Beautiful,

.
There are many
delicate layers of Love,

in a Masterpiece of a Divinely Beautiful
Sunrise or Sunset
or
Living Creation.

.We owe our Lord
a debt
of immeasurable proportions.

The Natural Colors
of our surroundings

you.

The Beauty 
found in God’s Natural World
is such a great way to transport yourself
to this time,
to this moment.

God’s Love
is the Path
upon which you Travel
away
from yourself,
as you enter a World
of Soft and Gentle
Energy.

The Sacred Words
of our Precious Lord,
will be Engraved into the
Conscious mind
of your Heart,
and guide you in the direction
of a rewarding and positive Life
every day.

Put aside
all the things that happened
in the past.
.
Forgive
and return your Heart
to Innocence and Peace.

Our Lord
Speaks to the Peace
in our Soul. 

Every Leaf
of every Tree,
is from the Heart of One
who Truly Loves you
and me.

Such Love
Blooms in copper green,
and brownish gleam,
and colors yellow
and mellow,
to the mind,
to at last perish with the wind
and be reborn
again,
in our Heart,
in our Time.

.Life itself
branches out in our Dreams,
destined to the Stars
as the Light
of Life
is bright and beams
Love
to every thing.

Thank you Dear Lord
for your Precious
Love.

Discovering
how much you Love
everyone and everything,
has an amazing effect on Life
and Living.

Like a tiny drop of Precious rain
landing on a smooth surface of water,
Love
brings Beautiful waves of ever – enlarging rings,
flowing across the surface of Time,
and spreading out to
Infinity.

I Pray
that you find Joy
in all that you do,
and that you find your purpose,
and your way,
and why.

Your Love
helps you become a better Person,
and,
helps the World to be
a better Place.

 Our Loving Thoughts
for others
are comforting and have
Wings.
.
They fly in your Dreams,
 until they land in Life
and form meaning,
and find lost ones
that God will Bless
with your Life.

The older we get,
the more memories
we have.
And our memories
will blend softly into the air, 
and at times,
 fall with a rain of tears,
and soak into the Sacred ground
as they continue to Live.

They will drift 
into the Hearts
of many others.

Memories
Live long after,
to Create new feelings
of Joy
and Happiness.

Loving acts,
Create
Loving memories.

Kindness
is one of the Wonderful Gifts
that enrich our Spiritual Life.
There are times
when we are immersed
in the Melody of the Moment.

Our caring for others,
makes our mind relax,
gives us a sense of Peace
and the desire
to be the best
we can.

And we can.

A Kind Thought
is like a gentle Hug
that soothes the mind
and envelops the body,
in Tranquility.

Each
Act of Kindness
is like a Caress,
that transports us to a state of
Inner Peace,
a True Work of Art
that invites relaxation and contemplation.

In our Quest
to discover our own
Innate Higher Intelligence,
we are being called
to see the Light
within.

Goodnight.

The Mystery of Life

One of Creation’s wonders is so commonplace that we don’t notice it. Yet it’s more marvelous than all the others . . . Life. What mysterious quality makes a creature alive at one moment but is absent the instant the creature dies? What is this mystery of Life?

No matter how much scientists learn about the complexities of organisms, they have not touched the more difficult questions – what is Life itself, and where did it come from?

Latest Answers

Have you ever thought about what Life actually is? What mysterious quality makes a creature alive at one moment but is absent the instant the creature dies?    A baby’s body, no longer breathing after it has just died, contains the same DNA, the same Heart and body, and the same mass as it did only moments earlier. So what is missing?

An entry in Wikipedia admits, “There is no Universal definition of Life; there are a variety of definitions proposed by different scientists.”

The latest Encyclopedia Britannica agrees. “Although the scientists, technicians, and others who participate in studies of Life easily distinguish living matter from inert or dead matter, none can give a completely inclusive, concise definition of Life itself.” Nevertheless, the encyclopedia’s online version attempts a clunky definition with lots of complex scientific terms:

A biochemical or molecular biological definition sees living organisms as systems that contain reproducible hereditary information coded in nucleic acid molecules and that metabolize by controlling the rate of chemical reactions using proteinaceous catalysts known as enzymes.

Such definitions don’t actually state what Life is, merely what we see in living things. For instance, the biologist and philosopher Harold J. Morowitz comments that living things have one thing in common – cells: “The only Life we know for certain is cellular.”

The teaching guidelines for British textbooks suggest that students ages 11 to 14 learn that life is anything that displays seven qualities, summarized in the cute mnemonic MRS. GREN. That is, living objects have Movement, Respiration, Sensitivity, Growth, Reproduction, Excretion, and Nutrition. These properties are typical of cellular life, but they still don’t say what Life actually is.

Advanced as computer technology may become, a living thing is still leaps beyond.

To help us understand the problem with defining Life,  a cell can be compared to a powerful computer – a highly sophisticated system that stores and processes information. There is more to a working computer than its physical parts – it needs a designer, a programmer, and an engineer to build its parts. Then it needs a source of power and an operator to turn it on.

Advanced as computer technology may become, a living thing is still leaps beyond. Despite its complexity, the computer is not alive. Consider a house fly buzzing about an office on a blistering day. If the power shuts down, the computer “dies,” but it can be rebooted after the power is restored. Not so with the fly.

No Definition in Scripture

Plants Are Not Alive?

The Bible assigns “Life” to animals, not to plants. Plants are merely described as “green things” (Job 39:8). Most scientists would agree that any life in plants is of a different order than that in animals. If we saw a dead tree in a forest, we wouldn’t be repulsed – we might even sit on the stump! Most of us, however, would not consider sitting on a dead animal. Similarly, we are happy to place dead flowers in a vase, but most homes would not display dead mice.

While the Bible makes a big deal about the wonders of life, it never actually defines it. God introduced this special thing on Day Five of creation: “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath Life” (Genesis 1:20, KJV).

The Hebrew word used for the quality of having Life is nephesh. Leviticus 17:11 shows us that this Life is related to having blood: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.”

The word nephesh is translated in this particular verse as Life, but also as Soul. Yet, although the Life is in the blood, this verse does not tell us what Life actually is.

The sort of Life described in the Bible is not physical. While Life clearly produces physical results that we can observe, that quality called “Life” is something intangible.

Life, by God’s Command

No matter how much scientists discover about the physical systems in organisms and their possible origin, they still have no clue about the infinitely more difficult question of where Life came from. If you could make a baby from scratch, with all its physical parts in place, you still would not have a living Human.

The Bible gives us the answer.

Life is a Gift from God, a Blessing from the Creator Himself. By God’s command, not physical accident, it is granted or removed.

“And [Job] said, Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21).

Even if we do not understand what Life is, all Humans can “see” it all around them. They also know in their Hearts that the Life-Giver makes all this Life possible. God uses even the mysteries of His creation to make Himself known!

“I Am . . . the Life”

In fact, Human Life encompasses more than the “Life” of animals. After Adam and Eve rebelled against their Creator, Humans forfeited their right to Life in this higher sense. While our bodies may be full of vigor and outward vitality, the Bible says we are dead. The world is one big Spiritual graveyard, with zombies that appear to be living but are missing another quality that is infinitely more significant than breath or physical mobility.

To restore this life – everlasting Life – the Life-giver Jesus Christ stepped into our world. The Creator made this Life available to all, but we find it in only one place: “He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life”          (1 John 5:12).

God’s hand is at the switch, and He asks only that we look to Him in faith, trusting in the merits of His Son, who was the sacrifice for our sin, that we might obtain Life everlasting.

“He who believes in the Son has everlasting Life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see Life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36).

Love
is Life.

Knowledge is power
and LIFE.

Eternal, Immortal and Ageless / What Really Matters in Life? / School Calendar

The loss
of someone you deeply Love,
absolutely shapes our whole idea
of Enduring Love.

Deep inside
our very Human Heart,
the pain of losing someone
so special,
reminds us that
Life is short.

It is
brief at best.

Life
is so breathtakingly
Beautiful.
.
And,
such Beauty can lead us on
a Spiritual Journey.
.
We can enter
a different realm of
Existence.
.With deep meditation,
through Prayer,
we can elevate
our Spiritual Vibration.
.
My Dear Friends,
our Souls
do not die.
They Journey Forever
onward.

“Love
is how you stay alive,
even after you are gone.”
–  Mitch Albom

After profound investigation,
scientists say that it is
True,
about the Immortality of our Souls.
Our bodies do die,
but our Souls live
Forever.
.
Quantum mechanics
is responsible
for this phenomenon.
It is the Science that deals with
the behavior of matter
at the atomic and subatomic levels.

Dr. Robert Lanza
is an expert in regenerative medicine
and the scientific director of
Advanced Cell Technology Company.
He was first famous for his extensive research
on stem cells, but recently
he has become involved with physics,
quantum mechanics and astrophysics.

Lanza argues that the structure of our Universe
implies an intelligence existed before matter did.
He goes on to state that space and time are not objects, but tools used by animals (like us)
to understand the world around us.
Without space and time,
Lanza believes we would still exist
as individual consciousnesses.

Lanza’s theory
is based on the work of quantum mechanics,
which has shown that particles, like electrons,
do not have a definite location
until they are observed.
Lanza argues that this means
it is consciousness that creates
the physical World.

According to quantum theory,
death is not the end for our consciousness.
Our consciousness is a quantum field,
and as such, it is Immortal.
When our physical bodies die,
our consciousness simply moves on
to another quantum field.

Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose
say that our Consciousness is data
saved at this Quantum level.

Dr. Hameroff explained:
“Let’s say the Heart stops beating,
the blood stops flowing; the micro-tubules
lose their Quantum state,”
“The Quantum information within the micro-tubules
is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates
to the Universe at large.”

Max Planck Institute for Physics’s
researchers
in Munich claim that
there is Life after death.
They say that the World in which we Live currently represents our perception.
So, after our death,
the Souls go into this indefinite beyond.

Dr. Hans-Peter Durr
from this Institute claimed:
“What we consider the here and now,
this World,
it is actually just the material level that is comprehensible,”
“The beyond is an Infinite Reality
that is much bigger.”

Your Sacred Soul
will never cease to be.
The Soul is
Eternal, Immortal, and
Ageless.

“Therefore we do not lose Heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed
day by day.”
– 2 Corinthians 4

Take time every day
to contemplate on the Soul.
Bring to mind that by its
Presence,
the body is Truly
conscious, alive, and
vital.
.
Be Grateful,
be Happy.Oh,
Child of God,
Love is not lost
when the body is left behind.

True Love
is pure Perfection.
As we remember
a lost Love,
 the pain of loss
is there,
but the Joy
in having had a brief moment
of Happiness,
Truly
matters.

The Soul
is the Conscious Life
which resulted when God
added His Breath of Life,
the Divine Spark,
to the body.

“The LORD God formed the man
from the dust of the ground
and breathed into his nostrils
the Breath of Life,
and the man became a Living Being”
– Genesis 2:7
.
A Soul is a Living Being.

Love
is a matter of
Life.

God’s Love
is the Greatest Love Story
ever.
.
It touches the Heart
and Lives
deep
within the
Soul.

Our True Being
will survive suffering,
and long after,
be remembered.
.
Our Love
is a Marvel to Behold.
It is Real,
as Real as Real
can be.

It is 
the ONLY Reality.

“Love is the only Reality
and it is not a mere sentiment.
It is the Ultimate Truth
that lies at the Heart of Creation.”
– Rabindranath Tagore

When
Love has Truly touched
your Heart,
you will understand.
The sadness of letting go
totally expresses
Life.

Say not,
they die,
our Splendid Souls.
Our Lives
are purposed fine.

Death
means not
that we resign.
For we cannot
die.
.
We vanquish Time, 
and leave behind
a Glowing Light of Memory,
of Precious Life
sublime.

 We are not just
physical bodies.
We are Infinite Light. 

Our Lives
drive our passions,
and bring Love into
Reality.

The Light
of our Love,
is a Dream
come True.

It
touches the Soul
on levels that words
will never define.

Goodnight.

What Really Matters in Life?
(How to Find out What Matters Most)

By Hugo
https://www.trackinghappiness.com/author/hugo/

Updated on January 14, 2022

We live in a world packed with material possessions and are encouraged to chase these things. As a result, our needs never seem to stop growing. So we keep running. But what really matters here?

We run after bigger television sets, newer smartphones, and better cars. We run after job promotions and luxurious holidays. We tend to think that more money in our bank accounts will translate into happier lives. While offline and online shopping can bring us short-term satisfaction, it rarely matters in the long run. There are all examples of things that don’t matter in the end.

Well then, what really matters in Life? This article shows you what matters in life and how to find the things that matter most.

What really matters in Life

The wise do not chase after materialistic items. More clothes, smarter gadgets, bigger cars, and luxurious houses can make our lives more convenient, but do these things bring us long-lasting happiness?

They don’t.

What really matters in Life is Happiness itself. Happiness comes from having a purpose in Life, loving and accepting yourself and others, and maintaining good health. Without these, you will always end up feeling unfulfilled and unhappy.

Research on the impact of relationships on life

An adult development study by Harvard on the lives of more than 700 people was conducted for over 75 years. The participants were divided into two groups – one group with participants who finished college and the other with participants from poor neighborhoods. Their personal and professional lives were studied, as well as their health and relationships.

While most people thought that money and fame made for a happier life, the research showed something different. It was good relationships that had a more positive impact on life. It’s not about having a big circle of friends or several relationships. It’s about having meaningful relationships. Quality over quantity.

In the words of Professor Robert Waldinger, the director of the study:

The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.

Robert Waldinger

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI?feature=oembed]

Psychiatrist George Vaillant, one of the earlier researchers of the study, came to the same conclusion in his own words:

The key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.

George Vaillant

Research on the purpose of life

A study by the researchers of the Harvard School of Public Health found that when people have a high sense of purpose or direction in life, they tend to remain healthier in life.

The researchers tracked data from 2006 and 2010 from a national study of participants over 50 years old. Physical and psychological examinations of their health were conducted, including walking speed, grip test, and a questionnaire to measure their sense of purpose.

The results showed that the participants with a higher sense of purpose had a reduced risk of developing weaker grip and slower speed.

Deathbed regrets

One of my favorite articles online is called “Regrets of the Dying”, which covers the most frequently quoted regrets of people on their deathbed. It’s a fascinating story that uncovers what most people regret the most as they are near the end of their lives. Here’s the gist of it:

1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Notice how none of the deathbed regrets are “I wish I had bought a bigger TV”?

What matters in Life and why

For anyone struggling to find what really matters in life, here are some clues.

1. Purpose in life

A sense of purpose gives us the “why” of our life. It is the reason why we do what we do. It is the reason for our actions, our work and our relationships. Our lives revolve around this purpose. It gives our life meaning – a meaning which matters in life.

However, do not panic if you struggle to find your purpose. We have all been in that place. I remember when I did, I asked myself three questions:

• Why do I get up?
• What do I want?
• What do I not want?

These questions have helped me find my purpose in life. It helped me discover what really matters to me. Whenever you feel like you are losing track of your life and yourself, you can always go back to these questions. Just remember to be honest with yourself.

2. Good relationships

Relationships are important. The positive kind, of course. In a busy world like ours, we often think that we don’t have a lot of time to give to our family or friends.

Even worse, we take it all for granted and postpone it for later, while we prioritize our work.

However, your family, friends, and loved ones are part of what makes your life happier.

Good relationships are a crucial part of a happy life.

I remember the happiest memories of my life revolve around spending time with my family and friends.

Good relationships really matter. You need to nurture these relationships with the attention, love, and care that they deserve.

Here are a few ways to do that:

• Spend time with people who support and encourage you.
• Replace the time you spend on your phone or TV with real people.
• Do things with your loved ones to strengthen your relationship with them.
• Reach out to old friends and relatives and connect with your colleagues.

Spend time with positive people and watch how it changes your life for the better.

3. Good health

Health is probably one of the most important things that we take for granted. We don’t eat healthily, we sleep poorly, and we don’t treasure our bodies. But health matters – both our physical health and mental health.

Be kind to yourself, your mind, and your body. A lot of people are not so lucky to have a healthy body, so keep it nourished and nurtured.

Here are some interesting articles filled with tips on how to focus on your health:

• How Much Does Exercising Make You Happier? (Research + Tips)
• Mental Benefits Of Walking: Here’s Why It Makes You Happier!
• 4 Ways To Find Happiness Through Yoga (From A Yoga Teacher)

Always prioritize your health. Improve your lifestyle. Eat healthily and drink plenty of water. Get out and talk to people. Visit the doctor for regular check-ups. Treat your health as if it is crucial because it really is.

4. Love and accept yourself

Accepting and loving yourself matters. When you completely embrace yourself and nurture your well-being and growth, you’ll start to see the positive effect it has on your life. A positive view of yourself leads to a positive view of the world.

Don’t be afraid to be yourself and accept yourself for who you are.

If you are unable to love yourself, you will be unable to love others too. There was a time in my life when I criticized everything I did and thought that my life fell apart because of how I am. I disliked myself. Not long after, I started distancing myself from people. It was after I learned how to love myself that I could love and care for others.

How did I do that?

• I accepted my flaws and recognized my strengths.
• I forgave myself when I made a mistake, but I also held myself accountable.
• I spent time with those I loved and asked for help when I needed it.
• I stayed positive as much as I could and let go of resentment.
• I made healthier choices and tracked my growth and progress.

 In short, I started to love myself again, and so can you. Take time to discover your true self and embrace it.

Positive Potential and a Higher Purpose / The Power of Spiritual Love / School Calendar.

New awareness
about the Nature of Reality
recognizes the simultaneous Nature
of all
Existence.

We are
far more
than our bodies.
.
On the Quantum Mechanical Level
within the Transcendental Realm,
we merge with the oneness
of all things,
while simultaneously maintaining
our individuality.

More deeply,
we enter the pure Unified Field
within the Transcendental
Realm.

At this depth,
a Unified Field exists
as a Field of Pure
consciousness.

We
are unified with everything.
In fact,
everything dwells within us.

The Holy Spirit
dwells in us,
the Treasure which has been entrusted
to you.
This is not a metaphor,
but a reality.

“Through the Power
of the Holy Spirit
who Lives within us,
carefully guard the Precious Truth
that has been entrusted to you. “
– 2 Timothy 1:14

And as we learn to go deeper
within,
we feel it more fully.

Yes,
there are Higher Realms
of Existence
in every Being that is
Human.
.
There are Spiritual Realms
of our Existence
that simultaneously exist
with
the Plane of our Existence.

We exist
Dimensionally Higher than our
physical World,
where our Being is
 closer to the Source of Life,
to our Universal Mind,
to our Consciousness, 
to our Spirit,
to God.
.
Reality
is the Eternal union
of all that is.
The thing that really exists,
is pure, Eternal,
Consciousness.

