  • If you want to know more about synchronicity


    If there’s one thing you should know about, it’s synchronicity. Always wondered what those coincidences in life – big and small – really mean?

    Have you ever been thinking about someone you haven’t seen for months only to bump into them in a busy shopping center? Or have their name to flash up on your mobile moments before you key in their number? This is the tantalizing nature of synchronicity. We all have examples of intriguing, significant coincidences that have happened along the way. But sit down and try to define the quality of these magical moments, and it is likely you’ll run into difficulty.

    It doesn’t help that we tend to be ruled by our logical minds, which tell us to put everything into a safe, ordered box, and dismiss apparently random events. But these synchronicities are happening everywhere in our daily lives – whether we choose to notice them or not. If we close our minds to this phenomenon, we run the risk of reducing life to a purely material, painfully tedious, humdrum level.

    Synchronicity is a magical thing that has the power to transform and enhance our lives if we decide to give it air time. A greater understanding of synchronicity unlocks our innate creativity and oomph, as well as our ability to manifest good things, and choose the life path that’s right for us.

    We are all interconnected by an energetic World-Wide-Web. Understanding synchronicity greatly enhances our life experience by helping us tune into our weird and wonderful Universe. These moments have an energizing, significant quality that connects us to each other, and to the hub of life itself.

    Synchronicity is not the reflection or projection of a mad psyche, or an imagining designed to make us feel better. Psychic is not the same as psycho! These are real events, providing food for thought, if not nourishment for the soul. Synchronicity directly reflects our inner and outer reality. For, it is when our inner moments are reflected in the outside world that our realities collide. When this happens, our inner-tuition is validated by a wonderful external event. We feel vindicated and liberated in one fell swoop. Magick!

    There definitely seems to be a link between heightened intuition and synchronicity

        The pineal gland is an endocrine organ that has the essential structure of an eye. It is located in the central part of the brain, so it relates to both the sixth and the seventh chakras. It functions as a light receptor, and is believed to be responsible for ovulation occurring in response to the phases of the moon.

        Lunar Influences on the Reproductive Cycle in Women

        Lunar Influences on the Reproductive Cycle in Women

        Abstract:

        Several exogenous influences on the human female's menstrual cycle length have recently been demonstrated. Previously, sexual behavior and pheromonal influences have been described. This report evaluates lunar cyclicity patterns.

        A relationship is demonstrated between the onset of menstruation, among women who have 29.5 + 1 day menstrual cycles, and the onset of full moon. Four separate prospectively gathered sets of data are presented from different years and seasons. It is demonstrated that these women tend to menstruate in the full of the moon with a diminishing likelihood of menses onset as distance from full moon increases.

        • Dont get mad, get creative: Social rejection can fuel imaginative thinking, study shows

          ScienceDaily (Aug. 21, 2012) — It's not just in movies where nerds get their revenge. A study by a Johns Hopkins University business professor finds that social rejection can inspire imaginative thinking, particularly in individuals with a strong sense of their own independence .
          "For people who already feel separate from the crowd, social rejection can be a form of validation," says Johns Hopkins Carey Business School assistant professor Sharon Kim, the study's lead author. "Rejection confirms for independent people what they already feel about themselves, that they're not like others. For such people, that distinction is a positive one leading them to greater creativity."

          Social rejection has the opposite effect on people who value belonging to a group: It inhibits their cognitive ability. Kim says numerous psychological studies over the years have made this finding. With her co-authors, Lynne Vincent and Jack Goncalo of Cornell University, she decided to consider the impact of rejection on people who take pride in being different from the norm. Such individuals, in a term from the study, are described as possessing an "independent self-concept."

          Spirituality correlates to better mental health regardless of religion, say researchers

          ScienceDaily (Aug. 20, 2012) — Despite differences in rituals and beliefs among the world's major religions, spirituality often enhances health regardless of a person's faith , according to University of Missouri researchers. The MU researchers believe that health care providers could take advantage of this correlation between health -- particularly mental health -- and spirituality by tailoring treatments and rehabilitation programs to accommodate an individual's spiritual inclinations.

            Aug 21, 2012 Scientists report on the surprising discovery that a generic drug used for over 40 years as an antifungal agent may also prove to be an effective treatment for cancer. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) have found that the oral antifungal agent thiabendazole acts as a vascular disrupting agent that reduces the growth of both tumor-feeding blood vessels and tumors in experimental mice carrying fibrosarcomas. The investigators are already looking to move the drug into clinical trials in a cancer setting.

