Its Friday and most of you Fantasy Football team owners are busy scratching your heads, desperate to slot in the best possible combination of players in order to guide your team to victory this week.
The running back is normally considered the most valuable position in fantasy football. They run the ball, catch the ball, and usually accumulate the most touchdowns, therefore giving them the most points.
But, what people don't seem to know is that with a consistent, top of the line quarterback, your team can win weeks solely on his shoulders. The QB is becoming a more coveted position lately, and here are the top 10 field generals to start this week in your fantasy leagues.

Just as his alleged victim, the 13-year-old daughter of his ex-girlfriend, was sworn in to testify, former New Orleans police officer Christopher Buckley pleaded guilty this morning to raping the girl.
Buckley, 39, was arrested in October 2008 after the girl told her story to her mother, also an officer with the NOPD. The Times-Picayune is not naming the woman because of her relationship with the victim.
The victim, now 15, had been sworn in and was preparing to take the witness stand when Buckley decided to take a plea. In all, he pleaded guilty to seven counts of forcible rape.
After his arrest, police revealed that Buckley had been the subject of two earlier, internal investigations stemming from complaints of inappropriate behavior with girls, neither of which led to charges.
Buckley, a 10-year veteran of the department, resigned immediately after his arrest.
The girl's mother testified Tuesday that she found her daughter on the floor of a bedroom closet, in fear.
"I asked him a question ... Did he rape my daughter? 'Did you touch my daughter?' " testified the woman, whom The Times-Picayune is not naming because of her relationship with the alleged victim.
"He just was, 'I didn't do it.' ... He said, 'What I'm supposed to do? Do I need to get a lawyer?' I told him, 'For what? You're telling me you didn't do anything.'"
A grand jury indicted Buckley in December 2008 for both the alleged rape of the girl and that of a woman in 2003. One of the charges to which Buckley pleaded this morning involved the second case.
Buckley's attorney, Robert Jenkins, suggested Tuesday that the girl, who he said was sexually active, conjured a rape story to save face.
But a hospital nurse who conducted a rape exam at Children's Hospital testified that the girl suffered "acute" tearing that suggested sexual assault, as well as scratches to her right hip.
Also, prosecution witnesses said Tuesday that the victim had told them Buckley that insisted she take "a test" to show whether she was sexually active. That test, according to prosecutor Payal Patel, turned out to be rape.
"We're taught that they're there to protect and serve. We respect them. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's exactly what Christopher Buckley was banking on," Patel said. "She trusted Christopher Buckley, looked at him like a father."
Patel said Tuesday the state would present DNA evidence linking Buckley to the crime today, through a towel that has tested positive for Buckley's semen and other evidence. She said fingernail scrapings tested positive for a mix of the girl's DNA and Buckley's.
"She tried to resist him," Patel said.
Buckley could face life in prison. He remains jailed in lieu of $2.8 million bond, jail records show.

