You were just speaking of this and it popped up.
It’s a segment fromt he documentary ‘Thrive’.
I can post it too if you would like?

Spirit Into Matter — The Geometry of Life

A short video clip of scientific exploration — illustrating how consciousness comes into form, and its importance in harnessing the energy of the future.

Right around 2:20 he talks about the connections and he calls it a "tornado like energy". When I saw that it triggered a memory of a vision I had during meditation the other night. The unfolding thoughts around the imagery were this is how the cellular memories are connected to our emotional field. That whenever I process a traumatic memory to clear it out of my "field" this is what it looks like before it's cleared - from both the field and the cells in my body.

Then the vision changed to show me sitting in the center of my field(bubble) with many of these 'tornado like energy cords" extending outward from me to connect with "Other".

Any time I have invited Water to come dance with me and my cells the vision shows the energy of Water flowing down into and dancing with the Torus of my cells.

I bet this fascinates you because your Merkaba is contained within the sacred geometry Foster describes in the video. :)

It is very intriguing!
I have to say I don’t agree 100% with the Documentary this was taken from, but you cannot ignore the reality of a fundamental shape…an initial “thing” that propagated the universe…either way you follow the geometry to the large or small scale, it is always this fundamental instruction to space/time.

Sure, frequencies do a lot. There's a lot more to it than frequency though as every wave has a shape, and nearly all natural waves have what are called harmonics or partials. Sound waves are incredibly and almost incomprehensibly complicated.

I agree with @sprinkles
But just on another note.

I get very depressed if I don’t listen to music every day!
That and lots of incense.

8 Musts For Empaths



Once you have clarified that you are indeed an empath, then you have accepted that you are a little “different”.
(Here is a link to previous post to see if you are an empath. )

There are different rules that you should abide by to prevent yourself from harm and to learn how to harness your gifts towards your higher purpose.
Chances are if you are not an empath then you have a friend or family member that is.

As empaths get older and wiser they tend to gravitate towards one another so it is not uncommon to eventually surround yourself with several like-minded people.
Being a meter for those around you can be exhausting so with experiences and wisdom you naturally filter out the dark shadows in your life.

I’m not saying to isolate yourself in your house, quite the contrary.
I want to give you tools so that you can vibrate at your highest frequency possible to be the light warrior that this world so desperately needs.

1. Acceptance

Accept that most of the feelings you are feeling are not yours.
Sometimes having empathy for everyone that you come into contact with can make you feel like an emotional roller coaster, but accepting that most of them are probebly not yours and they will soon pass should offer some relief.

Being able to become a part of the person with whom you are sharing times in your life with is a true gift but be picky with who you share yourself with.
Some will take advantage.

As I always say, the bugs are always attracted to the light.
The more you harness your gift, the less this will happen.

2. Protection

Surround yourself with an invisible shield.
Continually throughout the day visually surround yourself with an invisible shield so that only the people you want in can get it.

This will protect you from feeling drained after being around a lot of people and help you appear invisible to those you don’t want attention from.
Once you have mastered your own shield then begin shielding your loved ones and continue on until you have the entire world enveloped in a shield of love.

3. Be wise

Do not suppress your power with alcohol and drugs.
It is very tempting for empaths to try and supress all that they are feeling with substance and drug abuse.

Trying to mask the feelings that they have taken on.
Hoping that by numbing themselves with getting high or drunk there will be some relief.

Drugs and alcohol are NEVER the answer.
Lost souls depend and rely on these substances to temporarily feel good, when in turn it just suppresses their happiness and can easily turn into a downward spiral of depression and deadly addictions.

If you are an empath, you will also be more sensitive to alcohol and drugs.
A little experimenting for a normal person could be a definition of a good time but to an empath it could be deadly.

Real fulfillment comes in the form of accepting your gifts and utilizing them to the best of your abilities.
These steps will help you do just that.

4. Surrender

Food addictions, obsessive compulsive disorders.
Growing up as a sensitive child can be a recipe for disaster if you don’t have someone to help guide you through your special needs.

My Mom never understood why I preferred to be alone, even as a child.
But it was the only time I felt in control of my surroundings.

I didn’t understand why people where always dumping their lives onto me and needing me to help them.
I didn’t know how to protect myself and transmute the energies.

I felt tired and confused all the time.
My only peace was when I was alone or dancing.

In a desperate need to regain some control I developed a knack for organizing my room that spun out into an obsessive compulsion where everything had to be in a perfect way. Obsessive disorders and food disorders are not uncommon to empaths, as they feel like it is the only thing that they have control over.

As I got older I understood, acknowledged and ultimately surrendered control and was able to overcome my OCD.

