Scientists Can Now Record And Show You Your Own Dreams

6 Comments

Have you ever wished you could remember your dreams more vividly? Or have you ever wanted to record your dreams and watch them later like a TV program or a great movie?

I don’t know about you, but this is always something I have wanted to do! And now researchers have found a way to translate our every thought and dream into a video that can be watched later.

The first ever study in the United States was conducted at Brown University in 2011 and in it, three people were asked to wear an EEG device while they slept. They were then woken up in the height of dream activity and asked what they were dreaming about. The device cataloged all of the brain images and stored them.

The scientists repeated this process 200 hundred times for each person and made a database of all of the images. Once they were awake, the scientists showed them the images and scanned their brains again based on their responses.

The people in the study were then asked to sleep again, and the brain scanners went to work. What happened next was revolutionary, the device was able to predict what the person was dreaming about! Continue reading →

For The Last Time: Telepathy is Real, Here’s the Groundbreaking Research

1 Comment

To possess the ability to communicate with people without using any medium is a fascinating subject for many. Known as a superpower, telepathy stands right up there with x-ray vision, telekinesis and time freezing, as something people would love to have!

The great news is that recent research is removing the fictional nature of telepathy. Many scientists now don’t regard it as science fiction but closer to actual science that presents a ripe area for research.

Recently, a group a researchers successfully completed a telepathic transmission from one persons mind to another, half way across the world!

The Experiment

Star Labs in Barcelona used sophisticated non-invasive equipment to send a message from a mind in India, all the way to France! The setup involved the sender wearing an electroencephalography (EEG) cap which captured the electrical signals in their cortex.

The focus was on motor transmissions, as this architecture is similar across all human brains. So, the sender was asked to think about moving his hands or feet. Once these signals were captured by the EEG cap, they were sent over to a computer that transcoded it into binary data (0s and 1s) and transmitted it over the internet to another computer situated next to the recipient.

10 ‘What Ifs’ That Will Make You Deeply Question Your Reality

Leave a comment

If you’re a frequent visitor of The Spirit Science, you probably agree with the notion that questioning things is quite a healthy practice. I certainly agree; we’ve got to question everything that we’re told, everything that happens around us – otherwise, we’ll wind up accepting things without hesitation and falling into many of the traps laid out for us.

Here are 10 questions that I hope will prove to be thought-provoking and get you thinking about why things are just the way they are.

1. What if everything we’re taught is a lie?

From a young age, we’re told that the educational system and authority figures in it teach us the truth. But what if they didn’t – how would we even know?

2. What if education’s purpose was to teach us to function in a very specific system that we must be dependent on?

What else do we learn in school other than things that are designed to get us to fit into a very specific worldview? Continue reading →

How Deep Breathing Literally Changes The Structure of Your Brain

1 Comment

423239982212190208What if you could change your state of mind, just by changing your breathing?

A study on deep breathing [1] found that it made the participants more relaxed and that it affected the brain waves of the participants. This has implication beyond just lowered stress and increased well-being

The study used electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure the effect of deep breathing on the 16 participant’s brain waves.

The breathing lasted four to six minutes with six breaths per minute. The deep breaths consisted of four seconds of inhaling with the diaphragm, two seconds holding the breath and four seconds of exhaling.

The deep breathing increased the amount of alpha, theta and delta waves.

What does this mean, you might ask.

wavesofsoundNormally we’re in the beta state. It is when your brain waves have a frequency of 16-31 Hz (per second). In the beta state we’re attentive, thinking actively and alert. It ranges from actively calm, to stressed out or mildly obsessive.

Deep breathing is an effective way of lowering your brain wave frequency to the range 8-15 Hz. In the alpha state you’re relaxed and reflective. Stress levels are substantially decreased as compared to the beta state. The alpha state has been widely recognized as an optimal state for learning. Continue reading →

3 Things You’re Not Being Told About the Law of Attraction

4 Comments

“There are only two kinds of people. Those who believe that they are a victim of the world and those who understand that they are the world.” – Alan Watts

Most people are unaware of how powerful they truly are and even if they’re aware of the concept, they haven’t a clue on where to start or how to create the life they deserve. Too often we get stuck in repetitive thought patterns. A cycle of negativity that has been wired into our brains; manifesting the idea that everything in the world is happening to us, rather than creating a world where everything happens for us.

3 Reasons the Law of Attraction Isn't Working For YouTake miracles for example. It is easy to believe that when a miraculous or unexplained event occurs, that it is nothing more than a random act. This, because we are wired to respond to the external. Giving our power away, we react to an event as an external happening rather than taking responsibility for our own creative manifestation.

In a study conducted by Richard Davidson, a world-renowned Neuroscientist from the University of Wisconsin. His research found that our thoughts consistently have a direct impact on our everyday situations, as we manifest the ideas we choose to visualize and hold our attention upon. Affirming the long known spiritual philosophy, that we are perpetual participants and co-creators, of our own everyday reality.

Davidson collaborated with Tibet’s Dalai Lama, who provided eight Buddhist monks (some of his most accomplished meditators) to take part in EEG and fMRI brain scanning. Continue reading →

Real Information They Don’t Want You to Know About Nikola Tesla

Leave a comment

Over the years, as more and more people begin to recognize the game being played in our society, Nikola Tesla and his story has been becoming more and more popular. This is natural as the increase in people educating themselves outside of the education system leads them to gaining knowledge and picking up bits of information that would otherwise stay hidden

When he died in New York City, the U.S. government confiscated his notes. Why? Were they trying to steal his technology? Did they ever relinquish the notes?

The morning after the inventor’s death, his nephew Sava Kosanovic hurried to his uncle’s residence. By the time he arrived, Tesla’s body had already been removed. Technical papers were missing as well as a black notebook he knew Tesla kept – a notebook with several hundred pages, some of which were marked “Government!”

P. E. Foxworth, assistant director of the New York FBI office, was called in to investigate. According to Foxworth, the government was “vitally interested” in preserving Tesla’s papers.

The life of Nikola Tesla is yet another example of how history can be manipulated by those in power. It’s a story of how a man who changed the world with his discoveries has been left out of the history books, out of the schools and out of the collective consciousness.

After all, there is no excuse. Tesla is the man who made it possible for us to have electricity in our homes. Tesla wired up entire cities. He transformed the way people live.

To top it all off, he did everything he could to teach society how to create cheap and clean energy. Perhaps that’s why he was metaphorically buried while he was still alive and died poor, living in a hotel room. He threatened too many economic interests.

After watching these insightful videos I can only come to the conclusion that Nikola Tesla had integrity. His aim was clearly to improve the life of humanity and not his own lot in life. Nikola Tesla is a true inspiration and it’s up to us to continue his legacy.
