This video is striking because of the highish quality and lack of camera shake 
which is so usual with amateur recordings, particularily at night.
Regarding your question these Motherships usually comes from either Mars or 
Venus. According to Benjamin Creme most of these ships are constructed on Mars, 
even though they might be used by Spacebrothers from Venus. And no matter what 
Hollywood wants you to believe; these UFO's and our Spacebrothers manning them 
are not only harmless but are doing humanity a great service by cleaning up 
nuclear radiation and other unseen pollution on this planet.

My guess is that we are alone as humans with a civilization. That is
what makes us unique - we have self-consciousness and intelligence.
Considering the age of the universe, we should have been at least
visited by now, if not colonized ourselves. According to the Fermi
Paradox, it should not have taken 80 billion years for other life to
have been evolved. And, thus we should have at least seen some
visitors. So far there has been no evidence of any intelligent life
out there and there probably never will be, unless we clone
ourselves and discover a parallel universe that is close enough for
us to levitate to.

Hi
I agree the Aliens are cleaning our atmosphere, I had some photos sent to me 
for analysis, taken near Derby, England 2011.
The first is a Mothership and then a closeup.
The person was taking pics of chemtrails, the "flak" of which always appears 
purple when analysed (true colour)

When the closeup is processed an outline towards the Mothership can clearly be 
seen and what appears to be energy striations.
I attached a few chemtrail photos just to show the fallout.
Happy breathing,

John

Hi
I think you have hit the spot, this world is more than enough for most people 
so to contend with - additional data may be overwhelming.
I have realised that people are limited by their intelligence and this affects 
their ability to imagine the improbable - as Einstein advocated.
If its not in the box it can't exist. What small minds we have.
My other interests are electronics, cold fusion and HHO., Chemtrails, Full 
Spectrum Cameras, Playing a rock guitar (when the wife is out) and getting off

elevate to a higher plane, simply because your vibrational frequency
is much higher and not grounded to the physical. If you add even more
special energy you will attain your natural state- that of a glowing
sphere.  
 Our
alien friends are aware of these truths and theyknow it takes a degree of 
discipline to carry on playing the game of life.
 Aliens
elevate an abductees vibrational frequency so the atoms will not
interact with normal matter, to enable transfer through glass or wood
easily. The aliens can also elevate there own bodies for the same
reason or theycan become invisible to our eyes, all achieved using the mind over
energy. (You should know that everything is made of energy - no
exceptions - there is nothing else in the known Universe)
 We
have many "bonding" to physicals on this planet and
sometimes an individual is allowed to remember some of the past.Past
life regression is allowed to create interest and to stimulate us
into more thought, in the same way that alien mystery and conspiracy
theories do. These are all planned events and have been practiced on
various planets over millions of years.
 Those
more advanced are duty bound to provoke thought within us.
 These
facts will behidden until the masses are sufficiently mature to “handle the
truth”.

Hi
I am new to this group. Although I am a spiritualist - started at Cambridge 
Spiritualist church in the 60's ! I have a strong interest in UFO's.
Thought someone may be interested in some
photos sent to me for analysis using the decorrelation stretch
analysis technique. Both photos were taken in the same place, Shipley
Park, nr. Derby, England – April 2011 by Joanne Summerscales founder of
the Ammach organization. She had no idea of their significance.
 Photo 1 - shows a helicopter following a UFO, the only thing revealed
is a small plasma glow above the craft.
 Photo 2 - much more interesting photo shows a Mothership and to the
left fallout from a Chemtrail (in purple) (Photo 2a), Joanne said
initially she went out to film Chemtrails.
 Photo 3 - an enlargement which Joanne also provided.
 Photo 3a,- reveals the Mothership is attracting the Chemtrail
towards it, I presume for the purpose of nullification. 
 I have never before seen a photo of Mothership absorption of
Chemtrails – the photo shows a clearly  defined outline towards the craft and 
also
striations of what appear to be energy waves (compare with
surrounding area) - on some monitors the wave
like ripple is not as noticeable.

