The Cave of Crystals discovered 1,000ft below a Mexican desert

Source: Daily Mail

Until you notice the orange-suited men clambering around, it's hard to grasp the extraordinary scale of this underground crystal forest.

Nearly 1,000ft below the Chihuahua Desert in Mexico, this cave was discovered by two brothers drilling in the Naica lead and silver mine. It is an eerie sight.

Up to 170 giant, luminous obelisks - the biggest is 37.4ft long and the equivalent height of six men - jut across the grotto like tangled pillars of light; and the damp rock of their walls is covered with yet more flawless clusters of blade-sharp crystal.

They are formed from groundwater saturated in calcium sulphate which, warmed by an intrusion of magma about a mile below, began filtering through the cave system millions of years ago. When, about 600,000 years ago, the magma began to cool, the minerals started to precipitate out of the water, and over the centuries the tiny crystals they formed grew and grew until 1985, when miners unwittingly drained the cave as they lowered the water table with mine pumps.

Thought for the Day - There Is A Good To Every Situation

You cannot have the success you seek
without experiencing some failures.
Any experience can be transformed into something of value.
Everything depends on the way you look at things.

What are stumbling blocks and defeat before you,
can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined.

In all of your adversities lie the seeds of equivalent advantages.
In every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the next time.

View your problems as opportunities.
When it's dark enough you can see the stars.

Redefining Human

Source: sapphyr.net

How often do you say or hear other people say “Well, we’re human..” or “That’s just what people do.” as justification for certain behaviours?

Do you ever question such comments?

Today is a day to evaluate and, perhaps, readjust your personal definition of being human.You are an amazing creature. You can be whatever you want to be. The only things that can stop you are your own beliefs about yourself and that is not intended in a corny, self-help sort of way. For example, you may have heard the claim that we are not meant to be with one person for our entire lives and it’s not logical to expect someone to be faithful forever. That is their belief and their choice. And yet, there are those who do fall in love once and make it last a lifetime. That is their belief and their choice.

You may have heard someone justify another’s violent outburst by claiming, “They’re human. Anyone would be angry in that situation.” And yet, there are those who are able to remain peaceful and in control of themselves at all times.

Are those people not human? Of course they are!

But they have a different perception of what it means to be human. Challenge your definition of humanity today. ... Does this definition allow you to become the greatest version of yourself? ...

Does it make you proud to be a member of this species? Before you go to sleep tonight, create a new definition of yourself, what you want to be and believe, however grand it may seem. Have a human day!

Seal - Symbol of The Inner Voice

Seal's medicine includes protection during change, dreaming and lucid dreaming, imagination, creativity, protection from danger, movement through emotions, the inner voice Celtic beliefs imply the human connection to animals is literal.

It is believed that animals have the power to change into human form, and that entire clans are descended from the union of these animal people and humans. Dogs, wolves and cats are some of these animals, and one of the most common associations is with seal-people (selchies).Whether one believes this to be literally true or not, this is a powerful suggestion that we are more closely linked to the animals than we may think, and may inspire us to look into these connections in more depth.

Seals spend much of their lives in the sea, but they give birth on land. This shows us that there are 2 necessary things that help fulfil our dreams and visions. These are formed deep within us, and are nurtured through the power of our ability to envision them using all our senses. They are most easily made ‘real’ by us when we implement practical and material acts. a lot of the time when us humans are ‘creating’ something, the feeling side of things is absent. During the mating season, males can partake in extremely savage battles one minute and be playful and amusing the next.

Seals have the agility to move from anger to complete calm. Seals are (obviously) sea mammals, and are highly symbolic of our feeling, sensual selves. The seal helps us to remember our connection to our deep inner rhythms, feelings, and knowing, as represented by the sea. As humans generally believe themselves to be apart from ‘animals’, when really we are a-part of them, we often fight giving in to these deep rhythms and are afraid of ‘losing’ what we consider to be ourselves. When we are afraid of drowning in these depths, Seal being a good swimmer and knowing how to flow with the ever changing current, reminds us how to swim with the current. When we do this the negative feelings we have created such as worry, fear and anxiety are released from our minds.

