    It's too vast to cover... I am not trying to convert anyone to anything...just an of interest // With anything there is a lot of dirt to dig before one finds any gems... Imagine if we threw away all spiritual thought/ practice because of a few... whatever. I think... I could post statistics from every country? I don't have the time or will for it though ha. I did look into my own country AUS and found similar. Peace

    Research Precognition Other than the desire / I am unsure how to train such things... Perhaps meditation / concentration etc and feeling probably similar to DĂ©jĂ  vu The Matrix Reloaded (2003) The Oracle: [to Neo] We are all here to do what we are all here to do... The Oracle: Do you see her die? Neo: No. The Oracle: You have the sight now, Neo. You are looking at the world without time. Neo: Then why can't I see what happens to her? The Oracle: We can never see past the choices we don't understand. Neo: Are you saying I have to choose whether Trinity lives or dies? The Oracle: No, you've already made the choice. Now you have to understand it. Neo: No. I can't do that. I won't. The Oracle: Well, you have to. Neo: Why? The Oracle: Because you're the One. Neo: But if you already know, how can I make a choice? The Oracle: Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. You're here to try to understand *why* you made it. I thought you'd have figured that out by now.

  9. Beginner's [REAL] Magick: Instruction Q&A

    Could I bring peoples attention to the inverted man displayed by DNB? For a person versed in symbolism - I doubt this is by accident. So DNB seeks the culling/destruction of Humanity? It's Nature's Way of Culling... This is not natures way... Let us not forgot too, that Humanity is one of Nature, an expression of the Divine. Surely, if this Was NOT Suppose to Happen... it would NOT have Happened. This is also untrue As we have Free Will... There is a darkness that has kept humanity oppressed, deceived/ misguided (in the shadows)... for some time now From developing to our fullest potential... This has not been the Will of any true God Just the will of a few psychopaths who only seek more power / control , at any cost. The uprisings are humanity waking up to this fact. The uprisings are humanities desire to be free. The wars are not by Divine Decree, they have all been fabricated by psychopaths (without humanity... no empathy / they can not be defined as human) This is not prophecy... this is manipulation The plan is an old one... It's nothing more than the attempt to fulfill what they have planned Just as I say... Tomorrow I will do this... and I do it. Though few make plans for tomorrow this maleficus group plans decades or even centuries ahead. I tell you, without this shadow All humanity would be living in Paradise. Do not be lead astray Follow your Heart! follow your Humanity!

    Yes // I will second the artificial/diet substitutes ASPARTAME was one mentioned... there are a number though. Best to avoid packaged food... when one can. I do believe ones diet can make the path / life much easier and much more pleasant. If your in a state of depression caused by chemicals you have consumed... meditation etc becomes less fruitful I imagine... unless one learns to overcome these things through intent/will etc The Taoists of the past seemed to put strong emphasis regarding what one should consume. So perhaps make it an additional part of ones spiritual practice... if one needs more reason as to why.
  12. How I unintentionally moved a pebble.

