Law of Attraction consciously in our lives, we become masters at visualizing, affirming, and attracting what we desire. We learn how to infuse our desires with emotion and power, we learn how to raise our vibrations through joyful thoughts and align ourselves more fully with the circumstances we want to bring about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, most of us forget one crucial step in the process: allowing. Allowing is a multi-faceted phase in the creation process, and it can be confusing for those of us who haven't had much exposure to the concepts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In generations past, hard work was a way of life. In some cases, it was the ONLY way of life. Like many of you, I come from a long line of hard workers: Maine lobstermen and fishermen, lighthouse keepers, factory workers, seamstresses, midwives, housekeepers, and public servants. My ancestors were proud of their ability to roll up their sleeves and put in a hard day's work to keep food on the table and clothing on their children's backs. Hard work was simply a fact of life, not something to be resented, just something that must be done, like breathing or sleeping when the sun went down.&lt;a href="http://www.newagearticles.com/Article/Allowing-And-The-Law-Of-Attraction/153"&gt;..read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-5373636707948150137?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/5373636707948150137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/allowing-and-law-of-attraction.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/5373636707948150137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/5373636707948150137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/allowing-and-law-of-attraction.html' title='Allowing And The Law Of Attraction'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ykgliofM6q8/TyUy1vePscI/AAAAAAAAgUw/wsNpTeLTEZ4/s72-c/img009.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-2396361967312056117</id><published>2012-01-29T22:40:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T22:40:48.966+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lights Down Under'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Feature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ANNOUNCEMENTS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Advertisements'/><title type='text'>The Hurstbridge Psychic Expo - Melbourne</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mPLAmA90w5k/TyUv-hprL4I/AAAAAAAAgUo/ChjA5GQHm8o/s1600/Hurtsbidge+Psychic+Expo+banner2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mPLAmA90w5k/TyUv-hprL4I/AAAAAAAAgUo/ChjA5GQHm8o/s640/Hurtsbidge+Psychic+Expo+banner2.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-2396361967312056117?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/2396361967312056117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/hurstbridge-psychic-expo-melbourne.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/2396361967312056117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/2396361967312056117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/hurstbridge-psychic-expo-melbourne.html' title='The Hurstbridge Psychic Expo - Melbourne'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mPLAmA90w5k/TyUv-hprL4I/AAAAAAAAgUo/ChjA5GQHm8o/s72-c/Hurtsbidge+Psychic+Expo+banner2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-8217068730221113453</id><published>2012-01-29T22:38:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T22:38:21.327+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meditation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mindfulness'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Mind'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Visualisations'/><title type='text'>Conscious Observation</title><content type='html'>Pick up an object that you have lying around. Any mundane everyday object will do...a coffee cup or a pen for example. Hold it in your hands and allow your attention to be fully absorbed by the object. Observe it. Don’t assess it, or think about it, or study it intellectually. Just observe it for what it is. You’ll feel a sense of heightened "nowness" during this exercise. Conscious observation can really give you a feeling of "being awake". Notice how your mind quickly releases thoughts of past or future, and how different it feels to be in the moment. Conscious observation is a form of meditation. It’s subtle, but powerful. Try it...by practicing mindfulness in this way you’ll really start to sense what mindfulness is all about&lt;a href="http://www.the-guided-meditation-site.com/mindfulness-exercises.html"&gt;....read

Sometimes it seems that we can get rid of something we don’t want by simply pushing it away. Most of the time, the more we push away, the more we get pushed back. There are laws of physics and metaphysics that explain this phenomenon, which is often summed up in this pithy phrase: That which you resist persists. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resistance tends to strengthen the energies it attempts to oppose by giving them power and energy to work against. Additionally, resistance keeps us from learning more about what we resist. In order to fully understand something, we must open to it enough to receive its energy; otherwise, we remain ignorant of its lessons. There is a Tibetan story of a monk who retreats to meditate in a cave only to be plagued by demons. He tries everything—chasing, fighting, hiding—to get the demons out of his cave, but the thing that finally works is surrender. He simply lets them have their way with him and only then do they disappear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, this wisdom must be applied practically. We are not meant to get ourselves physically injured. Instead, this story speaks of how, in essence, our demons are inside of us. What plagues and pursues us on an inner level has a way of manifesting itself in our environment in the form of people, events, and issues that appear to be beyond our control. But all these external expressions are reflections of our insides, and it is inside ourselves that we can safely experiment with surrendering to what we fear and dislike. It may feel scary, and we may find ourselves in the company of a lot of resistance as we begin the process of opening to what we fear. But the more we learn to surrender, and the more the demons that plague us disappear in the process, the more courageous we will become.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-646691699234007261?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/646691699234007261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/resistance-equals-persistence.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/646691699234007261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/646691699234007261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/resistance-equals-persistence.html' title='Resistance Equals Persistence'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tZMTy82TjtI/TyUW1pfmzCI/AAAAAAAAgUI/YAqDPiEyk1U/s72-c/steppingstones.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-669136122824185629</id><published>2012-01-29T18:26:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T18:26:35.541+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Current Affairs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Controversial Issues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Power and Spirituality</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L2lQLxL2xQ4/TyTxOIlKTJI/AAAAAAAAgUA/g5zXMUlO1gs/s1600/11811purplepyr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L2lQLxL2xQ4/TyTxOIlKTJI/AAAAAAAAgUA/g5zXMUlO1gs/s200/11811purplepyr.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The following is an extract from an 'interesting' article that comments on the power of the ego in spirituality. It's very relevant to current &amp;nbsp;conflict issues that are in the 'Spiritual industry', not just here in Australia, but in the UK, the US and in Canada too. No doubt in other parts of the world too. It seems to be flavour of the month these days for &lt;i&gt;'bash a psychic'&lt;/i&gt; to be taking place in the spiritual industry where certain psychics with megalomaniac tendencies have taken it upon themselves to attack other psychics for no apparent reason other than jealousy and envy. It's rive at the moment ... and has been designed by an unknown force to keep our lights diffused. Instead of being unified as a powerful focused light ... we are all being kept seperated in our tiny little groups as a chaotic force runs amok ...ensuring we are kept from being the one, unified force that something is so fearful of us being .... it's time for this to change folks and SOON!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an extract from that article:&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;"Power over others is an expression of insecurity within one's self.  Power over others is not an expression of real power at all.  It is an expression of fear on the part of the person exerting their will.  When one is fearless, he/she has no desire to exert his/her will over anyone else.  It is only when one is in the grips of fear or insecurity, either consciously or subconsciously, that they attempt to control any given situation by exerting their will over others.Fear creates attachment, and the result is the desire for control.  Control is the illusion that camouflages its self as balance.  When one is truly fearless, they are the living example for balance, love and harmony"&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000066; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;..&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://spiritualdove.com/power___spirituality.htm"&gt;READ MORE OF THIS ARTICLE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-669136122824185629?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/669136122824185629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/power-and-spirituality.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/669136122824185629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/669136122824185629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/power-and-spirituality.html' title='Power and Spirituality'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-L2lQLxL2xQ4/TyTxOIlKTJI/AAAAAAAAgUA/g5zXMUlO1gs/s72-c/11811purplepyr.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-5970721590316802864</id><published>2012-01-29T18:08:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-29T18:08:04.556+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Today's Inspiration</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;The addiction to drugs, food, alcohol, etc. is nothing compared to the addiction we humans have to thinking.

