To eat or not to eat?

You might remember the link I had put a while ago on breatharianism..(quick reminder: Indian fellow who claims he's not eatten in 60 years; experiments are then conducted on him by a huge number of Indian and German doctors from different fields; he's put under surveillance for 9 days and indeed, he seems to be just fine: nothing goes in, nothing comes out)
Well, it turns out some Austrian people made a documentary on Mataji Prahlad Jani! And it's gonna hit the cinemas (here in France at least) the 15th of December!
Apparently they are trying to give a detailed account of the research that has been done, the studies conducted on the man and (hopefully)encourage people to ask some daring questions about the way we see reality.
I cannot wait to watch it.
Here's a concise description (in English!) on the way the experiments had been conducted.
And here's the trailer.

Interviews!

Just a quick note to draw your attention on this fascinating site which contains loads of very interesting interviews with several famous culture figures (for example the interview with David Snellgrove, the Tibetologist who's quite known for the "Nine Ways of Bön").

A discussion not like any other

This is a very interesting video with Graham Hancock and David Wilcock (who is believed to be the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce!). They are trying to retrace the work of Hancock from jurnalism to the search into an ancient lost civilisation which might have existed 10500 BC (during the Ice Age, with proof), passing through Ethiopia and the Arc of the Covenant (watch to see what the researcher thinks it is!).

How open-minded are we really?

Granted, this is not a post about anything Sanskrit, even though I can easily find a link to it (the "vimanas"...).
I have "stumbled" onto a video made by Stephane Allix, a French war journalist who decided to take on the subject of "aliens" and prove once and for all that it's all bogus. He has written a book on his discoveries and made a documentary (further down for the link). He was particularly interested in the work of Jahn E. Mack, a psychiatrist at Harvard University (not your average lunatic) who studied a good number of cases of so called "alien abduction". His view of the phenomenon is the reason i'm posting the link to the videos here (English).

The Women's Meditation Tradition in Tibet

A very interesting talk given by the Venerable Wangdrak Rinpoche in which he explains the practices of some buddhist nuns famous for their mastery of meditation and the Tummo technique ("inner fire"). Here!
