POST 104. (UPDATE MOTHER RUSSIA)99 C.

Hey again. I know I am labouring this issue. We have to stand up for Mother Earth. One Mother to another Mother Russia.
“The criminal activity I am blamed for is called journal

ism. I will keep doing it.” - Denis Sinyakov, freelance photographer aboard the Arctic Sunrise when it was seized 8 days ago.
Hi Geoff,
I was shocked to see pictures of Denis behind bars in the Russian courtroom yesterday. I'm a freelance photographer too and I was about to replace him when the ship reached the next port. But now Denis is being held in jail for another 2 months, without charge.
Yesterday, the Arctic 30 appeared before a court in Murmansk, Russia. No charges were laid, but all 30 are still being detained. 22 people are being held for two months as Russian authorities pursue an investigation around piracy charges. Eight people are being held for three days awaiting a new hearing.
The Russian authorities are punishing those who have risked their liberty to highlight the madness of Arctic oil, while protecting the fossil fuel industry. It should be the other way around.
Join me in central London, October 5, as part of worldwide event to free the Arctic 30. Sign up to get an SMS or email with more details of the time and place.
I am relieved to see people all around the world speaking out in support my friends. Russian newspapers are blanking out images on their webpages to draw attention to it. Together we’ve sent over half a million messages to Russian embassies worldwide. We’ve made global headlines. Now we need to show our determination on the street.
Today I went to the Russian embassy in London with my young son (pictured). I met his mother onboard the Arctic Sunrise four years ago. We all visited the ship again just a few months back. Some of the crew are like part of our family now: people like Haussy (the ship's electrician from New Zealand), 'Big John' (outboard mechanic from Tonga), and Paul (first mate from Canada). It's upsetting to think I was saying goodbye to them on the quayside in Norway only last month. Now they are facing up to two months in a Russian jail without charge.
I could have been behind bars in that courtroom yesterday. But instead I can stand with my brave colleagues and show them that they're not alone. Join me in standing up for the Arctic 30 on October 5. We must show the world that blatant intimidation will not succeed.
I’ll do anything I can to get these guys home as soon as possible. Thanks for being there with me.

The UK’s Propose d Ban on Esoteric Knowledge: Why Institutions Seek to Limit Access to Information 

I want to say I completely understand the UK government’s proposition to ban websites that contain esoteric knowledge. Esoteric knowledge would enable people to rise up from the ghastly and exhausting fear that leads them to tolerate the institutional ‘war economy’ and all its literal and figurative nuclear fallout. The only way that lending more rights to institutions will be tolerated by the masses is if they limit individual access to information.
When minds start to wander, they start to wonder. And if they wonder with esoteric knowledge or developed consciousness, people would be less likely to resign themselves to the physical world and the controlling institutions thereof. When people become aware of esoteric knowledge and esoteric viewpoints, institutional control becomes secondary. When people start to think for themselves they don’t resign themselves to institutional format and command, and might start to recognize When people start to think for themselves they can understanding the moral and legal divergence, and not simply follow and enforce “the rules” like institutional tools.

The Arab Spring can be described aptly in the words of author David Icke, “It is people with brown faces being played off against people with brown faces, so that people with white faces can steal their land.” That is what we are seeing, and Syria is just another step in a long-planned series of countries being hijacked and taken over, with the Arab Spring as the front, the excuse and the cover.
This is a sequence of events that has been long planned.
A piece of background to this is as follows. General Wesley Clark is a former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO. He said in a television interview in 2007 that the following happened when he visited the pentagon just days after 9/11:  Quote from WAKEUP-WORLD.

