Mike Gravel

He ran in 2008 and at one of the debates he took ByeDone, Herheinous and Obomber to task over their warmongering ways. At first all 3 of them laughed, but not by the time he got finished.

@karl pearson

He's asking for ideas and he said some of it will go to Flint. Swell guy.

#2 Mike Gravel's campaign website shows the $$ spent on "regime change" war since 2001. It's close to $5.5 trillion. It's not a stationery number, either.

The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) is an American non-profit parapsychological[1] research institute. It was co-founded in 1973 by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell,[2][3][4] along with Wernher von Braun,[1] investor Paul N. Temple,[5] and others interested in purported paranormal phenomena,[1] in order to encourage and conduct research on noetic theory and human potentials.[6][7]
The institute conducts research on such topics such as spontaneous remission,[8][9] meditation,[8] consciousness, alternative healing practices, consciousness-based healthcare, spirituality, human potential, psychic abilities, psychokenesis[9] and survival of consciousness after bodily death.[10][11] . . .

Paul Temple helped fund The Fellowship Foundation, a secretive U.S.-based religious and political organization founded in 1935 by Methodist minister Abraham Vereide.[4][5] Paul N. Temple was an insider “core member” of the Fellowship Foundation and/or Institute for Christian Leadership since the 1940s. . . . Now if you have not read The Family by Jeff Sharlet, then I highly suggest that you do. The Family is one of the most insidious religious groups in the country and has quite a hold on our government and military institutions. Jeff's exposure of this was a best seller.

I was a member of NSI for several years (saw Edgar Mitchell speak and got my book autographed) until I started working for a major particle physics facility and found that the physicists LOATHE Deepak Chopra and that Institute for their total distortion of particle physics science in order to promote their theories on consciousness. It is NOT science and it has no basis in evidence. It's pseudoscience. That kind of thinking is dangerous to a world starved for rationality and reason. When I finally realized what I was following, I wrote some challenging letters to the editor of the IONS magazine and walked out the door.

Here is a good essay on the Dean Radin "global consciousness" theory and how his "science" isn't science.

Believe what you want, but at least know what is behind your beliefs and who is hawking those ideas.

approach, and a related group maps pings of changing consciousness, not just 'good or bad', and records them in brain paint images. i've downloade a number of them, and often have one that seems...beneficial...to my psych/spirit on my desktop to reflect upon.

i'd thought that this group was the originator of 'the noosphere' which i'd taken to mean: global collective consciousness'. that metaphor to me was akin to whales thousands of miles apart physically were able to learn new whale songs...psychically, i guess would be the term. but as it turns out, that term was coined by

'a postulated sphere or stage of evolutionary development dominated by consciousness, the mind, and interpersonal relationships (frequently with reference to the writings of Teilhard de Chardin)'.
