Many people do not make the connection that chemically based insect repellents that you put on your skin are the same as pesticides.

Most insect repellents on the market are loaded with toxic chemicals, including DEET, which is so poisonous that even the Environmental Protection Agency says you should wash it off your skin when you return indoors, avoid breathing it in and not spray it directly on your face.

Fields of Gold

Song by Eva Cassidy


Lyrics

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Among the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me? Will you be my love
Among the fields of barley?
And you can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Ooh
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
As you lie in fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Among the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold, ooh

“Some of the kindest souls I know have lived in a world that was not so kind to them. Some of the best human beings I know have been through so much at the hands of others, and they still love deeply, they still care.

Sometimes it's the people who have been hurt the most, who refuse to be hardened in this world, because they would never want to make another person feel the same way they themselves have felt.

Update on post #54255 (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=1629073&viewfull=1#post1629073):

This was on Thursday evening (15 August). My Dad had a fall at 03:00 AEST Friday morning and was taken to hospital for observation. I’ve just returned from visiting him. He’s okay, just a little bit disoriented.

He doesn’t yet know that Helen (pictured in the above post) passed away at 08:05 on Friday. I’ve elected not to tell him that news right now - I want him to recover and get out of hospital as quickly as possible. When he’s discharged, I’ll break the news to him. Although, I fear it may devastate him.

Before I left the hospital, my Dad whispered in my ear and told me to keep the family legacy going. Ouch. He already knows…

So, forgive me in advance if I’m not as vocal or engaged in the forum as much as I’d like to be. My logins will be infrequent for a while. I’m going to need to do a lot of travelling back and forth from Upper Barron to Cairns (which means I need to hand over the reigns of managing the farm solely to my partner for a short while).

This song springs to mind; one of Dad’s favourites (although he’ll never admit it!):

UPDATE: I’ve rattled on and on so. Here’s the shortened version.

RE: Family

I’m challenged with family to find the balance between share info vs negatively program, or falsely program because I don’t know, what I don’t know. I struggled with how much to share. Some are questioning. I’m encouraged by their strides towards health related topics. It’s further evidence of how able and courageous humanity is to step into this evolutionary change.

Electroculture




A simple method of applying atmospheric energy to significantly increase plant growth.

The basic materials are copper wire (and/or magnets), to revitalize the soil and increase yields by 100-300%. It also eliminates the need for fertilizers and pesticides.

Electroculture has many advantages, all of which were openly advertised a hundred years ago. All of these benefits can be found even with the simplest modern methods of using copper wire as an antenna.

One common method of modern electroculture is the "spiral antenna," a simple copper wire that is stuck into the soil. This copper wire acts as an antenna, collecting atmospheric energy and directing it into the soil. This method is accomplished with low energy inputs. All necessary items can be purchased at your local hardware store.

Eiderdown is Iceland's Most Prized Natural Resource




From Iceland’s first viking settlers to European royalty, eiderdown has been prized throughout history for its astounding physical properties. It’s pure, quill-free softness, trapping air in a tangle of interwoven threads to create insulating pockets of Arctic-beating warmth.

Only 4000 kg of eiderdown is produced each year. It’s scarcer than gold, platinum and diamonds – combined and multiplied. 75% of the world’s eiderdown comes from Iceland. Eiderdown is the softest and lightest down in the world. It is extremely rare, in great demand and highly prized accounting for its high price.

Mark Lintern, author of "Cancer Resolution":





@ 10:49 - “…On top of that, I just also want say as I was doing my research, I came across a number of other features of the disease, such as iron overload. And why is iron associate the cancer? And I found about 20 of these different features and a number of the main streams theories couldn't explain most of them. So I thought well if my theory has any credibility, then I need to be explained these, too. So I have within my book. I explain all 20 of these, on top of the 10 official hallmarks. So by doing that add further validity to the theory, i.e. for the weight theory. It doesn’t necessary mean it’s correct. Like I say, we need to test it.

I just wanted to summarize the situation for everybody to realize that there's hope because they're all the perspectives of the disease and other possible treatment modalities that associate these different theories. And they vary an accuracy. And this is in critical information that should be provided to often isn't provided to cancer patient.”

@ 23 minutes - Mark Lintern explains how his theory is different.

@ 56:30 - "Like you just stated, if you're wrong you don't want to push this on anybody. And you're not saying it's a cure by any means. However, if people just improve their diet and the environment that they are in, they're gonna reduce the risk of getting these sort of problems. Or if they are on treatment, if they continue to eat well, and we know just basic facts of life, if you eat well, de-stress, it’s going to help. It may not be the final cure, but it was certainly help."

Is the Standard Cancer Theory Wrong? (59 min.)




Mark Lintern, author of Cancer Resolution, argues that the current method of understanding the cause of cancer and its treatment is erroneous, and offers another theory. His ideas give hope to those replying on older, unreliable treatments to be rid of the disease.

Empowering cancer patients with new insight and offering an additional therapeutic approach.

Step into a world where the science of cancer becomes accessible to all. In this award-winning book, cancer’s complexities are demystified, unveiling a fresh interpretation that holds the power to revolutionise how we approach its treatment. Written with the lay person in mind, it navigates the intricate labyrinth of cancer, translating the science into relatable concepts that resonate with all readers. By bringing this vital knowledge into the public domain, individuals are empowered to take an active role in their own health.



The proposition presented is simple: to effectively treat a disease, we must first identify its root cause. The bone of contention: we are forging ahead to create cancer treatments even though the underlying cause of cancer has not yet been identified – a reality highlighted by the many different theories of cancer that exist, and a failure to create a cure. Unable to establish a causal mechanism may explain why mainstream treatments provide no guarantee of success. A fresh perspective that provides new treatment options, therefore, is urgently needed.



Enter Mark Lintern, a visionary researcher who's developed a revolutionary new model of cancer that purports to have identified cancer's elusive origin. Over eight painstaking years of research, Mark unveils a formidable body of evidence that challenges prevailing beliefs and unveils an overlooked thread of consistency within the complex fabric of the disease. He compellingly demonstrates that certain pathogens possess not only the ability to initiate cancer, but also to actively drive its progression through a suppressive mechanism of control not yet considered by scientists.



In a stunning twist that challenges conventional wisdom and corroborates Mark’s research, emerging evidence has shattered the consensus view. The latest studies unequivocally confirm the presence of micro-organisms within every tumour analysed to date. This astonishing revelation has left the scientific community grappling with urgent questions: are these micro-organisms passive bystanders or key drivers of cancerous conditions? In support of Mark's new model, Ravid Straussman – who made the discovery – proposes that it may be the latter.



Supported by an impressive array of over 800 references, Mark sheds light on the pivotal role played by pathogens in driving the Warburg effect, a core feature of cancer that, up until now, remained unexplained. Most astonishingly, his model is the first to account for all 10 Hanahan and Weinberg Hallmarks, indicating he has likely uncovered the true origin of the disease.



The impact of Mark's work is so profound and unique that a recent online webinar (February 2023) attracted over 200 esteemed medical professionals, convening to examine and evaluate his paradigm-shifting interpretation of cancer. The consensus among these luminaries was unequivocal – an overwhelming endorsement of his groundbreaking cancer model, now referred to as the Cell Suppression Theory of cancer. Recognising the profound implications of Mark's work, they offer a glimmer of hope to countless cancer patients through the additional treatment options proposed in his research.



Whether Mark has truly unearthed the elusive cause of cancer or unravelled another layer of its mystifying complexity is for you to decide. Within these pages lies the key to transforming the lives of cancer patients and forever altering the course of this devastating disease. Mark's seminal work represents a beacon of hope, with the potential to revolutionise survival outcomes and ignite renewed optimism among patients and prevention advocates. Through the lens of cell suppression, the confusing and irrational behaviour of cancer starts to make sense.



Customer Review from Dino Fan:




“I cannot stress enough how informative this book is. If you or anyone you know has cancer this book will give you up to date honest and accurate information! It not only gives you the information tools to fight cancer, it explains it in a way that a lay person can understand which is so what is needed as the age old Standard of care we are dealt with from the NHS sadly continues to fail us.

Now more than ever in these times of profiteering from Big Pharma and current treatment often causing more damage than help, this book looks and theorises importance of treating root cause as our NHS treatment should do but yet fails to! Metabolic theory believed by many, plus anti fungal theory as Mark Lintern has discovered is the root cause we need to understand in order to fight this disease ourselves.

Put into practice the knowledge in this book and you will feel empowered as you see and feel symptoms improve. Sadly we must now take off the blinkers and stop thinking the Drs and oncologists know best. They only know best in what they are trained in and other treatment theories eg ( metabolic, anti fungal) are not included in their training. Remember knowledge is power! This book enables you to use that power to advocate for yourself.”

A little bit about the Blue Moon Here :heart:
(https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a-rare-super-blue-moon-will-be-visible-monday-night-what-does-that-mean-180984928/)



A supermoon is uncommon, and a blue moon is even rarer. But with the full moon tonight, both these events are happening at the same time. In a phenomenon known as a “super blue moon,” Earth’s natural satellite will appear both bigger and brighter than usual—and it will highlight some quirks of our calendar.
While the exact time of the full moon is 2:26 p.m. Eastern time on August 19, it will appear to be full through early Wednesday morning, writes Gordon Johnston for NASA (https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/skywatching/the-next-full-moon-is-a-supermoon-blue-moon/). So if you miss it Monday night, you’ll have another chance to take it in.

Clif High talks a lot about time being pulses, with pauses between them.

So I thought about how I saw this concept of time many years ago, and found a post of mine, from June 2013.

See below.

I found that quote on a website of channeled material, and the session where it was first revealed was in the late seventies.

Can anyone remember what that website was called?

I tried googling, but found nothing.


"the universe appears and disappears every four-quadrillionth of a second.

That within this brief moment, there is that which entities perceive and experience.

That each of these four-quadrillionth of a second intervals contains within itself the eternal now.

That entities is moving from one macro-moment to another,

carry with them that which they choose to carry from one universal moment to the next.

This Awareness indicates that wherein you carry that which is sorrow, carry that which is depressing;

wherein you carry that which is fear--that your next moment shall carry with it the fear, depression, and sorrow

which could have been left behind in your previous moment.


This Awareness asks entities upon this plane to think in new ways,

to begin to look in new directions, to begin to explore within themselves those areas of the psychic sea,

to move beyond the third dimensional thinking into the fourth dimensional ecstasy.

This Awareness indicates that energies of ecstasy are pouring in upon this planet at this time.

That those who can experience those energies shall rise, shall find health, vitality and joy.

Clif High talks a lot about time being pulses, with pauses between them.

@17:24 (https://clifhigh.substack.com/p/time-grammar) - Clif referenced Jason Jorjani’s void on his substack.



“…in the ontological model universe creates everything by pulse. That pulse happens 22,000,000,000,000 times a second and the pause is also happens 22 trillion times a second, but it has no duration.

So fundamentally your dividing the second into 22 trillion chucks, but there is a pause between each pulse. It simply has no time involved in it. It has no duration and doesn't contribute to duration at all.

That's the void that Jason Jorjani got involved with his near death experience. OK. And that's one of the reasons I know that he's actually legit and thinking about this appropriately is that he's at least gone that far to examine the nature of that experience and what it means in the broader scheme of things. “

Cuban Painted Snails




Threats and pressures affect the six species of Cuban land snail, commonly known as “painted snails." These species are arboreal (trees dwellers), and endemic (living only in that area) to Cuba.