If seal enters your life, you are being asked to review the ebb and flow of your thoughts and emotions and find and keep up a point of balance. Water is a creative element and symbolises the feminine imagination and intuition. If the seal appears in your life, pay close attention to your imagination and insight - in the waking state and in dreamtime. A lot of what you imagine generally has a strong basis in reality, no matter how far-off it may seem. People with seal as a power animal are generally highly imaginative and very creative. They will need activities that channel and direct this.

The Seal/Sea Lion can show you how to develop and focus your imagination. Rather than having external ears, seals have small openings. This shows their deep affinity with their inner voice, and can show you how to listen to your inner self, balance your life to it. Your dreams will become more vivid and significant. Seals swim both below and above water, giving them the ability to experience both the inner and outer worlds. They teach those with this totem how to flow, how to hear, and how to discover the deeper mysteries of their true nature. Seals are keepers of wisdom. They reveal to us what is hidden deep within ourselves, and teach us how to integrate our imagination with the reasoning power of the intellect. This will give balance and harmony on all levels. The seal which is so sleek and gorgeous in the water, teaches us how to feel at home in our bodies, and to uncover our inner beauty.

The Salmon Totem - Symbol of Wisdom

The salmon's wisdom includes - value of returning home to regenerate, swimming upstream through emotional waters to gain insight, understanding divination messages, rebirth of spiritual knowledge, wisdom.

The Salmon’s aim is to overcome all obstacles that may present themselves. Its aim is to be reunited with All That Is. We are assisted by salmon in developing the necessary wisdom needed to find the meaning and purpose of our lives, and also to move steadily on our spiritual journey. Celtic tales tell of legendary salmon that lived in a sacred well, which was the source of the river Boyne which flowed past ancient Druid temples. These salmon would feed on hazelnuts, the source of wisdom.

The salmon was considered the oldest and wisest of animals. Comparing the salmons journey to our own life journey helps us comprehend why the salmon was regarded as the wisest of animals. In our life we frequently seem to be face low times, be it external or internal hindrances.

Generally the internal state of affairs are most difficult - resistance and fear of change. Taking salmon as an example can make life a lot easier! It may seem that the salmons up-river journey to the spawning grounds appears a struggle, similar to a humans journey. However, the truth is very different. Difficulties are present, but when jumping upstream the salmon in fact does NOT fight the current, rather it travels with the reverse current flowing beneath the surface. The word summersault was inspired by the salmons leaping and in fact stems from the word salmon - sault. Somersaulting children are being playful and nimble. Being able to be childlike is yet another lesson to be learned from salmon. The salmons long upstream journey every 5-7 years takes it to the place where it was spawned. If this is your power animal, then life changes often take place in this time period. The end of each cycle means a new start. Salmons have an acute sense of smell, assisting them in finding their way home to spawn - they can smell the one stream where they were hatched! They have unbreakable bonds with their past. Because the salmon’s origins are so important to them we are reminded to honour our true heritage. They are extremely determined and even jump 10 foot waterfalls to reach their destinations. They may struggle past many predators, including birds of prey, bears and humans to reach their home waters. They have an admirable drive to get to their place of origin, hardly eating along the way and display hardly any interest in anything but getting there. Once they arrive they spawn and die.

When the salmon lays its eggs in the coarse gravel and sand beds of streams it implies that the birth of a new idea is close. However - for us humans there is a warning here to ensure that a new idea is not laid on a rough foundation. So we are able to complete our journey, we must understand our own history, we must frequently go back in our minds to our childhood for that understanding - and not just in our minds. We can learn from the salmon how to leap with joy and anticipation at the prospect of a new day, and also to know that no matter where we are we are always on our way home. Being light-hearted, open, innocent and childlike is not the aid to reaching the goal, but the goal itself. Flow with the currents beneath the surface. If you don’t know how to incorporate this medicine you may have to stop battling the currents of life.

In general people with this power animal are tough and can persevere when others arent able to. Often they pick a life filled with challenges knowing that within each challenge lies positive-ness and the opportunity for growth. They also have strong spiritual desires and work tirelessly to manifest them. Studying genealogy is important..

Tarot Card of the Day

The Three of Cups: 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!

Valhalla

In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain") is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, those that die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries. There, they join the masses of the dead who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields, and various creatures live around it, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.

Valhalla is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, in euhemerized form and as an element of remaining Norse pagan belief in Heimskringla, and in stanzas of an anonymous 10th century poem commemorating the death of a Eric Bloodaxe known as Eiríksmál as compiled in Fagrskinna. Valhalla has inspired various works of art, publication titles, and has become a term synonymous with a martial (or otherwise) hall of the chosen dead.