40 per cent of medical practices and drugs are useless, says major review
23 September 2013
I have great respect for the medical fraternity and soon I might have a procedure to restore my sight.  Good when they are good and obstinate when they do not recognise complimentary applications.
Around 40 per cent of medical procedures and drugs—such as COX-2 painkillers, stents for coronary artery disease and HRT—have never worked and should be stopped, a major review of current practices has concluded.
The practices “were instituted in error, never helped patients and have eroded trust in medicine,” says Dr Vinay Prasad, a chief fellow of America’s National Cancer Institute. They also take up valuable resources and money.
In reviewing 363 studies on established medical practices, Dr Prasad found that just 38 per cent were proven to be beneficial; 22 per cent were inconclusive and 40 per cent were not helping the patient.
Examples of useless practices included:
• Stents for stable coronary disease
HRT (hormone replacement therapy) for post-menopausal women to help prevent heart disease
• Pulmonary artery catheters for patients in shock
• The drug, aprotinin, in cardiac surgery
• The COX-2 painkillers

A healthy immune system is vital for keeping us alive and well—and the best way to keep it in top condition is by eating plenty of red grapes and blueberries, a new study has found.
The two fruits stand out from the crowd when it comes to boosting our immune system, say researchers from the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. Their active ingredients—resveratrol in red grapes and pterostilbene in blueberries—are compounds known as stilbenoids that work in synergy with vitamin D to feed the immune function.
Many fruits were tested, but the researchers said it was the grapes and blueberries that “popped right out”, they said. Their discovery could lead to special immune-boosting supplements and even topical applications to treat wounds and infections.

Alien Bugs' Discovered In Earth's Atmosphere

British scientists believe they have found small bugs from outer space in the Earth's atmosphere.
Tiny organisms were discovered by University of Sheffield experts on a research balloon they had sent 27km (16.7 miles) into the atmosphere during last month's Perseids meteor shower.
The microscopic bugs were detected when the balloon landed back on the ground in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.
But the scientists insist the samples could not have been carried from the Earth's surface into the stratosphere - the second layer of our atmosphere, which stretches up to 50km (31 miles) from the ground.
I was writing about this in energygrid years back when I met Sir Fred Hoyle and Crick and Watson. I have recently read this in two books by David Wilcock ' The Source Field Investigations' and his latest 'The Synchronicity Key' .
With all due respect to David and the British scientists who are about 20 years behind this discovery and David who claims some of the revelations as an ah ha, he is slightly out of date as well.  However, applause to David who has correlated so much into two massive volumes.  Well worth purchasing the books as they are an encyclopaedia of the latest and best research with his speculations thrown in.  I missed the boat and should have published my own research, however, good luck and best wishes, I could not have done the monumental work that David has done. 
David Wilcock. Fabulous two books.

AURORA SURPRISE: Last night in Norway, compass needles swung 1o away from normal and electric currents began to flow through the ground. For nearly an hour, a local geomagnetic storm occured over the northern part of the country. Rob Stammes recorded the phenomenon from his laboratory at the Polarlightcenter in Lofoten:
"Early on the evening of September 23th, I noticed these strong magnetic and induced earth current variations on my instruments," says Stammes. "At the same time, strong auroras appeared outside our center. The Northern Lights were a nice surprise for our guests."
The display might be related to the approach of a solar wind stream Earth is entering now. Measurements from the ACE spacecraft indicate that the solar wind is quickening, and this is causing magnetic disturbances around the poles on Sept. 24th. Arctic sky watchers should remain alert for auroras.  Courtesy Spaceweather.com and Rob Stammes.

Common drug increases fatal heart attack risk by 72 per cent
24 September 2013
One of the world’s most common heart drugs that has been used for years increases the risk of a fatal heart attack by 72 per cent, a new study has found this week. 
Digoxin, the active ingredient found in around 40 prescription drugs, increases the risk in people who have suffered systolic heart failure. Digoxin is derived from digitalis, a plant that has been used for more than 200 years to treat heart failure, yet, despite its longterm use, researchers have discovered only this week that it can be fatal.
 
Those most at risk have suffered systolic heart failure, where the left heart ventricle fails to pump blood properly. Any heart drug that includes digoxin can increase the risk of a fatal heart attack by 72 per cent, say researchers from the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research. They made the discovery after they tracked the health of 2,891 adults who had suffered systolic heart failure, 18 per cent of whom were prescribed digoxin.
 
The researchers say that doctors should consider using a safer drug.
 
