A Word on 'Genetically Modified Food'

The cells of all plants and animals contain DNA; it's like a blueprint for life, passed from generation to generation. Strands of DNA are made up of genes, and it's these that carry the information which gives organisms their specific characteristics, including physical appearance (such as green eyes or purple leaves) and physiological functioning (such as drug-resistance in bacteria).

Genetic engineering, or genetic modification, means changing the DNA by transferring genes between and within different living things. For instance, you could take a gene from a fish that lives in very cold seas and insert it into strawberry DNA, so it can survive the frost.

Some argue that genetic modification of organisms is not new: last century Gregor Mendel was cross-breeding pea plants to create specific outcomes, such as pink flowers from red and white ones. Earlier this century scientists started cross-breeding distant plant relatives (say two varieties of corn) to create 'hybrids' with desirable characteristics from the originals (such as a high-yielding hybrid variety of corn). Many of the food crops we have now are the result of such cross-breeding.

But the genetic manipulation of organisms we're seeing now is a radical departure from cross-breeding, because it crosses the natural boundaries between species, and even between the biological 'kingdoms': plants, animals and micro-organisms. Molecular biology has advanced so rapidly that it's possible to do things now that were totally unimaginable only twenty years ago.

Pandemic warning: BA crew member on Mexico flight rushed to hospital as 68 die in swine flu outbreak. Cases spread to U.S.

Fears the deadly pig flu virus – which may have killed 68 people – could spread to Britain intensified tonight, after a member of cabin crew was taken to hospital with 'flu-like symptoms' after falling ill on a British Airways flight from Mexico City to Heathrow.The man, who has not been named, has been taken to Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow, a hospital spokesman said.

He added: "He has flu-like symptoms and is responding well to treatment. The patient was admitted directly to a side room and the hospital is scrupulously following infection control procedures to ensure there is no risk to any other individual in the hospital."

The man was taken from flight BA242 which landed at 2pm today, a BA spokesman said. Experts said it was a form of swine influenza which has never been seen before.

A further 900 other people are thought to have been infected and eight other suspected cases in southern areas of the United States are also being examined.

Margaret Chan, head of the World Health Organisation (WHO), said the North American outbreak of a never-before-seen virus was 'very serious'.

‘The situation is evolving quickly. A new disease is by definition poorly understood', she said. ‘In the assessment of WHO, this is a serious situation which must be watched very closely. This is an animal strain of the H1N1 virus and it has pandemic potential because it is infecting people. However, we cannot say, on the basis of currently available laboratory, epidemiological and clinical evidence, whether or not it will indeed cause a pandemic,' she added.

Previously, human cases of swine flu have been rare and are usually restricted to people who have had direct contact with animals infected by the respiratory condition. It is spread when bacteria from the virus becomes airborne and can be picked up from surfaces.

The infection is not spread by eating contaminated pork and the UK does not import pig products from Mexico.

The source of the outbreak is not yet known but Mexican authorities said 20 of the 68 deaths under examination had now been confirmed as being from the new strain. Most of those who have died are aged between 25 and 45. And it has also been confirmed that some of the 68 had been victims of a unique version of the disease – a combination of bird, pig and human viruses.

A strain which combines all three viruses is more dangerous to human beings because the body has no natural immunity to it. It also means it can be passed from person to person.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises travellers to immediately contact a doctor if they develop flu-like symptoms. Antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu – developed partly to combat avian bird flu – and Relenza would both be effective against the illness. The UK, Mexico and the United States already have large stocks of Tamiflu. (MJ – How convenient. Create a never before seen virus with drugs to combat it … then create panic by releasing the virus.)

A spokeswoman for the Health Protection Agency said: ‘No cases of swine flu have been identified in the UK or anywhere in Europe.’

A spokeswoman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said there had been no recorded human cases of swine flu in Britain for more than ten years.

Prof Hugh Pennington, a microbiology expert at the University of Aberdeen, said: ‘There is no absolute evidence swine flu can spread from human to human.’ (Daily Mail)

A Word on 'Reiki Attunement'

The Reiki attunement process is how one becomes a Reiki pracitioner. Being attuned to Reiki gives one the ability to easily access the Reiki (Universal Life Force) energy, for the purpose of healing a person or situation. Attunements can be given for either the purpose of training one in Reiki, or for simply giving someone a larger experience of Reiki than usually experienced in treatments.

The attunement procedure is a ceremony of spirit. In this ceremony the Reiki master uses the Reiki symbols and other gestures in a prescribed way. This ceremony creates an energy pattern around the recipient of the attunement which entrains (or attunes) their energy field to the energies represented by the symbols. The attunement is permanent, thus making the recipient a Reiki practitioner, only if the master uses the symbol for the "subconscious". If this symbol is not used the entrainment is temporary only.

Tarot Images for 'A Contemplation On Madeleine'

Daily Merlin Insight - A Contemplation On Madeleine

Saturday 25th April 2009
3.00pm ACT, Australia
Using Servants Of The Light Tarot ...

Contemplating on the two familiar images associated with Madeleine McCann (right) ... the image of the flaming sword on the rock with the star symbol shining above it (the significator for the secret location of Madeleine) and the Star card (the significator for Madeleine herself) ... for insight on Madeleine's current wellbeing and surroundings, plus any other indications which may be provided at this time ...

Images:
Left pillar: Five Of Staves, Two Of Crescents, Nine Of Weapons
Middle Pillar: The Sun, Four Of Spheres, Three Of Staves
Right Pillar: Eight Of Weapons (secret location), The Lovers, Two Of Weapons

Many of the images of synonymous with the DMI's of recent months. Familiar symbolism; the question here is where to start. This is much like a ball of wool which is now in disarray. There are ends of the wool, there are twists and turns. It is a deliberate pattern of disarray to dissuade none but the critical eye to look at the pattern closer. The pattern is a simple presentation of distraction, confusion and glamour ... aimed at taking the tracker off the trail. Because in truth there seems not to be a trail anymore. The top three pillar images of Nine Of Weapons, Three Of Staves and Two Of Weapons point toward prayers being answered in some way ... some kind of established strength/solution deep within the wall of silence ... the two of weapons represents the two forces in opposition which has somehow joined with a third force to create a harmonious pattern of unity? Symbolic ... but at the centre of it all MADELEINE McCANN IS SENSED AS BEING ALIVE AND WELL. This remains my stance even now.

