In Thy Body Do I Dwell (The Physical Construct as Host)

The body is coming back into sight as a site for experimentation and as a target for a type of quasi-transcendence. Within the inverted world of the lesser reality, the physical body has always been recognized as the vehicle through which life is experienced. 

In other words, it is our avatar whilst in this realm. As such, it has always been a site of contestation.

In some religious circles, the body is seen as a material distraction from the Divine and its influence was seen as needing to be repressed and subjugated (which may include certain physical deprivations, including self-harm). Various religio-spiritual perspectives have regarded the physical body as an obstacle, a barrier, to a sense of the sacred. The other extreme is that the body is regarded as the ideal vehicle for experiencing the sensual and sensuous – it is a vessel for indulgence and decadent experience. Still, there has been no consensus reached over how to regard the vehicle of the human physical body....<<<Read More>>>...

Consciousness May Be Part of the Fabric of the Universe

 One of the most intriguing and controversial topics in philosophy and science is the nature and origin of consciousness. We humans are undoubtedly conscious beings, capable of experiencing, feeling, and reflecting on our own existence and the mysteries of reality.

But what is the source of this consciousness? Is it a product of our brains, or does it transcend the physical realm? Is it a unique property of living organisms, or is it a fundamental aspect of the universe that pervades all matter?

These questions were the focus of a recent workshop at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, where philosophers and physicists gathered to discuss panpsychism, the view that consciousness is not a rare or emergent phenomenon, but a basic and universal feature of reality that is present in every particle and system.

According to panpsychism, consciousness is not something that arises from complex arrangements of matter, but something that is inherent to matter itself. It is a fundamental property of reality, like mass or charge, that has always existed and is woven into the very fabric of the universe....<<<Read More>>>...

 

Electric Fire: Astrology Forecast April 2nd – 9th

As the first of the annual 3 Spiritual Festivals approaches on April 6, the cycle of the year renews itself in Aries. In the Northern Hemisphere the first Full Moon of Spring marks the solar Aries Festival when Light returns to Earth. As poet Dylan Thomas wrote so beautifully, this is “the force that through the green fuse drives the flower.” Easter/Oestre is celebrated by many as a time of new hope, new life- a resurrection of the spirit.

Esoterically, Aries-the 1st sign- working on the 1st ray of Will and Power-manifests the Impulse of Electric Fire, destroying the past, clearing the way for the future, establishing a new pattern for the following twelve months.

The Full Moon at 16° Libra arrives on Thursday, April 6th. The Aries/Libra Polarity is the Relationship Axis, where Aries represents Self and Libra represents the Other. Aries is about self-assertion, Libra about compromise. This polarity is where the deeply personal interfaces with the entirely impersonal, where you, with your need to be loved, welcomed and accepted, encounter others with completely different agendas.

Expect relationship epiphanies, wake up calls and relationship dramas as Awakener Uranus aspects both the Sun and Moon as Jupiter and Chiron conjunct the Sun....<<<Read More>>>...

 

The Law of Resonance vs. Law of Attraction : Understanding the Key Differences for Manifestation

Have you ever heard of the Law of Resonance (sometimes called the Law of Vibration) and the Law of Attraction? These two concepts are often mentioned when it comes to manifestation and achieving one’s desires, but they are not the same thing. They are subtly – but importantly – different in how they work and what they require of you.

Both laws are based on the concept that like attracts like but it’s important to understand the difference if you want to use either – or both – of these laws to manifest the life of your dreams.

When it comes to manifestation, the Law of Resonance is the primary law; the Law of Attraction is a secondary law that arises from the Law of Resonance....<<<Read More>>>...

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY DRILLED INTO AN ICE WALL NEAR FIRMAMENT IN THE 60s?

