Clip: Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes
If you're interested in history, stats, and human development then you'll cream over this.
Hans Rosling's famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport's commentator's style to reveal the story of the world's past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before - using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of 'The Joy of Stats' he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers - in just four minutes. Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.

Article: Talking to God
A friend sent me this today and it proved to be one of the most interesting things i've read about in like 6 months.
It's hard to explain it. Just begin reading, it'll either spark something in you and you wont blink until the end, or you'll get a quarter way through, laugh, and close it. It'll be interpreted in a range of different ways depending on who you are, but i'm absolutely certain that there will be a select few out there who will get something from this.
--------------------------------
I met god the other day.
I know what you’re thinking. How the hell did you know it was god?
Well, I’ll explain as we go along, but basically he convinced me by having all, and I do mean ALL, the answers. Every question I flung at him he batted back with a plausible and satisfactory answer. In the end, it was easier to accept that he was god than otherwise.
Which is odd, because I’m still an atheist and we even agree on that!

Clip: We Are Conscious co-creators
Want to know the truth about reality? The truth is that we create the truths of our reality.
We literally think things into existence during the process of perceiving.
This is because our world is a hologram (made of dense frequencies and vibrations (Yep, including the hardest of objects)) which is shaped and created by humanity's collective thoughts and beliefs.
Most people seem to view everybody as a separate entity, but we all have a consciousness that is connected to the same energy life forces. Your thoughts and beliefs, and my thoughts and beliefs, contribute to the overall body of humanity, i.e. the collective conscious.
It's the collective conscious that shapes the vibe of the world. So you've got to ask yourself: Is my mind creating positive or negative frequencies for the world? How can i intentionally and consciously create thoughts that are benevolent towards the evolution of the human soul and towards the peace, love and harmony of our world? Everybody is a contributor.
Don't think for a second that a single one person can't make difference in the world, because if our own consciousnesses comprise the collective conscious, and the collective conscious shapes the overall vibe of our world, then everybody's mind is a contributor to the world's "shape" (be it for good or for bad). It's time to take responsibility for the awful shape that the world is in by acknowledging that every circumstance in the world (be it good or bad) was created from thought (Usually not intentionally created obviously, but still created nonetheless). Our collective consciousness created it. Which may be hard to swallow at first, but it's true. Knowing this also means: YOU have the power, and I have the power, for change. It all starts from within our own minds.
It's this information that needs to be absorbed and understood by all human life. Because as our minds and souls evolve, and the rate of thought-created manifestations increases, we are going to have to learn together how to manage creating the world for the better. And we can't do that without information/ideas about our reality.
Perhaps this vid will enlighten some on the topic:

Book recommendation: A New Earth - by Eckhart Tolle
This is a book i finished reading about a month ago. It really got through to me and for a few weeks afterwards, i couldn't get its' concepts out of mind. Everything rang so true. There were plenty of moments during reading the book where a light-bulb would flash and i would go "A-ha!".
It is a book that is hard to describe to people. And it is the kind of book that can only be read when ready. I imagine if one was to read it too soon, then it wouldn't get through to the reader (I.e. If i read this when i was in high school i probably would have laughed at it). But i suppose the best way to describe the book is as an "awakening" book. It advocates present moment awareness and the dismantling of the ego as the path towards awakened living. Some of the things in the book i don't agree with, but for the most part it hits the nail on the head. But it's really something that one must judge for him/herself.
Yes, it was promoted on Oprah, but don't let that deter you.
People that are already familiar with eastern spiritual philosophies such as buddhism may not get much out of this book, as it is mostly a rehash of those concepts. But it is just communicated in a more "western" way.
Check it out on Amazon.
Check it out on Wiki.

Petition: Save Australian Internet
Hey,
It has recently come to my attention that Senator Conroy has plans to install an Internet censorship scheme while everybody is focused on Christmas.
The internet is the final medium of media in which humanity has freedom of speech. This is a threat to government's control. Australia is getting prepared to commence censorship - which means our internet will become controlled - so we must voice our disapproval!
So today i found a site recommended by a friend on facebook(thank you, freedom of speech!), that was holding a petition against it (they gathered 120,000 signatures), and the site had the capabilities to forward our emails to the senator.
So i wrote one.
If you would like to do the same, then visit this site:
If you would like an example of what to write, here's the email that i sent. Feel free to discuss it. But remember to use your own words when you send an email of your own. And feel free to bring up completely different points in your own email. The idea is to flood them with so many emails that we can't be ignored.
Dear Senator,
It has come to my attention recently of the plans to censor Australian internet. I would like to voice my disapproval of the notion.
The internet is the final medium of media of which our nation has freedom of speech. TV Media is run by a select few in control, and general population is not involved in the controlling process of it. Commercial Radio is also this way. The internet is the final media of which everybody is equal, and any human can freely express themselves. Although some things on the internet can truly be labeled negatively, the censorship plans will choke our freedom of speech, and our freedom in general.
The censorship plans are redundant, since the negative internet content is normally shared via email or file-sharing networks - not through web traffic. AND - Any negative stuff that IS present in web-traffic, can be thwarted by censorship software that can be purchased by any parent around the globe. Not only would Government-controlled internet censorship be inefficient and unnecessary, it would also be a violation to human rights.
Freedom of speech is necessary for humanity for the evolution of our collective consciousness. I hope you are intelligent enough to understand this. To be without honest expression and without the ability to connect with others, we are divided, unhappy and generally disconnected. This means humans are not trading thoughts, ideas, beliefs, perspectives, etc etc, as they should be able to. To censor the internet, would be to work against humanity's evolution. This means internet censorship comes across as a malevolent plan. Is the government working in favour or against the Australian public?
GetUp! has already gathered over 120,000 petition signatures in opposition to mandatory internet censorship scheme. This is proof that it is not in the best interests of the people.
What i ask is that you reconsider your position on the internet censorship scheme, and instead work towards schemes that the Australian public are actually in favour for.
Thank you for your time,
Nic.