(Source: Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, 2013; 6: 525).
People over the age of 70 are far more likely to suffer a fatal heart attack – but that risk can be halved by taking two supplements, researchers have discovered this week.
Coenzyme Q10 and selenium yeast supplements reduce the heart attack risk in the elderly by around 50 per cent, say researchers from Linkoping University in Sweden.  

They gave 433 people, aged from 70 years upwards, the supplements or ‘dummy’ placebo pills every day for five years.  At the end of the trial, 5.9 per cent of those given the supplements had died from cardiovascular disease compared to 12.9 per cent of those taking the dummy pills.
Coenzyme Q10, or ubiquinone, helps to convert fats, carbohydrates and protein into energy; selenium is a trace element that supports around 25 different proteins in the body.  Most Northern Europeans are depleted in levels of selenium, which some scientists believe is a major cause of cardiovascular disease.
For the study, the researchers used the selenium supplement, SelenoPrecise 200 mg, and coenzyme Q10, Bio-Quinone Q10 100mg twice a day.  Both supplements are made by Pharma-Nord.

Healthy diet overwrites genetic code for chronic disease
24 September 2013
Good news for anyone with a family history of heart disease and stroke—you can change your genetic inheritance with a healthy diet, say researchers. 
A Mediterranean diet—which includes olive oil, fish, complex carbohydrates and nuts—can overwrite genetic codes that dramatically increase the risk for heart disease and stroke, say researchers at Tufts University.
 
They made the discovery while testing the impact of several diets—the Mediterranean and a low-fat diet—on around 7,000 men and women, and how it affected their chances of developing heart disease over a five-year period. But around 900 of the participants had genetic variations that made them more susceptible for heart disease, and which is usually preceded by type 2 diabetes. However, the increased risk was eliminated in those who were eating the Mediterranean diet; it put them “on an even playing field with everyone else”, one of the researchers said.
 
(Source: Diabetes Care, 2013; doi: 10.2337/dc13-0955)
 
In India, as many as 10 per cent of the affluent urban upper classes now fall victim to coronary artery disease, a figure approaching the levels of their counterparts in the more developed countries.
This compares with a 3 per cent rate of CAD in rural India and a mere 1 per cent among the poor.
It’s no surprise that the culprit has been identified as diet and lifestyle. In developed countries, where cheap food tends to be high in fats and low in nutrients, it is the poor that have the highest rates of CAD. By contrast, in India, the cheapest food tends to be cereals and grains, providing an explanation for why the poor have the lowest rates of CAD.
Indian doctors have now tested two remedial diets on a thousand well-to-do CAD patients. The first diet was a version of the ‘official’ US anticholesterol diet, consisting of low-fat, low-cholesterol foods - although, in this case, slightly adapted for Indian tastebuds. The second was based on the Mediterranean diet, containing fruit, vegetables, nuts, wholegrains and soy bean oil - resulting in a high intake of alpha-linoleic acid.
The health outcomes of the two diets were dramatically different. People following the Mediterranean-type diet had half the number of adverse heart symptoms, and only 12 per cent of them died of heart attacks compared with 32 per cent of those on the low-cholesterol diet. Even by the crude measure of blood cholesterol, the Mediterranean diet scored better, with the low-fat diet paradoxically having higher cholesterol levels (Lancet, 2002; 360: 1455-61).

Highly toxic squalene MF59 adjuvant that caused Gulf War syndrome in military servicemen now being added to some civilian flu vaccines

 more: http://www.naturalnews.com/042241_Gulf_War_syndrome_flu_vaccines_MF59.html#ixzz2g59I3FNb
Apart from fluoride, aspartame, and the poisons that are well known MF 59  or squalene in its adjutant form is deadly, real, real deadly. 