There are a lot of speculations as to what all they are doing in Antarctica beyond simply hiding access to the best proof of creation, so I wanted to share this short comment to shed some light onto one possibility. The Father knew what the foolish powers of darkness would be up to when He desinged the great expanse, so I know there would be barriers and preventative measures in place to stop them as seen with the tower of Babel and Operation Fishbowl. I wasn't shocked to find out they may have tried around the same time operation fishbowl was going on to drill into walls surrounding this expanse or the expanse itself. I do not know the person who made the comment, so I can't say that they were for sure stationed in Antarctica, but would love to track them down if possible. If anyone is able to find them, please let me know.

A Word on "Intuition"

 Intuition is an incredible resource and gift that we have been given to help us live our best life. Unfortunately, not many people know what it is or how to use it. The word intuition means “in to you” in Latin. Florence Scovel, a theologian, once said, “Intuition is the spiritual faculty that doesn't explain; it seemingly points the way.” It’s also been said that intuition is your divine Spirit talking to you. If you will stop for a moment and acknowledge this, you will begin to realize the incredible perspective you have at your fingertips. You have this very amazing power! And you don’t even have to get any special training to start using it. All you need to do is raise your awareness about it and set your intention to harness it.

Intuitive messages range from an inkling to a strong sign or message. Your inner self is persistent and consistent. It will keep trying to get your attention until you finally wise up! An inkling is like a glimmer or passing feeling/ thought that comes from somewhere inside and usually proceeds a hunch or intuitive message. A “hunch” is accurate information from a higher intelligence; therefore, you can rely on it. An intuitive message ranges from hearing actual words, seeing a clear picture, or a deep inner knowing. Some people experience intuition as a feeling, others a gut reaction, others will see images or have a dream, others hear an actual message. Become familiar with how your inner self communicates with you.

The best ways to get in touch with your intuition are...<<<Read More>>>....

A Word on "Mars In Retrograde"

 Mars is the planet of war, aggression, force, action, energy, and masculinity. He changes sign every six to seven weeks so. Mars also goes retrograde every two years for about 2-2/12 months. And in 2022, Mars will be retrograde from 30th October 2021 to 12th January 2023, in Gemini. There could be arguments and forceful communications more so than usual during this time.

There is also a ‘shadow period’ commencing a few weeks before and after these dates. Mars has an affinity with the masculine yang energy, and things can get tense when he’s retrograde. Male energies play up, strut about, and generally want to show how big and powerful they are. This goes for countries and corporations as well. At the very least, there are internalised changes. You may need to find a different way of dealing with difficult people during the retrograde period. Many people are affected to some extent, but you could be more strongly affected if you have Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces in your chart.

Mars in Gemini normally brings dramatic changes in our thinking! We could have more energy for intellectual reasoning. Thoughts can dart across our mental landscape with great enthusiasm! Write them down… think, reason and plan but don’t overdo it! However, in retrograde Mars things can be much slower, and our clarity of thought is patchy, to say the least! You may alternate between moments of great clarity and then confusion, not knowing what to do. Find the right balance for you between thinking, doing, and being....<<<Read More>>>...

Why is Silence Deafening?

 One of our greatest fears is silence.

We run from it: in our lounge-rooms, in our cars, in our workplaces, in our conversations.

In every place, you will notice our habit of drowning out the dreaded silence with noise and stimulation.


It’s like the grim reaper or a dark omen that follows us around eternally.

Many of us don’t realize it.

Many of us live under a veil of oblivion, not realizing how afraid we are to be in silence and stillness with ourselves.

We will turn up our stereos. We’ll turn on our music or phones. We’ll turn on the radio or the TV.

We will find anything to fill that void of emptiness.

And constantly, we’ll pollute ourselves with noise and stimulants, that numb our minds so that we live our worlds in a thoughtless dream-like state.

Silence makes us uncomfortable.

We may even argue that it bores us to embrace that silence. But what really bothers us is ourselves: we don’t know what to do with ourselves, or what to think, or even who we are.

Eventually, we find that it’s not the silence we’re uncomfortable with, but ourselves....<<<Read More>>>...

