===========================================================
===========================================================
As thousands of people participate in the daily demonstrations on Wall 
Street, to protest the corruption at the heart of our financial and 
political institutions, we'd like to share a note we received from 
Reality Sandwich contributor Charles Eisenstein about this inspiring 
campaign: "Someday we might look back and see the Occupy Wall Street 
movement as a watershed event. Until now, the financial industry's 
depredations have brought nary a consequence to its elites, insulated as 
they are behind walls of numbers. No more: now the real world is 
puncturing their bubble. If the politicians won't hold them accountable, 
maybe the people will. These protesters won't prosecute them or 
physically harm them; what they will do is to remind them that their 
numbers games have real-world consequences. Traffic snarls and ID checks 
are just the beginning. People are angry, and they have learned from 
democratic movements around the world that direct action can bring 
results. Normal isn't coming back to Wall Street."

Charles Eisenstein is the author of the new Evolver Editions book, 
Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition, and 
has an article in the upcoming Reality Sandwich anthology What Comes 
After Money?, which is edited by RS founders Daniel Pinchbeck and Ken 
Jordan, and will be released on September 27. We encourage you to check 
them out.

NEW ARTICLES

We publish new articles on Reality Sandwich daily, M-F. Below are 
teasers for recent highlights. We hope you will enjoy these stories and 
share them with your compatriots:


Synchronicity, Myth, and the New World Order
Charles Eisenstein
Most critiques of conspiracy theories dispute the author's evidence, 
logic, and sources, and impugn his sanity, intelligence, or integrity. 
While such critiques often have merit, they tend to go after the 
low-hanging fruit. Giving the best of the genre a fair reading, however, 
the impartial reader realizes that something strange is going on.

Time is the music of eternity. You can clearly hear the changing music 
of time...it is reaching its death-rock climax. We are closing in on the 
majestic moment in which God reveals what She can do, She is pulling out 
the stops, She's about to start jammin'! Enjoy the ride.

The People's Wall Street
By Jennifer Palmer
Hundreds of people have been occupying Liberty Plaza, a park at the 
heart of Wall Street, NYC, since 9/17 in order to build, "the world that 
we want to see, based on human need and sustainability, not corporate 
greed."

Exploring the Mystery of Hands-on Healing
By William Bengston
"I became interested in hands-on healing from the vantage point of a 
skeptic --  someone who doesn't know the answer. I still don't know why 
some people heal. If they were a believer in this healing stuff, it 
tended to take longer to heal than if they were a skeptic." --In this 
interview, sociologist William Bengston discusses his decades of 
research in hands-on healing.

Doublethink and the Mental Construction of Reality
By Nick Meador
The concept of truth-seeking has long been a cornerstone of 
individualism. But in order to be effective as individuals, we have to 
make sure that our perception of reality actually contains a significant 
amount of what we call "truth." So how can we ever be certain that we 
possess the actual truth? Is human objectivity even possible in reality?

Eshu and Ananse: Liberation by Subversive Knowledge
By Brian George
Since he exists at a perpetual beginning, it is possible that for the 
trickster no initiation is complete. Humans must be shaken out of 
ego-bound myopia. Centered but open to fresh energies from the bush, 
society must be provoked to reinvent the wheel.

Skywriters in Hades (Pt. 2)
By aeolus kephas
The discovery of mirror neurons marks an Archimedean point (a God's eye 
view) from which all human knowledge can now be rethought and all our 
models of reality must be reformulated. The reason, in simple language, 
is that mirror neurons present us with a solid scientific basis for 
telepathy, and the existence of telepathy changes everything.

Sri Aurobindo's Radical Social Vision: the Possibility of Telepathic Utopia
By Tristan Gulliford
Aurobindo Ghose (also known as Sri Aurobindo) was a Bengali mystic, 
poet, political activist, and social theorist. What would society look 
like if Aurobindo's views, methods, and practices were applied on a wide 
scale, and formed the basis of spiritual ethics of social action?

Our Native Mind: Shamanic Song among the Ancient Celts
By Robert Tindall and Susana Bustos PhD
Indigenous, shamanic ways of healing and prophecy are not foreign to the 
West. Rather, they are simply unrecognized. Native symbiosis in a 
living, sentient cosmos is found at the very origin of the European 
literary tradition.

Star Crossed Lovers
By Adam Elenbaas
In my first year as an astrologer the most relentless question I've 
fielded in over 500 sessions has been "When will I meet my soul mate?" 
Astrology has always had a lot to say on the subject of love. The 
answers aren't always what people want to hear but they are almost 
always what people need to hear.

Sacred Economics: Chapter 10, The Law of Return (Pt. 11)
By Charles Eisenstein
The personal and planetary mirror each other. The connection is more 
than mere analogy: the kind of work that we force ourselves to do is 
precisely the kind of work that despoils the planet. We don't really 
want to do it to our bodies; we don't really want to do it to the world.

Mythology of Business Part 2: The Dark Side