Five years ago today, Sept. 12, Metrolink engineer Robert Sanchez failed to acknowledge three warning lights. He was too engrossed in texting a teen about sneaking the young man into the locomotive cab to illegally operate the train that night.
Metrolink #111 was almost finished with its run on that Friday afternoon from downtown Los Angeles to Ventura County. As the packed train rounded a blind curve a short distance past the Chatsworth station, a Union Pacific freight train came into view. With only four seconds before impact, Sanchez likely never even saw the powerful freight train bearing down on him. He never did apply the brakes. The trains smashed into each other head-on with such force that the Metrolink locomotive engine was shoved back 52 feet, telescoping most of the crowded first car. All but two of the 25 deaths occurred in that car. The remaining two passenger cars were also destroyed as they derailed. Another 135 people were injured, some critically and horribly.
Five years should be enough time to sort out who is to blame. Despite the evidence and the decision by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the French company Veolia and its subsidiary Connex still refuse to take any responsibility for their employee, whose astonishingly negligent behavior caused a catastrophic train crash.
Five years is a natural time for reflection on whether the system worked under such stressful circumstances. In this case, the system utterly failed the victims, who were left without adequate compensation due to a congressional cap on liability.
Are the trains any safer to ride now? Metrolink trains are, in fact, safer. But the other railroad companies, passenger and freight, are facing a statutory deadline of 2015 to get a safety system, positive train control (PTC), in place. The major freight railroads have not been on board with the new law, balking at the price.
Although the implementation of PTC has been at the top of the NTSB's wish list for the past 20 years, Metrolink board member Keith Millhouse explained that the technology is lagging behind the deadline.
"It's not that there's this technology that existed that could have been put in place, it had to be developed," Millhouse said. "The NTSB has been frustrated by the fact that they were being stymied by the freight railroads about positive train control."
It may be a longer wait than expected for PTC to be implemented as the major railroad companies, excluding BNSF, have not committed to meeting the deadline at the end of 2015. A few former legislators, including John Thune, R-S.D., who sponsored the bill, are trying to get the deadline pushed back by five years.
The railroad industry has given Thune $672,836 in political contributions since 1998, according to OpenSecrets.org. Other former political heavyweights who are bill sponsors include Sen. Trent Lott , R-Miss.; John Breaux, D-La.; Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo.; Sen. Claire McCaskill, R-Mo., and former Republican governor of Mississippi Haley Barbour.
Ross Capon, CEO and president of the National Association of Railroad Passengers, said in an interview with The Associated Press, "It's one thing to say we can't get it all done by the end of 2015. It's quite another thing to say we want a blanket, industrywide pass for five more years," Capon said. "That's suggestive of bad faith."
At a rail safety hearing in June, Thune warned Congress of the evils of regulations. "I think it's important that we as Congress be careful not to impose undue regulation on the railroad industry."
The railroads have already convinced the president to reduce the number of miles of track that will require PTC, track where passengers and airborne hazmat chemicals travel. Originally set at 70,000 miles of track in 2008, that number has already been reduced to 50,000 miles. Plus, regulators gifted the railroads with something they have wanted for a long time: permission to install inferior, older and cheaper PTC.
It remains to be seen whether the railroad companies will bend to obey the law or the law will eventually bend to accommodate the railroads.
Metrolink leading the way
Millhouse usually attended a weekly meeting downtown on Fridays and took the #111 home to Moorpark. On Sept. 12, 2008, however, the meeting had been canceled and Millhouse did not ride the train that day. He usually sat in the first car. He believes he likely would not have survived the crash.
Anxious to improve train safety quickly, Metrolink equipped its trains with several new safety features.
Attorney Mark Hiepler examining a Metrolink train after the crash.
"They were first with inward-facing cameras; it was obviously motivated by the Sanchez situation," Millhouse said. "We have surprise inspections and we have been in the process of changing out all of the (signal) lights in the system from incandescent signals to LED, which are much brighter."
One of the first changes was ordering new passenger train cars that are designed with crumple zones to take the brunt of a collision. The tables that proved deadly in the train crash have been replaced with frangible tables.
"Metrolink is far and away the most technologically advanced railroad in the country in terms of safety," Millhouse said. "The train cars that we got have saved lives already."
Crash victims get short end
When Congress placed a $200 million cap in 1997 on any recovery for victims of a train crash, it felt it was doing the right thing. Amtrak needed protection against any future judgments large enough to wipe out the railroad. But after thorough investigations by the NTSB and by the judge who was handed the responsibility of disbursing compensation, it became clear that $200 million would not even come close to fully compensating everyone who was harmed in the crash.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Peter Lichtman was charged with dispensing the available funds. The cap on the payout became the biggest problem. Lichtman has since retired from the bench.
Judge Peter Lichtman.
"I'm not so sure the politicians understand," Lichtman said. "You have all these intervening factors whenever you issue a statutory cap. Once you do that, it's great to sit there and say, 'Look how good we are at tort reform; we're limiting the damages.' I don't think any politician understood the effect of the cap. They didn't understand the ramifications"
Millhouse agreed. "When you put a cap like that in place you are basically making the statement that you don't trust the jury system in this country," he said. "It is kind of ironic that some of the people who voted for it now look back and say, maybe it wasn't such a good idea. Yet people who weren't impacted by it [the crash] in Congress don't think it should be changed."
Lichtman struggled with how to accomplish his task. "It was an extremely hard case," he said. "The problem that I had to deal with forced me into making Sophie's choices all over the place." Lichtman devised a method for determining the amount of each person's award.
"In order to do the opinion correctly, I made the decision to actually have them relive their situation with me so I can get on the train with them in an imaginary sense. Then get into their skin and realize what happened to them. That's what I did."
The judge's approach yielded insights such as this one in his final judgment:
Almost all of the passengers that remained conscious through the ordeal and even those that were briefly rendered unconscious speak of (the) silence as being surreal. Many of the passengers thought that they had simply passed away and were experiencing death since the silence coupled with debris floating in the air along with the sun reflecting through the debris provided the sensation of another dimension.
Lichtman listened to each plaintiff and then privately decided what he would have awarded had the case not had a cap on damages. "I found out what the overage was and I was over by about $130 million." The estimated damages determined by the plaintiffs' attorneys were much higher, about $300 million over and above the statutory cap. But the court was given $200 million to compensate the victims.
The lead attorneys turned to Congress with their appeal to raise the cap so that compensation would actually cover the losses of the victims. "There was a great battle," said attorney Mark Hiepler, who represented several of the passengers. "We got two bills in the legislature, the Senate, the House, and then we just couldn't get it any further."
Throughout this epic journey intended to sway Congress, Veolia, the French foreign company that was in charge of employees, refused to acknowledge that the injuries and losses far exceeded the cap. To this day, Veolia insists that $200 million is enough to fully compensate the plaintiffs.
One of techniques Lichtman employed was to triage the different levels of harm. "I was going to engage in triage, and whoever I gave to, I had to take from. There was never a comfortable moment. I knew once I started (with the most critically injured) there, it was all downhill emotionally for me. It was extremely gut-wrenching."
Veolia and Connex dispute all findings
In an email response to a couple of brief questions, Veolia spokeswoman Valerie Michael articulated a very different view of the crash, one that contradicts the NTSB and Lichtman. As has been the case throughout the past five years, Veolia refused to answer any questions of depth. This article was no exception.
"N helpful purpose would be served to discuss the facts of the accident or its aftermath at this time," Michael wrote.
The company denies its employee caused the wreck. "While there was substantial evidence that the accident resulted from other causes, … it is clear that the NTSB closely examined and found no fault with either the implementation of the strict Connex cell phone policy or the level of its supervisory or management oversight at the time of the accident."
Connex had published a "fact sheet" rebutting all of the negative findings of the NTSB and the judge, calling them mere "claims." Here is the explanation of some of the events.
"There remains considerable question as to how cell phone use was a cause when it is clear the engineer was engaged in manipulating all of the locomotive controls at appropriate points along the way as he approached the Topanga signal."
The NTSB report has a different view of events.
"As shown by his wireless account records, the engineer habitually used his cell phone at times when he knew that any distractions from the task at hand could have serious safety consequences."
The report shows that during the final 45 minutes of the engineer's life, he was on the cell phone for 17 minutes while driving the train.
Hiepler was frustrated at Veolia and Connex's reaction to the crash.
"They disappointed me, first by not acknowledging their culpability right away. They fought us for two years. Then they disappointed us secondly by not acknowledging the true costs as determined by the judge and, again, not compensating the people beyond that. … This company is extremely wealthy."
When discussing caps and millions of dollars and liability, what has been lost is the extreme nature of most of the injuries. Lichtman said that where a passenger sat determined the nature and severity of the injuries. Some escaped with fewer injuries.
"The key to that success was facing the opposite direction of travel in one's seat. One hundred percent of the 'walk aways' all faced the opposite direction of travel. Almost every table passenger sustained and suffered horrible abdominal injuries that cannot be medically resolved. Almost all of one's vital organs were implicated for those at the tables," Lichtman said.
The injuries sustained by the bench passengers were equally horrific. "All of the bench passengers were launched head/face-first into a bulkhead," he continued. "The effect was to inflict gruesome injuries to the face and eyes. For the bench victims, descalping injuries were commonplace. These injuries likewise implicated the brain, and almost all of these passengers suffered traumatic brain injuries to varying degrees."
Despite the severe nature of the injuries, the legislative cap on the compensation left most of the passengers with debts they never wanted or caused.
"If you get two-thirds of your medical bills paid, you still have to worry about that third surgery that isn't going to be covered," Hiepler said. "Each of these people continues to have the burden of the tragedy and then the burden of the expense or lack of full financing that their injury needs."
Clark Aristei was also a lead attorney on the case. He was floored by Veolia's failure to accept responsibility when culpability had been so well established.
"At the NTSB hearing, one of his (the conductor) bosses was asked, 'So you have a policy against texting, you have an employee you know is texting, and you don't do anything about it?' The answer was that it was a problem they couldn't get their arms around."
Aristei was surprised by the reactions of his own clients when he asked them if they would speak to a reporter. All but one refused to participate.
That passenger was Frank Kohler of Simi Valley. Kohler had been a critical-care nurse for 35 years. He can no longer work at all. He was seated on a bench directly in front of the bulkhead.
Kohler said his basic personality has changed. "I always kept my cool. (Now) I can rocket out of control so fast, it's very scary to me. I'm not able to work anymore in my chosen profession. I didn't know how badly I was injured. I am no longer afraid of death."
That shift was apparent when he attended his usual Simi Valley Fourth of July fireworks show. There was a terrible accident early in the show as fireworks tipped over and aimed right at the crowd, injuring several people. "I was sitting in the front row. I just sat there watching the fireworks shoot into the crowd. It never bothered me."
During the hearings with the judge, Kohler's attorney asked for damages of $1.8 million. "The judge said, under normal circumstances that would be a low-ball number."
Kohler received $600,000, and from that paid his attorney fees, repaid his disability insurance company, and repaid his health insurance company.
"There should be a better way of compensating the victims," he said. "You lead a clean life. You don't do drugs or things like that and when something bad happens to you, there may be nothing you can do to make it come out right for you."

That's very disappointing for Japan. During last two seasons they always had people on the podium and won twice (Murakami, Hanyu). Now they lost a spot in both men and women for the next year JWC.
China is becoming a figure skating powerhouse
could overtake Japan soon in some of their disciplines
Can someone do the spots for next year and spots for JGP thing by country? :D
Pretty please!!!
I think that comment is really overhasty.Originally Posted by sky_fly20
"Japan's disciplines" are ladies and men, and why should they lose out in those to china "soon"? Zijun Li ended up behind Miyahara, who's even 2 years younger (although I love both of them). And as talented as Han Yan is, beating Takahashi and Kozuka and Hanyu(!) is not that likely happening just next season.
Japan might have had a disappointing junior year, but that doesn't even need to mean much... I'd bet next year especially for the men Japan will still have the strongest team overall.
But that aside, happy for all the medalists
It'll be interesting to see how some of them will do in seniors next year
Thing is, that this is nothing new. Japan was kind of dominant in singles and just there, and by now they still are. Russia will be changing that for the ladies, but I don't see China "overtaking" Japan there.Originally Posted by jpaiyi
Japan is even having a promising pair this time.
And what is America doing there, except for Ice Dance?

