(Yield: 4 servings)


Ingredients:


4 salmon fillets
Salt and pepper, to taste
30 ml vegetable oil
400g black lentils, raw
2 L water
4 sprigs thyme
1 small white onion, finely diced
40 g celery, thinly sliced on the bias
50 ml white wine
1 small bunch scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
4 medium cloves garlic (2 whole, 2 minced)
1 medium shallot, finely diced
16 cherry tomatoes, halved


Preparation:
1. Set the white onion, celery, scallions, garlic and shallot aside.


2. Combine water, lentils, thyme sprigs, 2 whole cloves of garlic, white onion and 2 tsp of salt in a medium pot.


3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer lentils uncovered for approx. 20 min (or until desired tenderness is reached).


4. Heat a large pan and 10 ml vegetable oil on medium-high. Sautee the shallots and minced garlic together.


5. Once slightly cooked and lightly brown, add the white wine and reduce.


6. Strain the lentils, and remove the thyme sprigs and garlic cloves.


7. Add the lentils, tomatoes, celery and scallions to the garlic and shallot mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir, remove from heat and cover.

RE-BUILDING OUR CHRIST AVATAR FORM - Children of the Sun Humanitarian FoundationChildren of the Sun Humanitarian Foundation ~ November 1, 2010RE-BUILDING OUR CHRIST AVATAR FORM* Our Body Elemental, Great Divine Deva* Building from the Human Attention* Giving Assistance to the Body Elemental* The Sacred Fire Brings the Purity of Perfection* Children of the Sun Transformation SupportRE-BUILDING OUR CHRIST AVATAR FORMFocusing with:Our I AM PresenceOur Body ElementalThe Sacred FireOur Body Elemental, that great Divine Deva in charge of our human form, now steps into a leading role in the re-building of our physicality into that of an illumined Christ expression.Responsible for all functions of the four lower energy bodies (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual), the Body Elemental is the master builder and sustainer of our formed expression. It oversees systemic operations and all involuntary functions such as cellular expansion, electrical impulses and the beating of our sacred heart.The Body Elemental's greatest mission is to insure that the physical body can be held as a Temple of the Divine, able to house and radiate pure electronic light substance.The consciousness of the Body Elemental is a directing light intelligence purposed to carry and deliver the electronic patterns of perfection from our I AM Presence.It always out pictures these mighty streams of energy within the form and in accordance with the cooperating human intelligence.The Body Elemental Builds from the Human AttentionDuring previous Golden Ages upon Earth, the Body Elemental, together with the guiding will of its human master, lived in complete harmonious cooperation. This manifested reflection was an indescribable beauty and elegance embraced through a most sacred synergistic communion.As a result of our fall from Grace and the ensuing downward spiral of human consciousness, the original patterns of perfection became quite distorted.The misqualification of Divine Intent caused much confusion within the consciousness of the Body Elemental because it always builds according to the free will of its directing authority...this authority being the human and its focus of willful attention.In great obedience, the Body Elemental was obligated to build distortions into the physical flesh garment resulting in severe opposing patterns such as dis-ease, aging and death. The relationship between the Body Elemental and Human has been in a state of great dissonance and painful separation for much too long. (We all know the story.)Our Assistance to the Body ElementalAs a result of our great awakening and through the tremendous Divine Intervention now with us, the Body Elemental is also lighting up with much renewed vigor. It has been re-trained, so to speak, to focus in union with the I AM Presence to copy and out picture the new Divine-Human Blueprint within our transfiguring forms.It is busy building the new electrons of light substance to accelerate processes of light body activation and installation of the new crystalline configurations.With exact precision, this Divine Deva knows every detail to our atomic structure, where it has been and where it is now to evolve. It also knows where the trauma, the memories and the distortions that may still be held in the smallest of crevices.We, as the authority of our Body Temple, are being called upon to remember how very influential our assistance can be to our Body Elemental, this living entity who is directly carrying out this enormous task of body redevelopment.Let's pause and give a great outpouring of love, adoration and gratitude to this majestic being. In the spirit of "Ho'oponopono", may we call on the Law of Forgiveness for anything that we may have unconsciously done in this life and all other embodiments to severe the synergistic cooperation with our Body Elemental and all of its devic helpers.Through intimacy of daily contact, may we develop an affinity so deeply bonded, that we can hear from our own body intelligence what exact changes we need to make in order to reconstruct our blueprint of magnificence. This may come in the form of certain supplementation, dietary changes, life alterations, purification practices and abstinence from ingested substances and other toxic exposures.Indeed, our Body Elemental has a lot to share in these accelerating times.The Sacred Fire Produces Instantaneous PurificationThe very substance of our new Christ Blueprint is drawn in and woven from our etheric body template. Therefore, the Body Elemental must first wait for the purification of the etheric envelop before "downloading" the upgraded patterns into a purified and prepared physical body matrix.This is why so much attention is being place upon the Sacred Fire as a way to accelerate the deeper purifications, on all levels and layers of our multi-faceted being. For example, when our own etheric body has been constantly held in the Sacred Fire of the Violet Flame, it can more readily take on the light pattern of the Christ expression from the I AM Presence. The Body Elemental can then more quickly out picture this in the physical flesh.When we make our calls to the Sacred Fire, we need to include our entire energetic hologram and field of energy...not just the physical aspect.As an important reminder... if we are continuing to abuse our four lower bodies through wrong foods, bad habits, disharmonious thoughts and feelings, the activities of the Body Elemental are severely compromised in its mission to build the new Christ Temple. If we are serious about this ascension process, it seems astute that we abide by the laws of purity and abstain from those activities which break down the structure of the physical form.CALLS TO THE SACRED FIRE... to help Rebuild our Christ Avatar Blueprint of PerfectionThe Flame of the Immaculate Concept Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel Visualize the luminous Presence of Mother Mary and Archangel Gabriel who are the keepers of the Flame of the Immaculate Concept and the Sacred Fire activity of our Divine Blueprint.Invoke their Sacred Fire Love to envelop and sustain your entire energetic signature within the electronic patterns of perfection of your new Christ form. Ask for their assistance in holding the perfect vision for your self... "made in the image and likeness of God"... this same vision that they held for Jesus/Yeshua during his initiatory years on his own Path of Becoming.The Violet Consuming Flame Saint Germain and his Legions of AngelsWhile resting your attention upon your I AM Presence and Body Elemental and with full feeling,... invoke Saint Germain, the Violet Flame and its legions of fiery angels to dissolve and consume all impurities and discordant patterns in your physical body, etheric body and entire energetic hologram.Ask for complete transmutation of the core cause, effect, record and memory of all misqualified electronic patterns still held in your energy signature...and for these energies to return to theiroriginal Source of Love.This will give the Body Elemental a clean slate from which to rebuild the patterns of perfection within your physical form.The Ascended Masters highly recommend that we now place these calls to the great Violet Flame, for 15 minutes, two times each day!

