    Controlling The Climate Changers - Jim Lee

    Freeman Fly

    “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It's simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we've been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over, you almost never get it back.” — Carl Sagan The Anatomy of Slave Speak

    "Where does the human soul go when it leaves the body at the point of death?
    This is one of the greatest mysteries of life, perhaps the greatest" ...


    Age Of Truth TV Presents ...

    With onscreen commentary from David Icke, Linda Moulton Howe, Jordan Maxwell,
    Dr. Rauni Kilde, John Lear, Kerry Cassidy, Max Igan and scientist Ulf Dahlström ...

    "MYSTERY OF DEATH: Heaven Or Illusion & Reincarnation Soul Trap"


    Where does the human soul go when it leaves the body at the point of death? This is one of the greatest mysteries of life, perhaps the greatest. Every religion has their own philosophy on what happens when we die. Do we really go to "Heaven", and is "Heaven" a real place? Reincarnation of the soul appears to be the most dominant consensus between a lot of the worlds top researchers who acknowledge that human beings have a soul, and that it is consciousness separated beyond the body, the mind and the five senses. If reincarnation of human souls is the truth, could it then be a trap? A soul trap in the Matrix in order to recycle the human soul in order for all soul-beings to stay connected to and slavebound to Planet Earth? Is the Great White Light, also known in religious terms as Heaven, a constructed soul-harvesting karma-wheel factory created by malevolent interdimensional beings, which is mentioned in all the many different holy scriptures during all ages and in the Gnostic writings. If so, what can we do when our soul leaves the body?

    IF everything we know and have been told about "DEATH" has been a lie, then confronting this major and very complex topic will test your view of everything and what seems possible, especially the expansion of perception and consciousness.

    Related to the above post, I was recently listening to Tom Campbell. He was talking about reincarnation in the simulated universe he posits that we live in.

    According to his theory, reincarnation is part of evolution. When we embrace love, we evolve. When we embrace fear we devolve. He talks about how anger comes from fear.

    The intelligent consciousness which is the universe is trying to understand itself via us and our evolution.

    I'm interested in the idea of a soul trap and I still have Wayna Lobo Blanco in my mind.

    Meanwhile at the Doomsday Clock ...


    Washington (AFP)

    Date created: 24/01/2019

    Information wars endanger civilization, say 'Doomsday' experts

    "Information warfare is amplifying major worldwide threats like climate change and nuclear warfare, endangering the future of civilization, US experts said Thursday as the symbolic Doomsday Clock stayed at two minutes to midnight.

    The manipulation of facts, fake news and information overload -- along with global warming and flirting with nuclear war -- are all factors that have brought humans as close to destroying the planet as ever, said the non-profit Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

    "Humanity now faces two simultaneous existential threats, either of which would be cause for extreme concern and immediate attention," the group said in a statement.

    "These major threats -- nuclear weapons and climate change -- were exacerbated this past year by the increased use of information warfare to undermine democracy around the world, amplifying risk from these and other threats and putting the future of civilization in extraordinary danger."

    The clock did not budge from last year, but that "should not be taken as a sign of stability," said Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the group of scholars and international experts in security, nuclear, environmental and science fields.

    "It is a state as worrisome as the most dangerous times of the Cold War," said Bronson at a press conference in the US capital, describing the current climate as "The New Abnormal."

    "The velocity of information has increased by orders of magnitude, allowing information warfare and fake news to flourish," she said.

    "It generates rage and polarization across the globe at a time when we need calm and unity to solve the globe's greatest problems."

    This "New Abnormal" is "a state that features an unpredictable and shifting landscape of simmering disputes that multiply the chances for major conflict to erupt," she added.

    "We appear to be normalizing a very dangerous world in terms of the risks of nuclear warfare and climate change."

    - 'Bad news, indeed' -

    Robert Rosner, professor in astronomy and astrophysics at the University of Chicago, described this "New Abnormal" as "the disturbing reality in which things are not getting better."

    "The fact that the Doomsday Clock's hands did not move is bad news indeed," he said.

    The Doomsday Clock was created in 1947. Its time has changed on 20 occasions since then, ranging from two minutes to midnight in 1953 -- and again in 2018 -- to 17 minutes before midnight in 1991.

