A Word On 'RFID'

For you who don't know what RFID is, here is the definition: RFID or Radio Frequency IDentification is a method of storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. An RFID tag is a small object that can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person. RFID tags contain antennas to enable them to receive and respond to radio-frequency queries from an RFID transceiver. Passive tags require no internal power source, whereas active tags require a power source. Like the definition tells us, it can be used both on objects, animals and persons. It is the Illuminati's solution to having us all chipped and under control. The purpose is then to connect the whole world population (or what is left of it after they have killed off enough people to feel they can control us) to a Super Computer, already set up, code-named "Lilith" in Brussels, Belgium.

RFID is not ONLY a tracking device, but both a receiver and transmitter. This means that they can both retrieve information about us, spy on us and perhaps even worse - transmit both low frequency radio waves to mess with our minds, and implant actual thoughts into our brain; thoughts we think are our own! That way they can take control over our thought patterns. This sounds like a line from a horror movie, but if so, the horror movie has become reality: taking the chip means the end to all our freedoms.

And here comes the shocking part: The reason the Illuminati go through all this effort to have us chipped fills a greater purpose. As much as many people are afraid of them, they are terrified of us! Not so much that we should revolt and kill them as we should develop spiritually. They are horrified that we should raise to a higher spiritual level where we can see the whole truth and escape from the prison and fight them on a spiritual level. When a person regains spiritual knowledge, he/she starts vibrating on a higher frequency, and this is how we reach higher dimensions and densities. Now get this: the micro-chipping they are planning will once and for all keep us on a low vibration level; the chips are designed that way This means that we can't develop spiritually and we remain stuck in the Illuminati's low vibration prison where pain, suffer and terror are the three main characteristics.

It is crucial that we refuse any kind of micro-chipping, for the last reason especially ... read more ...

Quotes For The Day

"Tolerance does not . . . do anything, embrace anyone, champion any issue. It wipes the notes off the score of life and replaces them with one long bar of rest. It does not attack error, it does not champion truth, it does not hate evil, it does not love good." -- Walter Farrell

"Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are." -- Julia Cameron

Aspartame - Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World

This is the documentary that Coca-Cola and Pepsi don't want you to see. The sweet neuro-toxic chemical "aspartame" was pushed through the FDA by Donald Rumsfeld's Searle corporation and now appears in over 7,000 different foods including almost all sodas and chewing gums. Aspartame poisoning has been linked to headaches, fatigue, abdominal/chest pains, anxiety attacks, severe mood swings, sleep disorders, depression, seizures, memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, birth defects, mental retardation, multiple sclerosis, brain tumours and much more.

Dealing With Fear

If you are feeling fear at this moment, you need to make a decision. When you have relaxed and can explore, you will want to know more clearly what the scary portions of your life represent for you. Right now, you need to: Either, stop resisting and let yourself feel the fear-- without judgment--as the first step in preparing to discover what it is all about for you and what you want to do: or shift your attention into a more positive direction using deep breathing, meditation and positive affirmation. Either choice will help you relax and cease struggling. But bear in mind that emotional healing requires that the feelings be felt as part of the process of clearing and resolution. That moment cannot be put off forever. When you allow yourself to feel without judgment you have moved into the Now and a very large portion of the emotional charge will be released immediately. Then, once you've relaxed, you can use the exercises in this workbook to explore the specific fear and deal with it. Be alert to your own resistance. Even on a positive track you will certainly experience it, most commonly with discouraging thoughts that tell you can't change the situation, or that past failures will be repeated. The first thing to change is those thoughts.

The following exercises are intended to assist you in facing your fear and handling it in the most positive way. The exercises can be used again and again in varying circumstances. It is inner change which precedes outer changes in your life. Begin the exercises. They will help you regardless of what you believe to be the cause of your distress .... for 'dealing with fear' exercises click here ...

Practicing Non-attachment

Parenting asks us to rise to some of the most difficult challenges this world has to offer, and one of its greatest paradoxes arises around the issue of attachment. On the one hand, successful parenting requires that we love our children, and most of us love in a very attached way. On the other hand, it also requires that we let go of our children at the appropriate times, which means we must practice some level of nonattachment. Many parents find this difficult because we love our children fiercely, more than we will ever love anyone, and this can cause us to overstep our bounds with them as their independence grows. Yet truly loving them requires that we set them free.

