Ghostly images startle woman

RIVERVIEW - Jeanne Culp has never believed in ghosts. But she does now.

The Hillsborough County woman caught something strange on her home security cameras.

"I didn't know what to think. I really didn't know," she offered.

When she rewound a tape that caught the action outside her home last month, she held her breath. It was a cloudy day and a steady drizzle rained down. She saw a flash of light in the middle of the picture. She saw the light grow, change shape and move as she forwarded through the tape.

Jeanne thinks she was watching a ghost move across the screen.

"I think it was the movement. And when you rewind it back, it's more visible than when it goes forwards," she explained.

She also saw the outline of a person and a streak of light fly by.

The image appeared right after Jeanne poured an extension to her driveway. She's lived in her house for 30 years. But she doesn't know of anyone who died there or if anything strange happened that could have caused it to happen.

But now she's a believer.

"I think there may be a possibility that they are other beings out there," she said.

Ghost hunters sure think so. Bill Sharpe says you have to open yourself up to the possibility.

FOX 13 showed him the video. He thinks in this case it's just a reflection on the camera, caused by humidity. But he says, "you never know."

Sharpe says the fascination with ghosts has been going on for years.

"That goes back to when you were a kid -- when three or four or five of you were left at home or your parents were in a different room and you'd tell stories to scare each other," he said.

He says people wonder what happens when they die -- where they go or if they go. Now Jeanne Culp says she wonders, too.

Spring Heeled Jack A Vampire?

Spring Heeled Jack was a leaping, bounding superman with claimed recorded sightings as early as 1837 in Southwest London. He has been described as wearing a kind of helmet and a tightfitting white costume like an oilskin. It's said he can breath blue and white flames and has hands like great claws. His hands are said to be "as cold of that as a corpse". Confirmed sightings of him occurred in 1838 by a young woman named Jane Alsop on a London backstreet and persisted for more than 60 years in the London area until around 1904.

Jack has been reported as being able to jump from cobblestones to roofstop and back with ease. In 1877 he was shot at with no apparent affect by angry townspeople. The discription of Spring Heeled Jack rarely changed over the years until his last official recorded sighting. Other sights of Jack appeared in Liverpool, Sheffield, all over England to the Midlands and Scotland. There are recent recorded sightings of him as late at 1953 in Houston, Texas to 1986 on the Welch border.

With Jack clear in your mind, it's time to slightly change the modern perception of what a vampire is and how it should look. The FVZA website gives us details about vampires that more resemble the being in the movie Nosferatu than recent modern interpretations. The FVZA, or Federal Vampire & Zombie Agency (1868-1975), was "responsible for controlling the nation's vampire and zombie populations while overseeing research into the undead." Officially created in 1838 by President Ulysses S. Grant it went undercover shortly after, but was eventually disbanded due to a controlled vampire and zombie population. They studied the virus that causes one to become a vampire and how it affects a human turning. What's interesting is not only what is the same to our modern lore but also what's different.

The FVZA informs us that vampires have pale yellow skin, eventually showing veins. Their ligaments and tendons thicken to support a stronger bone structure as well giving them extraordinary strength and quickness. Blood is also pumped through their skeletal system instead of their blood veins making their heart deteriorate from lack of use. They can handle trauma that may kill a normal human and their strength increases to about three times what the turned human's strength originally was. Their DNA is also altered to fight off the the wear that usually affects human DNA giving them longer life expectancy.

So is Spring Heeled Jack a vampire?

He possesses some of the characteristics known to vampires. Increased strength can account for his ability to leap large fences and to the tops of buildings with no effort. His tight fitting costume may, in fact, be the skin discoloration of becoming a vampire. Some sightings at night would also account for some confusion if he was wearing some sort of suit or if the skin color was incorrectly mistaken for something worn over it. Jack's resistance to being fired upon also supports the reworking of the vampire nervous system to survive and be unaffected by things conventionally deadly to humans. The cold touch of Jack's hand is easily figured by the lower body temperature (60 degrees) of a vampire.

