Activating Your Pineal Gland
Activating Your Pineal Gland

Last updated on September 3, 2013 at 12:00 am EDT by in5d Alternative News

 

by Eden Shetiyah

Having trouble meditating, or remembering your dreams, or just feeling lost and disconnected from the Source? The problem may be a blocked (or calcified) pineal gland.

The pineal gland, referred to as the Third Eye, the Eye of Horus or the Seat of the Soul, is a small pine cone shaped organ inside your brain that secretes hormones like melatonin, serotonin and DMT (Dimethyltryptamine), also known as the Spirit Molecule.

Melatonin and serotonin are responsible for sleep or meditative states, and emotional states of well-being, bliss and euphoria. DMT effects range from time dilation, time travel, journeys to paranormal realms to encounters with spiritual beings from other dimensions.

On the energy level, the pineal gland is the physical manifestation of the 6th Chakra – Ajna, associated with true mystic potential, perception of non-physical reality and spiritual wisdom.

Because of its pine cone shape, the pineal gland is often symbolized by a pine cone.

In fact, many religions and mystical traditions around the world reference the pineal gland through the pine Activating Your Pineal Gland | In5D.comcone symbolism: the staff of the Egyptian god Osiris has two intertwining cobras meeting at the pine cone (Kundalini energy rising up to the Third Eye), the Pope’s staff also features a cone, sacred ruins of Angkor Wat in Cambodia are also pine cone shaped, and numerous other examples.

What causes the blockage of the pineal gland?

This organ is your spiritual vision apparatus, your bridge between two worlds – physical and metaphysical. It allows you to have mystical and lucid dream experiences that are essential to your spiritual evolution. They are the messages from the Soul, and the pineal gland is the antenna designed to receive them.

Yet most people’s pineal gland is shut down by the time they’re 12 years old. You probably noticed it yourself – kids are all intuitive and spiritual by nature, but we loose these abilities when we grow up. Why?

The problem is the calcification of the pineal gland. This gland actually has a water-filled interior, which means that it calcifies with age, and for other reasons. What specifically causes the calcification?

• Fluoride in toothpaste and in water
• processed “junk” food
• soda and other carbonated beverages
• refined sugars, fats, flour
• limiting beliefs
• lack of spiritual practice

Step 1: Say Bye-Bye To Fluoride

Fluoride is the greatest enemy of your pineal gland! It’s harmless in very small quantities – in fact, it occurs naturally in water. However, fluoride in our tap water and toothpaste is not at all a naturally occurring fluoride, and the amounts of it far exceed the safety limits.

The pineal gland accumulates fluoride, so it has the highest concentration of fluoride in the human body, and that is the primary cause of the pineal gland calcification.

Activating Your Pineal Gland | In5D.com

70 percent of US water supply is fluoridated. We’ve been told that fluoride is safe and that it prevents tooth decay, but it’s a lie. Research shows that there is no difference between fluoride-using and no fluoride-using countries. And as for safety…each year over 20,000 calls are made to Poison Control Centers in the U.S. due to acute fluoride toxicity from ingesting toothpaste. This is why a warning is required on all fluoride toothpaste tubes to avoid accidental swallowing: it’s a known poison. In fact, until recently fluoride was an active ingredient in rat poison.

I’m not going to go into the reasons why the US government (and some other countries) in its infinite wisdom decided to put fluoride in our water, food and toothpaste – make your own conclusions.

But whether or not you believe it, the fact is: fluoride is poisonous, and it shuts down our most important spiritual organ. If you’re interested, the documentary “DMT: The Spirit Molecule” explains why people having spiritual experiences might not be good for the ruling class.

So the number one thing you can do to activate your pineal gland is reduce your intake of fluoride.

