Abstract

The prevalence of mental illness in the United States is increasingly recognized as an epidemic. There are a number of conventional methods for treating mental illnesses, including psychotherapy and pharmaceutical drugs. However, these two treatments have limitations, and pharmaceutical drugs can have many dangerous side effects. Natural therapies are far fewer side effects than conventional medicines, although they have traditionally been used to treat certain mental illnesses. Vitamin C is nontoxic and easily tolerated and, in theory, help the vast majority of mental illness. Vitamin C is a mild stimulant and an antihistamine properties powerful. Histamine levels are associated with high levels of anxiety and depression, and high levels of histamine were significantly reduced with massive doses vitamin C. Furthermore, Vitamin C has been acting as an antidepressant both sweet and anxiolytics. Your property is mild stimulant due to the improvement of adenosine monophosphate cyclic (cAMP) through inhibition of phosphodiesterase enzyme that degrades cAMP. Vitamin C is also involved in the production of the hormone norepinephrine, the need for mental health.

Vitamin C is known to be an essential nutrient for proper brain function. In addition to maintaining the levels of histamine in check, vitamin C also modulates dopamine levels, dopamine levels are associated with high psychosis. Vitamin C also increases the levels oxytocin, which is involved in pleasure and wellness. Vitamin C protects against neuronal damage, usually through their antioxidant properties. Vitamin C inhibits release of cortisol, a stress hormone, chronically high levels associated with depression. High blood levels of vitamin C are associated with a reduction significant mortality. There is no reliable test for vitamin C, which causes mutations in DNA, rebound scurvy, iron overload, vitamin B-12 deficiency, or Uric acid accumulation. The vast majority of animals synthesize their own vitamin C, and animals weighing the equivalent of a product of man about a dozen grams of vitamin C. This fact adds weight to the theory that human beings should megadoses of vitamin C, especially if they have a mental illness.

Chapter 1: Introduction to the problem or issue

Statement of problem or question:

The objective general of this thesis is to determine whether high intakes of vitamin C alone can help resolve mental disease in general, especially in atopic (allergic) people. Mental illness is a major problem in today's society, and a growing number of evidence indicates that nutrition therapy partially or completely resolved in May this trouble. Many nutrients affect both mental health immune system and is well known that the central nervous system (CNS) and immune system are intimately linked. The immune system plays a role in regulating eating behavior, sleep, body temperature and brain activity (Steinman, 2004). As shall see later, histamine participates in all activities.

A group of peptide hormones called interleukins are excellent examples of systems CNS / immune system interactions. For example, when the immune system "hormone IL-2 administered to normal people, which produces symptoms similar to schizophrenia "(Heleniak & O 'DESKY, 1999, p.40). Release of the immune hormone interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) can lead to depression, feelings learned helplessness, and pain-related behavior (Hurwitz & Morgenstern, 2001). Interleukins are a subclass of immune hormones called cytokines. The cytokines can act to create a loss of appetite, malaise, increased sleep, drowsiness and fatigue (Martin, 1997). A group of cytokines known as interferons (IFN) are often given the severe viral infections or cancer. IFN is associated with depression, insomnia, delirium, and even suicide (McDonald, Thomas Mann, and Thomas, 1987). Furthermore, several studies have found that normal white blood cell response to growth factors is altered in depression, as is natural (NK murderer) Cell activity (Kagaya & Yamawaki, 1998).

To understand the links between mental health and the immune system, a brief explanation of the hormones is necessary. There are three main types of hormones: steroid hormones derived from cholesterol, peptide hormones derived from protein synthesis and amino acids derived hormones. The seven main amino acids derived hormones are serotonin, norepinephrine (also called noradrenaline) of adrenaline (also called adrenaline), dopamine, acetylcholine, gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) and histamine. The last seven amino acids derived hormones, histamine, will be the main objective of this thesis. The reason is that histamine is unique among hormones derived from amino acids, which plays a leading role in your state mental and immunological status. Adrenaline and noradrenaline play some roles in immune function, but unlike histamine, its functions are generally positive in subjects normal. However, depressed people tend to have higher levels of epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol, the steroid hormone (Martin, 1997). This phenomenon is described in detail later. The other four amino acids derived hormones play a minor role in his case, the immune status.

Histamine has multiple effects on the body, ranging from mild to fatal. These effects are described in detail in this thesis. The complex effects of histamine is due to both its positive effects and negative, depending on cell type that released. As mentioned above, both histamine is a neurotransmitter and an immune modulator. Cells that release neurotransmitters histamine are called neurons, modulation of immune system cells that release histamine cells are mainly mast, although some other Also cell types store histamine Immunity. Both neurotransmitters histamine and histamine from mast cells in the brain. Neurotransmitter histamine Date Release can be both positive and negative traits, whereas histamine release from mast cells is generally negative (morbid / functions) mortal.