The stories of him breathing flames has no parallel to any known paranormal entity and sources never cite vampires as having that ability, however, if Jack was a vampire use of some tricks would not be unknown to him having been a human prior. He is not known to have killed, but it's likely police forces during this time period may not have known what to make of a Spring Heeled Jack crime scene if they found one. The best examples of what a modern vampire killing would look like actually appear in the Jack the Ripper cases in London only a year or so after the last accepted sighting of him in London. Their sightings and accounts overlap in interesting areas while happening in the same location, if in seemingly different parts of town.

The modern vampire lore may need to be reworked as our understanding of DNA and viruses increases. With a more open-minded society the Spring Heeled Jack incidents may have been and open and shut case to his nature, though no one succeeded in capturing him.

The Magi
by Robert Bruce Baird

THE MAGI:

I find no real fault in Constantine's inclusion or plagiarization of earlier and other systems of thought or their symbology into Roman Empire social engineering. The problem I see is the nature of the knowledge that they sought to prevent average people from gaining. Knowledge is power and knowledge in the hands of the few is a corrupting power. They have used mind-fogging projections to enslave and make people live in fear of demons and other constructs.

"Among the most famous--and fiercest--of the laws that Moses is shown to bring down from Mt. Sinai are the ones that criminalize the practice of magic. 'There shall not be found among you a soothsayer, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer,' decrees Moses. 'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.' (From Biblio: Deut 18: 10; Exod. 22: 18.) Magic working is condemned with equal fervor in the Christian Bible, where it is explicitly kinked with all the other outrages of paganism: 'The fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, {Yes, and the Catholics had more idols than the pagan pantheon especially when you include the saints along with 'Laddio, Daddio and Spook'.} and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.' (From Biblio: Rev. 21: 8.)

Ironically, an intriguing and illuminating clue to the function of sorcery in the pagan world is buried away in one of the most beloved passages of the Christian Bible. 'Three wise men' come in search of the newborn Jesus, or so goes the conventional English translation of Matthew 2: 1-2, 'for we have seen his star in the east, and have come to worship him.' The 'wise men' are plainly called 'magi' in the Greek text, the plural form of 'magus,' a word that was used among the pagans of Babylonia and Persia to identify seers, soothsayers and sorcerers. 'Magus' is the root of 'magic,' and so we might more accurately call the men who followed a star to Bethlehem the three magicians.

'Magus' came to be used in Jewish and Christian circles as a derogatory term to describe someone who trafficked in black magic; a sorcerer, a deceiver, even a poisoner. But the original meaning of the word in the pagan world was honorable and even exalted…" (1)

Then there are the constant proclamations that various 'experts' make about ESP. Stanford Research Institute included the inventor of the laser and many fine scientists that these so-called 'experts' are seldom able to evaluate or as debunkers are paid to marginalize. Russell Targ's book Limitless Mind including a foreword by Jean Houston is a great book for the truly open-minded individual. Targ's book - which is the study of consciousness and the ethereal Matrix at a high scientific level says: "...forced-choice ESP tests are an inefficient way to elicit psi functioning: they always have an additional burden of boredom and mental noise (AOL). In the above studies, the experimenters, on average, had to carry out 3,600 trials to achieve a statistically significant result. With the free-response type of experiment, such as remote viewing, we typically have to do only six to nine trials." (2) Does it not make sense to 'observe' all the avenues for wisdom that we are blessed with?

Sins and the Real Demons
by Robert Bruce Baird

We all must know that the Catholic Church has used fear of demons and so-called sin to make a great deal of their power. I hope to illustrate the inner workings of the separation of church and state that is not a reality and that the state uses the same techniques. In the words of the deservedly respected historians Will and Ariel Durant we visit with the technocrats of the Jesuit Order who John Ralston Saul holds up as the forerunners of the lobbyists and other courtesans of this present enlightened age. The quotation from Rousseau and Revolution does not elucidate the agreement Charles of Spain made before giving the Jesuits he expelled from Spain a small stipend. That agreement called for silence on the matters relating to their attempts to inform the people of his true nature. But during this silent period I suggest there were some Jesuits like Adam Weishaupt who decided enough was enough. It is this moment in history that we find a significant change in the world took place. America was created in the same year the Illuminati were re-organized and Russia celebrated the founding day of these Illuminati in their May Day celebration.

