Here and Now...What's Happening?

As for sun gazing myself, I tried, but it's not regular enough. On my walks, I keep my sunglass off for a little while. I've got blue-green eyes, so there's sensitivity to light. (so I've read, hard to know any different)

And there's the vanity thing, if I'm squinting, then I'm adding to the map that's writing itself onto my face.

I like to sun-gaze. I started doing it with my lady Sira over a year ago. We would sit out on the back porch in the evenings and watch when the sun was nearing the horizon. We quickly found out there was a big difference in how we each were able to do it.

She has light blue eyes, I have dark brown. She can watch the sun when it is late in the evening and close to sunset, I can watch it generally from late afternoon to sunset. When we go out during the day she complains of her eyes hurting if she doesn't wear sunglasses and she can't look at the sky at all. Sometimes I find it hard to look if it is a particularly bright day but it's not near impossible to look at it, as it seems to be for her.

You can always get dark contacts! Walk around with black eyes! LOL

The tree line blocks out the sun by 3:00 pm. Good news/bad news less summer heat, but no sun set gazing. I try in the mornings, but my body or I should say Wolfie, my dog, says rise and shine after sun rise. So it's about 7:00 am when the sun is filtered between the pine trees. I use them as my organic glasses. Tee.

"You can always get dark contacts! Walk around with black eyes!" - Will dark circles do?

On a more serious note, by appealing to the individual's vanity, it's a good way to obstruct sun filtration for the pineal gland and heightened knowing. Grrrr, to the power of advertising. Promote contact lenses and lens replacement surgery over framed glasses. Can't leave out brainwashing of pop fashion, large framed sunglasses are vogue; be like a 'movie-star'. People with blue or green eyes tend to be more sensitive to sunlight, I bought in to the polarized lens.

Until I learned about sun gazing, I had reflective tint on my apartment windows for privacy and sun protection. (I still left some on.) Lastly, most vehicle at least in the US have tinted windows, if only slightly.

What can I say? Time to waky-waky...

On sun gazing.... places where there are "no-fly" zones and do not have a heavy military or psy-ops presence are like being in an entirely different plain.... I have spent a lot of time sun-gazing in some of these areas -much easier on the eyes and there is a (significantly marginal difference) in the disruption of the human energy bodies and on the physiological system.

These are for you, Ataraxas. Note: no GMO'S in preparation, only high quality ingredients.

As for sungazing, I remember, as a child, my parents and elders telling me not to stare at the sun, but I never listened. I would do it for a while and then close my eyes and just watch the colored images dance behind my eyelids and wonder what in the world was I looking at. For a kid, I was perplexed at seeing things while my eyes were closed. A paradox I still can't figure out. Regardless, still looking at that Fat Old Sun mornings and evenings when I can catch it!

The technology i speak of is the ability to manipulate space/time/matter/dimensions/reality.

That, enacted, without some basic and strong evolution/enlightenment (ie, powerfully aware, even in the weaker moments), is a dangerous thing. Very much so.

I've been watching closely, and most definitely, the components required to make or design room temperature superconductors are now in the public realm, ...

...

When I speak about the basics of this technology, the problem is that it unfolds into the potentials for so many ugly aspects, as the single understanding opens all doors, like Pandora's box, in and on the dimensional manipulation/integration level.

...

Is "room temperature superconductors" an umbrella term that would include LENR and and zero point energy extraction devices? Or, are you talking about different technologies altogether (that have the capability of messing with time/space)?

99 out of 100 humans are not sociopathic. Sociopaths tend to move up the ladder to the top in corporations, government, and military. So, we can make a good guess that sociopaths currently control ALL advanced energy-related technology. It is already in the "wrong hands." I am not fearful of the other 99% of us ripping holes in space-time with our home zero point energy generator.