5. Meditation

Spend time alone in silence, tuning into your knowingness.
Alone time is vital for empaths to be able to connect and get rooted back into their own bodies.

Check in several times a day to let go of emotions that may have latched onto you and give yourself the opportunity to release and get clear.

6. Earthing

Empaths crave nature and it is a great support for empaths.
It is one place where they actually get recharged instead of being the one to charge everyone else.

Touching the earth often is cleansing and healing.
Walk barefoot outside for several minutes a day and lay on the ground as often as you can.

Try touching your forehead to the earth upon rising and before bed.
This is called child’s pose in yoga and is also a very common pose practiced in a lot of prayer rituals.

Be sure to at least touch the ground or shake off energies after you have been hugging or meeting a lot of people.
This goes without saying when you are doing any kind of body work.

Be mindful of who you let massage or work on you, as you might end up healing them by taking their pain on, if you don’t learn to transmute and discharge that shadow energy you can get sick.

Give it to Mother Earth she will recycle it into love, as you do.

7. Release

Finding constructive ways to transform and release the energies that are not yours is vital for an empath.
Dance, sing, sports, paint, anything that you can do to have a creative outlet to get lost in and transmute shadow energies so that you can live in your optimum health and vibrate at your highest frequency.

I always say that dance saved my life.
It was one of my tools to release all the pain and emotions that I took on.

8. High frequency music

High frequency sounds have the capability to heal and repair your DNA.
A perfect way for empaths to cleanse and replenish your body so that it can work at it’s highest capacity.

I see it as a tune up for my soul.
Listen frequently and share with your family and friends.

This also makes great lullaby music for babies and children.
Sounds that I love are 528hz (love frequency) or 432hz (earth frequency).

* Higher vibrations consume and transform lower vibrations. -LaOta Rassoull
 
Empath
(The Extra-Sensitive Being)


An Empath is a person that is hypersensitive to the emotions and energy of other people, as well as animals.
They have the ability to physically feel the emotions of a person/animal standing
within their Auric field.

Empaths have this sense of “knowing” and very strong intuition.
Empaths are the people who feel their way through life.

They are born highly sensitive with the
ability of empathy to help them understand their surroundings on a deeper level than the physical.
This ability grants them the opportunity to help people heal.

This is done through means of
stepping into the shoes of a person to gain a better understanding of the situation.
Most Empaths
are born with a ‘knowing’ that aids as a proper form of guidance.

They intuitively seem to ‘know’
there is more to a story than what meets the eye.
This is why it is impossible to lie to an Empath.

They are also very in-tune with their intuition, as it is very strong.
This is why Empaths are sought
to be more spiritually evolved than most, because they are born with a connection to their higher consciousness.

They live a life through their soul without the need of development.

Empaths have this energy that influences self-reflection onto other people.

They feel every emotion and energy that vibrates in their presence.
When someone is angry, an
Empath will feel the anger throughout their body.

The anger feels them like a speed train carrying
chaos on a track that is unstable.
This is why an Empath might sometimes hold in their emotions
until they just bust.

If a child screams at the parent that is screaming, this is why.
Empaths don’t
understand the feeling of anger, nor do they understand the feeling of fear.

They are usually
always happy, though they can be completely opposite as well.
Their energy influences optimism onto others, along with feelings of deep thought
and self-reflection.

They are often very bright, independent, imaginative, creative and adventurous
as children.
Empaths are the people one can’t help but love.

Empaths are generally very understanding of other people and their positions.
They will never
pass judgement on someone without their own opinion from an encounter through experience.

They often times will ask questions to gain their own perspective on someone or something.
When someone justifies something about someone, it means nothing to an Empath, because how someone views another person is only one side of the story.

This is why most Empaths are
looked at as being Fake, or two-faced, as they have a liking for everyone.
Empaths are people-
pleasers.

They can’t help it.

Empaths are extra sensitive to violence and sadness.
Empaths are sensitive to television, books, videos, movies, news and broadcasts.

Violence,
chaotic news, obscene behavior, emotional dramas and depressing stories depicting shocking scenes of physical, or emotional pain, inflicted people and animals can easily bring an Empath to tears.

They do not tolerate injustice and speak on behalf of their perception of what is and what
should be.
Empaths absorb emotions from others unconsciously.

At times, they can even feel the emotions of a person that is located miles away.
This happens
when an Empath, when in contact with a person, unconsciously makes a connection with that person.

When an Empath is undeveloped they don’t have the knowledge to understand the
importance of distinguishing which emotions are theirs and which are absorbed from other people.

