The Battle For Consciousness

Jane Roberts channeled information from a higher realm in the voice of Seth. She wrote many books In Seth's voice inspiring new ways of seeing the world and possibilities that may exist.   Ashars arrival at Thinkers Island provides a fresh look at some of these metaphysical and spiritual ideas.    Jars with mixtures of leaves, stems, and green plant substance filled the shelves of her kitchen. A small table and single chair were all that fit among the many plants Melanie Ashton cared for. Her house, in a secluded part of the island, was also her botanical research lab. Many different species, individually potted and wired with tiny sensors, provided her with data that led to an understanding about the information that these plants exchanged, and the ether that carried such information. She called this the bioenergic realm of the plants. Melanie was always a vivid dreamer, especially after being wired up to her plants. But one night she had an extraor...

Was the great flood a result of a giant meteor passing by earth and shifting its axis? It could have been the demise of Atlantis like it was the birth of Thinkers Island. Add caption Thinkers Island was born from this catastrophe and evolved similar to Atlantis, a Utopia.   “Your Majesty, the object that I’ve been looking at in the sky is approaching quickly and will soon have a great effect on our land,” the astronomer announced, panting at the doorway to the king’s dining chamber. The king, obviously not moved, took a slow sip from his goblet before responding. “I looked into your amazing device, my dear Eron, and could see the small object that you refer to. But surely you wouldn’t have me believe that it could hurt or in any way destroy my kingdom?” he asked with a mocking smirk. “It only appeared small because it was so far away, Your Majesty, but it now appears much larger and will reach us in three days.” “Do you take me for a fool?” He sma...

Beings from parallel dimensions at Thinkers Island  And just for an instant, he peeked into this world, his image extruding through the membrane that separates his world from ours, not knowing that his consciousness would be imprinted here for decades   Have you ever noticed a face with explicit emotional expressions and unique qualities appearing on an unevenly painted surface or a collection of boulders on an island, or the face of a cliff or even a piece of toast?  Seeing faces  in inanimate objects is common, and it has a name: pareidolia . It is a psychological phenomenon that causes the human brain to lend significance—and facial features, in particular—to random patterns.  This explanation of how we interpret these otherwise undecipherable visual experiences as “the mind filling in the blanks” is well accepted,  How, and why, for some of us, we might also receive emotional, or euphoric feelings is another question.  ...

                  Deep within the Bermuda triangle, there is an island kept secret from the world. It is called Thinkers Island. Reality is very different there and not subject to the laws of nature as we know them. On this island physics and metaphysics meld into one.     W riting about physics, and science is a doable task. Depending on the educational achievement of the author, the article can be of varying complexities, from a simple observation easily understood to a twenty-page thesis with laboratory experiments, complicated formulas, and terminology backed by deep understandings of a particular field. There may be some challenges, but a few more mathematical equations and further experimental models can shed further light on its subject. M etaphysics, on the other hand, does not have the luxury of formulas and facts to back it up and is widely accepted as abstract theories with no basis in reality . Bef...

For what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil There is a school of thought, (and I am sure it has a name,) which claims that we function via a complex system of electrical signals traveling through a neural network of highways driven by commands from the brain. In a way indicative of computer savviness, it is described as a  processing system constantly using input data as well as memory data to determine the next instance and that it provides a feedback loop giving itself the illusion of free will.  Some of us might find this a plausible theory since the idea of an external force of some sort from another dimension controlling or overseeing our behavior is not viable. We would rather see ourselves as a single unit self-propelled and interacting with the surroundings that provide input to the processor in the brain. The feeling of self or free will understood as just a biological idea designed in our system as a feedback loop needed to ge...

N europhysiological and neuroimaging studies show that  electrical activity excites neurons in our brain causing the images and experiences we know as dreams . Sleep studies have documented Rapid Eye Movement as a muscle reaction to this phenomenon. I would not argue with the biological and physiological scientific studies and resulting theories that explain all this. I just have a huge problem with a scientific explanation that reduces the life experience that I get from my dreams as merely overnight indigestion. . Granted that such a condition does exist and can produce enough chemical activity to generate random electrical messages exiting the visual cortex .  Or even that a powerful Psychological Subconscious force is at hand generating euphoric images or horrifying nightmares depending on the pressures or lack of in our day to day endeavors. I believe this is true yet the exception, not the norm. at least not for me. My dreams are a real part of my...

The Realm of Here And Now,  why it is so hard to reach Th e moment or “ Here and now ” is far-fetched and nearly impossible to conceptualize for many people. They brush it off as ideas that arise in the minds of those ingesting something psychotropic. They think that the idea of existing without analyzing deducing and cataloging is impossible .    First, there is the internal dialogue to deal with constantly spinning on the carousel of memories, or on a rocketship toward the future never stopping and sometimes bypassing logic and reason and becoming disengaged from reality. Second, we have the external stimuli relentless in its constant bombardment of information and deliverance of instantaneous gratification pleasing either the body or the mind Third, we have the intellect ; analyzing every minute and cataloging it so that all coincide properly to fit within our conventional worldview else we tend to freak out. Fourth, there is the collabora...
