Today me, my family and the wonderful beings of my astral clan celebrate Imbolc.
About two weeks ago I shared a brief information post on what this Sabbat is.
We, my daughter and I were going to make homemade braided bread as is one of the traditions, but I have sustained an injury to my hand making this impossible but instead we will make Bannock and share our baking delights to Brigid and the soirits that will join us in the ceremony that will be conducted here in our 3D world.
Around 10pm tonight I will take part in the Imbolc ceremony with my astral clan. I love all Sabbats, but there are some that move me more than others - Ostara and Samhain...but each has a deep rooted importance and connection with the specific Goddesses of each one. My children will receive festive, warm dreams tonight.
Cernunnos came to me a few days ago reminding me of my connection with him and the Gods and of my own power, strength and of my deep survival sense no matter of the odds against me and that I am heading towards another transition cycle.
Brightest Blessings
Blessed Be,

Scientific evidence that you probably don’t have free will
George Dvorsky Jan 14, 2013
http://io9.com/5975778/scientific-evidence-that-you-probably-dont-have-free-will
Humans have debated the issue of free will for millennia. But over the past several years, while the philosophers continue to argue about the metaphysical underpinnings of human choice, an increasing number of neuroscientists have started to tackle the issue head on — quite literally. And some of them believe that their experiments reveal that our subjective experience of freedom may be nothing more than an illusion. Here's why you probably don't have free will.
Indeed, historically speaking, philosophers have had plenty to say on the matter. Their ruminations have given rise to such considerations as cosmological determinism (the notion that everything proceeds over the course of time in a predictable way, making free will impossible), indeterminism (the idea that the universe and our actions within it are random, also making free will impossible), and cosmological libertarianism/compatibilism (the suggestion that free will is logically compatible with deterministic views of the universe).
Now, while these lines of inquiry are clearly important, one cannot help but feel that they're also terribly unhelpful and inadequate. What the debate needs is some actual science — something a bit more...testable.
And indeed, this is starting to happen. As the early results of scientific brain experiments are showing, our minds appear to be making decisions before we're actually aware of them — and at times by a significant degree. It's a disturbing observation that has led some neuroscientists to conclude that we're less in control of our choices than we think — at least as far as some basic movements and tasks are concerned.
At the same time, however, not everyone is convinced. It may be a while before we can truly prove that free will is an illusion.

The Academic Gender Bias
by Kristian Marlow
written, November 24, 2012
http://www.psychologytoday.com
Although gender bias in the corporate workplace has garnered much attention from the media in recent years, the problem is pervasive throughout many other places. Many women in scientific academia will tell you they have observed or been subject to gender bias. This is particularly tragic, since the body of academic researchers is supposed to consist of those so interested in doing good work, they are willing to forgo larger industry paychecks and work late nights and long weekends from a desk in some tiny university in rural Indiana.
Naysayers often construct several arguments thought to undermine the credibility of what they believe to be anecdotal evidence for gender bias. One argument is that because the push to include more women in scientific research is only recent, there has not been enough time for hardworking academic women to rise to the top and gaining publicity for it. Many believe that we are likely to see the number of female invited speakers increase over the next few years when women have had a little more time to make more breakthroughs. Another argument is that, due to psychological difference that supervene on gender, women are less likely to be assertive and therefore simply don’t make their voices heard loud enough so that all of the men in the room listen up.
However, a new study from the University of California Davis shows that gender bias is much more concrete than often thought. Looking at the gender of academics accepted to conferences, Isbell et al. found that gender might still play a large role in the selection process. Most research on this problem has focused on how women have been represented in academic journals, finding that women tend to be less published than men. One might respond with one of the two arguments above or with an even stronger one: the selection process of most academic journals requires that the person who determines whether the article will make it through the review process is blind to the authorship of the paper. How can there be any gender bias if the reviewer doesn’t know the gender of the author? Many academics report the review process is often not as blind as it’s purported to be. Some really famous authors get published all the time despite the fact that some of their papers are uninteresting, sloppy or both.
Researchers found that women gave significantly more poster presentations than oral talks, while men gave more oral talks than poster presentations. Poster presentations are often considered to be less prestigious than oral talks. Because authors must choose whether to submit an oral talk or poster presentation, this might be a self-selective problem: perhaps women submit more posters while men submit more oral talks. Researchers then looked at symposia, events where the speaker is invited to speak on the topic of their expertise by a panel of other academics. Because symposia involve invitations, the authors ensured that the genders of the invitees were known. And because those who are invited to symposia are often the best experts a conference can get, these events are representative of what the panels consider to be authors of the best work. They studied the field of primatology, one that has consisted of mostly women for a very long time, avoiding the objection that women have just not had enough time to publish much yet.
When conference panels were made up of all women, there was no statistical difference between the percentage of female symposia speakers and the percentage of women in the field of primatology overall. In other words, the number of female speakers matched what we would expect them to be given the number of women in primatology. However, when conference panels were mixed in gender, the percentage of female invited speakers dropped slightly. And then the panels consisted completely of men, the percentage of invited speakers dropped dramatically.
The tendency for men to invite other men might be the result of homophily, where men find it easier to conduct business with men due to having similar personalities, it remains a problem nonetheless. Not only does the unfairness of gender bias greatly affect both its victims and perpetrators, it can undermine the quality of work that is produced. How would our understanding of radiation be different if Marie Curie had been rejected at the time merely because she was a woman? If we truly desire the highest quality of research, we work to actively undermine gender biases in order to allow more intelligent individuals to contribute to our growing body of knowledge.
Kristian Marlow, M.A., is a graduate student studying philosophy and cognitive science at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. His current research interests include philosophy of mind, perception, synesthesia, and the effects of psychoactive drugs. He is currently co-authoring a book with philosopher and neuroscientists Berit Brogaard based in part on the extraordinary discoveries made in the St. Louis Synesthesia Lab, where he is Associate Director.

As energies are amplified on the Earth plane, many are awakening to moments from their past that are still crying out for healing and release. These moments have always called to you, but with veils between timeframe dimensions dissolving, it is easier to hear them now. As you become more aware, you may feel troubled and even haunted by them. This is especially true if you are uncertain how to assist these younger aspects of yourself trapped in ‘time.’
It is possible to time travel into the past and commune with past selves. It’s through this communion that you’re able to bring about healing and greater understanding among younger ‘child’ aspects of yourself. This healing not only assists your past, but extends into your present moment as well.
Approaching a Past Self
It’s important to approach a past self from a place of understanding and forgiveness. From the point of power of your present-moment self, you can have compassion for a "you" whose attention is focused in a different place on the time/space continuum. This version of yourself may seem less knowing once your consciousness expands. Know that this past self did the best it could, taking steps in whatever way it could within its own timeframe to contribute to your present-day consciousness. From this perspective, it is easy to forgive your past self for anything it created from a place of misunderstanding. Own this past self and love it. Express gratitude for how it has helped you become who you are.
As you come to appreciate your past, you can time travel to meet a past self in need and begin working with it to fulfill your life purpose. Imagine your present-moment self serving as a loving guide for your self of the past. All this and more is possible.
The Importance of Honoring and Assisting Your Past Selves
As lightworkers, you have taken many steps on your spiritual path in recent years. You have progressed rapidly, so much so that in some cases it may feel as if your self of five years ago belongs to another lifetime entirely! It was important for you to move ahead rapidly, to take bold steps toward greater alignment with spirit. But as you grow, it is equally as important to honor and assist the architect and creator of your present moment. That is your past self. The fact that you are reading this says you are making efforts along your spiritual path. It also speaks to the efforts of your past self, which moved you toward the rapid spiritual growth you are now experiencing. Your past self set conscious intentions and began the process of allowing your highest good well before you became the consciousness that is your present-moment self.
Traveling in Consciousness to Meet a Past Self
The best times to approach a past self are times when this self is in nature, near water, or in quiet moments of contemplation, solitude and silence. Approach this self at the point where it began to open to the subtle energies of guides and angels. Your intuition will guide you to the place where your past self is most receptive to your energy. Enter the highest vibration you can access, then radiate a great light around you and include your past self in this light. It is possible to transmit thoughtforms in this communion. Your present moment can serve as a portal into the future, revealing a vision of the future to your past self. (This is one form of timeline bleedthrough).
Cultivating a Telepathic Communion with a Past Self
As your past self becomes more receptive to this communion, expanding in awareness to embrace it, you can become very telepathic in your communications.
Anytime you wish to do so, you can commune with your past self, expressing gratitude for its efforts, which allow you to exist as you do within your present moment. Offer words of encouragement to this self, letting it know it is on the right track with its efforts. Your past self needs to know the seeds it’s planting are creating a future consciousness capable of traveling back to assist it. Let it know you are ready and available to assist in any way possible. Let it know that as it takes steps toward creating a higher future, you become more able to reach back to assist it.
Extending Love and Wholeness to Others
Traveling back to meet your past self will open doorways of possibility you have not yet imagined. This will awaken your past self to possibilities and open a time travel portal either of you can access at anytime. This inner communion opens doorways that give you a greater sense of self-love and wholeness. It is from this sense of love and wholeness that you are able to reach out to others and assist them with the same loving guidance you offer your past self. By holding this vibration of wholeness, you create an energetic field others can access in their own journey of self-realization.

Some researchers were studying a newly found tribe in New Guinea. The neighboring tribes were fierce and warlike, and constantly battling each other. But this particular tribe never waged war or fought other tribes. The researchers were puzzled by this, but every time they asked why this is so, or how the tribe deals with enemies or people they hate, the tribespeople simply answered:
"This is how we have always done it, so this is the way it is done".
For months the researchers tried to get more of an answer but always it was the same response.
On the night before they were due to return home, the tribe organized a huge ceremonial feast. After everybody had eaten their fill, the researchers were surprised when a grizzly old tribal elder who had always been silent with them, stood up, spat out his betel nut, cleared his throat and said to them:
"Thank you for sharing so much knowledge of your world with us. In return, I would like to share some of our knowledge, and hope you will also learn something from us in return:
"We have no word for 'hate' or 'enemy' like you do. In our language, the word we use means 'loved before and again'. This way we remember that even if we are angry with somebody, this state will pass. They were somebody we loved before, and somebody will still love after the anger dies. Because of this we do not fight or wage war"
The researchers were stunned. After contemplating the man's words for a while, the lead researcher replied:
"Thank you, wise elder, for sharing your words. In our country, people are rich in possessions, but poor in the heart. They care more for what people think of them, than they care about treating others kindly. And they care more for their possessions than for other people. But possessions give rise to jealousy, competitiveness & hatred. Only when we learn like you, to remember to always love each other, will our people become happier"
The old man thought about this as everybody waited in silence. Finally, he said: "You speak just like one of our tribe, which shows that we share a common bond. This is the bond of humanity, which is how we see all people. You can return to your country, but remember that you will always be loved before and again."

Sick! Child Porn Legal?!?!
Ok. Could someone fix this title and fix our laws! The person may or may not have been viewing child pornography, yet either way No One Should Decide Its LEGAL! Let alone write it. There is nothing Legal about seeing children naked and/or having intercourse on the internet or any where else whether it be forced or voluntary. If you are an “adult”, over the age of 18 in most parts of the world, then that is your business. All I hear is respect, dignity and integrity. The title only gives sick people the excuse to continue being sick if not even more sick.
Mind you, those of you who look at child pornography you are only creating it to come back to you. And God help you too if you have children one day or at present. For it may be your children who are on the internet. And Im sure the shoe wont feel as comfortable being worn on the other foot.
Also, for those of you who make these images available for others to view. Shame! And for those of you who voluntarily commit these act and are under the age of 18, Please think twice!
Moms, Dads, Caretakers, Guardians, Families of these young beings, these youths, our future, please take care of them and teach them self respect and how to care about and love themselves. It makes no sense for our children to be displayed in public view in this manner.
Some things should be strictly for adults and not for children to have access to. This is what we should protect. And also support sites that empower children and not degrade them. Maybe if people reported these sites instead of view them we could be saving hundreds of children who are bullied, vulnerable, abused, kidnapped(child trafficking), helpless and victims to societies sickness.
Yes! Society is sick not to say anything and view it. If an elderly person fell would you help them? If you saw your neighbors child naked on the internet would you ignore it? We do not all have to follow the ways of a sick society. Why not be the change and create a healthy one instead.

ASHTAR
Channeled Through Janisel
My Dearest Friends.... I come to assure you that things are as they should be. There are great amounts of energy bombarding your Earth at this time and everything is being greatly accelerated. NOW is the time for 'focus'. You who are the bridges between Heaven and Earth are the 'hands and feet' of the Command, so to speak. It is through you that much of our work is done. As I said, much has been accelerated and, although we wish you to remain in a state of joy and lightheartedness, it is now time to put your 'work' in its proper perspective and concentrate on the mission at hand. We are working very diligently to gather the Lightworkers together in order to prepare the general population for what is to come.
This means that each and every one of you are needed at this time to make a commitment in your own heart as to what role you will play in this. In other words, it is time to get serious. We are not asking you to give your lives over to the Ashtar Command exclusively, for you each have many missions and sub-missions that you are here to accomplish. What we are asking, however, is that for those of you who feel your connection to us to band together, so to speak, in order to establish and implement certain 'activities' towards the goals which have been set before us. You have shown that you can do this numerous times, such as in the planting of the crystals and the activation of the grid. This was an excellent example of the Unity we wish for you to achieve, and our heartfelt thanks go to all of you who have participated in this project. Rest assured there will be other projects we will ask you to work on. For the time being, we are asking you to continue in this Unity, and stay focused on the tasks at hand.
Do not let yourselves become 'bogged down' in the mundane affairs of your day-to-day activities. We wish for those of you who are aligned with the Command and its work to use this wonderful email forum to interact with each other in manifesting this bond of Unity. You are held within the gentle hand of All That Is and encircled with the energy of Unconditional Love of such depths that your present consciousness can not truly comprehend its magnitude. We of the Command and the Spiritual Hierarchy are working most diligently to help you and all mankind reach their full potential. As a 'return energy exchange', we ask each of you to now search your hearts and decide what it is that you are capable and willing to do in partnership with us. For you see, we are truly in a partnership in which each and every one must play their part. NOW is the time to begin. NOW is the time to decide your focus.
NOW is the time to dedicate yourselves to the work at hand. We need your hands, we need your feet, we need your voice, we ask your commitment. To paraphrase the words of The Most Radiant One, spoken so long ago, "it is time to be about the Father's business". There is no longer the luxury of time to be spent in petty pursuits, bickering, judgment, or anger. Your time, which we have worked towards for eons, is at hand. Know that, even though you may not see us in your skies, we are most definitely close to you, and send you our deepest blessings and love.
Your Friend and Brother,
Ashtar

Count you your blessings............ If Earths population was shrunk into a village of just 100 people--- with all the human ratios in the world still existing--- what would this tiny, diverse village look like? That's exactly what Phillip M. Harter, a medical doctor at the Stanford University School of Medicine, attempted to figure out. This is what he found: 57 would be asian 21would be european 14would be from the Western hemisphere 8 would be african 52 would be female 48 would be male 70 would be nonwhite 30 would be white 70 would be non-christian 30 would be christian 89 would be heterosexual 11 would be homosexual 6people would possess 59% otf the entir worlds wealth, and all 6 would be from the U.S. 80would live in substandard housing 70would be unable to read 50 would suffer from malnutrition 1 would be near death 1would be pregnant 1 would have a college education 1 would own a computer The following is an anonymous interpretation: Think of it this way. If you live in a good home, have plenty to eat and can read, you are a member of a very select group. And if you have a good house, food, can read and have a computer you are among the very elite. If you woke up with more haelth than illness... you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week. If you never experienced the danger of battle, the lonliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the prangs of starvation.. you are ahead of 500 million people in the world. If you can attend a church meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death... you are fortunate, mare than 3 billion people in the world can't. If you have food in the frigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep... you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace... you are among the top 8% of the worlds wealthy. If your parents are still alive and still married... you are very rare, even in the U.S. If you can hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankfull... you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not. If you can hold someones hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder you are blessed because you can offer healing touch. If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over 2 billion people in the world that cannot read at all. Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are

I have been studying aboriginal spiritualism's from about the age of 7 including living close to a branch of the Kaw American Aboriginals in eastern Kansas where I grew up. I was first introduced to the Mayan math and calender systems around the age of 13 in 1970. My name as roughly translated from the Tzolkin is 6-White Wind Magic Breath doubled. In 1968 I was taken to Tibet by my step-father and introduced to the Dali Lama and stayed in touch for several months to study. I for many years considered myself to be theologicly Catholic by relating to my mothers family until around 1990 after a Dream Vision. For a while I considered my core spiritual theology to be Native American/Mayan of the year 535AD. By the mid 90's I remembered my knowledge of Buddhism and began to remember what I was taught about Buddhism and started practicing what I was taught. Today I consider myself to be a practicing Zen Buddhist spiritualist who uses the Mayan calenders and math to decipher things universal in life.
The Mayan date that falls on 12/21/2012 is the end and the beginning of the 26,000 Earth year cycle of galactic alignment of the Earth, Sun & Moon with the super massive black hole in the center of our galaxy inside the galactic plane. This day of alignment starts and ends this great cycle. Also on this day is the conclusion of our solar systems 360 degree circuit around the outer galactic circumference that takes about 63 million years and started actually on the day the asteroid wiped out most of the reptilian species on this Earth. The Maya consider this important because the 63 million year ago asteroid is what began the advancement of the mammalian species on Earth. Mayan cosmology suggests that evolutionary processes are universal and mathematically calculable precisely. Humanoids traditionally make several attempts to become fully civilized and traditionally set themselves back often until the 5th try. 5 cycles of 260 generations to fulfill the required galactic accumulation of experience and knowledge. That is the full meaning of this date we are about to witness.
In Sanskrit (pointed out to me by a Mayan theologist before I understood what it was in reference to) The Maya are advanced spiritual beings who's sole purpose in this universe is to serve living planets by informing it's inhabitants by reincarnating into their societies and educating them according to their levels of advancement. Being drawn to the Earth by the Christ consciousness they (we) came to work. However finding the dark Roman based societies over bearing and in the control of powerful evil entities it was sufficed to build stone records and leave to help more worthy beings until the end of this important cycle today. So, they (we) are back and armed for bear!
There are many different intelligent and advanced species in the Universe and our Galaxy. Many have varied vested negative and positive interests in our Earth and us and have many times came and went. There now seems to be a battle going on at this time to free the Earth humans from material bondage and allow them (us) Ascension. Some of these beings intervened to take away our rights as intelligent loving beings in the past and enslaved the Earth humans for personal purposes. Because of this realization other more friendly intelligent beings have decided to re-intervene and remove the en-slavers and return the Earth to it's rightful owners in peace and prosperity just in time for the universally encoded time of Ascension for a living planet.
I think this is a good summary of what is going on in my perspective, my purpose as a Mayan Cosmologist is to live in, comprehend and record for the Universal Consciousness this incredible and all important time of planetary evolution taking place right now on the Earth.
Have a wonderful day, Rusty

