Positive Engagement

What has been learned through science is that the human body is not a separate part of the environment. Indeed, both organic and non-organic energies are exchanged in every instant of life. As the spectrum of electromagnetic energies used in virtual media devices has expanded, there are increasingly vast amounts of non-organic energies bombarding living matter, and there are consequences of this bombardment being paid by those whose bodies are more sensitive to these energies. Electromagnetic frequency (EMF) sensitivity has brought hundreds of people to rural Green Bank, West Virginia. This chapter follows the journey of one such individual, who has engaged her body, mind, and heart to reclaim her life through engaging in physical and mental grounding, rewiring her brain, and achieving mind-heart entrainment. Further, the authors suggest that with the easement of pain, her time-sharpened and expanded senses appear to have contributed to positive engagement with subtle energies.

Further Development

The article is devoted to the original phenomenon of Russian cosmism, which is a synthesis of general scientific, natural-scientifi c and cultural approaches to the study of the cosmoplanetary dimension of human. The purpose of this article is to show the alternative to transhumanism, which is contained in the legacy of Russian cosmists. The article shows the threats to humanity that the realization of the ideals of transhumanism can lead to. Culture is faced with a fundamental choice: either further development will go towards the study of human and his position in the biosphere, or a principled course will be taken towards the gradual technical replacement of the natural human body in order to create a cyborg. The article shows that Russian cosmism is fundamentally different from transhumanism by the presence of an ethical teaching, according to which new evolutionary abilities are conditioned by the spiritual and moral perfection of human. By reducing human consciousness to an electronic medium, transhumanism devalues the values of European culture. Along with bold dreams about the future evolutionary possibilities of human, Russian cosmism also contains research programs in which living matter on our planet is caused by various cosmic radiation. The philosophy of Russian cosmism by the scale of the vision of problems, relying on the idea of the cosmic nature of life and the «heart» as a special psychophysiological center of a human can contribute to solving the problem of «high touch» with the latest technologies.

Synthetic Work

Hydroxyapatite bioceramics has attracted many material scientists as it is the main constituent of the bone and the teeth in human body. The synthesis of the bioceramics has been performed for years. Nowadays, the synthetic work is not only focused on the hydroapatite but also on the fluorapatite and chlorapatite bioceramics since later materials have also biological compatibility with human tissues; and they may also be very promising for clinic purpose. However, in comparison of the synthetic bioceramics with natural one on microstructure, a great differences were observed according to our previous results. We have investigated these differences further in this work since they are very important to appraise the synthetic bioceramics for their clinic application.The synthetic hydroxyapatite and chlorapatite were prepared according to A. Krajewski and A. Ravaglioli and their recent work. The briquettes from different hydroxyapatite or chlorapatite powders were fired in a laboratory furnace at the temperature of 900-1300°C. The samples of human enamel selected for the comparison with synthetic bioceramics were from Chinese adult teeth.

Important Basis

This is a combined study of two diffirent branches, photogrammetry and morphology of blood cells. The three dimensional quantitative analysis of erythrocytes using SEMP technique, electron computation technique and photogrammetry theory has made it possible to push the study of mophology of blood cells from LM, TEM, SEM to a higher stage, that of SEM P. A new path has been broken for deeply study of morphology of blood cells.In medical view, the abnormality of the quality and quantity of erythrocytes is one of the important changes of blood disease. It shows the abnormal blood—making function of the human body. Therefore, the study of the change of shape on erythrocytes is the indispensable and important basis of reference in the clinical diagnosis and research of blood disease.The erythrocytes of one normal person, three PNH Patients and one AA patient were used in this experiment. This research determines the following items: Height;Length of two axes (long and short), ratio; Crevice in depth and width of cell membrane; Circumference of erythrocytes; Isoline map of erythrocytes; Section map of erythrocytes.