no big scoll bar
bottom options bar can be hidden few things like that
Hi, i am new here. Recently rebought a Wii. Sold my last for a PS3 which i sold. I prefer the 360 and Wii. When i orginally had the Wii, you got the internet free. I noticed that you need to pay for it and was wondering if there is a difference. Cheers.
no big scoll bar
bottom options bar can be hidden few things like that
PSN daviduk2000
Gamertag daviduk2000
There is no difference...Nintendo just wanted more people to download it...also if you do download it, it will be the same thing that the people who got it free has
Wii gotten on December 6, 2006
Wii Play = Call of Duty 3 = Mario Party 8 = Twilight Princess = Wario Ware: Smooth Moves = GT Pro Series = Wii Sports = Barnyard = Cars =
I can't wait until Brawl comes out!! I have it reserved!
It was a sad day for the people who are waiting for Brawl to come out....delayed until Feb. 10
The reason as to why the internet was free beforehand was due to the fact that it was a trial version. Thus the trial version of the Wii internet is no longer available and requires you to purchase it on the shopping channel.
The new version has more features such as a search bar and the option to hide the toolbar.
If you have the old version you can upgrade for free
Wii games: Super Mario Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, Resident Evil 4, Zelda TP, SSX: Blur, Excite Truck, The Godfather, and Mario Kart Wii
PC games: Call of Duty 4, Halo 1, UT3, F.E.A.R., and The Orange Box.
PS3 games: Ratchet and Clank F.T.O.D., Resistance 2, Wipeout HD, and MGS4.
OK thx. Id rather spend it on the VC. Just use my PC for the internet.


text: Call me Joe 6-pack, but that's the way I like to buy my beer. I think a 6-pack that's available year-round is a good representation of an area's beer scene. I'll include 4-packs of pints, since they're close to being the same. For me, in Wisconsin, I think I'll go with New Glarus Moon Man. I could be talked out of that, however. Maybe Sprecher Heffe Weisse and Central Waters Satin Solstice as honorable mentions.

Egyptians, Afterlife, the Pineal Gland and DMT
"Did the ancient Egyptian technology extend into mastery of the afterlife? In the Valley of the Kings, the tombs of Seti I and Tuthmosis III have been closed to the public for over a decade.

