Somebody make me believe I'm an angel or I'll never be it
Somebody told me I'm evil that I need to have enemies
Beside me I'll face this belief I will chase these thoughts out of me
Now get your courageous knees, never shaking, out front and lead

Don't place your long time beliefs
Too far away from the only Bible needed
Don't throw away your LOVE...Blasphemy!!!
You know you created it all!

Did I miss something here I've been giving away my Divinity
I've been listening to people deceiving me saying I'll never be Him
And they said I need to kneel down and praise something outside of me
But they're way off base I won't bow to Jesus or any Deity...Any Deity except for me!

Don't place your long time beliefs
Too far away from the only Bible needed
Don't throw away your LOVE...Blasphemy!!!
You know you created it all!

Don't gaze for answers outside you believe me you'll never need them
No race to the future no hanging onto pieces you'll never keep them
The place for the manger is inside you and me ready to conceive
A blind man could lead me there through the silence of seeing...see it!

Don't place your long time beliefs
Too far away from the only Bible needed
Don't throw away your LOVE...Blasphemy!!!
You know you created it all!
You know you created it all!
You know you created it all

The Answer To ALL Of Your Problems

2010-07-06T10:22:00.007-04:00

Firstly, I'd like to clarify that I'm not pointing out with the subject of this blog. The information contained within here is the answer to ALL of our problems, including my own. How can this be? Craig Elliott has the answer to ALL of my problems? Yes, he does. Read on and you will find 4 problems that are causing all of our misery and 4 solutions that WILL transform them for you. I send this out In LOVE.

There are truly only 4 problems in our world as I see it today. The following 4 aberrations from our true nature are what cause and create all chaos, sadness, lack, destitute, anguish, disease, wars and inequality.

1. Lack of Compassion/Awareness
2. Identification with thought/form
3. Non-Alkaline Consumption
4. Physical and Mental Stagnation

If you really spend some time considering these 4 listed items you will indeed find that they are the source of all problems in our physical, mental and spiritual world. When we truly cultivate LOVE, Stillness, Right Eating and Drinking and Adequate Movement into our lives instead of trying to work through sadness, get over loss, end our addictions, lose weight, stop smoking, stop wars, reduce or eliminate our physical pain, etc..etc...etc, we will, with absolute certainty, find that all of the afflictions we suffer from will simply disappear before our eyes without effort.

There are really only 4 things anyone EVER needs to do to solve their problems and come back to their natural state of peace and harmony with their bodies, with their lover or a friend and even with another country. These 4 things must be done individually and collectively depending on the capacity one wishes to affect change. If one is trying to change something in the world it must start with the individual and spread outward into the collective, but truly ONE person IS powerful enough to change the entire world so please do not become discouraged or unempowered about worldly issues and fall into the trap of thinking, "I'm only one person and one person can't change anything." One person can change EVERYTHING!

So here are the 4 things that must be done to solve any problem. These 4 things are not solitary medicines, they are synergistic and hence work together often times. Sometimes doing one of the following will solve your problem, however, in order to overcome what it is you wish to heal you many need to do 2 of them, 3 of them or possibly even all 4 together. I highly recommend doing all 4 because then, and this is a BOLD statement, I can guarantee you that all of your problems will begin to melt away. If you'll do these every time you have an issue I can personally give you a 100% guarantee that you will begin to move in the direction you want, if not completely transcend the issue all together instantly.

1. Meditation
2. Gratitude
3. Movement
4. Eating Alkaline

It's really that simple. If we can identify what it is we wish to change, we can truly move through and heal ANYTHING! I'll give some examples of some things that people might have issues with. The thing is, often as a culture we have erred by thinking it will take time to solve our problems, to become at peace with ourselves or others, to improve our health or to end our suffering. The TRUTH is, you can fix all of these "problems" NOW, in an instant.

For example, if you are overweight and don't think you can get into shape because you don't have time or you have been cursed with a hereditary body type or propensity towards a particular disease or that you simply just can't do it, you are really only erring in your belief. Beliefs are EVERYTHING. If you believe it you will be it without fail every time. All you really need to do to educate yourself about eating a proper diet and begin doing some sort of movement in your daily life. If you'll just do these things and not make excuses, actually DECIDE and COMMIT to doing these things with 100% tenacity and fortitude, you WILL achieve a flexible body that is not plagued by excess weight and illness.

Answer for weight issues: Google acid alkaline diet. You will find charts that show which foods are acidic and which are alkaline. If you'll follow primarily an alkaline diet I can guarantee you that you will transform your body into a healthy, trim, vibrant vessel for your soul to dwell in and express itself through. It really is this easy. The biggest thing that will get in your way is self deception. This is where using 2 or more of the 4 solutions I have listed above will come into play. The biggest obstacle we have to happiness, health and inner peace is our own mind. The part of us that most of us consider to be who they are, the mind, is the very thing that is keeping us from being all that we want to be in our lives. If you are making excuses or rationalizing why you cannot do this, it is your mind and improper thinking that is standing in the way of your success. This is where Meditation with Eating Alkaline must work together for success and if you really want to ramp it up, include Movement into your lifestyle. If you'll include all 3 a miracle will happen GUARANTEED!

So back to the reason for Meditation in the quest for health. If we will learn to meditate and actually do it on a daily basis, even if it's for 10 minutes a day and hopefully graduating up to 20-30 minutes a day, we will regain the control over our chattering and limiting minds. Truly the biggest thing our world suffers from is LIMITING BELIEFS. If we could just remove the limiting beliefs from our world, most of the problems would disappear forever, and WE CAN DO THIS, but we must start with removing our own individual limiting beliefs. Anytime you say something like....I CAN'T....BECAUSE or I would like to do that....BUT, we are limiting ourselves. I truly believe that the 2 most destructive words in the English language are CAN'T and BUT. Be extremely cautious when you catch yourself using these two Soul Killing words. CAN'T and BUT will suck the passion and life right out of your being leaving you in Victimland searching and searching for answers that you will never find. We are creating our future NOW selves with every thought and especially with every word that we utter. Everything you say about yourself and about others is creating your own experience and reality, as well as the reality you perceive of others.

Here is a link to another blog I wrote a while ago that will give you ALL of the tools necessary to learn how to meditate. There is NOTHING else you need to do this. You don't need to go to a class, you don't need a special mantra, you don't need some exclusive gear like meditation CDs and you don't need permission to do this, all you need is the DESIRE to do it and COMMITMENT to make the time to TAKE ACTION. You have all you need with the information I've provided for you in this blog...and the best thing is I'm not charging for it...I want to help you succeed and I truly believe that anyone worth their merit in service will give all of the answers away with out desire or expectation of anything in return. I believe that spiritual knowledge and wisdom should not be exclusive or privileged information. We all share a common spirituality with everything living and therefore we owe it to each other to share what we have discovered that can help our brother and sister beings to live a happier and more peaceful life.

Ramble...Ramble...Ramble...Here's the link: "I've Found The Cure-All Magic Pill" - Blog by: Craig Elliott

So there's the solution to all health issues...DONE....look no further. Eat an Alkalizing diet and you will be cured of all your ailments and weight issues. If you have physical issues, they are most likely caused by stagnation. When a pond doesn't have a constant stream of new water flowing in and old water leaving, it will stagnate and begin to putrefy. If you've ever learned anything about Acupuncture and what it is, you will know that we have energy meridians throughout our body and if there is obstruction to the flow of energy (chi) in our body we will manifest pain and illness. Just as the pond needs to be renewed by moving water in and out, we also need to move our internal waters in and out through proper hydration and movement. We need to replenish our internal rivers with fresh, new waters daily and we need to move it and our energy around through our body with some type of physical activity. This may seem so basic and it is, but it is so foundational for our well being. If you're feeling tired, the cure is usually not to sit or lay around, you'll actually have more energy and vitality if you go outside and move. Do some yoga, go for a jog, do some deep breathing exercise, do qi gong, go for a brisk walk, lift some weights. I guarantee your life will transform if you'll incorporate some kind of daily activity to keep your chi and waters flowing. Again, this is not something we need to get specialized information about, we just need to DECIDE and ACT. Strap on your Nikeys and JUST DO IT! 8-)

So I have addressed the physical issues that people suffer from which can all be solved by Eating Alkaline and Movement. Now I will address the mental suffering a lot of people are enduring needlessly. We are not meant to suffer for long periods of time. This is not the way it is in Nature. When a flower is plucked it dies quickly. When seeds fall on the ground they either grow right away or they don't..and they don't get disappointed in themselves if they fail to grow, they just die and transform themselves back into the Earth for reuse. It does not take time to heal yourself. The only reason it is taking so long for us to heal our wounds is because we have put a time label on how long it should take or will take. We can transform ourselves NOW with gratitude in every instant. For me, it took me a while to understand and realize what it means to be in gratitude. I have recently begun asking guidance, in gratitude, from something greater than myself and it is transforming my life. I have also begun thanking the Earth as I walk upon her for all she provides for us and actually taking the time to walk upon her and connect with her. I thank the wind, I thank the sun....oh my...the sun has been so powerful for me. I'll go outside in the sun and look up towards the radiant beauty of the sun (with my eyes closed) and ask the sun to purify my energy field and being and thank it for giving loving rays of light and heat to me and to all of us. We have so much to be grateful for in our lives and if we'll just take some time to step back inside our bodies and connect with stillness we'll realize all of the wonderful and magical things that we overlook when we're busy "gettin 'er done." Life is not about getting things done. Life is about experiencing in joy. Everything physical you create will be destroyed, everything you experience in joy will live on forever. We MUST take the time NOW to connect with our true nature through stillness, meditation and gratitude or we'll continue to be lost in the external, transient forms and be constantly disappointed by it's temporal nature.

Freedom is here for us right NOW if we'll claim it. If we'll make the time for ourselves, if we'll decide that there is nothing more important than getting in touch with our deepest self and going within to discover the magic, beauty, peace and bliss that is who we really are behind all of the external masks and identifications, we will begin to live a life that is so far beyond anything we could have imagined that it will absolutely blow our minds.

I invite you to use these 4 solutions to ALL problems in your life to help you create miracles for yourself and everyone around you. Every time you are suffering, every time you feel upset or empty or powerless, remember these 4 simple yet effective things you can do. If you feel like you want to lose weight, reach for a salad instead of a steak. If you feel like you can't get over some emotional attachment, spend more time meditating. If you feel like you're alone in this world and you can't relate, ask for support and guidance and take some time and thank the world, everyone and everything in it. Go out in your yard and thank the grass for growing so you can enjoy it's beauty and walk upon it, thank the trees for growing so strong and tall and for providing so much oxygen for us all and cleansing the air. Be thankful and really mean it! Go hug a tree and say I LOVE YOU to it. Say I LOVE YOU to someone you care about...say I LOVE YOU to yourself.

Single handedly, if you'll spend enough time meditating, this practice will break though and explode ALL of your obstacles, it will extinguish ALL of your emotional fires that have been burning down your energetic house, it will connect you with your internal infinite peace, it will give you a greater ability to make decisions that are more in alignment with what you want instead of what you have been doing habitually for years or lifetimes and it will give you back your self-confidence. Meditation will give you the gift of an inner radiance that will shine out through you like the biggest, brightest, blazing sun, lighting up the world with your LOVE.

So in closing I will just say this. Stick with this, for you. Don't stop doing these 4 solutions EVER. Make them your way of being. If you can't cope with something...meditate. If you can't get over something...meditate.

I will give you one last thing that you can do that will absolutely transform your life and bring you into connection with peace and gratitude. I do this all the time, every time I feel any resistance inside of me for whatever reason. I will repeat in my mind, "I NOW release my need to be right." Over and over and over again, I will repeat this and eventually it will eliminate the resistance to whatever it is in your life or your mind that you are butting up against internally or externally. It's actually really surprising how fast this cuts through my ego and it's need to be right about everything. Any time I'm upset, it's ALWAYS about me needing to be right or resisting what is and this can again be broken down to needing to be right or needing to be in control. This will work for you if you'll remember to do it anytime you have upset, worry, anxiety or stress. Tie a string around your finger, buy a special ring, bracelet or necklace. Whatever it takes to remember this and the 4 Solutions To ALL problems.

You CAN do this. I believe in you and I LOVE YOU!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for finally taking the time for yourself, YOU'RE WORTH IT!

In LOVE, Peace and Bliss

What Does Your Pain Body Look Like?

2010-04-24T11:13:00.030-04:00

Today, I had a pain body attack. You might be asking yourself, "Umm...what the heck is a pain body attack?" First let me describe to you what a pain body is. A pain body is a negative, dense and dark energy that is trapped within your energy field. It is caused by suppressing emotions, traumas, learned fear and negativity. When we don't fully release our emotions and cleanse them, we store a small, or large amount of the emotional energy within our personal energy field and chakra system and some of that gets stored in the collective energy field since we are, at the basis of reality, one energy field experiencing itself subjectively. What happens is, we repress our childhood trauma or the emotions due to a rape or physical attack or the pain caused by the emotional abuse of a partner or even the fear instilled in us by our governments, religious organization and friends and family.

After the original, acute source of pain has passed, time begins it's healing process; however, if we have not fully owned the experience and absolved the issue and/or the one who caused us this pain, the only thing time will do is fade and erode the surface of the rock leaving a seemingly cleaner surface, but nevertheless still a rock.
I suppose, using the water eroding a rock analogy, if given enough time water could fully erode the entire rock (problem/emotional pain and energy), however this may take eons and in our case an entire lifetime or possibly multiple lifetimes. Do we really want to wait an entire lifetime and possibly live another or several lifetimes to see if we've released something from our childhood or pain that occurred during our adolescents or adulthood? Is it possible to be free of this pain body now? The answer is yes!

Here is a 2 part audio excerpt from Eckhart Tolle's - A New Earth describing the pain body:

First I will illustrate a few of the symptoms of my own pain body so you can get a feel for and start to see it in yourself and possibly bring some awareness and through that, space around it so you don't have to identify with it or at least you'll be able to recognize it and acknowledge that it was in fact your pain body speaking or acting out and not you. You are the essence behind the activities, personality, labels and mental concepts that transcends all pain, guilt, grief and torment. You are the ghost inside the machine or as a friend of mine Jason Cook from Souls In Progress puts it: you are the light inside the projector; the source of the film, not the drama that unfolds on the screen. You are the light that makes it possible to experience any movie at all in the first place, you are the creator of your life and observer or your reality.

So what does my pain body look like? I will attempt to elucidate the features of my own pain body or one might say the symptoms I experience when I'm experiencing a pain body attack. Today, what I noticed was that I stopped looking directly at the person I was talking to. I was having a bit of a discussion with someone and it got heated. At some point I noticed that I was unable to look this person in the eye anymore. It was as if I didn't want her to see me anymore and I was hiding my eyes so that she could not see the pain inside of me; it wanted to close down and end the conversation. The pain body in me wanted to leave, it wanted to leave town, leave the country and go off alone and be by myself. I have done this before where I left the province and now I realize that it was in part my pain body wanting to escape; so giving up or 'defeat and retreat' is the theme here. There is no escaping the pain body because you carry it with you and you'll just create new "problems" and dramas that will keep it activated and charged up so to speak. In Eckhart Tolle's book: A New Earth, he describes the pain body as needing to feed every once in a while. Once it gets it's fill or recharges itself energy, it goes back to being dormant until something else triggers it or it needs to feed again to sustain itself.

Another thing I noticed that my pain body likes to do is to blame everyone else for the life circumstances that are uncomfortable for me. For example, if I'm currently in a situation where I have some financial uncertainty, it likes to blame everyone else for not doing their part or blaming my Mom for kicking me out or blaming the stock market for being so erratic or it sometimes will point the finger at myself for "being so stupid." Most of the time, however, it's favourite thing to do is point the finger of blame outward for "something that he or she (fill in a name here) has done to me. This is the poor, disempowered, little victim coming out to play to try to attract sympathy for all the things that have gone wrong in my life; oh woe is me.

I'll list one final characteristic that I have recognized about my pain body and then I'll explain what I did today to "deliver (myself) from evil" or should I say Ego. Now this is something I've felt my entire life; a feeling of being not understood. Throughout my lifetime, I have felt as though I was different and as though there was nobody who could understand who I am and what I'm going through, but mostly that I couldn't relate to anyone and them not to me. I have now realized that this is also my pain body and ego wanting to be separate from others. By saying to myself, "No one understands me and I just can't relate to this world," I'm saying I'm separate. Sure, maybe I am a little different than everyone else and there are many things about this world that I don't get. I don't get why there are so many people dying every day from needless starvation, I don't understand why we have to pay someone (government) to live and buy things when they spend the money on creating wars and looting the worlds resources so that scarcity remains the main attribute of our existence as humans interacting with the Earth, I don't understand why if I stop working I will die because I will end up on the street and invariably starve because of lack of resources...and on and on. I could list a thousand things that I don't get about this world. Now here's the kicker. While this may all be true, that I can't relate to the world in so many ways; if I'm coming from this place, I'm am myself creating separation and not being okay with what is. By putting up a barrier between what I can understand about the world and myself, I'm erecting a wall, divorcing myself from all that is.

Here is a video with people describing their pain bodies and what lies beyond it:

We are truly connected to all things, circumstances, people and energies in the world and this is provable through String Theory and now the current incarnation M Theory and Quantum Physics - A great film to learn a little bit about Quantum Physics and the interconnected nature of our reality is: What the Bleep!? - Down the Rabbit Hole. On an external level, take away the water and we all die, take away the air and we all die, take away the bees and we all die, cut down all the trees and we all die. These are examples of our interconnectedness on the physical level. On the metaphysical level or the beyond physical level, we can experience this oneness through deep meditation and true LOVE communion with another being or through exercises like Qigong, Yoga, Tai Chi and various other methods. Have you ever thought of someone who you haven't spoken to in a long time and just then the phone rings and it's them on the other end? Or, have you ever knew something through a dream or just a knowing that ended up being true or read someone's mind or even experienced any time of intuition where you just acted out of knowing instead of logic and found it to be exactly the right thing to do and if you hadn't something bad would have happened. Indeed, we are all one and if we'll just spend some time getting to know ourselves at a deeper level, beyond the mind, we will begin to experience this oneness as a part of our daily experience.

Okay, so back on track now. I said I was going to explain what I did today to free myself from the pain body attack that I had earlier today. I did a few things that I have learned on my own and 3 things that I have learned from Jason through attending his Souls In Progress weekly gathering called, "An Evening With Souls In Progress" in St. Catharines, Ontario. First, I knelt on the Earth barefoot and used my hands, sweeping my energy field down to the Mother and asking her to take my pain body and personal story from me. I surrendered to her and kept doing these motions and saying, "take if from me," and I really wanted to give it away; I genuinely wanted relief. I did this for a few minutes and then laid down in child's pose with my hands touching the earth and my head touching the ground and I would wind up and have the intention of releasing my pain body to the Mother and then I blew it out into the ground intensely and said, "Thank you Mother." I did this a bunch of times and then continued laying there with my head resting on the Earth until I felt like I had relief. Then, I stood up on the grass and did what Jason taught us called the "Breath of Fire." I put my hands in prayer position and breathed rapidly, in and out of my nose for a few minutes; my eyes were closed during this exercise. After this, I visualized raising up the energy from the Earth with 3 quick in breaths using the groin muscles like in Kegel exercises and then did the opposite and visualized energy coming down from the heavens through my crown chakra, again with 3 quick in breaths down and holding.

After doing these exercises, I opened my eyes and it was as though everything was brand new and I was seeing the world for the first time. The grass and trees and everything thing surrounding me appeared so vivid and alive to me when before it looked mundane and ordinary, certainly not sacred. But now there was something sacred I could see that I was overlooking. The truth is, there is always something sacred behind the veil of our mind's distortions, labeling and judgments. If we just take a few moments throughout the day to connect with our breath and through that our essence, that ghost within the machine, it is my feeling that we can bring more of this sacredness into our daily lives and finally be at peace.

I hope, through my experience, that I have helped you some way in your life to step into your peace and claim your inner bliss

Sending you Peace, Love and Bliss!

Happy Easter...It's Time To Resurrect Yourself

2010-04-04T12:00:00.027-04:00

Today is Easter Sunday which is nearly universally celebrated as the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This view of what resurrection means, to me, is somewhat limited; it infers that there is an external 'God' that we should worship and that this external 'God' has power and we don't. I would like to impart on you my truth if you will. I believe the resurrection of Jesus is only a metaphor for something that we can choose everyday and in every moment of our lives. We can choose to remain "dead" so to speak or cut off from our God Nature or Buddha Nature by indulging in materialistism, blaming, lack, fear and self deprecating thinking and behaviour, or we can choose to step into our true nature.

