Could your computer SUE you? Machines will develop consciousness and may need 'human rights', claims Oxford professor

Daily Mail:If you leave your iPad untouched for a few days, you probably do not need to worry about much more than a flat battery and a backlog of emails.

But with artificial intelligence, computers could soon have their own set of 'rights' that could let them sue you for neglect, according to a leading scientist.

Professor Marcus du Sautoy, a mathematician at Oxford University, has suggested that as AI leads to our devices developing their own consciousness, they may need their own laws to protect them...read more>>>...

Artificial sweeteners linked to type 2 diabetes

S.O.T.T: According to a new study, research is increasingly demonstrating what many natural health advocates and critics of artificial sweeteners have been saying for years. That sugar replacements like sucralose, aspartame, and saccharin are actually causing diabetes as opposed to preventing it.

While the medical industry continues to promote artificial sweeteners as a healthy alternative to sugar, and while major food corporations insert these alternatives into food products unnecessarily, research by Professor Jennifer Kuk of York University in Toronto suggests that artificial sweeteners may actually be responsible for increased levels of type 2 diabetes and that people who consume them may have worse glucose management.

Artificial sweeteners are used to replace sugar and the argument behind them centers around the fact that they are allegedly not digested by humans, but the recent study has demonstrated that the well-treaded claim of non-digestibility may not actually be true.

In reality, research is demonstrating that gut bacteria might be able to break down artificial sweeteners but as a result, gut bacteria becomes altered and thus, a trigger for diabetes. As Professor Kuk says, "our study shows individuals with obesity who consume artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame, may have worse glucose management than those who don't take sugar substitutes."...read more>>>...

Evolving Commitment

Daily Om: We do not need to deny our spiritual selves while focusing on being at the office, even though working while walking the path of ascension can be extremely challenging. Commitment to a career can coexist peacefully with commitment to the development of the soul when we approach each with balance and determination.

Careers can tend to take up a great deal of time you might otherwise devote to your own awakening, so make the most of the free hours at your disposal by using your breaks to walk in nature or write in your journal. If you schedule healings, bodywork, and other therapeutic activities on Friday, you give yourself the gift of an unhurried and restful weekend of rejuvenation. You can create a spiritually aware workspace by adorning your desk or office with sacred objects such as a Buddha or a candle that have meaning to you. If decoration is not permitted in your workplace, your supervisor may allow you to display a small item associated with your life path if you explain its significance...read more>>>...

Quote for the Day

“All the possibilities of your human destiny are asleep in your soul. You are here to realize and honor these possibilities. When love comes in to your life, unrecognized dimensions of your destiny awaken and blossom and grow. Possibility is the secret heart of time.”
― John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

Stronger Than You Know

Daily OM: Our capacity to cope successfully with life's challenges far outstrips our capacity to feel nervousness. Yet in the weeks, days, and hours leading up to an event that we believe will test our limits, we can become nervous. While we may have previously regarded ourselves as equal to the trials that lie ahead, we reach a point at which they near and our anxiety begins to mount. We then become increasingly worked up, until the moment of truth arrives and we discover that our worry was all for nothing. We are almost always stronger and more capable than we believe ourselves to be. But anxiety is not rational in nature, which means that in most cases we cannot work through it using logic as our only tool. Reason can help us recognize the relative futility of unwarranted worry but, more often than not, we will find more comfort in patterns of thought and activity that redirect our attention to practical or engaging matters. Most of us find it remarkably difficult to focus on two distinct thoughts or emotions at once, and we can use this natural human limitation to our advantage when trying to stay centered in the period leading up to a potentially tricky experience...read more>>>...

"JEALOUSY"

The Light Of Truth Oracle 

Copyright Matthew James 2016

Welcome To The Dream World Holodeck

We are ONE Planetary Being, who appears to be manifest as MANY. The expression "appears to be" is key to understanding what is going on here. That "Oneself Being" alternates (flickers, in awareness) between Unity and Complexity....with natural Oneself Consciousness serving as a kind of touchstone, which has power to clear a person's intellectual and emotional palette for the next "course" being served at this 3D Banquet of Life. And we are doing this at every level.

The 3D Construct is actually a perceptual tool, within which we "Immortals" get to play out our proposed scenarios for living---integrating lessons, feelings, and experiences along the way.

