"Viracochas"

There are many enigmatic relics belonging to the famous Europide population (part of Cro-Magnon, sometimes having the Brünn's or Predmost's features) that existed in South America (Eastern region), almost reaching the Western Australian shore, and covering the Polinesian islands and the lands that sank 10 -12,000 years ago. We're talking about the population which was called by the Aymaras Indians "Viracochas" ("the white man with red beard") and who called themselves, "The Sons of the Sun".

Viracochas' knowledge was superior to the Inka or Maya. To the "sons of the sun" was attributed the construction of the fortresses of Tiahuanaco, Sacsayhuaman and Cerra Gallan. When the Spanish came to conquer South America, the Indians thought the Spaniards were the grandchildren of Viracochas. They were claiming that Viracochas came from the ocean and they were ruled by someone called Quetzalcoatl (by the Aztecs), Kukulkan (by the Mayas), Amalivaka (by the Tamanacs), Manco-Capac (by the Inkas), Viracocha (by the Aymaras). But all of them described him similarly: a tall white man, blue eyed, with long blond-reddish hair and beard.

They were said to had built the fortresses of Tiahuanaco, Sacsayhuaman, Cerra Gallan ("the fortresses of the flying men") even before the end of the Würm period, when the ice melted (10,000 B.C.)

In 1930, 800 skeletons were found in the North part of Mexico. They were European Homo Sapiens Fossilis, but 2.44 meters tall. At Montezuma King's court, the conquistadores (Cortez expedition) discovered a white woman belonging to the tribes who always attacked the Northern territories of the state.

Everton 1-1 Man Utd

Source: BBC Sport

Marouane Fellaini's header capped a fine recovery by Everton and earned a point against Manchester United.

United dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead when Darren Fletcher ran onto Ryan Giggs' pass to slot home after 22 minutes. Everton keeper Tim Howard kept his side in the game until Fellaini rose to head in Phil Neville's cross.

Yakubu then had a shot turned on to the post by United keeper Edwin van der Sar to deny Everton an unlikely win.

'Worst financial crisis in human history': Bank boss's warning as pound suffers biggest fall for 37 years

Source: Daily Mail

Consumers face higher shop prices, dearer fuel and more expensive holidays after the pound slumped yesterday.

Sterling took a hammering as economic figures showed the UK approaching full-blown recession.

Bank of England deputy governor Charlie Bean warned that the pain is just beginning, calling the situation the 'largest financial crisis of its kind in human history'. The plunge was prompted by the worst set of UK growth figures for 18 years, recording the first time that the economy has officially contracted since 1992. The Office for National Statistics reported UK output dropping 0.5 per cent between July and September. Another fall in the final three months of the year would propel Britain into the first official recession since the days of John Major.

Tory leader David Cameron declared: 'This is the day the recession became real. We have had ten years of a Government saying no more boom and bust. We have had ten years of a Government not putting aside money for a rainy day. Well, that rainy day has now come.'

At one stage, the pound was worth as little as $1.52, prompting speculation that the UK was on the brink of a currency crisis. Although it later rallied, it has lost a quarter of its value against the dollar over the past year.

Does homeopathy work?

Many ridicule homeopathy out of serious consideration as a clinical practice, sometimes resorting to unscientific, unbalanced and unrefereed editorial diatribe. One of the main reasons concerning this disbelief in the efficacy of homeopathy lies in the difficulty in understanding how it might work. If an acceptable theory was available then more people would consider it more seriously. However, it is difficult at present to sustain a theory as to why a truly infinitely diluted aqueous solution, consisting of just H2O molecules, should retain any difference from any other such solution. It is even more difficult to put forward a working hypothesis as to how small quantities of such 'solutions' can act to elicit a specific response when confronted with large amounts of complex solution in a subject. A major problem in this area is that, without a testable hypothesis for the generally acknowledged potency of homeopathy, there is a growing possibility of others making fraudulent claims in related areas, as perhaps evidenced by the increasing use of the internet to advertise 'healthy' water concentrates using dubious (sometimes published but irreproducible) scientific and spiritual evidence.

Create Time For Self Compassion

Source: Daily OM

During those times when our lives are filled with what seems to be constant change and growth, it is important to remember that we need to be gentle with ourselves. Since it can be easy to use our energy to keep up with the momentum of our lives, we may not be aware of the fact that we are much more likely to run ourselves down. When things seem to be moving quickly, it is especially essential that we make a point to slow down and be gentle with ourselves.

It might be difficult to notice what is happening to us for we may be so caught up in the whirlwind of our lives that we lose sight of the direction in which things are heading. Being gentle with ourselves doesn’t mean that we don’t accomplish things. Instead it means that we honor ourselves on an ongoing basis and take care of the needs of our bodies.

This means different things to different people. For instance, it could mean having a session with a healer; taking a remedy, herbs, or vitamins; or getting extra sleep. Putting our energy into ourselves in this way helps create space for a more positive, loving, and accepting view of our lives. By setting the intention to do so, we will be more cognizant of our energy levels on a daily basis and more able to replenish them as needed. The more we are able to treat our bodies with gentleness, the more tenderness and compassion we will call forth into our lives. Learning to understand and pay attention to what our self needs will in turn allow us to fill our lives with unlimited loving and healing energy and to truly take care of the things that mean the most to us

THIS amazing image of a mammoth spider devouring a bird was taken in the backyard of a property near Cairns here in Australia. The image, which is being cirulated via email worldwide, is real, according to wildlife experts. The photo, believed to have been taken earlier this week, shows the spider clenching its legs around a lifeless bird trapped in a web at a property near Atherton, west of Cairns.

Thought for the Day

Neither the past or future has any reality separate from the present moment, and yet we act as if both are real.

Look into the heart of your own immediate experience, and you will see without a doubt, that only the NOW is real, all else is an illusion in your mind.

This is the only path to enlightenment.

The Light coming out of the Darkness

First Song

I The dark Chaos had come out as a confused mass from the depth of theNothing, on the first sound of the almighty Word, and one would have saidthat disorder made it, and that it could not be the work of a God, formlessas it was. All things in it were in a deep rest, and the elements in itwere confused, because the divine Spirit did not yet distinguish them.

II Who could now tell in which way the Heavens, the Earth and the Sea havebeen formed so light in themselves, and so vast, taking into account theirwide spread? Who could explain how the Sun and the Moon have received themovement and the light, and how everything we see down here, has its formand its being?Who could eventually understand how every thing has received its owndenomination, has been animated by its proper spirit, and while coming outof the impure and unordered mass of the Chaos, has been regulated by a law,a quantity and a measure?

