The Dalai Lama and Buddhist Science

Gene Hart, Guest Waking Times Why does consciousness seem to complicate reality? – A question that arose in my mind upon hearing that His Holiness the Dalai Lama was coming to England to spread his teachings of non-violence. The Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, was visiting Manchester to share his wisdom and knowledge,

My Journey Into The Sanskrit Texts

V. Susan Ferguson, Contributor Waking Times I have always been drawn to India, her beauty and wisdom, and especially the Bhagavad Gita. Over the years of my life I would try again and again the read the Bhagavad Gita, only to realize that I simply did not understand it. Since 2002, I began an ongoing

What is Your Life Worth?

Christina Sarich, Staff Writer Waking Times I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion.

We’re Coming Home

Ida Lawrence, Contributor Waking Times An email came in from a friend today with just a “Hi!”, and a note: “I’m traveling, trying to find my way back home to the celestial.” This is a friend I’ve never met in person, but I have met in the heart. We have enjoyed each other’s writing and

Fukushima: A Shocking Indictment of Modern Society

Chris Bourne, Openhand Contributor Waking Times I just came across this report on RT about the alarming Fukushima situation.

I am a

The Cosmic Shift, Unconscious Crazies and Moving Forward

Zen Gardner, Guest Waking Times There’s a lot of very interesting information available on this transition we’re going through and with many interpretations, and some great advice on how to manage these vibrational changes.

Civil Disobedience: The Right of Revolution

Barbara H. Peterson, Guest Waking Times Henry David Thoreau’s essay “On the Duty of Civil Disobedience” written in 1849 is as relevant to the times now as it was then.

At the Threshold: How Near-Death Experiences Transform People

P.M.H. Atwater, L.H.D., New Dawn Waking Times My research has shown me that the near-death experience is not some kind of anomaly, but is, rather, part of the larger genre of transformations of consciousness. The clue most researchers miss is stress; specifically, the intensity which comes from that stress (known in shamanism as “high stress”).

Wall Street and the Hegelian Dialectic

Andrew Dilks, Contributor Waking Times These days, describing the big banks as criminal syndicates extorting billions from the public is hardly sticking one’s head above the parapet: the foreclosures scandal, in which GMAC, Bank of America, CitiBank, JPMorganChase and others ignored banking laws in their fervour to throw people out of their homes as quickly

To me it is a deceptive

Zen and the Art of Chinese Medicine

Steven Alpern, Guest Waking Times The scroll of Zen Buddhist monk Sengai (1750-1838) entitled Circle, Triangle, and Square is a concise symbolic expression of classical (Neijing style) Chinese medical thinking. While this brush painting may not be language in the conventional sense, it articulates Sengai’s intention with clarity and power. Practitioners raised and educated in

3 Reasons Why Darwinism Fails to Define Human Nature

Christina Sarich, Staff Writer Waking Times  You’ve heard of ‘survival of the fittest’, the Darwinian paradigm that has shaped at least the last 1000 years or more of civilization? It turns out, that though Darwin had some interesting observations of the natural world, he was gravely mistaken about human nature, and its ability to evolve

4 Examples of What Happens When You Follow Hollywood’s Health and Medical Choices

Raluca Schachter, Guest Waking Times It is much, much easier for people to place responsibility for health in ”authorities” hands. Conventional medical industry, pharmaceutical companies, scientists, celebrities… They know what they are doing and saying, right? Your relation to your own body, its reactions, your instinct, your body’s natural healing abilities, common sense and ancestral
