Anomaly Gallery - Something Strange On 'Lifeless' Mars

There's most CERTAINLY something (Or many things) on Mars that NASA are NOT telling us. The public domain version of Mars available via Google Mars is so deceptive it is unbelievable. For those of you who've been following the Anomaly Gallery Martian images, here on A Light In The Darkness, over the last few years, will know it is one of our 'pet subjects'. We've been reversing and adjusting the imagery from Google Mars to gain a sense of the 'Real Mars' ... or the Mars they DON'T want you to see. These may only be artistic impressions ... but they have consistencies. We have an extensive library of images that can be freely obtained from Google Mars. There is a LARGE percentage of images that contain SUBSTANTIAL proof of life, water, habitation, artifacts, buildings, road networks on Mars ... however, sceptics and critics alike will still view these images as artist impressions only ...

However, the images are included on A Light In The Darkness for you to view with an open mind and decide for yourself ... below are two images which have been dusted down and added here, because they have been forgotten about!

What is the cause of the plume of white smoke or gas? It can clearly be seen at have substance  ... 

What are the strange structures seen in this image? It looks like some kind of building structure or transportation network to me.

You are a guinea pig

S.O.T.T: Today, we are all unwitting subjects in the largest set of drug trials ever. Without our knowledge or consent, we are testing thousands of suspected toxic chemicals and compounds, as well as new substances whose safety is largely unproven and whose effects on human beings are all but unknown. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) itself has begun monitoring our bodies for 151 potentially dangerous chemicals, detailing the variety of pollutants we store in our bones, muscle, blood, and fat. None of the companies introducing these new chemicals has even bothered to tell us we're part of their experiment. None of them has asked us to sign consent forms or explained that they have little idea what the long-term side effects of the chemicals they've put in our environment - and so our bodies - could be. Nor do they have any clue as to what the synergistic effects of combining so many novel chemicals inside a human body in unknown quantities might produce...read more>>>...

The new face of American serial killers: drone operators

S.O.T.T: He is a drone "pilot". He and his kind have redefined the words "coward", "terrorist", and "sociopath". He is the new face of American warfare. He is a government trained and equipped serial killer. But unlike Ted Bundy or John Gacy, he does not have to worry about getting caught. It is his job. One thing that the drone terrorism/assassination program has revealed to the world is how racist we Americans are. American life is precious... when Americans die we expect the entire world to weep at our feet along with us. Three Americans die in a senseless act of violence and murder at the Boston Marathon, and the entire country grieves and the president makes heartfelt speeches. Where were all the speeches and expressions of grief when the US bombed the school in Chenagai, Afghanistan? Didn't hear about that senseless act of violence and murder? Of course not...read more>>>...

How Fear Blocks Creativity

Daily OM: To understand how fear blocks creativity, take a moment to imagine yourself telling a story. First, imagine telling the story to someone you love and who loves you. You probably feel warmth and energy as you fill in the details of your tale to your friend’s delight. Now, imagine telling the same story to someone who, for whatever reason, makes you uncomfortable. The wonderful twists and turns, the fine points and colorful images that unfolded in your mind for your friend probably won’t present themselves. Instead of warmth, energy, and creativity, you will probably feel opposite sensations and a desire to close down. When we feel unsafe, whether we fear being judged, disliked, or misunderstood, our creative flow stops. Alternately, when we feel safe, our creativity unfolds like a beautiful flower, without conscious effort. Knowing this, we can maximize our creative potential by creating the conditions that inspire our creativity. In order to really be in the flow, we need to feel safe and unrestricted. However, achieving this is not as simple as avoiding people who make us feel uncomfortable. Sometimes we can be alone in a room and still feel totally blocked. When this happens, we know we have come up against elements in our own psyches that are making us feel fearful. Perhaps we are afraid that in expressing ourselves we will discover something we don’t want to know, or unleash emotions or ideas that we don’t want to be responsible for. Or maybe we’re afraid we’ll fail to produce something worthy....read more>>>...

Mediation - A Definition Of True Contact

In orthodox 'religion' Mediation is seen as a function of a priest or priestess, where a mediator is one who acts as an interface between divinity and humanity.

In magic, however, mediation has a far more precise meaning, based on the essential truth that all contain divinity or 'the original being' within us. All are also contained within the Being of the universe. In true mediation, any individual can reach deeply into the states of consciousness where transcendent entities can be met. Such entities can be aspects of divinity; god-forms or beings which have transcended human expression and no longer incarnate on this plane.

In mediation, a human acts as a 'focus' or 'gateway' for the consciousness of such transcendent entities. But know this is not the sole purpose or type of mediation found in the magical arts.

Mediation is not a matter of passive reception, such as the cliched and superficial process of 20th century 'mediumship', but of clarifying and refining personal modes of awareness. When these higher modes are attuned to inner worlds or beings which are vital to magic, mediation may arise.

Mediation is not a matter of 'receiving messages'. If this was the case then it would be virtually valueless as higher modes of awareness and higher spiritual energies actually transcend verbal communication. A true mediator may be able to translate certain key images of the spiritual realms into words, but the mediator is more likely to act as a channel for a specific energy or power to flow out into the magical circle and more ultimately into the world.