John, my point in replying originally was -- and is -- that I don't believe any 
of this guff you're spouting about "science." I think your interest in this 
subject is completely driven by your belief in the childhood notions of "God 
the Creator" you were taught in your youth, and that you're still desperately 
trying to prove these myths "true." The bottom line of most of the new 
cosmological theories you've presented is that one universe gives rise to the 
next, a sequence that goes back infinitely because there was never a 
"beginning" to infinity. 


I think you're just uncomfortable with a universe that was never created. I 
think -- as I said earlier -- that you are intensely uncomfortable with the 
notion of an eternal universe that has always been and thus never "required" 
being created. I think the *reason* you're uncomfortable with this concept is 
that it would obviate the need for any "first creation" and thus for a 
"creator." 


In short, I think you're a lot like the people who search around on 
mountaintops looking for wreckage of a boat so they can "prove" the myths about 
Noah's ark "true." I get it -- you have a need to believe in the myths you've 
been told about God, and you try to project that need onto every new scientific 
discovery, hoping to find something -- ANYTHING -- that you can glom onto to 
allow for the possibility of a "Creator factor." Your very comment that started 
this thread was, in fact, "My question primarily is: what caused the Big Bang?" 
I don't think you're looking for the "what" -- I think you're looking for the 
"Who." 


I'm just pointing out that none of this new research really seems to point to a 
"beginning" of the universe. It points instead to an endless successions of 
"Big Bangs" that are in reality just the result of the previous one. And so on, 
forever. 


But if it amuses you to try to "prove" the existence of this God thing you 
believe in, carry on. Just don't think you're fooling anyone about what your 
intent really is. In my book you're as much of a "scientist" as the crazy 
people who believe that dinosaurs lived during the time of Jesus. Or the "TM 
scientists" who start with an assumption -- that things are "really" the way 
that Maharishi described them -- and then try to "work the data" to make it 
seem true. That isn't science, in their case, or in yours. It's allowing the 
theory to drive the data, not allowing the data to drive the theory.

There are many young scientists today who believe that they can prove what

find telltale evidence from the cosmic noise background as to what happened 
before the Big Bang.  This would be analogous to seeing a slow motion picture 
of a bullet piercing a wall which would show the effects to the wall where the 
bullet exited.  From these effects, they can retrace backwards the nature of 
the bullet and the energy that made it pierce the wall.

Hi All,
I am new to this forum and it is the
first time I have joined a spiritually orientated group.
For most of my life I have kept quiet
simply because my belief's are different from those around me, so I
am hoping to meet like minded people. So here goes.
My spiritual life began when I started
to communicate with my Spirit Guide 40 years ago in Cambridge UK, I
was introduced to the spiritual church there by a girl friend. 

Things have taken off since then, but I
haven't, I cannot get out of this decrepit body and perform an
Astral Projection!
I have read many books – analysed
Monroe, Rogo, Taylor and others, but still stay firmly on Terra
Firma. If anyone has any advice I would be grateful.
I have attached a photo of a collection
of auras of acquaintances, ( found a free site and gave it a go – a
first for me) if anyone can interpret the colour meanings I would be
very grateful.

Russia is looking out for itself.  They would rather make money form Europe as 
usual rather than be side-tracked with the Syrian conflict.

The other option would be to rely on the United Nations to determine what is 
the appropriate action against Syria.  IMO, most countries in the world don't 
want another war or get involved in Syria's civil war.  The UN option would 
probable the most innocuous of all and most cost effective for everyone.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Obama and al-Qaeda

2013-08-28 Thread John
Bhairitu,

One of Obama's options is to NOT attack directly but to supply the rebels with 
the needed weapons and ammunitions they need to fight Assad.  He might also 
choose a "no fly zone" against Assad's airforce.  That means, the US Air Force 
will be involved in enforcing this policy.

This could possibly tip the progress of the war towards the rebel.  At the same 
time, the rebel leadership should be able to setup a new government for the 
benefit of the Syrian people.

