As part of an overall campaign to change American's beliefs from the Christian worldview to the Luciferic Pagan worldview, Time Magazine features articles on the 'effectiveness' of physical healing produced by 'Spiritualism'. This is just another propaganda effort to change American's attitudes and beliefs to the counterfeit Luciferic system, preparing us to accept the claims of their New Age Christ. You can truly see the progress toward this new system in news articles like this one! Time is definitely getting short.
The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!
Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones!
Stand by for insights so startling
you will never look at the news the same way again.
NEWSBRIEF: "Faith & Healing: Can prayer, faith, and spirituality really improve your physical health? A growing and surprising body of scientific evidence says they can ", Time Magazine, June 24, 1996, Vol. 147, No. 26, p. 58-68.
My first reaction to the title of this feature article was, 'Good, finally, the power of Biblical faith and the power of prayer to heal body and soul are finally going to get some good press'. My illusions were shattered by the first paragraph, and I quickly realized that the 'spiritual power' they were promoting was NOT Biblical prayer power, but a New Age counterfeit. My thoughts went immediately to Johanna Michaelson's masterful book on counterfeit occultic healing, "The Beautiful Side of Evil", a book from which we shall be quoting later on. In quick summary, this article was simply another salvo in the bombastic campaign the New World Order is waging to move American's spiritual beliefs away from the Truth of the Bible and toward the counterfeit New Age Luciferianism. Such a move is critically important to their Plan to stage the appearance of their New Age Christ, whom they sometimes even call Antichrist. Now, let us examine this article in depth, because we can learn much from it.
"Draped in embroidered cloth, laden with candles, redolent with roses and incense, the altar at the Sante Fe, New Mexico, home of Eetla Soracco seems an unlikely site for cutting-edge medical research. Yet, every day for10 weeks, ending last October, Soracco spent an hour or more there as part of a controlled study in the treatment of AIDS. Her assignment: to pray for five seriously ill patients in San Francisco."
"Soracco, an Estonian-born 'healer' who draws on Christian, Buddhist, and Native American traditions …" Let us stop here for a moment, because this portion has just told us a great deal. We have just been told that all religions of the world have 'spiritual' insights into healing the body and spirit. This woman, who is obviously New Age, draws upon the traditions of Christianity, Buddhism, and even Native American Indians. By implication, she has learned equally from all of these religions. This worldview fits in very nicely with the New World Order Plan to stage Antichrist. The Antichrist is going to say that all religions of the world have something to offer mankind in the realm of spiritual insight. He is going to further say that, he is the master of all the world's religions, and in him all mankind can find common spiritual meeting ground. But, the Antichrist is going to say, once he unites all of mankind's spiritual beliefs in himself, that he is going to begin to teach a higher spirituality designed to raise man's 'level of consciousness' to a height never before obtainable, nor even imaginable. Of course, this 'new level' of spiritual consciousness is planned to be the worship of Antichrist as God. People all over this world will fall for this lie hook, line, and sinker, never realizing they have been duped by the greatest con man the world has ever seen.
But, the key to this Plan, in the here and now, is to convince the vast majority of the world's peoples that all religions are essentially the same. This Time Magazine article offers this point of view masterfully, speaking from Time's lofty pedestal of respect, to which most Americans view its journalism. As in NEWS1046, this article is written according to the precepts of the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan. If you do not know how this attitudinal change plan works, we urge to download NEWS1046 to understand it before you proceed here any further. But, now let us return to our article, backing up just a bit to ensure smooth transition.
"Soracco, an Estonian-born 'healer' who draws on Christian, Buddhist, and Native American traditions, did not know the people for whom she was praying. All she had were their photographs, first names, and, in some cases, T-cell counts. Picturing a patient in her mind, she would ask for 'permission to heal' and then start to explore his body in her mind. 'I looked at all the organs as though it is an anatomy book. I could see where things were distressed. These areas are usually dark and murky. I go in there like a white shower and wash it all out.' Soracco was instructed to spend one hour a day in prayer, but the sessions often lasted twice as long. 'For that time', she says, 'it's as if I know the person.'"
This is nothing more than the occult belief that all reality is created by the mind, that the mind can create its own reality, and that it can alter existing reality. In this case, the 'existing reality' is the AIDS disease in these people. As any occultist, Soracco believes she can enter their bodies with her mind — defying the laws of physics — see the disease, and then wash the diseased cells out of her mind, using her occult power of meditation and prayer. This scenario is precisely what Ruth Carter Stapleton, President Jimmy Carter's sister, told the news media about how she cured herself of her cancer. She meditated, saw the cancer cells in her body, and destroyed them with her mind. A few weeks later, Ruth Carter Stapleton was dead, of cancer.
At this point, I want to depart from this article, to see how Johanna Michaelsen was taught this spiritual healing via visualization. Later, God mightily intervened in Johanna's mind and heart, to show her the falsity of occult healing and bring her into Salvation through Jesus Christ. But, in the period of her life from which we will quote, Johanna was thoroughly deceived, and was an enthusiastic follower of the New Age occult.
Johanna recounts her original training in occult Mind Control, which prepared her to become a 'spiritual healer', just like Ms Soracco in this Time article. Johanna's teacher said, "The whole purpose of Mind Control is to train people to gain control over the more stable Alpha brain waves to help them become more superior human beings. The producing of phenomena not common to most of us at ordinary levels will be your final proof that you are indeed gaining mastery … You will learn to tap into those deep levels of mind at will for any purpose you desire, as long as it is beneficial to yourself or mankind."
This statement shows the 'White Magic' belief that upholds this entire occult endeavor. Any person who wants to learn how to harness this occult power must first promise that he or she will always use this power to the 'benefit' of all mankind. They must never, ever use their knowledge of the occult to 'hurt' mankind. You see, all occultists believe that anyone can use their knowledge of the occult to either help or hurt mankind. If he uses this power to help, he is following the 'Right-hand Path'; if he uses this power to hurt mankind, he is following the 'Left-hand Path'. Thus, when Adolf Hitler burst onto the world scene in the early 1930's, occultists the world over were very excited because they were expecting the 'Great One' to appear in 1933. But, then Hitler chose his symbol for his Nazi Party, and the New World Order he envisioned. He selected the Swastika, an ancient occult symbol the world over, including India and Asia. However, Hitler inverted the arms of the Swastika, making it into an 'evil', Left-hand Path symbol. Every occultist knew instantly that Hitler planned to use his powers of the occult for evil, not 'good'.
New Age authors have expressed the same concern over the coming Christ. They are worried that, once he has successfully staged his appearance, and has the enthusiastic support of the peoples of the world, he will be tempted to turn selfishly into the 'evil' Left-hand Path. And, the Bible does teach that the world will not realize the true nature of the evil of Antichrist until the mid-point of the 7-year Tribulation Period, when he goes into the new Temple to declare himself God, demanding the world worship him. At that point, the Antichrist will begin his world wide campaign to kill everyone who does not worship him, beginning with the Jews and Christians.
Now, back to Johanna Michaelsen's training to be a spiritual 'healer'. Through Mind Control, beginning with Controlled Relaxation via Meditation, Johanna learned to improve her memory and recall, but more importantly, to control physical pain and bleeding at will.
Do not be deceived about the effectiveness of Luciferic power over the mind and body of the unsaved. It works. I have been greatly alarmed and troubled that Americans seem to have accepted this as the only premise upon which they believe in something, or will practice something. Our society used to pass everything through the standards of Scripture, so that if the Bible says we are not to do something, we do not do it. But, lately, the only acceptable premise seems to be whether it works or not. Satan is supernatural; he is not God, but he is supernatural. His power and intelligence are tremendously greater than us, poor humans. If God does not specifically intervene to stop Satan from a particular course of action, Satan cannot be stopped. He will perform what he wishes to perform. He can make things work.
Satan is called the "Great Deceiver" throughout Scripture because he deceives man so easily and so continuously. He can counterfeit miracles so easily; he can counterfeit speaking in tongues [in fact, many pagan religions 'speak in tongues']; he can counterfeit bodily healing. He does all this simply and only to deceive men and women, to lead them astray from Jesus Christ. This brings us back to our story.
