(Jim Stempel) For at least two hundred years science has been telling us that any ideas of spirituality we might hold dear are little more than ignorant leftovers of a superstitious past – foolish relics. But the truth is, physics itself, that most foundational of all sciences, has now progressed far beyond that initial, dismissive assessment, to a conceptual worldview far more accepting of spirituality than ever before. To grasp the nuts and bolts of this new science, then, is to understand the nuts and bolts that support a new, evolving and far more sophisticated grasp of spirit than has ever before been available to us.

Three Psychological Difficulties that Affect Couples
(Exploring your Mind) When you have underlying issues to address, you’ll most likely have issues with other people as well. In particular, it’s clear that there are some psychological difficulties that affect couples, subjective issues that prevent a relationship’s good development.
Fertility Crisis: Men are Running out of Sperm Due to ‘Environmental Factors’
(Julie Fidler) The past 15 years have been tough on sperm cells. Research shows that men are running out of the little swimmers, and the number of men seeking infertility treatment has increased 7-fold while the quality of their sperm has plummeted. This could be more than a slight problem for humanity.
Working to the Beat: How Music Can Make Us More Productive
(Neuroscience News) Listening to music while working helps improve productivity and increases perceptions of happiness.
Mathematical Framework Explores How the Brain Keeps a Beat
(Neuroscience News) A new mathematical model can predict how the brain reacts when learning a rhythmic beat. The model shows how a neural network can act as a ‘neural metronome’ by estimating time intervals between beats within tens of milliseconds. The metronome relies on gamma oscillations to keep track of time.
Low Sex Drive in Women: 9 Causes and 7 Simple Solutions
(Dr. Edward F. Group) If you have trouble feeling “in the mood,” you’re not the only one. Low sex drive in women is one of the most commonly reported sexual problems.[1] Whether it’s caused by pregnancy, menopause, stress, or fatigue, loss of libido in women can happen at any time of life.
No Enigma: Vaccines and the Food Allergy Epidemic
(Collective Evolution) The United States faces an ever-worsening food allergy epidemic. An estimated 1 in 12 children (8%) have food allergies, and prevalence has risen by at least 50% since 1997. Childhood food allergies are the most common cause of anaphylaxis (a “severe allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death”).
Coca-Cola Caught Red-handed — Again
(Dr. Joseph Mercola) The Coca-Cola Company is no stranger to sneaky tactics. In addition to the scary health dangers of their namesake product that they actively attempt to hide, the soda giant has been caught influencing health policy and undermining public health initiatives — again.
Publication Bias: Understanding How and Why Science Can Be Wrong
(Exploring your Mind) Where does publication bias come from? It seems that, in medical literature, bias towards publishing striking results originates from journal editors.
North Is Relative: Geophysicists Say Earth’s Magnetic North Pole Is Moving Quickly
(Ethan Huff) It’s a well-established fact that Earth’s magnetic north pole is constantly on the move, which is why the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) updates the data in its World Magnetic Model every five years to reflect the north pole’s ever-fluctuating geographical position. But this constant magnetic shift has now become so dramatic that the World Magnetic Model is becoming obsolete much sooner than in times past, which some believe could be indicative of an impending pole shift.
Scientists Now Believe the Universe Itself May Be Conscious
(Jake Anderson) You don’t have to look far to find outlandish theories on the nature of the cosmos and human consciousness.
Antarctic Ice Core Records Resolve Competing Pole Shift Theories
(Dr. Michael Salla) A declassified CIA document called The Adam and Eve Story has generated much controversy over predictions of an upcoming pole shift (aka crustal displacement) and catastrophic events that may sweep the planet in the not distant future. The 57-page document is based on a book authored by Chan Thomas in 1963. In it, Thomas proposed a pole shift scenario that differed in significant ways with what Charles Hapgood had earlier proposed in his pioneering 1958 book, The Earth’s Shifting Crust.
Fructose Found to Alter Hundreds of Genes in the Brain
(Edsel Cook) A recent study reported that people who consume large amounts of fructose are more likely to develop all kinds of diseases because the sweetener affects numerous genes in the brain. Fructose causes gene alterations that are linked to serious diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes.
Media Admits That 10% of Those Infected with Measles Were Already Vaccinated, and That Measles Vaccines Don’t Even Work after a Few Years
(Ethan Huff) Though its official failure figure is somewhat questionable, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is finally admitting, at least, that the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella doesn’t always work as claimed – and even when it seems like it does, the vaccine’s effectiveness always wanes over time.
Scientists Have Proven That Negativity Literally Makes Cancer Grow Inside The Body
(Dr. Leonard Coldwell) Everybody feels negative emotions once in a while, but these emotions have a stronger effect on your health than you may realize. Every time you think about regrets, experience resentment or replay bad memories in your head, your body suffers just as much as your mind. That’s why harboring negative emotions can lead to devastating long-term disease.
