Inner & Outer Change

On CoasttoCoastam radio, researcher and futurist Stephan Schwartz discussed his newest work on how individuals and small groups can change history by practicing eight laws of social change. These laws, observed by such groups as the Quakers, tap into non-local consciousness (the part of us that exists outside of time & space) and highlight the interconnectedness & interdependence of humanity.

Here are the laws:

1) Individuals and groups must share a common purpose or intent.

2) Individuals and groups may have goals, but must not be attached to "cherished" outcomes.

3) The goal may not be reached in the lifetime of the participants.

4) Accept and be OK with the idea that you might not get credit for the the success of a goal.

5) Each person in the group must have equal status in spite of any hierarchies.

6) Members must forswear violence by word, thought and act.

7) People must make their private selves consistent with their public postures.

8) Members must always act from the "beingness" of life integrity-- knowing that other persons are not exploitable resources.

He cited two women (Mairead Corrigan & Betty Williams), who founded the Peace People of Belfast in 1976 and went on to win a Nobel Peace Prize, as an example of ordinary people who brought about change in the world.

Schwartz has made available a free PDF file that further details the eight laws.

UC Davis statistician analyzes validity of paranormal predictions

"The evidence for [remote viewing] is much stronger than [aspirin preventing heart attacks] and yet we have people taking aspirin everyday to try to prevent heart attacks," Utts said. "People aren't willing to either look at this evidence or aren't willing to believe it when they see it."

Remote Viewing "Target of the Week"

Remote Viewing "Target of the Week" has been posted.

If you would like to try your hand at a new remote viewing target each week, specially selected for appropriateness to basic, intermediate, and advanced viewers, take a look at http://www.crviewer.com/targets.htm

There is a link to an instruction page, if you need it.

There are no membership requirements, no sign-ups, no fees, no tracking, etc. You can try these targets and no one sees the results except yourself and those to whom you decide to show them (you have full bragging rights when you do well).

The newest targets are at the top of the list, and the oldest ones at the bottom. Most people who come in late like to start with the oldest targets at the bottom of the list and work their way up the list. That way, they don't lose track when targets are put onto the top of the list each week. But you can do the targets in any order you wish.

There are no disturbing or horrible (blood & guts, crime, etc.) targets, and each target's fourth column provides you with feedback text, photos, movies, and links to additional feedback information, just in case your viewing provides you with something extra which is not included on the feedback page. Many of the targets have maps to provide practice for your dowsing skills, as well.

Give it a try. I think that you will enjoy the targets and the remote viewing experience.

Again, the URL is: http://www.crviewer.com/targets.htm


Enjoy

Click on 'Thursday, March 15th' to start the interview and scroll the timer forward to1:14:00

Interview with Stephan Schwartz

Join host Alex Tsakiris when he interviews well known remote viewer, researcher and author, Stephan A. Schwartz about his experiences in the “mental martial art” of remote viewing.

During the 50-minute interview Schwartz explains the connection between global climate change awareness and consciousness research: “The same kind of individual choices producing aggregate effects that goes on in global climate change is precisely the same thing that’s going on, or not going on in healing research, and in the remote viewing research. All of them require that you get to a place where you realize … all consciousness is interlinked and interdependent.”