    There was a documentary called: super psychic children of china... that was pretty good from memory / a few years back I was looking into it whether real or not I don't know // just found it curious I can't find it on YouTube at present... although the name ^^ must be popular because it preloads http://www.spiritofm.../oct1/pdong.htm by Thomas E. Rafill co-author with Paul Dong of China's Super Psychics In The Four Major Mysteries of Mainland China (Prentice-Hall, 1984, now out of print) and China's Super Psychics (Marlowe, 1997), Paul Dong examined China's activities in the field of psychic children during the 1980s. This year, China Books has published his China's Major Mysteries, an updated look at the same field as The Four Major Mysteries of Mainland China. In this article I briefly review a few of the new developments in China in psychic research. "Seeing" Without Eyes Research continued throughout the period in the field of training psychic abilities in children. In March, 1992, seven Hangzhou University researchers did a six-month experimental study of training schoolchildren to ''read with the ear'' (develop visual perception through body parts other than the eye). This project, led by Tian Weishun and Zhu Huizhong, involved 1222 students from elementary through high school, of which 623 were boys and 599 were girls. The training method involved introducing the concept of reading with the ear and instructing them to clear their heads and concentrate. They then checked the children's abilities in tests proctored by their schoolteachers. Their results were that 12.35 percent of children aged seven to thirteen had the power, but only one female aged 17 had the power among the students from ages 14 to 18. The best age for training the ability was found to be nine, at which age the success rate was around 20 percent. We cite the Chinese source My Research on EHF by Prof. Tang Jianmin. He also mentions a similar experimental study by Xu Baoyi of China's Bangbu Medical Institute. This study worked with 1388 teenagers and found that 180 of them were able to see without their eyes. The largest number of successful subjects was found at age 12, while the fewest were over 16. A report by Shao Laisheng and the well-known Zhu Yiyi (editor for China's Nature Magazine) described work in training young adults aged 18 to 20. They found it was still possible to train them, but they had greater success with less educated working people than with university students. They hypothesize that the university students are busier and less able to achieve the relaxation and concentration required for successful psychic training. One group that has continued working on research in training psychic children is the ''Human Body Informatics'' group in the electrical engineering department of Shanghai's Fudan University. In experiments from 1986 to 1993, they trained 46 children (18 male, 28 female). They reported that almost all of the children developed both extrasensory perception and psychokinetic abilities. However, the subjects suffered from dizziness, head throbbing and fatigue when exercising these abilities. X-Ray Vision Studies A popular research target in the 1990s has been see-through vision. This has a good application as a tool for medical diagnosis. Xinjiang People's Liberation Army Hospital did 117 tests of children's abilities to perform such medical diagnoses. In 22 cases of examining for diseases in the head, the children were correct 17 times, partly correct four times and wrong one time. In 53 cases examining the liver, the results were: 43 correct, 5 partly correct, four wrong, and one couldn't see clearly. In 19 trials of viewing fetal position, they were correct 16 times and wrong 3 times. These results were reported in ''Preliminary Investigation of Modern Medical Verification of EHF'' by Yang Junpeng, assistant director of the hospital. Professor Tang Jianmin published an interesting study of the factors contributing to see-through vision. He reviews the known results that the power is prevalent more in females than in males, more in youths than adults, more in rural areas than in cities, more among American children than Chinese children, and more among Chinese adults than American adults. He hypothesizes that the development of see-through vision is affected by the same factors that affect ordinary vision: relaxation, and spending less time on activities that focus the vision strongly like reading, watching television, driving, and doing stressful work. This theory could explain some of the differences observed. For example, children in China spend more time reading and studying than children in America, so this could affect both their vision and their see-through vision. Chinese Government Shifts Stance As the 1990s drew to a close, psychic research became a center of controversy, as many masters of chi gong meditation promoted their practices as a path to mysterious spiritual powers. The Chinese government took a negative view of some of these activities, especially those that rejected the use of conventional medicine. In 1999, the Chinese government banned one of these chi gong practices, Falun Gong, and issued an arrest warrant for its leader, Li Hongzhi, who has been living in New York. Many newspaper and magazine articles in China attacked their mysterious beliefs as superstition. However, psychic research in a scientific framework has continued to receive the support of the Chinese government. Paul Dong discusses this issue in our forthcoming book The Allure of Falun Gong (Welcome Rain Publishers). It is noteworthy that in the 1980s, many high-ranking Chinese government officials supported psychic research, but today most of these have been replaced by a new generation of leaders who have shown that either they aren't familiar with the research or they don't believe in it. Thus, the future of psychic research in China is uncertain, although the work continues today in many institutes in the country.
  13. How I unintentionally moved a pebble.

    Do you feel it was you or something else that moved it? Apparently some kids are now being born with such abilities? I think these powers are inherent in all... they just need to be re cognized and trained like anything if you want to be good at it