"Soracco is one of 20 faith healers recruited for the study by Dr. Elisabeth Targ, clinical director of psychosocial oncology research at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco .. Though Targ has not yet published her results, she describes them as sufficiently 'encouraging' to warrant a larger, follow-up study with 100 AIDS patients."
Now that several millions of Americans have embraced the New Age religion over the past two decades, the time is ripe for Satan to throw the 'respectability' of organized science behind his religion. Remembering the Six Step Attitudinal Change Plan, the first step requires that the highly controversial idea MUST be espoused by a RESPECTED expert who is speaking from a RESPECTED forum. Certainly, the clinical director of psychosocial oncology research at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco qualifies as a RESPECTED expert speaking from a RESPECTED forum. In fact, most of the 'scientific' people quoted in this magazine exude respectability!
Just two decades ago, doctors would not have dared even suggest a link between physical well-being and the condition of the spirit, not to mention a link between physical healing and the spirit! But, now, with Americans further away from a true knowledge of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ, the time has arrived to introduce this spiritual counterfeit.
The first premise advocated in this article certainly finds its place in Scripture. Harvard's Herbert Benson strongly believes that religious faith has some direct influence on physiology and health. "In his latest book, Timeless Healing, (Scribner: $24) Benson moves beyond the purely pragmatic use of meditation into the realm of spirituality. He ventures to say humans are actually engineered for religious faith. Benson bases this contention on his work with a subgroup of patients who report that they sense a closeness to God while meditating … Benson found that those who claim to feel the intimate presence of a higher power had better health and more rapid recoveries. 'Our genetic blueprint has made believing in an Infinite Absolute part of our nature …'" My, oh, my, this secular, New Age author from Harvard, Herbert Benson, has just confirmed what the Scripture stated almost 3,000 years ago. "He [God] hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end." {Ecclesiastes 3:11} This portion, which I have italicized, literally means, "also He has planted eternity in men's hearts and minds, a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working through the ages which nothing under the sun, but God alone, can satisfy …"
God has implanted within each person's heart a sense of eternity, and a desire which God alone can satisfy. Thus, God revealed to us, almost 3,000 years ago, the spiritual fact just now reported in this secular Time Magazine article, that "humans are actually engineered for religious faith"!
But, better late than never, right?! Now that human psychology has discovered this spiritual reality, God gets the credit, right?! Surely, this author from Harvard, Benson, gives God the glory; wrong!! Not!! Listen to his next conclusion,"Evolution has so equipped us, he [Benson] believes, in order to offset our uniquely human ability to ponder our own mortality." This is incredible! Once he acknowledges Biblical truth that is 3,000 years old, this humanist author then credits "Evolution" for creating this need within us!? As incredible as this seems, it brings to my mind the situation Jesus bemoaned about the relationship of the spiritually blind Pharisee to their spiritually blind congregations. Jesus said, "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." {Matthew 15:14} Blind leaders of the blind. This succinctly describes American's condition today. We first threw God and His Bible out of our lives and the life of our nation, thus making us spiritually blind. Then, 20 years later, we fill our spiritual need [which only God can fill] with counterfeit faith supplied by very pagan, very blind 'teachers'.
Let us quickly examine some of the physical and/or mental benefits for those people who have religious conviction. As this article states, "Most of these studies offer evidence that religion is good for one's health".
* "A 1995 study at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center found that one of the best predictors of survival among 232 heart-surgery patients was the degree to which the patients said they drew comfort and strength from religious faith. Those who did not had more than three times the death rate of those who did."
* "A study of 30 years of research on blood pressure showed that churchgoers have lower blood pressure than non-churchgoers."
* "… men and women who attend church regularly have half the risk of dying from coronary-artery disease as those who rarely go to church …"
* "… those who attend religious services are less depressed and physically healthier than those who don't attend or who worship at home."
* "Numerous studies have found lower rates of depression and anxiety-related illness among the religiously committed. Nonchurchgoers have been found to have a suicide rate four times higher than church regulars."
* "Churchgoing also offers social support — which numerous studies have shown to have a salutary effect on well-being .. Those [people] who were both religious and socially involved had a 14-fold advantage over those who were isolated or lacked faith."
Let us stop right here to properly digest what we have just been told. We might be ecstatic to hear the news that faith in Jesus Christ, and being Born Again through His shed blood on Calvary has exactly the result that the Bible says that it does! God states, emphatically, in Proverbs 3:7-8, "Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones." This last sentence literally means, "It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones."
But, throughout this entire article, I find no reference to Jesus Christ and only one oblique reference to Born Again. And, while I find God mentioned more often, it is not the God of the Bible but is the God of the various religions of the world, including the "God" of Evolution of mankind. Fortunately, the authors of this Time Magazine article tell us this fact, through various comments they make throughout the article. 1) "Millions more is spent on best-selling books and tapes by New Age doctors … who offer an appealing blend of medicine and Eastern-flavored spirituality." 2) "It is probably no coincidence that the relaxation response and religious experience share headquarters in the brain … The ability to have religious experiences has a neuro-anatomical basis." 3) "The God I have found is common to Moses and Muhammad, to Buddha and Jesus. It is known to every mystic tradition. In mine, it is the Tetragrammaton, the Name so holy that those who know it dare not say it. It is what the Cabala calls Ayin, Nothingness, No-Thingness. It is the Spirit, Being, the All. I used to think of psychic phenomena as New Age flim-flam. I used to think of reincarnation as a myth. I used to think the soul was a metaphor. Now I know there is a God — my God, in here, demanding not faith but experience … Now I know there is a consciousness that transcends science, a consciousness toward which our species is sputteringly evolving …"
Sadly, this is the point we have arrived, after so many people, for so many decades, have rejected strict adherence to "Bible Doctrine", calling it cold and lifeless. Too many of these people then turn to the "richness" of "experience" to give them stability in their faith, not understanding that Satan can counterfeit "richness of experience". Satan can counterfeit calmness in the storms of life; he can counterfeit faith in Jesus Christ by subtly moving the object of the faith to a faith in the "god within", as this author was quoted, above, in footnote 15.
Further, when you read the statement, above, that the God-within of this author demanded, not faith, but experience, you should shudder tremendously. For, this is Satanism, not Christianity. In Ephesians 2:8-9, we read, "For by grace are ye saved through faith …" In Romans 3:28, Paul says, "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." Therefore, a person who believes that his "God-within" does not demand faith to be saved is automatically consigning himself to Hell. He or she cannot be saved apart from faith in the God of the Bible and His Son, Jesus Christ!! Suddenly, the practical eternal effects from beliefs such as these become very much more real, do they not?
When you read stories like this, in Time Magazine, or in other magazines or newspapers, can you not see that the peoples of the world are being deceived, just as Jesus foretold they would be by false Christs and other religious leaders at the End of the Age? {Matthew 24:24} When you read stories such as these, can you not see that they are designed to condition people to accept the coming One World Religion, of the New Age Christ, the Antichrist?
Do not be deceived by the flowery language of the authors of this propaganda, for even Adolf Hitler cunningly hid the terrible truth behind his plans, by using flowery language. Today, more than ever before, we need to heed the words of Jesus Christ, as He spoke of the Last Days: "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting [literally, "overburdened or depressed"], and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man." {Luke 21:34-36}
The words, above, "Watch therefore", literally mean, "Keep awake", be "attentive" and "ready". Today, as never before, we need men and women who will be on their knees in prayer, and who will know their Scriptures and apply them to their lives. We need people who will boldly witness to everyone around them about the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We need men and women who will include, in their witnessing, the Biblical promise of the Rapture of the Church, so that when the Rapture does occur, people will know that it was the work of Jesus Christ, and will turn to Him for Salvation. Otherwise, they will fall victim to the clever lie of the New World Order leadership, designed to convince people that the sudden disappearance of millions of people worldwide is really the work of the Christ [Antichrist].
The signs of the End of the Age are blinking more rapidly and more brightly than ever before.
God bless you.

