The
Breakthrough
the Limits of the Brain
JOSEPH SELBIE Exclusive Interview By Sandie Sedgbeer
COVER FEATURE
Breakthrough the Limits of the Brain, Neuroscience, Inspiration, and Practices to Transform Your Life Have you ever wondered why superhero comics and movies are so popular with adults and children? Well, it's because we all harbor a secret hankering to be one. Who wouldn't want to have an array of amazing Amazonian superpowers to call upon? The problem is that we can only find them in comics and movies. Right? Well, actually, no, because according to Dean Radin, MS, Ph.D., the Chief Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Science (IONS) and author of the book Real Magic, the book we will discuss today is not just an accelerating read. It's the definitive User manual for superheroes.
Joseph Selby is the author of the physics of God, how the deepest theories of science explain religion, and how the deepest truths of religion explain science. A dedicated Kriya meditator for nearly 50 years. He's taught yoga and meditation throughout the US and Europe. He has helped hundreds of people awaken to their own spiritual potential. He's a founding member of Ananda, a worldwide spiritual movement inspired by Paramahansa Yogananda. Joseph Selbie joins us to discuss his latest book: The Breakthrough the Limits of the Brain", which connects the dots between the discoveries of neuroscience and the meditation-born spiritual experience and provides proven, practical exercises to help you achieve your superconscious potential.

SIGNS OF A KARMIC RELATIONSHIP
You're probably bound to your old familiar patterns because you
You feel an incredible desire for something you never wanted. You feel a divine connection with that person. You feel like you already know much about them without talking to them. But, if that person becomes your lover, it will affect your relationship with a tantalizing intensity. You will feel an overwhelming sensation inside your bones, unlike anything you have ever felt, because of this unprecedented connection you share with them.
willingly want to be subjected to loneliness and acute despair rather than delving into the unknown. Suppose you are in a relationship under the heavy influence of Karma. In that case, you need to elevate this framework to open your eyes to reality. Otherwise, you will surround yourself with negativity and old limiting behavior patterns. It will be a vicious cycle. A) Realize that the way of redemption is a spiral, not a circle.
Unfortunately, these are signs of a karmic relationship and are seldom good for you. These relationships carry heavy lessons and, many times, very painful experiences.
If you don't even realize it, unconsciously, you will repeat these patterns and put your future at risk. B) Learn to differentiate real Love from the "Karma Glue."
