Despite the fact that a tremendous amount of scientific research exists -from independent to peer-reviewed -that clearly shows a definitive link between consciousness and our physical material world, this type of study has remained controversial. Again, despite the wide range of substantiated scientifically valid results, it’s sometimes grouped in the realm of “pseudoscience.”

Since its release the Pokemon Go app has become a worldwide sensation, downloaded more than 100 million times. The app has not been without controversy however as players, unaware of their surroundings, have received numerous injuries, been robbed at gun point and even died. Critics of the app fear that the worst is yet to come.

There is an increasing awareness of the possibility of highly classified military projects, who are developing technology that is kept hidden from the wider public. In this insightful video Dr Steven Greer discusses how these “black projects” are funded, partly through illegal activities and partly through the monetization of technologies discovered by studying downed extraterrestrial vehicles.

The physical apparatus we use to process the world is being re-shaped, and if we don’t preserve what we once had, our very sense of being will shift permanently and irreversibly. The content of our digital lives is no longer an appendage to life — it is reaching a point where it is life.

Online harassment is a problem of epidemic proportions that is increasing around the world at an alarming rate. Frequently cloaked in anonymity and with an air of moral righteousness, online trolls and cyberstalkers reveal the worst side of human nature in their efforts to attack and suppress the expression of free will and freedom of belief.

For over 30 years the few scientists willing to publicly investigate para-psychological phenomena have been uncovering statistically significant evidence that paranormal abilities exist. However despite a majority of people believing these abilities are possible (including many scientists) there is a public taboo on para-psychological (or “Psi”) research. This insightful video and article by Dr Dean Radin explain why.

With an abundance of recent press coverage featuring global thought-leaders extolling the virtues of virtual reality (VR) technology, it’s easy to get caught up in a utopian view of a society filled with VR tech. Fewer people are asking the tough questions, like whether VR technology could have wide ranging harmful psychosocial impacts throughout people’s lives, even for their spirituality.

The coming “singularity” is heralded as a time of enormous spiritual significance. But can machines truly be spiritual? Are they free? Or are freedom and spirituality born from consciousness which machines sorely lack? In this insightful opinion piece Jon Rappoport explores whether consciousness is being negated and replaced with a technocratic religion as a subtle form of social control.

Dreams have long remained a private domain, a personal doorway into the unconscious mind. As reported by Kieron Monks for CNN in 2014 however, neuroscientists and psychologists are now using smartphone and EEG technology to access, socialise and influence people’s dreams on a wide scale. Scientists have even developed the rudimentary ability to mechanically interpret dreamscapes based on brain activity.

As humanity continues into the new millennium, technology and communication continue to play an increasingly important role in human life. Today, most people in developed countries are completely connected through cell phones, tablets and computers. Today’s households have an increasing array of electrical devices, from wireless modems to intelligent appliances to smart meters. Where 50 years ago, 1 electrical outlet ...