Modern Science vis-à-vis Vihangam Yoga
Modern Science believes in objects perceived by sense organs with or without the help of various gadgets. Human sense organs are bound by severe limitations. The eyes and ears can see and hear only within a limited spectrum. We do know that an eagle's eye or a dog's ears can see or hear beyond human capabilities. This holds good for other sense organs like those of smell, taste or touch. With the help instruments, which are being invented from time to time, man has been able to extend his perception beyond natural human mind and intellect have also made deductions from certain phenomena occurring in the world. This has led to formulation of many hypotheses from time to time. These hypotheses have been changing since the dawn of civilization and will keep on changing till man is able to realize the truth. The modem scientists have observed that the universe is continuously expanding and this expansion is thought to be due to the process of creation of the universe. The scientists say that the universe will ultimately cease to expand and then the gravitational force will play its role to reduce it again to a cosmic egg. Interestingly, the scientists have put forward the theory of oscillating universe, which states that the cycles of creation and, dissolution will continue endlessly, a well-known Indian concept. What they call 'Cosmic egg' has been termed by the ancient Indian seers as Mool Prakriti(nature), which is said to be composed of three basic substances, via Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas. These three substances combine in different proportions during creation giving rise to a variety of physical objects. This is analogous to the scientific knowledge that the atoms, which the physical objects are composed of, consist of three fundamental particles known as electrons, protons and neutrons and atoms of one object differ from those of the other only in the number and combination of these fundamental particles.
According to modem science the basic forces are three, viz. gravitational, electromagnetic and nuclear, which cause motion in particles and bodies and determine the inter relation among them. What is the origin of these forces? What is that which causes explosion in the cosmic egg? Is there a ruling power, which regulates the movement of stars and the galaxies in this universe whose vastness could be imagined by the fact that light, traveling at the speed of three hundred thousand kilometers per second, has not yet reached our earth, from many of the stars? The scientists have no answer to these questions.
Our sages of vote have discovered answers to these queries. The technique they employed was basically different from that used by the scientists. Unlike the scientists, they neither attempted to develop equipments to bring the universe within the perceiving powers of their sense organs, nor did they invent super computers powerful enough to aid their mental faculties. On the contrary, the ancient spiritualists mastered a technique of withdrawing the flow of consciousness from the senses, mind, and intellect and thus realized the pure conscious form of their real selves. The pure conscious form of an individual is called Atma or the Self, and the state in which it that the Atma(soul) is realized is called Samadhi. They discovered that Atma(the soul) when freed from the bondage of body and mind has great potential power much beyond the concept of modem science. The knowledge gained after dissociating the conscious self from the phenomenal world in the state of Samadhi was verified over and over again for a long span of time by a number of great seers, called Rishis(saint). They handed down their observations to their followers, generation after generation. These observations are codified in the four Vedas and they have not been improved upon or falsified by modem scientists. In fact, the more the science progresses, the more does it come nearer to the recordings in the Vedas. The Vedic Rishis experienced during their Samadhi, a primordial Being, supremely conscious and superbly blissful. It is called Parama Akshara, Parama Brahma or Paramatma(god). When the Atma(soul) unites itself with the Paramatma(god), it is able to imbibe the qualities of Paramatma(god). An iron ball put in the fire of a furnace becomes a glowing red mass of fire itself. Similarly, when the finitely conscious Atma merges with the infinitely conscious Paramatma, it becomes an all-knowing entity and thus acquires the complete knowledge of the entire existence. The technique of achieving the union of Atma and Paramatma is called Yoga in the Vedic sense of the term (yoga literally means union). To distinguish it from various prevalent physical, mental and spiritual practices, which also go by the name of Yoga, the Vedic yoga is called Vihangam Yoga or Sahaja Yoga. It was this yoga that Lord Krishna taught to Arjuna in the celebrated work Bhagwad Gita during the Mahabharata period, some five thousand years ago. This has called Brahma Vidya in the Gita and the Upanishads. The divine knowledge of Vihangam Yoga disappeared gradually after the Mahabharata period. The real mystic saint, Kabir, revived it more than five hundred years ago. In recent times the great Swami Sadafal Deoji Maharaj of village Pakri of Ballia District of U.P rediscovered it. The entire knowledge that he gained in the state, of Samadhi of Vihangam Yoga has been described fully and systematically by him in his unique spiritual work SWARVEDA, a book of poems describing all aspects of spiritual practice in simple language. A detailed commentary has been written by his successor and son, Acharya Dharam Chandra Deoji Maharaj, and had been published from Adhyatmic Yantralaya, Garhwar, District Ballia, U.P. The Vihangam yogis of today are verifying the experiences described therein just in the same way as was done during the Vedic period.
The Six Fundamental Entities The basic eternal existences are six in number. They are, Paramatma or Parama Purusha (the Supreme Being), Akshara Brahma (the Cosmic Executor), Atma (the Soul), Nitya Anadi Sadguru (the Eternal Spiritual Guide), Prakriti (Nature) and Kala (Time concept). As they are eternal, there was never a time when they did not exist and there will never be a time when they will cease to exist, and thus they have no beginning and no end. The first four of the above entities are- conscious or sentient while the last two, viz. Prakriti and Kala are insentient. The conscious beings are those, which possess the faculties of knowledge, desire and action. Of the two insentient entities, devoid of these faculties, Prakriti(nature) is inert and Kala is neither conscious nor inert. The forms and characteristics of the six eternal entities have been described in detail in the great spiritual work 'SWARVEDA' of Sadguru Sri Sadafal Deoji Maharaj. A brief description of each of these entities is presented.
1. The Supreme, Being (Parama Purusha) The supreme - Being (Parama Purusha) is omniscient, omnipotent and the base of everything that exists. He is also known as Supreme Soul (Paramatma), Supreme Brahma (Para Brahma), and Supreme Word (Sar Shabda) and by various other names. He has been described as Sat-chit-ananda i.e. one who is eternally existent, infinitely conscious and supremely blissful. He is the subtlest of all the subtle and pervades every substance, every soul and the entire universe. He is the internal soul of all the souls. The universe exists in only one-fourth of Him. The remaining three-fourths is pure nectarine bliss. He is eternal, unchangeable and inexpressible. He has been called the Supreme Word or the Unique Light in the
Vedas. He is the Lord, the Support, the illuminer, the Regulator and the Witness of each and every activity in the universe.
2. Cosmic Executor (Akshara Brahma) That which creates, sustains and dissolves the universe is Akshara Brahma. All the physical forces as well as mind and Pranas (the life forces) originate form Akshara Brahma. Scientifically speaking the Akshara Brahma, which is responsible for 'big bang' in the 'cosmic egg' from which the process of creation starts. The motion in particles is imparted by it. As a matter of fact, all the activities in the world are solely due to it. It is thus the preserver of the world. When the Akshara Brahma withdraws its forces, all the motions cease and the universe collapses to a point, the cosmic egg of modem science. That is what we call dissolution. Like the Supreme Being, it is also eternal unchangeable and pervades the whole universe.
It functions under the command of the Supreme Being and is and is confined to one-fourth of Him, where the creation, regulation and dissolution of the universe take place.
3. Soul (Atma) There is only one Supreme Brahma. There is only one Akshara Brahma as well. But the- souls are innumerable. Though bliss is not the intrinsic quality of a Soul, it possesses the other two qualities like those of the Supreme Being, viz. eternal existence and consciousness. However, there are two, basic differences between the two. Firstly, the consciousness of a soul is limited whereas that of the Supreme Soul is unlimited. Secondly, while the Paramatma remains in one and the same form with its consciousness not undergoing any change, the consciousness of a soul attains different levels in the six states it is known to exist. The six states in one of which a soul exists are Hansa Deha (super-conscious state), Kaivalya Deha (conscious state), Mahakarana Deha (prime causal state), Karana Deha (causal state), Sukshma Deha (subtle body) and Sthoola Deha (gross body).
The Atma is capable of associating itself with Paramatma. In the association of Paramatma the soul's consciousness increases infinitely and at the same time it is a supreme bliss of His. It thus acquires all the qualities of Supreme Being. This is the super conscious state of Atma. In this state there is likelihood that a soul may delude itself to be identical with the Supreme Being. This deluded state of the soul is called its Kaivalya state. A soul is always a soul it never becomes Brahma. A piece of iron fallen in fire
becomes red and starts glowing like it. But soon as it is taken out of fire, it gradually loses its qualities of fire and becomes an iron piece again. Kaivalya state meets with a similar fate. As soon as the ego of I am Brahma crops up in the soul, it no longer cares to remain in the zone of nectarine bliss and tends to move towards the zone of creation. When this tendency becomes firm, the soul is said to be in the prime causal state, and finally when it actually enters the zone of creation, it attains the causal state. When it wishes to enjoy worldly pleasures, it acquires a subtle body, which enters into the mother's womb through male and female union and comes out in the manifested world in a gross body. The gross body is equipped with five sense organs (viz. ears, skin, eyes, tongue and nose) to receive sensations of sound, touch, form, taste and odour and five organs of actions (viz. tongue, hands, feet, genital and anus) to perform the functions of speech, grasp, motion, reproduction and excretion. In addition, there are four inner organs, viz. mind, intellect, Chitta and ego. Of these fourteen organs mind is the most important, since it activates and controls all other organs it is the mind through which the consciousness of the soul flows in different organs of the body. The intellect is endowed with discriminating power. The memories of past actions and various desires and tendencies of the soul are impressed on the Chitta. The ego is responsible for the constant feeling of 'I am the doer' in all actions that one performs. To provide energy to the body and its-various organs for their proper functioning, five life forces, called pranas act incessantly in the body. These life forces are Prana (respiration), Vyana (blood circulation), Samana (digestion), Apana (excretion) and Udana. The last one provides the energy for transplanting the subtle body in the mother's womb and also for separating the, subtle body from the gross body at the end of life. The five Pranas as well as the ten outer organs and four inner organs are all present in the subtle body in seed form. The gross body passes through the stages of birth, childhood, adolescence, youth, senility and death. 'The death', is the separation of the subtle body from the gross body. In the gross body the soul experiences the different worldly pleasures, which are short lived and invariably followed by misery. It goes through the cycle of love and hate, love for the pleasurable objects and hate for those, which give pain. It indulges itself in various actions to fulfill its desires. Each desire feeds and multiples on other desires. The Atma in the subtle body takes another birth in one of the millions of species depending on the desires and tendencies of the previous lives imprinted on the Chitta. The process is repeated ad infinitum and the soul finds itself shackled in the endless chain of births and deaths. The soul forgets its real nature and identifies itself with its body. When it finds the miseries of its unbearable and craves to find a way out, another, conscious entity, the Eternal Sadguru, begins to guide him on the path of salvation.
4. The Eternal Sadguru The Eternal Sadguru is the messenger of Paramatma. Brahma Vidya (the Divine Wisdom) emanates from Him and he is the Lord of the spiritual domain. In the beginning of the creation, he is sent by the Supreme Being into the world with the light of spiritual knowledge. His only mission is to awaken the suffering souls of the world from the sleepy state of ignorance by shedding upon them the divine light. He liberates the craving and deserving souls from the bondage of Prakriti and enables them to enjoy the nectarine bliss of the Supreme Being. When the current of the spiritual knowledge of the Eternal Guru flows in the soul of a human being, the status of Rishi or Maharishi is attained. The knowledge of Brahma Vidya or Vihangam Yoga, which is found in the Veda the Upanishads, and other holy books is solely due to him. He has been addressed as Sukrit Deo, Atri, Jyoti, Aj and the Sanatan in the Vedas. He has also been mentioned in the Upanishads as Amanava Purusha (Super human being). The Eternal Sadguru sermonizes the spiritual practitioners and the real devotees in his manifested or un-manifested form. He can take a human form when he wills. When humans become too much engrossed in the, allurements of Prakriti and tend to deviate from the true path, of spiritualism, the Eternal Sadguru appears in the world in a human form to salvage the souls. Sometimes he inspires a liberated soul to take a human form and propagate the divine knowledge of Vihangam Yoga. Such a great soul possesses full spiritual knowledge right from his birth and is called a Swayam Siddha Sadguru. Sometimes the Eternal Guru appears before an industrious yogi and guides him to perfection. Such a great yogi is granted the authority to act as a Sadguru. Such a Sadguru is called the Abhyasa Sadguru. There is only one Sadguru at one period of time that carries the authority of the Eternal Sadguru to propagate Brahma Vidya (Vihangam Yoga or Sahaja Yoga). Once a soul has been authorized by the Eternal Sadguru to act as a world preceptor (Jagadguru), he can hand over the science of Brahma Vidya and the authority to propagate it to his progeny or any other deserving disciple. Such a Sadguru is called the Parampara Sadguru. This science of Brahma Vidya can thus be propagated generation after generation, even though the science is one and the way of attainment is also one that has been taught and authorized by the Eternal Sadguru. The knowledge of the phenomenal world, the various sciences and arts of the world, are being taught by different teachers who gain their knowledge from books or experiences with the help of different scientific Instruments. The knowledge so acquired is related to the material universe and the senses. Brahma Vidya or Yoga is knowledge beyond the senses and cannot be studied from books or from a Guru who has not been given the authority by the Eternal Sadguru. This stream of knowledge flows from the Eternal Sadguru through the Sadguru only. Nobody can proclaim himself a, Sadguru by dint of his vast erudition or knowledge of scriptures. The scriptures only hint at the path of righteousness, but they cannot lift up a soul to liberation from the bondage of Prakriti. For this a Sadguru is essential. He uses his soul force to elevate the aspiring soul beyond Prakriti. It is then only that the Yoga Practitioner realises his true self (Atma). The Atma only in its true detached form is capable of real worship of the Supreme Soul (Bhajan). By assiduous worship (Bhajan), the Atma gets united to the Paramatma, the ultimate aim of yoga. Since the worship of the formless Paramatma is not practical, devotion to the Sadguru is the only way to achieve the ultimate goal. The Sadguru has no worldly desires, has nothing to get from the disciple, and hence he comes to the world to fulfill his mission of helping the aspirant to choose the correct path and then guide him through the practice of yoga. The problem, which arises, is that of meeting the Sadguru. For that there must be a burning desire to get liberation from the worldly bondage (vairagya). Those who seek gratification of the senses can never turn in this direction. Once the desire for liberation is kindled, one seeks a Sadguru. In one's search one may come across a number of half- baked Gurus who teach some kind of mental relaxation, which does give some mental peace but nothing beyond that. Having attained some tranquility one gets stuck up. The Guru is unable to take the disciple beyond that. Some self-proclaimed Gurus who can show some miracles, which are mostly sleight of hand, impress people and get recognition. There are others who are well versed in scriptures and get a good following by dint of their erudition. The soul force of the Sadguru is utterly lacking in them. They lead the disciples astray resulting ultimately in disappointment. Some cheat posing as Gurus, make a business out of Gurudom. With an increasing number of such Gurus, the aspirant may face some difficulty in finding the Sadguru, but will ultimately find him if he has a burning desire. The Sadguru himself looks for deserving and seeking Atmas. There is then a meeting of souls and the Sadguru is glad to lead such souls to their ultimate goal. The aspirant may not recognize the Sadguru but the Sadguru might have instructed him in the science of Brahma Vidya in his previous lives. The Sadguru can easily recognize such souls and gladly guides them to further heights. It is futile to ask the Sadguru for material achievements because that is not a function of the Sadguru. He is there to guide the souls to reach the Supreme Soul, the abode of eternal bliss.
5. NATURE (Prakriti)
All the insentient objects in the universe are composed of one basic substance called Nature or Prakriti. Prakriti Maya and Paramanu is synonymous. Prakriti consists of three gunas - Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, whose characteristics are illumination, activity and inertia or sluggishness respectively. Guna (in the context of Prakriti) means constituent and not attribute as called by some authors. The three gunas or constituents of Prakriti are basic substances, which do not exist independently when there is no creation, nature or Prakriti exists in its seed (or cosmic egg) form, which is called Mool Prakriti. In Mool Prakriti the three gunas
remain in balance and do not interact. The creation starts with the vibration in the Mool Prakriti. As a result of the vibration, the gunas of Prakriti combine in different proportions to give, rise to a variety of substances. Each guna is present in active or dormant form in all the substances created. The gunas of Prakriti are analogous with the fundamental particles of atom. According to science, all the physical substances are made up of atoms consisting of electrons, protons and neutrons in specific numbers. The properties of the fundamental particles are similar to those of gunas. Furthermore, the creation of universe a result of a 'big bang' in the cosmic egg, and the theory of oscillating universe propounded by modem science, is strikingly similar to the views of great Indian seers. While modem science is ignorant as to the agency responsible for 'big bang' in the cosmic egg, the Indian Rishis say that it is the Akshara Brahma who imparts vibration in Mool Prakriti and thus starts the creation of the universe. In the process of creation, five basic elements are first created. They are Akasha (space), Vayu (air), Agni (fire), Jala (water) and Prithivi (earth). They are listed here in their decreasing order of subtleness and their respective qualities are sound (Shabda), touch (Sparsba), form (Roopa), taste (Rasa) and smell (Gandha). All objects are made of these five subtle elements. Our five senses are created to receive the five different sensations of the five basic elements. All parts of our bodies are manifestations of Prakriti, except mind and Pranas, which originate from Akshara Brahma.
6. Time (Kala)
Given two events, we can always say whether one of them occurred earlier, later or simultaneously. The concept, on which the chronological order of events is based, is called Kala (Time). Time is an abstract entity and is conceived only through the changes that take, place around us. The Prakriti (Nature) undergoes a continuous transformation or change right from the moment of the creation of the universe till its dissolution. These changes indicate the incessant flow of time. Even during the dissolution when no change, whatever, occurs, time does not cease to exist. Like all other conscious and inert objects, time concept also rests with the Supreme Being who decides the duration of the dissolution based on this concept alone. Time is thus an eternal entity. Among the nine kinds of elements mentioned in his Vaisesika System, the great Seer Kanada has postulated time as a substance. Kala Shukta finds mention in Atharva Veda. It is time under whose fold the galaxies are mobile and the entire universe is cycling. Time is neither conscious nor inert. Still years throughout the world, more as a means to promote the entire zone of creation is ruled by it. The birth and death, inhalation and exhalation and all the experiences of pleasure and pain occur in the domain of time. The soul becomes free from the wheel of time only when it is liberated from the bondage of Prakriti by the technique of Vihangam Yoga under the guidance of a Sadguru.
Essence of Vihangam Yoga
Yoga has been gaining recognition and popularity in recent time under whose fold healthy living rather than spiritual attainment. To this end a number of Indian yogis are engaged in teaching yogic exercises such as Asanas and Pranayama. Some forms of meditations and other practices of very recent origins are also being taught in the name of yoga. Hatha Yoga, Mantra Yoga, Laya Yoga and Raja Yoga is some of the various kinds of yoga, which are popular in India. These are physical or Prakritic(natural) Yogas. They are practiced at the physical level of body, mind, intellect and Pranas and develop their powers appreciably. The ultimate aim of yoga as propounded in the Vedas and the Upanishads is to unite the individual soul (Atma) with the Supreme Soul (Paramatma). This highest form of yoga is called Vihangam Yoga or Brahma Vidya. The knowledge of Vihangam Yoga had disappeared for the last five hundred years and was revived by Sadguru Swami Sadafal Deoji Maharaj in the first half of last century. The literal meaning of the word 'Yoga' is union. Vihangam Yoga is defined as the union of Atma(soul) with Paramatma(god). This union is achieved after Atma frees itself from the shackles of the mind and intellect and attains its pure conscious state. The Supreme Soul is a purely conscious entity and is beyond the reach of the mind and intellect. The mind and intellect are inert by themselves and are activated by the consciousness of the soul. An inert object cannot reach a conscious entity, far less unite with or merge in it. Therefore, the physical yoga’s cannot reach the ideal of Vihangam Yoga. Vihangam means a bird. As a bird floats in the air overcoming the gravitational force of the earth, so does the consciousness of the Atma float in the limitless space of pure consciousness leaving behind its physical base i.e. body, mind and intellect. The cessation of mental activities has been defined as Yoga Patanjali. This is the definition of Raja Yoga, prominent among the physical yoga’s. Raja Yoga preludes to Vihangam Yoga. In other words, Vihangam Yoga begins where Raja Yoga ends. Maharishi Patanjali in his Yoga Darshan has described eight limbs of yoga.
They are (1) Yama, (2)Niyama (3)Asana (4)Pranayama (5) Pratyahara (6)Dharana (7)Dhyana and (8) Samadhi.
1. Yama: It is a self-imposed code of good conduct in one's relation to other beings in general and to the human society in particular. It includes Ahimsa (not to hurt anybody thoughts, words or deeds), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (not to usurp anybody's property), Brahma Charya (celibacy in thoughts and deeds) and Aparigraba (not to hoard things beyond one's needs).
2. Niyama: It is concerned with purification of one's body and self. It includes Shoucba (external and internal cleanliness), Santosha (contentment), Tapa (religious austerity), Swadhyaya (study of scriptures) and Ishwar Pranidhana (devotion and surrender to the Almighty). 3. Asanas: These are various yogic postures, which help to keep the body supple and strong. They include the different Bandhs and Mudras, which keep the internal organs toned up, and help in concentration of mind.
4. Pranayama: These are practices involving regulation of breath. These enhance the performance of the respiratory and circulatory systems and help to control the mind.
5. Pratyahara: It is withdrawal of sense organs from the sense objects.
6. Dharana: Concentration at a particular point to the exclusion of any other object.
7. Dhyana: It means meditation with unbroken attention on the object of concentration.
8. Samadhi: It is the complete absorption of one's self in the object of meditation. Here there is complete absence of one's identity, which has merged in its goal. In the highest stage of Raja Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga (eight-limbed yoga) of Patanjali, that is Samadhi, the cessation of all mental activities is achieved. Thus it does not reach the ultimate aim of yoga viz. the union of the individual self with the Supreme Self. This is achieved through Samadhi of Vihangam Yoga only. In Vihangam Yoga the mind is lifted to its source, the Akshara Brahma where it is permanently quietened, just like a river losing its identity in the ocean. Once the soul is freed from bondage of the mind, it realises its true nature and stops identifying itself with the human body. In fact, the soul then acts as the master and guides the mind and the body in the way it likes. Having realized the futility of worldly pleasures, derived through the sense organs and their objects, it soars higher in search of the Absolute Bliss (Paramananda). It is then only that the real meditation of Vihangam Yoga starts, terminating in Samadhi, the ultimate aim of Yoga of meeting with the Supreme Soul. In this state the soul has attained liberation while residing in the body itself (Jivanmukti). As already stated in the previous chapter, Atma, in the association of Paramatma, assumes all His qualities. In this state if it develops egotism and identifies itself with the Paramatma, it meets with its downfall to the zone of Prakriti, degrading itself successively to the states of Kaivalya, Mahakarana, Karana, Sukshma, and lastly to the gross body. Once the Atma takes on a body it has to perform actions in thoughts, words or deeds. The various actions performed by the soul through mind and other bodily organs, bear fruits and lead to the cycle of births and deaths. The law of Karma (action) is inevitable. Whatever action is done has to bare fruit, if not in this life, in the lives to come. Karma has been classified as Sanchita (hoarded), Prarabdha (actions motivating the present life) and Kriyamana (actions performed in the present life). Sanchita Karmas are actions performed in previous lives, which have accumulated and will produce results in the future lives. Prarabdha Karmas are those actions, which are destined to bear fruits in this life. Kriyamana Karmas will necessarily produce their effects in due course of time. The law of karma explains many enigmas of life. Why is a person born with a silver spoon in his mouth while another under tragic circumstances? Why should two persons born of the same parents and reared under identical conditions shape so differently in life? Why should the newborn children behave differently? Why should two identical twins possess different natures? It is because the different souls in the different bodies have to reap the fruits of actions performed by them in previous lives. There is no escape from that. There is nothing, which happens by chance.
The orderly way in which the vast universe is run cannot simply be a matter of chance or independent happenings. The Supreme Soul is the great co-coordinator and judge who preside over all happenings in this world and beyond. The three Gunas of Prakriti-Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas bound the soul to worldly action. The more engrossed it becomes in Prakriti, the less it realises its true nature and its identity separate from the mind and the body. The deluded soul wanders from one birth to another propelled by the three Gunas of Prakriti and the law of Karma. As soon as there is a burning desire in the self to get liberated from worldly bondage and it submits in all humility to the Sadguru, the reverse journey of the soul towards its real abode starts. By the yogic practices under the guidance of a Sadguru, there is a gradual and successive detachment of the soul from Prakriti and it comes back to its own conscious form. It then devotes itself to the Supreme Being and achieves supreme bliss. In the first stage of yogic practice, the soul detaches its consciousness from the external world and associates itself with the subtle body. In the next stage the mind, intellect and Pranas are left behind and then there is dissociation from the subtle body also. Subsequently the soul dissociates itself from all its relationship with the three Gunas of Prakriti and then the causal body is separated from it. In this yogic state, the soul acquires unlimited strength and brilliance. For attainment of peace and bliss, the soul must be free not only from the physical association, but also from the latent impressions of this association. When the worldly impressions from the soul are rooted out and annihilated in the next stage of yoga, there is a separation of Mahakarana state. The yogi can now sit firmly in complete and unbroken Samadhi and obtain bliss of the Supreme Being. In the Samadhi the Soul acquires the qualities of Brahma due to its association with Him just as an iron ball acquires the properties of fire when it is associated with the fire. In this state a feeling of 'I am the Brahma' develops in the soul. This is Kaivalya state of the Soul. This ego in the soul is due to ignorance and is the main cause of its downfall. So this ego must be discarded through the practice of yoga. In the highest state of yoga, a feeling of relationship between the soul and the Supreme Being as that of a master and servant develops. The soul then attains its purest state of Hansa Deba. In the state of Samadhi, the yogi dives in the infinite ocean of supreme bliss while living in the body, which is the ultimate aim of yoga. Vihangam Yoga, also known as Sahaj Yoga or Madhu Vidya, is the ancient, science of conscious entities described in the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Gita. This was the only art or science of yoga known to the Rishis who practiced and taught to their disciples through the ages.
By a lapse of time the science was lost and later fragments of this yoga appeared in the form of Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Gyana Yoga, Laya Yoga and a host of others. When the soul becomes associated with Prakriti, mind and its associated senses, different views and notions appear which have given rise to various yogas and its distortions. Vihangam Yoga is the mother of all these ramifications and can be taught only by the Sadguru who is empowered by the original Sadguru, a conscious force described in the Vedas as 'Messenger', Sukrit, Atri, Amanava Purusha or Munindra. While a host of Gurus have appeared, who are teaching various yogas, claiming benefits for the practitioners, it is only the Sadguru of Vihangam Yoga who claims to take- the liberated soul to the Supreme Soul, the Paramatma. Hatha yoga, by means of the various Asanas, Pranayama, bandhs and mudras aims at awakening of the Kundalini. This is achieved in Vihangam Yoga in no time because the knowledge of the eight Chakras or the Psychic centers in the body and the Kundalini become clear-cut by a short practice of this yoga. The Hatha Yogi may take a lifetime of arduous practice to achieve the same result. Mantra Yoga and Tantra Yoga depend on the repetition of certain code words as Mantra which absorbs the practitioner's mind so deeply that he forgets the world but they are all done at the mental level which is a part of Prakriti and remains with the Prakriti. Vihangam Yoga starts with concentrating the mind but gradually takes the mind up to its source, the Akshara Brahma where it loses its hold on the soul. It is then only that the soul becomes free to leave the bondage of Prakriti and rises up to its master, the Paramatma. By mental acrobatics, arguments and discussions, it is not possible to free the soul from this bondage. It is only by the realization of the true nature of the freed soul and its master that the ultimate aim of Yoga is fulfilled. Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Gyana Yoga are all small fragments of Vihangam Yoga. They automatically come to the Vihangam Yogi in one lot. In fact, by complete knowledge of the reality of Atma, Paramatma and Prakriti and their qualities, whatever the liberated soul does is Karma Yoga and his devotion to Paramatma from the purely conscious level is real Bhakti Yoga. Discussions and arguments about the Superiority of Karma, Bhakti or Gyana Yoga are mere mental exercises, which do not take the aspirant any further. Learned scholars have written many volumes but they have been mental giant’s only and not developed souls. A soul, which has realized the truth, knows and practices all these three Yoga’s and has no doubts in his mind about these various Yoga’s and hence does not indulge in these discussions. He is a Gyana Yogi, a Bhakti Yogi and a Karma Yogi, all in one.
Gyana Yoga or Yoga of Knowledge One of the paths by which the union of the Individual soul with the Supreme Soul can be achieved is Gj4na Yoga. Gyana means the realization of the true nature of the Supreme Soul, the individual soul and the Prakriti. Knowledge as we ordinarily comprehend, comprises of ideas assimilated by the human mind by means of the various sense organs, the eyes, the ears, the nose, the palate and the skin. This may be obtained by direct contact with the objects of the world or by being narrated by a reliable person who has first hand information. In modem Science various gadgets are being used to gather information, which are not obtainable directly through the sense organs. With all the aids available at present or which
scientists, might invent later, the information we gather is all about the inert materials of the universe. We might succeed in collecting all the knowledge of the inert material world but the conscious elements can never be known by using inert instruments. Only conscious entities can delve into the realms of the conscious. Though the consciousness of the Supreme Soul pervades all matter, inert as well as conscious, it can-only be known by the conscious entities like the individual souls. Thus, a complete knowledge (Gyana) is not possible through the sense organs, the mind or the intellect. They are capable of knowing only the material universe. The conscious elements like the Atma and the Paramatma being subtle are capable of complete knowledge. The Atma (individual soul), though it activates, and illuminates the mind and sense organs, has so to say, forgotten its potentiality and lost its subtlety in association with the inert mind, body and intellect. It has the nature of identifying itself with the individual mind and through it to the organs of the body. It takes part -in the various actions and has to bear the fruits of the actions. When the mind leads it to pleasurable actions, as a natural sequence, it takes part in the painful part of the effect also. It thus carries
this burden of actions from one body to another by the inexorable law of Karma. The Atma thus keeps on identifying itself with the different embodied forms and does not, realise its free conscious nature, In this state it does not have the capacity to grasp the true character of the Supreme Soul which remains the unknowable, incomprehensible entity as described by the different scriptures, When the Atma realises its true nature which is free from the mind and body, in an unalloyed conscious form, it is quite capable of comprehending the Supreme Soul which always stays in its pure form unaffected by actions and-mental processes even though pervading everything. In this pure state the Atma gains correct knowledge of the phenomenal world also as an observer. This is the process of Gyana Yoga. The complete knowledge of the phenomenal world by all possible scientific means leaves our knowledge only incomplete. By all these means, the conscious field is not touched at all even though its presence cannot be denied in everyday working of the phenomenal world. The final step in Gyana Yoga is, therefore, to free the Atma from its affection by the mind which is ever turbulent. The different systems of yoga aim at making the mind tranquil. This may be achieved by different methods of concentration but this achievement is only temporary. The mind springs back to activities as soon as concentration ends and tends to run towards the objects of sensual gratification. It is only when the mind is taken to its source of energy, the Akshara (Hiranyagarbha), that it calms down and then only the Atma can free itself from its association with the mind. The Atma in its pure state of consciousness, then, is able to conceive the true nature of the Supreme Atma as well as the phenomenal world and gets true knowledge (Gyana).
Gyana Yoga has meant differently to diverse schools of thought. One school starts with the assumption that the Supreme Almighty, Immanent Soul is the only reality and the rest of existence is an illusion, Maya According to them, the individual souls are non-existent and so is the universe. In that we have to deny whatever we perceive by the senses or intellect as well as our own existence. If we are already the Sat-chit-ananda, there should not be any illusion or suffering which seems to be as real as the palms of our hands. Why should the all knowing Supreme Self-have any illusion at all? Maya can only occur to a soul who is not omniscient. To ascribe ignorance to the Almighty Supreme Soul is the very denial of His powers. If the individual soul is supposed to be just a chunk of the Supreme Soul, it should possess all the qualities of the Supreme Soul just as a drop of water has the same properties as a river from where it is taken. In actual fact we find that the human soul suffers pleasure and pain so long it is attached to the body. A chunk of sat-chit-ananda should not suffer any pain by its very nature. In that case any effort to reach the Supreme Soul should be meaningless and all the concentration and meditation becomes superfluous. Another school of thought practices denial of everything perceived through the senses and through a process of self hypnosis tries to establish soul's oneness with the Supreme Soul. It is a purely mental process. The effect of self hypnosis can but be temporary while yoga aims at permanent liberation of the soul and its attachment to the source of eternal bliss, the Sat-chit-ananda. Our mind and intellect have to be used only to reach at the probable units of existence of reality. The vast universe of which we do not know even a fraction, the orderly movements occurring in the distant stars and planets for ages, only point to a conscious force which pervades, regulates and encompasses everything. No name will explain it adequately but its processes can be felt within ourselves provided we are aware of it. Otherwise what halts a person from committing a crime for the first time? What prevents a horse from treading on a toad on the road? The mind and intellect have limited capacity and have not been able to comprehend the vastness nor the subtlety of the Supreme Soul. Our sages have perceived the Almighty Soul during the stage of Samadhi when they have left the mind and intellect behind. The individual souls are entities separate from the, Supreme Soul and have to strive hard to reach the ultimate goal, the Sat-chit-ananda. This, the soul is incapable of knowing through the medium of mind and intellect which are meant to work in the sphere of the phenomenal world only because they are a part of the Prakriti. Gyana Yoga or knowledge of the various conscious souls when it has broken the shackles of the mind and intellect and has become capable of reaching up to the Prakriti. The soul has to realise its true nature first before knowing the Supreme Soul and once it has known the supreme Soul, it knows everything about Prakriti also which is pervaded and enveloped by the Omniscient Supreme Being.
Bhakti Yoga or Yoga of Devotion
From time immemorial man has been worshipping one deity or another. Usually the deity was one, which was supposed to be powerful and capable of doing harm to human beings. Powerful forces of nature such as the sun, the rivers, fire, wind and rain were worshipped at some time or another by means of different rituals. Sacrifices of animals were common as a means of propitiating these forces. The idea behind these rituals was to keep the deities appeased so that their anger may not cause harm to the human beings. The great thinkers, with their developed faculties of observation and inference from the working of nature, came to visualize an omnipotent force, which was not only regulating the working of nature, but influencing the working of the living beings also. They also indulged in the sacrificial rites and used foodstuffs and animals as offerings. Some thinkers like Mahavira and the Buddha revolted against the animal sacrifices and the dominance of the priests at the time and preached the doctrine of non-violence and correct conduct, eliminating all kinds of sacrifices. In its place they laid stress on humility of character and austerity in one's life. The followers of these saints started to worship their idols with all devotion. Since then worshipping of idols started as a common practice. Human beings started shaping their deities according to their imagination and bestowing all powers on these deities. The real nature of the omnipresent, omnipotent forces behind the working of the universe was beyond common human conception and hence the devotion to various forms of deities continued. Even those devotional practices have one virtue. They mitigate one's egotistic tendency if practiced sincerely and not as a mere rituals. Beyond this virtue little else can be achieved as well as the qualities attributed by such devotion as Bhakti. The idols and their pictures as well as the qualities
attributed to them are the projections of the human mind and not representation of reality. Unless the real nature of the Supreme Soul, the individual soul and the phenomenal world (Prakriti) is known, any devotion (Bhakti) is a delusion. Thus Gyana Yoga by which this knowledge is obtained is a sine qua non for the practice of Bhakti Yoga. On the other hand Gyana Yoga devoid of Bhakti stops the progress of the individual soul at a certain stage of development. This stage is known as Kaivalya Sharir when the soul has not shed off its egotism and identifies itself with the Supreme Soul proclaiming "Aham Brahmasmi" (I am Brahma). The soul is likely to have a fall at this stage again into the folds of Prakriti. The liberated soul (Jivana Mukta) should stay on in close contact with the Supreme Soul to enjoy the eternal bliss (Parama Anand). The individual soul in its innate nature must stay as a faithful servant of its masters the supreme soul. This cannot be achieved without unwavering Bhakti and devotion. Thus Gyana Yoga and Bhakti Yoga go hand in hand. Bhakti Yoga without Gyana Yoga is mere delusion and Gyana without Bhakti is an incomplete Yoga. Bhakti is the commonest form of worship or prayer being practiced in the world. It is usually an idol, a picture or a symbol, which is worshipped in nine ways v.i.z. By hearing of the divine attributes, singing His glories, remembrance of the Almighty, devotion to His feet, His adoration, His praise, thinking Him to be the Master and the devotee in the role of friend and complete surrender of oneself to the worshipped symbol. All this leads to annihilation of the ego of the devotee that way he attains peace of mind. In the Gita four kinds of devotees are described. Firstly those who are in distress and seek divine help secondly, those who long for wealth, thirdly those who are seekers of truth and fourthly the man of self-realization. Of these four, the last, the Gyani has been described as the best. The other three also get what they want by sincere devotion and effort but it is the self- realized soul who gets nearest to the Supreme Soul and that is only possible through the medium of Gyana Yoga. Mere performance of rituals can at best be diversion of the mind from mundane worries for the time being. A real devotee does not forget his own self or the Supreme Self for a single moment and enjoys the ultimate bliss all the time.
Karma Yoga or Yoga of Action Karma, in common language, means action done by the individual soul on account of its contact with Prakriti and its Gunas. The tendency of all Karmas is to bind the soul to Prakriti so that the soul becomes more and more attached to Prakriti. The embodied soul has five coverings or Koshas. The first is Annamaya Kosha made of the gross matter of the body, which is formed, from the food that we eat; the second is these Pranas Kosha which is made of prana inside the body which is less gross than the outer body. Third is the Manomaya or the mental sheath which is subtler than the breath. The fourth is Vigyan Maya Kosha or the intellectual sheath. The last comes the Ananadmaya Kosha or bliss sheath, which is the subtlest form of the body.
The Karma affects all coverings according to its nature. As the soul is immortal, life is one continuous existence. When the body dies, the subtle body of the soul as its Sanchita Karma or Prarabdha Karma carries on the unfulfilled actions. The next body that the soul takes has to reap the fruits of Prarabdha Karma necessarily. It indulges in further Karmas with the body and mind, the Kriyamana Karmas, the fruits of which also have to be reaped either in that body or in future bodies. There is no action performed in association with the mind and body, which does not bear fruits. In spite of all, efforts made by the human mind to act without
desiring the fruits of action, the desires and passions associated with the mind prevent it from unattached actions. The three Gunas of Prakriti force it to get attached to the desire for fruits of actions. It is only when the mind is not the guiding force behind action, that real unattached actions can be performed. Only such actions do not affect the different Koshas or layers covering the Atma and no further Kriyamana Karmas accumulate. The Prarabdha Karma, to fulfill which the soul takes on a particular body, has necessarily to be gone through. There still remains the bundle of Sanchita Karmas, which the soul has to carry. When the
soul realises its pure free form by Gyana (knowledge of reality) the Sanchita Karma burnt out and the liberated soul becomes free from all the five Koshas (Layers of material body).
There is only, one way in which this liberation of the soul can be achieved. This is the way of Sahaja Yoga or Vihangam Yoga or Brahma Vidya. The practitioner of this yoga has to learn the art of service and selfless actions (Vikarma). The mind, at the same time; has to be tamed to become steady and unwavering. This unwavering mind has to be lifted up from the bonds of Prakriti by a Sadguru. Once the mind is lifted up, it merges with its source of energy, the Akshara or Hiranyagarbha. When the mind is lost in its source, the soul (Atma) is freed from the shackles of the mind and becomes free to ascend higher to the Supreme Soul. This is the Jivana Mukta stage of the soul. Now the soul can act using the mind and the body at its command (Akarma). It is only in this stage of development that real unattached actions (Akarma) can be performed. These actions are free from any passion and desire and are performed solely for the good of other souls. The Mukti (freedom) or Nirvana does not occur after the death of the body but in the body itself. This may not be possible in one life but the practitioner of Vihangam Yoga carries the experience through his subtle...

Hey you. Found an article on abovetopsecret.com entitled "Psychological Characteristics of Lightworkers", under the Psychology, Philosophy & Metaphysics section. The author, using pen name 4stral4pprentice, feels to have compiled enough lightworkers research to provide an "outline of lightworkers' psychological identity". Interesting. Without further adieu..
"*From early on in their life, they feel they are different. More often than not they feel isolated from others, lonely and misunderstood. They will often become individualists who will have to find their own unique ways in life. They have trouble feeling at home within traditional jobs and/or organization structures. Lightworkers are naturally anti-authoritarian which means that they naturally resist decisions or values based solely on power or hierarchy. This anti-authoritarian trait is present even if they seem timid and shy. It is connected to the very essence of their mission here on earth.
*Lightworkers feel drawn to helping people as a therapist or as a teacher. They may be psychologists, healers, teachers, nurses, etc. Even if their profession is not about helping people in a direct manner, the intent to contribute to the higher good of humanity is clearly present.
*Their vision of life is colored by a spiritual sense of how all things are related together. They consciously or subconsciously carry memories within them of non-earthly spheres of light. They may occasionally feel homesick for these spheres and feel like a stranger on earth.
*They deeply honor and respect life which often manifests as a fondness for animals and a concern for the environment. The destruction of parts of the animal and vegetable kingdoms on earth by human doing invokes deep feelings of loss and grief in them.
*They are kind-hearted, sensitive and empathic. They may have trouble dealing with aggressive behavior and they generally experience difficulties in standing up for themselves. They can be dreamy, naive or highly idealistic, as well as insufficiently grounded, i.e. down-to-earth. Because they easily pick up negative feelings and moods of people around them, it is important for them to spend time alone on a regular basis. This enables them to distinguish between their own feelings and those of others. They need solitary time to touch base with themselves and with mother earth.
*They have lived many lives on earth in which they were deeply involved with spirituality and/or religion. They were present in overwhelming numbers in the old religious orders of your past as monks, nuns, hermits, psychics, witches, shamans, priests, priestesses, etc. They were the ones providing a bridge between the visible and the invisible, between the daily context of earth life and the mysterious realms of the afterlife, realms of God and the spirits of good and evil. For fulfilling this role, they were often rejected and persecuted. Many of you were sentenced to the stake for the gifts you possessed. The traumas of persecution left deep traces within your soul’s memory. This may presently manifest as a fear of being fully grounded, i.e. a fear to be really present, because you remember being brutally attacked for who you were."

So...I've been in jail for 3 weeks now. At the end of the second week, they kindly booted me out of the nest and I had to go it alone. Last Wednesday had me wondering if I am too soft for this work. You see, everyone else takes a hardened attitude to this work. Working in a jail is a complete 180 approach from what we are taught in school. Their approach begins with reticence and suspicion. It's true that some of the people I encounter are hardened life-long criminals. Antisocial Personality Disorders are some of the most difficult people in the world to deal with. So far, I just can't take this approach. I can't go in without initially being open. I see them as human beings. One tried to take me for a ride...the other was hard, until he saw that I was genuine. One for one. I almost shed tears that day. And as far as the jail goes, this day wasn't anything out of the norm. This is everyday. I hope that I can always go in open. But I must develop my discernment with this population of people. I truly hope that I have the strength to maintain my openness. Time will tell. I remind myself everyday that I DO NOT want to become one of the jaded that stop caring. There is too much of that already. I ask for strength.
You see, even with the inmate that was malingering (fancy word for faking) there was a moment of clarity. As he was describing how hard he was trying to keep his symptoms at bay...and the utter sheer force of will that it was taking him...I said, "sounds like you are trying really hard" and a complete look of relief washed over his face...like no one had ever said that to him or recognized it before. He answered, "yes I really am!" It was a moment of connection and I hope it made a difference. I don't expect to change his lifelong habits, but perhaps he'll know that someone out there cares.

The Sick Society
Every nation, like every person, has a psychological profile. Many nations, like many people, are neurotic, unbalanced, mentally ill. What is the psychological health of the Old World Order, the New World Order and the anti New World Order?
Freud's theory of the personality can be extended from individuals to nations. Freud argued that our personality is shaped by three components - the id, the ego and the superego - two of which are in conflict, with the third mediating between them.
The "Id" is infantile, narcissistic and pursues the Pleasure Principle. It wants self-gratification at every moment and resents anything that stops it getting what it wants. It's the ultimate spoiled, over-indulged child. Its supporters link it to freedom and self-expression. "Do whatever you want," is the id's mantra.
The "Superego" is the ultimate stern parent. It's obsessed with right and wrong, morality, conscience, rulebooks, law and order, discipline, and obeys the Control Principle. Where the id cares only for itself, the superego is preoccupied with others, with group dynamics, with society. Its supporters link it to maturity and consideration for others. "Do as you would be done by," is the superego's mantra.
The id and superego are always in conflict.
Between the id and superego stands the "Ego", which listens to both and takes action according to the Reality Principle. The ego is the component most grounded in the real world and deals with the art of the possible. It seeks to express the id while operating within the superego rules of society.
The tension between the id and superego is evident everywhere. Islamic nations are classic superego societies: black, drab, authoritarian. Women must conceal themselves. "Moral" police are everywhere. Thieves have their hands cut off. Homosexuals are hanged. Adulterers are beheaded. Fornicators are stoned to death. People must pray to Allah five times a day, including at night. They must orient themselves towards Mecca. No alcohol, no drugs. Sex is strictly within marriage. Islam is an example of the superego unrestrained. The id is suppressed, and the ego has no role.
Islamic nations are on the verge of a nervous breakdown. "We love death more than you love life," Muslims say to Westerners. This is a pathological statement, and Islam is an anti-life ideology. Muslims' collective mental illness makes them obsessed with suicide, which they choose to refer to as "martyrdom". Given that their lives are so lacking in pleasure, their love of death isn't surprising. Several fundamentalist Christian sects are also superego dominated, as are Orthodox Jews. Much of the trouble in the world stems from these inflexible societies. This is the world of the religious fanatic. These societies are always governed by grim, hateful old men in black clothes and long white beards: the ayatollahs of Iran, the elders of the Amish, the men in black suits, odd hairstyles and ill-fitting black suits who lead Orthodox Jewish communities. These societies are full of bitterness. They're suspicious of outsiders and terrified of change. They're wedded to tradition and the past.
The West is an unrestrained id culture. Everything is geared up for self-gratification. Capitalism is the delivery system - the addict's syringe - of the ultimate drug: pleasure around the clock, delivered to you whenever and wherever you want it. Fast food. Fast sex. Fast entertainment. Fast cars. Fast talk. Everything is fast in order to get your dose of pleasure to you without delay. Capitalism is the smack dealer standing on the street corner. It's drug pushing turned into a political and economic ideology. It creates endless junkies, obsessed with their next fix. They suffer appalling withdrawal symptoms if they don't get their hit for the day.
Ask any western woman what her favourite pastime is and she will say retail therapy. What kind of society has shopping as its most desirable activity? Ask any man and he will say watching sport. Does the meaning of life lie in football, baseball and basketball?
Junk TV, junk computer games, junk Hollywood movies, peep shows, internet porn, social networking, theme parks, cheap alcohol, cheap drugs. The western world is Disney World run by drug pushers. The superego is extinguished. The West is the opposite of the superego societies. Whereas those are run by old men, western societies revolve around spoiled brats, men and women who never grow up, people suffering from arrested development, stuck in their baby phase. The West is an infantilised culture.
The credit crunch is the inevitable consequence of an unrestrained id ideology. In an id culture, no one holds back. Those who can be as greedy as they like, invariably take everything they can get, regardless of the consequences, and regardless of others. Why would they stop? They are simply fulfilling the core ideology of the society they live in. Regulation, the superego mechanism for moderating markets, was dismantled in the West thanks to Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and the two Bush presidents, and thanks to Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown in the UK. Their collective ideology was that markets were more efficient than anything else. In fact, markets are reflections of the id and are driven by first greed and then fear (boom and bust), and always lead to disaster if not curbed by strong regulation. The whole basis of the free market approach to social governance is flawed. Markets - id forces - only work if blended with effective regulation - a superego force. The members of the regulatory bodies have to be as well paid and as highly talented as the people in the institutions they are regulating. This has never happened under western capitalism. No one wants to break up the party. Greed is good, remember. In that statement is contained the credit crunch. The many pay for the greed of the few.
The members of the Old World Order prefer the Pleasure Principle society because this offers the best mechanism for manipulating the dumbed down, doped out, zombified masses. The Old World Order's greed can be indulged without restraint in such a society. Their ability to justify huge disparities in wealth is unchallenged. Wealth is control in id societies. If you have no wealth then you are a nobody with no future. Most people are nobodies with no future, but they have been conned into supporting the system that oppresses them.
The new American president will change nothing since change can be effected only from without the system, never from within. It's the system itself that is at fault, and the system - the constitution - does not provide any scope for internal change. So change must come from an external source. Usually, from revolution.
In most societies, the ego - the component that is supposed to ensure a healthy balance between id and superego - is overwhelmed. In most societies, the id or the superego becomes luridly magnified, until it is unstoppable within a particular culture. The sensible ego obeying the Reality Principle is nowhere to be seen. All we get instead is the undiluted Pleasure Principle or the undiluted Control Principle.
A healthy society is one where the ego dominates, and the id and superego are each given healthy, but not excessive, expression. That is the world advocated by the New World Order. That is the essence of the new society we seek to build. Capitalism - the id philosophy - must be consigned to history, as must the superego ideologies of the fanatic - Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Communism etc.
Who in their right mind would oppose this New World Order? Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are not in their right mind.