We found that in rat brain, histamine release from mast cells during stress (Arrigo-Reina and Chiechi, 1998). May brain histamine release plays a role both in physical dependence and tolerance to morphine (Glick and Crane, 1978). Further evidence of this phenomenon is provided by a combination antihistamine / treatment opioids as a substitute for heroin (Galos et al., 2001). Another interesting finding is that neurotransmitter histamine tends to decrease with age, whereas the histamine mast cells of the brain tends to increase with age (Fernandez-Novoa and Cacabelos, 2001). Histamine levels in normal physiological roles useful, but high levels of histamine are considered pathological conditions (Subramanian, Nandi Majumdar and Chatterjee, 1974). Excessive levels of histamine in blood may increase The overall mortality rate of 24% (Johnston, 1996).

High levels of brain reward related behavior inhibits histamine (Galos et al. 2001). This lack of motivation can lead to apathy and depression. Another of the many functions of the brain, histamine is the modulation of memory. Local government of histamine in animals with enhanced fear memory of the forebrain (Blandina et al., 2004). However, histamine can both facilitate and inhibit memory (Blandina et al., 2004). Specifically, histamine in general, improves short-term memory (Prast, Argyriou & Philippu, 1996), while altering the long-term memory. Interestingly, histamine has facilitated the recovery of memory in old rats (Kamei and Tasaka, 1993).

It is well known that histamine is involved in allergic and inflammatory reactions (Haas, 1992). A detailed explanation of this effect is the introduction to Chapter 2. Not enough evidence to suggest a link between mental illness and allergies. "Studies of patients with depression and chronic fatigue was found that up to 70 percent had compared allergies — 2 percent of healthy controls (Firshein, 1996, p. 160). Another study found that "85% of depressed patients with allergies (Ossofsky, 1976, p.335). Histamine can cause depression behavior, and this can be reversed by the effects of antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants (Arrigo-Reina & Chiechi, 1998). Tricyclic antidepressants have many other actions in neurotransmission as well.

It is well known that allergies and asthma are closely linked. A major study has found that children with severe asthma have more behavior problems (Bussing, Halforn Benjamin Wells 1995). Children with early-onset asthma before the age of four years, tend to be afraid, insomnia and depressed mood (Mrazek, Schuman, and Klinnert, 1998). By contrast, stressors can trigger asthma (Kilpeläinen, Koskenvuo, Helenius, and Terho, 2002) creating a vicious circle. Interestingly, the behavior problems tend precede asthma in children (Stevenson et al. 2003). The link between allergies and asthma and behavior problems can begin as young as three (Calam et al., 2003).

Context and background:

The implementation of nutritional therapies for mental illness started in the second half 20th century, with Drs. Abram Hoffer and Carl Pfeiffer. They recognized that blood histamine levels were low in the order of 50% of patients with schizophrenia, and subsequently developed nutritional therapies for them (Petrie and Ban, 1985). However, many schizophrenics have increased levels of histamine. Standard orthomolecular therapy for high levels of histamine is calcium, magnesium, zinc and methionine. We have known for some time that vitamin C detoxifies excess histamine imidazole group rupture (Subramanian, 1977). Unfortunately, vitamin C is not one of the main treatments for high levels of histamine, and the recommended therapeutic dose is relatively lower in 2000 mg / day. In fact, low levels of histamine were treated with higher doses of vitamin C (Edelman, 1998).

Actions of histamine have been studied in humans and animals. Histamine injected into the brains of animals has caused a variety of disorders, including irritability, teeth chattering, grooming, the tremors of the face, chewing, shaking his head, yawned, twisted, salivation (Glick and Crane, 1978). As mentioned in the previous section, antidepressants tricyclics have been used in the past to reverse the depression induced by histamine, by through its common stock antihistamine. The classic antihistamines are known to reduce anxiety in this "receptor antagonist H1 receptor antagonists and H3 decreased state of anxiety" (Ito, 2000, p.263). Furthermore, tricyclic antidepressants anxiety lowest in May (more tricylics have a strong antihistamine).

Unfortunately, tricyclics have a plethora of side effects some of which are fatal (Wilson, Shannon and Stang, 2000). Tricyclic antidepressants can be classified informally under the "first generation antihistamines that cross the blood-brain barrier. Side effects of these first-generation antihistamines mouth are dry, drowsiness, agitation, and somnolence (Edelman, 1997). One of the best known side effects of first generation antihistamines is gain (weight Tuomisto, 1994). Chronic use of first-generation antihistamines can cause memory loss (Mark & Mark, 1989). Other antihistamines first-generation tricyclics also is also used to treat mental illness, particularly anxiety disorders.

The antihistamine most used in the past for anxiety Hydroxyzine (Atarax), somnolence was the most common side effect (Lader and Scotto, 1998). Over-the-counter antihistamines first generation have been diverted for various reasons, including hallucinations, anxiety-lowering effects and / or euphoric feelings (Halpert, Olmstead, and Beninger, 2002). Antihistamine diphenhydramine (Nytol, Benadryl) was treated by pre-teens (Dinndorf, McCabe & Frierdich, 1998).