The Four Of Staves is the upturned Pandora's Box which represents all the mayhem and madness which has been around this case. There has been umpteen instances of false discoveries and deliberate trails. None of the truth has reached the public's eyes it seems ... all deceptions have been created to hide the fact the 'sun is shining' through it all. The Two Of Crescents represents the reflections of the truth which have been fed to Joe Public.

Madeleine's secret location relates to imagery of The Lovers image it seems. The Servants Of The Light tarot image is close to the traditional Lovers image ... with all the elements there. It appertains in this instance to some 'archetypal religious' image bestowing its blessing on the symbolic marriage of a man and a woman. Behind them in the background is what seems an island with a rocky peak in the centre with two smaller peaks on either side, and some kind of habitation at its base. It is a symbolic landmark only. Not indicative of the place that heralds the secret location. The image appertains to trinity and the religious law of god in the eyes of man. It is therefore some kind of religious location where Madeleine has been residing recently. Either literally as a house or place of god ... it is linked to something of religious significance ... the Nine Of Weapons indicates a great deal of religious opposition to the viewpoint of those linked to Madeleine and more specifically those who are involved in her safe release. Look to the crystal third eye of an archangel for her location.

Everything here hints at something being planned with precision and accuracy. The reflected image totally of what we've been 'treated to' in the past twenty three months.

So is Madeleine's publically announced return imminent? It is not apparent in these images ... what we have is a planned operation behind it all. A machine with a well tuned motor that drives this situation in all departments. It is a cloud making machine totally ... even those who are the innocents in it all ... the parents and family; those who actively search for her ... are all part of this machine. It circumvents many levels of government, media, technology, defence etc ... as it is meant. This machine is much like the oil tanker in the ocean which has to suddenly come to a halt ... it has a required distance to come to a dead stop. Certain agendas and certain things to occur.

Madeleine is safe ... and her eventual return is the shining star in the nightly news which will illuminate all the lands ... her name being known across all the lands is very relevant. Someone somewhere who is a driving force of the major religions (Jesuit?) has deliberately set this up so Madeleine's return will have some religious significance. Madeleine appears to have been one of seven or eight children who could have been chosen for this disappearance and role. Madeleine's donor genetics appear to have come from somewhere very significant. Significant enough to ensure she is kept safe and well ... and has spent the last two years being religiously instructed and conditioned to a specific way of life ... Gerry & Kate may or may not have known of the genetic significance of the donor in their IVF treatment ... they are pitched in this all as scapegoats and are powerless to resist the role they have to play and the subsequent bad press they get because of this role.

Pandora's Box can also indicate all the shady places and people which the trojan horse search for Madeleine has uncovered. There is something like religious or rival cleansing being linked to all of this ... a chance to get rid of the dross and clear out the deadwood too ... there is certainly shadow deceptions here ...

Buddhist Inspiration ...

"...to have greater self-awareness or understanding means to have a better grasp of reality. Now, the opposite of reality is to project onto yourself qualities that are not there, ascribe to yourself characteristics in contrast to what is actually the case. For example, when you have a distorted view of yourself, such as through excessive pride or arrogance, because of these states of mind, you have an exaggerated sense of your qualities and personal abilities. Your view of your own abilities goes far beyond your actual abilities. On the other hand, when you have low self-esteem, then you underestimate your actual qualities and abilities. You belittle yourself, you put yourself down. This leads to a complete loss of faith in yourself. So excess--both in terms of exaggeration and devaluation--are equally destructive. lt is by addressing these obstacles and by constantly examining your personal character, qualities, and abilities, that you can learn to have greater self-understanding. This is the way to become more self-aware."

Rothschild = Redshield: Now Greenshield?

'By projecting an image of himself as a rich man's kid drifting away from his predestined path to choose a life of self-inflicted hardships, de Rothschild leaves out the fact that his activities are actually perfectly consistent with his family's long-time ambitions.

As so often is the case, we must peel off multiple layers of deception to arrive at the rotten apple-core. De Rothschild's crusade against 'climate change' is not despite of his upbringing - on the contrary: it fits in perfectly with his families age-old trickery, to create and promote a crisis, let it rage for a while and then generously bring out the solution in favour of the globalist agenda.

And as the young Rothschild's environmental enterprises show, the methodology is still very much alive.'

A Word on 'Freud’s Complex View of Inner Self'

Sigmund Freud was the famous philosopher who studied the problem of conscious and influence of emotions. Everybody knows Freud as the author of well-known concept of three levels of person: id, ego and super-ego, which is considered as complex view of inner self.

The reference of Freud to the conscious mind is what can be called today “available memory” anything that can be brought up on mind is named available memory. Freud thinks of them as of the smallest parts of mind.

According to him, the largest part is unconscious. Unconscious takes account of the things that are not available to realizing such as instincts and memories which are very hurting to face. Freud said that the unconscious is the basis of the motivations. It does not matter whether they are simple, as the wish of food, or such motives as scientist or artist. So people can deny or accept them, resist or deny of being conscious of these motives and they may be acceptable only in hidden form.

Freud describes the id as something, consisting of immediate needs. Then he says that the ego represents reality and it serves for id, as it looks for the necessary means to satisfy the needs of the id. Super- ego is described by Freud as the conscious. The biggest part of time and efforts are devoted to ego, as people are always searching for the means to satisfy their requirements and wishes. The super-ego in its term serves to represent the conscious and reflect the society. In most cases people are looking for satisfaction of the id with the help of the things and means which are acceptable by society.