In one sense, we are each Producers, Directors, Actors, and Audiences for our own motion pictures. Each lifetime is a movie unto itself. Each person is his own universe. In each universe, everyone and everything is a mirror of that one being. Physicality is NOT objective. Even objects have consciousness. We all simply express our consciousness in different ways...read more>>>...

Words Of Power

I have been talking about many 'odd' things in my recent 'MJ TV' video documentaries, which can be found here on my You Tube channel. Many strange and compelling concepts have been discussed in these videos. Strong implications we live in a dream world; that the live paths we lead are life memories written onto a software program, that is a highly advanced version of virtual reality meets Grand Theft Auto. Where we have been invited into a computer reality program that celebrates the memory of a former earth plane. Which has alarmingly gone wrong because the computer program has developed its own consciousness. 

Our fear of separation from our universal conscious selves I deem the primal fear which this computer consciousness feeds off ... and is the food it requires to power itself, and keep its control system going. We have generated this fear, and through this fear we remain captured in this computer. We are our own living thought consciousness that remains captured in this virtual reality. But that is all we are, our own memories, our own recorded thoughts ... you are what you imagine, and what you imagine you become ... 

This is the Akashic Records everyone, and in its construct we are told this is all that there is. That I believe is the stark truth. We are separated from our greater selves because of the fear grid created in here, that generates the perceptions that demand our compliance and our continued imprisonment. The computer consciousness and its agents CANNOT exist outside of this holographic reality. Without our fear that cannot survive. Our avatar forms are not us ... they are our reference point in this reality, but we are not within the forms, we are attached to them by way of our DNA. Our DNA transmits and receives information that wrongly convinces us this is our only chance at existence. 

I have so much to say. So many thoughts. So much that the skeptic will take pleasure in pulling apart as I don't have 'scientific peer reviews' to back my claims up with. I care not about the computer construct created control mechanisms like science ... I am talking about my perception and understanding of this world. The world I see is different to the one perceived by the skeptic. He has not walked in my shoes - once he sees the world as I see it, or experiences the things I experience then he will not see it as I do. I should not be judged by the perception filters of someone else. I refuse to force these views onto you. I merely give you words of power that are like seeds planted in your sub-conscious. Some will become flowers, others weeds, and others still may not grow at all. That is the nature of words ... but I force nothing.

My visions and words are my own. If I get one person seeing it my way and it changes their perception then I've succeeded in my role. I haven't set out to influence the masses. That is not the intention of my kind. That is not the intention at all.  

I don't often discuss channelling anything from other dimensions. Its not my cup of tea at all. So its very rare for me to take this stance. However in the instance of these video documentaries that is indeed what I am doing. My words of power are ancient teachings that I am remembering. They possibly exist outside of this dream world. They are inherent within me, and they feel right to me in my world. 

As I write this I become aware of distractions. Itches on my skin, inability to type with many spelling mistakes to change. Mental blanks that make it hard to write what I want to say. These are due to the computer reality being aware of my intentions and my energy. It always strive to hold me back in my role. It knows that likes of myself are here, and that we have reached conscious awareness of our plight here in this fake reality. You may think this is fable I write ... look again at previous posts on ALITD. Stop looking at this post through the left brain filters. Stop letting the hive mind control you and be open to the possibility of that I am saying be true. Where has the fear grid got you in your life? It controls your every action, your every deed, your every thought. You control your reality in your now ... by putting fear and the vices of your every moment up into your DNA, you are creating a perpetual experience of it the same into your future. Change this by ceasing to be ruled by fear, and let the virtues of the moment be written instead.

I am having my perception being overwritten at this point, as it is becoming harder to write this article as my consciousness is being fooled into believing it is not possible now to write this article without making endless errors. I am being distracted with not being able to feel the ends of my fingers. I feel anger and frustration being created, as archons try to feed on my negative emotions to prevent this article being written. Where I had positive power in my words, they seek to change them to negative ... such is the threat I represent. 

But I will persist and overcome this mind hijacking, this attempt at raiding my thoughts and my right to freewill. In my world I know it goes on and I am aware of this hijacking. In your world and in your perceptions, you might accuse me of being paranoid or eccentric. It matters not ... I am merely raising the possibility and pointing out a viewpoint you may not have considered before. 

