Book Review: Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance by G.E. Poole

Introduction What if consciousness is not simply something produced by the brain? What if human beings are participants in a much larger experiment of consciousness? And what if science, spirituality, philosophy, music, mathematics and ancient wisdom are all approaching parts of the same mystery from different directions? These are some of the ambitious questions at the heart of Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance by G.E. Poole. This is not a conventional book about spirituality, nor does it fit comfortably within science, philosophy or psychology. Instead, Poole deliberately travels between these territories, asking readers to consider possibilities that may challenge their existing understanding of consciousness, morality, suffering, human development and even reality itself. Perhaps the best way to approach this book is through its own underlying philosophy: don’t simply believe—investigate. Ten Ideas That Make Infrequent Frequencies, Rare Resonance Very Different One of the boo...

King and a Laundryman "The 99 Club"


Indian King Many years ago there lived a king who was not satisfied with his luxurious lifestyle. He was not able to understand the purpose of life. He sometimes becomes very angry and wanted to end his life also. One day while he was roaming around his big castle he listened to a very loud song. He followed the song and came to know that one of his Laundrymen was singing this song. There was a joy in a song of this laundryman.
This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy. The King asked the laundry man, “Why are you so happy?”
The man replied, "Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don't need too much - just a roof over our heads and warm food to fill our tummies." I don't want anything else. King listened to the answer and left the place. But he was not satisfied with the answer.
King asked the question from one of his wisest advisers. After hearing the King’s woes and the servant’s story, the advisor said, “Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of the 99 Club.”
"The 99 Club? And what is that?" the King asked.
The advisor replied, "Sir, to truly know what the 99 Club is, place 99 Gold coins in a bag and leave it at this man's doorstep."
Gold coins
When the man saw the bag, he took it into his house.
When he opened the bag, he let out a great shout of joy... So many gold coins! He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins.
He wondered, "What could've happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!"
He looked everywhere he could, but that final coin was elusive. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he was going to have to work harder than ever to earn that gold coin and complete his collection.
From that day, the man's life was changed. He was overworked, horribly grumpy, and castigated his family for not helping him make that 100th gold coin. He stopped whistling while he worked.
Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King was puzzled.
When he sought his advisor's help, the advisor said, "Your Majesty, the man has now officially joined The 99 Club."
He continued, " The 99 Club is a name given to those people who have enough to be happy but are never contented because they're always yearning and striving for that extra 1 telling themselves: "Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life."
Moral of the story:
"We can be happy, even with very little in our lives, but the minute we're given something bigger and better, we want even more! We lose our sleep, our happiness, we hurt the people around us; all these as a price for our growing needs and desires. That's what joining The 99 Club is all about."

Why Greek Athletes Imagined Losing Before They Won

Introduction Fear has stopped more dreams than failure ever has. Many people believe they struggle because they lack talent, resources, intelligence, or opportunity. In reality, the biggest obstacle is often much simpler: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of not being good enough. These fears silently influence decisions every day. They prevent people from speaking up in meetings, starting businesses, applying for promotions, pursuing relationships, or taking risks that could transform their lives. What is fascinating is that thousands of years ago, long before psychology textbooks and neuroscience laboratories existed, ancient Greek athletes had already discovered a powerful method for dealing with fear. Instead of trying to avoid failure, they mentally embraced it. This practice, known as prokatalepsis , was a form of mental preparation that helped athletes free themselves from the emotional grip of fear and perform at their highest level. Today, m...