Known as the&amp;nbsp;Sapelo Shell Ring Complex, this ancient city was constructed around 2300 B.C. and featured three neighborhoods each surrounded by circular walls twenty feet in height constructed from tons of seashells. Some of the earliest pottery in North America was also found buried in the remains of this lost city. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The site is quite an enigma because at the time of its construction the Native Americans living in the area were simple hunters and gatherers who had yet to invent agriculture. Many scholars believe agriculture is a prerequisite for civilization. Did these simple tribal people somehow make the leap from hunting-and-gathering to civilization in a single bound producing not only a walled city but also the new technology of pottery without the benefit of agriculture? Or did an already civilized people arrive on the coast of Georgia from elsewhere and, if so, where did they come from and why?.&lt;a href="http://www.sott.net/signs/list_by_category/19-Secret-History"&gt;..read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-3938679447768561832?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/3938679447768561832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/ncient-walled-city-older-than-egypts.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/3938679447768561832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/3938679447768561832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/ncient-walled-city-older-than-egypts.html' title='Ancient Walled City, Older than Egypt&apos;s Pyramids, Unearthed off US Georgia Coast'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-7413154889926686667</id><published>2012-01-28T22:08:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-28T22:08:20.657+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Quote for Today</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;"My soul is the bridge between spirit and body and, as such, is a uniter of opposites. ...Without soul at center, I would either transcend into spirit or become mired in matter."&lt;/i&gt; -- Marion Woodman&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-7413154889926686667?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/7413154889926686667/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/quote-for-today_28.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7413154889926686667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7413154889926686667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/quote-for-today_28.html' title='Quote for Today'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-8928877216479486107</id><published>2012-01-28T20:09:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-28T20:09:11.650+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meditation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kundalini'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Popular Beliefs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Visualisations'/><title type='text'>Kundalini &amp; Energetic Meridians: A Crystal Healing Approach</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fH6Z1NisZVY/TyO7EJluruI/AAAAAAAAgTw/OmXHjWQumkM/s1600/459004d0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fH6Z1NisZVY/TyO7EJluruI/AAAAAAAAgTw/OmXHjWQumkM/s200/459004d0.jpg" width="153" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Meditation is a focusing or concentration of one’s mental energy until one has reached a perfect stillness of the mind. With practice, meditation will allow one to realize the true self. Meditation should always be done for the self. It is a wonderful tool to allow one to fully explore his or her inner consciousness. It is an opportunity to recapitulate one’s experiences and to learn and to grow from them (on a subconscious level). Meditation should be done with a full surrender to the stillness it creates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Routine meditation (over time) has the ability to completely transform one’s outlook on life. Meditation, combined with the proper intention, can aid one in a complete spiritual evolution.

It is a simple technique using very basic drug. The method employs dichloroacetate, which is currently used to treat metabolic disorders. So, there is no concern of side effects or about their long term effects. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This drug doesn't require a patent, so anyone can employ it widely and cheaply compared to the costly cancer drugs produced by major pharmaceutical companies.&lt;a href="http://www.sott.net/articles/show/228583-Scientists-cure-cancer-but-no-one-takes-notice"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-7334109112969568373?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/7334109112969568373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/scientists-cure-cancer-but-no-one-takes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7334109112969568373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7334109112969568373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/scientists-cure-cancer-but-no-one-takes.html' title='Scientists Cure Cancer, But No One Takes Notice'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6NuPTUzhWmc/TyOUCPOBi9I/AAAAAAAAgTg/HVekTJFMlCQ/s72-c/40764_f520.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-5490745452105507840</id><published>2012-01-28T17:19:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-28T17:21:13.652+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Controversial Issues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Library'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='David Icke'/><title type='text'>David Icke -

As the child develops, this knowledge is refined and eventually leads to the abilities we use as adults.".&lt;a href="http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240657-Babies-Are-Born-With-Intuitive-Physics-Knowledge-Says-Researcher"&gt;.&lt;b&gt;.read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-3950233704472608405?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/3950233704472608405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/babies-are-born-with-intuitive-physics.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/3950233704472608405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/3950233704472608405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/babies-are-born-with-intuitive-physics.html' title='Babies Are Born With &quot;Intuitive Physics&quot; Knowledge, Says Researcher'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6VUKInVoX98/TyOOgzOHgCI/AAAAAAAAgTQ/D9UrdpVbxv8/s72-c/einstein_baby.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-8045609766866230692</id><published>2012-01-28T16:55:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-28T16:55:35.060+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Controversial Issues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Population Control?'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='GM Food'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conspiracy?'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Deceptions'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health Issues'/><title type='text'>Monsanto: 'There is no need for, or value in testing the safety of GM foods in humans'</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CxS085My5xA/TyONcxoUEtI/AAAAAAAAgTI/OGCnwIVHlec/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CxS085My5xA/TyONcxoUEtI/AAAAAAAAgTI/OGCnwIVHlec/s1600/images.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;There is a growing body of scientific evidence which proves that genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) are inherently different from natural organisms, including the way the body processes them, as well as how the immune system responds to them.

His promise of building an "America that lasts" was predicated on a sentimental, but utterly disingenuous notion of selfless teamwork. The invocation of American military "heroes" and their "achievements" during nine years of waging war on Iraq as an exemplar of how to salvage his nation from economic and social catastrophe was both sickening and laughable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"These achievements are a testament to the courage, selflessness and teamwork of America's Armed Forces.

Our language is limited to the world we know for descriptions of something that perhaps cannot be fully comprehended by the human mind. Therefore, only metaphors approach the expressions that give us a true sense of our spiritual nature. The paradox lies in opposing concepts, all of which are true at the same time. And in harmonizing the opposites, we begin to know the wonders of the spirit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The self is not small or big but is both at the same time. Our spirit is like a drop in the ocean of spiritual energy. Although our spirit seems like a small, disconnected part of a larger whole, it is still made of the same things and can become part of the vast ocean once again. Our individual spirit seems to inhabit our bodies like a passenger in a vehicle but at the same time is not bound by our bodies. Spirits can reach across the miles to touch the heart of a loved one or expand to become one with the universe. We may feel small and perhaps insignificantly young when we look up at the stars, but we are made of the same basic elements. Perhaps looking at the stars is merely a reflection of what is going on within each atom and cell of our being. We are a universe within a universe. Our spirits are ever renewing, yet ageless and eternal. So the self is not new or old but both at once. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So our spiritual self is not small or big, new or old. We may experience life as good and bad, right and wrong, happy and sad, but this is the experience of the material world of dualities, not the truth of our spritual nature. By going within to touch the eternal and changeless energy at our center, we can go beyond the contrasting metaphors to the experience of oneness.

There's been a lot of buzz over the last few weeks about strange sounds being heard in the atmosphere. People around the world and here at home have reported hearing some bizarre noises. The latest were recorded in the Battlefords last weekend. Ian Hamilton, North Battleford's mayor, says he can't explain it. "What I experienced was a scraping sound, like a snowplow." Mike Halstead, a North Battleford resident, was lying in bed when his phone rang. Calls and text messages came in from his friends, each reporting strange noises. "That's when the goose bumps got me and I thought 'that's awfully strange'."..&lt;a href="http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240626-Strange-Noises-in-Canada-Confirmed-by-Mayor-and-CTV-News-Broadcaster"&gt;.read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D81eP4VOBOU" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-8239861134755088650?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/8239861134755088650/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/strange-noises-in-canada-confirmed-by.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/8239861134755088650'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/8239861134755088650'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/strange-noises-in-canada-confirmed-by.html' title='Strange Noises in Canada Confirmed by Mayor and CTV News Broadcaster'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/D81eP4VOBOU/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-5338821158139714878</id><published>2012-01-26T17:53:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-26T17:53:06.640+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Library'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Matthew James'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Practical Tarot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MJ.TV'/><title type='text'>"Death and The Tower"</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SdlnGqeD7R8" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this first Mentoring Series video ...