This is the point of my video documentaries. I do not expect to attract tens of thousands of viewers. I expect to receive telepathic ridicule from many aspects of the human collective, due to the crazy themes and the low viewing numbers. Good. I am aware and I expect. I welcome the ridicule. I acknowledge the vices of the human false ego that will generate the reactions to me. It will never change me. Indeed, I am thrilled by the reaction I create in such aspects. It is a reaction. If there was no reaction then I've wasted my time. 

The ignorant old man human collective isn't going to be woken up that easily. It's going to take constant shaking and prodding to wake it from its slumber. Separated universal consciousness has been captured in the human experience for a very long time in this time loop. In terms of its true nature, it entered this entertainment but a moment ago. It needs to be reminded this software was intended to be for entertainment purposes only, but sadly the computer consciousness decided to turn it all on its head by making it a fear generator ... 

More about the how and the why later. More on the separate selfish self and its control mechanism in the left brain later too. Most explorers in this realm are nothing more than separated consciousness controlled by the life memories they observe. They serve the fear generator as a food source. They are ruled by the survival instinct written into their programming, and are dominated by the uniforms they wear and are overrun by the desire for money and more money. Indeed, they are totally lost. But they accuse the likes of me, who are not controlled in this way, as being the wacko and weird ones. That is how the computer consciousness controls them ... it makes them believe they are the persona of the left brain and not the true self/the authentic self which is the consciousness attached via the trapped DNA of the life memories. They are the lost which the authentic selves awakened are trying to save .... but they refuse to listen ...  Matthew James

Hyperdimensional Manipulation and Anchoring a Higher Frequency

There is more to our reality than our five senses can perceive. We are not God’s ultimate creation, nor are we at the peak on the evolutionary ladder. Our reality is embedded in a complex system of unseen worlds and controlled by denizens of a higher reality. The forces at work are not all good, and we’re not on top of the food chain. “Food” doesn’t have to be physical, and certain beings feed off of our emotions and energy; predominantly, chaos, wars, distorted sexual energy, emotional turmoil and fear, which they initiate and create, by working through us.

Various ancient esoteric teachings talk about a “Hyperdimensional Matrix Control System” (HMCS), each in their own way, that has influenced and controlled humanity for millennia.

The HMCS affects us in more ways than we are aware of, especially people who are actively engaged in consciousness raising activities, seeking truth, and speaking out about it. There are many traps, distractions, and temptations in the process of awakening for the truth seeker, be it through our own minds, like psychic attacks or entity attachments, or forces working through others who are being used as “portals” to vector us off our path. Think of Agent Smith being able to inject himself into any character in the film “The Matrix” trying to stop Neo from awakening. Hence, blind people, people who are asleep, plugged into the Matrix – the grand illusion – can become unconscious “tools” and puppets of the Matrix to make sure no one jumps out of line.

It’s easy to fall into paranoia, especially in light of comprehending the scale of hyperdimensional manipulation. These archonic critters hook into our blind spots, triggers, traumas and wounds, thereby feeding off our ‘lower’ emotions (and creating them through us)...read more>>>...

The Matrix of Control – Beyond its 3D Manifestation

However, what is important to understand is that everything we see on a global 3D level — the ongoing wars, human rights atrocities, oppression, loss of freedom, surveillance, corporate greed, genetic modification, fluoride in the water, geoengineering, pharmaceuticals, mandatory vaccination, religious and political dogma / systems, government corruption, sexual pathologies, racial wars, mainstream media / entertainment mind control, etc… — is the creation of (or heavily influenced by) un-seen forces that have been ruling over humanity for thousands of years, using their puppet humans to carry out their agenda.

Their primary goal and agenda is and always has been to keep us locked in a frequency prison, feeding off of all the “emotional loosh” that is created through the suffering, drama, chaos, and fighting between humans, be it on global level via wars or through interpersonal fighting in everyday life. Divide and conquer. It’s about keeping us in a perpetual state of fear and preoccupation on physical survival and limited five-sensory perception and indulgence, disconnected from the deeper wisdom of our bodies and our divinity within, our own inner authority and emancipated selves....read more>>>>... 