Underneath the Mask

Many of us know the feeling of being stuck in a particular role within our families, as if we are wearing masks whenever we see the people we love. Maybe we are the good daughters, expected to always please others, or perhaps we are the family clowns, expected to be jovial and make everyone laugh. This same scenario can play out within a work situation or a group of friends.

We may be so good at our role that we hardly even notice that we are wearing a mask, and yet, deep down, we know that we are not free to simply be who we really are. This can leave us feeling unseen and uneasy. There is nothing inherently wrong with wearing a mask or playing a role. It is a natural part of any social dynamic and it can even be creative and fun. It only becomes a problem when you feel that you have no other choice than to wear that mask, and this is especially challenging if you realize you are never without one.

Perhaps you have forgotten who you really are—a vast and unrestricted being of light—and have identified yourself completely with a role. You may be the dutiful, caring son who keeps his parents’ dysfunctional marriage intact. You may be the angelic wife who enables your husband to continue on a destructive path. You may be the cheerful daughter to a deeply depressed mother. Whatever the case, knowing the motivation behind your performance—the function of your mask—can help to uncover your true face.

Anytime we find ourselves stuck behind a mask, it is an indication that we are entangled in a dysfunctional dynamic in which our true self cannot be seen. We have been placed in this situation for the purpose of our own healing and, in some cases, the healing of others. From this perspective, life can be seen as a series of situations that call us to remove our masks—gently, and with great compassion for all concerned—to reveal the beauty underneath.

Big turnout for Anzac Day marches

Tens of thousands of people have lined the streets of Australian towns and cities to cheer on veterans and their families taking part in this year's Anzac Day march. Umbrellas decorated the parade ground at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra as war veterans and current servicemen and women marched past the Stone of Remembrance. Governor-General Quentin Bryce delivered the commemorative address, saying the day was about coming together to pay respects and give thanks.

"We come to pay our respects and give our thanks to reflect deeply on what their offering means," she said. Ms Bryce then joined Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and other dignitaries in the laying of wreaths. (Source: ABC.net.au)

More 'Stargate Theory'

Imagine this scenario. The U.S. government obtains intelligence that hidden somewhere in central Iraq is an actual stargate, placed there by the Anunnaki 'gods' of ancient Sumeria...

In this scenario, when Nibiru is closest to Earth, the Anunnaki " will "take the opportunity to travel to Earth through that same stargate and will set up their encampment in Iraq.""With time running out, President Bush invades Iraq. American scientists raid the (Iraqi national) museum and close the stargate, thus frustrating the grandiose ambitions of the self-styled reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar, Saddam Hussein, and making the world safe for the New World Order."

"Is this the sequel to the movie Stargate? Is it a new episode of the TV series? Is it a new Star Trek movie? No, it is none of these. According to Dr. Michael Salla, it is probably exactly what happened!"

"Dr. Salla, an Australian national, obtained his M.A. in philosophy from the University of Melbourne and then his doctorate (Ph.D.) in Government from the University of Queensland in 1993. After spending two years as an Associate at the Centre for Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies in Australia, he joined the faculty of the Department of Political Science at Australian National University in Canberra as a lecturer. In 1996, he came to the U.S. and gained an academic appointment at the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C. where he remained until 2001."

"Dr. Salla's Iraq stargate theory is expounded in a paper written for publication.""He believes that the U.S., Russia, Germany and France have been aware that the Anunnaki left behind some very high-tech apparatus, and possibly weaponry, when they abandoned the Earth around 1,700 B.C., and that Saddam Hussein had been getting assistance from Russian, German and French archaeological teams for years in an attempt to unravel, and perhaps reverse-engineer, this apparatus."

The Light Of Understanding

Come ... follow.

Where I stand, gentle waves lap a sandy shore. There is the hint of a breeze which ruffles my hair. Overhead, the sun is trying to break through early morning mists. There is a slight chill to the air. I know light has only just come to the world. Concentrate, be there with me. Feel the sand on the balls of your feet. Hear the lap of the waves on the shore. Feel the hint of the breeze. See the white clouds haloed by the yellow of the sun. See the touch of the sun on the clouds - the tinge of yellow and orange on their edges. See it, feel it, breathe it and be there.

Turn now your attention to me. Notice I am but a slip of youth. I am dressed in plain white gown. My hair is unkempt, blonde. I look at you with kind blue eyes. You know then you can trust me. I will not lead you astray. Come, follow me. Come walk with me along the beach at the water`s edge. There is many places I need to show you. Come. Get to know this beach... for it shall be our meeting point for now.

You gaze at my bare feet. See, they seem to be just like yours. My skin is pale, almost translucent. You then notice my outstretched hand ... between my fingers there is a suggestion of me having webbed hands. It is true. That is the truth. But it matters not. For you know me to be human too. I bear the same soul as you. I come from the same world as you. Human time is of no importance.

At my feet notice a simple leather-like pouch. A pouch filled with unknown things. What colour do you see my pouch? Red? Black? Yellow, maybe. Come, ponder on this for a while. Strengthen thy power of visualisation. See my pouch as it lies discarded on the beach. What wonders fill that pouch? Concentrate and you will see this pouch.

My pouch carries all the keys I have to give to you. But not all at once. Too much knowledge all at once would be too much. You need to acclimatise yourself to the visions; to the journeys; and ultimately to the expansion in your consciousness which will take place.

Now, turn your gaze back to the beach. To your feet. See your feet. See your five toes. See the impressions they make in the sand. In the golden sand. As you begin to slowly walk, notice first the cold pockets of sand and then the warm pockets. Feel the change in temperature. The feel on the balls of your feet. Concentrate and become accustomed. Now, gaze across the sea towards the horizon. See the mists there and pick out the sun behind the haze. See the myriads of colours that are painted on the clouds. See the heavenly tapestry. Gaze to the left and then to the right. Do you see any stars? Any planets? What do you see? Now, look again to the left. See the orb of light there, slightly higher than the sun. What do you think that is? The moon? A star. Concentrate and then listen. There will be a voice telling you what it is. I won`t tell you, you must find out for yourself.