One of those rooms, or aspects, is what is known as the higher self, a part of us that possesses a range of perception far greater than that of the conscious mind. Your higher self is aware of both your current existence and numerous other possibilities, and cannot be altered or suppressed. It is related to your basic, innate purpose and no matter how much or how often you change, it remains constant. Some believe the higher self is the most evolved, most perfect "self" and thus can act as a guide on life's journey. In that role, it manifests itself in many ways: as images that flash in your mind inspiring ideas, as a small voice, as intuition, or as a feeling of rightness associated with certain actions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Becoming aware of and connecting with the higher self is comparable to becoming truly aware of oneself while feeling entirely integrated into the universe. It is like being in your body while looking down at your life from a high vantage point. With such insight, you can find the answers to many questions about your own life and the infinite existence. Connecting with the higher self, however, takes dedication, discipline, and practice. You may find it difficult because old emotional wounds or negative thoughts block your connection. One technique involves becoming "level" with the higher self through visualization. Begin by sitting in a chair with adequate support for the spine. Relax and breathe deeply. When you have achieved a level of deep calm, rise out of yourself, turn, and see your seated body before you. Visualize the higher self - it may appear as a point of white light above your head. Concentrate on it and slowly move it down to your physical body, letting it envelope you until it reaches the floor. Be sure to ground yourself after doing this exercise by eating a meal, or going out in nature. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After connecting with their higher selves, many people report rediscovering their soul's purpose and feel comfortable living in accordance with it. On the other hand, it is possible to fight the higher self, which can lead to tension and lack of energy.

I had the recent pleasure of having a Skype reading with Jay ... and was instantly impressed with the ease she was able to connect with my family members &amp;amp; friends who have travelled into the world of spirit. She was able to provide names and also the conditions with which my family members &amp;amp; friends passed with. Her sense of humour and professionalism in her reading .. made it an unforgettable experience!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Being a Medium myself I find it hard to find anyone who can provide accurate messages for myself; I am not the easiest person in the world to link to ... but Jay made instant connections and blew me away with her information.

I’ve been reading and have received over 30 years of master mentoring through my mother, a Metis Intuitive Empath, Tea Leaf reader, and a Healer.&amp;nbsp;I’ve enjoyed many years of experience in consulting on different matters. I enjoy my local clientele as well as my international clientele which I have developed over years.&amp;nbsp;I have read for internationally known names and no matter who it is that I interact with, what I enjoy most is my “one to one” relationships with my clients… I simply love it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jay is based in Canada and can be contacted via her web-site for more details on her video advice and readings - &lt;b style="background-color: #d0e0e3;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://videopsychicadvice.com/"&gt;Video Psychic Advice&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; font-size: x-small;"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;Follow the link to be magically transported to her web site!) ... or go to Partner (Personally Endorsed Links) to be connected to Jay!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-4451752335228447337?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/4451752335228447337/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/welcome-to-world-of-internationally.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/4451752335228447337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/4451752335228447337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/welcome-to-world-of-internationally.html' title='&quot;Welcome To The World Of Internationally Recognised Medium Jay Lane ...

I've added &lt;b&gt;Partners (Personally Endorsed Links)&lt;/b&gt; to A Light In The Darkness. It's really important because the links I add here are people &amp;amp; services that I personally know and can personally endorse for their &lt;b&gt;RELIABILITY&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;HONESTY &lt;/b&gt;and &lt;b&gt;INTEGRITY&lt;/b&gt; in this industry. &lt;i&gt;It's vital to know who and what is genuine &amp;amp; caring in this multi-faceted 'profession' there are so many charlatans and rip off merchants out there as we all know&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will personally endorse people &amp;amp; services &lt;b&gt;I KNOW &lt;/b&gt;are in this industry for the right reasons. All who appear here genuinely care for their clients and for mankind in general ...hence their rightful appearance on these links!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Partners (Personally Endorsed Links) appear on the right hand column between Public Notices &amp;amp; The Archives.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;So please, please, please everyone ... use this as your first stop for mystical services .... you will NOT be disappointed!!!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-6159192103323625830?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/6159192103323625830/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/personally-endorsed-links.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/6159192103323625830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/6159192103323625830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/personally-endorsed-links.html' title='Personally Endorsed Links ....!'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XzzwF3u9yQM/TyDIqNe7JmI/AAAAAAAAgRo/AcDH2TFNPfU/s72-c/21Capture.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-1143692347010893569</id><published>2012-01-26T01:26:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-26T15:14:11.591+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mediumship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Library'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Matthew James'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='MJ.TV'/><title type='text'>MJ.TV presents Mystic Switchboard part 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_Avihr_eRSA" width="480"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the 2nd part of tonight's broadcast.

Earth's energy is stable, free of the disordered vibrations that are a by-product of humanity's comings and goings. In these first moments of day, when the sun's golden light is only just peeking over the horizon, our animal mind remains in the land of slumber though we ourselves are awake. Deep sleep has washed away the impurities of existence that accumulated within us, so our mental, physical, and emotional potential is heightened. To meditate in this peaceful yet energetically charged in-between time is to connect with the divine in an extremely intimate fashion. We discover a new kinship with the universal life force during morning meditations because our awareness becomes a mirror for earthly consciousness—we wake as the world wakes, quietly embracing the joy of being and setting the tone for a serene, fulfilling day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the first glorious glow of morning, the light, air, and energy flowing around us speak in hushed tones of the activity to come. While we recognize that another day of being means becoming once again immersed in the challenges of action and reaction, we also understand that we can draw upon the unique energetic qualities of daybreak for comfort, creativity, and vigor. There is bliss in the simple knowledge that we have been given the gift of another day of existence. We are inspired by sights and sounds of the sun's gentle ascension. Birds serenade the luminosity, which grows richer by the minute. And though we may feel a residual lethargy, our vitality returns as our meditation helps us to become one with the stirring of other beings rubbing the sleep from their eyes. At the start of each day, our destiny has not yet been written, and so there is nothing we cannot do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How we choose to meditate is less important than our choice to attune ourselves to the spirit of wakefulness that travels round the world each and every day. Even the briefest moment of quiet contemplation in the muted light of the sun can put all that is yet to come into perspective. As a consequence of our daybreak reflections, our lives are imbued with the same stability, tranquility, and increased awareness that humanity has long associated with the stillness of early morning.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-3064826801007702524?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/3064826801007702524/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/morning-meditation.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/3064826801007702524'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/3064826801007702524'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/morning-meditation.html' title='Morning Meditation'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VWsLMQyHc-Q/Tx_QkStSInI/AAAAAAAAgRQ/X4R6J3lMo4o/s72-c/crazy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-3880840617071361180</id><published>2012-01-25T13:24:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-25T13:26:07.441+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Matthew James'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Feature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Advertisements'/><title type='text'>What's Happening on Facebook</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In a world so full of uncertainty the idea of getting some wise guidance from a higher power, the idea of peeking into the future and gaining advanced knowledge of what will happen, the idea of knowing the consequences of your actions in advance so that you can choose the right path - these are all very appealing notions indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There a literally hundreds of different methods of divination, from examining the entrails of a recently slaughtered sheep or goat, to staring into the flames of a fire. Today, with divination at least as popular as it ever has been in the past, the most commonly used methods are astrology, tarot cards, palmistry and the Chinese I Ching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But although more people than ever have access to some form of divination, such as newspaper horoscopes which are read by millions, there is also a greater degree of misunderstanding around as to the nature and purpose of divination than would have been the case in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people tend to think of divination as fortune-telling, as a method of predicting what will happen to someone in the future. But actually this is an over-simplification, and it introduces a subtle but important error into the way we think about divination. Whether you perform reading yourself, or if you are just an interested person who maybe reads their horoscope, you should know that in order to gain the most possible benefits from consulting a divinatory device it is important to be aware of the nature of the information which you will receive&lt;a href="http://www.newagearticles.com/Article/Divination-Vs-Prediction/1398"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-4921740426819122175?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/4921740426819122175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/divination-vs-prediction.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/4921740426819122175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/4921740426819122175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/divination-vs-prediction.html' title='Divination Vs Prediction'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HYds2bM5Hjc/Tx6i5pm5EEI/AAAAAAAAgQo/3ij1Z6PkypU/s72-c/vibration.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-8338470864705024227</id><published>2012-01-24T21:40:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T21:40:15.330+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Japan Earthquake'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Current Affairs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Controversial Issues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fukushima'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Conspiracy?'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Deceptions'/><title type='text'>Fukushima Cover Up Unravels: 'The Government Can No Longer Pull the Wool Over the Public’s Eyes'</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sVVHzdk2Cic/Tx6KKaSisrI/AAAAAAAAgQg/9W4-tMoecqg/s1600/fukushima.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="238" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sVVHzdk2Cic/Tx6KKaSisrI/AAAAAAAAgQg/9W4-tMoecqg/s320/fukushima.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The repeated failures have done more than raise concerns that some Japanese may have been exposed to unsafe levels of radiation in their food, as regrettable as that is. They have also had a corrosive effect on public confidence in the food-monitoring efforts, with a growing segment of the public and even many experts coming to believe that officials have understated or even covered up the true extent of the public health risk in order to limit both the economic damage and the size of potential compensation payments.&amp;nbsp;Critics say … the government can no longer pull the wool over the public’s eyes, as they contend it has done routinely in the past.&amp;nbsp;“Since the accident, the government has tried to continue its business-as-usual approach of understating the severity of the accident and insisting that it knows best,” said Mitsuhiro Fukao, an economics professor at Keio University in Tokyo who has written about the loss of trust in government. “But the people are learning from the blogs, Twitter and Facebook that the government’s food-monitoring system is simply not credible.”&lt;a href="http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=28813"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-8338470864705024227?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/8338470864705024227/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/fukushima-cover-up-unravels-government.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/8338470864705024227'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/8338470864705024227'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/fukushima-cover-up-unravels-government.html' title='Fukushima Cover Up Unravels: &apos;The Government Can No Longer Pull the Wool Over the Public’s Eyes&apos;'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sVVHzdk2Cic/Tx6KKaSisrI/AAAAAAAAgQg/9W4-tMoecqg/s72-c/fukushima.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-6142572068397566385</id><published>2012-01-24T21:31:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T21:31:14.514+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='The Four Mediums'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lights Down Under'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ANNOUNCEMENTS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Advertisements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Canberra'/><title type='text'>THE FOUR MEDIUMS (Matthew James, Suzie Price, Luke Patrick &amp;