At this time, Obama is still weighing his options and we should find out very 
soon what that option will be.

2013-08-21 Thread John
Apparently, Pope Benedict had a mystical experience which prompted him to 
resign as pontiff of the Catholic Church.  As we have speculated earlier this 
year, this was the likely reason due to the alignment of the planets in his 
birth chart.

Mike,

The key solution to Oakland's problem is employment of youths.  If most of the 
youth are in school and have part-time jobs, the violence will decrease.  
Unfortunately, that's not happening and the crime statistics show.

Emptybill,

TMers in Oakland should get together to meditate to enliven the Maharishi 
Effect.  Also, the Lynch Foundation should teach TM to some of the public 
schools over there to bring peace in the schools.  The Foundation has already 
been successful in teaching TM to the youth in one of the public schools in San 
Francisco, CA.

Further, the streets in Oakland, CA are not aligned in a grid with the main 
cardinal directions.  If you drive by over there at night, you can easily get 
lost.  IMO, this is a contributing factor to the violence there, in addition to 
poverty, lack of education and unemployment.

Xeno,

The additional point is that reading the Greek letters is the first part of 
learning the language.  But now I'll have to learn the words and grammar in 
Greek to understand the language in its original form.

When I was in college we were asked to listen to the original Greek narrative 
of an ancient writer.  The narrative was describing how a pebble rolled down 
from the top of the hill.  Without understanding the words, the sound of the 
words on tape sounded like a pebble was rolling down the hill.  I thought that 
was cool.

Maybe someday I can read the Iliad in the original Greek form.  That's on my To 
Do List right now.

Hey Xeno,

I just realized a few days ago that I can read Greek letters.  Someone sent me 
an email in Greek.  But I realized that he was speaking English, but using 
Greek letters.  I eventually figured out what he said.  

The funny thing is that when I copied the Greek text it would paste in English 
on this forum.  Strange indeed.

So, I'll just leave that as a mystery for now.

Bhairitu,

Yes, the weather was excellent over there as compared to foggy San Francisco, 
CA.  I don't know if it means anything.  But when I checked in to a budget 
motel in town, I found out that the motel was owned by a family from India.  It 
was rather surprising to see a picture of a guru at the check-in counter in a 
small northern California town.

Anyway, I just had to get out of town from SF since they had a big annual rock 
concert at the Golden Gate Park for the entire weekend.  You could hear them 
play from my place and did not have to stop until 10 PM at night.  Next year, 
I'll have to visit another town for a weekend getaway.

JR

PS

By the way I later found out that Paul McCartney was playing in that concert.  
Last Friday night, I did hear a band playing some old Beatles tune. But I 
thought it was one of those copycat bands that was playing.  Little did I know 
that it was Sir Paul himself who was playing.

The stones at the abbey are still a work-in-progress.  The monks inherited the 
stones from the City of San Francisco, which got the stones from Randolph 
Hearst, a very rich man from California's past, who had the stones dismantled 
from an abbey in France and shipped to San Francisco, CA.  You can read the 
full history at the abbey's website.

The brewery at Chico, CA is cooperating with the abbey to brew and sell the 
monks' beer.  In return, the brewery will donate the proceeds to reconstruct 
the stones at the abbey.

By the way, there might be a Cistercian Effect over there for peace and success 
in the entire region.  But the monks are too busy making wine to prove that 
point in scientific terms. :)

2013-08-13 Thread John
That's right.  I was there last Saturday to get some peace and quiet.  While 
there I took a tour of the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.  It was delightful 
and I got to taste all of the beers they produced for free.

Later in the evening, I ate a wonderful Basque restaurant in town.  If you 
haven't been in one, you guys should try this place out.

Then, on Sunday, I visited a Cistercian Monastery at Vina, CA which is nearby 
Chico, CA.  Yes, I did talk to one monk there for direction to their wine 
tasting room.  The tasting room was staffed with women.  One lady served us a 
taste of their wines and all for free.  I later bought three bottles and a 
sweatshirt with an emblem of the monastery, New Clairvaux Abbey.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Universe gets heavier but not bigger?