Many of their local populations were destroyed, initially by deforestation for agricultural uses, and are endangered by predation by invasive species and climate change. And their intrinsic beauty makes them serious candidates for over-collecting, mostly for the tourism trade. link (https://www.shellmuseum.org/post/endangered-cuban-painted-snails)

Oh no, sad to hear that. And yes, it is bit bitter sweet to be reminded of just how "free speech" that forum could be at times. (I think I had about six posts before Aragorn banned me from the forum.)

Sad to see they finally banned their one and only pro-Trumper on the forum - he was probably their most prolific poster although some of most of his posts were hard to make sense of if not down right incomprehensible. Never the less, I always enjoyed watching him skirt the line of being censored for "not following the rules" and "posting propaganda" which was Aragon's way of restricting ideas that could be expressed there.

I know many of their members had left our forum with a trail of flames behind them and left some open wounds here. Those wounds should have mostly been healed by this time. And I think a lot of the people who were thrown out of this forum continued to grow over at The One Truth.

It might be a bit naive on my part to think this, but I would hope that this forum would extend some type of amnesty to everyone on the forum. I think there were a lot of good ideas on that forum which are not being expressed here, and would give new life and balance to this forum which is growing stagnant, moldy and arrogant in so many places.

And whether we want them or not, some of them will be back. With new email addresses, using VPNs, it is easy to create a new identity. So why not just let these people honesty be the same people whom they were before?

Well I not too hopeful about this, but I hope the idea would be tossed around by the mods, and action taken soon (so it could be discussed on their forum before closing.)

George Land: “Uncreative behavior and thinking is learned.” (1 min)

Unlocking Creative Genius: Impact of Education 98% to 2% Change


How Schooling Affects Creative Potential



https://i.imgur.com/OdPMOzZ.png



(https://medium.com/@operationecho?source=post_page-----080a5fb72bbe--------------------------------)

In the 1960s, NASA embarked on a unique quest, a quest not to explore outer space, but to delve into the inner space of human creativity. Their mission was to understand what makes a genius and how they could harness this knowledge to recruit exceptional minds for their space missions. To carry out this mission, they turned to George Land and his team, who would go on to conduct a groundbreaking study that would reveal fascinating insights into the nature of creativity.

The Genesis of the Study

George Land and his team began their investigation with a group of five-year-old children. They devised a creativity test that aimed to measure how these young minds used their creative imagination to solve problems. They defined genius not as an innate quality but as the ability to think creatively and solve problems in innovative ways. This definition laid the foundation for their research.

The Astonishing Discovery

The results of the initial study were nothing short of astonishing. When the five-year-olds were subjected to the creativity test, a staggering 98% of them qualified as geniuses by NASA’s definition. The findings were not only surprising but also profoundly optimistic, suggesting that creativity was a quality inherent in the vast majority of young children.

The Erosion of Genius

However, the study didn’t stop there. Land and his team decided to follow up with the same group of children over the years. When they returned when the children were ten years old, the percentage of those who still qualified as geniuses had plummeted to 30%. Another five years later, when the children had reached the age of fifteen, only 12% still met the criteria of a genius. These findings raised the question: what was happening to these young, creative minds as they grew older?

The Role of Education

George Land didn’t stop at this point. He continued his research, this time focusing on adults. The results of this follow-up study were even more revealing. Among the adult population, a mere 2% qualified as geniuses, by NASA’s definition. The implications of this decline in creative thinking were striking.


The most remarkable aspect of Land’s findings was the attribution of this decline to one primary factor: the educational system. He argued that the transformation from a 98% genius population of five-year-olds to a mere 2% of geniuses in adulthood was primarily due to the way our educational institutions functioned. It was, in essence, a stark commentary on how traditional schooling methods stifled creativity and innovation.

Uncreative Behavior is Learned

One of George Land’s thought-provoking quotes from this study is:
“Uncreative behavior and thinking is learned.”
This succinctly encapsulates the essence of his research. It underscores the idea that individuals are not inherently creative or uncreative but rather shaped by their environment, especially their educational experiences.

Conclusion

The NASA-commissioned study led by George Land in the 1960s shed light on the nature of creativity and how it evolves over time. It demonstrated that children are naturally inclined towards creativity and problem-solving but lose a significant portion of their creative potential as they progress through the educational system. Land’s work serves as a poignant reminder that our educational institutions have a profound impact on shaping the future of young minds and that:


Fostering creativity should be a central goal
in our pursuit of nurturing the next generation of geniuses.

Lisa M. Harrison: “We’re putting ourselves back together. We’re becoming whole. We’re becoming one. And that means collecting our little pieces of consciousness that’s invested all these different narratives.”

“…then you take back that piece of you that’s invested in that narrative or that concept.”


https://i.imgur.com/EkQUDnr.gif




I’m listening to snippets I’ve recorded over time. This is one from Lisa M. Harrison:




"All narratives are going to play out at once. Just as we, the humans, are the creators of these realms, we are also the battery and power source for them. So what the virus and those who are virus embody who are controlling have done is feed us narratives. Because they are not creators, they feed us narrative that we will then put our energy into to create. And because these narratives are fueled and fed by creator beings, they exist. They are real. They put energy into them.

Like a plane when they need to land, it circles to burn off fuel. We are burning off the fuel. We are burning off the fuel, the energy inside this construct so we can wind down. So it can go through its demolition so to speak. Which is what we’re in the process of.

So every time a narrative is exposed. Every time a lot of the disclosures and information is exposed, we are going to see the truth, whether we like it or not. Because these narratives need to play out. The energy in them needs to burn off. And every time it does, our consciousness that is embedded, that is invested in that narrative, we will reclaim. And we stop fueling it.

So if your idolizing certain celebrities or celebrity culture as a general rule, and they start to be exposed to some of the things they actually are doing and who they really are, then you take back that piece of you that’s invested in that narrative or that concept.

The same thing is going to happen with religion, with banking, with all the artificial structures and systems. If you're invested in Covid and the truth around that, people can take back that piece of their consciousness that’s invested in that storyline, that narrative. Because as I said, we’re putting ourselves back together. We’re becoming whole. We’re becoming one. And that means collecting our little pieces of consciousness that’s invested all these different narratives.

So it’s all going to be insane. And it’s all going to be exposed. And it’s a good thing."

Two Million Flamingos




Lake Bogoria, in Kenya is known for the fact that about two million flamingos live on the coast. It is not difficult to approach Lake Bogoria, however, the flamingos are very shy. As soon as the birds see people, thousands of them scatter over the water and take to the air. But even from a great distance, a flock of flamingos is a grandiose spectacle.

Barbara O'Neill's Tip to NEVER Use Sunscreen.




Barbara O’Neill: ”I don't have sunscreen. I have my watch. 15 minutes front. 15 minutes back. And then under the umbrella. By the end of the week, I’m golden brown and then I can be out there for half an hour, maybe an hour.”

I bumped into my chiropractor in town yesterday, an expat American from New York, a good man who is a friend. He followed Project Camelot long ago, he's a prepper, and he won't accept any clients who've been vaxxed.

He's also a fundamentalist Jew who studies and prays every day.

We got to talking about the coming US election, as he'd just registered to vote as an expat. He said he was going to vote for Kamala, as the Democrats were the only party he could trust.

I thought it best to say nothing at all.

I see a gray and white shoe behind the young lady with the blue dress, and possibly what looks like a red and white vacuum cleaner in the "Can you spot WHAT is “hidden” in this picture?"Ha. I stared at it for a while before returning to this advice from Paula (i.e. try looking at it from quite a distance). You may see something unexpected. :)

I had a similar experience with a brother and sister over the weekend. Trump makes no sense and accomplished nothing, never built a border (any part of it). Kamala is insightful and after all she was the Attorney General of California. I can’t recall what else was discussed because all my energy was used to keep quiet, but I’m certain they spoke highly of CNN.

I’ve decided to concentrate only on alternative health information and not push much else. That’s something they can change. All my siblings are on heart and type 2 diabetes medications. They’re beginning to understand the importance of diet and exercise. It’s hard to watch how they have the latest high tech gym equipment and stuff, yet the huge space remains unused.

I find when I speak with siblings separately, they’re open to take in some of it. This past visit, I gifted my brother copies of “Propaganda” & “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars: An Introductory Programming Manual” because we’ve touched on some topics.

It's heart breaking to watch highly accomplished, multi-talented siblings get cheated out of future time and energy. Or more accurately stated: cheat themselves out of quality time and energy.

That's been my strategy as well, for the most part.

But I remain perplexed by these types of examples (people who seem totally switched on in one sense and totally backwards in another) and my mind still demands the logical explanations it knows it'll never receive LOL

Just last week I wrote some positive comments under an article written by a woman on Substack; she had written well about the trans stuff, and I was impressed. I was eager to express my appreciation and maybe even make a connection there...until she responded.

See, the problem - she explained - was all my fault:). This entire thing was the fault of men, and as a man my opinion was worthless, and I was worthless, and I'd do well to shut up and never offer an opinion on the matter again, etc etc etc. That's the PG version of her response btw.

I wasn't angered or anything, just shocked! My first thought was, is this person even real??? She was a strange hybrid I'd never encountered before. She was anti-trans and anti-woke, but also this very woke, angry, man-hating feminist all at the same time. It was like discovering a new species of weird, and my brain didn't know what to do with it!

P.S. Just noticed that I've recently passed the 6000 post mark. That feels like something of an accomplishment actually.

Substack is definitely way better:)

I was actually encouraged by it all, weirdly enough. Because it was just further proof that you can write anything you like there almost, and that includes those blood n guts battles in the comments section too. Maybe I’m deranged but I like that sort of thing. I kinda thrive in those environments.

5 Friendship Lies Holding You Back + Truths for Meaningful Relationships (1:29:00)





August 21, 2024
Mel Robbins (https://www.youtube.com/@melrobbins/videos)







Lie #1: Everybody’s life is a huge party day.
Truth #1: If you want your life to be a party, create it.



Lie #2: I don’t fit in or maybe you say people don't like me or you're mad at me or you presume you've done something wrong.
Truth #2: People like you more than you think so start acting like it.



Lie #3: Best friends aren't always forever friends. They come and go in your life even your best friends. Friendships fade.
Truth #3: You're allowed to grow and move on. Move toward the people that they're aligned with where you're headed instead of holding so tightly to the folks that were with you in places where you've been.



Lie #4: You do not need to be everybody's friend. You can't be everybody's friend.
Truth #4: Not everybody is meant to be your friend.



Lie #5: I'm too busy. I'm too tired. I don't want to go out. I’d rather stay home. I have social anxiety. I'm an introvert.
Truth #5: Friends are the thing that make life meaningful. You deserve amazing friendships and you deserve to be an amazing friend.

Mike Rowe Meets The Modern Day Michelangelo: Sabin Howard | The Way I Heard It




August 30, 2024

Mike Rowe interviews Master Sculptor Sabin Howard. Sabin Howard is known as America’s Michelangelo for his work in, and deep knowledge of, Modern Classicism. On September 13, 2024, he will unveil his newest work, the National WWI Memorial in Washington, D.C., called A Soldier’s Journey. Sabin discusses why he believes that great art can be recognized by everyone and should be for “we the people,” why art is inextricably connected to history, and why art tells us what it means to be human.

A Soldier's Journey

https://i.imgur.com/C3p9Izk.jpg




Memorial architect Joe Weishaar calls Sabin Howard’s A Soldier’s Journey sculpture “The Everyman.” Thirty-eight separate figures, spread over approximately 58 feet of wall towards the western end of the Memorial Core, portray the experience of one American soldier. Starting from the left, the soldier takes leave from his wife and daughter, charges into combat, sees men around him killed, wounded, and gassed, and recovers from the shock to come home to his family. The figures are mounted on the wall.