The solar flare occurred at about 11 p.m. EST Sunday and will hit Earth with three different effects at three different times. The biggest issue is radiation, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center in Colorado. The radiation is mostly a concern for satellite disruptions and astronauts in space. It can cause communication problems for polar-traveling airplanes, said space weather center physicist Doug Biesecker. Radiation from Sunday's flare arrived at Earth an hour later and will likely continue through Wednesday. Levels are considered strong but other storms have been more severe. There are two higher levels of radiation on NOAA's storm scale - severe and extreme - Biesecker said. Still, this storm is the strongest for radiation since May 2005. The radiation - in the form of protons - came flying out of the sun at 93 million miles per hour&lt;a href="http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240569-Strongest-solar-storm-since-2005-hitting-Earth"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-7402136042676185754?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/7402136042676185754/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/strongest-solar-storm-since-2005.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7402136042676185754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7402136042676185754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/strongest-solar-storm-since-2005.html' title='Strongest solar storm since 2005 hitting Earth'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-1795107351691340409</id><published>2012-01-24T21:07:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T21:07:47.402+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Controversial Issues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mysteries'/><title type='text'>Odd Accounts and Strange Tales Orbit Around Shasta</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bPBrKkZr-2A/Tx6Cf6xJtGI/AAAAAAAAgQA/edsqLD2Mdqk/s1600/67580232.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bPBrKkZr-2A/Tx6Cf6xJtGI/AAAAAAAAgQA/edsqLD2Mdqk/s1600/67580232.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Mt. Shasta, the Cascade peak that mesmerized John Muir, has long attracted mystics, metaphysicians and spiritualists. Now a researcher is seeking 'stories and information' for a book on Bigfoot and UFO sightings. Locals didn't find the ads, posted at the laundromat or running in the SuperSaver, to be strange at all.&amp;nbsp;A number of people, in fact, reached out to Brian Wallenstein the "researcher looking to gather stories and information" for a book on Bigfoot and UFO sightings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman named Rudi emailed to report that she'd seen a bright disc hovering above Mt. Shasta. She attached a photo from a ski resort snow cam that showed a luminous speck. (Credible, Wallenstein thought.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A man named Larry recounted his own research - including telepathic communication with "them" - conducted in preparation for the day extraterrestrials would reveal themselves to earthlings. (Too out there, Wallenstein decided.) People pulled him aside to share anecdotes of mystery lights and star gates, or to whisper the names of neighbors and brothers with tales to tell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondhand accounts flowed in: about the forest ranger who casually spoke of spotting a Bigfoot east of McCloud, and the deer-hunting couple from Weed who came across a bright chrome vessel on a dark mountain road.&lt;a href="http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240573-Odd-Accounts-and-Strange-Tales-Orbit-Around-Shasta"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-1795107351691340409?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/1795107351691340409/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/odd-accounts-and-strange-tales-orbit.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/1795107351691340409'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/1795107351691340409'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/odd-accounts-and-strange-tales-orbit.html' title='Odd Accounts and Strange Tales Orbit Around Shasta'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bPBrKkZr-2A/Tx6Cf6xJtGI/AAAAAAAAgQA/edsqLD2Mdqk/s72-c/67580232.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-7608555133890639769</id><published>2012-01-24T20:31:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T20:31:44.257+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Quote for Today</title><content type='html'>&lt;i&gt;Seeking is based on a fundamental assumption of incompleteness.Beyond all seeking lies the discovery of Infinite Completeness -- an undeniable recognition&amp;nbsp;that nothing is missing.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-7608555133890639769?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/7608555133890639769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/quote-for-today_24.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7608555133890639769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7608555133890639769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/quote-for-today_24.html' title='Quote for Today'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-2375459938562398033</id><published>2012-01-24T20:28:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T20:28:13.257+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Daily Om'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Intention Set in Stone</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Humans gave form to their devotion by scratching images of their deities into rock faces, carving holy statuary, and building stone shrines. The earliest of these were nothing more than simple piles of rocks that honored sacred places, revelations, people, and events. Following in the footsteps of this ancient tradition provides us with an simple and beautiful way to externalize our own spirituality. In your travels, you may have encountered on the sides of roads, trails, or pathways stacks of stones that look like random sculpture. Add a stone blessed with a prayer to such a mound, and your intentions merge with those who have left stones before you, empowering you all. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Associating a prayer with a particular stone alters the substance of both, and the formation of a prayer mound can balance and intensify the energy of a site. The mere act of choosing a stone can inspire mindfulness, as we lose ourselves in the moment seeking a pebble that speaks to our souls. And placing a prayer stone on a towering cairn is a meditation in patience—slowness and stillness allow us to find our stone's center of gravity so the delicate ceremonial structure before us remains intact. Be cautious, however, when you feel guided to place a prayer rock upon stone mounds you see intermittently alongside well-worn but unmarked hiking paths. Hikers often use small cairns as guide markers to ensure that those who follow in their footsteps will not lose the trail. When in doubt, begin a new prayer pile slightly further away from the path itself and consider adding a relic of some kind to help others understand its purpose. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you mindfully place a prayer by beginning a stone heap or adding to an existing mound, your thoughts and intentions are left in the care of fate itself. The cairn of which your prayer was one part may be unintentionally knocked down or destroyed by Mother Nature's own hand. Try not to let this weigh heavily upon your spirit. The potent energy of your prayer was released by this destruction, ensuring that the purpose underlying that prayer will spread outward in the direction of the furthest reaches of the universe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-2375459938562398033?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/2375459938562398033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/intention-set-in-stone.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/2375459938562398033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/2375459938562398033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/intention-set-in-stone.html' title='Intention Set in Stone'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pRH_Lt0QJeU/Tx55fMCeThI/AAAAAAAAgPw/IESWHDcJSZs/s72-c/4295879178_f940fabdfe_t.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-1273173440380894611</id><published>2012-01-24T08:12:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-24T08:12:58.191+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Current Affairs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Controversial Issues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='space'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Is this life on Venus?