III O you, children and imitators of the divine Hermes, to whom the science ofyour father showed the nature discovered, only you, only you know how thisimmortal hand has formed the Earth and the Heavens out of this formlessmass of the Chaos; since your Great Work shows clearly that God has createdall things in the same way that your Philosophical Elixir is made.

IV But it does not belong to my weak pen to draw such a great picture; I amonly a puny child of the Art, without any experience. It is not that yoursavant writings didn¹t make me perceive the real goal one should go for,nor that I don¹t know this Ilias, which has in it all we need, as well asthis admirable composite through which you could bring the virtue of theelements from power to act.

V It's not that I do not know your secret Mercury, which is no other than aliving, universal and innate spirit, which, in the form of airy vapour,comes down ceaselessly from heaven to earth in order to fill its porousbelly, which then is born in the middle of impure sulphurs, and whilegrowing, changes nature from volatile to fixed, giving itself the form of aradical fluid.

VI It is not that I do not know yet, that if our oval Vessel is not sealed byWinter, it will never be able to keep the precious vapour, and that ourbeautiful child will die at birth, if it is not promptly rescued by anindustrious hand and by the eyes of a lynx, since otherwise it will not beable to feed on its first humour, to the example of man, who, after feedingon impure blood in the mother's womb, lives on milk when he comes on earth.

VII Even if I know all these things, I do not dare yet to prove them toyou, the errors of others always making me incertain. But if you are moretouched by pity than by envy, dare to remove from my mind all doubts whichembarass it, and if I can be happy enough to explain distinctly in my booksall which concerns your magistry, make, I conjure you, that I have from youas an answer: Work hard, since you know what has to be known.

Alchemy Imagery

SA01. Hermes Trismegistus

The All Seeing Eye

The All-Seeing Eye is a single human eye surrounded by radiating beams of light. It is found in many eras and cultures. It is generally a symbol of the watchful and protective power of the Supreme Being, especially when that entity is considered in a solar or heavenly context.

It appears on the Great Seal of the United States, and is among the many beautiful symbols of Freemasonry, where it represents the Great Architect of the Universe.

It is also known as the Eye of God.

In regions where the evil eye belief occurs, the All-Seeing Eye is one of many forms of reflective eye-charm used as apotropaic talismans against the this danger. In its specifically protective role, the All-Seeing Eye appears on at least one North American Good Luck Coin to guard the bearer from evil.

The Mexican ojo de venado charm, an ancient shamanic amulet made from a psychedelic legume seed is given an eye-related name: ojo de venado means Deer Eye.

The Caduceus

Caduceus is a winged staff with two snakes wrapped around it. It was an ancient astrological symbol of commerce and is associated with the Greek god Hermes, the messenger for the gods, conductor of the dead and protector of merchants and thieves. It was originally a herald's staff, sometimes with wings, with two white ribbons attached. The ribbons eventually evolved into snakes in the figure-eight shape.

The number eight is important to the practitioners of judicial astrology.In some cases, depictions of the Greek kerykeion can be radically different from that of the traditional caduceus. These representations will feature the two snakes atop the wand (rod), crossed to create a circle with the heads of the snakes resembling "horns." In this form, it looks remarkably similar to the symbol for the planet Mercury - while Mercury the god is the Roman name for Hermes, who carries the kerykeion, or caduceus.

In some cases, depictions of the Greek kerykeion can be radically different from that of the traditional caduceus (as in the picture at right). These representations will feature the two snakes atop the wand (rod), crossed to create a circle with the heads of the snakes resembling "horns." In this form, it looks remarkably similar to the symbol for the planet Mercury - while Mercury the god is the Roman name for Hermes, who carries the kerykeion, or caduceus.

In the seventh century, the caduceus came to be associated with a precursor of medicine, based on the Hermetic astrological principles of using the planets and stars to heal the sick.

The symbol's origins are thought to date to as early as 2600 BC in Mesopotamia, and there are several references to a caduceus-like symbol in the Bible, namely in Numbers 21:4­9, and 2 Kings 18:4. During the Exodus, Moses was instructed by God to fashion a pole upon which he was to position a serpent made of bronze; when looked upon, this Nehushtan, as it was called in Hebrew, would spare the lives of the Israelites stricken by venomous snake bites.

The intent was that people would look upward and be reminded to pray to God, but eventually the meaning was forgotten and this symbol was apparently worshiped by the Hebrew people until the reign of Hezekiah as described in 2 Kings 18:4.Walter Burkert has two figures in his book which show a rod with two intertwined snakes winding around a central axis from Mesopotamia in 2200 BC, and a similar image from Crete in 700 BC.

It was used by the astrologer priests in the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient Greece, and has been associated with the Gnostic Corpus Hermeticum and Kundalini Yoga, where it is thought to be a symbolic representation of the "subtle" nerve channels the "ida", "pingala", and "sushumna" described in yogic kundalini physiology.

The Real McCann Scandal

You may have missed it: at the High Court in London on 15 October, Express Newspapers agreed to pay £375,000 in libel damages to the so-called "Tapas Seven", the friends of Kate and Gerry McCann who were with the couple in Portugal when Madeleine McCann disappeared.

This development did not receive much coverage. There were three sentences in the Sun on page 21, for example, and just a little more in the Daily Mirror on page 20. In the Daily Express itself you might easily have failed to spot the apology that was part of the settlement, as the two paragraphs in the top corner of page five were a little lost beside the bold headline blaring out across the rest of the spread: "Let the jobless lag lofts, says Brown". The Tapas Seven victory, it seems, was treated as a minor footnote to a burned-out story; few people were likely to be interested.

Well, they ought to be interested, because the McCann case was the greatest scandal in our news media in at least a decade - an outrage far worse than the Andrew Gilligan "sexed-up dossier" affair of 2003 - and those responsible are now slinking away almost unpunished. They are escaping, moreover, by the most shameful of means. The editors and proprietors of the papers responsible for the great balloon of speculative nonsense that was the McCann story had the power to kill off discussion of what went wrong in the press, and they used it. When their balloon burst, they simply began pretending it had never existed.

Not one editor and, so far as I know, not one reporter has lost his or her job or even faced formal reprimand as a result of the McCann coverage. There has been no serious inquest in the industry and no organised attempt to establish what went wrong, while no measures have been taken to prevent a repetition. Where there have been consequences, as with the Tapas Seven, they have come from outside and been reported to the public with the most grudging economy.