• Use only natural no-fluoride toothpaste and decline fluoride gel treatments at the dentist

• Drink purified or filtered water, and keep in mind that bottled water can also be fluoridated

• Eat fresh organic food – the more processed the food is, the more fluoride it contains

• Avoid processed beverages like sodas, juice drinks, instant and bottled teas, sports drinks

• Avoid cooking with non-stick pans, they increase the fluoride content of food

• Drink organic wine. Wine (particularly red wine) is proven to be good for you in moderation, but because of heavy use of fluoride pesticides on vineyards in the United States, wines that are made from U.S.-grown grapes are the main source of fluoride

• Avoid any kind of processed meat (e.g., chicken fingers, chicken nuggets) – a mechanical de-boning process contaminates the meat with higher levels of fluoride-laden bone particles

• Drink teas that are made from young leaves (e.g., “White tea”) or yerba matte – a herbal tea from South America

• A lot of fluoride is absorbed through the skin when taking a shower or a bath. I know some people like taking a long shower or a nice long relaxing bath, in which case I recommend installing a fluoride filter in your bathroom. Otherwise, try rinsing your body and turning the faucet off, then lathering up, and then rinsing the soap off at the end. This way you’re conserving the water and minimizing your fluoride absorption.

• Avoid calcium supplementation as it is not absorbed into the bones and just ends up clogging your organs, including the pineal gland.

Step 2: Take Out The Trash

Cleansing is another important step in activating your pineal gland. This is to remove fluoride that’s already accumulated in your body over the years.

•Tamarind fruit or paste. I attended a spiritual retreat not long ago, and I heard someone saying that tamarind paste is the best way to decalcify the pineal gland. So when I came back, I researched it. Turns out, it’s true. Recent studies show that tamarind is highly effective in removing body fluoride through excretion of urine, and even in mobilizing deposited fluoride from bone.

•Borax (boron) supplement is another known antidote to fluoride. A teaspoon of borax in one liter of water can be taken in small quantities throughout the day.

•Liver cleanses are crucial to our physical and spiritual well being. A good liver cleanse can remove heavy metals and numerous toxins from our body, including fluoride. The one I recommend is a coffee enema or a coffee colonic. Of course, those should be done only after cleansing your colon, otherwise the toxins will get stuck, and then re-absorbed into the blood.

•Sauna or a sweat lodge ceremony are great for removing fluoride and other toxins from the skin as it’s excreted in the sweat. Wipe your body of the sweat often to prevent re-absorption and drink lots of water. Hydration is crucial if you consider this method!

Step 3: Spiritual Practice

The third step in activating your pineal gland is spiritual practice. Some argue that this is the most crucial step.

While it’s important to change your diet and maintain a healthy body, nothing substitutes a daily spiritual practice that allows for the healing to occur naturally, trains the mind to be still, and prepares you to experience higher states of consciousness.

Activating Your Pineal Gland | In5D.com

•Meditate, Meditate, Meditate. There’s a number of meditations you can practice to target your pineal gland, for example, meditating with the word “Love”. Sit with your back straight, your eyes closed and your tongue between your teeth. Gently bite the tip of your tongue. Vibrate the word “love” through your teeth as you purse your lips.

•Breathing through your Third Eye is another technique you can employ to activate your pineal gland. Breathe in the brilliant silver light through your Third Eye, hold it, then visualize it surrounding your pineal gland. See it vibrating with that silver light, see that calcified shell breaking and deteriorating, see your pineal gland shine as luminous light is breaking through the barrier of calcium. Practice for about 15-20 minutes a day.

•Simply placing your awareness in your Third Eye is effective in stimulating the pineal. When you do it, you’ll notice a feeling of slight pressure in your forehead area, which is a good sign. Just hold your attention there and be mindful of your body and mind.

•The pineal gland can also be activated by Kundalini yoga which works with your Kundalini energy symbolized by the serpent. Kundalini can rise from the root chakra at the base of your spine all the way to the crown chakra and beyond. The idea behind Kundalini yoga and meditation is to create a gradual energy buildup that would activate your chakras one by one naturally.

•You can utilize gemstones and crystals. Gems that work with the Third Eye chakra are deep blue stones like lapis lazuli, sapphire or sodalite. Communicate with the stone. Ask it to help you awaken and heal your pineal gland. You can hold the stone during a meditation or place it on your forehead to increase the effect.