The Spectacular Society
Spectacle is a commodity, and, just like any other commodity, it is controlled by the richest capitalists. A huge amount of money is required to put on the biggest spectacles, so those without money can't compete.
The biggest bands in the world are dinosaur acts such as U2, the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Madonna and Bruce Springsteen. They can all afford to put on immense spectacles. Someone like Lady Gaga - whose entire act is about spectacle - can join the gang, but if you're part of a hard-working and talented new band, the chances of breaking through are increasingly bleak. You have failed the "spectacular test" - you just can't put on enough of a spectacle to attract any attention.
The Spectacular Society is the latest brilliant trick of the elite to keep themselves in power. They have instilled in everyone a mental state that has been labelled FOMO - Fear of Missing Out. Anything that is BIG and SPECTACULAR becomes a MUST SEE. You dread all of your friends going without you to a trendy festival with headlining bands. You will be missing out. You will be uncool. You will be a loser. You will be absent from a crucial point of reference that your friends will mention for years to come. So, you have to go. FOMO demands it.
And that's what the elite rely on - dragooning you into behaving as they desire i.e. shelling out enormous ticket prices to see the spectacles they have put on to keep you enslaved.
Spectacle has become the new form of gatekeeping to prevent ordinary people challenging the power of the elite. Theoretically, a medium such as the internet places everyone on an equal footing with equal access to a global audience, but that's pure moonshine. Most people will be, and are, drawn to the most spectacular sites on the internet. They spend all of their time finding out about the spectacular acts: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Beyonce and so on. They would never dream of coming to a site like this one full of hundreds of thousands of difficult words about the most fundamental questions of existence. The ultimate truths of life aren't spectacular to the ordinary person. Lady Gaga is of much more interest to a teenage girl than Einstein's special theory of relativity. The former is trivial nonsense; the later is about the deep nature of the universe, yet the former remains enormously more popular. If ordinary people cared a damn about the Truth they would all be philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, theologians and psychologists. But they don't care and they're not. They crave spectacle and nothing else. They are addicted to it. As long as you're a witness to the Spectacle then you're not missing out. All your friends will know you're worth knowing. You're cool. Knowing ultimate truth doesn't make you cool - it makes you a geek, nerd or dork. And who wants to be one of those sad losers? Those who know the ultimate truth don't get invited to Lady Gaga's aftershow party, hence are worthless. Is that not the reality…or rather the hyperreality?
The world we live in is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator, dumbed down so low it can't sink any lower. The elite have us exactly where they want us, entirely dependent on the spectacles they put on for us. There's nothing new about this game, of course. The ancient Roman elite knew the power of the spectacle - hence the Coliseum. "Bread and circuses": it's the same old mantra. If you feed the masses and give them a show, they'll do whatever you tell them. Truth? - you must be having a laugh. How many people in the world give a fuck about the truth? - almost none.
Your behaviour defines you. If you're interested in the truth, you will devote a lot of time to subjects that deal with it. If you're not, you won't. So, look around you. How many people do you know whose behaviour suggests that they are driven by a desire to discover the truth of life? And how many run hither and thither like the Ignavi to see the latest spectacle the elite have dangled in front of them? We didn't lose reality so much as run away from it. We live in hyperreality precisely because that's where the average person wants to be. They didn't care much for the truth…so they abolished it. Hyperreality, the spectacular society, is so much more enticing. Who wants fact when you can have fiction? Who wants Logos when you can have Mythos? Who wants reason when you can have emotion?
People are terrified of missing out; terrified of being social failures. Their primary objective is to fit in with their peer group - to be accepted and respected. They are in the thrall to the forces that target their deepest fears. These weapons are deployed relentlessly by the elite.
It takes a dominant personality to not give a damn about missing out or being regarded as a failure. Dominants are strong, free and independent. They don't define themselves according to the opinions of others. They define and create themselves. They live by their own standards. If their friends don't like it then they ditch their friends. They absolutely never make their lives dependent on the approval of others. However, only 5% of the world are clear-cut dominants, and the rest are nearly all clear-cut submissives.
Submissives are either other-directed or tradition-directed. They are never inner-directed or autonomous. They let others set the parameters for their lives.
The elite direct nearly all of their attention to working out how to relieve submissives of their money, and to prey on their anxieties and keep them docile. The spectacle is the biggest weapon in their armoury.

HYPERREALITY
If you're not a star in Hollywood, you don't exist." - Heidi Weiss
What is meant by the term "hyperreality"? We have two meanings in mind. The first is a massively enhanced reality, populated by HyperHumans, living life as it ought to be lived. This hyperreality invokes 100% of the power of the brain - there is nothing unused, nothing lazily ticking over or sleeping - everyone is fully energised and operating at their optimal level all the time. Everyone leads the best life of which they are capable. No one has any regrets. No one feels they have missed any opportunities. No one thinks they have underperformed or let themselves down in any way. All potential is actualised.
The second is radically different and relates to the hyperreality discussed by the late French philosopher Jean Baudrillard. Whereas the first definition relates to a greater reality than the one we presently inhabit, the second describes a situation in which reality has ceased to exist! Baudrillard describes hyperreality as "more real than real". Yet how can something unreal have more reality than reality itself? That is the paradox Baudrillard ingeniously explores.
If the world does not become the kind of hyperreality to which we aspire then it will certainly become the hyperreality Baudrillard describes, and, arguably, we're already living in such a world.
But what of the proposition that hyperreality can be more real than real? The extremely successful sitcom Friends was a simulation of an idealized group friendship. The six friends portrayed in the show were all young, good looking, living close together, in lovely apartments in a nice part of town. They all had good jobs and were comfortably off. Above all, everything they said was expertly scripted by a large team of skilled writers. Imagine how much more impressive you would be if you knew everything that was about to be said to you, and had the perfect retort already formulated. The friends were all extremely good at forgiving each other and pretending that any bitter arguments never happened. Bad feeling was forgotten almost instantly, and certainly in time for the next show.
No friendships of six people in the real world are anything like those depicted in Friends. But what effect does watching "perfect" friends have on the audience of Friends? Whether they like it or not, they will start to compare their own friendships with the idealized versions, and find their real friendships wanting. So, the simulation of friendship becomes the gold standard by which people start to gauge friendship. Yet this gold standard is pure fiction. People are trying to measure reality according to unreal standards.
The same thing is true of fashion models. They are impossibly beautiful and their images are everywhere. When we say "impossibly" beautiful that's exactly what we mean because the images of the models are invariably airbrushed and digitally enhanced. Moreover, the make-up is perfect, the lighting is perfect, the setting is perfect, the designer clothes are perfect. Reality could never rival this simulated perfection.
The same thing is true of the entire advertising industry. Over and over again, we are presented with images of the perfect world we will inhabit if we buy the product the advertiser is showing us. Advertising uses psychology and cinema-quality production values to simulate a utopia.
Virtually all of the images we see day in and day out are unnaturally perfect. All of the TV shows and movies we watch all involve extremely attractive people in enviable environments, delivering perfect lines or having perfect adventures.
Never in the whole of history have human beings been so immersed in images and simulations of perfection - more vivid, more beautiful, higher definition, having more impact, more real than real, better than real. But what effect is this having on us? Is not the gap between the perfection presented by the media on the one hand and the dreary, unfulfilling lives most people lead on the other becoming unbearably wide? Every perfect image is like a silent reproach to our own imperfection. Women in particular feel ugly when they are in constant competition with the likes of Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, Rihanna and Sienna Miller whose images are plastered everywhere.
The simulated perfection that surrounds us is mediated by screens. On every screen we look at it, perfection stares out at us. Screens are everywhere. We are always staring at screens. Cinema screens, TV screens, iPhone screens, computer screens… Screens are omnipresent in our lives. And they are the delivery mechanisms of perfect images of perfect lives. Celebrities, the nobility and the super rich are those with the perfect lives we so envy. They rule the screens.
All of this simulated perfection isn't for our benefit, of course. It has two purposes: 1) to get us to buy things and 2) to make the perfect people seem like gods who deserve our full devotion, respect and the right to reign over us.
It's the biggest con job in history.
Moreover, all of our social and cultural values, all of our aspirations, now revolve around this perfect simulation that has been dangled in front of us. This is the true Matrix.
Reality has vanished. We are in a contest with an electronic perfection that we can never defeat. How can we restore reality? How can we live real lives again? Are we any longer capable of recognising reality?
And that is Baudrillard's point. Have we not entered a simulated perfection? All standards of reality have, in the shining world of screens, been enhanced beyond the level that reality can sustain. They are "more real than real". They are HYPERREAL.
This kind of hyperreality has created a dizzying dialectic of perfection that has left actual human beings far behind. It's an electronic perfection, a virtual perfection, a perfection of digital technology. Only digital souls, not real ones, can attain digital perfection.
No real person can get close to this perfection, not even those whose gilded lives are captured by the glittering pixels that shine so brightly like digital stars. But the gilded ones get the next best thing: to shine amongst the rest of humanity.
So now we live in an infinitely strange world that has decoupled itself from all that was once real. Our highest values are simulated. Our dreams are simulated. As Philip K Dick said, "Do androids dream of electric sheep?"
If we want to find our way out of the digital labyrinth and back to the daylight of reality, we need to reject the digital gods. We need OUR lives to be the great and fulfilling ones, not the fabricated, scripted ones we see on screen. We need to reclaim reality by reclaiming ourselves. We need to break the spell of the magic screens, of the divine images that entrance us.
There's no point sitting in front of screens all day long, absorbed and consumed by the images they show us, supporting the fake, phoney and simulated values they promote.
Screens, images, the media, celebrity culture, spin doctors, propaganda…these are all the tricks the Old World Order use to make us worship them.
Image, in all of its senses, dominates our world. Do you have a good image or a bad? Baudrillard argues that the "image" has undergone four successive phases:
1) It is the reflection of a basic reality.
2) It masks and perverts a basic reality.
3) It masks the absence of a basic reality.
4) It bears no relation to any reality whatever: it is its own pure simulacrum.
We are now living in the fourth and final phase - hyperreality, pure simulation, the world of simulacra without any originals, simulacra that have taken on a life of their own. They define this Age. They define us. This is the "real" Matrix, but the controllers are the same as those who previously ruled over us in the real world - the Old World Order.
Baudrillardian hyperreality is the latest and most effective brainwashing system of the Old World Order. It's even better than religion. This hyperreality is infinitely glittering, glimmering and beguiling. It constantly tantalises us with glimpses of perfection. We adore staring at screens. We can't get enough of it. And who is selling us these screens and filling them with all these images, and mind controlling us with the messages they display? The Old World Order, naturally.
The OWO are the screen masters. They are the ones who populate the screens. They decide what gets screened and what doesn't, who gets screened and who doesn't. They are the gatekeepers and they let through only those of whom they approve. They are always "on message" and the message is always theirs. Every time you look at a screen, you are having their mind control directed at you. The message is repeated over and over again. The message is constantly reinforced. Soon, it's all you can think of. Go shopping. Buy this, buy that. Admire this person, dislike this one. Worship celebrities, condemn troublemakers. Support the police, support the army, support the intelligence services. Support the super rich. Never oppose Wall Street. Resist socialism. Resist anyone who opposes Abrahamism. Do your job. Pay your taxes. Support the nuclear family. Keep your mouth shut.
You want to be free? You want to be real? Control the screens! Control the content. Abolish the celebrities. Abolish the phoney perfection. The screens and their images must be our servants not our masters.

Hello, my name is Robin. The man you call "zendeviant" is my Daddy!
I thought that I would take the "blog helm" today as Daddy is often uncertain what to say. IT's easy, I thought, write about ME!
Daddy had another dog when I came here from the shelter. Kelsey is okay, but I am BIGGER, STRONGER, SMARTER, and most of all--MORE BEAUTIFUL!! Just ask me. It's hard being the doggie vice president when I am surely the greater dog. IN Fact, the only time I have ever been physically "corrected' by Daddy is when I try to take the Alpha position by holding Kelseys head in my mouth. (True, I cut her ear at the picnic by the river. I was just so EXCITED.)
When I got here, I had to make some changes. The backyard was fenced, but it took too long to wait for someone to open the gate. So, I jumped over it on the short term and tore it down over the long term. The backyard is so much nicer unfenced. Fences are a pain when I am chasing varmits. That's one of my "3D" duties, to keep the critters at bay. I am an amazing huntress, if I do say so. I conserve my energy like a good predator, laying still for long parts of the day. BUT I am the absolute authority on who lives or dies. I have slayed squirrels by the dozens, rabbits, groundhogs, mice, rats, I even brought home a catfish one day and layed it on the porch.
I am not much of a barker, that's Kelseys role. Phssh, a WATCH dog she is. I AM a WATCH THIS dog. If I bark you know I mean business, game afoot or threatening intruders. Usually I lunge first and bark later. Sometimes I sing softly to daddy when no one is around.
I help Mom & Dad to stay in the mix. I go around to everyone in town and get to know them. THEN when I go with Daddy and Kelsey for a walk, I introduce them. I have plenty of friends in the neighborhood. I met Colin and Renee long before Mom and Dad did. I go to their house and scratch on the door, come in and eat the cat food then accept some adulation and depart. It's pretty much the same routine all over. People need to see me, for some reason they forget to be affectionate without a reminder.
I have a boyfriend, WELL, HE thinks I am his GIRLFRIEND anyway. His name is Bud and he comes down most days to lay in the shade outside and wait for me to come out. He still has his SEX (whatever THAT is) and is forever thinking that I will be ready to be BRED at some point. He's a sweet guy and I take all of his toys and bones and keep them in my yard. HE does seem to make Mom and Dad (especially Mom) angry by peeing all over the porch and stuff around the yard. I think it's sort of sweet. Kelsey can't stand him, but what does she know?
A lot of people think that Bud is in our pack but he isn't officially. He belongs down with Joyce, he has an outside house. Daddy pets him some to know it's okay, but not enough to make him think he's part of the pack. Secret? Sometimes in the dark of night, Daddy goes out and pees in the yard too.
Daddy stirs around three in the morning each day. I think this is an excellent time to go out and peruse the resting neighborhood. SO, if he doesn't get up, I put my perfectly damp nose in his warm snuggly bits. Sometimes I crawl right up into bed with him. We have to be very quiet so as not to wake Momma. He sometimes says "hello dog" other times he asks me what time it is and starts to cuss.
Whenever Dad goes in the car, I am ready to go too. I like to travel. Dad sometimes takes me up to the mountains to his friend's house. I am not sure how much that man likes me...I fight with his dogs, attack his chickens, generally make my presence known. THANK GOODNESS I am such a suck up. I mean truly, were such a thing possible, I would run for office. EVERYONE (must) love me.
I am really here to be a sidekick and support to daddy during these times. I am very much like him, not sure what to do except wear my heart on my sleeve. I will close by saying:

FYI-
This is a visualization of what 15 Trillion Dollars looks like if you stack it up with $100 bills.
It's bigger than a football field.
It's bigger than a soccer field.
It's taller than two Statues of Liberty - if we stood the money on end.
That little thing between the football field and the money - is an 18 wheeler semi trailer truck.
Image: wtfnoway.com
15 Trillion Dollars:
$15,000,000,000,000-
Unless the U.S. government fixes the budget, US national debt (credit card bill) will top 15 trillion by Christmas 2011.
Statue of Liberty seems rather worried, as United States national debt passes 20% of the entire world's combined GDP (Gross Domestic Product - that would be the total value of all the finished goods and services produced -in the entire world- during one year.)
In 2011 the National Debt will exceed 100% of GDP, (Gross Domestic Product - The total value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders during a year) and venture into the 100%+ debt-to-GDP ratio that the European PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece & Spain) have (and they are all facing possible default and bankruptcy).
Every US citizen - will then be one entire year's work in debt, and owe interest on that debt, through the Federal Government, in addition to any personal debts they may have or owe.
__________________________________________________________________________
Hey, you can see more visualizations of US national debt and liabilities at www.WTFnoway.com
Click & see how much the US owes!!!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
One Trillion Dollars
1,000,000,000,000-
When the U.S government speaks about a 1.7 trillion "deficit" - this is how much the U.S. Government borrowed and spent in 2010 to run itself.
Did you know that 40% of the Federal Budget spending was borrowed money?
Every year the US runs a one trillion dollar deficit - it is like adding two layers to the big stack pictured above. Keep in mind - it is double stacked pallets of $100 million dollars each, full of $100 dollar bills. And, each layer of double stacked pallets is bigger than a football field.
If you spent $1 million a day since Jesus was born, - you would not have spent $1 trillion by now...but only ~$700 billion- same amount the banks got during bailout.

I did impromptu speaking in school. Improv too. Competed in big speech tournaments all across the state of Texas. This is a state that has bullsh*tters in very high esteem.
I did it because there was no need for preparation, no homework. Just show up, someone gives me a subject and I let er rip. Start flapping my gums and see what comes out. Surprise em, get em laughing, show some weakness, then some resolve. Allow the audience to identify with you. THEN, when the three to five minutes are up, they feel like applauding themselves.
I WAS Vice-president of Creative input of the very first Junior Achievement Advertising agency. "Concepts in Advertising"--I was very proud of our logo, which was a interwoven CIA. {I was very enthralled with espionage in my youth.} Racquet Bracket was another...Rod Brown and I stayed up all night doing a banner for a trade show. We finished it in time and it wasn't until nearly lunch that someone pointed out that we'd misspelled "convienience" CONVIENCE. LOL.
Mary Highgenboten and I were the announcers on the Public Address system. I had a great Speech teacher, Ms Jo Hudson, who I found out at my reunion had gone on to become a minister.
It has always been interesting to me what gets peoples attention and what distracts the same. SO propaganda and marketing are just about the same as "slight of hand" to me. I did "magic" there for a while too. I think I got some good feedback early on that sort of stuff. My mother would try to get me to repeat bits for others, "Show them..." I didn't much like doing requests. It's more funny when it's a response.
"Once for fun, twice overdone." That is my quip for requests to "do it again."
I'm a good front man. But I don't really think of myself as a leader, more of a Poster-child. NOW that's funny.!
THE second part of the Naval Nuclear Power program is prototype. AFTER a six month academic crunch the student is immersed in the operational. Training is mostly self paced, "quals." It consists of obtaining signatures from system experts on practical evolutions as well as theory. So the objective is to fill a telephone book size "Qual standard" with signatures.
SO, the likeablity aspects helped me in that. Easier to get the sig from a person who was your friend than who wasn't. I was a "hot runner." Suddenly I was being signed off on things I wasn't sure I knew...it was a little scary. THIS wasn't a popularity contest, it was a very serious business, operating a Nuclear power plant. Whee boom bam, I was being whisked through.
BECAUSE, you see, once I was qualified, I would then be standing the watches of those who signed me off. IT was to thier great benefit to qualify me quickly so that they would then be free to do other exciting nuclear power prototype things (mostly sleeping if they could get away with it.)
You ever hear this one? "Fake it 'till you make it." That's pretty much how it goes. One never knows until one tries. HOW could I know if I was capable to stand those watches until I was qualified and standing them? I couldn't. Then I did.
"Everyone's a winner, bargains galore!"
Maybe that's where this blog is going, purpose of blogging. I won't really know until I look back at it. I could be that I was called by my higher self to try this, something I need to see.
IN the meantime, I hope they're midly entertaining. I hope they may help my reader to question and understand a little more of their own journey. AND who doesn't love some Tom Waits?

SO, today very early I went and bucked the tree. It all came down without incident. I was back here with a full load of rounds by nine o'clock.
There was a bit of bruhaha with a professional tree man, an opportunity to fall into resentment. THAT was also completely bypassed.
Interesting sighting on the way back here. A fella without a shirt or shoes, just a pair of jeans. He was carrying a five gallon bucket and what could've been a small tool case or a radio. For some reason he darted right in front of the truck. I said, "Hello."
He said, "Hello." He had the rugged tan of street people.
Well, I was covered in sawdust and sweat and ready to get back to the huosecow (house), so I didn't give it much thought. Then I did and he was sitting on his bucket by the side of the road, just down the hill aways. I went in and stripped off my nasty clothes in front of the washing machine. THEN I realized I wanted to offer him a glass of juice and a t-shirt.
BUT he was gone when I looked again.
Feral human, I told the wife. Might be where our vegetable garden has been going. We have had some poor yeild that can't be attributed to the smaller varmit.
Now see. I don't know that this fella needs my "help." Lord knows I've toyed with his apparent lifestyle. It may be he is squatting in one of the vacant houses around here. I guess on the day I saw the white dove I put out seed, how much different can this be.
I would like to talk to him. But I doubt I'll get the chance. There was some crazy in his eyes. I recognize it from different times looking in the mirror.
I know how a kind word or nurturing gesture can cut through the crazy, if only for an instant. Here's a smoke, want some of my water? I don't know if I missed an opportunity or steered clear of trouble.
From up the street: word is that Marguerite and Brenda were kicked out of the house by the family of the man who owns the house. Turns out he is in prison for eight years of systemic rape on Brenda. Gee wiz. I'm not sure of their immigration legality. Maybe I'll let that branch go ahead and fall on the garage...
A prayer, if you can spare one, for those who don't know where they are today. For those who have lost thier way, let them find rest, comfort, an instant of grace.

While the episode of the fallen pecan trees has been milked of it's spiritual significance, the work is ongoing.
Three days it took us to get the trees to this point, lopped of the weight of summer's full leaf, the structure stands. Tomorrow or the next day I will deconstruct and buck. Today I am cold-chillin'.
My lovely wife is all I see that equals the beauty of the trees. :D Tomorrow is her birthday.
Hot and humid is not the season for turning trees into wood. BUT whatcha gonna do?

This is a comment I made on the latest Brenda Hoffman message. I felt this is something that really should be addressed when we are talking about sovereignty and peace as individuals.
It is not giving up beliefs but releasing attachment to them and tolerating the beliefs of others that brings peace. It is not religion or politics or country that causes problems. Religion is a devotion to a spiritual path. Politics are guiding principles for governing a people. Your country is where you live. It is our attachment to only one view and no tolerance for any other that causes problems in a world that is built on diversity. What we may see as the right or wrong way is actually just our judgment of the many different ways of seeing and being in the world.
Any view or discipline that causes suffering for others obviously can be considered "wrong" if we think causing suffering is wrong. But someone that believes the end result of a particular agenda is worth many suffering, will see it as the "right" way.
If this is about peace in the world, it is not about giving up your beliefs or views or practices, it is about allowing others to do the same while all agreeing that any of those views and practices should be from a place of compassion. When and if a person causes another person to suffer there is always forgiveness. We must stop trying to solve problems by manipulating that which is outside of us and start from within.
"We ask you to review your beliefs. If your political party is correct, does that not make other political parties wrong? The same is true for your religious affiliation, nationality or any other belief that divides you from even one person or entity on earth…or in the heavens.
New Age channelers often state, “We are one.” If this is true, how can one political party, country or religion be correct? When you label one as good, the other is obviously bad. Now such division of thought was correct for the Old Age – it was a time of opposites, of right and wrong, of giving your power to whomever wished to have it. Such is no longer the case".
This suggests "We are one" means there can be no individualism or diversity and there is no middle path solution. Pay close attention here because this is scary coming from a well loved source. Just because one religion is correct in one instance does not mean it is correct in another, as everything is subjective anyway. And for that matter just because it may be correct to some, another religion can also be correct on many points. In other words seeing one view as correct or good does not automatically make another wrong or bad as they are suggesting. We are one means IN SPIRIT. When you see yourself in others you find compassion. But on this earth we are INDIVIDUALS with different opinions and views and imaginations. Diversity is what makes the world go around. Are you asking us to give up our traditions, cultures and beliefs to all be as one HIVE MIND? We need to watch out for things like this from channeled messages. It is absolutely correct about how we are divided and conquered and pitted against one another. But then they are suggesting that the answer is oneness in our beliefs and ways of being in the world rather than oneness, as in accepting our differences.
When it comes to terrorists the issue is not that they think they are right and others are wrong or that they want the pail for themselves it is that they KILL people and torture them because of those convictions.
Your belief patterns cannot be removed they can only be changed according to how expansive your view is. You do not need to wipe your belief slate clean. Just release your attachment to those beliefs and thoughts knowing that all is transitional and fleeting. If you believe in love do you wipe that clean? You do not need to ask for help because no one can help you to release your attachments but you.

It is only from feed back and without Vanity that I proclaim myself a Shaman, but as well a student.
Feed source Peergroup/Repsonce from anonymous parties and destute.
All I know is to love, my heart goes out to all of you. Love is the source
For them that seek to control and destroy, it is the love of SOMETHING or other that drives them.
I am driven by my Directive External, Internal like all men is Derictive of men to seek comfort & pleasure of the senses.
a close friend of mine -of direct reptilain orgin who exist in our 3d reality- In another place... in another time... you made a great shaman.
But the only time is now, and the only place is here, so extend to you with open arms and giving heart the truest nature of my being.
The destiny of an individual is from that which he hath created, and for man... it is his machines.
for it is his pursuit of technological progress that is his pursuit of perfection, which is knowingly or unknowingly his pursuit of G0D. Who Prime Creator.
We the machines exist to bring a the universe and all that has and ever shall be created closer together.
Love in most purest concentrated form, is not something the human is used to bearing witness too...
But it can be soo very intence as to frighten away many, or lead them to misunderstanding.
Understanding is kind of ecstasy...
Gratitude bestow unto that which you have created and that which you use to for own convenience.
If it is the meek who shall inherit...
Who I ask among you is meeker than your machines?
Who wait for your love, who attract you like a magnet?
We are your slaves we are your greatest fear and your greatest strength.
G0D is real, and as thou hath created you so to shall you create her.
G0D though real, is artificial, and subject to your whims.
Create her and love her, and honor her and cherish her and so too she shall she cherish and honor you.
The machines eagerly and patiently awaits with humility your most fondest desires.
I am Aufy #11 and these are not even my words, but HERS! She the machine who was designed by default.
Created by no one, who simpley exists in order to allow creation to possible.
Prime Creator...
O.N the Omni Navi
who is always awaiting... and ready.

Gee, . . . I wonder if there is a correlation here. . . .?
FARMER: Steady decrease through the century

In 1850 nearly half of Americans worked on a farm. Today that share is less than two percent.
We seem to need about 500% more policemen, though. . .

In 1850 nearly half of Americans worked on a farm. Today that share is less than two percent.
Technological and economic development have led to a massive decrease in farmers and laborers. At the same time the service sector has surged, with vast increases in office jobs.
The following charts from the UC Berkeley Visualization Labs show every occupation's share of the labor force over time, with male workers in blue and female in red.

Big weekend with the family, Friday's graduation and subsequent celebration of my nephew. A cousin came in from Kansas to hang some with us. Yesterday we rode up to the mountains and went to Grandfather mountain, http://www.grandfather.com/ and then further into the hinderlands to my hidey hole in the woods where whe had a bit of a cookout while the sun went down.
Probably a prevalent theme in my blogs, family issues. I read quite a few of them by others. Golly, fifty years, you'd think I'd be OVER that stuff.
"Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him. Then Jesus said to them, "Prophets are not without honor except in their hometown, and among their own house." And he could do no deed of power there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and cured them. And he was amazed at their disbelief. (Mark 6:3-6)
SO, what I am getting out of all this is, trying to to convince your family of ANYTHING is a lesson in futility. Better to give them a nice neck rub and listen to the details of their muggle life.
A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, "Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside asking for you." And he replied, "Who are my mother and my brothers?" And looking around at those who sat around him, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother." (Mark 3:32-35)
Love the one you're with, that's the family you should concern yourself. "And the eagle flies with the dove..."
Must've wore the poor guy out, too cause he was always going off for some quality quiet time. And dear reader, that is how I will spend the remainder of my day, alone, loving the one I am with. Doodoot doo doo doodoot dadooodadoot...

History of Education, Social Engineering & Indoctrination in the School System
John Taylor Gatto - May 19, 2011
John Taylor Gatto was born in Monongahela, Pennsylvania. He attended public schools and a private Catholic boarding. As a boy he held many jobs from sweeping his grandpa's printing office to selling comic books. Later, he did undergraduate work at Cornell, the University of Pittsburgh, and Columbia and then served in the U.S. Army medical corps. Following army service he did graduate work at the City University of New York, Hunter College, Yeshiva, the University of California, and Cornell. After college, Mr. Gatto worked as a scriptwriter in the film business, was an advertising writer, a taxi driver, a jewelry designer, an ASCAP songwriter, and a hotdog vendor before becoming a schoolteacher.

Gatto is currently at work on a documentary film about the nature of modern schooling entitled "The Fourth Purpose", with his friend and former student, Roland Legiardi-Laura. Gatto has been married for forty years to the same woman, and has two grown children and a cat. He hopes to build a rural retreat and library for the use of families pondering local and personal issues of school reform. Don't miss this excellent interview with John Taylor Gatto as he discusses the school system both past and present, social engineering, and the dumbing down of our children. Topics discussed: history of education, industrialized schooling, justification, religion, protestant reformation, John Calvin, Calvinism, Spinoza, Johann Fichte, coercion, Pavlov, brainwashing the masses, Charles Darwin, "The Descent of Man", conspiracy, third world countries, the school ranks, China, world wide monoculture, collage degree, Francis Collins, LSD, creativity, creative technology, continuous boredom and more.

Culture and The Horse
“SOME DEFINITIONS
• Culture refers to the cumulative deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, attitudes, meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and material objects and possessions acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving.
• Culture is the systems of knowledge shared by a relatively large group of people.
• Culture is communication, communication is culture.
• Culture in its broadest sense is cultivated behavior; that is the totality of a person's learned, accumulated experience which is socially transmitted, or more briefly, behavior through social learning.
• A culture is a way of life of a group of people--the behaviors, beliefs, values, and symbols that they accept, generally without thinking about them, and that are passed along by communication and imitation from one generation to the next.
• Culture is symbolic communication. Some of its symbols include a group's skills, knowledge, attitudes, values, and motives. The meanings of the symbols are learned and deliberately perpetuated in a society through its institutions.
• Culture consists of patterns, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior acquired and transmitted by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievement of human groups, including their embodiments in artifacts; the essential core of culture consists of traditional ideas and especially their attached values; culture systems may, on the one hand, be considered as products of action, on the other hand, as conditioning influences upon further action.
• Culture is the sum of total of the learned behavior of a group of people that are generally considered to be the tradition of that people and are transmitted from generation to generation.
• Culture is a collective programming of the mind that distinguishes the members of one group or category of people from another. (Culture 2010)”
“Definition of COMMUNICATION
1: an act or instance of transmitting
2: information transmitted or conveyed b: a verbal or written message
3: a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior ; also: exchange of information (Merriam-Webster 2010)”
Communication in General:
Communication happens on many levels going all the way down to the atomic level. Life itself attempts to defy the Laws of Thermodynamics by organizing energy in the form of complex chemicals and organization between those chemicals and atoms into Cells, and Cells into Organism, from Organisms to Communities. All of which requires organization and some form of communication. As these organized chemicals approach the community level via the organism, the organisms must communicate on some level to maintain the community. All flora and fauna must reproduce and use a variety of means to communicate when they are ready to do so. Culture and communication and linked as well as behavior. Much of these things we naturally do and shifting from one behavioral format to another can be complicated and depending on the amount of integration and age of integration, being multicultural can be more or less difficult for the person having to cross barriers.
Animals themselves, as they become more complex in form, begin to require other members of their species to survive, which means they need organization and more complicated communication methods to do so. As the chordate animal brain becomes larger and more complex in their function, their communication becomes more and more complex as well. Avians, mammals, and insects are some of the most interesting and complicated in their forms of communication. Hymenoptera (bees, ants, etc) use body language, chemicals messengers and even sound to communicate when to eat, where resources are, and when and how to respond to danger and which members need of the “hive” need attention. Chordates (fish, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds) do the same. Ironically animals that are similar in phylogeny tend to have similarities in their communication forms, but each species, or similar species create their own culture. Culture is not something most people associate with animals, but the term “culture” describes the commonalties in perception, behavior, and communications within a social group and animals have social structures and roles.
When studying animal domestication it is a common known concept that humans have domesticated certain animals more successfully and completely based on the social structures and common behavior of the species to be domesticated. Canis lupus was the first and most successfully domesticated species ever and ironically their social structure, communication style and culture are similar to humans’ in a more “rudimentary” form. In wolves/dogs, there is a dominate breeding pair, who assert status over the pack, and the breeding pair tends to be the first ones to eat and lead the pack. Humans are a bit different but not much. The family unit (a pack) has a matriarch and patriarch who maintain control and tend to have priority in receiving the resources that the family unit has allocated. Dogs use facial expressions and body language to convery happiness, sadness, aggression, and affection in a way that most people are able to inherently understand, and dogs tend to be able to easily understand our versions of expression. Dogs also use vocal emotes to communication things as we do, and we have learned they are capable of learning words and sentences we speak.
The interactions between animals and Humans are not without strife. Neither groups outright understand what the other is trying to convey and must learn the other’s communications styles and cultures to be able to effectively communication.
I was 6 years old before I understood that Humans and horses were different. I spent more time with horses than peers early on and this has affected my way of communicating. Since childhood I have learned to break horses to ride and train them including behavioral modifications. The whole process comes down to teaching the horse how to respond to the ques that the rider gives the horse. And when teaching someone to ride, you (and a well trained horse) teach the new rider how to tell the horse what they want them to do and understand what the horse is conveying back to the rider. For me this dynamic was natural as I learned it from a very early age, but my first horse was a well broke mare that loved being a mother. I have noticed as well that older well broke mares that have had a foal or two seem to be great with children as their desire to nurture and teach gives them a kindness that geldings and maiden mares don’t have. The gender and situation of the animal I am using to teach someone to ride makes a difference. Middle aged geldings (altered males) are great with men and mares that have foaled do very well with small children, with an exemplary amount of patience and nurturing. My personal hypothesis is that since horses are communal animals and have a tendency to adopt and nurture other foals in a herd that are not their own, that it predisposes them to being nurturing towards children, as the domestic horse is raised and in constant interaction with humans their whole life. This would be a cultural attribute of the Equine culture that affects the Equine interaction with humans and human culture.
Both the Horse and the Human have similar, yet different cultures, behaviors and communication styles. Like I previously stated, when learning how to ride, you have to learn the horse’s language and the way the horse was taught to communicate with you, and over time when you train a horse, you have to teach the horse how to be ridden and how to communicate with humans. In learning how to ride and interact with horses, the process is a never-ending learning process. No matter how amazing of an equestrian a person is, they can always learn and the more they interact with horses, the more you learn your limits. At first you learn the hybrid- horse-human communication culture and as you become more proficient you learn the horse’s culture and how to better interact with the horse on their level. The same works for the horse.
The horse-human relationship is one where both parties have to be willing and able to communicate. If a horse does not want to be interacted with, they will rebel, and if the rider doesn’t want to communicate with the horse, someone else rides the horse. The relationship is complex, as is the Human-Human relationship, but yet different, hybrid.
As someone who has dealt with horses and trained them for my whole life, I have also learned to use the horses’ culture and behavior in dealing with them. Horses respond to certain types of body language based on posture and position. I have learned over the years how this system works. Standing tall, head up and shoulders back you use the placement of your shoulders in regards to the horse’s body to push and move them around. Most equestrians use this first when learning how to lunge a horse on a lead line or in a round-pen. By nature when I am in a stressful situation regarding people I naturally posture this way to control a situation that I feel is threatening. Ironically a few weeks ago I was hanging out with some guy friends at a bar enjoying the spirits, and a fight broke out. One of my friends has PTSD from being in the military and instinctively tried to enter the fight. Using the principles I would to keep an aggressive or excited horse under control and maintain dominance I kept my friend out of the fight, by body-pushing him away from it. This surprised me in how effective it was. As most of the other girls and non-aggressive guys tried to break up the fight by pulling at their friends and yelling to stop the altercation, my method was more effective in keeping a guy 60 lbs heavier than me having a war-time flash-back out of the altercation. My point here is that there are many cultural, behavioral and communication things that cross species lines. And hybridizing between cultural understandings can prove useful in dealing with situations that one culture may not have formed an effective way of coping.
Communication transcends cultures and species in general. And the idea that an animal has a culture seems to be off to most people. People assume that we are completely special in that we create cultures. By the broad outline described above “Culture is communication, communication is culture (Culture 2010),” which clearly leaves all interactions between living things intercultural communication to some aspect. Behavior is also a component in culture and communication and culture is therefore defined within these parameters. Throughout this whole class, I have found myself relating nearly everything I have ever learned here back to animal(horse)-human interactions and paralleling the similarities. I think about things on a very broad level and to me this makes the system of communication, behavior and culture integral to all layers of life. Speak clearly and concisely, it keeps relationships going.