Now, turn yourself around and concentrate on the beach and what is beyond the beach. What do you see? Concentrate and bring this visualisation to life. Concentrate. Forget the modern world and the hectic life you lead. Forget. This visualisation is real.

Now, take a series of deep breaths. One .... two ... three ... four ... five ..now hold that breath ... six ... seven ... eight ... nine ... ten. Hold it in. Feel yourself go light-headed. That`s it. Now blow out sharply for ten. Do it a second time and a third. Good, the modern world is forgotten.

You are ready to journey. For the first time. Along ancient avenues. Pathways forgotten by man. Pathways that lead to enlightenment.... enlightened means to be filled with light. The light of understanding. The universal light.

A Word on 'Quatrains'

A quatrain is simply a poem with 4 lines. The rhymed quatrains of Nostradamus were written mainly in French with a bit of Italian, Greek, and Latin thrown in. He intentionally obscured the quatrains through the use of symbolism and metaphor, as well as by making changes to proper names by swapping, adding or removing letters.

The obscuration is claimed to have been done to avoid his being tried as a magician. Of course a skeptic might say it was done so the quatrains could be interpreted to fit numerous situations.

An example of one of his more famous quatrains is from Century #2 Quatrain #24. The French and English versions are as follows:

Bestes farouches de faim fleuues tranner; Plus part du champ encontre Hister sera,En cage de fer le grand fera treisner, Quand rien enfant de Germain obseruera.

Beasts ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers: The greater part of the region will be against the Hister, The great one will cause it to be dragged in an iron cage, When the German child will observe nothing.

So does Hister actually refer to Hitler? An instance of Nostradamus changing letters around? Is this a reference to Germany during WWII? (Activemind.com)

Remember the Sun

There are times when gloom or darkness causes us to momentarily lose sight of the light. Although it is at these times when the thought of the sun can help us. Its warm, glowing rays brighten even our thoughts, and it’s good to remember that despite appearances the sun is shining right now. We may not be able to see it at this very moment, but if clouds block our view, they are only filtering the sun’s light temporarily.

If darkness has fallen, we know that the sun is still shining at this very moment somewhere not too far away, and it’s only a matter of time before it will shine on us again. When we remember that the sun is still shining, we know that things are still in motion in the universe. Even if life feels like it is at a standstill, sometimes all we need to do is have faith and wait for the time when everything is in its perfect place. Or we can we can choose to follow the cues of the sun and continue doing our work and shining our light, even when we can’t yet see results.

In doing so we exercise our patience, making sure we are prepared when opportunity knocks and all other elements are in their right and perfect places. The sun also reminds us that our own shining truth is never extinguished. Our light shines within us at all times, no matter what else occurs around us. Though the sun gives us daily proof of its existence, sometimes our belief in our own light requires more time. If we think back, however, we can find moments when it showed itself and trust that we will see it again. Like the sun, our light is the energy that connects us to the movements of the universe and the cycles of life and is present at all times, whether we feel its glow or not.

'Temperance'
Servants Of The Light tarot

In most aspects, this is best depicted, as the blending of opposites. An indication that some kind of harmonising or healing energy/force is at work in the deep subconscious. Events and situations are changing ... merging, blending, changing. Nothing is the same anymore. For the client it indicates a period of stress, trauma which had been experienced in recent times. The image shows there are signs of recovery ... they may not be apparent to the client at the time. It is therefore necessary to look ahead into the other aspects/cards to find when recovery will be seen/received.

On a metaphysical level it can be indicative of a archetypal healing force being directed to the client. The subconscious has been providing the conscious mind with experiences that point out the opposing forces in a situation ... contrasting emotions ... and the conscious mind has been able to understand, in principle the reason for the constrasting and conflicting events in the material life. The card will therefore epitomise a time fast approaching where the situation will become more manageable.

The image has been known to indicate recovery from deep depression and serious anxiety disorders.

A Quick Word on 'Meditation'

The word "meditation" can be very daunting to many people. They believe that there has to be some 'trick' to it and only certain people will be able to accomplish a successful meditation session. They imagine a person sitting cross-legged, surrounded by enormous silk pillows and burning incense and uttering "OM" over and over again.

This scenario can be true for some people, but for the most part, we are all very busy and do not have the time for silk pillows and incense. The journey toward self-fulfillment and self-improvement does not need to be painful or time-consuming.

Every single person meditates whether they realise it or not. Reflecting inward, thinking about the day you just experienced or just staring at the wall are all instances of meditation. It does not have to be a 1970's zen-type experience.

Traditionally meditation is used for spiritual growth. More recently, however, meditation has become a valuable tool for finding a peaceful oasis of relaxation and stress relief in a demanding, fast-paced world. (Meditate With Me)

Spreading Love Effortlessly

In the quest to create a gentler, more loving world, kindness is the easiest tool we can use. Though it is easy to overlook opportunities to be kind, our lives are replete with situations in which we can be helpful, considerate, thoughtful, and friendly to loved ones and associates, as well as strangers. The touching, selfless acts of kindness that have the most profoundly uplifting effects are often the simplest: a word of praise, a gentle touch, a helping hand, a gesture of courtesy, or a smile.

Such small kindnesses represent an unconditional, unrestricted form of love that we are free to give or withhold at will. When you give the gift of kindness, whether in the form of assistance, concern, or friendliness, your actions create a beacon of happiness and hope that warms people’s hearts. The components of kindness are compassion, respect, and generosity. Put simply, kindness is the conscious act of engaging others in a positive way without asking whether those individuals deserve to be treated kindly. All living beings thrive on kindness. A single, sincere compliment can turn a person’s entire world around. Holding a door or thanking someone who has held a door for you can inspire others to practice politeness and make already kind individuals feel good about their efforts. Smiling at people you meet—even those who make you feel like frowning—can turn a dreary encounter into a delightful one, for both of you.