And the Drought Goes On

Drought Tortures Half of U.S.

Sep 6, 2013 08:18 AM ET // by Tim Wall

The catastrophic drought of 2012 lingered on in some parts of the United States, while other areas of the country have slipped back into dry conditions recently. U.S. Drought Monitor statistics released recently show that approximately half of the contiguous U.S. now suffers some degree of drought.

Multi-year drought tortures the western half of the United States especially in portions of Texas, western Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, California and the Four Corners states, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor’s most recent maps. These ongoing dry conditions contributed to the wildfires that devoured forests and homes in the western United States this year.

However there has been some improvement. Less of the western United States suffers under “exceptional” and “extreme” drought category conditions than at the start of this year. In January, The National Drought Mitigation Center classified 6.75 percent of the Lower 48 as an “exceptional” drought and 21.31 percent as “extreme.” Those statistics have dropped to 1.25 percent and 9.86 percent, respectively.

ANALYIS: 2013 Already a Drought Disaster

The Midwest and southern Mississippi River Valley escaped from the drought after a wet winter. Though recently, dry conditions have returned to the Midwest. A streak of high temperatures and little rain caused a “flash drought” in the corn-growing region.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that approximately 45 percent of the nation’s prime corn growing region have dipped into drought as the harvest season approaches.

NEWS: Record Drought Hits New Zealand’s North Island

2013 has been a year of contrasts for corn growing communities. For example, Burlington, Iowa had its wettest spring on record since 1898, but also its driest summer in that same time period.

Times certainly are a-changing, and you will really get a sense of this today.  Things are not going to make much sense. There will be those who seem to be completely out of touch and then there will be those who are so needy that you just want to get away .  The best thing to do is to remain centered in your core and to see things with the eyes of the heart.  There is true knowing there and it can make you understand what it is that is going on in people and animals around you which is making them look to you for some kind of a center or a support.  This is a time to go within and acknowledge your own power and your own effect upon those around you.  You are truly making a difference for them, and in this shifting and changing energy, they are looking to you for some acknowledgement.

Reasons NOT to Attack Syria

11 Reasons Why We Should Not Attack Syria

Remember the last time we were told military strikes were needed because a Middle Eastern despot had used weapons of mass destruction?

As U.S. political and media leaders prepare for military strikes against Syria, the parallels to the lead-up to the war with Iraq should give us pause. Weapons of mass destruction, we are told, are being used by a cruel Middle Eastern despot against his own people. A military strike is inevitable, media voices say; we must respond with missiles and bombs. The arguments sound all too familiar.

U.S. intervention would play into the hands of the Syrian regime, triggering an outpouring of nationalist support for Damascus.

Meanwhile, weapons inspectors from the United Nations are on the ground investigating evidence of chemical weapons. But U.S. and European leaders are looking at an immediate strike anyway—although Britain’s Labor Party, still smarting from popular opposition to its leading role in the invasion of Iraq, has successfully pressed for a hold on military action until the results of the U.N. investigation are in.

There are a great many differences between circumstances in Syria and Iraq, of course. Nonetheless, critics warn that, much as it did in Iraq, a military incursion here could have disastrous consequences. Here are 11 reasons the United States should stay clear of military action:

1. We don’t actually know who is behind the chemical weapons attack. An attack employing chemical weapons took place in the suburbs of Damascus on August 21 and killed 355 people, according to Doctors Without Borders. Obama administration officials say the attack was carried out by the Syrian regime, but Institute for Policy Studies analyst Phyllis Bennis points out we haven’t actually been given evidence that this is the case. And, while it’s unlikely that the opposition was behind the attack, NPR has pointed out that the rebels have an incentive to use such weapons to trigger outside intervention and end the stalemate they’ve been stuck in since late 2011.

2. A military strike would be illegal under the U.S. Constitution and the War Powers Resolution. U.S. military attacks can only be carried out by an act of Congress, unless there is a national emergency created by a direct attack upon the United States. The fact that Congress has adjourned doesn’t change that. “There is no provision in the Constitution or the War Powers Resolution for a ‘recess war,'” says Robert Naiman, writer for Just Foreign Policy. If it was a true emergency, Congress could be called into session to pass a declaration of war.

