SPOKANE, Wash.--Two brothers accused of running a Spokane County burglary ring accepted a plea deal in court earlier in July.
The men pleaded guilty to multiple residential burglary charges and theft of a firearm. Donald Myhren, 31, was sentenced to 95 months. His brother Dustin, 27, was sentenced to 40 months.
Spokane County Sheriff's Office Investigative Task Force arrested Donald and Dustin Myhren in April 2012 along with Katrina Soto.
Donald was charged with 1st Degree Burglary, 1st Degree Robbery, 1st Degree Theft and Residential Burglary. Dustin, 27, was charged with 1st Degree Burglary, 1st Degree Robbery, Felony Eluding, 1st Degree Theft, Residential Burglary and Possession of a Controlled Substance. Soto has been charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance.
These charges stem from two separate residential burglaries committed in Spokane County.
Dustin will serve about four years as part of the plea deal. His brother is slated to serve seven years.
Detectives believe this group is responsible for several other burglaries in Spokane as well as Stevens County. Detectives will make every effort to return located items to their rightful owners when they are able to release the property.

Elementary Education
Bachelor of Arts Degree Program
College of Education
University of South Carolina
Revised March 2009
The College of Education faculty and staff go to great lengths to provide students all of the information that is necessary to complete its undergraduate programs in a clear and timely manner. However, it is the student's responsibility to thoroughly read all of the information available in handouts, on the College's web site, and in the USC On-line Bulletin. Likewise it is the student's responsibility to maintain accurate and current address, phone and e-mail information both with the Office of Student Affairs in the College of Education, and with the Office of the Registrar.
Any exceptions to the Bachelor of Arts degree requirements in elementary education must be submitted in writing to the Office of Student Affairs, and until and unless a student has received a written response in the affirmative, the exception does not exist.
Electives and University Placement Tests
Incoming freshmen are required to take placement tests in math and in a foreign language. The results of the tests determine specific placement in courses in the two areas. Some students who do not score well in math may find that they are required to enroll in a basic college math course, MATH 111. The B.A. degree in elementary education requires math courses at a higher minimum level, MATH 122. Accordingly, students should expect that any courses required by placement tests are in addition to those in the elementary education degree requirements. With careful planning, students are able to use a course such as MATH 111 to satisfy three of the nine hours of elective study in the elementary degree program.
Likewise, students scoring lower than a two on the foreign language placement test are required to satisfactorily complete equivalent study of foreign language at USC. If required to enroll in foreign language courses, students should be aware that these hours are in addition to the elementary education degree requirements. With careful planning the foreign language courses can be used as electives.
South Carolina Teacher Loan Program (TLP)
Under the current guidelines, South Carolina residents may be eligible
to apply for the TLP during the four years of your baccalaureate degree
program in the College of Education. Please be advised that you must
meet the Praxis I, SAT, or ACT testing requirement for
eligibility. Students are advised to take the Praxis I in their first
semester of enrollment for earliest consideration if SAT or ACT requirement
is not met. For more

Costs play a major role in determining the types of mental health services that are delivered and thus are a key factor in any discussion of the future of mental health services. The author presents some of the available cost data for care provided in three kinds of settings: hospitals; nonhospital settings such as halfway houses, health maintenance organizations, and community mental health centers; and comprehensive community programs. He discusses the methodological and measurement problems in the estimation of costs and the difficulties in comparing costs across settings. He emphasizes the need for cost data that permit accurate and comparable predictions of costs that will assist policymakers in making intelligent choices between types of services.

Knowledge is Real Power
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it." Samuel Jackson
"Knowledge is power." Sir Francis Bacon
There isn't any excuse for your lack of understanding and slow comprehension. Even with learning disabilities like dyslexia and slow absorption of understanding, there IS a cure.
Research shows that learners can make up for their deterred learning and at times perform even better than individuals with high IQ. Here`s why:
Knowledge trumps high IQ:
One can make up for a sharper mind by augmenting human intellect with information. The more knowledgeable and skilled you are the better chances you get to prove your competence!
"Intelligence is overrated. Be knowledgeable!"- Faisal Qureshi
- Catalyst your mind with Information!