When 
our thoughts
and our awareness
are blended with
Nature,
we come to Love
the Beauty of our own
Creation,
 and grow to have
Spiritual Peace.
.
We are all
One.
That is what is meant by:
“Whatsoever ye do unto the least of these
… ye do unto me.”
– Matthew 25:40

If
you seek
a profound Spiritual Awakening,
the rising Sun
is filtering through the Clouds
in a Magnificent Display
of God’s Love,
God’s Nature.

Open your eyes,
and open your Heart,
to envision epic moments
like this.
God is Speaking.
.
 Our sense of awareness
may be so numbing,
that we are unaware of our
Freedom
to fall in Love
with everything,
and everyone.

Our World
is big,
with good people everywhere.
A pleasant and surprising
awakening
awaits you on your Journey
into
their Hearts.

Challenge yourself
to be more fluid in your
thinking.

Cherish Life
for the amazing Blessing
that it is.

God doesn’t Bless us
just to make us
Happy.

Yes,
 our World is filled
with the Blessings
of Beauty.

And it is our
choice

My Dear Friends,
it is such a Blessing from God

Let us

Life.

So many amazing attributes

declare
“As a man thinketh
so shall he be.”

My Dear Friend,
what you think
matters.
It is forming the basis
of who you are,
and who you will
become.

What is on the
inside
is so much more important,

The Power of Spiritual Love
and 22 Ways It Will Change Your Life

by Jared Akers

You’ve probably heard the saying, “We’re Spiritual beings having a Human experience.” I have no idea who originally said that… but I believe it to be true. Do you?

The first question you should ask yourself before getting too far into this subject is: do you believe you are a Spiritual Being?

No? (stick around and see what you find)
Yes? (keep reading)

Call it intuition, a heightened sense of awareness, enlightenment, etc., the idea that we’re Spiritual Beings is nothing new, yet people still seem confused on what this actually means. For me, it simply means I’m part of something bigger, i.e. I’m not the center of the universe.

Whether we believe this something bigger to be God or some creator, who knows. We can live a Spiritual Life, and find Spiritual Love, without defining what or why we should believe in something. More importantly, we can allow others to do the same. Now that we have that out of the way…

Spiritual Love is something that comes from both the Heart and the mind; it is unconditional Love. As intellectual beings, we often confuse our thoughts with what’s in our Hearts. The farthest distance in the world is often the twelve inches between our head and our heart. Knowing we should be Loving and caring and acting that way are two completely different things. We’re judged by our actions not our intentions.

So how do we get it out of our head (this idea of love and caring) and into our Hearts?

We must first learn Love, empathy, and understanding for ourselves. Then and only then can we truly recognize and EXPRESS these feelings towards others. Try explaining to someone what broccoli tastes like if you have never tasted it yourself or how a baby’s skin feels against your cheek if you’ve never experienced it.

In order to fully accept and Love others unconditionally,  we need to start with ourselves. Once we develop Spiritual Love for self, it will come naturally for others. The deeper our acceptance and Love for self goes, the less we need externally to feel Loved and validated. As we need less externally to prop up our ego and self-esteem, our need to judge others declines and the ability to Love unconditionally increases.

A few months ago I heard something simple yet life changing: Want peace? Suspend judgment of yourself and others. I thought that was amazing and very powerful.

Learning to suspend judgment of ourselves is not easy and takes hard work. I found it difficult to stop judging myself after years of living a life I wasn’t proud of – and the realization I wasn’t as fond of myself as I previously thought (head vs. Heart).  My ego (head) said I was a big shot while my Heart told me I was a failure unworthy of Love. My discovery process was through working on myself Spiritually and emotionally; things I talked about in the Spiritual Serenity Series. It was and is hard work at times, but is it worth it!

22 Ways Spiritual Love Will Change Your Life

1. You will develop more meaningful relationships based out of true respect and love; not what can you do for me?
2. Resentments will fade – eventually disappear entirely – due to diminished expectations of others and yourself
3. You will discover you need less to be happy (materially and emotionally)
4. The world will seem a lot more peaceful, no matter what is going on around you
5. As you develop a more altruistic view, you’ll find happiness and peace is the reward
6. Others will naturally be drawn to you
7. You will attract abundance in areas you didn’t even know you were lacking
8. You will sleep better
9. People in your life will know how much they mean to you
10. You will notice things in people and Nature which you never realized were there before
11. Gratitude will start to fill your Heart more than fear and loneliness
12. You will realize that anyone, at any given moment, is doing the best they can
13. You will feel genuine happiness for others good fortune as opposed to envy
14. Your past will become your biggest asset
15. You will begin to realize little in life is really hard, just uncomfortable at times
16. Each moment will be filled of unimaginable potential
17. Love will become your favorite word and action
18. Exercise and living healthy will become more important as Love for self grows
19. You will find what it is you were always looking for
20. Food will taste better
21. You will never be alone again
22. You will consistently feel on the verge of greatness as opposed to calamity

Wow, what a list eh?  What do you think? Do you Love yourself today?

Inside the world’s safest house

SEAN CONNERS | STAFF

Tucked in an unassuming neighborhood in a district two miles southwest of the UC Berkeley campus, the “world’s safest” house stands boldly. And so does Eugene Tssui, a Cal alumnus and the house’s architect. In the past 20 years, the pair has challenged conventional wisdom and defied architecture’s status quo. Buying a small plot near a university built atop the Hayward Fault, in a state renowned for its earthquakes, Tssui seized the challenge to build a secure house for his elderly parents. His plan? Emulate the hardiness of a microscopic water bug.

The neighborhood fortress

From the street, the water bug likeness is uncanny. Amid a blanket of dense and colorful foliage, the rough-hewn exterior soars upward. Walls are striped with wrinkles and pockmarked with dinosaurian ridges. According to Tssui, every form has a function. The ridges each contain a black plastic tube that lets hot air flow around the house. The wrinkles magnify the effect. In the case of a fire, the striated surface would carry the heat up, out and away.

“It’s completely fireproof,” Tssui explained.

But that’s not all. The massive sailfish-like fin towering over the entrance doubles as a rain cowl and a wind breaker. Water and gusts of wind are directed away from the windows and doors (preventing indoor flooding). Though California hurricanes are rare, the house is prepared for the worst.

Tssui paid careful attention to sourcing the best building materials. The house’s structure is made of Rastra, a special concrete infused with compressed, recycled coffee cups. Rastra’s benefits are numerous, including fire resistance, flooding resistance, mildew resistance, termite resistance and noise reduction. In fact, Rastra’s sound insulation reduces sound levels by 50 dB or, in Tssui’s terms, “the difference between a jet roar and normal speech.” As for earthquakes, the house’s cavernous interior is supported by Structo-lite, a super strong plaster. Under stress, Structo-lite bends, flexes and adjusts. When the world is shaking, the house comes alive and survives.

“It goes beyond the definition of safety itself,” Tssui said. “A safe building is (by conventional standards) a heavy, rigid and monolithic building. But in nature, the strongest things are lightweight, flexible and unified. (This house) is designed as nature would design for safety. I’m absolutely sure it’s the safest thing that could be built for this disaster-prone area.”

Onlookers agree. From “most indestructible” to “disaster-proof,” the house’s accolades have held up to its miniature namesake: the Tardigrade, a beetle-like, extremophile creature. In 2007, the tiny Tardigrade became the first animal to survive outer space. In both form and function, Tssui’s meticulous translation of the little survivor’s body features into practical building designs has succeeded beyond the architect’s expectation. Recently, he replaced his house’s former, more mysterious designation, “Ojo del Sol,” with a more direct “Tardigrade House.” In spite of his best efforts, the public has been slow to catch on. ­

“Its seems to the general populace that it looks like a giant fish,” Tssui says with a shrug.

Twenty years ago, cynics thought the house would attract prostitution and drug trafficking. Over time, locals have come to call it “the Fish House near San Pablo Park.”  Now, this too may change. Originally built as his parent’s private residence, Tssui has partnered with Airbnb to rent the house to Bay Area travelers as short-term lodging. Now empty, Tardigrade House’s interior design is a striking contrast to its ashen exterior. Inside is a secret, otherworldly place with its own artistic bravado.

Swollen with sunshine

Entering the house is its own story. A flagstone path meanders from the sidewalk to the front door. The path descends in a slope, leading one into the jaws of the house. Tssui explains that he is trying to draw people into nature. At the same time, he adds, he has made the entire residence wheelchair accessible. Form, he reminds, always has a function.

The massive fin above the entrance casts a deep shadow inside the house, an altogether discrete and disorienting darkness. Through the still meandering entryway, the shadows vanish to reveal an atrium swollen with sunshine. Light filtered through a massive glass ceiling acts as the primary light source for the house. For Tssui, sustainability was key. Along with lighting, Tssui’s interior structure has made insulation and ventilation maintenance worry-free. Indoor temperatures never fluctuate.

“Year-round, you could wear shorts and a t-shirt with no heating,” he explains. “There are no fans either. And no air conditioning. (The house) is a great prototype for a zero-energy building , although it does require energy for ovens. But for heating and ventilation? Zero.”  To prove his point, he takes a sniff. “See? Mustiness does not exist.”

For an architect with a long career, reception for energy-efficient housing is a social development that is relatively new.

“LEED and energy conservation … none of that was talked about 20 years ago,” he admits. “This (house) is a success given today’s ecological goals and a pioneering effort in that. I am really pleased how everything turned out.”