Matthew Ward: The Truth about 9/11

Matthew Ward: The Truth about 9/11
September 11, 2010
by Steve Beckow

Matthew at age 17, the time of his transition


Over the years, Matthew Ward has kept us informed of what actually happened on 9/11, what the purpose of 9/11 was, who was responsible for planning and executing it, where their funding came from, what the likelihood of their success will be, and other matters which few other sources can tell us about with authority. Let’s review some of what he has said about 9/11.


Let’s begin then with Matthew’s recitation of what he says actually occurred on Sept. 11, 2oo1.


“I shall mention some of the facts of 9/11 that we in these stations of light know as truth and that can be verified by those among you who are considered experts in their fields.


“The planes were remotely controlled by measures designed to override any manual maneuvers by pilots. The towers were designed to withstand the force of the largest planes hitting them directly.

The towers collapsed due to controlled demolition measures, by explosives strategically located and detonated in timely rhythm; witnesses reported hearing explosions prior to the buildings falling.

“Both the Pentagon and the plane that crashed in the field were hit by scalar beam weaponry.

Regarding the Pentagon, the beams were aimed at the section where a communications group had been recently relocated.


“Results of a major airliner hitting that building at top speed would have penetrated more deeply and devastated more broadly than photos of the destruction showed; further, no one saw any plane approaching that building and there was no way a plane could have struck as the damage showed without being seen at near ground level.” (1)

In September of 2008, he revealed what the deeper purpose of 9/11 was and predicted that, when it became publicly known, the Illuminati would fall:


“The truth about who planned and executed ’9/11′ …. in the higher vibrations in which Earth is now orbiting, … cannot be hidden much longer; when it emerges along with its even deeper purpose than controlling oil resources in the Mideast, which is to dominate the entire planet and kill or enslave its peoples, the Illuminati’s long reign of terror will meet its just end.” (2)


Matthew has identified the lead alphabet agency within the American government mainly responsible for black operations like 9/11: “The major terrorist acts, such as the bombing of the trains in Spain, are planned and executed by the so-called ‘Black Ops’ faction of the CIA.” (3) Moreover, he informs us that the drug trade funds operations like 9/11, HAARP, Area 51, etc.


“The enormously profitable illegal drug industry funds both factions’ ‘black ops,’ including terrorist activities blamed on innocents and vast underground areas where their scientists conduct unconscionable experiments on humankind and develop spacecraft, weaponry, surveillance and weather control systems using technology introduced by the ‘Little Grays.’” (4)


In 2004, as well, he revealed that the galactics have in place a plan to confiscate those funds.


“ET technology will be directed at electronic issues wherein money movement will not go the way the dark forces intend and undetectable glitches in their communication efforts will create confusion and errors. I am not speaking ‘out of school’ here as the dark forces are aware that this has started happening and they cannot locate the origins or detect and correct the flaws. This adds to their fear that they are losing control and their activities will become even more clumsy and obvious until all is ‘brought to light.’” (5)

In mid-September of 2008, he revealed that the Illuminati had allies among a mysterious group, which he does not describe in detail. We do not know if they are galactic or spirit in nature. Were they the Anunnaki? Luciferian spirits? “Relative to dark thought forms, those of antiquity were attracted by those in the planning of ’9/11,’ and the force of that combined energy enabled the Illuminati to manifest that tragic day.” (6)


In May of 2004, he told us that “while we cannot assure you that never will any terrorist acts be successful, we absolutely can assure that none on the scale of 9/11, as currently being speculated, will happen.” (7) In September of 2008, he revealed why: after 9/11 Gaia had asked God not to allow a repetition of a black operation on that scale.


“[9/11] is when Earth chose never again to experience such death and destruction at the hands of dark ones, and in honoring her free will choice, God authorized off-planet helpers to use their technology to prevent all such unconscionable attempts anywhere in the world. Since then they have done so successfully on as many as a dozen occasions.” (8)


Even by the end of 2003, many attempts at a second 9/11 had been foiled by the galactics.


“Many attempts rivaling ’9/11′ that have been undertaken have failed due to the vigilance and technological capabilities of these on- and off-planet beings. This is not interference in your affairs or a denial of the free will of the dark minds, it is in response to the massive free will desire for freedom from terrorist activity that these beings are acting.” (9)


In December of 2004, he revealed that more than twelve second 9/11s had by then been prevented.

“By honoring Earth’s free will to never again experience any terrorist activity like ’9/11,’ God has authorized extraterrestrial intervention to prevent all such attempts and they have successfully done so more than a dozen times since September 11, 2001, including the neutralizing of manmade viruses that were intended to create pandemics.” (10)


Matthew said that the black operatives intended to attack stadiums and malls.


“If people on Earth knew just how much destruction in life and property has been attempted and thwarted, they would reel at the extent to which the dark forces go to retain their control and marvel at the vigilance and capabilities of the extraterrestrial light forces in preventing it.