3. It would violate international law, too. Syria has not attacked the United States, and there is no U.N. Security Council authorization for a strike on Syria. It wouldn’t be the first time the United States has violated international law, but doing it again adds to a damaging precedent and contributes to a lawless world.

4. The American people oppose it. Sixty percent of Americans oppose intervention in Syria, according to a recent Reuters poll. Just nine percent support intervention. Even if the use of chemical weapons is proven, just 25 percent of Americans would support intervention.

5. Violence begets violence. According to Stephen Zunes, chair of Middle Eastern Studies at the University of San Francisco, military interventions actually worsen and lengthen violence in the short term. “Countries whose dictatorships are overthrown by armed groups … are far more likely to turn into new dictatorships, often accompanied by ongoing violence and factionalism,” Zunes says in an article in Foreign Policy in Focus. In the long term, he writes, interventions only reduce violence if they are impartial, which would certainly not be the case in any upcoming conflict in Syria.

6. Foreign intervention will deepen nationalist support for the Syrian Baath Party and the Assad regime. Zunes also reports that hundreds of members of the Syrian Baath Party, a key source of support for Assad, have left the party in outrage over the regime’s killing of nonviolent protesters. But, he says, “few defections could be expected if foreigners suddenly attacked the country.” U.S. intervention would play into the hands of the Syrian regime, triggering an outpouring of nationalist support for Damascus. The same thing happened in 1983-84 following U.S. Navy air attacks on Syrian positions in Lebanon, he says, and in 2008 after U.S. army commando raids in eastern Syria.

Syria has become a venue for a war between the United States and Russia, and between Iran and an allied U.S. and Israel.

7. There are no logical targets. Bombing stockpiles of chemical weapons would be untenable, since many would release poison gases into densely populated neighborhoods, according to Zunes. And there are too many ways of delivering chemical weapons—planes, missiles, mortars, and so on—to eliminate all of them.

8. It will be impossible to control who benefits from Western intervention among the rebels. The Pentagon estimates that there are between 800 and 1,200 rebel groups currently active in Syria, according to USA Today. Among them are ones with avowed affiliations with Al Qaeda, Jabhat al-Nusra, and other groups the United States considers to be terrorists. While the House Intelligence Committee has said it’s ready to accept the risk of providing weapons to such groups, a look at Iraq and Afghanistan shows how such plans can easily unravel.

9. Civilians will be killed and maimed. Policy analyst Phyllis Bennis points out the obvious: Strike with bombs and missiles, and, whatever your intent, civilians with no involvement in the conflict—including children and the elderly—will be harmed.

10. There is no apparent exit strategy. Once we are involved, it is unclear how we will extract ourselves from a massive, ugly civil conflict that could spread to involve nearby countries such as Lebanon, Israel, and Iran.

11. Yes, there is a better way. Tried, true, and boring though it may be, diplomacy often works. As Bennis told Democracy Now! this week, Syria has become a venue for a war between the United States and Russia, and between Iran and an allied United States and Israel.

What’s needed, she says, are peace talks involving not only the parties who are fighting, but their backers as well. We need “all the forces on the two sides coming together to talk,” she says, “rather than fighting to the last Syrian child, to resolve these wars.”

Herkimer Diamond Effects

Posted on by
Herkimer Diamonds

Herkimer Diamonds

Story by: Cal Garrison

“Looking into a Herkimer Diamond is like diving into a field of pure white, water clear light. As your consciousness merges with that field it feels as if the light formed into a crystal out of love, just so that you could hold it and be reminded of your own light. Swimming around, immersed in those frequencies, something shifts and you become aware of a much higher form of energy. Without really doing anything you tune in to your self on a much deeper level.”