Therefore, an initiate working magic, such as rituals or visualisations, may become a mediator through the simple act of ritual pattern making and the controlled use of the imagination. In the magical arts, anyone making a sign, or chanting a mantra, or visualising a symbol, is mediating the power of being through specific and dynamic magical archetypal channels. The more powerful effects of mediation, however, are not usually developed without years of effort and deliberate control.

Tumeric - How Good Is It For You?

Tumeric is part of the ginger family. Tumeric is a spice that is included in 99% of our curry blends and masalas. One of the main antioxidants is a phytochemical Curcumin which is responsible for its healing properties. Generally native to South East Asia, it requires temperatures between 20-30C and a large rainfall to grow and thrive. In Ayurvedic Medicine it is believed that when consumed, this root is powerful in aiding calm and balance between the five elements of the humanbody: Earth/Water/Fire/Air/Ether (space).

 A balance in these elements is seen to increase both physical and mental capabilities, and longevity.

In western medicine it is increasingly applied as a Nutritional Chemotherapy as it possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-arthritic, anti-tumor and anti-amyloid actions. These combat neurodegenerative effects on the body. So it is worthwhile to include it in your daily cooking. We are pleased to inform you that tumeric is a spice that is included in 99% of our curry blend masalas. (Source: Mudgeeraba Spices)

Meet the Man Called ‘Crazy’ By Doctors Who Cured His Own Colon Cancer

Telling your mainstream medical doctor that you’d like to forfeit chemotherapy and instead adopt an organic lifestyle full of juicing and raw nutrition to treat your own cancer could lead him or her to label you as ‘insane’, but it could also save your life. In the case of one man with stage 3 colon cancer given a 60% chance to live for a maximum of five more years under chemotherapy, he decided to forfeit chemo and venture into a natural health lifestyle only to be more than satisfied 9 years later....read more>>>>

'From The Ridiculous To The Sublime' - Collecting Rainwater Now Illegal in Many States

From The Trenches: Many of the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. are quickly eroding as the nation transforms from the land of the free into the land of the enslaved, but what I’m about to share with you takes theassault on our freedoms to a whole new level. You may not be aware of this, but many Western states, including Utah, Washington and Colorado, have long outlawed individuals from collecting rainwater on their own properties because, according to officials, that rain belongs to someone else.

How about the question of who owns your body? According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark office, U.S. corporations and universities already own 20% of your genetic code. Your own body, they claim, is partially the property of someone else.

So if they own your land, your water and your body, how long before they claim to own your air, your mind and even your soul?

Unless we stand up against this tyranny, it will creep upon us, day after day, until we find ourselves totally enslaved by a world of corporate-government collusion where everything of value is owned by powerful corporations — all enforced at gunpoint by local law enforcement....read more>>>...

Revealing the connection between sugar and cancer...again

S.O.T.T: During digestion, cells in the intestine identify sugar and tell the pancreas to release insulin (the hormone responsible for blood sugar regulation). The sugars in the digestive system do this with the use of a hormone called GIP which assists in the insulin release. Dr. Garcia-Jimenez found that a specific protein known as β-catenin controls the ability of the intestines to release GIP and this protein is dependent on sugar levels.

"Increased activity of β-catenin is known to be a major factor in the development of many cancers and can make normal cells immortal, a key step in early stages of cancer progression. The study demonstrates that high (but not normal) sugar levels induce nuclear accumulation of β-catenin and leads to cell proliferation. The changes induced on β-catenin, the molecules involved and the diversity of cancer cells susceptible to these changes are identified," Science Daily reports.

Simplified: increased blood sugar levels could lead to increased production of this protein which is known to impact cancer risk...read more>>>...

Ten ways Monsanto is trying to kill us all

S.O.T.T: Energy-intensive industrial farming practices that rely on toxic chemicals and genetically engineered crops are not just undermining public health - they're destroying the planet.

Here's how:

Generating Massive Greenhouse Gas Pollution (CO2, Methane, Nitrous Oxide) and Global Warming; While Promoting False Solutions Such as Industrial Biofuels, So-Called Drought-Resistant Crops, and Genetically Engineered Trees

Evaluations of corn grown for ethanol show that whatever reduction in emissions you get from burning corn instead of oil in the gas tank is more than offset by the fact that producing biofuel from corn requires as much fuel as it could replace. Corn production, like the production of all of the crops (corn, cotton, canola, soy, and now, sugar beets and alfalfa) that Monsanto has so successfully industrialized through its business model of selling patented GMO seeds to increase the use of its pesticides, is very fossil fuel intensive. But that's just the beginning of Monsanto's contribution to agriculture's green house gas emissions. With ever-increasing acreage, where are all those GMO crops going? They're being fed to animals, and when you look at emissions from factory farms, you'll wish we burned them in the gas tank instead! ...read more>>>...

Right Where We Are

DailyOm: Many spiritual seekers feel called to far-flung places across the globe in the interest of pursuing the path of their enlightenment. This may indeed be the right course of action for certain people, but it is by no means necessary to attaining an enlightened consciousness. Enlightenment can take root anywhere on earth, as long as the seeker is an open and ready vessel for higher consciousness. All we need is a powerful intention, and a willingness to do the work necessary to moving forward on our path.

