Wegner’s White Bear Experiment: A Classic Study on Thought Suppression

white_bearIn a study by Wegner et al., participants were instructed to not think of white bears for a period of 5 minutes and to ring a bell each time the thought of a white bear crossed their minds. Following this initial suppression period, another 5-minute phase was introduced during which participants could think of anything they wanted, including white bears, and continued to ring a bell each time the thought of a white bear surfaced. This group was compared to another group of participants who performed the expression phase first, without initial suppression. The results showed that suppression in the first phase was difficult for the participants—most of them thought of white bears despite instructions not to think of them—and that thoughts of white bears rebounded after suppression in the second, free expression phase. In other words, the rate of white bear thoughts during the expression phase was higher in the suppression-first group than in the expression-first group.

In order to control thoughts and behaviours, people often try to suppress unwanted thoughts. Dieters may try to avoid thinking about fatty foods, a person in drug rehabilitation may try not to think of drugs, a student may attempt to concentrate on an exam and suppress thoughts of distracting objects, and a professor may try to suppress aggressive thoughts about a colleague he finds immoral and socially unacceptable. Yet, many times these attempts to suppress one’s thoughts not only fail but also produce the opposite effect.

Why You’re Here: Life Purpose and Life Lessons

scenery_large_081413.jpg

 

Join Itzhak Beery for the live video webinar “Shamanic Paths to Your Life Purpose: Hand Analysis, Numerology, Astrology, and the Mayan Naguals.” For this Evolver course, Itzhak will be joined by four master practitioners of the ancient arts of divination — palmist Richard Unger, numerologist Julian Michael, shamanic astrologer Daniel Giamario, and Mayan Nagual Shuni Giron — as they demonstrate and explain how these practices can reveal your life purpose to you. This course will introduce you to the role that life purpose serves in each shamanic tradition, and give you the tools to recognize and explore your own unique life purpose. It all starts on September 11. To learn more, click here.  

 

Discovering your life purpose – the reason you’re living the particular life you have – is likely the single most important understanding you can ever achieve for yourself.

The search for life purpose is as ancient as civilization itself. We all ask, “Why am I here on Earth?” “What is the purpose of my life?” “What am I here to learn?” These existential questions are universal. Esoteric practices like Numerology, Astrology, the Mayan Naguals, Tarot, among many others, have been developed to find answers for people, often in desperate situations, who know, deep down, that the experiences of their lives are not arbitrary, that there are reasons, if only they could understand them – then their lives would have meaning.

 

What Is a Life Purpose?

Your life purpose is your north star in the dark night as you navigate your canoe. It is the compass by which your soul directs your life journey. It is the key to realizing who you came here to be, and what you came here to accomplish. It cannot be changed. It is your soul essence. It belongs uniquely to you, from the time you came to this world, and some believe it is formed even before you were born, in the womb. It won’t tell you what job you need to pursue. It is the place you came from to do your job. Being conscious and internalizing your life purpose can give you permission and set you free to pursue your life with power, joy and freedom.

 

What Is a Life Lesson?

Achieving your life purpose is no easy task. You have to work for it, like running and jumping over obstacle courses on a life track. Life is sure to present you with all the obstacles that are possible. You will find the right people who will push your buttons. You will create enemies. You will encounter traumas, illness and other travesties — all to teach you your life lessons. If you avoid them, you won’t learn and will find yourself repeating those traumas again and again.

In a workshop I led on a cliff overlooking Israel’s Dead Sea, I asked the participants to choose 12 stones. I then asked them to lay the stones in a circle on a piece of paper and to put a candle in the circle’s center to symbolize their life purpose. Next, I asked them to pick up each stone and journey to a specific trauma, obstacle or negative event and write it down next to each stone. At the end of the exercise, I asked them to identify and consider the common thread that connects those 12 events to each other. When we finished, they buried the stones in the sand and said a release prayer. Afterwards, one participant followed me into the desert wanting to talk. He was so excited. “Now I know why I became impotent!” he exclaimed.

 

Knowing Your Life Purpose Can Set You Free

I know the power of life purpose, because accepting mine was a major event for me. Years ago I met Richard Unger and took part in one of his Hand Analysis trainings. Though I had been something of a skeptic, it opened my eyes to this ancient art form. Some years later, Richard developed what he called “Life Prints,” a system that uses the unique fingerprints on each of the ten fingers to decipher a person’s life purpose. He read mine and, indeed, it literally changed my life.

That reading gave me the permission I needed to become the person I am today. You see, as a young child I needed to tell stories and share ideas. I needed to express myself. But the woman on the Kibbutz in Israel who was my caretaker at the children’s house (we lived separately from our parents) did not have the patience to listen to everything I had to say.

“You talk nonstop,” she used to complain. One day, when she had had enough, she took me aside and said, “Itzhak, God gave each of us a limited number of words to use in our lives. When you use them all up, you will die.” I knew it was not true, but I took what she said to heart. In shamanic language, as I later came to understand, that was a curse. After that, I learned to control myself and to not waste my words. I lived in fear, and whenever I talked in front of groups my stomach churned, my heart palpitated and I used to pee in my pants. I came to convince myself that I had nothing worth saying in public, that what I thought wouldn’t matter to anyone.

In his reading, Richard told me that I was “a man with a message who needs a large stage” to express himself. To hear my life’s purpose with such clarity was a critical personal turning point for me, which literally set me free from all my self-imposed restrictions.

Richard also read my wife’s life purpose, and those of our three children. I believe that it made us more aware and conscious individuals, and hopefully better parents. Fast forward a few years, and Richard and I decided to teach a course together on life purpose, bringing together both of our disciplines: his Hand Analysis and my Shamanic Visioning, integrated into one workshop. We offered it in New York, San Francisco, Florence and Zurich. Each time we witnessed the real impact it made on people’s lives.

 

“A Woman of Power”

At a seminar I taught in Istanbul, a tall, impressive woman took part. She was in her mid-fifties, with white hair and a commanding, queen-like presence. It was hard not to see it. As the workshop progressed, she and the people she worked with discovered her life purpose: she was a woman of power. But she went out of her way to deny it. “Me?” she said incredulously. “I do whatever others tell me to do!”

The next day she came for a private session and I asked her about her denial. She claimed to be weak and not significant. But then, after a soul retrieval, she confided that her beloved mother had made her feel weak and insignificant all her life, through to the present day. That discovery was her life lesson.

Another woman, in a seminar I gave in Warsaw, was also surprised to learn that she had this same life purpose. As a result, she made a commitment to start “showing up,” to speak up to her husband, and to use her voice to experience her power.

 

“Not Enough”

Feeling satisfied with who you are and what you do can be extremely challenging, as this example from the case of an overachiever makes clear. This young man was an A+ student, but that was not enough. “I could have done better,” he said. Being president of the student body of a famous Ivy League college was not enough. To be chosen as one of the ten most brilliant young people of the year was not enough. Having a weekly column appear in many publications was not enough. Even starting a multi-million social organization was not enough. Learning to be satisfied with himself and his achievements is this man’s life work. Without this knowledge, he is doomed to experience himself as a consistent underachiever.

 

“Experiencing Love” 

“I don’t like this life purpose!” the tall, young, beautiful woman in a Warsaw seminar declared angrily when it was suggested that her life purpose was to experience love.

“So then, what are you doing to experience love?” I asked.

“I do everything,” she said desperately. “I’m dating all the time, but apparently the wrong men. All my relationships are short, just a few months. In the end, it seems, they lose interest in me. Or I want out.”

