Michael Beckwith - What's Your Pissocity Level?

Thanks to Teye for sending me this uplifting video. Michael Beckwith (from The Secret) gives an inspirational talk with all the energy of a Southern Baptist preacher, but with a spiritual (not "religious") message. How pissed off are you? What is your "Pissocity Level" and what are you willing to do about it? Are you like the majority of the population - living life on the lay away plan, pining for some better future existence? Have you developed intricate coping and defense mechanisms to - kind of - make it through your human experience; hoping that in the future you'll somehow be different? Have you come just to hang out and exist between birth and death, and live a life that you read about in an insurance actuary column? If you are upset about your current situation or condition in life; then that is an indication that you are not planning or working on changing it!

More of Bruce Lee's Philosophies

Here's another musical montage video overlayed with great philosophical Bruce Lee quotes. If you're a martial artist or an armchair philosopher I highly recommend Bruce Lee's writings. Thanks in part to the influence of Bruce Lee's books and movies, I'm now a 2nd degree black belt in Taekwondo, and have a B.A. in Philosophy.

Peter Russell - From Science to God

The above is an abridged DVD presentation of Peter Russell's latest book on consciousness research, "From Science to God." I highly recommend both the video and his book which is available to read in full for free on his website. Read Peter Russell's "From Science to God"

“Nothing in Western science predicts that any living creature should be conscious. It is easier to explain how hydrogen evolved into other elements, how they combined to form molecules, and then simple living cells, and how these evolved into complex beings such as ourselves than it is to explain why we should ever have a single inner experience.” -Peter Russell, “From Science to God”

Our Ultimate Reality

Our Ultimate Reality- NEW Edition

I've just finished reading Adrian Cooper's "Our Ultimate Reality" and really enjoyed it. It's like an introduction to/encyclopedia of all things metaphysical/spiritual. Incredibly long, but packed with gems like this:

“Although the true nature of the Universe has been known and taught throughout the ages by many and varied sources throughout the world, all of which are highly consistent and in broad agreement, it is also now being substantiated by the work of modern quantum physics, and increasingly by other branches of the sciences as well. All areas of the sciences will surely soon have to accept the fact that true Universal reality is not and never can be based entirely in the familiar three-dimensional world of physical matter as has been assumed since the days of Isaac Newton, but is rather an infinite, multi-dimensional reality, a Universe of living Consciousness of which everyone and everything without exception is an integral and equal aspect. The true nature of the Universe will certainly challenge the perceptions of most people, if for no other reason that throughout the ages there has been a prevalent misperception of a ‘God’ who is completely separate from everyone and everything else in existence, and who ‘rules’ over ‘his’ three dimensional world of matter from high places.” -Adrian Cooper, “Our Ultimate Reality” (19)