Attachment to outcome is perhaps the greatest obstacle on the parenting path, and the one that teaches us the most about the importance of practicing nonattachment. We commonly perceive our children to be extensions of ourselves, imagining that we know what’s best for them, but our children are people in their own right with their own paths to follow in this world. They may be called to move in directions we fear, don’t respect, or don’t understand, yet we must let them go. This letting go happens gradually throughout our lives with our children until we finally honour them as fully grown adults who no longer require our guidance. At this point, it is important that we treat them as peers who may or may not seek our input into their lives. This allows them, and us, to fully realize the greatest gift parents can offer their offspring —independence.

Letting go in any area of life requires a deep trust in the universe, in the overall meaning and purpose of existence. Remembering that there is more to us and our children than meets the eye can help us practice nonattachment, even when we feel overwhelmed by concern and the desire to interfere. We are all souls making our way in the world and making our way, ultimately, back to the same source. This can be our mantra as we let our children go in peace and confidence.

A Word On 'Cat Totem Animals'

The cat totem is one that encourages clear perception, an agile mind and body, strong resourcefulness and independence. The cat can also be a strong challenger, encouraging you to come up with new ideas and visit new places. Because of its quick and clever mind, the cat can offer helpful inspiration if you find yourself stuck in a problem or your creative juices feel depleted. If you’re looking for an added boost of courage or confidence, the cat is the totem to call upon.

A very interesting note about the cat is that their energy field is said to rotate in the opposite direction of the human energy field. Because of this it is believed that the energy of cats can neutralize any negative energy that may affect a human. For this reason cats are often viewed as powerful healers.

Some Buddhist Inspiration ...

Our minds can be wonderful, but at the same time they can be our very worst enemy. They give us so much trouble. We are so at the mercy of our minds that even when we find that the spiritual teachings strike a chord inside us, and move us more than anything we have ever experienced, still we hold back, because of some deep-seated and inexplicable suspicion. Somewhere along the line, though, we have to stop mistrusting. We have to let go of the suspicion and doubt, which are supposed to protect us but never work, and only end up hurting us even more than what they are supposed to defend us from.

Passengers laid bare as full body scanners are introduced at Heathrow and Manchester airports

The introduction of full body scanners at Heathrow and Manchester airports has today caused outrage among civil liberty campaigners who say that they are an invasion of privacy. Campaigners claim the scanners, which act like a mini radar device 'seeing' beneath ordinary clothing, breach privacy rules under the Human Rights Act.

The exemption of under 18s from being scanned, which was in place during the trial of the machines in Manchester amid fears the scanners could breach child protection laws, has also been removed. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) also warned that using profiling techniques to single out Muslims, Asians and black people for scanning at airports could breach race and religious discrimination laws introduced by the government.

It was also revealed yesterday that air passengers who refuse to submit to a full body scan at Heathrow and Manchester airports will be barred from taking their flights.

The scanners have been introduced in the wake of a failed attempt by 23-year-old Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up a transatlantic jet on Christmas Day. Airport bosses at Manchester and Heathrow said those selected for scanning are not being chosen on the basis of race, religion or ethnicity.

They will instead scan passengers if they raise the suspicion of security officers following a hand search or unsolved metal detection alarm. They will also go through if explosive or vapour trace detection equipment causes an alarm to sound or if they request a private search prior to or after passing through the walk-through metal detection equipment.

Hubble spots first ever head on collision of two asteroids

Astronomers believe they have spotted the first ever head-on collision of two asteroids in space. The Hubble Telescope spotted a strange comet-like object last week, which was circling 90million miles from Earth in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Scientists believe the object, called P/2010 A2, was created by two asteroids travelling five times faster than a speeding bullet. They were possible siblings of the rogue rock blamed for killing the dinosaurs millions of years ago. Lead scientist David Jewitt from UCLA said: 'It would be the first case we've seen of an asteroid smash happening, basically caught in the act.' The object resembles a comet, but its nucleus is severed from its tail. 'It has a very strange appearance, the likes of which we've never seen before,' Mr Jewitt said. Studies of the object - and searches for similar ones - would improve scientists' understanding of how asteroids break apart, information that may be useful to thwart a future asteroid strike on Earth. 'It might help us understand even how to destroy an asteroid and prevent one from hitting us,' Mr Jewitt said. (Daily Mail)

Defining 'Channelling'

For many, channelling is a new buzz word and it seems that everyone is doing it and many people are talking about it, reading about it and indeed relying upon it. But what is channelling and of what use and purpose is it? Does it have a spiritual role for humanity at this time? Is it a dangerous pastime that can mislead and create havoc in the lives of those who engage in it?