“When your major media are instructed to send out the colored alerts and specifically mention ‘soft targets’ like sporting events, concerts and shopping malls where a mass of people will be congregating, you can know that terrorism does NOT occur on that scale because the attempts have been prevented. I am not tracking these occasions so I can’t give you an accurate count of these ET interventions—PREventions—but Nirvana’s [i.e., the spirit planes'] monitors of Earth could do so.” (11)


He said this was no arbitrary intervention but a response to growing gaian (terrestrial) desire not to have a repetition of 9/11:


“This is not arbitrary interference by the ETs nor is it a denial of the free will of those who participate in the terrorist plans and attempts; it is the collective feelings of Earth’s population for NO terrorism that is the invitation to the ETs to act.” (12)


Sometimes terrorist alerts themselves were enough to scare the population sufficiently and no actual black operation beyond that was required.


“The ones who give the signal for the higher alerts to be announced are the same ones who do the terrorizing. If the alert alone causes widespread fear, the dark forces don’t need the act itself to generate the negativity they desire and that fear produces. But they can’t pull that off too often or the alerts would become ho-hum. It is when public complacency starts to set in after an alert or two are baseless that our space kin become evermore wary.” (13)


In this message as well, he revealed that the galactics had been outwitted in the case of the Madrid bombings, which they were unable to prevent.


“For those who did not see my comments on the train bombings in Spain, I’d like to mention that it was the cleverness of the dark minds that allowed that effort to be successful.


“The darkness outwitted the light on that occasion and while it was a great sorrow for us and more so for those who believed the false location information regarding the detonators, scrutiny was further tightened after that tragedy that was to have been prevented. And as usual, those who are blamed are not the ones responsible.” (14)


In May of 2004, he explained that “the light forces who have been counteracting major efforts were duped by false information from an Illuminati ‘mole’ and thus were not in position to thwart that tragedy.” (15) He expanded on this account in June of that year.


“The aid of civilizations far advanced of you spiritually, intellectually and technologically has been and will continue to be at the ready to prevent the direst of the predictions, from major explosions to nuclear war. Although monitoring has been diligent, false information by one of the dark forces misguided the Earth teams so that prevention of the train bombings in Spain was thwarted, and since that time, scrutiny has been tightened both on the surface and beyond the planet.


“Additional ETs with extraordinary powers of both perception and self-protection have taken form on the planet, surveillance teams in spacecraft have increased their vigilant missions, and the reporting systems between them and their colleagues on Earth have been expanded. And not least, people formerly convinced that they were being truthfully informed now are realizing that they were supporting the dark side, and they have joined the ranks of the active lightworkers.” (16)
Matthew said at the end of July 2008, that the Illuminati’s structure was weakening and they were no longer able to mount an effort large enough to create another 9/11, even if it were allowed.


“In recent years the intense competition between the two factions, which eroded the power of each, extended to infighting within each faction, thus further weakening all areas of control. With growing distrust of each other within and between the factions, numerous futile attempts to stage another ’9/11,’ the loosening stranglehold on world economy, and defection of lower ranking members, the once solidly entrenched global foundation of the Illuminati now can be likened to scattered piles of rubble.” (17)


By the end of August in 2008, many servants of the illuminati were jumping ship. Matthew felt that the truth could not be suppressed much longer, but he may have been too optimistic.


“More and more souls are ‘seeing the light’ and making U-turns from their dark tendencies, including deserters from the ranks of the Illuminati. Earth’s ascension course, like everything else, is being accelerated, and storms, flooding, fires and earthquakes will continue to relieve negativity’s pressure on the planet. You will see more honest reporting as media controllers’ hold becomes increasingly tenuous; the lid that has been kept on the truth about ’9/11′ cannot remain securely in place a lot longer.” (18)


In April of 2009, Matthew laid out the strategy behind the release of pandemic viruses, which included distracting attention from attempts to uncover 9/11:


“In addition to authorizing the creation of a virus and its intended worldwide fear, the darkly-inclined individuals’ aim is to distract the attention of the populace from their growing demands for peaceful negotiations; indicting responsible ones in the US government who authorized torture; the truth about the perpetrators of `9/11′; what caused the collapse of the global economy; the decades of government cover-up about the presence of extraterrestrials; who operates the illegal drug industry; the real purpose of chemtrails and weather control; the aims of the worldwide Zionist movement; and the `black ops’ behind terrorism around your world. (19)


In July of 2008, Matthew explained that the Illuminati do not want us seeking the truth.


“The Illuminati do NOT want you to think about these matters! The more you think, the more you question and seek the truth; and their intention to control all people through ignorance and deceit unravels more and more. That their former media control has become badly cracked is a devastating blow to the Illuminati and more evidence that the light is being victorious!” (20)
At the end of August in 2008, he again said that the truth could not be suppressed much longer:

“The lid that has been kept on the truth about ’9/11′ cannot remain securely in place a lot longer.” (21) But by Sept. 11, 2010, today’s date, that truth had not yet broken through the Illuminati’s barriers in full force. He put the suppression of truth in historical perspective.


“Truth is not yet surging into your mainstream information outlets, but it is seeping ever more strongly now that the finger is out of the dike, so to say. With this media barrier seriously compromised, the dark ones cannot much longer hide the massive deception that in this moment is only barely exposed to the public, much as the tip of an iceberg is visible while the immense part with potentially lethal destructive power lies out of view.


“There have been attempts to stifle the truth since the dawn of communication on Gaia-Terra-Shan-Earth, and the attempts were successful when darkly-inclined ones controlled the dissemination of information. In modern times, they expected to broaden their web of control with the Internet, but instead, it became their undoing.


