UFO Disclosure Debate

UFO investigators and researchers have a burning desire not only to educate the public about UFOs, but also point out the importance of being ready just in case "it" really happens. The "it" being contact from intelligent beings not of this world.

Just as scientists and military hardware personnel struggle to have an adequate response to a large meteor heading straight to Earth, Ufologists attempt to involve the powers to be in being ready just in case an intelligent race of aliens from another planet did decide to make themselves known to the populace of Earth.

Science, at this time, just won't involve themselves in this possibility. And, if the military is considering the possibility, they are not telling us about it.

The public has a right to know what the government knows about UFOs, and should reinitiate their research on the subject, and release more top-secret documents to the general public. If the citizenship of America can handle issues as delicate and controversial as war on foreign soil, and the loss of our young men and women, we can handle the truth about UFOs. Top government officials, including science advisors, stand hard against public disclosure, and view the UFO mystery as a frivolous matter.

Today, even though the government has ended funding for the original SETI project, this endeavor is important enough to be driven by private donations from interested, generous individuals. It is an important paradox that so many private citizens feel that the search for extraterrestrial intelligence is important enough to open their wallets to its cause, and yet the government will not match their enthusiasm. At least, this is the official stand. But who knows what really goes on at top secret installations like Area 51, and others. It is a proven fact that a number of top secret aircraft had their birth there, so why not also house the important task of contacting other worlds with intelligent beings there also? Or, is this already the case?

Officially, the United States Air Force discontinued its Project Blue Book in 1969, citing the reason that UFOs did not present any threat to national security. This statement was taken by many to mean that there was nothing to the many, well documented cases of UFO sightings. Most of them could easily be explained by everyday means. Although the Air Force did have a small number of "unexplained" cases, their reasons for scrapping the entire project was only that no security issues were at stake. This, in itself, may mean only that; this does not necessarily mean that there is nothing to UFOs at all. Many documents exist today, still hidden under the veil of national security, that hold evidence that only a small group of elite, well chosen individuals have seen. These highly select individuals are a modern version of Majestic 12, and other similar groups that have had this information passed down to them through the years.

How important are these files? What mysterious secrets are kept under deep guard?

Those who claim that the lack of evidence for the reality of UFOs dictates a total disregard of the subject, are taking a great risk. If there is a clandestine operation for preparation for the landing of a UFO in public view, who should know? Is this issue so sensitive that only a handful of top rate scientists and researchers should hold this evidence to themselves? Should the fate of so many be put in the hands of so few?

If an extraterrestrial intelligence did contact the government of the United States, what would be the course of action? And can we be so arrogant to believe that the United States would be their target?


Maybe they would contact another country or countries, or possibly follow the script of "The Day the Earth Stood Still," and desire a forum of leaders of all countries of Planet Earth. Should this happen, we would disappoint them for certain. Could there be at present, a joint effort among countries of the world to resolve issues dealing with contact?

Many individuals and groups picket for an open release of all documents and secrets kept by our government dealing with UFO and Alien contact. How much should we know? Maybe not everything, but at least let us in on part of what is happening with this critical issue.

Admittedly, there is information that should be kept from public knowledge, but we the citizens of this country have a right to know at least that contact has been made, and whether or not this contact has any negative implications. If there is cause for concern, we have a right to know.

The results of the airing of the 1939 radio hoax by Orson Welles, "War of the Worlds," cannot be forgotten. It must be remembered, however, that the cause of the panic that night was the fact that what was announced came without any warning or foreknowledge. The citizens of all countries deserve some knowledge of what is happening in this area of investigation.

Although there may be some panic among our citizens upon a "first contact" announcement, if some representative citizens were allowed to be involved in the behind the scenes workings of our government in this area, some knowledge could be imparted to the "everyday" person, which would allay some public fear inherent with this possible earth shaking event.

The opinion to withhold information from the general public is based on the following viewpoint.

We know that it a fact that all men were not created equal. This is not to demean, but to make a very important point. All individuals have certain talents and abilities; some in one area, and some in another.

That being said, it is noteworthy to stress that an average, everyday citizen cannot be involved with national security issues, and sensitive government secrets belong in the hands of only those who have the education and experience to make decisions for all citizens based on events as they happen. Think what may have happened if there was public knowledge of "little boy" before the Enola Gay dropped its payload on Hiroshima, which began the end for Japan in World War II. It's like they say, "loose lips sink ships."

Most definitely, if the government is holding the secrets of alien contact, great restraint should be taken before sharing this knowledge with anyone not qualified to intelligently deal with all of its implications.

The deep secrets of UFO and Alien contact belong right where they are today, in the hands of a small, well qualified group of chosen officials. The citizenry does not need to know everything. The government is sworn to protect its citizens, and this can best be accomplished by deciding what stays under lock and key, and what is offered for public consumption.

This attitude is exactly why there is such a distinction between having a government "for the people," and a government "by the people." We have given everything we have for our country, and have an inalienable right to know the truth. Let us have it, we'll find a way to deal with it. Listen to us, "we the people."

Scottish GPs Go Herbal

A new study, appearing in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, found that 60 percent of Scottish doctors prescribe homeopathic or herbal remedies for their patients, with many scripts being written for babies and children under 16. The surprisingly high figure has caused concern in the UK's National Health Service, which has called for a critical review of homeopathic and herbal prescribing.

The study, from the University of Aberdeen, analyzed official prescribing data for nearly 2 million patients from 2003-4. The key findings included:

Four percent of patients prescribed a herbal remedy were, at the same time, prescribed conventional medication that has been documented to interact with herbal treatments.
Children under 12 months were most likely to be prescribed a homeopathic or herbal remedy (9.5 per 1,000 children in that age group), followed by adults aged 81-90 (4.5 per 1,000). Sixteen percent of homeopathic prescribing was to children under 16.
Forty-nine percent of practices prescribed a total of 193 different homeopathic remedies and 32 percent prescribed 17 different herbal remedies.
The top five prescribed homeopathic remedies were Arnica montana (for injury, bruising), Rhus toxicodendron (joint symptoms, headache), Cuprum metallicum (cramp, poor circulation), Pulsatilla (PMT, menopausal symptoms, breast feeding problems) and Sepia (PMT, menopausal symptoms, fatigue).
The top five prescribed herbal remedies were: Gentian (poor appetite, digestive problems), Cranberry (urinary tract infection), Digestodoron (indigestion, heartburn, constipation), Evening primrose (PMT) and Laxadoron (constipation).
"This level of prescribing raises important questions about homeopathic and herbal provision in the UK's National Health Service," said study co-author Dr James McLay, of the University of Aberdeen. He cited the absence of any clinical evidence for the effectiveness of homeopathy as a significant problem. "Given the rise of evidence-based medicine and the trend toward prescribing guidance in the UK, should therapies with no convincing positive clinical trial evidence be prescribed and funded by the health service?"

The large number of alternative prescriptions written for children and babies underscores the need for a critical review of the trend, adds McLay. "We hope that this paper will further inform the debate, as it provides clear evidence on prescribing patterns within the NHS [National Health Service] and raises a number of important issues, particularly about prescribing homeopathic and herbal remedies to children," he concluded.

Antidepressant Effects Of Semen

Semen makes you happy. That's the remarkable conclusion of a study comparing women whose partners wear condoms with those whose partners don't.

The study, which is bound to provoke controversy, showed that the women who were directly exposed to semen were less depressed. The researchers think this is because mood-altering hormones in semen are absorbed through the vagina. They say they have ruled out other explanations.

"I want to make it clear that we are not advocating that people abstain from using condoms," says Gordon Gallup, the psychologist at the State University of New York who led the team. "Clearly an unwanted pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease would more than offset any advantageous psychological effects of semen."

Suicide attempts
His team divided 293 female students into groups depending on how often their partners wore condoms, and assessed their happiness using the Beck Depression Inventory, a standard questionnaire for assessing mood. People who score over 17 are considered moderately depressed.

The team found that women whose partners never used condoms scored 8 on average, those who sometimes used them scored 10.5, those who usually used them scored 15 and those who always used them scored 11.3. Women who weren't having sex at all scored 13.5.

What's more, the longer the interval since they last had sex, the more depressed the women who never or sometimes used condoms got. But the time since the last sexual encounter made no difference to the mood of women who usually or always used condoms.

The team also found that depressive symptoms and suicide attempts were more common among women who used condoms regularly compared with those who didn't. The results will appear in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior.

And Gallup told New Scientist that his team already has unpublished data from a larger group of 700 women confirming these findings. In this study, the always-use-condoms group were more depressed than the usually-use-condoms group, suggesting the discrepancy in the smaller study was a sampling error, he says.

Alternative explanations
But is it really the semen that affects women's mood? The researchers say they looked at alternative explanations such as whether women who seldom use condoms took oral contraceptives, how often they had sex, the strength of relationships, and the possibility that having a certain type of personality influenced the decision to use condoms. But none of these factors can explain their findings, they say.

In fact, the results aren't a complete surprise because semen does contain several mood-altering hormones, including testosterone, oestrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, prolactin and several different prostaglandins. Some of these have been detected in a women's blood within hours of exposure to semen.

The question many people will ask is whether oral sex could have the same mood-enhancing effects. "Since the steroids in birth control pills survive the digestion process, I would assume that the same holds true for at least some of the chemicals in semen," Gallup says.

"I understand that among some gay males who have anal intercourse, it is not uncommon to attempt to retain the semen for extended periods of time," he adds. "Suggesting, of course, that there may be psychological effects." But further research will be needed to confirm whether exposure to semen through oral or anal sex really does affect mood in heterosexual or homosexual partners.

But why should semen have such an effect? "It makes no sense to me for this phenomenon to have evolved," says Satoshi Kanazawa, an evolutionary psychologist at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. But Gallup counters that men whose semen promotes long-term mood enhancement might have more chances to indulge in sexual activity.

Ancient Machine Deciphered

Scientists have finally demystified the incredible workings of a 2,000-year-old astronomical calculator built by ancient Greeks.

A new analysis of the Antikythera Mechanism [image], a clock-like machine consisting of more than 30 precise, hand-cut bronze gears, show it to be more advanced than previously thought—so much so that nothing comparable was built for another thousand years.

"This device is just extraordinary, the only thing of its kind," said study leader Mike Edmunds of Cardiff University in the UK. "The design is beautiful, the astronomy is exactly right…In terms of historical and scarcity value, I have to regard this mechanism as being more valuable than the Mona Lisa."

The researchers used three-dimensional X-ray scanners to reconstruct the workings of the device's gears and high-resolution surface imaging to enhance faded inscriptions on its surface.

Precise astronomy

The new analysis reveals that the device's front dials [image] had pointers for the sun and Moon—called the "golden little sphere" and "little sphere," respectively—and markings which coincided with the zodiac and solar calendars. The back dials [image], meanwhile, appear to have been used for predicting solar and lunar eclipses [image].

The researchers also show that the device could mechanically replicate the irregular motions of the Moon, caused by its elliptical orbit around the Earth, using a clever design involving two superimposed gear-wheels, one slightly off-center, that are connected by a pin-and-slot device.

The team was also able to pin down the device's construction date more precisely. Radiocarbon dating suggested it was built around 65 BC, but newly revealed lettering on the machine indicate a slightly older construction date of 150 to 100 BC. The team's reconstruction also involves 37 gear wheels, seven of which are hypothetical.

"In the face of fragmentary material evidence, such guesswork is inevitable. But the new model is highly seductive, and convincing in all of its detail," wrote Francois Charette, a researcher at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Germany who was not involved in the study, in a related article in the journal Nature.

Discovered in 1900

Pieces of the ancient calculating machine were discovered by sponge divers exploring the remains of an ancient shipwreck off the tiny island of Antikythera in 1900. For decades, scientists have been trying to figure out how the device's 80 fragmented pieces [image] fit together and unlock its workings.

Previous reconstructions suggested the Antikythera Mechanism was about the size of a shoebox, with dials on the outside and a complex assembly of bronze gear wheels within. By winding a knob on its side, the positions of the sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus could be determined for any chosen date. Newly revealed inscriptions also appear to confirm previous speculations that the device could also calculate the positions of Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—the other planets known at the time.

The international team, led by Edmunds and Tony Freeth, also of Cardiff University, included astronomers, mathematicians, computer experts, script analysts and conservation experts from the UK, Greece and the United States.

The researchers plan to create a computer model of how the Antikythera Mechanism worked and eventually a working replica.

The team's findings will be presented in a two-day international conference in Athens and published in the Nov. 30 issue of the journal Nature.

The Asclepius

Long before John allegedly wrote the Apocalypse on the island of Patmos, an unknown Egyptian wrote down the Lament, which some have titled “The Apocalypse”, for it prophesized the demise of the Egyptian religion. The Asclepius is sometimes not treated as part of the Corpus Hermeticum, as its Greek text was lost and it is only partially preserved in Latin. Some have described it as “one of the most moving passages of prose I have read from Classical Antiquity”. It predicted that “there will come a time when it will be seen that in vain have the Egyptians honoured the divinity with a pious mind and with assiduous service. All their holy worship will become inefficacious.” It predicted the end of the world – the Egyptian world.

“Do you not know, Asclepius, that Egypt is an image of heaven or, to be more precise, that everything governed and moved in heaven came down to Egypt and was transferred there? If truth were told, our land is the temple of the whole world.” It is one of the most quoted relatively ancient Egyptian texts, though it is actually part of the Corpus Hermeticum and thus by some to be considered not Egyptian at all. It is the “extended and unabridged edition” of the dictum “as above, so below”. Some have labelled this the summary of the entire system of traditional and modern magic, while others believe it holds the key to all mysteries. It suggests that the macrocosmos was reflected in the microcosmos, a concept which formed the basis of astrology. For Robert Bauval, Wim Zitman and many others, it meant that Egypt’s monuments (read: pyramids) were earthly representations of the heavens, specifically creating a correspondence between the layout of the stars in the sky and the pyramids on Earth. For philosophers, it means that God was not some distant entity, but that God was the same as man, and man was God, each of us containing a divine spark. Most importantly, it also formed the backbone of magic, as it worked with correspondences. An act that was done here on Earth, had a correspondence in Heaven; asking a statue of a god on Earth was delivered to that god above.
Everything was interrelated and interdependent. The purpose of all rituals in ceremonial magic was – and is – to unite the microcosm with the macrocosm, to join God, or the gods, when invoked (prayer or concentrated thought) with human consciousness. When such a supreme union was achieved, the subject and object became one. The magician felt that he was consciously in touch with all elements of the universe, therefore, he could control them. Authors like Jeremy Naydler have made it clear that the Egyptians expected nothing more, nothing less and nothing but, from their Pharaoh: to be a bridge between this world and the divine realm, to balance both and channel the lower things upwards and the higher things downwards. It led to a highly proscribed and ritualised lifestyle, with little room for deviation from that which was required to happen. It was a careful balance that had to be maintained at all cost, for the welfare of the nation.

Egypt was a land of magic: it was meant to be an image of heaven and the Egyptians had always tried to do their utmost to make it so. But things were not about to last; the Lament spoke of a dark future – a vision of the apocalypse, when Egypt as the ancient Egyptians knew it would no longer be: “And yet, since it befits the wise to know all things in advance, of this you must not remain ignorant: a time will come when it will appear that the Egyptians paid respect to divinity with faithful mind and painstaking reverence – to no purpose. All their holy worship will be disappointed and perish without effect, for divinity will return from Earth to Heaven, and Egypt will be abandoned. The land that was the seat of reverence will be widowed by the powers and left destitute of their presence. When foreigners occupy the land and territory, not only will reverence fall into neglect but, even harder, a prohibition under penalty prescribed by law (so-called) will be enacted against reverence, fidelity and divine worship. Then this most holy land, seat of shrines and temples, will be filled completely with tombs and corpses.”
And so it happened. Today, Egypt is indeed nothing but tombs and corpses, with Egyptology a science that is purely interested in the tombs and corpses, with only the most minimal of attention paid to the Egyptian religion, if at all. Indeed, today, most argue that the ancient Egyptian civilisation was impressive, but that their religion was ignorant of modern philosophical frameworks; several academics label the ancient Egyptian mindset as little better than primitive or one step beyond “savages”.
We stand in awe of the temples and the statues of Horus in front of the Temple of Edfu, but we see nothing but a statue. In ancient Egyptian times, these statues were seen as being alive, animated – holding the spirit of the deity – being the deity – represented on Earth. But now the statues are indeed silent and “divinity has returned from Earth to Heaven”. The bond between Heaven and Earth, so central to the ancient Egyptian mind, has been broken and nothing but a dead landscape remains. Whereas the Lament is at pains to explain that, as unlikely it may seem for the ancient Egyptian that this will happen, for modern man, it is as unlikely to imagine that a stone statue was once believed to be a living entity, an earthly residence for a god, somehow “alive”.
Indeed, “0 Egypt, Egypt, of your reverent deeds only stories will survive, and they will be incredible to your children! Only words cut in stone will survive to tell your faithful works, and the Scythian or Indian or some such neighbour barbarian will dwell in Egypt.” Indeed.

As sad as this was, this was not the end of it. “Why weep, O Asclepius? Egypt will be carried away to worse things than this; she will be polluted with yet graver crimes. She, hitherto most holy, who so much loved the gods, only country of the Earth where the gods made their home in return for her devotion, she who taught men holiness and piety, will give example of the most atrocious cruelty, in that hour, weary of life, men will no longer regard the world as worthy object of their admiration and reverence.” Egypt was seen as the land where the gods dwelled. It was the only land in the world where the gods dwelled. And they dwelled in Egypt, for it was there that they were worshipped by the people; it was a symbiotic link.
We do not understand the ancient world, and that is indeed what the Lament prophesized: “This All, which is a good thing, the best that can be seen in the past, the present and the future, will be in danger of perishing; men will esteem it a burden; and then they will despise and no longer cherish this whole of the universe, incomparable work of God, glorious construction, good creation made up of an infinite diversity of forms, instrument of the will of God who, without envy, pours forth his favour on all his work, in which is assembled in one whole, in a harmonious diversity, all that can be seen that is worthy of reverence, praise and love. For darkness will be preferred to light; it will be thought better to die than to live; none will raise his eyes towards heaven; the pious man will be thought mad, the impious, wise; the frenzied will be thought brave, the worst criminal a good man.” This is very much a description of our times (and previous centuries), in which the foundation of the ancient world was abandoned. Ancient man saw its role on Earth as a contemplation of the divine creation, to admire God’s work and be part of it, and trying to sustain it. That harmony – balance – has now been abandoned, and it is of course one of the reasons why the gods left. The Lament gives a description of the philosophy involved in this ancient mindset: “The soul and all the beliefs attached to it, according to which the soul is immortal by nature or foresees that it can obtain immortality as I have taught you – this will be laughed at and thought nonsense.” The immortality of the soul was another teaching (treatise) of the Corpus, which had preceded the Asclepius. As it predicted the future, like John’s Apocalypse, it was positioned last in the Corpus Hermeticum.
The abandonment of the ancient Egyptian religion is our present era, but the prophecy itself applies to events that have occurred in our parts: the advent of Christianity. This radically altered the philosophical landscape, pushing aside the Egyptian framework, claiming that eternal damnation is what is in stall for us, unless we embrace Christianity. Such simplistic thinking was seen by the ancient Egyptians as “the darkness”, as its philosophy was not only considered to be basic, but plain wrong. And it happened with Emperor Constantius, one of Constantine the Great's sons and successors, who issued a decree in 353 AD which ordered temples to be closed and pagan sacrifices to be banned; those who disobeyed the law were to be put to death, thus fulfilling the prophecy: “And believe me, it will be considered a capital crime under the law to give oneself to the religion of the mind. A new justice will be created and new laws. Nothing holy, nothing pious, nothing worthy of heaven and of the gods who dwell there, will be any more spoken of nor will find credence in the soul.” By the time some freedom came back under Muslim rule, the nightmare – the apocalypse – had happened: “The gods will separate themselves from men, deplorable divorce.” The dictum “as above, so below” no longer applied and Egypt became the wasteland.

The Lament does not stop there and it moves into “post apocalyptic times”: “Only the evil angels will remain, who will mingle with men, and constrain them by violence – miserable creatures – to all the excesses of criminal audacity, engaging them in wars, brigandage, frauds, and in everything which is contrary to the nature of the soul.” But there is worse to come, and it is perhaps here that we see a prediction for our times: “Then the earth will lose its equilibrium, the sea will no longer be navigable, the heaven will no longer be full of stars, the stars will stop their courses in the heaven. Every divine voice will be silenced, and will be silent. The fruits of the Earth will molder, the soil will be no longer fertile, the air itself will grow thick with a lugubrious torpor. Such will be the old age of the world, irreligion, disorder, confusion of all goods.” The prophecy clearly states that as the contact with the gods is lost, Mankind is left to fend for his own, and makes a total mess of it, destroying the Earth, polluting the air. Worst of all, for the ancient Egyptians, it seems is the light pollution, as the “heaven will no longer be full of stars”, those bright sparks in the night’s sky that for them was the most visual blackboard against which the divine myths were projected. And then? “When all these things have come to pass, O Asclepius, then the Lord and Father, the god first in power and the demiurge of the One God, having considered these customs and voluntary crimes, endeavouring by
his will, which is the divine will, to bar the way to vices and universal corruption and to correct errors, he will annihilate all malice, either by effacing it in a deluge or by consuming it by fire, or destroying it by pestilential maladies diffused in many places.” That, it seems, is our “end of times”, a world ended by water or fire, in which the vice of the world is washed or burned away – the “true” apocalypse, the one spoken of by John in the Bible: the end of the world – this world – and the birth of a new world: “Then he will bring back the world to its first beauty, so that this world may again be worthy of reverence and admiration, and that God also, creator end restorer of so great a work, may be glorified by the men who shall live then in continual hymns of praise and benedictions. That is what the rebirth of the world will be: a renewal of all good things, a holy and most solemn restoration of Nature herself, imposed by force in the course of time… by the will of God.” A new hope.

There is much in the Lament that is difficult to understand and our modern mind is ill-equipped to comprehend. That is, in fact, exactly what Hermes is saying in this dialogue – though it is largely a monologue – to Asclepius. But there are some hints. The ancient Egyptians stated that their ancient statues were alive and even were able to walk – a preposterous notion to us, as we all “know” that tons of rock on a pedestal are impossible to move of its own accord, if only because these deities who were believed to inhabit them, actually do not exist, right? Still, “walking Egyptian statues” are rare, but not unheard of, it seems. Approximately a year ago, a Scandinavian museum made headline news when it reported that staff found that over a period of time, sometimes as little as a night or a day, some Egyptian statues in a glass cabinet on display in the museum had moved. Each time they repositioned them, but soon after, they had moved again and soon, staff ruled out any human interference; the statues somehow moved of their own accord, very much like ancient Egyptian statues apparently did.
What about speaking statues? Lynn Picknett once spoke about a visit to the British Museum, in which she saw a woman offering some fine desert sand in front of one of the Sekhmet statues in its collection. She enquired why the visitor did this and she replied that on a previous visit to the museum, the visitor had wondered whether these statues were happy, so far away from home, upon which the statue apparently answered that yes, it was, but what it missed most was the Egyptian sand. After a visit to Egypt, the visitor brought back some sand and deposited it in front of the statue, so that it would no longer be unhappy. The ravings of a mad visitor to the British Museum? Perhaps, or perhaps someone who somehow was able to communicate with the “energy” of these statues, like the ancient Egyptians claimed to do. Indeed, the notion that the ancient Egyptian mind was wired differently and that this explains their widely different interpretation of reality has been explored by some, and perhaps most prominently by Julian Jaynes in The Bicameral Brain. Jaynes came to the conclusion that most of the people in these archaic cultures were not subjectively conscious as we understand it today. He declared that “there is in general no consciousness in the iliad.” Analysing Homer's epic, Jaynes came to the conclusion that “the characters of the Trojan siege did not have conscious minds, no introspection, as we know it in the modern human”. Jaynes was unwilling to attach any factual reality to the existence of these deities, instead claiming that a different organisation of our brain resulted in parts of our brain being interpreted as if they were voices coming from somewhere else – and hence labelled gods. He stated that the theocracies of the ancient world were the only means for a bicameral civilization to survive. Circumventing chaos, these rigid hierarchies allowed for "lesser men hallucinating the voices of authorities over them, and those authorities hallucinating yet higher ones, and so" to kings and gods. According to Jaynes, "the idols of a bicameral world are the carefully tended centers of social control, with auditory hallucinations instead of pheromones."
This would imply that for the ancient Egyptians, these gods would have “felt” real, even though they were not. Jaynes’ theory remains highly controversial and though he was a professor of psychology at Princeton, the “bicameral mind” is not the accepted scientific point of view on the issue. Which means that for most – and us – that the ancient Egyptians believed that the ancient Egyptian gods were real, and not a figment of their imagination. And the best evidence for this, is magic.

The gods were called upon and asked to manifest themselves. This was done via a ritual, which involved the invocation of the First Time, which was seen as an existence outside of this reality, comparable to the world of archetypes as defined by Carl Jung. The magician tapped into this pool and re-enacted archetypical scenarios. These scenarios – templates – are known to us, as they are, for example, the story of the battle of Horus against Seth. In the ritual, an image of the god that was called upon was made. Then, the “opening of the mouth” was performed, by reciting certain words of power, which meant that the image became filled with the presence of the god. The statue was his residence.
Not only gods resided in statues. Statues of the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs were believed to hold his ka. The ka was a spiritual double and was born with every man and lived on after he died as long as it had a place to live. Of course, the body was mummified to try and preserve this, but it could also apparently be transferred onto something else, like an “artificial body”: a statue. The “opening of the mouth” ceremony performed on the deceased Pharaoh was precisely linked with tying the ka to its Earthly residence… and it is also the inspiration for the so-called mummy’s curse, which would become popular in the late 19th century.
The story of visualising the gods by continued thought is similar to the biblical story of Jacob praying to his angel, who finally, after much concentrated thought, manifests himself. Jacob too challenges and fights with his angel, before he gets from that angel what he wants. The “guardian angel” in ancient Egypt was often referred to as the ka: it was the conscience or guide of each individual and in Asclepius’ dialogue with Hermes, we should perhaps see this as an inner dialogue, of Asclepius talking to his “guardian angel” and guide – an archetype, Hermes.

“Archetypical magic” is still used today: in war, the home nation is identified as the land of “good” and the enemy is identified as the “evil empire”, linked with Satan, a Christian adaptation of Seth. The ancient Egyptian templates, archetypes, still exist today and remain widely used, though seldom pointed out.
Once the link between magician and entity (the deity) was established, the link had to be maintained. Often, this was pure bullying: the magicians threatened the gods if they did not do what they were asked to do… that they would no longer be worshipped. It shows a mutual relationship, which is vastly different from what many Egyptologists or people like Jaynes believe. They often suggest that the ancient Egyptians were fearful of their gods, whereas that is definitely not the case: it was a symbiosis of Egypt with higher powers, in which both were better off: the archetypes were “energised” by the worship and in return, their energy was asked to be applied (channelled) to the benefit of the nation.
The ancient Egyptians stated that the human magical act resulted in “heka”, the cosmic energy, which was meant to flow. The Lament suggests that this energy solidified, when the gods were no longer worshipped – it blocked up and Heaven and Earth separated.
Jung was an adapt of ancient mythology and magic and he wrote about manifestations of the archetypes into our reality (e.g. he interpreted UFOs as such). He felt that their invasion in this realm was a sign that they were about to bring about a new world, whether we want to or not. Indeed, the Lament does not suggest that we should desire to unblock the “cosmic channels” and try to get the heka flowing again. The future predicted by the Lament is far darker: there seems to be no hope for our world, and God himself will set back to the clock and restart, underlining the cyclical concept of time that was equally typically ancient and which we too, in our linear approach to time, have lost. And thus, Asclepius wept.

ARTICLE
(Editor's Note: Summary of a 57 page Report presented by G. Wollin on November 20, 1987, at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.) Excerpt taken from MAGNETS, Volume 3, Number 4, April 1988.

"Mrs. Kerstin Westelius had lung cancer of the metastasis type. After years of surgery, therapy and chemotherapy, she was told in June 1987 by her physicians that her cancer was incurable and that she had only 2 more months to live. Here in the picture, she is shown in January of 1988 with her physician, Dr., Erik Enby, who treated her by hanging a Neomax supermagnet around her neck, and with Prof. Goesta Wollen of Clyde, N.C., who invented the method of treating cancer with the employment of supermagnets. Since July of 1987 more than 50 cancer patients in Sweden and America have been treated - all successfully."

Because of the recent invention of a supermagnet with great strength and a minute size, three breast cancer patients have been cured by a method, which will revolutionize the field of cancer treatment. One of the patients had breast cancer of the metastasis type; that is, the cancer had transplanted into tissue distant from the site of the original cancer. The technique we used strongly indicates that all kinds of cancer can be cured by this method.

The super energy permanent magnet we use in our project has a maximum energy of up to 35,000,000 gauss-oersteds. This strength of the supermagnet is the world's record in commercial production, according to the prestigious American Journal "SCIENCE." It is made of iron, boron and neodymium, one of the rare metals. It is brand-named Neomax.

The Neomax supermagnet was recently -1983 - invented by the Sumitomo Special Metals Company of Japan. This company also commercially produces it.

The size of the Neomax supermagnet that was used in the cancer project is approximately the size of an American quarter. It is smaller than a Swedish krona. It weights 30 grams, which is approximately 1 ounce.

The supermagnets for Professor Wollin were made to his specifications. Professor Wollin received, as a generous gift, 30 Neomax supermagnets from the Sumitomo Special Metals Company of Japan. Each one of the women with breast cancer who participated in the project had a supermagnet hanging around her neck for about 4 months, with the north polarity of the magnet directed toward the body.

The results indicate that our method can cure all types of cancer. If we had positioned the magnets on the tumor, we would not have known this. But since we hung a supermagnet around the neck of each patient, it indicates the supermagnets influence the whole body.

Of importance is healthy tissue surrounding a cancer tumor is not harmed by a supermagnet because healthy cells have different electromagnetic potential than cancer cells.

Of great importance is that we can suggest a mechanism; that is, what is happening when a supermagnet is trying to eliminate a malignant tumor. The mechanism is based on Wollin's recent discovery of a universal spiral theory. Wollin discovered that spirals are found throughout nature, from the galaxies, each one consisting of hundreds of billions of stars, down to the basic shape of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), the bodies' ultimate genetic material. The miraculous molecule that makes a mouse a mouse or a human-being a human being. DNA exists in every chromosome in every cell of every individual.

We propose that magnetism and cancer cells are spirals on different scales. When super magnetism is applied to cancer tumors, the magnetic spirals, being larger, are dominating, and at the end, kill the smaller cancer cell spirals.

The successful result of our cancer treatment project is a consequence, of more, than 400 years of research in the fields of electromagnetotherapy and diseases.

Electromagnetotherapy needs to be clarified because in the literature the term's electrotherapy, magnetotherapy, etc., are used to describe the same process. We use only the term electromagnetotherapy because Maxwell showed that electricity and magnetism are two aspects of the same entity, electromagnetism.

In a book chapter entitled "About Magnets and Their Wonderful Ability to Help in the Cure of All sorts of Diseases" by Paracelsus, he writes, for example, that he found the use of magnets to be of great value for the cure of epilepsy. He recommends that 4 magnets be placed on the stomach and 4 on the back.

So far Nordenstrom has treated with electromagnetotherapy 80 patients with breast and lung cancer tumors. His treatment has regressed or killed the tumors in most of the 80 patients. Nordenstrom's treatment of cancer tumors consists of inserting a long needle into the center of a tumor and another needle in normal tissue. The needles are platinum electrodes. The electrode in the tumor is positive and the other negative. Wires are hooked to both electrodes and are connected to a direct electric current processor. The electric current is turned on and is increased in successions from 0 to 10 volts. The treatment has begun.

It is important that our method for curing cancer uses only one magnet. Before we started the project, described in this report, we surmised we needed two magnets - one on each side of the tumor. We succeeded in our treatment of cancer with one magnet because a human being is like a magnet. That humans are electromagnetic was suggested in 1926 by the eminent American surgeon and electromagnetotherapist George Crile in his book "A Bipolar Theory of Living Processes" and in 1983 by the eminent radiologist and cancer researcher Bjorn Nordenstrom in his book "Biological Electric Circuits: Clinical, Experimental and Theoretical Evidence for an additional Circular System".

It is very important we have developed a new method for curing cancer because cancer is increasing everywhere. For example: 1) In Japan there are more than 300,000 new cases of cancer each year; 2) In the United States the cancer mortality rate is increasing each year so that in 1986 cancer killed over 460,000 people; 3) In Sweden, during the last 20 years, there was an increase of 52% of cancer cases reported by the Swedish Socialstyrelsen on October 23, 1987.

In summary, when someone has cancer, in general there are three ways of trying to eliminate the malignant tumor from the body. Surgery is one possibility. Another possibility is to kill the cancerous cells with radiation; that is, radiotherapy, which, of course, also is electromagnetotherapy. The third option is to kill the cancerous cells with drugs; that is, chemotherapy. The drawback with these treatments is that they damage healthy cells, too.

We suggest another option: electromagnetotherapy with the employment of supermagnets. This type of treatment does not damage healthy cells because healthy cells have different electromagnetic potential than cancer cells. It is a new approach to the treatment of cancer, the first since chemotherapy began more than 40 years ago.

(The following is a report to Prof. Goesta Wollin, Clyde, N.C. from Mr. Douglas M. Redman. Mr. Redman learned that Professor Wollin and Dr. Erik Envy cured cancer patients in Sweden with the use of Neomax supermagnets. He telephoned Professor Wollin saying that his mother, Mrs. Redman, was dying of cancer. Professor Wollin sent him a Neomax supermagnet to be used for Mrs. Redman by her physician.) . . . Part .


Curing cancer with magnets
Through thousands of clinical experiments, it has been proven that magnetic therapy is safe, non-addictive, and there are no known harmful exposure levels. Clinical tests have proven that magnets reduce pain. Magnets deeply penetrate the flesh and create a magnetic field that energizes, alkalizes, and oxygenates the blood, improving the immune system performance and the body's healing abilities.

Dr. Albert Roy Davis, Ph.D., noted the positive and negative magnetic polarities have different effects upon biological systems of animals. He found that magnets could be used to arrest and kill cancer cells in animals, and could also be used in the treatment of arthritis, glaucoma, infertility, and diseases related to aging. He concluded that negative magnetic fields have a beneficial effect on living organisms, whereas positive magnetic fields have a harmful effect.

According to Wolfgang Ludwig, Sc.D., Ph.D., Director of the Institute for Biophysics in Horb, Germany, "Magnetic field therapy is a method that penetrates the whole human body and can treat every organ without chemical side effects.

"Magnetic energy has a beneficial effect on blood circulation, lymph flow, hormone production, nerves and muscles," says Dr. Ulrich Warnke, M.D., in "Magnets to Overcome Pain."

"A negative magnetic field (north or negative side) can function like an antibiotic in helping to destroy bacterial, fungal, and viral infections," says Dr. Philpott, "by promoting oxygenation and lowering the body's acidity." Both these factors are beneficial to normal bodily functions but harmful to pathogenic (disease-causing) microorganisms, which do not survive in a well oxygenated, alkaline environment. These two factors are why clinical studies have proven that magnets reduce pain.

Dr. Philpott theorizes that the biological value of oxygen is increased by the influence of a negative electromagnetic field, and that the field causes negatively charged DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to "pull" oxygen out of the bloodstream and into the cell. The negative electromagnetic field keeps the cellular buffer system (pH or acid-based balance) intact so that the cells remain alkaline. The low acid balance also helps maintain the presence of oxygen in the body.

Dr. Philpott states: "A negative magnetic field normalizes the disturbed metabolic functions that cause painful conditions such as cellular edema (swelling of the cells), cellular acidosis (excessive acidity of the cells), lack of oxygen to the cells, and function. A positive magnetic field, on the other hand, can increase pain due to its interference with normal metabolic function."

On my deathbed when pain got unbearable in an area of the colon, I used the north side of a 4" x 5½" x ½" approximately 1000 gauss (magnet strength measurement) magnet against the area most all the time. By the end of the first week the pain started reducing and by the end of the month the pain had disappeared totally.

Today, 4000 gauss magnets are only an inch in size and weigh about an ounce. This type of magnet was especially designed for Professor Wollen and used on cancer patients - all successfully as mentioned in the article "Curing Cancer With Magnets" in Magnet In Your Future magazine.

In Discovery of Magnetic Health by George J. Washnis and Richard Z. Hricak quote Robert Barefoot, a bio-chemist who deals with nutrition and disease, as follows: “The loss of energy from natural magnetic fields means that cellular calcium is not maintained in an active ionized state and so reverts to its inert molecular state and is deposited as a solid substance on cells. The benefit of magnetotherapy is the ability of its magnetic fields to raise pH and thereby ionize the calcium, converting it into biologically active calcium ions.”

State-of-the-art equipment utilizing magnetic technology currently exists in Europe, where magnetic therapy is an established method in many hospitals and doctors' offices.


Curing cancer with magnets; a case study
Patient: Norma Redman.
Age: 65.
Diagnosis: Undifferentiated small cell (Oatcell) carcinoma - lung cancer.
Medical History: Little or no health problems until present illness.
Miscellaneous: Patient smoked two or three packs of cigarettes per day for fifty years.

In August of 1986, the patient developed a severe cough and experienced difficulty in breathing. She visited her doctor and he diagnosed her as having pneumonia and he admitted her to the hospital. After further testing - C.A.T scans and x-rays - she was diagnosed as having small cell carcinoma. A broncoscophy confirmed the diagnosis.

In September 1986, chemotherapy was begun. Chemotherapy continued until April 1987. Then she was given ten days of cobalt radiation directed at the brain. This treatment is necessary because conventional chemotherapy will not kill cancer cells of the Oatcell type in the brain. Chemotherapy was reinstated through late November and early December 1987.

In December 1987, one of her doctors told her she had about one month to live and that they had done all they could for her. At this time, she was experiencing severe back pain and the doctors determined the cancer had moved into her spine. She was given radiation (5 days) and one more round of chemotherapy. At that point she was told that any additional treatment would be of little or no value. On December 23, 1987, she was released from the hospital.

I visited the patient on December 25, 1987. Her condition was as follows:

a. Mental confusion. Could not remember things told to her longer that five minutes.
b. Patient was in severe pain.
c. Patient was on pain medication (Percoset), 2 tablets every 3 hours.
d. Patient could not stand or walk, aided or unaided.
e. Patient could not sleep through the night. Would awaken several times during the night and require assistance.
f. Patient was depressed and exhibited child-like mannerisms.

The "Neomax" was placed on the patient with the north polarity toward the body. After two days had passed, the patient was only taking one pain tablet in the morning and one at night. The mental confusion was noticeably absent and the patient stated that she had slept uninterrupted from 9:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. the next day.

I visited the patient on January 2, 1988. She told me she had been sleeping well every night, not awakening at all during the night. She was taking very little pain medicine. Her back was still hurting when she moved. But she stated it was more tolerable.

On January 5, 1988, the patient was moved to a skilled care nursing home. The doctors there conferred with her oncologist about her condition. On Wednesday, January 6, 1988, the patient told me she had no pain medication that day and that twice that day she had walked (aided) to the bathroom. Also, the resident doctor told her that they determined by studying x-rays, C.A.T. scans, and by other means, that she did not have any cancer in her spine. Instead, they thought her back pain was being caused by osteoporosis. Further, they told her that all tests they performed on her showed no trace of any cancer.

I talked with the patient on Friday, January 8, 1988. Her mental condition was excellent. She stated that she was taking very little pain medication and was in less pain than previous conversations. She has been wearing the super magnet, as of this writing, for fourteen days and has made remarkable progress in so short a period of time. I visited the patient on January 9, 1988. She was able to sit up in bed by herself, could sit on the side of the bed by herself, and could walk, unaided, to the bathroom by herself, although I walked along beside her just to be on the safe side. She is presently taking little or no pain medication, and no other drugs. Her appetite is not very good, but it is improving daily. I expect to visit her again at the end of January and I will be in contact with her by phone almost on a daily basis.

I will continue to monitor and report on her condition until she has fully recovered.

Supermagnets cure cancer. A conventional horse-shoe magnet weighs about 5 kilograms and has a strength of about 4,000 gauss. A Neomax supermagnet with a strength of about 4,000 gauss weighs only about one ounce. Professor Wollin of Clyde, N.C., formerly with Columbia University for 36 years, is the inventor of the method of treating cancer using supermagnets. The supermagnet hangs around the patient's neck. Cancer patients in Sweden and America who were told by their physicians that they had only one, or at the most two, more months to live have been treated successfully.

(End of article.)

In 1985, a conventional horseshoe magnet weighed approximately 5 kilograms (12 ½ pounds) and produced 4,000 gauss. Today, using a special combination of metals, the same 4,000 gauss strength is produced by a magnet weighing about an ounce and is approximately the size of three U.S. quarters stacked together.

These magnets are enclosed in soft leather necklace pouch because, according to Dr. Wollin, the north side of the magnet should be worn or placed securely over the sternum (the hard bone in the middle of the chest) just above the stomach cavity. To date, there have been thousands of these supermagnets sold. In Sweden, the charge is approximately $150.00 for one of these magnets.

Even though magnets raise the body's pH and oxygen level within the body, many other things help. Regardless of how beneficial the use of supermagnets may be in the treatment of cancer, a person should still consider making major life style changes, both mentally and physically, in order to correctly adjust their pH toward slightly alkaline (healthy) pH.

A person can increase the oxygen and alkaline levels by using certain types of magnets. But, a person with cancer is already extremely acidic and oxygen depleted. This situation has to be dealt with. We feel that the magnet is just an additional method in aiding the body towards the environment that is needed. These people should also drastically lower their consumption of acid-causing food and liquids and increase their consumption of alkaline promoting foods, liquids and supplements if they hope to totally win the battle against cancer or disease.

Disease (cancer, etc.) cannot control the environment it needs to survive within, but you have a choice in changing the pH environment within your body from a low oxygen - extremely acidic cellular pH - to a rich oxygen and slightly alkaline environment that cancer can't survive in.

Almost half the people who get cancer eventually die from it. Make up your mind to learn the facts about cancer and do something about it. Start by sending for the free 12 second test that has saved thousands of lives.

Biomagnetic Therapy
Dr. Michael Tierra L.AC., O.M.D.


Magnetic energy is a structuring force of the universe. As such, it is a reflection of the order that causes the infinite stars and planets throughout the galaxies to revolve and spin at incredible velocities while remaining in their respective orbits. As one of the four fundamental forces of nature along with gravity, nuclear energy and radioactivity, electromagnetism is equivalent in definition to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) concept of ‘Qi’, or the East Indian Ayurvedic definition of ‘Prana’. These concepts are what many in the West, regard as the ‘life force’.

Personally, I have had long occasion to experiment and use magnets beginning with myself and then extending to family, friends, students and patients. Two particular occasions on myself were most convincing. Both were soft tissue injuries, one to my elbow and the other, a ligament injury of my knee which I will describe further on.

The elbow pain stemmed from an unknown cause, perhaps an injury or strain. It had persisted for at least 2 weeks during that time I tried acupuncture and herbal treatments which offered only minor temporary relief. As is well known, soft tissue injuries can take some time for repair. It would be most helpful, however, if during that time, there was a simple, non-invasive method to hasten the healing and relieve the pain.

I decided to experiment using magnets to treat the problem. While I had previously heard of magnet therapy, basically that there was a difference therapeutically between the magnet’s North and South polarities, I had no previous experience or further knowledge of their use. When I taped a small 1000 Gauss acuband magnet directly on the skin over the ‘trigger’ point or center of the pain in my arm. I was amazed to find that the pain almost completely disappeared within 5 minutes. I decided to experiment further, first by removing and reapplying the magnet a few times. Each time the pain returned when the magnet was removed and all but completely disappeared again when reapplied. I then experimented by turning the magnet over to change its polarity from North, which is cooling and dispersing, to South, which is heating and building. I discovered that when the South side of the magnet was against the skin, the pain intensified and by reversing the magnet to North, it was alleviated.

Since that time, I have been intrigued with the therapeutic possibilities of bio-magnetic therapy. However, I still had no idea whether the magnet treatment to my arm was only symptomatic or could eventually promote complete healing. Further, I found that there was discrepancies both in print and from various distributors concerning the importance and definition of the North and South sides of a magnet. Despite my confusion, I tentatively began to use magnets on my patients. Because, however, I had such an unsure grasp of any basic theoretical or practical methodology, my results were inconclusive.

I say all this because there may be others who, like myself, felt or presently feel unsure about the value and results of an experience of biomagnetic therapy. Through my example they may appreciate a further corroboration by another who has become fully convinced that biomagnetic therapy may well be one of the safest and most powerful natural healing methods, especially for the relief of pain ever discovered by humankind.

My interest in magnets was rekindled a few years later when I had a crippling soft tissue injury to the medial aspect of my right knee. It was particularly debilitating because there were few positions either standing, sitting or reclining that could provide relief. Having nearly all but forgotten about my previous experience with the magnets on my elbow, I began by using acupuncture, moxabustion (heat applied to specific acupuncture points) and herbal poultices, fomentations and liniments. Everything helped but I still could barely walk or find a comfortable position to either sit or recline.

I certainly was not looking forward to having to stand and be present at a forthcoming natural products trade show that included a promised diversion to my excited young son to a nearby entertainment park. In desperation I remembered the all-but-forgotten magnets that I stored in a cupboard near my bed. I systematically applied the North magnets to the trigger points located near the site of pain around my knee. Estimating what meridians were involved, I positioned the South magnets further up the femur and hip on the Gall Bladder and Bladder Meridians. I found, however, that it was the local application of the North magnets around the knee that was most effective. Within two hours after their application, the pain was 95% gone.

Again, I decided to conduct the same experiments on my knee that I had done a few years previous on my elbow pain, by removing and reapplying them, changing the magnets to irrelevant locations and reversing their polarity. My previous findings were absolutely corroborated. I eventually discovered that I needed to wear the magnets on the trigger points around my knee nearly continuously for about two months before the problem became sufficiently stabilized and resolved.

After this second powerful experience with bio-magnetic therapy, I decided to apply magnets on all my patients along with the acupuncture, dietary and herbal therapy that was part of my normal practice. I wanted to discover for myself the range of their effectiveness for a wide variety of complaints. Since that time, I have found biomagnetic therapy to be around 90% effective for the relief of pains and conditions caused by inflammation. For examples, a woman with diagnosed symptoms of colitis, had tried many forms of conventional and non-conventional treatment over the year previous but was relieved with the application of magnets to her lower abdomen within a week. Another man with arthritis in his hands and fingers with only minimal response from acupuncture and herbal therapy used magnetic balls to relieve and eventually remedy his condition completely. Similarly, another man had encroaching stiffness in his fingers that was threatening to impair his main love, playing the guitar. He also found the results he was seeking with the use of magnetic balls. As a pianist, I can only imagine the benefit these simply magnetic balls could be to the many who have suffered injury from repetitive use or wrong playing.

Everyone, who had acute or chronic lower back, elbow or knee problems found relief and in many cases, complete recovery from the local application of magnets. Patients with asthma, found that the application of magnets to their upper back or chest would provide them the relief they desperately needed without any further external medication. The list goes on to include patients with upper respiratory allergies, gastro-intestinal and digestive complaints, migraine headaches -- all were relieved with the use of magnets -- and the list of conditions continues to expand. Now with the expanded methods of application using magnetized water, magnetized oils, magnetic mattresses and mattress pads, jewelry and so forth, I am convinced that there is no condition that bio-magnetic therapy would not be at least helpful.

Because of my experience with traditional Eastern systems of medicine, including Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) and East Indian Ayurvedic medicine, I was able to tangibly experience the fundamental energetic basis of healing with magnets described in various traditional healing systems around the world. I could tangibly understand that the North facing side of a magnet was equivalent in energy to the definition in TCM of Yin, or in Ayurveda of Shakti energy. The South facing side was equivalent to TCM Yang, or Ayurvedic Shiva energy. I also understood that the relative strength of a magnet determined whether it was to be used as an important energetic nutrient when in low strength (under 1000 gauss), or a high powered therapeutic tool in high strength (over 3000 gauss) that should be used with due respect. Essentially, like other forms of natural healing energy, if reasonably used, magnets are very forgiving. Except for the obvious contraindications noted, it is rare that anyone would experience anything more than a minor discomfort or aggravation usually caused by using magnetics that are too strong, applying the wrong North-South polarity for a given area or generally an overexposure to a strong magnetic field. If, for instance, one misapplies them over a wrong area, uses the wrong polarity or uses magnets that are inappropriately too strong, there may be a period of minor aggravation and discomfort that is easily remedied as soon as they are appropriately changed or removed. As with herbs, acupuncture and all other systems of natural healing, trial and error is a valid approach to biomagnetic therapy.

Science recognizes a close relationship between electricity and magnetism. In 1820, Hans Oersted of Denmark discovered a direct relationship between electricity and magnetism by showing that an electric current flowing in a wire caused a nearby compass needle to be deflected. Following the discoveries of Oersted, Ampere, the 18th century physicist whose notable achievements were germinal to the harnessing of electrical energy, discovered a quantitative relationship between the strength of an electric current with the magnetic field it creates (Ampere’s theorem). Noting the close relationship between electricity and magnetism, he described magnetism as “electricity thrown into curves”.

Just as the stars and planets revolve in galactical orbits, each atom has a nucleus around which spins various positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons that in turn generate a magnetic field. To reiterate, health represents a balance of these positive and negative forces described in TCM as Yin and Yang, in Ayurvedic medicine as ‘Shiva’ and ‘Shakti’, and in Western physiology as the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.

The current theory of ‘free radicals’ as the cause of degenerative diseases and aging, is based on the concept of a negatively charged electron spinning out of their orbit, invading another cell which in turn causes a cellular disruption that sends other subatomic particles off their respective orbits. This results in cellular chaos. Biomagnetic healing is able to passively provide a stimulus for the restoration of balance at a subatomic level and offset the devastating domino-effect of harmful free radicals.

Because every atom generates an electromagnetic (EM) field, we, along with all of nature, are imbued with the power of electromagnetism. It is also possible for us to channel our innate positive electromagnetic energy for healing both ourselves and others.

Stressing the importance of electromagnetism, Einstein said,

“we may therefore regard matter as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field is extremely intense .....There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality.” (Our italics)

The mystic founder of Theosophy, Madame Blavatsky states similarly in different terms when she describes: “Matter is spirit at its lowest level and spirit is matter at its highest level.”

It is said that what may be described as matter, the nucleus of an atom, is so infinitesimal that if we were to gather all the nuclei of a human body, it would be no larger than a period at the end of a sentence. Thus, modern physics theorizes that what we call matter may not be particles at all, but the presence of an impenetrable electro-magnetic field.

Life, comprised of a complex chain of bio-chemical and physiological processes is activated and animated by an invisible bio-magnetic force. Apropos of this, Dr. F.K. Bellokossy of Denver Colorado, described life as an “infinitely intelligent interaction of electro-magnetic energies carried by chemical substances.”

Modern medicine has come to depend upon such high tech diagnostic procedures as the (ECG) electro-cardiogram, the (EEG) electroencephalogram, the (EMG) electromyogram to measure the electrical activity in the heart, the cerebral cortex and the skeletal muscles respectively. If there were no electrical energy in the body, such tests would not be possible.

From the perspective of bio-magnetics, health is based upon the individual cells of the body vibrating at a characteristic normal frequency. Disease, on the other hand, represents an abnormal change in cellular vibration. The therapeutic application of magnets and herbs, at the deepest level, is based on the principle of restoring normal cellular vibration.

This understanding should make magnetic therapy very accessible to those who have an energetic approach to treatment and it would include Traditional herbalism, TCM, Ayurveda and some Western ‘holistically’ oriented mind-body therapies.

MAGNETIC ENERGY: A FUNDAMENTAL EARTH NUTRIENT

The Earth’s magnetic field strength is about a half gauss.(1) While seemingly small, the magnetic field strength of gauss as a measurement is in proportion to the total mass of the magnet. With that, a half gauss in proportion to the size of the Earth becomes very significant. As a matter of fact, it is essential to life.

With the exploration of space in the 1960’s, there came increased awareness of the importance of magnetism in maintaining health, since it was found that astronauts, beyond the protective magnetic field of the Earth often returned with symptoms of psychiatric disturbances, calcium and mineral deficiencies along with other physiological disturbances. Conversely, companies who needed to conduct experiments or manufacture biological products outside of the magnetic field of the earth were, and continue to be major investors in the space program. Since that time, an integral aspect of space flight research involves studying the effects of magnetic fields on living organisms in space travel.

Part of the Earth’s magnetic field is created by the ‘ionosphere’-- a layer of air containing electrically-charged particles that extend from sixty to a hundred miles above the surface of the Earth. Extending some thousands of miles into space is the ‘magnetosphere’, sometimes called Van Allen Radiation Belt, after the scientist who discovered it. This is a huge swarm of radioactive particles that are threatening to life. If it were not for the fact that the harmful radiation particles are trapped by the Earth’s magnetic field, life on Earth would be impossible.

The half gauss strength of the Earth seems to be in a state of cyclic change so that over time, the Earth’s magnetic poles have repeatedly shifted and changed their location. Scientific research estimates that these reversals occur approximately every half to one million years. The most recent reversal occurred about 700,000 years ago. It has been documented that the Earth’s magnetic field has diminished about 50% of what it was 500-1000 years ago, with a full 5% decline recorded in the last 100 years. From this we can appreciate the vital importance of geomagnetic energy to life.

Drs. Barnwell and Brown of the Department of Biological Sciences, North Western University, USA, conducted a number of experiments exposing magnetic fields on living organisms and reported that, “There remains no reasonable doubt that all living organisms are extraordinarily sensitive to magnetic fields.” The effect of magnetic fields on living organisms continues in the USA and throughout the world but some of the most important medically is that done by the Japanese.

MAGNETIC FIELD DEFICIENCY SYNDROME
Dr. Kyoichi Nakagawa, MD, Director of Isuzu hospital, Tokyo, Japan, has described a pathological condition called Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome (MFDS) (2)that causes a variety of symptoms including stiff shoulders, back and neck, chest pains, habitual constipation and general fatigue.

He mailed questionnaires to 11,648 Japanese users of magnets 2.5 mm thick x 5 mm in diameter with external gauss strength of 590. Only the North magnetic side was in direct contact with the skin for treatment in these studies. Women represented 57% and men 43% of the total with a representative age group between 40 and 49 years.

Magnets were used for the following conditions: Stiff neck and shoulders 45.20 Lumbago 19.00% Neuralgia 13.90% Painful muscles 12.30% Rheumatism 1.30% Other 6.30% No reply 2.00%

Effects were usually noticed from the second to the fourth day. No adverse effects were reported, while over 90% of the users classified results as very efficacious, efficacious or fairly efficacious, and 105 as ineffective or not very effective.

A number of other studies were conducted with 400 subjects in 1976 by professors Akio Yamada and Shuwichi-Hirose of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Tokyo; professor Yamada, University, Juntendo, Tokyo; and Kyoshi Kurmskima, Kohnodai National hospital. Some tests were double-blind placebo using a variety of different magnetic devices. Symptoms addressed included pains in the back of the neck, shoulders, backs, arms, hands and legs. Effectiveness was in the range of 60 to 80% within a period of 7 to 14 days. No side effects were reported.

A double-blind study by Dr. Yoshio Oay treating 80 subjects with lumbar pain using strong magnetic belts containing magnets of 1,500 gauss. Fifty subjects were given the magnetic belts while 30 received placebos or less powerful belts of 200 gauss. All subjects using the full strength belts evidenced marked improvement while those using weaker magnets or placebos showed only slight or no marked improvement.

Some confuse the electro-magnetic energy generated by power lines, computer and TV monitors, electrical wiring in our homes and vehicles as equivalent. These, however, represent alternating current (AC) which is deranging to normal cellular metabolism. The earth and other metallic substances, in contrast represent a permanent magnetic field or direct current (DC) which when used appropriately can be integrative to the sub-atomic particles of cells.

Many factors, beside the natural cyclic waxing and waning of geomagnetic energy contribute to the diminishing of direct current (DC) magnetic energy to our body. Some of these are the result of interference from the AC current of man-made electromagnetic radiation which is incompatible with our bodies’ biomagnetic emanations which include television, radio, radar, household appliances, computers, electrical wiring in buildings, nearby power lines and other sources.

The effects of working and living in concrete and steel structures further cut us off from the Earth’s direct magnetic force. The automobile, train, jet plane, bus and other hi-tech modes of travel are other ways we are deprived of important natural magnetism from the Earth.

Shrinking open spaces, living high above sea level on ground covered with concrete and asphalt and the decreasing amount of ground water all contribute to lack of conductivity and Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome (MFDS).

The magnetic energy of our planet is responsible for the natural biorhythms of life. In Traditional Chinese Medicine these biorhythms describe how Qi or bio-magnetic energy is concentrated in certain areas of the body according to cycles of each day and season. It may also be concentrated in certain areas on the Earth that inexplicably have been able to retain their magnetic strength. These are recognized earth healing areas such as Lourdes, France and Sedona, Arizona.

Symptoms of MFDS may be similar to a variety of chronic conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, candida albicans and environmental allergies. MFDS typically is associated with a general malaise and low energy, frequent susceptibility to disease, tightness of the neck and shoulders, fibro-myalgic body pains, forgetfulness, headaches, digestive and circulatory problems and a general ‘foggy’ feeling.

At many healing retreats that I have both attended and conducted, we would hug a tree to experience the grounding of accumulated unnatural magnetic distortions. While this may be impossible to scientifically prove, anecdotally everyone who has ever hugged a tree will acknowledge a certain feeling of well-being afterwards, characterized by a lessening of mental and physical heaviness. Perhaps, this is another indication of an innate need for a certain type of natural energy that is lacking in our daily lives.

How do magnets work?
Magnetic energy has such all-encompassing, powerful effects that no one description of how they exert their positive therapeutic effects could adequately describe all the many complex ways it effects mind and body. However, one theory based on the concept of diseased cells losing their magnetic equilibrium, explains how topically applied magnets are able to support and encourage the normal functional relationship both within the molecular structure of each cell as well as positively influencing the relationships throughout the entire body-mind process.

Another theory is that magnets exert a powerful attraction to the iron content in the blood, penetrating the outer layers of skin, muscle and fatty tissue to the capillaries that feed directly into the bloodstream. By attracting iron and perhaps other inorganic molecules to a diseased area, circulation is increased. This is enhanced by the increase of oxygen and other vital nutrients to the affected site that assists in healing. The combined effect is regulating the pH of the cells and tissues, balancing, ionizing and oxygenating them and generally relieving congestion and pain by improving blood circulation.

Scientific research documents the following specific physiological effects of biomagnetic therapy:(3)

It effects increasing blood and oxygen circulation along with the nutrient carrying potential of the blood.
It is able to effect pH balance (acid-alkaline) which is often imbalanced in disease tissues.
It positively speeds up the migration of calcium ions to facilitate the healing of nervous tissue and bones (usually at least in half the time). Because of this it can also help remove the pathological buildup of calcium associated with arthritic joints.
It can powerfully influence the production of certain hormones from the various endocrine glands.
It stimulates and fosters enzyme activity and other related physiological processes .
If we consider that all functions of the body are essentially biomagnetic, we can understand how each body cell down to the DNA has a positive and negative biomagnetic field and that cell division, itself, is fundamentally a magnetic process that occurs throughout the various tissues and organs of the body. Physiological biochemistry that utilizes various amino acids requires biomagnetic energy to occur.

It has been found that the pineal gland, a tiny pine-cone shaped gland located directly in the center of the brain, responsible for the production of melatonin, enzymes, immune function, oxidation, carbohydrate metabolism, pigmentation by melanin and the cyclic patterns of sleep and awakening is regulated, according to Robert Becker in his book on biomagnetics called Cross Currents, “by exposure to steady magnetic fields of the same strength as the geomagnetic field”. Since the pineal gland and melatonin govern stress tolerance and the production of antioxidants that help control the harmful effects of free radicals that cause degenerative disease and aging, biomagnetics can have a very beneficial effect in helping to regulate the pineal gland to offset the natural and unnatural disruption of our exposure to natural geo-magnetic fields.

The following chart derived from Bengallineville’s book, Magnet Therapy: Theory and Practice outlines the various factors that are responsible for cellular magnetic disturbances:

Extrinsic Factors Intrinsic Factors
Natural Artificial Emotional stress
Solar flares X-rays Hormonal imbalances
Sunspot activity Cobalt-60 Infectious or pathogenic microorganisms
Eclipses Radium implants Deficiencies (iodine deficiency produces thyroid imbalances)
Moon phases
new and full moon
Nuclear plants using radioactive substances like Strontium-90 and Plutonium Deficient or imbalanced diet
Thunderstorms Radiation from color televisions and computer monitors. Ovulation
Cosmic rays Radiations from microwave ovens. Injuries (serious)
X-rays Chemical additives in food Injurious habits like excessive intake of alcohol and drugs.
Subsoil radiations
(geopathic zones)
Radioactive fallout from nuclear tests. Pregnancy
Certain planetary configurations Irradiated wheat and other foods. Menopausal period
High tension cables
Sound vibrations
Aluminum vessels used in cooking.

The safety of Biomagnetic Therapy
According to my personal experience and the experience of biomagnetic therapists and patients from around the world, magnets are corrective and regulating and therefore have little risk of either dependency or negative interaction with drugs. Magnets under 2500 gauss seem to be safe regardless of their North, South polarity (nevertheless, as a kind of energetic nutrient when used or worn daily in a mattress or shoe insole, I prefer using magnets no stronger that 1000 gauss strength). Over 3000 gauss strength, prolonged exposure to the wrong magnetic field polarity can create an minor imbalance in a small few. Therefore, exposure to high strength magnetic fields should be limited to a period of no long than 30 minutes at a time once or twice daily. This is generally not true, however, of high powered acuband magnets which can be left on the affected site for days providing the correct North-South magnetic field is in use.

I once met a women who was treating herself for a year for candida albicans and attendant symptoms, using very high strength magnets on a daily basis. She became frightened when she discovered that her hair began to fall out. This, despite the fact that most of her other symptoms were alleviated. and she even claimed to feel more energetic and vital than ever. Because the thought of losing her hair was so frightening to her, she resolved never to get near a magnet again. One day I was gratefully surprised to find a varied collection of high grade industrial strength magnets deposited in the waiting room of my clinic. I later asked her what she felt about the use of magnetic mattresses. She asserted that there was no comparison with her unfortunate experience and that their relatively low gauss strength made them virtually impossible to cause any significant harmful reaction.

Given the fact that it is impossible to predict what is otherwise known as an idiosyncratic reaction that an individual may have to practically any substance or thing, overwhelmingly the potential benefits of biomagnetic therapy makes them well worth a try for a wide variety of conditions.

A few positive experiences from my own clinical experience may serve to offset any concerns or negative impressions one may have to magnetic therapy. One was the prolonged use of high gauss magnets to completely eliminate and control the pain of a man diagnosed with incurable liver cancer. Because of the use of strong North facing magnets applied over the site of pain, he was able to spend his last days with a minimum amount of discomfort without the use of morphine or any other deadening pain medication. Two women, one with lung and another with breast cancer were able to minimize or completely eradicate any attendant pains in a similar way. Finally, A man with a diagnosed brain tumor, fastened a strong neodymium magnet on a cap which he wore for half to one hour periods twice each day. He was reexamined after a period of several months and doctors were amazed to find that his tumor had shrunk.

I must add, that all these patients were given adjunctive dietary and herbal therapy which I am sure contributed greatly to their response.

I hope that if for no other purpose than for simply the relief of pain, magnets should become either an adjunctive with other modalities or first therapeutic option.

Contraindications:
Despite the safety of magnets, there are some contraindications to be aware of. First, do not use magnets during pregnancy, on those who have a history of epilepsy, those wearing a pacemaker or other metal implants that might be dislodged by exposure to magnets. Strong magnets should be used with care on small infants and children, on the eyes, the brain or over the heart.

Healing Crisis Reaction:
Because magnets have such a positive effect on vascular circulation, some individuals may experience a temporary aggravation as a consequence of the increased discharge of toxins. Some healing crisis reactions may include symptoms such as light headedness, itching, allergic reaction, headache, sleepiness or a sensation of heat. When this occurs it is best to gradually ease into their use over a period of time.

Magnets
Materials used for magnets are those whose atoms can be permanently or semi-permanently lined up. Of all magnetic materials, an alloy comprised of one-fifth cobalt and four fifths platinum makes the most powerful magnet. Other materials used for magnets are Alnico magnets comprised of an alloy of aluminum, nickel, iron, cobalt and copper. These are about 10 times more powerful than steel magnets and 100 times more powerful than the Earth’s magnetic field. Ferrite magnets are comprised of carbonates of barium and iron. They are very powerful and significantly cheaper than alnico magnets but have the disadvantage of being very fragile.

MAGNETIC FIELDS
The magnetic field is the area where magnets exert their force. This is easily determined by holding a compass near the magnet to determine if the strength of the magnet overrides the magnetic force of the poles.

Magnetic Poles
Up until recently, scientific technical study of magnets describe the nature and effects of the two poles of a magnet as being the same. The years of research by Dr. Albert Roy Davis Ph.D., based on isolating and measuring the effects of the two poles has confirmed the different reactions they produce on living systems.

Dr. Davis was able to measure the direction of electron spin given off and transmitted from the two ends of magnet’s poles. From this, he was able to determine that the spin of the electrons were in reverse of each other. The electrons coming from the South pole of the magnet cycled and moved clockwise, to the right while those emanating from the North pole moved and cycled to the left or counterclockwise. (4)

This was confirmed from the use of complex technical magnetometers measuring the magnetic field of Earth from space. It was discovered that magnetic energy moves in an spiral forming the infinity pattern. Upon leaving either the North or South poles it travels halfway backward, clockwise or counterclockwise depending upon the exiting pole, to reenter and rephase itself inwards where it takes on the reverse spin in the opposite direction.

Dr. Davis was able to use a cathode ray vacuum to photograph in color the different North and South energies emitted from a long bar magnet. By a series of experiments first on animals and seeds and then on various fluids and foods, he was able to observe the physical effects on living systems. He confirmed the positive effects of the South pole energies in promoting rapid growth, fertility and a general metabolically heating effect as opposed to the inhibiting negative effects of the North pole that had a quieting, soothing and metabolically cooling effect.

Using untreated seeds as a comparison guide, Dr. Davis conducted a series of laboratory experiments on seeds and vegetables that were first exposed to the South pole magnet. An analysis of the end products of these plant products showed a noticeable increase in protein, sugars and oils as opposed to the control group. In contrast, those exposed to the North pole were lower in protein, sugars and oils than the control group.

He then studied the effect of South and North pole to the development and growth of Earthworms. Again, worms treated with South pole energy multiplied faster, grew more and larger than those treated with North pole energy. The protein of Earthworms is approximately 90% on the average but the effect of the South pole evidenced a marked increase of their protein content. He was also able to corroborate similar results on the growth of mice and rats.

As stated, the difference between magnetized and demagnetized material was that electrons in a magnetized object are aligned to go in a single rather than a seemingly randomized direction. The direction follows the magnetic poles of the Earth between the Southern and Northern hemispheres. (5)

Following the system described by Davis and Rawls, the bio-North (-) pole of a magnet has the same polarity as the true geographic North pole of the Earth. This bio-magnetic definition of North and South is in contradistinction to that of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS).

To determine the North-South direction of a magnet, tie a thread to the center of the magnet bar and the other end to a high place such as a ceiling or door frame. The suspended magnet will tend to spin and eventually position itself in the direction of geographical North and South as is determined by a compass. Permanently mark as South the side facing the South pole of the magnet with red paint or fingernail polish. With one marked magnet, it can be lined up and used to indicate the polarity of all other magnets.

Another method is to align the needle of a compass to point North. Bring one side or end of the magnet near the compass. The side of the magnet that is able to attract the North end of the compass needle is to be marked as North. All other magnets can be so marked and aligned to conform to one predetermined indicator magnet.

The gauss level employed is dependent upon the severity and duration of a complaint, together with the age and condition of the patient. It is always best to begin treatment with a low to medium gauss range and then increase to higher strength as necessary. On infants, young children, the frail and elderly, use only low strength magnets.

Finally, many biomagnetic therapists believe that magnets whose gauss measure less than 2500 can be used irrespective of their North or South polarity. It is my experience that the quickest and most dramatic results is when the North and South are appropriately applied according to an evaluation of the condition to be treated.

THE CARE AND HANDLING OF MAGNETS
To prevent them from losing their power or becoming totally broken and destroyed, magnets must be carefully handled. Dropping a magnet or subjecting it to a sharp blow may cause it to lose much of its strength. Furthermore, magnets subjected to temperatures in excess of 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit will lose all of their energy.

U-shaped magnets need to be placed on a flat bar or cylinder so that both ends of the magnet make contact with the metal. This is called a “Keeper” and prevents the dissipation of their magnetic power. For long, flat, wide surface magnets, bend a piece of iron, a tin can or a metal bar that can be fastened to both ends to provide a passage of energy between both poles and again prevent its lose into space. Try to keep different sizes and strengths of magnets away from each other to prevent them from bleeding off their charges.

All magnets can be stuck together but they should be positioned so that they are symmetrical in a single row and not balled up in any way with magnets of various sizes hanging off the ends. This is especially true of inferior quality magnets while with higher quality industrial strength magnets this is not a consideration.

Finally, magnets can be dangerous. The attractive force of even two 25 pound magnets is capable of inflicting serious injury to pinched fingers or other bodily parts that may get caught in their way. It is easier to handle strong magnets if they are wrapped in some kind of thin soft fiber such as a cotton wash towel.

Summary of Precautions in the Handling and Use of Magnets

a. Remove battery powered wristwatches and any other magnetic objects whose field can be altered by the presence of an externally applied magnet.

b. Avoid dropping, banging or heating magnets above 700 degrees Fahrenheit as this may dissipate their strength.

c. For U shaped magnets, use a “keeper” to connect the two ends when it is not in use.

d. Be careful in handling large heavy magnets as one can injure a body part if they were to suddenly slam together from a distance.

e. If possible, do not allow different sized magnets to remain together.

f. Keep magnets away from homeopathic remedies, computer hard drives, recording tape, credit cards, videos and CD’s to prevent their being damaged or erased. Magnets should also be kept away from battery operated watches, hearing aids and from individuals who have a pacemaker or any metallic parts placed in their body.

MAGNET THERAPY
Biomagnetic therapy is used for the control of pain, to stop infections, heal bones and scar tissue, rejuvenation of cells and balancing the body’s energy levels. It can also be effectively combined with most other therapeutic modalities. The strength of the magnetic field chosen is based on the magnetic strength, shape and size of the magnet selected based on the following considerations:

duration of the ailment
severity of the condition
total area to be treated
whether the diseased tissue is superficial or deep
the patient’s sensitivity
THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION OF THE South and North poles

Understanding and utilizing the unique application of the North and South poles of a magnet is fundamental to any biomagnetic therapeutic application.

The North pole of the magnet is cooling, sedating and dispersing. This corresponds to Traditional Chinese medicine definition of Yin or negative polarity.

The South polarity is heating, stimulating and accumulating. This corresponds to the TCM Yang or positive polarity.

All descriptions of positive and negative are not qualitative definitions but express the relationship between the opposite poles to each other and outer phenomena.

Indications Contraindications
SOUTH Tonifying, strengthening, building, heating, Yang in nature. Can be used for pains caused by weakness, coldness and deficiency (usually of a more chronic and ‘achy’ nature), also for hypometabolic conditions associated with low energy, weak digestion and weak immune system. Not for acute inflammatory conditions, bacterial infections, cancers and tumors, excess and stagnation conditions, excess Yang
NORTH Clearing, eliminative, detoxifying, dispersing, cooling, Yin in nature. Can be used for acute pains (sharp or burning) caused by heat, inflammation, hyper metabolic conditions, hypertensive conditions, insomnia, nervousness, infections and inflammations. Not for deficiency conditions, coldness, low metabolism, weakness
SOUTH AND NORTH COMBINED When pain, infection or another condition has gotten to a point where the body apparently lacks both the positive and negative energies to fully recover, both poles should be applied. This can be done either by alternating the application of North and South every 15 minutes or by applying a number of both North and South acu-magnets simultaneously over an area. This approach can also be used if the site of pain encompasses a large area. This is equivalent to a deficiency of both Yin and Yang. This harmonizing approach is one of the most commonly used because conditions are seldom either/or. It is especially useful when a single center of the pain or disease extends over a larger area or cannot be discerned. The disadvantage is that if the particular site can be found and appropriately treated, positive results are quicker.

Therapeutic application of North
The North magnetic pole is inhibiting and sedating. It slows down cellular metabolism. Because of this, it is cooling, soothing and retarding and useful for painful or inflammatory conditions such as:

Arthritis, spondylitis, prostatitis, lumbago, chronic and acute headaches, bruises, injuries, and sharp pains, bacterial infections, dysentery, skin ailments such as eczema, psoriasis and ringworm, tumors, mental retardation, epilepsy, cataract, glaucoma, neuralgia, nervousness, insomnia and initially on hernias.

It can be applied for the initial inflammatory response to any injury. When a condition assumes a more chronic state, however, one may need to switch to the more tonifying South pole to relieve symptoms.

North energies over 7000 gauss retard bacterial growth as well as cell and tissue regeneration. In the September 1990 “Journal of the National Medical Association”, it is clearly shown how the North magnetic pole inhibits the growth of lung carcinoma cells. In general, the North polarity tends to have a normalizing effect regardless of the length of exposure.

Therapeutic Application of the South
The South magnetic pole is heating, tonifying and augmenting and increases cellular metabolism. It can be used for the following conditions:

Paralysis, leucoderma, alopecia, hernia (later), asthma, tingling and numbness, to strengthen weak muscles and tissues, comatose conditions, after debilitating illness such as tuberculosis, gastroenteritis, scars, etc.

Because South promotes growth, it should never be directly applied on cancerous tumors, bacterial or viral infections or parasites. For regeneration of cells and tissues, magnets over 7000 gauss are extremely effective.

Applying Complete North and South Pole Magnetic Therapy

The bioelectrical force of the right side of the body is more Yin and inhibitory. If there is a lack of the Yin-inhibitory force, the left sided Yang-stimulating bioelectrical activity will appear to be in excess. This represents False Yang or Yin Deficiency. It can manifests as apparent hyperactivity with symptoms such as high blood pressure, hyperthyroidism, palpitations, hyperacidity, etc., all within the overall context of Deficiency and wasting. For these conditions, apply a Yang South magnet to the inside of the right wrist to restore equilibrium and harmony.

If the Yang left-sided energies of the body are weaker than the right-sided Yin, there will be hypoactive or apparent excess Yin symptoms. These can include low blood pressure, hypothyroidism, sluggish bowel movements, general lethargy, fluid retention and edema and hypoglycemia. These conditions are treated by applying the South pole to the inside of the left wrist.

Chronic pains, including chronic arthritic and rheumatic pains may also require bipolar treatment. Treating large organs systems such as the Liver and Kidneys also seem to respond better to the use of bipolar treatment.

To speed the mending of fractures by at least half, dual poles are used. South should be applied to the upper side of the break and North applied to the lower side.

Magnets come in many shapes and forms. Following are some of the more common ones that are used therapeutically used:

BI-POLAR MAGNETS AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS

In an attempt to utilize the combined North-South poles various bipolar magnets have been used. In 1981, a Swiss scientist Arno Latske introduced an alternating polarity magnet. He observed that when these bipolar magnets were applied over areas of pain, relief and healing occurred as a result of charged articles (i.e. electrolytes in the blood) that passed perpendicular to the magnetic field as a result of what in physics is called the Hall Effect. The North-South poles of the magnet were arranged in perpendicular strips so that the optimal response occurred with blood vessels that directly crossed the bipolar North-South magnetic strips. However, those vessels did not cross the bipolar arrangement sufficiently had the least therapeutic effect.

Next, a German scientist Horst Baermann, in an attempt to improve the Hall Effect, developed a magnet with concentric North-South strips The problem is that if the blood vessels did not cross near the center of the circle, there was little benefit from the alternating current.

In an attempt to circumvent the shortcoming of the previous two designs, an American engineer, Vincent Ardizzone, of Nu-Magnetics, Inc., NY, developed a checkerboard design that accommodate the random design of blood vessels. While the previous two designs had only two sides per pole adjacent to opposite poles, the four-sided checkerboard pattern significantly increased the possibility of a blood vessel being exposed to cross alternating poles. This design also allowed for the magnet to be cut into various shapes and sized without intervening gaps.

Acu Band Magnets
These are usually 0.16’ dia x 0.06’ thick and come with 0.8” dia Band-Aids. They are available in varying Gauss strengths and different alloys, usually in packets of 12. The most effective in my experience are acuband magnets that range from 3000 to 9000 gauss. Some are marked with a grove to indicate the North side, while others have a tiny protrusion, indicating the South.

One or more are taped directly over or near the affected site or acupuncture points, using either the North or South polarity as appropriate. Magnets with opposite polarity can be applied directly opposite or distally along a line or acupuncture meridian located nearest the affected area. North or South polarity can be used over acupuncture points and/or centers diagnostically related to the primary symptom.

For instance:

For acute colds and flu tape North facing magnets to Large Intestine 4, Large Intestine 11, Triple Warmer 5 and Governor 14.

For chronic back ache that is not inflamed, tape South facing magnets over Bladder 23 and Kidney 3. One can apply a North directly over the acute ‘trigger’ points of pain and further down the Bladder meridian over Bladder 40 (aka 54) behind the knee.

For insomnia apply a North magnet to Yin Tang point between the eyebrows and two North magnets to one of the two Anmien points behind the ear.

For fatigue and low energy apply South magnets to stomach 36, conception vessel 6 or 4 and bladder 23 on the lower back. In addition, one can also apply a North magnet to large intestine four on the hand to help clear any Heat and toxicity.

For promoting the healing of fractures apply alternating South and North magnets directly along the affected area. These can be simultaneously used with North to reduce any inflammation in the area.

These are only a few of many possibilities based on a knowledge of acupuncture meridians and points. It is a good idea to have a razor available to shave off any hair that may prevent the Band-Aid from sticking. Acu-magnets can be left on for a week, taken off briefly and reapplied if they are still needed. If there is any prolonged aggravation or discomfort, they should be removed or reverse the North-South polarity.

Large Block Magnets
These are iron ferrite magnets which can be purchased from industrial magnet manufacturers and come in various sizes and very high Gauss. Since these are made of fragile ceramic, they are not easy to handle. In general one should learn the technique of sliding them apart or together when needed and keep delicate fingers out of the way in case they inevitably snap together.

Smaller ones can be ordered in various sizes and dimensions and are available in dual color to easily distinguish between the North and South polarity. The strength of these magnets may be deceptive. They are usually available from 1000 to 3600 gauss or higher. Because they cover a larger area, even a lower strength magnet can exert a powerful therapeutic effect. Two magnets can be used to attach to clothing, North or South as needed.

The highest Gauss magnets are Neodymium (NeoMax) magnets. They are composed of iron, boron and neodymium, one of the rarest metals on Earth and their strength range from 2000 to 3600 gauss. Their use was first promoted by the International Medical Research Center based on the discovery and work of Professor Goesta Wollin’s development of a Universal Cancer Spiral Theory. Professor Wollin discovered that spirals are found throughout nature, down to the basic shape and structure of DNA. In 1987, the Swedish press widely reported Professor Wollin’s discovery of the Universal Cancer Spiral. He claimed that when supermagnets are applied to cancerous tumors, the magnetic spirals, which are larger, would superimpose themselves and destroy the smaller cancerous cell spirals.

Professor Wollin’s round neodymium magnets were specifically developed to treat cancer. Usually they are sold in pairs. The North sided magnet is intended to be placed directly over the cancer or tumor while the South is worn over the thymus located on the sternum between the breasts. This is used to help stimulate the body’s immune system. While the North magnet directly over the site of the cancer can be left on for a prolonged period, the South over the thymus should only be applied twice daily for no longer than 30 minutes.

These larger magnets are available encased in plastic and color coded so the two polarities are easily determined. The large neodymium magnets or stronger ferrite magnets are indicated in prescriptions for treating most acute and chronic conditions.

Bio-magnetic therapy also consists of systematically laying strong magnetic bars over affected areas for a duration of approximately 30 minutes to an hour two or three times daily. For many conditions the application of several acu-magnets will be more convenient and often as effective, especially for less serious conditions.

Magnetic Mattresses and Mattress Pads
Magnetic mattresses, mattress pads and pillows are designed to provide a sound and restful sleep. The result is that we awaken with more energy, alertness and fewer aches and pains. For those who are bedridden, they powerfully help to prevent bedsores. The best utilize 800 gauss which is safe for ongoing nightly use. They are firm and made with the finest quality patented rubberthane with a grid of nub-like protrusions that stimulate vital energy centers and aid in promoting better circulation and lymphatic flow while sleeping.

The pillow is firm and in addition to the magnets, has a strip of ceramic tiles that help to redistribute heat away from the head. This is because of the belief that it is best to have the head cool and the feet warm when sleeping. Many with chronic neck and shoulder aches and those who snore excessively or suffer from sleep apnea (stopped breathing while sleeping) have received significant benefit from the magnetic pillow.

Because the Japanese have had a long history of appreciation for natural health products it is estimated that one out of eight Japanese use a magnetic mattress sleep system.. This is further reflected in the lead the Japanese have taken in researching magnetic and other natural magnetic products.

A few individuals may experience temporary discomfort when first sleeping on a magnetic sleep system. This is because with greater circulation, more toxins are being flushed out at an increased rate. For these, it may take gradual periodic use over several days or weeks. The time spent acclimatizing to it is worth the investment to one’s personal health and wellness and provides a significant passive contribution long term health and wellness. In the resources section at the end of the book there is a list of distributors and suppliers of these and other magnet products.

Magnetized Water
The proclaimed healing powers of various naturally occurring baths at places such as Lourdes, France, Sedona, Arizona and Jesus Chahin’s well in Tlacote, Mexico, occurs in areas where there is reportedly higher naturally occurring magnetic energy. One way to naturally magnetize water is to run it through 30 feet of sand where it will emerge negatively poled because of the effect of minute quartz sand crystals. This water emerges saturated with oxygen that is able to kill germs, build bodily strength and support the immune system. Water so treated will show a change of temperature, surface tension, viscosity and electrical conductivity. Just as chemicals change weight after being subjected to magnetic fields, so does water. More hydroxyl (OH-) ions are generated to form calcium bicarbonate and other alkaline particles. Normal water has a pH level of around 7, while magnetized water can reach 9.2 pH after exposure to a 7000 gauss strength magnet. This has been shown to be enough to destroy cancer cells.(6)(Barefoot and Reich).

Cancer is practically unknown to the Hopi Indians of Arizona and the Hunza of Pakistan, so long as they drink from their local water supply which is rich in rubidium and potassium in the case of the Hopi water and rich in caesium and otassium for the Hunza people. The salts of these alkalinizing minerals have the effect of counteracting toxic acidity by raising body pH. Cancer cells are destroyed with an enriched oxygenated environment.

By standing a container of water on either the South or North pole of a magnet for a period of approximately 24 hours, one can imbue it with specific Yin, sedating and dispersing properties or Yang, tonifying and coalescing properties. This water can then be taken internally throughout the day. Water can also be potentized by tying or taping South and North pole magnets to opposite sides of a rectangular bottle or jug.

Herbal teas intended for tonification can be augmented by setting the cup of tea on a South Magnetized surface for an hour or so before drinking. If the tea consists of dispersing, anti-inflammatory or sedative herbs, then the North pole of the magnet should be used.

Special magnetic cups and containers for making magnetized water are available from various magnetic product suppliers and Japanese sources.

Magnetic Insoles
There are magnetic insoles that fit in the shoes. One side has small bumps to provide added foot reflexology stimulation to the feet and the other side is smooth. The bipolar magnets are not only in the bumps but throughout the entire surface.

The feet and legs are sometimes called the ‘second heart’ because return circulation from this area of the body is vital to health. Besides being highly effective for all foot problems (such as diabetic and other neuropathies) regular use of magnetic insoles increase energy and vitality throughout the day. Like the magnetic bed, wearing these insoles constitute an effective passive long term investment in one’s health.

Magnetic Balls
These are remarkable because while they have a very low gauss strength, when the balls are rapidly revolved or manipulated they shoot their electrons out for some distances.They can be rolled on the body to relieve injury and pains. They can also rolled in the palms to relieve stiffness and arthritic pains in the hands and fingers.

Electro magnets
These are used by practitioners and hospitals for chronic disease including bone and scar tissue healing, sciatica, arthritis, and sports injuries. Sports therapists were among the first to introduce the use of medical magnets. The combined use of electromagnetic machines with permanent magnets has been found to reduce by half the time required for healing injuries, sprains, tendon and muscle injuries. These machines are especially effective for treating large areas of pain.

Magnetic Jewelry
Necklaces can be used for diseases of the chest, throat, neck, shoulders, sore throat, asthma, irregular heart beat and angina. Bracelets and rings are worn for controlling blood pressure as well as hand and arm pain. They are available in many designs ranging from 1600 to 5000 gauss.

Magnetite or Lodestone
These are naturally occurring magnets associated with a type of iron ore. Generally the Gauss rating is low, from 300 to no more than 700 Gauss. Since ancient times, jewelry in the form of necklaces, bracelets and rings were worn for various therapeutic reasons. The Egyptians believed the magnet had a divine power and wore them to relieve headache, gout, dropsy and to maintain, vitality and health. Cleopatra (69-30 BC) supposedly wore a polished lodestone magnet on her forehead to maintain her beauty.

BIOMAGNETIC TREATMENT OF THE WHOLE BODY
Biomagnetics can be used to treat the body systemically as oposed to their use over specific acupuncture points or what are known as pain or ‘trigger” points.

There is a difference in the energy between the upper from the lower, the right from the left sides of the body. The area from the chest upwards tends to reflect the more positive, outgoing energy. With imbalance, this can manifest to extreme with symptoms ranging from skin eruptions, mental excitation, eye, ear, nose, throat and lung problems and hypertension. For this reason the North magnet is more frequently indicated in this area to disperse the excess. The lower area of the body, below the umbilicus, is often over extended upward and needs South or coalescing, grounding energy. The right side of the body is the more positive side and usually gets the North magnet while the left side which is more negative, receives the South magnet. Thus the following configurations have been adopted for systemic treatment:

Diseases above the navel: Place the right hand on the North magnet and the left hand on bio South for 15 to 30 minutes.

Diseases below the navel: Place the right foot on the North pole and the left foot on the South.

Diseases on the right side of the body: Right hand on the North pole and right foot on the South pole.

Diseases on the left side of the body: left hand on the North pole and left foot on the South.

Diseases of the digestive system: right hand on the North pole and left foot on the South.

Miscellaneous Use of Magnets
Negating the toxic effects of chemicals, sprays and preservatives from food and water.

Using a strong neodymium magnet, pass it over the food or water 7 times with the North or negative facing downwards.
Follow this by passing the positive South magnet 7 times to energize the food and water and make it easier to digest and absorb.
Purifying house water with 2 or 4 magnets

Fasten one or two (depending on the size of the pipe) negative, North magnets against the water pipe leading into the house. Approximately 2 inches higher, fasten one or two positive South magnets. These can be taped to the water pipes.

According to Dr. Albert Roy Davis, water treated in this way showed little appreciable difference in terms of mineral content, solids, pH or other factors. Testing for the relative amounts of hydrogen and oxygen it was found that the oxygen level was lower in the treated water as compared with the untreated. While hydrogen amounts were the same, the hydrogen ions were altered to present a much higher degree of activity. This was checked repeatedly with the same findings.

Water treated with either North or South magnetic field tended to reduce the nitrogen in the water, preventing it from going stale. This made it safer for both human consumption and for aquarium fish for a longer period.

Potentizing seeds
Dr. Davis discovered that seeds exposed to the magnetic force fields of the South pole for anywhere from 6 to 200 hours, when planted resulted in an improved germination and growth result, hardier plants with higher yield of fruit or vegetable products. Exposing seeds to the influence of the North magnetic polarity field resulted in thin, tall plants with poor yields. A simple method is to presoak seeds by placing them in a dish or cup with water on top of a South facing magnet for 24 hours or so before planting.

Fuel Economy
In addition to the above, there are various magnetic devices that can be fixed to the combustion system of automobile engines to economize fuel production. A five star resort in Kawaii, Hawaii, installed magnets on the natural gas system of their multimillion dollar units and found that they were able to save $60,000 a year because the gas burned cleaner.

Magnetics and Cancer
It should first be made clear that ARIZONA UNIPOLE MAGNETICS and the AUTHOR of this website DO NOT MAKE ANY CLAIM THAT BIOMAGNETS HEAL. But it should also be noted that the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) device detects cancer by seeking and mapping damaging SOUTH (positive) magnetic energy within the body.

It is a fact that people are using Negative Field Magnetic Therapy to starve cancer. Research has and is showing very promising results.

Negative Magnetic Field Therapy

Below are scientifically proven and documented facts about this therapy.

Cancer can not exist in a continuously applied strong negative magnetic field.
In his book "The Magnetic / Oxygen Answer for Cancer, 2001 ed." Dr. Philpott quotes the following statements and documentation which support his theory:

"The positive magnetic field encourages cancer growth. The negative magnetic field inhibits cancer growth."
Source: "Evaluating Perspectives on the Exposure Risks from Magnetic Fields" from "Journal of the National Medical Association" 82:9 September 1990

"The biological response to a static positive magnetic field is acid-hypoxia. The biological response to a negative magnetic field in alkaline-hyperoxia. Cancer implanted on the skin dies in response to a static negative magnetic field."
Source: "The Magnetic Blueprint of Life" written by Albert Roy Davis and Walter Rawls, published by Acres USA, Kasas City, MO, 1979

In 1982, Robert O. Becker and G. Sheldon documented that a static positive magnetic field is a signal of stress and a negative magnetic field is present during healing.
Source: "The Body Electric, Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life" published by William Morrow and Company, NY., 1986

In 1996, Raymond Raylman documented that a strong, prolonged magnetic field killed cancer.

Arthur Trappier, in 1990, documented that it is the negative magnetic field that kills cancer.

Dr. Philpott Concludes:

IT IS AN ESTABLISHED FACT THAT A PROLONGED SUSTAINED STATIC MAGNETIC FIELD PRODUCES CANCER CELL REMISSION.

Magnetic therapy of cancer replaces the acid-hypoxia-dependent transferaseenzyme catalysis (fermentation) producing ATP with alkaline-hyperoxia oxidoreductase enzyme catalysis (oxidation reduction) of producing ATP. Cancer cells are thus robbed of their ability to produce ATP by fermentation. Cancer cells die because they can not produce ATP in an alkaline-hyperoxia medium.

Acid-hypoxia is the central casual factor in degenerative diseases in general and cancer development in particular.

The initiating causes of of acid-hypoxia are many, such as, toxic reactions, physical injury, local or systemic stress, prolonged emotional stress, nutritional deficiencies and so forth.

Cancer cells die in the presence of a continuous static negative magnetic field. Both "peer reviewed" and non-peer reviewed publications confirm the death of cancer cells from a static negative magnetic field of sufficient gauss strength and sufficient prolonged duration. A static magnetic field is the breat of life for human cells and the kiss of death for invading microrganisms and cancer cells. Definative negative magnetic field therapy for the treatment of cancer is justified and recommended by both peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed evidence. .

Importance Of Polarity
Effects of Magnetic Energy on Living Metabolic Systems

The worlds leading authority Dr. William H. Philpott states in his Biomagnetic Handbook "The application of both a positive and negative magnetic field at the same time in the same area does not serve a useful purpose."

He is basically talking about bipolar magnets which account for about 95% of all magnetic therapeutics sold today.

.Present Day Observations on Magnetics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Variations in the earth's magnetic field are important to all living beings on the planet. Scientists are aware that this field is in a constant state of flux as it is influenced by the solar winds, shifts in the magnetic core, and the presence of ferromagnetic substances in the earth's crust.

Current research shows that the earth's field periodically waxes and wanes, and even reverses itself entirely. Though the reasons for this are not currently known, geological evidence indicates that the strength of the field gradually grows weaker, reaches a minimum or disappears entirely, and then builds again the opposite direction. This results in a reversal of the North and South magnetic poles. Scientists estimate that such reversals take place about every one-half to one million years. The most recent reversal took place about 700,000 years ago.

Other scientist have documented that the earth's magnetic field has degraded about 50% over the last 500 - 1,000 years, with a full 5% decline being recorded in the past 100 years. Calculations are that if this degradation continues at its present rate, there will not be a sufficient magnetic field to support life within 1500 years.

Interestingly, certain locales on Earth have inexplicably retained the strength of their magnetic fields. Among them, areas such as Sedona, Arizona and Lourdes, France, are destinations to which countless persons travel annually to experience feelings of well-being and to seek healing.

Much research and interest is now directed toward the electrical nature of life. Scientists have established beyond any doubt that all living cells are electrical in nature. The functioning of the cells and nervous system of every living being is based on direct current (DC) and pulsed DC energy. Without this energy, there is no life. Each individual cell possesses a positive electrical charge at its nucleus and a negative electrical charge on its outer membrane.

This positive-negative polarization allows each cell to function in an orderly and healthy manner. As cells perform their normal bodily functions, this electromagnetic charge wears down. The body attempts to revitalize these "tired" cells by sending pulses of electromagnetic energy from the brain through the nervous system to recharge the cells and strengthen the polarized field.

The energy can be diminished or blocked conditions found throughout today's environment, resulting in a host of modern maladies. These can range from headaches and fatigue to tumors and disruption of both circulatory and digestive systems, along with other specific and non-specific ailments.

Noted researchers, including the U.S. Surgeon General, warn of the harmful effects of the "electric smog" from televisions, radio, radar, electric blankets, waterbed heaters, household appliances, excessive exposure to computers, power lines, and other sources.

Sensitive instruments show that man's mushrooming alternating current (AC) electronic technology is creating interference with the earth's natural magnetic fields. Within the typical home or work environment, the AC radiation is sufficiently prolific enough to overpower the earth's natural magnetic field by up to 16 times. In today's buildings, the iron and steel alone can deplete the magnetic field by more than half.

The earth produces its own direct current (DC) magnetic pulses that support the natural biorhythms of all living things. However, as mentioned earlier, scientists are becoming increasingly alarmed that the present-day magnetic field of the earth has and continues to diminish significantly.

A radiation researcher at Arizona State University believes that the ordinary 60 cycle household AC electricity and higher frequencies such as those from radio broadcasts and radar can cause memory loss, headaches, changes in heart rates, blood chemistry and general malaise.

European scientists report such daily exposure is cumulative and contributes to sluggishness, headaches, and both digestive and circulatory problems. At the University of Colorado in Boulder, Dr. Nancy Wertheimer has reported increased cancer among children in "high current" dwellings.

According to Dr. William Adey, an American cancer researcher, this "electronic smog" can block the brains electromagnetic signals to the cells, thereby undermining the body's disease-fighting ability and promoting tumors.

Dr. Robert O. Becker, M.D., one of America's pioneers in the field of research on regeneration and electrical currents in living things, has achieved what have been termed "miraculous" results in healing with biomagnetic therapy. He has gone so far as to speculate that electro-pollution, in addition to causing some cancers, may be contributing to the onslaught of such maladies as Reye's syndrome, Lyme disease, Legionnaire's disease, and AIDS.

Kyoichi Nakagawa, M.D., one of the world's foremost authorities on magnetism and its therapeutic effects on the human body, claims that the continuing degrading of the earth's magnetic field, combined with mans electronic environment, is responsible for a broad range of ailments which he labels as the Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome. These ailments include stiffness of the shoulders, back pain, neck pain, uncertain low back pain, chest pains for no specific reason, habitual headache, heaviness of head, dizziness, insomnia for uncertain reasons, habitual constipation and general fatigue.

I think it is worth noting, that in Japan, one out of every five households has some Natural Magnetic Field and/or Far Infrared Field product to assist in offsetting some of the difficulties cited.

The Curry Cure

A yellow pigment in foods such as mustard and curry has the potential to combat the effects of Alzheimer's Disease, traumatic injury to the head and Huntington's Disease, a UCLA-Veterans Affairs study has found.

The yellow pigment curcumin directly decreases the build-up of beta amyloid proteins by binding to it. The beta amyloid proteins collect to form plaque that disrupts neuron function in the brain, affecting thought processes which make carrying out daily activities difficult.

"(Curcumin) has interesting properties in the use against age-related diseases," said Gregory Cole, principal researcher and professor of medicine and neurology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

Curcumin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that may be effective in treating several diseases of aging.

The pigment's polarity and low molecular weight allow it to enter the highly selective blood-brain barrier, which is closed off to many drugs, to bind to the accumulated proteins....

http://www.birf.info/home/library/alt-med/altmed-curry.html

Curcumin, a chemical found in curry and turmeric, may help the immune system clear the brain of amyloid beta, which form the plaques found in Alzheimer's disease. And tumeric may also help prevent rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis. We should obviously all be eating more Indian food!...

http://www.unknowncountry.com/news/?id=5776

Researchers at the University of Texas have found that small doses of curcumin, a common ingredient in curry, not only can stop the growth of melanoma cells but also cause the cells to self destruct. The research further indicated the more curcumin that was added to melanoma cells, the greater the number of dead cells. Increasing the amount of curcumin also stopped the melanoma cells from reproducing. This is exciting news to say the least.

http://www.nilevalleyherbs.com/nileinfo/infomine2/Can_Curry_Cure_Cance.html

Eating curry may be a better cure for headaches than aspirin, according
to new research. (and, effective without the negative side effects of aspirin).
The active ingredient in aspirin, salicylic acid, occurs naturally in many Indian foods... Spices such as curry, cumin, turmeric and paprika are particularly rich sources of the ingredient.

http://www.mydr2.com/cgi-bin/english/fetch2.pl?refnum=832&querry=headache

A report published in the Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology journal presents the findings of a researching team that support the idea that compounds naturally occurring in curry spice and onion are very beneficial against colon cancer.

The Missing Dimension

Observation of time is a consequence of our mind's relationship to vibration. the slower the vibration, the more capable is the mind of perceiving it.

Mind is actually the dimension that is left out of modern physics but by including it we can come to understand quantum 'spookiness'.

Our mind is 'preset' at a given vibration which allows reception of a specific band of frequencies.

At other settings we can apprehend other frequencies and dimensions.

A lot of the technology developed by ourselves incorporates the mind dimension in its design.

Enlightenment is partly about learning to tune into other bands of vibration consciously and joyfully.

Proven Dangers Of Microwave Ovens

The Proven Dangers of Microwaves

Extracted from NEXUS Magazine, Volume 2, #25 (April-May '95).

Originally printed from the April 1994 edition of Acres, USA.

Back in May of 1989, after Tom Valentine first moved to St Paul, Minnesota, he heard on the car radio a short announcement that bolted him upright in the driver's seat. The announcement was sponsored by Young Families, the Minnesota Extension Service of the University of Minnesota: "Although microwaves heat food quickly, they are not recommended for heating a baby's bottle," the announcement said.

he bottle may seem cool to the touch, but the liquid inside may become extremely hot and could burn the baby's mouth and throat. Also, the buildup of steam in a closed container such as a baby's bottle could cause it to explode. "Heating the bottle in a microwave can cause slight changes in the milk. In infant formulas, there may be a loss of some vitamins. In expressed breast milk, some protective properties may be destroyed."

The report went on. "Warming a bottle by holding it under tap water or by setting it in a bowl of warm water, then testing it on your wrist before feeding, may take a few minutes longer, but it is much safer." Valentine asked himself: If an established institution like the University of Minnesota can warn about the loss of particular nutrient qualities in microwaved baby formula or mother's milk, then somebody must know something about microwaving they are not telling everybody.

A LAW SUIT

In early 1991, word leaked out about a lawsuit in Oklahoma. A woman named Norma Levitt had hip surgery, only to be killed by a simple blood transfusion when a nurse "warmed the blood for the transfusion in a microwave oven"! Logic suggests that if heating or cooking is all there is to it, then it doesn't matter what mode of heating technology one uses. However, it is quite apparent that there is more to 'heating' with microwaves than we've been led to believe.

Blood for transfusions is routinely warmed-but not in microwave ovens! In the case of Mrs Levitt, the microwaving altered the blood and it killed her. Does it not therefore follow that this form of heating does, indeed, do 'something different' to the substances being heated? Is it not prudent to determine what that 'something different' might do? A funny thing happened on the way to the bank with all that microwave oven revenue: nobody thought about the obvious. Only 'health nuts' who are constantly aware of the value of quality nutrition discerned a problem with the widespread 'denaturing' of our food. Enter Hans Hertel.

HANS HERTEL

In the tiny town of Wattenwil, near Basel in Switzerland, there lives a scientist who is alarmed at the lack of purity and naturalness in the many pursuits of modern mankind. He worked as a food scientist for several years with one of the many major Swiss food companies that do business on a global scale. A few years ago, he was fired from his job for questioning procedures in processing food because they denatured it. "The world needs our help,"

Hans Hertel told Tom Valentine as they shared a fine meal at a resort hotel in Todtmoss, Germany. "We, the scientists, carry the main responsibility for the present unacceptable conditions. It is therefore our job to correct the situation and bring the remedy to the world. I am striving to bring man and techniques back into harmony with nature. We can have wonderful technologies without violating nature." Hans is an intense man, driven by personal knowledge of violations of nature by corporate man and his state-supported monopolies in science, technology and education.

At the same time, as the two talked, his intensity shattered into a warm smile and he spoke of the way things could be if mankind's immense talent were to work with nature and not against her. Hans Hertel is the first scientist to conceive of and carry out a quality study on the effects of microwaved nutrients on the blood and physiology of human beings. This small but well-controlled study pointed the firm finger at a degenerative force of microwave ovens and the food produced in them.

The conclusion was clear: microwave cooking changed the nutrients so that changes took place in the participants' blood; these were not healthy changes but were changes that could cause deterioration in the human systems. Working with Bernard H. Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the University Institute for Biochemistry, Hertel not only conceived of the study and carried it out, he was one of eight participants. "To control as many variables as possible, we selected eight individuals who were strict macrobiotic diet participants from the Macrobiotic Institute at Kientel, Switzerland," Hertel explained. "We were all housed in the same hotel environment for eight weeks. There was no smoking, no alcohol and no sex." One can readily see that this protocol makes sense.

After all, how could you tell about subtle changes in a human's blood from eating microwaved food if smoking, booze, junk food, pollution, pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and everything else in the common environment were also present? "We had one American, one Canadian and six Europeans in the group. I was the oldest at 64 years, the others were in their 20s and 30s," Hertel added.

Valentine published the results of this study in Search for Health in the Spring of 1992. But the follow-up information is available only in a later edition, and also in Acres, USA. In intervals of two to five days, the volunteers in the study received one of the food variants on an empty stomach. The food variants were:

raw milk from a biofarm
the same milk conventionally cooked
pasteurized milk from Intermilk Berne
the same raw milk cooked in a microwave oven
raw vegetables from an organic farm
the same vegetables cooked conventionally
the same vegetables frozen and defrosted in the microwave oven
and the same vegetables cooked in the microwave oven
The overall experiment had some of the earmarks of the Pottenger cat studies, except that now human beings were test objects, the experiment's time-frame was shorter, and a new heat form was tested. Once the volunteers were isolated at the resort hotel, the test began. Blood samples were taken from every volunteer immediately before eating.

Then blood samples were taken at defined intervals after eating from the above-numbered milk or vegetable preparations. Significant changes were discovered in the blood of the volunteers who consumed foods cooked in the microwave oven. These changes included a decrease in all hemoglobin values and cholesterol values, especially the HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol) values and ratio.

Lymphocytes (white blood cells) showed a more distinct short-term decrease following the intake of microwaved food than after the intake of all the other variants. Each of these indicators point in a direction away from robust health and toward degeneration. Additionally, there was a highly significant association between the amount of microwave energy in the test foods and the luminous power of luminescent bacteria exposed to serum from test persons who ate that food.

This led Hertel to the conclusion that such technically derived energies may, indeed, be passed along to man inductively via consumption of microwaved food. "This process is based on physical principles and has already been confirmed in the literature," Hertel explained. The apparent additional energy exhibited by the luminescent bacteria was merely extra confirmation.

"There is extensive scientific literature concerning the hazardous effects of direct microwave radiation on living systems," Hertel continued. "It is astonishing, therefore, to realise how little effort has been made to replace this detrimental technique of microwaves with technology more in accordance with nature. "Technically produced microwaves are based on the principle of alternating current.

Atoms, molecules and cells hit by this hard electromagnetic radiation are forced to reverse polarity 1 to 100 billion times a second. There are no atoms, molecules or cells of any organic system able to withstand such a violent, destructive power for any extended period of time, not even in the low energy range of milliwatts."Of all the natural substances-which are polar-the oxygen of water molecules reacts most sensitively. This is how microwave cooking heat is generated-friction from this violence in water molecules. Structures of molecules are torn apart, molecules are forcefully deformed (called structural isomerism) and thus become impaired in quality.

HEATING FOOD

"This is contrary to conventional heating of food, in which heat transfers convectionally from without to within. Cooking by microwaves begins within the cells and molecules where water is present and where the energy is transformed into frictional heat." The question naturally arises: What about microwaves from the sun? Aren't they harmful? Hertel responded: "The microwaves from the Sun are based on principles of pulsed direct current.

These rays create no frictional heat in organic substance." In addition to violent frictional heat effects (called thermic effects), there are also athermic effects which have hardly ever been taken into account, Hertel added. "These athermic effects are not presently measurable, but they can also deform the structures of molecules and have qualitative consequences.

For example, the weakening of cell membranes by microwaves is used in the field of gene altering technology. Because of the force involved, the cells are actually broken, thereby neutralizing the electrical potentials-the very life of the cells-between the outer and inner sides of the cell membranes. Impaired cells become easy prey for viruses, fungi and other micro-organisms.

The natural repair mechanisms are suppressed, and cells are forced to adapt to a state of energy emergency: they switch from aerobic to anaerobic respiration. Instead of water and carbon dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and carbon monoxide are produced." It has long been pointed out in the literature that any reversal of healthy cell processes may occur because of a number of reasons, and our cells then revert from a "robust oxidation" to an unhealthy "fermentation".

The same violent friction and athermic deformations that can occur in our bodies when we are subjected to radar or microwaves, happens to the molecules in the food cooked in a microwave oven. In fact, when anyone microwaves food, the oven exerts a power input of about 1,000 watts or more. This radiation results in destruction and deformation of molecules of food, and in the formation of new compounds (called radiolytic compounds) unknown to man and nature.

Today's established science and technology argues forcefully that microwaved food and irradiated foods do not have any significantly higher "radiolytic compounds" than do broiled, baked or other conventionally cooked foods-but microwaving does produce more of these critters. Curiously, neither established science nor our ever-protective government has conducted tests-on the blood of the eaters-of the effects of eating various kinds of cooked foods. Hertel and his group did test it, and the indication is clear that something is amiss and that larger studies should be funded.

The apparently toxic effects of microwave cooking is another in a long list of unnatural additives in our daily diets. However, the establishment has not taken kindly to this work. "The first drawing of blood samples took place on an empty stomach at 7.45 each morning," Hertel explained. "The second drawing of blood took place 15 minutes after the food intake. The third drawing was two hours later." >From each sample, 50 ml of blood was used for the chemistry and five millimetres for the hematology and the luminescence. The hematological examinations took place immediately after drawing the samples.

Erythrocytes, hemoglobin, mean hemoglobin concentration, mean hemoglobin content, leukocytes and lymphocytes were measured. The chemical analysis consisted of iron, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. The results of erythrocyte, hemoglobin, hematocrit and leukocyte determinations were at the "lower limits of normal" in those tested following the eating of the microwaved samples. "These results show anaemic tendencies. The situation became even more pronounced during the second month of the study," Hertel added.

"And with those decreasing values, there was a corresponding increase of cholesterol values." Hertel admits that stress factors, from getting punctured for the blood samples so often each day, for example, cannot be ruled out, but the established baseline for each individual became the "zero values" marker, and only changes from the zero values were statistically determined. With only one round of test substances completed, the different effects between conventionally prepared food and microwaved food were marginal-although noticed as definite "tendencies".

As the test continued, the differences in the blood markers became "statistically significant". The changes are generally considered to be signs of stress on the body. For example, erythrocytes tended to increase after eating vegetables from the microwave oven. Haemoglobin and both of the mean concentration and content haemoglobin markers also tended to decrease significantly after eating the microwaved substances.

LEUKOCYTOSIS

"Leukocytosis (an increase in white blood cells)," Hertel explained, "which cannot be accounted for by normal daily deviations such as following the intake of food, is taken seriously by haematologists. Leukocyte response is especially sensitive to stress. They are often signs of pathogenic effects on the living system, such as poisoning and cell damage. The increase of leukocytes with the microwaved foods was more pronounced than with all the other variants.

It appears that these marked increases were caused entirely by ingesting the microwaved substances." The cholesterol markers were very interesting, Hertel stressed: "Common scientific belief states that cholesterol values usually alter slowly over longer periods of time. In this study, the markers increased rapidly after the consumption of the microwaved vegetables. However, with milk, the cholesterol values remained the same and even decreased with the raw milk significantly."

Hertel believes his study tends to confirm newer scientific data that suggest cholesterol may rapidly increase in the blood secondary to acute stress. "Also," he added, "blood cholesterol levels are less influenced by cholesterol content of food than by stress factors. Such stress-causing factors can apparently consist of foods which contain virtually no cholesterol-the microwaved vegetables."

It is plain to see that this individually financed and conducted study has enough meat in it to make anyone with a modicum of common sense sit up and take notice. Food from the microwave oven caused abnormal changes, representing stress, to occur in the blood of all the test individuals. Biological individuality, a key variable that makes a mockery of many allegedly scientific studies, was well accounted for by the established baselines. So, how has the brilliant world of modern technology, medicine and 'protect the public' government reacted to this impressive effort?

A GAG ORDER

As soon as Hertel and Blanc announced their results, the hammer of authority slammed down on them. A powerful trade organization, the Swiss Association of Dealers for Electroapparatuses for Households and Industry, known simply as FEA, struck swiftly. They forced the President of the Court of Seftigen, Kanton Bern, to issue a 'gag order' against Hertel and Blanc.

The attack was so ferocious that Blanc quickly recanted his support-but it was too late. He had already put into writing his views on the validity of the studies where he concurred with the opinion that microwaved food caused the blood abnormalities. Hertel stood his ground, and today is steadfastly demanding his rights to a trial. Preliminary hearings on the matter have been appealed to higher courts, and it's quite obvious the powers that be do not want a 'show trial' to erupt on this issue. In March 1993, the court handed down this decision based upon the complaint of the FEA:"Consideration.

1. Request from the plaintiff (FEA) to prohibit the defendant (Dr Ing. Hans Hertel) from declaring that food prepared in the microwave oven shall be dangerous to health and lead to changes in the blood of consumers, giving reference to pathologic troubles as also indicative for the beginning of a cancerous process. The defendant shall be prohibited from repeating such a statement in publications and in public talks by punishment laid down in the law.

2. The jurisdiction of the judge is given according to law.

3. The active legitimacy of the plaintiff is given according to the law.

4. The passive legitimacy of the defendant is given by the fact that he is the author of the polemic [published study] in question, especially since the present new and revised law allows to exclude the necessity of a competitive situation, therefore delinquents may also be persons who are not co-competitors, but may damage the competing position of others by mere declarations.[Apparently, Swiss corporations have lobbied in a law that nails "delinquents" who disparage products and might do damage to commerce by such remarks. So far, the US Constitution still preserves freedom of the press.]

5. Considering the relevant situation it is referred to three publications: the public renunciation [sic] of the so-called co-author Professor Bernard Blanc, the expertise of Professor Teuber [expert witness from the FEA] about the above-mentioned publication, the opinion of the public health authorities with regard to the present stage of research with microwave ovens as well as to repeated statements from the side of the defendant about the danger of such ovens.

6. It is not considered of importance whether or not the polemic of the defendant meets the approval of the public, because all that is necessary is that a possibility exists that such a statement could find approval with people not being experts themselves. Also, advertising involving fear is not allowed and is always disqualified by the law. The necessity for a fast interference is in no case more advised than in the processes of competition. Basically, the defendant has the right to defend himself against such accusations. This right, however, in cases of pressing danger with regard to impairing the rights of the plaintiff when this is requested.

Conclusion

On grounds of this pending request of the plaintiff, the court arrives at the conclusion that because of special presuppositions as in this case, a definite disadvantage for the plaintiff does exist, which may not easily be repaired, and therefore must be considered to be of immediate danger. The case thus warrants the request of the plaintiff to be justified, even without hearing the defendant.

Also, because it is not known when the defendant will bring further statements into the public. The judge is also of the opinion that because the publications are made up to appear as scientific, and therefore especially reliable-looking, they may cause additional bad disadvantages. It must be added that there does obviously not exist a just reason for this publication because there is no public interest for pseudo-scientific unproved declarations. Finally, these ordered measures do not prove to be disproportionate.

he defendant is prohibited, under punishment of up to F5,000, or up to one year in prison, to declare that food prepared in microwave ovens is dangerous to health and leads to pathologic troubles as also indicative for the beginning of a cancerous process. The plaintiff pays the costs. (Signed) President of the Court of Seftigen Kraemer." If you cannot imagine this kind of decision coming from a court in the United States, you have not been paying attention to the advances of administrative law.

Hertel defied the court and has loudly demanded a fair hearing on the truth of his claims. The court has continued to delay, dodge, appeal and avoid any media-catching confrontation. As of this writing, Hans is still waiting for a hearing with media coverage-and he's still talking and publishing his findings. "They have not been able to intimidate me into silence, and I will not accept their conditions," Hertel declared.

"I have appeared at large seminars in Germany, and the study results have been well-received. Also, I think the authorities are aware that scientists at Ciba-Geigy [the world's largest pharmaceutical company, headquartered in Switzerland] have vowed to support me in court." As those powerful special interests in Switzerland who desire to sell microwave ovens by the millions continued to suppress open debate on this vital issue for modern civilisation, new microwave developments blossomed in the United States.

INFANT DANGER

In the journal Pediatrics (vol. 89, no. 4, April 1992), there appeared an article titled, "Effects of Microwave Radiation on Anti-infective Factors in Human Milk". Richard Quan, M.D. from Dallas, Texas, was the lead name of the study team. John A. Kerner, M.D., from Stanford University, was also on the research team, and he was quoted in a summary article on the research that appeared in the 25 April 1992 issue of Science News.

To get the full flavour of what may lie ahead for microwaving, here is that summary article: "Women who work outside the home can express and store breast milk for feedings when they are away. But parents and caregivers should be careful how they warm this milk. A new study shows that microwaving human milk-even at a low setting-can destroy some of its important disease-fighting capabilities.

"Breast milk can be refrigerated safely for a few days or frozen for up to a month; however, studies have shown that heating the milk well above body temperature-37°ree;C-can break down not only its antibodies to infectious agents, but also its lysozymes or bacteria-digesting enzymes.

So, when paediatrician John A. Kerner, Jr, witnessed neonatal nurses routinely thawing or reheating breast milk with the microwave oven in their lounge, he became concerned. "In the April 1992 issue of Pediatrics (Part I), he and his Stanford University co-workers reported finding that unheated breast milk that was microwaved lost lysozyme activity, antibodies and fostered the growth of more potentially pathogenic bacteria.

Milk heated at a high setting (72 degree;C to 98 degree;C) lost 96 per cent of its immunoglobulin-A antibodies, agents that fend off invading microbes. "What really surprised him, Kerner said, was finding some loss of anti-infective properties in the milk microwaved at a low setting-and to a mean of just 33.5degree;C.

Adverse changes at such low temperatures suggest 'microwaving itself may in fact cause some injury to the milk above and beyond the heating'. "But Randall M. Goldblum of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston disagrees, saying: 'I don't see any compelling evidence that the microwaves did any harm.

It was the heating.' Lysozyme and antibody degradation in the coolest samples may simply reflect the development of small hot spots-potentially 60°ree;C or above-during microwaving, noted Madeleine Sigman-Grant of Pennsylvania State University, University Park. And that's to be expected, she said, because microwave heating is inherently uneven-and quite unpredictable when volumes less than four millilitres are involved, as was the case in the Kerner's study.

"Goldblum considers use of a microwave to thaw milk an especially bad idea, since it is likely to boil some of the milk before all has even liquefied. Stanford University Medical Center no longer microwaves breast milk, Kerner notes. And that's appropriate, Sigman-Grant believes, because of the small volumes of milk that hospitals typically serve newborns-especially premature infants."

CHASING A STORY

Journalist Tom Valentine, after chasing this story, found it interesting that 'scientists' have so many 'beliefs' to express rather than prove fact. Yet facts eventually snuff out credential-based conjecture. Researcher Quan, in a phone interview, said that he believed the results of research so far warranted further detailed study of the effects of microwave cooking on nutrients.

The summary sentence in an abstract of the research paper is very clear: "Microwaving appears to be contra-indicated at high temperatures, and questions regarding its safety exist even at low temperatures." The final statement of the study conclusion reads:"This preliminary study suggests that microwaving human milk could be detrimental. Further studies are needed to determine whether and how microwaving could safely be done."

Unfortunately, further studies are not scheduled at this time. If there are so many indications that the effects of microwaves on foods can degrade the foods far above the known breakdowns of standard cooking, is it not reasonable to conduct exhaustive studies on living, breathing human beings to determine if it's possible that eating microwaved foods continuously, as many people do, can be significantly detrimental to individual health? If you wanted to introduce a herbal supplement into the American mainstream and make any health claims for it, you would be subjected to exhaustive documentation and costly research.

Yet the microwave-oven industry had only to prove that the dangerous microwaves could, indeed, be contained within the oven and not escape into the surrounding area where the radiation could do damage to people. The industry must admit that some microwaves escape even in the best-made ovens. So far, not one thought has been given by the industry to the possibility that the nutrients could be so altered as to be deleterious to health.

Well, this makes sense in a land that encourages farmers to poison crops and soils with massive amounts of synthesised chemicals, and encourages food processors to use additives that enhance shelf-life of foods regardless of the potential for degrading the health of the consumer. How many hundreds of pounds of microwaved food per capita is consumed in America each year? Are we going to continue to take it from established authority, without question, on the premise that they know best?

hazards Of Microwave Cooking

The Hidden Hazards Of Microwave Cooking

by Anthony Wayne and Lawrence Newell

Is it possible that millions of people are ignorantly sacrificing their health in exchange for the convenience of microwave ovens? Why did the Soviet Union ban the use of microwave ovens in 1976? Who invented microwave ovens, and why? The answers to these questions may shock you into throwing your microwave oven in the trash.

Over 90% of American homes have microwave ovens used for meal preparation. Because microwave ovens are so convenient and energy efficient, as compared to conventional ovens, very few homes or restaurants are without them. In general, people believe that whatever a microwave oven does to foods cooked in it doesn't have any negative effect on either the food or them.

Of course, if microwave ovens were really harmful, our government would never allow them on the market, would they? Would they? Regardless of what has been "officially" released concerning microwave ovens, we have personally stopped using ours based on the research facts outlined in this article.

The purpose of this report is to show proof - evidence - that microwave cooking is not natural, nor healthy, and is far more dangerous to the human body than anyone could imagine.

However, the microwave oven manufacturers, Washington City politics, and plain old human nature are suppressing the facts and evidence. Because of this, people are continuing to microwave their food - in blissful ignorance - without knowing the effects and danger of doing so.

How do microwave ovens work?

Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic energy, like light waves or radio waves, and occupy a part of the electromagnetic spectrum of power, or energy. In our modern technological age, microwaves are used to relay long distance telephone signals, television programs, and computer information across the earth or to a satellite in space. But the microwave is most familiar to us as an energy source for cooking food.

Every microwave oven contains a magnetron, a tube in which electrons are affected by magnetic and electric fields in such a way as to produce micro wavelength radiation at about 2450 Mega Hertz (MHz) or 2.45 Giga Hertz (GHz). This microwave radiation interacts with the molecules in food.

All wave energy changes polarity from positive to negative with each cycle of the wave. In microwaves, these polarity changes happen millions of times every second. Food molecules - especially the molecules of water - have a positive and negative end in the same way a magnet has a north and a south polarity.

In commercial models, the oven has a power input of about 1000 watts of alternating current. As these microwaves generated from the magnetron bombard the food, they cause the polar molecules to rotate at the same frequency millions of times a second.

All this agitation creates molecular "friction", which heats up the food. This unusual type of heating also causes substantial damage to the surrounding molecules, often tearing them apart or forcefully deforming them.

By comparison, microwaves from the sun are based on principles of pulsed direct current (DC) that don't create frictional heat; microwave ovens use alternating current (AC) creating frictional heat.

A microwave oven produces a spiked wavelength of energy with all the power going into only one narrow frequency of the energy spectrum. Energy from the sun operates in a wide frequency spectrum.

Many terms are used in describing electromagnetic waves, such as wavelength, amplitude, cycle and frequency:

Wavelength determines the type of radiation, i.e. radio, X-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, etc.
Amplitude determines the extent of movement measured from the starting point.
Cycle determines the unit of frequency, such as cycles per second, Hertz, Hz, or cycles/second.
Frequency determines the number of occurrences within a given time period (usually 1 second); The number of occurrences of a recurring process per unit of time, i.e. the number of repetitions of cycles per second.
Radiation = spreading energy with electromagnetic waves
We've all been told that microwaving food is not the same as irradiating it (radiation "treatment"). The two processes are supposed to use completely different waves of energy and at different intensities.

No FDA or officially released government studies have proven current microwaving usage to be harmful, but we all know that the validity of studies can be - and are sometimes deliberately - limiting. Many of these studies are later proven to be inaccurate. As consumers, we're supposed to have a certain degree of common sense to use in judgment.

Take the example of eggs and how they were "proven" to be so harmful to our health in the late 1960's. This brought about imitation egg products and big profits for the manufacturers, while egg farms went broke.

Now, recent government sponsored studies are saying that eggs are not bad for us after all. So, whom should we believe and what criteria should we use to decide matters concerning our health?

Since it's currently published that microwaves - purportedly - don't leak into the environment, when properly used and with approved design, the decision lies with each consumer as to whether or not you choose to eat food heated by a microwave oven or even purchase one in the first place.

Motherly instincts are right

On a more humorous side, the "sixth sense" every mother has is impossible to argue with. Have you ever tried it? Children will never win against a mother's intuition. It's like trying to argue with the arm - appearing out of nowhere - that pinned you to the back of the seat when your mother slammed on the brakes.

Many of us come from a generation where mothers and grandmothers have distrusted the modern "inside out" cooking they claimed was "not suitable" for most foods. My mother refused to even try baking anything in a microwave.

She also didn't like the way a cup of coffee tasted when heated in a microwave oven. I have to fully agree and can't argue either fact. Her own common sense and instincts told her that there was no way microwave cooking could be natural nor make foods "taste they way they're supposed to".

Reluctantly, even my mother succumbed to re-heating leftovers in a microwave due to her work schedule before she retired.

Many others feel the same way, but they're considered an "old fashioned" minority dating back to before the 1970's when microwaves first overwhelmed the market.

Like most young adults at the time, as microwave ovens became commonplace, I chose to ignore my mother's intuitive wisdom and joined the majority who believed microwave cooking was far too convenient to ever believe anything could be wrong with it.

Chalk one up for mom's perception, because even though she didn't know the scientific, technical, or health reasons why, she just knew that microwave ovens were not good based on how foods tasted when they were cooked in them. She didn't like the way the texture of the microwaved food changed either.

Microwaves unsafe for baby's milk

A number of warnings have been made public, but have been barely noticed. For example, Young Families, the Minnesota Extension Service of the University of Minnesota, published the following in 1989:

"Although microwaves heat food quickly, they are not recommended for heating a baby's bottle. The bottle may seem cool to the touch, but the liquid inside may become extremely hot and could burn the baby's mouth and throat.

Also, the buildup of steam in a closed container, such as a baby bottle, could cause it to explode. Heating the bottle in a microwave can cause slight changes in the milk. In infant formulas, there may be a loss of some vitamins.

In expressed breast milk, some protective properties may be destroyed. Warming a bottle by holding it under tap water, or by setting it in a bowl of warm water, then testing it on your wrist before feeding may take a few minutes longer, but it is much safer."

Dr. Lita Lee of Hawaii reported in the December 9, 1989 Lancet:

"Microwaving baby formulas converted certain trans-amino acids into their synthetic cis-isomers. Synthetic isomers, whether cis-amino acids or trans-fatty acids, are not biologically active.

Further, one of the amino acids, L-proline, was converted to its d-isomer, which is known to be neurotoxic (poisonous to the nervous system) and nephrotoxic (poisonous to the kidneys). It's bad enough that many babies are not nursed, but now they are given fake milk (baby formula) made even more toxic via microwaving."

Microwaved blood kills patient

In 1991, there was a lawsuit in Oklahoma concerning the hospital use of a microwave oven to warm blood needed in a transfusion. The case involved a hip surgery patient, Norma Levitt, who died from a simple blood transfusion.

It seems the nurse had warmed the blood in a microwave oven. This tragedy makes it very apparent that there's much more to "heating" with microwaves than we've been led to believe. Blood for transfusions is routinely warmed, but not in microwave ovens. In the case of Mrs. Levitt, the microwaving altered the blood and it killed her.

It's very obvious that this form of microwave radiation "heating" does something to the substances it heats. It's also becoming quite apparent that people who process food in a microwave oven are also ingesting these "unknowns".

Because the body is electrochemical in nature, any force that disrupts or changes human electrochemical events will affect the physiology of the body. This is further described in Robert O. Becker's book, The Body Electric, and in Ellen Sugarman's book, Warning, the Electricity Around You May Be Hazardous to Your Health.

Scientific evidence and facts

In Comparative Study of Food Prepared Conventionally and in the Microwave Oven, published by Raum & Zelt in 1992, at 3(2): 43, it states

"A basic hypothesis of natural medicine states that the introduction into the human body of molecules and energies, to which it is not accustomed, is much more likely to cause harm than good.

Microwaved food contains both molecules and energies not present in food cooked in the way humans have been cooking food since the discovery of fire. Microwave energy from the sun and other stars is direct current based.

Artificially produced microwaves, including those in ovens, are produced from alternating current and force a billion or more polarity reversals per second in every food molecule they hit.

Production of unnatural molecules is inevitable. Naturally occurring amino acids have been observed to undergo isomeric changes (changes in shape morphing) as well as transformation into toxic forms, under the impact of microwaves produced in ovens.

One short-term study found significant and disturbing changes in the blood of individuals consuming microwaved milk and vegetables. Eight volunteers ate various combinations of the same foods cooked different ways.

All foods that were processed through the microwave ovens caused changes in the blood of the volunteers. Hemoglobin levels decreased and over all white cell levels and cholesterol levels increased. Lymphocytes decreased.

Luminescent (light-emitting) bacteria were employed to detect energetic changes in the blood. Significant increases were found in the luminescence of these bacteria when exposed to blood serum obtained after the consumption of microwaved food."

The Swiss clinical study

Dr. Hans Ulrich Hertel, who is now retired, worked as a food scientist for many years with one of the major Swiss food companies that do business on a global scale. A few years ago, he was fired from his job for questioning certain processing procedures that denatured the food.

In 1991, he and a Lausanne University professor published a research paper indicating that food cooked in microwave ovens could pose a greater risk to health than food cooked by conventional means.

An article also appeared in issue 19 of the Journal Franz Weber in which it was stated that the consumption of food cooked in microwave ovens had cancerous effects on the blood. The research paper itself followed the article. On the cover of the magazine there was a picture of the Grim Reaper holding a microwave oven in one of his hands.

Dr. Hertel was the first scientist to conceive and carry out a quality clinical study on the effects microwaved nutrients have on the blood and physiology of the human body.

His small but well controlled study showed the degenerative force produced in microwave ovens and the food processed in them. The scientific conclusion showed that microwave cooking changed the nutrients in the food; and, changes took place in the participants' blood that could cause deterioration in the human system.

Hertel's scientific study was done along with Dr. Bernard H. Blanc of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and the University Institute for Biochemistry.

In intervals of two to five days, the volunteers in the study received one of the following food variants on an empty stomach: (1) raw milk; (2) the same milk conventionally cooked; (3) pasteurized milk; (4) the same raw milks cooked in a microwave oven; (5) raw vegetables from an organic farm; (6) the same vegetables cooked conventionally; (7) the same vegetables frozen and defrosted in a microwave oven; and (8) the same vegetables cooked in the microwave oven.

Once the volunteers were isolated, blood samples were taken from every volunteer immediately before eating. Then, blood samples were taken at defined intervals after eating from the above milk or vegetable preparations.

Significant changes were discovered in the blood samples from the intervals following the foods cooked in the microwave oven. These changes included a decrease in all hemoglobin and cholesterol values, especially the ratio of HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol) values.

Lymphocytes (white blood cells) showed a more distinct short-term decrease following the intake of microwaved food than after the intake of all the other variants. Each of these indicators pointed to degeneration.

Additionally, there was a highly significant association between the amount of microwave energy in the test foods and the luminous power of luminescent bacteria exposed to serum from test persons who ate that food.

This led Dr. Hertel to the conclusion that such technically derived energies may, indeed, be passed along to man inductively via eating microwaved food.

According to Dr. Hertel,

"Leukocytosis, which cannot be accounted for by normal daily deviations, is taken very seriously by hemotologists. Leukocytes are often signs of pathogenic effects on the living system, such as poisoning and cell damage.

The increase of leukocytes with the microwaved foods were more pronounced than with all the other variants. It appears that these marked increases were caused entirely by ingesting the microwaved substances.

This process is based on physical principles and has already been confirmed in the literature. The apparent additional energy exhibited by the luminescent bacteria was merely an extra confirmation.

There is extensive scientific literature concerning the hazardous effects of direct microwave radiation on living systems. It is astonishing, therefore, to realize how little effort has been taken to replace this detrimental technique of microwaves with technology more in accordance with nature.

Technically produced microwaves are based on the principle of alternating current. Atoms, molecules, and cells hit by this hard electromagnetic radiation are forced to reverse polarity 1-100 billion times a second.

There are no atoms, molecules or cells of any organic system able to withstand such a violent, destructive power for any extended period of time, not even in the low energy range of milliwatts.

Of all the natural substances - which are polar - the oxygen of water molecules reacts most sensitively. This is how microwave cooking heat is generated - friction from this violence in water molecules.

Structures of molecules are torn apart, molecules are forcefully deformed, called structural isomerism, and thus become impaired in quality. This is contrary to conventional heating of food where heat transfers convectionally from without to within.

Cooking by microwaves begins within the cells and molecules where water is present and where the energy is transformed into frictional heat.

In addition to the violent frictional heat effects, called thermic effects, there are also athermic effects which have hardly ever been taken into account. These athermic effects are not presently measurable, but they can also deform the structures of molecules and have qualitative consequences.

For example the weakening of cell membranes by microwaves is used in the field of gene altering technology. Because of the force involved, the cells are actually broken, thereby neutralizing the electrical potentials, the very life of the cells, between the outer and inner side of the cell membranes.

Impaired cells become easy prey for viruses, fungi and other microorganisms. The natural repair mechanisms are suppressed and cells are forced to adapt to a state of energy emergency - they switch from aerobic to anaerobic respiration. Instead of water and carbon dioxide, the cell poisons hydrogen peroxide and carbon monoxide are produced."

The same violent deformations that occur in our bodies, when we are directly exposed to radar or microwaves, also occur in the molecules of foods cooked in a microwave oven.

This radiation results in the destruction and deformation of food molecules. Microwaving also creates new compounds, called radiolytic compounds, which are unknown fusions not found in nature. Radiolytic compounds are created by molecular decomposition - decay - as a direct result of radiation.

Microwave oven manufacturers insist that microwaved and irradiated foods do not have any significantly higher radiolytic compounds than do broiled, baked or other conventionally cooked foods.

The scientific clinical evidence presented here has shown that this is simply a lie. In America, neither universities nor the federal government have conducted any tests concerning the effects on our bodies from eating microwaved foods. Isn't that a bit odd?

They're more concerned with studies on what happens if the door on a microwave oven doesn't close properly. Once again, common sense tells us that their attention should be centered on what happens to food cooked inside a microwave oven.

Since people ingest this altered food, shouldn't there be concern for how the same decayed molecules will affect our own human biological cell structure?

Industry's action to hide the truth

As soon as Doctors Hertel and Blanc published their results, the authorities reacted. A powerful trade organization, the Swiss Association of Dealers for Electro-apparatuses for Households and Industry, known as FEA, struck swiftly in 1992.

They forced the President of the Court of Seftigen, Canton of Bern, to issue a "gag order" against Drs. Hertel and Blanc. In March 1993, Dr. Hertel was convicted for "interfering with commerce" and prohibited from further publishing his results. However, Dr. Hertel stood his ground and fought this decision over the years.

Not long ago, this decision was reversed in a judgment delivered in Strasbourg, Austria, on August 25, 1998. The European Court of Human Rights held that there had been a violation of Hertel's rights in the 1993 decision.

The European Court of Human Rights also ruled that the "gag order" issued by the Swiss court in 1992 against Dr. Hertel, prohibiting him from declaring that microwave ovens are dangerous to human health, was contrary to the right to freedom of expression. In addition, Switzerland was ordered to pay Dr. Hertel compensation.

Carcinogens in microwaved food

In Dr. Lita Lee's book, Health Effects of Microwave Radiation - Microwave Ovens, and in the March and September 1991 issues of Earthletter, she stated that every microwave oven leaks electro-magnetic radiation, harms food, and converts substances cooked in it to dangerous organ-toxic and carcinogenic products.

Further research summarized in this article reveal that microwave ovens are far more harmful than previously imagined.

The following is a summary of the Russian investigations published by the Atlantis Raising Educational Center in Portland, Oregon. Carcinogens were formed in virtually all foods tested.

No test food was subjected to more microwaving than necessary to accomplish the purpose, i.e., cooking, thawing, or heating to insure sanitary ingestion. Here's a summary of some of the results:

Microwaving prepared meats sufficiently to insure sanitary ingestion caused formation of d-Nitrosodienthanolamines, a well-known carcinogen.
Microwaving milk and cereal grains converted some of their amino acids into carcinogens.
Thawing frozen fruits converted their glucoside and galactoside containing fractions into carcinogenic substances.
Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked or frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens.
Carcinogenic free radicals were formed in microwaved plants, especially root vegetables.
Decrease in nutritional value
Russian researchers also reported a marked acceleration of structural degradation leading to a decreased food value of 60 to 90% in all foods tested. Among the changes observed were:
Deceased bio-availability of vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics factors in all food tested.
Various kinds of damaged to many plant substances, such as alkaloids, glucosides, galactosides and nitrilosides.
The degradation of nucleo-proteins in meats.
Microwave sickness is discovered

The Russians did research on thousands of workers who had been exposed to microwaves during the development of radar in the 1950's. Their research showed health problems so serious that the Russians set strict limits of 10 microwatts exposure for workers and one microwatt for civilians.

In Robert O. Becker's book, The Body Electric, he described Russian research on the health effects of microwave radiation, which they called "microwave sickness." On page 314, Becker states:

"It's [Microwave sickness] first signs are low blood pressure and slow pulse. The later and most common manifestations are chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous system [stress syndrome] and high blood pressure.

This phase also often includes headache, dizziness, eye pain, sleeplessness, irritability, anxiety, stomach pain, nervous tension, inability to concentrate, hair loss, plus an increased incidence of appendicitis, cataracts, reproductive problems, and cancer.

The chronic symptoms are eventually succeeded by crisis of adrenal exhaustion and ischemic heart disease [the blockage of coronary arteries and heart attacks]."

According to Dr. Lee, changes are observed in the blood chemistries and the rates of certain diseases among consumers of microwaved foods. The symptoms above can easily be caused by the observations shown below. The following is a sample of these changes:


Lymphatic disorders were observed, leading to decreased ability to prevent certain types of cancers.


An increased rate of cancer cell formation was observed in the blood.
Increased rates of stomach and intestinal cancers were observed.
Higher rates of digestive disorders and a gradual breakdown of the systems of elimination were observed.

Microwave research conclusions
The following were the most significant German and Russian research operations facilities concerning the biological effects of microwaves:

The initial research conducted by the Germans during the Barbarossa military campaign, at the Humbolt-Universitat zu Berlin (1942-1943); and,

From 1957 and up to the present [until the end of the cold war], the Russian research operations were conducted at: the Institute of Radio Technology at Kinsk, Byelorussian Autonomous Region; and, at the Institute of Radio Technology at Rajasthan in the Rossiskaja Autonomous Region, both in the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics.

In most cases, the foods used for research analysis were exposed to microwave propagation at an energy potential of 100 kilowatts/cm3/second, to the point considered acceptable for sanitary, normal ingestion. The effects noted by both German and Russian researchers is presented in three categories:

Category I, Cancer-Causing Effects
Category II, Nutritive Destruction of Foods
Category III, Biological Effects of Exposure

CATEGORY I

CANCER-CAUSING EFFECTS

[The first two points of Category I are not readable from our report copy. The remainder of the report is intact.]

3. Creation of a "binding effect" to radioactivity in the atmosphere, thus causing a marked increase in the amount of alpha and beta particle saturation in foods;

4. Creation of cancer causing agents within protein hydrolysate compounds* in milk and cereal grains [*these are natural proteins that are split into unnatural fragments by the addition of water];

5. Alteration of elemental food-substances, causing disorders in the digestive system by unstable catabolism* of foods subjected to microwaves [*the metabolic breakdown process];

6. Due to chemical alterations within food substances, malfunctions were observed within the lymphatic systems [absorbent vessels], causing a degeneration of the immune potentials of the body to protect against certain forms of neoplastics [abnormal growths of tissue];

7. Ingestion of microwaved foods caused a higher percentage of cancerous cells within the blood serum [cytomas - cell tumors such as sarcoma];

8. Microwave emissions caused alteration in the catabolic [metabolic breakdown] behavior of glucoside [hydrolyzed dextrose] and galactoside [oxidized alcohol] elements within frozen fruits when thawed in this manner;

9. Microwave emission caused alteration of the catabolic [metabolic breakdown] behavior of plant alkaloids [organic nitrogen based elements] when raw, cooked, or frozen vegetables were exposed for even extremely short durations;

10. Cancer causing free radicals [highly reactive incomplete molecules] were formed within certain trace mineral molecular formations in plant substances, and in particular, raw root-vegetables; and,

11. In a statistically high percentage of persons, microwaved foods caused stomach and intestinal cancerous growths, as well as a general degeneration of peripheral cellular tissues, with a gradual breakdown of the function of the digestive and excretive systems.

CATEGORY II

DECREASE IN FOOD VALUE

Microwave exposure caused significant decreases in the nutritive value of all foods researched. The following are the most important findings:

1. A decrease in the bioavailability [capability of the body to utilize the nutriment] of B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, essential minerals and lipotropics in all foods;

2. A loss of 60-90% of the vital energy field content of all tested foods;

3. A reduction in the metabolic behavior and integration process capability of alkaloids [organic nitrogen based elements], glucosides and galactosides, and nitrilosides;

4. A destruction of the nutritive value of nucleoproteins in meats;

5. A marked acceleration of structural disintegration in all foods.

CATEGORY III

BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE

Exposure to microwave emissions also had an unpredictably negative effect upon the general biological welfare of humans.

This was not discovered until the Russians experimented with highly sophisticated equipment and discovered that a human did not even need to ingest the material substance of the microwaved food substances: that even exposure to the energy-field itself was sufficient to cause such adverse side effects that the use of any such microwave apparatus was forbidden in 1976 by Soviet state law.

The following are the enumerated effects:

1. A breakdown of the human "life-energy field" in those who were exposed to microwave ovens while in operation, with side-effects to the human energy field of increasingly longer duration;

2. A degeneration of the cellular voltage parallels during the process of using the apparatus, especially in the blood and lymphatic areas;

3. A degeneration and destabilization of the external energy activated potentials of food utilization within the processes of human metabolism;

4. A degeneration and destabilization of internal cellular membrane potentials while transferring catabolic [metabolic breakdown] processes into the blood serum from the digestive process;

5. Degeneration and circuit breakdowns of electrical nerve impulses within the junction potentials of the cerebrum [the front portion of the brain where thought and higher functions reside];

6. A degeneration and breakdown of nerve electrical circuits and loss of energy field symmetry in the neuroplexuses [nerve centers] both in the front and the rear of the central and autonomic nervous systems;

7. Loss of balance and circuiting of the bioelectric strengths within the ascending reticular activating system [the system which controls the function of consciousness];

8. A long term cumulative loss of vital energies within humans, animals and plants that were located within a 500-meter radius of the operational equipment;

9. Long lasting residual effects of magnetic "deposits" were located throughout the nervous system and lymphatic system;

10. A destabilization and interruption in the production of hormones and maintenance of hormonal balance in males and females;

11. Markedly higher levels of brainwave disturbance in the alpha, theta, and delta wave signal patterns of persons exposed to microwave emission fields, and;

12. Because of this brainwave disturbance, negative psychological effects were noted, including loss of memory, loss of ability to concentrate, suppressed emotional threshold, deceleration of intellective processes, and interruptive sleep episodes in a statistically higher percentage of individuals subjected to continual range emissive field effects of microwave apparatus, either in cooking apparatus or in transmission stations.

Forensic Research Conclusions

From the twenty-eight above enumerated indications, the use of microwave apparatus is definitely not advisable; and, with the decision of the Soviet government in 1976, present scientific opinion in many countries concerning the use of such apparatus is clearly in evidence.

Due to the problem of random magnetic residulation and binding within the biological systems of the body (Category III:9), which can ultimately effect the neurological systems, primarily the brain and neuroplexuses (nerve centers), long term depolarization of tissue neuroelectric circuits can result.

Because these effects can cause virtually irreversible damage to the neuroelectrical integrity of the various components of the nervous system (I. R. Luria, Novosibirsk 1975a), ingestion of microwaved foods is clearly contraindicated in all respects.

Their magnetic residual effect can render the pyschoneural receptor components of the brain more subject to influence psychologically by artificially induced microwave radio frequency fields from transmission stations and TV relay-networks.

The theoretical possibility of psycho telemetric influence (the capability of affecting human behavior by transmitted radio signals at controlled frequencies) has been suggested by Soviet neuropsychological investigations at Uralyera and Novosibirsk (Luria and Perov, 1974a, 1975c, 1976a), which can cause involuntary subliminal psychological energy field compliance to operative microwave apparatus.

Ten Reasons to Throw out your Microwave Oven

From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, we will conclude this article with the following:

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term - permanent - brain damage by "shorting out" electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down] the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent] within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumors]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in America.

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.

Have you tossed out your microwave oven yet?

After you throw out your microwave you can use a toaster oven as a replacement. It works well for most and is nearly as quick.

The use of artificial microwave transmissions for subliminal psychological control, a.k.a. "brainwashing", has also been proven. We're attempting to obtain copies of the 1970's Russian research documents and results written by Drs. Luria and Perov specifying their clinical experiments in this area.

Your Life path

Your life path while in the Third Dimension of Earth is a game, a game which you must learn to master. It is an "Alice-in-Wonderland" reality. Its principle activators are deceit, manipulation, control, delusion, amnesia, and fear. You are to overcome these tools of the darker forces and assume your Godship." Some helpful tools are:--"Know ye not that ye are Gods.
-Practice Unconditional Love and Forgiveness.
-Judge not lest ye be judged.
-Whenever possible, allow rather then control.
-There is nothing to fear but fear itself. It is illusionary and does not exist in true reality.
-Be aware of bad, or negative thoughts.
-Be aware of bad, or negative emotions - you are the sum total of your thinking, actions and emotions. You will be evaluated later upon the expression of them when passing through the astral planes."

-Virgil Armstrong, author and world lecturer, from his new book "The New Millennium, The New Seed of Consciousness and You!"

Healing Polarization

HEALING THE POLARIZATION
by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

www.eraofpeace.org

This week, we in the United States of America are celebrating a day
dedicated to giving Thanks for the blessings in our lives. This unified
endeavor gives us the opportunity to express our Gratitude individually
and collectively in ways that empower the Divine Momentum of Gratitude for
all Life on Earth. Through the consciousness of Gratitude, we can increase
the Light in every corner of the globe.

Because of the intensity of the challenges Humanity is going through at
this moment, the Company of Heaven is asking awakened Lightworkers around
the world to utilize the collective Cup of Humanity’s Consciousness this
Thanksgiving Day, and the days thereafter, to cocreate a Forcefield of
Transfiguring Divine Love that will perpetually envelop the Earth and all
Life evolving upon her. This will greatly assist in shifting the mass
consciousness of Humanity by revealing the Oneness of ALL Life. As the
Infinite Love of God floods into the hearts and minds of unawakened souls,
they will be able to raise their heads above the chaos and confusion. As
they awaken, they will live the Truth of their Oneness with all Life.

Go within, and ask the Presence of God pulsating in your heart to reveal
to you your part in this Divine Plan. If you feel the heart call to
participate, please join with fellow Lightworkers from around the world.
Weave your radiant Light into the Chalice of this Divine Mission, and
offer to serve as a surrogate on behalf of your brothers and sisters in
the Family of Humanity. Prepare to release the residue of the behavior
patterns that no longer serve your highest good, as you pave the way for
an unprecedented shift of consciousness.

Day by day, more and more people are awakening. As they awaken, they begin
to remember who they are and why they are here. This realization inspires
them to lift their hearts and minds, which, in turn, raises their
consciousness and allows the Light of God to increase on Earth.

When our consciousness is raised and the Light of God increases in our
lives, we begin to see with new eyes and hear with new ears. This
phenomenon has the wonderful effect of allowing us to clearly perceive the
Oneness of Life and the Divine Truth that all Life is interconnected,
interrelated and interdependent. We then know beyond a shadow of a doubt
that we are all One and that there is no such thing as us and them.

When this reality resonates in the deepest recesses of our hearts, the
validity of war becomes impossible to accept, and the concept of poverty,
greed, corruption, violence, abuse of power, oppression, hatred,
selfishness, prejudice, pollution, disease, ignorance and any other
reflection of our belief in separation become intolerable.

Often, from our newly awakened state of consciousness, our reflex response
is to take a stand against these negative situations and behavior
patterns. Unfortunately, this causes us to polarize ourselves against the
people involved. Any time we polarize ourselves against a person or group
of people, we motivate them to fight back. This merely widens the abyss
between us and causes further separation. We attempt to solve this problem
by arguing our case and trying to coerce the people we are polarized
against into seeing things our way. We share all of our newly acquired
insights and try to convince them that their way of thinking and feeling
is flawed. They, in turn, argue from their perspective that our way of
thinking is delusional and that we are being duped by illusions and
unrealistic idealism. Of course, these arguments are futile and only
exacerbate our polarization.

PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO NOT KNOW. When we awaken, our
consciousness is raised up, and our perception of reality is transformed.
An awakened person literally thinks, feels, sees and hears with greater
awareness. This shift of consciousness allows us to perceive a greater
Truth and to comprehend the Oneness of Life at a deeper level. This
awakening results in an indisputable inner knowing in our Heart of
Hearts.

When an unawakened person is trying to discredit the inner knowing of an
awakened person, it is like a deaf and blind person trying to convince a
sighted-hearing person that there is no such thing as color or music. The
difference in that situation is that the sighted-hearing person would
understand perfectly why the deaf and blind person was having trouble
grasping the concept of color and music. The sighted-hearing person would
have compassion for the deaf and blind person and would respond to him or
her with patience and understanding.

Unfortunately, we cannot easily tell if someone is awakened or not. We
often make the mistake of assuming that people should know more than they
do or that they should understand more than they are capable of
understanding. When we expect more from people than they are capable of,
we are generally disappointed and frustrated with their actions and their
perception of things, which only polarizes us further.

This is a very challenging time for people everywhere. It is the time that
was referred to in the Bible when “all that is hidden must now be
revealed.” It is a time when Humanity is being purged, and the negative
behavior patterns of our lower human egos are being pushed to the surface
to be healed and transmuted. This is a necessary part of our
transformation and a cleansing that must occur in order for Humanity to
complete our Ascension onto the 5th-Dimensional Spiral of Evolution. This
purification is happening for each of us individually and for all of us
collectively.

It seems as though every time we turn on the news we see widespread
reports of corporate greed, governmental corruption, atrocities of war,
gross imbalances in the economic system and myriad other things that
reflect Humanity’s fear and belief in separation. These things have
existed for a very long time, but they have not been brought to the
attention of the masses as profusely as they are at this time.

During this intense time of cleansing and awakening, people around the
world are becoming vastly polarized over every conceivable aspect of life.
They are polarized over the war, the economy, taxes, health and health
insurance, the justice system, politics, government, religion, education,
family values, lifestyles, energy, security, business, management and
labor, medicine, food, water, air, the environment and on and on ad
infinitum.

We have been told by the Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth
that Humanity is on the brink of the greatest shift of consciousness ever
known. The Earth and all her Life are Ascending up the Spiral of Evolution
into the 5th-Dimensional Realms of Limitless Physical Perfection. In order
for the Earth and Humanity to complete this Ascension process and for
Heaven on Earth to become a manifest reality, we must heal the
polarization. Then peace and abundance will be the order of the new day.

Since unawakened Humanity cannot easily grasp the concept of the Oneness
of Life, it is up to awakened Lightworkers to heal the polarization. This
means you and me and every other awakened soul on Earth. This is our
purpose and reason for being in embodiment at this time, and we already
have everything we need within us to accomplish this mighty feat.

What affects one part of Life affects all Life. In other words, as I AM
lifted up in consciousness ALL Life is lifted up with me. Instead of
polarizing against everything we disagree with, we need to create a new
reality, a reality that reflects our Oneness and makes the concept of
separation obsolete.

We have the opportunity to assist in this endeavor daily and hourly, as we
take the power of our attention away from the illusion of separation and
focus it on the vision of Heaven on Earth. When we observe something in
our life or in the world that does not reflect Oneness or the Reverence of
Life, we can invoke the Light of God into the situation and transmute the
negativity associated with it. Then we can envision what we want to create
in its place.

Instead of polarizing against our government, for instance, we can
envision the people who hold public office responding to the directives of
their I AM Presence, and we can visualize them consistently striving for
the highest good of all Humanity. When greed, selfishness and gross
imbalances in the distribution of wealth are brought to our attention, we
can envision the I AM Presence of the people involved taking command of
their hearts and minds, and we can visualize them responding with
integrity, generosity and a willingness to assist those who are less
fortunate than themselves.

Whatever we focus our thoughts, words, actions and feelings on, we bring
into form. We need to create the vision of what we want life on Earth to
be like, and then we need to set about creating that new reality.

In addition to empowering the vision of Heaven on Earth with our every
thought, word, action and feeling, we have the ability to serve as
surrogates on behalf of all Humanity. Since all Life is interconnected,
when we lift into a higher level of consciousness or transmute an aspect
of our human consciousness that no longer serves our highest good, we also
lift and transmute the collective consciousness and energies of all
Humanity as well.

As we transmute our own obsolete behavior patterns, we need to simply ask
the I AM Presence of every man, woman and child to lift their
consciousness and to transmute their negative behavior patterns
simultaneously. The Universal Law is: Ask and you shall receive. Knock and
the door will be opened.

In Deep Gratitude for our ability to serve Life on this sweet Earth, let’s
join together and cocreate a unified forcefield of Transfiguring Divine
Love. This forcefield will be far more powerful in its impact on
Humanity’s global consciousness than any of the other humanly generated
forcefields of energy perpetuating the serious problems facing us on this
planet. It is a Universal Law that if the inner conditions or forces
within Humanity’s global consciousness are transformed through Love, the
outer conditions of the world will proceed to reflect the Divine Plan for
the Earth.

The Divine Plan for the Earth is a living, active, all-powerful forcefield
that will produce perfection if not interfered with through our lower,
human free will. In the Heavenly Realms, the Beings of Light work purely
and precisely with the great Forces of Cause knowing full well that the
effects will take care of themselves. Most of us are currently trying to
manage EFFECTS in our lives rather than focusing on the CAUSE, which will
truly change the situation from within. Trying to change things by
focusing on the effects is like trying to change the reflection in the
mirror without changing the object that is causing the reflection. It is a
futile effort.

To insure the transformation of inner conditions for Humanity and the
Earth, we will join together and create a forcefield of Transfiguring
Divine Love. Centered within unity consciousness, our collective spiritual
ability will empower each of us to accomplish this Divine Plan.

VISUALIZATION

Please focus on this visualization now with the full power of your
attention, knowing that you are joining in one-pointed consciousness with
Lightworkers around the world.

Our Father-Mother God now expands the Flame of Transfiguring Divine Love
blazing in every Human Heart. This influx of Light creates a tremendous
magnetic Heart of Divine Love that is now enveloping the entire Planet
Earth. The blazing Heart of Transfiguring Love magnetically attracts the
energy, vibration and consciousness from every Ascended level of Being in
the Universe into our Planetary CAUSE of manifesting the perfection of
Oneness and Reverence for ALL Life through the hearts and minds of every
man, woman and child on Earth.

Our Father-Mother God now sends forth a clarion call, and twelve
magnificent Solar Archangels of pure Divine Love descend into the
atmosphere of Earth from the electronic belt around the Great, Great
Central Sun. These powerful Archangels take their strategic positions
around the planet, as they willingly prepare to assist in this activity of
Light.

The Solar Archangels are stationed equal distance around the Earth’s
equator. As One unified Force of Transfiguring Divine Love they project
the Light from their Heart Flames into the center of the Earth and begin
conducting a symphony of Love that ensouls and interpenetrates our Beloved
Mother Earth and all Life evolving upon her.

The Love from the Archangels expands through the 5th-Dimensional Solar
Heart Chakras of every person on the planet. The I AM Presence of every
soul becomes a power point of Light unified in consciousness with the I AM
Presence of every other soul. Together we inbreathe, assimilate, expand
and project this forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love. This Sacred Fire
now blazes through all Humanity, the Elemental Kingdom, the Angelic
Kingdom and the entire atmosphere of Earth.

The I AM Presence within every person is the Open Door for this
resplendent Light. At inner levels, every person on the planet is now
experiencing this forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love. Through the I
AM Presence, every person is seeing the scintillating colors of Love,
smelling the fragrance of Love and hearing the Cosmic Tones and moving
melodies of Love. Through this activity of Light, we are all, truly, Love
in action. We are collectively changing the core vibration, the CAUSE, of
the primal Light substance, which has gone into the present conditions
manifesting on Earth.

Through the Love of our Father-Mother God, the Solar Archangels and our I
AM Presence, we are the CAUSE of this magnetic forcefield of Transfiguring
Divine Love anchored on Earth. Together we have set in place the basic
spiritual forces of Transfiguring Divine Love over which Humanity is now
Ascending out of our long exile in darkness into the 5th-Dimensional
Realms of Light.

Unified in consciousness with the Kingdoms of Earth and the Realms of
Heaven, we are the Open Door that no one can shut. We are exploring and
rediscovering the great Family of God in which we now find complete
support for the fulfillment of our Divine Plans.

This is what our Father-Mother God’s magnetic forcefield of Transfiguring
Divine Love is attracting to each of us personally and collectively as we
live within it. We are being raised into a profound awakening of Supreme
Love Consciousness. We are, here and now, the Masters of Love we were
always destined to be.

We now know ourselves as Beings of Love, accepting responsibility for
Loving this sweet Earth and all her Life FREE. We are One with this
blessed planet, and the planet is One with us.

The twelve Solar Archangels are now expanding their Light to embrace every
Human Being in a Cosmic Forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love. This
forcefield surrounds each of us and is anchored directly within the
Divinity of our hearts. (pause)

Every person's I AM Presence now affirms with a deep Inner Knowing:

I AM a planetary forcefield of Transfiguring Divine Love. The Love of God
is now thriving on Earth through me. The Heart of Transfiguring Divine
Love now enveloping the Earth is transforming the primal Light substance
of my four Earthly Bodies, as well as the physical, etheric, mental and
emotional strata of Earth.

I AM changing the inner conditions for the entire planet, and I AM setting
this Earth on a new planetary course of Divine Love. I feel complete unity
with ALL Life, and through the Holy Breath I now inbreathe, assimilate,
expand and project the Love of God into every aspect of Humanity’s
day-to-day functioning.

INBREATHING

I AM inbreathing and absorbing the healing power of Transfiguring Divine
Love into Humanity’s global consciousness.

EXHALING

I AM expanding and projecting the healing power of Transfiguring Divine
Love into Humanity’s global consciousness. (Repeat the Inbreath and the
Outbreath 3 times)

I accept that this forcefield of pure Transfiguring Divine Love is
manifest now and forever through God’s Holy Grace. It is done, and so it
is. Beloved I AM.

Now, feel this Forcefield of Divine Love permanently secured within your
Heart Flame and the Heart Flames of ALL Humanity.

End of Visualization.

Vegetarianism has been around for a very long time. Pythagorus, born 580 BC, is given the credit as being the "Father of Vegetarianism." Since the word "vegetarian" was not used until the late 19th century, vegetarians were previously known as "Pythagoreans."

Some noted vegetarians were Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Dr. J.H. Kellogg (1852-1943), Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), Albert Einstein (1879-1955), as well as Socrates, Plato, Plotinus, Plutarch, Newton, Voltaire, Shelley, Darwin, and Emerson.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), is often used as an example of famous people who were vegetarians. It is true; he was since the age of sixteen. Later, as an adult, he renounced that way of life during a sea voyage when he saw a fish cut open revealing another fish inside. He concluded that it was nature's way for one species to eat another, and promptly renounced his vegetarian ways.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1960), stated: "The average life expectancy of a meat eater is 63. I am on the verge of 85 and still work as hard as ever. I have lived quite long enough, and I am still trying to die; but I simply cannot do it. A single beef steak would finish me, but I cannot bring myself to swallow it. I am oppressed with dread of living forever. That is the only disadvantage of vegetarianism." (Melina).

Vegetarianism played a central role in certain "Christian" movements that swept across Europe and the Middle East. It seemed to center around the Gnostics and Manicheans in the 1st century of the Common Era right up to the Paulicians, Massalians, Bogomils, and Cathars in the medieval periods. Vegetarianism was repeatedly cited as one of the many reasons for the Catholic Church's condemnation of such sects and was also reason enough for arrests, persecution, torture, and death.

The Cathar movement in southern France and northern Italy became so strong that in the early 13th century, Pope Innocent III (1161-1216) ordered a Holy Crusade to stamp it out.

By the beginning of the 10th century AD, Manicheanism had a sudden period of growth in France. Pope Calixtus II held a council in Toulouse in 1119 to curse, or as the Church put it, "to anathematise" the heretics who would not give up their vegetarian ways.

By the 12th century, a group called the Apostolics was in the forefront of a simplistic lifestyle that included vegetarianism, being almost teetotal, and having no debt. They won many converts, including some from the clergy, but at great expense. The viciousness of The Church authority is outlined in writings from the Dominican order. An army of 30,000 descended on the area trampling crops, burning, and killing in order to subjugate. This army was under orders from The Church to "kill them all" solely because the Cathars believed that it was sinful to participate in marriage and to eat flesh, eggs, or cheese. Since the marriage part was also practised by the Church, it remains that the eating habits must have been the threat that was posed.

The Church established "fish days" during the latter part of the 16th century for two reasons. One was to encourage ship-building and the training of mariners. The second was to relieve the demand for meat, which was rare and expensive. A 1595 proclamation stated that if one fish day a week were observed, 135,000 head of beef could be spared each year. Thus, today's problem is not a new one.

Vegetarian restaurants are springing up all over the world, with the travel industry also recognizing the demand. For example, in 1968, there were 16 vegetarian resaurants in London and 18 in the rest of the country. Ten years later, there were 52 in London and 80 in the rest of the country. Now, it is approaching 1000 listed in the UK alone. Whether travelling by plane or train, staying in hotels, or attending conventions, provision is made for the vegetarian. Vegetarian websites are also becoming more common since books that publish their whereabouts rapidly become outdated. Along with this, comes the recognition that organic foods are in demand. It just takes minimal planning and organization to adjust to travel and eat healthy at the same time.

Lost City Discovered In The Grand Canyon

GRAND DISCOVERY

Ancient Egyptian City In the Grand Canyon?

An Egyptian tomb in the Grand Canyon similar to the Valley of Kings in Luxor, Egypt?An article published on the front page of the Phoenix Gazette on April 5,1909, claimed that just such an Egyptian rock-cut cave was found!

By David H. Childress

The Gazette article, dated April 5,1909, starts with four headlines, "Explorations in Grand Canyon", "Mysteries of Immense Rich Cavern Being Brought to Light", "JORDAN IS ENTHUSED" and "Remarkable Finds Indicate Ancient People Migrated From Orient."

The story then continued (quoted here in full): "The latest news of the progress of the explorations of what is now regarded by scientists as not only the oldest archaeological discovery in the United States, but one of the most valuable in the world, which was mentioned some time ago in the Gazette, was brought to the city by G.E. Kinkaid, the explorer who found this great underground citadel of the Grand Canyon during a trip from Green River, Wyoming, down the Colorado river, in a wooden boat, to Yuma, several months ago.

According to the story related to the Gazette, the archaeologists of the Smithsonian Institute, which is financing the explorations, have made discoveries which almost conclusively prove that the race which inhabited this mysterious cavern, hewn in solid rock by human hands, was of oriental origin, possibly from Egypt, tracing back to Rameses. If their theories are born out by the translation of the tablets engraved with hieroglyphics, the mystery of the prehistoric peoples of North America, their ancient arts, who they were and whence they came, will be solved. Egypt and the Nile, and Arizona and the Colorado will be linked by a historical chain running back to ages which stagger the wildest fancy of the fictionist.

"Under the direction of Professor S.A. Jordan, the Smithsonian is now pursuing the most thorough explorations, which will be continued until the last link in the chain is forged. Nearly a mile underground, about 1480 feet below the surface, the long main passage has been delved into, to find another mammoth chamber from which radiates scores of passageways, like the spokes of a wheel. Several hundred rooms have been discovered, reached by passageways running from the main passage, one of them having been explored for 854 feet and another 634 feet. The recent finds include articles, which have never been known as native to this country and that doubtless they had their origin in the orient. War weapons, copper instruments, sharp edged and hard as steel, indicate the high state of civilization reached by these strange people. So interested have the scientists become that preparations are being made to equip the camp for extensive studies, and the force will be increased to thirty or forty persons.

"Before going further into the cavern, better facilities for lighting will have to be installed, for the darkness is dense and quite impenetrable for the average flashlight. In order to avoid being lost, wires are being strung from the entrance to all passageways leading directly to large chambers. How far this cavern extends no one can guess, but it is now the belief of many that what has already been explored is merely the ‘barracks’, to use an American term, for the soldiers, and that further into the underworld will be found the main communal dwellings of the families. The perfect ventilation of the cavern, the steady draught that blows through, indicates that it has another outlet to the surface.

"Kinkaid was the first white man born in Idaho and has been an explorer and hunter all his life, thirty years having been in the service of the Smithsonian. Even briefly recounted, his history sounds fabulous, almost grotesque:

‘First, I would impress that the cavern is nearly inaccessible. The entrance is 1,486 feet down the sheer canyon wall. It is located on government land and no visitor will be allowed there under penalty of trespass. The scientists wish to work unmolested, without fear of the archaeological discoveries being disturbed by curio or relic hunters. A trip there would be fruitless, and the visitor would be sent on his way. The story of how I found the cavern has been related, but in a paragraph: I was journeying down the Colorado River in a boat, alone, looking for mineral. Some forty-two miles up the river from the El Tovar Crystal canyon, I saw on the east wall, stains in the sedimentary formation about 2,000 feet above the river bed. There was no trail to this point, but I finally reached it with great difficulty. Above a shelf that hid it from view from the river, was the mouth of the cave. There are steps leading from this entrance some thirty yards to what was, at the time the cavern was inhabited, the level of the river. When I saw the chisel marks on the wall inside the entrance, I become interested, securing my gun and went in. During that trip I went back several hundred feet along the main passage, until I came to the crypt in which I discovered the mummies. One of these I stood up and photographed by flashlight. I gathered a number of relics, which I carried down the Colorado to Yuma, from whence I shipped them to Washington with details of the discovery. Following this, the explorations were undertaken.’

"The main passageway is about 12 feet wide, narrowing to nine feet toward the farther end. About 57 feet from the entrance, the first side passages branch off to the right and left, along which, on both sides, are a number of rooms about the size of ordinary living rooms of today, though some are 30 by 40 feet square. These are entered by oval shaped doors and are ventilated by round air spaces through the walls into the passages. The walls are about three feet six inches in thickness. The passages are chiseled or hewn as straight as could be laid out by an engineer. The ceilings of many of the rooms converge to the center. The side-passages near the entrance run at a sharp angle from the main hall, but toward the rear they gradually reach a right angle in direction.

"Over a hundred feet from the entrance is the cross-hall, several hundred feet long, in which are found the idol, or image, of the people's god, sitting cross-legged, with a lotus flower or lily in each hand. The cast of the face is oriental, and the carving shows a skillful hand, and the attire is remarkably well preserved, as is everything in this cavern. The idol most resembles Buddha, though the scientists are not certain as to what religious worship it represents. Taking into consideration everything found thus far, it is possible that this worship most resembles the ancient people of Tibet. Surrounding this idol are smaller images, some very beautiful in form; others crooked-necked and distorted shapes, symbolical, probably, of good and evil. There are two large cactus with protruding arms, one on each side of the dais on which the god squats. All this is carved out of hard rock resembling marble. In the opposite corner of this cross-hall were found tools of all descriptions, made of copper. These people undoubtedly knew the lost art of hardening this metal, which has been sought by chemists for centuries without result. On a bench running around the workroom was some charcoal and other material probably used in the process. There is also slag and stuff similar to metal, showing that these ancients smelted ores, but so far no trace of where or how this was done has been discovered, nor the origin of the ore.

"Among the other finds are vases or urns and cups of copper and gold, made very artistic in design. The pottery work includes enameled ware and glazed vessels. Another passageway leads to granaries such as are found in the oriental temples. They contain seeds of various kinds. One very large storehouse has not yet been entered, as it is twelve feet high and can be reached only from above. Two copper hooks extend on the edge, which indicates that some sort of ladder was attached. These granaries are rounded, as the materials, of which they are constructed, I think, is very hard cement. A gray metal is also found in this cavern, which puzzles the scientists, however its identity has not been established. It resembles platinum. Strewn promiscuously over the floor everywhere is what people call 'cats eyes,' a yellow stone of no great value. Each one is engraved with the head of the Malay type.

"On all the urns, or walls over doorways, and tablets of stone which were found by the image are the mysterious hieroglyphics, the key to which the Smithsonian Institute hopes yet to discover. The engraving on the tablets probably has something to do with the religion of the people. Similar hieroglyphics have been found in southern Arizona. Among the pictorial writings, only two animals are found. One is of prehistoric type.

"The tomb or crypt in which the mummies were found is one of the largest of the chambers, the walls slanting back at an angle of about 35 degrees. One of these is tiers of mummies, each one occupying a separate hewn shelf. At the head of each is a small bench, on which are found copper cups and pieces of broken swords. Some of the mummies are covered with clay, and all are wrapped in a bark fabric. The urns or cups on the lower tiers are crude, while as the higher shelves are reached the urns are finer in design, showing a later stage of civilization. It is worthy of note that all the mummies examined so far have proved to be male, no children or females being buried here. This leads to the belief that this exterior section was the warriors' barracks.

"Among the discoveries no bones of animals have been found, no skins, no clothing or bedding. Many of the rooms are bare but for water vessels. One room, about 40 by 700 feet, was probably the main dining hall, for cooking utensils are found here. What these people lived on is a problem, though it is presumed that they came south in the winter and farmed in the valleys, going back north in the summer. Upwards of 50,000 people could have lived in the caverns comfortably. One theory is that the present Indian tribes found in Arizona are descendants of the serfs or slaves of the people that inhabited the cave. Undoubtedly a good many thousands of years before the Christian era a people lived here which reached a high stage of civilization. The chronology of human history is full of gaps. Professor Jordan is much enthused over the discoveries and believes that the find will prove of incalculable value in archaeological work

"One thing I have not spoken of, may be of interest. There is one chamber the passageway to which is not ventilated, and when we approached it a deadly, snaky smell struck us. Our lights would not penetrate the gloom, and until stronger ones are available we will not know what the chamber contains. Some say snakes, but others boohoo this idea and think it may contain a deadly gas or chemicals used by the ancients. No sounds are heard, but it smells snaky just the same. The whole underground installation gives one of shaky nerves the creeps. The gloom is like a weight on one's shoulders, and our flashlights and candles only make the darkness blacker. Imagination can revel in conjectures and ungodly daydreams back through the ages that have elapsed till the mind reels dizzily in space.

"In connection with this story, it is notable that among the Hopi Indians the tradition is told that their ancestors once lived in an underworld in the Grand Canyon till dissension arose between the good and the bad, the people of one heart and the people of two hearts. Machetto, who was their chief, counseled them to leave the underworld, but there was no way out. The chief then caused a tree to grow up and pierce the roof of the underworld, and then the people of one heart climbed out. They tarried by Paisisvai (Red River), which is the Colorado, and grew grain and corn. They sent out a message to the Temple of the Sun, asking the blessing of peace, good will and rain hr the people of one heart. That messenger never returned, but today at the Hopi villages at sundown can be seen the old men of the tribe out on the housetops gazing toward the sun, looking hr the messenger. When he returns, their lands and ancient dwelling place will be restored to them. That is the tradition. Among the engravings of animals in the cave is seen the image of a heart over the spot where it is located. The legend was learned by W.E. Rollins, the artist, during a year spent with the Hopi Indians. There are two theories of the origin of the Egyptians. One is that they came from Asia; another that the racial cradle was in the upper Nile region. Heeren, an Egyptologist, believed in the Indian origin of the Egyptians. The discoveries in the Grand Canyon may throw further light on human evolution and prehistoric ages."

The explorer, G.E. Kinkaid, discovered the vaults about 2,000 feet above the present level of the river, where steps led some 30 yards to the former level of the river. That means that the Colorado River, by Kinkaid's testimony, has cut some 1,910 feet in the canyon since the time of the construction of the vaults. Normal geological time would place human construction on the canyon walls at this level at easily tens of thousands if not millions of years ago. Kinkaid's testimony actually is evidence that much of the Grand Canyon was cut in a very short time during some cataclysmic earth change, rather than the slow, steady millions of years claimed by Uniformitarian geologists. It is possible that a huge lake was drained down the Grand Canyon, thus causing the fast erosion.

In investigating this incredible story, any information on the two leading figures in the discovery, G.E. Kinkaid and Professor S.A. Jordan would be invaluable. Did these two men exist? I would appreciate any information on these two men, or their alleged discoveries that any UNICUS readers may have.

While it cannot be discounted that the entire story is an elaborate newspaper hoax, the fact that it is on the front page, names the prestigious Smithsonian Institution, and gives a highly detailed story that goes on for several pages, lends a great deal to its credibility. What appears to be going on in this case is that the Smithsonian Institution is covering up what is an archaeological discovery of great importance, and radically changes the current views that there was no transoceanic contact in Pre-Colombian times, and that all American Indians, on both continents, are descended from ice age explorers who came across the Bering Straits.

Is the idea that ancient Egyptians came to the Arizona area in the ancient past so objectionable and preposterous that is must be covered up? Perhaps the Smithsonian Institution is more interested in maintaining the status quo then rocking the boat with astonishing new discoveries that totally overturn the previously accepted academic teachings.

Though the idea of the Smithsonian's covering up a valuable archaeological find is difficult to accept for some, there is, sadly, a great deal of evidence to suggest that the Smithsonian Institution has knowingly covered up and "lost" important archaeological relics. The Stonewatch Newsletter of the Gungywamp Society in Connecticut, which researches megalithic sites in New England, had a curious story in their Winter, 1992 issue (Vol.10, No.3) about some stone coffins discovered in 1892 in Alabama which were sent to the Smithsonian Institution and then "lost."

In an effort to find out where this vault with mummies and artifacts might be located, I went down to my mom's bookstore and got a hiker's map of the Grand Canyon. Pouring over the map, I was suddenly shocked to see that much of the area on the north side of the canyon had Egyptian names. The area around Ninety-four Mile Creek and Trinity Creek had areas (rock formations, apparently) with names like Tower of Set, Tower of Ra, Horus Temple, Osiris Temple, and Isis Temple. In the Haunted Canyon area were such names as the Cheops Pyramid, the Buddha Cloister, Buddha Temple, Manu Temple and Shiva Temple. Was there any relationship between these places and the alleged Egyptian discoveries in the Grand Canyon?

I called a State archaeologist at the Grand Canyon, and was told by the female voice on the phone that the early explorers had just liked Egyptian and Hindu names, but that it was true that this area was off limits to hikers or visitors, "because of dangerous caves."

Indeed, this entire area with the Egyptian and Hindu place names in the Grand Canyon is forbidden zone, no one is allowed into this large area. Despite the many thousands of tourists to the Grand Canyon each year, the lofty walls and spectacular buttes of this natural wonder still hold many secrets, which have not yet been revealed, to the public at large.

Sacred Geometry

From the Egyptians to the Greeks, from the Kabbalistic Jews to the Christians, sacred geometry has been taught throughout time to initiates as a closely guarded secret.
According to Dr. Robert Gilbert, a former U.S. Marine Corps intructor in nuclear-biological-chemical warfare survival who holds a doctorate in international studies, the world is being shaped - sometimes for the worse - by a modern science that manipulates life’s natural patterns, while lacking the contextual understanding to do so responsibly.
Gilbert delivered a two-day seminar, “Sacred Geometry: The Invisible Blueprint of Life,” Friday and Saturday at Sancta Sophia Seminary on Sparrowhawk Mountain.
Gilbert offered attendees insight into once-secret initiation teachings about the hidden relationships between the physical and spiritual worlds. Sacred geometry is the basis for the sacred science of Egypt, and the Pythagorean science of vibrational energies. According to Gilbert, it’s the master key to expanding spiritual awareness, as well as healing the physical body and correcting energetic problems.
Sacred geometry can be related to the “Platonic solids,” or the five shapes that can divide a circle or sphere perfectly. The five forms are the tetrahedron, the octahedron, the hexahedron (cube), the icosahedron and the dodecahedron.
Plato wrote about them in the dialogue “Timaeus,” and he associated each with of the four classical elements. Earth was associated with the cube; air with the octahedron; water with the icosahedron; and fire with the tetrahedron. There was intuitive justification for these associations: The heat of fire feels sharp and stabbing (like little tetrahedra). Air is made of the octahedron; its minuscule components are so smooth that one can barely feel it. Water, the icosahedron, flows out of one’s hand when picked up, as if it is made of tiny little balls. But a highly un-spherical solid, the hexahedron (cube) represents earth. These clumsy little solids cause dirt to crumble and breaks when picked up, in stark contrast to the smooth flow of water.
Plato obscurely says the fifth Platonic solid, the dodecahedron, “...the god used for arranging the constellations on the whole heaven.” Aristotle added a fifth element, “ether,” and postulated that the heavens were made of this element, but he had no interest in matching it with Plato's fifth solid.
It was this fifth solid Gilbert expounded upon.
“The dodecahedron was not widely taught,” said Gilbert. “It is the pure, spiritual lifeforce, and people were told to keep it hidden, as if it were misused, it could create terrible destruction.”
Gilbert indicated many scientists – including those with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – now believe the earth is shaped like a dodecahedron,
Given this information, one of the nodes on the dodecahedron falls in the same area as the famous “Bermuda Triangle.”
“Using a dodecahedron on a world grid analysis, you’ll see the nodal points, pressure points in space and time,” said Gilbert. “Other nodal points on the earth have been known as ‘devil’s graveyards’ because space and time don’t work right.”
Modern scholars disregarded the idea of the Platonic solids until the 1980s, when Professor Emeritus Robert Moon at the University of Chicago demonstrated the entire periodic table of elements - everything known in the physical world - is based on these five forms.
“Moon worked on the Manhatten Project,” said Gilbert. “He discovered that the form for uranium is a double-dodecahedron. The periodic table is a revelation of the spirit - thoughts from the mind of God.”
Gilbert showed a slide of the first nuclear weapon: Its shape was a dodecahedron.
“The element palladium, No. 46 on the periodic table, is part of the platinum family and is connected to alchemy,” said Gilbert. “When palladium is used in combination with other metals and electronic stimulation, it creates what some refer to as cold fusion. However, the problem with cold fusion is that it is not constant. Energetic conditions shift from time to time and place to place, and can even be affected by the person conducting the experiment, much to scientists’ dismay.”
People might find it surprising that Gilbert never really cared for math.
“I never liked math,” said Gilbert. “But geometry is different. As children, we play with shapes and natural forms, but prematurely we force children to look at them in a mathematical process. Math is useful for analysis, but it doesn’t free the soul.”
Gilbert’s reason for providing this information is three-fold.
“In understanding the patterns behind everything in the manifest world, we can start to change things in our personal lives,” he said. “In teaching sacred geometry, people begin to understand the unity between science and spirit. It confirms we can be understood without religious dogma, as it’s a type of spirituality that unites people. Finally, it provides a unity between traditions based on what we all encounter; geometry is universal in nature, no matter what the religion.
Since leaving the service in 1985, Gilbert has conducted independent research into the geometric basis of modern science and new technologies. He is also a Rosicrucian with more than 20 years’ experience in sacred geometry and its hidden uses by the world’s spiritual traditions.
In 1997, he began for the first time to teach publicly the results of his two decades of intensive research, and continues teaching both publicly and privately in Asheville, N.C.
While at Sparrowhawk Village, Gilbert and his wife, Elizabeth, stayed with Dr. Robert Willson, former dean of Sancta Sophia Seminary and inventor of the technology for the plasma-screen television.
Willson was highly interested in Gilbert’s work.
“I resisted [the theory of sacred geometry] for a long time, because I couldn’t break free from my own scientific background,” said Willson. “After reading several wonderful books on the subject, I just surrendered, and now I get it!”

Jesus Spotted In France

Devout Christians are flocking to a church on the French riviera where both Jesus and the Virgin Mary are said to have appeared to worshippers.
The holy 'visions' are being taken so seriously they are being investigated by a French Bishop and the Pope has been informed.

But the signs that a divine presence is in the room are not the traditional dazzling lights or gentle breeze. Instead, the chosen ones are suffering vomiting and convulsions more akin to scenes from The Exorcist.

The so-called apparitions are taking place during meetings of the Cap-Verdi prayer group at St Paul's Catholic Church in the glitzy Cote d'Azur resort of Cannes. Believers say that Christ and the Virgin Mary have been appearing to them on a regular basis over the past six months.

Church-goer Rita Gomez, who helps run the prayer group, said: "The visions usually begin with the whole building trembling in the middle of a prayer meeting.

"Then various worshippers will fall off their seats shaking violently or being sick. When they come round a few minutes later, they say Christ or the Holy Virgin has appeared and spoken to them."

One 14-year-old girl had fits and began smashing windows, then began bleeding 'pinkish-yellow' blood, Miss Gomez said.

She added: "This might sound like the work of the devil rather than God, but everyone who experiences a vision says it was Jesus and Mary that appeared to them."

Worshipper Emmanuel Duchamp, 38, said he saw Christ 'standing before him' in the church.

He added: "I wasn't ill, but I was overcome with a very warm feeling. Then Jesus started talking and I began writing down everything he told me. It was about cleaning my house and cleaning the homes of others to prepare for the coming of the Lord."

Father Paul Fazzi, the parish priest of St Paul's, insisted there was nothing extreme or 'cultish' about the Cap Verdi prayer group.

He said: "They are just a group of devout young people who come here each week to pray. There has never been any strange business going on that has ever given us cause for concern.

"We are keeping an open mind until we find out more, but all those who have had experiences are very shaken by them and insist they are real."

Since news of the visions had spread over the past months, his Sunday congregations had doubled and scores of new religious devotees had been visiting the church each week in the hope of having an apparition of their own, Father Fazzi said.

Bishop of Nice Monseigneur Louis Sankale sent his deputy, Father Stephane Drillon, to investigate the phenomena at St Paul's.

A spokesman for the Bishop said a letter had also been sent to the Vatican informing church leaders of the events in Cannes, adding: "We are taking no official view at present on the veracity of what is going on at St Paul's, but it has roused enough interest for us to send someone to find out more.

The bishop's envoy Father Drillon said: "We are taking detailed statements from everyone who claims to have experienced anything. On the surface there appears to be something exceptional going on at St Paul's Church, but we need to dig deeper to investigate the authenticity of this.

"The church never dismisses these kinds of claims out of hand, but it is our policy to remain prudent."

The last apparition of the Virgin Mary officially acknowledged by the Vatican is also said to have taken place in France.

The mother of Jesus is said to have appeared to 14-year-old farmer's daughter Bernadette Soubirous in February 1858 in a mountain grotto in the Pyrenees mountain town of Lourdes. The shrine, whose waters are said to have miraculous healing powers, now attracts five milion visitors a year.

(NewsTarget) A study by researchers at Tufts University in Boston has added to growing evidence that suggests increased levels of the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenioc acid (DHA) in the blood can significantly lower the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
"Subjects with baseline plasma PC DHA levels in the upper quartile experienced a significant 47 percent lower risk of dementia compared with participants with levels in the lower three quartiles," wrote lead author Ernst Schaefer.

The study, published in the Archives of Neurology, comes only a month after scientists from Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge in Sweden reported -- in the same medical journal -- that omega-3 acids might slow the mental decline of people with mild Alzheimer's, although no effect was observed in people with advanced cases.

The Tufts study analyzed the blood of 899 men and women with an average age of 76 -- all participating in the population-based Framingham Heart Study -- and looked at the association between dementia and DHA levels. All participants were free of dementia at the beginning of the study, and underwent neuropsychological testing after giving their initial blood sample. A subgroup of 488 participants also filled out a semi-quantitative 126-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that assessed their diet, especially their level of fish consumption.

Roughly nine years of follow up studies later -- and after taking other risk factors such as age and homycysteine levels -- the participants were split into quartiles based on their levels of DHA in the blood. The quartile with the highest DHA levels had a 47 percent lower risk of developing dementia and 39 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than the remaining three quartiles.

The participants in the top quartile reported on their FFQ that they ate an average of 0.18 grams of DHA daily, and an average of 2.9 servings of fish a week. The other three quartiles reported substancially less fish in their diets, eating between 1.3 and 2.3 servings a week.

"In our study, the correlation between (blood) DHA content and fish intake was significant, indicating that fish intake is an important source of dietary DHA," wrote the authors.

While the Tufts study did not use mechanistic processes to elucidate the benefits of DHA, previous studies have shown that DHA is involved in the membrane of ion channels in the brain, which allows them to change shape easier and transmit electrical signals. Other limitations of the study include only taking DHA measurements once and only having dietary data on a subset of the participants.

"In the future, it will also be important to determine whether combined dietary supplementation with DHA can decrease further mental deterioration in patients with established dementia," concluded the researchers.

Rush University Medical Center, Chicago's Martha Clare Morris noted in an accompanying editorial that, while fish consumption was linked with DHA levels, there was no significant correlation between fish consumption and Alzheimer's risk, possibly because the study was not capable of observing such an effect if it existed.

Morris also noted that oily fish often contains high levels of pollutants such as methyl mercury, dioxins, and polychlorinated biphenols, which have caused some experts to recommend a reduced intake of fish, especially for pregnant women.

"The only way to resolve the risk-benefit question is to examine, directly in humans, mercury intake from fish and its effect on various health outcomes relative to the beneficial effects of the omega-3 fatty acids consumed," said Morris.

"Omega-3 fatty acids are emerging as nothing short of miraculous in terms of their protective health effects," said Mike Adams, a holistic nutritionist and author of "The Seven Laws of Nutrition." "They prevent heart attacks, depression, diabetes and obesity, as well as supporting the nervous system, cognitive function and longevity factors. We should all strive to increase our consumption of omega-3s."

While a proponent of consuming oily fish for its omega-3 content, Adams added that consumers should look to chia seeds as a rich source of DHA without the fishy taste or the risk of heavy metals. Those who prefer fish can follow their meal with chelating formulas such as Baseline Nutritionals Metal Magic, he said.

The Rosslyn Cypher

It is frequently claimed that there is a great and profound secret hidden in Rosslyn Chapel, a secret that has so far remained tantalisingly elusive. But if there is a secret, what kind of secret is it? Is it the contents of the Templar preceptories, hastily removed from France immediately prior to the order’s arrest and imprisonment in October 1309?

Or is it the lost gospels of Christ appropriated from beneath Solomon’s Temple by the Knights Templar during their lengthy sojourn in the Holy Lands? Another school of thought argues that the Holy Grail itself lies hidden beneath the floor of this mediæval / Renaissance chapel.

Yet others are sure that Rosslyn’s secret treasure is the Ark of the Covenant, and there are even those who hold that the mummified head of Christ (or alternatively John the Baptist) is hidden there.

So, is this supposed secret of a worldly or spiritual nature? The fact is that no one knows what, if any, treasure lies secreted far beneath this building, whose vaults are reputedly as deep as the chapel is tall. The best bet, however, is that rather than a physical treasure there is some kind of spiritual gnosis – a mystical truth or revelation – lying hidden in Rosslyn Chapel; but what it is, and whether it has any relevance in the 21st century, is the vexed question lying at the puzzle’s very core.

In this short article I shall speculate that the secret is indeed spiritual in nature, and that although its meaning, significance and focus might have altered over the intervening centuries, it may still prove possible to uncover.

Rosslyn Chapel is a small, sanctuary lying approximately five miles (8km) south of Edinburgh. The reasons for its construction are themselves still unclear, although there are plenty of theories (see FT167:50, 193:37, 200:41). What is certain is that it was built at the instigation of Sir William St Clair, the third and last Prince of Orkney, between 1440 and 1490. During its construction, St Clair employed the services of skilled masons from all over Europe, and although convention says that the building was only intended as a place for private family worship, even a cursory examination will change your mind.

While the symbolism inherent in the chapel’s sumptuous carvings and geometry may have been solely for the personal edification of St Clair and his family, this seems unlikely. Rather, the building was designed and left for posterity as a learning tool, a coded book constructed in the most durable medium available – stone. The connections between Rosslyn and the Knights Templar are inescapable; William St Clair is said to have been a Templar (long after the order’s official destruction), and approved every last detail of the building – nothing, we must conclude, is there by accident.

If Rosslyn’s supposed secret lies in arcane references to sacred geometry or the esoteric workings of certain secret societies, then it is difficult to see why this has any relevance now. On the other hand, if the carvings contain deliberately suppressed information that could prove disastrous to today’s established Churches, then the secret of Rosslyn may be more accessible and wonderful than one might imagine.

The building itself is redolent with history; even the name Rosslyn is perhaps significant. According to research conducted by Robert Lomas and Christopher Knight for The Hiram Key (1997), the word can be broken into its two syllables, 'Ros' and 'Lyn' which have their roots in the Gaelic:'Ros', meaning ancient knowledge and 'Lyn', meaning down the ages. It can therefore be argued that even the name of the place is telling us what it is: a library carved in stone ciphers; an attempt to impart arcane knowledge in something more durable than paper – knowledge available only to those with the intellect to decode it.

Arguably, the most mysterious aspect of the entire building is the group of enigmatic 'cubes' located in the ceiling of the Lady Chapel, or retro-choir, located at the east end of the chapel. These cubes, which number in the hundreds, are seen emerging from musical instruments played by angels situated at the top of pillars running along the length of the small retro-choir. The cubes rise in silent tribute to the heavens and each cube carries its own set of delicate carvings on all of the exposed faces. But what could these carvings mean?

It has been suggested (initially in research conducted by the late MI6 agent and hotelier Stephen Prior and more recently by composer Stuart Mitchell – see Frozen Music) that since they emerge from musical instruments, logically, they must represent musical notes – but how can these odd shapes and patterns have any relationship to modern musical notation (which was still evolving in the 15th century)? And why might St Clair have chosen to hide important information in the form of obscure, apparently abstract, lines on small sandstone cubes?

Could it have been that he wished to express his disapproval and contempt for the summary and draconian treatment visited upon the Knights Templar in 1309 by the Vatican at the behest of King Philip the Fair of France? It is almost certain that St Clair was sympathetic to the Templar cause and had strong views on their murderous suppression. Likewise, he was also probably aware of a curious and proscribed series of musical notes called 'The Devil's Chord' and its eerie effects (see The Devil's Tunes). If he intended to use this knowledge to express his dissatisfaction at the treatment of the Templars, how could he conceal it without attracting unwelcome attention?

The answer seems to have been in a form of a code consisting of stress patterns created using fine sand sprinkled on thin metal plates and 'played' by some type of bow. This is identical to the method employed by the German physicist Ernst Chladni, sometimes called the father of modern acoustics, when he originally produced his famous 'Chladni Patterns'. These patterns are now commonplace in physics labs, used to demonstrate the hidden properties of sound, only they are now generated by using rapidly oscillating modules. Did Sir William painstakingly create the patterns using the bow-and-sand method, transcribing each note revealed onto the stone cubes?

Could the answer to Rosslyn's enigmatic puzzle, the key to what might be hidden there, be music – in other words, sound and, therefore, frequency? And if it is, does it make reference to the infamous 'Devil's Chord'?

In the 12th century, the Catholic Church gave the musical interval of the augmented fourth – spanning three whole tones, for instance from C to F# – the rather sinister title of diabolus in musica – 'The Devil in Music', also known as 'The Devil's Interval’ or, as mentioned, 'The Devil's Chord'. It was banned throughout Christendom and this ban, by extension, covered all contemporary European music, both sacred and secular. One must ask why the Church imposed this measure; what possible justification might there have been for this extreme sanction?

While it may be that the interval was seen as musically ‘wrong’, producing what was felt as a dissonance, it has also been argued that the tritone, due to its frequency and harmonics, and if produced in the correct setting, could induce visions and altered states of consciousness in those present.

Was the Church, aware of this, clamping down on what may have been seen as an unsanctioned form of access to the ‘divine’? Such an effect would, after all, have been anathema to the Catholic Church, reducing its absolute control over every aspect of the lives of the population.

But if, in fact, this is the secret of the cubes, can these notes still be reproduced? The answer is almost certainly yes, but to do so we would have to examine how instruments were tuned in the late mediæval period; perhaps, more specifically, we would need to learn how middle-eastern musical instruments were tuned and reproduce this tuning. The Templars had formed a relationship with their Muslim foes based on mutual respect forged in battle. This being the case, it is likely, given the spiritual core of Templar philosophy, that they became privy to certain esoteric practices and customs of Islamic mystical groups and this would almost certainly include music.

Modern musical tunings are based on an 'equal temperament' system, which was not prevalent in mediæval times, and therefore any attempt at reproducing the musical notes carved in the stone patterns would have to take this into account.

The following fascinating piece of information comes from a fellow researcher, Bill Downie, who is, amongst other things, a musician. Bill applied the ancient, esoteric art of Gematria to a group of notes comprising one version of the Devil’s Chord and discovered the following. From the information available, Downie, who defines the Devil's Chord as the notes F#, C and A, examined the associated frequencies, (370, 523, and 880) and noticed that they are very close to the following numbers: 373, 515 & 888.

In gematria – the ancient Greek (and later Hebrew) practice of numerology – we find that 373 literally means 'word' in Greek, 515 means 'Jesus' and 888 means ‘Iesous’, which translates as Jesus in Greek. The slight variation in frequency would make little or no difference to how it was perceived by the human ear. However, it would be interesting to see the effects on an audience if each frequency were produced using electronic equipment to recreate the frequency of the individual notes comprising the Devil’s Chord and also substituting the numerical values of the words for a frequency. It is also likely that the effect, if any, would not be confined to Rosslyn Chapel but to any given contemporary church or cathedral. They were all very similar in design, the major difference being in size, and it is likely that the greater the internal volume, the greater the likelihood of producing a wide range of sympathetic resonant frequencies, therefore enhancing the effect.

There is one final detail to add to the puzzle: one of the cubes is missing and, according to the chapel management, its whereabouts are currently unknown.

Does this mean that, even if the carvings on the hundreds of other cubes were decoded and transcribed as music, with all the appropriate tunings, that the missing cube would prevent the completed work from being performed? If this is the case, then perhaps the final fragment of the answer is concealed in a small, engraved cube of stone, which in turn is the last key to a greater understanding.

It could be said that we are all creatures of frequency one way or another, and there is every likelihood that specific frequencies can and do interact with human consciousness at some level. Should this information be encoded in the Rosslyn 'cubes', then their secret had huge implications for the mediæval Catholic Church – implications that are still valid today.

It would be fascinating to decode the patterns and finally hear the music put there by the builders of Rosslyn, frozen in stone for centuries awaiting someone who could unlock it.

The Seven Powers

The Seven Inexorable Powers

Neter



Ba and Ankh
The Wisdom of akh...ba...&...ka

At age twelve , the young initiate earned a place among his peers as a graduate of The Right Eye of Horus. His education presented The Language of Vibration which understands and communicates in left brain... logical memory and is taught in such a way as to lend Right brain (aesthetic) attention to detail . In Geometry for instance, the initiate learned there were two genders of lines: the curved feminine ... and the straight masculine. Geometry, Astronomy, Astrology, and Symbolism were taught through ideas of duality or the Dwat with two specific vantage points at every detail...male and female. Seeing inside was just as important as seeing outside. Thinkers expressed ideas of spirit cause or ‘fiat lux’(first light)...and spoke of Primordial Light energies which presented the instructions for this wave form universe.



akh...ba...ka

These three spiritual light principles make man. Just as three sides of a tri-angle are distinctly separable but definable as one.

akh is at the outset of all becoming. It is the light proceeding from the darkness presupposing darkness containing the light and the cause that held both in potential. akh is the spiritual birth of light in matter revealing itself and demonstrating three aspects.

Ø Metaphysically Being the Light contained in the darkness and receiving Wisdom and reciprocating with reflection.

Ø Naturally Being Light incorporate, regenerating from decomposing elements of seed in germination, and reawakening the fire in clay that makes what was sterile thrive.

Ø Humanly Being Spiritual Light triumphant over the human factors and integrating into Unity. The third component in an original Trinity is an abstract relation between two known factors. The phenomena is the third factor of the Trinity become visible and is the Superluminal, the first factor of a new Trinity....thus Trinities give rise to one another. The key to answering Light is reflection... it’s in the seed... and causes the Trinity.

ba



Ba is the “soul”....the soul which is birthed with the individual. It is the “astral body”, which is the animating breath of all that lives, constituting the world and its final perfection. ba is the natural soul in bodily form, subject to cyclic rebirth.

ka

represents the higher self and is one of the five subtle bodies. ka is the connection to the higher subtle bodies and with it's reflective essence in the khaibit causes initial connectivity to all the subtle bodies. The ka is the assemblage point in the physical body and mind. ka is the modem to access the intire universal memory and all of the principles or Neters.

The Seven Inexorable Powers

An entity...self contained chronicle for quickening.

The animation of life.



ik ki and mer

Within the milieu there is a balance which floats between polarities and is ever changing. Picture in your minds eye,...a total void containing no thing. You are timelessly there as light, shinning away. If you consider movement, another object is necessary for inertia, and there is no other object. How then, could there become movement? ....Reflection ...!

Consider an image of self, having the same Nature, but being a mirror image (reverse). The Ancient Egyptians called this reflection IK and KI. God ...and God's Reflection of Himself. Ik is the impulse that precipitates being into becoming through arousing in the "one" a wish to see himself in an "other" of which the principle is expressed by KI. This ever present polarity of the Universe presents as the duality or the Dwat.

All is contained and influenced by this balance of esoteric substance, which is in flux. Stabilization of this floating flux is approached by the esoteric understanding of Mer. Mer is The Light or vibration that is created by IK and KI, that occurs on all levels of physical and mental consciousness and suggests further examination of choices : One can compare IK and KI by viewing the differences between them...(subtract)......or combine them (unite). .The Initiate was skilled to combine IK and KI in order to achieve optimum Balance in Mer. It requires love and faith in one's self not to compare, but to combine.

The understanding of IK and KI is associated with Original Spirit, the unnamable, unknowable God Divine , fiat lux, and first chakra energy (or 8th chakra which is Genisis entry into the next dimension). Mer is associated with second chakra energy and indicates sexual balance . Mer is the essence of the regeneration of our Universe indicating, combining the Natural balancing powers within and without.. Mer also describes "going into" and is associated with "a counter rotating field of light"



Mer and The Eyes of Horus

Horus was the son of Isis and Osiris, and together were they the original Trinity in Ancient Egyptian Mythology. The Ancients established the Schools of the Right and Left Eyes of Horus where , Initiates learned that the right eye was controlled by the left , male oriented side of the brain which represents numbers, letters, reasoning, the creation of sentences and thoughts relative to concrete facts and processing language.

The left eye was controlled by the right, female oriented side of the brain and represented the subtle influences of intuition, aesthetic reasoning, art, nuance, metaphor, color , music appreciation and the instinct of the female. Horus was considered to be the supernatural element of the Trinity...the animator of prenatural Adamic man before his fall into dualization.

Mer is given as instruction to actualize the Ascension process, unveiling the path out of the duality. The idea is that by combining these polarities (plus a few more steps) one achieves a very special oneness, which is called the Center Eye of Horus, or The Child's Eye of Horus. Mer enjoins, and becomes in the mind's eye, which is 6th power.. The first step is the Wisdom of the 2ed power which is altering the consciousness of comparing and subtracting and learning how to combine the positive and negative into Oneness...... expressing Innocence...and, unleashing the Light which rises and begins the healing of the rest of the body, be it Person, Earth, or Universe. Mer [the second power] is the very first step in Becoming Self Aware.



Mer and Sexual Tantra

Regenerative Tantra describes an attitude with which the approach to Sexual Tantra must needs begin. . What if , like the Ancients, we learned to use sexual energy in a healthy spiritual way at a young age so that, when puberty was upon us, our sexual discipline was integrated and blossoming. Sexual Tantra is about being integrated and blossoming within a physically Spiritual Threshold.

Combining Sexual and Spiritual bio-feedback with a reciprocating partner animates Kundalini. It is the attitude of Mer which enables the individual to attain the balanced use of the left and right brain hemispheres at the same Time. It is also the attitude of Mer that enables the Energies of two people, simultaneously, into The Light of the same Portal..



Mer and Merkaba

Mer means:"a going into"...or "a counter rotating field of Light"....or "Light"...Ka... represents the Higher Spiritual Self and it's primary connection to The Archtypical or Neter.......known also as "the Spirit of the cosmos"....... Ba translates as "Soul"....or"astral body"..."Ba exists from beginning to end"

....Merkaba is perceived as going into a balanced male/female field of counter rotating Light which contains the Higher Spiritual Self and it's connection to the Archtypical or Neter, plus the soul or astral body .....and then, combining the energies into a transdimensional vehicle for Ascending the duality (3D).. Mer is the Light that is created in the primal cause and effect, and is used in the Merkaba, creating the Light of Genisis,....the beginning of new consciousness and movement through the Portal.



Merkaba Meditation information is available through...Drunvalo Melchizedek and friends at Flower of Life: http://www.floweroflife.org



Sekhem

"...and there , contained within the darkness is the Light , and the darkness knowith it not"....John 1/6.....John gives us a parable which is the key to understanding the Third Dimension. The second power, Mer has provided the Wisdom to unlock the Light contained within the darkness. The third power involves learning what to do with this Light. Third power energy concerns manipulation and control...

We must become conscious of the control and manipulation before proceeding, and then, registration can occur. We are deeply immersed in this energy, like being in the forests. Keeping Still , in the deep, we see the pinpoint of Light within the darkness, and it is us..... Focusing the Light into our inner self without fear, and listening to the messages which respond allows expansion of our selves and the Light.

It is the nature of this, 3D consciousness to wave 'the wand of control' around like the end of a loose water hose, or point it toward an object of desire to empower the self, defining unconsciousness. The interaction of IK/KI, and Mer flows inevitably and produces the fire Sekhem which destroys the nature of the former and at the same time produces new life. This shows the nature of transition to unconditional love. It is here that we learn that the first three powers are causal drives in becoming and the next four are agents in actualization.



Kepher

Kepher is the principle of becoming in this new life , and of the transformations corresponding to the phases of all Genisis....life in birthing. Kepher opens the world of actualization which begins to manifest the combined action of IK/KI, Mer, and Sekhem, working in harmony with the next four powers .

It is an inner passivity and disinterestedness that enables the flow of energy, and a state of detached discretion (out of your way) that offers an impulse of Wisdom, capturing a ray of light, and recognizing the true law or path. The result will be a "thing", considered either relative reality at a moment of Genisis , or a result produced by a Genisis. This "thing"....khet...is not a "power", but is a product of Kepher which required the fifth and sixth power for it's existence. [5th...AB-IB and 6th...Tekh.] Each power has entity, but functions in consonance and harmony.

Note: The number four is the first result of multiplication. Heart chakra energy has two distinct characteristics, ...that of the heart as we know it (lower heart), and that of the thymus (upper heart), which is the electromagnetic energy surrounding the heart and extending into the fifth power. The two are reciprocating as they function together.

Egyptian teaching is based in the principle that the functions of the powers are not static and separated, but work in harmony with each other and with acquired knowledge . They admired the individual's attainments without judgment, and did not assume discontinuity between various states of organism , from the most material to the most spiritual.



Ab Ib and Tekh

The fifth power is called Ab Ib. It represents the thymus area, or the higher heart. Ab means desire. Ib means thirst. The two together represent a whole thought of thirst/desire relative to the energy of Kepher and of Tekh, Kepher being the fourth and Tekh the sixth.

If we begin to understand that the higher powers work together to form and complement each other, the picture reveals itself here. It is here that the lesson from Mer comes into play. The way in which we combine thirst and desire directly effects the understanding of Tekh, the sixth power, which means absorption even up to the point of saturation.

So we have Ab which is the reverse or reflection of Ba which we know means the soul or astral body, and we have Ib which is the reverse or reflection of Bi’t which is the Honey Bee that sucks honey from the flowers and the whole idea is about the thymus. We are associating 5th Ab Ib (thirst/desire) with 6th Tekh {3rd eye and absorption}, relative to 4th Kepher (solar plexus).

What we do with this information has to do with Actualization and it is the combining of these three powers that cause Manifestation to exist along with the seventh, Seshat, the pineal, or The Intelligence of the Heart. This very strong metaphorical resolve is how the Ancients taught their initiates the Ascension Process. We are describing a process of moving Energy up^ with the idea of using it in our highest potential, intentionally expressing The Kundalini Experience as a way of life.



Seshat

Seshat represents the pineal gland and it’s association with the other powers. The pineal gland holds the Intelligence of the Heart and functions with the Wisdom of Love. Seshat is the female counterpart of Thoth who represents the Keeper of Wisdom and is the Neter of writing and record keeping. Seshat means seven and signature or the signing of the seventh.

This signature gives Actualization to the Potential and is key in Manifesting. At this Signing, the initiate must let it all go the Way of the Universe, resolve into One, and begin a new process. It is for this reason that, as the Ancients rebuilt their temples, Seshat from the older temple became the corner stone of the new temple. We see her older hieroglyph at the very bottom of some of the newer Egyptian temples.



Ankh

Ankh is traditionally known as the giver of life and is associated with the feminine. Similar to the Christian cross, it represents the idea of life and the wholeness that life offers. For the Ancients it represents a pathway to the higher self. In the Egyptian Tantra, The Ankh is the pathway at orgasm to the highest dimensions.

We, as a group of sexual people, seldom use this most powerful resource. Sex is arguably the most profound and powerful resource contained in the human and we use it primarily for joy. Our consciousness as a whole has not reached the point where we can even talk about the power of sex. The Ancients taught us more than we can absorb.

When one has an orgasm there are two pathways that the orgasm can take. One can orgasm up and out the top of the head or down into the Earth. Some of our ancient teachings tell us that we die just a little at every orgasm. The Egyptian Ancients had it figured somewhat differently. At orgasm, instead of orgasming up or down they would focus on bringing the energy to the Kepher or Solar Plexus and sending it out the back in a circular motion to the top of the head, 8th chakra, or higher self, and then back into the front of the Solar Plexus somewhat in the pattern of the Ankh.

This approach requires some reeducation for the westerner that primarily thinks in terms of the joy of sex (which is OK but there is more). And what of two people doing it together, at the same instant. It is very much like lightening and potentiates the Caduceus or Kundalini. The idea is to begin the healing of the DNA structure, which appears as the Caduceus, is Phi recursive, and describes implosion. It is somewhat like hot wiring the upper chakras and allowing their combined energy to function together as a Oneness.

This brings us back to the idea of Mer, or the combining of the male and female principles of the individual in order to unite two individuals into Oneness and approach the Portal. If we are functioning in the old paradigm of comparing and subtracting, we miss this opportunity for Ascension.

Medical Uses Of Marijuana

Marijuana, the Anti-Drug
By FRED GARDNER

The extent to which medical cannabis users discontinue or reduce their use of pharmaceutical and over-the-counter drugs is a recurring theme in a recent survey of pro-cannabis (PC) California doctors. The drug-reduction phenomenon has obvious scientific implications. Medicating with cannabis enables people to lay off stimulants as well as sedatives -suggesting that the herb's active ingredients restore homeostasis to various bodily systems. (Lab studies confirm that cannabinoids normalize the tempo of many other neurotransmission systems.) The political implications are equally obvious. Legalizing herbal cannabis would devastate the pharmaceutical manufacturers and allied corporations in the chemicals, oil, "food," and banking sectors. Put simply, the synthetic drug makers stand to lose half their sales if and when the American people get legal access to cannabis.

In the 10 years since Proposition 215 made it legal for California doctors to approve cannabis use by patients, the PC docs did not adopt a common intake questionnaire, and, with one exception, did not collect systematic data on which pharmaceutical drugs their patients had chosen to stop taking. However, the consistency with which the doctors describe this phenomenon has a force as impressive as any slickly presented "hard" data.

This summer I surveyed 19 PC doctors who, between them, had approved and monitored cannabis use by more than 140,000 patients. Herewith some replies to a question about patients reporting reduced reliance on pharmaceuticals.

Frank Lucido, MD: "Chronic pain patients report reduced use of opioids, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, sleeping pills. Psychiatric and insomnia patients reduce use of tranquilizers, SSRI antidepressants, and sleeping pills. Neurologic patients reduce use of opioids, muscle relaxants, NSAIDS, triptans and other migraine headache remedies." Marian Fry, MD: "Medications discontinued or reduced include Oxycontin, Norco, Percoset, Vicodin, Flexerol, Soma, Valium, SSRI antidepressants, and blood-pressure medications Norvasic and Hydrochlorothiazide. Approximately 1% of my patients report reduced reliance or discontinuation of seizure medication by substituting Cannabis for Dilantin and remaining seizure free. Many of my Glaucoma patients no longer require their Timoptic drops and are able to maintain normal pressures with the use of Cannabis. Many of my patients who have lost hope in conventional pharmaceutical treatments report enhanced health, decreased pain, decrease depression and an overall sense of well being despite chronic illness."

Helen Nunberg, MD is medical director of MediCann, a statewide chain of clinics through which 53,000 patients have received approvals. Nunberg reviewed records of 1,800 patients seen at nine clinics. "Prescription drug substitution is very significant," she writes. "51% of the 1,800 patients report using cannabis as a substitute for prescription medications; 48% report using cannabis to prevent prescription medication side effects; 67% report using cannabis to reduce dosage of prescription medication; 49% of patients using cannabis for chronic pain were previously prescribed an opioid (such as hydrocodone) by their personal physician."

Philip Denney, MD: "Cannabis allows significant decreased use or elimination of many prescription medications, particularly narcotics. Patients usually report decreases of 50% or better."

Tom O'Connell, MD: "Vicodin and other opioids; lithium; Klonopin; various sleep aids; and the whole gamut of psychotropic medications from Prozac to Xanax. I don't tell patients to stop taking anything, but I will suggest they discuss it with the prescribing doctor. I have the feeling that most don't."

Robert Sullivan, MD: "Opiates, muscle relaxants, antidepressants, hypnotics (for sleep), anxiolytics, neurontin, anti-inflammatories, anti-migraine drugs, GI meds, prednisone (for asthma, arthritis)."

William Eidelman, MD: "Opioids, sleeping pills, anxiolytics, SSRI anti-depressants."

Hanya Barth, MD: "Approximately 90% of my patients have at one time or another tried traditional medications for their symptoms and found that they produced significant side effects. With cannabis most patients report either being able to manage their symptoms without any other medications, or using less than they would ordinarily have to. It is not unusual to have patients come for a recommendation, bringing a whole bag of medications that they are taking. They might then return the following year saying that they no longer needed many of them and had cut back on many others.

"It is also true that most patients who were using alcohol to manage their symptoms or who were abusing alcohol or speed or opiates, etc. find that they can stop these drugs when they have marijuana. Many also report that they were using those drugs to manage certain symptoms such as pain or anxiety and then became addicted. This is especially true of certain populations, mainly the homeless and the mentally ill. Even cigarette smokers often state that they can substitute cannabis for nicotine.

"What amazes me overall is the efficacy and lack of side effects. It is not that the pain stops but that the mind doesn't fixate on the pain in the same way. In addition, the muscles that become tense around an area of pain can cause secondary symptoms, which then are relieved with cannabis. If someone is in pain and/or anxious, he or she often has a hard time sleeping. With cannabis, patients report that they are able to sleep better, wake up more refreshed, have less secondary depression and are able to function more efficiently the following day. Many hypnotics can only be taken at a certain time (not at 4 a.m., for example). However, having a puff of cannabis at that time will help them fall back asleep without a morning hangover."

Dr. A: "Narcotics, including heavy narcotics such as Fentanyl."

William Courtney, MD: "While the percentage of patients in my practice using cannabis for management of ADHD is small, those who have discovered its benefits are pleased that they can achieve control without having to continue to use Ritalin, etc."

Tod Mikuriya, MD: "Opioids, sedatives, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, and SSRI anti-depressants are commonly used in smaller amounts or discontinued. These are all drugs with serious adverse effects."

Jeffrey Hergenrather, MD: "A cannabis specialist soon becomes aware of two remarkable facts. The range of conditions that patients are treating successfully with cannabis is extremely wide; and patients get relief with the use of cannabis that they cannot achieve with any other pharmaceuticals.

"The testimonies that I hear on a daily basis from people with serious medical conditions are moving and illuminating. From many people with cancer and AIDS come reports that cannabis has saved their lives by giving them an appetite, the ability to keep down their medications, and mental ease. "No other drug works like cannabis to reduce or eliminate pain without significant adverse effects. It evidently works on parts of the brain involving short-term memory and pain centers, enabling the patient to stop dwelling on pain. Cannabis helps with muscle relaxation, and it has an anti-inflammatory action. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis stabilize with fewer and less destructive flare-ups with the regular use of cannabis.

"Other rheumatic diseases similarly show remissions. Spasticity cannot be treated any more quickly or efficiently than with cannabis, and, again, without significant adverse effects.

"Patients who suffer from migraines can reduce or omit conventional medications as their headaches become less frequent and less severe.

"About half of the patients with mood disorders find that they are adequately treated with cannabis alone while others reduce their need for other pharmaceuticals. In my opinion, there is no better drug for the treatment of anxiety disorders, brain trauma and post-concussion syndrome, ADD and ADHD, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

"Patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are stabilized, usually with comfort and weight gain, while most are able to avoid use of steroids and other potent immunomodulator drugs.

"People who were formerly dependent on alcohol, opiates, amphetamines and other addictive drugs have had their lives changed when substituting with cannabis.

"Patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis and those with transplanted kidneys show mental ease, comfort, and lack of significant graft-versus-host incompatibility reactions in my small series. "Diabetics report slightly lower and easier-to-control blood sugar levels, yet to be studied and explained.

"Sleep patterns are typically improved, with longer and deeper sleep without any hangover or significant adverse effects.

"Many patients with multiple sclerosis report that their condition has not worsened for many years while they have been using cannabis regularly. MS and other neurodegenerative diseases share the common benefits of reduced pain and muscle spasms, improved appetite, improved mood and fewer incontinence problems. Many patients with epilepsy are adequately treated with or without the use of other anticonvulsants.

"Patients with skin conditions associated with systemic disease such as psoriasis, lupus, dermatitis herpetiformis, and eczema all report easement and less itching when using cannabis regularly.

"Airway diseases such as asthma, sleep apnea, COPD, and chronic sinusitis deserve special mention because I encourage the use of cannabis vapor or ingested forms rather than smoking to reduce airway irritation."

All these clinical reports jibe perfectly with lab studies showing that synthetic THC enables rodents to achieve pain relief with half the amount of opioids. (Under the rules of evidence established by corporate Science, rodents are considered more trustworthy witnesses than we, the people, are.)

Denizens Of The Fourth Dimension

Everything that is here on Earth is in the Astral Plane. There are universities and bars, swimming holes, and super malls. There are many creatures that exist only in the 4th dimension. The closest are the ones we love to talk about in our myths. Dragons, unicorns, elves, fairies, nymphs, and all manner of entities exist just on the other side of the veil. Scoffers trapped in a limited 5 sense 1 body mentality never raise their vibration level higher than hard core 3D. Those that cultivate inner space and a meditative balance can easily raise their energy into the 4th dimension and beyond.

Coexisting with the entities of the 4th dimension you will begin to commune with them on a regular basis. The newly passed are actually very close; just out of sight. With a little practice you will be getting messages from them any time you want to let them in. Soon you will start getting flashes when you are with people. You may see a certain animal in their past lives. Many strongly take after a given animal so much so that when suggested it provokes an, “Aha!” in a room full of friends. You may also see mythological realities within some people in bodies. They will morph into something like a dwarf, a satyr, or a centaur.

There are other beings living in the 4th dimension that will be well aware of your presence in that realm. As you consciously begin to break the hold of demons over your behavior, you are actually doing psychic battle in the lower 4th dimension. Preying upon the fears and pain in people, they are actually prayed for by the people they devour. When someone is depressed or hateful, they send out the intention that draws an equivalent entity to come and exacerbate the feeling. Angels of all the colors of the rainbow plant seeds that encourage the tendency for positive actions.

Sometimes angels even battle demons to spare the weaker human. Just being an angel does not make them invincible. The demons drain them fast as well. Many angels have to learn to balance their Heart with Will so as to not be undermined in their efforts to assist humanity. The Soul of Gaia herself resonates out from the spirit of the planet to make up the dream-like world of the astral plane. Things can be manifested instantly with merely a thought, and data can be downloaded in your mind much in the way it is on Earth with computer assistance.

To attune oneself with the Sun is to be ready to lift out of the cycles of reincarnation that exist from within the context of the Earthly astral realm. Some have become aware of multiple births but then consider that to be a massive amount of time and information. In actuality the whole series of lifetimes adds experience to the soul which itself relates mainly to this solar system. You can shed even this on your way to Cosmic or Christ Consciousness. When you are aware of yourself in every atom of Existence you will see that context itself is a faulty premise. Even Love cannot contain this vastness.

NDE And 2012

In 1975, Dannion Brinkley was speaking on the telephone during a thunderstorm. A lightning bolt hit the phone line, sending thousands of volts of electricity through his head and body. His heart stopped and at the hospital, he was pronounced dead, and a death certificate was issued. He was then covered with a sheet and wheeled towards the morgue….then he woke up! He had been dead for 28 minutes, and this was the longest clinically documented near-death experience ever recorded at that time. He later told how he had gone down a tunnel into a bright light, went through a life-recall self-judgement process and was shown a series of future world events, up to 2014. Brinkley said that “between 2004 and 2014, more precisely between 2011 and 2012”, there would be “the return of an energy system that existed here a long time ago”, and that it would culminate in an “electromagnetic polar Earth shift” between 2012 and 2014. The whole process would present mankind with a spiritual opportunity to raise their consciousness. What Brinkley didn’t know, was that 2012 is the next “Creation Date” of the ancient Maya civilization.

The Maya

The Olmecs, who are the first civilization known to have inhabited Mesoamerica, are said by archaeologists to have arrived there between 1800 BC and 1500 BC. Several Maya scholars now agree that the calendars used by the Maya were developed by the Olmecs in a town called Izapa, which became populated between 1500 BC and 800 BC, and which the Maya inhabited from about 250 BC. The Tzolkin (literally: “count of days”) calendar was developed by the seventh century BC, according to Mayanist, Munro Edmonson, and consists of 260 days. The calendar was used as an almanac, giving each of the 260 days a unique quality that not only influenced the character of those born on that day, but that would also make it favourable for doing certain tasks and unfavourable for doing others. The descendants of the ancient Maya that live in the highlands of Guatemala, have been using this 260-day calendar in an unbroken sequence, for thousands of years. They explain that the 260-day calendar is based on the period of human gestation.

The Long Count calendar has a direct relationship to the Tzolkin, since it consists of 260 katuns rather than the 260 days of the Tzolkin. The Long Count was fully developed by the mid fourth-century BC, according to Edmonson, although the oldest stela dating a contemporary historical event, shows a Long Count date equivalent to 36 BC. The Long Count consists of a hierarchy of cycles; 20 kin or days made one uinal, or 20-day period; 18 uinals made a tun (360-day year); 20 tuns made a katun, and 20 katuns made a baktun. After 13 baktuns had passed, a Creation Date is reached, which is written: 13.0.0.0.0. The last Creation Date occurred on a Gregorian historical date of 11th August 3114 BC, and this is the “base-date” of the 13-baktun cycle, from which all dates inscribed on stelae were counted. The next time the Long Count date reaches 13.0.0.0.0 will be on 21st December 2012.

Precession

Maya scholar, John Major Jenkins has made a strong case that the Long Count calendar of the Maya was actually a device for tracking the cycle of precession. This is the 26,000-year cycle in which the Earth’s axis, which is 23.5 degrees off “vertical”, rotates in a circle, and is measured by the movement of constellations against the fixed positions of the rising equinox or solstice Sun. The winter solstice 2012 termination point of the 13-baktun cycle indicates a 36-year time window (1980 to 2016) in which the winter solstice Sun rises on the galactic equator. Astronomers variously put the exact half-way point of this process at 1998 or 1999, but the Olmecs and Maya targeted it at 2012. Some commentators have said that the Maya were thus 13-14 years out with their end-point, which is still quite impressive considering it was calculated over 2,000 years ago by a non-technological society. However, as we shall see, there are reasons for considering that the year 2012 is a significant year in the Galactic Alignment process, and was deliberately targeted.

The Toltec people of northern Mexico, like the Maya, used the 260-day almanac and also a 365-day calendar known to the Maya as the Haab. Each day had a name in the 260-day calendar and a name in the 365-day calendar, but it took exactly 73 Tzolkins, and 52 Haabs for the combination to repeat itself. This period is known as a Calendar Round, and every Calendar Round the Toltecs held a ceremony called a New Fire Ceremony six months before the day of the zenith passage of the Sun (when it is directly overhead). John Major Jenkins has shown that this New Fire Ceremony was originally also a method of tracking the cycle of precession. It is recorded that exactly six months before the New Fire Ceremony, the priests would go to the top of a hill to see if the Pleiades reached the zenith at midnight, and if the constellation reached the zenith, that meant that the “world would not end”. They would then know exactly how close the Pleiades would be to the zenith Sun, six months later, when the stars were not visible due to the daylight.

The Stone Alarm Clock

When the Toltecs moved down to the Yucatan peninsula, in southern Mexico, it seems that they merged their zenith cosmology with the Maya system, and encoded the result into the Pyramid of Kukulcan at Chichen Itza. The pyramid has 91 steps on each of its four sides, totalling 364, plus the top step: 365 altogether. This is a clear sign of a calendrical meaning. Every year, on spring equinox, the afternoon Sun causes a shadow play on the pyramid, so it appears that a huge snake is descending the pyramid from the sky. The effect is enhanced by stone snake heads at the bottom of one staircase. The Crotalus durissus rattlesnake, whose zig-zag pyramid pattern has heavily influenced Maya art and architecture, also has a marking close to its rattle, that is identical to the Maya Ahau glyph, which is associated with the Sun. The rattle itself, is called “tzab” in the Yucatec Maya language and this is also the word for the Pleiades constellation. Jenkins argues that Kulkulcan, the Maya name for Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent of the Toltecs and Aztecs, is thus a symbol for the Sun-Pleiades-zenith conjunction, and sure enough, we are now at the beginning of a 360-year time window when the Pleiades conjuncts the zenith Sun directly over the Pyramid of Kukulcan. Right at start of the 360-year time window is 2012, and on the 20th May 2012, 60 days after the equinox snake shadow-play, the Pleiades-zenith Sun conjunction will occur on the same day as a solar eclipse, on the day 10 Chicchan in the unbroken Tzolkin count of the highland Maya. Chicchan means snake, and the snake rattle is sounding our wake-up alarm call!

The Hopi Emergence

According to Frank Waters’ Book of the Hopi, the Native American Hopi people say that we are in the fourth of seven eras ­ the Fourth World, and that we are approaching the transition to the Fifth World. The First World ended by fire; the Second World ended when the Earth “teetered off balance”, causing floods and an ice age, and the Third World ended in a flood. There will be a “Great Purification” just before the start of the Fifth World. The transition is called an Emergence and every year, in November, the Hopi have a ceremony called Wuwuchim, held in an underground chamber called a kiva, in which they re-enact the Emergence, which is seen as a birth process, and “initiates undergo a spiritual rebirth”. There is a hole in the floor of the kiva, symbolising the previous ascent, or Emergence from the Third World to the Fourth World. The ladder leading up and out of the kiva represents the forthcoming Emergence from the Fourth World into the Fifth World. The ceremony includes a “New Fire Ceremony” and culminates at midnight, with the Pleiades constellation overhead, showing a direct connection with the Toltec (and later Aztec) New Fire Ceremony, which Jenkins has decoded as a precession-tracking method, as encoded in the Pyramid of Kukulcan, “stone alarm clock” with its 2012 rattle-snake alarm.

The Spiritual Wedding

It seems that “the end of the world” actually means “the end of the World”, as in the end of the current era, and there are at least three more to go, according to Hopi mythology. Archaeologist Laurette Sejourné says that the Aztecs misunderstood the religion of the Toltecs, which was based on the concept of rebirth ­ symbolised by the snake, since it sheds its skin and Quetzalcoatl, the plumed serpent, who is represented in the “stone alarm clock” at Chichen Itza, represents a union of Earth (snake) and sky (feathers).

In Kundalini yoga, there is said to be a fire-snake, coiled in three and a half coils in the base chakra (one of seven power-zones along the human spine). It is coiled around the Shiva lingham ­ the male line of force that comes down from the sky. Kundalini, according to Mary Scott, is an Earth force that comes up from the Earth. She also notes that there are several findings by dowser Guy Underwood, which confirm this connection. Kundalini yoga is the practise of awakening the snake and allowing it to rise up the spine until it reaches the highest chakra, the Crown chakra, where the meeting of Shiva and Shakti lead to enlightenment and the trance of Samadhi ­ ecstasy ­ the annihilation of the ego and the end of duality. This sounds very similar to the meeting of the Maori Sky and Earth gods, which has been predicted for 2012, and also the merging of the Inca Overworld and Underworld onto the everyday world ­ also predicted for 2012.

The original Toltec religion of rebirth associated with Quetzalcoatl has actually now been revealed in a long lost Aztec codex called Pyramid of Fire ­ (published by Jenkins), which says that Quetzalcoatl is “the man that achieves God”, and that concept of sacrifice was originally the sacrifice of the ego. Everyone has their own serpent, which is the energy of Tonatiuh, the Sun. “And in this serpent sleeps consciousness, in this serpent is hidden divinity. From this serpent his wings will grow”.

Plasmatic Immersion

So the “spiritual opportunity for mankind” spoken of by Danion Brinkley can be confirmed as a time very close to 2012, when something will trigger a mass Kundalini experience in mankind… but what could the trigger be?

Alexey Dmitriev, a Russian geologist, has analysed the increasing changes in Earth’s weather and seismic phenomena, plus recent changes to the geomagnetic field. He has also taken into account solar changes, and changes to the weather and magnetic fields of all the other planets in the solar system. A ten-fold increase to the layer of deflected interstellar plasma on the heliosphere boundary indicates that the solar system is headed into an area of magnetised plasma that Dmitriev says is causing these changes. An increasing incidence of plasma balls in the atmosphere is a sign of the imminent “transformation of Earth” says Dmitriev, involving an interaction with processes beyond the three-dimensional world.

Like Brinkley, other near-death-experience subjects have also foreseen Earth changes and consciousness changes associated with 2012, as have many who have undergone out-of-body experiences, lucid dreams, remote viewing, meditative trance states, and even alien abduction experiences. These are all mystical states in which the pineal gland in the centre of the human brain secretes dimethyltryptamine (DMT) into the blood, according to Rick Strassman’s recent study, and the Maya shamans used a mushroom containing psilocybin, which is a close relative of DMT, apparently accessing some sort of global mega-mind - the developing consciousness of the Earth mother

The13-baktun cycle is a 260-unit cycle and thus a macroscopic version of the 260-day sacred Tzolkin calendar, which is based on the period of human gestation, so the 13-baktun cycle may measure a planetary gestation period of 5,125 years, which is the length of human civilization’s recorded history. It seems that our entry into the magnetised plasma band will cause Earth weather changes, and a geomagnetic reversal, which will trigger the pineal gland into DMT and pinoline production, leading to kundalini and out-of-body experiences and increasing incidents of telepathy, while we develop our ability to see beyond the veil and into the next World.

Healing Codes And DNA Repair

In the Scalar Heart Connection technique, we use muscle checking to provide physical, mental, and emotional feedback regarding areas of coherence or incoherence. Yet, we may not fully appreciate the remarkable functionality of the body's energetic field and holographic characteristics that are producing these positive or negative energetic feedback responses.

By expanding our awareness of the components underlying coherence, such as the absorption of light into our cells, we can take steps to move into more complete coherence, with resultant benefits to our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

For example, Dr. Kikuo Chishima, a Japanese professor whose credentials and work will be examined in more detail below, theorized that the energetic or frequency information I the food we eat is even more important than the nutrients. Food contains molecular compounds of amino acids, complex carbohydrate chains and various chemical elements, each having their own unique frequency or vibration. It is the vibrations of the nutrients that raise the vibrations of the body's tissue. Pesticide and chemical laden fruits and vegetables, as well as animal protein contaminated with antibiotics and growth hormones, have chaotic vibratory oscillations that act to derail the high coherence of our nutritional energy needs. Thus, our food has to be in the utmost coherent energy state because that is what is taken into our cells in the form of biophoton energy. In addition, our mental state creates an energy field around us that affects the vibration of the food we are preparing or putting into our mouths.

This article also describes the exciting research of German biophysicist Fritz Albert Popp, Ph.D., a Nobel Prize winner in physics, who investigated the relationship between coherence and the biophoton energy in our cells. Popp used highly sensitive light-measuring equipment to monitor the light emitted by living cells. He was able to confirm that living cells emit small bursts of light. He determined that cells do not just radiate light, they also absorb light. In fact, the storage time is relative to the quality of the cell. Therefore, a healthy cell will store light the longest, while an unhealthy cell will give off the light in a shorter time. He also discovered that the dying process of a cell is identical to that of a star. Shortly before its death, it will change into a supernova, whereby its radiation increases a thousand-fold, He further discovered that a healthy cell radiates coherent light, while a diseased cell radiates chaotic light.

According to Popp, every cell in our body receives coherent light, stores coherent light, and emits coherent light.1 The most basic sub-molecular component of our body is made up of particles of light called biophotons. These biophotons, traveling at the speed of light, make up the electromagnetic frequency patterns that are found in every living organism. This matrix or field of frequency oscillations or resonance specificity provides the energetic switchboarding behind every cellular function, including DNA/RNA messengering. Cell membranes scan and convert signals into electromagnetic events as proteins within the cell's bi-layer change shape to vibrations of specific resonant frequencies.2 Every biochemical reaction is proceeded by an electromagnetic signal. Cells communicate both electromagnetically and chemically and create biochemical pathways that interconnect with all functions of the body.

Dr. Kikuo Chishima, Professor of the Nagoya Commercial University, Japan, and author of a nine volume collection of his research and scientific studies called "Revolution of Biology and Medicine: A New Theory on the Life Science and Its Practical Application to Health & Disease," is best known for his studies demonstrating that the origin of red blood corpuscles is not the bone marrow but the intestinal villus, and that red blood corpuscles differentiate into all kinds of somatic cells and germ cells in accordance with their cellular resonant environmental conditions.

Dr. Kikuo Chishima theorized that the intestinal villi act like small antennae that absorb both nutrients as well as energetic or frequency information from the food we eat. He concluded from his research that it is within the intestinal villi that the body produces red blood cells in a manner similar to how plant roots uptake nutrients from the soil and synthesizes them into plant cells. These red blood cells or erythrocytes respond to specific biophoton oscillations and aggregate, fuse, synthesize DNA and differentiate into lymphocyte or mesenchymal cells.3 The capillary system which is over 90,000 miles long is basically an open ended system that allows erythrocytes to migrate to any area of the body where they are needed. This open-ended system that connects to the lymphatic system, the meridian system and the connective tissue provides communication pathways for the flow of information and cellular instructions from the electromagnetic energy matrix.

Dr. Chishima's work offers some insight into current day quantum physics theories that remind us that at the sub-atomic level matter does not exist. There is only energy; bits of photons with lots of empty space around them. DNA has been thought to be the center of the definition of life. At closer inspection we find that DNA is made up of molecules, which are made up of sub-atomic particles and we end up back at the level of biophotons again. DNA is found to be nothing more than loose strands of deoxyribonucleic acid, a cluster of molecules attached to proteins that make up the cell's chromatin nucleus. It is interesting to note that, although DNA goes under the name of an acid, it is actually a salt (sodium).4 Sodium, as we know, is one of the body's important electrolytes and a conductor of electromagnetism. A DNA molecule is negatively charged, with the magnitude of the charge being proportional to the chain's length. It is a linear, one-dimensional crystal.3

The cell's inner most center is made up of ribonucleic acid and proteins (all molecules). The antenna or filament strand like configuration of DNA allows the molecules to receive and transmit electromagnetic frequency information along its nucleotide bases, creating resonance reactions within targeted genetic or nucleotide triplets that create the template for the formation of messenger RNA (mRNA). Once mRNA has formed it leaves the cell nucleus and attaches to structures known as ribosomes. Using raw material from the cell, the ribosomes produce proteins by following the sequence as instructed by the mRNA. The proteins in turn go about doing their jobs inside or outside the cell based on the original instructions passed down from the electromagnetic coding to DNA to RNA and finally to the ribosomes. This process is known as transcription and provides the means for electromagnetic frequency oscillations, the body's master conductor, to interact with the cell's command center to instruct what notes to play, when, how loud, how long, etc., etc. in order to maintain the precision and harmony of the whole body's vibratory and cellular orchestra.

To reduce our DNA to the point of sub-atomic particles of energy may leave us wondering what is left. Our bodies have now totally disappeared into a sea of energy that is seemingly under the control of a superconscious energy field. From this vantage point we begin to see how we are interconnected with everything else. We also can begin to understand how it is possible for red blood cells to transform into tissue cells and with enough interference from poor food, stress, environmental toxins, and inner conflicts into cancerous cells. It also begins to explain how it is possible for human limb regeneration to occur without the aid of cellular mitosis.5

An interruption or distortion in the range, strength and coherency of the body's electromagnetic energy system leads to a breakdown in the body's self-healing mechanisms. Our thoughts and emotions are also frequency patterns and have a direct relationship on the integrity of our energy field. A disruption in our consciousness can create an area of stagnation or incoherence in our bodies that can derail DNA transcription, suppress T-cell and NK-cell activity, and other immune system functions and lead to chronic and degenerative illnesses, depression and other psychosis.

Dr. Ralph Alan Dale, the director of the Acupuncture Education Center in North Miami Beach, Florida, after spending the last two decades tracking down clinical and research data from China, Japan, and Germany, has accumulated evidence of eighteen different microacupuncture holograms in the body, including one in the hands, feet, arms, neck, tongue, and even the gums. Dale feels that these microsystems are "holographic reiterations of the gross anatomy," and believes there are still other such systems waiting to be discovered. In a notion reminiscent of Bohm's assertion that every electron in some way contains the cosmos, Dale hypothesizes that every finger, and even every cell, may contain its own acupuncture microsystem.6,7

It is this holographic characteristic of the body's energy field that provides physical, mental, emotional and spiritual feedback into areas of incoherence. Applied Kinesiology allows us to identify these non-coherent energy patterns that manifest as our emotional, relationship, or physical difficulties.8 The same feedback system is also used to identify the proper healing modality needed to activate the macro- and micro-structures of the human energy system to bring about coherence and a restoration of health and mental/emotional well-being.

It has been documented that DNA repair can be activated using a frequency of 528hz. At this precise frequency the clustered water molecules that surround and support the DNA structure form a perfect six-sided hexagon.9,10 This demonstrates how important it is to our health and vitality to support and maintain our energetic coherence on all levels of our lives. Even the slightest deviation in resonance on the cellular level can cause the frequency that supports the beautiful and magical six-sided hexagon to become something less coherent. Since every cell encapsulates information about the entire organism, we can see how important it is to our health and vitality to support and maintain our energetic coherence on all levels of our lives.

Global Warming Affecting Other Planets

Kofi Annan today slammed global warming skeptics as being "out of step" and "out of time," but how will altering human activity halt climate change when the evidence clearly indicates that the sun itself and not SUV's is heating up the entire solar system?

"The U.N. chief lamented "a frightening lack of leadership" in fashioning next steps to reduce global emissions. "Let us start being more politically courageous," he urged the hundreds of delegates from some 180 member nations of the 1992 U.N. climate treaty," reports Forbes.

But how do we square the fact that almost every planet in our solar system is simultaneously undergoing temperature change and volatile weather patterns. Does this not suggest that global warming is a natural cycle as a result of the evolving nature of the sun? Can Al Gore fill me in on this one?

- Space.com: Global Warming on Pluto Puzzles Scientists
In what is largely a reversal of an August announcement, astronomers today said Pluto is undergoing global warming in its thin atmosphere even as it moves farther from the Sun on its long, odd-shaped orbit.

- Space.com: New Storm on Jupiter Hints at Climate Change
The latest images could provide evidence that Jupiter is in the midst of a global change that can modify temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit on different parts of the globe.

- Current Science & Technology Center: Global Warming on Mars?
A study of the ice caps on Mars may show that the red planet is experiencing a warming trend. If both Mars and Earth are experiencing global warming, then perhaps there is a larger phenomenon going on in the Solar System that is causing their global climates to change.

- United Press International: NASA looks at a monster storm on Saturn
NASA says its Cassini spacecraft has found a hurricane-like storm at Saturn's South Pole, nearly 5,000 miles across -- or two-thirds Earth's diameter.

- Science Agogo: Global Warming Detected on Triton
There may not be much industrial pollution on Neptune's largest moon, but things are hotting up nonetheless. "At least since 1989, Triton has been undergoing a period of global warming," confirms astronomer James Elliot, professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Percentage-wise, it's a very large increase."

- Associated Press: Study says sun getting hotter
Solar radiation reaching the Earth is 0.036 percent warmer than it was in 1986, when the current solar cycle was beginning, a researcher reports in a study to be published Friday in the journal Science. The finding is based on an analysis of satellites that measure the temperature of sunlight.

- London Telegraph: The truth about global warming - it's the Sun that's to blame
Global warming has finally been explained: the Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly than at any time during the past 1,000 years, according to new research.

The simple fact is that throughout the ages the earth has swung wildly between a warm, wet, stable climate, to a cold, dry and windy one - long before the first fossil fuel was burned. The changes we are now witnessing are a walk in the park compared to the battering that our planet has taken in the past.

This is not a defense of the oil cartels or the Neo-Con wreckers, who would have every motivation to ignore global warming whether it is man-made or not.

Nor is it a blanket denial of the fact that the earth is getting very gradually hotter, but how do we reconcile global warming taking place at the farthest reaches of the solar system with the contention that it is caused by human activity? Have our exhaust fumes left earth's atmosphere and slipped through a black hole to Triton?

The assertion that global warming is man made is so oppressively enforced upon popular opinion, especially in Europe, that expressing a scintilla of doubt is akin to holocaust denial in some cases. Such is the insipid brainwashing that has taken place via television, newspapers and exalted talking heads - global warming skeptics are forced to wear the metaphoric yellow star and only discuss their doubts in hushed tones and conciliatory frameworks, or be cat-called, harangued and jeered by an army of do-gooders who righteously believe they are rescuing mother earth by recycling a wine bottle or putting their paper in a separate trash can.

Fearmongering about an imminent climate doomsday also hogs news coverage and important environmental issues like GM food, mad scientist chimera cloning and the usurpation and abuse of corporations like Monsanto flies under the radar.

Global warming is cited as an excuse to meter out further control and surveillance over our daily lives, RFID chips on our trash cans, GPS satellite tacking and taxation by the mile, as well as a global tax at the gas pump.

The extremist wing of the environmentalist movement, characterized by people like Dr. Erik Pianka, advocate the mass culling of humanity via plagues and state sanctioned bio-terrorism, in order to "save" the earth from the disease of humanity. Nazi-like genocial population control measures and the environmental establishment have always held a close alliance.

The orthodox organized religion of global warming and its disastrous consequences for our freedom of speech, freedom of mobility and our right to remain outside of the system, needs to be questioned on the foundational basis that the phenomenon is solar-system wide and it is mainly caused by the natural evolution of the sun and not human activity.

Subliminal Influences

Evidence that subliminal is not so 'sub'
The popular notion of subliminal information is that it streams into an unguarded mind, unchecked and unprocessed. However, neurobiologists' experiments are now revealing that the brain does consciously process subliminal information and that such processing influences how that subliminal information is perceived.

In an article in the November 9, 2006, issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press, Kimihiro Nakamura and colleagues report experiments with human volunteers demonstrating such "top-down" processing of subliminal information.

Their findings also shed light on the neural mechanism by which reading a printed word evokes the representation of the spoken form. This "lexical-phonological" linkage is critical to learning to read and is disrupted in some forms of reading disorders.

In the researchers' experiments, they showed volunteers either words or pronounceable nonwords and asked them to perform either a lexical task or a pronunciation task on the words. The lexical task was to identify whether the word they saw was a real word or a nonsense word.

However, unbeknownst to the subjects, they had been first presented with a subliminal word that either matched or didn't match the target word. Such subliminal words were "masked" with nonsense characters that would render the presentation subliminal. The researchers' initial experiments showed that presenting subliminal words identical to the target word produced a "priming" effect in which subjects responded faster on the lexical or pronunciation tasks.

The researchers next applied a harmless magnetic pulse--called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)--to two key regions of the brain involved in such perception, before presenting the priming word. The two regions were known to be involved in either converting visually perceived words to phonological representations or to integrating perceived words across visual and auditory modes. TMS is known to transiently affect neural function in a target area.

Nakamura and colleagues found that TMS applied to one brain area or the other could selectively disrupt the priming effect for either the lexical or pronunciation task. The researchers concluded that the conscious task instruction for either of the tasks caused a different neural network to be engaged for generating the appropriate behavioral response.

They concluded that their results "provide direct evidence for the proposal that even the unconscious processing of incoming stimuli operates under the strong influence of the conscious task instructions." They also concluded that "results further suggest that such top-down, strategic control modulates the bottom-up neural activation produced by unconsciously perceived words to set up a different neural circuit for generating the intended behavioral response."

In a preview of the Neuron paper, Stanislas Dehaene and Lionel Naccache commented that "perhaps the most important implications of the Nakamura et al. study concern our concept of automaticity. Many theories of human cognition postulate that nonconscious cognitive processes are automatic and independent of attention. Recently, however, experimental reports using the masked priming paradigm have revealed that subliminal processing is affected by several top-down effects. By showing that repetition priming can be suppressed by applying TMS to distinct locations depending on the task, the present results strongly support this point of view."

Dehaene and Naccache concluded that the results "support the idea that a whole chain of processing defined by the task, once prepared consciously, can be applied to nonconsciously perceived stimuli. Thus, 'subliminal' is not synonymous with 'automatic' or 'task-independent.' Our expectations shape our processing of subliminal stimuli."

Caffeine Can Cause Chronic Anxiety

FSU study links anxiety sensitivity to future psychological disorders
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- People who get scared when they experience a pounding heart, sweaty palms or dizziness -- even if the cause is something as mundane as stress, exercise or caffeine -- are more likely to develop a clinical case of anxiety or panic disorder, according to a Florida State University researcher in Tallahassee, Fla.

While other researchers have proposed a connection between this so-called "anxiety sensitivity" and a range of anxiety problems, the study by FSU psychology professors N. Brad Schmidt and Jon Maner and University of Vermont Professor Michael Zvolensky provides the first evidence that anxiety sensitivity is a risk factor in the development of anxiety disorders. The study will be published in the December issue of the Journal of Psychiatric Research.

"The findings offer an exciting possibility for prevention of anxiety and panic reactions among high-risk individuals," Schmidt said, explaining that the key is to teach people cognitive and behavioral skills to reduce their anxiety sensitivity so that it does not lead to a serious problem.

People with anxiety sensitivity perceive their physical responses to certain triggers as a sign of imminent personal harm. They not only fear their reactions, they also fear that other people will detect their anxiety, which only serves to increase their anxiety and puts them at risk for a panic attack, according to Schmidt.

While a single panic attack does not indicate development of a psychological disorder -- in fact, some estimates indicate that about 20 percent of people will experience a spontaneous panic attack at some point in their lives -- repeated occurrences do, he said.

"When people start having repeated panic attacks, plus a lot of what we call panic-related worry -- they worry when the next attack will occur and they start avoiding things due to worry -- this is when someone has panic disorder," Schmidt said.

People with panic disorder suffer attacks of intense feelings of terror that strike suddenly with no warning. Some sufferers have a feeling of being out of control or even on the verge of death. They soon develop a "fear of fear" and may begin to restrict their activities in an attempt to prevent more attacks.

The study followed 404 young adults over a two-year period as part of an anxiety prevention study. After completing interviews and a battery of self-report measures, including the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI), eligible participants then were randomly assigned to either a treatment or control group.

The researchers found that those who scored high on the ASI during the initial assessment -- whether they were assigned to the prevention or the control group -- were nearly twice as likely to have suffered spontaneous panic attacks and to have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder by the time of the follow-up two years later.

Integrated Time And Space

The space and time are integrally encapsulated in the space-time configuration of our physical 3-D universe. When you can get out of this configuration, you can see the physical capsule of the space-time configuration.

Scientists now realize that integrated consciousness has infinite time dimensions that is similar to spherical coordinate system. Any part of it can see the rest of it. It is just amazing.

Integrated consciousness is where things start and end. The Universe floats in the realm of higher dimensional Hyperspace. A chilled universe below it that never gets destroyed holds the Hyperspace. The chilled universe is actually nothing but an infinite spherical time dimension in integrated consciousness. The spherical coordinate of infinite time dimensions allow looking at the whole from anywhere in the chilled universe.

The concept of time in spherical system becomes very interesting. It literally repeats within a specific process thread. What that really means is Chilled Universe is actually an intricate system of integrated consciousness that manifests itself as knowledge.

Once you are a process thread because of the spherical nature of time dimension, you can keep coming back to the same spot again and again to enhance your knowledge and that has no end because of endless dimensions of time.