ccording to Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the NVIC, none of the H1N1 vaccines being distributed in the United States contain squalene or other oil in water adjuvants.
We successfully made enough fuss about the potential danger of fast tracking licensure of squalene adjuvants into US H1N1 vaccines under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) that can be invoked during a declared public health emergency that the FDA has NOT licensed these adjuvants for the U.S.
There is squalene in H1N1 vaccines licensed in Europe but not yet in the U.S. That is not to say the vaccine manufacturers will not try to get the adjuvants inserted into vaccines in the future, but for now we have won on this point.
According to Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, your children should be the first target for mass swine flu vaccinations when school starts this fall.[i]
This is a ridiculous assumption for many reasons, not to mention extremely high risk.
In Australia, where the winter season has begun, Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon is reassuring parents the swine flu is no more dangerous than regular seasonal flu. "Most people, including children, will experience very mild symptoms and recover without any medical intervention," she said.[ii]
Sydney-based immunization specialist Robert Booy predicts swine flu might be fatal to about twice as many children in the coming year as regular influenza. Booy estimates 10-12 children could die from the H1N1 virus, compared with the five or six regular flu deaths seen among children in an average year in Australia.[iii]
"Cure the Disease, Kill the Patient"
Less than 100 children in the U.S. die each year from seasonal flu viruses.[iv] If we use Australia's math, a very rough estimate would be another 100 children could potentially die of swine flu in the United States in the coming year.
If children are the first target group in the U.S. per Sebelius, that means we're about to inject around 75 million children with a fast tracked vaccine containing novel adjuvants, including dangerous squalene, to prevent perhaps 100 deaths.
I'm not overlooking the tragedy of the loss of even one child to an illness like the H1N1 flu virus. But there can be no argument that unnecessary mass injection of millions of children with a vaccine containing an adjuvant known to cause a host of debilitating autoimmune diseases is a reckless, dangerous plan.
Why are Vaccinations Dangerous?
The presumed intent of a vaccination is to help you build immunity to potentially harmful organisms that cause illness and disease. However, your body's immune system is already designed to do this in response to organisms which invade your body naturally.
Most disease-causing organisms enter your body through the mucous membranes of your nose, mouth, pulmonary system or your digestive tract – not through an injection.
These mucous membranes have their own immune system, called the IgA immune system. It is a different system from the one activated when a vaccine is injected into your body.
Your IgA immune system is your body's first line of defense. Its job is to fight off invading organisms at their entry points, reducing or even eliminating the need for activation of your body's immune system.
When a virus is injected into your body in a vaccine, and especially when combined with an immune adjuvant like squalene, your IgA immune system is bypassed and your body's immune system kicks into high gear in response to the vaccination.
Injecting organisms into your body to provoke immunity is contrary to nature, and vaccination carries enormous potential to do serious damage to your health.
And as if Vaccines Weren't Dangerous Enough on Their Own …
… imagine them turbocharged.
The main ingredient in a vaccine is either killed viruses or live ones that have been attenuated (weakened and made less harmful).
Flu vaccines can also contain a number of chemical toxins, including ethylene glycol (antifreeze), formaldehyde, phenol (carbolic acid) and even antibiotics like Neomycin and streptomycin.
In addition to the viruses and other additives, many vaccines also contain immune adjuvants like aluminum and squalene.
The purpose of an immune adjuvant added to a vaccine is to enhance (turbo charge) your immune response to the vaccination. Adjuvants cause your immune system to overreact to the introduction of the organism you're being vaccinated against.
Adjuvants are supposed to get the job done faster (but certainly not more safely), which reduces the amount of vaccine required per dose, and the number of doses given per individual.
Less vaccine required per person means more individual doses available for mass vaccination campaigns. Coincidentally, this is exactly the goal of government and the pharmaceutical companies who stand to make millions from their vaccines.
Will There Be Immune Adjuvants in Swine Flu Vaccines?
The U.S. government has contracts with several drug companies to develop and produce swine flu vaccines. At least two of those companies, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline, are using an adjuvant in their H1N1 vaccines.
The adjuvant? Squalene.
According to Meryl Nass, M.D., an authority on the anthrax vaccine,
"A novel feature of the two H1N1 vaccines being developed by companies Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline is the addition of squalene-containing adjuvants to boost immunogenicity and dramatically reduce the amount of viral antigen needed. This translates to much faster production of desired vaccine quantities."[v]