spelling secrets, its no longer secret once you can spell it out, thats the secrete...Mon, January 8, 2007 - 8:36 AMthis thing peaks my interest due to some of my own experiences with... and reading the egyptian book of the dead in certain light.... looking forward to watching this!
Re: spelling secrets, its no longer secret once you can spell it out, thats the secrete...Mon, January 8, 2007 - 11:03 AMYes, The Spirit Molecule is becoming more intruiguing to me as well ever since I have been been re-introduced to it without me really looking for it.
As a bodyworker I also got introduced to CranioSacral Therapy CST last year, a modality that effects the Cerebrospinal fluid CSF which travels between the sacrum and cranial bones. it is produced inside the four ventricles deep inside the brain. The Pineal gland lies inside these ventricles, embeded in the CSF. Through certain techniques and very light touch the flow of the CSF can be manipulated which has tremendous healing effects on the nervous system and acitvates self-healing properties of the body-mind. So far CST has not been related to possible DMT release caused through the "involuntray" manipualtion of the pineal gland as one affects the CSF. (at least I haven't come across any research on that). However, my own experience of receiving CST sessions had very interesing effects on me. Coming out of a session, I feel very similar as when "coming down" after having smoked DMT. I don't have any vivid alien/entity encounters like when I smoke it but there is a deep sense of lightness, contentment , awareness , as if vibrating on a higher frequency. In short , after a CST session I feel very similar to the DMT state of mind I have which stays with me days after having smoked it. The similarity is astonishing. I can only explain this by asuming that the pineal gland is very much affected through CranioSacral Therapy and it might release little amounts of DMT.
In anyway, I'm studying, experimenting and reasearching more about it.
Anyone who has any hints or material I should look into, please let me know, or who is up for a session (if you're in or around LA) is welcome at any time.
We'll see. These are exciting times and it is interesting how synchronicites and "coincidences" are leading me to an interesting appraoch and refreshing view to the Healing Arts and Entheogens.
Also very interesting is this excerpt from Barbara Marciniak's channeled material, which talks about the CranioSacral modality affecting the endocrine system (which the Pineal Gland is part of). Reading it again , I see it in a new light and it starts making even more sense.
"The plan of intention is for human beings, based on the increase on light, to evolve into multitalented beings. Some people are operating on 6 to 8 percent of their brain capacity. Someone who is using more of their brain, an Einstein for example, is using at best 15 to 20 percent. Ask yourself these questions: What is the other 80 percent of my brain doing? Why is it dormant? What is not hooked up?
The endocrine system will evolve as DNA evolves, producing chemical substances that are combinations of intelligent geometric shapes. These shapes will exist all over the body and will not be localized simply in the brain. Everything will happen simultaneously. The endocrine system can secrete psychedelic-like chemical substances that catapult you into new forms of intelligence. You have a conflict in society about how you view drugs. Anything having to do with mind expansion has been promoted as very bad and fearful. Yet, at the same time, a good portion of the world is addicted to prescription drugs that keep people sedated. In your society, prescribed drugs that suppress the natural chemical process are fine, while drugs that activate the mind and open other realities are bad. Major control is in effect concerning your ideas about what you can and cannot take into your body.
Your endocrine system is going to go through a massive upheaval. It is in the early stages of this at this time. As the strands of DNA begin to discover their identities and come alive, they will change the endocrine system.
The accelerated energy will create havoc on your planet, leading to a great deal of confusion couples with radical, revolutionary, overnight change. Never in your recorded history has there been so much energy on the planet and has there been the kind of consciousness that there is now, so you have nothing to prepare you for what is coming. The radical change that these movements will bring about is beyond your conception.
Focus on the best that you can be, knowing that you will affect many probabilities around you. Know that for yourself this will be the opportunity to activate a major change.
Your pineal gland is being activated through the infusion of light energies, releasing a new vision of possibilities, in which peace and freedom are felt and recognized from inside.
Your thymus gland is pivotal in sending the signal to your body to hold the pattern of rejuvenation. It is like a gatekeeper at the base of your neck that regulates what comes from above and what comes from below.
Your upper glands, the pituitary and pineal, as cranial temples are inactivated; they are basically dormant. Your thymus gland does not continuously remind your body its idealized blueprint because it is not getting the messages to do so from the temples in your head. This is because your temples have been disconnected from the full strand DNA.
Your thymus gland will return to its own vitality when it receives the message that your body has done its preparation and that your consciousness is ready.
Your hypothalamus regulates the temperature and water in your body. You are water, you understand electrified water. The elements and balance of ocean water match the blood in your human body. Humans were made from the ocean. This is one of the greatest secrets of creation, the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. It is from this that you sprang. This is the basic key. The firmament was created, and from the firmament came life. This is one of the principles through which you were constructed. We want you to understand that there are many ways to construct humans. Remember , we said that very often things are switched around so that you do not discover the truth of your identity. Your official history of human evolution has not much to do with the truth of it.
Your hypothalamus can be thought of as the gatekeeper between your physical body and your outer charkas. Its time has not yet come. In your present stage of evolution, you cannot comprehend its function.
There are ways through cranio-sacral adjustment to stimulate the hypothalamus. These will be discovered and shared when people have raised their consciousness to the degree that they are prepared for the great sunburst of energy that will come from this gland. Until that time, the information would be dangerous. People sometimes cannot moderate themselves, and they think they must drink the elixir of all experience without making the neccessary preparation of consciousness.
You will never be the same once your hypothalamus secretion start. Have you ever ingested a psychedelic? How would you like to live, balancing that reality, twenty-four hours a day? It wouldnt work; it would be entirely too confusing. It is fine for what is called a trip. It is fine for a journey into learning into the shamanic, mysterious, Living Library realms. However it certainly is not something you want for breakfast every day. The rest of the nervous system is not in sync with that awareness. When you take what is called a trip, it is exactly that like going to the country or to the shore for the weekend. You go, you experience it, and then you come back and contemplate it.
Your hypothalamus is going to move you to a new shoreline of your being, a new domain that will be chemically induced. This is what the endocrine system does. It introduces various chemicals into your body without you taking anything without you ingesting any substance at all. The chemicals will simply begin to secrete themselves and influence the very way that you perceive and interpret reality.
Your restored hypothalamus will take you on a journey, and you will change everything so that you will be happy to dwell there. You will not want to dwell in the old place. It will be as if you move to a new planet without leaving earth. It will be a splitting of your world. Earth and Earths reality in the Living Library will change before your eyes because the chemicals that will be secreted from the hypothalamus will give you a new interpretation if reality.
This you are not prepared for yet, not anywhere near it. First you must convince yourself that you are loved and that you are the source of love. You must maintain a consistent feeling of this before you can begin the subtle changes in your endocrine system that will prepare you for the awakening of your hypothalamus. We suggest that this will happen in increments between 1999 and 2012.
From "Earth: Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library" channeled by Barbara Marciniak (1994)
....now I aslo really would like to read the egyptian book of the dead.
Re: spelling secrets, its no longer secret once you can spell it out, thats the secrete...Mon, January 8, 2007 - 3:55 PMi enjoyed that, thanks. the death process is a mirror of the birthing process. the waters can be found encased in the womb. its uncanny the sameness of things.
i like this book: www.amazon.com/Egyptian-B.../0811807673
(a treasure for sure!)
Re: spelling secrets, its no longer secret once you can spell it out, thats the secrete...Mon, January 8, 2007 - 3:59 PMalso, recall in the spirit molecule regarding the pineal. it forms in the roof of the mouth and the shoots up to the center of the brain for protection after so many weeks of body formation in the womb. i find that more than a tryp regarding sound, spirit, and story. metaphormosis!
Re: spelling secrets, its no longer secret once you can spell it out, thats the secrete...Mon, January 8, 2007 - 4:22 PM"the death process is a mirror of the birthing process. the waters can be found encased in the womb. its uncanny the sameness of things."
This speaks to me this moment, especially after just talking to a friend's experience reading a book called, "Prenatal Yoga and Natural Child Birth" by Jeanine Parvarti Baker, a mystic of a kind. He has decided to purue "birth as a way of life."
Perhaps this is akin to how the "wise woman" traditions synch up with the Mystery School traditions. I don't think the point can be overstated that due to the processes of birth and death or transformational thresholds being so finely woven that the biology of woman and the mind of a transcendental universe have some extraordinary relationship to the universal languages of ascension, the law of one, language that invigors, empowers and flows cosmically and rhytmically between what is Man and what is Woman and what is One.
I've been jazzing of late (and this movie piqued me) that the "nether" world and the "ether" world are process-linked with the netcheral or natural world of universal substance or God, linked outwardly and inwardly in ways described in this movie:
Lots of connections, welcome to the dawning of the world of oneness, the awakened world we are being led to by the prophetic nether of time.
And, again, nice statement, Anistara. I like the things you say very much.
Re: Pineal Gland.Mon, January 8, 2007 - 6:40 PMI have been working on increasing stimilutaion to this gland for the last 6 months. I have been trying the standard light inducement as well as not moving towards some herbal ones. I also download something called the BrainWAVE Generator pretty much for the same purpose.
Re: Pineal Gland.Mon, January 8, 2007 - 6:51 PMi use a proteus mind machine that is quite effective. you might want to incorporate solar gazing amongst the other tools and tidbits for effective light/sound activation. strobing is effective as well. i recently watched AV3X and it worked quite well. plug: www.av3x.com/
Re: Pineal Gland.Mon, January 8, 2007 - 7:22 PMBernhard, I gotta say this is the best Egyptian guide to 2012 I have ever seen. Great find!
Just amazing. I love this flick. In my mind it totally agrees with the Mayan Calendar, a cosmogenic overlay of the motive and destiny of the netherworld we know as time.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Pineal Gland.Mon, January 8, 2007 - 8:27 PMMy post got deleted somehow, so I decided to revise it,
and re-post it. I added more stuff to it.
(Plus to Golden and others, I added more stuff
about the Egypt-India connection that I thought you might
find interesting! Om)
The name "Egypt" comes from the Sanskrit word Ajap,
short for Ajapati, signifying Lord Rama as the scion of the clan
of Aja; Aja was Lord Rama's grandfather.
The Egyptian pharaohs had names like Ramses I, Ramses II, etc.
because Rama was universally accepted as an ideal ruler.
Ramses is also another name for Lord Rama, and the word
has also become synonymous with God, as India's Lord Rama
was considered an Enlightened Incarnation.
In following Ancient India's tradition, the Egyptians considered
their rulers to be incarnations of God.
The Egyptian tradition of dividing society into different castes,
such as priestly/elite caste, warrior caste, traders, merchants,
laborers, agriculturists, etc,
originated in India with Manu, the man who invented the caste system.
Even the religious symbols on both the shores of the Indian Ganges River
and Egypt's Nile River are identical:
the phallus of Egypt's Ammon Temple
is an adulterated duplicate of the Lingam of Shiva Temples,
the Lingam being Shiva's man-piece.
Many ancient stories from India which speak of barren women hanging out
at Shiva Temples long enough to become fertile again, these similar stories
are also ascribed to the Ammon Temple of Ancient Egypt.
The Lotus flower is the symbol of the Sun in both ancient India and Egypt.
Egyptians viewed Earth represented as a cow, as Indians have for eons,
and a sphere balanced on the hoods of a huge cobra known as Shesh.
This is yet another ancient Indian concept, that all of the planets maintain
their orbits by being held in balance through the power of Lord Sheshanaga,
or Sheshna, the monstrous serpent which Lord Vishnu uses as a bed.
The pharaoh's crown was decorated with a cobra symbol,
just as Ancient India's Charka System describes Kundalini as being a super-warehouse
of cosmic fire that lies coiled like a cobra at the base of the spine, until it awakens,
triggering every Chakra along the center spinal pathway till it blooms with it's hood
open at the crown of an Enlightened Master.
The name "Nile", pertaining to the Nile River, the name itself means "blue."
Nile is a Sanskrit word which means blue. People still call it "The Blue Nile."
They've known all about this stuff,
about the secrets of Creation, DNA, DMT, etc.
for millions of years in India, at least.
Egyptians also got their ideas of reincarnation from traveling Hindu mystics;
specifically, that an individual, immortal soul
repeatedly undergoes reincarnation until it reaches liberation.
One of the Great Pyramids of Egypt
has the ancient Indian text "The Bhagavad-Gita"
carved into the inner rock wall of one of the Pyramid chambers.
The engraving is said to date back many thousands of years.
The Egyptians got their practice of soaking Blue Lotus flowers in wine from India.
The Lotus flower originates in India and was a key ingredient in
many alchemical elixirs,
as well as the subject of many ancient legends regarding Hindu spirituality.
The entire Chakra System of Yoga and Tantra,
which Osirus's "Third Eye" is referring to,
was also discovered by Ancient Indians.
The secrets of The Third Eye, also known as the pineal gland,
has been a key focus of many mystical Yoga practices
for millions of years in India.
Pythagoras, the West's great mathematician and mystic, enrolled himself
in an Egyptian Mystery School, where they turned him down at the gates
because they said he must purify himself first, by fasting for 40 days
and doing a meditation in which you watch your breath and focus on your
Third Eye, the source of DMT.
This is a very ancient Indian meditation technique, also explained
by Krishna to his disciple and friend Arjuna
in the ancient Indian scripture Bhagavad Gita.
But the technique FAR predates the Bhagavad Gita.
Aside from Ancient Egypt,
the only other civilization that had extensive knowledge
of such advanced mathematics was Ancient India.
Evidence now shows that not only did ancient Babylonian geometry
have it's source in The Shulbasutras (Ancient Indian mathematics texts),
but Egypt's system of mathematics was also derived from The Shulbasutras.
The Shulbasutras were created for the purpose
of designing strict altars for Vedic (Indian) rituals.
Research has clearly shown
that in EVERY time period of Ancient Egypt's monuments,
common trapezoidal Vedic altars can be found.
A story tells of how Egyptian Civilization goes as far back
as the time of Lord Parashurama in India.
The Ancient Indian Scripture Mahabharata explains that
Parashurama killed all the ruling kings in India
who were cruel, dishonest, and corrupt;
those who were against the Vedic culture.
The Mahabharata further explains
that the earliest kings of Ancient Egypt
were originally the miscreant kings and warriors
who had fled India due to their fear of Lord Parashurama.
Once they settled in Egypt,
they started their own perverted, distorted version of India's Vedic culture.
It was also known that the ancient Egyptians believed
that their entire civilization originated "across the sea in a land to the East."
Go east across the Arabian Sea and you land on the west coast of India.
There's a lot more info out there than I feel like posting here
that shows Egypt's Indian origins.
The point I'm trying to make
is that any spiritual knowledge worth knowing
that came out of Egypt, has its source in India,
so one should seek there for the answers,
or rather, for the questions.
Re: Pineal Gland.Mon, January 8, 2007 - 9:44 PMI don't know Om.
What are your resources of your claims?
Seems a bit wishy-washy to me.
You posted a similar topic om the dmt ribe and failed to respond to some good questions by Kevin.