A Quick DMI Insight ....

A quick 'now' insight using The Merlin Tarot. The 'focus' as per usual is 'the Shining Star' ... the insight to provide any new sense of her well being and/or location.

It's certainly not going to plan. There is frustration. Someone at the core of the situation is not holding it together very well; has been kept out of the public arena to disguise the cracks. This is a woman in the 'seven'. Recounting her steps she has regrets. She feels she is the most wounded by the situation as it appears it was her original advice that led to the disappearance of the shining star? There seemed to be a group of children from which the 'abductor' could choose. All within a group that had a common theme.

8 of Serpents - "Expediency" - Dare this be interpreted as a number of significant pregnancies? Several groups of twins plus single children who are technically 'genetic' twins. This opens the way to possible speculation who the group really are and what they have dealing with (and also who they are dealing with) ....

Ace of Beasts - 'looking back over old ground' - an apparent group of five. Four on the outer rim of a 'circle' with one in the centre who is 'the donor' - all symbolically 'nestling' in the protective antlers of a rich benefactor - the symbolic 'Stag'. A Celtic Businessman who's abode is in desolate hilly ground - in Ireland?

Warrior Of Beasts - Betrayal has to be repaid. Group/lodge loyalty. Going against the advice of someone of higher rank/station. One of the knights has a role/involvement as a result. To rectify the supposed betrayal. Knights in 'high places' . Medical places? All watching with bated breath. Something has been researched behind closed doors. A symbolic tapestry landscape - a patchwork of techniques? Two mice seen in the foreground of the image perhaps like guinea pigs for 'the experiment'. Now it has been tested ... how strong is the bond/technique? What will be revealed as a scientific advancement.

Queen Of Beasts - Jealous woman in a barren landscape with one child around her. Now partnerless. A dangerous adversary, sits in a a property within woodland - has a tunnel/basement in the woods nearby. She has a power like 'a high priestess'. Woman of rank and role. She holds the secrets. She appears to have been in touch with, or linked to, the one who ordered the 'taking' of The Shining Star'. Her estranged partner is a man of influence. But which one holds MM? Which side is which? A black haired woman ....

The Flow of the Universe

Source: Daily OM

The flow of the universe moves through everything. It’s in the rocks that form, get pounded into dust, and are blown away, the sprouting of a summer flower born from a seed planted in the spring, the growth cycle that every human being goes through, and the current that takes us down our life’s paths. When we move with the flow, rather than resisting it, we are riding on the universal current that allows us to flow with life. Many people live their lives struggling against this current. They try to use force or resistance to will their lives into happening the way they think it should. Others move with this flow like a sailor using the wind, trusting that the universe is taking them exactly where they need to be at all times. This flow is accessible to everyone because it moves through and around us. We are always riding this flow. It’s just a matter of whether we are willing to go with it or resist it. Tapping into the flow is often a matter of letting go of the notion that we need to be in control at all times. The flow is always taking you where you need to go. It’s just a matter of deciding whether you plan on taking the ride or dragging your feet. Learning to step into the flow can help you feel a connection to a force that is greater than you and is always there to support you. The decision to go with the flow can take courage because you are surrendering the notion that you need to do everything by yourself. Riding the flow of the universe can be effortless, exhilarating, and not like anything that you ever expected. When you are open to being in this flow, you open yourself to possibilities that exist beyond the grasp of your control. As a child, you were naturally swept by the flow. Tears of sadness falling down your face could just as quickly turn to tears of laughter. Just the tiniest wave carrying you forward off the shores of the ocean could carry you into peals of delight. Our souls feel good when we go with the flow of the universe. All we have to do is make the choice to ride its currents.

Dimming down: How the brainpower of today's 14-year-olds has slipped 'radically' in just one generation

Source: Daily Mail
Bright teenagers are a disappearing breed, an alarming new study has revealed. The intellectual ability of the country's cleverest youngsters has declined radically, almost certainly due to the rise of TV and computer games and over-testing in schools. The 'high-level thinking' skills of 14-year-olds are now on a par with those of 12-year-olds in 1976. The findings contradict national results which have shown a growth in top grades in SATs at 14, GCSEs and A-levels.