Novartis's proprietary squalene adjuvant for their H1N1 vaccine is MF59. Glaxo's is ASO3. MF59 has yet to be approved by the FDA for use in any U.S. vaccine, despite its history of use in other countries.
Per Dr. Nass, there are only three vaccines in existence using an approved squalene adjuvant. None of the three are approved for use in the U.S.
What Squalene Does to Rats
Oil-based vaccination adjuvants like squalene have been proved to generate concentrated, unremitting immune responses over long periods of time.[vi]
A 2000 study published in the American Journal of Pathology demonstrated a single injection of the adjuvant squalene into rats triggered "chronic, immune-mediated joint-specific inflammation," also known as rheumatoid arthritis.[vii]
The researchers concluded the study raised questions about the role of adjuvants in chronic inflammatory diseases.
What Squalene Does to Humans
Your immune system recognizes squalene as an oil molecule native to your body. It is found throughout your nervous system and brain. In fact, you can consume squalene in olive oil and not only will your immune system recognize it, you will also reap the benefits of its antioxidant properties.
The difference between "good" and "bad" squalene is the route by which it enters your body. Injection is an abnormal route of entry which incites your immune system to attack all the squalene in your body, not just the vaccine adjuvant.
Your immune system will attempt to destroy the molecule wherever it finds it, including in places where it occurs naturally, and where it is vital to the health of your nervous system.[viii]
Gulf War veterans with Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) received anthrax vaccines which contained squalene.[ix] MF59 (the Novartis squalene adjuvant) was an unapproved ingredient in experimental anthrax vaccines and has since been linked to the devastating autoimmune diseases suffered by countless Gulf War vets.[x]
The Department of Defense made every attempt to deny that squalene was indeed an added contaminant in the anthrax vaccine administered to Persian Gulf war military personnel – deployed and non-deployed – as well as participants in the more recent Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program (AVIP).
However, the FDA discovered the presence of squalene in certain lots of AVIP product. A test was developed to detect anti-squalene antibodies in GWS patients, and a clear link was established between the contaminated product and all the GWS sufferers who had been injected with the vaccine containing squalene.
A study conducted at Tulane Medical School and published in the February 2000 issue of Experimental Molecular Pathologyincluded these stunning statistics:
" … the substantial majority (95%) of overtly ill deployed GWS patients had antibodies to squalene. All (100%) GWS patients immunized for service in Desert Shield/Desert Storm who did not deploy, but had the same signs and symptoms as those who did deploy, had antibodies to squalene.
In contrast, none (0%) of the deployed Persian Gulf veterans not showing signs and symptoms of GWS have antibodies to squalene. Neither patients with idiopathic autoimmune disease nor healthy controls had detectable serum antibodies to squalene. The majority of symptomatic GWS patients had serum antibodies to squalene."[xi]
According to Dr. Viera Scheibner, Ph.D., a former principle research scientist for the government of Australia:
"… this adjuvant [squalene] contributed to the cascade of reactions called "Gulf War Syndrome," documented in the soldiers involved in the Gulf War.
The symptoms they developed included arthritis, fibromyalgia, lymphadenopathy, rashes, photosensitive rashes, malar rashes, chronic fatigue, chronic headaches, abnormal body hair loss, non-healing skin lesions, aphthous ulcers, dizziness, weakness, memory loss, seizures, mood changes, neuropsychiatric problems, anti-thyroid effects, anaemia, elevated ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Raynaud's phenomenon, Sjorgren's syndrome, chronic diarrhoea, night sweats and low-grade fevers."[xii]
Post Vaccination Follow-Up Might as Well Be Non-Existent
There is virtually no science to support the safety of vaccine injections on your long-term health or the health of your children. Follow-up studies last on average about two weeks, and look only for glaring injuries and illnesses.
Autoimmune disorders like those seen in Gulf War Syndrome frequently take years to diagnose due to the vagueness of early symptoms. Complaints like headaches, fatigue and chronic aches and pains are symptoms of many different illnesses and diseases.
Don't hold your breath waiting for vaccine purveyors and proponents to look seriously at the long-term health consequences of their vaccination campaigns.
What You Can Do Right Now
Visit the National Vaccination Information Center (NVIC) site and join in the fight against mandatory swine flu vaccinations.
Educate yourself about influenza strains, vaccination risks, and the public health laws in your state that may require you or your children to undergo either mandatory vaccination or quarantine.
Take care of your health to reduce or eliminate your risk of contracting the flu. The key is to keep your immune system strong by following these guidelines:

POST 102 UPDATE FROM POST 99 A (99 B)

Hello.  Fighting on behalf of Mother Earth.  Update from Greenpeace.

            Russian special forces confronting Greenpeace activists 

Hi Geoff,
It's incredibly busy here - and a little bit stressful - in the London office as everyone's working to free our friends and colleagues. Here's a quick update on our situation:
The Arctic Sunrise arrived in the Russian port of Murmansk yesterday, after being towed there by the Russian security services over the weekend. During the journey our 30 activists remained under armed guard. When they arrived they were granted consular access, with diplomats from some countries being allowed to board the ship to meet them and see the conditions they were being held in. Some of them were allowed to use consular staff phones to call family.
As far as we are aware, the activists are all in good health and their morale is high.
Last night they were taken from the ship to the ‘Investigative headquarters’ in Murmansk and some were questioned. They are currently being detained in Murmansk and do not all have access to lawyers.
The investigation is still on-going and no formal charges have been laid. Rumours in the media that our activists may get charged with piracy - and face up to 15 year sentences - were dispelled when Russian President Vladimir Putin said this morning that they were 'obviously not pirates'. Unfortunately, Putin also said that in his view we had ‘broken international law’, so serious charges may still follow.
Needless to say, the only criminals here are Gazprom, who along with Shell are risking the fragile Arctic environment and our shared global climate to make a quick buck.
We know that governments will go to extreme lengths to protect the fossil fuel industry. This morning we discovered this dramatic video released by the Russian authorities showing the special forces confronting Marco, Sini and others at Gazprom's oil rig. Please watch itand share as widely as you can on Facebook and Twitter.
'm working with everyone here around the clock to ensure the safe return of our peaceful activists.
Please keep doing all you can to pressure the Russian embassy by asking your friends and family to email the Ambassador:
Thanks for all the kind words and support,
Ian

POST 101

Namaste.  The beauty of this posture and greeting touches me.
May I have the honour of greeting you dear readers in such a manner.
I usually bow the head and sometimes I feel so touched by the greeting my eyes close and my body slightly inclines.  Beautiful
The next few paragraphs I will wax philosophical. I do trust you can bear with me on this, as I return to some of my favourite topics.
The Art of Emptiness as fulfilment.
By emptiness I am not meaning vagrancy, stupidity dullness or any kind of hypnotic mentality, trance, obsessiveness, mantra, prayer or other metal, psychological mentation.  Here it is an experience of the absence of thought in an alert dynamic mode of consciousness. It has feeling.  The feeling of completeness, lightness of spirit, inner dynamic peace, not a soporific induced sluggishness. One feels whole and connected to the all in all.  Thinking becomes almost obsolete and is employed for day to day processes.  
One seems to act more spontaneously and not to be confused with impulse and habit.   More sychronicity (the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection:)       
 Seems to replace logical deduction, although linear thinking is used when intuitively recognised.
(using or based on what one feels to be true even without conscious reasoning; instinctive:- intuitively)
The egoistic mind, that which has been conditioned, programmed and brainwashed, builds up a library which can adapt, juxtapose, and make every permutation and computation which can appear to be intuition and is named fools intuition, so much meditation is needed in order to clear the 'mind' of its hard drive wiring. It can be done. 
The Programming
The Brain Computer

Many would argue and discuss it is not possible to override, go beyond the brain and its mere electrical function in the skull, the local mind, yet there is current research not regarded by neuroscientists as possible and like the NDE, telepathy and so forth can be explained by science.  However on experiencing the NO MIND of meditation without blanking or compressing the awareness, one finds it is an experience of complete joy, beyond rapture and happiness.  This when lived in conscious a- wakefulness,  becomes The Art Of Emptiness as Fulfilment.
LIVING FOR NO REASON
On the surface this may seem boring, vegetative, non ambitious, a lay about type, a simpleton and a moronic attitude to Life.

