  Is the soul real?  That is, I believe, an interesting question in these times of AI evolution. From the Dallas 2025 conference on Science & Faith we can listen to the neurosurgeon Michael Egnor explaing "The Scientific Evidence of the Human Soul". Michael has also written the book "The immortal mind". Some e X 4 mat !ve statements from the lecture: #1 Does the soul exist as something separate from the brain? Divided preception - united consciousness There is something in the mind that is not in the brain "Free won´t" exists outside the brain Emotion is a material state of the brain Did the mind evolve? The abstract powers of the mind could not evolve, because abstract thought is not material Is the brain the organ of the mind? The brain is the organ of movement, perception, memory and emotion. There is no organ of intellect and will The soul exists. The soul animates a human being. #2 What is the soul? Soul knows, loves, and animates Soul has no pa...

The Pineal gland is one of our important glands, situated in the middle of our brain. This  video shows exactly  where it´s located - fascinating! You can find many interesting videos explaining our body via Gil Hedley channel on Youtube . The Pineal gland - a summary from ChatGPT : The pineal gland is a real brain structure tied to sleep and biological rhythms — but in spiritual traditions, it holds symbolic power as a center of intuition, inner sight, and cosmic connection . Whether or not it actually produces DMT or connects us to higher realms, it serves as a powerful metaphor — a convergence point where science, consciousness, and spirituality meet . The Pineal Gland: A Bridge Between Science and Spirituality What Is the Pineal Gland? (Science Recap): A small endocrine gland deep in the center of the brain (between the two hemispheres). Produces  melatonin , a hormone that regulates sleep–wake cycles (circadian rhythm). Known as the “third eye” in many spiri...

Recently I participated in a Dr Joe Dispenza retreat. I find his mix of science and spirituality  fascinating...  From his home page you can read about his mission :  Why do we do this work? We’re here to remember how unlimited we really are. We're here to demystify the process of creating change – for ourselves and, ultimately, for our lives. We’re here to learn about the science of possibility and the proof of what’s possible – in the scientific measurements we’re doing in our community, and through stories of personal change and transformation. When we change, our life changes. Our mission is to change individuals – so, ultimately, we can change the world. There is more to reality than this dream. And the truth is, we’re greater than we think; more powerful than we know; more unlimited than we could ever dream. I also found a web site with some  Joe Dispenza quotes ... these are my favorites: Finally, a video with an example of a Joe Dispenza meditation "A h...

En av de fundamentala frågorna i livet är: vad består vi människor av, egentligen?  Ikväll har jag varit på en mag!sk kombinerad grupphealing, soundhealing med klangskålar och trumresa med kundalini-livskraft aktivering meditation via Humaniform . Svaret på frågan vad vi människor består av är: energier ! Det fick mig att tänka på nedan musikvideo från Symphony of Science som baseras på vetenskapliga formuleringar av Brian Cox, Richard Feynman och Stephen Hawking, som till exempel: Everything is made up   of tiny packages of energy  born in cosmic furnaces The universe is made of twelve particles of matter four forces of nature that´s a wonderful and significant story The world is a dynamic mess of jiggling things it´s hard to believe In the quantum world the world of particles nothing is certain it´s a world of probabilities Titta på denna underbara musikvideo från Symphony of science (Melodysheep):

The book Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari is a tough book to read. 407 pages describing " A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI ". I absolutely love this type of book and especially this specific book about information networks, but I have to admit that it´s a bit challenging to digest all its content. It is even harder to summarize it... But, I will try to summarize what Yuval is saying about the Alignment Problem ... bear with me. This is the x 4 mat !ve summary: the alignment problem: When computers are given a specific goal they use all their power and ingenuity to achieve this goal. Since they operate very differently from humans, they are likely to use methods their human overlords didn´t anticipate. This can result in dangerous unforeseen consequences that are not aligned with the original human goals . The more powerful and independent computers become, the bigger the danger. The alignment problem is not new - it was discussed already in Claus...

Google´s AI-verktyg NotebookLM har gjort det igen! Nämligen, skapat en fascinerande podcast utifrån en viss textmassa inklippt från min blogg Hedin Exformation . Jag valde ut 8-10 relevanta inlägg som jag skrivit på tema Exformation och bad NotebookLM göra en podcast. Detta blev resultatet (follow the link below): What is exformation ? Än en gång så skapar NotebookLM ett samtal som har ett djup och en relevans som är imponerande... och lite skrämmande!