There is no separation between you and your true nature. You don't need to pray to some external being to be "saved" or to be at peace. Today you will see many folks flocking to the churches and synagogues so that people might atone for their "sins" and honour the supposed resurrection of Jesus. I can't say yay or nay whether Jesus resurrected himself from the grave or not because I wasn't there. What I can tell you however is that there have been many, many mythologies and stories throughout human history that proclaim a saviour who died and resurrected from the dead 3 days later and was born to a virgin and so on.

For me, this ample amount of strikingly similar story boarding throughout historical mythology and religion points to something much deeper. I believe all of these stories of a saviour being born to a virgin, dying and being resurrected three days later is symbolic of a fall from grace humanity suffered or chose in our collective past. I believe the virgin birth represents our divinity and perfection, the 3 day death represents the forgetting of our divine nature and the resurrection represents the process of us reawakening to this nature once more. There are many tribes and cultures that still have a sense of connection with "Mother Earth" and something bigger than themselves, often called "The Oversoul"...."Atman"...."God"...."Buddha Nature"...."Self"...."The Higher Self"..."Source" and many other myriad of names man has ultimately given to the Self. So, not everyone has forgotten; however, to a large extent, as humanity has engaged in industrialization and a so called civilized way of living, we have indeed forgotten our divinity. It's as though we've suffered a blow and have experienced a spiritual concussion. The good thing is, now it seems as though many are in fact waking up again!

I believe that man has created myth and anthropomorphised his true nature into stories throughout time so that he might be able to relate to the unknowable. When I say unknowable, what I mean is that we can't relate or know this essence on a human level, we must transcend the human and mind aspect of ourselves. The mind cannot grasp the idea of "God"..."Source" or "Oneness" on anything more than a superficial level. The idea is just too unfathomable for thought to be able to pin it down and explain it; ultimately, it must be experienced. Words are too limited to be able to put into some sort of tangible idea what it is to know your own "God Nature." In order to understand this aspect of ourselves, we must quiet the mind; after all, the thing that wants to understand what it is we're talking about here, the mind, is the very obstacle standing in the way of knowing yourself on this deepest level.

You absolutely can know this dimension of yourself. How can I do this you might be asking? The easiest way is to be aware of your breath. By coming into alignment with your breath throughout the day, you access a gateway out of the mind and back to the source, which is your God Nature. You see, we have the ability to resurrect this God Nature within us whenever we choose; the problem is we usually don't consciously choose to create and cultivate this connection on a conscious level and hence we typically manifest lives of misery and suffering for ourselves and others due to the constant negative thought patterns we participate in. We can, however, experience freedom from the repetitive patterns that keep replaying in our life if we just step off one track and onto another one, the one that leads to peace. There is a well of peace, of love and bliss that resides inside of you and at the same time everywhere all at once, all we have to do is acknowledge it and seek it out here and now. What I would like to suggest to you is to perhaps take notice of your breath from time to time during your days and throughout your life. Every so often, as you navigate through the hours of your day, try stopping what you're doing and taking three conscious breaths. Just try it for a while and see what happens.

Through this message, it is my intention that I might inspire you to take steps toward getting to know yourself on a deeper level. It is my wish that you might take this metaphor of resurrection to another level beyond what words and form can point to and create this reality in your own life. There is an essence, beyond your mind - beyond your body, that knows no suffering and does not need to be saved. I believe the "rulers" of this world, whether they be governments, the Church or institutions or whomever, have tried to propagate, and force upon humanity, a disempowering story to keep him and herself away from knowing their inner power. These fear based establishments believe that we must be controlled and herded into unthinking and spiritually cut off sheep to do their bidding. You are not a sheep; you are an unlimited being with power beyond measure and that's exactly why we are taught to look to the outside for approval, validation and are discouraged from eating healthfully and becoming conginzant our true inner power.

I would like to give you permission and encouragement to investigate, to see if there is something deep within you that you can know to be true beyond words, thoughts or mental concepts. I am encouraging you to resurrect your own soul on this day of Easter that has so much dogma, belief and superstition wrapped around it. Take a few conscious breaths many times throughout the day to break up the incessant stream of involuntary thinking and see what happens. If you so choose, maybe think about learning how to meditate so that you might gain more personal autonomy over your mind instead of it controlling you all the time. Through conscious breathing, meditation and even the practice of cultivating gratitude, we open ourselves up to The One. You are The One...you are "God!"

I urge your now....resurrect the "God Nature" within you and step into a possibility that life can be so much fuller than you have known thus far. What if there is more to life than the mundane day to day activities and thoughts? What if you can become something more expansive, peaceful and compassionate than the limited being you have previously thought yourself to be? I wish to bestow upon on you this gift....will you accept it? We must choose at every moment whether we want to be a limited being or an unlimited being, whether we want to live in fear or love. The choice is yours; I know you'll make the choice that is right for you at this time. Whatever you decide, I wish you well on this common journey we all share called life.

Thank you for taking the time to read this...Love!

The Stillest Time To Connect With Stillness - When The Egos Are Sleeping

2010-03-11T00:58:00.009-05:00

I have been meditating for a 3 or 4 years now and what I'd like to share is my experience with late night meditating. While it is not possible for all to participate in this, at least on a regular basis, because of work and sleep schedules, I would like to suggest that you try this every so often, although it is definitely not required in order to experience the benefits of meditation.

When I began meditating, I did it because I wanted to "get something." I had watched the film The Secret and was really interested in manifesting stuff into my life. I wanted big houses and fancy cars, lots of money and other physical things. As my practice has deepened over time those material desires have lessened and to the large extent disappeared all together.The things I desire now are much different and selfless. Now I want peace for myself and for the world. I want all of the people of the world to be able to eat everyday. These two intentions are at the top of my priority list. I do intend to make money for myself, a lot of it, but this intention isn't solely so that I can have more for myself, it is so that I can experience the abundance of the Universe and help others enjoy the fundamental basic necessities and then thrive themselves.

It is 1:15am where I live right now and I am going to meditate when I finish writing this. Why so late you ask? Well, there is something different to the quality of my meditation when I do it late at night. We all have egos and we are all at different stages in our spiritual development and therefore we are all less or more identified with the incessant stream of thinking that we call our minds. When an entire city and even greater an entire country is awake, the chattering ego collective is in full force and the ether is very busy with thoughts and emotional charge. When the body goes to sleep so does the ego. It is my experience, and that of some of the teachers I listen to such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, that it is possible to connect deeper to my true nature when the egos are unconscious and not stirring, whirling up the energy field with negative or positive emotions, fears and desires. When everything is still you can tap in more easily because your own mind will be more quite since it isn't being stimulated by all of the other minds in your area, city and country. This is ideal for "Getting into The Gap" and I think if you want to put an intention out why not do it when you can connect to the gap and it has your full attention, so to speak, and isn't distracted by all of the noise of millions of buzzing minds as it is during waking hours.

I have heard it said that between 3 and 4am is the best time to meditate and I tend to agree. If you can be awake enough at this time so that you're not dozing off in mid meditation, I feel that you can take advantage of the increased stillness in your city. I can remember the first time I experienced my 3rd eye outside of a closed eyed meditation. It was during this late night window of quietude. I think I had just gotten home from a gig and it was about 3am or so. I sat down on the couch and the television was on; it was Ultimate Fighting or something and I can't stand Ultimate Fighting. Anyhow, the screen was on and yet for some reason I was watching it without watching it. I stared at the screen but I had no interest in what was on. I was just sort of viewing it and being aware of it without actually being engaged in the content when the strangest thing happened. During my meditations I had been experiencing a strange sensation in my forehead and at the top of my head. It was like someone was touching my forehead and it sort of tingled in a way and it felt like I was wearing a hat although wasn't wearing one. This would start to happen after I would sit in meditation for about 15 or 20 minutes and my mind had slowed down to the point where I wasn't so transfixed on the thoughts and they became less dense and capable of holding my attention. I went through this experience not knowing what was happening to me for a few months and then I read about the chakras and that this seemed like 3rd eye and crown chakra awakening. Back to the Ultimate Fighting. So I sit there viewing the screen and I actually started to feel these strange sensations that I had been experiencing only in my closed eyed meditations but now my eyes were open. From that point on my life forever changed.

After this experience I began experiencing 3rd 'activation' at different times and then I noticed that it occurred when I would look at something but not judge or label it. It would also occur when I said something that is what I would call "Absolute Truth." When I would say something like, "...but I'll never die" or "...I am not this body I am an eternal spirit that lives in this body." I would say something like this or something else that was the plain and simple truth. I also experienced this when I would feel or express unconditional love and when my mind would be relatively inactive. After a while I began using this sensation as a guide post to know when I was aligned with my higher nature. When I don't feel it, I know that my mind has taken over and I'm not in touch with the deeper part of myself so I'll take a second and connect with my breath and back it comes. A few conscious breaths always brings me back into connection with my "higher self."

Magical things can happen to you and your life can expand into something you've never imagined. We are so much bigger than we see ourselves from the limiting, conditioned perceptions we have of ourselves and the world. We are truly unlimited and the intent of this message is the invite you to get in touch with this unlimited aspect of yourself that lies within. The way you can do this is through meditation and if you do learn to meditate why not try doing it in the middle of the night sometimes while all the egos are sleeping to see what it's like.

All things are created out of darkness...so turn the lights out and get in touch with yourself, I guarantee you'll love getting to know who you really are beyond this limited, ephemeral body and mind...it'll blow you away into outer space and beyond!

Have fun with it and don't have any expectations. Love yourself and be patient. I promise the payoffs will be far more than the time you put into this practice and your life will explode with joy and peace.

Thank you for reading this....Love!

WOW! Now those are some awesome benefits of this Cure-All....I'm in!

So what is this Cure-All Magic Pill I'm talking about. Well, I have to admit, it's not really a pill but a practice. The thing that has been demonstrated scientifically to endow the participant these benefits is.....Meditation! That's right! Meditation has proven over and over again to help with all of these issues. Why take a prescription pill to help you sleep when Meditation will do it for you with no side affects.

The only thing you need to do is to dedicate 10-30 minutes a day to this practice. No matter how busy we are, couldn't we find 10 minutes to dedicate to this practice if we were going to see all these benefits? It's true, that's all it takes is 10 measly minutes to see the benefits. Of course, if you were to meditate longer you would see even more benefits, but, yes, you can receive the benefits of this side affect free practice in as little as 10 minutes.

So you've decided to give it a try, what next? "Okay, so how do I do it?", I can hear you asking me. While there are a few different methods I will give you 3 that have worked well for me.

Preparation:

First, You'll want to find a quite place in your house or in nature where you won't be disturbed for the time you've given to yourself to receive this gift. In personal experience I find it useful to have some sort of timer (set very quietly) so that you don't have to think about how long it's been. The point of this is the eliminate all thoughts so you definitely don't want your mind racing thinking about how much time you have left.

Secondly, an important point to look at is your seating position. You'll want to sit up so that you don't fall asleep. When I started I tried doing it lying down and I fell asleep every time and while I got a nice rest I didn't get to enter the state known as meditation. I eventually would sit on my bed but found that I would sink in too much so I would sit on a pillow to prop up my bum and put my hands on my knees in the familiar lotus pose. I've personally found that doing it exactly like you see in pictures doesn't work really well for me. You'll see people with their palms facing up and their index fingers touching their thumbs. Perhaps this will work for you but I've found that simply placing my hands on my knees (palms down) works great for me.

If this position is difficult for you for whatever reason, you can feel free to sit on a chair and I have even found it useful to sit at a coffee table with my elbows and hands on the table in front of me and my chair tucked right in so that I don't lean forward. That's one thing that tends to happen to me sometimes when I'm in lotus position. I'll be sitting there meditating and after a while I'll find myself drifting forward so I have to bring myself back to a more body conscious state and move myself back to an upright position. I find that this interrupts my meditation and it's like starting over so I try to find a position that's going to work for me in advance. Of course, you will find what works for you though experimentation so don't be discouraged if you find it's not perfect right away. It will never be perfect and that's not the point of it anyhow.

Also, I suggest meditating in a dark room and if you don't have this available to get an eye covering to block out the light. This is not an absolutely necessary measure by any stretch but I find it useful as it stops your eyes from transmitting light information that is perceived even through your closed eye lids.

Method #1

Breathing Awareness:

What you'll do for this type of meditation is to find your sitting position, close your eyes and breath in and out through the nose. You want to bring your attention to the breath coming in through your nose and filling up your belly and coming back out and back through your nose during the exhale. There's another good point. When you breath in you will want to do what is called a complete breath where you're breathing into th lower belly and not into the chest. Proper breathing is done where the chest doesn't move much and the lower belly expands with the inhale and contracts when you expel all of your air. Don't make too big a deal about this but just be aware of how you're breathing. Don't think about it too much; maybe practice doing some belly breathing, say 10 slow breaths in and out before you start your meditation.

Another technique I've found useful is to pretend you're breathing in through your forehead. Now I know this sounds weird but it has worked well for me. In the beginning my breathing was so spastic that I had a hard time focusing on my breathing because my belly wouldn't be making any sort of smooth movement as I tried to focus on my breathing. My abdomen would move in and out in an erratic manner like an inexperienced accordion player. By bringing my attention to my forehead and imagining the breath coming in through it instead of my nose, I was able to forget about the actual mechanics of my breathing and just become one with it.

Method #2

Mantra Repetition:

A mantra is simply a word repeated over and over again. You can use any word, phrase or intention you want. The only purpose of this is to focus your mind into a single point. This is also the point of the breathing awareness technique but mantra meditation is a different animal all together.

First things first. Pick a word or sound that is easy to repeat and doesn't take too much effort. I recommend a single syllable word if you're just staring. Probably the most ubiquitous mantra used throughout the world is OM. It's pronounced just as it looks "Ohhhhemmm" and is simple yet effective word/sound that can help you focus and bring your mind to a single point. If you don't like this you can use one of these examples such as: Love, Peace, Mmmmmm, Ahhhhhh or any other word you can think of that you find suitable for this purpose.

Now that you've chosen your mantra and you're comfortable, close your eyes and begin repeating your mantra over and over again. I find that it is most effective for me to repeat my mantra, say OM, in a way that the sound is stretched out and the repetition begins right out of the ending of the last one making one continuous sound with no real beginning or ending kind of like this, "OmmmmmmmmmmmmmOmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmOmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...etc." or, if you were using say love it would be, "LahhhhhhhhhhhhhhvvvvvvLaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhvvvvvLaaaaaaahhhhhhhvvv...etc."

Method #3

Counting:

I have found this particularly useful when I have trouble with breathing or a mantra. Yes I do have trouble sometimes if my mind is really chatty and I sometimes switch it up just for variety. Variety is the spice of life right?

This is very simple where all you do is count in your mind from 1 - 10 over and over again slowly. If you find yourself going past 10 just start back at 1. This is a really nice meditation as it's like coming home every time you reach 10 and return to 1. When you count, don't just repeat quickly 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10; you'll want to count 1............2............3...........4 and so on. The space is the most important part of this meditation. What you will find is that, as you count, you kind of lose yourself in the space between the numbers, this is good. This is what some call slipping into "The Gap of No Mind."
As your mind slows down you'll find yourself still counting but in between each number fading in and out of this thoughtless gap of expanded awareness. Just go with it and see where it leads you.

The point of these techniques:

The purpose of all the these methods is to help you slow your mind down, hopefully to a stop, where you can enjoy the place of "thoughtlessness" or "no-mind" that is meditation. This is where you will experience maximum healing and rejuvenation. It's okay if you don't "achieve" absolute zero in terms of thoughts; as long as you're consistently practicing and creating stillness in your life you'll begin to see the benefits of this journey into your self unfold, before your eyes and in your body.

This is going to take some discipline and patience on your part, so don't expect dramatic results over night. This is a "Magic Pill" but it comes in a 'slow time release capsule'. The benefits are cumulative and will become more and more noticeable as time goes on. Not only will you begin to experience reduction in physical symptoms and increased joy and vitality, you will find that people around you are treating you better and you're living a more harmonious, conflict free existence. The thing is, we think our problems are coming at us from the outside as in, "he did this to me" or she screwed me over," but the truth is that we create the majority of our own misery, even if we may not realize this at the moment. As we release the tensions, attachments, labeling and blaming by slowing down our thoughts on a daily basis so we can see clearly through the fog of our misguided thoughts and create a sense of stillness and peace in our inner being, we begin to experience more and more peace and stillness also in our outer world.

One last note - I have found that it is important to not have any expectations with adding this practice to your lifestyle. If you feel like you're not getting any where in the beginning just be patient and it will come. When it comes is not important. If you just treat each time you sit down to meditate as a new experience and forget about what did or didn't happen yesterday or what happened last week in your meditation or at work or in your relationship, you'll find greater success in this and in your life in general.

One thing I have learned in my life and continue to learn is that most of our sorrows in our lives come from having false or unrealistic expectations. When we expect something to happen and it doesn't we are inevitably disappointed. However, conversely, if we don't have expectations of others or ourselves we are less likely to be disappointed. This is good to remember when meditating. It doesn't mean your don't plan for life and try to achieve things like reaching a state of meditation or getting a new job or winning a million dollars or your husband, wife, girlfriend or boyfriend acting a certain way. What this means is, plan your life and then allow it to unfold as it does in the present moment without destroying your happiness by filling each instant with worry and anxiety.

I know I made a big claim in this article of giving you a "Cure-All Magic Pill" and I stand firmly by this claim. I invite you to prove me wrong. I think if you'll incorporate at least 10 minutes of daily meditation into your life and then increase that time to 20 - 30 minutes daily, you'll experience liberation from many if not most of the so-called problems of your life. Please take me up on this gift I'm offering to you. Give yourself some time to just BE instead of racing from moment to moment without ever pausing to smell the roses. By taking this time for yourself every day you'll be adding an unfathomable resource that will guaranteed raise you up to another level of living, to another level of BEing.

Be well and enjoy life...LOVE!

"I've Got A Bad Taste In My Mouth About Haiti" ___ The Daily Tragedy We Overlook - 16,000 Children Deaths...Today & Tomorrow, etc!

2010-02-03T12:51:00.011-05:00

Recently, there has been a lot of hubbub about the tragedy in Haiti and the thousands of people that have perished underneath the rubble of this devastating act of nature. While I agree this is indeed tragic and something needs to be done about it, I have a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth once again as the media hypes up the public about another tragedy that is "close to home," while looking past the greater tragedy that occurs every single day in our world.

The statistics that I've found online about the death tolls in Haiti range anywhere from 50,000 - 200,000+ and while this number is certainly staggering there is another number I think we need to look at. In our world of abundance there are approximately 16,000 children that die every single day or if you want to break it down, 1 child dies every 5 seconds. What that means is, by the time you've breathed in and out 1 time a child, most likely under the age of 5, has died from a very preventable cause or if you look at it another way, in about the time that has passed since the earthquake just as many people have died from hunger as have in the quake and will again in as much time going forward, AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN!. THIS IS A TRAGEDY...and it happens every single day and every single month! There are many more people who die a day from hunger, this is only counting the children. It is approximated that 50,000 people die from hunger and poverty related, preventable disease...EVERY SINGLE DAY!

This is an excellent interview by Action Aid International Director John Samuels worth watching if you're uninformed about the vastness and depth of this issue:

What I'm trying to do in this letter to you is to see if I can shift your focus of reality onto a bigger picture than the one shown on your 32" plasma T.V. screen. I don't want to down play the disaster in Haiti, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we should turn our televisions off, well actually this wouldn't be a bad idea at all, okay I am saying to turn your T.V. off.

That aside, what I would like to achieve in this message is to hopefully, permanently, open your eyes to the world around you. The reality most people call life on a daily basis is such a small sliver of the greater truth that is actually reality. We need to widen our circle of conscience to include all of our human family and other living beings. Yes the tragedy in Haiti is bad and they do need our help so I commend you if you have donated to help in this worthy cause, however I wonder if you ever think about the tens of thousands of deaths that occur every day, because of hunger, that we don't hear about on CNN or ABC or CBC or whatever other 3 lettered brainwashing channel we get our news from.

