"Three statistically significant peaks of highs had occurred in all five computers at exactly the same three moments: a small peak at 9 a.m. Pacific time, a larger peak an hour later, and then an enormous peak seven minutes after that. These three blips corresponded to the three most important final moments of the trial: when the show first started, with the initial television commentary ?the time when most people would have turned on their television sets ?then the beginning of the broadcast of the actual courtroom proceedings, and finally the exact moment the verdict was announced." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"It really ought to be the other way around because even the computers they're developing now can't compare. Lower forms of life, like a reptile, just have a brain stem. But as the brain developed a mid brain and then the fore brain—that's where the cerebral reasoning function is—a very important center was developed deep inside the brain called the limbic system. If you were to take the brain out and spread it out, it would cover about three square feet. The brain in its evolution is like a piece of thin fabric that has been folded inside and molded into a ball to fit inside the skull." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"Keep your space free of electrical gadgets and computers. POWER UP In order to "power up" to peak intensity, you must first slow your brain waves down to a meditative, or "alpha," state of light meditation or dreaming—when the brain emits frequencies (measured on an EEG) of 8-13 hertz (cycles per second). Sit in a comfortable position. Many people like to sit upright in a hard-backed chair, with their hands placed on their knees. You may also sit on the floor cross-legged." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Most of the cramped rooms contained photomultipli-ers, large modern boxes attached to computers that count photon emissions. One room housed another smaller room, with a bed and a photomultiplier for human subjects. Pride of place was reserved for a strange homemade contraption of welded metal circles, resembling a David Smith sculpture of scrap metal that periodically clanged. That, Popp said with pride, was his first photomultiplier, assembled in 1976 by his student, Bernhard Ruth, and still one of the most accurate pieces of equipment in the field." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "These anecdotal stories of the gremlin effect are not so far-fetched when you consider the mountains of data generated by the PEAR laboratory, demonstrating that human intention has the ability to make the random output of computers more orderly even when the intention is not conscious or deliberate. Living consciousness might have a major effect on microprocessor technology, which is now exquisitely sensitive. The tiniest disturbances in a quantum process can be highly disruptive." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Once, during a day of extreme agitation, after I had broken my computer and printer at home, I headed off for work and tried to use a variety of computers around my company's office. One by one, they died in my hands. When one of our laser copier printers also froze the moment I tried to photocopy a page, my team firmly but politely escorted me off the premises. The late Jacques Benveniste discovered the gremlin effect firsthand when he carried out experiments on electromagnetic signaling between cells." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"In addition to reading, our other intergenerational programs focus on the use of computers, gardening, and other activities designed to stimulate the bodies and minds of learners of all ages and create opportunities for the mutual transfer of knowledge and wisdom. Gardening allows learners of all ages to learn about natural cycles, food production, and the enjoyment of natural settings." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "As a new generation of elderly boomers develop memory problems, they will already be more familiar with computers, and will appreciate the potential to enhance cognitive function and network with others. Television network for the aging Several years ago, Fox sent me the pilot episode for a new reality series they were developing called Senior Moments." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "In addition, this view treats aging persons technically, as if they were computers with malfunctioning hardware, and leaves the caring process vague and undeveloped while implying that nothing will get better until a technological fix comes along.2 In a recent article in The New York Times, Gina Kolata wrote: "Rigorous studies are now showing that seeing, or hearing, gloomy nostrums about what it is like to be old can make people walk more slowly, hear and remember less well, and even affect their cardiovascular systems. Positive images of aging have the opposite effects." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Indeed, it behooves us to consider a future in which personal digital assistants (PDAs), computers, and smart houses can be refined and redesigned to be friendlier to persons with dementia in ways that address their personal needs, provide companionship, and protect their physical and mental frailty. For instance, in most homes and in long-term-care facilities such as nursing homes, televisions are ubiquitous. If we replace televisions with interactive computer screens, a new world of therapeutic programming opens up." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"However, the lifestyle realities of the modern world—with electric lights that turn night into day and our penchant for staying continually stimulated via TV, computers, and other media—mean that your natural rhythms are continually disrupted and your mind-body overstimulated. More often than not, your circadian rhythms are affected in ways that can carry serious health consequences." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"In Figure 8, we can see how our inner experiences perform the same role in consciousness as their counterparts do in our computers. Equivalent Roles of an Electronic Computer Program as Consciousness Electronic Program Command Consciousness Program Command Work "1- [j^* Emotion Completion Feeling/Belief Figure 8. Comparison between the three generic elements for computer programs and their equivalents in the consciousness programs of the universe. The Begin Command In an electronic computer, the begin command is what starts a program and gets things going." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"I also froze urine samples of patients with schizophrenia, which were then sent off to Linus Pauling at Stanford; learned how to program computers to conduct data analysis; and presented findings at a psychophysiol-ogy conference. Through my research, I was utterly caught up in the passion of trying to make psychiatry a "real" science. Around the same time, I came across an article about a hospital in Norway that was offering depressed patients the option of treatment with antidepressants or daily exercise." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"While he was developing the programs to run his early computers, he asked a question that sounds more like something out of the plot of a novel than an idea meant to be taken as a serious scientific possibility. Zuse's question was simply this: Is it possible that the entire universe operates as a big computer, with a code that makes whatever is possible, possible? Or, perhaps even more bizarre, he wondered if a form of cosmic computing machinery is continually creating the universe and everything in it." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.) "Although the descriptions themselves are tremendously oversimplified, they will allow us to compare the fractal of electronic computers to the larger workings of the universe. The parallels are fascinating. The similarity is unmistakable. ?The output of a computer is the result of the work it's done. All of the computations that happen inside the bits, chips, and circuits that compose its hardware are made visible as the information that we see as charts, graphs, words, and pictures." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"In fact, the more technologically advanced a nation becomes, the less time people spend outdoors at midday and the more time they spend indoors behind machines or computers. Why are rickets and severe D deficiency so common in poor and unindustrialized countries? The answer is that many of these countries are poverty-ridden, and when you're malnourished in protein and fat, that reduces your production of cholesterol, which is the precursor to vitamin D." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Like everyone else in the world, these computers had snapped to attention to find out whether O.J. was innocent or guilty.1 The possibility that a collective consciousness might exist had been taking shape for many years in Dean Radin's mind, perhaps even influenced by his mother, who'd been interested in yoga all those years ago. Certainly, this notion was a familiar concept in ancient and Eastern cultures. But others, like psychologist William James, had proposed that the brain simply reflects this collective intelligence, like a radio station picking up signals and transmitting them." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"This includes televisions, computers, and radios (you'll sleep better with these distracting objects out!). Use a battery-operated clock. Take inventory of your closet and clear out clothes made of unnatural fibers. Make a mental note to avoid buying clothes that require dry cleaning. Choose natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool, and hemp. When you do choose to dry-clean certain pieces, let them aerate outside for a day before placing them in your closet or wearing them. (And be sure to remove any plastic covering from the cleaners!" - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"These included perfluorochemicals, or PFCs (found in some stain and oil repellants); flame retardants used in the manufacturing of furniture foam, computers, televisions, and kids'furniture; metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, much of which enters the environment through burning coal, gasoline, and garbage), and chlorinated dioxins." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "High-school students seem to spend the majority of their waking hours surgically attached to computers, cell phones, MP3 players—so much so that they don't notice what's going on in the world around them. Getting your teenagers involved in a sport or any other athletic activity is an effective means of combating our increasingly sedentary ways, all the while fostering a sense of belonging and achievement. Stress and Self-Reliance Instilling a strong work ethic at an early age is the most important gift you can give your child." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "Organochlorine pesticides (OCs) 7 chemicals (2-6) Sources and uses of chemicals in newborn blood Chemical family name Total number of chemicals found in 10 newborns (range in individual babies Stain and grease resistant coatings for food wrap, carpet, furniture Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) 8 chemicals (4-8) Fire retardants in TVs, computers, furniture Polybrominated di-phenyl ethers (PBDEs) 32 chemicals (13-29) Chemicals banned or severely resticted in the U.S. (and their breakdown products) 212 chemicals (111-185) Pesticides, phased out of use in U.S." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.) "I would avoid bedding that has been treated with brominated flame retardants (BFRs), which are present in an alarmingly wide range of consumer products: TVs, computers, mattresses, carpets, kitchen appliances, paints, sheets, baby mattresses, and pajamas. BFRs are added to prevent fires and reduce property damage, but scientific studies have raised concerns that they might also be contaminating wildlife and people on a large scale. Dr. Kenneth Bock considers flame retardants "a double-edged sword. You don't want something to catch on fire and have your kid burn," he said. " - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Our electromagnetic fields are scrambled by the constant bombardment of waves from all directions: cell phones, microwaves, TV, electric lines, computers, and the alternating current in our houses, just to mention a few. Our senses are dulled by the smell of exhaust fumes or pesticides sprayed on lawns, the sound of the constant drone of traffic or Muzak in the grocery store, the feel of concrete under our feet or the touch of synthetic clothing on our skin, the sight of skyscrapers or identical houses all in a row, and the taste of chlorine in our water or the old grease of fast food." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Those who become truly skilled in, for example, computers and programming simply start messing around with computers; and those who learn to write well, start writing. Enthusiasm for learning is natural, but many teachers and parents, by distrusting children's natural curiosity and forcing them to learn things they are not interested in, subvert this inherent component of humanity. Depressed people are often mired in the past and obsess over the future, focusing on what has happened or what will happen. Becoming fully present means focusing on what you're doing and experiencing right now." - Bruce E. Levine, Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy (Get the book.)

"I understand that, in our age of data banks, many pharmacies keep track of what their clients are taking and their computers "red flag" possible adverse interactions. Physicians will soon have access to that information to inform their patients about potentially dangerous drug/supplement reactions. (Now that I have that off my chest, let's get back to Fran. . . .) After I determined which herbs and supplements Fran could safely take together, I suggested that she also change her diet and incorporate mental imagery into her daily routine." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"There is an ever-growing debate about how the electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) from cell phones and wireless computers affect our health. There is enough evidence now to at least put a little "caution" sticker on them in our minds. Think how tired your mind, eyes, and ears are after a long session on a cell phone or computer. That's really all the evidence you need to know that these devices drain your energy." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Daily observations of atmospheric pressure and rainfall flow in from hundreds of weather stations, just as they came to Sir Gilbert Walker's clerks in the 1920s, but now they are downloaded automatically into computers. Some locations, like Darwin, Australia, have records going back more than a century. The researchers collect fisheries records from California and South America, even written accounts of weather conditions by fifteenth-century Spanish colonists in Ecuador and Peru." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "In an era long before computers and electronic mail, he enlisted hundreds of weather technicians and clerks for the laborious task of computing the statistical correlations between climatic variables collected from different observation stations around the world. These variables included surface pressure, temperature, rainfall, and sunspots. In a series of tightly argued papers published during the 1920s, Walker concluded that when atmospheric pressure was high in the Pacific Ocean it tended to be low in the Indian Ocean, from Africa to Australia, and vice versa." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"As a member of the newly formed technical-services department, I spent most of my days, evenings, and weekends learning the ins and outs of new computers and applying what I learned to the traditional concepts of petroleum geology. I hadn't really considered owning any pets simply because I was never home enough to care for one. One weekend a friend was visiting and brought me an unexpected gift: a beautiful orange and blond kitten about five weeks old. He was the runt of the litter and named Tigger after the tiger in the classic Winnie-the-Pooh children's books." - Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.)
