Static Charge Pulse on Wind Generator Material Memory Blades

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 11:50:05 +0000

Wind Power is considered a clean industry and is amongst the favorites of environmentalists and clean energy supporters. Unfortunately the wind generators rely on the wind and the wind is somewhat inconsistent in that sometimes it blows and some times it does not. There are some places in the United States like the California and Nevada Deserts, Hills of North Dakota, West Texas Plains, State of Wyoming where the wind seems to always be blowing and hard. Scientists do long intense studies to determine where the wind blows with the most force by studying weather patterns, terrain and updrafts for many seasons. It is through these studies we learn where to place our wind generators to get the most; “bang for the buck.” You see wind generators are expensive to build and you also have to build power lines to take the energy to the grid. The is a definite monetary consideration and return on investment which must be calculated with or without the renewable energy infrastructure tax credits and deductions.

These wind generators produce quite a bit of static electricity, but in its form is not very usable to your alternating current needs of running appliances. The static electricity created by the large wind generator fan blades moving thru the air is significant. With this electromagnetic energy once it is used it goes to zero like a big zap from the carpet after you drag your feet across it. But as the wind generator blades moves it is built up again and again. We should use this zapping power to allow the spinning blades of a wind generator to flap, by sending pulses into specially manufactured material memory blades. As they flap much like a bird we can increase speed of the blade slightly when the wind is weak. Thus have a more constant power output to the in times of no or little wind. By creating a flapping situation blades can continue even when airflow is very low at 2-3 mph. Think on this.

Insighting Human Behavior thru Gravity Wave Simulations of the Moon

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 11:26:16 +0000

Every police officer will tell you that when there is a full moon, the natives are restless and it will be a long night, with lots of arrests and paperwork? This is a known fact one which cannot be dismissed so easily after such basic observations. An evolutionary theorist would say this is because on moonlit nights our ancient ancestors went on night hunts or that the Sabertooth tigers came to hunt us? Some say these things date back to our Tree Shrew ancestry, all of which Darwin might agree is plausible. Other more spiritual folks might say it is a special time, which brings out human emotion and spirits? Sounds cool to me. I could go for that one? Whatever the case is Lunar Cycles and full moons cause or help along Earth Shift movements of Tectonic plates, coincide with ocean wave actions and indeed cause the behavior shift of many life forms on the Planet’s surface. Could this be from an interaction of gravity waves between Earth and Moon? If so does it affect the resonance of mother Earth’s 7.89 Hz or heartbeat?

What if we take these variations from these interactions and intensify them; using wave manipulation on the human brain. Oh no, you are so evil; you are now saying? Must be those spirits coming out for the next moon cycle, but all kidding aside, can we insight human emotion, emotional out bursts or even fear thru gravity wave simulations on the human body. Can we use sound directional technologies to focus it on someone’s skull while they are in a completely scientific environment? What kinds of behavior can we expect? Well as our policemen friends say we might expect some rather rotten, hostile or aggressive behavior. Indeed this maybe the case, but whatever it is we will find, we need to experiment and see, as the opposite might be like music to the common beast. Thus we have a way to heal, or mellow out as well or alert a population in times of impending danger to take charge to defend themselves. In times of war we can get our enemy to make a move and come out of hiding rather than wait to see where we will be attacked in an ambush. Anyway, think on this.

Carbon Nano Tube Sheets for Sea World

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 11:24:11 +0000

Carbon Nanotubes will be incredibly strong and transparent; there are many possible uses for them such as military cockpit canopies, bulletproof glass or car windshields. Glass weighs a lot, especially in an SUV with glass all around, that could be as much as 700 pounds? If you can reduce that much weight in a car you could get an extra two miles to the gallon. So just that alone guarantees a future for carbon nanotubes, but there is more.

http://www.physorg.com/news5890.html

But it gets better; the nanotubes are good conductors of electricity and will work well as flat panel displays. Additionally they are somewhat flexible. So imagine the applications? Now then since we have this awesome technology coming online, I propose we use these nanotube transparent flexible sheets for the Sea World under water tanks.

When a dolphin comes near you will see the dolphin and its RFID Tag will tell the clear nanotube clear wall to display the name for you to see? Perhaps it will then display a TV size video information virtual panel. So your viewing experience comes with the knowledge too. Since the nanotube sheets are flexible if will move with the water too and be completely safe in any seismic event; of course this is just one application for nanotube sheets, the uses are endless. Think on this.

An Immortal Horse

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 11:14:00 +0000

Egyptian scholars know there is little other than fiction that can be written about the civilization that lived on the banks of the Nile in far more recent times than the beginning of the ‘Old Copper Culture’. All these things are related and the old fictions are replaceable with the story of a worldwide culture with trading posts in each and every part of the world. Is there any remnant of cultural pride in Iran that treats the ancient metallurgists of their region with a different kind of respect than our history attributes to them? Does anyone think these nationalistic ideologues and pedagogues of today are real and honest presenters of fact? The whole concept of nationalism and most other ‘isms’ (except ecumenicism) need close scrutiny. The area of the Snake River in east central Minnesota may have been the site of copper mining when the glaciers covered the Great Lakes. Would it be possible for people 20,000 years ago to have been mining these sites and lost their access due to the glaciers? We humbly suggest this is the case and that they then returned as the glaciers melted. Petaga Point and work by Peter Bleed in 1969 may offer a starting point for that kind of thinking. He wrote The Archaeology of Petaga Point: The Preceramic Component by the Minnesota Historical Society.

“Petaga Point is a multicomponent site in central Minnesota near Mille Lacs Lake. The earliest levels appear to have Old Copper affiliations. The stratigraphy of the site was badly disturbed by forest clearing and modern habitation, and the presented stratigraphy is basically a statistical reconstruction. In this book, Bleed is the first to suggest a possible native copper source in the area of the Snake river in east central Minnesota.”(1)

This area is included in the culture we call Aztlan and involves Wisconsin sites such as Reigh, Osceola and Riverside. These sites may explain why there are no burials on Isle Royale or the Superior copper mining sites to the north. In the case of Riverside it is much later according to the archaeologic data and 1045 B.C. would have been a period of the Dark Ages when much worldwide technology was lost after the Trojan War. Walter Kenyon wrote about a site on the shores of the present day Lake Huron which was further inland and relates to a time when the Great Lakes were far differently configured.