Re: Pineal Gland.Mon, January 8, 2007 - 10:07 PMLook fwd to it, OM. Nice to hear the real goods from someone who actually lives in India and knows what may be the oldest light language the Earth has ever seen.
Re: Pineal Gland.Tue, January 9, 2007 - 3:11 AMi just can not resonate with that will try thu
BUT: do you know the egyptian language too?
For what I know that is created from Right side as a word (male) and left side of the brain as a pisture - simbol (PHI-male)
Also mayan language has it
But Sanskrit?
somehow something in missing here or my information is not complite
Enlighten me
For image talking is enherated from far Lemurian time
For we do not create with words but with images boren from our left side of the brain
Isn't it , that the words you are refering to came from the same sorce
And language of simbolism is basicly the same
For after the fall of Atlantida masters like Thoth&Shiset - Egypt , and others went to a different places (Mayas,...)on Earth to spread the knowledge of immortality
For the real date of the Keops and Mayan piramides appired to be much older. curse of the new tecnology for the written history.
Something does not fit together
For me it is more like the same ground of all civilizations
As for gods on wings =Symbolisem - universal language for all to understand Language of unity
Re: Pineal Gland.Tue, January 9, 2007 - 3:21 AMSorry this was reffering to OM
I deffenitely resonate with video :)
Re: Pineal Gland.Tue, January 9, 2007 - 10:17 AMHey Anistara (and anyone else)....you might enjoy this interesting paper I just came across in my search for more info about the Spirit Molecule:
sweet synchronic secret-ions cont...Tue, January 9, 2007 - 10:17 AMin other words, the gateway is thru the endocrine system.
this is fascinating stuff bernard....
really resonates with recent personal experiences of mine as well, although mine are with the gland a little lower...
mo fun facts:
from wikiworld:
The thymus is also present in most vertebrates, with similar structure and function as the human thymus. Some animals have multiple secondary (smaller) thymi in the neck, this phenomenon has been reported for mice [12] and also occurs in 5 out of 6 human fetuses.[13]
When animal thymic tissue is sold in a butcher shop or at a meat counter, thymus is known as sweetbread.
btw, anyone have a subscription for nature.com?
if so, could you please share this:
consider me curious but lazy and cheap...
It's nothing newTue, January 9, 2007 - 11:10 AMnone of these "Pineal Gland Revelations"
are anything new.
"The spirit molecule: a revolutionary theory
on what I think is going on!"
would be a more appropriate title for strassman's work
he's not doing anything knew
and neither are any other scientists.
the whole idea, discovery of "Third Eye" freakin' originated
in India!!!
Why do you think people where chandlows, bindus,
a.k.a. the red dots on the center of their foreheads, they've
been doing this for eons.
It's to remind them of the Third Eye.
Why do you think sandalwood paste / oil is such a huge thing in India?
(sandalwood is also native to India and originates there)
cuz it smells good?
sandalwood gives off a scent that corresponds with the
proper functioning of the Third Eye
It's oil on the forhead makes one more alert, more aware.
Most upside-down and lying-down Asans, Yoga postures,
were designed for the sole purpose of stimulating your Third Eye,
not for the purpose of being able to imitate a pretzel or better your
sex life.
An Ancient Raja/Kriya/Ashtanga Yoga practice is to slice between
1/8th and 1/16th inch of a certain nerve tissue beneath the tongue,
every 3-6 months, for several years, until the The Yogi's tongue
can reach back and up into his brain and pierce his Third Eye.
The Yogi pierces his pineal with his tongue and it causes massive
amounts of DMT, or Amrita, to drip down.
You don't think my knowledge is truthful or reliable
because it doesn't say "random house encyclopedia, page 1000,
paragraph 12" at the end of every one of my sentences.
It doesn't amuse me to make stuff up.
Take it or leave it.
Re: It's nothing newTue, January 9, 2007 - 11:24 AMOm, you're cracking me up!
Keep it coming!!
I just wonder ....why are so head-bend that "it" all "originated" from India?
Who cares?
is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 8:09 AMi'm getting an air of frustration or anger in this relay. something isn't jiving and it could just be presentation. maybe its just me... ?
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 9:29 AMNow that you mentioned it, Anistara, it does sound very frustrated (I suppose you are talking about Om's posts) mixed with some anger.
I actually would listen if the whole presentation would be a bit more constructive, mature, with compelling evidence and resources to his claims other than "this is the way it is becasue I say so and I know it all , so it is the truth, take it or leave it".
I'm skeptical about anyone who claims to know it all, especially with that kind of attitude
However, I still don't get his point. It sounds to me like a kid who wants to be recognized that he "saw it first"....(who cares?)....and he sounds far from being a yogi to me........in fact his ego seems to be in the way of the presentation.
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 9:43 AMBernard,
Who the hell are you to judge me?
I NEVER ONCE said i was a "yogi"
or anything like that.
Im just presenting knowledge that I have,
that i like sharing with everyone,
and you're passing snide remarks
and insults at me for no reason whatsoever.
And who are you to decide what Ego is and what Ego isn't?
Only Ego can see Ego, so if you saw it first, then
you aren't exactly perfect either, friend.
"It sounds to me like a kid who wants to be recognized"
WTF should it matter how it sounds to you?
who cares about your biases and personal opinions?
and what does it matter that I'm a "kid" ?
is age somehow a determining factor in assessing
one's awareness or intelligence? No? Then shut the fuck up.
Revelations 15:40Wed, January 10, 2007 - 10:03 AM"And ye shall know the time is nigh,
when the sound of AllThereIs,
that which ye hear as OM,
speaks the commandment forewith,
'Shut the fuck up.'"
f'in classic...
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 10:25 AMOne of my best friends studied and meditated with the Maharishi in India for over 25 years (since she was 14 years old) and I can say, not from my experience, but from hers, that lots of what Om is saying is right on. And not only that, it goes much deeper.
Where I live, a number of people I know regularly go to live in India. India is a land filled with ancient piety, and much advanced (in our terms) knowledge of the glands and the body and various "levels" of consciousness accessed, distilled and taught through meditation, yoga and study - In India reside the Quanum Physicists of Spirituality, not the only ones.
If there is going to be any real understanding your words Om, it will be from people with some semblance of appreciating for that the place we call India, a complex tapestry of ancient spiritual tradition and several world ages overlapping all at once.
One could speak of many different things when it comes to India.
I personally enjoy what Om is sharing in a way that expresses his frustration at meeting so many people on here who think that one book on meditation is something new in India, when in fact, yogis have been slipping in and ot of God consciousness for 10s of thousands of years.
I think its great that the western mind, so long considered lost to fear and lords of materiality by our Eastern brothers and sisters, is starting to synch up with the magic of physical ascension and light bodies.
I also think this conversation is interesting because we have slipped into a period for the coming together of the east and west the left and right brain.
Om is brining the voice of someone who has not just learned from books. His passion speaks to me as much as his information, much of which would benefit from further discussion, which, in my opinon would be benefitted by Om perhaps listening to his responses and trying to break it down into neat left brain packets that fit with western spiritual jargon, sayings categories and waves, like the entheogenic shamanistic wave and so on.
Those Indian teachers that do write books for the West do so with a good sense of their audience. For instance, one book largely based on the Teachings of the Maharishi in terms of the Unified Field Effects of Consciousness (known in Indian before Quantum Physicists in the West "discovered" it) is written by a whity guy trained in wester medicine and familiar with western fields of thought. The point is they both synch up.
It is a matter of communication both ways.
If someone is interested in how Om's style of speech is used, why not ask him directly and say, "Hey, Om, what are you frustrated about?" Seems he addresses that in his post, if you were reading it.
And Om makes a true statement (why I am reminded of in my own life). Only ego (self-judgement) can see ego.
Let's play nice!
On the one hand, Om offers much. On the other hand, Bernhard did start this thread with a particular topic in mind.
Om, perhaps you could relate more about the pineal gland and why it is so important in awakening awareness. I myself would like to know.
I have the Spirit Molecule book as well. and I like it.
I want to hear everybody. I don't want to read veiled insults as to someone's presentation.
We all equals here and we all bringa wealth.
India is India. Also, wherever each of us is from is a spiritual homeland, for really do not all spiritual lands and traditions speak of one being and one source?
It makes me smile to read Om's frustration and not having all the "sourcees" and "references" to support what he knows to be true from his life and experience. Alas, we need both. The one tree has branched in many ways and many are the ways that the branches have bent and swayed to come back to galactic attunement to the one being and the law of one.
Wisdom speaks in many ways.
There is no one here, from what I have read, who is not "full of it" (wisdom I mean"
Can't we all get along?
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 10:29 AM"Then shut the fuck up."
Sorry Om, I made the connection that someone who calls homself Om and claims to know so much about India is maybe a yogi?
Obviously you're far from it. My bad.
Btw, I have no idea how old you are. I haven't checked your profile. You could be 64 . All I'm saying is that your posts SOUND LIKE being from a kid who obvioulsy is struggling with some anger issues. I really don't care how old you are in human years.
In any way, I take your advice and won't waste my focus/time and energy on you anyomore.....
"Shut the fuck up" would suit you better as your signature than "Om"
Maybe change it, so people don't get confused.
Enjoy your hair.
Peace out.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.Unsu...
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 10:37 AM...and OF COURSE I have an ego....just like everyone else on here (otherwsie you would not be on here, duhh!)....some people just think they are better or know better.........and anyone who tells me to shut the fuck up I cannot take serious, sorry.........I'm not offended or anything, because I don't take myself serious to being with.........for me it's all comedy anyway.....so it's all rather amusing....and Om is a great comedian.......not too much in regards to what he has to say, but the way he presents it and the way he reacts when someone questions his claims...........it cracks me up...sorry!
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.Unsu...
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 10:38 AMBernhard, man, you totally condescended to the man. He took the time to write a lengthy post that he obviously wanted to contribute to this thread and you dismissed in one fell swoop as angry.
If I decided to take every single person to task who sounded a bit angry on this tribe we would never get anywhere, especially since I myself would be the subject of endless debate.
Om was lashing back at the shock, I fear, of not being listened to when he took great pains to express his thoughts, included in which he presented the context for his frustration in plain and, I think fair terms.
I will not sit by and see one person singled out as "angry" just because he is reponding to having people stand around the proverbial water cooler and discuss his state of mind instead of his words.
Surely you don't take ME for a fool? Any of you.
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 10:53 AMDamn, Golden, you seem to know Om very well as you speak up for him so much. He can't do it for himself?
All I asked was to have some compelling evidence/references for his claims.......besides presenting it in a "know it all " fashion with a "take it or leave it" attitude and if you question Om then he'll tell you too shut the fuck up............
You know what, Golden, I really don't care about what Om has to say........it's actually competely irrelevant to what I'm researching in regards to DMT lately. I was just agreeing with Anistara about the obvious frustration and anger in his posts....which is a bit surprising coming from a man who is supposed to be so wise and knowledgable.
That's all I wanted to point out....so I pushed his buttons....and yours too, I guess......welcome to the club.........let'g get together and eat some mushrooms..........how about 5g each?.....or a hit of DMT?........that should take care of anyone's ego, mine, his and yours.. ...and then go over it again. I'm up for it. Let's do it!!!
and for the rest of it all...I just like to quote the Hopi Indians:
"At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey, comes to a halt."
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 11:30 AMEvidence for his "claims"? You make it sound like his whole post was speculation, which is rude and non-receptive.
Proof that Indians have red dots on their foreheads and have used sandalwood past for thousands of years?
Who doesn't know that? Do you have any proof of your claim to be reading about the DMT molecule?
(in the spirit of fair play)
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 10:53 AMIt would be really interesting to me to see what it is that folks mind so much (or find so humourous) about the suggestion that much of culture comes from India (Or Indus Valley).
Truly this is a huge claim that would require extensive research, but its not an outlandish thought by any means and nor does it de facto negate Egypt or any other center of enlightenment study.
What is humourous to me is how quickly people can dismiss such a thing while not presenting any intelligent counterclaim and absolutely no evidenc to the contrary.
As it stands. It's one persons thought and passion.
Very interesting to see the responses.
BTW, I also like the notion of Celtic origins presented by Tsarion. Yet, in all ways, I look forward to the spirit of oneness returning to its aboriginal root in all human hearts.
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 11:40 AM"What is humourous to me is how quickly people can dismiss such a thing while not presenting any intelligent counterclaim and absolutely no evidenc to the contrary. "
Golden, I never dismissed what Om had to say, I just didn't vibe with the presentation and I'm just not that much interested in it. I'm approaching DMT and the pineal gland form a different angel....actually I also don't care much about Egyptian culture......to me it's obvious that the ancient culttures were aware of all this......and I'm not romantesizing the Egyptians, as om claims me to do. I don't even know if any of you have read my post on top about my line of work and what I'm getting into. To me it's obviously clear that the Indians or Egyptians were aware of the mysterious pineal gland, third eye, etc as well as other cultures....and who came FIRST I really don't care either.......so a lot of what Om has to say it nothing new....I heard it all here and there before......it's more like ancient history 101....but the way he presents is is quite a bit wishy washy, in a know-it -all kind of attitude without any practical application.
So sorry for pointing that out, apparently he felt insulted. Didn't mean to.
Rather than historical facts, theories or claims, I'm actually more interested in the the present and future research of the spirit molecule and application to attain altered states of consiousness through recently discovered techniques but which haven't made the connection to the spirit molecule yet, especially in regards to the healing arts.
I'm a bodyworker/healer, so I like to appraoch it more from a practical point of view in the name of healing. As I have mentioned above there are techniques (besides the ancient Indian ones) that seem to affect the pineal gland which just have been discovered recently (I'm talking about bodywork here). Besides CranioSacral, there is another technique called Sensory Repatterning whcih has similar affects on the Body-Mind and affects the CSF and pineal gland as well as the whole Endocrine system. The state of mind I'm in after having smoked DMT or drank ayahuasca is strikingly similar to the sate of mind I'm in after a good bodywork session with said techniques.
Going even further I'm also very much interested in alternate Relaities and the dimensions/entities one ecnounters in the DMT world..........so , I guess while writing this I realize I'm better of in the DMT tribe....lol!!!!.......however, I just wanted to share this information here in case someone has something constructive to contribute along these lines, becasue I respect many people on here and I learn a lot from their insight. Some a better writers/presentors than others. Actually littelfish has just sent me an intersting link.....thank you!
So I apologize to Om and you Golden, I think we talk besides each other as my intention in the whole DMT topic is different than yours.
I realize that was my mistake, because the video obvioulsy focuses much on Egyptian culture and there is no mentioning of bodywork in there at all....lol!..... So , my bad. I'm just researching the pineal gland and DMT extensively lately, so I post some of my findings on here.
I also apologize for being condecending, if I came across that way.
This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 10:46 AMbernard,
if you get off on
slinging petty insults
then be my guest
it shows your ignorance
and nothing more
"Om" is not what i call myself
its what my family has called me
since my birth
I don't "claim to know so much about India"
I DO know so much about india
maybe because my body contains
billions of years of Indian genetics?
Might that be the reason? hmmm.......
you're an idiot for trying to make false connections
a shaman in the Amazon can be a Yogi
a white guy from Rhode Island can be a Yogi
an Indian from the Himalayas can be a Yogi;
so WTF is your point?
you hide behind redundant intellectualism
I speak from real-life experience,
not from books.
"enjoy your hair"
fool, its not even a picture of me
its some middle-aged sadhu in India
So, i'm obviously far from being a yogi, as you said
cuz i curse and get angry
for someone that NEVER CLAIMED to be a yogi in the first place,
I really don't have much of an image to try and live up to, do I?
even if everything came from India, "Who cares?" as you asked;
obviously you do,
otherwise you wouldn't be glamorizing Egypt
'romantic land of pyramids and pharaohs"
you're glass;
not hard to penetrate.
I'll quote myself here:
swans should get pearls,
monkeys should be thrown bananas.
Don't choke on the peel.
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 11:06 AMBernhard, I have not bone to pick with you. I've seen too much of what you bring to the table to want to disrespect.
(not fair about the mushrrooms btw, and perhaps one day I would have the honour)
My point is, if anyone here wrote 500 words or more to share and then, as a response people said, "Doesn't Berhard sound just angry, yet I'm not getting the relay. Is he just angry or something. Yeah."
Then maybe it might be natural to feel exactly that, angry and frustrated, since you've pretty much just told the person that is ALL you hear them saying.
My connection to OM?
I hear a passionate man who, whatever his age or background, brings a lot of evenmindedness to this rainbow roundtable of human healing and sharing. We can all get frustrated trying to bring our ideas to form and their are many currents of mind and heart flowing around here. If you don't like someone's style, fine, but there's no need to belittle, no matter how humourous you may find it.
I realize that is one tool available to the online hack (in which I include us all).
Maybe you picked up on something, Bernhard. We all have good ears and hear what needs to strike. You have come to a decision perhaps. I respect that.
But again, can't we all get along.?
We all the human here. Have all the opinions you want. I certainly exersise the liberty.
Re: is this how the yogis teach it?Wed, January 10, 2007 - 11:53 AMOm and Bernard, My brothers. In, Lakech,
I Am to remind you that what ever or whoever pushes your 'buttons" are there for you to look at . There is a reflection . Something is being asked to be brought into balance. We all have a unique view of the Creators Works. Many pathes to the same source. I have much respect for those who have thier experiences and teachings to share here . We all are looking for validation. We do not have to agree but at least we can honor each other . It matters not where on earth It started. It all comes from the same source.We all have pieces to the puzzle and it behoves to listen to eacvh other without judgment.
Thank you both for being here. I am honored by the sharing of your wisdom and life experience. May Peace be with you both.