In terms of spiritual practice, at this moment, there are more tools available to more people than at any other time in history. We have access to so much wisdom through the vehicles of books, magazines, the Internet, television, and film. In addition, the time-honored practice of meditation is free, and sitting quietly everyday, listening to the universe, is a great way to start the journey within. There is further inspiration in the fact that the greatest teachers we have are our own life experiences, and they come to us every day with new lessons and new opportunities to learn. If we look at the people around us, we may realize that we have a spiritual community already intact, and if we don’t, we can find one, if not in our own neighborhood, then on-line....read more>>>....

Raven Totem Animal

Alltotems: Keywords: Introspection, Self-knowledge, Courage, Magic, Mysteries, Shape-shifting, Creation, Divination, Wisdom, Truth, Answers, Secrets,Messages, Instruction, Change ...

Ravens are also considered powerful teachers of the mysteries, or magic. Consider the truth and inner wisdom we each hold within. Just as a raven spirit can mimic the calls of many birds and animals so can you learn to understand the meaning buried in the symbols and messages that surround us. Raven totems teach magic, or reveals the magic within, not hocus pocus magic, but how the energy of your will can be used to shape and create the environment around you. This ties into the message of change, not only can you change internally, but you can change the external. Again, people often dread the raven guide and his message because developing strong willpower, changing, or exercising your intention, takes dedication and persistence.

Raven guide flies to us with the message of heightened perception and greater awareness of our conscious and subconscious minds. Just as a raven is often a silent observer, you may wish to observe your environment, the people in it, and your own behavior. Your behavior is motivated by a deep and complex tapestry woven over the expanse of your entire lifetime. The Raven totem is a gatekeeper of knowledge, a keeper of secrets, and a protector of truth. An interesting note about this protection is that the raven guide often protects us from difficult truths, or inner demons. When the Raven totem is faced with a challenge it will persist, it will approach the problem from many angles, it will use tools, all just to get to that juicy morsel at the center of the problem. Don’t expect change to come overnight, face your own inner challenges, it takes time to untangle the knots you’ve spent years making. The knots are like blocks, untangle them, follow the threads, and great inner truths will be revealed....read more>>>...

All Evidence Points To Bombings Being Staged

The Problem with Paradigms: In Search of Earth’s Hidden History

New Dawn Magazine: Mainstream orthodox (or ‘physical’) science contains as many paradigms as it does supposed facts, if not more; but it still tends to treat the former as largely substantiated facts. However, a paradigm – as the dictionary confirms – is merely a model, involving one or more assumptions. In fact, it is representative of the seemingly best functional theory or hypothesis available with accessible data in the face of ignorance of the true facts, which may in fact be quite different. That then, along with all the rest, is then presented to the world as ‘scientific knowledge’. This, however, presents us with a problem because physical science sees itself as technology based, due to the need for reliably consistent reproduction of accurate data in the face of man’s own psychological and sensory inconsistency. Problematically, physical technology is itself based on paradigmatic assumptions and the associated limitations of then available sub-technology. So where does that put us in relation to the wider human experience which takes into consideration states of existence beyond the physical and even treats these as more real than the physical? ... read more>>>..

11:11 Is it Happening to You?

New Dawn Magazine: Imagine waking up at exactly the same moment night after night for years and seeing the same time appear on the alarm clock beside your bed. For those who experience this strange occurrence, their first thoughts might be that it was random chance, or simply the product of an overactive imagination. But is it? Is there perhaps a hidden message that is encoded within these mysterious events? It is most assuredly not their imagination causing them to awaken at exactly 11:11pm each night, or to see “11:11” appear on digital readouts, watch faces, billboards, signs, and even calculators. The time prompt phenomenon is real and it is happening to people all over the world.

But it’s not just the number 11 that is showing up in people’s lives – often accompanied by unusual events or profound insights. Sometimes it’s 2:22, 3:33, 4:44 or any combination of digits that sparks a pattern and shakes us out of our complacent view of the world as random and chaotic. Throughout the history of human experience, mysterious numbers and strange sequences appear. Even in nature we find numbers, often grouped into sequences and patterns that seem to form an underlying structure to all of reality – both the seen and unseen. Two of the most stunning examples are the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Spiral, both of which imply a higher order of measurement behind what many of us take for granted, like the proportion of our own bodies, or the layout of petals on a flower.

The Golden Ratio, also known as the Divine Ratio, the Golden Ration and Golden Mean, is an irrational number of approximately 1.618033988749. This ratio is found throughout the natural, scientific and man-made worlds as the highest expression of balance, symmetry and aesthetics. This fundamental formula can be described as “the ratio whereby the ratio of the whole to the larger section equals the ratio of the larger section to the smaller section.” ...read more>>>...