“The Inverhuron site, located on the east shore of Lake Huron in Ontario, was excavated in 1956. The archaeological materials are contained in beach deposits, with earlier materials farther back from the present shore. A conical copper point was recovered from the limited testing of the extensive Archaic component. Kenyon compares it to those found at Farquhar Lake (Popham & Emerson 1954:18). He also describes a stone adze with an unusual form which he feels may have been derived from Old Copper celts.”(2)

The next brief report raises the issue of the horse that was once native to North America. It disappeared around 8,000 B.C after the Carolina Bays Meteors that are responsible for many of the instrumentation effects in the lower to middle Bermuda Triangle region. The horse may thus have actually been used in native copper mining of America. But we are convinced the issue of who the natives are that did this mining, is significantly up in the air or an outright cover-up (If you are inclined to conspiracies other than ‘LOVE’ as Father Pierre de Chardin who worked on Piltdown and with Black in China, asked us to begin.).

“1954 The Old Copper Assemblage and Extinct Animals. ‘American Antiquity’ 20:169-170.

Quimby analyses an occurrence of deeply buried copper artifacts and associated animal bones near Fort Williams in southwest Ontario. The discovery, made in 1913 and 1916, was recorded in a geological report. Quimby reasons that the site may date to the Altithermal, approximately 3500-2000 B.C., and that the bones are those of the bison and the extinct native horse.” (3)

This extinct native horse is around later than other data unequivocally states the horse was extinct in North America. It is almost too hard to believe there would be no other horse remains over a period of even a thousand years unless they were all completely domesticated and the bones didn’t exist because their owners cremated them in reverence. That is indeed a possibility when one considers the relationship various Keltic peoples had for the horse (but highly unlikely due to the way horses thrive in the wild.). Might we suggest another alternative? The horses found here had been brought to America to work milling machines on the route to the Trent or other Ontario river system routes that were used once the Ottawa River was no longer the conduit for Great Lakes water? This is at the end of the Old Copper culture and the location the horse was found is in close proximity to Isle Royale. I don’t think this is a co-incidence.

In addition to the eastern routes including Lake Champlain and Memphremagog there appears to have been some overland western route that led to the Fox or Aleutian Islands and even to Vancouver Island. In collating this information a University of Minnesota researcher brings together many interesting facts that indicate southwestern Ontario became the site of processing or manufacturing for copper after the sites on the Ottawa River are reported as being no longer in use by J. V. Wright that we have spoken of often. There are many routes from Lake Huron to Lake Ontario that may have been taken during this period. One of them is only a few hundred yards or a little more than a mile from where I now live in Toronto. The Humber River may have connected with Georgian Bay. Lake Simcoe and the Trent system seem likely at certain times after 2000 B.C. when the trade may have shifted away from a heavy emphasis on copper. The horse being part of this in a period five thousand years after their extinction is hard to fathom unless we connect with the European contacts we are making.

Processing Centers of a Non-Indigenous Nature For each Route:

1975 Taxonomic and Associated Considerations of Copper Technology During the Archaic Tradition. Ph. D. Dissertation, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

This source provides the first detailed information on four sites related to the Old Copper complex. PICKEREL LAKE (aka “Sarberg”), collected 1968-71, is located in Quetico Park, southwest Ontario. Copper artifacts were found along a beach and rocky shore by campers, along with corner notched lithic points. There were indications of copper manufacture. {N.B.!}Steinbring examines that possibility that this site, which strongly resembles the McCollum site, may represent the last vestiges of the Old Copper complex. TULABI FALLS, Whiteshell Provincial Park, Manitoba, was excavated in 1972. The site contained 4 copper artifacts, rich faunal remains and no signs of copper manufacture. WHITEMOUTH FALLS on the Winnipeg River in Manitoba produced 1 copper artifact. The site is deeply stratified, with a middle stratum radiocarbon date of 4860 +/-150 suggesting that the earliest strata may be 7000 years old. HOUSKA POINT on the Rainey Lake in Ranier, Minnesota was excavated in 1970-71. The stratigraphy was significantly disturbed. The site produced approximately 600 copper artifacts, all characterized as fragile. Two gracile socketed forms were found in ceramic strata, and a possible socket fragment in a pre-ceramic strata. {Ceramic technology in this Aztlan area was prior to in other areas, and should not be regarded in the same archaeologic period per my research.} Trim bits and nuggets eroding from adjacent shoreline indicated copper manufacture on the site. (See Rapp 1984 regarding raw material source of the copper here.) Steinbring 1975 is cross-listed under Section I with notes on other contents. 1971 Test excavation at the Fish Lake Dam Site, Minnesota. ‘The Minnesota Archaeologist’ 31 (1):3-40.

This site, located 20 miles northwest of Duluth, Minnesota, was investigated by the University of Winnipeg in 1969. {Duluth is the key area of the iron ore range of today (Mesabi) and would have been a port for the Aztlan culture when the Old Copper Civilization was mining Isle Royale.} Copper artifacts were first discovered here by a collector in association with “Late Paleo/Boreal Archaic” lithic artifacts. A few copper artifacts were discovered in 1969, also with typologically Plano materials. The stratigraphy was essentially destroyed, but because there were no ceramics present all the pre-historic material was treated as a single Archaic component. Many copper artifacts were reportedly removed from the vicinity in the early 1900s, from sites which are believed to now be under water.”(4)

SUMMARY AND THE X FACTOR:

We must make some guesses that are totally speculative to try to tie some of this information into a common sense perspective. The geologic record which we dealt with in earlier chapters assures us that the Hudson/Lake Champlain or Richelieu Valley was a prime conduit for the water from the Great Lakes at some point. It may have occurred at different points as the native Indians speak of the river that flows both ways. The rise of land after the glacial retreat contributes to the landforms that stand in the way of access for Lake Memphremagog or Lake Champlain to the waters of the St. Lawrence. There would have been a time before the horses of America were extinct (not the anomalous one noted, but back to 8,350 BC and before) when the glaciers still locked the mouth of the St. Lawrence. Memphremagog was probably not the mouth of any great water system at this time but pre-glacial lakes in front of the retreating glaciers would have been there at some point.