Channelling is not a new phenomenon and it is a skill that has been around since the dawn of time. In fact, many of our great contemporary teachings have come to us through this source, the ability to communicate with consciousness that is beyond the physical Earth plane. For example, A Course in Miracles, the works of Alice Bailey, Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch and Pathwork by Eva Pierrakos all came to us via the skill of channelling and are accepted mainstream works of spiritual greatness. Yet, even today, many are still guarded when it comes to channelling and there is much ignorance concerning the process.

Through many human religious, tribal, and spiritual traditions, there have always been those who have communed with the ancestors of seekers and with non-physical teachers and guides. Many of these have been called witch doctors and have been given a very bad name by established religion. Channelling, just like any other activity, has different levels of skill and therefore different levels of information.

So let us define channelling. In my view, there are different ways and forms of channelling. Because we as humans wish to have everything put into nice neat little boxes, we are placing onto channelling a system of definition that is very difficult to use once we move beyond the non-physical. Once it is understood that we are all physical extensions of non-physical beings, in other words, we are all souls having a human experience, it is difficult to know beyond that which we perceive in the physical, where we as an individual stop and another begins.

All spiritual teachings will tell you that at one level or another, we are all one. That is indeed the highest truth. As the physical extension of a non-physical being, it means there is a part of you, your soul, that is beyond that which you know in your conscious day to day living. It is a multi-dimensional part of yourself that traverses the full spectrum of consciousness from the experience of separation from the "whole" in the physical realms to the experience of "All That Is" at the Source. At these higher levels of awareness, it is very difficult to say 'you', 'me', 'him', and 'her' because a sense of self and individuality coincides with a sense of being One.

To understand this more fully, we must see ourselves as 'individuated' aspects of the whole. Most people still see God as a raincloud and themselves as a raindrop that has descended out of the raincloud of all that is. Owing to this view, the raindrop is seen as being separate from the raincloud, although still water, still of the same stuff, it is still seen as being separate. In reality, we are all physical extensions of a non-physical being, we are a part of God (Goddess-All That Is) that has extended itself into the experience of physical reality. It means that at the higher levels of your consciousness, you are God-Goddess-All That Is. Channelling is all about accessing that part of ourselves and giving it a voice and doing it consciously.

Each and every one of us has reached the channelling state of consciousness many times in our lives. It is a natural state of being and it feels like inspiration, enthusiasm, and sheer clarity of thought. You have all had the experience of talking to a friend on the phone, and all of a sudden a rush of words and advice, and total wisdom, seems to pour though you to that person.

Afterwards you are left saying to yourself, ' where did that come from?' Your motivation to assist, and your wish to open your heart in love at that moment, made you open and willing to reach beyond the you that you experience ordinary consciousness and to reach a greater part of yourself, you Soul Self … read more …

Working With Space

When we decide the time has come to change the look or feel of our personal spaces, it is the spaces themselves that can provide us with the most useful guidance. Working with a single room, an apartment, or an entire house allows us to unearth the innate potential of these spaces and also better understand how we want to relate to them. To be conscious of the possibilities of a space, we need to listen to, look at, and bond with that space in a deep and personal way. Just as no two people are alike, no two rooms, however similar, are identical. The more we know about the spaces we wish to change, the better equipped we are to make them both beautiful and functional.

Before you contemplate colours and layouts, spend some time in the rooms you plan to modify. Observe the way light moves through each space at different times of day. In the course of a week or so, note those times when you feel drawn to a particular space. You may naturally gravitate toward one room when you want to relax and toward another when you want to socialize. Also, remember that not all rooms have to be used as originally planed, for example a dining room may make a wonderful sitting area. As you make these observations, think about whether the spaces under consideration remind you of anything or bring certain thoughts to mind. Writing your thoughts down can make the process of examination simpler. The discoveries you make regarding the rooms in your home can help guide you as you choose colour schemes, furniture layouts, and decorative styles, so that you bring out the natural qualities of each using your creativity and eye for detail. Using the cues you pick up, you can design a beautiful room that is bright and exciting, or one that calms the soul and invites meditation.