The End Of The Kali Yuga In 2025: Unravelling The Mysteries Of The Yuga Cycle

[Daily OM]: A number of ancient cultures believed in a Cycle of World Ages in which we gradually descend from a state of spiritual perfection and material abundance to one of ignorance and scarcity. In ancient India, this was called the Yuga Cycle. The Yuga Cycle doctrine tells us that we are now living in the Kali Yuga; the age of darkness, when moral virtue and mental capabilities reach their lowest point in the cycle.

The Mahabharata describes the Kali Yuga as the period when the “World Soul” is Black in hue; only one quarter of virtue remains, which slowly dwindles to zero at the end of the Kali Yuga. Men turn to wickedness; disease, lethargy, anger, natural calamities, anguish and fear of scarcity dominate. Penance, sacrifices and religious observances fall into disuse. All creatures degenerate. Change passes over all things, without exception.

The Kali Yuga (Iron Age) was preceded by three other Yugas: Satya or Krita Yuga (Golden Age), Treta Yuga (Silver Age) and the Dwapara Yuga (Bronze Age). In the Mahabharata, Hanuman gives the following description of the Yuga Cycle to the Pandava prince Bhima...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

The Cure for Fear and Key to Freedom in 2021

[Wake Up World]: Nature is a power wilder and more destructive than anything we could ever conjure up as humans. She is greater than any virus, greater than any vaccine, she is the force beyond time sweeping over the Earth as we cycle endlessly through the panic and security of the illusions we create that we are controlling any of it. She is the eternal force that remains standing through the crumbling of old and rebirth of new civilizations. When immersed within nature, you connect with a space outside of time, which brings you out of your mind into the eternal present where fear simply cannot exist. Her sheer magnitude overtakes any sense you have of your own control over life – and that surrender is an awakening into pure freedom and bliss.

When we live away from nature, we begin creating prisons in our mind to protect ourselves from the unknown. We start to think that we need to control the world somehow, rather than trust in its ever-unfolding process that is greater than we are.

It is ecstatic to realize in Nature that you do not need to live in fear of losing your control in the world – because it’s impossible anyway. Any semblance of control we have in the world is a complete illusion. Nature brings us back to the source of our life within, which was an unbelievable miracle to begin with. Spending time here, away from cities, you remember what an unfathomably precious gift it is to even be alive and conscious. You start to awaken to the miracle of your own existence, and surrender to the fact that it can go at any moment.

With this realization, you suddenly begin to think and feel in new ways about this life you’re so desperate to protect with masks and vaccines. You start to realize that every day is a miraculous gift, and there is nothing to “wait for” because this miracle is happening now. You start to understand the urgency of living life fully in each moment, and the ridiculousness of waiting for some “normalcy” to return to the world, before you can enjoy your life again. Of course you want to protect your life and stay healthy – and you do so not from a place of fear, but from a deep reverence and gratitude for living....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

How to Open Your Third Eye and Never Be Fooled Again

[Wake Up World]: Those who are conscious cannot be fooled. Opening your third eye visionary center blows open your narrow reality tunnel and shows you the wider horizon of Reality. Once you have activated the full spectrum of what your pineal gland can do, you will never be fooled again.

All is not as it seems. Be vigilant or you may end up unknowingly embracing the illusions around you, unable to become truly liberated from control. There is a great deal of deception these days, and many who believe themselves to be “woke” or “conscious” are showing themselves to still be a far cry away from being so. If principles are not kept universal, such as increased sovereignty, reduced suffering, and so on, then we are deceiving ourselves to be something we are not.

Now, more than ever, it has become clear who lacks expanded perception and who has done the inner work to open their third eye and avoid being fooled, no matter what. Once that door is opened, no amount of fear or misrepresentation of reality can close it. Unfortunately, what recent events have shown us is that a sizable part of the collective consciousness is still learning the basics of conscious awareness.