But Michael Shayer, the professor of applied psychology who led the study, believes that is the result of exam standards 'edging down'. His team of researchers at London's King's College tested 800 13 and 14-year-olds and compared the results with a similar exercise in 1976. The tests were intended to measure understanding of abstract scientific concepts such as volume, density, quantity and weight, which set pupils up for success not only in maths and science but also in English and history.

One test asked pupils to study a pendulum swinging on a string and investigate the factors that cause it to change speed. A second involved weights on a beam. In the pendulum test, average achievement was much the same as in 1976. But the proportion of teenagers reaching top grades, demanding a 'higher level of thinking', slumped dramatically. Just over one in ten were at that level, down from one in four in 1976. In the second test, assessing mathematical thinking skills, just one in 20 pupils were achieving the high grades - down from one in five in 1976.

Professor Shayer said: 'The pendulum test does not require any knowledge of science at all. It looks at how people can deal with complex information and sort it out for themselves.' He believes most of the downturn has occurred over the last ten to 15 years. It may have been hastened by the introduction of national curriculum testing and accompanying targets, which have cut the time available for teaching which develops more advanced skills. Critics say schools concentrate instead on drilling children for the tests.

'The moment you introduce targets, people will find the most economical strategies to achieve them,' said Professor Shayer.

Inspiration for the Day

The universe is made of one substance. This is known in some circles as Life Force. This means there is only one type of energy. All manifestations including the various observed energy forms such as electricity, magnetism and chemical energy etc are projections of programs powered and run by this one type of energy.

The human system can be seen as a program with an energy input and energy output. When the rate of energy output exceeds the rate of energy input over a given time period then the conditions of ageing, illness and death result. Alternatively, when the rate of energy input exceeds the rate of energy output then growth, evolution and immortality become possible.

Tarot Card of the Day

Servants of the Light - 3 of Weapons

Tensions caused by situations not easily resolved. The intervention of an unrelenting third party who is completely untrustworthy. Forcing its hand even when requested directions have been taken.

There is real pain and distress with this image. Even with a situation continuing behind the 'veil of darkness', caring eyes are still aware of the confusion and the misery caused by this unresolved situation.

There may have been some kind of infidelity or 'assumed act of weakness' that had brought the attention of the third party to those who have had the sword put through their heart. But even the third party has a weakness ... working on that weakness will only make that third party push the sword of damocles in even deeper.

Too many hidden hands are involved here for an easy solution. Those of the watching eyes do not have the ears to hear what is being said in this situation. They can only assume they know from the few clues which are 'supposedly' provided. There is subterfuge here to protect the identities of those involved. It is not something that can be ended without someone becoming an injured party. It is a stalemate ... an impasse.

Personal Tales

Source: Daily OM

Everyone, at one time or another, has wanted to express his or her story. Writing a memoir to read privately, share with family or friends, or publish is an emotionally satisfying way to gain perspective on your experiences while sharing your unique voice. We’ve all experienced feelings and events in our lives that we are longing to write down. Giving in to that urge can give you an outlet for purging any frustration, anxiety, or long-dormant feelings. No one else has to read it. You may even want to write your story without reading it right away. Satisfying the need to tell your story is not predicated upon your writing ability. It does, however take effort to write down the truth in detail. Your memories, captured on paper as descriptive scenes, sights, sounds, and scents, may at first seem disconnected or incomplete. But rest assured that you possess the ability to shape your recollections into stories.

Everyone wants to be heard. Reading your story to others can meet that need. Writing your story can also help you understand your life experiences. And when you finish writing, you may be surprised at what you have accomplished. Your story can encompass as much or as little of your life as you prefer. You may surprise yourself with new insights, or you may find yourself exploring your roots, your identity, and your future through your words. Allow your writing to guide you and write as truthfully as possible. Don’t worry about what others will think of your personal journey, your style of writing, or your words.

Research has shown that writing a personal narrative filled with feelings and perceptions can create long-term health benefits. As you write, remember to have compassion for yourself, particularly when writing about traumatic events. If you are a young person, you can add to your life story as you grow older. Your writing may help family members know you better, or they may understand themselves more through reading about your experiences. More importantly, you are expressing yourself in a permanent way, giving a gift to yourself, and letting your voice be heard.

"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

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.

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…
