In repurposing her wheelchair to create fantastical art, Sue Austin reshapes how we think about disability. Full bio »
When Sue Austin got a power chair 16 years ago, she felt a tremendous sense of freedom -- yet others looked at her as though she had lost something. In her art, she aims to convey the spirit of wonder she feels wheeling through the world. Includes thrilling footage of an underwater wheelchair that lets her explore ocean beds, drifting through schools of fish, floating free in 360 degrees. (Filmed at TEDxWomen.) In repurposing her wheelchair to create fantastical art, Sue Austin reshapes how we think about disability. Full bio » TED Conversations: Got an idea, question, or debate inspired by this talk?

Terrific presentation on our profoundly wrong education system and its stifling effect on human creativity…with a lot of fun along the way. Bravo. – Zen http://www.zengardner.com/ 1 January 2013: A Happy New Year to you all.
So we made it to 2013 despite all the hype about 21 December 2012 being 'the end of the world' (which was never the message of the Mayans). Whilst many people experienced no change on this date, others experienced significant spiritual changes and awakenings. For those of you who did not experience anything significant on 21 December 2012 - do not be tempted to 'go back to sleep', thinking that it was all a great fuss about nothing. We are within a vast celestial process and the wheels are still turning, drawing us ever closer to great changes within Mother Earth, Humanity, our solar system and - by extension - this entire universe. This is part of the Prologue to 'The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch', 'A Teaching Given On Seven Levels to be Read and Visualised In Preparation for the Brotherhood of Light to be delivered for the quickening of the "People of Light" ' a vast and complex metaphysical classic containing information given in visions to the author, Dr J J Hurtak, by the biblical Master Ophanim Enoch and Metatron: "We live in dynamic times when humanity is waking up to the implications of a greater transformation and the reality that we are part of a much greater consciousness universe. ....our human nature is non-local and multidimensional, having vast capabilities and endowments of a Divine birthright coded within us that reveals how we are universal beings working within a Higher Evolutionary Plan. Love from the highest levels is penetrating the planetary veils. .....we are inherently Light beings. Graduation is upon us and with it comes a new sense of Oneness with the myriad worlds of our Father's House of Many Mansions. .... the human race is embarking upon a vast discovery that we are a vehicle for the Quantum Mind, Quantum Body and Quantum Spirit to participate together and be prepared to work and interact with a wide variety of life forms from other multi-universes. ..... we enter the higher dimensions of thought-form creativity and operate as One with the Eternal Mind of the I AM. We are in the midst of a change in the life code, and the experiences of the world around us in all its brilliance and eternal recurrence are preparing us as Sons and Daughters of Life to awaken to our own Divine creative process, that has its unity in the Human/God partnership." Remain alert, Awake and Aware; remember Who You Are as an eternal spiritual being, an expression of the Infinite and Eternal Creator through a physical body; live in Love, not fear ........ and expect the unexpected! Love, Light, peace and healing Messenger Spirit See also: http://www.2012spiritual.info/book-of-knowledge-keys-of-enoch-extract.html and: http://www.2012spiritual.info/the-reconnectionregreconnective-healingreg.html and: http://www.2012spiritual.info/recommended-booksauthors.html - 'The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch' Spirit Science 11_11 ~ Dna Activation Published on 1 Oct 2012 A popular question/discussion popping up lately is the nature of DNA Activation. How do you activate your DNA, and what does it mean to have Activated DNA at all? DNA Activation is a reconnection of your original blueprints for life to a higher degree, and as you continue on your path of life you will connect yourself back to yourself deeper and deeper. The Answer of course lies in the connections made within the sacred space of the heart, which can be accessed by breathing, focusing on your heart (Organ & Chakra), and practicing unconditional love of ALL. Love is not just an affection of another or a feeling you get, but a pure vibration that which everything resonates to at its core, and if one can feel from the space of the heart, one can truly know themselves. It is a choice, and if you choose to follow a path that is destructive, then you will continue to create exactly that. Namaste!

We are co-creating a reality together that allow for the transmutation of all negative energy into a bright and vibrant reality that we WANT to create - and we can do it together, and through Love and the Sacred Space in our hearts. Part 2 coming soon. To learn more, check out www.thespiritscience.net, there are plenty of additional videos and resources that discuss this information on the resources page/series pages.