I suppose there is a possibility that photovoltaic cells could have a leap of a dozen magnitudes and that we could possibly provide clean power for the 10 to 20 billion of us there will be in a few decades or a century, but from what I have read, the solar/photovoltaic technology has a very very low probability of ever finding materials that would cause that breakthrough. So, I remain hopeful that zero-point energy extraction devices are going to be the future of energy (even if it is over the dead bodies of oil corporation executives/owners.) So, I embrace that technological unveiling, even with its inherent risks. Sociopaths will not lose all power when zero point energy is unleashed, but they will lose most of it, and that offsets most of the risk, in my mind.

Dennis

someone told me a while back ....that if one wanted to create scalar waves, they could try pulse feeding a solar cell.............(use it as a transmitter)

As for the rest, regarding the greater majority of humanity not being sociopaths, yes, that is indeed true.

The problem is the simpler aspects of moments of anger. Wife leaves, husband tracks her down and kills her, the kids, and himself.

Now, if something more potent was available.

Religious fanaticism?

The problem is access, ability, simplicity of design and modification of said 'gear'.

One of the problems is building/designing/selling a 'mystery' device. That is not a solution, either.

In the same breath, I'm talking about the potential of making anti-matter type devices that would only register as plastic, if tested or transported and scanned.

This is what I mean, by all doors open.

A third type of electron orbital was just found, for example. This may end up explaining things like brown's gas, which is considered impossible. This leads right to the Nazi bell and 'Xerum X525'. (brown's gas is in an altered electron orbital state and co-joining that is not considered by mainstream science to be possible. Yet, when all known rules and math/physics is applied to the suggested model of this third rail of electron orbital joining, the math/physics and the brown's gas physical properties all agree to perfection. It very likely that it is the '3rd state' that the Nature article is speaking on. If this is the case... it is beyond suggestion, it is already done)

http://www.nature.com/news/stars-dra...gether-1.11045

Except that now we don't need the bell to make such things. Or any other form of matter or alloy. Just a certain trick....and a bit of understanding of the mechanism.

Making any element on the table of elements may indeed be possible, with the right seed material. This I give extremely high possibility, to the point that I say it is a done deal.