When it comes to crystals, Herkimer Diamonds are definitely in a class by them selves. Any one with eyes can see that there is something extraordinary about these double-terminated clear quartz hexagons. Their shape alone distinguishes them. And the quality of light they refract is so unusual it looks like a blend of light and water. More brilliant and energetically superior to clear rock crystal, but not perfect or hard enough to compete with real diamonds, ‘Herks’ fall somewhere between the two and occupy a vibrational world of their own.

The theories around how Herkimer Diamonds came to be formed vary. Geologists believe they developed under intense heat and pressure, in sedimentary rock, about 400 to 500 million years ago. This is the standard take on the subject and it coincides with what we’ve been taught but what we know about the history of this planet, including its geological history, is based on incomplete data, and well monitored by larger forces who thrive on keeping the facts hidden. While this particular theory may have something to it, it’s only a theory and by definition, still open to question.

Two years ago, while perusing of a shelf full of crystal books, I randomly opened one up to a section that talked in detail about Herkimers. Circumstances didn’t allow me to buy the book or check the title and it’s a shame because the information in that book was quite different than anything else I had read.

Not falling in line with the standard theory, this writer put forth the notion that Herkimer Diamonds are in fact, shards of the big Atlantean crystal that got blasted to smithereens when Atlantis fell. Blown sky high in a volcanic explosion, he went on to say that those fragments of crystal got carried in flaming balls of hot lava all the way to what is now, Herkimer County, New York. The heat from the lava acted on the broken shards in such a way that the Silicon Dioxide liquefied and reformed into Herkimers as the molten rock cooled.

I don’t accept this theory as gospel but I have to admit I am partial to it because it certainly explains why Herkimer Diamonds have such extraordinary qualities. With a long list of attributes that make them valuable to anyone who uses crystals in conjunction with their spiritual work, ‘Herks’ are reputed to induce joy, inspire independence, improve every type of relationship, make it easier to access the higher spiritual realms, and enhance everything that happens in the dream state. If you take the time to experiment, what you discover about these unique crystals will show you exactly why these properties have been attached to them.

Most of the people who collect Herkimer Diamonds place more value on the clear ones. There’s a lot to be said for clarity. Life in this dimension is so unclear, crystalline perfection reminds us of what we could be and offers some proof that that level of attainment actually exists. Flawless ‘Herks’ embody something God-like and they are precious because they reveal to us what we long for and have yet to identify within our selves.

When I began working with Herkimer’s the clear ones drew me in at first but in the process of mining for them and handling them, I became more attracted to the so-called ‘flawed’ specimens without knowing why. It later occurred to me that if the clear ‘Herks’ gave me glimpses of perfection, the included crystals showed me how much I need to work on before I reach that state. Every mirror and internal fracture seemed to provide me with information about my own flaws and revealed so much about what lies hidden in me, each crystal became a teacher of sorts and all I had to do was hold one to download the lesson.

I can tell you that their capacity to “induce joy” is immediate. This may seem like a small thing but, as Abraham says, “Joy is the main point of attraction” for everything in Creation. Anything that induces joy is priceless. This feeling is the first thing you become aware of when you start playing around with ‘Herks’- try jumping into one and you’ll see what I am talking about. These crystals not only hold the Joy frequency, they willingly offer it up just so that we can that tune our selves to that vibration.

If Herkimer Diamonds “inspire independence” it is because they embody it. Unlike other crystals, each one of them is formed free of any matrix. They are born whole and complete, within themselves. This state of absolute independence appears to contradict their ability to “improve every type of relationship” but we can’t be one with anything until we are one within ourselves. Seen in that light, what seems contradictory becomes more of a paradox, because ‘Herks’ hold space for the desire to stand alone as readily as they enhance the desire to be one with other. Creating a sense of attunement and harmony within any kind of relationship, whether it be the one we have with God, with ourselves, with our significant other, with life and our fellow man, or with the people who come to us for healing, is important right now and that’s what these little super heroes do better than any other crystal formation.

The reason Herkimer Diamonds “make it easier to access the higher spiritual realms” is because their connective properties reinforce and remind us of the relationship we have to our higher aspect. By strengthening the desire to go within they present the opportunity to get closer to our own Source. That yearning for oneness is the key to how deep our meditations take us on any given day and anything that stimulates the ability to keep the focus where it counts becomes a very useful growth tool.

