Another 90s pic

I found this pic wedged between two books in my bookshelf, taken during the 90s at a neighborhood branch of the Ottawa Public library. I didn’t have internet access in my apartment during my Ph.D. studies. And soon after graduating, I was unplugged from the university computer room.  So I migrated to OPL.

Was on a tight student budget and lost quite a bit of weight back then!

Review – Finding God: The Enlightenment (DVD 2 of 3)

Title: Finding God: The Enlightenment – Disc 2
Genre: Body Mind Spirit, Religion, Meta-Physics
Production Company: Reality Films

(Review for Disc 1 is here; Disc 3 is here)

Philip Gardiner’s Finding God: The Enlightenment is a three DVD set including Quantum Mind of God, Science of Soul, and Ancient Code.

Disc 2, Science of Soul: The End-Time Solar Cycle of Chaos in 2012 A.D., asks whether the year 2012 will bring about a quantum leap of consciousness or possibly a global nightmare.

Closely following Dr. John Jay Harper’s book Tranceformers: Shamans of the 21st Century, Science of Soul explores these and other compelling questions.

The film’s innovative graphics and haunting soundtrack set the mood for a detailed examination of the mythic symbol of the axis mundi (world axis). Also, possible links among DNA, psi and global transformation are investigated.

Those sympathetic to the philosophy of natural pantheism, where the universe is taken to be God and therefore conscious, will find much in this DVD to support their beliefs. Meanwhile, believers in theism (where God is conceptualized as ‘wholly other’ from Creation) might bristle a bit at its unabashed syncretism.

Regardless of our guiding beliefs, Science of Soul carries an ethical message that few sane people would find fault in: To love and live peacefully among ourselves. And when you think about it, no one fully knows just what God is and how the divine interacts with organic life and the supposedly inorganic universe.

It’s probably just a matter of time before Science of Soul’s integral approach is embraced by the gatekeepers of both contemporary scientific and religious thought. But a comprehensive gelling of Big Science and Big Religion might take a little longer than most of us would hope for, given the deeply entrenched historical biases that inform our 21st century worldview.

We shouldn’t be discouraged, however. As a catalyst for this much needed dialogue, Science of Soul is a definite step in the right direction.

I was going through my drawers looking for an AC/DC adapter when I came across this old gem. Probably taken somewhere between ’92 and ’97.

Was just browsing through Flickr, looking for some ideas for Earthpages’ header, and came across this interesting drawing…

I couldn’t help but remember the old Fleetwood Mac lyric, “players only love you when they’re playing…”

Still, I’m starting to see why LG is getting so big…
