Extractions: by Andrew Zolli / for Core77 It's been fifty years since Albert Watson and Francis Crick (with the under-appreciated assistance of Rosalind Franklin) deduced the structure of DNA in a laboratory in Cambridge, England. The recent anniversary of their achievement, which arrived conveniently close to the beginning of the 21st century, sent the media into an orgasm of hyperbole. "The biological century is upon us," intoned one representative newsmagazine. "Expect miracles." Now another anniversary is approaching, which, no less than the discovery of the double helix, has profoundly changed how we see the world and ourselves. This one probably won't attract the hype or hyperbole of DNA's semi-centennial, but it should. Next year, the pixel is turning fifty.

Extractions: Contact us MEDITATION Meditation is frequently confused with various forms of concentration. The purpose of concentration exercises is to focus our full undivided attention on a specific aspect of functioning of our mind and/or the body in order to accomplish a certain goal or develop a certain skill. Exercises such as yoga, tai-chi, breathing exercises, visualization are all forms of concentration. In contrast, meditation is an exercise, aiming to prevent thoughts in a natural way, by deeply relaxing the physical body and then trying to keep the mind completely "blank" with no thoughts whatsoever. This state may be maintained for a few seconds or a few hours, depending on your skill. Purity of the mind achieved during meditation is essential to gain access to Higher Self. It seems that our Higher Self does not admit any impurities. To reach the Higher Self it is best to concentrate on the source of the "inner sound", leading to the "inner light" - a nucleus of the Higher Self, which initially seems infinitely far "at the other side of a long dark tunnel". When we get sufficiently close to our Higher Self, the inner light becomes much brighter than the Sun, and when we are allowed to join it

Extractions: about Meditation Receive e-mail when page changes Powered by NetMind Recent Articles " " Renowned social scientist Daniel Druckman, of the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, discusses social science research consulting in the context of a three-year study undertaken for the National Research Council on improving human performance. This study is of importance to TranceNet readers for its findings that: (1) TM is ineffectual in improving human performance, and (2) its finding that the meta-analysis that pro-TM researchers have put forward as finding benefit for the technique are deeply flawed in their methodology. " Meditation and Its Side-Effects in Therapy " This article, by Alberto Perez-De-Albeniz and Jeremy Holmes, reviews 75 scientific selected articles in the field of meditation, including Transcendental Meditation among others. It summarizes definitions of meditation, psychological and physiological changes, and negative side-effects encountered by 62.9% of meditators studied. While the authors did not restrict their study to TM, the side-effects reported were similar to those found in the " German Study " of Transcendental Meditators: relaxation-induced anxiety and panic; paradoxical increases in tension; less motivation in life; boredom; pain; impaired reality testing; confusion and disorientation; feeling 'spaced out'; depression; increased negativity; being more judgmental; feeling addicted to meditation; uncomfortable kinaesthetic sensations; mild dissociation; feelings of guilt; psychosis-like symptoms; grandiosity; elation; destructive behavior; suicidal feelings; defenselessness; fear; anger; apprehension; and despair.

Islamic Voice Does Islam Permit Meditation meditation in Islam is discussed in contrast to meditation in some eastern religions. http://www.islamicvoice.com/april.2000/dialogue.htm#per
Extractions: The 'Myth' of Islam being the fastest Growing Religion! Q. What if you are not a Muslim? Does it mean you will go to hell? (S. John; sibjohn@yahoo.com) A. It will not be hard for yourself to work out the answer if you knew what Islam is and who is a Muslim. Islam means total submission to the only God of the universe. A Muslim is that who tries to lead the life according to His will after he has taken vow of submission. You would surely want to know what are the requirements of submission but let me first answer your direct question i.e. what happens to those who do not submit. Assume there is a person of exemplary good conduct and behaviour in your locality. All neighbours can swear to his kind heartedness and humane disposition. Then suddenly one day the police raid his house and it is found that he was the spy of an enemy nation. Can any of all his good works rescue him from being put behind bars forever or till his deportation? No, the faithfulness with the realm you live in is the first condition to let you live freely and happily in the state. All the good works come afterwards. On the other hand a criminal when caught is released after receiving the respective punishment. Loyalty towards the Sole Sovereign of the whole creation is the first condition for the right to live freely and happily forever. This loyalty is called Faith or Imaan in Islamic terminology. There is no question of deportation even as there is no other God or Sovereign of any other universe. The sentence for rebels is hell. There are three main requirements of Faith.

Extractions: How to Meditate Taken daily, it can untangle tension, fight fatigue and even lower your blood pressure. It can lift your spirits and help you find inner peace. What's more, it costs nothing, has no side effects and doesn't require medical help. The "treatment" is meditation, an ancient practice that has gained modern medical approval in many quarters. Research shows meditation can help relieve many arthritis symptoms, such as pain, anxiety, stress and depression, as well as ease the fatigue and insomnia associated with fibromyalgia. It affects many body processes connected with well being and relaxation. Recent studies suggest meditation may balance the immune system to help the body resist disease, and even heal. "There is significant data that meditation can enhance healing," says Saki Santorelli, executive director of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society at the University of Massachusetts in Worchester, Mass. "It can improve the quality of your life and may well reduce your medical and psychological symptoms," he says. In fact, your doctor may have already recommended adding meditation to your treatment regimen. These days, meditation is taught in many clinics, hospitals and HMOs, and endorsed by universities as prestigious as Harvard and Stanford. In just a few decades, it has gone from a counter-culture oddity to an accepted therapy for many chronic conditions. It is even being paid for by some cost-conscious insurers because it requires no special equipment or clothing, doesn't involve drugs, surgery or other pricey treatment and, according to some studies, it cuts down on office visits.