“Now factual evidence that until recently was mainly restricted to that source is reaching the public through the perseverance of courageous investigative journalists, other reporters, eyewitnesses and individuals disclosing personal experiences. Not only is there increasing exposure of lies and corruption, but also innovative ways people are adapting to the economic situation are being publicized. The tearing down of mind control via the media has come about because of the ever-intensifying light.” (22)


Apparently Gaia’s desire to be rid of negativity like 9/11 influenced the election of a spiritual figure like President Obama, probbaly by the Law of Attraction:


“Earth, a sentient soul, cried out in her death throes sixty-some years ago for other civilizations’ help to save her planetary body; she chose to have no more terrorism like ’9/11′; she has been ridding herself of negativity so she can rise to vibratory levels where her original health and vibrancy will be restored and the higher consciousness of her humankind will glory in spiritual renewal. The energetic force that has been propelling her ascension out of third density’s darkness has been leading naturally to a spiritually-evolved visionary as president of what you consider your world’s most powerful nation.” (23)

Matthew has thus informed us that the “Black Ops” section of the CIA is planning the so-called terrorist attacks, which historically they funded through their profits from control of the international drug trade. He’s told us that the galactics can prevent all future attacks on the scale of 9/11 but not necessarily smaller terrorist attacks like suicide bombings.


He tells us that the Illuminati structure is weakening and falling apart and that the truth of 9/11 and other similar black operations will eventually emerge. We see how long it has taken for the truth to begin emerging about 9/11. At some near future date, the dam will burst and the truth of 9/11 and all other heinous activities will emerge, bringing about the downfall of the Illuminati.

Posted by Georgeta MunteanuAttracting ProsperityWorking with magic we have to learn to tap into the natural resources that reside within each of us, the planet is humming with energy, and there is no need for any man, woman or child to live an impoverished life, I believe that as individuals we can change our circumstances at any interval, changing one's circumstance is as easy as changing one's mind, flip the switch, and the light goes on, flip it again and the light goes off, so it goes without saying, that if you really open your eyes and take a look around, you will see the enormous potential to live a life enriched with silver and gold.Prosperity flows to us through many different avenues, one may prosper emotionally in relationships, while another may prosper in material goods. It is up to each of us to decide how we will prosper in this lifetime, each of us must develop a plan of action and implement it, here is a very good example, you decide to open your energy up to the idea of becoming wealthy, or at least marginally increasing your wealth, you outline your plan by writing it down, when you put words down on paper you breathe life into them, the very words that I write here today are a living part of my energy, I am connected to the message, the content is born of my will and I am responsible for the energy that is omitted, the written and spoken word is very powerful, as you write or speak you thereby project your will unto the universe, the words are the catalyst and your will the magnet, as you do, so does your will, so, if you live life carefree, you will live a life that is a lot less stressful, but, if you live life always expecting the worse possible outcome, you will always manifest a mess for yourself to cleanup, and you will always be hindered, and you will never reach your golden potential.Getting back to what I was saying earlier, developing a plan is useless unless you really implement it, outlining your goals by putting words down on paper will get the energy flowing, but it is not enough to manifest the fortune of your desire, remember that every action has a reaction, if you do not act, there is nothing for the universe to react too, writing this article brings back the memory of a client that I met a few years back, he complained always of his inability to attract money, he had been stuck in a dead-end job for five years that paid barely above minimum wage, in the process of talking to him I asked him besides going to work what else are you doing to get a better job or to attract money? He replied nothing, I just don't feel lucky, and then I asked him why don't you feel lucky? And he replied because the few times that I bought a lottery ticket I gained nothing, I played the scratch offs a few times, and nothing happened.Well, here is what I had to say to him, you cannot seriously believe that the powers that be would just immediately hand you the winning ticket, and it is rare to be walking down the street and a sack full of money just falls from the sky and lands at your feet, I believe that each of us must pay our dues and build our luck, now, this doesn't mean spending every last dime to play the lottery, after all it only takes one ticket, but, that ticket is not going to find its way to someone with an I can't attitude, nor, is it going to grace you with its presence if you lack a plan. My client above will in no doubt die a broken man, and it is really sad when you think about it, he spends all his energy feeling sorry for himself, clinging to desperation, when what he should be doing is searching for and embracing the solution, I think this happens with a lot of people, instead of searching for the fix, they spend all their time feeling badly because aspects of their lives are broken, and focusing on the broken aspects of our lives are not the answer, instead acknowledge the aspects that need to be fixed, and then spend that valuable energy in finding ways to attract the solution to yourself, like attracts like, what is broken, will crumble and fallout from beneath you like a bad foundation that a million dollar mansion was built on, but, repairing that foundation will only prove to make things better and your positive energy stronger, be strong in mind and pure in heart, for a strong mind and a pure heart makes for one hell of a strong magnet pulling and pulling your desires into manifestation!There are steps that we must take to get our prosperity energy flowing, first we must realize that winning the lottery is possible, hitting the jackpot at the casino is possible, snagging a jackpot at bingo is possible, experiencing a life changing event is possible, in fact all the above scenarios are possible, we are only limited by our own attitudes, and this is in all aspects of our lives and not just where prosperity is concerned, but, we can prosper in all areas, emotionally, we can attract a wealth of love, mentally, we can attract a wealth of knowledge, which by the way can lead to winning big in life, physically, we can attract a wealth of hot sex, great health, and a fabulous body, money is also a material manifestation, but, before we can manifest anything we have to first decide what we want, need and desire, and then we have to implement a way of materializing it, desire is fine, desire is simply not enough, desire it, energize it, live it, breathe it, sleep with it, become one with it, close your eyes and look inwardly with your minds eye, can you see it? Oh, come on now, your not blind, and