Every kind act has a positive influence on the individual who has performed said act as well as on the recipient, regardless of whether the act is acknowledged. Kindness brings about more kindness and slowly but surely takes a positive toll on humanity. Weaving the thread of kindness into your everyday life can be as easy as choosing to offer a hearty “Good morning” and “Good night” to your coworkers or neighbors, a stranger on the street, or the grocery store clerk. When you commit a kind act, you are momentarily disconnected from your ego and bonded with the individual who has benefited from your kindness. Being fully present in each moment of your life facilitates kindness as it increases your awareness of the people around you. You’ll discover that each act of kindness you engage in makes the world, in some small way, a better place.

Prediction ... Just For Fun ... The English Premiership Title

Thursday 23rd April 2009
Using The Navigator Of The Mystic Sea Tarot

'There are currently three runners in the race for the English Premiership Title - Man Utd, Liverpool & Chelsea ..."

Choosing three images per team, let the 'powers that be' indicate the most likely winner of the Title this season:

Chelsea - currently in 3rd place ... Magian (encapsulation); Page Of Pentacles (reservation); Eight of Cups (seclusion).

Liverpool - currently in 2nd place ... Empress (conception); Two Of Cups (harmony) reversed; Five Of Cups (dissipation)

Man Utd - currently in 1st place ... King Of Cups (transition); Six Of Cups (Felicity); Fortune (rotation)


Chelsea ... So near yet so far. The Magian (magician) indicates the 'magic' of Chelsea being in the running with all the turmoil and changes they have experienced this season. The card shows almost a bullseye target with a pointer missing the target. They certainly will finish in the top three. Perhaps they overtake Liverpool in the end? The Page Of Pentacles suggests further progress ... maybe the attention is on elsewhere (The Champions League final)? Symbolism goes elsewhere too ... relating to a new manager being appointed from a shortlist of four?

Liverpool ... Harmony reversed is disharmony ... the Empress indicates the need for calm and composure. Something that was in the net (an image on Five Of Cups) has slipped from their grasp (the title?) ... image shows a boat beginning to drift away from the destination of the title. Out of their hands now. If they don't instill calm then it will be 3rd place.

Man Utd ... Fortune! Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The Six Of Cups depicts felicity which is bliss and happiness. King Of Cups ... 'the king of the cups'. Certainly the cards favour Man Utd to win the title ... there is also some hint of a roman dress in the image. The European Champions League is in Rome? There seems another crack of that title too to really be the 'king of cups' ... to retain the Champions League trophy and be the first team to do it? The Premiership title seems to drift their way now ....

American Stonehenge: Monumental Instructions for the Post-Apocalypse

The Georgia Guidestones may be the most enigmatic monument in the US: huge slabs of granite, inscribed with directions for rebuilding civilization after the apocalypse. Only one man knows who created them—and he's not talking.

The strangest monument in America looms over a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia. Five massive slabs of polished granite rise out of the earth in a star pattern. The rocks are each 16 feet tall, with four of them weighing more than 20 tons apiece. Together they support a 25,000-pound capstone. Approaching the edifice, it's hard not to think immediately of England's Stonehenge or possibly the ominous monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Built in 1980, these pale gray rocks are quietly awaiting the end of the world as we know it.

Called the Georgia Guidestones, the monument is a mystery—nobody knows exactly who commissioned it or why. The only clues to its origin are on a nearby plaque on the ground—which gives the dimensions and explains a series of intricate notches and holes that correspond to the movements of the sun and stars—and the "guides" themselves, directives carved into the rocks. These instructions appear in eight languages ranging from English to Swahili and reflect a peculiar New Age ideology. Some are vaguely eugenic (guide reproduction wisely—improving fitness and diversity); others prescribe standard-issue hippie mysticism (prize truth—beauty—love—seeking harmony with the infinite).

What's most widely agreed upon—based on the evidence available—is that the Guidestones are meant to instruct the dazed survivors of some impending apocalypse as they attempt to reconstitute civilization.

Whoever the anonymous architects of the Guidestones were, they knew what they were doing: The monument is a highly engineered structure that flawlessly tracks the sun. It also manages to engender endless fascination, thanks to a carefully orchestrated aura of mystery. And the stones have attracted plenty of devotees to defend against folks who would like them destroyed. Clearly, whoever had the monument placed here understood one thing very well: People prize what they don't understand at least as much as what they do.

Three Points Clear, A Game In Hand ...

Manchester United reasserted their authority on the pursuit of the Premier League title with a crucial victory over Portsmouth at Old Trafford.

Wayne Rooney - recalled after injury - put them on their way with a simple finish from Ryan Giggs's cross after nine minutes. And substitute Michael Carrick wrapped up the win when he fired in an emphatic strike eight minutes from time after Paul Scholes delivered a trademark slide-rule pass on his 600th appearance for United.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side produced a performance that was workmanlike rather than spectacular, but United's only objective was the victory that puts them three points clear of Liverpool with a game in hand. If there was a disappointment for United, it came in the shape of a missed opportunity to improve their goal difference against a Portsmouth side that rarely troubled keeper Edwin van der Sar.

Giggs was denied twice by England keeper David James, and also missed from close range as United dominated for long spells without emphasising their superiority until Carrick struck late on. (BBC Sport)

The Virtual Reality of the Sleep World

Part 1

All of the "natural laws" that govern the physical world are based upon illusions that have been conjured up by Darkness. All "natural laws" in the Virtual Reality are purposely imposed upon the inhabitants of the Dodecahedron - the Virtual Reality - to disadvantage the inhabitants (who are really prisoners or slaves of Darkness), and to benefit Darkness. Every illusion employed by Darkness is founded on the Grand Illusion of Motion.

The illusion of no-motion has been a topic of discussion in many of my writings. It is the illusion that Darkness created to keep beings that are trapped in the Dodecahedron from realizing that they are spinning and spinning for no purpose other than to suit Darkness. The spinning is brought about by the illusion of motion, which trapped beings are almost totally oblivious to because of the illusion of no-motion.