I don't hold much back at HouseGoesHome. It's pretty out there.
So it's bizarre that I find getting interviewed so harrowing.
I agreed to do two interviews about Kathleen Folbigg this week and I've felt a bit sick about them ever since.
I worry that I'll stuff it up. I worry that my words will be twisted. I worry that I'll hurt people …
The reason I was interviewed is because the NSW Governor will decide on Thursday what to do about a petition for a judicial review of the Folbigg case.
As The Newcastle Herald's Joanne McCarthy notes:
Newcastle barristers Robert Cavanagh, Nicolas Moir and Isabel Reed, and University of Newcastle Legal Centre director Shaun McCarthy, sent the petition to NSW Governor David Hurley on June 11, seeking a judicial review, after serious concerns about the convictions were first raised by legal academic Dr Emma Cunliffe in her 2011 book, ''Murder, Medicine and Motherhood''.
The petition has argued the Folbigg convictions were unreasonable in light of more recent knowledge about children's sudden deaths, particularly relating to cardiac conditions, and the trial's acceptance of a default diagnosis of murder after incorrect evidence about the incidence of four children's deaths in one family.
The weight of new evidence was significant, the petition argued, and greater than the ''unease and disquiet'' standard required to justify a judicial review of the case.
One of the most compelling parts of the petition is a 120-page report by Professor Cordner, head of international programs at the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, who found much of the forensic pathology discussed at the trial was ''misconceived''.
His report also states that the default diagnosis of murder was ''wrong'' and there was no forensic pathology support for the Crown case that Kathy smothered her four children between 1989 and 1998.
As for her diaries, a respected clinical psychologist found the entries were consistent with maternal grief reactions.
(Also, the bits that have been made public have invariably been taken out of context or truncated.)
I find it fascinating that people see those words from experts, yet don't read them.
They blithely assert that justice has been served. They are so definitive, so certain.
It reminds me of a scene from the Monty Python film The Holy Grail.
Peasant 1: We have found a witch, may we burn her?
Vladimir: How do you known she is a witch?
Peasant 2: She looks like one!
V: Bring her forward
Woman: I'm not a witch! I'm not a witch!
V: ehh… but you are dressed like one.
W: They dressed me up like this!
All: naah no we didn't… no.
W: And this isn't my nose, it's a false one.
(V lifts up carrot)
V: Well?
P1: Well we did do the nose
V: The nose?
P1: …And the hat, but she is a witch!
(all: yeah, burn her burn her!)
V: Did you dress her up like this?
P1: No! (no no… no) Yes. (yes yeah) a bit (a bit bit a bit) But she has got a wart!
(Peasant 3 points at wart)
V: What makes you think she is a witch?
P2: Well, she turned me into a newt!
V: A newt?!
(P2 pause & look around)
P2: I got better.
P3: Burn her anyway! (burn her burn her burn!)
Except this isn't funny, because it's real life.
My first interview aired on an SBS program called "The Feed."
Joanne McCarthy and the lawyer who represented Lindy Chamberlain are interviewed for the segment and they are excellent.
Me, on the other hand, not so awesome.
I don't say anything particularly pithy and I DO NOT have a TV face.
(I know, I know, it's no time for vanity. Serious stuff is at stake. But I look terrible. Bags under my eyes, wrinkles … )
I'm all jittery because it would be so easy for the NSW Governor to say no. They don't have to explain themselves, they simply have the power to shut it down.
And they'd be seriously tempted to … because the alternative is pretty spectacularly full-on.
Anyway, here's a link to the SBS interview …
Let me know what you think.
Unless you're one of these types …
Because I'm not in the mood for uninformed debate.

