How to increase your serotonin levels with strategic eating

Natural News: Your mood can either make or break your day, which is why it’s important that your body produces sufficient amounts of the “happy molecule” serotonin.

Unfortunately, many people don’t get enough serotonin, causing them to develop mental health conditions like depression. According to the World Health Organization, more than 300 million people suffer from depression. This extremely high number is alarming and presents the need for natural methods that can be utilized to improve serotonin production.

Foods are commonly used as natural remedies for many health conditions, including depression. By following a strategic eating method, people can effectively increase their serotonin levels....read more>>>...

A Vein Of True Seership

Over 30 years of consistent & uncanny accuracy goes beyond 'good guesswork' or 'cold reading' or 'a well worked cheating system'. It provides the evidence that true clairvoyance & true mediumship really exists.

It isn't fable or fantasy or whatever other things that the ignorant skeptic wishes to call it. Forget the 'taring with the same brush' as the charlatan and the fake. We are talking about a natural ability that has been providing a vein of incredible insights ever since the 1980's.

When you realise the thousands upon thousands of 'readings' or 'consultations' that have occurred over the last 30 years; and realise there is perhaps only a handful where no evidence was forthcoming in that time; you realise just how incredible this vein of true seership has been. It's not just been the odd one or two 'lucky hits'; its been a consistent high percentage (Over 80%) of 'predictions' coming true and 'other world connections' being made. There is no cold reading technique utilised ... a client is told the information; its not the client telling the information. Quite incredible.

Seeing The Matrix Firsthand

Back in the early 90's I underwent an intense Kundalini awakening, potentially the most powerful one I've had to date. I'd had a number of smaller ones between the ages of 5 and 14 which made me 'more frisky than the average school boy' (Frisky - a word that I'd been given as a description by a school girl friend back when I was at high school).

This one was truly the 'mother of all awakenings'. Looking back now I can see how some higher force had carefully planned the entire thing. I also realise why I was shown the vibration I was shown. It's a good 25 years since the event, but it's wonders can still be recalled now. I yearn for another experience like it!

It began with an evening with some good friends, one of which was a bloody good folk singer. After a few hours frequenting the local bars, we went back to one of our friend's home. It was there that we were treated to our friend's singing. Unbeknown to me at the time, my friend was a shaman, and her singing had a very enlightening effect on me. That night when I got home I had an 'out of body' experience like no other. I entered a world I now know to be the world of the matrix. I could see energy lines and dots and energy swirls. It was a very vivid and surreal experience, which at the time I had no understanding of.

For the next week I was on a very high vibration. My comprehension of the world around me was very strange. It wasn't real; it was a virtual world; it was a game. Everything was a game and I was one of the players. I had the ability to think a thought and it began to manifest into the reality a week or so later. It was a very intense energy experience which created an outpouring of incredible energy which others could feel from me.

The predominant memory is the sense that everything around me was a game; that it was all taken seriously as it was what had been programmed into everyone's awareness from an early age. During this state of heightened awareness, because I was aware of the game's play, the perceptions of seriousness no longer applied. But they would once my state of awareness went back into the electronic soup. I could see the matrix, and the matrix could see me. But when you are within the structure it has no awareness of you.

I grew into understanding what was attacking me; had been attacking me by sending negative experiences into my life (And worse); and would continue to attack me in this way throughout my life. It was the matrix itself because I was aware what the matrix is; so I had become a danger to it. In those moments I got a sense of it all. Then I slipped back into the structure and my normal awareness level returned.

That was then, and this is now. I can recall those days and am grateful for that, and other profound experiences, because I have seen beyond this perceived world. I have seen this existence for what it is; I've felt it from the perspective of 'the illuminati' and know how they manipulate this reality using their heightened awareness. I can comprehend that we are much more than the mere fodder that human kind are in this maze.

Hence the reason why I've so adamantly rejected the New Age theories, and all the dross that goes with it. We might feature the accepted theories here on A Light In The Darkness, because people have the right to their own beliefs, and these beliefs play a very necessary core structure to their enlightenment and development. Its up to them to find out for themselves what lies beyond the 'toys'. We therefore, also, offer a look at the viewpoints uncovered whilst in the heightened state of awareness I call 'the game board level' ... and also realisations that I've had since those days.

What The Matrix Doesn’t Want You To Know

In5D: Do you believe the sky is blue? Do you believe that humans are naturally violent and abusive? Do you think that without laws and government that the world would go berserk?

