Thanks Dana. I was listening just this morning! Few composers can bring me to tears and Morricone is one. Have you heard the album ‘Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone’? Cinema Paradiso! I like Rota, too . . . those wonderful old Italian films . . . Here’s a playlist with some of their best:…[Read more]

The tears are a product of “affekt”. And Gurdjieff, in “Meetings with Remarkable Men”, refers to this skill in composers rooted in ancient tradition.

Things I like as a geek even though I’m not the smartest. Science, history, Tesla, and time travel. Seeing all these in an article, made me very happy for my morning coffee and French toast.

Speaking of time . . . I wish I knew how to expand time so I could watch more videos 😉

Dana, you are absolutely correct. A very astute observation to NOT underestimate the Chinese, OR the Russians. Sorry for the late Reply, but I’ve been busy. I understand my analysis could be wrong but consider this: the Norks and Chinese are not natural allies. The Norks have a more friendly attitude toward the Ruskies, historically speaking. So,…[Read more]

I just finished reading his new book “Real Magic” and there is no doubt he is echoing opinions on “NON LOCAL”. He joins people like Julian Jaynes and Thomas Nagel who are “on to it”, and this research will only increase in coming years.
-
Julian Jaynes & Magic? You mean voices in the head? I am not aware of him dabbling in the occult.
-
If you have Julian Jaynes book, go to page 21, which is the first page of the first chapter, he says.

We are also quite conscious that all this wonderful set of operations and contents that we all call consciousness is located somewhere in our head.
On critical examination, all of these statements are false.

According to Dean Radin, noted scientist and bestselling author of The Conscious Universe, magic is a natural aspect of reality, and each of us can tap into this power. Beginning with a brief history of magic over the centuries, a review of the scientific evidence for magic, a series of simple but effective magical techniques, Radin then offers a…[Read more]

“Dismissed” as the “placebo effect” in scientific circles, but no one has explained the placebo effect, and therefore it remains in the realm of magic (for now).

Sounds interesting but this gentleman is the first to bring up this topic: just look at Dr. Tiller’s studies on consciousness conducted over decades.

I told my father a couple of years ago to sell his stocks and buy bitcoins (they were about 300-400 euros at the time..) He didnt do it.
I then told him to sell his stocks and put everything into Space Mining.. I hope he does it this time 🙂 lol.

You’re not evil. It only takes one white cow …

I thought that it was the White Bull that was most important 🙂 lol. Wasnt it Hermes who stole some of Apollos cows.. Werent they supposed to be white cows??
-
– your’e the white cow (ok white bull) because it takes one white cow (bull) to refute that all cows are black. You said “man is the root of evil.. no man, no evil” and you’re the one that refutes your own quote.
I think I’ve now muddled myself …
-
lol.. you start talking about cows with me and Im already thinking about Apis.. Moloch.. the domestication of the Auroch in southern Mesopotomia… the cult of the bull for the Minoans… (sigh.. sometimes I tire myself out..) What I meant to say.. is that there is no evil without man. Our understanding of morality and the application thereof.…[Read more]

South Africa recalled its ambassador from Israel, Turkey recalled its ambassadors from Israel and USA…. “window dressing” or an escalation coming?

Well, up to now Ankara (like most of the rest) has never cared much about the Palestinians.

No one has ever cared about the Palestiniens. Egypt tried to help them and got pre emptively bombed by American jets flown by Isreali europeans.. (what? the only indiginous people in Jerusalem are getting sniped at from the West Bank by imperialistic invaders from Germany and Poland.. As far as Im aware.. a covenant was signed with Abraham..…[Read more]

The land did not belong to Yahweh to begin with so he asked his minions to take care of it.
-
So you’re talking about rights of conquest. Its the same reason Hitler gave for the aquisition of Poland. they needed the living space, ergo. Conquered and owned.
-
-
I am sure the Bible would stand under contract law in US courts as legal title of ownership.
Every conquest recorded in the Bible is a title of land for the minions of Yahweh

BlueWren .. Graham Hanc ock has ALWAYS insisted that we are a civilization that has been extremely traumatized by an event that occurred eons ago .. That has always fascinated me .. With this new research .. things are beginning to make more sense .. Much appreciated .. and thanks for posting .. 🙂

I wonder if some of our dreams and nightmares are DNA memories.

Again .. EVERYTHING is connected .. we may not understand it but none the less .. ALL is connected .. INTERLOCKED ..

Freefall: further to your interesting post regarding memory being passed down through DNA, I found this in this morning’s headlines:

It is a very interesting find, but the only thing this experiment proves conclusively is that RNA may be used to store certain relatively constant but changing parameters, such as the reaction time to certain stimuli by way of regulation of the secretion of certain chemicals, for example. So I would not generalize from THERE to MEMORY.
-
And one more thing: anything stored in RNA affects every cell of the body hence useful for any kind of reaction that requires synchronization at the cell level. Memories that are not essential for survival, basically our every day ego-memories, have no reason to be stored in RNA.
-
My interest in the article piqued after reading the last paragraph which indicates there is a plan afoot:
” Science and tech publication Futurism summed up the research, writing: “We’re still a way off from becoming a karate black belt simply by injecting some RNA into our necks, or downloading sweet dance moves directly to our minds. But we may…[Read more]
