					<description><![CDATA[Can someone find a link to this experiment that changed the past?  I looked, it doesn&#039;t exist.  The only one working on changing a past event right now is John Cramer with Retrocausality and he didn&#039;t even do the experiment yet.  The other experiment Chopra could be talking about is one where they slowed down the speed of light in a fiber optic wire, but they DID NOT change ANYTHING in the past.  I think Julia Sweeney might be onto something with Deepak.  BUt hey if you make a statement like that you better back it up.  I&#039;d liket o see this experiment and be proven wrong.  I&#039;d like this all to be real too.  I am into spirituality and wanting to know more about ourselves but I really can&#039;t find any links to this one.  Hmmmmmmm seems fishy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Reflections on change&quot; 
Hope for change without true Humility won’t get us very far.   
As It was reported, In 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress, which also constitutes a threat to peace. She refused the conventional ceremonial banquet given to laureates, and asked that the $192,000 funds be given to the poor in India, [stating that earthly rewards were important only if they helped her help the world&#039;s needy. When Mother Teresa received the prize, she was asked, &quot;What can we do to promote world peace?&quot; She answered &quot;Go home and love your family.&quot; Building on this theme in her Nobel Lecture, she said: &quot;Around the world, not only in the poor countries, but I found the poverty of the West so much more difficult to remove. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger.  But a person that is shut out, that feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, the person that has been thrown out from society—that poverty is so hurtable [sic] and so much, and I find that very difficult.&quot;   
I know why Mother Theresa had many days of sadness.  She could not possibly reward herself with the bliss of God, while knowing so many had not yet even understood a basic quality of the soul found In True Humility.
In this new age it seems  everyone is talking about conscious evolution, being the best you can be, attracting  abundance, following your dreams,  and for goodness sakes, don’t settle for mediocrity.  But in this new collective outlook for change, which I won’t at all deny is good and well needed in many instances; there is something very sacred that is getting covered over in the great changing shift, maybe even more so then before these changes were needed to be made.  Once again we have begun to swing the pendulum to far over to the other side, even if that other side is considered in the world view to be the better side.
Let us not forget and in fact be certain, that through the process of shifting to a better world that we understand what really constitutes a better world, Let us not forget the true meaning of humility, that in essence there is not best, worst or in between, no higher no lower.   Imagine if every person out there saw every individual in this way.  People would be freed up to be themselves naturally and would probably innately be drawn to their true vocation in life and would excel just simply by being allowed to be who they are without labels or expectations of any kind from Societies worldly view point.
There is no measurement or comparison of any kind when looking out of the eyes of the changeless qualities of Soul.  Kindness is Kindness, no matter if you’re working as a laundry attendant or a CEO of a billion dollar company.    Love is love, no matter if you’re educated with a master’s degree or if you never finished high school.  Let us not build up so much hype on change, while getting lost in making material abundance, economic recovery, education and career status the only evidence of this change.   All those things may be the added things, or they may not, what should concern us more, is to more thoroughly understand that the true meaning of what change is, is a sincere change of the heart.   If someone is innately drawn to a simple life, and has not the education the world expects that one to have, does that exempt that individual from being viewed by the collective people as being someone without value, intelligence or worth?. .  Helen Keller once said “College is not the place to go for ideas”.    The ideas of God are already established in us and we don’t have to go to school for them, as they are already innate to each and every soul.   Human thoughts and expectations  and God’s divine ideas are not the same at all….I can also really appreciate this statement from Helen Keller “that the world is moved along not only be the mighty shoves of it’s heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes by each honest worker.  
Society should not make people feel that if they are not college oriented, that they are of less importance to this world.  Let us make sure that all these new changes and spiritual, positive self help books that are emerging everywhere are not undercutting what is already innate in the soul.  Let us make sure that in the process of great change we are not viewing that change in the eyes of what the human world standards are, but rather embrace and understand that the standard for a better world already is, and always has been, lets us meet it this moment.  Love, compassion, humility, kindness…. no matter where you are, or who you think you are, or what you are doing, is everywhere present and can be expressed by anyone and everyone who chooses to express from the soul.  Let that be the focus of change in this world, then Global healing will have found true hope, true humility and a “Real” change of heart.   We will really then understand what constitutes a Real change in this w]]></description>
