"Astronauts have even used biofeedback to cure motion sickness while journeying to outer space.45 The more conventional view of biofeedback maintains that it has something to do with relaxation—learning to calm down the fight-or-flight responses of our autonomic nervous system. However, the sheer breadth of control would argue that the mechanism has more to do with the power of intention. Virtually every bodily process measurable on a machine—even a single nerve cell controlling a muscle fiber—appears to be within an individual's control." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"And the neurotics are significantly less work, too—it's a lot easier to talk in a relaxed fashion with someone about their marital problems, their self-esteem issues, their financial woes than it is to attempt to manage people who think that satellites are shocking them from outer space; who hallucinate about having sex with Jesus Christ; who imagine they are the love child of Sammy Davis Jr." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Okay, you head-shakers, if all this just seems too fantastic to believe, let me ask you why you have no trouble accepting the fact that you can watch Oprah on your cellphone, thanks to invisible electrical impulses from outer space that communicate with cell towers to activate tiny computer programs in your handheld appliance. An invisible but equally powerful, comparable process also happens in our bodies. Why do you think that after two months female dorm mates find their menstrual periods have synchronized?" - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"The world would exist as a matrix of indivisible interrelation, just as Ed had experienced it in outer space. What was so evidently missing from standard biology was an explanation for the organizing principle - for human consciousness. Ed began devouring books about religious experiences, Eastern thought, and the little scientific evidence that existed on the nature of consciousness." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "For many years, Edgar Mitchell, now 71, depended on lectures about his exploits in outer space to fund his research into consciousness. Every so often Robert Jahn would submit a paper with unimpeachable statistical evidence to an engineering journal, and they would dismiss it out of hand. Not for the science, but for its shattering implications about the current scientific world view. Nevertheless, Jahn and Puthoff and the other scientists all knew what they had. Each carried on with the stubborn blinkered confidence of the true inventor. The old way was simply one more hot-air balloon." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "At that same conference, he and Pribram were honored together for their exploration of outer space and inner space ?Pribram for his scientific work on the holographic brain, and Mitchell for outstanding scientific work on noetic sciences. That same year, Pribram received the Dagmar and Vaclav Havel prize for bringing together the sciences and humanities. Hal Puthoff sat on the unofficial subcommittee of NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Program: the Advanced Deep Space Transport (ADST) Group ?a group of people, he said, who are on the 'frontier of the frontier'." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "It concerned his famous experiments on precognition and extrasensory perception, including the card tests which would later be used by Edgar Mitchell in outer space. Rhine had conducted all of his experiments under carefully controlled conditions and they had yielded interesting results.2 The studies had shown that it was possible for a person to transmit information about card symbols to another or increase the odds of a certain number being rolled with a set of dice. Schmidt had been drawn to Rhine's work for its implications in physics." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"This conservative posturing masked a bold curiosity that led him into exotic areas of inquiry—the rhythms of biological systems, the volatile energy of outer space, the nature of epilepsy, the source of mystical visions—disparate areas that eventually converged in his mind after an extraordinary epiphany. Persinger realized that living things are attuned not only to each other, but also to the Earth and its continually shifting magnetic energies." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"No matter how deeply we peer into the quantum world of the atom or how far we reach into the vastness of outer space, the act of us looking with the expectation that something exists may be precisely the force that creates something for us to see. A participatory universe . . . exactly what would that entail? If consciousness really creates, then how much power do we actually have to change our world? The answer may surprise you." - Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.)