In the departure, the soldier’s daughter hand him his helmet, while his wife touches him with a restraining arm, as if to hold him back as he answers the call to battle – representing the debate over American involvement in the war. In the initiation, the soler joins the parade to war, as the United States joins the epic battle in Europe. (continued here (https://www.nps.gov/wwim/learn/historyculture/journey.htm))

Coke Products Just Got Even More Toxic

We know at this point that our skin is constantly shedding. And this is what these plastic items are doing — they’re just constantly shedding. ~ Dr. Sam Mason, professor and director of sustainability at Penn State Behrend, said to The Washington Post.


https://i.imgur.com/FHZjbpG.jpg




“Plastic water bottles, a long-known enemy of our Earth, are finding their way into human bodies in huge quantities—well, pieces of them are. A study published this week shows just how much plastic we drink with bottled water: Researchers from Columbia University and Rutgers have found at least 240,000 plastic particles in the average liter of bottled water, a major health concern.

Most of the plastic particles found by the researchers were extremely small nanoplastics, which have a diameter of less than one micrometer—making them invisible to the naked eye. Nanoplastics have been historically challenging to study due to their extremely small size, but as technology has improved, scientists are now finding them almost everywhere—including in the environment, plants, animals, beverages, foods, and our human bodies.”

Americans' Trust in Media Remains at Trend Low - Trust in political and civic institutions highest for local and state governments, lowest for media and Congress
by Megan Brenan
October 14, 2024

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans continue to register record-low trust in the mass media, with 31% expressing a “great deal” or “fair amount” of confidence in the media to report the news “fully, accurately and fairly,” similar to last year’s 32%. Americans’ trust in the media -- such as newspapers, television and radio -- first fell to 32% in 2016 and did so again last year.

For the third consecutive year, more U.S. adults have no trust at all in the media (36%) than trust it a great deal or fair amount. Another 33% of Americans express “not very much” confidence.

Is Apeel Safe? 3 Things You Need to Know (https://www.saintjohnsorganicfarm.com/articles/is-apeel-safe)




https://i.imgur.com/NgUYtx4.png




Have you heard of the controversial “edible coating” Apeel?


It’s a film that goes on produce to make it last longer, and it’s been approved by the USDA Organics program.


It’s invisible, odorless, and you can’t wash it off.


Many people doubt Apeel is really safe to consume, even though the Bill & Melinda Gates partnered company, Apeel Sciences, claims it is.


What You Need to Know:

1. Apeel is a tasteless, odorless, invisible food coating that dramatically slows down food spoilage.

It’s purpose is to extend shelf life of produce, to make the produce look fresh even if it’s been in a warehouse for weeks. There are versions of Apeel that can be applied before or after harvest. It’s on foods in over 65 countries, including organics in the U.S.



“Apeel already has approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as “generally recognized as safe” (GRAS). The two products will be marketed as preserving agents (keeping the outward appearance of freshness of the fruit or vegetable), as pesticides (creating a physical barrier for pests) or even as fungicides (such as preventing the anthracnose fungus from shriveling up avocados). — "Is Apeel Appealing?" - Weston A. Price Foundation


2. Apeel claims to be environmentally friendly and plant-based.

Apeel is extracted from food waste, like seeds, peels, pulps, and stems from plants. Apeel claims to source a lot of its ingredients from grape skins and seeds leftover from wine processing.

Though it may come from natural sources, the end result is a far cry from leftover orange peels because the raw ingredients undergo a transformation using industrial petrochemical extraction.

However, how “green” is it to use petrochemical solvents in the extraction process?

3. Apeel contains heavy metals and petrochemical solvents, and it may contain trans fats.

Apeel is made of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides, which are edible fatty acids commonly found in the often discarded parts of fruits and vegetables. These types of fatty acids may contain trans fats, which are known to cause obesity and metabolic syndrome.

The problem is the extraction process contains exposure to industrial petrochemical solvents and heavy metals. Apeel tested the amounts of these solvents and heavy metals in their submission statement to the FDA (https://www.fda.gov/media/135999/download) (page 14).

Apeel contains lead, cadmium, arsenic, palladium, and mercury. It claims to be in small enough amounts to not negatively impact the consumer, thus the USDA’s “Generally Recognized as Safe” classification.

Apeel says a consumer would need to ingest 30,000 apples to ingest 1 kg of Apeel. However, I don’t think you’d need to eat 1 kg of Apeel to get a substantial amount of heavy metals. We know heavy metals build up in the body over a lifetime. It’s not a fair comparison to say there are trace amounts of heavy metals in one piece of produce sprayed with Apeel. That may be true, but that person very well may eat thousands of apples in their lifetime, thus exposing them to heavy metals daily.

What Can You Do About It?

One of the best things you can do is to support local farmers and ask them questions about their growing process. There’s no need to use Apeel if you’re going straight to the source.

Another action step is to submit feedback online to your local grocer, especially if it’s a big chain. Tell them you don’t want produce coated with Apeel and won’t be purchasing any produce with an Apeel coating.

https://i.imgur.com/y4TXpSz.png





This toxic coating cannot be washed off.
Rubber food included in this video.

If I liked popcorn, I'd buy wholesale by now.

The best of times on the planet, I'm convinced... and it all started in '20, with the covid bs being rolled out.

That - weird as it may sound - ignited lasting confidence in me, for the first time in this lifetime, that this is indeed "it"; we're all going to partake in sth that hasn't been here before.

Truly enjoying the show. Someone else?

Hi meeradas. IMO, it has always been “it”. Change, ironically, seems to be a constant. Imagine the dismay of observers, as the making of hundreds-ton fine hard rock monuments ended.

I do like your optimism, your enthusiasm for observing, but why not do your own creating?

There is word that we all have been made “in the image” of our conceptual creator. That tells me, we are only bounded by our own thought. Think and create freely, bro, and join us others who are making that difference, call it that glow. And please post some results here. ~8)

How does Schumann resonance affect humans?

Mood and Emotions: The Schumann Resonance is believed to have a positive effect on mood and emotions, promoting feelings of well-being, calmness, and inner peace. This could be related to an entrainment effect on blood pressure, and in turn, its effect on dopamine and serotonin neurotransmission in the brain.

Just realized I am stuck in 1,000s when the world has moved on to 1,000,000s. If it is over 2,000, it is out of my reality entirely.

I have been out-bid by the world, who still finds value in items once worth 1,000 times less...

Hey, Ernie. I hope that wasn’t a reference to race, but if it was I have a pertinent quote for you. From Legs McNeil, in some interview back in the print days of Juice Magazine, “White? Nobody here is white, we’re all pink. If I was dog-dick pink, I wouldn’t bring up color”.

Legs was one of the founders of Punk Magazine, and was a friend and documentarian of the Ramones.

I posted this on Bill’s Fire Drills (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?117283-Fire-Drills&p=1472113&viewfull=1#post1472113) thread:





The most recent items I invested in had to do with when the electricity goes out from the New England winter storms. My apartment uses electric heat.

I purchased a pop-up tent for two that automatically opens and it doesn’t require stakes. The plan is to set it up in the sunny side of my place when needed. I stocked up on organic candles (clean, non-toxic burn) and will use them for added warmth inside the smaller space. I have solar lanterns for a light source.

I also purchased several Therm-a-Rest blankets (which are light weight and holds body heat), a sleeping bag that is good for 32°F (0° C), and a Nemo insulated sleeping mattress that's designed to hold in body heat rather than it being absorbed into the ground. The temp range is 15°F-25°F (-3° - -9°C).

It was a large investment, but in the long run it gives me peace of mind. I also use them during the day and at bed time along with the sleeping bag as a cover. I’m able to lower the thermostat day and night to save money on the ever rising cost of the heating/electric bill.

Almost embarrased to mention them Miller. :blushing:

We had lots of torches, but they were all rechargeable! :facepalm:
Unbeknownst to me we had no candles but for almost worthless 'tea lights'.

The water went off too! We had rainwater in abundance but it could not be trusted and our filter systems would have all been jeapordised had we used them, so its primary use was flushing conveniences.

Fortunately not all areas had succumbed to the same length of outage so I could get bottled drinking water in the next town over. We also had a wood-burning stove and hot water bottles so it wasn't really a major trial, just uncomfortable to lose that which you grow so accustomed too.

I had to survive couple of winters without electricity. This DIY invention was rather useful. We used both medicinal alcohol or cheaper methanol as gas and it burns very hot and was pretty good and fast for cooking or just to heat up the room. Might be better to get some decent camping burner that uses propane or some other gas but in sticky situations this one will get the job done.

Eh - that's too geeky for my tastes. I can usually find such "special" characters, such as the superscript ° symbol for degrees, or the ash ligature æ used in spelling æther, by doing a Google search that will likely have that special character in the result, and then copying and pasting that character into my response here.

[wondering]

I have invested in a couple of unused paint cans and alcohol. either cotton balls can be saturated with the alcohol, or else a roll of toilet paper can be used inside the paint cans, also saturated. A rack of some kind can be placed on top after it is lighted, and hot water can be heated or a pan of something can be heated. I don't know about long term, but in the short run I could make coffee, without which there would be no reason to go on....lol. I found a pour over coffee setup, very basic. I have seen various demonstrations of this, and it could be helpful...of course in the long run it would be very challenging. I have foil blankets, multiple quilts, lots of back up water for flushing, a water filter, canned food. My hope has always been if this were to be a long term survival situation, my age might help me to cross over to the other side....who knows! Also, candles and quite a few batteries.

Hi Diane. I like your experimental heart! I heated a garage we used as a music studio, through a cold winter here in Edmonton, with methanol burned in a salad bowl. Cheap, stainless steel.

Your wicks, the cotton balls and the TP roll, sound safer. I often worried when my buddy would warm his feet over the faint blue fire, when he was seemingly real drunk. Haha, he might have found my number, a reliable prank lol. But we had no fire extinguishers out there.

I have tools and water, and beans and rice that just need water and heating, so I’m not sweating eating or drinking, but the rest is up to not me.

Cheers, sis. 🐝🕷🐰♥️

This is how we triumph because when you do that, you've defeated the evil that is trying to keep you from being the best version of yourself.


The Seven Battles Between Good and Evil (1 min)




In the seventh battle, it says the Sons of Light prevail. They prevail with divine intervention and through their own divinity. Through us excepting our own power we prevail.

So what does this mean? When you think about battles, people think about the old idea where there’s force against force. That’s obsolete. That’s what keeps us stuck in the battle. We don't want to win this battle. We want to triumph and triumph is different than winning. To triumph means we rise above.

And how do you triumph this battle? By becoming the best version of yourself. That’s it. Living the best version of yourself. Where does your joy come from? Live it without fear. Love without fear. Imagine. Innovate. Create. Share your ideas. Forgive. Heal your own body because that is our birthright.

This is how we triumph because when you do that, you've defeated the evil that is trying to keep you from being the best version of yourself.

Spoiler alert: No, they can't.

Considering the back and forth in the 'news' thread I thought this would be a good post for here. Unfortunately we're not debating so much as talking at each other but I think this is a fair thing to post since you get both sides defending themselves from their own point of view.

[edina]

An interesting side trail from watching the Jubiliee video that Strat shared above, is that it pulls up a whole section of videos on variations of the situation.

Here's another video from Jubilee (middle ground) that has happened since the Oct 7 attack.

Genuine, authentic conversations are often messy. This doesn't mean the conversation is not a success and helpful.

