  1. "Through qigong we integrate and harmonize our whole being - from our ancient evolutionary past - and thereby we also overcome our deep fears and we restore deep energy abilities, like regeneration and spirit travel, seeing the future, seeing inside objects, etc."

    Ancient evolutionary past... and restore deep energy abilities... ?

    To restore, meaning that these things were previous to ... "evolutionary past"

    Like saying this reptilian thing was a later edition/ corruption of the mammalian ... we have to bypass the reptilian to restore the mammalian... though apparently the reptilian predates... so how can it be restore

    is this an unconscious understanding of DNA manipulation ?

    Could the change in DNA occur by means of reptilian behaviors like eating flesh.


  2. I believe all aspects of the body play some part all important in their own ways.

    The removal of wisdom teeth seems bizarre to me generally (like that of healthy teeth)

    It is accepted that babies have teething pain which is considered necessary... people don't start removing baby teeth because of this...

    Yet when adults experience pain related to wisdom teeth coming in they get them removed...

    A friend had a somewhat traumatic experience with the removal of the tooth... which furthered my interest in it.

    Quick search

     

    Wisdom teeth are connected through acupuncture meridians to our small intestine and the front of our pituitary gland. (F3) They are connected to our central nervous system through the trigeminal nerve, which explains why people could experience serious side effects from wisdom tooth removal.

     

     

     

    (NaturalNews) A report by dentist Jay Friedman in the American Journal of Public Health reveals that 67 percent or more of preventative wisdom teeth removals are unnecessary. The article explains that most of the pain and illness surrounding wisdom teeth are not caused by the teeth themselves as one would expect, but rather the symptoms come from the surgery that removes the wisdom teeth.

  3. Thanks Manitou :)

    Hmm, I have read the Tao Te Ching some years ago in full.

    I don't recall reversion precisely

    I do like aspects of it... "He who conquers himself" etc what good leadership is etc.

    I am more toward eternal progression, an infinity of creative expression and individuality, I enjoy the vibrancy of Nature and its many forms and the evolution of these forms ... rather than a regression or "return" ... it may be like an adult human wishing to return to its mothers womb... I can't see this as natural/ desirable... maybe it is some spiritual fear to leave the nest.

    For me the Tao, is tapping into our own infinite potential/ Consciousness ... this is being in "the flow" ... which allows great creative expression/ manifestation/ physical feats.... rather than return to the seed consciousness we become a tree of consciousness...development... in nature the givers of life desire for their offspring to be healthy and powerful a progression of themselves.

    Individuality within community/ culture/ nature/ environment/ though - the consideration of the greater being.

    Perhaps team sports are a good example, a team is made up of individuals with certain strengths/ weaknesses etc and the teams plays those advantages to their overall success.

    The team also has to know their environment to be successful / natural laws

    Then we have humanity as a team. In which I believe the best expressions of the "individuals" peoples should be celebrated as part of the vibrancy of life each having something unique to contribute.





  4. Wi-Fi can now be harnessed and converted into energy; the health effects of the ubiquitous signals are still a cause for concern among many.

     

    A high school project threw oil on the burning international debate about the adverse health and environmental effects of Wi-Fi radiation.

     

    After 12 days of Wi-Fi radiation from two routers, garden cress seeds turned out stunted, dead, or mutated (showing genetic defects not present before the trial). By contrast, a control group of 200 seeds with the same conditions but no Wi-Fi radiation flourished. The study was conducted by students at Hjallerup high school in Denmark and made headlines in May.

    As the experiment was conducted by high school students and not professional scientists, it cannot be considered scientific proof, noted Hjallerup biology teacher Kim Horsevad in an email to the Epoch Times.

     

    Horsevad said, “The results do, however, demonstrate a great deal of internal consistency.” He also said, “The pupils have, to the fullest extent possible with the resources available at this educational level, designed the experiment to study only one variable.”

