Thoughts to get you Thinking #59

"Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Racing through life is very stressful. If we stay in high gear too long, we lose our ability to shift down. And when we're stressed, we can't access happiness, appreciation, fun, compassion, generosity, awareness of beauty and other wonderful qualities. High stress also triggers negative emotions like frustration, impatience, anger and fear.

Life has so much to offer if we will slow down and truly experience it. We must always remember that we are the ones in control of the accelerator. We CAN choose to brake.

"Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going too fast -- you also miss the sense of where you are going and why."-- Eddie Cantor

Song That Inspired Me #10

I first heard this song one Thursday night in 1982 on BBC1's Top Of The Pops. It prompted me to buy the single (A Picture Vinyl) the very next day. It was my favourite Iron Maiden song for many years. Only being eclipsed by Wasted Years years later. This is the song which really got me into Iron Maiden, as I'd not been overawed by Paul Dianno's voice. The guitar work had always been my interest in Iron Maiden with instrumentals like Genghis Khan and Transylvania. With Bruce Dickinson at the helm I began to enjoy Iron Maiden. Though I have to concede Number of the Beast, his first album with them, is still the best.

The song is of course RUN TO THE HILLS

Astronomers Capture 234 Signals From Space They Say Could Be Extraterrestrial – We Are Not Alone

Collective Evolution: A new study has identified 234 stars, out of a sample of 2.5 million, that display an odd pulsing signal. The two astronomers who conducted the study utilized data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey for their findings, and reported that the pulsing is much like what a signal from an intelligent alien race would look like if they were attempting to make contact. 

The astronomers, as well as outside experts, have raised speculations that there is a possibility aliens might be involved, and due to the lack of concrete answers regarding the strange behaviour, it is a realization that ought to be considered.

For their findings, the astronomers, Ermanno Borra and Eric Trottier from Laval University in Canada, looked at 2.5 million stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) project. Their study, published in the journal Solar and Stellar Astrophysics, explains that they believe the signals recorded could be aliens attempting to make contact with Earth. Their conclusion came as result of a prior study conducted by Borra that envisioned the shape of an extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) signal. The 234 signals recently discovered are an exact match to this very shape...read more>>>...

In Awe of Beauty

Daily OM: Beauty speaks to us in soft whispers or bold declarations. She calls on us to gaze in awe at her splendor. We are enticed by beauty. We adore her, idolize her, and even court her. Beauty seduces all of our senses. Beauty's seduction can be as obvious as the striking good looks of a man or woman or as subtle as the charms of a shaggy dog with loving brown eyes. We find beauty in the wonders of nature. Beauty offers us a symphony of colors with every sunrise and sunset and reveals to us her brash power through a storm at sea. Beauty teases us through the shy smile of a child and delights us via the brilliant flashes of fireworks. Beauty sometimes piques all of our senses at once, appealing to our taste buds, as well as our eyes and nose, when she appears in the form of a deliciously baked cake. Beauty calms us with floral scents and excites our aural lust through the passionate sounds made by an orchestra. Beauty can be cruel, and our pursuit of her can be in vain...read more>>>...

David Icke - Who Are 'They'? The Historical Evidence

Seeing the Illusion

Daily Om: Most of us were raised and live in a culture that emphasizes the ideals of independence and control. The general idea is that we are on our own and we don't need any help from anyone else, and if we are really successful it's because we are in complete control. However, true lasting success comes only with surrender, which is the opposite of control. We cannot accomplish anything truly great on our own, without any help, and the idea that we can is an illusion that causes most of us a great deal of suffering. Surrender comes when we see that illusion and let go of trying to attain the impossible. Surrender can then be seen as a great strength rather than a weakness. Even small moments of surrender are powerful indicators of how different our lives could be if we would only let go...read more>>>...

Why Is Antarctica Kept Top Secret?