Life is messy, and especially messy in this situation. Hearing the various perspectives of the people is helpful for me. They over talk each other at times, dismiss each other at other times, but for the most part, they keep coming back to their shared humanity.

I was thinking earlier today about this issue of dehumanizing others, people hardening their hearts toward others and refusing to treat "fill in the blank whoever" with humanity is a key "force multiplier" in escalating the tension and animosity that leads people into the quagmire of the manipulated division of people that happens on every scale of our societies.

If you dive deeper into the Jubilee channel, or notice related videos the YT algorithms populated in the side bars, you'll see how this is happening across so many cross-segments of societies. Conservative Muslim v Liberal Muslim ( I didn't know that "revert" was a thing), Black Christians v Black Muslim, Israeli Muslims v Arab Muslims, so much more.

The fragmentation just goes on and on and on and on. In every conceivable direction.

I remember when schools started integration of the previous segregated people into schools. Racism was a very real thing at the time. I was about 10 years old. Back then I told everyone who would listen, and even people who wouldn't, that every one is a human being first. It's been my go to my whole life. I could never wrap my mind around dehumanizing another person.

And under-girding our humanity, the foundation of the essence of who we are, is that we are souls That's our true identity. As souls, every experience we have can be used for our soul growth.

I remember growing up on these Cayce reading adages.

Magnify the virtues, minimize the faults.
Focus on what you have in common, rather than on your differences.
We all have our humanity in common. And when we harden our hearts to another person, dismiss their value as a human being, dehumanize others, ... that's when people get sucked into the distortions and lies that tear us apart.

Applying the simple wisdom of those two Cayce adages is an effective counterbalance to the unnecessary divisiveness.

An additional thought I had from watching this video; none of the people at the table seemed to realize that the various terrorist organizations, certain factions in Israel government, other factions in the Middle East as well as the globalists, including first world nations (US, China, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Europe, UK...) are all working together to keep terrorism active. And at this point, make it go global.

They dance around the edges of it. Someone mentioned Qatar. Others mentioned the US. And they were increasingly able to see how the various media "stir the pot" so to speak, but not quite seeing that they are getting played against each other.

This is why conversations like this are important. And even if you can't have a conversation like this, it's probably important to listen to one; not with the intent to prove yourself right and another wrong, but rather with the intent to understand all involved.

I don't typically post in this thread, so I don't know if what I've added is how this thread is supposed to work. I came to hear what Strat wanted to share. Mods, if it doesn't fit here, please feel free to move it where ever you feel it better fits. Thanks :)

Note Added, 2117: One thought, that I almost took for granted. Earlier today I read Libico's post here (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123975-How-do-you-stay-informed-Which-news-outlets-do-you-read&p=1648144&viewfull=1#post1648144). You can see what Libico described in both the videos. I think it can be insightful to better understand the conversations. The Israeli's are adamant with their belief about investigations of soldiers killing Palestinians. One woman said, if Israelis knew that was happening there would be protests in the streets of Israel. It's a very real and important value to them.

Focus on what you have in common, rather than on your differences.We all have our humanity in common. And when we harden our hearts to another person, dismiss their value as a human being, dehumanize others, ... that's when people get sucked into the distortions and lies that tear us apart.

Applying the simple wisdom of those two Cayce adages is an effective counterbalance to the unnecessary divisiveness.

An additional thought I had from watching this video; none of the people at the table seemed to realize that the various terrorist organizations, certain factions in Israel government, other factions in the Middle East as well as the globalists, including first world nations (US, China, Iran, Russia, Europe, UK...) are all working together to keep terrorism active. And at this point, make it go global.

They dance around the edges of it. Someone mentioned Qatar. Others mentioned the US. And they were increasingly able to see how the various media "stir the pot" so to speak, but not quite seeing that they are getting played against each other.

This is why conversations like this are important. And even if you can't have a conversation like this, it's probably important to listen to one; not with the intent to prove yourself right and another wrong, but rather with the intent to understand all involved.

I don't typically post in this thread, so I don't know if what I've added is how this thread is supposed to work. I came to hear what Strat wanted to share. Mods, if it doesn't fit here, please feel free to move it where ever you feel it better fits. Thanks :)

Note Added, 2117: One thought, that I almost took for granted. Earlier today I read Libico's post here (https://youtu.be/fo_nWmRGi_o?si=X7JeLFKF2uYYm0w1). You can see what Libico described in both the videos. I think it can be insightful to better understand the conversations. The Israeli's are adamant with their belief about investigations of soldiers killing Palestinians. One woman said, if Israelis knew that was happening there would be protests in the streets of Israel. It's a very real and important value to them.

Thank you Edina. Perfect fare for all times, let alone the season. It’s what seems to have become an exponential egoistic fractalization of consciousness that is reverberating throughout every form of group. We have reached that state of personal and collective identitification where the ultimate expression of individualism is being approached. Each can be an island unto themselves if they so choose in a way that have never been possible before in this Age. You don’t have to leave your home if you don’t want to. Groups divide within groups seemingly honing themselves into finer and finer divisions. Alignment is mental, sub-culturally determined moreso than material or physiological.

We had some corporate people show up at work today, and my supervisor forced us to do a team cheer this morning in order to make an impression or something. And I think I actually felt my soul leave my body in protest.

The Simulation Was Supposed To End in 2012
But Something Went Terribly Wrong | Lisa M. Harrison




Lisa M. Harrison shares her experience with Leeloo and how Leeloo began the contact through Lisa’s computer. I’ve only started listening, but I have followed her journey with Leeloo since the beginning. She’s now coming out publicly with her on-going experience.

Jean Nolan: What was the content of the conversation? How did it start? (@ 9:00 minutes)

Lisa M. Harrison: It was about the fact that we are in a construct. That we are in a simulated construct. That it is overdue to end. That she was from outside of it in what we would call base reality or home where we will come from originally. And she chose not to incarnate in the traditional way because so many people already had and had to go through that mind wipe and forget why they were came here and forget the mission. So a way was created for them to sort of tap in without coming in. And that it was time to get ready basically. And to get everyone else ready.

Post update:

Just found out that clicking the video here shows the german dubbed version of the film (also for you?);
english original version is available by clicking on the link below.

Maybe it's just my location which is causing this... never encountered something like it before.

Strange enough - video link is exactly the same for both.

[Strat]

I am aware that I'm generally a young man but I see signs that I am aging. One of those is I roll my eyes at the younger generations and I think they are in a lot of trouble.

The teens to twenties are just screwed. I have a few acquaintances that I met years ago on a (now defunct) forum, all of them are late 20s. Honestly they are the most weak people I've ever met. It's sad in a way. They are so lost it's unbelievable.

I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they're just on the left, but they are far left and IMO one or 2 are damn near extremists. One is trans, she has also been taking psych meds for years. She talks so hard it's unbelievable. You'd think she's a UFC champion and medal of honor recipient. Constantly talking about kicking someone's ass and gets into verbal arguments online. At her core she's just a scared, broken human. She talked about mentioning to her doc wanting to fully transition and how scary it was for her to have this conversation. So what happened to the tough guy front? I can read people like this a mile away, you see it online quite often. This has been a problem for me in the past because I can't stand 'fake' and I call it out when I should hold my tongue. I'm much better with this now. Anyway...

Her and her friends are all gamers. They never get outside, if they're not at work they're locked away in a room playing online games. They speak about how poor they are, how it sucks to be poor, and then post about some awesome meal they made or a new game they bought. When games come out that require high performance PC's, they build a new gaming PC. North of $1k. How many poor people you know do this? When I was growing up sometimes the lights didn't come on, but we didn't complain. It definitely sucked but we got out and rode bikes, played football, went camping etc. Being poor is cool these days. Well, pretending to be is at least. The key is to complain about being poor and then flaunt all the cool **** you have on Instagram or whatever social media you use. And when your rival can't get it you call them a "broke bitch."

Religion and/or spirituality is non existent with them. I remember one of them mentioning how he thinks meditation is bs and the promotion of it is one of his 'pet peeves,' to which he has many. He takes anti depressants. Most of them are broken individuals. I'm not mocking them for this, it's sad. It sucks. I know suffering and I don't like to see others go through with it. They are going through it and there is no end in sight because they don't address it properly. Take the docs pills and keep on trucking. This is a foolish way to live. Feeling down or being depressed in this world (at least in my country) is like being fat. Most of us are and we think it's kinda normal, especially as you age. It's not normal, it's the way we live our lives that lead us down this road. If you don't recognize this then it's not likely you'll change. I feel for them.

I feel for them, but at the same time it's hard. I have to take breaks and step away because of the things they say. The 4th branch has done a number on them. I don't have what it takes to talk sense into them, it's like speaking to a flat earther who isn't willing to listen. So I don't bother, it's a waste of my energy. In the past I worked for a family owned shop, so it was difficult for me to hear them say how it's OK to burn these places to the ground in protest. I didn't say it, I'm older now, but I was just thinking, "You do realize I can slap the **** out of all of you at the same time. None of you have ever been in a fight, 1 of you has the build of a skinny meth head, the other 2 are overweight. None of you believe in carrying guns. I have several. You are all out of your skull thinking you can willy nilly walk up to this store and I'm gonna let that go down." I'm not in my 20s anymore. I try to be chill. If the time comes, like any other person, I can show my teeth. I believe in Roosevelt's "Walk softly and carry a big stick." Also it's the net, and it's seriously cringey to talk about physical things like this.

So I sit back and let them talk. I just listen to them. I sort of have a goal to slowly turn them around. I've managed to soften their edges a bit, and one of them is pro guns now which is crazy. I'm not totally pro guns myself, it's a long story. Also it's not totally about the politics, I want to help these people. They're down often, and when I see that I try to do what I can to pick them up.

That's all, just a little rant.

Oh and we need to bring back respect and politeness! But that's a topic for another day.

Telepathy Tapes (2:19 minutes)





August 3, 2024 - (100,661 views)
The Telepathy Tapes (https://www.youtube.com/@TheTelepathyTapes/videos)

For centuries, we have tiptoed around the idea of extra-sensory perception—the idea that humans can perceive information and impact their world outside the parameters of our five senses.

THE TELEPATHY TAPES podcast explores such uncharted territories by entering the lives of the most unexpected subjects: non-speaking children with autism. Telepathy is a worldwide phenomenon amongst families of non-speakers. Parents and teachers have expressed this desperately for decades without being believed. Documenting, validating, and corroborating the claims of telepathy in these families is the easy part. THE TELEPATHY TAPES explores how and why it’s happening.

I started this project as a documentary and still believe that format suits this story best. This story needs to be visual to reach as many people as possible. But to start building an audience and begin to get this critical information into the world, I’m releasing highlights of my four years of work to date - in addition to in-depth, long format interviews with various parents, non-speakers and teachers.

A little more trivia. (If I may be excused! :P)

Several times on this thread I've shared some interesting things I saw by the Ecuador roadsides. Here's another one. :)

On a winding mountain road, rounding a sharp bend I suddenly saw a large pile of fluffy white things scattered all over the kerb. I stopped to look, and then saw they were chickens. Hundreds of them.

And then I saw some broken plastic crates, and realized that a truck had shed its load on the corner, that the chickens were already dead and were just being transported, and that this had only just happened as everything was all very fresh and there were no signs of any predators.

But then other cars stopped. The Ecuadorians, ever-alert to providential free gifts, immediately started to collect the chickens to take them home for their families. (And why mot??)

I thought of doing the same (for my dog, not me!), but then I'd have had to pluck and treat them, and it all seemed like too much trouble. So I went on my way — but later very much regretted not taking a photo. :)

Hell I'd grab one too and say, "Ganador, ganador cena de pollo!" :ROFL:

Skip the plucking..