Because earlier problems with most antihistamines, drug companies have tried to develop new-generation antihistamines that cross non-brain barrier, and therefore would probably have no side effects central nervous system of the brain. In late 1980 the first prototype of Second-generation antihistamines have been synthesized. Since the structure of second-generation antihistamines more absorbent than the old antihistamines, second-generation antihistamines do not cross the blood-brain barrier of fat to a significant extent, and therefore did not cause sedation in most people. They do not share the anticholinergic effects, older antihistamines, which can cause dry mouth and thickening of mucous secretions (Wray, 1998; Fried, 1999).

Even second-generation antihistamines have their share of side effects, including: sleepiness palpitations, sedation, headache, depression, fatigue, nausea, anxiety, hypotension, hypertension, tachycardia, vomiting, blurred vision and rash (Wilson, Shannon and Stang, 2000). Antihistamines may also produce second generation of altered brain activity that can approach seizures (Fernandez-Novoa and Cacabelos, 2001). The second generation antihistamine fexofenadine (Allegra) may cause life-threatening arrhythmias and fibrillation, and "has been withdrawn several countries "(Taglialatela, Timmerman, and Annunziato, 2000, p.53). The second-generation antihistamines cetirizine (Zyrtec) and loratadine (Claritin) are all both been shown to cause memory loss (Nishiga, Fujii, Konishi, Hoss, and Chiaki, 2003). First and second generation antihistamines can cause seizures (Taglialatela, Timmerman, and Annunziato, 2000).

Search Questions:

Important Note The gap up at the beginning of section Background and History (with vitamin C in the treatment of histamine at low levels) may be only for the treatment of schizophrenia, but unfortunately the research history has shown that no other form of mental illness has received attention Nutritional schizophrenia did. Contemporary research has studied the vitamin C of a relatively theoretical, and found that vitamin C affects many aspects of behavior and mental health. The objective of this thesis suggest several applications of vitamin C in improving various mental health problems based on both new information and a reassessment of historical research.

Hypothesis:

High doses of vitamin C can reduce or reverse most mental illnesses, especially when anti-allergy related.

Importance Studio:

Mental health treatment with drugs can be dangerous for the patient. More than half of medicinal ingredient of the prescription to treat anxiety and depression have potentially fatal side effects (Jensen, 2002). Antihistamines pharmaceuticals have many side effects, some of which are described in the background and history Chapter 1. This is a major accomplishment Most, if one or more nutrients have been safely and successfully to help the most forms of mental illness, and if this information is accepted by health care consumers. The potential impacts of this study include the use of vitamin C as an adjunct to other nutrients or only as a holistic therapy of various mental illnesses. The potential benefits of using vitamin C could reduce over significant morbidity and mortality among users of prescription drugs, and perhaps even a resolution of mental symptoms.

Definition of terms:

The variables in this study include the various forms of mental illness, but this study will seek to adopt an approach holistic treatment of mental illness, and only if you mention the specific diagnoses are essential for understanding the issue at hand to hand. There will many terms not used in the proposed study. Vitamin C is the term used to describe the molecule of ascorbate. If ascorbic acid, ascorbate sodium or calcium, or Dehydroascorbate specifically mentioned or recommended, then these terms are used instead of vitamin C. Hence the different hormones and proteins that many appointed in the studio, often with their abbreviations.

Abstract:

The main problem in this thesis is whether vitamin C can significantly reduce histamine associated mental illness. Many nutritional supplements several have been successfully used in solving mental illness (Edelman, 1998). However, the literature shows no vitamin C and is used as a nutritional therapy for the main line of any mental illness. The antihistamine effect of vitamin C is not actually used in the past by the vast majority of professionals whether conventional or alternative. On the contrary, the fact that relatively small amounts of vitamin C can release histamine was used as the treatment of patients schizophrenics have abnormally low levels of histamine. Unfortunately, practitioners using this treatment does not use high doses of vitamin C treatment for schizophrenia with high levels of histamine. Presumably because they believed that additional doses of Vitamin C, histamine release in May, even more, and also may not have been aware of the effects of antihistamines of vitamin C in doses of several grams / day.

There is much evidence to support many interactions between the brain and the immune system. Quantity abnormal immune hormones can cause schizophrenia and depression symptoms (Heleniak & O'Desky and 1999, Hurwitz & Morgenstern, 2001). Among the hormones derived amino acid neurotransmitters and immunomodulators, histamine is by far the largest. He hypothesized that histamine is involved in mental illness (Pfeiffer, 1987) and has long shown that histamine is an important driver of immune abnormalities / overreaction (Haas, 1992). In accordance with previous data suggesting a genetic basis for schizophrenia, appears to be a genetic basis for some histamine related to schizophrenia (Brown, Stevens & Haas, 2001). A theory of schizophrenia is that the blood-brain barrier is compromised, allowing unwanted molecules in the brain. Histamine been shown to break the blood-brain barrier (Greenwood, 1991). In the last decade, much research has been done on stress related to the classic "fight or flight" response. Histamine was found to be the main sponsor of this morbid response (Johnston Retrum and Srilaskshmi, 1992).

