A que nos referimos quando falamos de Ciência e quando falamos de espiritualidade? Pode a meditação ser considerada uma ciência em sentido lato?

¿A qué nos referimos cuando hablamos de Ciencia y a qué cuando hablamos de espiritualidad? ¿Puede ser la meditación una ciencia en sentido amplio?. |

O INDIVIDUALISMO AINDA TEM FUTURO?
Por: Leonardo Boff *
Os cosmólogos asseguram-nos que há duas tendências em todos os seres, especialmente nos vivos: a de auto-afirmação (eu/ego) e a de integração num todo maior (nós). Learn more …

- “Nem de, nem para; no ponto imóvel, aí está a dança, Mas não parada nem em movimento. E não chame de imobilidade O local onde passado e futuro se encontram… Se não houvesse o ponto, o ponto imóvel, Não haveria dança, e só há dança.” – T.S. Eliot Maya (a ilusão) está explicada: “O mundo imanente não é [...]
- Acha que a Internet alterou a sua mente ao nível neuronal, cognitivo, processual, emocional? Sim, não, talvez, respondem filósofos, cientistas, escritores, jornalistas à pergunta do ano do site edge.org, em dezenas de textos que são hoje colocados on-line. Image via Wikipedia No Verão de 2008, o escritor norte-americano Nicholas Carr publicou, na revista Atlantic Monthly, um artigo [...]
- Não resisto à transcrição deste subliminar trecho pleno de sabedoria intemporal, “plantado” no Facebook pelas mãos do amigo Dokushô Villalba. Perfecta como el espacio inmenso, [a la Vía] nada le falta, nada le sobra.

Abrupt change 2012: population growth and resource squeezesTremendous global stress is created by the growth of the world’s population. At the end of the 20th century population was expanding by about 900 million per decade, equivalent to a new London every month. It passed 6 billion before the turn of the century, and demographic… |

Abrupt change 2012: the climate evidenceWhat independent evidence do we have that the 2012 prophecies are true? Are there scientifically established grounds to believe not only that an interesting conjunction will occur in the position of our planet at the end of 2012, but that this conjunction will signify an abrupt tipping point for humanity? |
Abrupt change 2012: the propheciesWill the coming of a tipping point in human societies coincide with the famous 2012 prophecies? Let’s first look at these prophecies, and then look at the evidence that does—or does not—support them. |

The change, when it comes, will be “abrupt”When you exclaim, “that’s the last straw!” you express a fundamental principle we all know but mostly ignore. In science it’s called “nonlinearity.” If you load the back of a camel, you can add load after load and the camel will adjust and cope—until the load reaches the limit of the camel’s carrying capacity. Then, [...] |
Your thinking: the key to changing the worldGandhi said, ‘Be the change you want to see in the world.’ In today’s world this means, ‘Change your consciousness so others might change theirs.’ How can you do that? First of all, get rid of the old consciousness, and the values and beliefs that support it. Ask yourself: do you believe that — Everyone [...] |

The key insightWe must recognize that the world became unsustainable. The idea of unsustainable is a current term, but the idea behind it is not new. Already at the end of the 18th century Thomas Malthus published his famous treatise on food and population. He claimed, first, that food is necessary to the existence of man, and [...] |
What is the question?Had he lived today, Hamlet wouldn’t hesitate to tell us: to be or not to be, that is the question. But it’s not the skull of an individual that Hamlet would ponder, but the living Earth. Can we continue to “be” on this planet, or will we become extinct like the dinosaurs? |

El Dios Mercado
Por: Dokushô Villalba
Quizá los hechos que caracterizan la situación global del Planeta Tierra en este siglo XXI sean:
- El derrumbe de los grandes sistemas ideológicos y, en particular, la pérdida creciente de influencia de las grandes tradiciones religiosas, incapaces ya de mostrar qué es la realidad y cuál es la función del ser humano en ella .
- Una degradación ecológica sin precedente en la historia y en constante ascenso.

Detectan indicios de conciencia en pacientes en estado vegetativo
Un equipo de científicos de la Medical Research Council Cognitive and Brain Sciences, en Cambridge, ha detectado indicios de conciencia en algunos pacientes con cerebros en estado vegetativo e, incluso, han logrado comunicarse con ellos.
Este hallazgo supone un cuestionamiento de la forma en que deben ser tratados y diagnosticados estos enfermos, señalan los investigadores.
Uno de los ejemplos fue el de un paciente de estas características, de 22 años de edad y en estado vegetativo desde hacía cinco años, que fue capaz de visualizar escenas específicas que los médicos le pidieron que imaginara. Las visualizaciones realizadas reflejaron una actividad cerebral distinta en cada caso, según se detectó con un escáner cerebral.