I once was asked to kill an aggressive cockerel that was wrecking havoc amongst the chickens at a friends house.
Looked up how to easiest seperate the meat from the rest and the answer was " compressed air' or 'compressor' skinning..

Create and Adjust Your Path https://i.imgur.com/IovSdNZ.gif

Focus forward on what you wish to create. This starts the process of transformation even if you change your mind or direction during the process.

So when we focus forward and start creating something, it begins transformation in our life. Which is great. But sometimes because we start driving in that direction, we realize, “Oh I'm driving slightly the wrong way.” And we would never have known that if we didn't start driving.

And then we go, okay. I need to go a little bit right or I need to go a little bit left or I need to phone that person and say, “I can't come to your house anymore.” Because I've realized I can't reach the destination in time. So certain things might change.

Can we get real for a second?

We have poisoned our food supply, engineered, highly addictive chemicals that we put into our food. We spray it with pesticides that kill pests. What do you think they do to our gut lining in our microbiome? And then they (patients) come in sick. The G.I. track is reacting. It's not an acute inflammatory storm. It's a low grade chronic inflammation and it makes people feel sick.

We've done a terrible thing to doctors. We've told him put your head down focus on billing and coding. We're gonna measure you by your throughput and good job. You did a nice job. We have all these numbers to show for it.

Well, the country is getting sicker. We cannot keep going down this path. We have the most overmedicated, sickest population in the world. And no one is talking about the root causes. Somebody has got to speak up.

Maybe we need to talk about school lunch programs. Not just putting every kid on obesity drugs like Ozempic. Maybe we need to talk about treating diabetes with cooking classes not just throwing insulin at everybody. Maybe we need to talk about environmental exposures that cause cancer not just the chemo to treat it. We've gotta talk about food as medicine and research these areas.

Much has been hidden. I’m currently reading the book below. It’s caused me to ask once AGAIN, “How can I help?”




A mini-movie showed how evil abhors love. Then big me poured liquid love over the planet. Those unable to breathe in love aren’t aware of what’s happening to them. Slowly they’re suffocating and being erased from existence. The next part of the movie was how big me implanted the planet into her womb to nurture anew.

"The Cancer Cure That Worked! | Fifty Years of Suppression”
Barry Lynes, 1987

https://i.imgur.com/95HzVPN.png




Abebooks summary (https://www.abebooks.com/9780919951303/Cancer-Cure-Worked-Years-Suppression-0919951309/plp):




A detailed account of Rife's inventions and discoveries is the subject of The Cancer Cure That Worked. This startling book documents events from 1913 to the time of Rife's death in 1972. Rife was an optical engineer and technician of great skill. His first success was the building of the Universal Microscope in the late 1920s. With it he was able to view the living cancer virus -- a feat our modern, high-powered electron microscopes still cannot do. His microscope used many quartz prisms and lenses, placed to compensate for losses of refraction due to air. This enabled him to view far tinier particles than had ever been seen before.

Using the Universal Microscope which he invented, he observed cancer viruses as they changed their size and form. He discovered that exposing a virus to certain frequencies of radio waves killed it quickly. Years of experimentation led to Rife's invention of the Frequency Instrument, a device that produced the exact frequencies needed to destroy various viruses.

In 1934 at the clinic in California, diseased people were exposed to the exact same frequencies that had been seen (through the microscope) to destroy the virus causing their illness. Treatments lasted only three minutes. The person would wait three days before another exposure giving the lymph system time to cleanse the dead virus from their bodies. Unlike the chemotherapy treatments currently in use, Rife's therapy was 100 percent effective and engendered no adverse symptoms.

Yet, 53 years after the arrival of Rife's Frequency Instrument, hundreds of thousands of people still die each year of diseases that Royal Raymond Rife cured.

Indian Governor Offers $1 Million to Anyone Who Can Decipher This 5,300-year-old Writing System

An Indian state governor has offered a $1 million reward to anyone who can prove definitively they’ve deciphered the script of the Indus Valley Civilization.

One of the oldest urban societies in history, the Indus Valley, or Harappan people began building settlements in the Indus River Valley in Pakistan/India 5,500 years ago.

They left behind a script and language that have yet to be deciphered, and M.K. Stalin, the Chief Minister (equivalent to a US governor) of Tamil Nadu, has offered a massive bounty to any codebreakers who are able to do so.

Mr. Stalin announced the prize after a recent scientific publication linked a variety of graffiti marks found on ancient Tamil pottery to the Harappan script, and believes there may be a connection with these two ancient lands.

If there were, it would be almost as remarkable a discovery as the ability to read the various seal stamps and symbols on Harappan artifacts, as Tamil Nadu is the southernmost state on the Indian subcontinent, thousands of miles away from the Harappan heartland.

How to Navigate a Changing World (5 min.)


Partial transcript:



"How can we navigate the current winds of change that are blowing and shaping our world?”




Get strong. Get fortified. Look after yourself. Know who your community are. Understand that the world is going through a period of change, but don't assume everything is going to go away.

Too many of you are seeing this as far more dramatic than it is actually going to be. We’re not saying that the changes won't be big but many of you are assuming there will be some grand event or overnight explosion or complete destination of what was. Don’t see it that way. That’s not what's destined for humanity. Yes, there will be changes, but there are positives in your lineage that all of you are in possession of. {snip}

…Every decade the planet goes through a big shift. This is true. This is true if you go back for the last few hundred years. So there is a part of you all that can get a little overly scared, overly concerned, easily manipulated into thinking that everything is going to be taken away from you. Now that's survival fear and that is intrinsic to the human animal. That is one of the things that you have to work with and evolve.

But there are too many of you in this period of history who are ready to decide what's going to happen in the future because you know. And that's dangerous because as soon as you've decided that you know exactly what is going to happen in the future you start putting energy behind that vision.

Pay attention to what's happening today. Pay attention to yourself. Pay attention to your life. You have a mission here. You might be here for two more days. You might be here for seven more decades. The unknown of your lifespan should motivate you. It should put you into a place of presence.

There are things you will not like on this planet until the day you die. They are not where your focus needs to go unless you are an activist against those things. What you need to do is create the opposite. Stand for, become, and emit what it is you wish to see on the planet.

We know it can be annoying because you get distracted by all the noise outside you and that's part of your energy mastery. You have to understand how much of the outside noise is yours to engage with and how much of it is noise. Because it is too many voices, too many pieces of information in areas that you are not actually affected or involved. {snip}


…but in terms of being ready for the coming years, if you have been alive and paying attention this last 3 to 7 years, you are ready. In fact, some of you are ready and stronger than you have ever been. Look after yourselves in whatever way that resonates with you. {snip}

…And your job is to be the best you that you can at this time on earth that you're alive. That’s all. It’s a simple focus. But it's a focus that most of you can easily be distracted out of. The trick is not to let yourselves get distracted. Many of you are doing a fine job with this now. Lean into that more.

Sometimes things are imperfectly stated? Or it can mean we’re all here at this time for specific reasons. Some are out there large and loud while others leave no foot print to those whose eyes don’t see.

Or it can mean that all to often too much time is spent on the non-stop horrors. They are a drain on our spirit. Make time to do what brings you pleasure and peace of mind.

This is my dream and always has been. May it be so.....


Incendance: Our Soul Fire Dances. We choose the mastery experience of living Life in Unity of Mind, Body and Soul.
From Unity As ONE to Diversity as MANY, Incendance invites us: move Within and Ignite the Joy of Self Appreciation and Expression; move Without and Alight in the Dance of the World around us.
INCEND AH IN SEE, I see from inside my Self. Soul-fully in the present, fully in the body; moving gracefully in one's acceptance of our response-ability for our experience. This is an empowered place to be with the world in harmony.

I think of Incendance as bringing the fire (Incendiary quality of passion and power of creation) within (Incending) and then allowing this expression into our Life. Incendance is dancing within our inner heart flame and this warmth and sparkling energy reflects out into our world.

Where does the name Incendance originate? The idea is an AH HA from Ken Page's work:

"INscension™ is being fully present in our bodies with conscious awareness.
Our purpose here on Earth is not about ascension. We probably got caught up in dissension while trying to achieve ascension and now the only way out is INscension. Until we are fully present and conscious here on Earth we are not going anywhere else. Why or how could we move on if we haven't yet mastered this dimension?" (Ken Page)

Incendance is a community of Friends.

Nonlocally we share a common recognition of Possibility! When we embrace our Lives with love and appreciation, focus attention on being Creator and release our fear, the Soul Fire is ignited. Our lives quicken and we In-Joy the dance of OUR experience.

We create and share the desire to be more full and abundant as individuals and a collective. Would you like to teach something, learn something, create and share? Then you are in Incendance.

Our mission is to attract creators, healers, programs and services whose purpose is self discovery and Self appreciation. Our vision is of an eclectic community supporting change from within. We will be exploring tools of sacred technology that benefit us as a whole and as individuals, performers, artists, healers.
The intention is being Soul-full individuals within community.

Thank You for considering the ways this vision might touch yours! Please link with us and be in touch.

I wrote this in 2007 when I had a small community "center" where we did have a few really meaningful events. Now I feel it may be time to appear again in my life. What strikes me most however is that there are so many MORE people who grok now that every "thing" comes into form from within.

Thoughts are things.

Profoundly true, as the inevitable outcome from such a dark era, for any genuine 'truth seeker'.

There's another duality layer ahead of us. It's a dispute about that inner source.

Is it where our hot-line to God comes in, or can we claim it as our individual ego self's ?

[Harmony]

I think this is something many think about. So far, for me I feel we can be an individuated self that let's go of what we no longer need, the experiences that served a great purpose, where we understand what acceptance, forgiveness, compassion. love can trully mean. We have a choice to become more responsible with the embodiment of more of our God Self, expressed through our unique individual self.

The world with good results - or ill.

That which we call our secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.

It is God's law. Remember it
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have known,
And yet made comrades when alone.

These thoughts have life; and they will fly
And leave their impress by-and-by,
Like some marsh breeze, whose poisoned breath
Breathes into homes its fevered breath.

And after you have quite forgot
Or all outgrown some vanished thought,
Back to your mind to make its home,
A dove or raven, it will come.

Then let your secret thoughts be fair;
They have a vital part and share
In shaping worlds and moulding fate --
God's system is so intricate.”

― Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Born: November 5, 1850, Johnstown, WI

What strikes me most however is that there are so many MORE people who grok now that every "thing" comes into form from within.

Thoughts are things.

Profoundly true, as the inevitable outcome from such a dark era, for any genuine 'truth seeker'.

There's another duality layer ahead of us. It's a dispute about that inner source.

Is it where our hot-line to God comes in, or can we claim it as our individual ego self's ?

Hi Norman,

When I approach the ego/soul in a relationship to God, a paradox is that "I" have an ego and a soul expression that could be blended into a "body" of experience (like a Body of work of an author)BE CAUSE of the hot-line to God. If BOTH are not in my experience working together in life creation, it is missing the mark and has little power.

I truly believe that what the adversary did best of all is thrust us into a false polarity where "god" is replaced by "the mind" of the predator. In this false polarity it is "I" (ego who is separated from soul) and the SYSTEM (which IMO exists over a vast astral realm of the Adversary) calling itself our"inner source'. IMO.

[norman]

I don't want to be too hard on NewAgers because many have been the best cooks I've ever known.

But, the paradox workarounds they come up with to make gratitude and self empowerment coexist are too comical to take seriously.

And that's on my good days.

When I've had a day of hearing about the theosophists, it's not even funny any more.