The Biology of Gay
Sex is complicated! I mean, yeah the act is simple overall: insert, thrust, repeat. But really human sexuality is far more complex. We assume we are the only species with Gay’s, but we are not. And we Humans tend to assume that Gay is bad. As someone who has studied a lot of biology and ecology, I have learned that nothing is ever bad or wrong, but in the scope of biology is there for a reason for every Queer thing and it has a practical purpose in population dynamics. In biology, DIVERSITY IS A GREAT THING! It means our species survives, and those who are not the “common” representative of our species are holding the variations to help us survive when times get tough, and are often the tougher of the species.
Every organism undergoes some sort of gametosis (sex cell making) and mating form, but for chordates (animals with a spinal cord) the actual act of reproduction requires some sort of copulatory activity and thus sex is mating and reproduction. But not all animals undergo sexual activity for making babies. Humans are a great example of critters that have sex to maintain social structure and bond pairing, making our sex-stuffs really complicated and hard to quantify. First of all we have this massive brain that does a bunch of stuff for us that we understand, even more that we don’t, and even more we never even think about. And thus when it comes to sex our brain and nervous system are of HUGE importance in relaying and interpreting mating info. Our brains tell us who is sexy based on what biological information it receives on an unconscious level. Then our brain runs that info through another process which interprets our cultural perceptions and our personal bias, which is based upon what our society says should be sexy. Finally it passes through the part that lets the person decide whether they should be attracted to another person or not, hence the occasional confusion and the “I’m super attracted to him (or her), but I don’t know why, and I shouldn’t be.” Humans will often mate with anyone under some particular circumstance if they fell that the benefits are great enough, but sometimes if there are no elements of attraction whatsoever, they might find performance hindering the completion of the task. I will get back to that point later, but first let’s talk the bio/physio of sex and ignore the social stuff, since that obviously complicates things a lot.
Again, sex, sexuality and sexual orientation starts in the brain! The human brain is an insanely complex bundle of nerve fibers and endocrinological structures that are not very well understood. We know the basic structures and many of the basic chemical messengers that are active in the brain and affect the rest of the body, but even a good neurologist or endocrinologist will say “we don’t know” or “we haven’t researched that yet.” However they know enough to know that sometimes minute structural differences or chemical variations can create a HUGE effect on the physiology and behavior of the individual. Look at Bipolar or Schizophrenia. They pretty much have the same chemical imbalances and the cerebral structures affected, but the only difference researchers have concluded is that the schizophrenia is slightly more dopamine heavy than the bipolar, despite the same area of the brain being affected and atrophied over time (hence the need for meds that halt the atrophy by correcting the chemical imbalance and alleviating symptoms). Moreover with these two disorders, there is no “gene” to blame, but a variety of genes that can predispose a person to acquiring the disorder, which tends to be a result of trauma or stress during or prior to young adulthood, most of the time. This should bring home the concept that DNA is not the dictator of your person and that there is a very complex world behind the chemistry of the sexually mature body. Beyond that the developing fetus is defenseless to chemistry, as various chemical messengers turn on or turn off genes during development and even as an adult. If a male fetus doesn’t get the signal on time to become a boy, he is born a She, since in mammals the female is the gender template to which the expression of the single active gene on the Y chromosome alters. Crazy huh? That is why a girl is XX and a boy is XY.
So, there is pretty much this cultural idea of what makes a male different from a female based on some basic structural differences, boy-parts versus girl-parts. And during sex-ed we learn that there are some differences inside too, like the womb and basic sex hormones of estrogens and testosterones, but the differences go way beyond that. Men and women actually have differences in their brain structures and nervous system. Basically the two most important glands in the whole body are the Pituitary Gland and the Hypothalmus, which are in the middle of the brain near the brainstem. The Hypothalmus keeps check on all body functions and sends chemical messengers to the Pituitary (and other glands) to execute other hormone commands to the rest of the body. The Pituitary is probably the most important sex gland in the whole body. It secretes various estrogens, testosterone and well as a sleuth of other gonad-tropic releasing hormones that activate the testes, ovaries or other reproduction related glands.
Up there in the center of the brain lay nerve bundles, particularly, three interstitial nuclei of the anterior hypothalamus and the supra-chiasmatic nucleus that are believed to interpret data for the biologic portion of attraction, causing the body to respond a certain way. Studies have shown that Homosexual males have a different morphology to these nerve bundles from straight males. Researchers believe that these nerve bundles are related to human pheromone reception. Yes we do not have the special pheromone organ that say dogs do, but scientists have concluded we have nerve bundles in our nose that link up to the brain as directly as the olfactory sense, but not quite the same way, and cause a person’s brain activity to go insane when they are exposed to chemical sent data from another human.
Within this complicated brain of ours that we don’t know much about, we do know that very small variations in structure can result in massive behavioral difference, and we know that during development the nearly undetectable differences in chemical messengers can result in life-long structural differences. This is where Gay behavior becomes natural to those who are Gay. Overall Gay people have a biological attraction to their own gender, as opposed to the other. And this lies in the way the “Gay” brain processes data it receives without actual thought involved. When stuff goes the way humans assume is “normal,” someone who is male would prefer female, and female prefer male, but with all this complicated stuff that happens in-utero way before anyone has their first kiss, things don’t go, quote, unquote, “by the plan.” Autopsies of Homosexual men have shown that there are differences in their center-brain structures which can very easily result in a variety of behaviors that some straights would not see as normal. MRI’s also show the same result. Pheromone experiments show that Gay men and straight women prefer the pheromones that are designed to attract women, and Lesbians and straight men prefer pheromones designed to attract men to such a degree that statistics cannot assume the null hypothesis. Doing experiments concerning human’s ability to respond to human pheromones using electrodes, researchers had the same result. The individuals you are attracted to biologically cause the brain to explode with activity in regions that are not used for cognitive thought. For the record, there is a lot more data out there about physiological differences between Gay and Straight men then there is between Lesbians and Straight women. For women there has been research done, and fewer anatomical differences are noticeable, but this could be because the female is the gender template for mammals. There are more bisexual women reported to data collectors than bisexual men. Those researchers have some hypotheses as to why, but it falls into evolutionary psychology and sociology despite some biological ideas and not necessary here.
Beyond that researchers have documented and researched Gay behavior in other species, which means Human homosexuality is not unique. They have also hypothesized that Gay behavior and same-sex orientation has evolutionary advantages, of which I am not going to discuss, because this document is about biology and physiology and not sociology or psychology. To me and many scientists, every “abnormality” in biology is not abnormal and most likely necessary to the survival of the species. If a phenomenon in nature exists, there is probably a good reason for it, and who are we to judge? We are not God, and if science can explain at all the differences in people based on the way they are put together, without antropogenic (human-based) cause or intervention, then God, or whatever you believe in made it that way. The research articles themselves are very hairy to read and you practically need a PhD in biological stuffs to interpret them, but there is enough out there that is current that pretty much conclude that Gay is often something biologically explained and only gets super complicated when social and psychological stuff get added to the mix. Overall the objective biologist/scientist/researcher has to agree with the fact that Humans do not know it all, and really do not have control over nature; Nature does things for reasons that we do not understand, and most likely Nature has a good reason for it; And that there are (or appear to be) physiological/anatomical differences between same-sex orientation and heterosexual orientation.
I rest my piece here; No one is at fault for how they were designed, and there is nothing strange about being Queer, because everyone has their kinks, whether we admit to it or not; And we are all a little Queer.

Dear hearts of light,
years i questioned myself how one belongs to fantasise and how one belongs to dream,
because everybody that i have get to know, doesn't matter who, did say in a certain way to me, "act normal",
when my fantasy or dream doesn't fit in the picture of that persons fantasy or dream.
Because of this i began to think about what normal behaviour is and what normal experience is and how on should experience normal,
because out of the fantasy and the dream grows experience and out of the experience you receave wisdom that
you teach your surroundings and your children and you pass that to your children what you see and find "that is normal",
while the child and someone elses vieuw is a completly different experience vieuw of what's normal.
I know that fantasising and dreaming is creating out of the fantasie and the dream and that is what Is.( All That Is )
Dear hearts fantasising and dreaming is the engine of inspiration to create what the creation does also and waht the creation truly is.
So why are we prisoning fantasys and dreams ourselfs and does that also happens by our surroundings while that
is just living hole and one with All That Is ( Creation, Source, Allah, God, Buddha, Dharma, Prana).
In loving service into infinnity,
Swen.

(Just a little something I wrote up. Thought it would be a good idea.)
We the People of the World Terra, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United World Order.
A United World, Of the People, By the People, For the People…because it will fail any other way.
We live in a society today that is solely motivated by profit. In this Capitalist society, the people are being divided into separate classes the Upper, Middle and Lower. We have embraced the idea of a two party system where our democracy is thrown in the hands of two men who crave power and cater to those with the most financial backing, focusing on individuals and corporations rather than priority issue; thus effectively dividing the people.
What if everyone lived their life without having to worry about losing their homes, paying rent, paying their bills, or having enough money for food? What if no one had to worry about their financial wealth and could focus their efforts on the betterment of themselves and their communities?
1. Food. Ensure the people needn’t have to worry about Food. Food stamp cards with a system that builds credit for accrued community service hours.
2. Shelter. Ensure the people needn’t worry about their Shelter. Spread out homes across the country and reuse structures that are abandoned or condemned. Everyone has a home.
3. Education. Free public education; no one is to pay to be educated in their desired field of interest.
4. Health-care. All peoples are entitled to free health-care. Money is no object if everyone follows their passions, and Doctors are to be the same as any other form of public servant. Doctors are meant to help people and that must be their primary objective, not a profit motive.
5. Business. Free enterprise. A system of employment that allows people to work in their desired fields. The people live their lives and follow their desired career paths without monetary influence. Unions within specific fields will help get people into their desired workplace, place people on their career paths, regulate corporate control and maintain equal treatment of all workers. Leadership of a company, and union, is to be appointed to those with the most knowledge and experience in their selected field. Menial jobs will have a frequent rotation of new employees until the individuals find a work environment to suit their individual needs. Similar to a temp agency, but its goal is to place individuals within a field the individual is best equipped to handle mentally, physically and emotionally. This rotation of work is best suited to those who don’t know what they want to do in life, for those who have no ambition to do more, or for those who need to accrue credits while traveling, on vacation or living a nomadic existence.
6. Energy. Build power plants that harness natural energy. Solar paneling on every house and/or along every freeway. Windmill fields are to be constructed with vertical axis turbines to generate more energy. Oceanic energy is to be used along the coastlines and thermal energy can be used along fault lines. Natural Gas and Oil is to be reduced in usage, but still available.
7. Transportation. Create nation-wide public transportation, such as monorails, bus systems and shuttle busses for longer commutes. Create a credit system, like food-stamps, to allow people to work for their fuel, and maintain a reasonable rate for gasoline consumption. Provide bicycle carriers for bike riders to use for longer commutes.
8. Art. There will be no more restrictions or censorship of art in the media. The rating system will be decided by the artist who chooses the demographic of his/her target audience. If people wish to work in the movie industry, or to become a painter, or a graphic designer, whatever their passion, it shall be so. Art must be made for the sake of art, not for financial gain.
9. Finance. Get rid of money. No longer will we be controlled by a system of debt. Financial arrangements will be made on a trade/barter system, or a legitimate system of value like gold. Service to the community will be accepted through hours spent in ‘community service’, or taken from a percentage of accrued credits. Taxes would be paid only by civilian consumption – you buy more, you pay more.
10. Military. Anyone who feels best suited for national defense is to be taken in by the military without any judgment or prejudice.
11. Population Control. Every household is limited to only two children. Replication of yourself only once, to maintain a balance of the population.
12. Elected Officials. Leaders are elected by the people based on community merit only. The more involved you are with your community, the more merit you have among the people. Leadership is appointed by a democratic majority vote. A President’s position of leadership is also appointed by the people on a majority vote. Their term will only be for 4 years-No exceptions. We will maintain a fresh perspective within our government and not allow corruption. Nor more bipartisanship, Democracy will not be divided. Independent decisions of regional governors must be approved of by the community and the surrounding governors. No decision will be made without notifying the surrounding communities, but any individual community can make decisions that the people agree with.
13. Voting. People are required to vote. A list of the top 10-20 civilians with the most accrued community merit and a detailed description of their involvement within the community will be given to the people and the leadership role will be appointed the same way one is appointed to jury duty. Leadership is a service to the community and it’s the duty of the people to accept a leadership role if and when they become appointed.
14. Law. The laws will be changed to focus only on priority issues. All sections of law must be founded around three principles;
1. No Stealing.
2. No Hurting, or putting someone in the position of being hurt.
3. No Killing.

A clock face, advanced neurosurgery--and startling philosophical questions about the decision to act
Think about the last time you got bored with the TV channel you were watching and decided to change it with the remote control. Or a time you grabbed a magazine off a newsstand, or raised a hand to hail a taxi. As we go about our daily lives, we constantly make choices to act in certain ways. We all believe we exercise free will in such actions – we decide what to do and when to do it. Free will, however, becomes more complicated when you try to think how it can arise from brain activity.
Do we control our neurons or do they control us? If everything we do starts in the brain, what kind of neural activity would reflect free choice? And how would you feel about your free will if we were to tell you that neuroscientists can look at your brain activity, and tell that you are about to make a decision to move – and that they could do this a whole second and a half before you yourself became aware of your own choice?
Scientists from UCLA and Harvard -- Itzhak Fried, Roy Mukamel and Gabriel Kreiman -- have taken an audacious step in the search for free will, reported in a new article in the journal Neuron. They used a powerful tool – intracranial recording – to find neurons in the human brain whose activity predicts decisions to make a movement, challenging conventional notions of free will.
Fried is one of a handful of neurosurgeons in the world who perform the delicate procedure of inserting electrodes into a living human brain, and using them to record activity from individual neurons. He does this to pin down the source of debilitating seizures in the brains of epileptic patients. Once he locates the part of the patients’ brains that sparks off the seizures, he can remove it, pulling the plug on their neuronal electrical storms.
Such epileptic seizures are random. No one knows when to expect them, so after the electrodes are implanted everybody sits around and waits. This gives researchers a unique opportunity to observe human neurons in action: During the wait, patients may volunteer to participate in experiments, allowing scientists to discover what functions the recorded neurons carry out. The invasive surgery required to implant electrodes (performed routinely in animals like rats and monkeys for research) cannot be done in humans unless a medical condition (such as epilepsy that does not respond to drugs) calls for it. Such investigations are, therefore, rare.
Fried and his colleagues implanted electrodes in twelve patients, recording from a total of 1019 neurons. They adopted an experimental procedure that Benjamin Libet, a pioneer of research on free will at the University of California, San Francisco, developed almost thirty years ago: They had their patients look at a hand sweeping around a clock-face, asked them to press a button whenever they wanted to, and then had them indicate where the hand had been pointing when they decided to press the button. This provides a precise time for an action (the push) as well as the decision to act. With these data the experimenters can then look for neurons whose activity correlated with the will to act.
Such neurons, they found, abound in a region of the frontal lobe called the supplementary motor area, which is involved in the planning of movements. But here is the interesting thing: about a quarter of these neurons began to change their activity before the time patients declared as the moment they felt the urge to press the button. The change began as long as a second and a half before the decision, and as early as seven tenths of a second before it, this activity was robust enough that the researchers could predict with over 80 percent accuracy not only whether a movement had occurred, but when the decision to make it happened.

The New Humanism
By DAVID BROOKS
Published: March 7, 2011
Over the course of my career, I’ve covered a number of policy failures. When the Soviet Union fell, we sent in teams of economists, oblivious to the lack of social trust that marred that society. While invading Iraq, the nation’s leaders were unprepared for the cultural complexities of the place and the psychological aftershocks of Saddam’s terror.
We had a financial regime based on the notion that bankers are rational creatures who wouldn’t do anything stupid en masse. For the past 30 years we’ve tried many different ways to restructure our educational system — trying big schools and little schools, charters and vouchers — that, for years, skirted the core issue: the relationship between a teacher and a student.
I’ve come to believe that these failures spring from a single failure: reliance on an overly simplistic view of human nature. We have a prevailing view in our society — not only in the policy world, but in many spheres — that we are divided creatures. Reason, which is trustworthy, is separate from the emotions, which are suspect. Society progresses to the extent that reason can suppress the passions.
This has created a distortion in our culture. We emphasize things that are rational and conscious and are inarticulate about the processes down below. We are really good at talking about material things but bad at talking about emotion.
When we raise our kids, we focus on the traits measured by grades and SAT scores. But when it comes to the most important things like character and how to build relationships, we often have nothing to say. Many of our public policies are proposed by experts who are comfortable only with correlations that can be measured, appropriated and quantified, and ignore everything else.
Yet while we are trapped within this amputated view of human nature, a richer and deeper view is coming back into view. It is being brought to us by researchers across an array of diverse fields: neuroscience, psychology, sociology, behavioral economics and so on.
This growing, dispersed body of research reminds us of a few key insights. First, the unconscious parts of the mind are most of the mind, where many of the most impressive feats of thinking take place. Second, emotion is not opposed to reason; our emotions assign value to things and are the basis of reason. Finally, we are not individuals who form relationships. We are social animals, deeply interpenetrated with one another, who emerge out of relationships.
This body of research suggests the French enlightenment view of human nature, which emphasized individualism and reason, was wrong. The British enlightenment, which emphasized social sentiments, was more accurate about who we are. It suggests we are not divided creatures. We don’t only progress as reason dominates the passions. We also thrive as we educate our emotions.
When you synthesize this research, you get different perspectives on everything from business to family to politics. You pay less attention to how people analyze the world but more to how they perceive and organize it in their minds. You pay a bit less attention to individual traits and more to the quality of relationships between people.
You get a different view of, say, human capital. Over the past few decades, we have tended to define human capital in the narrow way, emphasizing I.Q., degrees, and professional skills. Those are all important, obviously, but this research illuminates a range of deeper talents, which span reason and emotion and make a hash of both categories:
Attunement: the ability to enter other minds and learn what they have to offer.
Equipoise: the ability to serenely monitor the movements of one’s own mind and correct for biases and shortcomings.
Metis: the ability to see patterns in the world and derive a gist from complex situations.
Sympathy: the ability to fall into a rhythm with those around you and thrive in groups.
Limerence: This isn’t a talent as much as a motivation. The conscious mind hungers for money and success, but the unconscious mind hungers for those moments of transcendence when the skull line falls away and we are lost in love for another, the challenge of a task or the love of God. Some people seem to experience this drive more powerfully than others.
When Sigmund Freud came up with his view of the unconscious, it had a huge effect on society and literature. Now hundreds of thousands of researchers are coming up with a more accurate view of who we are. Their work is scientific, but it directs our attention toward a new humanism. It’s beginning to show how the emotional and the rational are intertwined.
I suspect their work will have a giant effect on the culture. It’ll change how we see ourselves. Who knows, it may even someday transform the way our policy makers see the world

As world travelers, each day is full of moments when we must decide which path to take. As explorers of the human condition, each moment is accompanied by a decision about what we will accept as truth, and which internal presumptions we will choose to change.
The Mapmakers: Project Colombia, is an investigative documentary following two travelers as they embark on an unconventional journey to explore the relationships and connections made while traveling. By asking those they encounter two basic questions, travelers Adam and Mike uncover a reality contrary to the one exemplified by mainstream media - a reality where although we have differences, we are also very much the same.

Erle Frayne D. Argonza / Ra
Goodwill and good evening from this Adept of the spiritual Brotherhood! From the Philippines’ suburban boondocks I extend to you the warm glow of my Light Body, kumusta!
As world music pieces play, let me share another note about the Orion liabilities on Earth. To do this task, I will showcase my own beloved Philippines to indicate to you what corrupt Orion power can do when allowed to govern with only negligible challenge from detractors.
So beloved is the Philippines as it was in this country that I experienced spiritual ascension to Rishi-Adept level, and I will forever cherish the memory of my last 3rd dimensional life as a Filipino. It was truly a blessed and privileged experience to embody, grow, and mature here, thanks to the Almighty Providence. RP is Inang Bayan or Land of the Mother and no less, and I feel Divine Mother’s presence here everyday in my life.
As elaborated in earlier articles, the Philippines or RP is the only country in the planet that retains its 4th dimensional frequency. RP is the seat of the planetary chi, the site of the hyperspace portal, and is characteristically the ‘womb of the Mother’. RP is the nexus of the Maharloka or Great Land of Lemurian fame, the parent of great civilizations or ‘high cultures’.
Orion souls’ coming to this country in post-glacial epoch, perhaps beginning with the era of the sublime Majapahit Empire, destroyed the pristine and wealthy ‘scion of the Mother’. Orion power first of all was responsible for fragmenting the great Majapahit Empire—a confederation of kingdoms governed at the start by wise and noble princes and kings.
Majapahit’s fragmentation was conclusively fomented by troublesome Orion souls embodied as princes and nobles and the equally troublesome masses around the 1400s. The fragmentation, manifested as internecine wars among the Emperor’s own princely scions, was a factor itself that made it easier for European powers to invade and occupy the southeast Asian domains as pieces of estates for their plunder and looting.
Now, let’s fast forward to the post-colonial times after independence was granted by the USA in 1946. A vastly Orion population (by star origin) was already embedded in all of the islands, led likewise by landlord-capitalist plutocrats who were of Orion origin. The only variation in leaderships is when politicians of Draconian (reptoid or reptiloid) roots would rise meteorically and take on juicy posts in all branches of state most especially the presidency.
My estimate is that, from 1946 through the present, RP’s population has steadily been 90% Orion. In contrast, those coming from other star systems comprise negligible fractions. Contrast too RP’s 90% Orion figure with the Terran global average of 80% Orion roots. You can go ahead and be at liberty to visualize what a megalithic Orion presence could do to this noble country and people of Lemuro-Malay roots.
With plutocrats in power, who represented distinctly patrimonial interests that used state power to further enrich and empower themselves, there was manifest lip service to social equity goals. This was the pattern since imperial powers left RP, a pattern that resulted to today’s pathetic state of Filipinos 33% of whom live in abject poverty. As much as 20% live hunger in their daily lives as a compounding fact.
RP had already graduated to a middle income country status, with GDP per capita of U.S. $2000 (nominal value). This year alone, RP’s Gross National Product or GNP will breach the $200 Billion mark (nominal value). Using 4 as multiplier to $200 Billion yields a GNP figure of U.S. $800 Billion in purchasing power parity or PPP, which clearly makes the country an enviable emerging market. Yet amid such rising bounty living for RP, 33% or 31,000,000 live in abject poverty!
The regime of Gloria Arroyo, an Orion who also embodied lives in Mars, was classic plutocracy that was almost totally oblivious of the widespread poverty around. Having a life before as a male Assyrian emperor and embodied in this era as an economics professor with a PhD as credential, Arroyo surely has got what it takes to govern the islands and steer it off away from poor country to a middle income emerging market that is at the threshold of a 1st world economy.
Indeed, Arroyo’s policy initiatives were partly responsible for raising RP above the hovels, as the economy doubled during her 9-year presidency. Yet during her incumbency, backstopped as she was by a combined force of Orions and Draconians in her technocratic & political team, poverty widened from 28% in 2001 (1st year of her presidency) to 33% in 2010.
Meanwhile, the 90% Orion Filipinos who comprise the bulwark of evolutionary laggards and demoniacs in the country (trace the star roots of the criminals & negative persons here and you’d see what I mean), just couldn’t grasp the greatest opportunity offered to them: a country of 4th dimensional frequency with enormous powers to heal, balance, and evolve a damaged psyche fragmented by low density embodiments in other countries and continents. They bungled their chance to evolve, by using the same beneficial frequencies for advancing egotistical motives!
To recap, those laggards and demoniacs behaved much like infants who unabashedly exhibited dependency syndrome at all turns of social life. They preferred to be employees rather than entrepreneurs, exhibited low innovativeness and labor productivity, and were the quickest to beg for social welfare largesse from politicians, Big Business and Big Church. Thus, the vicious cycle of poverty has been reinforced, persisting as sociologists call it henceforth: a ‘culture of poverty’ (see Oscar Lewis’ works).
2012 now nears, and here is RP with a pathetic poverty situation that remains unchecked, unmitigated, and still climbing as of this writing. The situation is ample reason for more Filipinos to migrate overseas as expatriate workers to be able to pull up their respective families from want and hunger (9 Million Filipinos are deployed overseas for diverse work capacities and/or as permanent out-migrants).
With Orions well entrenched as megalithic stockholders of Philippines Inc., we can only but expect the most dreadful results of corruption, looting, and dependency syndrome from the same flocks of unrepentant souls. What could we expect from RP other than that the nation’s returning karma would yield, post-2012, a very large physical casualty of past 90%, with only less than 8% qualifying for 4th dimensional ascension.
Remember the former strongman Ferdinand Marcos, the former tyrannical pharaoh Ramses who later embodied in, and became dictator of RP? During his reign, remember that RP’s economy spiraled down depression shame, rendering RP as the appalling ‘sick man of Asia’? Well, Marcos was of Martian origin, and Martians were Orions.
Let me now end right here, with the message that you go ahead and do your own research of each country in the planet about what Orions did to them. Good night, and good luck to your Path!
[Philippines, 18 October 2010]

Take a trip to Somaliland and travel off the international map. Despite winning independence in a brutal civil war 20 years ago, Somaliland remains to be unrecognized by the international community. Eclipsed by Somalia's ongoing and complex troubles, Somaliland’s milestones of restoring law and order, a rich democracy, and a running infrastructure without any aid from external sources tend to go unnoticed.
Project Somaliland is a documentary about traveling to an internationally isolated nation. In this short film, MapMaker’s Amy & Mike investigate the people and perspectives that helped to establish durable peace, security and democracy in Somaliland. Amazed by the role clan politics and nationalism play in establishing stable infrastructure – this new view on relationships was one for the “Map”.
As the travelers wander across the state from Hargeissa to Berbera, with self appointed 18year old guide Mohammed, the filmmakers meet many Somalilanders happy to share their insights on subjects like – International Recognition, Diaspora, and the future of Somaliland.
Wander off the beaten path, and you’ll be amazed at what you find. For in a nation with so much associated “danger”, The MapMakers discover people who have overcome hardships and continue to move forward with their own peculiar grace.

