core, or as yoga therapist and film-maker  Danielle Olson  states, the “ muscle of the soul .” This core-stabilizing muscle located near the hip bone affects mobility, structural balance, joint function, flexibility, and much more. In addition to its function to help keep the body upright and moving, the psoas is believed to allow you to connect with the present moment especially when it is stretched out and tension is released from the body. Research  indicates that the psoas is vital to our psychological wellbeing in addition to structural health. Liz Koch, author of  The Psoas Book , states that our psoas “literally embodies our deepest urge for survival, and more profoundly, our elemental desire to flourish.” This means that there is a lot more to the psoas than one might initially think. It is entirely possible to harness healing pranic energy and improve mental health by keeping the psoas healthy.
