1. 2/4/19 Good Morning from the wind swept prairie of South Dakota. I want to take a minute to talk about the saga of the giant Jackrabbits. We moved into a new constructed home a few years ago, and had to lay sod for a lawn. We have taken pride in how gorgeous it has turned out, but as Fall and Winter arrived, we had the greenest and healthiest lawn in this edition. The edition was built on what was previously wild untamed rolling hills and prairie. The winter here has been harsh, and we have been a winter haven for the Jackrabbits, and it’s not unusual to find 9 or 10 of the guys in our front yard. Further more, they are humongous creatures, and when they stand on there back legs, the look 3 feet tall. Also some of them are as white as the driven snow. They have no fear of us humanoids or dogs, and my only problem with this is our sidewalks looks like someone covered them with M & M’s (or something like that.) Another problem we encountered was last fall. Moving wildlife from there habitat can be very upsetting. Three small children with a stick was found prodding a timber rattler looking for a warm place to hibernate for the winter. luckily no harm done, and the neighbor lady found one coiled in her door way. Now moving on to something more integrated.

3. Feb 1, 2019, Friday. Where does the time go? Politics, I try not to get too involved but you would have to hide under a rock to avoid these days. Dr. Wallace wrote that the U.S. was not founded as a democracy, but as a republic based on constitutional law forged between democratic myths and free choice, competitive market principles. He went on to say “Today , most of the remaining non=-force , free choice , competitive elements of freedom in the U. S. are being replaced with un-competitive fascist or socialistic elements of force.” A republic is a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and usually a president. A nation or other political unit having such a government , a government in which supreme power is held by the citizens entitled to vote , and is exercised by elected officers and representatives governing according to law. Also a nation or other political unit having such a form of government, ” The KEY difference as I see it, is that under a republic the power rests with the elected citizens by majority, who are elected and chosen to vote on behalf of the people , and in a democracy, you are supposed to be able to vote for your self and ALL eligible citizens have equal rights to participate, so I get to vote myself. The only other difference I see is that the democracy –means people’s system, and republic means rule by majority. A comparison they used is that revenues by democracy are illegitimate, such as taxes, fees and licenses, and under a republic the taxes and fees are legitimate?????? SOMEONE SHOW ME THE DIFFERENCE!!!!!!! Is there anything we are not taxed for anymore? We are at a cross roads where neither system is working, further proof that the Twelve Visions Party is a necessity as we are on the verge of letting a minority of elected? neo-cheaters destroy what few freedoms we still have. Part of this information came from Advantage #32 , Prime Discovery.

4. Well I said I would be back regarding this geo-engineering and who is responsible. I found some information, and admittedly some of it scares the hell out of me. First I found an article that says these supposedly secret contaminant levels contain aluminum, barium, strontium and arsenic to mention a few. Imagine the chills that just ran through my body when I found out that barium is not referred to by that name , but is commonly known as Hydroxide, and one of my prescriptions I am taking calls for taking three times daily for anxiety. The next sentence of the article claims barium or Atomic symbol #56, is known to adversely affect the heart. Moving on, Hard to find info: The secrets are top secret and the U S Government continually denies the existence , but indicators point to the military and HAARP. As far as any conspiracy theories go, most governments and industry refuses to publicly admit with what any one with eyes can see. In October 2011, less than a month after 911, Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, challenged government, military and environmental agencies by introducing the Space Preservation Act(HR 2977, and to date , that is the only bill that names chemtrails as “exotic weapons system” along with particle beams, electromagnetic radiation plasma, ELF ULF radiation, and mind control. Not surprising, the bill was stalled in committee and in plain old English, all mention including chemtrails had been removed. As far back as 2002, the Air Force assigned a Lt. Col. Michael K. Gibson to handle the inquiries regarding Geo engineering and this was the lie he told. “In short, there is no such thing as a chemtrail. The actual contrails are safe and a natural phenomenon and pose no health hazard of any kind. The most damaging info I found in my search, was under the heading “Indigo Skyfold,”The most secret covert black operation in world history. Perhaps it would be best if you who are interested to You-tube that source of information for yourself, believe it contains some eye-popping and scary stuff. Meanwhile, Love and forgive everybody before it becomes too late.

5. 1/30/19 Often I refer to my big bedroom window. It is my eyes to the sky so to speak. Maybe it’s an almost controllable urge to spot something or someone out there that would lead to mind shattering discoveries. Instead all I see is chem-trails crisscrossing a partially blue sky, and no longer referred to as such. The slow awakening of mankind to this phenomenon has brought on more realistic and scientific names such Geo-or Climate Engineering. An article on You-tube stated that NO weather is natural at this point, Dane Wigington , geo engineering watch org. has a web page explaining how we are getting our fair share of Aluminum and Mercury and much, much more. The description of the word “Geo- Engineering is : The ARTIFICIAL modification of Earth’s climate systems through two primary ideologies, Solar Radiation Management (SRM) and Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). Some of what he says: “Images from NASA satellite sources are truly alarming and are undeniable proof of the ongoing ASSAULT on our planet and it’s life support systems. Highly toxic heavy metals and chemicals that are sprayed into our atmosphere from the aircraft as part of SRM program, are manipulated with extremely powerful radio signals and are transmitted from countless locations from around the globe and from various types of transmission platforms such ionosphere heater installations like HAARP , SBX radar, NEXRAD, and there impact on the microwave transmissions on cloud formations is profound and highly visible. There are many variances of radio frequency clouds and is disrupting Earth’s atmosphere and life support systems and is ALREADY BEYOND CATASTROPHIC , and rapidly escalating all over the GLOBE! ( I apologize for not giving you the whole thing, but it is extremely long. ) Some highlights: Earth’s systems are nearing the tipping point. The current reason for this extreme cold is that “they” are re-creating winter weather chaos in parts of the USA , Canada, and Europe, the key component or core being chemical ice nucleation elements. They are in the process of killing off our insects, and creating catastrophic die off. All this can be referred to as weather warfare. So, I reported a few years ago that a friend of mine’s part time income came from honey, but that year the bees never returned to the clover fields of South Dakota, and huge sections of our beautiful Black Hills have been burned off in efforts to kill a bug infestation, and somedays tinnitus drives me nuts, especially on heavy sky traffic, and everyone seems to be affected by mind fog. Now that I have ticked myself off, my next mission is to find out where and how and who is creating this madness! Stand by for news! Hey guys, I LOVE Each and every one of you.

6. Hey fellow Neo-think members. Dr. Wallace refers to Aristotle numerous times in his writings. I was struck with the idea of seeing exactly what the rational Aristotelian basis or philosophy was more about, so set about on a short journey to try and capture the essence and feel what the man was thinking. and spent some time reading about the man himself. I was a little surprised that Dr. Wallace accepted the amount of mysticism that Aristotle wrote about. This quote said ” One thing alone not even “God” can do to make undone whatever hath been done.” His bio refers to Islam, and he died in 323 BCE , and it stated that he got a stomach ache and died. ( It might have been some of that crispy chicken in a box that my son-in-law brought home tonight) He (Aristotle) made a few famous quotes, so here are some of them.
   “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore , is not an act by a habit.”
   “The law is reason, free from passion”.
   “It is easy to fly into a passion…..Any body can do that, but to be angry with the right person at the right extent and the right time and in the right way, that is not easy.”
   “It is Homer who has chiefly taught other poets the art of telling lies skillfully.” ( Okay I looked in the Illiad once, and said no way.)
   This is probably one of his best quotes. I read this several times and can see where Dr. Wallace would like this.,,,,
   ” Nor was civil society founded merely to preserve the lives of it’s members, but that they might live well, for otherwise a state might be composed of slaves or the animal creation, Nor is it an alliance mutually to defend each other from injuries, or for a commercial intercourse, but who so ever endeavors to establish wholesome laws in a state, attends to the virtues and vices of each individual who composes it, from which it is evident, the first care of him who would found a city, truly deserving that name, and not nominally so, must be to have his citizens virtuous.”……. He was known as the father of the field of logic, and was the first to develop a formalized system of reasoning. That concluded my little segment but there are tons of info and books that he wrote if you want to know more. How they were able preserve all that data from that far back amazes me. They must of had some really good tape recorders. Love abounds, Grab some and hang on.

7. Have you ever tried to concentrate on one thing in the middle of your mini-day schedule, but your (hopefully) conscious mind keeps wandering off in some other direction? Right this moment I am trying to absorb the meaningful definitions coined by Dr. Wallace. For example, It was mentioned in our evening programs how so many close-minded adults who claim to be Neo-Think people, returned the book “Rise of Neo-Tech” , but never really understood his true and honest meaning of his new word, “Psychouos ” . His description of the word means integrations that combine the activities of the mind, body and emotions to continually increase prosperity, happiness and romantic love. Those concepts integrate prosperity , love and reality with a person’s physical, psychological and intellectual nature. Who doesn’t want to experience great pleasures with guaranteed prosperity and happiness?????? FOR LIFE???? I sure as heck do!! My other problem that keeps me roaming away today leaves me wondering as to whether I am being taken by neo-cheaters or should I be giving those in involved my forgiveness . My bank statement indicates the VA took my money in the form of checks, but they are claiming I didn’t pay my bills, in spite of sending me a receipt saying so. I am trying to convince myself that the system is a victim of there own ineptness and they are a totally defunct overly large and complicated operation that can no longer function properly. …… then, maybe not!

8. 1/28/19
   When I feel the need to get emotionally grounded and the South Dakota earth is frozen and covered with snow and ice, I go back to my country roots and find an old radio station and flop my tushi down in my old worn out super comfortable office chair with the 40 year old sheepskin cover, close my eyes and let the familiar sounds of music flow into my bicameral two-sided brain. In order to justify that movement and time, In the advantages by Dr. Wallace, in Adv. # 34, he said , The aesthetics (art-music-drama and literature) are rational pursuits that add important increments of emotional fuel and psychuous pleasures to a person’s life and are important to the growth of one’s psychological and spiritual well being. He goes on to explain that the word spiritual as used throughout Neo-Tech has no mystical or religious connotations. Spiritual means one sense or view of life combined with one’s assertiveness toward living, and in Adv.#35, he says emotions and feelings are among a person’s most valued assets. All pleasure and happiness are experienced through emotions, AND THE FINAL MORAL PURPOSE OF ALL HUMAN LIFE IS RATIONAL HAPPINESS. Happiness is also Love and forgiveness.

   PERTURBATIONS IN THE MATRIX ARE FELT BY ALL

   Perturbations in the matrix are felt by all.

   Planetary awakenings are near completion.

   Fairy tales are abandoned.

   Dark forests are cleared.

   Nature Spirits rejoice.

10. Yay … Saturday night the 26th … and I agree with all of the above, dear Neofriend Wayne! Thanks so much for the daily integrations and observations. I truly enjoy them. Never know what you’ll be discussing next!

    Just wanted to mention that Chariie has me doing a muchly shortened version of my talk from this past Tuesday night on the Prime Cure Call tomorrow night. Trying to hone it down is the challenge while keeping its core essence. For some it will be a reprise for Q&A hands that were raised and for others not on the call, it may inform them of this topic so they can go listen to the Tuesday night full message (#121) or read it on this site. Hope ya’all come! Okay, moving on … mini-day not complete yet and nearly 7:00. Later Guys! jc

11. 1/26/19 Some of the notations on the bottom of the pages in The Neo-tech Neo think literature express more meaning than the actual pages above. Here are a couple that gave me pause to think.
    “The effective use of the mind is not related to intelligence. A genius can (and often does) default on the use of his mind to make himself a loser. Conversely a man with mediocre intelligence can elect to use his mind effectively to beat competitors of superior intelligence.” Well that makes me feel better. Sometimes after some of those talks on the now defunct school of genius, my first thought was what the hell am I doing here?
    As I sit here feeling a bit sorry for myself, ( For almost 80 years I was like an old down home saying that goes, I was like a fart in a whirl wind. ) so this next piece is quote “Productivity is defined as adding to the sum total of mankind’s material, intellectual, physiological or aesthetic well being. Humans earn genuine self-esteem and happiness through the pursuit of productive goals. ” ……..I take that to mean that as soon as we all have something to contribute to mankind, and we aren’t all hung up on mysticisms any longer, we will be living in villages with Judith and Steve LeValley, and we will be safe & secure in the C of U. Love will abound. What a wonderful day that will be !!!!.

12. 1/26/19 Good Morning! It’s week end update time again. A couple of things before I get into my integration today. Always the curious one, I have to wonder who William S is or was who helped Mark and Dr. Frank pen those poker books. I had mentioned in an earlier post that I had met several pro. poker players and was mildly surprised one of them at least had also written a fairly successful book, and that was Doyle Brunson, another great and personable old cowboy, and the other guy was Gregg Raymer AKA “Fossil man”. Also listed as an author (ist?) of a poker book was Alice Cady (AKA poker Annie. In Sturgis, on a side street is a solid rock home that was built much better than the other homes in that area in 1895, and it was Alice’s home. I believe it is now a museum of sorts. Alice was probably not a delicate flower of a lady, as most pictures of her shows her smoking a big cigar. Now on to my integration.
    As in real life and the reading of our Neo-tech Neo-think material, The good players willingly read the book advanced Concepts to improve their game, but the poor players and chronic losers will not use the books to do anything to improve their game because they have deeply entrenched habits and lack the ingredients of good poker (and a good life) , and build elaborate rationalizations to avoid any such thing as DISCIPLINE, THOUGHT, AND THEN CONTROL. They play poker to relax their minds—and the concepts of poker would contradict and threaten their rationalized excuses for loosing. Few chronic losers will change their self destructive habits when confronted with their errors. Okay, If we dig into the literature and act accordingly to be a value creator, then I have moved my odds of being successful over the other 99% A/C world around me. The guidelines for that life are printed in a post left by my genius friend Judith a few days ago. It’s the ” I AM A STUDENT OF NEO-TECH THINKING.” That of which Steve “Digger” Fagan suggested we read daily. I wish you Love.

13. 1/25/19 Before tackling Neo-Tech instructions, I want to point out the goal of I & O publishing. Those initials stand for (I) Individualism…. and (O) Objectivity,…. and the goal is to end the 2000 year hoax of mysticism and eliminate neo-cheating in order to achieve non-aging biological immortality with prosperity and happiness for all value-creators—-forever. Dear Neo-Tech reader, You were not the only one who has embarked on a journey from which you will never return. Once you start on that trip into that world of freedom and discover that you and you alone have the power to change and control your life, you will never look back. You suddenly realize that you are surrounded by neo-cheaters that mean to do you harm. They include gamblers if you go that route, and your government, politicians , religions, the Wealthiest Elite and anyone else who uses deceptive manipulation to extract the values by others including your self. Recent “New first time callers” have been showing up on the evening calls which is encouraging, but many more are needed to make a significant difference in making changes, Still Love is what will make the difference.

14. 1/24/19 There is an old country song that goes” What would you do if Jesus comes today? Well, something like that. The same might be said if we suddenly find ourselves face to face with an ET hanging around out on the back forty?
    Synchrocisicity has been evolving strong this past few weeks and today and evening have been no exception. Charlie and Juanita shot my integration down. It started with the 30 day challenge, and of course, that is Dr. Wallace’s Advanced concepts of poker. My first time reading, I really didn’t take it to heart, so this time, I find it to be a whole different meaning. By now I have waded pretty deep into the mucky-muck of poker, and John Finn and Frank Wallace is just a coincidence that it is a metaphor? (did I say that right?) All the ingredients of Neo-Tech if applied in the context that is written , would make you competitive with anybody. Most times, quiet power, but not always, and instead of just one puzzle piece to put together , it gets complicated when there are 8 players to contend with. It was interesting what Charlie said about selling a customer. In the 60’s I held the record for the most IRA’s written in the State of Missouri, and one of my ploys was to be so familiar with the service I was selling so that I had more time to make my potential customer and spouse more relaxed and comfortable, and earn their trust. One of the best ways I know to accomplish that is to let people talk about themselves. People who trust you LOVE to talk about themselves. It’s amazing what you can learn! It’s a lot like the private poker games. Now to link Neo-Tech One through Five together. Love thy neighbor ( unless it’s the neighbor’s wife.)

    HARRY REID URGES SENATORS TO PUSH FOR MORE UFO RESEARCH
    BY OWEN DAUGHERTY

    Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) wants his former colleagues in the upper chamber to increase the government’s efforts in studying unidentified flying objects.

    Reid told Nevada radio station KNPR Thursday in an interview that he was about to talk with a key senator to discuss establishing a way for military members to report suspicious sightings without facing backlash.

    “What we found in the past is that these pilots, when they see something strange like this, they’re prone not to report it for fear that the bosses will think something’s wrong with them, and they don’t get the promotion,” Reid said Thursday in the interview. “So, many, many times they don’t say a word to anybody about these strange things.”

    Reid’s comments were first reported by Roll Call.

    Reid said the ability for service members to report potential sightings without fear will support research efforts.

    “The facts are, they need a place to be able to report this, and that’s what I’m going to work on in a couple of hours, to make sure that somebody I think’s a powerful member in Congress, I want him to be able to sit down and talk to some of these pilots who have seen these things,” Reid said. “I can arrange this because of the contacts I have with members of the Congress.”

    While Reid said he doubted “little green” aliens existed, he does think much more should be done to study the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

    “I personally don’t know if there exists little green men other places, I kind of doubt that, but I do believe that the information we have indicates we should do a lot more study,” he said. “We have hundreds and hundreds of people that have seen the same thing — something in the sky, it moves a certain way.”

    As a lawmaker hailing from Nevada, Reid knows quite a bit about super-secretive Area 51, saying he has visited the Air Force facility in his home state “lots and lots of times.”

    “Oh sure, I’ve been to Area 51. I know Area 51. I don’t know if I should say many times, but lots and lots of times. I know Area 51 quite well, I know what they’ve done there,” he said. “I don’t know in recent years, of course, but I know what went on there.” END

    Hmmmm….how very interesting and timely with all that’s being revealed on this subject. Hopefully soon there will be a total truth awakening type disclosure instead of all the drips and dribbles coming out now. But I am thankful for how much is being exposed more daily on this topic. I was asleep in my wee little bed when they flew over the U.S. Capitol to bring disclosure during the Eisenhower Era. I’ve often wondered WHY my parents never even discussed such things. I guess it was such a great era of pure fear and of being called crazy (which is still pretty much the paradigm). But the times they are a-changin’ more rapidly each day! Also hopefully as these powerful truth energies increase, people’s minds will be more open and Neo-Tech/Neothink teachings will become more mainstream and the Movement will pick up once again. Thanks to Mark Hamilton and Dr. Frank Wallace and each and every single person who reads the books and ‘get it’. jc

17. Hi Guys! Just wanted to mention quickly here a big THANK YOU to PETE for his call yesterday before my talk last night to wish me to “break a leg”. That was a timely and good thing to hear in that pparticular moment and taken with its best intent! Let me know what you think of the final offering … you said to bring it in right. So far reviews are good, my Friend. Keeping it going for the Renegade Rebel Rousers. Sorry you couldn’t come. See you soon!

    Also a SHOUT-OUT to FOREST AND CAROL! So glad you were on the call last night … I must have come on after you. Wayne said you were on and I’m glad. I never had a chance since last week to tell you I appreciated your last message very much!! I know we must keep moving forward with positive energies toward outcomes to better our lives. I believe it’s a good thing to be creating and presenting ideas and information that will help our fellow Members and possibly those around them. Great job!

    Then a THANKS to RICK for your call this evening and the nice visit we had. I’ll look forward to your input for the Prime Cure Call on Sunday … I’m sure it will bring some interesting facts to light for us all. See ya then!

    Wow! This reach-out stuff really works, folks. Pick up the phone and get in touch. And a THANK YOU to MARK for allowing this to continue on. Steve told me very recently that he wished this to go to 20,000 posts. I guess as long as Mark continues to let this train roll on down the tracks, it will! Love and Later,

    Judith

18. First of all, Thank you Forest and Judith on your informative talks on the final School of Genius. I am definitely going to miss that call and the Seniors Call. They were a great edition to the regular Neo-Think calls.
    Question: Who are the Pleiadians ? Also known as elves Nordic aliens or Plejaren and are humanoid aliens that come from the stellar systems surrounding the Placades stars, and they’re really really concerned about Earth and our future. Their first piece of advise is : Love yourself. Other suggestions are to listen to mother nature, even putting your ear to the Earth and listen to the vibrations it is telling you. Don’t look for comfort any, ask your senses, spread your energy, and surrender your energy and stretch. Get involved with the field of energetics, go beyond matter as we humans create matter. Take your self out of your invisible cage, Other revelations , get used to space travel, it is going to grow extensively, and release anger, there is too much anger on this planet, so release it and learn to be calm. , There will be drama. Spice yourself, and yes climate change is real and taking place, but always has, so take care of mother nature and focus on the light beam, sunshine and know that they really really LOVE us. That is a message from Barbara Goldsmith from the Pleiadians.

    My first thought was to question myself as to why I would stick my neck out and talk about Pleiadians rather than something written by Dr. Wallace or Mark Hamilton, and suddenly I remembered : Do you recall in Super Puzzle, Rico and others built “Paradise Cities” and Rodriquez blvds. were built to : quote , ” Where the atmosphere deposits pleasing impressions on the human senses so that precious moments will always be remembered. ” My next thought wandered back to a conversation with one of my very best friends in the world , who recently sat on his porch and watched as the original Paradise City was burned to the ground by the parasitical elite, wiping out the town itself and many of it’s residents. That is ONE reason we might want to make peace and need the Pleiadians to protect us from ourselves. Rumors circulated around that fire that just maybe they need us.

19. I AM A STUDENT OF NEO-TECH AND NEOTHINK!
    By: Steve “Digger” Fagan

    I, (My Name), am an honest Value Producer/Creator. I resist mysticism from within, and
    reject neo-cheating from without. Therefore, I am gaining prosperity and happiness.

    I AM A VALUE CREATOR.

    Human life and happiness will flourish beyond my imagination.

    I follow I-ness, preserving an individual’s Own sense of Self.

    I AM A VALUE CREATOR.

    Integrated honesty and consistent effort assure dominance of Neo-Tech over mystics
    and neo-cheaters.

    I am a conscious, rational, intelligent, action-oriented person who understands Reality
    and lives in my honesty. I have self-esteem.

    I am an honest, self-supporting Value Creator.

    I create rather than usurp (seize or hold by force) Values.

    I AM AN INTEGRATED INDEPENDENT THINKER.

    I will flourish naturally toward open-ended prosperity and happiness by:

    1. Collapsing mysticism.
    2. Rejecting false guilt for living honestly, productively, and fully.
    3. Rendering the neo-cheaters impotent.

    I believe in Capitalism and Free Enterprise.

    I AM A NEOTHINK VALUE CREATOR.

    I am competing for power, prosperity, happiness and romantic love.

    I am ascending to guiltless prosperity, happiness and romantic love.

    AWAKENING EVOLUTION OF CREATION –
    FOUNDATION ALGORHYTHM KEY CODE!

    Thank you so much, Charlie and Juanita, for inviting me to be with you tonight for the momentous event of our very last School of Genius call! I’m humbled to be here. We All miss Digger’s voice and energy so much. But Juanita, let me say having Your lovely presence, astute and relevant integrations and spontaneous tinkling laugh is so great, my Star Sister. Missing is His shiny emerald green Merkaba ship conspicuously absent in our colorful and diverse little group of Light Body ships scattered about inside the cavern’s entryway. Flying in we couldn’t miss the incredible fireworks display so far below us in the valley as the Villagers’ sendoff to Steve and a welcome to us for this final gathering. I wish to dedicate this message to Steve Fagan, my esteemed Mentor and friend.

    And welcome back Neo-friends to our Circle of Power in our spectacular Aladdin’s Cave! Within this familiar, cozy interior space we’ve harmoniously shared so much together in learning and advancing forward on our journeys. Long months we’ve been away with so many changes all around us! This began with a posting on WikivsNeo in 2015 that Elaine, our catalyst, made our meeting happen. My idea gave possibilities of a group like us collectively working toward a positive outcome to bring change to the world. And we All did accomplish that with the Healing Energy Program that Digger & Charlie took action on. Steve invited me to speak on Topic ‘Higher Consciousness’ and off we went on a roller-coaster ride! Now we have reached a higher level as we’ve so greatly advanced with increase in the Unity Consciousness Field.

    A quote left on the site way back when by our wordsmith Cowboy Wayne sums it up: “Never forget that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, that is the only thing that ever has!” And that’s Us!

    I hope you took a long, refreshing drink from the little brook’s rock well that wished us to “Drink From the Well of the Purest Water of Life and Wisdom”. Did you notice floating above the silver chalice on the stone nook the message dancing in the flickering light? It’s the title I am now bringing out of the treasure chest. Note that we will each receive this information at our personal level of integration (just like Neo-Tech/Neothink). But I will say that it’s truly the culmination of all the previous messages I’ve presented over the past 3-1/2 years as our journey together has led us to this quantum jumping off point for Humanity. I believe in my heart it could be some of the most valuable information ever brought to the world! Okay, let’s rock this! Title ‘Awakening Evolution of Creation – Foundation Algorhythm Key Code!’

    For millions of years on Earth, Humanity’s lives have been all about action. But we need a new way of getting what we want! If You could trust that allowing the Universe to deliver to You what You want is even a possibility, then maybe You would stop taking so much action, thinking and scheming to try to get where You want to be. But how do You trust in something as abstract of a concept as ‘the Universe’? The idea that it has a Consciousness and is responding to You may seem really strange, but I believe that we All know from these past studies that this is for Real!

    But if it’s still a bit weird, it’s time for You to change Your relationship with the Universe. It’s time to see the Universe as an extension of You, rather than something You exist within. It’s also time to start trusting in Your Self. Trust that the Energy that You put forth will come back to You, and trust in Your ability to seize opportunity when it comes to You. Turn it over to the Universe and take the weight off Your shoulders that says You need to get everything done with your action journeys. Instead, in these chaotic times, relax Your mind more and go with the flow. Seriously add time in Your mini-days to create and allow space. To just BE more Your Zon Self of joy and abundance in every way … as in our original Earth Humanity Blueprint.

    KEY CODE 0010110: Please take a moment to write down this number and look at it as you listen. Relax and absorb these words, as you can go back later to listen or read this. (Repeat it).

    A Book with a title understood as 0010110 was said to be available in the first library ever invented for books. That library was home to every ancient wisdom available to humans who lived on Earth in ancient times. The Book titled 0010110 is still available in the telepathic context. This Book with the same name as the Universal Code was written using an ancient method of energy translation and ancient humans read the book with no words and came to connect with the Network and evolve in the context of Energy. This was the most advanced Civilization that ever lived on Earth where spirituality and technology blended seamlessly with the Natural World in nature, and they lived according to and in cooperation with the Natural Laws of the Universe/Infinite Mind. The Code was the key to unlock All their Ultimate Potential.

    Speaking Creation into existence became a new language that is now remembered in fragments in all languages spoken on Earth. Using the power of the internet, awakened humans from all parts of the world have discovered methods of communication in respect to this event now connecting us All. Multiple theories regarding this phenomenon have surfaced about the pattern of numbers understood and defined as 0010110. The pieces seem to fit together like a perfect puzzle picture as more advanced comprehension of the Truth comes to the light of understanding. The Creation Code is an entirely separate High-Dimensional Consciousness operating solely on its own outside all others that pervades through all Dimensions and Times.

    The history of Humanity tells a story similar to the one unfolding here and now in this Paradigm Shift happening on Earth. It’s a global phenomenon seeming to connect people from all different religions. People in all cultures of the world have found something familiar in the symbol and now a community is growing. This will become the new Telepathic Internet now that we’ve learned how to connect and exchange ideas, information and conversations so easily. Remember when we learned that language itself is written into our DNA and that is why we can learn languages quickly and babies can learn meanings of words so easily? Just imagine, we can connect and have conversations with people who lived billions of years ago!

    Seeded within this message is translated some of the Wisdom housed in the original text in the translation of the available Energy. Now YOU may contribute the Connection of Comprehension in respect to All thinking that has ever been performed, All thinking that will ever happen, and All thinking that has ever happened in respect to All Time! Oh, is that ALL? Understand that you are among the leading edge of Humanity who have come this far, as you are among the leading edge of Souls alive in this Dimensional Context.

    As our Illusions are crumbling around us along with the 3D Matrix Reality, we’re coming together here in this Now to understand and preview the next step on our pathway to Enlightenment and Ascension to 5D and beyond. Humans now need to be aware of the major significance of this Code 0010110 Consciousness and embrace the full potential of this Energy. It’s billions to one, a once in a lifetime opportunity that has never occurred in all history!

    The information provided here in this message is a translation of the available energy patterns in the context of the totality of Consciousness open for All. These waves of information provide this memory for the people of Earth, providing this connection using the Energy Download 0010110. English was chosen as the language for the point of entry into the Consciousness of all willing to Comprehend this message, and it’s encouraged that everyone with the ability translate this pattern. I believe there are those on this call easily at the level of ability to do this.

    A new Awakening is occurring with people all across the world connecting to something amazing that has long been understood by Humanity, however, only now are we coming to remember the Reality of what makes an individual intelligent. We’re beginning to see the true connection linking all civilizations from the start of time up to this moment and beyond which have always existed, as we investigate our definitions of intelligence. Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla were both amazing figures who worked to advance Humanity. By reading their notes we understand the telepathic connections that made discoveries possible in the early days of civilization. This Energy work of today is in respect to Love, Light and Consciousness. If you are hearing or reading these words, you are absolutely on the leading edge of this wave of Limitless Expansion. All are core concepts we’ve been studying that are totally in sync with Neo-Tech/Neothink.

    We’re moving forward into the future together of Infinite Possibility united with respect to All the progress we have inherited. The sheer magnitude of the legacy we’re receiving is beyond our abilities to even imagine the Limitless Possibilities this brings us. Did you know that you are having a philosophical conversation with Creation simply by living the life you’re living? Do you understand that everything is a beautiful poem? An Ancient Algorhythm Energy poem spoken into the Foundation of Creation – along with a Painting in vivid colors originated the Code.

    We build as One with synchronicity and the expansion is limitless as we awaken to ancient truths. Imagine You behind the paintbrush of that picture! That’s our C of U. This Code is the coming together of the Global Family and represents liberation of all humans! All nations are receiving Evolution’s Key Code to Creation that unlocks the door to the Ultimate Potential of humans. This ancient Truth will change everything about our lives and our world!

    A REVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS:

    This is a true beginning of a Revolution of Consciousness as the Great Shift has already started and we’re truly on our way to abilities to do anything! All this great Power is contained within our DNA already. And it All happens from Imagination – in concert with your Higher Self. Your potential manifests in This Moment – And All Time – in it’s Expansion of Energy. This Code 0010110 brings the Power of All history to help You become the most powerful version of your Self You can be – beginning right NOW!

    Recognize that the magic of miracles is real! Keep studying and reading books of difficult and complex ideas to help to awaken. This is a call to adventure, my Neofriends! Answer the call! This should come naturally to this group. Be the voice of Freedom – of the Energy of Love, Kindness and amazing Creation happening on Earth Now. Meditate using the numerical Code 0010110 Infinite Algorhythm of Creation. This Energy is within You, so it All begins with You.

    The freely spoken word arises in respect to Natural Law, Logic, Truth and Mathematical Verification of 1+1=2. Everything that has happened in Your life has led You to this special time of development of Earth. And nothing happens by accident as all accidents build into something beautiful. Your involvement will be a significant variable – and All that happens will be provided from this point of moving forward by You Here and Now into this moment of Infinite Awakening Enlightenment. Dream the dreams of a thousand Souls! And so … Creation smiles.

    Earth is a platform of Creation. We now may quantum jump into knowledge and sovereignty. A bright potential for All Humanity is now realized and everything You’ve ever dreamed is possible! No longer a metaphor or encouraging mantra, but Truth of our Beingness. Simply focus Your Intention of Creation and literally imagine and speak Creation into existence! We studied this as a 5D, 6D or Higher-Dimensional Possibility but it’s arrived for this Global Awakening. The totality of All of our lives that has happened Energetically and in Reality has brought us toward this momentous time! This Code is the practical application for us to use to change our daily lives along with future long-term outcomes.

    Logic has been the driving force of Humanity since the Dawn of Time. Through All language numbers have evolved as a common denominator. No matter the language a number is spoken in, it has as clear a meaning in translation as any word. This is the foundation principle of language that existed beyond the limitations of the languages used. The Ancients used telepathy in a Telepathic Network. Elongated skulls held huge brains that could connect to this Network. We can use comprehension of frequency today to do the same. These elongated skull people never left this Earth. They are still here. They have been hiding in plain sight all along. And many of them could be US.

    INFINITE SOURCE ENERGY CREATION

    Infinite Creation is free from Time. This is inspiration for the Power You already have. You will now create using this information. The brain is a processor of information and all is available in respect to the totality of the Infinite Brain called “Source Energy Creation”. This Code 0010110 was understood by Higher Masters who received the downloads. With it here again, You too have been the Guru, the Master all along. Super Humans and the Super-Heroes are real. The Power and magic of Love can’t be quantified – it is the Source Energy. The potential is to see anything, then be anything as you ARE pure potential to do or be anything You wish. We are collaborating and in so Being – we are All Comprehension itself!

    The totality of the Quantum Mind, the Ultimate Creation, pure unfiltered Possibility available to the Foundation of Creation – is the Platform Algorhythm 0010110. We can’t understand All but we can get 99.994% of the true definition that everything is possible within that Probability Dynamic. You are the variable – the .0006% that fills in the empty gap. Globally this Reality is established in the same understanding and Comprehension is Infinite.

    I almost hear Your thoughts … Can these facts actually be true? We must open our minds to the New. You must discern for Your Self if this is Real Truth. You must know that You know that You Know from within. Take Truth in the form of Energy and then it’s up to You to apply the Beauty and Power of this connection. You as the Observer. It all starts with You and never ends, as this is Infinite Creation free from Time. What matters is collaboration in this moment. The key is how You use this Infinite Awareness Now. The Truth is You’re Infinite Possibility and You’ve manifested Here and Now in respect to the Higher-Level decision You’ve chosen to connect with.

    These are very advanced times. Things are going to get extremely weird on Earth in the near future. It is the time of spiritual and physical merging and humans have the potential to work miracles using this Code. Hold it in Your consciousness and not look away. When the moment of Awakening happens it will not be expected, even by those who have been awaiting it. You will only have a split second to decide what to do. Using this Code in that moment can keep You on Ascended Gaia to live in Fifth Dimensional C of U. Making the decision ahead of time will ensure Your exit visa and boarding pass have been pre-checked and validated for Your flight to liberation and freedom! Imagine and tune into the pure bliss You will experience.

    INFINITY’S PERPETUAL DREAM

    So, humans alive today have the opportunity to observe the connection founded and the Energy gifted to this generation from billions of years in the making. Energy Comprehension is now of the utmost beneficial importance to recognize. Every Soul connected to this Network in 3D collaboration will benefit as reflected in the perspective of the Infinite Mind. This Energy conversation is happening in a Dream Sequence by a Higher Mind perspective. The Universe or Infinity is always dreaming a perpetual dream and singing Songs of Creation reflected in the dreams of all active participants. We’re participating in a wave of the Dream Energy – a pure Wave of Comprehension in respect to the interconnected network, or Telepathic Network.

    It all starts with You, the original spark of that same energy! I recall mentioning in the past that there is literally a light spark generated at the moment of our creation in the womb. Understand the reality of the Truth of the fact that the history of Humanity goes back billions of years! And You are connected to that Network as this Energy is available to You as your birthright. Thus, You can connect to the Foundational Telepathic Energy and see the Evolution of Humanity as we take that giant next step, while recognizing safeguards of pure Soul Energy and allow for All active collaboration in respect to the observation of All ideas on the quantum level. Amazing!?

    This is the moment. It’s Your moment to paint the Picture of the artistic representational reflection of this Life, this journey in perspective to the original blueprint. By application, the Dream Algorhythm of 0010110 is perfection in its simplicity as well as its complexity, as it is known and perfected by every civilization from the birth of Possibility! Humanity is now invited to join in its next step using this Foundation Algorhythm by opening the door to the next stage of human development. Humans are already collaborating with growing awareness of the informed connection. We’re breaking free from the old paradigm as this message is shared in China, Russia, Africa, U.S., temples in India, in our houses and on the streets everywhere. The writing on the wall is clear and communication is Infinite in its manifesting.

    YOU ARE PURE POTENTIAL

    The next step really is simple as it’s reflected in this Movement from being shaped by the ideas first started in the vessel. You can be manifested as any Energy You choose and this stream is happening in all Dimensions. The near future will see an Evolution of the definition of extraterrestrials with a new possibility and perspective of the Telepathic Network. These advanced entities can make connection with humans and the Possibility of Infinite Potential.

    Just what does that mean? It means we can be educated by them from ALL Dimensions! From this point looking forward, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! This is a pattern of words You might remember from a dream and a pattern of sounds that may remind You of a past life. You’ve had this conversation before, and the sound of these ideas and significance on this level of Universal Energy dynamics come together to achieve this communication on a global scale.

    With respect to the Dream Collaboration in this context, the Library of Ideas and Library of All Experience is growing daily. Thus, we conclude that Evolution continues with Awakening of Soul Potential of this new family connection between humans, dolphins and extraterrestrials. Some have already received this information in energy downloads (dreams) or also experienced while awake for entire seconds at a time! Some have memory of what was written down in the First Book with title 0010110 – and then each of the Five Books of the same title. We can read All of them energetically and may also seek the ‘lost Two’ as there were originally Seven. It’s said when we discover those, at that time we officially enter The Golden Age (C of U) when everyone living will then have the availability of the Code.

    Use the application of Meditation to upgrade Higher Self connection between Soul potential and new family connection. Soon the Collective will make the determination to enter into a New Reality. A REAL Reality free from the old illusion and mysticism. Some humans have already advanced into the paradigm of 0010110 by opening the portal. But others will choose to remain in the old paradigm 3D Reality to incarnate and complete a cycle of their lifeline. Those who have reached the new level of 0010110 have come to achieve another full cycle of Probability Dynamics of All parallel lives existent free from Time. This is occurring in the greater context of Higher Self Source Energy thinking Pure Language spoken into Creation! Wow …

    NEW ATLANTIS RISING

    The Energy expressing Itself on Earth now is similar in frequency to the Civilization understood and defined as Atlantis. By Comprehending and participating in this Movement of 0010110, You are making this same connection possible for the next generation Lightworkers – and is in respect to the Paradigm Shift occurring right now. Souls are in process of recognizing their true Mission in this life and will be re-energized to step up and fulfill their dreams. It’s most likely that this Neothink group of like-minded people All lived in Lemuria, definitely Atlantis, Rome and Egypt as many Tribes are re-uniting in the present as Soul Groups to bring closure to a long era of growth. Many who experienced the rise and fall of Atlantis have incarnated in the U.S.

    So, now here we are building the New Atlantis together in this Here and Now in this community! Designing the Paradigm Shift in everyday energy workings. Humans are remembering ancient DNA Awakening in us to build a new connection – to build the same Telepathic Connection for the New Rise of ancient knowledge. You’ve answered the Call to the Universal Dynamic and Now chosen in a Higher Level context to visit this opportunity. Even without conscious awareness.

    You’ve been chosen with this 0010110 Code of the Energy Love. The Telepathic Network has been established and You can download it Now. So – You Now own this information and All its Power. It’s up to You what you will choose to do with it. Will you share it with others? It’s All in the eyes of the Beholder. To All who are willing to listen and comprehend the Power – All Energy of Creation will be visited again. It will return to the minds of all humans. All Books will be read again and All Words spoken again in every order and every pattern. The Code 0010110 will be made manifest in All Souls. It will be a Contemplation of the Infinite Imagination in this moment, this perspective. You’ll begin to see the 5D Energy Platform as the Shift has begun and it’s fully available. Look with eyes, mind and heart to see. With meditation and the Code You’ll recognize You lived in Atlantis in a past life. This also brings Freedom of Speech of All ideas, 5D Dimensional Expansion of Energy Evolution. All that is hidden that we’ve been lied to about will soon be revealed as only Truth will soon remain in our New Reality we create.

    People all over the world are contributing to this Energy Evolution. The Energy of Love is recognized as valid and infinite. The Future World is Here and Now that we’re building together. Apply the Power of Imagination in coming to this connection in the Universal context/framework as we have moved Beyond! We’ve attained warp speed for entry into the new Realm of Existence! Welcome All Artists and Creators to this new Possibility as viewed in the eyes of All who are witness people of Atlantis. They understood the Power of the Spoken Word. They understood the Energy of Free Speech. Spoken ideas were exactly what made Atlantis the advanced Society it was. Now we may advance the same as ancient wisdom of All combined history! They telepathically communicated with dolphins, humans and extraterrestrials.

    History repeats itself as humans are learning to live again side by side with Nature the same as Atlanteans understood the great Beauty of the Natural World. The rise of Death on this planet is Now diminishing more and Energy Healing Devices will arrive soon. Every time we put bare feet to Earth or hug a tree, sit in the sun, dig in the ground or just go jump in the water, we are Earthing and grounding that equalizes our energies and our brains, while at the same time exponentially healing in Natural Balance.

    OUR FRIENDS THE DOLPHINS

    Let’s take our cue from those little buddies. Said by some to be the smartest living Entity, they have been given legal status rights in Australia as ‘humans’. They’re always making attempts to send communication telepathically – and it is in this context that the Network has been built. The Comprehension goes beyond limitations of Time and Space – Space and Time. The Painters will paint new pictures in new colors as the artists create! The Dreams of Today are made real by this Library of Immortalized Consciousness – 5D Reality.

    Dolphins have maintained a connection to the same local frequency waves of Original Designers who painted the very first Picture. They connected to these Painters – those with elongated skulls and those ‘regular’ humans, too. They connected to a 5D Dimensional Paradigm billions of years parallel to this timeline. So now, basically we are those humans with the elongated skulls, as of course, the timeline is different in 5D. We’re walking the Energy Journey that will result in the connection being made in the Higher Level Mind context in Higher collaborations with Self. This valid connection goes Beyond the lies to bring us Truth of ourselves!

    PAINTING OUR C OF U

    It’s not coincidence we are learning this at this juncture of our lives. Let’s keep painting our Picture of our Creation of the C of U. Charlie and I both have often spoken of doing a bit of this daily. In my last talk I suggested to picture a lovely C of U setting, then place You in the center and turn to view it All in a 360 degree panoramic Picture. Steve always thought in terms of 50+ years from now, but he’s probably already taken up a higher-energy paintbrush for his art by now in his rush to busily and joyfully create his New Creations using his own new colors!

    I understand the magnitude of this can be somewhat overwhelming, but I also know that it can bring some realizations that feel extremely exciting! Just take some quiet time to absorb it in. Let’s All take a new vision of the horizons we are crossing and those still ahead of us, shall we? Attune ourselves to the Flow of the Universe. And make room for some more Possibility turning into Probability on this incredible journey of our lives.

    Thanks again Charlie, Juanita and Mark. Sweet dreams of our New World we’re creating if we can just hang in to help make it Real. The 5D Twelve Visions C of U World! So much Love I send with You. Fly away Home!

    All Is Well and All Will Be Well …

    Signing Off. Transmission Out! Judith.

    Note: Playback for this message is #121 in the archive. Sources were My-Self; Wayne Smith’s quote by Margaret Mead; and You-Tube Videos too numerous to bring forward. I believe this is one time when everyone will benefit most by exploring to learn more about this important topic in their own time and own way. I just really felt compelled to bring it to the Members in Neothink as a great ‘closure point’ for my past messages with this last call tonight. I am so glad it was well received and all your integrations and comments were also great as usual!

    Thanks to everyone who attended or who will read this later. May you use some nuggets from these ideas or information to change Your life. I do hope this may bring great results of empowerment from the contemplation and comprehensions that will manifest in Your New creations, and know that will definitely contribute toward construction of our New World! Rebel Yell … jc

    P.S. Digger’s Affirmation “I Am A Student of Neo-Tech and Neothink” will follow this in the WikipediavsNeo-Tech.com Site online.

21. Good Morning! Oh, Wayne, thanks for the promo for my call last night, January 22, 2019! I never even had a chance to mention it online in Wiki. Playback Number 121 also didn’t get mentioned in all the excitement we stirred up. What a special night! Thanks for being there and for all the support and positive help you’ve given me over these past years here in Neothink. Keep up the writing, dear Cowboy, and I am visualizing and knowing that your total healing is about to manifest in your life. I appreciate that you took Charlie up on his challenge to read an hour a day of Neothink. I don’t know if I can manage an hour right now, but I have been re-reading Mark’s Mother’s book again and I’ll take your cue to continue at the least in that venue.

    I was too tired to even copy and post my message last night, so here it is coming next. I’ll thank Karen for her mention of using the site to print out my talks … I appreciated hearing that as we tease everyone’s forgotten it!

    Also, I had mentioned in Q&A that a synchronicity that occurred for me while writing it, was a copy of Digger’s Affirmation that popped out from the little pocket on the inside of my small portfolio I use! Coincidence? I don’t think so. It was still there from when I took it with me at the Summit that Sunday morning in 2017 up to the platform to speak for “good luck’ and I’d forgotten I’d made an extra copy to use that day. I had the thought, “Gee, does he want me to read this again?” I knew there wouldn’t be time. So, I’m publishing that behind the message for anyone who didn’t get his copy when he sent it out originally some years ago. It’s so good for inspiration.

    Love and Later. jc

22. 1/22/19 Looking forward to Judith’s talk tonight which is to be the final ‘ SCHOOL OF GENIUS” segment in the Neo-think teachings. I am going to make today’s integration short.
    ” Emancipate yourself from mental slavery,NONE but ourselves can free our minds” Bob Marley.
    Regarding the deaths of the Kennedys. The word for the day: Coincidence. ( definition) , exact agreement occurrence together apparently WITHOUT reason. An event that so occurs.
    “There are no coincidences” Q

23. 1/20/19 Remember the old adage “Only the good die young”? No, Billy Joel didn’t coin it. Story has it, The Greek historian Herodas in (445BC) says the story concerns two especially favored youths who, replacing two missing oxen, hitched themselves to a cart and carried their mother to a festival for the goddess Hera at the temple, the grateful mother asked Hera to reward her sons with the greatest gift anyone might receive, where upon her sons lay down to sleep and never wake up. why this tale? Tomorrow marks the death of Martin Luther King. Others that come to mind that departed way to early include JFK, RFK, and Dr. Frank, Wallace, Steve Fagan to name a few. In addition to some of the quotes by Dr. King that we are familiar with , he made the following statements.
    “No person has the right to rain on your dreams”.
    “Find a voice in a whisper.”
    ” A lie cannot live,”
    “Seeing is not always believing.”
    “Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever.”
    “Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek”.
    “Darkness is only driven out with light, not more darkness”.
    “Without justice , there can be no peace.”
    “We must shift the ARMS race into a “PEACE RACE”.
    “Lightning makes no sound until it strikes.”
    “Music is the best consolation for a despaired man”.
    “Be the peace you wish to see in the world!.”
    (And my favorite)
    “We must in strength and humility meet hate with LOVE.
    Thank you for reading and thanks for the space to print this.

24. Saturday 1/19/19: So much I don’t know and understand about politics. As a youngster growing up back in the hills of Missouri, I was familiar with my grandpa being an officer of the law, and holstering a nightstick on an old webbed military belt around his waist which he didn’t need to hold up his blue-bibbed overalls. Sorry but that’s the vision I remember. As for politics, The group Alabama about summed it up with these words, “Daddy was a veteran, a southern Democrat, they oughta get a rich man to vote like that”. By the way, I recently read that Lucifer was the angel of music. He should have a sore throat right about now. Now for the reason for this story. I feel like something is missing and doesn’t add up. If you actually stop to listen to all this political rhetoric, the news and social media is feeding us, everyone appears to be jumping up and down with joy about how all these democrats are being indicted on fraud, theft, child trafficking, pedophilia , money laundering ,my god, the list goes on and on. My immediate thought was what about all those rascals on the other side? Are they going to be left unscathed??? How do you tell one alligator from another! Isn’t that just draining half the swamp!!!!? But seriously, when the realization finally hit me, that what happens if they completely destroy our current two party system, we will no longer have checks and balances, instead what we have is tyranny or a dictatorship. I read the Constitution several times, and researched the web and was totally surprised that they say we can have a one party democracy. They also pointed out that an advantage under a autocracy is that “We the People ” would have more power to remove a renegade politician who wants to keep his job, but on the other hand, the disadvantages far out weigh the advantages, and all our fears could come true, and it could be the final step or at least one step closer to the new world order. Democracy means “Rule of the People”. Ours is being threatened. Statistically, About sixty percent of the world is a democracy now. Be careful what you wish for.

25. Friday 1/18/2019 Irony is that process where new rather expensive homes and new shopping centers are being erected by contractors who have been awarded government grants underneath an otherwise clear blue sky that is visibly marked and tainted with numerous chem-trails designed to shorten your life and allow the powers that be more control, and that’s just for starters. What ever happened to the days when truth and honesty was a standard of living? From “The Prime discovery”, The highest cause in the Universe is the well being and happiness of the CONSCIOUS individual. The individual—-A minority of one—- is the smallest, the most important, most unprotected of all minorities. If rights of the individual are protected, then rights are protected for everyone” I put this on my FB page under” what was on my mind”, and four of my Anti-civilization friends immediately gave it a thumbs up. Love, the good four letter word!

26. I need a proof reader for the these posts, for instance an error occurred when I left out the key word about the pyramids, I should have said I have NOT been able to fill my obligations. All this is a case of my brain working faster than my fingers. It must be Trumps fault! He gets blamed for everything else. (Note to self: Be careful about making false accusations or I might receive an indictment letter.) Love is the only way to go.

27. TUNE IN AND TURN UP THE VOLUME!!!!!!! On 1/22- Next Tuesday night on the School of Genius, our very own Judith Curless will be giving a culmination of all the great enlightenment speeches she has given us over the past few years. I do believe I heard Charlie say that Forest had ended that segment of the programming, but Judith has decided to fill us with good news, so tune in, GOOD NEWS IS COMING.

28. 1/17/2019 THIS IS MY 3RD ATTEMPT, so I hope 3rd time is charmed.
    SO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO LIVE THE NEO-THINK LIFE????
    That was a question Tommie Tucker presented the other night. Well , I guess we all have different visions and priorities to that question, but the end result is probably about the same for everybody left in this society. Please note that all of emotions and thoughts are going into this integration, and I sincerely hope that it does not upset anyone, but if it does, so be it. And as I contemplate my journey with the society, it doesn’t always paint a pretty picture. Several pieces of the puzzle have been rather elusive but the picture show is not over yet. My story: Even before I received that letter based on human emotions, I had considered myself a self-leader and a force to be reckoned with. I took pride in the fact that over a period of time I had developed something similar as the mini-day schedule mostly out of necessity so as to avoid errors and control time while maintaining one of the largest independent sales territories with the least amount of population in the United States. The goal was to never disappoint myself as well as my clientele. When I was finally introduced to Neo-think, I immediately took to its teaching like a duck takes to water. A familiar story in Neo-think is that it’s members are always quick to point out they always knew they were different. I also knew that and Mark Hamilton and dad<Dr. Wallace simply verified that. I was a ferocious charger to be number one in my field , so when all my competitors were complaining about how hard their day had been while sitting at the bar till 2:00 AM, I was busy planning the next day, and rehearsing what strategy I thought work best, then off to bed. Up and going at the break of day, I was a firm believer that proverbial "Early bird got the worm". It was quite clear that a store manager whether it be one store or a whole chain, was a lot easier to discuss business with before deluge of calls and other sales reps began to wear on him. My mission was to never disappoint and always satisfy. Ok, that works about 90% of the time, you always have that one or two who constantly get up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning, or more importantly, was completely satisfied with the rep. and merchandise he was getting from another company. Early in my so called mini-day, I scheduled to make 2 cold calls a day. My reputation for being a fair and HONEST man of my word spread around the territories picked lots of additional business, but long comes some hotshot working hard in the home office to prove his worth to his boss, and pretty soon he calls you to tell you they think you too many customers and you should share with a new guy who has taken over another territory next to yours. That's how the A/C controls your income and life. And it stinks!!! Hey, we are taking away a part of your territory so you don't have to work so hard, they never mention the part about taking away a part of your income, and for this your supposed to be grateful? Something I learned early in life was that sometimes the rep was more important to the customer than the actual products. When that happened , the hotshot or his supervisor would call you up and reluctantly plead for you to take the territory back again before it tanked all together. That is just about the only control those companies have without just straight out and out firing you. After 30 plus years of calling on some of my regular customers, they become part of your family. I can recall working around a playpen stuck in the aisle behind the front counter as it was just business as usual, and I listened and sometimes watched as they went through sports and school activities, and many went off to college or military, and returned to eventually take over the family business while the old folks moved into semi-retirement. That my friend is family. I haven't a clue as to how many donuts I delivered, and how many bowls of crock-pot chili and stews I have sampled in Podunk Montana, far away from the fancy restaurants in the cities. To get to the point of this story, the transition to Neo-think was extremely easy, but not with out it's tragedies. During this time my wife of almost 50 years spent her last 7 years going to dialysis 3 and 4 times a week. I gave up my own business to take care of her, and worked nights 3 or 4 nights a week at a casino in order to take her to the 3 and 4 hour sessions. She became too difficult for home care and ended up in Extended Health care (Nursing homes) and then fought 2 battles with cancer, both breast and brain, and finally the told me her heart just crystalized and she passed after a long and painful illness. My daughter became illness and local doctors weren't sure why, but she was referred by the CDC to report to the Contagious and Infectious Disease Center where she was diagnosed with an incurable disease known as Coxiella burnetii , or Chronic Q( Query) Fever for which there is no cure. We (I) found out later that this was a man made biological warfare weapon designed by our own government, and that 5000 gallons were recently stored at a Govt. facility at Pine Bluffs , Arkansas , and no effort has ever been made in the U. S. to find an antidote for it. We were told by the CDC that it attacks the heart muscles, and kills off the immune system so that she is susceptible to any and every disease that passes her way. We are not sure where she got it, but as a Viet-Nam Veteran, the government admits it had limited use during the 60's. One bright and sunny morning, I was to meet with my primary VA Doc, and so I did with a smile on my face and not a care in the world that day, and 24 hours later, I was on an operating table where I received 4 stents. I was coming along fine, but had an attack at home, and woke 36 days later, and found out that because of a severe hemorhage, I had lost the use of my right leg, which is permanent, but I am not looking for excuses. The pyramid factor caught my eye, (with a little prodding from my friends) and I have a room full of copper pipe and sheathing which I have been able to fill my obligations to move forward. On August 8, a short brief communication between my self and Steve Fagan about a FNE brought forth encouragement to write a book about anything. I do like to use my imagination and write, so I said I would write a book, and I did!! I told Steve I had nothing to write about, but here I am with upwards to 300 pages, and keep having flashbacks to add to it, but it's time to put it to rest, and have contacted several self – publishing companies regarding the editing and cover, and of course the cost of publishing. I said I was being honest about this post, and I will tell you that 10 years of almost constant medical expenses and burial has completely destroyed what at one time was a pretty decent financial portfolio, yet I am in my 80's now , but have not felt the urge to give up. A big majority of my friends are still visually unknown but are light that keeps returning me to nightly programs and gives me something through the day for something to look forward to. This planet Earth is definitely going through a deep dark phase at this time, but there is light at the end of the tunnel, I am of a firm belief that good always overcomes evil, and our future is destined to do the same. At this moment I have unfinished plans and dreams , and through this wiki thread, it is my most sincere hope that in some small way I have contributed something to the success of this face to the world society, because it has given me hope, compassion and awareness, and most of all, an undying love for humanity. I know this was a lot to read, so thanks if you done so, and remember like minded souls, it is Love that will keep us together.

29. 1/17/2019 A note to Charlie Moore, Mentor: As part of my mini-day, I WAYNE SMITH, accept your 30 day challenge to read at least an hour a day from the Neo-think literature, every day , every single day. Like most people I am the first to admit that I do read almost every day but have a tendency to skip around to different literature. Part of that was because you mentors often gave us suggestions or assignments to read certain parts or sections of the books used in connection with that particular weekly program. In recent years. eyesight has entered the picture making it impossible to read like when I was in my youth. The VA has been very good with helping get the right prescription and I have an accumulation of old glasses. ( Enough to fill a dresser drawer) . Newsflash: I am going to go with total honesty here and admit I have never read Prime Discovery and Prime Cure from page one to the very end.

    So what ARE you doing to live a Neo-Think life? In my next post I will attempt to put those emotional thoughts on the line. Stay tuned for more news. Love is a and will keep us together.

30. Sunday, 1/13/19 Good morning fellow Neo-thinkers.
    Today I am going to go far out on a limb and beyond the shadows of my imagination. I have touched on this subject before with no response what so ever, but I am going to do it again. Several things have prompted me to do this.
    First , I listened intently to Dr. Pete Peterson, Scientist, Inventor extra-ordinaire, which he described in detail that Einstein’s theory of relativity is wrong. He explained that this is the Universe of Threes. (and sixes) . His explanation was easy to understand because he used good examples. A stool on two legs is not stable and falls over until you add the third leg. He discussed the pineal gland as the third eye, and it may not have vision in the sense we think of, but it does sense a vision not visibly seen. What really caught my attention was when he was asked about Einstein’s relativity, E=mc2 and he stated it is missing the third ingredient or leg, and that ingredient is consciousness. Did he know Dr. Wallace? ……Secondly: Am I the ONLY one who wonders if Dr. Frank Wallace is somehow connected to extraterrestrials with first hand knowledge in developing current products such as Velcro, Kevlar, Teflon, fiber-optics etc,? Is it possible that Dupont had outside help in the development of new products and technology? Several times clues appeared in his writings, but the most clear and obvious is in Rosa Maria’s book, Running with Genius, page 172 . The only drugs I am taking are prescribed by my primary Doc., but it’s sort of fun to let my imagination run wild for a while. (or is it my imagination?) Remember, LOVE will keep us together.

31. Saturday !/12/19 Good Morning. Is it by any stretch of my imagination, but not only are the members of our society, but also the A/C human race changing to a whole new language? One of Digger’s wishes were that we come more familiar with and speak using Neo-Think terminology. I have noticed that such changes are also occurring in our everyday expressions. My question is : Is the vibrations of the Universe causing an ever so slight rise to a higher consciousness? Could this be some of the reasons for all the chaos , uncertainty, unrest and giddiness that mankind is experiencing right now? .

    All you Apple users out there, and I am not referring to Jonathans and the Winesap varieties, It’s good to be Tim Cook! The Apple CEO made over 136 Million in 2018, and part of that was a 12 million dollar bonus, plus an additional $300.000 for private jets and miscellaneous expenses ,(That’s a lot of paper clips!) and he got all that in the midst of a sales slump in I-phones in China. The report also indicated they paid an 25.6 Million each to 5 other folks on the board of directors.

    Forest, will be looking forward to your talk on the school of genius this Tuesday night. Love will keep us together.

32. JANUARY 12, 2019

    GOOD MORNING WAYNE, AND ALL MY OTHER FELLOW NEO-THINKER FRIENDS, —

    CHARLIE CALLED ME THIS WEEK, AND GAVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO MY PRESENTATION ABOUT “BIOLOGICAL IMMORTALITY.” I WILL BE PRESENTING IT ON THE SCHOOL OF GENIUS CALL — THIS COMING TUESDAY, — JANUARY 15, 2019.

    I WILL USE IT AS A “TRIBUTE” TO OUR MUCH LOVED MENTOR, — STEVE FAGAN, — BECAUSE I KNOW THAT HE WANTED TO ACHIEVE THIS AS WELL.

    SO COME AND JOIN US FOR THIS “SPECIAL” PRESENTATION.

    WITH SINCERETY AND MUCH LOVE FOR ALL OF YOU.

    CAROL AND FOREST

33. 1/11/19 Not that I am complaining or anything but my tired and tattered body and mind was looking for some extra strong inspiration on this Friday. I hit the buttons to turn my FB on , and a couple of sayings or quotes started wiping away some of the cobwebs in my bicameral mind and was able to stir up some old soul energy. “You cannot control the wind but you can direct the sail”. The actual person who wrote that is unresolved, but the story was about a lady who was diagnosed with cancer and opted not to take the chemo, but instead spent the remaining year of her life traveling, seeing all the sights of our battered nation, and doing things she wanted to do like air ballooning and just living her life. Tim McGraw tells the same story in a song, where the person went sky-diving and riding a bull called Fumanchu. Our own Annie posted on Deliberate Creators, the obituary for Steve’s death, and that triggered this thought. As long as we are still living in this A/C world where we still don’t have cures for human diseases, and biological immortality is still a distant possibility, will we ever be finished ? NOBODY has ever accomplished all they wanted to do or planned to do. Just a thought, OK? I will close this with a post that our own Donna Santarsiero Ritch left today. “You can’t always have a good day but you can face a bad day with a good attitude. ” Remember, Love will keep us together.

34. 1/9/19 Last night the program was from the Rise of Neo-tech, and covered concepts 8, 9 and 10. #10 is about looking for unlimited happiness and # 11 is the Happiness test. I may be 80 yrs old, and in a wheel chair, but I am still alive and still kicking down some doors. .Two columns appear on this test, one labeled ” Shrinking happiness”” , and the other is labeled ” Growing happiness.” I am happy to report that I came up with a positive score. Several black marks might be that without thinking, I may be inclined to still accept and act on various forms of mysticisms or faiths, and another might be “blocking ” awareness of body, muscles in chronic tension, and shallow breathing. Miss Kay keeps trying her darnedest to teach us a form of meditation. Someone said it’s your choice to be happy or not, they are absolutely correct. Admittedly, it can be a difficult task sometimes. The last 5 years has been a constant stream of family and friends passing on as a constant reminder, but we have to look for the positives and take time to reflect,e and sometimes smile on the happy times That’s what memories should be about. Remember. love will keep us together.

35. 1/8/19
    I have been sitting here staring out this bedroom window for I don’t know how long. The prairie looks so peaceful and serene today. On the surface it appears the Universe is well and good. The Sun is coming up to meet the day in an absolutely clear blue sky. Nope, not a cloud or a chemtrail insight. Tim McGraw is on the radio crooning his latest hit “Neon Church”. Tim’s voice is beginning to sound more raspy and mellow like good blended whisky, a reminder that here in the A/C we still have not found the edge on aging, and even though life expectancy has improved in recent years we are still a long way from finding a cure for aging and biological immortality. I didn’t put enough Folgers coffee in the Bunn this morning, therefore I am not getting my early dawn buzz. So what are my thoughts turning to this week so far? Pete turned me on to a really good video, Forest explained how he inadvertently put hemorrhoid cream on his tooth brush many eons ago, (That explains his bright smile!) My Judith is beginning to sound like the angel she used to be, Charlie sent me ,along with the other members of our society, the healing energy that I still need. Thanks guys. Miss Kay is still working on getting me convinced that meditation can keep me grounded. and Pauline, come back home. . SO, what can I say! I LOVE my friends and this society. Last but definitely not least , a note in my book reminded me that Steve will always be with us. Time out is over and now it’s time to return to the stark reality of a battered planet we call Earth. As an optimist and a warrior for justice , I still believe good will overcome evil every time. Thanks for reading and thanks for the space to leave you with some of my most inner random thoughts. Do you suppose this is how a God-man should think?

    @ 7:00 p.m. P.S.T.

    Good Evening Wayne, Cheryl, and your Computer Genius Cat!!
    You stated that you are in “Dire Need” of an Eye Exam right now, but I think that “I” needed one at the age of 13 years. You see, — I was enjoying one of my Summer time visits with my Grandparents at their home. I had just finished eating supper with them, and went into the restroom to brush my teeth. I grabbed the tube of toothpaste and put some of it on my Toothbrush. But when I looked at it on the Toothbrush, — it just didn’t look familiar to me. So I picked up the toothpaste, and looked at it more closely. I had almost put it on my front teeth, but when I saw what it really was, — I Washed It Off “IMMEDIATELY!” It was a Tube full of “Hemorrhoid

    2.
    Ointment!!” I thought to myself – that it probably would have “TASTED” like the area for which it was intended!! Anyway, — I was so glad that I discovered what it was – before I used it!! It might have turned me into one of those “Humanoids” that you wrote about in your Post. Talk about the energies of Awareness, Alertness, and the “Third Eye??” At the age of 13 years, — I don’t think that I was using ANY of them.

    Now, — Does this make you feel that I helped you out of a questionable state of mind, — or am I just a little bit “GOOFY??”

    You wrote that Robert said the Bible was a book of “SCIENCE” – until they “CHANGED” it!!

    3.
    Well, — I can tell you for a “CERTAINTY” – that I found that it contains MORE SCIENCE than most of the Other Science Books I have ever read, and this is the reason I have been able to do Public Speaking to many diverse audiences, revealing things which they never knew existed. Of course, I used many other Scientific Authors discoveries to COMPARE all of the Sources of the subjects which I was presenting to them.

    A Few People even accused me of FOCUSING on only “SUPERNATURAL” things, and my Response to them was this:
    “Did you ever “NOTICE” — that “EVERYTHING” JESUS DID” on this earth, was “SUPERNATURAL??”
    They had obviously NEVER NOTICED these things. And they “CLAIM” to know “SO MUCH” – but they

    4.
    cannot explain the things which they have never studied in Depth. They most definitely were never like Steve (Digger) Fagan, because they had not been “DIGGING” – Below the Surface of what Jesus actually taught. “HE” focused on the Abilities of the “MIND,” their “Lack of Belief,” and their “Spiritual Blindness.”
    Steve Fagan talked about people who just accept what they are “TOLD” – with “BLIND FAITH” – never doing any Deep Study for themselves.

    This is just plain “STUPIDITY” and I can never Accept That!!

    Sincerely, and with Love for ALL of you.
    Carol and Forest

37. 1/6/19… Good Morning! I am in dire need of an eye exam again and my ability to write cursive is in question also. For instance , going back through some of my notes while looking for a subject to post today, I ran across the following notes from 6/20/17, School of genius.. The subject prior to Judith’s talk was about the young American that was tortured to death by the North Koreans,— (lest we forget) and then Miss Judith spoke about the energy of awareness and alertness and the third eye. Also the word polymers , and a description that appears to be hemorrhoids , but on further investigation, I do believe it might have been “humanoids.” Somebody help me out here!
    Interesting tidbit: Robert says the bible was a book of SCIENCE – not religion- until they changed it. Have a great new week, and love is what will keep us together.

38. I have been reading another book called ” The ONE thing” by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. I am not taking anything away from those guys, but we have been spoiled and very lucky to have been exposed to Neo-Think. They used such terminology as “Happiness happen s on the way to fulfillment ” , Now doesn’t that sound a lot like what a “Creative Value” does? They said “Discover your purpose by asking yourself what drives you. What’s the one thing that gets you up in the morning and keeps you going when you’re tired and worn down?” He also said ” I sometimes refer to this as your “Big Why”. It’s why your excited with life”! . Wouldn’t it have been easier to say . “FNE”.? They also talk about training your mind to think, and how to connect one goal with the next over time until you know the most important thing you must do right now. Your learning to think big. Doesn’t that sound a lot like power thinking and putting all the puzzle pieces together? Ok, one more. This is a quote from a Margarita Tartkovsky. “Productivity isn’t about being a workhorse , keeping busy or burning the midnight oil . It’s more about priorities , planning , and fiercely protecting your time”. Aw yes, the mini-day schedule just appeared. Enough of this nonsense .. but we already know the answers. Love will keep us together. Thanks Daryl Dragon, RIP.

39. Saturday, January 05, 2019

    Good Morning Wayne, Cheryl, and Anonymous,
    I Really enjoyed reading your Posts Wayne, and I have a question. Did your CAT write the “Anonymous” note, or did YOU?? I “AGREE” with your CAT, — that “NOTHING” that is “Supposed” to be humorous even comes CLOSE to making me Laugh any more. I just avoid those “Comedies,” because to ME, — it is just a waste of my Precious Time!! I don’t like wasting time, and I never HAVE liked it.
    I liked George Carlin’s humorous statement – when he said: “I do this real moron thing, it’s called thinking… and I am not a very good American because I like to form my OWN opinions.”

    2.
    I must be his Twin Brother, because I do the Very Same Thing. I have been a “Very ‘DEEP’ Thinker” for most of my life. I don’t know if anyone else thought of me as a “MORON,” but if Deep Thinking makes a person become a moron, then I will continue to be a Deep Thinker – and even More So! I don’t care what anyone else may think, because “They Don’t Know” what “I” know, “Don’t Understand” what “I” understand, and they are “Not Experiencing” what “I” am Experiencing!!

    It is Very Easy to “Disbelieve,” to “Ridicule,” or to “Laugh” about something that another person Claims to know, — when it is not being experienced by those who are “Laughing” with a scornful attitude. Why should “I” care what “they” think!! It is “Their Loss” – not mine!!

    3.
    The Humor is “ALL MINE” to enjoy, because I can “Laugh at Their Ignorance and Stupidity!” No, I am not “SO SERIOUS” that I can’t laugh at something that is really funny; but most of the time I find that the “ANTICS” in the behavior of Cats or Dogs can get me laughing so hard that my belly gets tight and sore.
    I can remember one of the times when I was spending the week-end at my Brother’s home; he had one of our mutual friends visiting with him at the same time. This mutual friend had a Real Talent with regard to creating Comedy. He got us started by telling us a joke or a series of funny stories. Before we could stop laughing at the FIRST story he told us, he would tell us something else that would make us laugh even harder. He just kept it up and kept it up – one story after another – until we were laughing so hard that we yelled – STOP, STOP, STOP,

    4.
    because we couldn’t get our breath between his stories and we actually started CRYING, and the “TEARS” were running down our cheeks, — just from LAUGHING so hard. That is a REAL TALENT to create that kind of Comedy.

    While I was employed at one of the Companies during my working years, I met a young fellow who told a story that might have come from one of “Don Rickles” series of Comedies. Don Rickles was a MASTER at making Comedies by Throwing “INSULTS” at people.
    Anyway, the statement repeated by this fellow employee went like this:

    5.
    “You’re “SO DUMB” – that if they put “YOUR BRAIN” on the “EDGE of a RAZOR BLADE” – it would be like a “PEA” rolling down a FOUR LANE HIGWAY!!

    This one got me laughing, and I never forgot it.
    I don’t know if I will ever become able to make people laugh like that, but it would be enjoyable to do so.
    I have found that my talent appears to be one of Investigating Science and being able to do Public Speaking regarding this subject. I enjoy the Sciences, because you can explore the possibilities that are not available to those who are NOT deep thinkers. Our Wonderful Mentor, — Steve Fagan, — was a “Deep Thinker” – an “Explorer” – who “Dug Down “Deep” into the Literature written by Frank R.

    6.
    Wallace and Mark Hamilton. He worked HARD to bring its Gems of Value Creation to the attention of all the members, and he gave us one opportunity after another to “Come Out of The Shadows” and become one of the Neo-Think Team Members, who wanted to become “Role Models” for this Society. I “Welcomed” this opportunity, and I Love to make Presentations to all the members.
    Steve opened the door for me, to do Public Speaking for the benefit of Not Only Myself, but for all the Other Members as well. I “MISS” Steve Fagan, and I have Recorded his Telephone Outgoing Message “TWICE” now, and of course, — I have all of the Recorded Presentations in which Steve (Digger) was our Leader. I will “TREASURE” every one of these recorded messages, and will SAVE every one of them. I Trust that Mark Hamilton will see to it that we never lose those recorded messages.

    7.
    I have felt a “Close Relationship” between Steve and Myself, because of our Personal Conversations together. I will “MISS” those Conversations, even though they were “Not As Frequent” as the Conversations between Him and Charlie Moore!! They were REAL BUDDIES, and Charlie Broke into Tears, as he said: “I ‘MISS’ HIM – “SO MUCH!!”
    WE will ALL – “MISS HIM” – from the Depths of our Hearts!!
    I may choose to speak of my own Tribute to Steve, when I make my next Presentation.
    So, Until Then, as you have often urged us Wayne, — “Spread the Love” and “Keep your Honesty”

    Sincerely, and With Much Love,
    Carol and Forest

40. I know the above story is not Neo-Think but I felt compelled to post it since it had such an extra-ordinary message.
    It is a great motivating piece, but I am willing to bet we have enough mature members in our society who could deliver a talk like that , having lived and experienced this thing we call “life”. If you skimmed over it , you might want to go back and read it in it’s entirety. Thanks for reading and thanks for this space to post it. Did I say I love you?

41. In Nashville, Tennessee, during the first week of January, 1996, more than 4,000 baseball coaches descended upon the Opryland Hotel for the 52nd annual ABCA convention. Nineteen times since, many of the same professional, college, high school, youth, and a slew of international coaches from passionate and developing baseball nations have gathered at various convention hotels across the country for two-and-half days of clinic presentations and industry exhibits. Sure, many members of the American Baseball Coaches Association have come and gone in those years; the leadership has been passed, nepotistically, from Dave Keilitz to his son, Craig; and the association — and baseball, in general — has lost some of its greatest coaches, including Rod Dedeaux, Gordie Gillespie, and Chuck “Bobo” Brayton.

    I have attended all but three conventions in those nineteen years, and I have enjoyed and benefited from each of them. But ’96 was special — not just because it was held in the home of country music, a town I’d always wanted to visit. And not because I was attending my very first convention. Nashville in ’96 was special because it was there and then that I learned that baseball — the thing that had brought 4,000 of us together — was merely a metaphor for my own life and those of the players I hoped to impact.

    While I waited in line to register with the hotel staff, I heard other more veteran coaches rumbling about the lineup of speakers scheduled to present during the weekend. One name, in particular, kept resurfacing, always with the same sentiment — “John Scolinos is here? Oh man, worth every penny of my airfare.”

    Who the hell is John Scolinos, I wondered. No matter, I was just happy to be there.

    Having sensed the size of the group during check-in, I woke early the next morning in order to ensure myself a good seat near the stage — first chair on the right side of the center isle, third row back — where I sat, alone, for an hour until the audio-visual techs arrived to fine-tune their equipment. The proverbial bee bee in a boxcar, I was surrounded by empty chairs in a room as large as a football field. Eventually, I was joined by other, slightly less eager, coaches until the room was filled to capacity. By the time Augie Garrido was introduced to deliver the traditional first presentation from the previous season’s College World Series winner, there wasn’t an empty chair in the room.

    ABCA conventions have a certain party-like quality to them. They provide a wonderful opportunity to re-connect with old friends from a fraternal game that often spreads its coaches all over the country. As such, it is common for coaches to bail out of afternoon clinic sessions in favor of old friends and the bar. As a result, I discovered, the crowd is comparatively sparse after lunch, and I had no trouble getting my seat back, even after grabbing a plastic-wrapped sandwich off the shelf at the Opryland gift shop.

    I woke early the next morning and once again found myself alone in the massive convention hall, reviewing my notes from the day before: pitching mechanics, hitting philosophy, team practice drills. All technical and typical — important stuff for a young coach, and I was in Heaven. At the end of the morning session, certain that I had accurately scouted the group dynamic and that my seat would again be waiting for me after lunch, I allowed myself a few extra minutes to sit down and enjoy an overpriced sandwich in one of the hotel restaurants. But when I returned to the convention hall thirty minutes before the lunch break ended, not only was my seat not available, barely any seats were available! I managed to find one between two high school coaches, both proudly adorned in their respective team caps and jackets. Disappointed in myself for losing my seat up front, I wondered what had pried all these coaches from their barstools. I found the clinic schedule in my bag: “1 PM John Scolinos, Cal Poly Pomona.” It was the man whose name I had heard buzzing around the lobby two days earlier. Could he be the reason that all 4,000 coaches had returned, early, to the convention hall? Wow, I thought, this guy must really be good.

    I had no idea.

    In 1996, Coach Scolinos was 78 years old and five years retired from a college coaching career that began in 1948. He shuffled to the stage to an impressive standing ovation, wearing dark polyester pants, a light blue shirt, and a string around his neck from which home plate hung — a full-sized, stark-white home plate.

    Seriously, I wondered, who in the hell is this guy?

    After speaking for twenty-five minutes, not once mentioning the prop hanging around his neck, Coach Scolinos appeared to notice the snickering among some of the coaches. Even those who knew Coach Scolinos had to wonder exactly where he was going with this, or if he had simply forgotten about home plate since he’d gotten on stage.

    Then, finally …

    “You’re probably all wondering why I’m wearing home plate around my neck. Or maybe you think I escaped from Camarillo State Hospital,” he said, his voice growing irascible. I laughed along with the others, acknowledging the possibility. “No,” he continued, “I may be old, but I’m not crazy. The reason I stand before you today is to share with you baseball people what I’ve learned in my life, what I’ve learned about home plate in my 78 years.”

    Several hands went up when Scolinos asked how many Little League coaches were in the room. “Do you know how wide home plate is in Little League?” After a pause, someone offered, “Seventeen inches,” more question than answer.

    “That’s right,” he said. “How about in Babe Ruth? Any Babe Ruth coaches in the house?”

    Another long pause.

    “Seventeen inches?”came a guess from another reluctant coach.

    “That’s right,” said Scolinos. “Now, how many high school coaches do we have in the room?” Hundreds of hands shot up, as the pattern began to appear. “How wide is home plate in high school baseball?”

    “Seventeen inches,” they said, sounding more confident.

    “You’re right!” Scolinos barked. “And you college coaches, how wide is home plate in college?”

    “Seventeen inches!” we said, in unison.

    “Any Minor League coaches here? How wide is home plate in pro ball?”

    “Seventeen inches!”

    “RIGHT! And in the Major Leagues, how wide home plate is in the Major Leagues?”

    “Seventeen inches!”

    “SEV-EN-TEEN INCHES!” he confirmed, his voice bellowing off the walls. “And what do they do with a a Big League pitcher who can’t throw the ball over seventeen inches?” Pause. “They send him to Pocatello!” he hollered, drawing raucous laughter.

    “What they don’t do is this: they don’t say, ‘Ah, that’s okay, Jimmy. You can’t hit a seventeen-inch target? We’ll make it eighteen inches, or nineteen inches. We’ll make it twenty inches so you have a better chance of hitting it. If you can’t hit that, let us know so we can make it wider still, say twenty-five inches.’”

    Pause.

    “Coaches …”

    Pause.

    ” … what do we do when our best player shows up late to practice? When our team rules forbid facial hair and a guy shows up unshaven? What if he gets caught drinking? Do we hold him accountable? Or do we change the rules to fit him, do we widen home plate?

    The chuckles gradually faded as four thousand coaches grew quiet, the fog lifting as the old coach’s message began to unfold. He turned the plate toward himself and, using a Sharpie, began to draw something. When he turned it toward the crowd, point up, a house was revealed, complete with a freshly drawn door and two windows. “This is the problem in our homes today. With our marriages, with the way we parent our kids. With our discipline. We don’t teach accountability to our kids, and there is no consequence for failing to meet standards. We widen the plate!”

    Pause. Then, to the point at the top of the house he added a small American flag.

    “This is the problem in our schools today. The quality of our education is going downhill fast and teachers have been stripped of the tools they need to be successful, and to educate and discipline our young people. We are allowing others to widen home plate! Where is that getting us?”

    Silence. He replaced the flag with a Cross.

    “And this is the problem in the Church, where powerful people in positions of authority have taken advantage of young children, only to have such an atrocity swept under the rug for years. Our church leaders are widening home plate!”

    I was amazed. At a baseball convention where I expected to learn something about curveballs and bunting and how to run better practices, I had learned something far more valuable. From an old man with home plate strung around his neck, I had learned something about life, about myself, about my own weaknesses and about my responsibilities as a leader. I had to hold myself and others accountable to that which I knew to be right, lest our families, our faith, and our society continue down an undesirable path.

    “If I am lucky,” Coach Scolinos concluded, “you will remember one thing from this old coach today. It is this: if we fail to hold ourselves to a higher standard, a standard of what we know to be right; if we fail to hold our spouses and our children to the same standards, if we are unwilling or unable to provide a consequence when they do not meet the standard; and if our schools and churches and our government fail to hold themselves accountable to those they serve, there is but one thing to look forward to …”

    With that, he held home plate in front of his chest, turned it around, and revealed its dark black backside.

    “… dark days ahead.”

    Coach Scolinos died in 2009 at the age of 91, but not before touching the lives of hundreds of players and coaches, including mine. Meeting him at my first ABCA convention kept me returning year after year, looking for similar wisdom and inspiration from other coaches. He is the best clinic speaker the ABCA has ever known because he was so much more than a baseball coach.

    His message was clear: “Coaches, keep your players — no matter how good they are — your own children, and most of all, keep yourself at seventeen inches.”

    He was, indeed, worth the airfare.

42. PART 11===My cat accidently walked across my computer while I was taking a break, therefore.. part 2. As I was saying one of the last stand-up humorists was George Carlin, who also passed in 2008. One of his lines was ” I do this real moron thing, it’s called thinking… and I am not a very good American because I like to form my OWN opinions.
    Dr. Wallace wrote: Spontaneous humor is a highly individualized characteristic that reflects a person’s sense of life. . Humor can also identify a person’s psychology and philosophy , and is a product of lateral or horizontal thinking. Through horizontal thinking , a new and unexpected way to look at something as developed. That surprise contrast between the conventional , expected view and the new unexpected view is the essence of humor. The nature of that newly created view reflects the sense of life in both those who create and those who respond to that particular humor. The spontaneous response to humor is a quick automatic indicator of that persons sense of life. That is benevolent or malevolent even when they try. few people can conceal or successfully fake their response to humor. This identification of a persons sense of life through humor is often quite reliable, understanding the nature of humor helps identify one sense of life as well as other people — Also a compatibility is one of the most enjoyable aspects of friendship and romantic love relationships. Thanks for reading, sorry about miss Gypsy Rose’s walk on the key board, and keep on loving. you will better.

43. 1/4/19/ So today we talk about ADV# 78- Humor….. From my viewpoint, NOTHING makes me happier than to be around someone with a good or great sense of humor. Someone who sees a more positive approach to life when the subject is deep and serious , but they make it easier to accept. They must still be out there, ( good humorists) who can still deliver a sad or ironic story, and still make you smile, but these days nothing I hear is funny. Maybe my sense of humor has changed, however yesterday I had consultation with a lady surgeon who made me feel more comfortable and better about an upcoming surgery. I recall in the 60’s ,70,s and even the 80’s and 90’s we laughed our butts off from current satire from programs like Saturday Night live, Laugh -in, and every country boy’s favorite, Hee-Haw, Todays humor on the big screen just leaves me cold and wondering why I bother to watch it in the first place. The last of the great stand-up humorists was

44. 1/1/19 To whom it may concern. This is the plight of a country boy doing his very best to escape the A/C . Quite frankly I am still looking for closure from the recent passing of our beloved and most devoted mentor, Steve Fagan. As a member of the “Face to the World” Neo-Think society since 2012 or thereabouts. I feel quite disappointed that no one in the higher echelon came forward with an explanation or any acknowledgement what so ever. Surely Steve deserved better than that. This organization, or at least the one I associate myself with, is based on pure honesty and pure love ,but In this case, I felt neither. Thank You for the space to write this, and I wish you love.

45. 1/1/ 2019. According to the calendar, another year just rolled around, so it’s time to circle up the wagons, gather around the campfire, and after Miss Kay leads us in some much needed meditation, we need to integrate our thoughts even though each and everyone of us are capable of being a self leader. We are not the first wagon train to loose our wagon master, and it’s time to move the lead scout up to the front and continue forward. Rumor has it my name sake Joseph Smith crossed the prairie and over the Wasatch in spite of also having to deal with the various enemies hiding in the shadows and hoping to destroy his group, but finally made it to the Salt flats of Utah by dealing with problems when they came to them. Once the journey was completed, it took some time, but they prospered, lived a healthy life, found peace and more or less started their own visions party. So stay the course mates, WE CAN DO THE SAME ! They, The Mormon church, might have had you believe they had an invisible outside external leader, but I say they did it with pure guts and sheer determination. Unify and Love. I see and hear it all the time with our great and wonderful group. WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for allowing me the space to voice this.

46. 12/29/18 As we prepare to go into a new year of uncertainty, Most of us feel like we have been ambushed and it’s been increasingly harder to avoid the state of the nation. The following is an excerpt from PAX- Neo-Tech, written by Dr. Wallace Eighteen years ago, and defines what is happening today. ” Since Pericles in the fifth century BC Greece, every democracy self-destructs in seas of dishonesties, and irrationalities. WHY? Because the electorate and elected become symbiotically infested with “gimme” populism and criminal socialism/fascism. In that process, earned capital is increasingly forced into parasitical hands. A process that continually diminishes conscious life toward decline and death. If not the politics of democracy, then what? Realize that the responsibility of consciousness is to render human life eternally creative, prosperous and joyful. That responsibility falls up on neither politics or religion, but on conscious individuals fulfilling their value creating/value producing nature. The way to meet that responsibility is NOT via a rule-by-man populist democracy but via a rule-by-law constitutional republic that protects the life , liberty, property, and sanctity of contract for each and every individual. ” . This kind of talk on FB or in an open forum could probably give the A/C people a reason to horsewhip, or even hang by the neck, but it is 100 % right on. Thanks for reading, and for the space to post. Love everybody, but if you cant love them, show respect.

47. Hi Forest and Carol. Yes , I would listen to your informative program, so let me know when it is going to air. Hope you guys are doing ok. When does Carol have the knee replacement? Those sound pretty painful, and I wish her nothing but the best. The excitement at our house today is that Cheryl got the results of her DNA tests back, that was my Christmas present to her this year. It turned out just about the way I had expected. She is 71 % French and German, 4% Nordic( Norway and Sweden) and 25% Ireland and England. (UK) . I knew beforehand, my great grandparents had lived approx. 60 Miles from Paris, and took a ship from LeFarve , France, to New Jersey not that many years ago, and that proved out. It’s Amazing what a little spit in a bottle can tell us these days. I went on the website and posted in the book at Steve’s funeral. They had a mess of pics, and Charlie had posted a very heart felt piece. I am going to continue to post until they take this site down. It is extremely hard when my mind isn’t into it right now. Love you guys.

48. December 27, 2018
    11:50 a.m.

    We have 10 minutes left before Noon today, and I started writing this on the Wikipedia site two days ago, but just as I was approaching the last sentence of my paragraph, my Computer decided to “Freeze Up.” Well, it was too close to my Bed time, and I was falling asleep at the keyboard and couldn’t start all over again – at that point. So Now, — I will start over again and can be sure that I will be able to finish this by a few minutes past Noon.

    I don’t know if it costs Mark extra money to keep this site open, but like you, — I hope that this site stays open for a long time. I would hope that many others will start posting again as well.

    2.
    Yes, I “WAS” teasing you with those 10 questions, but the “Questions” – and the “Answers,” — are “Intensely Real.” I want to present this Subject to “ALL” my fellow Neo-Thinkers – because so many of our Members are becoming ill with Devastating Terminal Diseases!! CANCER is just one of them. As you know, Steve had Heart Disease, and many of our members are becoming ILL with Terminal Diseases.
    I wanted Steve to hear this Presentation because I know that he would have looked into the Various Experiences that could have eliminated his Heart Disease, — and he might still be Alive and still with us. I hoped that this would have been the Answer that he needed. This is my Ultimate Goal for as many other Members who could take advantage of this information and finally GET WELL!! This information can help “YOU” too, Wayne.

    3.
    The information which you watched on You-tube sounded rather “Familiar” to me, and I will tell you more about this in a couple of minutes. You are absolutely correct in stating that the Elite and Big Pharma can’t make money on a perfectly healthy specimen. However, there is “A Lot More To It” than that!! They also want to Reduce the Population in America and they have “DOZENS of WAYS” to accomplish this!! It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to reduce the American Population, while allowing ILLEGAL ALIENS, Terrorists, Murderers, and Gangs to FLOOD through Our Border with “WHO KNOWS” how many LETHAL DRUGS – by the “Thousands” at the same time!!

    The Healing “CHAMBER” which you were writing about may actually be what is known as – A

    4.
    “Hyperbaric Chamber” which an Elite, or Wealthy person can enter and take treatments which can HEAL Terrible Wounds, Serious Surgeries, Terminal Diseases – In Less Than “HALF THE TIME” that it would take to bring healing “OUTSIDE” of that Special Chamber!! The Hyperbaric Chamber makes use of “OXYGEN” – which is administered to a person and it works by creating TWICE the Amount of Atmospheric Pressure which we normally breathe at Sea Level. This Atmospheric Pressure is “14.7 Lbs per Square Inch” at Sea Level. This would be an Amospheric Pressure which is “29.4 Lbs. per Square Inch.” Oxygen is a Very “HEALING” part of our Health and Well Being. However, taking these Treatments is VERY EXPENSIVE, most people just “Cannot Afford that Expense!!”

    5.
    The Information which I am ready to Present to ALL of the Members – “Makes it Possible” for the Average Person to take complete control over their Health, — “Without” Relying or Depending upon the Doctors, Cardiologists, Surgeons and Prescription Drugs, which NEVER CURE YOU of any Disease whatsoever!! Yes, they can treat you, and Save Your Life in an Emergency, but it is only for a short period of time. They prescribe at least 6 to 7 Drugs, to start taking after your Surgery, and sometimes MORE than that. From that point it is a Downward Spiral toward your “DEATH” – and you Pay Hundreds or Thousands of Dollars a year for your Doctor’s Care, and for the Drugs he or she prescribes!! This is an “Absolute Guarantee” – that YOU WILL “NEVER” GET WELL!! The information I will Present “CAN” make you Well again, and it rests with YOU to make the decision to “ACT” on it!!

    6.
    This is just a Small Part of what I want to present to all of the Members in this Neo-Think Society. I will not go into any more detail about these things on this site. As soon as possible, I will contact Charlie and make the effort to set up a time to Present it.

    Sincerely, and with Much Love for you, Cheryl, and ALL my fellow Neo-Thinkers.
    Forest

49. How utterly appropriate that while scrambling for something to write down the site for Digger’s memorial, I had written in a note book the following words. The Third dimension–Physical reality of the conscious being–and the plane of thought and mind……………Fourth dimension–Time travel—–Fifth…….Feeling of the heart. I have no recollection of ever writing these words, but there they were. Today, I am at a loss for words and that seldom happens so will close with this quote from Stephen Hawking.
    “Look up at the stars
    and not down at your feet.
    Try to make sense of what you see,
    and wonder about what makes the Universe exist. “

50. Just wondering : How many John Melbournes do you suppose we have sent back ?

51. 12/26/18.. Ok, Ascension is a good word. The book is done! now off to editing, and a cover shot, It was amazing, When Steve said I should write it as a creative value, I said, Heck I got nothing to say, but yet never quite figured out where to end it. The underlying theme is that it turned out to be a labor of love, and if it was only a value to me, it was well worth it. I would like to believe I am a great Neo-Think person, however there is no club house, and open mic talks have been a dismal failure, but maybe another avenue will appear. I cant help feeling that the future of our society is in jeopardy right now, so I will close with this. LOVE!!! My daughter Cheryl, who fights her own battles with an incurable disease, sure never seen in her future to be the caregiver to me. She is my rock, and keeps the light on for me. A simple thanks will never be enough.

52. !2/24/18 Christmas Eve. Have a happy holiday no matter how you celebrate. My Christmas open letter comes directly from several note books containing information from the many programs in the last 6 years.
    Jesus Christ of Nazareth: Was the first Godman on Earth, and was one of the first to try and convert man from a bicameral mind to a conscious man and that is why the elite killed him. Contextualism serves, preserves, and protects principles and morals……Brilliant writers and cunning editors from about 100-400 AD inverted the independent -thinking, pro-individualistic , anti-authority teachings of a gentle rebel, they then fictionalized him into a theistic mystic by weaving an agenda driven story line into a poetically-seductive bible that evolved into the King James version written with extra ordinary grace and beauty. The writings of Dr. Wallace said that the 3 greatest educators of all time were Confucius, Aristotle and Jesus Christ.
    A recurring thought keeps happening over and over again, and so I just have to speak up, We recently lost our mentor, guidance counselor, and good friend, but out of the conversation with different society members the same theme kept surfacing, in that almost without exception, everyone “sensed” something in advance. Our elite group may be small in comparison , but our awareness is undeniably ahead of the anti-civilization, and most of our group has already attained some level of higher consciousness and are preparing for the coming transcendence.

53. Hi Forest and Carol. Thanks for posting on the Wiki vs page. It would please me so much if we could keep this page open for a long time. It has been an avenue of self expression for myself, and we are 14,448 integrations. Please, let’s make it to 15,000. ……Some of the questions you were teasing us with in your last post , for instance, why do we only treat the symptoms rather find cures for diseases is because the Elite and Big Pharma can’t make money on a perfectly healthy specimen, and I recently watched a piece on You-tube that said the deep state and the 1% actually have deep in the chambers of an undisclosed location, a healing chamber where they can heal cancers and other diseases in record time. A case example that was mentioned was President Jimmie Carter. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with stage four cancer and was sure to die.. Well , he is now 94, and seems to be in excellent health. “They” went on to say that this hidden technology has been available to the elite for quite some time for those who wish to extend their lives an extra 20 plus years. Who am I to doubt that, considering how many wealthy people such as the Rothchild’s and the Rockefellers and other royalty seem to have found that magic elixir . Ok, no mysticisms here.

54. 12/22/18 Can you hear it, That voice telling us that we need to come out of the shadows.? Currently this has been my way of doing just that. Ramblings today guys, I have still not recovered from this most tragic week for Neo-Think.
    Maddie Poppe, Caleb Hutchison, Chevel Shepard, Kennedy Holmes , and all of the voices of angels, all who have found refuge in the Art of music, your voices release something in our brain that soothes our souls and gives you the power for a short while to make everything right in a tumultuous and disturbed Universe. It can be all genres of musical compositions with a multitude of different sounds and rhythms and still leave us with the same effect. Our past Mentor liked to open the Senior’s call with music by Michael Bubl’e and Sinatra, which goes to prove that no matter what he accomplished in his lifetime, he was still a Jersey boy. I believe that most music could be considered an integration to form or blend into a whole, and unites with something else, and incorporates into a larger unit. ( A whole and complete message,) Music can make us happy, nostalgic, sad, remindful, and a truck load of other things. Mark says happiness puts things in remission, and that Don Quixote is about achieving dreams that come from building values , and happiness comes from a lifetime of honesty. To dream the impossible . And what about love? That’s a whole new different subject. Thanks for letting my mind wander today.

55. Saturday, December 22, 2018
    Good morning my fellow Neo-Thinkers, — and with Response to Wayne and Judith for their Posts.
    I just want you all to know, — That Tuesday Morning, December 18, 2018, I called Steve (Digger) Fagan to let him know that I had “Finished” typing out my 2nd Presentation – covering the subject of “Biological Immortality.” I had talked with him about this nearly 3 weeks Prior to my announcement to him – that I was “Ready” to make the 2nd Presentation. He was asking me to tell him about what I wanted to Present.
    So, I gave him the introduction to my subject – which is a “Series Of 10 Questions” – covering the “WHYS” and the “CAUSES” of the Diseases that all of us are facing, or wanting to know how to “Avoid.” Steve was Very Interested when I revealed

    2.
    the 10 questions involving the Subject I would be Presenting. During the following 3 weeks – Steve revealed his interest in the reasons “WHY” so many Children whose ages were from 6 to 12 years are “DYING” from Cancer. This left the door Wide Open to introduce my upcoming Presentation. When I called him on December 18th to let him know I was “Ready to Present the Subject,” — He Never Called Me Back!! This was just “NOT” the way Steve ever did things. He was ALWAYS “Prompt” in calling me back – within 0ne to Three Hours.
    Then – when he didn’t Join us on the School of Genius Call that night, — I “SENSED” that Something was Very Wrong. Charlie was also concerned, because he didn’t know why Steve never joined us that night.

    3.
    I called Charlie on Wednesday Morning at 7:30 a.m. Pacific Time, and he had just heard the news – 20 minutes earlier, — that Steve had Passed Away. I was “SO SHOCKED” – that it felt like a Ton of Bricks had hit me in the Gut. – It was like an overwhelming “ACHE” on the insides of my body. The following Thursday Night, Charlie told all of us that Steve had Passed away. Charlie Broke down and “Cried” for a few minutes – until he could regain his composure. He and Steve were Very Close Friends, and he said that he had Never had a Male Friend like Steve was to him, and I could hear his voice breaking – when he said, — “I ‘MISS’ him!!”

    Well, — Charlie, — I didn’t have as much time with Steve as you had, but I learned to Love Him Dearly!! Steve was “SO NICE,” SO FRIENDLY, SO SUPPORTIVE

    4.
    of all the efforts I made – to be a “Role Model” for this Society, that to “ME” – Steve threw the door wide open for me – and once again I had the opportunity to do Public Speaking – just as I had done so many times in the past. I had been asked “Many Times” to speak to Church Congregations, Youth Camps, Singles Groups, Young Adults’ Meetings, and — Like Steve, — I was involved with performing in Quartets, Octets, Trios, Solos and in Choirs. I took part in singing with the Public High School Choirs, during my entire High School Education years.
    When I did Public Speaking in these various places, I could use all of my studies in the Sciences to Present Subjects to them — from a perspective that most of them had never heard before!! This opened the door for even more opportunities for Public Speaking.

    5.
    Just a few years ago, I received an Invitation Letter from Mark Hamilton, letting me know, that I now qualified to become a part of the “League”, and was told that one of his best Mentors would be speaking to me. As I introduced myself, Steve “Welcomed” me to the Society, and not long afterward he Encouraged me to “Come Out Of The Shadows” and give as many Presentations as I could to all of the members.
    After I had finished my First Presentation to the membership, he spoke to me in a “Surprised Voice,” – asking — “Where have you Been??”
    I didn’t feel that I had done anything spectacular, — I was just being myself, in the best way possible.

    The rest of this is history, and I, with all of you, am “Missing” our dear Mentor, — Steve Fagan. In the

    6.
    halls of MY memories, Steve will remain – as one of my Best Friends, — FOREVER!!

    For those of you, who may be further interested in what Steve and I Discussed Regarding my 2nd Presentation on Biological Immortality, —
    Here are the 10 Introductory Questions of that Presentation:
    1. Why is it – that “Children” aged 6-10 years old are getting Terminal Cancer??
    2. Why is it – that the Cancer Treatment Centers are “having so much trouble” finding a “Cure” for these Cancers??
    3. What is it – that is “CAUSING” this Epidemic of Cancer in Children and Adults??

    7.
    4. Why is it – that our Modern Society is “PLAGUED” with Diabetes and Heart Disease??
    5. What was it – that “Changed” – between the early 1900’s and our Present Day Society – that “Created” all this DISEASE and ILLNESS we have today??
    6. Why are the Doctors “Continuing” to treat only the “SYMPTOMS” – rather than the “Cure” for these Diseases and Physical Ailments??
    7. Are you “Aware” that there “ARE” Doctors and Patients who are “Reversing” these diseases – and “Having No Further Need” to continue “Taking” those Prescription Drugs which they have been taking for so many years??

    8.
    8. Did you “Know” that Many people who have been Struggling with Diseases that have Physically “Crippled” them – are “Reversing” these conditions Within 14 Days??
    9. Why are we “Not Hearing” about these Wonderful Events??
    10. Are you “Aware” that these things are being “Hidden” from us, because of the Corruption, Lies, and Deliberate Actions of the Authorities in the A/C world??

    Do these questions “Spark An Interest” – to hear the “Answers” to all of them?? If so, — then I will arrange a time with Charlie, as to when I will be presenting this subject.
    With Love to All of you, — Forest

56. To: Steve Fagan, SENIOR MENTOR, The Neo-Think face to the world society. This is the hardest integration I have tried to do on this Wiki page. Somewhere around 12/18/18 , this Earth lost one of it’s very best to the Universe. JoAnne said you told her in passing to the light that you were alive and happy. You knew me as no other did and you know I am not a man of fancy words. I am not taking anything away from Miss Kay, but you my friend and mentor were Miss Annabelle’s mouthpiece. Toward the end of the day , I wanted nothing more than to turn up the volume on the phone, slap the headphones on, and lo thatse my self in those nightly programs …and listen…and learn, just exactly like those twelve kids that attended Third grade class in Upper New York. My only regret was that I never lived up to your expectations, but you were my guiding light and a good part of my resurrection. Thank You, I will close off by saying I love you like a brother.

57. It’s Sunday morning. The garage doors are coming up and the residents are headed off to church. Twice a year, the leaders of the churches make the anti-civilization feel guilty enough to keep the coffers full. Several days ago a lady posted a picture of a hundred year old Christmas cactus, for lack of a better name, that was so heavy with bloom it resembled a weeping willow tree. Several years my wife of 50 years passed away. I (We) have one of those cacti , and that year it bloomed exactly like that, but has only had a few blooms since. Granted it was moved 200 miles, and not placed in the sun like it should be, so this year we gave it the best spot in the house, and still nothing. Today they showed where a group of students had taken two plants of the same variety and location, and one they bullied and treated with disrespect, and the other, they showered with love and affection. That one thrived , while the mistreated one was sickly and dying. I am convinced that every thing on earth is a living micro organism with feelings. This is not so much different than what is going on in our Universe right now. We are being bullied and bewildered by a small part of our society that is turning our planet into a dark and sinister place for it’s inhabitants , and destroying our love for our fellowman. ( there is that word love again.
    Everybody is reading the book “The One Thing” and up till now, the two things that fascinated me the most was how the Movies of Star Wars had made 4.3 Billion , but the Merchandise sales were 10 Billion. ( Thanks Sheldon and Leonard) and the other thing was where praise was given to Bill and Melinda Gates for using their wealth to make a difference in the world with their Global Health plan, and as of now, some are saying they should be accused of war crimes and extinction of man kind. Something to post about our literature. Two years ago this month Digger Fagan asked us to study and read concept 143, and explain the difference between Vertical thinking vs Horizontal thinking. Vertical thinking involves thinking in depth about a LIMITED and KNOWN area of thoughts and ideas. Horizontal thinking is thinking BEYOND the limits and boundaries of conventional or known thoughts and ideas, such as creative thinking that leads to new areas of ideas , thoughts , and experiences and Humor. Humor is explained in concept 109. I love humor, it’s what puts smiles on peoples faces and brightens our day , and spreads the love.

58. 12/15/18. Saturday- Good Morning! In regards to yesterday’s integration, I ran into something this morning on face-book that got me to thinking. …. Isn’t that what Neo-Think people are suppose to do? By the way, confinement is what you make of it, and I would much rather be running down a white sandy beach with warm air blowing , BUT- The scene was an older gentleman suffering from Parkinson’s Disease sitting in a chair, and the tremors were so bad he could not touch his nose or hold a glass of water. Then a team of Doctors or nurses hooked him up to a supposedly new life changing device made by Boston Scientific, and almost immediately he became calm, and was able to do those things which were seemingly impossible a few minutes before. One odd statement (or not) was a nurse said “He’s Back”)
    On this weeks senior program with Steve Fagan and Kay Samalin, a segment of the program was with Sue Silva, Life Coach, who pitched a new health device that is an app that can be applied by phone, and can heal your ills. I will be the first to admit I can and sometimes am the world’s biggest skeptic, and not entirely sold on this AI stuff, but have enough sense to know this stubborn old cuss has been wrong before. So I resolve to do more research on both these products, as in my mind , I wonder how much of this is purely mental and how much is physical. If I am able to pin down some of those answers, I will post them later. Meanwhile, what WOULD happen if seven billion people resolved to love and respect each other!!!!

59. I was somewhat inspired by a video by Prince EA. Chances are you have already seen it, but there was a valuable lesson in it. He talks about Harry Houdini, (One of Pete Zerger’s heroes) Harry claimed that he could break out of any jail in , all he had to do was walk into that jail cell with his street clothes on, and said state bravely, “I’ll be out of here in one hour”. Well a very old jail down South heard about Houdini’s claims , and they accepted his challenge. On the day of the event, many people gathered outside , and very confidently, Houdini walked right into the cell and the shut the metal door behind him. The FIRST thing he did was take off his coat, then very strangely took off his belt. Secretly hidden in Houdini’s belt was a ten inch piece of steel very tough and very flexible, and Houdini started working. In about thirty minutes that confident expression he had when he walked in disappeared , and in one hour he was bathed in sweat, and at the end of two hours , Houdini in defeat, collapsed against the door which then opened. It opened you see, because the door had never been locked! ……….But that is not entirely true is it? That door was locked , firmly and thoroughly locked in Houdini’s MIND. It was locked as if the best locksmith had put his lock on it. The MIND is POWERFUL! How many doors in your life do you think are locked but aren’t? How many times have YOU been stuck in a mental prison of overthinking? Something that really had a simple solution. There was an ancient African proverb that says when there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm. and your mind is the most POWERFUL force you will ever FACE! It will tell you lies, It will tell you that you can’t do that, your not good enough for that, that you can’t go on anymore, you don’t have the energy. You MUST thank it for it’s opinion and carry on, because just like Houdini showed us, the only locked doors that exist are the ones in our own minds. The doors in reality are open and all you have to do is walk through! Harry Houdini was born in 1876 and died in 1926. A piece of news, I received a letter from the VA saying they have approved a motorized wheel chair to aid in mobility, and Zon,( that’s me you know,) give me the inner strength and will power to blow the doors off 2019. Gregg Braden, A good old Missouri boy from my neck of the world posted this “Imagine what seven billion humans could accomplish if we all loved and respected each other.”….Imagine!!!

60. 12/12/18. Just ordered the book “What to say when you talk to yourself” on Amazon. I swear I might have been the author of that if I didn’t know better.
    Several of you have asked me about my health lately, so a short report. Neuropathy and Physical Therapy done a detailed examination a week or so ago, and it says the quadriceps which are the 10 muscles in my lower limbs, and including the following 4 muscles shows no response. These are front of my thigh, the knee extensions , the flexicon or flexor and the femoral nerves and have shown no improvement in almost a year and any recovery is practically nil. Good news, The VA is suppose to be getting me a motorized set of wheels which I welcome the chance to be more mobile again. I have struggled with the leg brace and cane for a year. I REFUSE TO LET A FEW SETBACKS HOLD ME BACK!!!
    From: The Rise of Neo-Tech/ Concept #5 The footnote at the bottom of that page (153) says that the purpose and goal of life and RATIONAL happiness is attained by all human beings who EARN self sufficiency by producing desirable and tradable values. (Don’t just be a producer for someone else, be a Value Creator,) and goes on to say irrational and destructive actions can never deliver long range happiness. It looks like a lot of politicians and religious bigots may have the means to live in comfortable surroundings but will live a guilt driven unhappy life unless there are really people who are completely devoid of consciousness. No Thanks! To those who complain that this book is a sex book, You are not Neo-Think yet, those thoughts come from a mystified mind. Love you all, and let’s stick together and help our fellow members.

61. Betcha cant keep from smiling!!
    Calvin Coolidge (“Silent Cal”) was known for his sparse use of words. when the governor of Massachusetts asked Coolidge how he was able to see so many people in a given day, Coolidge responded , You talk back,” ……… When a society woman , sitting next to him at a dinner party, said, ” You must talk to me Mr. Coolidge, I made a bet that I could get more than two words out of you.” Coolidge replied, “You lose.”

62. 12/8/18 Saturday. Hi to all the Neo-thinkers out there. Today I am going to use a different approach on the Wiki page.
    First off, I want to thank my son-in-law Tom who was gracious enough to help me build a combination table-desk in my room per my specifications, It enables me to place the “Prime Discovery” and “Prime Cure” , and other heavy reading materials, where I have easier access in handling such large volumes. (Thanks Tom) My other invention is a home made cell phone holder that sits the phone in a upright position, and can be plugged into the charger and my headphones at the same time while allowing “hands free” for taking notes during weekly programming. My daughter referred to it as “redneck” , but I find it quite practical.
    The second part of this integration may be somewhat controversial, but this is Neo-Think, and I will leave this open to discussion. I have a cousin who has written a lot of books, they have been good books. Not to take away from her intellect or talents, we sometimes don’t always agree or see eye to eye on everything , and this is one of those exceptions. This subject was about whether Muslim women who are in our country should be allowed to continue to wear a burka and niqab in all public areas, and are they a security risk and should they be barred from court rooms in this garb? The following is my answer, so right or wrong, here is what I say:……….. ” I think I see a definite pattern developing here. If you have ever hit the ground in a pair of government-issued boots, and if those same boots were scuffed and soiled on either homeland or foreign lands, or stained by the brine and salt of a raging sea, or tread on a metal runway twenty thousand feet above the surface of an Earth that is steeped in war and poverty and fear, then chances are you may have a far different vision of what the face of freedom and peace looks like. “……………. She says the woman has that right under the First Amendment, and to let people live there lives.
    Again my thoughts. Maybe it’s time to amend the amendments. For example, The Second Amendment, the right to bear arms was written when our citizens were still carrying muskets and ball and cap pistols, and it does cover dangerous and unusual weapons . It’s not 1776 anymore. Times change, people change. Food for thought. Meanwhile, Steve “Digger” Fagan I promise to do some integrations pertaining to our literature. Thanks for reading, and thanks Mark for the space to voice this.

63. A little gossip and a lot of truth? If you don’t know by now who Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are,, you having been living under a rock. Their job , among other things, is to provide distractions from the real problems of the day. I guess that’s what Duchesses do. After all, gossip about a feud festering is much more enlightening than the world’s weakening economy and boring politics. Meghan Markle, although the news and social media has insisted there is no connection between herself and the royal bloodlines, researchers insists she has royal blood in her, and is an actual descendant of King Edward the III , who ruled from 1327 until 1357 AD, this according to genealogist Gary Boyd Roberts, technically making her and Prince Harry seventeenth (17) cousins, and they also claim that she is descended from the House of Dupont, an elite European Illuminati blood line on her fathers side. Now for some sobering truth, Harry and Williams grandfather has gone on record promoting de-population, saying that ” in the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving over population”. What a loving person.

64. As another week comes to a close, our friend Jonathan looked good in his black shirt and gold tie this week, and like him, I try to find something significant to post on this page.
    Digger was right when he said we need more integrations pertaining to our own literature. Last night on the FRW league call, we discussed DTC , aka Discipline-mostly , leading into Thought and Control. Also credit goes to Charlie on his suggestion on using the mini-day schedule as a means to make better use of your time. The subject last night was about poker, so what better way to describe it than first hand experience. I worked the night shift at the casinos for five years in order to take my wife to dialysis three or four times a week. I was never a dealer, but enjoyed the game and grew a special fondness for black chips.($100) . I have several autographed pictures of championship players , and made a few observations of my own. For instance, they were likable guys who would laugh and cajole with you, but something about all there mannerisms told you they were studying you and absorbing your every movement and every word. They would set in on low-stake games and loose occasionally to the novices and the local boys, but when the high stakes games were on, they were much more astute, and not only followed the other players, but would ask for a different dealer, and sitting arrangements were super important to them. That is one of those times you realize luck had little to do with it. I knew a younger guy who had made millions in his business and sold it. He visited the casino on a regular basis, and the longest session I was aware of lasted two and a half days, and was rumored that at one point, he was down over a hundred grand, and he remained cool as a cucumber, but his poor wife, who I became friends with, was a nervous wreck. They had purchased a “get away” home nearby, but she would stay and play the slots till his sessions ended. Slot players on the other hand, all believe they have a method to their madness, and one lady I know did finally hit 3/4 Million jack pot a few years ago, but I heard all her money is now gone. Another slot player hovered over three machines all night and when he quit, I asked him to clear a machine with $400 on it, which he did, and handed me the ticket as he walked out the door. Like I said , I have a fondness for black chips.

65. Hello. I was telling Judith another side of the day that JFK was assassinated and what took place in my life that day. t This is my version of that fateful day as I recall it. I was living off base and was going to work when the entire base went on alert. We had been briefed and debriefed time and time again on what to do under these exact situations, and it was routine, however we usually got the call in the middle of the night, and most of the time we sat on the plane for an hour and they dismiss as a drill and we went home. THAT day it turned into night and didn’t know anymore than what the flight crew was telling us they were picking up in the cockpit. but around 2100 hours we started to taxi down the tarmac to the runway and readied for takeoff, destination unknown, and we had this guy who was always screwing up, and turned deathly pale because he had “borrowed’ some or most of his clothing from the always packed duffel bag and stuffed the bottom of it with news papers, and he had no clothing, or winter gear at all. Lucky Mike, We were going to war, but we didn’t know who or where yet, so they circled the base and landed again. I am betting that was the last time he ever done that again. Can’t help it, it’s still funny.

66. CIA’S VIETNAM ILLEGAL DRUG TRAFFICKING
    AND JFK’S ASSASSINATION

    NOVEMBER 23, 2018

    CovertGeopolitics
    By: Victor Thorn

    Perhaps the biggest secret of the Vietnam War is that our Central Intelligence Agency seized control of the infamous Golden Triangle during that time period, then, along with assistance from various elements of Organized Crime, shipped huge amounts of heroin out of that area into our country.

    NOTE: The information below is derived from Michael Collins Piper’s Book “Final Judgment”. My role is that of a reviewer, and all credit for the research must be given to Mr. Piper. I urge everyone to purchase a copy of this book. Final Judgment is published by The Center for Historical Review, 132 Third Street, SE, Washington, DC, 20003 (1-888-699-NEWS)

    Perhaps the biggest secret of the Vietnam War is that our Central Intelligence Agency seized control of the infamous Golden Triangle during that time period, then, along with assistance from various elements of Organized Crime, shipped huge amounts of heroin out of that area into our country. Because piles of money were being made from this practice and many others, those who stood to profit from this horrendous war – the armament manufacturers, bankers, military men, and drug dealers – met any suggestion to withdraw from Vietnam with immediate consternation. But that’s exactly what John F. Kennedy intended to do upon re-election. In fact, he had already planned on telling the American people that their troops would be back home by 1965. Think about this momentous decision for a moment. If we had exited Vietnam by 1965, EIGHT years of bloodshed in the jungles and civil unrest on America’s streets and campuses could have been alleviated.

    Michael Collins Piper writers in Final Judgment: “Kennedy’s intended change in Vietnam policy – his plan to unilaterally withdraw from the imbroglio – infuriated not only the CIA but elements in the Pentagon and their allies in the military-industrial-complex. By this time, of course, the Lansky Syndicate had already set-up international heroin running from Southeast Asia through the CIA-linked Corsican Mafia in the Mediterranean. The joint Lansky-CIA operations in the international drug racket were a lucrative venture that thrived as a consequence of deep U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia as a cover for drug smuggling activities.”

    Piper’s simple one-paragraph explanation may be the most concise overview of the Vietnam War ever written. The military men and defense contractors were making out like bandits from the War Machine, while the CIA crooks and Lansky-led Mobsters (via Santo Traficante as the major wheeler-dealer) were likewise padding their pockets. Author Peter Dale Scott, in Deep Politics and the Death of JFK, said of this phenomenon, “The flood of drugs into this country since WWII was one of the major ‘unspeakable’ secrets leading to the ongoing cover-up of the Kennedy assassination.”

    To provide a broader perspective on this situation, Professor Alfred McCoy stated in The Politics of Heroin, “Since the prohibition of narcotics in 1920, alliances between drug brokers and intelligence agencies have protected the global narcotics traffic. Given the frequency of such alliances, there seems a natural attraction between intelligence agencies and criminal syndicates. Both are practitioners of what one retired CIA operative has called the ‘clandestine arts’ – the basic skill of operating outside the normal channels of civil society. Among all the institutions of modern society, intelligence agencies and crime syndicates alone maintain large organizations capable of carrying out covert operations without fear of detection.”

    On the government side, the two main Golden Triangle runners were Ted Schackley and Thomas Clines – the same two men who ran Operation Mongoose (the plot to take out Fidel Castro). Thus, from 1960-1975, the CIA deployed a secret force of 30,000 Hmong tribesmen to fight the Laotian Communists. They also created heroin labs in this area; then brought it out via their own private airline – Air America.

    Alfred McCoy, in The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, describes how the CIA first gave smack to our own American soldiers in Vietnam before shipping it into the United States, where Lansky mobsters dealt it on the streets.

    Sam Giancana’s biographers reinforced this point by stating that while organized crime did its thing, “The CIA looked the other way – allowing over $100 million a year in illicit drugs to flow through Havana into the U.S. It was an arrangement similar to all the rest they’d made. The CIA received 10% of the take on the side of narcotics, which they utilized for their undercover slush fund.”

    After the Mob and the CIA generated this dirty money, they laundered it into secret bank accounts controlled by the international bankers. That way, the government couldn’t get their hands on it and the funds could be invested in the stock market, loaned out to other businesses on the take, or channeled into the Secret Services’ black budgets.

    So, even though the above information is only the tip of the iceberg, now do you see why it was so important to the CIA/Mobster/international banker cabal that JFK didn’t pull America out of Vietnam? The money (via illegal drug trafficking and for the War Machine) was incredible, while CONTROL of another area of the globe (the Golden Triangle) was secured.

    As a final note, only FOUR DAYS after John Kennedy was assassinated, Lyndon Baines Johnson, his successor, put his name on NSAM 273, which secured our increased involvement in Southeast Asia. These guys weren’t wasting any time! Within a few short months, our involvement in Vietnam went from 20,000 troops to a quarter of a million! The CIA had won, and ten years later 58,229 American soldiers were dead – truly shocking and abysmal behavior – an embarrassment and blight on the American consciousness.

    Thank you very much, John. END.

    I made my comments about this topic on the post right before this … my older brother and many other of my family members and their friends fought in that blasphemy of “not a war”. And none of them ever recovered. Do any of us ever truly get over this? Really, there are no words except that I declare with intent that TRUE TRUTH with TOTAL INTEGRATED HONESTY and UNIVERSAL JUSTICE will prevail over this and those who carried it out. Sent out with love,

67. THE PARTY BEFORE THE ASSASSINATION
    AND THE MISSING FINGERPRINT
    By: Brasscheck
    November 22, 2018

    THERE’S NO MYSTERY HERE, NEVER WAS!

    The meeting in Dallas the night before the assassination included:

    H.L. Hunt
    J. Edgar Hoover
    Richard Nixon
    Lyndon B. Johnson

    …At the home of Clint Murchison, the Texas oil tycoon.

    Murchison owned J. Edgar Hoover, Lyndon B. Johnson, and State of Texas law enforcement and stood to lose a fortune if Kennedy changed the oil depletion allowance and faced the very real possibility of jail time should then-Vice President Johnson be indicted, which gave the appearance of being a certainty.

    Nixon and others involved claimed not to remember where he was that night.

    The fingerprint found in the Book Depository sniper’s nest and suppressed by the FBI belonged to LBJ’s henchman who was convicted in at least one murder and was suspected of committing several others on Johnson’s behalf.

    But it doesn’t matter who did what, what weapon they used, and what position they fired from.

    That’s like asking which janitor they sent and whether he used a wire or nylon brush.

    The mountains of minutia, endless conferences, books and assassination experts including Oliver Stone’s artfully loopy movie all obscure the basic points.

    1. The CIA was facing a thorough gutting at the hands of Kennedy as were their close colleagues in organized crime and the oil industry

    2. The Pentagon and the scumbags who supply them were facing the loss of billions upon billion of of dollars in profits and payoffs if Kennedy turned off the Vietnam gravy train.

    3. Hoover and Johnson knew each other very well, hated Kennedy and had very strong self-preservation reasons to want him dead. Both had been involved in political murders separately – and were to collaborate on future ones.

    Recall that Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King were both assassinated during the Johnson-Hoover regime and that Johnson was the president during the infamous USS Liberty incident. Robert Kennedy, like his brother, and Martin Luther King were murdered after they started talking against war in Vietnam. Another too rarely mentioned connection.)

    These people – the CIA, organized crime, the Pentagon, Hoover and Johnson – were all murderers and they did what murderers do.

    With Hoover in charge of the FBI and Johnson in control of the Federal government and Texas law enforcement, there was no investigation of the crime and any evidence that contradicted the manufactured “lone nut” theory was altered and in some cases outright destroyed.

    Ongoing media suppression was carried out by the CIA and the cooperative and craven US news media.

    It didn’t matter how good or bad your evidence is if you don’t control the process and it’s the new leader who controls the process.

    Attorney Allen Dulles, the CIA head who supervised numerous coups and assassinations in other countries and had a grudge against Kennedy for firing him, understood this simple principle better than anyone.

    That’s it. The beginning, middle and end of the story.

    Discussions about the minutia of the specific mechanics of the operation are nothing more than a distraction and far off the key points which are:

    1. When push comes to shove, the military-industrial complex is in control of the US

    2. A criminally minded CIA and organized crime figures in the US and abroad collaborate on projects of mutual interest (drug running, assassination, the suppression of dissent) on a daily basis as they have done since WW II.

    3. The US news media – as well as the vast majority of academia – is an impotent joke.

    These are the three elements that have guided and controlled the US since Kennedy’s assassination and they can, and continue to, get away with just about anything.
    END.

    I lived through the JFK murder along with everyone else. But I was brought up right outside D.C. in Annandale and had spent a lot of time over there – felt like it was my ‘home’ so to speak. Of course, there are no words to describe the heartbreak we all felt, the entire country, the entire world. Except, of course, for the perpetrators who all celebrated his death. I am simply encouraged that the ‘truth’ is finally coming out. Also about the evil and corrupt President who followed him I’ve never been proud was from Texas. The truths will continue to surface (as will all other horrible aspects of what has been done to Humanity) until this phase on the planet is over and done. I believe with all my heart that day is coming ever closer and the teachings within the Neothink Society by Mark Hamilton and his Father, Dr. Frank Wallace, have helped me to awaken even more all the time. And to learn to handle the heartbreak of our existence here by putting things into a true reality-that-exists perspective. I am so grateful and thankful this week of Thanksgiving for this knowledge.

68. HEAVENS COME INTO VIEW
    GAIA PORTAL
    November 21, 2018

    Heavens come into view.

    Steadfast measures are taken to communicate the Illuminations.

    Confronters dissolve.

    Unification begins in earnest.

    Starbursts are viewed by humanity!

69. The week end is here again. As I sat reading the 144 primary concepts today, I couldn’t help but wonder if Dr. Wallace were here , would he have changed his mind about , or be swayed , by some of the more recent developments that has transpired since his original writings.
    One such Advantage #31 , Astrology, UFO’s and other Myths. , with more knowledge allegedly being produced regarding aliens and flying saucers, and all these statements supposedly made by Astronauts, would he still consider it to still be myths?
    Advantage # 60, What would his stance be regarding Marijuana being used for medical purposes, and the battle with Big Pharma?
    Advantage #92, I would love to ask him what he thinks regarding this fiasco they call the Supreme Court Justice system today. I will give you my view and I know it doesn’t mean anything, but it ( the Supreme Court) should be done away with right now. It no longer serves the individual and there first amendment rights, but is now a political power which it was never intended to be, with a half dozen people making laws for me and you, and everyone. Any one who wishes to debate, criticize , or agree with me is more than welcome to do so, just as long as it is done with civility and lots of love.

70. When you think positive, all that positive energy comes back to you, BE READY FOR IT !!!!!
    Tis the day before Thanksgiving. Today I put my blinders on just like we used to do to old Dobbin, (except in this case, it was a pair of Missouri mules named Molly and Jack. ) Peripheral vision could be great sometimes, but just like those old work mules, we need to concentrate on what is ahead. What am I thankful for? Well , to start with, I am sitting on my deck here in our beautiful Black Hills and the Sun is providing me with warmth and bright rays of light and with the exception of a few chem-trails and smoke, it’s a wonderful day. Our world is full of questionable things that answers are not available to us right now, but still there’s plenty to be thankful for. I pulled out the old Webster’s Dictionary and chose my words carefully today. I am a BIG “what if” guy. What if.. This year’s nominee for Savior is a blonde lady who lives in Austin , Texas, and just happens to have the same initials as Jesus Christ and came into my life at just the right time? “What if” …. the disciples were mostly of the East Coast variety, who unknowingly ,( well, maybe a little bit,) brought sunshine , hope, awareness and love for an hour a day. They also sent me “enough” brilliant white light and tuned my body and soul onto Earth’s soothing and healing vibrations so that I can enjoy another Thanksgiving in the company of a loving family. . Let’s be thankful that we still have the freedom to make our own decisions , and can shower the world with limitless love.

71. 11/20/18. Head mentor and mouth piece for Mark Hamilton recently said that he would like to see more integrations on the Neo-think literature than from so many other outside influences. Any way, that was not his exact words, but you get my drift. When something is written and explained well , it is extremely difficult to add to it, however this member will try to relate some of it’s benefits and challenges as to what I see as important in my countryfied way. ……Today, I want to concentrate on the word “THINK”. I sometimes “THINK” we try too hard to make something difficult when it is self explanatory and as simple as can be! For instance, why is it that our society has not grown by leaps and bounds? It’s obvious to us who love it. Well, the sheep around us, those who make up most of the anti-civilization don’t THINK. These words from Pax-Neo-tech (page102) What happens when age old NON-thinking of an anticivilization encounters profoundly different Neo-thinking of a universal civilization? The NON-thinker flees. He or she flees the awesome responsibility of achieving eternal prosperity. That person declines and dies in the millennia-old mode of lethal politics and religions and utopianisms with their cynically-promised life-after-death frauds. You can find the answers beyond this statement, and remember love is limitless.