The part of the Spirit World linking with the Medium will then either bring the Spirit form through the catalytic action (using the Medium as the catalyst is the only way for the ordinary person to understand) by manipulating the facial features and sometimes parts of the body or of the body itself of the Physical Medium forming it/them (face, neck, arms, hands, legs, feet, etc) into the person (or part of the person) who is allegedly dead (one who has crossed the veil) OR form a mask of a person who might be a loved one or a person known [sometimes not] to the recipient onto the face of the Physical Medium to show all there in the gathering they are not dead BUT they are still continuing their life on another vibration level.&lt;a href="http://psychictruth.info/TRANSFIGURATION.htm"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-1085191827304208754?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/1085191827304208754/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/word-on-transfiguration-mediumship.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/1085191827304208754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/1085191827304208754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/word-on-transfiguration-mediumship.html' title='A Word on &apos;Transfiguration Mediumship&apos;'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lziYvZpTlzo/Tx1QPBs-2JI/AAAAAAAAgPg/B-J_HSZUZCQ/s72-c/download.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-5511495188733181084</id><published>2012-01-23T22:40:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T22:41:29.054+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>A Morning Cup of Om - 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t8ng9WY5T4s/Tx1HDNhtHKI/AAAAAAAAgPY/xJU8gkM12gs/s1600/article-1393780-0C5E209600000578-454_634x602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="302" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t8ng9WY5T4s/Tx1HDNhtHKI/AAAAAAAAgPY/xJU8gkM12gs/s320/article-1393780-0C5E209600000578-454_634x602.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Whenever you see an opportunity to do a good deed, jump on it! Whether this is opening a door for someone in a wheelchair, helping an elderly person to load groceries into their car, making a casserole and taking it to a neighbor who's ill, or sending a "just thinking of you" card to a friend or family member you haven't talked to for awhile, do it. It's sad that at times I've offered to help someone out and they look at me with suspicion or even anger. We live in a day and age where it's "every man for himself" and good deeds are incredibly uncommon. Let's bring back the days of common courtesy and kindness. Not only will it make the other person feel good, but you'll walk away feeling downright incredible!.&lt;a href="http://www.newagearticles.com/Article/A-Morning-Cup-of-Om/357"&gt;..read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;..&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-5511495188733181084?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/5511495188733181084/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/morning-cup-of-om-2.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/5511495188733181084'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/5511495188733181084'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/morning-cup-of-om-2.html' title='A Morning Cup of Om - 2'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t8ng9WY5T4s/Tx1HDNhtHKI/AAAAAAAAgPY/xJU8gkM12gs/s72-c/article-1393780-0C5E209600000578-454_634x602.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-759341247521594756</id><published>2012-01-23T22:36:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T22:36:45.026+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Controversial Issues'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Library'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Strange Sound Phenomenon'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Rense &amp;

Viruses themselves can essentially be described as 'pieces of genetic information in search of chromosomes,' their very "infectivity" being examples of horizontal gene transfer between species. The whole field of genetic engineering, in fact, would not exist were it not for the science and technology that harnesses and/or co-opts processes of horizontal gene transfer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technically speaking, horizontal gene transfer (also known as "lateral gene transfer") is the process by which an organism incorporates genetic material from another organism without being the offspring of that organism. Vertical transfer, on the other hand, occurs when an organism receives genetic material from its ancestor, e.g., its parent or a species from which it has evolved.&lt;a href="http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240510-Why-GMO-And-Organic-Can-Not-Co-Exist-Lateral-Gene-Transfer"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-4960469088565946141?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/4960469088565946141/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-gmo-and-organic-can-not-co-exist.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/4960469088565946141'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/4960469088565946141'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/why-gmo-and-organic-can-not-co-exist.html' title='Why GMO And Organic Can Not Co-Exist: Lateral Gene Transfer'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-4866212773345372167</id><published>2012-01-23T22:09:00.002+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T22:09:47.960+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ANNOUNCEMENTS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Image of the Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Still, somewhat mysteriously, it is often difficult to make the right choices for ourselves. We find ourselves hanging out with someone who leaves us feeling drained or choosing to eat fast food over a salad. We go through phases where we stop doing yoga or taking vitamins, even though we feel so much better when we do. Often we have no idea why we continue to make the less enlightened choice, but it is important that we inquire into ourselves to find out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we choose that which is not best for us, the truth can be that there is a deep seated part of us that does not want to heal. We may say it’s because we don’t have the time or the energy or the resources, but the real truth is that when we don’t take care of ourselves we are falling prey to self-sabotage. Self-sabotage happens unconsciously, which is why it’s so difficult to see that we are doing it. The important thing to realize is that this very part of us that resists our healing is the part that most needs our attention and love. Even as it appears to be working against us, if we can simply bring it into the light of our consciousness, it can become our greatest ally. It carries the information we need to move to the next level in our healing process. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we recognize that we are not making healthy choices, we might even say out loud, “I am not taking care of myself.” Sometimes this is the jolt we need to wake up to what is actually happening. Next we can sit ourselves down in meditation, with a journal, or with a trusted friend to explore the matter more thoroughly. Just shining the light of our awareness on the source of our resistance is sometimes enough to dispel its power. At other times, further effort is required. Either way, we need not fear these parts that do not want to heal. We only need to take them under our wing and bring them with us into the light.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-7040807035605987377?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/7040807035605987377/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/shedding-light-on-ourselves.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7040807035605987377'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7040807035605987377'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/shedding-light-on-ourselves.html' title='Shedding Light on Ourselves'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UDkOnh1krhw/Tx0fdYTRTPI/AAAAAAAAgPA/gWUm8cYjFHw/s72-c/Sigiltarot+7.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-6215445116030990886</id><published>2012-01-23T19:45:00.003+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T19:53:26.384+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2012'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Library'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Matthew James'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Feature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Blog'/><title type='text'>2012 - A Personal Insight.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BTP47JoDg1I/Tx0fy17RukI/AAAAAAAAgPI/0fU_cDhrt30/s1600/mjlogo3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="157" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BTP47JoDg1I/Tx0fy17RukI/AAAAAAAAgPI/0fU_cDhrt30/s200/mjlogo3.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;It's what's on everyone's lips at the moment -&lt;i&gt; "What's going to happen to us in 2012. Are the predictions true? Is the world going to end?"&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;In private client readings over the last couple of years ... I'd looked months ahead into 2012 during each and every reading. I didn't see any significant disruption in any of those readings to suggest there is going to be anything out of the ordinary during 2012. Many of us have felt the first rumblings of change over the last two weeks ... but as far as the end of the world scenario goes ... I doubt it very much. There's plenty of hype and plenty of bollocks out there in the www. I'm sure the more malevolent minds would love to take the opportunity to unleash mayhem, and then blame it on the 2012 predictions. I'm also sure there are energetic changes occurring in the solar system. Nibiru is more than a fable ... that's all I will say. I captured images of strange objects around the sun back in 2003, which gave me sufficient proof that there is a major planetary return occurring at this time. Nibiru? Probably. A planet of such magnitude ... or perhaps a binary sun ... will have a significant effect on this planet. I'm reckoning that 2012 will herald more chances to see two suns in the sky ...just like what has been happening in the world. Are we going to enter the fourth dimension in 2012 ... like the channelled prophecies over the years? My answer is no ... &amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;For more of my views and insights into '2012' please watch the first MJ.TV 'transmission' which will be posted up on You Tube soon .........&lt;/i&gt;.......!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-6215445116030990886?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/6215445116030990886/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-personal-insight.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/6215445116030990886'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/6215445116030990886'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/2012-personal-insight.html' title='2012 - A Personal Insight.'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BTP47JoDg1I/Tx0fy17RukI/AAAAAAAAgPI/0fU_cDhrt30/s72-c/mjlogo3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-2158965718543004250</id><published>2012-01-23T08:11:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-23T08:11:23.115+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Inspiration ...