So the story of 'reptilians' connected to gold... gets a giant dunking - which it so richly deserves.


~~~~~~~~~~

Here. I'll double solar cell efficiency for you.

The discharge curve of a solar cell is not linear.

No load vs full load.

NL voltage on a 12V cell could be as high as 18V? Or more?

Now, when the load is connected, it drops at the speed of a discharge curve on a capacitor, to a minor degree.

But when the load is disconnected, it bounces back to the NL level...at FTL levels and speeds. Scalar.

Thus...use a pulse discharge method in the MHZ range on a solar cell, and the efficiency (power into load, over time) should be doubled.

Except you have a problem, with the solar cell at that point. Ever heard of a black body radiator?

It is very likely the solar cell would them become a MHZ oriented scalar radiator, in the same way that a black body radiator exists. (FTL dimensional/'dark matter' integrator) So one has the energetic solution they desire to some degree..but a twist..a problem. Something akin to an orgone generator of an unknown nature. Innocent seeming desire, fantastic seeming result......and an unknown level of potent results on and in a plane of awareness that we cannot directly perceive with our 5 senses.

Thus, I say that it is possible to double the efficiency of solar cells, easily so.

However, the mess it creates is far bigger.

So I scrapped it - hopefully it can be seen why.

Now, all we need is a few idiots, with some solar cells... and a signal generator/amplifier or two.

A follow-up article:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012...-whistleblower

Has the UN learned lessons of Bosnian sex slavery revealed in Rachel Weisz film?

The Whistleblower is a shocking film that reveals how Balkan peacekeepers turned a blind eye to kidnapping, torture and rape. But these abuses still go on.


We do not see the torture inflicted on one girl for trying to flee her captors, but we see the tears of her fellow slaves forced to watch. We see the iron bar tossed on to the cellar floor when the punishment is over, and we know what has happened.

The Whistleblower spares you little. It is a film about that most depraved of crimes: trafficking women for enslaved sex, rape and even murder.

As a dramatised portrayal of reality, however, The Whistleblower is "a day at the beach compared to what happened in real life", says its director, Larysa Kondracki. "We show what is just about permissible to show. We couldn't possibly include the three-week desensitisation period, when they burn the girls in particular places. We couldn't really capture the hopelessness of life these women are subjected to."

Starring Rachel Weisz, The Whistleblower, released tomorrow on DVD, is the most searing drama-documentary of recent years and has won many prizes. But more important than the accolades is that everything in the film is true. The film deals with enslavement and rape in Bosnia, not during wartime 20 years ago but during the peace. Worse, not only were the enslaved women's "clients" soldiers and police officers – so too were the traffickers, protected at the top of the United Nations operation in Bosnia.

Such was the crisis sparked by the ensuing film last year that the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, was obliged in October to stage a special screening and to pledge action. But now it emerges that senior UN officials tried to belittle the film and play it down, while the whistleblower herself warns that, for all the UN's professed resolve, "unfortunately, the widespread horror is already there. This is not going to be simple or a quick fix."

Moreover, the UN has shut down effective anti-trafficking initiatives by its own gender affairs chief in Bosnia.

Kathryn Bolkovac, from Nebraska, was sacked by Dyncorp of Virginia, to which peacekeeping police work in Bosnia had been outsourced; her employer claimed she had filed erroneous time-sheets, but was challenged by Bolkovac and overruled by a British employment tribunal in 2002.

Speaking to the Observer last week, Bolkovac said: "The thing that stood out about these cases in Bosnia, and cases that have been reported in other [UN] mission areas, is … that police and humanitarian workers were frequently involved in not only the facilitation of forced sexual abuse, and the use of children and young women in brothels, but in many instances became involved in the trade by racketeering, bribery and outright falsifying of documents as part of a broader criminal syndicate."

Bolkovac volunteered for Bosnia's peacekeeping force in the late 1990s, working on domestic abuse cases, which brought her into contact with the leading UN officer for gender issues, Madeleine Rees, played by Vanessa Redgrave in the film.

"I went to work with large numbers of women who had been the victims of rape during the war," said Rees. "But I ended up working as much with women who were being trafficked and raped by soldiers and police officers sent to keep the peace." Bolkovac uncovered a network of brothels and bars at which kidnapped women were enslaved to "service" peacekeepers. "This was a difficult time in my life," said Bolkovac. "Not being able to know who to trust when you are working with police officers and UN officials … It was clear that the protection of the 'good old boys' club' was a first priority."