Atlantis in Antarctica? Tracking the Myths of a Lost Island Paradise

New Dawn Magazine: The idea that Antarctica was home to Atlantis has at its root a radical rethinking of the geological history of our planet. Formulated by our mentor, Charles H. Hapgood (1904–1982) the theory of an Earth crust displacement enjoyed the enthusiastic support of Albert Einstein (1879–1955). Hapgood and Einstein corresponded about Hapgood’s work for the last three years of the great physicist’s life. The essence of the theory that piqued his interest lay within the physical dynamics of the Earth’s inner structure. The bulk of our planet’s mass consists of an inner core of solid iron surrounded by liquid iron. This core is encircled by the thickest part of the Earth which is composed of two mantles of solid rock. Covering the upper mantle lies the asthenosphere or “weak zone.” It is the asthenosphere’s mobility that allows the Earth’s crust (lithosphere) to shift. An Earth crust displacement occurs when the entire outer shell of the planet moves leaving a devastating climatic legacy. Because the Earth’s tilt (axis) is not affected, the planet’s climatic zones (polar, temperate and tropical) don’t change. However, vast areas of the crust (which includes ocean basins) do experience a catastrophic change in climate. Before the last Earth crust displacement, part of Antarctica lay outside the polar zone. This is the area that could have been the site of Atlantis. The consequences of a crustal displacement are monumental. As the Earth’s crust ripples over its interior, the world is shaken by incredible earthquakes and floods. The sky seems to fall. The sun appears to rise and set over an altered horizon until finally the crust grinds to a halt. Beneath the ocean, earthquakes generate massive tidal waves that inundate coastlines. Some lands shift to warmer climates. Others, propelled into the polar zones, suffer the direst of winters. Melting ice caps, released from the polar areas, raise the ocean’s level ever higher. All living creatures must adapt, migrate or die...read more>>>...

The Great Rays of Initiation

Collective Evolution: This is a message for all who genuinely feel a higher calling and a deeper sense of purpose is needed at this time in their lives. From a soul-level perspective, we are all here to express our gifts and abilities in a unique manner that is exactly tailored to our skill-set and deepest longings. We are here to be of service during these tremendous times of change, and in order to be effective, we must fully realize the magnitude of the transition we are currently going through. To successfully navigate this transition, we must cultivate and re-establish our connection to our Inner Being — our Source — for this is where Knowledge lies within us. What is called for us at this time is a willingness and a desire to be of greater service, to fully step into our roles here, whatever they may be. This desire comes from the depths of our being, and many of us are feeling this calling now. This is a process that requires greater integrity, self-awareness and compassion. For many of our relationships, outer circumstances, and life experiences may drastically change as this process unfolds. Ultimately, being really honest with ourselves is required, especially concerning our associates, activities, priorities, and goals. It is important to understand that opportunities to actualize our higher calling are not available forever — we must be ready, willing, and able to answer the call when the time comes...read more>>>...

Cholesterol Plays A Beneficial Role In Immunity

S.O.T.T: In general terms, the body likes to keep its physiological and biochemical parameters within a certain range - not too high and not too low. This applies to an endless stream of factors including blood sugar levels, temperature, blood pH, blood pressure and sodium levels. However, there are some doctors and researchers who believe that the normal rules do not apply to cholesterol, and specifically 'low density lipoprotein'-cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol).

There is a general belief that LDL-cholesterol is 'bad' and is largely responsible for the narrowing of the vessels and heart disease and cerebrovascular disease (the precursors of heart attack and stroke respectively). Using this line of thinking, then the lower we get cholesterol levels, the better.

Regular readers of this blog may know that cholesterol is an essential element in the body. It's in all cell membranes, and a major constituent of key components including several hormones and vitamin D (actually, vitamin D is a hormone, despite it being branded a 'vitamin')...read more>>>...

2013 - A Scary World

From a personal perspective 2013 is the world gone crazy! Everything appears to be going out of proportion. Time seems to be racing towards some kind of crazy needle's eye. Agendas seem to be put onto to the fastest speed ... and the year is advancing along at a phenomenal pace.

My own observations extend to what lies around me at this time. Relevant things. Relevant for me is the mystic environment. It is chaotic bedlam at this time. I cannot recall it as crazy as it is right now. 'Psychics' are popping up out of the woodwork on a daily basis. False ego is running amok and crazy people are claiming the responsibility of human souls with work they are not at all experienced enough to undertake. It is a ridiculous time at the moment. Crazy and insane.

Elsewhere in the world there seems to be masses of sheep and zombies totally oblivious to what is truly taking place at this time. 2013 is meant to be the year when you walk in your own truth ... at this time for so many it is a enchanted sojourn through manufactured delusions ... it is a worry! And it is only getting worse. And I can only comprehend it is going to get a whole lot worse this year. 2013 is a scary year!

Right now it feels we are standing in a collective maelstrom ... a whirlpool of energy comprising intense push and pull. It feels like those of us who are now awakened are attempting to break free from the collective malaise ... and those still captured in the manufactured reality bullshit are refusing to listen to the truth. They are being pulled deeper and deeper into the dark cesspit that 'the possessed elite' are leading them into. 2013 is the year of the push and pull. A crazy year ... the divide between light and dark apparent now in the mind space. The collective being pulled apart.

The remainder of 2013 is due to get worse as the darkness descends still further and the collective mankind is subjected to more manufactured fear and terror; as the possessed ones move in for a massive feed. Those awakened look on in horror ... ego and delusion are our adversaries as the darkness tries to prevent us from lifting our vibration higher and higher ... away from the frequencies the possessed create and use to control the minds of man.