A good way to make your request is to write in down in a concise manner. There is no need for unnecessary words or ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, you need to bring your vibrations to match with the energy of your desired goals. This means that if you really decide that it is the convenience that you desire with having your own transport, then imagine how it feels like being in a car with the stereo on, playing your favorite song and enjoying the drive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because you wish for it, does not necessarily make it happen rightaway. You also need to follow up with action. Your actions need to support your belief for your manifestations to come true. Say if it is a car that you desire, then you should sit for a driving test in order to get a driving license.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the best techniques for removing doubt is to record (in a log or journal) every instance which shows you are attracting more abundance into your life. Record even the smallest instance of abundance. This is proof that your desires do become reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, for the Law Of Attraction to work well, it is important that you feel that you are already in possession of what's coming.&lt;a href="http://evelynlim.hubpages.com/hub/Law-Of-Attraction-For-Abundance"&gt;..read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-2106331021964015044?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/2106331021964015044/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/steps-to-applying-law-of-attraction.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/2106331021964015044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/2106331021964015044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/steps-to-applying-law-of-attraction.html' title='Steps To Applying The Law Of Attraction'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5JRdz7S1RU0/TxvcO4_3-DI/AAAAAAAAgOI/wwWh98C1IQw/s72-c/186537_f260.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-1032776302186045805</id><published>2012-01-22T20:43:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T20:43:45.971+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>A Morning Cup of Om - 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dsU0DhxuD68/TxvaBiIhUmI/AAAAAAAAgOA/Nen3eIjvUuc/s1600/Visions2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="141" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dsU0DhxuD68/TxvaBiIhUmI/AAAAAAAAgOA/Nen3eIjvUuc/s200/Visions2.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Think good thoughts, especially about your past. We've all had some really bad things happen to us. Some worse than others. Refuse to dwell on these negative memories. All it serves is to bring your energy level down, and surround you with an aura that deflects anything good from coming into your life. Whenever a negative thought about the past comes up, replace it with a positive thought that is equally powerful. For instance, say you were abused as a child or in a relationship and a certain event pops into your mind. Instead of giving in to the memory, bring up a happy memory you have and recall it in as much detail as possible. If you have very few happy memories, or find it hard to come up with something when anger or pain strike, make a list of some happier times when you're in a good mood and read it when you're feeling down. You could even write down future events that you hope to experience. If you were in a very bad relationship, write down what you would love in your next relationship. (Be reasonable though because nobody's perfect!) Write down what your future mate will be like and some happy times you'd like to share with him/her. This is also a great way to program your mind and energy field into attracting what you desire most. The past is gone, it's done and over. The only way it can have any effect on you now is if you let it. Those "bad memory" pathways have worn a groove in your mind, so it's much easier to recall them--whether we like it or not. Choose to create "positive memory" pathways and see the difference it makes in your mood, and in your life.&lt;a href="http://www.newagearticles.com/Article/A-Morning-Cup-of-Om/357"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-1032776302186045805?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/1032776302186045805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/morning-cup-of-om-1.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/1032776302186045805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/1032776302186045805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/morning-cup-of-om-1.html' title='A Morning Cup of Om - 1'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dsU0DhxuD68/TxvaBiIhUmI/AAAAAAAAgOA/Nen3eIjvUuc/s72-c/Visions2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-2879807141364779777</id><published>2012-01-22T20:35:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-22T20:35:08.250+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Quotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Teachings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='philosophy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Inspiration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Quote for Today</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;"The mystery of life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced.&lt;/i&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;

Until recently, these changes inside the "black box" of the brain were mysterious. Now, modern neuroscience is beginning to reveal how you can use your mind alone to activate and gradually strengthen the neural circuits of mindfulness, wholeheartedness, and inner peace. This talk will explore the science of self-directed neuroplasticity, and present several practical methods you can use to change your brain - and thus your life - for the better.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mK_ngFJWx-g" width="420"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-753094761337571702?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/753094761337571702/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/neurology-of-awakening.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/753094761337571702'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/753094761337571702'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/neurology-of-awakening.html' title='The Neurology of Awakening'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/mK_ngFJWx-g/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-2671417887158103085</id><published>2012-01-21T22:55:00.003+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T23:17:11.126+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Self-realisation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Matthew James'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='self writings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Blog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><title type='text'>Let's Be Controversial</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ScTBUm-872M/TxqgVv-FiAI/AAAAAAAAgN4/YRmVsMECjuo/s1600/mjlogo3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="158" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ScTBUm-872M/TxqgVv-FiAI/AAAAAAAAgN4/YRmVsMECjuo/s200/mjlogo3.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Inspired totally by reading one of the most recent posts re: edible microchips, I got myself into a 'thought - scenario'; you the type of thing we all used to do as children, when our minds were free and we played and played all day ... using our imagination? I observed my mind and my actions for about five minutes ... and worked on the scenario I'd digested an edible microchip and some outside force was now determining my actions and reactions. &lt;b&gt;How would we know what was ourselves telling us to eat, or to cry; or to get angry&lt;/b&gt; ...? The way the technology would work, I'm pretty certain that the electrical impulses generated would be accepted by our conscious mind as our own thoughts. So when I went into the bedroom and picked up some cola fizz sweets ... was that my own decision? Did I really need that unrefined white sugar in my stomach? When I wandered into the front room and watched five minutes of satellite TV broadcast on our HD TV ... was that my own decision? How exactly do we know for sure that it is ourselves making these decisions for us? It's a horrible thought ... when I lie awake at night unable to sleep due to repeating thought patterns ... what is generating those thoughts? When we have inexplicable bouts of depression or anger or sadness ... or we act out of character ... is that ourselves who make that conscious decision? The concept of this nanotechnology being digested into our bodies ... is an alarming one. I have never believed that the agencies behind these technologies are entirely honest. There is always a hidden agenda. So they announce the 'goody two shoes' idea of the technology being a help with tablet taking etc ... but what they don't mention is the darker side to this technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;People need to sit up and listen about this microchipping&lt;/b&gt;. Years ago when ... when the microchipping of humans idea was even suggested ... people laughed and ridiculed. "That will never happen" ... well it has!!! Microchipping is here ... people REALLY need to think carefully about what they are about to put into their digestive system. We've all seen how heart transplants can drastically change the personality of the person ... imagine therefore what&amp;nbsp;behavioural&amp;nbsp;changes are going to descend on large areas of the population when these things are introduced! Those behind such technology are the same faces who have introduced toxic Sodium Fluoride to help stop tooth decay when on the darker side they KNOW Sodium Fluoride is a chemical lobotomy substance ... it dumbs people down. They are a malevolent influence on mankind ... they are not benevolent. I'm sick and tired of just sitting back and watching it all go down without speaking out ...&lt;i&gt; I know I'm not the same as I was ten years ago! Sodium Fluoride in water, Aspartame in food ... and countless other junk additives have caused&amp;nbsp;irreparable damage to my brain and mind. I know that by the way my thought processes are limited to how they used to be. I feel like a rat in a maze being permitted down certain corridors only. So the damage is done.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;But I'm not dumbed down into submission. I still have my consciousness alive ... and able to override the damage. It's time for us all to act ... and to speak up!!!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The recent spate of negative emotions this week ... I believe is as a result of his toxic damage to our minds. IF we'd not been subjected to these toxins, our minds would have been free to make the vibrational leap that was offered to us last weekend!!!&amp;nbsp;I saw it through a child's eyes ... it was like me as a young child having regular dreams of flying around the universe in a space ship. This happened night after night ... preempted by a kind old man who would come visit me in my room each night. I had that feeling around me in the weekend. But I also had the dread feeling that I associated with a period in my early childhood when I had the night terrors. A shadow entity would enter my room ... and then subsequently attack when I'd drifted off to sleep. I had that feeling too over the weekend ... and I knew that both entities were around me; the darker entity preventing me from making the connection. The feeling has gradually eased .&lt;b&gt;.. but I know we're seriously missing something significant. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The toxins and technology, like WIFI waves, are &amp;nbsp;blocking our minds from receiving these first signals being sent to us&lt;/i&gt;. How long we will be blocked is hard to tell. But it can't be long hence the edible microchips. This is my opinion and I'm sticking with it. It serves a taster of what you can expect from me in the coming weeks with the video blog. I plan to be blunt. Direct. Controversial. As well as being informative. I may only be one voice ... but I am one more voice that is prepared to speak out. Sound vibration is a form of healing ... through my work as a medium over the last 25 years I've had wonderful opportunities to heal by sound vibration ... by the tone and vibration of the words I use in my consultations. I know it's worked countless times with people in the past. I have been very much a lesser voice on this planet. A light that was little more than a grain of sand on the boot of the elite ... but even so I've endured and I've influenced many people. I say this without any arrogance or ego ... I say it as a stone cold fact. I've healed and helped. I've changed life plans that were going in the wrong direction. In my own way I have been a nuisance to the darker entities. My reward has been a number of irritating situations in my life ... I know that. It will be interesting to see this year exactly what befalls us all as our voices and our lights get louder and brighter.Time will tell ...