Histamine may cause various disorders in humans and animals, and some of these abnormalities may be reversed by the pharmaceutical antihistamines (Lader and Scotto, 1998). Unfortunately, pharmaceutical antihistamines have several side effects, and more dangerous it can be fatal (Wilson, Shannon and Stang, 2000). Even the new generation of safer, second pharmaceutical antihistamines have their share of side effects (Wilson, Shannon and Stang, 2000). Since antihistamines second generation do not cross the blood-brain barrier in a significant degree, can not be used to treat mental illness. Vitamin C has potent antihistamine, does not cross the blood-brain barrier and has very mild side effects, if any. There is both anecdotal and epidemiological evidence that vitamin C improves Mental Health (Mark & Mark, 1989, Balch & Balch, 1997; Brody, 2002). It follows from the above information that supplements of vitamin C should be included in each treatment plan for mental illness.

Does anyone give their dog herbal tea?

I’m considering giving my dog some herbal tea to help calm/relax her. I tend to agree with holistic treatments, and I think they would work for my dog as well. The tea contains no caffeine or artificial anything, and the ingredients (like chamomile and lavender) are also in her dog treats, so they should be safe for dogs. I only use organic herbal tea, so the ingredients are very few. Has anyone ever tried this, or know of any reasons why I shouldn’t try it?

The dog is a small Yorkie.

Vedic Astrology Lesson 1

Vedic Astrology – Historical Perspective & Uses – Lesson 1

An Introduction

Vedic Astrology, the Science of Time, the Eye of Wisdom and the foremost among the branches of knowledge has come to us from 18 seers. While Varaha Mihira is hailed as the Father of Indian Astrology, Parashara is hailed as the Father of Indian Predictive Astrology. IndianAstro-Physics is divided into 3 major portions – Siddhanta (Astronomy), Samhita (Astro-Philosophy) & Hora (Astrology).

The English word ” hour” is derived from the Sanskrit word Hora.

The Precession of the Equinoxes

While the Western astronomers compute everything from 0 degree Aries which is the beginning of the Tropical Zodiac, the Indian astronomers compute everything from 0 degrees Aswathi (Beta Arietis) , which is the beginning of the Sidereal Zodiac. Sidereal is derived from the Latin word “Sidereus” meaning the constellation of fixed stars. The Vernal Equinoctial Point was found to precede one degree in 72 years and hence 360*72 = 25920 years was fixed as the Precession of the Equinoxes or the Precessional Cycle.

Flamsteed anticipated

Long before Flamsteed fixed the beginning of Zodiac at 0 degree Aries, the Indian astronomer Brahmagupta fixed it at 0 degree Aswini (Beta Arietis). Another great astronomer-mathematician Aryabhata wrote treatises on Spherical Astronomy and Spherical Trigonometry in his magnum opus Aryabhateeyam. It is said that Arabs acquired a knowledge of maths and astronomy only after Brahmagupta’s Brahmasphutasiddhanta was translated into Arabic (As Sind Hind)! Albert Einstein rightly remarked “We owe a lot to the Indians who taught us how to count without which no worthwhile discovery could have been made”! The Difference between the Tropical (Western) & The Sidereal (Indian) Zodiacs is round about 23 degrees this year. Sidereal Astrology is based on the immovable Zodiac- the Sidereal Zodiac – and Western Tropical Astrology is based on the Tropical Zodiac which is movable.

The Philosophic Aspect

As the destructive power is embedded in the atom, so are the acts of preservation, creation and destruction invested in the womb of Almighty Time. Time Eternal alone is the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer. Past,Present & Future are embedded in the womb of Time Eternal and a knower of Time can get an insight into Past, Present & Future. The Present is a product of the Past. Future is contained in the Present inasmuch as it is determined by the Present. The Lord equates Himself with the cosmic phenomenon of Time. “I am Time Eternal” declares He in the the Geetha (”Kalosmi”). Oppenheimer, the Father of the Atom Bomb quoted this verse from the Geetha when saw the first atomic explosion. To him, the destructive power of the atom was a mere manifestation of the destructive power of Time Eternal!

Uses of Astrology
The Practical Aspect

The great French mathematician Laplace advocated Probability as a weapon to cope up with Reality. Astrology is the application of the Law of Probability in toto, based on astronomical facts. Our life is hindered by many an obstacle & we are busy battling the barriers to Success. These barriers are always there, some known, some unknown. But via the Wisdom of the Heavens (Astrology) these barriers can be known, why it is there and what are the heavenly causes which generated it. Everything happens by Cause. Classical Philosophy postulates that natural causes have corresponding celestial causes and this is known as the Law of Correspondences. This message is contained in the aphorism “As above, so Below”. Once the causes are known to us from a bona fide astrologer, overcoming the barriers becomes easy.