As Bolkovac took her concerns up the chain of command, she was blocked; her work was sabotaged, her life threatened. She had two allies: Rees, and a supportive Dutch colleague who became her husband. Rees had been working with wartime rape survivors and law enforcement officers to confront the abuse rackets. Their approach was "based on protection and welfare of victims, providing advice, immunity that was not conditional on them giving evidence, visas to remain and possible asylum", she said. But their success triggered international intervention that sought to refocus on prosecution and repatriation, "ignoring the autonomy of the women themselves". The prosecutions were to be of local criminals only – UN employees enjoyed diplomatic immunity.

"Countries get rated by the US Trafficking in Persons report on their records in dealing with trafficking," said Rees, "for which you need to show results. If you don't prosecute or repatriate enough people, your rating is downgraded, thereby your financial support. So when there were raids, the girls would be shipped home to Ukraine or wherever, probably to be retrafficked. It was a repatriation factory, run by people who had an anti-immigration approach, and didn't want women to try to get into western Europe – no focus on the system or rights of the women. Our approach, by contrast, was slow and beginning to work, so it had to be killed off."

After Bolkovac was fired, she noted that, although Dyncorp was an American company, her contract was "governed under the laws of England". Rees put Bolkovac in touch with a lawyer she knew in Birmingham, Karen Bailey.

"It was a straightforward protected disclosure case," said Bailey. "The issues were huge, and we were up against a vast company. But it wasn't a complex case." On 2 August 2002, the tribunal ruled unanimously that Bolkovac's boss "had a knife in the applicant and was determined that she be removed from her role as gender monitor".

"What they found quite clearly," said Bailey, "was that she was dismissed because she raised the issue of trafficking. The tribunal did not suggest that there was anything inaccurate about the issues she was raising."

In April 2003, Dyncorp dropped its appeal against the verdict, and three days later announced an award by the US state department for a contract to police Iraq.

Kondracki had been waiting for a story like Bolkovac's to come her way. "I wanted to make a film about this theme very badly – but no one wants to watch a film of an enslaved girl being raped for two hours," she said. "Then along came Kathy's story, and a form in which this theme had not been done."

The film is a fictionalised dramatisation of Bolkovac's time in Bosnia, in which the protagonist is employed by a company called "DemocraCorp", and the names of her real-life superiors are changed. Bolkovac also wrote a memoir, in parallel with the film, in which the characters and company are given their real names.

Before the film was released, Dyncorp confirmed that "a handful of individuals were terminated" after inquiries by the army criminal investigative command. The company said Bolkovac's "allegations" had been "aggressively and responsibly addressed".

The company quotes a US army investigating agent as saying: "Neither Dyncorp nor its employees were involved." To which Rees comments: "Dyncorp say there is this investigation, but who has seen it? There was a UN oversight office report on Bosnia, which found there had been trafficking. Kathy won her case, and Dyncorp has not appealed."

In a more recent internal memo obtained by Bolkovac and the Observer, the renamed Dyncorp International denied that any employees were involved in trafficking and explained to employees: "Our goal is to reach out to you proactively with the facts before you hear about them elsewhere … We strongly disagree with Ms Bolkovac's assertions surrounding the circumstances of her dismissal, and with a British employment tribunal that ruled in her favour in 2002."

The film also put the UN under acute scrutiny. An internal UN memo, which was leaked to Kondracki, reports senior officials arguing "that the UN should be proactive and condemn unacceptable practices in Bosnia".

Others, however, "thought that … public screening of the movie at the UN, to be followed by a frank discussion is counterproductive. They preferred downplaying the film."

Bolkovac and Rees were not invited to attend the UN's October screening until six days beforehand (Bolkovac could not make it because her son's wedding was taking place the same day). Kondracki told the UN leadership: "I'd like to say that this screening and panel will lead to genuine discussion and thought about the UN's involvement in sex trafficking and other crimes. I'd like to say that, but I do worry. I know we are going to hear a lot about what has been done since the time depicted in this film, but rhetoric only goes so far. The situation has escalated."

Rees was also fired from her UN post, ostensibly for poor performance, but she won her case at a UN disputes tribunal. She went on to become general secretary of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, the international women's rights organisation for social justice and against militarisation, founded during the first world war.