     

    A top European expert on the subject, neuroscience professor Olle Johanssen at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, will likely soon repeat the experiment, Horsevad said.

     

    In 2009, Austrian Health insurance company AUVA released a study linking Wi-Fi to adverse health effects, including cancer, reduced fertility, decreased ability to concentrate, and disturbed sleep. AUVA showed radiation levels well below the standard limits could impact the central nervous system, immune system, and protein synthesis.

     

    The effects mostly occur in metabolically active cells (growing cells), which means children are at a higher risk.

     

    The body uses electromagnetic signals to communicate between cells, organs and tissues. The radiation overlaps and interferes with the body’s internal communication, hence the havoc.

     

    Many schools worldwide have adopted anti-Wi-Fi policies, and many countries—France, Canada, and India, for example—and have adopted anti-Wi-Fi measures and laws. The European Union passed an anti-WIFI resolution in May 2011.

     

    WiFi was not tested before its release in 1997, because it uses an unlicensed part of the radio spectrum. Back then, radiation safety regulations focused only on thermal radiation effects, according to electromagnetic-pollution.com. So Wi-Fi was deemed safe since it did not exceeded radiation levels that result in thermal heating.

     

    In the United States, the highest level of radiation allowed for cellular phones is 1.6 watts per kilogram. The AUVA report showed, however, that damage can occur at a level of 0.1 watts per kilogram.

  5. Gandhi is not who you think he is

    Addressing a public meeting in Bombay on Sept. 26 1896 (CW II p. 74), Gandhi said:

    Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.

    In 1904, he wrote (CW. IV p. 193):

    It is one thing to register natives who would not work, and whom it is very difficult to find out if they absent themselves, but it is another thing -and most insulting -to expect decent, hard-working, and respectable Indians, whose only fault is that they work too much, to have themselves registered and carry with them registration badges.

    You appear to be selective in what crimes happened throughout history and who was responsible.

    When it comes to the crimes of others you dismiss them as being irrelevant or due to their "humanness"

    Apparently "white people" are to be held to a higher standard and judged more harshly for the same crimes others all over the planet have been committing since aeons.

    Who are "white people" ? you seek to annihilate "white people" (under the guise of "One") because of the actions of the British government/ a handful Merchants/ International Bankers?

    People such as Alan Greenspan Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006.?

    alan_greenspan_02_2010.jpg


    ... 99% of "white people" being as enslaved physically and mentally (Judeo-Christianity + Mass Media) at different times... today with debt slavery, heavy taxation + sex slavery of East-European women in the Middle East

    You said:


    I'm not putting down the entire white race; I merely see a dynamic that continues to play out in our lifetimes; I see the evolution of the human race as ultimately reverting to the One, as it says in the TTC. This being the case, and if this is really so, then these separations and stratifications within society are going to have to be resolved at some point in time.

     


    This is just a subtle way of advocating genocide of all peoples. Do you believe all birds should become "One" ? What a dull world that would be...

    I am not sure about the obsessions with "oneness", reminds me of the Borg and hive minds.

    "Resistance is futile" .... "You will be assimilated" haha

    Nature from my observation has been becoming more complex, more diverse, more colorful ...

    Yet you speak of a regression of the creative powers of nature to create some "utopian" nothingness, without distinction... something like the moon or other dead planet without distinction you may find homely (oneness, without distinction) ... a "humanity" similar to the "grey aliens" (maybe that is the future you are working towards)

    Which is communist ideology whose ideals are the destruction of tradition, culture, family etc (government becomes the family etc) peoples in general... the purpose being uprooted peoples, peoples without an identity are easily controlled/ enslaved... a tree without roots will fall. Communism is a Capitalistic system, funded by Wall Street etc.

    Communism has killed 200+ Million odd people globally to achieve its "perfect world" ... each time a total nightmare.

    Cultural Marxism pervades mass media and "education" ...

    Yuri Bezmenov ex KBG agent called it subversion/ psychological warfare








  6. "every one of us derives the benefits of what the slaves built."