2013-08-13 Thread John
Salyavin,

This scientist is going against the grain of what has been verified by 
scientists in the business.  Scientists from UC Berkeley have found that the 
universe is expanding and at an ever increasing rate.

Leonard Susskind, another eminent physicist from Stanford University, has 
accepted this model of expansion.  However, he is now developing a twist to 
this model by saying that the universe is a hologram.  You can find his lecture 
on this topic at YouTube.com.

If he can prove his point, he might receive the next Nobel Prize for physics. 
Only time will tell.

Share,

Your points are excellent.  I'm also thinking of inertia as prakriti or 
attachment to all of the doshas in the human physiology.  But I was watching 
this discussion of imminent scientists relating to the universe as a hologram.  
This may be the ultimate inertia for everything in the universe.  You may find 
this enjoyable.

Dr. D,

Granted, what you say is true.  But the development and refinement of 
communications technology does not necessarily lead to an unconditioned mind or 
thought.  It can only contribute to the inertia of our conditioning.

It all depends on what is your definition of cosmic consciousness.  But having 
a noisy mind appears to be an indication of an inertia due to having a

Barry,

It appears to me that one has to define what is "true consciousness".  After 
it's defined, then it would not seem reasonable to say both true and not true 
consciousness are true at the same time.  Isn't that correct?

A Japanese cargo was launched today to resupply the space station. Kirobo, the 
first talking robot in space, was part of the cargo which will arrive on August 
9, 2013.  How can so much information be built in such a tiny robot?

If this robot is successful, will the Japanese build a human-size robot with 
greater capabilities?  Can it be sent to Mars for exploration?

MJ,

Around the early 1980s, MMY was friendly with Ferdinand Marcos because he 
allowed the TMO to teach the TM program at the public universities in the 
Philippines.  However, the Catholic Church protested this move stating that 
this was against the constitutional law requiring the separation of church and 
state.  

Ever since then, the TMO has been basically operating underground in the 
Philippines.

The People's Republic of China was born on October 1, 1949 at 15:00 hrs, at 
Tiananmen Square, Beijing, China.  I have the feeling they consulted an 
astrologer to start the proceedings since the time was rather late as compared 
to the independence inaugurations of other countries.  At this selected time, 
Venus was powerfully placed in the 10th house of career and karma.

Barry,

This trend in China is confirming its jyotish natal chart, which has Venus in 
the 10th house.  This means that it may accomplish more in the field of arts 
and creativity rather a military one.  Who knows what a real estate developer 
will do over there?  We might even see an imitation of San Francisco, CA over 
there in the near future.

In the field of classical music, we're seeing many artists who were born in 
mainland China and are popular for their talent, such as Yundi Li and Lang 
Lang.  However, Yo Yo Ma is excluded from this group since he is an American.

You hit the nail on the head.  People of the world should be on guard for such 
leaders in the guise of Pol Pot, Idi Amin and perhaps Kim Jong Un.  We should 
also be wary of fanatical religious beliefs which cause much death and 
bloodshed in the guise of doing the Will of God.

If this rumor were true, the Jewish Defense League would have told the press 
about MMY's fascination.  For example, this group and some Jewish leaders have 
complained to the press for years that Pope Pius XII did not do anything to 
stop the Holocaust during WWII.  This was done recently since the Catholic 
Church was thinking of canonizing the same pope as saint.  With such negative

[FairfieldLife] Re: JFK Shot by US Secret Service Agent

2013-07-29 Thread John
Bhairitu,

I looked at JFK's natal chart again using Bhrigu Nandi Nadi techniques and 
found that the reporter's idea may be true.  Essentially, at age 46, JFK ran 
into the jaws of Rahu represented by the transit of Saturn into his natal Rahu 
placed in Sagittarius.