All of these ideas are beliefs: beliefs are just concepts that we have thought over and over again; like a path worn in our brains, we never question them or where they lead. Many of our beliefs are not even personal—they were inherited, passed down from generation to generation.

They form a tapestry to life, a background structure that we don’t realize doesn’t serve us or our evolution. And what is really nefarious and subtle is that most of these same beliefs support a structure that we have come to call the Matrix....read more>>>...

Life Is So Much Better Now

Living life away from 'the show pony arena' is relaxing beyond measure. Not having to dodge shards of black hexes; or deal with the damage caused malicious unfounded rumours; or come face to face with the egocentric ones who man their stations at pretentious expos.

It makes for a much simpler and easier life being the driftwood that has floated far away from that toxic shore. Life can be lived; and natural abilities can now to used to their fullest potential. 

Obscurity is bliss. It allows living life to the full without worrying what's the next damage limitation exercise to undertake because one of the jealous ones has decided to put their feet where they don't belong; prying into affairs that they have no business nosying into. There's none of that now. My presence far away from their territorial lands. My own practices and abilities no longer subject to the copycat brands; diluted versions of the original. In truth, I no longer care what goes on in those show pony camps. I no longer wasted my energy on watching for the next attacks. It makes life so much better now.

Being Aware of Your Thoughts

Daily OM: Few people enjoy the company of individuals whose attitudes are persistently negative. Yet many of us tolerate the critical chatter that can originate within our own minds. Since we are so used to the stream of self-limiting, critical consciousness that winds its way through our thoughts, we are often unaware of the impact these musings have on our lives. It is only when we become aware of the power of such thoughts that we can divest ourselves of them and fill the emptiness they leave with loving, peaceful affirmations.

Many people, upon paying careful attention to their thinking patterns, are surprised at the negativity they find there. But when we take notice of involuntary thoughts in a nonjudgmental way, we initiate a healing process that will eventually allow us to replace intimidating and upsetting self-talk with positive, empowering thoughts.

While the occasional downbeat or judgmental thought may have little impact on your contentment, the ongoing negativity that passes unnoticed can have a dampening effect on your mood and your outlook...read more>>>...

Wormwood, most known for its use in absinthe, found to be highly beneficial in preventing liver cancer

Natural News: Most people know wormwood as the key ingredient of absinthe, the controversial aperitif that, until recently, was banned in many countries (including the U.S.) because of its reported hallucinogenic effects. However, scientists from Inha University, Seoul National University, and Kyung Hee University in South Korea have found that Artemisia capillaris, one of the plants in the Artemesia genus known as wormwood, can be used to prevent liver cancer from spreading through apoptosis (programmed cell death).

Despite its controversial past, the Artemesia genus has long been used to treat a variety of conditions: In ancient Egypt, wormwood extracts have been used as a pharmaceutical cure for multiple diseases since 1600 B.C., while Greek scholars lauded its therapeutic properties. The backlash surrounding the plant came in the early 20th century, when people blamed thujone, the psychoactive ingredient in wormwood, for loutish and criminal behavior – which was later proven to be false. These days, wormwood isn’t just used in absinthe and medicine – it’s used to naturally repel pests; prevent weed growth; and defend against insect larvae, fleas, and even moth infestations....read more>>>...

Why you absolutely need this precious substance and how to work it into your daily routine: Antioxidants

Natural News: The aging process isn’t always kind. Whether it’s wrinkled skin, joint pain, or the finding that you can no longer enjoy your favorite foods without indigestion, the body has its way of letting us know we’re getting older. But as Derek Henry, founder of Healing The Body, explains in a new video on Brighteon.com, eating the right foods can help keep all the signs of aging at bay.

In fact, Henry states, getting enough of the right nutrients can help prevent the oxidative damage associated with aging, cell damage, the break down of healthy tissue, DNA damage and immune system overload.

What nutrient can do all of this and more? Antioxidants, which are a class of nutrients found in a wide array of foods. As Healthline explains, antioxidants are essential for survival; without them, free radicals would overwhelm the body and destroy it...read more>>>...

Achieving A High Vibration

Daily Om; All matter is made up of energy, and that energy is in motion continually. Everything in the universe, from the smallest molecules to the most complex living beings, has an optimal rate of vibration to keep it healthy. We reach this high vibrational level when we are whole, healthy, and fulfilling our potential.