Re: Egyptians, Afterlife, the Pineal Gland and DMTWed, January 10, 2007 - 12:03 PMI have only hear more and more good things about DMT and all signs tell me its going to increase in awareness.
I read Bernhards origional post and I love it all. I just want to sit back and read more of this discussion.
Thanks, Bernhard and everyone.
Re: Egyptians, Afterlife, the Pineal Gland and DMTWed, January 10, 2007 - 12:12 PMfor a more constructive discussion about the connection between India and Egypt go here. It's based on the same video as I posted it over there as well:
Personally I'm not interested in that discussion, as I look at the Spirit Molecule from a different angel, as mentioned in my previous post.
So I won't engage in it....but rather shut the #$!& up............:-)......and focus on my attention elsewhere.
Egyptians, Afterlife, the Pineal Gland and DMT videoFri, January 12, 2007 - 1:30 PMAt 51:12 there is on the pedestal the text: "hinc sapientia"
"Sapientia" is wisdom and "hinc" essentially is "from here or... a source of" so, the pedestal or area near it is a source of wisdom.
The mem, the letter of "water" (mayim) symbolizes the fountain of the Divine Wisdom of Torah. Just as the waters of a physical fountain (spring) ascend from their unknown subterranean source (the secret of the abyss in the account of Creation) to reveal themselves on earth, so does the fountain of wisdom express the power of flow from the superconscious source. In the terminology of Kabbalah, this flow is from keter ("crown") to chochmah ("wisdom"). The stream is symbolized in Proverbs as "the flowing stream, the source of wisdom."
In particular, we are taught that there are thirteen channels of flow from the superconscious source to the beginning of consciousness. These channels correspond to the Thirteen Attributes of Mercy revealed to Moses at Sinai, as well as to the thirteen principles of Torah exegesis, the (superrational) "logic" of Torah.
The mem is the thirteenth letter of the alef-beit. In Kabbalah we are taught that "thirteen mems," as it were, appear in the "primordial air," the (outer) "space" into which the letter lamed soars. Each attribute of mercy is in fact a contraction of relatively Infinite wisdom, at the level of the superconscious ("waters that have no end"), in order to channel and reveal a flash of wisdom on to the "screen" of consciousness. Conscious wisdom draws its points of insight primarily from that attribute of mercy referred to in Torah as "He retains kindness for thousands of generations," whose initial letters spell the Hebrew word for "stream, "the first word in the previously quoted phrase, "the flowing stream, the source of wisdom."
In at'bash, mem transforms to yud, the point of wisdom or revealed insight, the drop of water emerging from the fountain of the mem.
The words for "one" (echad) and "love" (ahavah) both equal thirteen, the secret of the letter mem. The closed, final mem, the source of the fountain of wisdom connected and included within its subterranean, superconscious source, corresponds to the secret of echad, "one." The open mem, from which emerges the point (yud) of conscious insight, is the first manifestation of love (i.e., will to cling to another) in the soul. The connection between the two fountains of the mem, the "closed" fountain and the "open" fountain, is by the power of the Thirteen Divine Attributes of Mercy. This is the secret of G-d's Essential Name Havayah - the "Name of Mercy." The Name Havayah equals 26 = 2 times 13, the union of "one" and "love," the power to draw into consciousness the wisdom of Torah.