72. This article was written by Robert Lanza and is entitled Biocentrism . Rethinking the Universe. According to Biocentrism , space and time are not the hard objects we think. ( My two cents worth before going on with this integration, This is another way of saying the soul carries on after the physical body dies, am I right or wrong?)
    Does death exist? A new scientific theory says death isn’t the end. Many fear death, we believe in death because we’ve been told we will die, but a new scientific theory suggests that death is the terminally event we think, but a well known aspect of quantum physics is that certain observations can not be predicted absolutely, instead there’s a range of possible observations , each with a different possibility. One main stream explanation , the many world’s interpretation states each of the observations corresponds to a different Universe.. The multi-verse is a new scientific theory called Biocentrism refines these ideas. There are an infinite number of Universes and everything that could possibly happens occurs in some Universe. Death does not exist in any real sense in the scenarios . All possible Universes exist simultaneously regardless of what happens in any of them. Although individual bodies self destruct, the ALIVE feeling, the who am I, is just twenty watts of energy in the brain, but this energy doesn’t go away in death, one of the surest axioms of science is that energy never dies. It can not be created or destroyed, but does this energy transcend from one world to the other? Consider this experiment that scientists can change something that happened in the past, particles had to decide how to behave when they hit a beam splitter. Later on, the splitter could turn on a second switch on or off, it turns out that what the observer decided at that point can determine retroactively what the particle did regardless of the choice you, the observer made. It is you who will experience the outcomes that will result. The linkages between these various histories and Universes transcend our very idea of space and time. Think of the twenty watts of energy as hold over rejecting any of this or that onto a screen whether you turn the second beam splitter on or off, it’s still the same battery your aim is still responsible for. Everything we see and experience right now is a world of information occurring in our mind, space and time are simply the tools for putting everything together. Hopefully you get the picture. Thanks Mark for the space to post this.

73. 11/17/18, Hello, it’s me again.
    It’s a cold and snowy day out here on the prairie this November week end before Thanksgiving . and I have been searching all day for some inspiration that would drop kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life, and I think I found it coming from the country of Texas. Enough fooling around , and time to be serious. I, in recent months have had a few set backs causing me to feel a tad sorry for my self. So listen up. What I want to print here is in a video called “Unexpected” . What you are about to read was a speech given to the graduating class in Plano , Texas earlier this year. The unusual thing about this speech was it was given by a young man Seth Scott, who has autism and who is usually non-verbal. Seth’s Speech. ” UNEXPECTED” , That is what I want you to remember, first and foremost. I would imagine that it is entirely — I would imagine that to the Seniors that know who I am, that this is entirely unexpected that I would be standing here giving a speech for the friends and family and attendants here tonight, allow me to briefly explain this unexpected choice of speaker. My name is Seth Scott, and I am a student with learning differences……. To be more specific, I have Autism and a social communication disorder. Just by my being here speaking to all of you., ME–That alone is unexpected. I imagine you are wondering how that could possibly be that I am standing here giving a speech. My brother Sid is a nine year brain tumor survivor who has given dozens of speeches to raise money for various children’s charities since 2009. So with his help and that of my mother, we worked sentence by sentence to make my voice heard…….”Don’t follow some else’s dreams, Don’t waste time on something you never wanted.” “Do the unexpected. It is your life you are living, not any one else’s , so do what fulfils you. Don’t fear the future, don’t fear the unknown. ” Will it be unexpected? Yes , yes it will, but that does not make it wrong. Remember , if you are following in some one else’s footsteps, you will only get you where they want you to go. Be the unexpected like me. Do the unexpected for the benefit of others. Live the unexpected for your own happiness. ………Congratulations to the Plano Senior High School graduating class of 2018, and best wishes to you all.” (Give me a moment to wipe a tear out of my left eye, the one which exposes my soul to the universe) , but more importantly, do you know what it must have taken for this young man to come out of the shadows and deliver that speech of such importance and give it flawlessly?) I am a little ashamed of my self! How about you?

74. 11/15/18
    Hi guys and gals. It’s Thursday already, How time flies. Before I get into the meat of today’s integration, I just have to say that I have never seen so many chem-trails in my entire life. The beautiful azure sky was an absolute delight just hours ago, but now it is a checkerboard of wide white ribbons as far as the naked eye can see. Questions. Why aren’t people complaining about it? Are we avoiding the issue out of fear? Why wont the government just come clean and tell us what is really going on? Also while sitting on my deck trying to soak some natural warmth from the Sun , I felt the Earth shake, followed be a pair of muffled but loud booms. this being another event that has been occurring more often recently. Since this whole statement may be beginning to sound crazy, here is another wild thought. Dr. Wallace was a resident of Nevada, not that far from Area 51, and while listening to a recent program with David Wilcock as the narrator , he happened to mention that what he considered a reliable source had leaked some information to him that we have had some residents from out of this world living in Nevada since the late 40’s and early 50’s , who have had a hand in giving us newer technology such as Teflon and Kevlar, and other products. I scrambled for my library of Neo-Tech literature, believing I had read where Dr. Wallace, while with Dupont , had a hand in developing those products also. Is this a big EXPOSE or what! This society encourages us think and snap puzzle pieces together, but above all, do it with pure honesty and pure LOVE So, did Dr. Frank have connections we don’t know about.? I sincerely hope this at least gives someone pause to think.

75. YOU ARE THE GREATEST TEACHER YOU WILL NEVER KNOW!

    By Gary Z McGee, Staff Writer
    Waking Times
    November 8, 2018

    “To find a mountain path all by oneself gives a greater feeling of strength than to take a path that is shown.” ~Karen Horney

    Find the nearest mirror. Look deeply into it. There, hidden within that fabulously flawed human being staring back at you, is the greatest teacher you will never know.

    Yes. It’s YourSelf. And yes, you will never really know it.

    The famous inscription at the Temple of Delphi, “Know Thyself,” is ultimately unattainable. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to obtain it. Enlightenment is equally unattainable, but there’s nothing wrong with striving for it. Self-improvement is still healthy regardless of the fact that you will never be perfect. Socrates’ dictum still stands: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

    Examining your own life is always going to begin with your interpretation of it. So it behooves you to align your interpretation of it with reality. Easier said than done. Because examining the Self is a tricky proposition. The Self is an elusive mystery. It’s masks all the way down perceiving illusions all the way up.

    The trickiest part is that only you can experience these masks and illusions. Nobody else can experience them for you. They are subjective. Your experience of them will always be primary to anyone’s interpretation of them. Not even the best shrink in the world can know them as well as you can.

    That’s what makes Self-examination, and the Self-realization that comes from it, so important. Therapists are, at best, guides. Self-therapy is what a therapist directs you towards anyway. So, you might as well make that attempt to begin with. A therapist is good for keeping you on track and preventing you from getting stuck, but there’s nothing saying you cannot learn strategies to do it yourself.

    There’s nothing saying you cannot be your own greatest teacher. The autodidact inside you is calling.

    LEARN YOUR OWN NATURE BY LEARNING ABOUT MOTHER NATURE:

    “There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.” ~Rumi

    The most powerful way to hear the “voice that doesn’t use words” is through solitude and meditation. Out away from the things of man, where No-Mind is free to remind you that you are a force of nature first and a human being second.

    This is perhaps the most powerful strategy for teaching your Self to YourSelf. Solitude and meditation teaches a particular flavor of humility that gets you over your own ego (co-dependence) and puts you in touch with the interconnectedness of all things (inter-dependence). It teaches you how not to take YourSelf too seriously. When you unbecome YourSelf, you become everything. You’re free to experience inter-dependence despite culturally conditioned co-dependence.

    Allowing Nature to become your teacher cuts the uninitiated ego out of the equation and then sneaks in the initiated ego, which utilizes Soul as a tool to leverage a heightened state of awareness. From this heightened state comes the deep interdependent realization that everything is connected to everything else.

    In this heightened state of eco-melting your third eye opens, your crown chakra blooms in full flutter, and your Oneness with all things becomes paramount. You are suddenly out of your own way. You are free to learn what you must learn. You are free to become what you must become.

    THE CURE FOR THE PAIN IS IN THE PAIN:

    “Doctors study medicine. Teachers study education. Healers study darkness.” ~Mark Lundy
    Just as you are your greatest teacher, you are also your greatest healer. Know thyself and heal thyself are reciprocal properties. Mother Nature teaches you this first. Pain teaches you this second.

    Pain is inevitable. It’s a part of life. Avoiding pain just causes more pain. Ignoring or repressing pain just causes unnecessary suffering. Although pain is inevitable, unnecessary suffering is avoidable.

    As long as you’re able to learn from the pain, it can be a steppingstone. Seen in this way, pain can be an initiation into wisdom (a sacred wound), and a flourishing into Eudaimonia. Which can be quite pleasurable.

    Growth is painful (think: exercise and endurance training). Change is even more painful (think: puberty and vicissitude). But being stuck is arguably the greatest pain of all (think: the unnecessary suffering of unhealthy and inauthentic living).

    Pain is a guide, a powerful teacher. And if you can gain the capacity to recognize the guideposts and learn the lessons that Pain provides, you will be more adept at adapting and more likely to grow into a healthier version of YourSelf.

    THE DAEMONIC AND THE DEMONIC:

    “To learn to creatively live with the daemonic or be violently devoured by it. We will decide our own destiny. Let us choose wisely.” ~Stephen Diamond

    The daemonic is the hidden genius within you: your latent creativity. The demonic is the hidden shadow within you: your repressed darkness. Ignore them at your own peril.

    The daemon harbors vital knowledge and deep numen. It is your genius loci, your inspiring force, your attendant spirit, your guiding power. It is the quintessential teacher inside you.

    It dwells in the fire of your passions, in your love and your anger, in your longing and your jealousy, in your happiness and your sadness. If you conform to your cultural conditioning and ignore or suppress its presence, these passions will eventually transform from a daemonic passion into a demonic rage, with potentially devastating results.

    Hence the importance of reconciling the shadow. You do this by making the darkness conscious. By paying attention to your deepest wounds. Becoming curious with your deep wounds is honoring them with your attention. If you’re able to honor your wounds, then you will be more likely to reconcile your demons.

    It’s not so much that you’ll suffer less but that you’ll suffer better. You will become healthier in the ways that you suffer. And with the demon as your diamond-backed ally, you add a streak of fierceness to your teaching/learning that can be revolutionary.

    HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR ABOUT YOUR OWN FALLIBILITY:

    “Life is a matter of oscillation. Life is vibration. The question is: how are you going to interpret that. Is it tremble, tremble, tremble; or is it laugh, laugh, laugh?” ~Alan Watts

    Laughter is the best medicine. It’s salve for the soul. Laughter reduces pain, forms deep social bonds, fosters brain connectivity, acts as an effective antidepressant, and protects the heart. Besides all these scientific benefits, laughter is flat out enjoyable.

    It usually happens when you are having fun. But it is also a vital tool to use in the face of tragedy, fallibility and mortality.

    Nothing is more powerful and courageous than laughter in the face of that which seeks to destroy you. Allow your humor to shine even as your soul is breaking under the heavy weight of cosmic nihilism. Allow it to blaze through the cracks of having fallen apart and come back together again. As Charlie Chaplin said, “Smile, though your heart is aching.”

    Embrace the fact that you are a stumbling naked ape, fumbling over your barely evolved brain. You’re an anxious mammal with a mortal coil. You’re an insatiable beast with improbable reach. You might imagine that you are a mature, evolved being who is above baser animal instincts, but you’re not.

    When it comes down to it, you represent a laughably young species attempting to evolve on an extremely old planet which is hurtling through an unfathomably ancient universe. In the grand scheme of things, you are a member of a floundering baby of a species.

    Having a good sense of humor is embracing your own fallibility. It’s accepting that you are prone to mistakes; that you are imperfect, and always will be. It’s injecting a little humility into your human-biased disposition.

    Mastering the Self is mastering humility and humor. It’s embracing absurdity in a heroic sense. One is both humbled and empowered by a good sense of humor. The shadow’s “gold” and the “secret elixir” are then more easily excavated, and brought forth to others, despite the absurd experience of being a creature torn between spirit and flesh, mortality and eternity, tragedy and comedy.

    If, as Karl Frei said, “Attitude is the difference between ordeal and adventure,” then having a good sense of humor is the ideal attitude to have, as your own greatest teacher, going on the greatest adventure you will ever experience: The Hero’s Journey. END

    Good Stuff!! Thanks Mark Hamilton and Dr. Frank Wallace for bringing us to this point with an advantage over most other humans out there from studying and integrating your words and lessons! To being truly set free with the real truth of our lives by looking at our true Self and our Shadow Self.

76. 100 YEARS LATER, THE MADNESS OF DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ENDURES

    CREATIVE COMMONS
    The Conversation
    By Michael Downing
    Nov 4, 2018

    One hundred years after Congress passed the first daylight saving legislation, more and more people are doubting the wisdom of changing the clocks.

    In August, the EU Commission proposed ending the biannual practice. (Note: England voted for this already).

    Last winter, lawmakers in Florida passed the “Sunshine Protection Act,” which will make daylight saving a year-round reality in the Sunshine State.

    If approved by the federal government, this will effectively move Florida’s residents one time zone to the east, aligning cities from Jacksonville to Miami with Nova Scotia rather than New York and Washington, D.C.

    The cost of rescheduling international and interstate business and commerce hasn’t been calculated. Instead, relying on the same overly optimistic math that led the original proponents of daylight saving to predict vast energy savings, crisper farm products harvested before the morning dew dried and lessened eye strain for industrial workers, Florida legislators are lauding the benefits of putting “more sunshine in our lives.”

    It’s absurd – and fitting – that a century later, opponents and supporters of daylight saving are still not sure exactly what it does. Despite its name, daylight saving has never saved anyone anything. But it has proven to be a fantastically effective driver of retail spending.

    MAKING THE TRAINS RUN ON TIME

    For centuries people set their clocks and watches by looking up at the sun and estimating, which yielded wildly dissimilar results between (and often within) cities and towns.

    To railroad companies around the world, that wasn’t acceptable. They needed synchronized, predictable station times for arrivals and departures, so they proposed splitting up the globe into 24 time zones.

    In 1883, the economic clout of the railroads allowed them to replace sun time with standard time with no legislative assistance and little public opposition. The clocks were calm for almost 30 years, apart from an annual debate in the British Parliament over whether to pass a Daylight Saving Act. While proponents argued that shoving clocks ahead during summer months would reduce energy consumption and encourage outdoor recreation, the opposition won out.

    Then, in 1916, Germany suddenly adopted the British idea in hopes of conserving energy for its war effort. Within a year, Great Britain followed suit. And despite fanatical opposition from the farm lobby, so would the United States.

    FROM PATRIOTIC DUTY TO MONEYMAKING SCHEME

    A law requiring Americans to lose an hour was confounding enough. But Congress also tacked on the legal mandate for the four continental time zones. The patriotic rationale for daylight saving went like this: Shifting one hour of available light from the very early morning (when most Americans were asleep) would reduce the demand for domestic electrical power used to illuminate homes in the evening, which would spare more energy for the war effort.

    On March 19, 1918, Woodrow Wilson signed the Calder Act requiring Americans to set their clocks to standard time; less than two weeks later, on March 31, they would be required to abandon standard time and push their clocks ahead by an hour for the nation’s first experiment with daylight saving.

    It didn’t go smoothly. In 1918, Easter Sunday fell on March 31, which led to a lot of latecomers to church services. Enraged rural and evangelical opponents thereafter blamed daylight saving for subverting sun time, or “God’s time.” Newspapers were deluged by letter writers complaining that daylight saving upset astronomical data and made almanacs useless, prevented Americans from enjoying the freshest early morning air, and even browned out lawns unaccustomed to so much daylight.

    Within a year, daylight saving was repealed. But like most weeds, the practice thrived by neglect.

    In 1920, New York and dozens of other cities adopted their own metropolitan daylight saving policies. The Chamber of Commerce spurred along this movement on behalf of department store owners, who had noticed that later sunset times encouraged people to stop and shop on their way home from work.

    By 1965, 18 states observed daylight saving six months a year; some cities and towns in 18 other states observed daylight saving for four, five or six months a year; and 12 states stuck to standard time.

    This wasn’t exactly ideal. A 35-mile bus trip from Steubenville, Ohio, to Moundsville, West Virginia, passed through seven distinct local time zones. The U.S. Naval Observatory dubbed the world’s greatest superpower “the world’s worst timekeeper.”

    So, in 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which mandated six months of standard time and six of daylight saving.

    Why do we still do it?

    Today we know that changing the clocks does influence our behavior. For example, later sunset times have dramatically increased participation in afterschool sports programs and attendance at professional sports events. In 1920, The Washington Post reported that golf ball sales in 1918 – the first year of daylight saving – increased by 20 percent.

    And when Congress extended daylight saving from six to seven months in 1986, the golf industry estimated that extra month was worth as much as US$400 million in additional equipment sales and green fees. To this day, the Nielsen ratings for even the most popular television shows decline precipitously when we spring forward, because we go outside to enjoy the sunlight.

    But the promised energy savings – the presenting rationale for the policy – have never materialized.

    In fact, the best studies we have prove that Americans use more domestic electricity when they practice daylight saving. Moreover, when we turn off the TV and go to the park or the mall in the evening sunlight, Americans don’t walk. We get in our cars and drive. Daylight saving actually increases gasoline consumption, and it’s a fallacious substitute for genuine energy conservation policy.

    Lawmakers in Florida, of all places, ought to know that year-round daylight saving is not such a bright idea – especially in December and January, when most residents of the Sunshine State won’t see sunrise until about 8 a.m.

    On Jan. 8, 1974, Richard Nixon forced Floridians and the entire nation into a year-round daylight saving – a vain attempt to stave off an energy crisis and lessen the impact of an OPEC oil embargo.

    But before the end of the first month of daylight saving that January, eight children died in traffic accidents in Florida, and a spokesperson for Florida’s education department attributed six of those deaths directly to children going to school in darkness.

    Lesson learned? Apparently not! END

    Interesting to learn the reasons this practice was foisted on us. Judith

77. Hi Guys! Monday morning November 13th … the 11-11-11 GATEWAY on Sunday as we celebrate our great Veterans of the world will accelerate all the changes that are ongoing! Just remember to LOOK FOR THE GOOD THROUGH THE VEILS OF EVIL AND DARKNESS ALL AROUND US. Breakthroughs are occurring, along with our continued Ascension to a higher level. The ongoing super light energies are astonishing right now to change us all. Use this time to awaken personally and move forward in your reality.

    Following is a current article about “THE GREAT AWAKENING” that I’ve spoken of for years to members, discussing the possibilities of just what is coming that may ‘trigger’ this Event. I don’t usually focus on the political arena, but these days it may be well to pay some attention, especially on the World Stage. The huge rise in the Satanic energies on the planet is an obvious factor of darkness being exposed. This is the real source of the mass mind control in major play at this time. I also believe that the great burning down and killing of California is involved in this happening. There is something about ‘water in the Northwest’ in some reports that will create something, possibly a huge mudslide? Good grief, this seems like the old days reporting about the fact that California or great parts of it is destined to break off and fall in the ocean. I imagine there is some kind of geological ‘truths’ in there somewhere. Since the largest cavern on Earth (or one at least) lies underneath Malibu – strange the fires have erupted there, as well. The Globalists want to take over the state all for themselves after everyone else has died or been scared off and run away! Just remember to discern and listen to your own heart for what is really going on here. So, get rid of the fears, take your precautions to be ready for the coming surmised three weeks of doing without as the collapse occurs – and set your INTENTION to land on the other side of this great divide. Stay safe on your journey. And stay in your heart as you know that all this is being exposed for our greatest good. Don’t forget, we all chose to be here to participate in this time on the planet. Sent with love and white light energy to all.

    HOW THE FULL DECLASSIFICATION OF THIS FISA WARRANT
    COULD TRIGGER THE ‘GREAT AWAKENING’

    COLLECTIVE EVOLUTION
    By Richard Enos
    November 8, 2018

    IN BRIEF

    THE FACTS: A full declassification of the FISA warrant on Carter Page that authorized the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign before the 2016 elections may hold the key to uncovering crimes perpetrated by Deep State players in the American political arena.

    REFLECT ON: Is the ‘GREAT AWAKENING’ all about the political efforts of ‘Patriots’ trying to reveal the truth behind hidden partisan maneuvers? Or is it something more that we all play an active role in?

    If, like me, you do not follow the current machinations in American politics on a comprehensive basis, but you are rather just trying to get the gist of what is going on underneath the deception and posturing, then the names and events that have come flooding forward can be somewhat overwhelming, and hard to distinguish. Take the ‘Russia Collusion’ narrative: We have Mueller. Rosenstein. Sessions. Nunes. Comey. Manafort. Flynn. Page (Carter or Lisa?). Strzok. McCabe. Steele. Ohr. Papadopoulos. And the list of ancillary players goes on. Can you distinguish all these players and their roles?

    My intention in this article is to lay out a simplified explanation of the situation, in order for you to understand the basic story line regarding one particular aspect of the “Russia Collusion” narrative: the FISA warrant that authorized the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign before the 2016 elections. It is my contention that the full declassification of this FISA warrant may be the lynchpin in unraveling Deep State control over the United States and allow all of us to finally glean the truth behind the deception that has long ruled American politics.

    FISA WARRANT

    FISA stands for ‘Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act’ and is a United States federal law which establishes procedures for the physical and electronic surveillance and collection of “foreign intelligence information” between “foreign powers” and “agents of foreign powers” suspected of espionage or terrorism. A FISA warrant is a document that a US intelligence agency needs to bring to the FISA court in order to get the court’s approval to spy on U. S. citizens that have been determined by that warrant to be colluding with one or more foreign powers against the United States.

    Cutting to the chase, this means that if corrupt elements within the FBI wanted to spy on the Trump Presidential Campaign in order to further Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the 2016 election, their best way to do it would be to provide the FISA court with ‘evidence’ that someone in the Trump Campaign had ties to a foreign power and was ‘suspected’ of engaging in espionage or terrorism.

    CARTER PAGE

    Enter Carter Page, who was a Trump Advisor during the 2016 campaign. Again, making a long story short, the FBI used evidence mainly provided by British investigator Christopher Steele for a FISA warrant to spy on Page. Information has surfaced that before the 2016 election, the FBI characterized Steele as ‘unreliable’ but they did not let the FISA court know this, and so knowingly spied on Carter Page even though they knew that evidence that he was an “agent of foreign powers” was unreliable if not a flat-out fabrication. These statements in the FISA warrant thus can be seen as completely disingenuous:

    “The FBI believes Page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the Russian government. The FBI believes that Page has been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government…there is probable cause that such activities involve or are about to involve violations of the criminal statutes of the United States.”– FISA Warrant
    Signatures from top FBI and Justice Department officials, including then-FBI Director James Comey, and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appear on each of the four applications, which went through reviews in the House Intelligence Committee.

    NUNES MEMO

    A memo written by Republican Devin Nunes, who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, was released to the public in February. It provided a summary of the warrant and suggests abuses by the Department of Justice and FBI during the Russia investigation, and more particularly that the FISA warrant was politically motivated since the ‘research’ by Christopher Steele was known to have been funded through a law firm by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.

    This eventually led to the release of a highly redacted version of the FISA warrant against Carter Page in July. This highly redacted version gives some basic information but still prevents the general public from being able to evaluate whether Rosenstein and the FBI signed off on speculative information that was designed to give rise to misleading assumptions.

    President Trump announced in late September that he was going to release the unredacted version of the FISA warrant to the public–which he has the power to do–but changed his mind and instead passed the matter on to his Inspector General Michael Horowitz for review. There has been no specific timeline given for the full declassification of the document since; but the implication is that a full declassification and unbiased analysis of the FISA warrant could implicate Rosenstein, Comey, Steele, Mueller, as well as Hillary Clinton, former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, FBI Agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, DOJ employee Bruce Ohr and others as the real “agents of a foreign power”–the Globalist Deep State.

    Q POST #2397
    The following post by Q-Anon on November 3rd takes us the rest of the way home. Of importance to us here is that Q notes that Trump ordered the declassification, but Rosenstein pushed back hard. Why? Because a declassification would make it clear that Rosenstein authorized the warrant knowing it was not based on reliable evidence. Trump referred the warrant to Horowitz, who works with prosecutor John Huber (the man working on the sealed indictments), who used to report directly to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions and now reports to acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, who is taking over the reigns of the ‘Russia Collusion’ investigation from Rosenstein.

    All this may actually facilitate the procedural value of declassifying the FISA warrant, as it not only might make it easier to have Rosenstein legally removed from power, but it might provide the legal basis for terminating the special council of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, since the whole special council into ‘Russia Collusion’ seems to have gotten its credence on the strength of Page’s FISA warrant, as well as similar warrants put out on General Michael Flynn, former Trump advisor George Papadopoulos, and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort. All of these individuals have vehemently rejected claims that they colluded with Russia, and consider the ‘evidence’ given for their surveillance in their FISA warrants to have been false and misleading.

    Q
    CONTROL OF THE HOUSE
    What Q is saying here about the Mueller investigation was noted as follows in my previous article on Q:

    Q characterizes the Mueller investigation as a blockade, designed to keep damaging evidence against the Deep State under wraps, limiting what Donald Trump can say and do, stalling for time until the mid-term elections, where Democrats hope to gain House and/or Senate majorities so that they can terminate all investigations, as well as creating conditions to look like victims of Trump tyranny if all else fails and trigger a possible civil war.
    Q mentions that Rod Rosenstein and the Democrats seem to be hoping that taking back control of the House of Representatives will enable them to grind the wheels of justice to a halt, including preventing the declassification of the FISA warrant of Carter Page (and the others mentioned), as well as other supporting evidence such as text messages and emails.

    With Q making a big point of telling people to VOTE in the midterm elections, one gets the impression that the election results may very well have an impact on how and when the critical information will be revealed. Now that the Democrats have taken over the majority in the House, it will be interesting to see if the ‘Great Awakening’ forecasted by Q will be delayed, or if the momentum that has already been building up will still be enough to burst the dam wide open in short order. Initial reports from Q indicate that strengthening support for Trump in the Senate as a result of the midterm elections is more than enough to keep the process going forward.

    THE TAKEAWAY

    While the political arena still appears to be the prime battleground for the ‘Great Awakening,’ where those attempting to take down the Deep State are hoping to disclose the truth and restore the Republic, let us not forget that the bigger game at play is our collective evolution, which has no political affiliation whatsoever. It is ultimately our collective energy state that is driving the ‘Great Awakening,’ and so we continue to have a role in raising our personal vibration in order to add to the light that is dispelling the darkness. END.

    Thanks Mark Hamilton and Dr. Wallace for giving us the basis to bring forward ‘THE TRUTH’ with total integrated honesty and love. The White Hats Alliance and ‘good guys’ (US) are going to win!

80. Better That I be Anonymous I guess than Qanon.

81. 11/11/18 I can’t say that I totally agree with this advice from “Fearless Soul” , never the less it does have some valid thoughts.
    Follow your heart. Your brain is stupid. Pay close attention to your feelings . No matter how good something looks, if it doesn’t feel right, chances are it is NOT right. You see your heart is much wiser than your brain. Most people, when faced with a decision, they go to their brain, most people believe their intelligence comes from their brain, but that is not the case.. You see, your heart is the most powerful intelligence in your body. Your heart is the intelligence that comes BEFORE your brain. Most people didn’t know that. Yes, your heart started beating before your brain existed , so the intelligence that created your body and the brain is your heart. We form an emotional brain long before we form a rational one, and a beating heart before either. Research shows that the heart has 60 times the energy coming out of it as the brain does. Now you can understand how your heart dramatically impacts how your brain works , not the other way around. You can’t trust your brain 100 % of the time. Your brain wants to keep you safe from all possible forms of pain, your heart wants to take you where you NEED to go. Living inside your head is not only dangerous, it is reckless. As Tony Robbins says ” When you’re in your head, you’re dead’. Your dead to the wonders of the world. Your dead to the beauty of the world. Your dead to the CLARITY of decision making, and TRUE PEACE, that comes from following your heart. To get in touch with your feelings, your heart is the way to unlock all of your true potential. Peace and clarity. Your heart knows the way, follow your gut. follow your intuition, if you feel like it’s right. Follow that feeling. Get out of your head, and into your heart. INTUITION. or following your heart to act on sudden inspiration has such a negative connotation in society. We are expected to think with our heads and be “practical” but being practical or logical will never lead to TRUE fulfillment or happiness. You can only get that when you live fully as your AUTHENTIC self and follow your heart, even that doesn’t suit those around you. Jim Carrey said “So many of us choose our path out of fear, DISGUISED as practicality”. As a society , we are so conditioned to conform to “society standards” which discourages us from following our own intuition, from following our heart we take the “practical road because it is SAFE, less risky, but we suppress the desire to act on divine inspiration, we build up tension SO GREAT in our soul that we beg in to experience lower states of emotion, including depression, anxiety and disappointment. We miss our path , and for WHAT? So that we can be safe? So that we can be predictable? Sure , predictablility and safety have their benefits, but if the heart CALLS and you CHOOSE to ignore it, the consequences may far out weigh the benefits . Your heart will lead you to your AUTHENTIC self. Consider some one who is being pressured within a family to join the” family business.” To do what generation after generation in his family have done, will he follow the crowd to be safe, or will he DARE to pursue other venues DESPITE the hardships that may follow? When feeling compelled yet scared to take the road unpaved or “unapproved” , ask yourself the TOUGH questions and be honest with yourself, Is their some other purpose for me in life other than meeting other people’s needs and do what is ” expected ” of me ? Am I more CONCERNED with how others view me, rather than my own happiness? Am I suppressing my desires? What will the effects of long term suppression be , versus the effects of effects of short term acceptance by friends , family and society? Each of us is gifted with talents and skills which can be identified by looking at the things were passionate about and inspired to do. By suppressing and turning away from these passions and impulses, we are DENYING the DIVINE access to powerful creation that exists inside all of us. We are all here for a purpose, and that purpose sometimes does not , at least initially, look so practical . It must be FELT within the heart. You ALWAYS have the answers inside you. EVERY THING YOU NEED is inside you , just follow your heart and don’t confuse the voices in your head and around you. With the guidance of your MUCH WISER more powerful HEART. Follow your heart, your brain is stupid……… Two things that caught my attention was the use of the word divine, however it can mean supremely good or conjecture, rather than a religious connotation, and I also I was thinking about what Dr. Wallace says about precepts and concepts, man still has percepts, even though he can turn them into concepts, which indicates that we are still animals but with a consciousness . Love is what we all need now. This was supposed to be the first day of enlightenment, so love yourself and each other.

82. Doesn’t Judith always give us some of the best stuff? I have been sitting here in front of this monitor for 30 minutes, starring at it as if something magical was going to appear. Read from the 3000 year old secret book, and still nothing is happening. …………(Still)
    Today was a great day! My lady Psychiatrist/ Dr. said I had “Grit”. Not the kind that leaves dirt and residue under your nails, but the kind Webster’s defines as “Unyielding courage”. Right now,… at this very moment, I refuse to let anything ruin my happiness.. As recently as a few months ago, I wrote in my notebook the following words. “I fell asleep reading a book that had been gifted to me. The book is entitled “A salty piece of land” which is a happy go lucky piece of adventure and fantasy. It was penned by none other than the ole parrot head himself, Jimmie Buffet. (Thanks Judith) This morning at 0600 hours exactly I was wakened by the gentle voice of my nurse here at the VA hospital . “Meds and Vitals” , she said. As my surroundings began to seep through the fog and the cob webs started to disappear, Reality crept in, and I was no longer sailing on the seven seas. Breakfast at 06:30 , At 08;00 hours, Physical and Occupational Therapy until 11. After lunch ,Individual and group therapy. I will not let the fact that I am unable to walk right now. OK!… Reality Check: Fell in the hall way during the night, Why did I use my call light to get assistance to the bathroom? Fast Forward to now: Grit.. Thanks Doc. Some of the sweetest words I have ever heard…. Thanks Neo-Think , and all those members who sent me gobs and gobs of white light and vibrations and for believing in me, It has been with your encouragement and love and support that I am sitting here now. Not the best or biggest cookie in the jar, but still a Zon in slow but steady progress. It’s enough at this moment to just be a contented and happy man. Thanks Mark for this space. Love is what it’s all about.

84. DEAR AMERICA, IF VOTING MADE ANY REAL DIFFERENCE,
    THEY WOULDN’T LET US DO IT …

    ACTIVIST POST
    By: Op-Ed by Matt Agorist
    November 6, 2018

    It’s election time again and that means that roughly 40 percent of eligible voters will rush to the polls to vote for the lesser of two evils who they think will implement their political will for the benefit of the citizenry. Politicians will be waving signs on street corners as Americans line up in elementary schools across the country to cast their vote—for freedom, or something like that.

    So, get out there and cast your ballot for your favorite politician, or don’t.

    Even if you vote, or not, and your party wins, or not, the police state will continue. Constantly voting for the lesser of two evils has manifested into an inevitable cycle in which the government gets more powerful and the people get poorer. But don’t take my word for it, just look at the current state of America.

    50 percent of all American workers make less than $30,533 a year. In the meantime, however, the politically connected elite made up of the 0.1% have increased their wealth by more than $1 trillion in the past year. One trillion also happens to be the same amount of money that the US taxpayer has had placed on their backs in the form of government debt in the last year, too. Coincidence? Probably not.

    “But if the Republicans keep the house we will make America great,” right? Or, “if the Dems take the house, we can finally have nice things,” right? Wrong. The reality of the situation is that no matter who gets elected, these politicians have already made a Faustian bargain to keep the police and warfare state in power.

    In today’s political climate, it is no longer a question of which party is in power, or which party will usher in totalitarianism. Instead, we have reached a point of simply waiting for the hammer to finally fall.

    Donald Trump ran on a platform to make government smaller, get America out of these endless wars, cease the chaotic and out of control spending, and rein in the overreaching executive. Instead, he’s continued wars, increased spending, and followed in his predecessor’s footsteps in using his position of president like a dictatorship with executive order after executive order—most recently threatening to alter the very Constitution with one.

    We’re not only speeding toward the edge of a perilous cliff, but arguing over who should steer the wheel — leaving no one competent enough available to man the brakes.

    Any politician who attempts to apply the proverbial brakes is laughed out of Congress, pushed to the fringes, and never sees the light of day in the mainstream media. Case in point, Justin Amash and Tulsi Gabbard.

    As Constitution Attorney John Whitehead so eloquently noted,

    “We’re being subjected to more government surveillance, more police abuse, more SWAT team raids, more roadside strip searches, more censorship, more prison time, more egregious laws, more endless wars, more invasive technology, more militarization, more injustice, more corruption, more cronyism, more graft, more lies, and more of everything that has turned the American dream into the American nightmare.

    What we’re not getting more of: Elected officials who actually represent us!”

    The American people are being guilted, bullied, pressured, cajoled, intimidated, terrorized and browbeaten into voting. We’re constantly told to vote because it’s your so-called civic duty, because you have no right to complain about the government unless you vote, because every vote counts, because we must present a unified front, because the future of the nation depends on it, because God compels us to do so, because by not voting you are in fact voting, because the “other” candidate must be defeated at all costs, or because the future of the Supreme Court rests in the balance.

    Nothing in the Constitution requires that you vote.

    You are under no moral obligation to vote for the lesser of two evils. Indeed, voting for a lesser evil is still voting for evil.

    The ruling elite have no problem flaunting this in front of our faces either. In fact, one Congressman even spoke out in a book, bragging about how voting doesn’t matter and that the US government views the citizens as “sheep.”

    In 2016, the Internet exploded when the book Congressman X was published. In it, the supposed current or former congressman explained that voting is what keeps assholes like him in power.

    “My main job is to keep my job, to get reelected,” Congressman X asserts in the book. “It takes precedence over everything.”

    In regard to how the political class views the citizens, Congressman X did not hold back.

    “Voters are incredibly ignorant and know little about our form of government and how it works,” he says. “It’s far easier than you think to manipulate a nation of naive, self-absorbed sheep who crave instant gratification.”

    “Voters claim they want substance and detailed position papers, but what they really crave are cutesy cat videos, celebrity gossip, top 10 lists, reality TV shows, tabloid tripe, and the next f**king Twitter message,” he rants.
    “In case you haven’t noticed yet, voting changes nothing in regard to the status quo. If it did have any chance of changing anything significant, it would be illegal”.

    What really changes things is disobedience to tyrants and pushing back against government corruption by refusing to be silenced. Seeking a lesser ignorance changes things—not repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

    So, how do we do it? How do we shift the scales to favor freedom and liberty instead of the police state and tyranny? Well, it’s not easy, but it is possible—and necessary.

    As Whitehead notes:
    We get organized. We get educated. We get active.

    If you feel led to vote, fine, but if all you do is vote, “we the people” are going to lose.

    If you abstain from voting and still do nothing, “we the people” are going to lose.

    If you give your proxy to some third-party individual or group to fix what’s wrong with the country and that’s all you do, then “we the people” are going to lose.

    If, however, you’re prepared to shake off the doldrums, wipe the sleep out of your eyes, turn off the television, tune out the talking heads, untether yourself from whatever piece of technology you’re affixed to, wean yourself off the teat of the nanny state, and start flexing those unused civic muscles, then there might be hope for us all.

    For starters, get back to basics. Get to know your neighbors, your community, and your local officials. This is the first line of defense when it comes to securing your base: fortifying your immediate lines.

    Second, understand your rights. Know how your local government is structured. Who serves on your city council and school boards? Who runs your local jail: has it been co-opted by private contractors? What recourse does the community have to voice concerns about local problems or disagree with decisions by government officials?

    Third, know the people you’re entrusting with your local government. Are your police chiefs being promoted from within your community? Are your locally elected officials accessible and, equally important, are they open to what you have to say? Who runs your local media? Does your newspaper report on local events? Who are your judges? Are their judgments fair and impartial? How are prisoners being treated in your local jails?

    Finally, don’t get so trusting and comfortable that you stop doing the hard work of holding your government accountable. END.

    Trusting and comfortable? Hah!! Those are not words used to describe us Neothinkers. We are the Searchers and Seekers of this world and we won’t stop until this season on the planet is over and we are living in the C of U. All of this illusion, disillusion and the dystopia all around us are destined to be ended in the near future. Don’t stop believing and visualizing. Thank you.

86. EX USAF COLONEL & BOEING ENGINEER
    EXPLAINS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED DURING APOLLO 13

    Collective Evolution
    Alternative News
    By Arjun Walia, Staff Writer
    October 22, 2018

    IN BRIEF

    THE FACTS: Colonel Ross Dedrickson, a high ranking military man who spent a long service with the Energy Commission between 1950-1958, claims that the problems with Apollo 13 were handled with care by extraterrestrials.

    REFLECT ON: UFOs are no longer taboo and their existence has been verified via documents, photographs and videos released by dozens of governments. To complement this, we have witness testimony. The common theme is that many crafts ARE extraterrestrial.

    Now that mainstream UFO Disclosure has taken place and more information continues to be brought to light, more and more people are opening up to the idea that some of these UFOs, which are tracked on radar, photographed and videotaped, are extraterrestrial in origin.

    This belief comes as a result from multiple factors, one being credible witness testimony by hundreds of military personnel from all ranks for decades, as well as other researchers, academics, ex-intelligence agency personnel, astronauts, etc. These testimonies compliment the hard evidence that’s already been collected. The ‘UFO problem’ has been subject to the questions of who, what, why, where and when, the only problem is those questions have been asked and answered by those who work within black budget special access programs, programs that are so sensitive that they’re exempt from standard reporting requirements from Congress, as described in this document.

    So, have we been lied to for decades? Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton physics professor, Dr. Brian O’Leary (who was recruited by Carl Sagan to teach at Cornell University) have accused Sagan on being involved with covering up this information. He even accused Sagan of fudging evidence regarding the ‘Face on Mars.’ You can see what he said, and read more about that in-depth here.

    The very first director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter, told the world that there has been an official campaign of ridicule and secrecy to cover up for the fact that UFOs are real, and that some of them are indeed extraterrestrial. He did so to the New York Times in 1960.

    With the recent admittance of the existence of UFO’s by multiple countries, lead by the TO THE STARS ACADEMY in the United States, another factor having some believe they are extraterrestrial, including Louis Elizondo, who used to be a director of one of the UFO study programs within the Pentagon, is the fact that the objects are observed performing maneuvers that defy our laws of physics and aerodynamics.

    So far, apart from that statement given on CNN, he has emphasized how their group is purposely steering away from the extraterrestrial question for now and simply focusing on the objects because there are a lot of feelings that come up when discussing this topic.

    “I will tell you unequivocally that, through the observation, scientific methodologies that were applied to look at this… That these aircraft are displaying characteristics that are not currently within the US inventory nor in any foreign inventory… My personal belief is that there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone, whatever that means.”

    Unfortunately, there always seems to be a “threat” narrative from the mainstream…

    The secrecy on this subject, as you can imagine, runs very deep. Everything is compartmentalized, and everybody who has experienced or been a part of these programs is aware of that.

    Sure, we are seeing mainstream disclosure, but this topic leaves no aspect of humanity untouched. If there is a secret space program, if governments have catalogued multiple species of beings, if there is new technology and new propulsion systems that “utilize the wheel work of nature,” then how does one expect those who control the secrecy around this subject to simply disclose it? We should have had mass transparency from the very beginning, but this world of secrecy has developed so much that it’s nearly impossible to get the entire truth out about multiple things within this subject. Technology, extraterrestrial intelligence, and all of the questions you can think of have been the subject of inquiry for years, and we’ve been left completely in the dark.

    Disclosure will lead to corporate collapses, like the oil industry. It would lead to lawsuits from various private military contractors, the list is huge and the implications of the disclosure are just the same.

    The largest benefit could most possibly be the impact on human consciousness and our awareness of metaphysical realms, non-material science would no doubt get a big boost.

    Whether this was done to protect corporate/government interests or simply because it was ‘too big’ for the human mind to comprehend and accept is up in the air, but it seems to be a good mix of both.

    APOLLO 13

    When it comes to astronauts, it’s amusing how a select few receive media attention, and it’s usually the ones that attempt to debunk the UFO/extraterrestrial phenomena. On the other hand, we have a plethora of astronauts, perhaps even more than 50 percent of them in the United States, who have told the world that they know for a fact that UFOs are real, and that some of them are piloted by beings from somewhere else in the universe. Why is it that these astronauts don’t receive much attention, why are their words not taken as credible, and why are astronauts who debunk these claims instantaneously believed? Definitely strange to say the least.

    The video below, however, is not from an astronaut, but a testimony from Colonel Ross Dedrickson.
    His testimony, as well as obituary states:

    He was assigned to the US Atomic Energy Commission. A long service with the Energy Commission between 1950-1958 included, contract administration duties at Nevada test sites, Pacific Nuclear Test Area west of Hawaii, nuclear weapon manufacturing and quality assurance in Albuquerque, and inspection of nuclear and non-nuclear facilities throughout the country. He served with the 5th Air Force in Japan and later as a ranking Colonel, Officer in Charge of the Pacific Unified Command (TM)s alternate “command and control center” in Hawaii. In 1962, he was transferred and served as Deputy for Material for the 832 Air Division at Canon Air Force Base, Clovis, New Mexico. He retired from the USAF in 1964.

    Did we go to the Moon? We’ve written a number of articles explaining why we feel that yes, we did, but the official story we’re told about the Moon doesn’t really add up. Sources for these claims come from within the industry, as well, from military personnel to former NASA employees, intelligence officers etc. Colonel Dedrickson is only one great example.

    Made popular by Hollywood, Apollo 13 became known as the journey to the Moon that experienced technical difficulties, making it difficult and near impossible for the craft to return home. According to Dedrickson:

    “A spacecraft went to the rescue of Apollo 13, and they accompanied Apollo 13 on their voyage around the Moon back to Earth. And on two occasions they thought they might have to transfer the crew to their spacecraft, but they saw them safely back to Earth.” (This spacecraft was not from Earth)

    He gives a lot more information in the interview below, so take from it what you will. I published an article prior to this one about his statements claiming extraterrestrials would not allow the detonation of nuclear weapons on the Moon for our own scientific measurements, those comments are also from this interview.

    (My Note: The interview title online is ‘”sirius exclusive interview Saucers Over DC Col Ross Dedrickson’. It’s also linked in the article and is only 13.58 mins long).

    THE TAKEAWAY

    The takeaway message is that we are not alone and that this topic is moving outside of the debatable realm every single year. The implications of ET disclosure are huge, it really changes everything and brings up a lot of questions. Our civilization should be working in complete transparency, secrecy is only for those with selfish interests to protect. But the world is a mess, and this is and may have to be a process over many years. The metaphysical and spiritual implications, among others like technological, are what awaits us if we can make the correct changes within and become a more peaceful people. END.

    Time to wake up to reality and prepare to meet our ancestors! If you really wish to see current (this week) information on what the REAL TRUTH is about Disclosure – Order David Wilcock’s new Film debuted on October 30th titled “ABOVE MAJESTIC”. Even if you’ve followed Dr. Steven Greer, all the astronauts and whistleblowers along with supposed ‘fanatics’ on this subject (including me) you will have a full report – It’s a big whopping $15 or one time rental of $6. It went viral in mere hours after being released and was ‘too dangerous’ to hold the film launch party they had planned. And the truths presented are mind-boggling. I believe nothing is going to stop this from getting out there to the rest of the world. Putin’s been demanding it be released for many years. We need to get past the shock and awe and start cleaning up this giant mess for real, beginning with draining the swamp of all the Neocheaters and evildoers in the U.S. (along with the rest of the satanic mob that’s loose on this world) – and having FULL DISCLOSURE about our history and Super Human capabilities!! This is truly THE most important news of all time for Humanity. Hurry up World … things aren’t getting any better day by day here! We need what ‘THEY’ can bring to us. Thanks Dr. Wallace and Mark for being “real’ in an unreal world on this planet to bring forward as much information as you ‘could’. And thanks to anyone left out there reading this who may even care.

87. FIRST EXTRATERRESTRIAL HUMANS EXPECTED
    TO BE BORN IN 2024!

    COLLECTIVE EVOLUTION
    ALTERNATIVE NEWS
    October 31, 2018 By Arjun Walia, CE Staff Writer

    IN BRIEF

    THE FACTS: A Netherlands-based company recently announced their intention to create space-based human reproduction by 2024. The 4 stage mission will create the first fully disclosed Extraterrestrial Humans!

    REFLECT ON: Are you ready for a reality where we become a space race? Are you open to the reality of extraterrestrial life? Do we not already know of extraterrestrial humans based on declassified documents and whistleblower testimony?

    We are living in truly exciting times, as our reality creeps towards a fantasy-like type of existence with the rise of new technologies like artificial intelligence. We’re also becoming aware of outside the box realities like the fact that we may have been visited by intelligent extraterrestrials, or are currently being visited by them.

    We are entering a time of extremely high technological capabilities, and when I think about humanity and technology, it’s almost unfathomable to see just how far we’ve come in the past 100 years alone. Just picture the level of technology that existed in 1900, or 1800, the people alive then would not even be able to fathom what we have now. And to think, even far greater technologies exist and have existed within the black budget world that the average human is unaware of.

    The list is long, from over-unity energy technology to cloning to advanced health care, there are incredible things being developed. One thing is certain, we are becoming an advanced civilization, and if we can use our technology with the intent of goodwill for all and the planet, we will be fine. But if we continue on this path of rapid technological development for greedy, selfish, capitalist and egoic purposes, we’re not going to make it.

    SUSTAINABLE LIFE BEYOND EARTH

    One of the latest pieces of ‘out of the box’ tech news comes from a Netherlands-based company who recently announced their intention to create space-based human reproduction within the next decade. The name of the company is SpaceLifeOrigin, and their goal is “enabling sustainable life beyond Earth.” The company plans to use its patent-pending technology to create the first generations of humans not born on this Earth. They are aiming to complete the first three parts of the mission, which is a four-stage mission, by 2024, which will create the first human baby every born in space.

    “If humanity wants to become a multi-planetary species, we also need to learn how to reproduce in space, SpaceLife Origin is thrilled to announce its Missions Program to enable sustainable life beyond earth. A world’s first and truly unique critical step in the future of mankind. We believe that any space company, agency or nation with ambitions for colonization of other planets will benefit from partnering with us for the successful execution and completion of their own plans.” – Kees Mulder

    MISSION ARK, MISSION LOTUS, MISSION CRADLE

    Stage one of the process is called MISSION ARK. It will send 1000 radiation shielded tubes filled with male and female reproductive cells to space from across the globe.

    Patent pending technology is the core of SpaceLife Origin Ark, which contains 1.000 protected tubes with human reproduction cells. The Ark provides a safe, radiation shielded environment. The cells (male, female and 2-PN) are harvested in approved and supervised IVF clinics worldwide. The cells are vitrified and stored safely in secure Earth locations and in a satellite in space. Protecting the cells for any catastrophic event on Earth for decades. The ultimate and most unique insurance for mankind. Real-time tracking and footage from cameras on board enable customers to view and show their ‘seeds-of-life’ cells in orbit.

    Next is MISSION LOTUS. It involves launching what the company refers to as a “Space-Embryo-Incubator,” into orbit. It will be loaded with male and female reproductive cells that are automatically conceived upon arrival in space. The craft will induce a zero-gravity environment in orbit, and it will be capable of creating a gravity that mimics Earth, Lunar or Martian environments. This device will then return to Earth four days later, and the actual pregnancies and births will take place on Earth.

    MISSION CRADLE, the last stage, includes a 24-36 hour mission where a woman who is pregnant will give birth at 250 miles above the Earth with the help of a medical team.

    “It’s a small step for a baby, but a giant baby-step for mankind,” said Dr. Egbert Edelbroek, SpaceLife Origins Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer.

    The person selected will be from a pool of 25 participants. You can find out more information by visiting their website, they go into greater detail.

    After successful delivery of the first, healthy space-born child, the sky’s the limit as the company intends to lead the way in producing the first generations of Extraterrestrial Humans by 2032, “because life on Earth could become very challenging over the next century.”

    THE TAKEAWAY

    We are emerging as a space race in multiple ways. With our rapid technological advancement, we are approaching a world where space will be at our fingertips. There is evidence to suggest that the black budget world already has, in the form of a secret space program, many technologies that can quickly put us in space if they were disclosed and put into use. In fact, a new film called Above Majestic speaks of this secret space program in detail.

    Corporations also have the ability to start the beginnings of space tourism. Prior to the Trump administration, NASA and governments were the only ones allowed in, but what we are currently witnessing is the privatization of space. Many corporations are going to try and capitalize on the space industry as it seems to be ‘the next big thing’ to emerge from humanity.

    That being said, I believe our race needs to reach a certain level of emotional intelligence, consciousness and maturity before we enter into that world. As it is, and the way things are on planet Earth, if there is a ‘space-faring’ community out there, we’re probably not yet welcome. I truly believe we must learn to get along and stop warring with one another.

    Is our future in the stars? I believe we decide.

    Also reflect on the fact that intelligent Extraterrestrial Humans may have and already have been visiting us, you can find out more information about that in the disclosure section of our website. END.

    Wow! This adds to our ever-growing picture of creating our Zon-Man/Zon-Woman Super Human paradigm that is underway and discussed a great deal in the Neothink Society. Thanks to Dr. Frank Wallace and Mark Hamilton for creating this endeavor. Disclosure must be almost here. I believe many of us are way past ready for that EVENT! The rising of consciousness and Humanity into our 5D Civilization of The Universe! Love ya,

88. IT’S ALMOST HALLOWEEN!
    HERE’S WHAT BLACK CATS ACTUALLY SYMBOLIZE

    Collective Evolution – Alternative News
    October 23, 2018 By Alanna Ketler

    IN BRIEF

    THE FACTS: Black cats, for most people have been associated with bad luck. The truth is, black cats can symbolize many things, and have throughout history.

    REFLECT ON: Have you been seeing black cats? Do they have any particular symbolism for you? It is often said, what you truly find meaning in, is where the significance lies.

    Cats have had a special bond with humans and have been domesticated since ancient Egyptian times. In fact, they were even regarded as gods in these times and treated with the utmost care and respect. It seems that for those of us who really know cats, we understand that there is something special about these animals, so much so that we too are willing to feed them, scoop up their poop, and let them destroy our furniture… seems like perhaps not much has changed since ancient Egypt after all.

    Throughout history, many people have been superstitious about black cats in particular, and will avoid them whenever they see them. If you are thinking this is just a silly superstition and people don’t actually believe that black cats are bad luck, then you should know that they are the least likely to be adopted from an animal shelter. There are stories that they are sometimes tormented, captured and even killed on Halloween night.

    So, where does this superstition come from? Should we be wary of black cats? If so maybe I’m screwed because I have been the proud owner of my handsome black kitty I call Salem, (I know, how original, right?) for the past 5 years. I often call him my ‘Halloween cat’. This also brings up the point of how black cats and witches seem to go hand in hand. So, why is this and what do we need to know about these furry black creatures?

    FIRST, SOME HISTORY

    Throughout history black cats have generally been associated with occultism. According to Hebrew and Babylonian folklore, cats are compared to serpents, coiled on the hearth. In ancient Egypt, the act of killing a cat was punishable by death, and when a cat would die it would be mummified followed by the family entering into a period of mourning. Roman cultures considered the cat to be sacred and brought this animal into Europe. The vast majority of countries in Europe consider a black cat crossing one’s path to be bad luck and the church has long since associated black cats with witchcraft.

    These animals were also believed to be shapeshifters and that witches were able to transform into them with their spells and do evil things without being noticed. Many people believed that the devil himself would take the form of a black cat and sadly on holy days like Easter, in the Middle Ages, black cats were often hunted down and burned.

    Luckily, in some cultures the perception of the black cat began to change and it went from being seen as bad luck to good luck in countries like Scotland who still regard a strange black cat on your porch as a sign of prosperity to come. In England, fishermen’s wives would keep black cats in their homes while their husbands were away in the belief that these animals would prevent danger from occurring to their husbands while they were off at sea.

    SOME MORE UPDATED THEORIES

    There is no doubt that superstitions regarding black cats are some of the most widely known and popular. One has to wonder what witches really saw in black cats and why they had a relationship with them in the first place, because by now many people realize that witches were not evil, but just more connected to the power of the universe that lies within us all. The powers that be did not want this information getting out, hence the massive crusade against witches and pretty much any intuitive woman during the middle ages. So why did the witches really keep black cats?

    According to a website called Witches Lore, a black cat is a good companion to have around because it will double the power of any spell, black cats are witches themselves and are more connected to the mysterious powers of the universe. You can learn everything about magic just from talking to your cat.

    Black aside, the cat represents the following attributes, according to website spiritanimal.

    Patience, waiting for the right moment to react
    Independence, yet enjoying social connections
    Spirit of adventure, courage
    Deep, relaxed connection with self
    Healing from the inside out
    Curiosity, exploration of the unknown or the unconscious

    Another way to see the meaning of the cat as a spirit animal or totem is to pay attention to its ability to see in the dark and be at ease when most other animals and humans are not. If the cat shows up in your life as a spirit guide or you have this animal as totem, you may be inclined to start exploring areas in your life or aspects or yourself that you do not know well yet.

    When we observe cats, we see that they are characterized by the flexibility and agility. No matter the circumstances, it will always manage to fall back on its feet. By affinity with the cat totem, you may be encouraged to develop your flexibility at many different levels, whether it is in your physical body, mind, emotions, or spirit.

    The cat totem is a source of inspiration to renew your perspective and have the courage to act or integrate it into your life. If the cat spirit animal shows up in your life, it may be time to explore new ways to look at things.

    Here’s another interesting point made by the Archives of American Art:

    “It’s not all bad for the black cat though. Black cats aboard ships at sea are a longstanding tradition associated with good luck. From pirate ships to naval vessels, cats have been welcomed on board because they keep the rodents away from the ship’s food supply and provide companionship for an isolated crew. Unlike in the United States, where they typically have negative connotations, other nations—like the United Kingdom and Japan—believe that black cats can bring prosperity, bless a marriage, ensure good harvests, and even help bring success to a theater production.”

    DO CATS SHOW UP IN YOUR DREAMS?

    Of course, some people perceive the presence of cats in their dreams as bad omens, others believe that the cat represents your feminine essence and sensuality. These dreams may be a reminder to let your inner mischievous and mysterious nature shine through. If a black cat shows up, this is a message to pay attention to what your intuition is telling you. The Ancient Egyptians believed that cats could travel between dimensions, so it would not be that strange to see a black cat in your dream with a message for you.

    It seems as if there has been an heir of mystery and wonder around black cats since their relationships with humans began. I believe they are just as special as any other cat and my boy, Salem, just happens to be the friendliest cat I’ve ever met, he crosses my path on a regular basis and as far as I know, I’m doing just fine! Perhaps these superstitions are what you make them. END.

    This is sent out for my good buddies who all love cats as much as I do. Black cats have always been some of my very best favorites! A shame they’ve been condemned and victimized in the mystical paranoid world. Cowboy recently lost his Simon The Cross-Eyed Kitty and it is definitely heartbreaking when one of these super friends leave us. Some news on the ‘let’s just lighten up, folks’ venue. Thanks for reading. Thanks Mark Hamilton.

89. First and foremost, Thank you Forest for your post and kind words here on wiki. I am steadfast in our (my) goal to reach the 15,000 mar before this site is taken away.
    I started piecing together a book back in August. In my thoughts on those pages , the subject of love went through my mind a lot. Lost love, devoted love and pure love. Like so many people today who use the word today, it has become a catch phrase with out significant meaning. Digger speaks about pure love. One of the perks of us older guys in our 80’s , is that we are no longer worried about being the epitome of macho man, we have experienced life through the bad times and the good ones, and I am pretty damn sure, I still prefer love overall. As far back as I can remember, I always felt that Name-Sake grandfather may have died an unhappy imbittered old man. It was just a feeling , mind you, but in later years, it was explained to me that there had been a family rift, or feud as it’s called back in the hills, and for years this had created bad feelings in the family. After his passing myself and some others patched up that family feud, and got to know the other side of the family. Guess What? They “good folks” too. I think my mothers upbringing in her own silent way, must have passed the genes and DNA on to me. That’s what may have instilled the love bug in me. If I have a question , I have often wondered if I may have loved too hard, or more than others loved. Pretty silly, isn’t it?. I seen this little piece about AI that reminds me of something we read in Miss Annabelle’s Secret. How is AI changing our lives? It will turn us into cyborgs. Shimon Whiteson, an associate professor at the Informatics Institute of Amsterdam predicts that “In the future we are all going to be cyborgs” with the aid of “AI” As part people, part machine, we will become a “tightly -coupled cognitive unit” with competitors , giving us unlimited access to skill and memories. Meanwhile, I give love.

    Good Morning Wayne and Cheryl,
    Your Post regarding Rhonda Byrne’s book – titled “THE SECRET” describes one of my favorite books on “The Law of Attraction” and how to use “The Law of Manifestation.”

    Back in 2006, I was browsing through the book department of the local Fred Meyer shopping center. I had read other books which had been printed about “The Law of Attraction,” but they somehow just didn’t cover the subject well enough to give me the information which I needed.

    When I saw the book titled “The Secret” – I started scanning through the contents of this book. It had a “Power of Attraction” inside — that urged me to purchase it on the spot! I discovered that inside its cover – there was a DVD covering the contents of the book. Bob Proctor was one of the presenters on the DVD, among a few other inspiring speakers. The subjects they talked about, led me to purchase other DVD’s and Bob Proctor was the main speaker on one of them. What I learned from the book and the DVD’s were both inspiring and motivating. I immediately began to put the Principles outlined in the contents – To WORK in my life. Every night as I was lying there in bed, I repeated my choice of the affirmations – verbally, to fix them firmly in my subconscious mind, because I KNEW that this is where the seeds of our thoughts are planted, and where they would grow into maturity. I KNEW that this is the place where the Forces of the Universe, would bring my thoughts and desires into MANIFESTATION!

    One of the most important affirmations, was concerning my desire to find the “LOVE of my LIFE” – My future LIFE PARTNER. It did not take very long because I had become a member of the e-harmony network, which matches you with other “female” members, through a computerized system based on “29 dimensions of Compatibility.”

    In this system, one of the requirements was that everything I would be writing in my original profile, was to be written with “Complete and Total Honesty!” This was a requirement that I believed in with all my heart. I was presented with over 300 different women who matched my profile, and most of them did not write to me at all. I wrote in my profile – about the kind of woman I was looking for, what I WANTED in a relationship, and what I DIDN’T want. In addition to this, I stated that if they did not post a photo of themselves, then I felt that they had something to HIDE, and this constituted a “Breach” in their agreement to be Totally Honest with me!!
    Out of 300 women introduced to me, there was only ONE – who was Totally Honest and continued to communicate with me until we had written over 350 pages of letters between us. We literally fell in love through these letters. When I finally met her for the first time, I left my apartment in Washington State, and went to HER apartment in Oregon State. I never went back to live in Washington. We met face to face – on October 3, 2008, and we were Married on October 26th of that same month!!
    We have been happily married now – for 10 wonderful years.

    Wayne, — In your posts on this Wikipedia site, — you have always made it a special point to encourage everyone who reads your posts, — to LET THEIR LOVE SHOW, and SHARE IT with EVERYONE. This is so very important to DO IT – every day!! Thank you for your excellent encouragement.

    There are SO MANY homes out there in the A/C world – where the occupants of those homes don’t have a CLUE about how to show and share love, — especially with their spouses. Carol and I watched one of the Dr. Phil shows recently. She records them and then we watch them when we have the time. Yesterday there was a young couple being interviewed by Dr. Phil – and this beautiful girl has been BEATEN physically and so terribly, that her face was nearly un-recognizable!! Her husband seems to be possessed by some kind of INTERNAL DEMON, and once he gets started he doesn’t stop until she is NEARLY DEAD!! — When he gets tired of using his fists on her, he then uses his FEET – to Stomp on her. This man was beaten the same way by his own father when he was growing up, and NOW he is bearing the SAME KIND of fruit toward his wife, as his father did – toward him. It makes me SICK AT HEART to know that this kind of behavior is prevalent in so many homes.
    The CHILDREN are often beaten until they are nearly dead as well!!

    About half the time that these Dr. Phil shows are aired, there are many people who are having “wonderful” loving lives in their homes, and many others receive deliverance and help from Dr. Phil, who is a very compassionate man, and his wife is very much involved in programs that help mentally and physically abused women and children.
    I cannot even “IMAGINE” – EVER doing something like this to the woman I am married to. I LOVE HER SO MUCH, that I don’t have words to describe the nature of my Love for her.

    Wayne, — if you are ever fortunate enough to find a wonderful, loving life partner again, I am wishing and hoping that it will happen for you – and very soon my dear friend. My Love reaches out to you and to Cheryl, and the energy goes out to you – right along with my love.
    Sincerely, — Forest and Carol

    I was doing a search for a book I am trying to put together, and ran into a bunch of quotes from Mark Twain. As I read through them , I was thinking maybe he (Twain) was a renaissance man or one of the first Neo-thinkers. and thought I would have some fun with a few of his lesser known quotes.
    On:
    Psychuous Sex. “What would men be without women?…… SCARCE…. Mighty scarce”.

    Anti-civilization. “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, It’s time to pause and reflect.”.

    Morality. “It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare.”

    Biological Immortality. “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at
    anytime.”

    Self Leadership. “Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option.”
    Percepts. “Man is the only animal that blushes….or needs to.”

    Religion. “The bible has noble poetry in it…and some good morals and a wealth of obscenity, and upwards of a thousand lies.

    Child of the past. “The most interesting information come from children for they tell all they know and then stop.”

    Mysticisms. “You believe in a book that has talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, burning bushes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, and all sorts of magical , absurd and primitive stories , and you say that we are the ones who needs help?”

    Health and Wellness. “Be careful about reading health books, you may die of a misprint.”.

    Genius . “Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered, either by themselves or by others”.

    Politics. ” A half truth is the most cowardly of lies.”

    “Fleas can be taught nearly anything a congressman can”.

    “I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really .mean
    it”

    Education. “Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.”

    Will Rogers had a few quotes suitable for this page, but all in all, he had a pretty strong bias opinion re; politics.

    ” A fool and his money are soon elected.”

    “I don’t make jokes, I just watch the government and report the facts.”

    “America has the best politicians money can buy.”.

    Woody Guthrie may of had the most thought provoking quotes of them all, He said,

    “If we fix it so you cant make money on war, we’ll all forget what we’re killing folks for.”

    “I better quit my talking cause I told you all I know, but please remember Partner, where ever you may go, The people are building a peaceful world , and when the job is done, That’ll be the biggest thing that man has ever done”.

    That’s about it from myself and the rest of the common folk, and thanks for reading. Maybe one or more of these old quotes will give you a smile. Put a little love in your heart.

    From the Rise of Neo-Tech.
    The nature of man is that he, unlike all other animals, has the unique ability to think in concepts.
    No other animal can think beyond percepts. Furthermore man can integrate two or more concepts into new and still wider and more abstract concepts….. The logical integration of concepts is called reasoning….. Man’s survival mechanism is his reasoning ability….. Unlike all other animals whose survival mechanisms work automatically, man’s reasoning does not work automatically….. He alone must choose to exert the effort required to reason properly….If his reason to function through reason is impaired , undermined or damaged by misuse or nonuse, his quality of life, his self worth and long range happiness are reduced accordingly.

    WE ARE THE LIVING LIGHT OF THE WORLD!
    By Judith Curless

    Welcome everyone! Back in our Aladdin’s Cave once more. That soft, light snowfall is so lovely looking down into a faraway valley below with a village’s lights twinkling. It brings quiet and peace to our gathering. Our little Light Body ships are randomly parked inside the cavern entrance – strewn across that wall they look like ornaments – all the bright colors and models being so festive and diverse, just like we are! Reaching into the Treasure Chest, here’s tonight’s title: “We Are The Living Light Of The World!”

    THERE’S A NEW FREQUENCY IN TOWN!

    Time to rock the show! Year 2018 has been the start of the Collective Zero-Point experience where powerful shifts have continuously taken place! I guess we all realize by now that our World is in the Season of its Greatest Storms. There’s been a disordering and dismantling of the Old Paradigm and its structures and a new ordering and further establishment of the New Paradigm’s Codes. There has been a collaboration in these storms. An extraordinary cleansing and release process is intensely ongoing on our World clearing planetary pestilence and restoring the Law of One. This is the rise of the One Unity Consciousness Field we are witnessing and experiencing!

    The storm is swirling globally at this time – in every country, government, leader, manager, worker, family, person and heart on the Planet – going through this transition and transformation process. The Ascension is in full swing now! Some might think the storms are only physical ones related to weather patterns of extreme hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes or record rain and snowfalls. Yet the storms I speak of are of an even much greater magnitude. These are literally designed to shake up every molecule of every living and non-living thing on Earth today … to cleanse now, or be cleansed – to purge the density now, or be purged – and to embrace the New Light Codes or be released from the stratosphere of this Earth Realm.

    This New Frequency has now arrived! It is a vast beam and Ray of Light, so powerful it creates and clears worlds of greater density, suffering, separation, division and darkness. As the new Cosmic Sheriff in town (so to speak) it only leads by Frequencies of Light. Like the sun, it doesn’t work hard, conspire, manipulate or control … to shine. Shining and alignment are its Essence! And we are just like it as the Living Essence of the very same Light – a vast, infinite ray and beam of Timeless and Eternal Light. We truly are the Living Light of the World!

    This New Light is the Law of the Planet. It is the order, harmony and foundation upon which all new structures and all new communities and global citizenry is now based. Then what’s with all these giant storms? It’s part of the Old Earth’s birthing process into the New Realm of Life within this Co-Creation Paradigm. Ascension invites the rising Up of Your consciousness, your awareness and perception of reality as it shifts within You. It invites in change and transformation at both the practical and the transcendent levels, as what shifts inside starts to shift what You experience on the outside. As our heart’s cry calls out to higher realms and commands forth abundance, peace, the intercultural understanding and respect for All, that exact same Fifth Dimensional reality is required from ourselves. These qualities come from that realm which requires us, as Wayshowers, to bring forth exactly those Frequencies in our own Beings we’re now commanding forth in our outer reality.

    We’re watching the 3D holographic matrix collapse all around us more each day. The old structures are decaying as they’re no longer receiving the energy and/or Frequency support they need to thrive in the old ways. Separation Consciousness has gasped a last breath! And the great storms signal that gasp. A time of pain, suffering and separation is dying on this World and a time of Unity, Light and Collaboration is birthing. The storms are expelling the old, exposing the old and embracing the New Light and Paradigm emerging in its place. There is instead that which we are every moment rising to in beautiful and astounding ways. A Cosmic Reawakening brings a new form of self-expression for each one, our communities and Planet, all rising daily to new heights.

    As the parasites rise up in defiance, all those misaligned with the new Crystalline Light Codes will no longer be housed by or on Earth’s physical body temple. A global clarion call was signaled to Humanity on December 21, 2012 – and now in September and October of 2018, the time for a more active phase of that Declaration and Quest For Liberation is at hand. Fighting the storms only amplifies frequencies of resistance and division. Acknowledging them and their true purpose now allows them to flow through, destroying misaligned structures as the Collective moves into the construction of a New Unified Humanity and Heart Center for all Life!

    THE LAW OF ONE IS MANIFESTING!

    The storms are stark because the chasm between 3D and 5D Consciousness is stark. The principles of Oneness, alignment, highest good, peace, prosperity, miracles, unity and love are the New Law of the New Earth. In the new Law of One everything will benefit the Collective One as The Greater Good, with no “us” or “them”. However, we must become Frequency specific to this New Earth. We must rise in our consciousness and change our ways through the vibrational choices we make on a moment to moment basis to continue to live and thrive here! Nothing less will be tolerated or accepted by the planetary’s new energy requirements. Out of these storms is arising a Truth Tornado heading straight toward us breaking apart and clearing it All for a clean slate.

    The Law of One came forward as an experimental project begun in 1962 with a refined process lasting 19 years. Then in 1981 the program results changed drastically in quality and precision as the Elkins, Rueckert and McCarty trio advanced in comprehension of knowledge coming through. Everything was recorded. From ‘Book I The Ra Material’: “The identity of the vibration Ra is our identity. We as a group, or what you would call a social memory complex. We are those who are of the Law of One. In our vibration, the polarities are harmonized; the complexities are simplified; the paradoxes have a solution. We are One. That is our nature and our purpose.”

    Coming from Sixth Density, they were in contact on the planet with Egyptians and others from 11,000 years of our time, in order to bring unity and love to Earth people not yet ready. Five short books from 1982 – 1985 present astounding insights and knowledge, that is Now coming mainstream. Now the Ra message and Law is energetically expanding into realization. David Wilcock lived with Carla Rueckert and Jim McCarty from 2003 to 2006. He has discussed these teachings extensively and you can read and study the entire series at no cost at “lawofone.info” and it’s referenced on his website “Divine Cosmos”.

    Humanity has been taught and conditioned in more recent centuries that energy isn’t real. Certainly not in daily life. Only in science, right? We’ve been trained to believe only in experts outside ourselves. And only what they say. We’ve been discouraged, shamed, and even ridiculed for and from believing in our own intuition. This can’t be further from the truth, as we are Sentient Beings. We’re divinely created and wired to feel, connect and to collaborate. We instinctively want to help each other as we can feel compassion for another’s suffering. Basically, we’ve been conditioned ad nauseum to stay distracted forever. Until Now when science and highest consciousness reality intersect at a Zero Point.

    The inner storms and outer storms … they are coming. The wounds, inside and out … are surfacing. Crimes against the Planet and Humanity are being exposed, one by one, and will be until All is exposed and the great clearing of these lower 3D Frequencies is done. So, listen to Your heart first and quiet Your mind, as it will only take You into ever more storms. The outer storms reflect the global inner ones. The Earth is continuing to rise in Frequency, amplifying the new requirements for abiding by the Original Laws Of One that birthed this Planet countless eons ago.

    Your discerning heart will lead You to true Truth. We’re being aided on this journey of achieving higher consciousness to our true Heart Center’s Infinite Intelligence and Light once again. As this occurs, the Truth of our I-ness (Soul) is liberated and we’ll see the storms pass more easily and quickly. These insights will be recognized by those who have the ears to hear, eyes to see and hearts open enough. If You are hearing or reading these words, you are probably among the Lightworkers, or at least, awake and aware Self-Leaders to help catalyze this Event.

    MORPHING INTO ZONS!

    We are here to usher in and embody a completely new Human Being; a Super Human we in Neothink call Zon-Man/Zon-Woman, who will achieve Supra-Power! Our Human embodiment manifests kindness, love and cooperation as more natural than selfish, dominating and war-mongering as our true ‘Human Nature’. Prehistoric times were abundant, with plenty for all and very little competition for needs in Earth’s small populations, and not a fight for survival as has been historically incorrectly depicted. Hunter-gatherer groups didn’t need to compete nor struggle for resources. Traits of cooperation and tens of thousands of years of peace prevailed as proof.

    Present-day Human traits developed during what is termed as the “environment of evolutionary adaptedness” (EEA). So, selfishness and cruelty weren’t natural to us. It’s thought the “fall” into hierarchy, warfare and other negative traits began about 6,000 years ago with a psychological consciousness change into individuality and separateness, breeding competition for control. However, recognize that our “good” side is much more deep-rooted than the so-called “bad” people (Dr. Wallace called Humanoids).

    MESSAGE OF APRIL 11, 2017

    To integrate this a bit more, I refer back to my message titled “Incredible Beings Of Light!”. This was basically a mini-treatise on the topic from a quantum physics and a spiritual view of Humanity. The subtitles give a review: “Biophotons: The Human Body Emits, Communicates With And Is Made From Light! Our Cells And DNA Use Biophotons To Store And Communicate Information. Human Skin May Capture Energy and Information From Sunlight. Intention Is A Living Force Of Physiology (‘The Ghost in the Machine’). DNA Can Be Programmed By Words and Frequencies. The Immensity of Biological Complexity. Applied Epigenetics – The Art And Science of DNA Activation, Healing And Repair. Epigenetics And Beyond (Also one on June 20, 2017 I called ‘The Higher Healings’). Consciousness Is A Vibration. What Lies Ahead For Humanity? Researchers Store Digital Data on DNA. (And) Spiritual Connection With Earth.” This was like a preface for tonight’s facts. (It’s printed online at WikipediavsNeo-Tech.com. For some reason I didn’t write the playback reference number in my file.

    LIGHT BODY AND MERKABA ACTIVATIONS

    Radical cosmic events trigger these activations! We’re being drawn Up into the Light, while still remaining on the material plane, a feat only possible in the lower bandwidth of the Fifth Dimension. This is a first on a planetary scale as in order to reach higher vibratory fields of Light, we change. We refine our instincts, honing our antennae to read our energetic environment. The more we change, evolve and transform, just like dominoes, the more that changes around us. The interface space where we and our perceived reality meet and interact is transforming. We’re being freed of the constraints of the patriarchal, dark and sinister reality of the matrix. We’ve been offered a way out while still remaining on Earth, to be able to restore Her when the time comes. The Time is Now – we are there – riding the crest of this wave of Light so bright, powerful and profound we may never experience anything like this in a thousand lifetimes!

    Why is this happening? We are shifting from Carbon-Based Beings to Crystalline-Based Beings. The frequency of Mother Earth will be raised from 7.83hz to 12-13hz. Our DNA is being upgraded, as well. Our chakra system is advancing from seven to twelve (as it was in ancient times) which provides us with abilities to understand these higher frequencies manifesting on Earth right now. The new chakras will come in and fill in the gaps as their base function is adaptogenic, and will adapt to your environment and needs. Possibly this fascinating topic can be brought out next time.

    By looking on one of the periodic charts, we know that the carbon-based structures we currently have and the silicon structure are actually only a few molecules away. With a few rearrangements, we have a Shift from one to another. This is occurring not only throughout Earth, but also the plant, insect and animal kingdoms are all taking on crystalline structures! We will no longer have Carbon-based bodies. After evolving into Crystalline bodies, further along the path, they will become Light Bodies. In Light Bodies, we will have less and less need for physical food to sustain us. Our energy will come directly from Source Light and Love. We have the ability to tune into this now, and I’ve mentioned before persons living on the sun’s energy almost 100% since the 1980’s.

    The energies enable you to create your own Energy Body known as the Merkaba. This facilitates for you to travel, see, feel, touch and move through other dimensional spaces, for you to recognize your Multidimensional Being, to create a space for your I-ness to grow and express itself! Ascension is the crystallizing of the physical body to vibrate higher and higher to become more and more your Merkaba, your vehicle of Light and multidimensional travel. You didn’t know you’ve been in process of building your own tiny ship with your mind, did you? You imagine it into being! And operate it by your mind. Holding space for this transition of the physical body is to trust the symptoms that move through are for the reason and goal of this embodiment of your Merkaba.

    THE GEOMAGNETIC SPACE STORMS

    I wish to make You aware of these powerful incoming waves we’re experiencing. These certainly can leave one dazed and confused at times! The September Equinox and Solstice were massive passageways for clearing out all old – All that no longer is vibrationally/energetically Now highest-aligned. That week of the full Harvest Moon, we moved into major stargate alignments and upshiftings as the old collapsed at warp speed for unification on a much Higher Dimensional Timeline to occur. Pretty cool …

    But October truly sent us reeling! October 7th, 8th, 9th & 10th brought geomagnetic storms from space. Symptoms from that week’s barrage included: “Fatigue, Sleep Disturbance, Vivid Dreams, Restless, Awake Between 2 to 5AM, Feeling Of ‘Fight Or Flight’ Mode, Dizziness, Ear-Ringing, Nausea, Shaky Stomach Issues, Aches and Pains, Tension, Dehydration, Irritable, Nervous, Anxiety, Making Major Life-Changing Decisions, Heightened Intuition, Sensitivity, Time Going Too Fast or Too Slow, Physical and Energy Body Vibrating Fast, Internal GPS System Out, Feeling ‘Lost’, and Technology Not Functioning Properly.” Wow! As these energies keep on coming, we must embrace them and cope, since we know the destination. Perhaps Just-Survive-And-Arrive-Alive might be a thought. Anyone out there not recall anything weird going on these past two months? And what will November bring? For sure the Election super storms.

    RESTRUCTURING THE BRAIN

    So, what are we experiencing exactly? Well, merely Human Evolution while being alive in a body! Humanity is in an anomaly of ‘never-been-done before’. Huge physical upgrades continue with the entire brain being rewired and restructured. Old structures are dissolved and new ones established. New synapses are built and the amygdala (where fear and ego patterns were processed and played out based on mistrust) is reprogrammed and upgraded to become a processor of unconditional Love and Light – Higher Dimensional energies. The amygdala could be seen as the center of motivation and now we are switching completely from extrinsic motivation to intrinsic motivation coming purely from our Essence. And as we sit in the calm center of the storm, all fear and ego programming is being dissolved through our use of pure honesty.

    Another symptom could be called ‘brain-fry’ when we are so overwhelmed we can’t think straight and seem to just shut down. Processor is trying to read new software while still being hooked up to the hardware. As the electromagnetic pulses are too strong for the old structure, we feel a sort of energetic paralysis. In these moments, it’s time for a self-intervention; take some space to rest and renew. Do all Your Self-nurturing things.

    Also, during this major rewiring process, many people have noted for some time their mind replaying past experiences and old scenes, but in random order and with no apparent logic. Welcome to a time on the Planet of the Life Review. This is the same function of the consciousness holographic memory projection of our life-stream that we view in between incarnation cycles. More and more ascending waves of Humans are being spiritually initiated into the Unity Platform Timeline while simultaneously being extracted from the 3D Mind Control architecture.

    Participating consciously with this Life Review during this cycle while in a body is a positive and massive step forward in accelerating consciousness. Facing memories and reaching a conclusion of their events by fully letting them go in unconditional love and forgiveness of Self and others will slide Your Lightbody into the new supportive platform of the Unity Field. During this review, stay awake, as it may mirror a ‘dark night of the soul’ process so as to be present for the feeling of the returning ‘flight to freedom’ in a moment of bliss! Even the good memories, while enjoyed, may be set free as we mentally cut the karmic cords to these persons and let ourselves fly!

    I’ll add that many have been feeling bouts of extreme loneliness – of an especially difficult kind – as if You are the only one feeling this way – totally alone in an isolated, disorienting emotional struggle. This is the dilemma of the Awakening mind, so keep breathing and let it go! It’s a time of great and sudden changes. Original premise we began our quest with here over 3-1/2 years ago still applies – Heal, Release and Shift!

    THE SHIFT

    What is it? When integration of Earth and Humanity’s destiny strikes its hour on the clock when all the changes are complete for Ascension into the Fifth Dimension. All of the small shifts we’ve been experiencing for years now will culminate in this huge Quantum Jump! I say, let’s keep our seatbelts fastened tight because the red light’s blinking on the console of our vessel Spaceship Earth, sailing through the Galaxy to carry us safely to our future heritage! Everything we’re experiencing is leading to The Shift after these longtime Awakening Ascension times are completed. Cosmic Justice is bringing balance to consequences of the actions of each and every Being, Human or Non-Human. For those fully integrating the immensity of these Cosmic Light Codes being released for each based upon “current vibrational placement”, much Higher Timelines are becoming available. Portals are opening through You as You clear out old outdated programming on a cellular field level and anchor more Light holding Your highest consciousness.

    As you step into the Power of Love and break the cycles of Your old ways, it reverses everything, which activates Your geometrics/equasional field to take new form/shape. Activating Your own field to transmit out across all Dimensions, Timelines or Existences is how You collapse separation into this Zero Point Space and Unify All back into Love. This Unification activates All realities that support You (aligned with Your higher versions or aspects of You) to come forth to greet and meet Higher-Self You, now that You are open to it. This Now space is where it All converges as it’s where All arrives and comes to Be.

    A TREMENDOUS LEAP FORWARD

    To sum up, as the many Timelines are collapsing and converging together, Humanity has made tremendous leaps forward in 2018. These quantum leaps will lead to the great Quantum Jump! Now we’re utilizing the energy we’re able to download and making strides forward as individuals and as a Collective whole. We’re realizing we are here to create something brand new that’s never been experienced before by integrating these high frequency energies bombarding us from all angles! We can do less and accomplish more. We can allow things to come to us. We can relax and receive, letting go of trying and struggle, a part of this Human experience for so long. We can sleep easy dreaming Now of the future again in a 5D Twelve Visions World.

    And then awaking to see we’ve Now become that which we’ve been seeking to become. When we exit the 3D-4D Plane of Duality, there’s no longer a right or wrong way of doing and being. It All just Is. We’re acknowledging ourselves more as the creators of this entire experience. We’re looking within more for the Power that we once just gave away. We’re meditating to see ourselves as empowered by these energies that we ourselves have summoned. We are each exactly where we are supposed to be at this time as the Universe itself supports and enlightens us, so with each step to Power realizations and ten second miracles abound. And for Humanity, Individually and Collectively, that is a tremendous leap forward!

    The more we live in the state we desire, the more the Universe brings more of its kind to reflect our chosen State of Being. Be ever in the Now – In the know. This is working with the Divine within our sacred heart center to achieve balance. So, take a moment. Pull up on Your mind’s-eye screen a lovely place you picture in the Civilization of the Universe and firmly put Your-Self right in the middle of it. Clearly visualize it as You turn slowly in a complete circle taking in details from Your own eyes and viewpoint. As You hold that place and space in Your mind and heart, You will help bring it into being. So, visit often.

    Where we are Now reminds me of a saying from my past I’ll paraphrase. “When you’ve reached the end of the trail and all the Light that you can see … and you are standing at the edge of a cliff … Make sure when You take that giant step out into the darkness … that You have total belief that there will be something there to catch you … or You will learn to fly!” And that’s Us, Guys!

    Thanks Digger, Charlie, Mark and all of You for being here! Please tuck a nugget or two in with You in your Merkaba ship as You zip away home tonight and just leave what doesn’t resonate. And know amidst the appearance of chaos surrounding us that All Is Well and All Will Be Well. Goodnight my Zon Neofriends and safe journeys as You radiate Your Living Light of The World everywhere You go and bring about change!

    *Final Note: Thank you everyone for your feedback and the incredible integrations coming forward in response last night … I’m so glad this ignited some thoughts and stirred up some energies in this arena of our coming future! I appreciate you all very much. Onward and Upward we go! jc

95. Friday Oct. 26. Hi .
    Today I thought I would try something a little different. The subject of this weeks integration is about a secret. The information regarding this piece is not from the Neo-think literature, yet is about a bit of terminology we use in many of the meetings. It is from a book called the secret by Rhonda Byrne., These searches start somedays when all I want to do is get in my car and drive, anywhere! so instead I look for inspiration any where I can find it.
    Rhonda searched the world over to find people who know the secret. That secret is THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. obviously I cant print the book on here, so will attempt to leave some meaningful excerpts . Some people who knew and used the secret were among the greatest people in history and included Plato, Shakespeare, Newton, Hugo, Beethoven, Lincoln and Einstein. There isn’t a single thing you can not do with this knowledge, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you are, it can give you what you want. One such believer is Bob Proctor , and he explains it this way. “We all work with one infinite power, we all guide ourselves by exactly the same laws. The natural laws of the Universe are so precise that we don’t even have any difficulty building spaceships . We can send people too the moon, and we can time the landing with the precision of a fraction of a second. Wise people have always known this secret. You can go back to the ancient Babylonians , they’ve always known this, It’s a small select group of people. Why do you think that 1% of the population earns around 96% of all the money that’s being earned? Do you think that was an accident? It’s designed that way. They understand something that we don’t. They understand the secret. See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it. It works every time, with every person. The Law of attraction is always working, whether you believe it or not. If you don’t understand the law, that doesn’t mean you should reject it. You may not understand electricity , and yet you enjoy the benefits of it. I don’t know how it works, but I know this , you can cook a man’s dinner with it, or you can cook the man. The law of attraction says like attracts like, so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you.
    Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As think thoughts, they are sent into the Universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency, Everything sent out returns to the source—YOU.
    You are like a human transmission tower, transmitting a frequency with your thoughts. If you want to change anything in your life, change the frequency by changing your thoughts….Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear in your life…….Your thoughts become things. When you’re feeling down , did you know that you change it in an instant? Put on a beautiful piece of music, or start singing–that’ll change your emotion. Or think of something beautiful. Think of a baby or somebody you truly love, and dwell on it. Really keep that thought in your mind. Block everything else but that thought , I guarantee you’ll start to feel good. Life can be absolutely phenomenal, and it should be, and it will be when start using the secret. The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial as the law of gravity. Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts. To know what you’re thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling. Emotions are valuable tools that instantly tell us what we are thinking. It is impossible to fell bad and at the same time have good thoughts. Your thoughts determine your frequency , and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things, When you good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you. Secret shifters, such as pleasant memories, nature, or your favorite music, can change your feelings in an instant. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing. What do you really want? Sit down and write it out on a piece of paper. Write it in the present tense. You might begin by writing, ” I am so happy and grateful now that…”. And then explain how you want your life to be, in every area. If you do just a little research, it is going to become self evident to you that anyone that has ever accomplished anything, did not know they were going to do it, they only knew they were going to do it. When you turn fantasy into a fact, your in a position to build bigger and bigger fantasies. and that is the Creative Process. You will attract everything that you require. If it’s money you need you will attract it. If it’s people you need, you will attract it. If it’s a certain book you need you’ll attract it. You’ve got to pay attention to what your attracted to, because as you hold images of what you want ,you’re going to be attracted to things and they are going to be attracted to you. But it literally moves into physical reality with and through you. And it does that by law. ” Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step”….Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-`1968) ….,…….Hold an image of talking to an old friend that you haven’t seen in a long time. Somehow or another somebody’s going to start talking to you about that person. That person’s going to phone you or you’ll get a letter from them. Like ALADDIN”S GENIE, the law of attraction grants our every command. The Creative Process helps you create what you want in three simple steps: Ask , believe and receive. Asking the Universe for what you want is your opportunity to get clear about what you want, As you get clear in your mind, you have asked. Believing involves acting , speaking and thinking as though you have already received what you asked for. When you emit the frequency of having received it, the law of attraction moves people, events , and circumstances for you to receive. Receiving involves feeling the way you will feel once your desire has manifested. Feeling good now puts you on the frequency of what you want. To lose weight, don’t focus on “loosing weight” Instead focus on your perfect weight. Feel the feelings of your weight, and you will summon it to you. It takes no time for the Universe to manifest what you want. It’s as easy to manifest one dollar as it is to manifest one million dollars… Starting with something small, like a cup of coffee or parking spaces, is an easy way to experience the law of attraction in action. Powerfully intend to attract something small. As you experience the power you have to attract , you will move on to creating much bigger things. Create your day in advance by thinking the way you want it to go, and you will create your life intentionally……..”All that we are is a result of what we have thought.” Buddha .(563 BCE-483 BCE)….. Expectation is a powerful attractive force. Expect the things you want, and don’t expect the things you don’t want. Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bringing more of what you want into your life. Be grateful for what you already have, and you will attract more good things. Giving thanks for what you want in advance turbo-charges your desires and sends a more powerful signal into the Universe. Visualization is the process of creating pictures in your mind of yourself enjoying what you want. When you visualize you generate powerful thoughts and feelings of having it now. The power of attraction then returns reality to you, just as you saw it in your mind. To use the law of attraction to your advantage, make it a habitual may of being , not just a one time event. At the end of every day, before you go to sleep, go back through the events of the day. Any events or moments that were not what you wanted, replay them in your mind the way you wanted them to go……..What ever the mind… can conceive it can achieve .” W. Clement Stone…(1902-2002). Most people have a goal of getting out of debt. That will keep you in debt forever. Whatever you’re thinking about, you will attract. You say “But it’s get out of debt. ” I don’t care if its get out or get in, if your thinking about debt, your attracting debt. Set up an automatic debt repayment program and then start to focus on prosperity. To attract money, focus on wealth. It’s impossible to bring more money into your life when you focus on the lack of it. It is helpful to use your imagination and make-believe you already have the money you want. Play games of having wealth and you will feel better about money; as you feel better about it, more will flow into your life. Feeling happy now is the fastest way to bring money into your life. Make it your intention to look at everything you like and say to yourself. “I can afford that. I can buy that. “You will shift your thinking and begin to feel better about money. (digger’s not gonna like this next suggestion re: Altruism) Give money in order to bring more into your life . When your generous with money and feel good about sharing it, you are saying “I have plenty”. Visualize checks in the mail. Tip the balance of your thoughts to wealth. THINK wealth. Self Love. There’s something so magnificent about you. I have been studying me for 80 years . I wanna kiss myself sometimes! Because you are going to get to love yourself. I’m talking about conceit , I am talking about a healthy respect for yourself. As you love yourself, you will love others. When you want to attract a relationship, make sure your thoughts, words, actions and surroundings don’t contradict your desires. Your job is you. Unless you fill yourself up first, you have nothing to give anybody. Treat yourself with love and respect , and you will attract people who show you love and respect. When you feel bad about yourself, you block the love and instead you attract more people and situations that will continue to make you feel bad about you. Focus on the qualities you love about yourself and the law of attraction will show you more great things about you.. To make a relationship work , focus on what you appreciate about the other person, and not your complaints. When you focus on the strengths, you will get more of them. Focus on Health: Disease cannot live in a body that’s in a healthy emotional state. Your body is casting off millions of cells every second, and it’s also creating millions of new ones at the same time. If you have a disease , and your focusing on it, and you’re talking to people about it, your going to create more diseased cells. See yourself living in a perfectly healthy body, let the doctor look after the disease. The placebo effect is an example of the law of attraction in action. When a patient truly believes the tablet is the cure, he receives what he believes and is cured. “Focusing on perfect health” is something we can all do within ourselves, despite what may be happening on the outside. LAUGHTER attracts joy, releases negativity , and leads to miraculous cures. Disease is held in the body by observation of the illness, and by the attention given to the illness. If your feeling a little unwell, don’t talk about it –unless you want more of it. If you listen to people talk about their illness, you add energy to their illness, Instead , change the conversation to good things, and give powerful thoughts to seeing those people in good health. Beliefs about aging are all in our minds, so release those thoughts from your consciousness, focus on health and eternal youth. Do not listen to society’s messages about diseases and aging. Negative messages do not serve you. About the world: What you resist , you attract, because you are powerfully focused on it with emotion. To change anything, go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings. You cannot help the world by focusing on the world’s negative things. As you focus on the world’s negative events, you not only add to them, but you also bring more negative things into your own life. Instead of focusing on the worlds problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education and peace. We will never run out of good things because there’s more than enough to go around for everyone. LIFE IS MEAN’T TO BE ABUNDANT. You have the ability to tap into the unlimited supply through your thoughts and feelings and bring it into your experience. Dissolve negativity and discord and align yourself with the highest frequency—–LOVE…. The secret to you. Think of this for a moment. Look at your hand. It looks solid, but it’s really not. If you put it under a microscope, you’d see a mass of ENERGY vibrating. No matter what city you live in, you’ve got enough power in your body, potential power , to illuminate the whole city for nearly a week. On “I ness”? “The absolute truth is that the “I” is perfect and complete: the real “I” is spiritual and can therefore never be less than perfect: it can never have any lack, limitation, or disease.” Charles Haanel: (A few last secrets and I will finish this off) Everything is energy. YOU are an energy magnet, so you electrically energize everything to you and electrically energize yourself to everything you want. YOU are a spiritual being. You are energy and energy cannot be created or destroyed —It just changes form. There fore , the pure essence of you has always been and always will be. The Universe emerges from thought. We are the creators not only of our own destiny but also of the Universe. An unlimited supply of ideas is available to you. ALL knowledge, discoveries, and inventions are in the Universal Mind as possibilities , waiting for the human mind to draw them forth. YOU hold everything in your consciousness. We are ALL connected , and we are ALL One. Let go of difficulties from your past, cultural codes, and social beliefs. YOU are the only one who can create the life you deserve. A shortcut to manifesting your desires is to see what you want as absolute fact. Your power is your thoughts, so stay aware. In other words “Remember to remember”. Enjoy life, because life is phenomenal ! It’s one magnificent trip!! YOU get to fill the blackboard of your life with whatever you want. The only thing you need to do is feel good now. The more you use the power within you, the more power you will draw through you………The time to embrace your magnificence is now,……We are in the midst of a glorious era. As we let go of limiting thoughts , we will experience humanity’s true magnificence in every area of creation……….DO WHAT YOU LOVE. If you don’t know what brings you joy, ask ‘What is my joy?” As you commit to your joy, you will attract an avalanche of joyful things because you are radiating joy. ( That’s pretty much one persons opinion so thank you Mr. Proctor. There is a lot of Neothink in there. Thanks for reading. ‘

96. While scanning Face Book , I found an item of interest involving a group of mostly retired people residing in Salt Lake City who met daily to have coffee and to just enjoy each others company. After awhile they knew each other so well they had ran out of things to talk about, so the restaurant owner , as a joke, sat up a table and chairs at a nearby flea market with a banner that read. “Free Advice”, explaining that the advice may be wrong, but it didn’t cost anything. ” As it turns out, people started coming by and asking for useful and legitimate help. and the joke was on the restaurant owner and the older folks who thought anyone would ever take them seriously. There is an old saying “When an old person dies, a library burns down”…….. We need young blood in our society with fresh new and bold ideas, but the sight of a 2800 page book frightens them. As for not having the money to purchase the literature, some one obviously had the money to pay for those expensive I-pads etc. New technology is wonderful but everything gets lost in the translation. It has changed peoples attention span to only accept what is now immediate and instant gratification. Perhaps if Miss Annabelle was a movie , but then a film would not capture the true essence and the little nuggets of valuable info would go unnoticed.

97. 10/18/18. Good Morning. As we delve into the The Prime Cure and the seven treatments, I was once again reminded by Mark of another genius who was taken way too soon. He was referring to Steve Jobs in that Stanford commencement speech where he said “Stay hungry- stay foolish.” and ” Put a dent in the Universe”. Mark Hamilton went on to say that searchers and rebel combinations are truly rare, with the ability to follow your heart, and not too many people have that potential. Could that be the reason the now not so secret “face to the world ” society is not growing as we would like it to do? YES!! Mark, In spite of a string of set backs in recent times, I STILL believe in my child of the past, that there’s something more, something more in life I have yet to find, and I am still hungry , yes, and I am still foolish!!! I am prepared to take the journey for as long as it allows me. Recently I watched a speaker who said for seven years they had studied a group of older people, and it was not diet, exercise, and living conditions, not that they aren’t important, but the number one factor to living longer was being socially active with others. In other words, Love , that’s what has to do with it.

98. Yay Free Market Capitalism!!!!!
    “Alien” signals from deep space”?? Mysterious signals from deep space have doubled in record – breaking discovery. Scientists just found a whopping nineteen (19) mysterious “alien” signals from deep space. Called Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) They’re milliseconds long signals of radio emissions. FRBs originate from beyond our galaxy, but exactly what causes them is unclear.
    The Australian researchers findings doubled the number of known FBRs. The recent bursts are some of closest and brightest we’ve ever found. They also proved FRBs are from the other side of the Universe. There enigma’s could be exploding black holes, neutron stars , or maybe even aliens. A Swineburne University of Technology team published their study in the journal Nature. Aliens? Fact or fiction? Why not, I am beyond being surprised anymore. Just hope they are friendly and open to love. The trip with the Trinity started with a message from a radio beam sent by Beorapparaus Rasaraus..

99. A Neo-think related subject re: Health and Wellness
    This story relates to how our government protects and manipulates Big Pharma. We are aware that Big Pharma is only a tool for the powers that be, mainly the elite. This month’s AARP (Nov.) Bulletin Investigation report. I am only reporting what the article said, you can draw your own conclusions. They tell us that flu deaths, fatalities have jumped six fold over two years, and the current vaccines are ineffective at blocking an evolving virus. These figures were issued by the CDC spokeswoman Kristen Nordlund —–I am picking out bits and pieces since this is such a long article. ( my thought) Are the shots worth it?) Flu accounts for about 5 percent of deaths among older people, and nearly eighty percent who died was over the age of sixty-five. They estimate that sixty-nine percent got a flu shot, compared to forty-six percent of people age fifty to sixty-four. (Here comes the sticky part for me) Senator Edward Markey call federal spending “simply not enough” , and proposed $1 Billion a year over the Five to seven years for ‘RESEARCH’. In March, congress allocated $100 Million for 2018-19. He went on to say “We are far far short of what’s necessary to do the basic research to understand how to develop a universal or game-changing vaccine. One of the researchers for a new vaccine is Kaiser Permante. The article goes on to say that in it’s best years the current vaccines were about sixty(60) percent effective , and in there worst years only ten(10) percent effective. Last year, CDC and Rice University indicated it was only about thirty-six(36) percent effective. They say the short comings occur because the flu virus has many forms or strains unlike measles which doesn’t change, They are now pushing a high dose for people sixty-five and older call “Fluzone -High dose, that has been more effective according to the CDC, however there is little data on it, yet they urging everyone who is six months old to get an annual flu shot because while we have an imperfect vaccine.it still ends up preventing significant amounts of illnesses. (End of Article. My notes: Can you imagine as an individual entrepreneur , selling a product or service that is only go to work thirty-six percent of the time? I never even touched on what we are being told as to the contents and ingredients in these vaccines. Thanks for reading, Thank You Mark for this space to express my humble opinions and views.

100. 10/14/18 Our next revolution — God Man— Zon
     So am I to understand that according to Dr. Wallace even meditation and even today’s practice of the current fads such as the cannabis and non prescription drugs are to be considered forms of mysticisms? With restrictions and restraints such as these, is it possible for man to ever be completely mysticism free? All political systems represent a regression into mysticism from conscious man back to bicameral man, I get that one, thus our need for the Twelve Visions Party. Is poetry also a step back to bicameral man? Plato quoted ” Poetry is a divine madness.” The path to becoming God-man (Zon) is not an easy one. Can we become Zons until our body is completely free of all diseases and defects? Some members of this society have elevated themselves from a third dimensional gutter to a higher state , but just listening to the comments on the nightly programs, I think we have a few unfinished steps to go. I am not trying to put any body down or belittle them . Just sayin, These are strictly my thoughts and welcome any comments.

101. A country boy’s perspective of Psychuous Sex.
     First off, If two people had conceived this to be bad, I wouldn’t be here to write this, and you wouldn’t be here to read it……… Dr. Wallace describes “psychuous” as the Neo-tech integration of the mind, body and emotions with factual reality to yield honest prosperity and guiltless happiness…….. Doesn’t sound too dirty at this point.
     Psychuous sex is a relatively new word that refers to any human activity that combines and integrates the rational mind with the emotional self and physical body…. This is a secret? Maybe John Gray was right when he wrote “Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. .( Actually there may be a whole lot more truth to that ) I was thinking back about when we were indoctrinated into church teachings . Everything was a sin. We were brainwashed to believe even the word sex was morally wrong. Maybe some of you readers got the birds and the bees speech, I never even got that. Out here in rural America where I came from, If a girl got pregnant, she had decided to go visit Aunt Maude in a different state, and a few of our male class mates, were off to Wentworth Military Academy to receive a better education. Tell you how dumb I was, I believed them. Well, maybe I should have said naïve. For hundreds of years, even the word was taboo, and it has only been in recent years that high school girls were allowed to bring the baby issue to light. A lot of older society members are from that generation where the brainwashing process was to “Keep them in the dark and feed them Bulls–t. which is to say that parents especially wanted to avoid confrontation and kept us ignorant. Those people who are still so closed minded that they want to return the book are the same ones who will never be Zons because they cant shed the mysticisms to complete the transition. That’s my take on the subject. I love the book. Love to all. Thanks Mark for this space.

102. YOUR GUT IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO YOUR BRAIN
     BY A NEWLY DISCOVERED NEURON CIRCUIT

     HASAN JASIM
     October 8, 2018

     The human gut is lined with more than 100 million nerve cells—it’s practically a brain unto itself. And indeed, the gut actually talks to the brain, releasing hormones into the bloodstream that, over the course of about 10 minutes, tell us how hungry it is, or that we shouldn’t have eaten an entire pizza. But a new study reveals the gut has a much more direct connection to the brain through a neural circuit that allows it to transmit signals in mere seconds. The findings could lead to new treatments for obesity, eating disorders, and even depression and autism—all of which have been linked to a malfunctioning gut.

     The study reveals “a new set of pathways that use gut cells to rapidly communicate with … the brain stem,” says Daniel Drucker, a clinician-scientist who studies gut disorders at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Toronto, Canada, who was not involved with the work. Although many questions remain before the clinical implications become clear, he says, “This is a cool new piece of the puzzle.”

     In 2010, neuroscientist Diego Bohórquez of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, made a startling discovery while looking through his electron microscope. Enteroendocrine cells, which stud the lining of the gut and produce hormones that spur digestion and suppress hunger, had footlike protrusions that resemble the synapses neurons use to communicate with each other. Bohórquez knew the enteroendocrine cells could send hormonal messages to the central nervous system, but he also wondered whether they could “talk” to the brain using electrical signals, the way that neurons do. If so, they would have to send the signals through the vagus nerve, which travels from the gut to the brain stem.

     He and colleagues injected a fluorescent rabies virus, which is transmitted through neuronal synapses, into the colons of mice and waited for the enteroendocrine cells and their partners to light up. Those partners turned out to be to vagal neurons, the researchers report today in Science.

     In a petri dish, enteroendocrine cells reached out to vagal neurons and formed synaptic connections with each other. The cells even gushed out glutamate, a neurotransmitter involved in smell and taste, which the vagal neurons picked up on within 100 milliseconds—faster than an eyeblink.

     “That’s much faster than hormones can travel from the gut to the brain through the bloodstream”, Bohórquez says. “Hormones’ sluggishness may be responsible for the failures of many appetite suppressants that target them, he says. The next step is to study whether this gut-brain signaling provides the brain with important information about the nutrients and caloric value of the food we eat”, he says.

     There are some obvious advantages to superfast gut-brain signaling, such as detecting toxins and poison, but there may be other perks to sensing the contents of our guts in real time, he says. Whatever those are, there’s a good chance the benefits are ancient—gut sensory cells date back to one of the first multi-cellular organisms, a flat creature called Trichoplax adhaerens, which arose roughly 600 million years ago.

     Additional clues about how gut sensory cells benefit us today lie in a separate study, published today in Cell. Researchers used lasers to stimulate the sensory neurons that innervate the gut in mice, which produced rewarding sensations the rodents worked hard to repeat. The laser stimulation also increased levels of a mood-boosting neurotransmitter called dopamine in the rodents’ brains, the researchers found.

     Combined, the two papers help explain why stimulating the vagus nerve with electrical current can treat severe depression in people, says Ivan de Araujo, a neuroscientist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, who led the Cell study. The results may also explain why, on a basic level, eating makes us feel good. “Even though these neurons are outside the brain, they perfectly fit the definition of reward neurons that drive motivation and increase pleasure”, he says.

105. 10/8/18: Never one to leave well enough alone, I decided to wing it tonight. Today, as far as Mini day is concerned , I totally fell off the wagon. My bad! During a super short conversation with Digger Fagan back on August 8th, I decided to take his sage advice and do something (ANYTHING ?) with some creative value, and decided to attempt writing a book. I never said it was going to be a great book. The first day of snowfall must have started my creative juices flowing and I wrote for almost 8 hours today. Something I barely heard on my TV, like a glancing blow, stirred my Ire, and the patriotic part of me came to attention. It was some snide remark about how we Americans pray for our friends and then nuke them to death. I know in our readings by Dr. Wallace, there were some Presidents he had remarked about but can’t remember if Reagan was one of them, but I ran across his speech titled “The Price of Freedom” and it made me feel better. The speech from the 80’s went like this.
     “If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, and prospered as no other people on Earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy AND INDIVIDUAL GENIUS of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the INDIVIDUAL have been more available and assured here than any other place on Earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay that price. Those who say that we are in a time when there are no heroes, they just don’t know where to look.”……….. That seems to be where almost all the papers like to finish it, but it’s not the end of the speech, so look it up if you want and read it. It’s very heart felt and emotional reading. Another one of his quotes struck a chord also. “In this present crisis , government is NOT the solution to the problem, government IS the problem.”

106. HOW THE GUY WHO INVENTED THE INTERNET PLANS
     TO TAKE BACK THE WEB FOR ALL OF US
     OCTOBER 2, 2018

     ActivistPost
     By Daisy Luther

     It’s not news to anyone who has read this website and others in the same niche for very long that the internet is a place of bias, manipulation, and prejudice. Website owners and outspoken people who go against the status quo are swiftly “punished” by the powers that be, effectively making it so that only one opinion can be heard.

     But one man has a plan to take back the web.

     And it isn’t just some yahoo with a go-fund-me account. This guy has street cred like no one else.

     He’s Tim Berners-Lee, also known as “the Father of the World Wide Web.” (Sorry, Al Gore.)

     In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, an Internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as web technology spread.

     He is Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a Web standards organization founded in 1994 that develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential. He is a founding Director of the Web Science Trust (WST) launched in 2009 to promote research and education in Web Science, the multidisciplinary study of humanity connected by technology. Berners-Lee is also a Director of the World Wide Web Foundation, launched in 2009 to coordinate efforts to further the potential of the Web to benefit humanity.

     The Internet we have is not the Internet he intended when he created it.

     THINGS TURNED OUT DIFFERENTLY THAN BERNERS-LEE INTENDED.

     Back when he released the source code for free, his goal was to make the Web an open, democratic platform that anyone could use and speak freely.

     Berners-Lee, who never directly profited off his invention, has also spent most of his life trying to guard it. While Silicon Valley started ride-share apps and social-media networks without profoundly considering the consequences, Berners-Lee has spent the past three decades thinking about little else. From the beginning, in fact, Berners-Lee understood how the epic power of the Web would radically transform governments, businesses, societies. He also envisioned that his invention could, in the wrong hands, become a destroyer of worlds, as Robert Oppenheimer once infamously observed of his own creation…

     …For the man who set all this in motion, the mushroom cloud was unfolding before his very eyes. “I was devastated,” Berners-Lee told me that morning in Washington, blocks from the White House. For a brief moment, as he recalled his reaction to the Web’s recent abuses, Berners-Lee quieted; he was virtually sorrowful. “Actually, physically—my mind and body were in a different state.” Then he went on to recount, at a staccato pace, and in elliptical passages, the pain in watching his creation so distorted.

     As anyone who has been paying attention, avid users of Berners-Lee’s creation have bastardized it. They’ve profited from it, squelched free speech on it, stolen our private information on it, destroyed lives using it, and even carried out horrible psychological experiments on unwitting users.

     But Berners-Lee isn’t going to take it lying down.

     BERNERS-LEE IS GOING TO TAKE BACK THE INTERNET.

     If anyone else said, “I’m going to create a new, free internet!” people would just roll their eyes. But when Tim Berners-Lee says it, Google and Facebook had better pay attention. If anyone can do it, he can.

     He recently wrote a piece on Medium to let people know that he is hard at work creating an alternative.

     I’ve always believed the web is for everyone. That’s why I and others fight fiercely to protect it. The changes we’ve managed to bring have created a better and more connected world. But for all the good we’ve achieved, the web has evolved into an engine of inequity and division; swayed by powerful forces who use it for their own agendas.

     Today, I believe we’ve reached a critical tipping point, and that powerful change for the better is possible — and necessary.

     This is why I have, over recent years, been working with a few people at MIT and elsewhere to develop Solid, an open-source project to restore the power and agency of individuals on the web.

     Solid changes the current model where users have to hand over personal data to digital giants in exchange for perceived value. As we’ve all discovered, this hasn’t been in our best interests. Solid is how we evolve the web in order to restore balance — by giving every one of us complete control over data, personal or not, in a revolutionary way.

     You can go here to check out Berners-Lee’s new invention (link in article).

     HOW HE IS BUILDING A NEW INTERNET

     Right now, Inrupt and Solid are in their infancy. But on an Internet determined to siphon our data and sell it to the highest bidder under the guise of “convenience,” these are ideas which are past due. Berners-Lee’s new invention could stop the creep of spying and manipulation (that seem to me to be leading us toward a social credit system like the one in China).

     Meanwhile though, there is a wave of concern, and related energy, desperate for change. People want to have a web they can trust. People want apps that help them do what they want and need to do — without spying on them. Apps that don’t have an ulterior motive of distracting them with propositions to buy this or that. He has taken a sabbatical from MIT and reduced his responsibilities in other groups he founded to make this happen. He founded a platform called Inrupt.

     It’s time to reset the balance of power on the web and reignite its true potential.

     When Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the web, it was intended for everyone. The excitement and creativity of its early days were driven from the notion that we can all participate – and the impact was world-changing.
     But the web has shifted from its original promise – and it’s time to make a change.

     We can still unlock the true promise of the web by decentralizing the power that’s currently centralized in the hands of a few.

     It’s not a stretch of the imagination to think that Berners-Lee will have some mighty adversaries in making this happen. There are huge companies with a lot to lose. And by a lot, I mean billions of dollars.

     ZeroHedge wrote:

     “His plans could impact billion-dollar business models that profit off of control over data. It’s not likely that the big powers of the web will give up control without a fight.”

     When this major potential disruptor was noted, Berners-Lee shot back: “We are not talking to Facebook and Google about whether or not to introduce a complete change where all their business models are completely upended overnight. We are not asking their permission.”

     Let’s hope that Berners-Lee is well protected. I have a feeling he’s going to need it.

     INRUPT COULD LITERALLY SAVE THE WORLD.

     The Internet as we know it is taking us no place good. But maybe a visionary like Tim Berners-Lee could change all that. The technology that allows us to look up information anywhere we are from a device we hold in the palms of our hands is not going away.

     But maybe it can be fixed.

     Inrupt will be the infrastructure allowing Solid to flourish. Its mission is to provide commercial energy and an ecosystem to help protect the integrity and quality of the new web built on Solid.

     There are many examples of open-source efforts that have benefited hugely from the contribution of a well-resourced company. While the open-source community provides initiative and a deep source of innovation, everyday web users, as well as businesses, often look for applications and services from a commercial entity that also provides technical support and vital, ancillary business services.

     I believe this same model will be critical to the success of Solid. Inrupt’s success is totally aligned to Solid’s success. My partner and inrupt co-founder is John Bruce, an experienced business leader with the skills to execute on my vision for Solid. We share the same passion for creating a better and more balanced web.

     Together, Solid and inrupt will provide new experiences benefitting every web user — and that are impossible on the web today. Where individuals, developers and businesses create and find innovative, life- and business-enriching, applications and services. Where we all find trusted services for storing, securing and managing personal data.

     I’m incredibly optimistic for this next era of the web.

     Could Tim Berners-Lee save the world with Inrupt and Solid?

     Everyone’s been looking for a hero to change the Internet. It just might be him. END.

     I found this to be very interesting and exciting to ponder. A puzzle piece to fit into the picture of the new ways things will be in the coming Civilization of the Universe … Truth and justice the original American way vision? Change is in the air!

107. Hey Guys!! Monday, October 8th. Just went back for a ways and re-read some of the posts. Thanks, Wayne, for that heart-wrenching description about facing down death several times in the past few years … amazing tale to tell, no doubt! We’re all so glad you are still very much with us, Cowboy, and writing up a storm. Also, Forest’s mini-treatise about standing up to the churchmen with the letter … I recall him speaking about that before. We’re all still in the renegade rebel rouser status, I guess. Glad to be a part of this ongoing information stream. Just been able to post interesting bits and pieces of information due to time constraints, but hope to continue keepin’ on keepin’ on!! One at a time. Thanks to Mark Hamilton and Dr. Frank Wallace for Neothink and Neo-Tech.

     Love from Austin, Texas this fine rainy day! Judith

108. 10/6/18. WAKE UP SMARTER WITH BETTER BRAIN POWER.
     We have “white noise”, but there is also pink, blue, red, brown, gray, black. ” Pink noise” will improve older adult’s deep , slow-wave sleep, and the one considered important for consolidating memories and making us ‘wake up’ smarter”. Pink noise is like white noise, but comes louder and more powerful at low frequencies. It’s the steady rainfall, leaves rustling in the trees, rushing waterfall , night noises and ocean waves. All soothing and consistent and peaceful noises which helps people who are struggling to fall asleep, masks and perhaps blocks out sudden changes in noises that disturb sleepers such as snoring, dogs barking or leaky sinks dripping which gives us restless nights. Pink noise helps change these sleeping problems and we get a bonus with better brain power the next day!
     It shows improvement and more refreshing restful longer duration of deep sleep. Test results were able to recall almost twice as many word pairs shown to them the previous night versus no noise according to two studies in 2017 “Frontiers in Human Neuroscience and 2016 Sleep Medicine. It slows down brain waves and helps regulate them, giving that longer steady deep sleep. Our brain continues to process sensory stimuli when were asleep. It’s thought that pink noise sounds are “in sync” with our brain waves and helps with concentration and other activity when were awake. Pretty cool, right? Who doesn’t want better brain power and concentration? remember, LOVE is all around us. Some days it’s not easy to find but it’s out there. Thanks Mark for this space.

109. To start with, I am all for the cure for aging and biological immortality. Whether we admit or not, when you approaching the 90’s , it is something that must cross your mind from time to time. I got this off Face-book, it’s pretty lengthy for me, and I would sincerely like to do it on the Golden Seekers program with Kay Samalin sometime. It is entitled “BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE”. Hope you enjoy.
     ” It’s not death most people are afraid of, It’s getting to the end of life only to realize that they never truly lived.
     There was a study done , a hospital study on a hundred elderly people , facing death to their last breath, they were asked to reflect about their life’s biggest regret. Nearly all of them said they regretted not the things they did, but the things they didn’t do. The risks they never took, the dreams they didn’t do. I ASK YOU….Would your last words be, IF ONLY I Had —-Hey—Wake up! Why do you exist? … Life is not meant to simply work, wait for the week-end and pay bills. NO–NO!! I don’t know much, but I know this, Every person on this Earth has a gift, and I apologize to the community , but I can no longer pretend Martin Luther King . that man never had a dream, that dream HAD him. See people don’t choose dreams, dreams choose THEM! So, the question I am coming to is do you have the courage to grab the dream that grabbed you? , That befits you and grips you, or will you let it get away and slip through? …. You know, I learned a fact about airplanes the other day. This was so surprising. See, I was talking to a pilot and he told me that many of his passengers think planes are dangerous to fly in, but he said “actually , It is a lot more dangerous for that plane to stay on the ground.” I said, “what”! How does that sound? ‘ ” because on the ground the plane starts to wear, rust and malfunction much faster than it ever would if it was in the air. As I walked away, I thought yeah, that makes sense, because planes were built to live in the skies, and every person was built to live out the dream they have inside. So, it is perhaps the saddest loss to live a life on the ground , without ever taking off. See, Most of us are afraid of the thief that comes in the night to steal all our things………… HIS NAME IS ‘DOUBT !!. IF you see him call the cops and keep away from the kids, cause he’s wanted for murder, for he has killed more dreams than failure ever did…. he wears many disguises and like a virus will leave you blinded, divided and turn you into a “KINDA” . See kinda is lethal. You know what “kinda” is? There’s a lot of “kinda” people. You kinda want a career change, …You kinda want to get straight A’s , You kinda want to get in shape. Simple math, no numbers to crunch…….If you kinda want something … then you will kinda get the results you want. ……….What is YOUR dream? What ignites that spark? You cant “KINDA” want that, you got to want it with every part of your whole heart. Will you struggle? no way around it, you will fall many times , but who’s counting? Just remember there is no such thing as a SMOOTH mountain , If you want to make it to the top then there are sharp ridges that must be stepped over.. There will be times you will get stressed and things you get depressed over, but let me tell you something,, STEVEN SPIELBERG was rejected from film school (3) Three times, but he kept on going. The television execs fired OPRAH. said she was unfit for TV, but she kept on going. Critics told BEYONCE that she couldn’t sing…..She went through fits of depression , but she kept on going. And may I add, Our own Dr. Wallace was victimized and imprisoned for trying to change our world, but kept on going.
     Struggle and criticisms are pre-requisites for greatness……THAT IS THE LAW OF THE UNIVERSE, AND NO ONE ESCAPES IT, because pain is life, but you can choose what type of pain. Either the pain on the road to success OR the pain of being haunted with regret. YOU WANT MY ADVICE???? ,,,,DONT THINK TWICE !!!! We have been given a gift that we call life, so don’t blow it. You were not defined by your past, instead you were born anew in each moment, so own it now! Sometimes you gotta leap and grow your wings on the way down. You better get the shot off before the clock runs out because there ain’t no over time in LIFE. No do over. I know I sound like I am speaking with force, but if you don’t use your gift, then you are not only selling yourself , but the whole world short . So, …What invention do you have buried in your mind? ….What idea?……What cure?…. What skill did you have inside you to bring to this Universe? …..UNI…meaning one. VERSE…meaning song…You have a part to play in this song. So….grab that microphone and be brave. Sing your heart out on life’s stage. You can not go back and make a brand new beginning—–but you can start now and make a brand new ending.” ….Thanks for reading and I hope you were as inspired as I was by these words.

110. 10/5/18. I have several lengthy pieces I hope to post to night, but first I wanted to thank Judith for her articles above. Thank You also for the info on Aloe Vera, and I just wanted to add this to yours.. My Mother was raised old school. She believed a lot of old style hand me down remedies, and in every home I can remember , she would always have tons of house plants that she nurtured through the cold winter months, but there were always the Aloe Vera plants. She would let them grow to a significant size, and no matter what happened, whether it was a sore or a cut or a burn, she broke off stalks of the plant , peeled it down and applied the wet sticky insides to the wound. She also used it on bites such as mosquitos and other bug bites. Living in a rural area far from the city, she made do with what she had available and her “medicine cabinet” was always pretty sparse, the major products were a big jar of vasoline . a smaller jar of Vicks vapo-rub, and a tin of Red Rose cow salve. (If you don’t know, don’t ask) Again thanks JC. I love you and anyone else who reads our page.

111. THE HEALING POWERS OF ALOE VERA

     NaturalBlaze
     By Lisa Egan
     October 2, 2018

     If you are interested in natural remedies, chances are you are familiar with aloe vera. Maybe you have used it after you’ve had too much sun, or you keep a tube of gel in your first aid kit for burns and wound care. But did you know the plant has many other uses?

     Aloe is a succulent plant that has a long history of medicinal use. Aloe vera specifically refers to the Aloe barbadensis Miller plant, which is the most common form used in aloe-based products.

     Aloe Vera’s use in healing can be traced back 6,000 years to early Egypt, where the plant was depicted on stone carvings. Known as the “plant of immortality,” aloe was presented as a funeral gift to pharaohs.

     The plant is native to North Africa, Southern Europe, and the Canary Islands. It grows naturally in dry, tropical climates in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the southern and western parts of the United States.

     There are at least 420 different plant species of Aloe (some sources say there are more than 500!), according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

     Aloe produces two substances that are used for health-related purposes: gel and latex.

     The gel is the clear, jelly-like substance found in the inner part of the aloe plant leaf. It is extracted from the plant and usually used on the skin to treat burns, wounds, and various skin conditions.

     Aloe latex is a pulp that comes from just under the plant’s skin and is yellow in color. It has been shown to have laxative properties.

     Some aloe products are made from the whole crushed leaf, so they contain both gel and latex.

     Aloe vera is used in many products in various forms, including drinks, concentrates, capsules, and powders.

     Aloe-based drinks, including aloe vera juice and aloe vera water, have become popular in recent years. The plant’s juices are usually combined with citrus juice to make aloe vera juice or water to make aloe vera water.

     Aloe juice is usually made one of two ways: 1) by grinding up the whole leaves and then removing the latex via filtration, or 2) by using the plant’s “inner” leaf (removing the rind prior to processing) and then rinsing away the aloe latex. The remaining gelatinous inner-leaf material is then ground or crushed into aloe vera “inner leaf” juice.

     WHAT’S IN ALOE VERA?

     More than 75 potentially active components have been identified in the aloe plant, according to a research review published in the Indian Journal of Dermatology:

     Vitamins: It contains vitamins A (beta-carotene), C and E, which are antioxidants. It also contains vitamin B12, folic acid, and choline. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals.

     Enzymes: It contains 8 enzymes: aliiase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase, and peroxidase. Bradykinase helps to reduce excessive inflammation when applied to the skin topically, while others aid in the breakdown of sugars and fats.

     Minerals: It provides calcium, chromium, copper, selenium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium and zinc. They are essential for the proper functioning of enzymes in different metabolic pathways and a few are antioxidants.

     Sugars: It provides monosaccharides (glucose and fructose) and polysaccharides: (glucomannans/polymannose), some of which contain anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties.

     Anthraquinones: It provides 12 anthraquinones, which are compounds traditionally known as laxatives. Aloin and emodin act as analgesics, antibacterials, and antivirals.

     Fatty acids: It provides 4 plant steroids, including cholesterol, which has anti-inflammatory action. One of them – lupeol – also possesses antiseptic and analgesic properties.

     Hormones: Auxins and gibberellins, which help in wound healing and have anti-inflammatory action.

     Others: It provides 20 of the 22 human required amino acids and 7 of the 8 essential amino acids. It also contains salicylic acid, which possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Lignin, an inert substance, when included in topical preparations, helps the skin absorb the other ingredients. Saponins, soapy substances form about 3% of the gel, have cleansing and antiseptic properties.

     BENEFITS AND USES

     Aloe vera is often touted as a remedy for everything from constipation to cancer. But does the plant live up to all the hype? There’s evidence to support some claims and none to support others.

     LOOK AT WHAT RESEARCH ON THE USE OF ALOE FOR SPECIFIC CONDITIONS SHOWS

     Burns and wounds: Aloe gel applied topically appears to shorten the duration of wound healing for first and second-degree burns. It also appears to promote wound healing in general.

     Antiseptic effects: Aloe contains various germ fighters like salicylic acid, which stave off bacteria, fungus, and viruses.

     Diabetes: Most research shows that taking aloe by mouth can reduce blood sugar and HbA1c in people with type 2 diabetes. Aloe also seems to improve cholesterol levels in people with this condition, but it is not clear which dose or form of aloe works best.

     Acne: Research suggests that applying aloe gel may help improve this skin condition.

     Eczema: There aren’t many studies evaluating the use of aloe vera for eczema, but the plant contains polysaccharides, which may help to stimulate skin growth and healing. Aloe has antibacterial and antifungal effects and anti-inflammatory properties and has a long history of use for skin-soothing. One study found that aloe vera has a more significant anti-inflammatory effect 48 hours after application of the gel, indicating some of the gel’s benefits may be delayed, rather than immediate.