    Last year it moved from two-and-a-half minutes before minutes to two minutes, as near as it has ever been to the hour of the apocalypse, largely based on concerns over the possibility of nuclear war with North Korea and "unpredictability" from US President Donald Trump.

    Over the past year, the "rhetoric" between North Korea and the United States "has eased but remains extremely dangerous," said Bronson.

    Meanwhile, relations between the United States and Russia "remain unacceptably strained."

    And on the environmental front, "carbon emissions began to rise again after a period of plateauing," Bronson added.

    On tensions with North Korea, former US defense secretary William Perry said the latest talks between the Washington and Pyongyang may have done "nothing" to move North Korea away from its nuclear program.

    "On the other hand, and this is a big other hand, it stopped the insults and threats between our two countries, and therefore reduced the chances of blundering into a war with North Korea," Perry said.

    Jerry Brown, executive chair of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and former governor of California, said world leaders are not doing enough to scale back the threat of nuclear weapons.

    "The blindness and stupidity of the politicians and their consultants is truly shocking in the face of nuclear catastrophe and danger," Brown said.

    "We are almost like travelers on the Titanic, not seeing the iceberg up ahead but enjoying the elegant dining and music."

    Brown also took issue with journalists who report on every word the US president utters on social media.

    "Journalists, yes, you love Trump's tweets. You love the news of the day. You love the leads that get the clicks but the final click could be a nuclear accident, or mistake, and that is what we all have to be worried about.""

    BREAKING: Drudge Reports Shutdown Agreement Reached


    "The Drudge Report blasted out its breaking news siren on Friday, reporting that an agreement has been reached to end the government shutdown.

    Matt Drudge’s high-trafficked news aggregator reported that according to a source, a shutdown agreement has been reached, and that an announcement is set for 1 p.m.

    “GOVT TO REOPEN ‘TEMPORARILY’,” Drudge added.

    The federal government shutdown entered its fifth week on Monday, with President Donald Trump demanding funding for his border wall to reopen the government, and Democrats refusing to allocate any funds towards a barrier.

    Twenty years ago, I was taking a class. The professor was a cargo pilot. He talked about the close calls he witnessed and how the FAA is hard pressed to keep it all running smoothly.

    This was when the system was in full operation.

    With a shutdown, we're less safe in a wide array of aspects. People are simply acting stupid to be going along with this shutdown.

    Last Minute Trips - Canada

    With Julien & Collin

    Waffsicle
    Premiered 1/25/2018

    Descriptive:

    Julien and Collin start a Youtube live video where they not only chat with their audience online, but allow them to join in on the process of seeing where their “dart” will take them.

    They each get a dart and they blindfold themselves before literally tossing it at a large map on the wall.

    We then are there, LIVE, with 2 destinations in mind. One at each dart point.

    They then take a poll from their live audience (via twitter and YT live) and then, in that moment book a LAST MINUTE TRIP to the winning destination.

    Most of the time on the trip, the guys don’t know where they are going or what they are going to do from the moment they get off the plane in their new destination. This includes, not knowing where they are sleeping that night… or if there is even a rental car place nearby. This spontaneity and in the moment approach is the point of the show. - They genuinely explore, and check out the town. They run into locals, and learn about what makes the towns awesome (or not awesome). They talk to fans across all their social platforms (Twitter, Snapchat, Skype, Instragam, etc..) and get suggestions from them on things to do or see while on their trip.

    Jim Elvidge - Digital Consciousness: The True Nature of Reality?

    LegaliseFreedom1

    Part One


    Jim Elvidge discusses his book 'Digital Consciousness: A Transformative Vision'. Our reality is not what it appears to be. The latest physics experiments demonstrate that an objective reality simply does not exist. Despite its immense value to humanity, modern science's claim that it can account for the depth and diversity of experience, and in the foreseeable future explain the fundamental nature of reality, goes too far. Modern mainstream science maintains that matter is all that matters, and that the seemingly-solid three-dimensional world of our five senses is all there really is. But the list of phenomena adequately accounted for by the physical sciences is outstripped by those it cannot explain and instead simply chooses to ignore.