This is a remarkable evasion of responsibility by an industry which is the first to boast of its own importance to a healthy democracy, and it is all the more unpalatable when you consider the standards this same industry expects of others.

HGH

HGH is a substance naturally secreted by the pituitary gland (the "Third Eye/6th Chakra"), but levels start dropping around age 30. It is believed supplementing it in conjunction with meditation (with a doctor's permission and in a safe form - i.e., not derived from human or animal sources) could help activate the spiritual centers (plexuses/chakras).

Since meditation techniques are related to the awakening of this "master gland"/sixth center, it can be surmised that HGH human growth hormone could also be spiritually beneficial overall for meditators, and stimulate all the Kundalini related centers. For more info, see the HGH-MD or HGH human growth hormone .org websites, to learn more about it, and recommendations of where to order it.

Tarot Card of the Day

The Lord of Abundance is a warm and joyous card, which indicates a rare and precious type of love - a love which, once experienced, reminds us of the richness of shared emotion and commitment. It is also a card which refers to the wellspring of fertility, whether spiritual or material. Here we see the first seeds sown of a bright and bountiful harvest. Accordingly, the card will sometimes come up to indicate high days of celebration - like weddings or other intimate celebrations of love. The emotional quality represented by this card is deep and unusual - indicating the love felt not only by lovers, but also the love between close friends, or family. These relationships are gifts, which need to be cared for with great respect and gratitude.

The Lord of Abundance offers one word of warning - this type of love cannot be created, nor engineered. When it occurs in our lives we are lucky and blessed. Some people spend a lifetime looking for such depth of emotion. And sometimes, people try to pretend it exists where it does not. So when you raise this card in a reading be aware that you are fortunate indeed!

Travelling Companions

Source: Daily OM

As they swoop, drift, and glide, inscribing magnificent patterns across the sky, birds are serene displays of grace and beauty. Long a source of inspiration, birds can be messengers from the spirit realm, or a symbol of the human soul, as they cast off their earthly mooring and soar heavenward. An upturned wing, a graceful flutter, all so effortless and free... More magnificent still is the inspiring sight of birds migrating, progressing steadily across the horizon in a solid V formation that is a singular pattern too unique to be mere chance.

Pushing steadily forward, this aerodynamic V reduces air resistance for the whole flock. With wings moving in harmony, the feathered group continues its course across the sky, covering more ground together in community than as individuals. When the bird at the front gets tired, she will move to the rear of the formation where the wind drag is lowest, and a more rested bird can take her place.

By learning from the example of our winged guides, all of us can feel empowered to take on daring challenges as we chart adventurous courses. Feel the strength of others moving alongside you, as their presence lends power to your wings during this journey across the sky of life. When buffeted by unexpected gusts, we can choose to find refuge in the loving shelter of friends and family. We may even marvel as an otherwise difficult day passes by like a swift wind, as a kindred spirit charts a way for us through the clouds and rain ahead. If your wings begin to ache on your journey, look around for somebody else to fly at the front for a while. All of us move faster when we move together. Let your ego drop earthwards as we all soar ever higher.

An Insight Into The Now

Daily Merlin Insight for Thursday 23rd October 2008
Using Merlin Tarot
'An insight gazing into the NOW situation with regard to Madeleine McCann. The images to act as indications of where MM currently resides and what is around her at this time.

Gaining a sense of her essence at this time, to act as a bearing & focus. An energy to which awareness is 'sent' in order to recover a sense of what is currenty occurring.

The Merlin Tarot cards split into three seperate piles. Almost as always during previous DMI's. The middle pile chosen ... which represents the middle path to be wandered.

The image of The Star is within this middle pile. It was sighted at the bottom of the pile. A sense of being on the right trail.

The cards further split into three piles and the pile on the right hand side chosen by instinct. Again, the pile containing The Star. Again the sense of being on the right trail.

Confirmation of life and sunlight. Of continued survival. Frustrating patterns of life for a child reminded of her true parentage whilst being forced to live in an adopted family. It cannot be easy for her. She is brought up with other children. Company of other European children. Other children gone missing from their families. She has the memory of a large white yacht which spent much time in a harbour. Hot sunshine. Travelling around small islands. Meeting with many foreign speaking people. Arabic white robes it seems. Introduced like a prize and a commodity. Though arabic people were present there were also white European Men. One in particular doing the bargaining. Plus an American too.

The sense of an error of judgement. She travelled to Uk by air not as freight. But dressed with black wig in the early hours. In a small plane. Under pursuit. Intelligence close to getting back. A blind eye by an influential man because it suited his cause for her still to be 'missing'.

The Images:

King Of Birds
The Man in control. Holding a ceremonial sword and the eagle. He calls the shots. A bearded celtic man who knew what was happening and had time to prepare for it all. It suits his cause. This is a political agenda

Page Of Serpents
The missing child. Child of 'the red serpent'. Definitely related to her family. Born in a special way. A pioneeering process. Holding the stick which a playful red setter dog will fetch for her. She is currently in a European Land. Perhaps Holland. But it can change any time. Temporary residences at this time.

Queen Of Fishes
The donor perhaps. Aware of the family and the significance of their ties and influences. A political hot head. Very religious and very unpredictable.

Page Of Beasts
The 'sly fox' and the empty promises. The exchange never took place. A double cross it seems. Now the demands for more and more. So much more ... more names and faces. More agendas to be satisfied.

Three Of Beasts
Horns locked. The effort of three sides to resolve this situation. Someone knows the advantage of a continued stalemate.

The family focred to sit it out. The truth getting further buried. The little girl remains alive. Careful consideration of all the evidence. Little to be leaked as the sly fox appears to be silenced. The new regime takes control.

Quote for the Day

When you are overwhelmed with the immensity of your own pain and suffering, remember:

Reality and Truth are larger.

Even in the depths of despair, if you allow your heart to remain open, light will continue to flow.

Our attachment to struggle and suffering is often stronger than our clinging to pleasure and desire.

A Word on Sigils

Sigils are commonplace. In mundane terms, we use our name as a representation of ourselves, we use a signature as authorisation, and we see traffic lights or signals as evidence that a train is coming! A sigil is hence a visible symbol, representing something else. In esoteric terms, we have the signs of the Zodiac as representing abstract qualities given to each sign. Magical literature is littered with seals, symbols and sigils used for various purposes. These are often drawn on talismans, staves, wands, pantacles, or inscribed on robes during ritual. They can also be drawn on the ground to act as magical circles of protection. However, a sigil has a far more specific use to the practical magician, and this is as a tool to effect changes in accordance with will.

The esoteric artist, Austin Osman Spare (1888-1956) defined sigils as “the means of guiding and uniting the partially free belief.” By ‘partially free belief’ he meant anything desired that was not yet an obsession. This reminds us of Aleister Crowley’s injunction to work “without lust of result.”

That is to say, if the change you require to take place is bigger than you, and you are not in control of it, then you are unlikely to succeed in bringing it about.

Fanatical love or revenge spells rarely work if the person is consumed by the desire. It is far easier to bring change through already available channels in small ways than it is to change the entire universe to suit you! It is easier to work for promotion if you are already in a job; if you cast a luck sigil, start playing games of chance; and if you do decide on a love sigil, get out of the house more!

The creation of a sigil has two phases; construction and casting. In the first part, the sigil is planned, designed and created as a physical item (although it can be created as a visualised sigil with the same process), and in the second part, it is empowered to make it live.

Milan to the rescue for Beckham: Italy loan move could save England career

Source: Daily Mail

AC Milan have confirmed they are trying to sign David Beckham on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy. The former England captain is determined to keep his place in the national team and a short spell on loan in Europe could be beneficial.

Manager Fabio Capello has warned Beckham he will be dropped from England's squad for the international friendly against Spain in February if he is not playing competitive football. Beckham is under contract with the LA Galaxy but their regular season finishes after Sunday's clash with Dallas.

Milan vice president Adriano Galliani had indicated at the weekend that Beckham would be invited to train with the club during the coming months, however it now seems he could sign a six-month deal in January.

Galliani said: 'We are speaking with his agent but we believe he will arrive for some months on a free loan. Beckham has chosen Milan. Our squad is ultra-competitive ...'

A Word on 'the 2 of Crescents'

Source: Daily Merlin Insight 'Very Controversial Insight' (28th August 2007)

The 2 of Crescents is the 'replica' of the original which Madeleine appears to represent; her means of conception surely ... outrage and perhaps 'uncovered mysteries' ... something clearly links the Mccanns to some influential sphere of station ... this is not an ordinary abduction case. Nor is it a case of mistaken identity. Nor is the media speculation true in any way. It has suited the Maker to be out there in the public in the way it has been. It may now be ordered by assumed places of power to calm down ... but those behind the curtain are in truth more powerful than those faces. But it now must tie in carefully to dates, times and places. There is a busy schedule ahead. Drawing it out of the public eye ... permits the story to be buried beneath layers and become concealed. Then the true intentions take place behind closed doors. For it to then surface again once more ... this most truly is intended as a test of wills. A political battlefield.

The Shining Star ... is most definitely still alive. The media circus has been silenced, leaving only speculation out there in cyberspace. Her safe release is still an occurrence seen by foresight. She and her family are gripped by a 'political rapture' and those who hold them in that vice grip are still not for relinquishing that hold ...

There are too many distractions around the Shining Star at this time to make a strong connection, but there is a sense of calmness where there was confusion. Those who hold her aware it is inevitable that there is an end coming to the situation.

UPDATE 23RD OCTOBER 2008
There is much more to be said about the current silence. The current free reign that the 'instigators' have. But it is also a quiet, cool period for those investigating the instigators to travel freely without the Media hounds on their backs. The word 'infiltrate' the instigators ranks sprung to mind.

Don't forget the 'abduction' had been planned weeks/months prior to the night of 3rd May 2008. The resultant media confusion and bamboozling of the public with the facts/non-facts has served to hide who was really involved ... it's hidden who was there on the night in question.

No real facts have yet emerged with regards to anything ... other than the 'cock ups' and the false accusations.

Finding Answers Within

Source: Daily OM

Many of us seek the answers to life’s questions by looking outside of ourselves and trying to glean advice from the people around us. But as each of us is unique, with our own personal histories, our own sense of right and wrong, and our own way of experiencing the world that defines our realities, looking to others for our answers is only partially helpful. The answers to our personal questions can be most often found by looking within. When you realize that you always have access to the part of you that always knows what you need and is meant to act as your inner compass, you can stop searching outside of yourself. If you can learn to hear, trust, and embrace the wisdom that lives within you, you will be able to confidently navigate your life. Trusting your inner wisdom may be awkward at first, particularly if you grew up around people who taught you to look to others for answers. We each have exclusive access to our inner knowing. All we have to do is remember how to listen. Remember to be patient as you relearn how to hear, receive, and follow your own guidance. If you are unsure about whether following your inner wisdom will prove reliable, you may want to think of a time when you did trust your own knowing and everything worked out. Recall how the answers came to you, how they felt in your body as you considered them, and what happened when you acted upon this guidance. Now, recall a time when you didn’t trust yourself and the results didn’t work out as you had hoped. Trusting your own guidance can help you avoid going against what you instinctively know is right for you. When you second guess yourself and go against what you know to be your truth, you can easily go off course because you are no longer following your inner compass. By looking inside yourself for the answers to your life’s questions, you are consulting your best guide. Only you can know the how’s and why’s of your life. The answers that you seek can be found when you start answering your own questions.

Universal Laws & Universal Chaos?

Source: paganpath.com

The Universal laws are absolutely necessary for a metaphysical system of the universe to work. In other words, all the laws, the concept of balance within the universe, the theory of there being a Divine universe, reincarnation, and so on, all these ideas can only work or function if there are laws that govern cause and effect. And like all things, this concept is a theory. As mortal beings, we can only 'know' facts based on our inner knowingness or belief. These laws are no more factual or invalid than the mythology of the creation of the universe in the Norse Eddas, or the Christian Bible.

With that said, what is the theory of Universal Law & Chaos? Before we can examine the Universal Laws, we need to understand what Universal Laws are and how they relate to Universal Chaos. And yes there are both. This is how balance is created within the universe.

Universal Laws were created with 'Creation', whether mankind has discovered them or not. No other laws are necessary to run the Universe. These principles have no exception (as man made laws do) and if events, situations, objects, persons, phenomena and mother nature act as if an exception exists, it is only because humanity does not understand the law in its entirety. These laws are basically rules of nature, or more accurately stated, rules of the Divine Universe. Like laws of science (gravity, relativity, etc.), the Universe laws exist to provide order in nature. Without that order, we would have no purpose, no basic concept of knowledge, wisdom or life.