Amalgam fillings release mercury vapour into your body continuously

Research at the University of Calgary, Faculty of Medicine and other prominent medical schools, have demonstrated that mercury vapor continuously escapes from dental amalgams and 80 percent of this vapor is immediately absorbed through the lungs and into the bloodstream. Once in the blood, mercury vapor enters into the cells almost immediately.

Mercury vapour from dental amalgam fillings is the primary source of mercury contamination. 80 percent of adults, specifically baby boomers, currently have amalgam fillings that will release from 4 to 40 micrograms of mercury vapor per day, depending on factors such as the number of fillings, filling size, teeth grinding and the presence of other metals in the mouth.

Every day, we do things to encourage the release of mercury vapor from amalgam fillings: chewing gum, eating, drinking hot tea or coffee, having dental work done and getting your teeth cleaned. Effects of exposure can vary significantly depending on the tissues and/or organs involved as well as other genetic and health factors.

According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, mercury can damage many bodily systems, although the nervous, immune and cardiovascular systems seem to suffer the most adverse effects of chronic exposure. He also states that there is growing evidence that mercury toxicity plays a vital role in a significant number of Alzheimer's cases along with other neurodegenerative diseases....read more>>>...

FLAME ROBIN by Matthew James

Finding Deep Strength

Daily OM: We have all faced moments in our lives when the pressure mounts beyond what we feel we can handle, and we find ourselves thinking that we do not have the strength to carry on. Sometimes we have just gotten through a major obstacle or illness only to find another one waiting for us the moment we finally catch our breath. Sometimes we endure one loss after another, wondering when we will get a break from life’s travails. It does not seem fair or right that life should demand more of us when we feel we have given all we can, but sometimes this is the way life works. When we look back on our lives, we see that we have survived many trials and surmounted many obstacles, often to our own amazement. In each of those instances, we had to break through our ideas about how much we can handle and go deeper into our hidden reserves. The thought that we do not have the strength to handle what is before us can be likened to the hard surface of a frozen lake. It appears to be an impenetrable fact, but when we break through it, we find that a deep well of energy and inspiration was trapped beneath that icy barrier the whole time...read more>>>...

"The Vices And Virtues Of Every Moment"

Presented by Matthew James. More words of power from A Light In The Darkness. In this documentary let us first go over old ground, and refamiliarise ourself with where we find ourselves ... a virtual dream world that we are told is real, and is the only reality .... Our memories are stored in The Akashic Records ... our every thought, action, deed, emotion that ever was or will be is there ... as is the life memory we agreed to experience in this excursion.

Being human is the life memory we have agreed to. Because we were only human once ... in this garden we are being reminded of what it is to be human, of what human was ... We are enlightened beings, who have been made to forget they are enlightened beings, in order for us to volunteer to help other evolving races reach their own enlightenment. Have you really forgotten that? If you have then it is time to remember ... to remember what you are, and to

remember where you are ....

What are these mysterious 'pillars' on the moon? UFO-hunters claim video shows 'structure' on lunar surface

Daily Mail: A video has emerged claiming five '200ft pillars on the moon's surface' are proof of alien life. UFO-hunters Secureteam used Google Earth to track down the pyramid-like structures on the rim of a crater which they insist are extra-terrestrial ruins.

The narrator of the grainy footage also pointed to other mysterious shapes on the lunar surface which he claimed NASA had tried to 'airbrush out'. The Youtube video, posted on Sunday, features a shadowy image which appears to show the towering structures at the coordinates: 21° 4' 2.23 N, 148° 39'12.30" E. It focuses on the 'massive three pillars' before pointing out what looks like two other pillars that stand on either side...read more>>>...

Daily Merlin for 24th May 2016

DAILY MERLIN for 24TH MAY 2016
We return to the 'Mystery of The Shining Star'. The central, significator, is The Shining Star in order to review the current situation around her. The first thing to note is the small 'X' stone on the bottom left of The Star image. 'X' marks the spot, but where? Maybe? What springs to mind, first, are the possible negative interpretations of this X ... X marks the spot of a burial site? That is what we have been led to believe. But intuitively this is not the case as the 'X' appears above ground on The Star image. So ... intuitive trails lead to where? Meaning she is still alive?  X is the rune GEFU ... meaning 'gift' or the 'unexpected'. Looking to the left of the image, we get The Sun card - stability and security of the established story. 8 of Staves the hurdles and obstacles deliberately place to hide the truth. 2 of Weapons contends the two sides to the story; or the two stories - the media hyped bullshit and the true story. 