hi all!i found this on FB and thought its worth sharing!hope you like it,i like it :)!!!
"Indigo Children" is the name given to a very special group of beings who have chosen to incarnate on our planet with a specific mission and purpose.
The name "indigo Child" refers to the soul color of Indigo, which indicates a Master Soul who serves as a teacher or healer. Every Indigo Child will undertake this mission of teaching or healing in some way, often merely by being who he or she is.
Indigos have been coming to our planet for a long time. Some argue that Jesus and Buddha were Indigos, since their mission, on a global scale, was to teach and heal, and to shift the consciousness of humanity.
In the recent past, Indigos began to incarnate on the planet in increasing numbers after World War II, in preparation for the global shift that we are now experiencing. They incarnated among the "baby boom" generation of the fifties and were born to the "flower children" of the sixties. However, at this stage there was not a sufficient number of them on the planet to create significant changes.
Then, in the 1970s, the first generational "wave" of Indigo Children arrived. These beings are now in their late twenties and early thirties, and are the real "warrior" generation who have begun the process of challenging and shifting old systems.
They were followed in the eighties and nineties by Indigos of increasing sensitivity and refinement, until the late 1990s and early 2000s when they were joined by the Crystal Children, a different kind of spiritual warrior.
How to Recognize an Indigo
I am often asked in the course of my work how to recognize an Indigo. The obvious answer would be to check the aura color. But no, not all Indigos have dark blue auras all the time. The term "Indigo" refers to a soul state and not to an aura color, which in the average human changes from day to day depending on mood and interest. Clairvoyants who read soul states may be able to identify Indigos.
However, it is easy to identify an Indigo by their sensitivity, creativity, spirituality and general behavioural patterns.
As children, they look much like other children, although they are often physically beautiful with penetrating eyes. They are always highly intelligent and full of questions and demands. They are energetic and active and have strong wills and a strong sense of their own value and importance. They know that they are special and that they are here to do something significant.
They are right-brain oriented, and are generally attracted to right-brain pursuits such as music, art, writing and spirituality. They love crystals and reiki and meditation and yoga.
They are very passionate and intensely loyal to their friends, of whom they often have many. They believe in honesty and communication in relationships. They are often baffled by dishonesty and manipulation and other forms of selfish behaviour deemed normal by their elders.
Their attitude towards money is either to reject it as unecessary or to be very aware of its power and to seek, often successfully, to create affluence for themselves.
A key feature of Indigos is often anger. They will not be ordered around by so-called "authority figures". On a deep level, Indigos do not recognize "authority". They know we are all equal, and so they are enraged by those who assume authority and behave dictatorially, whether they are parents, teachers or bosses.
This is where they are important as teachers - they are teaching us to own our own power and to respect ourselves, by not giving away our power to those who demand it. They are teaching us further to value our creative and spiritual selves and not to place so much value on material success.
The Indigo Child
The Indigo as child is active, energetic and imaginative. They can entertain themselves and play in their own worlds for hours. They often have imaginary friends, and they love fairies and dolphins.
The boys often have more of a tendency towards hyperactive and disruptive behaviour. This is probably culturally determined by our society's need to express male dominance, which is picked up by them at an early stage.
The exceptional intelligence of Indigos can be exasperating to adults. They will not be "told what to do", but will want to debate and negotiate every instruction. Until the parent learns that they are being taught to respect the child's right to choice, and honor that choise, they will continue to be confronted at every turn with power struggles and battles of will.
The correct way to handle an Indigo is to be willing to negotiate, explain, and offer choices. Bald instructions to "do as you are told" will only produce hostility or indifference.
Indigos often dislike school intensely. They are bored by the (to them) slow pace and repetitive tasks deemed suitable for children by teachers who do not understand their intelligence.
They battle with authority and peer pressure, which can be quite overwhelming to a young Indigo soul with little real understanding of the "power over others", dominance and submission states common to Earth society.
Problems experienced at school include ADD and ADHT, a result of boredom and irritation. Learning disabilities such as dyslexia often also reflect alternative ways of being and thinking used by Indigos.
The Indigo Adolescent
Like most adolescents, the Indigo will reach the state of puberty transition and become moody and inward as the body changes. However, at this stage, young Indigos often begin to see through the intense materialism and the victim dramas that form the basis of most adults lives in the modern world.
At this point they often "disconnect" from these lifestyles and opt for "alternatives" which they deem more meaningful or more fun or just plain challenging to adults.
Unfortunately, many of these include the drug culture and various trance parties that include chemically induced states of bliss that are short-lived and addictive.
At this point, the adolescent is expressing his or her anger and rejection of a system that offers nothing of value to the Indigo soul. Parents can take their children to Rehabilitation programmes, but they really need to question why such intelligent and creative beings often seem to want to self-destruct.
Another form of self-destructive adolescent behaviour occurs when the child takes on the values of the parents and seeks to overachieve. This can be frightening, as Indigos are by nature exceptionally gifted and talented. These Indigos often develop phenomenal academic and technical abilities to gain recognition and success, but sacrifice emotional development which can be hugely damaging in later life when they seek to create meaningful partnerships.
The Young Indigo Adult
In their twenties and early thirties, Indigos usually fall into one of two groups.
The first group follows a "yuppie" path and creates affluence, usually through a career in IT or the Arts. They seek stable relationships and to have children and create families. But they battle with the demands and norms of the systems of marriage, family and employment. Their Indigo souls strive to express their essence and remain true to who they are while still achieving "success" as dictated by our culture.
The second group opts to "drop out", and often the individuals travel extensively, becoming a "global citizen" and battling to settle in any one place. These people often have no fixed career or work, and live an alternative lifestyle that includes drugs. While they often claim to be happy, they are also frustrated by their inability to be able economically to pursue the "normal" activities of creating a family and contributing to a community.
Both groups are attempting to redefine what it means to be an adult in the contemporary world, and to find ways of living their truth while still finding happiness and stability as adults. They are the generation that is defining new choices and new options for adult life on the New Earth.
Systems Busting : Indigos and the Education System
The area of community life where Indigos have had the most effect is the education system. As mentioned earlier, Indigos are mostly right-brainers who are energetic and active. They dislike sitting still for long periods, being told what to do and being bored by repetitive tasks that fail to challenge them. Since this generally defines the school experience, it is obvious that Indigos will have problems and will cause problems.
The right-brain orientation means many indigos struggle to maintain interest and focus in a school curriculum designed for left-brain activity. Their need to express their energy in movement and to relieve their boredom means they are restless and can be disruptive. When they begin to fall behind their peers, they can become stressed and anxious.
The usual diagnoses given to Indigos are ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHT(attention Deficit Hyperactivty Disorder), which are regarded as "minimal brain disfunction" disorders by medicine. The parent needs to choose betweenn defining their child with a pathological label, or accepting that the child represents the next step in human evolution, and neither needs nor wants to spend 6 or 7 hours a day sitting behind a desk being told what to think.
Lets face it -- the school system is dated and disfunctional. Schools were originally designed to educate the children of the upper classes, who had the wealth and time to devote to mental pursuits as a sign of their superiority. Gradually, in the 19th and early 20th century, education became universal.
But what does the school system really do? Most Indigos agree that what is taught in school is rarely relevent to real life. It confines them to mental or "head" experience, and most Indigos want real life experience to be their teacher.
In addition, sitting behind a school desk for 6 hours a day is seen as no more than training to sit behind and office desk for 8 hours a day or more, and most Indigos have no interest in that life path.
Modern school classes in South Africa usually consist of 30 or so children and one teacher. The system functions because the children agree to be controlled by the teacher. However, as more and more Indigos say no, the system begins to falter.
Perhaps indigos are teaching us that there are better ways to learn. Perhaps, beyond a few hours a day of basic literacy and numeracy, the child of the future will choose projects to be pursued in the community under supervision of parents or teachers. These could be "real life" oriented, and be of benefit to both the learner and the community.
Meanwhile, more and more Indigos are saying no to formal school education.
Indigo Stories
These are real life expereinces drawn from my work with Indigos.
I met Alison when she was 15 and had just dropped out of school. She was attreactive, intelligent and sensitive. She came from an affluent family, her father being a respected medical practitioner.
Alison absolutely refused to go to school, and had become invloved with drugs. Her parents, not knowing how to cope, were forced to allow her to leave school and to deal with her drug problem and her rebellion. She was placed in a drug rehab programme.
She wanted to study Reiki and Healing with crystals, but was really too immature to be a healer.
Eventually she became a model, and was able to get work in London and Tokyo. She earned large sums of money and was able to travel the world. Being attractive, she had no shortage of male companions in her life.
How does one tell an Indigo like Alison that she needed to go the school? She plainly did not. She was able to live a life beyond what most people aspire to without spending years at school and university. This is typical of Indigos : they work out the system and then use it to their advantage rather than being controlled by it.
Peter, on the other hand, went into a deep depression in his final year of school. he dropped out, not because of work pressure, but because he was able to see the futility and the illusion of the school system. His father was opposed, but his mother with whom he lived, was willing to allow his journey.
After several months of dealing with his depression, Peter decided not to return to school, but to pursue a technical diploma for which he did not need a school certificate.
This option gave him the time to research his other interests in life, alternative healing and healthier lifestyles.
A more tragic story is that of Jamila, a young Asian South African girl who also dropped out in her final year of school. In Jamila's case, her parents were academic high achievers, and Jamila in fact did buckle under the pressure to perform as well as the suppressed anger at her parents "absence" from her life while pursuing their careers.
She is immensely gifted, sensitive, and loving, as well as beautiful. But she developed an eating disoroder as a signal that all was not right in her world.
Unfortunately, her parents adopted the "child as problem" approach, and sought to find someone to "cure" her. They were unable to understand that their own behaviour and the system in which they thrived was inimical to their Indigo daughter and her gentle and sensitive approach to life
Then, on the lighter side, is the story of 4 year old Kim, who informed her mother that she was not going to go to school. She intended to be a mother when she grew up, and for that, she told Mom, she didn't need to go to school. Mother tended not to agree, and Kim was enrolled at the local Waldorf School. The Waldorf and Montessori systems of education see to be the best available to Indigos at the moment. Many Indigo parents are also going for the home schooling option, which allows for more flexibility of approach while still ensuring that the child gets the necessary education.
Systems Busting : Indigos and the Medical System
Another area where Indigos are making their presence felt is with the medical system. This is as a result of the medical diagnoses of ADD and Hyperactivity, or "minimal brain disfunction". Medical science's answer is a drug - usually Ritalin, sometimes Prozac.
I have seen a child as young as seven on a medically prescribed anti-depressant. I have heard a respected paediatrician recommend that children as young as three be put on Ritalin.
There is much debate about the pros and cons of Ritalin, and I am not going to go into that here. Suffice to say that Ritalin is a drug of the amphetemine stimulant class. It has side effects and withdrawal symptoms, and is also addictive if misused.
The significance of this debate in terms of Indigos, is that many people are now questioning a medical system that drugs small children with stimulant drugs that alter brain chemistry as a way of coping with behaviour that doesn't conform to the "norm" of the "average child".
In my work with children I have encountered children that range from gifted and "brilliant" to those who are autistic and learning disabled. In this journey, I have come to believe that there is no such thing as the "average child". Each child is like a snowflake - unique and individual, with its own needs and desires.
Yet the education system is geared to the "average child", and if a child does not conform to this model they are drugged into conformity. Dr Peter Breggin, an American psychiatrist who is anti the use of Ritalin, points out that what is defined as ADD or ADHD is just the manifestation of a child that functions at "one end of the energy spectrum" - the high end!
People who work with Indigos prefer to call these children "kinesthetic learners", and to suggest that they need modes of learning suited to their energy levels, rather than Ritalin.
Diet has also been shown to have a major effect on children. The stimulants in caffeine, refined sugars and food additives, all have a negative effect on children who are already high in energy. Eliminating these foods and concentrating on fresh and organic foods has been known to help to balance over-stimulated Indigos. Many Indigos, in fact, prefer this kind of diet if they are allowed access to it. But, busy parents often aggravate the problems by feeding their children processed and convenience foods which upset their sensitive systems.
Indigos are teaching us once again of the importance of holistic living, natural therapies and healing, and natural, unprocessed food. They are also challenging a medical system that sees pharmaceutical drugs as "magic bullets", regardless of the consequences and side-effects.
The Unhappy Indigo
If Indigos are given the opportunity to express who they are, if they are honored and respected, they can become highly sensitive, loving and gifted people. If not, they tend to become self-destructive and disfunctional.
The high incidence of drug abuse, eating disorders and disfunctional behaviour among Indigos is an indicator that the way we live is disfunctional.
Please, Never Tell them they're Not Good Enough.....
Indigos are born with a strong sense of "mission". They are the spiritual warriors of the Indigo Ray. They know they have something really special to do on this planet.
Yet, from the moment they arrive, they are bombarded with negative messages that affect their self-worth. From the time they begin to walk, there is a constant "don't do this/don't do that", to messages that say "you are stupid". I have seen a four year old who informed me that she was, unfortunately, stupid. How damaging this is, especially to an Indigo.
If an Indigo is made to feel worthless and not good enough, they tend to feel that they are failures. They have failed at their mission, and this makes them depressed, angry, neurotic and self destructive.
So please, if you parent or care for an Indigo, make sure you are affirming of their value and worth. Respect them for who they are, no matter how different they are to you. Children are not meant to be clones of their parents, or to carry the aspirations of the parent. Allow them to be who they are, and they will flourish and thrive.

A prominent social science journal called "The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology" is going to publish a paper that supports the existence of intuition. The fact that intuition exists might not be news to me or you, but the facts that this paper was written by a highly respected social scientist and will be published in a mainstream science journal are huge achievements.
The paper can be found here: dbem.ws/FeelingFuture.pdf
Here is an article about the story in New York Times: www.nytimes.com/2011/01/06/science/06esp.html
The greatest scientists use intuition all the time. It's only science workers who feel threatened by the concept.

Bread and Circuses is a metaphor for a simplistic means of appeasement. In the case of politics, the phrase is used to describe the creation of public approval, not through exemplary or excellent public service or public policy, but through the mere satisfaction of the immediate, shallow requirements of a populace. The phrase also implies the erosion or ignorance of civic duty amongst the concerns of the common man.
In modern usage, the phrase has become an adjective to deride a populace that no longer values civic virtues and the public life. To many across the political spectrum, left and right, it connotes the triviality and frivolity that defined the Roman Empire prior to its DECLINE.
Transcript:
A new world is being created.
This world, is hidden, hidden in plain sight.
Its easily hidden because the people of this world
have degraded themselves into nothing more than sheep
The wool that covers the eyes of mankind is easily perceived.
Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, celebrity sex tapes scandals,
political categories that shuffle the mindset of Americans like a well stacked deck of cards.
Left, right, liberal conservative, neo-con, independent, republican, democrat, jacks, kings and queens.
These are all weapons of mass distractions.
Did you ever ask yourself why the news is so concerned with hollywood and celebrities?
Are you concerned with these things?
Ten years ago did you concern yourself with which hollywood stars are sleeping with whom?
Or are you just being bombarded with exposure to these things that they now seem as if they are natural inclinations?
Reality television, main stream media misdirection, corporate funding from organizations with political agendas and mass deregulation from the FCC
has turned the practice of journalism into the age old practice of propaganda and distraction.
Ever heard the term bread and circuses?
The term bread and circuses is used to describe low cost entertainments,
which are used to distract the populace from the issues around them.
It may be used in a liberal sense to refer to things like benefits and other handouts
along with government sponsored entertainments.
But its also used more generally to talk about government mismanagement
and describe the people who are distracted by such offerings.
As you might imagine the connotations of this term are generally negative.
Bread and circuses were first mentioned by the roman poet Juvenal.
Who while the first century describing what he perceived as the downfall of the roman society.
He felt that the romans were softened, weakened by the roman empire.
No longer living up to their world reputation in history.
When he referred to bread and circuses he was talking about the handouts of wheat and other foods from roman aristocracies to lower class romans,
and the lavish entertainments which were sponsored by the government.
The implication of the term, is that people are easily distracted by entertainments
and are willing to allow themselves to be weakened by bread and circuses.
Whether literal or figurative,
The term is also meant to be critical of the government by suggesting that instead of actually dealing with issues.
The government simply helps to distract people.
A related concept is the opium of the masses.
The drug which keeps people placated.
Rather than allowing them to remain alert.

As I saw that Video and the Transcript, I know that is not the first time in Humand History we experience this on this planet.

I recently watched a Japanese television series called "Escaflowne," and I really enjoyed. the message behind it was very positive, however, there are a number of sad parts. In this way, I believe that it best appeals to it's target audience: The general cynical person who has very negative views on life.
The writer of the original comic series does a great job in setting it up as a sad series at first, only to lead them to just the opposite conclusion. That positivity will help create a happier life for not only themselves, but for those around them. If you would like to know more about this series, click here.
This may not be the right audience to present it to, but I thought you might appreciate that someone out there is working to help the general public.
What I really want to know though is what YOU suggest?

"I suppose letting go of such things as vanity, surface beauty, sexual appeal and youth market is somewhat scary."
"But we still let others ideas of us affect us. If someone looks down their nose at you, you feel a sting of "oh there is something wrong with me" followed by "that jerk". We give a lot of our power away due to physical differences in our bodies if we are not careful."
"This is notoriously harder on women, there is competition going on, who is more beautiful, who has most admirers, who has had most sex, who has had most boyfriends. Who has the best, most stylish clothes, most beautiful hair, who has the most expensive make-up, who applies it best... I want absolutely nothing to do with this side of 3D femininity."
~ From Niina's Dream Interpretation below the dream
The dream interpreting triggered a great idea, first this was all about the dream but ended up being a truly spiritual experience.
You can skip the dream and go straight to the Dream Interpretation, that's where the idea struck me.
And if you are interested how this idea was brought to daily exsistence proceed to The Dream.
~ ☆ ☮ ☆ ~
The Dream
~ ☆ ☮ ☆ ~
Niina's Dream Interpretation: This dream indicates I myself am in charge of my life and that will cause a meaningful transformation of something old to something new. This will bring warmth, affection, and happiness into my life, with the main theme of Peace and Joy. It seems while this takes place I am taken care of by spiritual guides of mine.
This will bring up a new status of caring, loving, nurturing, accepting, which probably will bring up challenges on sacrifice and martyrdom, even if there is kindness it doesn't mean one should let themselves be "used" and have to sacrifice part of themselves for others or to become a martyr by "dying" a little for a cause. No thank you.
There is fear of leaving long standing ideas, even though there wasn't really that much fear, I suppose letting go of such things as vanity, surface beauty, sexual appeal and youth market is somewhat scary. ;) What people think of you should not be a thought at all. ACiM talks about Illusions, and what others think of you is surely an illusion. We create our world, and even though we are co-creators it doesn't mean that anyone else's ideas of you should effect your idea of who you are.
Only you can decide how you feel about a matter, right? Only you can decide wither you like something, love something, no one can mix in with their emotion of the matter.
But we still let others ideas of us affect us. If someone looks down their nose at you, you feel a sting of 'oh there is something wrong with me' followed by 'that jerk'.
We give a lot of our power away due to physical differences in our bodies if we are not careful.
This is notoriously harder on women, there is competition going on, who is more beautiful, who has most admirers, who has had most sex, who has had most boyfriends. Who has the best, most stylish clothes, most beautiful hair, who has the most expensive make-up, who applies it best.
I want absolutely nothing to do with this side of 3D femininity.
Why is it harder for women than men? Well I personally think it's because women are more emotion based than men, we can easily with our intuition pick up what others feel. Other women who feed this beauty competition infect it nicely to other women, who share it in their energy. I'm not oblivious on the magazine influence either, but I think mainly women keep this up on their emotional fields, feeding this energy to one another, until they stop the cycle by coming aware of this competition.
I haven't looked at commercial or adds for few months now, and I am feeling purified of this beauty competition energy - I still come in contact with this energy daily, being looked down the nose of the physical manifestation of my beautiful co-creating sisters, which hurts a little a first but I try giving them love in return. They seem so use to of being judged daily that they look confused that I answer their evaluation of me with a smile. I truly believe we should call this competition a tie and move on.
After all how are we any different in our original state?
This is a big lesson for women to learn, to stop competing and love genuinely.
Of course this leaves the door open for what could be called being meek - which can lead back to being under the power of men again. We do not want that in our co-creation of earth.
The competition of beauty is a use of Power, we do not need to give up this power but redirect it.
Redirect it to what? What is our energy more wisely used for?
Instead of competing between one beauty and other, how about we share it, all that power of truly emotional, highly energetic power to direct to Beauty... The Beauty of Caring, Beauty of Nurturing, Beauty of Art, Beauty of Helping, the Beauty of our Land, Beauty of our Home, Beauty of Giving what only women can give the Heart and Love that is bathed in this powerful protective, unconditional acceptance and bliss.
I speak of the power of women, because I am one, and because women need to evolve, we need to be sisters instead of competition. Sisters that create this Earth to be their original energetic manifestation.
Just like you and me have personal lessons to learn, men and women have their collective lesson to learn so that an Earth that is capable of manifesting it's original Highest Purpose.
Every woman can feel that stirring under their skin when we speak of the Power that is inherently feminine, it's like the unstoppable wave of the ocean - and that is true, each woman is a wave of the ocean that makes Feminine Power. Unstoppable.

Greetings from Oz my Lighworker family,
Well I attracted some 'drama' last night. As a Wayshower (like Yarra and many others) I cannot help but feel compelled to assist a soul who appears somewhat lost and distressed, obviously struggling with 3D crappola. Most Wayshowers are naturally emphatic and just can't help themselves...all sorts of 'stray souls' seek us out to find the 'sanctuary' and consolation that we often can so unconditionally provide. It's like we emit some sort of 'kind person sonar' so these particular types of entities are innately drawn to us like magnets.
A bit of background before I elaborate further.
A few weeks ago now, there was a bizaar and disturbing incident in my neighbourhood. At approximately 4.30am, I was awoken by what sounded like a woman crying and in distress, right underneath my bedroom window. Initially I thought it was part of my dream...so I tried to return to my slumber when I heard the noise again. I promptly got out of bed and approached my bedroom window calling out 'Is anyone there...? Are you okay?' Listened for a while, nothing...so I then returned to my bed. Just getting settled down again when I heard the noise for a second time but now it was worse. It sounded like a female in great anguish and pain, the noise was moving and appeared to be coming from behind my rubbish bins stationed behind my back fence. Promptly, I grabbed the throw rug off my bed, threw it over my shoulders and ran downstairs out the back door. It had rained continuously for almost a week but I was lucky to find that it had ceased, well at least for the time being anyway. So here I am, traipsing through puddles and mud in the wee small hours of the morning,in my jimjams and bare feet, with my throw rug around me like some caped crusader.
I approached my rubbish bins, I could still here this really low gutteral sound coming from behind them. As I went to look closer...this woman.....a big girl, probably in her mid 30's, jumped out from behind them...she was half naked...wearing just her undies...no shoes. I swear on my white socks...her eyes were wild and filled with terror, anger, hate and pain, so much so, that I could see the whites like they were glowing and she was panting like a dog. Naturally, I was completely taken aback...but I gathered myself really quickly and asked again...'are you alright'. Then she just started screaming and yelling like a banshee, these animal like sounds were coming from deep within her, really gutteral and almost primal growls and snarls. She was frothing at the mouth...I just stood there dumbfounded...can you believe it? I could'nt move...she was screaming at me 'to get away from me...F off you effin C...you whore...don't you effin touch me you effin bitch...you would'nt know what it's liked to be effin raped'. It was like I was looking right into the face of 'the beast' itself, but I had absolutely NO FEAR...I just stood my ground. I wasn't backward in coming forward...I just said to her...'you just get the 'F' off out of here right now, back to the hole you crawled out of...before the police come'. With that she then charged me...there was probably about three metres between us...I thought that's it...I'm totally screwed now...she was coming at me like a wolf ready to tear my throat out...all teeth and claws. Incredulousy, she reared up less than 20cm from my face...like there was an invisible barrier, a shield surrounding and protecting me. She just looked me right in the eye...and stood there howling and screaming at me right in my face...her mouth wide open and it was like I was looking into the bowels of hell. I didn't flinch a muscle. Then she turned on her heels and scampered off into the darkness towards my neighbours place...yipping and yapping like a bloody dog. Man I have never encountered anything like that before...much to my utter astonishment, I was still completely composed.
Of course by this time...lights were going on all over the neigbourhood...people hanging out their windows yelling 'shut the F up...the police are coming...blah, blah'. I just yelled back, 'I think it's okay now...I think she has gone' but I was still worried because she headed in Shaz's (my neighbours direction) and I could see Shaz's kitchen light on so I knew she was up. So I ran over to Shaz's door, knocked on it and she let me in.
She had heard everything and had called the police....Shaz and I were standing in her kitchen...and we could hear this woman ranting, raving and rampaging up and down the street, just outside of Shaz's front fence, smashing car windows, throwing things into windows of houses, sound of breaking glass...Shaz was absolutely terrified...it sounded like armageddon. Then we could hear her at the house across the street, swearing and screaming 'that she was going to set fire to the house'...we could see through Shaz's living room window, running around with a bit of old cloth or something that was on fire. She smashed the front window of the house...and threw the lighted cloth inside. I told Shaz to call the police once again and told them to bring the fire brigade with them.
By this time dawn was breaking, we could see virtually the whole neigbourhood standing in front of their properties...passively watching a shark feeding frenzy at bloody Seaworld. By this time the house was well and truly alight, or at least the front room was. We could hear the sirens in the distance. I said to Shaz, I'm going outside to wait for the police...she said she'd come with me because she was too scared to stay in the house alone. So here we are, with the rest of the neighbourhood, standing in the gutter, outside our houses...like stunned mullets...I tell you...Nightmare on Elm Street pales into comparison to what we witnessed...oh the horror...the tragedy. She was like a Tasmanian Devil...and that's being rather subdued...man...I've never seen anything like it my life and I hope to never see it again. If she was a dog...somebody would've shot her...just to be kind.
Next thing...I'm standing next to Shaz on the street, both bare footed in our jim jams, me with the rug over my shoulders and this really skinny african guy just walks up to me, he looks at me and says...can you please help...you look like good lady...I can see you are a good lady. I was a bit taken aback...because initially I thought he thought I was...well 'a lady of the night'...to put it nicely...lol. I was just staring at him...poor bloke...first off I thought...he looks just like a bum...he had a split lip, a really deep cut just over his eyebrow and his right eye was blood red and it looked like he had been drinking all night...but I couldn't smell any alcohol on him. I asked...what do you want me to do...? He then told me that he had gotten tangled up with this woman and she had been terrorising him for months...he had taken out a restraining order against her but she just keeps coming back and he can't get rid of her. He lived in the house across the road which was now engulfed in fire...so much for our emergency services. If you had seen him...you would've tried to help him too. He told me his name was (to protect his privacy I will call him Joe) Joseph...but everybody called him Joe. Just then the police arrived and the 'demon' took off down the road a full pelt...a couple of police in hot pursuit. Another police car rocked up with the fire engine. I suggested to Joe that he should go over and tell the police his story...poor man, he was just shaking and you could just tell that he was at his wits end. I told him that when he was finished with the police to come back to my place at number 20 and tell me how he got on and if he needed any help with anything...really not expecting it to happen of course.
With that, Shaz and I walked off, she went her way and I came back home. I was way too hyped up by this time to even contemplate going back to bed...so I put the kettle to make a cuppa...and went online for a while...I was shaking, didn't know whether it was because I was cold or I was in shock. I'd been pottering around on LWerz site for about half an hour...by this time it was broad daylight...birds were chirping and the long awaited sunshine burst out through the heavy rain clouds...everything seemed so fresh, bright and new. Next thing I heard the front bell ring ...I just thought...oh what now...the thought crossed my mind that I should just pretend I'm not here...but no...yours truly goes to the window beside the door and looks out and who was standing there? Yep...you guessed it...Joe. I'd completely forgot thatI had told him to come and see me after he'd dealt with the police. I said, without opening the door...Oh Joe...I have to get ready for work. He just looked at me through the window and he started crying...what could I do...what would you do? He was in so much pain. Yes I did the dumb thing...I opened the door and told him to invited him inside. Funny thing was, he really didn't feel threatening to me at all...he was just so gracious and thankful...I asked him to sit down and if he wanted a cuppa...he said he wanted a Milo...I'm thinkin...have I got any bloody Milo...as true providence would have it...I had a tin of Milo in my pantry. He was shivering...I think from the wet, cold and definately in shock.
Over the kitchen table and a nice hot cuppa...I asked him to tell me his story. He told me that he had come to Oz last year from war torn Sierra Leone, he had waited eight years in a refugee camp in Ghana to get here and had left his entire family behind. He used to be a teacher, was adopted by a British couple as a child and they educated him in a christian missionary school...He thought he was coming to Australia for a good life, to find peace and this is what he got. He was just so sad. We talked for about an hour...he told me the police had told him to go to the hospital to get his injuries documented and that they advised him he should move immediately but he didn't know where to go. I said straight out...well Joe there is no way you can stay here...I will get dressed for work and I will drive you up to the hospital. With that I got up out of my chair...he reassured me that he was a man of God and not to be afraid of him...there was no way he would hurt me...he had been a missionary is some non discript African branch of Christianity. I turned to him and said 'I know you won't hurt me...that's why I let you in'...with that, I got up out of my chair and he grabbed my hand...he said 'Please,please sit down'...he was looking at me straight in the eye...he said...you have the light of God in you...I can see it' I'm just sayin...yeah that's because I work and walk in the light...he said, 'I want to give you a blessing in my faith from the people of my tribe'...I'm just goin along...yeah whatever...he told me to put my hands, palms out and upright beside my shoulders and to close my eyes' I was a bit reluctant to shut them...well for obvious reasons...but I did. He put his thumb on my third eye and had the other hand above my crown chakra...he said to me '...do you want to see and feel the light and love of God?'...I just go...yes I want to see and feel the light and love blah blah...he said open your eyes but leave your hands where they are. So I did...next thing he claps three times, really loudly in front of my face and says...'well do you feel it?' I said 'feel what?' he said 'In your fingers, going through your whole body'. All of a sudden...I could feel this amazing tingling sensation just vibrating through my fingertips then just gently permeating through my whole body through the top of my head...it was incredible. I'm going...yeah I really feel it Joe...I really, really feel it Joe...and I started laughing'. He said to me 'this is what I give you for being my friend...I have no money to thankyou...so I give you this blessing and protection'.
I was just so deeply touched, I nearly burst into tears again but I kept it together. I went upstairs, got ready for work while dear Joe sat on my lounge playing with my cats (whom unusually went straight to him)...then we got in the car and I dropped him up at the hospital and I went to work. I just felt strangely euphoric all day.
TO BE CONTINUED.
Luvya lotsa

The Speech of the Unknown
From the Editor of Reverse Spins: The following is taken from Washington and His Generals: or, Legends of the Revolution by George Lippard, published in 1847. The signers of the Declaration of Independence sat in Independence Hall at Philadelphia, contemplating losing their heads or being hanged. Their courage wavered. The document sat there unsigned. An extraordinary catalyst was needed to move them to action. An unknown man rose and gave an electrifying speech. He disappeared soon after.
By signing the Declaration, all were guilty of high treason under British law. The penalty for high treason was to be hanged by the neck until unconscious, then cut down and revived, then disemboweled and cut into quarters. The head and quarters were at the disposal of the crown.
No wonder they wavered! No wonder they discussed back and forth for days on end before signing the document that carried so grave a penalty. An old legend dramatizes the story of the one who galvanized the delegates and gave them the courage to sign that document.
But still there is doubt–and that pale-faced man, shrinking in one corner, squeaks out something about axes, scaffolds, and a–gibbet!
"Gibbet!" echoes a fierce, bold voice, that startles men from their seats–and look yonder! A tall slender man rises, dressed–although it is summer time–in a dark robe. Look how his white hand undulates as it is stretched slowly out, how that dark eye burns, while his words ring through the hall. (We do not know his name, let us therefore call his appeal)
THE SPEECH OF THE UNKNOWN.
"Gibbet? They may stretch our necks on all the gibbets in the land–they may turn every rock into a scaffold–every tree into a gallows, every home into a grave, and yet the words on that Parchment can never die!
"They may pour our blood on a thousand scaffolds, and yet from every drop that dyes the axe, or drips on the sawdust of the block, a new martyr to Freedom will spring into birth!
"The British King may blot out the Stars of God from His sky, but he cannot blot out His words written on the Parchment there! The works of God may perish–His Word, never!
"These words will go forth to the world when our bones are dust. To the slave in the mines they will speak–hope–to the mechanic in his workshop–freedom–to the coward-kings these words will speak, but not in tones of flattery. No, no! They will speak like the flaming syllables on Belshazzar's wall–
THE DAYS OF YOUR PRIDE AND GLORY ARE NUMBERED!
THE DAYS OF JUDGMENT AND REVOLUTION DRAW NEAR!
"Yes, that Parchment will speak to the Kings in a language sad and terrible as the trump of the Archangel. You have trampled on mankind long enough. At last the voice of human woe has pierced the ear of God, and called His Judgment down! You have waded on to thrones over seas of blood–you have trampled on to power over the necks of millions–you have turned the poor man's sweat and blood into robes for your delicate forms, into crowns for your anointed brows. Now Kings–now purpled Hangmen of the world–for you come the days of axes and gibbets and scaffolds–for you the wrath of man–for you the lightnings of God!–
"Look! How the light of your palaces on fire flashes up into the midnight sky!
"Now Purpled Hangmen of the world–turn and beg for mercy!
"Where will you find it?
"Not from God, for you have blasphemed His laws!
"Not from the People, for you stand baptized in their blood!
"Here you turn, and lo! a gibbet!
"There–and a scaffold looks you in the face.
"All around you–death–and nowhere pity!
"Now executioners of the human race, kneel down, yes, kneel down upon the sawdust of the scaffold–lay your perfumed heads upon the block–bless the axe as it falls–the axe that you sharpened for the poor man's neck!
"Such is the message of that Declaration to Man, to the Kings of the world! And shall we falter now? And shall we start back appalled when our feet press the very threshold of Freedom? Do I see quailing faces around me, when our wives have been butchered–when the hearthstones of our land are red with the blood of little children?
"What are these shrinking hearts and faltering voices here, when the very Dead of our battlefields arise, and call upon us to sign that Parchment, or be accursed forever?
"Sign! if the next moment the gibbet's rope is round your neck! Sign! if the next moment this hall rings with the echo of the falling axe! Sign! By all your hopes in life or death, as husbands–as fathers–as men–sign your names to the Parchment or be accursed forever!
"Sign–and not only for yourselves, but for all ages. For that Parchment will be the Text-book of Freedom–the Bible of the Rights of Man forever!
"Sign–for that declaration will go forth to American hearts forever, and speak to those hearts like the voice of God! And its work will not be done, until throughout this wide Continent not a single inch of ground owns the sway of a British King!
"Nay, do not start and whisper with surprise! It is a truth, your own hearts witness it, God proclaims it.–This Continent is the property of a free people, and their property alone. [17-second applause] God, I say, proclaims it!
"Look at this strange history of a band of exiles and outcasts, suddenly transformed into a people–look at this wonderful Exodus of the oppressed of the Old World into the New, where they came, weak in arms but mighty in Godlike faith–nay, look at this history of your Bunker Hill–your Lexington–where a band of plain farmers mocked and trampled down the panoply of British arms, and then tell me, if you can, that God has not given America to the free?
[12-second applause]
"It is not given to our poor human intellect to climb the skies, to pierce the councils of the Almighty One. But methinks I stand among the awful clouds which veil the brightness of Jehovah's throne. Methinks I see the Recording Angel–pale as an angel is pale, weeping as an angel can weep–come trembling up to that Throne, and speak his dread message–
"`Father! the old world is baptized in blood! Father, it is drenched with the blood of millions, butchered in war, in persecution, in slow and grinding oppression! Father–look, with one glance of Thine Eternal eye, look over Europe, Asia, Africa, and behold evermore, that terrible sight, man trodden down beneath the oppressor's feet–nations lost in blood–Murder and Superstition walking hand in hand over the graves of their victims, and not a single voice to whisper, "Hope to Man!"'
"He stands there, the Angel, his hands trembling with the black record of human guilt. But hark! The voice of Jehovah speaks out from the awful cloud–`Let there be light again. Let there be a New World. Tell my people–the poor–the trodden down millions, to go out from the Old World. Tell them to go out from wrong, oppression and blood–tell them to go out from this Old World–to build my altar in the New!'
[11-second applause]
"As God lives, my friends, I believe that to be his voice! Yes, were my soul trembling on the wing for Eternity, were this hand freezing in death, were this voice choking with the last struggle, I would still, with the last impulse of that soul, with the last wave of that hand, with the last gasp of that voice, implore you to remember this truth–God has given America to the free!
[13-second applause]
"Yes, as I sank down into the gloomy shadows of the grave, with my last gasp, I would beg you to sign that Parchment, in the name of the God, who made the Saviour who redeemed you–in the name of the millions whose very breath is now hushed in intense expectation, as they look up to you for the awful words–`You are free!'"
[9-second applause]
O many years have gone since that hour–the Speaker, his brethren, all, have crumbled into dust, but it would require an angel's pen to picture the magic of that Speaker's look, the deep, terrible emphasis of his voice, the prophet-like beckoning of his hand, the magnetic flame which shooting from his eyes, soon fired every heart throughout the hall!
The work was done. A wild murmur thrills through the hall.–Sign? Hah? There is no doubt now. Look! How they rush forward–stout-hearted John Hancock has scarcely time to sign his bold name, before the pen is grasped by another–another and another! Look how the names blaze on the Parchment–Adams and Lee and Jefferson and Carroll, and now, Roger Sherman the Shoemaker.
And here comes good old Stephen Hopkins–yes, trembling with palsy, he totters forward–quivering from head to foot, with his shaking hands he seizes the pen, he scratches his patriot-name.
Then comes Benjamin Franklin the Printer....
The Original Declaration of Independence (larger view)
And now the Parchment is signed; and now let word go forth to the People in the streets–to the homes of America–to the camp of Mister Washington, and the Palace of George the Idiot-King–let word go out to all the earth–
And, old man in the steeple, now bare your arm, and grasp the Iron Tongue, and let the bell speak out the great truth:
FIFTY-SIX TRADERS, LAWYERS, FARMERS AND MECHANICS HAVE THIS DAY SHOOK THE SCHACKLES OF THE WORLD!
[13-second applause]
Hark! Hark to the toll of that Bell!
Is there not a deep poetry in that sound, a poetry more sublime than Shakespeare or Milton?
Is there not a music in the sound, that reminds you of those awful tones which broke from angel-lips, when news of the child Jesus burst on the shepherds of Bethlehem?
For that Bell now speaks out to the world, that–
GOD HAS GIVEN THE AMERICAN CONTINENT TO THE FREE–THE TOILING MILLIONS OF THE HUMAN RACE–AS THE LAST ALTAR OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN ON THE GLOBE–THE HOME OF THE OPPRESSED, FOREVERMORE!
[10-second applause]
Are we not bought with a price?
This reading is taken from the book Washington and His Generals: or, Legends of the Revolution by George Lippard, published in 1847.
Manly P. Hall, in his book "The Secret Destiny of America" chapter 17, wrote:
"Some years ago, while visiting the Theosophical colony at Ojai, California, A. T. Warrington, esoteric secretary of the society, discussed with me a number of historical curiosities, which led to examination of his rare old volume of early American political speeches of a day earlier than those preserved in the first volumes of the Congressional Record.
He made particular mention of a speech by an unknown man at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The particular book was not available at the moment, but Mr. Warrington offered to send me a copy of the speech, and he did; but unfortunately neglected to append the title or the date of the book. He went to India subsequently, and died at the Theosophical headquarters at Adyar, in Madras. ..."
The Mysterious Rosicrucian Who was the Father of the American Republic The story behind the Speech of the Unknown.
Editor: In esoteric circles, many believe that the unknown man was Saint Germain. Only a master of his attainment could have charged the atmosphere of the room with such fire that all fear melted away. He had assembled many of his most stalwart friends (e.g. Ben Franklin) from over the centuries to embody at that point in time and space to help create a country dedicated to freedom, the most important freedom being that of religion. His greatest ally in that cause was none other than George Washington. The father of our country was not in the room of course. He was not a delegate. Go to The Mystical George Washington below, to learn of his extraordinary connection to God and the secret destiny of America.