Universal Chaos - where Universal Laws provide order, chaos provides balance. There are theories that Chaos existed before order was established in the universe. That the Universe was born out of chaos and thus chaos is in all things. Keep in mind that Metaphysical concepts are from the great masters (Pythagorus, Aristotle, Plato). The words and meanings are Greek. Chaos, is the creation of perfectness consisting of indestructible, intelligent, energetic atoms (and smaller particles) not having order. Chaos is the essence of all things made in the universes, the formless void of primordial matter. Some call it chaos, others call it perfectness as mankind knows no other.

If life were totally preordained, then what's the purpose of learning? What's the purpose of growing and expanding your awareness? The outcome is already known. So why not skip the process and just get to the result. But that's the point. Life IS NOT preordained. Your free will and choice create the chaos that by your decisions direct the outcome. You have the ability to continue your construction and spiritual evolution, or destroy it and face the same situation over and over until the lesson is learned.

More on Nibiru

Perhaps Nibiru is not a planet at all, but a small system consisting of a Brown Dwarf Star and a small accompanying planet.

Brown dwarfs were, until recently, only theoretical planet/star hybrids. Astronomers believe that they have now located some brown dwarfs, whose luminosity is so low as to make their detection extremely difficult. Essentially, they are the product of an accreting gas cloud that is several times more massive than that which eventually made Jupiter. Beyond a certain threshold of mass, reactions within this world lead to the emission of heat and a minute amount of light, but the body is still too small to set off the thermonuclear chain reactions that ignite a conventional star. They appear a dull red, contrary to the colour that their name would suggest, and do not increase beyond the spherical dimensions of Jupiter, despite having a greater mass.

They are thought to be relatively commonplace in the Universe, and their relative lack of appearances thus far reflect their dark star qualities. If one is in orbit around the Sun, then it is quite plausible that its detection by telescope has not yet occurred, so one can understand the paucity of tangible data from further afield. But as we become more able to detect and observe planets around other stars, so will our ability to observe this maverick in our own system increase.

The sensational aspect of all this is when one starts to consider this world as a very dim star, rather than a planet. The implication is that we are in a binary star system! Of course, the brown dwarf alluded to is not a star in the conventional sense, but it may emit enough light and heat to make possible moons around it life supporting. Considering its distance from the Sun in the extreme cold of the void, that possibility is an exciting one.

It is certainly the case that any terrestrial planet that far from the Sun would not be able to support life on its own.

So, what if this Brown Dwarf in fact had planets circling in close proximity around it. Surely this would better explain the presence of life. After all, the Nibiruans are supposed to have lived on the Earth and then fled to their home planet, which takes it on a 3600-year orbit out of the known solar system. If that was the case, and it was just a planet and not an actual Brown Dwarf/Planetary system, how could life be sustained in the far reaches of our Solar System? The Brown Dwarf theory makes much more sense and has a correlation with the Hopi Prophecies. When an object in space is moving towards the observer its colour changes by means of the Doppler effect. This is effectively where the light waves are "squashed" together and shift towards a different light spectrum. When the object is moving towards the observer at high speed it turns blue. The Hopi prophecies quite clearly refer to the Blue Star that shines in the heavens

Newton's law of gravity is insufficient to explain planetary science. Planets are magnetic objects and also have a repulsion force that creates the balance between them and keeps them moving. The momentum theory for planets is positively ridiculous. What we call modern astronomical and planetary science is still very much in the dark ages because of this. Play with two magnets to find out that if both are turned a certain way it's difficult to get them to touch because of the repulsion force. The exclusion of the repulsion force in planetary science is a gigantic flaw and political embarrassment to any who've been involved. The story of the Emperor with no clothes is a perfect analogy for how it's being dealt with.

The earth's 30 miles thick crust acts as a magnetic shield, hiding the true magnetic relationships between planets from our terrestrial scientific instruments. If you want to begin to understand the workings of the solar system you would do better just to eat a Fig Newton cookie than to read Newton's law of gravity that does not take into account the repulsion force. The most interesting scientific revelations off planet that are discovered are generally kept quite from the public under the guise of military security reasons by the financial controllers of these institutions who are pulling the puppet strings.

History records many names for Planet X. The Sumerian's called it the 12th planet or Nibiru (translates into; planet of passing). The Babylonians and Mesopotamians called it Marduk, The King of The Heavens and The Great Heavenly Body. The ancient Hebrews referred to it as the Winged Globe because of its long orbit high among the stars. The Greeks called it Nemesis. (Its most telling name) Prophets have named it The Blue Star, The Red Star, The Fiery Messenger, and The Comet of Doom among others. No matter what the name used, it's the same object that has the same effects before and during its passage of earth. The Sumerians also had a name for it's approximate 3600-year orbit (A Shar). The ancient Hindu astronomers named Treta Yuga (3600 years) and the destruction it causes Kali Yuga.

The date 1628 BCE is given for a world wide catastrophic event. Approximately 3600 years ago and coinciding with its return at this time.

Its elliptical orbit takes it around two suns. The other sun it orbits is our suns dark twin. Our best telescopic equipment on and off earth is closely monitoring Nibiru’s inbound approach. This is one of many reasons the orbiting Hubble telescope live feed is hidden from our view. The most accurate calculation for Planet X's next passage is now late May or June 2003.

Each time it approaches it starts a chain of events that culminates with it passing by and causing our earth's surface to change. These changes are the cause of massive death and destruction. History is rich with these stories. Many people from the past didn't draw the connection between what looked to be a large comet overhead and what they were experiencing at the time (volcanoes erupting, earthquakes, land masses sinking and rising, tidal waves, severe weather and floods). Some of these writers from the distant past simply noted what they thought was a foreboding sign or messenger of the prophets, instead of the cause for their woes.

In 1995 Planet X became close enough to us that its magnetism started to effect earth in a big way, which increases now daily. The closer it gets to us the faster it moves toward earth and the stronger its magnetic effects become. There is an ebb and flow to these events that are akin to the calm waves before the next big set. Surfers would be most familiar with this analogy. Expect things to get worse as it approaches nearer but not in a straight line.

Our own sun's gravity is what is pulling it closer and faster. Planet X is not going to hit earth or the sun because of the repulsion force which comes into play as they near each other. There is still reason to be forewarned and concerned.

Earth now has two strong magnetic influences in the vicinity (our sun being the main one) and its core is heating up because of it. It's like a car with the accelerator and brake on at the same time. The sun is pushing and pulling on earth one way and Planet X is now upsetting that balance with its own set of influences. This has been the reason for all the strange weather and seismic activity as of late.