Rahu is disposited by Jupiter placed in Taurus, meaning that JFK was 
susceptible to jealousy and backstabbing from among his friends.

Rahu signifies a foreign doctrine like Communism.  It could also represent a 
secret group that has its own agenda for running the government or economy.

Lee Harvey Oswald is represented by Mars placed in the 12th house of Jupiter.  
Mars is in conjunction with Mercury, which is the agent of death, who together 
conspired to shoot JFK in the back of the head.

I've cut down the detailed explanation of the jyotish rationale for conciseness 
in showing the assassination that occurred.  I hope this helps in describing 
the karma involved.

Ann,

You don't have to live in any of these houses if you don't want to.  However, 
the idea is worth a try.  If proper city planning can reduce crime and make the 
citizens successful, then I'm for it.

You should visit Vedic City and tour inside one of these vastu houses.  You 
might like it.  I myself have not been in one, although I've seen many pictures 
of them on the internet.

It takes humans with high developed consciousness to create heaven here on

Also, I just found this video clip about vastu architecture and city planning.  
It's good know that the TMO is actively distributing the knowledge around the

Seventhray,

I picked up the lemon juice idea from a Greek restaurant in Seattle, WA.  I 
used to eat there for lunch when I was working in the city years ago.  The 
owner used to squeeze half a lemon for the dish that I ordered.  And, it 
appears to work with this tuna dish too.

My recipe is simple.  I chopped a small portion of white onions and green bell 
pepper.  Then, I let it sautee on a small portion of olive oil.  Then I added 
slices of tomatoes.  When the onions were slightly brown, I added one can of 
tuna to mix with the preparation.  I let the tuna cook until its slightly dry

Then, I added the squeezed lemon for the bliss effect.  Voila and bona petite!

I don't know what type of lemon tree it is.  It's been here for years and am 
using it just as a decoration until now.  But I do appreciate the smell of the 
leaves when I pass by it.

Nope, the coke is not Mexican which often comes in a bottle.  I bought a 
12-pack at a major supermarket chain.

Perhaps, the bliss comes from the fresh juice which has ojas in it, maybe.  You

If the child grows up to like Americans, then you would be right.  Otherwise, 
he may be the reincarnation of King George III. :)

Ann,

It was really close, don't you think?  George is a variation of "jo", which is 
close to "ja".  Maybe the family didn't want to name the child James since it 
was too close to the King James of Bible fame. :)

George is the name selected for the new baby of Prince William and Kate, the 
Duchess of Cambridge.  His namesake was the same king that fought against the 
colonists during the American Revolution of 1776.

Share,

I'll go out on a limb to guess what the baby's name should be based on jyotish 
principles.  Based on the Moon's position, the applicable syllable or sound for 
the baby is "ja".  Therefore, his name could be James or variations of this 
syllable.

Judy,

I'm just reading what the chart says.  Please, read my original post.  In 
jyotish, the Sun is the king of the solar system.  The Sun being placed in the 
10th house of the chart gives the power of kingship.  In this particular case, 
the boy was a product of a royal family.  And he is lucky enough that the power 
of royalty is passed on to him.

However, kingship is not necessarily and automatically passed on to babies in a 
royal family.  Some of these babies become paupers or commoners, which is the 
case of one British royal member (the brother of the present Queen) in the 20th 
century who gave up his right to the throne to marry an American and divorced 
woman.

For people of common birth, the Sun in the 10th house can give them success in 
their professional careers, often becoming the presidents and CEOs of the 
companies they work for.  So, in a sense, the Sun has given them the power to 
rise above the rest to become leaders of men and women.

Salyavin,

All of the babies were not born at the same time.  The difference in time can 
mean different variations of the life.  Also, you have to consider the karma, 
both in this lifetime and the past life, of the father, the mother, and the 
child himself.  In effect, the birth chart is a very specific picture of a 
person at a given space and time.