It is probably just a stretch of my fertile imagination to suggest that there were knowledgeable people who had harvested copper from the surface of the Lake Superior region before the glaciers advanced. If this ‘float ore’ left from earlier glacial effects had been found when the National Geographic and others acknowledge Europeans and earlier Asians arrived in the Americas would they have found them useful and returned to Europe with the information, or with other intent (Including War) to show those who threw them out of their homeland? If that occurred and they kept the verbal tradition alive through all the last stage of glacial advances that covered the Great Lakes they might also have found a time when the Connecticut River appealed to them and they began mining around 10,500 years ago or before when the lower Great Lakes were uncovered. The marble and quartz of the region around the Laurentian Shield of southern Ontario and Quebec might have been enough to interest them while waiting to get at the copper.

If this scenario has any credence it seems likely that the Chinese or Asian/Mu people were involved in Aztlan at this time and before as well. I can find no specific evidence of when the Mu people fought the remnants of the mythical Atlantis except a record on the frieze at Chichen Itza which could relate to any time period or peoples. There are lots of legends to suggest they were in contact and we know for sure they were living together in the Tarim Basin near

What is a Paradigm Shift

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 11:11:22 +0000

A Paradigm Shift is when a significant change happens - usually from one fundamental view to a different view. In most cases, some type of major discontinuity occurs as well.

Thomas Kuhn wrote about Paradigm Shift during the early 1960s, and explained how “series of peaceful interludes punctuated by intellectually violent revolutions” caused “one conceptual world view to be replaced by another view.”

In laymen terms, Paradigm Shift is a popular, or perhaps, not so popular shift or transformation of the way we Humans perceive events, people, environment, and life altogether. It can be a national or international shift, and could have dramatic effects — whether positive or negative — on the way we live our lives today and in the future.

Paradigm Shift: A Summary

In today’s society, we’ve all witnessed a major shift already. When we look back upon “counterculture” (More information here: http://psychcentral.com/psypsych/Counterculture), we trace some of the origins to the definition of “Paradigm Shift.”

During the counterculture era (1960s-1970s), younger generations opposed authority and were very much at odds with society’s accepted belief systems and standards of living. In the counterculture movement (fueled by the Vietnam War), social conservatives were deemed “social repressionists.”

The enlightening Paradigm Shift exploded into innovative ideas about religion, society and spirituality, notwithstanding traditional Western ideologies.

In today’s society, we see a shift toward a more blinded-oppresionistic view; breed by censorship. The ironic juxtapositions between the Paradigm Shift of nearly half a century ago and society’s youth today are chillingly revelational.

Youth’s opposition to authority may not have always been in the best interest of humanity; however, it was the Paradigm shift that led to revolutional changes that improved racial tensions and relationships, opened communication lines to outside nations, and ended the Vietnam War.

The end result included varying degrees of negative and positive transformations that allowed people to open their hearts and minds to multicultural diversity; and promoted liberty and freedom — on the flipside of the shift, there was increased promiscuity, higher divorce rates, higher drug use, and imposed socialistic views and applications of welfare systems.

Today’s Paradigm Shift

In lieu of recent times; however, a Paradigm Shift has been evolving. Have you been paying attention? Youth — today, is seemingly under the hypnotic spell of invisible censorship. What is “invisible censorship?” Local news stations often report half-truths, or biased news reports in relation to national and international events; including: environmental, global, and political reports. Many traditional educational systems are imposing personal political views upon students; and incorporate these beliefs and attitudes into instructional plans. Other invisible censorship, is the fact that many events are brushed under the rug and are not given adequate media coverage as opposed to propaganda-style news.

So, in essence, what does this Paradigm Shift translate to with regard to human life and environmental habits? What could be the possible outcome of such dynamic and interventional metamorphosis?

Physical Therapy Schools

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:38:02 +0000

Physical Therapy Schools administer course instruction to potential physical therapists. Physical therapy schools help students to meet physical therapy requirements and the ability to pass a licensure exam before physical therapists can begin to practice. Physical therapy schools offer accredited physical therapist educational programs that may include masters’ degress, and doctoral degrees.

Physical Therapy Schools incorporate course instruction including biology, chemistry and physics. Physical therapy schools further give instruction on biomechanics, neuroanatomy, human growth and development, disease manisfestations, examination techniques, and therpeutic procedures. Physical therapy schools also utilize classroom, laboratory and clinical instruction.

When applying for enrollment in one of the many physical therapy schools, it is wise to have had previous school instruction courses in anatomy, biology, chemistry, social sciences, mathematics and physics. Like occupational therapy, physical therapy schools also prefer students to have volunteered or worked in a medical facility.

The potential for career expansion and development (in addition to client help and healing) is very broad for students entering and acquiring education through physical therapy school. To learn more about physical therapy schools or to locate a Physical Therapist near you, please see our school directory for a physical therapy schools and physical therapists at holisticjunction.com!

Synchronized Swimming Advantage for Twins

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:30:10 +0000

The Olympic Contests for Synchronized Swimming are a testament to the natural human ability of telepathy. What we find in College and University Level synchronized swimmers thru observation and data of the top athletes is that those teams which have been long time friends seem to have a mind connection, which far surpasses generally accepted scientific knowledge. Those synchronized swimmers that are twins have even a greater advantage, as results show that twins are often some of the top performers in the sport. These observations are quite obvious and statistically too high to be coincidence.

There is a Synchronized Swim team of twins from Ohio who are so good it appears they are connected. Scientists studying the brains of twins think in fact that they are connected or have an entangled brain advantage. This is not uncommon in the animal kingdom, as many researchers have found with birds, mammals and even fish. The impulse firings of the nerves seem to indicate a telepathy advantage at the speed of thought and the reaction times possible to mammals is far exceeded meaning there is an advantage to long time friends who may be on the same brain waves and twins who are not only on the same brain wave but also seem to have a genetic entanglement advantage. We need more research here.

