Many of you have heard me state that psychiatry is too focused on drugs. The most recent family of drugs are the so-called selective serotonin uptake inhibitors or SSRI antidepressants. But what about psychologists and their use of the mind or “cognitive” therapy?

According to Nobelist Eric Kandel, a neuroscientist at Columbia University, as reported by Science “cognitive behavioral therapy is as good if not better than selective serotonin uptake inhibitors in moderate depression.” Since many mental disorders such as OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and depression have physical abnormalities in the brain, mind over matter exists! Mind can and does rewire the brain. It also changes our bodies and can lead to health or illness.

Health care reform has been a daily news item. Is there anyway out of the black hole of sickness, expensive hospital costs, sky high medical insurance, and frustrating doctor visits?

Please join me on Monday November 2nd at 9 am PT (and anytime for the archived show after November 4 available for listening 24/7) when my guest Len Saputo, MD will discuss his book: A Return to Healing–Radical Health Care Reform and the Future of Medicine.

Dr. Saputo will discuss our flawed health care system and what he is doing to change it and how you can too.

Scientists are like Joe who lost his car keys at night and spent an hour looking unsuccessfully for them under a lamp post. His friend asked why didn’t elsewhere. Joe said: “Because this is the only place with light.” Scientists are searching for the truth of our world with even a narrower perspective!

Markandeya is a long time student of Dattatreya Siva Baba. Markandeya experienced a miraculous recovery from HIV & AIDS over 8 years ago, had a major heart procedure with anesthesia and has many other “miracles” in his life.

His show is about how you can experience miracles in your life.

I had the pleasure and honor to be his guest on Energy Talk Radio.

The interview is available for listening on your PDA or iPhone:http://www.energytalkradio.com/programsshows.html&program=3

Physicists believe that everything is inner connected. This is the conclusion from quantum physics. But scientists (many physicists included) insist on using the paradigm of materialism–that our universe can be explained by things. Now using this materialistic belief, scientists are proposing that the clouds on Earth come from outer space.

Several of you have been puzzled by my website “blog” posts and newsletter announcements from divergent field of science as to how they relate to Healing the Rift.

I hope that this will help tie them together.

Facts:

1. My book, Healing the Rift: Bridging the Gap between Science & Spirituality, laid the foundation for the assertion that we live in a universe of mind, consciousness, and spirit.
2. On my radio show and on over 100 radio and television interviews I told of how the 21^st century would be the century of the mind.
3. In 2009, just a few months after Healing the Rift was released an announcement was published in one of the world’s leading scientific journals that a single molecule (called a nanoparticle) could act as an AM radio receiver (and by inference as an AM radio transmitter).
4. I posted a blog on my website referencing this publication and I speculated that perhaps first life and all life was about tuning in and broadcasting the universal mind described in Healing the Rift.
5. Within a few months another publication (again in a world-class scientific journal) revealed that bacteria separated from each other in glass tubes could communicate by electromagnetic energy or what some might call “bacterial ESP.” Prior to this publication the scientific dogma was that bacteria could only communicate by chemical signals or touch. Again I posted this on my blog.
6. Then just a few weeks ago, again in a world-renown scientific journal, scientists revealed that microorganisms could anticipate the future somewhat like a dog can be trained to salivate upon hearing a bell ring! Again I posted this reference on my website blog.

How can single-celled microbes think without a brain or even a single nerve cell? All this is evidence that all life is connected and that all life is connected to each other and the universal mind which I described in Healing the Rift.

Seem outlandish? The articles are referenced on my website and are NOT in New Age magazines but instead in the most prestigious scientific (and peer-reviewed) journals in the world!

Stay tuned to my radio show, newsletters, and website—Such evidence is only the beginning of many to follow.

Steve Ryals is my guest on the Leo Kim radio show 1 pm Pacific Time July 29, 2009 (and archived on July 31 for listening anytime 24/7). Steve went from homeless and shooting drugs at age 17 to graduating from UC Berkeley on the Dean’s list six years later. He is a minister of the Universal Life Church, a licensed massage therapist, and a Reiki therapist.

Steve attributes his current health and happiness to his direct experience that “healing takes feeling” and says that the health, safe, and appropriate sharing of feelings is key to a wonder-filled life.

Join me when we discuss his new book: Drunk with Wonder:  Awakening to the God within.

Nerve cells make up the brain. Whether a lowly worm has a brain can be debated but they have a few hundred nerve cells, while a fly has 100,000 campared to a human’s 100,000,000,000. But are any of these necessary to make decisions? If not then mind (if mind is the one making decisions) doesn’t depend on brain or even nerve cells. The latest scientific findings show that single cell creatures such as bacteria and yeast are making such decisions!
