HEMP: Something All Homes Should Be Made Of – Scotland Community Begins Sustainable Housing Project

by Arjun Walia

Many people are becoming aware of ways to live that are more harmonious with the planet.  It seems that we are transitioning to a very ancient understanding of how to operate here on Earth, with a very advanced ‘know how’ of technologies and methods to begin making that transition. New ways of living are coming to light and although you may not hear about them often, communities all over the world are starting to implement them.

A new sustainable housing project in the Northwest of Scotland will use industrial hemp as the main building material. It’s made of a prefabricated wall system called Hembuild, which is a mixture of the plant’s woody core and a lime-based binder. Another popular name for this is Hempcrete. This is something all of our homes should be made of.

An English housing company that specializes in hemp-based construction called ‘Hemcrete Projects,’ supplied the system. Two prototype houses have already been completed in the township of Achabeag.

Breatharianism: Science Examines People Who Claim Not To Eat & Here’s What They Found

by Arjun Walia

Breathariansim refers to the practice of sustaining oneself without the need for food. This concept is not new; in fact, for thousands of years, various cultures around the world have written of this ability. In the third book of the Yoga Sutras, for example, approximately twenty-five siddhis are listed as having extraordinary abilities. This is a common theme throughout Buddhism, and various other spiritual traditions as well. Clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and many more are all special traits attributed to the siddhis, as is the liberation from hunger and thirst.

Though modern day science has seen evidence of extended human capacities like telepathy, remote viewing, and pre-cognition, very little work has gone into examining breatharianism. Some brilliant minds do believe it’s possible, however, including Nikola Tesla. In 1901, he made the following argument:

Light Projections Bring Back The Lost Color In Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphs

Source: Timewheel
Written by: Timewheel

The sacred temples of Egypt were not always the monochromatic sandstone buildings we think of today. At the time of their construction, ancient Egyptian temples were adorned with delicately carved, hand-painted scenes detailing events of their most cherished religious and mythological concepts. Unfortunately, centuries of weathering have taken a very serious toll on the antique artworks.

One such temple, the Temple of Dendur, is a perfect example.. The Temple of Dendur is a small, 2-room complex was given to the United States by Egypt in 1965 and in 1967, was awarded to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The temple was completed in 10 BCE and is known to have once bore stunningly vibrant, carved murals of the Pharaoh making offerings to deities wielding scepters and ankhs, the symbol of life. Today, however, it is a pale and rather beige looking example of what it once was. Thanks to the efforts of the Color the Temple project, one of the ancient carved scenes on the temple's exterior has been brought back to life.

A team consisting of former interns of Met Medialab Matt Felsen and Maria Paula Saba in collaboration with former Met Fellow Erin Peters in the Department of Egyptian Art devised a way to return color and detail to these delicate works of art without disturbing their natural state. With the help of light projection and by using unearthed Egyptian art fragments that still possess their color as reference, the team designed a color overlay that, when projected onto the stone carvings, revitalizes even the most minute details with vibrant, life-like colors that behave naturally with the contours and imperfections in the stone.

Seven Principles and Practices of Engaged Ecology

by Rhonda Fabian

The response to Engaged Ecology: Seven Practices to Restore Our Harmony with Nature, in the current edition of Kosmos Journal, has been truly heartening. These basic, nourishing daily practices are derived and synthesized from several key sources: The Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings of Thich Nhat Hanh’s Order of Interbeing, Janine Benyus’ Nine Basic Principles of Biomimicry, the Deep Ecology Principles of Norwegian philosopher Arne Næss, and other respected teachings. Kosmos has received numerous requests to share just the seven principles and practices, and here they are.

Seven Principles and Practices of Engaged Ecology

Principle 1 – Nature’s brilliant design is all-pervasive.

Practice – Cultivating awareness of Nature

Trusting that truth is found in Life, we strive to develop awareness by spending time observing and contemplating Nature. This can be as simple as working in a garden or meditating on a single flower. We can seek deep natural experiences without traveling to exotic locations. Even at work, we can quietly observe life within and around us. Drinking a glass of water with deep awareness or basking in the warm sun for a few minutes with gratitude are simple ways to remember our most primal connections.