The records of this approximate 7 years of turmoil prior to passing are part of biblical record from at least the last time it came by earth. With correct scientific and historical information you don't need to be a prophet to predict the same cycle of events are happening again during Planet X's approach. These events are just a minor taste of what will come when it goes by this time. And yet even these relatively minor events can cause much destruction. Many areas of the world will begin to be severely effected even before the date of passing in 2003, so don't think you can wait to the last minute and then jet away safely!!

Let’s hope that Zitchin, the Hopi and others are proved wrong, otherwise we are all in for an extremely rough ride in the next few years…

Man Utd 3-0 Celtic

Source: BBC Sport

Manchester United strolled to victory to leave Celtic's Champions League hopes hanging by a slender thread.

Dimitar Berbatov looked offside when he flicked home a close-range finish to put United ahead after 30 minutes. And there were similar doubts about his second, turned in on the rebound after Celtic keeper Artur Boruc could not hold Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick. Wayne Rooney emphasised the gulf in class between the sides with a 20-yard shot on the turn with 14 minutes left.

United are now sitting pretty at the top of Group E and on course to qualify for the knockout stages, but Villarreal's win against Aalborg leaves Celtic with an uphill task to emerge from the group phase

Aspartame Consumption Again Linked to Degeneration of Brain Neurons

High intake of the artificial sweetener aspartame may lead to the degeneration of brain cells and various mental disorders, according to a research review conducted by South African scientists from the University of Pretoria and the University of Limpopo and published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

"We propose that excessive aspartame ingestion might be involved in the pathogenesis of certain mental disorders, and also in compromised learning and emotional functioning," the researchers concluded.

The review of prior research found that aspartame, marketed as NutraSweet, Equal, Canderal and Tropicana Slim, leads to both direct and indirect changes in the brain when consumed in high quantities. Among these effects, the chemical can disrupt amino acid metabolism and structure, degrade nucleic acids, and interfere with the function of nerve cells and hormonal systems. It also appears to change the concentration of certain neurotransmitters in the brain.

The researchers also noted that aspartame appears to cause excessive signaling of nerve cells, and nerve cell damage or even death. By disrupting the functioning of the cells' mitochondria, or energy source, aspartame leads to a cascade of effects on the whole system.

"The energy systems for certain required enzyme reactions become compromised, thus indirectly leading to the inability of enzymes to function optimally," the researchers wrote.

The mystery pink light that appeared over London

Source: Daily Mail

While a pink sky at night might be a shepherd's delight, London residents were left scratching their heads early this morning as a mysterious pink cloud drifted over the city. Bemused bystanders in Mayfair craned their necks to witness the strange light that appeared for just under an hour. A cloud is usually made up of a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. Pink clouds occur almost entirely at sunrise and sunset and are the result of the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere. The clouds themselves are not pink - they reflect rays of sunlight which are predominant at that time.

But this atmospheric phenomenon is so far unexplained.

There has been some speculation that it is a promotion by Breast Cancer Awareness, which is associated with the colour pink.

Or maybe, with UFOs once again hitting the headlines this week, it is the vapour trail from an alien spacecraft.

Meditation: Trust Your Own Instincts

Sit in a quite place. Make sure you are comfortable. Place both feet on the ground and begin to mentally prepare for you meditation.

Close your eyes. Concentrate on your breathing. Always focus on each breath. If you become distracted return to the breathing. Take a few minutes of this breathing relaxation to prepare for your mindful meditation.

Inhale…

Exhale...

Relax deeper into your chair. Think of nothing but breathing.

Picture in your mind a walkway. It is narrow and enclosed by blank, clean walls. Walk down this pathway until you come to an opening. It may be a door, or a gate, or a just a break in the wall. Go through the opening and find yourself in a deep, quiet, safe open space. It may feel like a forest or a cave or an valley.

Whatever it seems to you, it is safe. It is safe for you to sit down and wait.

The place you have chosen is very quiet. It is all yours. There is no one else aware of your place. No one expects anything from you. Allow yourself to sit quietly as long as you like.

When you are ready become aware of another presence nearing you. It is of you, and brings various messages. Whatever you have been seeking, this presence is aware of and has a feeling to share with you. It has an essence to give you that will make you aware of the answers to your own questions. Ask it any question you may have. Ask it to please answer you in whatever way it is able. Ask it for help, then wait. An answer will come. You will feel the answer inside yourself. Another presence may join you. Ask for additional information or ask for new feelings to answer another question. The answers will come to you.

Always know you are safe with each question, each answer, each presence. Stay with your thoughts in this place until you are ready to return. You will feel in touch with this inner messenger and you will trust the answers that came to you.

Know that you can return here any time. You may come back for new answers or to reaffirm the feelings you have just received. Thank those that came to you this day. Acknowledge the feelings that are part of you. Hold dear your sense of instinct and intuition. They are the conscious source of this intuition. Allow them to become part of your life.

Get ready to leave this place you created. It is your sacred place now and you will return often to gather more information for your life.

Walk back through the opening, back down the long pathway. You may be moving slightly more quickly now, Anxious to awaken with your new sense of yourself, anxious to see how this will become part of your life. Your breathing may become quicker. Notice your breathing. Pause a moment and open your eyes.

Daily Tarot of the Day

What has traditionally been known as the Devil card expresses the realm of the Taboo, the culturally rejected wildness and undigested shadow side that each of us carries in our subconscious. This shadow is actually at the core of our being, which we cannot get rid of and will never succeed in taming. From its earliest versions, which portrayed a vampire-demon, this card evoked the Church-fueled fear that a person could "lose their soul" to wild and passionate forces. The image which emerged in the mid-1700's gives us a more sophisticated rendition -- that of the "scapegoated Goddess," whose esoteric name is Baphomet. Volcanic reserves of passion and primal desire empower her efforts to overcome the pressure of stereotyped roles and experience true freedom of soul. Tavaglione's highly evolved image (Stella deck) portrays the magical formula for harnessing and transmuting primal and obsessive emotions into transformative energies. As a part of the Gnostic message of Tarot, this fearsome passion and power must be reintegrated into the personality, to fuel the soul's passage from mortal to immortal.

Revelation of Cosmic Consciousness

The finite mind of man is unable to grasp the Infinite, except in a certain Mystical and Spiritual manner, but by the Light of the Spirit let us do our best to comprehend this great mystery of the Beginning.

Let us accept the term AIN as representing That of which Nothing is known, nor can be known, except through the positive manifestations which arise form It. When we attempt to imagine the AIN SUPH-Limitless Space-our minds tend to rush on and on, only to fall back before the Profundity of the Great Deep; yet we have to admit the possibility of Infinite extension in space. In my opinion this is due to the fact that we are only able to extend the fine material substance of the mind to a certain limit, after reaching which there is NOTHING for Us unless we succeed in developing fresh Power to drive that limit further back and so to extend the actual substance of our being accordingly.

