7-time Best Documentary award-winning film narrated by Gabriel Byrne

An understanding of death is the key to liberation in life. –Stanislav Grof

Our Fear of death is in proportion to the degree to which we feel we haven’t lived ultimately- it’s not about what to do about death but what are we to do with life?
How can we leverage our fear of death to help us live deeper, more meaningful lives?

With expert testimony and convincing evidence –this documentary makes a legitimate argument that We’re not alone in the Universe - and the cover-up has been going on for decades

On a purely practical level, what technological benefits might be gained by seriously pursuing this theory?

It doesn’t matter what backs the currency — what matters is WHO controls the supply

Under the current system –the government has to borrow money into existence and then pay interest on it

Get Rid of the DEBT MONEY system — HERE’S HOW…

“The issue of a currency is a function of the government, a sovereign right which ought NOT to be delegated to corporations.”

1902- Dr. Davis Rich Dewey, Professor of Economics and Statistics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

In this video clip, INSPECTOR GENERAL OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE – ELIZABETH COLEMAN says she knows nothing about nine trillion dollars ($9,000,000,000,000) that is claimed to be unaccounted for. That’s $63,000 for each taxpayer. It’s also three times the amount of the entire annual federal budget of the United States missing in action! These numbers are simply staggering, yet they are getting amazingly little media coverage.

There are many other problems with the Federal Reserve, which by the way, is not really federal nor a true reserve. Members of the Fed’s board of governors are appointed by the president, yet during their 14-year terms the U.S. president and Congress have no power over them. Even more revealing is the fact that the Fed is actually owned by the largest banks in the U.S.

“We’ve seen money go out the back door of this government unlike any time in the history of our country,” Senator Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, said on the Senate floor Feb. 3. “Nobody knows what went out of the Federal Reserve Board, to whom and for what purpose. How much from the FDIC? How much from TARP? When? Why?”

They’re calling it, the biggest leak in intelligence history.

Julian Assange, founder and editor-in-chief of the whistleblowing website, WikiLeaks, is taking a lot of heat this summer for publishing the highly classified Afghanistan War Logs. These videos answer –

Why the World Needs WikiLeaks

What are legitmate secrets?

In his defense, Assange says the papers leaked are not current tactical information but does document the last six years of U.S. involvement in the war in Afghanistan, and is important for understanding the progress (or lack of it)  It’s significant because Americans have lost contact with the reality of the war and perhaps a closer look will change the perceptions of the people who are funding it.

In this TED interview – Assange explains how governments withhold information and use it as leverage to manipulate the balance of powers. He gives an example of how leaking a report that had been withheld changed the result of an election in Kenya.

He makes the point – if someone is spending money to conceal information – then there is usually an economic incentive for it not to be known.

Comparisons are being made  to DANIEL ELLSBERG who leaked the Top Secret Pentagon Papers.

Which if you haven’t seen the award-winning documentary; “The Most Dangerous Man in America” – it is totally worth your time to check it out. You’ll be amazed to see how much things, haven’t changed – and in fact, with regard to the mainstream press, censorship and towing the corporate party-line–it’s  just gotten worse.

<><><>

In its landmark ruling on the Pentagon Papers, the US Supreme Court ruled that:

“only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government.”

WikiLeaks says “We agree.”

Although some accuse Assange of being irresponsible, claiming the information he leaked may have endangered the lives of informants for the U.S., by revealing their coordinates.

A better question is; why was that information published online –even internally within the military system? Is that standard protocol for secret informants??

In this interview, Neil Sheehan, New York Times reporter who was responsible for publishing the Pentagon Papers – compares and contrasts the differences between WikiLeaks and the case of the Pentagon Papers.

Follow the Money

–the phrase made famous by investigative journalists; Woodward and Bernstein, in breaking the story of the Watergate scandal.

This situation also reveals the truth about who profits from the war and asks who stands to gain by the making the Afghan War Logs public? Assange believes the War Logs are deeply important to understanding how the war in Afghanistan has progressed since it began almost 10-years ago. The people [US taxpayers] have a right to know what we’re paying for – and most importantly, the Afghan people have a right to this information in order to effectively manage the destiny of their own country. It’s highly likely civil war will continue despite US involvement and as Sheehan stated in his interveiw;

“U.S. will be damned lucky to manage a successful pull out.”

From the WikiLeak website -www.wikileaks.org

We believe that transparency in government activities leads to reduced corruption, better government and stronger democracies. All governments can benefit from increased scrutiny by the world community, as well as their own people. We believe this scrutiny requires information. Historically that information has been costly – in terms of human life and human rights. But with technological advances – the internet, and cryptography – the risks of conveying important information can be lowered.

This is the title of a book Bill Black wrote about the Savings & Loan Debacle back in the 1980-to-90’s

There are many insights in this conversation between Bill and Bill.  And even though it was taped in 2009, it is amazing how little action has been taken by the administration to remedy the financial crisis.

“We’re failing to learn from our mistakes” — says Black, and nails it when he says this meltdown is as much a moral crisis as a financial one – demonstrating a systemic lack of integrity.

“The financial meltdown was driven by fraud at the highest levels.”