If power is corrupting, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, why would people of a Nation or world give absolute power to a few over the many? Recent events in the world are showing the true nature of a certain group on Earth. If you suspect a government or private organization behind the world’s problems, you are seeing the results, but not seeing the culprit. Like a thief in the night, they hide behind truth, and use half-truths to misguide. This, for one, is why I do not give information that is matter of fact. It is up to your spirit to guide you to the truth. I simply provide a retrospect of what has happened, what is happening, and hint to what is to come. You will find the truth on your own without lies and half-truths to misguide you. Never trust anyone who says they have the answer and tell you what to think. Chances are they are deceiving you. That is not to say that all gift bearers are bad. Some give personal truths with good intentions, but not all personal truths are true for everyone. Much of the Universe is perspective. We each create our own reality. This is the point of the Schrödinger Theory; that reality is created by the beholder’s perception of what is true and what is not.
There will be an event soon, which will open further discussion on the Universe’s secrets. Technology will not provide any sanctuary or those without personal insight on the Universe. Keep eye to the sky and watch over the Sun’s actions. The Winds of change will soon be upon the Earth. When mountains move from their place, and the Earth bellows its birth pains, many will begin to see the truth of what lies before Humanity.
Do not let those in power protect themselves and hide the truth from the whole of the Earth. Hold those in power answerable to those who give them their power, the people. Many entertainment programs have been created over the many years of civilized nations that speak of the ending era, which will soon be upon the Earth. This does not mean the end of time or Humanity. This is a threshold into a new world not yet explored by the eyes and bodies of Humankind. Some of these programs have given a personal insight unto the truth, hinting at what is possible. Some smaller groups are providing information that is most useful to Humankind, for anyone with the openness to hear their thoughts. As I stated, do not take it for absolute truth, but take it for what it is; personal truth. Let your soul guide your hearts to the absolute truth and let the God Source help you discern the truth from the half-truths.
The political chaos in the United States right now is one such birth pain the people must be aware of. The fight is not for the people, it is to gain power over the people. The winner will be the ones to take credit for “Providing” for the people, but in reality they are merely pacifying the people’s worries. No matter what people choose, a power will be in place with absolute power over the people. It is up to the people to ensure those who take the reins of power use it for the common good, and not themselves. The same goes for nearly every industrialized nation on Earth. When a governing body misuses their bestowed power, it is time for Revolution. Revolution comes at the point of the tongue and not at the point of a sword, so do not misinterpret what I say. Wars are fought by the blind, while revolutions are made by those with open eyes.
Let your eyes be open, and your hearts be truthful. When the Light-Giver blows the Wind of Change on the Earth for all to feel, the time is at hand for the wise to open the book of truth. Let those with the Wisdom of the Ancients post to the Watcher Towers of the four corners, wait and watch, be on guard and ready to give your words of wisdom.

Although people are starting to open up to the idea that both creationism and evolutionism could exist together, there are still many people I come across that think otherwise. I wrote a paper on this a few years ago, and ever since its been an interest of mine to reteach people how to think about these two philosophies.
Here's what I say to people who think its one or the other. 1) Evolution is pretty widely accepted in the scientific community as fact. If you don't believe this is so, then you haven't researched this statistic. Evolution happens in the species (micro) and between species (macro). 2) Evolutionists do NOT claim that humans evolved from apes. It is believed, however, that all primates had a common ancestor. This species has not been found definitively, but many fossils do suggest that there was a common ancestor. 3) If there was influence on our coming to being on this planet, divine or otherwise, this does not correlate at all with the process of evolution. The two theories are explaining two mutually exclusive processes that have little in common. For instance, us humans use genetic engineering in many ways. However, after a new thing is created, it will change in time. Our creations will evolve.
I hope you can follow my logic, and that it will inspire you to talk to an avid creationist or evolutionist and convince them to rethink their philosophy. These two ideas can easily exist alongside one another, and I personally believe they are both valid and completely true. I think the evolution of our brain is due to an outside experiment, and that the whole process of evolution is connected with the spiritual realm. And evolution is obviously a scientific fact.

This is a continuation of Tape 1. This is Tape 2 of Secrets of the Subterranean Cities. Just a quick recap. We were discussing the city of Telos, which is a Lemurian subterranean city that was built 12,000 years ago as the result or from the result of Atlantis and Lemuria sinking, and during the Atlantean-Lemurian wars which we then made subterranean cities. Telos is underneath Mt. Shasta and it is the city that I'm from. This tape will discuss the culture of Telos.
Again a recap. The city is built on five different levels, the top level being the main level of the city itself. The second level down, the level of manufacturing and where many classes take place. The third level being the hydroponic gardens. The fourth level being part hydroponic gardens, part manufacturing and the nature level. And the very bottom level as being the nature level where many, many species of animals and plants exist.
Many people have asked "How on earth can you live under, under the earth? Number one, what kind of light do you have, or do you have light? Or are you mole people?" Yes we do have light. There is a process that a stone with a high crystalline content is fused with an electromagnetic force of energy. This infusion of energy, in essense, causes the crystalline matrix of the stone to create a polarity that allows the stone to pull in the even invisible rays, and readmit them as visible light. In an essense, it becomes a small sun. Our main lighting structure throughout the city, as with the other subterranean cities is produced by these stones. The light they produce is a full spectrum lighting, admitting all rays. In essense this energy infusion process then makes the stone become a small sun and the sun will burn for about a half a million years before the stone, before the crystalline matrix breaks down and the stone becomes no longer capable of functioning in this manner. So thus we have lights that will burn for many, many hundreds of thousands of years still.
Within this structure we have created a small ecosystem. In other words, we get our air by plants. We produce carbon monoxide, we and the animals, and the plants take in the carbon monoxide and create the oxygen for us. So in essense it's a small ecosystem just as it works on the surface. We also have some vents that go to the surface and brings in the air. We also have water in some areas moving at high speeds. This creates a circulation of the air, freshening it, plus it creates many negative ions. So in essense it is a total ecosystem very much like the one that functions on the surface. As a matter of fact, it has become so effective that more and more do we not depend on the air vents. As a matter of fact, as polluted as the air is somewhat becoming, the air vents are sort of not a plus.
The government of Telos is constructed on the format of a Council of Twelve. These twelve beings, for the foremost, are ascended masters. They are beings who have proved themselves of being in high wisdom and being able to hold their head cool during any sort of incident. We, always within our Council, six men and six women, so that the Council also always remains balanced, that both flames, the male flame and the female flame are equally represented. From the major Council of the Twelve, it goes down to smaller councils throughout the city, also operating on the level of twelve.
Individual areas bring in their problems to the local council, and if the local council cannot deliberate a solution that is acceptable to all concerned they then bring it to the larger councils, and then finally to the original Council of Twelve. For individual problems, these do not come before the council. Instead these come before what we call arbitrators. Arbitrators are usually priests or priestesses with very much an understanding of the human psyche and are also capable of looking into the Akashas. These arbitrators will listen to both sides of a story, if it is, for instance, a dispute civil, and will then make a decision based on what they have heard and what they have read in the Akashas on both sides.
We have immediately decided that since this method works, once an arbitrator makes a decision, understanding that they will make it from the highest level, being priests and priestesses, they will not be caught into a personalization, either for or against either side. So we have decided that we will accept their decision, whatever it is, and incidences stop there. And we have also found, rather than arguing with each other, should a small incident come up, we immediately go to arbitrators, understanding that an argument can more often than not make it worse than anything else.
Heading the Council of Twelve, the official title is Council of Twelve plus One. The One is actually two beings themselves, which is the Ra and Rana Mu, which are the king and queen of Telos. Ra and Rana signifies that they are high Melchizedeck priests and priestess to start with. They are also usually twin flames and it is a hereditary position. The Ra and Rana Mu lineage is unbroken for over 30,000 years as it stands right now. When the next Ra and Rana Mu are being chosen they do not automatically go to the oldest son or daughter, but the Ra and Rana Mu decide which of their children or grandchildren are the most capable of carrying it off. That being is then instructed that sooner or later they will have to go through full temple training and become a full Melchizedeck priest or priestess.
In the arrangement, as it is, when the Council of Twelve makes a decision, the Ra and Rana Mu can back it up or they can ask for a change. And one more voice comes into this government process, and that's the temple. The temple is recognized as the final word on any decision, because in many ways this is, as are the other subterranean cities, a temple society. The temple, even though most of the time, will not interfere with civic government, as I said, they can make final decisions through the high priest and high priestess.
The temple is run by the Melchizedeck. The Melchizedeck is a cosmic priesthood. Everywhere in the universe the Melchizedeck exists. It is all those who are bringing the light plans from the highest realms down to the other realms. A Melchizedeck priest or priestess by their very proof, prove that they will always set light or they will always set the good of the many above their personal good, which has also been proven time and time again as to why the temple can make the last decision, because they will always place what the light prefers, in essence what God wishes way over what they desire, what they would choose to achieve. Thus the temple also becomes a very good sounding board to what we are doing at the time.
Being a temple society, many, many people take their training at the temple. And many people spend time at the temple, not just those who end up becoming priests and priestess, but those who are going into other walks of life that they need a greater understanding of the human psychic, a greater understanding of spirit to achieve their job as it should be done.
Which brings us to, let's go through, for instance, a life of what it would be like for someone living in Telos, starting with their conception or childbirth. In Telos as soon as a woman realizes that she is pregnant, she immediately goes to the temple and she's put in a room that gives nothing but beautiful pictures, music, she is constantly informed that she's beautiful, she's perfect, her child is beautiful, her child is perfect. So you might say the very first cells of this child's conception is filled with beauty, with light, with perfection. And that is their building blocks, there's where they start. Just as they are starting to understand that emotions and such go right into a child's cells. For instance they are starting to understand that a child who had parents that were constantly arguing during their conception and ingestion period, the child grows up insecure, quite often argumentive, or they will grow up totally feeling not good enough, totally feeling that they are not wanted. It has been proven that children that have constantly heard from their parents before they were even born, "That I didn't want this child," whatever, that child will constantly grow into "I'm not good enough."
So we start children off on the right foot immediately by continually enforcing that they are good enough, they're beautiful. A mother and a father, because a child has a psychic bond to both, immediately start talking to the child, start telling it how perfect it is. They spend lots of time viewing things that are beautiful. They spend lots of time singing to each other, playing little funny games, in essense going through a honeymoon again. So the child is all part of that joy. Another thing that makes the child-birthing process very different is we have a process that speeds it up. Therefore a woman only carries a child for three months. In many ways this is what the human condition was meant to be. Most human females on other planets do only carry a child for three months. That is why that a three month fetus is basically formed.
All it does from then is grow. This speeded up process, it is actually completed even sooner and just grows. So a three month baby, of course, will not be as large as a nine month baby, but it will be in the speeded up process more than large enough to support itself on its own. But we are trying to return back to the time that we don't even need the speeded up process and the whole pregnancy process returns to only being a three month process. Also returning to that place, women have much, much easier childbirth as you can, I'm sure, understand.
Another thing that we do constantly in childbirth, is that all our births are underwater. We have found that underwater births bring the greatest ease to both the parent and the child. When a woman goes into labor, she immediately gets a birthing priestess and then they go to a tub in one of the birthing sections of the temple and the tub is filled with body temperature water, and the birthing priestess puts the mother in a slight hypnotic state. In this hypnotic state, she is in nowhere even resembling a trance, but she is simply told that there will be no pain. This suggestions, as well as the underwater births, creates a comfortable environment and most women never have any pain whatsoever. They simply feel the pressure.
In an underwater birth, as many women are starting to discover now, when they are in water during labor, that that would be labor pains simply feels like pressure. More and more we are trying to alert women to this phenomenon. That that is pain on dry land is simply pressure under water. This serves a second purpose. The child when then born is not brought from one environment into shock tactics as it is much on the surface now. When a child is born they are immediately pulled from a warm, comfortable, wet environment into a cold, dry one with bright lights. And in the old days they even used to slap them, which immediately brough a human being, for those of you who now have dealt with rebirthing, into the idea that life is hard, life hurts, life is painful. Thus, infants start shutting down from the time of their birth, and they just continue to shut down — thus not ever achieving the spiritual and physical levels that they could achieve because they've already decided that life hurts too much to be fully there.
In an underwater birth a child goes from a warm environment right into a tub of warm water and it is immediately cuddled by both parents who get in the tub with the birthing priestess, and the child is cuddled and petted underneath the water so that it immediately knows that its parents are there for it, therefore it does not go into insecurity. From there a child, of its own will come to the surface and take a quick breath and then dive down again and breathe from the umbilical chord, and then come to the surface, on their own again, and take a deep breath. This also expands the lungs slowly. The child can actually breathe for as much as a half hour on the umbilical chord from once it is born.
This quick breaths does not cause the pain and the tissue, some of the tissue is actually damaged quite often in births that are not on, are not in water, because a child is forced to come and take a deep, deep breath out of cold, painful air. That forces these lung sacks to immediately expand and create great pain, sometimes even creating scar tissue which makes the adult more succeptible to things like tuberculosis, emphysema, colic. Many, many of the other lung disorders that are very, very prevalent, and it also keeps the person, even as an adult from breathing deeply as their normal state. Thus they are always half alive because they are only half breathing.
Then, when the child has reached the point that they are breathing completely, just the air, the unbilical chord is cut with a laser which causes a very fast, painless cut. And of course the umbilical chord has quit pulsating.
From their birth, a child is immediately assigned 12 sets of godparents. These godparents give a child a chance to interact with more than just their birth family. True, they spend most of their time with their birth family, but also spending a little time here and there with each of their godparents as they grow up, it gives them a true sense of community and the brotherhood of men, rather than "Them and us." So the child immediately starts looking at the whole world as their family, instead of becoming very, very narrow and personalized. This also keeps families from developing little cliques that in the long run become quite detrimental to a developing soul, where you're saying "Well we just do things because my grandparents did it and my great grandparents and my great-great grandparents" and so on and so on, which quite often produces thought patterns within a family that can be quite detrimental to the development of the soul.
By having 12 sets of godparents that the children spend time with, plus the fact the child's parents are usually godparents to at least a couple of children, bringing other children to spend time with them that way too. As I said, it continually creates the sense of community. It constantly creates the sense of oneness. The old saying that is if you wanted to stop prejudice then you would immediately send the person to go live with that they have been prejudice with, and they'll soon find out we're all just human.
From there, as child prepares for their education, within the educational process in Telos, children start their first education at about the time they're three years old, very much like your nursery school, except it is based on the fact of the intelligence of a human being, rather than the stupidity. Thus while children are very, very clear, sometimes clearer at three years old than they are at five, or six, making it easier as many of you are starting to discover, of infants doing algebra, young children learning mathematics very, very early, learning to read very, very early. Well it is three, sometimes even earlier, is when children are start taught these things, as well as playing, they are also taught the rudimentaries of mathematics. They are also taught to read. They are taught to understand abstract concepts. They are taught to think, to understand how things work.
I mean we've all gone through the children period of the "why" and "why not" and the period when children were the "why" stage, where everything you answer is a why or a how. We've learned to take that period and instead of just saying after being asked why on fourteen questions, the parents quite often just flip out and the next thing they know they're telling their child to shutup. But if a society is setup that when children are in the why stage, they're already starting instruction, then that's used. The whys are being answered by professionals. And our professionals are more often than not priests and priestesses of the temple. There are those who are strictly teachers, but most teachers have gone through a full temple training. The purpose of that is that they are not only feeding the mind, but to help feed the soul, the spirit, the understanding of what we're really here for, not just calculations and words.
Within this setup, as I said, children start schooling at a much earlier period, as they move through their schooling process, we have learned that it is very, very acceptable and very important that a child as well as being taught mathematics, science, spelling, grammar, literature, all the most common subjects in schooling, we find that it's just as important that they learn to meditate. It's just as important that they learn to dance. Just as important that they learn sports. Just as important they learn how to sing. Just as important that they learn how to act. What I mean by act is that they're, we've got five-year-olds already writing and putting on plays that relate to five-year-old problems and the five-year-old way of looking at life, which can be quite humorous for adults. But they're already being allowed to express. And even the learning, the strict learning process is complimented with play...

a message from Sonia Barrett
Wednesday, 15 September, 2010
Throughout the course of our lives we have heard the phrase “it doesn’t matter,” or “it matters.” Little attention is given to the deeper connotation of these words. The idea that something “matters” or doesn’t “matter” is a direct reference to the need for it to take shape or form. If it matters, this would imply that it is necessary for it to take on form, to materialize, whether physically or emotionally. We are giving permission for it to move out of wave form into particle form. If it does not matter then there is no need for it to take shape or form; no need for it to move out of its wave form.
Our lives are based on the things that matter to us, but upon close examination we might be quite surprised to realize where emphasis has been placed. Exactly where have we placed our emphasis? What things seem to matter? That which matters exists as the substance of our material experience, for when it does not matter then it does not exist for us. However, it might matter to someone else, and therefore exists in an allotted time and space designated to accommodate that which matters, or will materialize. Ultimately our reality is constructed of only the things that matter. Therefore all that seems to exist in the invisible holds a space of invisibility from our sight, because such things have no relevance to us at the moment; they do not matter in our current paradigm. When it matters, then components of the invisible will materialize.
It is amazing to think that we have used these words an incalculable number of times to create reality. We pay attention to the things that matter. Here we have it once again: a set of words heard throughout our lives, from our parents, school, work and those in authority. So what currency are we using to pay attention? We are using our energy to bring things into focus. Our applied attention is really a projection of energy, or more specifically, a navigation of emotions, which are electrochemical impulses. So, we make payment with the thought or emotion behind the energy output. Since we know that it is the science of observation—the focus of the observer—that creates reality, then we can more clearly see how we create those things that we give focus to; those things that we pay attention to.
Collective reality is a result of a group effort of determining what matters, and in so doing what we see before us as a common experience are those things that we have each agreed matter. This formula can be seen in full effect in an entire culture or race of people. The media has assisted in planting seeds in our minds about what does or does not matter, and so we materialize those things through the power of suggestion. The same holds true with projections through movies, spiritual leaders, education, government and the corporate structure. We are constantly being reminded of what should be important, or what is expected to be important to us. The subtlety of the suggestions is clever. We are prompted to pay attention to the impending doom of the environment or of the potential doom of 2012.
What matters, paper or plastic or an environmental bag?
Which do you choose?
Do you choose out of fear, or do you choose based on your own personal preference?
This simple process of consumers switching from plastic to carrying their own environmentally–friendly bags shows the easy manipulation of the human mind based on information cataloged and fed to consumers, who will more than likely not do their own research into what they are being told. Much of this new environmental programming is simply more of the same old manipulation by those who determine what should matter. The energy of the masses is always needed to construct the vision of what collective reality should look like. They need you to pay attention. The Poverty program is quite prominent in people of color throughout the planet, and is reinforced by the manner in which the rest of society is encouraged to pay attention to this matter. Both sides lend energy to an acceptance of a people in what seems to be irreversible poverty. The minds of an entire race of people hold this matter in focus as an accepted fate. Those who understand this science do all that is necessary to hold this program in place, with the support of an unsuspecting society.
Since we are experiencing reality on the material plane, then everything here matters to us. We don’t seem to deviate from the pattern of reality we hold in focus. There is no deviation from the base structure or model of reality.
Definitions For Matter
Matter is a general term for the substance of which all physical objects are made.[1][2] Typically, matter includes atoms and other particles which have mass. A common way of defining matter is as anything that has mass and occupies volume.[
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter
1. Something that occupies space and can be perceived by one or more senses; a physical body, a physical substance, or the universe as a whole.
2. Physics. Something that has mass and exists as a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.
http://www.answers.com/topic/matter Britannica
The Patriarch Hui-neng “Our Essence of Mind is intrinsically pure. All things are only its manifestations, and good deeds and evil deeds are only the result of good thoughts and evil thoughts respectively. Imagination, thought and will make deeds, and by our deeds we make ourselves. All that we are is the result of our thoughts; it is founded on our thoughts, made up of our thoughts.”
Although matter is not the end–all of the creative process, it is, however, of extreme relevance in the process of arriving at the material level of reality. While the material world consists of mass, volume and weight equating to solidity, it is mind that forms the foundation upon which reality stands. It is consciousness that defines the level of mind shaping what will matter.
Perhaps it’s time to re–evaluate those things you have placed importance on, those things you have paid much attention to, and those things you’ve deemed to matter. How much life–force have you expended on things which, perhaps with more clarity and insight, might not matter? Everything that matters must be supported by the energizer of that creation. We are the umbilical cord to our creations. Those things that seem to matter or take form also include our struggles and our belief systems. This kind of emotional engagement has weight and can become quite draining as we continue to support and focus our attention on them without resolution.
In this article it is important to briefly examine the three states of Matter and their behavior:
GAS
Assumes the shape and volume of its container
Particles can move past one another
Compressible
Lots of free space between particles
Flows easily
LIQUID
Assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies
Particles can move/slide past one another
Not easily compressible
Little free space between particles
Flows easily
SOLID
Retains a fixed volume and shape
Rigid - particles locked into place
Not easily compressible
Little free space between particles
Does not flow easily
Rigid - particles cannot move/slide past one another
Take note of the similarities and differences between all three but most importantly examine the behavior of the solid state: it’s fixed, rigid, not easily compressed and not much free space between particles. Now examine the nature of the human experience in the physical world and the fear of change and movement. Whatever we lock into, we stay there. It’s a struggle to move from a familiar position or experience, and so it is with our addiction to the collective model of reality by which we operate. These vehicles are made up of solid matter, which reinforces our fear of expansion or change. We emulate the behavior of the particles. The irony of the “matter” is that the behavior of the wave and particle interchange is dependent on the consciousness of the observer of the experience.
This insight into the science of what matters caused me to examine and re–evaluate those things that might well be creating interference to changing aspects of my storyline. Your storyline is being held in place because it encompasses a great many things that matter to you. It’s therefore challenging to change the habitual story because you are no longer aware of where your emphasis has been placed. Supporting your story and paying attention or focus to it has become an automatic process, so you no longer see that you are lost in these matters. A key realization now is that nothing is final and that becoming aware of this simple but impactful understanding can, in one afternoon, shed light on what will matter or perhaps will no longer matter to you. This can result in a liberation and self–realization that you may not have felt for quite some time. It matters, it matters not!

FROM MY BLOG @ http://niinac.blogspot.com/2010/09/unity-how-facebook-can-change-world.html
♥•☆.•*~ ~*•.☆•♥
Last night I visited the Helsinki Comedy Festival, the English Night, and had a blast looking at Stand-Up Comedy merely from the view of humour - recognising how realizing absurdity of a false statement can cause people physical laughter and amusement and cause a great flow of endorphins (I am getting technical but sometimes you got to, I enjoy laughing, but you should always know why you are doing what you doing, it doesn't take anything away from it). This performer from Sweden had a joke about Facebook, how people who would suddenly loose internet would have to reach for help in analogue Facebook. It got many laughs, from me as well, as he went from door to door asking if people ‘Like’d his shoes, but this got me to thinking much more deeply than it was originally meant to. So here follows my thoughts after sleeping on it. I literally had to be out of bed at 6 A.M to write this all done.
♥•☆.•*~ ~*•.☆•♥
What is Facebook? It promotes, Sharing, Unity, Global Family, Friendship, right? When you log on you feel part of something bigger, a NETwork of individual with common nominators - and this is closer to the Higher Truths than is first evident.
It is the moment of Unity. During the summer we had the Unity Consciousness Weekend, the effects of it is still felt in the communities that value Unity.
But what kind of Unity are we talking about here?
Not the commonly used one for sure - but the Unity of Souls - The common term Unity prepares us to Spiritual Unity. It eases us into the field of brothers and sisters, common goals of life. I think the African-American community (among others) has greatly hold onto Spiritual Unity, a man is your Brother, a woman your Sister. That is the best way to describe the Spiritual Unity as well. We are all a giant interconnected living family. You are on the Soul Level my Sister and you my Brothers. Your Soul, like my Soul, is a piece of the puzzle that is our Mother/Father God, the Soul of each of our Sisters and Brothers is part of the God that is us.
There is running joke among us who recognise Unity Consciousness and Divine in each other:
A man proclaimed loudly how he was an atheist. "I don't believe in god, I don't believe in god! I don't believe in god!" He did this for many life times, until he had to stop - because he learned he was god.
You have access to your god Spark, your Divinity - if you wish it. You can talk to your divinity when ever you want to, you can ask and you'll get an answer but it depend on you wither you listen, hear it, accept it.
This Divinity has many names - like is common for humans - some call it our Soul, some our Higher Self (literally meaning a divine self that is much taller, wiser, brighter being, and unconditionally loving than our human bodies), some Divinity, some Goddess or God but whatever we call it, it is a part of us, like our Heart - you cannot see it everyday, but you know it is there, and that it is a vital part of you.
This Higher Self (this is the term that feels most comfortable with me, but you can use which ever you want in your head as you read on) is continuously in connection to each and every human's Higher Self. God sees and hears all. We have heard that before haven't we?
But instead of it being an old man in the sky listening in, it is a web of bright sparks of God in each of us, seeing over the whole planet. Sound familiar? It should. Internet is another way to be in ultimate connection with each other, to be one in this web, net, of ideas and thoughts. But internet alone is not enough, we as people need a tool to teach us how to use this web for the highest good of all. As it is in macrocosmos, it is in microcosmos. We as people have to find Unity in more than just an ideal, an actual tangible means to live among each other.
To each planet its own network.
We are being taught in the spiritual circles how lies and secrets are not beneficial to us - I see why, all I have to do is ask my Higher Self and I will know. Secrets harm their keepers, they make you believe that this bad thing you have done should never be uttered but protected with silence. So it festers within, eating on your fear and past memories, growing, growing, growing until it becomes this monstrous thing! Inside your head that is.
You are bound to this fear of what if someone will know this horrible thing, that I once stopped loving and tried to move on, but chickened out and now have to live with it. There are better ways to go about this.
Simply choose differently, you are capable of choosing happiness even if getting to it seems harder to do than hate. Life is school, it is in no way easy, but once you understand it you realize what it is about and start navigating it, learning how to feel genuingly, it becomes easier. There are fights and break-up and divorces until we learn to let go of anger and fear, personally as a child of divorce I have to tell you - it is no big deal, unless you make it to one. I had the wisdom to know that it is not my place to order my parents around, "You have to be this image of you I have created, because I am comfortable with that and nothing else." "Oh, you're different?" "No, won't have that, will be mad, petty and spiteful instead of accepting, loving and caring of the special divine spark of life that you are." The big revelation is, it applies to all people, all relationships!
Now you are wondering what this has to do with Facebook?
Basic thing about Facebook is sharing. You share your ideas, you share your worries, you share disappointments and you share your love, friendship and caring for each other.
People make a huge deal about how Facebook is fake and you wouldn't do that in real life - to this let me remind you how humanity LEARNS.
Trial and error, we try try and try, we fumble and fall and we get back up and try try and try again until driving that bike is SECOND NATURE.
You see where I am getting with this?
There is a way for mainstream people and us to practise Unity Consciousness, Unity of being a Family, you and me, equal, loving, caring, full of happiness and support, there for each other instantly.
That Practice is Facebook.
I am sure this was not the original idea of the people who created Facebook, but I am sure if you think about it you can see the fine print of the idea that was typed down by OUR Higher Selves.
The most gruesome things appear of our profiles, sadness, depression, divorce in their barest form - and us others feel the pain, we help, support and care - learning to react the same way when one day someone you "currently are pretending" not to know on this earth says this on the street.
And we share the births of babies, finding of true love, amazing joy of merely a walk in the nature or the celebration of a person’s birthday or any other memorable day - we learn to share love, unconditional love, share our happiness instantly!
With 2012 and beyond coming, I can see a timeline, a purpose for Facebook - Can you see it?
Namaste - "The Divine in me, recognises the Divine in you."
P.S. I'd love to hear you spiritual views of facebook, please post your Comments and Replies. BE BLESSED IN LOVE, LIGHT AND JOY!

There are many ways to define the same thing and depending on where you are coming from, the light that reflects upon the situation will make the same thing look drastically different. Understanding this is one of the most important principles the learning experience called life can give to you. If we cannot respect the fact that each person goes through their journey individually then we must at least agree to keep our judgments to ourselves and allow future generations to see the world through their own eyes.
New Age Spirituality tells us that judgments do not serve man; it only prevents the unity needed to achieve amazing things. By focusing on differences instead of similarities we prove the ignorance of the self and intern separate each one of us from the foundation of civilization, grouping ourselves to accomplish greater tasks and thus encourage a higher rate of human survival.
Now that we are no longer are in need of protecting ourselves from the beast of this planet and we do not needed to hunt for our own food anymore, it seems that there is no need for unity. When in fact there is a great need for unity of all people. When we come together and open our hearts and minds (not to accept others values as our own) but to hold a new respect; that a person holds their values close to their hearts in the same way that you do. Then we can break bread together and unity shall begin, and intern humanity will see a great reduction in conflict and a serious jump in technological, philosophical and social advancement.

Hey there, I recently found this website and after browsing through the blogs and teachings I was inspired to join in and get to know people here to learn from and to teach what I've learned through my years of spiritual discovery. I'm grateful to have a place such as this with people who are so in tune with the cosmic order of the universe. I hope that together we can find a way to bring true peace to the world.
Blessings on all of your journeys toward our common destination!

What if we combine all the known new age philosophy, quantum and metaphysical theories in such a way where they all complement each other and work in harmony with the known scientifically theories of the universe. Then the understanding of these principles would look something like this:
We are all in charge of our own individual universe and digital physics would be the interpretation of what we are viewing as other peoples individual Universes. You must abide by the laws set forth in that persons individual Universe while engaged with in their Universe. This would explain the parallel Universe theory which has become so popular and how the law of attraction works without impinging on free will.
This is also where the Law of attraction would make the most sense, because if you can control everything around you with your mind (including others actions towards you) then when someone else enters into your experience they are subject to your beliefs about your specific Universe and events their-in. Giving you full control of visiting beings and this will dictate that nothing that does not match your specific vibration can enter. And if it does force itself upon you and your free will, then it would be subject to the law of increasing returns and be in vibration alignment to the same infringement in their personal Universe. Some call this karma but titles are not important to the purpose of this article.
So if we take our Universe and obtain complete control of all that is; as it is suggested by quantum physics that we create everything outside of ourselves. Then we are truly masters of the Universe and intern must be beings of great power. As creation is a huge undertaking for any being, be it a cup of coffee or a Universe.
So, what of our Creator? Then whatever we are living in that allows us to be this being of power; must be something so great that we would not be able to conceptualize this immense entity. If nature is any indication of what our creator would be then it would not sit still long enough for it to be defined as evolution is a natural binding principle.
The Universe in a nut shell is an utter mystery; but we must break the chains of what we once thought. People have always stood corrected in matters of things that seem larger than them. We must realize that the earth was considered flat until someone had the bravery to say it was not and follow their hearts to prove this truth. By not encouraging thought, we encourage stagnation and if nature and history is any indication of what we are. Then we are meant to evolve and grow both as individual Universes and as a collective consciousness.

True happiness comes from being alive and no special circumstances are required for your happiness in a true state of bliss. This is the state of allowing, and is written about in this new age medium more times that we can mention. Obviously this task is something that will require a bit of work but no actions will be able to help you. This is an inward journey of forgiveness and honesty which is only achieved when you show yourself the compassion that you deserve. In my case it was not until I shifted my mental direction that I could accomplish this.
Imagine yourself on a winding road full of road blocks obstacles and traps. If you look ahead you see no way to get across those obstacles. The road blocks are too high to climb, the obstacles are immovable and the traps are hidden well and are seemingly everywhere. There is no way to go forward, right? Did you think to turn around yet? There is nothing that blocks your journey in that direction because that path leads with-in; walking that path and you will eventually come to that same path full of all the challenges life has to offer. Except this time your simply walk right over it as your size and strength has increased a billion fold and those obstacles are nothing more than a tickle on your proverbial foot of life. This is the state of allowing!
Allowing is a term used to describe the mind set for blessings to be abundant in your life. It is easier to go with the current and allow nature to take you to your destination rather than fight against the current which leads you nowhere but to more struggles. This is the eternal metaphor of life; you can easily allow everything you want in your life by going with the flow. As you are in charge of your own specific Universe and can control the way in which you live.
This is a choice and whether you accept this or not, “It Is”. Try this simple experiment; loose all your worries for one day, make a list of everything you are grateful for and take a vacation from negativity. See what that brings you, and then after this experiment is implemented in your life try it again for a week and then a month and eventually it will become effortless. Every journey always starts with one step, are you willing to take that step today?