Often times this will leave the Empath to experience different and random levels of
emotions and energy.
They might experience feelings of being drained, moody, depressed, angry
for no reason, unsure about life and self-conscious.

It’s hard to understand the identity of an
Empath when they aren’t even able to familiarize themselves with their own emotions.
This is why
it is important for an Empath to development their ability in order to master their gift.

Empaths are born with a natural skill of observation.
Accompanied with the ability to feel is the ability of observation.

It comes naturally to them to
study the body language and tone of voice of people.
This is often how they identify people.

Their
liking for one depends on one’s choice of words, body movement and/or facial expressions.

Empaths are born innovators.
Most Empaths are the born writers, singers, musicians and artists of the world and quite often exhibit a high degree of creativity and imagination.

They are known for many talents as their
interests are diverse and varied.
They often have interests in many cultures and religions and
view them with a broad-minded perspective.

Empaths are the sponges of the world.
They are the psychic sponges of the world.

They soak up all the psychic and emotional static that
other people give off.
Being an Empath is one of the most common psychic abilities, but it is also
the most challenging.

Most Empaths go through a suicidal stage.
Not understanding their ability causes them to become quiet and withdrawn from the outside world.
They often times become loners, depressed, neurotic, day-dreamers, or even narcissistic.

When an Empath is undeveloped the emotions will overtake their lives.
This causes them to
become depressed where they lose touch with their feelings by not allowing themselves to feel anything.

An Empath going through depression is something that has an influence on the people
around him/her.
It can be felt by anyone in the Empaths presence.

Many suffer from self-
medicated addictions such as drugs, alcohol and often food.
Empaths put the needs of others before those of their own.

Empaths are often times very selfless.
This comes naturally to them, as they have a need to cater and nurture those among them.

Being
able to openly feel what is outside of them causes them to ignore what is inside of them.
They are
great listeners, which makes them some of the greatest people to talk with.

Most Empaths are
known as the mother hen of the family, along with being the psychologist amongst peers.
Although, some Empaths might be quite the opposite.

They might even become narcissistic.

The Two Basic Types of Empaths:

Emotional and Cognitive

Emotional Empath

Is an Empath that has the ability to physically feel the emotions and energyof the other person, as though their emotions were contagious.
This kind of Empathy makes
someone well-attuned to another person’s inner emotional world.

Cognitive Empath

Is an Empath that has a conscious need to imaginatively put oneself in theplace of another.
This is done to genuinely understand a person, which requires the
consciousness to identify truth with ones immediate perceptions of long-standing thought or belief.

TYPES of EMOTIONAL EMPATHS:

Manifestive Empath:

The ability to create their own reality and infuse the reality of others.

Intuitive Empath

(
Clairempathy):

is the ability to sense/feel the attitudes/emotions of others.

Healing Empath:

The ability to take in the energy of others and transmute it.

Spiritual Empath:

The ability to sense the other persons oneness with their god.

TYPES of COGNITIVE EMPATHS:

Precognitive Empath:

The ability to predict a certain outcome and see where paths lead.

Telepathic Empath:

The ability to have thoughts, as well as feelings.

Judgement Empath:

The ability to distinguish truth from lies and good from evil.

Seer Empath:

The ability to see where the emotions are coming from, along with the cause.

RARE TYPES of EMPATHS:

Molecular Empath:

The ability to blend their aura with the aura of another person.

Animal Empath:

The ability to talk to animals and understand their needs.

Shaman Empath:

The ability to be one with nature and speak with animals and plant life.

Universal Empath:

The ability to possess all of the Empath traits.
The psychic-hybrid.





 
The Heart Consciousness – a Neurological Perspective


Heart-Consciousness-a-Physiological-Perspective.jpg

During organ transplantation there have been numerous reports of emotions, memories and experiences being transferred along with the organ which is being transplanted, from the donor to the recipient.

Dr. Paul Pearsall has collected the cases of 73 heart transplant patients and 67 other organ transplant recipients and published them in his book, “The Hearts Code” (1).

Here is a sample of a case that has been reported.

Transplant recipient develops desire for chicken nuggets and green peppers.


On May 29, 1988, an American woman named Claire Sylvia received a heart transplant at a hospital in Yale, Connecticut. She was told that her donor was an 18 year-old male from Maine who had just died in a motorcycle accident.

Soon after her operation, Sylvia declared that she felt like drinking beer, something she hadn’t particularly been fond of before.
Later, she observed an uncontrollable urge to eat chicken nuggets and found herself drawn to visiting the popular chicken restaurant chain, KFC.

She also began craving green peppers which she hadn’t particularly liked before.
She started behaving in an aggressive and impetuous manner following the surgery.