Veterans urge the government to do research into cannabis for PTSD to end the upsurge in suicides
The Huffington Post reports on ex-servicemen so tormented by memories of horror they have witnessed as peacekeepers in war-stricken lands, that they simply can't live with it. Memory loss, severe anxiety, hyper-vigilance, flashbacks, nightmares, loss of libido, emotional numbness and social isolation are some of the common symptoms of PTSD. These can be deadly, as there has been a disproportionate upswing in suicides amongst veterans in recent years.

One suicide for every three killed in action
Let's look at veterans of the Afghanistan conflict, for instance. For every three soldiers who died on the battlefield, one veteran has committed suicide. It is shocking statistics like these that are frustrating war veterans such as Fabian Henry, former Canadian combat engineer, who says he thrived on the adrenaline of combat for 12 years. Now, he is haunted by PTSD.
He and other veterans argue the Canadian federal government should urgently finance scientific studies to investigate the ability of medical marijuana to mitigate the high rate of suicides. Henry founded a PTSD support group, Marijuana for Trauma, in 2014.
Conventional meds trigger suicide
Henry says that in his experience, the medications prescribed to veterans for depression and psychosis to treat PTSD, is of no use. In fact, they cause more harm than good and often trigger suicidal thoughts.
Fabian Henry's job in Afghanistan included finding and defusing mines that were hidden. He realizes he is extremely fortunate to have returned home in one piece, but unfortunately, he can't say the same of his mind. His can't let go of the fragments of war that still rage on in dark thoughts and memories of comrades he lost, or other atrocities he saw.
Cannabis is saving lives
Henry says cannabis for PTSD is saving many veterans' lives, including his. It has improved his quality of life remarkably, and he feels normal again. Before, he drank heavily to try and numb his mind and emotions. At times, he got so depressed that he seriously considered suicide. He now feels like himself again.
Side effects of commonly prescribed medicines for PTSD include; impaired cognition (fogginess), lethargy, erectile dysfunction, weight gain and for some, substance abuse disorders.
Government must do their homework
Henry says, it is of vital importance for the Canadian government to start conducting research to find scientific proof of what is known from anecdotal evidence among veterans: cannabis works for PTSD.
Marijuana for Trauma is run by veterans, and has 12 clinics nationwide, serving 4,050 vets with PTSD. The aim is to wean them off debilitating pharmaceutical drugs while educating them on the use of medical marijuana, and helping them to get government-subsidized medical marijuana.
Cannabis for PTSD
The number of veterans turning to cannabis for PTSD has increased 15-fold over the last 3 years. They gain legal access via Veterans Affairs Canada, which grudgingly pays for up to 10 grams per day, while trying to discourage veterans from using it. This is a problem, says Henry, because they now announced the daily limit will be reduced to three grams to cut costs. Kent Hehr, Veterans Affairs Minister claims cannabis for PTSD cost an estimated $75 million in 2016.
However, there is evidence that CBD for PTSD could be a viable alternative that will be taken more seriously as it does not induce any form of high. The US Department of Veterans Affairs reports that CBD seems to reduce anxiety, a calming effect that helps PTSD sufferers to cope better.

Song of Bernadette (song)
"Song of Bernadette" is a song written by Jennifer Warnes, Leonard Cohen and Bill Elliott, and first recorded on Jennifer Warnes' 1986 album Famous Blue Raincoat. The title refers to Bernadette Soubirous, a young French girl in the mid-19th century who claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary on several occasions. She was canonized by the Catholic Church and proclaimed Saint Bernadette after her death.
Warnes was inspired to write the song on a bus trip near Lourdes:
I was given the name Bernadette at birth. But my siblings preferred the name "Jennifer" so my name was changed one week later. In 1979, on tour in the south of France with Leonard Cohen, I began writing a series of letters between the "Bernadette" I almost was, and "Jennifer"–two energies within me. One innocent, and the other who had fallen for the world.... So the song arose in a bus nearby Lourdes. I was...thinking about the great Saint who held her ground so well, and was not swayed from what she knew to be true. But the song is also about me longing to return to a place that was more pure, honest and true. I still long for this, and I think others do too."[1]
The song was later covered by Bette Midler and opened her album Bathhouse Betty.
The song was performed as a duet by Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt on the former's album, "The Grand Tour". The same performers sang it live on Neville's televised Christmas special.
The title is derived from the novel The Song of Bernadette, by Franz Werfel.

Past CureSearch Young Investigator Shizhen Zhu, MD, PhD, and her colleagues at the Mayo clinic have made a significant discovery in understanding how neuroblastoma spreads. CureSearch is proud to have funded research that helped lead to this discovery and looks forward to more updates in the future.
(mayoclinic.org) – ROCHESTER, Minn. – For the first time, Mayo Clinic researchers and colleagues present data on how nervous system tumors, called neuroblastomas, spread. Their paper, published in Cancer Cell, clarifies the relationship between two genes that fuel the aggressive spread of neuroblastomas.
Neuroblastoma is a cancer that most commonly affects children age 5 or younger, though it may rarely occur in older children. The cancer develops from immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body but most commonly arises in and around the adrenal glands, which have similar origins to nerve cells and sit atop the kidneys.
Like other cancers, neuroblastoma characteristics are linked to genetic alterations.
"Increased expression of the LMO1 gene is associated with aggressive, high-risk neuroblastomas," says Shizhen Zhu, M.D., Ph.D., lead author on the paper and a biomedical researcher at Mayo Clinic. "Our genetic analyses using zebra fish demonstrates for the first time that LMO1 cooperates with the MYCN gene to accelerate tumor onset and increase tumor penetrance."

ROMANS will arrive at Kinneil Estate in Bo'ness on Saturday (September 16, 2017) for the park's annual Big Roman Day.
It's one of the launch events for Big Roman Week – a nine-day festival encouraging people to explore areas along the Roman Antonine Wall.
The Antonine Guard re-enactment group will be setting up camp near Kinneil Museum and putting on displays of military activities from nearly two thousand years ago.
The fun will kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturday and run until 4 p.m.
Kinneil House will be open for free tours (last admission 3.30 p.m.) The House was built on the line of the Antonine Wall and is part of the official World Heritage Site.
In the surrounding parkland, children (and adults) will be able to dress up as Romans and make crowns, swords and badges. There will also be play archery sessions for children, fundraising stalls and refreshments.
Maria Ford from The Friends of Kinneil, helping to organise the event, said: "It should be a great afternoon. The Antonine Guard is a brilliant living history group that takes you right back to Roman times."
She added: "In addition to all the Roman activities – we'll also have displays from a local medieval re-enactment group and Falkirk District Wargames Club, who are making a return visit to the Estate. Local firefighters will be on hand to demonstrate CPR to visitors. There will also be displays of chainsaw carving! Plus families will be able to find out about a new initiative growing food for the local food bank right here at Kinneil Estate.
"Admission to the House and Estate will be free of charge – so come along. And remember to bring a camera to get shots of the re-enactment people!"
Saturday's event is part of Doors Open Days in Falkirk district this year. It's also supporting the Scottish Archaeological Month.
It's also the penultimate Friends' open event of 2017: things conclude with Hallowe'en themed tours of Kinneil House at the end of October.