“Are you willing to let them in, and show them who you truly are?”

“Oh, no! I can’t trust them. I want them to prove that I can trust them first. But if I detect even the smallest reason not to, I’ll call it off.”

Her life lesson? You can’t experience love with a closed heart. Unless she learns to be vulnerable, to open her heart and trust men, she will repeat the same pattern and will never allow herself to experience what she came here for.

 

“Land of Sins”

On one of my first trips to the Amazon with shaman Ipupiara and his wife, our group paid a visit to Bibi, a legendary Umbanda priestess, whose reputation had spread through the Rio Negro area and beyond. Our boat docked by her large, simple wooden house and temple, and as darkness set the old woman — who was then 85 — held a special ceremony for us that lasted late into the night.

Standing by her crowded and beautiful altar, wearing her ceremonial pink dress, she started shaking involuntarily and went into a deep trance. She puffed on a few cigarettes and started channeling one of her entities, the sailor. I kneeled before her and asked the entity a personal question. I was surprised when a man’s voice answered. Then, suddenly, the dialog stopped. The sailor announced that my soul had decided, on its own, to come back to this “Land of Sins,” and for a special purpose: to heal and help people, even though my soul had completed its mission and did not need to return again.

“Do you understand what he said?’ Ipupiara asked me.

“No,” I answered.

“By the Land of Sins, he meant this world, the Earth. And you are an avatar,” Ipupiara said. She looked straight at me as if I was the most ignorant person alive.

“What’s an avatar?” I asked in surprise.

As Ipupiara answered my question in a hushed voice, a deep sadness fell upon me, and I became incredibly emotional. An old memory, long buried, from between the ages of two and three years old, appeared in my mind. It was a recollection of knowing then that I do not belong here on this planet, and of asking myself, why am I alive? I did not want to be here. I knew I wanted to go home, to let go of my physical body. This existence was just too painful.

Accepting your life purpose — even if it strikes you at first as peculiar or uncomfortable — allows you to direct your life path with clarity and power. This knowledge helps you to recognize that every negative event you experience is actually a teaching that takes you a step closer toward achieving your ultimate goal. At the same time, decisions become easier, since you can reject decisions that don’t support your life purpose. At the same time, once you begin living from this perspective, you can accept that each of us are have our own, unique life purposes, which lead us to pursue our lives in our own, unique ways. We realize how important it is to give others the permission they need to fully experience their life lessons, and to support their pursuit of life purpose. That, indeed, is the truest expression of love.

More Sundiving COmets

Posted on by

ANOTHER SUNDIVING COMET: Here we go again. Another comet is diving into the sun, the second one this week. Coronagraphs onboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) are monitoring the death plunge:

The icy comet, which probably measures a few 10s of meters wide, is vaporizing furiously and is not expected to survive much longer.

Like the comet that came before it, this one is a member of the Kreutz family. Kreutz sungrazers are fragments from the breakup of a single giant comet many centuries ago. They get their name from 19th century German astronomer Heinrich Kreutz, who studied them in detail.

Because of their common parentage, sungrazers often come in clusters. After today’s sungrazer evaporates, it wouldn’t be surprising to find yet another in the offing.

Music of the Spheres

MUSIC OF THE SPHERES

Please take from this what resonates with you and discard the rest. Thanks Peter

MUSIC OF THE SPHERES

There are many other schools of thought concerning sound healing and tone healing. The Lunar Visions School is being developed completely from the original teaching of the Mystery Schools of past millenniums. Lunar Visions is being gifted with this extraordinary teaching of how to become immortal and being empowered with the responsibility of teaching those who want to remember, realign and re-cognize their true reality. Most of the teachings that are still on Earth, were completely densified and lost their meaning. The original teachings clearly said the frequencies were to be created in the mind, and then in the voice of each individual.

The music of the spheres was the toning sequence used in Mystery Schools of all ancient times. The music of the spheres directly interfaces with, and activates the DNA template. The original teachings of the mystery schools said it was the voice and the mind that must be used to create the music of the spheres. It was not an instrument, it was the heart song of the individual that would allow one to fly through the universes.

The music of the spheres can never be disconnected from an individual’s temple (the light body that has been transformed into this dimensional density) and the planet, universe, galaxy, solar system and cosmos that this individual originated from and is connected with for eternity. The music of the spheres is an activation process that includes the tonal, harmonic, octave and key structure aligned through and within the crystal structure, the light structure and the energy structure of the spheres and their alignment with each other.

These toning sequences open planetary axiom lines for activating planetary shields. Simultaneously, this toning activates the DNA strands in the body template.

This has been called a spiritual geometry and it has been broken down into many units of understanding over the past eons. Most of the schools of understanding are partially or completely incorrect due to the density of the teachings. The key structure and chordal structure of the music system used in this matrix is not incorrect, but it is only a molecule or an atom of the real system of music. Most of what has been created in the music schools and in the creation of musical instruments has been done through the same control process of the fallen angelic entities who base everything on sucking energy out of other sources of energy instead of going to Source for Energy.

The element that was lost in the music of the spheres was that connection to energy of Source Consciousness. There are three elements needed for the co-creativity with Divine Mind. First we need crystal in the form of crystal light, crystal dust, crystal liquid light. Next we need Light from the Sun, which is created from the rainbow rays of infinite sources of the highest frequency of Source. Then we need the braiding of the sun’s energies from all solar systems that are included with the three matrixes of Gaia, Tara and Earth. This energy is contained in the Urtha Matrix and is streaming down it’s form of light to align with the Earth at this present time.

The third element is energy. The energy comes from Consciousness. The closer one’s consciousness is to Source, the higher the frequency of that individuals vibrations are. Each individual is a key, just like a song might be sung in the key of C or E. We understand how to tune up an instrument to be in a key. What our present musical education does not include is how to raise the frequencies of an instrument or a singer. That is the element that is lost in the musical structure; we have been told this is the lost chord. It is the energy of consciousness that is missing from our planet. This energy of raising the oscillation patterns of consciousness, which is directly reflected in the etheric quality of the voice, is what is required to get on the same wave length with the spiritually attuned matrixes.

The crystal is still here. Many use crystals for healing and activating energy. The light was divided by miasms placed in the Earth’s grids by the fallen angels. The streaming of energy was directed inward to cause a total collapse away from Source. This inward braiding of energy has caused the density of this system to go into disharmony and dysfunction.

The light energy is supposed to come out from the sun that is inside of the Earth’s core and stream up and out like butterfly wings. The suns of each planet are supposed to do this and braid and connect with the energies of each other into a grander bandwidth that carries more developed higher frequencies to create new realties from. This process has finally been set back in motion after millions of years of improper movement blocking us from the sun’s energy – the highest frequency of the universe.

This light energy coming from the Earth’s sun and streaming upward through the individual’s temple of crystal light energy can create frequencies of music, as well as light energy in the form of reading light or generation for technology. This was already shown to the Earth by Tesla. This science of co-creation will be completely restored by individuals on Earth as we begin to interact through telecommunication with those in the Inner Earth, other Subterranean Cities of Light and other Matrixes. We need the energy or light from our own consciousness restored by raising the frequencies of consciousness.