One if the most interesting maps that exists is the one from World Values Survey called Inglehart-Welzel world cultural map measuring 1) Traditional values versus Secular-rational values and 2) Survival values versus Self-expression values. (see map below - if you want to see the changes from 1981 to 2015, click this link ). World Values Survey (WVS) is an international research program devoted to the scientific and academic study of social, political, economic, religious and cultural values of people in the world. WVS is at the moment the largest non-commercial cross-national empirical time-series investigation of human beliefs and values ever executed. This cultural map has so many interesting implications in order to understand how integration in a western society can go wrong, for example within a country like Sweden. Sweden is extreme when it comes to Self-expression values and Secular-rational values. This means that in Sweden we believe that God and Religion is not th...

A week ago I attended the 7 th Yoga Mela International Yoga & Sacred Music Festival presented by Divinya outside Eslöv. I didn´t really know what to expect beforehand and now looking back to the event, I have to say that my expectations were exceeded by far. Such an amazing & awesome experience. From the festival program: At Yoga Mela we come together to celebrate the transformative essence of Yoga as a way of life. The days are filled with profound wisdom teachings, authentic yoga, devotional sacred music and a transformational togetherness.   At Yoga Mela we want to celebrate the life which is already enlightened, the life which is already beautiful and perfect - the Divine which dwells inside of everything and everyone, always. There were many artists that performed during the festival. I especially appreciated Deva Premal & Miten , Mirabai Ceiba and Carrie Tree. As Yoga teachers, we could enjoy classes by e.g Simon Park , Tommy Rosen and Kia Miller. We also h...

Via melodysheep på Youtube kom jag över dokumentärfilmen " LIFE BEYOND " som ger en hisnande beskrivning av möjligheterna till liv i universum... några smakprov: Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe , or we are not. Both are equally terrifying ARTHUR C. CLARK Are we alone? Is earth the only chapter in the story of life? In the search for life out there, we must first look inward the ingredients for life are simple: energy, organic molecules, and liquid water In the entire universe, the possible number of habitable planets is staggering: 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 Se hela filmen:

 Jag har följt Gregg Braden ett tag via hans Youtube-kanal. Igår kom jag över ett inlägg där han länkar till en film som spelades in av Tsipi Raz som heter " The 1 Field - can Spirit be measured?" Kärnan i den här filmen är att   allting består av energi, elektromagnetiska fält & vibrationer Gregg Braden kan man följa via hans hemsida , eller via hans Youtube-kanal ... Direkt från Gregg Bradens Youtube-kanal kan man läsa nedan om filmen : All cultures and ancient traditions talk about our being far beyond matter . "The 1 Field", using the scientific tools of the 21st century, examines this assumption through interwoven storylines: The life stories and research of groundbreaking figures in the study of consciousness, and scientific experiments supervised by research institutes and scientists worldwide . Can spirit be measured? Is there a field that connects everything ? Can we use consciousness to influence our lives, our bodies, and our environment, beyond g...

I want to give you an x 4 ma T!ve summary of the book " Atlas of the Heart - mapping meaningful connection and the language of human experience" where Brené Brown "takes us on a journey through eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human". Earlier I have written a number of blog posts related to Brené Brown. I can recommend her TED talk " Power of vulnerability" that I wrote about in a post 2013 , a post describing her thoughts about Blame and Empathy using RSA short episodes "Espresso for the mind" and finally my review (på svenska) of her book "Trotsa vildmarken ". From  the book   Atlas of the Heart : #1 Places We Go When Things Are Uncertain or Too Much Stress, Overwhelm, Anxiety, Worry, Avoidance, Excitement, Dread, Fear, Vulnerability " Overwhelmed means an extreme level of stress, an emotional and/or cognitive intensity to the point of feeling unable to function" "you are ...