The real tragedy here, in my opinion, is not even the fact that 16,000 children die every single day while we eat three squares and more without even considering how lucky we are. The real tragedy is that we do NOTHING about it and we think it's okay that our media doesn't showcase this on a nightly basis. The media and most citizens are only interested in flash and sensationalism. Let me tell you something. Anything that's sensationalized has been done so for a reason. There are profiteers in this Haiti disaster, don't kid yourself. We're creating jobs by helping the Haitians in their recovery efforts. I would bet there are high ups in the Red Cross and other notable organizations and so-called "non-profit" conglomerates that are getting a raise out of all of this. As cynical as this may sound, I wouldn't be surprise if it were the case. My intent is not to discourage you from giving. We need to give to help out even if 100% of our donation doesn't go to the cause. As long as some of it has gone to do good and help our fellow man, woman and child, it was absolutely worth it.

In closing, my plea to you is to make this issue rise to the forefront of human consciousness. Realize that without human outcry to our media, government and to each other we will not solve this problem. The all powerful and rich Governments of our world have the power and funding to squash poverty and hunger related deaths in short order. The US Government spends hundreds of millions of dollars a day on the war in Iraq supposedly to stop terrorism. There were less than 4000 people killed in the attack, by whomever committed it and the US Government have facilitated the death of over 1 million innocent civilians in retalliation. Somehow these numbers don't make sense to me. So say the US was attacked by "foreign terrorists" and didn't commit a False Flag Operation on their own country. So say this is the truth, if you can believe that after all of the evidence to the contrary, one just needs to take the time to look at the investigating done by many true patriots in the West and abroad.

Anyhow, that aside, the cost of the war for 1 year which is 720 million dollars/day x 365 equalling $262 Billion/year could solve the world hunger issue FOREVER if it was stopped now and that money reallocated accordingly to feeding the hungry and creating fair trade practices as well as educating the poor so that they can become self-sustainable.

This indeed is a corrupt world we live in and we can't just sit by the sidelines and say, "Well, there's nothing I can do anyhow so you just gotta go with the flow." No! You don't just have to go with the flow. YOU can demand that the world be a better place and the easiest way you can demonstrate that is to consciously decide where you spend your hard earned dollars. If you can donate a small amount to helping the poor, if everyone did this, say the cost of 1 coffee a week, I'm certain we could make the changes ourselves without the help of government. There are good people in this world with moral organizations who WILL give nearly 100% of your money, after operating costs, to go towards helping those who need it more than you do. I don't have a job at the moment and I recently decided to donate $11.00 per month to an organization set on helping feed, clothe and educate children in India. If I can afford to do this, than anyone can.

What I wish to do with this blog is to empower you to decide that enough is enough and commit to making a regular donation to help solve this very solvable problem. We cannot wait for the Governments of the world to step up, we must step up ourselves and make it known and felt that we are all ONE human race and no one should suffer. If there is suffering and inequality for some there is suffering for all. We are all connected at the most fundamental level of matter in a quantum field of energy. If we can begin to look at ourselves as more than this single body and see ourselves as connected, equal and worthy of life and it's basic necessities the same as everyone else, we will start to unravel these corrupt systems of the world and start to create a new world of freedom and justice in the pursuit of happiness for all.

In the words of Yoda, "There is no try, there is only do." I'm asking you to do something from where you are. If you can afford to donate $10.00 per month to help the starving and poor then do that. If you can afford $20 or more that's even better. If you can only afford $5.00/month then do that. Anything will count as long as we all do it. Don't wait to see if your friends will do it, that is trying and not doing. Do what you can from where you are and if you rise up to another level then do more.

I hope you'll take me up on this offer and give to those in need.

We truly are ALL ONE!

Love!

This is a great presentation by Bjorn Lomborg that gets us thinking about what priorities are most important. He bases this on whether we should act to prevent global warming. If you do some research you will discover that "Global Warming" or "Climate Change" are promoted by the governments of the world to create a control grid of governmental power and to make the public pay more taxes making people like the POLITICIAN Al Gore Billions of dollars when his numbers are all fudged and he is NOT a Scientist. The point here is that we can do better things with the money that Government has access to and he makes a great argument that we need to get our priorities in order as a human race.

Liberation...it's so amazing to be truly free!

2010-01-03T18:44:00.002-05:00

I just wanted to share the experience I had today with you. Today, for a little while, I was totally liberated. Today, my girlfriend and I did some yoga and a meditation at the end. After a while, she got up and started doing other things around the house but I continued my meditation because I had just entered the state where my body starts pulsing back and forth on it's own. I don't know if you've read my blog called "Your Spirit Wants You To Heal" http://craigelliottmusic.blogspot.com/2009/12/your-spirit-wants-you-to-heal.html
but I talk about how this happens to me in this article. So this pulsing started and then my spirit began guiding me through these motions to help me heal some of the ongoing issues I've been enduring, it was painful and difficult yet wonderfully healing for my back and neck. That's not all though. After I opened my eyes and came back to the 'real world' so to speak, something was different about me.

I got into the shower and felt a connection to my crown chakra and as I stepped under the water I suddenly became intimately aware of the feeling of the water coming down from the shower head in a way that I never have before. It was as though I had expanded senses and my touch was much more broad and sensitive. It felt so incredible to feel water on my hands! I embraced the experience and started rubbing my hands together, really enjoying the sensation of touch that I usually take for granted. I was in utter ecstacy, totally connecting with this sense.

As I got out of the shower I dried myself off with the towel and I really felt the towel on my skin and it felt wonderful. Then, as I put my clothes on, I really felt it. I put on each sock on with 100% attention and feeling and each other garment with the same pleasure and intense awareness, it was all so amazing. Then, my body did some more healing stretching and I started touching my self...not 'touching my self' just running my hands over my sweater and over my hands and arms, all over body because it just felt so amazing. It was like I had just entered this body and was experiencing touch for the first time.

After experiencing touch for a few minutes and saying aloud, "This is so magical," I went to the kitchen walking on clouds. It was kind of like gliding/bouncing to the kitchen as if I was floating or walking on a trampoline. I proceeded to get a glass and fill it with water and as I took a big sip I was surprised at how intense it was. Wow! It's so amaing to drink water! I deeply experienced drinking water fully. Every sip was exhilarating! I gasped with pleasure after swallowing every time. Normally, when I drink water it just goes down the hatch and it's gone. This time I swished it around in my mouth and it just felt so incredible as it flowed into every crevice of my mouth, bringing cool moist sensations of delight.

This all reminds of the scene in the movie Peaceful Warrior where they're in the park and the old man (Soc) tells the boy that there is always something happening and the boy sees everything in slow motion and hyper vision. It wasn't exactly like that but that's the only reference I have at this point and it will give you an idea of what my experience was like. If you could transpose the sense of sight and hearing the movie portrays onto the sense of touch, that would be equivalent to what it I was experiencing.

My mind state was different as well. I was switching between calling myself I or me and Craig or he/him as in 3rd person. It was like being high without the drugs. I guess this is truly what is called being high on life. I was wondering if the old "me" would come back or if I would forever be in the blissful state of heightened awareness. I think this is just the beginning, even though I have been on a spiritual path for a few years now. In some ways I feel like a new person as though I have just been born. The line in the song Amazing Grace describes this experience "I was blind but now I see." Today, I saw for the first time in my life, I have tasted the observer self that is beyond form and name. Today, I feel like I experienced my true nature. I feel like, for the first time, I experienced life through the 'I am' instead of the narrow perception that is who I usually call Craig Elliott. What I think happened is a near total loss of identification with my ego or false self (identification with thought senses or body).

The word that describes what I have experienced best is most definitely BLISS. All capital letters BLISS. I have been emancipated, if only temporarily, from mental bondage. Today, I believe I glimpsed true freedom, amazing delicious freedom, this is where I endeavor to dwell always.

Love!

A letter to Jack Layton About C-6, Health, Inner Peace and Equality

2009-12-22T13:19:00.001-05:00

(If you like this message, please change the names and forward it on to any political party or to your Senators or Congressmen or women to help open their eyes about some of these important issues.

Hello Mr. Layton,

I appreciate your response, even if it seems like an automated response that doesn't address my individual concerns. Please take a close look into this Bill C-6 and realize that it is taking away our rights to make informed and educated decisions about our health. The right to our personal health autonomy is the most basic human right that we should enjoy.
Millions of Canadians enjoy the benefits of using alternative health supplements and remedies and these should not be looked upon the same as prescription drugs. Prescription drugs are all bad for you, all they do is cover up the symptoms of the underlying cause and don't cure anything. What needs to happen in this country and in the world is more and better quality education. There is an abundance of evidence that a vegetarian lifestyle is better for longevity and quality of life as well as the proof that it prevents all of the major health "killer diseases." Heart disease, Stroke, Diabetes and Cancer are all lifestyle related conditions.

We must recognize this and educate the public about common sense practices and get away from this fast food culture. If it is fast food it should be truly healthy fast food. I went to a raw food bar yesterday called Live in Toronto. http://www.livefoodbar.com/ You should check it out sometime. The food is incredibly delicious, life giving and wholesome. Once you try it you will see that raw/vegetarian food doesn't have to be a solely salad based diet, it can be hearty, filling and tasty. The public needs to learn about this way of life and how it can benefit not only our physical bodies but the environment as a whole. While I don't agree that carbon is the cause of global warming or that there is such a thing as man made global warming period, a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle is much better for the environment as well as your health. The media and bad science has convinced us of a lie in order to enforce greater control and taxes on the public, it should be noted that 18% of all world carbon emissions comes from factory farming while only 13% comes from automobile and industrial emissions. If carbon was a bad thing, as is being touted by our government officials and the media, I would say that promoting a healthy vegetarian lifestyle proves it's merit on this front as well. Let us use our common sense and realize that plants breath in carbon and exhale oxygen which IS good for humans.

I'm hoping you use your intelligence to see through the brainwashing of mainstream media, government and science. It has been proven by real, unadulterated science that global warming is being caused by the sun's increased solar activity. Please read this article and do some more research in to this. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html

We must start looking at what is going on in our world through clear eyes. If you listen to the media or what mainstream science is telling you, you're not getting a unbiased view. Just because the public wants something to be done about climate change doesn't mean they are educated. The vast majority get their information, news and world view from the fear inducing mainstream media. You must know that the media is all owned by a small few companies who are interested in profit first and foremost. You must also know that information coming from these outlets serves primarily the parent companies and their agendas. We must seek out common sense, empirical evidence, not faith/dogma based beliefs and world views. We are not affecting climate change in any significant capacity. I do believe we should protect our environment from oil spills, deforestation, pollution, animal extinction and any of the other truly destructive man made problems. We should focus on promoting a healthy lifestyle for all humans in the world that doesn't cause suffering to other sentient beings (animals or human). We should focus on ending all hunger in our world because we do have the resources to do this NOW. We should focus on creating peace without creating more war, this can be done. Please learn about the many studies that are being done on consciousness and the effects of group meditation on reducing crime rates and war. Here is a good place to start your education. This is a video presentation by Dr. John Hagelin that you would greatly benefit from observing, he is a brilliant particle/quantum physicist. There is so much that we CAN do that isn't being done. The focus on government is control and profit when it should be on doing good for all and creating a peaceful, healthy world. We are not Canadians or Americans or Iraqis or British or Afganistanis or Chinese or Indians, we are human beings and all human beings are our brothers and sisters. We are ONE human family and by recognizing this we will stop all violence and war. By educating ourselves and others about the connected nature of reality we will grow in compassion toward our fellow humans and toward animals and nature as a whole.

This message encompasses a broad spectrum of issues. There are no singular problems in the world. Without clean water we cannot be healthy. Without clean air we cannot be healthy. Without real, organic, unprocessed, nutritious food we cannot be healthy and become afflicted by all of the "major killer diseases." Without internal peace we cannot have external peace. With inequality for some we create a dysfunction in our own lives by rationalizing that it's okay for some to suffer while others enjoy freedom. If we eat and live naturally which IS common sense we will find ourselves in harmony with the earth, our bodies and each other.

I'll leave you with one last comment. To create peace in the world, we must create peace within our daily individual lives and within our minds. Any war in the outside world is a reflection of the inner wars we struggle with in our egoic mind structures. By focusing on and educating others about the science of inner peace we will create a foundation of peace from which to build upon. The practice of meditation has been used for thousands of years to create inner peace. We must free ourselves from control of these egoic mind structures in order to free ourselves and others from torment and through inequality and war. I encourage you to do some inner work so that you can create this inner peace and radiate that outward into the world through your work on the political front. If you'll take the time to watch the presentation by Dr. John Hagelin, you'll learn about the science behind how meditation helps us create an inner environment of peace with which to operate from so that we don't create any external conflict as a result of our own inner conflict. Until we master our minds we will not master the problems of the world.

I voted for you Jack and I hope you'll take me seriously by reading and watching what I have sent you. This is worth your time.

Thank you and have a great day!

How to Reclaim Your Birthright - Part 2

2009-12-15T12:43:00.001-05:00

Please read "How to Reclaim Your Birthright - Part 1" first...

The other big reason you need to realize that the problem must be solved from the source is this. If you go for more tests all they will tell you is what the symptom is, whether it be Osteoperosis or Connective Tissue Disorder or Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia or Diabetes or some Auto-Immune Disorder or Cancer or Heart Disease or a Tumour or Alzheimers Disease or any other symptomatic aliment. After your diagnosis, when you have finally found "what is wrong with you," you will start on some drugs to deal with the symptom. There is no cure for any ailment from drugs, they only cover up the problem and post pone it for a future date with it or something far worse and harder to deal with...until you finally die and then others will look upon you as someone who fought a noble and brave fight against "so and so disease."

All drugs are toxic. It's written right in the beginning of the Physician's Desk Reference book that all Physicians get to look up drugs to "help" their patients. There is not one drug that is not toxic to your system. They are seen as a foreign substance to your body and your body will react and fight against it or adapt to it in some way that makes life possible albeit shortened. If you want to get healthy long-term, you MUST MUST MUST get off of the prescription drugs...they will kill you as surely as anything else and likely faster.

If you get more tests you will get more results and surely they will be varied because your symptoms are so varied. Believe it or not, I'm the only one who is willing to tell you the truth about your condition. I have done a lot of self-education about these matters. When (Name) phoned me, she said that she wishes she would have listened to me because she's done a lot of research after her mom died and she now knows that I was right about the fact that she shouldn't have been consuming sugar and coffee and non-foods and that she could have enjoyed a much longer and pleasant life if she had been given the opportunity to go the natural route.

I really don't care about being right, I care about helping you and others. It's bad enough now! You don't need to wait for it to get any worse before you hit your "rock bottom" to create a lasting change. I told you a few years ago that you have all of the answers inside of you and you don't need to look for external support from the medical system and so called experts in naturopaths and doctors. When something feels good, or makes you feel good, do it and when it makes you feel bad, don't do it.

A little note on this last comment. You need to avoid the things that make you feel good based on biological and mental addictions. Sugar, coffee, processed foods and animal products all have addictive capabilities. You need to be stronger than your body and exercise some real WILL. You have so much power within you to create a world for yourself and others filled with health, possibility and joy.

Try this...make your mantra..."Nothing tastes as good as fit and healthy feels, I am perfectly healthy and I love myself." This mantra is short enough but specific enough to help you change your beliefs so that you can make it automatic - it is a combination of an incantation from Anthony Robbins and a positive affirmation from Louise Hay. I do this sometimes, reciting a mantra all day long. Not only will this help you change your belief systems, but it will also help your mind remain single pointed and therefore raising your vibration and bringing higher wisdom into your being.

You only have one shot at this life. You may live on and be reincarnated into another life as well. If you learn about Karma as taught in Buddhism, you will find that your suffering is caused by the thoughts and actions you entertain and commit in this life and in past lives. I don't believe your ailments and suffering in this life are caused by any past life Karma however, I believe there are a lot of feelings of unworthiness in you because of our upbringing and there are a lot of issues that are undealt with concerning Mom and Dad, especially Dad. I realize that you accept him into your life, but do you accept the past as it happened and released it from your being? How have the events of the past made you feel about your self? Do you feel worthy of being loved? Do you feel worthy of living a prosperous, healthy and long life? I think sometimes that you feel that you should suffer so that others can be free of it. This is not true. You don't need to suffer to help others...you need to help yourself to help others. If you take on the suffering of others such as Dad and Aunt (Name) and now Aunt (Name) and also (Name) and maybe some from Mom and others, you'll become incredibly ill by holding this feeling that it should be you suffering instead of them. I used to feel this way myself. There was a guy in school that killed himself when I was younger at Scotlea and for years I thought I should have killed myself so that he didn't have to or that I wanted to take his pain away so that he didn't have to die. When Terry had his seizure I was so afraid he was going to die and I wished it was me instead of him. We don't need to be martyrs to help others, by injuring ourselves or taking on the suffering of others we create more of it in the world not less.

Also with Karma, what you do and think about now will affect your future life or lives. If you suffer now, you will suffer more in your next life. If you can become free of all suffering now, your future lives will be free of suffering as well and you will be better able to help others in that future-now. There are so many reasons why you need to become well and they are not only for yourself. Draw from the need of others. You can give so much more if you are well. If you're dead you can't give anything. If you're sick you can give only a little. If you're well you can give all of yourself and more by channeling the divine through your being.

If we want to truly help others, we must become realized, in this life, spiritually and physically. In order to truly help others, we must channel the Divine Spirit through us and into the world. In the book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle, the first line of the book is - "You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!"

I will leave you with that. Read it again....this may be the most important two sentences you ever read.

"You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!"

Love!

How to Reclaim Your Birthright - Part 1

2009-12-15T03:24:00.001-05:00

This is a letter I wrote to a loved one. I thought I would share this so that others may learn how to rebuild their health, even when it seems impossible and destitute. You can reclaim your health, no matter how "bad" it is or seems for you right now. Please read on and if you'll follow what I say, and act on it, you will surely be able to return to the house of health within no time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I'm going to write to you is the truth and I hope you'll see is a such and act on it. You will go and get a test for MS or Lupus or a brain tumour or something else and sooner or later they will find something. You don't have any of these diseases...even if they find it. What you have is auto-intoxification. Remember this was your diagnosis a long time ago? This happens when you consume non-foods that are devoid of nutritional and electric value. The purpose of food is to provide you first and foremost with electrical potential so that your cells can function. You are an electric being. Stick your finger the light socket and you will find that you are definitely a conductive, electric being. Your heart works on electricity, which is why your heart can be restarted with an electric shock (defibrillation).

When you consume foods that are acidic in nature and lacking in electrical potential your own ability to maintain homeostasis will begin to fail. This is what has happened to you. You need to be honest with yourself in how you ate poorly through most of your life and haven't exercised much. Your body needs exercise to move the lymph through your system to detoxify in any meaningful way. It doesn't have a pump like the lungs or heart, it must be pumped manually. The lymph/connective tissue is the largest organ of your body and is the point where toxins exit your cells to be moved into the excretory organs for elimination. If this organ isn't stimulated manually, it will become sluggish and clogged. Consider exercise like the act of flushing the toilet, if you didn't flush the toilet it would over flow and begin to ruin the structures of your house and make it inhabitable for you. It's the same with the lymph. If you don't pump it, it will begin to become over burdened with toxins and the new toxins that are created by your cells will not be able to escape and hence they break down themselves creating even more waste. It's a self perpetuating cycle once it begins. You must STOP it.

All of your health and physical problems are a symptomatic result of the underlying problem. The problem is improper eating habits and lack of exercise. I have heard you say before that, "it took a long time for your system to go out of wack so it will take a long time to get better." This is a rationalization to make yourself feel better and it is simply not true. Your body has the ability to cure itself from any ailment in an astonishingly short period of time. There are people who have cured themselves of advanced cancer in months. You are not that bad yet but you will be if you don't change. The body just needs to be supplied with ample amounts of electron rich foods in order to heal. Electron rich foods are also chlorophyll rich. Cucumbers are some of the highest alkaline foods. Another way of looking at whether or not a food is high in electrons is whether it scores high on an acid/alkaline chart.

Every time you eat something that is less than 7.365, or neutral for your blood, you are stealing electrons from your body and this creates a situation where your cells begin to break open and spill their contents because the outer wall of cells are of negative polarity. You need negative polarity or electron rich food and fluids to protect and rebuild cells.

Please watch this if you need some external proof or expertise to back up what I'm saying: Watch all 7 parts. This will teach you the truth about the purpose of our food and why we NEED electron rich food to survive and heal.

You will have a hard time getting in touch with your source as well if the types of foods you eat are of low vibration as a whole. The more live food you eat the more life force energy will enter your being. You can get life force energy directly from plants but you cannot get it from any processed foods because it's all been taken out in order to give it a shelf life. Live food wants to be eaten or die...if it isn't eaten it has the intelligence contained within to return itself back to where it came, which is the invisible source of all matter and creation.