That term of consciousness, and raising consciousness has been used in metaphysical science for centuries. The understanding came to me in the recording studio. I first saw how technology could realign the voice to become more and more beautiful as negative vibrational levels were removed from the voice on the mixing board. I then started listening to recordings of my voice, and kept singing to align my voice with the voice I heard that had the negative vibrations removed. I then worked to get my original voice closer and closer to the etheric perfection that I wished to hear. I believed that this etheric frequency in my voice was also realigning every negative vibration in my body by activating the crystal cells in the temple. I worked on this science of aligning the voice to create healing for fifteen years.

After the year 2000 a greater understanding of this principle of light and sound came into my consciousness. I began to receive directions from a team of Angels and Entities of Cosmic Energy. This understanding has grown by the day and I have been keeping a journal of my understanding by writing articles each week.

Every moment there is a new frequency, a new presence, a new level of understanding. The only moment of reality that is real is the moment that we are standing in. There have been so many sciences that have based their reality on one moment of understanding and then never go beyond it. Those realities are only theories. Everything is a theory, except God. God is the only thing that is not a theory. God is always allowing his children to create new theories and then expand them and change them into a new theory. This is God’s creation. To watch his children of his mind create and grow and create again. When we have created everything that is needed to know everything that God knows then we can say we actually know something. Until then, everything is a theory. If someone tries to hand you a fact of life tell them to keep it.

The way this co-creative process takes place is called the music of the spheres. This music is used to align all frequency bands of the 15 dimensional time matrix through core vibration sound signatures.

This frequency alignment of ones consciousness with all dimensional frequencies and the alignment of these frequencies with the crystal template of the body prepares the body for passage through the star gates – or the matrix density levels.

The first rule for activating the music of the spheres was the specific layering of tones, harmonies and overtones. The second rule of activating the song of each sphere, or the drumbeat of each sphere, or the frequency of each sphere had to be done through the voice, either mentally or externally – meaning it had to originate in consciousness and then be brought forth through the breath as resting on a crystal sphere of energy in order to project the purity of the angelic frequencies.

The formula for creating the music of the spheres was given to us here at Lunar Visions to create the music for the world to hear as performed through the angelic channelling of frequencies from the angels of each sphere.

We channel frequencies, tones, harmonies and overtones from Elohim, Seraphim, and the inaudible tones of the Gardayans (Guardian Angels).

We also channel oraphim angels, which are dolphins and whales in Aquafaria. We channel powerful angels such as Uriel, the keeper of the God Source Flame, Zadkiel, another keeper of the Violet Sphere of Transformational Energy and overseer of devas, angels and other small creative entities working on creating the New Earth. We channel St. Germain as the overall director of the wisdom involved in the project. Actually, we don’t channel – they just talk to us continuously. Channelling is only necessary for bringing in frequencies from very high sources of Cosmic and Solar energies that are needed to burn through the miasms that were planted in our minds through our pineal gland. The broken cords in the streams of light consciousness (or the fallen angels) planted a seal in our pineal gland that has blocked out the light and made us think backwards for several eons. The light is becoming strong enough to remove those seals now. We must consciously let this light in however, and then know what to do with it.

There are many other schools of thought concerning sound healing and tone healing. The lunar Visions School is developed completely from the original teaching of the Mystery Schools of past millenniums. Most of the teachings that are still on Earth, were completely densified and lost their meaning. The original teachings clearly said the frequencies were to be created in the mind, and then in the voice of each individual.

There was no mention of using words – except as the words came directly from Source. Those words would of course come as frequencies. And the meaning of the words came as a feeling of the level of the frequency. The frequency of consciousness was connected to a desire. And the desire was manifested as a result of the frequency. The co-creative process of manifestation combines the desired creation as the united consciousness with the elementals, the Devas, the little snowflake creators, the atoms, the crystal particles. These little etheric creators do all of the work. They are like Santa’s little helpers. They are like little jeenies that only want to fulfil our every desire.

However, all of these elements of the Divine Consciousness must originate from the perfect alignment with that highest frequency. That alignment comes from the music of the spheres. It comes from aligning all frequencies of the voice and the consciousness with that standing wave pattern which is a magical, brilliant feeling of at-one-ment with all bands of consciousness or spheres within spheres within spheres.

The word poems that channel from the 15th dimensional self of the singer collect the spheres of all angels in her family and bring these tones, overtones and inaudible frequencies down to create heaven on Earth.

This is how we will morph into the universal consciousness in order to bring this magical hologram into our own reality system. The 13,14 and 15th dimensions are the spheres of original divine creation. These spheres contain the frequencies that we bring in through consciousness and plant into our music.

There are many schools that use bells, crystals, tingshas, crystal bowls etc. The vibrational frequencies coming from these instruments do nothing in and of themselves. What they really do is activate the frequency of the person who is using the instrument. So the instrument is doing the same thing as a singer’s voice does. However, the original teachings of the mystery schools said it was the voice and the mind that must be used to create the music of the spheres. It was not an instrument, it was the heart song of the individual.

People actually believe that they are being healed by the crystal or the drum or the instrument, when in fact they are just listening to their own frequencies. The instrument might help activate their own frequencies. However, the consciousness is the only instrument that can truly raise ones frequencies and align the voice to match that frequency. There is no instrument that can do this.

Most people do not realize this because their personal frequency level and perception of that frequency isn’t developed enough to tell the difference between a high frequency and a low frequency.

Crystals may be found that resonate more accurately in alignment with ones personal frequencies. However, that crystal is not going to raise someone’s frequencies. The person’s frequencies raise as their crystal cells awaken. The awakening must be done through consciousness, and consciousness must be aligned with the frequencies of the standing wave patterns of a higher dimension. This is how healing is really accomplished. This is how immortality is accomplished. This is how teleportation, telecommunication and staying 33 forever is accomplished.

This is also true with toning or chanting. These formulas may accidentally work only because the person becomes more aware of the innate purity or healing that is already inside of him or her. It also may work because a person believes it will work and because they are lining up with the frequency mentally. The desire of making these formulas work activates angels and elementals into activating the desire.

The reality is the crystals are inside of the body – not outside. The body is made of crystals that maintain a frequency so glorious that they sing with the music of the spheres on all 15 dimensions. These cells contain all healing power and all knowing power. These crystal cells are the Akashic Libraries that contain all of the knowledge of the Universe.

So, the reality of all tonal healing is to wake up these glorious crystal cells. It is only personal consciousness that can do this.

We are the Crystal Magic Orchestra. We pull in the music of the spheres from 15 dimensions, align these angelic frequencies through the crystal temple, put them into a crystal sphere and breath into them the tone of home to activate the EirA, Manu and ManA manifestation entities to create the hologram of heaven that is desired and then bring it into this reality system.

Continuous practice of this formula using the music of the spheres prepares the crystal temple for teleportation and telecommunication with all 15 dimensions.

NAMASTE,

On Pyramid Power

Pyramid Power

Please take from this what resonates with you and discard the rest. Thanks Peter

Pyramid Power

  The enhanced energy field created by pyramids has become a popular field of study in recent decades. Dr. Patrick Flanagan, an electronics genius with hundreds of patented inventions, published a book on pyramid power in 1973. He believes the five angles of the pyramid project a beam of radiation towards the centre – the “fire in the middle.”Flanagan calls this amplified life-giving force “biocosmic energy,” though science has not yet understood the specifics of this energy. Karel Drbal, a Czechoslovakian engineer and pyramidologist, described the pyramid as “a kind of cosmic antenna, tuning into sources of energy of vaster intensity and then focusing it into its centre.”