By treating the layout and décor of your personal spaces in this mindful way, you can honor their natural rhythms while creating a cohesive and comfortable home through which energy can flow unencumbered. The design elements you subsequently choose will work together like the diverse instruments that come together to form a symphony orchestra. Each will resonate harmoniously with the next, ensuring that your home resounds with a lasting message of beauty, serenity, reassurance, and comfort.

A Favourable End

"Volunteers have fallen in dribs and drabs. Angelic beings who know the consequences of the material plane. But we are all facets of the one. We all work together to drag the remainder of the blind away from the reflection. They do not need that experience anymore. Slowly, one by one for many mortal centuries we will save. Gradually, light will be greater than dark and we will attain.

We will get there in the end. The Lyrian prophecies predict a favourable end. As one we will return back into the heavens. We will vacate our desecrated Eden and head back to the stars"

The second fell to rescue the first

But the one lost the second as well as the first

Now the one must rescue one and two

Know the one will not sacrifice a third

Today's Inspiration

Once you have learned to love; who you are, what you do,
and those around you, you will have truly learned to live.

Search for love, for it is the most important ingredient of life.
Without it, your life will echo emptiness.
With it, your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning.
Even during any hardship, love will shine through.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly.
To love forever is to live forever.

Be thankful for what you have now,
and the opportunities for love and success that are before you.

Daily Merlin Insight - Madeleine

Daily Merlin Insight for Tue 2nd February 2010
Using Servants of the Light tarot (and two undisclosed objects)

The insight is focussed solely on Madeleine McCann, in an attempt to establish a connection and ascertain her current state of mind. The initial stages of the insight comprised a 'psychometric connection' by way of the two undisclosed objects which are specifically linked to Madeleine. The very first reaction was a sudden build up of energy in the left temple above the left eye which built to a point where it was quite painful. Very similar to an intense energy focussed around the pineal gland. The energy then was felt moving in to the left side of the neck ... together with a feeling of a tightened muscle or strained muscle in the neck area. The energy then manifested as a pain in the left side around the shoulders. This is not associated with 'a residual energy' ... linked to the two objects. It is understood to be a current physical sensation/discomfort felt by Madeleine McCann at this time. It's possible the painful shoulder and neck is a symptom of sleeping in an uncomfortable or cramped position (perhaps in the back of a car or falling asleep in a chair). Or more importantly it seems to link with an underlying psychological or physiological condition. There is NO sense of abuse or violence around her. The energy has no shifted to indigestion ... perhaps too much fizzy pop? Drinking lemonade through a straw springs to mind? There is company around her in the image being shown here. Plus her blonde hair colouring seems to have given way to a more brown pigmentation. There seems to be freckles on her face. She laughs but not as often as she might if her mind was at ease. So much is on her mind these days. Some kind of training/routine is affecting her.

Turning to the nine image of the Servants of the Light ... The High Priestess shows her face in the spread. As does the Priest. These cards symbolically have 'light' on them. Either these personas have light shed on them (Namely, they are known to those who seek Madeleine) ... or they are in the public eye somewhere, with the light on the images symbolic of camera glare and press photography. These two characters appear to lead double lives ... the public/business side and the secretive 'magical' side. These two are the 'key' it seems to the mystery and the locality of Madeleine. They know the reason why Madeleine was taken. A sense of 'rebellion' or 'teaching a valuable lesson' reverberates here. There is also the sense of religious instruction around Madeleine. The Four of Spheres is another noticeable image ... the upturned Pandora's Box which has been the theme of recent insights. The Magician completes the trio of 'magical' personalities around Madeleine perhaps. The Five Of Weapons, The Fool & Three Of Spheres is indicative of different directions being taken to locate Madeleine which will not reach the attention of the public. The Fool is trust and the 'blind leap' and the new direction. The new direction may well be an option which has to be taken. Two of Spheres and Five Of Staves relates to inbalances and instabilities around the situation. It is thin ice. It is almost an impasse or stalemate here. Madeleine is not coming to any harm, and 'they' who took her appear to be in the sights of her pursuers. But this sense of standoff is prolonging her disappearance. This impasse has to be overcome in order for her to re-emerge out of the deep shadows where she is kept hidden. A religious group, community or tradition could be the key to who or where ... a magic order or secret society. The High Priestess hints that it is a Female figure in control of the situation? A hidden hand keeps upsetting the apple cart causing the goal posts to keep changing. A go-between appears not to be making any headway. The Fool suggests a search or direction beyond a mountain range, but what has it to do with Madeleine? It is not the location she is in ... the hand who instigates this course of action appears to know this full well. So why the search? There appears to be a priest who has been given some information in strictest confidence ...