So, in closing, what you MUST do is eat an abundance of high life force/electron rich foods. Just search online for an acid/alkaline food chart and you will see what is high alkaline and what is acidic, which you should avoid at all costs.

The thing is, when you are sick, you must take drastic measures to return your body to wholeness. You can't dilly dally and eat a little bit better and expect to become well. You need to dramatically tip the scales back in your favour, for a while, to return to good health because they have been tipped against you for so long.

You do not have MS or Lupus or Connective Tissue Disorder or Diabetes or Heart Disease or Cancer or whatever other condition you may manifest. What you have is a body that has consumed too many foods that are devoid of nutrition and electric potential. Until you make a permanent shift...no cheating you will not heal. Think that every time you cheat and eat iced cream or chips or candy or chocolate or sugar or pizza that you are shitting directly into your mouth. Now I know that is a disgusting metaphor but it is accurate. These types of foods have no use going into your body because they are pure garbage. You wouldn't eat a log of shit because it is 100% waste right? So don't eat food that is 100% garbage...don't eat food that is 50% garbage. You can't dress garbage up and make it anything other than it is...garbage. Eat food that is 100% life giving and health giving and you will have a great life and great health. Exercise because your spirit came here and chose this body to live. Dying is lying around...Living is moving around.

I think what you really need to do is decide what you want to do...die or live? I think you want to live and you deserve to live vibrantly so that you can offer more of the beautiful person that you are to the world. You can't give all of yourself to the world if you're suffering...if you're suffering, you're taking instead of giving. Think of it as a way of helping others. You have the choice to be well. Being fortunate enough to live in this wonderful society where we have houses to live in and cars to drive and bikes to ride and clean water to drink and nature to enjoy and food to eat is a wonderful blessing. To deny ourselves the right and choice to be well is blasphemous to the ones who are truly unfortunate and have been born in areas of the world where they aren't lucky enough to have clean drinking water and enough food to survive.

1 person dies of hunger every 3 seconds. They die simply because they don't have enough food to subsist. We have all the food we could ever hope for to live and thrive. Don't you think we should choose the food that will help us live better...every time...so that we can live up to the blessing we've been lucky enough to receive?

There are no doctors or naturopaths or reiki practitioners or herbalists or whatever that will be able to tell you what is wrong with you, they can only help you alleviate symptoms, you must treat the problem. The problem is your decisions of the past. There is nothing "wrong" with you...you have just made some poor decisions and all you have to do is start making really good ones all the time on a consistent basis and you'll be set to blast off to the stars. Your natural state is that of good health...give your body the food and water that it needs to heal and it will do so very rapidly. You can be free of this in a matter of months if you really want to. You just have to make the decision.

The root of the word decision means to cut off from. Therefore, a decision is something that you choose and never fall back from. Please DECIDE that you want good health more than anything and never fail from this. You must decide every moment what kind of life and experience you want to have. Every instant is a new day. The term "born again" is misused I feel. The Christians see it as being born again as being saved by Jesus. What I feel the term born again means is, forever being reborn into this moment. You choose, in every moment, what kind of life you want to experience and in every moment there is power to create a new and wonderful existence. I urge you to be born again into a new life. Leave the old behind. You don't necessarily need to abandon your life or your family, just abandon your old mindset and beliefs, this is truly being reborn. Christians are reborn once when the "accept Jesus into their hearts." What they have really done is opened up their hearts and surrendered to the present moment. Their heart chakra opens up and when they feel the energy sensations in the emotional/energetic heart, they take this as Jesus entering their heart. I bet most of them don't feel this opening more than this one time, when they are so called "born again." You can be reborn or "born again" and start over any time you want. You've just been stubbing your toe a lot...now is the time for you to take a real step...a step forward and into a new dream. The old dream is over, the old dream is dead. The new dream is fresh and wonderful and full of possibility and love.

I hope you'll see the truth in this, listen to this message and once and for all reclaim your birthright of good health. You don't deserve to be ill and whatever deep rooted belief you hold that is telling you that it's okay to be sick or it's okay to suffer or it will take a long time to heal....get rid of it and replace it with one that says, "I am a beautiful person who chooses food and and a lifestyle that supports my body to allow it to function to it's maximum potential so that I can thrive and create and give, in this wonderful world, all the love that is bursting out of me at the seams." The more you give the more you will receive....I know you have lots to give and it will all come back to you in the end and your life will be one that is worthy of legend!

I hope you'll trust and listen to me...I am here on Earth to help you. Please join me in this wonderful, joyful life of opportunity and bliss.

Love!

Your Spirit Wants You To Heal

2009-12-12T16:22:00.001-05:00

What I'd like to discuss today is how your Spirit wants you to heal yourself, in whatever way you need healing. Whether it be emotional healing, physical healing financial healing or any other type of healing that you need to occur in your life, your Spirit wants to help you with it.

About 9 months ago I broke two bones in my back and fractured my collar bone. This injury was incredibly painful, I could hardly put on or take off my pajama pants and had to roll myself out of bed while holding my left shoulder in place and I had to hold my shoulder in place to get in and out of cars. The pain was excruciating to say the least. The healing began slowly and gradually I became functional again. Although my body healed most of the injury, there is still remnants of pain that I deal with on a day to day basis.

What I want to talk to you about is how I am healing myself, or should I say, how I'm BEING healed. I discovered a while ago that during my meditations my head would start to float upon my neck where there was really no holding it up, it kind of just started floating and then it would sort of move back and forward to some invisible pulse. After a while of this happening something else began to occur. After I would "connect" to my higher Self (I feel a vibrational shift in my 3rd eye center and crown chakras) my body would suddenly begin moving itself but I wouldn't be making the initiative. I sort of surrender to whatever might happen and it's like my Spirit takes over and moves my body for me going through many strange poses and stretches that bring my body into better alignment.

The first thing it usually does is address the on going neck issues I have been experiencing. I should go to the Chiropractor but financially it doesn't make sense for me because these issues can't be mended in one single session. I like Chiropractic but I know the limitations involved and the monetary commitment needed to see the full benefits of this modality.

When I try to stretch my neck to make it feel better myself I usually end up hurting myself quite badly and I am in a lot of pain for a few days following, but if I allow my higher nature to do the work for me, by surrendering in my meditations, it moves my head and stretches my neck in a way that might be painful while I'm going through it but doesn't hurt me in the end and my neck feels incredible relief from the pressure and tension from being out of alignment afterward. If I remain in meditation longer my Spirit will begin working on the rest of my body, addressing the issue with my shoulders and lower back and hips that I have had due to a car accident I was involved in 5 years ago and poor posture and sitting habits from the past.

The first thing that happens is I feel energy flowing down from the top of my head and when it reaches my neck I feel pain. When the energy is blocked it begins to try to fix the problem by moving my head neck and body in a way that will bring more proper state to my body of physical homeostasis. There is an energy that permeates all of nature and you, since you are a natural being. Everything is energy. I'm sure you've heard this ubiquitous phrase before, but do you really "get it" on a visceral and tangible level? I can really feel this intelligent energy in my body. I have become sensitive to this benevolent "Field" through years of meditation practice and some Qi Gong practice. You can become sensitized to feeling energy in your body also if you'll spend some time meditating by trying to stop the incessant thoughts that flood your mind on a day to day, minute to minute and instant to instant basis.

I can tell you, for sure, that your Spirit wants you to heal and it wants to help you with that healing. It wants you to be free of pain and suffering so that you can fully enjoy this experience that you have chosen to participate in. Life is so much more than we realize based on our limited conditioning from our parents and grand parents, television, the government, dogmatic religions, our "friends" and anyone else who has had the effect of implanting seeds of belief in our minds. What you believe to be true is not necessarily the truth at all, it is most likely an illusion if you follow anything mainstream. We are taught to be fearful; to be afraid of getting sick, to be afraid of getting cancer, to be afraid of terrorists, to be afraid of getting swine flu, to be afraid conspiracy "theories", to be afraid of death, to be afraid of life itself, basically to be afraid of everything. So much fear is instilled in us coming from every angle, which is why we must intentionally make an effort to stop it from entering our field of reality. Our reality and life is created by the perceptions we hold and if those perceptions are that of fear then we are being cut off from the intelligence that wants us to heal.

Our Spirit cannot reach us to help us in healing if we are blocked by fear. Fear is like a brick wall to your Spirit. You need to tear down the walls of fear that are holding you back from experiencing the beautiful healing energy that is your birthright and who you truly are. You are healing and if you'll do what it takes to come into alignment with it you will be healed.

The answer lies in silence. We must silent the inner and outer aspects of our life. We must take time to be in silence physically and mentally. When we enter silence, we enter the eternal life that creates and maintains the physical integrity of your body, of nature, of space and time itself. The intelligence that creates and sustains all can be found in you through silence. Meditation is the practice of attaining the state of inner silence and by doing this you access the innate healing power that magically tells your body to heal itself when you cut your finger or break a bone, it is the force that tells your body it is time for a healing crisis or "cold" to expel all of the mucous and toxins from your body so that you can become purified. Your Spirit wants you to be pure which is it's essence.

On that note, it is important also to refrain from putting things in your body that will force your Spirit to be in a constant healing crisis one after another so that it can focus on the bigger issues in your life, the deeper problems that need healing such as emotional healing, deeper physical cleansing and healing and energetic imbalances. We don't want to make our bodies work any harder than they have to to heal because the job will be incomplete if it is jumping from task to task putting out fires so to speak trying to eliminate the garbage that is passed off as food. If you'll eat a diet that is more harmonious with your essence, not only will you stop over burdening your system with toxins and mucous, but you will bring more of the healing essence directly to your cells so that they can be super charged to do the healing you need. The most life giving foods are those that are found and grown naturally in the world. Plant food contains, in it's fluids, that intelligent life force energy that can rebuild your tissues and cells bringing them to optimum functionality. By consuming this intelligence you get a direct injection of super charged light energy right into the cells that desperately need it in order to do the best job they can of keeping your body healthy.

Your body is the home of your Spirit, doesn't it make sense to do the best you can to provide a safe and healthy home for the essence of your being? Shouldn't we think twice about the food that we put into our bodies which become the building blocks for that home? If you were going to build a house for you to live in and you had the choice of using bricks and wood or mud and sticks what would you choose. Of course you would choose the bricks and wood because they are of higher quality and will provide you will a more suitable and safe and long lasting environment in which you could live. It's the same thing for your body, just think of the choice of food that you have to put in your body as either the bricks and wood or the mud and sticks. Which raw materials do you think are going to build the best possible your for your Spirit to live in. I would suggest to you that a plant based diet as we consumed for millions of years is a better fuel to run the machine that the "ghost" drives.

Another thing that you should consider is the types of thoughts that you entertain. Is your mind filled with negative or positive thoughts on a general basis. Do you see the glass as half empty or half full. All of these contributes to the amount of Spirit that can flow into your life. Negativity is another form of Essence blocking fear. The best way to eliminate all negativity from your life is through the practice of regular meditation. By seeing your thoughts on an observer basis you will be able to distance yourself from the automatic, repetitive, negative, self-deprecating thoughts that pass themselves off as who you are. Contrary to what you may have believed in the past, you are not your thoughts, however you become what you think about. By consciously choosing positive, life affirming thoughts, you'll be strengthening your connection to Spirit instead of blocking it with negative ones. The real key is seeing things how they really are which is usually not as bad as your egoic thoughts make it out to be. When you can see things clearly and then add in positive, hopeful thoughts to the mix you're ready to blast off to the stars.

I'm sending this out to you with Love and with the hope that something in you will resonate with the truth contained within these words. I hope that your Higher Self will recognize this truth and a spark of awareness will be created lighting a flame of desire for you to be come a seeker of truth and beauty in life.

Make the commitment today to spend some regular time in silence and to feed your body higher quality food so that your Spirit can step into your life and begin to heal you like it wants to. If you'll do this your life will transform to higher levels than you've ever imagined. Trust me when I say that life is so much more than you currently realize, it's more than I currently realize and if we'll align ourself with our Spirit we'll begin to realize the higher and higher levels of Love,Light and Being that our Soul wants us to experience here on Earth.

Please share this note with your friends, loved ones, anyone who you know needs healing in their life or even a complete stranger. By doing so you will be giving them the priceless gift of a pointer towards a timeless truth and knowledge of their Higher Essence so that they might learn the ability to connect with that which heals.

Love!

The experience of "God"

2009-12-06T21:18:00.002-05:00

I've heard it said that religious or "faithful' people are obsessed with the knowledge of God and mystical/spiritual people are obsessed with the experience of God.

I am not obsessed, but I do primarily subscribe to the later. I am interested in what can be experienced. I can experience something greater than myself that I do not call God. I experience energy in my body and through, what is called, Chakras. I can heal people by sending energy from my palms as in QiGong. I have left my body while still conscious which many would call Astral Projection. I have known events and thoughts of other people when there is no way I could have known. These are all experiences of "God."

My mother is a hard-core fundamentalist Christian and I asked her what her experience of God is like. She said it's like a presence at the top of her head. I have the same experience of my Crown Chakra. I also feel other Chakras throughout my body. I feel the presence when I am grateful or when I am in a meditative state or are simply observing without judging - primarly I would say this is the state of "being" that Eckhart Tolle talks about. To love without judgement is the experience of "God."

Beliefs are for fools...we must go by our experience here on Earth, otherwise what are we here for...to be programmed robots? Why do we have an experience if we are not meant to draw meaning from that? We might as well be computers downloading programs if we are to simply believe what others have told us is "The Absolute Truth" as is touted by Pastors and Ministers everywhere. The only Absolute Truth, as I know it, is unconditional love and that I can proclaim because I have experienced it and do not need an outside informer to tell me what I believe.

On the Hypnotic Effects of Television

When I was a kid, we only received 3 television channels on a small, black and white television.
Those channels were; WAGM, MPBN and CBC. There really wasn’t much on television, but I didn’t care because I was usually outside doing something else, anyway.

I can remember when our family got cable for the first time and while it was an interesting change, I didn’t see much more on that was really worth watching. Later on, we got a color TV—now that was progress.

Today, you can notice in just about every house in your neighborhood, after dark, the dim blue flicker of a television through their windows. That flicker has intensified over the years and exhibits some pretty interesting psychological effects.

It is no secret that rapidly changing contrasting images on a television screen will affect those suffering from epilepsy, sometimes to the point of inducing a seizure. The way a television works is similar to the old 24 frame-per-second movie cameras. What appears to be full motion video is really a series of still pictures run rapidly together over time in order to create the appearance of motion. As for the old movie cameras, there were 24 pictures taken every second, with a shutter opening and closing to advance to the next picture in the sequence. Televisions and computer monitors use the same principle, only they call it a “refresh rate.” Dr. G.A. Harding conducted a study for the International League against Epilepsy in the mid-1990’s. He concluded that using a television or monitor with a higher refresh rate of around 100 Hz (100 frame changes per second) over the older 50 Hz models significantly reduced the occurrences of epileptic seizures by those viewing. This was likely because the moving picture was more defined and seamless.

Other uses of flickering images are being pioneered by Intelligent Optical Systems (IOS) from Torrence, California. IOS has received a contract from the American State Police (AMSTAPO), to develop a multi-colored LED flashlight that when flashed with a certain sequence of colors will make its victim nauseous, disoriented, or vomit.

Needless to say, humans are very visually-oriented creatures and flickering images have a pretty enormous impact on us,

Advertisers and marketing engineers also understand the importance of flicker rate imagery when it comes to selling their products on television. If one were to sit in a darkened room, facing away from a television and watch the light pattern on the opposite wall, a distinct series of flickering light patterns can be discerned as the television rapidly transitions from one edited scene to another. By varying the intensity of the contrast between lights and darks and the rate of switching (flickering) from one scene to another, an advertiser can lull the TV viewer into a mildly hypnotic state. Once hypnotized by the screen flicker, various forms of Neuro Linguistic Programming cues are introduced in order to steer the viewer’s thoughts, making them either calm and accepting of the product being sold, or openly hostile and uncomfortable with the competitor’s product.

Compare some of the older television commercials from 50 years ago, which were pasty whitish-gray and had very little or no flicker at all to today’s, which sometimes alternate from light to dark multiple times per second.

In addition to flicker rates, television producers use music and subliminal visual cues to invoke a response or implant a perception into their viewers’ minds. Years ago, a television newscast was essentially “radio with pictures.” That is, a newscaster would be sitting in front of a blank, white wall looking at the camera reading the news. Other than the audio, there was no real reason for the newscaster’s picture to even be there. Today, a newscaster is surrounded by multiple, random moving imagery. Turn the sound off and just watch the background of many television newscasts, or news shows. The wavy, wispy images moving back and forth in the background are designed to hypnotize you and keep you transfixed, “glued” to the TV. Other gimmicks are the scrolling “ticker tape” on the bottom of the screen and lots of snapping and flashing lights. The more there is going on in the picture, the more likely you will be hypnotized by the images.

Hypnosis is characterized by highly focused attention, increased responsiveness to suggestions, vivid images and fantasies, and a willingness to accept distortions of logic or reality—which is the exact template being followed by today’s television programmers.

While only 15 percent of people are highly susceptible to hypnosis and 10 percent are difficult or impossible to hypnotize, the vast majority of the population lies in the gray area in between. Children tend to be more susceptible to hypnosis than adults. Deeply hypnotized subjects sometimes experience profound changes in their subjective experience of consciousness (see Psychology, 2nd ed., Hockenbury & Hockenbury, ©2000 Worth Publishers, p. 158-159).

Watching television, like playing video games, causes the viewer’s brain waves to slip into a hypnotic, post-REM type - or “delta” - sleep. Brainwaves of television viewers are similar to those in deep sleep, though their eyes are still open. While in this state, any number of post-hypnotic suggestions can be implanted in the mind of the viewer, from buying that fancy new car, to going deeper into debt by refinancing their home in order to take a vacation.

Under hypnosis, pseudomemories, or false memories, can be implanted into the subject to make them believe they actually experienced an event or know the facts of an event, even if it never actually happened as purported. The mainstream television “news” networks were amazingly successful at convincing a large segment of the population that a 757 hit the Pentagon on 9/11, even though there was no evidence ever produced to support that theory.

Since television is such a powerful tool, and its existence is licensed and regulated by government, there will never be any objective, rational discussion of civil rights, or government scams and cons such as income tax or the Federal Reserve system explained in that broadcast medium.

I stopped watching mainstream network television around 8 years ago. I spend very little time in front of the television. Instead, I spend my time asking questions about the world around me and seeking answers to them. Since most people are walking around with their heads full of television network “programmers’” post-hypnotic cues, they perceive me as some kind of “extremist” or as “radical” because I’m not programmed as they are.

The television is government’s and corporations’ dream tool. A hypnotic device in every home that people willingly submit to on a daily basis to get their dose of prescribed propaganda and “information.” For now, you all still have the choice to cut your brainwashing simply by reaching out and shutting the television off.

Food Matters...Enjoy "The Juice of Life!"

2009-12-06T21:16:00.005-05:00

I thought I would write you a quick note to show you how you can truly and finally enjoy "The Juice of Life"...Literally! You deserve this and I hope, through this note, that you will see a way of living that can transform you into a super healthy being of Joy and Bliss!

Here is a website with an educational film on Food and why it really matters if you want to be healthy what types of food you choose to put in your mouth.

http://www.foodmatters.tv

This is worth your time because if you don't have good health you can't have a good life. Most people take their health for granted these days only making any positive changes when disease strikes. Often times, by then it's already too late. It takes will power to make these types of changes in your life, the types of changes that you know you should make. We all know that eating meat is bad for us and seriously increases your risks of colon cancer and all other types of cancer and gout because of the uric acid as well as diabetes and heart disease. You can eat organic meat all you want, which is better because there are no drugs in the animal, but you're still just kidding yourself because you're eating the dead flesh of another living being, which has almost zero life force energy, along with it's bacteria, acid, cholesterol, saturated fatty tissues and any viruses or pathogens that are in the animal at the time of slaughter or that grow within after it's death.

I am advocating that you eat a vegetarian diet, not because of some belief system, because it is the best chance for you to live a healthy lifestyle. On top of that, I don't advocate the average vegetarian lifestyle. Most vegetarians are actually very unhealthy although much healthier than meat eaters. You should eat plenty of, and I mean 51% or more of your meals should consist of, raw vegetables and some fruits but the focus should be on alkalizing vegetables such as greens (kale is one of the best), cucumbers, avocados, celery, lemons and limes, broccoli, and any other vegetables you like, however it is best to avoid too many root vegetables such as potatoes and beets because they are high in sugar. I must say that I love boiled beets now but I don't have them every day.

