Robert Anton Wilson: The Acceleration Towards 2012
Submitted by Jray Nels on June 26, 2009 - 11:03amR.A.W. himself said in an interview, "I get about as far as 2012 in my future projections, then I can't imagine beyond that. So much is going to change by then."
When asked, "What do you see coming along up to 2012?" he answered:
"In Leary's terms, I think about one-third of the West now understands the neuro-somatic circuit, and some techniques for activating it. I think that's going to reach fifty to fifty-one percent pretty soon - and that will be a major cultural change. I think more and more understanding of the neuro-genetic and meta-programming circuits are coming along...
It's very obvious that quantum physics, parapsychology and all the work they're doing attaching brain scanners to Yogis and Zen masters means we're going to learn a great deal about the non-local quantum circuit. I think the history of mysticism has been sort of like a bunch of firecrackers with two or three going off every century. With the LSD revolution it became two or three every month and now it's moving up to two or three every week. I see a real acceleration in consciousness, just like in technology."

Yogiraj Gurunath gives Soul Consciousness Experience at the United Nations
Submitted by Jray Nels on April 11, 2009 - 9:04pmYogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath speaks on Mahavatar Babaji Kriya Yoga, Earth peace through Self peace in the context of the relationship between global ethics and the public good, as part of a panel discussion held by the Friendship Club of the United Nations and organized by the Caucus on Spirituality, Values and Global Concerns. Held at United Nations International Headquarters in Manhattan, New York, United States. Yogiraj is a living master and solar seer, and helps sincere practitioners of yogic meditation awaken to higher levels of consciousness through chakra awakening/activation and esoteric practices of Himalayan yoga.
Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath was born on May 10, 1944 in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. He has been meditating since the age of 3, and spent his early years in the Himalayas amongst the HamsaNath yogis, in whose presence he was transformed. The divine transformation flowered after his deep and personal experiences in 1961 and 1967 with the yogi-christ Mahavatar Shiv-Goraksha-Babaji, the same spiritual master described in Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi. He has a wife of 30+ years, Gurumata Shivangani, with whom he built by hand the Hamsa Yoga Sangh Ashram (Spiritual Retreat) outside the city of Pune, near Bombay, India. They have two sons, and two grandchildren. Yogiraj teaches yogic meditation for the evolution of human consciousness. These perennial practices of yoga are the most ancient closely guarded sacred practices of the Himalayan yogis and masters from time immemorial. They help the practitioner gradually transform him/herself into the likeness of his/her own divinity. This ancient art and science has been a way of life for rare yogis and ascetics of India and abroad who have sacrificed everything in the search for their own inner Truth, their inner Godessence. Today, Yogiraj demonstrates in his own life and livingness, that powerful spiritual practice can be integrated with family life and a career. By the blessings of Babaji, Yogiraj teaches these techniques, which he collectively calls "The Alchemy of Total Transformation" to sincere seekers throughout the world, who wish to integrate these practices into their daily life, without the necessity of giving up worldly pursuits.

Join award winning documentary film makers Som and Rita Bakshi as they follow the path of a yogi's mystic journey through the Himalayas.

Deepak Chopa analyzes human responses, such as the 'fight or flight' response, the reactionary response, as well as intuitive, creative, and visionary response. He defines his awareness of meta-biological evolution, and suggests that there is an urgent need for the wizard within us to awaken, for we are, "risking the extinction of Mother Earth and this wonderful Universe of which we are a privileged species."
