March 10th 2008, marks the 49th anniversary of the Tibetan National Uprising when tens of thousands of Tibetans rose up against China's illegal invasion and occupation of their country. Despite China's best attempts to destroy the Tibetan spirit, Tibetan resistance has continued for nearly half a century inside Tibet and in exile communities worldwide.
This year, with all eyes focused on the Olympics in China, Tibetans and supporters worldwide are protesting the Chinese government's use of the Olympics as a political tool to legitimize its illegal occupation of Tibet.
Join the Global Uprising for Tibet! Help us draw attention to the worsening human rights situation inside Tibet. Help us use the Olympics spotlight to shame and embarrass the Chinese government and show them that until Tibet is free, China will never be never be accepted as a leader on the world stage.

FREE CASEY HARDISON
Having come of age in the touring music scene of the Pacific and Mountain West of the United States, Casey attended entheogen-related conferences, wrote articles for MAPS and contributed to Erowid. In 2002, shortly after moving to England, Casey chose to fulfill his ten-year spiritual journey to make LSD.
After a 4-month investigation precipitated by a US DEA informant, however, Casey was arrested in February 2004 on the suspicion that he was manufacturing the psychedelic or entheogenic-type drugs LSD, DMT and 2C-B in Britain.
Casey acted as his own lawyer during his trial and, instead of arguing he did not commit the alleged acts, he argued that, as long as he harmed no one, he had the human right to engage in his chosen entheogenic praxis. In essence, Casey challenged the drug laws as a discriminatory affront to Cognitive Liberty, therapeutic choice and free religion.

quantum doc [part I]
I'm amazed at how Amit Goswami's ideas resonate with my own. The truth is the way he is developing this theories is, to my extent, destiny. All great thinkers come to be great thinkers based on other people's thoughts. It is only when we integrate that we can produce something creative, unique.
He considers himself an integralist. Am I therefore an Integralist as well?? The truth is I do like the word integrate, and the fact that he has integrated all medicines amazes me. He not only created the quantum doctor, but he integrated all fields of medicine - both conservative and alternative.
Below is a little something of what I'm reading right now - hope who ever gets to read this understands the complexity and importance of what he is up to

There is nothing but God - "quotes on A. Goswami"
The new paradigm of science is based on the primacy of consciousness as the ground of all being. It integrates physics with psychology and spirituality. Conventional science is a science of objects; it develops theories of objects in terms of other more fundamental objects. So it fails for consciousness because consciousness consists of both subjects and objects. The new paradigm treats subjects and objects, spirit and matter, on the same footing.
The old science is about only the conditioned behavior of the world; the new paradigm also can handle the world's creative aspects. Hence it allows us to explore new avenues for our creativity. Surely, everyone is interested in creativity.
Is there an application of the new paradigm that is so striking that it will grab public imagination? There is. The new way of doing science not only may answer some knotty problems of biologic evolution. I am realizing that it may also be able to integrate the disparate ideas of conventional and alternative medicine.
