How Far Down The Rabbit Hole Are You Willing To Go?

I came across this really neat piece by physicist Travis Taylor PhD called ‘Decoding The Law Of Attraction’. It is a free webinar where Taylor is interviewed by Bob Doyle. If you are like me constantly rummaging around for the scientific evidence behind the Metaphysical, you’ll find this a great find because he lays out the real science behind how we create our experience of reality in every moment. Someone who really knows what he’s talking about!

The Science Behind The Secret – The Quantum Connection:

I’ll share with you’ll what I particularly liked, the TOP 20 pointers you should pay attention to when you receive your link to watch and what a great job he does explaining the Big picture of quantum physics and you:

1.) We have always thought of our brains as a learning network but now scientists are beginning to find that our brains aren’t just computers but quantum ones to that. Our brains work through quantum physics.

2.) Key of quantum physics: Like things interact with like things and stay but when unlike things interact with like things, they vanish! Vanish!

3.) Most important: He puts it all together how quantum physics explains how our brains create a quantum wave function that is broadcast into the Universe and then interacts with every other quantum wave function in the Universe. No matter what the distance is between the like things in the Universe they will be attracted to each other.

With regards to this point, when you ponder on it for a few minutes, it really leaves you in awe. I don’t know about you but every time I come across statements like this I am physically moved to the point that I get so excited to be alive and just wanting to go out there and chase my dreams simply by being the magnet.

So if you aren’t what you want to be and you don’t have what you really want, then just ask yourself – Am I a magnet for ___ (fill in the space)?

You know when people tell you to be patient you’re Ms/Mr Perfect will arrive when the time is right? How soon is soon if you aren’t attracting the right partner? So of course I’m simplifying things here but I took love and relationships as an example here to discuss that when you are proactive, when you love and accept yourself, you are becoming that which you set out to find in others, not just a prospective life partner but friends too.

4.) In quantum physics, each individual thing > represented as > ripple in the fabric of the Universe itself > ripples = QWFs (quantum wave functions) = qwiffs, resulting in:

Like qwiffs interact with each other resulting in COHERENCE while

Unlike qwiffs vanish resulting in REDUCTION.

The like qwiffs coherence/interaction is what results in our reality.

5.) Your belief system should be in coherence with a possibility. Is the probability large, infinite or slim?

6.) When you find the right pitch and become coherent with whatever it is you want to become coherent with in the Universe, then that’s when you can make the actions happen. The like qwiffs have to cohere to the next state of reality.

7.) Everything is energy and WE are energy. Energy is the fabric of the Universe.

8.) The Law Of Abundance explanation Dr. Taylor gets into. You have to listen to it. If you want to learn it through and through, then study the 11 Forgotten Laws by Bob Proctor & Mary Morrissey.

9.) Big Bang Singularity: We are not in the Universe we are part of the Universe. “I am really connected to the Universe!”

10.) Cytoskeleton: Every living thing has something call tubulus. These micro tubular proteins are the key quantum wave function key transmission devices in the brain and all living things.

11.) There is a set of underlying Universal rules and do you want to know what the Eureka moment really is? Your mind cohering with the Universe, setting your brain enough to be LIKE that and then you get the AHA moment.

12.) Be what you want to be just by acting like you already have it. Don’t wish. Don’t want. Remember how I always say – Be it! Thank the Universe for it!

13.) Buddha said “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.”

14.) Dr. Taylor starts promoting good thoughts about himself and everything around him. Even if he doesn’t want to buy into it! Say things to yourself like “I’m super awesome fabulous ___” (fill in all the super hero adjectives in here) but FEEL it ok?

15.) Multiple quantum state flux – it will be in a state until you make it in a form you want. Matter just waiting to happen! Imagine that!

16.) Gets interesting when he talks about how Conscious events happen in around 40 milliseconds. Also discusses how many neurons are fired up during a thought and action. How long will these neurons stay in these states? About 10-100millisecond.

17.) Pay attention to the part about Non Computable Question – It is what it is! (i.e. non computability) Quantum physics is the only known physical process that explains this.

18.) I really like this definition – A quantum computer compares the question to all known answers simultaneously and the correct answer stays while the incorrect answers vanish (like attracts like).

19.) The scientific community agrees that quantum physics happen almost instantly across the universe. We are one with the Universe!

20.) Very important: Controlling Your Thoughts – when you are thinking something, it is like you are sending an email to the Universe. Thought = email with not a lot of data there. Amount of data is directly proportional to the amount of energy required to send it OR is being sent.