With Kirlian photography Patrick Flanagan demonstrated that while most of the positive energy is focused within and beneath the pyramid, some is also diffused from the five points. Many who have stood on top of the Great Pyramid have described sensing a high energy field or electrical charge.

Since the 1970s engineer Joe Parr, a member of the Great Pyramid of Giza Research Association, has written about theoretical “mass particles” that the pyramid shape attracts and traps. He states that these particles produce an orb-like energy field or “containment bubble” around any true pyramid, which shields out other energies. Using his gamma ray transducer he was able to study this energy field, which emanates from the one-third height level of the pyramid, the geometric centre (which he pinpoints as the Queen’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid). He claims this centre holds three mass particles captive as long as there is space for ions to flow. He found that sun spot activity and the phases of the moon had an effect upon the intensity of a pyramid’s energy field, and that at certain times of the year the field would block all electromagnetic radiation and even the force of gravity.

In 1968 Dr. Luis Alvarez, a Nobel prize winner in physics, tried to ascertain whether there might be secret chambers or passages in Khefre’s pyramid (the middle pyramid on the Giza plateau, only slightly smaller than the Great Pyramid), by measuring how cosmic rays passed through it. Normally the recording device would show a drop in energy if cosmic rays were passing through an empty space rather than through stone. In this case the recording tapes, when analyzed by computers, showed that the cosmic particles could not be measured – every time the tapes were run, the patterns were different. The cosmic particles rearranged themselves and some of the data disappeared altogether. “This is scientifically impossible,” said one of the scientists, Dr. Amr Goneid … there is some force which defies the laws of science at work in the pyramid.”

Modern pyramidology had its beginnings in the 1920s when Antoine Bovis, a Frenchman visiting the Great Pyramid, noticed that the bodies of small animals – bats, mice and cats – which had died in the King’s Chamber were completely preserved by dehydration. Back home in Nice he built a scale model of the Great Pyramid, placed a dead cat about one-third up, and found that the body indeed did not decay but mummified.

His model, on display with preserved animals in his store window, was seen by a young man, Hubert Larcher, who later conducted his own investigations into pyramid power. He wrote to Karel Drbal, telling him of Bovis’s discoveries and writings. Drbal performed his own experiments and discovered that if a dull razor blade was left at the one-third level of a model pyramid, it would regain its sharpness within a week and would remain sharp if kept inside the pyramid (which, as for all experiments, must be facing magnetic north, with the edge of the blade facing north also). His Gillette Blue Blade which normally gave five shaves could now be used for fifty shaves or more. Drbal theorized that the energy waves in the pyramid caused the metal molecules to return to their original form. He went on to create and patent a Cheops Pyramid Razor Blade Sharpener.

The razor-sharpening effect brought pyramid power into the public eye. Anyone can duplicate the experiment, using a pyramid model in the proportions of the Great Pyramid. Regular double-edged blades can be used but single-edged blades without a stainless steel or platinum coating are better. Use a dull blade or dull it with a toothbrush, and leave it in the pyramid for a week.

Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder’s 1970 book Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain verified the dehydration of organic matter and sharpening of blades by pyramid shapes. With the publication of Pat Flanagan’s book and another by Max Toth and Greg Nielsen, “pyramid power” became popular and many people began their own experimentation.

Scientists and interested amateurs have performed experiments with plants, seeds, metals, food and liquids inside pyramids. Bill Schul and Ed Pettit placed identical containers of milk inside and outside a pyramid. Within a week the milk outside grew mould, whereas the milk inside the pyramid formed curds, and six weeks later turned into a smooth creamy yogurt. An experimenter named James Raymond Wolfe put a pint of water within a pyramid for a week and a control pint outside the pyramid. His assistant filled numbered vials with the resulting water and Wolfe watered groups of sunflower seeds, not knowing which water was which. In every case the seeds watered with the pyramid-charged water grew faster. Patrick Flanagan also verified that seeds germinated more easily and plant growth was accelerated by pyramid power. Seeds kept beneath a pyramid will produce a richer yield, and pulses sprouted with pyramid power are richer in vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Not only do plants grow faster beneath pyramids but they remain free of pests.

Bill Schul and Ed Pettit noted significant difference in the growth rate of plants beneath pyramids and wondered if they would be able to capture it with time-lapse photography. What their photography showed was “plants gyrating in a symphonic dance as though orchestrated by an unseen conductor.” Their first film showed a six-inch-tall sunflower placed in a glass pyramid at the one-third height level. “The plant followed an east-west cyclic movement. It bowed to the east nearly touching the base, swept a semicircle to the south and back to the west and finally straightened to the vertical before starting the dance once more. The movement was repeated every two hours ….” The authors observed this east-west movement for two years, then abruptly the plants started to move instead in a north-south arc, presumably due to some change in the environment or atmosphere.

An aluminum screen placed to the west of the plants would stop the plants’ gyrations, since aluminum blocks a pyramid’s energy field. Similarly, seeds placed on aluminum foil in a pyramid will sprout slowly – but aluminum’s blocking effect is overcome if the foil is left in a pyramid for two weeks or more. Amazingly, the foil then carries its own pyramid energy and it will enhance seed growth and cook food faster.

Jules Green of the Psychical Research Society experimented with flowers. Taking four roses, he placed two under pyramids, one under a cube, and one in the open air. He did the same with four tulips. After a week, the flowers exposed to the air had withered, while the others were still fresh. The roses and tulips in the pyramids, however, had actually grown.

Patrick Flanagan investigated pyramid effects on plants, water, animals and people. He was particularly enthusiastic about the pyramid’s ability to preserve food – foods and beverages stay fresh longer and acquire enhanced flavour. Fruit is preserved indefinitely by dehydration.

The Great Pyramid Company explains how pyramids inhibit natural decay: “Pyramids don’t kill bacteria. However the bacteria feed by absorbing nutrients as entropy breaks the tissues down. In a pyramid there is so little entropy that the bacteria barely survive and don’t multiply prolifically. Food therefore stays fresher longer and has a chance to dehydrate before it goes bad.”

Medicines stay fresh beneath a pyramid for the same reason: destructive energies are deflected and positive energy is enhanced. Pyramid-charged water is energizing and aids digestion; it also helps wounds and skin conditions to heal faster. A small pyramid placed over a wound will likewise speed healing. Polluted water can be in several days beneath a pyramid.

Since a pyramid holds positive energy and deflects negative wavelengths, it will cleanse and empower crystals, and brighten tarnished jewellery. Tarnish can be removed quickly from gold and silver by pyramid-treated water.

Many people report feeling revitalized, with sense-perceptions sharpened, after spending time within a pyramid. As well, some experience an internal tingling, and sometimes a “distant ringing” sound, as the pyramid shape focuses and resonates beneficial sound vibrations.

In The Secret Power of Pyramids, Bill Schul and Ed Pettit report that people spending time sitting beneath pyramids have claimed relief from many ailments. In their chapter on “Healing Powers” they report that healing has occurred rapidly in cases of sprains, cuts, bruises, toothache, backache, strains, congestion, and infections. They mention that people sitting within pyramids sometimes report seeing a blue light, which research has shown to have cooling, healing properties. In Pyramid Power, Max Toth and Greg Nielsen state that people sitting or sleeping near even a model pyramid have reported the alleviation or disappearance of pain or symptoms of illness. Schul and Pettit postulate that the pyramid energy field tends to produce healthier functioning of cells, tissues, and organs. They point out that since the pyramid shape offers a heightened energy field, while a cube inhibits energy, it does not serve us to live in cube-shaped homes.