Sylvia also began having recurring dreams about a mystery man named Tim, whom she felt was the organ donor.
She searched for obituaries in newspapers published from Maine and was able to identify the young man whose heart she had received.

His name had indeed been Tim.
After visiting Tim’s family, she discovered that he used to love chicken nuggets, green peppers and beer.

These experiences are documented in her book, A Change of Heart: A Memoir (2).

The Heart Brain


In 1974, the French researchers Gahery and Vigier, working with cats, stimulated the vagus nerve (which carries many of the signals from the heart to the brain) and found that the brain’s electrical response was reduced to about half its normal rate when stimulating the vagus nerve (3).

The heart appeared to be sending meaningful messages to the brain that it not only understood, but also obeyed (4).
Later, neurophysiologists discovered a neural pathway and mechanism whereby input from the heart to the brain could inhibit or facilitate the brain’s electrical activity (5).

Dr. Armour introduced the idea of functional “heart brain.” His research revealed that the heart has a complex intrinsic nervous system that is sufficiently refined to qualify as a “little brain” in its own right, due to its independent existence.

The heart’s nervous system contains around 40,000 neurons, called sensory neurites.
The heart’s brain is an intricate network of several types of neurons, neurotransmitters, proteins and support cells similar to those found in the brain proper.

Its elaborate circuitry enables it to act independently of the cranial brain to learn, remember, and even feel and sense (6).
Information from the heart, including feeling sensations, is sent to the brain through several afferents.

These afferent nerve pathways enter the brain at the area of the medulla, and cascade up into the higher centers of the brain, where they may influence perception, decision making and other cognitive processes (7).

When heart rhythm patterns are coherent the neural information sent to the brain facilitates cortical function.
This effect is often experienced as heightened mental clarity, improved decision making and increased creativity.

Additionally, coherent input from the heart tends to facilitate the experience of positive feeling states (8).
States of increased heart rhythm coherence are associated with improvements in cognitive performance (9).

The brain’s alpha wave activity is synchronized to the cardiac cycle.
During states of high heart rhythm coherence, alpha wave synchronization to the heart’s activity significantly increases (10).

The heart’s afferent neurological signals directly affect activity in the amygdala and associated nuclei, an important emotional processing center in the brain.
The amygdala is the key brain center that coordinates behavioral, immunological, and neuroendocrine responses to environmental threats.

It compares incoming emotional signals with stored emotional memories, and accordingly makes instantaneous decisions about the level of perceived threat.
Due to its extensive connections to the limbic system, it is able to take over the neural pathways, activating the autonomic nervous system and emotional response before the higher brain centers receive the sensory information (11).

The heart communicates information to the brain and throughout the body via electromagnetic field interactions.
The heart generates the body’s most powerful and most extensive rhythmic electromagnetic field.

The heart’s magnetic component is about 500 times stronger than the brain’s magnetic field and can be detected several feet away from the body.
It was proposed that, this heart field acts as a carrier wave for information that provides a global synchronizing signal for the entire body (12).

There is now evidence that an influential electromagnetic communication system operates just below our conscious awareness.
Energetic interactions possibly contribute to the magnetic attractions or repulsions that occur between individuals, and also affect social relationships.

It was also found that one person’s brain waves can synchronize to another person’s heart (13).
When people touch or are in proximity one person’s heartbeat signal is registered in the other person’s brainwaves (14).

When two people are at a conversational distance, the electromagnetic signal generated by one person’s heart can influence the other person’s brain rhythms.
When an individual is generating a coherent heart rhythm, synchronization between that individual’s brainwaves and another person’s heart-beat is more likely to occur (15).

Individuals capable of generating high ratios of heart coherence were able to alter DNA conformation according to their intention.
Intending to denature (un-wind) or renature (wind) the DNA had corresponding effects on the UV spectra (16).

As people learn to sustain heart-focused positive feeling states, the brain can be brought into entrainment with the heart (17).
The conclusion is the need of pointing to the heart as the center of consciousness.

Guided Insight Meditation For Responding To Social Unrest


Screen-shot-2015-05-13-at-3.57.07-PM-728x400.png


Personal transformation can and does have global effects.
As we go, so goes the world, for the world is us.
The revolution that will save the world is ultimately a personal one.

Marianne Williamson


Last year, on December 5th, a young man was shot and killed by a police officer at the Hollywood & Highland intersection, right around the corner from my Los Angeles apartment.

This happened in a flurry of news stories of other cases of US police using deadly force.
With the news came several disturbing photographs, including a photo of two police officers pointing their guns down at the man’s dying body sprawled out on the Walk of Fame.