Datumet 24 februari 2022 kommer för alltid vara förknippat med dagen då Ryssland påbörjade sin invasion av Ukraina. Det många trodde var omöjligt i modern tid, ett stort krig inom Europa, hade påbörjats. Rysslands motivering till invasionen, att bland annat avnazifiera och avmilitärisera Ukraina, är ju så bedrövliga att de inte går att kommentera på något vettigt vis... Varför gör Putin detta?  Jag hittade en dokumentär gjord av Frontline Public Broadcasting Services (som verkar skapligt oberoende) som heter " Putin´s Way (full documentary) " - finns att se via Youtube - se länk .  Jag tänkte summera some interesting statements from this documentary: Putin has so many guilty secrets, so much money has been stolen, that he really doesn´t trust anybody to keep him safe if he steps down from power. Instead of seeing Russia as a democracy in the process of failing, we need to see it as an authoritarian system in the process of succeeding. There has always been corruption in Ru...

What is specific with Lean-Agile leadership ? From SAFe home page you can read more about the cornerstones of Lean-Agile leadership . I would like to emphasize three components that are close to my heart - emotional intelligence, growth mindset and organizational change management practices. First , as a Lean-Agile leader you need to "Lead by Example". In order to do this you need to " model behaviors that foster a generative culture ". The following behaviors create the foundation for this dimension of leadership: Authenticity Emotional Intelligence Life-long learning Growing others Decentralized decision making I have been interested in  Emotional Intelligence (EQ) since about 2005, starting out by reading the book "Emotional intelligence" by Daniel Goleman. I am a certified coach within the Emotional Intelligence framework EQ-i 2.0 and I strongly believe every leader has to understand this set of skills that has been defined within the positive psych...

Today is first of August. We have had a warm and sunny July in the south of Sweden - now it is time to think about autumn activities like going back to work.  One way af getting a good start after summer is to follow the Happiness calendar from Greater Good Science Center , part of Berkeley university. Science tells us that focusing on your personal well-being and happiness will support you in becoming more successful in life. Sounds good? If you are interested in the Science of Happiness , you can find more information here . Some examples from the August Happiness Calendar : Find your sense of purpose in life Take a walk outside Do something fun - play Find experiences of awe, beauty and wonder Take a nap Express warmth and compassion to your kids Make your partner  laugh Believe in human goodness Happiness is something you can measure. I found this video on Youtube from CNBC explaining why people in the Nordic countries are the happiest in the world (find more about " D...

This Sunday I had the opportunity to take part in a conversation related to Sustainability , Happiness and Authentic leadership . The host was my good friend Tomas Holasek from Abintus Consulting who had invited me to the Emprogage "Best For The World Broadcast" via Youtube. I contributed by explaining how the specific framework of Emotional Intelligence called EQ-i 2.0 can be used in order to describe which abilities that are preferable in order to act authentic and as a role model. We covered also the fact that happiness and well-being is a good starting point if you want to be successful in life. The EQ-i 2.0 framework from MHS describing the 15 subscales of emotional intelligence: In the video below you can among many things learn more about the six abilities that you can practice in order to become a truly authentic leader : Self-Actualization Reality Testing Self-Regard Emotional Self-Awareness Social Responsibility Independence I hope you will enjoy the session - r...

Today is the International Day of Happiness . It is an annual event organized by the United Nations to promote the idea that feeling happy is a global human right. The theme for this year´s International Day of Happiness is " Keep Calm, Stay Wise. Be Kind " and is in response to the COVID pandemic.

Every year UN publish a World Happiness Report including among many things a global survey measuring  subjective well-being among countries, mainly using the Gallup World Poll which measures life evaluation and positive/negative emotions .

From this bo...

From Forbes.com you can find a post describing " 10 creative ways Organizations are supporting the mental health of Remote employees" . A research study conducted partly by Harvard Business Review found that:   " 85% of people have expressed a decline in well-being  since the start of the pandemic" From the article, a summary of what you can do to promote mental health : Make Mental Health a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) Set health and wellness targets and value these just as much as your Business KPI´s. This is to signal to people that they take their well-being seriously Extend Employee Mental Health Benefits to Dependants Support not only the employee, but also their spouse and children in various health benefit programs in order to promote employee emotional well-being Make Mental Health a Company Value Define values like "Be Kind to Your Mind" meaning that you should avoid unnecessary urgency and have a 48 hour response time to team emails Adopt an...