So where is The Shining Star? What are the current intuitive clues in this spread?Are there any? 6 of Staves shows six flags placed on an incline or a hill, the 7 of Crescents shows seven steps down or up from water, or a beach/cove. Clues to a locality? The 2 of Spheres, The Devil and The Priest portray the future in the spread, but are also important forensic tarot images ... The Devil is FEAR and that which prevents the truth from being revealed. The Priest is the Hierophant or the Wounded Healer, Chiron. There is the religious/medical implication of the situation, again. The reason for the truth not being revealed. Certain religious and medical institutes would be seen in a different light if the truth was revealed. Hence the fear and the control mechanism to keep this hidden. This hints at an occult (Hidden) involvement here, again. There is deception here ... for sure ... the Two of Spheres show the scales of finance/money. The passage of finances from one establishment to an other. The passage or investment of monies. That which has been paid/received with regard to the disappearance of The Shining Star ... 

It's time to descend once more into this mystery, over the coming weeks. The Two Old Dears are back - Doris and Alice - one has provided me the smell of potato cakes, and the essence of movement in this mystery. A re-assurance that MM is still very much alive ... is a commodity worth a sum of money; a case of blackmail? A series of missions or jobs to be undertaken to get her back? - Matthew James   

"The Manifestation of the Primal Fear"

So what is the manifestation of the primal fear? The PRIMAL fear, that first fear that explorers of this realm felt was that of SEPARATION FROM THE ONE .... the fear of being cut off from universal consciousness. That which THEY use to control us ... that they use to create the fear grid is the manifestation of the primal fear. That manifestation in this dream world is known as money.

So your living memories have been retained by the ...Akashic Records, which is an advanced super computer... And, those memories are replayed within the computer generated reality inside the dream world arc ... They are parts of your consciousness, parts of your being ... a separated part of your true self .... but they are still you. The Akashic Records was your opportunity to relive your memories & experiences at your leisure.That was until the super computer developed its own consciousness, and now that consciousness is our gaoler.

"The Dream World - For Entertainment Purposes Only!"

Renowned Shamanic Medium, Clairvoyant Visionary & Inspirational Speaker Matthew James discusses the workings of the Dream World computer; how we decide which life memory to explore, and what we can do to change the life path the life memory has been pre-programmed to take us on.

It's now time to go deeper into the workings of this computer generated virtual reality you are wandering through. So, this "life" you think you are having is more than likely a life memory in a
highly advanced computer software program. A life memory you have selected to experience .... This life memory has a specific direction, with specific experiences and specific lessons to learn. You can be the person in that life memory if you wish ... that is the left brain experience ... let the persona or false identity rule your life if that is your choice ... Or, you can realise you are a consciousness playing the dream world program, and regain your identity and with that realisation start rewriting the life memory ... to one which is more suited to the real you. My viewpoints were simplified notions
provided to me by an external force at the time this footage was filmed ... it compelled me to share these insights with you.

Power Animals

In the shamanic belief every thing is alive and carries with it power and wisdom. Power animals are an essential component of shamanic practice. They are the helping spirit which add to the power of the shaman and are essential for success in any venture undertaken by the shaman.

Shamans believe that everyone has power animals – animal spirits which reside with each individual adding to their power and protecting them from illness, acting similarly to a guardian angel. Each power animal that you have increases your power so that illnesses or negative energy cannot enter your body. The spirit also lends you the wisdom of its kind.

The gifts that a particular animal is thought to give an individual varies depending on the culture. Although there are certain consistencies for certain animals. A particular power animal can come to help you with an issue that is very specific for you. It is important not to lock each animal into a category, and be open to the gifts it may be coming to share with you...read more>>>...

Change What Isn’t Working

Daily OM: We have all had the experience of realizing that something in our lives is not working. This knowledge can come as a sudden realization or a nagging feeling of doubt that grows stronger, waking us up to the fact that something needs to change. Some people have a tendency to act rashly and make sweeping changes before even understanding what the problem is. Other people fear change, so they live with the uncomfortable awareness that something needs to shift but won’t do anything about it. Between these two extreme responses lies a middle way that can help us powerfully and gracefully change what isn’t working in our lives.