Various accounts say they intended to have him killed and the truth may never be known because the rest of the Catholic world allowed these hundreds of good Catholics to nearly die on a boat going from port to port seeking refuge. This was (as you will see) a time when muggers and crooks were given 'sanctuary' in the churches. Gregory of Tours in an earlier time notes how this 'sanctuary' often led to the priests making money from charging the supposed crook or the parties wishing to kill them through secret agreements. The Jesuits so expelled lived a miserable existence on a meager pension but kept their mouths shut because if even one talked all would lose their pension. In short there really is no mystery here at all - but it does dovetail with the possibilities of why we are seldom allowed to hear what really went on in the annals of what we improperly call history. "II. POPES, KINGS, AND JESUITS

The power of the Catholic Church rested on the natural super-naturalism of mankind, the recognition and sublimation of sensual impulses and pagan survivals, the encouragement of Catholic fertility {Read baby-factories and 'barefoot in the kitchen' .}, and the inculcation of a theology rich in poetry and hope, and useful to moral discipline and social order. In Italy the Church was also the main source of national income, and a valued check upon a people especially superstitious, pagan, and passionate. Superstitions abounded; as late as 1787 witches were burned at Palermo--and refreshments were served to fashionable ladies witnessing the scene. (2) Pagan beliefs, customs, and ceremonies survived with the genial sanction of the Church. 'I have arrived at a vivid conviction,' wrote Goethe, 'that all traces of original Christianity are extinct here' in Rome. (3) There were, however, many real Christians left in Christendom, even in Italy. Conte Caissotti di Chiusano, bishop of Asti, gave up his rich inheritance, lived in voluntary poverty, and traveled only on foot. Bishop Testa of Monreale slept on straw, ate only enough to subsist, kept only 3,000 lire of his revenues for his personal needs, and devoted the remainder to public works and the poor. (4) {But the majority of prelates were not so inclined as they engaged in concubinage and fathering children of the parishioners wives as the church owned the majority of farms and land throughout Italy while collecting alms for the poor. The bulk of church wealth comes from guilt and estates where upon death promises of salvation are tied to a good deed by giving the wealth to the church rather than the justly deserving heirs.}

The Church responded in some measure to the Enlightenment. The works of Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Helvétius, d'Holbach, La Mettrie, and other freethinkers were of course placed on the Index Expurgatorius, but permission to read them might be obtained from the pope. {This is a perfect example of what we said about practicing one thing while excluding others access to what works. The pope also became promoted as a source of the right to learn. Is this like the situation we have in public education before reaching university?} Monsignor Ventimiglio, bishop (1757-73) of Catania, had in his library full editions of Voltaire, Helvetius, and Rousseau. The Inquisition was abolished in Tuscany and Parma in 1769, in Sicily in 1782, in Rome in 1809. {Witches were still outlawed no doubt. It took until 1951 to rescind the laws against being a witch in England. There are movements afoot to re-institute blasphemy laws.} In 1783 a Catholic priest, Tamburini, under the name of his friend Trauttmansdorff, published an essay On Ecclesiastical and Civil Toleration, in which he condemned the Inquisition, declared all coercion of conscience to be un-Christian, and advocated toleration of all theologies except atheism. (5)