This week's Fizzer worm appears to have had little impact on corporate networks, according to users and analysts. But with a growing number of users logging into corporate networks from home and other relatively insecure remote locations, the malicious code and spyware that such viruses leave behind on unprotected systems could prove to be a long-term headache for companies.
The Fizzer worm represents an emerging class of malicious code that relies on a variety of ways to try and circumvent increasingly sophisticated corporate network defences.
The worm was contained in executable e-mail attachments with innocuous subject headers. In the vast majority of cases, users had to click on the e-mail attachment before the virus could start executing code.
In general, companies with updated antivirus software and policies for filtering executable e-mail attachments would have been protected against Fizzer, said Russ Cooper, an analyst at TruSecure Corp.
Companies that have not yet taken such basic perimeter defence measures are simply being "derelict in their duty," said Pete Lindstrom, an analyst at Spire Security consultancy.
But workers who dial into the corporate network from home and other remote locations may not always have the same defences and are therefore more vulnerable to having their systems infected by such viruses, said Michael Allgeier, data security officer at the US-based Colorado River Authority.
This could prove dangerous because of the payload carried by viruses such as Fizzer, said analysts. According to Finland-based antivirus software vendor F-Secure, Fizzer is a complex e-mail worm that contains "a built-in IRC backdoor, a denial-of-service attack tool, a (keystroke logging) Trojan, an HTTP server and other components."
Such capabilities could allow hackers to remotely control compromised machines, steal from them or mine them for passwords, analysts said. Connecting such a compromised system to a corporate network could allow hackers to burrow past other defences.
"I think the biggest security threat today is remote users," said David Krauthamer, director of IS at Advanced Fibre Communications, manufacturer of telecommunications equipment. "VPN access is proliferating, and with the onset of wireless home networking, it's becoming easier to gain an access foothold to a corporate network."
"We don't have any control over remote workstations, or home PCs or kiosks or wherever it is that people access our networks from," Allgeier said. "We can't really rely on personal firewalls and antivirus software to detect Trojans and keystroke loggers."
The company has begun to roll out software from US-based software vendor WholeSecurity that scans individual desktops for such malicious code. It is looking to deploy the code for remote users as well.
Companies need to ensure that remote workers are covered by the same security polices that govern the corporate network, Lindstrom said. "It's a question of evaluating all the different attack points and distributed components in your environment," and protecting them.

A setup based on the deep water system developed on the college of virgin islands was inbuilt a greenhouse at brooks, alberta where dr. Earlier this month bank of america merrill lynch put out a analysis report on the marijuana trade's prospects. The concept of hydroponic gardening (gardening without soil), has been around Hydroponic Fish Farm because the time of king solomon. Residence hydroponic gardening is rising in recognition, particularly with the rising costs of gasoline and meals. Most commercial-scale aquaponics methods are customized-built, however in case you have some cash to place into a brand new farm enterprise, this company makes it simple for you.

Merely put, hydroponic techniques utilize mineral nutrient options in water—reasonably than the more traditional option of soil—to develop crops. In every other hydroponic utility it is only required to oxygenate the solution enough to prevent it from changing into anaerobic.
The suitable hydroponic vegetation and hydroponic nutrient resolution – you simply cannot keep a productive diy hydroponics backyard in case you do not make it a degree that you simply plant the precise seeds and make use of the best water-nutrient resolution. A examine watching the growth of micro organism in a hydroponic system started with a nutrient answer that had 500-900 cfu/ml bacteria in it. Inside 20 hours of working the answer by tomatoes in rockwool, the bacterial population rose to 1,000,000 cfu/ml.

Growers use the three half hydroponic vitamins by diluting them according to the expansion necessities of their crops. Also, many hydroponic vegetation Indoor Hydro Garden require different fertilizers and containment methods. I can think of no reason to not try utilizing a hydroponic system, even if you happen to use it in conjunction with your regular gardening. Being an skilled of hydroponics, i will talk about what you wish to look out for when buying your good hydroponic system. There are two sorts of hid lights utilized in indoor gardening: high-stress sodium and steel halide. In a deep water tradition hydroponic system, it's absolutely crucial to have enough oxygen ranges because roots are submerged. Whether you're a skilled hydroponics gardener or indoor gardening hobbyist, utilizing the most effective hydroponics supplies will make it easier to grow greater, better and extra productive plants. With the water flowing via the system, additionally it is creating oxygen for the foundation system which causes growth stimulation. Coconut coir is a good medium for almost any system apart from the ebb and stream system.
The holes will allow the plants to get water and plant meals in the hydroponic garden. This kind of system is easy and inexpensive to arrange and is great for water-loving crops, though particular care should be taken if you want to use it with massive vegetation. The truth of the Hydroponic Farming matter is that pests and ailments will all the time be one thing gardeners need to deal with, even in the home hydroponic backyard. Through the years, hydroponic know-how has been rising to fulfill various needs throughout the world. Rockwool can increase the ph of the nutrient system, so gardeners utilizing rockwool must preserve the ph of the system. If in case you have a industrial grow system that requires an in-depth, tailored approach, take a look at our skilled services web page to see how we will help. If you're utilizing a lighting system that doesn't come with such fans, it's advisable to arrange some followers to assist maintain the air around the vegetation circulating and cooler. Simple: the gh flora hydroponic resolution we suggest later has a base answer particularly to be used with onerous water. There are lots of different ways to design a hydroponic garden, and no single methodology is true for each grower. Because of this, wick programs are an excellent way to get began in soil free gardening. Nick savidov and colleagues researched aquaponics from a background of plant science.

Will There Be a Hockey Season This Year?
Deadline looming, may not have NHL hockey for awhile.
The NHL seemed headed for another lockout Friday as neither team owners nor players showed interest in getting back to contract negotiations a day before the old labour deal was set to expire.
Brief conversations late Thursday and Friday between leaders on the two sides failed to spur more formal talks in fact, the idea of restarting negotiations didn't even come up. The current collective bargaining agreement that ended the season-long lockout in 2005 expires at midnight ET on Saturday, and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has said a lockout would kick in immediately if a new deal hasn't been reached.
NHL, players dig in as lockout loomsToo often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
True love is wanting to give to another person without any thought about
whos getting the better of the deal.
Love always creates, it never destroys. In this lie's man's only promise