I love this. Just listen to this: The analogy he’s trying to get across is that when we send this email, let’s add feelings to it, so that would mean more data, so we are moving into the territory of say adding pics (big size) to music files (bigger size). Get it? I want to be a data queen because I want to have a greater impact on the Universe.

So in practical terms: You don’t just wish for it, you feel yourself and see yourself doing or having it (even feeling the chills run down your back while you are experiencing it)

A physicist using a Vision Board…how awesome is that? He makes one and focuses on how it makes him feel.

He then shares some quotations in ‘What Quantum States Are You Reducing Right Now?’ My favorite from his list is Cheryl Richardson’s “The Universe is conspiring FOR me!” (not AGAINST, FOR!)

The Rich History of Chocolate

This article is taken from the book Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader Plunges Into History.

Among the ancients, it was revered as “the elixir of the gods.”

Today, it is the one sweet temptation that most of us find impossible to resist. Yet, for most of its 3,500-year history, it was not eaten but rather consumed as a beverage -and a cold one at that. Although its form and flavor have taken many twists and turns through the millennia, its appeal, once discovered, has been universal. So, why not treat yourself to a tour through the rich history of chocolate.



THE OLD GRIND

1500 B.C.: The Olmec civilization of Guatemala, the Chiapas and the Yucatan regions of Central America cultivate the cacao tree and make use of its products by grinding the beans and then mixing with water.

MONEY GROWS ON TREES



A.D. 200: The Olmecs have been overthrown by the Mayan civilization. The vast cacao plantations are used as a source of currency, with the little black beans being traded for goods or services. The bean is only consumed by the ruling classes. By now the process of mixing the drink has become more sophisticated -the beans are roasted and then ground with water before spices such as chili are added. The resulting mixture is shaken until it develops a frothy top, at which point it is ready to be enjoyed.

A HEAVENLY DRINK



A.D. 1200: The Mayans have been supplanted by the Aztecs who heartily embrace the product of the cacao tree, even incorporating it into their mythology. Their god Quetzalcoatl is said to have pilfered a cacao tree from the heavenly realms and deposited it on the Central American plains ready to be converted into a health elixir and power aphrodisiac. Famed Emperor Montezuma enjoys the drink so much that he reputedly downs 50 goblets full every day (the amount of time he spends on the royal lavatory as a result of such liquid overload is not recorded).

WRONG CURRENCY

1502: Christopher Columbus, on his fourth voyage to the New World, takes possession of a Mayan trading vessel containing what he takes to be almonds and which functions as a means of monetary exchange for the Native Americans. He thereby become the first European to encounter the cacao bean, though he scarcely gives it any attention and certainly never tastes it.

JUST A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR



1519-1544: Spanish explorer Hernando Cortes leads an expedition into the heart of Mexico in search of gold and silver. He is welcomed by the Aztecs and served their greatest delicacy -a cold, bitter drink they call “cacahuatl.” Cortes introduces this strange new brew to the Spanish court. It becomes an instant hit, even more so when sweetened with sugar. The Spanish would keep the secret of chocolate to themselves for the next 75 years.

ENGLISH COOKING

1579: The English let the chocolate opportunity slip through their fingers when they seize a Spanish cargo ship on the high seas. The British Buccaneers are surprised to find the ship holds a cargo of what they take to be sheep droppings and set it on fire. Eight years later they got a second chance when another Spanish ship carrying cacao beans is seized. Again, however, they destroy the cargo, declaring it to be useless.

GOES A COURTING



1609-1643: The secret is out. Chocolate makes it way across Europe, causing a sensation among the royal courts who are first introduced to it. France’s Sun King, Louis XIV is so taken with the delicacy that he appoints a representative to manufacture and sell it. The first book entirely devoted to chocolate is printed in Mexico. Throughout the French nobility, the aphrodisiac properties of the drink are highly regarded. Both Casanova and the Marquis de Sade are said to be prolific consumers.

FAST FOOD



1662: The Church of Rome declares that the consumption of chocolate, although highly nutritious and filling, is not considered to be food and can therefore be safely taken in its liquid form during periods of religious fasting.

JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED

1765: Chocolate, by now highly regarded as a liquid delicacy and a medicinal remedy in Europe, makes its way to the United States where Dr. James Baker of Massachusetts begins a chocolate manufacturing plant. Cacao beans are ground into chocolate liquid and pressed into cakes that can be dissolved in water or milk to make drinking chocolate. At the same time, James Watt invents the steam engine in Europe, which will soon be applied to the mechanized manufacture of chocolate.