It was the misfortune of the popes, in this second half of the eighteenth century, that they had to face the demand of Catholic monarchs for the total dissolution of the Society of Jesus. The movement against the Jesuits was part of a contest of power between the triumphant nationalism of the modern state and the internationalism of a papacy weakened by the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the rise of the business class. {Cardinal Biffi of Bologna thinks there is an anti-Christ among us today who is a philanthropist of great wealth. This 'anti-Christ' supports ecological, animal - and women's right while destroying the tenets of Catholicism. Biffi was a leading contender to take John Paul II's place from the conservative faction of this supranational elite. Apparently this anti-Christ is well versed in the Bible and maybe even a better Christian than Biffi, as I see it.} The Catholic enemies of the Society did not openly press their chief objection, that it had persistently upheld the authority of the popes as superior to that of kings, but they were keenly resentful that an organization acknowledging no superior except its general and the pope should in effect constitute, within each state, an agent of foreign power. They acknowledged the learning and piety of the Jesuits, {Were they jealous of their 'brothers' who actually knew more?} their contributions to science, literature, philosophy, and art, their sedulous and efficient education of Catholic youth, their heroism on foreign missions, their recapture of so much territory once lost to Protestantism. But they charged that the Society had repeatedly interfered in secular affairs, that it had engaged in commerce to reap material gains, that it had inculcated casuistic principles excusing immorality and crime, condoning even the murder of kings, that it had allowed heathen customs and beliefs to survive among its supposed converts in Asia, and that it had offended other religious orders, and many of the secular clergy, by its sharpness in controversy and its contemptuous tone. The ambassadors of the Kings of Portugal, Spain, Naples, and France insisted that the papal charter of the Society be revoked, and that the organization be officially and universally dissolved.

The expulsion of the Jesuits from Portugal in 1759, from France in 1764-67, from Spain and Naples in 1767, had left the Society still operative in Central and North Italy, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in Catholic Germany, Silesia, and Poland. On February 7, 1768, they were expelled from the Bourbon duchy of Parma, and were added to the congestion of Jesuit refugees in the states of the Church. Pope Clement XIII protested that Parma was a papal fief; he threatened Duke Ferdinand VI and his ministers with excommunication of the edict of expulsion should be enforced {But Hitler, or should I say Schicklgruber/Rothschild, was never excommunicated and probably not even threatened. Why?!}; when they persisted he launched a bull declaring the rank and title of the Duke forfeited and annulled. The Catholic governments of Spain, Naples, and France opened war upon the papacy: {One of my ancestors was Miles Keogh who fought with the Vatican Army before his horse was the only survivor of Custer's Last Stand at the Little Big Horn. Many people have a hard time thinking of a supranational theological armed superpower in so recent a time. I suspect he became a Martinist when he was engaged to a Martin of political importance.} Tanucci seized the papal cities of Benevento and Pontecorvo, and France occupied Avignon. On December 10 1768, the French ambassador at Rome, in the name of France, Naples, and Spain, presented to the Pope a demand for the retraction of the bull against Parma, and for the abolition of the Society of Jesus. The seventy-six-year-old pontiff collapsed under the strain of this ultimatum. He summoned for February 3, 1769, a consistory of prelates and envoys to consider the matter. On February 2 he fell dead through the bursting of a blood vessel in his brain.

The cardinals who were called to choose his successor were divided into two factions: 'zelanti' who proposed to defy the kings, and 'regalisti' who favored some pacific accommodations. As the Italian cardinals were almost all 'zelanti', and soon gathered in Rome, they tried to open the conclave before the regalist cardinals from France, Spain, and Portugal could arrive. {Does any of this seem the least bit divinely inspired?} The French ambassador protested, and the conclave was deferred. Meanwhile Lorenzo Ricci, general of the Jesuits, compromised their case by issuing a pamphlet questioning the authority of any pope to abolish the Society. (6) In March Cardinal de Bernis arrived from France, and began to canvass the cardinals with a view to ensure the election of a pope willing to satisfy their Catholic Majesties. Later rumors (7) that he or others bribed, or otherwise induced, Cardinal Giovanni Ganganelli to promise such action if chosen have been rejected by Catholic (8) and anti-Catholic historians (9) alike. {Many apparently 'anti' positions are actually managed or double agents.} Ganganelli, by common consent, was a man of great learning, devotion, and integrity; however, he belonged to the Franciscan order, which had often been at odds with the Jesuits, {Such as the treatment of North Americas who Franciscans brutalized in ways no devil would imagine.} both in missions and in theology. (10) On May 19, 1769, he was elected by the unanimous vote of the forty cardinals, and took the name of Clement XIV. He was sixty-three years old.