Reflecting on The Whistleblower, Rees said: "It's not enough for the UN to say, 'There are a few rotten apples that need to be got rid of.' They have to understand that this outrageous practice is endemic in the male hegemony of a militarised environment – it's part of locker-room bravado and the high levels of testosterone in fighting armies.

"These crimes are perpetrated by individual men who rape and torture girls on mission, then go home to their wives. And it'll carry on until there's a knock at the door and they find themselves getting arrested in front of the wife and kids."

Hmmm....Someone mention sungazing...Cccooooollll !!!
HeHeHe, from the walking- talking- breathing- heart-beating sun guy : )

I tried it for the first time this morning. It's a beautiful day, no clouds.

I took a chair outside the front of the house and sat on the drive as it is the only place I can see the sun as it rises over the houses - what will the neighbours think


Any fear I had went quickly when I realised that I will stop looking when I have had enough. I enjoyed it, sometimes looking at it and sometimes just squinting in the direction of it....and then I knew I had had enough.

Well I still seem to have my eyesight so I think I might try it again tonight if the sky stays clear.

One of the things that I like about the vid you introduced is you don't have to question whether it's disinformation or not. He demonstrates directly that it is safe. I also like the wisdom he shares.

I'm using my hands to filter for nano seconds that seem too intense, and alternating my eyes until I alleviate the fear program. Glad you posted!

OK Here and Nowers...asking for suggestions, advice, personal experience please.

My oldest Daughter has Hashimoto's Disease (hypothyroidism) and it is coming on strong with Her lately...in this disease the immune system attacks/degenerates the thyroid.

We will be getting some MMS and I have taken note of Onawah's "aloe vera" gel drink in prior post, thank you.

Thank You beforehand to anyone that is familiar with this and has knowledge to offer : )

I am looking at natural remedies online also.

While we're on the subject of sun gazing...

This is an account that I ran into while searching info about it.

[... When I first began Sun Gazing in 2005, I lived on the beach in San Diego, and got up to 25 minutes - I felt the best physically and mentally in years, and had phenomenal physical strength (I was 59 yo). I moved to Colorado, and encountered trees and snow, so I ended my gazing at 30 minutes. My physical and mental health totally deteriorated in Colorado! Artificial light did not "do it" for me! There I was finally diagnosed with lifelong, mis-diagnosed Celiac Disease that has destroyed my ability to absorb B vitamins and lipids from my foods.

6 years later, I have moved to Arizona - the land of the sun - and have started up Sun Gazing again. I had to stay on 5 SECONDS for an entire week until I could add another 5 SECONDS per day! Then I began to add the normal 10 seconds/day, and I am up to 2 minutes of gazing -NOT STARING - into the new sun each morning.

I cannot begin to tell you how "whole" I now feel! My endocrine system is coming back into balance, even at this beginning stage! I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, which is primarily a disorder of the ADRENAL glands, which severely unbalances the thyroid and sex hormones, the endocrine triad. When it is cloudy, I go outside and practice my gazing, but I do not add more time after - I only add time after finishing the SUN gazing, and ONLY if I feel that I can move on to more time! HRM and others who successfully practice REAL Sun Gazing write and tell, over and over, that it is up to the individual to feel comfortable with this practice, to slowly add 5-10 seconds per day, and to STOP if it does not feel right; that it is a SPIRITUAL practice that will OPEN up a person to using the other parts of their brain that lie dormant; that it is about SLOWLY releasing the emotional content stored within us, cleansing, revitalizing with the energy of the sun, and becoming a whole new person. It is not a race, not a fad, not something to take on as a whim. ...]

I have some problems with the adrenal glands, or so it seems and I'm going to try sun gazing too.
I have a good feeling about it.

Without wisdom, that is . . .

Saw a good line earlier

Wisdom without action is just as bad as action without wisdom.

View & Conduct

“There were two aspects for practitioners. The first is to develop a spacious mind or view - limitless, open, free, and released. Secondly, one's physical actions with body, speech and mind must be perfect - ethical down to the minuetest detail. In the beginning, the latter is very important and then as one's view gradually develops, conduct takes care of itself automatically without effort, just by merely having the profound view. Conduct is the ideal of loving kindness and compassion towards all beings equally. Without conduct, the highest view can be harmful because people think they have the view and that everything will be alright without paying attention to conduct. But they are only thinking that; it is not a true realization, so their reasoning is faulty. Patrul Rinpoche said that if someone says to you that they have the view but they don't show loving kindness - you should stuff their mouths with the sh*t of one hundred towns. So we don't emphasize only the view and neglect behavior; but also the opposite is incorrect - not trying to understand the view but examining conduct. If you practice only virtuous conduct for hundreds of aeons, enlightenment is never reached. We also need the wisdom of the view - pure buddha mind view. If you only practice only from the outer point of view - you are like a chicken -- you are a bird, but you can't fly; but if you practice conduct and view, you are like a soaring garuda and everything unfolds very quickly in a single lifetime.”