Certainly in watching the synchronized swimmers in actions and studying the background including long term friendships and/or genetic similarities we should be able to ascertain immediately that there is a scientifically research provable advantage. If we look at other species and their abilities such as flocks of 1000 birds all turning at the same time and doing so faster than their reaction time allows for or schools of fish all operating like a giant team of one, we can see that synchronized swimming is similar. So similar in fact that it seems to prove that humans can do what animals do all the time with practice and with such perfection that one has to ask the question. Is this an innate skill? And how much is practice and how much is in the development of fine mind tuning? How significant is the genetic brain entanglement of twins or the judge’s bias due to the two participants looking nearly the same? How much of these are coincidence factors of training in timing of actions or actual brain waves firing the muscles as if the brain is the engine and the muscles are moving parts? Can we really merely condemn such natural observations using science when science clearly will not face that there are other factors.

Recently I talked at length with a Synchronized Swimmer Athlete and she indicated that there was definitely mind reading factor. She indicated that those who were close friends, roommates or had similar family backgrounds were much better than those who did not have such similarities. Additionally she believed based on her own swim team that those who had been close friends since the early ages of 5 or 6 years old were far superior in every way to those who had met in college and signed up to compete on the team. Although we cannot prove this either way, I often find that those who are involved in such things on a close level seem to know what is going on. Likewise as an athlete I myself can remember having a mind-brain connection while “in the zone” with both competitors and teammates. We must challenge the experts on these issues, as science may be clouding mankind’s greatest abilities and perhaps covering up the fact that our species and civilizations may have indeed forgotten more than we have ever known. Think on this.

Chiropractic Schools

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:18:28 +0000

Before CHIROPRACTIC SCHOOLS accept one into their educational system, it is recommended that students have earned a degree in the arts or sciences from an accredited college or university. Chiropractic schools also require applicants to have at least 90 semester hours in English, social sciences or humanities, organic and inorganic chemistry, biology, physics, and psychology as well.

Chiropractic schools offer education and training in chiropractic health treatments. Teaching a broad spectrum of topics of diagnostics and treatment for persons suffering from muscular, nervous and skeletal system problems; chiropractic schools and colleges stand strong on the firm belief that interference within these systems can disrupt normal functioning and lowers resistance to disease. Chiropractic schools are holistic educational systems that place emphasis on the patient’s overall well-being. By evaluating numerous factors such as one’s exercise, diet, rest, environment and heredity; chiropractic schools teach prospective physicians to use natural, drug-free, non-surgical health treatments that rely on the body’s self-healing mechanisms.

After completion of the chiropractic school of choice, a four-part exam is administered by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. However, state examinations may supplement the National Board testing — dependent upon individual state requirements.

Coincidentally, 70 percent of chiropractors go into solo practice. While some chiropractors go on to instruct, others conduct research at other chiropractic schools, institutions and colleges; and some work in hospitals and clinics.

Once one has earned his or her degree through chiropractic schools, s/he can expect to earn anywhere from $36k - $111k. On average, self-employed chiropractors tend to earn more than salaried chiropractors. Overall, (according to the American Chiropractic Association), income for all chiropractors averages in the neighborhood of $86k per annual.

Pre-Neolithic Calendars (Accurate)

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:18:08 +0000

Braden is quite wrong when he says the initiations to this knowledge began about two thousand years ago. I think that is when some people emboldened by the earlier Pythagorean partial inclusion of the knowledge into Therapeutae systems like the Essenes, started to study it and write something about it. However, the prohibition on sharing this information which is said to have still been a matter of summary execution in the time of Plato, probably started ten thousand years earlier.

Pre-Neolithic Calendars:

The Ishango or other aboriginal message sticks from places like Australia and Africa are not easily comprehended by us in the present. The tools of forensics and hard sciences are not always possible for each author or scholar to fully comprehend but they are great evidences, and I thank god we have them. The megaliths and stelae or other Neolithic Libraries are the subject of serious investigation again. The list of proofs for trans-oceanic travel in the pre-Christian era would take a full book (at least) if only four lines were devoted to each point. The great seafarers of Atlantis or these early colonizers from the Brotherhood deserve to be studied and we can learn a great deal from how they ran their government or society. Unless you wish to take the alien intervention route of ‘easy answers’ to explain the various things we are discussing, you will have to keep working to understand why Empire and women-hating was so important to those wishing domination and control, as the appropriate means of governance.

I will quote Alexander Marshack shortly, his great work on an ancient lunar calendar is just another item that fits my long held perception, that we know so little and assume far too much stupidity for or about our forbears. Frank Parise wrote a reference book on all known calendrical systems a couple of decades ago. It is totally unbiased and lists the facts as they are known. In it he says the Mayan calendar starts at 3114 BC. In any event he lists it various parts from that time forward. I have heard it was prepared in 3564 BC. It certainly is very old and would have taken someone or a culture a long time to get to the point of this highly complex prophetic calendar that was as astronomically correct as early 20th Century calendars.

When Marshack wrote about the Le Placard baton in 1991 he was erring on the side of conservatism by saying it was from at least 15,000 BC. I have seen it dated as old as 35,000 years and the ‘norm’ for its provenance seems to be 30,000 years old. It is an accurate lunar calendar once thought to be mere ‘notation’ and it took twenty years of detailed analysis for Marshack to prove what it really was. In this quote he seems not to know about other things such as the origin of agriculture and language that we have covered. I guess it is hard for ‘experts’ to keep up to date on all the different fields or disciplines. One other real possibility is that he didn’t wish to go against conventional scholarship and the Sumerian or Bible Narrative origin of language and agriculture. Maybe it was his publisher or some other agency that convinced him not to rock the boat.
It is hard to imagine he did not know the work done at the Franchithi Caves that shows HYBRID grains before the Fertile Crescent ordinary grain harvests. Here we have the quote from his book The Roots of Civilization.

” the unravelling occurred at precisely the moment that young archaeologists in Europe and the United States had begun to publish arguments that notations could not possibly have existed in the Ice Age and that the microscopic method could not be used to ascertain notation. I summarize the ‘decoding’ since it was not dependent on microscopic cross-sectional analysis of single marks but on a determination of the changing strategies involved in a complex sequence of visual, symbolic, problem-solving.