A Word on 'The Astral Rope Technique'

A key ingredient to this projection techniques is an invisible, imaginary ROPE hanging from your ceiling. This ROPE will be used to exert dynamic pressure at a single point on your astral body to force its separation from the physical. The ROPE technique is similar, but more direct and hence more effective than other more passive and indirect methods, such as reaching out and pulling vibrations into you, or visualizing yourself in front of yourself. The idea of pulling vibrations into you is vaguely illogical, if you understand the mechanics of projection.

The vibrations are an effect and NOT a cause of projection. When enough pressure is exerted on the astral body to loosen it sufficiently, the energy body expands and energy flows through the chakra system to be stored in the energy body. This flow of energy through the hundreds of chakras and their connecting web, or meridians, CAUSES these vibrations. This normally happens, unnoticed, during sleep.

The more passive, indirect methods of projection do exert some pressure on the astral body to separate, but over a wide area. They still shift the point of consciousness out of the body, albeit obtusely. Any mental action that exteriorizes the point of consciousness will exert some pressure on the astral body.

The action of pulling yourself hand over hand up a rope is a strong, one pointed, natural action that is easy to imagine yourself doing. The ROPE technique concentrates ALL your mental resources into one strong, DYNAMIC action which exerts a high level of pressure directly on a single point of the astral body.

There are many other, more subtle, ways that exert pressure on the astral body as well. Many of these are unsuspected for what they are. Most meditation exercises, for example, exert PASSIVE pressure on the astral body. You may imagine you are going down in a lift, falling, climbing down a ladder, or just floating downwards. Whatever the technique, it is designed to reduce brain activity. Any self induced, inward falling sensation places passive pressure on the astral body, which will cause brain activity to lower and bring on the trance state where a deeper level of the mind is revealed.

The action of inward falling obtusely shifts the consciousness out of the body, exerting passive pressure on the astral body over a wide area, but in the reverse to that needed for projection, i.e., general downwards pressure. This, in a way, is like trying to get your astral body to FALL out of your physical body on its own, i.e., your point of consciousness tries to FALL, downwards, out of the physical body.

What most people do to project is to either exert forward, passive pressure on the astral body, by visualizing themselves floating out of themselves, and HOPE, they can make it happen, i.e., trigger the projection reflex. Or, they try a more direct method, such as visualizing themselves out of their body, which is very, very, difficult. Lets face it, 99% of people can't visualize for peanuts and the act of mentally visualizing yourself OUT of your body, AND shifting your consciousness INTO this visualization is almost impossible for most people. The other popular method is to try to pull vibrations into you. This method is slightly more effective than most as it exerts some pressure at a single point, but it is still an indirect mental action and, therefore, obtuse ... read more ...

A Closer Look ...

A closer look at the 'white' area in today's 'image of the day'. Only because it's my personal 'gripe' ... this looks suspiciously like running water. If this was a photograph obtained from Google Earth, there would be no problem accepting this was the image of running water (there is a triangular plume towards the right of the image together with other tell tale signatures of running water over rocks) ... but because its from an image on Google Mars, we've got the official storyline of 'no water' on Mars to contend with ... plus the countless thousands of sceptics out there. The official storyline has been fed into the logical, everyday imaging part of our brain, which makes anything outside of 'the conditioning' set by this brainwashing hard to swallow. The non-logical side of my brain has no problem observing an image containing water and processing the information. It is water ... but it can't be!

Elk Totem Animal

The animal spirit of Elk is one of strength, nobility, pride, survival, and stamina, and reminds us of the importance of community, most especially fellowship with our same gender. Herds of elk are normally female or male and only unite during mating season. We are reminded by Elk that there is always support if we need it.