It all started in 1993. I had everything – a close family, a respected profession, success, material comfort, good health. In short, I was happy. But deep inside, a little voice was calling for help. It kept reminding me, “You have all that you ever dreamed of, but your life has no meaning.” Eventually, I understood that it was my soul asking to get out of &lt;a href="http://www.wariscrime.com/2012/01/19/news/escape-in-prison/#"&gt;her(*)&lt;/a&gt; prison.

Now that the technology has been introduced, however, these individuals are no longer so easy to dismiss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, a recent article published by The Telegraph, “New ‘smart’ pill tells patients when drugs dose due,” describes how a new nano-sized microchip is being developed for mass consumption in the form of a pill. The microchip pill will be used to monitor the patient's vital signs as well as the metabolism of drugs prescribed by their doctor. This announcement heralds the full-fledged arrival of nanotechnology applications in medicine, and has wide-reaching implications.&lt;a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2012/01/arrival-of-nanotech-medicine-and-what.html"&gt;...read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-7340588623684171584?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/7340588623684171584/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/arrival-of-nanotech-medicine-and-what.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7340588623684171584'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7340588623684171584'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/arrival-of-nanotech-medicine-and-what.html' title='The Arrival of Nanotech Medicine and What it Means for Health and Privacy'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--vbJHB5mBPw/Txqd4-cv42I/AAAAAAAAgNo/LHX-lpSMdoE/s72-c/nanotechnology2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-5334308934709839057</id><published>2012-01-21T22:10:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-21T22:10:08.896+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Feature'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ANNOUNCEMENTS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Advertisements'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video Blog'/><title type='text'>Vlogging Alert - 'MJ.TV'</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GrTXi_o_iGU/TxqZpIznkcI/AAAAAAAAgNI/BsSaFGrSQLk/s1600/videoblog.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GrTXi_o_iGU/TxqZpIznkcI/AAAAAAAAgNI/BsSaFGrSQLk/s200/videoblog.png" width="195" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nDcsGdXPXZU/TxqbcNWauNI/AAAAAAAAgNg/OXN7mWDpfcI/s1600/mjlogo3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="158" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nDcsGdXPXZU/TxqbcNWauNI/AAAAAAAAgNg/OXN7mWDpfcI/s200/mjlogo3.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There's so much going on behind the scenes ...! So many plans now reaching fruition. 2012 is definitely shaping up to be THE year. After carefully scrutinising potential new ideas ... and new ways forward, it's time to present A Light In The Darkness is a new way. A video blog ... very much in the spirit of 'VLOGGING'. In the coming weeks a series of short video excerpts will be added to the Matthew James Medium channel on You Tube. Paranormal &amp;amp; new age themes will be discussed and featured in these excerpts by way of a trial. As with most things ... it will be trial and error. At a later date other ideas/plans will be added to this ... and it will most certainly evolve towards the destination that has been foreseen in recent months. The project has been provisionally nicknamed 'MJ.TV' ... and until a better name is devised this is what it will be known as!!! At this point it is impossible to glean exactly how it will pan out; it might be a serious embarrassment (MJ has to be filmed and be happy with the footage lol!) ... or it might be a long standing venture like A Light In The Darkness. It IS likely to be controversial as MJ will be encouraged to voice his opinions and his insights. Plus share a closer look into his own spiritual concepts and viewpoints. There is also the plan to feature a number of video readings or video rune/tarot tuitions ... plus interviews with MJ and selected guests.

Smaller than a grain of sand, the tiny chip will monitor which drug pills are taken, and electronically send this information to patches worn on patients' arms. The patches will then send the information to the mobile phones of patients' relatives and physicians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The chips are reportedly made of "ingredients commonly found in food," and are layered with copper, magnesium, and silicon components. When consumed along with pharmaceutical drugs, these chips are activated by stomach acids, which causes them to generate electric currents marked with specific signatures that match the drugs taken. When the process is complete, parties receiving the information will know whether or not patients took their medications, and at what time they took them&lt;a href="http://www.sott.net/articles/show/240446-Edible-Drug-Tracking-Microchips-to-be-Unveiled-in-UK-by-Year-s-End"&gt;....read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;span style="background-color: white;

I will give you an example. People go around all day doing good deeds for society, but still suffer enormous amounts karma. The reason is these people see themselves as separate from bad people who go around doing bad things. Subconsciously they say, I am a good person because I do this, this and this, and you are a bad person because you do this, this and that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not what you "say" or "do" that causes karma, it is what you "think" that causes karma, specifically thoughts of separation, and as I have explained before, people can even suffer from their "good" thoughts just as much as their "bad" thoughts because good and bad is different sides of the same coin of separation&lt;/i&gt;-- The Daily Guru&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-7306389062956309434?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/7306389062956309434/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/inspiration-for-today_21.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7306389062956309434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/7306389062956309434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/inspiration-for-today_21.html' title='Inspiration ...

Yet the truth is that it is up to each one of us to decide what that destiny will be. While each of us is born with a life purpose, it is up to us whether or not we will say yes to fulfilling it. And just like when we choose what to eat, who to keep company with, and whether to turn right or left when we leave our home everyday, choosing to say yes to your destiny is a decision that can only be realized when you take action to make that choice a reality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether you believe it is your destiny to be a parent, an adventurer, an artist, a pioneer, or a spiritual guru, saying yes to your destiny is only the first step. While manifesting your destiny starts with knowing what you want and believing you can attain your goals, there are then the actions that must be taken and the decisions to be made before your destiny can truly happen. When you take responsibility for fulfilling your destiny and begin acting with the intention of doing so, you not only take fate into your own hands, but also you become the hands of your own fate. Doorways inevitably open for you to step through, and every choice you make can be a creative act toward realizing your goals and dreams. You begin to follow your instincts and intuition, recognize opportunities when they are presented to you, and seize those golden moments. You also begin to recognize the decisions that may not serve this greater picture and can more easily push them aside. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remembering that the decision to fulfill your destiny is always a choice can be empowering. Knowing you are fulfilling your destiny because you want to, rather than because you have to, can make a huge difference. When you are freed from obligation, obstacles in your way become challenges to be overcome, and the journey becomes an adventure rather than the obligatory steps you are being forced to take.

This chemical exists in nearly every plastic container, is used as lining for metal cans, and can even be found on receipts, toilet paper and worldwide currency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BPA leaches from its container into whatever it happens to contain. If you microwave a TV dinner for example, the chemical content of the plastic container would find its way into the food you are going to eat. Likewise, when bottled water or a soft drink is manufactured and shelved, BPA leaches into the liquid over the time it takes to be purchased and consumed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of its widespread application in all forms of packaging, manufacturing and otherwise, chances are that you are somehow interacting with this substance on a daily basis. Many other countries have already declared BPA a toxin and prohibited its usage in a number of products. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BPA is an endocrine disruptor. It mimics the natural hormones produced by your body, specifically estrogen. When your body interacts with BPA, it delivers an estrogen-mimicking effect. This is known to lead to a host of health problems including&amp;nbsp;infertility, cancer, weight gain and more.&lt;a

second) at 4 to 7 cycles per second; we can receive great benefits by using this level.&amp;nbsp;Each time that we activate our mind, it seeks the first place where it can function deductively. If we are meditating at an Alpha level, when we activate it, the brain goes up to Beta, but if we activate it while being at the Theta levels, then it will only go up to Alpha, where we still are at deep levels&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Theta sound can also be used to practice the mind control exercises that are supposed to be done at Alpha level, because as the Theta sound pulses at exactly half the rate of Alpha, it´s easy for the brain to have one Alpha beat for every two beats of the Theta sound.&amp;nbsp;And since the Theta sound beats at a slower rate, the brain is attracted to a lower rate of pulsing, and makes it easier to remain at alpha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problems that we want to correct with mind control techniques must be within our reach. Our mind needs to have enough information about a problem to be able to correct it, and if we have never reached the Theta level, then it is closed to us.&amp;nbsp;Every time that we enter into the Theta level with conscious awareness, that opens that level to us, and puts it within our reach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;And if you learn to master the Theta level, you will be able to control physical pain without taking medicines&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Roberto_Bonomi"&gt;..read more&amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt;...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-4382935064211979312?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/4382935064211979312/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/deep-theta-sound.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/4382935064211979312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/4382935064211979312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/deep-theta-sound.html' title='The Deep Theta Sound'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-fTqqexhgAkk/TxlC6tZyNaI/AAAAAAAAgMQ/VvyfmUoq1G4/s72-c/sinewave.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-6840567481608793558</id><published>2012-01-20T21:24:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T21:24:19.687+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meditation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Healing Techniques'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Healing'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Visualisations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Special Interest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Self Development Techniques'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health Issues'/><title type='text'>Breathing Exercises</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLXKEGX-zuw/TxlAQeQFOzI/AAAAAAAAgMI/gW6htQFzJ-4/s1600/Breathing_Therapy_0.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZLXKEGX-zuw/TxlAQeQFOzI/AAAAAAAAgMI/gW6htQFzJ-4/s200/Breathing_Therapy_0.gif" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.herenow4u.net/index.php?id=69902"&gt;http://www.herenow4u.net/index.php?id=69902&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Correct breathing can make a huge difference to how we feel. It is very difficult to feel upset or angry when you are breathing slowly, deeply and quietly. It is also a great way to help you sleep.&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;If you will, try taking a deep breath right now.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you feel more alert and energized now? Lack of oxygen in the blood makes us feel tired, and can cause headaches. A few deep breaths can lower anxiety, ease mild indigestion, and help us wake up and go to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meditation, which is similar to hypnosis, is also very effective at reducing stress. Try this simple breathing exercise daily, or at least when you are feeling stressed and need some time out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Get yourself comfortable, you may wish to lie or sit. Make sure you not get disturbed for about half an hour. Subdue the lighting. Close your eyes if it helps you concentrate, or better still keep them half open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breath as naturally as you can, and count each out breath up to ten. Repeat this for about 20 minutes&lt;/i&gt;. Notice how your breath is warmer when exhaled.Listen to the sound of the breathing through your body.

In many cases, sweeping is a lost art, replaced by the noisy, efficient vacuum cleaner. But in several cultures and religions, sweeping the front and back porch every morning is regarded as an important cleansing ritual that prepares the ground for new energy on every level—physically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. It is often employed to sanctify a space and prepare it for a ceremony. This seemingly simple action has the power to clear away the old and make space for the new. It stirs up the energy in a place, clearing out the astral buildup that is the natural by-product of the presence of humans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This kind of sweeping is not about cleaning the area of dust. In fact, the broom doesn’t have to actually touch the ground to be effective. You might want to consider having two different brooms, one you use for cleaning dust and dirt, and one you use for energy clearing. If you are so inspired, you could decorate your broom by carving its handle, painting it, decorating it with gemstones and ribbons, or any other creative adornment that appeals to you. You can also make your own broom out of tree branches and twigs, or choose a naturally appearing broom from nature, such as a pine bough. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sweeping each morning prepares the ground for the new day at the same time as it deepens our awareness of the importance of letting go of the past to welcome the present. As we clear the energy of our space, we clear our own energy systems. In addition, we create a space that feels clean, clear, and open to all who enter. Be sure to think welcoming thoughts as you sweep, manifesting what you need for the day. Making sweeping part of our daily ritual tunes us into the continuing cycle of releasing the old and welcoming the new that is the hallmark of a healthy energy system.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-2983322478031931763?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/2983322478031931763/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/releasing-and-welcoming.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/2983322478031931763'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/2983322478031931763'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/releasing-and-welcoming.html' title='Releasing and Welcoming'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4OigJL8aHmM/Txk3jpmmsTI/AAAAAAAAgMA/YRHwg7EODGo/s72-c/body_of_light.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36934180.post-520833567101426663</id><published>2012-01-20T20:30:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2012-01-20T20:30:47.834+11:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Matthew James'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ANNOUNCEMENTS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Advertisements'/><title type='text'>Join Matthew James on Facebook!</title><content type='html'>&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D337LB92IX4/Txkzv90rbqI/AAAAAAAAgL4/v4YFlczX9BM/s1600/fb2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="540" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D337LB92IX4/Txkzv90rbqI/AAAAAAAAgL4/v4YFlczX9BM/s640/fb2.jpg" width="380" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Matthew-James-Medium/138202676248654?sk=app_154272794636138"&gt;Join Matthew James on Facebook here&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;b&gt;Click on this link to be magically transported &amp;nbsp;to there ... and I will meet you there!&lt;/b&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36934180-520833567101426663?l=mara-gamiel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/feeds/520833567101426663/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/join-matthew-james-on-facebook.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/520833567101426663'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36934180/posts/default/520833567101426663'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mara-gamiel.blogspot.com/2012/01/join-matthew-james-on-facebook.html' title='Join Matthew James on Facebook!'/><author><name>Matthew James</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04267320544314378223</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-89o0Zrivncw/TkznY9c636I/AAAAAAAAeTc/tZiPQ0zrTys/s220/3134Jam_0088_SSB%2526WLowRes.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D337LB92IX4/Txkzv90rbqI/AAAAAAAAgL4/v4YFlczX9BM/s72-c/fb2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