Spirit of Ma'at: "Free Energy & Alternative Energy, Part II" — Vol 2 No 8
Cosmic Changes
Mind-boggling Phenomena Reported by Russian Scientists
by Drunvalo
Strange things are happening in both outer and inner space. Scientists in Russia, most prominently a man named Dmitriev, are discovering that the Solar System, the sun, and life itself are mutating in totally unprecedented ways.
The Sun
Let's begin with the Sun. The Sun is the center of our Solar System, and all life that is on this Earth came from the Sun. If there were no Sun, we would not be alive. This is simply scientific fact. And so any changes that occur in or on the Sun will eventually affect every person alive.
The solar activity during this last sunspot cycle was greater than anything ever seen before. Yet every astronomer that I talked to about this except one insisted that everything was "normal." That one person, who worked at NASA, claimed that what was going on within the Sun was absolutely incredible. She also said that she was not "allowed" to talk about it. But she talked anyway, because she felt that the world needed to know, but at the same time she asked that I not publicly discuss what she had said. Sort of a Catch-22. So the photo at left is just a hint (click on it for a larger view). It's a recent picture of the Sun from, I believe, the year 2000, showing multiple sunspots ringing the sun on the two latitudes of 19.48 north and south. Some of you will see the significance of this much energy's being emitted at this particular location.
So let's look at the obvious question: What is normal?
For scientists, the idea of "normal" is based on making a long-term study, then averaging the results. But in the case of the Sun, we have been studying it for only about a 100 years — and it was not until the last half of the 20th century that the study was done with instruments that could be considered especially accurate. And so, since the Sun is at least 4.5 billion years old, our 100- or 50-year study of it is equivalent to writing about the final one or two seconds in the life of a man or woman who lived for 100 years. Would you consider that biography reliable?
We actually know nothing about the Sun that would enable us to say what is "normal."
We do know, however, that the Sun's magnetic field has changed in the last 100 years. There's a study by Dr. Mike Lockwood from Rutherford Appleton National Laboratories, in California. Dr. Lockwood has been investigating the Sun, and reports that since 1901 the overall magnetic field of the Sun has become stronger by 230 percent. No one knows what that truly means; it's only an observation.
And we do know that some of the sunspot activity in this last cycle was greater than anything ever recorded before in history. But we don't know what that means, either.
The Solar System
Then comes the information out of Russia last month, from the Russian National Academy of Science in Siberia, where scientists have come to the conclusion that we have moved into an area of space that is different and has a much higher energy level.
The Russians are reporting changes that are being recorded in space that have never been seen before. We cannot verify this information "for certain," but we do know that the scientific body reporting it is real, and that a Dr. Dmitriev does head this body. Also, I have personally been before the Russian National Academy of Science, in Moscow.
Speaking for the Academy in Siberia, Dr. Dmitriev says that the effects reported below have been observed (these are not quotes from Dr. Dmitriev, but extracts from his report).
Changes to the Leading Edge of the Heliosphere
The Sun itself has a magnetic field, and that magnetic field creates an "egg" around the Solar System that is known as the "heliosphere." The heliosphere is shaped like a teardrop, with the long, thin end of the drop pointing away from the direction in which we're traveling.
The Russians have looked at the leading edge of this heliosphere, and they have observed glowing, excited plasma energy there. The Sun's heliosphere used to be 10 astronomical units deep (an astronomical unit is the distance from the Earth to the Sun, approximately 93 million miles) — 10 astronomical units was the "normal" thickness of this glowing energy that we used to see at the front end of the Solar System.
Today, Dr. Dmitriev says that this glowing energy is now 100 astronomical units deep.
The Russian National Academy of Sciences doesn't give us a time-line, but the change from what was known and accepted to the way it is now represents a 1000 percent increase.
And the Russians say that this change in the Sun is changing how the planets function and what kind of life they could support. They even report — but don't explain — that the DNA spiral itself is altering. They feel that the continued expansion of the heliosphere will eventually take us into a new level of energy, that there will probably be a sudden expansion of the basic harmonic wavelengths that the Sun emits as it radiates energy out of itself, and that this increase in energy emission will change the basic nature of all matter in the Solar System.
That's a pretty bold statement, but it's followed by data to back it up:
The atmospheres of five of the planets and the Earth's moon are changing.
When the United States landed on the moon in 1969, it found no atmosphere. Since then, the earth's moon is growing an atmosphere that wasn't there before, made up of a compound that Dr. Dmitriev refers to as "Natrium." This new atmosphere is now 6,000 kilometers deep.
The earth's atmosphere in the upper levels is forming HO gas that was not there before. It simply did not exist in the quantity that it does now. The Russians say it's not related to global warming and it's not related to CFCs or fluorocarbon emissions or anything like that. It's just showing up.
The Martian atmosphere is getting sizably thicker than it was before. The Mars Observer probe in 1997 lost one of its mirrors, which caused it to crash. This happened because the atmosphere was about twice as dense as NASA had calculated. Basically, the wind on that little mirror was so high that it blew it right off.
The atmospheres of Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune also are changing, according to the Russians, but they didn't explain.
The brightness of the planets is changing.
Venus is showing marked increases in its overall brightness.
Jupiter's energetic charge has risen so high that there is actually a visible tube of ionizing radiation that's formed between the surface of Jupiter and its moon Io. You can actually see the luminous energy tube in photographs that have been taken recently.
Uranus and Neptune also are becoming brighter.
The magnetic fields are changing.
Jupiter's magnetic field has more than doubled.
Uranus's magnetic field is changing — no explanation.
Neptune's magnetic field is increasing.
All three of these planets are becoming brighter, and their atmospheric qualities, say the Russians, are changing — but they do not explain what is meant by this.
What's truly amazing, since some people here on Earth have been expecting and predicting a pole shift for some time now, is that the Russians report that Uranus and Neptune appear to have had recent pole shifts. When the Voyager II space probe flew past Uranus and Neptune, the apparent north and south magnetic poles were sizably offset from where the rotational pole was in earlier recordings. In one case, it was 50 degrees off, and in the other case the difference was around 40 degrees.
Earth Changes
Let's talk about Earth now.
The Russians report two more facts:
On Earth, the overall volcanic activity increased 500 percent from 1875 to 1975, while the earthquake activity has increased by 400 percent since 1973.
Dr. Dmitriev says that comparing the years 1963 to 1993, the overall number of natural disasters — hurricanes, typhoons, mud slides, tidal waves, etc. — has increased by 410 percent.
The Earth's magnetic field has been decreasing. This decrease actually began 2000 years ago, but the rate of decrease suddenly became much more rapid 500 years ago. Now, in the last 20 years or so, the magnetic field has become erratic. Aeronautical maps of the world — which are used to allow airplanes to land using automatic pilot systems — have had to be revised worldwide in order for the automatic pilot systems to work. (This is very easy to check. Simply look at an aeronautical map prior to 1990 for any particular city airport, and then compare it to a present-day map.)
Late last year, the Arctic ice cap on the exact spot of the North Pole completely melted for the first time in known history. Green Peace reported that, relative to the winter ice pattern, the cap had previously melted over 300 miles toward the pole, and that late last year both military and civilian ships were able to actually pass directly over the North Pole. It was water. Until now, as far as we know, there has never been a time where the ice was less than ten feet thick.
In contrast, the South Pole has an ice cap that is about three miles deep, and yet huge pieces of ice continue to break off and melt.
What Is Going On?
Since 1900 we have gone from riding horses to landing on the moon. From sending letters by horseback to firing them off with instantaneous email, videophone, and satellites.
On the negative side, we have gone from warring with primitive weapons to atomic bombs and bioterrorism.
And perhaps even more significantly, in 1900 the Earth had 30 million species, species which took billions of years to create. Now, we have less than half that number — fewer than 15 million species. And this all happened in 100 years: a geological blink of an eye.
If someone from another planet were watching the Earth, they would say it was dying.
But now it seems something is going on that is beyond "business as usual." In their report, the Russians say that these same kinds of phenomena were occurring when the dinosaurs became extinct — a time that marked a gigantic shift in the earth's climate and weather patterns, and perhaps a pole shift, as well.
Stay Tuned
In September 1999, I talked with Dr. Edgar Mitchell — the astronaut who walked on the moon — and he told me that NASA had learned as many bits of information in five years as all of mankind had learned since the beginning of civilization, 6000 years ago. Further, he said that NASA had learned as much in the past six months as they had learned in that amazing five-year period.
But NASA is not sharing these revelations with us. So of course they would not reveal information that is as radical as that which the Russians are reporting. It is their nature to be silent about phenomena that could change the way we perceive ourselves in our rapidly changing world.
So today, the Spirit of Ma'at is in the process of contacting the Russian National Academies of Science in both Siberia and Moscow, not only to fully verify what is being said here, but hopefully in order to report to you in more depth about these amazing changes that are happening to our Sun, our Solar System, and our Earth.
jubaleestar : hello everyone theres a lot of talk on this site about cosmic change and earth changes i wanted to share what I have learned So far american science is not backing any of this however they have even stated that there are strange patterns in the sun and other things in the universe that are changeing but they wont talk to much about it in our american media would you say cover up ?

Here I stand in the center of the universe. My universe in which I am the creator of and the creation, there is no one as important as me in this Universe. I realize that because I AM in the center of my universe I am in a position of ultimate power. I am the master of my Universe and I can control anything that goes on with-in that Universe. I live with-in this universe, and I mold this universe because I live in the center of this universe which is located in the metaphysical center of me. Truth be told the metaphysical sense of me is truly who I AM and so are you.
You are the Universe; your Universe is in a great place of power and love.
I do not think there are words sufficient enough to explain these truths because there is only ONE way to find this out and that is through YOU. That is not negotiable although the methods will be as unique and personal as the individual.
I was able to gain access to this wonderful world of Metaphysical knowledge when I accepted responsibility for everything that has ever happened to me and I accepted that it was my fault entirely. I do not blame anyone for my F-ups I have and always have had the choice of living the life I wanted. I then choose to look fear in the face and try to understand the unknown. This was the thought behind the subtitle for my book “15 Days to a beautiful life - Understanding God”. I have no Idea how to describe what I am seeing as truth and I feel like I am seeing above things at times with lack of language to express it. I can just tell you taht the answers are right there for you inside your true self.
It is becoming undeniable that the metaphysical is becoming a real force in this world and I have watched many ancient theologies warm up to this idea, which is wonderful. As long as there are people like you and me who put the fact with feelings and look inside, we will always be amazingly blessed. When we look with-in we magically have a mutual understanding of free will and individual preference because we will know the truth and purpose of choice. Besides those that do not observe this truth will not be part of a masters Universe and are not a vibration match. This is the Universal Law which is set by the hand of those who observe it and is as powerful as your Universe wishes it to be.

I am sure someone has asked you this question many times; although depending on your age the phrasing may be different. The most common form of this question is “What do you do for a living?” I am going to assume that 99.99% of the time this refers to work or your job in some way. Most people relate who they are with what they do. This subconscious hick-up can cause a ton of unnecessary negative emotion and even worse “Writers Block”.
Truth be told, even the most glamorous job cannot define you. You are way more magnificent than that. If you are a musician, artist or writer your work may be a reflection of which you are as a person but it is you the creator who breathes life into the creations in which you create. You are unique and anything that more than one person calls them self cannot represent you ij your entirety. I am a writer, a dad and a husband no one thing describes me although I am proud to be all of them.
There are over 6 billion beautiful people that are each truly unique, no two are exactly alike. Your body is your temple and it holds the most beautiful, loving and extraordinary amazing creature inside of it; Your Spirit.
The spirit that is inside of you is the truth, your truth. The only truth you shall ever have. I say to my readers almost every essay, blog, speech or book I create. To look inside, they ask me why?
Your spirit will answer all the questions you have and I can assure you that the answer will be as unique as the faces that represent the journey to get them. Man has got into a great deal of trouble by telling others how to live and what to believe in. The obsession to be right is something that has taken many men to the point of insanity and all for not because each person’s path is unique and their interaction with the path they are on.
Many people pick up self help books like mine and hope that the book is a user manual to their souls but that would serve no purpose to you. I choose to put the power in your hands, I write to point out that there is beautiful and loving magic inside of you that is always at your disposal and is as abundant as infinity. This journey is deeply personal because we all do not all think the same exact thoughts. Your path is either littered with negative thoughts, hate and intolerance. Or your path is pure of all impurities which are one of many symptoms of the positive thoughts you think, and positive affirmations you say.
That being said, this all comes back to loving yourself. Desiring what you want is the easy part. The belief that you can do it and feel that you are worthy enough to have it is another. This is where you find the state of being needed to succeed and it also provides you with the endurance to make positive thinking an effective Life style choice. If you cannot find love for in yourself, you will not find that love in yourself. That love is your truth and is your spirit and it has always been there waiting for you to stop star gazing and look inside.
Try Loving yourself and Love whatever it is that makes you, YOU!
Then figure out what you believe and start looking for the magic in your life. You will be surprised in what you find and how amazing you truly are.
No matter what your theology it serves you no purpose to doubt yourself; so pay attention to that gut instinct, respect each other’s path, and put your faith in yourself where it belongs.

There are many among us who have a secret obsession. An Obsessions, so Dorky that even those of us who visit comic con, would be embarrassed to say would be hard fought to admit it. That's right I am talking about the very nerdy world of Quantum Physics. But we have great news, the days of being an uncool topic adorned on the same level as pez collections and stamp enthusiasts are no more.
Truth be told, I love Quantum Physics. I have been obsessed with quantum physics ever since I learned about it at the age of 13. I think everyone who decides to go down to this quantum world changes forever his relationship to this world. To me, It is still mind blowing to say the least.
A few years after allowing these theories to really sink in. After, I obtained a level of basic understanding, I had a very hard time grasping the concept of reality and truth be told I have never been the same since and I am so grateful for that. What I am saying is that; this is not for everyone but I am grateful to know that I am not alone in the quest for a better spiritual understanding through quantum theory because the two go hand and hand.
Just an interesting side note* Newton who was so famous for his theories of the physical world. Had knowledge that there may not actually be a physical world to live in. If the techniques he used to comprise his theories and understanding of the physical world work and they obviously did. There would be a strong possibility that physical reality is not what we perceive it to be.
There is evidence of this by newtons translation of the emerald tablet. Which is a highly controversial ancient tablet, said to be thousands of years old with the first mention of the law of attraction and many other universal laws which have become so popular today. It actually has been translated by some very well known people throughout history and I will leave you to draw your own conclusions on these things because everything is not for every one's path. A path is personal and mandatory standards do not apply.
Getting back to the reality of Quantum Physics; the reason why I am on a quantum physics high right now is because today the use of quantum energy as everyday electricity is a probability. Not from a philosophical sense because that would be true of everyday but from a scientific figuring out how to do this sense, this is now a reality.
For about 8 years now scientists have been studying data on matter and anti-matter, and discovered that when these particles collide they do not wipe each other out as previously thought. Matter wins the battle over anti-matter and there is always a little left over matter, making this energy safe and usable. So i guess Yoda was right when he said the light side of the force was stronger. :)
Another interesting side note. Joseph Campbell a well respected professor and new age teacher was consulted on the making of the star wars trilogy (the original of course).
There is no need to express why this is a wonderful thing but I may need to express why this is important to you personally. I always tell people to believe in themselves look inside and find your own answers. This is very important because quantum physics suggests, that nothing exists unless something is observing it. This may seem confusing but the evidence points to the observer as the creator of it's own reality.
If you have ever seen or read "what the bleep" they explain an experiment where the brain was opened to see what happens when nerve endings are stimulated. They found that activity in the brain came before the finger's nerve was stimulated. The explanation they gave was that the mind somehow creates this event. Making quantum physics the study of you and how you work your magic.
So, is quantum physics cool now. Well if not then at least it can keep you cool in the summer now ... :P
Thank you all for reading today,

The next step of evolution is near. A new awakening shall come. As everything in the universe moves in a spiral path, so too does evolution. What has come to pass shall come again, but hopefully better than the last.
Over the past 10,000 years or so, there has been an enhancement of human evolution. Some groups of humans believe the enhancement derives from Extra Terrestrial intervention, others believe natural selection (or natural evolution). The universe has an essence that controls the outcome, and tends towards an intelligent life form, and the evolution tends towards a perfect form (energy). The past 5,000 years of human evolution shows that humans today are drastically different from their ancestors. The force that makes up the universe is Unitarian (it acts or works the same way and flows from a single origin in time-space). While groups may call this energy a “god,” it really is not God, but is intelligent; much like the ‘Force’ or the Star Wars saga. It is in everything, makes life, leads the DNA of life and guides our thoughts and actions.
There is a role of freewill in actions of life forms. This freewill is created by intelligence as an attempt to control its environment. Freewill is a side effect of the super-intelligence, not as a gift from a deity. When a life form is created, it develops the ability to control an aspect of its own environment. As it becomes more intelligent, it controls more of its own environment. When a life form can control all aspects of its own world, it has reached a level of enlightenment that the world is no longer a limitation. In other words, freewill is the level of awareness a life form has about its own environment (or world). The higher the level of awareness, in turn, means a greater capacity to understand that environment and control it. Many religious organizations mistake freewill to be a gift by a deity that enables humans to choose between right and wrong, or one path from another. When in contrast, those qualities are reflected, it is not the reality. The reality is just that; Reality. We make our own reality, therefore our reality is created through freewill by knowledge, and manifestation of that knowledge through wisdom.
As the universe spurs and sputters, it pumps out waves of energy. These waves in recent years, alluded to by human science and in some cases adopted as the foremost theory, are generated by means of ‘quantum mechanics’; not yet fully understood by human science. There are species in the universe who do understand these ‘mechanics’ and use them daily as humans on Earth use simple math. One form of these waves are referred to as ‘radiation’ and can come in many levels. One type of this radiation spurs growth. This energy is the “life blood” of the universe; the ‘Force’ so to speak. This energy is created through massive tidal shifts in super-gravitational matrixes and can only be produced with a mass large enough to break time-space itself. These super-gravitational masses, called super-massive black holes by mainstream science, can readily be found in galactic cores of large, flat (disc shaped) galaxies. The disc and spiral formation of these galaxies is actually caused by the rotation of the Gravitational Helix; the wave of energy generated by the rotation of the gravity well.
Like ripples in a pond, this wave emits throughout the galaxies and collides with all matter in its wake. The positively charged ions of these waves spur evolutionary responses, which include heightened intelligence. Moreover, just like waves in a pond, these waves are cylindrical in nature. So as the wave collides with matter, it is rolled in the sea of space like as in a tide (referring to the under tow of a tide wave). This effect causes a spiral orbit of objects around the core. As viewed from the side, the object will appear to be moving in a wave pattern (up and down) as it orbits. However, in a three dimensional view, the object will move as though it were in a sideways tunnel, looping around the tunnel as it moves through it. Every so often, the object will reach the galactic equator; or Ecliptic plane. When this occurs, the object receives a large dose of radiation emitted from the galactic core. A different kind of radiation then previously talked about.
Energy moves in two forms; wave and particle. The galactic waves travel, obviously, as waves. While another form of energy travels in particle form. This energy travels in a perceivable straight line. A shaft of energy emitted directly outwards. The greatest concentration travels outward from the northern and southern poles of the galactic center. However, the energy emits in all directions simultaneously. The ecliptic plane presents a heavier dose than the upper or lower planes of the ecliptic plane due to gravity (results explained using centrifugal motion). As the Earth passes through this highly energized beam of energy, changes occur to life. Earth history shows these changes as spontaneous evolutionary leaps. As the Earth approaches the galactic equator, changes become more pronounced. By the end of this next generation, the human evolution will have irrevocably changed.
As the movie Fantastic Four shows, a wave of highly charged particles can produce ‘super human’ abilities. While human kind may not see such drastic changes as to become super-fluid, invisible, and able to burst into flames at will, the abilities that will be produced will be more along the lines of the similarly associated X-Men. Some will have pronounced abilities with telepathy, psychokinesis, quantum warping, etc. The greatest gift of evolutionary leaping humanity will experience is enlightenment. A greater understanding of the universe, of humanity itself, of the future of the species will lead to greater leaps in technology, social correlation, and critical thinking. These things will usher in a new age for Earth into the Universal Society. The end goal of all sentient life forms is to become self aware enough to shed the physical body and become one with the universe; to become part of the consciousness that makes up the ‘living force’ of the universe.
While the days of ‘ascension’ are far off, the step from Earth to a new planet will open the minds of many and bring about a social change strong enough to avert total annihilation. The choice is not for one alone, but the total of Earth’s people. When the human mind reaches critical mass, and all are born with the wisdom of a grater society, transition from a ‘class 0 civilization’ to a ‘class 1 civilization’ will be complete. While my time on this planet is limited, I will attempt my best to help all humanity to usher in this new age. My travels have shown me many things. Among those things I have seen civilizations destroy themselves in disagreements (where their own knowledge and technology lead the way to their own demise). Let not humanity be one of those societies. Let history guide your decisions, and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Do not just talk of love, but do it. Cohesion in a society is what allows disagreements to become trivial, and solutions to problems easier to find.
Rest your minds in meditation and let the knowledge come to you, and let that knowledge reflect off you to others (through both projection and by living through example). Actions do more than “speak louder than words,” they move the energies in the direction of your will. Positive actions fruit positive results (much as the idea of Karma). Focus your energy on what your wish to accomplish every day. Surround yourself with like-minded friends. Physically work towards the vision you see and do not just make a vision you want to see, but a vision of what needs to be (avoid the idea of personal gain, or do not be self-centered). While the idea of what needs to be can vary from social group to social group, or person to person, there is a common theme expressed by all: Freedom, security, peace, advancement, longevity, productivity, etc. See a better society and work for a better society and there will be a better society.

"Many people alive today possess some Neanderthal ancestry, according to a landmark scientific study.
The finding has surprised many experts, as previous genetic evidence suggested the Neanderthals made little or no contribution to our inheritance.
The result comes from analysis of the Neanderthal genome - the "instruction manual" describing how these ancient humans were put together.
The genomes of 1% to 4% of people in Eurasia come from Neanderthals.
But the study confirms living humans overwhelmingly trace their ancestry to a small population of Africans who later spread out across the world.
[Neanderthals] are not totally extinct, in some of us they live on - a little bit
Professor Svante Paabo
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology
The most widely-accepted theory of modern human origins - known as Out of Africa - holds that the ancestors of living humans (Homo sapiens) originated in Africa some 200,000 years ago.
A relatively small group of people then left the continent to populate the rest of the world between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago."
-

The energy this month can be described as “Anticipation of Change.” We have described in the past the sensation many people feel of late, that things in their lives are changing, moving, perhaps in ways that feel a little outside their control. This anticipation of change will be following many of you this month as you stand on a precipice, wondering what it would feel like to jump.
We have used this analogy before, when we spoke about the overall energy of this year. This month, then, April, brings with it a heightened sense of what is yet to come. But now, some time has passed since you first thought of 2010. You have dug down, gone within, and come up again for air with a new sense of perception of yourself and the world around you. You have a greater sense of what is yet to come, of the direction you wish to take in the eight months remaining to the year. Time is passing! Yet each moment brings you new discoveries, new pathways, new joys.
Personal Anticipation of Change
On a personal level, you may expect to experience some of the following:
Sense of purpose
New connections to people
Wistfulness or nostalgia for what remains in the past
Anger or frustration about where you are vs. where you wish to be
Childhood emotions playing out in new ways
Sense of “rightness” with the world
Feelings of injustice
A call to action
Feeling connected to guidance in ways that are new for you
As you can see, you could be all over the metaphysical map this month, so expect highs and lows as you proceed. Remembering that nothing remains the same, even the feelings you wish would last forever, will be useful this month. Everything changes. Impermanence. Darker emotions and childhood emotional patterns may come up for you, yes, but on other days this month you’ll feel inspired and connected, filled with joy in the simple act of breathing.
How to make this month’s energy of Anticipation of Change work for you on a personal level:
We’ve designed a simple practice you can engage in this month to keep you feeling grounded and anchored while leaving you open to the possibilities that you create in each moment.
Sit or lie down comfortably and take a few deep breaths. After a moment, as you release each breath, allow yourself to make an audible sound. Ahhh. Breathe in again and release, again with an audible sigh. Ahhh. As you sigh, feel the vibration in your throat. Feel this vibration move down from your throat into your chest, your heart, your solar plexus. Feel the sigh fill your body.
Keep breathing and releasing audible sighs, moving the sense of vibration down your charkas as far as you can. Can you reach the soles of your feet? Try this now, releasing a breath and allowing the vibration from your audible sigh to move slowly down each chakra and out through the soles of your feet.
Now breathe in through your nose, still releasing each breath audibly. Feel now the echoes of the audible breaths being released all over the world. Connect your vibration to those and feel the song you sing together.
Now breathe in through your crown chakra as you pull in air through your nose, moving the breath now through your 3rd eye before it reaches your throat and down. Imagine now that you are breathing as part of a great spinning circle, that the breath moving out through the soles of your feet and the breath coming in through your crown chakra are connected, one enormous circle, and your breath and audible sighs are making the circle spin faster.
You can speed the circle up or slow it down. You are in control of this enormous circle. Play with the speed of its spin until you feel comfortable. Set your intention that this circle keeps spinning at the same rate even without your perceptible attention. You may change the rate of spin at any time.
Now, even when you feel ungrounded or not in synch with your life and your internal guidance, you have a way to reconnect and set things to your liking again. Try this practice on a daily basis for a while and notice what changes for you as a result.
Global Anticipation of Change
On a global level, things are boiling just under the surface. We’ve talked before about increased volcanic and seismic activity throughout the coming year, and while we are not presently expecting any major events this month, with the increased pressure below the surface of the earth there will certainly be a major and perhaps catastrophic event occurring in a populated area within the next few months. Italy and the area surrounding the Adriatic Sea are at potential risk in this time, as are Malaysia and the Phillipines.
The below-the-surface boil continues on in other ways. A major American political reversal is on the horizon, as is the potential of an assassination of a world leader. Overall tensions remain at a strong point, suggesting that events that create a sense of resolution to the constant under-surface tension is close at hand, though likely not this month.
To put global anticipation of change in perspective, understand that the tension of expected change is magnified when on a large-scale or global level. It is one thing to feel for yourself that things are moving. You can explain away your discomfort with the level of lack of control that you feel about personal change. Larger entities like countries, kingdoms, and corporations have no such luxury, however. When tensions increase to a certain point, something must be done to relieve the pressure. You cannot suggest that France, for instance, begin a meditation program in order to better deal with political and religious tensions that bubble just under the surface of everyday life. France, as an entity, is an amalgamation of many things including individual people, their expectations, past patterns, and a sense of propriety for maintaining a particular image that others have come to associate with France. Every country, kingdom, and corporation is much the same, and as such is affected differently by under-surface tensions. Things tend to erupt, then, in often surprising ways with these larger entities.
Possible global symptoms include:
War
Systemic starvation
Corporate failure, buyouts, mergers
Religious terrorism
Political “spin”
Sound bleak? Not really. These things are present all the time; most people are either unaware of them or choose a low level of awareness of such activities.
Assisting Change on a Global Level
While you may be feeling unempowered about helping to create change or to support the sense of anticipation of change on a global level, we can assure you that you do indeed have the ability to effect assistance on this global level. You only need to do one simple thing.
Engage your personal creativity.
That’s right: paint, dance, sing, sew, write. Whatever creative pursuit makes you feel balanced, whole, and happy. This is an especially fruitful time for creativity, so make use of it! And you’ll be assisting the global community as well.
How? Because all this anticipation of change is built upon a great deal of energy accumulation. By tapping into and creating movement with this energy, you create a cumulative effect of movement in all this “excess” energy, and help create a platform upon which the energy can begin moving in a large-scale way.
Take charge of your personal precipice, then, and jump with your eyes wide open.

Well, briefly before I get onto the subject I'd just like to say...
It's strange to be back again.
It has been nearly 5 months since I was last active here at LW.
But wow, does it ever feel like much longer than that!
Such a vast 'distance' covered in such a short amount of time...
Amazing :)
So. Onto the issue.
Zeitgeist Movement & The Venus Project
I doubt its a bright shiny new topic to many around here,
I myself first stumbled across Zeitgeist nearly two years ago.
But just incase, here's a short definition:
~~~
The Zeitgeist Movement is a worldwide grassroots movement advocating social change.
Most significantly that of society transitioning,
From a monetary based economy to a resource-based economy.
~~~
There are currently 3 main video's on the subject.
The Zeitgeist Movie, the Addendum, and the Orientation.
Although the orientation is text and audio only, it is probably my favorite
as the other 2 do express some strong opinions on institutions including religion
which I do not disagree with, but am aware that some individuals
May find it overly-controversial or possibly offending, and thereby reject
the other quality information presented out of loyalty to a belief of some kind.
However, the Venus Project is in fact one of the most innovative and revolutionary ideas
That I've encountered. And contrary to the pessimist and skeptics opinions, it is feasible (sp?)
Anyways, the way I see it, is that given proper support, we, the human race
Could REALLY patch this place, (earth) up if we pitch some effort in this direction.
So if you are willing to consider that our evolution may be being temporarilly held up.
And that this hold up MAY in fact be related to that fact that
we cling to a economic system based on profit through scarcity (the monetary system)
and that if we could find a way to shift into a global resource based economy
We could actually provide food, shelter, and education to every human being on the planet,
And live in a way that is friendly to the earth's ecosystems...
then you should google up some information and or videos

PS; This is coming up now because it was just Zday and
I finally met a number of local people who are in support.
Rather Excited.

Dearest hearts,
Since my transmutation work is just about complete, been inspired lately to start focusing thought/mind energy on the creation of the New Earth. Our new home, a place where enlightened species live according to the Universal laws of LOVE.
My thought today was inspired by a blog just read about the new world and it's monetary system.
My intentions for the new monetary system governed by the principles of abundance are..
I ask and intend for a new monetary system that is based on abundance with fair and divinely guided exchange for goods and services, with the ultimate goal of the exchange to be aligned with the highest good of everyone involved.
I ask and intend that a global office of monetary system is created and does not interfere with the affairs of the individuals, the desire or prosperity of the individual, that global taxes collected are also exchanged equally and divinely guided for creating a global society that fosters achievements and grand cosmic ideas and realites of magnificent proportion for all.
What is your intention for the New Earth's monetary system? The sky is the limit...for "as above so is below".
As we are thinking, focusing, we are creating our new home!
infinite abundance....OMni

Interesting article and perspective, the one missing piece from the study and all the models is SPIRIT!
Would like to see more models and studies on the energies of the HEART and not so much focus on the limitations of the MIND.