WARRANT FOR HIS ASCENT



1824: James Cadbury opens a grocery in Birmingham, England, selling roasted cacao beans on the side. Very soon he is concentrating solely on the cacao beans and, in 1854, receives a Royal Warrant to be the sole provider of chocolate to Queen Victoria. A century later Cadbury is the largest food company in the world.

BAR KING

1847: The modern chocolate bar is born when British manufacturer Joseph Fry mixes melted cacao butter into a paste that is them pressed into a mold and sold as a solid bar. Soon the public has been educated to eat, rather than drink their chocolate.



1893: Milton Snavely Hershey enters the chocolate business. The world is introduced to the milk chocolate Hershey bar, followed by Hershey’s kisses. His operations grow at such a rate that he takes over the entire town of Derry Church, Pennsylvania, renames it Hershey, and turns it into the chocolate capital of the world.

1900 to present: The creation of chocolate delicacies becomes an art form. In 1908, the Swiss Toblerone bar is offered, in 1922 the European Chocolate Kiss, chocolate-covered cherries in 1929, and that old favorite -the chunky bar filled with nuts and raisins in the mid 1930s. During World War II, chocolate bars become standard issue for the U.S. military. When man conquers Mt. Everest in 1953 and heads into space in the 1960s, the chocolate bar goes along. By the end of the 20th century, science acknowledges what the Aztecs knew all along -that chocolate is a powerful fighter against fatigue, giving the eater added strength and energy. But, the scientists found, that energy comes at a price- a one-and-a-half ounce chocolate bar contains 220 calories!

17 Strange Facts About Adolf Hitler

There’s nothing funny about Hitler, but he is endlessly fascinating. Since Congress passed the Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act in 1998, almost 3 million classified files have been opened to the public – including a 1942 secret profile of Adolf Hitler compiled by the OSS. Here are some excerpts. 

PERSONAL APPEARANCE

• Hitler never allows anyone to see him while he is naked or bathing. He refuses to use cologne or scents of any sort on his body

• No matter how warm he feels, Hitler will never take off his coat in public

• In 1923, Nazi press secretary Dr. Sedgwick tried to convince Hitler to get rid of his trademark mustache or grow it normally. Hitler answered: “Do not worry about my mustache. If it is not the fashion now, it will be later because I wear it!”

SOCIAL BEHAVIOR

• While dining with the others, Hitler will allow the conversation to linger on general topics, but after a couple of hours he will inevitably begin one of his many monologues. These speeches are flawless from start to finish because he rehearses them any time he gets a moment.

• His favorite topics include: “When I was a soldier,” “When I was in Vienna,” “When I was in prison,” and “When I was the leader in the early days of the party.”

• If Hitler begins speaking about Wagner and the opera, no one dares interrupt him. He will often sermonize on this topic until his audience falls asleep.

PERSONAL HABITS

• Hitler has no interest in sports or games of any kind and never exercised, except for an occasional walk.

• He paces frequently inside rooms, always to the same tune that he whistles to himself and always diagonally across the room, from corner to corner

• Hitler’s handwriting is impeccable. When famous psychologist Carl Jung saw Hitler’s handwriting in 1937, he remarked: “Behind this handwriting I recognize the typical characteristics of a man with essentially feminine instinct.”

ENTERTAINMENT

• Hitler loves the circus. He takes real pleasure in the idea that underpaid performers are risking their lives to please him.

• He went to the circus on several occasions in 1933 and sent extremely expensive chocolates and flowers to the female performers. Hitler even remembered their names and would worry about them and their families in the event of an accident.

• He isn’t interested in wild animal acts, unless there is a woman in danger

• Nearly every night Hitler will see a movie in his private theatre, mainly foreign films that are banned to the German public. He loves comedies and will often laugh merrily at Jewish comedians. Hitler even liked a few Jewish singers, but after hearing them he would remark that it was too bad he or she wasn’t Aryan.

• Hitler staff secretly made films for him of torture and execution of political prisoners, which he very much enjoyed viewing. His executive assistants also secured pornographic pictures and movies for him.

• He loves newsreels – especially when he is in them.

• He adores gypsy music, Wagner’s operas, and especially American college football marches and alma maters.

• To excite the masses, he also uses American College football-style music during his speeches. His rallying cry – “Sieg Heil!” – was even modeled after the cheering techniques used by American football cheerleaders.

“If you win, you need not have to explain...If you lose, you should not be there to explain!” ― Adolf Hitler