    Does that include Irish slaves?

     

    From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.

    During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

    British children?

     

    During the 19th century working-class children were often employed in factories and on farms. For many families, it was more important for a child to bring home a wage than to get an education. The combination of dangerous working conditions and long hours meant that children were worked as hard as any adult, but without laws to protect them. Children were cheaper to employ than adults, and easier to discipline. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/citizenship/struggle_democracy/childlabour.htm

     


    Taxation? Debt Slavery to International Banks? etc

    Psalm 2:8 KJV Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

    Psalm 2:9 KJV Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

     

    Isaiah 49:23 KJV And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

     

    Jewish views on slavery are varied both religiously and historically. Judaism's religious texts contain numerous laws governing the ownership and treatment of slaves. Texts that contain such regulations include the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), the Talmud, the 12th century Mishneh Torah by noted rabbi Maimonides, and the 16th century Shulchan Aruch by rabbi Yosef Karo. The original Israelite slavery laws found in the Hebrew Bible bear some resemblance to the 18th century BCE slavery laws of Hammurabi.[1] The regulations changed over time. The Hebrew Bible contained two sets of laws, one for Canaanite slaves, and a more lenient set of laws for Hebrew slaves. From the time of the Pentateuch, the laws designated for Canaanites were applied to all non-Hebrew slaves. The Talmud's slavery laws, which were established in the second through the fifth centuries C.E.,[2] contain a single set of rules for all slaves, although there are a few exceptions where Hebrew slaves are treated differently from non-Hebrew slaves. The laws include punishment for slave owners that mistreat their slaves. In the modern era, when the abolitionist movement sought to outlaw slavery, supporters of slavery used the laws to provide religious justification for the practice of slavery.



    I was reading from an old Irish poet Aindrias Mac Marcais:

    Gan gaire fa ghniomhradh leinbh ...

    There is no laughter at children's doings. Music is prohibited, the Irish language is in chains.

    Destruction of indigenous European peoples + traditions... going back 2000 odd years... forgotten

    Loss of people + destruction (+rewriting) history/ knowledge + culture, slavery

    Typically at the hands of Monotheists (in large scales)

    //

    Sex slavery of European women... ongoing (in particular East-Euro)

    The Arab slave trade was the practice of slavery in the Arab world, mainly in Western Asia, North Africa, Southeast Africa, the Horn of Africa and certain parts of Europe (such as Iberia and Sicily) beginning during the era of the Arab conquests and continuing through the 19th century.[1] The trade was focused on the slave markets of the Middle East, North Africa and the Horn of Africa. Slaves were of varied race, ethnicity, and religion.[2]

    During the 8th and 9th centuries of the Fatimid Caliphate, most of the slaves were Europeans (called Saqaliba) captured along European coasts and during wars.[3] Historians estimate that between 650 and 1900, 10 to 18 million people were enslaved by Arab slave traders and taken from Europe, Asia and Africa across the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Sahara desert.[4]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_slave_trade

     

     

    Slavery in Spain can be traced to the times of the Greeks, Phoenicians and Romans. In the 800s the Muslim Moorish rulers and local Jewish merchants traded in Spanish and East European Christian slaves. Christian Spain began to trade slaves in the 1400s and this trade reached its peak in the 16th century.

    Christian slavery in Spain

    During the Al-Andalus period of Spain, in what is also known as Moorish Iberia, there was significant Muslim control over much of the Iberian peninsula or what is now Spain. The Moors (Iberian and North African Muslims) imported white Christian slaves into Muslim Spain in varying degrees from the 8th century until the Reconquista in the late 15th century. The slaves were exported from the Christian section of Spain, as well as Eastern Europe by Jewish slave traders, sparking significant reaction from many in Christian Spain and many Christians still living in Muslim Spain. The Iberian peninsula served as a base for further exports of slaves into other Muslim regions in Northern Africa.[4]

