This article was co-written with Dr. S. N. Bhavasar, a Sanskrit and Ayurvedic scholar, and James P. Kowall, PhD, MD.

"The literal meaning of the Sanskrit word “Saamkhya” (संख्या) is enumeration, but the term Saamkhya (सांख्य) refers to a system, school, or philosophy. We have chosen to label it as a “hypothesis” since it is provable as we will see. It is said to have been developed by Sage Kapila and there appear to be references to Saamkhya in the vedic literature. The Bhagvad Geeta contains a chapter on Samkhya Yoga. This information tells us something about when Saamkhya system might have been developed, but it is certainly thousands of years old."

"There is an interesting connection of Saamkhya to modern physics."

🎙NEW PODCAST EPISODE

Trauma is a popular word these days, but also one that is a bit misunderstood. That said, in the context I will explore in today's podcast episode, we'll not only dive into why 'mass psychosis' plays into this question, but also why we can't get away from talking about the nature of our underlying systems in general.

What exactly is trauma? What role does trauma play in our lives? How does it affect our relationships, health and the lens through which we see our world? We explore these questions as well as the primary antidotes to shifting our physiology to integrate and process trauma effectively, as well as why this is a key foundational factor to creating a better world.

"It can happen in a multitude of ways yet always occurs seamlessly and painlessly. It’s probably the most profound, confusing, and utterly mind-blowing experience we can have while on this planet. As a professor and clinician in the field of psychology, I’ve had the pleasure of hearing hundreds of ways this has happened to people and each time, I’m thrilled and exhilarated to hear it again. I’m thrilled because it allows me to relive my own personal experiences, which have occurred in several different ways. Each time, it has left me with a certainty that one can only know through direct experience. This experience is that of leaving one’s own body and feeling the true essence of who we really are, separate from the physical body. The great mystery of life is set free."

This map has details that were not discovered until only a few decades ago. Furthermore, methods were clearly used that were not used until modern day civilization developed them! It suggests that skilled scientists who are familiar with astronomy as well as the methods required for topographic surveying, that were extremely advanced, made this map at least 5000 years go!

It also shows an ice free Antarctica mapped with extreme accuracy, the only issue is, according to modern day knowledge Antarctica was covered in ice at that time! But not according to this map.

There is also the possibility that the makers had access to some type of Ariel view.. More details in the article.

"This week, the New England Journal of Medicine published an observational study claiming that lifting mask mandates in schools in Massachusetts was associated with increased COVID-19 rates.

First, even if these results were true, they have no applicability in the present. Seroprevalence has rocketed past 90%. Most kids have already had COVID. Ergo, they no longer need protection from COVID (which they will get again, eventually). Whether mask mandates avert RSV or other viruses is speculation, and contradicted by a mountain of pre-pandemic data."

"What if machines begin to help determine what is important and whose reputation is valid, or begin judging our credit based on algorithms and parameters with which we’re not familiar."

There are so many concerns and questions as we become more technologically advanced, and sometimes what seems more uneducated, influenced by propaganda and lacking morals and ethics.

We explore how nervous system dysregulation plays into our everyday lives, relationships, ability to be curious - and of course - our ability to make sense of the world around us.

This is probably one of the most important bits of big picture theory we've put out in a while if we are looking at a SINGLE most important thing to help move toward a better world.

"Whether you believe in conspiracy theories or not, we can all agree that the use of the term has exploded in media and in conversation. The question is, why? Are we now using the term “Conspiracy Theory” more indiscriminately and on more platforms than previously?

Are we, as a society, simply becoming unhinged and absurd? Are seemingly nonsensical stories, for some unknown reason, starting to resonate with people? Or are some conventional narratives getting challenged because some of these “alternative” explanations are in fact accurate, despite the fact that conventional sources refuse to acknowledge them as even potentially valid? Notice that the last two possibilities are different sides of the same coin.

If you think “conspiracy theorists” are unhinged, it is highly likely that they are suspicious of your sanity as well. Both sides insist that they are right and that the other has been hoodwinked. Note that if you choose to not pick a side, you are, by default, allowing the conventional narrative to perpetuate. That is how convention works."

"As we enter a new era of cultural conflict, old political boundaries no longer serve us. I was never happy with the political division of “left” vs. “right.” The words, first and foremost, are vague even in their more primitive directional sense, since their interpretation depends entirely on the orientation of their user. What is “left” from my perspective will be “right” from yours, if you are standing opposite me, so it is important first to establish a frame of reference; otherwise there is likely to be confusion."

Researchers and pioneers in the study of consciousness have conducted research and experiments in the field of psychology and parapsychology that is very compelling, suggesting that people can have precognitive and telepathic dreams.

There are multiple examples within the article, so be sure to read it if interested!

We also have very well documented cases of twins dreaming very similar dreams and knowing that they just dreamed a similar dream and being able to finish the dream of the other person. The fact that these dreams occur between biological relatives

Mind altering stuff.