Human beings are able to consciously control these vibrations within themselves using a variety of techniques. We know when we have reached a high vibrational state because we feel good and can sense that we are aligned with all that is. We find we are capable of healing and have good intuition and perception that are a result of our resonating closer and closer to our ideal frequencies.

Thoughts, emotions, intentions, choices, and actions contribute to our vibrational state, as do the environments we inhabit. Affirmative activities that leave us feeling joyous, appreciative, loving, and peaceful raise our vibration...read more>>>...

The First Post

Extract from our very first post from 12 years ago:

Entering The Unknown

You know when you've seen an alien! It is not imagination. Just fact. An experience which stays with you for life. You then laugh at the sceptics and the disbelievers out there who try to rationalise and point the accusing finger.

They've not had the experience. So they are not able to criticise. They can only explain it in terms of their own reality. No two individual's realities are the same. We may all see the same collective 'world' but we all exist on different and unique realities ... what is reality for one is not automatically a reality for another.

We all dream the hologram known as Planet Earth.

I saw my first alien - well five in truth - nearly 15 years ago. I was NOT on drugs. I am NOT prone to hallucination. I AM open minded. I have been born with natural awareness - call it clairvoyance, mediumship or whatever other pigeon hole you wish to put it in - and I have always 'seen' and 'heard' ... so it was no problem for me.

I'd woken from sleep that morning. I was not dreaming. I turned to look into my room and there they were. Appearing slowly. Like someone was actually spray painting the very air in the room. Slowly coming into this awareness, this frequency ... they stood watching me. Around four feet in height. Wearing Egyptian like headresses and bodices,with some spinning like appenditure in their midrift. Their bodices were brightly coloured.

I can still see them now all these years later.

I merely gazed at them and then turned over to go back to sleep! With hindsight I should have watched them materialise fully and then attempt to communicate with them....read more>>>...

A GLORIOUS SUNSET

"Nothing is ever lost to us as long as we remember it." - L.M.Montgomery

Stronger Signals

The D.T.T have changed in recent days. The transmissions now are much stronger, and the accent in the voices are now much clearer. They appear to be located in the rear right of the human's mind.

Two of the extra sensory perceptions are now employed ... clairaudience which has already been stated in previous reports. But now, in the last couple of days, clairvoyance is being used. Giving me the opportunity to see who is sending forth the D.T.T, and also where they are located.

Both of which, however, are likely to be subject to the human's mind interpreting what it receives and putting it in relation to what it comprehends.

But it is significant. It is a new development, and is fired up for a reason, not by chance. It will no doubt become more apparent in the weeks or months that follow.

The concept was developed by Don Ho, one of the firm's architects, in 1968.

The Seekers

Virtual life never stays still for any length of time. It appears to be a perpetual program of experiences that is controlled by a mechanism beyond our limited understanding as observers of human AI's.

Our own personal dilemmas might give the appearance of being static, or as solid as concrete. But that is only the illusion of the manifest plane. They appear stationary, and binding, when viewed only with the limited five senses. Compared with the apparent length of existence, which runs into alleged billions of years, our struggles are very short lived and meaningless. We're forced to look at it all as separated cells, and therefore we lose track of that bigger picture.

The brave ones amongst us are the ones who are able to push aside the meaningless human struggles, and focus on that bigger picture. They question everything that we are told about life on earth. They back engineer all that has brainwashed us, and programmed our perceptions to view reality in the way that we do. These are The Seekers. They explore incredible worlds created by their thought processes, and untethered perceptions. They experience inexplicable phenomenon that defy logic. They realise truths that are rarely shared with the average.

The Seekers are those who are born with a gnosis, and know the world around us is not how we are told. They have the courage to explore these realisations, and are very selective with who they impart their wisdom. Because in the wrong hands, it can further tie the knots that bind us; thus go against what it is they are born to try to achieve.

Know these seekers ARE on the earth plane, and they are picking at those knots that hold us in our current thralldom. Their roles are being realised, and they are going about their missions.

Miracles Each Day

Daily Om: They are the everyday aspects of our lives that bring us the most joy, even if at first it may seem natural to expect our feelings of happiness to come from the larger events in our lives. By noticing how small things can fill our days with delight, we are more likely to experience the wonder of living.

Once we take the time to look around and witness the beauty, kindness, and laughter that envelop us, what may seem like the ordinariness of the everyday becomes filled with the extraordinary detail of each individual moment. If we bring this sense of awareness to our lives for even a few minutes each day, we will begin to see just how blessed we truly are.