Should one attain the emptiness as above, then all outside form is recognised as transient and impermanent, so making one's outside form as the means for living, the reason for living, sport, business, family, friends, a hobby, religion, one's body becomes a depressing fear when that 'outside' form has gone. Withdrawal symptoms, depression, addiction issues ensue and one can crave, feel lost when puts 'all one's eggs in one basket' so to speak. The only reason one has to be living is the joy that permeates one's being, and as this is spontaneous and all consuming, there is no need to cling to an outside form for the reason to live, to be alive. Yet one can enjoy all relationships with everything without attachment this is not an excuse to abandon responsibility and honour. It is achieved in a different mode of being.

Here one sees and perceives the world without the centre plate being tarnished with programmes, conditioning and brain washing. The only data on the plate which says 'my senses' are the programmes for every day living, otherwise the mind remains uncluttered. 

The window cleaner instrument is meditation, awareness without bias, watching without judgement, observation without opinion, looking inwards without intention, alert and aware without motive. Here the grime and crud in the mind is seen and let go, not retained, not sent way, just let go without interest of the data or emotional content.

Eventually the mind is cleared and one sees the sky as sky, no backdrop thoughts like a lovely sky, reminds me of the sky in Scotland at odd intervals. It is a clear perception without the distortion, filtering, editing, judging and is seen for what is a sky.

The essence of the form is relayed to the consciousness, and then comes the startling revelation, the sky and oneself are one. We are the space where that sky arose in. It is here that ones sees / perceives / intuits truth. For truth is what is without editing or agenda. Truth is the nakedness, the primal, pristine form of what is.
Life then is perceived as a fundamental primal awareness, the nakedness of a pure mind, an untarnished awareness. 

Many Masters have said this in their wisdom.  Krishnamurti said  ' It is in the mirror of relationships one finds oneself '.  

The shadows of the past recede and we open to the light, which to me is the letting go of thought images as we sit in the silence of ourselves, as the mist of feelings with bodily sensations fall away, it does literally become bright in the mind so to speak, as if one's brain lights up. 



 Apologies about quality, it is a very old document
Then text reads:-
When you meditate changes occur in the
brain's activity, causing feelings of
relaxation and oneness' with the universe.
Now researchers at the University of
Pennsylvania reveal what is actually going on
within the brain during meditation.
Dr Andrew Newberg and his team studied
eight Tibetan Buddhist monks during
meditation, using a brain imaging technique
called SPECT (single photon emission
tomography) which shows the brain's activity
in real time' by injecting a special chemical
that reveals blood flow patterns.
They found increased activity in the brain's
frontal lobe (the area concerned with focused
attention) and decreased activity in the
parietal lobe, which controls orientation. The
Science
latter finding may explain why people lose
their sense of space and time during
meditation. Similar results have been found
with other spiritual practices; the Pennsylvania
team have also looked at brain activity in a
group of Franciscan nuns engaged in prayer.
"The results from this research have
implications about meditative and spiritual
states; how such states are experienced and
how they affect human beings," says Dr
Newberg. "The work also serves as a window
into the study of human consciousness, 'as
well as a link to clinical research that has
shown various physical and psychological
effects, usually beneficial, associated with
spiritual or religious practice."

With the experience of the light and joy, with many excursions to this realm of being, relaxation occurs and many anxieties seem insignificant after a while. One realises the concern of an outcome but the anxious content seems to evaporate.  One acts and not reacts. Because the senses mirror or window as above are clear of fear the action is appropriate to the need. Not panic which leads to a reaction from the past.  The event is not seen clearly but through the graphics and distortion of the past.  One reacts from trauma. I can see clearly how my mind jumps and panics and as I watch this quietly now, less fear creeps into the witnessing and a cooler 'head' seems present.  One begins to realise that the linear sequential logical mind needs a reason, a formulae, a plan, there must be a reason.  Suddenly we ponder the imponderable. Why am I here? Who Created God? If there isn't a God or some Intelligence what's the point in Living, I need a reason.  