He found himself at the mercy of the Catholic powers. France and Naples held on to the papal territory they had seized; Spain and Parma were defiant; Portugal threatened to establish a patriarchate independent of Rome, even Maria Theresa, hitherto fervently loyal to the papacy and the Jesuits, but now losing authority to her freethinker son Joseph II, answered the Pope's appeal that she could not resist the united will of so many potentates. Choiseul, dominating the government of France, instructed Bernis to tell the Pope that 'if he does not come to terms he can consider all relations with France at an end.' (11) Charles III of Spain had sent a similar ultimatum on April 22. Clement, playing for time, promised Charles soon to 'submit to the wisdom and intelligence of your Majesty a plan for the total extinction of the Society.' (12) He ordered his aides to consult the archives and summarize the history, achievements, and alleged offenses of the Society of Jesus. He refused to surrender to Choiseul's demand that he decide the issue within two months. He took three years, but finally yielded.

On July 21, 1773, he signed the historic brief 'Dominus ac Redemptor Noster'. It began with a long list of religious congregations that had, in the course of time, been suppressed by the Holy See. It noted the many complaints made against the Jesuits, and the many efforts of divers popes to remedy the abuses so alleged. 'We have observed with the bitterest grief that these remedies, and others applied afterward, had neither efficacy or strength to put an end to the troubles, the charges, and the complaints.' (13)

The brief concluded:

'Having recognized that the Society of Jesus could no longer produce the abundant fruit and the great good for which it was instituted and approved by so many popes, our predecessors, who adorned it with so many most admirable privileges, and seeing that it was almost--and indeed absolutely--impossible for the Church to enjoy a true and solid peace while this order existed,... we do hereby, after a mature examination, and of our certain knowledge, and by the plenitude of our Apostolic power, suppress and abolish the Society of Jesus. We nullify and abrogate all and each of its offices, functions, administrations, houses, schools, colleges, retreats, refuges, and other establishments which belong to it in any manner whatever, and in every province, kingdom, or state in which it may be found.' (14)

The brief went on to offer pensions to those Jesuits who had not yet taken holy orders, and who wished to return to lay life; it permitted Jesuit priests to join the secular clergy or some religious congregation approved by the Holy See; it allowed professed Jesuits, who had taken final and absolute vows, to remain in their former houses provided they dressed like secular priests and submitted to the authority of the local bishop...

This is not generally the fashion here. A murderer killing himself, in Naples; the murderer usually makes for the nearest church; once there is quite safe. Every church gave the criminal 'sanctuary'-immunity from arrest so long as he remained under its roof.

The law attempted to deter crime rather by severity of punishment than by efficiency of police. Under the laws of the gentle Benedict XIV blasphemy was punished by flogging, and, for a third offence, five years in the galleys. Unlawful entry of a convent at night was a capital crime. The solicitation or public embrace of an honorable woman brought condemnation to the galleys for life. Defamation of character, even if it spoke nothing but the truth, was punishable with death and confiscation of goods." (15)

One can easily imagine these people were well behaved and civilized... right?! Is my sense of disgust at the deprecation of the 'savages' and 'pagans' unwarranted?

The Flat Earth Lie
by Robert Bruce Baird

This is the introduction to my book The Flat Earth Lie: The Basis of Our Schooling.

The impact of the 'Flat Earth' monsters (Both those at 'the edge of the earth', and those who manipulated the fictions associated with it.) are still influencing the daily lives of everyone on earth today. The air we breathe and the way we think about risks and fears or our fellow lifeforms are inexorably involved with this legacy. To call the Americas the 'New World' or its' native people 'Indians' is something we should regard as heresy. There are very few people today that would say they know the earth is flat. Unfortunately there are many who think there was some one place called Atlantis.

