Once You Understood Ultimate Reality in Terms Matter, Understand the Very Same in Terms Conscioisness (Love )
Sunday, 1 May 2011 - 10:59 PM SL Time

Most believe at the moment of death the person dies and the Universe goes on, but could it be that the Universe dies and the person goes on

The superreality or special intensity of the NDE, in Jungian terms, results from it being an experience of individuation, or undividedness, of integration of conscious and unconscious.

The Tibetan Book of the Dead describes this state as the eternally blissful union of bliss awareness, and reveals that it is the ultimate reality as the ultimate lover, experiencing voidness as a total mental and physical union between oneself as orgasmic bliss.

Sunday, 8 May 2011 - 8:35 PM SL Time

Only 5% of Sri Lankans are thriving. And there are no prizes for guessing exactly who makes up this privileged 5% in Sri Lanka.

The government has been going to great lengths to highlight Central Bank Chief Nivard Cabraal`s favourite piece of data, that per capita income has doubled since Mahinda Rajapaksa took over the top job and GDP growth according to Cabraal`s data was a high 8% last year. This year is going to be even better, we have been told.

Monday, 9 May 2011 - 9:08 PM SL Time

Breast-feeding appears to program an infant`s metabolism, study says

Breastfeeding is universally recommended as the superior method for feeding infants because it`s linked to long-term prevention of various illnesses including asthma, diabetes and obesity.

A study released Monday puts more emphasis on breastfeeding by showing it may have a lasting impact on metabolism.

French researchers analyzed 3 years of data following 234 children and how they were fed after birth. One group of children received only breast milk for the first four months of life. The other two groups were randomized to receive either a low-protein formula or a high-protein formula. Both of the formula types contained protein amounts that are within recommendations.

Top 10 hacks of all
Saturday, 14 May 2011 - 8:49 PM SL Time

Incidents of data breaches are at an all-time high and hacking is behind most of them. Hacking doesn`t just tarnish an organisation`s reputation but can burden them with an enormous cost. For hackers there`s a mix of fame and felony charges that awaits them and in some cases, fortune with a career as an internet security consultant.

Sony Playstation`s Network Invasion

The consumer electronics giant has finally pointed to the internet vigilante group Anonymous for its data breach and is perhaps learning a lesson not just about internet security, but about what happens when you piss off a powerful group of people. On April 20, users of the Sony`s Playstation Network were hit with an outage and it took a few days for the company to even acknowledge the network was down. Two days after that Sony confirmed it had suffered a security breach. Finally, on April 26, Sony informed its customers that many user IDs and passwords had been stolen 77 million to be precise and advised that they should monitor their credit card statements for fraudulent transactions. Then, on May 3 the company prevented customer access to Sony Online Entertainment accounts because the original breach had gone beyond PS3 users and into other branches of the business. Sony stressed that contrary to media reports this wasn`t a second breach, but a realisation that the original breach had gone further than they originally realised, which is arguably worse. What makes this attack interesting is it`s potentially an act of retribution. Two days before the attack, Sony settled a case with George Hotz, also known as Geohot, who posted a code that can jailbreak Playstation consoles.

The Largest Dinosaur Ever? - A Monumental Failture of Imagination ?
Thursday, 19 May 2011 - 9:20 PM SL Time

Height: 70 feet (21.4 meters) About the size of a six story building.

Length: 120 feet (36.6 meters) Three long school buses end to end.

Weight: 100 tons

Period: Late Cretaceous

Argentinosaurus, recently discovered in Argentina, will probably will turn out to be the largest dinosaur yet discovered, larger than Ultrasauros or Seismosaurus. although Seismosaurus will likely continue to hold the record for total length due to its extremely long tail, characteristic of Diplodocidae. The cross section of one vertebra found of Argentinosaurus measures over five and one half feet in height. Evolutionary biologists believe that dinosaurs were able to reach such colossal sizes due to a colossal metabolism. At the height of its adolescence, Argentinosaurus was probably able to gain about 100 pounds a day!

My idea of Nibbana

Space is emptiness
Emptiness is nothingness
Nothingness is void of form
Void of form means non-existence

But space is an entity
An entity is not emptiness
So emptiness is not nothingness
Thus nothingness is not void of form

If Nibbana is emptiness
Then Nibbana is nothingness
But Nibbana is not void of form
Could Nibbana be non-existence?

But Nibbana is an entity
An entity is not emptiness
Emptiness is not nothingness

Tuesday, 24 May 2011 - 6:25 AM SL Time

French officials have confirmed that France and Britain will send attack helicopters to Libya in the latest effort to ramp up NATO`s targeting power against Muammar Gaddafi`s forces.

Alain Juppe, France`s chief diplomat, affirmed on Monday the proposed use of helicopter gunships - a move Jupee says is in line with a United Nations resolution that calls for the protection of Libyan civilians and NATO`s military operations.

NATO forces have been bombing Gaddafi forces in defence of civilians since late March, but the strikes have not yet been enough to break a deadlock between rebel and government forces.

Rome s lap-dance monastery
Sunday, 29 May 2011 - 8:27 PM SL Time

a renowned monastery in Rome where monks staged concerts featuring a lap-dancer-turned-nun and opened a hotel with a 24-hour limousine service has been shut down by the pope.

As part of Benedict XVI`s crackdown on loose living within the Catholic church, 20 or so Cistercian monks are now being evicted from the monastery at the basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, which hosts some of the church`s holiest relics.

An inquiry found evidence of liturgical and financial irregularities as well as lifestyles that were probably not in keeping with that of a monk, said Father Ciro Benedettini, a Vatican spokesman. The church remains open but the monks are awaiting transfer

Scientific Explanation for Six Senses.
Tuesday, 31 May 2011 - 8:51 PM SL Time

The most fundamental level consciousness begins with the ubiquitous quantum events. Furthermore that certain quantum phenomena (Schempp 1998, 2007, 2008 Mitchell 1995, 2003, 2008) operate at the macro level as well as the micro level and are responsible for many phenomena that living entities experience that cannot be otherwise explained. This would explain how twins or mothers_day.jsp' class=black>mother and child seem to communicate telepathically when at least one of them is under extreme duress as we have seen is so often reported anecdotally in the literature. In fact, as we shall soon see, several of these so called quantum group effects including a whole class of so-called psychic phenomena have been documented throughout recorded history. As we shall show shortly, some of these phenomena have been either demonstrated or suggested in recent laboratory experiments.
