Are we dreaming our reality into existence? Are life and reality actually the same thing?

The Biocentric Universe Theory: Life Creates Time, Space, and the Cosmos Itself Stem-cell guru Robert Lanza presents a radical new view of the universe and everything in it. by Robert Lanza and Bob Berman (Discovermagazine.com)

Adapted from Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness Are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe, by Robert Lanza with Bob Berman, published by BenBella Books in May 2009. The farther we peer into space, the more we realize that the nature of the universe cannot be understood fully by inspecting spiral galaxies or watching distant supernovas. It lies deeper. It involves our very selves. This insight snapped into focus one day while one of us (Lanza) was walking through the woods. Looking up, he saw a huge golden orb web spider tethered to the overhead boughs. There the creature sat on a single thread, reaching out across its web to detect the vibrations of a trapped insect struggling to escape. The spider surveyed its universe, but everything beyond that gossamer pinwheel was incomprehensible. The human observer seemed as far-off to the spider as telescopic objects seem to us. Yet there was something kindred: We humans, too, lie at the heart of a great web of space and time whose threads are connected according to laws that dwell in our minds.

I read about The Soils, Food and Healthy Communities organization in this month's National Geographic - and it struck me as one of the few really effective and healthy strategies for agricultural development in Africa. The more I learn about permaculture, the more I feel like we all need to research and adopt these techniques as much as possible and as soon as possible. It simply makes sense that nature would, after billions of years of evolution, know just a little about what works best on planet Earth, you know?

Another wonderful TED Talk - this time featuring Elizabeth Gilbert, author of the book Eat, Pray, Love - on nurturing creativity... "Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk." Watch the video HERE. (Props to blog contributor Carmen Carnes.)

Thank you to Free Will Astrology for this one... Environmentalist and entrepreneur Paul Hawken "believes that we are in the midst of a world-changing rise of activist groups, all working toward ecological sustainability and social justice." Let's prove Hawken right by becoming active as planet changers! Paul Hawken's commencement speech -

"There is invisible writing on the back of the diploma you will receive, and in case you didn't bring lemon juice to decode it, I can tell you what it says: YOU ARE BRILLIANT, AND THE EARTH IS HIRING. The earth couldn't afford to send any recruiters or limos to your school. It sent you rain, sunsets, ripe cherries, night blooming jasmine, and that unbelievably cute person you are dating. Take the hint. And here's the deal: Forget that this task of planet-saving is not possible in the time required. Don't be put off by people who know what is not possible. Do what needs to be done, and check to see if it was impossible only after you are done." Check out Paul Hawken's book, too.