Getting back to the topic at hand we decided to see if the beer that puckers our mouth with hops, was matched out of the bottle. But first, the history lesson.
Not centric to the Northwest or the West Coast, the India Pale Ale get's its influences from the United Kingdom and far off India, during a time when beer was as valued as water itself. Known for their English Pale Ales, the British Troops would expect ships carrying this ale to the shores of the Indian Colonies. Unfortunately beer was hard to transport and often did not last the trip, until the discovery of hops as a preservative. Today what you have in front of you is decades of American modification which results in an IPA style which is unique to the region.
Or for those of you that subscribe to homebrewing, here are some suggested guidelines from the Brewers Association.
American-style India pale ales are perceived to have medium-high to intense hop bitterness, flavor and aroma with medium-high alcohol content. The style is further characterized by fruity, floral and citrus-like American-variety hop character. Note that fruity, floral and citrus-like American-variety hop character is the perceived end, but may be a result of the skillful use of hops of other national origins. The use of water with high mineral content results in a crisp, dry beer. This pale gold to deep copper-colored ale has a full, flowery hop aroma and may have a strong hop flavor (in addition to the perception of hop bitterness). India pale ales possess medium maltiness which contributes to a medium body. Fruity-ester flavors and aromas are moderate to very strong. Diacetyl can be absent or may be perceived at very low levels. Chill and/or hop haze is allowable at cold temperatures. (English and citrus-like American hops are considered enough of a distinction justifying separate American-style IPA and English-style IPA categories or subcategories. Hops of other origins may be used for bitterness or approximating traditional American or English
Flyers Afterburner India Pale Ale is one that pours orange (almost peach) but with a definite clarity. Resting in the glass a medium, khaki-colored, head forms; but doesn't stick around long enough to be enjoyed, leaving only a shredded wreath of lace inside the glass.
The aroma that is given off is both earthy (green grass, rich earth) along with notes of biscuit breadiness, and a bit of orange citrus.
As one takes a sip, the initial sensation of dry, grapefruit-citrus, is first detected; before elements of pine (like evergreen needles) are found midway, In the end this beer finishes with same earthiness that was in the nose, along with the biscuit breadiness. Overall, Flyers Afterburner IPA produces a light to medium heaviness as it rests on the tongue along with some stickiness.
Afterburner I.P.A.6.0% abv A hop lover's delight! Our I.P.A. is loaded from start to finish with five hop additions and balanced by English and German malts.
Our Thoughts.
You Should Try It. Despite what your colleagues might say this beer is a welcome addition to the Northwest India Pale Ale family. If you find yourself at the grocery store, consider picking up a bottle to take home. This beer would definitely work well with a plate of hand shucked oysters, a savory BLT sandwich or served next to a plate of parmesan, or sharp cheddar.

I am happy to say, all of the roses are now planted! Yeah! That doesn't mean that the rose garden is finished.... not even close, but it sure feels good knowing they are all in the ground. Now I need to spray the grass and kill it and then get the mulch down but that will come after the daylilies are planted.
Mentioning the daylilies, there are 316 tetraploids planted now and a nice group hauled up to the garden and clipped, and the row is dug out and just waiting to get started at daybreak, so I expect to have that number at around 400 when I start work this morning. The weatherman says we have rain moving in tonight and dramatic changes in the temperatures, so I want to get as many planted today as possible...... But alas, today is a work day! Hope you don't mind if I finish this tonight.
I thought I'd introduce you to my "family".... aka my pets. These are the critters that moved here with me from Ohio.
This pretty lady is inappropriately named ..... Homeless. She moved in with me about 8 or 9 years ago. Robby named her after about a month of her hanging out with us..... poor thing. As you can see, she is always worried about missing her next meal.
Did I hear someone mention supper?
And Mia has been with me for a bit over a year. She is simply bursting with entheusiasm, always wanting to be in the middle of everything.
She watches everything I do and tries to learn from what she sees.
Gee, Mom, I was only trying to help dig..... gardening looks like SO MUCH FUN!
Awwww, I knew you'd be thrilled that I was helping you.
Someone asked about the nighttime visitors and suggested a steel trap. Here's my steel trap!
Bet I scared you! My name is Brandy! I'm a dandy!
I like gardening too!
She was so thrilled over getting to move inside that she gave me a gift during the last Presidential
debate Monday night.......
Wow, I DID NOT need this gift......
And we're not done.... there is also Hershey....
And Chocolate.....
And we can't forget the fish from my water gardens.... lol
Now after all that, I will tell you, we planted 195 daylilies today.... not bad for a work day, huh?
That brings the Tetraploid total up to 507, so we're closing in on the halfway mark with them soon. That puts us up to 1878 daylilies planted so far. I moved here to Indiana the last of August. All the roses are planted, and the trees and blueberries.....
I don't mind telling you, I am tired........ and so is Homeless.