I experienced a powerful wave of complicated emotional response.
Images of riots, tear gas, guns & ambulances flashed through my mind.

It was overwhelming.
I felt my heart cave in.

I immediately fell to my knees in prayer, tears streaming down my face.
This is bigger than gun laws and law enforcement, bigger than Hollywood, bigger than racism.

When things like this are happening, it is an indication of something nefarious about the world we are living in, about the health of our culture, and about the future of the reality we are creating together.

“We are not speaking here of life after death in some mythical heaven, but life more abundant in real time in history.
We are speaking of the next stage of our social evolution.”
Barbara Marx Hubbard

Earlier this week, a similar incident took place.
Yet another young man was shot and killed by a police officer –this time, in Venice, right around the corner from Full Circle Venice, a very cool local community center.

I’ve been facilitating meditation classes there regularly since they opened a year ago and have developed a deep fondness, love, and appreciation for the community and culture of Venice Beach.

The young man killed this week was named Brendon Glenn, and he was a part of that community.
Andrew Keegan, founder of Full Circle Venice, participated in vigils, protests and community meetings regarding the shooting.

This week, Venice has been distraught and restless.
This time, I am experiencing a different kind of emotional response.

Yes, I’m feeling a familiar combination of heartbreak and disappointment, anger and frustration; but this time the context is much greater.
This is not only a redux of something tragic that seems to keep happening, but it seems to keep happening here.

This triggered a sense of increased urgency & responsibility, a tone of heaviness & importance.
The only way this can create something positive is if it impacts and inspires us – we have to choose to allow it to.

“It’s no longer enough to be a decent person.
It’s no longer enough to shake our heads and make concerned grimaces at the news.
True enlightened activism is the only thing that can save humanity from itself.”
Joss Whedon

I will allow this to impact me.
I am allowing this to inspire me to take action, to change.

I will stand up and take my life more seriously.
I will interact more intentionally with society.

I will participate in the greater narrative moving history.
I will pay attention.

I will find a way to contribute.
This time, I will do more than pray and hope for the best.

Will you join me?
Will you allow this to impact you, too?

Will you also interact with this world, stand up and take life seriously?
Will you participate?

Will you pay attention and find a way to actually contribute?
Will you do more than just pray and hope for the best?

We co-create this reality that we experience together, and we can only create change together.
The world does not need to be how it has been all along.

We have the power to change everything, and we all have a role to play.
Our purpose in life is highly individualized (to say the least) but no one is left out of this conversation.

Don’t feel small.
Don’t feel insignificant.

Absolutely every individual alive today has the power to impact the future forever.
Don’t waste time holding back or hesitating.

The world is transforming, and not only do we have front row seats, we get to participate and co-create what the world will become after we transform.
I’ve designed a meditation (see video below) to help facilitate the conditions for insight.

This can be for anything, but was created with the idea of aligning with a greater purpose, perceiving a bigger context, and living a more meaningful life.
This meditation is self-guided and self-directed – great for all experience levels.

Any meditation is what you make of it.
The deeper you allow yourself to go, the deeper you will go.

Surrender to the experience.
After the meditation, journal any insight.

This Lens Could Give You Superhuman Vision

Ocumetics Technology Corp claims to have developed a painless eight-minute procedure that would give you vision that is supposedly three times better than 20/20.

The "bionic" lenses would give even 100-year-olds better vision than anything currently available.
Does this sound too good to be true?

Well, we can’t tell, as it has yet to undergo any clinical trials.

“Freedom from glasses and contact lenses is a goal that is now a reality,” Ocumetics says on its website.

The CEO, Dr Gareth Webb, a Canadian optometrist, invented the "button-shaped" lens and has been working on the product for eight years of research, costing $3m.

"This is vision enhancement that the world has never seen before. If you can just barely see the clock at 10 feet, when you get the Bionic Lens you can see the clock at 30 feet away," Webb told CBC.

The procedure is similar to cataract surgery.
It involves removing your original lens and replacing it with an Ocumetics' Bionic Lens, which is folded into a syringe in a saline solution and injected directly into your eye.

Webb says that the specialized lens would also prevent people from developing cataracts as the procedure replaces natural lenses, which decay over time.

He presented his lens to a group of leading ophthalmologists in San Diego earlier last month.

Webb told CBC that responses have been positive, with some eager to get involved in clinical trials.

"There's a lot of excitement about the Bionic Lens from very experienced surgeons who perhaps had some cynicism about this because they've seen things not work in the past. They think that this might actually work and they're eager enough that they all wish to be on the medical advisory board to help him on his journey," Dr. Vincent DeLuise, an ophthalmologist who teaches at Yale University, told CBC.