2013 is madness personified, sadly. It is the stark light of truth now for so many ... who grip tightly the manufactured reality they take to be life ... and are fearful of anything that reveals that their faith and their perceptions have indeed been lies. They are the fearful rabbits in the headlights ... who refuse to accept that their entire life has been a lie. This reality is not what it appears ... and as the frequencies lift they find it hard to cope with the push and pull taking place in their sub-conscious. Something must give ... 2013 is the year that so many will find it impossible to cope - Matthew James

The Forbidden Legacy of a Fallen Race

New Dawn Magazine: Angels are something we associate with beautiful Pre-Raphaelite and renaissance paintings, carved statues accompanying gothic architecture and supernatural beings who intervene in our lives at times of trouble. For the last 2000 years this has been the stereotypical image fostered by the Christian Church. But what are angels? Where do they come from, and what have they meant to the development of organised religion?

Many people see the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament, as littered with accounts of angels appearing to righteous patriarchs and visionary prophets. Yet this is simply not so. There are the three angels who approach Abraham to announce the birth of a son named Izaac to his wife Sarah as he sits beneath a tree on the Plain of Mamre. There are the two angels who visit Lot and his wife at Sodom prior to its destruction. There is the angel who wrestles all night with Jacob at a place named Penuel, or those which he sees moving up and down a ladder that stretches between heaven and earth.

Yet other than these accounts, there are too few examples, and when angels do appear the narrative is often vague and unclear on what exactly is going on. For instance, in the case of both Abraham and Lot the angels in question are described simply as ‘men’, who sit down to take food like any mortal person....read more>>>...

DHS and FBI Warn of Terrorists with Cameras Following Boston Bombing

Infowars: The terrorist attack, or staged terrorist attack, in Boston, like the 9/11 attack before it, will result in the continued destruction of our constitutionally guaranteed liberty. The police state, led by the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, are already spearheading the effort. On April 16, the day after the attack in Boston, the DHS and FBI created a “Joint Intelligence Bulletin”instructing law enforcement and private sector safety officials on how they should identify and mitigate potential terrorist threats. After stating that behavior outlined in the bulletin may “constitute the exercise of rights guaranteed by the US Constitution,” the DHS and FBI say “possible indicators” of terrorist activity include “[d]iscrete use of cameras or video recorders, sketching, or note taking consistent with pre-operational surveillance.” Photography should be considered part of a “totality of behavioral indicators and other relevant circumstances” before “any law enforcement response or action,” according to the bulletin....read more>>>...

What If We Lost Our Moon?

Redice Creations: Today I was asked a question that was motivated by the new movie Oblivion: What would happen to the Earth if the moon was destroyed? “I dunno,” I replied, “What doeshappen when the moon is destroyed?” When the expected why-the-chicken-crossed-the-road response didn’t come, I decided I’d better try and answer the question. The first thing that came to mind is that it depends on the manner of the moon’s destruction. If it was, say, zapped to bits by a Death Star and those bits still floated in a cluster in the same orbit, I expect they would exert the same gravitational pull on Earth as does the intact moon, and not much would change on Earth. We’d no longer watch the phases of the moon at night, but see a glittering cloud of debris which would probably be a lot brighter than the full moon, what with all those zillions of little surfaces to reflect sunlight. I know some astronomers who would really hate this new interference with their dark skies. But if the moon were dragged off and completely removed, there would be none of its mass left to tug gravitationally on the Earth. One of the effects would be that we could throw out tide tables for good. The ocean tides would still happen, but the bulge of water would follow the sun, so you could expect high tides around noon everywhere, everyday.

Peaceful mind: Five steps to feeling relaxed fast

S.O.T.T: How to fight a psychological scourge of the modern world. We worry about work, money, our health, our partners, children...the list goes on. And let's face it, there are plenty of things to worry about, and that's even before you've turned on the news. This means that when the mind is given an idle moment, often what it seems to fill it with is worrying. Worry can be useful if it's aimed at solving problems but less useful when it's just making us unhappy or interfering with our daily lives. The standard psychological methods for dealing with everyday worry are pretty simple. But just because they're simple and relatively well-known doesn't mean we don't need reminding to use them from time-to-time.

So here is a five-step plan called "The Peaceful Mind" that was actually developed by psychologists specifically for people with dementia (Paukert et al., 2013). Because of this it has a strong focus on the behavioural aspects of relaxation and less on the cognitive. That suits our purposes here as the cognitive stuff (what you are worrying about) can be quite individual, whereas the behavioural things, everyone can do...read more>>>...

"All major mystical traditions have recognized that there is a paradox at the heart of the journey of return to Origin. ...Put simply, this is that we are already what we seek, and that what we are looking for on the Path with such an intensity of striving and passion and discipline is already within and around us at all moments. The journey and all its different ordeals are all emanations of the One Spirit that is manifesting everything in all dimensions; every rung of the ladder we climb toward final awareness is made of the divine stuff of awareness itself; Divine Consciousness is at once creating and manifesting all things and acting in and as all things in various states of self-disguise throughout all the different levels and dimensions of the universe." -- Andrew Harvey

No Gun in the boat? Key details change in chaotic shootout and subsequent capture of Boston bombing suspect

S.O.T.T: As officials release more information about the Boston bombings - and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's capture, in particular - key details previously advanced by authorities are changing. Among them, some police sources are now claiming that the 19-year-old suspect was not armed while hiding in a boat last Friday. But that's only a sliver of the new information that seems to contradict previous reports about the chaotic manhunt. The New York Times published an article on Thursday morning, highlighting some of these issues and corrections. To begin, not only did Dzhokar reportedly not have a gun in the boat, but it appears that police may have only found one other weapon that is traceable back to his brother, Tamerlan. This means that the brothers didn't necessarily have an arsenal, as was previously assumed...read more>>>...

