“Without a body and without time, I wasn't disturbed by my ego or by the function or dysfunction of my brain and memory. And during my pure perception within the source, I had no opinion either. I didn't even have an 'I.' An opinion is tied to the ego, and the ego to the body. Without any of this, there was only objective consciousness.” InspirationalBodyMemoriesBrainConsciousnessOpinionSourcePureEgoPerceptionFunctionObjectivesTiedDisturbedDysfunction Author:Pim van Lommel

“There are some political issues where mainstream press attention only hurts. We think about activism as being this generic model of consciousness-raising, then hopefully media attention, attraction of new people to your cause, building public support for your cause, then decision-makers reacting to that change in public opinion. That's true for some types of activism, but it is not true for all of them.” PeopleThinkingPoliticalCausesHurtDecisionAttentionConsciousnessOpinionSupportIssuesMediaBuildingTypeModelsPressesAttractionActivismHopefullyMakersMainstreamPublic OpinionReactingGenericDecision MakersPolitical Issues Author:Rachel Maddow