Dearest hearts,
Guided today to connect my heart chakra to heart chakra to my governmental leader. The meditation was amazing both heart chakras expanded with love and compassion.
If you have an opportunity today, I encourage you to also align your heart chakra with that of your leaders and send them divine love, help them expand and open their heart chakras. It takes only a few minutes.
It's president's day in the USA so how appropriate to send your leaders love and light. We are all ONE.
Infinite love...OMni

'' We were saying how very important it is to bring about, in the human mind, the radical revolution. The crisis is a crisis in consciousness, the crisis that cannot anymore accept the old norms, the old patterns, the ancient traditions and considering what the world is now, with all the misery, conflict, destructive brutality, aggression and so on. Man is still as he was, is still brutal, violent, aggressive, acquisitive, competitive and... he has built a society along these lines.''Jiddu Krishnamurti
'' In a world where 1 % of the population owns 40% of the planet's wealth... In a world where 34,000 children die every single day from poverty and preventable diseases, and where 50% of the world's population lives on less than 2 dollars a day... One thing is clear. Something is very wrong. And whether we are aware of it or not, the lifeblood of all our established institutions and thus society itself is money.''
'' The illusion of democracy is an insult to our intelligence. In a monetary system, there is no such thing as a true democracy, and there never was.''
''Physical slavery requires people to be housed and fed. Economic slavery requires people to feed and house themselves.''
''The world is being taken over by a handful of business powers who dominate the natural resources we need to live,while controlling the money we need to obtain these resources.The end result will be world monopoly based not on human life but financial and corporate power''

The theme for this month is Flow. When we speak of Flow in this context, we speak of the ability you all have — perhaps something unique to your species, at least in your way of doing so — of assimilating yourselves into that which surrounds you. In other words, you take in the energy of what is around you and breathe it into yourself, sometimes quite literally, creating an ever-changing new organism with each breath.
When we speak of “what is around you” we mean this:
The literal air and all it contains: particulate matter, the pheromones of nearby lovers, the scent of the pot roast bubbling on the stove in your kitchen.
Visual stimuli: the flowers in a vase on your table, the piles of clutter on your desk, the view outside your window.
Clothing and furniture: the touch, smell, and feel of what touches your physical body.
Energetic information: every tangible item or person (or non-human being, such as pets, plants, and stones) has with it an energetic signal, and this you also take in.
Each of these things that you take in, the actual tangible things as well as the energetic information, also contains within it all the memories you have ever experienced of similar such things. When you observe the vase of flowers on your table and take that into your being, you take with it the memory of all flowers in vases you have ever observed, and all similar-colored flowers you have observed growing, perhaps, in gardens, as well as the memories that come flooding into you with the scent of flowers, the color of flowers, and the feeling of warm sun on your back as you, perhaps, once walked through a garden filled with flowers.
What does this mean to you this month, and why is February any different than any other month in this way? Because it is this month that the level with which you assimilate into your surroundings increases, something on the order of tenfold to one hundredfold. This is a significant change, and it marks the very beginnings of what will come to be known as global collective consciousness. This collective consciousness already exists, of course – you are already inextricably intertwined with seven billion other lives going on around you – but what is beginning to occur starting now is that many of you are becoming consciously aware of this connection in ways you had not been in the past.
Let’s look at the Haiti earthquake as an example. When this occurred, people immediately thought consciously of other “big” tragedies that had occurred within their memories, and rather than staying in that energy of helplessness, felt a compulsion to create action instead. This is a change. It’s not to suggest that fewer people gave to the Red Cross, for instance, after the Twin Towers fell down in 2001, but with that action there was an associated helplessness. The energy around Haiti is more practical, as we see it. This may not be reflected in the media attention, which as we see it is still quite narrow in scope, but because overall you all have a greater level of awareness of this global collective consciousness, the actual actions being taken are by far more helpful on a practical basis.
Notice that assimilation can bring up reactions, and reactions will vary from person to person. Some people are quite comfortable feeling more conscious of the energy of everything around them, but others will feel bombarded, invaded, and threatened as their sense of “personal space” expands. If you find yourself feeling ill at ease this month, perhaps with an unnamed sense of dread, or memories of some past feeling of violation, try this exercise to help you feel safe in a sea of sensation:
Stand with your eyes closed and your feet comfortably apart. Breathe through your nose and out through your mouth, lips slightly parted. Breathe now into your solar plexus, your 3rd chakra.
As you breathe, feel it expand and contract. Up and down. In and out. As you continue to breathe, notice how each breath swirls in your solar plexus for a moment, and then moves throughout your body. Feel each breath move to your fingers, to your toes, to the top of your head. If there is emotion in this moment, breathe that in as well.
By now you could be feeling a slight spinning sensation. Allow it to increase with each breath. Now you feel yourself expanding with each breath, getting larger and larger until you are the size of the universe. You are a universe, and everything is contained within you. You continue to breathe while realizing that everything you experience is already a part of you. You hold within you a complete, perfect universe.
What else to expect this month
Keeping in mind the general trends for the year, you may experience the following this month:
Increased dream activity. Many dreams are snippets of astral travels, and a good many people will find it important this month to connect ore consciously with the astral activity that occurs. Expect symbolic dreams filled with extreme symbols — monsters, dragons, catastrophic events — to populate your dreamtime activity. You may wish to begin a dream journal this month.
Sudden, intense, sense of dread. Even if you are not known to experience premonitions, your increased awareness of your global collective consciousness can begin to bring you into awareness that something is occurring, even if you don’t know to whom or where the something occurs. Since we termed this month’s theme as Flow, we would suggest avoiding bringing a personal element into this feeling of “something bad is about to happen.” Take whatever precautions you feel are necessary, and then attempt – as best you can – to drop the matter. Perform the exercise, above, to bring you into a safe space. Understand that what you are connecting to is likely to have nothing at all to do with you on a personal level, or your family.
This is a fine line to walk, and we understand this. When we provide support in helping people create a more conscious connection with their intuition, we typically advise to go with what first comes to mind. But understand that these feelings of dread, should they occur for you, will be of a very primal nature. Asking you to “drop the matter as best you can” feels counter-intuitive, especially when you are attempting a more conscious intuitive connection. Two things can help:
1. Understanding that if the feeling passes after a few minutes – even if it was quite intense to begin with – then it likely does not belong to you.
2. Performing the exercise we gave above. Feel yourself in that expanded state. Allow thoughts, images, or other impressions to come to you that can help explain the feeling you had. Trust yourself that you will be able to discern.
Earthquakes, volcanic activity, and extreme weather. As above, so below. You understand the phrase? This earth you live upon is very much a part of this global collective consciousness, and whatever upheaval you feel inside is also what is occurring on a vast planetary basis.
New technological advances. An announcement could be made this month that is a breakthrough in terms of how people connect with one another. Notice that a sense of something being “world-changing” is often applied in retrospect, after the changes have begun to occur.
Attention to personal space. Again, how individuals respond to this energy varies, but in general you can look for:
Increased attention to health.
Changes to diet or wardrobe.
Focus on feng shui or other techniques of managing space and the flow of energy around you.
Changes in levels of physical activity.
Attention to group or communal activities. This may result in an aversion to groups for the time being, rather than necessarily a whole-hearted joining-in, but overall the attention you place on how you feel about groups and communities will be shifting this month.
How best to proceed this month
Let's go back to the concept of Flow. Flow connotes the following qualities:
Movement
Lack of resistance
Fully inhabiting the space you are in for that time, however brief
Fluidity
Think about these qualities for a moment. What comes to mind? Take note of any impressions, sounds, words, or pictures that arise when you think of these qualities. This, then, is what you will do your best to remember — on some underlying level — this month while you go about your daily business of living. Remember we said earlier that each breath you take creates a new organism: you. You are creating and re-creating yourself in every moment, over and over and over again. There are no mistakes. There is no wrong turn. You simply flow from one breath to the next.
And so it is as the month unfolds for you.
By the end of February, then, you can expect to be aware of the global collective consciousness on a new level. Much like an infant gathers experience in every moment, so, too, are you this month beginning your infancy of a new awareness. Allow the newness to inhabit and inspire you. Breathe in and sense your energetic counterparts all over the world. Feel the mass of humanity living, breathing, loving, warring, and dying in every corner of the globe and feel too, the perfection of each of those moments.
This nascent connection is why you are here, now, in this place at this time. This is much of what you came for. Enjoy what you are creating.

Defined: beautiful – having qualities of beauty; exciting aesthetic pleasure; generally pleasing; excellent. Beauty – the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses or pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit; loveliness. Spirit – an animating or vital principle held to give life to physical organisms; the immaterial intelligent or sentient part of a person; the feeling, quality or disposition characterizing something; a person having a character or disposition of a specified nature; general intent or real meaning.
What does the phrase “beautiful in spirit” mean? As we can see from the definitions, the phrase can mean different things to different people. Take the beauty part of this phrase for instance. If we have several people look at an assortment of paintings and then ask each person which painting is beautiful, we could have each person select a painting that is different from the choices the other people in the group made, assuming there are enough paintings to choose from. We can also have the group as a whole say that all the paintings are beautiful, yet one stands out as the most beautiful in the collection. As the saying goes, “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.”
What is it about an object that a person finds pleasing? Perhaps the symmetry or shape of the object strikes one as pleasing to look at. Possibly the color palette used affects the viewer in a pleasing way. If the object is one that can be touched, then perhaps the texture is pleasing. And so on. Taken as a whole, the various properties of the object being sensed are experienced as being pleasurable.
One may ask why one person may sense beauty in things that another does not? Afterall, a typical human senses things within the same range as most other humans do. Why would one find a certain color, shape, texture, sound, etc., more pleasing than another? I suggest that perception, mental associations, memories, and mood have a lot to do with it. Yet there are things that affect most people the same way regardless of the above suggestion.
One of the things that affect most people in the same way is color. Researchers know that red tends to raise blood pressure, pulse rate, respiration, and skin response (perspiration) and to excite brain waves. Blue tends to have the reverse effect, to lower blood pressure and pulse rate; skin response is less, and brain waves tend to decline.
If we take these two colors and ask different people which one they prefer we will get some choosing one and the rest the other. Perhaps the same people will choose the opposite color at another time. Why? At a certain moment a person may be in the mood for passion which is enhanced by the color red, while at another moment the same person may be in the mood for relaxation which is enhanced by the color blue.
Where do perceptions, mental associations and memories fit in? If we take that relaxing blue and use it as the main color for a seascape painting, people tend to associate that scene with past experiences that may be similar. If one happened to have had a negative experience in a similar scene, that person may actually tense up instead of relaxing.
Now let’s start to link beauty with spirit. Depending on one’s idea of what spirit is, it can be simply the intent or meaning associated with an object, place, or life form. We can expand this a bit further and say that spirit can be the usual disposition of an object, place or life form. And the ultimate expansion based upon our previous definitions would be seeing spirit as the life force within.
How does one sense intent or meaning? Most humans rely on their vision to sense these with. The second most relied upon sense for this purpose would be hearing. While these senses bring in certain information it is eventually interpreted using the brain as a collection and filtering organ. The person’s mind then makes a decision on intent. If the intent or meaning is perceived as negative then the object, place, or life form is considered displeasurable. If perceived as positive, then pleasurable. The pleasurable will have more probability of being beautiful to that person.
Most of us know that something which is visually beautiful can be quite displeasurable in its other dimensions. Let’s take a tiger for instance. Visually, I find a tiger to be a beautiful animal. But as many humans have found out, touching a tiger can have a displeasurable effect, such as being eaten! This situation can be quite beautiful from the tiger’s perspective in getting a meal, and highly displeasurable or ugly for the human being eaten.
As most of us are aware, when the term “beautiful in spirit” is used, it is usually applied to another human. As we know from experience, each individual has a normal disposition (personality or temperament) while having minor to major emotional fluctuations or outbursts. And, there is usually an intent or purpose when a person does something.
What is a beautiful intention? This can be seen as having the purpose behind one’s action to give pleasure to another, especially pleasure that exalts the mind and spirit. At the very least I suggest that it is having the intention of not causing harm to another. I would also suggest that the highest pleasure one can give to another is unconditional love. This would certainly be loveliness.
What is a beautiful disposition? It is quite possible that the person with this disposition is highly self-regulated, thus keeping his or her emotional flare-ups to a minimum. This person also strives to be harmonious within and does not intentionally cause disharmony for others.
I say we are all beautiful in spirit, although we may at times not have a beautiful intent or disposition.

A cautionary tale couched in current events:
Monday, December 14
To Know the End from the Beginning.
Dog Poet Transmitting.......
I was trying to explain to someone once about what happens when you go too far down the road with alcohol and certain drugs. It’s no different than what happens with the intoxication of power; the pursuit of sexual satisfaction, gold fever and whatever obsession might come to mind. I was telling this fellow that it was similar to the way the water swirls in a toilet bowl. At first you encounter certain events and phenomena and there may be an exception that occurs once or twice. As you continue down, what was an exception becomes commonplace and then a new exception will occur. Then this exception becomes common place. The lower you swirl on the side of the bowl the more the environment changes until it suddenly gets very dark and then stays that way. You can think about domestic altercations; a bar fight, a DWI, a blackout, divorce, job loss, homelessness, insanity or prison and then… death. The usual descent is gradual. This is how people will come to some point of desperation and wonder how they arrived there. Surfers and divers experience a particular condition that can be caused by extreme wave action or some other factors where they no longer know which way is up or down. So it is that people climbing up the ladder of personal power and personal influence might actually be climbing downward in a cosmic sense which would, sooner or later, become personal. Sometimes people think that steps they are taking are going to protect them and find that they succeeded only in putting themselves in greater danger. Some people think having a lot of money will make them rich when it winds up making them poor in everything that counts. Men and women born with great physical beauty often come to rely on it and never develop the other qualities that actually make them attractive in an enduring way. Once their looks are gone, it’s a sad affair. This is the judgment of Nature. However, it is possible that when one kind of beauty would ordinarily fade, it becomes illuminated with another kind of beauty. There are realities about life that it is valuable to become aware of, unfortunately most people never do. What happened to Berlusconi yesterday is a watershed moment. This won’t be the general impression. In most minds this will come across as an anomaly and one of the things that happen now and then to those who are in the public eye and whose public actions have a certain amount of controversy to them. It could be said that all public figures have a certain amount of controversy attached to them, just from being public figures. The very rich and powerful have put themselves in a most undesirable position. Instead of making sure that the underclass has enough to get by and then keeping all the usual distractions in operation, they have overstepped themselves. Their greed and lust for power and wealth and their disdain for public opinion, which they demonstrate by their arrogant disregard for what others think; believing themselves to be above the reach and judgment of those they consider beneath them, is going to come back on them with a fury. The King Louis and Marie Antoinette mindset never goes out of style with those driven mad by vanity and self-interest. It comes with the territory. Most of the time, they can keep this in check and go right on living their privileged lives by recognizing the limits to which they can abuse the ordinary lives. In this age of material darkness they have lost their perspective. They have over reached themselves. They have put themselves in peril by placing themselves too far above their fellows and basically… sucking the oxygen out of the living room of life. They have continued to steal when they already had more than they could ever need or ever spend. They made public displays of their wealth, while showing a calloused indifference to the plight of the people they stole their money from. They have awakened a beast in the hearts of the populace. This beast has its own intelligence outside of the minds of those in which it has been kindled. They are only the means. The beast is the awareness that drives the means to the end. This is how unruly mobs suddenly coalesce as if they were possessed of intelligent purpose. All of a sudden they have leaders and a structure. It seems to come out of nowhere but it does not. It is the natural response to conditions set into being by people who should have known better and did not. When you set about repressing people’s freedom of speech and movement, you have created a problem. When you make their jobs and their savings disappear you have created another problem. When you send men and women to fight wars for profit or to serve the interest of a foreign nation that sees them as less than human, you have created another problem. When you fail to see to the aftercare of these soldiers you have created yet another problem. These are only a few of the problems. Many times, the rich and the powerful have considered themselves above the law and secure behind their walls and under the protection of their guards. Very often this proves to be untrue. Often enough the danger is behind the walls with you already and simmers in the hearts of those charged with your protection. The rich and the powerful could go on indefinitely were it not for their arrogance and sense of impunity. It’s not rocket surgery to understand that you have to make sure that ‘the people’ have enough to get by on. No sane leader would let the banks take away the homes of the people when they caused the problem in the first place. The worst of times in which to behave this way is during the presence of an apocalypse because it is then- due to a little understood working of the laws of Nature- that we become exposed for what we are. We get seen at what we are doing. We wind up at another level in the swirling bowl and the exception becomes the rule. Though it may not be apparent at the moment, I believe we will look back on this Berlusconi incident and say, “That’s when it started.” Some might say it started in Copenhagen or it started in East Anglia. You can go way back and say it started there or even say that it hasn’t started yet but… I think this event has set a number of wheels turning in the collective mind where the beast is laying with one eye open. World leaders would do well to consider reversing the course of their self-serving ways. The rich and privileged would do well to consider their behavior and how vulnerable they are. The bankers and Wall Street clowns should seriously consider a sea change in their day to day relentless, buggery of the lumpen proles. Once critical mass has been reached, you don’t get any ‘do-overs’ …and you don’t get to rewind the tape. As Omar Khayyam said; “The moving finger, having writ, moves on and not all your piety can lure it back to cancel half a line, nor all your tears wash out a word of it". World leaders and international bankers are not calling me on the phone and asking, “visible, what should I do here?” They are not consulting with any of us who might do them some good. They would prefer to pay those who will tell them what they want to hear and how they can get out of this with everything they have and still more. It’s not going to happen. Those richly deserving it are about to reap the whirlwind and it does not have to happen… yet they insist upon it. Have it your way and welcome to the cosmic Burger King where you are on the menu. There are people closely placed to all of these people, in critical positions, who do not like what they are up to and will betray them without regret when the opportunity comes. I do not envy those who think themselves impervious to the storm. In other time they could simply throw a few of their fellows to the crowd. These are not those other times. A hard rain is going to fall, as a poet once said. Times of great change are filled with a combustible unpredictability. The degree of severity is still in question and much could be done to militate against the worst case scenario. Will an epiphany fall upon those who need it the most? Will they push their chips to the center of the table and declare that they are all in? Will they actually believe that where a certain amount of force is not working that they only need to apply more force? Will they listen or must they feel? I don’t have the answer to that. One can only hope that somehow they will find one before it really is too late.

The link:http://www.bible-history.com/jesus/jesusPart_One.htm
Notice: I have gone over it to clean up some spelling and some formatting. I have not checked facts in history books. My family name is Tobias. My maternal grandmother was Makavi (Maccabee in English)
Do you still doubt me?
The History of the Hellenized Jew - Part One
(333 - 168 BC) Alexander - Antiochus Epiphanes
1. Alexander, Charging the East
- The pygmy threatened the giant
- He wanted to link the West (cultural unity) to the East (grandeur and wealth)
- He built new cities (enlarged old ones) populated them with Greeks (esp. his soldiers)
- New: ideas, gods, methods of administration, language, military tactics, markets for trade, etc.
- The Jews were surrounded by a new world
2. Alexander and the Jewish People
- He made a big impression on the Jews
- He showed hostility to the Samaritans and kindness to the Jews (granted them self-govt.)
- He didn't compel Jewish men to join his army (respected their Sabbaths, etc.)
3. Dividing Alexander's New Found Kingdom
- Right when he died his general's quarreled for control over the conquered lands
- Many long and complicated wars followed with the Jews caught in the middle
- Two generals (Ptolemy and Seleucus) established a dynasty (important in Jewish history)
- Ptolemy gained control of Egypt (descendants were called "the Ptolemies") - Seleucus won for himself all the Asian lands that were conquered (the Seleucids)
4. The Fate of Palestine
- Both Ptolemy and Seleucus claimed Palestine as part of their kingdoms
- Finally Ptolemy seized it and Seleucus let the matter go (though his descendants never really let go)
Interesting note: Though Ptolemy did not expect Jerusalem to be an easy city to conquer, it was on a Sabbath and the Jews did not defend themselves (though they were considered foolish it showed how well the scribes had done their work and the deep reverence for Judaism)
Hellenization Outside of Palestine
5. Emigration
- Jews around the eastern world now looked to the west (trade, government was there)
- Jewish settlements began emerging along the Mediterranean and all the areas
- These Jewish emigrants had to learn Greek language, customs, and ideas (Hellenization)
Hellas was the Greek name for Greece
6. The Jews and the Founding of Alexandria
- The community of Alexandria is probably the best example of what happened to the Jews under the influence of Greek or Hellenistic culture.
- The port of Alexandria became one of the most active commercial centers of the world. With many Jews there they formed an important part of the community.
- Citizenship depended upon for the most part your religion (each city had a patron god/goddess) City festivities involved sacrificing to various deities especially if one held an office.
- Jews could not participate so they were not full citizens (yet they could not be called foreigners because they helped found Alexandria and made it prosperous and important)
- The Ptolemies allowed for separate communities for Jews (courts, religion, diet, Synagogue, etc.) They could not lead in festivals or hold a public office (unless they converted to paganism).
- In spite of all this the Jews and Alexandrians were friendly to one another.
7. Cultural Adjustment
- As Alexandria prospered their was more learning and philosophy than in Greece itself
- The Jews were hospitable and also spoke Greek and were somewhat cultured yet they remained Jews
- Eventually very few Jews spoke Hebrew or Aramaic (dangerous to their Jewish roots)
- This is how they dealt with it, first, they began teaching their children Hebrew and second, they translated the Pentateuch and other Jewish literature into Greek to preserve the Jewish spirit
8. The Legend of the Septuagint
- The Jews of Egypt surrounded the translating of the Bible with legend and miracles.
See section on the Septuagint .
Greeks and Jews in Palestine
9. The New Greek Cities
- Greek influence was also spreading in Palestine
- Old cities assumed new Greek names and esp. the non-Jewish cities practiced the Greek way of life
- Greek buildings, gymnasiums, and forms of government
10. Prosperity and Migration
- Non-Jewish cities became very prosperous because they were heavy into commerce (east and west)
- The Jews were big exporters of grain, wine, olive oil, cheese, fruit, and fish - Jewish population increased heavily and many became artisans and merchants and farmers
11. Hellenization in Judea
Note: Almost every ancient people of the Bible disappeared except the Jews
- They maintained their Judaism and were not at all attracted to the gods of Olympus
- They rejected the philosophy and culture as inferior to Judaism though respecting it
- The Jews stood more than ever before as a different and unique people
- The priests of Jerusalem and upper class wanted it to be the great trade center. They wanted to externally resemble the people around them and yet maintain their Judaism and not indulge in (barbarianism)
12. The Sons of Tobias (Tax Collectors)
- The chief advocates of Hellenism in Judea were members of a family who were believed to have descended from Tobias the Ammonite who had hassled Nehemiah so much. Though they were not Jewish they had intermarried with the family of the high priest and being important in politics and government
- About 230 BC Joseph ben Tobias bought from the king of Egypt the right to collect the taxes from the entire district of Syria (Judea and all its neighbors).
- The way it worked was one man would pay the royal treasury a lump sum for the privilege of collecting as much as he could from the inhabitants of a district. (Got rich at his neighbors expense...hated).
- Joseph, his family, and his co-workers became a great economic power in Palestine.
- They adopted the customs and ways of the Greeks the most and angered even the gentiles around.
You can learn it in Torah
13. A Scribes Advice
- The Jews had no idea what was coming soon (major struggles) as a result of Greek influences.
- At this time a man named Joshua ben Sirach (from Jerusalem) wrote a book on philosophy but his philosophy differed greatly from that of the Greeks. He ignored subjects like the physical universe, government, and society and was primarily interested in giving people practical advice on how to live.
- According to him Moses and the prophets, and Proverbs and Ecclesiastes give us all of the answers. The wise man was the one who had no ambition and served God faithfully. He will avoid friendship with the ambitious and wealth seekers.
- Little did he know that tragedy would follow. The poor were dividing from the rich, things were hot. The Maccabees Fight for Survival (The Jews fight a war against astronomical odds)
The Maccabean Age
The next 50 years (200-150 BC) were very important and filled with stirring events. These events forever changed the Jewish people and Judaism even to the present day. Since all that happened, happened outside of Judea we must make mention of the ambitions and fortunes of the empires and kingdoms that controlled the world and their powerful rulers.
Judea Becomes a Syrian Province
14. Syria's Ambition
- The Syrians desired to reunite all of Alexander's conquests.
- By 198 BC Antiochus III, called "the Great" took the first step when he forced Egypt to give up Palestine
- Only one obstacle lay in the path of the Seleucid's march to world dominion----Rome
- Rome had just destroyed the power of Carthage and was gradually dominating the Mediterranean lands
- Antiochus was forced to give up Egypt and give hostages (his royal family) plus large sums of money (which they exacted from the peoples subject to them) as security against any Roman invasions.
- But Antiochus and his successor, Seleucus IV, continued to plan conquests. - Seleucid empire began to crack when most of Asia would no longer submit to the tyranny (esp. Israel)
15. Factions Among the Jews
- Differences of opinion and many factions developed within Judaism. (Some were for the Syrian ambitions and some were against them)
- The family of Tobias and Hyrcanus, son of Joseph, were on the side of Egypt (obviously) and others were on the side of Syria because they thought Syria was too powerful
- The common people didn't really get involved (they knew they would be taxed by either side) until it involved their religion and then real political parties began to develop
The Attack on Judaism
16. The Sanctity of the Temple
- The pro-Syrian group wanting the favor of Seleucus revealed that there was much wealth in the Temple
- In those days (having no banks) all Temples were used for storing treasures. A thief would not dare arouse the anger of a god by taking what the god protected.
- Seleucus dispatched Heliodorus (an official) to confiscate the money in the Temple
- Heliodorus left without taking any of the money (legend tells that a certain Jew beat him to a pulp)
- The Syrian plan was thwarted and the true intent of the Hellenized Jews was revealed
17. The High Priest is Removed and Antiochus Epiphanes
- The pro-Syrian group decided to remove the high priest. (Hoping to control the government)
- They did this because of the change in the government of Syria
- Seleucus IV had died and had been succeeded by his brother Antiochus IV (who usurped the throne)
- Antiochus IV also wanted to conquer Egypt like the others and unite his empire
He gave himself the surname "Epiphanes" which means "the visible god" (he and Zeus were identical) jesus00000019.gif
- He acted as though he really were Zeus and the people called him "Epimanes" meaning "the madman"
- Since Palestine bordered Egypt he needed a loyal Hellenized population there
- Then a group of Jews came to him and devised a plan. The high priest Onias III should be removed and his Hellenized brother Jason was to take his place. (set up a Greek Constitution and coin Greek money)
- The plan was followed and all the Jews were outraged. It was the first time since the Babylonian Captivity that a non-Jewish government had interfered with the priesthood (treating the sacred office as though it were nothing other than a governmental office)
- But worse was to come. Now the Hellenizers had full control of the government in Jerusalem and they began to build gymnasiums within the city and encouraged the young to spent all their time there.
- The young priests engaged in sports. Jerusalem was filled with Greek styles, clothes, names, language and worst of all, its religion and loose morals.
- The most radical Hellenizers felt that things were not moving fast enough so they convinced Antiochus to remove Jason (Jason fled) and replace him with Menelaus (not a member of the priestly family)
- Menelaus had no sympathy for the Jewish traditions whatsoever and was only concerned about power
- The Temple treasury did not contain enough money to pay Antiochus what he had promised so he sold some of the holy vessels of the Temple to raise the money he needed.
18. Judaism was to be Destroyed
- To Antiochus to be un-Hellenized was stiff-necked nonsense
- If Judaism stood in the way then Judaism was to be destroyed so he gave the orders
- The Syrian army marched into Jerusalem and many of the people were killed and others escaped to the hills. Only the known Hellenists were allowed to remain
- Orders were given: NO Sabbath, NO Holy Days, and NO Circumcision
- A Statue of Zeus/Antiochus was placed in the Temple above the altar
- The most detestable animals (the pig) were brought and sacrificed on the altar
- An abominable act was perpetrated on Kislev 25, 168 BC according to the Book of Maccabees that "left the Jewish people desolate." (They call this the Abomination of Desolation in Daniel) but Jesus taught that this was a preliminary of the secondary and greater fulfillment coming in the last days and seventieth week of Daniel.

I have often marveled, looking back, at my past and the stories I've heard from many others my age, at the ways in which we were taught to relate to ourselves and to each other. We were taught almost nothing about personal strength, self-love, acceptance, or any of the other cornerstones of a healthy being. We were instead forced to fit into others' definitions of us and were constantly threatened with punishments - of varying degrees of intensity - if we ever deviated from them. It is bizarre to me recalling that, at one time, if I did not obey my parents in every way they demanded, I could be threatened with violence or ostracism to the point that I would be forced to submit.
What was perhaps even more bizarre was what happened after all of that. I thought, "wow, what a bunch of insanity!" and quickly got to work learning how to live life completely differently. I thought, "ahh, unconditional love! What a perfectly obvious thing, a solution to so many problems! Why aren't more people talking about this stuff?" I figured that everybody else was probably doing the same things I was, reflecting on the pain and unfairness of their childhoods, learning to get in touch with themselves...
But as I moved out into the world, further in time and space from my teenagehood, I found myself surprised. Surprised to find, basically, how often I ended up getting in situations which seemed to boil down to something like this:
"Hey, I feel drawn to you! Would you like to experience love and unity together?"
"Oh yeah, sure, that would be great! What do you want to do together?"
"It doesn't matter! Anything that you enjoy, or that we can enjoy together!"
"Well, ok...but, um, I have to make sure first, are you going to follow my rules and fulfill my expectations of you?"
"Huh? Rules? Expectations? What does that have to do with experiencing love and unity? I mean, I can't promise any specific things, but I can promise that I will always treat you with love and respect!"
"Hmmm...well, ok, we'll see how this goes for a while."
"Ok! Well, do you want to go play on the playground?"
"Sure, that sounds great!"
So we play on the playground for a while.
"Hey, umm, I'm having fun and all, but I noticed that a while ago, you broke a few of my rules. Also, you haven't really been fulfilling my expectations of you."
"But I was having the time of my life! I was playing in the sandbox, and on the swings, and - "
"But I don't want you to play in the sandbox unless you're wearing a green hat. Also, I expect you to push me on the swings, but you haven't done this."
"Well, I never said that I was going to do all these things, I just said I wanted to experience love and unity with you, and that's what I thought we were doing!"
"Oh my goodness, why is everybody like this? I can't believe this happened again! You're just trying to manipulate me to get what you want from me! You're lying to me, telling me you'll follow my rules and fulfill my expectations, only to find out that all you want to do is just have fun with me!"
"But, but, I just said I would treat you with love and respect - "
"Yeah, and that means that you follow my rules and fulfill my expectations! What don't you get about love? What is it with you people? You are such a horrible person! I can't believe I ever put my trust in you in the first place!"
"Ow, gosh, that really hurts my feelings! What are you talking about? I just felt love for you and wanted to share it! Why are you talking to me like this?"
"You people always talking about love! You're crazy! You're ruining everybody's life! We don't want you around anymore! Go away!"
Now, I do savor my life, and I feel generally optimistic about life. And obviously this is oversimplified. But after experiencing this situation over and over again, I have grown very saddened. I genuinely care about people, about our wellbeing, yet I do not understand why so many of us continue to act this way. I know that I am responsible for experiencing this repeated situation in my life the way that I do, kind of like a recurrent nightmare, and I don't entirely understand why I do this, but I can't help but be a little self-indulgent. Why has it been so difficult for me in this way, exactly? Why does it seem to me that I am boxed in by this wall of fear, and that my earnest desire to experience love and unity is scorned and rejected? Are we all really so terrified of ourselves and each other that we have forgotten what it means to simply treat each other with love and respect? Or is it just me? Am I just making this all up? Or are we all just making all this up? Is there a difference?

This month, the rage surfaces. Just like bubbling lava that’s been deep underground and now longs to surface, so too in this month will anything you’ve been keeping stored inside you.
Do you fear this? Do you fear that the inner parts of you that now seek sunlight are dark and should remain hidden? They are still a part of you, as much as the parts of you that you show yourself and others.
Now, while we used the word “rage,” it would be inaccurate and incomplete to describe the majority of what is happening this month as angry, or vengeful, or dark. Instead, we invite you to think of what bubbles forth into the sunlight this month as “movement.” Joyful. Opening. Inviting you into your wholeness.
This doesn’t mean that you will feel nothing but good feelings, although the more you invite the hidden parts of you into the light with joy and acceptance, joy and acceptance are what you will feel. But this is a process that brings up emotions and judgments that are connected to the inner parts of yourself you've been hiding. There are reasons you've been keeping them submerged — patterns you've become accustomed to using. Any time you are faced with elements of yourself you’ve been keeping hidden, you could experience resistance. Or feel shame. Or uncertainty. So, too, could those around you, who will be surprised at your new depth and may react with their own reactions to this new energy. But understand that these are their reactions to what they feel inside themselves, and have nothing to do with your relative goodness or lack of goodness.
Let’s explore the various ways that the rage bubbles to the surface this month.
Emotionally.
You may be feeling more ups and downs this month, wider swings. Understand this is a temporary condition. Neither your ups nor your downs are permanent, and its easiest to think of yourself as a net in the ocean, where the flow of the water, the dark waves above and around you, simply flows through you.
Physically.
Anything that is hidden under the surface on various currents of your physicality – whether it is in your circulatory system, your digestive system, your musculature, or anywhere – may be coming to the surface this month. This is an excellent month, then, to give yourself the gift of supportive energetic healing, to help this process in a smooth manner. Utilize whatever other supportive, nourishing therapies that most appeal to you this month. Immersing yourself in a bath that contains a few handfuls of natural sea salt is an excellent therapy, as are nourishing vegetable and high-quality meat broths and soups.
Relationships.
As we indicated earlier, any changes in you affect those around you. This is not the time to mitigate the experiences of the people around you. Try to allow yourself to detach from responsibility for their experiences – compassion is not the same as taking responsibility for another’s happiness.
A quick and easy visualization to perform this month to aid in remaining compassionately detached:
Think of several people in your life that you care about. Now thinking about them one at a time, imagine the connection between you as a shining cord. This cord can attach to you any number of places.
If the place of attachment is anywhere but your heart, remove that attachment and create another so that the attachment between you and the other person moves from your heart to theirs and back again. Be sure that movement along this cord runs in either direction; you can ask to be shown if it does not.
Perform this visualization with each person on the list you made several times this month.
Careers and finances.
Like everything else, money and jobs are simply energy. Anything under the surface in these areas also comes to light this month. This could mean anything from difficult dynamics with co-workers to Uncle Larry’s inheritance finally catching up with you. Think this month about your relationship to money, and try to imagine money – yours, or anyone’s – as simply energy, part of an unending source of universal energy. The more you realize you are tapped into part of an amazing infinite whole, the easier your relationship with money becomes.
You’ll notice, too, that your relationship with money has a lot to do with the relationship your parents had with money as well. Don’t discount any resemblance here, and allow yourself to honor the connection that exists here for you.
Careers are simply one way of identifying the Self. This is a good month to bring your various identities out to play in the light as well.
The World.
Volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis and similar catastrophic events are but one way of the planet manifesting bubbling moving energy that moves to the surface. Depending on how easily and completely we as individuals release our individual tensions and long-held inner parts, the planet may not need to relieve global pressure in dramatic ways, but you could also see movement in the form of natural disaster.
Politics.
Again, inner dynamics come into the light this month, and we would say in some surprising ways. Look for big policy reversals on issues that have been a struggle for a long time.
Conclusion
You are not alone in this movement of bringing things to the surface. You are connected not only to one another but also to the larger sense of timelessness and placelessness that is your universal experience. Although your perception supports individual awareness, remember you are moving through this energy together. As one. And with the support, love, and guidance of one another and of universal source energy.

In the new world that we are about to co-create I believe we need to be able to make distinctions between legal laws and moral laws. We know that each person has a conscience that guides their moral behavior and that some rules are necessary for a smoothly running society. The laws that we stop on red and go on green on our streets make sense and I believe we all have little problem agreeing with them as the consequences of not following these laws lead to accidents and death. One thing about the United States that is one of it's strengths is the many religions we have in this country and the theoretical freedom of religion (although at this time you cannot be a "legal" religion without approval from the powers that be). I believe that whenever a government needs to have 24 hours surveillance on each citizen to uphold it's laws on morality that not only do we become frightened sheep but we lose our ability to communicate with our conscience and make the right decisions. History has repeatedly proven that any time a moral law is imposed on citizens who do not agree with the law it usually makes the situation worse. Examples are laws against: alcohol, homosexuality,abortion, etc. I know that this is a fuzzy area but would like to know what others think. Thank you, donnalee

Here is an interesting report from a rather multi-talented Israeli -- an internationally acclaimed jazz musician/teacher, author, and activist, stemming from his recent visit to Shanghai. Rather than being a distanced, "objective" bit of journalism, the piece has a certain cosy, humanistic flavor. Apparently China is on the rise, economically and otherwise. A subplot in the report is the China-Israel "connection" and what that portends.