Low intellect is NO excuse! Even slow starters can make up for a comparatively average or below average IQ by supplementing their brain with information. Read, learn, be proficient with a skill and use it to your benefit! Data, information, news, you name it; it's knowledge which gives you power!
- Creativity can be sparked by good observation!
Even if you have low aesthetics, you can fine tune your eye with keen observation. Learn to train your eye with what looks good. You want to be appreciable and pleasing? Then see, notice, learn the norms of society as you may not always know about good taste. You don't have to be who you are, be what you "want" to be!
So, no more excuses for you know. Get up and be proactive with life!
Get geared up with skills and knowledge befitting your interest to make the best of your life.

Henry Kissinger Is The American Pol Pot
The War Criminal who engineered the the final stages of the US's genocidal campaign against the people of Vietnam and Cambodia. It has been argued that his directives were responsible for as many deaths in Southeast Asia as the mass exterminations launched by Pol Pot.
He was complicit in the success of many repressive and genocidal regimes, through both explicit and tacit diplomatic approval and both direct and covert material support, including:
- Records show that Kissinger verbally assured Indonesian dictator Suharto that he had full US support for brutally repressing the East Timor independence movement in 1975. The US continued to sell weapons illegally to the authoritarian regime until 1999.
- He also supported the Pakistani army's atrocities in East Pakistan (Bangladesh). In 1971, the American Consul General to East Pakistan alerted both Kissinger and President Nixon to the genocide being committed by Pakistan under the command of dictator Yahya Khan. Kissinger, then Secretary of State, recalled the Consul, continued to pursue an alliance with Yahya and covertly supplied Pakistan with American weapons.
- He was an architect of Operation Condor, a transcontinental program of torture, surveillance and political repression. Organized in the United States in order to suppress political dissent and institute pro-US, authoritarian regimes of terror across Latin America, Operation Condor was the mechanism for the incarceration, deaths and disappearances of thousands.
- He did everything he possibly could to assist and propel Pinochet's 1973 Coup against president Allende in Chile, leading to the wholesale abduction, torture, rape and murder of political activists. Kissinger said he would not allow Allende to be democratically elected president because "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people."
(We would also accept that Henry Kissinger is the American Hitler)

Event Report – OSCON 2012
FOSS in Portland
OSCON always manages to change with the times without giving up the original vision of community and new ideas.
No matter what happens with the server space, the cloud space, the stock market, or the latest round of startup IPOs, once a year there is always OSCON – O'Reilly Media's great US West Coast celebration of open source technologies. Engineers, programmers, system administrators, and other FOSS enthusiasts gathered in Portland, Oregon, USA, on July 16-20 for this year's event.
OSCON has outlived competitors like the LinuxWorld conference because it has always mixed commercial necessity with a genuine understanding of the authentic open source experience. Extra flourishes, like a 5K run and free lunches for expo visitors, added to the holistic ambiance. Some of the mega-vendors, such as Oracle and IBM, who loomed the largest at shows like this a few years ago, were still present but seemed to have a smaller footprint, leaving a more balanced mix of mid-range and still large (though less ostentatious) vendors who told new stories about cloud computing, big data, and tools for mbracing the mobile space.

between Welbeck, Lingard and Giggs on the edge of the penalty area freed Welbeck, who slotted home past Covic to double United's advantage.
It was classic pass-and-move football and a reminder, if fans needed it, of the exciting mix of youth and experience David Moyes has inherited.
That combination was in full effect again just before the break, when Welbeck sold his marker a dummy and spun off him to collect Evra's cushioned return pass. Danny's shot beat Covic in the All Stars goal but trickled agonisingly past the far post.
Michael Keane replaced Rio Ferdinand at the break and almost added a third goal inside five minutes of the restart when he headed over from a corner after Welbeck had again gone close.
It was the home side that found the net next, though, Besart Berisha sneaking a low shot through Keane's legs and inside Lindegaard's right-hand post to make it 2-1.
Three minutes later, United's two-goal cushion was restored courtesy of a cracking finish from Jesse Lingard. The Warrington-born forward, finding himself near the corner of the penalty area, shaped to pass to Evra on the overlap but instead jinked inside and rifled a shot into the far corner.
