POPSMirrors Don’t Lie.. : -) “When people are made to be self-aware, they are likelier to stop and think about what they are doing,” Dr. Bodenhausen said. “A byproduct of that awareness may be a shift away from acting on autopilot toward more desirable ways of behaving.” Physical self-reflection, in other words, encourages philosophical self-reflection, a crash course in the Socratic notion that you cannot know or appreciate others until you know yourself.

POPSEMDR Therapy or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing from the Self Awareness Institute
The Director of the Self Awareness Institute, Andrea Lambert, is an EMDR Practitioner in Sacramento, California. She received her training from the EMDR Institute, Inc., under EMDR's founder, Francine Shapiro. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a scientifically validated integrative psychotherapy. It is based on the philosophy that human beings are capable under appropriate conditions of naturally moving toward greater health and integration. When a stressful or traumatic event occurs, it seems to get locked in the nervous system with the original picture, sounds, thoughts and feelings. This information can become distorted and significantly can significantly affect our feelings about these events. The eye movements used in EMDR appear to unlock the nervous system which allows the brain to re-integrate positive information. The procedure includes reprocessing of negative, distorted self-thoughts associated with the trauma to positive, true self-beliefs.

POPSGet Out of Your Own Way In ways we are only beginning to understand, the synapses and neurons in the human nervous system work in concert to perceive the world around them, to learn from their perceptions, to remember important experiences, to plan ahead, and to decide and act on incomplete information. In a rudimentary way, they predetermine our choices.

POPSGet Out of Your Own Way Conscious thought may well be largely overrated according to some of these studies. Alternatively, however, perhaps we do not fully understand the function of consciousness. For example, perhaps it is important in reflective thought which is not time bound and goal oriented. Some of our most profound thought processes of self description and self definition, might be of such kind. At any case, in matters of clear cut decision making and choice, consciousness seems to be more of a disturbing factor than anything else.

POPSPigeons Show Superior Self-recognition Abilities To Three Year Old Humans Question: If pigeons are more self-aware than a 3 year old, what value is in self-awareness. And if any value at all, should that not be applied to pigeons. Is self awareness the deciding factor in the value of a species? We value humans above lower life forms typically because we are "superior" and "self-aware". If self-awareness is part of the equation of the value of the sanctity of life, then would not pigeons be more valuable than infants? (Note; I am not a vegetarian, just a devil's advocate and this idea struck me the moment I read this article and thought it would make a great debate topic). This question boils down to: What right do we have at placing value on life, when it has the same basic similarities to our own? I do not have an answer myself, but would love to see it debated.

POPSVolcano Releases One Trillion Cow Farts Into Atmosphere
"It takes more than a volcano to stop our opposition to the threat presented by industrial production and free markets to the ideas of global government and central planning," said Mr. Pachauri. "If we don't act soon, my children may never be able to chair an intergovernmental panel, control the economy, and distribute production quotas. The hardest hit will be Third-World dictatorships that are contributing disproportionately more money to our members and their families.The stand against economic development and free enterprise has become an urgent global issue - a moral issue if you will - that affects the survival of all endangered intergovernmental agencies." A separate chapter calls for a volcano tax on the worst offenders starting with Chile - with a footnote explaining that if the Chileans hadn't disposed of the Marxist regime of Salvatore Allende in 1971, the whole issue could've been avoided because they wouldn't be anywhere near the list of developed nations today.

Fulfilling this mission requires a smart designer, a savvy and visionary project producer, and a willing and ambitious artisan. Our objective is to avoid the mechanization of the artisan, which devalues his work and undermines the project from both a design and an economic standpoint.

POPSTap O' The Evenin' with Brad Yates-EFT Brad Yates has 4, (EFT) "Emotional Freedom Techniques" found on u-tube, that are great for relaxation, starting your day off on the right foot, or just just opening-up the chakras, in order for your body to fully integrate, mind, body, and spirit. These techniques (tapping) upon your chakras, are a substitute for acupuncture, or acupreasure, I have been practicing them for quite some time now, with great success. I highly recommend these to anyone who is interested in higher self-awareness.

POPSKey to Dissecting Mind? Past = Memory, Future = Prediction, ---> allow us to have a sense of continuity ---> self-awareness ---> sense of self and attachment? What if we break all of these things apart and treat them as they are individually? Will we understand the mind better this way? Is this the key to enlightenment? Is this what they mean by dissecting the mind?

POPSShattering the war consensus: Cindy Sheehan stands up to the crack house crowd
Pelosi, though she is, like the Clintons, sneered at by the thug right (and thereby gains street cred in ultra-liberal San Francisco, the district she represents), has paved the way for Bush's war-funding requests to pass time and again with her political gamesmanship in the House. Among many other acts of accommodation, she was also secretly briefed, along with a few other members of Congress, on CIA torture practices in 2002, and in the spirit of bipartisan amorality saw no problem with it. "This is a progressive, populist campaign. Every day that we exist and bring up these issues is a victory for us," said Sheehan, the grieving mom who became the public face of opposition to the war in Iraq. Now, with a staff of two, she is turning her challenge to that war into a political campaign. To the extent that politics is about winning and losing, yes, hers is probably a lost cause. But I see it as something else. I see it as a clarion stand for principle and rallying point for all w

POPSNeurophysiology and Buddhism <<<It is undeniable, however, that the false reification of that which we identify spuriously as 'self' — now acquiring the weighty imprimatur of modern science — has devastating implications for all brands of Theism. Buddhism alone not merely encompasses this late-revealed truism, it makes it the basis of a new moral order that sees the annihilation of the self as the inelutable first step in our mastery of the existential predicament that doggedly besets us in this sorry world. A few concluding words — there remains a metaphysical (and theological) hiatus in dealing with 'being' without a reference to that other great existential puzzle — the transformative aspect of life that is generally subsumed under the title 'becoming'.>>>