It is the ritualistic time of cold season. I say it's ritualistic because it happens every year and we do plan for it. Plan for it? You might think I'm being sarcastic but I'm not. We do plan for all of our illnesses throughout the year and our lives by choosing the types of food and drink as well as the types of physical and emotional lives we live. If we eat great but sit around all the time we can still be sick. If we eat great and exercise but have major emotional blockages and graspings or things we're holding onto, we can again still get sick. All three components are necessary for good health. Good food, adequate regular exercise and emotional cleansing - emotional cleansing can be done by any cathartic method that works for you such as: Meditation, therapy, song writing, painting, talking it out in search of resolution or anything else that works for you to clear away pent up negative energy in your body. Meditation is my favourite method because it's like when you reach the state of meditation your whole physical and energy body gets a car wash and you feel so refreshed mentally and physically and the things that may have been bothering you before just don't seem to matter anymore.

Why do we do things that we KNOW we shouldn't which harm our bodies and minds. Well food is one of the hardest things for people to have discipline about, even for me. Although I am incredibly disciplined in my food choices, I could be better. Do I eat a totally raw diet like I want to because I know this is the optimal food for human consumption? - No I don't. I am working towards this but it's just so easy to open a package and throw it in the oven - never the microwave, they are bad bad bad for you...throw yours out! So ,even I struggle with my food choices, although I make much better ones than most. It is not only our bodies that we must exercise but we must make a conscious effort to exercise our will. It is our will to stick to our objectives that will keep us on track. Our will is just like a muscle, the more you use it the stronger it gets. We have to learn to say no! Say no to cravings, say no to sweets, say no to eating toxic and health destroying meat, say no to smoking cigarettes, say no to alcohol consumption, say no to watching t.v. when you know you should be studying to exercising or reading, ANYTHING but watching t.v.

Television has got to be the biggest waste of time and energy. There are so many other constructive things we could do with our lives than to sit around and watch television which is full of brainwashing ads and agendas that pollute our minds decreasing that very will that we need in order to have the most fulfilling life possible. Throw your television out or at least cancel your cable subscription. If you do this you'll be forced to make conscious decisions about what media you consume. A couple of years ago I stopped watching t.v. and I have to say it has made a huge positive impact on my life. Now, if I watch something, I watch documentaries so that I can learn something of value instead of mindless comedy/sex/crime shows or news casts that don't really tell anything other than FEAR...BRAINWASHING...and MORE FEAR! The news is the worst thing to watch. Not only is it inaccurate and misleading, it's all negative.

When you experience fear, which is what the news specializes in, your body goes into protection mode, also know as fight or flight mode. Your circulation goes to the outer extremities, away from your organs, making it more difficult for your body to digest food and produce any sort of normal functioning or homeostasis. Fear is the worst thing for your body and mind and that's what the mainstream media is designed to deliver into your mind. When you're watching television you go into a hypnotic state where you are highly suggestible and susceptible to being brainwashed with whatever agenda they're currently trying to throw over the mass population. Television is designed to keep you in fear so that you will forget about your natural spirituality, forget about exercising and forget about eating properly and try to buy your happiness through acquiring material things. If you watch t.v. you will become sick, tired and spiritually cut off from your source which is silence. Silence is your natural state of being. When you were in the womb you were fully connected to your real nature, you were silent except for what you heard coming from outside your mother. When you go back to silence, I mean mental silence, you get in touch with what made you. There is a creative force in our universe that keeps the planets aligned, it keeps your heart beating, it keeps your arms from falling off and your eyes in their sockets, and trillions of other seemingly miraculous features of life. This force is what science is discovering as the zero point field or the quantum field. It is absolute zero. When you get to absolute zero, when there is no internal or external chatter going on, you get in touch with the infinite intelligence that creates and sustains all of life.

There is something called the Fibonacci sequence that should be investigated, this sequence is also called the Golden Ratio.

Here is a short video for a brief intro into the subject:

There is a pattern to the universe (string theorists believe it's more like a multiverse with side by side parallel universes). The Fibbonacci sequence is pervasive in nature and in you. The distance from the tip of your finger to the first knuckle to that knuckle to the next and so forth follows this sacred sequence and in many other demonstrable areas in your body. The spiral nature of galaxies and the distance between ring counts in snail shells and other shells follows the sequence. The placement of branches on trees relative to the height of the previous branch follows this sequence. There are countless other examples. Human behavior follows this sequence. I am interested in stock trading and charting. When you look at a stock chart the price goes up and down in waves. When the price is in a trend it will pull back after a big run and more often than not it pulls back right to the 38.2 or 50% Fibbonnaci level and then continues onward and you can actually make successful trades off of this sequence. This ubiquitous sequential order comes from somewhere. Some would have you believe it comes from some God sitting up in the sky somewhere creating galaxies but I would submit to you that it is in sound. You can do experiments with sound and small particles that show remarkable order and patterns. These experiments show the same patterns that are in the universe (or possibly multiverse).

Here is a short video that will blow your mind on these experiments:

If this doesn't blow your mind please think about what this means in depth and it will, it should blow your mind. This is proof that all matter is created and sustained through vibration. All matter is created and held in creation through sound vibrations. There are many frequencies that we cannot hear, but for example dogs and other animals can hear them so we can't say they are not all around us and within us. We don't say that radio waves don't exist because we can't see them. You don't have to believe in something for it to exist or to be the basis of all existence. The fact is, there is something holding our universe together that we cannot see, but it is there whether we believe it or not.

I submit to you that you can get in touch with this higher vibration through meditation. I have a singing bowl that I use sometimes at the beginning and end of my meditation and I'm telling you, you can feel the vibration. There is something known called the chakras that the East has known about for thousands of years and it's knowledge is now catching on in the West. Basically, there are seven chakras that govern the flow of life force energy into and out of our bodies. These chakras are: Crown, Third Eye, Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root chakras. Not only do these chakras govern energy flow, but they also control all of the major organ and gland systems throughout our body. Anyhow, the point is, when I use my singing bowl I can feel my third eye chakra activate just by making it sound. The sound enlivens one of my energy centers. I am particularly sensitive to energy and therefore I can feel it. If you practice meditation you will become sensitive to energy if you are not already. When it comes to stress, meditation is the ultimate stressbuster 2000. If you're stressed meditation will melt it out of your body and you'll forget why you even cared so much about something that really doesn't matter. The truth is that there really isn't much that really matters and yet we get ourselves all in a bunch about theses issues. Meditation will get you in touch with what really matters, your connection with your source. I hope you'll try this and if you decide to here is a video that I used to learn about meditation when I started. The practice of daily meditation will transform your life into something you could never have imagined in your past. Your life will start to become magical and filled with joy. I want you to have this and I hope you'll take me up on the suggestion.

There are ways in which you can get in touch with the zero point field on the physical level as well as meditation. I would suggest meditating to connect spiritually and eating more raw foods to connect physically. By eating more raw food you are consuming the life force energy that is contained within the plants. The substance or force that is holding the plant in it's form can be transferred to you by eating it. When you eat meat or processed foods you are not getting any of the vital life force energy that sustains you. There are societies in our world that are living an average of 120 years of age. The thing that these several cultures have in common is a raw vegetarian diet and a connection with their spiritual nature as well as a connection to actual nature.

I want you to have the best life possible which is why I'm sending this out. By choosing to use our will and eating a truly healthy diet we are supporting ourselves not only nutritionally but vibrationally as well. By eating properly we are getting more of what you could call "The Juice of Life" into our bodies. We will not become ill, if we get this life force energy into our bodies in sufficient quantities. The magic number seems to be 51% for decent health. If you watch the Food Matters film I have included in this message, you will learn that if you eat 51% or more of raw foods at all of your meals you will not create leukocytosis in your body which is when you immune system responds to your food as though it is a foreign invader. If your immune system is activated all the time it will easily become overburdened and when you have an actual threat it won't be able to adequately deal with it and you will be more prone to illness and disease.

You want to support your body and mind on all levels if you want a fulfilling life. I want you to live a happy and healthy, long life full of excitement and exuberance free of stress and disease. The suggestions I have included in this message will help you attain all of that, guaranteed! You WILL feel better, you WILL experience more of your natural spirituality, you WILL have more energy and you WILL be happier. You can and WILL have all of these things if you use your personal WILL and follow through and do what you know you should. Knowledge is not power, it is useless unless we actually use it. Anthony Robbins calls putting knowledge to use Personal Power, some call it wisdom. I like both and you can have Personal Power and wisdom if you'll do what you know you should do and don't know what you know you shouldn't do. It's really a matter of keeping tabs on why you're making decisions. Make it a must to be in total congruence with your beliefs and decisions. If you're current beliefs are that it doesn't matter what you eat to be healthy or have a fulfilling life you can change that. You can change belief systems. What you believe about yourself, about life and about others shapes the direction and quality of your experience. I assume you want to have a good experience in life don't you? If you do then you must make an assessment of your current beliefs and belief system. My friend Leija Turunen calls belief systems B.S. You know what B.S. is short for. I think you would do well to consider what it is you believe about life and whether or not it is supporting your or holding you back. If you want change you can have it, you just have to exercise that WILL of yours and it WILL get stronger, trust me.

You cannot simply believe what I'm saying, you must try it out. Life is not meant to be an experience where you're always stressed out and rushing. Life is not meant to be an experience where you are depressed and unhealthy. Life is meant to be joyful. My friend Caroline Meyer once told me that the purpose of life is to be joyful. At the time she told me this I simply didn't get it. I now know the truth of this profound statement and I thank her for delivering to me this fundamental truth. If you are not ecstatic with joy all the time, there is something wrong. The reason is because you are A) not eating properly, B) not exercising, C) watching too much fear inducing television or movies, D) holding onto emotions in your body, E) not taking the time to experience your true spiritual nature or F) all of the above.

I want you to be happy and if you'll trust me just this once, I promise you your life will soar and you'll literally want to jump for JOY!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you find your JOY in life.

Please share this message!

Social Proof...Are You Being Led By The Herd?

2009-12-06T21:16:00.004-05:00

Here is an excellent video worth watching to learn how easily we are swayed to believe what the group believes. We have such strong convictions in life but are they really ours or are we merely being mentally herded to go along with what the greater social group believes?
It takes great strength and courage to see things clearly free from media distortions egoic "certainty" and grasping and to not be blinded by social proof. Universal Truth is the only thing that will stand the test of time...beliefs will always be over shadowed by it's altruistic counterpart...objective truth.

I challenge each of you to watch your beliefs to see if you're following the convictions of a group or if you have genuinely formed your own opinions of how the world really is. Have you given your self a wide enough viewpoint from which to draw from or is it narrow being formed by certain organisations, governments, and media? If you're doing what everyone else is doing, there is a good chance you have been led by the herd. Please take this opportunity to discover within yourself the truth and make it your mission to always step outside of mental convictions to try to see what the truth is in any situations.

Love!

Get Some Real News - Alternative Media and News

2009-12-06T21:15:00.002-05:00

http://www.sprword.com/mustread.html

This website has a bunch of great alternative news websites. "If you want the truth you have to look outside of the mainstream media." - Rosie O'Donnell.
This quote was taken from one of her last appearances on The View. When people speak out they are ostracized from society and even their own "tribes." Rosie had to be ousted from her show when she started talking about 9/11 being an inside job. The mainstream media is controlled by only 4 corporations and with that kind of control they can tell us whatever they want to get government and corporate objectives through.

I hope you'll spend some time looking at some of these alternative news websites to balance out the garbage we receive from the that box in the corner of our living rooms. Some calling, fittingly, the box of lies. The television is the single greatest influencer over the general population. Now, with the internet, at least we can read and watch alternative view points to try to find some semblance of the truth.

This website also has a section under 'Must Watch' full of excellent documentaries to help you educate yourself on what is really going on in the world and the nature of reality. I recommend watching: Food Matters, American Blackout, Zeitgeist I, Zeitgeist II - Adendum, Kymatica, Global Warming or Global Governance and The Story of Stuff. I've seen all of these and they will open your eyes to the lies about what we're told through the "box of lies" and also inform us of some fundamental greater truths about the nature of our reality to enhance and improve all of our lives.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and investigate further. You're worth it!

What Would A Wise Man Do?

2009-12-06T21:14:00.005-05:00

I just had a short meditation and felt inspired to write a quick note about a lesson I was privileged to participate in when I attended The School of Philosophy in St. Catharines a few years ago. The lesson was to ask yourself the question, what would a wise man (or woman) would do in any given situation. I have a small example of how I asked this question today that has benefited me.
I have some smoked herring in the fridge and I had a piece of it earlier. The time was about 11:00pm. Knowing that fish digests slowly, since it is very high in protein, I realized that I shouldn't have eaten it so late because I will now have to stay up later so that it doesn't sit in my stomach all night failing to digest properly. So I was tinkering around on the computer a bit and I had a bit of a craving, which is unusual for me, to have another piece of smoked herring. I actually walked toward the fridge and then stopped in my tracks and asked myself the question, "What would a wise man do?" The answer was simple, that I shouldn't eat anything else, especially fish, because I'll have indigestion and a hard time sleeping if I do.

Although this might seem like a trivial situation, I wanted to share this with you because this question can be applied to all areas of our life. Have you ever done something where you were left kicking yourself afterwards because it wasn't exactly the brightest thing to do or maybe it was outright wrong? Of course you have, everyone makes mistakes and that's fine, but what if you had a little friend who could remind you to do that right thing or the wise thing. That's exactly what this question be for you if you'll ask it of yourself every time you are about to make any type of decision in your life. In our class, the tutor suggested we tie a string around our finger or put an elastic around our wrist for a week to remind us to constantly ask ourselves that priceless question - what would a wise man (or woman) do?

No matter what area of your life that you need to make a decision, whether it be a food/health choice, a business decision, a relationship matter, a school decision or even whether or not you should even open your mouth and say what is floating around in that head of yours, you can benefit from asking yourself this question. So many people have a tough time staying in shape or controlling their anger, maintaining proper spending habits, staying diligent with their studies, spending adequate time with their children or even taking the time for yourself to exercise and/or meditate or cultivate some other type of stress release activity or one of the many other areas of our life. Couldn't we all use a little reminder to do the right thing or the wise thing?

The next time you have a decision to make, no matter what it is, try asking yourself this invaluable question,"What would a wise man (woman) do?" It only takes a second but it could be the difference between a beneficial decision and a poor one.

A lesson in propaganada

2009-12-06T21:14:00.004-05:00

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/11/04/world/AP-ML-Israel-Arms-Boat.html?_r=1

I took the liberty of highlighting the interesting points and propaganda in this article.

The facts are that Iran, like Iraq, is one of the worlds largest oil producing nations and it in US/Israel's empirical interests to control this land and capture their oil fields just as they did in Iraq. Afganistan was also captured because the Talban had gotten rid of nearly all of the poppy production (poppies are used to produce opium) and this is the worlds largest supply of heroin supplies. After the invasion, the production of poppies in Afganistan went through the roof with record production every year. Also of interest is the fact that the US wanted to put a pipeline under the Caspian Sea and with this occupation they were able to do so.

If you think wars are fought for freedom and liberty you are not seeing things clearly. Wars are fought for profit and political gain.

Israel Navy Captures Arms Ship

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli commandos seized a ship Wednesday that defense officials said was carrying hundreds of tons of weapons from Iran bound for Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas -- the largest arms shipment Israel has ever commandeered.

The Israeli military said an Iranian document was found on board, showing that the arms shipment originated from Iran, . Rear Admiral Roni Ben-Yehuda, the deputy Israeli navy commander, said that despite its size, the shipment of weapons was ''a drop in the ocean'' of arms being shipped to Hezbollah.

''It's a cargo certificate that shows that it was from a port in Iran,'' military spokeswoman Lt. Col. Avital Leibovich said. ''All the cargo certificates are stamped at the ports of origin, and this one was stamped at an Iranian port.''

The Israelis boarded the ship before dawn in the waters near Cyprus. Israel has long accused Iran of arming its enemies.

Ben-Yehuda told a briefing that ''hundreds of tons'' of weapons were found on the ship, giving a much higher estimate than an earlier one of more than 60 tons.

Containers had Iranian shipping codes in English -- ''IRISL'' on one side and ''I.R. Iranian Shipping Lines Group'' on the other. Some of the hundreds of crates lined up on the dock were open, revealing dark green missiles with English-language designations painted in black.

that the arms were meant for the Lebanese guerrillas.

Israeli military officials said the ship's journey started in Iran, and it arrived a week ago in Beirut. The next stop was Damietta, Egypt, where the weapons were loaded, they said. Ben Yehuda said the ship was headed for Latakia, Syria.

In Tehran, Syria's Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem dismissed Israeli allegations the ship carried arms.

''Unfortunately, some official pirates in the seas, sometimes in the name of the navy, sometimes in the name of inspection, obstruct trade movement between Syria and Iran,'' al-Moallem said a joint news conference with his Iranian counterpart.

''This ship does not carry Iranian weapons to Syria and does not contain military material to manufacture weapons in Syria. This ship carries imported goods from Syria to Iran,'' al-Moallem added.

His comments made in Arabic were carried by Hezbollah's Al-Manar TV station and other Lebanese local stations.

It was unclear why al-Moallem said the ship was headed in the opposite direction of that claimed by Israel. Syrian officials were not immediately available for comment in Damascus.

Israel accuses Syria and Iran of supplying Hezbollah with weapons using air, sea and land routes -- including through the port of Latakia.

If true, Israel's claim would bolster allegations that Syria has been complicit in getting weapons to Hezbollah.

An Egyptian government official said it was ''illogical'' to think that Egypt is shipping weapons to Hezbollah. The official, who would not be named because he was not authorized to discuss the case with the media, could not confirm or deny if the ship entered Egyptian ports. But he said it is not possible to search every ship that enters Egypt's ports.

Egypt's relations with Hezbollah have been strained following the arrest in April of 26 people suspected of working for the group. The group is on trial in Cairo accused of spying for a foreign group, planning attacks against tourists and shipping in the Suez Canal, and sending operatives to Gaza to help militant groups there.

In the southern port Israeli city of Ashdod where the ship was towed and docked, hundreds of rockets and piles of boxes of grenades were stacked on the shore as Israeli forces unloaded the cargo, a process that was expected to take hours.

Israel and Hezbollah fought a bitter war in the summer of 2006 that ended with a U.N.-brokered cease-fire and tesnions still remain high.

Wednesday's seizure was bigger than a similar haul in 2002, when Israeli military confiscated a vessel with 50 tons of missiles, mortars, rifles and ammunition headed forPalestinian militants in the Gaza Strip.

The presence of Iranian proxies in the Mideast have combined with worries over Tehran's nuclear program and arsenal of long-range missiles to make Iran the Jewish state's most formidable foe.

Israel shares the West's fears that , despite its assertions to the contrary. Neutralizing the Iranian nuclear threat remains Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's top priority and Israel has not ruled out a military strike against Tehran's nuclear facilities.

Ben-Yehuda said weapons, including Katyusha rockets, were stashed on a commercial vessel operating under the guise of an aid ship, captained by a Pole and flying an Antiguan flag.

The Good Book?

2009-12-06T21:13:00.005-05:00

How is the Bible considered a "Good Book" when it encourages so many bad things such as killing. I thought one of the commandments was "Thou Shalt Not Kill."

The Bible is used to control populations and keep them from their true inner spirituality. The truth lies within all of us. Let us not be fooled by paralyzing, fear inducing dogmas. We are all worthy and are not sinners as the bible would have us believe.

The word sin in this context is misused to make people feel like they are inherently bad so that they feel the need to repent to a higher power namely The Church.

Our Inherited Dysfunction -Eckhart Tolle "A New Earth"

to Christian teachings, the normal collective state of humanity is one of "original sin." Sin is a word that has been greatly misunderstood and misinterpreted. Literally translated from the ancient Greek in which the New Testament was written, to sin means to miss the mark, as an archer who misses the target, so to sin means to miss the point of human existence. It means to live unskillfully, blindly, and thus to suffer and cause suffering. Again, the term, stripped of its cultural baggage and misinterpretations points to the dysfunction inherent in the human condition.

I have included some bible quotes that clearly show how the "Good Book" is really not that good at all and is intent on scaring us into submission. Millions have been killed in the name of "God." The insanity must be seen so we can realize that there is a better way. This better way involves looking inside to see what lies beyond all concepts, thoughts and dogmas.

It is important to note the use of the word "Thou" as it pertains to the scriptures of the Bible. The term "thou" is used in place of "you" as in "Thou shalt not kill" or "you shall not kill anyone"

Deuteronomy 7

2And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:

3Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.