The scientist manipulates the effect: the diviner or the poet manipulates the Cause. Astrology and Yoga are sciences which deal with the Cause. The Divine is the Transcendent Causeless Cause.Astrology has been described as a Lamp in Darkness. Without it, life becomes a lightless nightmare and we roam about groping in the dark. “Forewarned is Forearmed”. It is the negative aspects of the planets which create all the barriers in our life. Once they are known, by means of the Great Art we can transcend its negativity. Life becomes more smooth sailing and success becomes ours.
The New Age Movement

New Age – A Paradigm Shift to Divine Consciousness & a Universal Philosophy

The New Age Movement (NAM) is a revival of spiritual and divine values and can be called as a Divine Regeneration Movement. New Age Philosophy has conquered the West intellectually and Western culture is currently experiencing a phenomenal shift – sociological, spiritual & ideological. It’s a secular, multi-cultural, multi-religious synthesis, of the Oriental mystical philosophies, mainly Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism & Western Occultism, emphasizing Holism, the doctrine that Reality is organically One (now taught in American Universities after Einstein’s Theory of Relativity).

Behind the evolution of the species, there is an evolution of Consciousness. The aim of Life is Self-Actualization, to evolve to the level of Unity Consciousness, defined as the 7th state of Consciousness in Transcendental Philosophy.

The social disturbance caused by the Vietnam War, the threat posed by AIDS, the disillusionment with materialistic ideas and the erosion of faith in Morality & Ethics brought a sense of futility & meaninglessness in the Western psyche.The limitations of the Western system of Chemotherapy & adverse side-effects of antibiotics, sedatives and certain other drugs and the disillusionment with the promises of science & technology made millions turn to Oriental philosophies, occult practices & systems of therapy. Interest in Alternative Medicine developed to such an extent that there are now more than 180 systems of Alternative Medicine.

Exponents of New Age Philosophy in Europe and America include Transcendentalists like Thoreau, Emerson & Walt Whitman, Wordsworth, Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), & Theosophy introduced by Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831- 1891) & Col Olcott & the philosopher, Annie Besant. As the world witnessed a Consciousness Revolution, Transcendental Meditation, Yoga ,Zen, Carlos Castañada, the Beatles, Holistic Medicine (both Western and Ayurveda), Tantra, Astrology (both Western & Vedic) all became popular .

There are 6 million New Age sites on the Web and the NAM consists of a massive & well organized network consisting of thousands of groups, trusts, foundations, clubs, lodges, and spiritual groups whose goal and purpose is to prepare the world to enter the coming Aquarian Age. (The Age of Aquarius). In astrological symbolism, Aquarius represents Spirituality and Pisces Rationality. The Piscean Age, an age of Computer and Cybernetics revolution, will be followed by an Age of Consciousness Revolution or a Spiritual Revolution, the Aquarian Age.

Some New Age Organizations are: California New Age Caucus, New World Alliance, World Goodwill, The Church Universal and Triumphant, The Theosophical Society, Amnesty International, Zero Population Growth, the Forum, Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose, the Club of Rome, Church Universal & Triumphant, Christian Science, and the Unity School of Christianity.

New Age believes in the essential goodness of Man and the Divine Spark in Man and the New Age movement is not a unified cult system of beliefs and practices, even though its roots derive from Vedic Philosophy. There is no central authority, no official leader, no headquarters, nor membership list, but instead is a network of groups working toward World Peace and Universal Love. There are millions of worldwide followers of various New Age practices and the world is moving from Chaos (Disorder) to Cosmos (Order)! This is a Phase Transition from Entropy (Disorder) to Order!

Significant influence has been gained by NAM affecting almost every area of Occidental culture—Sociology, Psychology, Medicine, the Government, Ecology, Science, Arts, Education, the Business Community, the media, entertainment, sports, and even the Church. Organised spiritual forms such as Christian Science, Unity and even forms of Witchcraft (from the German ‘ Wicca’ meaning the Wise; Witchcraft means the Craft of the Wise) are all its expressions. Various Human Potential Seminars, Transcendental Meditation, Zen Meditation and some Alternative Holistic Medicine practices are also its manifold manifestations.

Some popular New Age publications and journals are New Age Journal, the Z Files, Clarity, Body Mind Spirit, Yoga Journal, Gnosis, East West, Noetic Sciences, the Millennium Being and Omega. The new tendency of people now is to view everything from a New Age perspective

The major goal of the New Age Movement is to prepare Man for entering the Aquarian Age and to bring world peace in an already bruised world. “All is wrong with the world” said Shaw & some of the other goals of the NAM are to establish an entirely New World Order in the fields of Economy & Government. The idea of a World Government was proposed by Bernard Shaw earlier and was implemented by Mahesh Yogi and occurs in the writings of the foundational apostle of the New Age Movement, Alice Bailey.

The word ‘Initiation” is derived from the Latin “In ire” to go within and Initiates were termed by the Great Master as the salt of the Earth. The mystic Ward defined Reality as “Within and within and within and within” . Another mystic described it as “It is hidden, it is hidden and it is hidden”. To the mystic, self evolution is the means and only by changing and correcting ourselves can we change others . The primary goals of the movement then, are to prepare the world to receive the Divine Consciousness and to enter the Age of Aquarius, thus establishing the New World Order.

New Age Philosophy believes that human evolution can be accelerated, if not in the entire mass of humanity, at least in suitable individuals. Human nature is perfectible, through an intensive process of purification and Initiation.

The New Age Movement is secular & universally diffused over the earth’s surface & its basic underlying philosophy emphasizes Gnosticism and Occultism. (Gnosticism is an ancient philosophy stating that Divine essence is the highest reality, and that the Self of man is actually this Essence. Behind the phenomenal world is the Transcendent Reality which Intuition alone can see ). It bears a remarkable resemblance to the Universal Religion that H.G. Wells predicted would one day take over the world.

The six main characteristics of New Age thinking are: (1) All is Unity; (2) All is Divine (3) Humanity is divine (4) A change in Consciousness; (5) All religions are One; and (6) Cosmic Evolutionary optimism.
Basically Dialectical Integralism, New Age Philosophy unites both Matter and Spirit.

Spirit shall see through Matter’s gaze

Matter shall reveal the Spirit’s face!

The 13 main principles of New Age Philosophy are:

(1) One Global Order – One World Government, One Currency, One Universal Being.

(2) Universal Energy, Universal Matter, Universal Life, Universal Soul As God

(3) An Eternal Universe – Uniform in Space and Unending in Time

(4) Divine practices (Astrology Yoga & other esoteric arts)

(5) Syncretism (Unity of all Religions).

(6) The need for Meditation (for generating altered states of Consciousness);

(7) Life is Cyclical – Everything is cyclical, subject to the cyclical upheavals of Time.

(8) Holistic Medicine & Vegetarianism (The patient is more important than the Doctor & Alkaline diet)

(9) Pacifism (Anti-war activities);

(10) Reincarnation; The Law of Conservation of Soul)

(11) The Evolution of Man into Divinity; (The latent Life Force evolving naturally to the Divine)

(12) The Union of Man with the Divine; (Merger of man into the Infinite)

(13) Matter’s Illusoriness; – Esse est percipii – Perception is Essence; Mind is Substance.

The practices of the New Age are psychic practices like: Astrology, Reiki, Bioenergy, Chi energy, Chakras, Nirvana, Christ- Consciousness,Spiritualism, Native American Spirituality, Prajna, Out-of-body/near- death experiences, Reincarnation, Yoga, Meditation and the occult disciplines, as well as psychotherapeutic techniques and scientific applications of the healing powers of crystals and pyramids.

Some commonly used New Age terms are: Quantum Healing, Transmutation, Transfiguration, Guided Imagery, Reincarnation; Positive Thinking; Human Potential; Holistic; Holographic; Synergistic; Unity; Oneness; Transformation; Awakening; Networking; Communal Sharing; One-world/globalism/new world order (i.e., One language, One Government, One currency, One religion); Cosmic Consciousness; Zodiac, etc.

Some New Age practices are: Transcendental Meditation, Parapsychology, Inner healing; Biofeedback; Yoga; I Ching; Reflexology; Therapeutic Touch; Transpersonal Psychology; Witchcraft; ; Magick; Tai Chi; Shamanism; Hypnotherapy; Acupuncture/Acupressure; Martial arts; Zen; Relaxation; Silva Method (formerly Silva Mind Control); Visualization; etc.
Some prominent New Agers are: Jeremy Rifkin, Norman Cousins, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, John Denver, George Lucas, Norman Lear, Alice Bailey, Alvin Toffler, Dr. Barbara Ray, Benjamin Creme, Levi Dowling, George Trevelyan, Fritjof Capra, Abraham Maslow, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Ruth Montgomery, Shirley MacLaine, J.Z. Knight, Marilyn Ferguson and David Spangler.

Soothing audio environments are created by New Age musicians and they believe rightly that Music has psycho-therapeutic properties. (This concept is derived from the Vedic Philosophy that All music is Samaveda, the 4th Veda of the Indians). Born of an interest in spirituality and healing in the late 1970s, it is often used as an aid in meditation.

Essentially meditative, New Age Music is soothing to the Soul. Isn’t Music defined as the food for the Soul? Harmonic consonance, uplifting themes, contemplative melodies & nonlinear song forms are the characteristics of New Age music. Even natural sounds or sounds from Nature and traditional electronic instruments are used by New Age musicians. With roots in classical music or Eastern Music, New Age music is often meditative. Prominent New Age musicians include vocalist Liz Story; harpist Andreas Vollenweider, electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty , electronic-music pioneer Brian Eno, multi-instrumentalist Kitaro & solo-piano artist George Winston.

New Age practices have almost conquered the world. Athletes are using guided imagery. Graduate schools of business are invoking T M, Yoga, and Tarot cards in teaching courses on creativity in business (e.g., Stanford Graduate School of Business). Based upon Astrology, the Science of Time, stock market gurus employ Fibonacci numbers and “Wave Theory” in their forecasting.

We can summarize that the term New Age is an innovative term derived from the mother of all sciences, Astrology, indicating that this earth is undergoing an evolutionary transitional phase from the Piscean Age of Scientism to the Aquarian Age of Divine Wisdome, Cosmic Consciousness, Knowledge and Love.

Since the New Age is a conglomeration of spiritual practices, let us analyse the basic principles of N A M.

1. The Divine Source of Authority. New Agers do not claim any source of authority — Only Inspiration by the Divine. By the Divine we mean a principle within, the Divine Spark or the Self and many are there who receive the revelations of the Self within or the intuitive insights of the Self.