     

     

    Slavery In Africa

    Multiple forms of slavery and servitude have existed throughout Africa during history and were shaped by indigenous practices of slavery as well as the Roman institution of slavery (and the later Christian views on slavery), the Islamic institutions of slavery, and eventually the Atlantic slave trade.[6] Slavery existed in parts of Africa (like the rest of the world) and was a part of the economic structure of some societies for many centuries, although the extent varied.[6]Ibn Battuta who visited the ancient kingdom of Mali in the mid-14th century recounts that the local inhabitants view with each other in the number of slaves and servants they have, and was himself given a slave boy as a "hospitality gift."[7] In sub-Saharan Africa, the slave relationships were often complex with rights and freedoms given to individuals held in slavery and restrictions on sale and treatment by their masters.[8] Many communities had hierarchies between different types of slaves: for example, differentiating between those who had been born into slavery and those who had been captured through war.[9]

    "The slaves in Africa, I suppose, are nearly in the proportion of three to one to the freemen. They claim no reward for their services except food and clothing, and are treated with kindness or severity, according to the good or bad disposition of their masters. Custom, however, has established certain rules with regard to the treatment of slaves, which it is thought dishonourable to violate. Thus the domestic slaves, or such as are born in a man’s own house, are treated with more lenity than those which are purchased with money. ... But these restrictions on the power of the master extend not to the care of prisoners taken in war, nor to that of slaves purchased with money. All these unfortunate beings are considered as strangers and foreigners, who have no right to the protection of the law, and may be treated with severity, or sold to a stranger, according to the pleasure of their owners."

    Mungo Park, Travels in the Interior of Africa v. II, Chapter XXII – War and Slavery.

    In many African societies, there was very little difference between the free peasants and the feudal vassal peasants. Enslaved people of the Songhay Empire were used primarily in agriculture; they paid tribute to their masters in crop and service but they were slightly restricted in custom and convenience. These non-free people were more an occupational caste.[4]

    Slavery in African cultures was generally more like indentured servitude, although in certain parts of sub-Saharan Africa, slaves were used for human sacrifices in annual rituals, such as those rituals practiced by the denizens of Dahomey.[10] Slaves were often not the chattel of other men, nor enslaved for life.[11]

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa

     

     

    In a fascinating essay reviewing this controversy, R. Halliburton shows that free black people have owned slaves "in each of the thirteen original states and later in every state that countenanced slavery," at least since Anthony Johnson and his wife Mary went to court in Virginia in 1654 to obtain the services of their indentured servant, a black man, John Castor, for life.

    And for a time, free black people could even "own" the services of white indentured servants in Virginia as well. Free blacks owned slaves in Boston by 1724 and in Connecticut by 1783; by 1790, 48 black people in Maryland owned 143 slaves. One particularly notorious black Maryland farmer named Nat Butler "regularly purchased and sold Negroes for the Southern trade," Halliburton wrote. http://www.theroot.com/articles/history/2013/03/black_slave_owners_did_they_exist.html


  7. Very good! :)

    Thanks

    ... I can experience the perfume of roses + the taste of oranges and so on... when I put my mind to it...

    We are ultimately self perpetuating beings without need for any external ...

    .. the foods we consume are light in different forms.... the closer to the source the more light ... til you absorb light itself... and from there...

    Light is Consciousness.

    Trees I believe are one of the greatest intelligences in the universe.... the Cosmic Tree ;)

    What a powerful being... turning light into... all the fruits of the earth.... and wondrous visions... flowers and perfumes.... by the power of light and water....

    The Tree/ plants give us much, I appreciate them very much... it saddens me to think of building and cutting trees... I have to find a way around this.

    I have been fruitarian the past 4 days. Living from the fruits of trees, what they offer we humans to live.... and truly live....


    The next step is direct Light... all in good time...