even if you were sightless, your inner eye is never blinded, your inner voice is never silent, except when you ask it to be, you are already wealthy, look within and unlock the knowledge, and once you unlock that vault pull those tools from their crypt and use them!I know that most of my clients are gamblers, people who dabble in magic are notorious for playing their games of chance, but, just because you play the lottery doesn't mean that you will win, and even if you win, how long do you think that money will last, without a plan? I am currently working with a client who has some very specific and realistic goals, when she asked me to work with her on her prosperity I told her that I needed a list of goals, I instructed her to tell me what she would do with the money that she wins from playing the lottery, and the first list that she provided me lacked luster, so, I rejected it, and I ask her to rewrite her list and send it to me again, and so she did, now for her privacy I am going to call her Marie.Marie has incurred about 30 thousand dollars in credit card debt, all her accounts have been closed and she has a repossession against her and her house was foreclosed on, the great thing about Marie is that instead of focusing on all the debt that she absolutely could not even start to make a dent in, she acknowledged that she owes the money and she pledged to the universe her intent to repay her creditors, she devised a plan in which she will play the lottery, other games of chance, such as the slots, scratch offs and to keep herself afloat she has taken a second job, all which are very positive things, now, I do not go around advocating that anyone should play games of chance, that is a personal decision, but, I will say this, if you are going to gamble, approach the game with an open mind and a winning attitude and do not use the money that you would otherwise pay your bills with, remember that it only takes one ticket to win, a dollar investment could change your life forever, now, back to Marie.The second list that Marie submitted to me was exactly what I was looking for, and I could tell that she had really given some thought to her desires and that she had not simply submitted a random list of I wants to me, for her list contained emotion, her list contained motion, motion is the act of doing, emotion is the need, the words that she wrote sizzled on the screen, and her list was nothing more than any red blooded being could expect or want out of life. The first thing that she outlined was her commitment to payoff her creditors, secondly she wanted a new car, nothing fancy, as long as it was new and paid for and finally she wanted to purchase a condo for herself and pay cash for it so that she would always have a place to call home, Marie is single, no kids and she has never been married, she was the only child whose parents died when she was young, the last thing that she wrote to me was her desire to leave her money, car, belongings and condo to someone less fortunate on her passing, a selfless act of love and kindness, and I am sure that she scored a few very positive karmic points with the Gods, now, Marie is still a young and vibrant woman, fortyish or so, so I expect that unless there is a plan that I am unaware of she will be around for a very longtime to come.The only thing that I disagreed with Marie on was the fact that she limited herself by capping the amount of her winnings, for she estimated that she would need about 250 thousand dollars, and of course, the man would get his share and she would have whatever is left after the greed of bureaucracy violated her winnings. Like I told Marie it is okay to have an estimate in mind for what you expect to pay for your items at large, but, Marie limited the flow of prosperity by naming a certain number, and like I told her why settle for 250 thousand dollars, when the universe may try to gift you with millions and millions, to date Marie and I have worked together for about a year, and while she has yet to win the big jackpot, she has laid claim to some sizable pools of money, she has already paid off her credit card debt, and since I explained to her that when we use credit cards that we are actually borrowing from our future prosperity energy, she has made the decision to snip and clip the cards, life is better lived in the now, and if we pay our way today the cost of living only gets better!Marie defined her need, she then devised a plan of action, she carried out her plan by playing her chosen games of chance, and she followed through by paying off her debt to her creditors, in fact she has become so good at drawing prosperity to herself that she was able to give up her second job about three months after she and I started working together, the universe will rarely bless those individuals who create negative karma for themselves by incurring bad debt and then asking for success and luck all the while ignoring the fact that they owe money to those individuals or institutions that entrusted them to live up to their obligations and to pay their debts, Marie and I have worked on many magical endeavors together, it took a great deal of cleansing and a good bit of spell casting to create a positive flow of energy for her, but, spell casting and energy cleansing alone would not have worked, it was the entire combination of energy that was put forth that allowed for her financial return.Marie has not limited herself to playing the lottery alone, she lives in Alabama and she visits a casino that is about 20 minutes from her home, there she bets on the dogs, which as a dog lover I am really not for, but, hey to each their own, she plays bingo there and she plays a variety of slot machines, she sets aside a hundred dollars a week to gamble on, and in the process she has managed to create a way in which a second income flows through to her, being the nosey witch that I am I asked Marie about how much she averages during a weekend, she said that it varies, but usually somewhere between 600 hundred and a 1000 dollars, not too shabby for a woman who was one paycheck away from being homeless, but, nothing and I mean absolutely nothing would have worked out for Marie if she had continued approaching her life with an, I can't attitude! I am very happy that Marie has managed to create a second income for herself, she is finally doing something that she loves and it shows, you may as well say that Marie has developed a part-time weekend business for herself, and from what she told me in our last conversation she plans to take it fulltime very soon, and with that she has my blessing!There are many different ways that one can manifest prosperity, starting a business, working hard at a job that offers a potential of a greater return on down the line, but, whatever road we choose to travel we have to keep moving, and we cannot allow ourselves to become discouraged, I am a firm believer that what we project is what we attract, if we develop our minds and we discipline ourselves to live life as we desire, the life that we desire will embrace us, the life that we desire will flow forth from the land of ideas where our dreams reside and manifest into our physical realities, there is no harm in dreaming, providing that our dreams are realistic and that we avoid the bubble of pipe dreams and that we are willing to work hard to bring that in which we dream of into reality!Dream big and live large, for a life that is lived to the fullest, is a life lived well!Prosperity And Abundance!Blessed bethe author: Phelan