Remember also that this baton was engraved some 5,000 years before agriculture formally ‘began’ in the Fertile Crescent of the Middle East and some 10,000 years before the formal ‘beginning’ of writing “(2)

It is not easy to go against the forces of intellectual lethargy and worse that are backed by tenured professors. We see Marshack putting quotes around ‘began’ and ‘beginning’ and wonder if he knew better. Often the funding for research dries up when something threatening to the paradigm is being discovered. He also wisely addresses the mental processes of Neanderthal and we open another debate.

“By the Mousterian period, Neanderthal man, for instance, was not only engaged in complex adaptation to his environment, but was also engaged in complex ceremony and rite. By the Upper Paleolithic, modern ‘Homo Sapiens’ was capable of representational art and notation. This combined late evidence {He avoids the Berekhat Ram figurine dated to 400,000 years ago which we have covered. In 2004 they have found beaded art at least one fourth that old and claim it is 30,000 years older than the previously thought to be oldest art.} would seem to indicate that quite early the evolving hominid must have had some means of communication or ‘language’, a capacity and skill that evolved as part of the increasingly complex way of life and culture he was structuring. But how much language, and to say what at each stage, has not yet begun to be investigated. It was certainly more complex than can be deduced by analogy and from studies of the primates. In our efforts to understand the notations we must make the effort.” (3)

I say the notations were the forerunner of Ogham which incorporated the ritual and spiritual chant as well as the obvious sign languages that must have come first. Ogham is a sign language of the hands and knuckles; it is evident by looking at the simple diagrams of it. It also had healing and divinatory roots that make up at least 64 different tracts not to mention the 5 dialects. Modern scholars do not know how the quipas of Peru kept poetry on ropes with knots that are reminiscent of Ogham and knuckles. But, when one considers the ‘me-too think’ that is evident in schooling it is no wonder. There were early 20th Century scholars who still promoted Locke’s ‘Tabula Rasa’. Locke said no animal could think or communicate and that this is what separated man from beast at some point in his development. This, of course, dovetailed rather nicely with the Bible and the Babel story. Even Marshack is not mentioning Koko the gorilla or Kansai the chimp. They both know more English and grammar than many seven year olds.

The historians who made us believe the human was a cave dweller who beat women over the head with clubs are still quoted as having something to offer. Almost all Western academia is still infected by the Ussher born gradualistic ascendance through a ‘god-guided’ Christian entity that somehow created ’sins and demons’ and only had one true representative on earth. The scholars in the Church or the accompanying hegemony who developed the Scale of Nature needed to provide their missionaries and mercenaries with justification to destroy all life and art they found. The Incans and Mayans suffered mightily to see their culture destroyed and yet knew it was coming before it happened. It took the Pope until 1524 to decide if the North American Indian even had a soul as crude as the Hottentot. Needless to say who they had at the top of this evil Scale or Chain of Ascended Being; it was that person who was the Lord’s only representative. The same one that liked Cosmas Indicopleustas making all the heavens revolve around him in the Flat Earth theory.

Maybe I am wrong to think there has been an organized and well thought out conspiracy from the moment of the Treaty of Tordesillas and Columbus’ first invasion. Maybe Manifest Destiny is not the kind of rationale that the elite have used against natives and average people throughout history. Probably I do over-emphasize the Hegelian ‘play both ends against the middle’ whenever I see people like Moses being all things to all people. But it certainly deserves serious consideration if one is to learn enough from history to stop these things from happening. I am certain that animals have a soul and the ability to think and communicate. Yogi Ramacharaka of the Yogic Society of Chicago wrote some excellent books at the beginning of the 20th Century in which he said domesticated animals are at a higher spiritual level than many humans living in poverty. In the end I wonder about the soul of Churchians who limit the spirit and awareness of the soul for all their ‘flock’! Jesus said, ‘We are all the children of God’ and God must have people fulfilling his PURPOSE of harmonization here on earth. We all must think and choose for ourselves as we learn from our soul and all the potential of it and humanity - we must not be ‘fool - owers’!

“It was the first thought of prehistorians involved in the late nineteenth-century debate of science against the church that the newly discovered evidence of prehistoric art and ceremony revealed an evolution of man’s ’spiritual’ and ‘religious’ side, as opposed to his developing ‘practical’ or ‘aggressive’ side as indicated by the tools. This philosophic division of man into two or three parts was an attempt to save his unique ’spiritual’ place at the top of the ladder of creation. Man, the argument went, may have ascended biologically during his evolution, but once near the top he had been given, or he had achieved, a ’soul’.” (4)

And you know who the interpreters for this entity that gave us a soul were, don’t you? Marshack goes on to discuss the scientific and other contributions of Father Teilhard de Chardin, which rocked Catholicism. I am very much in agreement with the ‘templates’ of Teilhardism and the need for a ‘Conspiracy of Love’ which he called for, in great earnestness. His influence can be seen in Jean Houston’s Jumptime. This qualitative Intelligent Design is at the root of all my dedication to writing a new history for man to build proper models of behaviour upon.

So I hope I have established enough of the fundamentals for the reader to see the ‘notation’ and symbols on dolmen, menhir, megalith and stelae or other Neolithic Libraries has a lot to offer us; in seeing how we developed as spiritual beings in a long and fruitful growth, we must return to the bosom of. One of the most important aspects is reflected in the degrees of a circle or mapping system that Bradley said academics have ‘no apparent reason’ for the fact of its existence. It is harmonic and it was understood by the builders of the Great Pyramid.

Author of many books that tell us there are reasons that powerful people have sought to keep average people under them rather than share and care. Our history includes times when we were able to co-operate and achieve more as a species (even more than now possibly) and some people kept a little of the more ancient knowledge to themselves.

Precognition or Circadian Rhythm

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:36:04 +0000

The bodies natural clock or circadian rhythm seems to have sensors through the brain and body. It is a perfect set of clocks, which regulate our bodies and sync to our minds. It is so incredible that some have spent entire careers trying to unlock natures secret. Some believe this is part of God’s creation, other believe it is the work of a millions and millions of years of evolution. Still others have mystic explanations for it, while they debate with others who say it is all part of a planned design.