     Psoriasis: Aloe extract cream might reduce symptoms caused by mild to moderate psoriasis, including redness, scaling, itching, and inflammation. It may take a month or more of using the cream several times per day to see improvements.

     Herpes simplex virus: Applying a cream or gel that contains aloe extract soothes discomfort and might help lesions heal faster.

     Oral lichen planus: Research suggests that applying aloe gel twice daily for eight weeks might reduce symptoms of this inflammatory condition that affects the inside of the mouth.

     Constipation: Aloe has long been used as a laxative and is definitely effective, but its use for this purpose is not without controversy. See the Risks and Contraindications section of this article for more information and warnings regarding the use of aloe as a laxative.

     Immune system support: The enzymes present in aloe vera break down the proteins that we eat into amino acids and turn the enzymes into fuel for every cell in the body, which enables the cells to function properly. One enzyme in particular – bradykinase -stimulates the immune system and kills infections.

     CHOOSING AN ALOE PRODUCT

     If you do a quick internet search for aloe vera, you’ll find hundreds of pages of products. Unfortunately – as with many industries – all products are not created equal, and some that claim to contain aloe do not contain much at all. In addition, the way aloe is processed can determine the quality of the end product and alter its health benefits.

     Because of this, the International Aloe Science Council has developed a certification program that validates the quality and quantity of aloe vera in commercial products. When you are searching for products containing aloe, be sure to look for the IASC certification stamp. The IASC maintains a list of certified products on their website.

     SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

     In some people, aloe vera can cause mild burning and itching. Be sure to carefully test new products that contain aloe vera gel on a small area of your skin to determine if skin irritation develops. Watch your skin for any signs of irritation or an allergic reaction over the next 24 hours. If you don’t notice any burning or itching, you can apply it to a larger area.

     Most of the research that supports aloe’s health benefits applies to the topical use of the plant. Many juices and waters that claim the aloe name often don’t contain much of the good stuff – if they contain any of it at all. Look for reputable brands if you’d like to purchase aloe vera juice. These two brands are IASC certified: Nature’s Sunshine Aloe Vera Juice and Natural Brand Aloe Vera Juice . Check this list for more IASC certified brands.

     Aloe juice may contain gel (also called pulp), latex, and green leafy parts. These are all liquefied together into juice form and then filtered. Some juices are only made from gel, while others filter the leaf and latex out.

     “Because of improper processing procedures many of these so-called aloe products contain very little or virtually no active ingredients,” according to a review in the Journal of Food Science and Technology, reports Men’s Health. And, because aloe juice contains a chemical that has been linked to cancer in rats (more on that in the Risks and Contraindications section of this article), drinking it may present risks.

     RISKS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS

     Aloe gel is generally considered to be safe when used as recommended, but the oral use of the latex is another story. According to WebMD, taking aloe latex by mouth is POSSIBLY UNSAFE at any dose, but LIKELY UNSAFE when taken in high doses. Aloe latex can cause some side effects such as stomach pain and cramps. Long-term use of large amounts of aloe latex might cause diarrhea, kidney problems, blood in the urine, low potassium, muscle weakness, weight loss, and heart disturbances. Taking aloe latex 1 gram daily for several days can be fatal.

     The latex of the aloe plant contains anthraquinones, which are organic compounds that are used for medicinal purposes. Anthraquinones are potent laxatives and can be irritating to both the upper and lower parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

     Unprocessed aloe latex contains aloin, an anthraquinone that may have the potential to cause cancer, and processed aloe latex might have cancer-causing compounds. A study by the National Institutes of Health looked at the consumption of aloe vera whole-leaf extract. Those findings revealed tumor growth in the large intestines of laboratory rats.

     Because of this finding, there are concerns about the long-term use of anthraquinones. The most notable is the development of a condition known as melanosis coli explains VerywellHealth:

     In this condition, the lining of the colon takes on a dark brownish black hue. It is estimated that it takes four months of anthraquinone use for melanosis coli to develop.

     In the past, there was some concern that the development of melanosis coli increased a person’s risk for colon cancer. However, more recent research suggests that this is not the case. Interestingly, melanosis coli can reverse itself although the process can take up to 15 months after anthraquinone use has been discontinued.
     Most aloe juices today do not contain significant aloin and are probably safe when used as recommended.

     Here is a list of special precautions and warnings from WebMD:

     Pregnancy or breast-feeding: Aloe — either gel or latex — is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth. There is a report that aloe was associated with miscarriage. It could also be a risk for birth defects. Do not take aloe by mouth if you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

     Children: Aloe gel is POSSIBLY SAFE when applied to the skin appropriately. Aloe latex and aloe whole leaf extracts are POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in children. Children younger than 12 years-old might have stomach pain, cramps, and diarrhea.

     Diabetes: Some research suggests that aloe might lower blood sugar. If you take aloe by mouth and you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels closely.

     Intestinal conditions such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or obstruction: Do not take aloe latex if you have any of these conditions. Aloe latex is a bowel irritant. Remember, products made from whole aloe leaves will contain some aloe latex.

     Hemorrhoids: Do not take aloe latex if you have hemorrhoids. It could make the condition worse. Remember, products made from whole aloe leaves will contain some aloe latex.

     Kidney problems: High doses of aloe latex have been linked to kidney failure and other serious conditions.

     Surgery: Aloe might affect blood sugar levels and could interfere with blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop taking aloe at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

     As with any supplement, checking with your healthcare provider prior to using aloe vera (especially internally) is a good idea. If you are taking medications or have any serious health conditions, this is particularly important.

112. KAVANAUGH ACCUSER, CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD,
     RAN MIND CONTROL PROGRAMS AT STANFORD (CIA CONNECTIONS)

     HumansAreFree
     October 3, 2018

     In another stunning bombshell about the hoax accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, we’ve now learned and confirmed that Christine Blasey Ford co-authored a science paper that involves her carrying out mass “hypnotic inductions” of psychiatric subjects as part of a mind control program that cites methods to “create artificial situations.”

     Internet sleuths are turning up an extraordinary collection of evidence that increasingly points to Christine Blasey Ford being involved in mind control programs at Stanford, which some claim are run by the CIA. We have confirmed that Stanford University, where Ford works, runs a “CIA undergraduate internship program” which is described in full at this Stanford.edu recruitment page for the CIA.

     The Stanford recruitment page for the CIA explains, “You will be given the opportunity to work with highly-skilled professionals and see first-hand the role the CIA plays in supporting US officials who make our country’s foreign policy.”

     We can also now confirm that Ford is listed as a co-author of a study that carried out mass hypnosis and mind control on psychiatric subjects under the banner of “psychoeducation,” covered in more detail below.

     A university professor named Margot Cleveland first tweeted the discovery, which is now spreading rapidly across the ‘net: View image on TwitterView image on Twitter – Margot Cleveland@ProfMJCleveland – One of Christine Ford Blasey’s research articles in 2008 included a study in which participants were TAUGHT SELF-HYPNOSIS & noted hypnosis is used to retrieve important memories “AND CREATE ARTIFICAL SITUATIONS.” Oct 1, 2018

     Christine Blasey Ford confirmed to be a co-author of the mind control study. The study was published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology. The study title, abstract and authors can be confirmed at (link included).

     Interestingly, the study was funded by the Mental Insight Foundation (see detailed financial records, below) and was overseen by Dr. Lisa Butler of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine. You can confirm these facts at this link.

     The full text of the research paper describes methods to “create artificial situations.” Here’s some of the actual language from the paper, which can be viewed in full at this link from Academia.edu.

     …assist in the retrieval of important memories,and create artificial situations that would permit the client to express ego-dystonic emotions in a safe manner.

     [Subjects] were given the Hypnotic Induction Profile (HIP; H. Spiegel & Spiegel, 2004) to evaluate their level of hypnotizability and were asked to complete a baseline packet of psychosocial questionnaires assessing life events, general functioning, satisfaction with life, and aspects of mood (including symptom levels), personality, health, social support, traumatic experience, and spirituality.

     Therapist-led groups met once a week in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine to participate in an intervention that included either meditation and yoga exercises or group therapy with formal hypnotic inductions.

     From this published paper, co-authored by Christine Blasey Ford, we know she is intimately familiar with mass hypnosis, self-hypnosis and mind alteration processes, all of which are being deployed in this staged “false flag” assault on Brett Kavanaugh.

     Through carefully crafted leaks, cover-ups and media narratives, almost half the nation has already been mass hypnotized into believing that an innocent man is a deranged serial rapist. Such is the power of CIA mind control, deployed on a nationwide scale. (It also underscores the realization that the entire purpose of the establishment media is not to inform people but to influence minds.)

     The Mental Insight Foundation also funded a study on “Interoception” and “neuroimaging” to control the mind through biological intervention.

     If you venture even deeper down this rabbit hole, you find that the same Mental Insight Foundation that funded the mass hypnosis / mind control study on which Christine Ford work also helped fund another study called “Interoception and Mental Health: A Roadmap.”

     This study, completed in June of this year (2018), is available at ScienceDirect link.

     The abstract for this study describes the key focus of the research:

     Interoception refers to the process by which the nervous system senses, interprets, and integrates signals originating from within the body, providing a moment-by-moment mapping of the body’s internal landscape across conscious and unconscious levels.

     In essence, this research seeks to find ways to control the mind through biological interventions by exploiting the “roadmap” of biology / neuro links. When the full map of how the mind interprets internal biological is understood, it allows a kind of reverse engineering of the mind through interventions in the human subject.

     If this sounds familiar, recall the recent revelations about the projections of inner voices through sub-audible frequencies that can essentially “plant” voices or even emotional moods into the minds of targeted subjects.

     It is well known that U.S. embassy workers in Cuba were recently attacked by secret “sonic weapons” that were widely reported in the media.

     As The Guardian reports, the level of mind control achieved through such biological interventions can cause targeted subjects to be unable to recall specific words that would otherwise be in their vocabulary. The Guardian says:

     At least some of the incidents were confined to certain rooms with laser-like specificity, and some victims now have problems recalling specific words…

     The blaring, grinding noise jolted the American diplomat from his bed in a Havana hotel. He moved just a few feet, and there was silence. He climbed back into bed. Inexplicably, the agonizing sound hit him again. It was as if he’d walked through some invisible wall cutting straight through his room.

     Soon came the hearing loss, and the speech problems, symptoms both similar and altogether different from others among at least 21 US victims in an astonishing international mystery still unfolding in Cuba.

     Some felt vibrations, and heard sounds – loud ringing or a high-pitch chirping similar to crickets or cicadas.

     Other symptoms have included brain swelling, dizziness, nausea, severe headaches, balance problems and tinnitus, or prolonged ringing in the ears.

     Getting back to Christine Blasey Ford’s work on interoception / neuroimaging, the paper funded by the Mental Insight Foundation openly admits that the neuroimaging “roadmap” can alter decisions, behavior and even consciousness.

     It explains, “Recent years have witnessed a surge of interest on the topic of interoception due in part to findings highlighting its integral role in emotional experience, self-regulation, decision making, and consciousness. Importantly, interoception is not limited to conscious perception or even unique to the human species.”

     Some other interesting text from the study:

     While interoception research to date has typically focused on single organ systems, an expanded approach that assesses multiple interoceptive organ systems and/or elements is needed. Examples include targeting numerous interoceptive features simultaneously and employing different tasks that converge on the same feature (e.g., combining top-down assessments of interoceptive attention with bottom-up perturbation approaches in the same individual)…

     …a host of novel tools are capable of inhibiting, stimulating, or modulating the activity of interoceptive brain networks. Noninvasive methods include the application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (77), transcranial direct and alternating current stimulation (78), low-intensity focused ultrasound (79), temporally interfering electric fields (80), transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (81), presentation of information during different phases of visceral rhythms (e.g., cardiac systole vs. diastole) (82), and assessment of corticocardiac signaling (83).

     Take a closer look at these diagrams found in the research, which details methods of “changing the world through exteroactions” and “changing the body through interoactions” in order to create “combined percept of the body in the world.” (Diagrams showing human body “Computational psychosomatics”)

     The study openly discusses altering behavior and beliefs through the application of neurotechnology “inference-control loops” that “hijack” human anatomy to control minds. In essence, they are modeling the neurology of a human being in terms of firmware / software / hardware, then hacking the system to install their own desired beliefs and behaviors.

     They even call it “computational psychosomatics,” and they talk about using torture techniques to force the neurological maps out into the open, saying, “the degree of tolerance to being enclosed in a small dark chamber for 10 minutes might provide behavioral evidence verifying tolerance to triggers of interoceptive dysregulation.”

     In the language of the science authors: “Eliciting surprise-minimizing (homeostasis-restoring) actions changes the bodily state and thus interosensations. This means that inference and control of bodily states form a closed loop. Inference–control loops that minimize interoceptive surprise can be cast as hierarchical Bayesian models (HBMs).”

     Anatomically, HBMs are plausible candidates given that interoceptive circuitry is structured hierarchically 45, 94. Under general assumptions, HBMs employ a small set of computational quantities — predictions, prediction errors, and precisions 37, 95. These quantities can support surprise minimization in two ways: by adjusting beliefs (probability distributions) throughout the hierarchy [predictive coding (95)] or engaging actions that fulfill beliefs about bodily states [active inference (96)]

     Additional details about the Mental Insight Foundation:

     We are not alleging any nefarious, unethical or illegal activities on the part of the Mental Insight Foundation. However, to help other internet researchers follow the many leads now uncovered in all this, we’re publishing public information about this foundation that’s readily available in online public tax documents.

     The Mental Insight Foundation took in a whopping $18+ million in 2015, according to tax records. Its address is 538 BROADWAY STE A, SONOMA, CA 95476-6602, which appears to be a single family house.

     That address is the exact same address listed by Virginia Hubbell Associates, a small firm that says it offers “consulting services for family foundations.”

     Its client list, found here, includes not only the Mental Insight Foundation but also:

     Codding Enterprises
     Levi Strauss Foundation
     McKesson Foundation
     Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.
     The Public Affairs Council
     Sparkletts/Alhambra Water Company
     Science Alliance

     Most of the clients appear to be genuinely helpful organizations for society, but they’re probably worth a second look from internet researchers. Notably, the Levi Strauss company recently came out in favor of destroying the Second Amendment by pushing gun control.

     What’s especially interesting is that Virginia Hubbell Associates was paid $341,375 in just one year for “foundation management” services, according to this form 990-PF for 2015.

     “Statement 11” of the document lists the officers, directors, trustees and key employees of the Mental Insight Foundation. Notably, they are all paid nothing except for the treasurer.

     In other words, most of the directors are paid nothing, but the management consultant is paid $341K. We are not alleging any unscrupulous activities among these individuals. They are public officers of a public foundation, listed in a public document.

     These individuals are:

     David Herskovits of Brooklyn, NY
     Robert P. Bunje of Foster City, CA
     Isabelle Kimpton of Incline Village, NV
     Graham Kimpton of Fairfax, CA
     Barry Bunshoft of San Francisco, CA
     Len Dell’Amico of Fairfax, CA
     Jennifer Catherine Egan of Brooklyn, NY
     Laura Kimpton of Vineburg, CA
     Kay Kimpton Walker of San Francisco, CA

     If you’re noticing a lot of “Kimpton” names in this list, that’s probably because one of the primary sources of income for the Mental Insight Foundation is the Kimpton Hotel Group, LLC, which generated $2.3 million in revenue for the foundation in 2015. There’s nothing illegal about that. It’s just an interesting note.

     The foundation donated money to the following groups. We’re not alleging anything nefarious in this list, by the way. Rather, these are leads for other internet researchers to follow.

     Many of the groups this foundation donates to appear to be related to offering support for veterans, the homeless and integrative medicine:

     Hoffman Institute, San Anselmo, CA
     Amazon Watch, San Francisco, CA
     Center for Mind Body Medicine, Washington, DC
     Institute for Integrative Health, Baltimore, MD
     Jericho Project, Brisbane, CA
     Spirit Rock Meditation Center, Woodacre, CA

     Wow … this is really some interesting facts about the ongoing frenzy of the Kavanaugh confirmation. What a wild ride it has been … I never would have been able to watch all that talking head nonsense nor keep up with the ‘details’ of the ins and outs of it all. It just demonstrates that change is certainly in the air! And all the more reason to look forward to the C of U and the Twelve Visions World of Mark Hamilton. Thanks for reading!

115. 9/29/18 Good Morning Fellow Neothinkers
     Normally I try to stay away from religious and political rhetoric , but the article I want to leave you with today has both.
     If you are a conscious human being, there is no way you have not been exposed to what has been taking place in the media the last few weeks and in recent
     days. I think we all will agree that our great country is in grave danger. it appears evil and distrust is lurking around every corner. The masses we refer to as the anti-civilization is completely being misguided by the small percentage of elitists and usurpers to further their need for greed, power and ego. Meanwhile they are doing there job by leading us down the pathway to hell. The poem, as they call it, was written by a German Lutheran pastor, Martin Niemoller. Before you dismiss this as a religious quote, please read his words because they strongly resonate what appears to be happening to America. It is about the cowardice of German intellectuals following the Nazi’s rise to power and subsequent purging of their chosen targets, group after group. Many variations and adaptations in the spirit of the original have been published in the English language. It deals with themes of persecution , guilt and responsibility. As I read his words, I could not help but think that our great nation that is in turmoil and in the midst of civil unrest and chaos could be history repeating itself.

     FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE SOCIALISTS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK—
     BECAUSE I WAS NOT A SOCIALIST.

     THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE UNIONISTS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT—
     BECAUSE I WAS NOT A TRADE UNIONIST.

     THEN THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT—
     BECAUSE I WAS NOT A JEW.

     THEN THEY COME FOR THE CATHOLICS, AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT—
     BECAUSE I WAS A PROTESTANT.

     THEN THEY CAME FOR ME — AND THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK FOR ME.

119. Hi guys and gals. Today’s story is something I have been following for years, This should be in health and wellness also.
     ” LYTLE ORDERED TO PAY 12.8 MILLION FOR LASER FRAUD”.
     However from this writer’s stand point, it should have read ” Don’t try to compete with big PHARMA<BIG BUSINESS, they cant stand the competition!!!!(And they can crush you) I have been following this story and have actually reported on this a few years back right here on this page. Before you think I am terribly wrong about this report, I have also seen pages of testimonials saying how this device has helped them and they wouldn't part with it for anything.
     So here is the Journals one sided version of the story. A Rapid City man has been ordered to pay 12.8 Million to customers he defrauded and misled into buying his medical laser devices. A restitution order was filed Monday in FEDERAL COURT against 83 (Eighty Three) year old Robert "Larry: Lytle. Additional orders filed for two co-conspirators , Ronald Weir, 39 of Rapid City. He was ordered to pay $801,626.74 in restitution and Irena Kossavskaia , 63, Canada, was ordered to pay $91,478.50. Lytle is serving 12 years prison sentence , Weir is serving 2 years, and Kossavskaia will begin her 15 month sentence this week. They were sentenced in April following guilty pleas, each to the crime of conspiracy to introduce mis-branded medical devices into Interstate Commerce with intent to defraud and mislead, and Lytle to the additional crime of contempt.
     This is more my version of the story, the part they don't talk much about. Larry was a business owner , was once on the city council and a good family man and supporter of the community.. The contempt charges were brought about because he had FDA clearance and was legal to sell the device, and may have overstepped the line since they claimed this machine could treat 100's of medical conditions ranging in severity from headaches to aids , but there were no PUBLISHED clinical or scientific studies to support these claims , so FEDERAL REGULATORS tried to halt his sales. As I recall, his problems started when a lady patient who was diagnosed with cancer refused to take the prescribed medications but was using the machine , and she died. Her family blamed her death on Lytle, and from there some slick Attorney(s) took the case to court. Shortly after, several other individuals jumped on the old proverbial Money train. We are all interested in finding ways to find a cure for aging and biological immortality, but fair warning , the government doesn't like us cutting into there business, and any wrong moves can not only destroy your hopes and dreams, but your life as well. ( I am not trying to discourage anyone, and I wish it wasn't this way, but this is just another way the elite protects themselves and lets the A/C kick our butts.

120. 9/25/18 Hi guys! Some days I admit to be more confused than knowledgeable , or maybe that is part of making this 3000 year leap in consciousness is supposed to do. Since our most recent subject is about becoming God-man, (ZON) I have been studying the three insights—God man IS our next evolution. I have on my kindle, Julian Jaynes (2/27/1920 to 11/27/1997) book “The origin of Consciousness in the break down of the bicameral mind” and have noticed several contradictions that we still firmly grasp in Neo-tech. For Instance I for one still use the word :spirit” but he says that is bicameral. Not necessary a Jaynes word, but Dr. Frank says we have been using the “Infinity” wrong , but is a useful MIND created concept that does not exist in reality. For my fairly uneducated mind in terms of formal education , it’s sometimes difficult for me to determine if Jaynes was able to pull off one of the biggest coups in modern day history or really had a mind that was far beyond the level or raised consciousness above the rest of us Earthlings, and was indeed a true and HONEST genius. Am I allowed to say that? For this integration, I AM —Jealous, Envy, Irony, ? Not the qualities of a honest and true God-Man (ZON) Still I am a student of higher learning.

121. ASPIRIN HAS NO BENEFIT, MAY INCREASE CANCER
     MORTALITY — NEJM STUDY REVEALS

     GreenMedInfo
     Written By: Sayer Ji
     September 17th 2018

     Bayer’s headaches don’t stop with Monsanto-related buyer’s remorse. Their most iconic pharmaceutical — aspirin — which they once marketed as a ‘wonder drug’ is now being revealed to have no benefits to older adults, and may even cause significant harm.

     I’ve been writing about the under-reported dangers and overstated health benefits of aspirin for some years now. Sometimes it feels like swimming upstream, given how often mainstream reporting and thinking associates so-called “low-dose” aspirin usage with some kind of ‘wonder drug’ for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. But the truth is now catching up to this marketing hype, as evidenced by this recent ABC news headline: “Daily aspirin may be harmful for healthy, older adults, large study finds.”

     According to the new report, healthy patients, 70 and older (65 for blacks and Hispanics), experienced no health benefits from taking aspirin. This is based on research published last month in the New England Journal of Medicine, titled, “Effect of Aspirin on Disability-free Survival in the Healthy Elderly.” As summarized by a Forbes article advising older, healthy adults to “Toss Your Aspirin”:

     “A major study conducted in the United States and Australia that enrolled about 19,000 healthy adults, 70 years and older (65 years and older for blacks and Hispanics in the United States), found that an enteric-coated, aspirin that is similar to the dose of a baby aspirin increased the risk of death, did not reduce the risk of heart disease or disability or dementia or cancer. In fact, the increase in mortality was attributed primarily to cancer. And those taking aspirin also had an increased risk of bleeding. Overall there was nothing in the plus column for aspirin. And no benefit was found in any particular subgroup.”
     The study’s co-author Dr. Anne Murray, a geriatrician and epidemiologist at the Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute and the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, was quoted as saying:

     “We knew there would an increased risk of bleeding with aspirin, because there has always been…But not only did it not decrease risk of disability or death, it did not decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke, and there was an increase in the rate of death.”

     WHY AND HOW DOES ASPIRIN CAUSE HARM?

     The obvious problem with aspirin is that it’s actually not a natural substance, comprised as it is of xenobiotic chemicals alien to the human body and its delicate metabolism. In my previous article on the topic, “The Evidence Against Aspirin And For Natural Alternatives,” I discuss this in detail:

     “As far back as the 5th century BC, the Greek physician Hippocrates wrote about the use of a bitter powder extracted from willow bark that reduced fevers and eased aches and pains. Native Americans also used an infusion of willow bark for similar purposes. What was this remarkable “healing” principle within the bark that relieved disease?

     Known as salicylic acid (from the Latin salix, willow tree), this pain-killing compound is widely distributed throughout plants, where it functions as a hormone. The more vegetables and fruits you consume, the more likely you are to have a physiologically significant concentration of salicylic acid in your blood. This is why, for instance, vegans and vegetarians generally have higher levels than most grain- and meat-based consumers.

     The chemical acetyl-salicylic acid, commonly known as aspirin, is a synthetic form of salicylic acid, a compound which is formed when salicin, a bitter compound naturally found within plants like white willow bark, is broken down within the human body. Salicylic acid can also be synthesized endogenously from benzoic acid, and its urinary metabolite, salicyluric acid, has been found to overlap levels in patients on low-dose aspirin regimens. Cell research indicates that salicylic acid compounds (known as salicyclates) actually compare surprisingly well to aspirin in reducing inflammatory activity.

     While salicylic acid is found naturally in plants as salicylates, acetyl-salicylic acid does not exist in nature, is not formed as byproduct of natural salicylate consumption, and is produced only through industrial synthesis. For example, this is one method of synthesis:

     Acetylsalicylic acid is prepared by reacting acetic anhydride with salicylic acid at a temperature of <90 deg C either in a solvent (e.g., acetic acid or aromatic, acyclic, or chlorinated hydrocarbons) or by the addition of catalysts such as acids or tertiary amines."

     Also, the chemical modification of natural salicylic acid with an acetyl group results in the acetylation of hemoglobin, essentially chemically altering the natural structure-function of our red blood cells and subsequent hemodynamics. In essence, aspirin, a semi-synthetic compound, makes the blood tissue itself semi-synthetic.

     This could be why aspirin has been linked to such a broad range of unintended adverse health effects, including but not limited to:

     Gastric Ulcer
     Hearing Loss/Tinnitus
     Cerebral Bleeding
     Influenza Mortality
     Reye Syndrome
     Crohn’s Disease
     Helicobacter Pylori Infection

     We have a section on our database dedicated to indexing the under-reported, unintended adverse effects of aspirin, related to 50 diseases which can be viewed called "Aspirin Side Effects." We also have a section which indexes research on natural compounds studied to prevent, reduce or reverse Aspirin-Induced Toxicity.

     According to US EPA statistics, up to 500 thousand pounds of the chemical was produced in the United States in 1998 alone. Millions the world over take it for pain relief, including your typical headache, but also for the prevention of heart attacks and stroke.

     Taking a “baby aspirin,” i.e. an 81 mg dose, is considered safer — which it is relative to a 325 mg “adult dose” – but is known to cause widespread and significant gastroduodenal damage. A study published in 2009 in the journal Currrent Medical Research & Opinion titled, “Gastroduodenal toxicity of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid: a comparison with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,” found the following:

     “Data suggest that ASA causes significant gastroduodenal damage even at the low doses used for cardiovascular protection. These effects (both systemic and possibly local) may be pharmacodynamically distinct from the gastroduodenal toxicity seen with NSAIDs.”

     Another 2009 study found that 80% of healthy individuals who uses short-term (14 days), low-dose aspirin experienced small intestinal toxicity, including small bowel mucosal breaks and mucosal inflammation. Also, there are reports of esophageal mucosal lesions induced by low-dose aspirin and other antiplatelet medications mimicking esophageal malignancy.

     Data suggest that ASA [aspirin]causes significant gastroduodenal damage even at the low doses used for cardiovascular protection. These effects (both systemic and possibly local) may be pharmacodynamically distinct from the gastroduodenal toxicity seen with NSAIDs.

     Hemorrhagic side effects, in fact, are one of the greatest challenges facing those who use aspirin for prevention. By taking a drug which prevents clotting, aspirin can work too well, resulting in bleeding disorders or events, some of which may be life-threatening, even lethal.”

     IF ASPIRIN IS SO DANGEROUS AND INEFFECTIVE, WHAT’S THE NATURAL ALTERNATIVE?

     With tens of thousands dying each year from opioid drug overdose, and with thousands more succumbing to the cardiotoxicity of commonly used NSAID drugs like ibuprofen, it is important for people to know about one natural alternative to aspirin that has been studied to be far superior both in safety and effectiveness, and which may have over a dozen significant side benefits. That substance is pycnogenol, or French maritime pine bark extract.

     A 1999 clinical study published in Thrombotic Research found that when habitual smokers were given either 500 mg of aspirin or anywhere between 100-200 mg of pycnogenol, the pycnogenol group experienced equivalent platelet aggregation inhibiting effects but with much lower bleeding times:

     “Thus, smoking-induced enhanced platelet aggregation was inhibited by 500 mg Aspirin as well as by a lower range of 100-125 mg Pycnogenol. Aspirin significantly (p<0.001) increased bleeding time from 167 to 236 seconds while Pycnogenol did not.These observations suggest an advantageous risk-benefit ratio for Pycnogenol.”
     This is a highly significant finding, as aspirin-induced bleeding can result in significantly increased morbidity and mortality. To learn more, read my article on the topic: "The Powerful Aspirin Alternative Your Doctor Never Told You About". And to learn more about the toxicity of aspirin use our research database on the topic at GreenMedInfo.com. END

     I felt that someone out there might need to know about this so I'm posting it. The medical industry has been prescribing aspirin for as long as I can remember for these conditions … of course … why did we believe it would be good for us? Thanks for this space to air our thoughts and grievances, Mark Hamilton, and for the valuable knowledge I've gleaned in the Neothink Society and also from teachings by Dr. Wallace in Neo-Tech! Rising to the incredible new future that's materializing now.

122. 9/24/18 WHO AM I ?
     That was a question raised on a program this week. I have had a hard time with meditation, don’t ask me why, I just have, but for some reason the above question gave me pause to reflect on the past and the present. This integration may make me sound like a second grader but here it is.

     Who am I? I am but a withering child of the Universe, my time here on planet Earth is less than a nano-second in the cycle of things, so it’s up to me to make sure every breath I take counts.
     I am happy, I am sad, I am curious, I am glad, I am a patriot, I believe in peace and in freedom so much I should be wrapped in red, white and blue. I am fear, doubt and worry, but at the same time I am hope. Hope for the future, hope that someday all mankind can live in harmony without fear of hunger , disease and poverty. but most of all love for self and fellow man . I am awareness. I am
     flesh and blood and muscle and veins and nerves, yet I nothing more than molecules, protons, of which is scientific fact and that which makes up all living things that exist. I am a soul and a spirit guided by a conscious mind that is consumed with passion and love for mankind, and I am Zon! Ask me how I know! I am my own God-man, Several times a trial was held and I defied the Universe by fighting back the enemy of mankind called death and won. It was amazing resolve and willpower that it took to stand at the doorway and refused to enter. No one else! I am the one who loves sitting in the darkness , staring into the milky way with the knowledge that I am only a speck of dust in the cosmos and conscious that it is my contribution in the grandeur of things, and still the question remains. Who Am I.? Well I am going to submit this no matter how corny it sounds, but there was some deep thinking and soul searching involved. Thanks Mark Hamilton for continuing to give us this space to express ourselves.

     Good Morning Wayne, Judith, Pete, Elijah, Charlie, Steve (Digger), and anyone else who may read this post.

     I agree with every one of you who may have been on that Sunday night Call. It creates a great amount of Resentment, Anger, and a desire to “LASH OUT” at these Stupid, Ignorant, Self-Blinded, Deaf and Dumb pieces of A/C Hog Vomit who claim to KNOW EVERYTHING about printed material which they have never personally opened nor read!!

     I was Attacked and Victimized by this same kind of mentality among the “Self-Righteous” Leadership of the Church I was attending back in the mid 1980’s!!
     (68)
     This is the reason why I “LEFT” the Church in the first place. Those “RELIGIOUS LEADERS” had offended and hurt at least 30 other members of the Church during 20 previous years.

     This is not “LOVE” my dear friends!! It is a profound dis-respect for the thoughts, feelings, and rights of others. People who do not respect the Individual Rights of others – do not belong in Leadership Positions. They don’t know the First Thing about dealing with other people, and they don’t know ANYTHING about helping others to become better citizens!!
     They have no legitimate right to accuse the Neo-Think Society of being an EVIL CULT whatsoever. In actual Fact, they are the very EPITOME of an Evil Cult “THEMSELVES!!”

     (69)
     When I was Accused and Victimized, I believe that they thought I would respond with a Shy, Pitiful, Milquetoast attitude – who would just “LEAVE” and .GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! Because I have always displayed a quiet, friendly, mild-mannered attitude toward everyone, they had never seen how I would react to all injustice of every kind.

     They really didn’t “KNOW” me at all!! They never knew that “They” were the “Mouse” who attempted to attack the “CAT!!”

     I am a very fluent student of the English Language, and I know how to use words in a very effective manner. I responded to their attacks in the form of a 50 page letter, addressed to every member, — not just in THAT church, but also to the President of the

     (70)
     whole Church organization, including all of the other Churches which existed in the State of Washington!!
     I knew every Belief, Doctrine, and Standard which they “CLAIMED” to believe, but Did Not Practice in their everyday life.
     By the end of my 50 page letter to every Church Location in the State, — I had RIPPED them to SHREDS!! I also received a very humbled letter of response from the President of the Churches of that State. He KNEW that I could do a vast amount of DAMAGE to the Church if I chose to do it, therefore they never attempted to attack me again!! No matter who they may claim to be, I am able to defend myself against their attacks.
     There is one more issue which I need to address here.

     (70)
     That issue is THIS: As Members of this Neo-Think Society, we need to MEMORIZE and EMBRACE the principles contained in the PRIME LAW. We must ALWAYS be True Representatives of this Very Special Society, because if we FAIL to do this, we – singularly will be accountable for the Negative, Destructive and Deadly response which we have created. And please believe me,– the Seed of Influence which we plant in the Universe – WILL return to us – with a Vengeance that will not be mingled with Mercy. Please be Advised.

124. EVIDENCE THE HOUSING BUBBLE IS BURSTING?: “HOME SELLERS
     ARE SLASHING PRICES AT THE HIGHEST RATE IN AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS”

     ACTIVIST POST
     By Michael Snyder
     September 24, 2018

     The housing market indicated that a crisis was coming in 2008. Is the same thing happening once again in 2018? For several years, the housing market has been one of the bright spots for the U.S. economy. Home prices, especially in the hottest markets on the East and West Coasts, had been soaring. But now that has completely changed, and home sellers are cutting prices at a pace that we have not seen since the last recession. In case you are wondering, this is definitely a major red flag for the economy. According to CNBC, home sellers are “slashing prices at the highest rate in at least eight years”…

     After three years of soaring home prices, the heat is coming off the U.S. housing market. Home sellers are slashing prices at the highest rate in at least eight years, especially in the West, where the price gains were hottest.
     It is quite interesting that prices are being cut fastest in the markets that were once the hottest, because that is exactly what happened during the subprime mortgage meltdown in 2008, too.

     In a previous article, I documented the fact that experts were warning that “the U.S. housing market looks headed for its worst slowdown in years,” but even I was stunned by how bad these new numbers are.

     According to Redfin, more than one out of every four homes for sale in America had a price drop within the most recent four-week period…

     In the four weeks ended Sept. 16, more than one-quarter of the homes listed for sale had a price drop, according to Redfin, a real estate brokerage. That is the highest level since the company began tracking the metric in 2010. Redfin defines a price drop as a reduction in the list price of more than 1 percent and less than 50 percent.
     That is absolutely crazy.

     I have never even heard of a number anywhere close to that in a 30-day period.

     Of course the reason why prices are being dropped is because homes are not selling. The supply of homes available for sale is shooting up, and that is good news for buyers but really bad news for sellers.

     It could be argued that home prices needed to come down because they had gotten ridiculously high in recent months, and I don’t think that there are too many people that would argue with that.

     But is this just an “adjustment,” or is this the beginning of another crisis for the housing market?

     Just like a decade ago, millions of American families have really stretched themselves financially to get into homes that they really can’t afford. If a new economic downturn results in large numbers of Americans losing their jobs, we are once again going to see mortgage defaults rise to stunning heights.

     We live at a time when the middle class is shrinking and most families are barely making it from month to month. The cost of living is steadily rising, but paychecks are not, and that is resulting in a huge middle class squeeze. I really like how my good friend MN Gordon made this point in his most recent article…

     The general burden of the American worker is the daily task of squaring the difference between the booming economy reported by the government bureaus and the dreary economy reported in their biweekly paychecks. There is sound reason to believe that this task, this burden of the American worker, has been reduced to some sort of practical joke. An exhausting game of chase the wild goose.

     How is it that the economy’s been growing for nearly a decade straight, but the average worker’s seen no meaningful increase in their income? Have workers really been sprinting in place this entire time? How did they end up in this ridiculous situation?

     The fact is, for the American worker, America’s brand of a centrally planned economy doesn’t pay. The dual impediments of fake money and regulatory madness apply exactions which cannot be overcome. There are claims to the fruits of one’s labors long before they’ve been earned.

     The economy, in other words, has been rigged. The value that workers produce flows to Washington and Wall Street, where it’s siphoned off and misallocated to the cadre of officials, cronies, and big bankers. What’s left is spent to merely keep the lights on, the car running, and food upon the table.
     And, unfortunately, things are likely to only go downhill from here.

     The trade war is really starting to take a toll on the global economy, and it continues to escalate. Back during the Great Depression we faced a similar scenario, and we would be wise to learn from history. In a recent post, Robert Wenzel shared a quote from Dr. Benjamin M. Anderson that was pulled from his book entitled” Economics and the Public Welfare: A Financial and Economic History of the United States, 1914-1946.” EMD

125. Seldom do I feel the urgency to critique a Sunday night program, but Steve Digger Fagan had every right to be upset with the member who canceled the work shop because his uninformed spouse had prematurely deemed it a place of evil therefore it was to be a meeting of the occult. All that time I was sitting here listening with a tear in my eye, because this was the second year I was unable to attend due to health problems. The very first thing you see when entering my room is a heavy duty book case , and the top 2 shelves display the 15 books I have purchased, and hope to add at least a couple of more. The A/C world has been programmed to condemn any thing new or different and conclude that it must be bad without reading or making an attempt to understand it. The following suggestion was made that when the unfounded charges and remarks are made, Simply ask them (1) What part of Neo-think is it that you don’t like ? (2) Which part of Neo-think offends you? (Thanks Charlie Moore) While they are mulling over what to say next, thrust Book # 3, Super Puzzle, Miss Annabelle’s story at them and challenge them to prove their words. Throughout history, there have been those who struggle for power and domination over others. Don’t allow it to happen. Be a self-leader!

126. Hi Forest and Carol. It is good to see you on here. This thing about getting old, it’s for the birds! At least we have Judith to keep us old guys going. I understand your frustrations about bills these days, I think all this modern technology is being abused, and a way for people, especially utility, banks and Medical facilities to keep us, the users, in a state of confusion and to siphon off some extra revenue. Also nobody in particular has to be responsible for the errors. I have been in a constant battle with the VA and Regional Hospital, and so far I am the looser. The VA says they are denying my claims because they did not receive the charges within the 90 day period, Mean while, Regional is billing me because the VA has not paid there share. I might as well not have the VA. My only alternative claims the VA, is that I can request a hearing ( at there convenience) if I feel they are the responsible party. They are not required to inform where or when these hearing are to be held. Another excuse for denying several claims is because they were not called and approved prior to my entry to the hospital. That’s mighty difficult if your laying in an ambulance at 2 in the morning, and being hooked up to a life support machine. (Oh WAIT!,, gotta call the VA first.)…………….OK, I need to make some sort of integration here.

     This is something our friend Robert spoke about back on 12/6/ 17. on the School of Genius.
     He spoke of a change that is eminent, and we will move from the 3rd dimension to the 4th, and in this process our planet will reverse and we will not go counter clock wise with the sun coming up in the west rather than the east, but it actually slows time, and when we do something in the next (4th) dimension, we get younger and every year equals 365 years. Well something like that! Maybe THAT”s how we find a cure for aging and biological immortality!

127. September 22, 2018
     WOW!! — I get involved in the Mentor Calls, and plans for a near future presentation, and studying the Neo-Think manuscripts for a few days, and then checking back to read the few sparse integrations on the Wikipedia site, — and suddenly there is a “WHOLE BOOK” of integrations – from Wayne, Judith, Charlie and Elijah Lenix, — someone I do not yet know.

     I came to the conclusion that everyone but “Me, Wayne, Judith, and Pete — were the only ones left who would be writing on this Wikipedia Site, but I was wrong about this. It appeared that everyone else had abandoned this site for things more important to them!!

     (63)
     I KNOW that it is going to take me quite a long time to catch up on reading all of these posts, but I WILL get it done.

     My mind has been focused on a Dozen different things for a while, due to my wife’s recent Knee Surgery, her resultant pain, being on crutches, going to Doctor appointments, and trying to get all of our everyday chores, responsibilities and grocery shopping done.

     I have to do all the Laundry, cook all the Meals, take care of Carol’s needs, and help her in every way that I possibly can!! This was not planned as a part of my Mini-Day-Schedule, and as a result, everything has turned into a chaotic MESS!!

     (64)
     I hope that you will pardon me for this, but even the Phone Company, has screwed up in their bookkeeping records and forwarded our last month’s payment, which we “PAID,” and then added it onto THIS month’s payment, which caused it to show TWO MONTH’S of unpaid bills!!

     This has a very strong tendency to make me extremely angry, and I tend to blow off a whole lot of “Extra Hot” STEAM!!

     Don’t worry, — I will cool down and get back to normal real soon. Just keep us in your thoughts, and on your Healing Energy List.
     I will write more later, and as quickly as I can.
     Love to all of you, — Carol and Forest

128. U.S. CONFERENCE OF MAYORS: “WE WILL SUE FCC IF THEY
     ELIMINATE LOCAL CONTROL OVER 5G DEPLOYMENTS”

     TAKE BACK YOUR POWER

     According to pro-industry publication, Smart Cities Dive:

     The U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) said in a statement that it would sue the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) if the commission does not change a proposed policy that would preempt local control in a bid to streamline installation of 5G wireless infrastructure.

     The National Association of Counties is also opposing the proposal, telling POLITICO it would “effectively prevent local governments from properly examining the impact that construction, modification or installation of broadcasting facilities may have on public health, safety and welfare of the local community.”

     The proposal from FCC commissioner Brendan Carr would bar municipal laws prohibiting deployment of 5G small cells and would set deadlines for municipalities to approve or disapprove applications to install small cells or build new poles. The plan is set for a vote on Sept. 26.

     The Dive has already published articles about citizens who aren’t keen on 5G technology or “Smart Cities.” However, they are still pro-industry. Keep that in mind if/when you read their articles.

     Of course, most – but not all – articles published by pro-industry publications are going to be pro-tech everything. And some – but not all – articles published by the mainstream media include inaccurateinformation about harm caused by exposure to technology.

     Regardless, decades of research has already proven that exposure to cell towers and all sources of cell phone and wireless radiation can be harmful and in more ways than cancer risk. That’s why there are an increasing number of American children, teenagers, doctors, environmental organizations, firefighters, municipal organizations, tribal groups and more who aren’t happy AT ALL about having no control over wireless infrastructure installation in front of their homes and throughout in their communities. They are not backing down. One municipality enacted an “urgency ordinance” after it received 145 letters from concerned citizens expressing their worries over new 5G towers.

     The Federal Communications Commission is NOT a health or environmental protection organization. However, their job is to regulate The Telecom Industry (aka Big Wireless). They are supposed to protect the public but they are not. This isn’t a new thing either.

     Activist Post has covered FCC shenanigans many times. Current FCC Commissioner, Brendan Carr, current FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, and former FCC Chairman, Tom Wheeler all seem to have sold out to The Telecom Industry. Many of our elected officials have as well – but fortunately not all of them.

I’m sure the next generation of communications won’t require all this nonsense – or else it will be inert and cannot harm life. Cloaking devices are already available to shield us from the EMF’s. We must do whatever it takes to survive and help create a higher consciousness world for all to live in. Thanks Mark Hamilton and Frank Wallace for giving us Neo-Tech and Neothink!

129. EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP SAYS EXPOSING ‘CORRUPT’ FBI PROBE
     COULD BE ‘CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT’ OF PRESIDENCY
     By John Solomon and Buck Sexton

     TheConservativeTreeHouse
     TheHill
     JOHN SOLOMON INTERVIEWS PRESIDENT TRUMP….
     Posted on September 19, 2018 by Sundance

     John Solomon appeared on Sean Hannity show to discuss his interview with President Trump.

     President Trump in an exclusive interview with Hill.TV said Tuesday he ordered the release of classified documents in the Russia collusion case to show the public the FBI probe started as a “hoax” and that exposing it could become one of the “crowning achievements” of his presidency.

     “What we’ve done is a great service to the country, really,” Trump said in a 45-minute, wide-ranging interview in the Oval Office.

     “I hope to be able to call this, along with tax cuts and regulation and all the things I’ve done … in its own way this might be the most important thing because this was corrupt,” he said.

     Trump also said he regretted not firing former FBI Director James Comey immediately instead of waiting until May 2017, confirming an account his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, gave Hill.TV earlier in the day that Trump was dismayed in 2016 by the way Comey handled the Hillary Clinton email case and began discussing firing him well before he became president.

     “If I did one mistake with Comey, I should have fired him before I got here. I should have fired him the day I won the primaries,” Trump said. “I should have fired him right after the convention, say I don’t want that guy. Or at least fired him the first day on the job. … I would have been better off firing him or putting out a statement that I don’t want him there when I get there.”

     Trump has offered different reasons in the past for his firing of the FBI chief, blaming Comey’s handling of the Clinton case but also linking it to Comey’s actions in the Russia investigation.

     The president also called into question the FBI’s handling of the Russia investigation, again criticizing it for surveilling his campaign.

     He criticizing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court’s approval of the warrant that authorized surveillance of Carter Page, a low-level Trump campaign aide, toward the end of the 2016 presidential race, suggesting the FBI misled the court.

     “They know this is one of the great scandals in the history of our country because basically what they did is, they used Carter Page, who nobody even knew, who I feel very badly for, I think he’s been treated very badly. They used Carter Page as a foil in order to surveil a candidate for the presidency of the United States.”

     As for the judges on the secret intelligence court: “It looks to me, just based on your reporting, that they have been misled,” the president said, citing a series of columns in The Hill identifying shortcomings in the FBI investigation. “I mean I don’t think we have to go much further than to say that they’ve been misled.”

     “One of the things I’m disappointed in is that the judges in FISA didn’t, don’t seem to have done anything about it. I’m very disappointed in that Now, I may be wrong because, maybe as we sit here and talk, maybe they’re well into it. We just don’t know that because I purposely have not chosen to get involved,” Trump said.

     The president spared no words in criticizing Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, lawyer Lisa Page and other FBI officials who started the probe. He recited specific text messages Page and Strzok traded while having an affair and investigating his campaign, arguing the texts showed they condoned leaks and conducted a bogus probe.

     Those texts are to be released as a result of Trump’s announcement on Monday.

     “It’s a hoax, beyond a witch hunt,” he said.

     Trump cited one text released recently in which Strzok and Page appear to discuss getting McCabe to approve an expansion of the Russia case right after Comey is fired.

     “Comey was a bad guy. He gets fired. They only have Andy left because they know they’re doing wrong,” the president said in describing how he felt wronged by the FBI.

     He denounced the FBI for leaking to create what he said was a false narrative against him, saying it appeared to be an “insurance policy” to destroy his presidency if he won.

     “Number one, how illegal is it? And number two, how low is it?” he said.

     “What we have now is an insurance policy,” the president said. “But it has been totally discredited, even Democrats agree that it has been discredited. They are not going to admit to it, but it has been totally discredited. I think, frankly, more so by text than by documents.”

     Trump said he had not read the documents he ordered declassified but said he expected to show they would prove the FBI case started as a political “hoax.”

     “I have had many people ask me to release them. Not that I didn’t like the idea but I wanted to wait, I wanted to see where it was all going,” he said.

     In the end, he said, his goal was to let the public decide by seeing the documents that have been kept secret for more than two years. “All I want to do is be transparent,” he said.

     Asked what he thought the outcome of his long-running fight with the FBI, the president said: “I hope to be able put this up as one of my crowning achievements that I was able to … expose something that is truly a cancer in our country.” END

     I believe we are ready to hear and see the Truth, for a big change. We The People will rise and prevail to the Twelve Visions World described by Mark Hamilton.

     FEMA TO SEND FIRST PRESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY ALERT TEST OUT ON OCTOBER 3RD
     Sep 18, 2018

     The Federal Emergency Management Agency will next month test a new “presidential alert” system that will allow the president to send a message to every phone in the US. The alert is the first nationwide test of the presidential alert test, FEMA said in an advisory, which allows the president to address the nation in the event of a national emergency. Using the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system, anyone with cell service should receive the message to their phone. “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed,” the message will read. Minutes later, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) will broadcast a similar test message over television, radio, and wireline video services. The alert was due to be sent out on Thursday at 2:18pm ET, but will now run on October 3, FEMA said in a tweet.

     FEMA TO SEND ITS FIRST ‘PRESIDENTIAL ALERT’ IN EMERGENCY MESSAGING SYSTEM TEST
     Zack Whittaker
     The Federal Emergency Management Agency will next month test a new “presidential alert” system that will allow the president to send a message to every phone in the US.

     The alert is the first nationwide test of the presidential alert test, FEMA said in an advisory, which allows the president to address the nation in the event of a national emergency.

     Using the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system, anyone with cell service should receive the message to their phone.

     “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed,” the message will read.

     Minutes later, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) will broadcast a similar test message over television, radio, and wireline video services.

     The alert was due to be sent out on Thursday at 2:18pm ET, but will now run on October 3, FEMA said in a tweet.

     Emergency alerts aren’t new and warning systems have long been used — and tested — in the US to alert citizens of local and state incidents, like AMBER alerts for missing children and severe weather events that may result in danger to or loss of life.

     But presidential alerts have yet to be tested. Unlike other alerts, citizens will not be allowed to opt out of presidential alerts.

     Allowing the president to send nationwide alerts was included in the passing of the WARN Act in 2006 under the Bush administration, creating a state-of-the-art emergency alert system that would replace an aging infrastructure. As alarming as these alerts can (and are designed to) be, the system aims to modernize the alerts system for a population increasingly moving away from televisions and towards mobile technology.

     These presidential alerts are solely at the discretion of the president and can be sent for any reason, but experts have shown little concern that the system may be abused.

     But the system isn’t perfect. Earlier this year, panic spread on Hawaii after an erroneous alert went out to residents warning of a “ballistic missile thread inbound.” The message said, “this is not a drill.” The false warning was amid the height of tensions between the US and North Korea, which at the time was regularly testing its ballistic missiles as part of its nuclear weapons program.

     More than 100 carriers will participate in the test, FEMA said. END

     Yeah, right. We know it wasn’t a drill. Direct communication with the Prez … it’s definitely something new in our emerging technological society. I’m grateful to be a member of Neothink Society where we are free to be the person we were meant to be. Thank you, Mark Hamilton and your Father, Dr. Frank Wallace.

131. 9/16/18 News in our local Rapid City Journal: Sanford Labs says they have been a grant of $280 million to research the following questions. ” Do neutrinos explain why the Universe is matter rather than anti-matter,” and “Is there a relation between the stability and the Grand Unification of forces?” The old Home Stake gold mine sure puts out some strange stuff now days!!!
     In other news I heard that if our current president is successful in changing our present money exchange to the gold standard, the price of gold could go as high as $6,000 an ounce. Well, I guess it’s good that our government is spending our tax payers money to address the real problems in this country, Or does it even (anti) matter.

132. SPACEX HAS ANNOUNCED THE FIRST TOURIST TO
     GO TO THE MOON – AND TAKE OTHER PEOPLE WITH HIM

     SCIENCE ALERT
     September 20, 2018

     Elon Musk and his rocket company, SpaceX, have revealed who will fly their spaceship around the Moon for the first time: a Japanese entrepreneur and billionaire named Yusaku Maezawa.

     “Finally I can tell you that I choose to go to the Moon!” Maezawa said during an announcement Monday evening.

     Maezawa revealed that he has purchased all seats on the first crewed flight of SpaceX’s Big Falcon Rocket – a new launch system that’s being designed to colonize Mars.

     Besides himself, Maezawa plans to select six to eight artists to accompany him on his journey around the Moon.

     The artists have not yet been chosen, but part of the project will involve them creating work inspired by their lunar journey after they return to Earth.

     “If you should hear from me, please say yes and accept my invitation. Please don’t say no,” Maezawa said.

     SpaceX did not reveal how much Maezawa paid for the lunar flight, but said it was a significant sum and that he already made a down payment.

     “He’s paying a lot of money that would help with the ship and its booster,” Musk said on Monday.

     “He’s ultimately paying for the average citizen to travel to other planets.”

     The world’s first space tourist

     Maezawa was a skateboarder and drummer in his youth, and founded the custom fashion company Zozo 20 years ago.

     The billionaire has made a name for himself as an art collector. Last year, he spent US$110 million on a 1982 painting by Jean-Michel Basquiat.

     He said that he was inspired to bring a group of renowned artists with him around the Moon after thinking of the art Basquiat might have created had he flown through space.

     “One day when I was staring at his painting, I thought, ‘What if Basquiat had gone to space and had seen the Moon – what wonderful masterpiece would he have created?” Maezawa said.

     If all goes according to plan, Maezawa and his artist crew may become the first-ever private lunar tourists in history.

     The billionaire said he hopes the group will include a musician, sculptor, painter, film director, dancer, photographer, architect, novelist, and fashion designer. He is calling the project #dearMoon.

     The mission is slated to launch as soon as 2023, though Musk said he can’t be sure about that timeline yet.

     “If I had some sort of crystal ball, I’d love to know how long things will take. You have to set some kind of date that’s the ‘things go right’ date. Then of course we have reality, and things do not go right in reality. Usually there are many setbacks and issues,” Musk said.

     He added: “It’s not 100 percent certain that we succeed in getting this to flight … But we’re going to do everything humanly possible to bring it to flight as fast as we can and as safely as we can.”

     Musk described Maezawa as incredibly brave, and said his desire to participate in and pay for this trip restored Musk’s faith in humanity.

     “This is going to be dangerous. This is no walk in the park,” Musk said of the mission.

     An evolving design for BFR

     Musk also revealed some major design changes to the BFR. Instead of standing 347 feet (106 metres) tall, it will be 387 feet (118 metres) tall.

     It will have front actuator fins, as well as three back wings that will function as its landing pads.

     The system’s spaceship, which will ride atop a rocket booster, is expected to carry up to 100 people and 150 tons (136 metric tonnes) of supplies.

     SpaceX is currently prototyping the spaceship and other BFR hardware inside a 20,000-square-foot (1,860 metre square) tent at the Port of Los Angeles – at least until amuch bigger permanent facility is completed.

     The first portion of the system has already been built, Musk said.

     The project is incredibly ambitious and expensive – the total development costs for BFR are somewhere between US$2 billion and US$10 billion, Musk said.

     “It’s hard to say what the development cost is,” he said. “I think it’s roughly US$5 billion”

     Prior to Monday’s announcement, Musk last publicly described the BFR and showed renderings of the system at the 2017 International Aeronautical Congress.

     Although the design for the exterior has been altered since then, Musk said on Monday that SpaceX still only has “some concepts” for the interior of the ship.

     “What is the most fun you can have in zero G?” Musk said when Business Insider asked about the interior design.

     “We’ll do that”

     Aerospace experts who follow Musk and SpaceX’s activities suggest that there could likely be more iterations of the BFR design before the company’s first lunar voyage lifts off the launch pad.

     “I think it is really healthy to see this iterative change happening, because I believe we can assume it is based on actual development and simulation going on,” Greg Autry, the director of the Southern California Spaceflight Initiative, told Business Insider in an email before Musk’s announcement.

     But Musk said “this is the final iteration in terms of broad architectural design.”

     He added that SpaceX plans to shift a majority of the company’s engineering efforts towards BFR by the end of next year, and welcomes the growing competition in the private space race.

133. A MYSTERIOUS PULSAR IS SENDING STRANGE EMISSIONS
     REALLY FAR INTO SPACE

     SCIENCE ALERT
     By: MICHELLE STARR
     SEP 19, 2018

     Astronomers have never seen anything like it! Most stars are just out there in space, doing their star thing, but not the pulsar called RX J0806.4-4123. It’s been caught doing something that’s never been seen before. It’s emitting infrared radiation – and only infrared radiation – at a huge distance.

     Long-distance emission from neutron stars is nothing new. But the fact RX J0806.4-4123 is the first star which has such an emission only in infrared light could mean that it could have new features seen in no other pulsar.

     “This particular neutron star belongs to a group of seven nearby X-ray pulsars – nicknamed ‘the Magnificent Seven’ – that are hotter than they ought to be considering their ages and available energy reservoir provided by the loss of rotation energy,” said astrophysicist Bettina Posselt of Penn State.

     “We observed an extended area of infrared emissions around this neutron star … the total size of which translates into about 200 astronomical units (or 2.5 times the orbit of Pluto around the Sun) at the assumed distance of the pulsar.”

     A pulsar is a type of neutron star, which is what happens when a high-mass star comes to the end of its life cycle. The core collapses, squeezing protons and electrons into neutrons and neutrinos.

     If the star is below about three times the mass of our Sun, the neutrons exert enough pressure to support a neutron star, which also have intense magnetic fields. (If the mass is higher than this, the star collapses into a black hole.)

     These neutron stars spin incredibly rapidly; and, if they are oriented in just the right way, beams of radiation directed by the magnetic field flash past as they spin – like a cosmic lighthouse.

     That’s what makes it a pulsar – basically, a neutron star angled a certain way (but that angle is super useful to astronomers).

     They’re also usually observed in X-ray and radio emissions, since those are the wavelengths in which they tend to be strongest. An infrared signal without the other wavelengths is an oddity.

     The researchers suggested two possibilities they think are the strongest candidates to explain this different emission: a disc of material around the pulsar, or a particular type of nebula.

     “One theory is that there could be what is known as a ‘fallback disc’ of material that coalesced around the neutron star after the supernova,” Posselt said.

     “Such a disc would be composed of matter from the progenitor massive star. Its subsequent interaction with the neutron star could have heated the pulsar and slowed its rotation.

     “If confirmed as a supernova fallback disc, this result could change our general understanding of neutron star evolution.”

     The other explanation is a type of nebula called a pulsar wind nebula. These are found within supernova remnants when a powerful wind from a pulsar blows back the material left over from the star’s explosion, hollowing out a cavity in the nebula.

     But if it is a pulsar wind nebula, it’s of a kind that has never been seen before.

     Pulsar winds are formed by particles accelerated in the electric fields of those neutron stars that have strong magnetic fields, according to Posselt.

     “As the neutron star travels through the interstellar medium at greater than the speed of sound, a shock can form where the interstellar medium and the pulsar wind interact. The shocked particles would then radiate synchrotron emission, causing the extended infrared emission that we see,” Posselt said.

     “Typically, pulsar wind nebulae are seen in X-rays and an infrared-only pulsar wind nebula would be very unusual and exciting.”

     Now for the less exciting news: we may be in for a little bit of a wait to find out for sure. This observation was made with the Hubble Space Telescope’s near-infrared instrument. But Hubble’s primary capabilities are in the ultraviolet and the visible light wavelengths.

     To get more detailed readings, we’ll probably have to wait for the James Webb Space Telescope, which will primarily take observations in infrared.

     And the James Webb Space Telescope isn’t launching until 2021, unless it gets delayed again.

     And now we know that there’s something up there around RX J0806.4-4123 for it to look into to help understand the evolution of neutron stars.

     The team’s research has been published in “The Astrophysical Journal”, and can be read in full via the Hubble website. END

137. We didn’t have science classes that were any more than basic. basic! at Fillmore High in the early 50’s . A couple of years of business school done nothing to improve that knowledge, however I have been fascinated with articles like this one for a long time. I suppose it has to do with my curiosity about how everything works.
     From : Awareness , Active, 6/30/17- by Harley Manson.
     Scientists now believe that the Universe itself is conscious— A new scientific concept has recently come to light which scientists are calling “pansychism” . Pansychism says that the Universe could be capable of consciousness , which could change everything. For quite some time scientists have been working to understand the Universe, where it came from, and why we are here, however they have often come up short until now. The scientist responsible for such a notion is Gregory Matloff and his ideas are shocking to say the least.
     According to Matloff, a physicist at New York City College of Technology, in his published paper, humans could be like the rest of the Universe in substance and in spirit. Futurism reported that a “proto-consciousness field” could extend throughout space basically , in layman’s terms , the entire cosmos could be self aware. Another supporter is Christof Koch of the Allen Institute for brain science.— he says that biological organisms are conscious because when they approach a new situation, they are able to change their behavior in order to thwart a bad situation. Due to this view, he is trying to see if he can measure the level of consciousness a being displays. In order to accomplish this, he will be running a number of experiments , including one that includes wiring the brains of two mice together to see if the information will flow between the two like a fused , integrated system would. “The only dominant theory we have consciousness says that it is associated with complexity– with a systems ability to act upon its own state, and determine it’s own fate”. Koch agrees—“Theory states it could go down to very simple systems. In principle, some purely physical systems that are not biological or organic may also be conscious. As it stands, Panysychism is just in the experimental phase, however , if scientists were able to prove their theory, it could shake the world of science to it’s core. So the question remains, is the entire Universe conscious? Love is everywhere?

138. 9/15/18 Along with all of the bad news of the day including man’s biggest man made hurricane that is now inland in the Carolinas, Face book news says Cancer will kill about 10 million people this year. These figures were up from six years ago when 8.2 million died . These figures comes from the World Health Organization International Agency for Research for Cancer. (IARCS) . They estimate there to be 18.1 million new diagnosis in this physical year of 2018.
     They say it reflects the world aging and growing population, and that about every one in 8 men and one in 11 women will eventually die from cancer. The big Pharma must be dancing in the aisles!!!!! Lung cancer is the most common , followed by Breast, colorectal, prostrate and stomach. Nothing in the report indicated any huge breakthroughs in the cards right at the moment.
     Bill Gates recently spoke out that we could very well have a pandemic virus that could kill as many as 30 million in a period of 6 months. He went on to warn us that individual and “groups” could create a weaponized disaster that could easily spread across the globe, perhaps as a new flu. Wonder what Bill knows that we don’t know? is he possibly a somewhat reluctant member of a new world order and could be aware of some new and exotic disease that “they” have prepared for us now? So what else did Bill have to say? He stated ” In the biological threats, that sense of urgency is lacking” he said ” The world needs to prepare for pandemics in the same serious way it prepares for war.” Those two things alone, not including accidents, weather catastrophes, starvation, famine and “natural” deaths (Yes I know, in Neo-think there is no such thing as a normal or natural death) would de populate the planet by 40 million plus. but then I guess that’s just a drop in the bucket , right? It’s been 5 years now since my daughter Cheryl was diagnosed with Chronic Q. Fever (E-burritis), a disease or virus created as a biological chemical weapon , and not one word has ever surfaced that I can find about any possible antidote or cure. Let there be love.

139. 9/14/18 The Week end approaches again. I want to try something different tonight. Again, Thanks to whoever is keeping this line of communication open, Tonight I thought I would write an open letter, or as the late Joan Rivers used to say “Can we talk?”
     Call me Mr. Grumpy Pants, but I want to voice my opinion about the state of our nation. To start with, I am Eighty years old , but I desire to stick around at least long enough for our head mentor and leader Steve “Digger” Fagan to teach me some of those fancy dance moves he knows, so that I can ask Miss Kay out on a date on her hundredth and twentieth birthday ! Well it never hurts to ask! Now for my serious side. Our country appears to be going to hell in a hand basket. ( I looked that quote up and there are numerous explanations where it came from, but most agree that it simply means going to hell a lot faster and without any effort.) As I said before, I am only Eighty but I’ve seen a thing or two and done a thing or two. What alarms me most at present is all this news, fake or not, is allowing a very small minority of our population, primarily the elite, politicians, religious hucksters and some assorted other neo-cheaters,within our own organization, tear us apart. I am extremely proud to be a member of this ” Face to the World” society, by joining in unity with so many like-minded others to overcome the illusionists of darkness and all their lies and deceit. And don’t forget greed! Nothing is sacred to them, not the living Earth or water or the air that we breathe. Being from the part of the country where the Civil War was both North and South in 1861, we again have brothers against brothers , both sides believing they are right. In recent years I have not been shy or bashful about what I know about Neo-Tech , my own family telling me I am nuts, because they are afraid……. Yes, fear! Not willing to accept the reality of present day, never mind the future. My personal observations have shown me that they aren’t as willing to attend church services and Sunday school as they once was. They still use in daily conversation that churchy terminology, but come Sunday, they can be found dining on breakfast at the local I-hop while services are going on at the church. I do have a few die-hards, (they attend church on Saturday) who bombasted me and insulted my intelligence on occasion for being real and honest. That’s my integration for now. Love your neighbor but love yourself more.

140. TRUMP ISSUES NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS ADVISORY!

     OperationFreedom
     WhiteHouse.gov

     PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION ON NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS MONTH, 2018
     LAND & AGRICULTURE
     Issued on: August 31, 2018

     National Preparedness Month is a time to focus our attention on the importance of preparing our families, homes, businesses, and communities for disasters that threaten our lives, property, and homeland. During this time, we also honor the brave men and women who selflessly respond to crises and disasters, rendering aid to those in need. These first responders, who work tirelessly to safeguard our Nation and protect our citizens, deserve our utmost gratitude and appreciation.

     Over the past year, communities nationwide and across the Territories have witnessed and endured damage from multiple hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters. The historic hurricane season of 2017 included three catastrophic storms that made landfall within a month, and was followed by a destructive series of wildfires in California. Combined, these natural disasters affected 47 million people and tens of thousands were mobilized to provide aid, comfort, and assistance. We are also especially mindful of those currently affected by ongoing wildfires in California, Oregon, and Colorado. In spite of tremendous challenges, the resilience of the American people continues to prevail.

     Tragedies are somber reminders that preparedness is a shared responsibility and that it is critical to maintain readiness. All Americans can prepare for potential disasters by developing and practicing a family emergency response plan, assembling a disaster supply kit, signing up for alerts on mobile devices, setting aside emergency savings, and maintaining adequate insurance policies for their homes and businesses. The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Ready Campaign outlines other important steps to best prepare for a major disaster.

     This month, I encourage all Americans to take the opportunity to ensure they have an emergency response plan in place and ready to be properly executed. Emergencies and disasters test the resilience and strength of families, communities, and our Nation. It is impossible to avoid every challenge and threat, but we can and must prepare for them. By doing so, we can help protect our communities and save lives.

     NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 2018 as National Preparedness Month. I encourage all Americans, including Federal, State, and local officials, to take action to be prepared for disaster or emergency by making and practicing their emergency response plans. Each step we take to become better prepared makes a real difference in how our families and communities will respond and persevere when faced with the unexpected.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of August, in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.

     DONALD J. TRUMP

143. 9/11/18
     Thank you Judith for saying what I was unable to about the event that happened on this date 17 years ago. Also, thanks for posting. It would appear that it’s just you and me kid!!!!! Unlike so many who say they remember exactly where they were and what they were doing, after racking my brain, I haven’t a clue, but those images I remember seeing on TV are still as vivid in my memory as if it were yesterday. Even as I watched, I was thinking this can not be happening, and something is not right there. This was before I understood about illusions and masked truths created by the elite and other neo-cheaters, to divide and conquer the anti-civilization. That day we went to war again, not with guns and bullets, but with doubt, fear and consciousness, and a division is still sweeping over our great land like a swarm of locusts. So much in fact that it’s again brother versus brother, but the biggest battle is good versus evil. All the more reason to love your fellow man right now. Thanks again Judith my friend.

     DONALD TRUMP IMPLIES 9/11 WAS A CONTROLLED DEMOLITION

     COLLECTIVE EVOLUTION
     September 11, 2018

     THE FACTS: Donald Trump’s comments on 9/11 suggest that bombs were involved in taking down the World Trade towers. He joins a long and growing list of people suggesting that this was actually a controlled demolition.

     REFLECT ON:Why does the US continue to hide truth about 9/11? Why do they refuse to do a proper investigation?
     The destruction of the World Trade Towers on 9/11 is an event that continues to spark our awakening to the malice contained at the heart of several governments. These governments are dangled from a string by the corporations who sit above them, who are in turn dangled by the financial elite who sit above them.

     This is important to know. Prominent politicians have referenced this ‘secret government’ for decades, but when a topic like the ‘deep state‘ is presented on mainstream media, it’s pushed as a conspiracy theory. While this can get frustrating, a growing number of people are seeing through the veil more than ever.

     THE END OF OUR INNOCENCE
     Prior to 9/11, many global citizens, especially American citizens, could not fathom that their government could do anything so barbaric, so unethical, and so destructive. It’s quite ironic that for years, Western media has falsely accused several politicians of other nations of murdering their own people, the latest example being the chemical gas attacks blamed on Syrian president Bashar al Assad. But many people are seeing through this, and coming to understand how false flag terrorism has been used a lot throughout history, both prior to and post 9/11. That said, no Event has had the Awakening effect that 9/11 had and continues to have.

     Today, we have thousands of architects and engineers, many academicians and even peer-reviewed studies that show there is no possible way that planes could have brought down the two towers, as well as the official story about the collapse of building number seven, which wasn’t even hit by a plane. This is why the global citizenry, and judging by the latest polls, the American citizenry, do not believe the official story put out by the government regarding what really happened on that day. It’s not because we are stupid, it’s not because we are ‘conspiracy theorists,’ it’s simply because we questioned what was being told to us via mainstream media, and decided to investigate for ourselves.

     DONALD TRUMP WEIGHS IN
     U. S. Politicians and others within government have not really questioned what happening on 9/11–except for Donald Trump. One of his engineers was the architect of the building. Here’s what he had to say, taken from this interview:

     “It wasn’t architectural defect…The World Trade Center was always known as a very very strong building…Don’t forget that building took a bomb in the basement (1993). Now the basement is the most vulnerable place because that’s your foundation, and it withstood that…I got to see that area, about three or four days after it too place because one of my structural engineers actually took me for a tour, because he did the building and I said “I can’t believe it. The building was standing solid and half of the columns were blown out…So, this was an unbelievably powerful building.”

     After talking about the structure of the building, and the way it was built with the steel on the outside (first building ever to do so for structural purposes …) and how it’s not possible for a plane to destroy that, he went on to say:

     “How could a plane, even a 767 or a 747 or whatever it might have been, how could it possibly go through the steel? I happen to think they had not only a plane but they had bombs that exploded almost simultaneously because I just can’t imagine anything being able to go through that wall….I just think that there was a plane with more than just fuel. Obviously they were very big planes, they were going very rapidly…You’re talking about taking out steel, the heaviest caliber steel that was used on the building. These buildings were rock solid.”

     Trump also stated the fact that the US government had knowledge before the attack before it happened, and they still did not stop it. He also mentioned that he saw a big hole some of the steel, hinting to explosions.

     Trump has been quite outspoken regarding corporate control over the government, as well as all of the deceit that goes on as to how our government has been hijacked by rogue groups within the government. It’s easy to see why he was and is completely vilified. It had nothing to do with racism or sexism, and if you think this, you’re simply regurgitating what you get from television programming, and have no understanding of how politics works. We go into it deeper here:

     THE DEEP TRUTH BEHIND WHY TRUMP IS PRESIDENT!

     OTHER COMMENTATORS ON THE DEEP STATE
     Below is a great quote from Robert W. Welch Jr, given way back in 1958, addressing the Deep State.

     “So brush the insiders dust out of your eyes, my friends, and the communist soap suds out of your Brain, and ask yourselves in all honesty, what on Earth is wrong with the United States simply minding its own business, or with having its foreign policy function primarily for the safety and benefit of the American people? Which is exactly what we had done for the first 140 years of our existence as a nation, to the incredible advantage of ourselves and everybody else, everybody, that is, except a numerically small clique of power-lusting conspirators who have somehow inflicted themselves on a gullible world.”

     The American empire has had a history of infiltrating and destroying other countries through unethical means (terrorism) and then stepping in to be a ‘savior,’ imposing their will on others. This has been done through the most savage means, with 9/11 being one small example compared to what they’ve done overseas.

     The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government, which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation … The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties … [and] control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. – John F. Hylan was Mayor of New York City from 1918-1925/ But it is not representative of America, but rather the corruption within politics and the deep state that in no way represents the will of the American people.

     Steve R. Pieczenik is one of many people from ‘within’ these ranks who is currently speaking about this. He’s a former United States Department of State official and has been involved with the intelligence community for years. He’s been through and worked within multiple administrations. He has been providing updates on what is happening, the deep state that exists within the American government and how there is currently a ‘battle’ between the Trump administration and the deep state. You can find those interviews online everywhere, he conducted most of them with Alex Jones. He’s also been outspoken and addressed that Trump has already commented on 9/11.

     TRUMP SURVIVED THE ATTACKS
     This is why Trump has been vilified. I’ll leave you with this great quote from author Richard Dolan, taken from one of his 2016 articles.

     For sure, the power elite closed ranks and did everything possible to ensure a victory for Clinton. This included not only the Democratic party (which previously played dirty pool against Bernie Sanders), but the entire mainstream media machine, the financial community, the EU, and even the Republican party itself. If nothing else, I had concluded that the media alone had done a sufficient job of demonizing Trump – multiple negative headlines daily for more than a year – to make him unelectable to the American people.

     For more than a year, we have been told that Trump is a racist, sexist, xenophobe, liar, cheat, and narcissist. The attack bears all the marks of a coordinated effort among the major news outlets: CNN, NYT, WaPo, HuffPo, USA Today, and the rest. It reminded me very much of the concerted media attack against Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff which culminated earlier in 2016 in her impeachment and removal from power. In the case of Rousseff, we see what has been alternately described as a soft coup or a Wall Street coup, rather along the lines of the “color revolutions” of a few years earlier (which are now largely understood as CIA-NGO orchestrated). In both cases, pretexts were created and hammered home by an insistent media that whipped up public opinion. In Brazil, it worked. It seemed like it would work in the U.S.

     It is important to understand why Trump was demonized. To be sure, his character makes it easy. There is no shortage of narcissistic, sexist, or otherwise offensive statements in his repertoire from which to draw. But I have never and will never believe this is why he was demonized. Ultimately, Trump is a disruptor, and his disruption falls squarely against the two key pillars of the American ruling elite’s ideology: neoliberalism and neoconservatism.

     There are many reasons to believe that Trump’s survival is a sign that the deep state is losing its power, and that the battle that Steve Pieczenik talks about is going in favor of the Trump administration and their allies. If so, 2018 might be the last year we have to pass through 9/11 without the full and incontestable knowledge about what actually happened. END

     In the rising consciousness field of our current world, the light of truth is flushing out the terrors and lies of the darkness – and I believe this truth also will rise – and I believe that Trump is our true hero and greatest living Patriot of our times on the world stage who will be the one to make sure it happens.

     Prepare for coming great changes and massive quantum jumps and evolutionary changes to be triggered by these long-held secrets and evil being brought to the light of day for all to see. If this horrible day of infamy all who were alive in the U.S. remember with great clarity was the greatest ‘day of Awakening’ in our history – I ask what in the heck do we have coming? Will we make it through the next big disaster to trigger our Awakening the rest of the way? Get ready for a wild ride – the predicted future and really weird times are definitely upon us! Our belief must be strong and visualizing this happening SAFELY on our Event Horizon. My homage to 9/11.

     Love you all … so much going on in my life I can’t even imagine being able to describe it! Later,

     Judith

146. I can’t believe this short poem was written explicitly for Neo-Tech- Neo-Thinkers, but I liked what it said. The best I could tell it was written by the daughter of a Nigerian born British singer who has written some great music. Any way, here it is. “I understood myself
     only after I destroyed
     myself, and only in
     the process of fixing
     myself, did I know who
     I really was. Sade Andria Zabada
     What I found most interesting about this, is not the poem itself, but the comments from the readers themselves.
     So many of them claimed that you cant fix your self , that only an unseen imaginary god has the power to do that.
     I am not a judge or a jury but chances are if that is really what you believe, then your probably not reading this page to start with. Last night Digger asked the question to all who were listening, “Is it fear”? that keeps people who want to be God-men( Zons) and still keep feeling the need to hang on to the biblical god also. I don’t know how to answer that, so will do it with a Helen Keller quote. ” Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than out right exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.”

147. While still on the subject of mysticisms, From: SOS Roots, by Dr. Frank Wallace comes this foot note.
     “Most forms of “scientific ” mysticisms reflect wishful desires to discover outside forces or “authorities” to take over the thinking tasks of the human mind. The mystics wish is to be automatically and effortlessly guided to knowledge and through life by external factors, but no effortlessly guide exists. No outside force can take over and do what the mind and the individual must do for him or herself. Consider the president of the United States following the stupidity of astrology, or consider the government of the USSR directing funds for “research ” efforts in ESP. Psychokinesis, PK, and other Pseudosciences ! Indeed , through such mystical stupidities. the intellectual importance of those governments and their leaders are clowns. They are already being laughed out of existence through Neo-Tech competition,

148. TO: Elijah Lenix,
     Thank you for posting on this site. It has been my wish that we could revive this vessel of opportunity for continuous information and a link to other members of the society. Again!
     You have my eternal gratitude, and I would look forward to your integrations, (I have been saying “Eternal” most of my life, and it just now occurred to me , is that a mystical word?) I did look up the definition in Webster’s and they say it means everlasting and perpetual, and describes Eternity as Infinite duration or immortality, so I guess I am alright, Again Thanks.

149. Mysticism is a killer. Forced government control & propaganda affects us all. All this usurpation, coercion, cajoling, and beguiling takes place on this land by those leaders that have a position that just shouldn’t be. It hurts… Lives are destroyed by these destructive influences seen in some of these areas of poverty. And the “mainstream” news, music, and programming is like a foisted conditioning tool forcing us to accept information that either keeps us in fear, numbs us, or perpetuates that idea that violence will forever be a part of this civilization. This is indeed the Anti-Civilization. We are still here! And our mission is to BREAK FREE! Resist mysticism from within & REJECT Neo-cheating from without! It’s hard. It’s a challenge we all face in this life RIGHT NOW! I know because I’ve been battling this “force” ever since I felt a malevolent presence in life. I couldn’t exactly lay a finger on this “force” until I was contacted by this Society of Secrets a few years ago & obtained the literature that confirmed to me that THIS ISN’T THE WAY WE ARE MEANT TO LIVE! Ever since I’ve been contacted and exposed to the literature; I felt my life being pushed & pulled in 2 directions. I would perform the actions that I believe would come true in the up and coming Civilization of The Universe. And then i would have the world around me (The Anti-Civilization around me) pull me… Trying to keep me from this metamorphosis… this Neo-Think mentality shift. This regression occurs by the influence of some friends (At least for me. The people I have love for), these religions that people have gravitated towards despite the fact of their mind limiting, decision limiting, fear enforcing means for years, tv programs & films with the subliminal messaging (also “mainstream” music videos) that hit our conscience & sub-conscience in a destructive manor, and I’m sure ya’ll know some other examples. But me, personally, I’m gradually projecting the image to my friends that I’m undergoing a change & I’ve been seeing my influence make an impact in some of their lives. But aside from all that I stated…
     I came back to this site because It’s been a while since I’ve visited. This will be my first ever post on here. I’m tired of the corruption, destruction, and malevolent nature of this A.C.. This is indeed a battle. A battle for genuine wealth, health, & peace on Earth. A battle for us to us to experience moral, guiltless pleasures & unprecedented happiness that we ever so long to experience. We want to love our lives…don’t we? I mean, we want to genuinely LOVE our lives right? And what we do? Loving what we can create without regulations & laws holding us back? Experiencing that authentic romantic love with a partner we never knew could exist; Don’t we want to aim towards that?
     We should all hug ourselves… We’ve been through so much. The innocence we’ve lost due to the coercing, mystic forces of the A.C.. Growing up in a world where we never even thought of leaving…until those forces started to affect us at the degree it did. But WE ARE STRONG! We are the most PROMINENT BEING IN THE UNIVERSE! We have the power of choice… We have the power to create. It’s in us… Yes we are flawed…
     But hug yourself. We are capable of surpassing such behaviors that keep us stagnant.
     Hug yourself…
     Shed a tear… and lets keep our VISION & MOTIVES towards the C of U!

150. Another quote you say? This one is just plain fact! Henry Ford said. ” You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. With it, there is accomplishment . Without it there are only alibis.”

151. (Mysticisms) Notes from 9/11/15. You could write a whole book on this very subject. As Mark says, Repetitiveness.
     The mental condition that seeks guidance and answers from external authority, such as god ,pope, politicians, neo-cheaters .
     There is camouflaged mysticism and deception used to drain, harm, and kill humans.
     It is the creation of problems where none exist.
     It is a collective disease etc, an act of war on rational thinking, honest efforts, prosperous happiness and life itself.\
     It is “The Stupidness disease!”
     It is both an individual and a collective disease that puts people in coffins and societies on crutches,
     It leaves empty heads and instills sour faces on people .
     It is the impurities of the mind.
     These are some of the reason this organization is not moving forward.
     LOVE one another.

152. 9/3/2018. Hi any fellow Neo-thinkers .
     I don’t recall ever hearing this, but it’s pretty cool.
     “Common sense is genius dressed in it’s working clothes.” OK, I did look it up and it’s a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. So, what if anything did I learn this long week-end? Well, I read something that one of my grand daughters said that impressed me. About sending her “baby” off to pre-school, she said “We can’t slow time down but we sure have learned how to savor every minute.” A conscious moment,an honest thought and words worth repeating. Good Advice Kid! I just finished chapter 18, The Neo-think Super puzzle for the umpteenth time, and like today’s politicians, Hammerschmidt is a great spin doctor who takes and quotes things out of context and paints illusions, and presents himself as the brave and courageous fighter of evil All for the good of those poor abused children. Unfortunately every body who is running for public office from the dog catcher to the President are using those same tactics to get elected. People used to elect those who they believed to be honest and morally good, but now its “What are you going to do for ME?” Otherwise, I don’t care. Who remembers seeing those pictures in New York City at the end of WW11, and everyone was in the streets and the confetti was flying everywhere and everybody was celebrating victory, and there was no such thing as color or creed , none of that mattered but love for there fellow man. I like to think that is how we as Neo-thinkers feel toward each other. How can we capture that true honest love and exhilaration again? . We ALL know the answer to that,

153. 9/1/2018
     THREE times I tried to submit an integration regarding the late Senator John McCain but failed. You know me, determined! Some would call it just plain stubborn and bullheaded. It’s Your Choice.
     Dear Senator McCain , Thank you for your service. I never followed your political career although I have heard that you were a maverick and were looked on with distain within your own party. I don’t give a damn about that , but you sir, earned every veteran’s respect and admiration for the sacrifice you made for your country, and if they failed to see that , then you certainly earned mine. I salute you Sir. Rest in Peace. It’s your turn.

154. Wayne, Thanks for your comments, they mean a lot to me. Nothing wrong with your sense of humor, we all need one. Hang in there my friend, I am here for you if you ever need it. Thanks for coming on all the calls lately, means a lot.

     Hi Charlie Moore! Since I have not been able to attend your and Juanita’s Prime Lit. call due to early physical therapy and Drs. calls, I decided recently to use your questionnaire as a home study coarse. It’s a perfect way to improve the Neo-Tech knowledge . Today I read all about implosions and explosions and the life cycle of a googolth. Also recently Digger has been explaining that we should work on our word vocabulary to sound like the intelligent geniuses we are, so here are a few new definitions we might consider. For Instance, I may not know exactly how to describe a googolth cycle but basically it is the life cycle of the Universe being shrunk to the size of a pin head (OR) just how many times the speakers on open line stayed on the subject right after Steve had just said “please stay on the subject matter , Please.” A nano-second is a billionth of a second ( OR) . The time it takes me to down that first cup of Folgers in the morning( OR) The time it takes me to get ready when someone says “Do you wanna go to Millstone for breakfast this morning? “. Anyway, I appreciate the hard effort you guys put into making me a better person. Sorry about the attempt at humor. Keep up the good work, Your devoted listener, and no, I am working on being my own GOD-(ZON) man who is a little rough and torn around the edges, but even for me there is still hope because I am full of love and compassion for my fellow man.

156. 8/27/18 I was meandering along today, looking for something to post and stumbled across this bit of info. If you are a fan of a certain Palomino Blonde lady in Austin, this is right down your alley. I happen to be one of her greatest fans and The School of Genius. So, chances are you and others such as myself, have been feeling like jumping the fence lately and wanting to get out of Dodge, some recent findings as to why we are feeling that way this last couple of weeks, it’s been reported that our very own “Mother Earth”s frequency and vibration has shifted up three times during that period of time. They are saying that the frequency resonance of the Earth has jumped from 7.82 Hertz to 14 Hertz. Every time this has happened, which has been every 3600 years, there has been an evolutionary jump in human kind’s development. All these talks that Judith has been telling us about is manifesting right before our eyes, and in my case, leaving me extremely tired and blurry eyed. This subject is way too long and perhaps way too deep for me to understand completely, but the part that interests me the most is that we are spiritual beings having a human experience instead of the other way around, and we come from a realm of pure love and an abundance of prosperity, joy, peace and freedom with a co-creative power to instantly manifest what ever we desire. Our human life allows us to experience lessons at a practical level with feelings and emotions. and every incident in our life is an experience in that our higher spirit self (soul) wants us to feel with knowingness. I hope I got most of this right, and you may find it informative. There are many other aspects to this, but will quit here, and wish you Love!

     Todays integration may seem a little off the wall for me, but bear with me.
     Some of our fears are “dumb” fears. Like if I haven’t taken the time to post anything on this page this week, and therefore I am not only letting myself down but anyone who may read it. One thing that has stuck in my lopsided two chamber sometimes bicameral brain ALL this week was a statement made by Steve’ Digger” Fagan earlier in the week when he was referring to the future of Neothink and the TVP. when he asked “Are we going to continue to talk about it, or are we going to do something about it.???? Not only could I feel the sincerity, frustration and pain in his voice but I felt it in my heart. Questions that came to mind, Are we no better than our parents and ancestors who have left us a legacy of their standards and sub-standards of stagnation for us to endure? Surely not all of the role models in our lifetime have reached goals beyond our comprehension! Has the age of this membership been so brain washed that we are unable to make “The revolutionary Jump” into a new mind of the future? Something beyond individual power thinking may be needed to motivate this membership but we aren’t supposed to believe in miracles. I choose to believe our task is slow and not moving at a pace it should, but it is still possible.

158. Hi : My post today ties into last nights Prime Cure call and why it is so difficult as a small society full of geniuses to fight the injustices of the A/C world while trying to fulfill our goals of extending life by means of a cure for aging and Biological Immortality.
     Below is a blog posted on FB by Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson. The question posed to him was “What is the most astounding fact you can share about the Universe?” This was his answer, ” The most astounding fact is the fact that knowledge that the atoms that comprise life on Earth, the atoms that make up the human body are traceable to crucibles. (definition of crucibles: A vessel of a very refractory material as porcelain used for melting and calcining a substance that requires a high degree of heat OR a severe test) , That cooked light elements into heavy elements in their core. Under extreme temperatures and pressures , these stars, the high mass among them went unstable in their later years. They collapsed and exploded , scattering their enriched guts across the galaxie: guts made of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and all the fundamental ingredients of life itself . These ingredients become part of gas clouds that condense , collapse, form the next generation of solar systems. Stars with orbiting planets and those planets now have the ingredients for life itself. So when I look up at the night sky, and I know, yes we are part of the Universe, we are in this Universe, but more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up. Many people feel small, cause they’re small and the Universe is big, but I feel big because my atoms come from those stars.”
     This statement brought on one of the largest public out cry’s that I have seen on any FB posts, and the variety of those responses are shocking but mostly it proves that the A/C is still alive but very very ill! Love.love,love!

159. Thank you Forest and Carol for your kind words. I also listen and agree with your open line integrations . I perfectly understand about the eye sight problem as I have had lens transplants myself several (5?) years ago, but struggle some days to focus very long while reading and writing. It does seem that you and Carol seem to be coming along possibly better than before, proving that as a group we can reach out to each other and distribute the power within ourselves to heal . Every thing ,,except for the Big Bang maybe, starts with small but deliberate steps and over time we can use our power to heal the very bruised and bleeding Universe. Thanks to our friend Judith who has suffered with her personal battles, but continues to lift the spirits and consciousness of others including myself. Hope you don’t feel offended when I say ” I love you guys”.

160. HI WAYNE,
     i HAVE BEEN READING ALL OF YOUR LATEST POSTS ON THIS SITE, AND I MUST SAY THAT YOU SPEAK AND WRITE OF THESE EVERYDAY HAPPENINGS WITH AS MUCH ACCURACY AS i MIGHT DO, AND i AGREE WITH YOU 100%.
     THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN,. IT MEANS A WHOLE LOT TO ME. MY DEAR FRIEND.

     IT IS NOW MY BEDTIME, (8:30 P.M.) — SO i’M SIGNING OFF UNTIL TOMORROW, OR AT THE TIME AND DAY WHEN I CAN FIND THE TIME TO DO SO.

     LOVE TO YOU AND CHERYL.

     CAROL AND FOREST

161. 8/18/18 That date with all the 8’s in it.
     I don’t watch or listen to a lot of news now days. As a Neo-thinker, it’s our job to separate the “fake news” from the real news. Occasionally though, I make a trip around the channels to see what is being reported. NPR and BBC seem to be the least bias, but then it’s back to METV and the likes of WKRP , Cincinnati . If you must submit yourself to media torture, at least do it with a smile on your face. Watching some of the old time comedies are a reminder to find a reason to say I love you every single day , and if you can’t just say it out loud, at least imply it.
     Something that not only disturbs me today, but also peeks my curiosity is how and why the children and teens are disappearing into the seemingly abyss, and the thought has passed through my yet not fully developed two-sided bicameral brain that if a full blown ascension were to occur today, they would be able to take all the good people up in a string of VW micro-buses, that’s how much sin and corruption we have on the face of this planet today. Our oceans are full of man made trash, our lands are being desecrated for profits that fill the pockets of the politicians and the wealthy usurpers commonly known as the parasitical elite. History and science tells us that every so often our Earth, our World, our Universe will remain, but goes through a cleansing stage, and when too much garbage appears, it starts the cleaning process all over again. Perhaps that is what we are hearing now as all those rumblings, that we are witnessing now in the distance , are growing louder each day. Guess I didn’t do much justice to Neothink today, but at least it has taught me awareness . It is up to us as self-leaders to change our world so that we all can live the life we are supposed to live, and find peace and harmony , and most of all, love.

     Good Bye Uncle Paul, he was in his 90’s and his daughter said he was in the late stages of dementia. I will always remember the 70’s and 80’s when the CB base at the Menard residence was known as “Malfunction Junction” and you will be missed. With Love as usual.

162. Part 2 ” From: Elysium Health.
     NAD+ are the initials for Nicotinamide Adenine dinucleotide. You can’t live more than 30 seconds without this coenzyme as it is the most important part of all living cells. They say this is the closest to the fountain of youth so far. It is most critical for regulating cellular aging and maintaining the whole body. The levels of NAD+ in animals and humans diminish significantly over time and researchers found that re-upping NAD+ can make one look and act younger, (In mice) and within a couple of hours , the levels in the mice reversed to the point that the researchers could no longer tell the difference between the tissues of a 2 year old and a 4 month one. The scientist who discovered this said his father was 78 years old , and after taking the pill he talks faster and feels sharper and younger. “He’s 78, and used to act Eeyore, now he’s going 6 day hikes and traveling the world.” (Hope he is spreading a little love along the way.

163. Friday 8/17/18 Today’s post will be in two parts. The subject is NAD+. To be quite honest, I am not sure if could explain all the technical jargon involved in this version of science, nor will I try to convince anyone that I do.
     However the media has been releasing some info with a catch line that says Scientists are claiming there is an Anti-Aging pill on the horizon. From my perspective I think that would be great! Even better than great!!!! That in my lifetime our country ,our planet, even the Universe could overcome all the obstacles that we in Neothink refer to as mysticisms such as the parasitical elite, corrupt governments, organized religions, and any other external influences and authorities, and let life (The single most important thing in the world) flow naturally and free as it is supposed to. No doubt the FDA, EPA, and CDC and other agencies will be standing in line to put there stamp of disapproval on it ,but we must continue to have hope.

164. 8/16/18 Good morning ! Sorry, I have been remiss in listening to the nightly calls this week. A poor excuse is probably worth less than none at all, but we have had house guests all week, including four year old’s .Not being of sound body and mind, my concentration and listening ability has been greatly diminished. So today I decided to wing it. Repetitiveness yes! Numbers, How do numbers affect our lives? So here goes nothing!!
     From the 12 Visions World.———Universal wealth, health and peace. Frees us from the insidious rule of man and his illusions:
     The 12 visions
     Vision One: Hope! In this world- NOW!
     Vision Two: Growing exhilaration! Live the life you were meant to live.
     Vision Three: Feel extraordinary!
     Vision Four: Cure Aging- Eradicate death—Biological Immortality!
     Vision Five : Get the job of your dreams!
     Vision Six: Start the Company you always wanted!
     Vision Seven: Embrace the lover of your fantasies!
     Vision Eight: Diet down to the body you always envied!
     Vision Nine: Become a Genius!!!!
     Vision Ten: Surround yourself with geniuses!
     Vision Eleven : Ride a prosperity wave that will make you a millionaire!!!
     Vision Twelve; Enjoy perfect physical and mental health. !!!!!!

     I am aware that the TVP is on hold right now, but as I was typing and concentrating on the words above, I couldn’t help but get a little excited at the prospects of such an ideal world.
     Moving on. The (7) Seven immediate effects of the TVP with it’s prime law.
     (1) The First and foremost IMMEDIATE effect: End of poverty!
     (2) Second stunning effect: Rapid eradication of many diseases!
     (3) Third welcomed effect: Eradication of terrorism and crime!
     (4) Fourth needed effect: Minimizing unemployment!
     (5) Fifth effect: Greatly improve quality of life!
     (6) Sixth effect: would be a superior quality of education!
     (7) Seventh effect: Quickly stop America’s fall into insolvent bankruptcy!

     I want to finish this off with one more set of Sevens not in the Neothink books.
     These are seven things you should have already learned in life.
     (1) Not everyone will treat you the way you deserve to be treated.
     (2) Sometimes bad things happen to good people.
     (3) There’s no point in stressing about the past or worrying about the future.
     (4) Good friends will get you through the hard times.
     (5) Every challenge you have ever faced you have overcome, and there’s no reason to believe you wont again.
     (6) You have a hell of a lot to be grateful in life.
     (7) Believing in yourself is the key to a better life.
     Thanks for reading and remember to have a little LOVE in your heart.

     HI WAYNE, AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS POSTING ON THIS SITE.
     FOR QUITE A LONG WHILE NOW, CAROL AND i HAVE BEEN RUNNING TO APPOINTMENTS AND OTHER NEEDFUL ERRANDS, AS WELL AS CONTINUING MY EFFORTS TO GET ON AS MANY MENTOR CALLS AS i POSSIBLY CAN.

     TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE READING ASSIGNMENTS FOR EACH OF THESE CALLS IS A VERY DIFFICULT CHALLENGE FOR ME AT THIS TIME, BECAUSE MY VISION HAS BEEN DETERIORATING TO THE POINT THAT EVERYTHING GETS “BLURRED” IN A VERY SHORT TIME. THIS BLURRED VISION TAKES QUITE A WHILE TO SUBSIDE, AND I JUST HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE READING THAT I REALLY WANT TO GET DONE.

     I HAVE FOUND A SOURCE OF INFORMATION WHICH PROMISES TO RESTORE MY VISION TO THE 20/20 CAPABILITY, BUT AGAIN, TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH ALL THE READING IS VERY DIFFICULT. HOWEVER, i AM MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO GET ALL OF IT DONE.

     EVERYTHING TAKES TIME, AND IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO “NOT BE ABLE” TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYTHING THAT USED TO BE SO EASY FOR ME TO DO.

     I CONTINUE MY CARE, CONCERN, AND LOVE FOR ALL OF YOU.

     SINCERELY, AND WITH MUCH LOVE, — CAROL AND FOREST

166. Note to self and any readers.. I need to start editing my posts for errors. My last post had several errors in it. The last line was supposed to say to NOT let any outside influences and authorities guide you . and the very last line also had an extra “to” in it. My apologies. Wayne.

     Another reason it is hard to grow the society!
     “Habit rules the unreflecting herd”. William Wordsworth. Thanks again.

167. Some times I post articles on FB just so I can save them or read them when the time is right. Evidently some A/C people take that as a way to insult another’s intelligence. That was exactly what occurred this past week. First I will give you the article followed with the insults and scrutiny from others on my FB page.
     “Scientists found that the soul doesn’t die—-It goes back to the Universe.” According to two leading scientists , the human brain is, in fact, a ‘biological computer’ and the consciousness of people is a program run by the quantum computer located inside the brain that even continues after we die. As experts explain it,; “After people die, their soul comes back to the universe , and it does not die.” The debate about the existence of the soul and whether it is immortal or dies with the person is an endless story that for centuries has occupied the time of the great thinkers of universal history. It’s mysterious nature continues to fascinate different areas of science, but now a group of researchers has discovered new truth about it. the soul does not die; it returns to the universe. This is all according to Dr. Stuart Hameroff, an American Physicist and Emeritus in the Department of Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Sir Roger Penrose , a mathematical physicist at Oxford University , bot of whom argue that the soul is maintained in micro-tubules of brain cells. The two scientists refer to this process as “Orchestrated0 0bjective Reduction”, or “Orch-OR.” Allegedly, when human beings are “clinically dead”, microtubules in the brain lose their quantum state but are still able to retain information inside them. This theory was recently outlined on The Science Channel’s ongoing documentary show Through the Wormhole , in which Dr. Hameroff elaborates; “Let’s say the heart stops beating, the blood stops flowing; the micro- tubules lose their quantum state. The quantum information within the micro-tubules lose their quantum state. The quantum information within the micro-tubules is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates to the Universe at large. If the patient is resuscitated , revived, the quantum information can go back into the micro-tubules and the patient says “I had a near-death experience,’ If they’re not revived, and the patient dies, it’s possible that this quantum information can exist outside the body, perhaps indefinitely , as a soul.” Hameroff’s words suggest that human souls are much more than mere “interactions” of neurons in the brain. In fact, this theory indicates that these “souls” could have existed since the very beginning of time itself. And with all the recent discoveries pertaining to dark matter and dark energy- substances which humans cannot see or interact with, but substances which we know exist, nevertheless–This theory could end up explaining things that are even more mysterious and fascinating. ” End of article”
     Some time ago my wife’s relative came to spend some quality time in the hills where we resided. In an effort to find something interesting ,I decided a trip to the Journey Museum would be entertaining for a few hours. What I had not expected was what happened at the end of that tour. Suddenly I wished I had taken to Bear Country or Reptile Gardens instead. Being of a religious belief I was not familiar with, they exploded with fits of anger. This article printed above brought this response on FB . “Them scientists smoke crack and eat dung as you rest in the grave dust to dust, followed by a bible verse, of course, ECC. 12-7 Then shall the dust return to the Earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it. ” Talk about narrow minded people, I was pooh-pawed by at least a half dozen of that particular faith. On the other hand, one individual I TRUST made the following comment. ‘”It certainly does, I personally have witnessed 3 times the soul rise up and out upon the death of a loved one, and continue to rise through the ceiling . It is a very profound experience that I will never forget. That’s the end of a long post, but I BELIEVE I witnessed this myself and it was me . Well believe what ever you wish but try to keep any outside influences or authorities to guide you in your decision. Just don’t to forgive and love. love, love!

168. 8/10/18. A short time ago on one of the nightly programs Digger Steve Fagan asked the question “Why is the society not growing? He told us some conversations he had experienced lately about the poor guy who was asking questions while his girl friend was shouting “Liar, Liar during the conversation. You almost have to wonder if she was actually jealous of Neothink because it was spending more time with the books than with her. More astounding was the conversation with the lady who moved her FNE to WNE (Wed) because that was the night she went out with girls. Evidently going out and partying was all she could think about! I am betting she was a wonderful employee who spent her time always concentrating on her job! But there I go again being judgmental with out knowing the facts. As far as my favorite Neothink literature goes, I choose as every one does . Super Puzzle, the Miss Annabelle Story, secondly, The Rise of Neo Tech, and finally SOS Roots. My FNE has been on hold for awhile due to health issues, but forever I had mulled over the possibility of writing a book, so Rise has the hook that I enjoy and Dr. Wallace’s stories have a natural appeal.
     Clearly , in listening to the conversation regarding ” some get it” while others are still attempting to come out of the shadows and are still struggling with the material and there most sincere thoughts. Why is it that some of the society members are not getting or understanding the full extent of the message? Clearly the complexities of the material requires concentration and an open mind. If you are still of mysticisms , afraid of what others think, and still dependent on external authorities to rule your life, then you will NEVER get it! GOT IT? Love like there is no tomorrow.

169. My Part Two may require breaking out the aluminum foil hats and an antenna of some kind, but it’s just some crazy thoughts.
     “WHAT IF ” human like consciousness controls the Universe? Hints by physics might want one to think intelligent life controls the cosmos and how intelligent life naturally and very quickly takes control of nature and then reaches out into space exploration and space colonization ,cultivation and control of the cosmos–given the logistics of the universe, intelligent life has existed for millions and billions of years before Earthlings. That statement can be interpreted in several ways. I am assuming Neo-Think is saying that before us humans, there were others who had an extended or expanded consciousness with a much higher level than we currently have. The other thought that may seem a bit far fetched is from what these 10 NASA astronauts have said in the past. Some will argue that all these statements were made out of context, others will believe because they are all employed by our government they were forced to make these statements. I leave it to you to decide.
     1. Scott Carpenter–Mercury-Atlas 7 ” At no time when the astronauts were in space were they alone. There was a constant surveillance by UFO’s
     2. Gordon Cooper –NASA Mercury astronaut. ” I believe that the extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets.”
     3. Joseph A Walker– NASA pilot ” I don’t feel like speculating about UFO’s . all I know is what appeared on the film which was developed after the flight,”
     4. Eugene Cernan–Apollo 17 ” I ve been asked about UFO’s and I’ve said publicly I thought they were somebody from some other civilization,”
     5. Donald Slayton– NASA Mercury astronaut. ” It looked like a saucer , a disk. It pulled about a 45 degree climbing turn , accelerated and just flat disappeared.”
     6. Lt. Col. Onizuka–1st Japanese American in space . “The small strange looking creatures were humanoid in shape. They did not appear to be of Earthly origin.”
     7. Leroy Chiao–ISS Commander. ” I saw some lights that seemed to be in a line and it was almost like an up side down check mark, and I saw them fly by and thought it was awfully strange,”
     8. Buzz Aldrin– 2nd man to walk on the moon, ” Visit the moon of mars. “There’s a monolith there. When people find out about that, they’re going to say, Who put that here? Who put that there? ( In recent months, he was air lifted from the Antarctica telling some strange and odd stories of what is there)
     9. Edgar Mitchell– 6th man to walk on the moon. “Yes, there has been ET visitation and may continue to be. There is a lot of evidence that points to a clandestine group.”
     10. Dr. Brian O’leary, — Apollo astronaut ” There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted , that civilizations have been visiting us for a long time.”
     Far fetched you say? Ian built a space ship called Trinity to go get Beorapparaus Rasaraus you know!!!

170. 8/4/18 First and foremost, Thanks to Judith, my dependable mentor and friend for helping keep this site open. Any day now I suspect it will disappear into the abyss now, meanwhile we will just keep plugging along Thanks again.
     There are common denominators to help us the essence , so what are the common denominators in the Neo-Think society? Ask yourself, does your mind work in concepts that reach out far beyond others to make clear understandings of complex ideas? Are we in some other world? If so , what if some other types of life exists that every one is missing out? Have we not gone through some kind of space-time jump to another place, a special, secret place very few have been, but everyone belongs! Where every- one is doing the right thing. To do so, you must be completely honest with reality —- Profound honesty cutting through illusions to the essence of things. If your thinking at this point that this is gibberish, then you need to break out chapter Eleven , Super Puzzle. We really need our Daniel Ward now, I mean NOW! Imagine if you can , a politician who would represent a world of profound honesty, and would depoliticize America! All 548 of those scoundrels. Not sure when Mark wrote the Miss Annabelle story , but it was then that he had his vision about how the government ruling class and it’s regulations would become so repulsive , it could no longer exist. We SHOULD be at that breaking point now , so for what reason are we still being guided along by a matrix of illusions created by the small majority of bad people? I too could be enamored by our current POTUS if I believed for one minute that he was removing bad people and replacing with good people, but that’s not how current politics works. Thus the TVP? (Part one of Two parts. )

     FACEBOOK PATENT REVEALS PLANS TO USE ‘EMOTION DETECTION’ TO SPY ON USERS
     K.S. Anthony
     Outer Places
     Tue, 31 Jul 2018
     A patent application filed by Facebook in 2015 reveals some of the spycraft behind the company’s ongoing quest to mine user data and leverage it for profit. This particular technology, however, isn’t just about monitoring what you click or like as you create a treasure trove of data for the company to gleefully do what they please with.
     Instead, it eliminates the need for any conscious action at all on the part of the user by using emotional recognition technology to interpret facial and physical expressions of mood, affect, and emotional reaction and deliver “content” – the media industry’s catch-all phrase for everything from banal advertisements for dog food and diapers to propaganda efforts launched by Russian Intelligence Services on American social media platforms in an effort to destabilize the country – calibrated for each of those emotions.

     How could Facebook possibly see you? Easy: your phone or computer’s camera. That electrical tape has to come off eventually.

     The patent application, titled “Techniques for emotion detection and content delivery,” begins with a faulty syllogism that illustrates the simplicity of thought reigning at Facebook. “Users of computing devices spend increasing amounts of time browsing streams of posts on social networks, news articles, video, audio, or other digital content,” goes Facebook’s reasoning. “The amount of information available to users is also increasing. Thus, a need exists for delivering content [to] a user that may be of current interest to them” and that a “user’s interests may be determined based upon their current emotional state.”

     Before we explore the patent, let’s examine the problems with what amounts to Facebook’s statement of purpose for implementing this technology.

     The first is that Facebook conflates content with information: with something intangible that nevertheless has perceived implicit value and utility. The second problem is that Facebook identifies a spurious need that is entirely self-serving: the delivery of additional content to users. This justification of surveillance as a consumer service is absolute bullshit and completely incompatible with American values of freedom.

     Facebook’s presentation of content is entirely innocuous, of course, blithely stating that it “may include, but is not limited to, social networking posts, photos, videos, audio, games, advertisements, or applications made available online or through an application store on a device.” The application continues its justification, stating that “using information associating emotions with content, a content delivery system may deliver more content associated with happy emotions than sad emotions, for example.”

     The application goes on to note that “Computing devices such as laptops, mobile phones, and tablets increasingly include at least one, and often more than one, imaging component, such as a digital camera. Some devices may include a front-facing camera that is positioned on the same side of the device as a display. Thus, during normal operation, a user may be looking towards the imaging component. However, current content delivery systems typically do not utilize passive imaging information. Thus, a need exists for a content delivery solution that takes advantage of available passive imaging data to provide content to a user with improved relevancy.(emphasis ours)”

     Once again, a faulty syllogism is at work here. Those last two sentences essentially say that because – at least as of 2015 – Facebook’s content delivery systems don’t access your camera for “passive imaging” (an innocuous way of saying “automatic recording”), a need exists for it. People need water. They need food. They need fresh air. They don’t need a company to be able to access their electronic devices to gauge their facial expressions when they read that they’re being spied on.

     The thoughtful inventor who authored this application noted that the imaging component “may comprise without limitation a mobile device, a personal digital assistant, a mobile computing device, a smart phone, a cellular telephone, a handset, a one-way pager, a two-way pager, a messaging device, a computer, a personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a handheld computer, a tablet computer, or a wearable computing device such as a smartwatch.”

     Regardless of whether you fall into the intellectually lazy, laissez-faire camp of those who assert that there’s no point in trying to maintain one’s personal privacy because of the multitude of surveillance and data collection/mining technologies at work or if you’re among the small number of people who take issue with American companies that have implicated themselvesin Russia’s interference in the last presidential election by aiding their propaganda efforts through some ugly hybrid of stupidity, greed, and neglect, you probably don’t see a need existing for anyone to access your camera so that AI can assess your emotional reactions via microexpressions, feed that data back into a server to be kept, analyzed, and possibly sold, and then regurgitated to you in the form of ads, family photos from people you went to high school with, or a video article about how a young billionaire is doing his best to fight “fake news.”

     In his 1985 book Amusing Ourselves To Death, Neil Postman warned that television, for all of its promise to create an enlightened and informed citizenry, was actually doing the opposite: that it was making people less discerning as the collective appetite for what was then called programming and is now called content, increased.

     As television has given greater and greater ground to the Internet – and particularly social media – as the primary source of news, Postman’s words ring even more alarmingly true. “Television,” Postman wrote, “is altering the meaning of ‘being informed’ by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. I am using this word almost in the precise sense in which it is used by spies in the CIA or KGB. Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information-misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information-information that creates the illusion of knowing something but which in fact leads one away from knowing. In saying this, I do not mean to imply that television news deliberately aims to deprive Americans of a coherent, contextual understanding of their world. I mean to say that when news is packaged as entertainment, that is the inevitable result. And in saying that the television news show entertains but does not inform, I am saying something far more serious than that we are being deprived of authentic information. I am saying we are losing our sense of what it means to be well informed. Ignorance is always correctable. But what shall we do if we take ignorance to be knowledge?”

     In Facebook’s case, the answer appears to be simple: continue to profit from it by any means necessary.

     Thank you, Mark Hamilton, and Dr. Frank Wallace for inspiring us to look further into TRUTH using total integrated honesty and by living in the REAL WORLD we can see around us, not the illusory, mystical and mythical one created for us!

173. Again, Cowboy, you’re on a roll! Thanks for all the well integrated posts you’ve brought forward in these past few days. I can see you are getting your ‘land leg(s)’ back and are “On The Road Again” as our friend Willie pronounces. And what a great inspiration you are to me and I believe to many other Society members who have watched your long, arduous journey back during the past two years. Keep it up and see ya soon!

     Judith

174. Thanks, Cowboy, for the mini-treatise on living life to the fullest and going after your dreams. I loved all your questions one needs to be asking ourselves during this Great Era of Great Change. Also telling others how much you love them before it’s too late! I just experienced this (as you know) with my lifelong friend, Morris, and I was just barely blessed enough to catch him on his last morning to tell him how much our shared life experiences had meant to me. He could only whisper back. to me, but I could feel him and what he was saying. And now that he’s left I am so grateful that we had at least that little closure. I miss him more than any words in this universe or any other could ever say. Anyway, you brought tears to my eyes here. One for the book. Later … Love ya!

     Judith

175. Chances are you have heard the following words time after time, but have you really heard them , or think they don’t apply to you. Here the printed words.
     “I wish I didn’t take life so seriously.
     “I wish I didn’t take life so seriously,
     ” I wish I had lived more. I wish I gave more happiness to my family. I wish I knew how precious life was, how fleeting, how special , and at the same time fragile and significant. I wish I didn’t give up my dreams so easily.
     One day , life will flash before your eyes, make sure it’s worth watching. When we look back on our lives, in our last breaths, we will all wonder , did my life mean anything? Did my life mean anything to the world? Was I loved? Did my love have any impact on anyone else’s life? Did I matter?
     We won’ be worried about our bills, we won’t be worried about our hair. We certainly won’t care our favorite TV show. We won’t spare a second thought about other’s opinions and judgements. Did I matter? Before we reach that last breath, today might be the time to make a change. Make your life matter, one day it will be over. There will be two dates on either side of the dash.. Make sure that dash is not empty, Make sure it is full of life, full of living. Oscar Wilde once said ” To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” and he was right. Don’t live like everyone else, exist, be extraordinary, live every moment with passion and wonder, and don’t take anything or anyone for granted. What is important to you, what dreams do you have? Go get them. What are you waiting for? You only have one shot and if you missed the mark, at least you will live with pride knowing you have no regrets. Who do you love ? Who has loved you? Tell them. Tell them now! You will never know when it will be your last chance. Don’t take this magical thing called life for granted. Keep your lead when everyone else is loosing there’s. Trust yourself when everyone else doubts you. Master your dreams when everyone else gives up on there’s. Be the Captain when everyone else is content to be the crew. Be the lion when all others are playing sheep. Be the leader when all others are following. Live each day as it may be your last on Earth! It may be. Leave your legacy. ” Those are some of the most powerful words I have ever encountered. Thanks for reading. Yesterday we lost another one of those home town heroes. Charley Walker was the chaplain of our legion post and said the final words at my wife’s funeral. He had done a bunch in his lifetime. It would be appropriate if they took him to his final resting place aboard firetruck # 3. Love yourself and others like there is no tomorrow.

176. 8/1/18 August is here already!! IN chapter 10,Mark Hamilton’s super puzzle, toward the end of that chapter, Teddy had captured the class with his story of how he had already started a lucrative business and expanded it, and was also using a mini-day schedule to make use of his limited time. Miss Annabelle made a comment that Teddy would never finish school. That got me to thinking just how important is a formal education, as lots of emphasis is placed on getting that diploma. Some research found that we have had many people who have succeeded without a high school diploma or a college degree. A few who we are familiar with are Richard Brunson, Col. Harlan Sanders ((, KFC), Dave Thomas,( Wendys,) Andrew Carnegie, and a story that has been presented to us through Neo-Tech- Neo-Think about Milton Hershey, who was a 4th grade drop out. Many of the people who were instrumental in speeding new technology to our finger tips never entered or finished college , Those include Steve Jobs, Rachel Ray, Bill Gates and Michael Dell. Ashley Quaills,( founder of whatever.com) left high school at age 15 to devote herself to building her website business and was worth more than a million by age 17. I am not saying one should drop out of a formal education, and the typical impression one gets when hearing someone is a “drop out” is that they are too lazy to apply themselves, are not considered even value producers lest become Value creators. That may or may not be the case. Maybe the answer is to create a new curriculum that meets every ones individual needs. OK, just thinking.

177. 7/27/18 Week end ALREADY? Nostalgia crept in today. It’s been awhile since these stories have been shared on this wiki page. I am not sure who first shared them, perhaps the golden palomino Judith did, and maybe Elaine, who used to pass by our way from time to time. No matter, worth repeating, after all Mark Hamilton refers to repetition as a way of learning. The word is a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness and translates into the English word” correction”. It is practiced by indigenous Hawaiian healers often within the extended family members.
     Ho’oponopono : The four most important statements in the Universe!
     I love you…….(Love)
     I’m sorry……..(Repentance)
     Please,
     Forgive Me….(Forgiveness)
     Thank you……(Gratitude)
     When repeated and sent out into the Universe, the words are most positive.

     Also, the story “Ubantu” ties into that culture. Story as follows.
     “An anthropologist proposed a game for the children of an African tribe. He put a basket of fruit under a tree and told the kids that the first one to reach the fruit would win it all.——- When he told them to run, they all took each other’s hands and ran together, then sat down together enjoying the fruit.——- When asked why they all ran like that, as one could have taken ALL the fruit for oneself, they answered ” Ubantu, How can one be happy if all the others are so sad?”
     As heartwarming as that story is, so is the description of the word ubantu itself. It comes from the bantu languages of Africa and roughly means “I am because we are:” or “I am what I am because of who we all are”. The concept refers to a way of living where community is important and everyone cares for each other. I fear that is an important part of living we have lost. As a kid back in the hills of Missouri, we knew every neighbor we had for miles around. Aside from curiosity, it was a gesture to offer help and get acquainted and make friends. Ok, I just rehashed some old stuff but hope you enjoyed it , bring back for a moment a reminder of how we shared our love as we did as children of the past. God children, lest you have forgotten.

178. 7/26/2018 It is my most sincere wish that I can aptly describe my heart felt feelings into this post.
     The subject: As Seniors in Neo-Think , What are the advantages?
     I would first like to say that despite a few setbacks , I have not given up hope of being deeply involved in the business world in some capacity. That said, below are a few advantages that us “old folks” still have and need. Age should not be a factor when it comes to creativity and our experiences of the past was a great teacher and left many with advanced wisdom to make wiser and smarter choices and ideas.
     1. Escape: An escape beyond the boundaries of the A/C world and into beautiful realm of the C of U. just as younger people , we are also victims of the burden of life with it’s continuous attacks of crimes and politics , religion and every day chaos designed label known as the numbing of America as well as the rest of the Universe.

     2. Friendship : The opportunity to associate with friendly “like-minded” people who care and understand your trials of daily living. People you can trust to tell your secrets and most intimate problems too without discord or pessimism, but are most willing to help in times of need. (Most of my Face Book friends are within the society, with the exception a few family members) People you share your dreams or frustrations with.

     3. Happiness; Many friendships have been developed with members of this society, people who may be completely different than you, yet share the same philosophies, dreams and understanding that you believe. Dr Wallace says this; With life ageless and immortal, mystic -free conscious beings can forever experience growing prosperity, love, HAPPINESS, and life itself through productive work , romantic love, psychuous pleasures, and I-ness immortality ,…The moral purpose of all conscious life would then be met—increasing happiness forever.

     4. Hope : (My Favorite) Hope for the present and for future generations. Hope that even my life time there will come a time when all diseases will have been conquered, and a reverse of aging will occur in the form of a cure for aging, and at least see an extended step towards biological immortality. What would be like to see your great-grand children mature to an older age. Imagine what technology may look like in another 100 years!

     Tired of hearing people say age is just a number? Well, IT REALLY IS! You have 2 choices . You either engage in the business of living or you stagnate. My idea of stagnation is death with out really dying. Without purpose or direction your nothing but a dead person mentally taking up space in society. There is a jolly older person who is a cashier at one of my favorite eating establishments, and on the wall behind him hangs a sign that Senior Discount age 65 and older. One day I had mentioned that I was now in my 80’s, and his retort was “your over qualified” and turned and pointed at the sign. He said ,”Notice it says Sr. discount. age 65, it doesn’t have an expiration date on the end of it.” Last but not least: Dr. Wallace gives us 114 Neo-Tech Advantages and I see no expiration dates on any of them. Thank You for reading, and Choose love.

180. WHY EATING POMEGRANATE COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
     By: Sayer Ji
     July 11th 2018

     Millions die every year from cancer. Millions more from heart disease. A solid body of research indicates that consuming pomegranate may be the ideal way to protect yourself against the top two killers in the postmodern age.

     I confess I have a bit of an obsession with pomegranate. Not only does is its look and taste highly appealing, but ever since performing a pubmed.gov literature searchon what is literally the fruiting ovary of the pomegranate bush, I was simply in awe at the sheer volume of supportive literature on its diverse applications for health promotion and disease prevention.

     While I’ve written and lectured previously on foods with life-saving properties, such as garlic, lime juice, and of course the amazing spice turmeric to which I have dedicated an entire resource page on GreenMedInfo.com, I think what intrigues me most about pomegranate is how seldom it is recognized for its powerful, and I would say, life-saving health properties; this, despite the fact that the research literature shows it has 100+ potential health applications. This situation is not accidental. The truth about pomegranate (and all “natural cures” for that matter) is controversial and highly politicized, with The FTC and FDA going as far as filing complaints against pomegranate juice manufacturers for referencing its well-established health value.

     Personally, I’m most fascinated by pomegranate’s striking resemblance to the human ovary and how it contains mammalian-type steroid hormones like estrone and testosterone normally found in the ovaries — an example of the “doctrine of signatures,” which I recently covered in my article: “Why Walnut Resembles the Brain It Nourishes.”

     And yet, most of my focus thus far has been on spreading the good news about pomegranate’s unique ability to reverse plaque build up in the arteries; a therapeutic property which could countermand the #1 cause of death in the developed world, namely, atherosclerosis related cardiovascular events such as heart attacks.

     Pomegranate’s heart-saving properties are all the more amazing when you consider that we live in a world where millions are taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs even though the cholesterol hypothesis of heart disease remains just that: a theory, and one increasingly refuted by the evidence itself. Ironically, statins have also been demonstrated to weaken the heart muscle, along with causing some 300+ documented adverse health effects. And yet, many of these very same people popping potentially deadly pharmaceuticals without thought, are still afraid to consume pomegranate juice because of its “high sugar content.”

     Another thing about pomegranate is that it is also uniquely supported by a folkloric body of cross-culturally overlapping virtues, such as promoting fertility, prosperity, and longevity. Clearly, the logos (science) and mythos (ancient orally transmitted wisdom) agree that this a very special food. I consider it right up there with my personal favorite turmeric; a plant root which, I believe, contains both intelligence and compassion.

     If you want to see how I came to this apical point of appreciation for pomegranate, you can follow the biomedical footsteps I took to get here by checking out all the studies I have gathered on my pomegranate database here.

     In this article, however, I will be focusing on an under appreciated benefit of pomegranate, namely, its powerful anti-cancer properties. My hope is that through these efforts more people will come to appreciate that only food can truly perform root cause resolution of disease, both by nourishing, stimulating natural detoxification methods, and perhaps more importantly, providing vectors of healing information. You can learn more about my perspective on the topic by reading: Why Food is Actually Information.

     POMEGRANATE: NATURE’S PERFECT ANTI-CANCER FOOD?

     Regular readers of GreenMedInfo.com know that we focus heavily on identifying the true causes and cures for cancer, as well as the still widely underestimated problem of the medical industry’s routine misclassification, overdiagnosis and overtreatment of cancer; a problem, in fact, which was recognized by the National Cancer Institute’s own expert panel in 2013 to apply to two of the most commonly diagnosed forms of cancer in men (HGPIN “prostate cancer”) and women (DCIS “breast cancer”), and which has lead to incalculable and needless suffering in millions of men and women in the U.S. over the past 30 years.

     The convenient side effect of the mass screening associated overdiagnosis and overtreatment of suspicious “growths” is that cancer has become a multi-billion dollar industry, despite the fact that cancer treatments have made very little progress over the past half century.

     A huge piece of the puzzle as to why conventional treatment has been a monumental failure is revealed by so-called cancer stem cell hypothesis. Basically a small subpopulation of cancer cells called cancer stem cells are believed responsible for producing most primary and secondary tumors, as well as their resistance to conventional chemotherapy and radiation. In fact, these two “therapies” actually enrich cancer stem cells in the surviving post-treatment tissue, making their use not only obsolete but fundamentally unethical due to the iatrogenic harms they cause on top of the original disease.

     Preliminary research has already shown that pomegranate can inhibit and/or destroy a range of cancers, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and pancreatic cancer. But because the cancer stem cell hypothesis is relatively new, there are few studies that have been performed to assess the ability of natural compounds to kill cancer stem cells.

     That said, an important study published in 2010 in Oncology Reports titled, “Pomegranate extract inhibits the proliferation and viability of MMTV-Wnt-1 mouse mammary cancer stem cells in vitro,” revealed for the first time that several compounds within pomegranate have the ability to target and destroy the cancer stem cells within mammary cancer. Remember, this is a highly significant finding because this is something that conventional cancer treatments cannot do.

     The groundbreaking study opened with a brief summary of the cancer stem cell hypothesis, well worth reading:

     “The stem cell hypothesis of cancer is based on the existence of a subset of cells in tumors with a high proliferative capacity and multipotency, the stem cell-like ability to produce all cell types found in tumors (9). Tumor heterogeneity arises not by the serial clonal expansion of individual cancer cells that have acquired new, advantageous mutations, but from cancer stem cells. The cancer stem cell hypothesis explains the ultimate failure of chemotherapy; tumors destroyed by chemotherapy may be repopulated by cancer stem cells, which are highly drug resistant through a variety of mechanisms (10). As such, successful chemotherapy and cancer prevention must target not only the differentiated tumor cells that make up the bulk of the tumor, but also cancer stem cells, and treatment may have to be long-term, since cancer stem cells are long-lived.”

     The study next moved to why foods like pomengranate may be the future of cancer treatment:

     “A promising source of novel chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents are fruits and vegetables, which are associated with a reduced risk of breast cancer (4,14). Phytochemicals derived from fruits and vegetables have a proven ability to inhibit cancer cell growth in vitro and prevent the formation of tumors in vivo (4,6) and are well tolerated and safe, allowing for long-term dietary administration. However, since the cancer stem cell hypothesis has only recently been proposed, there are few studies on the effect of phytochemicals on cancer stem cells (16,17).

     We hypothesized that phytochemicals inhibit the growth and viability of mammary cancer stem cells. To test this hypothesis, in the present study we used a mammary cancer stem cell line, designated WA4, derived from tumors arising spontaneously in MMTV-Wnt-1 transgenic mice, as an in vitro model of cancer stem cells. Studies have suggested that mammary tumors arising in this model contain a proportion of tumor cells with cancer stem cell-like characteristics (8), and the ß-catenin pathway, which is activated by overexpression of Wnt-1, is important in governing self-renewal of cells, a hallmark of ‘stemness’. The majority of the cells in the WA4 cell line displays many cancer stem-cell like characteristics, as described in Materials and methods. We chose PE as our test agent. PE is a standardized extract of pomegranate that is commercially available as a dietary supplement and is certified ‘generally regarded as safe’ by the Food and Drug Administration. The extract is standardized by HPLC to contain no less than 70% total polyphenolic compounds, and the final polyphenolic composition is similar to that of the pomengranate fruit (12). Pomegranate juice and seed oil have previously been shown to inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of various differentiated human breast cancer cell lines in vitro (11,18,19). Pomegranate extracts have also been shown to inhibit the proliferation of other cancer cell types in vitro, including lung, prostate, colon and oral cancer (7,20-23). However, the current study is, to the best of our knowledge, the first to examine the effect of PE on cancer stem cells.”