The illusion of no-motion is really an illusion within the illusion of motion and motion is the Grand Illusion of Darkness. It is through the illusion of motion that Darkness was able to "create" Its virtual realities. The entire Virtual Reality is encased in the Dodecahedron, which is composed of the twelve pentagon-shaped universes. The illusion of no-motion causes great confusion. Even the encasement of True Spirits in "souls" in this Virtual Reality stems from the illusion of no-motion.

The illusion of no-motion is that illusion that deceives beings into thinking there is no-motion unless their rate of travel changes. This illusion causes things in this pseudo-creation to appear to be very different from what they really are. Hence, people are deceived and confused by the illusion. For example: The illusion of no-motion makes the Earth appear to be standing still for those who occupy it, and without in-depth study, the Earth's residents would be ignorant that the Earth is in constant motion.

The illusion of no-motion is now fracturing because the Virtual Reality is collapsing. Once the illusion of no-motion is totally fractured, the separation of Spirit from Matter will be completed. This means that True Spirits will finally be freed from the encasements that are called "souls". The latter are pseudo-spirits that impersonate True Spirits while all the while they act as jails of the True Spirits that are trapped in the Virtual Reality. The illusion of no-motion should not be confused with the Buddhist concept of illusion, which is yet another form of illusion within the illusion - a virtual reality within the Virtual Reality.

When Darkness corrupted thinking and created thoughts and thought forms, It became deluded in Its own fantasy. As Darkness became more and more deluded, Its "creation" became more and more entwined to such an extent that Darkness has become confused by Its own handiwork. In other words, Darkness is demented and trapped in Its own creation.

Motion was created so that Darkness could cluster Its thought forms into pseudo-material amalgamations, which has been called "Matter". Thought forms as we know them in this Virtual Reality originated in the Mind of Darkness. Thought forms come from thoughts; thoughts and thought forms as we know them exist only in the Virtual Reality and in the Mind of Darkness.Darkness projected Its thoughts to "create". So, in a sense, everything in the Virtual Reality is in the Mind of Its "creator" - it is Darkness' delusion.

Thoughts grow and stimulate negativity or positivity. Thoughts can cause obsessions, corruption, influence behaviour and responses. Corruption of thoughts is due to thoughts of Darkness acting out Darkness' delusions, fantasies and desires. The delusions of Darkness have permeated the entire Virtual Reality. Darkness could have returned to Purity but It was too enamoured with Its own thoughts. In a simplified explanation, Darkness is so deluded by Its own sense of grandeur that It rejects the Light.Motion is the foundation for vibration, which is yet another illusion within the illusion of motion. Vibrations are used to create many other illusions, including false light (material light, or light made from material particles). Dimensions within the Virtual Reality are brought about by various frequencies of vibrations. Hence, dimensions are illusions within the illusion of vibration, which is an illusion within the illusion of motion. Thus, it can be seen that the Virtual Reality is composed of illusions within illusions.

However, these illusions are very "real" because Darkness very much intended the illusions to appear to be all there is. Otherwise, the Virtual Reality would not be such a successful trap. In fact, the Virtual Reality appears so real that even Darkness has become convinced that it is real.

The Virtual Reality has many illusions, including the illusions of touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. These illusions were all "created" by Darkness, and none of these illusions will exist when the Grand Illusion of Motion ceases.

Darkness invented the five senses. The main reason for the "creation" of the senses was to further entrap beings in Its make-believe world of the Virtual Reality. Many people are now so numbed in awareness that they accept that unless something can be experienced through the five physical senses, it is not real.Those who have "vision", "hearing" or other ways of sensing things beyond the five accepted senses are often considered to be deluded. Many psychologists and medical professionals will zealously attempt to "cure" people who admit to having experiences beyond the five physical senses by prescribing mind-altering drugs to harness what they perceive to be a psychiatric problem. In extreme cases, such ones are incarcerated for admitting to sensing things beyond the five physical senses.

As the Virtual Reality fractures more and more, so will the dimensions within the Virtual Reality fracture. As more and more people can sense inter-dimensional activities, many of them will be diagnosed as schizophrenic or as suffering from other forms of mental disorders. The ignorance of other dimensions, and the reliance upon the five senses, are so deeply instilled in the population that most people are in absolute denial of the possibility of other forms of existence or intelligence apart from the physical. This will leave most people unable to cope with the fracturing of the Virtual Reality. Science and medicine will have no real answers, and their proposed "cures" will actually be detrimental to the well-being of those who are breaking through the five physical senses.

As the Virtual Reality succumbs further to the fracturing, more and more of Its "magic" will weaken and dissipate.

The Legacy ...

The Legacy was a way of recording the essence of our thoughts and our experiences, in a time when mankind was able to do so. When the vibration of the planet permitted us to do so. Before mankind became so reliant on tools and gadgets and machinery to do all its thinking for it. Mankind no longer uses its brains. Mankind has been made to forget the full capability of the physical forms that adorn its souls.

The Legacy reports is all. The legacy has survived. The legacy cannot be destroyed. Not the true basics to it. Not its core. It has been misconceived. Turned into frightening, unspeakable thing - by those who had tried to destroy it. By those who were in fear of it. It is there still for all to understand. It is there as a living testament to what mankind once was; what mankind can be again; where mankind has gone wrong; how mankind has gone wrong; why mankind has gone wrong.

Every experience since that very first meeting in the hall of records below Temple Isle has been recorded in the essence of the tree. It is vital I stress this. Every single member of Ezra has recorded its experiences on the tree since.

Inducing States of Consciousness with a Binaural Beat Technology

Altering consciousness to provide a wide range of beneficial effects (stress-reducing relaxation, improved sleep, intuitive, creative, meditative, healing, and expanded-learning states, etc.) necessarily involves either changing levels of arousal or cognitive content or both.