On the bright side, there are a few ways to speed up the process of opening your third eye and never being fooled again. As long as you have the intention of doing so, the rest should come more easily for you.

Here are some of the essential components of a wide-open third eye...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

Global Games That Tyrants Play – and People Who Agree to be Played With

[Waking Times]: Once upon a time, in a state of total forgetfulness of what’s right and what’s wrong, what’s good and what’s evil, in an unknown place, on a planet (that rumor has it, at some point got quarantined from the rest of the glorious multiverse for eons),- in that very place, the descendants of the Source, in a state of deep trance put on the masks of victimhood and covered themselves with the garments made of pure fear, prescribed to them mostly by their own Unawareness.

On the physical level, the masks and garments were created, and later mandated by some stray tyrants who were on a run from the Holy Oneness Itself and who lost the ability to create on their own. So, manipulation and exploitation of creative abilities and creation of other Beings was their only choice, – or so they thought. Eventually, these manipulators got quarantined and stuck (locked up) on the very same planet, or the entire planet with everything on it got quarantined because of them, – nobody knows for sure any more which came first. But back to the iniquitous incident.

The stray tyrants realised that on this convenient for them planet they had found the ultimate refuge and a playground for all sorts of absurdities. Besides, the majority of other evolving species in all other places recognized the predicament of these manipulators and the nature of their activities right away and, in no uncertain terms, responded to the tyrants and their tricks with a “no” that could not be violated. In other words, nobody else wanted these manipulators across all known to them galaxies and dimensions. However, the species on this planet were not quite self-aware and unified on the collective level yet, hence the manipulators decided to take the chance. And so, there were these tyrants portraying themselves as somebody more and bigger than they actually were, and there was a promising evolving species with great potential who was made believe they were less and smaller than they really were. A match made in…., on Earth, in fact....<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...

 

How to Avoid Turning Freedom Into Enslavement

[Wake Up World]: There’s a little something called free will. It means we have sovereignty over what we think, say, and do. Thoughts, words, and actions are the mechanisms by which we interact with, shape, and create reality. Anything we do, is due to our free will initiating an action. Yes, even when we think it’s not.

How can that be?

Agreements. We are continuously making decisions. There is always a choice being made because there is always movement of energy. We are always agreeing to some action being taken, whether its a conscious or unconscious agreement. By unconscious, I mean one which is occurring below the normal level of awareness. The subconscious mind makes decisions for us a whopping 90% of the time.

Besides basic autonomic functions your body does for you, in its incredible intelligence, there are other ‘programs’ driving behavior and decisions. These get imprinted within the subconscious after first appearing in the conscious. That is why it’s important to be aware of what we are exposing ourselves to in waking life.

A Look at Claircognizance

Claircognizance is the ability for a person to acquire psychic knowledge without knowing how or why he or she knew it. The user can gain information about a person, object, place, or event through intrinsic knowledge, as in it just "comes to" the user's mind. 

Claircognizance means clear-knowing. It is that you know something, and (often) without memory of how you got to know it or why you know it. It's just a simple fact that you know and that you can't deny it (with some things). Though it can be very hard to get confident on things that aren't so clearly undeniable...read more>>>... 

How do you make a hologram?

You make a hologram by reflecting a laser beam off the object you want to capture. In fact, you split the laser beam into two separate halves by shining it through a half-mirror (a piece of glass coated with a thin layer of silver so half the laser light is reflected and half passes through—sometimes called a semi-silvered mirror). One half of the beam bounces off a mirror, hits the object, and reflects onto the photographic plate inside which the hologram will be created. This is called the object beam. The other half of the beam bounces off another mirror and hits the same photographic plate. This is called the reference beam. A hologram forms where the two beams meet up in the plate.(Explain That Stuff)

Healing Your Sole

Daily OM: Our feet are home to literally thousands of nerve endings and almost seventy acupuncture points, which is why foot reflexology is so effective. By massaging and stimulating specific areas on the soles of our feet, we can provide general support for our entire body, improve sleep patterns, increase physical and mental wellbeing and also alleviate chronic conditions such as sinusitis and digestive upset. Although it is wonderful to work with an experienced foot reflexologist whenever possible, we can also develop a practice of treating ourselves to a self-reflexology treatment if we take some time for this purpose before we begin our day or in the evening to relax before going to bed.... read more>>>...