'From The Ridiculous To The Sublime: Scientists: Creativity part of 'mental illness'

S.O.T.T: If you like to express yourself through painting, writing, or any other form of artistic action, scientists now say that you must be suffering from a mental illness of some kind. In a new display of how truly insane the mainstream medical health paradigm has become, mainstream media outlets are now regurgitating the words of 'experts' who say that those who are creative are actually, more often than not, mentally ill. 

After all, more than 50% of the United States is, by definition of the psychiatrists of the nation, mentally ill. Even questioning the government is considered a mental disorder. It should come as no surprise to know that upwards of 70% of the psychiatrists who write the conditions are - of course - on the payroll of those who produce the drugs to 'treat' the conditions. It should also therefore come as no surprise to note that the DSM (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which is the foundation of the entire diagnosis system) now contains over 900 pages of bogus disorders....read more>>>...

David Icke - The Matrix Information Construct & Breaking The Vibrational Code

The Review Of A Lifetime

The human perspective is rather strange. A bold statement I know, but it is true. We are brought into a world controlled by time - the past, the present and the future - yet the only perspective we actually exist in is the NOW. It is the only viewpoint that exists in our awareness. As soon as a thought has passed your mind - it becomes the past. We plan and anticipate events - the come into the now and then are gone into the past. History. What has gone before in moments. Fleeting moments that we all experience.

But, are we truly the participator in our reality? Or are we merely the observer? What appears before our eyes has been inbred in us as REALITY ... as human existence. As LIVING. But what if it isn't??? What if our stand point IS the observer ... and we are merely watching life as some kind of interactive movie? We may appear to be taking part in our life minute by minute ... as monitored by the logical and ritualistic left hand brain. But when you click into the 'laid back' nature of the right hand brain ... life is witnessed from a totally different perspective. Life becomes something that is observed.

You still feel you are taking part, but a separate part of YOU is there as an observer. You are still connected to the decisions you make and the experiences you are having ... but a seemingly different perspective kicks in ... and that is of an observer who is watching events AFTER they have taken place. An observer that exists outside of human time ... an observer seemingly beyond the past, the present and the future. A part of self that is aware of all three lanes in the highway simultaneously.

As the observer you have the distinct feeling that the life you are somehow connected to ... has already taken place ... and like the person who's seen the movie before, the observer is anticipating the juicy bits and the interesting bits. It is anticipating those key moments ...

To the majority they are totally connected and linked into their reality and will not see this observation perspective. They will tend to disagree with this observation. But to those who live out their daily lives with their right brain dominant ... they will know EXACTLY what is being spoken of here. There are clearly two different points of reference; two different perspectives.

As The Participator life appears different to The Observer. At birth it is clear we are all The Observer; but through the 'education treadmill' The Observer is somehow disconnected from our awareness and we all become The Participator. We are disconnected from that other aspect of self, totally unaware of its existence. Through careful self examination and self discovery, we discover the patient and stress free Observer. Once reconnected to that aspect of self, our 'lives' are never the same again. We discover just what mortal life really is, and realise the truth of 'the review of a lifetime' ...

Psychopaths are not neurally equipped to have concern for others

S.O.T.T: "A marked lack of empathy is a hallmark characteristic of individuals with psychopathy," said the lead author of the study, Jean Decety, the Irving B. Harris Professor in Psychology and Psychiatry at UChicago. Psychopathy affects approximately 1 percent of the United States general population and 20 percent to 30 percent of the male and female U.S. prison population. Relative to non-psychopathic criminals, psychopaths are responsible for a disproportionate amount of repetitive crime and violence in society.

"This is the first time that neural processes associated with empathic processing have been directly examined in individuals with psychopathy, especially in response to the perception of other people in pain or distress," he added.

The results of the study, which could help clinical psychologists design better treatment programs for psychopaths, are published in the article, "Brain Responses to Empathy-Eliciting Scenarios Involving Pain in Incarcerated Individuals with Psychopathy," which appears online April 24 in the journal JAMA Psychiatry...read more>>>>...

Everything is Relative

Daily Om: Every day we hear stories of personal suffering and loss that far exceed our own. When we compare our situations to those of people living in war-torn countries or those who have lost their homes and livelihoods to natural disasters, it is tempting to minimize our own experiences of suffering. We may feel that we don’t have a right to be upset about the breakup of a relationship, for example, because at least we have food to eat and a roof over our heads. While awareness of the pain of others in the world can be a valuable way to keep our own struggles in perspective, it is not a legitimate reason to disregard our own pain. Disparaging your feelings as being less important than other people's emotions leads to denial and repression. Over time, an unwillingness to experience your own feelings leads to numbness. It is as if our internal systems become clogged with our unexpressed emotions. This in no way helps other people who are suffering in the world. In fact, it may do just the opposite because when we devalue our own sorrow, we become impervious to the sorrow in others...read more>>>...

