Ich habe in letzter Zeit ein paar Mal Politsendungen à la Maischinger angesehen und bin entsetzt, von was für fantasielosen, jammernden Politiker wir regiert (regiert!) werden. Warum geht kein Aufschrei durch Deutschland

Die meisten Menschen glauben, dass der Mensch alles Andere als perfekt ist und genau das manifestiert sich auch. Dieser sich selbst erfüllende Glaubenssatz wird von der Wissenschaft noch verstärkt, welche natürlich auch nur im Rahmen der Glaubenssätze operiert. Wenn man aus dieser Schublade ausbrechen will, muss man smartere mentale Werkzeuge nutzen, wie z.B.… Read the rest

In Diskussionen über Spiritualität vs. Realität taucht immer wieder die Frage der “Realisten” auf: Warum sollte ich mir mehr Spiritualität wünschen oder: Was für einen Wert soll das haben.

Science describes the philosophy that everything is alive as Hylozoism and the philosophy that everything is conscious as Panpsychism. One of the main representants of Panpsychism is the German  Theodor Fechner (1801-1887).

This is a quote from the philosopher William James’s (Pluralistic Universe) , describing Fechner’s work:

“For him the abstract lived in the concrete, and the hidden motive of all he did was to bring what he called the daylight view of the world into ever greater evidence, that daylight view being this, that the whole universe in its different spans and wave-lengths, exclusions and envelopment, is everywhere alive and conscious… The original sin, according to Fechner, of both our popular and our scientific thinking, is our inveterate habit of regarding the spiritual not as the rule but as an exception in the midst of nature.… Read the rest

Scientists have recognized for some time that people suffering from depression often experience a substantial reduction in symptoms when given a placebo. In fact, this observation has led some researchersto propose that up to 75 percent of the apparent efficacy of antidepressant medicine may actually be attributable to the placebo effect.

“If we have emotions, we have then only memory. In imagination, we are free from emotion. That is why daydreamers resort to imagination to lift them up from depression. If society’s scientists and medical doctors, neuroscientists, and neurophysicists destroy imagination, they have destroyed the natural Prozac of human luster.”

And even more:

“In the old days, really old days, leaders of continents, nations, and principalities taught people how to think. To help them along, they used to put an herb called rauwolfia in the community water well. In other words, quietly they endeavored to put the herb equivalent of Prozac in the village water well. The reason they did that was because leaders of peoples a long, long time ago had a very different responsibility than the famed and fortunate ones of today. They had the exquisite duty of reinstating confidence, protection, and equalness within the people, and rauwolfia was a wonderful drug in water that relieved people’s insecurity.”

. Meditation is not a solution of any problem in particular; it solves nothing. It simply helps you to get rid of the mind, the problem-creator. It simply helps you to slip out of the mind like a snake slips out of the old skin.… Read the rest