The Elk totem can be one of your directions in the Medicine Wheel or sometimes it will come to you for a small journey when you need to be reminded to pace yourself on a project. To protect your stamina until the project is complete. Elk medicine teaches us that by pacing ourselves we increase our stamina. Elk people may not complete a project first, but when it is done they have not burned themselves out. Elk are able to look at the long journey and to "hit their stride" to maintain energy and perseverance.

Elk also tells us to be aware of subtle changes around us and to be ready for a quick response.

Air passengers who refuse a full body scan to be barred from their flights

Air passengers who refuse to submit to controversial full body scans will be barred from boarding their flights. The technology - which has been strongly condemned by civil liberties campaigners - began operating at Heathrow and Manchester airports yesterday. Birmingham will follow suit later this month before the anti-terror devices are rolled out nationally.

The move - strongly criticised by civil liberties campaigners who say the scanners are an invasion of privacy - follows the attempted Detroit bomb attack on Christmas Day. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is accused of trying to detonate a bomb on a flight as it was about to land in the U.S. city, 40 days ago.

Transport Secretary Lord Adonis said: 'In the immediate future, only a small proportion of airline passengers will be selected for scanning.

'If a passenger is selected for scanning and declines, they will not be permitted to fly.'

He said a code of conduct would govern how images were used and which passengers were checked.

Campaigners say the scanners, which act like a mini radar device 'seeing' beneath ordinary clothing, are an invasion of privacy. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has warned that the scanners breach privacy rules under the Human Rights Act for their naked images. The exemption of under 18s from being scanned, which was in place during the trial of the machines in Manchester, has also been removed. (Daily Mail)

'There are at least 186 secret detention centres maintained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) within the borders of the US, according to an article published in the Nation magazine in December.

Their purpose is to deny undocumented immigrants due process and any means by which they can effectively lobby for their rights. “If you don’t have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he’s illegal, we can make him disappear,” explained ICE Executive Director for the Office of State and Local Coordination James Pendergraph at an August 2008 police and sheriffs’ conference, according to the AI report.'

An interesting point to note with this image (and several other images recently obtained) ... when the colour saturation is increased a 'familiar' looking 'stencil like' pattern appears across areas of the image. A stencil like pattern which has been encountered before in other zones of Mars. To the right of the lower ringed 'water' is a distinct area of brown/ochre colouration. When the colour saturation is increased, a stencil like pattern appears. Is this a suggestion the images have indeed been adjusted for public viewing on Google Mars I wonder?

Scientists crack 20-year Aids puzzle that could revolutionise latest HIV medicines

Scientists say they have solved a crucial puzzle about the Aids virus after 20 years of research and that their findings could lead to better treatments for HIV. British and U.S. researchers said they have grown a crystal that enabled them to see the structure of an enzyme called integrase. The enzyme is found in retroviruses like HIV and is a target for some of the newest HIV medicines. It took more than 40,000 trials for them to come up with one a crystal of sufficiently high quality to allow them to see the three-dimensional structure.

'Despite initially painstakingly slow progress and very many failed attempts, we did not give up and our effort was finally rewarded,' said co-researcher Peter Cherepanov of Imperial College London.

Scientists from Imperial and Harvard university said that having the integrase structure means researchers can begin fully to understand how integrase inhibitor drugs work, how they might be improved, and how to stop HIV developing resistance to them.

When the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infects someone, it uses the integrase enzyme to paste a copy of its genetic information into their DNA. Some new drugs for HIV - like Isentress from Merck & Co - work by blocking integrase, but scientists are not clear exactly how they work or how to improve them.

The only way to find out was to obtain high-quality crystals - a project that had defeated scientists for many years.

'We went back to square one and started by looking for a better model of HIV integrase which could be more amenable for crystallization,' Cherepanov said.

The researchers grew a crystal using a version of integrase borrowed from another retrovirus very similar to its HIV counterpart. They tested the Merck and experimental Gilead drugs on the crystals, and were able to see for the first time how the medicines bind to, and block, integrase. (Daily Mail)

The Sign Of A 'Conspiracy'?

