This article describes the truth about the relationship between the immune system and emotional stress. By David Ruben.

Doctors still don't fully understand the immune system... or what happens when it turns on us. Currently, doctors know of at least 80 autoimmune disorders - including Lupus, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes and celiac disease - but there are at least 40 or more other illnesses related to the immune system. In these conditions, the body's immune system starts to see muscles, joints, tissues and even organs as enemy invaders. Unfortunately, doctors can't do much except treat the symptoms.

Rick Collingwood — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 08:43:46 +0000

Rick Collingwood describes the popular movie Inception from a hypnotists point of view, and the role of the subconscious mind, that is so vividly portrayed in this film.

The new movie Inception has already made it to number 7 on the Internet Movie Database's top movies of all time! This is in just a couple of months - quite phenomenal really.

Amidst all the hype, many people have been emailing me to know what I think of this film and the way it portrays possibilities of the human mind. Amidst all the hype and apparent 'new ideas' that the movie brings, there is a great deal of fact and also a great deal of fiction surrounding it.

I thought I might share a few truisms about the movie and what it means in the real world'.

The Power of NOW!

David Ruben — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:48:09 +0000

A short philosophy on the power of the moment by David Ruben.

Every moment of every day we are confronted with pressure, aggravation and environmental forces that either strengthen, or weaken us depending upon our awareness about the underlying dynamic present in the experience. Unless we are aware of our own relationship with each moment we are likely to be knocked from our inner center. Once out of balance, we become an extension of each presence, or force that we have responded to. All positive change begins with a single choice... Chosen Consciousness... - Davd Ruben

Source University of Michigan - Most people don't appreciate an angry look, but a new University of Michigan psychology study found that some people find angry expressions so rewarding that they will readily learn ways to encourage them.

"It's kind of striking that an angry facial expression is consciously valued as a very negative signal by almost everyone, yet at a non-conscious level can be like a tasty morsel that some people will vigorously work for," said Oliver Schultheiss, co-author of the study and a U-M associate professor of psychology.

The Theoretical Physics of Consciousness

David Ruben — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:36:45 +0000

An article by David Ruben on the complexities of consciousness and enlightenment within mankind and our environment.

Since nature abhors a vacuum, consciousness or enlightened reason occurs as the cognition objectively becomes removed from the thought stream, thus choosing to be unemotionally involved in reactions to environmental stimulus. The result of choosing to remain unaffected creates a "conscious vacuum" that occurs at some point immediately or some time later after the choice of objectivity is exercised. The resulting "conscious vacuum" draws in new, NOW energy similar to the way lungs breath in fresh air.