If Life is the Substance of Light, the Life itself is to be considered as the most subtle substance in our make-up, while it would follow that the more this substance is extended, the greater will be our Illumination, the further our range of vision, and the wider our Sphere of Consciousness.

With these thoughts in mind let us attempt to obtain a more complete Understanding of the Primal Process, which is still "going on" Here and Now.

When the AIN SUPH AUR became concentrated upon a Single Center, it compressed the Light into the Substance of Light, which is Life. Or, in other words, the Concentrated Light became an inconceivably powerful Force or Energy in the center of Kether. This Pure Being, or Living Substance, owing to its reaction from the Invisible Center, tends to expand towards Infinity. This gives us the idea of the Substance of the Universe ever expanding , ever occupying more and more of the Limitless Space of the AIN SUPH, while the Primal Centralizing Urge still continues to contract upon the Infinitely Small, or the AIN.

Kether is then the junction of these Two Infinites, but particularly represents the concentration of the Light to a Point on its way to the Infinitely Small, while Malkuth, the Tenth Sephira and Sphere of the Elements-which the Qabalists say is one with Kether-is the Substance which is ever expanding and, so to speak, gradually FILLING UP THE NOTHINGNESS of the AIN SUPH. So we may consider Kether as the Light and Malkuth as the Substance, while the complete Sphere is composed of LIVING SUBSTANCE. This represents the Macrocosmic Universe, but it is every BECOMING GREATER AND GREATER in extent, and driving back, so to speak, the Nothingness of Chaos. Man, being made in the Image and Likeness of God and of the Universe, has the same infinite possibilities of growth in Consciousness, as the Force of the Spirit extends the substance of his mind to wider and wider fields of thought.

Yet the whole existing Universe is the result of the One Thought of God, and it progresses according to the Order of Pure Reason, as indicated in the Qabalah. All the Sephiroth and Paths have their place according to this Order, within the Sphere of the One Substance, and represent the manifold possibilities of the action of the Life Force upon that Substance and the different manifestations of that Substance under the Influence of the Life Force.

In other words, WITHOUT [i.e. outside] the manifested universe is the Infinite Body of Nuit; at the CENTER of All is the Infinitely Small and unextended Essence of Life, or Hadit. The Contraction of Nuit upon Hadit and the Expansion of Hadit into Nuit are constant forces. The Finite Universe, or Ra-Hoor-Khuit, the Ever-Coming Son, is bounded by an EVER WIDENING CIRCUMFERENCE which is always exactly

BETWEEN the Infinitely Great and the Infinitely Small. Kether and Malkuth-Spirit and Matter-together represent this Universal Sphere, while Tiphereth, the Central Sphere of the Tree of Life, must always correspond to Ra-Hoor-Khuit within them; a Sphere HALF-WAY between the Center and the Circumference.

In Nature we may consider the finite representatives of these two Infinites to be the smallest known particle of matter as the Center, the widest expanse of the Star Universe as the circumference, and the Central Sun as their child.

In Man we find all these possibilities, both infinite and finite. The true Center of his being is Hadit whose representative is the tiny Spark of Pure Spiritual Light; the substance of his Mental Body is only limited by the Bounds of the Universe, and these ever recede towards Infinity. His physical body is, however, quite small, while his heart, which regulates the life of that body, is in a mystical sense capable of comprehending the "Light in Extension" of the Sun of his being, which is the soul.

Thus Man is composed of body, soul, and spirit, and the soul is the mediator between the spiritual and material.

The Universe is composed of Malkuth and Kether, with Tiphereth as the Mediator between them, while, in a still greater sense we may consider Nuit and Hadit, the Two Infinites, with the Whole Living manifested Universe of Ra-Hoor-Khuit, as their Ever-Coming Son, the Crowned Child and Lord of the Aeon.

Evolution of the Soul

Source: Daily OM

You meet someone for the first time and feel as if you know them already. You’re in a town that you’ve never been to before, yet you recognize streets and buildings. You start playing a new sport and amaze everyone, including yourself, at your natural abilities and intuitive knowing of the rules. We often describe such experiences as déjà vu: the experience or feeling that a new situation has happened to us before. Then again, the possibility does exist that we have actually lived these experiences in the past or, rather, in another lifetime. Many spiritual practices believe that reincarnation is real: Our souls return to this earth over a series of lifetimes to evolve, learn, grow, transform, and become more spiritually attuned through the course of each life. When we reincarnate, it is believed that we tend to cycle through our different lives with many of the same people. Often these traveling “soul” companions are the ones we enter into relationships with; we work through our unresolved issues together so that we may heal. When we struggle or keep encountering blocks that keep us from reaching our goals, there may be a specific lesson that we are supposed to learn in this lifetime. Being naturally blessed with a musical talent or another gift can be a special ability that you worked hard to develop in a past life. You may even have lived before as another gender or as part of a different social or economic class. Each lifetime brings with it specific lessons that are necessary for our spiritual evolution. Past life recall can give us valuable insights into our past, present, and future lives. The knowledge of how we lived before can help us overcome present obstacles, understand phobias, and resolve relationship issues. There are workshops you can take to learn about past lives, and past life regression therapists can guide you on your journey backward in time. You can learn to visit your past lives through your dreams, meditation, and trance work. It is even possible to see full scenes of a former lifetime flash before you in your mind’s eye as if you were watching a movie. While looking back at your past lives can be exciting and enlightening, it is important to remember that the answers you are seeking to this life can only truly be found by living this one. Look to your past to see where you’ve been, but remember that the life that matters most is the one that you are living now.

The Rising Titans of a New World Banking Order

Source: conspiracyarchive.com

A NEW world banking order is taking shape. Many proud, independent financial institutions with century-old legacies are being bought out. With a crisis made in the US and with its roots in Wall Street, the standalone investment banking model seems dead. Only Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are likely to survive, but not before engineering some form of tie-up with a commercial bank.

But US banking is not dead. With more than 4000 banks in the US, consolidation and liquidations on a tectonic scale would still leave sufficient participants to ensure the sector remains lively and competitive.

In Europe, flawed business models are also being exposed. The over-reliance of British mortgage banks on wholesale deposits to fund long-duration assets has seen a virtual wipe-out in the sector. The principal beneficiary has been Spanish giant Banco Santander, which has acquired a 13% market share in the UK home loans market and is now one of Europe’s largest banks by market capitalisation. With many UK banks turning to the government for capital support, it is likely that the government will demand a more supportive role from the banking sector, especially towards small business in future.