            Cancer is a fungus - the book by Dr. T. Simoncini

            Among the many books that try to give an answer to the problem, the one given by the oncologist Tullio Simoncini distinguishes itself by its simplicity and its innovative ideology.

            The book “Cancer is a fungus” describes how a fungous infection always forms the basis of every neoplastic formation, and this formation tries to spread within the whole organism without stopping. The growth of the fungous colonies, together with the reaction of the tissue that tries to defend itself against the invasion, causes the tumour. This is a simple and solely extracellular phenomenon.

            Therefore, there is only one cause of cancer: candida, which, according to the anatomical branch concerned causes different histological reactions. This is the reason why there are so many types of tumours.

            At the moment, sodium bicarbonate (in a solution of 5% or 8.4%) is the only remedy capable of making the tumours disappear completely. In order to get the maximum of damaging effect, the sodium bicarbonate should be brought into direct contact with the tissue. This can be done by bringing a special catheter into the arteries that go to different organs, or by using the conventional endoscopic methods.
            sodium bicarbonate is Alkaline too

              Mount Fuji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

              History

              Mount Fuji is an attractive volcanic cone and a frequent subject of Japanese art. Among the most renowned works are Hokusai's 36 Views of Mount Fuji and his One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji. The mountain is mentioned in Japanese literature throughout the ages and is the subject of many poems.

              It is thought that the first ascent was in 663 by an anonymous monk. The summit has been thought of as sacred since ancient times and was forbidden to women until the Meiji Era. Ancient samurai used the base of the mountain as a remote training area, near the present day town of Gotemba. The shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo held yabusame in the area in the early Kamakura period.

              Mount Fuji Myths and Legends

              Mt. Fuji has been the home to many things. It has been known as the home of a fire god, the Shinto goddess of flowing trees, and since Buddhist times the dwelling of Dainichi Nyorai, who was the Buddha of All-Illuminating Wisdom. One of the deities of Mt. Fuji is known as Sengen, the goddess of Fuji. She is also known as Ko-no-hana-saku-ya-hime (“Radiant-blooming-as-the-flowers-of-the-trees”) On the summit of Mt. Fuji is her temple. She was said to in ancient times sit on a cloud while her invisible servants threw in any pilgrims who were not pure of heart. Another deity of Fuji was the Luminous Maiden. She was said to have led a certain emperor to his doom. He is still worshipped at the small shrine marking where he vanished. A third and final deity that is known is O-ana-mochi or “possessor of the great hole” (crater).

              Mount Fuji, Highest Mountain of Japan

              Mount Fuji is believed to possess a female spirit HM 6 and is the highest mountain in Japan. There is a myth recounting a story of the measurement of Mount Fuji and Mount Haku by the Buddha Amida. It is said that Haku, a male mountain, was taller than Fuji, however Mount Fuji was so enraged by this measurement that she destroyed the top of Haku. This created the eight peaks of Mount Haku and thus Mount Fuji became the tallest of the Japanese mountains.

                People See Odd Numbers as Male, Even as Female | Grammatical Gender | Psychology & Abstract Concepts | Male & Female Objects | LiveScience

                Daisy Grewal, Scientific American
                Date: 31 August 2011

                People See Odd Numbers as Male, Even as Female

                Gender is so fundamental to the way we understand the world that people are prone to assign a sex to even inanimate objects. We all know someone, or perhaps we are that person, who consistently refers to their computer or car with a gender pronoun ("She's been running great these past few weeks!") New research suggests that our tendency to see gender everywhere even applies to abstract ideas such as numbers. Across cultures, people see odd numbers as male and even numbers as female.

                Scientists have long known that language can influence how we perceive gender in objects. Some languages consistently refer to certain objects as male or female, and this in turn, influences how speakers of that language think about those objects. Webb Phillips of the Max Planck Institute, Lauren Schmidt of HeadLamp Research, and Lera Boroditsky at Stanford University asked Spanish- and German-speaking bilinguals to rate various objects according to whether they seemed more similar to males or females. They found that people rated each object according to its grammatical gender. For example, Germans see the moon as being more like a man, because the German word for moon is grammatically masculine ("der Mond"). In contrast, Spanish-speakers see the moon as being more like a woman, because in Spanish the word for moon is grammatically feminine ("la Luna"). (as mentioned previously anglo-saxon is the male side of language , where as latin languages are the female side )

                Aside from language, objects can also become infused with gender based on their appearance, who typically uses them, and whether they seem to possess the type of characteristics usually associated with men or women. David Gal and James Wilkie of Northwestern University studied how people view gender in everyday objects, such as food and furniture. They found that people see food dishes containing meat as more masculine and salads and sour dairy products as more feminine. People see furniture items, such as tables and trash cans, as more feminine when they feature rounded, rather than sharp, edges.

