Gaia9

GAIA9 is dedicated to exploring and affirming the evolutionary potential of the Human Heart Intelligence, drawing from non-dogmatic, holistic scientific theories which are leading to life-positive paradigms of true health, healing and well-being, measured against the revealed wisdom of the integral energetic heart.

Falling somewhere between credulous acceptance and rabid skepticism, there exist approaches to culture which recognize the individual as inseparable from nature and the nested levels of natural and socio-political organization within which the individual exists - from the family on up to the interdependent ecosystems of the biosphere, and inclusive of as yet unacknowledged interconnections within the universe. The wisdom of our ancients is returning to us full-circle, manifesting through new sciences, and new willingness to consider and utilize ancient methodologies.

The Nature of Awakening
We humans have long understood ourselves to exist as both physical and non-physical beings. It has been the endeavor of the arts and poetry, mathematics and engineering, sciences and philosophies to attempt to accurately portray the warp and woof, and to render a grand overview of the magnificent tapestry of our existence. Transitioning into this post-modern era, what we have come to call energy is understood to comprise the deep structure of all that is, and we are beginning to realize that all dimensions of existence are simply domains of energy.

The paradoxes of life on earth can also be understood in terms of the polarities and energy dynamics within a larger system. As human culture struggles to newly awaken from the ignorance with which it has been afflicted for millennia, the Human Heart is coming to be recognized as the organ of integration of ALL of the multiple dimensions of our experience into meaningful, coherent wholeness.

We want to emphasize here that the core issue of conscious evolution of the species involves the development of a greater capacity within each individual to directly and intuitively sense, feel and recognize the non-physical structures of our multidimensional reality, and to integrate this experiential knowing into a high level of functioning within the bodymind and throughout our life. This occurs on the level of the energetic heart intelligence, and recognizing this is the root of wisdom.

Far more than a mechanical pump or a metaphor for soppy sentimentality, the human heart center is showing itself to be more akin to a portal or gateway to domains of intelligence and consciousness, accessible through conscious integration of information streams which are always passing around and through us. The experience of unconditional love is our navigational beacon, and through proper meditation and intentional action, this true stargate may become a stable conduit for higher-order organizing intelligence to flow through our awareness and into our world.

How Shall it be Done?
For this endeavor to succeed, human beings must learn to appreciate our already existing, amazing structure to which we are heir: the bodymind intelligence. This beautiful and elegant design implementation exists in and defines our present-moment of experience. Communicating through the language of sensation and emotion, it always reports honestly and truthfully. Running underneath cerebral cortex functions, it supports us in our exploration of existence even in our groping egoic preoccupations. However, it is also available to us as a robust platform upon which to stand up and transcend historical limitations of the species, and to develop a genuinely human high-culture.

High-functionality and good health require fluency in the language of emotion and sensation. Our emotions represent energy-state conversions within the bodymind, and the human heart sits at the fulcrum of the gross physical and subtle energetic aspects of the bodymind. It is the true processor and transformer of diverse information streams flowing to us from many different levels of experience, from electro-chemical to subtle-energetic. Although the brain serves as an organ of pre-digestion for certain specific ranges of energy/information, that data is passed through the heart of the integral being to the soul and higher dimensions.

Electromagnetic fields of the heart are now easily measured by modern science, but the subtler life energies require a more refined instrumentation. These energies (which science can not yet appreciate) seem to comprise a far greater portion of existence than the grossly observable features of the universe. The practical limits of our external instrumentation to gather meaningful data for egoic consideration are being reached.

The Spiritual Imperative
It is of the highest importance for us to realize now, that WE ARE the instrumentation of consciousness in its discovery and exploration of itself.

So, here we ask and ponder questions which may exercise our hearts to become strong enough to withstand the challenges we face as a sapient species on the verge of transition to entirely new energetic frames of reference.

• Cross-disciplinary research which documents the intersection of soft and hard scientific fields
• In what way is consciousness separate and independent from the body?
• In what way is consciousness dependent upon and how does it integrate with matter?
• What is consciousness?
• What is information?
• What are memes and what role do they play in the evolution of consciousness?
• What is the body?
• Is human existence important, and if so, in what way?
• How many levels are there, and how many are relevant to our existence as human beings?
• How big is big and how small is small?
• Does God care, and why?
• Do I care, and why not?
• Is there a purpose to it all?
• Are higher dimensions better?
• What is the technological/cultural singularity?
• What is the meaning of end-times?
• What is the meaning of ethics in virtual reality?
• Can I be spiritual and still have fun?

The above are just some possible topics for discussion, always pointing to an awakening of the Human Energetic Heart Potential. We look forward to your contributions.