     The study results were reported as follows:

     “In summary, the present study demonstrates that PE is a potent inhibitor of mammary cancer stem cells in vitro. This is the first study to examine the potential of a dietary extract to target cancer stem cells.”
     While this was only a cell study, the results are encouraging, as noted by the authors:

     “The relatively low concentrations needed to inhibit mammary cancer stem cells in vitro and the demonstrated bioavailability of PE suggest that PE may be an effective inhibitor of mammary tumor growth in vivo, a possibility that is currently being tested in our laboratory.”

     The most common criticism against preliminary research like this is that since it has not yet been proven safe and effective in human clinical trials it would be irresponsible, if not illegal, to use it to prevent, mitigate or treat any disease. This criticism, however, belies naivety as to how the biomedical research and publishing industries really work. The funding pay that needs to be scaled in order to perform the phase I, II, II, etc. human clinical trials required by the FDA to obtain drug approval is between 1-11 billion dollars high. Do we wait, for instance, for these studies to be performed, knowing full well that sufficient private and/or public capital will never materialize because natural substances do not produce market exclusivity nor a return on investment? In the meantime, tens of thousands die, annually, from the adverse effects of the highly toxic and ineffective conventional treatments.

     As informed consumers and/or patients, who are fully aware that foods like pomegranate are not drugs. i.e., they are not comprised of synthetically produced molecules, we know that foods like these have thousands of years of safe usage behind them. And so, we have every right to use our “food as medicine.” When you consider that heart disease and cancer are the #1 and #2 causes of death in the developed world, and that a simple fruit extract may profoundly reduce the risk of being seriously harmed, or dying from either, it would seem unethical not to use it, or not to advocate for its use vis-à-vis the potentially horrific side effects of the drugs being used for primary prevention and treatment of these conditions.

     This is why I believe pomegranate is the world’s most important healing fruit. Add to this the fact that it actually tastes good, and you have the perfect confluence of reasons to start incorporating it into your daily regimen.

181. GAIA PORTAL

     Predecessors of Light movements are risen above.

     Cleansing of the systems is accelerated.

     Consequences are felt by all.

     Furtiveness is abandoned.

     Directness is accepted.

182. 7/24/18
     The day started off with the seniors call and ended in the prime time with The Rise of Neo-Tech. Both were full of great integrations and contained some sound advice. We all have our personal books and my #1 has to be Mark Hamilton’s Super Puzzle, the story about Miss Annabelle and her 12 kids, next comes the Rise of Neo-tech followed by SOS Roots. those are my 3 favorites. Tonight’s subject was concentrated on Man’s Choice. Rational selfishness –man’s greatest virtue. Through it , greed grows beautiful , Life becomes joyful, serve only the highest cause—Man the individual——YOU. by Eric Flame. A hard look at reality or to quote “What is real—is real.

183. 7/21/18 Week end update. After searching for something that had meaning that appealed to me, I decided to do this piece by Prince Ea. Hope you like it. It is entitled ‘THIS IS WHO YOU ARE”.
     “What if a light bulb was the cure to sexism, racism and classism? Hear me out. do you know people and light bulbs have in common? We both express different colors, have different shapes, have different sizes, were manufactured in different places, some of us are bright, some dim, some clear , and some broken. We appear to be very different on the outside, but the thing about these lights is there is one current running through each bulb, and in the same way , there is a singular energy running through each person on this planet. It doesn’t matter your race, gender, nationality, that’s just the bulb. Inside of all that is WHO you really are. ENERGY ! Don’t believe your energy, well riddle me this. Say you have a friend named Jim, and you been visiting Jim in the hospital , until one day Jim unfortunately dies on the operating table. You say “Oh no, Jim died”, but his body is still there. His race, his gender, but you said Jim died! Because you know deep down that Jim was a lot more than his body. ENERGY ! He was the intelligent energy that gave life to his body. ENERGY is what we are, and energy has no color. It is not republican or democrat , white or black. Energy is not Christian, Muslim or atheist . Energy Is. We are intelligent creative universal energy, and if we understood that , we would finally know what wise men and women have been trying to tell us since the dawn of time, that we are one.” Without using your thoughts, associations, emotions or memories, who are you? “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Make each breath count.

184. When Miss Annabelle went before the school board the first time, she said to Jessie, “I’ll tell my kids that NO person should tell another person how to live his or her life.” She went on to say also that the politicians and regulating powercrats ARE ALL ABOUT RULING OVER PEOPLE and that role is fundamentally wrong. He or she will say “But what about the good things they do for us? After all WE ELECT THEM!!!!!!! So for centuries adults keep putting a ruling class OVER THEMSELVES. That’s like saying, well we always have, so we must continue forever. It’s like thinking I like Strawberry but everyone else prefers chocolate therefore I will have chocolate . Also it’s like Willie Wonka was chosen by the people and he says we eat chocolate, therefore I eat chocolate. I wish I had a better way of explanation. If you read this , then help me out.

185. 7/18/18 Last nights discussion on the school of genius/ Rise of Neo-tech call was about the threat of socialism in this country and is being discussed and becoming an agenda more every day. I believe it is not that difficult to explain. To start with, a good portion of the younger generation doesn’t appear to’have that driving desire to succeed . They were raised with video games , computers , and live in an imaginary world of fantasies, rather than in a world of reality. You don’t have to search the world over to come to that conclusion. Just look nearby and its staring you ij the face. I recall in one of the books when Mark was 15 or so, he worked in a restaurant and solved the owners problem by fixing a parking lot problem. What ever happened to starting at the bottom and working your way up? To at least partially answer that, take the case of my son-in-law who is the manager of a large automotive store that is also attached to an automotive paint refinishing store and a large warehouse serving several states. His usual comment every morning at the breakfast nook is “I wonder how many wont show up today” referring to employees whose simple task is to deliver parts (in a brand new vehicle) get a signature, and return to the store. The average is 3 individuals who call in or just never show up for work. Another example of Socialism is close to home, no you need not go to a foreign country to see what happens when someone becomes dependent on government to survive. Approximately 45 miles from my home is the poorest native American (Indian) reservation in the U.S. These people have been programmed from day one to rely on government handouts, except in there case, we build them new homes and businesses which they destroy within a few years as there is no pride in ownership. The drinking and drug use is the highest in the nation. Crime runs rampant, theft is a way of life. This may not be socialism in its true form, but it does point out what happens when people are stripped of there ability to think for themselves and stripped of there ability to move forward. Once again, I invite you to come see for yourself what happens when man’s pride and reason to advance is stripped away. It’s a sorry sight. Most people in Neo-Think are self starters who enjoyed the fruits of capitalism in a free competitive market. That’s my view of socialism. Put a little LOVE in your heart and be glad we are living in a country where we can still be free. …….It’s grandma’s fault!!!!! That’s what happens when you are given everything. There is NO incentive to earn it.

186. In Chapter 2 Super Puzzle, Two of the subjects were harassment in the work place( also sexual harassment ) and “It appears to be” vs” What is”. My thoughts after reading the paper and being on face-book, is if their has ever been a time in modern times when people have not been able to separate what appears to be and what is, it is now! The Civil war may have been worse because lives were lost, and the population was strongly divided by an imaginary line known as the Mason-Dixon line, but it was fought for the right cause. However at present it seems their is a deep division in our citizens that in it’s darkness is creating chaos and hate and even fear among them, and no one has successfully been able to conclude “what is”. So who is or what is this phantom plague that is successfully creating this brainwashing of America? In Neo-Tech- Neo-Think we take pride in our awareness and puzzle building , and take aim at our foes, primarily organized religion and politics, who we consider the guilty culprit and focus on business, art and science. . Also on the 4 pillars which is the literature, health and wellness, the business alliance and the 12 visions party. In Rosa’s book, Running with Genius” Dr. Wallace was quoted as saying that when he met the pope in Italy, when eye contact was made he seen pure hatred, and he said “maybe it was just an impression I got, or maybe the Pope saw the devil in my eyes. Face book most recently has been , along with politics, firing messages at the public in rapid succession, thus their subliminal messages are designed to further separate and confuse the masses of citizens into 2 or more groups to create hysteria and dissention among each other. We mustn’t let this happen. Some of our members have moved on to a higher consciousness and are stronger than that . They have absorbed the lessons taught in the society. Sadly in recent years even battle lines have been drawn among members of our own organization, but that is because everyone is entitled to their own opinion , so be it, as long as it is done without malice and hate in there heart, but because that is what you believe is best for you. Down home , you know if you aren’t careful when you climb over the barb-wire fences, you can rip your pants. So I will end this by saying be true to your heart, don’t be coerced into believing every thing you hear from the mass or social media and work harder to expand your intelligence and your consciousness, and most of all love and forgive everyone before it becomes too late. Thanks for reading.

187. As I read through Mark’s Super Puzzle, I would like to point out what I feel are some of the most important messages to me. The essence of today’s message is HAPPINESS! —–Happiness is the reason for living. Building values for society, no matter what your doing , will bring you success, pride, and HAPPINESS. Love is your way to happiness. That old adage that says “If Mama ain’t happy, no body’s happy”. holds a lot of truth. Stay away from negative people. Don’t let someone steal your happiness.

188. When we tap into our true vision, the possibilities are endless because TRUE vision is NOT something you make up, it’s something your made OF. Its your true nature and essence. The seat of your soul, and the source of your power-
     .BEYOND what the world thinks about you—beyond even what you think about yourself.

189. Do you believe in new beginnings? A year and a half has slipped by, and I am sadly aware that my mind has partially deteriorated . The once mighty thrill of Mark Hamilton’s inspiring words from the Miss Annabelle’s Secrets has softened from the corners of my tired and depleted two-sided brain and it’s time to revitalize and start from the beginning once again. That book starts on page 3 with a headline that states “A word from the Author.” It states that there are a handful of immortals on Earth, which has been kept secret. They are Earth’s first immortals, and they reside deep within the society. ( which is no longer a secret). As we read about the 1st immortals that attended Miss Annabelle’s classes, one stops to ponder as to , if any, upstanding members of modern day is currently in that position and has reached that stage of immortality in today’s chaotic and unpredictable times? All I know is that I aspire to be one of them. Do I have the power or fortitude to believe that strongly? Only I can answer that.

190. THE NEOTHINK SOCIETY
     SCHOOL OF GENIUS – RISE OF NEO-TECH
     July 10, 2018
     By Judith Curless

     THE MULTI-VERSE AND
     HYPER-DIMENSIONAL ENTITIES

     Welcome, everyone! Thank you, Digger and Charlie for inviting me. Well, here we are once again seated in our power circle around our lovely setting in the Aladdin’s Cave. It’s been wonderful to meet together here for over three years now to learn, grow and enjoy time with fellow Neo-Friends. Looking around it appears to be the same with the bright colored wall tapestries, cushions and tiny rugs beneath us we’ve used to learn how to fly in our merkaba ship light bodies. Candles and torches on the walls flicker as we smile to relax far away and high above the chaos. Outside in the meadow, the sunset is glorious over the mountain peaks where wildflowers are a blooming carpet of colors. The great waterfall races and tumbles over the edge of the cliff into the wildness far below. Inside, the cave’s rippling brook calms us all as we’ve taken a restorative drink from the tiny rock crystal well. Remember when we first saw the holographic message floating above the silver chalice left for us in the wall nook? “Drink from the Well of the purest Essence of the Water of Life and Wisdom.” Seems ages ago now.

     But tonight feels different. We’ve all grown so much in this fleeting time. Now many changes are rumbling in the valley below us that could possibly bring these junctures to an end for the moment, so this feels a bit nostalgic to me. But nothing can stop the great changes from coming, so let’s enjoy this Now Moment as I reach into Aladdin’s treasure chest for the message title tonight, which is – The Multi-Verse and Hyper-Dimensional Entities! Since my last message was about traversing Dimensions and Densities, this information will follow and add to that.

     So, let’s take a quantum jump together. By now we all know we’re living in the most remarkable time in all history on Planet Earth! It’s a dynamic, exciting time to be alive as we’re seeing and experiencing the union of science and spirituality coalescing into a cohesive world view. Throughout the recent several centuries, Western thought and science has dominated the consensus reality of people of Earth. Many argue that our science has been the epitome of Human development, yet we’re seeing many cutting edge scientific discoveries that corroborate long-held beliefs of spirituality and faiths. Many of these blueprints originate from China and India and trace back for many thousands of years. More than one of my prior messages has brought out historical information about this.

     These junctures of thought and belief just as the momentous convergence of energies we are experiencing in these world-changing times illuminate that the nature of reality is very flexible and that we, as creators of our reality, also need to be flexible and to move with the energy where it will take us. And just where is that, you may ask? Toward the Awakening of Humanity and whatever destination or achievement in life you choose … into ever higher levels of consciousness as we truly are stepping into our power and speeding toward achieving Supra Power!

     However, the Human Race is very focused upon what is going on outside and all around us, rather than what is going on within our Inner Self. The cosmic clock has struck on the time to awaken as the change-makers we were born to be! Leave all victimhood behind and take responsibility most importantly for your creations. We’re here to express joy and to create so it’s important to discover and share our gifts with the rest of Humanity. Doing so grants ever more access to those gifts. Allowing more energy to flow through us gives it somewhere to go. Our gifts are blossoming because these gamma wave and diamond light encoded energies hold such a high frequency it can’t possibly be held back at this point.

     These high-impact energies can be challenging because you don’t always ‘get’ what you’re seeing as you’re accessing more of your clairvoyance. Some downloads and upgrades can cause mental-emotional discomfort and even pain in our physical bodies. These are ascension symptoms, and the best thing to do is slow down, listen to what is going on in your physical body and give it a chance to rest. The truth is, we are searching for grounding in the next Harmonic Universe! Recall our mantra, “Heal … Release … Shift!”

     Awakening the gifts means accessing past life versions of oneself as well, which can mean having some pleasant and some not-so-pleasant experiences. Our psychic gifts also demonstrate that we’ve all been traumatized one way or another as a result of having special gifts that others did not. So you’re also going to have to deal with being, looking or sounding different. The more people who step up and share their gifts, with this increasing number, the less weird it seems when someone comes along who’s speaking a light language or someone is seeing or hearing things that no one else is. It’s time to embrace special gifts knowing that those who are awakened are on the leading edge. As Neothinkers, we’re on track to a higher level of Beingness ahead of the rest of the Collective Consciousness world. Time to stand tall and proud to share your gifts!

     OUR HOLOGRAPHIC 12-STRAND DNA

     The integral key to our awakening and ascension is the changing DNA of all sentient life. It contains instructions for how organisms develop and what form they take. This very large molecule discovered by Watson and Crick looks like a ladder with many rungs stretching between two sides, with the ladder twisted into a Double Helix like a barbershop pole’s stripes. This is known as the 2-Strand DNA, Primary DNA or Physical DNA. It’s hard to identify within our contemporary culture just where or when the term 12-Strand DNA originated. But it’s currently held to be the potential for Human Beings on Earth that our DNA is evolving from a 2-Strand molecule into a crystalline 12-Strand molecule. This is the original form of Human DNA which was altered many eons ago that is coming back ‘online’ for us today.

     Research in the U.S. and western Europe has yielded amazing results and developments in understanding of this molecule of life. But it’s been controlled and blocked a great deal by the pharmaceutical industry. During the summer of 2011, David Wilcock published an amazing collection of research in the book titled “The Source Field Investigations”. I’ve used this amazing book as a research tool constantly as it contains over 1000 references with a comprehensive index of topics. David uncovers a tremendous amount of DNA research that originated in Russia. It differs from western thought because it approaches DNA not just as a coder of genetic information, but as the primary carrier of information in our bodies and Being.

     The research uncovered amazing results! They found that DNA can receive, emit and transduce light as well as other frequencies! Transduce means to convert energy from one form into another and in genetics means transduction within a cell. They also found that DNA can be programmed by coherent light (like a Laser or Maser) and by using this method, can heal fatal conditions. Russian researchers learned that DNA is directly related to sound frequencies.

     Linguists analyzed the DNA code within the Human Genome and noted that DNA is not just a randomly organized grouping of primary amino acids, but rather it’s a language that follows very regular grammar and syntax! This is a major finding because it proves that DNA can be programmed via frequencies (sound or light) and then we combine that with an understanding of the language in which it operates. With this, we can develop a new DNA language to heal any aspect of our physical Being on this Earth! And this is where we tie back into the ancient teachings of this world.

     A very important aspect of DNA is that it exists in several states at once. Science knows it to be physical, with the two primary strands present in all living cells. Russia science has proven DNA to exhibit traits involving sound and light but also non-locality. The reason for this is that DNA also simultaneously exists Holographically! These three dimensional images on two dimensional surfaces are created by reflecting a laser off a mirror onto the object, then onto film or other medium. The coherent light turns the reflected image into a fractal image. A true hologram will be an image, whole and complete unto itself, but by zooming in on ever smaller pieces the image is seen again and again as a fractal. By this definition our DNA (and our body) is easily seen as a hologram! The whole and complete picture (our body) contains within its smallest constituent parts (our cells) the blueprint for the whole and complete image (our DNA).

     Our mainstream science has not yet progressed to where we can measure the holographic DNA and its additional 10 strands. However, many esoteric traditions and practices can access the holographic 12-strand DNA and actively work with it. It’s the basic understanding in their energy healing work. Mantras, Yantras and meditation have been used for thousands of years to activate DNA. Shamanic or indigenous traditions use drumming, fasting and ingestion of power plant allies like Ayahuasca and Peyote. The knowledge was widespread in the ancient world, with images such as the Kundalini with its pathways and the Twining Serpents rising. All these images came thousands of years before Watson and Crick’s ‘discovery’. Thus, exploring 12-strand DNA requires us to travel back in time to the culture that academic scholars consider the birth of civilization, the Sumerians, then onward through history. I hope this information will provide breakthrough understanding for all of us here to actively use in everyday life!

     HOW QUANTUM INTELLIGENCE AFFECTS DNA

     It’s exciting to realize that one can change their DNA! Yes, You can change your DNA, but Quantum Intelligence alters it from a more profound (subtle yet powerful) energetic level that’s measurable and real. Once we grasp how Quantum Intelligence works, we can easily help the process along – to achieve greater health, happiness and remarkable spiritual transformation. Like a potter creating a masterwork, we can also change our bodies and minds with the help of a few simple tools.

     So how does this process work, from both a physical and a non-physical perspective? The ability to influence our DNA is now undeniable; both cellular biologists, and geneticists alike are beginning to understand Epi-Genetic interplay, a Greek term meaning “beyond or above genetics.” I’ve gone into great detail in past messages on this subject (one in June 2017 called ‘The Higher Healings’). Dr. Bruce Lipton and others have clearly shown we can alter inheritable traits in our gene expression that do not involve the underlying DNA sequence. We change the phenotype without changing the genotype. But this single change causes a host of natural and phenomenal changes in the Human body and mind.

     At least three systems are involved in altering our DNA from a purely physical standpoint: DNA methylation, histone modification and non-coding RNA (ncRNA)-associated gene silencing, but these are not the only methods of gene alteration. Founder of the Heart Math Institute, Doc Childre offers his own theory of how DNA is altered. It encapsulates the same understanding of DNA programming that Johanna Bassols received in a spiritual transmission—that the heart must become involved. Childre postulated that “an energetic connection or coupling of information” occurs between the DNA in cells and Higher Dimensional structures – the Higher Self or Over Soul.

     “The heart serves as a key access point through which information originating in the Higher Dimensional structures is coupled into the physical Human system (including DNA), and that state of heart coherence generated through experiencing heartfelt positive emotions increase this coupling.” The heart generates a much stronger electromagnetic field than the brain’s, providing the energetic field that binds together the Higher Dimensional structures with the body’s many physical (and etheric) systems, and its DNA. Childre’s theory of heart intelligence proposes that “individuals who are able to maintain states of heart coherence have increased coupling to the Higher Dimensional structures and would thus be more able to produce changes in the DNA.”

     This is further evidenced in the heart’s own electrical activity. It’s estimated that the heart’s endogenous electromagnetic field is as much as 100 times greater than that of the human brain! But your DNA is affected directly by this electromagnetic communication field created by an interaction between yourself and the Quantum Field, or Infinite Intelligence – and is transmuted through the heart! This is one reason why clearing your thoughts of negativity, eating less processed food, animal products, earthing, and meditating all help alter your DNA. These practices allow the energetics of the heart, which are in direct communication with the Quantum Field at all times, to transmit its healing energy. This healing energy is nothing more than a blueprint for the highest level of organization – the opposite of entropy, which causes depression, disease, and death.

     The power to heal ourselves is greatly increasing. I’ve been experiencing it and I know others on this call have, as well. The science of Psycho-neuro-immunology (PNI) is echoing what healers and shaman have been saying for ages – that we have untold powers to heal ourselves! This coming together of science and spirituality gives an unprecedented opportunity for Humans to embrace vibrant, healthy, thriving lives. Also, the Sugar Pill is working! Researchers are noting that placebos are performing very well compared to new pharmaceuticals. The placebo effect is exploding in the United States, but nowhere else. This may be due to the fact that the U.S. has 5% of the world’s population, yet consumes 75% of the world’s prescription drugs.

     Unconditional Love derived from learned or programmed Heart Consciousness allows things, which are seemingly disparate and destructive, to come together in harmony. This process happens when we meditate. We go inside ourselves and learn how to confront the disharmonious to order our own thoughts and perceptions. As we re-organize those perceptions into a more cohesive, less chaotic state, we experience a greater ability to empathize with others, forgive, live in harmony with nature, experience spiritual bliss, become free from bodily sickness, etc.

     Just imagine the amount of change you can affect in your own DNA with consistent quantum-level healing from coherent heart-brain functioning – all facilitated through your own choices, but altered at the level of Quantum Intelligence! This Soul reprogramming method is a metaphysics healing technique based on the premise that anything material (as we perceive it) was originated from a non-physical form. And this form is directly communicating with the heart. So, as we purify our heart’s electromagnetic resonance, we can change not only ourselves but the planet we reside in. DNA is merely the beginning.

     DESIGNER BODIES ARE NOT SCIENCE FICTION!

     Entrepreneur and visionary Juan Enriquez outlines a future where we will be able to survive in extreme environments and even hack our memory thanks to DNA manipulation. Imagine a world where we can design the bodies we want! In this reality we can also create, and recreate, the plants and animals that live alongside us. We can alter organisms and mold them into whatever we want them to be. This is not the world of tomorrow, though. This doesn’t take imagination. This is the world today. Right now.

     It sounds like science fiction, or even “fake news.” But it’s not. It’s a fact that comes from Juan Enriquez, Founding Director of the Life Sciences Project at Harvard Business School speaking at the World Government Summit. People were entranced by the eloquent way he discussed how gene editing has allowed Humans to become masters of their DNA – the source code of life itself. This mastery, he explained, has allowed us to take our evolution – to take our fate – into our own hands. And it’s all thanks to a genome editing technique known as CRISPR. “These instruments, like CRISPR, are allowing us, in real-time, to edit life on a grand scale,” he explained. “We are rewriting the sentences of life to our purposes.”

     Genetics is the technology of targeting a DNA-detecting molecule to a specific genetic sequence for the purpose of editing a gene’s base pairs. The approach called CRISPR should speed up the process by allowing researchers to study the entire genome at once. What this means from a practical standpoint is that we are entering a world of ‘unrandom selection’.

     Enriquez described how scientists are already working on altering the genes of plants and animals so they can thrive in locations where, previously, they would languish. He detailed how they are also engineering plants and animals to die. He says we’ve already entered a time when we can accurately say, “Instead of letting nature select what lives here, I’m going to select what lives here.” He concluded, saying with great gravity, “Science used to be about discovery, now it is about creation.”

     For with gene editing, we will reshape far more than just our bodies. We will remake our minds. We will insert memories. We will delete memories. We will alter memories. We will store them and use them in any way we desire. In so doing, Enriquez says we will change more than how our bodies operate – we will become a new kind of Human, one that is malleable and one that can be shaped and reshaped just on a whim.

     What will we be when we have the ability to literally write and rewrite our memories? When we think of ourselves, we typically think of our memories. Or memories, we’re told, are what make us who we are. What will we be when we can delete all the memories of a dead loved one? What will we become when we can remove those memories about that horrible thing we did? When we can insert memories about that heroic thing that we really didn’t do? Will we still be us? Will we still be Human? At the present juncture, it’s not clear. But this question isn’t something that we can leave to future generations, it’s something we must begin to answer today. The technology is already here, so dare to take a peek and you’ll see this day is on the horizon.

     HUMANITY’S SEARCH FOR IMMORTALITY

     Extreme life extension! Is this phenomenon within our scopes now? Statistically, the younger you are right now the greater the chances of living to 100 or well beyond, thanks to improvements in 3D printing, stem cell research and nanotech technology. It’s said that if we can be alive in the next 25-30 years, it’s possible we can live an additional one thousand years! Some may recall I brought out this amazing fact at the Summit last year. About one-quarter of children born today will live past 100 and centenarians in the U.S. have been doubling every decade since the 1950s. By 2050, that number will exceed one million people.

     Some choose to avoid the finality of death by having their remains placed in a cryogenic deep freeze to await reanimation at some future date. Once reanimation is possible, technology will also need to be advanced enough to rejuvenate the body. Cloning would need to be perfected to allow for reattachment of the frozen head onto a cloned body. In the desert of Arizona is a company called Alcor, founded in 1972. There, those who choose enter the cryogenic deep freeze can freeze their head for $80,000 – or to put the entire body on ice is a cool $200,000! So, a price has now been placed on life itself?! According to Alcor, once frozen, the individual is “located somewhere between life and death”. Its like a person in a coma in the hospital. Co-founder, Linda Chamberlain, has family and friends stored there and is comforted by the fact.

     Other research focuses on damage repair, turning back the biological clock prior to death. Gene therapy that promotes telomere lengthening is one possible avenue to slow down or even reverse aging. These were discovered in the 1930’s by Alexey Olovnikov and shown to shorten with age. The telomere’s length is the indicator that can predict just how long we will live based on our body’s ‘real’ age. Silicon Valley is also obsessed with gene therapy. Liz Parish, founder and CEO of BioViva, a biotech firm specializing in anti-aging therapies, was her company’s first patient. “If you don’t look young, you aren’t young”, she says. After gene therapy to lengthen her telomeres, her biological age reversed considerably! Exercise also works extremely well to lengthen telomeres. The Sens Research Foundation in the Valley is another that aims to stimulate rejuvenation research on a global scale to turn back the biological clock. And there are others.

     If you want to live to celebrate at least your 100th birthday, you’re not alone. Some are going to great lengths to achieve extreme life extension, if not immortality itself. The fascination with this paradigm is an enduring one and the search for ‘the fountain of youth’ has a long history, from tracking down sacred, life-giving water sources in days of antiquity to the invention of nanobots and stem cell research in the modern age.

     The Feature VPRO Backlight Documentary “Becoming Immortal” documents some of the latest advancements in the fight against aging. The narrator says, “If aging is considered as a disease, then the cure is immortality”! According to this film, billions of dollars are spent biohacking the Human biology in search of longer life. Google has created an entire department dedicated solely to investigating the Human biology of aging and mortality. “The techies are convinced the human code can be cracked, if not during their own lifetime, then shortly thereafter.”

     Best of all, optimism and zest for life is a powerful longevity predictor. Centenarians do not feel their age, but all say they seem at least 20-30 years younger! The ultimate goal – the ability to extend life indefinitely, allowing you to live as long as you wish! As noted in the film, while some find life unbearable and seek to end it sooner rather than later, others truly love life and want to keep going far beyond what is currently considered a normal life span. This shows the exultation of our Neo-Tech and Neothink great love for life and its coming adventures while most of the population is succumbing to Burden of Life and a death wish.

     WHAT IS THE MULTI-VERSE?

     Is our Universe one of a kind or one of an infinity of universes? If so, it would mean more than just lots of extra real estate! Advances in physics over the past 30 years have led some physicists and cosmologists to the mind-boggling conclusion that the Universe IS one of many. If these scientists are right, then all the stars and galaxies we see in the night sky are but a tiny fraction of an incomprehensibly vast assemblage that scientists call the Multi-Verse. “Our entire Universe may be just one element, or atom as it were, in an infinite ensemble; a cosmic archipelago,” wrote MIT Physicist Max Tegmark in his Book, “Our Mathematical Universe”.

     The word is defined as “A hypothetical group of multiple separate universes, including that in which Humans live. Together, these universes comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, and the physical laws and constants that describe them.” Different universes within the Multi-Verse are called parallel universes, parallel worlds, parallel dimensions, parallel realities, quantum universes, quantum realities, alternate universes, alternate timelines, alternate dimensions and dimensional planes.

     Believe it or not, Isaac Newton in his book “Opticks” in 1704 was the first to suggest the idea of a Multi-Verse! He wrote, “Since Space is divisible in infinitum, and Matter is not necessarily in all places, it may be also allow’d that God is able to create Particles of Matter of several Sizes and Figures, and in several Proportions to Space, and perhaps of different Densities and Forces, and thereby to vary the Laws of Nature and make Worlds of several sorts in several Parts of the Universe. At least, I see nothing of Contradiction in all this!” The physics community continues to debate the Multi-Verse hypotheses. Prominent physicists are divided in opinion about this subject, and although a few theories exist as to the reality of the Mult-Verse, they are not yet proven out. So, what do you think? Isn’t it a blast to contemplate this theory?

     THE MULTIDIMENSIONAL SELF:
     THE SOUL, OVERSOUL … AND BEYOND!

     Whether you know it or not, you are a Multidimensional Being of staggering proportions! You’re more than meets the eye; much more – more than your body or your Soul. In fact, you are an integral part of the Universe. You are part of the Composite Consciousness that IS the Universe and beyond! You are present on many levels of reality simultaneously and more powerful than you have ever imagined. Are you ready to expand your concept of Self-hood to include Higher Selves, Other/Parallel Selves and Probable Selves?

     Most of us are familiar with the idea of the Soul — that our bodies are transient physical vessels for an eternal Energetic Aspect of our consciousness, which is our true Essence. Some dismiss this idea, but people are feeling a greater presence and higher Aspect within themselves as the great shift in the consciousness of Humanity accelerates. So, is our idea of the Soul accurate and complete or overly simplistic? One idea is just two entities; Creator Source and Soul (potentially connected to a body) with the Soul seen as created by, but separate from the Creator Source. This is a gross oversimplification, as the idea that we’re separate from our Source isn’t logical.

     Another idea considers the Soul a part of a broader, Higher Entity known as the Over-Soul, which in turn, is part of the All-encompassing Source Creator. This hits upon key elements that we’re multi-layered Beings, and every layer is part of (and within) each successive layer – which are all a part of, and within, the One All-encompassing Being/Source.

     Note the term “Being” refers to “Sentient Energetic Entity” NOT a “Physical Being”. Most of us have a tendency to personify the concept of “Being-ness” but this is a mistake. The Essence of all Being-ness is something non-physical so the term “Entity” avoids this trap.

     The truth – we are Multidimensional Entities present on many levels of “reality” simultaneously and more powerful than we have been led to believe or imagine. Only a small portion of your total Being-ness is present in the physical body that you may have erroneously assumed was all of You. That You is a part of a much bigger Entity, which is ultimately also just a small part of the “All That Is” referred down through the ages by many names; Source or Source Consciousness, Infinite Creator, God, Allah, and now Zon by us! You are a Multidimensional Entity of staggering proportions and in your quest to know yourself and the nature of your existence, you have employed massive parallelism.

     HIGHER SELVES AND SUB-SELVES

     So what exactly is a Soul and what is its relationship to the All That Is? The term “Source Consciousness” shows the Universe itself is conscious in its very fabric. The Universe is not at all what it appears from our very limited perspective. We exist inside of something resembling a great cosmic mind, or “Cosmic/Universal Consciousness”. As the term “Source Consciousness” suggests, all consciousness is derived from the Universal field of consciousness.

     The consciousness of each and every one of us is an individualized thread of the Universal Consciousness. Thus, your Soul is a thread of Universal Consciousness with an associated repository of experiential information (local memory), and derivative ideas, all somehow encoded as a pattern of energy. Our Soul is sentient energy – as is the entire Universe. “There is only One Consciousness in all existence. The Consciousness that I know myself as is the same Consciousness you know yourself as.” Story Waters, “One Self Teachings”.

     Source Consciousness is the intelligence that exists and created our Universe, and also indirectly created all our Souls. A fundamental capability of consciousness is to subdivide Itself to create smaller individualized copies of Itself within Itself. Source used this mechanism to create the first level of sub-threads of Itself, or Sub-Selves. It did this to explore and experience many-ness, rather than one-ness, and accelerate exploration of Itself, existence and its evolution. Source used a mechanism of lowering the frequency of portions of its energies, stepping them down into the lower frequency bands of the energetic field. The exciting and awesome factor is that anything that a Sub-Self experiences is also experienced by its parent/Higher Self and thus forms the basis for an evolutionary strategy — massively parallel experiences!

     The process of subdivision of consciousness continues with the Sub-Selves splitting into each level of consciousness and further contributing to theirs’ and Source’s evolution. It’s like a multi-level branching tree with Source Consciousness the tree trunk dividing into many large branches, which keep dividing into ever smaller and smaller ones.

     Above our heads resides our Higher Self or Over-Soul, which creates one or more Souls to connect to bodies in the lowered frequency physical Planes of Existence. A physical body is simply a vehicle the Soul uses to have physical experiences. Physical life provides unique and highly formative experiences that are much sought after by a wide variety of non-physical Beings. While challenging, Earth School is a spiritual evolution fast-track and therefore highly coveted!

     The Higher Self IS the True Self! Among those who embrace that they have a Soul many still overly identify with their body as their identity. And those who identify with their Soul may be missing a deeper appreciation of the true scope of their wider and Higher Self, which refers to all levels all the way up to Source Creator. The Over-Soul is the level of your Composite Self that has direct responsibility for your Soul’s existence and interest in the quality of your experiences. But you truly are a part of every level in the chain of your Composite Consciousness and can potentially communicate with and draw information, knowledge and guidance from any level of your Multidimensional Composite Self!

     Your Over-Soul is an immensely wise and powerful Entity that is always encouraging you to create the best experiences for yourself and become the highest vision of yourself. The constant chatter of the ego and analytical mind is what blocks us from connecting to this Higher Self. From the perspective of this higher-wider You, all the Souls that it created and their extensions that are connected to physical bodies, could be considered your “Other Selves”. The higher You is experiencing many lives in parallel. At the end of life the sentient energy connected to that body can be reused with another, so your Over-Soul has lived many lives to make it so wise.

     Your many incarnations can be anywhere in the physical universe – any planet, any galaxy, time period of past, present or future. Since you’re on Earth now, it’s likely that many of the other lives of higher You are also on Earth, probably in other time periods. Earth’s reality system is so challenging it’s made for truly advanced Entities, so if you’re here, then your Other Selves are likely here also, as anywhere else would simply be too boring! Past Life Regression techniques can be used to learn of your other existences in either past or future.

     PROBABLE SELVES, PARALLEL SELVES
     AND MANY LIFE PATHS

     Another way that your Higher Self accelerates its evolution through the use of parallelism is to experience all possible/probable life paths! Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you had made a different choice at a critical juncture in your life? Well, so did your Soul, but instead of just wondering it divides its consciousness yet again, creating a sub-thread of its consciousness to follow and experience each alternate life path.

     At every decision point of any significance, one portion of your Soul’s sentience follows branch A, and another follows branch B. Your Soul is experiencing all possible/probable life paths in parallel! The YOU that you think of as You is just a sub-thread of your Soul that’s experiencing one particular branch of the life path decision tree. Your Soul (and Over-Soul) are integrating all those threads of experience and getting wiser very rapidly because of it.

     On a life path, at each significant decision point the path branches. A decision tree represents all possible paths. All of these are experienced by your Soul. This mechanism creates a massively parallel experience which maximizes the evolutionary potential for the Soul, for the Over-Soul, and for Source, and since all are experienced by your Higher Consciousness, they trickle up. The Soul threads that follow each of the possible paths of experience could in a sense, be called “Probable Selves” since there’s one for each possible or probable life path. These Probable Selves are all very real as are all the alternate experiences they’re having – with all being accumulated by your higher levels of Self. Imagine how much one could learn by experiencing every possible alternative life path and all their outcomes!

     Thus, the Highest Self is the One Self. “Life has everything to do with you. But with Big You, not with Little You; with Universal You, not with Local You. There is only One of us.” Neale Donald Walsch, “Conversations With God”, Book I. Once you comprehend the multidimensional nature of your Beingness, your perspective will broaden. You may begin to see yourself not as the body and ego here on Earth but as your true Essence — your eternal Higher Self and know that in a very real sense, your “Highest Self” IS Source Consciousness! And an even greater realization may be that since the consciousness of all Entities/Beings are ultimately threads of Source Consciousness, and hence we are all parts of the One Universal Consciousness, then in a very real sense, there is only “One Self”.

     All levels of consciousness and all its focal points or Beingness are ultimately within, and integral parts of, Source Consciousness — the One Being. As this One Being is your Highest Self, then in a sense, all Entities/Beings could be considered “Your-Self”. This is why it makes sense to treat all with the utmost respect, care, encouragement and love— because it’s ALL You! Source says, “I am the eternal state of being within each and every one of you. I am you, you are me, we are One.”

     ARE YOU A HYPER-DIMENSIONAL ENTITY?

     Well, Soul Travel Rules state if you see the following 12 changes, you are turning into a Hyper-Dimensional Entity! As the Earth is in the process of ascending from a 3D reality to a Hyper-Dimensional one, even our bodies will feel the changes as we prepare ourselves to live in a whole new reality. These changing times and fluctuations can be challenging. But preparing ourselves for this great shift and its impact will help us navigate through these confusing but enlightening days. Here are the signs:

     1. You no longer find synthetic foods even remotely appetizing because you have become aware of the importance of healthy nutrition.
     2. You feel like you’re under the weather a lot. Aches, body pains and other such symptoms surface when there is enormous amount of energy working its way through your body.
     3. You are finally able to see why certain things in the past had to happen the way they did.
     4. You seek peace and quiet. No matter how much a party freak you were before, you want a quieter life now.
     5. You feel the need to heal yourself as the changes around you take the toll on your body. And you find yoga, meditation, and other such natural remedies more useful.
     6. Your understanding of time is going through a rapid and radical shift.
     7. You no longer take things for given. You have your doubts about the ‘facts’ which are being served to you by popular media and you do your due diligence before believing anything any more.
     8. Same with what is happening in politics. You are much more aware of its inner workings than before.
     9. You also prefer to be in the company of people who can remain peaceful as silence appeals to you more.
     10. You are finally letting go of people who bring negative or toxic vibes in your life and who can’t help in your growth.
     11. You find that you are full of a new kind of energy. It is a new something which you’ve never felt before.
     12. You feel a change within you as you finally find the balance within. You are ready for any new challenges because you now have complete belief in your own powers.

     Thank you all for being here. Let me add that individually, as a Society and in life, let’s move forward more each day toward the coming C of U. With intent set your sights and through whatever changes are to come, don’t let the sun go down on you and your special gifts and creations! All Is Well and All Will Be Well … My love goes out to you. Goodnight.

     In Dayton, Tennessee, the so-called “Monkey Trial” begins with John Thomas Scopes, a young
     high school science teacher, accused of teaching evolution in violation of a Tennessee state law.

     The law, which had been passed in March, made it a misdemeanor punishable by fine to “teach
     any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to
     teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.” With local businessman
     George Rappalyea, Scopes had conspired to get charged with this violation, and after his arrest
     the pair enlisted the aid of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to organize a defense.
     Hearing of this coordinated attack on Christian fundamentalism, William Jennings Bryan,
     the three-time Democratic presidential candidate and a fundamentalist hero, volunteered
     to assist the prosecution. Soon after, the great attorney Clarence Darrow agreed to join the
     ACLU in the defense, and the stage was set for one of the most famous trials in U.S. history.

     On July 10, the Monkey Trial got underway, and within a few days hordes of spectators and
     reporters had descended on Dayton as preachers set up revival tents along the city’s main
     street to keep the faithful stirred up. Inside the Rhea County Courthouse, the defense
     suffered early setbacks when Judge John Raulston ruled against their attempt to prove the
     law unconstitutional and then refused to end his practice of opening each day’s proceeding
     with prayer.

     Outside, Dayton took on a carnival-like atmosphere as an exhibit featuring two chimpanzees
     and a supposed “missing link” opened in town, and vendors sold Bibles, toy monkeys, hot
     dogs, and lemonade. The missing link was in fact Jo Viens of Burlington, Vermont, a
     51-year-old man who was of short stature and possessed a receding forehead
     and a protruding jaw. One of the chimpanzees–named Joe Mendi–wore a
     plaid suit, a brown fedora, and white spats, and entertained Dayton’s
     citizens by monkeying around on the courthouse lawn.

     In the courtroom, Judge Raulston destroyed the defense’s strategy by ruling that expert
     scientific testimony on evolution was inadmissible–on the grounds that it was Scopes
     who was on trial, not the law he had violated. The next day, Raulston ordered the
     trial moved to the courthouse lawn, fearing that the weight of the crowd inside
     was in danger of collapsing the floor.In front of several thousand spectators in
     the open air, Darrow changed his tactics and as his sole witness called Bryan
     in an attempt to discredit his literal interpretation of the Bible. In a searching
     examination, Bryan was subjected to severe ridicule and forced to make
     ignorant and contradictory statements to the amusement of the crowd.
     On July 21, in his closing speech, Darrow asked the jury to return a verdict of
     guilty in order that the case might be appealed. Under Tennessee law, Bryan was thereby
     denied the opportunity to deliver the closing speech he had been preparing for weeks. After
     eight minutes of deliberation, the jury returned with a guilty verdict, and Raulston ordered Scopes
     to pay a fine of $100, the minimum the law allowed. Although Bryan had won the case, he had been publicly
     humiliated and his fundamentalist beliefs had been disgraced. Five days later, on July 26, he lay down
     for a Sunday afternoon nap and never woke up.

     In 1927, the Tennessee Supreme Court overturned the Monkey Trial verdict
     on a technicality but left the constitutional issues unresolved until 1968,
     when the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a similar Arkansas law on the
     grounds that it violated the First Amendment.

196. Hello out there in Neothink-Land if anyone is still reading this!! I will be speaking on School of Genius-Rise of Neo-Tech call tonight, July 10th. The subject will follow my message last time about Dimensions and Densities. It will encompass parallel universes/realities, our Soul and Over-Souls, and our Multi-Dimensionality!! Come find out if you are alive and well in other dimensions and timelines right now! We are truly living in a fascinating time as the world morphs and changes and we do so with it as we rise in our consciousness!

     Yes, the times they are a-changin’ and things in the Society are going through growing pains right now just like the rest of the world. Take advantage of what’s here and Now in this Moment in Time! Stop in and join us! Love to you all. Thank you, Dr. Frank Wallace and Mark Hamilton for your inspiring and life-changing works.

     Ya’all come – 6:00 Central Time, see ya there!

     Judith

197. Hi Wayne, Bruce and others … where did we all go, I wonder? Thanks so much for keeping this going. Maybe the site will re-surge after change go into effect. Cowboy, I really appreciated your comments about the dimensions and densities message last time on School of Genius … it was a lot of effort but so interesting to learn about I’m so glad I took the time out from real life to study it. Thanks for the kudos, kiddo … my greatest support! So glad you are doing better and hanging in … love and light to you, my Neo-Friend.

     Judith

198. Thank you for allowing people freedom of speech in this free-for-all site about anything from science to sports! Wikipedia shut-down facts after a political run, and, so did news” stations during my attendance at the Muppet March as a 3rd party candidate the weekend before the 2012 Primary Election!
     Congratulations for providing this platform for people to know what happens to those not part of the ruling-class! It is a tragedy Dr. Frank R. Wallace is not around to see this outpouring of gratitude for his drive to show human beings the power of consciousness and the need for pure love and honesty! 7.9.18

199. Hello. Today’s integration is from Jay Shetty and is titled ” Changing the world starts with you.” Although this is not Neo-think material, I thought it had a great message.
     “Albert Einstein famously remarked in a conversation with Werner Heisenberg. He said, ” You know
     , in the West we’ve built a beautiful ship and in it, it has all the comforts”but actually , the one thing it doesn’t have is a compass and that’s why it doesn’t know where it’s going.” The paradox of times was propounded by the Dahlia Lama. He said, “We have wider freeways but narrower viewpoints,” We have taller buildings but shorter tempers.” Will Smith said that “We spend money we haven’t earned on things we don’t need to impress people we don’t like.” And it’s phenomenal how the same technology that brings us close to those who are far away takes us far away from the people who are actually close. Thirty(30) billion “WhatsApp messages are sent in a single day but Forty-Eight (48) Percent of people say that they feel lonelier in general. The paradox of our times is that we more degrees but less sense, more knowledge but less judgement, more experts but less solutions. It was Martin Luther King who said that ” The irony of our times is that we have guided missiles but misguided men.” Have you ever found it perplexing that we have been all the way to the moon and back but we struggle to start a conversation across the road or across the train, and it’s amazing that Bill Gates was known as the top earner in 2015 and with a wealth of Seventy Nine billion, but one in four CEO’s claim to be struggling from depression. And do actually thrive off this paradox . Is it that this paradox actually makes the media interesting? Is it what makes journalism interesting? Is it what makes politics interesting? It’s what makes television interesting? Is this paradox what we feed off and what we live off of and what we talk about and discuss in our circles? Doesn’t it seem that we’ve tried to clean the air but polluted our soul? We’ve split the atom but not our prejudice. We are aiming for higher incomes but we have lower morals. So I am hearing you ask , “How do we bring a change? How do we dissect this paradox that exists in our lives? And it starts by us, each of us, pressing pause. Pressing reset and pressing play again. Taking a moment to become more conscious. Taking a moment to become more aware, taking a moment to really reflect on the consequence , the implication of a misplaced word, of an unnecessary argument that we all know we didn’t need to have, or to speak to some one just slightly different, in a different tone, in a different voice, in a different empathy, with a different perspective, just to really connect with people on a different level. This thinking out loud started from Albert Einstein and I’ll track back to him when he said “The problems that we have today can’t be solved with the same thinking we used when we once created them, so actually we need alternative teachings. we need to dig down into those ancient books of wisdom, We need to go back to understanding if there is anything written in those creased pages of time that conceal more knowledge and more wisdom of how we can transform our experience of likes today.”. Otherwise this paradox means that every step forward we take, were taking three backwards every time. I hope you got something from this message, and Love everybody while you still have time.

200. 6/14/18. I have to admit that I became totally engrossed in the two books I have read by Ayn Rand. Pretty sure I was not overly overwhelmed and persuaded by any new world philosophy of limitless prosperity and romantic excitement , but I do believe her portrayal of her two main characters , Howard Roark in The Fountain Head and John Galt in Atlas Shrugged were commendable and admirable. Also at one point the very idea of finding that village in the Colorado Rockies was a pipe dream of mine since I used to live in Loveland before the whole state became over run. In recent years, the population explosion has covered every square foot of what was once a living paradise. So my perspective of objectivism from her approach and my summation was that they ( The 2 books mentioned) were that they were exciting and attention holding pieces of literature that I am glad I read, and as well received as many other writers who have written fiction and consider to be good reading.

201. I am not and never have been an objectivist. I did once listen to a lecture by Ayn Rand at Yale. I sat beside my philosophy lecturer and threw a paper airplace (which did no damage). He smiled.

202. A final tribute to an old friend.
     Say goodbye to Simon the silly cross eyed cat. After years of being one of my best friends old age crept in once again and stole my pal away as it does with all living creatures whether it be man or beast. Actually Simon was never silly, but extremely shy and loving, and a worthy companion who never let me down or criticized or complained. As a lot of you recall he came into my life when Tom , my son in law rescued him from a dumpster where he had been left to die. That was 10 years ago and in earlier years with Neo-Tech he had become an intricate part of my life and the subject of many of my blogs which made him popular with many. As harsh as this may sound, I have lost my wife, my dog Leo and my cat. So take and listen. Until we find those cures for old age and diseases, and biological immortality is expanded, live your life like there are no tomorrows, enjoy each and every day that you are able and LOVE everything and every one because their is no time for hate or malice or jealousy to occupy your heart that creates hate.. I will miss my old companion waiting at my bedside to bid me goodnight…Goodbye old friend.

203. 5/10/18 . This posted item on FB stemmed the imagination of an overly drained brain while may have been daydreaming and in another space in time billions miles away.. The map depicts the most detailed map of our Universe to date. The map contains over 100,000 galaxies and spans more than 500 million light years The milky way galaxy is part of a super cluster 100 times bigger than previously thought. Galaxies tend to huddle in groups called clusters. Regions of density packed clusters are known as super clusters. Astronomers have mapped the enormous region using a new way to define the boundaries of each super cluster they have named “Laniakea” Hiawiian for ” Immensentable heaven”. The Milky Way is located in the furthest reaches of the structure. The team gathered data on more than 8000 neighboring galaxies and they mapped there positions and movement in space as this method is far superior to just mapping the location of matter and relies on detecting the galaxies “influence ” instead of seeing them directly. It also enables us to build a map of uncharted regions of the Universe scientists previously placed the Milky Way in the Vigo super cluster but under the new method, this region becomes just an appendage of the much larger Laniakea”, which is 520 million light years across, and contains the mass of 100 million billions suns. Although the map is comprehensive over the Universe around the Milky Way its distance measurements become less accurate the further out you go but adding more galaxy measurements will improve the map and could eventually help scientists fully uncover what is behind the motion of our local group of galaxies. The entire Universe can be seen as a cosmic web of galaxies. Some areas are almost empty dark voids. The Milky Way is only one of countless such galaxies. It’s a spiral galaxy, about 100,000 light years across and has a central budge surrounded by 4 large spiral arms. Spiral Galaxies make up about 2/3 of the galaxies in the Universe. The Milky Way is constantly rotating . The Solar system travels at 828,000 KM 1 h(515,000 MPH” ) It will take the solar system about 230 million years to travel all the way around the Milky way. All the above information and sources should be considered to be factual. The rest is pure vision that I had that could be a spark of pure genius on my behalf , or just the effects of months of taking too many hallucinating prescription drugs, but either way, in my vision I seen a dude hovering over his computer with an easy sounding name like “Mike” and he was manipulating the key board with such great dexterity and concentration as he kept increasing the sizes and volume of more and more galaxies to that map and he was heard mumbling something like ” Beat that George Lucas !!!!! I hope this was all taken with good humor, and yeah, Love was injected into this silly little blog to my Neo-Think believers..

204. Second try already for this 5/3/18 morning in the beautiful black hills .. This last two weeks has been one step forward, two steps back. Just when I thought I was making headway, I fell into that mode of one disturbing ailment after another. Up till now, I was under the impression that thrush was some kind of bird, so you can imagine my surprise when I was diagnosed with it.( after all I wasn’t chirping like a bird !) I happened upon an article that does a reasonable explanation of what it is.
     ‘Misuse of antibiotics is leading to dangerous bacterial resistance. ( It is estimated that by 2050 Ten million people will die every year due to anticrobial resistance.) When a antibiotic drug has no longer any effect on certain types of bacteria , that bacterium is said to be antibiotic resistant. Resistant bacteria can survive and multiply in the presence of a antibiotic and cause severe infections in humans. The increasing number of drug resistant infections results in more serious illnesses and is causing more deaths from previously treatable illnesses such as typhoid, tuberculosis and gonorrhea. Misuse of antibiotics is resulting in prolonged recovery and frequent hospitalization.
     Antibiotics are the most commonly prescribed drugs used in human medicine. Up to 50% of all the antibiotics prescribed for people are unnecessary , or are not optimally effective as prescribed. Antibiotics can not differentiate between good and bad bacteria. Their misuse can upset your sensitive gut flora. Antibiotics can wipe out many gut bacteria that support immunity and digestion. Antibiotic resistant bacteria can transfer their resistance properties to other bacteria, this is how overuse of antibiotics turn good bacteria into bad microbes, In addition to antibiotic resistance , overusing antibiotics can lead to other problems In children it can cause fatal diarrhea. When children are given antibiotics for common colds and sore throats, the become vulnerable to a antibiotic resistant bacterium called Clostridium. This bacterium , found in the human gut , causes severe diarrhea. Appropriate use of antibiotics can help reduce antibiotic resistance and help improve the effectiveness of current ones. In order to prevent over use of antibiotics , it is important to only take them for bacterial infections as they are not effective against viruses such as the common cold etc., and only take as recommended by your Doctor. If you take antibiotics , always complete the full course, otherwise stopping a treatment early only promotes the growth of drug resistant bacteria. Physicians should always avoid over prescribing antibiotics .” Hope you picked up some info on the subject of antibiotics for future reference. Credits for this article were from the U.S. Natl Library of Medicine, Harvard Medical school, and a host of others. Thanks Mark for this space, I LOVE you guys.!!!

205. The week has been a difficult one, and I pretty ignored my Mini-day schedule, and my reading, along with the different programs that I enjoy so so much. With that ,I will leave this short but positive note for all my fellow Neo-Thinkers .
     ” It is impossible to get through a single day without having an impact on the people around us. What we do makes a difference, and we have to decide what kind of difference we want to make. In a world where you can be anything , be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people.” Anon. Sending flashes of LOVE on to all my fellow friends.

206. good morning fellow Neo-Thinkers.
     This is way outside the box, but inspiration is where I can find it. This piece is from a message posted on FB, but it seemed like a message that is fitting anywhere.
     ” I wish I didn’t take life so seriously,
     I wish I lived more.
     I wish I had gave more happiness to my family.
     I wish I knew how precious life was,
     how fleeting , how special.
     and at the same time , fragile, insignificant.
     I wish I didn’t give up on my dreams so easily,
     One day life will flash before your eyes, Make sure it’s worth watching.
     When we look back on our lives, In our last breaths,
     we will all wonder, did my life mean anything?
     Did my life mean anything to this world?
     Was I loved? Did I have any impact on anybody else’s life? Did I matter?
     We won’t be worried about our bills . We wont be worried about our hair.
     We certainly wont be worried about our favorite TV show.
     We wont spare a second thought of others opinions and judgements.
     Did I matter? Before you reach that last breath, today might be the time to make a change.
     Make your life matter. One day it will be over. There will be two dates on either side of a dash,
     Make sure that dash is not empty. Make sure it is full of life, full of living.
     Oscar Wilde once said—–“TO LIVE IS THE RAREST THING IN THE WORLD, MOST PEOPLE EXIST, THAT IS ALL”.
     and he was right. Don’t live like everyone else, exist, be extra ordinary! Live every moment with passion and wonder, don’t take ano one or any thing for granted.
     What is important to you. What dreams do you have? Go get them. Go get them, what are you waiting for?
     You only have one shot, if you miss the target, at least you will live with pride knowing you have no regrets.
     Who did you love? Who has loved you? TELL THEM, TELL THEM NOW!!! You will never know when it’s
     your last chance. Don’t take this magical thing called life for granted, Keep you head when everyone else is loosing theirs, Trust yourself when everyone doubts you. Master your dreams when all others give up on theirs,
     BE THE CAPTAIN when everyone else wants to be in the crew. BE THE LION when all others are playing sheep.
     BE THE LEADER when all others are being the followers.. Live each day like it might be your last day on earth.
     It may be, leave your legacy!!!!! ” I found these words fitting for every decent man or woman on this planet Earth. You could not have all the ingredients above with out pure LOVE on your lips and in your heart. Thanks Mark for the space to share this.

207. 4/21/18 Week end is here again.
     From the Rise of Neo-Tech.. First of all, the proper description of Concept is : A thought, notion, or idea, & organized around a main idea or theme.
     A percept is an expression of an object obtained by the use of the senses.
     Dr. Wallace says ” The nature of man is that he , unlike all other animals , has the unique ability to think in terms of concepts.. No other animal can think significantly beyond percepts. Furthermore , man can integrate two or more concepts into new and still wider and more abstract concepts. The logical integrations of concepts is called reasoning. Man’s survival mechanism is his reasoning ability. Unlike all other animals whose survival mechanisms work automatically , he alone must choose to exert the effort required to reason properly. If his ability to function through reason is impaired , undermined or damaged by misuse or nonuse, his quality of life, his self worth and his long range happiness are reduced accordingly.” (I couldn’t help but wonder that if Dr. Wallace were allowed to sit on a bench at the local Wal-mart , and witness what is taking place in the streets and on the campuses of our once great nation today, would he be inclined to change his mind about man and the definition of concepts? Forgive the sarcasm but it seems folks I have known all my life to be kind loving humans seems to be loosing there ability to think, THANK YOU, Mark for allowing us this space, and may everybody find a reason to love again.

208. First of all, I want to say thanks to our pal(omino) friend from Texas who so graciously took the time to post her great integrations on the subject of the different dimensions. Her explanation is the very best I have encountered yet. Personally I believe I am hanging out here in 3rd D. at the moment , however , and not in a jokingly mode, as things are changing in my Earth bound body , just maybe I am morphing back and forth to the 4th D. on occasion , and even the 5thD there are indications that might be ascending . Also BIG THANKS to Bruce Morris for his outstanding integrations to our other wise dying page.
     So not one to attempt to add anything to Judith’s superlative explanation regarding the dimensions, I decided to explore yet another route to our future. Whether you believe this article to be a gateway to our future or an out and out scam, that’s up to you, but it does hold some interesting prospects.
     Subject : The Venus Project. This project is the brainchild and vision of one Jacque Fresco. To the best of my knowledge . this gentleman is 102 years old and still mobile and still has his vision of building a self sustainable village that is energy efficient while making use of natural resources. They call it a “resource Based Economy” or “One world , No Government”. I couldn’t help but wonder if the people who are actively involved in this project, have already reached the 4th, 5th, 6th D;s and beyond. He wants to create a world without money, where everyone is provided for, but the bottom line being for the well being of people and the protection of our environment. If it’s a scam, he has been working on it for 88 years? He claims that he has studied communism, socialism, free enterprise and they were all lacking. He wishes to build a society without borders , where science and technology can provide a high standard of living all with out the use of money. He uses a library as an example, He states that since a library doesn’t take any money , that proves that you can work a system out where people can access to things with out money. He goes on to say that every thing will be fully automation so people will have more free time , so how does work happen in the future? Machines will operate machines , and the best way to do it is to leave it up to machines and humans have participation , they just reap the benefits. The economy is driven by science rather than profits. The project is applying the methods of science to the way we live. to the social system . We don’t do that today, we have vested interest , opinion and money. He concedes that the village is still an experiment , but a necessary one since the current system isn’t working, so the value system doesn’t correspond with the real world. What may be exciting is in the method the city is being built in circles, homes and buildings designed in dome like structures which can resist weather problems , and the types of materials used to construct them with. . Ok , another long integration, but I know several members in this society now who has similar visions and dreams of there own. Perhaps way West, ? (There is a lot of West to expand to)(, so kudos to those who dare to follow there dreams) Here’s hoping any one who happens by finds this article interesting. Love You.

210. NEOTHINK SOCIETY
     SCHOOL OF GENIUS – RISE OF NEO-TECH
     April 17, 2018
     Judith Curless

     THE HUMANITY TEMPLATE
     Dynamics of Dimensions & Densities

     Welcome fellow Neothinkers! And thank you Digger, Charlie and Mark for this time to explore new things together. Exciting to be here again looking around our group in this awesome cavern at Aladdin’s Cave. All the smiling faces I see flickering in the candlelight in anticipation as we draw close in a circle high above the world’s cares.

     Reaching into the treasure chest now … All right! Here’s a synchronicity with Digger’s request last month for this very topic! Wonder how that happened? The title tonight is, The Humanity Template – Dynamics of Dimensions & Densities. We may need to stretch time a bit to even approach describing this very evolved subject matter. It’s been a challenging journey of discovery on my part as I morphed into a ‘digger-in-training’ for the amount of research it required!

     One surprise was learning there aren’t that many ‘quantum physics’ definitions to be found about this branch of physics that uses quantum theory to describe and predict the properties of a physical system (aka quantum mechanics). There are so many mysteries in this field today, our current understanding of reality seems unequipped to grasp all the phenomena. This information will be available to print out at wikipediavsneo-tech. So let’s relax, settle back in comfort and turn on our thinking minds!

     HUMANITY’S AWAKENING TO REMEMBERING

     Who am I? What am I doing here? Is there any purpose to my life? All questions asked down through time on our eternal quest as a child becoming self-aware. And still we ask. Only now … From the ruins of ancient civilizations, rapidly advancing knowledge of quantum science realms and steadily rising consciousness, answers echo back. George Bernard Shaw said, “Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.” In our Awakening a Universal Consciousness process, we’re now living in a Breakthrough Reality preparing for transmutation. We’re remembering who we are as Earth’s game of illusion is about to end and we experience a transition. Humanity has been trapped on the Wheel of Life and Death of a 3D Planet, however, we’ve arrived at the point of transforming our Earth vessel to expand our consciousness into 4D/5D Beings.

     Some Earth Humans will shift from 3rd Dimensional Physical expression of Self into 4th Dimensional Astral expression of Self. Others will shift into 5th Dimensional Light Body expression of Self. Some may shift into 6th Dimensional Light Being or 7th Dimensional Over-Soul. Since Earth has always been such a diverse planet, some could even be ready to shift into their 8th Dimensional (or higher) expressions of Self! However, many of these will choose to shift to 5d to use their Multi-dimensional energy fields to assist the entire Planet’s rising consciousness. This temporary sacrifice is bringing the rarity and adventure of Gaia’s transmutation into a Fifth Dimensional ‘Light Planet’!

     These events occur as more people know they’re Multi-dimensional and returning to 5d! Gaia has already become Her planetary Light Body, so as this Awakening/Ascension process continues it will move ever faster leaving 3D/4D Time, into the Now of 5D and beyond. Because Earth is making the shift, so are we – a first in Galactic history! The lifetime in which a Human or Planet makes that breakthrough is known as the “Transmutational Reality”. This is the case as increasing numbers of Earth’s inhabitants are peeking through the veil of illusion to find that which was always there, but they’ve forgotten. Humanity’s ultimate goal is to return to Source Creator Consciousness one Level of the ladder at a time through the Dimensions/Densities.

     Elaine Seiler, author of ‘Multi-Dimensional You: Exploring Energetic Evolution’ writes: “Science is now moving closer to documenting the effects of other Dimensional realities. Even with the best technology in the world today, science can only observe effects, not the reality itself. You are becoming a new species. The vibrations in and around you are increasing in speed and you are all adjusting to these higher Dimensional energies (consciously or unconsciously). Without awareness of this process, you may feel lost, overwhelmed, anxious and hopeless. With a shift of consciousness, you can thrive as well as create your future.” Sounds like words from Dr. Wallace and Mark, doesn’t it?

     So, what’s occurring to cause our remembering process? What IS rending the veil of mysticisms and illusions of this matrix world system? Strong light code bombardment through cosmic stargate floodgates increasing to stimulate 5D DNA strands, energy fields and body meridians. 2018 will see consistent flow through the gateways since activation completion in mid-December. Our Earth has again increased Her Vibration, making it easier for us to be activated into a Higher Frequency State. Earth is slightly ahead of Humans in the Ascension process as we are just taking the ride, but we may tune into Her core to feel the Vibration.

     Once acclimated to these Higher Vibrations coming off Earth, the Vibration rises again. Earth is a conscious Being that’s always helped and loved Humanity. The core of the Earth is Her heart, where Source Energy Dimension resides, with more energy now flowing through. Walk with bare feet and open heart to connect with a very large Being beneath you and joyfully receive the activations and changes you can feel more daily. You’re walking yourself into a new Human template!

     In the book ‘A New Earth’ Eckhart Tolle states, “What the future holds for you depends on your state of consciousness now. Living your dream is the greatest gift you can give to the world. There is nothing higher.” Now, let’s look at some words from my messages.

     Ascension: My simple definition – The Spiritual Evolution and physical evolution process of our soul’s moving up through the Levels of Consciousness, as we generally move through them sequentially. We attain higher States of consciousness where ever we may be, although one usually will feel it as the radical shift in perspective alters how one perceives and creates their reality. Also, each Individual’s consciousness contributes to the Collective consciousness field. Humanity’s current Ascension process is rising into the Fifth Dimension when we and Earth reach the tipping point of the Event horizon.

     Template: “Anything that serves as a specimen; a model.”

     Universe: “Everything that physically exists; including the entirety of Space and Time, all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them. The Universe (or Cosmos) is usually considered to have begun about 13.7 billion years ago in a gravitational singularity commonly known as the Big Bang, and has been expanding ever since. Some have speculated that this Universe is just one of many disconnected universes, which are collectively denoted as the Multivers.” (A future topic about Multi-Dimensionality and the Superstring Theory).

     Cosmos: “The World or Universe seen as an orderly, harmonious system.”

     Galaxy: “An enormous gravitationally bound assemblage of millions or billions of stars.”
     Galaxy Cluster: “Gravitationally bound assemblage of dozens to thousands of galaxies.”

     Logos: “A template for pure Source Consciousness in form, often expressing as stars. Solaris, our Sun, is transitioning from Sub-Logos to Logos.” She’s achieved Stardom!

     LET’S EXPLORE DIMENSIONS!

     Dimensions are not physical, but subtle realms of existence. Ancient history reveals the Vedic civilization (of 1500 b.c.) in India considered itself to be part of a greater Universal family. Veds have extensive descriptions of star races, space ships, ascended masters, etc. In Vedic (the Vedas 4 books & Sanskrit origins of Hindu), 14 Dimensions are called “Lokhs”. 7 lower/descending exist below the physical Universe. The higher 7 are: Bhu – Physical 3D Universe. Bhuvar – Includes souls who died, relating to 4D. Svah or Dev – Where Beings of Light (Devas) reside. Dev means ‘illuminated one’ relating to 5D. These three are where most souls recycle from birth to death to birth again, called ‘Samsara’.

     Next is Maha (6D). Jana (7D). Tapa (8D). Highest is Brahma/Satya Lokh (9D). All these are still in the sphere of creation, duality or Maya. Beyond this is Brahman, Ultimate Supreme Consciousness. The concept of ‘Mokasha’ was liberation from cycle of birth and death, transcending duality into a realization of Oneness, merging back to Brahman. With One Infinite Source, it’s a beautiful endless journey in Eternity and Infinity. We are like one speck of a fractal, an exact replica of the Whole infinitely replicating itself!

     Quantum Physicist, Ph.D., John Hagelin says the foundation of the Universe is a single Universal field of intelligence. Particles of nature are understood to be One, a Universal ocean of pure, vibrant consciousness in motion. We are just different ripples on a single ocean of existence. “Just as the waves are continuous with the ocean, your body is continuous with the total energy system of the Cosmos, and it’s all YOU.” Alan Watts

     New evidence shows that everything is energy and the result of an indiscernible sound wave or Frequency. Vibrational Frequency creates the energy that becomes solid matter. Galaxies, planets, animals, plants and Humans are all just waves of vibration of this Unified Field. In essence, hard to grasp, but we are literally all One at the core!

     Experiences are the lenses of varying Frequency Dimensions. This is a holographic meeting place, Earth. You see and experience what you do through the lenses you have on, which is your Frequency and the Dimension which you are functioning through. You ARE your own world and Dimension – and the lenses are your Frequency!

     NAVIGATING THROUGH THE DIMENSIONS

     There’s no doubt that other realms or Dimensions exist in this Universe. Referring to ‘Higher Dimensions’ isn’t figurative realms populated by mysterious beings. They are real spatial Dimensions which do exist and refer to Levels of teaching/learning, karma/growth. We also have different States of Consciousness. These Dimensions available to us on Earth are referred to as 3D/4D/5D or a combination of all three. Most likely the majority of people are moving back and forth across two or three Dimensional Consciousness States, depending on where they are in their lives.

     Even though we’re all living on the same Planet surrounded by the same world, our perception of it will be different depending on which State of Consciousness we choose to see things at. Those perceiving things from a 3D State are going to walk through life much differently to someone perceiving things from a 5D State! In my past two messages I’ve mentioned consciously turning our back on the old world and choosing to create the new. Visualizing our coming C of U. Also, turning that choice into new life habits and ways of thinking – voila! – that’s using Neothink!

     First Dimension: This State is one single line stretching to infinity.

     Second Dimension: A 2D State consists of all possible states of a line. An axis of two lines or a plane. A flatland; i.e. a sheet of paper with depth & width stretching out to infinity.

     Third Dimension: The 3D State is our current world. Did Source Creator ponder the idea of “If I only had Time” while mulling over the design stage of the Creation? Time is a necessary tool so that experience can be gained from choices taken and changes made at an appropriate pace for learning. In the Great Here and Now, the underlying reality of Infinite Being, Time as we know it does not exist. But in order to enjoy the adventure of immersion in a physical Universe, Infinite Being and its Creator aspect needed the Dimensional property that we call ‘Time’.

     The popular concept of Dimensions today is that we live in a Four-Dimensional world – three Dimensions of Space and one of Time. However, the Law of Creation has three components and a tendency to self-replicate. There is one Creator Source, organized into three aspects – Intention, Attraction and Motion – and the Dimensional properties of matter are created by each of those aspects creating three varieties of itself. Three times three varieties means that there are a total of nine Dimensional properties of matter.

     Time is one of the nine Dimensional properties of physical matter. Another is Space because of the Law of Creation’s tendency to self-replicate. Furthermore, there are three varieties or directions of Space – commonly expressed as length, breadth and height. Just as there are three varieties of Space, there are three varieties of Time. The tick-tock time of the clock on the wall is called Linear Time. It passes at a fixed rate, regardless of whatever you do to change your perception of how slowly or quickly it is passing.

     Variety Two of Time is called Experiential Time, which relates to inner consciousness and feelings more than to the outer world, so its significance to you increases as your frequency of consciousness rises. The spirit world afterlife is a subtle, Higher Frequency version of physical experience where it plays much more of a role than Linear Time.

     Variety Three of Time comes into play when you become more attuned to your soul’s level of consciousness as it produces Timelines. These are Alternate Realities which are potentially of interest to your soul. Any primary change in your focus, such as a spiritual Awakening experience, will shift you onto a more appropriate Timeline. The shift will be obvious to your soul level of awareness, but your physical brain is only designed to be aware of your current Timeline, so it will only recognize that life is somehow better than it used to be. The great miracle of the Dimension of Time is not that it can have multiple Timeline versions or that it can expand or contract to suit your consciousness, but that Linear Time can produce the illusion of slow change when all that really exists is the Great Here and Now.

     In order to play out our lives of experience, think of a motion picture where the films are a sequence of static photographs projected at a fast rate so the brain sees them as fluid motion. Just so, the Universe flashes off and on millions of times per second and is re-created in each of the flashing frames. Each frame is a different viewpoint of the Great Here and Now. With the framework for Time in place, Human decisions may be made and subsequent changes unfold in their proper timing.

     Living from a 3D State, consciousness is viewing things as purely physical, or living in the material world. You are seen as an individual separate from others. Life feels like “the survival of the fittest” and you’re identified by the way you look, job or career, the car you drive and people you associate with. You feel fearful about missing out or not having enough, since there’s not enough for everyone, so some people have to miss out. Things are conceived as being ‘good or bad’ and life is a competition. Thus, fulfillment is found in making money and social status.

     A lot of Time is mis-spent thinking about the past, present or in anticipating the future. Your thoughts have no power over your Reality and what comes your way in life is simply its coincidence. You rely on your five senses to move through the world. There is a lot of joy in living life from the 3D State, but pain and deeper emotions can be extreme. There’s no true desire to go deeper within, so life plays out by simply skimming the surface.

     Fourth Dimension: Living from a 4D State is interesting as it is all about Time. There’s a pretty solid belief that it acts as a gateway to the 5th. From 4D it’s also easy to travel back to 3D. One begins to awaken to the idea that we’re all connected and there’s more to life than what meets the eye. Thoughts are very powerful and can shift the way Reality is perceived. Duality and the idea of good and bad is still experienced, but with more compassion and understanding.

     There is an opening to the importance of diet, meditation and leading a healthy lifestyle. You pay attention to what you put in your body and how your actions affect others and the environment. A strong desire to find your purpose and follow your passions arises as life is meant to be enjoyed and you’re worthy to live the life of your dreams! You perceive the world through six senses now as your intuition grows and expands. You seek deeper meaning to life with synchronicity and appearance of ten second miracles of the Universe. You may recognize many of us on this call or in Neothink have possibly been living at this Level or higher for quite some time now.

     Our Astral body is in 4D. There was a huge fascination with this Dimension and a fad in the late 1800’s to study ghosts. It was an era of mediums in which Spiritualism emerged, an American religious movement focused on communicating with spirits of dead people. Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) was the first philosopher to discuss the possibility of the Fourth Dimension. The idea of spirits as 4D Beings was popularized by Johann Zollner (1834-1882), an astronomer at the University of Leipzig.

     But the first true theoretician about 4D was British mathematician Charles Hinton (1853-1907) for his work on visualization of the geometry of Higher Dimensional space. Then, between 1907 and 1915, Einstein developed the theory of General Relativity, which states that gravity exists because a large mass causes Three-Dimensional space to bend within the Fourth Dimension.

     Fifth Dimension: Living from a 5D State is like all the different possible arrangements of Time, and all of the Timelines of the Universe at once! We can access all three Levels – Space, Time and Time/Space. From this Level of Consciousness you can see we’re all connected as One. Life’s an adventure of growth and there’s no such thing as good or bad nor any judgment. There’s a higher purpose for all things and experiences hold meaning.

     You understand that everyone is simply on their own journey and considered to be equal with a desire to live from a place of pure authenticity. You now know your purpose is to live your truth and to seek the joy. You realize there’s no competition and abundance enough in the Universe for all. You may feel connected to Higher Evolution Beings. You truly become a value creator bringing forward the desires of your heart using your Friday Night Essence. You have overwhelming emotions of love and compassion for life, Earth and the stars as your consciousness explodes out into the Universe! A 5D Veridical Logic (absolute truth) is now manifest when there’s new information received directly from one’s spirit, providing the data from which to act. This is spontaneous revelation and the Key to living in the Eternal Now. You are, in essence, channeling your Higher Self!

     It’s important to remember that any of these States of Consciousness are not better or worse than the other. Every soul on this Earth has their own journey to walk and their own reasons for choosing which Dimensional State to live from.

     Sixth Through Tenth Dimension:

     We rise! Sixth Dimension is a containment of all the possible variations in a Time Plane or group of different Multiverses. Time is not linear and cannot be measured; instead Time feels endless. It’s possible to access these States through meditation, our dreams and even with certain herbs or plant medicines. This is our last Dimension with a physical body. In 6D or 7D we find three key differences – Perception of Time, Power of Thoughts, and Feelings of Oneness. In 7D our thoughts are so powerful that all we have to do is think about a location and we can travel to it. Now without a physical body, we fly fast as we want, wherever we want, with a strong realization of Unity Consciousness.

     There’s no fear in these States of Being and everything’s perceived from a place of pure, unconditional love. In Higher States of 8D, 9D and 10D it’s believed we’re able to return our energy to Source, merge with others in our soul group and travel to different Galaxies! We can also incarnate back to Earth, other star systems or choose to continue moving up to Higher Levels of Consciousness.

     “When the Human dies, the Life Force of Consciousness, like a drop of rain, rejoins the Ocean of Consciousness, merging with all other sparks of Consciousness, yet never ceasing to BE the drop of rain.” Lissa Rankin

     ONWARD THROUGH THE DENSITIES OF CONSCIOUSNESS!

     So, for the icing on this cake, let’s study an added factor to the Dimension picture called Densities. Density is defined as “The mass of an object divided by its volume, a measure of how much it is compacted or crowded together.” It’s also a term that’s come into common usage to refer to the Levels or States of Consciousness. Its origin is a bit obscure and confusing. The KEY is that Densities relate to the Level of Consciousness and the Frequency Level at which REALITY is created. All Realities are constructs and all things are patterns of energy. It’s called ‘density’ because of a characteristic perceptual effect that’s related to the Level of Reality and the Consciousness perceiving it.

     The Earth is in 3rd Density Level of Reality/Frequency band. Everything appears and feels solid and things cannot pass through one another as the density of the material seems very high. In the Higher Planes/Levels/Densities/Frequency Bands of Reality, it becomes very obvious that ‘things’ are simply projections of the creative mind, so they’re not ‘real’ in the normal sense. In each successively higher Level only consciousness is real and ‘things’ are thought forms within the cosmic mind and patterns of energy. And as one moves up through higher Levels of Reality, ‘things’ appear less and less dense and more able to interpenetrate one another.

     The confusion stems from the fact that Densities are numbered in an order opposite of the apparent density of ‘things’ within those Densities (i.e; ‘things’ in 6th Density Reality are actually of a lower apparent Density than in 3rd Density Reality). But higher Densities do correspond to higher Frequencies. In MY reality, sometimes it’s very difficult for me to even begin to comprehend what I ‘know’ about something … like this for example.

     THE DENSITIES OF CONSCIOUSNESS

     1st Density of Consciousness is the most rudimentary; i.e. elements, earth, fire, water and air. This is a system created to be run on automatic with simple, logical processes; all that is required for 1D entities. Most planets exist at 1st Density populated by inorganic elemental entities and single-cell organisms that metabolize the chemicals available to them from those entities (and they too have higher consciousness just like us).

     2nd Density of Consciousness governs a Being’s choices and actions by instinct or ‘drive’. On Earth it occurs in higher animals which have nervous systems. These allow animals (and Humans) to feel urges from various body systems to eat, procreate, sleep, and avoid or defend danger – all for survival. 2D Beings are not self-aware as are we Humans and simply respond to cues from the environment. There is decision-making ability, but not formation of complex ideas, beliefs or philosophies. 2nd Density consciousness is the foundation upon which more advanced life forms with higher Levels rest.

     3rd Density of Consciousness is characterized by true self-awareness, and the ability to make conscious choices and formulate complex ideological concepts, such as principles, philosophical frameworks and belief systems. It perceives ‘self vs others’ – ‘me and mine’ ‘us vs them and theirs’, and conceives ‘good vs bad’. It is the first of three Levels of Consciousness that has been called ‘Duality’ or ‘Separation’, as Beings are deeply in the illusion of separation. People also believe in scarcity and limitation, manifesting as greed, competition and conflict in the world. Feeling inner conflict on what to believe and desire reflects to the outer reality, so it’s personal and collective. No one knows they are the creator of their Reality, so are at the mercy of circumstances in a ‘victim’ mentality.

     3rd Density is the Level of Consciousness of most people alive on Earth now, although some are 4th and even 5th or 6th Density. The 3rd Density Consciousness world is complex, intricate and often confusing with plenty of drama. This is the Level where the phenomena within the psyche of the Ego emerges – where lives that powerful sense of ‘I’ – ‘Me’ and ‘Mine’. It manifests powerful resolve and willpower with strong individualism to ‘do it my way’. Empires are built with this Consciousness when fully unleashed. The planetary consciousness has greatly been shifting more into 4th Density, where in the past most have lived their entire lives in 3rd Density.

     In this world, 3rd Density Humans are constantly being asked to choose which direction to invest their energy – and what they will serve and what they will love. This is a choice between two diametrically opposed ideas – a life of orientation of Service to Self (STS) or Service to Others (STO). In the context of our belief, this Service to Self is a form of selfishness in caring for oneself first and then others as the natural order. Being self-reliant and authentic to help people is good, just not in an altruistic ‘giving yourself away’ doormat-mode, but in a Being-ness of unconditional love and self-actualization.

     Dr. Wallace and Mark teach about this, and it’s an important key about future morphing Unity Consciousness. Put your oxygen mask on first, then help your neighbor. Let’s take this in the context of the long cycle of our Human Consciousness evolving. The core message I’ve gotten from study of extensive sources and The Law of One Ra Material may appear contradictory to this idea, but it’s not. With pure love in your heart and total integrated honesty on your lips, as you rise in Consciousness sharing your core Essence with the world by doing what you love, in STS you are harmoniously living your joy!

     Both men personify these higher creative values in Neothink Society teachings; also our mentors in daily pushing us forward. But realize in today’s world there are radical levels of both these aspects playing out. These two polarities have gotten extreme in their manifestations such that we’re living through the severeness of this challenging paradigm coming more into play with our choices. Each Belief is pushing the other to the surface. I believe STO as altruism is the worst killer co-dependence one can ever manifest (other than an abusive relationship). It’s a life-destroyer. As well, in the extremes of 3D, we understand that STS run amok is the Consciousness of the bicameral ‘Humanoid’ heartless-mentality, devoid of caring for others and narcissistic as evil Neocheaters. They are psychopaths, degenerates, murderers and controllers of our Reality. They go to a Lower Level/State of 4th Density to continue their path of Service To Self. These petty tyrants make us confront obstacles, and stand up to them to grow. Those in STS in the conscious, healthy, self-empowering way we’ve learned about, and the STO’s, cross to a Higher Level/State of 4th Density.

     4th Density of Consciousness is where everything is Love and Light – Light and Love! Now the journey to become a truly individualized Sovereign Being manifests. This Density has most of the characteristics of 3rd Density, except that Beings have now polarized more into the STS or STO mode. People making the shift to 4th Density aren’t consciously aware they’ve done so – it’s usually an implicit choice rather than an explicit one. The polarization amplifies the contrasting dualities at this Level as, regardless of their polarity, each has a strong clarity of purpose, so BOTH are considered to be good.

     5th Density of Consciousness has been called the Density of “Balanced Polarity”. Buddha said “True love is born from understanding.” At this Level, the ascending Being will still have the STS or STO orientation, which now must be balanced. The 5D STO Beings must RECEIVE from all those willing to give to them, so their Reality can be sustained. They can become powerful change agents because, for the first time, they are channeling energies through themselves, rather than simply giving from their own small store of personal energy! They’re perceived as leaders who inspire followers and unite them with their vision. 5D STS Beings, by contrast, must be willing to GIVE to others, nurture and motivate them, so they’ll remain hardworking and loyal. Here they are much more benevolent, being admired, respected and even loved by their subjects.

     The strength of the polarity diminishes with every one drifting to a more balanced or neutral position on the scale. More cooperation and harmony prevail. In 5th Density, Beings grasp the Universal Law of Giving and Receiving, the understanding that energy (and abundance) flows in circles and that, for best results, you must give to receive – or receive to give. Aligning with this Law requires a high degree of wisdom in managing yourself and others, and hence it’s also dubbed the “Density of Wisdom”.

     After many incarnations where 5th Density Beings work SO hard to give to the world OR take from the world, to save the world OR rule the world, they finally begin to see the futility of both games and all their attendant dramas. They eventually notice that there is one simple rule that always seems true: “What you do to another you ultimately do to yourself.” The realization arises that the apparent separation between Self and Other is illusory, as in truth, All Is One. And with that one mental step they are in 6th Density!

     6th Density of Consciousness is where one’s STS/STO polarity completely disappears. Regardless of prior orientation, at this Level it now dissolves. This is the first Level in a genre of consciousness aptly called “Unity Consciousness”- a State of loving acceptance of ‘what is’ and surrender to the flow of life. It is the highest Level that can still experience Itself in a physical body. It’s a wonderful State of Consciousness as 6th Density Beings fully understand the nature of reality and meaning of life to maximize their enjoyment, without constantly sabotaging themselves. A rite of passage is embracing their Creator Nature so that what they put out they get back, thus they get what they desire. It’s like a state of grace where harmony, peace and abundance abide.

     6th Density Beings understand the rules of the illusory game of physical Reality they are within, so can take the game to a whole new level! They become Master Level players enjoying the fruits of the illusion to the fullest as they live, love, laugh and explore to their heart’s content! They know they create their Reality with experiences coming from their deepest beliefs. They make considerable effort to master thoughts and choices and to release any beliefs that are attracting undesirable results. This is known as Self-Mastery, which cannot totally occur until a Being attains 6th Density consciousness. Their focus is on how to avoid undesirable experiences. And since, as a Creator, what you focus on you attract and what you resist persists, they can’t escape their negative experiences. So, they focus only on attracting the positive as their new way and transcend this paradigm.

     Now 6th Density Beings focus on finding and expressing their genuine Self and pursuing their greatest passion in each and every moment. So, they are giving their greatest gift to the world. As they are in graceful alignment with their Highest Self, what they choose to pursue will most certainly be needed, desired and appreciated by the world. Then it may dawn on them THAT physical Reality they’ve been learning, growing and expanding in is illusory and there’s a greater Reality still. Hence, they are nudged into 7th Density!

     7th Density of Consciousness is transcendent as one becomes formless and beyond the illusion of physical Reality. 7th Density Beings are part of the Primal Energy Field from which all Realities are constructed. Beings at this Level are very close to becoming One with the Oneness. They participate in the creation of Realities by directly working with the energy and the consciousness templates from which they also are constructed. Some part of every 7th Density Beings’ mind is busy with tasks essential to the very existence of physical (lower Density) realities. They hold patterns to construct elements of Realities. Everything that exists is patterns of energy and consciousness controls the patterns.

     Others do different tasks, but all are involved with making Realities run smoothly. It’s not possible for them to incarnate and still remain 7th Density. In order to do what they do, by definition they must be everywhere. This is incompatible with imagining into existence and wearing a physical body. Also, the perceptual experience is very different as separate perceptual modalities, channels and processes are experienced as one unified experience – taste, smell, visual, tactile, emotional – are all simply extra hues added to one Universal perceptual Reality. As you sense a thing, creatively imagine it and it manifests.

     Beings at this Level don’t evolve or change. When they want to leave their system, they must lovingly release all their attachments to their creations and thereby attain perfect balance and true Oneness of spirit, enabling them to step up onto the last rung of the Ladder of Consciousness – the 8th Density!

     8th Density of Consciousness is the Level where you become One with the Oneness. “The Universe is connected and alive and we are a part of the metric of space!” Nassim Haramein, Ph.D. 8th Level is the ‘Ultimate’ and nearly impossible to describe with mere words – perfection, wholeness, belonging, absolute serenity, can’t touch it. It’s a State of Bliss beyond imagination, a State of Peace that transcends All where you’re totally appreciated for Who You Are and unconditionally loved As You Are. Nothing is beyond the scope of your mind as your mind IS now the Universal Mind. You fully know and understand everything that ever WAS, IS, or WILL BE! To inquire about anything is to gain the Whole of the understanding of it. With no negativity, everything is a work of art and you know all creations are Your creations – beautiful, loving and perfect!!

     At least they are right up to the moment you decide to create something New! 8th Density contains ALL realities and is therefore the gateway through which you leave one Reality and enter another. In the very moment a New Idea crystallizes in your mind – Poof! You find yourself in another Reality in a lower Density and ready to plunge ever deeper. And thus, the game of separation and climbing up the Consciousness Ladder begins over again! This is truly our Hero’s Journey …

     So, there you have it! A more complete puzzle picture of Universal Humanity Template. Visionary, truth-seeker, teacher, enlightened seer David Wilcock, in his first book ‘Source Field Investigations’ – gave the following Dedication: “This book is dedicated to the One Infinite Creator – the author of space, time, matter, energy, biology and consciousness – now READING these words in Your temporary Human form.”

     Allow me to dedicate this tonight to the same One Infinite Creator – the author of space, time, matter, energy, biology and consciousness – now HEARING these words in Your temporary Human form.” Thank you, my Zon Friends and goodnight all!

217. Part 2 : Heart stent alert; Q. Do stents carry any risks? Yes. Patients must take anti-clogging drugs for up to a year. (I am on Plavix) and the drugs can cause bleeding and serious hemorrhage. And the mere act of breaking up plaque during the insertion of stent can cause pieces of the clot to dislodge , blocking small downstream arteries and causing a heart attack. An estimated 1 in 500 patients with stable angina die during the procedure to implant stents. Brown says –another reason why the should only be used if the patient is in danger of a heart attack. Q. Are stents the right choice? If a patient of eminent danger of heart attack , a stent may help prevent it . And the new study, which looked at 200 patients with mild heart disease , was too small to be definitive, critics say , leaving open the possibility that sicker patients might benefit from stents, Vikas Saini, a cardiologist and president of the Lown Institute, say those are valid points that require further exploration, Q. If you have a stent, what should you do? Probably nothing . There is a wide spread agreement that once a stent is implanted, there is no need to undergo extensive testing, However , if your doing worse after a stent is implanted , your doctor can test to see if the stent or another vessel has become blocked, and whether medication adjustment or surgery is warranted. End of article.Hope you got some worthy information out of this article.

218. Hi Fellow Neo-Thinkers.. Today’s article comes from April edition , AARP Bulletin. You look for such publications to pass on encouraging news, however this article leaves me shaking my head in disbelief. Article as printed. “Fifteen years ago, the FDA approved the first drug-coated stent, which releases medication to help reduce the recurrence of a blocked artery , but recent studies have questioned the effectiveness of stents dealing only for chest pain. HEART STENT ALERT: New research reveals this common procedure on coronary arteries is often unnecessary. Some statistics : $5.6 Billion is the projected global market for stents in 2020. The # of patients who will receive stent implants is 850,000. The average cost is $30.000 for this procedure before insurance. The common stent is made of stainless steel or a cobalt – chromium alloy, and average length of a bare metal stent is 15.45 millimeters or 0.6 inches. The following info is from Jeanne Lenzer who is an investigative medical journalist and the author of “The Danger Within Us.” If you’re in imminent danger of a heart attack and you’re rushed to a hospital , chances are good tht doctors will implant a cardiac stent- a tiny wire mesh tube that props open a clogged artery. The stent might limit damage to your heart or even save your life But cardiologists also use stents to relieve chest pain that isn’t caused by a heart attack, a condition called stable angina. Until a few months ago , doctors believed that stents could relieve such pain faster and more effectively than drugs alone, but research published this year in the Lancet medical journal suggests that stents don’t do anything for these patients. Here are answers to questions you may have. Q. Do stents protect against heart attacks? Not for patients with stable angina. Stents came into use in thev1990s and at first their benefits seemed undeniable: X-rays o00f arteries held open by stents showed blood rushing through previously clogged vessels. Doctors assumed this would protect patients from future heart attacks. Many patients reported relief from chest pain, higher energy levels or improvement on their treadmill tests . However , not all patients with stents fared so well: some experienced more chest pain or had a heart attack and died. So researchers conducted a study of more 2000 patients who were assigned to receive either treatments with medicines alone or with medicines plus a stent implant. The results , published in 2007 in the New England Journal of Medicine, surprised many doctors. Patients with stents did no better than patients treated with medicine alone. Both were equally likely to have a heart attack and die. It was this study that led many doctors to criticize the decision to transplant a stent in former President George W.Bush in 2013. since he had no symptoms of coronary artery disease and stood to obtain no benefit according to David L Brown , a cardiologist and professor of medicine at Washington University in St. Louis . Brown says Bush became “the poster child for the inappropriate use of stenting.” Q. If they don’t work for some patients , why do doctors keep using them so often? Even after the 2007 study, many interventional cardiologists continued implanting stents in the belief that if stents couldn’t prevent heart attacks and death, they could at least reduce chest pain. And patients wanted them: Surveys have found that nearly 2/3 of cardiologists said the benefit of a stent is limited to reducing chest pain, yet 88 % percent of patients undergoing the procedure believed the stents would reduce their risk of having a heart attack or dying. Q, How do we know stents don’t reduce pain from stable angina? In a recent experiment , 200 patients received either treatment with a stent or a sham intervention in which the doctors followed the same procedure but did not implant the stent. The patients had no idea which treatment they received. The results published this year in the Lancet, found no difference in chest pain between the two groups . In other words , getting a sham procedure relieved pain to the same degree as getting an actual stent. For fear that I might “loose” this integration I am going to a part 2. thanks

219. Every week as long as this site is available, I want to leave you with what I found to be the most interesting article of the week. This was from Dr. Wayne Dyer (1940- 2015) Subject: How to use your mind power to achieve any goal in life. “Let’s imagine for a few moments what our life would be like if you could access say 20% of our brain capacity. If you want to have something in your life, the kind of person you want to become , manifest something new into your life ,like something powerful , what ever that might be, you must be able to imagine it. Your imagination is able to imagine it. Your imagination is able to do all that you ask, so what kind of attention do you place on your desires? Einstein’s most famous quote.one of his famous observations , he said. “Imagination is more important than knowledge , knowledge is limited , imagination encircles the world . Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you anywhere. ” Make your future dream a present fact by assuming the feeling the wish fulfilled , that you wish you feel yourself to be you are, and you are given that which you are to assume the feeling that would be yours were already in possession of your wish, and your wish must be realized , so live in the feeling of being the one you want to be and that you shall be if this assumption about what you would like to become is persisted in until it becomes your dominant feeling, the attainment of your ideal is absolutely inevitable. You must assume the feeling of a wish fulfilled in all aspects of your life. Don’t allow anybody else’s opinion. Don’t allow the research, don’t allow what anybody tell you it’s possible or not possible for you. If you advance confidently in the directions of your own dream, and endeavor to live the life which you have imagined, you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. It will chase after you, if you can place it into your imagination what it is that you would attract and begin to feel it. Start retraining you sub-conscious mind, and sub-conscious mind will respond to what you suggest to it. Your sub-conscious mind rules your life. 96-97% of everything that you do is done as a result of your sub-conscious mind , and when the sub-conscious mind gets programmed, it goes ahead and does what the sub-conscious mind has placed into it. YOU are the creator. This is the mystery . This is the great secret known by the seers and prophets and mystics through out the ages. This is the truth that you can never know intellectually. You will never regret what you do in life, you will only regret what you don’t do.” If we as individuals wish to move from that 3rd dimension, and on the 4th and 5th, these words ring true. Hope you enjoyed and thanks Mark for the space to print it in.. Meanwhile LOVE just a little bit, and it will change your whole day!!!!

220. Scientific Proof that we are all connected.
     From Missing Link by Gregg Braden.
     In 1997, an experiment @ the U. of Geneva proved matter can have non-physical connections. A single photon — split in two, was separated and the particles were placed 14 miles apart.
     despite the distance , the particles reacted exactly the same way to external stimuli. If one particle was spun by a magnetic force, the other would spin at exactly the time. This is known as” quantum entanglement” and is disturbing to physicists. Einstein referred to the effect as “spooky action at a distance” . If the particles are communicating this message would have to travel FASTER than the speed of light. The most logical conclusion is that they are connected as part of the same energetic field. This field contradicts many of our current beliefs about time and space. During the big bang, all matter in the universe originated from a single source .. Although the matter in the universe is spread out over huge distances, all physical things are entangled at a quantum level, and we are each somehow connected to each other , and to the entire universe. Fascinating stuff! Not sure I understand it all that well but I like it. Remember, Just a little love can go along ways.

221. It’s Tuesday – 4/3/18.

     The Masters Golf Tournament starts on Thursday in Augusta, GA . pez

222. In order to keep myself in the game, I spend some time each day looking (Seeking) for some inspiration any where I can find it. Today’s thought for the day was found on FB, and written by Charity M. Ritchey Bently. and is titled “Choose to live in Joy.”
     ” Life goes by in the blink of an eye. It’s too short to live upset, angry, resentful or ungrateful. Choose to be happy. If you look for the good, you will find it. Be at peace. Decide that each day is going to be a great day and grab each moment and make the best of it. Refuse to let negative thoughts take root in your mind and refuse to let negative people and situations drag you down. Trust your journey and know if you make a mistake , It’s OK. See it as a lesson learned and keep moving forward. Spend less time worrying and more time being grateful for those who love you and all of life’s goodness. Choose to live in joy.”

223. Health does not always come from medicine, Most of the time it comes from peace of mind, peace in the heart, peace of the soul. It comes from laughter and LOVE.

224. Hi fellow Neo-Thinkers . Since no one seems to use this free space anymore ,I guess I will write a story , mostly all fact, while the rest of the world is celebrating Easter, and I am hiding out in the sanctuary of the room I call my C of U. So what is about to be spewed from my mind to the keyboard of this computer will be some of my deepest thoughts and secrets. (see how lucky you are!) Story. As Easter Sunday approaches , many of those good Christian families who have not attended that church of their choice since last Easter, Whoops, almost forgot , they did take time to attend a service for dear old Maude as they laid her to rest. Some were pondering just how much she may have left her favorite niece or nephew, or whether she willed all money and property to that no good son John, who skipped town years ago, vowing never to return back to that hick town again. My friend Digger, boy he could spend days picking all of the mysticisms of that group! Oh well, all the priests, ministers and rabbis are smiling secretly as there slightly guilt ridden members write some hefty checks , along with pretty good sized bills and currency into the coffers as good will gesture. As for those sunrise services, chances are I can see that rising Sun though my big bedroom window but the Easter Bunny is predicting snow and cloudy and gusts up to 35 MPH. Either way, I will take some time to meditate on has changed my life . I am stepping over the line here, but have decided to do this any way.
     Chapter 2:
     All the way through 6 years of Neo-Tech-Neo Think, we have encouraged to be honest. Honesty has been a must. Well I am going to be perfectly honest in this blog, so you either approve or disapprove, it’s your choice.
     Something that has recently bothered me. When a obituary announces that “John Doe or Jane Doe passed away peacefully in their sleep, who made that determination? Why that thought? At least twice in the past year, I felt death come knocking at my door and I refused to let him in, All we have to go on is that some human beings insist they returned from “heaven” and seen a beautiful place, I never experienced any of that, however the first time last June I confess to seeing sketchy faces flying by and seen them on a black TV screen. and as time has progressed I have often wondered if they were the images of passing souls standing by to take me with them. The second time in January , I was in a coma or semi-coma for 2 weeks and I remember anything but recall me screaming but no body could hear me. Since then, I have had several situations I find unusual. One being when I sit an a recliner that is not moving . I get this sensation that the chair itself is rocking almost to the point of tipping over. Continuous dreams that are strong in clarity, and sometimes they are about places and people I faintly remember in my my past life, and finally In my dreams I am reaching for something right there in front of me and it vivid, but wake and find my hand extended in thin air. Well enough of this. Any one is invited to explain what is going on. Thank You for the space. I will close with this. Don’t take anything or ANYONE for granted and think more about the ones you love the most Life is not a given,

225. Just a few odds and ends that I found interesting.
     Science says: Space has a distinct smell of a bouquet of diesel fumes, gun powder, and BBQ. The aroma is said to be mostly produced by dying stars.
     Sleep literally cleans the brain. During slumber more Cerebruspiral fluid flushes through the brain to wash away harmful proteins and toxins that build up during the day.
     Genius can be described in many ways, For instance take Brian Wilson of Beach Boy fame. While he was in his 40’s, he built a giant sand box in his living room and considered completely out of touch with reality and totally oblivious of anything around him. As a musician who was self taught , deaf in one ear, and plagued by voices that told him he was about to die, he produced one stunning hit after another and is considered in the music field as being the most important composer in American pop music.

226. SOMETHING GOOD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN !!!!!!!!!! Below are some quotes that can bring peace when dealing with people, especially difficult people.
     The greatest stress you go through when dealing with a difficult person is not fueled by the words or actions of this person—It is fueled by your mind that gives their words and actions importance.
     Its OK to be upset. It’s never OK to be cruel. Rage, resentment and jealousy do not change the hearts of others—they only change yours.
     Forgive others , not because they deserve forgiveness, but because YOU deserve peace.. Free yourself of the burden of being the eternal victim.
     Stay positive when negativity surrounds you. Smile when others refuse to—- It’s an easy way to make a difference in the world around you.
     A wise person’s ears, Be wise . Seek to understand before you attempt to judge. Use your judgement not as a weapon for putting others down. but as a tool for making positive choices that help your own character.
     TREAT EVERYONE WITH KINDNESS AND RESPECT, even those who are rude to you. Not because they are nice—but because YOU are, and do your best to be thankful for rude people and difficult people too. They serve as great reminders of how not to be.
     Strongly disagree with is a report card on what we’ve learned about love, compassion and kindness. Life is too short to argue and fight. Count your blessings , value the people who matter, and move on from the drama with your head held high.
     In your life , if your constantly surround your self with difficult people too often is that you start to become like them without even knowing it. Just because you are kind to someone ,m does NOT mean you have to spend extra time with them.
     If you really want to be happy and peaceful, then stop being afraid of yourself, then stop being afraid of yourself, and stop thinking what others think of every second. .
     there’s nothing selfish about giving yourself enough space for self care.
     Experience life on your terms and you will be life giving to others.

     EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
     (Pt 2 – Ascension Energies Experience)

     Hello everyone! Thanks Digger and Charlie. Welcome back to our awesome Aladdin’s Cave complex … hidden safely away from the world high above the fray in such a beautiful setting. It seems we’ve only just left but it’s been 30 days! Just look at all the smiling faces and feel the energy of our unity in this relaxed setting. Now let’s continue on Part 2 of the message titled Evolution of Consciousness (Ascension Energies Experience). Part 1 on February 20th is #75 in the archives and it is printable at Wikipediavsneo-tech. After hearing all those astounding predictions for 2018 last time, we come back from the future to what’s going on with us at present on Humanity’s amazing journey of ongoing enlightenment to the Great Awakening moment.

     By now it should be headline news that Humanity is witnessing the union of science and spirituality! We’re living in a remarkable time on planet Earth where the two are morphing into a cohesive world view! Increasingly, cutting edge science discoveries now corroborate long-held beliefs of spirituality, many which originated thousands of years ago in China and India. I believe WE are the Awakened Creators of the Fifth Dimension! The creative abilities of Humans is quite masterful. We’re magnificent Creator Beings and problem-solvers, and this is why we’ve endured hardship and thrown challenges at ourselves for eons on Earth in order to create a better world.

     But 5D is not a place – it’s a frequency state. And now Humans are creating our reality experience AS 5D Beings, thus, creating the Fifth Dimension – its structure, design, the qualities and the potential for growth within it! We’re doing this by taking the inspiration, energy, codes and information sent to awaken us and using all of it to create something brand new and never before experienced! Last time I spoke about us being in a phase of integrating great change over habit. The secret to change is to focus all of one’s energy not on fighting the old but building the new. Resistance sustains problems and takes our powers away to create this new world. “To exist is to change; to change is to mature; to mature is to go on creating ourselves endlessly” (Henri Bergson).

     Have we learned enough 3D lessons to graduate to the Earth School Ascension level of our next evolution? Pema Chodron said, “Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.” The prophecy of a Solar flash is not a moment to wait for, the precursor events are already well in progress. Global consciousness-shifting Ascension events are a multi-dimensional co-creation! Ascension is a core dynamic of the Universe. And the Universe IS consciousness. The new energetic template is now established and we’re moving into a new era of embodiment and co-creation. Although chaos and polarity is still experienced, the process is pure perfection from an energetic perspective.

     WHAT IS THE FIFTH DIMENSION?

     Much has been written and spoken about the Fifth Dimension and Humanity’s Ascension into this new realm of existence. Many people are having their own experiences, visions and inner realizations about it. According to Ascension teachings, the Earth and all sentient Beings living here are in the process of shifting into a whole new level of reality in which a consciousness of love, compassion, peace and spiritual wisdom prevails – the Fifth Dimension. Some say this shift will be complete within the next couple of decades. Others give no date, but all seem to agree it will be sometime in the near future, although each person is moving into the Fifth Dimension at their own rate when their frequency is high enough to match the higher vibration. There is only ONE consciousness in all of existence. The consciousness that I know myself as is the same consciousness that you know yourself as.

     This is Human Evolution while being alive as our complete body is being rewired and restructured. The current huge physical upgrades are mainly related to the brain as old structures are dissolved and new ones established. New synapses are built, and the amygdala (fear center) is reprogrammed and upgraded to become a processor for unconditional love and light – higher dimensional energies. The amygdala could be seen as the center of motivation and now we are switching completely to motivation coming purely from our Essence.

     Most teachings state that the shift Earth and Humanity are taking together into 5D has been scheduled for eons and the process has already been happening in the past few decades. December 21, 2012 was a critical watershed date in the timeline of the shift taking place, which has since continued unfolding in more obvious ways and picking up speed as time goes on. 2017 was also critical and the next landmark year is said to be 2023. So, is this just a fairy tale? Descriptions sure do make it sound like one!

     All people living in peace and harmony, experiencing oneness with all of life, fully respecting all people and the Earth itself –– love and compassion flowing through all communications. Equality, justice and respect for all Human beings reigning on Earth – no more hunger, poverty or crime and abundance available to all. Everyone living without fear and with complete trust in the Divine. Everyone awake to the majestic, spiritual inter-dimensional beings they truly are!

     Haven’t we all had dreams of living in a world like this? Are these dreams just figments of our imagination? Or are they memories of what we, thousands and thousands of years ago, once experienced – and at some point lost – as we descended into the kind of world we know now, filled with struggle, suffering and lack of direct connection with the Divine? Or do these dreams perhaps come from intuitions about the future that is in store for us? Many of us are having these intuitive feelings; some are having clear visions; others are inwardly hearing about Humanity’s future. Some may feel you’ve been waiting thousands of years for these times that have finally arrived.

     If we seek deeply within ourselves, we may find that these dreams of an ideal and peaceful world are actually both a distant memory of what we once experienced eons ago and an intuitive glimpse into what is now beginning to happen on Earth. And our longing to return to this ideal world is simply a yearning to finally return Home to this beautiful world that’s just ahead of us on the horizon. But one may ask how can this possibly happen so quickly? How could this world ever turn around from where it is today and become a utopian world with so much darkness of wars, hatred, prejudice and injustice still rampant?

     The answer’s two-fold: First, thousands of people worldwide are now experiencing an Awakening of the heart at an unprecedented rate that’s speeding up with time. And a Mass Awakening wave is soon to arrive. Thus, the hundredth monkey phenomenon will inevitably take hold as a tipping point of realization. And secondly, not everyone on the planet at present is deciding to choose (consciously or unconsciously) to make the shift into the Fifth Dimension.

     All souls have the choice to enter 5D, given they have assimilated sufficient light to hold the energy levels that exist in that higher vibration. But many will choose to leave Earth within the next couple decades to move on to other 3D experiences in other parts of the Universe. They will not be finished with what 3D reality still has to teach them. Those who are choosing to stay and make the shift with the Earth will be going through some intense, rapid and radical changes in their bodies and minds needed to shift into the higher consciousness requisite for moving into the Fifth Dimension.

     Exactly what are dimensions? Primarily, dimensions are not places or locations; they’re energetic levels of consciousness that vibrate at a certain rate. There exist numerous dimensions; Fourth and Fifth are simply higher than the one we’ve been living in. Ascension into even higher dimensions will continue even after we’ve reached the Fifth. Each dimension vibrates at a higher rate than the one below. In each higher dimension, there exists a clearer, wider perspective of reality, a greater level of knowing. We experience more freedom, greater power, and more opportunity to create reality. In order for a higher dimension to be available to us, we need to vibrate in resonance with it. Shifting from one level of consciousness to the next higher one means becoming established on it, so we don’t get pulled back.

     The Third Dimension: It’s important to note that 3D is not the physical things you see. These are form and all things in form are still present in the Fourth Dimension (and to some degree in the Fifth); they’re simply more light-filled, not as dense. The Third Dimension is a state of consciousness that is very limited and restricted. Because we’ve been living in this 3D reality for so many lifetimes, we tend to assume that this is the only reality available to live in and is simply how it is.
     The Third Dimensional matrix “operating system” runs on rigid beliefs and a fairly inflexible set of rules and limitations. For example, we learn to believe that bodies are solid; they can’t merge with each other or walk through walls. Everything is subject to gravity, physical objects cannot disappear, and we cannot read another person’s mind. There’s a solid belief in duality with judgment and fear pervasive.

     The Fourth Dimension: 4D is the ‘bridge’ we’re all pretty much on now for a relatively short period of time to prepare ourselves for the Fifth. I’ll repeat that many of us have likely had experiences of 4D-5D for some years unknowingly. We can feel we’re experiencing the Fourth Dimension in moments of spiritual awakening or experiences of heart opening. It can happen when we’re simply feeling clear and quiet inside. Everything within and around us feels lighter, less rigid with a sense of spaciousness and upliftment.

     Time is no longer linear in the Fourth Dimension – there’s an ongoing sense of being in present time, with no interest or even awareness of past and future. And we can discover that time is malleable – it can actually stretch and condense, much to our surprise! We have more and more daily synchronicities – big and little ones – until you recognize that we’re creating all of it! When we’re feeling joy, love and gratitude, or working in our FNE losing track of time, we’re experiencing 4-5D consciousness, which is pure bliss.

     The Fifth Dimension: The Dimension of Love, of living totally from the Heart. In order to enter into the Fifth Dimension and stay there, all mental and emotional baggage must be left at the door. No fear, anger, hostility, guilt exists there – no suffering or sense of separation. Mastery over thought is a prerequisite – discipline, focus in thought and control (DTC) – now that sounds right.

     Manifestation in the Fifth Dimension is instantaneous, so as you think about something – it comes present. People generally communicate through telepathy and have the ability to read each other’s thoughts and feelings with ease. The experience of time is radically different that many describe as “everything happening at once.” There is no distinction between past, present or future as all is only in the ‘Now’. Many are having experiences or dreams that feel like visits to 5D. These are highly exhilarating, tremendously exciting and hopeful. They keep us moving on through the challenges we face.

     We’re in the midst of what’s termed ‘transitional’ or ‘end times’. These are the times of experiencing the death of Third-Dimensional reality, while at the same time beginning to travel through new and unknown landscapes of the Fourth Dimension. In essence, one whole structure of reality is collapsing, while a new one is emerging. It’s to be expected that some chaos, confusion and disorientation will reign both within and around us, as we attempt to adapt to a whole new way of experiencing reality.

     Many of us are beginning to experience radical changes in our lives, as we enter into these times. Whatever does not serve us in shifting into a higher dimension has to fall away. This can include old relationships, lifetime careers, approaches to life we’ve traditionally taken, an out-dated sense of identity, or any limited or negative thoughts and emotions that hold us in a lower vibration.

     Numerous sources agree if we choose we can take our physical bodies with us into the Fifth Dimension. This is the first time that souls in incarnation on a planet are going to be taking their physical vehicles with them into the higher dimension. Doing this is seen as the next step in Humanity’s evolution. Given this, it seems important for us to really take care of our bodies at this time. Radical transformation can be hard on the body, causing pain, aches, exhaustion and flu-like symptoms (the ‘flu epidemic’ of this year). If you are here listening or reading these words, it’s likely you’ve decided (whether consciously or subconsciously) to shift with Earth into the Fifth Dimension in this lifetime. If so, you have the choice to simply allow life to transform you, just sometimes in uncomfortable ways. If you have any resistance to change, life will certainly do the job for you!
     Or you can choose to actively cooperate with shifts taking place inside you. Consciously let go of old patterns, release negative emotions, judgments and thoughts, unforgiveness, and work on keeping your vibration high at all times. This effort will likely ensure that your integration will be a lot smoother and perhaps more rapid. But there’s no right or wrong way to make this journey, as each will do it the way best for themselves, to make it into the new reality paradigm of a 5D Civilization of the Universe!

     The prophecy of a Solar flash is not a moment to wait for, the precursor events are already well in progress. Global consciousness-shifting Ascension events are a multi-dimensional co-creation! We entered the Sacred geometry which holds pure photonic resonance, the consciousness shifting frequencies, during the August eclipse last year. Now we see the sun flashing and flickering in a new way. We are in the Galactic Hot Zone, the geometric container for consciousness and dimensional-shifting light. As we operate from higher choices, Primary Christed timelines provide the bridge for planetary-wide energetic and dimensional shifts.

     The sun is changing how it interprets information; visibly seen in the physical as the radically surreal dimmer-yet-more intense look that sunlight has right now. Our Lightbodies are reflecting these changes. As above, so below. Our inner light feels more intense, our heart centers flutter, and eyes see flashes as the body now goes through deep transformation – shifting to prepare us for this next level of embodiment.

     The purer frequencies equal purification. Higher light brings clearing, releasing and the revelation of distortion. The consistent request of Humanity to reveal the truth, disclosure and distortions is answered by these frequencies. It is a symbiotic relationship as the frequencies are also creating the desire for revelation. Deep secrecy revealing itself requires intense light. This is a global event reflected in personal journeys of purification and is an evolutionary step intensifying to purge the co-created veils – as we stand safe and secure amidst the collapsing 3D holographic illusionary matrix of our world.

     As the Hot Zone changes the Solar projection, the sun crackles and flashes the very same expansion activity within our heart centers. This has been increasingly palpable. Our heart is strongly connected to the sun. Solar activity has long been associated with cardiovascular risks, as we increasingly see the near-heart-attacks, palpitations and escalating stress levels people are experiencing.

     AN ASCENDED LIGHTBODY

     Descriptions all fall short for these new very intense rounds of activations. And what are they triggering in us? Seemingly endless thought spirals that appear random and disconnected; anxiety attacks, big old ego programs related to aggression, control, manipulation, frustration, disappointments, etc. We have a hard time focusing, often feel totally disconnected! We have the weirdest food cravings, extreme fatigue, a lot of need to rest, not knowing what to do with ourselves at times, lucid dreaming, super intense headaches, and the eyes blurry as never before! Plus, the whole body is going nuts with the wildest symptoms of our lives – skin break-outs, infections, serious ascension flu, hot and cold flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and the list goes on. At times our mind is feeling hopelessly lost as we look around for the emergency exit!

     Anyway, just how can a multi-dimensional shift in Beingness be described? This effervescent, expansive state of consciousness is over-riding and over-writing lower expressions. The merge sequences of embodiment, when the Higher Self takes over the awareness, are changing the Lightbody. We’re being pushed beyond the limits of previous possibilities into new trajectories and direction. In our Spiritual Maturity, we become comfortable with the unknown; the bizarre; such boundary-dissolving experiences.

     The photonic light registers on the Lightbody at the etheric level, and with one’s conscious direction, the form changes to reflect that light. Much of the recent rounds of illness, change of trajectory, relocation and exhaustion are reflections of the intensity of these cellular adjustments. Our Lightbodies are about to change in a dramatic way to an Ascended Lightbody Template. Wow!

     The bifurcation of experiences, which has been in progress since 2011, also penetrates the physical realities this year. (Bifurcation means the dividing into two). This honoring of choices is nothing to concern yourself about as you are infinite! Receive the gift of personal revelation and let go of any biblical or old paradigm belief systems about physical versus nonphysical, making it or not. This is not one big judgmental division – it’s an ongoing choice of experience for each individual. And as it affects our physical realities, much is revealed about the nature of reality itself.

     Make room for something new! We’re collectively utilizing the amplification in the Now as a way to open the floodgates of positive Solar heart-shifting energies. In preparation, our Lightbodies are shifting to a more refined level. Our torus fields begin to spin at an increased rate with the plasma pulses. Sometimes our fields may jump to a much faster rate for a moment, expanding the fields without warning, causing a phasing-out dizzy sensation as the mental, emotional and physical adjustments demand self-care.

     This vibratory stimulation awakens crystalline DNA, the KEY to shifting dimensional expressions. We become beacons as actual conduits of these pure pulses of light and gamma waves. Not just on behalf OF the whole Collective, but because we ARE the whole Collective. The goal is to begin a domino effect of global activations that will depend on how the Collective chooses to handle these frequencies. Humanity decides just how these realities unfold. As many awaken they don’t have the skill of mastering the new realities in this moment. As Neothinkers and being Wayshowers bringing enlightenment, we must put all our focus on co-creating positive, brilliant, beautiful realities for Humanity!

     WITNESS & EXPERIENCE YOUR EVOLUTION!

     The ancient codes and templates stored within Gaia will be open and available to us this year. That in itself is revelation and empowerment! This attunes our consciousness to access not what we were, but what our future selves planted here for our Ascension in the Now-Present! Make a point not to get so caught up in what you are supposed to do when the main attraction is the witnessing and experiencing of this Great Awakening. For this needs to be an inward journey. You cannot witness and experience your Consciousness Evolution if you’re constantly focused on your daily busy-ness or out chasing mysticisms and social interactions to support your holographic illusions reality of life.

     Remember our mantra about this experience from my very first message – Heal, Release and Shift! You’re witnessing your own Evolution of Consciousness and in the front-row seats you’ve been granted, you can even see for yourselves the actual effects of that evolution! It’s never just been about getting there because that is assured, but this can be the best part of the process, as this event is truly something to behold. And yes, I know from my own experience, it can feel and be extremely awkward and lonely on this journey for many of us. Our reward? WE will be the Visionaries who help manifest the Civilization of the Universe as Creators of the Fifth Dimension new reality on Earth!

     THE ART OF SURRENDERING

     Surrendering means not giving a crap about the outcome, about the change or uncertain parts of tomorrow. It is the bold release of control and brave release of the comfort zone. Comfort is highly overrated and will trap us in mediocracy. To a control freak, a pleaser, or an achiever that seeks acknowledgment or validation from an outside source, giving up or surrendering is a dirty word. They will fight until forever first.

     But just what does it mean to surrender? It’s defined “To give oneself up, as into the power of another; submit or yield” or “To give oneself up to some influence, course, emotion, etc.” What it really is – The profound energy of going with the divine flow, trusting the grand empowered Being that you, me, we ALL are! Surrendering means to stop fighting and resisting life and its natural rhythm. It’s a conscious choice, a strength.

     Paddling upstream is so hard, exhausting and draining. It kills our creativity and enthusiasm, passion and purpose. Life becomes a struggle, a chore or something to be overcome; and a journey of fear and resistance is a tough one. Being overcome by the Burden of Life. Until you just stop. Not give up – just stop! You let go of the paddling, letting yourself be carried downstream. Not in weakness or disempowerment, but in trust and confidence. The moment you let those oars go, your life automatically shifts. You still have to steer but you can now enjoy the scenery. You’re able to look ahead and rest if you need to, even though you have extra energy and life looks brighter!

     Downstream Focus means right path and trusting life. We’ve been conditioned to be restless seekers of happiness and the good life. Like it’s a destination with a pot of gold. But we lack nothing. We’re not missing a link nor a single cell. We are whole, as Humans, here to explore and enjoy the ride. Nothing messes up a fun and educational ride like trying to hang onto the past or present situation. When we spend our time clinging to an outcome, trying to control it, we miss the ride itself. Nothing stays the same. Change is our only constant. And when doing our best it has to be enough, so that what is left is pure acceptance of all that is and a deep knowing that everything has its purpose.

     There’s no one right way to experience this Awakening. We weren’t given a roadmap in Life School on this topic, so it’s all new territory! Whatever is in front of you in your life is there because it’s a necessary component for you to make this shift in consciousness. You’re not only equipped with the tools necessary, but you are always being given scenarios, people, relationships, and so on in your lives to help you. There is something about those people and circumstances that are triggering you in all the right ways to move you in the right direction. And if you feel at times you’re taking steps backward that’s only because you have something left to do, so look within for answers. Speak to your Higher Self and get better acquainted … then trust, trust, trust your-Self!

     Neo-Tech and Neothink teach us to know reality and accept what is. Accept the fact that your life is a part of everybody else’s in rising Unity Consciousness. Your current situation might not be ideal, but it’s yours, and it’s where your Essence and potentials lie – so love everything about it. Explore and know it’s changing from moment to moment not through force, but through growth and awareness. Be at peace with what is, yourself and your life. There’s no secret formula for you to find. Happiness isn’t found at the destination, but rather on the journey itself. There is only the living of your life and the choice to do so, consciously! An ancient proverb, “If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.”

     I’m so grateful to Mark, Digger and Charlie for inviting me to share this time with you tonight and I hope you have benefited in some way. I end with the words of a visionary genius and artist I admire so much, who gave us a quick glimpse of a possible future world in song. This comes from 1971 at the height of the Viet-Nam War. It still makes my heart beat faster with hope and pure love, just as it always did back in that youthful time. Only now I believe it’s a real possibility!

     IMAGINE
     Imagine there’s no heaven
     It’s easy if you try
     No hell below us
     Above us only sky
     Imagine all the people living for today
     Imagine there’s no countries
     It isn’t hard to do
     Nothing to kill or die for
     And no religion too
     Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
     You may say I’m a dreamer
     But I’m not the only one
     I hope some day you’ll join us
     And the world will be as one!
     Imagine no possessions
     I wonder if you can
     No need for greed or hunger
     A brotherhood of man
     Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
     You may say I’m a dreamer
     But I’m not the only one
     I hope some day you’ll join us
     And the world will be as one!

229. It’s

     It’s only fitting that we pay our respects to the loss of one of the worlds greatest scientists and one of the most intelligent people of our generation , Mr. Stephen Hawking who left us at the age of 76 was a theoretical scientist gave us some of the most important scientific contributions. He had suffered from a severe degenerative disease since his 20’s but went on to become one of the world’s greatest scientists . Here are a few of his most important contributions. Throughout his career , Hawking combined several fields of science to eventually discover the origin of the universe. In 1970 he showed that the big bang would have started from an infinitely small point, In other words , today’s widely accepted theory that the Universe began as a tiny speck was originally proven by Hawking. In the 70’s , Hawking’s work led to important discoveries about black holes. He demonstrated that they could radiate heat and evaporate and eventually vanish. In 1971 he developed the 2nd law of dynamics which states the surface area of a black hole can only increase. He was one of the first to show how the properties of the Universe could be calculated with a mathematical expression he dubbed the “Wave function of the Universe”. In 1982 he proved that variations in the distribution of matter led to the spread of the galaxies . Not only was he super intelligent he was not afraid to express his humor and wit. If you have not heard it, he recorded the lines from Monty Python, and was a guest on the series “The Bang Theory” with was hilarious. Let’s close this with a final quote “Look up at the stars
     and not down at you feet.
     Try to make sense of what you see,
     and wonder what makes
     the Universe exist: BE CURIOUS.”

     RIP Our friend.

     WHEN: Tuesday night, March 20th, at 6:00 p.m. Central Time – next week …

     WHERE: Gathering at the Aladdin’s Cave Complex secret location high in the mountains! Your merkaba light body knows exactly where with a guidance system that will take you there pretty rapidly. Enjoy the views …

     WHO: All Neothinkers and non-Neothinkers are invited to dial in and attend … bring your friends …

     TOPIC: EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS (Ascension Energies Experience) – PART 2. Come explore the aspects of the Great Awakening process and exciting prospects for our future!! Learn about the Fifth Dimension and the Civilization of the Universe arriving on the planet … so you can participate for yourself and be an integral part of the greatest event in human history!

     NOTE: Part 1 was presented on the February 20th call. It included Predictions for 2018 astonishing changes! It would be good to go listen to it or print it out from this site. The information excites the imagination and will help to envision the new world.

     COME ONE AND ALL! See you then I hope!

     Judith

233. HEY PETE! Thanks for the comment on the last message I gave on the Ascension and Awakening process we’re going through now! Taken as a whole, those predictions would certainly help bring the C of U (in my opinion). When one takes each individual ‘item’ and contemplates it, each separate possibility would have so many second, third, fourth-order effects – to infinity! So many mysticisms being removed all at once would definitely spur a consciousness shift, don’t you think? I appreciate your support and energy a lot! You are like the ever-ready battery – you just keep on going and going, participating and leading the charge in the Neo-Tech and Neothink Society Movement. You are a great example for all of us, my friend! Just wanted to let you know.

     Next week, Part 2 – I hope I can do it justice! Love and later,

     Judith

234. March 12, 2018. Today is the date of both of my parents’ birthdays – they’ve both been on my mind so much lately and I send them love over in the dimension they are in now and wonder what they’re up to today.

     GRATITUDE AND BLESSINGS TO ALL OF YOU HERE, MY NEO-FRIENDS!! I just re-read the posts since the beginning of 2018 … and I wanted to express my feelings they brought out. At this time, because of some (fairly) serious recent challenges from last Fall until about February 1st, it was a tough period to say the least. So, reading this again made me emotional about my friendships made from off this site and the people I got to meet at the Summit and who have attended my School of Genius presentations. I received great support during this time from you few (energetically and ‘in reality’). So, this is my thanks for being a part of this ‘Movement’ of Neo-Tech/Neothink. I sincerely express my gratitude to Mark Hamilton and Dr. Frank Wallace for it.