That prompted Moyes to send on Robin van Persie – much to the crowd's delight – but it was Welbeck who was in the thick of the action again, rounding substitute goalkeeper Michael Theo only to see his shot cleared off the line.
Never mind, though: from the resulting van Persie corner Welbeck rose high to glance home and bag his second of the night.

Men's Health
Gray Anatomy
Coloring gray hair: Does he or doesn't he?
Gray hair, alas, is all but inevitable for most men. But that doesn't mean we have to live with it. Drug store shelves are crowded with hair color products that promise to wash out the gray and restore hair to its youthful hue.
David Cannell, senior vice president of R&D at L'Oreal USA, one of the leading hair products manufacturers, offers some advice in navigating the bewildering number of choices. "For men's products, there have been generally four categories," Cannell says:
- Progressive coloring. The "Grecian Formula" approach uses lead acetate, which darkens with exposure to air. Hair is colored gradually, so you can stop when you've achieved the effect you want.
- Direct dyes. Made of colored molecules that coat hair, these are quick and easy to apply. The drawback: They typically wash away after only 6 to 10 shampoos. On the plus side, that means you don't have to worry about gray roots. The dye is gone before they can show up.
- Semi-permanent color. Also called tone on tone, this uses peroxide to allow color molecules to enter the hair shaft, thus creating a more permanent color. These products usually take 5 to 15 minutes to apply and last about twice as long as direct dyes.
- Regular permanent color. This uses both peroxide and ammonia, which can lighten the natural pigment of hair, allowing men to select shades lighter than their original hair color. These products are also used to create highlights. The drawback: if you don't like the color, you're stuck with it until hair grows out — or you dye it over again, which can be tricky.
DIY vs. professional hair color treatments
When can you do it yourself — and when should you turn to a hair stylist? Off-the-shelf home hair coloring products are fine if you're using color to blend or cover a little bit of gray, Cannell says. But if you have a lot of gray hair, you're likely to get a better result going to a salon.
Even professional hair coloring, of course, isn't forever. When the gray starts to show, you need to reapply color. This may be up to every four weeks if you're pretty gray to begin with.
Is there a cure for gray hair?
Are colored molecules really the best that science can offer? What about basic research into the "gerontobiology of the hair follicle pigmenting unit"? Can't scientists do anything to stop us from going gray in the first place?
Someday, perhaps. "The decoding of the human genome has spurred much research into which genes are responsible for hair structure and coloration," Cannell says. "By learning how the melanocytes are coded to produce pigment, it is conceivable that the process of graying could be halted or delayed."

Chapter One
I plopped a sad glob of guacamole into an exquisite black Art Deco bowl, and I knew. The guacamole would not be right.
In fact, now I was sure, none of the food would be right. Potluck indeed. Too insecure about my cooking to prepare the dinner myself, I had asked everyone to tramp through the January cold with a dish. Now I didn't know what would turn up—sodden casseroles, gluey bean dip, goopy guacamole. Oh, right, the goopy guacamole was mine, the same guacamole that once came in last in a family guacamole-making contest. And my family originated in Scotland. Worse, I had run out of time and left out the jalapeño, and I had forgotten the cilantro completely. And possibly the lime. So the guacamole, at least, would not be right. This party would be lost.
The room would not be right, either. I could see that now, as I placed the bowl on a side table next to the couch and straightened up to scope out the scene. Denise had offered to host in her Upper West Side apartment, one of those classic 1920s buildings with French doors and endless bookshelves and rooms the size of Stockholm. It was the most convenient location for all of us. But now, after arriving early and waiting around for everyone else, I was sure that the living room would not be right for our purpose, the layout a nightmare, too spaced out for any real intimacy. There was a couch, backed up against the wall on one side, facing one lonely armchair along the other. I could picture it now, five of them, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder along that couch, like patients in a waiting room, waiting for bad news, and me in that chair, like Jonathan without his five stages of grief to fall back on, wondering whatever had possessed me to plan this evening.