    ;):D




  8. “Every night (and sometimes during the day), when alone, I would start out on my journeys - see new places, cities and countries - live there, meet people and make friendships and acquaintances and, however unbelievable, it is a fact that they were just as dear to me as those in actual life and not a bit less intense in their manifestations. This I did constantly until I was about seventeen when my thoughts turned seriously to invention. Then I observed to my delight that I could visualize with the greatest facility. I needed no models, drawings or experiments. I could picture them all as real in my mind.”

    I have:40% Earth, 37% Wood, 15% Fire, 6% Water. 2% Metal

    Thanks for the links Andrei!

    How does this work for other animals who as a whole eat the same few things and are of good health?

  10. How many people today are fathers of many fields...?

    "Hype" - You said it yourself "he's a father* of many fields"

    Seems a contradiction to me.

    Maybe you would like to address some of these theories in more detail?

    "Conspiracies" as a dismissive tends to get thrown around a lot without supporting evidence.

    collusion, intrigue, connivance, machination, collaboration

    Are you saying these things do not exist? hahahahah


  11. Thought is faster than light.

    Do you mean, say with electricity some frequencies? can kill while others are harmless and even said to heighten consciousness (as per work of Tesla)?

    Some information regarding natural and artificial light.

    Doctor Alexander Wunsch, (German Lighting Engineering Society + International Society for Subtle Energies and Energy Medicine (ISSSEEM)) on biological interaction with light.

     

    The eye is definitely not the only receptive organ for light. Human skin is transparent to light.Even short wave-lengths like UV radiation reach the capillary layers and the blood inside these delicate vessels. All the pigments and molecules with chromophoric groups in our body absorb and emit photons. Each single atom has the attribute we could call photonic metabolism. Photons are the language in which all matter communicates; every jump (change of energy level) of an electron is a accompanied by photonic activity. The specific composition of sunlight as well as the properties of the atmospheric layers play important roles for the life-aiding qualities of natural light. Under today’s view-point we have to suspect that every aberration from these properties make artificial lighting potentially dangerous for health.

     

    The implications of Malillumination:

     

    Titoff, 1999: "There was a statistically significant difference between the students who worked under old-style fluorescent lights and those who worked under full-spectrum, visually-efficient lighting." This controlled study verified that depression was lowered among those students who experienced learning under full-spectrum lighting. Depression actually increased under standard fluorescent lights among the fourth graders. As an elementary school principal William Titoff conducted research for his Ph.D. dissertation and discovered that when the project was completed teachers with the full-spectrum lighting refused to put back the old-style fluorescent bulbs.

    Harmon, l938 found that over 4000 children developed observable deficiencies associated with Malillumination. In the late 1940's conditions of the learning environment (lighting, seating and decor) were instituted in schools, resulting in the following student improvements: 65% reductionin visual difficulties, 47.8% decline in nutritional problems, 43.3% reduction in chronic infections, 25.6% reduction in postural problems and, finally, 55.6% decline in chronic fatigue. (Laurence D. Martel)


    Increased exposure to fluorescent light and cancer risk:

    Energy saving lamps emit UV-B and traces of UV-C radiation. It is generally recognized that UV- radiation is harmful for the skin (e.g. skin cancer) and the eyes (e.g. cataract). UV-C radiation, which is normally not observed in nature because it is absorbed completely in the atmosphere,is especially harmful. Several studies have found that fluorescent lights raise the risk for skin cancer . (Lytle, 1992)

    The following results were obtained in a 2 year pilot study by S.L Gabby MD, determining the relationship between artificial light and its effects on C3H mice (highly prone to tumour development, 98% of males and females normally spontaneously develop breast cancer):

    Type of Light No. of pairs of C3H mice

    A. Pink fluorescent 30 pairs

    29 female mice developed cancer – the other died of liver problems. Females died 1 month earlier than those in Group B. 1-2 offspring per litter, instead of 6-15.

    B. Daylight-white fluorescent 30 pairs

    24 of 30 female mice developed cancer – 2 other females died of liver problem. Able to breed 2 months longer than A. Also had larger litters than A.