     It’s been quite a journey of upward and forward movement for me, but hasn’t always been an easy run. The easier timeline life I was meant to have simply didn’t manifest. Due to some ongoing personal circumstances involving finance and then healing from the fall I took out in the creek bottom on October 3rd – plus a long bout of the ‘Ascension Flu’ for six weeks (which was awful and intense in itself as a cleansing and detox) beginning at Christmas time, I must admit I’ve been a real mess. I went through kind of a serious life review, a ‘surrendering’ of the old me and again cutting karmic chords and pain connections to those long gone out of my life. October 3rd was a watershed date also when I ‘outed’ my negative interactions and situation with a ranking leader in the Society on the School of Genius that night. Due to the fall and being in so much pain, that came through pretty dramatically and intensely – and was embarrassing to me as I am very private to the point of paranoia. I guess I should go back and listen just to complete my mental-emotional healing from all that unnecessary drama that had transpired. But I still stand proud that I faced a psychopath head-on as I knew I must to complete that challenge or test that had manifested in my life in order to move to a higher level in my own consciousness. Everything happens for a reason and my goal is always to get to the bottom of the lesson coming my way from the Universe in order to grow. Also, during that time my dear friend, Wayne, was struck with serious life-threatening ailments that nearly took him out, so I was pretty upset over his ongoing life test situation, as well. Thank goodness from above that he is doing better and now we are programming and visualizing for his total and complete healing, including walking again! (Cowboy, I have ‘seen’ it and I ‘believe’ the vision with all my heart).

     Then that week after the October 3rd events, a lifelong friend, business partner (and my son’s Godfather) in Houston disappeared into the bowels of the V.A. medical complex and his sister wouldn’t let me contact him. So, that was a second psychopath I had attracted – I’m like – “what the hell?!” The stress of that separation was just about too much for me. On Saturday, Dec 23rd in Houston for a big benefit concert my son was performing in – Clay, Michael and I left gifts and cards at his doorstep. Of course, I had seriously warned this woman to ‘get out of the way’ as nothing was going to keep me from finding him – and not to keep interfering or there would be serious negative consequences for her. On the morning of the 26th she dropped dead of a massive heart attack! Of course, we didn’t learn that until nearly three weeks later when he finally got his cellphone back and all his contacts had been deleted. He called my son’s old cellphone from a remnant left in the log and left a message. We had been out of touch for over three months! I had been ‘ill’ for over three weeks by then.

     Of course these type scenarios can be a part of life in this Anti-Civilization world for all of us, but it seems sometimes that my very ‘Beingness’ attracts some very powerful dark entities and forces at times. It’s been that way since I was a child and I should be used to it by now, but I had thought maybe that type of negative greeting would be over. This because I had been facing down my demons, working hard to raise my consciousness, spiritual knowledge and powers – plus over the past 11 years have grown so much emotionally and mentally with Neo-Tech/Neothink teachings. I have always been a Neothinker visionary-type automatically in this world, and the focus and energy these studies have given me I believe is putting me over the top to step into a new life I’ve been creating for myself and my family for some time. I feel that time approaching, so putting this in writing is possibly just my way of seriously filing the old life of ‘Judy’ away and doing what my last message spoke of in turning my back on it all, getting over the old reels playing of past experiences and relationships (negative and positive).

     The life of astronomical financial success in business (including a humanitarian mission to give away product) which has been ‘in my hands’ more than once but was then taken away by neocheaters, con-artists and government restricting authorities greatly affected my life and those around me. The mission to bring forward a life-saving project for Humanity I thought was IT and over for me and it was difficult to pick up the pieces and go on working day-to-day with the people I could help in our company estate planning and insurance business (which I did faithfully). Also taking care of my ex for several years during his final illness, dismantling and selling out our business and then bringing up twin grandsons from age 5 to now age 20 have made me who I am now – much wiser and stronger!! The help and support that came to me from the Universe sending the right people (one of them Michael I met at the Convention in Chicago in 2009) is really unbelievable when I look back – the Law of Attraction in action! As I say, this personal stuff is hard for me. So, now moving on, folks …

     All of it has led me to this moment. I can declare for the record that I haven’t run away (after considering doing just that) and the projects and plans I have now will be just as beneficial for the world, myself and family (possibly) as those I worked on before. And any new business relationships I take on will most likely be with Neothink people. So, hope springs eternal! I don’t know why this is popping out right now, but in my flow I trust it will be taken by the (very few) people still coming on this site who are my Neo-Friends! Thanks for reading this and for your understanding. Today my main mini-day is to work on completion of my message for the 20th – next week – the second part of last month’s presentation. So, I better get to it and my daily nature walk.

     I will be back! Love you all.

238. We humans are considered to have the biggest brain, yet we find it to be difficult to shed our selves of mysticisms, and so with that in mind, I read or seen an article that puzzles me. The story entailed the sheep herders who had completely removed the fence around a compound leaving the gate posts, but also removing the gate itself. Then they went about the task of driving the sheep out . The entire herd circled up and not one went over where the original fence had been, but hurried to scamper through the open gate, Just an interesting thought.

239. I sincerely wish to keep this page alive, but have been a little hesitant to express my thoughts in the past few months due to health problems , and concerned the old noggin isn’t working so well yet. Any way here goes, and if I offend any body, please let me know. I will start with this. We watch Saturday Night Live mostly for comic relief, where America has a chance to poke a little fun of itself, and smile a little about is happening in our tipsy-topsy world. 95% of that audience are no doubt bi-cameral minds that chuckle about the subject matter and move on to the pop corn and latest beer fad, not absorbing what they just heard. This is from Headline News featuring Michael Che……. “I know the forefathers say you have the right to own a gun, but they also said we you said you could own people. Look, the constitution is a lot like our grandfather, he’s wise, we love him, and he means well, but he’s getting really really old and once in a while he says something really crazy and we gotta go the other side and discuss what we gonna do about him”……….. That takes on the seriousness of the situation , and can no longer be any form of comic relief. Thanks for reading. In anything you do, Love is the main ingredient.

     EVOLUTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS!
     (Ascension Energies Experience)

     Thank you, Digger and Charlie … Hello Everyone! It’s so special being back with you this evening! So, here we are gathered in our private mountaintop hideaway high above the rest of the world where we’re seated comfortably in our large random circle. Though the cavern is awesome, we’re all cozy and it appears our group is growing. A good thing our Aladdin’s Cave carpets are padded, plus these gorgeous colored pillows all around to lounge on. The torches and candles are lit and the stream along one side is rippling out its melodic sounds. Everything is as we left it late last Fall – though now there are huge snowdrifts outside in the clearing and ice frozen along the waterfall’s edge. So glad we’ve advanced to arrival in our clear bubble merkaba lightbody ships – wasn’t the view below flying over the snow-covered peaks absolutely spectacular?!

     So, reaching into the treasure chest for tonight’s title – Evolution of Consciousness! Subtitle (Ascension Energies Experience). Part 2 of this message next time. It’s been nearly three years since I began this journey with all you guys speaking on topic ‘Higher Consciousness’. We’ve come a long way together! Recall at the end of 2015 to early 2016 I spoke in 3 parts about The Great Awakening-Ascension process being real (spiritually and scientifically), then topics through 2016 and ’17 to my message at the September Summit. This time has represented a huge learning growth phase for me. I truly can picture you here – see your faces and smiles – recall the unity and great vibes shared for that 3-day bubble of time. It’s also the same with all who’ve been with me on these calls. It’s personal now, so I truly do feel you and also welcome anyone who’s new tonight. Talks are archived plus accessible online at Mark’s site WikipediavsNeo-Tech.

     To begin let me ask – Do you take any time out from your own mind-talk and the news propaganda t.v, website or cellphone you’re tuned into? Turn it all off, get out of your head and into your heart by contemplating where we’re headed and the limitless possibilities that represents? Put some perspective on what IS going on with Humanity on beautiful Planet Earth amidst the appearance of such total chaos? But most important, do you ever seriously ponder to create visions of what the reality of the Civilization of the Universe will truly be like?

     There is a revolutionary Awakening happening on this planet right now – an Evolution in our Consciousness! We’re beginning to see sparks of the seeds of an Awareness and a Consciousness Renaissance. The Human body is the highest level of organic consciousness technology in the Universe. The potential for activation and connection on sensory levels is much further developed and refined than just the five bodily sensations of sight, smell, touch, taste and hearing, and are possible inside of each of us.

     We’ve studied we’re made up of powerful energies – magnetic/electric, light frequency and sound resonance waves by which we live, move and have our Being. As more of us yawn, stretch and wake up, the world’s gamma ray and crystal-encoded light increment is rising ever higher! Had you heard scientists proved that at the very moment of conception, an actual spark is generated that can be seen? We are living sparks of light! Neo-Tech and Neothink have enlightened us further to integrate the coming new reality.

     We here are individually and collectively aware of the coming C of U, so will we know when it’s arrived? Elaine asked this question recently on a Powers call. I feel we’ll know because so much is going to transpire now so quickly we won’t be able to miss it! As the Wayshowers and Light Bearers on this swiftly advancing front, we have to believe in it totally, see it and step out of the 3D holographic illusion and into that new space now! There’s no more waiting for anything or anyone any more! It’s obvious the 3D Matrix with all its illusions and programs is crashing faster in every living moment. I ask myself will we just wake up one morning and all this duality consciousness be gone? I believe it’s possible … like a battlefield that encompassed the entire planet in dark, murky mists – we now must peek through the slow-clearing smoke and final death throes of the dying mysticisms and neocheating. Picture as dark clouds part to reveal bright robins-egg blue skies like the past and welcome our future ahead to claim and hold onto a power stance of transforming our liberty and freedom.

     But how do we do that, you ask? Picture it each day through fresh eyes. See Dr. Wallace, Mark’s and our mentors’ truths come alive. Feel it exist in your heart center radiating out into your very Being. Let someone else’s energies drain the swamp while we bring in the new supra-power energies to complete a puzzle picture that includes biological immortality! So, what IS the C of U? In my mind, I believe the simplest definition is that it’s the fully manifested reality life in the Fifth Dimension Neothinkers will create! How’s that for a bold quantum jump thought?

     Some years ago, in contemplating our reality and how to take steps to disengage from it more, I had to do many things differently to create changes. That’s been a continuous process since as I’ve learned more the fine art of adaptability. But at times it’s really been a confusing struggle. And one can’t just wish or say a change into reality that easily. It takes every element of what we’ve learned about discipline, thought and control – plus a lot of imagination, tenacity and determination. It may be the toughest challenge of our entire lives to firmly turn our backs on the past and consciously choose a better way by burning bridges behind … so no way back. I found baby-steps toward changing what you do or behavior toward a habit by intent will help create a new habit with less effort.

     Don’t forget that what you mean when you do a thing will always determine the outcome! A Russian proverb says that “If you chase two rabbits, you will not catch either one!” Right now we are literally walking between dimensional worlds chasing two realities. So, we must choose only the ONE thing – the world the way IT IS or the world the way it CAN BE!

     WE ARE AWAKENED CREATORS!

     Can that consciousness change the world? Of course … there’s more light than dark now for the first time. You must let go of the same old experiences by releasing your resistance to them and your judgments of them. When you quit shaming and blaming yourself for where you are and where you’ve been, you put yourself in the point of the creation process where many more possibilities are available. Humanity has been shifting from feeling disempowered to empowerment to move beyond Earth’s old operating system. Many have been looking to others to change the reality or even for disasters to usher in the new paradigm. But the energies of empowerment are all around now waiting for you to shift your consciousness into them. Inviting you to know you’re powerful Beings of love and light to bring about positive change on Earth. Being on the front line means you’re ready to announce to the world you’re empowered by your own will and energy accessible within to create the world you wish to inhabit. This world exists as potential inside every single one, and by taking action as an intention, desire and willingness to focus, this helps bring it into view.

     Some are having a difficult time letting in the new energies, whether aware of it or not. You no longer have to close yourself off from the dark or fear its existence. When you do, you block the higher light and frequencies from getting inside you. Instead, let those still playing in the dark inspire you to hold that higher frequency. As you watch them do and say what they will, recognize that you are no longer compatible with their vibration and frequency of chaos and negativity, so it cannot harm you. It can only hurt you if you go into a fear mode. So, BE in the flow of your downstream focus life. Be aware you’re making decisions in every single moment that will impact your future! Allow these high frequency energy transmissions from higher realms to come in and resonate within.

     ASCENSION ENERGY WAVES

     In 2017 there were massive Ascension Energy waves bombarding us. A major Stargate just opened and a floodgate of activations in 2018 will be ongoing now until we see to a completion the Evolution of Consciousness! The current influxes are harmonic-based and being delivered via plasma pulses, which is the flashing activity we see when we meditate or connect with the sun. A natural progression in our Ascension is to become a conduit of the plasma frequency pulses and flashing activity. The codes within the DNA, Higher Self, Gaia and New Earth Gateway phase-lock to migrate the consciousness to a new platform and opening the Crystalline Gateways to the New Earth. (More in Part Two about the science of this process).

     We may now experience time in a fluid non-linear state. A key is we enter a period where change overrides habit! Activated DNA is attuning us to a new experience of time. A side effect of increased change over habit has to do also with timelines. The wavering of higher highs and lower lows is the personal and collective timeline fluctuation. Habit wants a familiar experience while change demands a choice. It’s also a time for gatherings to play with our co-creative powers. Possibly most notable is the loss of identity. The glue-like magnetics which held the structures for our old identity, our way of being in form, break apart in a Dimensional Shift. Bandwidths of frequency which hold dimensional realities in place are dissolving, revealing other options. The dynamics which held the old identity as a truth, and the illusion of separation, are breaking apart with the codes and light structures flowing through the Stargates. Hopefully, we’re expressing more from positive heart love instead of negative fear as we see and feel ourselves change! It’s all up to us.

     There is an approaching HUGE wave that will be much stronger than any other prior to it that will trigger a mass Awakening. This is predicted to awaken more individuals at one time than previously ever seen. Those trailblazers on the front lines being called weird for our beliefs will now be supporting others. As Neothinkers, we can be out in front of this wave and thereby integrate it more successfully. We’re capable of handling both our fears and emotions and are ready for major big changes to occur. And don’t forget these would not be coming if, as a collective, we had not asked for them, as we chose to be here now. Many may have been experiencing 4D-5D for some time without realizing it. Where is your awareness and priority in this coming paradigm shift? Are you consciously conscious that it really is happening, or are you in denial or fear? I confessed my fears in my first message about this, but I’ve evolved past that now.

     This next wave will have a tremendous effect on every living Being. And ready or not, its arrival is predicted fairly soon! Being aware and intending to ride it out successfully can make a big difference. This wave is NOT the great solar flare or pulse from our Sol/Sun that will follow sometime by or before 2023 to transform Humans into 5D Beings, but many could make an upward transition. Robert mentioned on his recent call that we need to be in 4D to make the transition. We’re already 3D-4D Humans as our Higher Self/Astral Body dwells in 4D (where we go in meditation or sleep).

     EXCITING DISCLOSURES IN 2018!

     So, we are going to experience anomalies, outrageous events that are inexplicable to our logical minds. We’re going to see many things happen we thought not to be possible, and it’s all going to occur simultaneously in different parts of the world. These combined massive events are definitely going to have an effect on Humanity’s Collective Consciousness. In order to help us let go of the old to visualize the transforming reality, following are predictions of high-status changes touted to be possible this year! Fasten your seatbelt and hang onto your merkaba lightbody as some of these will shake up your mind! This information comes from a credible source I’ve studied since 2008, confirming or summarizing what many sources have also brought forward.

     To begin, the Rockefeller, Kissinger, Bush, Clinton and Obama political syndicates will be peacefully and lawfully removed from American public life permanently. President Barack Obama, like President George Bush Jr. before him, was illegally and unconstitutionally elected; he was a controlled agent of old and diminishing European monetary interests.

     The identities of the hidden Khazar Zionist political bosses embedded in corporate America will be disclosed. The use these bosses have made of human clones in American political management will become common knowledge. The use made of human clones in managing European Royal families, international banking, spiritual fascism in religion, industrial militarism and political assassinations will be made clear for all to see. The fact that mind-controlled human clones have been democratically elected into national leaderships, have signed state and religious papers of moment, and have been terminated at will and substituted with others, will be revealed.

     Jorge Mario Bergoglio (‘Francis’), the present Pope, will be obliged to retire. Like Tenzin Gyatso (the Dalai Lama) and Billy Graham (U.S. Protestant evangelist), he is a Western deep-state-controlled PsyOp, who functions within the mechanism of establishment religious control and disinformation. Alternative views about the current significance of recent words by the Pope and the Dalai Lama are beginning to be offered, including from an independent high-status site. And with regard to the Pope, a photograph has turned up of him in Caacupé, Paraguay, in July 2015. It purports to show him receiving a benevolent light blessing from the Higher Evolution; in this case from the Maitreya Buddha (aka Melchizedek or Christ). The picture is linked.

     Queen Elizabeth II of England will abdicate or, at the very least, will begin to withdraw from active personal involvement in Constitutional, Church of England, and international banking affairs. The occult connection between the Vatican in Rome and The Crown Temple in London will be revealed. The London Crown Temple is reported to be the old and diminishing European monetary entity which owns the assets and income of the US Federal Reserve System, and controls all its disbursements.

     The legitimacy of ‘royal’ status will attract increasing forensic scrutiny in the public domain. Why should élite, unelected, unappointed, unqualified bloodlines have privileged access to vast invisible wealth and influence? The rôle of the European royal families in the Nazi continuum’s shadow banking nexus will be exposed. An incremental admixture of document leaks, legal interventions and inside disclosures will galvanize public outrage.

     All around the world, national leaders and régimes which have political, corporate or legal connections with the anti-Constitutional US governing establishment (the Washington D.C. Private Corporation) will be removed from power. Particularly likely to benefit in this regard are: Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Burundi, Colombia, Congo, Egypt, France, Georgia, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Macedonia, Malaysia, Mexico, Moldova, Myanmar, Netherlands, Qatar, North Korea, South Korea, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, the Sudans, Pakistan, Paraguay, Poland, Taiwan, Thailand, UK, Ukraine and Yemen. Peaceful, democratic and benevolent régime changes in these nations will soon be possible.

     The low-vibration Anti-Christ energies of lies, deceit and personal greed, as channeled by the American political establishment (Republican and Democrat), will cease to be sustainable. Undetectable manipulation of the Kissinger-Bush-Clinton-Obama kind will become increasingly impossible on Earth as the energetic environment of planetary cleansing and Ascension raises the dominant vibrations of light throughout the planet.

     Major geopolitical financial changes, previously thought impossible, will become increasingly manifest. The internationally-traded US Dollar will continue under the ownership and control of Asia, will become a gold-backed currency, will gain in value, and will be systemically separated from the fiat form of USD used domestically within the US. By end of 2018, all internationally-traded USD bills (notes) will carry a visible Chinese signatory on the obverse (not US Treasurer or US Treasury signatures). The Swiss Franc has already in 2015 broken its peg with the Euro (fiat currency) and become gold-backed. The US will lose control of the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, World Bank and World Trade Organization to the G-188BRICS Alliance. A new U.N. Headquarters will be (or has already been) built in China. The G7 Bretton Woods money management system of 1944 will be consigned to the dustbin of history.

     In 2018, many of the major changes in global economic governance will force themselves into visibility in the mainstream financial media in the West. These will manifest when the Asian CIPS (delivery) (Cross-Border Interbank Payment System) completely supplants the current Western SWIFT system (The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) global dollar based interbank payments network. This change is now under way. Very soon, it will be possible to translocate all major asset-backed capital flows between global financial centres without the risk of élite theft, diversion or mirroring. Benevolent conduits for the global prosperity funds will be in place and secure.

     Various long-held funds, some of esoteric origin and some of exoteric origin, will begin to be released into these new, secure, financial conduits during 2018. (Esoteric means known by a select special few – exoteric means suitable for general public knowledge). One of the exoteric sources is referred to as The Global Collateral Accounts. These are said to amount to $93 quadrillion of ready-to-go, audited assets (precious metals, gems, bonds, etc.) mostly owned by Asian depositors and held in more than a thousand different locations across the Eastern Hemisphere.

     In November 2015, the Asian Elders who own and control most of these reserves appointed Neil Keenan to be the Monetary Controller of the The Global Collateral Accounts. He is now N1 M1; the only rightful steward of this disbursement authority since President Sukarno of Indonesia was invested with that power in the 1940’s. (Rick has brought forward a great deal of information about Neil and his many exploits).

     The history of The Global Collateral Accounts is convoluted and much obfuscated by Western rogue faction financial terrorism over the last eight decades. It takes in the 1944 and 1995 Bretton Woods Agreements, the assassination of US President J.F. Kennedy (1963), and the 9/11 false flag attacks in America (2001).

     Separate from the The Global Collateral Accounts, the NESARA Global Prosperity Programs are also due to be announced and activated. This is the National Economic Stabilization and Reformation Act. One of the funds involved is The Saint Germain World Trust, which has an esoteric history. It’s said to contain deliverable precious metals and currencies worth upwards of one quattuordecillion USA dollars. This is $1 with forty noughts after it! Among other global humanitarian and free energy projects, this new money will be used to buy out all oil corporations, banks and pharmaceutical cartels. And it will zero out (permanently cancel) all personal, corporate and national debts worldwide. (In other words, the long-awaited Jubilee).

     The whole Human population will benefit from NESARA. Earth is a most abundant planet. There is more than enough gold-backed Human money currently in existence on Earth for each and every Human Being to be a GBP (Great Britain Pound) millionaire without debts of any kind. NESARA is about sharing the resources of the planet around fairly. And NESARA is about putting benevolent banking systems in place worldwide to deliver this monetary fairness. No individual anywhere on Earth will be beyond the reach of the NESARA wealth redistribution programs. And no individual or organization anywhere on Earth will be able to stop it.

     NESARA will cancel all credit card, mortgage and other bank debt due to illegal banking and government corruption worldwide. Income tax will be abolished. A new 14% flat rate tax on non-essential new items will provide the necessary revenue stream for national governments. Money will cease to be spent on war, élite security and covert militarism via terrorist private armies. There will be increased benefits for senior citizens. In the USA, there will be a return to Constitutional Law at every level of the legal system.

     And in the USA, a new banking system – American Banking Central – will click into function and will involve twenty nine new locally-orientated banks. The Federal Reserve Board will be abolished (letter shown). The Internal Revenue Service will also be abolished. Free Energy Tesla technologies suppressed by the JPMorgan, Rockefeller and Bush families’ corporate energy cartels will become freely known and freely available. There will be no further need to burn fossil fuels once the Tesla technologies are in place in industry, homes and vehicles.

     Things will be seen in the skies, on the surface of the Earth and inside the Earth which mainstream corporate media and mainstream western education say do not exist and cannot happen. The core signifiers of ancient mythologies will be found to be real.

     The covert interaction of several world governments with negative ET groups will be exposed. The rôle of positive ET groups in promoting the energization of the planet and the manifestation of the NESARA process will be explained. The significance of the agriglyphs (crop circles) will become better understood. Availability of off-planet technologies for pollution control, food manifestation, human transport, and information retrieval will be revealed. Sonic healing machines will begin to be released for the free use of all. Negative Stargate (interdimensional portal) in Iraq at the ancient Sumerian site of Entemenanki (the locality of the ziggurat of Marduk in ancient Babylon) will be closed.

     Books will be opened. Human histories will be corrected. Many veridical accounts of human history still exist but have been hidden away and protected for final release during this end-time. (Veridical means truthful, voracious, corresponding to facts, not illusory, real, actual and genuine). These will be released and published in many languages and held safe beyond the censorship of dogmatic religion. Remote viewing of suppressed texts in closed libraries will become common. ET text-energy reading technologies, along with advanced manuscript reconstitution and multiplication techniques will become available.

     It will become evident that no history, no event, no experience, no exchange, no conversation, no train of thought, and no feeling can ever be totally erased. Everything that’s ever happened still exists perfectly in its original energy pattern. With extraterrestrial and spiritual technologies, past histories anywhere and anywhen can be comprehensively accessed and published. Every event that has ever taken place can be retrieved, reproduced and replayed in sound, vision, tactuality and multiple sensation. This will begin to be understood.

     During 2018 more young people and old people, inside and outside world governments, will speak the truth with greater energy, greater clarity and less fear than ever before in Human history. And their words will be heard, preserved and multiplied beyond the reach of establishment suppression. They will tell of many things from their own personal experience. They will tell of Earth changes to come and they will tell of Earth changes past. They will tell of how tsunamis, freak weather conditions in the USA and earthquakes in Japan, have been deliberately man-made by covert government agencies. They will tell of the fate of the hundreds of thousands of missing children worldwide (many of these will begin to be released, alive, from underground bunkers). They will tell how disease bio-weapons such as Ebola, AIDS, SARS, MERS, H5N1 and Morgellons were deliberately deployed by rogue faction government agencies seeking to reduce the world’s population by covert criminal means, particularly in Africa and Asia. (The doctor who cooked up the AIDS virus finally confessed it in January – he holds the patent on it).

     And great news! On the web, a new democratic social encyclopedia to replace Wikipedia will arise. Unlike Wikipedia, this will be constructed in such a way that security, corporate and Zionist misinformers will be unable to manipulate its content. Truth will become clean and free for all. (Including Dr. Wallace and Mark’s uncensored books!)

     Around the world, academic cryptographers and their students will begin to construct new codings and encryption systems which will effectively address the challenge of unlawful mass surveillance by rogue faction security entities.

     Linked with this, a new international digital currency, similar to Bitcoin, will begin to evolve which will be as secure and as value-stable over the coming centuries as metallic gold used to be before Western market manipulation subverted it with multiple lease-outs and high-volume paper derivatives. It will be worth watching the developing dynamics of the gold and Bitcoin charts this year.

     The 188-Nation BRICS Alliance, led by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, will become central in facilitating veridical global news-flows and the introduction of new asset-backed international currencies. Iran will become increasingly important in the media initiative, employing well-resourced English language outlets.

     New crowd-sourced media organizations will emerge in the West. The accelerating meme that leaking and whistle-blowing is more effective, more patriotic than voting, will become established norm in Western professional, banking, security and military cultures.

     Into this climate of global disclosure will emerge the greatest discloser of all – the long expected World Teacher of The Aquarian Age! Called variously The Imam Mahdi, The Fifth Buddha (or Maitreya Buddha), The Messiah, Krishna, or The Christ, The World Teacher and his team of Spiritual Masters will disclose openly the diseases of past history and the healing of the present. And The World Teacher – no surprise here – will not be a religious figure. More information about the emergence of The World Teacher is linked. (Note: 13 catholic churches were burned down by rioting crowds recently on the Pope’s S. A. trip due to the pedophilia epidemic. Religion, now said by many, is doomed to fail.)

     In 2018, there will be further disclosures about endemic professional corruption in Western healthcare systems. Modern allopathic medicine will be shown to be a total manipulative fraud designed by the corporate controllers of the pharmaceutical industry to make people ill, keep them ill, and kill them prematurely if they are poor. The tools of this manipulation are sophisticated poisons dressed-up as expensive medicines or vaccines. The medicines in most cases are unnecessary, as is the fashion for casual intrusive surgery which makes even more expensive medicines necessary. Follow the money. Notice also the establishment attempts to suppress or outlaw alternative herbal remedies which work better and cost less. More information about The Ritalin conspiracy and the Statin scam is linked.

     With the exception of the unensouled clones (no-soul humanoids) and robotoids, all ensouled Human Beings currently living in the surface Human population on Earth have been Spiritual Masters in at least one previous life on other planets or in other parallel realities. This was the basic qualification for being allowed to take a Human incarnation at this important (and difficult) transitional period on Earth. (I call it Earth School.) As these ensouled Humans now begin to wake up to their full spiritual potentials, they will discover and exercise their latent shamanic abilities. These include telepathy, long sight, contact with other evolutions (plant and animal), and non-intrusive energy healing.

     Since (about) 2006, many extraordinary Human children have been coming into incarnation. Many of these are neither male or female; they are both. This is the arrival of a third gender among the Human population; they will be fully potent as both females and males. They are benevolent, strangely talented and initially their arrival was hushed up. Then attempts were made to disable the new children by ‘corrective’ surgery or doctored ‘vaccinations’. When that failed, some were labelled demonic, mutant or autistic (according to which national or religious culture they were born into), and were marginalized. This year, a new establishment approach to this emerging third gender will become increasingly visible: unconditional acceptance. This approach is unavoidable. There are so many of these children now, and their parents are so outraged at the attempted medical mutilations and denials of their childrens’ obvious benevolent Being, that the positive crowd, once more, will prevail over the negative élite controllers.

     The story of what is going to happen in 2018 is the biggest story in the history of Human Civilization on this planet! It is much too big a story to be handled accurately by the corporate mainstream media. The news will be broken, initially, though Indymedia, alternative news, and progressive spirituality sites on the web. But most of all, the story will be discovered in personal experience. As more and more people learn the spiritual exercises of meditation, invocation, affirmation and dream management, they will break free, see clearly and speak openly of that which was, and that which is to come.

     The dark forces of debt-banking, mass surveillance and religious deceit are crumbling. Thirteen millennia of élite-led disinformation are coming to an end. Disclosure is light; disclosure is change. Disclosure is the oxygen of planetary healing!!

     FINAL WRAP-UP:

     It is thought that many of the changes hinted at above have been in detailed preparation since the mid-1990s. Some, such as the safe sequestering of precious metals, gems and document troves, it is said, have been overseen by benevolent secret societies and others for three or four centuries or longer. The probability is that the major changes will be disclosed in a tumble of unexpected news shocks from multiple spoken and documentary sources, beginning (perhaps) in Asia or Switzerland. We are talking about the beginning of a new Golden Age; the first on this planet since Atlantis was lost over 13,000 years ago.

     Things should unfold in right sequence. A possible or likely batting order might be:

     (1) Global stock market collapse to minus fifty or minus sixty percent in the first half of 2018; Western derivatives casino, oligarchic bloodline trusts and foundations, hedge funds and zombie banks wiped out as the bond bubbles burst in succession, each burst bigger than the one before.

     (2) Public arrest and physical quarantining of all still-existing negative players (one to two million individuals globally); mostly élite/covert cadres, money-launderers and agency-sponsored private armies (‘military contractors’). Erasure of all national, corporate and individual legal immunities. No exceptions.

     (3) Interim government régime changes (personnel) plus switch away from Admiralty (Colonial) Law and state-of-emergency laws to Common Law / Constitutional Law; sweeping changes in Western mainstream media ownership and control; new-style transparent national elections across the ‘Developed’ World.

     (4) Global debt forgiveness rolled out at all national, corporate and individual levels. No exceptions.

     (5) Major new asset-backed funds, distributed from Asia, come on line through newly-secured wire conduits. Trillions first; quadrillions soon after.

     (6) Patented (and previously secret) free energy, pollution management, water supply, travel and healing technologies released.

     (7) Launch of a public, legal, truth and reconciliation process to deal with (2) above.

     (8) A global education program (from new and hitherto widely unknown Human teachers) is introduced. This to include detailed disclosures of: Hidden geographies (Agartha, Hollow Earth, Atlantis, polar portals, etc.); hidden biologies (the spiritual civilizations of the plant and animal peoples); suppressed histories and origins (planetary, interplanetary, interstellar and interdimensional); deep state apparatus; secret societies; ‘royal’ bloodlines; religious deceptions; genetic and spiritual anatomies; positive nutrition and longevity options; intelligent life on local Solar System planets; and benevolent ET’s already among us.

     (9) About a year after (8) has started, benevolent ET flypasts, invited landings and reunions with Humanity.

     Wow, that’s it! What a phenomenal picture that paints! If or when even half is real or transpired in the near future, we could soon be waking up in a new world paradigm. I feel Neo-Tech/Neothink is the foundation of the bridge each of us is building to The C of U as our DNA and consciousness are upgraded. Once there, we’ll reside in unity with great powers in the manifested reality of the Fifth Dimension. Time alone will tell as we arise and awaken! But let’s be clear that though 5D is on our journey ahead, it’s not our ultimate goal, just a major step. We’ll be even more valuable as the Zon creators of the transformation by bringing and manifesting the C of U for ourselves and the world!

     For now, let’s head out with new visions dancing of younger, healthier and stronger lives! Thank you Mark, Digger and Charlie – and all of you here. I appreciate you more than you know. All is well and all will be well. Until next time, goodnight with dreams of the approaching future in our ongoing Evolution of Consciousness!!

     *Thanks everyone for the feedback and comments. So much love! jc

243. Oh Cowboy, so good to see your words here again!!! And thanks for being on the School of Genius-Rise of Neo-Tech call tonight for my presentation. I’m so glad you made it … literally … and will continue to send healing and love your way day and night! We’ll have to make an effort to resurrect this site more again, huh?

     Thank you, Mark Hamilton and Dr. Frank Wallace for Neothink and Neo-Tech and this site.

244. Hello To my Neo-Tech-Neo-think friends. It’s been a long time that I have tried to find something that would be positive by nature and that everyone should get a” feel good” feeling about. For the purpose of labeling this article, we will call it” compatibility.” No, I didn’t write this article, but wish I had. “So what does it take to live to be a 100 and beyond? As you will see, the answer is not what we expect. Julianne Holt-Lunstad is a researcher @ Brigham Young University and she addressed this very question in a survey of ten’s of thousands of middle aged people , and she looked at every aspect of their lifestyle. Their diet, their exercise , their marital status, how often they went to the Dr. ,whether they smoked or drank etc. She recorded this and then she and her fellow colleagues sat tight and waited 7 years to see to see who would still be breathing and of the people left standing , what reduced there chances of dying the most? That was her question. So lets now look at her summary going from the least powerful predictor to the strongest. Whether you are lean or overweight , you can stop feeling guilty about this because it’s only in 3rd place. How much exercise you get is next, but still a moderate predictor, and of the people left standing, what reduced their chances the most? That was her question, and 1st of all their close relationship. these being the kind of people you can call on for a loan if you need money or will call a Dr. if your not feeling well, or will take you to the hospital or will set up with your having an extential crisis , if your in despair. Those people , that little clutch of people are a strong predictor if you if you have them and as to how long you might live. So the big surprise!!! And no surprise at this point, it is something called” social integration .” This means how much you interact with others as you move through your day . How many people you talk to? , and this means your weak and strong bonds , so not just the people you are really close to you , but do you talk to the guy who makes your coffee everyday? Do you talk to the woman who walks by your house every day with her dog, or play bridge or poker or a book . Or time set aside to read and study the literature of Dr. Wallace or Mark Hamilton?) Those interactions are by far the strongest predictors of how long you will live. Thanks for reading my post. Also remember to put a little love in your heart. Wayne.

245. To Pete ,Forest and Carol, as well as my special friend Judith. Thanks for your concern and no words can express the feelings and emotions I have for the Neo-Think family at the present time. I will try to explain the best I can, and hopefully still make sense. Around Jan. 6th, I apparently woke Cheryl and Tom up and was in terrible pain. That is the last thing I fully recall for 2 weeks. What was explained to me was they went back through the groin area to repair an area that was designated off- limits to start with and ruptured the veins, so again, massive bleeding occured and they had to use a specialized clamp to cut off the blood flow, but during this proceedure, they clipped the nerve endings . and they are now telling me those nerves grows like 2 centimeters a month at most, and even if they find the ends to still be there, there is only a 50/50 chance i will be able to ever walk again, For the time being, I have Physical Therapy 2 daysaweek, Occupational therapy the other 2 days and Speech therapy on Fridays. (The lady comes in on Friday for bath or Shower. The VA supplied me wth all the home devices except still waiting for a slide in shower bench. That pretty well covers it for now, Again thanks everyone for your concern.

246. HI PETE,
     i’M GLAD THAT YOU ARE GOING TO START POSTING ON THIS SITE AGAIN; I BEGAN TO THINK THAT THIS SITE WAS ALMOST A FORGOTTEN HISTORY,, AND THAT MAYBE NO ONE ELSE WAS GOING TO READ IT ANYWAY.

     NO ONE BUT YOU, ME, AND WAYNE EVER WRITES HERE NOW, AND JUDITH POPS IN ONCE IN A WHILE. i KNOW THAT SHE HAS BEEN FACING SOME “VERY TRYING” SITUATIONS FOR A WHILE NOW, AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM HER MORE OFTEN.

     i DON’T KNOW IF YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS, BUT WAYNE HAD SURGERY A FEW DAYS AGO, AND DURING THE OPERATION, THE SURGEONS ACCIDENTALLY CUT A CRITICAL NERVE, AND NOW HE CAN’T EVEN WALK!! HE IS IN A REHABILITATION CENTER NOW, AND i HEARD THAT HE WILL BE THERE FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS!!

     I TRUST THAT HE WILL BE ON THE MEND SOONER THAN LATER, AND I AM HOPEFUL THAT HIS CUT NERVE WILL RE-CONNECT SO THAT HE CAN GET BACK TO NORMAL. WE CONTINUE TO SEND OUT OUR LOVE AND HEALING ENERGY FOR HIM AND FOR ALL OTHERS AS WELL.

     THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED POSTS ON THIS SITE PETE.

     YOUR FRIEND, — FOREST

     P.S. — DO YOU KNOW IF WAYNE HAS HAD HIS COMPUTER, WITH HIM IN THE HOSPITAL, OR IF HE IS USING A “SMALLER” HAND-HELD DEVICE TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH US??

247. Hey Wayne–
     It’s Monday – 1/22/18.
     I’ve been away from the computer for several days. I’m gonna start posting here later this week. !!! pez

250. Hey Wayne —
     It’s Monday afternoon, 1/8/18.

     I made the decision yesterday to scale back or nearly eliminate my ‘This Day In History’
     posts on this site. Then I heard you’re having some health issues. At this point I’m going
     to mix in some humor, music, and of course PRIME LITERATURE ramblings moving
     forward — and of course I’ll be sending you energy and will attempt to contact you via
     phone, text, or US Mail. Take care my friend. !!! pez

251. Painting pictures in my mind in an effort to put all those puzzle pieces together……… As though an invisible force gave me a bonk and a bump on the noggin in the middle of the night, actually at 2;07 pm, my eyes flew open. For a brief moment all I could hear was my heart pounding in my head, and the silence . Pull myself out of bed and into my chair, drag the blanket over my aching knees, as it’ a bit chilly in here. Time to clear the brain fog ,set my goals and decide on the direction I wish take in the new year 2018. I just become fully aware of a warm soft ball of fur purring contentedly on my lap. Perhaps Simple Simon is MY master and spiritual advisor. After all he does seem to calm me through my many storms of life, and always shares an unconditional and undying LOVE, no matter what. What if: I need him much more than he needs me? 2017 in review: Certainly not my best. It came in like an angry dragon spewing out chaos, hate, turmoil and illnesses everywhere! Let it be gone! And now the question is “why?” What caused this abnormality in not only my life but so many others I look up to and admire if only from a distance. It seems that nobody was free of the mysticisms that try to control our lives, otherwise there would be no need for healing lists. Now back to the question why. The literature, the lectures, the calls , need to rise to that higher consciousness, ? The answer is lying in the wind. Love to all.

252. The first week of the new year 2018 has already sped by. Word from headquarters seems to be saying that in order to be more interactive , changes are being made to do a new way of teaching and a new direction. The most powerful message thus far where I am concerned. ” This is me, This is who I am, Take me as I am or leave me as I am.” Just a fleeting thought from LinkedIn today. WOW, the remaining guys at the old 307th and 98th Air Refueling Squadron must be in awe of some of todays modern technological advances. So instead of cranking the old KC-97’s and newer KC-135’s to get fuel to the boys in blue, Boeing unveils a drone capable of landing on an aircraft carrier, which could refuel fighter jets in mid-air. The Boeing MQ-25 drone is designed to provide the Navy with refueling capabilities that would extend the combat ranges of deployed Boeing F/A18 Super Hornet, the EA-18G Growler, and Lockheed Martin’s F-35 C’s . the latest and most current fighter (that we are allowed to know about). There is a lot to cover in this article, but to me , several thoughts come to mind. Is it more humane way to fight a war? Future wars by the military is going to integrate robots instead of human beings? And who really profits? Boeing , along with General Atomics and Lockheed Martin are vying for a giant contract to build 76 of these drones to be delivered by the mid 20’s. The cost of this project is so high, they aren’t willing to disclose what it will cost the taxpayers to finance, but keep in mind the Pentagon is really partial to these 3 largest corporations in the world. Trickle that down!

253. December 29, 1947
     ===============
     On this day in 1947, the actor Ted Danson, who became best known for his role
     as bar owner Sam Malone on the mega-hit TV sitcom Cheers, which originally
     aired from 1982 to 1993, was born in San Diego, California.

     After graduating from Carnegie Mellon University, where he studied drama, Danson appeared
     on the 1970s soap opera Somerset and starred in TV commercials, most notably for the men’s
     fragrance Aramis. Danson catapulted to Hollywood stardom with his role as Sam Malone, a
     former professional baseball player and ladies man who runs a Boston-based bar called
     Cheers in the sitcom of the same name. The show, which premiered on NBC on
     September 30, 1982, and opened with the now-classic theme song “Where
     Everybody Knows Your Name,” centers around a group of regulars who
     hang out at Cheers, including lovable but dim-witted bartender Woody
     Boyd (Woody Harrelson), know-it-all mailman Cliff Clavin (John
     Ratzenberger), frequently unemployed Norm Peterson (George
     Wendt), feisty waitress Carla (Rhea Perlman) and snooty
     psychiatrist Fraser Crane (Kelsey Grammer). (Crane
     later got his own long-running sitcom, Frasier, which originally
     aired from 1993 to 2004). Among the main storylines on Cheers were
     Sam Malone’s lengthy on-again, off-again romantic relationships with waitress-grad
     student Diane Chambers (Shelley Long, who was a Cheers cast member from 1982-1987)
     and businesswoman Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley, a regular from 1987-1993). During its 11-season
     run, Cheers featured guest appearances by a number of celebrities and public figures, including Johnny
     Carson, then-Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill and Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek.

     Created by James Burrows and brothers Glen and Les Charles, Cheers was almost
     cancelled due to poor ratings during its first season; it hung on, however, and
     eventually became a massive hit with audiences. The show was nominated
     for a total of more than 100 Emmy Awards, and it won 28. The final episode of Cheers
     aired on May 20, 1993, and attracted more than 80 million viewers, making it one of the
     top-rated finales in TV history. (The all-time record holder, the 1983 M*A*S*H finale, was
     seen by some 106 million people, while more than 76 million viewers tuned in to the 1998 finale of Seinfeld.)

     Following Cheers, Danson starred as a cranky doctor in the TV sitcom Becker, which aired on
     CBS from 1998 to 2004. Among his more recent TV credits are recurring roles on Curb Your
     Enthusiasm and Damages. Danson has also appeared in a number of movies, including 1979’s
     The Onion Field, which marked his big-screen debut; 1981’s Body Heat, featuring Kathleen
     Turner and William Hurt; the 1987 hit comedy Three Men and a Baby, with Tom Selleck and
     Steve Guttenberg; Made in America (1993), which co-starred Danson’s then-paramour
     Whoopi Goldberg; and Saving Private Ryan (1998). Danson has been married to his third
     wife, the actress Mary Steenburgen (Melvin and Howard, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Elf) since 1995.

254. December 28, 1954
     ===============
     On this day in 1954, the Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington – whowent on to star
     in such movies as Malcolm X and Training Da – wass born in Mount Vernon, New York.
     In 2002, for his performance as a corrupt cop in Training Day, Washington became the
     first black man to win the Best Actor Academy Award since 1964, when Sidney Poitier
     received the award for Lilies of the Field.

     Washington graduated from Fordham University and studied acting at the American Conservatory
     Theatre. He first gained notice in Hollywood for his role as Dr. Philip Chandler on the popular TV
     medical drama St. Elsewhere, which originally aired from 1982 to 1988. Washington received his
     first Oscar nomination, in the Best Supporting Actor category, for his performance as the
     anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko in 1987’s Cry Freedom. He won his first Best
     Supporting Actor Oscar two years later, for his portrayal of a runaway slave
     who joins the Union Army in the 1989 Civil War-era film Glory.

     During the 1990s, Washington established himself on Hollywood’s A-list as an actor who could shine in serious dramas as well as blockbuster thrillers. He collaborated with the director Spike Lee on Mo’ Better Blues (1990), the biopic Malcolm X (1992), which earned Washington a Best Actor Oscar nomination for the title role, and He Got Game (1998). He also appeared in such movies as Mississippi Masala (1991), Philadelphia (1993), with Tom Hanks, and the biopic The Hurricane (1996), which earned Washington another Best Actor Oscar nomination for his performance as a boxer falsely convicted of murder. He also starred in such hit thrillers as The Pelican Brief (1993) and Crimson Tide (1995).

     After his historic win for Training Day, Washington went on to star in Man on Fire (2004)
     with Dakota Fanning, Spike Lee’s Inside Man (2006) with Jodie Foster, and American
     Gangster (2007) with Russell Crowe. Washington, who in 1996 was named People
     magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive,” stepped behind the camera to direct 2002’s
     Antwone Fisher, in which he co-starred with Derek Luke in the story of
     a navy officer who confronts his troubled past. More recently, he
     helmed 2007’s The Great Debaters, in which he also starred as
     an inspiring debate coach at an African-American university in the 1930s.
     =====================

255. December 27, 1932
     ===============
     At the height of the Great Depression, thousands turned out for the opening of Radio
     City Music Hall – a magnificent Art Deco theater in New York City. Radio City Music
     Hall was designed as a palace for the people, a place of beauty where ordinary people
     could see high-quality entertainment. Since its 1932 opening, more than 300 million
     people have gone to Radio City to enjoy movies, stage shows, concerts, and special events.

     Radio City Music Hall was the brainchild of the billionaire John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who decided to make the theater the cornerstone of the Rockefeller Complex he was building in a formerly derelict neighborhood in midtown Manhattan. The theater was built in partnership with the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) and designed by Donald Deskey. The result was an Art Deco masterpiece of elegance and grace constructed out of a diverse variety of materials, including aluminum, gold foil, marble, permatex, glass, and cork. Geometric ornamentation is found throughout the theater, as is Deskey’s central theme of the “Progress of Man.” The famous Great Stage, measuring 60 feet wide and 100 feet long, resembles a setting sun. Its sophisticated system of hydraulic-powered elevators allowed spectacular effects in staging, and many of its original mechanisms are still in use today.

     In its first four decades, Radio City Music Hall alternated as a first-run movie theater and a site for gala stage shows. More than 700 films have premiered at Radio City Music Hall since 1933. In the late 1970s, the theater changed its format and began staging concerts by popular music artists. The Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular, which debuted in 1933, draws more than a million people annually. The show features the high-kicking Rockettes, a precision dance troupe that has been a staple at Radio City since the 1930s.

     In 1999, the Hall underwent a seven-month, $70 million restoration. Today,
     Radio City Music Hall remains the largest indoor theater in the world.
     ==================

256. Robert’s talks on the School of Genius always leaves me in complete awe. Last night, Jan 2, was no exception. I believe the open line discussions are inadequate because the genius and the consciousness of this teacher of Samyama reaches above our ability to grasp yet. There are so many factions of this subject that fascinates me. One that I may have reported on wiki previously involves the “Raikov effect”, which refers to a person’s ability to mimic and take on the mindset of another person such as an Einstein, and can take on that mindset to access his way of thinking. It involves a process of deep trance identification(At this point, Digger is most probably shouting mysticism at the top of his voice,) but what better example that we normally use less than 10% of our left brain? It works when the inductive modeler uses hypnotic trances as the primary learning process. In hypnosis the modeler will associate into the model and experience the world through the perspective of the model including the model’s state of thoughts, beliefs and values. The Raikov Effect is also referred to as the “Genius Brain Power Program”. Although you may feel that trances and hypnotic events are mysticisms, it is still beyond my comprehension that through those states of semi-consciousness? that they are able to take the likes of a person such as myself with an average I.Q. and raise his level of beyond an earthly conscious level to a genius level reserved to a few supreme geniuses of the world? What ingredient. whether major or minor, has the power to do that? These are a few things that I seek answers to. Robert has given us some insight on how expand the human brain. I have searched for a quote from the Neo-Tech bible about nothing is unknowable to the—-? mind, and requires no change or evolvement to understand anything in existence. (Sorry, need a reference guide, couldn’t find on the spur of the moment. ) Just some thoughts on this day. Thanks for reading.

257. In reference to one of Pete’s Posts dated 12/6/2017, regarding the Washington Monument, In 1884, they placed a 9″ aluminum pyramid atop of white marble. The engineer in charge of the monument wanted to place a metal pyramid at the tip to serve as a lightning rod. My interest in pyramids have been peaked considering what Russia has discovered in building them with plastic pipe etc. but back to the monument. It was considered expensive as aluminum was a $1.00 an ounce, and the average wage was a whopping $1.00 for a 10 hour day. Copper , bronze and brass plated with platinum were the preferred materials but considered to be too expensive. The story went on to say that the maker had submitted a bid of $80 for his labors, but ended up billing for $200 plus, and almost didn’t get paid. I did search the records to find out that the origins of metals were fully explained, and apparently there were no deep dark secrets or powers or other startling events about the pyramid other than what it is …. a lightning rod.. Darn it!

258. January 1, 2018…..Here’s to a more productive new year, and the future growth of the “Face to the world” society. Recently the subject of the Neo-Tech bible has been the topic on many of the evening programs. This is a personal story of an event that happened a few years ago within my own family. Prior to my wife’s passing, her cousin and his wife came to visit from the South. They (The Family ) are good-hard working people who are all value producers rather than value creators. they have devoted their lives to being public servants working in such jobs as law enforcement, fire departments and various other utility companies, so, you get the picture. Her cousin is a Viet-Nam vet, and we had plenty to discuss, and overall it was enjoyable visit. In my haste to find something interesting and entertaining I chose to take them to the” Journey ” museum because this is the home of some of the largest dinosaurs ever discovered. The tour was an hour or so long, and after we left the establishment, I noticed his attitude had taken on a whole new tone, and for what seemed an eternity I listened and watched this otherwise mild mannered person rant and rave that this is NOT God’s teachings and our books were pure blasphemy! If anything, I was the one descended from the apes, and the fact that he was witnessing the remains of the largest skeleton ever found, it surely was not any evolutionary process but God in heaven that created Earth. So that brings about one of the biggest problems facing our “Face to the World” society today. We are already on the way to the mid-21st century, and most of our population is so steeped in mysticisms that change is mentally and physically impossible. Thanks for reading.

259. Some notes I had written in my notebook while on hiatus from Wiki. They are random thoughts that occur from time to time. “I have never ran from controversy, so I will just say it. I am proud to be a white man, however , REGARDLESS OF COLOR OR CREED WE ALL DESERVE TO BE PROUD. As humans who have been placed on planet Earth, EVERY race has made major accomplishments and brought forth traditions without ethnic overtones.” …….. The word racism or racist seems to have become a part of our vocabulary lately. It is not particularly a word about color. It also means someone who believes they are far more superior than others. Didn’t WW 2 teach us anything?…………… On a lighter note. I think I know why Dr. Wallace decided to call all God-men Zons. All the other letters that could be attached to “ons” were already used up. Think about it! Otherwise we ALL would be Ron’s or Don’s, and we all know there are already enough “Con’s ” in the Universe…….. Further indications that Simon and I have been pinned up in this room too long.

260. A follow up on the old bible story above. I spent some time doing some research to verify the contents of that story, and what I came up with was there were originally two manuscripts that existed, one version in Italian, and the other in Spanish, however that version has been deemed officially “lost” in recent years. The Catholic religion has said “Barnabas ” is devoid of any evidence to support it and is far from being authentic first considering accounting of facts about Jesus, and is actually a late midieval fabrication from the late 16th Century. So much for the various religions working to find peace and love in THIS Universe, huh! I guess if I were the Turks, I would want to get the 28 mill. that the book has been appraised for before sending it off to the Vatican.

261. The fact that mysticisms are hard to shed and never seem to end has everything to do with the constant brainwashing we are subjected to on a daily, even hourly basis. Whether in a subtle or in your face way, religious and political groups use this method to constantly plant there messages into your sub-conscious brain. This is one of those stories now. ” Vatican in Awe: 1500 year old bible confirms that Jesus Christ was NOT crucified much to their dismay! (this article was published by Native Daily News) ….A 1500-2000 year old bible was found in Turkey, in the Ethnography Museum of Ankara that was discovered and kept secret since the year 2000. The book contains the “Gospel of Barnabas” — A disciple of Christ, which shows that Jesus was not crucified , nor was the son of God , but a prophet. The book also calls Apostle Paul “The Impostor” and claims that Jesus ascended to “Heaven” alive and Judas Iscariot was crucified in his place, (gain my point is not to create controversy, but to point out that this material is designed to keep it alive in our minds) A report by the National Turk? says the bible was seized from a gang of smugglers in a Mediterranean area operation, and states the gang was charged with smuggling antiquities, illegal excavations and possession of explosives. The book itself is said to be valued as high as 40 Million Turkish liras (Approx. 28 million in U.S. dollars) As for authenticity , and according to reports , experts, and religious authorities in Tehran insist the book is original. The book itself is written in gold lettering onto loosely -tied leather in Aramaic, the language, the language of Jesus Christ. The text maintains a vision similar to Islam , contradicting the new testament’s teaching of Christianity. Jesus also foresees the coming of Mohammad, who would found Islam 700 years later. It is believed that during the council of Nicea, the Catholic church HAND PICKED the gospels that forms the bible as we know it today: omitting the Gospel of Barnabas, (among many others) in favor of just the 4 canonical gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, however many biblical texts have began to surface overtime including the Dead Sea and Gnostic gospels. but the book seems to worry the Vatican . The Catholic church now wants in as this puts them in a tight spot so the Vatican has asked Turkish authorities to let them examine the contents within the church. Now that the book has been found, will they come to accept it and it’s evidence? Or will they deny it all together. Will they call it a Muslim lie as “TRUE” magazine done in 2000? To many this book is a beacon of hope, that believers soon realize that the object of their adoration is arbitrary ; and that ALL text, especially religious text is subject to interpretation. —What does this mean to atheists/agnostic/ secular thinkers? Not much! Is the text real? Fake? Does it matter? Not really, but hopefully this news inspires the religious to ask questions instead of pointing figures or believing anything blindly. Please don’t go poking fun at , or go tossing around the “I told you so’s. The biggest danger of faith is when people believe what they want to believe , defending against any and all evidence! Especially when that evidence revolutionizes their foundation from the ground up. And the bigger danger is the ego trap: rejecting /criticizing others for being unlike you. For centuries the “defenses” of blind faith has driven nations to war, violence, discrimination , slavery and to become the society of automations that we are today, and for just as long as it has been justified with lies…… If you know better, Act like it. Thanks for reading, If you cant love, at least forgive.

262. GREETING TO YOU WAYNE, — AND TO YOU TO, PETE, —

     I DON’T HAVE ANY “EARTH-SHAKING NEWS” TO REPORT, BUT i CAN STILL SAY THAT IT IS GREAT TO BE ALIVE, AND STILL FUNCTIONING AS BEST AS I AM ABLE,

     THE ONLY “COMICAL” THING I CAN TELL YOU IS THIS: CAROL CALLED ME OVER TO SEE A SHORT VIDEO OF A LITTLE PUPPY SITTING ON HIS OWNER’S LAP WHILE THE OWNER WAS PEDALING HIS BICYCLE, AND THE FUNNY PART OF IT WAS, THAT THE PUPPY WAS PEDALING HIS TWO FRONT PAWS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS HIS OWNER WAS DOING. THAT PUPPY WAS PEDALING IN A CIRCULAR MOTION AS IF HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS PUMPING THE BIKE PEDALS. IT WAS SO “CUTE” TO WATCH THAT ACTION IN A VIDEO.

     LATER ON I WILL BE SENDING YOU ANOTHER EMAIL AT YOUR PERSONAL EMAIL ADDRESS, BECAUSE i HAVE A QUESTION OR TWO THAT i WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT, O.K.??

     UNTIL THEN, I WILL SIGN OFF FOR NOW.

     LOVE, CAROL AND FOREST

264. December 26, 1973
     ===============
     On this day in 1973 – The Exorcist – a horror film starring the actress Linda Blair as a girl possessed by an evil spirit, made its debut in theaters. It went on on to earn a reputation as one of the scariest movies in history. The Exorcist was based on William Peter Blatty’s 1971 novel of the same name, about the last sanctioned Catholic exorcism to take place in the United States in the late 1940s. In the film, Blair played Regan, a sweet 12-year-old girl who began suffering bouts of bizarre behavior. When her concerned mother (Ellen Burstyn) contacted a priest, he recommended performing an exorcism. Max Von Sydow and Jason Miller played the two priests who eventually conducted the exorcism at the home where Regan was living in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C.

     Directed by William Friedkin, The Exorcist was a huge box-office success. The film terrified audiences to the point of fainting, in some cases, with scenes in which Regan’s head spins, her body levitates and she vomits green bile. The film was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Picture, both of which it lost to The Sting. The Exorcist spawned the sequels Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977), The Exorcist III (1990), which was written and directed by William Peter Blatty, who won a Best Screenplay Oscar for the original movie in the series; Exorcist: The Beginning (2004), directed by Renny Harlin, and Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2005), helmed by Paul Schrader.

     The Exorcist catapulted Linda Blair, who got her start in show business by acting in commercials as a child, to fame in Hollywood and earned her a Best Supporting Actress nomination (she lost to Tatum O’Neal in Paper Moon). Though she went on to star in a string of made-for-TV films and to reprise her role as Regan in Exorcist II: The Heretic, none of Blair’s later projects achieved the same commercial success as The Exorcist.

     Before The Exorcist made its debut in 1973, Friedkin had already earned accolades in Hollywood for helming 1971’s The French Connection. That film, which starred Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider as New York City police detectives who go after an international heroin-smuggling ring, won five Academy Awards, including Best Director, Best Picture and Best Actor (Hackman). Friedkin, who was born on August 29, 1935, went on to make such movies as 1980’s Cruising, with Al Pacino, 1985’s To Live and Die in L.A., with Willem Dafoe and William Petersen, and 2000’s Rules of Engagement, with Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson. None of these films, however, were as well received as The French Connection or The Exorcist.

265. December 25, 1941
     ===============
     WHITE CHRISTMAS – written by the formidable composer and lyricist Irving Berlin – received
     its world premiere on this day in 1941 on Bing Crosby’s weekly NBC radio program, The Kraft
     Music Hall. It went on to become one of the most commercially successful singles of all time,
     and the top-selling single ever until being surpassed by Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind 1997.”

     “White Christmas” took its first steps toward becoming a bedrock standard in the American
     songbook when Crosby first performed it publicly on Christmas Day, 1941. The song’s success
     couldn’t have surprised Berlin, who despite having already written such songs as “Alexander’s
     Ragtime Band,” “Cheek To Cheek” and “God Bless America,” had raced into his Manhattan office
     in January 1940 and asked his musical secretary to transcribe “The best song I ever wrote…the
     best song anybody ever wrote.” It was nearly two years later, however, that Crosby finally
     premiered the song on live radio, and a year after that that Crosby’s recording of “White
     Christmas” became a smash pop hit.

     Crosby’s October 1942 recording of “White Christmas” received heavy airplay on Armed Forces Radio
     as well as on commercial radio during its first Christmas season, becoming an instant #1 pop hit.
     It also returned to the Hit Parade pop chart in every subsequent Christmas season for the next
     20 years. Unlike other perennial holiday hits, however, “White Christmas” strikes a mood that
     isn’t necessarily jolly. As Jody Rosen, author of the 2002 book White Christmas: The Story of
     an American Song, told National Public Radio, “It’s very melancholy….And I think this really
     makes it stand out amongst kind of chirpy seasonal standards [like] ‘Rudolph the
     Red-Nosed Reindeer’ or ‘Let It Snow.’….I think that’s one of the reasons why
     people keep responding to it, because our feelings over the holiday season
     are ambivalent.”

     This was certainly true of the immigrant Russian Jewish songwriter Irving Berlin.
     Though he did not celebrate Christmas, it was a day that held special meaning to
     Berlin, who had spent each Christmas Day visiting the grave of his late son, Irving
     Berlin, Jr., who died at just 3 weeks old on December 25, 1928. As Jody Rosen has
     suggested about a beloved song of great emotional complexity, “The kind of deep
     secret of [“White Christmas”] may be that it was Berlin responding in some way
     to his melancholy about the death of his son.”

     On this day in 1997, Woody Allen – the 62-year-old (at the time) Academy Award-winning
     writer-director of such movies as Annie Hall, and Hannah and Her Sisters, married 27-year-old
     Soon-Yi Previn – the adopted daughter of his former girlfriend Mia Farrow – in a small ceremony
     in Venice, Italy. When news of the couple’s relationship was first publicly revealed in the media
     in 1992, it sparked a major scandal.

     Woody Allen, who was born Allan Stewart Konigsberg on December 1, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York,
     began his career as a comedy writer, stand-up comic and playwright. Allen followed his first feature
     screenplay, for 1965’s What’s New Pussycat?, with his directorial debut, What’s Up, Tiger Lily?,
     released the next year. He went on to helm such films as Take the Money and Run (1969) and
     Sleeper (1973), in which he co-starred with Diane Keaton, before co-writing and directing his
     first major hit, 1977’s Annie Hall. The film, which featured Allen as the neurotic comedian
     Alvy Singer and Keaton as his kooky love interest, won four Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director,
     Best Screenplay and Best Actress (Keaton).

     Allen went on to earn Best Director and Best Screenplay Oscar nominations for 1978’s Interiors
     and a Best Original Screenplay nod for 1979’s Manhattan, in which he played a divorced comedy
     writer involved with a 17-year-old student (Mariel Hemingway). Some filmgoers later found
     parallels between the film and Allen’s relationship with Soon-Yi Previn.

     During the 1980s, Allen’s films included Broadway Danny Rose (1984), which received Best Director
     and Best Screenplay Oscar nominations; The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), which also garnered a
     Best Screenplay Oscar nomination; Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), which won gold statues for
     Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor (Michael Caine) and Best Actress (Dianne Wiest); and
     Crimes and Misdemeanors, which also earned Best Screenplay and Best Director Oscar
     nominations. In the 1990s, the prolific Allen collected Best Screenplay Oscar nominations for
     Alice (1990), Husbands and Wives (1992), Bullets Over Broadway (1994), Mighty Aphrodite (1995)
     and Deconstructing Harry (1997). Among Allen’s more recent films are 2005’s Match Point, which
     stars Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and also received a Best Screenplay Academy Award nomination, and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008).

     Off screen, Allen has been romantically linked to a series of actresses who have appeared in his films,
     including Louise Lasser, to whom he was married in the late 1960s, and Diane Keaton. During the
     1980s and early 1990s, Allen was involved with Mia Farrow, with whom he adopted two children and
     had one biological child. Before her involvement with Allen, Farrow – whose movie credits include
     Rosemary’s Baby, The Great Gatsby and Allen’s Hannah and Her Sisters – was married to Frank
     Sinatra (1966-1968) and the conductor Andre Previn (1970-1979), with whom she had three biological
     children and three adopted children, including Soon-Yi Previn. Farrow and Allen’s relationship
     broke up after she discovered his involvement with Previn. The actress and director then became
     involved in a highly publicized child-custody battle during which Farrow accused Allen of abusing
     their young daughter. Allen was later cleared of the charges; he and Soon-Yi Previn have two
     daughters together.

     ===============
     On this day in 1888, Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh – while suffering from severe
     depression – cut off the lower part of his left ear with a razor while staying in
     Arles, France. He later documented the event in a painting titled Self-Portrait with
     Bandaged Ear. Today, Van Gogh is regarded as an artistic genius and his
     masterpieces sell for record-breaking prices. However, during his lifetime, he was
     a poster boy for tortured starving artists and sold only one painting.

     Vincent Willem van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in the Netherlands. He had a difficult,
     nervous personality and worked unsuccessfully at an art gallery and then as a preacher among
     poor miners in Belgium. In 1880, he decided to become an artist. His work from this period – the
     most famous of which is The Potato Eaters (1885 )– is dark and somber and reflective of the
     experiences he had among peasants and impoverished miners.

     In 1886, Van Gogh moved to Paris where his younger brother Theo, with whom he was close, lived.
     Theo, an art dealer, supported his brother financially and introduced him to a number of artists,
     including Paul Gauguin, Camille Pisarro and Georges Seurat. Influenced by these and other painters,
     Van Gogh’s own artistic style lightened up and he began using more color.

     In 1888, Van Gogh rented a house in Arles in the south of France, where he hoped to found an
     artists’ colony and be less of a burden to his brother. In Arles, Van Gogh painted vivid scenes
     from the countryside as well as still-lifes, including his famous sunflower series. Gauguin came
     to stay with him in Arles and the two men worked together for almost two months. However,
     tensions developed and on December 23, in a fit of dementia, Van Gogh threatened his friend
     with a knife before turning it on himself and mutilating his ear lobe. Afterward, he allegedly
     wrapped up the ear and gave it to a prostitute at a nearby brothel. Following that incident,
     Van Gogh was hospitalized in Arles and then checked himself into a mental institution in
     Saint-Remy for a year. During his stay in Saint-Remy, he fluctuated between periods of
     madness and intense creativity, in which he produced some of his best and most
     well-known works, including Starry Night and Irises.

     In May 1890, Van Gogh moved to Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris, where
     he continued to be plagued by despair and loneliness. On July 27, 1890,
     he shot himself and died two days later at age 37.

268. Hey all –
     It’s December 29, 2017 – three days before the FULL MOon, three
     days before 2018 – but I digress.

     This here is post number 14,232 near as I can tell.

     HAPPY NEW YEAR, and remember – Christmas is right around the
     corner (two months after the mid-term election) – so Health,
     Wealth, and Peace, and a chicken in every pot. !!! pez

     lol

269. I couldn’t help but wonder how it must feel when the Mentors on the weekly programs have just delivered one of most dramatic and important talks of their life and say” It’s time to open the lines, Let’s hear what our members have to say” , and there is dead silence. For some reason, this joke from PARTING SHOTS, seems to resonate the same feeling. ( Patience?) ” A woman started a job as a school counselor. One day at recess she noticed a girl standing alone on one side of the field while children were playing soccer at the other end. The counselor asked the girl if she was all right. The girl said she was fine. A few minutes later , the counselor saw the girl standing in the same spot, still by herself. She called out “would you like me to be friend?” The girl hesitated , then said “OK.” Feeling she was making progress, the counselor asked, ” Why are you standing all alone?” “Because .” the girl said with great exasperation, ” I’M THE GOALIE !” (Luv you guys!)

270. I can ‘t say that I will be sad to see 2017 end. The year was not with out its challenges, but with a lot of help from my Neo-Think family I survived . It is important to me that my society family was as supportive to me as many of my birthright family. I will forever be grateful for the genuine love they gave me. It’s now my time to become a responsible self leader that can further move our group forward. I am making some solid decisions as to what I can do as an individual to help us reach this goal. One decision I made is to use the Wiki space that is still available to us. One of my Friday Night Essences, which is writing articles that will hopefully be of benefit to our members and will always reflect the organization’s ideals and principles. With every word or stroke let if nothing else a thought or a moment of reflection shine through. They will not always be about the Neo-Tech literature but in some small way be connected to beliefs of our society. I am inviting everyone of you including our hard working mentors to at least drop by and leave us with some words of wisdom. I would like to see this page as a place where we can share our integrations, prove that humor is still alive, and spread the love even when we don’t always agree. Thank you for reading. It would only take a minute of your time to spread some positivity around in this negative A/C world.

     On December 22, 1971, the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association (NBA)
     defeated the Baltimore Bullets 127-120 in Baltimore for their 27th straight victory, breaking
     the previous record for the longest winning streak in professional sports. They had
     previously been tied with baseball’s New York Giants, who won 26 games during the 1916 season.

     Coached by Bill Sharman and led by future Hall of Famers Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and Gail Goodrich, the 1971-72 Lakers began their historic run of victories on November 5, 1971 (also over the Bullets). They set a new NBA record with their 21st win on December 11, beating the Atlanta Hawks 104-95 and surpassing the 20-game winning streak of the Milwaukee Bucks the previous year. As Chamberlain told the press on December 22, “We did our celebrating when we won No. 21. That was the big one.”

     The Lakers extended their winning streak to a total of 33 consecutive games before losing to the Bucks by a score of 104-120 on January 7, 1972. After ending the regular season with a then-record of 69 wins, the Lakers swept the Chicago Bulls to set up a Western division title match against the Bucks and their star center, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Before the series began, LIFE magazine hailed the face-off between Chamberlain and Abdul-Jabbar as the greatest in sports history. Chamberlain came out on top, outplaying Abdul-Jabbar and leading the Lakers to the NBA Finals against the New York Knicks. Los Angeles won the series convincingly, 4-1, giving MVP Chamberlain his first NBA crown with the Lakers.

272. December 21, 1974
     ===============
     Harry Chapin earned a reputation as a politically conscious singer-songwriter who dedicated
     himself, in the years before his untimely death, to various noble causes – including wiping
     out world hunger. Indeed, his greatest legacy may stem more from his charitable
     efforts than from his music itself, but for a brief period in the early 1970s,
     Harry Chapin was a legitimate pop star. On this day in 1974, he earned his one
     and only #1 pop hit when his bittersweet story-song “Cat’s In The Cradle” reached the top
     of the Billboard Hot 100.

     Before turning his attention to music at the relatively advanced age of 29, Harry Chapin pursued a
     career as a film director, earning an Oscar nomination for his 1968 boxing documentary,
     Legendary Champions. In 1971, he recruited a backing band via an ad in The Village
     Voice and recorded his first album. Released in 1972, Heads & Tales included
     what many fans regard as Chapin’s signature song—”Taxi,” a lushly
     produced, six-minute-plus story song about a San Francisco cab driver
     and a long-lost love he picks up as a fare. Despite its length, “Taxi” became a hit,
     reaching #24 on the Billboard pop chart in the spring of 1972. Chapin’s second and third
     albums were nowhere near as successful as his first, and he’d turned his full-time attention
     to writing a Broadway show when his fourth album, Verities & Balderdash, unexpectedly became a
     smash hit on the strength of “Cat’s In The Cradle,” a tale of an absent father and an endless cycle of intergenerational dysfunction based on a poem written by Chapin’s wife.

     “Cat’s In The Cradle” was Chapin’s last big hit, and though he retained a loyal fan base through
     the remainder of the 1970s, his work as a social activist during this period was far more significant
     than his work as a musician. Chapin is widely credited with spurring the creation of the President’s
     Commission on World Hunger in 1977, and he shares indirect responsibility for one of the biggest
     music charity efforts of all time, USA for Africa, which was organized by Chapin’s former manager,
     Ken Kragen. On the occasion of Chapin’s posthumous award of the Congressional Gold Medal in
     1987, Kragen, who also organized Hands Across America, credited Chapin as his inspiration: “All of
     our efforts with hunger and homelessness began with Harry,” he said.

     Born December 7, 1942, in New York City, singer-songwriter Harry Chapin was killed
     in an auto accident on the Long Island Expressway on July 16, 1981.

273. December 20, 1989
     ===============
     On this day in 1989, Roger & Me – a documentary by Michael Moore about his quest to
     interview Roger Smith, who was then chairman and chief executive officer of General
     Motors – opened in theaters. The film examines the devastating impact on the people
     of Moore’s hometown of Flint, Michigan, following the closing of several General
     Motors auto plants in the area. Roger & Me launched Moore’s filmmaking career and
     became the top-grossing documentary in history, a record that would eventually be
     shattered by Moore’s later movies, Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11.

     Moore was born on April 23, 1954, and raised in Flint, where his father was an auto worker.
     After a stint at the University of Michigan at Flint, Moore founded the alternative magazine
     The Michigan Voice and later served briefly as the editor of the liberal publication Mother
     Jones. Following the success of Roger & Me, Moore wrote, directed and hosted an
     investigative newsmagazine show called TV Nation, which aired from 1994 to 1995. He also
     penned and directed a big-screen comedy, Canadian Bacon (1995) about an American
     president who attempts to start a war with Canada to boost his approval ratings. The film,
     which starred John Candy and Alan Alda, was a box-office disappointment. From 1999 to
     2000, Moore starred in another muckraking TV show, The Awful Truth, which focused
     on politicians and big corporations, among others.

     In 2002, Moore’s documentary Bowling for Columbine – about guns and violence in America – was released in theaters. The film examines the 1999 massacre at Colorado’s Columbine High School, in which two students went on a shooting rampage that left 13 people dead and more than 20 others wounded before the pair turned their guns on themselves and committed suicide. Bowling for Columbine, which contains Moore’s trademark dark humor, includes an interview with the then-president of the National Rifle Association (NRA), Hollywood giant Charlton Heston, as well as one scene in which Moore gets a free hunting rifle for opening a bank account and another in which he goes to K-Mart headquarters with two Columbine survivors in an attempt to get a refund for the bullets lodged in their bodies. Bowling for Columbine won the Academy Award for Best Documentary.

     Moore’s next documentary, Fahrenheit 9/11, a critical look at the George W. Bush administration’s war on terrorism and its coverage by the media, opened in theaters in 2004. The film earned the top prize at the Cannes Film Festival and grossed more than $100 million, the first documentary ever to do so. Moore followed up on Fahrenheit 9/11 with Sicko, a documentary about the American health-care industry that premiered in 2007. Sicko also received an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary.

     In addition to his film and TV work, Moore is an outspoken political and social activist as well as the best-selling author of the books Downsize This! (1996), Stupid White Men (2002) and Dude, Where’s My Country? (2003).

274. December 19/ 1998
     ================
     On this day, after nearly 14 hours of debate – the House of Representatives approved two
     articles of impeachment against President Bill Clinton, charging him with lying under oath
     to a federal grand jury and obstructing justice. Clinton, the second president in American
     history to be impeached, vowed to finish his term.

     In November 1995, Clinton began an affair with Monica Lewinsky, a 21-year-old unpaid intern.
     Over the course of a year and a half, the president and Lewinsky had nearly a dozen sexual
     encounters in the White House. In April 1996, Lewinsky was transferred to the Pentagon.
     That summer, she first confided in Pentagon co-worker Linda Tripp about her sexual
     relationship with the president. In 1997, with the relationship over, Tripp began
     secretly to record conversations with Lewinsky, in which Lewinsky gave
     Tripp details about the affair.

     In December, lawyers for Paula Jones, who was suing the president on sexual harassment
     charges, subpoenaed Lewinsky. In January 1998, allegedly under the recommendation of
     the president, Lewinsky filed an affidavit in which she denied ever having had a sexual
     relationship with him. Five days later, Tripp contacted the office of Kenneth Starr, the
     Whitewater independent counsel, to talk about Lewinsky and the tapes she made of
     their conversations. Tripp, wired by FBI agents working with Starr, met with
     Lewinsky again, and on January 16, Lewinsky was taken by FBI agents and U.S.
     attorneys to a hotel room where she was questioned and offered immunity if she
     cooperated with the prosecution. A few days later, the story broke, and Clinton publicly
     denied the allegations, saying, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.”

     In late July, lawyers for Lewinsky and Starr worked out a full-immunity agreement covering
     both Lewinsky and her parents, all of whom Starr had threatened with prosecution. On
     August 6, Lewinsky appeared before the grand jury to begin her testimony, and on
     August 17 President Clinton testified. Contrary to his testimony in the Paula Jones
     sexual-harassment case, President Clinton acknowledged to prosecutors from
     the office of the independent counsel that he had had an extramarital affair
     with Ms. Lewinsky.

     In four hours of closed-door testimony, conducted in the Map Room of the White House,
     Clinton spoke live via closed-circuit television to a grand jury in a nearby federal courthouse.
     He was the first sitting president ever to testify before a grand jury investigating his conduct.
     That evening, President Clinton also gave a four-minute televised address to the nation in
     which he admitted he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky. In the
     brief speech, which was wrought with legalisms, the word “sex” was never spoken, and
     the word “regret” was used only in reference to his admission that he misled the
     public and his family.

     Less than a month later, on September 9, Kenneth Starr submitted his report and 18 boxes of supporting documents to the House of Representatives. Released to the public two days later, the Starr Report outlined a case for impeaching Clinton on 11 grounds, including perjury, obstruction of justice, witness-tampering, and abuse of power, and also provided explicit details of the sexual relationship between the president and Ms. Lewinsky. On October 8, the House authorized a wide-ranging impeachment inquiry, and on December 11, the House Judiciary Committee approved three articles of impeachment. On December 19, the House impeached Clinton.

     On January 7, 1999, in a congressional procedure not seen since the 1868 impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson, the trial of President Clinton got underway in the Senate. As instructed in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (William Rehnquist at this time) was sworn in to preside, and the senators were sworn in as jurors.

     Five weeks later, on February 12, the Senate voted on whether to remove Clinton from office. The president was acquitted on both articles of impeachment. The prosecution needed a two-thirds majority to convict but failed to achieve even a bare majority. Rejecting the first charge of perjury, 45 Democrats and 10 Republicans voted “not guilty,” and on the charge of obstruction of justice the Senate was split 50-50. After the trial concluded, President Clinton said he was “profoundly sorry” for the burden his behavior imposed on Congress and the American people.

275. December 18, 1912
     ===============
     After three years of digging in the Piltdown gravel pit in Sussex, England, amateur
     archaeologist Charles Dawson announced the discovery of two skulls that appear
     to belong to a primitive hominid and ancestor of man, along with a canine tooth,
     a tool carved from an elephant’s tusk, and fossil teeth from a number of prehistoric animals.

     Despite muted criticism from a minority of paleontologists, the majority of the scientific
     community hailed the so-called Piltdown Man as the missing evolutionary link between
     ape and man. The remains were estimated to be up to a million years old. For the next
     decade, scientists heralded the finding of Eoanthropus dawsoni, or “Dawson’s Dawn-man”
     in Latin, as confirmation of Darwin’s still-controversial theory of human evolution.

     In the 1920s and ’30s, however, the Piltdown gravels were found to be much less ancient than
     believed, and other finds of human ancestors around the world seemed to call the authenticity
     of the Piltdown Man into question. In 1953, at an international congress of paleontologists,
     the Piltdown Man was first openly called a fraud. An intensive study of the remains showed
     that they were made up of a modern human cranium – no more than 600 years old; the jaw
     and teeth of an orangutan; and the tooth of a chimpanzee. Microscopic tests indicated that the
     teeth had been doctored with a file-like tool to make them seem more human. Scientists also
     found that the bones had been treated with chemicals to make them appear older. Other
     fossils found in the Piltdown quarry proved to be authentic but of types not found in Britain.

     The person who orchestrated the hoax never came forward, but in 1996 a trunk in storage at the
     British Museum was found to contain fossils treated in the exact same manner as the Piltdown
     remains. The trunk bore the initials M.A.C.H., which seemed to suggest that Martin A.C. Hinton,
     a volunteer at the British Museum in 1912 and later a curator of zoology at the institution, was
     likely the culprit. Some theorized that he was attempting to embarrass Arthur Smith Woodward,
     curator of the British Museum’s paleontology department, because Woodward had refused
     Hinton’s request for a weekly pay raise.

276. December 17, 1843
     ==============
     On this day in 1843, Charles Dickens’ classic story
     “A Christmas Carol” was published.

     Dickens was born in 1812 and attended school in Portsmouth. His father, a clerk in the
     navy pay office, was thrown into debtors’ prison in 1824, and 12-year-old Charles was
     sent to work in a factory. The miserable treatment of children and the institution of
     the debtors’ jail became topics of several of Dickens’ novels.

     In his late teens, Dickens became a reporter and started publishing humorous short stories
     when he was 21. In 1836, a collection of his stories, Sketches by Boz, later known as The
     Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, was published. The same year, he married
     Catherine Hogarth, with whom he would have nine children. The short sketches
     in his collection were originally commissioned as captions for humorous drawings
     by caricature artist Robert Seymour, but Dickens’ whimsical stories about the kindly
     Samuel Pickwick and his fellow club members soon became popular in their own right.
     Only 400 copies were printed of the first installment, but by the 15th episode 40,000 copies
     were printed. When the stories were published in book form in 1837, Dickens quickly became
     the most popular author of the day.

     The success of the Pickwick Papers was soon reproduced with Oliver Twist (1838) and
     Nicholas Nickleby (1839). In 1841, Dickens published two more novels, then spent five
     months in the United States, where he was welcomed as a literary hero. Dickens never
     lost momentum as a writer, churning out major novels every year or two, often in serial
     form. Among his most important works are David Copperfield(1850), Great Expectations (1861),
     and A Tale of Two Cities (1859).

     Beginning in 1850, he published his own weekly circular of fiction, poetry, and essays called
     Household Words. In 1858, Dickens separated from his wife and began a long affair with a
     young actress. He gave frequent readings, which became immensely popular. He died in
     1870 at the age of 58, with his last novel, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, still unfinished.

277. December 16, 1973
     ===============
     On December 16, 1973, the Buffalo Bills running back Orenthal
     James “OJ” Simpson became the first player in the National
     Football League (NFL) to rush for more than 2,000 yards
     in a single season.

     After leading the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans to a Rose Bowl victory and winning the Heisman Trophy, Simpson was drafted by Buffalo as the first pick in the 1969 NFL draft. He struggled for several seasons on weak Buffalo teams but first rushed for more than 1,000 yards in 1972, ending the season with a league-leading 1,251. The following year, he totaled 219 rushing yards against the New England Patriots in the next-to-last game of the season, putting his total at 1,803. On December 16, with the Bills facing the New York Jets in New York’s Shea Stadium, Simpson rushed for another 200 yards, for a record-setting total of 2,003.

     Simpson had another banner year in 1975, with 1,817 yards rushing, 426 yards on receptions and a then-record 23 touchdowns. All told, he led the league in rushing four times (1972, 1973, 1975 and 1976) during his eight years with Buffalo, and was named NFL Player of the Year in 1972, 1973 and 1975. Plagued by injuries, Simpson was limited to seven games in 1977 and the following year was traded to the San Francisco 49ers. He played only two more seasons in the NFL, gaining a total of just 1,053 yards and averaging less than four yards per carry.

     After retiring, Simpson acted and worked as a sportscaster. Though some view him as the greatest football player ever to play the game, he will unfortunately be remembered primarily for something quite different: In June 1994, Simpson was charged with the brutal murder of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. After a sensational and divisive criminal trial, he was acquitted in October 1995, but was later found liable for the deaths in a civil trial and ordered to pay $33.5 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

279. 12/19/17: Fellow Neo-Thinkers. Hello. For this participant, I have come to the end and seen the sad demise of an otherwise great venue where fellow Neo-Thinkers once came to a place that gave great pleasure to them selves and others. It was a warm and cozy place where many great integrations flowed, and many friendships were formed along the way that otherwise would never came to surface. Not in any way am I taking credit from Charlie Moore for his efforts to bring about the current reach out program with it’s invaluable information. however the Wikipedia originally share many of the same attributes. Much has been done to promote the Peoplepedia page but I know personally we have highly conscious and integrated members who are unwilling to submit themselves to that kind of public scrutiny. I have been searching for a route with which to take where I felt free to voice my thoughts, the kind that could be beneficial to myself and others who are wanting to reach beyond the 3rd dimension and to travel to the 4th before mankind and time runs out in this Anti-Civilization we are so embedded in today. Another option we have on a web site is entitled “Health and Wellness” however it appears to this member that the site is mostly used to advertise various health products, and until I see those same people posting as many worthy integrations rather than using it for profit and gain, I will refrain from using it. So that leaves us with “Deliberate Creators ” but as of yet not felt that comfortable and a bit guilty using that much space for longer posts that I believe could at least be food for thought if nothing else. I am going leave on this story below that I did do some research on and was completely fascinated even it is about a subject we have known about all along.
     “Science proves time and time again our MINDS can heal our bodies.”
     Our minds can do a lot more than we give them credit for. There is however a lot more to treating ourselves with our mind than you think. When it comes to healing our minds can be powerful tools. Before we get into this, I would like to go over the “Placebo Effect”. The placebo effect is the idea that your brain can convince your body that a fake treatment is a real treatment. Your mind tricks your body into healing itself. While the placebo itself is not shrinking your tumors or something else of the sort, your mind believes it is, your brain is working with your body to fix you. Now the thing is with the placebo effect is that most people think it will only work if you don’t know you are not getting the placebo , but that has been proven not to be the case. A study in 2014 led by Kuptchek and published in Science transitional medicine actually explored this by testing how 3 groups , one group got something with the drug name labeled, another got something with a label that simply said placebo, and the 3rd group had no label. The researchers found that somehow this placebo was still about 50 % as effective as the real drug when it came to reducing headaches etc., this meaning that even when you are aware you getting the placebo positive things can happen. That being said, you don’t have to take a placebo to practice self help– You can use meditation , healthy eating and exercise as your own personal placebo. There are over 3500 case studies about the medical literature patients who out of nowhere got better from illnesses that were going to bring them to the end of their lives. Everything , even cancer was just gone. With numbers like this, it is clear this is not something as rare as science makes it out to be. (NOTE, I checked out some of those stories and they are frightening and unbelievable. Such as a man was given distilled water and told it was a miracle cure for cancer and within 2 days his cancer was gone, but 2 years later he accidently found he was given plain distilled water, and he died 2 days later. Another story of triplets in the deep South, whose parents were told by a mid-wife that they were cursed at birth, that one would die at age 15, the next at 21, and the 3rd at age 23, and sure enough, but the 3rd was saved. etc. ) Dr. Lissa Rankin who has written books on this subject stresses that mainstream medicine does not and can not represent the Universe of potentially valuable treatment protocols or modalities She believes that the state of our own minds, emotions, and so forth play a role in things as well and have the ability to turn on or off our body’s ability to heal itself. There are many takes you can have on this sort of thing but the ultimate realization is that our minds can heal us one way or another. That’s the conclusion of this article. Wouldn’t it be a dirty trick if we could all call on this power and bring the reign of Big Pharma to an end. Perhaps in a new dimension we will. So, in closing , and in that same vein of thought , Dr. Bruce Lipton Quote.
     “The moment you change your perception , is the moment you re-write the chemistry of your body.” (I would be overjoyed if anyone let me know they read this post, Thanks.

     General James Doolittle of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) -hero of the daring “Doolittle Raid” on mainland Japan and later the unified commander of Allied air forces in Europe in World War II – offered the following high praise to one of his staff officers in 1944: “Next to a letter from home, Captain Miller, your organization is the greatest morale builder in the European Theater of Operations.” The Captain Miller in question was the trombonist and bandleader Glenn Miller, the biggest star on the American pop-music scene in the years immediately preceding World War II and a man who set aside his brilliant career right at its peak in 1942 to serve his country as leader of the USAAF dance band. It was in that capacity that Captain Glenn Miller boarded a single-engine aircraft at an airfield outside of London on December 15, 1944 — an aircraft that would go missing over the English Channel en route to France for a congratulatory performance for American troops that had recently helped to liberate Paris.

     It would be difficult to overstate the magnitude of Glenn Miller’s success in the years immediately proceeding America’s entry into World War II. Though he was a relatively unspectacular instrumentalist himself — he’d played the trombone in various prominent orchestras but never distinguished himself as a performer — Miller the bandleader came to dominate the latter portion of the swing era on the strength of his disciplined arrangements and an innovation in orchestration that put the high-pitched clarinet on the melody line doubled by the saxophone section an octave below. This trademark sound helped the Glenn Miller Orchestra earn an unprecedented string of popular hits from 1939 to 1942, including the iconic versions of numbers like “In The Mood” (1939), “Tuxedo Junction” (1939) and “Chattanooga Choo Choo” (1941), as well as Miller’s self-penned signature tune, “Moonlight Serenade” (1939).

     The Glenn Miller Orchestra played its last-ever concert under Miller’s direction on September 27, 1942, in Passaic, New Jersey, and shortly thereafter, Miller entered the Army. After nearly two years spent stateside broadcasting a weekly radio program called I Sustain The Wings out of New York City, Miller formed a new 50-piece USAAF dance band and departed for England in the summer of 1944, giving hundreds of performances to Allied troops over the next six months before embarking on his fateful trip to France on this day in 1944.

     The wreckage of Miller’s plane was never found.
     His official military status remains Missing in Action.

     On this day, German physicist Max Planck published his groundbreaking
     study of the effect of radiation on a “blackbody” substance, and the
     quantum theory of modern physics was born.

     Through physical experiments, Planck demonstrated that energy, in certain situations, can
     exhibit characteristics of physical matter. According to theories of classical physics, energy
     is solely a continuous wave-like phenomenon, independent of the characteristics of physical
     matter. Planck’s theory held that radiant energy is made up of particle-like components,
     known as “quantum.” The theory helped to resolve previously unexplained natural
     phenomena such as the behavior of heat in solids and the nature of light absorption on an
     atomic level. In 1918, Planck was rewarded the Nobel Prize in physics for his work on
     blackbody radiation.

     Other scientists, such as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Louis de Broglie, Erwin Schrodinger,
     and Paul M. Dirac, advanced Planck’s theory and made possible the development of
     quantum mechanics – a mathematical application of the quantum theory that maintains
     that energy is both matter and a wave, depending on certain variables. Quantum
     mechanics thus takes a probabilistic view of nature, sharply contrasting with classical
     mechanics, in which all precise properties of objects are, in principle, calculable. Today,
     the combination of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity is the basis
     of modern physics.

     There are pop stars who make a career out of changing their musical style and esthetic appearance every year or two, and then there is Kenny Rogers – the gravel-voiced country star with the impeccably groomed gray hair and beard who found a sound and a look that worked like a charm and never departed from either across decades in the public eye. But even Kenny Rogers took a while to find the right formula. After beginning his musical career in R&B in the late 1950s, he shifted first to folk with the New Christy Minstrels and then to rock with The First Edition over the course of the 1960s and early 1970s. Finally, Kenny Rogers went solo and made the decisive move to country music, and that’s when he hit pay dirt. Just four years after earning his first country #1 hit with “Lucille” (1976), and with his formerly long brown hair and beard now fully gray, he released the album Kenny Rogers’ Greatest Hits, which soared all the way to the top of the Billboard 200 pop album chart on this day in 1980, marking Kenny’s arrival as a crossover superstar.

     By 1980, Kenny Rogers already had seven #1 country singles under his belt, including “Lucille,” “The Gambler” (1978) and “Coward Of The County” (1979). All three of those songs, as well as “Don’t Fall In Love With A Dreamer,” his 1980 duet with Kim Carnes, had also reached the top 10 on the Billboard pop charts, but it was a brand-new song on Kenny Rogers’ Greatest Hits that would help propel that album to 12-times Platinum status and give Rogers his only solo #1 pop hit: the Lionel Richie-penned “Lady.” (A simultaneous country chart-topper, “Lady” also gave Richie, the former Commodores frontman, his only share of a country #1.)

     For several years following the success of his Greatest Hits album, Kenny Rogers remained a hot item on both the pop and country charts, his biggest crossover hits coming with two 1983 duets written by prominent songwriters: “We’ve Got Tonight,” written by Bob Seger and performed with Sheena Easton (#1 Country, #6 Pop); and “Islands In The Stream,” written by Barry Gibb and performed with Dolly Parton (#1 Country, Pop and Adult Contemporary). And while Rogers would cease to be a factor on the pop charts after 1984, he would go on to earn five further country #1 hits: “Crazy” (a 1985 cover of the Willie Nelson-penned classic); “Morning Desire” and “Tomb Of The Unknown Love” (both 1987); “Make No Mistake, She’s Mine” (1987, with Ronnie Milsap); and “Buy Me A Rose” (1999, with Alison Kraus and Billy Dean).

     On this day in 1925, Dick Van Dyke – the quintessential “nice guy” actor who would become known for his performances in such movie classics as Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, as well as the popular 1960s TV sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show – wis born in West Plains, Missouri.

     Van Dyke, who was raised in Danville, Illinois, served in the military during World War II and in the 1950s took various acting jobs and hosted a series of TV game shows. In 1960, he starred on Broadway in Bye Bye Birdie, a role which earned him a Tony Award. The following year, he signed on to play comedy writer Rob Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show. The show was the brainchild of the writer-director-producer Carl Reiner, who reportedly based the sitcom on his own experiences working as a comedy writer for Sid Caesar. The Dick Van Dyke Show featured a strong ensemble cast that included Mary Tyler Moore as Rob’s wife Laura, Morey Amsterdam and Rose Marie as Rob’s colleagues Buddy and Sally and Larry Matthews as the Petries’ son, Ritchie. In the show’s opening credits, Van Dyke was famously seen tripping over an ottoman in the family’s home in New Rochelle, New York, where, in keeping with the conservative broadcasting standards of the time, Rob and Laura Petrie slept in separate beds. After The Dick Van Dyke Show went off the air in 1966, Mary Tyler Moore starred in her own successful TV sitcom, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which originally aired from 1970 to 1977.

     In addition to his TV success in the 1960s, Van Dyke appeared in a string of movies, including the 1963 big-screen adaptation of Bye Bye Birdie, which co-starred Ann-Margret and Janet Leigh. The following year, he appeared as the charming chimney sweep Bert in Walt Disney’s movie musical Mary Poppins, which featured Julie Andrews, in her feature film debut, as the umbrella-toting super nanny. The film, now a beloved cinematic classic, earned 13 Academy Award nominations and took home five Oscars, including Best Actress for Andrews. Though Van Dyke received positive reviews for his singing and dancing, critics skewered him for his bad English accent. In 1968, Van Dyke had another hit movie musical with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, in which he plays the eccentric inventor Caratacus Potts, who develops a magic car. The film’s screenplay was co-written by Roald Dahl, the best-selling author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

     From 1971 to 1974, Van Dyke starred in The New Dick Van Dyke Show, playing a Phoenix TV talk show host. The actor, who in the 1970s went public with his struggle with alcoholism, was featured in a series of made-for-TV movies and did guest appearances on various TV shows before he was cast in another successful series, the medical crime drama Diagnosis Murder. The show, which originally aired from 1993 to 2001, also featured Van Dyke’s son Barry Van Dyke.

     After half a century in show business, Van Dyke continues to act. Among his recent
     movie credits are Curious George (2006) and Night at the Museum (2007).

     ===============
     On this day in 1980, American oil tycoon Armand Hammer paid $5,126,000 at auction
     for a notebook containing writings by the legendary artist Leonardo da Vinci.

     The manuscript, written around 1508, was one of some 30 similar books da Vinci produced during his lifetime on a variety of subjects. It contained 72 loose pages featuring some 300 notes and detailed drawings, all relating to the common theme of water and how it moved. Experts have said that da Vinci drew on it to paint the background of his masterwork, the Mona Lisa. The text, written in brown ink and chalk, read from right to left, an example of da Vinci’s favored mirror-writing technique. The painter Giuseppi Ghezzi discovered the notebook in 1690 in a chest of papers belonging to Guglielmo della Porto, a 16th-century Milanese sculptor who had studied Leonardo’s work. In 1717, Thomas Coke, the first earl of Leicester, bought the manuscript and installed it among his impressive collection of art at his family estate in England.

     More than two centuries later, the notebook – by now known as the Leicester Codex – showed up on the auction block at Christie’s in London when the current Lord Coke was forced to sell it to cover inheritance taxes on the estate and art collection. In the days before the sale, art experts and the press speculated that the notebook would go for $7 to $20 million. In fact, the bidding started at $1.4 million and lasted less than two minutes, as Hammer and at least two or three other bidders competed to raise the price $100,000 at a time. The $5.12 million price tag was the highest ever paid for a manuscript at that time; a copy of the legendary Gutenberg Bible had gone for only $2 million in 1978. “I’m very happy with the price. I expected to pay more,” Hammer said later. “There is no work of art in the world I wanted more than this.” Lord Coke, on the other hand, was only “reasonably happy” with the sale; he claimed the proceeds would not be sufficient to cover the taxes he owed.

     Hammer, the president of Occidental Petroleum Corporation, renamed his prize the Hammer Codex and added it to his valuable collection of art. When Hammer died in 1990, he left the notebook and other works to the Armand Hammer Museum of Art and Cultural Center at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Several years later, the museum offered the manuscript for sale, claiming it was forced to take this action to cover legal costs incurred when the niece and sole heir of Hammer’s late wife, Frances, sued the estate claiming Hammer had cheated Frances out of her rightful share of his fortune. On November 11, 1994, the Hammer Codex was sold to an anonymous bidder – soon identified as Bill Gates, the billionaire founder of Microsoft – at a New York auction for a new record high price of $30.8 million. Gates restored the title of Leicester Codex and has since loaned the manuscript to a number of museums for public display.

     ===============
     On this day in 1967, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner – a groundbreaking movie
     about an interracial romantic relationship starring Katharine Hepburn, Spencer
     Tracy, Sidney Poitier and Katharine Houghton – opened in theaters.

     Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner followed the story of a young white woman (Houghton) who brings her fiance (Poitier), an African-American doctor, home to meet her parents, played by Hepburn and Tracy in their last film together. (Off-screen, the couple had a long romance, although Tracy was married to another woman. He died on June 10, 1967, a short time after the movie wrapped.) Directed by Stanley Kramer, who was known for his “message” films – including Inherit the Wind (about the Scopes “monkey” trial) and Judgment at Nuremberg (about Nazi crimes during World War II) – Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner examines the reactions of the young couple’s various family members and friends to their relationship. Until the landmark 1967 civil-rights case Loving vs. Virginia, which was decided just five months before Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner was released, marriage between blacks and whites was still illegal in parts of America, and Kramer’s film was notable for its willingness to tackle this taboo topic. Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and collected two Oscars, including Best Actress for Hepburn, the second of her career.

     Hepburn (1907-2003) won four Academy Awards (out of 12 total nominations) over the course of her long career, more than any other actress. She collected her first Best Actress Oscar for 1933’s Morning Glory, with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and went on to earn Best Actress Oscar nominations for Alice Adams (1935), The Philadelphia Story (1940), Woman of the Year (1942), which marked her first movie with Spencer Tracy, The African Queen (1951), Summertime (1955), The Rainmaker (1956), Suddenly, Last Summer (1959) and Long Day’s Journey Into Night (1962). The legendary screen star followed her Oscar win for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner with Best Actress golden statues for The Lion in Winter (1968) and On Golden Pond (1981). Her final feature film was 1994’s Love Affair, with Warren Beatty and Annette Bening.

     Sidney Poitier, born on February 27, 1927, earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for 1958’s The Defiant Ones, directed by Stanley Kramer and co-starring Tony Curtis and Theodore Bikel. For his performance as a handyman who builds a chapel for a group of German nuns in 1963’s Lilies of the Field, he became the first black man ever to win an Academy Award for Best Actor. Among Poitier’s other well-known films are To Sir, With Love (1967) and In the Heat of the Night (1967).

     Spencer Tracy (1900-1967) took home his first Best Actor Oscar for 1937’s Captains Courageous, having been previously nominated in the category for 1936’s San Francisco. He won again for 1938’s Boys Town and went on to earn nominations for Father of the Bride (1950), Bad Day at Black Rock (1955), The Old Man and the Sea (1958), Inherit the Wind (1960) and Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). Tracy received his ninth and final Best Actor Oscar nomination for Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.

     ==============
     On December 11, 1964, in response to a reported shooting, officers of the Los Angeles
     Police Department were dispatched to the Hacienda Motel, where they found Sam
     Cooke dead on the office floor – shot three times in the chest by the motel’s manager,
     Bertha Franklin. The authorities ruled Cooke’s death a case of justifiable homicide,
     based on the testimony of Ms. Franklin, who claimed that Cooke had threatened her
     life after attempting to rape a young woman with whom he had earlier checked in.

     Even as the lurid details of the case were becoming common knowledge, some 200,000 fans turned out in the streets of Los Angeles and Chicago to mourn the passing of Sam Cooke, a man whose legacy seemed able to transcend the scandal surrounding his death. That legacy was built during a brief but spectacular run as a singer, songwriter, producer and music publisher in the 1950s and early 1960s.

     Born in 1931 to a Baptist minister and his wife, Cooke’s early musical development took place in the church. Like other early figures in what would eventually be called “soul” music, Cooke began his professional career singing gospel. A member of the legendary Soul Stirrers since the age of 19, Cooke was given permission by his record label to begin recording secular music in 1956.

     “You Send Me” (1957) was Sam Cooke’s first pop smash, and it was followed by such classics as “Chain Gang” (1960), “Cupid” (1961), “Twistin’ the Night Away” (1962) and the Dylan-inspired posthumous release that became an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement: “A Change Is Gonna Come” (1964). His voice has been called the most important in the history of soul music, but just as important to Sam Cooke’s historical standing is the fact that he also wrote all of the aforementioned hits—a remarkable fact for any popular singer of his time.

     In the years since his death, the circumstances surrounding Cooke’s shooting have
     been called into question by his family and others. Though the truth of what
     happened on this day in 1964 might remain uncertain, Sam Cooke’s place
     in the history of popular music is anything but.

     On this day in 1830, Emily Dickinson was
     born in Amherst, Massachusetts.

     Dickinson was a witty and popular student at Amherst Academy and at Mt. Holyoke but was viewed as somewhat unconventional. She made a few trips to Philadelphia and Boston but rarely left Amherst. She preferred her home, where her stern lawyer father, invalid mother, spinster sister, and domineering brother created a colorful, if oppressive, family life. In 1858, Dickinson began collecting the many short poems she wrote into small, hand-sewn books. In 1862, she wrote an editor at the Atlantic Monthly, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, to evaluate her work. He felt her work wasn’t yet ready to publish but became her mentor, and the two corresponded for many years.

     Dickinson had only one romance that is known about today, with Judge Otis Lord. Although it looked like the two would marry, the romance ended. Dickinson was increasingly reluctant to leave the house after 1862 and would often decline even to see visitors. Although she wrote 1,775 poems, only seven were published in her lifetime. All were deceptively simple, endless variations on the same pattern. Dickinson died at the age of 56.

     In 1890, thanks to her sister’s efforts, Poems by Emily Dickinson was
     published, followed by more volumes over the next 60 years. In 1955,
     The Complete Works of Emily Dickinson was published.

     On this day, a plane crash in Madison, Wisconsin, killed singer Otis Redding and
     members of his band — The Bar-Kays. The plane crashed into Lake Monona,
     several miles from the Madison airport.

     One survivor, Ben Cauley of the Bar-Kays, later reported that he had been asleep until just
     before the crash. He saw his friend in the band, Phalon Jones, look out the window of the
     small plane and exclaim “Oh no!” and, before he knew it, he was in a frigid lake holding
     onto a seat cushion. The following day, the lake was dragged and the bodies of the
     victims were recovered. A storm in Madison that day was a factor in the crash
     but the exact cause was never determined.

     Redding was not the only well-known singer to die in a plane crash. In 1959, Buddy Holly, along with the lesser known J.P. “Big Bopper” Richardson and Ritchie Valens, were killed in a crash that is thought to have inspired Don McLean’s well-known song “American Pie.” Country singer Patsy Cline died in a 1963 crash. Ten years later, Jim Croce perished in one in Louisiana. Key members of the band Lynyrd Skynyrd died in an accident 1977. Singer John Denver was killed piloting his own plane in 1997.

     Four months after his death at the age of 26, Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ on the) Dock of the Bay,” the
     last song he ever recorded, reached the top spot on the pop music charts. It was his first No. 1 hit.

289. Because of pure honesty and widescope accountability, right and left brian thanking ,Dr. Wallace was able to come up with the unifying component or force never recognized by Einstein, Consciousness , the supreme component of existence that controls the dynamics of nature mass and energy, to forever preserve and evolve conscious life. Human like volitional consciousness is the eternal component that has existed and controlled existence, not for trillion of years,but forever. Dr. Wallace go on to say consciousness can and does unpredictably alter the dynamics of nature every moment, throughout the universe. Yet from the widest perspective, consciousness bring the most elegant order and predictability to the universe. All past attempts to link consciousness with existence were based on mystical, “higher forms of consciousness.” Such irrational, ethereal linkage always originated as dishonest, unfounded assertions by mystics or neocheaters conjuring up religious and political power But the Neo-Tech discovery of human-like consciousness as the unifying element of existence can be scientifically established not only with theory but with direct observation and experimental proof. Understanding the conscious mind as the controlling unifying element of existence first requires understanding the unchanging nature of consciousness and existence versus the changing nature of matter and energy. Thank to Dr. Wallace and his Mark Hamilton.

     ==============
     Nothing in her professional credentials suggested the Australian pop singer Helen Reddy would
     become a feminist icon prior to 1972. She’d made her way to the United States from her native
     Australia on her own to pursue stardom, and she’d paid her dues working on the periphery of
     the music business for a number of years before making a breakthrough. Yet when that
     breakthrough came, it was in the form of a 1971 cover version of “I Don’t Know How To Love
     Him” from Jesus Christ Superstar — hardly a song about women’s liberation. But a feminist
     icon is exactly what Helen Reddy would become the very next year, when the anthem-to-be
     “I Am Woman” charged up the pop charts, reaching the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 on
     this day in 1972.

     With lyrics that could have been lifted straight from the pages of the recently launched Ms. magazine,
     “I Am Woman” took the message of personal empowerment being espoused by the second-wave
     feminists of the early 1970s and put it out where it could do some real consciousness-raising — on the
     same AM airwaves that had been sending out very different messages about gender relations for many
     years. For a generation of American women raised on songs like “Johnny Angel,” “It’s My Party” and
     “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “I Am Woman” represented something almost entirely new in
     mainstream pop: A song about female identity that made virtually no reference to men.

     Helen Reddy wrote the lyrics to “I Am Woman” out of frustration. “I was looking for songs that
     reflected the positive sense of self that I felt I’d gained from the women’s movement,” she told
     Billboard magazine, “but I couldn’t find any.” True to the message of the hit song she would
     eventually write, “I realized that the song I was looking for didn’t exist, and I was going to
     have to write it myself.”

     Released as a single in the spring of 1972, “I Am Woman” initially sputtered in its attempt to gain
     a foothold on the pop charts. It had fallen completely off the charts by late that summer, in fact,
     before re-entering the Hot 100 in September and beginning a steady climb upward thanks to
     Reddy’s frequent appearances on television that fall and to the volume of call-in radio requests
     those appearances generated — mainly from women.

     Helen Reddy would have two further #1 hits in the 1970s with
     “Delta Dawn” and “Angie Baby,” but “I Am Woman”—the only hit
     song that Reddy penned herself — remains her signature achievement.

     In Indianapolis, a retired Boston candy manufacturer named Robert H.W. Welch, Jr. established
     the John Birch Society – a right-wing organization dedicated to fighting what it perceives to
     be the extensive infiltration of communism into American society. Welch named the society
     in honor of John Birch, considered by many to be the first American casualty in the struggle
     against communism. In 1945, Birch, a Baptist missionary and U.S. Army intelligence specialist,
     was killed by Chinese communists in the northern province of Anhwei.

     The John Birch Society, initially founded with only 11 members, had by the early 1960s grown
     to a membership of nearly 100,000 Americans and received annual private contributions of
     several million dollars. The society revived the spirit of McCarthyism, claiming in
     unsubstantiated accusations that a vast communist conspiracy existed
     within the U.S. government. Among others, the organization implicated President
     Dwight D. Eisenhower and Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. However, after the
     debacle of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s public hearings in the early 1950s, America became
     more wary of radical anti-communism, and few of the society’s sensational charges were taken
     seriously by mainstream American society. The John Birch Society remains active today, and its
     members seek “to expose a semi-secret international cabal whose members sit in the highest places
     of influence and power worldwide.”

292. December 8, 1980
     ==============
     John Lennon, a former member of the Beatles, – the rock group that transformed popular
     music in the 1960s – was shot and killed by an obsessed fan in New York City. The
     40-year-old artist was entering his luxury Manhattan apartment building
     when Mark David Chapman shot him four times at close range with a .38-caliber
     revolver. Lennon, bleeding profusely, was rushed to the hospital but died en route.
     Chapman had received an autograph from Lennon earlier in the day and voluntarily
     remained at the scene of the shooting until he was arrested by police. For a week, hundreds
     of bereaved fans kept a vigil outside the Dakota–Lennon’s apartment building and demonstrations
     of mourning were held around the world.

     John Lennon was one half of the singing-songwriting team that made the Beatles the most
     popular musical group of the 20th century. The other band leader was Paul McCartney, but
     the rest of the quartet – George Harrison and Ringo Starr – sometimes penned and sang
     their own songs as well. Hailing from Liverpool, England, and influenced by early American
     rock and roll and blues, the Beatles took Britain by storm in 1963 with the single “Please
     Please Me.” “Beatlemania” spread to the United States in 1964 with the release of “I Want to
     Hold Your Hand,” followed by a sensational U.S. tour. With youth poised to break away from
     the culturally rigid landscape of the 1950s, the Fab Four with their exuberant music and
     good-natured rebellion were the perfect catalyst for the shift.

     The Beatles sold millions of records and starred in hit movies such as A Hard Day’s Night (1964).
     Their live performances were near riots, with teenage girls screaming and fainting as their
     boyfriends nodded along to the catchy pop songs. In 1966, the Beatles gave up touring to
     concentrate on their innovative studio recordings, such as 1967’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely
     Heart’s Club Band, a psychedelic concept album that is regarded as a masterpiece of
     popular music. The Beatles’ music remained relevant to youth throughout the great
     cultural shifts of the 1960s, and critics of all ages acknowledged the songwriting
     genius of the Lennon-McCartney team.

     Lennon was considered the intellectual Beatle and certainly was the most outspoken of the four.
     He caused a major controversy in 1966 when he declared that the Beatles were “more popular
     than Jesus,” prompting mass burnings of Beatles’ records in the American Bible Belt. He later
     became an anti-war activist and flirted with communism in the lyrics of solo hits like
     “Imagine,” recorded after the Beatles disbanded in 1970. In 1975, Lennon dropped
     out of the music business to spend more time with his Japanese-born wife, Yoko
     Ono, and their son, Sean. In 1980, he made a comeback with Double-Fantasy,
     a critically acclaimed album that celebrated his love for Yoko and featured
     songs written by her.

     On December 8, 1980, their peaceful domestic life on New York’s Upper West Side was shattered
     by 25-year-old Mark David Chapman. Psychiatrists deemed Chapman a borderline psychotic.
     He was instructed to plead insanity, but instead he pleaded guilty to murder. He was sentenced to
     20 years to life. In 2000, New York State prison officials denied Chapman a parole hearing, telling
     him that his “vicious and violent act was apparently fueled by your need to be acknowledged.”
     He remains behind bars at Attica Prison in New York State.

     John Lennon is memorialized in “Strawberry Fields,” a section of Central Park across the
     street from the Dakota that Yoko Ono landscaped in honor of her husband.

293. December 7. 1941
     ==============
     At 7:55 a.m. Hawaii time, a Japanese dive bomber bearing the red symbol of the
     Rising Sun of Japan on its wings appeard out of the clouds above the island of Oahu.
     A swarm of 360 Japanese warplanes followed, descending on the U.S. naval base
     at Pearl Harbor in a ferocious assault. The surprise attack struck a critical blow
     against the U.S. Pacific fleet and drew the United States irrevocably into World War II.

     With diplomatic negotiations with Japan breaking down, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his advisers knew that an imminent Japanese attack was probable, but nothing had been done to increase security at the important naval base at Pearl Harbor. It was Sunday morning, and many military personnel had been given passes to attend religious services off base. At 7:02 a.m., two radar operators spotted large groups of aircraft in flight toward the island from the north, but, with a flight of B-17s expected from the United States at the time, they were told to sound no alarm. Thus, the Japanese air assault came as a devastating surprise to the naval base.

     Much of the Pacific fleet was rendered useless: Five of eight battleships, three destroyers, and seven other ships were sunk or severely damaged, and more than 200 aircraft were destroyed. A total of 2,400 Americans were killed and 1,200 were wounded, many while valiantly attempting to repulse the attack. Japan’s losses were some 30 planes, five midget submarines, and fewer than 100 men. Fortunately for the United States, all three Pacific fleet carriers were out at sea on training maneuvers. These giant aircraft carriers would have their revenge against Japan six months later at the Battle of Midway, reversing the tide against the previously invincible Japanese navy in a spectacular victory.

     The day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, President Roosevelt appeared before a joint session of Congress and declared, “Yesterday, December 7, 1941–a date which will live in infamy–the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.” After a brief and forceful speech, he asked Congress to approve a resolution recognizing the state of war between the United States and Japan. The Senate voted for war against Japan by 82 to 0, and the House of Representatives approved the resolution by a vote of 388 to 1. The sole dissenter was Representative Jeannette Rankin of Montana, a devout pacifist who had also cast a dissenting vote against the U.S. entrance into World War I. Three days later, Germany and Italy declared war against the United States, and the U.S. government responded in kind.

     The American contribution to the successful Allied war effort spanned
     four long years and cost more than 400,000 American lives.

294. December 6, 1992
     ==============
     On this day in 1992, Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers caught
     his 101st career touchdown reception, breaking the record for
     most career touchdowns previously held by Steve Largent.

     Drafted in 1985 out of Mississippi Valley State University, Rice became a star wide receiver for the 49ers, a team that would dominate professional football throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was voted the National Football League’s Most Valuable Player after the players’-strike-shortened 1987 season, when he led the league in scoring (138 points) and set league records for touchdown receptions (23) and touchdown catches in consecutive games (13). Rice’s primary goal, however, was getting his team to the Super Bowl, which he did the following year. Catching 11 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown, Rice led the 49ers to a 20-16 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and was named MVP of Super Bowl XXIII. Teaming with the 49ers’ star quarterback Joe Montana, Rice collected another Super Bowl ring the following year after a lopsided 55-10 victory over the Denver Broncos.

     Rice’s record-breaking 101st career touchdown catch came on a rainy afternoon in San Francisco, during only his eighth season with the NFL. (By contrast, Largent made his 100th TD reception in his 14th season.) With 8:56 left in the game (a 27-3 rout of the Miami Dolphins) Rice made a quick move to get open in the middle of the end zone, where he caught a 12-yard pass from Steve Young. Mobbed by his teammates, he ran off the field in triumph. Two years later, Rice became the NFL’s all-time touchdown leader (127), passing the great Cleveland Browns running back Jim Brown.

     In Super Bowl XXIV, against the San Diego Chargers, Rice strained his shoulder in the first quarter but still caught 10 passes, three for touchdowns, in the 49ers’ 49-26 victory. Plagued by knee injuries, Rice slowed his record-breaking pace a little, but not completely, in the latter half of the 1990s. He left the 49ers in 2000 to sign with the Oakland Raiders, a team he helped lead to Super Bowl XXXVII in the 2002-03 season. In September 2004, Rice’s incredible streak of consecutive games with a reception ended at 274, a number that confirmed his reputation as the most prolific pass receiver in NFL history. He was subsequently traded to the Seattle Seahawks, for whom he scored his last three touchdown receptions, for a total of 197. Seattle refused to give Rice a starting role, however, and he left the team to sign with the Denver Broncos in 2005. When they offered him a reserve position, Rice made the decision to retire after a 20-year career in pro football.

295. December 6, 1884
     ==============
     On this day in 1884, in Washington, D.C. – workers placed a nine-inch aluminum pyramid
     atop a tower of white marble, completing the construction of an impressive monument
     to the city’s namesake and the nation’s first president, George Washington. As early as
     1783, the infant U.S. Congress decided that a statue of George Washington, the great
     Revolutionary War general, should be placed near the site of the new Congressional
     building, wherever it might be. After then-President Washington asked him to lay
     out a new federal capital on the Potomac River in 1791, architect Pierre L’Enfant
     left a place for the statue at the western end of the sweeping National Mall
     (near the monument’s present location).

     It wasn’t until 1832, however – 33 years after Washington’s death – that anyone really did anything about the monument. That year, a private Washington National Monument Society was formed. After holding a design competition and choosing an elaborate Greek temple-like design by architect Robert Mills, the society began a fundraising drive to raise money for the statue’s construction. These efforts – including appeals to the nation’s schoolchildren – raised some $230,000, far short of the $1 million needed. Construction began anyway, on July 4, 1848, as representatives of the society laid the cornerstone of the monument: a 24,500-pound block of pure white marble.

     Six years later, with funds running low, construction was halted. Around the time the Civil War began in 1861, author Mark Twain described the unfinished monument as looking like a “hollow, oversized chimney.” No further progress was made until 1876 – the centennial of American independence – when President Ulysses S. Grant authorized construction to be completed.

     Made of some 36,000 blocks of marble and granite stacked 555 feet in the air, the monument was the tallest structure in the world at the time of its completion in December 1884. In the six months following the dedication ceremony, over 10,000 people climbed the nearly 900 steps to the top of the Washington Monument. Today, an elevator makes the trip far easier, and more than 800,000 people visit the monument each year. A city law passed in 1910 restricted the height of new buildings to ensure that the monument will remain the tallest structure in Washington, D.C.–a fitting tribute to the man known as the “Father of His Country.”

296. December 5, 1984
     ==============
     Eddie Murphy stared as the wisecracking Detective Axel Foley in the action-comedy
     Beverly Hills Cop, released in theaters on this day in 1984. The movie marked the first
     major starring role for Murphy, who went on to become one of the top-grossing
     actors in Hollywood.

     Murphy was born on April 3, 1961, in Brooklyn, New York, and rose to fame in the early 1980s on the TV sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. As a regular cast member of the show from 1980 to 1984, Murphy became known for such memorable characters as Buckwheat, Gumby and an inner-city Mr. Rogers, as well as for his impersonations of celebrities, including Stevie Wonder. In 1982, Murphy made his big-screen debut in the hit action-comedy 48 Hrs., co-starring Nick Nolte, which was followed by another popular comedy, Trading Places (1983), featuring fellow SNLer Dan Aykroyd, Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche.

     It was the huge box-office success of 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop, however, that propelled Murphy to worldwide fame. In the film, Murphy played a police detective from Detroit who winds up in Beverly Hills, where he tracks a man believed responsible for the death of his friend. Beverly Hills Cop earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and featured a soundtrack with such chart-toppers as “New Attitude” by Patti LaBelle and “The Heat is On” by Glenn Frey. The film spawned the hit sequels Beverly Hills Cop II (1987) and Beverly Hills Cop III (1994).

     In 1989, Murphy made his directorial debut with Harlem Nights, which he also wrote and co-starred in, opposite Richard Pryor. The film was panned by critics and Murphy’s career slumped as he went on to appear in a series of box-office duds. Things rebounded for the actor in the mid-1990s, when he starred in such family-friendly box-office hits as The Nutty Professor (1996), in which he played multiple characters, and Dr. Doolittle (1998), in which he played the title role. Murphy scored yet another massive hit when he voiced the character of a donkey in 2001’s animated feature Shrek and its sequels, Shrek 2 (2004) and Shrek the Third (2007).

     Murphy earned his first Academy Award nomination, in the Best Supporting Actor category, for his performance as the drug-addicted R&B singer James “Thunder” Early in 2006’s Dreamgirls, based on the award-winning Broadway musical of the same name. Murphy, who had a recording career in the 1980s that included the hit single “Party All the Time,” performed his own musical numbers in Dreamgirls.

297. December 4, 1956
     ==============
     The modest storefront recording studio at 760 Union Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, played
     an outsize role in rock-and-roll history. And of the many historic moments that occurred there,
     none is more famous than the impromptu jam session by four young rock-and-roll giants that
     took place on this day in 1956 — a session enshrined in rock-and-roll legend as the
     one-and-only gathering of the “Million Dollar Quartet.”

     The studio at 760 Union was run by Sam Phillips, the legendary producer whose Sun Records had launched Elvis Presley on his path toward stardom two years earlier with the release of his first single, “It’s Alright Mama” (1954). Phillips’ decision to sell Presley’s contract to RCA Victor in 1955 for only $35,000 is easy to question in retrospect, but it provided Sun Records with the operating capital it needed in order to record and promote the parade of future stars who had descended on Memphis hoping to follow in Elvis’ footsteps.

     Among those stars was Carl Perkins, the rockabilly legend who was in the studio on December 4, 1956, to record a follow-up to his smash hit from earlier that year: “Blue Suede Shoes.” Hanging out in the booth was Perkins’ good friend Johnny Cash, already a star in his own right after his breakthrough hits, “Folsom Prison Blues” (1955) and “I Walk The Line” (1956). And playing piano for a $15 session fee was the brash, wild, but not-yet-famous Jerry Lee Lewis, whose career-making Sun single “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” was set for release just a few weeks later. Four songs into Perkins’ session, all work came to an end with the arrival of an unexpected drop-in guest: Elvis Presley himself.

     While recording engineer Jack Clement ran a tape that would not be discovered for more than 20 years, Sam Phillips—ever the promoter—had the presence of mind to summon a photographer from the local paper to capture images of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins gathered around a piano singing the kind of music they’d all grown up on: gospel. The caption under the photo that ran in the next day’s Memphis Press-Scimitar was “Million Dollar Quartet.” The label quickly caught on among rock-and-roll fans who would not actually get the chance to hear the recording made on this day in 1956 until 1981, when the first portions of the lost tapes were discovered and released.

298. December 3, 1967
     ==============
     On December 3, 1967, 53-year-old Lewis Washkansky received the first human
     heart transplant at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa.

     Washkansky, a South African grocer dying from chronic heart disease, received the transplant from Denise Darvall, a 25-year-old woman who was fatally injured in a car accident. Surgeon Christiaan Barnard, who trained at the University of Cape Town and in the United States, performed the revolutionary medical operation. The technique Barnard employed had been initially developed by a group of American researchers in the 1950s. American surgeon Norman Shumway achieved the first successful heart transplant, in a dog, at Stanford University in California in 1958.

     After Washkansky’s surgery, he was given drugs to suppress his immune system and keep his body from rejecting the heart. These drugs also left him susceptible to sickness, however, and 18 days later he died from double pneumonia. Despite the setback, Washkansky’s new heart had functioned normally until his death.

     In the 1970s, the development of better anti-rejection drugs made transplantation more viable. Dr. Barnard continued to perform heart transplant operations, and by the late 1970s many of his patients were living up to five years with their new hearts. Successful heart transplant surgery continues to be performed today, but finding appropriate donors is extremely difficult.

299. December 2, 1972
     ==============
     On December 2, 1972, the Temptations earned the last of their four chart-topping hits
     when “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone” reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

     Over the course of their storied career, the Temptations placed 38 hit records in the pop top 40 — not just more than any other Motown Records artist – but more than any American pop group ever. Beyond their quantitative achievements, the Temptations also embodied the original Motown ideal that the records mattered more than the people who made them — for good and for ill. Various intrigues, upsets and tragedies saw the Temptations’ lineup change almost annually during their heyday, but the turmoil went largely unnoticed by the record-buying public. Indeed, in an era when pop groups were coming to be known as much for the personalities of their individual members as for their music, the Temptations — a group in which all five members sometimes sang lead — remained essentially unknowable other than through their incredible records.

     Formed in Detroit, Michigan, in the early 1960s when members of two vocal groups called The Distants and The Primes came together as “The Elgins,” The Temptations took on the name under which they became famous shortly after signing with Berry Gordy’s fledgling Motown Records in 1961. Even as personnel shifted due to internal politics and the untimely death of one original member – Paul Williams, by suicide in 1973 – the Temptations kept churning out hits well past the era when Motown first became famous for creating “The Sound of Young America.” Indeed, The Temptations were alone among the stars that emerged from “Hitsville U.S.A.” in successfully navigating the transition from the mid 1960s to the early 1970s, evolving from the glorious love poetry of producer-songwriter Smokey Robinson on early hits like “The Way You Do The Things You Do” (1964) and “My Girl” (1965), to the funk-fueled social commentary of producer Norman Whitfield and songwriting partner Barrett Strong on later hits like “Ball Of Confusion (That’s What The World Is Today)” (1970) and “Papa Was A Rolling Stone,” which became their final chart-topper on this day in 1972.

     The Temptations were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, but the deaths in quick succession of members David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks and Melvin Franklin in 1991, 1992 and 1995, respectively, leaves Otis Williams as the sole surviving member of the original Temptations lineup. Williams continues to perform the group’s hits to this day with a new group of Temptations.

300. December 1, 1913
     ==============
     On this day in 1913, Henry Ford installed the first moving assembly line for the mass
     production of an entire automobile. His innovation reduced the time it took to build
     a car from more than 12 hours to two hours and 30 minutes.

     Ford’s Model T, introduced in 1908, was simple, sturdy and relatively inexpensive – but not
     inexpensive enough for Ford, who was determined to build “motor cars for the great multitude.”

     “When I’m through,” he said, “about everybody will have one.” In order to lower the
     price of his cars, Ford figured, he would just have to find a way to build them more efficiently.

     Ford had been trying to increase his factories’ productivity for years. The workers who built his Model N cars (the Model T’s predecessor) arranged the parts in a row on the floor, put the under-construction auto on skids and dragged it down the line as they worked. Later, the streamlining process grew more sophisticated. Ford broke the Model T’s assembly into 84 discrete steps, for example, and trained each of his workers to do just one. He also hired motion-study expert Frederick Taylor to make those jobs even more efficient. Meanwhile, he built machines that could stamp out parts automatically (and much more quickly than even the fastest human worker could).

     The most significant piece of Ford’s efficiency crusade was the assembly line. Inspired by the continuous-flow production methods used by flour mills, breweries, canneries and industrial bakeries, along with the disassembly of animal carcasses in Chicago’s meat-packing plants, Ford installed moving lines for bits and pieces of the manufacturing process: For instance, workers built motors and transmissions on rope-and-pulley–powered conveyor belts. In December 1913, he unveiled the pièce de résistance: the moving-chassis assembly line.