Alice's Restaurant Massacree

Alice's Restaurant Massacree
Song by Arlo Guthrie




This song is called Alice's Restaurant, and it's about Alice, and the
restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant is not the name of the restaurant,
that's just the name of the song, and that's why I called the song Alice's
Restaurant.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago, was on - two years ago on
Thanksgiving, when my friend and I went up to visit Alice at the
restaurant, but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives in the
church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray and
Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower like that, they got a lot of
room downstairs where the pews used to be in. Havin' all that room,
seein' as how they took out all the pews, they decided that they didn't
have to take out their garbage for a long time.

We got up there, we found all the garbage in there, and we decided it'd be
a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. So
we took the half a ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red VW
microbus, took shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed
on toward the city dump.

Well we got there and there was a big sign and a chain across across the
dump saying, "Closed on Thanksgiving." And we had never heard of a dump
closed on Thanksgiving before, and with tears in our eyes we drove off
into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage.

We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the side of the
side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of the
cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided that one big pile
is better than two little piles, and rather than bring that one up we
decided to throw our's down.

That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a thanksgiving
dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't get up until the
next morning, when we got a phone call from officer Obie. He said, "Kid,
we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of
garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any information about it." And
I said, "Yes, sir, Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie, I put that envelope
under that garbage."

After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone we
finally arrived at the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down
and pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him at the
police officer's station. So we got in the red VW microbus with the
shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and headed on toward the
police officer's station.

Now friends, there was only one or two things that Obie coulda done at
the police station, and the first was he could have given us a medal for
being so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very likely, and
we didn't expect it, and the other thing was he could have bawled us out
and told us never to be see driving garbage around the vicinity again,
which is what we expected, but when we got to the police officer's station
there was a third possibility that we hadn't even counted upon, and we was
both immediately arrested. Handcuffed. And I said "Obie, I don't think I
can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." He said, "Shut up, kid.
Get in the back of the patrol car."

And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and drove to the
quote Scene of the Crime unquote. I want tell you about the town of
Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where this happened here, they got three stop
signs, two police officers, and one police car, but when we got to the
Scene of the Crime there was five police officers and three police cars,
being the biggest crime of the last fifty years, and everybody wanted to
get in the newspaper story about it. And they was using up all kinds of
cop equipment that they had hanging around the police officer's station.
They was taking plaster tire tracks, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and
they took twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each
one was to be used as evidence against us. Took pictures of the approach,
the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not to
mention the aerial photography.

After the ordeal, we went back to the jail. Obie said he was going to put
us in the cell. Said, "Kid, I'm going to put you in the cell, I want your
wallet and your belt." And I said, "Obie, I can understand you wanting my
wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but what do you
want my belt for?" And he said, "Kid, we don't want any hangings." I
said, "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for littering?"
Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause he took out the
toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and drown, and he took
out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars roll out the - roll the
toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll and have an escape. Obie
was making sure, and it was about four or five hours later that Alice
(remember Alice? It's a song about Alice), Alice came by and with a few
nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back
to the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat,
and didn't get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.
We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty seven eight-by-ten
colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back
of each one, sat down. Man came in said, "All rise." We all stood up,
and Obie stood up with the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures, and the judge walked in sat down with a seeing eye dog, and he
sat down, we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the
twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows
and a paragraph on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.
And then at twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures with circles
and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry,
'cause Obie came to the realization that it was a typical case of American
blind justice, and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the
judge wasn't going to look at the twenty seven eight-by-ten colour glossy
pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each
one explaining what each one was to be used as evidence against us. And
we was fined $50 and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, but thats not
what I came to tell you about.

Came to talk about the draft.

They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street,
where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected,
neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination one
day, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so
I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. 'Cause I wanted to
look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wanted
to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York,
and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all
kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gave
me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the psychiatrist, room 604."

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill. I mean, I wanna, I
wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and
guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill,
KILL, KILL." And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL, " and
he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down
yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me,
sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy."
Didn't feel too good about it.

Proceeded on down the hall gettin more injections, inspections,
detections, neglections and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to me
at the thing there, and I was there for two hours, three hours, four
hours, I was there for a long time going through all kinds of mean nasty
ugly things and I was just having a tough time there, and they was
inspecting, injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving no
part untouched. Proceeded through, and when I finally came to the see the
last man, I walked in, walked in sat down after a whole big thing there,
and I walked up and said, "What do you want?" He said, "Kid, we only got
one question. Have you ever been arrested?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the Alice's Restaurant Massacre,
with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and all
the phenome... - and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, did you ever
go to court?"

And I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty seven eight-by-ten
colour glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on
the back of each one, and he stopped me right there and said, "Kid, I want
you to go and sit down on that bench that says Group W ... NOW kid!!"
And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's
where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after
committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly
looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And
they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest
father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly
'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me
and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
$50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench
there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,
and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,
father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the
bench. And everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of
things, until the Sargeant came over, had some paper in his hand, held it
up and said.

"Kids, this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-words-we-wanna-
know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-
you-gotta-say-pertaining-to-and-about-the-crime-I-want-to-know-arresting-
officer's-name-and-any-other-kind-of-thing-you-gotta-say", and talked for
forty-five minutes and nobody understood a word that he said, but we had
fun filling out the forms and playing with the pencils on the bench there,
and I filled out the massacre with the four part harmony, and wrote it
down there, just like it was, and everything was fine and I put down the
pencil, and I turned over the piece of paper, and there, there on the
other side, in the middle of the other side, away from everything else on
the other side, in parentheses, capital letters, quotated, read the
following words:

I went over to the sargent, said, "Sargeant, you got a lot a damn gall to
ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean, I mean that just, I'm
sittin' here on the bench, I mean I'm sittin here on the Group W bench
'cause you want to know if I'm moral enough join the army, burn women,
kids, houses and villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me and
said, "Kid, we don't like your kind, and we're gonna send you fingerprints
off to Washington."

And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little folder, is a
study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the only reason I'm
singing you this song now is cause you may know somebody in a similar
situation, or you may be in a similar situation, and if your in a
situation like that there's only one thing you can do and that's walk into
the shrink wherever you are, just walk in say "Shrink, You can get
anything you want, at Alice's restaurant.". And walk out. You know, if
one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and
they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them.
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice's Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

And that's what it is, the Alice's Restaurant Anti-Massacre Movement, and
all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it come's around on the
guitar.

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and
sing it when it does. Here it comes.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud.
I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing it
for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.

So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part
harmony and feeling.
We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.

All right now.

You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Excepting Alice
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want, at Alice's Restaurant

For as long as the Biden gov' officially stays on the record, all the people Biden pardoned can still be called in to testify about their crimes and they will not be able to plead the 5th.

I watch a few different youtube channels where they help people. It's nice to see good things happen to people, especially those who deserve it. This particular channel is about a Russian man named Vasya who helps his fellow Russian folks who are in need. Check out his channel (https://www.youtube.com/@vasyainthehay), all his videos are great. The man is a saint. In this video he helps a young gal who lives in poverty and has cerebral palsy. What I like about this girl is she is so positive, has the brightest smile you've ever seen and never complains. She's adorable. There are several videos with her, in this one Vasya asks her what she wants. She wanted to do a makeover type thing so hair, makeup, etc. She loved it, check it out:

I wanted to share a helpful tip that I use often online: Whenever you text wall a reply or something you want to post on the net, copy it first before submitting it. This can be done in less than 2 seconds. Just press ctrl+A (this selects all text) then ctrl+C (copies selected text) and your set. If what you're posting doesn't go through, just paste everything you copied into wordpad/notepad/libreoffice/microsoft word/google docs/whatever you prefer by pressing ctrl+V (paste whatever was previously copied).

Another installment of my interesting Ecuador roadside encounters. But this time, the road wasn't there at all. :ROFL:

https://avalonlibrary.net/Bill/collapsed_road_sm.jpg

Not major enough for the Wild Weather thread (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?92384-Weird-wild-weather-floods-freak-storms-giant-hail-record-lows-all-over-the-world)! But this was just a couple miles from my house, on the road I drive down several times a week, sometimes in the early morning dark and fog. :worried:

In 2024 Ecuador had a record 150 day drought, but that ended suddenly with a heavy rainy season that started early and will last till June. It wasn't a bridge that collapsed... it was a tiny stream/creek that flowed through a pipe under the road, like a storm drain. But this time the storm destroyed the entire thing.

(Global warning no, but Climate Change for sure)