4For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

5But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

10And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

20Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

21Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.

22And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

23But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.

24And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

5Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

6At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

7The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.

What is a Microzyma and how can "US" avoid getting sick?

2009-12-06T21:13:00.004-05:00

We are heading into "cold season" and I thought I would share some insight into how we can prevent ourselves from "coming down with" the common cold and flu as well as other illnesses.

There are many myths and misconceptions about our reality and all that it encompasses in general, but one of the biggest pieces of disinformation out there is that we "get" sick. The truth of the matter is that colds are not caught, they are created. This antiquated paradigm where we believe that we catch colds, flus and diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes came from Louis Pasteur who popularized the germ theory or the idea that we catch a bug and it makes us sick and therefore we need medication to eliminate the foreign invaders causing us to become ill. I'm not saying that all drugs are evil as a select few have prevented many deaths such as in invention of penicillin. Unfortunately, because of this dogmatic belief in the germ theory we have given all of our power away to create healthy bodies and lives.

At the end of Pasteur's life, it is known that he admitted that he was wrong about the origin of illness and confessed that dis-ease is in fact created from the environment in which the cell is bathed in, not from any singular external germ or microbe. There is a brilliant microbiologist named Dr. Robert Young who is sort of the modern leader in cutting edge science concerning health. Dr. Young says that microzyma are tiny dots that are at the foundation of all biological matter. These "protits" or microzyma are malleable in their purpose and function. If they are forced to live in an acidic environment they create pathological bacteria, viruses, yeast/mold/fungus. The purpose for this transformation is to break down dying and decaying matter to return it to it's basic components so that it can be recycled into another form and be used again to create something new. We are not here, however, with the purpose of dying, we are here to thrive and experience an abundant life. If our inner terrain is that of an alkaline environment, just the opposite happens and these microscopic "dots" morph (this process is called pleomorphism) into non-pathogenic or healthy cells designed to eliminate all of the harmful bacteria and waste in our system, keeping us in an optimum healthy state of being.

How do we create an alkaline inner terrain then? The way we do this is by choosing alkaline forming foods over acid forming ones. Below is a small list of alkaline and acid forming foods. What you want to do is eliminate as many acid forming foods as you can and introduce a multitude of delicious alkaline inducing foods from the list below.

Acid Forming Foods

- Animal Flesh
- Dairy Products
- Carbonated Drinks
- Alcohol
- Black Tea
- Hydrogenated Oils
- Peanuts, Cashews, Pistachios
- Chocolate and Candy
- Microwaved Food
- Sugar
- Bread
- Vinegar
- High Sugar Fruits
- Cigarette
- All Drugs

Alkaline Forming Foods

- Vegetables (Especially dark leafy greens, cucumbers, broccoli, celery)
- Chlorophyll
- Seeds, Nuts, Grains
- Herbal Tea
- Green Drinks
- Lemon Water
- Avocados
- Lemons/Limes

The next question is, why is it important to create and maintain optimum physical health besides our own well being and vitality? In my mind, the reason is contribution. If you are not healthy you are in pain, you are depressed and mainly thinking about yourself, "your pain" or "your illness." What can often happen is that we live with an illness for long enough that it becomes a part of how we identify ourselves to others including family, friends, co-workers and doctors. While we may not be aware, we can create and hold our sense of self within this framework of "I'm so and so with this disease" or "I'm a diabetes patient" or "I have cancer" or "I'm a cancer surviver." It's kind of funny what I see that happens sometimes. I've seen people who get a manifestation of cancer removed from their body, such as a tumor or they are radiated and the cancer goes into remission and then suddenly they are a "CANCER SURVIVOR" and they wear this around like a title or trophy, they might as well have a name tag on that says, "My name is 'George' and I'm a CANCER SURVIVOR." Cancer has become a part of their identity except this time it's not having cancer that they create their sense of self from it is the idea that they don't have it and have somehow fought off the enemy named "CANCER." In a lot of cases, all they have done is delayed the disease or won a small battle and the larger war is on it's way down the road in 5-10 years. At this time when it comes back it won't be such an easy battle to fight though and they will often succumb to this tyrannous foe and are looked upon as someone who "fought a brave fight against cancer." Their false identity as a cancer survivor is then transmuted by their loved ones into one of a "brave soul who was the victim of a courageous battle with cancer."

The point here is, we have come to a point in our collective thinking that says that we must take something to rid ourselves of this illness such as a prescription drug or over the counter agent which is merely masking the symptoms and potentially creating greater problems in the future. If we have a headache we immediately reach for a bottle of Advil when we should really be reaching for a glass of water and/or taking some time for ourselves to relax and meditate, stretch or rest so as to eliminate some of the stress that is causing the constriction which is felt as a "headache." If we have a cold we hit the walk in clinic and get a prescription for anti-biotics which can kick the bug out of us for now while in the process it fundamentally destroys our immune system and hence makes us more susceptible to even greater illnesses in the future. This mindset where we are constantly reaching outside of ourselves to cure the dis-ease is improper and dysfunctional. Here is a piece of wisdom I would like to impart on you that can change your life for the better if you'll use it. Are you ready? Are ya sure? Okay here it is....

ALL PROBLEMS IN YOUR LIFE COME FROM THE INSIDE AND THEREFORE YOU MUST LOOK INSIDE TO SOLVE THEM.

What this means is that your health and and emotional problems are created from within. When it comes to our health these problems are created by what we put into our body. If we're incessantly throwing lifeless, inorganic food into our bodies we are basically creating new cells out of dead ones and the result is inefficient and sick cells. If instead we input alive, organic foods into our bodies, we can create alive, healthy cells and bodies. There is an organizing intelligence that is at the base of all life, creating and maintaining the structural integrity of our food, bodies and nature. This intelligence keeps the stars aligned, it keeps the planets orbiting around their respective heavenly bodies like clockwork, it is responsible for all healing and creation of new healthy cells and tissues in our body and more. As Wayne Dyer says, "It's what keeps your eyeballs in their sockets and your arms from falling off." Without sounding too mystical put it this way, if you believe in acupuncture you believe that there is an underlying intelligence or energy that flows through our bodies, in acupuncture it is called Chi, Ki or Qi, in other traditions it is called Prana.

The primary method of which we receive and assimilate this life sustaining intelligence into our bodies is through the food we eat, there are other ways we receive it but food is one of the most important. Plant life contains this life force energy and it is easy transferred into our bodies by consuming these alive foods. Anthony Robbins say, "If you want to be alive, eat live foods." Makes sense to me. If we eat dead animals or "meat" as most call it, we are eating something that has begun to decay and move back into the ground from which it came. You can cut a flower and put it in some water and it will continue to grow, you can't cut side of beef off of a cow and have the cow still be alive or the side of beef or cow muscle continue to live and grow, it is dead matter and by consuming it you are not creating the quality of cells that are possible by ingesting plants. The waters and energy contained in plants are far superior for for human consumption than animal meat (muscle). We really are kidding ourselves by calling a hamburger by anything other than a piece of cooked, dead cow muscle. Does that sound like it's going to support your life with any kind of beneficial properties? If you're eating animal "meat" you are not getting the kind of nutrient quality that you are getting from plants period. Think about where the cow got it's nutrition, it got it from eating alive grasses. Why don't we cut out the middle man and just eat the plants ourselves. Other than health reasons, it is better for the environment. Factory farming and the methane gas produced by the millions of animals raised and killed for human consumption is responsible for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions while automobile carbon is only responsible for 13 percent.

Here is an interesting article if you would like to learn more about the negative impacts that factory farming has on the environment. http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/editorial/story.html?id=9b4d78ca-3f3a-4dd3-932f-c705eb6f9fac

This is not meant to be some conversion letter, however, it is important to be honest about the quality of food most people are eating. Besides animal products we are mostly consuming extremely processed foods that have no semblance of "aliveness" or "life force energy" to support your life. The answer is to eat a high percentage of fresh vegetables and fruits in your diet versus processed foods and ideally no animal products. On top of animal products being essentially dead, you are ingesting the cholesterol and bacteria of the animal, swallowing down things that your body works hard to try to eliminate. It's like going to the washroom and then drinking a glass full of urine - sounds disgusting but it's the truth.

After all of that, the point is, if we consume acid forming foods we will be sick more often and definitely in the long term. If we are chronically or periodically sick we cannot possibly contribute to our fullest capacity. If we are ill then we are forced to become selfish to care for ourselves or our loved ones who are ill. It's funny how people don't talk to each other very often besides occasional visits most likely on major holidays such as Christmas and New Years or birthdays where they invariably consume a bunch of unhealthy foods and drinks such as cakes, candies, big turkeys, mashed potatoes, alcohol, pops and high sugar fruit juices, and then they end up getting sick from those very foods and drinks that they consumed while socializing. So we rarely assemble to relate to each other and when we do we eat a bunch of garbage that makes us sick. Then, years later one of the tribe gets sick and everyone spends lots of time and has much sympathy for the victim of this dis-ease that "got Aunt Suzzy or Uncle Johhny." Even worse, if you choose not to participate in the same way that everyone else does and don't eat the animal products or cakes, candies and alcohol you are ostracized and labelled as being a "health nut." Unfortunately, this is an example of what the Australians call "Tall Poppy Syndrome" where the herd cuts down individuals who stand out from the crowd and do something different than the rest of the social cohort. Social proof is something that is extremely detrimental to our collective health. Everyone looks around to see what everyone else is doing and does that, the only problem is, what everyone else is doing is killing them. The odds are currently 1 in 3 that you will get cancer in your lifetime, 1 in 4 that you will get diabetes and 1 in 2 that you will get heart disease. Do you want to be like everyone else or maybe stand out from the pack and try something different? I think your odds are better if you're the "Tall Poppy."

If you can get past the herd mentality and choose a lifestyle that is conducive to good physical and mental health you will be able to step outside of yourself and begin to create a life where you have something to offer others besides the usual emotional sympathy and dependency that constitutes most so called "relationships." When you come from a place of vibrant health you come from a place of abundance where you have more than enough for yourself and can then shift your focus to giving to others instead putting out fires, whether they be physical illnesses or emotional shortcomings and dysfunctions.

You see we are all here, on every level, to create something and to contribute to the greater good of whole. You are here to give to others. Your purpose is to experience life and then pass on that knowledge and wisdom to others so they can continue to expand outward and experience more. You are a projection of the entire Universe. The Universe is expanding in order to experience and create more of itself out of the sheer joy of creating and experiencing. If your body is ill, it is dying and cannot experience or create anything of significant value for the whole. The reason we become depressed and ill is because we are not fulfilling our desires of creating and experiencing or we are cut off from the our deeper source of sustenance. If life is happening to us and we live in victim mentality we are being blasphemous to the reason we came here. I truly believe we are here for a purpose and not simply some pointless Darwinian existence with nothing to do except take from others and compete for our share , to get ours so to speak. Is it not true that the times of greatest joy are those when you have truly helped someone else in need or helped someone learn or helped them become something great and when you have expressed yourself creatively or through real, a genuine outpouring of love? This is the potential of mankind. If we live from this higher good all of our global problems will disappear and we ALL will live lives or joy, peace and abundance. We ALL deserve these things and we can and should strive to attain them.

You might be thinking, why do I write these notes trying to teach people how to be well and cure themselves from physical and mental dis-ease. Why do I care if other people are sick or healthy, sad or happy. The answer is, I care because there is a part of me that recognizes that if you are not well, I am not well, if you are sad then I am sad. Conversely, if you are healthy, vital and clear minded, I am also. If you are happy, joy filled and peaceful then I too am happy, joyful and living in peace. I cannot fully live happily or healthfully until you are happy and healthy. Likewise the same is true for you. If I am not living a life of joy, love, abundance and peace, you cannot possibly fully experience these states either. We are co-dependent beings on every level even if we see ourselves as separate living entities. The deeper truth is that I depend on your happiness, health and peaceful of mind as much as you depend on mine.

All this comes down to is a matter of choice. We are the choosers of our destiny. Whenever we think we have a problem in our lives that someone else has caused for us, it is really ourself asking for this experience in order to continue to grow. All experiences are good experiences in the end, even if they may seem harmful or pointless in the current moment. Although what I have said is truth, we need not create realities of strife and torment for ourselves and each other. There is a better way, it is a conscious way. We can consciously create an existence of bliss, harmony and beauty or we can create one of destruction, greed and conflict, it is our choice. The choice, however, must be made with the whole in mind. You are a small slice of the global pie. You can be self centered and rot, spoiling the rest of the pie, or you can make everyone else's happiness and health your business and responsibility by first creating a healthy, joy filled life for yourself and then by helping and teaching others how to do the same.

You are one cell in the body of our planet, we can choose to be pathogenic, cancerous, individual cells devouring everything and everyone in our path with an ego-centric outlook and victim mentality or we can choose to be healthy, vibrant cells doing our best to contribute to the health of the entire organism and trying to create the best "US" we can create. If we think of the word "us" a little more and think about how what we're doing might affect more than just "me" we then raise up to take the higher road in life, the road of creation, love, bliss and peace.

Be well, contribute and create for the benefit of all.

From Pain To Joy

2009-12-06T21:12:00.002-05:00

I was just doing some stretching and had a deep realization. Some months ago I broke a couple of bones in my upper back and I still experience pain from this. I was stretching into the pain and realized that this is what we all must do in every facet of our lives. If we experience pain or fear, whether physical or psychological, we must dive into it physically or psychologically in order to heal it.
When you have an injury you must work "through it" you must stretch through the pain. By stretching into and through it the pain goes away or lessens. When we have fear or pain in our minds we must delve deeply into it to be one with it. When we achieve oneness with the percieved problem or issue we see that it lessens or disappears all together.

Try stretching into your physical and/or emotional pains or fears to see what happens. When we deny them by avoiding moving through them or by avoiding feeling the emotion, through whichever means we use such as drinking or smoking or watching excessive t.v. or seeing ourselves as victims of "this thing that has happened to ME" or doing anything else to escape it, whether constructive or destructive, we make these issues more of a permanent obstacle and they become a part of our identity. We CAN heal our lives physically and emotionally. Find out why there is hurt physically or mentally, go into it and it will lessen or disappear.

This is the way of meditation. By becoming still and diving within, we see what is inside of us beyond the superficial level. What is inside of us? Become one with the breath and try to eliminate all internal mental chatter to see what lies inside of you. I promise you that you will be surprised at how little control you have over your thoughts and emotions. Until you take the time and dedication to see your thoughts and emotions you cannot realize how these things happen to you without your conscious choice. We can only gain control over them when we have learned to watch them pass through our mind and to stop identifying with them and making them into 'who we think we are.' The truth is, we are not our thoughts or our mental or emotional pains and we are certainly not our life circumstances or what has happened to us. Sure things have happened to us that have been beyond our control but this does not define who we are. We must find who we are beyond social and psychological conditioning. Who is the real you behind the mask of this conditioning; what is the fundamental basis of your existence? You can find the answers to these questions by diving within and watching your thoughts and emotions until they detach from your identity, from who you think you are. There is a greater you underneath and beyond anything that has ever happened to you that is indestructible and incapable of experiencing pain. This is where true joy lies. There is a well of pure bliss and joy that lies within each one of us waiting to be rediscovered. We had this joy when we were babies and small children before conditioning made us think that we were "this name" or "of this nationality" or "of this belief system." We are so much more than any of these artificial labels and mental constructs that only separate us from each other and from our true nature which is pure love, joy and bliss.

To cure ourselves of physical pain, we must physically move into it until we have become one with it and it will fade - to cure ourselves of mental pain we must go within and become one with it. Until we have literally faced the source of our issues they only remain or become more dominant. By becoming one with what we perceive as wrong we accept it and are freed. This note is an invitation for you to find freedom from pain whether it is physical or emotional. Emotional pain can always be worked through and that love, joy and bliss can become your reality. Physically speaking it is hard to say whether all physical pain can be solved, however, it can be accepted. Through acceptance we create space around the pain and lose our identification with it and it will lessen also.

I encourage you and hope you take this invitation and make it a priority to go into your pains physically through stretching and exercise and mentally through meditation and contemplation. If you do this, I promise you that your life will improve beyond measure and you will find joy.

What I'm doing everyday that is giving me a ton of energy!

2009-12-06T21:11:00.004-05:00

Hello all...I just thought I would share with everyone the things I'm doing concerning health that are really working for me and giving me a ton of energy. Try these out if you want to increase your vitality and well being.

I'm just finishing a cleanse with a product called Renew Life Total Body Rapid Cleanse http://www.renewlife.com/products/total-body-rapid-cleanse.aspx I bought this at the Peanut Mill

It really clears out the excess fecal matter built up, but one word of caution would be to drink plenty of water or you will just get more constipated. The first day I didn't drink much water and I didn't even go to the bathroom once...the second day I drank a lot of water and it started moving really well.

My energy has shot through the roof and it has also helped with my spiritual connection. The other thing I'm doing is drinking a green shake everyday as well as taking greens supplements. http://www.nationalnutrition.ca/detail.aspx?ID=1032 This is it called Naka Vital Greens.

In my green shake the ingredients are:

Green Alkalizing Shake

1/4 Cup of Water
1 - Avocado
3- Strawberries
1/3-1/2 Lemon
1/3 Seeded Cucumber
1 Banana
A pinch of Cayenne Pepper
1 teaspoon of Himalayan Salt Brine
1 Shot of Vital Greens - Greens Supplement

I'm also eating steamed Swiss Chard nearly everyday and of course I don't eat any meat, dairy or egg products or drink any alcohol except on very rare occasion and I'm drinking quite a bit of water everyday instead of juices or soy milk. I've stopped consuming soy milk because they are using it to make adhesives which can't be good for your body. If it sticks things together it will also stick things in your body together like food, waste and blood cells meaning you won't be able to eliminate or receive oxygen and nutrients properly.

P.S. The major protein in milk, casein, is the same thing used the stick the label on a bottle of beer so milk is not better it is worse. Protein inhibits the absorption of calcium and milk is basically liquid meat and is very high in protein. Contrary to popular belief, milk actually leeches calcium from your bones, it doesn't add to them. Their is much more, and usable, calcium in dark green leafy vegetables.

Milk - The Deadly Poison

I've started using either Unsweetened Almond Milk or Unsweetened Hemp Milk. The cereal I eat in the morning is a variety of an All Bran type of cereal but you must drink plenty of water when consuming bran or it will bind you up further.

Of course Raw Foods are the best diet but this is working really well for me. I'm also taking a few supplements including: CoQ10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Calcium/Magnesium, B1, Above Sea Level Coral Powder. When I run out of the pill forms of CoQ10 and Alpha Lipoic Acid I will be using one supplement by Naka as well called Nutri-Prevent which has the following ingredients:

"Naka Nutri-Prevent

Ingredients Information:
Nutri Prevent is an effective vitamin formulation featuring the benefits of Resveratrol, Co-Q10, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Quercetin and B vitamins. It is an extra strength antioxidant and cardiovascular health support aid. Clinical studies suggest that increasing the antioxidant status of our blood serum may result in reduced risk of many chronic degenerative diseases.
Each softgel contains: Medicinal ingredients:

Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) ....100 mg
Resveratrol Extract 50% (derived from Japanese Knotweed) ....100 mg
Alpha Lipoic Acid ....200 mg
Quercetin ....150 mg
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) ....10 mg
Niacinamide ....50 mg
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) ....500 mcg

Non-medicinal ingredients: Soybean oil, Lecithin, and bees wax. Contains no wheat, gluten, corn, nuts, dairy, eggs, fish or shellfish."

I take my greens and Coral Powder together first thing when I wake up before eating anything to "Break my Fast" and get things moving and then I have my breakfast about 20 minutes later.

You might also want to read this if you're into juicing because it may not be the best thing and can contribute to constipation and improper elimination. http://optimallivingfoods.com/content/my-thoughts-juicing

For exercise I am doing Qigong which is an Chi cultivating, no impact, exercise in the same vein as Tai Chi and is a lot of fun and very energizing and calming.

Introduction To Qigong

Also for spiritual connection, energy, plus the mutitude of health benefits meditation is amazing!