The people wouldn't be right, either. They were strangers, a real grab bag. I was the only unifying factor. Me. They'd each met me, just once. Some of them twice. I'd collected them haphazardly by asking around, consulting friends and friends of friends. Only now, as Denise was dressing in the bedroom and I plunked down on that couch, sinking, sinking, it began to hit me: These women had practically nothing in common. The youngest was thirty-nine, the oldest fifty-seven. One was a blunt, scary-successful lawyer, one a chatty homemaker, and every postfeminist option in between. Some lived in the city, some in the suburbs. Some had children, some did not.
I reviewed their names in my head, hoping not to botch the introductions: Denise, Dawn, Marcia, Lesley, and Tara. Why had I invited them? There was only one thing they had in common, and that was not the sort of thing guaranteed to light a fire under a party: Every one of them had become a widow in the last couple of years. And that was definitely not right. That was not right at all.
What was I thinking? Why had I tried to orchestrate what would surely be a social debacle on the scale of . . . well, getting kicked out of my widows' support group? I tried to remind myself that this evening had grown out of an idea that hadn't seemed so misguided until a few minutes ago, an idea that grew out of my own confusion and pain and rebuilding when I too became a widow, and what I had learned from all that. What I still hoped to learn.
The idea was pretty straightforward. I would invite these five women, five young widows, to join me once a month for a year. We would meet on Saturday night, the most treacherous shoal for new widows, where untold spirits have sunk into gloom. We would do something together that we enjoyed, starting small—this dinner would certainly qualify—and ending big, maybe a faraway trip. By the end, we would test my theory that together we might find a way to triumph over loss, take off in unexpected directions, and have some fun along the way. There would be setbacks and pain, I supposed. And tears, certainly there would be some tears. But there would be kidding and silliness, too. There would be progress. There would be hugs. No one would be asked to leave.
If nothing else, these women would provide each other with traveling companions past the milestones of this common but profound transition—the first holidays without a mate, the first time taking off the ring, the first time daring to flirt. We would converge at this most vulnerable, weak, and awkward turning point and pledge to each other that this was not an end, it was a beginning.
I also reminded myself that I was basing this project on some actual research. A fair amount of time had passed since I escaped the defeatist vibe at that widows' support group, perhaps a low point in the annals of social services for the bereaved. Four years, in fact. Throughout that interval, I hadn't been able to let go of the conviction that there must be a better way to help people move past heartbreak. I consulted scientists who were beginning to conduct serious research into our natural ability to recover after loss and learned that they were challenging the conventional wisdom. They were finding, to my relief, that the famous five stages were a bunch of hooey. Many of the researchers said that happy experiences with real people can be more helpful than wallowing in old-fashioned support groups based on outdated theories. Jonathan's widows' support group, I had learned, wasn't only bad juju, it was bad science. This new group, I hoped, would be informed by the principles of what most helps those who have become uncoupled: friendship, practical help, openness to new experiences, and laughter.
I was acting on my own intuition, too, gleaned from all the changes I had undergone in those four years. I had kept at it, plotting to start my own widows' group even as my own life evolved in extraordinary ways. It was a long list, but an abridged version might include the following: I met a divorced dad, a writer who lived in another state, and married him a year and a half before this meeting. Quite unexpectedly, I now found myself with a new man, a new home, a new teenage stepdaughter, a new job, and a very old dog with one eye. I had learned that one life doesn't have to end because another one does. Mine continued to offer up surprises, many of them happy ones.
But it's also fair to say that new relationships at this stage of life come wrapped in complications. Wounded as I was by grief, I was still full of doubts, still seeking guidance, still wondering whether I had what it took to work through all the complications—new man, new home, new stepdaughter, new job, and old dog come to mind— that arise from creating a new life when the old one is broken.
So I would be the sixth member of the group that was gathering tonight. More as an observer—at least that was what I thought at the time. Whatever happened, the other widows and I would agree, we'd share it in this book.
We would share our stories, and we would share one story. We couldn't know where it would lead, but I resolved that ours would not be a story of sorrow. No, it would be an adventure story. Not that we'd be paddling through the deepest reaches of the Amazon or scaling the jagged walls of Annapurna, but an adventure story nonetheless. An exploration of life, of new opportunities, of newfound desires—dangerous territory indeed. The story of six women, remaking themselves. Six women seeking new discoveries and new purpose. Six women heading into the unknown, navigating life in extremis.