UFO picture is 'best proof yet'

Source: The Sun

A “FLYING saucer” is photographed in daylight over a town — in a snap hailed as one of the most important ever pieces of evidence of alien life. The UFO shot across the sky in front of clouds above Dudley in the West Midlands.

A startled visitor to Dudley Castle captured the amazing image, and sent it to a police detective who collects UFO sightings.

Yesterday DC Gary Heseltine, 48, said: “It’s a very intriguing photograph that was taken purely by chance. If it’s genuine then it could be one of the most convincing pieces of evidence about aliens from the UK ever.”

The photo was taken by a 57-year-old nanny on a day out last April. DC Heseltine, of Wakefield, West Yorks, has now handed it over for study to a former US navy physicist who specialises in photo analysis.

A drawing of a man two FBI psychics say snatched Madeleine McCann has been produced by an American TV programme.Now investigators working for Kate and Gerry McCann say they want to see the so-called evidence revealed in the programme, which was screened last week in the US.The drawing is of a man aged between 36 and 42 with thick dark brown or black hair and stubble. It has now been handed over to police in Portugal.It was produced by two psychic criminal profilers who work closely with the FBI in America. A spokesman for the McCanns said that although they were deeply sceptical of information from psychics, they want their private investigators to examine the information which was broadcast.“If they have given their files to the police in Portugal they should also pass them on to our investigators,” said Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns spokesman, who gave a brief interview to the programme makers.

The U.S. airman who tried to shoot down a UFO over Britain... and other close encounters revealed in secret papers

Source: Daily Mail

Former US Air Force fighter pilot Milton Torres is convinced he had an encounter with an alien spaceship in the skies over England in the 1950s.

He was warned to keep quiet about the incident, but eventually talked about it 31 years later, the newly-released Ministry of Defence files show. On the night of May 20 1957, Dr Torres, then aged 25, was on standby at RAF Manston in Kent when he received an urgent order to scramble.

He was told to intercept a UFO with "very unusual flight patterns" over East Anglia that ground radar operators had been tracking for some time. It was so cloudy he could not see anything, but the object showed up clearly on his radar as similar in size to a B-52 bomber. He was then ordered to fire a full salvo of 24 rockets at the object - something that came as a sobering shock to him.But before he could carry out this instruction the UFO suddenly darted off and disappeared from his scope in a matter of seconds.

The next day a man claiming to be from the US National Security Agency threatened him with losing his flying status if he told anyone what happened. Dr Torres, now 77 and living in Miami, Florida, said he was flying at about Mach 0.92, while the UFO was travelling at over Mach 10. He said: "I think it was an alien spacecraft. It had a propulsion system that was beyond us - either magnetism or anti-gravity."

Until 1967 the MoD had a policy of destroying UFO files every five years because they were considered of "transitory interest".

Tarot Card of the Day

The Sun is numbered nineteen and usually shows a representation of the Sun with rays streaming from it. The Thoth deck version you see here is exceptional in that it is the rose of the Rose-Cross design which forms the Sun itself. The rays of light give the impression of spiralling out into the Universe.

Within these rays are the signs of the Zodiac. There are usually a male and female - the same individuals we saw with the Lovers. They are the holy innocent children of God, bathed in the Sun's rays.

The Sun conveys a sense of fertility and bounty. It is concerned with the turn of the years, cycles of birth, life, death and rebirth. This is a very warm and happy card. After the Moon opened up new doors, the Sun comes up to light the way forward. We have new hope and belief.

This is a card of healing, especially on an emotional level. It promises hope and happiness, along with a new sense of safeness, protection and recovery. We are at the place where miracles happen.

Awakening to Change

Source: Daily OM

Life is a journey comprised of many steps on our personal path that takes us down a winding road of constant evolution. And each day, we are provided with a myriad of opportunities that can allow us to transform into our next best selves. One moment we are presented with an opportunity to react differently when yet another someone in our life rubs us the wrong way; on another day we may find ourselves wanting to walk away from a particular circumstance but are not sure if we can. Eventually, we may find ourselves stuck in a rut that we can never seem to get out of. We may even make the same choices over and over again because we don’t know how to choose otherwise. Rather than moving us forward, our personal paths may take us in a seemingly never-ending circle where our actions and choices lead us nowhere but to where we’ve already been. It is during these moments that awareness can be the first step to change.

Awareness is when we are able to realize what we are doing. We observe ourselves, noticing our reactions, actions, and choices as if we were a detached viewer. Awareness is the first step to change because we can’t make a change unless we are aware that one needs to be made in the first place. We can then begin understanding why we are doing what we are doing. Afterward, it becomes difficult not to change because we are no longer asleep to the truth behind our behaviors. We also begin to realize that, just as much as we are the root source behind the causes for our behaviours, we are also the originator for any changes that we want to happen.

There is a freedom that comes with awareness. Rather than thinking that we are stuck in a repetitive cycle where there is no escape, we begin to see that we very much play a hand in creating our lives. Whether we are aware of them or not, our behaviors and choices are always ours to make. Our past and our present no longer have to dictate our future when we choose to be aware. We are then free to move beyond our old limits, make new choices, and take new actions. With awareness, our paths can’t help but wind us forward in our lives while paving the way for new experiences and new ways of being. It is through awareness that we can continue to consciously evolve.

Man Utd hammer West Brom to go fourth

Wayne Rooney sparked Manchester United into life against a limited West Brom as the champions moved ominously up to fourth in the Premier League table.

The visitors battled hard early on while Rooney had an effort disallowed.

But the in-form England international cut inside Ryan Donk to fire a superb opener on 55 minutes before setting up Cristiano Ronaldo for a simple second.

Dimitar Berbatov added a casual third after poor Baggies defending before Rooney set up Nani to slide in late on.

With perennial rivals Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool all winning and United sitting in eighth prior to the late kick-off, the home side were under a degree of pressure to get a win which would really kick-start their league campaign.

A Revelation ...

She crossed water within 48 hours of her 'disappearance'. Treated kindly. Revered by the 'throng' who were instructed to keep her in their care. In a place no-one would think to look. A stronghold which would seemingly be the last place she would be hidden.

Linked then to 'traditional' pathways of trafficking ... to hide the truth. To hide the where and the why.

She has most definitely NOT been with pedophiles. It appears she may well have been a revelation to many rich and influential faces.