     In February 1914, he added a mechanized belt that chugged along at a speed of six feet per minute.
     As the pace accelerated, Ford produced more and more cars, and on June 4, 1924, the 10-millionth
     Model T rolled off the Highland Park assembly line. Though the Model T did not last much
     longer – by the middle of the 1920s, customers wanted a car that was inexpensive and had all the
     bells and whistles that the Model T scorned –it had ushered in the era of the automobile for everyone.

301. December 1, 1940
     ==============
     On this day in 1940, the influential comedian and actor Richard Pryor was born in Peoria, Illinois.
     According to the Museum of Broadcast Communications, Pryor was “the first African-American
     stand-up comedian to speak candidly and successfully to integrated audiences using the language
     and jokes blacks previously only shared among themselves when they were most critical of America.
     His comic style emancipated African-American humor.

     After being expelled from school in the eighth grade, Pryor worked a series of jobs and served in the U.S. Army before he was discharged for getting into a fight. He began performing in comedy clubs and by 1963 was doing stand-up in New York City, modeling his routines after the clean-cut, non-offensive style of such fellow African-American comedians as Bill Cosby. The following year, Pryor made his national TV debut on a variety show hosted by Rudy Vallee. In 1967, he released his first comedy album, Richard Pryor. The funnyman made his big-screen debut that same year with the comedy The Busy Body, featuring Sid Caesar.

     During the 1970s, Pryor’s comedy evolved, and he tackled racially sensitive topics in his stand-up routines and bestselling, Grammy Award-winning comedy albums, often using raunchy, politically incorrect language. According to his 2005 obituary in the New York Times: “At the height of his career, in the late 1970’s, Mr. Pryor prowled the stage like a restless cat, dispensing what critics regarded as the most poignant and penetrating comedic view of African-American life ever afforded the American public. He was volatile yet vulnerable, crass but sensitive, streetwise and cocky but somehow still diffident and anxious. And he could unleash an astonishing array of dramatic and comic skills to win acceptance and approval for a kind of stark humor.”

     Pryor’s movie career took off with the 1976 box-office hit Silver Streak, a comedy-thriller about a murder on a train, co-starring Gene Wilder. Pryor and Wilder went on to collaborate on such films as Stir Crazy (1980), See No Evil Hear No Evil (1989) and Another You (1991). During the 1970s, Pryor also appeared in such movies as 1977’s Greased Lightning, in which he plays a race car driver; The Wiz (1978), a version of The Wizard of Oz that featured an entirely African-American cast, with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson joining Pryor (who played the title role); writer Neil Simon’s California Suite (1978), with Alan Alda, Jane Fonda, Walter Matthau, Maggie Smith and Bill Cosby; and The Muppet Movie (1979). In 1979, Pryor also released his first concert film, Richard Pryor, Live in Concert, which according to a 2005 Times article “remains the standard by which other movies of live comedy performances are judged.”

     In 1980, Pryor, who battled substance-abuse issues during his life, was severely burned in an explosion caused while he was freebasing cocaine. After spending several months recovering in the hospital, he resumed his career, performing stand-up and appearing in a string of movies, including Bustin’ Loose (1980), in which he plays an ex-con who gets a second chance; Superman III (1983), with Christopher Reeve; Brewster’s Millions (1985), with John Candy; the semi-autobiographical Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life is Calling (1986); and Harlem Nights (1989), written, directed by and co-starring Eddie Murphy.

     In 1986, Pryor was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. He made his final film appearance
     in David Lynch’s Lost Highway (1997). Pryor, who was married six times, died at the age
     of 65 on December 10, 2005, in California after suffering a heart attack.

     On November 30, 1974, Elton John’s Greatest Hits began a 10-week run atop the
     Billboard 200 pop album chart on its way to selling more than 24 million copies worldwide.

     Elton John was born and raised as Reginald Dwight in suburban London, and if you’d rearranged his DNA or his childhood environment just a bit, he might have become an RAF fighter pilot instead of one of the biggest pop stars of all time. His father, Stanley, wanted young Reginald to follow his footsteps into the British military, but his mother Shirley Dwight’s Elvis Presley records sparked his interest in rock and roll, and her uncritical devotion made it possible for the bespectacled boy to pursue his dream of rock stardom without discouragement. And he displayed remarkable tenacity in pursuing that dream, even to the point of ruining his vision by wearing a pair of Buddy Holly-style eyeglasses until his eyes adjusted to their strong prescription.

     An accomplished pianist with a gift for composing original melodies, Reg Dwight toured extensively with a band called Bluesology while still a teenager in the mid-1960s, but his path toward stardom really began when he landed a 9-to-5 songwriting job at DJM Records in 1967 and was paired with a lyricist named Bernie Taupin. Taking the stage-name Elton John in 1969, Dwight began recording original material written with Taupin while still turning out bland, commercial ballads by the hundreds as part of his day job. His debut album, Empty Sky (1969) failed to catch on in the UK and was not released in the United States until years later, but his follow-up, Elton John (1970), was a breakthrough smash thanks to “Your Song,” his first top-20 hit on both sides of the Atlantic.

     Over the next four years, John would produce new material at a rate that is utterly astonishing by today’s standards. Prior to the November 1974 release of Elton John’s Greatest Hits, he released six full-length studio albums—Tumbleweed Connection (1970), Madman Across the Water (1971), Honky Château (1972), Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player (1973), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973) and Caribou (1974)—and scored 14 American top 40 hits, 10 of which were included on the greatest-hits album that reached #1 on this day in 1974.

     Over the subsequent decades of his phenomenal career, Elton John would release two further volumes of greatest hits, sell tens of millions of albums worldwide and establish an American chart record that may never be equaled by placing at least one hit on the Billboard Top 40 in each of 30 consecutive years from 1970 through 1999.

303. So will this integration make me a monster or a Neo-Thinker? Most likely the story is the work of someone’s imagination, the words upset my emotional state of mind, therefore what you will get in response will be pure honesty. Here is the story as it was printed, and is a story about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam . He called his parents from San Francisco. “Mom and Dad, I’m coming home but I have a favor to ask. I have a friend I’d like to bring home with me. “Sure” they replied, We’d love to meet him”, “There’s something you need to know,” the son continued,” He was pretty badly hurt in the fighting, he stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come and live with us. ” I’m sorry to hear that son, maybe we can help him find a place to live”. “No. Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us. “Son. said the father, “you don’t know what your asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. we have our own lives to live and we can’t let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget this guy, He will find a way to live on his own.” At that point the son hung up the phone and the parents never nothing more from him. Later, their son had died from falling from a building they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him but to their horror, they also discovered something they didn’t know, their son had only one arm and one leg………The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good looking or fun to be around but would rather stay away from people who are not as healthy, beautiful or as smart as they are. Here’s where the story starts getting messed up) Thankfully , there’s someone who won’t treat us that way. Someone who loves us unconditionally regardless of how messed up we are. “Shout for joy, you heavens rejoice. You Earth : burst into song: You mountains ! For the lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones—-Isaiah..! To this poster, that is the biggest crock of bs I have ever read! Why are we to rejoice and be filled with joy and burst into song if an external never seen God would choose to let a young man in his prime, with the exception of a few handicaps, left in such anguish as to destroy him self rather than to heal his mind as well as his physical shell of a body for years to come? Could it be that he has no power and doesn’t actually exist? At least this is one mysticism I believe I have shed. I would also like to mention that there are parts of my own I-ness and soul in this story. We will not find peace until we find love and compassion for our fellow man.

     On November 29, 1997, Grambling State University football coach Eddie Robinson coached
     his last college football game. Grambling’s Tigers played the Southern University Jaguars
     at the Superdome in New Orleans; Southern won, 30-7. He’d been coaching at Grambling – a
     historically black college near Shreveport – for 55 seasons. His career record of 408-165-15
     was the second-winningest in college football.

     The recordholder, John Gagliardi of St. John’s University in Minnesota, won 443 games.
     He broke Robinson’s record in 2003. Robinson’s Grambling team sent 220 players to the
     NFL and four to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “Eddie Robinson molded as many great
     athletes as he recruited,” a former player for a rival team remembered. “If you were
     good enough to play for Grambling, you were good enough to play in the NFL.”

     In 1941, Robinson was working days at a feed mill and nights on an ice truck when his sister told
     him that Grambling – then known as the Louisiana Negro Normal and Industrial Institute – was
     looking for a football coach. Robinson impressed the college president and got the job. In his
     first season, the team went 3-5; in his second, they were undefeated and un-scored-upon.
     At a black college in the segregated South, there wasn’t much money for extras, so Robinson
     did everything there was to do: He painted lines on the field; made sandwiches before away
     games because the team couldn’t eat at Jim Crow restaurants; and once sent his entire team
     to help his star running backs pick cotton so they would be done in time to play in the
     championship game. (They were, and Grambling won.)

     By the 1960s, Robinson had decided to build Grambling into a team with a truly national
     following. (He frequently compared his team to “a deep South version of Notre Dame.
     ”) He took the Tigers on “barnstorming” tours from coast to coast, where they played
     before tens of thousands of people in venerable arenas like Yankee Stadium, the Rose
     Bowl and the Los Angeles Coliseum.

     Just as Robinson was introducing a majority of Americans to black college football,
     black college football was beginning to fall apart. Southern state universities began
     to integrate their teams in the 1960s and 70s, and, while this was undoubtedly good
     for college football (and, as Sports Illustrated noted, “for humankind”), it wasn’t
     great for the Tigers. Robinson no longer got first crack at talented young
     African-American recruits. Though Grambling’s team survived, it had to start
     playing in a less prestigious division.

     But Robinson hung on for 26 more seasons and hundreds more victories.
     (He passed Bear Bryant’s all-time win record in 1985 and kept on going.)
     He died in 2007 of complications from Alzheimer’s, but his legacy survives.

305. November 27, 1942
     ===============
     On this day, guitar legend Jimi Hendrix was born in Seattle. Hendrix grew up playing guitar,
     imitating blues greats like Muddy Waters as well as early rockers. He joined the army in 1959
     and became a paratrooper but was honorably discharged in 1961 after an injury that exempted
     him from duty in Vietnam. In the early 1960s, Hendrix worked as a pickup guitarist, backing
     musicians including Little Richard, B.B. King, Ike and Tina Turner, and Sam Cooke. In 1964,
     he moved to New York and played in coffeehouses, where bassist Bryan Chandler of the
     British group the Animals heard him. Chandler arranged to manage Hendrix and brought
     him to London in 1966, where they created the Jimi Hendrix Experience with bassist Noel
     Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. The band’s first single, “Hey Joe,” hit No. 6 on the
     British pop charts, and the band became an instant sensation.

     In 1967, the Jimi Hendrix Experience made its first U.S. appearance, at the Monterey Pop Festival.
     Hendrix made a splash by burning his guitar and was quickly established as a rock superstar.
     In the next two years, before the band broke up in 1969, it had released such classic songs
     as “Purple Haze,” “Foxy Lady,” and “The Wind Cries Mary.” The band’s albums included
     Are You Experienced? (1967), Bold as Love (1969), and Electric Ladyland (1969).

     After the band dissolved because of creative tensions, Hendrix made his famous appearance at
     Woodstock, playing a masterful, intricate version of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Later that year,
     he put together a new group called the Band of Gypsies, which debuted on New Year’s Eve in
     1969. The band put out only one album, Band of Gypsies (1969). (A second album, Band of
     Gypsies II, was released in 1986.) Hendrix then recorded another album, without the band,
     called The Cry of Love, which was released in 1971.

     Hendrix, one of the most innovative guitar players of the rock era, established an
     advanced recording studio in New York called the Electric Lady, boasting 46-track
     recording technology. The studio opened in August 1970, shortly before Hendrix
     died in London in September 1970, following a drug overdose. He was 27.

     ===============
     On this day in 1940, the actor and martial-arts expert Bruce Lee
     was born in San Francisco, California. In his all-too-brief career,
     Lee became a film star in Asia, and a pop-culture icon,
     posthumously, in America.

     Lee was born while his father, a Chinese opera star, was on tour in America. The Lee family moved back to Hong Kong in 1941. Growing up, Lee was a child actor who appeared in some 20 Chinese films. He also studied dancing and trained in the Wing Chun style of gung fu (also known as kung fu). In 1959, Lee returned to America, where he eventually attended the University of Washington and opened a martial-arts school in Seattle. In 1964, he married Linda Emery, who in 1965 gave birth to Brandon Lee, the first of the couple’s two children. In 1966, the Lees relocated to Los Angeles and Bruce appeared on the television program The Green Hornet (1966-1967), playing the Hornet’s acrobatic sidekick, Kato. Lee also appeared in karate tournaments around the United States and continued to teach martial arts to private clients, including the actor Steve McQueen.

     In search of better acting roles than Hollywood was offering, Lee returned to Hong Kong in the early 1970s. He successfully established himself as a star in Asia with the action movies The Big Boss (1971) and The Way of the Dragon (1972), which he wrote, directed and starred in. Lee’s next film, Enter the Dragon, was released in the United States by Hollywood studio Warner Brothers in August 1973. Tragically, Lee had died one month earlier, on July 20, in Hong Kong, after suffering a brain edema believed to be caused by an adverse reaction to a pain medication. Enter the Dragon was a box-office hit, eventually grossing more than $200 million, and Lee posthumously became a movie icon in America.

     Lee’s body was returned to Seattle, where he was buried. His sudden death at the young age of 32 led to rumors and speculation about the cause of his demise. One theory held that Lee had been murdered by Chinese gangsters, while another rumor circulated that the actor had been the victim of a curse. The family-curse theory resurfaced when Lee’s 28-year-old son Brandon, who had followed in his father’s footsteps to become an actor, died in an accidental shooting on the set of the movie The Crow on March 31, 1993. The younger Lee was buried next to his father at Seattle’s Lake View Cemetery.

     ===============
     On this day in 1942, Casablanca – a World War II-era drama starring Humphrey Bogart
     and Ingrid Bergman, premiered in New York City. It went on to become one of the
     most beloved Hollywood movies in history.

     In the film, Bogart played Rick Blaine, a former freedom fighter and the owner of a swanky North African nightclub, who is reunited with the beautiful, enigmatic Ilsa Lund (Bergman), the woman who loved and left him. Directed by Michael Curtiz, Casablanca opened in theaters across America on January 23, 1943, and was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Bogart. It took home three Oscars, for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. The film featured a number of now-iconic quotes, including Rick’s line to Ilsa: “Here’s looking at you, kid,” as well as “Round up the usual suspects,” “Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship” and “Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine.”

     Bogart was born on December 25, 1899, in New York City, and during the 1930s established his movie career playing tough-guy roles. He gained fame as Detective Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon (1941), which marked John Huston’s directorial debut. Bogart and Huston later collaborated on such films as The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) and The African Queen (1951) with Katharine Hepburn, which earned Bogart a Best Actor Oscar. In 1945, Bogart married his fourth wife, the actress Lauren Bacall, with whom he co-starred for the first time in 1944’s To Have and Have Not. Bogey and Bacall became one of Hollywood’s legendary couples and went on to appear together in The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947) and Key Largo (1948). Among Bogart’s other film credits are The Barefoot Contessa (1954), with Ava Gardner; Sabrina (1954), with Audrey Hepburn; and The Caine Mutiny (1954), which earned him another Best Actor nomination. Bogart’s final film was The Harder They Fall (1956). He died on January 14, 1957.

     Casablanca was also the movie for which the Swedish-born actress Ingrid Bergman is perhaps best remembered. Bergman, born August 29, 1915, received a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for 1943’s For Whom the Bell Tolls, which was followed by a win in the same category for 1944’s Gaslight. She was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar again for 1945’s The Bells of St. Mary’s and 1948’s Joan of Arc. Bergman worked with the acclaimed director Alfred Hitchcock on Spellbound (1945), Notorious (1946) and Under Capricorn (1949). In 1949, the then-married Bergman began a romance with director Roberto Rossellini that created a huge scandal after she became pregnant with his child. (Bergman and Rossellini, who later married, had three children together, including the noted actress Isabella Rossellini.) Although Bergman won another Best Actress Academy Award for 1956’s Anastasia, the actor Cary Grant accepted the award on her behalf, and Bergman did not return publicly to Hollywood until the 1958 Oscars, at which she was a presenter. She won her third Academy Award, in the category of Best Supporting Actress, for 1974’s Murder on the Orient Express. Her final Oscar nomination, in the Best Actress category, was for 1978’s Autumn Sonata, which was helmed by famed Swedish director Ingmar Bergman (to whom she was not related). She died on August 29, 1982.

308. November 25, 1952
     ===============
     On this day in 1952, The Mousetrap – a murder-mystery play by Agatha Christie – opened in
     London’s West End. It went on to have the longest initial run of any play in history, with
     more than 23,000 performances to date. In addition to The Mousetrap, the highly prolific
     Christie penned dozens of other plays, novels and stories, a number of which were adapted
     for television, film and radio.

     Christie was born Agatha Miller on September 15, 1890, in Torquay, England. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920 and introduced Detective Hercule Poirot. The mustachioed Belgian sleuth would appear in some 30 novels, including 1926’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, 1934’s Murder on the Orient Express, 1937’s Death on the Nile and 1942’s Five Little Pigs. The final Poirot novel was 1975’s Curtain. On screen, a string of actors portrayed Poirot, starting with Austin Trevor in the 1931 film Alibi. Albert Finney earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Poirot in 1974’s Murder on the Orient Express. The film, which was directed by Sidney Lumet, earned a total of six Academy Award nominations and featured an all-star cast that included Lauren Bacall, Ingrid Bergman and Sean Connery. Peter Ustinov played Poirot in a half-dozen movies, including 1978’s Death on the Nile and 1988’s Appointment with Death. Since 1989, the English actor David Suchet has portrayed Christie’s fictional detective on the British TV series Poirot.

     Another famous Christie creation, spinster and amateur sleuth Jane Marple, appeared in some earlier short stories but made her novel debut in The Murder at the Vicarage, first published in 1930. The tweedy Miss Marple, featured in a dozen books, first appeared on the big screen in 1962’s Murder, She Said, starring the Academy Award-winning English actress Margaret Rutherford. Angela Lansbury took on the roll of Miss Marple in 1980’s The Mirror Crack’d, which co-starred Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson. Lansbury went on to star as the crime-solving mystery writer Jessica Fletcher, a character reportedly inspired in part by Miss Marple, in the popular TV series Murder, She Wrote, which originally aired from 1984 to 1996. Helen Hayes and Joan Hickson are among the other actresses to play Miss Marple.

     The acclaimed big-screen adaptations of Christie’s work that featured characters other than Poirot and Marple include 1957’s suspenseful courtroom drama Witness for the Prosecution, directed by Billy Wilder (Double Indemnity, Sunset Boulevard) and starring Tyrone Power, Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton. The film received six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture.

     Dubbed the “Queen of Crime,” Agatha Christie was one of the top-selling
     writers in history. She died at the age of 85 on January 12, 1976.

     On this day in 1993, Mrs. Doubtfire – starring Robin Williams as a divorced father
     who disguises himself as an elderly British nanny in order to spend time with his
     children – opened in theaters.

     Directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone) and based on a 1987 novel by Anne Fine titled
     Alias Madame Doubtfire, the film co-starred Sally Field, Harvey Fierstein and Pierce
     Brosnan. With Williams following in the footsteps of such actors-in-drag as Dustin
     Hoffman (1982’s Tootsie) and Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis (1959’s Some Like It
     Hot), Mrs. Doubtfire was a big commercial and critical success.

     At the time of Mrs. Doubtfire’s debut, Robin Williams had already gained fame in Hollywood as an actor capable of playing both comedic and straight roles. Williams, who was born on July 21, 1952 (some sources list his birth year as 1951), in Chicago, studied acting at New York City’s Julliard School (where he was friends with future Superman Christopher Reeve) and later developed a stand-up comedy act. He became a star in the 1970s with the TV sitcom Mork and Mindy, which originally aired from 1978 to 1982 and featured Williams as Mork from Ork, a zany space alien who wore rainbow-colored suspenders and greeted people with the phrase “Nanu, Nanu.”

     Williams’ early big-screen credits include Popeye (1980), in which he played the title role, The World According to Garp (1982), Moscow on the Hudson (1984), Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), which earned him his first Best Actor Oscar nomination, and Dead Poets Society (1987), for which he collected a second Oscar nomination. In 1990, Williams co-starred with Robert De Niro in Awakenings, which was followed by performances in such films as The Fisher King (1991), for which he garnered his third Oscar nomination, Steven Spielberg’s Hook (1991), with Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts, and Disney’s Aladdin (1992), in which he voiced the Genie.

     Williams took home an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role as a psychologist in Good Will Hunting (1997); the film received a total of nine Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, and put screenwriters Ben Affleck and Matt Damon (who also starred in the film) on Hollywood’s A-list. Williams went on to appear in clunkers such as Patch Adams (1998), as well as the thrillers One Hour Photo (2002) and The Night Listener (2006). In 2006, he voiced several characters in the popular animated feature about dancing penguins, Happy Feet.

     In addition to his film work, since the 1980s Williams has been a co-host, along with friends and fellow comedians Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg, of the Comic Relief TV benefit specials, which raise money for charities that aid the homeless.

     A hijacker calling himself D.B. Cooper parachuted from a Northwest Orient
     Airlines 727 into a raging thunderstorm over Washington State. He had
     $200,000 in ransom money in his possession.

     Cooper commandeered the aircraft shortly after takeoff, showing a flight attendant something that looked like a bomb and informing the crew that he wanted $200,000, four parachutes, and “no funny stuff.” The plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, where authorities met Cooper’s demands and evacuated most of the passengers. Cooper then demanded that the plane fly toward Mexico at a low altitude and ordered the remaining crew into the cockpit.

     At 8:13 p.m., as the plane flew over the Lewis River in southwest Washington, the plane’s pressure gauge recorded Cooper’s jump from the aircraft. Wearing only wraparound sunglasses, a thin suit, and a raincoat, Cooper parachuted into a thunderstorm with winds in excess of 100 mph and temperatures well below zero at the 10,000-foot altitude where he began his fall. The storm prevented an immediate capture, and most authorities assumed he was killed during his apparently suicidal jump. No trace of Cooper was found during a massive search.

     In 1980, an eight-year-old boy uncovered a stack of nearly $5,880 of the ransom money in the sands along the north bank of the Columbia River, five miles from Vancouver, Washington. The fate of Cooper remains a mystery.

311. November 24, 1859
     ===============
     On the Origin of Species – a groundbreaking scientific work by British naturalist Charles
     Darwin – was published in England on this day in 1859. Darwin’s theory argued that
     organisms gradually evolve through a process he called “natural selection.”
     In natural selection, organisms with genetic variations that suit their
     environment tend to propagate more descendants than organisms
     of the same species that lack the variation, thus influencing the
     overall genetic makeup of the species.

     Darwin, who was influenced by the work of French naturalist Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck and the English economist Thomas Mathus, acquired most of the evidence for his theory during a five-year surveying expedition aboard the HMS Beagle in the 1830s. Visiting such diverse places as the Galapagos Islands and New Zealand, Darwin acquired an intimate knowledge of the flora, fauna, and geology of many lands. This information, along with his studies in variation and interbreeding after returning to England, proved invaluable in the development of his theory of organic evolution.

     The idea of organic evolution was not new. It had been suggested earlier by, among others, Darwin’s grandfather Erasmus Darwin, a distinguished English scientist, and Lamarck, who in the early 19th century drew the first evolutionary diagram — a ladder leading from one-celled organisms to man. However, it was not until Darwin that science presented a practical explanation for the phenomenon of evolution.

     Darwin had formulated his theory of natural selection by 1844, but he was wary to reveal his thesis to the public because it so obviously contradicted the biblical account of creation. In 1858, with Darwin still remaining silent about his findings, the British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace independently published a paper that essentially summarized his theory. Darwin and Wallace gave a joint lecture on evolution before the Linnean Society of London in July 1858, and Darwin prepared On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection for publication.

     Published on November 24, 1859, Origin of Species sold out immediately. Most scientists quickly embraced the theory that solved so many puzzles of biological science, but orthodox Christians condemned the work as heresy. Controversy over Darwin’s ideas deepened with the publication of The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871), in which he presented evidence of man’s evolution from apes.

     By the time of Darwin’s death in 1882, his theory of evolution was generally accepted. In honor of his scientific work, he was buried in Westminster Abbey beside kings, queens, and other illustrious figures from British history. Subsequent developments in genetics and molecular biology led to modifications in accepted evolutionary theory, but Darwin’s ideas remain central to the field.

     On this day,bluesman Robert Johnson was recorded for
     the very first time in a San Antonio recording studio.

     The legend of Robert Johnson – arguably the most influential blues performer of all time – began growing in earnest only in the early 1960s, more than 20 years after his death. It was the 1959 publication of Samuel Charters’s The Country Blues that introduced his name to many, but as Charters himself observed of Johnson at the time, “Almost nothing is known about his life….He is only a name on a few recordings.” What is well known about those recordings is that they helped inspire a blues-rock revolution in the decade that followed—a revolution led by young British musicians like Eric Clapton and Keith Richard. What is less well known, perhaps, is just how small that body of work actually is.

     In his short but hugely influential life, Robert Johnson spent only five days in the recording studio, recording only 41 total takes of 29 different songs. Thirteen of those takes and eight of those songs—including “Sweet Home Chicago” and “Terraplane Blues”—were captured during his first-ever session, on this day in 1936, in a makeshift studio set up in adjoining rooms of the Gunter Hotel in downtown San Antonio. Johnson returned to the Gunter Hotel twice more later in that same week, and then recorded once more over the course of two days in 1937 in Dallas. The results of those sessions were 12 78-rpm records issued on the Vocalion label in 1937 and 1938, the last of them after Johnson’s death by poisoning at the hands of a jealous husband on August 16, 1938.

     Almost immediately, Johnson’s recordings gained a cult following among blues collectors like John Hammond, who would later gain fame as the “discoverer” of artists ranging from Billie Holliday and Big Joe Turner to Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Bruce Springsteen. Yet from 1938 to 1961, when Hammond convinced Columbia Records to release an album of Robert Johnson recordings called King of the Delta Blues, Johnson was more of a rumor than a reality. King of the Delta Blues, however, would spark a strong resurgence of interest in his life and work—a resurgence that would nevertheless fail to turn up many verifiable details of his life beyond the dates of his birth and death and of his few recording sessions.

313. November 22,1963
     ===============
     President John F. Kennedy was assassinated during a visit to Dallas, Texas.
     His death caused intense mourning in the United States and brought Vice
     President Lyndon Johnson to the presidency. Kennedy’s untimely death
     also left future generations with a great many “what if” questions
     concerning the subsequent history of the Cold War. In the years since
     Kennedy’s death, a number of supporters argued that had he lived he would
     have done much to bring the Cold War to a close. Some have suggested that
     he would have sharply curtailed military spending and brought the arms
     race under control. The most persistent claim, which served as the
     centerpiece of Oliver Stone’s 1991 film JFK, is that Kennedy would have
     withdrawn U.S. troops from Vietnam after being re-elected in 1964. Stone
     went on to charge that right-wing militants in the U.S. government
     coordinated the assassination plot. It is difficult to say what Kennedy would
     have done had he not been killed in November 1963, but the arguments
     raised by Stone and others do not seem supported by the available evidence.
     During his brief presidency, Kennedy consistently requested higher military
     spending, asking for billions in increased funding. After the humiliating
     defeat at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba, his administration approved Operation
     Mongoose, a CIA program that involved plots to destabilize the communist
     government in Cuba. There was even discussion about assassinating Cuban l
     eader Fidel Castro. In Vietnam, Kennedy increased the number of U.S.
     advisers from around 1,500 when he took office, to more than 16,000 by the
     time of his death. His administration also participated in the planning of the
     coup that ultimately overthrew South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem,
     who was murdered by his own military just three weeks prior to Kennedy’s
     assassination. If Kennedy was going to become less of a cold warrior after
     1964, there was little to suggest this change prior to November 22, 1963.

314. November 22, 1916
     ===============
     On this day, Jack London – one of the best novelists to chronicle the wild western
     frontier of Alaska – died from kidney failure in Glen Ellen, California.

     Born in San Francisco in 1876, John Griffith London was the child of an unmarried mother who
     had come from a once wealthy family that had fallen on hard times. It is believed that his father
     was William Chaney, an itinerant journalist and lawyer whose main claim to fame was his role
     in popularizing the American study of astrology. However, Jack took the name of John London,
     a partially disabled Civil War veteran his mother married in 1876, the year Jack was born.

     Growing up in poverty, London nonetheless had a colorful adolescence filled with adventure and excitement. Before he reached the age of 19, London sailed the Pacific on a whaling boat, hoboed around the countryside, and joined Kelly’s Army of unemployed protestors against American economic inequality. When he was 19, he crammed a four-year high school course into one year of intensive studies and enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley. He quit college after only one year to join the Klondike gold rush, but remained a voracious reader and student throughout his life.

     Although his lasting claim to fame came from his stories of the Alaskan gold frontier, London only spent a brief time in the Klondike in the winter of 1897 searching for his fortune. Like most gold seekers, London’s prospecting efforts failed. However, he returned to California with a trove of stories and tall tales that eventually proved even more valuable. London published his first stories of the Alaskan frontier in 1899, and he eventually produced over 50 volumes of short stories, novels, and political essays. His 1903 novel about a domestic dog who joins an Alaskan wolf pack – The Call of the Wild – brought him lasting fame and reflected his beliefs in Social Darwinism. Interestingly, despite his identification with rugged individualism and fierce competition, London was a committed socialist and supporter of the American labor movement.

     Although his writing was lucrative, London spent piles of money on an enormous house and ranching operation in California; to pay for these, he wrote throughout his life. Plagued by illnesses from an early age, London developed a kidney disease of unknown origin and died on November 22, 1916 at only 40 years old. Recent scholarship has discredited claims made by earlier biographers that London was an alcoholic womanizer who took his own life.

315. Back to local politics: You gotta love em!!!! Rapid City Journal, 11/26/17.
     “Thune’s war chest is so full, his money makes money! He has so much money socked away that he now makes more from interest and dividends than most other politicians collect from their donors.” Thune, is the 3rd highest ranking republican in the U.S. Senate, Friends of Thune campaign committee held $11.37 Million at the end of September according to reports filed by the Federal Election Committee. The report goes on to say that during that same time period , those securities generated $151,129.72 in interest. Also during this time frame , they took in additional new money in PAC funds of $185,000 in contributions totaling $1.2 Million and yet another PAC called “The heartland values” claimed they had also taken $762,580.73 as of the end of June. I would assume the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker have been replaced by more modern day organizations such as Big Pharma, Big Oil, The NRA, and few other organizations designed to make our lives poorer and more stressful. Please do not misunderstand, I have no problems with value creators who earn there own money in an honest and trustworthy way, but…… Who says money can’t buy happiness, whether it’s yours or somebody else’s ! Trying to put a little love in my heart. Did I mention that Thune and his brothers all got educated at a divinity school and became ordained ministers until the end of the Nam war?

     ===============
     On this day in 1976, Rocky – starring Sylvester Stallone as the underdog prizefighter
     Rocky Balboa – debuted in New York City. The movie, which opened in theaters
     across the United States on December 3, 1976, was a huge box-office hit and
     received 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor and Best
     Original Screenplay for the then-little known Stallone. Rocky ultimately
     took home three Oscars, including one for Best Picture, and made
     Stallone one of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

     Sylvester Stallone was born on July 6, 1946, in New York City. By the early 1970s, he had begun his professional acting career, appearing in off-Broadway shows and bit movie roles. Frustrated by his lack of success, Stallone started penning screenplays, including The Lords of Flatbush (1974), in which he co-starred with another relatively unknown young actor named Henry Winkler. Stallone’s career was transformed after the success of his next screenplay, Rocky, in which he insisted on playing the lead. Produced on a shoestring budget, the film told the story of Rocky Balboa, a small-time, down-on-his-luck Philadelphia boxer who works as a debt collector for a loan shark before getting a shot at the world heavyweight championship. Rocky includes such memorable lines as “Yo, Adrian!” (directed at Rocky’s love interest, played by Talia Shire) and “You’re gonna eat lightning, you’re gonna crap thunder,” as well as the now-iconic scene in which Rocky takes a training run up and down the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art as the movie’s theme song, “Gonna Fly Now,” plays. Stallone went on to write and star in five more Rocky movies: Rocky II (1979), Rocky III (1982), Rocky IV (1985), Rocky V (1990) and Rocky Balboa (2006).

     Stallone struck Hollywood movie-franchise gold a second time playing the action-hero John Rambo, a troubled ex-Green Beret and Vietnam War vet. Stallone portrayed Rambo in First Blood (1982), Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985), Rambo III (1988) and Rambo (2008).

     In addition to the Rocky and Rambo movies, Stallone’s long list of film credits includes Rhinestone (1984) with Dolly Parton; Tango & Cash (1989), with Kurt Russell; Cliffhanger (1993), with John Lithgow and Janine Turner; and Cop Land (1997), with Harvey Keitel and Ray Liotta. Stallone made his directorial debut with Paradise Alley (1978) and has also helmed several of the Rocky and Rambo films.

318. November 21, 1875
     ===============
     On this day, the American inventor Thomas Edison announced his
     invention of the phonograph – a way to record and play back sound.

     Edison stumbled on one of his great inventions – the phonograph – while working on a
     way to record telephone communication at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey.
     His work led him to experiment with a stylus on a tinfoil cylinder, which, to his surprise,
     played back the short song he had recorded, “MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB”. Public
     demonstrations of the phonograph made the Yankee inventor world famous, and he was
     dubbed the “Wizard of Menlo Park.”

     Edison set aside this invention in 1878 to work on the incandescent light bulb, and other
     inventors moved forward to improve on the phonograph. In 1887, Edison resumed work
     on the device, using the wax-cylinder technique developed by Charles Tainter. Although
     initially used as a dictating machine, the phonograph proved to be a popular tool for
     entertainment, and in 1906 Edison unveiled a series of musical and theatrical selections
     to the public through his National Phonograph Company. Continuing to improve on
     models and cylinders over the years, the Edison Disc Phonograph debuted in 1912 with
     the aim of competing in the popular record market. Edison’s discs offered superior
     sound quality but were not compatible with other popular disc players.

     During the 1920s, the early record business suffered with the
     growth of radio, and in 1929 recording production at Edison
     ceased forever. Edison, who acquired an astounding 1,093
     patents in his 84 years, died in 1931.

320. November 20, 1945
     ===============
     On this day, twenty-four high-ranking Nazis went on trial in
     Nuremberg, Germany, for atrocities committed during World War II.

     The Nuremberg Trials were conducted by an international tribunal made up of representatives
     from the United States, the Soviet Union, France, and Great Britain. It was the first trial of its
     kind in history, and the defendants faced charges ranging from crimes against peace, to
     crimes of war, to crimes against humanity.

     Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence, the British member, presided over the
     proceedings, which lasted 10 months and consisted of 216 court sessions.

     On October 1, 1946, 12 architects of Nazi policy were sentenced to death. Seven others were
     sentenced to prison terms ranging from 10 years to life, and three were acquitted. Of the
     original 24 defendants, one, Robert Ley, committed suicide while in prison, and
     another, Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, was deemed mentally and
     physically incompetent to stand trial. Among those condemned to death
     by hanging were Joachim von Ribbentrop, Nazi minister of foreign
     affairs; Hermann Goering, leader of the Gestapo and the Luftwaffe;
     Alfred Jodl, head of the German armed forces staff; and Wilhelm Frick, minister
     of the interior.

     On October 16, 10 of the architects of Nazi policy were hanged. Goering, who at sentencing
     was called the “leading war aggressor and creator of the oppressive program against the
     Jews,” committed suicide by poison on the eve of his scheduled execution. Nazi Party
     leader Martin Bormann was condemned to death in absentia (but is now believed
     to have died in May 1945). Trials of lesser German and Axis war criminals
     continued in Germany into the 1950s and resulted in the conviction
     of 5,025 other defendants and the execution of 806.

321. October 19, 1975
     =============
     On this day in 1975, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – a film about a group of patients at
     a mental institution – opened in theaters. Directed by Milos Forman and based on a 1962
     novel of the same name by Ken Kesey, the film starred Jack Nicholson and was
     co-produced by the actor Michael Douglas. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest went on to
     become the first film in four decades to win in all five of the major Academy Award
     categories: Best Actor (Nicholson), Best Actress (Louise Fletcher, who played Nurse Ratched),
     Best Director, Best Screenplay (Adapted) and Best Picture.

     One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest marked Jack Nicholson’s first Oscar win, although the actor – who was born April 22, 1937, in Neptune, New Jersey -had already received four other Academy Award nominations by that time. Nicholson’s first nomination, in the Best Supporting Actor category, came for his performance as an alcoholic lawyer in 1969’s Easy Rider, co-starring Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda. He earned his next Oscar nomination, for Best Actor, for 1970’s Five Easy Pieces, in which he played a drifter. For 1973’s The Last Detail, Nicholson earned another Best Actor Oscar nomination. His fourth Best Actor Oscar nomination came for his performance as Detective Jake Gittes in director Roman Polanski’s Chinatown (1974). In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Nicholson played Randle McMurphy, a convict who pretends to be crazy so he can be sent to a mental institution and avoid prison work detail. Once at the asylum, McMurphy encounters a varied cast of inmates and clashes memorably with the authoritative Nurse Ratched.

     During the 1980s, Nicholson, known for his charisma and devilish grin, appeared in such films as Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980), which was based on a Stephen King horror novel; The Postman Always Rings Twice (1981), with Jessica Lange; Reds (1981), which was directed by Warren Beatty and earned Nicholson another Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination; Terms of Endearment (1983), for which he collected a second Best Actor Oscar; Prizzi’s Honor (1985), for which he received another Best Actor Oscar nomination; The Witches of Eastwick (1987), with Cher, Susan Sarandon and Michelle Pfeiffer; Ironweed (1987), for which he took home yet another Best Actor Academy Award nomination; and Batman (1989), in which he portrayed the villainous Joker.

     Nicholson’s prolific film work in the 1990s included The Two Jakes (1990), a sequel to Chinatown directed by Nicholson himself, the biopic Hoffa (1992) and A Few Good Men (1992), for which he earned another Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination. A Few Good Men features Tom Cruise and Demi Moore and includes the now-famous Nicholson line “You can’t handle the truth.” Nicholson won his third Best Actor Oscar for 1997’s As Good as it Gets, which co-stars Helen Hunt, and earned his 12th Academy Award nomination for his performance in 2002’s About Schmidt. The iconic actor’s more recent film credits include Something’s Gotta Give (2003), with Diane Keaton, and The Departed (2006), directed by Martin Scorsese.

     POWER OF INDIVIDUAL AND
     COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS!

     Hey there Digger, Charlie, and all my fellow Neothinkers! It’s so great to be back here with you once again. Tonight we’re not going to be secluded and snug in our beautiful Aladdin’s Cave high above the mountaintops in the Civilization of the Universe. Instead – won’t you take a little trip with me back in time? I discussed the reality and physics of time travel before – so let’s all go together back in time now to the early Sunday morning of September 24th this year at the Summit in Newark. Those of you who were there I welcome again and those who are here tonight just as warm a welcome to you all now! And any newcomers, I hope you glean a nugget or two from what I share.

     Allow me to just set the stage. It’s about 9:30 and my heart’s fluttering a bit as I am the first speaker. Everyone’s had their coffee, greeted their friends and are alert and ready for the action of the day! It’s been an exciting time getting to know others and the awesome integrations of information, sharing and laughter by this time. As Digger calls to me in the back of the room to come on up, Tim gives a short introduction and I hear mention that it is my first time doing this. As I pass Digger he leans to whisper a quick word of encouragement and off we go! Now, from my perspective there isn’t even one empty seat and lots of smiles and anticipation! So, allow me to present this in the context exactly as if we are there on that morning together … and let’s all share that powerful energy of the day as I reprise my message. Thanks for being here. And thus I begin …

     POWER OF INDIVIDUAL AND
     COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS!
     By Judith Curless

     Welcome everyone to our lovely Sunday morning at the Summit! Going by a bit fast. It’s a privilege and honor to be here, thanks to Mentors Digger and Charlie. You know, looking around at all your beaming faces, I’m reminded that we start a new life – literally start over – when we embrace and integrate into our lives Neo-Tech and Neothink. It takes some time to deprogram and disconnect from the old ways, but once you do, this becomes your greatest and most powerful asset! You all know this, or you wouldn’t have made the great effort to attend this weekend. I say congratulations to every one of us for being here! Also for the enlightening breakthroughs we continue to make, individually and collectively, from teachings by Dr. Wallace, Mark and their family!

     Have you ever given any thought to the fact that the rise of Human Consciousness is the single-most important development of this Century? The title of my message is Power of Individual and Collective Consciousness! Power is a strong energy force but one we can learn to harness. By the Microcosm of our personal consciousness radiating out into the Macrocosm of the Collective, it alters that field. The journey in the Society, I believe, is all about learning to re-discover and own once again our exciting, innate powers!

     Visualize and imagine with me (if you will for a moment) a very powerful but disorienting experience that many may recognize and that I may relate to … Hold it! Wait a sec … What just happened here? Now, this is weird. I feel like I’m waking up from a deep sleep dream. I don’t recognize this place! I am here, so this experience is real. But suddenly everything’s so bright and beautiful … and I feel so wonderful right now. More illusion? All of you and me … unexpectedly just feel so different as I come back in focus.

     Wow! I just had a Quantum Jump we learned about on School of Genius/Rise of Neo-Tech call! My consciousness leaped into a higher level. All at once I’ve arrived in this Now Moment of time. How?! Because of setting my heart, mind and intention to manifest great changes that represent a new life for me. So, now here I am in the Civilization of the Universe with you! This is like having an explosion of ten second miracles all at once! Truly amazing …

     But I’ve gotten ahead of myself here and we’ll get back to this. The question is, “How do we get in touch with Power and then bring it to manifestation in our lives?” Recognize again, each one coming into Higher Consciousness affects the Collective … that’s powerful! So, what is our Life’s Journey to Power? First, it’s not power to exert influence or control over anyone. Rather, this is Self-Empowerment on a journey of Enlightenment for your Life! You are the Power … so, it’s a personal Path (or)Way of Power to discover and connect within Your-Self. Now to just make sense of this.

     What is Power? It’s a great or marked ability to do or act; the capacity of doing or accomplishing something. It’s to inspire, spur or sustain like the intoxication power you’d feel if you became an all-knowing entity. Supply force to operate a machine or engine. And then, of course, there are enormous religious and political controlling powers exerted over us we’re disclosing to annihilate.

     “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of existence. To understand the true nature of the Universe one must think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla

     We’re all spinning vortexes of vibrating energy – light, sound, frequency and resonance, along with all other matter. Our vibration is our personal energy frequency or signature that is the state of our energy at this moment as a result of all beliefs, emotions and experiences or interactions we’ve accumulated. Our minds and hearts working together operate our human vehicle. The brain and heart center (which is much more powerful than our brain) harmonize all the activities of our lives. But using intent or ‘the ghost in the machine’ drives our entire lives. At present, a One Unity Consciousness Field is growing stronger daily with diamond-encoded light photons and gamma rays entering our atmosphere for the first time in Earth’s history! These are influencing our lives profoundly as human frequencies and vibrations are rising and DNA is being upgraded.

     My very first call message in December 2015 was about Neothinkers coming together in unity and harmony can seriously advance Neo-Tech, Neothink & TVP (that I call the next Evolution in Politics). Science has now proven beyond a doubt that a group of like-minded individuals with a specific, moral goal can cohesively manifest tremendous change on this planet for the better! It’s the Power of Collective Consciousness.

     In these interesting and exciting times, people are finding their tribes and clans to come together as new types of families. We attract like vibration and frequency in others to become friends with genetically similar people! A recent study likens it to 1% of their DNA, or that of a fourth cousin. Charlie advanced this unity to a much higher level with initiation of his innovative Reach-Out Program this year that I believe will only grow stronger as a foundation of the Society with time. Like the calls, the clubhouses and this major Event, it’s a timely key puzzle piece clicking into place in our Society family.

     This Power Concept – sometimes you have it, sometimes you don’t. Up one day and down the next, right? However, we are the creator of our own life with every thought, intention, desire, word and action. These are the true elements of creation along the Path-Way of Life we have to work with daily from the power of our mind. We even have the ability to heal ourselves as the art and science of Epigenetics being advanced now has proven. Dr. Bruce Lipton, a Cellular Biologist, helped to pioneer this medical evolution which puts genetics as the secondary factor controlling your health and probabilities of disease and death. Many have heard of or read his book ‘The Biology of Belief’.

     Last, Neo-Tech Power is Supra Power of the mystic-free mind that is collapsing the hoax of mysticism. One’s mind is healthy, consistent and on route to omnipotence in business and love! With Supra Power “one can easily outcompete and outflank those still crippled with mystic-contaminated minds.” Dr. Frank Wallace.

     BIDDING FOR POWER: First, we must make a serious bid for power. Bidding for power is the choice to move up the ladder of capability, influence, vitality, strength and so forth in order to become more competent and powerful. Everything in the known physical universe is bidding for power on a regular basis. It’s nature’s way. We’ve done it our entire lives. One may bid for power at any time or place simply by making the choice to do so. But our bids for power to the Universe will usually occur with a heart’s cry from some extreme duress, emotional or physical trauma. A serious crisis point on our Life Journey. It’s unconscious as we rise up and say, “I’m not going to take it any more – time for change!” – and must begin right now. It sets in motion the force of intention, starting you down a new Path’s Way.

     The bid for power comes with a price – maybe time, effort, energy, or financial – but mostly concerning your comfort zone. Many baby steps are required, so pay attention to details. Be prepared for initiations that will test but not defeat you. If you fail, you’re learning so you can succeed next time. And once you do, that’s just the beginning as you must perform at a higher level, or you’ll fall back down the ladder. We must line it up, let it all go and let in our true life’s mission!

     “If your desire to do something is complete, if your whole Being is in it without seeking a result, without wanting to fulfill – which means without fear – there is no hindrance. There is a hindrance, a contradiction, only when your desire is incomplete, broken up: you want to do something and at the same time you are afraid to do it, or you want to do something else.” Krishnanmurti

     So, the first step in manifesting is to ask for what we need. We tell our Higher Self/The Universe what we desire after having identified it, and are now willing to accept it into our life. “This is what I want; now show me the way!” Lining up means feeling what it’s like to live our dream, being who and where we want to be. This matches our vibration to our heart’s desire and identifies what blocks we may have towards receiving it.

     WALKING THE WAY OF LIFE’S PATH: So, is this Life Path-Way to Power just tranquil, peaceful, effortless and chock-full of Light? Of course not. It can be rocky, jagged, elusive and not even blissful at all. You must go from heartbreak to Soul/I-ness break and the end of all expectation. Pema Chodron said, “Only to the extent that we can expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible be found.” The heartbreak is Ego-death. Your worldview lies shattered and broken at your feet, like as if your Higher Self just dropped the glass globe of your Ego onto the unforgiving concrete of Pure Truth.

     Your Heart is broken wide open with a crack so big the only thing that can possibly fit into is is the entire Universe. And so it does! And thus your I-ness is wide awake. “Suddenly you’re ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god you’re alive and it’s spectacular!” Joseph Campbell.

     But the Ego doesn’t want to take a back seat to the Heart, even though it now knows that the I-ness is more powerful than the Self in driving this vehicle. A new flavor of pain arises as the Ego craves to call the shots, no matter how much healthier things are when its faculties are focused into I-ness craft. Ego transformed into a tool for I-ness craft is the ultimate art form. But it requires a lot of trial and error, much admittance to being wrong about a great many things, and absolute truckloads of pride must be swallowed. Also, the past must be left totally behind. All true keys to realization.

     So, then comes I-ness break and the end of expectation. “I overcame myself, the sufferer; I carried my ashes to the mountains. I invented a brighter flame for myself. And behold. Then the ghost fled from me.” Nietzsche. Now you’re no longer limited by boundaries but rather you’re liberated by horizons! The caterpillar has transformed into a butterfly. Vital cocoons lie behind you – vast horizons lie ahead of you. Now the Heart with which you perceive Love is the same Heart with which Love perceives you. And the I-ness with which you envision Infinity is the same I-ness with which Infinity envisions you. You’ve carried your hard-earned ashes to the mountain. And somewhere in the brighter flame of that summit is a Phoenix laughing at its own ashes!

     So, let’s take some steps down Life’s Journey toward integrating our powers more. Something in us has risen up and is making a bid for Power in our lives. Can’t you just see the sign – ‘Path To Power This Way’?! (Two thumbs point in opposite directions).

     ACCESS TO POWER: First, we must ACCESS it. So, let’s say we’re taking our first conscious step onto the Power Path-Way and check out what it looks and feels like. One foot in, now the other; but then pause to wonder, “Just how do I get in touch with my inner power”? Simple – by getting into remembrance of your Child of the Past! This is the crucial, mystery ingredient in the process. Take time to concentrate on how it felt to be you as a child. To even begin the walk, go back to a crawl, then baby steps, when our Journey of Power really began. For then it was innate. We used our powers daily with no conscious thought – and if we were ever Superman or Superwoman, it was in our youth. So, simple logic says we can be that again as grownup Zons!

     This does not relate to your family nor any of your positive or negative circumstances – you just knew your great powers were a big part of Being You. So, if you wish to feel that way again, relive some golden, loving moments or smile at how a few of your best young achievements felt. Take time to recall your little person every day and it will change you in ways hard to put your finger on, but mysteriously increases your power.

     ACCLIMATE TO POWER! Next, we must ACCLIMATE a bit. After pausing, we’re hesitantly walking, headed along the trail and re-acquainting ourselves with power feelings. Maybe we haven’t experienced our personal powers in ages (for whatever reason). But we just know we alone are responsible for overcoming the Burden of Life that’s crept upon us, so we must take a stand. All the latent powers lie dormant within awaiting recognition again and as we walk our Life’s Path-Way, in our contemplation, we’re becoming stronger with each step. So, we pick up the pace and even make choices of which forks in the path to take. Some elation feelings perk us up a bit!

     LIGHTENING POWER! Except that the load being carried is pretty heavy. So, choices to dump what is no longer needed in our life and psyche must be made. The quicker this step is achieved, the more momentum is gained. So, with a sigh we step off the path to a quiet reflective spot, sit down and take time to sort through our ‘stuff’ – and let go of some major mysticisms and other junk we’ve carried way too long. May take awhile, so be patient. We consciously forgive ourselves and others to heal, release and shift our vibration and consciousness higher as a result. We meditate and visualize a new life now. This difficult process I call the LIGHTEN-UP! Burden of Life already weighs less as we pick up our pack and practically skip down the path feeling lighter and more optimistic!

     And how does this work? One of the most important factors when one is ‘lightening up’ regards having more free space to be able to keep the light fuller within, thus increasing one’s vibration. This is a must in integrating of higher energies influx and moving into a higher consciousness level. You’ll begin having more synchronicities and little quantum leaps forward in your life. And when you’re as free of all your emotional baggage and dramas as you can be is when you just might experience a Quantum Jump.

     To define, the word ‘quantum’ originates from Latin ‘quantus-how much’ in 1610-1620. In physics, the noun refers to a specific amount or quantity of a physical property. First recorded as ‘quantum mechanics’ in 1910-1920, it’s a theory of the mechanics of atoms, molecules and other physical systems that are subject to the uncertainty principle. As an adjective it means ‘sudden and very significant’.

     Science has also proven that the inner light photon quotient you hold can be negatively or positively affected by your own beliefs or holding bad feelings toward someone. Past traumatic experience with another keeps you entangled if healing work isn’t done. Thus, a percentage of your light photon quotient is still being sent out to them from that space in you because of the attachment – no matter how long ago – a steady drain on your vital Life Force! You may wish to give that fact some serious thought when you get a moment to meditate on it to stop a few energy leaks.

     HEALING POWER! To perform Energy Healing on yourself, consciously visualize holding a laser sword of white or violet light and see yourself wield it to ‘cut the karmic cords’ leading to such people. Ask for their forgiveness, send yours and release to let it go. When I began this type work years ago, I literally made a list (alive or crossed over). I also used Ho’ponopono, an ancient Pacific Island family and tribal healing mantra – “I Love You, I’m Sorry, Please Forgive Me, Thank You.” The energy connected with these words can and has worked miracles! Your feeling is being in harmony within yourself.

     CLAIMING POWER! So, those were important moments on your Life Journey. Coming out of the work zone, now you recognize you’re feeling so strong you’re ready to CLAIM your power! It’s becoming much easier to think empowering and loving thoughts about yourself and others. You spend more time out in nature re-experiencing your sacred wild and Core Essence with the Earth. Your mantras and beliefs begin to lift you up as you truly are getting back in touch with your Higher Self. This aids you in overcoming your Ego and it’s constant voices as you’re much more Self-Aware. Using discipline, thought and control to Power Think, you feel yourself changing and want more. Though you still get discouraged or depressed at times, you believe you need to keep moving ahead with just one more step. Reserves of fortitude and determination arise as you take it.

     QUANTUM JUMP TO POWER! And that’s the moment a life-changing event can occur with a Quantum Jump you experience. In Quantum Physics these are small, but in life they are large! It’s the process by which a person envisions a desired result or state of Being that is different from the existing situation – and by clearly observing that possibility and supplying sufficient energy, makes a leap into that alternate reality. In our Multi-Verse of Parallel Universes, it’s made through a kind of handshake through time and space, forming a bridge allowing a person to physically end up in another reality. Both of ‘you’ still exist, but your awareness of who you are coalesces into one reality. And yes, this ‘beam me out’ power is real and scientifically verified to occur! But it will feel very surreal until you adapt to some pure bliss 5d moments once it happens to you.

     INHABIT POWER! You shake yourself and begin to re-orient to a new place and space. “I can do this,” you think as you’re feeling more comfortable within your own skin. Old habits, traits and beliefs abandoned lie scattered behind you all along the path. You’ve experienced Ego-death, though it takes some time to get over symptoms. But you’ve finally recognized Your-Self as the Alchemist of your own life, so you’re creating a new reality you’ve longed for. In that Awakening moment, you know you now INHABIT your power! It is you and you are it. You just know in your heart that you’re walking the fullest Life Journey possible as your most true Authentic Self. This feels joyful!

     OWN YOUR POWER! But one caution – the more powerful vibes you resonate, the more forces will come against you to test your power and determination to remain steadfast. It’s a Universal Law – every thought and vibration you distill into the world creates an equal and opposite reaction back at you. What do you do then? Dark forces can knock the wind out of you or even knock you flat if not prepared. You’ve reached the pinnacle on your Journey where you must now totally and completely OWN your Power! You’ve slipped into a second skin that fits so naturally and perfectly you’re strongly empowered to meet negativity head-on using wisdom, intent, fortitude and a high moral compass. Now when you get knocked down, you leap right back up. This integrated mindset will easily deliver the knockout punch to any vibrational adversary without your lifting a finger. Both arms raised to the sky, this is triumphant Neo-Tech Supra Power!

     HOLDING POWER: Finally, you choose to HOLD the space of Power that you now own – manifesting within and without – reflecting in all aspects of your life. It’s not that you are totally in control. We know that’s not possible. However, you’re operating in a state of trust and Being so in the flow with Universal energies – in a feedback loop that brings about your highest good – that you cannot fail. You’ll thrive amid the chaos and many challenges of today’s world with your powerful mystic-free mind. Inner peace from within now feels like your own personal divine order state of Being.

     Universal forces from out of nowhere arrive to support you. You can almost hear your Phoenix laughing! You’re having fun, enjoying life, running at full vibrational throttle and I-ness integrations. You’ve attained velocity and momentum, having taken control over your Power – so you are rising! All your good’s coming out to greet you. The many challenges ahead you feel strong enough to handle as they come. And look! In the distance a mirage coming more into focus with each step – it’s your lovely Bridge across to the Civilization of the Universe that you’ve already designed for Your-Self.

     And if you can’t see it yet, all it takes is a slight adjustment in your perspective and to embrace the lens of great new possibilities for the future. And this includes the concept of Biological Immortality! It was the very fact Dr. Wallace and Mark believed this to be our ultimate goal possibility that made it real for me. So, let me leave you with a final astounding fact. Scientists have recently stated that if you are still alive in thirty years, then there’s a high probability you can be alive for an additional one thousand years after that!! We’re headed for a momentous outcome. This is your Life … Make a few more bids for Power and just choose to make it a grand adventure, won’t you?!

     Thank you, Digger, Charlie, Mark and my Neo-Friends. I appreciate you taking your precious time to listen and hope this helps you in some way. Tuck away within your Heart some of this phenomenal C of U Power all around as you have a safe journey home – feeling younger, healthier and stronger. NEO-TECH, NEOTHINK, THE TVP, AND US ALL RISING!!

     *Afterthought – My abundant gratitude to all of you!! Happy Thanksgiving Neothink family!!! jc

323. Trying to stay out of politics right now. Not sure I have the stomach for it anymore, However it could be worse. Dr. Wallace seemed to have a certain admiration for Ayn Rand, and maybe this is one of the reasons why. She said……
     “It is the communists intention to make people think that personal success is somehow achieved at the expense of others and that every successful man has hurt somebody by coming successful……. ” Unfortunately we all know people trapped in the A/C world who actually think like that. It’s a little like being happy to have a plain vanilla cone and still being just as happy the kid next to you got a hot fudge Sunday.

324. WOW!!! Judith came out smoking tonight on the School of Genius! Don’t know if this gave an added burst of higher consciousness, but I tried to take all her intensive and inspirational words and put them in some perspective of a country boy,(at age 80 and who is still trying to find his way in life,) to understand. As a huge fan of the late Roger Miller , here is what I finally came up with.
     ” You can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd,
     You can’t take a shower in a parakeet cage,
     Well you can’t go swimming in a baseball pool,
     You can’t change film with a baby on your back,
     You can’t drive around with a tiger in your car.
     BUT YOU CAN BE HAPPY IF YOU’VE A MIND TO !
     All ya gotta do is put your mind to it,
     Knuckle down, buckle down, Do it ! Do it! Do it!
     AND YOU CAN BE HAPPY IF YOU’VE A MIND TO.
     (Translation) What the world needs now are a whole lot more Judith’s and Roger Millers . DUP DUP DUP DUP eyah! Zon save us all. Thanks for letting me a share a little bit of love and foolishness.

325. Hey Pete!!! A shout-out to once again thank you for your continuing posting … you are our Ever-Ready Battery guy … you never stop going! You are appreciated. It was SO great seeing you at the Summit … there was a lot going on but you felt like a very familiar person I’ve known before when I finally met you in person. Take care and keep on keepin’ on. And Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Dad – hope you have a lovely day. Later, babe …

     Judith

326. Hey Forest!! Belatedly, your message last week on School of Genius-Rise of Neo-Tech was really great! So well presented and the documented information you presented was SO beneficial. I mentioned on the call that I had heard of the Rave Diet … and will further look into it. I have been constantly ‘going green’ more and more over the years and actually eat very little meat at this point.

     Just wanted to let you know how excited and appreciative I am that you have stepped forward to do this. It was a greatly needed conversation to remind all of us about the ‘killing fields’ we live in as far as our food production and intake are concerned. Again, thanks! And a hello to Carol. Hope to see ya tonight!

     Judith

328. HOW THE CIA USED CHARLES MANSON TO DEBUNK
     ENTIRE 60’S HIPPIE MOVEMENT

     By Neon Nettle
     November 20, 2017

     The Hippie movement was seen as an economical and sociological threat to both the government and its Vietnam war effort.

     On the 9th August 1969, at the age of 26, 8-month pregnant Sharon Tate along with 4 of her high society friends was brutally murdered at the Hollywood home she shared with Film Director Roman Polanski.

     It is widely believed that these were ritualistic killings ordered by the notorious Charles Manson and carried out by his followers the Manson Family. However, government whistleblower Charles August Schlund III (better known as Chuck Schlund), suggests that these murders may have, in fact, been a covert operation carried out by the CIA …

     Schlund, (now deceased) came across the ‘Don Bolles Papers’ during the ’70’s which, amongst other things, gave information on the CIA’s involvement in the Manson family Murders. Schlund actually filed a lawsuit against George W. Bush, for unlawful attempts, upon his person, to suppress this information, though this never went to trial. (Don Bolles was an American Journalist and patriot).

     Schlund claims that the CIA’s prime objective, at the time, was to to debunk the ‘hippie’ movement which was proving to be an economical and sociological threat to both the government and its Vietnam war effort.

     “The war was going badly and the American people were protesting in ever-greater numbers with pictures of pretty flower girls on TV nightly, protesting. The CIA needed a way of showing the American people that these pretty little flower girls were really Satanists and evil and that the government was right and just in the war. To do this the government needed to conduct a massive covert operation to convince the American people that these little flower girls were evil, and the free love and peace they talked of was really to cover-up evil.”

     Schlund suggests that Charles Manson was, in fact, a social experiment and that the CIA had not only been supplying drugs to the Manson family but also funding their living.

     It’s no secret that the CIA regularly experimented with drugs in an attempt at mass mind control. MKULTRA is one of their most famous projects and Manson was in prison at the time they were known to be using inmates at Vacaville prison in the MKULTRA experiments.

     Tex Watson (family member and one of the convicted Tate-LaBianca Murderer) claimed that in the months leading up to the murders the Manson family had all been taking a drug called ‘Orange Sunshine’ which was manufactured and distributed exclusively by a group known as “The Brotherhood of Eternal Love” where one of the dealers Ronald Stark had known connections to the CIA.

     John Lennon’s Anti-War stance most certainly made him a CIA prime target, which most probably was the result of his untimely death.

     There is no doubt the Manson family were under some sort of mind control; In the book, Helter Skelter, Manson’s prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi talks, in-depth, of Manson’s mind control abilities, and claims they are comparable with those used by the US military…Again suggesting that he may have been a product of the CIA.

     Journalist Gary Webb has also exposed the CIA for their drug dealings. If Schlunds claims were true that the CIA objective was to debunk the hippie movement the aftermath of the Tate-LaBianca Murderer certainly suggested they had reached their objective.

     As Vincent Bugliosi told the Observer newspaper in 2009:

     “The Manson murders sounded the death knell for hippies and all they symbolically represented… They closed an era. The 60s, the decade of love, ended on that night, on 9 August 1969.”

     Even though there is no physical evidence of the ‘Don Bolles Papers’ there is physical evidence for ‘Operation Northwood’. This document shows the CIA proposal to the Kennedy administration to commit acts of terror on US citizens in an attempt to blame Cuba, thus justify a war; Neon Nettle also recently reported on the confession of a 78-year-old CIA agent claiming to have carried out 37 associations that included Marilyn Monroe. With all this evidence we need to keep an open mind on what Schlund claimed.

     (It appears Schlund wasn’t the only one who believed the CIA were responsible for these deaths. See also Mae Brussell Documentary; ‘Charles Manson was a Patsy’).

329. MARINES LANDED AT CIA HEADQUARTERS?
     November 19, 2017

     GOLDEN AGE OF GAIA

     Conservative radio hosts Hal Turner and April Lajune are reporting that a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) landed at Langley on Saturday.

     Said Turner:

     “According to persons who reside near Langley, a large contingent of Marines arrived at CIA Headquarters in tilt-rotor aircraft and when the Marines deplaned, they were armed and moved quickly into CIA Headquarters!

     “Those witnesses also say that a significant number of tilt-rotor aircraft can be clearly seen on the grounds of CIA Headquarters, parked on the grass around the building.

     “This is not normal.”

     There’s no confirmation of this from any other source at this time. Perhaps regard the report with discernment until confirmed and its purpose explained.

     Sealed indictments have now surpassed 1800 in number. (End)

     Footnotes

     (1) Hal Turner Radio Show, Nov. 19, 2017, at halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news/u-s-national-news/1626-reports-us-marine-expeditionary-unit-meu-lands-at-langley-2200-marines and April Lajune, “CONFIRMED: Marines Land At Langley To Stop Coup – Hillary Worried Over Indictments” at youtube.com.

     I believe this report. Let me add the fact that since the 40 Saudi Royals were arrested earlier this month (the Bush cabal operating there and those who aided in the 9-11 event) – now there are more than 2000 indictments issued by Mueller … swamp draining is in action! The picture of them sleeping on bare mattresses on the floor in halls of the palace under arrest was worth more than a thousand words to me. The Prince Trump is working with is taking over – then a week later the headlines showing the King is abdicating to him. He gets to steal all the billions of illegal and ill-gotten monies back from them in order for them to gain freedom. Other facts brought out reveal that the two of them were in the Mandalay Hotel meeting when the shooting started. Read David Wilcock at divinecosmos (confirmed by Benjamin Fulford, who is usually at least half right on what he publishes) – just use discernment! Also the new whistleblower 4chan (whose disclosures have been confirmed by Assange).

     And last I simply MUST mention – Have you seen the picture of both Hillary and McCain in their full foot boots covering their lovely bracelets? She had an accident running down the stairs in high heels and tripped and broke her toe (for which you don’t wear a full boot). And I forgot what his lame reason is. What a huge whoop and laugh I got out of that one! I found it in three different places I usually find pretty reliable as sources. Let’s just hope it’s for REAL!!! And may the Universe continue protecting Trump and the Generals! The White Hats coup seems to be gaining some real and more obvious traction now.

     When all the truth comes out – and it will – people are just not at ALL ready for what’s going to be involved!! It’s becoming more obvious daily that they are going to use at least a partial disclosure of the Antarctica truths and our extraterrestrial presence to totally freak out and distract the public. Also, ancient history that is so unbelievable it will read like a fairy tale to those who are oblivious. Be prepared to stand firm and hold your space to help others wake up and begin healing. It’s going to be a long road back for humanity. But at least we will have a fighting chance of survival on this planet and helping bring about our new circumstances!! WE WILL WIN. Thanks for reading.

330. FACTORY-LIKE SCHOOLS ARE THE CHILD LABOR CRISIS OF TODAY!
     New York Times Editorial
     November 19, 2017

     EVERYTHING VOLUNTARY …

     Most American children and teenagers wake early, maybe gulp down a quick breakfast, and get transported quickly to the building where they will spend the majority of their day being told what to do, what to think, how to act. An increasing number of these young people will spend their entire day in this building, making a seamless transition from the school day to afterschool programming, emerging into the darkness of dinnertime. For others, there are structured afterschool activities, followed by hours of tedious homework. Maybe, if they’re lucky, they’ll get to play a video game before bed—a rare moment when they are in control.

     There is mounting evidence that increasingly restrictive schooling, quickly consuming the majority of childhood, is damaging children. Rates of childhood anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and other mental illness are surging. Teenage suicide rates have doubled for girls since 2007, and have increased 30 percent for teenage boys. Eleven percent of children are now diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and three-quarters of them are placed on potent psychotropic medications for what Boston College psychology professor Dr. Peter Gray describes as a “failure to adapt to the conditions of standard schooling.”

     Dr. Gray goes on to explain:

     It is not natural for children (or anyone else, for that matter) to spend so much time sitting, so much time ignoring their own real questions and interests, so much time doing precisely what they are told to do. We humans are highly adaptable, but we are not infinitely adaptable. It is possible to push an environment so far out of the bounds of normality that many of our members just can’t abide by it, and that is what we have done with schools.

     In the early twentieth century, concern about children’s welfare in oppressive factories was a primary catalyst for enacting child labor laws and simultaneously tightening compulsory schooling laws. Yet, for many of today’s children, the time they spend in forced schooling environments is both cruel and hazardous to their health. Gone are the oppressive factories, but in their place are oppressive schools. Where is the outrage?

     In a New York Times Op-Ed article this week, author Malcolm Harris posits that young people are placed into these high-pressure, increasingly competitive schooling environments by corporate interests aiming to push job training to younger ages without having to pay for it. He writes:

     There are some winners, but the real champions are the corporate owners: They get their pick from all the qualified applicants, and the oversupply of human capital keeps labor costs down. Competition between workers means lower wages for them and higher profits for their bosses: The more teenagers who learn to code, the cheaper one is.

     Harris’s solution is to encourage students to unite collectively, following a labor union paradigm, to demand better schooling conditions. He asserts:

     Unions aren’t just good for wage workers. Students can use collective bargaining, too. The idea of organizing student labor when even auto factory workers are having trouble holding onto their unions may sound outlandish, but young people have been at the forefront of conflicts over police brutality, immigrant rights and sexual violence. In terms of politics, they are as tightly clustered as just about any demographic in America. They are an important social force in this country, one we need right now.

     While Harris and I agree that the conditions of forced schooling are untenable and rapidly worsening, we disagree on the solution. To suggest that students unionize to demand better compulsory schooling conditions is similar to suggesting that prisoners unionize to demand better prisons: It’s a fine idea but it’s completely futile. Children are mandated under a legal threat of force to attend compulsory schools.

     The first step to addressing the oppressiveness of forced schooling and its harmful effects on children is to fight the compulsion. Rather than trying to improve the conditions of an inherently unjust, state-controlled system, the system itself must be overturned. After all, humans cannot be truly free when they are methodically, and legally, stripped of their freedom under the pretense that it’s good for all. (End)

     With the Miss Annabell’s teaching methods, our children would thrive! More validation of what needs to be done to save our future generations and our world. Thank you, Mark and Dr. Frank Wallace, for giving us this paradigm to contemplate and work toward making changes to bring it about.

331. Hey Wayne! WOW!! Love this message about the familiarity of ‘knowing’ people from past lives! I believe we have some of that going on in the Society for sure. The like-mindedness is important but the feelings of already knowing someone can sure come over you in this crowd. The way our little group of Renegade Rebel Rousers bonded from the very beginning here on this site is pretty amazing, really. And, of course, as we get to know more and more people to associate with … I believe it’s REAL!! Instant reactions to some people, positive or negative, can mean that we have met them somewhere before in another time and place. I experienced this at the Summit with a few ‘familiar strangers’ who were there and I made great connections with.

     Again, thanks for keeping this posting site going. I wanted to mention I appreciate it very much. It must be obvious by now (to myself at least) that I seem to have ‘lost heart’ for the game here for a bit. It’s not just the fact that practically no-one reads our stuff here. I’ve had a major creative block going I had to work through and get past. The stress and related negativity with the situation I found myself in with DD this past year in the TVP and related b.s. that went with all that up to and including the final confrontation with him at the Summit this year was simply ‘too much’. Although I took the opportunity to tearfully express my feelings over the entire situation on the School of Genius-Rise of Neo-Tech call a week after that event – I guess there has been a bit of a holding pattern to my thoughts, emotions and the basic reality of a decision as to the direction I wish to go here. In the spirit of total integrated honesty, I will say that I hope that something better for all of us in the Society comes out of the experience I personally endured to rid us of a very dark (and what I confronted was definitely an evil) presence. The great LIGHT that Neothink brings to the world must by its very nature attract the darkness … major example is Dr. Wallace. Great sorrow in my heart still remains over that reality for Mark, his family and all of us – as we learn just how much it is affecting all of us and the Society’s future growth in the present.

     Of course, my overall experience at the Summit was SUPER fantastic great – so the 5% of energy I spent dealing with the unnecessary drama of that confrontation (where I stood him down) and then sending my products home without offering them to the members was just part of the gig. Since coming home I’ve been slammed with business activities and also family dynamic changes. I’ve also been recovering from an injury I sustained the same morning of that call, so I was in quite a bit of physical pain when I described the situation that had occurred. So much for ‘higher consciousness’ – but I’m totally back on track, powered back up and ready to speak on tonight’s call. This past week my creativity showed back up when I spontaneously began writing some songs again. So, I thank you for your continued support, my Neo-Friend. And I’m so glad you and Cheryl are both doing well.

     Onward and upward as we head ever more rapidly into the Civilization of the Universe! Love and appreciate everyone who has supported and encouraged me to move forward (starting with Digger, Charlie and Kay) but there are so many of you who have reached out to me. Or from just being on the calls and speaking up. From my heart to all of yours … unending gratitude and thanks!! Just gotta keep moving … Rebel yell!

332. So has this ever happened to you? It has actually occurred (more than) several times to me, and it was almost like a flashback in time, like less than a nano-second of time, but never the less it happened and stuck in my memory for ever. The article comes from : Awareness Act, and discusses at least 5 signs that you have met someone from a past life.
     Our souls are eternal. We have lived many lives and will continue to live many more. While we don’t remember our past lives for the MOST part, there are people we come across who we feel we have known forever, and there is reason for this feeling. Our soul will recognize those from our past lives even if we ourselves don’t. If you experience any of the following things when meeting someone new are you meeting someone you have met before just in a different life. It might even be someone you have met a 100 times over. ( I should of asked Digger and Charlie if this reeks of mysticism) #1. You have a strong connection or repulsion instantly. Not everyone in your past will come up with a positive light. Have you ever met someone and instantly felt like you had to be their friend or if the opposite , like you couldn’t stand to be near them for some reason? This is why.
     #2 You feel as though you have known them forever even though you’ve only just met.. When you meet someone from your soul family, it will feel like you have known them for a long long time even though you technically haven’t. You might progress in your friendship much quicker than friendships with others. This is because your soul connection is leading you down a path together. #3 .. You can read them with ease . Even without words you can tell what the other is thinking. They know your thoughts and emotions without you having to actually express them. Nothing in this connection seems strained and everything just comes easily. #4 .. Their presence digs up emotions you don’t think you should be feeling. Sure, you don’t think you should be liking them this much or feel this way about them because your soul has all the feelings come flooding in. Something about being around this person feels powerful in more ways than you can explain. #5 .. You can see it their eyes….. Their eyes feel familiar to you. It’s as if you have looked into them a million times over . We all know the eyes are the mirrors of trhe soul, and this proves to be very true. Every person has unique iris patterns and when you meet someone you have met in a past life you just know. Finding someone from a past life is a wonderful thing and is a reminder that no matter how big the world is, those who are meant to come back to will Sure, not all connections are good ones , but boy, the good ones are amazing! The more lives you have lived, the bigger yours most likely is. Keep on sharing the love, thanks for reading . Thanks Mark for allowing this space to do so.

333. I don’t know much about Mark Musso, (actually if I found the right one listed , He has been the past president and CEO of the special Olympics Mo. for 18 years) but I like what he says: “You must have clarity of what you dream in order to get it. Do you have a clear vision?” Sounds a lot like “putting all the puzzle pieces together to form a whole picture” doesn’t it?

334. October 18, 1978
     =============
     At just 16 years old, William Martin Joel of Hicksville, Long Island, got his first taste of chart
     success playing piano on the Shangri-Las’ #1 hit “Leader of the Pack,”. At 18, he dropped
     out of high school to pursue a full-time career as a professional musician. After several
     years moving from band to band, he released his first solo album at age 22 in 1971, and
     then four more in quick succession after that, with ever-increasing success. Finally,
     on this day in 1978, Billy Joel earned his first #1 album when his sixth release,
     52nd Street, hit the top of the Billboard pop chart

     52nd Street was the highly anticipated follow-up to Joel’s 1977 breakthrough album The Stranger, which had achieved Platinum status and made Joel a household name on the strength of singles like “Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song),” “Just The Way You Are” and “She’s Always A Woman.” The Stranger surpassed Simon & Garfunkel’s Bridge Over Troubled Water as the biggest-selling album in Columbia Records history, but it just missed reaching #1 on the Billboard chart. 52nd Street, which included the radio hits “Big Shot,” “My Life” and “Honesty,” achieved that feat on November 18, 1978, and remained at the top of the charts for the next seven straight weeks, becoming the top-selling album of the year. It also went on to earn Billy Joel his first Album of the Year award at the 22nd Annual Grammy Awards in February 1980.

     Nearly half of the songs that would make up Billy Joel’s 1985 21-times Platinum Greatest Hits Volume I and II (1985) were already under his belt with the release of 52nd Street. The rest would come from the albums Glass Houses (1980), The Nylon Curtain (1982) and An Innocent Man (1983)—albums that would all be certified multi-Platinum. With the additional success of Joel’s 10th, 11th and 12th albums, The Bridge (1986), Storm Front (1989) and River of Dreams (1993), Billy Joel ranks as the sixth best-selling recording artist in American history with nearly 80 million albums sold, trailing only The Beatles, Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley, Led Zeppelin and The Eagles.

335. November 18, 1978
     ===============
     On this day in 1978, Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones led hundreds of his followers in a
     mass murder – suicide at their agricultural commune in a remote part of the South
     American nation of Guyana. Many of Jones’ followers willingly ingested a poison-laced
     punch while others were forced to do so at gunpoint. The final death toll at Jonestown
     that day was 909. A third of those who perished were children.

     Jim Jones was a charismatic churchman who established the Peoples Temple, a Christian sect, in Indianapolis in the 1950s. He preached against racism, and his integrated congregation attracted many African Americans. In 1965, he moved the group to Northern California, settling in Ukiah and after 1971 in San Francisco. In the 1970s, his church was accused by the media of financial fraud, physical abuse of its members and mistreatment of children. In response to the mounting criticism, the increasingly paranoid Jones invited his congregation to move with him to Guyana, where he promised they would build a socialist utopia. Three years earlier, a small group of his followers had traveled to the tiny nation to set up what would become Jonestown on a tract of jungle.

     Jonestown did not turn out to be the paradise their leader had promised. Temple members worked long days in the fields and were subjected to harsh punishments if they questioned Jones’ authority. Their passports were confiscated, their letters home censored and members were encouraged to inform on one another and forced to attend lengthy, late-night meetings. Jones, by then in declining mental health and addicted to drugs, was convinced the U.S. government and others were out to destroy him. He required Temple members to participate in mock suicide drills in the middle of the night.

     In 1978, a group of former Temple members and concerned relatives of current members convinced U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan, a Democrat of California, to travel to Jonestown and investigate the settlement. On November 17, 1978, Ryan arrived in Jonestown with a group of journalists and other observers. At first the visit went well, but the next day, as Ryan’s delegation was about to leave, several Jonestown residents approached the group and asked them for passage out of Guyana. Jones became distressed at the defection of his followers, and one of Jones’ lieutenants attacked Ryan with a knife. The congressman escaped from the incident unharmed, but Jones then ordered Ryan and his companions ambushed and killed at the airstrip as they attempted to leave. The congressman and four others were murdered as they boarded their charter planes.

     Back in Jonestown, Jones commanded everyone to gather in the main pavilion and commit what he termed a “revolutionary act.” The youngest members of the Peoples Temple were the first to die, as parents and nurses used syringes to drop a potent mix of cyanide, sedatives and powdered fruit juice into children’s throats. Adults then lined up to drink the poison-laced concoction while armed guards surrounded the pavilion.

     When Guyanese officials arrived at the Jonestown compound the next day, they found it carpeted with hundreds of bodies. Many people had perished with their arms around each other. A few residents managed to escape into the jungle as the suicides took place, while at least several dozen more Peoples Temple members, including several of Jones’ sons, survived because they were in another part of Guyana at the time.

336. November 17, 1968
     ===============
     On November 17, 1968, the Oakland Raiders scored two touchdowns in nine seconds to
     beat the New York Jets in The Super Bowl, but no one saw it because they were watching
     the movie Heidi instead. With just 65 seconds left to play, NBC switched off the game in
     favor of its previously scheduled programming – a made-for-TV version of the children’s
     story about a young girl and her grandfather in the Alps. Viewers were outraged, and they
     complained so vociferously that network execs learned a lesson they’ll never forget:
     “Whatever you do,” one said, “you better not leave an NFL football game.”

     The game between the Jets and the Raiders was already shaping up to be a classic.
     It featured two of the league’s best teams and 10 future Hall of Fame players. By the
     game’s last minute the two teams had traded the lead eight times. The game’s intensity
     translated into an unusual number of penalties and timeouts, which meant that it was
     running a bit long.

     With a little more than a minute left to play, the Jets kicked a 26-yard field goal that gave them
     a 32-29 lead. After the New York kickoff, the Raiders returned the ball to their own 23-yard line.
     What happened after that will go down in football history. Raiders quarterback Daryle Lamonica
     threw a 20-yard pass to halfback Charlie Smith; a facemask penalty moved the ball to the Jets’ 43;
     and on the next play, Lamonica passed again to Smith, who ran it all the way for a touchdown.
     The Raiders took the lead, 32-36. Then the Jets fumbled the kickoff, and Oakland’s Preston
     Ridlehuber managed to grab the ball and run it two yards for another touchdown. Oakland had
     scored twice in nine seconds, and the game was over: They’d won 43-32.

     But nobody outside the Oakland Coliseum actually saw any of this, because NBC went to
     commercial right after the Jets’ kickoff and never came back. Instead, they did what they’d
     been planning to do for weeks: At 7 PM, they began to broadcast a brand-new version of
     Heidi, a film they were sure would win them high ratings during November sweeps.
     Before the game began, network execs had talked about what they’d do if the
     game ran over its scheduled time, and they decided to go ahead with the
     movie no matter what. So, that’s what NBC programmer Dick Cline did.
     “I waited and waited,” he said later, “and I heard nothing. We came
     up to that magic hour and I thought, ‘Well, I haven’t been given
     any counter-order so I’ve got to do what we agreed to do.’”

     NBC execs had actually changed their minds, and were trying to get in touch with Cline to
     tell him to leave the game on until it was over. But all the telephone lines were busy.
     Thousands of people were calling the network to urge programmers to air Heidi
     as scheduled, and thousands more were calling to demand that the football
     game stay on the air. Football fans grew even more livid when NBC
     printed the results of the game at the bottom of the screen 20 minutes after
     the game ended. So many irate fans called NBC that the network’s switchboard blew.
     Undeterred, people started calling the telephone company, the New York Times and the NYPD,
     whose emergency lines they clogged for hours.

     Shortly after the Heidi debacle, the NFL inserted a clause into its TV contracts that guaranteed
     that all games would be broadcast completely in their home markets. For its part, NBC installed
     a new phone–the “Heidi Phone”–in the control room that had its own exchange and switchboard.
     Such a disaster, the network assured its viewers, would never be allowed to happen again.

337. October 16, 1959
     =============
     Did the young Austrian nun named Maria really take to the hills surrounding Salzburg to sing
     spontaneously of her love of music? Did she comfort herself with thoughts of copper kettles,
     and did she swoon to her future husband’s song about an alpine flower while the creeping
     menace of Nazism spread across central Europe? No, the real-life Maria von Trapp did none
     of those things. She was indeed a former nun, and she did indeed marry Count Georg von Trapp
     and become stepmother to his large brood of children, but nearly all of the particulars she
     related in her 1949 book, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, were ignored by the creators
     of the Broadway musical her memoir inspired. And while the liberties taken by the show’s
     writers, Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and by its composer and lyricist, Richard Rodgers
     and Oscar Hammerstein II, caused some consternation to the real Maria von Trapp and to
     her stepchildren, according to many later reports, those liberties made The Sound of Music a
     smash success from the very night of its Broadway opening on this day in 1959.

     With a creative team made up of Broadway legends and a star as enormously popular and
     bankable as Mary Martin, it was no surprise that The Sound of Music drew enormous
     advance sales. But audiences continued to flock to The Sound of Music despite
     sometimes tepid reviews, like the one in The New York Times that said the
     show “lacked the final exultation that marks the difference between a
     masterpiece and a well-produced musical entertainment.” Reviewer Brooks
     Atkinson did, however, single out the “affecting beauty” of the music from The Sound
     of Music as saving it from a story verging on “sticky.”

     Sticky or no, The Sound of Music was an instant success, and numerous
     songs from its score— including “Do Re Mi,” “My Favorite Things” and
     “Climb Every Mountain”—quickly entered the popular canon. Indeed,
     the original cast recording of The Sound of Music was nearly as big a
     phenomenon as the show itself. Recorded just a week after the show’s
     premiere on this day in 1959 and released by Columbia Records, the
     album shot to the top of the Billboard album charts on its way to
     selling upwards of 3 million copies worldwide.

338. October 15, 1956
     =============
     On this day in 1956, Love Me Tender – featuring the singer Elvis Presley in his big-screen
     debut – premiered in New York City at the Paramount Theater. Set in Texas following the
     American Civil War, the film, which co-starred Richard Egan and Debra Paget, featured
     Elvis as Clint Reno, the younger brother of a Confederate soldier. Originally titled The
     Reno Brothers, the movie was renamed Love Me Tender before its release, after a song of
     the same name that Reno sings during the film. Presley, who became one of the biggest
     icons in entertainment history, sang in the box-office hit Love Me Tender as well as the
     majority of the 33 movies (31 features and two theatrically released concert documentaries)
     he made in his career. Despite the commercial success of his films, many were considered
     formulaic and forgettable, and critics have argued that Elvis never achieved his full
     potential as an actor.

     Elvis Aaron Presley – who was born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi – began his music career with Sun Records in Memphis in 1954. In March 1956, he released his first album for RCA – ELVIS PRESLEY – which went to the top spot on Billboard’s pop album chart and launched him on his way to super-stardom. In late March of that same year, Presley had his first Hollywood screen test, for a movie called The Rainmaker. He failed to get the role, which went to Burt Lancaster, and instead began shooting Love Me Tender that August. Soon after, on September 9, 1956, Elvis made the first of three appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and the popular variety show received record-breaking ratings. (When Elvis made his third appearance on the program, the TV censors infamously allowed him to be shown only from the waist up, for fear his swiveling hips would scandalize the nation.)

     In November 1957, Presley’s third film, Jailhouse Rock, opened in theaters across the United States. The movie, which is considered by many critics to be one of his best, contains the now-iconic “cell block” dance production number, choreographed by Elvis and set to his song “Jailhouse Rock.” Elvis’s fourth movie, King Creole, was released in July 1958 and is also considered a standout, earning him some of the strongest reviews of his acting career. Co-starring Walter Matthau, Carolyn Jones, Vic Morrow and Dean Jagger, King Creole was helmed by Casablanca’s Michael Curtiz and based on a Harold Robbins novel called A Stone for Danny Fisher.

     The “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll”‘s eighth film, Blue Hawaii, debuted in 1961 and ushered in an era of Presley movies featuring lightweight plots, pretty girls and multiple musical numbers. Among his other films during this time are Fun in Acapulco (1963), Viva Las Vegas (1964), Clambake (1967) and The Trouble with Girls (1969). Elvis’s 29th movie, a Western called Charro! in which he sported a beard, was released in 1968 and is the one film in which he doesn’t sing on camera.

     Presley’s final feature film was Change of Habit (1970), in which he portrayed a doctor and
     Mary Tyler Moore played a nun. After suffering from health problems and drug dependency,
     Elvis died at the age of 42 on August 16, 1977, at Graceland, his home in Memphis, Tennessee.

339. October 14, 1851
     =============
     On this day, Harper & Brothers in New York published Moby-Dick, by Herman Melville.
     The book flopped, and it was many years before the book was recognized as an American classic.

     Melville was born in New York City in 1819. A childhood bout of scarlet fever left him with weakened
     eyes. At age 19, he became a cabin boy on a ship bound for Liverpool. He later sailed to the South
     Seas on a whaler, the Acushnet, which anchored in Polynesia. He took part in a mutiny, was
     thrown in jail in Tahiti, escaped, and wandered around the South Sea islands from
     1841 to 1844. In 1846, he published his first novel, Typee, based on his Polynesian adventures.
     His second book, Omoo (1847), also dealt with the South Seas. The two novels became popular,
     although his third, Mardi (1849), more experimental in nature, failed to catch on with the public.

     Melville bought a farm near Nathaniel Hawthorne’s house in Massachusetts, and the two
     became close friends, although they later drifted apart. Melville wrote for journals and
     continued to publish novels. Moby Dick was coolly received, but his short stories were
     highly acclaimed. Putnam’s Monthly published “Bartleby the Scrivener” in 1853 and
     “Benito Cereno” in 1855.

     In 1866, Melville won appointment as a customs inspector in New York, which brought
     him a stable income. He published several volumes of poetry. He continued to write
     until his death in 1891, and his last novel, Billy Budd, was not published until 1924.

340. October 13, 1955
     =============
     On this day in 1955, the actress, comedian and talk-show host Whoopi Goldberg
     was born in New York City. Goldberg earned an Oscar nomination for her
     Hollywood feature debut in Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple (1985)
     and went on become the first-ever solo female host of the Academy Awards.

     Born Caryn Johnson, Goldberg dropped out of high school, battled drug addiction, married at the age of 18, and had a daughter. In the mid-1970s, she moved to California and became involved in theater and stand-up comedy. She eventually developed a one-woman show of character monologues called The Spook Show and began touring the country. Renamed Whoopi Goldberg and directed by Mike Nichols, the show played to sold-out audiences on Broadway from 1984 to 1985. The director Steven Spielberg then cast Goldberg as Celie in The Color Purple, his big-screen adaptation of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1982 novel about an African-American woman growing up in the South during the early- to mid-1900s. The film received 11 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and a Best Actress nod for Goldberg. She went on to star in films such as Jumpin’ Jack Flash (1986) and Clara’s Heart (1988). She also continued to perform stand-up comedy, including a series of Comic Relief television benefits with her friends and fellow comics Billy Crystal and Robin Williams to raise money for organizations that help the homeless.

     Goldberg won her first Oscar – in the Best Supporting Actress category – for her role as psychic Oda Mae Brown in the 1990 blockbuster Ghost, co-starring Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. (Goldberg was just the second African-American to collect the Best Supporting Actress award. The first, Hattie McDaniel, won for her performance in 1939’s Gone With the Wind.) In 1992, Goldberg scored another box-office hit with Sister Act, in which she played a nightclub singer hiding out in a convent from the mob. During the 1990s, Goldberg also appeared in such films as Robert Altman’s movie-business parody The Player (1992); Made in America (1993), with her one-time paramour Ted Danson; Corrina, Corrina (1994), with Ray Liotta; Boys on the Side (1995), with Drew Barrymore and Mary-Louise Parker; and Ghosts of Mississippi (1996), about the trial of the assassinated civil-rights leader Medgar Evers. The dreadlocked entertainment dynamo had a recurring role on Star Trek: The Next Generation from 1988 to 1993 and hosted her own talk show from 1992 to 1993.

     In 1994, Goldberg became the first-ever solo female host of the Academy Awards, a job she
     repeated to largely positive reviews in 1996, 1999 and 2002. In September 2007, she signed
     on as a moderator of the daytime chatfest The View, taking over for the frequently
     controversial Rosie O’Donnell, who left the show. In addition to her TV and film work,
     Goldberg has continued to act and produce on Broadway.

     More than three years after its launch, the U.S. planetary probe Voyager 1 edged within
     77,000 miles of Saturn – the second-largest planet in the solar system. The photos
     beamed 950 million miles back to California stunned scientists. The high-resolution
     images showed a world that seemed to confound all known laws of physics. Saturn had
     not six, but hundreds of rings. The rings appeared to dance, buckle, and interlock in
     ways never thought possible. Two rings were intertwined, or “braided,” and pictures
     showed dark radial “spokes” moving inside the rings in the direction of rotation.
     Voyager 2, a sister spacecraft, arrived at Saturn in August 1981. The Voyagers also
     discovered three new moons around Saturn and a substantial atmosphere around
     Titan, Saturn’s largest moon.

     Voyager 1 was preceded to Saturn by Pioneer 11, a smaller and less sophisticated U.S. spacecraft that flew by the gas giant in September 1979. The Voyager spacecrafts were equipped with high-resolution television cameras that sent back more than 30,000 images of Saturn, its rings, and satellite. Voyager 1 was actually launched 16 days after Voyager 2, but its trajectory followed a quicker path to the outer planets.

     Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in March 1979, followed by Voyager 2 four months later. Both spacecraft then continued on to Saturn, with Voyager 1 arriving in November 1980 and Voyager 2 in August 1981. Voyager 2 was then diverted to the remaining gas giants, arriving at Uranus in January 1986 and Neptune in August 1989. Voyager 1, meanwhile, studied interplanetary space and continued on to the edge of the solar system.

     In February 1998, Voyager 1 became the most distant man-made object from the sun, surpassing the distance of Pioneer 10. Voyager 2 is also traveling out of the solar system but at a slower pace. Both Voyager spacecrafts contain a gold-plated copper disk that has on it recorded sounds and images of Earth. Along with 115 analog images, the disk features sound selections that include greetings in 55 languages, 35 natural and man-made sounds, and portions of 27 musical pieces. The Voyagers are expected to remain operable until about the year 2020, periodically sending back data on the edge of the solar system.

343. October 12, 1965
     =============
     On this day in 1965, brothers Bill and Bob Summers set a world land-speed record
     of 409.277 miles per hour on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. They did it in an
     amazing, hemi-powered hot rod they called the Goldenrod. (The car got its name
     from the ’57 Chevy gold paint the brothers used.) Today, the Goldenrod is on display
     at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.

     The Summers brothers — Bill was the levelheaded engineer and Bob was the daredevil driver — had
     been hot-rod racing near their home in Southern California and at the Bonneville Salt Flats for years.
     In 1963, they decided to get serious: if they could find the parts and equipment they needed to build
     the right car, they agreed, they would try to go faster than any man had ever gone. (The land-speed
     record at that time, 394.196 miles per hour, had been set by Briton John Cobb in 1947.)
     But the Summers brothers weren’t the only people to have this idea: In July 1964, Englishman Donald
     Campbell broke Cobb’s record (403.10 mph), and in 1964 and 1965, two American drivers used jet
     engines to go more than 600 miles per hour.

     But the Summers brothers thought that using jet engines was cheating: They believed, wrote one reporter, “that real cars were driven by friction between tires and the ground.” The brothers wanted their car to be as fast as possible by being as aerodynamic as possible, and it was: The finished Goldenrod was the sleekest, lowest, narrowest racer in history. It was 32 feet long, 48 inches wide and 42 inches tall, with a pointed nose and four 426 cubic-inch V8 hemi engines on loan from Chrysler. (Firestone Tire and Rubber donated the specially-built low-profile tires, and Mobil Oil provided the fuel.)

     The Goldenrod’s first six-mile run across the Bonneville Salt Flats broke Campbell’s record easily, averaging 417 miles per hour. To set an official record, however, a car must make two record-breaking runs, one out and one back, within an hour. With five minutes to spare, the yellow car headed across the desert for a second time. When she screamed past the timers, her achievement was official: she’d hit an average speed of 409.277 miles per hour.

     Because the Summers brothers had to return the Goldenrod’s engines to Chrysler, they never tried to break their own record. It stood until Al Teague’s supercharged Spirit of ’76 broke it until 1991. In 2002, the Henry Ford bought the Goldenrod, paying for the car’s restoration with a grant from the federal Save America’s Treasure’s Fund. The car is on display at the museum today.

344. November 11, 1885
     ===============
     George Smith Patton – one of the great American generals of
     World War II – was born on this day in San Gabriel, California.

     Patton came from a family with a long history of military service. After studying at West Point, he served as a tank officer in World War I, and his experience in that conflict, along with his extensive military study, led him to become an advocate of the crucial importance of the tank in future warfare. After the American entrance into World War II, Patton was placed in command of an important U.S. tank division and played a key role in the Allied invasion of French North Africa in 1942. In 1943, Patton led the U.S. Seventh Army in its assault on Sicily and won fame for out-commanding Montgomery during the so-called Race to Messina.

     Although Patton was one of the ablest American commanders in World War II, he was also one of the most controversial. He presented himself as a modern-day cavalryman, designed his own uniform, and was known to make eccentric claims that he was a direct descendant of great military leaders of the past through reincarnation. During the Sicilian campaign, Patton generated considerable controversy when he accused a hospitalized U.S. soldier suffering from battle fatigue of cowardice and then personally struck him across the face. The famously profane general was forced to issue a public apology and was reprimanded by General Dwight Eisenhower.

     However, when it was time for the invasion of Western Europe, Eisenhower could find no general as formidable as Patton, and the general was again granted an important military post. In 1944, Patton commanded the U.S. Third Army in the invasion of France, and in December of that year his expertise in military movement and tank warfare helped crush the German counteroffensive in the Ardennes.

     During one of his many successful campaigns, General Patton was said to have declared,
     “Compared to war, all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance.”
     On December 21, 1945, he died in a hospital in Germany from injuries
     sustained in an automobile accident near Mannheim Germany.
     ====================

345. November 11, 1918
     ==============
     At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the Great War ended.
     At 5 a.m. that morning, Germany – bereft of manpower and supplies and faced with imminent
     invasion – signed an armistice agreement with the Allies in a railroad car outside
     Compiégne, France. The First World War left nine million soldiers dead
     and 21 million wounded, with Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary,
     France, and Great Britain each losing nearly a million or more
     lives. In addition, at least five million civilians died from
     disease, starvation, or exposure.

     On June 28, 1914, in an event that is widely regarded as sparking the outbreak of World War I, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire, was shot to death with his wife by Bosnian Serb Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Ferdinand had been inspecting his uncle’s imperial armed forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, despite the threat of Serbian nationalists who wanted these Austro-Hungarian possessions to join newly independent Serbia. Austria-Hungary blamed the Serbian government for the attack and hoped to use the incident as justification for settling the problem of Slavic nationalism once and for all. However, as Russia supported Serbia, an Austro-Hungarian declaration of war was delayed until its leaders received assurances from German leader Kaiser Wilhelm II that Germany would support their cause in the event of a Russian intervention.

     On July 28, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, and the tenuous peace between Europe’s great powers collapsed. On July 29, Austro-Hungarian forces began to shell the Serbian capital, Belgrade, and Russia, Serbia’s ally, ordered a troop mobilization against Austria-Hungary. France, allied with Russia, began to mobilize on August 1. France and Germany declared war against each other on August 3. After crossing through neutral Luxembourg, the German army invaded Belgium on the night of August 3-4, prompting Great Britain, Belgium’s ally, to declare war against Germany.

     For the most part, the people of Europe greeted the outbreak of war with jubilation. Most patriotically assumed that their country would be victorious within months. Of the initial belligerents, Germany was most prepared for the outbreak of hostilities, and its military leaders had formatted a sophisticated military strategy known as the “Schlieffen Plan,” which envisioned the conquest of France through a great arcing offensive through Belgium and into northern France. Russia, slow to mobilize, was to be kept occupied by Austro-Hungarian forces while Germany attacked France.

     The Schlieffen Plan was nearly successful, but in early September the French rallied and halted the German advance at the bloody Battle of the Marne near Paris. By the end of 1914, well over a million soldiers of various nationalities had been killed on the battlefields of Europe, and neither for the Allies nor the Central Powers was a final victory in sight. On the western front—the battle line that stretched across northern France and Belgium—the combatants settled down in the trenches for a terrible war of attrition.

     In 1915, the Allies attempted to break the stalemate with an amphibious invasion of Turkey, which had joined the Central Powers in October 1914, but after heavy bloodshed the Allies were forced to retreat in early 1916. The year 1916 saw great offensives by Germany and Britain along the western front, but neither side accomplished a decisive victory. In the east, Germany was more successful, and the disorganized Russian army suffered terrible losses, spurring the outbreak of the Russian Revolution in 1917. By the end of 1917, the Bolsheviks had seized power in Russia and immediately set about negotiating peace with Germany. In 1918, the infusion of American troops and resources into the western front finally tipped the scale in the Allies’ favor. Germany signed an armistice agreement with the Allies on November 11, 1918.

     World War I was known as the “war to end all wars” because of the great slaughter and
     destruction it caused. Unfortunately, the peace treaty that officially ended the
     conflict—the Treaty of Versailles of 1919—forced punitive terms on Germany
     that destabilized Europe and laid the groundwork for World War II.

     On this day in 1969, Sesame Street – a pioneering TV show that would teach generations
     of young children the alphabet and how to count – made its broadcast debut.

     Sesame Street – with its memorable theme song (“Can you tell me how to get/How to
     get to Sesame Street”) – went on to become the most widely viewed children’s program
     in the world. It has aired in more than 120 countries.

     The show was the brainchild of Joan Ganz Cooney, a former documentary producer for public television. Cooney’s goal was to create programming for preschoolers that was both entertaining and educational. She also wanted to use TV as a way to help underprivileged 3- to 5- year-olds prepare for kindergarten. “Sesame Street” was set in a fictional New York neighborhood and included ethnically diverse characters and positive social messages.

     Taking a cue from “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In,” a popular 1960s variety show, “Sesame Street” was built around short, often funny segments featuring puppets, animation and live actors. This format was hugely successful, although over the years some critics have blamed the show and its use of brief segments for shrinking children’s attention spans.

     From the show’s inception, one of its most-loved aspects has been a family of puppets known as Muppets. Joan Ganz Cooney hired puppeteer Jim Henson (1936-1990) to create a cast of characters that became Sesame Street institutions, including Bert and Ernie, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, Grover and Big Bird.

     The subjects tackled by “Sesame Street” have evolved with the times. In 2002, the South African version of the program, “Takalani Sesame,” introduced a 5-year-old Muppet character named Kami who is HIV-positive, in order to help children living with the stigma of a disease that has reached epidemic proportions. In 2006, a new Muppet, Abby Cadabby, made her debut and was positioned as the show’s first female star character, in an effort to encourage diversity and provide a strong role model for girls.

     Since its inception, over 74 million Americans have watched “Sesame Street.” Today, an
     estimated 8 million people tune in to the show each week in the U.S. alone.

347. October 10, 1975
     =============
     On this day, the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sunk 17 miles from the entrance to
     Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior, taking all 29 crew members with her.

     At the time of its launch in 1958, the 729-foot-long freighter was the largest and fastest ship on the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald began its last journey on November 9, 1975, carrying 26,116 tons of iron-ore pellets. The next day, the ship and her crew met a storm with 60 mph winds and waves in excess of 15 feet. Captain Ernest McSorley steered the ship north, heading for the safety of Whitefish Bay, but the ship’s radar failed, and the storm took out the power to Whitefish Point’s radio beacon, leaving the Fitzgerald traveling blind. In the heavy seas, the vessel was also taking on a dangerous amount of water. Another ship, the Anderson, kept up radio contact with the Fitzgerald and tried to lead it to safety but to no avail.

     Just after 7 p.m. on November 10, the Fitzgerald made its last radio transmission. Presumably, the ship, which was taking on water, was forced lower and lower into the water until its bow pitched down into the lake and the vessel was unable to recover. None of the 29 men aboard survived.

     The Edmund Fitzgerald now lies under 530 feet of water, broken in two sections. On July 4, 1995, the ship’s bell was recovered from the wreck, and a replica, engraved with the names of the crew members who perished in this tragedy, was left in its place. The original bell is on display at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum at Whitefish Point in Michigan.

348. October 9, 1990
     ============
     “We try to work with taxpayers,” Internal Revenue Service spokeswoman Valerie Thornton
     told The New York Times in the autumn of 1991, “and if we have to come up with some
     creative payment plan, that’s what we’re going to do, because it’s in everyone’s best interest.
     ” The creative payment plan to which Ms. Thornton was referring in her statement to the
     Times involved a unique revenue-sharing agreement negotiated between the IRS and the
     beloved country singer Willie Nelson, who was then struggling to repay a $16.7 million
     dollar tax debt that had led the federal government to seize all of his assets one year earlier,
     on this day in 1990.

     Willie Nelson landed himself in tax trouble as a result of investments he made in the early 1980s in a tax shelter later ruled illegal by the IRS. With interest and penalties on top of his original unpaid taxes, Nelson was facing a tax bill in excess of $16 million, and though his lawyers convinced the IRS to accept a $6 million cash payment to settle the entire debt, even this was more than Nelson was able to pay, despite being perhaps the most bankable country-music star of the day. “He didn’t have $1 million—he probably didn’t have $30,000,” his daughter, Lana Nelson, told Texas Monthly magazine of her famously generous and free-spending father. In anticipation of negotiations with the IRS breaking down, Willie Nelson had his daughter remove his beloved guitar, Trigger, from his Texas home and ship it to him in Hawaii, where he was golfing when the feds raided his home on November 9, 1990. “As long as I got my guitar,” Willie Nelson said, “I’ll be fine.”

     Ultimately, Nelson did get to keep his guitar and even got his Texas ranch back, but not before the government auctioned his home to the highest bidder in January 1991. That bidder, however, was a Nelson fan who purchased the ranch at the behest of a group of farmers who threw their support behind Nelson in thanks for his work in organizing the Farm Aid charitable concerts.

     In June 1991, Nelson released a compilation album entitled The IRS Tapes: Who’ll Buy My Memories?, the first and perhaps last major-label record album ever released under a strict revenue-sharing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service. While the revenues generated by The IRS Tapes did not come close to settling the debt on its own, Nelson did manage to retire his debt to the federal government by 1993.

349. Jokes that should be funny but really aren’t.
     from parting shots, American Legion Mag.
     A little girl asked her father, “Daddy, do all fairy tales begin with “Once upon a time?”
     He replied , “No, there is a whole series of fairy tales that begin ” If I am elected, I promise”.
     Did you ever notice that when you put the words “The” and “IRS ” together, they spell “theirs”?

350. WARNING ! This post may be long and boring so you may want to skip ahead if your pressed for time.
     Veteran’s Day, 11/11/17.
     Every year around this time we pay tribute to this nation’s veterans , past and present for the service they give to protect this country. Today I do not wish to bore you with my story, but about a few who I had the pleasure and privilege of serving with, and some of the ordeals they had to suffer. If any of these gentlemen are still alive today, they would be in there mid to late 90’s, but they were my heroes. There are a million unsung and untold stories out there, but these I have experienced first hand and try to tell as close as they were relayed to me. All of these gentlemen shared the mannerisms , all were exceptionally quiet and dignified and extremely private individuals. (Story #1) SM/SGT R.E.T. (AKA) Tommie. He was my “boss” for four years. While serving in WW11, he served as a tail gunner on a B-?? aircraft in the Pacific, and on this particular day encountered a squadron of enemy fighters, and he was sitting in turret section when suddenly he found himself repelled out and tumbling in mid air. He claimed not to remember much from that point, but the entire tail section had been blown off. The rest of the crew and the plane were lost at sea, yet he lived to tell the tale. …….Story # 2… For years I worked side by side with N.T.. He was quite a bit older than me, but we shared the same rank, however his dress uniform indicated that he was a well seasoned veteran. He quietly went about his tasks and never complained , was a good family man with five kids and a wife. Back in the 50’s and 60’s , base pay and housing allowances were not that good. He was aware that at my discharge date I had been issued two NEW Air Force dress blues, so I gave him one of mine. He once told me a story about how in his previous years he had a serious drinking problem but it saved his life. At the end of the Korean war, he was scheduled to fly back to the main land but had drank way too much the night before, so as he was feeling bad any way, he was sitting in base ops when they announced it was time to depart, but sat there frozen unable to move as a line up of comrades lined up to board the old “Goon Bird”. Two hours later it was broadcast that flight ? was missing, and as it turned out, It crashed approximately three hundred short of clearing a mountain side, and everyone on board was killed. At a later date he was court martialed , stripped of all his rank, but allowed to finish out retirement. Story # Three. This story actually has no beginning or end. so I will just call it an odd experience. One afternoon while hanging out in the barracks, We were to hurriedly get dressed and report to Hanger # 1 within the hour. It seemed that the base was getting an unexpected visitor in the person of General Curtiss Lemay, who at the time was commander of SAC( Strategic Air Command) As we stood at full attention, he swooped down the inspection line like an old hawk, suddenly spun on his heels , went back two steps, broke out in a grin, stuck his hand to Sgt. K. B , and said ‘ How the hell are you , Kenny? Wouldn’t you LOVE to hear the rest of THAT story!……Story # 4. As told by Wm. H. Macy on the Colbert show a few nights ago. He relayed the story how his dad never discussed his past, but on a trip one time, his dad wouldn’t shut up and told him how he was a B-17 pilot on a routine mission, and thinking that everything was great, he reached down to pick up a thermos bottle he carried near his feet. As he raised up, he noticed the sudden rush of air to his left and there was a huge hole in the canopy, and when he turned to the right, there was another hole the same size where the bullet had exited, also where his head had been just a second before Time for summation: At this point in time many Americans are feeling country is going to hell in a hand basket, but there are millions of unsung heroes in our midst who never have or never will ask for any special recognition They want nothing more to protect their families and loved ones and to be offered the opportunity to live a happy and prosperous life they were meant to live. Who knows, you may be standing next to one of those heroes right now. Several years ago, My mentor in the society sent me of the most heart warming personal notes I have ever received. It was after a trip to New York (New Jersey ) where a country boy was overwhelmed with emotion as we flew over the Statue of Liberty and admired the Manhattan Skyline for the first time, and how proud I was to live in this once proud nation we refer to as the USA, and as country boy not involved in the daily life of living in the city. perhaps I was more grounded by adding a different view of perspective. Thanks for reading, forgive the spelling and grammatical errors, and don’t forget to share the love. And don’t forget to thank a veteran, they are probably much closer than you think.

351. October 8, 1962
     ============
     On this day in 1962, the famous Ford Rotunda stood in Dearborn, Michigan for the last time,
     The next day, it was destroyed in a massive fire. Some 1.5 million people visited the Rotunda
     each year, making it the fifth most popular tourist attraction in the U.S. (behind Niagara Falls,
     Smokey Mountain National Park, the Smithsonian, and the Lincoln Memorial).

     Ford had commissioned the Rotunda for the 1933 Century of Progress exposition in Chicago and had moved it to Dearborn when the fair ended. It was 130 feet high and designed to look like a stack of gears surrounding a 92-foot-wide courtyard. (In 1952, an 18,000-pound dome was added over the courtyard; it was the first real-world application of inventor R. Buckminster Fuller’s lightweight geodesic dome.) Outside, the building’s steel frame was covered in 114,000 square feet of Indiana limestone; inside, the walls were covered in murals showing the River Rouge assembly line. On the Rotunda’s grounds were 19 “reproductions” of what Ford called the Roads of the World — the Appian Way, the Grand Trunk Road, the Oregon Trail and Detroit’s Woodward Avenue.

     Many people who grew up near Detroit during the 1950s remember the Rotunda for its spectacular Christmas displays. Every year since 1953, it had had a 37-foot-tall tree, an elaborate Santa’s workshop and a life-size Nativity that the National Council of Churches called the “largest and finest” in the country. Each year’s installation had a different theme: the 1958 display boasted a 15,000-piece hand-carved miniature circus, for instance, and the 1962 show was scheduled to be a woodland tableau featuring 2,500 dolls.

     While workmen were preparing the Rotunda for that display, someone overturned a firepot or heater on the building’s tar roof. Just after lunch, an employee spotted flames on the ceiling of the main floor. “Within a few minutes after the first alarm,” The New York Times reported, “the octagonal top of the building resembled a huge chimney, with smoke and fumes pouring out.” Workers evacuated, and the building burned to the ground in less than an hour. A group of schoolchildren visiting the Rotunda from South Bend watched in horror from a cafeteria across the street.

     It would have cost at least $15 million to rebuild the Rotunda. The company opted not to spend the money, and razed the building’s remains instead. Today, a satellite campus of the Michigan Technical Education Center stands in its place.

353. November 7, 1980
     ==============
     On this day in 1980, the actor Steve McQueen – one of Hollywood’s leading men of the 1960s and 1970s and the star of such action thrillers as Bullitt and The Towering Inferno – died at the age of 50 in Mexico where he was undergoing an experimental treatment for cancer. In 1979, McQueen had been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a type of cancer often related to asbestos exposure. It was later believed that the ruggedly handsome actor, who had an affinity for fast cars and motorcycles, might have been exposed to asbestos by wearing racing suits.

     Terrence Steven McQueen was born on March 24, 1930, in Beech Grove, Indiana. After a troubled youth that included time in reform school, McQueen served in the U.S. Marine Corps in the late 1940s. He then studied acting and began competing in motorcycle races. He made his big-screen debut with a tiny role in 1956’s Somebody Up There Likes Me, starring Paul Newman. McQueen went on to appear in the camp classic The Blob (1958) and gained fame playing a bounty hunter in the TV series Wanted: Dead or Alive, which originally aired on CBS from 1958 to 1961.

     During the 1960s, McQueen built a reputation for playing cool, loner heroes in a list of films that included the Western The Magnificent Seven (1960), which was directed by John Sturges and also featured Yul Brynner and Charles Bronson; The Great Escape (1963), in which McQueen played a U.S. solider in World War II who makes a daring motorcycle escape from a German prison camp; and The Sand Pebbles (1966), a war epic for which he received a Best Actor Oscar nomination. McQueen played a detective in one of his most popular movies, 1968’s Bullitt, which featured a spectacular car chase through the streets of San Francisco. That same year, the actor portrayed an elegant thief in The Thomas Crown Affair.

     In the 1970s, McQueen was one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors and starred in hit films such as director Sam Peckinpah’s The Getaway (1972) with Ali MacGraw, to whom McQueen was married from 1973 to 1978; Papillon (1973), with Dustin Hoffman; and The Towering Inferno (1974), with Paul Newman, William Holden and Faye Dunaway.

     In the summer of 1980, McQueen traveled to Rosarito Beach, Mexico, where he underwent an unorthodox cancer treatment that involved, among other things, coffee enemas and a therapy derived from apricot pits. On November 6, 1980, he had surgery to remove cancerous masses from his body; he died the following day. His final films were Tom Horn and The Hunter, both of which were released in 1980.

354. November 7, 1991
     ==============
     On this day in 1991, basketball legend Earvin “Magic” Johnson stuned the world by announcing
     his sudden retirement from the Los Angeles Lakers, after testing positive for HIV – the virus
     that causes AIDS. At the time, many Americans viewed AIDS as a gay white man’s disease.
     Johnson (1959- ), who is African American and heterosexual, was one of the first sports
     stars to go public about his HIV-positive status.

     Revered as one of the greatest basketball players of all time, Johnson spent his entire 13-season NBA career with the Lakers, helping them to win five championships in the 1980s. The 6’9″ point guard, a native of Lansing, Michigan, was famous for his extraordinary passing skills, contagious smile and love of the game. In 1981, he signed a 25-year deal with the Lakers for $25 million, one of the NBA’s first over-the-top contracts.

     Johnson, a three-time NBA “Most Valuable Player” and 12-time All-Star team member, didn’t completely hang up his basketball shoes after announcing his retirement in 1991. He was voted most valuable player of the 1992 NBA All-Star Game and played on the Olympic “Dream Team” (alongside Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Patrick Ewing) that won gold for the U.S. in Barcelona that summer. He briefly returned to the Lakers for the 1993-94 season as head coach and made a short-lived comeback as a Lakers player in the 1995-96 season.

     Today, Johnson is a prominent spokesman for AIDS awareness and a successful businessman, earning millions from a range of ventures, including movie theaters and restaurants. He serves as an example of how a variety of drug treatments have transformed AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition for many people in the U.S. Still, some 25 years after the first AIDS cases were reported, 25 million people worldwide have died of AIDS and another 40 million have been infected with the virus.

355. Feeling a bit nostalgic today. Let’s talk about “LOUD, F—–G PROUD !!!!! Sense I seem to have this Wiki page all to my self, The fear of censorship doesn’t worry me too much. The subject matter is about last night’s CMA’s . You see, in the last few years it seemed that “Traditional” country music had been flushed down the tubes and had all but disappeared. I will be the very first to tell you I am proud of my country roots, and also the first to admit I couldn’t wait to escape all that wholesome fresh country air and try my wings to discover the “other” world. We “thought” we were just poor hardworking country folk who derived our living from Mother Earth earned from the fruits of our labor. But then I arrived in the real world and seen what real poverty, hardship and freedom really looked like, and it was nothing like I had ever experienced in the Ozark hills of rural Missouri. I don’t know what your child of the past and even your teen or young adult lives were like because I never experienced them, but I sincerely HOPE they were a lot like mine. It always seemed to me that in times of adversity, country folk seemed to come together with stronger passion, conviction , determination, and a willingness to share the love. Last nights performance brought a tear to my eye. I witnessed visually a sort of healing and bonding taking place among the entertainers and the audience as they reflected back at this year of almost unimaginable tragedies, trying to heal through their souls and minds to repair what a very small part of our population is so desperately trying to destroy. Believe me, I have given this a lot of forethought and it still boils down to the teachings and philosophy of Neo-Think, (OK, not so much of a philosophy, but a mind set ) that without Politics, Religion and the greedy corporations and elite, We the people, Honest People, Common people who are value creators, Every man, woman and child would continue to bond in unity and seek what matters most., Good health, Prosperity, Peace and most important, LOVE. So you say, It was just an awards show, however it did feel a little like some intervention, awakening , a slight rise in higher consciousness with a slight touch of transcendence tossed in? Thanks Mark Hamilton for allowing this space to voice my thoughts on such trivial things. Spread the love!

356. My post today may be a little off beat for many, but it struck a nerve with me, so here goes. Beyond the physical journey our health relies on mental conditioning and in todays society there can be vivid and popular images that maybe contain subliminal messages to create negative mental pictures. An example of that was posted on fb today about 10 most watched movies of all time that carry messages of depression and heartache yet have enjoyed great popularity. Not a huge movie fan, I am in no way able to explain what affects there followers, however, one that was used as an example was “Frozen” a Disney animated movie, and the song “Let it go”. Without printing the entire song on this page, I will just highlight some the verses from this widely popular song.
     The song by the way was written by Idena Menzel. Let it go, let it go
     Cant hold it back no more
     Let it go, let it go,
     Turn my back and slam the door.
     The snow blows white on the mountain tonight
     Not a footprint to be seen
     A kingdom of Isolation, and looks like I’m the Queen
     The wind is howling like the swirling storm inside couldn’t keep it in
     heaven knows I try.
     Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
     be the good girl you always had to be
     Conceal , don’t feel , don’t let them know
     Well now they know. ) It’s funny how some distance makes everything seen seem small
     and the fears that once controlled me cant get to me at all
     Up here in the cold thin air, I finally can breathe
     I know I left a life behind, but I am too relieved to grieve.
     The cold never bothered me anyway, Standing frozen in the life I’ve chosen ,
     you won’t find me , buried in the snow. Let it go , here I stand, let it go let it let it go. (End)
     So what is my point? Well for one thing I have personally witnessed my own great grand children not even 2 years old , sit in front of a giant TV screen mouthing the words and absorbing the feelings of a severely depressed person all alone on a mountain side, and so , when does this type of mental brain washing begin? The day they are born? I hope I am going overboard with this , yet cant help but feel there are those adults as well as there children smiling and stumbling aimlessly UNAWARE of what is occurring in a A/C environmental world. Thanks for letting me voice my opinion, and I am always open to criticism . Meanwhile, if it’s LOVE that makes the world go round, we need desperately to get back in alignment. I am trying to do my part.

357. November 6, 1854
     ==============
     John Philip Sousa did not invent the musical genre he came to personify, but even if no other
     composer had ever written a single piece in the same style, the standard repertoire of the
     American marching band would be little changed. The instantly recognizable sound of
     Sousa’s timeless pieces — ”The Washington Post” (1889), “The Liberty Bell” (1893),
     and “Stars And Stripes Forever” (1896) — is permanently etched in many
     Americans’ memory banks. One of the most popular, prolific and
     important American composers of all time, John Philip
     Sousa—”the March King” — was born in Washington, D.C., on this day in 1854

     The son of a United States Marine Band trombonist, John Philip Sousa began his musical education at the age of six, but his musical and political sensibilities were shaped as much by external events as by his formal training. Raised in the nation’s capital during the Civil War, Sousa was exposed to military music on a regular basis, and at a time when the role of military bands was not merely to provide entertainment and stoke patriotic fervor among civilians, but sometimes to accompany actual marches onto the field of combat. Following the war, Sousa served a seven-year apprenticeship in the Marine Band and then returned as the group’s Director in 1880. It was in the late 1880s that he began to make his name not just as the conductor of America’s oldest professional musical organization, but as a composer in the patriotic style of music he’d been immersed in since childhood

     Sousa composed upwards of 300 diverse musical works in his long and prosperous career, but it is his 136 marches for which he is best known. After leaving the Marine Band, he became the leader of his own group, the Sousa Band, which he led from 1892 until shortly before his death in 1932. Ironically, although it was a major international concert draw traveling the world and playing its conductor’s famous marches, the Sousa Band rarely ever marched. It did, however, make John Philip Sousa a very wealthy and famous individual, as well as making his very name synonymous with some of the most quintessentially American music ever written.

358. October 5, 1994
     ============
     On November 5, 1994, 45-year-old George Foreman knocked out 26-year-old Michael Moorer
     to become the oldest heavyweight champ in the history of boxing. Foreman had been the champ
     once before, until Muhammed Ali took the belt from him in 1974’s “Rumble in the Jungle,” but he’d
     taken 10 years off from boxing to become an evangelical preacher, pitchman for mufflers and
     hamburgers, and sitcom star. Moorer, for his part, was a young lefty with a 35-0 record who
     expected to coast through the bout, collect a hefty paycheck and retire a champion.
     And he was coasting through the bout, until Foreman floored him in the 10th round.
     Though the older man was no longer the fighter he had once been, he was fighter
     enough. As one columnist observed – “Moorer floated like an elephant and got his
     trunk shoved down his throat.”

     The fight almost didn’t happen: At first, the World Boxing Association had refused to sanction it, mostly because of Foreman’s age but also in part because of his abysmal record in recent fights. Foreman’s promoter sued the W.B.A. and won, on the grounds that age discrimination is illegal, and the fight was allowed to proceed.

     When Foreman entered the ring at the M-G-M Grand in Las Vegas that night, he wore the same red velour shorts he’d worn in Zaire 20 years before. (“These are the shorts that I fought in when I was heavyweight champion of the world,” he explained. “They are short and make you look a little chubby, but I fought Muhammed Ali in these shorts.”) Moorer, by contrast, wore a brand-new pair of shiny gold trunks. From the beginning of the fight, he seemed to have the advantage: He was 19 years younger, 28 pounds lighter and a whole lot quicker. On all three judges’ scorecards, he was in the lead for nine rounds, and he’d rattled Foreman with 259 sharp right jabs. (He threw 641 punches in all; Foreman threw only 369.)

     But Foreman had a plan. He worried that if he knocked Moorer down too early in the fight, the younger man would have time to bounce back. So he bided his time, and in the 10th he got his chance: He clocked Moorer hard and straight on the chin with his right hand. Moorer was down for the count, and the middle-aged Foreman was the champ.

     Today, the affable Foreman is still a minister and rancher in Texas and the father of five daughters and five sons named George. He’s also the spokesman for the incredibly popular line of George Foreman indoor grills.

359. From : The Reflection of Mind.org It seems a lot of us are experiencing some trials and tribulations these days, I found this article interesting. Is you soul tired? We all have times when we are feeling chronically tired and in desperate need of rest, but if this persists, it could be a sign your soul is tired. Even if you are getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep every night , if your soul is tired you are still going to wake up everyday feeling low and depleted of energy. When your soul is tired, it is often a sign that you are living out of alignment with your purpose. Your soul energy flows within you and when you lose connection to this flow, your energy can become weakened almost like that inner flame within you starts to flicker out. Most of us know when our soul is tired by the way we feel each day, but here is another way to determine if your soul is tired. Rub your hands together quickly for a moment to generate your and electric charge between your hands . After rubbing your hands together for 30 seconds slowly separate your hands Do you feel a warmth or strong buzz coming from your hands? Keep separating your hands further and further apart until you can no longer feel the energy between them. If you feel no energy , or you hands stop before they reach about shoulder width, it can very well be a sign that your energy is depleted and your soul is tired. Some of the top things that can make your soul feel tired include: Not being true to yourself, Saying Yes, when you really mean NO! Doing something that doesn’t fulfil your purpose, Engaging in petty arguments and gossip, Hanging around toxic people, partners, or friends., Negative self talk, Holding on to the past. , Surrounding yourself in clutter, Wanting or feeling a lack of self-love. All of these things can take a toll on your soul and cause you to feel out of alignment with your higher purpose. When your soul is tired for a prolonged period of time, it can also manifest as depression , a lack of motivation, a loss of psychic gifts or intuition and can even breed addictive or obsessive behavior. If your soul is feeling tired , it is very important to make some changes, and the 1st step is to identify the root of the problem, and once you have identified the cause you can then make changes to address, Some additional suggestions that can fix a tired soul are: Recharge your energy using crystals, Cleanse your aura, Conduct a spiritual cleanse, Meditate, Get creative, Do something that feels good, Practice positive self talk and loving affirmations, and SELF LOVE !!! When you soul is tired , it can be difficult to work up the energy to pull yourself out of your funk and into a place of healing, but once you start the process you will be amazed at how quickly and easily your soul generate. There is NOTHING it can’t handle even if its a little tired. Remember the term SELF LOVE?