The Bionic Lens would make contacts lenses, glasses and laser surgery obsolete, Webb says.
If they do pass those all-important clinical trials, he suggests they could be available in two years’ time.

In the meantime, I’d recommend holding onto your glasses and contact lenses.

NASA Brings Scientists & Theologians Together To Prepare World For Extraterrestrial Contact



ex-728x400.jpeg


A couple of months ago top US astronomers gathered in front of congress to let them know that extraterrestrial life exists without question.
Their main argument was the size of the universe, emphasizing that there are trillions of stars out there, with one in every five most likely harboring an Earth-like planet.

It’s also important to keep in mind that planets do not have to be “Earth-like” in order to harbor life.
You can read more about that story here.

“The number of habitable worlds in our galaxy is certainly in the tens of billions, minimum, and we haven’t even talked about the moons. And the number of galaxies we can see, other than our own, is about 100 billion.” —
Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at California’s SETI Institute (source)

This time, NASA and the Library of Congress have teamed up bringing together scientists, theologians, philosophers and historians from around the globe for a two day symposium in order to discuss how to prepare the world for extraterrestrial contact, whether it be microbial organisms or intelligent beings.

“We’re looking at all scenarios about finding life.
If you find microbes, that’s one thing.
If you find intelligence, it’s another.
And if they communicate, it’s something else, and depending on what they say, it’s something else!

The idea is not to wait until we make a discovery, but to try and prepare the public for what the implications might be when such a discovery is made.

I think the reason that NASA is backing this is because of all the recent activity in the discovery of exoplanets and the advances in astrobiology in general.

People just consider it much more likely now that we’re going to find something – probably microbes first and maybe intelligence later.

The driving force behind this is from a scientific point of view that it seems much more likely now that we are going to find life at some point in the future.

One of the theologians present was Brother Guy Consolmagno, who is the new president of the Vatican Observatory Foundation.
This is what he had to say:

“I Believe [alien life exists], but I have no evidence. I would be really excited and it would make my understanding of my religion deeper and richer in ways that I can’t even predict yet, which is why it would be so exciting.”
(source)

He is urging the public not to be so surprised when extraterrestrial life is discovered, because it will be discovered.
He even said that he would be happy to baptize them, if it’s intelligent extraterrestrial life that’s discovered.

The Vatican has been very open to the idea of intelligent extraterrestrial life, and they’ve expressed these views for a very long time.
Earth is not the center of the universe, it’s not flat, and it’s looking very likely that the next major paradigm shifting revelation will be the fact that we are not alone in the universe.

It’s great to see the mainstream world gather, discuss and prepare for this possibility and ultimate reality, and it’s a great seg-way to create more awareness about the world of secrecy, the world’s within our world that deal with projects the human race knows nothing about.

The Other Probability — Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life Is Already Here


[video=youtube;yO0T05kQkbs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yO0T05kQkbs[/video]

In the United States alone, at least half of all Americans say that we’re not alone in the universe.
Fifty percent of Americans already believe that there is some form of life on other planets, while only seventeen percent think that there isn’t.

A quarter of Americans believe that intelligent extraterrestrial visitors have already come to Earth and have been doing so for a long time. (source)

Here’s one of them:

“Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered.
We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.” (source) (source)
Apollo 14 Astronaut, Air Force Captain and Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Dr. Edgar Mitchell

There are multiple reasons why the extraterrestrial question continues to gain popularity.
People are starting to ask questions about the world around them, utilizing critical thinking and investigation.

After thoroughly investigating this topic your conclusions will be similar to the conclusions of the majority, we are not alone, and we are being visited.

1. The Size of the Universe


How often do you look up into the night sky and wonder just how many stars, planets, galaxies and more are out there?
Space has been a high area of interest that has always fascinated scientists, philosophers, musicians and pretty much just about everyone.

What is it about deep space that grabs our attention so much?
To think about just how big the universe is can really put things into perspective.

Counting the stars in the universe is like trying to count the number of sand grains on a beach , not possible.
Although estimates vary among different experts, the general consensus is that there are at least between 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies in our universe.

Think about that for a moment, and now throw in billions of stars in each galaxy! (source)
This number could very easily be in the trillions for all we know.

Take the Milky Way Galaxy for example, which measures to about 120,000 light years across (it would take light that many years to travel across the galaxy), and contains up to 400 billion stars.

Again, that’s billions of galaxies that contain billions of stars. (source)
Scientists estimate that at least 10 billion habitable Earth-sized planets exist in the milky way alone ( one galaxy out of billions), but it’s important to keep an open mind as to what type of conditions and environments some unknown extraterrestrial like forms could thrive in.