Have you ever noticed that you can wake up within minutes of when you intended too? Most people can do this. That indeed is a pretty cool human feature and we all are thankful to have it, not that we all could use some more sleep, but it sure comes in handy. Others are not so inclined to trust their inner clock and so they use an alarm clock instead; just to be on the safe side. Like the song “Working 9-5, It’s No Way to Make a Living.” How can our bodies do this? Why are some better than others, but all of us seem to be able to do it? Why does our inner clock wake us up on-time?

Have you ever noticed that you wake up a minute before the alarm clock goes off? Some say this is pre-cognition of your rapid body change and that while in a dream state your mind is not stuck in time as in the waking hours. It flows thru other dimensions. Others say that concept is bogus and that your circadian rhythm is the explanation. Okay so we have competing theories and neither side has been able to prove convincingly either way one or the other is entirely correct. Some studies have been done in which someone else sets the alarm clock and the subjects still wake up just before the alarm rings? Interesting how is that possible then? Well, some say we can communicate or send thoughts out to those we know. And whoever set the alarm and is doing the experiment sent a little mental message to the sleeper and gave away the time? Bummer? But you cannot prove that.

I therefore propose an experiment. Get 40 people all sleeping and forty alarm clocks which are each set in advance by a computer with no clock on them, just little black boxes; all different times. Each alarm clock is to be set by a sleeping person at different times in different places. Then see if everyone wakes up just before they go off. Ah ha, then you will know if it is precognition of a very abrupt change in bio-rhythms from the sound of the alarm or if they stay sleeping until the end you know it was the circadian rhythm all along.

Simulated Space Colony and Space Station Locations

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:11:14 +0000

Being one of the first Space Colonists is not going to be such an easy deal. It will take a group of people who really are into it and have complete control of their minds to stay tough with the dedication it will take to pull it off for a life long mission of that type. How will we know that those we invest in have the right stuff? One interesting Sci Fi book on this goes into some of the possibilities of a Mars Colony and the psychological issues, which arise. You may wish to read this book; “Return to Mars” by Ben Bova.

NASA has considered underwater colonies under the ocean to test the psyche of astronauts, perhaps for a couple of years. There was a group that was put into the Columbia University BiosSphere II for three years and they almost lasted 2-years, before the group dynamics, an injury and issues with the interior CO2 issues all ended up destroying that project. Now in the Australian Outback they are planning a 36-meter long space station simulation including a mobile explorer rover, laboratory, exercise-medical room, seven bedrooms and a cockpit area. This project will cost $1,500,000.00 and be called the “Mars OZ” research station. All these are decent attempts and ideas of what we must be thinking when practicing our space colony missions.

I propose a different type of colony in the artic ice cap on Earth to practice for an “ice house” colony on Mars, which would be nearly identical.

http://worldthinktank.net/wttbbs/index.php?s=fb34d2572f5af01af38497d7b2f98fe6&showtopic=1097

We practice shooting them into orbit here, allowing them to re-enter the atmosphere and landing on the Ice Cap, usig the tools on the craft to dig into the ice, build a habitat with what has been given and then living there without help for 3.5 years and study them, via remote video. If they freeze or die, leave them there until the duration of the mission. This way we will know if we can handle the possible national tragedy if they do not make it and know if humans can live in such close proximity, build their habitat and live in using only what they bring? Think on this.

Home Study Proofreading Can Be Practical For You… At Last

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:50:05 +0000

In the world in which we live, education is the most important factor. This holds true for proof reading specifically. The good news is that home study proofreading is more and more readily available. In fact, for those looking to work in this field, they can get all the education they need online. Without this education, though, the proof reader is not going to be able to fulfill the job requirements that they are faced with. So, it just makes sense to get them right from the start. Home study proofreading is the answer here.

Did you know that there are accredited colleges online? There are. With the busy lifestyle that so many of us lead, we need as much flexibility in scheduling that we can get. Why not go online for your proofreading courses? There are colleges that offer college credits in proof reading. You could be developing your skills right now. In most of these courses, you can learn what you need to learn from start to finish online. Some offer online tutoring and course work, while others offer a mail based system for testing and grading. In any case, it is essentially the easiest way for many people to get the education they need to become a freelance writer.

But, is it really that simple? No, it is not. In fact, many individuals think that they can work, have a family life, and go to college all at the same time. While it can be done, it will be exhausting to say the least. Instead of worrying about this though, consider what could happen if you did take that proofreading course. You would open doors that haven’t been cracked yet. You would have the opportunities in the freelance market that you have been waiting for. It may be well worth the hard work to look into and begin taking these courses after all. By doing it online, you can work around just about any schedule.

What’s the Problem - Introducing Solution Focus Pt 2

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:45:03 +0000

Again, many of us think we listen, yet we don’t always “attend” to the person who is speaking to us. We are too busy doing other things! We are not being 100% attentive. The following attributes of good listening are suggestive of the skills needed. There is some overlap between the various attributes, but each suggests something different.

Dynamic Listening Involves:

Concentration. Good listening is normally hard work. We live in a time that is highly demanding on us all. We are moving fast paced with a hundred things on our minds at any given time. Many of us wear a lot of hats and our plates “runneth” over. But when we are committed to giving SF help, we have to repress almost all of these and concentrate on the verbal sounds (and visual clues) from one source - the speaker. And this concentration, is something that most of us have not been thoroughly trained in how to do. Focus your attention - on the words, ideas and feeling related to the subject. Concentrate on the main ideas or points. All of this takes a conscious effort and self discipline.

Attention. Attention may be defined as the visual portion of concentration on the speaker. Through eye contact and other body language, we communicate to the helpee that we are paying close attention to his/her messages. All the time we are reading the verbal and nonverbal cues from the helpee, the helpee is reading ours. What messages are we sending out? If we lean forward a little and focus our eyes on the person, the message is we are paying close attention. If we are diverting our eyes to the clock, writing something on paper, the message is that we are not paying attention.