Looks very scary to me if you came on it unaware....so happy that wasn't the case!Anther scary thing that happened. :worried: This is about Mara, my dog who hikes with me in the high mountains amazingly well but is 12 years old now and is 100% blind.

~~~

Here's the river just 100 yds from my house. It's swollen from all the recent rain, but not in full flood.

https://avalonlibrary.net/Bill/swollen_river_22_Feb_2025.mp4

Yesterday morning, I woke to find Mara on her bed as usual, but strangely soaking wet from head to tail. Usually she leaps up to greet me (excited about her breakfast!), but this time she didn't move.

She seemed exhausted, anxious and unhappy. She refused to eat, and slept all day. I noticed that sometimes she was shivering or shaking, but I assumed she was just cold. I closed all the doors and windows and turned the heater on.

I figured that she'd been out in the rain overnight (I keep the door open for her to come and go), and had maybe been wandering around for a little too long in the very wet long grass.

But then it gradually occurred to me that it hadn't actually rained overnight. So I 'asked' her what on earth had happened.
I fell in the river, she 'told' me.
No wonder she was soaked, exhausted and stressed. :heart: She must have been swept downstream for a while until reaching the river bend in the distance at the end of the short video, where she was probably able to claw her way up the bank. Then somehow she made her way home, even if she had to cross the river again (but there's a bridge 100 yds upstream, so that might have been the way).

This morning, she's all back to normal, and had a big breakfast. Her thick coat is still a little wet. Tomorrow we'll go to the mountains, and it'll be interesting to see if she's still just as happy as she always is with all the running water she encounters there.
:happy dog:

[wondering]

Wow! It would seem that Mara is related to cats somewhere down the line..9 lives for sure. What a life she leads.

I couldn't find a thread for this and didn't want to start a new one for a small subject so I'll ask here.

Question for my fellow gardeners. What is going after my daisies? With Spring approaching they're flowering multiple big, bright, beautiful flowers. However just this morning I noticed something is destroying them! I've never seen this before and I've been growing these for years. Only the flowers were targeted, not the leaves. The stems of the flowers were cleanly cut and the flowers on the ground and torn apart. Like imagine picking a daisy, plucking half the petals and tossing it on the ground. That's what it looks like. I have not idea what's doing this.

There's marks in the ground indicating possums were here but I've never seen them mess with my flowers.

EDIT: Oh and for what it's worth this is in my back yard so this wasn't done by humans.
Can anyone help with this one? Thanks in advance!

[Harmony]

Hi Strat, it very well could be possums that try out your daisies for flavour and goodness. I also have seen some of the different kinds of birds in the crow family and parrot family also chop the flowers or fern fronds at the stem. I am not sure what kinds of birds or possums you have there in the USA, but they could be similar.


On my property I have, most of it is left for the native wildlife and a small part fenced with an electric wire around the top of the fruit and vegetable garden to keep out the possums. It doesn't hurt the possum but it gives them an uncomfortable shock and they learn not to go near it. I do love possums and have reared quite a few baby possums after their mums were killed on the roads. They do have a very playful nature, are the best acrobats in the world and can figure out 20 moves ahead of how to get to where they are going in a split second.

Stefan Burns: “…a brand new cycle through the zodiac in 2025 highlighting the connection between the physical body and physical reality and the spiritual body and spiritual dimensions and so that is one reason why when we have these big energy increases a lot of people feel these very strongly with different physical symptoms and there is an integration that is needed to come to terms with these energies and the energy information that they provide the upgrade to consciousness that they offer you.

When there's big changes to the Schumann Resonance not only can it trigger actual health and wellness symptoms like pain inflammation, fatigue, disrupted sleep, circadian rhythm alterations, gastrointestinal problems, stomach problems, headaches, brain fog, but also you're now having greater connection to the collective consciousness and all the energy information contain within them.


The entire energy field across our plant that is stable and consistent, and we evolved within this for millions and millions of years and that is why scientist theories we have these very strong overlaps and connections to these energy field, and some scientist, even believe like myself that we interact these fields on a level of consciousness as well, not just bio-electrically, but that they actually could be a collective consciousness information network.

We are all human transmitters not only energy information balls of consciousness, but also receivers. We receive this energy. And a lot of our consciousness is actually more receptive than people realize. So these are produced naturally by the planet. We have light radiation coming in from the sun, creating the global electric circuit within drives all these different atmospheric and physical processes which maintains this stable energy information field, which we evolve in, which we connect to, which can undergo significant changes when there are big energetic events unfolding on the planet. Also it seems they're connected to planetary resonances.

Multiple powerful waves of energy have rippled through the Schumann resonances in additional to geomagnetic pulsations, spectral resonance structures, and a G4 geomagnetic storm, all of them combining to awaken the latent psychic abilities of all those who felt them. 2025 will be a year of great spiritual mastery.

I couldn't find a thread for this and didn't want to start a new one for a small subject so I'll ask here.

Question for my fellow gardeners. What is going after my daisies? With Spring approaching they're flowering multiple big, bright, beautiful flowers. However just this morning I noticed something is destroying them! I've never seen this before and I've been growing these for years. Only the flowers were targeted, not the leaves. The stems of the flowers were cleanly cut and the flowers on the ground and torn apart. Like imagine picking a daisy, plucking half the petals and tossing it on the ground. That's what it looks like. I have not idea what's doing this.

There's marks in the ground indicating possums were here but I've never seen them mess with my flowers.

EDIT: Oh and for what it's worth this is in my back yard so this wasn't done by humans.
Can anyone help with this one? Thanks in advance!

Gday Strat
I have a bearded dragon (lizard) and she loves daisys, i dont know what type of lizards you have in the US, but it could be a reptile, but it seems abit weird how your daisys are "clean cut" , i dont understand that.
Usually i pick a bunch of daisys and put them in her enclosure, sometimes ill take her out onto my front yard where there are lots of daisys, she will snap them off and will eat 20 flowers or so, but then sometimes she will continue to pick the daisys but wont actually eat them, she leaves them just laying around, dunno why she does this and dunno if this helps you with your daisy problem, but maybe check for reptiles.

I might aswell bring this up here regarding my lizard, called Lizzy lol, anyway ive had her more than 15yrs and i built a large enclosure for her in my backyard, but the other day i saw her actually drinking water from her little pool.
She loves the water and often goes there to do poo, her head and front legs are in the shallow end and her rear end floats around in the deeper end, and thats when she does a poo, but the other day i saw her in her pool drinking, i dont know why she was drinking the water cause she gets her water from the foods she eats, worms, crickets, cockroaches and flowers etc, hope this isnt a sign of her getting old and tired, if anyone knows why a reptile would "drink" the water please let me know........... cheers RRR

I experienced my death in a lucid dream. I watched myself leave the body like a sweaty palm print evaporates off a chalkboard. It was a blessing that I woke right after so I was able to recall.

It’s been three days since and the dream still pops up at random times. And each time I am brought to a state of peace. I’m able to see if only briefly that all is as it is. I’m less burdened by things I’m not meant to change.

There was an ease to the process because I welcomed and willed it. I understood it was my choice. The joy and understanding encouraged me to be totally present. I soaked it in from start to finish; a welcomed release of all concerns.

I had the foresight to leave a smile on my face so others would know how delightful the transition is. :heart:

Thanks for sharing such a profound experience Paula. :heart: When I was a child I left my body during an NDE and it was strange how easily one is simply out of the body and totally free of fear as that comes from the body system itself. But I am glad I was able to stay longer and finish my life as there has been so much to learn and realise, but when the time comes to transition I know it just happens effortlessly and we become more.:star:

Hi Strat, it very well could be possums that try out your daisies for flavour and goodness. I also have seen some of the different kinds of birds in the crow family and parrot family also chop the flowers or fern fronds at the stem. I am not sure what kinds of birds or possums you have there in the USA, but they could be similar.
Interesting, learn something every day lol. Regarding birds we have lots of different kinds where I live. I haven't seen them go after the daisies but I wouldn't doubt it, thanks for the heads up. I'll set up one of my security cams and see if I can catch the culprit.

I've never seen that and wouldn't have guessed but I believe you. I once saw a turtle snacking on my kale and that was cool! I wanted to keep him as a pet but that didn't seem right. I let him go free and allowed him to get fat off my kale.

Howdy!
Where I live we have the small lizards like the anole (tons of them!). Further south there are (what I think are) bearded dragons as an invasive species. I don't understand the clean cut stems either, it's weird, like someone took scissors. It hasn't happened since my post. However on a side note what else is weird is a few nights after my post, something removed/ate every single 'head' on my venus fly trap! That is so weird. Maybe some insect wanted revenge :bigsmile: The fly trap has been pretty beat up from winter and this made me nervous it could be a nail in the coffin but it seems to have bounced back.

I like Lizzy! Hope everything is well with her.

Dunno Strat, could a rabbit make a clean cut on your daisies, good set of teeth on em, but i woulda thought they would eat the flower.
Lizzy is doin fine for an old girl, she has slowed down alot the poor thing.
Ive never seen a venus flytrap, it would be great to see one in action........:thumbsup:

[Victoria]

Strat,

Your garden culprits might possibly be rats, or mice. From the description of the flowers being clipped cleanly, that would be my guess.

Rabbits do this too but are indiscriminate about taking only the tops. They typically eat everything in sight and within their reach unless interrupted while chewing.

Rats love to gather flowers such as dandelions, daisies, chamomile and cactus flowers (as well as the cactus pads) for their treat stashes. When they do, they often bite the flower tops off precisely and nibble just a few of the heads apart at the site to taste before carrying more back to the nest. Mice will do this, too, with a little less elegance because of their tiny size, and more frequently eat right there.

The stems and leaves of daisies taste bitter, which they don't like, but the flowers are apparently delicious. It's fun to see them carrying chosen delectables, because they often run upright on their hind legs like little people, while holding their treasures in their tiny hands, just above their heads or out in front of them. (Not unlike cartoons.)

Also, this website lends an idea of everything they might have a taste for in your garden: https://www.four-paws.org/our-stories/publications-guides/healthy-nutrition-for-your-pet-mice

Each fall and spring we have little orphaned mice, squirrels and pack rats to raise and release again, along with snakes, lizards, rabbits and baby birds brought in by the other animals. The rodents LOVE all the fresh, new flowers and buds that are still tender...everything a gardener tries to protect.

RatRodRob- Your bearded dragon is gorgeous! :sun:

[Strat]

You may be right however I think I caught the culprit today in broad daylight. It's the damn squirrels!

They are quite the nuisance around here. They are literally fat from the 'all you can eat' squirrel buffet that is my backyard. At the moment it's not problematic as I still have plenty of flowers when looking out my backdoor. I just hope it stays that way. They never bothered my veggies like cherry tomatoes and they do other folks in my neighborhood so it's weird that they suddenly started doing this.

This is a good excuse to get a cat lol.

[Jaak]

Maybe start putting some food out for the squirrels so they will leave your plants alone ? Could help .
Like in the old days villages had so called sacrifice stones where you would go and put food for the animals so they would not come look for some in the village .

I like the idea but they already have more food available to them that they could possibly eat. They eat a little bit of everything. I guess they're becoming picky eaters lol.

Next problem is figuring out how to keep the snails from eating up the angle trumpets which are my favorite flower.

Best talk i've heard in years, by far

best talk i've heard in years, by far
dr. Osmanagich just gets better and better.
This could be posted in so many different threads because dr. Osmanagich covered so many important subjects:
...from why the pyramids were built and how they provide healing, purification and energy
...and how they communicate with the rest of the universe
...to his experience with ai and his conclusions
...from how and why the truth about our history and so much else is being hidden
...to his work with akashic record readers
...and much, much more.
I was thinking about going to see dr. Osmanagich speak at the ozark ufo conference, but i just didn't feel like being in a crowd today.
But listening to this talk from 8 months ago was a tremendously good substitute.

I know we have music threads here, but I'm putting this here because it's more here and now'ish than purely music for me. It's kind of a revelation actually. I've been listening all day to it. It's what you might call a "bad ass" song. Zeppelin at their testosterone laden best. I only wish I was cruising in Paula's brother's Mustang as I've been listening. I might just feel like Steve McQueen for a few mins:)

The song is called Nobody's Fault But Mine:

How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Brother he showed me the gong
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong
How to kick that gong to life
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Got a monkey on my back
The m-m-m-m-monkey on my back, back, back, back
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

My brother refurbish a 1969 Mustang to it’s original condition. He stripped it down completely. He even took apart the gas tank and gas line, and gutted the doors and windows and reupholstered the seats. IIRC, the thing that took the most time was to find an original a gas cap.

As soon as I opened the door I was hit with that old car smell and memories of yesteryear.

We went to town to run some errands. A few guys came over to have a look and share their stories each stop we made. Most were 50-70 year old guys.

Before the Mustang, he refurbished a Vespa. That was also an impeccable piece of work.

I miss Art Bell. This past week as I've been working I have been listening to past shows he did. So much fun! And it's interesting to listen to them now. I'm older and my perspective has changed as I have grown and my perspective changed. However I like his shows as much now as I did then. They also have a sort of nostalgia for me.

Brings me back to the days before everyone had a computer and while the internet existed nobody heard of it. So back then there weren't a lot of places where you heard stories about UFO's, ghosts, etc. And since the show came on late at night that added to the sort of 'feel' of the show.

Good times.

Warning: Shameless brag below, but in my defense it was out of financial necessity. Seen in another way, it was an opportunity to hone in on creative solutions, work through what ifs?, bust through fear, continue to build upon the foundation for greater life challenges that come my way.




I use to change my oil and filter on my Toyota Starlet. There was a grease pit in the car port where I rented. When I unscrewed the drain plug, it dropped into the pit due to the force of the oil flow. And ultimately it was due to me not paying attention. Grrrr! I fished around in the oily gunk and decided I’d pay someone to change it from then on.



I use to change the plugs, points and condenser on my Volvo and one time I replaced the alternator.



I replaced the front brakes on my WV Beetle.


And today? I hardly recognize what’s under the hood. There’s a reason for that and it isn’t just because of better technology.

Thanks for posting that!

And that's great you can work on your own cars! I am a capitalist but I don't live like one, fixing my own stuff is part of my philosophy. Also I find it very cathartic. At the moment I'm finishing up replacing the entire suspension and brakes on my truck and it's nice. I get out in the sun, listen to Art Bell or podcasts or music, drinks some tea and just work. Gardening has a the same appeal to me. Some think of it as work but for me it's very relaxing.

Why don't ya come on over and turn wrenches with me! :biggrin: I also bought a hibiscus yesterday that needs transplanting after the weeds are taken care of. First day from the store and she's got a big, bright, beautiful flower. I'd say I like it as much as the angel trumpet but let's not get crazy.

Hey mike how ya goin.
I grew up with Led Zeppelin, loved that band, so many great songs, but i have to say that i might have heard that only once many yrs ago and had forgotten it, till now, thanx man for the memory.
Funny thing is that i heard an old AC/DC song for the very first time a couple of months ago, my eldest son put me on to it, its called "Down Payment Blues", and ide never heard it before and im 65 yrs old and have listened to AC/DC since i was a young fella.
Its a great song, great guitar work from Mal and Angus, Bons awesome voice and punchy bass and drums, here it is.

I know we have music threads here, but I'm putting this here because it's more here and now'ish than purely music for me. It's kind of a revelation actually. I've been listening all day to it. It's what you might call a "bad ass" song. Zeppelin at their testosterone laden best. I only wish I was cruising in Paula's brother's Mustang as I've been listening. I might just feel like Steve McQueen for a few mins:)

The song is called Nobody's Fault But Mine:
9_kqkZTZYrg




Oh, nobody's fault but mine, yeah
Nobody's fault but mine, yeah
Trying to save my soul to light
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Devil he told me to roll
The devil he told me to roll-oll-oll, oh
How to roll the log tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

Brother he showed me the gong
Brother he showed me the ding dong ding dong
How to kick that gong to life
Oh, it's nobody's fault but mine

Got a monkey on my back
The m-m-m-m-monkey on my back, back, back, back
Gonna change my ways tonight
Nobody's fault but mine

How to kick that gong to light
N-n-n-n-n-n-nobody's fault

My brother refurbish a 1969 Mustang to it’s original condition. He stripped it down completely. He even took apart the gas tank and gas line, and gutted the doors and windows and reupholstered the seats. IIRC, the thing that took the most time was to find an original a gas cap.

As soon as I opened the door I was hit with that old car smell and memories of yesteryear.

We went to town to run some errands. A few guys came over to have a look and share their stories each stop we made. Most were 50-70 year old guys.

Before the Mustang, he refurbished a Vespa. That was also an impeccable piece of work.

Beautiful Stang RunningDeer, Bro did a grand resto on that baby, when it comes to US cars im a Chev/Mopar guy but that Stang looks just awesome, a 69 stang too. To me 1969 was the best yr for US muscle, 69 Camaro, 69 Vette, 69 Pontiac, 69 Buick GS400, etc etc , 69 was the best for me....................................... RRR

I love it! I had a 66 for a while that I fixed up. I like how your bro kept it stock, no power brakes and I'm guessing drums up front. That's a beautiful piece of Americana.

Reminds me of this in a way lol https://x.com/i/status/1849808689785364896

I miss Art Bell. This past week as I've been working I have been listening to past shows he did. So much fun! And it's interesting to listen to them now. I'm older and my perspective has changed as I have grown and my perspective changed. However I like his shows as much now as I did then. They also have a sort of nostalgia for me.

Brings me back to the days before everyone had a computer and while the internet existed nobody heard of it. So back then there weren't a lot of places where you heard stories about UFO's, ghosts, etc. And since the show came on late at night that added to the sort of 'feel' of the show.

Good times.

Hi Strat, i think the 69 stang had discs up front and drums at the rear.

Do you remember the caller on Art Bells show where he sounded completely scared, he was worried that "they" would find him by triangulating his location, i think he said he was kicked out of a fascility at Groom Lake, may have been Area 51 but cant remember, the caller could have BSing, but he sounded so convincing that i really dont know what to think, but Art certainly was a good nights listen to..................................

Howdy! You may be right about the Mustang. When did they start adding power brakes? Maybe it was optional? Those old cars are fun but original out of the factory they are dangerous as hell lol! The one I had was shoddy I sold it pretty soon after I bought it, it was somewhat of an impulse buy. Somewhat unrelated but I think '69 was the best year for American muscle cars.

Are you a truck guy at all? If so do you have a favorite?

I'm familiar with that episode, I listened to it just the other day. Well, it was Art and someone else reflecting on it and they played the original recording. I don't particularly believe the guy for a variety of reasons, I would need something more than his word.

I think it was in 69 that stangs got disc breaks up front, what do you mean by "truck", in Australia a truck is like a kenworth etc, i think in the US a truck can be like a Dodge ram, we prolly think of a ram as a "ute", When it comes to trucks in Aus, i like long nose, not cabovers.

In Aus we used to make our own cars, Australia had the worlds fastest 4 door family car with the Ford Falcon XY GTHO.
Our entire auto industry fell apart over the last 20 yrs, Like you were saying our cars back then were all about style and power but were very dangerous in an accident.

Exactly what form could $150,000,000,000,000 take? Gold? US greenbacks? A stash of diamonds?

And how do you bring 150 trillion dollars into the markets without a total breakdown of the monetary system.

You cannot dump that kind of money into the world economy without disastrous results.

4) The UK puppet masters 'out' Starmer.

I was tempted to put this in my thread of what would you tell your younger self but I'd rather not. Sometimes it's nice to put these self reflections out and have them buried. Anyway...

I really ****ed up in my youth. I was obsessed with being an athlete at a high level and I didn't know that there wasn't a chance in hell of that happening. I just don't have what it takes. I'm better than the average person at football but nowhere near what it takes to go pro. But I was obsessed, I worked so hard and failed. It sucked. I also planned on joining the military but after my health **** the bed at 16 that wasn't an option. I considered fighting (this was generally pre-UFC days) but that didn't really grab my interest too much and after I was diagnosed with neurological disorders I figured I shouldn't be taking more shots to the head. I don't think I'd be allowed either, who's going to sanction that?

I really should've been a physicist or mechanical engineer. My mother caught this at an early age, she bought me a science book and I really enjoyed it. I really screwed that one up but I guess it's just part of my life's story. Is what it is, no sense in crying about it. It's just that when I watch the rocket launches I feel a little pain of regret. That could've been me working on rockets. I like technology, I like science, I like building things that other people admire. I want to be part of the new frontiers, not building things solely to make a buck and/or bragging rights. I shouldn't think this way and I'll get over it. I count my blessings and I've got a great life now, but sometimes the demons come around and press my buttons. At the end of the day what's done is done, life moves on.

Strat- Our labs are always looking for new talent and it's never too late to go back to school. Literally. If you have time and a way to do it, and actually want to, do! I have a friend who decided to start school at 47 with a family and full time job. It took forever, but by 56 she had her doctorate. It is possible and the beauty of taking classes later in life is you actually know what you want and can set the schedule the way you need it. :sunrise:

I use to change my oil and filter on my Toyota Starlet. There was a grease pit in the car port where I rented. When I unscrewed the drain plug, it dropped into the pit due to the force of the oil flow. And ultimately it was due to me not paying attention. Grrrr! I fished around in the oily gunk and decided I’d pay someone to change it from then on.

Long long ago, when I was 19, I had a summer job working aa a porter at the local hospital. One of my jobs was to empty the swill bins. One day, my watch strap broke and my watch fell right into all the hospital swill.

It was in there somewhere, but I just couldn't bring myself to search for it. I bought a new watch. :ROFL:

[Mark (Star Mariner)]

Similarly:

I went jet-skiing once in Mexico. I'd never done it before, but it looked like fun. It was actually more fun than it looked: I had a hell of a time. Except for one small mishap. After making a smooth turn to do another run, I opened the throttle all the way. Max speed! The wind rushing by was tremendous -- so strong, in fact, it blew my shades clean off my face. No ordinary pair of sunglasses either, they'd cost me $100. They flew into water where they promptly sank, never to be seen again.

Edit: I assume they sank, I never went back to check.

I just came across this moutaineering report: (https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2025/4/3/prescriptionhape-hace)
In May 2023 on Denali’s West Buttress route, a 24-year-old climber from Colorado succumbed to severe high altitude cerebral edema (HACE) and high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) after a rapid ascent from 7,200 to 14,200 feet in just 36 hours.
~~~