They all don’t necessarily have to be Earth-like.

Given our estimation of the size of the universe, or multiverse (whatever you want to call it), odds are we are not alone.

2. Whistle Blowers

The past few years have seen a surge of whistle-blowers that’ve come out and said some remarkable things.
Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden and Julian Assange have received the most attention, but the reality is that there are hundreds of whistle blowers who have come forward with verified credentials and backgrounds.

Mass survelience and the security state is not the only thing shocking people around the world, it’s the fact that many of these whistle blowers claim that we are not alone in the universe.

It wouldn’t be so hard to ignore if it wasn’t for the backgrounds these people have in their respected fields.
The first one that comes to mind is Paul Hellyer, Former Canadian Defence Minister, the man responsible for unifying the Canadian Air Force, Army and the Navy into one united force now known as the Canadian Forces.

For someone with such a background to come out and make these extraordinary claims definitely grabbed the attention of many people.

“Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about the direction we were heading and offered to help.
Instead, some of us interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after.
Trillions of dollars have been spent on black projects which both congress and the commander in chief have deliberately been kept in the dark.” (source)

(Read more about “black projectsHERE.)

”In one of the cases during the cold war, 1961, there were about 50 UFOs in formation flying South from Russia across Europe.
The supreme allied commander was very concerned and was about ready to press the panic button when they turned around and went back over the North Pole.
They decided to do an investigation and they investigated for three years and they decided that with absolute certainty that four different species, at least, have been visiting this planet for thousands of years.
There’s been a lot more activity in the past two decades, especially since we invented the atomic bomb.” (source)

Paul Hellyer isn’t the only one making extraordinary statements, at least a dozen NASA astronauts have done the same.
Just like Dr. Edgar Mitchell’s quote, other astronauts have said some remarkable things.

Let’s take a look at a few (out of many) examples.

“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time.
That their appearance is bizarre from any type of traditional materialistic western point of view.
That these visitors use the technologies of consciousness, they use toroids, they use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, that seems to be a common denominator of the UFO phenomenon” (source)
Dr. Brian O’leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor

“In my opinion I think they were worried that it would panic the public so they started telling lies about it.
And then I think they had to tell another lie to cover their first lie, now they don’t know how to get out of it.
Now it’s going to be so embarrassing to admit that all these administrations have told so many untruths, it would be embarrassing getting out of it.
There are a number of extraterrestrial vehicles out there cruising around.” (source)
Gordon Cooper, Former NASA Astronaut, Aeronautical Engineer and test pilot.
One of the seven original Astronauts in Project Mercury, the first manned space program of the United States

The list goes on and on, the latest in NASA Astronaut statements about UFOs came from the 2005 International Space Station (ISS) Commander, Leroy Chiao.
You can read more about that HERE.

Here
is a video of John Podesta who was recently appointed as councillor to Barack Obama supporting UFO disclosure.
Some of the most extraordinary statements about UFOs and extraterrestrials come from persons who have held some of the highest positions known.

Those who would be in a position to ‘know’ about possible extraterrestrial encounters.

“Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs.
But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense”
Former head of CIA, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, 1960 (source)

There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations.
Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source)
Lord Admiral Hill-Norton, Former Chief of Defence Staff, 5 Star Admiral of the Royal Navy, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee

"Everything is in a process of investigation both in the United States and in Spain, as well as the rest of the world.
The nations of the world are currently working together in the investigation of the UFO phenomenon.
There is an international exchange of data.”
General Carlos Castro Cavero (1979).
From “UFOs and the National Security State, Volume 2″, Written by Richard Dolan

The list of military whistle blowers is huge, there are hundreds of them and hundreds of quotes to choose from.
To view military whistleblowers (with verified backgrounds) give a press conference at The National Press Club about UFOs deactivating nuclear weapons, click HERE.

You can also look up Dr. Steven Greer and the disclosure project.
The list of quotes from all fields, from many people is outstanding.

I could literally fill pages upon pages so I’ll stop here, I think you get the picture.
These quotes by whistleblowers and people with prestigious backgrounds leads perfectly into the next point as to why almost everybody knows that we are not alone in the universe.

“There is another way whether it’s wormholes or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re here shows us that they found a way.” (source)
— Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of Nebraska.
In this clip, it seems he (Dr. Jack Kasher) is referring to FREE ENERGY.