Eye contact. Good eye contact is essential for several reasons: First, by maintaining eye contact, we will not be so easily distracted by the visuals around us. Second, 75 to 80% of messages are in non-verbal form and by watching the eyes and face and physical movements of a person we pick up clues as to the content. A fumbling with the fingers may indicate nervousness. Finally, and maybe most important, our eye contact with the speaker is immediate feedback concerning the message they are attempting to give us. It says in essence, yes, I am listening, I am paying attention. I hear you. Remember: a person’s face, mouth, eyes, hands and body all help to communicate to you. No other parts of the body are as expressive as the head and eyes.

Body Language. Certain body postures and movements are culturally interpreted with specific meanings. The crossing of arms and legs is perceived to mean a closing of the mind and attention. The nodding of the head vertically is interpreted as agreement or assent. Of course, nonverbal clues such as these vary from culture to culture just as the spoken language does. If seated, the leaning forward with the upper body communicates attention. Standing or seated, the maintenance of an appropriate distance is important. Too close and we appear to be invading the private space of another, and too far and we are seen as cold and distant.

Understanding of Language Meaning must be imputed to the words. But, as we all know, many words in the English language has numerous meanings. Therefore, it is incumbent upon you as the listener to concentrate on the context of the usage in order to correctly understand the message. The spoken portion of the language is only a fraction of the message. Voice inflection, body language and other symbols send messages also.

Objectivity. We should be open to the message the other person is sending. It is very difficult to be completely open because each of us is strongly biased by the weight of our past experiences. We give meaning to the messages based upon what we have been taught the words and symbols mean by our parents, our peers and our teachers. Talk to someone from a different culture and watch how they give meaning to words. For example, the word “family” has a different meaning to Haitians than it does for Americans. Though it is similar, it is still different and must be comprehended from their perspective if you are to be successful in being objective. Or another listening challenge is to listen open and objectively to a person with very different political or religious beliefs.

Restating the message. Your restating the message as part of the feedback can enhance the effectiveness of good communications. A comment such as: “I want to make sure that I have fully understood your message….” and then paraphrase in your own words the message. If the communication is not clear, such a feedback will allow for immediate clarification. This is mandatory! It is paramount that you state the message as clearly and objectively as possible.

Questioning/Clarifying. Questions can serve the same purpose as restating the message. If you are unclear about the intent of the message, ask for more information after allowing sufficient time for explanations. Don’t ask questions that put people on the spot. Never engage in questioning that will hurt, humiliate or show up the other person. Only part of the responsibility is with the speaker. You have an important and dynamic role to play also. If the message does not get through, all else is an exercise in futility.

Empathy. Empathy is the “the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another….” Sympathy is “having common feelings…” (Merrian Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 10th edition) In other words as a good listener you need to be able to understand the other person. Try to put yourself in the speaker’s position so that you can see what he/she is trying to get at. Be empathetic and nonjudgmental: When you value the speaker and accept the speaker’s feelings you will be able to empathize more fully, to “hear” more clearly and completely and to offer them the gift of being heard. Please, do not be judgemental.

Pauses. Intentional pauses can be used very effectively in listening. For example, a pause at some points in the feedback can be used to signal that you are “thinking” about what was just said.

Building an Ice House on Mars

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:40:23 +0000

There is ice at the Martian Poles, one of the poles has water ice in abundance. Such an ice over region could easily be converted into a habitat for a Martian Colony of human explorers. Taking humans to Mars is not such an easy task, keeping them alive once there even harder, bringing them back not easy at all. The polar water ice cap may hold the key to building a successful colony on Mars.

Do you remember the James Bond Movie that took place as the ice hotel? There is actually a place where they build one every year for visitors. Sounds cool and indeed it is, but can we use this idea to build an ice colony on Mars tunneling under the ice, chipping away and building rooms. Using the ice to derive oxygen while using the hydrogen for power. The ice can be converted to water to drink and grow plants for food? We can build small micro hydro-electric systems to provide power as well to provide back-up.

I propose that we build Ice Hotel Type habitats in the Mars Ice Cap for exploration and human colony and establish this as out exploratory base camp on Mars. This outpost will be our first step in moving man beyond this pale blue dot. The ice cap makes a lot of sense as a place to build an outpost and colony. Who knows we may find some life already living there.

Homeschool Classroom Benefits

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:15:18 +0000

The homeschool classroom is far from being the traditional classroom. The daily schedule is far from the traditional classroom schedule. At homeschool you can literally put your feet up. Take a break when you need a break. Even eat lunch when you get hungry. Many times there is no chalkboard. There doesn’t have to be one.

No need for a hall or bathroom pass! No bells ringing in the homeschool classroom to signal the end of one class and the beginning of another. And you certainly don’t have to sit at a desk all day.

In the homeschool classroom the teacher doesn’t have to try to coordinate the minds and the abilities of 30 different kids. The teacher can coordinate the lesson plan to fit the learning ability and the interest of the child. In the homeschool classroom you can focus on a few key subjects and pick up whatever other interests from there.

The use of the school day’s time is also a benefit to homeschooling. In the home school classroom, there are no administrative duties the teacher must spend working on so the time is spent on education. And with the much better teacher to student ratio that is a part of homeschooling, the learning generally occurs at a quicker yet more thorough pace.

Many benefits of homeschooling to be sure and the growing numbers of those parents opting for the homeschooling option bear these benefits out. Probably the biggest reason sited by parents is the growing dissatisfaction with the public system.

Homeschooling is certainly not without its critics and criticisms. The social aspect and interaction with other (the lack of it) generally top the list of criticisms of homeschooling. There are many support groups and organizations that have formed over the years to help the home school parent address much of the criticism.

Be confident, if you know your children and you know how to learn, you’ll always be able to teach your children.

teaching your child at home for the Homeschool-Curriculum-4u website. Please visit (http://www.homeschool-curriculum-4u.com) for more of Mary’s articles, resources on homeschool, ideas, and curriculum information.