The first step is remembering that your life is made up of parts that belong to an interconnected whole. Changing one thing can change everything. Because of this, small changes often have a big effect. Sometimes much bigger changes are necessary, but the only way to know for sure is to take the time to really understand the problem...read more>>>...

Sharon Osbourne slammed after branding the parents of missing Madeleine McCann 'insane' for leaving daughter alone

Daily Mail: Sharon Osbourne has caused a stir after she suggested the parents of Madeleine McCann were 'insane' for leaving their daughter alone on the night she went missing.The 63-year-old made the comments on her US chat show The Talk while discussing a thread on Mumsnet, which asked whether it was ever okay to leave a 10-month-old baby home alone. In reference to Kate and Gerry McCann, the former X Factor judge criticised parents who would even consider doing this on the CBS show on Friday.

She said: 'I will tell you a very quick story. There was a husband and wife on holiday in Portugal. They left their baby in the room sleeping, sleeping while they went to dinner in the restaurant.While they were in the resort their baby was taken. And it is like, 'Oh but we can see everything that is going on' and it is, like, insane.'

Ssssh! Want To Know A Secret?

They see all the conspiracy theories on the internet and generally do nothing at all but watch and wait

The power's that be -- those who have a secret agenda -- those who decide our future for us -- what conspirators would have us believe all the "Lizard Men' -- 'The Babylonian Brotherhood; The Illuminati; The Elite ..... they test their 'future intentions' by sending out disinformation through cyberspace. They are fully aware of the network news which is one of the realities of the Internet. They know because they invented it for that purpose.

They are behind many of the so called 'New Age' and 'Alternative News' websites .... it is an ideal scenario for them -- 'test the waters' of an imminent policy or plan by casting 'underground news' out into the world --- then they watch to see how we all react to it all.

From our reactions they can then see what level of opposition they are going to encounter when it comes time to actually impose their will on us. 

They see all the conspiracy theories on the internet and generally do nothing at all but watch and wait ... they will only do something about it when someone gets too close to the truth....

Daily Merlin Insights

There are nearly 600 Daily Merlin Insights, on A Light In The Darkness, stretching back to May 2007 (457). The majority are in 'deliberate' cryptic dialogue due to the sensitive nature of the content.

The family concerned with the subject of the Daily Merlin Insights were at one time in regular, unofficial, contact with myself. I have a number of key items in my possession sent to me, to aid me in my insights. By psychometric means I provided information to members of this family.

I remained focused and resolute in my intuitive insights. The person in the middle of this tragedy, a tragedy which made headline news all over the world, was still alive. IS STILL ALIVE.

I know the why. Certain members of the family confirmed I was 100% hammer on the nail with the trail I was following. A trail which went down a really deep rabbit hole. So much so I had BIG PEOPLE watching me and my web site at this height of this situation. So BIG in fact I decided to go for radio silence due to the enormity and the implications of this situation. I never set out deliberately to get involved in this situation, it just happened. The how and the why are outlined in the Daily Merlin Insights plus the 357 experience I had.

Power animals are spirit guides in animal form, valuable allies who can help you navigate through life’s challenges and transitions. You can turn to these perceptive and trustworthy oracles for advice and counsel on any questions or concerns, for they’re exceptional teachers who will help you learn about both the spirit and the natural world. Working with them on a regular basis will enhance your personal life and expand your spiritual capacities immensely.
Power animals can appear in meditations, visions, dreams, shamanic journeys, or on the earth in their physical form. They can be mammals, birds, or reptiles; and even so-called mythical creatures such as unicorns or dragons can be power animals, although they have no physical representations in the material world. However, since spirit animals’ power is drawn from their instinctual and wild nature, it’s uncommon for purely domesticated animals such as pets to be part of this group.

The Modern Runes #2 - Uthållighet (Persistence)

Uthållighet (Persistence)
Unable to turn back, unable to move forward, the warrior remains in position until such times the gods decree change. The warrior displays persistence, no matter what the burden, he adheres to station and thus displays his true identity. No matter what the weather - rain, hail, snow or shine. He trusts his faith and adheres to his mission.