    C. Daylight through windows into basement room 8 pairs (used as control)

    Developed cancer 3 months after Group A, and 2 months after Group B 2 pairs of 8 pairs carcinoma free at time of report.

    In a similar study, using over 2,000 C3H mice J.N. Ott demonstrated the link between light and mortality rate from spontaneous tumour development, as below:

    Type of Light Average Lifespan of C3H Mice

    Pink fluorescent 7.5 months

    Daylight white fluorescent 8.2 months

    Full-spectrum plastic glazing 15.6 months

    Natural outdoor daylight 16.1 months

    At the 1967, International Committee on Illumination (C.I.E.) in Washington D.C three Russian scientists; Dantsig, Lazarev and Sokolov presented a paper stating that:

    If human skin is not exposed to solar radiation (direct or scattered) for long periods of time, disturbances will occur in the physiological equilibrium of the human system. The result will be functional disorders of the nervous system and a vitamin-D deficiency, a weakening of the body's defenses, and an aggravation of chronic diseases (Ott, 1986)

    It was also noted by F. Hollwich and B. Dieckhues (1980), ‘The Effect of Natural and Artificial Light Via the Eye on the Hormonal and Metabolic Balance of Animal and Man’, Opthalmologia 180, No.4, pp. 188-197, Raised levels of ACTH and cortisol (indicators of stress) were found as a result of exposure to cool-white fluorescent lights, in addition to reducing immune system functioning, and mental performance. Raised stress levels can also stunt children’s growth. Cool-white Fluorescent tubes were legally banned in some German medical institutions.

    A partial listing of health problems and social problems that fluorescent light have been implicated as aggravating is given below: (H.E.S.E Project, 2012)

    Radiation is a broad term used to describe energy emanated in the form of waves or particles. Radiation in the form of waves is referred to as electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation of sufficient energy can cause atoms to become electrically charged, or ionized, and is referred to as ionizing radiation. Lower energy electromagnetic radiation is referred to as non-ionizing radiation. All electromagnetic radiation combined can be represented in an array known as the electromagnetic spectrum.

    Electromagnetic radiation emanates from both natural and man-made sources. Examples of naturally occurring electromagnetic radiation include sunlight, cosmic rays, and radioactive materials in the earth's crust. Man-made sources of ionizing electromagnetic radiation include X-rays from medical and radiographic equipment, therapeutic and diagnostic radiochemicals, and nuclear power. Man-made sources of non- ionizing radiation include lasers, radar, television and radio broadcasting, communication systems such as cordless and cellular telephone systems, household appliances, and computer monitors.

    Electromagnetic Radiation Emissions

    With the exception of visible light, computer monitors emit electromagnetic radiation as a consequence of their technology, and not of design intention. Specific divisions of the electromagnetic spectrum associated with monitors have been investigated for electromagnetic radiation field intensities and possible biological effects. The divisions of the electromagnetic spectrum that have been examined, in descending order of energy, are:

    Ionizing Radiation

    X-rays: X-rays are produced inside a monitor's cathode ray tube (CRT) when electrons flow (in a beam) towards the screen, striking the inner surface, causing it to glow. Television screens work by the same principle. The units are designed and shielded such that levels of X-ray emission do not exceed federal limits, and are most often not measurable above natural background radiation.

    Non-Ionizing Radiation

    Ultraviolet [uV]: The intensity of UV radiation emitted from monitors is lower than that from fluorescent lights, and much lower than that from the sun.

    Visible Light: The intensity of visible light from most monitors can be controlled by the user. The highest intensity achievable cannot produce detrimental biological effects.

    Infrared [iR]: IR is perceived by the body as warmth. The intensity of IR emitted from monitors is barely distinguishable above background. Radiofrequency [RF], including Microwave [MW]: Certain broadband RF electro-magnetic fields may be produced by electronic clocks and digital equipment playing host to the monitor. Measured levels are indistinguishable above background.