Tantra Is The Opposite Of Porn – Learning How To Actually Be Intimate

by Katrina Bos

What if studying tantra could heal our addiction to Porn? What if tapping into our natural abilities to experience ecstasy changes everything?

I was really nervous when I first realized that I wanted to teach Tantra. What would people think? Would they be offended? Talking about sex is such a no-no. I live in a very small conservative community, how was this going to work?

But then a good friend said to me, “Do you realize what you’re offering people? Tantra is essentially the OPPOSITE of porn.” Once I realized this, I never looked back!

Porn is a funny thing. Despite some opinions, I believe that it isn’t inherently evil. Lots of people truly enjoy watching porn, including many couples who use it together to have a new experience. Yet it is seemingly undeniable that there are some real dark sides to porn.

Besides the obvious violence and anything involving children, there are much more insidious issues:

This Is Nuts – Donald Rumsfeld On 9/11 & Building 7. How Is This Possible?

by Arjun Walia

Below is footage of journalist Luke Rudkowski, the founder of We Are Change, asking former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld about World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC), the building that collapsed on 9/11 despite only experiencing some small fires on a couple of floors. It’s the same building that multiple mainstream media outlets reported as having collapsed before it actually did. BBC correspondent Jane Standley, for example, reported the collapse of WTC 7 (Soloman Brothers building) 20 minutes before it happened. CNN/FOX/MSNBC also had early reports.  Luke also mentions this and shows it in the video below.

In the video Rumsfield tries to dodge the question, maintaing that he has no idea what Luke is talking about.

Here is another clip from a few years ago of Rumsfeld saying the same thing, which Luke refers to here.

Newton’s recipe for alchemists’ mercury rediscovered

A 17th century alchemy manuscript handwritten by Isaac Newton has been bought by the US’s Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) after being kept in a private collection for decades.

The document contains text copied fom another alchemist's writings as well as descriptions of Newton’s own experiments © Courtesy of the Chemical Heritage Foundation

The document is a copy of a known text authored by another alchemist, written in Latin, as was common practice at the time. Its title translates as ‘Preparation of the [Sophick] Mercury for the [Philosophers'] Stone by the Antimonial Stellate Regulus of Mars and Luna from the Manuscripts of the American Philosopher’. It describes a process for making ‘sophick’ – short for ‘philosophic’ – mercury.

‘Philosophic mercury was [thought to be] a substance that could be used to break down metals into their constituent parts,’ explains James Voelkel, the CHF’s curator of rare books. ‘The idea is if you break the metals down you can then reassemble them and make different metals.’ The process was part of the effort to make the philosopher’s stone, he adds, a mythical substance that alchemists believed could turn lead into gold.

Serrapeptase: The Miracle Enzyme That No One Seems To Know About

by Sharmini Gana

Serrapeptase is a proteolytic (protein destroying) enzyme found in silkworms.

Serrapeptase digests inflammations, scars (non-living tissue), blood clots, cysts, arterial plaque, and inflammation in all forms.

Doctors in Asia and Europe have been prescribing serrapeptase to treat various forms of inflammation for the past 30 years, yet in North America, where it is considered a supplement, is remains relatively unknown.

Popularized by the late German physician Dr. Hans Nieper, who used it to treat his patients, serrapeptase treats many different chronic pain and inflammation conditions:

The Real Reason America Dropped The Atomic Bomb. It Was Not To End The War

by Arjun Walia

On August 6, 1945, the world, sadly, entered the atomic age. Without warning, a single nuclear bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima killed about 90,000 people instantly and injured many others — who then died from radiation sickness. Three days later, a second atomic strike on the city of Nagasaki killed some 37,000 people and injured another 43,000. Together the two bombs eventually killed an estimated 200,000 Japanese civilians.

“The Library of Congress adds roughly 60 million pages to its holdings each year, a huge cache of information for the public. However, also each year, the U.S. Government classifies nearly ten times that amount – an estimated 560 million pages of documents. For scholars engaged in political, historical, scientific, or any other archival work, the grim reality is that most of their government’s activities are secret.” – Richard Dolan, historian, author (source) (you can read more about what is known as the “black budget” here)

The point above is significant. How can we really know anything about American history if a considerable portion of it remains classified? That being said, how can we really know anything about American history when we have so many examples of dishonesty and misinformation? What will the history books say about 9/11? We will have to wait and see, but what our history books tell us about the atomic bomb and why it was dropped seems to be a complete lie, at least according to some very credible sources.