That was the theory. This was the reality: These women were strangers. They were widows. They were supposed to be sad. They wouldn't like the guacamole.
"Are you nervous?" Denise already knew the answer when she joined me in the living room.
"No. No. Not at all," I lied. "I'm completely confident it's going to be great." When what I really meant was, Would you mind if I step out . . . for the next few hours?
Denise looked at me as if I were a mutt that she wished she could adopt. "I've had other parties here," she said, taking in my dubious expression. "It always works out. People sit on the floor. I'll have my shoes off by the end of the night."
If I was trying to calm myself down, Denise was the person to see. Her allure lay as much in her imperturbable composure as in the well-proportioned harmony of her face and body. Only thirtynine years old, she managed to conceal the grief she was feeling behind a serene mask. Denise was one of those people who practice yoga with the kind of discipline an honors student brings to final exams, and it gave her the grace of a gladiola, tall and true. Even her apartment was hushed, Zen, filled with books. Denise, in fact, was an editor of books, and I could tell that she had applied the measured care of her profession to organizing her library shelves, interspersing classics and current titles with black-and-white photographs taken by her husband. Now that Denise and I were sharing the room, I knew what had been throwing me off about it. This apartment was too spacious for one. Denise's husband was missing. Together, they had been restoring the place and adding furnishings from the 1920s, like reclaimed lamps with shades made of mica, casting soft amber light. I could see his taste. I could feel his absence.
I had shown up at this meeting dressed with no particular effort to impress, in jeans and a black turtleneck, and Denise had put me at ease when she met me at the door in her yoga clothes. Now, minutes later, she'd emerged from the bedroom, still casual, but in ballet flats and a bell-shaped black skirt with a boatneck sweater that showed off her waist. Her fine brown hair was slicked back, wet from a quick shower, her face free of makeup, the better to emphasize her eyes: the wide-set eyes of a sorceress, the pale, ghostly blue of a winter sky. Looking closer, I saw something beneath the surface of those eyes, a subtle expression that seemed to be saying, seemed to be whispering, Help me. It was the look of a tourist lost on an unfamiliar street but too timid to ask for directions. I recognized that look. I'd employed various masks to cover it myself.
On the surface, though, as we waited for the others, Denise radiated thoughtful stillness. Whereas I radiated a sort of toxic anxiety.
Would anybody show? Everyone had confided doubts about walking in on five unknowns with nothing but their stories to share. Who could blame them? Then the bell rang. Fortified by Denise's encouraging smile—a smile informed, no doubt, by all the wisdom of Eastern philosophies that I did not comprehend—I opened the door, and our Saturday night adventure began to unfold.

BECKY AIKMAN IS A graduate of the School of Journalism at Columbia University. Becky Aikman was a writer and editor for Business Week and a reporter for Newsday. She is now a journalist in New York City.
1. When Becky first convenes her group of "renegade widows," she worries that they won't feel a bond because their personalities are so different. Which is more important in forging friendships, similar personalities or shared experiences?
2. Becky and the other Saturday Night Widows hold preconceptions about how they would live after losing their husbands. How do they reconsider those assumptions over the course of the story?
3. How do you think you would proceed if you lost someone close to you? Did your own views change as the story progressed?
4. Becky's visit to psychological researchers introduces her to the idea that there can be more to grief than sadness and pain. Grief can be a process of finding comfort, she is told. "The process can even bring new insight and new joy." Are these ideas illustrated in Becky's journey, and in the journeys of the others in her group?
5. Saturday Night Widows is a true story. What storytelling techniques does Becky use to integrate the narrative of the women's lives and the material she learned from outside research?
6. "I had been half of a whole," Becky says of her marriage, "and now, without that other half, I wasn't certain what was left." She and the others question their identities now that they are alone. To what extent are we defined by the people we know and love? How would we be different without them?
7. The people the group encounters during the course of the story hold varying views about how widows think, act, and feel. An official from the museum suggests that the group would want to view art that depicts death and dying, while the guide Becky hires presents beautiful images like lotus blossoms because they bloom in the mud. How do you think the various characters formed their attitudes?