This documentary short is a complex presentation of recent U.S. and Russian visits to Antarctica, the Nazis, and Hollow Earth, including its importance in Nazi Germany before and during WW2, and Antarctica's possible escape route off of the Earth for many Nazi's who mysteriously disappeared after the war without a trace. Few know the truth about Antarctica, as it is an expanse of land that has gone unnoticed for centuries. But not by the Nazis...They knew the truth...

The Nazis believed there might have been a civilization inside the Earth. This was the belief of Helena Blavatsky, who profoundly influenced the Nazi's philosophy and esotericism. There is an abundance of evidence to suggest that a theory now considered dumb to most people, the hollow Earth, had an unusual cult following in Nazi Germany. German pop figures and writers also supported this idea, including one writer named Karl Neupert. The Earth was not a solid rock, but was shaped more like a human eyeball, having two portals of entry at the North and South poles and was hollow in the center. An empire was alleged to exist inside the Earth called Agartha. This is where the master race dwells.

Why was this? The Nazis did not create the hollow Earth concept. The idea preceded them. Even illuminati members Edgar Allen Poe and Jules Verne alluded in their poetry and prose to such a place, deep underneath the crust. Call it conspiracy, but the Nazi's led three expeditions to Antarctica, and Admiral Richard Byrd, who led Operation Highjump, suggests that "bases" were established in Antarctica by the Nazis. They were doing something down there. Was the continent an escape for them?

Now, Obama visited Antarctica in March, and he was preceded by Patriarch Kirill of Russia. Simultaneous to Obama's visit to the South Pole, his director of CIA, James Clapper, made a secret trip to Australia, another country with heavy interest in Antarctica. Kirill offered a strange blessing of Antarctica, calling the barren land an "ideal for human kind" because there were no weapons down there or any type of science experiments. Except, we know that is not true at all: there are multiple scientific expeditions that have gone to Antarctica: this was confirmed in an interview with Richard Byrd, who said that the region would become the center of scientific inquiry directly after WW2. What did he mean by this?

Songs That Inspired Me #9

My first taste of what who was to become one of my most inspiring rock singers began with a compilation vinyl I obtained in 1981. I can't even remember where I bought the vinyl record from. But I do remember how fantastic it was. The vinyl record was 'Deepest Purple - the very best of Deep Purple'. I was well familiar with Mk II Deep Purple classics like 'Smoke On The Water', 'Strange Kind Of A Woman'. 'Speed King' etc. Each one of these could be an inspiring song in their own rights. But it was the later Deep Purple tracks that were my real inspiration.

I have chosen BURN as the song here. But it could so equally be Stormbringer. These two tracks introduced me to the incredible vocal talent which is David Coverdale. I still listen to the David Coverdale/Glenn Hughes/Tommy Bolin era tracks and love then. I can still get the same excitement from Burn as I did when I first heard it ....

Totem Bird of the Day - Reed Warbler

People who have this as their totem are often very vocal, carefree, talented and sociable. When this creature makes its appearance to you, it simply wants to tell you to express your ideas, and be more vocal about your feelings. Do not be ashamed that people will laugh at you. Mesmerise them by being your true self and show them you are not afraid to voice your true thoughts.

This creature also symbolises the use of endurance and patience. How long are you willing to wait and how far are you willing to go in order for you to achieve your dreams? Warblers can teach you those things. This animal is showing you that in order for you to succeed in life, you must be persistent and you must possess a level of tenacity to endure the trials that life will bring to you.

Believe that everything you do and every decision you make takes you a bit closer to the life that you dream of. Do not let go of that dream, believe and you will get there...read more>>>...

Thoughts to get you Thinking #58

"Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him."-- Aldous Huxley

Stepping back to review your week can offer many insights. Normally we can't see the forest for the trees. Now back away and see the whole forest. Review your week. Now write a short summary -- whatever comes to mind for you. If action is required, plan how you will accomplish it in the next week.