The Oldest Human Genome Has Been Sequenced & It Could Rewrite Our History

by Katharine J

Scientists have discovered remains of the oldest human DNA sequence ever recorded, taken from a cave in Northern Spain known as Sima De Los Huesos, or the pit of bones. This discovery is helping to reconstruct the evolutionary sequence of human species.

The teeth and thigh bones remnants had been fossilized rather than frozen, making DNA extraction comparatively difficult.  Examination of the bones revealed they were 430,000 years old — 100,000 years older than the previous oldest human skull on record, and 200,000 years older than modern humans.

To find out more, a team led by Matthias Meyer at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, pieced together parts of the hominin’s nuclear DNA from samples taken from a tooth and a thigh bone, New Scientist reported.

Paleoanthropologist Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London, who wasn’t involved in the research, told Nature Magazine: “It’s fascinating and keeps us all on our toes trying to make sense of it all. Instead of just being stuck with trying to resolve the last 100,000 years, we can really start to put some dates from DNA further down the human tree.”

Partial Disclosure Is NOT an Option | Unity, Kindness and Creating Tolerance for Diversity

Souce: Stillness in the Storm

The partial disclosure discussion proceeds on with a piece by Therese Zumi Sumner from the Event Chronicle. The article is a compilation of points as presented by COBRA, Corey Goode, David Wilcock and Benjamin Fulford. 

Several have called for unity in the community, which I personally think is a good solution to any problem, not just the push for full disclosure. With that in mind, I want to emphasize that unitydoes not mean conformity to one belief system or another. It does not mean we cannot work with others who do not resonate totally with our beliefs. I think unity means harmony of diversity, that people who are fundamentally different due to their unique spiritual essence recognize the value of cooperation. The human body is an excellent example of a diverse unity.

I think a natural product of awakening – the process of purging falseness of the past and gaining true knowledge – is the development a narrative that we can believe in, a perspective that we want to be true. This desired outcome is usually shaped by our unconscious yearnings, desires and fears, which if we are not careful, can hold us back in our awakening. This is because we each have our own personal and unique belief systems, most especially in relation to the freedom of the planet and what full disclosure looks like. 

Energy Mafia is on Its Knees: Australia First to Receive Ocean Wave Generated Zero-Emission Electricity

by Christina Sarich

The world is in desperate need of alternative energy, and Australia just rode the wave, quite literally, into a new energy paradigm. Using the Perth Wave Energy Project’s CETO 5 wave energy generators developed by Carnegie Wave Energy Limited, the movement of the ocean is creating renewable, sustainable energy – which can even be used to make potable water through desalinization.

For now, the CETO 5 wave generator  is being used to provide energy to a nearby naval base, but future installments of the electricity-generating technology are in planning stages. 3 CETO units channeling energy from the ocean are plugged into a power grid for 14000 cumulative hours of energy.

The below video explains how the CETO 5 works. 240kW buoys tethered to water pumps covert the movement of the ocean waves into high-powered water which is then used to create hydroelectricity to power a reverse-osmosis desalination plant.

This New Experiment Will Allow Us To ‘See’ Quantum Entanglement With The Naked Eye

by Arjun Walia

Researchers in Switzerland have devised an experiment that would allow humans to directly perceive quantum entanglement for the very first time. Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles, at the quantum scale, interact in a way in which they become linked, demonstrating that ‘space’ might just be the construct that gives the illusion of seperation between two physical objects. That being said, the behaviour of particles at the quantum scale does not mimic the behaviour of physical systems that are much larger.

If we think in terms of a cosmic scale explanation, two electrons created together are entangled; if we send one to the other side of the universe and then do something to one of them, like spin it, the other will mimic the behaviour instantaneously. This means either that information is travelling faster than the speed of light, or, again, that the vast distance we perceive between objects really doesn’t exist at all.