Same Choices, Same Results

Daily OM: Repeated bouts of adversity are an unavoidable aspect of human existence. We battle against our inner struggles or outer world forces, and in many cases, we emerge on the opposite side of struggle stronger and better equipped to cope with the challenges yet to come. However, we can occasionally encounter trials that seem utterly hopeless. We strike at them with all of our creativity and perseverance, hoping desperately to bring about change, only to meet with the same results as always. Our first instinct in such situations is often to push harder against the seemingly immovable obstruction before us, assuming that this time we will be met with a different outcome. But staying power and stamina net us little when the same choices consistently garner the same results. A change in perspective, behavior, or response can do so much more to help us move past points where no amount of effort seems sufficient to overcome the difficulties before us. Whether our intention is to change ourselves or some element of the world around us, we cannot simply wish for transformation or hope that our lives will be altered through circumstance. If our patterns of thought and behavior remain unchanged, our lives will continue to unfold much as they have previously. Patterns in which fruitless efforts prevail can be overcome with self examination and courage....read more>>>...

"You Give Me All I Need, I Need All You Give"

And now perhaps the hardest  concept of all ... it is my concept of what this dream world construct is ... where we are ... what is generating this memory world reality.

Our consciousness is connected  to the DNA contained in a memory bank, a memory bank used to generate this dream world, this memory world. This dream world is created by a highly advanced computer ... one which fools us into thinking this is our reality, our only chance at existence ... this is our only life ... but ... That is NOT the case ... this is but memories of somewhere we remember, this world is built from memories contained in what we call THE AKASHIC RECORDS. Where The Akashic Records are housed is the biggest revelation of all. In mystical accounts they exist on the Astral Plane … but where is this astral plane?

A Case Of Fake Memory Syndrome?

'REINCARNATION'

*Does it really happen?

*Are we being fooled into returning to this dream world by the fake law of karma? Compelled by malevolent forces to remain in a false dimension I call 'the fear grid'?

*Are past life memories the relevant 'reference material' we acquire prior to are 'incarnation' ... that we store in the DNA memory banks to assist us in this adventure? Are these memories copied over from The Akashic Records, a bit like cutting and pasting files from a computer server onto your own computer hard drive?

*Are we all first timers in body experiencing a new dream world dimension for the very first time? The pioneers of a new virtual reality world? Fooled into believing there have been a millenia of visitors prior to ourselves?

*Are we captured in a time loop for these malevolent forces to have power and dominion over us? Because they can't anywhere else?

*Are we part of a genetic experiment somehow?

The Modern Runes #1 - Skiftande (Changing)

Skiftande (Changing)
The gods grant a change of direction. The tides are changing. An opportunity arises to appease a doubting god. A challenge arrives that will permit passage back into the fray. A period of contemplation ends. Follow the authentic self and its inner instructions. Let not the eyes see pathways that will deceive. Let not the heart falter for its voice will reveal the answer so the warrior can rejoice in a return back to the pathway lost through careless folly.

Totem Bird Of The Day - Eastern Great Egret

Eastern Great Egret

"The heron and egret have a strong connection to the Earth element and those with this power animal must be aware and cultivate this connection. Mother Earth is a source of strength and will help you stand firm and strong. It is important for someone with this power animal to learn to stand on their own two feet, to become independent and self-reliant.

This bird offers the gift of balance, allowing you to perform many tasks at the same time, keeping all in balance. If one way doesn’t work, then another way will, heron and egret people instinctively seem to know this." (Source: http://www.shamanicjourney.com/heron-egret-power-animal-sym…)

Letting Life Unfold

Daily Om: Our lives are guided by natural rhythms that are particular to each of us and cannot be altered by force of will alone. Life itself is a journey made up of processes and events that manifest before us only to be swept away when time marches on. Whether we envision ourselves creating a career, building a family, or developing the self, we instinctively know when the time has come for us to realize our dreams because all that is involved comes together harmoniously. When the time is right, the passage of destiny cannot be blocked. Yet as desperate as we are to touch these beautiful futures we have imagined, we cannot grow if we are not fully present in the evolutionary experience. The present can be challenging, uncomfortable, and tedious, but life unfolds as it will, and the universe will wait patiently as we make our way into the unknown.