8. The group tries to reach some "highly invalid and unscientific conclusions" about how widows and widowers differ by inviting a group of men for an evening. What can the men and women learn from each other?
9. The women in the group often talk about feeling guilty when they make choices to move ahead in their lives. "Should you feel liberated?" Tara asks the group. "That you got a second chance? Or should you feel guilty for the sense of liberation you feel?" What is the role of guilt in their progress? Does guilt serve a purpose in recovery from loss, or is it merely destructive, inhibiting any impulse toward growth or pleasure?
10. Becky's dream, in which she is choking on a beautiful bee and then sees her departed husband, makes her aware of the value of memory, both painful and joyful. What is the value of finding this balance after someone has died?
11. Widowhood reminds Becky of adolescence, "a time of uncertainty, of transformation, of trying on new identities." Is this concept frightening? Does it introduce enticing possibilities?
12. The women soon learn that complications—children, careers, habits—make it harder to reinvent themselves at midlife. How do these complications alter the course of each woman's transformation?
13. "This has made me totally fearless," says Lesley. "Because the worst thing that could happen has already happened." Does an awareness of mortality affect the attitudes and decisions of the women in the group?
14. Dawn would like to remarry. "I want my life to be settled!" she says. "No more uncertainty!" Tara resists marriage, saying, "I'm trying to appreciate the lack of knowing." This tension between seeking certainty and embracing the unknown is present for all the women, not only in matters of love. Which way would you lean?
15. When Becky meets a new man, she explains that she is afraid of involvement. "Maybe I am a coward," she tells him. "But cowards are safe." How does falling in love differ for someone experiencing it for the first time versus someone suffering from a devastating loss, whether through death or a broken relationship?
16. Becky takes two trips to places she has never visited before—one on her own, on the water to the Galapagos Islands, and one with the group, through a desert. What contributions do new experiences, including travel, make to her recovery?
17. Would you treat someone who has lost a spouse differently after reading Saturday Night Widows?
18. The book begins with a sad time in the characters' lives. By the end, how did it make you feel?

Do you think that there is a revelation for everyone, a sort of a guideline for (re)designing our lives?
Sometimes, individuals feel that they need some kind of guidelines for continuing with their lives. Several reasons establish an stagnation-like way of living. Maybe you and I were in this situation in any time. It were hard to find a person who really understands our feelings and thoughts about a certain matter. So, we were forced to take crucial decisions by ourselves. But, in some cases, we realized that decisions taken this way were not the ones we should take. Then, we ask to ourselves: "Could we get some kind of revelation in order to feel we are doing 'the right thing' from now on?" What is the nature of this source of revelation? Can we trust this source of revelation? How can we be sure of the value and scope of revelations given? Are revelations only possible inside a theological framework?

Aug 3 2012: Consider auto revelation and epochal revelation.
Auto would be self. Epochal would be for a large number of people over a substantial time frame and likely intend huge benefits for mankind.
What you seem to be asking is of the auto revelation type and you seem to be wondering about its origin.
I viewed the nine suggested presentations. All of them directly relate to human relationships, life improvement, sharing for progress, etc. Is it possible the minds of such people were prepared years in advance for sudden new ideas? Is it possible individuals are being watched and unbeknowingly aided? Seems like a reasonable assumption.
Someone recently asked about equality. We are not equally endowed intellectually, but we can desire to serve and to have good ideas. Capability varies, but effects can be astonishing. Someone several weeks ago asked about intuition. Some people call them "heavenly hunches". Would this be a type of auto revelation?
Revelation. A topic worthy of discussion. If not possible, then why not?