Quantum entanglement has been verified, meaning that physicists can entangle light particles in a laboratory setting, but the researchers from Switzerland want to take it one step further. As ScienceAlert reports, “The premise is that the human eye is basically a photon detector, so, in theory, we should be able to replace the photon detecter in an entanglement detecting experiment with a human eye, and use people to observe the process instead.”

Sadly, it’s not going to be easy, MIT Technology Review reveals:

How to Free Yourself From Subconscious Programming And Access Your Psychic Ability to Read Minds

Update - March 13th, 2016 2:52pm: Facebook has censored the below article, saying it is "unsafe." This is not the first time content from this site has been banned from Facebook, usually because the information is not something "they" want in the public. Last year'sConsciousness Life Expo talk revealing the secret space program was also banned for almost a day.

Please help spread this information far and wide!

The following is a compilation of two articles related to training our innate psychic abilities to read minds. But much more than just this simple parlor trick can be done when we begin to gain mastery of the metaphysical realms. 

In the hermetic philosophies, the principle of Mentalism states that all things are mental, all causes have their origin in mind. Everything we do, perceive and experience passes through the mind as a type of consciousness gateway. What this means is that developing the ability to read body language is one way to get a glimpse into the mind, including our own.

600 Reasons This Ancient Ayurvedic Plant May Be The World’s Most Important Herb

by Arjun Walia

Turmeric (Curcuma longa), a plant native to southwest India, belongs to the ginger family. Found in a variety of Asian dishes, this herb boasts a number of significant healing potentials.

Unfortunately, the medical industry has been dominated by the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the Western world, and we have forgotten how to heal with nature. Many used to deny or even ridicule this fact, but some of the most credible physicians in the world, chief editors of major medical journals as well as other professionals, are now urging the public to open their eyes to the truth. You can read some of the statements they’ve made and see some examples of pharmaceutical fraud in an article we published last month HERE.

Plato Described 'The Matrix' Over 2000 Years Ago

by Jennifer Sodini

Plato was one of the founding fathers of Western thought, constantly pondering, and philosophizing, even over 2,000 years ago, he seemed to have an advanced understanding of humanity.

The translation in the video below of Plato’s “The Allegory of the Cave”, narrated by Orson Welles, describes the societal problem that we still face to this day….barriers to humanity’s access to knowledge.

Many operate within “The Matrix” we have come to know as reality, because they are merely operating from the level of consciousness they attained from their life experiences. Years of indoctrination, institutional education, and false idolization tend to cultivate a limited mind, hence is the exact issue tackled in “The Allegory of the Cave”. It’s not that the consciousness is not there to be discovered, it is merely only limited by circumstance and cultural “norms”.

What Aloe Vera Does In Your Body: Why Egyptians Called It The Plant Of Immortality

by Alanna Ketler

Known to the Egyptians as the plant of immortality and to Native Americans as the wand of heaven, aloe vera comes with a wide array of amazing healing properties — some of which you may already be aware. You might even have your own aloe vera plant in your home for those small emergencies like scrapes, cuts, and burns, but did you know that aloe vera is not only limited to topical use and is actually even more beneficial to your body when taken internally?

Aloe vera contains over 200 biologically active, naturally occurring constituents which include polysaccharides, vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and minerals that promote nutrient absorption.

According to The Journal of Environmental Science and Health, aloe vera also possesses anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties that assist the immune system in cleansing the body of toxins and invading pathogens. But that isn’t all aloe vera juice/gel has to offer.[1]

Inside Russia’s Psychedelic Salt Mine: Naturally Forming & Mind-Bending Patterns

Source: The Mind Unleashed

A few hundred feet below the Russian city of Yekaterinburg is an abandoned salt mine of indescribable, psychedelic beauty. Entire caves and corridors covered with astonishing patterns caused by the natural swirling of carnallite and rock layers. The mineral carnallite, a hydrated potassium magnesium chloride, serves as a powerful aid in plant fertilization. It is most often found to be yellowish-red, but can appear to be blue, purple, or even colorless.