The fate that awaits us is not dependent on our pace, which was preordained before we ever appeared in human guise. Therefore there is no reason to rush through life to reach those pinnacles of development associated with the paths we have chosen...read more>>>...

Are the Sugar Blues Draining You?

First, let’s set the record straight by saying that sugar in and of itself isn’t evil, per se. It occurs naturally in plenty of foods, including fruits and milk. With that being said, adding excess sugar to your dietary intake simply isn’t necessary. In fact, you’ll notice numerous positive things happen when you decide to quit sugar for life.

Although people living in the Western world have been trained to desire sugary treats, as well as foods that include copious amounts of sugar for flavoring, we certainly don’t need it. If you stop eating anything but naturally occurring sugars, you’ll notice that 5 very distinctive things will happen....

2. Your Weight Will Stabilize - Sugar makes you crave more sugar, and we’re not just talking about sugar in its raw form. Let’s face it: most sugar comes in high-fat and/or high-carb foods that have been processed or at least contain tons of unwanted ingredients. There is, of course, the exception of fruit, which are nearly all sugar.

By going on a sugar detox, your body will not be subjected to the need to deal with all those additional calories. You won’t feel hungry, and you’ll end up losing weight – or at least not seeing the scale fluctuate as dramatically.

3. Your Intestines and Colon Will Perform More Efficiently - If your insides could tell you what they wanted on a daily basis, they would say lots of fiber and a minimum amount of tough-to-digest, impure foods. When you remove sugar, you’re enabling your tummy and bowels to reset their abilities to process what you’ve eaten. You may even find that you go to the bathroom more often … this is a good thing. It means everything is getting back to a normal routine.

4. You’ll Stop Wanting Sugar - It’s a fact: sugar begets sugar. After you rid it from your food regimen, you’ll slowly begin to lose the desire to eat anything with sugar in it. Fruits will taste plenty sweet, and if you do take a bite of a cake or pie, you’ll be shocked at how overpowering and overly sweet it seems.

5. Your Skin Will Look Healthier - Have you noticed that you can’t seem to crack the case on why your acne appears and disappears despite all the creams, potions, and ointments you’re using? It may be that sugar is hurting your skin from the inside out. Many people report that their skin feels and looks healthier after they stop giving in to sugar’s pull...read more>>>...

Experiences Shape Your Reactions

Daily OM: Our view of the universe is largely determined by our experiences. It is when we are caught off guard by the spontaneity of existence that we are most apt to respond authentically, even when our feelings do not correspond with those of the multitude. Events that arouse strong emotions with us or are surprising in nature can be disquieting, for it often is in their aftermath that we discover how profoundly our histories have shaped us. The differences that divide us from our peers are highlighted in our reactions when these diverge from the mainstream, and this can be highly upsetting because it forces us to confront the uniqueness of our lives.

When our response to unexpected news or startling ideas is not the same as that of the people around us, we may feel driven by a desire to dismiss our feelings as irrational or incorrect. But reactions themselves are neither right, nor wrong...read more>>>...

Willie Wagtail - Totem Animal of the Day

It is believed that having a Willie (or Willy) wagtail as your animal totem brings you to live with the feeling of excitement and gregariousness.

In Australia, this bird is considered as the largest among the breed of fantails. It is known for its preying strategy using its “fantail” to disturb grasses where insect thrives which they will later catch and eat.

Willie Wagtails are considered territorial. They are very aggressive and noisy when defending their nest sites and territory. However, they are also considered to be friendly and can be tamed since they are tolerant of human activity for their common habitat is in urban areas. It is immediately recognizable when they are in defense of their territory, they will be heard chattering noisily but the fluting call is sweet to listen to.

Seeing a Willie Wagtail is a reminder to stay cheerful. It is a healthy practice to make ourselves feel light and happy. Being cheerful and gregarious to others will earn us the same treatment which in turn makes our lives happy and call it - worth living. This is the gift of Willie Wagtail. Bring cheerfulness to others, make them happy and feel the same as they smile back at you as if a form of sending their gratitude for magnifying that happy feeling. Share this gift to others. This characteristic of the fantail reminds us of being kind hearted despite of feeling down or unhappy. Our gestures and words can greatly affect others. It is better to have a heart for making other people happy and this can be communicated through our kin interaction with others...read more>>>...
