CONFERENCIA MIRAR A CONVENIENCIA
NADA SEGÚN TU CONVENIENCIA PERSONAL SE TIENE SALAS DE REGENERACIÓN HUMANA EN TODO EL PAÍS, Y A NIVEL INTERNACIONAL. MIRA LA TUYA EN: http://conocimientodesimismo.com.co/colombia/salas-2/bogota/ (o mira al final del escrito) NO SOMOS NI SI QUIERA UN GRUPO SOMOS UNAS PERSONAS QUE SE ESFUERZAN POR LA CONQUISTA DE DEL SER, LA ILUMINACIÓN INTERIOR. NO SE COBRA DINERO POR EL CONOCIMIENTO ES GRATIS NO SE COMERCIA CON LAS ALMAS. ANIMO SI TU ERES UNA PERSONA BUSCADORA DEL CONOCIMIENTO ANÍMATE Conocimiento de sí mismo se basa en los pilares: Ciencia, Arte, Psicología y Mística que son las 4 columnas sobre las que se apoya el templo de la sabiduría universal. En la búsqueda del Conocimiento de sí mismo, todas las grandes culturas de la antigüedad trabajaron con estos 4 pilares en forma integrada y equilibrada. Con el correr del tiempo, los 4 pilares se divorciaron unos de otros, su esencia fue adulterada y ya no persiguieron la sabiduría fundamental. Qué es el Conocimiento de sí mismo? Conocerse a sí mismo es haber logrado la identidad con su propio Ser Divinal, saberse idéntico a su propio Espíritu, experimentar directamente la identificación entre lo conocido y lo cognoscente. Es eso lo que podemos y debemos definir como Auto-Conocimiento. Lo fundamental en la vida es llegar realmente a conocerse a sí mismo: ¿de dónde venimos, hacia dónde vamos, cuál es el objetivo de la existencia, para qué vivimos, etc., etc., etc.? Las conferencias de Conocimiento de Sí mismo se basan en el estudio profundo de estos 4 pilares con el objetivo de alcanzar la auto-realización del Ser o iluminación interior.

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: The Twister Talk
Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: The Twister Talk
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“The Twister Talk,”** on tornadoes and advances in our understanding of them, with Jeffrey Halverson, professor of geography and environmental systems at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and author of *An Introduction to Severe Storms and Hazardous Weather.* [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-twister-talk](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-twister-talk) .] Springtime brings tornado outbreaks and devastation across the United States. The good news for those of us who anxiously eye the skies: Tornado science is rapidly evolving and improving, as are the means by which we detect funnel clouds and warn of their approach. Get up to speed with what’s known about tornadoes with the help of Dr. Jeffery Halverson, a severe storm expert with the *Washington Post* Capital Weather Gang who previously has given excellent Profs and Pints talks on hurricanes and snowstorms. He’ll describe how, with the help of research conducted by tornado hunters, meteorologists are using ever more sophisticated computer simulations and datasets to try to “crack the code” when it comes to how and where tornadoes form. We’ll look at how science teams wielding Portable Doppler Radars on small trucks are learning that tornado wind speeds are much stronger than once presumed. We’ll consider how decades of data are changing how we think about “Tornado Alley,” and we’ll review what’s known about the relationship between tornadoes and climate change. Professor Halverson will conclude by discussing the technological strides being made in terms of tornado warning and detection, and how tornado scientists are teaming up with social scientists to gain a better understanding of what leaves us vulnerable to natural hazards. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.) Image: An F5 tornado over Elie, Manitoba in June 2007 (Photo by Justin Hobson / Wikimedia Commons).

Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Doom and Dinosaurs
Profs & Pints Northern Virginia: Doom and Dinosaurs
[Profs and Pints Northern Virginia](https://www.profsandpints.com/washingtondc) presents: **“Doom and Dinosaurs,”** a look at how mass extinctions shaped the dinosaurs and what research on these events tells us about Earth life’s long-term prospects, with Ian Wilenzik, paleontologist and visiting assistant professor of biology at George Washington University. [Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-dino-doom](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/nv-dino-doom) .] Pity the poor dinosaurs. They lacked both scientific research to help deal with potential environmental catastrophes and places where they could have a beer and discuss it. You, on the other hand, have the opportunity to come to Profs and Pints to hear a fascinating talk on the impact of mass extinctions on dinosaur evolution and what research on dinosaurs tells us about biodiversity and Earth’s current biodiversity crisis. Dr. Ian Wilenzik, who has studied and taught courses on dinosaur evolution, population spread, and extinction, will leave you with a greater appreciation of the resilience of life on earth and how we’re both the product and source of biologically catastrophic events. Many of us are familiar with how a big meteor impact about 66 million years ago wiped out the Earth’s dinosaur population, leaving us only with their feathered descendants, birds. Less well known is how the Earth actually has undergone five periods of mass extinction that wiped out nearly all life, and how dinosaurs arose from one and endured another—both caused by volcanic activity—before meeting their match in the third. To ground his discussion, Dr. Wilenzik will talk about how we study mass extinctions by looking for geologic evidence of volcanic activity, meteoric blasts, and other catastrophic activity and of gaps in the fossil record after them. He’ll also discuss what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur, describing their distinct anatomical features. He’ll talk about how they and other forms of life evolved over long periods of time and were affected by extinction events. We’ll look at how the meteor-caused mass extinction that wiped out dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous paved the way for the rise of mammals and the emergence of primates, and, eventually, us. Looking ahead to future mass extinctions and what might survive them, we’ll talk about how that plant you forget to water might have the last laugh, as well as why crocodiles might be around a while. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)