Beholding the joy that surrounds us may initially seem easy, but for some it can take a conscious effort to make it a part of a daily routine. When you awake in the morning and set the intention to notice more joy in the world, watch how your day and, eventually, your life are filled with more joy...read more>>>...

Change From The Inside - How To Defeat The Archons

While no miracle appears on the horizon, which can lift mankind of the thralldom imposed by the unseen hand; it appears likely that there are concealed agencies within the populace that may well be sowing seeds of the Gnosis declared by ancient gnostic doctrines. 

It makes sense that it is the likely way to freedom, because anything that is out in the open will be quoshed quickly by the the all-seeing and all-knowing archons. It has to be something cunning and cyptic that defies any logical thinking of those megalomaniac pirates. Something that can somehow sweep un-noticed into the perceptions of human beings, and change human way of thinking invisibly.

That will be the only way to turn the tide. Change can't come by way of violence or human revolution because counter-measures are in place to deal with that outward action. Mankind is currently too lethargic anyway; minds have been lobtomised by sodium flouride, sweeteners, chemtrails, GMO's, technology etc etc; mankind is likely to kill its own rather than face the enormity of sudden change.

No, this change will come from the inside. Working on dreams and inner awareness. Undermining the efforts of the archons at source level. Changing perceptions and thought processes gradually. It's the only thing that makes sense; the only way to defeat the technological genius that are the archons. They have it well planned, but haven't covered all the bases. They cannot prevent the inevitability that is the quickening.

Hedgehog - Totem Animal for the Day

Whatsyoursign: The hedgehog is symbolic of fertility and being connected to the earth. It’s belly is close to the Mother (earth, that is) and this close proximity is symbolic of its connection to earth and all that is fertile. The hedgehog’s tendency to curl up in the fetal position is also a message of centering, and connecting with the source.

Being a nocturnal creature, the symbolism of the hedgehog deals with intuition, psychic ability, prophetic dreams and visions. This is because the night deals with concepts that are cloaked in shadow – a realm that is not altogether clear. That the hedgehog’s active time is at night is symbolic of “second sight.”

Another testimony to its spiritual power is the hedgehog’s natural resistance to snake venom....read more>>>...

Stress: It’s Not in Your Head, it’s in Your Nervous System

Waking Times: Have you ever been told when you’re stressed to stop worrying and just relax? That it’s all in your head? It would be nice if it were that simple. But it’s not.

Physiology research shows that the stress response memory lives in your nervous system. Take for example exposure to a stressful event. One in which you felt helpless, hopeless, and lacked control. In this case your autonomic nervous system (ANS) is engaged. This is the part of the nervous system responsible for controlling unconscious bodily actions like breathing. To be more specific, it was the sympathetic branch (fight or flight) of the ANS that kicked in while you were strained. In addition, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis of the midbrain began firing. In which a signal from your hypothalamus sends a hormonal message to your pituitary gland that stimulates to your adrenal glands...read more>>>...

Listening to Our Bodies

Daily Om: When our body, mind, and spirit are in balance, we experience good health. But sometimes we get caught up in life's parade of change and movement, and things get out of balance. Just as there are seasons in nature, our bodies go through times of cleansing and times of activity.

Illness is one way our bodies restore the balance they seek, as it cleanses the buildup of unwanted manifestations of negative energy in our system. When we are not feeling our best, we can go beyond addressing the physical symptoms to listen to our bodies as they tell us the changes needed to restore balance.

Our bodies give us signals, but if we don't listen when they tell us that they are tired or stressed, then the imbalance increases and a stronger message is required, one that is generally expressed by illness or dis-ease...read more>>>...

Well Done Google

Those damn Google search engine algorithms have struck again. That's two consecutive Thursdays that the number of visitors has fallen. The pattern is clear, and we've had the lowest number of visitors coming to A Light In The Darkness since January 2007, basically since the early days of the Blog.

Don't worry, we will still be here ... through the good and the bad. Our viewing figures have to go worse before they get better again. It's clearly not our content that is dissuading people, as this time last year we had 350% more visitors than now, and we were featuring the same type of posts. Then the visitors dropped drastically over night, one day, at the same time thousand of other pages were talking on forums about the same.

None of us have recovered since; barely getting our numbers up to those similar levels. But that's not the point anyway. Even if we only had one or two visitors ... we are still getting our message out there. You only have to enlighten people one at a time. Its who they pass that information on to; and so on and so forth ...