                Wilkie partnered with fellow Northwestern psychologist Galen Bodenhausen to demonstrate that this tendency to ascribe gender to objects extends to even highly abstract concepts. They ran an experiment where they asked American participants to rate foreign names (e.g. "Alekseev") in terms of how masculine or feminine they seemed. When a name was paired with the number 1, it was more likely to be rated as masculine. When the same name was paired with the number 2, people were more likely to rate it as feminine. Wilkie and Bodenhausen asked people how they made their decisions, but none of their participants reported that the numbers had influenced their ratings of the names.

                  Agrobiotech Institute in Sophia Antipolis, France, and his colleagues suggest that, in aphids, these pigments can absorb energy from the Sun and transfer it to the cellular machinery involved in energy production1.

                  Although unprecedented in animals, this capability is common in other kingdoms. Plants and algae, as well as certain fungi and bacteria, also synthesize carotenoids, and in all of these organisms the pigments form part of the photosynthetic machinery.


                  The number of bacteria living within the body of the average healthy adult human are estimated to outnumber human cells 10 to 1.

                    Last month's solar flare created a mysterious 'pulse' on Earth that seemed to 'answer' sun's blast | Mail Online

                    After an unusually long quiet period, the sun unleashed a solar flare on May 17 this year - but scientists are now puzzling over what happened on Earth.

                    Neutron monitors all round the world lit up in response to the blast for the first time in six years, despite the fact it was an M-Class, or moderate, flare.

                    The 'answering' pulse shouldn't have happened at all. Now scientists are trying to unravel what happened - and why our planet 'pulsed' in response.

                        In Indian philosophy it's seen as Shiva and and his wife Shakti, both representing the static and dynamic principal. In the Kabbalah it is Salomon and Shulamit, and so forth, the expression of ecstatic love found in a divine amorous play.

                        Therefore, the sound affinity between six and sex is no coincidence. Six is the number of sexual power, the reconnecting force between body and soul, female and male, plus and minus, yin and yang, fire and water.

                        The desire for ecstasy and climax as a motivator in human sexual activity is a mirror for soul's desire to merge again with its creator. Consciously or not, it is the brief moment of unity what the lovers are seeking for. Procreation is the outcome, creating new vessels for souls to move in and having the chance to walk on this wonderful earthly plane.

                        It is almost needless to say, why this powerful number has been chosen by those who feel attraction to the misuse of power, calling their activities satanic, black magic, voodoo, etc. ( see Karma : http://www.energeticforum.com/202167-post2660.html )

                        But, to make it perfectly clear, a number per se can NOT be bad. 666 ( HM 9 / end of cycle / time is up for red monkeys ) for example is exactly what you think about it, and you need to examine where your thoughts were coming from!




                        ------------------------ let's check out 666

                        666

                        wikipedia.org:
                        While most manuscripts of the Bible read six-hundred-sixty-six or 666 for the Number of the Beast in Revelation 13:18, some early manuscripts contain 616 instead. Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (5th century) and Papyrus 115 (3rd or 4th century). Irenaeus knew about the reading 616 - A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, New York: United Bible Societies. ISBN 3-438-06010-8., p. 751, Irenaeus "says that 666 'is found in all good and ancient copies,' and is 'attested by those who had themselves seen John face to face'." The minuscule manuscript 2344 (11th century) identifies the Number of the Beast as 665.
                        I guess they have not really made up their mind ...... feel free to play Harmonic Math ( ps: keep in mind Astrotheology )

                        In May 2005 it was reported that scholars at Oxford University using advanced imaging techniques had been able to read previously illegible portions of an early (third century) version of the Book of Revelation, part of its Oxyrhynchus collection of papyri. The fragment gives the Number of the Beast as 616. Scholars now believe the number in question has very little to do with the devil. It was actually a complicated numerical riddle in Greek, meant to represent someone's name. "It's a number puzzle -- the majority opinion seems to be that it refers to [the Roman emperor] Nero."