Only a small part of the mine is still in use today, leaving miles of these abandoned hypnotic tunnels below the surface that are only accessible with a certain government permit. That, however, did not stop photographer and spelunker, Mikhail Mishainik, and his friends from exploring the spectacular corridors beneath the industrial city. “The mines are huge and stretch many kilometres in width and length, a single tunnel can be over four miles long,” Mikhail stated. “It is hard to describe how it feels being so far down, you lose all track of time and the air is very dry, you always feel thirsty. The air is filled with small particles of salt and if we didn’t have our torches switched on it would be pitch black.”

Native American Code Of Ethics

Source: The Mind Unleashed

The Native American culture is highly spiritual and places a great emphasis on the respect for Mother Earth, Father Sky, Grandfather Sun and Grandmother Moon as well as all living and non-living objects.

1. Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often. The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.

2. Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.

3. Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others to make your path for you. It is your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

4. Treat the guests in your home with much consideration. Serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.

5. Do not take what is not yours whether from a person, a community, the wilderness or from a culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.

6. Respect all things that are placed upon this earth – whether it be people or plant.

The Vimanas Of Ancient India & The Tales Of Ancient Flying Machines

by Arjun Walia

If you are interested in the modern day UFO/ET phenomenon,  you can click here, this should take you to the exopolitics section of our website where you can find all of our articles on the topic. This article, however, will deal with a fraction of historical accounts of supposed ancient flying machines and extraterrestrials.

We have spiritual beliefs today, but not like the ancients. Thousands of years ago, people confronted forces well beyond their control and understanding: hence the gods. During ancient times, it was universally held that human civilization was a gift of the gods. Whether in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Israel, Greece, Scandinavia, Britain, India, China, Africa, the Americas or elsewhere, most people believed the gods brought them the tools of civilization – agriculture, writing, medicine – everything worth having. When the monotheistic religions became dominant, the gods became a God, but the beat continued. – Richard Dolan (1)

Antiquity is littered with stories of beings from other worlds, materials and flying objects that, according to modern day thinking, should not have existed. For anybody who has studied ancient mythology, along with the reality and recent public disclosures of the ‘Black Budget‘ world, they would know that a large amount of evidence exists today  which corroborates with these ‘mythical stories’ (as we interpret them) into stories of possible ancient reality.

It’s also important to point out here that even today, objects performing extraordinary and (what should be) impossible maneuvers have been observed and tracked on radar by defence intelligence agencies worldwide. Perhaps these unidentified flying objects have been around longer than we think? You can read more about what happens when the military tracks a ‘UFO’ on radar, HERE.

Here is a great example that was released by the Canadian military many years ago.

Supposed Pictures Of Real Extraterrestrial Beings: Do You Think They Would Look So Similar To Us?

by Arjun Walia

There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, from other civilizations . . . [and] it behooves us, in case some of these people in the future or now should turn hostile, to find out who they are, where they come from, and what they want. This should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.

– Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee (source)

You may be thinking that this is absolutely ridiculous. I know many people read the titles of articles like this one and turn their heads and scoff, immediately shutting down the possibility that these could be actual photos of extraterrestrial beings. Why do we hold onto our views so staunchly, at the expense of logic and reason? What prevents us from considering new ideas and new ways of viewing the world? So much new information is emerging every day which challenges the current accepted framework of knowledge, and it can be difficult for our opinions to evolve as quickly as the science.

Nonetheless, this is an extremely important topic, especially with the recent disclosures of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) by various governments and defence intelligence agencies, and we must work past our reluctance to accept new ideas. These objects are constantly photographed and tracked on radar, as well as visually confirmed by the pilots who are sent out to see them, and we would be foolish to discount this kind of evidence.

Mandalas – Color Guides to Spiritualism and Healing

by Leona Henryson

Mandalas have been around for centuries. Used by ancient Hindus, Buddhist monks and even the American Indian, mandalas have very spiritual meanings. To all cultures who use them, in both meditation and in healing, mandalas represent the universe, the sacred circle of life, and other spiritual symbols, such as harmony, wholeness, and unity. They symbolize our oneness with the universe and with one another.

Snowflakes are very difficult to study. They melt as soon as they come into contact with the human hand. Scientists have studied them, however, and that is why we have knowledge about the intricacies of their designs. They are also but one manifestation of mandalas in nature. Flowers are also mandalas. With this in mind, it is important to understand the broader meaning of mandalas, for they are far more than just an attractive geometric design.