How To Meditate

The most important things for energy and health are

1. Water

2. Oxygen

3. Becoming Alkaline (eating a diet full of fresh vegetables to neutralize the acids we build up in our daily lives.

4. A healthy mental attitude free from worry, anxiety and negative thinking (Meditation will greatly help with this)

5. A strong sense of life purpose

Try these suggestions or don't...just thought I would pass on what I am doing that is working for me. I hope these suggestion are useful for you in your life

Reversing Cancer/Heart Disease/Diabetes

2009-12-06T21:08:00.001-05:00

We all know someone with diabetes or someone who has died from or has cancer or heart disease. Here are some videos and articles that can help point people in the right direction to healing and in some cases completely reversing diabetes and other thought to be known as terminal or life sentence diseases. Dr. Robert Young is a genius molecular biologist from the US who has discovered that the body will heal itself when it is put into a natural alkaline state via proper nutrition. Check out these videos and articles and send it to you friends and family if you wish to educate them on how to heal themselves.
Also, if you're looking to lose weight and keep it off this is the answer as well so please check out the 2nd video to learn how you can lose weight permanently by maintaining a proper alkaline PH diet.

Please know and remember that there are no life sentences, you can improve and reverse any conditions you have if you truly want to by means of a healthy diet and mindset. The reason people are sick is because we are living in this society that promotes sickness. You don't cure cancer or diabetes or obesity with pills or potions, you cure it by removing the toxic lifestyles and attitudes that are promoted in this "modern" lifestyle we buy into. If we don't have time for our heath our priorities aren't straight.

Life begins with health and that should be our focus, to be and maintain a healthy body and mind so we can perform and contribute to the peak of our individual potentials. We are amazing beings and we can do amazing things if we choose to. Health is the spring board for life. Please don't allow the backwards idea of I'm too busy to eat healthy or exercise. We can live long and healthy lives but we must not put our health on the back burner, it must be the thing that we keep on our minds every time we put something into our bodies. Is this a food or drink item that will give me energy or diminish lasting energy, will it give me life force energy or will it strip it away. We make the choice to be heathy or sick period. Eat healthy and you will be healthy no doubt.

Disease is not a life sentence. We are not doomed to succumb to the odds of 1 in 2 getting heart disease and 1 in 3 getting cancer. Here are the top killers in North America #1 Heart Disease, #2 Cancer, #3 Infections, #4 Adult Onset Diabetes. These are all, except for perhaps infections, very preventable and reversible diseases. Healthy living is a simple paradigm shift about what the purpose of food is. The purpose of food is not to satiate some emotional problem or comfort us - the purpose is to nurture our living systems so we can engage in a vital and long life.

Another great way to promote a healthy mind and body is through the art of meditation. I can't say enough about how meditating has changed and continues to change my life. I have been meditating for about a year now and I have seen a drastic change in my emotional state. Before I began this practice I was an emotional train wreck I have discovered. I was a victim to my thoughts running amok in my life. It was not until I learned to let go of my thoughts through meditation that I realized I am in control of my thoughts if I choose to be. I have discovered peace through doing this. If I am feeling any emotional pain or turmoil I realize now that I need to take some time in silence to clear my thoughts so I can get back in control otherwise I become stressed due to obsessive thinking. We are all obsessive thinkers and you wouldn't believe how incessantly our minds chat away causing us emotional and even physical pain. Below these health links I would like to encourage you to check into the meditation links because this practice can do so many things to benefit your physical and emotional health.

Has been useful for such conditions as :

* chronic pain
* anxiety and panic
* sleep disturbance & insomnia
* gastrointestinal distress
* fatigue
* headaches
* job or family stress
* skin disorders
* high blood pressure
* stress factors in heart disease

I hope these videos and articles help you live a long, healthy and fulfilled life.

There is no Dis-Ease

2009-12-06T20:57:00.002-05:00

The below article is taken from the website of a brilliant Micro
Biologist named Dr. Robert Young Here is the link if you want to read

P.S. Read the Note From Craig (Me) at the end if you make it through
the article...I promise you will find it fascinating!

There Is No Disease

Disease or should we say Dis-Ease names like diabetes and osteoporosis are misleading and misinform patients about dis-ease prevention.

There is a curious tendency in conventional medicine to name a set of
symptoms a disease. I was recently at a compounding pharmacy having my bone mineral density measured to update my health stats. I spotted a poster touting a new drug for osteoporosis. It was written by a drug company and it said exactly this: "Osteoporosis is a dis-ease that causes weak and fragile bones." Then, the poster went on to say that you need a particular drug to counteract this "disease."

Yet the language is all backwards. Osteoporosis isn't a disease that
causes weak bones, osteoporosis is the name given to a diagnosis of weak bones. In other words, the weak bones are the result of excess acidity, and then the diagnosis of osteoporosis followed.

The drug poster makes it sound like osteoporosis strikes first, and
then you get weak bones. The cause and effect is all backwards. And that's how drug companies want people to think about dis-eases and symptoms: first you "get" the dis-ease, and then you are "diagnosed" just in time to take a new drug for the rest of your life.

But it's all hogwash. There is no such disease as osteoporosis. It's just a made-up name given to a pattern of symptoms that indicates you are over-acid which causes your bones to become fragile.

As another example, when a person follows an unhealthy lifestyle that
results in a symptom such as high blood pressure, that symptom is actually being assumed to be a disease all by itself and it will be given a disease name. What disease? The dis-ease is, of course, "hypertension" or "high blood pressure." Doctors throw this phrase around as if it were an actual dis-ease and not merely descriptive of patient physiology.

This may all seem silly, right? But there's actually a very important point to all this.

When we look at symptoms and give them disease names, we automatically distort the selection of available treatments for such a dis-ease. If the dis-ease is, by itself, hypercholesterolemia or high cholesterol, then the cure for the dis-ease must be nothing other than lowering the high cholesterol. And that's how we end up with all these pharmaceuticals treating high cholesterol in order to "prevent" this dis-ease and lower the levels of LDL cholesterol in the human
patient.

By lowering only the cholesterol, the doctor can rest assured that he is, in fact, treating this "disease," since the definition of this "disease" is hypercholesterolemia or high cholesterol and nothing else.

But there is a fatal flaw in this approach to disease treatment: the symptom is not the cause of the dis-ease. There is another cause, and this deeper cause is routinely ignored by conventional medicine, doctors, drug companies, and even patients.

Let's take a closer look at hypertension or high blood pressure. What actually causes high blood pressure? Many doctors would say high blood pressure is caused by a specific, measurable interaction between circulating chemicals in the human body. Thus, the ill-behaved chemical compounds are the cause of the high blood
pressure, and therefore the solution is to regulate these chemicals. That's exactly what pharmaceuticals do -- they attempt to manipulate the chemicals in the body to adjust the symptoms of high blood pressure. Thus, they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

Or take a look at high cholesterol. The conventional medicine approach says that high cholesterol is caused by a chemical imbalance in the liver, which is the organ that produces cholesterol. Thus the treatment for high cholesterol is a prescription drug that inhibits the liver's production of cholesterol (statin drugs). Upon taking these drugs, the high cholesterol (the "disease") is regulated, but what was causing the liver to overproduce cholesterol in the first place? That causative factor remains ignored.

The root cause of high cholesterol, as it turns out, is primarily an
over acidic lifestyle and diet. A person lives an acidic life or who eats foods that are acidic will inevitably cause the body to go into preservation mode and produce more cholesterol to neutralize the excess acid thus showing the symptoms of this so-called dis-ease of high cholesterol. Its simple cause and effect. Eat the wrong foods and don't exercise, and you'll produce too much acid which will cause the body to release cholesterol from the liver to bind up that acid which
can be detected and diagnosed by conventional medical procedures. You see it is not the cholesterol that is bad it is the acid producing food we eat and the lack of exercise that is bad. Reduce the acid producing foods like beef, chicken, pork, dairy, coffee, tea, soda pops, etc., and start exercising every day and you will reduce the protective cholesterol that is saving your life from acids that are not being elimnated from an acidic lifestyle and diet.

Yet the root cause of all this is actually poor lifestyle and food choice, not some bizarre behavior by the liver. If the disease were to be accurately named, then, it would be called Acidic Lifestyle and Food Choice Dis-Ease, or simply ALFCD.

ALFCD would be a far more accurate name that would make sense to
people. If it's an acidic lifestyle and foods choice dis-ease, then it seems that the obvious solution to the dis-ease would be to choose a lifestyle and foods that aren't so acidic. Of course that may be a bit of simplification since you have to distinguish between healthy alkaline lifestyles and foods and unhealthy acidic lifestyle and foods. But at least the name ALFCD gives clients or patients a better idea of what's actually going on rather than naming the dis-ease after a symptom, such as high cholesterol. You see, the symptom is not the dis-ease, but conventional medicine insists on calling the symptom the dis-ease because that way it can treat the symptom and claim success without actually addressing the underlying cause, which remains a mystery to modern medicine.

But let's move on to some other dis-eases so you get a clearer picture of how this actually works. Another dis-ease that's caused by poor lifestyle and acidic food choice is diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the natural physiological and metabolic result of a person consuming refined carbohydrates and added sugars in large quantities, undigested proteins from beef, chicken, and pork without
engaging in regular physical exercise that would compensate for such dietary practices.

The name "diabetes" is meaningless to the average person. The disease should be called Excessive Acid Dis-Ease, or EAD. If it were called Excessive Acid Dis-ease, the solution to it would be rather apparent; simply eat less sugar, eliminate all animal proteins, eggs, dairy, drink fewer soft drinks, exercise and so on. But of course that would be far too simple for the medical community, so the dis-ease must be given a complex name such as diabetes that puts its solution out of reach of the average patient.

Another dis-ease that is named after its symptom is cancer. In fact, to this day, most doctors and many patients still believe that cancer is a physical thing: a tumor. In reality, a tumor is the solution of cancer, not its cause. A tumor is simply a physical manifestation of bound up acidic cells so they do not spoil other healthy cells. The tumor is the solution to cells damaged by acids not the problem. The truth is cancer is not a cell but an acidic liquid. When a person "has cancer," what they really have is cancerous tissues or latent tissue acidosis. They are absorbing their own acidic urine. It that would be a far
better name for the dis-ease: Cancerous Tisssue Dis-Ease(CTD) or Latent Tissue Acidosis or LTA.

If cancer were actually called Latent Tissue Acidosis, it would seem ridiculous to try to cure cancer by cutting out tumors through surgery and by destroying the immune system with chemotherapy. And yet these are precisely the most popular treatments for cancer offered by conventional medicine. These treatments do absolutely nothing to support the patient's immune system and prevent the build up of acids in the tissues. That's exactly why most people who undergo
chemotherapy or the removal of tumors through surgical procedures end up with yet more cancer a few months or a few years later. It's also another reason why survival rates of cancer have barely budged over the last twenty years. (In other words, conventional medicine's treatments for cancer simply don't work.) The main reason is current medical science wrongly perceives cancer as a cell when in reality cancer is an acidic liquid, like lactic acid.

This whole situation stems from the fact that the dis-ease is
misnamed. It isn't cancer, it isn't a tumor and it certainly isn't a dis-ease caused by having too strong of an immune system that needs to be destroyed through chemotherapy. It is simply latent tissue acidosis. And if it were called latent tissue acidosis dis-ease or urine in the tissues dis-ease, the effective treatment for cancer would be apparent.

There are many other dis-eases that are given misleading names by western medicine. But if you look around the world and take a look at how dis-eases are named elsewhere, you will find many countries have dis-ease names that actually make sense.

For example, in Chinese medicine, Alzheimer's dis-ease is given a name that means, when translated, "feeble mind disease." In Chinese medicine, the name of the dis-ease more accurately describes the actual cause of the dis-ease which is caused by acids or urine on the brain, whereas in western medicine, the name of the dis-ease seems to be intended to obscure the root cause of the dis-ease, thereby making all dis-eases sound far more complex and mysterious than they really are.

This is one way in which doctors and practitioners of western medicine keep medical treatments out of the reach of the average citizen. Because, by God, they sure don't want people thinking for themselves about the causes of dis-ease!

By creating a whole new vocabulary for medical conditions, they can speak their own secret language and make sure that people who aren't schooled in medicine don't understand what they're saying. That's a shame, because the treatments and cures for virtually all chronic dis-eases are actually quite simple and can be described in plain language, such as making different alkaline food choices,
getting more natural sunlight, drinking more alkaline water, engaging
in regular physical exercise, avoiding specific acidic foods, supplementing our diet with green foods and green drinks and alkalizing nutritional supplements and so on.

See, western medicine prefers to describe dis-eases in terms of chemistry. When you're depressed, you aren't suffering from a lack of natural sunlight; you are suffering from a "brain chemistry imbalance" that can only be regulated, they claim, by ingesting toxic chemicals to alter your brain chemistry. When your bones are brittle, it's not acidic brittle bones dis-ease; it's called osteoporosis, something that sounds very technical and complicated.
And to treat it, western doctors and physicians will give you prescriptions for expensive drugs that somehow claim to make your bones less brittle. But in fact, the real treatment for this can be described in plain language once again: regular physical exercise, vitamin D supplementation, mineral supplements that include
calcium and strontium, natural sunlight, and avoidance of acidic foods such as soft drinks, white flour and added sugars.

In fact, virtually every dis-ease that's prominent in modern society --
diabetes, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, clinical depression, irritable bowel syndrome and so on -- can be easily described in plain language without using complex terms at all. These dis-eases are simply misnamed. And I believe that they are intentionally misnamed to put the jargon out of reach of everyday citizens. As a result, there's a great deal of arrogance in the language of western medicine, and this arrogance furthers the language of separation. Separation never results in healing. In order to effect healing, we must bring together the language of healers and patients using plain language that real
people understand and that real people can act upon.

We need to start describing dis-eases in terms of their root causes, not in terms of their arcane, biochemical actions. When someone suffers from seasonal affective disorder or clinical depression, for example, let's call it what it is: Sunlight Deficiency Disorder. To treat it, the person simply needs to get more sunlight. This isn't rocket science, it's not complex, and it doesn't require a prescription.

If someone is suffering from osteoporosis, let's get realistic about the words we use to describe the condition: it's really Acidic Bones Dis-ease. And it should be treated with things that will enhance bone density, such as nutrition, physical exercise and avoidance of acidic foods and drinks that strip away bone mass from the human body to neutralize the excess acids in the blood and tissues.

All of this information, of course, is rather shocking to old-school
doctors and practitioners of western medicine, and the bigger their egos are, the more they hate the idea of naming dis-eases in plain language that patients can actually comprehend. That's because if the simple truths about dis-eases and their causes were known, health would be more readily available to everyday people, and that would lessen the importance of physicians and medical researchers.

There's a great deal of ego invested in the medical community, and they sure don't want to make sound health attainable to the average person without their expert advice. Many Doctors want to serve as the translators of "truth" and will balk at any attempts to educate the public to either practice medicine on their own.

But in reality, health (and a connection with spirit) is attainable by every single person. Health is easy, it is straightforward, it is direct and, for the most part, it is available free of charge. A personal connection with our Creator is the same if we ask humbly in prayer for a relationship with Him, and guidance.

Don't believe the names of dis-eases given to you by your doctor. Those names are designed to obscure, not to inform. They are designed to separate you from self-healing, not to put you in touch with your own inner healer. And thus, they are nothing more than bad medicine masquerading as modern medical practice.

Note from Craig:

Here's the problem as I see it. We have been so brainwashed by
the media and our own Doctor's with their out of date and biased
education (coming largely from the companies manufacturing the harmful
prescription drugs) that we think it would be crazy to try and cure a
disease by ourselves without medical assistance. The other major
problem is that we think that we NEED milk, meat, sugary sodas and
juices to survive. We have been brought up on these tasty foods and
now think that "you need meat to get your protein" and you "need milk
to get your calcium" and sodas taste good so we drink them all day
long without regard to the impact on our health.

The fudamental reason why we do anything in life is the avoidance
of PAIN and the pursuit of PLEASURE. This is the root cause of all
human behaviour. Here's my breakdown of why we can't seem to make the
choices necessary for good health over making bad choices in what we
consume. Remember you are what you eat...it's true. Most people see it
as PAIN to go against what the doctors tell us what to do. The reason
for this is not one dimensional. First of all there is something called
social proof which states that we tend to do what everyone else is
doing because we can trust it to be right since so many others are
doing it and all of those people CAN'T be wrong...right? Most people
think they are independent and that they don't try to impress people and they
don't care what other people think, but the truth is no matter how
independent you are, on some level we all still care what other people
think of us. This stems from our infancy...I will give you a brief
summary of why. When we are infants we do anything and we get positive
reinforcement for it...eg. we burp and it's cute...slobber on
ourselves and it's adorable...we giggle and it's fascinating.

The thing is, as we grow older we don't get that same sort of
automatic appreciation that we did as infants and children, we have to
DO things and obey rules to get appreciated and noticed. Not
everything we do is cute and adorable and we are required to meet certain
criteria to be accepted. This is where social proof begins. It's
PAINful to not be accepted or paid attention to therefore we begin
doing what other people are doing because if you don't you get
PAIN...one example is if you don't obey the laws that everyone else
obeys you get PAIN (you get a speeding ticket or put in jail).

Over time we have learned that it is good to do what everyone
else is doing and therefore since everyone else is taking prescription
drugs to treat DIS-EASE we continue to do it because..."Doctors are
trying to help us" right? Well, I do believe that most doctors are trying
to help us but the fact is that a high percentage of doctor's post
medical school education comes from the drug companies and of course
they are going to be biased toward using prescription drugs over using
natural sources to cure dis-eases. Because they are getting most if
not all of their education from the drug companies they are experiencing
extreme cognitive dissonace and invariably choosing to prescribe the
use of one of the medications recommended by the drug companies...who
also give them hefty financial bonuses for taking part in their
educational seminars which are often weekend getaways and mini vacations...furthering the biase. The feel the have to give you this prescription because they have been paid by the companies.

DO NOT BLINDLY TRUST YOUR DOCTOR. Guess what one of the top 5 killers
is in the U.S. (I'm sure it's up there in Canada as well) MEDICAL
ERRORS! Here is an article with some statistics if you want to read
further. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Third-Leading-Cause-of-Death-In-the-USA-Doctors&id=573415

Sure Doctors mean well but they are only human and therefore not
perfect. Doctors make mistakes just like the rest of us. The thing we
have to be careful of is believing what we have been told is the truth. Just because we have learned
something all of our lives doesn't mean it is true. We must break out
from the machine which is the brainwashing of the media. Fact...all of
the major television stations that we all watch are owned...they are not independent and bias free news makers...Here is a breakdown
of the companies that own all of the media stations that we watch.
These are U.S. figures...but in Canada we are basically consuming
American media filtered through our CANCON outfit so don't think that
because we're in Canada it's any different...it's not.

Six huge corporations now control the major U.S. media: Rupert
Murdoch's News Corporation (FOX, HarperCollins, New York Post, Weekly
Standard, TV Guide, DirecTV and 35 TV stations), General Electric
(NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Telemundo, Bravo, Universal Pictures and 28 TV
stations), Time Warner (AOL, CNN, Warner Bros., Time and its 130-plus
magazines), Disney (ABC, Disney Channel, ESPN, 10 TV and 72 radio
stations), Viacom (CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, Simon &
Schuster and 183 U.S. radio stations), and Bertelsmann (Random House
and its more than 120 imprints worldwide, and Gruner + Jahr and its
more than 110 magazines in 10 countries).

Okay...back to the reason for this article. It's obvious that we
cannot 100% trust the Doctor's opinions because they are influenced by
the drug companies and media stations who are owned by huge, money
hungry corporations. It's not that they mean us harm just that they
are getting biased education and therefore are not giving us the best
advice possible. Of course if you have a terminal condition where
death would be imminent within a matter of days or weeks you would
have to use the methods available for avoiding immediate death.
However you should still use alternative methods of improving your
health during the process and afterward. If you have a "condition"
such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoperosis, hypertension it would
be beneficial to you to break the ties of media and prescription drug
company influence and TAKE CONTROL of your own life. You don't need to
be on prescription drugs for the rest of your life. FACT: All
prescription drugs are toxic. Since this is fact (This is clearly stated in the front of the PDR - Physician's Desk Reference) it is obviously not
the best answer to continue the use prescription drugs because they may be causing you more harm in good and are only suppressing symptoms. Read the
article above by Dr. Young again and learn about the true cause of
dis-ease (being the over acidification of the body's tissues and
internal fluids by poor diet and lifestyle choices) so you can live
life to it's fullest. How many people have you seen around you have
their life cut short because of one of the major 'diseases'. I have
seen many in my own life. My Aunt Marg passed away at the young age of
57 years old of cancer. My Aunt Anne passed away very young in her
50's of cancer. My grandmother passed away of Alzheimer's and my other
grandmother passed away who had diabetes and heart problems.

People don't just get heart disease or diabetes or cancer or osteoporosis, these
'conditions' are a result of poor diet and lifestyle choices, this is a
fact therefore it stands to reason that if you change your diet and
lifestyle to one what is more congruent with good health then your
health will improve.