Share,

That was the first time I've been at the bar.  I was just checking the place 
out.  But it probably didn't matter if I tried since one lady was hogging the 
microphone all the time I was there.  There were two other guys in the next 
table who wanted to sing.  However, they couldn't get any words edgewise.  So, 
they too got tired and left.

Regarding the royal family, it is very interesting to note that Prince Charles, 
Diana, Prince William and Kate all have the conjunction of the Moon and Rahu in 
their charts.  You can verify this for me if you're interested.

IMO, this could mean that either this family is living in a fairy land or that 
it's very savvy and astute in political matters.  But I'm leaning towards the 
latter.

The 9th house is the bhava that indicates dreams, visions and knowledge.  Come 
to think of it now.  I believe it was the karaoke music and the beer that

There's a long complicated astrological reason why it did this.  But we'll

Share,

Thanks for the heads up.  According to the birth time given, he is a Libra 
ascendant with the Moon in the nakshatra of Uttara Shaddha.

He was born to rule as a royalty since the Sun is placed in the 10th house.  He 
will also be accomplished in the Arts since Venus is placed in 11th house from 
Saturn, or that his future wife will bring good luck in his work.

Prince William will further benefit from this new born child since the Sun, 
representing him, are surrounded by benefic planets.  He should gain much 
political advantage and success in his endeavors from this birth.

Kate will gain as well since the Moon is being aspected by the Sun, signifying 
the splendor of the father and royalty.  In addition, she may have two more 
male children.

Since Rahu represents the grandfather, Prince Charles will soon be crowned as 
king since the Sun is placed in the 10th house.

[FairfieldLife] Marble City of Dreams

2013-07-22 Thread John
Last night I had a very lucid dream which I thought was about Seattle, WA.  It 
started out like the scenes were familiar with a free street music concert, 
which is typical for the city during the summer months.

But then I felt myself floating down a huge marble flight of stairs and 
realized that I was in the midst of a city made of dark red polished marble, 
similar to those of ancient Rome.  There was a wonderful orchestra music in the 
air, with lush chords and driving gentle beat similar to Barry White's Love 
Theme.  And, a well dressed male singer was crooning a new song but with a 
familiar chord progression.

The singer was well dressed in a business suit made of the best material that 
anyone has ever seen.  His hair was well coiffed which reminded me of a 
familiar singer out of a Las Vegas show.

When I awoke I wondered if it was due to the transit of the Moon in Sagittarius 
or was it due to the music and a bottle of San Miguel beer at a karaoke bar 
that I visited yesterday.

Richard,

I posted a continuation to this bankruptcy which stated that the bankruptcy 
filing may be unconstitutional.  It appears that the unions and city employees 
don't want to lose their retirement money.  So, they've convinced a judge to 
question the entire proceedings.  So, we are now witnessing the start of a long 
legal battle whose end is nowhere in sight.

Judy,

That was a cool clip.  Apparently, Chrysler is staying afloat and selling cars, 
which is good for the economy.

There's a new twist to this story.  A judge has intervened to block the filing. 
 Here's why.

No, not his voice.  He was an accountant and knew how to cook the books.  :)

[FairfieldLife] Re: Detroit Files for Bankruptcy

2013-07-18 Thread John
Seraphita,

On the same page of the referenced article, there's a video that showed the 
governor of Michigan saying that the city of Detroit was not earning enough 
money to pay for its debt due to the loss of the population in the area.  He 
mentioned that it can only pay 60 cents for every dollar it owes.  So, that 
would mean that the city's debt will be restructured so that each creditor will 
only get paid about 60 percent of what the city owes them. Essentially, it's a 
big loss for the creditors.

And, the city gets to live another life with the debt load off its back.  IMO, 
the city should survive with adequate management from the officials.  There's a 
reason why Detroit started from that location.  The city would just have to 
find its strengths and work with those.

A few weeks ago, we posted an article here on the forum that stated a Chinese 
auto company is interested in moving into the city to do its business.  So, 
clearly there's an advantage for them to be there that other American companies 
have failed or refuse to recognize.