Animal to Animal Telepathy

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 07:46:08 +0000

There has been much study on Telepathy in the animal kingdom. Many have experienced telepathy from human to human. Some have experienced telepathy from pets, both sending and even on rare occasion receiving. There are so many studies that show it is not coincidence or explainable by probability. In fact the statistics are so strong that after reading only a few studies and pitting that against your own observations in your ego-centric life experience that any normal human would have to agree.

Now then let me tell you of a theory of mine. It relates to the ability to send and receive thought or signals from one animal to another and perhaps to other species. In my theory I believe that the brain, which is working at a higher level or frequency is able to send better and than the brain working at a lower level. In lower levels it is better to receive thought. In other words the easiest time to receive is when one is a sleep. Now then lets us take both the paranormal theories of the collective consciousness and the current studies being done at MIT, Stanford and other places with telepathy. It appears when joining into the collective consciousness it is best to be a low theta state of mind.

Many would disagree with the theories of sending at higher rates of cognition in the beta or hyper beta realm, yet it appears that you can send information when you mind is running at higher RPMs. Yet there appears to be much advantage at the higher frequency level, in retrieving information stored in the faithful servant side of the brain when at higher Beta Frequencies. If one is drinking caffeine it is often interesting to watch them recall facts very quickly in observing conversations almost to the point of being on a game show. If you watch two people talk both drinking coffee you will see a much faster, detailed type conversation under rapid fire of neurons.

The reason I believe that a brain going at faster Beta waves can send information better has to do with my experience racing motorcycles and in riding on the street. At times I was able to send a thought such as; “look here” or “don’t pull out of that driveway” and instantly the driver would stop and look. I got so good at it that I could tell it was me doing it. Even when the wind was blowing the other way and the driver had the air-conditioning and radio on, they did not hear me. This even occurred at times when I was going very fast, but coasting out of gear. Now then other experiences I have had, have been when out running or jogging, when the heart rate was high, not from adrenaline of the motorcycle or the rush of oxygen in combination in the body; but rather from high cardiovascular exercise rates where I could signal to local wildlife on a trail, do not worry, I am just going to run by. Small Squirrels, rabbits or even watchdogs would just watch and stand there as I went by. I could also signal guard dogs to not bark, but they would come running up to the fence to watch me job by. Other times I would send out threatening thoughts to the animals and they would go berserk and try to get over the fence to attack me.

It appears that when you are in hyper beta frequency ranges you can command events to occur or even people to call you that you know. You can send out thoughts to animals or people and even invade the collective with thoughts you wish to get out, information. If you have ever been at a large concert is seems the music is playing into the collective and the excitement seems to allow those on stage to collect the energy and stay in hyper beta, maybe even more so if they are on drugs, thus the send of information thru music is so powerful as they generally are also sending out emotion, which everyone who is there, is freely open to collect.

It also appears to be able to send out information to the collective if you are in hyper-beta while most others are in low or extremely low frequency states of sleep, this too has been my observation. If a dog, cat or parrot, which have all been documented to pick up thoughts from their owners sometimes hundreds of miles a way and they are running on lower frequencies than humans, then this theory makes sense. There are hundreds of thousands of cases of telepathy being picked up by animals from humans and only a few rare cases of humans picking up telepathy signals from animals. Generally these rare cases are from distressed animals at a time when their systems, bodies and mind are in hyper status for them. Animals with bigger ranges in their brain waves seems to have the greater number of cases from animal to human. I will also recommend this book to you:

“The Sense of Being Stared At and other aspects of the extended mind” By Rupert Shelrake.

So, then after studying this and pitting it against your own observations you might come to my conclusion that hyper Beta helps in sending telepathy to others. For receiving it appears to be best for unification of the collective of minds to be at very low frequencies. However two people of similar frequencies in close proximity seem to be able to communicate with a minimal amount of difficulty fairly easily with practice. Anyway think on all this.

Choose Your School Classes by Using Your Senses

admin — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 07:43:24 +0000

Did you know that even though almost every person has five senses that they use to take in information about the world, usually each person has one sense which dominates?

And when you know which of your senses is dominant, you can use this knowledge to choose the right kind of classes for your unique learning style.

Which of your senses do you rely on the most to take in information about the world? Do you know which of your senses is most dominant when you call up a memory?

Test out several memories from your own past, and notice whether your memories are most intense when you access your visual, your auditory, or your body memories. Do any one of your sense memories feel stronger than others? Which sensory mode do you tend to use most often? Are there any senses that you never use at all when you remember things?

If you are particularly strong in your visual sense, you may frequently use phrases like “I see,” or “The way I picture it” or “Let’s shed some light on this.”

If you are a person whose visual sense dominates over the other senses, you probably love looking at beautiful paintings, beautiful objects and scenery.

If you are primarily a hearing person, you pay a lot of attention to sound. You may love listening to music, or you may crave complete silence.

You would rather take in information by listening to a lecture than by reading a book. Your conversation may be filled with phrases like, “I hear what you’re saying” or “That rings a bell”.

People who are primarily kinesthetic pay a lot of attention to their bodily sensations and emotions.

People with a strong kinesthetic sense tend to enjoy playing sports, dancing and engaging in hands-on physical activity.

The more you know about your own particular learning style, the more you will be able to choose the sorts of learning experiences that work best for you, and avoid those methods of instruction that you will find frustrating.

In primary school and high school, most of the educational instruction is presented in the visual or auditory modes. Students are required to do a lot of listening and a lot of reading.

This method works very well for those of us who have a mix of strong visual and auditory styles.

Students who are primarily kinesthetic learners while weak in visual and auditory learning often feel lost in school.

They may grow up convinced they are stupid, not realizing that they did not receive instruction in a sensory language they could easily understand.

People who are strongly kinesthetic learn best from educational experiences that are “hands-on”, such as apprenticeship programs, or programs that have a high degree of active participation.

If you are very strongly visual, you will do best in classes that emphasize films, videos, visual presentations, and reading.

If you are very strong in auditory learning, you will enjoy classes that teach through lectures, tapes, discussions and debates.

Whenever it’s extremely important that you do well in a particular subject, try to choose educational classes that use a method of instruction compatible with your strongest senses.

If you have one sensory system that seems extremely weak, try to avoid taking classes that use that form of instruction whenever it is really important that you get a good mark in that subject.