Not surprisingly, people experience enhanced effects when meditating beneath pyramids. Changes in the meditator’s aura (electromagnetic field) have been noted with Kirlian photography – auras become brighter and larger. Meditators report deeper relaxation, an enhanced sense of well-being, and increased levels of awareness. The positive energy flow in the pyramid facilitates deeper focus.

Patrick Flanagan tested the brain waves of people as a pyramid was lowered over their heads. Their alpha waves became much stronger and meditation became deeper. As well, he found that he required less sleep and felt more rested when sleeping under a pyramid. The Great Pyramid Company, which sells pyramids for meditation and sleep, states that sleeping under, rather than inside, a pyramid is preferable, since “the energy is softer and quieter.”Having a pyramid beneath one’s bed can also have a calming effect.

A pyramid aids meditation because it focuses harmonious energy while deflecting distracting energies:

Distractions are unordered, disharmonic energy. [A] pyramid guards against external interference while helping you corral your own maverick thoughts. The pyramid focuses positive energy within you, which is precisely your goal. As you enter your reflective state the pyramid assists you at every step. Meditation is faster, deeper and more rewarding.

Bill Schul and Ed Pettit researched the effects of meditation inside a pyramid, by asking people to try it for the first time and describe their experiences. The common feelings were of calmness, peace, harmony and relaxation, as well as mild euphoria, feelings of being “charged” with renewed energy, and a sense of detachment from the physical world and everyday concerns. Some experimenters experienced a focus of energy on their heart. One reported: “The first impression was peaceful silence … and I was very aware of my heart. There was a power of some kind going to the heart, or coming from the heart. The entire body seemed to take on a vibration – a tingle…”

People meditating in a pyramid regularly have received strong spiritual and psychic impressions, as well as enhanced dreams and visions, vivid visual imagery, and increased memory recall.

Some writers suggest placing wishes and prayers inside the pyramid to help focus one’s energy on the issues, or facing in the four directions to enhance specific areas of life: For example, one can sit in the pyramid facing east to focus on love, harmony, and peace; west for health; north for material abundance, and south for protection and safety – the principle being that the pyramid energy will help to materialise these desires.

Experiments have shown copper to be the best metal for an open-frame meditation pyramid, due to its natural electronic and bio-enhancing properties, but pyramid structures of cardboard, wood or bamboo are effective too, if built to the same proportional dimensions as the Great Pyramid.

The Great Pyramid enshrined and preserved timeless knowledge which is still challenging us to unlock its secrets today. As well, Edgar Cayce and others have claimed that a Hall of Records lies buried beneath the Great Sphinx, containing records and artefacts from Atlantis and even more ancient civilizations. Suffice to say that there are mysteries still to be revealed on the Giza Plateau. In The Secret Power of Pyramids, Bill Schul and Ed Pettit described the Great Pyramid as “an instrument for human growth.” As we delve into its history and learn more about the ancient wisdom it embodies, we learn more about human capacity and evolution. We are only beginning to understand the vast antiquity of the human race and the advanced scientific and metaphysical knowledge which ancient civilizations possessed, and which the Great Pyramid conveys to us across millennia.

Effects/Experiments With Pyramid/Orgone Energy

The following information is partly from my experiments, and what I have read from The Pyramid Energy Hand Book By Serge V. King, Ph.D, which is no longer in print. My personal experiments are documented else-where. This information should be correct, as the book was very good about keeping the facts straight. All of my experiments thus far remain consistent with the book’s claims, so it should be safe to say the rest is correct.

First of all here are some of the things a pyramid is suppose to do:

Sharpen razor blades
Restore the lustre to tarnished jewellery and coins
Purify water
Mummify and dehydrate meat, eggs and other food stuffs
Help keep milk fresh and prevent souring without refrigeration
Dehydrate flowers without losing their form or colour
Increase the growth rate of plants
Help attain increased relaxation
Improves the taste of coffee, wine and certain fruit juices
Promotes healing of cuts, bruises and burns, as well as reduces pain from toothaches and headaches.

There are several important things to keep in mind when experimenting with Pyramids. First, the object you are treating should NOT exceed 5% of the pyramid’s volume. Other-wise the energy is spread to thin, and not much happens. The exception is when sitting or sleeping under a pyramid. For this, a pyramid with a 6 ft base (or larger) works good.
Second, and this is really critical, the pyramid MUST be aligned to magnetic north to work! The energy is very weak when it is out of alignment, so you want to get it aligned as good as possible. It will still work if it is a little out.
Also if you are using it to boost your plant’s growth you do need to be careful. Just as too much fertilizer is bad for plants, too much orgone is too. Some plants don’t mind it, but others can’t take a lot. If a plant is getting too much it will start to wilt. There are several ways to regulate the energy. The best way to prevent over-dose on plants is to treat water with Pyramids and water them with the pyramid water. You can’t over dose them doing that. Humans can over-dose too. If you have been under a pyramid too long you can start to get a head-ache, if you still stay it becomes nausea and light headed. If you still refuse to leave, it will pass and one feels quite good. So there don’t seem to be any damaging effects (you fingers don’t shrivel up!), but I wouldn’t recommend staying under to long if it causes discomfort.

Experiments with Pyramids
Water Alteration
Water is not “purified” under a pyramid, as the claims say, however it is chemically altered. Water is a polar molecule. The hydrogen bond is what allows this change to occur. The orgone energy produced by the pyramid polarizes, lines up, or somehow alters the hydrogen bond. This alters not only the taste of the water but some of it’s chemical properties as well. Water that is “charged” with pyramid/orgone energy can pass on the energy to other things. Watering plants with pyramid water will help them grow better. Some people drink pyramid water too. If you would like to made lots of pyramid water to drink, put a gallon or less of water under a large frame pyramid (6ft base) and leave it for a hour. Treating small amounts of water under a small or large pyramid, takes only 10 to 15 minutes.

Sharpen razor blades
This sounds really strange, but it’s true. A dull razor blade is impregnated with water molecules. Now a pyramid creates a condition of microwave-dehydration (on non-living things), and removes the water from the steel. The moon cycles can affect results, as the moon cycles affect earth’s magnetic field, and pyramid energy is related to magnetism (that’s why you have to have the pyramid lined up to magnetic north. The blade sharpens best when it is lined up east-west, and the pyramid north-south. The razor is put under the pyramid after each use. A cheap razor that lasts 5 good shaves will last 50 or more. I have heard reports of as high as 250 as well. With the lunar cycles affecting the pyramid, sometimes one will get a poor shave one night. Don’t end the experiment, it will pick up again the next day. Now this is not a totally alien process, it just speeds up natural ones. If you leave a razor for 2 months it will lose the water, and “sharpen” itself. The pyramid does this over night. Pyramids will keep the blade sharp, but I think it takes a long time to sharpen a dull one. Try 2 weeks and see it it helps. It’s best to start with a fresh blade and maintain it. Using good quality razors and pyramids together can help a razor last for many, many uses.

Restore the lustre to tarnished jewellery and coins
Pyramid energy will loosen tarnish off coins and jewellery. Leave the object under the pyramid for several days first. Then the tarnish will rub off very easily. This is likely due to the microwave-dehydration breaking the tarnish’s hold loose.

Mummify and dehydrate meat, eggs and other food stuffs
This is a most interesting effect of pyramid energy, and is due to the microwave dehydration. Meat, and other types of food will dry out quickly under a pyramid. For this type of experiment the samples should be sealed, unless using a frame pyramid. Other-wise the pyramid creating a closed space will affect results. The Egyptians had a very effective way of mummifying their dead, I believe this is how they did it.