"We know that it is extremely unlikely that Columbus could have been the son of humble wool-carders. He acquired too much (unexplained) education to have sprung from such origins in the Middle Ages. From his arrival in Portugal it is evident that he wielded some mysterious power, prestige and even wealth. This suggests to a number of modern experts that he could only have been the scion of some royal or noble family, a family just as obscure as Columbus himself. But his rank allowed him to marry quickly into Portuguese aristocracy when he took Felipa Perestrello as his wife, and, when she died, his rank allowed him to court several noble and wealthy women of Spain as mistresses. He was the favored friend of Spanish dukes and the Portuguese king and queen--not to mention Isabella herself. He hobnobbed with the richest men in Spain on an easy and familiar basis, and these men actually financed his voyage. In class-conscious medieval Europe, these cannot have been the accomplishments of a wool-carder's son who supposedly was only a merchant skipper from Genoa." (1)

The sails of his ships had a clue. Vasco da Gama's did too. It was the Templar cross. He was a 'made man' as they say in certain circles. He was not a 'nut' as the Britannica implicates. You can see similar guises with Jesus in the fable about a scion of the noble family of David being a shepherd or carpenter.

There are also a lot of people buying into other myths including the alien reptoid ritual mind-fogging that has been done to many people. The Biblical myth-makers talking about Elohim and their associated Christian Mystery School writers are not dragons or even as Noble blood as they think. It is a sad state of affairs even though there is loads of information coming forward that deserves to be accepted. Staying abreast of the longevity man's duration on earth is no easy matter. It has been accelerating in the speed it is pushed back, farther and farther into the ages or aeons. But history still is taught from much the same books it was decades before all this new knowledge came to be known. Nothing is absolutely black and white or certain. I hope we all can understand that the right answer is not as good as a decent question. But who gets to ask the questions?

You do not have to believe the Earth is flat to be a victim of the schooling or training which was going on throughout the Dark Ages and continues to the present. If you believe knowledgeable mariners like Cosmas Indicopleustas really thought the Pope was at 'the center of the universe' and the rest of that stuff, you are sorely abused. Bishop Ussher and Cosmas were given greater commercial or other recognition for their useful lies. In the case of Cosmas he was awarded a Nestorian priesthood. The Nestorians and Basilidae have a long relationship with those in control of China. We have archaeologically proven Byzantine coins to prove it, from the era when the Tarim Basin climate finally forced the red-heads out of that region - the fifth Century AD. I have addressed the origin of much religion and technology with these tall red-heads near the present Great Wall of China. You might have seen them in National Geographic.

Our reason (philosophy), should concern our 'selves' with the field of metaphysics. Metaphysics is the study of three entities: the 'individual being', the universe or what we call reality and what lies beyond the universe. Metaphysics is the study of how and why the 'individual being', the universe, and what lies beyond the universe interact with each other. Metaphysics is the study of whether or not all three, or for that matter if any of the three, exist. Metaphysics is the study of how and why the three interact, if in fact they do exist. Metaphysics is the pondering over the questions: Where are we? What are we? Why do we exist? It could be argued that Descartes was one of its more prominent figures with his initiation of the concept of 'knowing', of existing, when he said 'Cogito, ergo sum' (I think, therefore I am). Or, as Popeye said "I yam wut I Yam".

There are many people who are secure in the knowledge that all is right with the world and they feel good about how they personally think about themselves and their soul. I confess I have a lot of confidence but I am not so certain about what the human experience really entails. I see so much more all the time. The adept disciplinarian is adaptable to all learning styles. They are consciously aware of the unconscious aspects of brain and soul interface. It is not easy for many people to understand their ability to integrate. It threatens the initiate who sees intellect as more meaningful than creative learning styles due to the emphasis of our Industrial Age (need for those who punch time clocks) educational impetus. But I also wonder how reading minds and caring so deeply for every aspect of life can be useful in a 'get yours' world. I can remember when my own linear-logical nature struggled to integrate this other way of learning. My ego fought against the more passive and nurturing feminine side of the equation.