~Tharchin Rinpoche


“To lose the conduct in the view means that the view, which is emptiness, is superimposed upon all one's actions. One might say "Good is empty, evil is also empty, everything is emptiness, so what does it matter." Then one becomes uncaring & frivolous & doesn't discriminate between help & harm, good & evil. That is losing the conduct in the view. Please be careful to avoid this mistake!

The other extreme is to lose the view in the conduct, to only think in terms of good & evil, what is virtuous & unvirtuous. It is through the view that one is liberated. If you lose the view in the conduct, you will never have the opportunity to be free.

Padmasambhava said: "Though the view should be as vast as the sky, keep your conduct as fine as barley flour." Don't confuse one with the other. When training in the view, you can be as unbiased, as impartial, as vast, immense, & unlimited as the sky. Your behaviour, on the other hand, should be as careful as possible in discriminating what is beneficial or harmful, what is good or evil. One can combine the view & conduct, but don't mix them or lose one in the other. That is very important.

'View like the sky' means that nothing is held onto in any way whatsoever. You are not stuck anywhere at all. In other words, there is no discrimination as to what to accept & what to reject; no line is drawn separating one thing from another. 'Conduct as fine as barley flour' means that there is good & evil, & one needs to differentiate between the two. Give up negative deeds; practice the Dharma. In your behaviour, in your conduct, it is necessary to accept & reject."

Hi Paula

I loved his wisdom too.....and also the presentation. It was very fresh !

When I sat outside to try sun gazing this morning, I noticed the fear arise just as I was about to look up -" how will I know when I have had enough?" but immediately after, there was the knowing, I would just know when to stop.

I used my hands too, some of the time.

...and when I came back indoors with my eyesight still intact, I thought to myself "that's another thing they have lied to us about!"

”but if you practice conduct and view, you are like a soaring garuda and everything unfolds very quickly in a single lifetime.”

This is what i went after.

and it came, rather quickly.

however, the preparatory (lay up-set up, etc) time to get to that period, was a meandering intended and attended path that took 30 years to come into being. All of that time, was preparation of the mind to accept the coming period of doing both.

I set my life up so it was a gauntlet with but one path that was viable, to the mind and body's ideas on reality and thinking. thus instead of simply trying..I combined that with making the doorway very very narrow and built in only one way.

I found that some key components were acceptance, dedication, and action in those areas. Areas of simplifying life so the corners and moments to be negotiated where small enough and few enough that the process of seeing the way could be found and moved forward.

Then it happened.....very very fast.

Another's path will be different, of course. Similar destination, different bit of meandering.

[Carmody]

speaking about the Sun.

Unusual, or unexpected results in observations.

Results that have no answer. Results that are far too perfect for even science to deal with or understand.

The Sun's almost perfectly round shape baffles scientists

The sun is nearly the roundest object ever measured. If scaled to the size of a beach ball, it would be so round that the difference between the widest and narrow diameters would be much less than the width of a human hair.


The sun rotates every 28 days, and because it doesn't have a solid surface, it should be slightly flattened. This tiny flattening has been studied with many instruments for almost 50 years to learn about the sun's rotation, especially the rotation below its surface, which we can't see directly.

Now Jeff Kuhn and Isabelle Scholl (Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii at Manoa), Rock Bush (Stanford University), and Marcelo Emilio (Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, Brazil) have used the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite to obtain what they believe is the definitive -- and baffling -- answer.

Because there is no atmosphere in space to distort the solar image, they were able to use HMI's exquisite image sensitivity to measure the solar shape with unprecedented accuracy. The results indicate that if the Sun were shrunk to a ball one meter in diameter, its equatorial diameter would be only 17 millionths of a meter larger than the diameter through its North-South pole, which is its rotation axis.
