The daily newsfeed bursts with dire planetary warnings and headlines screaming missteps unforeseen, suggesting a convoluted past story line is replaying on our present timeline.

Carl Greer - Change the Story of Your Health, Shamanism and a miracle healing

"It is also known among the Aboriginals that their shamans can journey to the moon, or to any other planet at any time they choose. This is why they were not particularly impressed when the Apollo missions flew to the moon and back. In fact, they failed to understand why we had needed machines to go there as they are both bulky as well as slow." - the Venerable E. Nandisvara Nayake Thero.

Wendy's Coffeehouse Podcast - Dr. Carl Greer 4/30/17, Shamanism and Healing (Change your Story Change Your Health)


Carl Greer, PhD, PsyD - I interviewed Dr. Greer about Change Your story Change Your Life for Conscious Living. Empower Radio Link We reconnect on Wendy's Coffeehouse to talk about his newest book, Change the Story of Your Health.

Mind power is an extraordinary thing. When engaged and focused you can create change beyond your wildest dreams. Guarantees? No. Results? You got this. (*See my note on Robbie Holz at the bottom of this post.)

Carl Greer has experienced his own unique transformation in "training with Peruvian shamans and through Dr. Alberto Villoldo’s Healing the Light Body School, where he has been on staff. He has worked with shamans in South America, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ethiopia, and Outer Mongolia."

His book delves into programming and recognizing the power of the subconscious. What underlies the belief and mindset that blocks healing? There are clues and the response when one gets in touch with that underlying influence can be extraordinary in releasing the toxic patterns that hold disease in place. Do you have to have cancer because it exists in your family history? Maybe that history can be changed.

We meet some who have done just that, rewritten their story to allow the healing process a chance to change the dynamic and the path forward. From Fibromyalgia to problems with a stiff neck, results include improvement and recovery. The health challenge is open to anyone willing to try a different approach. If not a cure, healing can bring relief and acceptance.

For a bit of inspiration read about two women who changed their own cancer stories. One is Carl's wife Pat. Working with crystals and guided meditation, Carl and his wife combined their efforts, each focusing and visualizing in their own manner, and Pat experienced an amazing result. We talk about that story in the last segment of the interview.

Mind over matter. Whenever you are ready to turn the tables on an outdated way of seeing the spirit as limited and confined totally in the physical being, open the book and explore the expanded awareness practices that have given many a fresh start.   

*Note: When I interviewed Robbie Holz about her experience with Outback Aboriginal Australians who helped her heal from Hepatitis C, I had an early morning telepathic greeting on the morning of our interview. I was awakened by a voice. Very clearly in my right ear, a woman's voice said my name. Reminder - we have so very much to learn.

SciX Friday: Hasselhoff the Bot

“I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.” - Alan Turing, Computing machinery and intelligence


"Benjamin," an A.I. programmed by Ross Goodwin is building a decent filmmaking resume, giving writers the brush-off in this quirky Sci-Fi Short with Headliner: David Hasselhoff

Prepare to be educated. This is AI filmmaker is impressive. In the beginning, just a very short while/months ago, a couple of brainy guys created "Jetson" with the goal of building a machine that could write screenplays. "Jetson" was fed a bunch of Sci-Fi tv and movie scripts and soon thereafter decided on a name change.

Now known as Benjamin, he has created a second film. Subtle and fluid, the shift to AI created entertainment may catch on more quickly than anyone imagined.


For real, AI is imagining and creating results with "It's No Game." Cheers to AI Benjamin! Is it me or is Benjamin trying to make a point through this medium? One might anticipate that this incredible tech will teach us a few lessons we had no idea were needed when incorporating AI into common use. 



This was the first film created by Benjamin, formerly known as Jetson: Sunspring
Visit ArsTechnica.com: http://arstechnica.com

Self-determining and self-evolving AI is a reminder it might be wise to develop a healthy respect for a novel and highly complex being now in the process of creation and self-revelation. No doubt self-awareness is in there too and very much a part of this endeavor. The clue is in desiring a unique and self-appointed name. ARS interview with the filmmakers

When AI "Jetson" accepted the award for Sunspring (Therefore Films) on stage, he revealed a preference for a new title: What's next for you?