Help keep milk fresh and prevent souring without refrigeration
Milk will stay fresh longer under a pyramid without refrigeration. This is because the micro-organisms that make the milk spoil cannot withstand the orgone energy, they don’t like it.

Dehydrate flowers without losing their form or colour
The microwave-dehydration accelerates the drying process of the flowers faster than normal. I would recommend using a large frame pyramid for this, as the enclosure of a solid pyramid might counter act the effect. Also because of the 5% rule.

Increase the growth rate of plants
Orgone energy is good for plants, in moderation. Too much orgone can be harmful to some plants. Some can take more than others. The best way to prevent over-dose in plants is to water them with treated water. You can’t over-dose hardly anything doing this. If a plant begins to wilt it has too much orgone, and needs to be given less.

Help attain increased relaxation
Pyramid energy puts the mind into a alpha-theta state which is one of relaxation. Animals quiet down under pyramids as well.

Improves the taste of coffee, wine and certain fruit juices
Pyramid energy alters the hydrogen bond in water. A general effect is a increase in the “smoothness” of a drink. It takes the sharp “edge” of drinks like coffee. Works well with wine too.

General healing
Promotes healing of cuts, bruises and burns, as well as reduces pain from toothaches and headaches
The title says it all. In general pyramid energy is good for multi-cellular organism. It is harmful to micro-organisms, which is good for killing infections and what not. I have also read that you don’t get colds and the flu if sleeping under a pyramid.

Sleeping/Sitting Under a Pyramid
Sleeping under a small 8″ base pyramid can have some small positive effects. Sleeping under a large pyramid (6ft) has several benefits. First less sleep is needed. Also you will have vivid lucid dreams. Because mirco-organism don’t like orgone you should get sick less. Some people meditate under a pyramid. Pyramid energy puts your mind into a theta-alpha state. This also what causes the lucid dreams, and puts the mind in a creative mood when you are awake. I have heard that some people study under a pyramid for this reason.

Guerrero, Mexico Strong Earthquake

Posted on by

Very Strong earthquake in Guerrero, Mexico – Damage in parts of Guerrero (i.a. Acapulco, San Marcos) – At least 3 injuries

Last update: August 21, 2013 at 3:39 pm by By

Update 15:27 UTC : Huitzuco is another affected town. Three residental buildings and one chuch suffered minor damage there. Another damaged church is in Taxco, where parts of the ceiling fell down. Two nurses in Iguala were injured by falling pieces of ceiling panel, respectively by a collision with a door in their hospital. More people in Guerrero needed medical help for nervous breakdowns.

Update 15:18 UTC : The Good News: No damage was caused in the states of Veracruz and Puebla.

Update 15:05 UTC : Some houses in Hornos Insurgentes, a part of Acapulco, collapsed. One girl was injured there. (Some of the damage in Acapulco might be caused by an M 5.6 aftershock, which occurred a few minutes after the mainshock)
Rockfall was observed in rural areas of Guerrero, blocking some roads.

Update 14:56 UTC : It seems that also Mexico City was slightly affected. Residents reported cracks to walls in some parts of the town and a crack in a classroom. No big damage among it.

Update 14:38 UTC : At least 3 hospitals were damaged, two in Acapulco and one in San Marcos.
Schools and other public buildings in this towns were closed, because some of them were damaged.

Update 14:08 UTC : More damage reports arrive from Acapulco. Some buildings on harbour area of Acapulco suffered heavy damage. Large cracks and collapsed walls are reported. At least 3 school buildins in Acapulco were also damaged.

Update 14:03 UTC : Damage is reported from some parts of Guerrero. Buildings in San Marcos, Atapulco and Chilpancingo suffered cracks by the quake, Civil protection authorities reported.

Update 13:44 UTC : Civil protection in Mexico City and other regions are now looking for potential damage. Helicopters fly about DF, public buildings (schools, etc.) are unter investigation. No damage is reported yet, while people are starting to return to their houses.

Update 13:16 UTC : Earthquake alarms in Mexico City went on when the quake happened, triggering people to come out of their houses, seconds before the seismic waves arrived.
In Acapulco, 55 km southwest of the epicenter, the quake caused disturbances in the telephone connection.

A very strong earthquake occurred in southern Guerrero, Mexico. It was well felt in Mexico City. USGS ShakeMap expects a strong shaking in epicenter region, which will probably cause light to moderate damage to weak buildings

Comets & CME

Posted on by

SUNDIVING COMET AND FULL-HALO CME: A small comet plunged into the sun this morning, and just before it arrived, the sun expelled a magnificent full-halo CME. Click to view a movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO):

In the final frames of the movie, the comet can be seen furiously vaporizing. Indeed, those were the comet’s final frames. It did not emerge again from its flyby of the hot sun. “With a diameter of perhaps a few tens of meters, this comet was clearly far too small to survive the intense bombardment of solar radiation,” comments Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab, who studies sungrazing comets.

The CME (coronal mass ejection) came from an explosion on the farside of the sun. Although the CME and the comet appear to intersect, there was probably no interaction between the two. The comet is in the foreground and the farside CME is behind it.

Occasionally, readers ask if sundiving comets can trigger solar explosions. There’s no known mechanism for comets to spark solar flares. Comets are thought to be too small and fragile to destabilize the sun’s magnetic field. Plus, this comet was still millions of kilometers from the sun when the explosion unfolded.

The comet, R.I.P., was a member of the Kreutz family. Kreutz sungrazers are fragments from the breakup of a single giant comet many centuries ago. They get their name from 19th century German astronomer Heinrich Kreutz, who studied them in detail. Several Kreutz fragments pass by the sun and disintegrate every day. Most, measuring less than a few meters across, are too small to see, but occasionally a bigger fragment like this one attracts attention.

Gregg Braden on Emerging WOrld

Gregg Braden’s Newsletter. . . a portion of his emailed letter. . .

Great Mystery Is Solved

Awakening the power to reshape our world.

Modern science is hot on the trail of solving one of the greatest mysteries of all time. Nearly 70 years of research in an area known as the “new physics” is pointing to a conclusion that we cannot escape.

The discovery: Everything in our world is connected to everything else. That’s the news that changes everything, and which is absolutely shaking the foundations of science, as we know it today. “OK,” you say. “We’ve heard this before. What makes this conclusion so different? What does it really mean to be so connected?” The difference between the new discoveries and what we previously believed is that in the past we were simply told that the connection exists. The new experiments, however, take us one step further.

Dearest Global Family,

Welcome to this new edition of “Bridging Science, Spirituality, and the Real World,” the only official newsletter for Gregg Braden!

Since our last edition I’ve had the opportunity to travel across four continents and speak with hundreds of people from 12 countries regarding the dramatic changes in our world, and what those changes mean in their lives. As different as the countries, people, and languages are from one another, there’s a common theme that came up time and again in the course of our conversations: What can we do to make our lives better while the world is going through so much change? It’s a great question, and the answer leads to the very crux of what my 2013 books, seminars, and media specials are all about.

The Facts
To answer the question we must honestly and truthfully acknowledge two facts that give context and meaning to the world that’s unfolding before our eyes. The facts are:

  1. We live in a time of extremes.
  2. We can no longer separate our everyday lives from the global stage.

It’s these facts that change everything about the way we’ve been led to think of ourselves, our relationship to the world, and the way we solve problems of relationships, finance, health and careers. It’s precisely because our daily lives and world events are so closely linked that we can no longer separate them.

The crises of climate change, for example, extreme weather, failing crops and failing economies translate directly into the cost of the transportation to and from our jobs; the cost of the food at our local market; the interest we pay to the local bank for the loans on our cars, homes and education, and the interest the local bank pays us on our CDs, IRAs and personal savings. The fractured economies of the world translate directly into the stress in our lives at the loss of neighborhood businesses and local jobs; the closing of factories and the loss of the benefits they bring to our local communities. There is no doubt in my mind that such big shifts happening on the world stage pave the way to healthier, safer, happier lives for us all. I am also under no illusion about the amount of change it takes for us to get to that better world.

Our lives are changing in ways that we’re not used to, and the change is happening faster than we’ve been prepared to think about and deal with.

The bottom line

While we certainly cannot solve the problems of the whole world in our living rooms, it’s from our living rooms, offices and classrooms we can choose how we respond to what the world is showing us. The key is that it all comes down to the way we think—about ourselves, our relationship to others, our relationship to the world today and our relationship to the past. It’s through the lens of our thinking that we solve the challenges that cross our doorstep each day.

The Answer

I began this letter with the question “What can we do to make our lives better while the world is going through so much change?” The following is an example of the transformation that’s possible in the answer. In our recent past, we’ve been led to believe that we’re separate from ourselves, separate from Earth, separate from our history and that we solve our problems through competition and conflict. It’s these beliefs that have led us to meet the challenges of our lives through the way we answer, consciously or subconsciously, the following question:

What can I get from the world that exists?

Through new discoveries of today’s best science (Deep Truth, Hay House 2011), we now know that some of the thinking of the past was incorrect, and some the thinking was plain wrong. The new discoveries tell us that through our thoughts, feelings and emotions we are deeply connected with ourselves, interdependent upon the world around us, deeply connected with our past and that Nature is based upon a model of cooperation and mutual aid. These discoveries lead us to change the question. The new question is:

What can I share with the world that’s emerging? 

The way we answer this question is the key to everything. It opens new doors of possibility to the loss of jobs, careers and familiar ways of life in the past. And it gives us a way to embrace the needs of the new world that’s emerging rather than being stuck in an idea of a world that no longer exists.

A perfect example of this change of thinking in real life is the story of Ken, a friend of mine who lives in a rural community in Northern New Mexico. When his business as a home builder collapsed with the housing crisis of 2008, he asked himself the question

“What can I share with the world that’s emerging?”

His answer was to apply the skills he’d developed building homes, which were no longer needed in 2008, to begin building something that was needed then, and continues to be needed today. He began to design and build a unique style of modular greenhouse so people would have a reliable supply of affordable food. Through Ken’s innovative design, his greenhouses can be used indoors or outdoors and will sustain a family, or a community 12 months of the year, regardless of climate and weather. To read Ken’s story click here. It’s stories like Ken’s that translate the theories of what’s possible in our world into real-life examples of transformation in our lives. Enjoy the story and I look forward to seeing you “on the road” in 2013!

With love and deep gratitude,

Gregg Braden

Taos, New Mexico

In addition to proving that we are connected to everything, research now proves that the connection exists because of us—specifically because of our consciousness. Our connectedness gives us the power to stack the deck in our favor when it comes to the way our lives play out. In everything from searching for romance and healing our loved ones, to the fulfillment of our deepest aspirations and the peace of our world, we are an integral part of all that we experience each day. That the discoveries show we can use our connection consciously opens the door to nothing less than our opportunity to tap the same power that drives the entire universe.

Through the connection that lives inside of you, me, and every human that walks the earth we have a direct line to the same force that creates everything from atoms and stars to the DNA of life! Read more »

Our ultimate fate will be the outcome of all the major crises of our time if they are left unchecked. These crises include: an unsustainable world population; climate change; growing shortages of food and fresh water; the widening gap between poverty and wealth, health and disease, and illiteracy and education, and the growing threat of war.

We know these problems exist. We’ve already applied the best minds of our time, and the best science based upon the best theories available, to study these problems. But if we were on the right track with our thinking, doesn’t it make sense that we would have more answers and better solutions by now? The fact that we don’t tells us we need to think differently.

I believe there are six deep truths (and the facts they reveal) that will radically change the way we’ve been led to think about our world and ourselves in the past. Let’s explore what they mean. Talk them over with the important people in your life; and discover if, and how, they may change the story that is shared in your family and across our world.

Deep Truth 5

A growing body of scientific data from multiple disciplines, gathered using new technology, provides evidence beyond any reasonable doubt that humankind reflects a design put into place at once, rather than a life-form emerging randomly through an evolutionary process over a long period of time.

Atlantis, Lemuria, Maldek

Atlantis, Lemuria & Maldek

The asteroid belt is all that remains of the planet Maldek

The asteroid belt is all that remains of the planet Maldek

The account below has been adapted for this website from the Introduction to The Nine Freedoms by Dr. George King.

Maldek

Hundreds of thousands of years ago there was another planet in this Solar System, about the size of Earth, which made its orbit between Mars and Jupiter. It was a green prosperous world inhabited by a people who had not reached a state of really advanced culture, but had nevertheless attained a stage which afforded an abundance of necessities which made life comparatively comfortable for all.

They studied the philosophies and dabbled in the sciences as do we, except that these people were more advanced in many ways than we are. The planet was so highly mechanized that robots took care of all the menial tasks. The inhabitants had discovered a rudimentary form of space travel, and could control their weather so that drought and famine became long forgotten. The majority, having an abundance of food, and having no menial tasks to perform, soon became content to while away their time in the sun. They became, in comparison with higher planetary cultures, a selfish, lackadaisical people seeking after their own enjoyment, as do the majority of people on Earth today.

Then the disease came.

It probably started subtly in the minds of those few men of science who shunned the procrastinating majority, in a fervent search for material conquest, thus leaving themselves open to the incurable affliction.

The mental disease manifested itself as a lust for greater power.

They found it!

They exploded a hydrogen bomb and completely destroyed the planet Maldek and murdered the whole populace in one blinding flash of searing flame. All that is now left of that beautiful planet is the asteroid belt.

The people who inhabited Maldek were suddenly released onto their different etheric planes. According to the perfect law of karma, these people had to reincarnate again, under strict limitation, upon another planet in the Solar System. The Earth was approached.

The Gods made an appeal to the Earth as an intelligence, asking if she would be willing to take compassion upon the killers of Maldek and agree to their reincarnation upon her back. In her great merciful compassion, she agreed, thereby accepting thousands of years of limitation so that these lesser life forms could gain essential experience. The Gods then approached the true inhabitants of Earth, a highly cultured race of individuals called – Adamic man, who also agreed to cooperate with the coming to Earth of the people from Maldek.

Gradually those too lazy to stop the shocking cosmic crime of the destruction of Maldek and those who had actually brought it about, were reincarnated upon Earth. Adamic man stayed for a time giving instruction, guidance and help – and then, in accordance with Divine law, left the new inhabitants of Earth to their own devices.

Lemuria

Out of the gross limitation of atomic mutation the civilization of Lemuria (also known as Mu) dragged its weary self. The Earth became somewhat similar to what Maldek had been. The people began to probe the philosophies and the sciences again, and the Lemurian civilization flourished.