The early quantum physicists like Nils Bohr were ridiculed by those who could not comprehend the majesty of their attempts to explain our reality. The debunker's inductive reasoning which imposes direct inferential theory upon nature has caused a setback that science has yet to overcome. Despite their stated fear of religion these theories are in fact doing what the Dark Ages did to sincere seekers of truth. It was the dawning of a New Age which revived ancient Chaos Science. Our whole computerized creative and productive world is largely a function of these 'atom-mysticists'. In response to that epithet they have driven the message home by showing over and over again that most know-nothing scientists are in cahoots with ignorance or worse. Michio Kaku of Hyperspace does it well.

These giants of intellect found the soul of the Mandukya Upanishads (Wigner) and the S-Matrix math in the Tao Te Ching (Capra). Heisenberg 'observed' as the cat appeared, or did not, depending on whether Schrödinger was there to witness. All Zen aficionados were overjoyed to see the Western predilection for linear thinking in boxes was being changed from within. A far greater amount of possibility-thinking and real independent inquiry has resulted. All theatres of thought are now called post-Modern by 'experts' in ivory towers who are usually wrong. Bohr said, 'A great truth has an opposite which is also true. A trivial truth has an opposite which is false.'

The idea that a fully diluted homeopathic tincture might heal through some imprint left by Cyanide found in peach pits or laetrile is just one of the conundrums that science still struggles to face. But the fact is cyanide kills cells and results have been achieved by some people who might have attuned themselves with that small amount of Cyanide that Japanese researchers found in peach pits after the US researchers said there was no possible agent that could kill cancer cells in peach pits. The implications of this extend to genetic rituals that modern science cannot see the effects of, and other energy lattice memory or Intelligence.

The Club of Rome is doing a lot of good analysis of issues and the need for multi-disciplinarian principles in a new technological era. Here is something they say which I heartily approve of.

"Systems of education are less and less adapted to the new issues, to the new emerging global society we are presently involved in. New priorities force us to redefine the role of education, which should be conceived as a permanent learning process. Transmission of knowledge is no longer sufficient, and new objectives such as developing one's own potential and creativity, or the capacity of adaptation to change are becoming essential in a rapidly changing world.

The Club of Rome considers that education is both part of the global problematique and also an essential tool to become an effective actor in control of one's own life and within society. If there are "Limits to Growth", there are "No Limits to Learning" (titles of two Reports to the Club of Rome)." (2)

I think that if we don't understand our past we are unlikely to build or create the Joy of Learning necessary to address the future. I also know that history has a bad habit of repeating itself and there are those who chose to tell us things about our past that are only going to help build their own power.

How Does Powerful Psychic Training Work?
by Per Hogseth


Psychic Training is a skill that first requires awareness of information. This means that the analysis of information must be so precise that the psychic is aware of all the factors involved in a reading.

Reading is a term used by many professionals and amateurs to indicate that the psychic is 'reading' the person or obtaining information feedback from normal or paranormal means. Once these factors are all in the psychic's mind, it will be possible to translate the knowledge into superior readings.

The simplest way to observe how this works is to compare the brain and it`s individual thought processes to the workings of a computer. To be simplistic, in essence the brain is a thought processor. Awareness of reality is only possible by the processing of information by the brain. Maximum awareness of all the realities to which we normally pay no attention is possible by training the brain to deliver greater or more detailed feedback of information.

First, the instructions in this book are the software program for the bio-computer, the brain. Since computers work in a logical, precise way, the instructions are presented in a realistic, logical manner.

This program requires the stripping away of illusion and looking at the bare facts: One plus one, equals two. Most psychic training programs try to imply that one plus one, equals three, which the mind rejects as illogical.

