PART 1 Quantum Reality: WHY d o  YOU Exist in Physical Form? The German Philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, famously quoted, “We are asleep. Our life is a dream. But once in a while we wake up just enough to know that we are dreaming.” We must acknowledge & recognize from research & a myriad of stories recounted beyond the physical realm that consciousness is more than our brain. Consciousness exists outside the brain & the physical body as  Eben Alexander III MD , a neurosurgeon, explains (his own Near Death Experience) in his book “Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon‘s Journey into the Heart of Consciousness.” The purpose of life is to actually realize every possibility for creativity that exists in non-local consciousness. The ultimate goal is you are not a body-a changing stream of perception, you are not a mind-a changing stream of thoughts, feelings, emotions, and images. You are the generator of all this. You have constructed your experience of body,...

PART 2 (Continued) Quantum Reality: WHY do YOU Exist in Physical Form? How our physical form & consciousness relate to the electrical/chemical events in our brain is one of the biggest challenges of science for humanity. There is plenty of research which demonstrates that electrical activity we see in the brain or in the nervous system is also an experience in consciousness. Scientists say we live in a Quantum Vacuum. But I disagree. The word vacuum implies that the universe is empty, void. I like to say that the universe is an Energy Web - a web that is thick, full, & alive. The energy web is a living, breathing organism of which we are a part. We interact with it every single moment of every single day sending our frequencies out into the web and receiving its responses. The world is plastic & pliable. And therefore, we are the creators of our realities; we are the manifesters of our destinies. Every single morning we wake up with unlimited power - the power to think what...

Part 1 EPIGENETICS:  How Your Choices Change Your Genes Welcome to the 3rd Series of A 4 Part Series on Well-Being: A Re-Conceptualized Skill As you read/listen to this 3rd Series titled Epigenetics, I want to remind you to think about the following 2 foundational questions throughout this 4-Part Series. The first question is: Why is it that some people are more vulnerable to life's slings and arrows and others more resilient? The second question is: How can we nurture this quality and promote more human flourishing to promote more resilience? Let’s talk about Epigenetics. Epigenetics means that your choices, whatever they are in terms of sleep, stress management, exercise, personal relationships, and emotions - these choices all change the activity of your genes. For example, if you have love, compassion, joy, or equanimity in your life, then the genes that cause self-regulation or homeostasis or what ordinary people call "healing", these genes go up in their activity. W...