Pierre Montblanc
Energy Blaster
Place of Birth:
Lac-Saint-Jean-Est, Quebec
Date of Birth:
11 October 1969
Hair/Eye Color:
5' 7" / 179 lbs
Member of the Global Guardians
Pierre Montblanc was born into the Quebec of the quiet revolution, when the Quebecouis were throwing off the hold of the Anglos in every aspect of life. His father's trade as plumber earned his family a good solid living, and even through the seventies when oil prices spiralled out of control kept food on the table and a decent amount of luzury. Raised smack dab in the middle with six other siblings Pierre grew up as a fun loving kid, and learnt why the Quebecois were being suppressed and denied their rights.
As a university student Pierre joined the PQ, the mainstream political movement that urged Quebec to form its own distinct nation separate from Canada, and advocated a large socialist state. It was though in 1980 that disaster struck, the referendum on sovereignty was shot down by those scared to make the leap. Among his friends Pierre finally decided to make a statement when he graduated, instead of remaining Canada where his fellow Quebecois were to cowardly to fight for their nation, he would instead become a citizen of France. Not by applying for citizenship, but earning it by joining the Foreign Legion.
Arriving in France, where French was spoken, and celebrated, Pierre and his friends were ecstatic, this was how Quebec once was, and would be again if they had their say. Filled with conviction they applied to join the Legion and began its brutal application process. One by one his friends flunked out, and left Pierre as the only member of his small group accepted into the Legion. With a steely resolve Pierre entered into the Legion and began its training program, becoming more fit and skilled as the weeks passed. Assigned to the infantry team, Pierre began his duty in the Legion by earning the respect of his fellow soldiers through his hard work. Deployment followed shortly afterwards as the unit was assigned to a forward combat post in Africa where the Legion had been sent into one of Frances former colonies to help stop a civil war.
Slaving away in the hard Sub-Saharan sun, Pierre quickly gained a reputation as a dedicated member of the Legion, and a solider unwilling to break even under intense combat conditions. At all the bush fires the Legion was sent to put out in Africa Pierre performed with excellence and was marked by promotions and citations for his service. It was though in a fight against a small Xorn patrol that Pierre earned a high honour for bravery, as he led a charge against the Xorn managing to capture the survivors of the Xorn patrol in the last vicious firefight. At the end of his fifth year as Legionnaire Pierre was awarded his French Citizenship, and the departing rank of Sergeant as he stepped down back into French civilian life having accomplished what he set out to do when he arrived from Canada.
Yet Pierre wasn't the same young man he was five years ago. His idealism and burning love for Quebec had been replaced something else, a need to protect and serve the greater humanity. He had seen where petty distinctions between peoples lead to violent war, and that humanity lived in a world where vicious aliens could and would try to wipe it clear off the Earth. Instead of being lead by a blinding ideological love of a perfect Quebec, Pierre developed a soft tender love for humanity with all its warts, horrors, beauty and honour. What he as about to do with his new found perspective Pierre didn't know, but he was going to take some time enjoying his back pay.
Not having seen proper snow in ages Pierre was skiing in the Alps when a sudden snowstorm cut him off in a virtual white out. Acting quickly Pierre just stopped, popped off his skis and slowly walked over to the trees, which he used to help him pick his way down the mountain. It was though almost two thirds of the way down that Pierre suddenly felt himself being hoisted into the air and blacked out.
Waking up in a rounded white chamber Pierre was greeted by both a disembodied white voice and the sudden knowledge of the history of the The Guardsmen. U'tua the Gardener had created the Guardsmen to protect life as a whole across the galaxy as his last action before retreating from the Milky Way. The Guardsmen were armed with a costume that drew its power from a tap U'tua had created in the central black hole in the galactic core, able to project force in ways limited by only the users imagination and power by the consensus of all Guardsmen.
It was an organization that demanded much of its members, could give little but power and advice, and charged them with keeping peace throughout the galaxy. It was time for a human to be a Guardsmen and Pierre was being offered the position.
Pierre, the one time Quebec separatist, Legion Sergeant, and now a real humanist couldn't refuse the offer. It was time for him to step up to the plate and protect humanity from both itself and others who wished it to come to harm. He was going to be given the means, and the training to do the job right and Pierre for one wasn't going to back down from the challenge. Agreeing to become the Guardsmen for Earth, Pierre took the leap and was whisked away into the Guardsmen training program.
August 1995: Standing on the moon watching Earth dawn Pierre's grin went from check to check. He was home from an arduous ten-year training regime to become Sol's Guardsmen, to take up his love for humanity and put it into action. Creating a tight shield that would protect him during re-entry Pierre lifted off and launched himself at the Earth, it was time to be chewed out for not writing about 15 years worth of letters to his mother. It was time for Guardsmen to take up his duty.
Personality and MotivationsEdit
Once an idealist who believed Quebec could do no wrong, then a hard-nosed pragmatic realist, Pierre is finally a full-blown humanist, who acknowledges humanity's bad side but loves it for its good sides. This was even extended further during his training as a Guardsman, as Pierre is sworn to protect all life and enforce the laws U'tua the Gardener and the Progenitors set down to protect the Galaxy.
What his experiences and change in heart haven't removed is Pierre's stereotypically French attitude; he likes his wine, women, and song. Pierre is no longer even nominally Catholic, having given it up mostly in his university days for socialism, now simply states his beliefs as not in any specific deity but in the good inherent in the universe and life itself. The flip side of course is that Pierre likes to kick evils ass three ways to Sunday and uses his powers quite happily.
"Why is it always the gentle ones who pay for everybody else's ambitions?"
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
Apart from being a skilled solider and a highly competent normal human, Pierre is now a fully trained Guardsmen entrusted in both Galactic Law and empowered to carry it out. The uniform of the Guardsmen grants its wearer incredible powers, and are generally considered one of the most powerful weapons in known to most intelligent species in the Galaxy. Depending on the skill and imagination of the wearer, it can do almost anything.
While wearing the uniform, Guardsman can survive in space, fly, move faster than life via the hyperspace tramway, fire energy blasts, remotely manipulate objects via solid energy projections, project force fields, maintain a local environment for either Guardsman alone or entire groups of beings, and just about anything else he can think of. The suit is powered by U'tua's tap, rather than the endurance and strength of Pierre himself.
Pierre Montblanc possesses Gallic good looks. He is tall, with brown hair and eyes. His nose is a bit too large for his face to be truly handsome, but it doesn't detract enough to make him ugly. The one aspect of his appearance Pierre dislikes is his perpetual five o'clock shadow. No matter how cleanly he shaves, he constantly looks to be in the need of another one. When out of uniform, Pierre likes up scale casual wear like slacks and shirts.
His Guardsmen costume is a full black body suit with blue horizontal band across his shoulders and dips down to surround the symbol of the Guardsmen directly on his chest, a blue world on a white circle. When Pierre is using his Guardsmen powers a blue/white light is produced covering him from head to toe, and glowing most brightly from the Guardsmen crest. His eyes glow blue and the blue/white light gathers in his fists in a heavy overlay.

Rodengo - holidays on the sun terrace
Mountains are silent masters and make for quiet students.
The mountain village of Rodeneck is situated at 1,200 m on a sunny high plateau in the heart of the holiday region Valle Isarco and at the same time at the entrance to Val Pusteria. Rodeneck is also called the "golden mountain" because it is sun-kissed and because in previous times, many golden corn fields were shimmering in the sun. Surrounded by Alpine pastures you enjoy pleasant hours of sunshine in Rodeneck, an impressive mountain panorama and the idyllic alp di Rodeneck, the most beautiful Alpine pasture in South Tyrol.

Mother Of Slain METALLICA Fan Files Lawsuit Against Security Company At John Paul Jones Arena
According to WDBJ7.com, the mother of Morgan Harrington — the slain Virginia Tech student who was last seen while attending METALLICA's October 17, 2009 concert in Charlottesville, Virginia — has filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit against the company that provided security at John Paul Jones Arena.
The $3.5 million dollar lawsuit is filed against Regional Marketing Concepts, Inc. which operates as RMC events.
The lawsuit was filed just a few days shy of the two year anniversary of Harrington's disappearance and just before the two year statute of limitations would have run out. "This gives us the option of moving forward to find some answers," Gil Harrington said. "We filed a lawsuit to preserve our options."
Harrington's skeletal remains were discovered January 26, 2010, in a remote field on an Albemarle County farm along Route 29.
On the evening of October 17, 2009, Harrington was attending a METALLICA concert at John Paul Jones Arena on the University of Virginia (UVA) campus in Charlottesville. At approximately 8:30 p.m. she left the arena and was unable to re-enter the facility. After talking to her friends on her cell phone, she then walked through the University Hall parking lot and was seen in a parking lot next to Lannigan Field. At around 9:30 p.m., she was seen walking on the Copeley Road Bridge and then hitchhiking for a ride from passing traffic.
Harrington was dressed that night in a black T-shirt with the word "Pantera" spelled out in tan letters, black mini-skirt, black tights, and knee-high black boots. She was wearing a distinctive Swarovski Crystal necklace made up of large crystal chain links, which investigators have yet to recover. Harrington's PANTERA T-shirt was found November 11, 2009, in front of a row of apartments along 15th Street NW near Grady Avenue in Charlottesville.
DNA evidence was recovered during the course of the Harrington investigation that forensically links it to a 2005 City of Fairfax sexual assault of a young Northern Virginia woman. Fairfax City Police were able to develop a composite sketch of the assailant. State and Fairfax City police are still working to identify the suspect.
Virginia State Police continue to work with the University of Virginia Police, Charlottesville Police, Albemarle County Police, City of Fairfax Police and the FBI on this investigation.
Morgan's father Dan told local TV station CBS 6, "This may sound strange, but we have found some peace in [the discovery of Morgan's body]. It wasn't the outcome that we wanted but we know now where our daughter is and there is peace in that."
Her disappearance led to national attention and an extensive search. METALLICA offered $50,000 for information about her whereabouts, in addition to the $100,000 reward that had been offered by her parents.
In a statement posted at their official web site, called "The Loss Of A Fan," the band wrote in part, "We are profoundly saddened by the news of the discovery of Morgan Dana Harrington's body . . . Mere words cannot express the anguish and grief that we know her parents Dan and Gil are feeling, and our thoughts are with them."
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Jefferson Area Crime Stoppers at 434-977-4000; or the Virginia State Police at 434-352-3467 or by email at email@example.com.