The living room lies beneath the skylight. Sitting cushions flank a suspended wooden table. Hanging from the ceiling, like strings from an enormous puppet show, steel cables provide support to the atrium.

Each cable is anchored to a section of a massive spiral ramp. In the event of an earthquake, the cables absorb stress from the ramp and reinforce the entire house. Sound familiar? The mechanics were borrowed from the Bay Area’s most enduring icon: the Golden Gate Bridge.

The spiral ramp — also wheelchair accessible — provides access to the residence’s second-story living quarters. Along the path, the interior walls are riddled with orbs of stucco and inter-coiling, tendril-like carvings. Halfway up the ramp, a hemispherical window, like an enormous eyeball, bulges out. Like a silent guardian, Tardigrade House keeps watch over the Berkeley skyline.

In fact, every window in the house is circular. Shape, an often-overlooked component in window design, can be the deciding factor leading to irreparable property damage.  According to Tssui, “One of the things commonly seen after an earthquake is cracks on the windows. This is because square windows cannot take strain and bunches stress at the corners. For (my) windows, forces are taken tangentially around the circles, so there is absolutely no cracking.”  Referring to the window’s submersible semblance, he, for good measure, adds, ” There is no reference to Jules Verne.”

On the second floor, bedrooms are decorated with maritime motifs. Shelves built into the walls have rounded, rippled edges. Carvings of spirals and parabolas crisscross. Squint. Some of the walls contain mica chips. Squint again. They glisten like starlight.

A new dimension of living

Architecture’s many episodes of history, from ancient Greek to art deco, bear little resemblance to the Tardigrade House. For Tssui, today’s challenges must be solved by 21st-century solutions.

“Architects and architecture are frozen in the past,” he said. “But past architecture has not even answered the problems of the past — like disaster situations. Our expectations of architecture (should be) to come up with new answers to very old problems.”

And they must also address quite a few new problems. While the house is prepared to confront short-term natural disasters, it doubles in being eco-friendly and energy-efficient. In a voice bordering on prophetic, Tssui adamantly describes the danger of global warming and environmental pollution.

“We are entering into what we call the ‘era of reckoning’,” he said. “All the mistakes we have created in the past we have to figure out and resolve. We have to take care of these mistakes. The last generation has turned Earth into a garbage dump, and we have to fix this. ”

At 58 years old — or “58 years young,” as Tssui jokes — the architect is remarkably future-conscious. By applying the  principles of modern life science to an ancient profession, Tssui pioneers a new family of architecture. He even has a name for it: the “Biologic Movement.”

“When I first designed this house, I asked, “How would nature design the house with these requirements?’ If you think how nature thinks, you are guaranteed not to destroy the planet.”

The Tardigrade House is located at 2747 Matthews Street in Berkeley, Calif.  This article is part of a series on Eugene Tssui.

Why Are We Here? / Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication / School Calendar

Ships don’t sink because of the water around them; ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don’t let what’s happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.

Why
are we here?
.
Through self-introspection
and reflection,
we can come to realize
the most essential reason for our existence,
is for us to grow
in Love.

Many people
enter our Lives
 and help us to grow 
in Life,
and
in our Love.

Life
will be challenging,
but over time we learn
that the challenges guide us
toward understanding.

Challenges
allow us to gain strength
through Learning and Wisdom,
and come to the realization
that through Forgiveness,
we leave behind the pain
and suffering,
and embrace the Love
within us.
If
we approach Life
with Loving purpose,
we will evolve to continuously reflect
upon our Sacred
Reality.

You know it
when you feel it.

“Purpose” 
will become a Feeling
that the things you do in Life
are worthwhile.
When you have a sense of purpose,
you feel
that you have made
a good choice.

To Live
a purposeful Life,
is more than seeking
achievement and pleasure.
A Life of Loving purpose
is a Life of meaning.

“The Soul
which has no fixed purpose in Life
is lost;
to be everywhere,
is to be nowhere.” 
– Michel de Montaigne

Those of us
with a strong sense of purpose
will Live longer, have healthier Hearts,
and become resilient.

Heartfelt choices
 will make the biggest differences
in the future.
.
When you are struggling
to find what you want to do in Life,
follow the uplifting Pathway
of your Heart,
not the dangerously deep canyons
of the mind.
As a society,
and as very Human Beings,
we would be far more constructive
if we focused our Time
on caring for
and Loving
one another.

As we play
the roles we choose in Life,
let us remember,
we are here to grow
and become the best version
of ourselves.

By choosing
a Loving Pathway to follow,
we make this World
a better place
for everyone,
including and especially
ourselves.

One of the most Beautiful experiences
you can ever have,
is to feel so deeply Human, 
as you become aware of the Beauty
that dwells deep
within your Loving Heart.
.
This knowing,
this feeling,
makes you aware
that Love is pure
Beauty,
and you are pure
Love,
Child of God.
God’s Love
shines brighter
than Day.
.
His Love
will surround you,
as you Trust in Him.
He is ever Present,
in all Time of need
and for Eternity.

He
has the Desire
to Touch your
Soul.

Only Today
is where your story
begins.
Embrace it,
and welcome every moment
 in it.

You
will feel Peaceful and Hopeful
in your Healing
embrace
of Life.  
. 
Beauty is raining down
on our troubled World,
with the Sun
peeking through the clouds,
and Blessing us
with a colorful Rainbow
of Promise.
My Dear Friend,
the options in Life
are endless.
.
You
are not limited to one
of anything.
.
Always remember,
that there is Infinite spaciousness
in Life.
Our Horizons are broad,
and the World is big.
As the Universe
touches your mind
and invites you to be a part of it,
 remember,
your problems are not as big
as you feel them to be
in relation to the Whole Universe.
.
It can be
very comforting
to fundamentally change
 your Philosophical thought processes
on Life
and Living.
Your Dreams
are revealing.
.
They inspire you
to pursue what you
Love,
and fly above
whatever
comes between you
and them.
.. With a fulfilled
Heart,
overflowing with Love,
you will come to know
God has a Greater Purpose
in Life,
and
He wants you
to Fulfill it.

He
allows us to experience Life,
because
He Loves us.
.
The Beauty of God’s Creations,
 especially us,
is vast and overwhelming.
.
And Knowing
we are one,
is a Birthright of every Being
Gifted with Life.

The Beauty
of our Existence
is in knowing that we
were created in Love.
In God’s Love
is a Timeless Meaning of Life
and an Eternal
Existence.

Arriving 
on the Beautiful shores
of Boundless Love,
is a vast Ocean of Pure Love
and Devotion.

We can see within,
 and feel the Inner World
of our Heart.
.
We can
walk in each other’s steps
and feel the waves within,
the waves that echo 
across a vast and empty Universe
of longing feelings
waiting to be heard.
Love
the Beauty of all
of God’s Creations.

Have a Blessed Day,
and Blessed Relationship
with the Lord.
May you feel with His Heart
and see thru His Eyes.

My Prayer for you
is that you grow stronger each day,
and that other people
walk beside you
on this Journey
of Life.
We are all in this
together.
Life is so short
and so amazing.
How Wonderful it is
for God to Create
so many wonderful people,
to Create
you.

Goodnight.

Scientists Achieve Direct Counterfactual Quantum Communication For The First Time

By Fiona MacDonald

click here to read more

(Insspirito/Pixabay)

Quantum communication is a strange beast, but one of the weirdest proposed forms of it is called counterfactual communication – a type of quantum communication where no particles travel between two recipients.

Theoretical physicists have long proposed that such a form of communication would be possible, but now, for the first time, researchers have been able to experimentally achieve it – transferring a black and white bitmap image from one location to another without sending any physical particles.

If that sounds a little too out-there for you, don’t worry, this is quantum mechanics, after all. It’s meant to be complicated. But once you break it down, counterfactual quantum communication actually isn’t as bizarre as it sounds.
First up, let’s talk about how this differs from regular quantum communication, also known as quantum teleportation, because isn’t that also a form of particle-less information transfer?

Well, not quite. Regular quantum teleportation is based on the principle of entanglement – two particles that become inextricably linked so that whatever happens to one will automatically affect the other, no matter how far apart they are.

This is what Einstein referred to as “spooky action at a distance“, and scientists have already used it to send messages over vast distances.

But that form of quantum teleportation still relies on particle transmission in some form or another. The two particles usually need to be together when they’re entangled before being sent to the people on either end of the message (so, they start in one place, and need to be transmitted to another before communication can occur between them).

Alternatively, particles can be entangled at a distance, but it usually requires another particle, such as photons (particles of light), to travel between the two.
Direct counterfactual quantum communication on the other hands relies on something other than quantum entanglement. Instead, it uses a phenomenon called the quantum Zeno effect.

Very simply, the quantum Zeno effect occurs when an unstable quantum system is repeatedly measured.

In the quantum world, whenever you look at a system, or measure it, the system changes. And in this case, unstable particles can never decay while they’re being measured (just like the proverbial watched kettle that will never boil), so the quantum Zeno effect creates a system that’s effectively frozen with a very high probability.

Counterfactual quantum communication is based on this quantum Zeno effect, and is defined as the transfer of a quantum state from one site to another without any quantum or classical particle being transmitted between them.

This requires a quantum channel to run between two sites, which means there’s always a small probability that a quantum particle will cross the channel. If that happens, the system is discarded and a new one is set up.