This image has been 'borrowed' until our own conspiracy image has been created. Whenever this sign (or something similar) appears against a post ... know there is a conspiracy afoot. 'They' are up to something clandestine and secretive. The post will probably only represent the 'tip of the iceberg' ... maybe even 'they' themselves have released the story as part of the disinformation propaganda trail. Nonetheless, watch out for the sign of a conspiracy ... and take note. The story will probably relate to something that will affect you personally in some way. Be vigilant, be open minded and don't let the 'blinkered light view' phenomenon afflict you. These are dangerous and desperate times we live in. It's a necessity to remain as open minded as possible at this time and be consciously aware of the great extremes 'they' are going to in their efforts to dumb us all down ... and make us 'blinkered' and 'subservient' ... why? What is it they are trying to hide from us? That, is the enigma of it all ...

HAARP Has Deleted its Records From 2010-1-11

'A very unusual deletion can be observed in the archived data of HAARP instrument readings from the day before the Haiti earthquake. Perhaps it is a matter of time until it will get fixed with a simple copy-paste operation, but screen shots have been copied of it.' Set the date in "Chart Archives" below the today's graph to 2001/Jan/
11 in the window below the graph and see for your selves. It is the only
instance of such an occurrence discovered by looking through
other historical dates. Perhaps some other deletions have already been
fixed, relating to other notable quakes around the world.

Arsenal 1 - 3 Man Utd

Manchester United outclassed Arsenal at the Emirates to maintain the pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea - and brutally expose Arsene Wenger's title ambitions.

Sir Alex Ferguson's champions unleashed a devastating display of sweeping, counter-attacking football inspired by the brilliance of Wayne Rooney and Nani.

Wenger had outlined the importance of the meeting with United in the context of the battle to win the Premier League, and by the final whistle saw his hopes placed in painful perspective by a masterful United. United now stand only one point behind Chelsea having played a game more, but the manner of this victory will send out the message that no-one will find it easy to wrest the title away from Ferguson's side.

Nani, so long a figure of frustration at Old Trafford, has rarely performed with more threat and finesse than he did in the first 45 minutes here as he ran Gael Clichy ragged and ensured United had established a two-goal lead by the interval. He baffled Arsenal with a stunning piece of trickery that forced uncertain Arsenal keeper Manuel Almunia to turn his cross into his own net after 33 minutes and then set up Rooney's 100th Premier League goal four minutes later.

Question Me: 'A Recurrent Question'

In recent weeks, especially, e-mails have been asking the same question. In response, to the dozens and dozens of requests from the compassionate & caring folk who ask to the whereabouts of Madeleine McCann, it is best to answer these kindly souls in this way ....

The question (or similar derivatives of the same theme) is not surprisingly ... 'do you still sense that Madeleine is still safe and well?'

This can be answered, initially, very easily ... with an over-riding YES. Nothing has changed since the first time this strong insight was voiced here on A Light In The Darkness. Yes, Madeleine is still alive. Yes, she is still of good health. It is a truly crying shame Madeleine & her family have been seperated for 1000+ days. Someone out there has more than proved their point now. The point of the blade which has pierced the heart of the family should now be removed ... Madeleine's safe return is well overdue. The question will also be answered shortly, in a familiar, way ... with another Daily Merlin insight appertaining to Madeleine.

Rhythmic Rest

The human body evolved to fall asleep soon after the descent of night’s curtain and to wake with the appearance of the dawn. Sleep cycles were governed by patterns of light and darkness for thousands of years, meaning that for much of history, humanity has enjoyed nine of more hours of sleep each night. Our bodies are naturally encoded to respond to light and dark and sleeping with the rhythms of Mother Nature. In the present, artificial light has changed the way we schedule our day-to-day lives, and most of us slumber for less than seven hours at a stretch. It is possible, however, to come back to natural sleeping cycles by making a few small changes. When our bodies and minds are attuned to the world’s natural rhythms, we feel calmer, more centered, and more energetic while awake. Sleep is more satisfying because we afford ourselves more than enough time for restoration and rejuvenation.

Our reliance on indoor lighting further compounds our disassociation from the natural cycles of light and darkness that would otherwise preside over our sleep. You can mimic the passage of the day by changing the quality of the light. Sleeping without heavy drapery or shades is best so you can wake up with the sun. If sleeping by a window without a curtain is not an option, a dawn simulator lamp imitates the sun by growing steadily brighter with the coming of the height of morning.