In other words, we live multiple lives. Edgar Cayce tells us that the little book that is sweet in the mouth and bitter in the belly is the "Book of Life" or "book of remembrance" that contains the story of our past lives as well as our present incarnation. So the self-analysis process goes on and on - we are constantly being given the opportunity to know ourselves. This is part of the initiation, the purification of mental and emotional patterns that we carry over from one existence to another. In Chapter Eleven the mighty angel that gave John the book, tells him that two witnesses will be given the power to prophesy and testify. They will be killed and after three days will be raised up and ascend into heaven. Cayce tells us that the two witnesses, also symbolized as two trees and two candlesticks, represent our past lives in the earth (reincarnation) and our past lives in other realms (planetary sojourns associated with astrology).

It's not a joke, it's not religious, it's not political. It's just . . . special. I think you'll agree. Please enjoy this one minute clip. It has a meaning for all of us. After winning re-election, President Obama is on top of the world. Seriously. A group of high school students in Bishop, California, has launched a Barack Obama bobblehead to the edge of space using a suborbital helium balloon. Here is a picture of the president on Nov. 5th approximately 120,000 feet above Earth's surface: This flight was conducted by the same students who earlier this year launched NASA's rubber chicken into a solar storm to sample high protons from the sun. "Sending Obama into the stratosphere was just for fun," says team member Amelia Phillips. "But it was good practice for more serious projects, such as our flights to measure solar flares and photograph meteor showers." The group, which calls itself "Earth to Sky Calculus," has been flying suborbital helium research balloons for two years; this is the first time the President has gone for a ride.
Images and video from the flight are still being processed. Here are some first looks: Video: Obama at 120,000 feet (8 MB); the balloon pops (1.2 MB); The President's wild ride (19 MB); Still images: Fractured balloon; Obama over Mono Lake; Mitt was there, too! www.spaceweather.com Spirit Science 7 : Dimensions Uploaded by TheSpiritScience on 1 Jan 2012
This week, Patchman takes you on a quest to understand the dimensional levels, and where we are on that scale. We also take a look at some Particle Physics, and touch upon Leonardo Da Vinci! Everything in the universe is frequency and vibration, this is scientific fact. This vibration is also infinite, and flows harmonically through octaves. It works through colour, music, and even the Chakras!

A NASA spacecraft has recorded eerie-sounding radio emissions coming from our own planet. These beautiful "Songs of Earth" could, ironically, be responsible for the proliferation of deadly electrons in the Van Allen Belts.

Hidden deep within our past, lies a secret that has been long forgotten. There have been various organizations throughout history that have protected its secret, The Masons for example have done just that. What are we talking about? It's the ancient secret of the Flower of Life. www.thespiritscience.net Twitter - @spiritsciences Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/thespiritscience The Flower of Life books - http://www.mediafire.com/?4zx4y9mhasjg5nz Spiral of Light - http://www.spiraloflight.com/ls_sacred.html On Wednesday Sept. 5th a group of California high school students celebrated the 35th anniversary of the launch of Voyager 1 in an unusual way: they launched a rubber chicken. The popular NASA mascot Camilla traveled to the top of our planet's atmosphere on board a suborbital helium balloon. Here is a snapshot from an altitude of approximately 120,000 feet: Camilla is wearing headphones. Why? Because she's listening to the Golden iPod, the modern-day successor to the Golden Records bolted to the side of the Voyager probes. The students are updating the Golden Records with 21st-century content that the students would like to send into the cosmos. This was just a test flight; in 2013, they hope to launch the Golden iPod into Earth orbit onboard a CubeSat they are building.
At the apex of the Sept. 5th suborbital flight, the helium balloon popped as planned and Camilla parachuted back to Earth. The students, who call their group "Earth to Sky," recovered Camilla and the Golden iPod from a remote landing site in the Nevada wilderness on Sept. 6th. Now they are all enjoying music that has been to the doorstep of space itself. More information about the flight and the recovery expedition may be found at Earth to Sky's Facebook page. Students who wish to participate in the Golden iPod project can submit their ideas for the iPod's playlist at goldenipod.org. www.spaceweather.com Spirit Science 5 - The Keys of Our Past Uploaded by TheSpiritScience on 30 Dec 2011
In this lesson, we cover 3 topics, ranging from alien life, all the way to the precession of the Equinox. Human history is more than we know. Go watch the Discovery Channel documentary "Mystery of the Sphinx" on Youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PotS7hPQZTU I couldn't resist including this! I've seen it a few times and it always makes me chuckle. I hope you enjoy it. Messenger Spirit Creative high schools students give a great rendition of Halleluia! |