“We should learn how to better deal with fraud, instead we’re covering it up to “create confidence.”  The cover-up is so successful- we don’t have the facts. We need to know the facts to make intelligent decisions.”

HEARTMATH

after years of extensive research, claims that…

It is not our perceptions of events that cause stress, but our emotional response to those perceptions.

Apparently, when you’re stressed – feeling anxiety, anger or other negative emotions – your heart processes that information and sends it to your brain in the form of disordered heart-rhythm patterns, leaving many of your body’s systems out of sync. This is what HeartMath calls a state of heart incoherence, but the research shows you can regain and sustain heart coherence by intentionally feeling and focusing on positive emotions such as appreciation and caring.

To find out more click here or go their website: http://www.heartmath.com/

Science meets with William Shakespeare’s consummate words conveyed through Hamlet:

“…for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking (or rather FEELING) makes it so...”

Here’s one of the HeartMath TIPs offered on the site:

We start each day with a certain amount of energy. If that energy is continually spent in stress reactions, there won’t be enough left to replenish our reserves or to maintain a healthy immune system. When we allow our energy to be drained by stress on a regular basis, we set ourselves on a path toward fatigue and exhaustion. Try this simple one-day exercise to stop the energy drain of everyday stress:

Think of five things that stress you out each day, things you could change fairly easily if you put your heart to it. Think of these things as deficits, each one sapping a share of your valuable energy. Here are some possibilities to get you started: traffic – getting to work, your state of mind when you think about your overbooked schedule, communicating with a particular family member, friend or co-worker, thinking about money issues . . .

OK, create your own list, tailoring it to your lifestyle and the things that regularly trigger your stressful emotions. Now, do your best to reduce the negative, stressful responses to the items on your list. When you start to tense up during the day, notice how you’re feeling and try to shift to a more positive feeling of ease or appreciation. Stay conscious of what you are feeling and you’ll gradually reduce those energy-draining deficits and accumulate energy assets.

Honor Our SOLDIERS

listen to this song….(go ahead, you’ll be glad you did)

Likeness to Lily’s –TRAINING CADENCE

(#5 on the play list)

The night before the burial of her husband’s body, Katherin Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time.  The Marines made a bed for her.  Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop to play songs that reminded her of her husband, ‘Cat.’

One of the Marines asked if he could continue standing watch while she slept.

* * *

When asked:  “What can we do to make things better for you?” – the first thing a soldier usually says is . . .“We need your support and prayers.”

There’s a silent movement going around to show solidarity for our troops by wearing the color BLUE on each and every Friday.  Consider sending some energy of support and good wishes to our soldiers…I imagine they could use it!

Lyrics from Likeness to Lily’s — TRAINING CADENCE

In her book, CONSCIOUS CREATION, Dee Wallace has a whole chapter devoted to forgiving.  She affirms forgiveness as an invaluable tool for creating because it is a choice to move out of the energy of constriction and into flow.

She believes the reason most of us stay stuck in non-forgiveness is that “we love to wallow in what has happened.  Not only does it give us a comfortable excuse for why we can’t create, it offers a wonderful sense of community with our fellow victims.”

Choosing to take responsibility gives us the power to transform our situation.

Most of us will remember Dee Wallace as the actress who played the mother in the film, E.T: The Extra-Terrestial. (“Phone Home!”) And yet, she says the biggest gifts she ever received were the numerous people who sabotaged and hurt her.  

The amount of love I was able to experience in forgiving them, and the freedom it created, transformed my life.

She relates how her life has been filled with the lessons of forgiveness.  Her relationship with her father was a consistent challenge of forgiveness.

He couldn’t promise me he would be sober when I was a finalist for homecoming queen, so my teacher escorted me.  I won.  Later my mom would tell me that he was in the stands watching. It didn’t matter.  Bottom line, the bottle was more important than I was.

At one point after his suicide, my teacher said to me “Everyone does the best they can do. We’re all here to learn.”  That helped me forgive the crap and celebrate the good, so I could begin to move on.

From hurtful, deceitful romantic interludes to major business retaliations that devastated my career,

I learned that I had to forgive in order to live more fully.

For me – not for them.

When we go into blame, we become victims, and lose our power to create. We forget we are the Source we are blaming.  We forget that

everything that happens, happens to serve us.

Most of what we need to forgive is in the past and keeps us focused in the past.  As an adult, it is our ability to respond to a new choice that allows us to see a bigger picture.  We are able to see others’ limitations and circumstances.  We are able to even see the gifts we may have gotten from perceived hardships.  We are able to let go because we know that we too, have made mistakes.  However, we must choose to want to see these new perspectives.

Forgiveness is not a requirement for staying out of hell.

Hell is being stuck in that energy and not being able to move on.

However, forgiveness can’t be forced –and if we attach the vibration of guilt and beat ourselves up for not feeling forgiving, we bring our vibrations even lower.  It often takes some practice to be able to make that shift in our perception.

As an adult, I can see that my father did the best he could.  He was simply too damaged and incapable of healing.  I am able now to separate his drinking from his love for me and choose to remember the love.  It serves me better.  I learned from the drinking and lack of responsibility what I do not want in my own life.  They are guideposts I now use to consciously create what I want.