                        • Twenty-Five Miles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                          "Twenty-Five Miles" is a song written by Johnny Bristol, Harvey Fuqua, and Edwin Starr for Starr's second album, 25 Miles (1968). The song reached #6 on the US singles charts, and #36 in the UK. The song was considered sufficiently similar to "32 Miles out of Waycross" by Hoagy Lands (also recorded as "Mojo Mama" by both Wilson Picket and Don Varner), written by Bert Berns and Jerry Ragovoy, that Berns and Ragovoy were eventually given co-writing credits.

                          one studio that probably had a great impact on Music and Culture

                          Motown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                          Motown is a record company originally founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, United States, on April 14, 1960. The name, a portmanteau of motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit.
                          Smokey Robinson said of Motown's cultural impact: Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightning - YouTube

                          Into the '60s, I was still not of a frame of mind that we were not only making music, we were making history. But I did recognize the impact because acts were going all over the world at that time. I recognized the bridges that we crossed, the racial problems and the barriers that we broke down with music. I recognized that because I lived it. I would come to the South in the early days of Motown and the audiences would be segregated. Then they started to get the Motown music and we would go back and the audiences were integrated and the kids were dancing together and holding hands.[1]
                          Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music, by achieving a crossover success. In the 1960s, Motown and its soul-based subsidiaries were the most successful proponents of what came to be known as The Motown Sound, a style of soul music with a distinct pop influence.

                              The Fall of any Empire starts with its Culture


                              Culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                              culture is that which distinguishes life in one group from life in another group[citation needed], including language, beliefs, morality, norms, customs, institutions, and physical objects, among other qualities.

                              When culture (Latin: cultura, lit. "cultivation")[1] first began to take its current usage by Europeans in the 18th and 19th centuries (having had earlier antecedents elsewhere), it connoted a process of cultivation or improvement, as in agriculture or horticulture. In the 19th century, it came to refer first to the betterment or refinement of the individual, especially through education, and then to the fulfillment of national aspirations or ideals. In the mid-19th century, some scientists used the term "culture" to refer to a universal human capacity. For the German nonpositivist sociologist Georg Simmel, culture referred to "the cultivation of individuals through the agency of external forms which have been objectified in the course of history".[2]

                              In the 20th century, "culture" emerged as a concept central to anthropology, encompassing all human phenomena that are not purely results of human genetics. Specifically, the term "culture" in American anthropology had two meanings: (1) the evolved human capacity to classify and represent experiences with symbols, and to act imaginatively and creatively; and (2) the distinct ways that people living in different parts of the world classified and represented their experiences, and acted creatively.

                              A distinction is current between the physical artifacts created by a society, its so-called material culture and everything else,[3] the intangibles such as language, customs, etc. that are the main referent of the term "culture".


                              Women in Reality TV Promoting Self-Denigration, Study Finds

                              “After many years of pursuing equality for women, the findings of today’s study suggest a glamorized, but grossly distorted view of what it means to be feminine,” said PTC President Tim Winter in a statement. “Compared to men, women were far more denigrating to themselves and other females. With so much at stake, teen-targeted reality television is doing little more than ‘empowering’ young girls to be overly negative.”
                              The males in the shows were not much more positive either about themselves or other males, but it was found that, with the exception of “Real World,” when men weren't being positive they generally used more neutral language. When women weren't being positive they were generally being disparaging toward other women and themselves.
                              "It's a very disturbing picture,” Henson said. “Men are not learning to treat women with respect, or to value them, treasure them, cherish them as we would hope our daughters would be loved and valued and cherished. And that's not the message they're getting from these reality shows. Instead, what you see is a lot of fighting – a guy calling the woman he supposedly loves a 'slut,' and worse. It's a very distorted kind of view of what a romantic relationship is.”

                                Soft power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                                The primary currencies of soft power are an actor's values, culture, policies and institutions—and the extent to which these "primary currencies", as Nye calls them, are able to attract or repel other actors to "want what you want."[11] In 2008, Nye applied the concepts of hard and soft power to individual leadership in "The Powers to Lead".
                                In recent years a number of commentators have argued that the 'soft power' of a nation's culture is as important as its military strength in assessing that country's place in the world.
                                when one loses soft power ... the country over compensates with hard power ( read your history ) .... not much different than a child with few words to express his "malaise" relies more heavily on violence