"Ask the experienced rather than the learned."-- Arabic proverb

"Experience is that marvellous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again."-- Franklin P. Jones

A Relationship With Self

Daily Om: The most important relationship we have in our lives is with our selves. And even though we are the only ones who are present at every moment of our lives--from birth onward--this relationship can be the most difficult one to cultivate. This may be because society places such emphasis on the importance of being in a romantic partnership, even teaching us to set aside our own needs for the needs of another. Until we know ourselves, however, we cannot possibly choose the right relationship to support our mutual growth toward our highest potential. By allowing ourselves to be comfortable with being alone, we can become the people with whom we want to have a relationship. Perhaps at no other time in history has it been possible for people to survive, and even thrive, while living alone...read more>>>...

A Gematria Insight

Gematria works on the premise that the letters of the alphabet can also be used as numbers, and therefore words and phrases acquire distinctive numerical values. A well known example is that of God, whose name spelt in Hebrew, is IHVH (יהוה). The values of these four letters are 10 - 5 - 6 - 5, thus the 'number of His name' is 26. It follows from this, by means of numerical equivalence, that God is identifiable with AHBH and AChD - Love and Unity - because the letter values of these two words sum as 1 + 5 + 2 + 5 and 1 + 8 + 4 = 26.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines gematria as, "A cabbalistic method of interpreting the Hebrew Scriptures by interchanging words whose letters have the same numerical value when added." This is actually a rather restrictive definition because gematria was every bit as important to other peoples in antiquity, and examples of its use are more common in the culture of classical Greece than in Judaism....read more>>>...

"These guys are a fantastic totem animal for people who work with balancing the chakras, or who fall out of balance very quickly.

Mysterious piece of aluminium 'could be part of ancient UFO' that visited Earth 250,000 years ago, claims investigator

Daily Mail: A piece of aluminium that looks as if it was handmade is being hailed as 250,000-year-old proof that aliens once visited Earth.

The discovery of the mysterious chunk of metal in communist Romania in 1973 was not made public at the time, according to CEN.

Testing has since revealed that the object is made of 12 metals and is 90 per cent aluminium with Romanian officials dating it as being 250,000 years old.

The initial results were later confirmed by a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland, CEN reports.Metallic aluminium was not really produced by mankind until around 200 years ago, so the discovery of the large chunk that it claimed to be up to 250,000 years old is being held up as a sensational find...read more>>>...

Accepting Our Calling

Daily Om: The issue of worthiness may come up in many areas of our lives, as we ask, often unconsciously, whether we are worthy of success, love, happiness, and countless other things, from supportive relationships to a beautiful home. In the end, though, it all comes down to one thing: our willingness to claim our space in this life as humans on this planet at this time. When we accept our divinity, we no longer question whether we are worthy, because we know that we are meant to be here to fulfill a particular purpose, a purpose that no one other than us can fulfill.

There are no replacements who can take over and live our lives for us, no other person who has had the experiences we have had, who has access to the same resources and relationships, who carries the same message to share with the world..read more>>>...

Songs That Inspired Me #8

So which song do I choose for this influential band? There are so many that have inspired me over the years. 'The Trees' ? 'Something For Nothing'? 'Afterimage' ?? 'The Spirit of Radio'? I was going to choose 'Closer To The Heart' as it was one of the first songs I heard by this band.

The band is RUSH. Another influence in my life from the mid 1980's onwards. I borrowed several audio cassettes from a friend where I would go staying at weekends. There was a magic and an enchantment about Rush from those early days. I purchased 2112 and was blown away. It was the MOVING PICTURES album when my love of Rush's music really embedded itself into my consciousness.

Hence the reason why I have chosen my favourite track off this album ...

Blind Folly

What I don't get about some factions of the human race is the endless search for superior and more advanced entities that are OUT THERE, somewhere. The countless droves of pilgrims seeking the supposed spiritual guidance from advanced races and ascended beings. So many claiming to be in daily contact with these non-human beings; supposedly receiving guidance on human experiences every day. 

Wait, wait ... let me rewind. Human beings supposedly communicating with beings that have NEVER been human beings, that have never lived on the earth plane? They are basing their perceptions and their decisions on unproven connections with beings that cannot possibly know what its like to be a human being! Come on, get real! That is crazy! That is sheer craziness. Firstly these beings are unproven as truly existing. The mind can do wonderful things and make you think crazy things. Giving yourself away to external sources is dangerous. It is almost delusional. 