Clip: We Will Be Victorious
If you can manage to put aside the fact that this clip is borderline righteous (silly new muse and their ego), and just look it at from a perspective of truth, then you'll find it to be extremely powerful.
Hopefully this can contribute to awareness of the fact that governments have a greedy agenda that doesn't go in favour of humanity. The more people that awaken to this fact, the less power the government has. If we can unite together as humans, and recognize the fact that each of us is a cell that is apart of the larger body (humanity), then our collective consciousness will really start to evolve.
(Don't be surprised if the clip above doesn't load. Apparently youtube keeps censoring/deleting it. This particular version has managed to last 2 months. If it's been deleted by the time you want to watch it, just search for a 6:45 long clip called "we will be victorious". If that fails, contact me and let me know and i'll see if i can dig it up for ya.)

Clip: Evolution Is Now
If you imagine human history in the form of a linear timeline, then our current times would show that right now we are experiencing an evolution in human consciousness. The key to this lies in unity, and lies in the realisation that we are all connected to the same universal energy. This clip puts some of that into perspective.
This clip may come across as "lame" to the average cynic. And hey, maybe it is? But the truth it speaks is far beyond any sort of negative interpretation.
Warning: Contains some disturbing images.

Article: Aliens 'already exist on earth', Bulgarian scientists claim
A Bulgarian scientist has made a claim that some of us have already suspected, and that is that there is indeed extraterrestrial life out there. He also claims that we have not grown enough yet has a race to be able to have direct contact, but they're are among us on earth, and do have a benevolent agenda and want to help us.
This may be old news to some, but for others may be skeptical and find it hard to believe. Either position is understandable. At any rate, we must judge for ourselves.
Work on deciphering a complex set of symbols sent to them is underway, scientists from the country's Space Research Institute said.
They claim aliens are currently answering 30 questions posed to them.
Lachezar Filipov, deputy director of the Space Research Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, confirmed the research.
He said the centre's researchers were analysing 150 crop circles from around the world, which they believe answer the questions.
"Aliens are currently all around us, and are watching us all the time," Mr Filipov told Bulgarian media.
"They are not hostile towards us, rather, they want to help us but we have not grown enough in order to establish direct contact with them."

Terence McKenna: You Are an Explorer, and You Represent our Species
While we're on the theme of psychedelics today, i figure it's a good time to post this fantastic little clip of Terence McKenna magic.
In this 2 minutes of inspiration, Terence talks about the role of psychedelics, our role as humans, what to do, what not to do, and sums it up nicely at the end with a message of what it's all about.
These are notions i absolutely absorbed earlier this year, and should be absorbed by all to help towards creating our new paradigm.

Article: The Warrior Archetype and the Reemergence of the Goddess
I believe the healing of this could lead to one of the next steps towards humanity's evolution. This is why awareness of this is key.
For the past few thousand years we have lived in a patriarchal paradigm where the masculine has been over emphasized at the expense of the feminine. This has produced not only the oppression of women, constant war and violence but also inner conflict for both men and women as each struggles to be whole human beings in a world where an imbalanced ideal is cherished. The result of the over emphasis on the masculine has resulted in it taking a negative form as the feminine is devalued and even systematically repressed.

Terence McKenna - Culture is not your friend
Terence McKenna talks about our culture and its de-humanizing flaws, and suggests a way to fight back...
First post: Terence Mckenna - Culture is your operating system
Our societal values and culture customs define our beliefs. And if everything we do and think is filtered through our beliefs, then our belief systems are one of the most significant factors of life. In this clip, Terence McKenna relates culture to being like the operating system that runs a computer. A clever approach. He talks about our current culture, its problems and how to fix it. He talks about our true nature and its relation to our culture.
Who controls our culture? Is it our governments? Is it our history? Is it undefinable?
What can we do to align our culture more with our true nature?
Do we truly perceive reality correctly?
Does our culture contain beliefs that limit the growth and evolution of the human soul?
Is it time to redefine our belief systems of reality? Or are we already on the ball?
