This week on GFM Media, we are joined by our good friend and ally, Sol Luckman, author and creator of the Regenetics Method of DNA and kundalini activation using Solfeggio frequencies.

Sol Luckman is a prolific visual artist and innovator in the field of ink painting as well as a critically acclaimed author of fiction and nonfiction. After becoming chronically ill due to a debilitating vaccine abreaction, Sol made his living with a form of allergy elimination technique before embarking on a self-healing quest that resulted in the birth of the Regenetics Method.

His numerous books include the international bestselling CONSCIOUS HEALING: BOOK ONE ON THE REGENETICS METHOD, described by NEXUS as “revolutionary healing science expanding the boundaries of being,” and POTENTIATE YOUR DNA: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HEALING & TRANSFORMATION WITH THE REGENETICS METHOD.

His latest novel, SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, the riveting, coming-of-age tale of one extraordinary boy’s awakening to the world-changing reality of his dreams, won the National Indie Excellence Book Award (2015).

In his bold, colourful paintings, one of which was recently featured on the cover of Itzhak Beery’s THE GIFT OF SHAMANISM, Sol is committed, first and foremost, to exploring and depicting energy. His vision of the world is deeply shamanic, as a place not wholly solid, but informed by a kinetic vibrancy that is fundamentally conscious.

His intention is for viewers to see this universe of intelligent energy in his compositions, as objects condition space with their essence, and vice versa, and the outside conflates with the inside because All Is One.

Join us this Sunday night at 9 pm (Sydney time) for a fascinating chat about the power of sound in healing and transformation and the state of the global awakening with Sol Luckman, originator of the very potent Regenetics Method: www.globalfreedommovement.org/media

The Tipping Point Study 2011 – Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society. The scientists, who are members of the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) at Rensselaer, used computational and analytical methods to discover the tipping point where a minority belief becomes the majority opinion. The finding has implications for the study and influence of societal interactions ranging from the spread of innovations to the movement of political ideals.

“When the number of committed opinion holders is below 10 percent, there is no visible progress in the spread of ideas. It would literally take the amount of time comparable to the age of the universe for this size group to reach the majority,” said SCNARC Director Boleslaw Szymanski, the Claire and Roland Schmitt Distinguished Professor at Rensselaer. “Once that number grows above 10 percent, the idea spreads like flame.”

Maharishi Effect – an excerpt from Brendan D. Murphy’s The Grand Illusion, Chapter 11

In 1960, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi predicted that 1% of a population practicing the Transcendental Meditation (TM®) technique would produce measurable improvements in quality of life for the whole population. The collective meditations caused what the Maharishi termed “super-radiance,” a physics term used to describe the coherence of laser light as well as coherent bioenergetic systems.
This phenomenon was first noticed in 1974 and reported in a paper published in 1976. Here, the finding was that when 1% of a community practiced the Transcendental Meditation program, the crime rate was reduced by 16% on average, and so the phenomenon was dubbed the Maharishi Effect. The Maharishi Effect is essentially the influence of mental and emotional coherence and positivity in the sociological and natural realms, as created specifically by the TM® and TM-Sidhi® programs.
The Grand Illusion sol luckman brendan d murphyScientists estimated on the basis of comparisons to physical systems that the coherence generated by groups engaged in the TM-Sidhi® program should be proportional to the square of the number of participants. Thus, based on the original 1% result, they predicted that a group consisting of the square root of 1% of a population would have a measurable influence on that population’s quality of life. For example, a group of just 7,000 would influence 4.9 billion (100 × 7,000 × 7,000) people, the population of the world in 1960.
The TM-Sidhi® program was repeatedly practiced in large groups through to the 1980s, and the first statistical analysis of the effects was published in 1987. “These showed a decrease of about 11% in violent crimes in Washington, D.C., in total crimes in Metro Manila, and in total crimes in the Union Territory of Delhi. The p values (the probabilities of the observed changes happening by chance) of these three effects were 0.01, 0.005, and 0.001, which are excellent for results in social science.”
Maharishi Effect research has been refined and developed to the point now where it is possible to lodge a prediction in advance with the police and mayor of a city and then create the effect—a notion that was tested in 1993 in Washington, D.C., under the careful scrutiny of “a distinguished review board.” The maximum decrease in violent crimes was a startling 23.3%, though this number increased slightly when a longer baseline was used from 1988 to 1993. The statistical probability that this result could reflect chance variation in crime levels was less than two in 1 billion (p < .000000002).
Whenever the local Super Radiance group reached the threshold number of 4,000, the rate of violent crime fell and continued to fall until the end of the experiment (this was shown not to be due to police activity or other effects). After the group disbanded, the crime rate rose once again.
The Maharishi Effect is potent evidence of the existence of a unified and conscious medium or spatial “fabric” that is responsive to our conscious intent. Collectively, through coherent and laser-like intention, we appear to have the ability to create a kind of mental “super-radiance” in the world, particularly when a point of critical mass is reached. A group of like-minded people creates an inductive field that massively amplifies each individual’s ability to exert influence on the world; the Maharishi Effect is a “quantum additive” effect. In the following graph (Figure 11.1) from experiments done in 1990, note how the rate of violence decreases as the number of meditators increases.

Obviously the quality of thought and state of mind we evince and radiate affects the field of consciousness we all must share. The creative power of positive thought has long been an occult tenet—“Where…a good and pure intelligence [works] to aid the world by diffusing through it noble and lofty thoughts, there definite service is done to man, and the lonely thinker becomes one of the lifters of the world.” This is merely one of many aspects of occult doctrine that has been proved by modern research methods.
Dean Radin, in fact, notes in The Conscious Universe something that is self-evident to the occultist when he states that the field consciousness studies conducted in parapsychology suggest the presence of something comparable to an “ecology of thought” invisibly weaving through society. He suggests—in complete congruence with established mystical wisdom—that destructive thoughts may constitute a far-reaching form of pollution of that “mental ecology” which, by infecting others at a distance, may ultimately spread like a virus right around the planet.
The mental analogy to the ecology of thought that Radin is looking for comes in the form of the hyperspatial astral and mental planes of the occultist where our scalar thought-emotion forms are born. In contrast to the “mind viruses” Radin speaks of, we have the Maharishi Effect. We can extend coherence (love) or chaos (hatred, anger, etc.) into the world.
Even regular electrical brain activity generates a magnetic field detectable at small distances from the head using a magneto-encephalogram. In 1977, Itzhak Bentov suggested that due to the human body’s electrical field being coupled with Earth’s field, we are exchanging energy with it via a long wavelength of about 40,000 km. Bentov believed this frequency was ideal for conveying a telepathic signal, and that other people close to this frequency would have a natural tendency to lock into it and become resonant. He believed that we could increase our resonance with the planet and each other through meditation, and the experiments such as those of the Transcendental Meditation Group (TMG) bear this out. What the TMG style of experiments show, however, is that others do not have to be meditating to be affected by the intent of the meditating protagonists. They can be blissfully unaware at the conscious level and the effects will still manifest.

Laura Walker’s Oracle Report

More about Biofilms – The role of bacterial biofilms in chronic infections.

Abstract

Acute infections caused by pathogenic bacteria have been studied extensively for well over 100 years. These infections killed millions of people in previous centuries, but they have been combated effectively by the development of modern vaccines, antibiotics and infection control measures. Most research into bacterial pathogenesis has focused on acute infections, but these diseases have now been supplemented by a new category of chronic infections caused by bacteria growing in slime-enclosed aggregates known as biofilms. Biofilm infections, such as pneumonia in cystic fibrosis patients, chronic wounds, chronic otitis media and implant- and catheter-associated infections, affect millions of people in the developed world each year and many deaths occur as a consequence. In general, bacteria have two life forms during growth and proliferation. In one form, the bacteria exist as single, independent cells (planktonic) whereas in the other form, bacteria are organized into sessile aggregates. The latter form is commonly referred to as the biofilm growth phenotype. Acute infections are assumed to involve planktonic bacteria, which are generally treatable with antibiotics, although successful treatment depends on accurate and fast diagnosis. However, in cases where the bacteria succeed in forming a biofilm within the human host, the infection often turns out to be untreatable and will develop into a chronic state. The important hallmarks of chronic biofilm-based infections are extreme resistance to antibiotics and many other conventional antimicrobial agents, and an extreme capacity for evading the host defences. In this thesis, I will assemble the current knowledge on biofilms with an emphasis on chronic infections, guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of these infections, before relating this to my previous research into the area of biofilms. I will present evidence to support a view that the biofilm lifestyle dominates chronic bacterial infections, where bacterial aggregation is the default mode, and that subsequent biofilm development progresses by adaptation to nutritional and environmental conditions. I will make a series of correlations to highlight the most important aspects of biofilms from my perspective, and to determine what can be deduced from the past decades of biofilm research. I will try to bridge in vitro and in vivo research and propose methods for studying biofilms based on this knowledge. I will compare how bacterial biofilms exist in stable ecological habitats and opportunistically in unstable ecological habitats, such as infections. Bacteria have a similar lifestyle (the biofilm) in both habitats, but the fight for survival and supremacy is different. On the basis of this comparison, I will hypothesize how chronic biofilm infections are initiated and how bacteria live together in these infections. Finally, I will discuss different aspects of biofilm infection diagnosis. Hopefully, this survey of current knowledge and my proposed guidelines will provide the basis and inspiration for more research, improved diagnostics, and treatments for well-known biofilm infections and any that may be identified in the future.
