What began as a laboratory protocol, created by a small group of scientists at Stanford Research Institute, has become part modern mental martial art, part awakening path, and part social movement. Why has this happened? Perhaps because remote viewing produces objectively verifiable data derived from the non-local and can be taught to anyone.

BE RATIONAL
Unless There’s a Good Reason Not to Be
H B Gelatt

If you decide not to be rational because there is a good reason not to be, isn’t that being rational?

Have you ever made a decision that wasn’t totally rational? If you answered yes, please answer the second question. If you answered no, please reread the first question and try again. Second question: How often have you made decisions that were not totally rational?

I seem to recall someone mentioning that the new site might be up and running by the end of July. If that's the case, I'd just like to mention that I've enjoyed this site and I've had fun sharing my blog with other IONS members.

I've been feeling very homesick lately. I'm homesick for dead. I know that doesn't make any sense, but I miss the way things were when I had my NDE. I crave that light and that way of experiencing everything. I miss the feeling of a very big love, so big that it isn't like what gets called love here at all.

GaiaStar Room

Hosted by Brooks Cole
05.31.06

Note from artists Bonnie Gold Bell and David Sun Todd: In 1998, artists Bonnie Bell and David Todd began to meditate on the emergence of global being. When we see ourselves as human-spirit cells in a conscious, living world, how does that change our awareness and our bodies? Out of this meditation, we created a series of 64 images and text called The GaiaStar Codex: Seeds of a Turned-on World. In this slide show you’ll read phrases from the Codex mixed with mandalas and goddess icons from the Codex and some of our other visual series.