This could mean ancient woodlands are chopped down and destroyed. Walkers and endangered animals, like red squirrels and owls, would have to make way for Center Parcs-style holiday villages, golf courses, and logging companies. [1]We need to stop these plans.

That means we have time to stop them. If we build a huge petition, we will prove that the public doesn’t want precious woodland to be flogged off. That will make MPs think twice about voting for it.When we work together, we can stop the government from forcing through these kind of bad plans.

Along the Thread of our Inner Sincerity


Along the Thread of our Inner Sincerity
by Adyashanti


Sincerity is a word that I often use in teaching to convey the importance of being rooted in the qualities of honesty, authenticity, and genuineness. There can be nothing phony or contrived in our motivations if we are to fully awaken to our natural and integral state of unified awareness. While teachings and teachers can point us inward to “the peace beyond all understanding,” it is always along the thread of our inner sincerity, or lack thereof, that we will travel. For the ego is clever and artful in the ways of deception, and only the honesty and genuineness of our ineffable being are beyond its influence. At each step and with each breath we are given the option of acting and responding, both inwardly and outwardly, from the conditioning of egoic consciousness which values control and separation above all else, or from the intuitive awareness of unity which resides in the inner silence of our being.


Without sincerity it is so very easy for even the greatest spiritual teachings to become little more than playthings of the mind. In our fast-moving world of quick fixes, big promises, and short attention spans, it is easy to remain on a very surface level of consciousness without even knowing it. While the awakened state is ever present and closer than your feet, hands, or eyes, it cannot be approached in a casual or insincere fashion. There is a reason that seekers the world over are instructed to remove their shoes and quiet their voices before entering into sacred spaces. The message being conveyed is that one’s ego must be “taken off and quieted” before access to the divine is granted. All of our ego’s attempts to control, demand, and plead with reality have no influence on it other than to make life more conflicted and difficult. But an open mind and sincere heart have the power to grant us access to realizing what has always been present all along.

[...] When you are earnest, you are both sincere and one-pointed; to be one-pointed means to keep your attention on one thing. I have found that the most challenging thing for most spiritual seekers to do is to stay focused on one thing for very long. The mind jumps around with its concerns and questions from moment to moment. Rarely does it stay with one question long enough to penetrate it deeply.

Crab vending machines for Chinese commuters

Crab vending machines for Chinese commuters

Commuters in China who are too busy to keep supermarket opening hours are being offered a nutritious alternative to the diet of crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks usually dispensed from train station vending machines – live crabs.


The automatic crab dispensers have been installed at several underground stations in Nanjing, the capital of the southeastern province of Jiangsu, by an enterprising local company hoping to capitalise on the increasingly hectic lifestyles of urban Chinese.

The 'Dazha' hairy crabs, which are a popular regional delicacy along the Yangtze River delta cities of Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shanghai, are sold in three sizes – large, medium or small – and range in prices from £1.50 to £5.00.

The crabs are packed into custom-fitted plastic boxes and chilled to 41F (5C) which is enough to sedate them but also keep them alive. A sign next to the machine offers three free crabs for anyone who is unlucky enough to get a dead one, the local 'Guangzhou Daily' newspaper reported.

"The customers were a bit sceptical at first as they were worried if the crabs were alive or not," Wu Zhendi, general manager of the Twin Lake Crab Co. told The Telegraph, "but now they see they are alive, they keep coming back. We are selling hundreds each day, and more at weekends."

The company, which claim on its website to supply crabs to dignitaries staying at China's Diaoyutai State Guesthouse outside Beijing, said it was now planning to expand the trials, possibly even as far as Japan where vending machines are used to sell everything from eggs to ice and umbrellas.

10 things to know about the world's first car

10 things to know about the world's first car


When Karl Benz built the first Patent-Motorwagen in 1885 (it was patented in 1886) he probably didn't realise quite the extent to which it would transform the world. So without further ado, here are ten things you might not have known about the progenitor of motoring.


It wasn't the first attempt at an automobile


Inventors were trying to put a 'car' on the road as early as the 18th century. However, all were attempts to automate the horse-drawn carriage, and were largely useless; the Patent-Motorwagen was the first automobile designed from the ground up to be powered by an internal combustion engine.


An American nearly got there first


American inventor George Selden was working on a horseless carriage at about the same time as Benz, filing a patent in 1879. Unfortunately it wasn't until 1895 that his patent for a 'safe, simple, and cheap road-locomotive light in weight, easy to control and possessed of sufficient power to overcome any ordinary inclination' was approved.


It took at least 12 years to develop


By 1873 Benz had developed a working two-stroke engine, and thereafter set about creating a useable carriage to put it in. The Patent-Motorwagen was complete by 1885 and officially unveiled to the public in Mannheim, Germany, on 3 July 1886.


It had a 0.9bhp engine


It was claimed that the first Motorwagen developed a heady 0.66bhp from its single-cylinder gas-powered engine. A later test showed that to be a conservative power figure, however - it actually had a mighty 0.9bhp. Let's put that into perspective: one of the cars on sale in the UK with the lowest power outputs today is the cdi version of the Smart Fortwo, with 54bhp, or 5,900 percent more than the Motorwagen!


The original prototype crashed

Difficult to control using a lever linked to the central front wheel, the 1885 prototype was crashed into a wall during a public demonstration. Fortunately camera phones hadn't been invented yet, so there was no hilarious footage to upload to YouTube.


It was rear-wheel drive


Drifting wasn't too easy with a horse and carriage, but the Patent-Motorwagen was the keen power slider's dream. Its engine powered the rear wheels via two chains linked to the back axle, good for some serious sideways action. Its tyres were solid rubber.


Karl Benz's wife stole one and went for a joyride


The story goes that Benz's wife, Bertha, took Motorwagen number three for a lengthy drive in August 1888 without his permission. With her two sons she drove the car 50-60 miles to her mother's house then returned three days later. The Bertha Benz memorial route between Frankfurt and Baden-Baden celebrates that historic journey.


Early versions couldn't climb hills


It was only after Bertha's trip that a second gear was added to the car, at her request; like an Austin Allegro, early versions couldn't handle even the mildest of inclines.


The first customers had to buy fuel from pharmacies


Of course, there was no network of fuel pumps in place when the Motorwagen first hit the cobblestones. Buyers had to fill up with small bottles of gasoline, at the time a substance used as cleaning fluid and available only from chemists.


Around 25 were sold

In a five-year period between 1888 and 1893, Benz sold 25 Patent-Motorwagens to wealthy pioneers. In 1893 the three-wheeler was replaced by an updated version with four wheels - the luxurious Benz Velo.

7 Reasons to Love Pomegranates (and Juice)


7 Reasons to Love Pomegranates (and Juice)
posted by Michelle Schoffro Cook


Pomegranates. These delicious fruits offer more than just incredible taste, they are anti-aging and anti-cancer powerhouses. Here are 7 reasons to add pomegranates or pomegranate juice to your diet.


1. They are anti-cancer powerhouses. Studies show protection again breast and lung cancers and a slowing of prostate cancer progression.


2. They protect your DNA. Compounds in pomegranates also appear to interact with the body’s genetic material for protection.


3. They reduce the effects of aging. Pomegran¬ates are packed with the antioxidant vitamin C—antioxidants help counter free radicals linked to aging and disease.