You will likely discover that changing your sleep patterns to be in sync with the daily cycle of light and darkness is easy and that you feel more alive when your sleeping and waking rhythms are in alignment to those of the earth. Nature’s own phases will be your guide to wellness, granting you more waking hours in the summertime when you will benefit greatly from spending time outside and ensuring you get plenty of sleep in the winter when you likely need it most.

Anomaly Gallery

Another look at the swiss cheese region of Mars, and another 'natural landscape'. If we eliminate the conspiracy theory of 'there is life on Mars' ... and look at this in a blinkered light, just what are the objects within the red circles? And just what are the strange white band anomalies indicated by the red arrows. In this blinkered light we would respond with 'this is an alien world, so there are bound to be natural formations that don't look like anything we have on earth'. With this 'closed mind' viewpoint we may even go as far as saying this picture as been tampered with has part of the 'reversing process' undertaken to obtain this image (It hasn't. This is a pure inverting of the original raw image and a hue adjustment). Anything to detract from considering the possibility this image contains tangible evidence of intelligent life on Mars? An open mind would embrace the possibility for a moment; accept the reality that there is other intelligent life out there in the universe. For the record, towards the bottom right of the lower 'pool' there appears to be a clear reflection of the white band ... it would seem there is a 'liquid' within the boundaries of the white bands (water perhaps?).

Inspiration For The Day

"Mindfulness means moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness. It is cultivated by refining our capacity to pay attention, intentionally, in the present moment, and then sustaining that attention over time as best we can. In the process, we become more in touch with our life as it is unfolding." -- Myla & Jon Kabat-Zinn

Why do we want to become more aware?

If we remain unaware, we:
- repeat the past,
- remain stuck in relationships,
- live superficial, literal and one dimensional lives,
- lack experiences of love and beauty, and
- have limited connection to others and the universe.


With awareness, we are fully involved with life. Awareness is sensing deeply and sensitively for what really is. To do this, we need to approach the present as totally new. When we can be open and attentive in each moment, we begin to free ourselves from the conditioning of the past and the suffering that it so often brings.

"If moment by moment you can keep your mind clear then nothing will confuse you." -- Sheng Yen

Oracle Bones

Oracle bones are pieces of bone or turtle plastron (underside) bearing the answers to divination chiefly during the late Shang Dynasty. They were heated and cracked, then typically inscribed using a bronze pin in what is known as oracle bone script. The oracle bones are the earliest known significant corpus of ancient Chinese writing, and contain important historical information such as the complete royal genealogy of the Shāng dynasty. These records confirmed the existence of the Shāng dynasty, which some scholars, until then, had doubted ever existed.

The oracle bones are mostly tortoise plastrons (ventral or belly shells, probably female) and ox scapulae (shoulder blades), although some are the carapace (dorsal or back shells) of tortoises, and a few are ox rib bones, scapulae of sheep, boars, horses and deer, and some other animal bones. The skulls of deer, ox skulls and human skulls have also been found with inscriptions on them, although these are very rare, and appear to have been inscribed for record-keeping or practice rather than for actual divination; in one case inscribed deer antlers are reported, but Keightley (1978) reports that they are fake. Neolithic diviners in China had long been heating the bones of deer, sheep, pigs and cattle for similar purposes; evidence for this in Liáoníng has been found dating to the late fourth millennium BCE. However, over time, the use of ox bones increased, and use of tortoise shells does not appear until early Shāng culture. The earliest tortoise shells found which had been prepared for oracle bone use (i.e., with chiseled pits) date to the earliest Shāng stratum at Èrlĭgāng (Zhèngzhoū, Hénán). By the end of the Èrlĭgāng the plastrons were numerous, and at Ānyáng scapulae and plastrons were used in roughly equal numbers. Due to the use of these shells in addition to bones, early references to the oracle bone script often used the term 'shell and bone script', but since tortoise shells are actually a bony material, the more concise term "oracle bones" is applied to them as well.

Radiation Therapy Harms the Brain, Causing Memory and Attention Problems

Radiation therapy for the treatment of brain tumours may lead to cognitive decline later in life, according to a study conducted by researchers from VU University Medical Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and published in The Lancet Neurology. Scientists have known for some time that radiation therapy can damage healthy brain tissue, but prior research found no immediate negative effects from the treatment. In the new study, researchers conducted brain function tests on 65 patients who had undergone treatment for low-grade glioma 12 years previously.' Read more...