I do pretty much this every 2 or 3 days with my 12-year old dog Mara, surely the best and most experienced mountain dog in the world. I drive half the altitude gain (quite fast!), and we hike the rest. We do it all in a morning every time, leaving early and returning for lunch. (Maybe we're in better shape than I'd realized... :P)

:flower:

[ThePythonicCow]

after a rapid ascent from 7,200 to 14,200 feet in just 36 hours.
Quite a few times, when I lived in Denver, Colorado, I would drive from that "mile high city" (5280 feet) to the top of one of the nearby peaks over 14,000 feet ... just an hour or two drive in my BMW 530, back in the days when I (and my well paid, most excellent, engine mechanic) had more money and I drove faster, with nary a gasp from my car's engine or my (back then) well trained long distance lungs. Those were the days ...

Sad. Only 24, and from Colorado, where he likely climbed a lot.
When I asked google, AI said this:

Myocarditis and pericarditis can lead to pulmonary edema, a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs, and less frequently, cerebral edema, swelling in the brain. Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, can impair the heart's pumping ability, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema) or brain. Pericarditis, inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, can restrict the heart's movement and also lead to fluid buildup, including in the lungs.


Wonder if this 24-year-old was actually covid-vax injured, but easily blamed on the high altitude.
:hmm:

[cascadian]

You may have a point Sue (Ayt). HACE and HAPE are not common conditions below 15,000 ft elevation above MSL.

It is possible and the beauty of taking classes later in life is you actually know what you want and can set the schedule the way you need it. :sunrise:


Thanks. My mom has been somewhat gently trying to push me in this direction. I don't know what I'm going to do but for now I'm going to keep going down the road I'm on because life is great. I have to do some soul searching before I commit to something like that.

Unrelated to that but I'm going to change the way I post on Avalon. I think deep but I post shallow and that needs to change. My problem now is that I'm too wordy in a sense. I'm typing up a reply for a thread (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?124216-Which-country-makes-the-best-products)I made and it's 3 pages long. I like that I'm getting my thoughts out but I'm not sure how well it'll be received because it's just so damn long. :worried:

Here and now ..just listened to a really funny female stand up comic. Which is quite rare, let's be honest.

Her name is Leonarda Jonie, and she spares NOBODY. To say she is vigorously anti-woke would be an understatement. She's out there letting it fly, and not giving one single f#ck. I can't believe I haven't heard of her till now. The video heading is MOST BANNED COMEDIAN, and having dug into her background a little, it's true. Even in the era of Trump she's having some difficulty with the cancel culture brigade.

She won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I view what she symbolizes as being far more important than her comedy. She couldn't have even existed a couple years ago.

13 minutes long. The video poster offers his 2 cents in small bits in the beginning, which is annoying, but the rest of the video plays mostly uninterrupted:

i just came across this moutaineering report: (https://americanalpineclub.org/news/2025/4/3/prescriptionhape-hace)
in may 2023 on denali’s west buttress route, a 24-year-old climber from colorado succumbed to severe high altitude cerebral edema (hace) and high altitude pulmonary edema (hape) after a rapid ascent from 7,200 to 14,200 feet in just 36 hours.
~~~



sad. Only 24, and from colorado, where he likely climbed a lot.
When i asked google, ai said this:

myocarditis and pericarditis can lead to pulmonary edema, a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs, and less frequently, cerebral edema, swelling in the brain. Myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, can impair the heart's pumping ability, leading to fluid buildup in the lungs (pulmonary edema) or brain. Pericarditis, inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart, can restrict the heart's movement and also lead to fluid buildup, including in the lungs.


wonder if this 24-year-old was actually covid-vax injured, but easily blamed on the high altitude.
:hmm:
