This Is How To get High Without Using Plants Or Drugs

Humans have enjoyed getting high since the beginning of time. From orgasm, to booze, to fasting- people love to have their consciousness altered and to get that good feeling. Alcoholics and addicts crave this more than the average person but scientists argue that this is because our brains are wired differently. Most of these big highs lead to devastating blows that make one feel worse and crave for more. Those trying to recover from these addictions however, have learned how to use natural methods without having to suffer these long term losses. Some of these natural methods include:

1. Meditation

You can get high through meditation. As you meditate for longer, one feels like they are getting high. This is almost the kind of feeling you get after smoking marijuana. It’s especially awesome if you’ve got insomnia and is very addictive. It gets better if you increase the meditation time.

The advantage of using meditation instead of Marijuana is that you have absolute control and you can stop whenever you want to. No side effects like an altered state of mind are experienced. You get this altered state of mind by taking caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, etc. Meditation will instead give you a bunch of health benefits. How awesome is that!

2. Ecstatic dancing

The level of consciousness you reach while dancing is dependent on the kind of music and how you dance. Endorphins are produced during dancing. If you dance consciously using a tool like hula hoops, which helps your body repeatedly intricate geometries, your body produces temporary conscious expanding moments, even though your perception state remains long term. To make this process easier, you must achieve a meditative state of mind. This puts your perception into a moldable and sensitive state. Your state of mind will create the difference between an endorphin rush (normal adrenaline) and a full temporary altered state like the one experienced on taking DMT.

For your brain to activate the pineal gland so that serotonin is synthesized to create melatonin and DMT, one has to achieve a meditative state. Start practicing yoga and you can experience this feeling.

3. Kundalini Yoga

Practicing Kundalini Yoga helps you support your Divine Purpose in life- becoming an excellent human being. The practice guides you into thinking of yourself as a spiritual being that inhabits a body designed to be containing a portion of divine consciousness. It involves moving, breathing and concentrating in an exceptional specific manner that gives you the level of consciousness needed to experience your ‘Sat Nam’, your higher self and your union with the infinite.

4. Breathing consciously

We sometimes take breathing for granted since it happens endlessly day in day out till one dies, just like we do breathing. We only notice these things accidentally sometimes like when we move into a hot environment and breathing becomes labored. Expanded awareness however, highly depends on our ability to become aware of our breath and being able to bring its pattern under our very own conscious control. Breathing controls ‘life force’ (energy) flow in our body and the Taoist and yogi’s do understand this.

Our breath is the primary source of Chi/Prana (an energy that permeates all things then collects in sentient beings in higher amounts). They also realized that most people breathe unconsciously but by being conscious of the breath and deepening it, one achieves an expanded state of consciousness. Different techniques were tried out and a series of practices was formed that enhance awareness at will.

5. Conscious love making

Love making is the most natural way of getting high. To get the most out of it though, one has to make it as loving and pure as possible. Try having intercourse that is full of a conscious love. By doing this, we allow the sexual experience to speak to not only the lower organs but to our entire body. This leads to lots of pleasure and control over the experience. To get this sense of control, intercourse must be practiced from a fullness place rather than an achievement of orgasm.

This Algae Based Battery Charges Faster And Lasts Longer Than Normal Batteries

Several scientists have researched the possible power capabilities of algae. Prototype creator, Adam Freeman is one of them and he intends to build a new kind of battery that could even power a Tesla. He says that this battery will have 200X greater charge than current lithium-based batteries we use today. His research company aIGAS aims to prove this.

Image source: www.techcrunch.com

The algae battery according to Freeman, lasts longer and also charges faster than ion batteries we are currently using on our iPads, cell phones or even the Tesla. As he explains, algae have paper-thin fibers that provide ions with an easier surface to get through. Instead of the charge taking minutes or hours, it takes just 11 seconds. This image shows how current batteries we use charge. Numerous studies that have been done, show that the materials we mine to make the batteries today are becoming extinct and the batteries may cause cancer.

Image source: www.techcrunch.com

Previous tests have been done to prove that algae has charge and could in theory produce battery power but it's not yet known how much of it would be needed or how much charge generated by it would power a car, for example. Freeman however, believes he has the answer to this question and all he needs is funding to start mass production.

He say that to build a prototype, he needs only $1, 500 and with $5,000 the algae battery would be ready for mass production by summer.

Materials used to make ion batteries are quite hard to extract which makes them expensive. 95 percent of them are shipped from China and are used to power most of the gadgets we own like phones.

To cut cost, Tesla pledged that it would use only US materials. If Freeman is to be believed, then it means the cost needed to grow the algae powered batteries would be low and this would reduce their price. This could result in big implications if successful.

Theoretically, with this kind of battery, one could power an entire house. Pierre Calleja, a French Biochemist, did it when he designed the first algae street light. So, imagine having a breathing algae plant power up your house. It's possible!

Freeman's prototype is different from others done before since it uses a bio-safe polymer. This critical element binds the algae fibers together creating a much better interaction with the electron charge. The potential of this prototype according to Adam Freeman is huge.

"Think of driving your car on a living battery that charges in seconds with a battery that costs almost nothing and is actually good for the environment."

This Man Wakes Up Every Morning And Recreates His Dreams Digitally From The Previous Night. The Results Are Epic!

Do you remember your dream perfectly after waking up? Personally, it’s hard to conjure up all those images or have them make sense sometimes. This Reddit user, however, does remember his:

“I actually find that sketching out an image as soon as I wake up is really helpful. If you can utilize that brief period in the morning when you still remember something and get it out on paper then you have a pretty effective reference point to look back on. Needless to say, I've got stacks of papers next to my bed.! “ Reddit user, MemeDreams says.

He is the creator of these awesome images recreated from his dreams after he wakes up. These are some of his favorites. Enjoy!

Indonesian Woman Who Gave Birth To A Lizard Baffles Even Doctors

Debi Nubatonis, 31, claims to be the mother of the gecko after being pregnant for eight months. She was assisted by a midwife known as Josephine Lydia Hellen Wadu, who also confirms the story. Wadu informed the Indonesian press that while she expected to help the young lady give birth to a baby, a lizard slithered out of her birth canal coated in mucus and blood instead.

Messe Ataupa, the chief medical officer, at a press conference the day after the incident, claimed that something was amiss in the whole situation. "We are looking into whether this was intentional or not. Clearly the womb must have been empty and this is what’s known as pseudocyesis. So the gecko coming out is probably some kind of hoax. Childbirth of another species has never been reported in science.”

Pseudocyesis is another name for phantom or false pregnancy. In this phenomenon, a woman experiences all the symptoms of pregnancy but has no actual feotus.

According to Ataupa, women who get phantom pregnancies also experience labor. Some discharge may have been present as the lady was ‘birthing’ and this could have landed on an unsuspecting lizard, leading to all the confusion.

According to eyewitnesses from Debi’s village, she was visibly pregnant and seemed to have reached her eighth month by the time she went into labor. She called for a midwife on May 30th because the hospital was too far away. Wadu, the midwife, arrived before the birth and when she saw a gecko pop out instead of a baby, she decided to take the ‘newborn’ for a checkup at the Oenuntono Health Center. Debi and her family are now being accused of witchcraft by the locals while others claim that the whole issue is as a result of an overactive imagination.

Footage of the said lizard being weighed in a hospital is also doing rounds on the internet.


If it was a phantom pregnancy, Debi would not have had anything from her womb emerge! So is the whole issue real or did Debi give birth to a gecko? What would she gain by lying about the lizard and why is the midwife confirming the story?

Do you think it's a hoax?

Mind Blowing Facts About The FIFA World Cup, 2014

The 2014 World Cup is being held in Brazil this year. The ceremony kicked off on 12th June with a colorful ceremony before Brazil, the hosts, beat Croatia 3-1. 32 nations in total will compete in 64 games and may the best country win. As the games continue, here are 9 mind blowing facts about the 2014 World Cup that you didn’t know:

1. Goal-line technology will be used for the first time in history

Image source: www.fifa.com

Due to the controversies that have sometimes surrounded world cup goals in the past years, the referee will now be able to tell if a goal is scored. 14 cameras have been set up where 7 of these focus on one goal and the other 7 on the opposite one. These are then connected to a central mainframe computer that analyses each goal. The referee feels a vibration when the match ball crosses the goal line. A visual sign ‘Goal’ appears on a special watch he will be wearing on his wrist. No more Lampard situations anymore!

2. Drones and US robots will be used

For safety purposes, Israeli drones and Robots will be used. The unmarked drones will monitor the crowds for security and defense purposes. PackBot 510 robots used in the US military will also be used to protect tourists and citizens. These can be operated remotely and will detect and examine any suspicious objects. They also explore any dangerous environments. To enhance security, they will also use facial recognition camera glasses, high tech surveillance equipment, helicopters with thermal cameras and night vision and Brazilian Armed Forces soldiers.

3. A paraplegic teenager Took The First 2014 World Cup Kick

The paraplegic teenager had on a mind controlled exoskeleton suit. Though paralyzed from the waist down, the suit helps them feel the kick due to sensory feedback. The suit helped the kid stand up from his wheelchair, walk to the midfield and take the kick. This is a huge technological step and wheelchairs may one day cease to exist.

4.‘Darth Vadar’ police

Brazilian police in all the 12 states that matches will be held, have masks that are inspired by the Darth Vader character in Star Wars. They protect the police from gas attacks, can withstand high temperatures, and are equipped with a visor that will not fog and a voice amplifier. They will be used in case riots break out.

5. Brazil has worn 5 world cups

Image source: www.bleacherreport.com

World Cup Tournaments have been held since 1930. 19 of them have been held but only 8 countries have ever won. They include Brazil, Italy, Spain, England, Germany, France, Argentina and Uruguay. Brazil has won five times, Italy Four times, Germany thrice, Uruguay and Argentina twice while England, Spain and France have each won once.

6. Strange demands by the teams

You think superstars have strange demands, wait till you hear what the football teams asked for during the World Cup. Some of the craziest things demanded include:

• Portugal demanded 6 security guards with two assigned to Cristiano Ronaldo.
• France demanded two types of liquid soaps: one for washing hands and the other for showering. The players’ room should also be identical even in color.
• Uruguay demanded that each room should have silent air-conditioning units.
• Algeria wanted each room to have a Quran.
• Ecuador demanded every room should have an everyday basket of Ecuadorian bananas.
• Japan wanted a Jacuzzi in each room
• Germany on the other hand didn’t like the accommodations provided and went ahead and built their own World Cup Hotel and training camp. Beat that! 

7. Bazuka ball

Image source: www.adweek.com

Adidas designed this year’s World Cup named ‘Bazuka’. ‘Bazuka’ is slang for national pride and the name was chosen by fans. The ball maintains it roundness and weight even in the thickest of weathers. It also produces faster flight speeds. The ball also has an innovative camera that uses six different lenses to capture a 360° view of the action on the field.

EDIT : The chances of the ball with the cameras to be used in the actual matches is very less. They were put in just a few of the balls to make a montage of players having a kick-about which will be released as a promotional video for the WC2014.

8. It’s the most expensive World Cup ever

Image source: www.telegraph.co.uk

Brazil was not holding back in terms of expenditure when it came to preparing for the World Cup. It’s the most expensive with over 14-16 billion dollars used. In fact, it’s more expensive than the combined cost of the last two world cup events held. Costs incurred were from transport, stadiums and security. The Brazilians were not too happy about this considering their economy and they took to the streets about the issue.

9. “All In One Rythym” is the official slogan

The 2014 World Cup slogan is “Juntos num só ritmo” in Portuguese translated as “All in One Rhythm” in English. It refers to the Brazilian culture that has rhythm everywhere.

What You See Here Are Not Photographs, But Actually 3D Renderings Of Human Beings—All Generated On A Computer.

These are not real photographs! They are a stunning collection of computer generated images created by professionals.

A reddit user(republicrats) shared these images on Imgur. He named the collection, “3D Renderings of Humans” and they elicited strong reactions from some of Reddit users. It’s hard to believe that these images are not captured by camera. The expressive eyes, textured hair, scattering light to the skin, subtly rendered makeup, realistic clothing and amazing backgrounds are astonishingly lifelike. The images look like they were taken from real life.

CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW by ZhiHeng Tang

3D rendering is the process of creating a 2D video or image from a 3D model with the help of 3D computer graphic rendering software. As technology advances, it’s getting easier to produce better 3D images using the help of programs like Sculptis and Lightwave. This in turn is opening up a load of opportunities in video games production, film creation and many more.