To set up such a complex system, researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China placed two single-photon detectors in the output ports of the last of an array of beam splitters.
Because of the quantum Zeno effect, the system is frozen in a certain state, so it’s possible to predict which of the detectors would ‘click’ whenever photons passed through. A series of nested interferometers measure the state of the system to make sure it doesn’t change.

It works based on the fact that, in the quantum world, all light particles can be fully described by wave functions, rather than as particles. So by embedding messages in light the researchers were able to transmit this message without ever directly sending a particle.

The team explains that the basic idea for this set up came from holography technology.
“In the 1940s, a new imaging technique – holography – was developed to record not only light intensity but also the phase of light,” the researchers write in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

“One may then pose the question: Can the phase of light itself be used for imaging? The answer is yes.”

The basic idea is this – someone wants to send an image to Alice using only light (which acts as a wave, not a particle, in the quantum realm).

Alice transfers a single photon to the nested interferometer, where it can be detected by three single-photon detectors: D₀, D₁, and D_f.

If D₀ or D₁ ‘click’, Alice can conclude a logic result of one or zero. If D_f clicks, the result is considered inconclusive.
As Christopher Packham explains for Phys.org:

“After the communication of all bits, the researchers were able to reassemble the image – a monochrome bitmap of a Chinese knot. Black pixels were defined as logic 0, while white pixels were defined as logic 1 …

In the experiment, the phase of light itself became the carrier of information, and the intensity of the light was irrelevant to the experiment.”

Not only is this a big step forward for quantum communication, the team explains it’s technology that could also be used for imaging sensitive ancient artefacts that couldn’t survive direct light shined on them.
The results will now need to be verified by external researchers to make sure what the researchers saw was a true example of counterfactual quantum communication.

Either way, it’s a pretty cool demonstration of just how bizarre and unexplored the quantum world is.

The research has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Every Grain of Sand / God Gave Us Proof of His Existence and Love / School Calendar.

With Prayer,
God will tenderly Lift you up,
and Guide you through
exquisite Harmonies
and into the Radiance of the
Divine.

Communion
with God,
offers us a glimpse
into Another World,
far
from our troubled reality.

.P Prayer
stirs the Soul
and tugs at the Heart.
It awakens us,
and gives us a depth of awareness,
to envision our Ancestors
singing softly across the Centuries.
.
Someday,
 you can visit the place
where your Life
was Lived,
by those who came
before you.

The tragic circumstances
of our fragile Lives,
gives cause for such a wide range
  of emotions
Created within us.

And we
destroy so much,
yet are capable of such
unbelievable Beauty.

Trust your Heart.
Trust the Beauty
that God Bestows.
.
Trust in Love.
.
Think of all the things
that make you Happy
in Life.
Think
of all those who Believe
in you.
.
Yes,
there are many
Blessings in Life,
and you are one.

The narration
of Life and Living,
can make us feel
alone and helpless.

But Love
plays the most important role
in the Poetry of Existence,
because it shows us
the deeper meaning
of our Lives.

The Love
of God
gives us renewal,
and rebirth.

The Holy Spirit
dwells within us
by Divine Will.
.
As you stand with your arms outstretched,
looking up into the Face
of God,
His Love will be Showering Down
upon you,
like warm rain,
Refreshing and Soothing,
Cleansing and Healing.

Without words,
our Lord will Speak to you
through the Heart.

As we Pray,
the Veil is parted between
Earth and Paradise,
and we come to realize
how much we are
Loved.

Let
the Holy Spirit
enter your mind
and awaken His Gifts
within you.
The Will of God
will permeate your precious Being
and Reside within you.

A tiny glimpse
of what Heaven will be like,
will be yours.

Love
 enables us to reflect
upon the True Meaning of Life.

My Dear Friend,
Unconditional Love
is rare and pure.
It is full of Kindness, Tenderness
and is totally without
condition.
.
Such Love
makes a far better World
for everyone,
emulating the Love
of the Incredible
Creation
that you are.

 I Pray
the Day comes
when you feel that you are
at Peace with yourself.
May your precious Life
be filled with
Love.

Goodnight.

from Sparrow L

God gave us proof of his existence – and His Love – in the Bible. Yes, Faith is required, but He helps anyone who asks with that, and gives us his Living Word, besides.

 

A little proof:

 

1. Job 38:7 references the fact that the stars “sing,” which was unknown at the time the Bible was written. Scientists now know that the stars sing at a frequency that the Human ear cannot pick up.

 

2. Job 38:31-32 In these verses God is telling Job the things he can, and does, do, by providing examples:    – “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades…” Scientists now know that Pleiades is a group of 250 stars bound together by by mutual gravitational attraction, traveling together in the same direction. -“…or loose the bands of Orion?…” Modern instruments showed scientists and astronomers that the 3 star “belt” of *Orion is, over the course of thousands of years, drifting slowly apart, and will one day no longer be aligned. “Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?” Mazzaroth is the hebrew word for “constellations,” which were made by God for “signs” and “seasons,” because God knew that Humans would use the accuracy of the night sky to measure time and distance.“

 

“Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?” Scientists discovered that Arcturus, which appears to the unaided eye to be a single star, is actually one star with 52 additional stars (or sons) connected directionally, and traveling as if a hand guided them through the Heavens. This group travels so fast, breaking all the rules of physics, that scientists call them a “law unto themselves.”

3. Job 38:30  “The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.” Did you know that 3 quarters of earth’s water is locked underground in a layer of ice and rock? Because scientists only discovered that recently, in spite of the Bible recording this fact thousands of years ago.

 

4. In Revelation 21:19 The 12 foundation stones, or gems, of New Jerusalem are listed, and every one is anisotropic. That means they produce a rainbow-colored array when scientists hit them with polarized (pure) light. Isotropic gems (like diamonds), however, only look black under the same light. Out of the 28 stones generally regarded as gems, only 16 of them are anistropic – the chance of randomly selecting those 12 gems in Revelation are 1 in a 1000. “…and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.” Rev. 4:3 5.

5. Genesis 2:7 says God formed men from the dust of the ground. Researchers at NASA’s Ames research center confirmed that every element in man can be found in the soil.

 

6. Genesis 17:12 commands specifically that male babies be circumcised on the 8th day. Doctors now know that for the first 7 days of life, an infant’s blood will not clot properly, but on the 8th day their prothrombin levels are elevated above one hundred percent of normal, and is the ONLY day in a male’s life that this will be the case. It is literally the ideal day to heal from the procedure.

7. Numerous verses in the Bible direct God’s people to wash their hands in RUNNING water, to quarantine sick individuals and have them wear a face covering (mask), and disinfect their clothing. He directed his people to bury their bodily wastes away from camp, throw away clay pots that touched dead things (clay pots can absorb pathogens), avoid unclean animals (the eating of which caused diseases. Ex. monkeys caused AIDS, rodents the plague, pigs the flu and tapeworms, and bats the covid virus), and never to eat animals that died of natural causes. This is all before the existence of germs was even heard of! During the time it was written, Human and animal feces were used as a common cure-all for diseases, and lizard blood and dead mice were used in healing ointments. Yet the Bible was teaching practices far ahead of its time and contrary to the popular “medicine” in use.

8. Amos 9:6 details how God calls forth the waters of the sea and pours them out again on the earth. Yet the water cycle of evaporation, vapor rising and becoming clouds, falling, and making its way back to the ocean wasn’t discovered until 300 years ago by Galileo.

 

9. Job 26:7 says the earth is hung upon nothing, and Isaiah 40:22 calls the earth a circle. This was written centuries before these facts were proven, and in fact most of the earth at that time believed that the World was a flat disc that sat upon a turtle’s back, or the shoulders of the God Atlas.

10. The “Father of oceanography” Matthew Maury read the expression “paths of the sea” in Psalms and went out to look for them, leading to the discovery of cold and warm continental currents. The Bible also talks about the existence of deep channels and fountains in the seas, which scientists were only able to discover in the past few hundred years with modern technology.

 

11. Names, places, peoples, and events that were recorded ONLY in the Bible, and speculated by some to be made up, have slowly been corroborated by archeological evidence, especially in the last few hundred years. Read “A Christian’s Guide to Evidence for the Bible” by J. Daniel Hays for 101 instances in which show how extremely historically accurate the Bible really is.

12. Ezekiel 26:4 foretold that the city of Tyre would be destroyed and scraped flat, and made into a desolate place where fishermen would spread their nets on, and that her timber and stones and dust would be laid in the midst of the water. Nebuchadnezzar did conquer the city, and when the inhabitants fled to a nearby island, he destroyed the city in a rage. 250 years later Alexander the Great scraped those same ruins flat, using them to build a causeway in the middle of the sea in order to reach the new island city of Tyre who resisted his attempts to conquer them. This is only one of many detailed prophecies fulfilled in the Bible.

13. There’s a reason “Light” is mentioned so many times in the Bible.

 

Life and Light are often correlated in the Bible, like in Ephesians 5:14 “Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee LIGHT.” Scientists recently discovered that a flash of light sparks at the very moment a Human sperm cell makes contact with an egg. Just like the passage above says, the moment Life comes into existence is marked by Light!

 

What’s even more incredible is the fact that some eggs burn brighter than others, which is a direct indication of their ability to develop into a healthy embryo, a team from Northwestern University found. The brighter the light, the stronger the health. Isaiah 58:8 “Then shall thy LIGHT break forth as the morning, and thine HEALTH shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the Glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.”