A Word On 'Binaural Beats'

Monroe Institute: The sensation of auditory binaural beats occurs when two coherent sounds of nearly similar frequencies are presented one to each ear with stereo headphones or speakers.

The brain integrates the two signals, producing a sensation of a third sound called the binaural beat. For example, if a frequency of 100 Hz is played in one ear and 107 Hz is played in the other ear, a binaural beat of 7 Hz is created by the brain.

Brain waves match or “follow” the binaural beat. If
the binaural beat is 7 Hz, an increase in brain waves of 7
Hz occurs. Binaural beats originate in the brainstem's superior olivary nucleus, the site of contralateral integration of auditory input. The binaural beat is neurologically conveyed to the reticular formation which uses neurotransmitters to initiate changes in brainwave activity.

Brain Waves & Consciousness
Beta (13-26 Hz) Alert concentration and problem-solving
Alpha (8-13 Hz) Alert relaxation
Theta (4-7 Hz) Deep relaxation and increased learning
Delta (1-3 Hz) Deep sleep ... read more>>>...

The Lady Of The Lake

This mysterious female gave Arthur his sword, Excalibur. She stole Lancelot when he was a child and cured him when he went mad. She may be a Celtic lake divinity in origin, perhaps of the same kind as the Gwagged Annwn - lake fairies in modern Welsh folklore. In Ulrich, the fairy who raised Lancelot is the mother of Mabuz. As Mabuz is probably identical with the Celtic god Mabon, it would seem that the fairy must be Morgan Le Fay who was, earlier, Mabon's mother. Matrona. A lady of the lake, perhaps a different one, was killed by Balin.

Vivien may very well have been the Lady of the Lake in the Arthurian Legends and stories. Vivien, sometimes called Nineve, Nimue, Niniane, etc., is best known as the woman who sealed Merlin in a cave or a tree. Despite foreseeing his fate, Merlin was unable to prevent being captivated and captured by the woman Richard Wilbur has called "a creature to bewitch a sorcerer." Vivien is an ambiguous character. In Malory, for example, even though Nyneve, who is one of the Ladies of the Lake, deprives Arthur of Merlin's service, she rescues him twice, first by saving him from Accolon who has been given Excalibur by Morgan le Fay to use against Arthur, and then by preventing him from donning the destructive cloak sent to him by Morgan. She also uses her enchantments to punish Ettarde for her mistreatment of Pelleas. In the end she and Pelleas "lovede togedyrs duryng their lyfe." (King Arthurs Knights)

Discovery of quantum vibrations inside brain neurons supports controversial theory of consciousness

S.O.T.T: The recent discovery of quantum vibrations inside neurons in the brain supports a controversial theory of consciousness. If correct, it might lead to new treatments for many different conditions, it is claimed in a new review of the evidence by Hameroff and Penrose (2013). The theory - which implies the brain is connected to the universe at a quantum level - was first proposed in the 1990s, but it suffered extensive criticism.

One major point against it was that the brain was thought to be too "warm, wet and noisy" for coherent quantum processes. Recent evidence, though, from researchers led by Anirban Bandyopadhyay has found the proposed quantum vibrations inside microtubules within brain neurons. These microtubules are components of cell scaffolding - they help provide our cells with their structure - that are around 25µm in length.

Other research has also found evidence of quantum coherence in living cells. It has been found in our sense of smell, in the parts of bird's brains responsible for navigation and in plant photosynthesis...read more>>>...