On the other hand, if these beings do exist; and I am of the belief these countless people are dealing with astral entities ... then these people are dealing with something they don't know anything about! The mind can be easily fooled if you want to readily believe something. These astral forces, these mind manipulators have never been human, they WANT to be human. They CRAVE a HUMAN existence and a human form. They connect with these countless pilgrims, in my opinion, to learn what it is like to be human. They have a hidden agenda and that is not to serve those they apparently connect with.

They are not what they seem to be. They are not more advanced spiritually than human beings. We are created from a consciousness which is at the top of the pile. We represent a powerful essence of a consciousness that exists far away from this dimension. These beings may well appear top of the pile in this universe, but that is in this low level vibration. Remember, we are connected to a human skin that is made from this five sensory reality. It is not who we are. What we are is what these non-human entities wish to be. They are trying to escape this dimension and be as we are.

But we are way beyond them spiritually and it is factions of these lower vibrations that have us captured, are experimenting with us to discover what SOUL or SPIRIT is. They are deceiving us with this apparent existence. All the answers we seek are within us, not out there with these mind manipulators ... everything we need to know about human existence and human issues lies within us. We do not need these mind manipulators playing god's messengers with us. Their role in our spiritual lives is to lead us away from our true existence, towards an agenda that suits their requirements, not ours - Matthew James

"Strength lies in differences, not in similarities'

Thoughts to get you Thinking #57

"There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life."-- Frederico Fellini

In what situations have you experienced your life to the fullest? Do you live your passion as fully as you can? How do you limit your experience of passion? Passion emerges when your essence expresses itself. How do you stop yourself from fully expressing who you are?

"Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark."-- Henri Frederic Amiel

"We could hardly wait to get up in the morning."-- Wilbur Wright

Hidden Agenda

Why do we have to look outside of ourselves for guidance? Why do we have to seek external sources for wisdom and inspiration? Why deal with entities that have never had human experiences, so can't possibly know about the pathways through mortal life?

Why entrust your spiritual nature to beings that are masters at mind control and mental deception? It is not proven they really exist. They are a myth and a fable. But so many people have been captivated by the glamour and the romance of these legendary beings. Foolhardy souls place their entire life plan and life choices on unproven connections with these dangerous 'allies'. That is blind folly. That is a precarious game plan.

We have all the answers we seek within ourselves. Within the memories of our collective species. It is our spiritual reliance on unknown and invisible forces that has put us in the mess we are in. We need to simply our existence, not complicate it. There are major forces out there beyond our limited perceptions that can walk rings around us. That could make us believe anything. They will know we are naive and gullible. We are doubting of our own nature and our own judgements. Thus anything that is remotely divine or supernatural that connects with us, as an apparent ally ... will be accepted with open arms. What is the hidden agenda? Why is this non-human agency wanting to help so readily? What are the consequences when the true intentions are revealed? I fear for the sanity of those who so readily buy the bullshit that is filling their heads when they make these supposed supernatural contracts with an unknown being. They will after all never let you see them as they really are, only how you wish them to appear - Matthew James

Maintaining The Flow

Daily Om: The essence of all being is energy. Our physical and ethereal selves depend on the unrestricted flow of life energy that is the source of wholeness and wellness. Though the channels through which this energy flows are open systems and influenced by factors outside of our control, we ultimately choose what impact these will have in our lives. It is up to us to identify and clear blockages in the energy field to ensure that flow is maintained. A healthy, grounded individual absorbs some portion of the energy emitted by other people and the environment, but this does not interrupt the continuous stream of balanced energy sustaining them. The same individual copes constructively with stress and upset, and they are not subject to the stagnation that frequently goes hand in hand with negativity. When we keep the energy in and around our bodies flowing harmoniously, we are naturally healthy, vibrant, and peaceful.

Life energy flows through us like a swift stream when there is nothing to obstruct it, but various forces such as trauma, downbeat vibrations, and disappointments act like stones that impede the current. If we allow these to pile up, our life energy is thrown off its course or blocked entirely, causing illness, restlessness, and a lack of vigor. If, however, we take the time to clear these forces away, we rob them of the power to impact our lives...read more>>>...

Defining 'the metaphysical plane' and 'the astral plane'

Songs That Inspired Me #7

I remember listening to the "Friday Night Rock" Show on BBC Radio 1, it would have been in the early 1980's. Tommy Vance introduced a new track by German Rockers, The Scorpions, a rock band I'd not heard of prior to that particular evening's radio show.

The track was "Make It Real".

I would always record a selection of songs on tape from each episode of the Friday Night Rock Show. "Make It Real"became a firm favourite track of mine ever since that first hearing. It inspired me to 'get into' the Scorpions and Animal Magnetism was the first album I ever purchased by The Scorpions. Here we are over 30 years later, I have every Scorpions album and I have seen The Scorpions live in concert, and I still enjoy listening to Make It Real and all the other incredible tracks to this day.

It was "Make It Real" that introduced me to this mighty rock band.  

Clinton’s FBI Files Literally Mention “The Shadow Government” at the State Dept. Wow.

Bill Clinton once reportedly told senior White House reporter Sarah McClendon, “Sarah, there’s a government inside the government, and I don’t control it.” Average citizens who talk about things like that, however, are typically referred to as “Conspiracy Theorists” as if its a pejorative term.

Then again, how much of a conspiracy is it when the FBI’s own documents confirm the existence of something referred to as “The Shadow Government”?...read more>>>..

Are You Feeling An Emotional Low?

If you are faced with an untimely low ebb of emotions at this time; having hit the bottom of the casket of vitality. Know you are likely to not be on your own. It is not a cataclysmic set of events that you can claim to be yours, and yours alone. There are many, many others experiencing this tide of depressing thoughts at this time. And depressing is the perfect word to describe this state of mind. 

Having been on a 90% a few months ago, it is sad to feel this all time record 10% low. The question you would have been asking yourself was 'how'? And 'why'? And no doubt 'why me'? Being in a separated universe to everyone else, like all the human race, you would have thought this feeling was being felt by you and you alone. Let me into a little secret I've been feeling it too and many other people I've been interacting with in recent weeks. Life appears to have come to a distinct standstill for so many at this time. It is inexplicable and distinctly unexplainable. It appears to be something in the air, or in the water, or in the food. It is a mind set that so many have slipped into, but a mind set so few can get out of. 

But what is it? Is it valid evidence of a conspiracy theory? Are THEY dumbing us down and suppressing us with these deadly emotions? Some of us will be feeling suicidal with this emotional low right now. Many of us can't shake off this depressing feeling of doom and gloom. It has been caused by something significant for so many people to suddenly thinking in the same negative way. It is not something to be dismissed lightly. The consequences and future effects are what need to be considered. Are they going to continue? Will they ever end? Is this the way we are going to feel from now? Is it going to get only worse? Will we ever get to feel 90% again? Can we climb back up to those wonderfully energetic levels? Or is that effervescent experience now gone forever?

Its like this is a different world to how it was 12-15 months ago. So much appears to have been lost. It has crept up on us when we weren't looking and struck us down. Gradually lowering our resistance to depression. Bringing these shit feelings onto us like it is how we are supposed to feel. Understand what I mean? 

It sounds crazy but it is like we are being forced into a long dark night of the soul enmasse. Like it is now programmed into our DNA. It seems to be those who are sensitive and empathetic who are feeling it the most. Like an enchantment that has taken over our thought processes. An enchantment that sadly has control of our lives at the moment - Matthew James

Afraid of the Truth

Daily Om: Most of us have had the experience of being in possession of a piece of truth that we were afraid to share because we knew it would not be well received. There are also instances in which we ourselves have been unable to handle some truth confronting us. This might be a small truth, such as not wanting to see that our car needs repairs because we don’t want to pay for them, or a large truth, such as not fully accepting that someone close to us is pushing us away. Usually the truth is evident, and we can see it if we choose, but we have elaborate ways of hiding the truth from ourselves, no matter how apparent it is.

For the most part, we avoid the truth because it scares us, or makes us angry, or makes us feel like we don’t know what to do. We often create our lives based on a particular understanding, and if that understanding turns out to be fully or even partially incorrect, we may feel that our whole sense of reality is being threatened. It takes a strong person to face the truth in circumstances like these, and many of us run for cover instead...read more>>>...

The Reality of Shape-shifting

First of all, no matter what you do you are not going to physically turn into an animal, so just drop that idea right now. 

But, Shape-shifting is a reality though. It is done through creative visualisation so that you may carry the power and abilities of an animal with you when you need it. Drawing the courage of a lion in the face of adversity is an example where you can draw on the power of an animal spirit in such a way.

Shape-shifting is also a way of getting to know an animal better (the old walk a mile in their shoes bit or perhaps in this case it should be paws....) Finally shape-shifting allows you to take on animal form while on shamanic journeys or while you visit the astral plane.

To learn to shape-shift you should be in a place where you can meditate, but where there is enough room to move around. You should be dressed comfortably (or undressed comfortably, if that is your preference) so that you may move freely. Relax, close your eyes, call and greet the animal spirit you wish to shape-shift to. Let yourself become that animal in posture, stance, movement and sound. How does this animal see, hear, taste, touch, smell? What is it experiencing? Move as it would move. Become it with all the abandon of a small child. Experience it as long as you wish. When you choose thank the animal spirit that has helped guide you in learning its ways and then return to your human body...read more>>>...

Remember, You Are Powerful

What a crazy world we live in ... this has been said so many times before, and will no doubt be said again, and again, and again. With so many different viewpoints, differing opinions and perceptions how can any of us make any headway? Why is it so easy to rule mankind by way of this crazy and chaotic state of confusion which the world is in? 

It is because we allow it to be this way.

We all forget that we all live in a unique version of the material world. We have all been separated from each other. We may interact with each other, but it is from afar. It is in a distorted and delusional way. Our unique aspects of universal consciousness are never permitted to merge and embrace each other. When we do embrace it is courtesy of a limited five sensory experience that the human skin around our divine spark permits us to have. It is extremely rare for any of us to truly experience the merging of consciousness with consciousness.

This crazy world is most definitely a prison of controlled limited experiences. We are controlled by a energy force that is extremely scared of us and has to keep us all separated from each other in order to keep us under its enslavement. It has to poison the human skins, and constantly watch us 24/7 to see what we are up to. It is very insecure. It has devised religion and politics and money and laws to control us. It has created fears and insecurities to limit our perceptions. 

It can barely contain us. It is therefore not that powerful. We make it powerful by thinking it is powerful. We give it power by thinking ourselves inferior and helpless. It feeds this feeling of helplessness by feeding us lies about our origins and our capabilities. We can turn this on its head by changing the way we view ourselves. Each one of us may be a separate version of the world, but in each one of us everyone else exists. We are in a holographic reality in which only ONE entity exists. We are all that one entity. We are its multiple personalities all interacting with each other. Each personality thinks it is unique and separate from all the others. That is what an entity has us believe. But that entity has been deceiving us. It is time to connect with all the other parts within ourselves to make our way back to the one. Once back as the one this nightmare must come to an end.

This other one ... this predatory entity that feeds off our fear and deceives us about our true nature has one powerful weapon in its arsenal and that is the false ego - the selfish separate self. The false ego is groomed from an early age and we are fooled by the surroundings into thinking this is who we are. It is not who we are. It is the false identity given to us within this virtual world. This memory world. It is not who we are. It is a fake. It is a sham. 

It is time to forget all that you are told to be, and to remember who are meant to be. By remembering your true self ... you become powerful. You become a threat to the predatory entity ... it is afraid of you remembering who and what you really are.