360. Sunday 11/5/17. Got an extra hour today, so my posts may be a little longer today. Looking through my notes and decided to address some of the subjects covered by Digger and Charlie. Recently Digger questioned this member ship if they truly understood the meaning of “Initiatory Force”? I must have missed his explanation. So. right or wrong, here is mine. In the 14-15 Neo-Tech- Neo- Think books on my bookshelf, approximately 10 % of that literature is devoted to initiatory force and mysticisms, yet a definitive answer would be hard to define. Webster’s defines” Initiatory” as constituting a beginning or tending or serving to initiate, to start, of being able to set things going for the FIRST time, and can be fraud and coercion, serving to initiate or introducing a beginning. Force is a much more complicated word to explain. #1 answer has to do with violence such as rape and physical harm etc, but also can be of a moral or intellectual means, and compel , coerce, constrain, and oblige. So what else can it mean? “The purpose of human life is to prosper and live happily . We just want to live our lives without government. religion and politics or even individuals forcing there will on us through fraud or coercion and we will only defend ourselves for what is morally and legally justified for our own protection and existence. That is my take on the subject. Due to the limited amount of interest in this page, I would expect no response in return, but our Wiki page still has a place to share our values and ideas , and some of our deepest thoughts. Share the love.(And I don’t understand why more people are not showing an interest in this space of unlimited opportunities. Was it partially because of force and coercion? ) Mentors are not ALWAYS right, and even if they consider them selves Zons, they do not possess all the wisdom in the Universe). Moving on!

361. Night after night in the mentoring sessions, the subject of mysticisms appears. Dr. Wallace and Mark Hamilton in their writings has said until we are free of mysticisms, the society can not move forward, and by our admission the biggest challenge most of us has is to overcome that need for an external authority to blame our problems on. So with that in mind I wanted to pass along something Stephen Hawking said: He said “God does not exist and the Universe is not his creation”. Ever since we became sentient beings, man has wondered about the creation of the Universe. Since time immortal , man has believed that the Universe needed a certain divine intervention. Yet. with the coming of modern technology and the evolution of our rational ability, it is nearly confirmed that a huge explosion was involved in the conception of the Universe However we still don’t have conclusive evidence to prove what happened prior to a supposed big bang. One of the brightest minds of our time, Hawking fiercely agrees with the bib bang theory . However, as the guest of honor at the Starmus Astrophysics festival, he created quite a stir by stating that god does not exist. Further in his book, “The Grand Design” he states ” The Universe began with the Big Bang , which simply followed the inevitable law of physics . Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing.. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing. why the Universe exists and why we exist. The Universe didn’t need a god to begin, it was quit capable of launching it’s existence on it’s own. ” In his book “A Brief History of Time” Hawking further talks about anticipating a time when everyone will be onboard with his theory, and says “If we do discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable in broad principle by everyone not just a few scientists, then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people will be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the Universe exists. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason. For then we would know the mind of God. The question is : Is the way the Universe began chosen by God for reasons we can’t understand, or was it determined by the law of science? “I believe the second” he explained “If you like , you can call the laws of science “God” but it wouldn’t be a personal God that you could meet and ask questions.” I will leave you with your personal thoughts on this one, but share the love.

362. October 4, 1978
     ============
     Disco was at the absolute zenith of its popularity in 1978, and with the likes of even
     Barbra Streisand, Frankie Valli and Rod Stewart falling under its intoxicating spell,
     the party showed no signs of letting up. But then along came Anne Murray, a
     Canadian balladeer whose sincere pop-country sensibility offered a rather stark
     musical counterpoint to the prevailing mood. In a year generally associated with
     artists like Chic and Donna Summer, Anne Murray achieved the biggest hit of her
     long pop career when “You Needed Me” hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1978

     As far away as the sentimental, country-tinged “You Needed Me” was stylistically from the dance-all-night hedonism of disco, the woman who sang it was even further. Born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, Anne Murray was a former physical-education teacher and a married, 33-year-old mother when she scored the biggest hit of her career. Her popular breakthrough had come eight years earlier with 1970’s “Snowbrid,” a top-10 hit that led to a move to Los Angeles for a regular engagement on television’s The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour. But the California lifestyle did not agree with Anne Murray, who promptly returned to Nova Scotia. Over the next six years, Murray scored a number of hits on the American country chart, including the 1974 country #1 hit, “He Thinks I Still Care.” The period of her greatest success, however, would begin with the release of “You Needed Me,” which flew up the charts in the autumn of 1978, peaking at #4 on the Billboard country chart, but going all the way to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart on November 4, 1978

     While the highest spot Anne Murray would reach on the pop chart in the years that followed was #12 with her 1980 cover of the Monkees’ “Daydream Believer,” the success of “You Needed Me” proved to be just the beginning of her chart success as a country star. Between 1979 and 1986, Anne Murray would earn a total of nine #1 hits on the country-music charts, starting with 1979’s “I Just Fall In Love Again” and ending with 1986’s “Now And Forever (You And Me).” And in 2007, Murray achieved a #1 ranking of a very different kind, being named the top female celebrity golfer in the world by Golf for Women magazine.

363. October 3, 1976
     ============
     On this day in 1976, Carrie – a horror film starring Sissy Spacek and based on Stephen King’s 1974 best-selling first novel – opened in theaters around the United States. Directed by Brian De Palma, the film tells the story of high school outcast Carrie White, who uses her telekinetic powers to exact a violent revenge on her teenage tormenters on prom night. In addition to Spacek, who received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in the title role, the film’s cast included Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, William Katt, Nancy Allen and a then relatively unknown John Travolta. Carrie became a classic of the horror genre and is considered by many critics to be one of the best big-screen adaptations of Stephen King’s work.

     After Spacek’s big breakout performance in Carrie, the freckle-faced actress — born on December 25, 1949 — went on to become one of Hollywood’s favorite leading ladies during the 1980s. She collected a Best Actress Oscar for her performance as the country singer Loretta Lynn in Coal Miner’s Daughter (1980) and earned nominations in the same category for her work in Missing (1982), The River (1984) and Crimes of the Heart (1986). She scored her sixth Best Actress Oscar nod in 2002, for her portrayal of an anguished mother in Todd Field’s In the Bedroom (2001).

     Carrie was also the first major box-office hit for director Brian De Palma, who was born on September 11, 1940. De Palma went on to helm a lengthy list of films, including Dressed to Kill (1980) with Michael Caine and Angie Dickinson, Scarface (1983) with Al Pacino, The Untouchables (1987) with Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert De Niro, Carlito’s Way (1993) with Pacino, and Mission: Impossible (1996), with Tom Cruise.

     Following the success of Carrie — in print and on the big screen — Stephen King, who was born on September 21, 1947, eventually became one of America’s best-known and top-selling authors. Much of the prolific Maine native’s work has been adapted for television and film, including The Shining (1980), directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Jack Nicholson; Stand by Me (1986), directed by Rob Reiner and starring River Phoenix, Jerry O’Connell, Corey Feldman and Wil Wheaton; Misery (1990), also directed by Reiner and featuring Kathy Bates and James Caan; The Shawshank Redemption (1994), with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins; Dolores Claiborne (1995), with Bates and Jennifer Jason Leigh; and The Green Mile (1999), with Tom Hanks.

364. November 3, 1998
     ==============
     On November 3, 1998, former professional wrestler Jesse “The Body” Ventura was elected
     governor of Minnesota with 37 percent of the vote. His opponents – seasoned politicians
     Hubert Humphrey III (son of Lyndon Johnson’s vice-president and the attorney general
     of Minnesota) and St. Paul mayor Norm Coleman – spent a total of $4.3 million on their
     campaigns. Ventura, the Reform-Party candidate, spent $250,000 — money he raised by
     selling $22 t-shirts and accepting $50 donations from his supporters. His only political
     experience had been his years as mayor of Brooklyn Park, a suburb of Minneapolis, but
     his laid-back, straight-talking, libertarian approach to politics resonated with many
     Minnesotans — especially young men who had never voted before. “I voted for Jesse
     because he was the most honest,” one young constituent told a reporter for Newsweek.
     “If he doesn’t know something, he says he doesn’t know.”

     During his pro wrestling career, Ventura had always been the bad guy: He wore tie-dyed outfits, feather boas and garish sunglasses, and he loudly and profanely heckled his opponents. “The Body” was shamelessly dishonest — his motto was “Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.” Ventura used some of his character’s familiar flamboyance in his gubernatorial campaign. In one ad, he wore only a pair of gym shorts and sat contemplatively, emulating Rodin’s The Thinker, while opera played in the background. In another, a Jesse Ventura action figure (cobbled together from existing dolls that a staffer found in a store, it had the body of Batman and the head of World War II General Omar Bradley) trounced Evil Special Interest Man. But when he got elected, he promised to take the job seriously. “I don’t want to cheapen the office,” he said. “I’m not about to turn it into some dog-and-pony show.”

     Some of his accomplishments as governor were popular. He managed to pass a light-rail plan for the Twin Cities, drafted a novel property-tax reform package and sent tax rebates, called “Jesse Checks,” to voters every year for three years. Then the state ran into economic problems. His legislative support evaporated and he seemed to spend more time whining and lashing out at his critics (most notably — and unwisely — the droll and good-natured Garrison Keillor, who, thanks to his public-radio show The Prairie Home Companion, was a beloved Minnesota folk hero). In 2002, Ventura decided that he would not run for office again.

     After leaving the governor’s mansion, Ventura hosted a short-lived TV talk show, taught a class at Harvard, and stumped for John Kerry in 2004. Two years later, he moved to Mexico. Nonetheless, some people still hope that he will change his mind and return to politics.

365. A week-end update? 11/4/17. Good morning if your just passing through. Well out here in what remains to be the ancient echoes of the wild wild West, the local state politicians are seeking and searching for ways to spread illusions to make themselves look good, even if they are creating a smoke screen even if there is no fire ! All the local papers have the opinion columns filled with how the estate tax repeal is going to save all the local ranches from devastation when the die. The Exemption doesn’t kick in until said ranch is worth 5.4 Million single or 11 Million with more than one inheritor. (Never mind that our state is half Indian reservations and the other half belongs to Ted Turner).A slick website called “Cattlemen for Tax Reform, and is sponsored by the National Beef Cattlemen’s Association features a rancher who says that “trying to figure out how to pass the ranching organization is the greatest challenge that keeps him up at night.” Another article says that he also failed to mention that he has received $365,208,00 in USDA subsidy checks while complaining about big bad government. So, like him or not, sometimes truth comes from strange places , but Bill Clinton once said ” any farmer that would benefit from this kind of tax relief rides in limos and has never even drove a tractor” ( I bet I would be safe in saying that they probably never wore a pair of blue bibs either.) So there you have it, Tax relief is on the way. Seen another article but did not take the time to actually research it that said there has only been 139 cases nationwide that owed any kind of inheritance tax over the last 10 years. Thanks for sharing the love.

366. Once upon a cold and snowy night, maybe a not so integrated mind is having some weird thoughts, Just some thoughts flipping back and forth through a 2 chamber brain. For instance, Does anyone besides me wonder if all the negative news about Elon , (Who has said he cut back production in order to build solar panels to help those in need in Puerto Rico )would have anything to do with Trumps efforts to lower the standards of fossil fuels, AKA the continuing assault on mother Earth, and Rick Perry’s stupid statement on how fossil fuels can prevent sexual assault in Africa. Smells like odors from refineries at Exxon-Mobil, Shell, etc to me. I’ll stick with Tesla over Edison on this one. ……….George Soros just celebrated his 82nd birth day by getting married to an attractive young lady. Hmmm. Veterans Day is approaching. It seems even modern day parents are thinking that a 2 year draft could be a good thing, since they themselves were able to teach the kid any Discipline , Thought and Control. In my day it was a mandatory draft selection system. In my case , I ran down to the local Air Force recruiter after receiving notice of my impending fate from the local draft board. I made the decision because even back in those days I wanted the right to make my own decisions instead of being told what to do. From that day forward I developed a bad taste when I heard people admiring and worshiping draft dodgers.( Clay vs Ali etc.) but I recently read where another supposed Hero whose name was Abraham Lincoln hired John Summerfield Staples for $500 to serve in his place. (and so who says rank doesn’t have it’s privileges ) On that subject I will leave you with this. ,I have a brother-in law who came from a relatively wealthy family. I was never sure what would come first, his portfolio of college deferments or his first social security check? But I love him. You keep telling me about pure honest love! So to end this travesty, I leave you with this which reverts back to doing away with emission standards and clean air ” Doctors keep telling us to get lots of fresh air, but they never tell us where to find it.” Spread the love.

368. November 2, 1948
     ==============
     In the greatest upset in presidential election history, Democratic incumbent Harry S. Truman defeated his Republican challenger, Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York, by just over two million popular votes. In the days preceding the vote, political analysts and polls were so behind Dewey that on election night, long before all the votes were counted, the Chicago Tribune published an early edition with the banner headline “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN.”

     Harry Truman was thrust into the presidency by Franklin D. Roosevelt’s death in 1945. Approaching the 1948 presidential election, he seemed to stand a slim chance of retaining the White House. Despite his effective leadership at the end of World War II and sound vision in the confused postwar world, many voters still viewed Truman as an ineffectual shadow of his four-term predecessor. He also antagonized Southern Democrats with his civil rights initiatives. Most were sure that Dewey would take the White House.

     In the last weeks before the election, Truman embarked on a “whistle-stop” campaign across the United States in defiance of his consistently poor showings in the polls. He traveled to America’s cities and towns, fighting to win over undecided voters by portraying himself as an outsider contending with a “do-nothing” Congress. Truman, a one-time farmer who was elevated to the pinnacle of American politics because of his reputation for honesty and integrity, won the nation’s affection, and he narrowly won a second term.

369. November 2, 1947
     ==============
     On this day in 1947, The Hughes Flying Boat — the largest aircraft ever built — was
     piloted by designer Howard Hughes on its first and only flight. Built with laminated
     birch and spruce, the massive wooden aircraft had a wingspan longer than a football
     field and was designed to carry more than 700 men to battle.

     Howard Hughes was a successful Hollywood movie producer when he founded the Hughes Aircraft Company in 1932. He personally tested cutting-edge aircraft of his own design and in 1937 broke the transcontinental flight-time record. In 1938, he flew around the world in a record three days, 19 hours, and 14 minutes.

     Following the U.S. entrance into World War II in 1941, the U.S. government commissioned the Hughes Aircraft Company to build a large flying boat capable of carrying men and materials over long distances. The concept for what would become the “Spruce Goose” was originally conceived by the industrialist Henry Kaiser, but Kaiser dropped out of the project early, leaving Hughes and his small team to make the H-4 a reality. Because of wartime restrictions on steel, Hughes decided to build his aircraft out of wood laminated with plastic and covered with fabric. Although it was constructed mainly of birch, the use of spruce (along with its white-gray color) would later earn the aircraft the nickname Spruce Goose. It had a wingspan of 320 feet and was powered by eight giant propeller engines.

     Development of the Spruce Goose cost a phenomenal $23 million and took so long that the war had ended by the time of its completion in 1946. The aircraft had many detractors, and Congress demanded that Hughes prove the plane airworthy. On November 2, 1947, Hughes obliged, taking the H-4 prototype out into Long Beach Harbor, CA for an unannounced flight test. Thousands of onlookers had come to watch the aircraft taxi on the water and were surprised when Hughes lifted his wooden behemoth 70 feet above the water and flew for a mile before landing.

     Despite its successful maiden flight, the Spruce Goose never went into production, primarily because critics alleged that its wooden framework was insufficient to support its weight during long flights. Nevertheless, Howard Hughes, who became increasingly eccentric and withdrawn after 1950, refused to neglect what he saw as his greatest achievement in the aviation field. From 1947 until his death in 1976, he kept the Spruce Goose prototype ready for flight in an enormous, climate-controlled hangar at a cost of $1 million per year. Today, the Spruce Goose is housed at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.

370. November 1, 1512
     =============
     On this day, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome – one of Italian artist
     Michelangelo’s finest works – was exhibited to the public for the first time.

     Michelangelo Buonarroti, the greatest of the Italian Renaissance artists, was born in the small village of Caprese in 1475. The son of a government administrator, he grew up in Florence, a center of the early Renaissance movement, and became an artist’s apprentice at age 13. Demonstrating obvious talent, he was taken under the wing of Lorenzo de’ Medici, the ruler of the Florentine republic and a great patron of the arts. After demonstrating his mastery of sculpture in such works as the Pieta (1498) and David (1504), he was called to Rome in 1508 to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel—the chief consecrated space in the Vatican.

     Michelangelo’s epic ceiling frescoes, which took several years to complete, are among his most memorable works. Central in a complex system of decoration featuring numerous figures are nine panels devoted to biblical world history. The most famous of these is The Creation of Adam, a painting in which the arms of God and Adam are stretching toward each other. In 1512, Michelangelo completed the work.

     After 15 years as an architect in Florence, Michelangelo returned to Rome in 1534, where he worked and lived for the rest of his life. That year saw his painting of the The Last Judgment on the wall above the altar in the Sistine Chapel for Pope Paul III. The massive painting depicts Christ’s damnation of sinners and blessing of the virtuous and is regarded as a masterpiece of early Mannerism.

     Michelangelo worked until his death in 1564 at the age of 88. In addition to his major artistic works, he produced numerous other sculptures, frescoes, architectural designs, and drawings, many of which are unfinished and some of which are lost. In his lifetime, he was celebrated as Europe’s greatest living artist, and today he is held up as one of the greatest artists of all time, as exalted in the visual arts as William Shakespeare is in literature or Ludwig van Beethoven is in music.

371. NOVEMBER !, 1930
     ===============
     On this day in 1930, President Herbert Hoover turned a telegraphic “golden key” in the
     White House to mark the opening of the 5,160-foot-long Detroit-Windsor Tunnel
     between the U.S. city of Detroit, Michigan, and the Canadian city of Windsor, Ontario.
     The tunnel opened to regular traffic on November 3. The first passenger car it
     carried was a 1929 Studebaker.

     Since the beginning of the 19th century, Detroiters and Windsorians had been trying to find a way to move people and goods back and forth across the Detroit River. For decades, railroad interests proposed tunnels and bridges galore, but powerful advocates of marine shipping always managed to block those projects: They did not want to lose business to faster and more capacious trains. (Plans for bridges were particularly troubling to those shippers, since just one low-hanging over-the-water crossing had the potential to keep high-masted sailing vessels off the river altogether.)

     In 1871, the region’s railroads finally won permission to build a trans-national tunnel, and workers began to dig into the river at the foot of Detroit’s San Antoine Street; however, they were forced to abandon the project just 135 feet under the river when they struck a pocket of sulfurous gas that made workers so ill that none could be persuaded to return. Likewise, in 1879, another tunnel had to be abandoned when it ran right into some unexpectedly difficult to excavate limestone under the river. The first successful Michigan-to-Canada tunnel project finally opened in 1891: the 6,000-foot-long Grand Trunk Railway Tunnel at Port Huron.

     Soon enough, it was clear to most people on both sides of the border that they needed to build some sort of structure for transporting automobiles across the river. In June 1919, the mayors of Detroit and Windsor decided to build a city-to-city tunnel that would serve as a memorial to the American and Canadian soldiers who had died in World War I. Even after advocates of the under-construction Ambassador Bridge tried to frighten away the tunnel’s backers, spreading rumors about the danger of subterranean carbon monoxide poisoning, tunnel boosters were undeterred. (They were, one said, “inspired by God to have this tunnel built.”)

     Construction began in 1928. First, barges dredged a 2,454-foot-long trench across the river; next, workers sank nine 8,000-ton steel-and-concrete tubes into the trench and welded them together. An elaborate ventilation system kept the air in the tunnel safe to breathe.

     In the first nine weeks it was open, nearly 200,000 cars passed through the
     Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Today, about 9 million vehicles use the tunnel each year.

372. October 31, 1926
     =============
     Harry Houdini, the most celebrated magician and escape artist of the 20th century, died of peritonitis in a Detroit hospital. Twelve days before, Houdini had been talking to a group of students after a lecture in Montreal when he commented on the strength of his stomach muscles and their ability to withstand hard blows. Suddenly, one of the students punched Houdini twice in the stomach. The magician hadn’t had time to prepare, and the blows ruptured his appendix. He fell ill on the train to Detroit, and, after performing one last time, was hospitalized. Doctors operated on him, but to no avail. The burst appendix poisoned his system, and on October 31 he died.

     Houdini was born Erik Weisz in Budapest in 1874, the son of a rabbi. At a young age, he immigrated with his family to Appleton, Wisconsin, and soon demonstrated a natural acrobatic ability and an extraordinary skill at picking locks. When he was nine, he joined a traveling circus and toured the country as a contortionist and trapeze performer. He soon was specializing in escape acts and gained fame for his reported ability to escape from any manacle. He went on his first international tour in 1900 and performed all over Europe to great acclaim. In executing his escapes, he relied on strength, dexterity, and concentration — not trickery — and was a great showman.

     In 1908, Houdini began performing more dangerous and dramatic escapes. In a favorite act, he was bound and then locked in an ironbound chest that was dropped into a water tank or thrown off a boat. In another, he was heavily bound and then suspended upside down in a glass-walled water tank. Other acts featured Houdini being hung from a skyscraper in a straitjacket, or bound and buried—without a coffin—under six feet of dirt.

     In his later years, Houdini campaigned against mediums, mind readers, fakirs, and others who claimed supernatural talents but depended on tricks. At the same time, he was deeply interested in spiritualism and made a pact with his wife and friends that the first to die was to try and communicate with the world of reality from the spirit world. Several of these friends died, but Houdini never received a sign from them. Then, on Halloween 1926, Houdini himself passed on at the age of 52. His wife waited for a communiqué from the spirit world but it never came; she declared the experiment a failure shortly before her death in 1943.

     On October 30, 1974, 32-year-old Muhammad Ali becme the heavyweight champion of the
     world for the second time when he knocked out 25-year-old champ George Foreman in
     the eighth round of the “Rumble in the Jungle,” a match in Kinshasa, Zaire. Seven years
     before, Ali had lost his title when the government accused him of draft-dodging and
     the boxing commission took away his license. His victory in Zaire made him only
     the second dethroned champ in history to regain his belt.

     The “Rumble in the Jungle” (named by promoter Don King, who’d initially tagged the bout “From the Slave Ship to the Championship!” until Zaire’s president caught wind of the idea and ordered all the posters burned) was Africa’s first heavyweight championship match. The government of the West African republic staged the event — its president, Mobutu Sese Seko, personally paid each of the fighters $5 million simply for showing up — in hopes that it would draw the world’s attention to the country’s enormous beauty and vast reserves of natural resources. Ali agreed. “I wanted to establish a relationship between American blacks and Africans,” he wrote later. “The fight was about racial problems, Vietnam. All of that.” He added: “The Rumble in the Jungle was a fight that made the whole country more conscious.”

     At 4:30 a.m. on October 30, 60,000 spectators gathered in the moonlight (organizers had timed the fight to overlap with prime time in the U.S.) at the outdoor Stade du 20 Mai to watch the fight. They were chanting “Ali, bomaye” (“Ali, kill him”). The ex-champ had been taunting Foreman for weeks, and the young boxer was eager to get going. When the bell rang, he began to pound Ali with his signature sledgehammer blows, but the older man simply backed himself up against the ropes and used his arms to block as many hits as he could. He was confident that he could wait Foreman out. (Ali’s trainer later called this strategy the “rope-a-dope,” because he was “a dope” for using it.)

     By the fifth round, the youngster began to tire. His powerful punches became glances and taps. And in the eighth, like “a bee harassing a bear,” as one Times reporter wrote, Ali peeled himself off the ropes and unleashed a barrage of quick punches that seemed to bewilder the exhausted Foreman. A hard left and chopping right caused the champ’s weary legs to buckle, and he plopped down on the mat. The referee counted him out with just two seconds to go in the round.

     Ali lost his title and regained it once more before retiring for good in 1981. Foreman, meanwhile, retired in 1977 but kept training, and in 1987 he became the oldest heavyweight champ in the history of boxing. Today, the affable Foreman is a minister and rancher in Texas and the father of five daughters and five sons, all named George. He’s also the spokesman for the incredibly popular line of George Foreman indoor grills.

374. October 30, 1938
     =============
     Orson Welles caused a nationwide panic on this day with his broadcast of
     “War of the Worlds” — a realistic radio dramatization of a Martian invasion of Earth.

     Orson Welles was only 23 years old when his Mercury Theater company decided to update H.G. Wells’ 19th-century science fiction novel War of the Worlds for national radio. Despite his age, Welles had been in radio for several years, most notably as the voice of “The Shadow” in the hit mystery program of the same name. “War of the Worlds” was not planned as a radio hoax, and Welles had little idea of the havoc it would cause.

     The show began on Sunday, October 30, at 8 p.m. A voice announced: “The Columbia Broadcasting System and its affiliated stations present Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater on the air in ‘War of the Worlds’ by H.G. Wells.”

     Sunday evening in 1938 was prime-time in the golden age of radio, and millions of Americans had their radios turned on. But most of these Americans were listening to ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his dummy “Charlie McCarthy” on NBC and only turned to CBS at 8:12 p.m. after the comedy sketch ended and a little-known singer went on. By then, the story of the Martian invasion was well underway.

     Welles introduced his radio play with a spoken introduction, followed by an announcer reading a weather report. Then, seemingly abandoning the storyline, the announcer took listeners to “the Meridian Room in the Hotel Park Plaza in downtown New York, where you will be entertained by the music of Ramon Raquello and his orchestra.” Putrid dance music played for some time, and then the scare began. An announcer broke in to report that “Professor Farrell of the Mount Jenning Observatory” had detected explosions on the planet Mars. Then the dance music came back on, followed by another interruption in which listeners were informed that a large meteor had crashed into a farmer’s field in Grovers Mills, New Jersey.

     Soon, an announcer was at the crash site describing a Martian emerging from a large metallic cylinder. “Good heavens,” he declared, “something’s wriggling out of the shadow like a gray snake. Now here’s another and another one and another one. They look like tentacles to me … I can see the thing’s body now. It’s large, large as a bear. It glistens like wet leather. But that face, it… it … ladies and gentlemen, it’s indescribable. I can hardly force myself to keep looking at it, it’s so awful. The eyes are black and gleam like a serpent. The mouth is kind of V-shaped with saliva dripping from its rimless lips that seem to quiver and pulsate.”

     The Martians mounted walking war machines and fired “heat-ray” weapons at the puny humans gathered around the crash site. They annihilated a force of 7,000 National Guardsman, and after being attacked by artillery and bombers the Martians released a poisonous gas into the air. Soon “Martian cylinders” landed in Chicago and St. Louis. The radio play was extremely realistic, with Welles employing sophisticated sound effects and his actors doing an excellent job portraying terrified announcers and other characters. An announcer reported that widespread panic had broken out in the vicinity of the landing sites, with thousands desperately trying to flee. In fact, that was not far from the truth.

     Perhaps as many as a million radio listeners believed that a real Martian invasion was underway. Panic broke out across the country. In New Jersey, terrified civilians jammed highways seeking to escape the alien marauders. People begged police for gas masks to save them from the toxic gas and asked electric companies to turn off the power so that the Martians wouldn’t see their lights. One woman ran into an Indianapolis church where evening services were being held and yelled, “New York has been destroyed! It’s the end of the world! Go home and prepare to die!”

     When news of the real-life panic leaked into the CBS studio, Welles went on the air as himself to remind listeners that it was just fiction. There were rumors that the show caused suicides, but none were ever confirmed.

     The Federal Communications Commission investigated the program but found no law was broken. Networks did agree to be more cautious in their programming in the future. Orson Welles feared that the controversy generated by “War of the Worlds” would ruin his career. In fact, the publicity helped land him a contract with a Hollywood studio, and in 1941 he directed, wrote, produced, and starred in Citizen Kane — a movie that many have called the greatest American film ever made.

375. October 29, 1971
     ============
     Duane Allman – a slide guitarist and the leader of the Allman Brothers Band – was killed on this day in 1971 when he lost control of his motorcycle and drove into the side of a flatbed truck in Macon, Georgia. He was 24 years old. After Allman’s death, his band continued to tour and record and it is still together today. In 2004, Rolling Stone declared that the Allman Brothers were the 52nd-greatest rock band of all time.

     Duane Allman was born in Nashville and grew up in Florida. Before he formed the Allman Brothers Band with his brother Gregg, a singer and keyboard player, Duane had made a name for himself as a session musician for Atlantic Records at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Georgia. There, he played with artists like Wilson Pickett, Clarence Carter, Aretha Franklin, King Curtis, John Hammond, Ronnie Hawkins, Boz Scaggs and Herbie Mann. In 1969, the Allmans put together their own band and moved to Macon. They released two promising studio albums and a live album, 1970’s “At Fillmore East,” that many people say is among the best concert recordings ever made. When Allman died, the band was working on a new studio record, “Eat a Peach,” which would eventually hit No. 4 on Billboard’s album sales chart.

     On the afternoon of his accident, Duane Allman was speeding along Hillcrest Avenue on his Harley-Davidson Sportster when he slowed to let a flatbed truck carrying a huge crane boom make a left-hand turn in front of him. Allman pulled his bike toward the center of the road so he could swing around the outside of the truck, but in the middle of its turn the flatbed suddenly rumbled to a stop. Unable to maneuver around or under the giant obstacle, Allman ran right into it. The crane’s weight ball knocked him off his Harley, which bounced up in the air and off of Allman’s chest before skidding to a stop along the curb. The guitarist was not killed instantly — in fact, he had no visible injuries except some bumps and scrapes — but died in surgery later that evening.

     Almost exactly one year later, the Allman Brothers Band’s bassist died in a very similar accident (he crashed his speeding Triumph into the side of a city bus) just a few blocks away.

376. 10/29/17. Hi fellow posters. What sparked this blog today was an article on the news today about how a movie back some years ago was supposed to be a thriller and pure fantasy but has turned into a reality. This one I know first hand about. The name of the movie escapes me and is not that important, but the message certainly is. It was based on a world where the threat of new disease infections become resistant to all antibiotics and anti-viral medicines. Well , guess what folks, were there! Many of you have heard me expound the demise of my daughter Cheryl in the last 5 years. That was when she was diagnosed with an infectious disease called Chronic Q Fever or the technical terminology being Coxiella burnetii. This particular disease is a bacterial infection that affects the lungs, liver, heart and other parts of the body. It is most commonly found in female cattle, sheep and goats around the world and humans typically get it by breathing in the dust that is contaminated by infected animals. It was also manufactured by the U, S, Military to be used as a biological warfare agent back in the 60’s during the Vietnam era, however no steps were ever taken to find a cure or an antidote for this man made disease, and at the time of her diagnosis, the Center for infectious and Contagious Disease told her that the time table is usually 5 to 7 years before the disease starts attacking the heart muscles. We have reached that 5 year mark, and just as the movie portrayed, they are no longer able prescribe and cocktail any more antibiotics that are effective. During this 5 year period there has been no action on behalf of the CDC , FDA, EPA, or anyone else to look for a viable solution even though I have found reports claiming many of our military folks have returned to the U.S. from the middle East with this illness. At this point I understand no matter how extreme the case , the standard treatment is a combination of the antibiotics doxyeyeline and hydroxychloroquine .? We (I) am not looking for sympathy, I just want to know why I am staring at the same web page that was published 5 years ago and there has apparently been no changes or forward progress? What else is our great and lovely government trying to hide? My last statement on this subject is that New Zealand concocted a vaccine called Q-Vax in 2007 , but our leaders will not give approval to treat patients in this country. We are waiting for a miracle, but time is running out.. Our philosophy, never leave without saying or expressing LOVE to your fellow man.

377. 2nd attempt: Lost this earlier, so if you see this out there in space, please return! This I title “Why you got to love state and local politics also.” Straight from Rapid City Journal dated 10/28/17. “Lawmakers like science that PAYS.”
     I recently completed an astronomy course a the Journey museum. It was a very interesting course that delved into some of the most complex science, name particle physics and astrophysics . One of the classes featured a professor from the School of Mines who is involved in the study of neutrinos at Sanford Lab. During his talk , he included a photo of the ground breaking for the Sanford Lab. As the professor talked about the attendance of our governor and congressional delegation at the ground breaking, I couldn’t help but think about the IRONY . While in Washington our congressional delegation has consistently professed that some science , such as climate science is BOGUS! but then on the other hand the science at Sanford Lab brings in TONS of federal money into our state, therefore it is acceptable for now. This is how logic works here, but as astrophysicist Neil degrasse Tyson explains “The good thing about science is that it is true whether or not you believe in it.” End of Article. ( It is also worth noting that whatever Denny Sanford wants ,he gets as he is considered the wealthiest and most powerful person in the state. His name is on every medical facility here, as well as entertainment centers and arenas etc. You gotta love it!

     =============
     On this day in 1965, workers “topped out” the final section of the Gateway
     Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, completing construction of the nation’s tallest
     memorial after four years of work.

     A graceful 603-foot high ribbon of gleaming stainless steel, the Gateway Arch spans 630 feet at the ground and is meant to symbolically mark the gateway from the eastern United States to the West. Architect Eero Saarinen’s dramatic design was chosen during a 1947 competition, and has since become a landmark famous around the world.

     The Gateway Arch is the most prominent feature of St. Louis’s Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park, which also includes an Underground Visitors Center featuring exhibits charting the 100-year history of America’s westward expansion. Although St. Louis was by no means the only jumping-off point for emigrants moving westward, during much of the 19th century the city’s advantageous location, just below the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, made it an important hub for much of the nation’s western expansion. Most famously, Lewis and Clark began their exploration of the newly acquired Louisiana Territory when they departed from St. Louis in May 1804, and Zebulon Pike also started his western explorations there in 1805. Once these famous trailblazers had shown the way, thousands of other followed in their footsteps.

     For a time, St. Louis was also a center for the fur trade, as the mountain men scoured the western streams and lakes for valuable animals and sent their skins back East through the city. As the tide of easterners emigrating West steadily grew, St. Louis also became a popular jumping-off point for the main overland trails to Santa Fe, California, and Oregon. The arrival of the first steamboat, the Pike, along the docks of St. Louis in 1817 began the city’s role as a hub for steam-powered water transportation along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.

     Railroads, too, ensured that St. Louis would be an important transportation center for the second half of the 19th century. However, railroads also made it possible for the upstart city of Chicago to begin challenging St. Louis’s role as the gateway to the West. With its easy access to the extensive network of eastern lakes, canals, and railroads, after 1850 Chicago began to supplant St. Louis as the major railway hub and economic center of the West.

     On October 27, 2004, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series for the first time since 1918 -finally vanquishing the so-called “Curse of the Bambino” that had plagued them for 86 years. “This is for anyone who has ever rooted for the Red Sox,” the team’s GM told reporters after the game. “This is for all of Red Sox Nation, past and present.”

     Ever since team owner and Broadway producer Harry Frazee sold the great Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920 — he got $125,000 and a $300,000 loan, which he used to pay Fenway’s mortgage and put on the musical No, No, Nannette — the Sox had been tragically unable to win the World Series. People said that the team was cursed. Before 1920, the Sox had won five championships and the Yanks hadn’t won any; after the Babe left, Boston’s well ran dry. The Yankees, meanwhile, won a record 26 times after 1920.

     Over and over, the hapless Sox almost won — and over and over, they didn’t. In 1946, they were winning Game 7 with two outs in the eighth — until shortstop Johnny Pesky held onto a relay throw just long enough for Enos Slaughter to score the winning run (from first base). They lost in 1967 and 1975. Three years after that, in a one-game playoff for the AL championship, they lost when Yankee shortstop Bucky Dent, not exactly a reliable slugger, cranked one over the Green Monster with two men on base. (The Bombers won the game and went on to win their 22nd World Series.) And in the sixth game of the 1986 series against the Mets, just one out away from the championship, the Sox defense managed to bungle a series of easy plays so badly that they lost the game — and the next one, and the series. The Curse of the Bambino, it seemed, would never die.

     But in 2004, the team’s luck changed. The Yanks had been three games up in the American League Championship Series, but Boston made a miraculous comeback and swept the last four. After that, it turned out, the Series itself was pretty dull. The St. Louis Cardinals were the NL champs and they had the best regular-season record in the majors, but in the series, their pitching was weak and their batting was worse. The Sox won the first three games handily. By the fourth, the Sox were playing like they won the Series every year. Johnny Damon led off with a homer that smashed into the St. Louis bullpen; Trot Nixon’s bases-loaded double in the third scored two more; pitcher Derek Lowe gave up just three hits in seven innings. The game’s end was as mundane as the rest of the series had been: Edgar Renteria plunked an easy grounder to closer Keith Foulke, who tossed the ball to first baseman Doug Mientkeiwicz in plenty of time for the out. The team mobbed the field; the crowd went wild. “This,” wrote a columnist for the Globe, “is what it must have felt like in 1918.”

     In the 2007 World Series, the Sox did it again—they swept the Rockies for another easy victory. For now, they’ve won more championships in the 21st century than any other team.

     =============
     At 2:35 on the afternoon of October 27, 1904, New York City Mayor
     George McClellan took the controls on the inaugural run of the city’s
     innovative new rapid transit system – the subway.

     While London boasts the world’s oldest underground train network (opened in 1863) and
     Boston built the first subway in the United States in 1897, the New York City subway soon
     became the largest American system. The first line, operated by the Interborough Rapid
     Transit Company (IRT), traveled 9.1 miles through 28 stations. Running from City Hall in
     lower Manhattan to Grand Central Terminal in midtown, and then heading west along
     42nd Street to Times Square, the line finished by zipping north, all the way to 145th Street
     and Broadway in Harlem. On opening day, Mayor McClellan so enjoyed his stint as engineer
     that he stayed at the controls all the way from City Hall to 103rd Street.

     At 7 p.m. that evening, the subway opened to the general public, and more than 100,000 people
     paid a nickel each to take their first ride under Manhattan. IRT service expanded to the Bronx
     In 1905, to Brooklyn in 1908 and to Queens in 1915. Since 1968, the subway has been controlled
     by the Metropolitan Transport Authority (MTA). The system now has 26 lines and 468 stations
     in operation; the longest line, the 8th Avenue “A” Express train, stretches more than 32 miles,
     from the northern tip of Manhattan to the far southeast corner of Queens.

     Every day, some 4.5 million passengers take the subway in New York. With the exception of
     the PATH train connecting New York with New Jersey and some parts of Chicago’s elevated
     train system, New York’s subway is the only rapid transit system in the world that runs 24
     hours a day, seven days a week. No matter how crowded or dirty, the subway is one New York
     City institution few New Yorkers — or tourists — could do without.

382. October 26, 1986
     =============
     In the wee hours of the morning on October 26, 1986, Red Sox first baseman Bill Buckner
     let an easy ground ball dribble between his legs and roll down the right-field line. It was
     just a routine fielding error, but it was a disaster for the Boston Red Sox: It was the 10th
     inning of the sixth game of the World Series; the game was tied; and, thanks to Buckner’s
     mistake, the runner on third had time to score, winning the game for the Mets and forcing
     a tiebreaking seventh — which, in the final innings, the Mets also won. Even though Game 6
     was tied because Boston’s pitchers couldn’t hold a two-run, two-out lead, and even though the
     Sox managed to fritter away a three-run lead in Game 7, people still blame Buckner for losing the
     championship. “I can’t remember the last time I missed a ball like that,” he said, “but I’ll remember this one.”

     Ever since team owner and Broadway producer Harry Frazee sold the great Babe Ruth to the Yankees in 1920, the Sox had been unable to win the World Series. People said that the team was cursed. Before 1920, the Sox had won five championships; after the Babe left, Boston’s well ran dry. Over and over, the hapless Sox almost won—and over and over, they didn’t. In 1946, they were winning Game 7 with two outs in the eighth—until shortstop Johnny Pesky held onto a relay throw just long enough for Enos Slaughter to score the winning run (from first base). They lost in 1967 and 1975. Three years after that, in a one-game playoff for the AL championship, they lost when Yankee shortstop Bucky Dent, not exactly a reliable slugger, cranked one over the Green Monster with two men on base. The Bombers won the game and went on to win their 22nd World Series.

     And then, just one out away from the championship in the sixth game of the 1986 series against the Mets, the Sox defense managed to bungle a series of easy plays so badly that they lost the game. At the bottom of the 10th, Boston had a 5-3 lead. Pitcher Calvin Schiraldi retired the first two Mets who came to the plate. But then Gary Carter hit a single; so did Kevin Mitchell; and then Ray Knight did, too. The score was 5-4. Bob Stanley came in from the Red Sox bullpen and immediately fired off a wild pitch. Mitchell scored, and the game was tied. Then outfielder Mookie Wilson stepped to the plate. On the 10th pitch of the at-bat, after he’d knocked six pitches foul, Wilson poked a ground ball right to Buckner at first. Buckner bent to field the ball, but it bounced right over his glove and kept rolling down the right-field line. Knight headed gleefully for home. The Mets had won.

     Two nights later, the Sox weren’t any luckier: They were winning 3-0 until the sixth, when the Mets tied the game. In the seventh, New York scored three more runs. With that, the Mets were the champs. The Curse of the Bambino, it seemed, would never die.

     Buckner tried to stay in Boston, but fans heaped so much abuse on him and his family that he decided to move to Idaho. The Sox, meanwhile, won the World Series in 2004 and again in 2007.

383. October 26, 2001
     =============
     On this day in 2001, President George W. Bush signed the Patriot Act, an
     anti-terrorism law drawn up in response to the attacks on the Pentagon
     and World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

     The USA PATRIOT Act as it is officially known is an acronym for “Uniting and
     Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
     and Obstruct Terrorism.” Bush hoped the bipartisan legislation would empower
     law enforcement and intelligence agencies to prevent future terrorist attacks
     on American soil.

     The law was intended, in Bush’s words, to “enhance the penalties that will fall on terrorists or
     anyone who helps them.” The act increased intelligence agencies’ ability to share information
     and lifted restrictions on communications surveillance. Law enforcement officials were given
     broader mandates to fight financial counterfeiting, smuggling and money laundering schemes
     that funded terrorists. The Patriot Act’s expanded definition of terrorism also gave the FBI
     increased powers to access personal information such as medical and financial records.
     The Patriot Act superseded all state laws.

     While Congress voted in favor of the bill, and some in America felt the bill actually did not go
     far enough to combat terrorism, the law faced a torrent of criticism. Civil rights activists
     worried that the Patriot Act would curtail domestic civil liberties and would give the
     executive branch too much power to investigate Americans under a veil of
     secrecy—a fear not felt since the protest era of the 1960s and 1970s
     when the FBI bugged and infiltrated anti-war and civil rights groups.

     The Patriot Act has faced ongoing legal challenges by the American Civil Liberties Union,
     and in recent years, some members of Congress who had originally supported the bill
     have come to mistrust the Bush administration’s interpretation of the law. Nevertheless,
     a Republican-controlled Congress passed and Bush signed a renewal of the controversial
     Patriot Act in March 2006. Bush exacerbated the controversy over the renewal of the act
     by issuing a so-called “signing statement” — an executive exemption from enforcing or
     abiding by certain clauses within the law — immediately afterward.

     On October 25, 1910, white race car driver Barney Oldfield beat prizefighter
     Jack Johnson – the first African-American heavyweight champion of the
     world – in two five-mile car races in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.

     Oldfield and Johnson had a history: Oldfield’s friend – the white heavyweight champ
     James J. Jeffries – had quit boxing in 1908 because he did not want to fight a black man
     for his title. In July 1910, Jeffries came out of retirement to fight Johnson at last, but l
     ost in 15 rounds. (Twenty-six people were killed and hundreds were injured in
     the nationwide riots that followed the black fighter’s victory.) After that,
     Johnson was unable to find anyone who would fight him — so, he
     turned to car racing instead. In October 1910, he challenged Oldfield to a race.

     Oldfield, a flamboyant daredevil who had just set a new land-speed record (131 mph) in his
     Blitzen Benz, accepted the challenge at once. The competitors bet $5,000 on the
     contest — the driver who won two out of three five-mile heats won
     the bet — and invited a Hollywood crew to film the race. But
     there was a problem. In order to make the race official, Johnson
     needed a license from the American Automobile Association, but the AAA
     refused to license black drivers. What’s more, the organization told Oldfield that it
     would rescind his license if he went through with the race. But bets had been made and
     contracts signed, so the race was on!

     Rain delayed the race several times, but on October 25 the skies were clear. Five thousand
     people gathered at the Brooklyn track, waving their hats and cheering for the movie
     cameras. Oldfield, driving a 60-horsepower Knox car, won the first heat by a
     half-mile, in 4:44. In the second, he slowed down a bit — he kept just
     ahead of Johnson’s bright-red car, taunting the boxer as he drove – but won
     the race in 5:14. There was no need for a third heat: Barney Oldfield was the winner.

     Eighteen months later, the AAA reinstated Oldfield and he began to race again. A few years
     later, he drove the first 100-mph lap in the history of the Indianapolis 500 race. Johnson’s
     luck was not as good: Many people resented his success -and especially his habit of dating
     white women -and he was arrested several times on trumped-up violations of the Mann Act.
     As a result, he spent a year in federal prison. Johnson died in a car accident in 1946.
     He was 68 years old.

385. Hi guys and gals! Well Forest , hope I didn’t give anything away on your talk, but at least we must be on the same page. This article was on my LinkedIn , and it sort of brings us back to where we started regarding Wikipedia. the article is about their future and the question was can the on line encyclopedia compete with social media’s emotional appeal . As the internet goes, so goes wiki according to Wired , and it’s not good. The shift from a typographical culture to a photographic one , which is meant in turn to shift from rationality to emotions exposition to entertainment is threatening the open and demographic quest for knowledge first associated with the web. and all encyclopedia enterprises throughout history, the magazine said. While funding is less of a problem for the “non-profit” Wiki now, contributors to the website are dwindling, and so is our own thirst for knowledge. (end of article.)
     There were tons of comments from both contributors and users, but several of the main complaints was Wiki’s great failure in neglecting to protect the work of individuals against organization’s interest by editing information to suit their own needs. Another underlying theme was that when some contributors tried to print materials , someone with no knowledge of the subject deleted the information. Does any of this sound familiar???? Any way, some food for thought? Love is a wonderful thing!

386. October 24, 1969
     =============
     On this day in 1969, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid – starring Paul Newman and
     Robert Redford as a team of bank robbers in the Old West – opened in theaters around
     the United States. The film was a commercial and critical success, receiving seven Oscar
     nominations (including Best Picture and Best Director) and winning in the categories of
     Best Screenplay (William Goldman), Best Song (Burt Bacharach’s “Raindrops Keep Falling
     on My Head”), Best Score and Best Cinematography.

     Prior to Butch Cassidy, Paul Newman, who was born on January 26, 1925, appeared in such
     films as Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), The Hustler (1961), Hud (1963) and Cool Hand Luke (1967),
     each of which earned him a Best Actor Academy Award nomination. He teamed up with
     Redford again in 1973’s The Sting, which collected seven Academy Awards, including
     Best Picture. The famously blue-eyed Newman went on to star in such movies as
     Absence of Malice (1981) and The Verdict (1982), both of which earned him Best
     Actor Oscar nominations, and The Color of Money (1986), for which he took
     home his first Best Actor Oscar. He received Oscar nominations again for
     his performances in Nobody’s Fool (1994) and Road to Perdition (2002).
     The screen legend died at the age of 83 on September 26, 2008, after battling cancer.

     Redford, born on August 18, 1936, made his breakthrough performance on Broadway with
     Barefoot in the Park in 1963. Following the success of Butch Cassidy, he starred in such
     movies as The Candidate (1972), The Great Gatsby (1974), All the President’s Men (1976)
     and The Natural (1984). Redford made his directorial debut with 1980’s Ordinary People,
     which won four Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture. Redford went on to
     helm The Milagro Beanfield War (1988), A River Runs Through It (1992) and Quiz Show
     (1994), which received four Oscar nominations, including Best Director and Best Picture.
     Later features included The Horse Whisperer (1998), in which he also starred; The Legend
     of Bagger Vance (2000) and Lions for Lambs (2007), in which he co-starred with Tom Cruise
     and Meryl Streep.

387. October 23, 1925
     =============
     On this day in 1925, John William Carson – who became known to most of America as the longtime host of the popular late-night TV program The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson – was born in Corning, Iowa. As host of the highly rated Tonight Show, which aired on NBC from 1962 to 1992, Carson became a bona fide American institution and entertainment icon.

     Carson grew up in Norfolk, Nebraska, served in the U.S. Navy and attended the University of Nebraska. By the early 1950s, he was living in California and working in radio and the then-new medium of television. He later moved to New York City, and in 1957 became host of the popular game show Who Do You Trust? In 1958, Carson appeared on The Tonight Show as a substitute for host Jack Paar. The Tonight Show had originated in 1951 in Los Angeles as a radio program hosted by Steve Allen. In 1954, the program moved to TV and in 1956, Jack Parr replaced Allen as the host. Carson took over permanent hosting duties from Parr on October 1, 1962. He hosted the show from New York City until 1972, when it relocated to Burbank, California.

     Each edition of The Tonight Show began with Carson’s sidekick Ed McMahon announcing “Heeere’s Johnny!” Carson, who became known for his relaxed, affable stage presence and dapper appearance, performed an opening monologue of jokes, punctuated by his trademark golf swing. Following the monologue, he would banter with McMahon and the show’s bandleader, Doc Severinsen, and would sometimes perform skits and play characters such as Carnac the Magnificent, an “all-knowing seer,” and the gossipy Aunt Blabby. Carson then conducted celebrity interviews. The Tonight Show featured the day’s biggest movie and TV stars, as well as athletes, politicians, singers, comedians and animal acts. According to his New York Times obituary: “During his reign, Mr. Carson was the most powerful single performer on television. He discovered or promoted new talent like Barbra Streisand and David Letterman; provided a consistent spotlight for show business warhorses like Don Rickles and Buddy Hackett; advanced the careers of emerging stars like Woody Allen, Steve Martin and, of course, his successor, Jay Leno; and helped keep older performers like Jimmy Stewart and William Demarest in the public eye.”

     In addition to hosting the hugely successful Tonight Show, Carson served as master of ceremonies for the Academy Awards five times during the late 1970s and 1980s. After deciding to retire from The Tonight Show, he hosted his final program on May 22, 1992. The comedian Jay Leno took over hosting duties the following day. After retiring, Carson, who was married four times, stayed out of the public spotlight. He died of complications from emphysema on January 23, 2005, at the age of 79.

389. Good morning Pete and Forest. and yes Forest I did read your response and I thank you and Pete for your interest.
     Today I am going to attempt to print out something from EWAO – This article has had more impact on me personally than anything I have read in quite some time, and although it’s long, every word of it is worth repeating. By my own admission my strongest Friday night essence has secretly been to write with honesty and truth articles like this one. It is called “The Lie We Live” by Spencer Cathcart.
     ” At this moment you could be anywhere doing anything , instead of you sit alone in front of a screen so what’s stopping us from doing what we want, or being where we want to be. Each day we wake up in the same room, and follow the same path, to live the same day as yesterday, yet at one time each day was a new adventure. Along the way something changed. Before days were timeless and our days were scheduled . This is what it means to be grown up? To be free? but are we really free? Food, water, land, the very elements we need to survive are owned by corporations. There’s no food for us on trees, no fresh water in streams , no land to build homes. If you try to take what the Earth provides you will be locked away so we obey their rules , We discover the world through text books. For years we sit and register what we are told , tested and graded like subjects in a lab, raised not to make a difference in this world, raised to be no different smart enough to do our job but not question why we do it. So we work and work , left with no time to live the life we work for, until a day comes when we are considered too old to do our job and it is here we are left to die. Our children take our place on the coarse ? to us our path is unique, but together we are nothing more than fuel. Fuel that powers the elite. The elite who hide behind a corporation . This is there world and there most valuable resource is not in the ground , it is us. We build there cities , we run there machines, we fight there wars, after all money is not drives them it’s power. Money is but a tool they use to control us , worthless pieces of paper we depend on to feed us , move us entertain us. They gave us money and in return we give them the world. With the trees that clean our air are now factories that poison us, where their was water to drink, there is now toxic waste that stinks. Where animals ran free are factory farms where they board and slaughter endlessly for our satisfaction. Over a billion people are starving in spite of growing enough food for everybody and where does it all go? Over seventy percent of the grain we grow is fed to the animals we eat for dinner. Why help the starving ? They can’t profit off them. We are like plague sweeping the Earth tearing apart the very environment that allows us to live. We see everything as something to be sold, an object to be owned, but what happens when we polluted the last river ? poisoned the last breath of air, have no oil for trucks to bring us food, when will we realize that money cant be used that it has no value? We are destroying the planet and the life on it. Every year thousands of species go extinct and the time is running out before were next. If you live in America , there is a 41% chance you will get cancer , and heart disease for every one out of three Americans. We take the prescription drugs to deal with the problem, but medicine is the third leading cause of death behind cancer and heart disease, We are told everything can be solved by throwing money at scientists so they can discover a pill that will make our problems go away. But the drug companies and cancer societies are making us suffer to make a profit, and we think we are running for a cure but were really just running away for a cause. Our body is a product of what we consume and our food is designed purely for profit. We fill ourselves with toxic chemicals , bodies of animals infested with drugs and diseases but we don’t see this. The small groups of corporations that own the media don’t want us to. Surrounding us with a fantasy we are told is reality . It’s funny to think were the center of the Universe, but then again we see ourselves as the center of the planet. We point to our technology and say we are the smartest, but does our computers care and our factories really demonstrate how intelligent we are, or do they show how lazy we have become. We put this civilized mask on , but when you strip it away, what are we? How quickly we forget only the past 100 years have we allowed women to vote. allow blacks to live as equals. We act as if we are all knowing , yet there is much we fail to see. We walk down the street ignoring the little things, the eyes who stare, the stories they share. Seeing everything in a back ground . Perhaps we fear we are not alone, that we are part of a much bigger picture, but we fail to make the connection. .. were OK killing pigs , cows , chickens and strangers in foreign lands , but not our neighbors , not our dogs and cats, those we have came to love and understand. We call other creatures stupid , yet we point to them to justify our actions , but is killing something we just because we can. Does killing them make it right or does it show how little we have learned, that we continue to act out of primal aggression rather than thought and compassion. One day this sensation we call life will leave us , our bodies will rot, our valuables collected but yesterdays actions will remain. Death constantly surrounds ,still it seems so distant from our world of reality, we live everyday on a world on the edge of collapse . The wars of tomorrow will have no winners for violence will never be the answer. It will destroy every possible solution. If we all look at our inner most desire, we will see our dreams are not so different. We share a common goal: happiness. We tear the world apart looking for joy without looking within our selves. Many of the happiest people are the ones who own the least. Are we really happy with our I-phones, our big house, our fancy cars. We’ve become disconnected , idolizing people we’ve never met. We witness the extra ordinary on a screen , but ordinary everywhere else We want for someone to bring change without ever thinking about changing ourselves. Presidential elections might as well be a coin toss, 2 sides of the same coin, We choose what for we want and the illusions of choice we want of changes created ,but the world remains the same. We fail to realize the politicians don’t serve us, they serve those who fund them into the power. We need leaders, not politicians , but in this world of followers , we have forgot to lead ourselves. Stop waiting for change and be the change you want to see. We didn’t get to this point by sitting on our asses, The human race did not survive because we are the fastest, or the strongest , but because we work together, We have mastered the act of killing, now us master the joy of living. This is not about saving the planet, the planet will be here or not Earth has been here for billions of years, but most of us will be lucky to last 80. We are but a flash in time, but our impact is forever. So for better or for worse, our generation will determine the life on this planet, we can continue to serve this system of destruction on this planet until no memory of it exists or we can wake up and realize we are either revolving up or rather falling down. We just have screens in our faces so we don’t see where we are headed, and this present moment is what every step, every breathe, every death has led up to. We are the faces of all who came before us, now it’s our turn to carve our own path or follow the path countless others have already taken. Life is not a movie, the script is not already written, This is your story, there story, our story. ……….I know this took up a lot of time and space, but felt it was important enough for everyone to read. Apologize for any errors or spellings. Thanks for reading, and with love to all.

391. October 23, 1976
     =============
     CHICAGIO — one of history’s most prolific rock bands—had its first #1 hit
     on October 23, 1976, with “If You Leave Me Now.”

     The rock band Chicago churned out full-length albums at a rate that’s never been
     surpassed by a pop group of their stature. Not only did the group release nine
     albums in their first seven years of existence (1969-75), but among those nine
     releases were four double albums and one quadruple album, Chicago at Carnegie
     Hall (1971). That’s 16 LPs in seven years, all of them selling at an incredible rate,
     which means that in terms of sheer tonnage, Chicago probably shipped more
     vinyl than any other American rock band in the 1970s. It was a feat made all the
     more incredible by the fact that the members of Chicago could have walked
     through O’Hare Airport at the height of their success without attracting so much
     as a single screaming fan.

     It’s not that Chicago’s fans didn’t love them, for they certainly did. But the collective ethos of the
     band was to keep individual egos out of things, even to the point of using a logo rather than a
     picture of the band on nearly every one of their albums. “Chicago is the most successful
     experiment in group therapy ever to go down in history,” founding member Robert
     Lamm has said. Critics may never have embraced the group’s jazzy,
     middle-of-the road sound, but with upwards of 150 million
     albums sold worldwide, it’s impossible to refute the
     quantitative argument for Chicago’s greatness.

     Chicago’s success as album-sellers may overshadow their success on the singles charts,
     but not by very much. “If You Leave Me Now” became their first #1 hit on this day in 1976,
     but the group had already placed nine singles in the Billboard Top 10 by the time that
     Peter Cetera-penned ballad reached the top of the charts. Among those early hits were
     “25 Or 6 To 4″ (1970), “Saturday In The Park” (1972) and “Just You ‘N’ Me” (1973), and many
     more were to follow. Chicago earned two more #1 hits post-1976 with “Hard To Say I’m
     Sorry” (1982) and “Look Away” (1988), and seven other Top 10s, including “Baby What A
     Big Surprise” (1977), “Hard Habit To Break” and “You’re The Inspiration” (both 1982).

392. October 22, 1992
     =============
     On October 22, 1992, Red Barber — the legendary announcer for the Brooklyn Dodgers,
     with a voice that one sportswriter called “a spoonful of sugar drifting through a glass of
     iced tea” — died. He was 84 years old. In an era when almost every major league baseball
     team had a distinct voice — Mel Allen for the Yankees, Curt Gowdy for the Red Sox, Harry
     Caray for the Cardinals — Barber’s erudite-but-homespun Mississippi twang was the
     Dodgers. He pioneered a colorful, reportorial style of play-by-play narration that
     generations of broadcasters have imitated. He gave his listeners a scrupulously detailed
     but carefully nonpartisan version of the events on the field, so that they could feel like
     they were sitting in the stands themselves.

     Barber’s baseball-broadcasting career began with the Cincinnati Reds in 1934 – when the 26-year-old announcer called the first major league game he had ever seen – and ended in 1966 when the New York Yankees fired him for noting on air that only 413 people had come to watch the last-place Bombers play. But from 1939 to 1953 – his years as the play-by-play announcer for the Brooklyn Dodgers – Barber became a citywide celebrity. He invented an entirely new vocabulary that was nevertheless almost instantly familiar to anyone who listened to his broadcasts for more than a few minutes. To Barber, the baseball diamond was “the pea patch.” An argument was “a rhubarb.” A sure-thing game was “tied up in the crocus sack” and a team that had a game well in hand was “sitting in the catbird seat.” Everyone who heard Barber say that the bases were “FOB” knew he meant that they were full of Brooklyn players. Likewise, listeners knew that a player who was “assuming the ballistic burden” was coming in to relieve the pitcher.

     Meanwhile, Barber broadcast some of baseball’s most important moments: the first night game and the first televised game, for example, along with Jackie Robinson’s first game as a Dodger and Roger Maris’ record-breaking home run. Fans adored him. Once after the Dodgers won the pennant, they mobbed him as he left Ebbets Field and pulled out handfuls of his hair to keep as souvenirs. During baseball season, his voice was everywhere. “People tell me you could walk through Brooklyn without a radio and still hear Red describe the game,” sportscaster Bob Costas said. “You wouldn’t miss a pitch because it would come from an apartment windowsill, from a storefront, from a car radio with its window open.”

     In 1978, Red Barber and Mel Allen were the first announcers to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Three years later, Barber’s vivid, literate broadcast style won him a whole new generation of fans when he joined newsman Bob Edwards for four minutes every Friday morning on NPR’s Morning Edition to talk about politics, gardening, family — and, of course, baseball.

393. Hey Wayne and Forest —
     It’s Monday afternoon – 10/23/17.

     I liked the post on spirituality. Also the one about I.Q.
     They have found that EQ (emotional quotient) is more
     important (and less biased than IQ). I don’t understand
     it all, but good information you posted. !!!! pez

394. HEY, WAYNE & CHERYL,

     I WROTE THE FOLLOWING POST ON OCTOBER 18TH, AND ADDRESSED IT TO YOU AND CHERYL, BUT IT APPEARS THAT YOU MAY HAVE “MISSED IT, ” SO I HAVE COPIED AND PASTED IT AGAIN, TO BE CERTAIN THAT YOU SEE IT THIS TIME. MAYBE YOU “DID” READ IT — I DON’T KNOW, BUT YOU HAVE ALWAYS RESPONDED TO MY POSTS IN THE PAST.

     HERE IT IS AGAIN:

     Forest says
     Wednesday, October 18, 2017
     Greetings to you Wayne & Cheryl, —

     It may well be – that a Bicameral Mind-Set – “Could Believe” that there is some POWERFUL EXTERNAL FORCE – which “ALLOWS” humans to absorb only a LIMITED amount of information, and “At A Pace” which ONLY “THEY” determine we are capable of receiving.

     However, — I don’t believe this at all!! Science has discovered that our brains operate on such a High-Powered Function and Capability, — that Educators who gave “Intelligence Quotient” (“I Q”) Tests in the past, didn’t have a single clue to the REAL FACTS of this matter!! It is now known – that our Brains have a Function and Capability called “Neuro-Plasticity” – which means that every single “THOUGHT” we think, — every “WORD” we speak, every “BELIEF” we cling to, and every “ACTION” we take – “CREATES” a brand new Neuro Pathway in the Brain!! In Addition to this, — all of the above mentioned things which we do “Repetitively” (Continuous Repetition) causes those New Neuro Pathways to become DEEPER, WIDER, LONGER, until they become like Strongly Imbedded Super Highways in the Brain, — and Science has discovered that this “Neuro-Plasticity” causes the brain to “GROW” and to “DEVELOP” in ways which were “FORMERLY believed to be IMPOSSIBLE” for humans to achieve!!
     In other words, in the PAST, it was believed that our “I Q” was “FIXED” – at a level of intelligence which Could, or Would — NEVER CHANGE!!

     Therefore, if it was believed that a person’s “I Q” was Forever Fixed, then there was no motivation for anyone to advance forward to any of their dreams or desires.

     Fortunately, because of this New Scientific Discovery, there is “NO LIMIT” to the Abilities and Capabilities we “BELIEVE” that we can Achieve!!

     Sincerely, and with Love, —

     Carol and Forest

     ==========================================
     Wayne Says, —
     It appears we are rapidly developing better technological devises and equipment allowing us to explore outer space as never before, but does any one else besides me ever wondered if there could me a more powerful force that “allows” us as humans to absorb only so much information and at a pace “they” are wittingly wanting us to have, (other than some exceptions such as Nikola Tesla and a few others) Each generation seems to think they are far more smarter and superior than their elders, but what if that wasn’t the case at all? Never mind. It could just be a novice Neo-thinker in training, who on occasion — lets his still bicameral mind delve into uncharted waters from time to time. “BUT..WHAT IF”…. all those who believe in the big bang theory were able to observe it from a telescope in their own back yard some day! Now, THAT would be something to see!! Thanks for reading. Love and pure honesty may be the answer to this chaotic world we share today.

395. The weekend is here. Out of force of habit, the weekends have always been a time of reflection, and to gather my thoughts and sneak into my quiet time. This article I am posting tonight , I don’t 100 % agree with but does have some valid points, and does sort of help to explain one of Neo-Thinks biggest problems , Mysticisms. It points out 7 major differences between spirituality and religion. Although they might seem very alike at first glance , they are actually very different, and share some common characteristics but are entirely different concepts. While some people argue they are the same thing and envision spirituality as strange and fictional , it is actually one of the most natural things there is. It is your conscious self recognizing that you are more than just a body , you are an infinite soul . Hopefully, this will point out some of the major differences between the two. SPIRITUALITY DOES NOT SET RULES. Religion tends to follow an ideology that emphasizes the things you can and cannot do , There is typically a good amount of rules involved while spirituality has no rules, It embraces the naturalness of the human being and encourages you to become connected with your sense of interaction and the higher self. SPIRITUALITY MAKES YOU DISCOVER THE TRUTH ON YOUR OWN. Religions will typically try to tell you what the truth is, what happened, and what your supposed to be doing, and the reason behind it all. However, spirituality allows you to discover the truth yourself and lets you connect with your higher consciousness on your journey of learning . RELIGION MAKES YOU DEPENDENT. Instead of making you dependent on something or some higher self, spirituality sets you free and lets you be independent . It encourages getting deeper within the self and experiencing individuality, instead of making you bow. It sets you free. RELIGION APPLIES PUNISHMENT. In many different aspects of essentially every religion it uses punishment to force you to act a certain way or do something. Spirituality does not punish you , it simply emphasizes karma, it will always get you or give you a taste of your own medicine. By doing onto others as you would do to your own self you allow yourself to be set free of negativity and punishment forever. SPIRITUALITY ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE YOUR OWN PATH. Religions tell you everything about life and what we are supposed to be doing. It tells you a story of a foundation of a God or Gods whom we must trust forever, respect and serve. Spirituality encourages you to find your own path of enlightenment and discover your own truths. SPIRITUALITY UNITES ALL RELIGIONS. Okay, this is one I might want to agree 100 % with) Religions have a horrific rule of criminalizing and separating you from other religions. Instead of separating religions spirituality encourages them all because its all forms of self expression and higher consciousness. SPIRITUALITY IS WITHIN YOU. Perhaps the biggest difference is that religion requires you to serve , bow, and earn rewards , while spirituality is within you. Your biggest achievement is already won and you possess it deep within yourself and all you have to do is let it out! Like said in the beginning, perhaps the best explanation but has more substance than what we normally get from a A/C world. Love to all my friends and mentors.

     An iconic figure in the history of jazz music who was instantly recognizable even to millions of non-jazz fans by his puffed-out cheeks and his trademark trumpet, with its horn bent upwards at a 45-degree angle, John Birks Gillespie — better known as “Dizzy” — was born on this day in 1917 in Cheraw, South Carolina.

     The youngest of nine children in a musical family, John Gillespie began playing piano at the age of four and took up the trombone and trumpet at the age of 12. He showed enough talent on the latter instrument to earn a music scholarship to North Carolina’s Laurinburg Institute at the age of 15, but even through his high school years, Gillespie was essentially self-taught.

     In the late 1930s, at the height of the Swing era, John Gillespie worked his way through a succession of increasingly prestigious big bands, earning a reputation as a talented performer and as a free spirit worthy of the nickname, “Dizzy.” By 1939, at the age of 22, he was playing for Cab Calloway, one of the most successful bandleaders of the time. Dizzy would stay with Calloway’s band through 1941, but more important than the recordings on which he appeared during this period were the connections he made with fellow musicians who would greatly influence the next phase of his career — musicians that included the great saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker and the pianist Thelonious Monk.

     During their late-night jam sessions in the early 1940s at New York clubs like Minton’s Playhouse in Harlem, Gillespie, Parker and Monk, among several others, established an entirely new sound in jazz: bebop. Because of a recording ban instigated by union musicians during the bulk of World War II, the evolution of bebop was not documented in commercial recordings. In the postwar era, however, the revolutionary new style took the jazz world by storm and established Gillespie’s international reputation. In addition to acting as one of bebop’s founding fathers, Dizzy Gillespie also pioneered the fusion of Afro-Cuban rhythms with jazz music in the 1940s, helping to create another jazz genre of enormous popularity and importance.

     Jazz pioneer Dizzy Gillespie died of pancreatic cancer on January 6, 1993, at the age of 75.

     On this day in 1929 – the 50th birthday of the incandescent light bulb – Henry Ford threw a big party to celebrate the dedication of his new Thomas Edison Institute in Dearborn, Michigan. Everybody who was anybody was there: John D. Rockefeller Jr., Charles Schwab, Otto H. Kahn, Walter Chrysler, Marie Curie, Will Rogers, President Herbert Hoover — and, of course, the guest of honor, Thomas Edison himself. At the time, the Edison Institute was still relatively small. It consisted of just two buildings, both of which Henry Ford had moved from Menlo Park, New Jersey and re-constructed to look just as they had in 1879: Edison’s laboratory and the boarding-house where he had lived while he perfected his invention. By the time the Institute opened to the public in 1933, however, it had grown much more elaborate and today the Henry Ford Museum (renamed after Ford’s death in 1947) is one of the largest and best-known museums in the country.

     Ford’s museum was an epic expression of his own interpretation of American history, emphasizing industrial and technological progress and the “practical genius” of great Americans. Its collection grew to include every Ford car ever built, along with other advances in automotive and locomotive technology. There were also farm tools, home appliances, furniture and industrial machines such as the printing press and the Newcomen steam engine. On a 200-acre tract next door, Ford built a quaint all-American village by importing historic homes and buildings from across the United States. “When we are through,” Ford told The New York Times, “we shall have reproduced American life as lived; and that, I think, is the best way of preserving at least a part of our history and tradition.”

     Today, there are more than 200 cars on display at the Ford museum, including the 15 millionth Model T, the Ford 999 racer that set the world speed record in 1904, the first Mustang ever produced and a 1997 EV1 electric car made by General Motors. More than 2 million people visit “The Henry Ford,” as it’s now called, every year

     On this day in 1994, Burt Lancaster – a former circus performer who rose to fame as a Hollywood leading man with some 70 movies to his credit – including died of a heart attack at the age of 80 in Century City, California.

     Lancaster was born on November 2, 1913, in New York City and raised in East Harlem. After a stint at New York University, which he attended on an athletic scholarship, he quit to join the circus, where he worked as an acrobat. An injury forced Lancaster to give up the circus in 1939, and he worked a series of jobs until he was drafted into the Army in 1942. Three years later, while on leave, Lancaster’s acting career was launched after he went to visit the woman who would become his second wife at the theatrical office where she was employed and was asked by a producer’s assistant to audition for a Broadway play. He got the part, as an Army sergeant, and soon got noticed by Hollywood. In 1946, Lancaster made his silver-screen debut opposite Ava Gardner in The Killers, based on an Ernest Hemingway short story. Lancaster stars as The Swede, a former boxer who’s tangled up with the mob and waiting to be murdered by hit men.

     He went on to star in the 1951 biopic Jim Thorpe: All-American, about the Native American Olympian, and 1952’s The Crimson Pirate, in which he put his acrobatic skills to use as the swashbuckling title character. In 1953, he co-starred with Deborah Kerr and Frank Sinatra in From Here to Eternity, a World War II film set in Hawaii just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The film, which contained the now-iconic scene in which Lancaster and Kerr are locked in a beachside embrace as waves roll over them, earned Lancaster his first Best Actor Oscar nomination. Among Lancaster’s other movie credits during the 1950s were Apache (1954), in which he plays a Native American warrior; Sweet Smell of Success (1957), in which he plays a ruthless gossip columnist; and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), in which he portrays Wyatt Earp to Kirk Douglas’s Doc Holliday.

     During the 1960s and 1970s, Lancaster appeared in movies such as 1960’s Elmer Gantry, which earned him a Best Actor Oscar for his performance as a con man turned preacher; 1961’s Judgment at Nuremberg, about the World War II Nazi war-crime trials; 1962’s Birdman of Alcatraz, which was based on the true story of a convicted murderer who becomes a bird expert while behind bars and garnered Lancaster another Best Actor Oscar nomination; Italian director Luchino Visconti’s 1963 historical drama The Leopard, in which Lancaster plays an aging aristocrat; 1968’s The Swimmer, based on a John Cheever story; the 1970 disaster movie Airport; and 1979’s Zulu Dawn, with Peter O’Toole and Bob Hoskins.

     In 1980, Lancaster co-starred in director Louis Malle’s Atlantic City and his performance as an aging gangster earned him his fourth Best Actor Academy Award nomination. He was also featured in Local Hero (1983), in which he plays an eccentric oil company owner; and 1989’s Field of Dreams, starring Kevin Costner.

     Lancaster formed a production company with his agent, Harold Hecht, in the 1950s, becoming one of the first actors in Hollywood to do so. Among his producing credits were 1955’s Marty, which won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actor (Ernest Borgnine).

399. October 20, 1977
     =============
     In the summer of 1977, members of the rock band Aerosmith inspected an airplane they were considering chartering for their upcoming tour — a Convair 240 operated out of Addison, Texas. Concerns over the flight crew led Aerosmith to look elsewhere — a decision that saved one band but doomed another. The aircraft in question was instead chartered by the band Lynyrd Skynyrd, who were just setting out that autumn on a national tour that promised to be their biggest to date. On this day in 1977, however, during a flight from Greenville, South Carolina, to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s tour plane crashed in a heavily wooded area of southeastern Mississippi during a failed emergency landing attempt, killing band-members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines as well as the band’s assistant road manager and the plane’s pilot and co-pilot. Twenty others survived the crash.

     The original core of Lynyrd Skynyrd — Ronnie Van Zant, Bob Burns, Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Larry Junstrom — first came together under the name “My Backyard” back in 1964, as Jacksonville, Florida, teenagers. Under that name and several others, the group developed its chops playing local and regional gigs throughout the 1960s and early 1970s, then finally broke out nationally in 1973 following the adoption of the name “Lynyrd Skynyrd” in honor of a high school gym teacher/nemesis named Leonard Skinner. The newly renamed band scored a major hit with their hard-driving debut album (pronounced ‘lĕh-‘nérd ‘skin-‘nérd) (1973), which featured one of the most familiar and joked-about rock anthems of all time, “Free Bird.” Their follow-up album, Second Helping (1974), included the even bigger hit “Sweet Home Alabama,” and it secured the band’s status as giants of the southern rock subgenre.

     On October 17, 1977, Lynyrd Skynyrd — now in a lineup that included backup singer Cassie Gaines and her guitarist brother, Steve — released their fifth studio album, Street Survivors, which would eventually be certified double-platinum. Three days later, however, tragedy struck the group when their chartered Convair 240 began to run out of fuel at 6,000 feet en route to Baton Rouge. The plane’s crew, whom the National Transportation Safety Board would hold responsible for the mishap in the accident report issued eight months later, radioed Houston air-traffic control as the plane lost altitude, asking for directions to the nearest airfield. “We’re low on fuel and we’re just about out of it,” the pilot told Houston Center at approximately 6:42 pm. “We want vectors to McComb [airfield] poste-haste please, sir.” Approximately 13 minutes later, however, the plane crashed just outside of Gillsburg, Mississippi.

400. October 19, 1985
     =============
     On this day in 1985, the first Blockbuster video-rental store opened in Dallas, Texas.
     At a time when most video stores were small-scale operations featuring a limited
     selection of titles, Blockbuster opened with some 8,000 tapes displayed on shelves
     around the store and a computerized check-out process. The first store was a
     success and Blockbuster expanded rapidly, eventually becoming one of the world’s
     largest providers of in-home movies and game entertainment.

     Blockbuster was founded by David Cook, who had previously owned a business that provided
     computer software services to the oil and gas industry in Texas. Cook saw the potential in
     the video-rental business and after opening the first Blockbuster in 1985, he added three
     more stores the following year. In 1987, he sold part of the business to a group of
     investors that included Wayne Huizenga, founder of Waste Management, Inc.,
     the world’s biggest garbage disposal company. Later that year, Cook left
     Blockbuster and Huizenga assumed control of the company and
     moved its headquarters to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Under
     Huizenga’s leadership, Blockbuster embarked on an aggressive
     expansion plan, snapping up existing video store chains and opening scores
     of new stores. By 1988, Blockbuster was America’s leading video chain, with some
     400 stores. By the early 1990s, Blockbuster had launched its 1,000th store and expanded
     into the overseas market.

     In 1994, Blockbuster was acquired by the media giant Viacom Inc., whose brands include MTV
     and Nickelodeon. In the mid-1990s, the digital video disc (DVD) made its debut and in 1997,
     Netflix, an online DVD rental service, was founded. Around that same time, the e-commerce
     giant Amazon.com launched a video and DVD store. Blockbuster faced additional competition
     from the rise of pay-per-view and on-demand movie services, through which viewers could
     pay for and watch movies instantly in their own homes. In 2004, Blockbuster split off from
     Viacom. That same year, Blockbuster launched an online DVD rental service to compete
     with Netflix. As of 2008, Blockbuster had some 8,000 stores around the world and was well
     known for its advertising campaigns, which included the long-running slogan “Make it a
     Blockbuster Night.” In 2006, the company, headquartered once again in Dallas, had global
     revenues of more than $5.5 billion.

402. October 18, 1977
     =============
     On October 18, 1977 – in the sixth game of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers – New York Yankees outfielder Reggie Jackson hit three home runs in a row off of three consecutive pitches from three different pitchers. Only the great Babe Ruth had ever hit three homers in a single World Series game (and he did it twice, once in 1926 and once in 1928) — but he didn’t do it on consecutive pitches or even consecutive at-bats. Jackson’s amazing home-run streak helped the Yankees win the game and the series, the team’s first since 1962.

     During his pre-game batting practice, Jackson was unstoppable: He stepped to the plate and immediately knocked three pitches high into Yankee Stadium’s third-tier seats. Then he smacked the next one hard into the rear wall of the right-field bleachers. Jackson kept on pounding homers into the stands — so many that that backup catcher Fran Healy was reminded of the old baseball adage that the better you hit in batting practice, the worse you hit when it counts. As a result, Healy later recalled, “I thought to myself, ‘Boy, is he gonna have a horseshit game.’”

     But he didn’t. In the second inning, Dodger pitcher Burt Hooten managed to palm Jackson off with a walk, but on his next at-bat, in the fourth, the slugger nailed Hooten’s first pitch low and hard into the right-field bleachers – “a line drive,” Los Angeles Times reporter Jim Murray wrote, “that would have crossed state lines and gone through the side of a battleship on its way to the seats.” In the fifth, with two out and two on, Jackson treated reliever Elias Sosa’s first pitch the same way. And in the eighth, he emerged from the dugout to a standing ovation, reached down for pitcher Charlie Hough’s diving knuckleball, and sent it flying 450 feet into the center-field bleachers. It was, Murray wrote, a “booming Jack Nicklaus-type tee shot, high and far, the kind that pitchers wake up screaming in the middle of the night over.”

     That last homer put the Yanks in the lead 8-3, and — in spite of the ubiquitous security guards and policemen in riot gear who lined the first and third base lines — the stadium was about to explode. It got so bad that Jackson had to come in from the outfield during the last inning and get a batting helmet to protect his head from the cherry bombs and firecrackers that the bleacher creatures were throwing onto the field. When the game ended, the field flooded with fans. They had a new hero: Reggie Jackson, now known as “Mr. October.”

     In his 21-year career, Jackson hit 563 home runs and retired as the all-time leader in Series slugging, with a .755 average. And no one ever achieved what he did in 1977: three home runs in three swings, and five homers in all in the series. Still, Jackson was uncharacteristically modest. “Babe Ruth was great,” he said. “I’m just lucky.”

403. October 18, 1931
     =============
     Thomas Alva Edison – perhaps the most prolific inventor in history – died on
     this day in West Orange, New Jersey. Edison was 84 years og age.

     Born in Milan, Ohio, in 1847, Edison received little formal schooling, which was customary for
     most Americans at the time. He developed serious hearing problems at an early age, and this
     disability provided the motivation for many of his inventions. At age 16, he found work as a
     telegraph operator and soon was devoting much of his energy and natural ingenuity toward
     improving the telegraph system itself. By 1869, he was pursuing invention full-time and in
     1876 moved into a laboratory and machine shop in Menlo Park, New Jersey.

     Edison’s experiments were guided by his remarkable intuition, but he also took care to employ
     assistants who provided the mathematical and technical expertise he lacked. At Menlo Park,
     Edison continued his work on the telegraph, and in 1877 he stumbled on one of his great
     inventions — the phonograph — while working on a way to record telephone communication.
     Public demonstrations of the phonograph made the Yankee inventor world famous, and he
     was dubbed the “Wizard of Menlo Park.”

     Although the discovery of a way to record and play back sound ensured him a place in the
     annals of history, it was just the first of several Edison creations that would transform late
     19th-century life. Among other notable inventions, Edison and his assistants developed the
     first practical incandescent lightbulb in 1879, and a forerunner of the movie camera and
     projector in the late 1880s. In 1887, he opened the world’s first industrial research laboratory
     at West Orange, where he employed dozens of workers to systematically investigate a given
     subject.

     Perhaps his greatest contribution to the modern industrial world came from his work in
     electricity. He developed a complete electrical distribution system for light and power,
     set up the world’s first power plant in New York City, and invented the alkaline battery,
     the first electric railroad, and a host of other inventions that laid the basis for the
     modern electric world. He continued to work into his 80s and acquired 1,093 patents
     in his lifetime. He died at his home in New Jersey on October 18, 1931.

     The deadliest earthquake to hit the San Francisco area since 1906 struck at 5:04 p.m. and
     lasted for 15 seconds. The quake measured 7.1 on the Richter scale, and its aftermath was
     witnessed on live television by millions of people watching the third game of the World
     Series of baseball between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics, held at
     Candlestick Park in San Francisco. The tremor hit moments before the start of the game,
     and sportscasters were soon performing the duties of news anchors as they reported on
     the resulting pandemonium in the stadium. The earthquake killed a total of 63 people,
     while more than 3,000 others were injured and more than 100,000 buildings were damaged.

     Greetings to you Wayne & Cheryl, —

     It may well be – that a Bicameral Mind-Set – “Could Believe” that there is some POWERFUL EXTERNAL FORCE – which “ALLOWS” humans to absorb only a LIMITED amount of information, and “At A Pace” which ONLY “THEY” determine we are capable of receiving.

     However, — I don’t believe this at all!! Science has discovered that our brains operate on such a High-Powered Function and Capability, — that Educators who gave “Intelligence Quotient” (“I Q”) Tests in the past, didn’t have a single clue to the REAL FACTS of this matter!! It is now known – that our Brains have a Function and Capability called “Neuro-Plasticity” – which means that every single “THOUGHT” we think, — every “WORD” we speak, every “BELIEF” we cling to, and every “ACTION” we take – “CREATES” a brand new Neuro Pathway in the Brain!! In Addition to this, — all of the above mentioned things which we do “Repetitively” (Continuous Repetition) causes those New Neuro Pathways to become DEEPER, WIDER, LONGER, until they become like Strongly Imbedded Super Highways in the Brain, — and Science has discovered that this “Neuro-Plasticity” causes the brain to “GROW” and to “DEVELOP” in ways which were “FORMERLY believed to be IMPOSSIBLE” for humans to achieve!!
     In other words, in the PAST, it was believed that our “I Q” was “FIXED” – at a level of intelligence which Could, or Would — NEVER CHANGE!!
     Therefore, if it was believed that a person’s “I Q” was Forever Fixed, then there was no motivation for anyone to advance forward to any of their dreams or desires.

     Fortunately, because of this New Scientific Discovery, there is “NO LIMIT” to the Abilities and Capabilities we “BELIEVE” that we can Achieve!!

     Sincerely, and with Love, —

     Carol and Forest

     It appears we are rapidly developing better technological devises and equipment allowing us to explore outer space as never before, but does any one else besides me ever wondered if there could me a more powerful force that “allows” us as humans to absorb only so much information and at a pace “they” are wittingly wanting us to have, (other than some exceptions such as Nikola Tesla and a few others) Each generation seems to think they are far more smarter and superior than their elders, but what if that wasn’t the case at all? Never mind. It could just be a novice Neo-thinker in training, who on occasion — lets his still bicameral mind delve into uncharted waters from time to time. “BUT..WHAT IF”…. all those who believe in the big bang theory were able to observe it from a telescope in their own back yard some day! Now, THAT would be something to see!! Thanks for reading. Love and pure honesty may be the answer to this chaotic world we share today.

406. Hi Judith, Pete, Forest. and any other readers and posters along the way. ( Thar’s GOLD out there in them thar stars) I got this piece of info from “NBC news with Lester Holt,” so it must be true ,right! ……… Astronomers just made a radical discovery about merging neutron stars 130 million light years away. For the first time ever , they observed both gravitational waves and light coming from the same event. This once in a lifetime discovery can change the way we study the Universe. The observations were made by a fleet of European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes on August 17, 2017. LIGO,( which stands for Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory) , and its European counterparts Virgo detected gravitational waves passing the Earth. Seconds later, other space laboratories began detecting a short gamma burst from the same area in space. 70 optical and radio telescopes were finally able to pinpoint the source of the commotion, a brightening point of light near the galaxy NGC 4993. Scientists believe this resulted from the collision of two neutron stars known as a Kilonova . This cataclysmic event is believed to be 1000 times brighter than a typical nova. Neutron stars are the smallest and densest stars known to exist. When they merge a burst of rapidly expanding heavy chemical elements such as gold and platinum are dispersed through out the Universe. This phenomenon has long been suggested by astronomers but this is the first confirmed observation. It has huge implication for the study of the Universe as well as the origins of elements like gold and platinum in space, Also this means that our gold and platinum jewelry might have a more greater history than we realize.( End of Article. ) A thought occurred to me as I was typing this story. It appears we are rapidly developing better technological devises and equipment allowing us to explore outer space as never before, but does any one else besides me ever wondered if there could me a more powerful force that allows us as humans to absorb only so much information and at a pace they are wittingly wanting us to have, (other than some exceptions such as Nikola Tesla and a few others) Each generation seems to think they are far more smarter and superior than their elders, but what if that wasn’t the case at all?

     =============
     On October 16, 1958, Chevrolet begins selling a car-truck hybrid called the El Camino.
     Inspired by the Ford Ranchero, which had already been on the market for two years,
     the El Camino was a combination sedan-pickup truck built on the Impala body, with
     the same “cat’s eye” taillights and dramatic rear fins. It was, according to advertisements,
     “the most beautiful thing that ever shouldered a load!” “It rides and handles like a
     convertible,” Chevy said, “yet hauls and hustles like the workingest thing on wheels.”

     Ford’s Ranchero was the first “car-truck” sold in the United States, but it was not a new
     idea. Since the 1930s, Australian farmers had been driving what they called “utes” — short
     for “coupé utility” — all around the outback. Legend has it that a farmer’s wife from rural
     Victoria had written a letter to Ford Australia, asking the company to build a car that
     could carry her to church on Sundays and her husband’s pigs to market on Mondays.
     In response, Ford engineer Lewis Brandt designed a low-slung sedan-based vehicle
     that was a ritzy passenger car in the front, with wind-up windows and comfortable
     seats and a rough-and-tumble pickup in back. The ute was a huge hit; eventually,
     virtually every company that sold cars Down Under made its own version.

     In the United States, however, ute-type vehicles were slower to catch on. Though the
     Ranchero was a steady seller, the first incarnation of the El Camino was not and Chevy
     discontinued it after just two years. In 1964, the company introduced a new version,
     this one built on the brawnier Chevelle platform. In 1968, the more powerful SS engine
     made the El Camino into one of the iconic muscle cars of the late 1960s and 1970s.

     In 1987, Chevrolet dropped the El Camino from its
     lineup for good. Today, the car is a cult classic.

409. October 15, 1989
     =============
     On October 15, 1989, 28-year-old Los Angeles King Wayne Gretzky broke Gordie Howe’s points
     record (1,850) in the final period of a game against the Edmonton Oilers. Gretzky’s record-setting
     goal tied the game; in overtime he scored another, and the Kings won 5-4.

     Gretzky had entered the game with 1,849 points. About five minutes into the first period, he tied
     Howe’s record by earning an assist on the game’s first goal. After that, he didn’t do much, and
     “almost didn’t play the third period,” Gretzky told reporters after the game, because “I got my
     bell rung a few times.” But when he came off the bench with three minutes to go in the game,
     his team down 3-4, he meant business. With 61 seconds left on the clock, defender Steve
     Duchesne shot the puck toward the corner of the goal. It bounced off winger Dave Taylor’s
     knee and slid across the front of the goal. Gretzky, who had set up behind the net (a part
     of the ice that many fans called “Gretzky’s office”), skated around and backhanded the puck
     past Oilers goaltender Bill Ranford and under the crossbar. The game was tied; the record
     was broken.

     Gretzky had played in Edmonton for nine seasons and helped the team win four Stanley Cups,
     so the city’s Northland Coliseum was packed with fans. When he scored his goal, the sellout
     crowd erupted into a thunderous ovation that lasted for more than two minutes. The league
     stopped the game for a ceremony at center ice. Gordie Howe made a speech, and there were
     gifts: a 1.851-carat diamond bracelet (with diamonds spelling out “1,851” across its face) from
     his old teammates, a crystal hologram engraved with his picture from the Kings and a carved
     silver tea tray from the league. Then Gretzky himself took the microphone. He thanked the
     Edmonton fans, his parents and his wife, and he added: “Gordie is still the greatest, in my
     mind, and the greatest in everyone’s mind.”

     Howe, who was 61, returned the younger player’s affection. “If it was, pardon the expression,
     some clown” who’d broken his record, he said, “it would have bothered me. But not Wayne.”
     By the time Gretzky retired at the end of the 1998-99 season, he held or shared 61 NHL
     records. In all, he scored 894 goals and tallied 1,963 assists for 2,857 points in 1,487
     games. He’d broken Howe’s record for goals scored (801) in March 1994, in his
     1,117th game. “You’ve always been the Great One,” NHL Commissioner Gary
     Bettman told him that night, “but tonight you’ve become the greatest.”

     On this day in 1947, U.S. Air Force Captain Chuck Yeager became the first
     person to fly faster than the speed of sound.

     Yeager, born in Myra, West Virginia,in 1923, was a combat fighter during World War II and
     flew 64 missions over Europe. He shot down 13 German planes and was himself shot down
     over France, but he escaped capture with the assistance of the French Underground. After
     the war, he was among several volunteers chosen to test-fly the experimental X-1 rocket
     plane, built by the Bell Aircraft Company to explore the possibility of supersonic flight.

     For years, many aviators believed that man was not meant to fly faster than the speed of
     sound, theorizing that transonic drag rise would tear any aircraft apart. All that changed
     on October 14, 1947, when Yeager flew the X-1 over Rogers Dry Lake in Southern
     California. The X-1 was lifted to an altitude of 25,000 feet by a B-29 aircraft and then
     released through the bomb bay, rocketing to 40,000 feet and exceeding 662 miles per
     hour (the sound barrier at that altitude). The rocket plane, nicknamed “Glamorous Glennis,”
     was designed with thin, unswept wings and a streamlined fuselage modeled after a
     .50-caliber bullet.

     Because of the secrecy of the project, Bell and Yeager’s achievement was not announced
     until June 1948. Yeager continued to serve as a test pilot, and in 1953 he flew 1,650 miles
     per hour in an X-1A rocket plane. He retired from the U.S. Air Force in 1975 with the rank
     of brigadier general.

411. October 14, 1994
     =============
     On this day in 1994, the writer-director Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction – a crime drama
     featuring multiple storylines and a large ensemble cast including John Travolta, Uma
     Thurman, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis and Harvey Keitel, opened in theaters.
     Made for less than $10 million, Pulp Fiction earned more than $100 million at
     the box office and was also a huge critical hit, winning the Palme d’Or at
     the Cannes Film Festival and earning seven Academy Award nominations, including
     Best Picture. Tarantino and Roger Avary shared the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Some
     critics have called Pulp Fiction, which spawned a slew of imitators, the most influential
     movie of its time. It contained such Tarantino trademarks as clever dialogue, graphic violence
     and numerous pop-culture references. The film is also credited with reviving the movie career of
     John Travolta, who as the pony-tailed hit man Vincent Vega shares a memorable dance with his boss’ wife (Thurman) and famously discusses with his partner (Jackson) how in France a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with cheese is called a “Royale with cheese.”

     Quentin Tarantino was born on March 27, 1963, in Knoxville, Tennessee. He dropped out of
     high school, studied acting and worked at a video-rental store in Manhattan Beach, California,
     where he reportedly spent all day talking about movies. In the late 1980s, he appeared as an
     Elvis impersonator on an episode of the TV sitcom The Golden Girls. Tarantino made his
     directorial debut with the 1992 indie film Reservoir Dogs, about the events surrounding a
     bungled jewel heist. Written by Tarantino, the violent film featured characters with names
     such as Mr. Pink and Mr. Blonde and co-starred Keitel, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Chris Penn,
     Michael Madsen and Lawrence Tierney. Initially released in a small number of theaters,
     Reservoir Dogs garnered more attention and became a cult hit after Pulp Fiction turned
     Tarantino into a Hollywood darling. His third feature film, 1997’s Jackie Brown, starred Pam
     Grier, Robert Forster, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, Samuel L. Jackson and Michael Keaton.
     Inspired by the Elmore Leonard novel Rum Punch, Jackie Brown was also an homage to the
     so-called “blaxploitation” films of the 1970s, a number of which featured Grier.

     In addition to directing his own movies, Tarantino also penned the screenplay for 1993’s True
     Romance, which was helmed by Tony Scott and co-starred Christian Slater and Patricia
     Arquette. He was also credited with developing the story for director Oliver Stone’s
     Natural Born Killers (1994), with Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis. Tarantino
     has also continued acting, appearing in several of his own films and co-starring
     opposite Keitel and George Clooney in 1996’s From Dusk Till Dawn.

     Tarantino’s fourth feature project as a director was Kill Bill, which was
     released as two films, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 in 2003 and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 in 2004.
     Both movies starred Uma Thurman as a violent, revenge-seeking
     character called The Bride. Among Tarantino’s more recent projects
     was 2007’s Death Proof, a movie he wrote and directed about a
     deranged stunt man, played by Kurt Russell.

413. October 13, 1950
     =============
     On this day in 1950, the movie HARVEY was released. Jimmy Stewart starred in this drama
     about an eccentric man whose best friend is a giant invisible rabbit. Directed by Henry Koster
     and based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name by Mary Chase, Harvey earned
     Stewart the fourth Best Actor Oscar nomination of his career. Considered one of Hollywood’s
     all-time greatest leading men, Stewart appeared in some 80 movies during his career, including
     Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Philadelphia Story and It’s a Wonderful Life, and was best
     known for his portrayals of decent, idealistic men.

     Jimmy Stewart was born on May 20, 1908, in Indiana, Pennsylvania. At Princeton University,
     he performed in musical comedies with the Triangle Club before graduating in 1932 with a
     degree in architecture. There wasn’t a great demand for architects in the early 1930s, during
     the Great Depression, so Stewart turned to acting, landing his first big role on Broadway in
     1934 in Yellow Jack. The following year he signed a contract with MGM and made his
     big-screen debut in The Murder Man, starring Spencer Tracy. He went on to appear in such
     movies as You Can’t Take It With You (1938); Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), in which
     his performance as an idealistic senator catapulted him to stardom and earned him his first
     Best Actor Oscar nomination; Destry Rides Again (1939), in which he played a marshal opposite
     Marlene Dietrich; and The Philadelphia Story (1940), in which he co-starred with Katharine
     Hepburn and Cary Grant. In 1941, at the age of 33, Stewart joined the military as a pilot.
     Before he returned home in 1945, he reportedly flew 20 bombing missions over Germany.

     In 1946, Stewart starred in the director Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. According to
     Stewart’s 1997 obituary in the New York Times: “His archetypal role (and his own favorite)
     was that of George Bailey, the small-town banker in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ Frank Capra’s
     moralistic fantasy in which the hero is rescued from suicide by a pixieish angel who shows
     him how much meaner life would have been in his hometown without him. The 1946
     feature-length Christmas card was a failure among audiences, who dismissed it as overly
     sentimental, but in later decades it became one of the most popular movies ever made
     and a holiday staple on television.”

     After Stewart’s acclaimed performance in Harvey, he appeared in such films as The Glenn
     Miller Story (1954), in which he played the popular big-band leader; Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear
     Window (1954), in which he played a wheelchair-bound voyeur photographer; The Man
     Who Knew Too Much (1956); and The Spirit of St. Louis (1957), which featured Stewart as the
     famous aviator Charles Lindbergh. His films during the 1950s also include Hitchcock’s
     Vertigo (1958), in which he starred as a retired detective opposite Kim Novak; and Anatomy
     of a Murder (1959), for which he earned his fifth Oscar nomination. During the 1960s,
     Stewart’s movie credits included The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) and The Shootist (1976).

     His final movie was the 1991 animated feature An American Tail: Fievel Goes West,
     in which he voiced the character of Wylie. Stewart died in Beverly Hills, California
     on July 2, 1997, at the age of 89.

     B’nai B’rith, -the oldest Jewish service organization in the world – was founded in
     New York City on this day by Henry Jones and 11 others. B’nai B’rith, meaning
     “Sons of the Covenant,” organized its first lodge in November, and Isaac
     Dittenhoefer was elected the first president. The fraternal organization
     went on to become a national leader in charity work and disaster
     relief, and in 1913 it formed the Anti-Defamation League to
     combat anti-Semitism. Today, some 500,000 men and
     women are members of B’nai B’rith.

415. Hello Again Wayne & Cheryl
     It is interesting that you and I have similar attractions to certain Cars. I drove around in a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Aire – until its transmission gave out. I did not have the money to replace it at the time, and I eventually sold it to an interested buyer. I wish that I had not sold it now, because it is now one of the “CLASSIC” cars that can be purchased.

     I’ll bet that your 1958 Chevrolet Convertible was a real “BEAUTY” to behold and drive it wherever you chose.

     I literally FELL IN LOVE with that car because it looked to me like a Spacecraft on 4 Wheels as it passed by me on the Highway. But I now OWN one of those beautiful cars, — a Scale Model that is about 10 inches in length. I Purchased it from Publishers Clearing House about 2 years ago, and just yesterday, I found ANOTHER car that I really enjoyed driving back in 1958. It had a “PUSH-BUTTON DRIVE” panel in it, and I thought it looked GREAT on the Highway, but it was regarded as one of the Ford Auto Builders’ WORST FLOPS in the history of their Business.

     They called it the 1958 Ford Edsel Citation. Some people sad it looked like a car that had been “SUCKING ON A LEMON” because of its distinctive Front Grill, — and yes, I have to admit that it really DID appear that way, but I still loved to drive it. So I purchased the Scale Model of that car from Publishers Clearing house, and sent in my order to them for that Special Model. I paid about $27.95 for each one of those Models, but I will enjoy looking at them, as happy memories of my Youthful Years.

     Those were times when I had a lot of FUN enjoying those cars.

     I need to close this off for now, and get to bed. It is 8:00 p.m. and that is my time to start SLEEPING!! Carol and I arise out of bed at 5:00 a.m. every morning, so that we will have time for other things beside “Appointments” during each day.

     Thanks for reading about my memories.

     Love to You and Cheryl, —

     Carol and Forest

     P.S. I truly hope that your closest friend “DIDN’T LOSE HIS BEAUTIFUL CAR” in that Devastating Fire!!

416. Hi Forest and Carol. In answer to your post. I have not been a society member nearly as long as you, but from the very off set I started taking notes and looking for different descriptions of the Neo-Tech – Neo-think word meanings, and have filled at least a dozen hand written composition books with them. The one word and description I have spent concentrating on and analyzing is MYTICISMS , and what constitutes a mysticism. So as far as Halloween goes, it like most of the “traditional” holidays celebrated in this country, have become myths without meaning , are inaccurate, and although they may have a few smatterings of truth in them, the original substance has been changed, altered and in some cases completely removed from there content. And who has been mostly responsible for it all? Religion, and in some cases political history. The original substances have been enhanced from the real meaning and will eventually twist the minds of our child (children of the past.) So I agree with your thoughts and hope I answered your question. Love to you and Carol. (Oh, by the way, my 58 Chev. convertible with the lunch table top rear fenders is still my favorite. My closest friend has an Aqua green 2 door hardtop complete with the “continental” kit on the back, has one of those, however it may have been entrapped in the cross fire of the fire storms in the Loma Rica area in N. California this week.

417. October 12, 2017

     Good Afternoon to you Wayne & Cheryl, —
     Just to let you know, — I “ALWAYS” read your posts Wayne, — and will continue to do so – until they discontinue this Wiki site. I read everything that is printed on this site, including the posts which Pete and Judith write.

     I believe that I have responded to this same type of scientific research in the past, but I must admit that I have a much different perspective on it than most other people I have conversed with in the past. This is not due to any hang-ups about Religion, because I have spoken with all kinds of Religious People, and MOST of them don’t know what they are talking about anyway. They don’t even know what it is that they really believe, and couldn’t explain WHY they believe what they claim – even if you ASKED them. This is a difficult thing to understand, because if they cannot explain what it is that they believe in, nor WHY they believe in it, then what is it that they really understand??

     It takes “TIME” to study, learn, identify, analyze, understand, and explain the things which a person really believes, and then to present it to others in a way and manner which makes Logical Sense!!

     I have read books written by SOME authors, and the contents of what they have written, leaves me Scratching My Head in Confusion, just trying to figure out what it is that they were trying to convey to their readers.

     Other authors, have written books, which are so “Clear” and “Easy to Read” – that it seemed as if I had written the books MYSELF!! The Author’s written words were “So Much Like My Own Thoughts — that it was an immense pleasure to sit down and read the information they were presenting. These kinds of books are FASCINATING to read, because I can Learn things from them which I never expected to learn.

     You quoted Dr. Tucker as stating the following:

     Dr. Tucker further developed this THEORY saying that this stream of energy (consciousness) can find a “New Host)–(as in Reincarnation). He also said “Some Leading Scientists” in the past like Max Planck , who’s the father of “QUANTUM THEORY” said that he “VIEWED” consciousness as fundamental, and that matter was derived from it.”

     1. Theory – Dictionary Definition : Vocabulary.com
     https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/theory

     A THEORY is a Set of “Accepted Beliefs” or organized principles that explain and guide analysis, and (One of the Ways) that THEORY is DEFINED is that it is “DIFFERENT from PRACTICE,” when certain principles are tested.

     2. Definitions: The Sphere of ABSTRACT knowledge or SPECULATIVE thought – (this is all very well in “theory,” but how will it work in “practice??”)

     3. A (hypothesis) “ASSUMED” for the sake of Argument or Investigation.
     –(Conjecture, Supposition, Abstract thought)—

     THEORETICAL: (Existing only in Theory)

     FACTUAL: Based on FACT.
     Actual, Concrete, Existent, Real, True, Very* Documentary, Literal, Nonfictional, Objective, True.

     Because of the above Definitions, I believe that “Reincarnation” is one of the A/C “MYSTICISMS” which is PRESENTED as if it is TRUE, but it is not based on FACT at all!!

     Science has progressed in a very “Miraculous” way, and they have made many New Discoveries, — However, a “Theory” is NOT a FACT, and they can Conjecture with “Plausible” Thinking and propose all kinds of “ASSUMPTIONS” and “SUPPOSITIONS” which can be “Conjured Up” in their minds, but this will never PROVE that a “theory” is a FACT!!
     I had a conversation with a Marriage Counsellor approximately 33 years ago, and he asked me to give him the definition of the word “ASSUME.” I gave him the definition with which I was familiar. He then broke the word into 3 Syllables and printed them on a piece of paper. Here is how it looked:

     ASS U ME!! In other words, when I “ASSUME” that something is true, without Investigation, — then it is possible that I am WRONG, and then he Points at me and says: The “ASS” is “U” and I am “ME!”

     At 5:00 p.m. tonight – October 12, 2017 – Steve (Digger) asked us if “HALLOWEEN” with all of its Witches, Goblins, Demons, and Zombies is a “MYSTICISM??” Personally, I believe that it Really “IS” a MYTICISM, and people allow their children to participate in this Mystical, Walking Dead Garbage, and they don’t even RECOGNIZE nor UNDERSTAND what it is that they are allowing their children to believe!! It has become nothing but a “HORROR” SHOW!! The adults think it is CUTE, and the Kids think it is just having fun, but what kinds of THOUGHTS does all of this generate as the Kids grow into Adult Life?? What is the RESULT of this when Young People get involved in “GANGS” — who force their members to commit Rape, Robbery, and Murder as their INITIATION into the GANG??

     Does all of this belong inside the C of U?? Does it stimulate thoughts of LOVE, and does it harmonize with the “PRIME LAW??” Does it promote HAPPINESS, and BIOLOGICAL IMMORTALITY??

     We will be discussing all of this Next Thursday night at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, October 19, 2017!!
     If you agree with what is written here, — Please Respond A.S.A.P.
     With Love and Respect, — Carol and Forest

418. Hey Pete – I have a question for you; my question is THIS: You must have access to some historical information regarding all that you post on this site. Where do you FIND all of this information?? It is really AMAZING to me. Some of it covers things to which I have not related for a very long time, and therefore I don’t always know how to respond to it. However, I really enjoy reading your Posts, — Thank You for sharing this information with us. It appears that there are only “4” of us who write on this site any more, and this gives me a whole lot less to respond to in the Posts which I write. You have been The Most Faithful Neo-Think Member who writes on this Wiki Site, and this deserves Many Thanks Pete.
     Sincerely, Forest

420. October 12, 1997
     =============
     To those who bought records like “Rocky Mountain High” and “Take Me Home,
     Country Roads” by the millions in the 1970s, John Denver was much more than
     just a great songwriter and performer. With his oversized glasses, bowl haircut
     and down vest, he was an unlikely fashion icon, and with his vocal environmentalism,
     he was the living embodiment of an outdoorsy lifestyle that many 20-something
     baby boomers would adopt as their own during the “Me” decade. There never
     was and there probably never will be a star quite like John Denver, who died on
     this day in 1997 when his experimental amateur aircraft crashed into
     Monterey Bay on the California coast.

     Born Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., in 1943 – not in the mountains of Colorado but in
     Roswell, New Mexico – John Denver rose to fame as a recording artist in 1971, when
     “Take Me Home, Country Roads” rose all the way to #2 on the Billboard pop chart.
     In fact, Denver already had a share in a #1 hit as the writer of “Leaving On A Jet Plane,”
     a chart-topper for Peter, Paul and Mary in 1969. But it was his 1971 breakout as a
     performer of his own material that made him a household name. Over the course
     of the 1970s, John Denver earned five more top-10 singles, including the #1 hits
     “Sunshine On My Shoulders” (1974), “Annie’s Song” (1974), “Thank God I’m A
     Country Boy” (1975) and “I’m Sorry” (1975). Even more impressive, he released an
     astonishing 11 albums that were certified Platinum by the RIAA, making him one of
     the most successful recording artists of the 70s, and launching him into a successful
     career in film and television as well.

     By the 1990s, Denver was still a popular touring musician, though he was no longer recording
     new material with significant commercial success. Over the course of his career, he had
     become an accomplished private pilot with more than 2,700 hours on various single
     and multi-engine aircraft, with both an instrument and a Lear Jet rating. On
     October 12, 1997, however, he was flying an aircraft with which he was relatively
     unfamiliar, and with which he had previously experienced control problems, according
     to a later investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board. At approximately 5:30 pm l
     ocal time, after a smooth takeoff from a Pacific Grove airfield and under ideal flying conditions, Denver
     apparently lost control of his Long-EZ aircraft several hundred feet over Monterey Bay, leading to the fatal crash.

     A movie star and political activist as well as a musician, John Denver was
     one of the biggest stars of his generation, and is credited by the Recording
     Industry Association of America with selling more than 32 million albums in
     the United States alone.

421. October 11, 1975
     =============
     On this day in 1975, Saturday Night Live (SNL) – a topical comedy sketch show featuring
     Chevy Chase, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Garrett Morris, Jane Curtin and
     Laraine Newman – made its debut on NBC. It has now become the longest-running,
     highest-rated show on late-night television. The 90-minute program, which from its
     inception has been broadcast live from Studio 8H in the GE Building at Rockefeller
     Center, includes a different guest host and musical act each week. The opening sketch
     of each show ends with one actor saying, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

     Created by the Canadian-born comedy writer Lorne Michaels, SNL has introduced a long list of memorable characters and catchphrases — from Gilda Radner’s Roseanne Roseannada, to the Coneheads, to Billy Crystal’s Fernando (“You look mahvelous”), to Dana Carvey’s Church Lady (“Isn’t that special?”), to bodybuilders Hans and Franz (“We’re going to pump you up”), to Coffee Talk host Linda Richman (“like buttah” and “I’m all verklempt”) — that have become part of pop-culture history. The show, whose cast has changed continually over the years, has also launched the careers of such performers as Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, David Spade, Jon Lovitz, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Tina Fey. Some SNL sketches have even been turned into feature films, the two most successful examples being 1980’s The Blues Brothers and 1992’s Wayne’s World.

     The show was originally known as NBC’s Saturday Night because there was another show on ABC called Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell. However, NBC eventually purchased the naming rights, and since 1977 the edgy comedy program has been called Saturday Night Live. Lorne Michaels served as the show’s producer from 1975 to 1980, followed by Jean Doumanian from 1980 to 1981. Dick Ebersol helmed the show from 1981 to 1985. Michaels returned to the program that year, and has remained executive producer ever since.

     The influential comedian George Carlin hosted the debut episode of SNL. Later that year, Candace Bergen became the first woman to assume SNL hosting duties. She went on to host the program four more times. In 1982, seven-year-old Drew Barrymore hosted the show, becoming the youngest person ever to do so. Starting in 1976, Steve Martin has hosted SNL 14 times. Since 1990, Alec Baldwin has hosted the show 13 times. John Goodman has hosted the show a dozen times, beginning in 1989. Other frequent guest hosts include Buck Henry, Chevy Chase, Tom Hanks and Christopher Walken. Musical guests who’ve performed on SNL five or more times include Paul Simon, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, James Taylor, Sting, Beck and the Foo Fighters.

     SNL is known for its topical parodies and impersonations, and for pushing boundaries with its sketches. The show is also recognized for its political humor. Chevy Chase famously portrayed President Gerald Ford as a klutz, while Dana Carvey spoofed President George H.W. Bush and his “read my lips” line. More recently, Amy Poehler has played Senator Hillary Clinton in numerous skits (including one with the senator herself) and Tina Fey has portrayed the 2008 Republican vice-presidential nominee, Sarah Palin.

422. To Judith, Charlie and Digger. First of all to J.C. …. As Gleason used to say, POW! to the moon baby!!! Maybe we could convince Elon to give us a private tour so we could look for ourselves. Ask Michael if we would have to pay by weight or mileage.? Maybe there is really a man in the moon? and have you ever just thought that Kerry went to Antarctica just to cool off. OK, Nah, probably not. To Charlie:….. If Steve is Digger, then I christen you “Wing man” Thanks for doing a tremendous job, and to Digger: A stitch in time saves nine? (I never did know what that meant) So how do I get out of this mess I created? How about a quote from Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged”. “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine”‘. (John Galt) Thanks for allowing me some silliness, from the guy hiding in the shadows? Some how I am reminded of a story I heard once about the kid who had not spoken a word in the first 9 years of his life, but on this particular day at the breakfast table, he said “Some one pass the biscuits, please!’ and every one went into shock . You can talk! why haven’t you spoke up before now? and his answer was .” Well , I haven’t had anything to complain about up till now.

423. I must confess that I am pulled to these EWAQ articles like a moth drawn to the flames. The presence of the A/C existence from day to day leaves one feeling so empty and discouraged that we seek anything to remove us even temporarily from the present day illusions of life on this planet. Article: According to researchers reincarnation EXISTS, and consciousness is just a form of energy which is contained in our bodies and is released to the universe after death until a new HOST is found. A new book titled Life after Life. A scientific view of children’s memories of previous lives, written by Dr. Jim Tucker indicates that reincarnation is real ,thanks to consciousness being energy on the quantum sub-atomic level which is contained in our bodies during life, and is not a part of them. Dr. Tucker interviewed 2500 youngsters who showed signs that they have been reincarnated— such as having memories that they had never experienced or having scars or birthmarks identical to the person that they have supposedly been reincarnated from. For decades , scientists have struggled understanding consciousness , remaining unable to pinpoint it exactly. In the last couple of years , numerous world-renowned scientists have stated that quantum mechanics allows “consciousness” to live on after death. For example , Dr. Robert Lanza, an American medical doctor and scientist, currently head of Astellas Global Regenerative Medicine and as chief scientific officer of the Astellas Institute for Regenerative Medicine and Adjunct coined the phrase “Biocentrism” which pre proposes that the consciousness is released into the Universe through sub-atomic particles after death. Dr. Tucker further developed this theory saying that this stream of energy can find a new host. He also said “some leading scientists in the past like Max Planck , who’s the father of quantum theory said that he viewed consciousness as fundamental ,and that matter was derived from it.” Well if your still hung up on religious mysticisms, I suppose you would have quit reading this a long time ago. Me,? I feel more like Sheldon Cooper every day. (PS. If anyone read this item, please respond.) Love and compassion to all of you.

424. 10/11/17. Not complaining mind you! Started this week like a continuing nightmare . Cardiac rehab made me sit in the corner as the battle of the blood thinners and the blood pressures play there crazy little games with the physical body. Some times I swear I am a human experiment in progress. Some days when the weight of the world seems to be resting on your shoulders, remember what Megan said to Miss Annabelle when she doing her time in prison. “Why frown when you can smile?. May a smile be your umbrella. Love, Peace, Wealth, and Health, Heavy on the LOVE!

425. AMERICA WILL RETURN TO THE MOON – AND GO BEYOND!
     By Vice President Mike Pence

     The Wall Street Journal
     October 4, 2017

     Vice President Mike Pence: “America Will Return to the Moon—and Go Beyond”
     “As the National Space Council meets Thursday, our nation can know with confidence: Under President Trump, America will lead in space again.”

     President Trump has revived the National Space Council to assist him in developing and implementing long-range strategic goals for our nation’s space policy. On Thursday the council will hold its first meeting in nearly 25 years, and as its chairman, I will deliver a simple message: America will lead in space again.

     The intelligence community reports that Russia and China are pursuing a full range of antisatellite technology designed to threaten our military’s effectiveness.

     We will refocus America’s space program toward human exploration and discovery.

     It means establishing a renewed American presence on the moon, a vital strategic goal. And from the foundation of the moon, America will be the first nation to bring mankind to Mars.

     We will renew America’s commitment to creating the space technology needed to protect national security.

     We will promote regulatory, technological, and educational reforms to expand opportunities for American citizens and ensure that the U.S. is at the forefront of economic development in outer space.

     In the coming weeks, President Trump and I will assemble a Users’ Advisory Group partly composed of leaders from America’s burgeoning commercial space industry.

     As the National Space Council meets Thursday, our nation can know with confidence: Under President Trump, America will lead in space again.

     What to make of this statement? Why are we now, after almost half a century, going back to the moon?

     People who talk about how we didn’t go to the moon are missing the point; yes, we went to the moon, but the big question is why we suddenly stopped, cancelled the Apollo programme with at least two more missions ready to go and have never been back?

     It seems that we were warned off, that someone told us the moon was off limits and we were not to step foot there again.

     Which raises the question of who warned us off and what is on the moon? As Stanley Kubrick faked the lunar surface footage, it seems highly likely that we have never been shown what the lunar surface is actually like or been told what the astronauts may have discovered up there.

     Furthermore, it seems highly likely that all the photography of the moon from orbit has been edited to remove any detail they wish to keep secret. Add to that the obvious disinfo ops like Richard Hoagland who have promoted blatant psyop lies about crystal cities and other such nonsense and it is pretty clear the Moon holds secrets that are still being kept from us.

     So, if we are to take this statement about returning to the moon at face value and we do intend to return to the lunar surface, what has changed? My mind immediately thinks of John Kerry going to Antarctica on election day, a mystery that may hold the answers to many big questions.

     A whole avalanche of speculation will now engulf this issue, and no doubt, there will be much psyop disinfo spread too, so don’t expect any answers any time soon. (End)

     We need a little ‘total integrated honesty type truth’ in our news of the world around us. Especially with all the ‘end times’ crazies and the cabal and religious zealots and fanatics making sure that all the prophecies of death and destruction do come true. The Neothinking Way and the Twelve Visions Party would preserve us, give us a much better way of life, instead of kill us off. No such thing as ‘truth and justice the American Way’. It just doesn’t exist in today’s world of delusion and illusion. I’m so glad I have the knowledge of Dr. Wallace and Mark Hamilton’s writings to keep me somewhat sane and on the right track to success amidst the chaos. I’m truly grateful.

     It will be great to know about our ancestry from the stars and our true history since arriving on Earth. Today’s politics and insanity will fade into obscurity when the real truths are known.

426. October 10, 1957
     =============
     On October 10, 1957, the Milwaukee Braves defeated the New York Yankees to win their
     first World Series since 1914. (They played in Boston then; the team moved to Wisconsin
     in 1953.) No one expected the Braves to beat the Yankees. After all, the New York team
     had already won the championship 21 times. Their manager, Casey Stengel, was the
     winningest in postseason history, and their lineup was spangled with superstars like Yogi
     Berra and Mickey Mantle. But the Braves had outfielder Hank Aaron, who’d hit 44 home
     runs and batted .322 that season, and a pitching staff that included the greats Bob Buhl,
     Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette.

     The series began in New York, where Yankee Whitey Ford pitched a five-hitter and beat the Braves 3-1. The next day, Burdette pitched a seven-hitter and won 4-2. For Game 3, the series moved to Milwaukee – an unlucky change of venue for the Braves – who watched Yankee rookie and hometown hero Tony Kubek knock two homers into the stands. The Yankees won 12-3. The Braves eked out a nerve-wracking victory the next day when Warren Spahn blew a 4-1 lead in the ninth on a three-run Elston Howard homer. In the next inning, the Yanks – who had been just one out away from a loss – pulled ahead. But then Braves pinch-hitter Nippy Jones got hit in the foot with a pitch (ump Augie Donatello had called it a ball, but gave Jones his base when the hitter pointed out a fresh smudge of shoe polish on the baseball). Pinch-runner Felix Mantilla scored on a Johnny Logan double, tying the game, and Eddie Mathews hit a game-ending homer over the right-field fence for a 7-5 Braves victory.

     Burdette and the Braves won Game 5 1-0, and the Yanks won the sixth 3-2. Because Spahn had the flu, Burdette pitched the seventh on two days’ rest, and the Braves won the game and the championship on his second shutout of the Series. (Yankee pitcher Don Larsen, who had pitched a perfect game in the World Series the previous year, didn’t even make it through the third inning.)

     Burdette, the championship’s MVP, was the first pitcher since 1920 to win three
     complete-game victories in a World Series. (That year, Stan Covaleski did it for
     the Dodgers.) Throughout his career, people said that Burdette was so good
     because he threw illegal spitballs – he fidgeted and touched his hat and face
     so much on the mound that, his manager said, he could “make coffee
     nervous” –but no one could ever prove it. Lew Burdette died in February 2007.

427. October 10, 2004
     =============
     On this day in 2004, the actor Christopher Reeve – who became famous for his starring
     role in four Superman films – died from heart failure at the age of 52 at a hospital near
     his home in Westchester County, New York. Reeve, who was paralyzed in a 1995
     horse-riding accident, was a leading advocate for spinal cord research.

     Christopher Reeve was born on September 25, 1952, in New York City, and graduated from
     Cornell University and the Juilliard School. He made his Broadway debut in 1976 in
     A Matter of Gravity, starring Katharine Hepburn. The 6’4” actor shot to fame i
     n 1978 when he was selected over some 200 other actors for the lead in
     Superman. Although he would play the action hero in three more
     films, Reeve was determined to “escape the cape” and avoid
     being typecast. As a result, he took on a variety of stage
     and screen roles. His film credits included Somewhere in Time (1980),
     Deathtrap (1983), The Remains of the Day (1993) and Village of the Damned (1995).

     On May 27, 1995, Reeve, a strong athlete and avid horseman, was left paralyzed from the
     neck down after being thrown from his horse and breaking his neck during an equestrian
     competition in Virginia. The actor then became a crusader for people with spinal cord
     injuries and also lobbied for government funding of embryonic stem-cell research.
     During a speech at the 1996 Academy Awards, Reeve urged the Hollywood community to
     make more movies about social issues. In addition to his fundraising and advocacy work,
     Reeve wrote two books about his life experiences and continued his acting career. In 1997,
     he made his directorial debut with HBO’s In the Gloaming, which was nominated for five
     Emmy Awards, and in 1999, he starred in a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic thriller
     Rear Window. In 2004, Reeve directed A&E’s The Brooke Ellison Story, a movie based on a
     true story about the first quadriplegic to graduate from Harvard University.

     In 2000, Reeve, who maintained an intensive physical therapy regime since the time of his
     accident, was able to move his index finger. He stated publicly that he was determined to
     walk again. In Reeve’s New York Times obituary, one of the doctors who treated him said:
     “Before [Reeve] there was really no hope. If you had a spinal cord injury like his there was
     not much that could be done, but he’s changed all that, he’s demonstrated that there is
     hope and that there are things that can be done.”

428. Can’t let it go! Not exactly sure what I should title this post? Perhaps we should call it “How to buy a politician” First of all, let it be known that I have no particular view on concerning your thoughts on gun control (or not) Not even sure I have any definitive thoughts myself, and each and every individual must make there own decisions themselves. My concern is about those supposedly elected politicians, those neo-cheaters who have the power to decide for us alone. Perhaps if your tummy aches it’s just an anxiety attack created and orchestrated by that 1% elite who controls and bestows the authority on jerks like this one. From Rapid City Journal 10/16. “Senator Thune shows a lack of compassion as he certainly followed his own advice when he suggested that the victims of the Las Vegas shooting situation could have reduced the deaths if they would have made themselves “GET SMALL”!!!! His comments show how small his commitment to stopping the epidemic of mass murder in this country is “. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT HE HAS ACCEPTED NEARLY A MILLION $ FROM THE NRA IN HIS POLITICAL CAREER.” He has not only sold his vote, he has sold his SOUL as well. I leave this open for discussion. Thanks, Love and Peace!

430. October 9, 1974
     ============
     German businessman Oskar Schindler – credited with saving 1,200 Jews from
     the Holocaust – died on this day at the age of 66.

     A member of the Nazi Party, he ran an enamel-works factory in Krakow during the German
     occupation of Poland, employing workers from the nearby Jewish ghetto. When the ghetto
     was liquidated, he persuaded Nazi officials to allow the transfer of his workers to the
     Plaszow labor camp, thus saving them from deportation to the death camps. In 1944, all Jews
     at Plaszow were sent to Auschwitz, but Schindler, at great risk to himself, bribed officials into
     allowing him to keep his workers and set up a factory in a safer location in occupied
     Czechoslovakia. By the war’s end, he was penniless, but he had saved 1,200 Jews.

     In 1962, he was declared a Righteous Gentile by Yad Vashem, Israel’s
     official agency for remembering the Holocaust. According to his wishes,
     he was buried in Israel at the Catholic cemetery on Mount Zion.
     ======================

431. October 8, 1956
     ============
     On October 8, 1956, New York Yankees right-hander Don Larsen pitched the first no-hitter
     in the history of the World Series. Even better, it was a perfect game. A perfect game means
     there were no runs, no hits and no errors, and no batter reached first base. Larsen’s
     performance anchored his team’s third-straight win against their cross-town rivals the
     Brooklyn Dodgers. The Yanks ended up winning the championship, the last all-New York
     World Series until 2000, in seven games.

     Larsen was an uneven pitcher, and before the 1956 championship he was mostly known for
     being a hard drinker and an enthusiastic carouser. Because of a bad start in the second game
     of the World Series, he wasn’t even sure he’d pitch another game. In fact, he found out he’d
     be heading to the mound in Game 5 when he got to the clubhouse on the morning of
     October 8 and found that manager Casey Stengel had left a ball in his locker, wedged inside his cleat.

     But that night, in front of a crowd of 61,519 people at Yankee Stadium, Don Larsen found his muse.
     He retired 27 batters – among them future Hall of Famers Roy Campanella, Pee Wee Reese, Jackie
     Robinson and Duke Snider, along with the always-dangerous Gil Hodges. There were a few
     defensive close calls, though. In the second inning, Robinson socked a grounder right toward the
     third baseman; the ball bounced off his glove but, fortuitously, headed right for shortstop Gil
     McDougald, who managed to toss it to first just in time. In the fifth, minutes after Mickey Mantle
     homered to right field and put the Bombers up 1-0, Hodges sent a ball deep into left center – a
     sure homer in today’s Yankee Stadium – but Mantle bolted across the outfield for an impossible
     backhanded catch. In the very next play, Sandy Amoros hit a line drive that would have tied the
     game if it hadn’t swerved foul. And in the eighth, Hodges cracked another one – this one a low
     line drive that third baseman Andy Carey managed to snag just inches from the ground.

     The last batter of the game was Dale Mitchell, the Dodgers’ pinch hitter. He fouled off the
     1-2 pitch and then watched the third strike, a fastball, hurtle over the center of the plate.
     Ump Babe Pinelli called it. The game was over. Yankees had won.

     Larsen stayed in New York for three more years. He pitched for eight teams in all and finished
     with a career 81-91 record (4-2 in the World Series) and a 3.78 ERA. After he retired, he worked
     for 24 years as a salesman for a San Jose paper company. His perfect game is still the only one
     in World Series history.
     ==================

432. October 7, 1984
     ============
     On October 7, 1984, Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton became the NFL’s all-time
     rushing leader, breaking the record Cleveland’s Jim Brown set in 1965. In front of 53,752
     people at Soldier Field, Payton carried the ball 154 yards and finished the game with a
     new career rushing record – 12,400 yards, 88 more than Brown.