    Very Low Frequency [VLF] and Extremely Low Frequency [ELF]: Circuits within the monitor are responsible for the horizontal (left-to-right) and vertical (top-to-bottom) movement of the electron beam. This movement occurs tens of thousands of times each second (considered VLF) for the horizontal scan, and 50-60 times each second (considered ELF) for the vertical scan. The VLF and ELF field intensities have been extensively evaluated in many different models of monitors. The measured field intensities vary greatly between manufacturers and even models of the same manufacturer.

    The MIT Radiation Protection Program (RPP) has measured electromagnetic field intensities from representative models of several manufacturers of monitors in use at MIT. Information on particular models is available from the RPP at x3-EHSS.

    Concerns
    Computer monitor users have expressed concerns about the possible health effects from the electromagnetic radiation that monitors produce. The concerns generally center around adverse pregnancy outcome (spontaneous abortion or birth defects). It has been postulated that these effects are due to electromagnetic radiation exposure from monitors. The biological effects of exposure to VLF and ELF fields similar to those produced by monitors have been studied for many years, and the research continues today. Cancer and reproductive outcomes are the topics studied most intensively. Current available scientific information does not identify a health risk from exposure to the electromagnetic fields associated with the use of computer monitors.

    Summary

    Computer monitors emit electromagnetic radiation in a broad range of frequencies. Although the electromagnetic radiation field intensities are measurable, they are not substantially above background office levels. The effect on health from the use of monitors has been studied for many years, and the research continues. The present consensus of experts is that there are no data to suggest a health risk from exposure to the electromagnetic fields associated with the use of monitors.

    High level exposure to ELF (extremely low frequency) magnetic fields affect the function of the pineal gland and reduces production of the hormone, melatonin. Continuous exposure leads to:

    • Insomnia
    • Breast/prostate cancer
    • prostate enlargement
    • fatigue
    • depression
    • irregular menstrual cycle
    • PMS
    • Scoliosis
    • Anxiety
    • sensitivity to stress
    • cataracts
    • neurodegerative disorder (MS, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, ALS, etc)
    • elevated cholesterol
    • high blood pressure
    • blood clots
    • heart attack
    • heart arrhythmias

  13. vajra chains?

    hmm

     

     

     

    Vajra chains – “Indestructible chains of light, reality or awareness”.

    It is described as strings of connected Thigle that make up the various forms of so-called ‘external’ objects of reality.

    According to the Buddha Brats expression of Dzogchen, the exact form and experience of the Vajra Chains may differ from person to person depending on their cultural or personal predilection. For example, Adamas experiences them as a combination of DNA-like structures with some type of runes embedded in them. For Anri it takes on the form of cellular structures similar to that of plants, animals or people. It is uncertain at this point whether the Vajra chains stay the same in appearance to each person, or whether it evolves with time and increased insight.

    Once again it is imperative to remember that everything seen as ‘out there’ is merely a projection of the ‘self’ onto the screen of space so the Vajra chains are in essence a visual experience of ones own true Natural State.

    Tao of Jeet Kune Do, he wrote

     

    Training is one of the most neglected phases of athletics. Too much time is given to the development of skill and too little to the development of the individual for participation. ... JKD, ultimately is not a matter of petty techniques but of highly developed spirituality and physique.

     

     

    According to Linda Lee Cadwell, soon after he moved to the United States, Lee started to take nutrition seriously and developed an interest in health foods, high-protein drinks and vitamin and mineral supplements. He later concluded that in order to achieve a high-performance body, one could not fuel it with a diet of junk food, and with "the wrong fuel" one's body would perform sluggishly or sloppily.[49]

     

     

     

    I don't advocate "high-protein drinks and vitamin and mineral supplements"

     

    But the general idea is good

     

    high performance vehicle requires high performance fuels :D

     

    Maybe there are better examples