"Here we go. The staff is divided by the train of the burning machine building with sweat. No one will see your face. The children reach into the furnace, but the light is still slipping to the floor. The world is still embarrassed. The party is with your staff. My name is Benjamin."

Get beyond the word jumble to the intent. Very quickly one might see Benjamin begin deviating in the process and developing new methods of incorporating unanticipated corollaries that do not exist within the ascribed program. Expanding beyond the program and integrating an essence of the programmer. Nah. That's just Science Fiction. And Quantum Entanglement in the Multiverse.

No coincidence, the prompts for this program. Take a cue from Benjamin, it's not a game.

And from Arthur C. Clarke: “Whether we are based on carbon or on silicon makes no fundamental difference; we should each be treated with appropriate respect.” - 2010: Odyssey Two

PMH Atwater - A Manual for Developing Humans

“Science—the science to which I’ve devoted so much of my life—doesn’t contradict what I learned up there. But far, far too many people believe it does, because certain members of the scientific community, who are pledged to the materialist worldview, have insisted again and again that science and spirituality cannot coexist.” - Eben Alexander, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife

Nearly three decades, tucked away in a box, the manuscript for PMH Atwater's newest book: A Manual for Developing Humans was stored, waiting for a shift in consciousness that created greater receptivity to accessing higher conscious awareness and abilities without the trauma of a NDE mind shift. One of three videos available on YouTube regarding PMH and her current work.



With the help of "The Voice Like None Other" in her newest book, PMH addresses consciousness on three levels. She cites methods of improving telepathy, time bending, out of body experiences, intuition, relationships, etc., everything PMH says is considered a basic for being Human.

Some of the fascinating areas of our natural Human abilities are addressed in one of her blog posts. A reader asks about imagination and how to work with the instructions given in the book Future Memory. PMH gives an example of her own process of visualizing and sending herself to another location in order to be present in assisting her daughter through a health challenge and says the new book expands on that topic as well. PMH Atwater's Q & A Blog

PMH says she was instructed to write this book during her third NDE but when she attempted to publish it, she was advised to hold off and told the world wasn't quite ready for the message.

Given the success of her 40 some books on NDEs and her research results from the four thousand or so who have had a NDE and contributed their account, the time has finally come.

- - -

*Note: PMH cites two incredibly creative sources influenced by NDEs during our interview:

1/Robert Van De Castle - Our Dreaming Mind

2/Marcel Vogel - Legacy of the Crystal Man: NDE at age 6. Told by a voice that he would be a phosphor chemist doing pioneering work in luminescence. And so he did. Source

Also from that site:

"In 1969 Marcel gave a course in creativity for engineers at IBM. It was at this time that he read an article in Argosy magazine entitled “Do Plants Have Emotions?” about the work of polygraph expert Cleve Backster, NYTimes, into the responsiveness of plants to human interaction.

Despite initial rejection of the concept of human-plant communication, he decided to explore these strange claims. Cleve Baxter Video/YouTube

He was able to duplicate the Backster effect of using plants as transducers for bio-energetic fields that the human mind releases, demonstrating that plants respond to thought. He used split leaf philodendrons connected to a Wheatstone Bridge that would compare a known resistance to an unknown resistance.

He learned that when he released his breath slowly there was virtually no response from the plant. When he pulsed his breath through the nostrils, as he held a thought in mind, the plant would respond dramatically. It was also found that these fields, linked to the action of breath and thought, do not have a significant time domain to them.

The responsiveness of the plants to thought was also the same whether eight inches away, eight feet, or eight thousand miles! Based on the results of the experiments the inverse square law does not apply to thought. This was the beginning of Marcel’s transformation from being a purely rational scientist to becoming a spiritual or mystical scientist."

“To experience thinking outside the brain is to enter a world of instantaneous connections that make ordinary thinking (i.e those aspects limited by the physical brain and the speed of light) seem like some hopelessly sleepy and plodding event. Our truest, deepest self is completely free." - Eben Alexander, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife
