När jag i januari 1988 flyttade in på korridor i Lund, så var det första gången jag fick tillgång till MTV . En av de mest populära artisterna den våren var Kylie Minogue och hennes hit "I Should Be So Lucky" spelades många gånger per dag. Jag var fast. Sedan dess är jag ett "Kylie-fan". Nu har Netflix släppt en dokumentärserie i tre delar om Kylies liv, karriär och cancern - en mycket sevärd serie för alla oss som älskar Kylie. ( länk ) Den beskriver bland annat bakgrunden till hysterin i samband med hennes första hitlåt, " I Should Be So Lucky "... en ung naiv flicka från Australien på besök i London. Vi får en inblick i relationen med Michael Hutchence, sångaren i INXS . Hon har beskrivit relationen till honom som " the love of her life "... Man får också följa hur Kylie försöker hitta en egen stil och startar ett överraskande samarbete med Nick Cave - de släpper låten " Where The Wild Roses Grow" . Efter några turer fram och til...

Medvetandet överlever döden ... det säger professor Maria Strömme i en intervju med Alexander Pärleros i Framgångspodden . Ett inlägg som inte låter sig "summeras" - se, eller lyssna, på denna intervju och reflektera över det som sägs..."hjärnan är snarare en mottagare av medvetande än en generator av medvetande". Jag har bloggat massor tidigare om medvetandet och även om Maria Strömmes vetenskapliga artikel om att " medvetandet är fundamentalt ", men jag tycker att Maria i denna intervju ges möjlighet att beskriva sin syn på medvetandet på ett väldigt pedagogiskt sätt. Hennes synsätt knyter samman visdom från många filosofiska och religiösa texter med modern forskning baserad på kvantfysik.  Sätt dig i soffan , poppa lite popcorn och häll upp ett glas av din favoritläsk och lyssna andaktsfullt under ca 90 minuter på denna intervju (alternativt gå en promenad i det fina vädret och lyssna via Spotify ): Vill du veta mer om den moderna forskningen som Mari...

I found this wonderful documentary about Quantum consciousness theory  called " Quantum consciousness theory proves how your brain connects to the universe " via Youtube channel Universe Unfold . I cannot validate everything that is included in this because it relates to "advanced science" but the content is breathtaking and it gives you a lot to digest. .. (This video features an AI-generated voice inspired by Sir David Attenborough). Some X4 mat ! ve statements from the documentary: What are you? We cannot explain why the lights are on inside your head. Somehow inside your brain, there is a universe. How does a collection of atoms arranged in specific patterns "feel"? (the hard problem of consciousness) Physicalism The brain is described as a biological computer. Inputs come in, outputs go out, and whatever happens in between is just information processing. << this might be completely wrong>> Each electron is a single particle and should go ...

What is the meaning of life? Transcend I asked this question to copilot : ... regarding "transcend" as the answer to the question: what is the meaning of life? I heard this from a guru called Sri Vast and I would really like you to explore the various sources that makes you answer "transcend" as the core thing in life… what exactly does this mean in terms of how you must adress life to reach this target state? This is the unfiltered answer by Copilot (I have only added some colours) : This is a deep and serious question, and it deserves to be treated philosophically rather than slogan‑like. When a guru or teacher answers “transcend” to “What is the meaning of life?” , they are not giving a poetic flourish. They are pointing to a long, convergent insight found across many wisdom traditions, philosophies, and even modern psychology. Below I’ll do three things: Show where the idea of “transcendence” comes from , across multiple traditions Clarify what “to transcend”...

Today is World Happiness Day , established by United Nations in 2012. They write: The General Assembly of the United Nations in its  resolution 66/281  of 12 July 2012 proclaimed 20 March the International Day of Happiness, recognizing the relevance of happiness and well-being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives. It also recognized the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and the well-being of all peoples Since 2012, the World Happiness Report is published by the Wellbeing Research centre at the University of Oxford (link to this years report ). This is the latest result just published showing "the happiest countries": It´s pretty amazing that the Nordic countries are in the top year after year.  It also might be interesting to see the least happy co...