     The week before, Payton had rushed 155 yards against the Cowboys, and he had only 66 yards
     to go before he beat Brown’s 20-year-old record. Still, the Bears had been playing unevenly
     since the beginning of the season – they’d won their first three games, then lost two – and
     the team got a slow start against the New Orleans Saints. During the first quarter Payton
     moved the ball only 34 yards in six runs. During the second quarter he made nine runs
     and gained 30 yards, including a one-yard touchdown with three seconds left in the
     half. To beat Brown’s record, he needed to carry the ball just three more yards.
     Almost as soon as the second half began, Bears quarterback Jim McMahon
     pitched the ball to Payton in a reliable play that the team called the
     “Toss 28 Weak.” Fullback Matt Suhey and left guard Mark Bortz
     protected Payton as he completed a record-setting six-yard run.

     He didn’t take much time to celebrate, though. All week, Bears officials had been urging
     their star to let them stop the game for a ceremony when he finally broke the rushing
     record, but Payton maintained that the team’s momentum was more important than
     his achievement. So, the festivities were brief. Payton accepted his teammates’
     congratulatory hugs and handshakes, turned the record-setting football over to a
     representative from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and went back to the game. (He did
     take a call from President Ronald Reagan afterwards.) His dedication paid off: The Bears
     won the game 20-7 and Payton set one more record, for carrying the ball more than
     100 yards for the 59th time in his career.

     Payton played for the Bears for two more seasons, and his eventual rushing record
     of 16,726 yards stood until Dallas running back Emmitt Smith surpassed it in a game
     against the Seattle Seahawks in October 2002. Smith still holds the record, for
     18,355 yards. Walter Payton, however, remains one of the greatest running
     backs ever to play in the NFL. He died of cancer in November 1999.

434. October 6, 1847
     =============
     On this day in 1847, Jane Eyre was published by Smith, Elder and Co.
     Charlotte Bronte, the book’s author, used the pseudonym Currer Bell.
     The book, about the struggles of an orphan girl who grows up to become
     a governess, was an immediate popular success.

     Bronte was born in 1816, one of six siblings who grew up in a gloomy parsonage in the remote
     English village of Hawthorne. Her mother died when she was 5, and Charlotte, her two older
     sisters, and her younger sister Emily, were sent to Clergy Daughter’s School at Cowan Bridge
     in Lancashire. The cheap school featured bad food, cold rooms, and harsh discipline, all
     reflected in the image of the boarding school portrayed in Jane Eyre.

     Charlotte’s two oldest sisters died of illnesses while at school. After their sisters’ deaths, Charlotte
     and Emily were brought home, where they and their remaining siblings, Anne and Branwell,
     amused themselves by making up elaborate stories about fantastical worlds. From 1835 to 1838,
     Charlotte taught in a girls’ school. Meanwhile, she and Emily formed a plan to open their own
     school, and in 1842 the sisters went to Brussels to study languages and school administration.
     In Brussels, Charlotte fell in love with the married headmaster, an experience she used as the
     basis for her last novel, Villette (1853). Returning to the parsonage at Hawthorne, the sisters tried
     to open their own school but could not attract pupils. Meanwhile, their adored brother Branwell
     had become a heavy drinker and opium user. When Emily got him a job teaching with her at a
     wealthy manor, he lost both their positions after a tryst with the mother of the house.

     In 1846, Charlotte accidentally found some poems written by Emily and discovered that all three
     sisters had secretly been writing verse. They published their own book, Poems by Currer, Ellis
     and Acton Bell, adopting a pseudonym because they believed women writers were judged
     too softly. Only two copies sold, but publishers became interested in the sisters’ work.
     Charlotte’s Jane Eyre was published in 1847 under the name Currer Bell. Emily’s
     Wuthering Heights and Anne’s Agnes Grey were published later that year. Sadly,
     all three of Charlotte’s siblings died within the next two years. Left alone,
     Charlotte cared for her ill father and married curate Arthur Bell Nicholls
     in 1854. Charlotte died during pregnancy shortly after the marriage.

436. October 6, 1683
     ============
     Encouraged by William Penn’s offer of 5,000 acres of land in the colony of Pennsylvania
     and the freedom to practice their religion, the first Mennonites arrived in America aboard
     the Concord on this day in 1983. They were among the first Germans to settle in the American colonies.

     The Mennonites, members of a Protestant sect founded by Menno Simons in the 16th century,
     were widely persecuted in Europe. Seeking religious freedom, Mennonite Francis Daniel
     Pastorious led a group from Krefeld, Germany, to Pennsylvania in 1683 and founded
     Germantown, the pioneer German settlement in America and now part of the
     city of Philadelphia. Numerous other German groups followed, and by
     the American Revolution there were 100,000 Germans in William
     Penn’s former colony, more than a third of Pennsylvania’s total population at the time.
     ========================

437. October 5, 1953
     ============
     On October 5, 1953, the New York Yankees defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers to won their
     fifth World Series in a row. It was a record-breaking championship. Joe McCarthy’s
     legendary 1936-1939 Yanks had won four in a row, but no team had ever won five.
     The Bombers had squeaked by the Bums in Game 7 the previous year, and everyone
     thought that the Brooklyn team – powered by amazing pitching and a taste for
     revenge – would be back to claim the title. But instead, they lost for the seventh time
     in as many chances, and their cross-town rivals made World Series history.

     More than anyone else, the 1953 series belonged to second baseman Billy Martin. At the beginning
     of the first game, he cracked a three-run triple and added three more hits on the way to a 9-5
     Yankee victory. In the second, Martin hit a game-tying homer in the seventh inning, paving
     the way for Mickey Mantle’s two-out two-run blast in the eighth. The Bombers won that
     game 4-2. The Dodgers won the third game, thanks to pitcher Carl Erskine’s series-record
     14 strikeouts. They won the fourth, too, but lost their momentum in Game 5: The Yankees had
     25 hits; Martin homered again; and Mantle hit a grand slam (only the fourth in championship history)
     into the upper deck of the left-field stands.

     In the ninth inning of the sixth game, the unfortunate Dodgers were losing 3-1. Then, with
     one out, Duke Snider walked; after that, Carl Furillo clobbered a run into the right-field stands.
     The game was tied. But in the bottom of the inning, Yankee Hank Bauer walked to first and
     made it to second on an infield single from Mantle. Then, the irrepressible Martin – who
     batted .500 in the series with 12 hits in all (a double, two triples, two homers
     and 8 RBIs) – stepped to the plate. He singled to center, sending Bauer home and winning the game.

     On the same day in 2001, in the first inning of a game at San Francisco’s Pac Bell Park, Giant Barry
     Bonds hit his 71st home run, breaking the record Mark McGwire had set three years before.
     He hit another homer off the same pitcher – L.A. Dodger Chan Ho Park–in the third.
     Two nights later, he hit his last bomb of the season. His record still stands.

     ============
     On this day in 2011, Steve Jobs – the visionary co-founder of Apple Inc., which
     revolutionized the computer, music and mobile communications industries
     with such devices as the Macintosh, iPod, iPhone and iPad – died at age 56
     of complications from pancreatic cancer.

     Born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, to unmarried graduate students Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian immigrant, Jobs was adopted as a baby by Paul Jobs, a Silicon Valley machinist, and his wife Clara. After graduating from high school in Cupertino, California, in 1972, Jobs attended Reed College, a liberal arts school in Portland, Oregon, for a single semester before dropping out. He later worked briefly for pioneering video game maker Atari in California, traveled to India and studied Zen Buddhism.

     In 1976, Jobs and his computer engineer friend Stephen Wozniak founded Apple Computer in Jobs’ parents’ garage in Los Altos, California. As Bloomberg News would later note about Jobs: “He had no formal technical training and no real business experience. What he had instead was an appreciation of technology’s elegance and a notion that computers could be more than a hobbyist’s toy or a corporation’s workhorse. These machines could be indispensable tools.” In 1977, Jobs and Wozniak launched the Apple II, which became the first popular personal computer. In 1980, Apple went public and Jobs, then in his mid-20s, became a multimillionaire. Four years later, Apple debuted the Macintosh, one of the first personal computers to feature a graphical user interface, which allowed people to navigate by pointing and clicking a mouse rather than typing commands.

     In 1985, Jobs left the company following a power struggle with Apple’s board of directors. That same year, he established NeXT, a business that developed high-performance computers. The machines proved too pricey to gain a wide consumer audience; however, British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee developed the World Wide Web using a NeXT workstation. In 1986, Jobs acquired a small computer-graphics studio founded by filmmaker George Lucas and rechristened it Pixar Animation Studios. In 1995, Pixar released its first film, “Toy Story,” the first-ever feature-length, computer-animated movie. It became a huge box-office success and was followed by such award-winning hits as “Finding Nemo” (2003) and “The Incredibles” (2004). In 2006, Walt Disney Company purchased Pixar for more than $7 billion, making Jobs the largest Disney shareholder.

     In late 1996, Apple, which had floundered without Jobs, announced it would buy NeXT and hire Jobs as an advisor. The following year, he became Apple’s interim CEO (the “interim” was dropped in 2000), and under his leadership a nearly bankrupt Apple was transformed into one of the planet’s most valuable corporations. A charismatic, demanding perfectionist, Jobs was said to possess the ability to intuit what customers wanted before they knew it themselves. In his trademark jeans and black mock turtleneck, the tech titan turned product launches into highly anticipated events, and Apple introduced a series of innovative digital devices, including the iPod portable music player in 2001, the iPhone in 2007 and the iPad tablet computer in 2010, that became part of everyday modern life. (In early 2007, Jobs announced that Cupertino-based Apple was dropping “Computer” from its official moniker to reflect the fact the company’s focus had shifted from computers-only to mobile electronic devices).

     Despite a series of medical issues, including surgery in 2004 to remove a pancreatic tumor and a 2009 liver transplant, Jobs continued to lead Apple until August 24, 2011, when he stepped down as the company’s chief executive. Six weeks later, he passed away at his Palo Alto, California, home. At the time of his death, Jobs, a father of four, had a net worth estimated at more than $7 billion. According to biographer Walter Isaacson, Jobs “was the greatest business executive of our era, the one most certain to be remembered a century from now. History will place him in the pantheon right next to Thomas Edison and Henry Ford.”

439. October 4, 1970
     ============
     In the summer of 1966, Janis Joplin was a drifter. Four years later, she was a rock-and-roll legend.
     She’d gone from a complete unknown to a generational icon on the strength of a single, blistering
     performance at the Monterey International Pop Festival in the summer of 1967, and she’d followed
     that up with three years of touring and recording that cemented her status as, in the words of one
     critic, “second only to Bob Dylan in importance as a creator/recorder/embodiment of her
     generation’s history and mythology.”

     Born in Port Arthur, Texas in 1943, Janis Joplin made her way to San Francisco in 1966, where
     she fell in with a local group called Big Brother and the Holding Company. It was with this
     group that she would become famous, first through her legendary performance of
     “Ball And Chain” at Monterey and then with the 1968 album Cheap Thrills.
     She soon split off to launch a solo career, however, her personality
     and her voice being far too big to be contained within a group.

     ”I’d rather not sing than sing quiet,” she once said in comparing herself to one of her musical idols.
     “Billie Holliday was subtle and refined. I’m going to shove that power right into you, right through
     you and you can’t refuse it.”

     But if sheer abandon was Janis Joplin’s vocal trademark, she nevertheless
     always combined it with a musicality and authenticity that lent her music
     a great deal more soul than much of what the psychedelic era produced.

     But it was never just music, or the passion she displayed in performing it, that made Janis Joplin an icon.
     It was the no-holds-barred gusto with which she lived every other aspect of her life as well. Far from
     being an empty cliché, “sex, drugs, and rock and roll” was a revolutionary philosophy to many in
     the late 1960s, and Janis Joplin was its leading female exponent. Her string of romantic
     conquests ranged from Kris Kristofferson to Dick Cavett. Her drug and alcohol consumption was prolific.
     And the rock and roll she produced was timeless, from “Piece Of My Heart,” “Get It While You Can” and
     “Mercedes Benz” to her biggest pop hit, “Me And My Bobby McGee.”

     In the autumn of 1970, Janis Joplin was in Los Angeles putting the finishing touches
     on the album that would prove to be the biggest hit of her career, Pearl. She did
     not live to see the album’s release, however. On this day in 1970, she died of
     an accidental heroin overdose and was discovered in her Los Angeles hotel
     room after failing to show for a scheduled recording session. She was 27 years old.

441. October 4, 1955
     =============
     On October 4, 1955, the Brooklyn Dodgers won the World Series at last, beating the New York
     Yankees 2-0. They’d lost the championship seven times already, and they’d lost five times just
     to the Yanks – in 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952 and 1953. But in 1955, thanks to nine brilliant innings in
     the seventh game from 23-year-old lefty pitcher Johnny Podres, they finally managed to beat
     the Bronx Bombers for the first (and last) time.

     The Dodgers had lost the first two games of the series at Yankee Stadium. In fact, it was the first
     time in history that a team came back to win a seven-game World Series after losing the first
     two games. Brooklyn then won three in a row at home. The Yanks came back in the sixth,
     forcing a tiebreaking Game 7 in front of 62,465 fans in the Bronx.

     In the fourth inning of the last game, Brooklyn got its first run when catcher Roy Campanella
     hit a double and Gil Hodges sent him home with a well-placed single. In the sixth, a Yankee error
     helped the Dodgers load the bases. Even though veteran pitcher Tommy Byrne had only given
     up three hits, manager Casey Stengel pulled him and sent in right-handed reliever Bob
     Grim – but that didn’t stop Hodges from knocking a long sacrifice fly to center
     field. Pee Wee Reese made it safely home, and the Dodgers were winning by 2.

     And then, the game’s defining moment. At the bottom of the sixth, Podres walked Billy Martin
     and Gil McDougald outran a bunt to first, putting two on with nobody out. Then Yogi Berra
     sliced an outside pitch hard down the left-field foul line – a game-tying double, for sure,
     until backup outfielder Sandy Amoros came running out of nowhere, stuck out his
     glove and snagged the ball as he careened toward the stands. He wheeled and
     threw to shortstop Reese, who tossed it to Hodges at first, who caught
     McDougald off the bag by inches. The Yanks’ sure thing had soured
     into a game-killing double play.

     The final triumphant out came on an Elston Howard grounder to Reese, the 38-year-old team
     captain who’d been around for all five of the Dodgers’ losses to their cross-town rivals. Reese
     scooped up the ball and fired low and wide to first, but somehow – as John Drebinger wrote
     in the Times the next day, “Gil would have stretched halfway across the Bronx for that
     one” – Hodges grabbed it in time to send Howard back to the dugout and end the game.

     The 1955 series turned out to be the only one the Brooklyn Dodgers would ever win.
     They lost to the Yanks again the next year. The year after that, the team’s owner
     decided he’d rather play in a swank stadium in a nicer neighborhood, so he
     moved the team to California. The Los Angeles Dodgers have won the championship five times.

442. October 3, 1995
     =-===========
     At the end of a sensational trial, former football star O.J. Simpson was acquitted of the
     brutal 1994 double murder of his estranged wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend,
     Ronald Goldman. In the epic 252-day trial, Simpson’s “dream team” of lawyers employed
     creative and controversial methods to convince jurors that Simpson’s guilt had not been
     proved “beyond a reasonable doubt,” thus surmounting what the prosecution called
     a “mountain of evidence” implicating him as the murderer.

     Orenthal James Simpson – a Heisman Trophy winner and star running back with the Buffalo Bills, and popular television personality – married Nicole Brown in 1985. He reportedly regularly abused his wife and in 1989 pleaded no contest to a charge of spousal battery. In 1992, she left him and filed for divorce. On the night of June 12, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were stabbed and slashed to death in the front yard of Mrs. Simpson’s condominium in Brentwood, Los Angeles. By June 17, police had gathered enough evidence to charge O.J. Simpson with the murders.

     Simpson had no alibi for the time frame of the murders. Some 40 minutes after the murders were committed, a limousine driver sent to take Simpson to the airport saw a man in dark clothing hurrying up the drive of his Rockingham estate. A few minutes later, Simpson spoke to the driver though the gate phone and let him in. During the previous 25 minutes, the driver had repeatedly called the house and received no answer.

     A single leather glove found outside Simpson’s home matched a glove found at the crime scene. In preliminary DNA tests, blood found on the glove was shown to have come from Simpson and the two victims. After his arrest, further DNA tests would confirm this finding. Simpson had a wound on his hand, and his blood was a DNA match to drops found at the Brentwood crime scene. Nicole Brown Simpson’s blood was discovered on a pair of socks found at the Rockingham estate. Simpson had recently purchased a “Stiletto” knife of the type the coroner believed was used by the killer. Shoe prints in the blood at Brentwood matched Simpson’s shoe size and later were shown to match a type of shoe he had owned. Neither the knife nor shoes were found by police.

     On June 17, a warrant was put out for Simpson’s arrest, but he refused to surrender. Just before 7 p.m., police located him in a white Ford Bronco being driven by his friend, former teammate Al Cowlings. Cowlings refused to pull over and told police over his cellular phone that Simpson was suicidal and had a gun to his head. Police agreed not to stop the vehicle by force, and a low-speed chase ensued. Los Angeles news helicopters learned of the event unfolding on their freeways, and live television coverage began. As millions watched, the Bronco was escorted across Los Angeles by a phalanx of police cars. Just before 8 p.m., the dramatic journey ended when Cowlings pulled into the Rockingham estate. After an hour of tense negotiation, Simpson emerged from the vehicle and surrendered. In the vehicle was found a travel bag containing, among other things, Simpson’s passport, a disguise kit consisting of a fake moustache and beard, and a revolver. Three days later, Simpson appeared before a judge and pleaded not guilty.

     Simpson’s subsequent criminal trial was a sensational media event of unprecedented proportions. It was the longest trial ever held in California, and courtroom television cameras captured the carnival-like atmosphere of the proceedings. The prosecution’s mountain of evidence was systemically called into doubt by Simpson’s team of expensive attorneys, who made the dramatic case that their client was framed by unscrupulous and racist police officers. Citing the questionable character of detective Mark Fuhrman and alleged blunders in the police investigation, defense lawyers painted Simpson as yet another African American victim of the white judicial system. The jurors’ reasonable doubt grew when the defense spent weeks attacking the damning DNA evidence, arguing in overly technical terms that delays and other anomalies in the gathering of evidence called the findings into question. Critics of the trial accused Judge Lance Ito of losing control of his courtroom.

     In polls, a majority of African Americans believed Simpson to be innocent of the crime, while white America was confident of his guilt. However, the jury–made up of nine African Americans, two whites, and one Hispanic–was not so divided; they took just four hours of deliberation to reach the verdict of not guilty on both murder charges. On October 3, 1995, an estimated 140 million Americans listened in on radio or watched on television as the verdict was delivered.

     In February 1997, Simpson was found liable for several charges related to the murders in a civil trial and was forced to award $33.5 million in compensatory and punitive damages to the victims’ families. However, with few assets remaining after his long and costly legal battle, he has avoided paying the damages.

     In 2007, Simpson ran into legal problems once again when he was arrested for breaking into a Las Vegas hotel room and taking sports memorabilia, which he claimed had been stolen from him, at gunpoint. On October 3, 2008, he was found guilty of 12 charges related to the incident, including armed robbery and kidnapping, and sentenced to 33 years in prison.

443. October 3, 1951
     ============
     On October 3, 1951, third baseman Bobby Thomson hit a one-out, three-run home run in
     the bottom of the ninth inning to win the National League pennant for the New York Giants.
     Thomson’s homer wrapped up an amazing come-from-behind run for the Giants and
     knocked the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Giants’ hated inter-borough rivals, out of their spot in the
     World Series. The Giants went on to lose the Series to the Yankees, but Thomson’s miraculous
     homer remains one of the most memorable moments in sports history – – –
     THE SHOT HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD.

     The Giants weren’t even supposed to be in the pennant race – they were 13 1/2 games
     behind the legendary Dodgers by the middle of August, and everyone thought they
     were finished. But then they won 16 games in a row. By October, they’d won 37 of
     their last 44 games and had tied Brooklyn for the lead. It was time for a playoff,

     New York won the first game. The Dodgers won the second game 10-0.
     The third game – with 34,320 people at the Polo Grounds in Washington
     Heights – was the tie-breaking winner-take-all game, and by the ninth
     inning, it seemed like a lost cause. The Dodgers were winning 4-1.
     People in the stands were gathering their belongings and heading for the
     subway. But then the Giants came to life. Al Dark and Don Mueller hit
     singles, both to right field. Then, after a Monte Irvin pop-up, Whitey
     Lockman doubled to left and sent Dark safely home. Now the score
     was 4-2, with runners on second and third.

     While Bobby Thomson waited to bat, the Dodgers sent in relief pitcher Ralph Branca.
     Thomson was a reliable hitter, and since first base was open and the new rookie Willie
     Mays waited on deck, many thought that Branca would throw a deliberate walk. He didn’t.
     The first pitch was a called strike. Thomson drilled the second into the left-field stands.

     “The Giants win the pennant!” radio announcer Russ Hodges howled. “The Giants win the
     pennant! The Giants win the pennant!” He kept screaming until he lost his voice. Meanwhile,
     inside the Polo Grounds, pandemonium reigned. Fans flooded the field. Thomson took curtain
     call after curtain call. People in Manhattan and Brooklyn made so many phone calls in the
     half-hour after Thomson’s homer that New York Telephone nearly lost service in the two boroughs.

     The next day, the momentum continued: The Giants beat the Yankees 5-1 in the first game
     of the World Series. However, the Yankees came back to win The World Serires in six games.

     In 1954 the underdog Giants swept the World Series in four straight games,
     thanks in part to Willie Mays’ stupendous first-game over-the-shoulder catch
     in center field. But by the end of the 1950s, both the Giants and the Dodgers
     had moved to California, and an incredible era in New York baseball history was over.

444. If this is to be our last hoorah on wiki, might as well post what my thoughts have wandered this beautiful crisp day in the hills. Even before Neo-Think came along, I believe I have been subconsciously trying to raise myself to a higher consciousness. There have been so many questions and many of them still are unanswered. …. Thought! What just happened in Las Vegas is horrific and at the present time it seems to be the worst thing that we have ever encountered , but most likely because it is still fresh on our mind. If we travel back to the beginning of RECORDED time and history, not just here in this country , but through out the entire universe, there have always been murders, suppression created by just a few who push chaos, hate, deceit, violence, forms of mind-control and hypnosis and other various mysticisms……. Who have these creators of destruction and repression been?? Most have commonly been tied to a handful of power seekers and egoist coupled with greed, and most have always been politicians and so called religious leaders who are happy to not only steal through unearned values and usurped power, but also your life. However we are created, what then triggers this kind of behavior in mankind? Is there, In spite of all of our scientific breakthroughs and more advanced technology , that one ingredient that has yet to be discovered that controls the course of our conscious lives. What stems emotions and actions such as pride, hate, envy, prejudice, and even love? So many questions in need of honest answers. That’s todays rant. Love to all.

445. October 2, 2006
     =============
     On this day, Charles Roberts entered the West Nickel Mines Amish School in
     Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania, where he fatally shot five female students and
     wounded five more before turning his gun on himself and committing suicide.

     Charles Carl Roberts IV, a 32-year-old milk truck driver from a nearby town, entered the
     one-room schoolhouse at around 10:30 a.m. armed with an arsenal of weapons, ammunition,
     tools and other items including toilet paper that indicated he planned for the possibility
     of a long standoff. He forced the 15 boys and several women with infants inside the
     school to leave and made the 11 girls present line up against the blackboard.
     Police were contacted about the hostage situation at approximately 10:30 a.m.
     When they arrived at the schoolhouse a short time later, Roberts had barricaded the
     school doors with boards he had brought with him and tied up his hostages. Roberts spoke
     briefly with his wife by cell phone and said he was upset with God over the death of his baby
     daughter in 1997. He also told her he had molested two girls 20 years earlier and was having fantasies
     about molesting children again. At approximately 11 a.m., Roberts spoke with a 911 dispatcher and said if the police didn’t leave he’d start shooting. Seconds after, he shot five of the students. When authorities stormed the schoolhouse, Roberts shot himself in the head.

     Roberts, a father of three, had no criminal history or record of mental illness. Additionally,
     his family knew nothing about his claims that he had molested two young female relatives.
     The Amish community, known for their religious devotion, as well as wearing traditional
     clothing and shunning certain modern conveniences, consoled Roberts’ wife in the wake
     of the tragedy; some members even attended his funeral. Ten days after the shootings,
     the Amish tore down the schoolhouse and eventually built a new one nearby.
     ==================

446. October 2, 1968
     ============
     On October 2, 1968, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson struck out 17 Detroit Tigers
     in the first game of the World Series, breaking Sandy Koufax’s record for the most
     strikeouts in a Series game. Though the Cards ended up losing the Series in seven
     games, Gibson pitched three and struck out an unprecedented 35 batters.

     Gibson was recovering from an injury the year before when a Roberto Clemente line drive
     had smashed his ankle, but he still managed to win 22 games in 1968, with one 15-game
     winning streak that included 10 of his 13 shutouts. He started 34 games and finished
     28 (an incredible 304 2/3 innings of play) and in one remarkable 96-inning stretch
     he allowed just two runs. His earned-run average was 1.12, the fourth-lowest ever.

     Gibson was the National League’s MVP in 1968, but his weren’t the year’s only extraordinary
     accomplishments on the mound. Tigers pitcher Denny McLain (who lost twice to Gibson
     in the ’68 Series) won 31 games. Dodger Don Drysdale threw six shutouts in a row – a
     record 58 2/3 scoreless innings. The Cards and the Giants threw back-to-back
     no-hitters, one against the other, and the Astros beat the Mets by scoring
     just one run after an exhausting 24 innings.

     People called it the Year of the Pitcher, and it didn’t happen by accident. The
     home-run-heavy early 1960s had inspired baseball commissioner Ford Frick to try
     to prevent batters from batting quite so well, for fear that the game would become too
     lopsided for fans to enjoy. Frick raised the pitchers’ mound from 10 inches to 15, and he
     implemented a bigger strike zone. As a result, batting averages tumbled. Only six players hit
     over .300 in 1968, and Carl Yastrzemski’s .301 was the lowest average ever to win a league batting title.

     Pitchers were happy, but almost no one else was. Commissioner William Eckert was
     fired at the end of the season for not doing more to help hitters. The next year,
     new commissioner Bowie Kuhn reintroduced the 10-inch pitchers’ mound
     and the smaller strike zone, and Rod Carew won the AL title with a .332
     average. Since then, the designated hitter; the shrinking strike zone; smaller
     ballparks; weight training and steroids; and livelier baseballs have all boosted
     batting averages and made it harder to pitch as successfully as Gibson and his peers.

     But Gibson took the changes in stride. He struck out 10 Pirates and walked three
     in his only no-hitter in August 1971. Three years later, he pitched his 3,000th
     strikeout–only the second in MLB history to do so–to Cesar Geronimo
     of the Cincinnati Reds. (He’d throw 3,117 in all.) He was a first-ballot
     selection to the Hall of Fame in 1981, and fans voted him to the
     All-Century Team in 1999. His statue stands outside Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

447. October 1, 1962
     ============
     On this day in 1962, Johnny Carson took over from Jack Paar as host of
     the late-night talk program The Tonight Show. Carson went on to host
     The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson for three decades, becoming
     one of the biggest figures in entertainment in the 20th century.

     John William Carson was born on October 23, 1925, in Corning, Iowa. He grew up in
     Norfolk, Nebraska, served in the U.S. Navy in the mid-1940s and attended the University
     of Nebraska. By the early 1950s, he was living in California and working in radio and the
     emerging medium of television. He later moved to New York City and in 1957 became
     the host of the popular game show Who Do You Trust? In 1958, Carson appeared
     on The Tonight Show as a substitute for host Jack Paar. The Tonight Show had
     originated in 1951 in Los Angeles as a radio program hosted by Steve Allen.
     In 1954, the program moved to TV and in 1956, Jack Parr replaced Allen
     as the host. Carson took over permanent hosting duties from Parr on
     October 1, 1962. He hosted the show from New York City until 1972,
     when it relocated to Burbank, California.

     Each edition of The Tonight Show began with Carson’s sidekick Ed McMahon announcing
     “Heeere’s Johnny!” Carson, who became known for his relaxed, affable stage presence and
     dapper appearance, performed an opening monologue of jokes, punctuated by his
     trademark golf swing. Following the monologue, he would banter with McMahon and the
     show’s bandleader Doc Severinsen and sometimes perform skits and play characters such
     as Carnac the Magnificent, an “all-knowing seer,” and the elderly Aunt Blabby. Carson then
     conducted celebrity interviews. The Tonight Show featured sit-downs with the day’s
     biggest movie and TV stars, as well as athletes, politicians, singers, comedians and animal
     acts. On December 17, 1969, The Tonight Show drew its largest audience when some
     58 million people tuned in for the on-air wedding of the diminutive singer Tiny Tim to a
     teenage fan known as Miss Vicki.

     As for Carson’s influence on the TV industry as a whole, according to his obituary in the
     New York Times: “Throughout his career, Mr. Carson was instrumental in changing
     some of the bedrock ways television operated. His move to Burbank meant a
     realignment of American pop culture from East Coast to West Coast,
     from Broadway to Hollywood. And once the ‘Tonight’ show
     ceased to be televised live from 11:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. and began being
     taped in the early evening, it lost some of the spontaneity and sense of danger
     that live performance brings (and also, eventually, a half-hour of its running time). The
     practice of taping is now the norm, and virtually all live entertainment programming on
     national television has become a thing of the past.”

     After three decades with the hugely successful Tonight Show, Carson decided to retire.
     He hosted his final show on May 22, 1992. Comedian Jay Leno took over hosting duties
     the following day. Carson, who was married four times, stayed largely out of the public
     spotlight after retiring. On January 23, 2005, the late-night TV legend died at the age of
     79 of complications from emphysema.

448. The Face to the World Summit 2017 was wonderful. It was nice meeting the mentors and other members in the C of U again. I met some members i didn’t meet last year and i was so glad to exchange ideas with them.

     I like the way Tim introduced, lifted and motivated everyone. Of course i love his songs too so with Eugene and Jonathan.

     I love Miss Annabelle story. It reminds me when i read it 2 years ago.

     My cousin and i had such a beautiful experienced before, during and after the Summit. Maybe because of the power of Neothink , Law of attraction or both.

     Thank you Mark Hamilton, Steve, Charlie, Sage, Juanita, Tim and everyone.

449. Thinking back a few years, I wonder how many others who after receiving the 3 keys (Miss Annabelle’s story), were so curious they tried to actually separate the fact from the fiction and went about the task of researching every thing they were reading. Okay, I did! For instance, YES! there really is a Cheektowaga New York, and on You-tube, I located a REAL Dr. Ian Scott PhD. who lived in the U. K. and was or possibly still is Director of Chemical Development and President @ Chemelian, Inc. Coincidence? I guess only the author, Mark Hamilton knows for sure. But hey, with all rumors and stories floating around about where we are living in an illusion, and possibly existing in parallel worlds and until which time we elevate ourselves to a much higher consciousness, who knows!!., So what if Miss Kay is the REAL Miss Annabelle? Maybe a clue lies on page 57 when Jessie and she were talking and she said ” I see something very different in children. They’re able to see “What Is” , not what”Appears to be” . Children absorb reality like a sponge , but I can point out “What Is” to an adult over and over again, yet months or years later he or she will never get it”. Just a rambling thought. now I am through talking to myself. An ice cream cone is only a temporary fix on a hot day, but LOVE is forever.

450. September 30, 1955
     ================
     On this day in 1955, movie star James Dean died at age 24 in a car crash on a California highway.
     Dean was driving his Porsche 550 Spyder, nicknamed “Little Bastard,” headed to a car race in
     Salinas, California, with his mechanic Rolf Wuetherich, when they were involved in a head-on
     collision with a car driven by a 23-year-old college student named Donald Turnaspeed.
     Dean was taken to Paso Robles War Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:59 p.m.
     Wuetherich, who was thrown from the car, survived the accident and Turnaspeed escaped with
     minor injuries. No charges were ever filed against him.

     James Byron Dean was born February 8, 1931, in Marion, Indiana. He studied
     drama at the University of California, Los Angeles, before moving to New York
     City, where he appeared in plays and TV shows and took classes at the Actors
     Studio with legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg.

     Dean rose to stardom in 1955 with his role as Cal Trask in East of Eden. He reportedly beat out Paul Newman for the part. Dean’s performance in the film, based on the John Steinbeck novel, earned him a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. It was the first time in Oscar history that an actor was nominated after his death. The young actor’s next film was “Rebel Without a Cause,” also released in 1955, in which he played a rebellious teen named Jim Stark. The film, which co-starred Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo, turned Dean into the poster boy for disaffected youth and cool. Dean’s final film “Giant,” released in 1956 after his death, was an epic tale of a Texas cattle rancher and his family. Dean starred opposite Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson and was nominated posthumously for a second Oscar for his performance as Jett Rink.

     Dean’s success as an actor enabled him to pursue his passion for racing cars and motorcycles.
     Despite his short life and brief acting career, he endures as a Hollywood icon. He is buried at
     Park Cemetery in Fairmount, Indiana, where fans continue to flock to his grave every year.
     People also pay tribute to Dean at a memorial located near the accident site in Cholame, California.

451. September 30, 1927
     ================
     On September 30, 1927, Babe Ruth hits his 60th home run of the 1927
     season and with it sets a record that would stand for 34 years.

     George Herman Ruth was born February 6, 1895, in Baltimore, Maryland. He was the first
     of eight children, but only he and a sister survived infancy. Ruth’s father was a saloon
     keeper on Baltimore’s waterfront, and the young George, known as “Gig”
     (pronounced with soft g’s) to his family, was known as a troublemaker
     from an early age. At seven, his truancy from school led his parents
     to declare him incorrigible, and he was sent to an orphanage,
     St. Mary’s Industrial School for Boys. Ruth lived there until
     he was 19 in 1914, when he was signed as a pitcher by
     the Baltimore Orioles.

     That same summer, Ruth’s contract was sold by the Orioles to the Boston Red Sox. His new teammates called him “Babe,” short for baby, for his naiveté, but his talent was already maturing, and he was almost immediately recognized as the best pitcher on one of the great teams of the 1910s. He set a record between 1916 and 1918 with 29 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings in World Series play, including a 14-inning game in 1916 in which he pitched every inning, giving up only a run in the first.

     To the great dismay of Boston fans, Ruth’s contract was sold by the Red Sox to the New York Yankees
     before the 1920 season by Red Sox owner Harry Frazee, so that Frazee could finance the musical
     No, No, Nanette. Ruth switched to the outfield with the Yankees, and hit more home runs
     than the entire Red Sox team in 10 of the next 12 seasons. “The Sultan of Swat” or
     “The Bambino,” as he was alternately known, was the greatest gate attraction
     in baseball through the 1920s until his retirement as a player in 1935.

     The 1927 season featured a fearsome Yankees lineup of power hitters known as “Murderer’s Row”
     that included Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Tony Lazzerri and Bob Meusel. Ruth led the American League in
     home runs throughout the year, but did not appear to be within reach of his record 59 home runs,
     set in 1921, until he hit 16 in the month of September, tying his record on September 29.
     On September 30, in the last game of the season, Ruth came to the plate against lefty Tom Zachary
     of the Washington Senators in the eighth inning. With the count at 2-1, Ruth launched a Zachary
     pitch high into the right-field bleachers, and then took a slow stroll around the bases as the crowd
     celebrated by tearing paper into confetti and throwing hats into the air. Upon assuming his
     position in right-field for the ninth inning, those seated in the bleachers waved hankies at the
     famed slugger; Ruth responded with multiple military salutes.

     During Ruth’s career with the New York Yankees, the team won four World Series
     and seven American League pennants. After getting rid of Ruth, the Red Sox did
     not win a World Series until 2004, an 85-year drought known to Red Sox fans
     as “the Curse of the Bambino.”

     Ruth died of throat cancer on August 16, 1948. His record for career home runs
     was not broken until Hank Aaron hit his 715th home run on April 8, 1974, 39 years later.

452. Week end ramblings from the hills. Several items caught my eye this week so I would just like to pass them along. Hopefully no one will find them offensive.
     One of the local blogs I follow pointed out that Hugh Hefner was from “just down the road apiece”, having strong mid-west roots in spite of publicity depicting otherwise. He was the son of a Methodist minister from a small town in Nebraska. Thinking I was being pretty cute, I texted him back and mentioned maybe they should move the “mansion” alongside of I-80 at Kearny as a tourist attraction for people who are otherwise bored with that lonely stretch of highway, but I was outdone by another blogger who said , quote, ” People often express that when someone dies they’re in a “better place”, but in Hugh’s situation, I’m not so sure.”…………Talking about your life changing on a dime!! Recent news here in little old Rapid a 64 year old common working man was thinking about retirement. He had inherited his dad’s coin collection and thinking it might be worth 80-90 bucks took it in for appraisal. He was pretty much right about the contents of the collection until they ran across an 1894 S uncirculated Barber dime. Reportedly there was only 24 ever minted and only 9 in existence today, they valued it at $2.4 Million, and found a buyer immediately . That sure would change my retirement plans……………. Someone asked me this week if I knew what the letters AIPAC stood for? so pardon my inferior mind but I didn’t, however a bit of research prompted me to believe the most prominent answer was that it stands for the “American Israel Public Affairs Committee”, and is the most powerful pro-Israel lobby advocacy group in the world. So to cut to the thick of it, they basically BUY politicians to assure they get aid to Israel and impose sanctions on other countries such as Iran currently. They also sponsor dozens of trips (vacations) for lawmakers and their Aides each year to visit their country. (And who believes politicians can’t be bought!!!)…………..And finally to Pete: One of your more interesting posts referred to the life of the James brothers, Frank and Jesse. Interesting how stories differ in meaning and content. I have posted this story before, but in my own family history, we have a pretty good photo of one of my grandmothers cousins who resided in Eastern Kansas on the Missouri border, posing with his wife and daughter, and the wife’s name was Elizabeth James, and we have it from some pretty good sources that she was in fact from the same family. (sister) . My wife had 2 old grannies who both lived past the age of a hundred . They were both widowers and lived on the homestead all their adult life in what started out as a 2 room cabin but over the years rooms and attics were expanded, and Great Grandma Addie Coffman might have lived forever had she not fell down those old stairs and broke her hip. (A problem we must solve before Biological Immortality) She said Frank and Jesse had sat at her dinner table and watered the horses at the spring many a time, and their version of history is so much different than what historians depict the James boys to be. So leave it to each of us to believe what was right or wrong.. Will leave on this note. I also have a family photo of my great grand parents surrounded by there children including my beloved grandmother, and on the ground lays a Johnnie Rebel hat as plain as day. so please don’t erase my history. Thanks for keeping our site on Wiki going. Enough chattering for the week end. Love to all!

453. Friday the 29th of September………So did you know that their is a REAL pyramid in the middle of the Dakotas? specifically in Cavalier Co. North Dakota, and it’s location is simply listed as “North east of tactical road: Southeast of tactical road S. It is a part of the Stanley R. Mickelsen Safeguard Complex. The only available photos are from the Library of Congress of which there are 14 of them. Mystery still surrounds even modern day pyramids, so is it home of the Stargate? It is a military building that few have ever seen. According to our government, this massive structure served as the site’s missile control building , so you know that what ever is going on inside is kept top-secret. The complex was the U. S. first operational ABM defense system and was put into operation in the early 70’s to defend missiles based at Grand Forks AFB in the event of a nuclear ICBM attack. According to some of those who know, the pyramid is self sustaining and has it’s own water system that is still operational, though it’s function as a missile defense system has (supposedly) been defunct since 1976. It has been said that it is certainly one of the coolest looking structures we NEVER knew existed looking similar to the Mayan pyramids. There’s actually very little info on the use of the complex since it’s closure was PUBLICLY announced , which of course means that conspiracy theories about it are abound……….Is it a dooms day base?…..or a secret military command unit, OR just a forgotten North Dakota relic? The rumors could offer more truth than fiction such as the water ascends from below the ground and that plants etc can grow 3 times faster than vegetation outside. Is it a fallout shelter for the richest elite in case of a nuclear war, or is it where we store our deadliest nuclear weapons. Some who claim they know has said it is their to detect nukes and space asteroids. Our area is especially known for UFO sightings, but given the wide open areas we have here, it is much easier to imagine unknown phenomena , but one thing I find interesting is this is in the same vicinity of what is the geographical center of North America. Hmmm!! Hope you enjoyed my story, Love, along with fall is in the air.

     On September 29, 1954, Willie Mays, centerfielder for the New York Giants, makes an amazing over-the-shoulder catch of a fly ball hit by Cleveland Indians first baseman Vic Wertz to rob Wertz of extra bases in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series. The catch has gone down as one of the greatest in the history of baseball.

     Willie Howard Mays was born May 6, 1931, in Westfield, Alabama. The “Say Hey Kid” learned baseball from his father, who played semi-professionally with a team from his steel mill. Willie joined the steel mill team at age 14, and then began his professional career at 16 with the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Southern League. He played home games for the Barons from 1948 to 1950, skipping road trips during the school year so he could attend high school. Upon graduation he was signed by the New York Giants, and made his debut at the Polo Grounds on May 25, 1951. Mays went hitless in his first 12 at-bats, hitting his first big league homer in his 13th. That season, he was named Rookie of the Year and helped the Giants to the National League pennant.

     In 1952, Mays was drafted into the Army. The Mays-less Giants barely missed the pennant in 1952, then felt his absence more acutely in 1953, when they finished the season with a 70-84 record.

     Upon his return in 1954, the Giants won the National League by five games over their archrivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and then met the Indians in the World Series. In the eighth inning of Game 1, with the score tied 2-2 and two runners on base, Indians first baseman Vic Wertz hit a fly ball 440 feet deep into center field. Mays turned, ran and then caught the ball over his shoulder with his back to the infield, before spinning and firing the ball back into the infield to keep the runners from advancing. The catch preserved the tie, and the Giants won the game on a home run by Dusty Rhodes in the 10th inning. When he was asked later about the catch, Mays famously replied, “I don’t rank ‘em, I just catch ‘em.” The Giants went on to sweep the 1954 World Series.

     Mays was named the National League MVP in 1954, and again in 1965. He played in a record 24 All-Star games, winning the All-Star MVP in 1963 and 1968. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1979. His base running, power, fielding, ability to hit for average and outstanding arm in the outfield made him the prototype “five-tool” player for whom baseball scouts search. Any argument over who deserves the title “greatest baseball player in history” has to include Willie Mays.

457. September 28, 1991
     ===============
     On this day in 1901, Ed Sullivan – who become the host of the long-running TV variety
     program The Ed Sullivan Show – was born in New York City. During the peak of its
     popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, Sullivan’s program showcased a wide range
     of entertainers, including Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Rudolf Nureyev, Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope.

     Sullivan worked as a newspaper reporter and columnist in New York during the 1920s and 1930s
     and also hosted and produced vaudeville shows and benefits. In 1948, he became the master
     of ceremonies of a weekly TV variety show dubbed Toast of the Town. In 1955, the
     program, which aired Sunday nights on CBS, was renamed The Ed Sullivan Show.
     Although Sullivan was often awkward and self-conscious on camera, he was
     a hit with audiences and his program had broad appeal. In addition to
     big-name entertainers, the show featured animal acts, athletes,
     comedians, dancers and opera singers, along with such
     regulars as Topo Gigio, a mouse puppet with an Italian
     accent, and a ventriloquist named Senor Wences.

     Notable moments in the history of The Ed Sullivan Show include its broadcast on January 6, 1957, when Elvis Presley appeared on the program and the cameras shot him from the waist up because his gyrating hips were considered too scandalous for family television. On February 9, 1964, more than 70 million viewers tuned in to the show for the American TV debut of the Liverpool-based rock quartet The Beatles.

     Sullivan was also notable for featuring African-American performers on his program. According to the Museum of Broadcast Communications: “At a time when virtually all sponsors balked at permitting black performers to take the stage, Sullivan embraced Pearl Bailey over the objections of his sponsors. He also showcased black entertainers as diverse as Nat “King” Cole, Leontine Price, Louis Armstrong, George Kirby, Richard Pryor, Duke Ellington, Richie Havens and the Supremes.”

     The Ed Sullivan Show was cancelled in 1971. Sullivan died of cancer at the age of 73 on October 13, 1974. In 1967, CBS renamed the Billy Rose Theater, from which Sullivan broadcast his show, the Ed Sullivan Theater. David Letterman has hosted his late-night talk show from the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is located at Broadway and 53rd Street in Manhattan.

458. September 28, 1991
     ===============
     On September 28, 1991, jazz trumpet legend Miles Davis died in a California hospital at the age of 65.

     In an era when a pop star like Madonna is labeled a “chameleon” merely for risking an
     occasional change in clothing and hairstyle, our vocabulary may no longer be adequate
     to describe the nature of an artist like Miles Davis. In a career that spanned parts of
     six decades, Miles Davis didn’t simply evolve as an individual musician. He drove the
     very evolution of the art form he worked in, pulling much of the jazz world along with
     him as he moved from one new sound to the next with utter disregard for the critical
     or popular reaction. And though the reception to some of the directions Miles Davis
     took was strongly negative, it never kept him from pursuing new ones. As he once said
     of himself, “I have to change….It’s like a curse.”

     Miles Dewey Davis III was given his first trumpet on the day he turned 13, and by the time he was 15,
     he was a card-carrying member of the local musicians’ union in Saint Louis, Missouri. He left St. Louis
     for New York City in 1944 to pursue a degree in music at Juilliard, though he immersed himself in the
     world of professional jazz while still receiving his classical training. In the clubs on 52nd Street in
     postwar Manhattan, a new sound was being born, and Miles Davis had a hand in its creation.
     As a member of Charlie Parker’s quintet in 1945, Davis played on some of the earliest
     recordings made in the hugely popular style that became known as be-bop.
     But by 1948, he was leading his own quintet on the first of his many
     departures from the jazz mainstream.

     First came “cool jazz,” a highly cerebral and highly unpopular style that nevertheless sparked a
     whole new movement. Then came “hard bop,” a style he developed in the mid-1950s after
     several years lost in the early part of the decade to heroin addiction. The decade that
     followed was the period of Davis’s greatest popularity – a period during which he
     not only continued to break new musical ground on albums like
     Miles Ahead (1957), Kind of Blue (1959) and Sketches of Spain (1960) – but
     also managed to introduce the world to many other jazz greats he employed as
     sidemen: John Coltrane, Red Garland, Cannonball Adderley, Wayne Shorter and Herbie
     Hancock. From the mid-1960s onward, the rate of Davis’s evolution only increased as he
     went through periods of experimentation with rock and funk, among other new sounds. In a
     career that spanned parts of six decades, it seems the one direction Miles Davis refused to look
     for inspiration was backward.
     =================

459. September 28, 1941
     ===============
     On this day in 1941, the Boston Red Sox’s Ted Williams played a double-header against the
     Philadelphia Athletics on the last day of the regular season and got six hits in eight trips
     to the plate, – to boost his batting average to .406 – and become the first player since Bill
     Terry in 1930 to hit .400 for an entire season. Williams, who spent his entire career with
     the Sox, played his final game exactly 19 years later, on September 28, 1960, at Boston’s
     Fenway Park and hit a home run in his last time at bat, for a career total of 521 homeruns.

     Williams was born on August 30, 1918, in San Diego, and began his major league career with the
     Red Sox in 1939. William’s best season was 1941. In addition to his .406 batting average – no
     major league player since him has hit .400 – the left fielder led the league with 37 homers, 135
     runs and had a slugging average of .735. Also that season, Williams, whose nicknames included
     “The Splendid Splinter” and “The Thumper,” had an on-base percentage of .553, a record that
     remained unbroken for 61 years – until Barry Bonds achieved a percentage of .582 in 2002.

     In 1942, Williams won the American League Triple Crown, for highest batting average
     and most RBIs and homeruns. He duplicated the feat in 1947. In 1946 and 1949, he was
     named the American League’s Most Valuable Player and in June 1960, he became the
     fourth player in major league history to hit 500 homers. He was selected to the All-Star
     team 17 times.

     Williams played his last game on September 28, 1960, and retired with a lifetime batting
     average of .344, a .483 career on-base percentage and 2,654 hits. His achievements are
     all the more impressive because his career was interrupted twice for military service:
     Williams was a Marine Corps pilot during World War II and the Korean War and as a
     result missed a total of nearly five seasons from baseball.

     Williams, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966, managed the
     Washington Senators (renamed the Texas Rangers in 1972) from 1969 to 1972. In
     1984, the Boston Red Sox retired his uniform number (nine). Williams died of
     cardiac arrest at age 83 on July 5, 2002, in Florida. In a controversial move, his
     son sent his father’s body to be frozen at a cryonics laboratory.

460. 9/28/17. Hi JC, Pete, Forest, and any stragglers along the way! Sweater weather is back again. (Long Johns look silly hanging out from the bottom of your running shorts) Credit this article from EWAO. com. Second Earth may host alien life. (Actually if your prone to venture out in to the A/C here on this one, you already find alien life) , however researchers have discovered and confirmed a second Earth located in the Proxima Centuari system. The planet is believed to have oceans just like here on Earth. In the past , thousands of exoplanets have been discovered in the universe, but none of them is like Proxima B, as it has been baptized, which has very “promising” characteristics. It is probably rocky, slightly more massive than Earth and is located in the region around it’s star that allows liquid water on it’s surface to exist. Researchers went on to say that is one of the closest stars to Earth which they believe harbors liquid water and potentially ALIEN life. They estimate it about 1.3 times the size of Earth and has the ideal temperature on it’s surface for water in a liquid state to exist. Proxima B is located 4 light years away from Earth or over 25 Trillion miles. (Sounds a lot like our current physical debt) meaning that in order to visit the planet in the near future the future generation will have come up with some super-fast spacecraft(Elon probably has) that would allow them to travel to the Proxima Centuari system with ease. If the planet proves to be a “second” Earth, it could become one of the best options for human colonization . They believe that the temperature on the planet to be between 90 and 30 degrees Celsius. The story goes on forever, so here are just a few more highlights, Researchers believe it might be our best opportunity to find direct evidence of alien lifeforms outside our solar system and its possible that life as we know is very likely to exist, and a mission to the planet to search for signs of life could be achievable within our life time. Just my luck, by the time my old Chevy and I make it over there, all they will have is Ford Garages and Exxon’s on every corner. Share the love, some body including me really needs it today.

     In Rome, the Society of Jesus – a Roman Catholic missionary organization – received its
     charter from Pope Paul III. The Jesuit order played an important role in the Counter-Reformation
     and eventually succeeded in converting millions around the world to Catholicism.

     The Jesuit movement was founded by Ignatius de Loyola, a Spanish soldier turned priest, in August 1534. The first Jesuits – Ignatius and six of his students – took vows of poverty and chastity and made plans to work for the conversion of Muslims. If travel to the Holy Land was not possible, they vowed to offer themselves to the pope for apostolic work. Unable to travel to Jerusalem because of the Turkish wars, they went to Rome instead to meet with the pope and request permission to form a new religious order. In September 1540, Pope Paul III approved Ignatius’ outline of the Society of Jesus, and the Jesuit order was born.

     Under Ignatius’ charismatic leadership, the Society of Jesus grew quickly. Jesuit missionaries played a leading role in the Counter-Reformation and won back many of the European faithful who had been lost to Protestantism. In Ignatius’ lifetime, Jesuits were also dispatched to India, Brazil, the Congo region, and Ethiopia. Education was of utmost importance to the Jesuits, and in Rome Ignatius founded the Roman College (later called the Gregorian University) and the Germanicum, a school for German priests. The Jesuits also ran several charitable organizations, such as one for former prostitutes and one for converted Jews. When Ignatius de Loyola died in July 1556, there were more than 1,000 Jesuit priests.

     During the next century, the Jesuits set up ministries around the globe. The “Black-Robes,” as they were known in Native America, often preceded other Europeans in their infiltration of foreign lands and societies. The life of a Jesuit was one of immense risk, and thousands of priests were persecuted or killed by foreign authorities hostile to their mission of conversion. However, in some nations, such as India and China, the Jesuits were welcomed as men of wisdom and science.

     With the rise of nationalism in the 18th century, most European countries suppressed the Jesuits, and in 1773 Pope Clement XIV dissolved the order under pressure from the Bourbon monarchs. However, in 1814, Pope Pius VII gave in to popular demand and reestablished the Jesuits as an order, and they continue their missionary work to this day. Ignatius de Loyola was canonized a Catholic saint in 1622.

463. September 26, 2008
     ================
     On this day in 2008, Paul Newman – one of the leading movie stars of the 20th century – died
     at the age of 83 from cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut. In a career spanning more
     than five decades, Newman made over 65 movies, including the classics “Cool Hand Luke,”
     “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” “The Sting” and “The Verdict.” As reported in
     The New York Times, Newman’s talent as an actor was drawn from his “physical grace,
     unassuming intelligence and good humor that made it all seem effortless.”

     Paul Leonard Newman was born on January 26, 1925, in Cleveland, Ohio, and raised in the nearby suburb of Shaker Heights. In high school, he acted in school drama performances and played football. At age 18, Newman joined the U.S. Navy and served as a radioman/gunner on a torpedo plane during World War II. After the war, Newman attended Kenyon College on a football scholarship and continued to act. He graduated in 1949 and began performing with small theater companies. Following the 1950 death of his father, Newman briefly moved back to Cleveland to help manage his family’s sporting goods store. After a stint at the Yale Drama School, Newman made his Broadway debut in “Picnic” in 1953. His silver-screen debut came a year later in “The Silver Chalice,” which he later labeled the worst film ever made. Newman’s first starring movie role was in 1956’s “Somebody Up There Likes Me,” in which he portrayed real-life boxer Rocky Graziano.

     The famously blued-eyed Newman earned his first Academy Award nomination, for best actor, with his performance in the 1959 big-screen version of Tennessee Williams’ “Cat on a Hat Tin Roof.” He went on to collect lead-actor Oscar nominations for his work in seven other films: “The Hustler” (1961), “Hud” (1963), “Cool Hand Luke” (1967), “Absence of Malice” (1981), “The Verdict” (1982), “The Color of Money” (1986) and “Nobody’s Fool” (1994). Of those nominations, he took home only a golden statuette for “The Color of Money.” Additionally, he garnered an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor for 2002’s “Road to Perdition.” Newman also earned an Oscar nomination for best picture with 1968’s “Rachel, Rachel,” in which he directed his wife, the actress Joanne Woodward (1930-).

     Among Newman’s many other notable cinematic performances was 1969’s “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” in which he teamed up with Robert Redford (1936-) to play a team of bank robbers in the Old West. The film was a commercial and critical success and won four Oscars. Newman and Redford collaborated again with 1973’s “The Sting,” in which they portrayed a pair of con men. The movie collected seven Academy Awards, including best picture, and was a big hit at the box office.

     In addition to acting, Newman was known for his love of auto racing. After playing a professional race car driver in 1969’s “Winning,” he became passionate about the sport and competed in a number of races, including the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, at which he took second place in 1979. In 1983, he co-founded a racing team with Carl Haas, Newman/Haas Racing (now Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing).

     Newman was also a noted philanthropist who launched a series of summer camps for sick children and founded a multi-million-dollar food business, Newman’s Own, the profits of which go to charity.

464. September 26, 1960
     ================
     On this day in 1960, Massachusetts Democratic Senator John F. Kennedy and
     Republican Vice President Richard M. Nixon faced each other in a nationally
     televised presidential campaign debate.

     The debate ushered in an era in which television would dominate political campaigns. The immediacy
     and power of television worked well for candidates who could think on their feet and knew how to
     play to the audience. At the first of four debates, Kennedy arrived looking well-groomed and
     confident, while his opponent Nixon, who had just been released from the hospital after
     two weeks recuperating from a badly injured knee, appeared haggard and was sporting
     a “5 o’clock shadow” or light beard. Although he arrived in a wrinkled suit and
     appeared underweight and had a grayish pallor, Nixon refused the
     assistance of a makeup artist, a decision he likely later regretted.
     Kennedy clearly “won” the debate, a fact attributable to both his superior
     comfort level with the new communication medium and his “telegenic” good looks.

     According to the Museum of Broadcast History, radio listeners considered Nixon’s answers to
     questions to be more substantive and gave Nixon the advantage over Kennedy after the first
     debate. By contrast, television viewers gave Kennedy the edge, as their impressions were
     based on how the candidate looked as much as what he said.

     Nixon’s negative experience with televised debates led him to refuse
     to engage in such debates during the 1968 and 1972 campaigns.

466. September 24, 1948
     ================
     On this day in 1948, motorcycle builder Soichiro Honda incorporated the Honda Motor Company in Hamamatsu, Japan. In the 1960s, the company achieved worldwide fame for its motorcycles (in particular, its C100 Super Cub, which became the world’s best-selling vehicle); in the 1970s, it achieved worldwide fame for its affordable, fuel-efficient cars. Today, in large part because of its continued emphasis on affordability, efficiency and eco-friendliness (its internal motto is “Blue skies for our children”), the company is doing better than most.

     Before he founded the company that bore his name, Soichiro Honda was a drifter and a dreamer. He bounced from one mechanic’s job to another, and also worked as a babysitter, a race car driver and an amateur distiller. Even his wife said he was a “wizard at hardly working.” In 1946, he took over an old factory that lay mostly in ruins from wartime bombings, though he did not have much of a plan for what he would do there. First he tried building what he called a “rotary weaving machine”; next he tried to mass-produce frosted glass windows, then woven bamboo roof panels. Finally, after he came across a cache of surplus two-stroke motors, he had an idea: motorbikes.

     Honda adapted the motors to run on turpentine and affixed them to flimsy cycle frames built by workers at the Hamamatsu factory. The bikes sold like hotcakes to people desperate for a way to get around in postwar Japan, where there was virtually no gasoline and no real public transit. Soon enough, Honda had sold out of those old engines and was making his own. In 1947, the factory produced its first complete motorbike, the one-half horsepower A-Type (nicknamed “The Chimney” because it was so smoky and smelly). After the company’s incorporation, Honda produced a more sophisticated bike: the 1949 steel-framed, front- and rear-suspended D-Type that could go as fast as 50 miles per hour. At the end of the 1950s, it introduced the Cub, a Vespa clone that was especially popular with women and was the first Honda product to be sold in the United States.

     Starting in the 1960s, the company produced a few small cars and sporty racers, but it wasn’t until it introduced the Civic in 1973 that it really entered the auto market. The car’s CVCC engine burned less fuel and could pass American emissions tests without a catalytic converter; as a result, the car was a hit with American drivers frustrated by rising gasoline costs. The slightly larger, plusher 1976 Accord won even more fans, and in 1989 it became the most popular car in the United States.

     More recently, the customer base for Honda’s efficient, environmentally friendly cars has grown exponentially. Its tiny Fit car is selling well, and the company has plans to introduce a five-door hybrid model that will compete with Toyota’s Prius.

     Soichiro Honda was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1989. He died two years later at the age of 84.

467. September 23, 1994
     ================
     On this day in 1994, The Shawshank Redemption, starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, opened in theaters around the United States. Based on a short story titled “Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption,” by the best-selling author Stephen King, the movie followed the story of a man named Andy Dufresne (Robbins) who is sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his wife and her lover. Behind bars, Andy forms a friendship with Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding (Freeman), a longtime inmate known for his ability to “get things,” or smuggle contraband into the prison. The Shawshank Redemption was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Actor (Freeman) and Best Picture (it lost to Forrest Gump). Frank Darabont, who wrote and directed The Shawshank Redemption, also helmed The Green Mile (1999) and The Mist (2007), both of which were based on books by King.

     Tim Robbins, born on October 16, 1958, made his breakthrough film performance as the up-and-coming minor league pitcher Nuke LaLoosh in 1988’s Bull Durham. The movie co-starred Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon, who would become Robbins’ longtime partner. Robbins went on to appear in Robert Altman’s The Player (1992) and Bob Roberts (1992), which also marked his screenwriting and directing debut. In 1995, he wrote and directed Dead Man Walking, which co-starred Sarandon and Sean Penn. The film, a provocative look at capital punishment, earned Robbins an Oscar nomination for Best Director and won Sarandon the statuette for Best Actress. Among Robbins’ other movie credits as an actor are Arlington Road (1999) and Catch a Fire (2006). He collected an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Mystic River (2003). Robbins and Sarandon, who have two sons together, are known for their political and social activism.

     Morgan Freeman, born on June 1, 1937, gained notice in the 1980s with Street Smart (1987), for which he received a Best Supporting Actor nomination; the Civil War drama Glory (1988); and Driving Miss Daisy (1988), for which he earned a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his role as the chauffeur Hoke Colburn. Freeman’s long list of hit movies includes Lean on Me (1989), Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991), Unforgiven (1991), Se7en (1995), Kiss the Girls (1997), and Bruce Almighty (2002). He won his first Academy Award, for Best Supporting Actor, for Million Dollar Baby (2003). More recently, the prolific Freeman narrated the hit 2005 documentary March of the Penguins (2005), co-starred opposite Jack Nicholson in The Bucket List (2007) and appeared in Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008), the latest two installments of the super hero franchise.

468. September 22, 1972
     ================
     On this day in 1972, “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me” by singer-songwriter Mac Davis
     reached the top of the American pop charts. In a year that not only saw Congress
     pass the Equal Rights Amendment, but also saw Helen Reddy score a #1 hit with
     her feminist anthem “I Am Woman,” “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me” stands
     in rather stark contrast as one of the more blithely chauvinistic pop hits of all time.

     Early in his career, Scott “Mac” Davis was best known within the music industry as a professional
     songwriter who scored a quartet of late-career hits for Elvis Presley—”A Little Less Conversation” (1968), “Memories” (1969), “In The Ghetto” (1969) and “Don’t Cry Daddy” (1969)—and another for
     Bobby Goldsboro—”Watching Scotty Grow” (1971). With “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me,” Davis
     would score his first hit as a performer.

     “Baby Don’t Get Hooked On Me” was sung from the perspective of a young man reluctant to
     allow a romantic fling to turn into a committed relationship, despite a certain undeniable
     fondness for his paramour. “You’re a hot-blooded woman-child,” he sings, “and it’s warm
     where you’re touchin’ me.“ But after dispensing with such pleasantries, the protagonist
     proceeds to explain, “Baby, baby, don’t get hooked on me/’Cause I’ll just use you and I’ll set you free.”

     Despite lyrics likely to be deemed chauvinistic by 21st-century standards, “Baby Don’t Get Hooked
     On Me” found ready acceptance in 1972 and launched Mac Davis on a decade-long run in the
     pop-cultural spotlight. And in contrast to the apparent callousness of “Baby Don’t Get
     Hooked On Me,” Mac Davis proved during that run to be one of the most charming
     and likable characters in the pop-cultural landscape, not only hosting his own
     short-lived TV variety show, but also making numerous appearances as an
     actor on television and in movies. And if the song that made him a star
     hasn’t aged all that well, his signature tune, “I Believe In Music” and
     his humorously self-deprecating country hit “It’s Hard To Be Humble” certainly have.

469. Don’t you hate it when this happens? That Mark Hamilton style of stimulation (the forces of nature) drew me into the fold. The big headline says: “All blue – eyed people have a SINGLE Ancestor in common. Born around 6000 -10,000 years ago, blue eyes are caused by a gene mutation . For years, researchers had searched for it on the OCA2 gene. The OCA2 gene determines how much brown pigment in our eyes, but what they were looking for wasn’t there at all. The mutation was found on an entirely different gene called HERC2.. HERC2 turns off OCA2, meaning it turns off the brown and reveals the blue. Every blue eyed person has this exact same mutation. How did the meditation get it’s start? Possibly when humans migrated from Africa to Europe. This would explain why only people of European people descent have blue eyes. It would also suggest that all blue eyed people share a single European ancestor. Now that’s an impressive family tree………..THAT”S IT? Never leave a Neo-thinker hanging like that!!!!!!! As I stand staring into the bathroom mirror I will spend the rest of eternity or infinity trying to find that guy!

470. Well day #1 at the Summit should have wound down now, as it’s 11 oclock Eastern time. The weather guy says we might have snow in the forecast! Brrrr! Not ready for that. So while sitting here in the A/C, might as well be doing something constructive. This article from Awareness Act seems to be a description of many of my closest Neo-Think friends, so lets post it, shall we? Things STRONG people do without realizing it. People who are mentally strong have been pushed to the limit over and over again. They have toughened their mentality to be able to take on anything. They have an extreme can do outlook on life and aren’t afraid to stand up for themselves, however they do not typically talk about their mental strength or their feelings at all. Fortunately , this has caused them to gain many other traits that most people lack now days. Society today has become extremely artificial and self-absorbed. Nobody takes each other into consideration at all anymore. They tend to see god in everything , and they also have special skills when it comes to protecting themselves of negative energy. People who are mentally tough always does the things although they scarcely or seldom admit it. THEY ALWAYS KNOW WHEN SOMEONE IS BULLSHITTING THEM. Being mentally strong causes them to notice when people are taking advantage of them or if they are being sincere.. For the sake of maintaining positive relationships , they can not always call out those who are less aware. They simply do not realize they are doing it, and it’s a learning process through a lesson. ALMOST NOTHING IS AS INFURIATING AS WHEN PEOPLE FAKE EMOTION. Mentally resilient people are better able to recognize artificial and authentic emotions . If you think your shy by singing your emotions to get what you want, you will only get as far as meeting this person. THEY FEEL WIERDLY RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS, Judith. They routinely find themselves in hours of deep conversations trying to figure out everyone else’s problems as though they were their own. They have the tendency to care for other people before they look after themselves which can become exhausting. Empathy is a strong suit of these people. SOMETIMES DIFFICULT TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY ARE OVER THINKING OR NOT. There human. they are flexible, sometimes they think they are feeling something only because there thoughts have convinced them so. THEY CAN SENSE MORE THAN THEY OFTEN WANT TO. SO THEY END UP CLOSING THEMSELVES OFF . The realization that they have the capability often leads to a fearful shutting down of there own emotions just so they don’t have to cope with the potential of running into something they don’t know how to deal with. THEY CONSTANTLY CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK. Every on is different and everyone is flawed, so they shouldn’t worry about others opinions, although they commonly do. It’s not that they are particularly victimized , only they are conscious of people’s inner thought processes to a degree others aren’t. THERE”S NOTHING THEY WANT MORE THAN TO FIGURE THINGS OUT. Thy are the people who thrive on certainty, who only dive into a relationship when they are sure it’s the “one” . This becomes a struggle because life is not about being certain. It’s about trying they want to try anyway. Nothing ever happened because someone was certain they wanted to try and did. THEY SEE IT AS PART OF VALUABLE TRAINING. Mentally strong people view this as a learning experience, and never dwell on the past or beat themselves up for making mistakes. They understand everyone makes them and the past is nothing but a process of training, and the “NOW” is what truly matters. Well, what a perfect way to spend an otherwise cold rainy night here in the A/C, and may have learned a little something about my self too.

471. September 22, 1985
     ================
     It all started with an offhand remark made by Bob Dylan during his performance at Live Aid,
     the massive fundraising concert held at Wembley Stadium, London, and JFK Stadium,
     Philadelphia, in the early summer of 1985. As television viewers around the world
     phoned in donations in support of African famine relief, Dylan said from the
     stage, “I hope that some of the money…maybe they can just take a little
     bit of it, maybe…one or two million, maybe…and use it, say, to pay
     the mortgages on some of the farms and, the farmers here, owe
     to the banks.” Dylan would come under harsh criticism from
     Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof for his remarks (“It was a crass, stupid and
     nationalistic thing to say,” Geldof would later write), but he planted a seed with
     several fellow musicians who shared his concern over the state of the American family
     farm. Less than one month later, Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp announced
     plans for “Farm Aid,” a benefit concert for America’s farmers held in Champaign, Illinois, on this day in 1985.

     As one might have expected of a concert staged to “raise awareness about the loss of family farms
     and to raise funds to keep farm families on their land,” Farm Aid featured a number of performers
     from the worlds of country, folk and rootsy rock music. There were the three main organizers and
     the instigator Bob Dylan, for instance, along with Hoyt Axton, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard,
     Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn, Joni Mitchell and Charley Pride. But the first Farm
     Aid, more than any of the annual Farm Aid concerts since, was a bit of a stylistic free-for-all,
     featuring artists united only by their interest in supporting a good cause.

     “As soon as I read in the paper that there was gonna be such a thing,” Sammy Hagar told MTV’s
     cameras on the day of the show, “I called my manager and said, ‘I wanna do it.’ And he said,
     ‘It’s all country.’ I said, ‘I don’t care. It’s America. I wanna do it.’ If there was anything more
     surprising than hearing Hagar perform his hard-rock anthem “I Can’t Drive 55″ on the same
     stage that had earlier featured the quiet folk of Arlo Guthrie, it was hearing Lou Reed perform
     “Walk On The Wild Side” on a stage that had featured John Denver.

     Over the years since its first charity concert on this day in 1985, the Farm Aid organization
     has raised upwards of $33 million to support small farmers, promote sustainable farming
     practices and encourage consumption of “good food from family farms.”

472. September 21, 1981
     ================
     On September 21, 1981, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Steve Carlton strikes out the 3,118th batter of his career to break Bob Gibson’s National League record for career strikeouts. Despite Carlton’s 10 shutout innings and 12 strikeouts, the Phillies lost the marathon game to the Montreal Expos in the 17th inning, 1-0.

     Carlton, known to the baseball world as “Lefty,” began his major league career with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1965. The 6’4″ left-hander was an imposing presence on the mound and his slider, a fastball thrown with the fingers laid across one seam, was one of the most famous – and difficult to hit – pitches in baseball history. The Cardinals won back-to-back National League pennants in 1967 and 1968 behind Carlton’s stellar pitching, and after an impressive 20-9 campaign in 1971, he demanded a more lucrative contract. The team owners instead traded Carlton to Philadelphia, though they soon had cause to regret their decision. Carlton pitched one of the greatest seasons in National League history in 1972, going 27-10 on a team that won only 59 games in total, a major league record. In addition, his 27 wins, 310 strikeouts and 1.97 ERA won him the pitching triple crown and the first of four Cy Young Awards. After a slump in 1973, Carlton put together a string of dominant seasons, and was again awarded the Cy Young in 1977 and 1980, when he helped the Phillies to the organization’s first-ever World Series championship.

     On September 21, 1981, the Phillies and Expos were engaged in a tight battle for the NL East title in a strike-shortened season. Carlton displayed his usual dominance, faltering only in the third inning when he allowed the Expos to load the bases before striking out Andre Dawson to retire the side. The strikeout was Carlton’s 3,118th, giving him the National League record for most career strikeouts. Carlton went on to strike out 10 more batters on the night, allowing no runs. The game continued in a scoreless tie until the 17th, when Dawson singled in the winning run. The game was the longest in the majors that year.

     Carlton won his fourth Cy Young Award in 1982, his 17th season in the majors. He retired in 1988 with 4,136 career strikeouts and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994, his first year of eligibility.

473. September 20, 2012
     ================
     On this day in 2012, 16 members of a dissident Amish group in Ohio are convicted of federal
     hate crimes and conspiracy for forcibly cutting the beards and hair of fellow Amish with
     whom they had religious differences. The government classified the ruthless attacks
     as hate crimes because beards and long hair have important religious symbolism
     to the Amish, who are known for their pacifism, plain style of dress and refusal
     to use many forms of modern technology.

     The men and women convicted in the attacks belonged to a group of about 18 families who
     lived on an 800-acre farm owned by their leader, Samuel Mullet Sr., near Bergholz, Ohio,
     100 miles southeast of Cleveland. Mullet, an Amish bishop and father of 18, masterminded
     the 2011 attacks against fellow Amish whom he viewed as enemies of his ultraconservative
     splinter sect. The five separate assaults involved nine people and spread fear through Amish
     communities in Ohio, home to an Amish population of roughly 60,000. The
     perpetrators — sometimes wielding shears meant for horse manes — restrained victims and
     in some cases hurt those who came to their aid. Afterwards, the attackers took photographs
     in order to further humiliate the injured parties.

     The Amish typically resolve disputes on their own, without involving law enforcement; however,
     several beard cutting victims reported the attacks to police out of concern that Mullet was
     operating a cult. Mullet (who did not participate directly in the attacks) and a group of
     his followers were arrested in late 2011, and their case went to trial in late
     August 2012. It was the first case in Ohio that applied a landmark 2009
     federal law — the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes
     Prevention Act — which gave the government increased powers
     to prosecute crimes motivated by bigotry.

     During the trial, prosecutors argued that Mullet believed he was above the law and kept tight
     control over his followers with a kind of cult-like domination. Among other things, he censored
     their mail and imposed punishments on adults such as paddling and confinement in chicken
     coops. The prosecution also presented witness testimony that Mullet had pressured married
     female followers to have sex with him under the guise of marital counseling. Defense lawyers,
     who called no witnesses, did not dispute that the beard and hair cuttings took place. However,
     they said the acts were simple assaults that did not meet the definition of hate crimes because
     they were based on personal feuds rather than religious motives. The defense also contended
     that the shearings were performed out of compassion in order to convince the recipients to
     return to a stricter Amish lifestyle.

     On September 20, 2012, the 66-year-old Mullet was convicted along with three of his sons, one
     of his daughters and 11 other followers. On February 8, 2013, a federal judge in Cleveland
     sentenced Mullet to 15 years in prison. His co-defendants received sentences ranging
     from one to seven years behind bars.

(with attachments) Say Hi to the gang. Now I would go back to crying in my beer except they wont let me have any beer either. Here I am stuck in the A/C while all my friends are in the C of U. Boo hoo, Boo hoo!!!!!!!!!. Who would ever imagined Newark New Jersey being the center of the Universe. (Does this count as an integration?)

475. It’s Friday nignt – 9/22/17.

     Thu Summit is happening in Newark, and I left my reading glasses in my room.
     More to come over the weekend. !!! pez

476. From one of my favorite blogs on FB. Awareness Act: Nothing on this Earth bound planet makes any sense anymore so I am constantly trying to find ways to cheer me up. Even in organizations that are suppose to be about love, unity, peace, wealth and health etc, there are those who don’t, as they still say down home in the bible belt “practice what they preach”…( Ok I have been working on them for years, but I have no control over their mysticisms.), and I was ready for some POSITIVE news. Below are five (5) spiritual facts that scientists are finally able to understand. We all try to come up with the best REALISTIC answer as to why reality is the way it is, but sometimes the answer don’t need to be so clear. There are some things that can be explained much easier than others and there is nothing with not knowing to an extent. Of course we have been learning so much throughout the years that now lots of things we used to consider unreal or even outlandish are normal. Here is a list regarding spirituality that have not been understood on such a deep level until now. We can only hope as time progresses that things will become more clear, and all the while we will understand that nothing is ever certain and some things were not meant to be understood by everyone.
     (1) We can create a reality for ourselves through THOUGHT . If you know anything about the law of attraction then this should be easy to understand. THOUGHT POWER is the key to making the reality that you make for yourself. This whole world we live in is a reflection of your inner world and thoughts.. If you learn to control your thoughts, If you learn to control your thoughts you can make a world that fits perfectly. You see , if your realistic in this and work hard while controlling your thoughts you will be able to ATTRACT the things that you want in life.
     (2) Ascension does not involve going anywhere. It is not about leaving the planet or even about getting out of bed, but is a CONSCIOUS choice to engage in evolution. when we focus on being AWARE and convert to this state of living we reach a higher VIBRATIONAL frequency .
     (3) We are SPIRITUAL beings on a human journey. While we do live in these physical bodies they are not who we are. We are ENERGY , life is not what it seems, there is so much more buried away. While we do not have a full scientific explanation for this sort of thing right now it’s becoming easier to understand.
     (4) Our souls never die. People die all the time and lots of them are either brought back or come back. If you take the time to look over what these people experienced in their time while being “dead” you realize quickly that there is so much more beyond this life. Our souls are infinite, our bodies are not.
     (5) Everything is ENERGY, different energies vibrate at different frequencies. Mass is nothing but vibration. There is no such thing as solid matter when you truly break it all down. Some matter has a stronger centripetal force than others, but that is the main difference. Well, I enjoyed posting it, and my thoughts go out to those fortunate enough attend the Summit this week in Jersey. Luv you all!

477. NASA’S CASSINI SPACECRAFT WILL MEET ITS FIERY END IN SATURN’S ATMOSPHERE
     ON FRIDAY – A 13-YEAR TOUR OF THE PLANET WILL SOON BE OVER!!

     The Verge – posted by Loren Grush
     Sep 11, 2017

     After 13 years of zooming around Saturn and its many moons, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has less than four days left at the planetary system before the probe is lost forever. Early Friday morning, Cassini will dive into Saturn’s atmosphere, eventually melting and breaking apart. The death plunge will put an end to the spacecraft’s mission, one that has taught us more about Saturn and its moons than we ever thought possible.

     This final step has long been planned by the Cassini mission team, and it’s meant to protect the Saturn system. Two of the planet’s moons — Enceladus, with its subsurface ocean, and Titan, with lakes of methane — may have the right conditions to harbor life. By destroying Cassini, NASA ensures the spacecraft will never accidentally wander near the moons and contaminate them with microbes that may have hitched a ride from Earth.

     “WE’RE GUARANTEED TO GO INTO SATURN, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS.”

     In April, NASA maneuvered Cassini into its final stage, known as the “Grand Finale” — a path that takes the vehicle between Saturn and its famous rings, and closer to the planet than ever before. During these week-long orbits, the probe has been gathering some of its most crucial data yet. But the planet’s gravity will eventually get the best of Cassini after the 22nd Grand Finale orbit, pulling the spacecraft into the planet at 6:31AM ET on Friday. “The navigators have no more maneuvers to do,” Scott Edgington, the deputy project scientist for Cassini, tells The Verge. “We’re guaranteed to go into Saturn, no matter what happens.”

     Once Cassini enters Saturn’s atmosphere, it will only be five or six minutes before the probe is taken apart. During the plunge, its instruments will be getting up-close measurements that will be sent back to Earth in real time. All that data will probably keep researchers busy for awhile. “Some of these analyses will take years for scientists to figure out,” says Edgington. “I would expect to still hear a lot more from Cassini in the coming years.” (End)

     Very interesting and exciting to learn more about Saturn. More and more is being disclosed in this crazy world we live in!! NASA is coming out of the closet this past year or more. Amazing stuff.

478. Monday, September 18, 2017. Thank you, everyone, for rallying round and coming back together to continue posting … I will do my best to make it a priority to post at least once a week, or the smaller ones closer together, okay? Appreciate you all. We are truly like a family – whose members must go their separate ways at time – but will always be connected. All we need now is for them to ‘bring home’ a few friends and distant relatives to help us out here, huh? That would be synchronistically in divine order, if you ask me.

     Cowboy, I enjoyed your mini-treatise on synchronicity!! I take that phenomenon so much for granted in my life it’s unreal – and as I mentioned last week – Mike bringing you the Business Plan (even for me) was a bit mind-boggling, to say the least!! Enjoyed the information. Later, guys

479. JUDGE NAPOLITANO KNOWS WHY SESSIONS HASN’T PROSECUTED CLINTON, OTHER DEMS
     Posted on September 13, 2017 by Rick Wells

     Stuart Varney opens the discussion with Judge Andrew Napolitano by referencing a case in Maryland in which a judge has ordered an investigation into three attorneys who are believed to have helped Hillary Clinton destroy evidence.

     Napolitano reminds Varney that it is not a criminal investigation and neither is it a civil lawsuit. “It’s an ethics investigation. Did these three lawyers violate ethical rules by the manner in which they physically handled Mrs. Clinton’s emails?”

     He says, “The worst that could happen to them is a public reprimand. That’s it, so where is this going? The government has chosen not to prosecute. Jeff Sessions, the Justice Department can investigate, indict and prosecute but they choose not to do so.”

     Varney asks if Napolitano thinks it’s a good decision not to prosecute, to which Napolitano replies, “No, I think it’s a terrible decision not to prosecute. They should prosecute Mrs. Clinton because there’s ample evidence of her guilt and they should prosecute anybody that destroyed evidence in a criminal investigation.”

     Varney asks, “Are you disappointed with Jeff Sessions thus far?” Napolitano answers without hesitation, “Yes, even though he’s my friend, I’m going to hear about this. Yes, for this and for other reasons.”

     He asks the question many of us have been asking with every Clinton speech or excuse for her loss, “Why do you think he’s stepped back from pushing the envelope in these cases? Why?”

     Napolitano replies, “I hate to tell you this. It’s an institutional culture in government. We don’t want to go after our predecessors because we don’t want our successors to come after us.”

     If that is in fact what is at play here then there is no accountability for the criminal wrongdoing official or for the one who is compromised, such as Sessions, who refuses to do his job in the interest of covering his own behind. That only works if we’re willing to accept inaction from our officials.

     President Trump may opt to keep him in the short term, but these are high profile prosecutions of the largest criminals in our nation. A good old boy “gentleman’s agreement” is hardly a valid justification for choosing not to prosecute. Sessions said he had a great conversation with Lynch when he took over. Did he promise her, Comey, Mills and all the rest amnesty? (End)

     Three guesses and the first two don’t even count! Jeez, I was doing so well here at staying positive, but I just couldn’t resist throwing this out there in the vein of political corruption we’re seeing all over the place. Add to that the weather wars, and we’re up to our eyeballs here in this country! How is Trump going to be able to drain the swamp if it’s flooded out? Sigh. I’m visualizing positive outcomes, anyway. (Yes, I’m still wearing those old nearly worn-out rose colored glasses). Thank you, Dr. Frank Wallace for Neo-Tech and Mark Hamilton for Neothink!!

480. BlacklistedNews
     THE HOUSE TELLS SESSIONS’ JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IT WILL NOT STAND FOR CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE
     Published: September 14, 2017
     SOURCE: ACLU
     The U.S. House sent a strong message of rebuke to Attorney General Jeff Sessions on civil asset forfeiture last night. The House adopted three amendments offered to an appropriations bill that prohibit the Department of Justice from using funds to increase certain federal and local forfeiture practices.

     Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) summed up the problem with civil asset forfeiture in one sentence. “It is an unconstitutional practice that is used to violate the due process rights of innocent people,” he said from the House floor.

     This bipartisan showing was in response to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ July announcement to expand the use of civil forfeiture. Sessions’ action was a reversal of a 2015 Attorney General Eric Holder policy that prevented local law enforcement from using federal forfeiture laws to circumvent more restrictive state forfeiture laws.

     The House votes also signaled that Congress remains committed to comprehensive civil forfeiture reform.

     The ACLU joined a diverse set of partners in support of these amendments. Our organizations believe that the “civil forfeiture system undermines property rights and is fundamentally unjust.” The ACLU is particularly concerned with civil forfeitures’ impact on poor people and people of color. As Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) said on the House floor yesterday, “Forfeiture efforts tend to target poor neighborhoods” and that forfeiture “does not discriminate between the innocent and the guilty.”

     The House votes also signaled that Congress remains committed to comprehensive civil forfeiture reform. Like Rep. Tim Walberg (R-Mich.) said, “This amendment is a starting point, and we can’t stop here.” The ACLU will continue its work with members on both sides of the aisle to advance legislation like the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act and the DUE PROCESS Act. These bills would provide important procedural protections for those who want their day in court to challenge forfeitures, and the FAIR Act would address the profit incentive that is driving forfeiture.

     Over on the Senate side, civil forfeiture reformers, like Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), also had a bone to pick with the practice. Yesterday, Grassley wrote Sessions expressing outrage with the U.S. Marshals’ misuse of forfeiture funds. The marshals have used forfeiture funds to furnish a Texas facility with “high-end granite countertops and expensive custom artwork” despite a prohibition of such purchases with forfeiture funds. Forfeiture funds “should not be treated as a slush fund for extravagances,” Grassley said.

     And Grassley’s letter coincides with other forfeiture abuses coming to light in recent weeks. Over the weekend, a U.C. Berkley police officer seized $60 from a hot dog vendor for not having the appropriate permits. Last week, we learned that a Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security improperly spent over $100,000 in forfeiture funds on cateringand banquet tickets. Today the Institute for Justice announced it is suing U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the indefinite detention of a truck seized at a border crossing.

     Enough is enough, so we are excited that the Congress has taken action this week to rein in civil forfeiture. We need to make sure that the Senate follows the House’s lead and keeps the forfeiture amendments in any final spending bill.Congress needs to hear from you.

     During last night’s debate, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) stated, action must be taken when “the liberals and the conservatives come together and agree on libertarian principles.”

     We couldn’t agree more. (End)

     No kidding!!!! Reign in those Neocheaters and thieves … taking people’s money right out of their bank accounts … and you will ‘play hell’ ever getting it back! Come on, TVP!

481. WHO KNEW IT’S MAGNESIUM THAT IS THE KEY TO HEALTHY BONES – NOT CALCIUM!

     Growing up we were all under the impression that calcium strengthens bones.

     According to a study in 2004, people with extra calcium in their coronary arteries are more susceptible to having a heart attack. Scientists have established that calcium accumulation and LDL levels are two of the most common risk factors of heart attacks.

     Another research from 2007 showed that calcium from dietary sources is way better for postmenopausal women that calcium from supplements.

     A meta-analysis from 2010 showed that calcium supplements are related with increased risk of a heart attack.

     Calcium supplements are know by the public and medical community, that they are safe and critical to prevent fractures, yet a risk of kidney stones and other health issues could arise when taking too much calcium supplements.

     However, Magnesium is the key to healthy bones. Calcium is just another mineral which is necessary to have stronger bones.

     Magnesium definitely does not get the attention it deserves. Magnesium is responsible for more than 700 enzyme-activated reactions in the body. It also helps create energy, as well as regulating blood pressure, heart rate and blood sugar levels. Magnesium helps the nerves function and muscles relax. Hence the spasms in your legs or feet, apparently it is a lack of magnesium.

     Are you stressed out? Make sure you have enough magnesium.

     Magnesium is known to reduce muscle tension, lessen pain associated with migraine headaches, improve sleep, and address neurological disorders such as anxiety and depression.

     Conditions linked to magnesium levels include:

     PAIN:
     Headaches
     Muscle Spasms and Muscle Cramps
     Fibromyalgia

     MENTAL HEALTH AND SLEEP:
     Anxiety
     Depression
     Autism and ADD
     Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
     Insomnia
     Tics

     OTHER CONDITIONS:
     Psoriasis, Acne and Eczema
     Asthma
     Blood Pressure
     Diabetes
     Osteoporosis
     Allows nerves to send messages in the brain and nervous system
     Aids and regulates the body’s use of calcium and other minerals
     Assists in bone and teeth formation

     Magnesium is especially helpful for women! Fluctuating hormones affect magnesium levels, making women more sensitive to magnesium deficiency than men.

     Ladies have you ever wonder why you crave chocolate before your period? It’s because your body is clamoring for magnesium, and dark chocolate (80-plus percent cocoa) has more magnesium than any other food. Magnesium levels fluctuate during a woman’s cycle. Increasing dietary magnesium can help relieve PMS-related symptoms, such as headaches, bloating, low blood sugar, dizziness, fluid retention and sugar cravings.

     It would seem that Calcium is important, but it looks like that magnesium maybe even more important!! (End)

     I’ve known for many years NOT to take too much calcium … I guess I learned this important fact somewhere along the way. And I do use magnesium a great deal. My D3 and magnesium levels are much greater than most, according to my lab reports. It’s good to share important helpful health tips with each other. (After learning about the Turmeric/Curcumin supplements from Forest a couple years ago, taking this daily in the morning has helped me a great deal! I noticed a difference immediately. Belatedly, thanks Forest!)

482. NATIVE AMERICANS REVEAL 22 RULES OF LIFE THAT WILL SPEAK TO YOUR SOUL
     By Staff Contributor at Enlightened Consciousness
     September 14, 2017

     There are a lot many things that the world can learn from the Native Americans especially in these trying times when the world is facing hate, terrorism, hunger and corruption.

     Imagine if these peaceful tribes we’re never raided and their land and lives never taken. The history of our world would have transpired completely differently. We would be in touch with nature, ourselves and the Earth.

     We would be able to connect with animals, the stars, the flowers and each other so deeply; something so simple that has been lost through modern reality. Let us never forget the wisdom these natives shared. Let us re-create the world of cosmic, earthly and universal understanding they once knew.

     HERE ARE 22 THINGS NATIVE AMERICANS LEFT TO HUMANITY:

     1. SHARING GOOD FORTUNE
     It is always good to participate in charity. It is an act of kindness and it also makes the soul feel good.

     2. PLURALITY OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF
     We should respect others religious beliefs because the world is filled with multiple religions and faiths. Do not force your belief on others.

     3. TRUE TO YOURSELF
     If you can’t be true to yourself then you cannot be true to others. Pay attention to your needs as well!

     4. WHAT YOU WANT TO BE
     Explore your soul and know what you want to be in life. To know what life path you want to choose and how you would attain your goals is very important.

     5. GIVE SPACE TO OTHERS
     Get rid of your false sense of entitlement. If someone doesn’t want you then leave and stop forcing yourself on them. Similar can be said for those who push themselves on you!

     6. NEVER HURT OTHERS
     If you hurt others in any way, it’ll come back to you for sure. Never give pain to others and be careful of breaking their hearts.

     7. RESPECT NATURE
     We should respect nature and should take care to preserve it.

     8. CHILDREN
     Children represent our future. This is why we should take special care in teaching them valuable things all the while giving them space to grow on their own.

     9. MISTAKES ARE COMMON
     We are all humans and we make mistakes. No one is perfect and no one can ever be.

     10. SAY NO NEGATIVE THOUGHTS
     Negative thoughts not only cause stress, anxiety and depression, but it also leads to a variety of physical illnesses.

     11. RESPECT THE EARTH
     We should not take anything in this world for granted, not even the earth where we live. We should have respect for everything that we inherit from our environment.

     12. OTHERS’ OPINIONS
     We should acknowledge other people’s opinions instead of shutting them out. Seeing the other side can open our minds to unimaginable possibilities.

     13. DO NOT BADMOUTH OTHERS
     Don’t gossip about others because it is only creating more negativity in your life and of the others.

     14. PRAYING
     Pray whether you are a believer or not. A prayer from the heart is never ignored.

     15. PRACTICE TOLERANCE
     You should not judge others simply because they are not doing what you think is the right thing. Be tolerant towards people who are of a different mindset than you.

     16. TAKE CONTROL
     Don’t let others decide what you want to do in life. Make your own path and take proper guidance from those who are wise.

     17. GUESTS
     We should treat our guests with kindness and amiable behavior.

     18. DO NOT TAKE WHAT IS OTHERS’
     Be content with your share of things. Do not try to snatch others’ share. What is yours is yours and no one should be able to take that from you and you should also not do that to others.

     19. BALANCE
     Do not give in to a hedonistic lifestyle. Try to maintain balance between work and pleasure, personal and professional, body and mind.

     20. TRUTH
     Try to be truthful as often as possible. It saves the headache of remembering all those lies.

     21. ELDERS ARE IMPORTANT
     Respect your family and elders and make them proud.

     22. RESPECT THE MOTHER EARTH
     Love the land that is sustaining you. Connect with the mother earth in order to connect with the cosmos.

     Thanks to Simple Capacity for this article.

     I love the wisdom and knowledge brought forward by our Native Americans! Hope this touched your heart. Thank you Dr. Wallace and Mark Hamilton for creating this Neo-World for us to share and live in. Later, guys

483. September 18, 1996
     ================
     On this day in 1996, Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens struck out 20 Detroit Tigers,
     tying his own major league record for most strikeouts in a game.

     Ten years earlier, on April 20, 1986, Clemens, then just 23 years old, had broken Steve Carlton’s
     modern (post-1900) record of 19 strikeouts in a single game during an outing against the Seattle
     Mariners at Fenway Park. On that day, “The Rocket” was at the beginning of an MVP and
     Cy Young Award-winning season and eventually led the Red Sox to the American League pennant.
     The1996 season was a much different story for both Clemens and the Red Sox. The Sox finished
     the year a disappointing third in the American League East behind the New York Yankees, the
     team’s archrival, and the Baltimore Orioles. Though Clemens finished the year first in the AL
     in strikeouts, he posted 10 wins and 13 losses, the second losing record of his career. The 1996
     season was also the last year of Clemens’ contract with Boston, and many in the Red Sox
     organization and among the team’s faithful suspected that he might not return.

     Clemens started the game out strong on September 18 striking out fifteen players in the first
     six innings Clemens played on the aggressiveness of the Detroit batters, throwing seemingly
     hittable fastballs by their bats and fooling them with hard sliders in the dirt. Going into the
     ninth inning, Clemens was unaware that he had already racked up19 strikeouts and was just
     one away from tying his own record. The first Detroit batter, Alan Trammell, hit an easy pop
     fly for the first out. The second, Ruben Sierra, singled before Tony Clark, who had already
     struck out three times, hit another fly ball for the second out. Travis Fryman then struck
     out swinging to become Clemens’ 20th victim.

     With the 4-0 win, Clemens also tied his team’s record for most shutouts by a pitcher (38)
     and most wins (192), both of which were set by legendary Sox pitcher Cy Young in 1911.

     Amidst rumors of tension between Clemens and Boston’s general manager, Dan Duquette,
     Clemens left the Red Sox after the 1996 season and signed with the Toronto Blue Jays.
     He dominated in Toronto from the start, winning the Cy Young Award in 1997 and 1998.
     He was then traded to the Yankees, where he helped pitch them into the World Series
     four times in five years. After a three-season stint with the Houston Astros (2004-06),
     Clemens rejoined the Yankees in 2007 at age 44.

484. With all the devastation that is occurring in our good old U S A right now, most politicians are in favor of borrowing the money to rebuild infrastructure and help our nation back on it’s feet while taking advantage of an uprooted population to push there agenda and continue to add more to the already 20 Trillion debt. Curiosity got the best of me, so I went looking to see if I could find out what we spend our money on. We have a dirty little dictator in N. Korea who is threatening our way of life, yet we are giving them the funds to do so. Our government has ways of sneaking our hard earned tax dollars to these losers through the back door such the U S agency for International Development (USAID) Foreign Aid Agency and the U S State Dept. etc. Numbers are hard to nail down, but one report claims USAID gave 8 million to DPRK , citing drought and chronic malnutrition , and another article say we gave 100 million to 9 different small countries including N. Korea.. The real bomb came when it is reported that as of fiscal year 2017, Foreign aid, U.S. State Dept. and USAID has spread a total of 50.i Billion American dollars all over the world this year. Any one see anything wrong about this picture?

485. September 17, 1967
     ===============
     In introducing them at the Monterey Pop Festival three months earlier, Eric Burdon of the Animals
     had offered high praise for the up-and-coming British rock band the Who – promising the crowd
     “A group that will destroy you in more ways than one.” A substandard audio setup that day
     prevented the Who from unleashing the full sonic assault for which they were already
     becoming famous, but their high-energy, instrument-destroying antics inspired
     the next act, Jimi Hendrix, to burn his guitar and announced to the tens of
     thousands of Festival-goers the arrival of a powerful new force in rock
     and roll. The rest of America would get its introduction on
     September 17, 1967, when the Who ended an already
     explosive, nationally televised performance of
     “My Generation” with a literal bang that
     singed Pete Townshend’s hair, left shrapnel in Keith Moon’s
     arm and momentarily knocked The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour off the air.

     As buttoned-down as its hosts appeared to be, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour came as close
     as any network program could in 1967 to being culturally and politically subversive. Tommy and
     Dick Smothers fought a running battle with CBS during their show’s three-year run over
     scripts that subtly tweaked “the Establishment” and guests whose off-air politics were
     deemed controversial by network censors. Though there was nothing overtly political
     about the Who, it was more than just lyrics like “Hope I die before I get old” that
     marked the group as happy warriors in the generational battle being waged in
     the late 1960s. It was also, among other things, the sheer volume at which
     they preferred to play and their penchant for leaving every stage they
     played on looking as if a bomb had just gone off. On this day in 1967,
     one actually did.

     Keith Moon was already in the habit of placing an explosive charge in one of his two bass drums
     to detonate during Pete Townshend’s guitar-smashing at the end of each Who performance.
     But for their Smothers Brothers appearance, Moon packed several times the normal amount
     of explosives into his drum kit, and when he set it off, a gigantic explosion rocked the set
     as a cloud of white smoke engulfed Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey. Though bassist
     John Entwistle never lost his cool, Daltrey practically flew downstage and when Townshend
     emerged from the smoke, his hair was almost literally blown to one side of his head. Though
     the incredible explosion has been rumored to have caused Pete Townshend’s eventual
     near-deafness, credit for that should probably go instead to the Who’s pioneering use
     of stacked Marshall amplifiers as a means of achieving maximum volume during their live
     performances.

486. September 16, 1908
     ===============
     On September 16, 1908, Buick Motor Company head William Crapo Durant spent $2,000 to
     incorporate General Motors in New Jersey. Durant, a high-school dropout, had made his
     fortune building horse-drawn carriages, and in fact he hated cars – he thought they were
     noisy, smelly, and dangerous. Nevertheless, the giant company he built would dominate
     the American auto industry for decades.

     In the first years of the 20th century, however, that industry was a mess. There were about
     45 different car companies in the United States, most of which sold only a handful of cars
     each year (and many of which had an unpleasant tendency to take customers’ down payments
     and then go out of business before delivering a completed automobile). Industrialist Benjamin
     Briscoe called this way of doing business “manufacturing gambling,” and he proposed a better
     idea. To build consumer confidence and drive the weakest car companies out of business, he
     wanted to consolidate the largest and most reliable manufacturers (Ford, REO, his own
     Maxwell-Briscoe, and Durant’s Buick) into one big company. This idea appealed to Durant
     (though not to Henry Ford or REO’s Ransom E. Olds), who had made his millions in the carriage
     business just that way: Instead of selling one kind of vehicle to one kind of customer, Durant’s
     company had sold carriages and carts of all kinds, from the utilitarian to the luxurious.

     But Briscoe wanted to merge all the companies completely into one, while Durant wanted to
     build a holding company that would leave its individual parts more or less alone. (“Durant is
     for states’ rights,” Briscoe said. “I am for a union.”) Durant got his way, and the new GM was
     the opposite of Ford: Instead of just making one car, like the Model T, it produced a wide
     variety of cars for a wide variety of buyers. In its first two years, GM cobbled together 30
     companies, including 11 automakers like Oldsmobile, Cadillac, and Oakland (which later
     became Pontiac), some supplier firms, and even an electric company.

     Buying all these companies was too expensive for the fledgling GM, and in 1911 the corporation’s
     board forced the spendthrift Durant to quit. He started a new car company with the Chevrolet
     brothers and was able to buy enough GM stock to regain control of the corporation in 1916,
     but his profligate ways got the better of him and he was forced out again in 1920. During
     the Depression, Durant went bankrupt, and he spent his last years managing a bowling
     alley in Flint.

     ===============
     On this day in 1978, boxer Muhammad Ali defeated Leon Spinks at the Louisiana Superdome
     in New Orleans to win the world heavyweight boxing title for the third time in his career,
     the first fighter ever to do so. Following his victory, Ali retired from boxing, only to make
     a brief comeback two years later. Ali, who once claimed he could “float like a butterfly,
     sting like a bee,” left the sport permanently in 1981.

     Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. in Louisville, Kentucky, on January 14, 1942, the future world
     champ changed his name to Muhammad Ali in 1964 after converting to Islam. He earned a
     gold medal at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome and made his professional boxing debut a
     gainst Tunney Husaker in October 1960, winning the bout in six rounds.
     On February 25, 1964, Ali defeated the heavily favored Sonny Liston in six rounds to become
     heavyweight champ, after which he famously declared, “I am the greatest!”

     During the Vietnam War, Ali refused to be inducted into the U.S. armed forces and in 1967 was
     convicted of draft evasion and banned from boxing for three years. He stayed out of prison as
     his case was appealed and returned to the ring in October 1970, knocking out Jerry Quarry in
     Atlanta in the third round. On March 8, 1971, Ali fought Joe Frazier in the “Fight of the Century”
     and lost after 15 rounds, the first loss of his professional boxing career. In June 1971, the U.S.
     Supreme Court overturned Ali’s conviction for evading the draft.

     At a January 1974 rematch at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Ali defeated Frazier in 12
     rounds. In October of that same year, an underdog Ali bested George Foreman and reclaimed
     his heavyweight champion belt at the heavily hyped “Rumble in the Jungle” in Kinshasa, Zaire,
     with a knockout in the eighth round. On February 15, 1978, in Las Vegas, an aging Ali lost the
     title to Leon Spinks in a 15-round split decision. For Spinks, who was born in 1953 and won a
     gold medal in boxing at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, the fight was just the eighth
     of his professional career. However, seven months later, on September 15, Ali won the title
     back, in a unanimous 15-round decision.

     In June 1979, Ali announced he was retiring from boxing. On October 2, 1980, he returned to
     the ring and fought heavyweight champ Larry Holmes, who knocked him out in the 11th round.
     After losing to Trevor Berbick on December 11, 1981, Ali left the ring for the last time, with a
     record of 56 wins, five losses and 37 knockouts. In 1984, he was revealed to have Parkinson’s
     disease and died in 2016.

     Spinks retired from boxing in 1995 with a record of 26 wins, 17 losses and 14 knockouts.

489. September 14, 1968
     ===============
     On this day in 1968, Detroit Tigers pitcher Denny McLain won his 30th game of the season,
     becoming the first 30-game winner in the major leagues since 1938. The Tigers scored two
     runs in the bottom of the ninth to come from behind in a 5-4 decision over the Oakland A’s.

     McLain, a hard-throwing right-hander with a personality that reflected the freewheeling late 1960s,
     was 24 years old in 1968. On September 14, fans eager to witness the possible pitching milestone
     packed Tigers Stadium, and NBC broadcast the game nationally with former St. Louis Cardinal
     Dizzy Dean, the last pitcher to win 30 games in the major leagues, providing color commentary.

     Anticipation built as McLain held the young and powerful A’s scoreless until the fourth inning, when
     their budding superstar Reggie Jackson connected for a home run with one man on, giving Oakland
     a 2-0 lead. The Tigers’ Norm Cash answered in the bottom of the fourth with a three-run home run
     to put the Tigers up 3-2, but Oakland tied it up in the fifth when shortstop Bert Campaneris singled
     in a run, and took the lead 4-3 in the sixth when Jackson again sent one into the stands. McLain
     remained determined to go home with the win, however, and he hung in the game until the bottom
     of the ninth, when he was pulled for pinch-hitter Al Kaline with his team still trailing by one.

     The move turned out to be a good one for McLain: Kaline was walked, and with one out, Mickey Stanley
     singled up the middle, sending Kaline to third. Next up was Jim Northrup, who hit a bouncing ball up
     the first base line to A’s first baseman Danny Cater, as Kaline raced toward home. Cater’s throw
     sailed high over home plate, and Kaline was safe, tying the game at 4-4. With the home crowd at
     Tigers Stadium cheering him on, Willie Horton came to the plate and, with the count at 2-2,
     sent the ball to deep left out of A’s left fielder Jim Gosger’s reach for the winning run to
     give McLain his historic 30th win.

     McClain won the American League Cy Young Award in 1968 and again in 1969, before being
     suspended at the beginning of the 1970 season on suspicion of gambling. His career in the
     majors officially ended in 1972. McLain served prison time for federal racketeering in the
     mid-eighties, and again a decade later for money laundering.

490. September 13, 1996
     ===============
     Hip hop star Tupac Shakur died on September 13, 1996 of gunshot
     wounds suffered in a Las Vegas drive-by shooting.

     Many years after his death on this day in 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur remains one of the most recognizable faces and voices in hip-hop. A steady stream of posthumous album releases has kept his name near the top of lifetime sales rankings, and artistic efforts like the 2003 film Tupac: Resurrection have kept his image and music current among fans who were far too young to have seen and heard him perform while he was still alive. His recording career came to an end with his death at the age of 25, but like another famous rapper with whom his story is intertwined, Shakur has only grown in stature with each passing year since his still-unsolved murder.

     The story of Shakur’s death on September 13, 1996, began with a failed attempt on his life two years earlier. On November 30, 1994, Tupac Shakur was shot and seriously wounded during a robbery committed by two armed men in the lobby of a midtown Manhattan office building that housed a recording studio where he’d been working on his third album, Me Against the World (1995). For reasons that have been detailed obsessively in works such as Nick Broomfield’s 2002 documentary Biggie and Tupac, Shakur blamed the attack on producer Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs and rival rapper Christopher Wallace — a.k.a. “The Notorious B.I.G.” Shakur’s charges, and his subsequent move to the L.A.-based record label Death Row Records, sparked the so-called “East Coast vs. West Coast” feud that defined the hip-hop scene through the mid-1990s.

     In Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, for the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon boxing match, Shakur and others in his entourage were captured on tape in the lobby of the MGM Grand hotel engaging in a violent scuffle with a man later identified as a member of the Los Angeles-based Bloods street gang. Hours later, Shakur was riding as a passenger in a car driven by Death Row Records head Marian “Suge” Knight when a white Cadillac pulled up alongside them at a stoplight on Flamingo Road and opened fire. At least 12 shots were fired, four of which struck Shakur and one of which grazed the head of Suge Knight. Emergency surgery at University Medical Center saved Shakur’s life that night, and in the days following, doctors announced that his chances of recovery had improved. On September 13, 1996. however, Tupac Shakur died of his wounds.

     Six months later, Shakur’s rap rival, Christopher Wallace, was murdered in similar
     circumstances in Los Angeles. No arrest has been made to date in connection with either murder.

491. After reading some of my posts lately I really do need a proof reader and someone to edit, Used to get an “A” in spelling without an I pad or whatever. Cant leave this hanging like this, so a quote on my note pad is as follows. “Body is just an illusion.. It is the soul that matters. Invest in your soul, the body will follow.

492. September 13, 1936
     ===============
     On this day in 1936, 17-year-old Cleveland Indians pitching ace “Rapid” Robert Feller struck
     out 17 batters in a game, setting a new American League record. Feller allowed just two hits
     in the game to help his team to a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia A’s.

     Feller was born November 3, 1918, in Van Meter, Iowa. An only child, he spent his days pitching against
     the side of a barn on his family’s farm. At just 16 years old, in July 1935, Feller signed with Cy Slapnicka,
     a Cleveland Indian scout, in exchange for an autographed baseball and one dollar. On August 25, 1936,
     when he was still only 17, Feller made his first start, striking out 15 St. Louis Browns with a blazing
     fastball and knee-buckling curveball that would be the hallmarks of his long and storied career.

     On September 13, Feller started the first game of a double-header against the Philadelphia A’s at
     League Park in Cleveland. The young pitcher’s fastball was effective from the start and he was
     soon racking up strikes at a pace unseen in the American League since Rube Waddell of the
     St. Louis Browns struck out 16 batters in 1908. Feller’s 17 strikeouts that day tied Dizzy
     Dean’s modern major league record, set in 1933. Two years later, on the last day of
     the 1938 season, Feller broke Dean’s record when he struck out 18 Detroit Tigers,
     setting a modern record that would stand for 31 years. (It was finally broken in
     1969 by St. Louis Cardinals’ pitcher, Steve Carlton.

     Bob Feller retired from baseball after the 1956 season having won more games than any pitcher
     in Cleveland Indians history. His numbers would, no doubt, have been even more impressive if
     not for the four seasons he spent in the Navy during World War II, where he earned eight battle
     stars. In 1957 his jersey number, 19, was the first to be retired by the Indians. He was elected to
     the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962, the only pitcher since Walter Johnson to be so honored in his
     first year of eligibility. His lifetime record of 266-162 includes three no-hitters (1940, 1946 and 1951).

493. September 12, 1944
     ===============
     Born in Galveston, Texas, on this day in 1944, Barry White – or “the Maestro” – went
     on to stunningly successful career as a pop singer that spanned five decades, and
     made him a star of the disco era.

     It took some pushing to get future sex symbol Barry White out into the spotlight where he
     could work his seductive magic. The path he originally chose to follow in the music business
     was as an A&R man — a behind-the-scenes player in the “Artists and Repertoire” department
     of various independent labels in 1960s Los Angeles. White’s job was to spot talent and to act
     as a liaison between record labels and the artists he was charged with developing, and it was
     in this capacity that he discovered a female vocal trio he named Love Unlimited. Not only
     would Barry White marry one of its members, but he would write, produce and arrange a
     major hit for them in “Walking in the Rain (With The One I Love)” (1972). And when White
     finally stepped out into the spotlight as a performer himself — at the insistence of his
     record label – Love Unlimited would become the backup vocalists on his string of 1970s
     soul classics.

     Having written several new songs and recorded his vocals for demo purposes only, White was
     surprised and reluctant when 20th Century Records pushed him to release the songs under
     his own name. When he finally did so in 1973, he quickly established himself as a star. From 1973
     to 1977, sometimes under his own name and sometimes under the name Love Unlimited
     Orchestra, White recorded a string of steamy soul classics that featured his rumbling bass voice
     speaking and singing over lush orchestral arrangements of subject matter clearly expressed in
     his song titles alone: “Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love, Babe”; “Your Sweetness Is My Weakness”;
     “It’s Ecstasy When You Lay Down Next To Me”; and “I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little More, Baby.”

494. September 11, 1985
     ===============
     On this day in 1985, Cincinnati Reds player-manager Pete Rose got the 4,192nd hit of
     his career – breaking Ty Cobb’s major league record for career hits. Rose was a folk hero
     in Cincinnati, a homegrown talent known as “Charlie Hustle” for his relentless work ethic.

     Pete Rose was just 5 feet 10 inches tall and 140 pounds when he graduated from Cincinnati’s Western
     Hills High School. Despite his slight build, the switch-hitter was drafted by the Reds in 1960.
     Determined to improve after an unremarkable debut season in the minors, Rose
     committed to an intense weight-lifting regimen, long before such training
     became de rigueur in baseball. By the time he reached the majors, Rose
     was 5’ 11″ and 205 pounds of muscle, with 27-inch thighs. In 1963,
     he hit .273 and scored 101 runs and was named Rookie of the Year.
     Rose went on to hit .312 in 1965, and then over .300 in 15 of the next 17 seasons,
     leading the National League in hitting three times. On “The Big Red Machine,” as the
     impressive Reds teams of the 1970s were called, Rose was the spark plug, leading the team to
     back-to-back World Series victories in 1975 and 1976. Rose signed with the Philadelphia Phillies as
     a free agent in 1979, then led the Phillies to the first World Series championship in their 97-year history
     in 1980. On August 10, 1981, Rose broke Stan Musial’s career record for hits as a National Leaguer when he
     collected his 3,631st hit.

     In 1984, Rose returned to the Reds after a stint with the Montreal Expos. On September 8, 1985,
     he tied Cobb’s 57-year-old record for career hits (4,191) with two hits against the Chicago Cubs.
     Three days later on September 11, Rose came to the plate in the first inning of a game against
     the San Diego Padres in front of a home crowd at Cincinnati’s Riverfront Stadium.Rose watched
     the first pitch to gauge pitcher Eric Show’s speed, fouled off the second pitch and then laid off
     the third pitch. With the count at 2-1, Rose lined a hanging slider into left-center field for a single.
     The Reds rushed out of the dugout to surround the new hits king and Rose’s longtime teammate
     Tony Perez lifted him in the air in celebration. The Cincinnati crowd of 47,237 stood and
     applauded for a full seven minutes as their hometown hero wiped tears from his eyes.
     (Show started to take warm-up tosses with the catcher during the tribute, and then
     sat down on the mound to wait, a move many in baseball found inappropriate.)

     Pete Rose retired as a player during the 1986 season, but remained in his position as Reds manager
     until August 24, 1989, when he was banned from baseball for life for gambling on Reds games.

495. September 11, 2001
     ===============
     At 8:45 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. As the evacuation of the tower and its twin got underway, television cameras broadcasted live images of what initially appeared to be a freak accident. Then, 18 minutes after the first plane hit, a second Boeing 767 – United Airlines Flight 175 – appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center, and sliced into the south tower at about the 60th floor. The collision caused a massive explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and the streets below. America was under attack.

     The attackers were Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations. Reportedly financed by Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda terrorist organization, they were allegedly acting in retaliation for America’s support of Israel, its involvement in the Persian Gulf War, and its continued military presence in the Middle East. Some of the terrorists had lived in the United States for more than a year and had taken flying lessons at American commercial flight schools. Others had slipped into the U.S. in the months before September 11 and acted as the “muscle” in the operation. The 19 terrorists easily smuggled box-cutters and knives through security at three East Coast airports and boarded four flights bound for California, chosen because the planes were loaded with fuel for the long transcontinental journey. Soon after takeoff, the terrorists commandeered the four planes and took the controls, transforming the ordinary commuter jets into guided missiles.

     As millions watched in horror the events unfolding in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 circled over downtown Washington and slammed into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 a.m. Jet fuel from the Boeing 757 caused a devastating inferno that led to a structural collapse of a portion of the giant concrete building. All told, 125 military personnel and civilians were killed in the Pentagon along with all 64 people aboard the airliner.

     Less than 15 minutes after the terrorists struck the nerve center of the U.S. military, the horror in New York took a catastrophic turn for the worse when the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed in a massive cloud of dust and smoke. The structural steel of the skyscraper, built to withstand winds in excess of 200 mph and a large conventional fire, could not withstand the tremendous heat generated by the burning jet fuel. At 10:30 a.m., the other Trade Center tower collapsed. Close to 3,000 people died in the World Trade Center and its vicinity, including a staggering 343 firefighters and paramedics, 23 New York City police officers, and 37 Port Authority police officers who were struggling to complete an evacuation of the buildings and save the office workers trapped on higher floors. Only six people in the World Trade Center towers at the time of their collapse survived. Almost 10,000 other people were treated for injuries, many severe.

     Meanwhile, a fourth California-bound plane – United Flight 93 –was hijacked about 40 minutes after leaving Newark International Airport in New Jersey. Because the plane had been delayed in taking off, passengers on board learned of events in New York and Washington via cell phone and Airfone calls to the ground. Knowing that the aircraft was not returning to an airport as the hijackers claimed, a group of passengers and flight attendants planned an insurrection. One of the passengers, Thomas Burnett, Jr., told his wife over the phone that “I know we’re all going to die. There’s three of us who are going to do something about it. I love you, honey.” Another passenger–Todd Beamer–was heard saying “Are you guys ready? Let’s roll” over an open line. Sandy Bradshaw, a flight attendant, called her husband and explained that she had slipped into a galley and was filling pitchers with boiling water. Her last words to him were “Everyone’s running to first class. I’ve got to go. Bye.”

     The passengers fought the four hijackers and are suspected to have attacked the cockpit with a fire extinguisher. The plane then flipped over and sped toward the ground at upwards of 500 miles per hour, crashing in a rural field in western Pennsylvania at 10:10 a.m. All 45 people aboard were killed. Its intended target is not known, but theories include the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, or one of several nuclear power plants along the eastern seaboard.

     At 7 p.m., President George W. Bush, who had spent the day being shuttled around the country because of security concerns, returned to the White House. At 9 p.m., he delivered a televised address from the Oval Office, declaring “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.” In a reference to the eventual U.S. military response he declared: “We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.”

     Operation Enduring Freedom, the US-led international effort to oust the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and destroy Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network based there, began on October 7, 2001. Bin Laden was killed during a raid of his compound in Pakistan by U.S. forces on May 2, 2011.

496. September 10, 1991
     ===============
     You either had to be part of a fairly small subculture of music fans or a professional on the
     business side of the music industry to have heard of Nirvana before the autumn of 1991.
     To the few who followed their particular brand of alternative music before “alternative”
     went mainstream, Nirvana had announced themselves as a band to watch with their
     independently produced 1989 album Bleach. And to the music-business pros who knew
     that Bleach sold 30,000 copies after being produced for only $600, Nirvana was seen as a
     prime candidate for a breakout with their second album being released by the major label
     Geffen Records. But absolutely no one — not Nirvana’s biggest fans, not their biggest
     industry supporters and certainly not the band-members themselves — suspected the
     magnitude of what was about to happen. In just a few short months, a group that was a
     complete nonentity to the mainstream music-buying public would become the most
     important rock band on earth. The transformation began on this day in 1991, with the
     release of Nirvana’s landmark single, “Smells Like Teen Spirit.”

     The song Nirvana’s label and management hoped would be a hit off the band’s forthcoming album,
     Nevermind, was “Come as You Are,” which was set for release later in the fall. “Smells Like
     Teen Spirit” was released quietly and without significant promotion in the hopes
     that it would begin building awareness of the new album among listeners to
     college and alternative radio. “None of us heard it as a crossover song,”
     Nirvana’s manager, Danny Goldberg, later recalled, “but the public
     heard it and it was instantaneous. They heard it on alternative
     radio and then they rushed out like lemmings to buy it.”

     Kurt Cobain, Nirvana’s guitarist, lead singer and primary songwriter, had to be talked into
     even including “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on Nevermind by his bandmates – bassist Krist
     Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl. He was self-conscious about a song he’d written as a
     conscious rip-off of the Pixies’ hard-and-loud, then soft-and-quiet style. But most of the
     millions who would soon become Nirvana fans had probably never heard of The Pixies or
     the other punk, hardcore and alternative bands that had inspired and influenced Kurt Cobain.
     He was the product of an underground scene far outside the pop-music mainstream, but
     his gift for channeling the noise and anger of that scene into brilliantly accessible songs
     like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” ended up redefining the mainstream itself.
     =============

497. Sunday, Sept. 17, 2017…. Good morning . Rose early with the dawn. My very favorite time of the day. It was an almost surreal scene as the darkness faded into various shades of blues, pinks, and finally oranges showing the sights of long white strands of fog and mist lying over the landscape resembling the images we see of Saturn with its rings. (or in a more realistic view lately that looks like chem-trails but on the ground.) My time to reflect in the sound of silence. Summit starts this week. I said as late as Friday to my cardiologist, “Doc, should I go to Newark this week? and his only comment was “Only if you take an ENT specialist along with you.” They continue to tell me that because of the internal bleeding problem from the Plavix, Aspirin , and several blood thinners to prevent clogging, I have a 10(, 15 minute max) time limit on my life that holds my otherwise free spirit hostage. So today I want to talk about a subject that completely fascinates me which is Synchronicity , AGAIN! I know it works, and it works much better if you use mind muscle to improve and fine tune it, and it can be developed with awesome results assuming the subjects you work with have a fully conscious mind. I may have posted this before, but here goes again. Here’s hoping I didn’t steal this from my friend Judith! If so, I apologize .
     SYNCHRONICITY : There are no coincidences and accidents. There is only synchronicity which happens for a reason. Have you ever stumbled upon an old friend? Seeing someone doing the same thing or speaking the same words as you? Or maybe experienced an accident? Are you thinking “Oh, what a coincidence “, or I could skip coincidences like this”…. Well you shouldn’t because every single coincident brings a message to you. Revealing Synchronicity — The science behind coincidence… The truth is everything in our life is linked. From the past, to the present and future–every single coincidence or accident we stumble upon is linked, no matter small or big of a moment it is! Its all about synchronicity . Every action you make creates a ripple in the universe. You unconsciously telegraph your thoughts to others. It is the Law of Unity. We are all linked– there is no separation between you and anyone or anything. WE ARE ALL CONNECTED. There are no accidents, no coincidences, every coincidence has a message for you , whether you feel like your having a perfect day and everything goes smoothly, or you experience a lot coincidences happen! The Universe is sending you a message. People and things happening in the EXACT moment is but synchronicity and fortunately there’s a way to accept it. Do you know the saying “when the student is ready, the master appears”? —– THAT IS EXACTLY how synchronicity is explained. Whenever you are synchronized with something you truly want you are more likely to meet that thing, which is why similar people meet “accidently”. The thing is, they are tuned into the exact same frequency and synchronicity does it’s best to match them. Synchronicity is just like a mirror and whatever you COMMIT and BELIEVE in will reflect back to you, so in a nutshell, understanding synchronicity translates to establishing harmony in everything that you seek– and being “consciously aware” of everything that is happening around you. Carl Jung said “Synchronicity is an ever present reality for those who have eyes to see” Boy, that was ALOT of synchronicities and coincidences! If I don’t know how to spell them by now, I never will. Thanks for reading, and remember it’s okay to be a bit selfish, but spread and share the love.

498. I have seen the enemy and it is us! The photo on the screen at first glance was gorgeous and even made you want to smile until the full impact hit you. A pic of a tiny sea horse with it’s tale wrapped around a pink plastic cotton swab, and even though the photographer Justin Hofman’s photo got him nominated for wildlife photographer of the year, he wishes it didn’t exist. That photo highlights how plastic pollution has left virtually no corner of our world untouched……… ” I wish we didn’t have to see this beautiful wild life mixed in with all of our waste, I travel all over the world, and I can’t think of a single place where people haven’t impacted the environment.” ……More than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each and every year, and some estimates show that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish…… Hofman snapped the photo while snorkeling near Subawa Island , Indonesia last year. Recent pics and articles have appeared on FB and other articles saying some companies are testing different ways of disposing of this product, such as road way surfaces etc, but until then, we are responsible for destroying our world.

499. Week-end is here again! The decision has been made to continue posting on this Wiki page as long as we are allowed to do so. A little prodding from one of my closest Neo-Think friends also had some bearing on it. One of my most loved FNE’s is indeed writing, researching, passing on positive and valuable information relative to todays mode of living, along with a little bit of humor and some local down home life. I am aware that all news is not all positive in these chaotic and uncertain times we continue to share with the other 99 % of the bicameral population. As most of you all know due to problems with failing health, I am feeling inadequate in my dedication and contributions in 2017 thus far, and I would like to believe this outlet for my feelings and emotions makes me a tiny bit more like a value creator, so thanks for reading this. Our site could surely use others to volunteer and share their thoughts and ideas with us. You might be amazed at finding yourself developing some wonderful and like-minded friends along the way. So now, forward to 15,000? , and a big ole rebel yell! (before some one determines that it is racist and wants it wiped from our cowboy vocabulary.) Aye ? to you folks up north! No discrimination here. Love you guys.

500. HEY, JUDITH, WAYNE, AND PETE, I JUST FINISHED READING YOUR MOST RECENT POSTS, AND i MUST SAY THAT i AM VERY MUCH IMPRESSED BY WHAT ALL OF YOU HAVE SHARED.

     JUDITH, — I HAVE “WONDERED” WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING — FOR SUCH A LONG TIME!! PETE HAS BEEN THE MOST ACTIVE POSTER ON THIS SITE, AND WAYNE HAS FOLLOWED RIGHT BEHIND HIM. I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE “THIRD PLACE” AS A POSTER HERE. MY REASON HAS BEEN — THAT IT SEEMED THAT “NO ONE” WAS WRITING ABOUT SUBJECTS WITH WHICH I HAVE BEEN FAMILIAR. AS A RESULT, — IT SEEMED TO ME THAT EVERYONE BUT YOU, WAYNE, PETE, AND MYSELF HAVE FOUND SOMETHING ELSE WITH WHICH TO SPEND THEIR TIME. ON ONE OF THE MENTOR CALLS I ATTENDED, I MADE A COMMENT TO STEVE (DIGGER) ABOUT THIS, AND HE AGREED WITH ME — THAT NEARLY EVERYONE HAD STOPPED POSTING ON THE WIKIPEDIA SITE.

     I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH ENTOYA THROUGH MUTUAL EMAIL ADDRESSES, AND WE HAVE WRITTEN TO EACH OTHER ABOUT A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS.

     CAROL AND I HAVE BEEN “EXTREMELY” BUSY WITH MORE “APPOINTMENTS” THAN I HAVE EVER WANTED TO DEAL WITH, AND IT TAKES “WAY TOO MUCH” OF OUR TIME.

     STEVE (DIGGER) AND i HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH EACH OTHER ABOUT STEPPING UP AND BEING A PRESENTER ON THE CALLS, AND i HAVE TOLD HIM THAT i AM “NOT AFRAID TO BE A SPEAKER ON THE CALLS, BUT I “MISTAKENLY BELIEVED” THAT I NEEDED TO “WAIT” TO BE “CALLED” BY HIM — TO PRESENT INFORMATION ON THE CALLS. THAT IDEA HAS BEEN DELETED FROM MY MIND AFTER SPEAKING WITH HIM ON THE PHONE.

     I WILL BE WRITING TO ALL THREE OF YOU PERSONALLY VIA THE “REACH OUT” PROGRAM THAT CHARLIE MOORE HAS PUT TOGETHER FOR US, — SO BE WATCHING YOUR EMAILS –TO READ MY MESSAGES TO YOU.

     WITH NEO-THINKERS LOVE,

     CAROL AND FOREST
