Google’s 2008 Dewey update and 2018 Medic Update shifted it from a neutral search engine to a curator, prioritizing corporate narratives and burying alternative voices. AI, trained on this curated content, deepens the blackout, erasing holistic ideas when society needs them most. Solutions await on social media, where individual voices carry the New Age’s spark.

Sun, 08 Dec 2024 10:35:20 +0000 https://goe.ac/the_human_centric_universe.htm https://goe.ac/the_human_centric_universe.htm The Human Centric Multiverse argues that human experience is the only lens through which we can truly understand reality, or "reality absolute." Silvia Hartmann posits that scientific inquiry has been misguided by attempting to remove human emotion and perspective, leading to significant barriers in understanding. She advocates for a science that embraces human subjectivity, suggesting this will unlock new paradigms and correct the course of scientific discovery. Her personal experience of solving a problem by anthropomorphizing it underscores her belief that thinking like human beings, rather than detached observers, leads to profound insights and solutions.

Like a flash of lightning, you are outside of your body, watching memorable moments you lived through. This process, known as ‘life recall’, can be similar to what it’s like to have a near-death experience. What happens inside your brain during these experiences and after death are questions that have puzzled neuroscientists for centuries. Since Sigmund Freud, therapists have been exclusively hunting for trauma events which Silvia Hartmann argues is looking in the completely wrong direction. Indeed, in Hartmann's Star Matrix book, she says that it's only these high energy positive moments in our lives that guide us, shape who we are and ultimately the only memories we remember when "our life flashes before our eyes". A new study published to Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience suggests that Hartmann is indeed correct. What you see when you shut your eyes for the last time is the compliments, not the insults. It's love, not hate. It's joy, not sadness. It's pride, not regret.

The old answer was, "Because they're weak, stupid, because they have low self esteem, because they enjoy being beaten up, they love to be punished and are masochists!" - especially if a person was serially finding partners, spouses and friends who all abused them. EMO has a totally different answer and a totally different way of treating "the battered woman" - which could also be of course, a man.

Since then energy-pioneers such as Gary Craig, Silvia Hartmann, Robert. G. Smith, Rehana Webster, Dr. David Lake, Steve Wells, Karl Dawson, David Feinstein and Dr. Dawson Church have continued to evolve the field, giving us new tools and methods such as Modern Energy Tapping, Energy EFT, Classic EFT, Positive EFT, Faster EFT, TBT, Clinical EFT and Matrix Reimprinting. This article explains some of the developmental history behind the tapping techniques and how they compare and contrast with each other.

Dr Ryan writes: It is my humble belief that overly stressed, fearful aspects are holding the dream world hostage right now. There is war, economic break down, famine and global unrest because of humanities' increasing stress and fracturing of consciousness, or should I say the the breakdown of collective energy body. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 12:53:24 +0100 https://goe.ac/scientific_respectability_and_eft.htm https://goe.ac/scientific_respectability_and_eft.htm There is this idea that EFT (and other energy based therapies) is "very close" to obtaining scientific respectability and sanction/blessing of various established bodies in fields such as psychology and medicine. This is of course what we are all hoping will happen, we want this to be so - but it is not the case. Energist's approaches are NOT on the verge of gaining scientific respectability. Here is an example of the state of play with Reiki in this year of our lord 2012, which is practised by tens of millions around the world and has likewise, helped literally millions of people overcome all manner of problems.

EFT is not hypnosis, it isn't witchcraft, it isn't psychology or a behavioural pattern interrupt, it isn't tissue massage or physiotherapy - EFT is an example of modern energy work. Trying to deny this simple fact in order to gain "scientific acceptance" is not an option, as energy work is greatly influenced by intention and directed by conscious focus of attention. Using EFT from the wrong mind set reduces its effectiveness; and conversely, when we apply EFT "with energy in mind," we put EFT in its rightful place in the treatment of the mind, body, spirit triad and we improve its effectiveness, power, ease of use immediately and noticeably.

Many don't even know that they are seeking enlightenment and may think erroneously that they are seeking love, or wealth, or respect, or happiness; either way, human beings have a built in drive towards enlightenment.

The purpose as set out by Silvia Hartmann, is to raise the awareness of energy as being a crucial factor in our understanding of how human beings function. Indeed, it is hard to imagine how scientists and doctors can produce a model of humanity without taking into account human energy and emotional systems. Yet, if we are more than just mechanical and chemical machines, why do many meridian therapists (including advanced-level EFT & EMO practitioners) have a real problem sticking their head above the parapet and shouting from the rooftops about the joy, happiness and relief our family of energy centric techniques can bring to people?

When they come for healing from cancer, they think there should be an immediate clearing of the symptoms and disease.  Most people don’t stop to think about where the disease came from, what it feeds off of and the physiology of it.  They only think of the concept and physical attributes of the disease and how it complicates their lives.  Seldom do people think of the cause of the disease.

EMO works by focusing on the feelings in the body. Rather than talking "about" anger, sadness, fear, shame, heartache and depression, we simply ask directly, "Where do you feel that in your body? Show me with your hands!" Now we know where the place of pain is, and now, there are things we can do.

Energy healing however is not a talking therapy but something else altogether; and for energy healing of problems in the energy body to take place, it is in fact, irrelevant whether someone is taking psychopharmaca, psychoactive drugs, or any drugs, for that matter.

I have come to the conclusion that this is an incorrect assessment. People do want to heal. They are not resistant to healing, but only resistant to feeling - feeling pain, to be precise.

Working with an EFT version of the Freedom Spells and quite by accident, it was found that we can expand the concept of Soften & Flow - thereby making EMO even more spectacularly successfull and delightful.