4. Pomegranates also contain the healing phytonutrients polyphenols and ellagic acid.


5. Pomegranate has been shown to be beneficial for osteoarthritis.


6. Pomegranate may help protect against heart disease by preventing plaque build-up. Pomegranate also lowers LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) and raises HDL cholesterol (the good one). In people with high blood pressure, research shows that drinking only 1.7 ounces of pomegranate juice per day lowered systolic blood pressure by 5%.


7. It may prevent or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. In one study, mice that were bred to develop Alzheimer’s disease accumulated significantly less amyloid plaque and performed better on mental tasks than control mice.


Here are some simple ways to enjoy pomegranates and pomegranate juice:


• You can eat them fresh or drink unsweetened bottled pomegranate juice. For the latter, I recommend diluting 1 part water to 1 part pomegranate juice to avoid blood sugar spikes and crashes that can happen with any juice.


• Mix 1 part pomegranate juice with 1 part sparkling water for an incredible spritzer.


• I sometimes use a splash of pomegranate juice in my salad dressing for incredible anti-aging benefits and to jazz up a plate of greens.


• I also throw a handful of pomegranate berries on top of a salad for an extra kick.

Combat jet lag
The day before you fly, eat high-protein meals (meat/fish/pulses) for breakfast and lunch, and a carbohydrate meal (pasta/rice) for dinner. The protein in these meals stimulates the body to produce catecholamines, which mirror the body's naturally 'awake' daytime state.

Relieve acid build-up
Chew thoroughly on a celery stick.

Soothe bites and stings
Smooth on tomato juice.

Minimise swelling
Add 1 tsp cayenne pepper to a cup of apple cider vinegar and simmer for 15 mins. Cool to hand-hot. Soak a cloth in the vinegar, wring out the excess and hold the compress on the affected area.

Lessen snoring
A couple of sips of olive oil before bed coats the inside of the mouth.

6 Herbs for the Mind

6 Herbs for the Mind
posted by Michelle Schoffro Cook

When it comes to brain health and mental acuity, few people think of herbs. While Mother Nature’s herbal medicines humbly lay upon the earth in her rainforests, wilderness, and jungles devoid of any slick advertising campaigns, they show tremendous promise in the prevention of brain disease and in maintaining great brain health.


Remember: herbs are potent medicine so it is important to consult with your doctor before you start taking any herbs to prevent drug-herb interactions.


1. A Wise Sage


More than just seasoning for stuffing a turkey, recent research shows that sage is great brain food. A British research team conducted a study of sage’s therapeutic properties on a group of forty-four adults between the ages of eighteen and thirty-seven. Some participants were given capsules of sage oil while others were given a placebo of sunflower oil. Results showed that those who took the sage oil performed significantly better at memory tests than those who took the placebo. The people who were given sage as part of the study had improvements in both immediate and delayed word recall scores, as well as mood improvements. Additional research by the same scientific team led them to conclude that sage may also be helpful for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Fresh sage is an excellent addition to soups, stews, and chicken dishes.


2. The Curry Factor


Here’s another reason to enjoy your favorite Indian curry dishes: they typically contain the spice turmeric, a powerful food that helps protect your brain from disease. Research conducted by Greg Cole, PhD, associate director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at the University of California in Los Angeles, showed that, curcumin, the yellow pigment in turmeric, is a potent weapon against inflammation and plaque build up in the brain. Inflammation and plaque have been linked to serious brain diseases like Alzheimer’s. Additional studies are having similar positive results. The easiest way to enjoy the benefits of curcumin is by adding turmeric to your favorite curry dish.

3. Ginger—Nature’s Anti-Inflammatory


Not just great in stir-fries, ginger is one herb that can do more than add flavor and spice to just about any dish, it also exhibits antioxidant effects and the ability to lessen the formation of inflammation in the brain. Ginger contains potent anti-inflammatory compounds called “gingerols” that are responsible for the herb’s magic. A study in the November 2003 issue of Life Sciences found that ginger offers protection against free radicals, which have the potential to be a serious threat to brain health.


The easiest way to enjoy the benefits of ginger is to grate 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger and add to a cup of boiling water. Steep and strain. Enjoy a cup of this warming ginger tea with a touch of honey or a few drops of the naturally-sweet herb, stevia. You can also add freshly grated ginger to soups, stir-fries, vegetables, or other dishes to pack extra brain health into your meals.


4. Ginkgo Biloba to Boost Brain Power


Ginkgo biloba has developed a reputation as the brain herb thanks to its many beneficial effects on the brain, including: increasing blood flow to the brain, assisting with memory and in the treatment of dementia, as well as positive effects on depression. Ginkgo also helps improve the availability of energy to brain cells, which may improve feelings of mental alertness.


In Germany, ginkgo is approved as a treatment for Alzheimer’s. A study of forty patients with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, showed that 240 milligrams of ginkgo biloba extract taken daily for three months produced noticeable improvements in memory, mood, and attention. Since then numerous other studies have shown similar positive effects on early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.


Opt for ginkgo biloba standardized extract that contains twenty-four percent ginkgoflavonglycosides, also called “flavone glycosides,” the active ingredient which has the capacity to increase blood flow to the brain and lessen symptoms like depression, memory loss, and dizziness, all of which can be the result of reduced blood flow to the brain. For ginkgo’s preventive effects, forty milligrams three times a day is ideal.


5. Periwinkle: The Blue Flower for Grey Matter


Not just for English gardens anymore, the lovely blue flowering plant, periwinkle may help boost memory. Research shows that vinpocetine, a natural compound in periwinkle, helps transport oxygen and glucose to the brain. Since the brain needs both to function optimally, periwinkle may be beneficial for assisting to ease brain disease.


With around one hundred studies conducted on vinpocetine’s effects on humans, mostly in Hungary, it is not surprising that it has been used by Hungarian doctors to treat senility and blood vessel disorders in the brain for twenty-five years. In these studies it appears to boost memory and cognition in healthy people and in those with mild to moderate forms of dementia.