Ever wonder why so many Bible verses talk about Godly people’s faces/countenances shining, as in Exodus 34:30 “So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his FACE SHONE, and they were afraid to come near him.” It has been known for many years that all living creatures produce a small amount of light as a result of chemical reactions within their cells, but Japanese scientists captured the first ever images of Human “bioluminescence.” The Light is a thousand times weaker than the Human eye can perceive. In the online journal PLoS ONE, researchers describe how they imaged volunteers’ upper bodies using ultra-sensitive cameras over a period of several days. Their results show that the amount of light emitted follows a 24-hour cycle, at its highest in late afternoon and lowest late at night, and that the brightest light is emitted from the CHEEKS, FOREHEAD and NECK. Strangely, the areas that produced the brightest light did not correspond with the brightest areas on thermal images of the volunteers’ bodies. 

Genesis 1:2-3 “And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” Physicists in England claim they’ve discovered how to create matter from light
(Steven Rose and Oliver Pike), by smashing
together individual massless photons – a feat
that was theorized in 1934, and has been
considered practically impossible until now.

 

In 1934 physicists Breit and Wheeler proposed that two photons could be smashed together to produce an electron and positron – in other words, that Light can be converted into matter, and vice versa. It’s believed that the Big Bang itself – during the first 100 seconds of the creation of the Universe – would’ve played host to these photon-photon collisons. After reading this, doesn’t it seem possible that when God said “Let there be Light,” he made more than just Light, but matter also? He gave form to the massless void with a burst of Light, in mere seconds creating the building blocks of Life.

A proper study of the Bible will reveal so much more proof. Open your KJV Bible, and utilize youtube vids like Walter Veith‘s Total Onslaught Series and The Genesis Conflict, and Imad Awde or Nader Mansour‘s studies. Ellen White‘s The Conflict of the Ages books can be read online for free, as well as Uriah Smith‘s Daniel and the Revelation.

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched –
they must be felt with the Heart.”

You Can Be Happy / 7 Steps to Becoming a Happier Person / School Calendar

Happiness 
is a state of
mind.
You can be Happy.
Be a Friend,
to yourself.
.
Only you
Truly
know yourself.

We
are capable of anything
our mind can think of.
If it is there,
it is possible.

You
are  the center
of your Universe.

“Reality is created by the mind.
We can change our reality
by changing our mind.”
–  Plato
Your brain
predicts
what any something
should be like,
then it generates a
vision,
based on the prediction.
It is this vision
that is experienced as the
real World.

.The mental reconstruction
of reality
is vivid, substantial and perceived
to be located in external objective space.
It becomes the brain’s
“model”
of the World.

Yes,
you are strong. 
You can do anything
you want.
.
Trust
in yourself.
And set your goal
to be Happy.
.
Do whatever it takes
to achieve Happiness.
Believe
in yourself,
and Love yourself.

 We 
can be Happy,
anywhere we are.
We do not need anyone’s
approval.

Let other people
be part of Life ‘s Journey,
but not the
destination.

Happiness
is always in your Hands.
It is
a state of mind.
Be a Friend,
a Best Friend,
to yourself.

 Let
no one
make you believe
otherwise.

We 
are capable of anything
our mind can think of.

You are
the possible.

So,
be Happy.
Become
your Dreams.
Believe
in Love,
and you will
Love,
Life.

Open the Door
to another Dimension. 
Life
is full of Light and Joy.
.
Brighten the darkness
all around.
With Smiles that
abound,
and many a cheerful
sound,
you will Light up
the Day.

Goodnight.

Choosing To Be Happy

Strategies for Happiness: 7 Steps to Becoming a Happier Person

Written by Tom Valeo

Medically Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD on March 04, 2010

A popular greeting card attributes this quote to Henry David Thoreau: “Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.”

With all due respect to the author of Walden, that just isn’t so, according to a growing number of psychologists. You can choose to be happy, they say. You can chase down that elusive butterfly and get it to sit on your shoulder. How? In part, by simply making the effort to monitor the workings of your mind.

Research has shown that your talent for happiness is, to a large degree, determined by your genes. Psychology professor David T. Lykken, author of Happiness: Its Nature and Nurture, says that “trying to be happier is like trying to be taller.” We each have a “happiness set point,” he argues, and move away from it only slightly.

And yet, psychologists who study happiness — including Lykken — believe we can pursue happiness. We can do this by thwarting negative emotions such as pessimism, resentment, and anger. And we can foster positive emotions, such as empathy, serenity, and especially gratitude.

Happiness Strategy # 1: Don’t Worry, Choose Happy

The first step, however, is to make a conscious choice to boost your happiness. In his book, The Conquest of Happiness, published in 1930, the philosopher Bertrand Russell had this to say: “Happiness is not, except in very rare cases, something that drops into the mouth, like a ripe fruit. … Happiness must be, for most men and women, an achievement rather than a gift of the gods, and in this achievement, effort, both inward and outward, must play a great part.”

Today, psychologists who study happiness heartily agree. The intention to be happy is the first of The 9 Choices of Happy People listed by authors Rick Foster and Greg Hicks in their book of the same name.

“Intention is the active desire and commitment to be happy,” they write. “It’s the decision to consciously choose attitudes and behaviors that lead to happiness over unhappiness.”

Tom G. Stevens, PhD, titled his book with the bold assertion, You Can Choose to Be Happy. “Choose to make happiness a top goal,” Stevens tells WebMD. “Choose to take advantage of opportunities to learn how to be happy. For example, reprogram your beliefs and values. Learn good self-management skills, good interpersonal skills, and good career-related skills. Choose to be in environments and around people that increase your probability of happiness. The persons who become the happiest and grow the most are those who also make truth and their own personal growth primary values.”

In short, we may be born with a happiness “set point,” as Lykken calls it, but we are not stuck there. Happiness also depends on how we manage our emotions and our relationships with others.

Jon Haidt, author of The Happiness Hypothesis, teaches positive psychology. He actually assigns his students to make themselves happier during the semester.

“They have to say exactly what technique they will use,” says Haidt, a professor at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville. “They may choose to be more forgiving or more grateful. They may learn to identify negative thoughts so they can challenge them. For example, when someone crosses you, in your mind you build a case against that person, but that’s very damaging to relationships. So they may learn to shut up their inner lawyer and stop building these cases against people.”

Once you’ve decided to be happier, you can choose strategies for achieving happiness. Psychologists who study happiness tend to agree on ones like these.

Happiness Strategy #2: Cultivate Gratitude

In his book, Authentic Happiness, University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin Seligman encourages readers to perform a daily “gratitude exercise.” It involves listing a few things that make them grateful. This shifts people away from bitterness and despair, he says, and promotes happiness.

Happiness Strategy #3: Foster Forgiveness

Holding a grudge and nursing grievances can affect physical as well as mental health, according to a rapidly growing body of research. One way to curtail these kinds of feelings is to foster forgiveness. This reduces the power of bad events to create bitterness and resentment, say Michael McCullough and Robert Emmons, happiness researchers who edited The Psychology of Happiness.

In his book, Five Steps to Forgiveness, clinical psychologist Everett Worthington Jr. offers a 5-step process he calls REACH. First, recall the hurt. Then empathize and try to understand the act from the perpetrator’s point of view. Be altruistic by recalling a time in your life when you were forgiven. Commit to putting your forgiveness into words. You can do this either in a letter to the person you’re forgiving or in your journal. Finally, try to hold on to the forgiveness. Don’t dwell on your anger, hurt, and desire for vengeance.

The alternative to forgiveness is mulling over a transgression. This is a form of chronic stress, says Worthington.

“Rumination is the mental health bad boy,” Worthington tells WebMD. “It’s associated with almost everything bad in the mental health field — obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety — probably hives, too.”

Happiness Strategy #4: Counteract Negative Thoughts and Feelings

As Jon Haidt puts it, improve your mental hygiene. In The Happiness Hypothesis, Haidt compares the mind to a man riding an elephant. The elephant represents the powerful thoughts and feelings — mostly unconscious — that drive your behavior. The man, although much weaker, can exert control over the elephant, just as you can exert control over negative thoughts and feelings.

“The key is a commitment to doing the things necessary to retrain the elephant,” Haidt says. “And the evidence suggests there’s a lot you can do. It just takes work.”

For example, you can practice meditation, rhythmic breathing, yoga, or relaxation techniques to quell anxiety and promote serenity. You can learn to recognize and challenge thoughts you have about being inadequate and helpless.

“If you learn techniques for identifying negative thoughts, then it’s easier to challenge them,” Haidt said. “Sometimes just reading David Burns‘ book, Feeling Good, can have a positive effect.”

Happiness Strategy #5: Remember, Money Can’t Buy Happiness

Research shows that once income climbs above the poverty level, more money brings very little extra happiness. Yet, “we keep assuming that because things aren’t bringing us happiness, they’re the wrong things, rather than recognizing that the pursuit itself is futile,” writes Daniel Gilbert in his book, Stumbling on Happiness. “Regardless of what we achieve in the pursuit of stuff, it’s never going to bring about an enduring state of happiness.”

Happiness Strategy #6: Foster Friendship

There are few better antidotes to unhappiness than close friendships with people who care about you, says David G. Myers, author of The Pursuit of Happiness. One Australian study found that people over 70 who had the strongest network of friends lived much longer.

“Sadly, our increasingly individualistic society suffers from impoverished social connections, which some psychologists believe is a cause of today’s epidemic levels of depression,” Myers writes. “The social ties that bind also provide support in difficult times.”