Every cell in your body is replaced every few
years and some are replaced every few months so if you give your cells
good nutrition and give your body exercise so that it can have proper
circulation to move out the waste materials away from the cells and
move the nutrients toward them then it makes sense that your cells will
then regenerate and become healthy. Think of it this way...Water a
plant with good clean water and it will flourish...water that same
plant with something that is not healthy for it such as oil or toxic
waste and it will certainly die the same goes for us, feed yourself toxic food and you will become toxic and get sick - feed yourself wholesome food and you will experience good health. The human body is an amazing entity
that has an extremely strong desire to subsist therefore it's not too
late to change and become more healthy even if you have one of the major dis-eases. It's all just a decision.
Decide you want to live a healthy long and happy life and decide that
you will not blindly trust the opinions of doctors and television.
Take control over your life and don't succumb to the idea that you get
a disease and now your at the mercy of the disease and hope that the
doctors can save you...SAVE YOURSELF. You are the only one who has
your best interest in mind. Visit www.phmiracleliving.com and look for
other sites that teach alkaline living to improve your health. The
statistics are high that you will become ill in some fashion at some
point during your life if you submit to social proof and do what
everyone else is doing (eating meat, drinking milk --does a body good?
No...milk is liquid meat...high in protein which impedes the
absorbsion of calcium---drinking sugar sodas and eating lifeless
processed foods). Therefore it makes sense, if you care to live a long
and healthy life so you can see you kids grow up or see you nieces and
nephews experience life or see your grandchildren grow up or whatever,
to choose food choices (which determine the state of your health) and
to get regular exercise so you can stay healthy and reverse so called
dis-ease. Remember, like Dr. Young said in the article above, the
disease didn't come first...the body was provided with poor food and
nutrition and lack of exercise and then the symptoms of that poor
food, nutrition and lack of exercise became apparent and you can rid
yourself of them if you provide your body with the proper tools for
good health.

On Dr. Young's site he also stresses the importance of proper hydration. If you're dehydrated your cells are swimming in shallow water so to speak. Your body's water supply is 45-50 liters needs to be constantly replace with new, clean water. There is a really eye opening diagram on his site showing that at birth we are 90% water, as toddlers we are 80% water, as adults we are 70% water, as elderly we are 60% water and at death we are only 50% water, therefore it makes sense to drink more water to top up our natural water reserves.

I hope you have found this article and my notes afterward helpful as I
have and I wish you all a long, healthy and happy life.

Sincerely Yours,

Craig Elliott

Anyone Care To Go Out Of Their Mind?

2009-12-06T20:56:00.001-05:00

A good friend of mine, out of nowhere, burned me a couple of CDs by Alan Watts and the first thing on one of them is him saying.

'In order to come to your senses you, sometimes, need to go out of your mind."

It's funny that he gave this to me because, in just the first line of the cd, I hear a quote that, in so many ways, totally describes the way I feel about the current mindset of most of humanity.

Change is inevitable, whether we like it or not. The type of change we experience is sometimes susceptible to our intentional will. Whether or not we choose to exercise that will determines which road we will take in our human evolution and I only hope I am wrong about my many speculations about a possible outcome for humanity. This possibility, while seemingly fanatical and grandiose, will take us if we wander along like the egoistical intelligent beings we all seem to think we are.

The one thing I have learned in the last few years, and continue to learn, is that there is always a possibility that I could be wrong and it is only my ego getting the the way of my own realization of this truth. For myself, I would rather have been wrong and have tried my best to awaken others to a potentially disastrous outcome than to see my brothers and sisters of humanity blindsided and swept into a reality that none of us would ever envision for ourselves.

It is only my wish to help bring people to their senses to divert us from this possible outcome toward one where we are permitted the right to consciously choose, not only our own personal destiny, but the destiny of our own individual countries free from dictatorial rule. Unfortunately though, in my mission, it seems the problem I face is mankind's unwillingness to go "out of his/her mind."

Craig Elliott

Please take some time to learn about this REAL and serious issue that will affect us all in one way or another if we don't act now by first getting informed and informing others and then acting in protest against it.

6th Anniversary of 9/11

2009-12-06T20:55:00.001-05:00

Hello Friends and Family,

I'm just taking a few minutes here to write you in commemoration of the fateful day of September 11, 2001 that we all remember so vividly. Tragically 2794 people were killed on a day that will forever remain in our memories. What I would like to discuss is why the attacks of September 11, 2001 occurred and what has happened since so that hopefully I can offer some insight into something that has caused so much pain for so many people around the world.

Within hours of the attack the U.S. administration had labeled Al Queda and Osama Bin Ladin as the culprits and vowed to "bring them to justice. " When I heard the accusations, honestly, I was right on board in what they were saying. I BELIEVED it. I was deeply affected by this "War On Terror" the US. administration was purporting on Afghanistan and fully supported it at first, because I knew nothing about the people of Afghanistan and it sure was easy to go along with the crowd and believe the official story of what happened on 9/11, after all they had attacked our southerly neighbours killing thousands of people....how could they....let's go and bomb the crap out of them! I knew it was true because they said so, however as the events unfolded in the months and years that passed afterward I started to think something was fishy.

As some time passed and war seemed to be escalating I felt a sense of fear wash over me, being bombarded from every angle by "Terrorism." It was on the news on every station, it was on the radio every 5 minutes. Osama...Osama...Osama....Anthrax....Anthrax....Osama!!!! For the first time in my life I felt afraid that I was no longer safe because, as was reported often on ALL of the major news and radio stations, the next attack could even be in my own country of Canada. I mean, I live close to Toronto and Niagara Falls and there were multiple "potential targets" as often spouted by the media conglomerates. Some of the targets included the CN Tower, CSIS headquarters, Niagara Falls itself, or maybe the Pickering nuclear power plant. Of course the CN Tower could be hit because it is one of the tallest buildings in the world and surely the "terrorists" would want to take that out or maybe the Niagara Falls - if they took that out it would likely flood the Niagara Region and cause massive blackouts in North America - the Pickering nuclear power plant was probably the most utterly shuddering of the possibilities that I could think of. This wasn't fanatical worrying like Chicken Little...."The sky is falling, the sky is falling," this was fear because we were being ambushed by the media stations and magazine stands with the "real" possibility that one of these high profile targets could be next on Osama and Al Queda's list. I'm sure in other parts of the country there were similar notions that some other significant targets may be hit, but those are the ones I remember as I live in the Niagara Region in Ontario, Canada.

One day I was watching the news, I think it was CNN, and they were reporting on the number of U.S. casualties in the "War On Terror" thus far, at that point the number was around 2500 soldiers I believe. I thought to myself, why doesn't the media report on how many Afghan or Iraqi casualties have occurred so far. I was curious so I did some searching online and wow was I wrong in my assumptions. I figured maybe there would have been 10 000 maybe 20 000, after all these were precisely targeted missions attacking only targets where the terrorists were right? The truth is, no matter what we were told about the casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan, the REAL number of deaths cause by the "War On Terror" were far higher than we were educated on through the news stations. There have been several studies done by other governments than the U.S. and at the time of this writing it is commonly estimated that the current death toll is reaching or has already surpassed 1 000 000 people...that's right ONE MILLION people. Woah Nelly! Let's just think about that for a second, one million people? How can this be, that's a lot of people! At the time I began my research into the subject, which was about a year and a half ago, the total was only 600 000 or so...give or take.

Upon learning of the many different and conflicting calculations of Afghani and Iraqi casualties I noticed that the U.S. numbers were significantly lower. That's strange I thought, why would the U.S. lie about the number of people killed. This one of the first of several rude awakenings I would endure though my interest and research into the subject of the "War On Terror." I can't recall how exactly, but through searching different pages I stumbled upon a documentary on youtube called Loose Change and watching this quite literally blew my world WIDE OPEN. Here is a link to the entire video that you can watch for free on Google Video if you care to view it for yourself:

I can assume that most of you won't bother watching that because you're busy with life or your kids or work or your business or whatever and I can respect that, but I must say you will remain in the dark if you don't. I'm not saying Loose Change is the only video worthy of watching, but it is the one documentary that really propelled the 9/11 Truth Movement to where it is now. Just type in the keywords '911 Truth' into Google Video or You Tube and you will find many, many more short and long videos and documentaries on the subject. In fact, just type it into any search engine and you will come across thousands of sites with evidence contradicting the official story of what happened on 9/11.

So what is the "official story of 9/11." I'll tell you in a nutshell.

- 19 Arabs hijacked 4 planes on the morning of September 11, 2001 with box cutters (approximately 4 or 5 per plane)
- Two planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center
- Another plane was flown into the Pentagon (the most heavily guarded building in the U.S. and possibly the world without interception)
- Another plane crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania after the "passengers" over took the "terrorists" and adverted what could have been a 4th potential target
- Within 2 hours both World Trade Center towers that had been hit by planes collapsed into their own foot prints pulverizing ALL of the concrete leaving only a contorted heap of metal and concrete soot behind
- At 5:22pm on September 11 World Trade Center Building 7 collapsed into it's own footprint without being hit by a plane

Those are the physical events that occurred on September 11, 2001. What was the explanation? Well, they told us through the official 9/11 investigation report called The 9/11 Commission that the fires in the twin towers were so hot that it weakened the structural steel of the buildings to the point of failure and the towers suffered a "pancake collapse" where the floors at the top started falling on top of each other all the way to the bottom causing the two towers to come down. There was, and is, no explanation for WTC Building 7 collapsing, in fact it was omitted from the report all together. Nope, no need for an explanation of a 47 story steel reinforced concrete building collapsing at free fall speed into it's own foot print. Not to mention that it was not hit by a plane and only sustained minimal damage due to falling debris from the twin towers collapsing because it was approximately 300 feet apart when buildings 4 and 5 were adjacent to the twin towers and sustained heavy damage and did not fall.

Let's take a look at a scientific fact: Structural steel has a melting point of 2800 degrees Fahrenheit and a hydro carbon fire, as in the case of jet fuel, can only burn up to a temperature of 1800 degree Fahrenheit. Hmm...well if a hydro carbon fire can only burn up to 1800 degrees and it takes 2800 degrees for structural steel to weaken and melt then how did the towers come down due to massive structural failure? Oh and by the way, a hydro carbon fire can only burn up to 1800 degrees under perfect conditions and the fires at the twin towers were anything but perfect conditions. You see, when a fire is oxygen starved it emits lots of black smoke as did the fires in the twin towers meaning that the fires in those two buildings could have been no where near 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and therefore NOWHERE NEAR HOT ENOUGH TO MELT OR WEAKEN THE STEEL IN THOSE BUILDINGS. How did the buildings come down you ask? Controlled demolition that's how. Go online and look at the various videos captured of the towers falling and think to yourself, does that look like a collapse due to structural failure or a controlled demolition of a building as seen in so many of the famous videos of controlled demolitions of old buildings and casinos.

Okay now, I wasn't planning on getting it to too much detail about any specific item of scrutiny concerning the events of 9/11 but it appears that I started there with the twin towers. There is simply too much to go into in writing and I'm sure you wouldn't want to read it all in one sitting, however let there be no doubt that I could write at lengths about the things I have learn concerning these events and their "official" explanations. I would like to suggest something to you on this day as it is the 6th anniversary of the attacks of September 11th. Take some time to think about what's going on in our world today since then, how have things changed for you. Maybe they haven't changed at all, but think about how the world has changed. Do some research into the topic of 9/11 truth for yourself. Too often people don't care to take the time to learn about real history, not the history taught to you in high school REAL history. You won't read about real history in the school text books and you won't see it on t.v. because all of our media is controlled by a few major conglomerate corporations and they don't show real news. All they do is spout propaganda instilling a perpetual sense of fear into society that "terrorists" are out to get us and essentially bombarding us into submission to the globalist objectives being; go to work, come home and sit down in front of the tube and watch mindless sitcoms and reality shows plunging our minds into idiocy where we don't really think for ourselves and we just putter along like lemmings jumping off a cliff by consuming our faces off all the while diving deeper and deeper into debt.

What faces us now, more than any other time in history is a truly make or break junction in our societal evolution. If we don't learn the truth of what is happening in the world we will be damned to lives where we are enslaved as they tried in Nazi Germany only it won't be a physical enslavement, it will be mental and financial.

There is a fabulous video that you can watch online for free that explains everything I am eluding to here. The film is called Zeitgeist...here is the link:

If you find that interesting you might enjoy this film as well called Terror Storm (about the history of government sponsored terrorism):

I suspect many of you will not believe all of the things in this film, but please, for your own good, believe me that they are 100% factual. This video is about showing the truth of world events including religion, the banking system, what really happened on 9/11, and the plan for us to be micro chipped.

I know some of you, if not all, think I'm a little different and I am. I'm the only one in my family who is a musician as far as I know and I truly think I look at the world and people in a different light than most. Now I definitely don't think I'm better or more intelligent than any one else, but I do know that I am not one who usually goes along with what everyone else is doing. I don't watch t.v. really, I maybe watch about 100-150 hours of t.v. a year which is being extremely generous and that would be 95% movies. While that may seem like a lot, 80% of North Americans watch 15-20 hours of television per week which would mean that most of you watch anywhere between 780 - 1040 hours per year and the top 20% of t.v. watchers are watching even more 2184 - 2192 per year. That means that most people watch the amount of television that I do in about 2 to 3 months and the top 20% watch the amount I watch in about 3 or 4 weeks. I do however spend a lot of time online researching and learning. Listen to me when I say that the Internet and books are the only free forms of media left and you still have to sift through a fair amount of garbage, but at least the truth is out there if you can take the time to look for it.

Please do something to learn about the truth of what happened on 9/11 because it has absolutely grave consequences if we just let "the official story" become the truth.

Here are a few quotes I think you might find interesting concerning truth and history.

John F. Kennedy:

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic

E. L. Doctorow:

History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is itss end product, myth.

George Santayana:

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

That being said, I would like to warn your about believing in anything you hear about on television. In one brief example; General Electric (or G.E. as we consumers all know it) owns NBC which is one of the 4 or 5 major broadcasting networks on Canadian and U.S. television. G.E. also owns half of The History Channel. It is relatively unknown that General Electric is also one of the major profiteers of the "War On Terror." Besides owning NBC (including MSNBC and CNBC), The History Channel and Universal Pictures, they are also one of the top 10 military contractors which directly benefit from the "War On Terror" and have every motivation to defend it and cover up it's naysayers. Here's a blurb from the following website stating their involvement in the military complex. http://www.freepress.net/ownership/chart.php?chart=main (G.E.) Military Production: Manufactures and maintains engines for the F-16 Fighter jet, Abrams tank, Apache helicopter, U2 Bomber, Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV), A-10 aircraft, and numerous military equipment including planes, helicopters, tanks, and more.

That's only one example, but it's a big one. I'm sure between today and yesterday and maybe this week many of you will have seen the History Channel documentaries or other shows which attempt to re-cap the happenings of 9/11, but please do yourself a favour and don't believe a word of it. ALL of the media stations that you watch are owned by HUGE corporations which in one way or another have ties to military, government or big banking and therefore cannot be trusted if you wish to know the truth. Look online if you wish to learn of the truth about 9/11 and history. There are mountains of documentary videos available online on Google Video and YouTube. Don't believe just one of them though, I personally have watched probably anywhere between 35-60 different documentaries concerning the events of 9/11 and other related concepts and ideas. The truth really is out there if you look hard enough.

Ignorance is not bliss, ignorance is death. Tell me this, is ignorance bliss when you cross the street? How long do you think you would live if you ignorantly crossed the street without regards to whether or not there is any traffic coming, not very long I suspect. Think of it this way - consider your life a journey from place to place and the truth history and current events is like a street that you cross to get to where you need to go to live happily. The truth about history is a nice crossing guard helping you across the street. The lies and corruption and government and corporate cover-ups are the Mac truck barreling toward you when you cross blindfolded.

We have been told that the "War On Terror" is going to be a 100 year war and believe me it will be if we continue to look the other way on major events such as the attacks of September 11, 2001. The U.S. is already priming the public for a military invasion of Iran. Logistically speaking it made a lot of sense to go into Afghanistan first and then Iraq. Iran is right in the middle between the two countries which the U.S. now occupies and has major military bases in.

Perhaps you have noticed that I have used the term "War On Terror" in quotations a lot throughout this essay. There is a reason for that, being that it is fictional. The invasion into Afghanistan was supposed to be so that they could find Bin Laden and "bring him to justice." Did you know that there has never been any evidence linking Osama Bin Ladin to the attacks of 9/11. Check out the FBI poster on their website, it doesn't even list the atrocities of the 9/11 attacks on the poster as a reason for his bounty. http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/laden.htm

So Osama Bin Laden isn't even linked to the attacks on September 11 and that is the supposed reason for this whole "War On Terror?" Now that's a little confusing to me. It seems that they are spending more time in Iraq than they ever did trying to find Osama Bin Ladin and with good reason, they are not looking for him, they never were. They went into Afghanistan to secure a pipe line through the Caspian Sea so they can extract the great oil reserves out of the middle east. Did you know that 70% of the world's oil supply resides in the middle east? It's true and that's why they went for Afghanistan first, because that's where their boogie man Bin Laden was supposedly hiding (which happens to be where they wanted to install the pipe line, then they went for Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein because he obviously wasn't going to allow the U.S. to march right in a take the oil. Now they are going to go after Iran which so conveniently sits smack dab in the middle between the two countries that the U.S. currently occupies and maintains major military bases in. The reason they need to go after Iran is because they have too much sway in the middle east and the globalists want absolute control over the entire middle east, not to mention that Iran is arch nemesis of Israel and the U.S. is in bed with them doing whatever they ask. The oil is not the only reason for the U.S. occupation of the middle ease, it is only the means by which to obtain global "power" or control. In today's age, oil is power and whoever controls the majority of the oil in the world is king. The U.S. wants that title and they will do anything to get it. 1 000 000 dead people is nothing to the globalists objectives, just look at what Hitler did in the 40's, what did he not kill 25 million people to satiate his yearning for total control of a global empire?

We cannot afford to allow history to repeat itself once again as it appears to be doing. If you think I'm being dramatic here check out these links which talk about the over 600 concentration camps built or being built in the U.S. and a few in Canada:

Now I know a lot of you are thinking, I live in Canada so what does this all have to do with me? Well, it has everything to do with you because the globalists are trying to merge our country with the U.S. and Mexico dissolving the individual sovereignty of all three nations. If you don't believe me watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzOcW2Q-ZvM This initiative is farther along than you might think. They have held three secret meetings with the leaders of our respective countries without public knowledge, participation or vote on these issues. Here is an article and video talking about the planned currency for the 3 countries called the Amero: http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=15017 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3jdQxDC7pA&mode=related&search=

It seems that a few people sometimes sneak through the cracks of the controlled media only to be quited immediately by ridicule such as in the video clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkfzRR1Zzj8 in which the two reporters poke fun at the notion of there being an Amero waiting in the wings. Believe me it's real and if we don't put a stop to it you WILL see this happen and soon. The current plan they have is to create a common border around North America by 2010 which is only 2 1/2 years away. Fortunately Lou Dobbs of CNN has mentioned these things a few times on his show since he has limited control over his programming as was included in his contract for his show Lou Dobbs Tonight. Likely they do everything they can to keep him quite about these issues.

Alright, so I've gone over a lot of different but integrally related issues and I know this is a lot to grasp but please don't let is slip by and out of your focus. Learn about what really happened on 9/11 from multiple sources, don't trust me, do your own research for yourself. The reason I say to learn about 9/11 is because it is the catalyst for a "New American Century." Read this article if your curious about what I mean by the previous statement: http://www.americanfreepress.net/12_24_02/America_Pearl_Harbored/america_pearl_harbored.html

This is not a joke and I'm not being fanatical in sending this to my friends and family. I would like to give you the tools to begin an awakening as I have so we can have a chance of a happy and prosperous future. Even if you do think I'm a little nuts, I hope you can at least take a little bit of your time, maybe watch one or two less sitcoms this week and check out a few of the links I have included in this note to educate yourself on some vitally important issues.

A side note: I would just like to say to my American friends that this is not some attempt to slander the U.S. or it's citizens only to expose the globalist controllers and their covert objectives so we can do something to stop it.

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

It is perfectly possible for a man to be out of prison, and yet not free - to be under no physical constraint and yet to be a psychological captive, compelled to think, feel and act as the representatives of the national state, or of some private interest within the nation, wants him to think, feel and act...The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparently only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective.