No I still need a reason.
Now I am going crazy.  I know I'll become a scientist and put in a mathematical algorithm, no a priest and I believe in God with blind faith, Oh I don't know, I well sort of still want to know.  
Then we go through the I don't care, I'm agnostic, an atheist, a don't notheist, I'll try yoga, mysticism, Tai Chi, SEX, at least when I have an orgasm or get pissed or high, it doesn't seem to matter at all. That's the answer.  You see as there is no answer to the chicken thing, I might as well just be anything, there's no after life, reincarnation, so what the heck.  I know logically the sun, moon and stars and the whole darn lot will go, and yet a star explodes and reinvents itself out of the debris, you know the whole astronomy bit, I know life as I know it, is transient, impermanent so what ----!!! Now I'm really confused why should I really care, yet its nagging me.  I know deep down there is an answer, I'll keep digging. Wait a minute there's a great film on the box tonight, and that sizzling dishy waitress is gorgeous.  I do like that Buddhist Monk he looks so cool, cosmic and far out. Hey the European footballs on now, must go. This is driving me crackers.  I STILL WANT TO KNOW  ERH!! There just be, just be a reason, its because I haven't found it yet
Then like a friend of mine who used to go to a tennis club in her lunch breaks and just sit behind the courts by a small chortling brook and eat her sandwiches.  We used to share the above topics in the late 60's when we went to teach Judo. She was not a meditater and I was.  One day in the summer she was charmed by the river and had been for years, this day she felt swallowed up by the chortling, softly singing brook as she was nonchalantly eating her meal. She suddenly felt her mind just relax, open and all the questions above just didn't exist any-more. She had personal issues in her marriage, her finances and so on, they were still there but she did not feel anxious and a permanent joy seemed to permeate her mind, sometime it left but the turn around was quicker.  We lost touch a few years back, I have heard through the grapevine, she now lives on her own, is a mystic so I have been told and many come as individuals to her door way out in the countryside in Alaska.  She has asked me through the grapevine to not reveal her exact residence but to share her story if I wished.  By the way all her original problems of the 60's melted away in just two years, she said her secret was to let the fear go and something flows in to keep one calm and it mysteriously in its own time gets sorted.  The secret she said was to be joyfully alive without reason. And here I am the kosher Buddhist Zen or something meditater still on the train, somehow feeling I'm getting off at the last stop as I have been through the crazy, for me the way is appearing to live without reason and for my scientific forensic astro- biologist poster blogger mind this is a worthy goal. The goal of no goal.
Dear Folks do you have a reason to be alive.  
Be Well, Be Alive. Geoff
Hi Geoff,
It’s been 100 hours since we heard from Alex. A colleague and a friend, is one of 30 people being held prisoner aboard the Arctic Sunrise. Alex was one of the three activists who locked themselves in the communications room to get the message out, right before armed forces broke in and cut our contact with the ship.
Russian media have reported that the Arctic Sunrise will be towed into the port of Murmansk on Tuesday. The activists have not been formally charged with anything yet. Let's use these last few critical hours to pressure the Russian authorities to release Alex and the 29 others.
Please send an urgent email to the Russian embassy to release our activists. More than 300,000 have been sent already, and every message counts.
Seizing our ship in international waters is illegal. And the detention of peaceful protestors without charge is wrong. But it’s not too late for the Russian authorities to set them free.
Instead of protecting Arctic oil drillers, governments around the world should be protecting us from the threat that companies like Gazprom and Shell pose to us all.
Alex risked her liberty for all of us, now it’s time for us to stand up for her and help free the Arctic 30.
Ian and the friends and family at Greenpeace
Namaste Alex.  You love Mother Earth as I do and you deserve a huge NAMASTE. Thank you for risking your life for us and our Mother.  You did what I cannot do and for that heartfelt thanks dear Alex.