As far as “enhancing everything that happens in the dream state” goes, this is where Herkimer Diamonds really shine. Try sleeping with a ‘Herk’ and see how your ability to remember your dreams improves and then see if you notice a change in the quality and content of your night visions. This may seem like a small thing but it is virtually impossible to have a complete understanding of your self if you ignore the imagery that floats to the surface when your consciousness is in the dream state. These stones not only bring all of that imagery into focus, they seem to make every dream more meaningful. As we learn more about the part our dreams play in our spiritual unfoldment the Herkimer Diamond’s role as a ‘Dream Stone’ will make them indispensable to anyone who wishes to understand the true ‘Power of Dreaming’.

No crystal collection is complete without at least one Herkimer Diamond. And if you only own one crystal, a ‘Herk’ would be the best choice because these beauties do it all and they do it perfectly. A cut above any other crystal formation they even give ‘Vogel’s’ a run for their money! If clear quartz holds light, ‘Herks’ hold it in a more concentrated form and their superior connective properties make it possible to merge with that light and bring it home, to the heart, for safekeeping.

The best source for Herkimer Diamonds is The Ace of Diamonds Mine in Herkimer County, New York. There are many other mines in the vicinity, but the ‘Ace’ is the best. If you’re traveling to that area, don’t miss the opportunity to treat your self to a day of digging. It’s hard work, but for a twenty dollar entry fee you stand a chance of getting lucky and hitting a pocket full of crystals. Small ‘Herks’ the size of a cherry stone are worth $25 on the open market, and after a rain, these can be found right on the ground, if you keep your eyes pealed. Those of you who aren’t up for breaking rocks in the hot sun can check out the diamonds, and all the other crystals and books that are sold in the gift store at the mine.

Upcoming TED Talks Topics

The top twelve TED talks coming soon from Obama, Merck, Kim Jong-Un, Tyson Foods and other leaders in humanitarian thinking (satire)

 

Thursday, September 05, 2013
by Mike Adams, the Health Range

(NaturalNews) You may have heard by now that the much-ballyhooed “TED” group is censoring scientists who discuss consciousness. The idea that you are a conscious being with free will is apparently just too much for the TED organization to stomach. They prefer to be stuck in the materialism view of reality that took hold in the late 1800’s and still dominates so-called “scientific” thinking today.

That “flat Earth” view of modern science includes delusional ideas like the body is a biological battleground that should be carpet-bombed with chemicals to restore health (the pharma “science” view), no animals have consciousness of any kind, all humans are “biological robots” with no free will and are therefore not responsible for their own actions (“victimization” science), nothing exists beyond what we can see or detect with instruments — there is no spirit, no “mind,” no connection between anything, and the universe is not holistic in any way whatsoever, etc.

With all this in mind (ha!), I’d like to share TED’s next twelve talks to be released to the public. I received this super-secret list from a super-secret TED insider who, just like TED’s “science advisory board,” doesn’t want his name made public for fear of being asked to explain himself.

So here’s the list of the top 12 future TED talks coming soon:

Top 12 upcoming TED talks

1. Why GMOs are so good for the planet (and how to raise the IQs of children by adding glyphosate to sugary breakfast cereals). Talk by Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant.

2. Trust your government. Why the centralization of power is good for humanity. Talk by Kim Jong-Un, dictator of North Korea, where TED’s science advisory board resides.

3. Why all children need to be put on psychiatric drugs to make them happier. Talk by Merck scientists.

4. Animal abuse is okay because animals don’t have awareness. Talk by the president of Tyson Foods, Inc.

5. War is peace. Talk by Barack Obama, with a special introduction by John Kerry called, “Violence is compassion when committed by a Nobel Peace Prize winner.”

6. How chemical additives in foods make children smarter and more successful. Talk by the Grocery Manufacturers of America president Pamela G. Bailey.

7. How the surveillance state protects your freedom (and why government needs to read your emails). Talk by U.S. Gen. Keith Alexander.