Happiness Strategy #7: Engage in Meaningful Activities

People are seldom happier, says psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, than when they’re in the “flow.” This is a state in which your mind becomes thoroughly absorbed in a meaningful task that challenges your abilities. Yet, he has found that the most common leisure time activity — watching TV — produces some of the lowest levels of happiness.

To get more out of life, we need to put more into it, says Csikszentmihalyi. “Active leisure that helps a person grow does not come easily,” he writes in Finding Flow. “Each of the flow-producing activities requires an initial investment of attention before it begins to be enjoyable.”

So it turns out that happiness can be a matter of choice — not just luck. Some people are lucky enough to possess genes that foster happiness. However, certain thought patterns and interpersonal skills definitely help people become an “epicure of experience,” says David Lykken, whose name, in Norwegian, means “the happiness.”

“The foolish man
seeks happiness in the distance,
the wise grows it under his feet.”
– James Oppenheim

Purity, Kindness and Love / The Simplicity of Happiness / School Calendar .

The Beauty
of this Earth
tugs at the Strings
of our Heart,
and lifts up the Soul
to Love God.

It is moments
of Sacred Awareness
 that make us strong,
and make us want to be
the better person
that deep inside
we Truly are.

When we consider
the Beautiful Things
God has Created for our World,
let us not forget
the Beautiful Treasure
of your precious
Life.

If you want to get closer
to the Love of our Lord,
 let the Beauty of this World
into your Heart.
These Treasures
have been given to
you,
by our Sacred Lord.

They are
an Expression
of His Divine Love
to you.
.
“He clothes the Lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky,
And He will feed those who Trust Him,
And Guide them with His Eye.“
– Roger Hoffman

We
can do no better,
than to let them
into our Heart,
and into our
Soul.

The Beautiful
and Enchanting World
of God’s Natural Gifts,
lifts us up and brings us down,
gently and slowly.

It is most inspiring
for self Healing.
As you walk
in His Nature,
look to the Light,
and there you are.
You
are so Beautiful.
.
It is
your Love
that is so Beautiful.
It is
your Light
that shines in the Hearts
of others.

They see you.
.
They
are listening to the Treasures
of your deep feelings,
your Love
for them,
and others.

You are not
alone.
You are deeply
Loved.
  We
are all Blessed
by the Love of God,
found in every leaf
of every Tree,
in every blade of grass,
and every Flower
that is
or ever will be.
.
Live your Life
to the fullest,
by
sharing your Love
with everyone.
Not everyone
had the opportunity
to wake from their sleep
this morning.
The mere fact
that you can witness this Beautiful day
is a Sacred Sign,
that you have been abundantly
Blessed.

 Pray
and give Thanks,
that regardless of the circumstances
of Life,
or what the rest of Life
will be,
God has expressed His Love
so Beautifully.

Our deepest Love,
and our Generosity in giving
our purest Love and our Blessings
to all others in our World,
whomever they may be,
will lead us
to a Truly Happy
Life.
.
How wonderful
our exquisitely Beautiful planet
would be,
if all persons here
achieved a level of Purity,
Kindness and Love
that our Lord
wants us to achieve.

Goodnight.

The Simplicity of Happiness
click here to read more

 Amid our quest for Happiness, our busy schedules can leave us going through the motions and not really enjoying daily life. Happiness, however, does not have to be a complicated or difficult state to achieve or feel. Finding pleasure in simple things every day while taking in our surroundings can help us find moments of simplicity and, ultimately, moments of Happiness. Below are ways to enjoy the simplicity of Happiness.

Smile more

Even though you may not feel like showing your pearly whites, a Smile instantly makes you feel better. Turning up the corners of your lips, even when you don’t feel like smiling, will brighten your mood and remind you of what Happiness is supposed to feel like. Not only will you feel better, but giving someone a smile will make them feel better too, and this smile becomes infectious.

Spend some time alone

Being caught up in work and family commitments can leave you drained and bored. Spending time alone, therefore, is important to your overall mental health. “Me time” gives you time to de-stress, time to re-evaluate your goals and priorities in life and time to regain a zest for Life. Finding simple pleasures while being alone can be as simple as sipping your favorite cup of tea while reading a good book, sketching or taking a walk.

Do something nice for someone

If you’ve ever heard of the concept “pay it forward,” you’ll know that if you were on the receiving end of a good deed, then repaying a good deed by doing a good deed for someone else is a great idea. Whether it’s paying for a stranger’s cup of coffee in the morning lineup or volunteering to help a friend or family member with something they’ve needed help with, doing something nice for someone else may not be completely selfless, but it’s a simple way to feel better. Feeling productive and helpful will make your day as well as someone else’s. So go ahead, pay it forward and hopefully these kind acts will also become infectious.

Keep a happy list

One week, I recorded everything that made me Happy. These things were as simple as good coffee and a good conversation, peanut butter and someone playing with my hair. What I realized is that everything that made me happy was so simple and not materialistic. Try keeping a “Happy list” by recording things that make you Happy throughout your day for a week or two. Aim to record at least two or three things a day, and see what you come up with. Keeping this Happy list handy will remind you of simple ways to be Happy, even on your bad days.

Live in the moment

Corita Kent once wrote, “Life is a succession of moments. To Live each one is to succeed.” This is definitely true when it comes to Happiness. We all worry about the future or are stuck on relationships or problems from the past, but Living in the present moments and fully taking in these moments allow us to enjoy each day as much as possible.

We can find Happiness during whatever overwhelming situations we may be facing by simply taking a deep breath and refocusing our minds on what’s happening around us in a specific moment. This allows us to really feel and sense pleasant things that we may have missed in our busy daily lives.

Ever You Dreamed Of / A New Dimension to a Meaningful Life / School Calendar

Prayers
  really are magical.
I Pray
that you are receiving that magic,
and that your Life
is in a place of
contentment.

Prayer
will relax the mind,
and provide more insight,
more compassion
and more positive intentions.

 To find answers
for the unending problems in Life,
look in the Bible. 
The Holy Word of God
uses thoughtful stories and illustrations
from people in History,
to show our need
for Faith.
.
It guides us
through the essential questions
in Life,
and leads to reasonable and compelling
conclusions.

 You 
can Live your Life
a changed Person,
and Live a Truly
Great experience.

Your Precious Life
can
become the most Beautiful and moving 
ever you Dreamed of.

Spend a few moments
touring
around the Beautiful and Creative
Mind
you have been so Blessed with.

Feel
the Beat
of your own Sacred Heart,
as your eyes
walk around the ruins
of the physical World
inherited
by greed, and hatred
and sin.

Prayer
will transport you
to another Time
and place.

Love,
and Love alone,
will move you
to a Sacred Place
in your Heart.
.
Your Love
will play the most integral part
in Life.

Giving Love,
is as critical
as receiving it
in our quest for Happiness.

Your Love
will lift your Spirit
above all things
ever found.
.
Love
is the Masterpiece 
of God’s Creation,
in an ageless place
of Peace and reflection.
.
The Love in your
Heart,
is what Mankind
is capable of doing 
for others.
And it is
beyond description.

Prayer
is an astonishing Place,
that touches the Heart,
where your Dreams
are Real
and you discover
the Reality of
Love.

There is a Dream,
that is you.
And you
can Dream it.
.
The material World
can make it vanish.
It is so fragile,
that it may not
survive.

“What we do in Life,
echoes in Eternity.”
– Maximus Meridius

With chaos happening
all around,
we need relaxing, meditative 
Prayer.
Giving the Spiritual Dimension
in our Time,
makes Life even more special
and relevant.

Our moment with God
brings the feeling of warmth,
Love
and Peace.

As we reminisce
about the Happy moments
we have had,
and Thank God for having them,
 we bring them Alive
again.

Our childhood memories
were the Happiest time
of Life.

Go back
to these days.

Become
a Child again.
.
Nothing compares
to the Joy of being
a Child
of God.

Goodnight.

A New Dimension to a Meaningful Life

Studies suggest that appreciating beauty in the everyday may be just as powerful as a sense of overarching purpose.

When we think about lives filled with meaning, we often focus on people whose grand contributions benefited humanity. Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Nelson Mandela surely felt they had a worthwhile Life. But how about us ordinary people, toiling away in a typical existence?

Many scholars agree that a subjectively meaningful existence often boils down to three factors: the feeling that one’s life is coherent and “makes sense,” the possession of clear and satisfying long-term goals and the belief that one’s Life matters in the grand scheme of things. Psychologists call these three things coherence, purpose and existential mattering.

But we believe there is another element to consider. Think about the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or imagine the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may enhance how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation. The phenomenon reflects the feeling of a deep connection to events as they transpire and the ability to extract value from that link. It represents the detection of and admiration for Life’s inherent Beauty.

We recently set out to better understand this form of appreciation in a series of studies, published in Nature Human Behaviour, that involved more than 3,000 participants. Across these studies, we were interested in whether experiential appreciation was related to a person’s sense of meaning even when we accounted for the effects of the classic trio of coherence, purpose and existential mattering. If so, experiential appreciation could be a unique contributor to meaningfulness and not simply a product of these other variables.

As an initial test of our idea, during the early stages of the COVID pandemic, we had participants rate their endorsement of different coping strategies to relieve their stress. We found that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for Life’s Beauty also reported experiencing Life as highly meaningful.

In the next study, we asked participants to rate the extent to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” and “I appreciate a wide variety of experiences,” as well as other statements that related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering and a general sense of meaning in life.

Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their existence was valuable. In fact, these two elements related strongly to each other even when we controlled for other aspects of a meaningful life. In subsequent studies, we further explored the connection between these concepts. For example, we found that participants asked to recall the most meaningful event of the past week generally reported high experiential appreciation in those moments.

Finally, we conducted a series of experiments in which we gave people specific tasks and, once more, asked them to report how strongly they identified with statements linked to purpose, mattering, et cetera.

In one case, we found that participants who watched an awe-inspiring video, such as the opening sequence of the BBC documentary Planet Earth, reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life, compared with participants who watched more neutral videos, such as an instructional woodworking video.

Similarly, participants who wrote about a recent experience for which they were grateful had a greater sense of meaning and experiential appreciation afterward when compared with participants who simply wrote about a common place they had visited in the past week.

The results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make Life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented lifestyles fill the day with targets and goals. We are on the go, and we attempt to maximize output both at work and at leisure. This focus on future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet Life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let Life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday.

As former Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru wrote in 1950, “We live in a wonderful world…. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

The Rare Somewhere of Your Heart / Reality Isn’t What We Think It Is / School Calendar

Despite all the terrible things
that are happening in our World,
there is still so much Beauty
to be found
every day.

There is Beauty
in the Bible.
The Words of our Lord
are spelled with
Love Letters
to you.

And God
has Created a Natural World
that is so enchanting, Beautiful, relaxing
and calming,
for you.

It is
Truly helpful
to walk down the path of Life,
the real path through
Nature,
remembering the Happy moments,
and the unbelievable Beauty
that God provides
in His World
of rolling hills,
and Beautiful Billowing Clouds
and countless Flowers
and Birds
and Trees.

Nature
is God’s World.

Yes,
there is another World,
the World in which
your ancestors Lived,
and breathed and Loved
and survived,
and longed to be.

It is not far away.
But it has become
like a Dream,
the hidden place called
Nature,
where we instinctively want
to be.
.
It is where we see
the most Beautiful things,
where we can rest
our weary minds
and try to forget
the illusions of Life,
that were never meant
to be.

It touches our Hearts
to realize
just how much
God Loves us.

You
will never forget
the feeling of awe and wonder,
that comes from the awareness
of such Love,
as the Love
of God.
.
 You will be ascended
out
of a dark place
filled with shadows of doubt,
and into the Rare
Somewhere of your Heart.

We hang suspended
in the haunting shade
of our own shadows,
until the moment of Discovery
that
God is Alive
and He Lives in our
Hearts.
.
It makes people rethink
reality,
to finally know
the Beautiful and effortless simplicity
that
Life can be.

“In my fantasy
I see a just World
where everyone lives in Peace and Honesty.
I dream of Souls that are always free
Like a cloud that floats
Full of Humanity
in the depths of the Soul.
In my fantasy I see a bright World
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of Souls that are always free
Like the cloud that floats.
In my fantasy exists a warm wind
That breathes into the city, like a Friend.
I dream of Souls that are always free
Like the cloud that floats
Full of Humanity in the depths of the
Soul.”
– Ennio Morricone

Humanity
can do anything.
.
We
carry something in our
Divine Spirit and Origin,
filled with Hope 
for every Tomorrow.

The Gift of Life
is precious beyond worth,
and we should Live it
by coming Truly Alive
with deep Gratitude
in our Heart.

Our World
is very Lovely,
and much like Dreaming.
It is like a breeze
caressing a wide open meadow
and the forests and streams
in the True Nature
of our Being.

Let us become aware
 of the simple fact
that God is Love,
and so are you,
Child of God.

The whole World
is filled with Miracles.
Every Child,
all animals, birds, little insects
and even the smallest cells
we cannot even see.
.
And you,
Child of God,
are the Greatest Miracle
to ever be.

Let us Pray, 
and ask our Father in Heaven
to help us fight our greatest enemy,
ourselves.

Throughout History,
Humanity has shown the strength
and the determination,
to continue the fight for
survival.
.
And with Faith
in our Savior,
our Lord,
it will always be.

My Dear Friends,
to be surrounded by the Beauty
of GOD,
fills the Heart with Joy
and rejuvenates the
Soul.
.
Open
your eyes.
Open your Heart.
His Love
is everywhere,
in every Leaf
of every Tree,
in every blade of Grass,
and in everything
that is,
or ever will be.

Our way of Life 
can be Tranquil
and filled with inner Peace.
.
The choice
is ours,
and it will always
be.

.His Love is in
YOU,
and His Love will always
be..

Reality
is not what we think
it is.
.
It is
what God Thinks
it to be.
He
made you
and me.

Life
presents us with emotions
that transport us far away,
where we walk down pathways
filled with sensations
that are not from the
Heart.
.
And as we harvest
these feelings,
they make us cry,
make us weep,
and we get very little
sleep.

There is 
an incredible price
to pay,
for feeling all alone.

So let us remember,
the purpose of Life
is to
“Love one another as yourself.”
For everyone is yourself.
.
We
are all connected.
We are all the same
primordial energy.
We are one. 

We can feel
alone.
But we are never
alone.

Our Creator
is Closer to us
than we think,
or Know.
.
He Lives
Within.
He is the Love
in our Hearts.

Spiritual Medicine
can result from Prayer,
that lets you feel
like you are somewhere new
but somewhere familiar,
at the same time.
.
Yes,
we can be
in two places
at the same Time.

“When the Fantasy bells
Of the Universe ring,
You can fly through the sky
On a Dragonfly’s wing.
There is magic within.
There is magic without.
Follow me and you’ll learn
Just what Life’s all about
Just what Life’s all about.”
– Michael Junior

The need to be Loved
screams from every fiber
of our Being.
.
And the Voice
of God
quietly Proclaims:
“I Am Love”.

We are here
to give and receive
Love.

Goodnight.

Reality Isn’t What We Think It Is
by

Research2Reality (R2R)
shines a spotlight on world-class scientists engaged in innovative & leading-edge research in Canada. We celebrate the success & impact of researchers who are shaping the new frontiers of science.
.

Newton’s laws were a good start, but quantum mechanics is now providing a mind-boggling glimpse at the building blocks of existence.

For molecules and atoms, it’s perfectly possible to be in two places at once. The field of quantum mechanics describes these very small systems, and shows us how the rules of nature can be vastly different from our everyday experiences.

“[Quantum mechanics] is changing the way we view reality. Today we think of objects as being here or there. In a quantum world, objects can be here and there at the same time. The nature itself of reality is changing in the quantum world.”

Raymond Laflamme, quantum physics researcher and Executive Director of the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, explains that we typically think about things being either here or there, but quantum mechanics teaches us that things can be both here and there at the same time.

“The world behaves in certain ways, and since we’ve been born, we’ve been used to trying to understand some behavior of the world – try to control it, try to turn it into technology,” says Laflamme. “When we go to very small systems – the size of atoms, molecules, the kind of fundamental blocks of nature – the rules of nature change.”

This may seem like science fiction, but there are many real world applications of quantum behavior all around you.

Laflamme explains that understanding the special properties of systems at the atomic level allows us not only to predict quantum behavior, but also to control it to create new technologies. The computers we have today store information using bits, and these basic units of information can have one of two values: 0 or 1. By storing information as bits with values of 0 and 1, quantum computers gain speed and capacity.

This opens up the potential to manipulate and control all kinds of devices, from simple thermostats to lasers, making them more sensitive and precise than ever.

“We have a family of technologies which seem to be mind-boggling compared to [the devices] we have today,” adds Laflamme.

“But there is another implication – maybe more profound – it is changing the way that we view reality.”

And today, we are the place where the ideas, the lab experiments, are turning into devices that can reach the market and can affect all of you. And this is happening a lot faster than when we thought.”

---

Prof. Raymond Laflamme is originally from Québec City, where he studied Physics as an undergraduate at the Université Laval. After surviving Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge, he completed his PhD on aspects of general relativity and quantum cosmology in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) under the direction of Stephen Hawking. Prof. Laflamme and his colleague Don Page are responsible for having changed Hawking’s mind on the reversal of the direction of time in a contracting universe (see Hawking’s book, A Brief History of Time). From 1988-1992, Prof. Laflamme held a Killam post-doctoral fellowship at UBC, and a post-doctoral fellowship at Peterhouse College, University of Cambridge. From 1992-2001, Prof. Laflamme worked as a research scientist at Los Alamos Research Laboratory, where his interests shifted from cosmology to quantum computing. Since the mid-1990’s, Prof. Laflamme has developed theoretical approaches to quantum error correction, and has given experimental demonstrations of these techniques. In collaboration with Emmanuel Knill, Prof. Laflamme gave conditions for quantum error correcting codes, and established the fault-tolerance threshold, thereby showing that quantum computing systems could be practically useful. He went on to perform the first experimental demonstration of quantum error correction. With colleagues, he has developed a blueprint for a quantum information processor using linear optics, and devised and implemented new methods to make quantum information robust against corruption in both cryptographic and computational settings. In 2001, Laflamme returned to Canada as the founding Director of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), and as a founding member of the Perimeter Institute For Theoretical Physics. Prof. Laflamme was the Scientific Director of QuantumWorks (2000-2011), and has been Director of the Quantum Information Program at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR) since 2003, and a CIFAR Fellow since 2001. Prof. Laflamme holds the Canada Research Chair in Quantum Information, and is a Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Waterloo. Prof. Laflamme’s group holds the world record for the largest number of quantum bits manipulated using universal control.