    The most profound of these is the riddle of consciousness itself. The best hypothesis proffered by mainstream science is that consciousness is a mere epiphenomenon of the brain, a by-product which arises when organisms reach a certain degree of complexity. But what if the opposite were true? What if that which we call matter actually arises within mind, a universal sea of consciousness forming the fundamental ground of reality? Not only does this model reflect ancient spiritual and wisdom traditions spanning the globe and reaching back into pre-history, when unified with cutting edge quantum physics, it forms the basis for an all-encompassing cosmology offering answers to the eternal questions of existence and the deepest mysteries of life.

    Bruce Lipton weighs in on a world of harmony

    www.brucelipton.com

    Quantum Physics: The Science of Conflict Resolution
    By simple definition, the term conflict represents an incompatibility between two or more opinions, principles, or interests. The nature of conflict goes back time immemorial, in the biblical sense, starting with the story of Cain and Abel.

    However, the field of science did not officially weigh in on the subject of conflict until the founding of physics by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 1600’s. In defining the mechanisms of the Universe, Newtonian principles separated the spiritual (energetic) plane from the physical realm, and in the process, created a polarity that is still brewing, the conflict between Science and Religion.

    Newtonian physics further expanded the realm of conflict by acknowledging that objects in the material realm represented separate discrete entities. For example, the computer and you are two distinct and separate entities that appear to be independent of one another; or for example, the period at the end of this sentence is separate and distinct from the periods at the end of the previous sentence or the end of the following sentence. Newtonian science emphasized that material objects could be separated from one another and studied independently.

    In assessing the Universe on this principle, the material world is perceived to be made up of a myriad of individual objects, many of which can display characteristics that make them appear to be polar opposites. In scientific assessments, humans can be separated and studied as independent individuals or they can be collectively assigned into categories. On the basis of racial character, for example, individuals can be grouped into categories representing black, brown, white, yellow, or red populations.

    Racial “groups” can be further catalogued based on subjective characteristics of strengths and weaknesses, including traits such as intelligence, physical empowerment, and ethics. It is the perception of “different” amongst the groups that has been the historic foundation for creating and justifying conflict; women vs men, whites vs blacks, settlers vs indigenous natives, Jews vs Muslims, the list goes on.

    The culture’s emphasis on “separate” was officially invalidated in 1925 when the world was introduced to a new science, Quantum Physics. The formerly separated energetic (spiritual) and material realms were unified when physicists recognized that material atoms were actually a “condensed” form of energy; physicality is an illusion!

    Atoms, comprised of energy vortices, spin and generate “waves” of an electromagnetic field. A useful analogy is to consider the rain drops and the ripples they create in the pool of water illustrated below. Each rain drop represents a spinning atom and the radiating ripples it creates represent the electromagnetic energy waves that radiate from each atom.

    The profound point: The ripples from each drop of water across the whole surface of the pool are all interconnected. Likewise, the energy from each atom comprising our perception of matter is connected to the energy waves emitted by every other atom in the Universe! The Universe is a unity of energy where everything is connected and entangled. The Universe cannot be divided into separate elements. All is one! What we define as separate polarizing elements, are in reality a gradient within a unity. For example, black and white are NOT separate entities, they are part of single gradient comprised of a billion different shades of gray.

    Newtonian science emphasizes individuality, while quantum physics emphasizes unity. The profound point here is to consider the question, “Do we have the option of choosing one of these opposing views of the Universe’s physics over the other?” The answer is NO for two reasons: 1) Quantum physics has been proven to be the most valid and truthful of all sciences on planet Earth, and 2) Newtonian physics represents a small subset of principles built into the field of quantum physics.

    This conclusion is most important in that the “unity” emphasized in quantum physics is the metric by which the Universe works. If we want to live in harmony and health, we must own from the core of our being that we are one with the Universe. We must live with the reality that we are not separate “individuals,” we are *Humans First!

    This month’s video is a wonderful example of how the quantum physics universe can be used to resolve the nearly 200-year-old conflict between the proponents of Creationism and those favoring Evolution. Combining these apparently polar opposite philosophies, creates a harmony with which we can all live and enjoy in the absence of conflict!