Second, the input hardware for the bio-computer is multidimensional. It is sensory input: seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting. The conscious mind is the input terminal that takes the information gathered by the senses and feeds it to the subconscious mind, which is the ultimate information storage unit.

The conscious mind serves a dual function. In the beginning it is an input system, but is also works as the output and retrieval system.

The longer the psychic works with the programming, the more adept will become the subconscious is often called intuition, ESP, or psychic communication.

Of course, the output of the psychic's bio-computer is not a soft or hard copy printout but rather the words he speaks, the reading.

If a person is sincere in using the methods of training or programming advocated by Powerful Psychic Training, he can be an extraordinary psychic. What is more, he will not be a fake. He will be great! He will be Real!

The information in this book concerns the methods of programming the personal bio-computer. For many, this will be the first time they have made realistic, conscious uses of these natural talents. Everyone uses this method to shape his personality skills and knowledge.

With Powerful Psychic Training is the awareness of what he is doing, the selecting of a program that will enrich his potential in interpersonal relationships, and the creation of marketable mental skills in a field which had previously been based either on haphazard luck or on consistent tricks.

There are no tricks in this learning. What will be learned here will concern the mental awareness of realities to demonstrate psychic insight as opposed to physical manipulation of apparatus to create illusion.

The Psychic Training is real magic in the tradition of the mystic. The added plus to our method concerns building the individual subconscious flare for entertainment that will elevate the psychic's skills to the level of superior, professional sensitivity above the person next door who just knows what is going to happen.

If and individual chooses not to use the methods for induction of information, he will still find the information accurate and useful. The present text relating to the processing of information to obtain the nucleus of the reading is valid even if you only want to use it in a limited way. However, it is an individual choice. One can be good, or one can be great. The amount of time it takes for success will be accelerated by the use of the suggested method. It does work.

The techniques have been tested and proved. They are basic yet they are sublime wisdom. If the individual approaches The Powerful Psychic Training with an open mind and a dedication, he will succeed. At this moment one cannot even imagine the ultimate degree of success that can be obtained.

To be paradoxical, it is not hard, but it is not easy. It is not hard because the information is simple. It is not easy in that it cannot be done overnight because it takes time to train the subconscious mind to accept and retrieve information correctly.

It is very much like touch-typing. At first, the typist will hunt and peck, but soon the fingers know what to do without being told on a conscious level. At first, the psychic will have to consciously search for the information for his reading, but soon he will burst forth with information automatically retrieved from the subconscious.

She/he will indeed be psychic!

General Tips for Seeking the Paranormal from Professional Ghost Hunters
by John Fair


There has been an enormous upsurge in the interest of paranormal phenomena in recent years. There have been many causes speculated, from the weakening of the base of traditional western Judeo-Christian spirituality to a reaction to the mobility of American society manifest as a longing to commune with long dead ancestors. While the psychologists and sociologists continue to debate the issue, the popularity of so called ghost hunting continues to rise. For those who believe in such paranormal phenomena and are seeking to strike out on their own, consider this advice from top ghost hunters.

First, be sure to receive training from qualified ghost hunters before striking out on your own. According to professional ghost hunters, those who attempt to make contact with spirits without being reasonably prepared are at a risk to incur damage, either physically or, more likely, psychologically. While some ghost hunters argue over whether or not spirits can physically harm humans, there is a strong consensus that an encounter for one who is not psychologically ready can leave lasting mental and emotional scars. Most physical injury is caused by amateur ghost hunters fleeing the scene in the dark and running into or tripping over unseen obstacles.

Seasoned ghost hunters suggest that you case the scene in the daylight before returning at night. Having a mental map of the area will help you to keep your bearings in the dark and can help you avoid injury. Ghost hunters say that knowing the lay of the land is also helpful in case the situation becomes uncomfortable and you feel the need to quickly retreat. Being certain of the path out of the encounter area can lead to a feeling of greater control over the situation and can reduce the feelings of fear and panic that can occur.