  15. Sugar and Not So Sweet Dreams

    Sugar is a “toxin” that is killing the unwitting masses, according to an April 1, “60 Minutes” hosted by CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Gupta and all of the medical experts that he interviewed argued that sugar leads to heart disease, cancer (by leading to the creation of insulin, which cancer cells use to trigger their growth), and that sugar can actually be compared to certain drugs, like “cocaine,” in that it triggers the pleasure centers in the brain. “New research coming out of some of America’s most respected institutions is starting to find that sugar, the way many people are eating it today, is a toxin,” Gupta said at the start of the segment. Dr. Robert H. Lustig, MD, University of California San Francisco Professor of Pediatrics, was the primary expert in piece. Lustig told Gupta that he believes sugar should be treated the same way as tobacco and alcohol, substances which are still legal, but regulated. “Ultimately, this is a public health crisis, and when there’s a public health crisis you have to do big things and you have to do them across the board. Tobacco and alcohol are perfect examples 
 I think that sugar belongs in this exact same wastebasket,” said Lustig. http://www.mrc.org/node/39736 Home > Food & Information > Sugar and Cocaine Sugar and Cocaine Probably the Biggest Contributor to Death and Disease in the West. This may seem like a strange starting point but keep reading and you will understand. Cocaine Cocaine is a drug (paste) extracted from the leaves of the South American coca plant. It is a strong stimulate that effects the body’s central nervous system. Short-Term Cocaine Effects Mental alertness Dilated pupils Constricted vessels Decreased appetite Increased blood pressure Increased temperature Increased heart rate Increased energy Long-Term Cocaine Effects Addiction Irritability Restlessness Mood Disturbances Paranoia Auditory Hallucinations Cocaine is one of the most addictive drugs out there. It therefore has correspondingly intense effects on the body – and on the mind. One of reasons that cocaine is so dangerous and addictive is because it actually changes the way the brain functions. Cocaine is an extremely addictive drug , with crack (the smoked version) being the most highly addictive drug on the illegal market.http://www.cocaineabuse.us/effects.html Let us look further at the makeup of things and see where it goes. Molecules A group of atoms bonded together representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction. 2 Hydrogen molecules and 1 Oxygen molecule bonded together = H2O = Water. This is how chemicals are made up. Sugar It has 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, 11 oxygen atoms, and absolutely nothing else to offer. The chemical formula for cocaine is C17H21NO4. Sugar’s formula again is C12H22O11. For all practical purposes, the difference is that sugar is missing the “N”, or nitrogen atom. In fact Sugar and Cocaine are highly similar on a molecular level and so have similar effects on the mind and body. The Process Refining means to make “pure” by a process of extraction or separation. In the process of making sugar from both cane and beets, they are heated and calcium hydroxide (lime), which is a toxin to the body, is added. This is done to remove those ingredients that interfere with the complete processing of sugar. Carbon dioxide, which is another toxin, is then used to remove the lime (and according to my studies, not all is removed). Researchers recently determined that refined sugar is actually more addictive than cocaine. In a recent study rats were given a choice between sugar water and cocaine, and 94% them chose sugar. Even the rats that had previously been addicted to cocaine switched to the sugar once it was a choice. No wonder it’s so hard to give up that 3 pack of M&M’s, it’s more addictive than illegal drugs. http://www.slashfood.com/2007/08/27/sug ... n-cocaine/ White refined sugar is not a food. It is a pure chemical extracted from plant sources, purer in fact than cocaine, which it resembles in many ways. The sugar turns from a sticky black substance to a clear juice which is heated to remove other impurities. And if that’s not enough, the sugar is then bleached white with a chemical solution that uses pork by-products (blood albumin and/or animal charcoal). The sugar is processed at least three times before it’s in the form that we would normally use and by that time it no longer resembles a food and is now a drug and an artificial substance. ‱http://askville.amazon.com/refined-sugar-made-white-added-make/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=8464011 DID YOU GET THAT? YES PORK IS IN OUR SUGAR. PORK ENZYMES ARE USED TO HELP SUGAR CRYSTALLISE! After the crystals condense, they are bleached snow-white usually by the use of pork or cattle bones. During the refining process, 64 food elements are destroyed. All the potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, manganese, phosphate, and sulfate are removed. The A, D, and B, vitamins are destroyed. Amino acids, vital enzymes, unsaturated fats, and all fiber are gone. 100g of sugar has been found to stop immune cell production and function for up to 5 hours Sugar Addiction Researchers at Princeton University studying bingeing and dependency in rats have found that when the animals ingest large amounts of sugar, their brains undergo changes similar to the changes in the brains of people who abuse illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin. Studies show that “sugar” is just as habit-forming as any narcotic; and its use, misuse, and abuse is our nation’s (USA) number one disaster. We’ve known for years that sugar isn’t good for us. It promotes tooth decay, provides quick highs and lows and offers nothing but empty, nutritionless calories that pack on the pounds. However, it appears that it is even worse than we previously thought. The chemicals used in sugar processing (phosphoric acid, acid calcium phosphate and others) are potent and health-debilitating. Sugar has a tremendous amount of carbonic acid which disturbs the nutritional balance in the body. Sugar robs the body of almost all nutrients, especially the minerals chromium, zinc and calcium, and vitamins C and B-complex. Chromium is also deficient in diabetics, a mineral which reduces blood sugar levels. And so when we get sick we turn to still worse forms of sweetener which are all proven to cause a wide range of other health effects. This is due to our not wanting to change our habits but change the form. There is always a consequence to such actions. The result is always more or another kind of disease. It would be better to change your habits completely in line with Gods plan. Using sweeteners which contains ASPARTAME leads to some of the following: Fibromylagia symptoms Spasms Shooting pains Cramps Vertigo Numbness in the legs Dizziness Headaches Tinnitus Joint pain Depression Anxiety attacks Slurred speech Blurred vision Blindness Memory loss. http://theoriginalplan.org/?page_id=788

  23. How I unintentionally moved a pebble.

    not sure thanks for sharing though interesting Psychokinesis (from the Greek ÏˆÏ…Ï‡Îź, "psyche", meaning mind, soul, heart, or breath; and ÎșÎŻÎœÎ·ÏƒÎčς, "kinesis", meaning motion, movement; literally "mind-movement"),[1][2] also referred to as telekinesis[3] (Greek Ï„áż†Î»Î” + ÎșÎŻÎœÎ·ÏƒÎčς, literally "distant-movement") with respect to strictly describing movement of matter, abbreviated as PK and TK respectively, is a term coined by publisher Henry Holt[4] to refer to the direct influence of mind on a physical system that cannot be entirely accounted for by the mediation of any known physical energy.[5] Examples of psychokinesis could include distorting or moving an object,[6] and influencing the output of a random number generator.[5][7][8] The study of phenomena said to be psychokinetic is part of parapsychology. Some psychokinesis researchers claim psychokinesis exists and deserves further study, although the focus of research has shifted away from large-scale phenomena to attempts to influence dice and then to random number generators.