8. Keeping the lower class impoverished is good for society. Talk by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke.

9. Why mercury in vaccines is good for children: Mercury as an “essential nutrient.” Talk by former head of the CDC (now V.P. of global vaccines for Merck) Dr. Julie Gerberding.

10. Why toxic chemicals in the environment are good for you and your children. Talk by American Chemistry Counsel president Cal Dooley.

11. Monoculture feeds the world. Why pesticides, herbicides and glyphosate will save humanity and make everyone smile. Talk by Dr. Henry Miller, with a free pack of genetically modified seeds for all attendees.

12. Why the suppression of free energy technology is good for humanity: The joys of fossil fuels. Talk by British Petroleum director Bob Dudley.

Don’t miss these exciting talks by our world’s thought leaders as filtered through the TED censorship machine! These are, after all, ideas with spreading, sort of like Human Papillomavirus making the rounds at a college fraternity…

Courts On MMR-Autism Link

Breaking: Courts discreetly confirm MMR vaccine causes autism

Tuesday, September 03, 2013 by: Jonathan Benson, staff writer

NaturalNews) You won’t hear anything about it from the mainstream media, but the federal government’s kangaroo “vaccine court” has once again conceded, albeit quietly, that the combination measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine does, indeed, cause autism. In a recently published ruling, part of which was censored from public view, a young boy was awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars after it was determined that the MMR vaccine led to a confirmed diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Ten-year-old Ryan Mojabi’s parents say he first suffered an encephalopathy after being vaccinated for MMR on December 19, 2003. Known as a “table injury,” encephalopathy is a recognized, compensable adverse reaction to vaccines, and one that the kangaroo vaccine court has previously linked to vaccines. According to Ryan’s parents, the MMR vaccine caused their son’s encephalopathy, which manifested as “neuroimmunologically mediated dysfunctions in the form of asthma and ASD.”

After being bumped around from court to court, Ryan’s case was eventually heard by the vaccine court’s Autism Omnibus Proceedings, according to The Huffington Post. And in the end, the federal government agreed that Ryan’s encephalopathy had been caused by the MMR vaccine, a landmark ruling that confirms what Dr. Andrew Wakefield found more than 15 years ago when studying gut disorders in children given the MMR vaccine.

“Ryan suffered a Table injury under the Vaccine Act — namely, an encephalitis within five to fifteen days following receipt (of MMR),” admitted the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding the case. “This case is appropriate for compensation,” it added, in full agreement with the court’s decision.

Of particular note in the case is the fact that concession documents by the government remain under seal. While the court and the government at large openly admitted that the MMR vaccine caused Ryan’s encephalitis, it did not make public its opinion on whether or not that encephalitis led to Ryan’s other injuries, including those that fall into the category of ASD. But the fact that these documents remain censored shows that the government is hiding something of importance from the public, which most definitely has to do with the connection between the MMR vaccine and autism.

Concerned parents everywhere were right all along: MMR vaccine can cause autism

In a similar case heard during the same month, young Emily Moller from Houston, Texas, was also awarded massive compensation for injuries resulting from the MMR vaccine. According to reports, Emily experienced a severe reaction after receiving not only the MMR vaccine but also the DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis), HiB, and Prevnar vaccines. Like with Ryan’s case, the government conceded that these vaccines led to Emily’s autism and other developmental problems.

These two cases, combined with numerous published studies out of the U.S., South America, and Europe, prove that the MMR vaccine is not the harmless vaccine that the conventional medical industry claims it is. In fact, everything that Dr. Wakefield found back in the late 1990s concerning the MMR vaccine — findings that cost him his career and reputation, by the way — are proving to be undeniably true.

“There can be very little doubt that vaccines can and do cause autism,” Dr. Wakefield recently stated from his home in Austin, Texas. “In these children, the evidence for an adverse reaction involving brain injury following the MMR that progresses to an autism diagnosis is compelling. It’s now a question of the body count. The parents’ story was right all along. Governments must stop playing with words while children continue to be damaged. My hope is that recognition of the intestinal disease in these children will lead to the relief of their suffering. This is long, long overdue.”