Aug 4 2012: Thanks, Mark, for your clever comment. Maybe I have not realized I was talking about that "auto revelation" as you define it. I thought I was talking about a kind of revelation other than this "auto revelation", and maybe different from "epochal revelation". Consider the following case: One friend of me, call him Jack, was waiting for his girlfriend at a corner. Suddenly, another friend Sam passes in front of him, and goes to say hello to Jack. Then, Sam invites Jack to drink a coup of coffee in at a coffee shop nearby. Jack initially refuses Sam's proposal. Then, suddenly, he changes his viewpoint. He doesn't understand why, because he needs to wait for her girlfriend at the corner. Anyway, he has made the decision to take a break. So, he said, "you have 5 minutes to talk with me, 'cause my girl is coming". Seven seconds away from the corner, when they were about to enter the coffee shop, they were looking back at the corner, for a terrible car crash just happened right there: a truck lost their course and it ran over another man who was exactly over the place Jack was waiting for his girlfriend, just seven seconds ago. You may imagine how Jack was feeling in that moment. What happened there? How revelation came to Jack's brain (or heart)? Maybe all of these have to do with "intuition". But it seems to me that this is not exactly the kind of "auto revelation" as we conceived it here. Indeed, revelation is a topic worthy of discussion. Thanks my friend for your contribution.
Mark Kurtz 20+Aug 9 2012: Ramiro,
I have little experience with such incidents or events you describe. However, I heard from other people who describe strange events. Some people refer to these as Providence in that many agencies of God, angels or other beings may be involved in changing situations. (intervention) Sometimes I doubt this.
What Providence is involved for real crashes with loss of life? Where were the angels when an aircraft crashes or a shuttle craft disintegrates in space? Tough questions and difficult for people who want faith, but are befuddled when their preferences are stolen.
My take is this: there are some protection events for some people for some reason. Why? I don't know. There could be an "event" in the mind causing a person to change decisions. What causes a person to take a different flight and be saved because the intended flight crashed without him on board? These kinds of questions are difficult.
Perhaps we'd be wise to attempt a larger perspective. Maybe life here on Earth is just the start and many new learning opportunities await us. Life ended early here may be a loss, but larger learning provisions are available. Is it really a loss to die here early? Survivors miss family and friends, but we who remain are still limited in the flesh, while those who go on are free of material limitations. Perhaps there is a larger plan for each person. Perhaps, if you accept the idea of Providence, there are personalities waiting on high.
Caution here! We ought not to use ideas of such possibilities as an excuse to terminate! Life lessons are many and strong. Robust character of bravery and courage to deal with challenges is better that looking at the easy way out or to escape.
Linked to revelation as you describe? Not sure at all. Life, experiences, possibilities, watch care, relationships----lots of questions for sure.
Aug 11 2012: Thanks, again, for opening a broad viewpoint about "revelations". The key here is, as you said: "there are some protection events for some people for some reason. Why? I don't know. There could be an "event" in the mind causing a person to change decisions. What causes a person to take a different flight and be saved because the intended flight crashed without him on board? These kinds of questions are difficult". Almost everybody have realized that an "imminent" event did not happened at all, against all odds, because of a rare kind of force intervened somehow and provoked a tremendous change, which at once much people don't even imagine it was such a great change that has happened. In other words, an event's "wave function" has not collapsed in a "soft" way, as almost everybody were waiting to happen. This is the kind of cause I was trying to say as a "revelation". Now, what causes this "discrete decaying" of an event's "wave function" is the real question to be solved. Another question linked to that one is: why sometimes there exists a "shift" in an event for taking place in one way and not the other? why do people think this is a matter of chance? So, what is "chance"? Why some people are "lucky" and why the rest of the world look at those people as a little suspicious? It's worth to take a look at this questions some time. Thanks, Mark, for putting the question in this "revealing" form.
Aug 12 2012: Ramiro, I don't believe there is anything that happens by chance in this world. Everything happens for a purpose, which usually is to help us, by giving us a head's up, to acknowledge the existence of a spiritual world. Life and living is a spiritual activity, It also shows that Someone is in charge who hopes we make the right decision while using our freewill.
The moment when our body dies is determined based on where we can be most useful, in this life or the next. That is the subject of this talk.
One thing to say is "we are a spirit in a body", but that does not say or explain much. This book does explain what it means to be a spirit in a spiritual (parallel) world.
What happens to us may also be easier explained if we accept the idea that this life, our life, has a purpose, and that the primary purpose is not about comfort or wealth or old age. We are what we love, so most important in our life is what we decide to love. What we make our ruling love.
But I think I have left enough links for now :)