Today's Inspiration

To become more prosperous, we need to change on at least two levels. First, we must ensure our financial affairs are in order. We need an income that at least covers our expenses. And we need a foundation of habits, tools and skills so we achieve some financial stability in our day-to-day experience.

Second, we must become aware of the beliefs we hold around money and prosperity. If we unconsciously believe we are lacking in some way, then no matter what we do, we will unconsciously sabotage our own efforts to improve our finances.

And third, it's helpful to understand the spiritual principles that govern our level of abundance. Once we know those principles, we can work effectively within them to attract abundance to us.

Dzhokhar Is Innocent

Aangirfan: New surveillance images from Boston show chilling images of 'Red Bull and Doritos'. 

Tamerlan Tsaraev attended the same school as actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Friends describe Dzhokhar Tsaraev as a mild-mannered pot-smoker, and seem genuinely shocked that he could have been involved in violence. According to Dzhokhar's Twitter account, Dzhokhar dreams of cheeseburgers, jokes with friends about getting high, finding girls and watching the fantasy saga "Game of Thrones" on TV.

The day after the bombing, he tweeted: 'I'm a stress-free kind of guy'. After the attacks, he went to the gym the following night.

Several of his friends have launched Facebook and Twitter campaigns proclaiming his innocence and arguing that he was set up. Others have said they believe so strongly in his good character that they would testify for him at trial...read more>>>...

Psychopaths’ Brain Patterns Lack Means for Empathy

Zen Haven: Psychopathy is a personality disorder in which people have a “callous disregard for others,” according to researchers, as well as high impulsivity and aggression.

A Lack of empathy is a signature trait of psychopaths— fascinating in fiction, inexplicable in reality. Now, a new study on psychopathic prisoners reveals strikingly different brain patterns that may limit their ability to emotionally respond to other people’s pain.

“This is the first time that neural processes associated with empathic processing have been directly examined in individuals with psychopathy, especially in response to the perception of other people in pain or distress,” said lead researcher Jean Decety, a psychology professor at the University of Chicago, in a news release.

While previous studies have found differences between the brain structure of psychopathic convicts and controls, this is the first to observe neural differences in how they respond to distressing situations.

Empathy is a basic and evolutionarily ancient instinct, wrote Decety’s team in the study, and sensitivity to the pain of others is one of the earliest forms of it to develop in young children. The neural circuit of empathy is believed to involve connections among outer regions of the brain like the insula, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), as well as inner regions like the brainstem, amygdala, and hypothalamus...read more>>>...

75% of physicians in the world refuse chemotherapy for themselves

S.O.T.T: Doctors used to think that if they drained a sick person's blood it would purge the "evil" infection or disease right out of the body, but all that did was make the ill person much weaker, unable to fight off whatever was invading their body, and the patient was then highly likely to lose the battle for life, and in less time. Research using polls and questionnaires continue to show that 3 of every 4 doctors and scientists would refuse chemotherapy for themselves due to its devastating effects on the entire body and the immune system, and because of its extremely low success rate. On top of that, only 2 to 4% of all cancers even respond to chemotherapy or prove to be "life extending," yet it is prescribed across the board for just about every kind of cancer...read more>>>...

Shifting with the Tide

Daily Om: Since our lives are constantly in motion energetically, change is a constant element of our existence. As dynamic as that energy is, it is not random or haphazard in nature—the shifts in energy that are constantly taking place are the result of our choices. The formulation of intention, a change in perspective, or the creation of a goal can transform our lives in blink of an eye. We think positive thoughts and the world becomes a brighter place. Or we decide who we want to be and become that person. With each passing moment, we are given innumerable opportunities to create change using nothing more than our awareness. In the span of a single second, our lives can change immeasurably because energy moves at a pace more rapid than anything we can consciously fathom. Though we may not at first be sensitive to the vibrational shifts taking place, our choices are ultimately at the heart of these transformations. We can typically recognize the consequences of key decisions because we anticipated the resultant energetic shifts...read more>>>...

Quote for the Day

"We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit." -- e. e. cummings

Is this really human? DNA tests on six-inch skeleton of 'alien-looking' creature with over-sized head prove it was actually human claim scientists in new documentary

Daily Mail: It was hailed as proof of alien life, a mummified visitor from another planet. Ten years after the remains of a six-inch ‘space alien’ were first discovered, they have been confirmed as ‘human’ by Stanford scientists in a new documentary film Sirius. Since the remains of the small humanoid - known as the 'Atacama Humanoid' and nicknamed Ata - were discovered in Chile's Atacama Desert 10 years ago there has been much speculation about its origins. Theories have included that the bones were those of an aborted fetus, or a monkey, or even an alien that had crash-landed on earth. In the weeks leading up to Monday’s premier of Sirius, UFO enthusiasts had grown increasingly excited that the film could announce a major breakthrough in the search for extra-terrestrial life forms. Experts say the small skeleton certainly bears many of the hallmarks of what we have come to believe aliens look like, in particular a large head overshadowing a small body....read more>>>... Opinion: It's like us alright ... WE contain the same DNA as this humanoid ... alien DNA has been spliced into our human DNA. This story serves as a cover up.