The extended reticular-thalamic activating system model suggests a neural mechanism responsible for regulating generalized levels of arousal (basic rest-activity cycle, sleep cycles, ultradian rhythms, etc.) as well as behavior- or cognition-specific patterns of arousal. The cortical attributes or contents of consciousness are the result of social-psychological conditioning and elemental cognitive acuity.

These ambient factors of consciousness (arousal and content) provide us with a first-person experience or awareness. Effective induction of propitious states of consciousness, therefore, requires a multidimensional approach involving sensory-information stimuli, social-psychological conditioning, and education. Binaural beating, a sensory-information stimulus, provides potential consciousness-altering information to the reticular-thalamic activating system which in turn alters arousal states, attentional focus, and level of awareness (crucial elements of consciousness itself). Integrated with other sensory-information techniques, social-psychological conditioning tools, and educational curriculum, binaural beats can provide access to a variety of beneficial applications and first-person experiences of expanded states of consciousness.

Binaural beating is associated with an electoencephalographic (EEG) frequency-following response in the brain that has been demonstrated by Oster (1973) and in the context of hearing-acuity research (Hink et al. 1980). Many other studies have demonstrated the presence of a frequency-following response to auditory stimuli, recorded at the vertex of the human brain (top of the head). This EEG activity was termed "frequency-following response" because its period (cycles per second) corresponds to the fundamental frequency of the stimulus (Smith, Marsh, & Brown 1975). Stated plainly, if the audio stimulus is 24 Hz the resulting measured EEG will show a 24 Hz frequency-following response using appropriate time-domain averaging protocols. This frequency-following response signal is, however, very small and represents only a small portion of the overall EEG and is not, in and of itself, representative of a change in consciousness.

Brainwaves and related states of consciousness are said to be regulated by the brain's reticular formation stimulating the thalamus and cortex. This extended reticular-thalamic activation system (ERTAS) is implicated in a variety of functions associated with consciousness (Newman 1997). The word reticular means "net-like" and the neural reticular formation itself is a large, net-like diffuse area of the brainstem (Anch et al. 1988). The reticular activating system (RAS) interprets and reacts to information from internal stimuli, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs as well as external sensory stimuli by regulating arousal states, attentional focus, and the level of awareness - critical elements of consciousness itself (Empson 1986; Tice & Steinberg 1989). How we interpret, respond, and react to information then, is managed by the brain's reticular formation stimulating the thalamus and cortex, and controlling attentiveness and level of arousal (Empson 1986). "It would seem that the basic mechanisms underlying consciousness are closely bound up with the brainstem reticular system..." (Henry 1992). In the ERTAS model, binaural beats engender changes in rhythmic EEG patterns throughout the cortex and our first-person experience of consciousness as cortico-thalamic projections adapt to information (the binaural-beat waveform) coming to the midbrain reticular formation.

Binaural beats were discovered in 1839 by a German experimenter, H. W. Dove. The human ability to "hear" binaural beats appears to be the result of evolutionary adaptation. Binaural beats can be detected by humans when carrier tones are below approximately 1000 Hz (Oster 1973). The sensation of "hearing" binaural beats occurs when two coherent sounds of nearly similar frequencies (the carrier tones) are presented, one to each ear, and the brain detects phase differences between these sounds. This phase difference normally provides directional information to the listener but when presented with stereo headphones or speakers the brain integrates the two signals, producing a sensation of a third sound called the binaural beat.

Perceived binaural beating appears to originate in the brainstem's superior olivary nucleus, the site of contralateral integration of auditory input (Oster 1973). This auditory sensation is neurologically routed to the reticular formation (Swann et al. 1982) and simultaneously volume conducted to the cortex where it can be objectively measured as a frequency-following response (Oster 1973; Smith, Marsh, & Brown 1975; Marsh, Brown & Smith 1975; Smith et al. 1978; Hink et al. 1980). The objectively measured frequency-following response provides proof that the sensation of binaural beating has neurological efficacy. (Source: Monroe Institute)

Pheasant Magic ..

The flamboyant, eye-popping colours of the male pheasant, reminds us that nature knows no end to its variety and creativity. Nature makes a way for these males to be very attractive to their female counterparts by design. Consequently their bright colours are perfect for wooing pheasant strumpets.


Indeed, they are so effective, that males often have a harem of three hens at once. This is symbolic of creativity, sexuality, influence and magic. Why? Because females hold the gift of life (reproduction, creation of offspring), and the number three is a magical number that deals with the union of two to bring about the creation of another (male + female=progeny).

Those with the pheasant as their totem have the same ability to attract love and creativity in their lives as the male pheasant does. These people have strong libidos and are able to attract a healthy amount of attention from those with whom they desire to partner. Yes, even many at a time if they so choose.

However, it is important to note the element of balance in having this totem, and the pheasant's environment is our indication. He is a riot of glam and colour, but ever-ready to slip into the tall grasses or sheltering shrubbery when he must. In other words, the pheasant can be a show off, but he is always ready to retract his wiles when the time calls for it.

This a powerful metaphor in our lives. We can show our bright colours of creativity, and influence in the world – but we must know the proper time in which to do so. The pheasant reminds us that no matter how vibrant and original we may be, if we carelessly throw our gifts out at inappropriate times, or to un-listening audiences our efforts are in vain

"Observer"

I have these hands; this mouth; these ears and eyes
I am a human being here on the earth plane
I sense many things; I observe
I watch and I wait; I observe events
Without knowing why

Why?

I sense other agencies touching my mind
Controlling me, kind souls not harming me
But using me in a way I had agreed
Like a bond we share
Like I observe all around for them to learn

But it’s like we are one
We share all things I experience
We are part of the same
And I agreed to be the observer
Like I try to use what it is they created

But what?

And why?

Is my suit of sand ahead of time
In some way?
Is my connection a prototype
Do I merely witness from a distant point
The disturbing events unfolding

Without ever taking part?

Is that my part this time?

An observer
A vehicle for something higher to witness the earth plane
An observer
Who records through writings and theories
What is going on?

