For One Day, Beijing saw Blue Skies… Here’s why

On August 20th, only a few weeks ago, Beijing saw completely clear and blue skies, far from the ordinarily “gray” skies (see top image above). What happened?! Did they invent a miraculous new technology that cleared up fog?! Did they suck it out of the sky with one of those… Giant vacuum cleaners?

No, actually… They very simply (and take a breath for this one…)  —-> Stopped polluting it.

You heard that correctly. They turned off their cars for about a week and a half.

So how exactly did this happen… and why?

In a nutshell, China put a ban on 2.5 Million Cars across all of Beijing between August 20th and September 3rd. They did so purposefully to open up the skies and beam bright blue for the 70th anniversary of Japan’s World War 2 Defeat, which took place this past September 3rd.

You heard that right too. They wanted to open up their skies, and show off their military. Smile for the camera! 

In doing so, within only a short span of less than 2 weeks the skies became picture perfect, and this happened.

But Alas, As fate would have it, the day after the parade whence the restrictions had been lifted, Beijings Air Quality spiked to 160, a level which is typically regarded as one where “Everyone may begin to experience some adverse health effects,” according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Ooooooo…. So close!

Had they held out for another few weeks we likely could have offset climate change, buying us precious time to sort out this global crisis!

However, there is a more fundamental issue that we’re actually facing, as demonstrated by this example.

The people aren’t choosing to stop polluting for the cause of bringing peace to the world, but because some people in charge wanted to flex their muscle a little bit and put on a show. Therefore, it couldn’t be sustainable, and we are left with but a mirage.

Nevertheless, we have a wonderful learning opportunity before us. Look at how quickly the skies cleared up when garbage was stopped to be thrown into it? Little less than 2 weeks, right?

What else might this principle apply to? Our bodies and health? Our relationships? Our jobs?

Interesting…

The pollution of our planet is the same as the pollution of every facets of our lives. At the rate things are going, who knows how things could be different in 10 years even? We are soon going to be faced with a major catastrophe if we do not act decisively and with great care.

If You Truly Knew What You Were Capable Of, You Would be Doing THIS:

For centuries Daoist Masters have been harnessing the energies from within.

Using the Yin-Yang, positive and negative energies. Masters of the Art, harness this electric current by pulling the positive energy from the sacral  and the negative energy from the root chakra (Hui Yin). Alchemizing the energy at the sacral chakra, the (Shenjue or Xia Dan Tian).

This energy circuit known as the small heavenly circuit, does not directly translate to the inner flute in Buddhism (as depicted above). However, it is known that the area  just below the naval is the meridian energy center, where all energy is alchemized and all energy is collected and received.

This Master has meditated everyday since he was a young child and has studied this art for 18 years. His discipline has paid off, as he has gained the ability to project electrical energy from his body. The energy is hot enough to burn you at a single touch and high enough, to start a fire with a single hand.

It takes discipline and meditation to awaken this gift and requires extreme control of your every emotion. Once the energy is unleashed, the electric current is so potent that it can be become dangerous, if not used properly.

Qi or (chi) energy is collected by standing straight with legs at shoulder width. Place your right hand flat 3-4 inches from your sacral chakra and begin moving it in small circles gradually growing larger until your largest pass is at your forehead. (For men begin your circle downwards towards your feet and for ladies begin your circle vertical towards your heart)

Slowly begin decreasing the size of the circle until your hand is once again creating small circles at your sacral. It is best to collect Qi in the early morning hours between 7-9 am as well as in the evening 7-9 pm. Continue reading

This Scientific Explanation Shows Us How The Soul & The Afterlife Exist

There is a wide array of data that exists that would be best explained by inferring the existence of a non-physical soul, but a large barrier people often come up against is trying to understand how the soul could even fit into our scientific understandings of consciousness.

How does it work? Where is it located? How does it interact with our consciousness? Thankfully, we now have a theoretical framework that explains the existence of the soul and even the afterlife!

The soul is quantum information

According to Dr. Stuart Hameroff, a professor at the University of Arizona, a near-death experience happens when the quantum information that inhabits the nervous system leaves the body and dissipates into the universe.  Contrary to materialistic accounts of consciousness, Dr. Hameroff offers an alternative explanation of consciousness that can perhaps appeal to both the rational scientific mind and personal intuitions.

Consciousness resides, according to Stuart and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose, in the microtubules of the brain cells, which are the primary sites of quantum processing.  Upon death, this information is released from your body, meaning that your consciousness goes with it. They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).

NASA Discovers Planets And Stars Give Off Music – This Is What It Sounds Like

Did you know that planets and stars actually give off music?  Although space is a virtual vacuum, this does not mean there is no sound in space.  Sounds still exists in the form of electromagnetic vibrations and can be detected using specially designed instruments developed by NASA.

These amazing ambient space sounds come from electronic vibrations of the planets, moons and rings, electromagnetic fields of the planets and moons, planetary magnetosphere, trapped radio waves bouncing between the planet and the inner surface of it’s atmosphere, charged particle interactions of the planet, it’s moons and the solar wind, and from charged particle emissions from the rings of certain planets.

Looking into outer space, we often assume it would be absolutely silent. Little do we realize that the universes is teeming with planetary music.  The sounds these planets give off are absolutely breathtaking:

How to Live Your Life From A 5D Mind

-Independence: What in nature is totally independent from the rest? We, I mean, we all, need oxygen from somewhere, don’t we? New age circus types love to preach about filling our own cup from the inside… Cool. Try breathing your own air from the inside and tell me that’s enough…

Doesn’t work.

It’s contrary to the laws of nature. You see? Let yourself be open to the nourishment of everything around you, and be filled in service to it.

-Dependence: a state of potential growth, subject to authority due to the absence of the ability to create it. A baby, the house pets, domestic plants. All of these require something from their caretakers. Those instances which illicit genuine dependence are meant to dissolve over time and become a new form of relating, and the effort and energy is rerouted in the relationship…

The dog, realizing it’s “role” is the submissive one, employs cuteness tactics to calm or enliven the owner, creating a mutually beneficial symbiotic partnership, bringing us to the final form…

-Interdependence: a reciprocal relation between interdependent entities (objects or individuals or groups). It is the application of the inherent authority,  combined with the recognition of the same inherent authority reflected in the world around us.