A double-blind study in 1985 in the European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, researchers tested vinpocetine’s effect on the short-term memory of twelve healthy women. The women who took forty milligrams of vinpocetine three times per day for two days scored thirty percent higher on short-term memory tests than the women in the placebo group.


Vinpocetine also thins blood, boosts circulation to the brain, and improves the brain’s ability to absorb nutrients, all of which improve brain function. Experts typically suggest dosages of two milligrams daily, taken with food. Vinpocetine appears to be safe for short- or long-term use. Check with your doctor if you are taking blood-thinning medications.


6. Rosemary to Increase Brain Circulation


This pine-like herb does more than just spice up a roast of beef, it offers anti-inflammatory protection to the delicate human brain. Research proves rosemary’s ability to increase blood flow to the head and brain, thereby improving concentration.


Historically, herbalists have used rosemary to strengthen memory. In England, rosemary’s memory strengthening ability was translated to mean that it would improve fidelity. As a result it was often given as a gift for the bride or groom as part of their wedding ceremony. Perhaps the gift-giver thought the herb would help the newlywed remember his or her vows.


Add rosemary to meat dishes or chop finely and add to bread, buns, or savory baked goods. There’s nothing as yummy as a still warm, freshly baked rosemary scone with tea.


Boosting your mental acuity and brain power can be as easy as eating Indian curries, rosemary biscuits, and drinking fresh ginger tea. Or supplement with ginkgo and vinpocetine to improve your brain health.

Possible breakthrough in skin cancer treatment

Possible breakthrough in skin cancer treatment


Cancer cells induced to 'eat themselves'


Cases of deadly skin cancer, also known as melanoma, are increasing at alarming rates in the UK - it is now the biggest killer of women in their twenties as we reported here.


When advanced melanoma does not respond to either chemotherapy or immunotherapy, and cannot be treated with surgery, the survival rate is usually very low.


But Spanish scientists have discovered an unexpected vulnerability in melanoma cells that can cause them to effectively eat themselves, known as autophagy.


The processes involved are complex and not fully understood. Previous research has shown that autophagy can play a part in both the halting and the spread of cancer cells.


Normal healthy animal cells are able to recognize and respond to invading viruses. Animal cells, including humans', contain single strands of RNA (ssRNA). In viruses, the RNA is double stranded (dsRNA). This allows human cells to identify the cells containing virus and recognise it as a threat.


In the new study, scientists found that melanoma cells still retain the ability to recognize and respond to dsRNA, raising the possibility that if introduced into melanoma cells, they could be fooled into attacking themselves.


By introducing a chemical designed to mimic dsRNA into the melanoma cells, they were able to stimulate melanoma cells to digest themselves. But the scientists noted that the manner in which the chemical mimic was added to the cells was critical to the success of the process.


Encouragingly, when tested on mice the process resulted in "significant anti-melanoma activity...without notable side effects" according to Dr. Maria S. Soengas, who authored the study which appears in the August edition of the journal Cancer Cell.


At this stage it is too early to say if this process will be of benefit in human cases, but it does represent an exciting new avenue for further research.

Top foods to keep you young


Top foods to keep you young


7 Anti-aging foods…
Most of us are keen to stay looking as fresh and young as possible, and although there's no way to pause or turn back the clock, there are few age-proof strategies we can employ to make sure we stay looking good. Maintaining a healthy and well-balanced diet is one approach, and the good news is that there are some foods that are thought to give you extra ammunition when it comes to combating the signs of aging.

Green tea
There is no end to the benefits of this super brew; green tea boasts a wealth of benefits that earns it the top spot in our anti-aging food list. Green tea is believed to help regulate blood pressure, lower blood sugar, boost the immune system, lower cholesterol and studies have even shown that green tea can be effective at preventing cancer. That's as close to the elixir of life as you can get.



Leafy greens
Whilst eating spinach won't be enough to turn you into Popeye, it's certainly excellent for boosting the body's immunity from illness. Spinach and other leafy foods like kale and collard are high in folate which is vital in preventing DNA and blood vessel damage. If you can maintain a healthy circulatory system you are reducing your risk of developing conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.

Dark chocolate
Who would have thought this sweet treat would feature in an anti-aging list, but the good news is chocolate can help fight against some signs of aging due to its cocoa content. Cocoa is rich in a group of antioxidants called Flavinoids which help preserve healthy function of the blood vessels. And healthy youthful circulatory system lowers risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia. Don't fill your boots though, a square a day is a good guide and make sure you go for the over 70% cocoa stuff.

Soy products
Like fish, soy products such as tofu are also a great alternative source of protein than red meat or even dairy, since they have little or no saturated fat. A diet that's low in saturated fat will reduce your risk of developing heart disease and lower blood pressure. As a staple part of the Japanese diet, soy products are great at helping keep down cholesterol and are a useful addition to a healthy diet.

Yogurt
Judging from their frequently bad press, you might assume that all forms of bacteria are out to get you. Thankfully, this couldn't be further from the truth. 'Good' bacteria is great for regulating the immune system, by increasing its antibodies and preventing the rise of pathogenic organisms like salmonella and E.coli. Many yoghurts include a high volume of 'good' bacteria that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness. Yogurt is also rich in calcium, which can help stave off osteoporosis.

Red wine
A glass of red wine tots up a good dose of anti-aging elements including polyphenol antioxidants, minerals, and resveratrol. Resveratrol which helps to increase 'good cholesterol' levels in the body and prevents blood clotting and a healthy circulatory system. Resveratrol found in red wine may also be beneficial for women during the menopause by reducing the risk for conditions for example breast cancer and osteoporosis that result from reduced oestrogen levels. Like the chocolate, it's not carte blanche to guzzle as much as you want; we suggest a standard glass every other day is a good approach.

Water
Few people - whether active or not - drink sufficient water, and side effects of even slight dehydration include headaches, fatigue and low concentration levels. Yet increasing fluid intake can increase energy levels, aid digestion, give skin a boost and help boost your anti-aging armoury. Concentrate on drinking little and often throughout the day, being extra vigilant after exercise or when you've been confined in a dry, overheated or air-conditioned environment.