The Himalayan Hospital of Jolly Grant was a coming up complex near Dehra Dun during early nineties with modern facilities for conducting physiological tests. I was one of its sponsored visitors in April '93. My department was keen about health of brains of its General Managers! The tests were not very comfortable for the physiologist who would not agree to my explanation about them. For example, her suggestion to stop thinking while measuring activity of my brain produced a reverse result. Instead of an expected fall in the signal output from brain, there was a drastic increase. She was astonished.
I explained that the pattern she expected was true only for a common man. It will not apply to a Yogi who moves his consciousness in his body at will. I have stopped thinking by simply pressurizing the cortical area of brain by a command in the corpus callosum, beneath the cerebral cortex. My brain has stopped thinking at my command, which is not possible for a person other than Yogi. Yog, by definition, gives the potential to stop thinking at will (1). However, terminating thinking by this process will show a gain of signal in the monitor due to pumping of neutral consciousness in cerebral cortex.
Can a professional doctor believe and agree to my suggestion? Yogis are not interested in their tests because they add nothing to their life. I too was a sponsored candidate. There is little data, therefore, on the consciousness pattern of brains in elevated Yogis.
There was a second observation also about my physiology where the doctor was stuck. It was my breath – extremely shallow with hardly any intake of air into lungs.
"You see, those who inhale consciousness directly from the environment around themselves don't need much oxygen. Through a long practice of Pranayam in the fourth step of Yog, I cut down intake of oxygen during 1973-74. The body system has stabilized subsequently with a limited intake of oxygen, although Pranayam was abandoned later" I explained to her. She was not impressed.
The Himalayan Hospital experiments were of great relevance to me, however. My days at Bordeaux flashed before me. I had landed at Bordeaux with a body weight of 60 kilos in the October '83. I was feeling suffocated and hungry all the time. During the day, I used to stand for almost half an hour in sun with a hope of gaining some energy from noon Sun. It wasn't of much help, however. Soon I turned into a glutton, adding almost eight kilos in a month. My breathlessness vanished at 68 kilos.
There were two inferences from experiments above: first, in India, when a person subsists on low food intake almost 10 to15% of consciousness energy is absorbed by the body directly from atmosphere. Through practice, this could be increased further during penance when people continue on near-foodless life for months. In high latitudes like France, free consciousness energy is quite low in the environment. There, we cannot sustain ourselves without an equivalent food and added effectiveness of physical body.
Physical body derives consciousness through food and oxygen and the main user of its energy is the causal body. On the other hand, consciousness energy absorbed from environment sustains, essentially, the astral body. Based on my personal experience, I fixed the outer boundary of high consciousness energy zones as 33°±2° latitude. Yog and Brahm are too intimately related to astral body and due to this geographic disparity in consciousness regime none can develop into a Yogi north of 33°N or south of 33°S. Experiential realization of Brahm is also ruled out north of 33°N and south of 33°S accordingly.
Variation of consciousness on earth has influenced human perceptions, quality of mind and concepts in thinking. In the zero-gold-medal-zone (Fig. 1.9), the tenth book of Rigved differentiates between two consciousness attributes of man – intelligence and manojav (mind generated force = psychic potential). The first is linked to the quality of brain while the second is essentially related to the spiritual strength. It was also understood that manojav varies in the range of ankle-deep to neck deep ponds among the colleagues of equal mental caliber (2). Contrarily, people north of 33°have talked only of intelligence and philosophy from Democritus though Russell for about 2500 years, and, for them, there is no psychic property like manojav. Indeed, Democritus "insisted that man has no soul" (3). North of 33°N level of manojav is too low and experiential perception of soul as a Brahm, independent of body, is unimaginable.
Yog, by definition is a 'process that stops thinking' (4). It is an anti-thinking instrument operating through energy of manojav in a powerful spirit. In the eight steps of Yog, the first one is Yam that implies 'stopping speech and thinking' (5). The last step of Yog is samadhi, which takes a person to 'null mind meditation over half an hour' (6). By the concept of Upanishads, wordy thinking and intelligence constitute 'non-knowledge' while silent manojav and Yog are knowledge. Yog is neither a subject of classroom lecture nor a practical session in a hotel or ashram environment, therefore. It requires withdrawal of person from social life to isolation; and, in higher steps even a sound-free environment (7).
If a proper and qualified individual desires for strengthening of manojav and Yog he must be first in a suitable geographic location. Then, he has to take to silence and stop thinking to reach samadhi. Such a person alone can succeed in experiencing Brahm or body-free-soul in his head, like the bards of Upanishads. He could also verify experiential aspects in the functions and structure of soul discussed here. Faiths and religions with aim and prayers of material prosperity or heavenly abode will have a negative role in his success. Unless one takes to Upanishads and Yog, a person will best end into an active spirit after death like Mevlana of Turkey. He will not experience Brahm; he will not experience Eternal Life; and, he has little chance to become a Buddh or Virajapar. These states are available while living and not after death.
Model of soul, presented in the pages to follow leans heavily on my own observations in the domain of manojav, Tantra and Prajna. Photographs and the gathered information serve as its building blocks. Their arrangement to reconstruct the most likely model of human soul takes into account my prolonged operations in energy transfer during Prajna between several individuals either directly or through a medium. The topic is slated to be discussed later elsewhere (Yog and Tantra for Moksh).