After the Manitoba, Canada, public health agency reported data showing those fully vaccinated (not boosted) for COVID-19 are at higher risk of dying from the virus compared to unvaccinated individuals, health officials stopped reporting on the data — a trend seen in other countries, including Scotland, the U.K. and the U.S.

"The Tibetan word, “thukdam” refers to a Buddhist meditative practice in which an accomplished meditator is absorbed in the process of inner dissolution of the five principal elements and consciousness back into the primordial light after clinical death.

Russian scientists examined 104 monks in meditation, and they observed a monk in thukdam for 37 days at the Gyutö Monastery. A forensic physician examined the physical body at various states after death, The scientists noted that the body of a person in thukdam was in a quite different state from the body of someone undergoing the ordinary process of death. They said this was the first scientific evidence of the phenomena."

On 24 Sept 2021, when CDC director Rochelle Walensky was asked if it was safe to receive a covid-19 vaccine while breastfeeding, her reply was unwavering:

“There is no bad time to get vaccinated,” said Walensky.

“Get vaccinated while you’re thinking about having a baby, before you’re thinking about having a baby, while you’re pregnant with your baby or after you’ve delivered your baby.”

But Walensky’s advice was not based on science. The safety studies had not been done.

It has been over a year since her comment, and a study published in JAMA found trace amounts of mRNA in the breast milk of mother who’d received the Pfizer or Moderna covid-19 vaccine.

The researchers speculated that lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA, once injected into the arm, are transported via the lymphatic system to the mammary glands and expressed into breast milk.

What is going on in Brazil? We take a look. It seems that tends and thousands of people have been protesting the newly elected president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva. He won after the rein of Jair Bolsonaro for four years, who has still not conceded defeat.

"The problem of political polarization in Brazil is not something new. Experts have commented on this topic for a long time and warned of serious consequences if social pacification is not achieved quickly. During the electoral campaign there were several episodes of explicit violence, including murders, on both sides. This type of scenario intensifies the ideological tendencies of the population and prevents any kind of rational analysis of the country’s political status quo.

Both sides serve external interests and do not present concrete proposals for Brazil. Polarization, in this sense, serves precisely to keep the people ideologically inflamed and prevent candidates with projects focused on national development, and not on external alignment, from gaining popularity.”

This quote certainly helps sum up this week's episode: "A problem well stated is a problem half solved." - Charles Kettering

Right now, I see a ton of people noticing all of the problems we have, and feeling overwhelmed by them, but not taking the time to understand the deeper meta-crisis' behind these issues.

This is a must.

We are in a time where complex systems are breaking down without our society, and yet we are looking at these problems with an overly simplistic and reductionist lens that is causing us to fail to recognize what the problems we face actually are.

Engaging the spirit of creating a set of solutions and societal design that is advantageous for all would be key. To do this it’s important we become aware of our bias, ideologies and adopt a more complex problem solving frame as the nature of our systems, humans and nature is all complex.

🥳 I'm excited to announce that the 5 Days of You Challenge is back!

If you feel you could use a bit of a "de-stress" and take some time to tune more deeply into yourself, then take notice of this free challenge. (Sign up details below.)

This challenge was birthed back in 2012 as I was wrapping up a feature documentary project that I was creatively ‘stuck’ on. I decided that trying to force my way through was not going to work.

So to solve my dilemma I challenged myself to embrace a few key concepts and practices around presence, embodiment and attunement to see where it took me.

Within a few days, creativity came rushing in and I ended up creating my most viewed and impactful film to date.

I enjoyed my results so much that I thought I would put them into a simple 5 day challenge and see if others had similar results.

So in 2013, I launched the very first 5 Days of You Challenge.

Over the course of the next 5 years, over 150,000 people took the challenge and the stories were inspiring to hear.

Starting Nov 28th, 2022 with a few upgrades, I offer the latest iteration of this classic challenge as we launch it again for free.

I invite you to explore yourself, your being, and gain clarity as we run another free 5 Days of You Challenge cohort.

Whether you are looking to de-stress a bit, slow down and get more in tune with yourself ,or gain a bit of insight and clarity from within, I believe this challenge can help.

Each day you will get a very short video and exercise/practice to play with throughout the day. This is not a demanding nor time consuming challenge, but a simple one that ca produce inspiring results.

What To Expect If You Join:

- Get a short video & exercise to complete each day
- Gain a deeper sense of yourself and surroundings
- Gain clarity on your felt sense, emotions, and thoughts
- Walk away with practical tools you can use for years to come
- Tip toe into the world of nervous system regulation
- It's free! Have fun and be curious as you explore it

If you’d like to join this free challenge click the link below.

✅ Click here to join for free

I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

Peace & Keep Exploring,
Joe

"Under the materialist paradigm, there is no awareness after death. Period. This is because under the materialist paradigm, consciousness requires the brain to exist, since awareness is seen as merely a product of brain activity. Therefore, materialism firmly closes the door to any study of consciousness after death, pinching us off from a greater understanding of death beyond the physical process of dying. So in this limited view, all investigations and evidence for mediumship, visitations from deceased loved ones, near death experiences, and past life memories are void to begin with. As post-materialist scientists, it is our job to open that door."