2. The Lord. – Since Matter and Energy can neither be created or destroyed and the sum total energy in the Universe is an absolute constant (Universal Being), the Lord did not create the world, He became the world. Monism — (”All is Unity”) avers that there is only One Essence in the universe, everyone and everything being a part of that essence. The Self is an utter Being and all these are its Becomings. New Agers view God as an Impersonal Life force, Consciousness, or Energy (e.g., the “Star Wars Force”) mainly but they also believe in His personal aspect, as the Ocean (which is Formless) can take the form of an iceberg! They aver that every human has a divine spark within him because all created beings are reflections of the Divine Idea. The eternal state is called by various terms among different New Age groups, i.e., God-consciousness, Universal Love, Self-Realization, the I AM, Higher Self, Brahman, Nirvana, etc.

3. The Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Christ Consciousness or the Divine Consciousness is what the New Age advocates mean by Christ. In other words, Christ is a Divine Principle rather than an individual, such as Jesus. This idea of Christ Consciousness asserts that Jesus was only one of the Christs, but that He equipped Himself to receive the Christ Consciousness (i.e., He was a great Master who attained Christ Consciousness), as did other prophets like Buddha, Krishna, and Mohammed. New Agers believe Dr Paul Brunton who stated the Jesus spent 18 years in India absorbing Indian Mysticism and that he was initiated into the highest esoteric doctrine.

4. Human Destiny. Man is the measure of all things and is more divine than the animals & hence the salvation of the world depends upon Man. Cleansing the negative elements from the collective subconscient should be the aim of humanity. Once Negativity is cleaned from the collective subconscient, the human positive energy will shine forth and the noble ideals of the New Age will be actualized in an era of Enlightenment. Since man is intrinsically divine and perfect, his only real problem is ignorance of that fact. Gnosis means experiential knowledge and Salvation in the New Age is for man to become enlightened through this Divine Gnosis. New Age groups offer various spiritual techniques to enable individuals, and ultimately the world, to evolve into this Unitive Consciousness . These techniques may include psychotechnologies for attaining altered states of consciousness – Transcendental Meditation, Yoga, Zen, Attunement, Channeling (Spirit guides), Psychics, Acupuncture, etc.

5. The Ethical Opposites, Good & Evil – Believing in the Oriental philosophies, New Agers make the distinction between good and evil. All wickedness is weakness and Evil is imperfection. By the method of Trial and Error, we come to know what is good and what is bad for the world and we have to transcend the dualities.

6. Reincarnation. New Agers believe in the ancient Vedic philosophic concept of Reincarnation — that through a long process of rebirths, man can eventually attain Divine perfection. They also teach the Universal Law of Karma – ((The Law of Cause and Effect (Every effect has a cause), the Law of Action and Reaction, the Law of Retribution)) that what a person sows, he shall reap. This is also the doctrine of God’s non-responsibility, that the Self is not responsible and it is the Ego which experiences bitter & sweet mental experiences due to its own Karma.

7. Salvation is Self-Actualisation and Sin is Ignorance – Some theoreticians taught the concept of Man’s Original Sin. New Age exponents teach the concept of man’s essential goodness. Instead of systems which emphasized the human negative aspect and sin, New Age highlights that every man is essentially divine and it is a sin to call man a sinner ! However, New Agers speak of troublesome desires which are natural impulses which retard human evolution and make the Ego move away from the Self. Sin is merely ignorance of man’s essential divinity. The atrophied spiritual consciousness of the normal man who lives in ignorance of his Divine Self is Sin. Like the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that Energy cannot be created or destroyed, the Law of Conservation of Soul states that the Soul can neither be created nor destroyed. Matter exists in 3 states, liquid, gaseous and solid and matter cannot be created or destroyed. Nothing ever begins to be. Similarly Life does not at physical birth begin to be. It merely enters physical conditions and assumes physical guise. It merely undergoes a parallel transformation into conditions which preexisted in other conditions. The Soul is reincarnated in different bodies in a continuous succession of lives. The good or bad Karma earned in the present lifetime determines one’s subsequent incarnation. Attaining higher states of Consciousness should be our aim.There are many different paths to the goal of Divine perfection and we should be tolerant of other paths.

The divine Aurobindo predicted that spiritual influences from India will trigger off a global spiritual movement.There will be Mass Incarnations (many people divinely inspired) who will work for World Peace and Universal Love!

I saw them cross the twilight of the Age

The massive barrier breakers of this world

The sun-eyed children of a marvelous dawn

The architects of immortality

Carrying the magic Word, the mystic Fire

Carrying the Dionysian Cup of Joy!

The four systems of Philosophy which triggered the N A M are Hinduism, a product of 5,000 years of development, Buddhism, circa 560 B.C., Taoism, circa 500 B.C & Druidism, circa 300 B.C, the religion of the Celts, which extended up to the Middle Ages.