The Color of the Week 9/1-7

Posted on by

September 1-7

The theme this week is expect the unexpected.  In case you have not realized it yet, things are happening on their own schedule.  This will be a factor of life from now on.  IT is best to get used to it and be ready for change at any instant.  That way, you will find yourself walking into novelty with joy and acceptance.

 

Overall Color for the Week:  Bright Apricot

The week starts out on kind of a down note.  Your energies will be low and you may not be feeling quite yourself.  Take this as a hint that it is time to step back from all that is going on and do some internal work.  Things are shifting quite a bit right now, and all these changes are making new demands on you spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.  It is time really to feel your feelings, so if you fell a cry coming on, let it go, if you feel like laugh, laugh loud and long.  When things like anger appear, work through them but do not hold onto them.  It is time to know what is truly right for you.  This pertains to all areas, so take a look at where you are, the people around you, the foods you eat, the lifestyle choices you have made, etc., etc., etc..  it is a good time for meditating on them and letting the Universe work with you to see if there are changes that need to made in any area.  This is a week also for taking time with things.  Sit back and let them develop.  You can learn a lot from seeing just how things come together and where they go.  You can close out the week a lot wiser than you began it.

On the larger scale, you will see that they definitely have not learned their lessons as things seem to spiral out of control in many political areas.  There is a realignment happening in positions of power, and this realignment is going to characterize the rest of the year.  You are seeing it all beginning this week.   Be alert to mention of new figures who will be coming onto the scene.  Some of these will merely be puppets who will be attempting to establish the old status quo.  In the area of finances, the stock market is truly in a daze.  It is time for you to look at your relationship with money and know that it is merely numbers on paper.  It is no measure of your real worth.  The skies will be brining forth some unusual things this week.  This can be in the shape of precipitation, magnetics, perhaps, UFO’s, and other things.  The weather will continue along its unpredictable path with many things occurring out of season.  There will be attempts to explain what is going on, but you will be able to see through them.  One is an anomaly, numerous create a new norm.  SO the skies will turn dark and menacing, and you will think something awful is coming your way, but in no time it is gone and some place completely else has been inundated.  This is the week for the beginning of many things in terms of weather events.  Things will eb getting rocky from the end of the week on, not just in the US, but in other areas throughout the globe where Gaia is shifting, moving, tossing, and turning.  She is working to establish her own comfort right now and that can involve detox in clogged areas on her surface.  You will become aware of it.  Her little ones, the mammals of the sea, have taken much on.  They continue to do so.  It is time to send them your love and healing energy.

Transformation: Choosing Consciousness

July 9, 2013

Multiple-shots-of-Earth feature

When I have lectured about Earth and the people who inhabit it attaining transformation and moving to a higher dimension, there is one thing that bothered me: the people who were “left behind” on the Old Earth, and those who evolved and moved to the New Earth.

Multiple-shots-of-EarthI have talked and written about transformation and the theory of parallel universes and lives that are created by our thoughts and decisions. One theory I have raised is any time an individual has to make a decision, they usually have more than once choice or option. They have to decide one way or another. This is what I call “coming to a crossroad.”

Each time we make a decision another universe or dimension is instantly created, so the other choice can also become a reality, and another “you” can come into existence. We are not aware of these other parts of “us,” but nonetheless, transformation is taking place. These newly created selves are all just as real as the present lives we are focused on.th (16)

It is up to the people of Earth, both the Old Earth that is driven by karma, and the New Earth, which is free of attachments, to make a choice. One Earth will go in one direction, and the other Earth in another. Choosing higher consciousness empowers a single individual’s transformation and has the power to change entire worlds for the better.

Transformation A star is bornThe energy to inspire transformation is growing stronger. It is physically affecting our bodies. Our frequency and vibration is being altered. I believe it is ultimately up to us what we choose and decide, and which Earth we gravitate toward by using our free will.

The choice for transformation is ours, and all possible worlds are waiting to be explored.