“This thing has gotten so highly-classified…it is just impossible to get anything on it.
I have no idea who controls the flow of need-to-know because,
frankly, I was told in such an emphatic way that it was none of my business that I’ve never tried to make it to be my business since.
I have been interested in this subject for a long time and I do know that whatever the Air Force has on the subject is going to remain highly classified”
Senator Barry Goldwater , Chairman of the Senate intelligence committee (source)

3. The Evidence of UFOs


Within the past few years, dozens of governments admitted to allocating resources and having programs to study the UFO phenomenon.
For instance, in Canada the RCMP, Transport Canada, and the Department of National Defence recently admitted to tracking UFOs and investigating them. (source)

They’ve been doing it for years, accumulating thousands upon thousands of UFO related documents.
Many of these documents have since been officially released.

HERE
is the latest batch of UFO files released from the United Kingdom.
Documents released by the National Security Agency (NSA) reveal what is recorded when a UFO is being tracked on radar.

HERE
is one example.
HERE is a four page U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and NSA report describing a particular encounter in great detail.

“As the F-4 approached a range of 25 nautical miles it lost all instrumentation and communications.
When the F-4 turned away from the object and apparently was no longer a threat to it, the aircraft regained all instrumentation and communications.
Another brightly lighted object came out of the original object.
The second object headed straight toward the F4. ”

You can read more about the radar tracking of UFOs HERE.
HERE is a Wikileak cable that describes how some politicians already know we are not alone in the universe.

You can read more about that HERE.
Again the list goes on and on and thousands upon thousands of UFO related documents are now available in the public domain.

For a summary of more documents that have been declassified and made available, a video done by UFO Richard Dolan does a great one in 10 minutes.
To watch it click HERE. and see what type of information is out there.

4. Mass Mainstream Media Attention


Media outlets of all kind are covering the topic, almost every movie that comes out these days has something to do with space or some kind of extraterrestrial intelligence.
We’ve been bombarded with the topic for a while now so it’s not hard to see how it’s on the minds of many.

The most recent case of mainstream extraterrestrial ‘noise’ was made when scientists recently spoke to the house Committee on Science, Space and Technology.
Dan Werthimer of the SETI Research Centre at the University of California, Berkeley, recently called for more funding to be allocated to the search for extraterrestrial life since he is “close to 100 percent” certain that we are not alone. (source)

In mid 2013, the same committee held a hearing about exoplanet discoveries, but perhaps one of the largest UFO/extraterrestrial hearings came at the National Press Club, which also took place in Mid-2013.

At this event, hundreds of researchers, activists and military/agency/political witnesses representing ten countries gave UFO/extraterrestrial testimony to six former members of the United States Congress about events and evidence indicating an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.
Former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska), and 2008 presidential candidate said that there is “an extraterrestrial influence that is investigating our planet. Something is monitoring the planet and they are monitoring it very cautiously.”

You can learn more about the citizens hearing here.
Apart from these events, UFOs are constantly a topic of interest in today’s mainstream news.

Unfortunately, most mainstream media outlets that cover the topic seek out to ridicule it rather than investigating it properly.

HERE
is a clip on the same topic on CBC news.


5. Personal Experience & Video Footage

ufo-300x230.jpeg


There are millions of people out there claiming to have contact with extraterrestrial beings.
This has played a large role in spreading the influence of extraterrestrial interest across the world.

All of us seem to be naturally fascinated with the unknown, especially when it comes to space.
It seems like human nature.

Neuroscience can now explain what happens to our body when we meditate, but it’s something we all knew to be beneficial before the science.
Is extraterrestrial life similar?

Is it something we all feel deep down inside, something we don’t need proof for? (Even though the proof is there).
Besides the thousands of videos available on YouTube, there is some very fascinating officially documented UFO footage available for us to see.

Click HERE to see raw footage of a UFO showing up in Norway for scientists at their observatory.
Click HERE to see film from the 1991 NASA STS-48 Discovery Space Shuttle mission.

It’s some of the best, officially documented UFO footage that’s out there today.
HERE is a video that made headlines once released.

It came from straight front the Mexican Air Force.
Do a quick UFO search on youtube and you’ll see many fakes, but many real videos of unknown aerial objects.

Final Thoughts


A few years ago the question was “Do UFOs exist?”
Today that question has been answered, and the presence of UFOs performing maneuvers that defy our laws of physics has been well documented.

The question has more so shifted to, “Is that an extraterrestrial space craft?”
It’s nothing to fear, in my opinion they’ve been around forever.

They have been aware of us long before we have been aware of them.
As speculated with our ancient civilizations in Earth’s brief past, perhaps they will one day interact with humanity again.

I guess we will see.
Perhaps some groups are concerned about our planet, and come here further pushing the idea that we need to start changing the way we are doing things here.

Perhaps one day soon we will find out
I definitely believe that a good chunk of these UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin.
I also believe that many of these crafts are “ours.”