"Astronauts, for example, had the privilege of looking at Earth from outer space; they have seen a precious world without boundaries, a home to all humans and all living things. They came back different people. They realized how petty and superficial it is to squabble over privileges and powers when we live on a resplendent planet unique in this corner of the universe. Another life- and mind-transforming experience is the experience of coming back from the portals of death. People who have had a near-death experience return to everyday life with a deeply altered consciousness." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"Lorber wrote about many of the fruits found in outer space. Saturn, I was overjoyed to learn, produces pyramid fruits, fire fruits and rainbow-colored ship fruits used as boats. Ubra fruits, Lorber said, are nine-foot-high mercury pouches that grow on branchless trees whose square trunks of green glass shine like mirrors, allowing passersby to check out their reflections. There are so many examples of fruits in mythology you can spend the rest of your life documenting them; in fact, that's kind of what happened to James George Frazer, author ofThe Golden Bough." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "It's like watching an educational film about venereal diseases in outer space. As the geckos' tongues dart out, they flick the flowers, sending microscopic bursts of residual pollen into the air. Pollination occurs through wind dispersal, although legend has it that, at night, the trees move close together and the male and female flowers copulate noisily. Anyone unlucky enough to witness this phenomenon is, it's said, instantly transformed into a black parrot or a coco-de-mer fruit. After fertilization, it takes seven years for the fruit to mature." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Nor, as Carl Sagan recently pointed out, can we ship 240,000 people to other planets in outer space every day. Since ten thousand years ago, humanity has grappled with the complex problem of feeding itself in the face of growing numbers of people and unpredictable climate change. Fortunately, we are unique among animals in our ability to transmit, through language, knowledge and experience from one generation to the next, so each benefits from the cumulative experience of earlier times." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"I continue flying into outer space. I begin to fly past planets. This is incredible! Finally, I decide to stop. I look down about forty degrees and there's a large planet with rings and four moons. I notice that two of the moons seem to have ghostly rings around them while the others don't. The main planet's ring is kind of orangish gold. Two of the moons are to the right, with a third almost halfway behind the planet. The fourth moon is on the left side of the planet. I marvel at the profound sight of seeing an entire planet hanging in space. It's so incredibly silent and still." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"This is the next great frontier: not outer space, but inner space. Moreover, research and development in this area is more than just an option; it has now become an imperative. In the chapters that follow, we will see how the crises in which humanity now finds itself demand that we undergo a fundamental shift in consciousness. Our power to change the world may have made prodigious leaps, but our internal development, the development of our attitudes and values, has progressed much more slowly." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Temperatures in the refrigerator—a room-sized circular apparatus with a number of cylinders—can descend to a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero, almost -459 °F, three thousand times colder than the farthest reaches of outer space. For two days, liquid nitrogen and helium circulate around the refrigerator, and then three pumps constantly blasting out gaseous helium take the temperature down to the final rung. Without heat of any description, the atoms in matter slow to a crawl. At this scale of coldness, the universe would grind to a halt." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"He looks at me, then his face registers surprise as I fly right past him, higher and higher into the night sky and beyond to the gray dark outer space. After a while of flying deeper and deeper into the darkness, I stop and ask the dream to show me something important to see . . . A day later, at 4 a.m. on August 14, our small cat uncharacteristically jumped right on my stomach and woke me up. I played with the cat for a moment and tried to get it to lie down and sleep, but it refused to lie down and kept rubbing me. A few minutes later, the bedside phone rang, and I thought, "Dad has died." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) "A fellow lucid dreamer once commented that whenever he had lucid dreams of outer space, he couldn't help but wonder if he had really moved deeper and deeper into inner space. The experiences often felt profound and mind expanding, he said, but he wondered if the journey had been symbolic of an inner one. His insight struck me, since I too wondered if these journeys represented a movement of inner depth with the wings of the mind. Mental space can twist the mind of the lucid dreamer. In one sense, you paradoxically experience the illusion of space and the infinity of space." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.) "Whether it was inner or outer space, I wasn't sure (May 1985): I'm with some friends in the darkness of space. We seem to be on a platform, but it's nowhere—it's not connected to anything—we're surrounded by space. I think I become lucid at this point and decide to go flying. What an unbelievable trip! I'm flying through space, but suddenly I realize that I'm flying through time as well. At this moment, I know that space equals time and somehow this space puckers; as I move through it, it's thicker in spots than others." - Robert Waggoner, Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self (Get the book.)

"For three hundred years we have examined the workings of our body in more and more intricate detail, reducing our field of vision to smaller and smaller areas, only to discover that our inner space is remarkably like outer space. Just how atoms 'talk' to each other was initially dismissed by scientists as being preposterous. Albert Einstein said it was 'spooky'. But over the past thirty years the process of 'entanglement' has become more and more accepted by the scientific community. So what is 'entanglement'?" - Robin, Dr. Kelly, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells (Get the book.)