Get your cortisol levels down.
Urgent message to Mark and opinion of Forum members.
Hi Mark and everyone. Here is the thing. Going primal has made me FAT!!! before anyone assumes anything here is my background. I was an ex body builder and competed in women's body building. So I was and still very strict with how I ate. Never had any fats such as butter or cream and only ate lean protein, always free range and lots of vegetables and I would have fruit such as strawberries and apples once a day. I did have oats in the morning with my breakfast but lived off egg whites not the yolk. When I was introduced to Marks daily apple I thought this is what I need to break out of my strict regime and get my body to being healthy. So I do cross fit training now, I eat all organic/free range butter, cream and meat and loads of green vegetables. I walk 4-5 days a week for about 45 minutes to one hour, here is the thing I am getting fatter.
Get your cortisol levels down.
I am totally not stressed at all. I do yoga, meditate daily. I live in Tasmania, Hobart a beautiful place to not be stressed in.
? What does this mean?"loads of green vegetables"
You are eating too many carbs. If you are eating any nuts or fruits then stop or drastically reduce these until your weight is in control.
I suggest 25 carbs or LESS per day. Have you eliminated ALL Oatmeal & ALL grains completely? A bowl of Oatmeal is equal to a bowl of jelly beans.
Also seriously look into your Leptin. See this link:
I measure my ketones each day with keto sticks and at 25 carbs or less, I expect to be mildly ketonic each day. Just ONE apple eliminates ketones for up to 24 hours ! You should also occasionally measure your blood sugar levels before breakfast. Should be between 80 to 90 and definitely below 100.
Do you have belly fat? How much do you weigh & how tall are you? What exactly are you drinking?
Hi there I don't eat oats now I haven't eaten them for four years, just to clarify I have been on Primal for four years, and I am not exaggerating I have a 'muffin top' from eating fats such as butter and cream. My carbs are only vegetables and they are all greans at most meals, such as broccoli, zucchini, bok choy, spinach and silver beet. not all at once at each meal I would normally have 2 -3 vegetables, all up maybe two cups. I only eat sweet pot once a week maybe not even that and pumpkin. I have stopped eating fruit apart from berries. Yep I do have belly fat I can grab onto it with both hands.
That is not the reason for your muffin top.I have a 'muffin top' from eating fats such as butter and cream.
I suggest you very strictly follow this optimized Paleo Diet:Yep I do have belly fat I can grab onto it with both hands