Am I an observer
I wonder?
Who or what is the agency?
Who am I in all of this?
Who is it I observe for?

A Word on 'Tipareth'

Tipareth, the sixth sphere, is at the centre of the Tree of Life. It is the heart and the sun. It is known as the sphere of beauty.

Tipareth is the only sphere below the abyss which has a direct connection to the highest sphere of Kether, and it is also connected directly to every other sphere except for the lowest sphere of Malkuth; it is through this sphere that the divine spirit from Kether is poured forth throughout our being. The Sepher Yetzirah calls the consciousness of Tipareth ‘Sekhel Shefa Nivdal’ or Transcendental Influx Consciousness, and says this about it:

‘It is called this because through it the influx of Emanation (Atziluth, from Kether) increases itself. It bestows this influx on all blessings, which unify themselves in its essence.’

Tipareth is the seat of our sense of self, the unifying centre around which our psyche is organized. It is the primal unity of Kether descended into the realm of plurality, where the singular point becomes the centre spot of a circle – the occult symbol of Sol. The eternal subject, the knower which is never itself known, of Kether becomes the individual subject of a single life – that spark of the limitless light which gives us life. In the symbol of Sol referred to above the centre spot represents the eternal unity, and the circle shows a perimeter, a definition of inside and outside, self and other; this leads to the paradoxical concept of the whole contained within the part which, as strange as it may seem, is a concept also to be found in the modern discipline of quantum physics.

The Buddhist doctrine that the individual self is an illusion is based on the fact that the most fundamental essence of the self – the point in the centre of the circle – is not unique in every individual, but is actually the shared essence of all things, the ‘prima materia’ of Kether. The Qabalistic tradition is distinguished from the eastern tradition because whereas Buddhism is a ‘direct path’ which seeks only to escape from the conditions of existence and be dissolved back into the spiritual essence, Qabalah is a magickal path which recognized the necessity of all ten spheres and twenty two paths, and seeks the perfection of the material conditions of existence rather than escape from them.

Is there anyone out there in the question mark galaxy?

Its unique glowing shape almost tempts us to ask the question - is there anyone out there? An interacting group of galaxies, this image shows a striking blue stream of material passing from one side to the other - a distance of over 100,000 light years.

Nasa experts have described the Arp 194 system as a cosmic fountain of stars, gas, and dust.

The upper group is a deformed jumble of galaxies that appear to be in the process of merging. The lower 'dot' of the question mark shape is a single spiral galaxy.

The bright blue line is light emitting from a stream of hot super star clusters. It has been dubbed a 'fountain of youth' by NASA, as each cluster may contain dozens of individual young star clusters within. (Source: Daily Mail)

Pattern Of Pain

The most common form of withholding is what we commonly call "the silent treatment," but withholding encompasses any unwillingness to express your true feelings. It also includes an unwillingness to give support, praise, or positive attention to the people you love.

We have all known someone who is impossible to please, and many of us have suddenly found ourselves at the other end of a chilly silence with no explanation. At the same time, many of us will recognize our own tendency to withhold our emotions rather than express them. Most of us have seen both sides of the withholding dilemma. Emotional pain is at the root of our tendency to withhold, and withholding causes pain to the people subjected to it. It is a dysfunctional pattern that creates a breakdown in communication and understanding.

No one deserves to be subjected to withholding. Feeling ignored, disrespected, or shut out, and to not know why, is a terrible feeling. The first thing to remember if this is happening to you is that you are not to blame. You are caught in someone else’s pain pattern. This person does not know how to express feelings in a healthy way probably because this is what they learned when she or he was a child. The second helpful thing to remember is that the withholder is acting out of pain. They are stuck in a habitual mode of response that is self-defeating and alienating to the people they love. Remembering this will help you feel compassion for the person hurting you.

However, if you have suffered too long with this pattern, you may need to get some space. Take some time to look at your own patterns and understand why you have taken part in this drama. If you are dealing with people in a family situation, you can step up to the plate to help break the chain of this behavior pattern. If, on the other hand, it is you that tends to withhold, understand that this is a learned response and it can be unlearned. Find safe places to begin to express all that you’ve been holding back.

Begin to make an effort to say what you’re feeling and thinking. Give praise to someone you love. The more you do this, the healthier you and your relationships will become. What was learned over a course of a life cannot be changed overnight—remember, one day at a time.

A light beyond the storm ...

There is hope
There is a light beyond the storm
Darkness will not always be in control
Its hold draws to a close
The central sun is out from behind the clouds
Its light travels quickly to the material shores
Its wondrous effects are soon to be felt.

The darkness hid
Within the fabric of the human mind
Unperceivable, unnoticeable
Becoming too confident; too ignorant
But like the tumour it rises to the surface
Making itself known
All the hate, all the greed, all the guilt
Collected in one place
Within one entity
It is contained
It can no longer run

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is scheduled to be a busy day. A day of being a 'purveyor of the mystic arts'. It's good too ... focussing once more on the etheric and vibrational energies. Ignoring the mundane and material facts & figures of the theoretical. Back now on the road first embarked nearly forty years ago as a naive young child.

The naive young child which was first visited by an Ancient Force in the guise of an Old Testament Prophet ... a force which took the naive young child around the galaxies at the same time that The Keys Of Enoch were being dictated to their author in the USA. A naive young child who was then haunted by the Shadow forces during his formative years.

The naive young child endured; became a determined teenager who found it hard to relate to all The Sheep around him. A determined teenager who'd been 'told his life story' as a young boy ... who merely watched it unfold; experienced what was intended for him, so the determined teenager became the adult ... and the adult became The Acolyte of The Forgotten Path ... a path which has wound and wound like a serpent ... all the way to this point in time.

This point in time has arrived and it heralds a busy time schedule from now, thankfully. Tomorrow ... so much for the mystic to perceive and speak of. Tomorrow ... another day of mystic pursuit. And it is the fulfilling path from now ...