"Earth as they do in outer space. But they are expensive for companies to follow, and meat packers like to keep costs down, so they sometimes cut corners on compliance. Hence: recalls. No question, producing safer meat costs more, which is one of the reasons why "natural" and organic meats are priced so high (I will have more to say about these kinds in the next chapter). The Coleman Natural Meat Company, for example, which sells meats packaged as "Purely Natural," advertises on its Web site that it follows a HACCP plan." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"He noted: The year 1976 has been an active and successful year both in outer space and in the U.N. Committee of the Peaceful Uses of outer space.... During the past year, the United States has continued to participate cooperatively with other nations in the exploration of outer space. We have, for example launched Helios-2, built by the Federal Republic of Germany, the second scientific satellite to investigate the properties of interplanetary space close to the Sun." - Leonard G. Horowitz, D.M.D., M.A., M.P.H., Emerging Viruses: AIDS And Ebola : Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Get the book.)

"If we were somehow able to observe the eternally inflating universe from outside, as the surface of the Earth can be observed from outer space, we would see a multitude of island universes scattered in the vast inflating sea of false vacuum. If the universe is closed, then the view that would open in front of us might in fact resemble a picture of the globe, with continents and archipelagos surrounded by the ocean.* This globe is expanding at a staggering speed, the island universes are also growing exceedingly fast, and tiny new islands constantly appear and immediately start to expand." - Alex Vilenkin, Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes (Get the book.)

"The rival theory has much in common with this scenario, but attributes the appearance of life to a combination of influences hailing from outer space. In its infancy, the earth was subject to a high level of radiation, frequent bombardment by asteroids, and a rain of cosmic dust every time it passed through the tail of a comet—then a far more frequent occurrence than it is nowadays. Matthew Genge, who is based at the Natural History Museum in London, has examined particles of cosmic dust harvested from the ice of Antarctica." - Michael Lockwood, The Labyrinth of Time: Introducing the Universe (Get the book.)

"As oceanographer James Lindholm of the Pfleger Institute says, "For every tool we have to explore outer space — space stations, tethered missions, rovers, mapping—we have a comparable tool for ocean exploration... This suite of technologies allows us to study an environment that is equally hostile to human life" (SeaWeb 2005). Some of what we're learning about the oceans comes as a direct result of space research—like the work of satellites that can see across the breadth of the electromagnetic spectrum, peering into the ocean's depths and identifying changes in temperature and chemistry." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Sea buckthorn can also be used to prevent sunburn and radiation burns; Russian cosmonauts, for example, have used this herb to protect their skin against radiation burns when in outer space. Sea buckthorn is also sometimes added to hair products to prevent baldness and stimulate hair growth. Edible Uses The berries can be eaten raw, though they are very acidic and taste better when sweetened or when harvested after a frost, which decreases their astrin-gency. They are seven times higher in vitamin C than lemons. Other parts of the plant are not generally considered edible." - Brigitte Mars, A.H.G., The Desktop Guide to Herbal Medicine: The Ultimate Multidisciplinary Reference to the Amazing Realm of Healing Plants, in a Quick-study, One-stop Guide (Get the book.)

"He learned that carpeting which the medical center was about to throw out would create a mountain of waste so high it could be seen from outer space. All of it would end up in the local dump. "I went to Sheldon dump in Houston. It's in an African American community." Yeoman stood there and watched bulldozers pile up old box springs, TV sets, carpeting and other waste. "It put me into very intense guilt and reflection. I began asking, 'What are we doing?'"1 Under Yeoman's and Poretto's leadership, the UT Health Sciences Center began its own quiet revolution." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.) "Blumenthal came up with an innovative scheme to use technologies of the space and intelligence agencies that can read a license plate from outer space to enhance the ability to find early signs of cancer within the breast. Despite these efforts and major technical progress on several fronts, no major change in how mammograms should be read and reviewed ever happened. Because of what was called the Defense Department peace dividend, financial allocations were being shifted to peacetime activities." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"Its appearance is at once startling and droll, like a comicbook creature from either the deep sea ot outer space. It is the size of a fist, with a bland, unremarkable flavor vaguely reminiscent of bananas and cucumbers. Select a btight yellow ot orange kiwano with firm spikes and firm, undamaged skin. Do not purchase one with dull-colored skin. Today, kiwanos are grown in New Zealand and California and are available year-round in specialty sections of supermarkets." - Dianne Onstad, Whole Foods Companion: A Guide For Adventurous Cooks, Curious Shoppers, and lovers of natural foods (Get the book.)

"In effect, it locks the two into an arms race for outer space which neither can afford to lose.