This has done miracles for many on this board, myself included.
How much do you weigh & how tall are you? What exactly are you drinking?
Last edited by Grizz; 10-17-2011 at 03:38 AM.
I only drink water and herbal tea. I was having black coffee with cream but have stopped that. I alllow myself 1-2 glasses of red wine a week. SOmetimes I don't have.
I weigh 60kg and my height is 176cm. I know my weight should be between 65-70 but honestly I would have 8 fat rolls instead of the three I have now on my stomach.
I have just read the link you sent me, thanks, I don't have any cravings, I only eat three meals a day now, used to be 6 with body building which was four years ago and I now believe if I ate Fat like he mentioned I will become fatter!!! Sorry but I have been strict primal for four years and have not seen the results!
60 kg = 132.277 lb
176 cm = 5.7 feet
Congrats to you. You are in so much better shape than many on this board, you could be obese or worse! Losing the last 5 lbs is extremely tough especially for women.
I'm very sorry to say, but your fruits & treats have got to go. NO wine and NO snacking-EVER, even if it is healthy nuts. After your belly fat has gone, then it is time to reward yourself with treats. You have no choice but to slash your carbs to 25 or less per day, I don't care what color they are.
Try Coconut Manna for your treat.
I suggest following this diet to the letter for 8 weeks:

Did you pass the Mirror Test? If not, then follow his diet plan to the letter. The "Mirror Test" is the main determination.thanks, I don't have any cravings,
Follow Dr. Kruse for the 8 weeks and see if that doesn't work for you.
If it doesn't work, then try something else. ( I am certain it will work out well for you )
Your problem is caused by a Hormone Imbalance, and Dr. Kruse is a specialist in this area. He lost over 150 lbs of fat himself, and so KNOWS what he is talking about. Trust him. A lot of us on this board follow him with great success.

To the authors of A Practicum of Group Psychotherapy "practical" sometimes signifies knowledge of handling dream material or the efficacy of mixing neurotics and psychotics. At other times it might suggest the use of beanbag ashtrays, hard-back chairs for pregnant patients, or the carrying of malpractice insurance. These are a few of the broad topics discussed in an effort to cover the "significant practical aspects of group psychotherapy" for workers in various settings and at different levels of competence.

The Michigan Supreme Court ruled on Friday, Aug. 3, that a repeal of the Public Act 4, Emergency Financial Law should be placed on the Nov. 6 ballot.
Michigan's highest court is controlled by Republicans, 4-3. However, GOP Justice Mary Beth Kelly broke from the majority in this case and provided the decisive vote to order the state Board of Canvassers to have the referendum put on the ballot.
Once the Board of State Canvassers meets to certify the petition on August 15 at 1:30 p.m., Public Act 4, Emergency Financial Manager Law will be suspended and the previous law, Public Act 72, will be reenacted until Nov. 6, 2012.
The revised Emergency Manager Law amended a 1990 statute that gave appointed managers the power to run cities and school districts that are in financial distress, the authority to cut spending and sell assets, and nullify labor union contracts without the approval of elected officials.
A formal opinion from Attorney General Bill Schuette was issued.
"The former Emergency Manager Law, enacted in 1990, was repealed when the Legislature approved the new and more controversial act last year," Schuette said. "But the repeal of Public Act 72 (the old law) has been rendered ineffective unless (PA 4, the new law is) approved by the electors."
Opponents of Public Act 4, Standup for Democracy, collected over 226,000 valid petition signatures from citizens across the state. Some citizens and local clergy expressed outrage by the stalling tactics used by the courts prior to the Supreme Court's ruling on Friday.
"This is a question of justice, decency and honesty. We signed a petition and the petition has been violated. Let the people decide," said Norman Thomas, pastor of Sacred Heart.
Detroit NAACP President Rev Wendell Anthony applauded the state high court, saying, "It was never the intent of the framers of the Constitution and the Founding Fathers to usurp the power of the people based on the financial distress of a local community. Less we forget the 13 colonies were in financial distress when they were compelled to come together to forge a Declaration of Independence.
"They did not petition King George III of England for an emergency manager. Their petition ultimately would lead to the creation of the United States Constitution."
Anthony said the 226,000 people from all over the state who signed the petitions did so in good faith, "trusting their government and believing in the democratic process with the belief that their voices would be heard."
Gov. Snyder noted he is in full support of citizens expressing their views, but suspension of the Local Government and School District Fiscal Accountability Act may make matters worse.
"One of the act's primary goals is to identify financial emergencies before they become full-blown crises. Suspending the law limits the state's ability to offer early intervention and assistance, and eliminates important tools that emergency managers need to address financial emergencies as quickly and efficiently as possible," Snyder said.
So far, emergency managers have been installed in four cities (Benton Harbor, Ecorse, Flint and Pontiac) and three school districts (Detroit, Highland Park and Muskegon Heights).
It is believed but not confirmed that the suspension of PA 4 would make the Emergency Financial Law null and void and therefore would require the dismissal of emergency managers that are currently on the job.

David Even looked around during Orchard Park village events like the annual Caribbean Night in July, and it appeared to attract an older crowd.
"I find I'm the only kid that helps out at events," he said. "We always have issues finding volunteers."
Now that he's in charge of finding volunteers, he has come up with a solution.
The 17-year-old, with a little help from his father, created a website, OPcommunityservice.org, that matches groups needing volunteers with youths wanting to contribute to their community.
"The web site is supposed to connect kids," he said.
The Orchard Park junior works part-time at Arthur's Hardware Store, serves on the boards of the Youth Court and the Youth Bureau, and takes two AP and three honors courses.
He also finds time to volunteer at events such as the Orchard Park Chamber of Commerce's Caribbean Night, a Taste of Orchard Park and the village ice cream social.
"It's a much bigger job than people realize, and we rely exclusively on volunteers to make sure events like these run smoothly," he said.
Town Recreation Director Ed Leak said Even came along with the website at an opportune time. Leak was named director of youth activities in the Youth Bureau this year and was tasked with expanding opportunities to teenagers beyond the Youth Court.
With the increase in special events in the town, there is a demand for more volunteers to get involved, he said, and developing a conduit to reach out to volunteers was the perfect idea.
Leak has recruited corporate sponsors to offer scholarships to the top three volunteers over the course of a year. The leading student volunteer will receive $500 to help defray the cost of post-high school education.
"The Recreation Department will be the agency monitoring it and supporting it. It will continue to evolve in opportunities and corporate sponsors," Leak said. "The beauty is, they're going to have a greater variety [of events] to choose from."
While Orchard Park High School has rescinded its requirement that all students perform community service, students still need to volunteer three hours a quarter to earn a parking pass at school, Even said.
There are other programs in and out of the school that require community service, and there are plenty of local not-for-profit, religious, educational, and Orchard Park town and village government organizations that need volunteers.
"I thought it would be a good way to help kids out and get community service," Even said, adding "I have had a bunch of people sign up for Caribbean Night already."
