I have been saying this my whole life: the evil deeds & schemes done by higher-ups in the real world beat the most well-written fictional storyline.
Missing fact on third video: Incidents of polio & measles went UP after the vaccines were introduced.
Wow! This monastery just took my breath away. Look how high up it is! I’d give so much to go there and see it for myself.
It looks like it’s time for an obligatory anti-television post. It has been experientially verified by myself & scientifically proven by many others that TV-viewing actively makes stupid people dumber & intelligent people less smart than they would have been otherwise:
Researcher Herbert Krugman conducted experiments in which he observed that, in people who are watching television, the right brain is twice as active as the left brain, a “neurological anomaly.” The crossover from left to right brain releases endorphins, the body’s form of opiates, which are also released during such activities as cracking one’s knuckles, strenuous exercise (”runner’s high”) and orgasm.
The body suffers withdrawal symptoms when a regular endorphin-releasing habit is ceased. This has been proven to occur with television watchers in several studies. For example, a West German study had 182 people agree to stop watching television for a year (and get paid for their trouble). None of them made it longer than six months and, Moore says, “…all showed the symptoms of opiate withdrawal: increased anxiety, frustration and depression.”
When you are watching television, your higher brain regions (the neocortex and midbrain, for example) shut down, and activity shifts to the lower brain. The function of the lower brain, or “reptile brain,” is reactive — it merely responds to stimuli (the “fight or flight” response).
Also, it cannot distinguish between real and fabricated images, which is the job of the neocortex, so it reacts to television events and images as though they were real (releasing appropriate hormones, etc.).
Yes, a person watching inordinate amounts of television will likely experience withdrawal after significantly decreasing viewing time. Unfortunately, it does get worse:
Krugman’s research also supported the theory that television watching “numbs” the left brain and shifts activity to the right, sometimes PERMANENTLY. This is an ominous thought, as the left brain handles the organization, analysis and judgment of incoming data. The consequences of this could be quite severe; long-term television watchers could find their judgment severely impaired, for example, and children plopped in front of televisions for hours every day might see their brains’ development altered.
1) Why do governments CHOOSE to borrow money from private banks at interest when gov’t could create all the interest-free money it needs, itself?
2) Why create money as debt? Why not create money that circulates permanently?
3) How can a money system dependent on perpetually accelerating growth be used to build a sustainable economy?
4) What needs to be changed about the economy?
Please share your answers/thoughts after viewing the video.
A light breeze. Rustling leaves. A trickling brook. Bird song in a sunlit forest in the hours of the evening…
To listen to the gentle sounds of life brings a peace to the soul that washes away all stress and illumines the dark recesses of the mind. Everything is quiet except for the soft music of nature. It is a song untamed by the ways of the world. It is a song that can be as violent as the waves on a stormy night or as calm as a dew-laden meadow at dawn. It is a song that revolves around the tranquility of an innocent existence. It is free.
The definition of true peace lies only in the soul of a creature. Peace can be written in stories and poems but its home doesn’t reside there. Only where a being cherishes its deepest feelings of joy and pain can peace be at rest. Somewhere between or inside those two opposite sides it exists. Not only does peace live there but it brings joy and anguish together, calming the feud between them. The creature then knows the quietness of a mind at rest. The conflicting feelings have made armistice and have become one. This is true peace, the most intense existences living in harmony as a single sentiment.
Just listening to the sounds of nature can quell the fury of a mind at war. Not only are these small sounds a commodity of nature but a song. It is an ongoing song that is wild and free, completely unaffected by the disturbances of a human world. One can let go of all the conflicts of their heart and soar into the serene music. In this music there is no time, no burden and no pain. In this song there is no end, the delicate notes stretching into an eternity and beyond. It never pauses but somehow, thousands of tortured spirits are relieved and swept along with the soothing yet unbridled wind of the song.
Even the smallest vibration of this melody can put to sleep the most turbulent feelings and let free the imprisoned being, who for ages has been lashed by terrible passions and painful memories. This melody represents something somber and quiet, yet rampant and profound. By the very stirring of nature, true peace is finally reached.
Here are the personal health issues that I would like to study this summer. If a special someone (wink) would like to share the workload with me that would be great, but I feel a urgent demand to do some research for the sake of my own health & those I care for. I will edit this post in the future as I acquire more information.
1) Vaccines
Before moving off to school I received a “Meningitis vaccine” only later to discover that the strain of the disease that college students were actually becoming infected with is NOT included in the shot! What a racket! I would also like to learn more about the other disturbing claims that I have heard about vaccines: the high levels of mercury, material from aborted babies, etc. I already suspect most of the pressure to vaccinate is motivated by greed and facilitated by deception. I believe that there may be a link between vaccines & increased rates of autoimmune diseases, cancer & diabetes.
2) Milk
I want to know the effects of pasteurization, growth hormones given to cows, Do you believe that drinking lots of milk for years & years will prevent osteoporosis? Well, unfortunately that’s a lie. A simple proof is that the “dairy countries” in Europe have the highest rates of osteoporosis & that the East Asian countries with low levels of dairy consumption have far lower rates.
3) Water Fluoridation
It’s a well-known fact that in the United States fluoride (marked as “poison” on your toothpaste) was added to public drinking water following the Second World War. It is supposed to make us have “stronger teeth,” but is this true & what are the health-implications of this substance?