ANIMATE EARTH pilot.mov

How might a more holistic scientific process broaden our perception of the natural world and inform subsequent understanding, resulting in a deep reconnection with the Earth? This promising and informative film will be based on the book Animate Earth by ecologist Stephan Harding: the story of Earth’s functioning as a self-regulating, living being and of our inherent human, spiritual, moral and physical connection to that story. Stephan Harding holds a doctorate in ecology from the University of Oxford and is co-ordinator of the MSc in Holistic Science at Schumacher College, Devon, England. His book is a brilliant synthesis of Gaian science and forward-looking social theory and argues that we need to establish a right relationship with the planet as a living entity in which we are indissolubly embedded and to which, in the final analysis, we are all accountable. Animate Earth will sensitively explore and convey an emerging new scientific understanding on both an intellectual and an emotional level. Holistic science focuses, amongst other things, on the qualities of organisms, on process and form, which constitutes visual subject matter, often in movement. The labarynthical, interwoven impression that a film invokes, combining images and sound, is a perfect medium for communicating this. With unrefined enthusiasm, Stephan will integrate rational scientific analysis with intuition, sensing and feeling. He replaces the objectifying language found in some forms of scientific inquiry with a way of speaking about Earth as a sentient and living being rather than as a dead, inert mechanism. He conveys the facts by way of wry wit, uncanny and effective humour, and intellectual passion. In literally bringing science to life, atoms, for example, are described using metaphors of human-to-human relationships such as marriage, attraction and repulsion so as to imbue rocks, water and the atmosphere with personality. The ancient forests, moorlands, and seacoast of England will provide the location for the majority of the filming. Live action footage of Stephan enthusiastically revealing to us the planet’s systems as evidenced in the natural world around him will give depth and character to the film. Some of Stephan’s factual and engagingly presented lectures will be highlighted with animated sequences. The film will also include interviews with authorities eminent in their scientific fields, such as James Lovelock, Brian Goodwin, Vandana Shiva, Satish Kumar, Arthur Zajonc, Joanna Macy, Craig Holdredge, and Fritjof Capra. It is our hope that this film will reach out to individuals and groups worldwide. The scope and content of this film can offer a new and much-needed perspective for visualizing positive change in the face of Earth’s diminishments. We are marketing the film to public television, high school and college science departments (to offer students and teachers another point of view within the context of scientific inquiry), local community events and as a DVD. A teacher’s film content outline, student workbook with questions and projects and a curriculum guide with a resource listing will be provided to schools. Our survival as a species hangs on an interdependence with the earth: there is a need to not only rationally understand the reasons behind global warming but to re-connect with our planet as individuals and as a species. This documentary will encourage and enable the viewer to begin this process by readdressing the way they perceive the earth through the lens of holistic science and Harding’s understanding and wisdom.

Things you Should Know About a San Francisco Cosmetic Dentist

It is said, “You are never really fully dressed until you wear a smile”. Smile brings warmth and affection, and should be taken care of properly. So how to does one take care of one’s smile? Research says that a beautiful smile is a holistic combination of lips, gums and teeth. There must be a symmetric balance between these three elements in order to create that flawless smile. Quite a few people are thronging to the dental clinic for a smile makeover and, some of them feel disappointment after the treatment. This is because treatment varies from one clinic to another and you need to pick the right one to achieve that angelic smile.

Are you looking for a cosmetic dentist in San Francisco? Before you fix an appointment with a San Francisco cosmetic dentist, seek the answers to the following questions.

• Where Do I Start?

Before you fix an appointment with San Francisco cosmetic dentist, make sure that he/she is accredited and registered member of the prestigious American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (www.AACD.com). There are about 250 qualified cosmetic dentists worldwide who have been certified by this largest international organization.

• How Do I Find A Cosmetic Dentist Who Is The Right One For Me?

The best way to decide the true experience of a San Francisco cosmetic dentist is to find how many veneers the dentist has performed and how many years he/she has practiced cosmetic dentistry. Besides, the dentist should have taken formal training in cosmetic training. You insist on the before-and-after pictures of his/her patients that he/she has treated before. While doing this you must ensure that the pictures you see are of his/her real clients or taken from some marketing companies.

• Is Cosmetic Dental Surgery An Effective Treatment of Your Dental Disorder?

It takes a proficient San Francisco cosmetic dentist to offer you an effective treatment. Typically, an experienced and proficient San Francisco cosmetic dentist knows about smile design and understands the nuances of facial interaction with the smile he/she is creating. He/she should also tell you the amount of visible teeth that is considered aesthetics and how much teeth should support you smile. Hence, cosmetic dental surgery can be successful if your dentist has enough experience in doing it.

Why is Florence Nightingale’s theory considered a Holistic Nursing Theory?

Nightingale was a proponent of good hygiene, rest, fresh clean air, and prayer.

Hygiene isn’t really holistic, there are proven scientific benefits that directly relate hygiene to health (the same *could* be said for rest). The others, though, are more abstract environmental properties. There is no directly relationship between being religious and being healthy, but the restful ambiance that Nightingale observed between being at peace and being healthy led to to add this to her theory of a good environment leading to good health…she didn’t treat the disease, she treated the patient (corny, maybe, but true).
