What is Your Personality Theme?

The heroes of mythology are called archetypes — perennial personality themes stored in the collective, universal mind.

These themes are representations of our collective yearnings, imagination, and deepest desires. These themes have existed forever. We see them in the writings of ancient cultures, and in literature throughout the ages. Their shapes shift depending on where we are in history, but their core remains the same.

These archetypes appear in our modern-day movies, television soap operas, and tabloid newspapers. Anytime a person or character seems “bigger than life,” we are seeing the enactment of an archetype. These characters are usually presented as uncomplicated and with purity of intent, regardless of what that intent may be.

Divine or diabolical, sacred or profane, sinner or saint, adventurer, sage, seeker, rescuer, redeemer – all are exaggerated expressions of the conscious energy of the collective mind.

Archetypes are born of the collective mind, but they are enacted by individuals. Their mythical dramas play out daily in our physical world. Every human being is attuned to some archetype, or even two or three archetypes. Every one of us is hardwired at the level of the soul to enact or model archetypal characteristics. They are seeds sown within us — our personality theme.

The activation of an archetype releases its patterning forces that allow us to become more of what we are destined to become. And our individual archetypes are reflected in our desires or intentions. They become our personality theme.

So… really who are you? What do you want? What is the purpose of your existence? Do YOU want to discover your most powerful personality theme, or archetype, and claim it on a deep cellular level? Start Today!

Is Time Travel Real?

Time travel in the brain

Time travel in the brain

Is Time Travel Real?  Is it?  What are you doing when you aren’t doing anything at all?  If you said “nothing,” then you have just passed a test in logic and flunked a test in neuroscience.

When people perform mental tasks–adding numbers, comparing shapes, identifying faces–different areas of their brains become active, and brain scans show these active areas as brightly colored squares on an otherwise dull gray background.

But researchers have recently discovered that when these areas of our brains light up, other areas go dark. This dark network (which comprises regions in the frontal, parietal and medial temporal lobes) is off when we seem to be on, and on when we seem to be off.

If you climbed into an MRI machine and lay there quietly, waiting for instructions from a technician, the dark network would be as active as a beehive. But the moment your instructions arrived and your task began, the bees would freeze and the network would fall silent. When we appear to be doing nothing, we are clearly doing something. But what?

The answer, it seems, is time travel.

The human body moves forward in time at the rate of one second per second whether we like it or not. But the human mind can move through time in any direction and at any speed it chooses.

Our ability to close our eyes and imagine the pleasures of Super Bowl Sunday or remember the excesses of New Year’s Eve is a fairly recent evolutionary development, and our talent for doing this is unparalleled in the animal kingdom.

We are a race of time travelers, unfettered by chronology and capable of visiting the future or revisiting the past whenever we wish. If our neural time machines are damaged by illness, age or accident, we may become trapped in the present. Alzheimer’s disease, for instance, specifically attacks the dark network, stranding many of its victims in an endless now, unable to remember their yesterdays or envision their tomorrows.

Why did evolution design our brains to go wandering in time? Perhaps it’s because an experience is a terrible thing to waste. Moving around in the world exposes organisms to danger, so as a rule they should have as few experiences as possible and learn as much from each as they can.

Although some of life’s lessons are learned in the moment (“Don’t touch a hot stove”), others become apparent only after the fact (“Now I see why she was upset. I should have said something about her new dress”). Time travel allows us to pay for an experience once and then have it again and again at no additional charge, learning new lessons with each repetition. When we are busy having experiences–herding children, signing checks, battling traffic–the dark network is silent, but as soon as those experiences are over, the network is awakened, and we begin moving across the landscape of our history to see what we can learn–for free.

Animals learn by trial and error, and the smarter they are, the fewer trials they need. Traveling backward buys us many trials for the price of one, but traveling forward allows us to dispense with trials entirely. Just as pilots practice flying in flight simulators, the rest of us practice living in life simulators, and our ability to simulate future courses of action and preview their consequences enables us to learn from mistakes without making them.

We don’t need to bake a liver cupcake to find out that it is a stunningly bad idea; simply imagining it is punishment enough. The same is true for insulting the boss and misplacing the children. We may not heed the warnings that prospection provides, but at least we aren’t surprised when we wake up with a hangover or when our waists and our inseams swap sizes.

The dark network allows us to visit the future, but not just any future. When we contemplate futures that don’t include us–Will the NASDAQ be up next week? Will Hillary run in 2008?–the dark network is quiet. Only when we move ourselves through time does it come alive.

Perhaps the most startling fact about the dark network isn’t what it does but how often it does it. Neuroscientists refer to it as the brain’s default mode, which is to say that we spend more of our time away from the present than in it.

People typically overestimate how often they are in the moment because they rarely take notice when they take leave. It is only when the environment demands our attention–a dog barks, a child cries, a telephone rings–that our mental time machines switch themselves off and deposit us with a bump in the here and now. We stay just long enough to take a message and then we slip off again to the land of Elsewhen, our dark networks awash in light.

Scientific Proof ESP is Real

Natural ESP PowersCould we all be naturally psychic and have ESP powers? Scientists now say “yes.”

One of the most surprising discoveries of modern physics is that objects aren’t as separate as they  seem. When you drill down into the core of even the most solid-looking material, separateness simply dissolves.

All that remains are relationships extending curiously throughout space and time. These connections were predicted by quantum theory and were called “spooky action at a distance” by Einstein. One founders of quantum theory, Erwin Schradinger, referred to this peculiarity as ”entanglement.”

The sense of reality suggested by entanglement is very unlike the world of everyday experience. For years many physicists accepted that the microscopic world of elementary particles could become entangled, but this was  assumed  to have no practical consequences. 

That view is changing rapidly.  Scientists now say the effects of microscopic entanglements scale up into our everyday world. Entangled connections between atomic-sized objects have been found to persist over many miles. It seems as though what we call reality could be made up of  holistic “threads” that aren’t located precisely in space or time.

Some scientists suggest that the remarkable degree of coherence displayed in living systems might depend on entanglement. Others suggest that conscious awareness is caused or related in some important way to entangled particles in the brain. Modern string theory even proposes that the entire universe is a single, self-entangled object.

What if these speculations are correct? Would we occasionally have odd feelings of connectedness with loved ones at a distance? Could entangled minds be what lets you instantly know who’s calling when the phone rings?

Science is at very earliest stages understanding entanglement,  but what we’ve seen so far provides a new way of thinking about extrasensory perception (ESP). There’s now substantial evidence  paranormal experiences are both real and normal.

No longer are paranormal experiences like ESP regarded as rare human talents.  ESP is a natural consequence of  our interconnected, entangled physical reality.
