    I finally had a chance to watch this week's news and views from the nefarium, I find the most salient point to be that Russia announced new rules of engagement in Syrian airspace, ominous at best.

    I am reminded of the question..."Does (what i am focused on) grow corn?"

    Anymore, THIS is what excites me...HEALING. Feeling well and being able to do what we want to do because we are physically able, mentally aware/alert/ "WITH IT", emotionally calm and in our integrity is holy.

    Healing grows giant corn. Anyone who has not self healed cannot be full on sovereign IMO.
    IMO healing experience is one primary powerful gateway of empowerment.

    It is apparent to me that all roads of SELF healing are also healing for all in our focus. Its not anything but natural. And yes, I AM (by whatever name the real juice is called) a personal relationship to the mystery who is, IS the most natural ally we have in real time.

    I want to share some video from people who have something to offer/share from different vantage points that IMO grows corn.
    This IMO represents our new type of response ability.

    This is an example IMO of someone synthesizing info and using it for his good and sharing from his use of information.

    In 2006, Joshua Tongol was challenged by a modern-day miracle. He was so convinced of its authenticity that he began his own journey–investigating to find out whether or not miracles still occur regularly today. He read every book he could find on the topic and met with different people who operated in these so-called “supernatural gifts.”

    Eventually, Joshua began praying for the sick and started seeing results for the very first time–including his own healing from both his GERD and back injury.

    In recent years, Joshua discovered the universal power to heal resides in every human being–that it doesn’t belong to just one group, religion, sect, or even to one special person. In fact, the principles of healing are woven into the very fabric of the universe and are available to anyone, anytime, and anywhere.

    Hmm, very interesting

    The end of stealth? New Chinese radar capable of detecting ‘invisible’ targets 100km away

    A top Chinese military technology company shocked physicists around the world this week when it announced it had developed a new form of radar able to detect stealth planes 100km away.

    The breakthrough relies on a ghostly phenomenon known as quantum entanglement, which Albert Einstein dubbed “spooky action at a distance”.

    China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC), one of the “Top 10” military industry groups controlled directly by the central government, said on Sunday that the new radar system’s entangled photons had detected targets 100km away in a recent field test.

    That’s five times the “potential range” of a laboratory prototype jointly developed by researchers from Canada, Germany, Britain and the United States last year.
    Quantum physics says that if you create a pair of entangled photons by splitting the original photon with a crystal, a change to one entangled photon will immediately affect its twin, regardless of the distance between them.

    A quantum radar, generating a large number of entangled photon pairs and shooting one twin into the air, would be capable of receiving critical information about a target, including its shape, location, speed, temperature and even the chemical composition of its paint, from returning photons.

    That sounds similar to a normal radar, which uses radio waves, but quantum radar would be much better at detecting stealth planes, which use special coating materials and body designs to reduce the radio waves they deflect, making them indistinguishable from the background environment.
    The photons had to maintain certain conditions – known as quantum states – such as upward or downward spin to remain entangled. But Ma said the quantum states could be lost due to disturbances in the environment, a phenomenon known as “decoherence”, which increased the risk of entanglement loss as the photons travelled through the air, thus limiting the effective range of quantum radar.

    The CETC breakthrough benefited largely from the recent rapid development of single-photon detectors, which allowed researchers to capture returning photons with a high degree of efficiency.

    Hmm. Plausible deniability when Obama says "I will not put American boots on the ground in Syria".?


    Made in China’ US military boots a boon for Donald Trump

    Our brave soldiers are wearing boots that - instead of being 100 percent American-made - seem to be imported from China and at the tax-payers’ expense. This news could not have come at a worst time, Lionel, political and media analyst, told RT.

    Wellco Enterprises has sold thousands of boots worth millions of dollars to the US military for decades.

    It turns out, however, the famous 'Made in USA' military footwear might actually be coming from China. Wellco stands accused of allegedly removing 'Made in China' labels from its products.

    And with the presidential elections just around the corner, media and political analyst Lionel says this scandal could not have happened at a better time for Republican candidate Donald Trump.

    Recently, in an interview I listened to, someone described the two ways we can worship. The Corn God and the Debt God.

    In the world of the Corn God there is abundance.

    Let us follow the Corn God and not the Debt God.

    This choice of God sets up our perception mode and how we apprehend reality. When one gets their God straight, it makes seeing the world a very different experience. We find self value with the Corn God. This has huge psychological implications. Humans are primarily about their psychology.

    We are possibly the only creature who is anxious about our mortality. The statement describing humans being
    "primarily about our psychology" definitely fits my own preoccupation.

    I was watching this last night and it gripped me.

    If our beliefs never quit until we give them up, the implications are BIG and so important that much else pales.

    I just heard this song in my head for some reason
    Corn dog the barking of wisdom
    Can anyone else hear the tune?

    corn God and Corn dog and kittens and twisters
    Big yellow roses with thorns that burst blisters
    all of the packaging mired up in strings
    what is the difference in good and bad Things?

    Days when bills come, or the tree falls?
    If we start to laugh,
    will we remember our favorite bits
    each night in a cold cold bath?

    Yeah, follow was not the best word choice. I thought about editing it but decided to let it sit. I don't follow myself. Maybe choose is the better word.

    I've had more than one experience with people trying to convince me I owe them in some way when I don't in any way. It's a strange mentality.

    And I also know people I can't actually give a gift to because they automatically turn it into an obligation on their part which is not expected.

    It's not a dynamic I follow. I do have to be aware of others' expectations, though.

    No prob...

    I was wondering if someone would comment on the follow part. It's not too far removed from the savior idea.

    But following a path is something we all do, and there are many.

    Maybe corny humor is a good thing to engage in... (pretend the banana's a cob)

    I was being neither grumpy nor pedantic.

    I was actually pointing out how easily people fall into the trap of following a (self-proclaimed) leader or deity, whereas there is nothing in this universe that both deserves and demands worship or a following at the same time. And I was doing it in what I perceived as a humorous way.

    I may be ill right now but I didn't think my sense of humor had become so unrecognizable.