Our drinking water contains massive doses of prescription drugs

Natural News: If you drink tap water, there's a good chance you're taking in all sorts of pharmaceutical drugs at the same time. Massive doses of prescription drugs pass through people's bodies and into the sewage system. These chemicals are very stable and make their way back into the water supply, unchanged. If you don't use appropriate, lab-validated water filters, you could be drinking a bizarre cocktail of drugs on a daily basis. Without even knowing it, you could be taking birth control, statins, SSRIs, psychotics, or any other popular chemical that is now pervasive in the water supply.

Showing Up For Life

Daily Om: The way we walk into a room says a lot about the way we live our lives. When we walk into a room curious about what’s happening, willing to engage, and perceiving ourselves as an active participant with something to offer, then we have really shown up to the party. When we walk into a room with our eyes down, or nervously smiling, we are holding ourselves back for one reason or another. We may be hurting inside and in need of healing, or we may lack the confidence required to really be present in the room. Still, just noticing that we’re not really showing up, and having a vision of what it will look and feel like when we do, can give us the inspiration we need to recover ourselves.

Even if we are suffering, we can show up to that experience ready to fully engage in it and learn what it has to offer. When we show up for our life, we are actively participating in being a happy person, achieving our goals, and generally living the life our soul really wants. If we need healing, we begin the process of seeking out those who can help us heal. If we need experience, we find the places and opportunities that can give us the experience we need in order to do the work we want to do in the world...read more>>>...

Black Swan Medicine

[Wildspeak]: While some animals will emphasis the ability to love more than one partner at once (like Fairy Wren), the black swan places an emphasis on the healing capacity of monogamy and equality within a partnership between two people. Like swans, we live in a world where monogamy is accepted, but swan encourages us to take it one step further and look at why and how it helps us as a way of life and living.

Black swan, like all swans, teaches us how to protect our loved ones. Everyone has instincts within them to love and protect who they love, even if we all have different ways of showing it. The ability to protect those we care for is a gift and an ability, black swan emphasises it.

Sometimes people challenge us, sometimes they annoy us, but sometimes they are just a source of enjoyment and companionship.

It's not always about pushing yourself further, or progress, sometimes it's about stopping for a while to savour some happiness and tenderness.

Songs That Inspired Me #6

Mutually Assured Destruction -  (MAD) is a doctrine of military strategy and national security policy in which a full-scale use of nuclear weapons by two or more opposing sides would cause the complete annihilation of both the attacker and the defender 

A song that sadly has so much relevance now, as much perhaps as when it was released as a single in 1981. This song has always been a favourite of mine for the big, big voice of Ian Gillan. I remember the fear and wonder the content of this song generated as I went through my teenage years. It remains to this day a favourite song, a Gillan classic.

Great Pyramid Find: Two Mysterious Cavities With Unusual Features

The Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, has long been rumoured to contain hidden passageways leading to secret chambers. Now a team of researchers has confirmed the 4,500-year-old pharaonic mausoleum contains two unknown cavities, possibly hiding a corridor-like structure and more mysterious features.

The announcement by the ScanPyramids project comes at the end of a year-long effort to use various scanning technology on Old Kingdom pyramids, including the Great Pyramid, Khafre or Chephren at Giza, the Bent pyramid and the Red pyramid at Dahshur.

Carried out by a team from Cairo University's Faculty of Engineering and the Paris-based non-profit organization Heritage, Innovation and Preservation (HIP Institute) under the authority of the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, the ScanPyramids project used three innovative techniques — muography, thermography and 3-D simulation — to deeply investigate the Great Pyramid of Giza.

An unknown cavity was detected at a height of about 345 feet from the ground on the northeastern edge of the monument, while a "void" was found behind the northern side at the upper part of the entrance gate.

"Such void is shaped like a corridor and could go up inside the pyramid," Mehdi Tayoubi, founder of the Paris-based Heritage Innovation Preservation Institute, told Seeker...read more>>>...

He added that no link can be made between the two cavities at the moment.