The Many Health Benefits of Rooibos Tea

Inhuman Experience: The herbal tea made from rooibos has been a popular drink in Southern Africa for generations. The plant, Aspalathus linearis, is grown only in a small area in the Western Cape province of South Africa, but during recent years rooibos has become popular in other parts of the world as well. Though not technically a tea, the infusion made from oxidised rooibos leaves is commonly referred to as rooibos tea. Traditionally, it is enjoyed hot with a slice of lemon and sugar or honey, but iced tea versions and even a rooibos espresso made from concentrated rooibos are apparently gaining popularity.

The health benefits of rooibos tea seem to be mostly due to the flavonoids aspalathin and nothofagin, although other compounds in rooibos may also play a part. Here's a summary of the benefits:

*Acts as an antioxidant and increases SOD levels
*Prevents DNA damage
*Cardiovascular protection through ACE inhibition
*Suppresses fasting glucose levels
*Improves glucose uptake and insulin secretion after a meal
*Aids in liver tissue regeneration
*Lowers blood pressure
*Acts as a bronchodilator and antispasmodic
*Inhibits lipid peroxidation and brain aging
*Rooibos extract improves immune defects such as HIV

Since nothofagin and especially aspalathin are not really found in any other plant, rooibos tea looks like a valuable addition to one's health regimen. Even people who are not fans of green tea usually like the taste of rooibos tea. Since rooibos contains no caffeine, it can be also enjoyed in the evening....read more>>>...

Freeing Yourself

Daily Om: Just as a good relationship can have a positive impact on your life, stressful, draining, or imbalanced relationships can have negative effects on your health and well-being. It’s common to maintain a relationship because we feel the other person needs us or we believe that they will eventually change. We may also be afraid of hurting the other person or feel insecure in our ability to find new relationships. But knowing when to end a relationship and acknowledging that the pain will pass can often prevent greater pain and feelings of loss in the long run. If you’re in a relationship that isn’t satisfying or one that has become unhealthy for you, rather than spending energy attempting to fix the problem or complaining, ask yourself what you really want from the relationship. Consider whether the other person truly considers your feelings or if they are willing to change their behavior. Ask yourself if you’ve often thought about ending the relationship or if you feel your bonds have atrophied. While every relationship has ups and downs, when there are more downs than ups or the two of you are bringing out the worst in each other, it may be time to sever the connection. Be honest with yourself and your answers, even if the truth is painful...read more>>>...

Defining Mediumship

‘Mediumship‘ communication is basically a form of telepathy which the entire collective of universal consciousness uses to communicate with its myriad of aspects. As human beings we exhibit but one of its aspects … but there are an endless variety of aspects within this universe. Mediumship is a basic means of communication that all these aspects display … and utilise too as a divine right. As human beings we exist in a reality where this basic form of communication has been suppressed. By utilising our physical vehicles to a greater degree we increase our ability to negate the suppression and reinstall this type of communication …

A simple definition of ‘mediumship’ is a two way communication with another dimensional being. There is an acute awareness that this conversation is happening … needless to say it seems at times that it is your own thoughts that are conferring with themselves. The most common comprehension of another dimension is what us humans have learnt to accept … the spirit world … or the place our loved ones go when they depart this realm. But there are many other dimensions that confer with us in this way - Matthew James 2011

Bloomberg: Constitution Will Have To Change, More Cameras Needed

Prison Planet: New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said that the interpretation of the US Constitution will “have to change” in the wake of the Boston terrorist bombing in order to allow for greater security to prevent more attacks. “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown.“But we live in a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change. Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11,” he added.

Bloomberg, who has repeatedly been targeted by critics over his own nanny state push in recent months, also stated that more surveillance in big cities would be necessary, if that is at all possible.

“We have to understand that in the world going forward, we’re going to have more cameras and that kind of stuff. That’s good in some sense, but it’s different from what we are used to,” Bloomberg said...read more>>>...

Why did European DNA suddenly change 4,000 years ago?

Daily Mail: The genetic makeup of Europe mysteriously transformed about 4,000-5,000 years ago, researchers have discovered. An Australian team found the unexplained change while analysing several skeletons unearthed in central Europe that were up to 7,500 years old. They say the rapid expansion of the Bell Beaker culture, which is believed to have been instrumental in building the monoliths at Stonehedge, could hold the key.'What is intriguing is that the genetic markers of this first pan-European culture, which was clearly very successful, were then suddenly replaced around 4,500 years ago, and we don't know why,' study co-author Alan Cooper of the University of Adelaide Australian Center for Ancient DNA said. 'Something major happened, and the hunt is now on to find out what that was.' Ancient DNA recovered from a series of skeletons in central Germany up to 7500 years old has been used to reconstruct the first detailed genetic history of modern Europe. The study, published today in Nature Communications, reveals a dramatic series of events including major migrations from both Western Europe and Eurasia, and signs of an unexplained genetic turnover about 4000-5000 years ago....read more>>>... Opinion: MJ - it's called genetic manipulation.