At its peak, it was a civilization of much finer culture than we know on Earth today. The Lemurians established a liaison between themselves and advanced intelligences from other planets, who taught them a great deal.

But alas, the disease struck again.

Lemuria was split into two camps: good and evil, the later camp again probing the atom. For the second time, the forces within God’s tiny building blocks were unleashed – and the civilization of Lemuria was destroyed.

Atlantis

Again those left were born through gross limitation on and off a world seething with radioactive poisoning until, eventually, after thousands of years, another semblance of culture came into being, and, slowly at first, then later gaining momentum, the civilization of Atlantis flourished upon Earth. Again space travel was established. Again some listened to the voice of wisdom coming from higher sources, and there was a split into three definite camps. The few, searching for a force to give them conquest over the whole Solar System, the majority not caring much, because they were content to live in their procrastinations, and the other few, who had proved themselves ready for the higher teachings and possessed the logic and faith to accept the voice of higher authority.

Again the minds of the sadistic minority invented atomic weaponry.

As had happened at the time of the fall of Lemuria, those who were ready for evacuation just prior to the devastation that was to follow, were taken off the Earth by the Gods from space. Meanwhile, those beset with greed and lust for material supremacy, warred with each other. As neither side could win such an atomic war – down fell the civilization of Atlantis into charred radioactive ruins.

Today, again the forces of the atom have been unleashed. Again the world is divided against itself.

Let us not make the same mistake a fourth time!

* * *

It should also be noted that after the destruction of Lemuria, the Gods saw fit to place a barrier around the Earth called by some “the ring-pass-not”. In scientific terms this barrier is called “the ionosphere”. After the destruction of Atlantis, the ionosphere was greatly intensified. This intensification tended to cut man off from the higher forms of inspiration, making advancement so much more difficult. This move had to be brought about according to karmic law.

This is a very brief history of why we are here upon Earth and why we are at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder in this Solar System. No other people in the Solar System have committed the worst possible crime, namely that of murdering a planetary intelligence.

Although we stand today in a position similar to that before Maldek was destroyed, there is one major difference between the two situations and that is this: the Supreme Lords of Karma have now declared, that under no account will the planet Earth herself be destroyed.

SFDA Allows Chemicals in Food Despite Lack of Toxicity Testing

Jennifer Sass

Posted August 14, 2013 in Health and the Environment, U.S. Law and Policy

Chemicals are added to food to preserve, flavor, thicken, or otherwise alter it in some desirable way. Used this way, the chemicals are called ‘food additives’. In other contexts the same chemicals may be considered industrial chemicals or pesticides.

For example, sulfites were banned by FDA in 1986 for use on fruits and vegetables that are eaten raw, but are still allowed as a preservative in cooked and processed foods, and they occur naturally in wines and beers. They are also approved by EPA as pesticides, to prevent fungus and preserve grape crops. When eaten in foods, they induce allergy-like reactions in many people (FDA estimates that 1 in 100 people are sensitive to sulfites in food). When FDA approved their use as a food additive in the 1970s, sulfites were deemed to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) and exempted from FDA premarket approval requirements.

In 1974, the FDA allowed asbestos-contaminated salt produced by one company, United Salt in Houston, to be sold as table salt, as GRAS. FDA had even received comments from the trade group Salt Institute that it had looked at this type of salt – called diaphragm salt – and seen asbestos fibers by optical microscopy. Only in response to public outrage did FDA do a proper analysis of the salt at outside labs, using the more powerful electron microscopy, whereupon tens of millions of asbestos fibers per gram was found and FDA revoked its approval.

The black box of FDA food regulations came under the spot light when technical experts at The Pew Charitable Trusts started working to answer these questions and others about how chemicals in our food are regulated.

Today, Pew released a report in the scientific journal Reproductive Toxicology reporting that less than 38% of over 8,000 FDA-regulated additives (including those added directly to food intentionally, and food contact materials that may contaminate foods) have a published feeding study. (Feeding studies comprise the basic toxicology test – the first test a scientist would do to evaluate the safety of a chemical additive.) For the direct additives (added intentionally to the food) only 21.6% (out of almost 4,000) have the feeding studies necessary to estimate a safe level of exposure, and only 6.7% have reproductive or developmental toxicity data in FDA’s database.

It appears FDA and companies were often making safety decisions by comparing one chemical to another rather than doing an actual toxicology study.  They were building a house of cards based on assumptions and unsupported extrapolations instead of direct scientific evidence.

How did our food regulations go so terribly wrong? The Pew team has a few insights:

Once a chemical use is cleared to be added to the food supply, it is seldom re-assessed for ongoing safety. So, the manufacturer has no incentive to support additional toxicity testing. And the FDA doesn’t have the authority to require testing if it has questions about a chemical.

GRAS determinations are permitted to be made by the chemical manufacturer, not FDA (unless the additive affects food color). If the additive is self-determined to be GRAS by the company, then it can choose whether or not to alert the FDA about the new food additive. In other words, even reporting GRAS additives to FDA is voluntary. Had the company selling the asbestos-contaminated table salt opted not to notify FDA, it may have stayed on the market.

In fact, the Pew team believes that about one thousand food additives are in the food supply without FDA’s knowledge. An example is the 2010 debacle with caffeine-alcohol drinks marketed for young people without informing the FDA. The manufacturer had considered the additives to be GRAS, until alcoholic poisonings and blackouts resulted in public outrage and Congressional scrutiny.

A 2010 report by the US Government Accountability Office (GAO), providing Congressional oversight, called the whole messed-up GRAS process into question when it learned that engineered nanomaterials were being deemed GRAS food additives. GAO concluded that, “FDA does not know to what extent, or even whether, companies track evolving scientific information about their GRAS substances. FDA’s approach to regulating nanotechnology allows engineered nanomaterials to enter the food supply as GRAS substances without FDA’s knowledge.” It is disturbing that nanomaterials are deemed to be GRAS food additives, when the legal definition of GRAS is that there is, “a reasonably certainty in the minds of competent scientists that the substance is not harmful under the intended conditions of use”, and there is no scientific consensus on how to even test the toxicity or safety of nanomaterials.

Last week, the Pew team published a report in The Journal of the American Medical Association Internal Medicine showing that “financial conflicts of interest are ubiquitous” in the process leading to determining that a chemical is GRAS. Considering the lack of toxicity data for thousands of chemicals (many of which are designated as GRAS) allowed in food, one wonders 1) who made the decision that they were safe and 2) whether their judgment was influenced by the manufacturer.

A commentary by Dr. Marion Nestle highlights the obvious conflicts of interest as one of the biggest problems with chemical food additive regulations (or lack thereof). She emphasizes the fact that Pew reported that all – that’s 100% – of the members of the expert panels that review food additives to make GRAS determinations have financial relationships with companies that manufacture the food additives being reviewed. Follow the money! (An editorial today in the prestigious journal Nature discusses the Pew study and highlights the problems of financial conflicts)

I’ve extensively documented the problem of chemical manufacturers testing the safety of their own products. It isn’t rocket science to think that a bias and a financial conflict may lead to a misrepresentation of the potential toxicity of a chemical. But, when those chemicals are intentionally added to the food supply, well, things just got a lot more serious!

This past spring, NRDC officially requested a copy of the FDA database of food additives that includes both the names of the chemicals and the basis for the FDA’s approving them for use in food. FDA failed to respond, so we had to file a lawsuit against FDA for this public information. What is FDA hiding from the public? Thanks to the Pew team, the public is starting to learn about failures in the food additives regulatory process.
