How Drug War Posturing Is Blocking Access To A Potential Treatment For Veterans: Veterans and others suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder have long reported anecdotally that marijuana provides unique relief for their symptoms, but past attempts to perform scientific studies have foundered because access to a legal supply of marijuana is blocked by federal agencies. A new study released this week averted this obstacle in a brain imaging [...]/p

Alchemy: The Philosopher's Stone

2010-11-03T22:00:00.001-07:00

While medieval alchemists often get a bad rap it is usually due to people's ignorance on the subject. Alchemy was the science of the middle ages but it differed from our understanding of science in that it did not differentiate between factual science and religion. The greatest goal of Alchemy was "the Philosopher's Stone" which was said to turn base metals into gold. However, the steps to obtain the stone were also meant as an allegory for spiritual enlightenment and the perfection of one's soul. It would be fair to say that, to an alchemist, this process of spiritual perfection was the true purpose of Alchemy.

The process of the stone, and much of the alchemical philosophy, is deeply tied to old and obscure occult practices and is seen to have a strong correlation to the paths of the Tarot and the Qaballa as well.

That being said, Alchemy was also concerned with observable scientific study and was the guardian of scientific thought through those dark years known as the Medieval Period. Alchemists possessed a much greater wealth of knowledge than most people are willing to attribute to them. For example, Alchemists understood and recorded the fact that the Earth was indeed round, they had observed and recorded that white light contained lights of other colors and they were, in many cases, responsible for medicine at a time when most scholastic study was dedicated to religious topics.

The obscurity of most alchemical texts is understandable when you consider the power that the established religious organizations had at the time. However, we must also take into account that, as are scientists today, alchemists were concerned with keeping their discoveries their own. For both these reasons alchemists felt it important to cloud their words in allegory and fantastical writing.

I feel that modern science could possibly learn a lot from the concept of combining scientific and metaphysical study as there is much heart ache that derives from the vigorous separation of religion and science, neither of which, alone, can offer a complete personal understanding of our own existence.

THC Ministry Update: We Need Your Help Now!

2010-10-30T14:06:00.000-07:00

Aloha -

We are writing to you because you signed up at the thc-ministry.org website, and in some way Rev. Roger Christie touched your life.

There is a great injustice taking place in Hawai`i that threatens all of our cherished liberties .

Rev. Roger Christie, the founder and leader of the Hawai`i Cannabis THC Ministry, has for many years operated the Ministry openly on the bayfront in downtown Hilo, here on the Big Island of Hawai`i. Roger Christie ministered to homeless and indigent Cannabis patients and others. The local police were all aware of his mission and activities -- as were members of the County Council and the Mayor. Whenever cannabis issues were raised in the news, Roger was always the spokesman for religious, medical and private adult use sought after by the news media, locally, nationally and globally. His words reached millions.

On July 8, 2010 the Federal Government -- in the persons of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the National Park Service, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Postal Inspection Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Marshals Service, and the U.S. Coast Guard, arrested Roger Christie along with 13 other individuals (collectively being called the Green 14) -- one of whom was his girlfriend and life partner Share E. St. Cyr. They were then flown over 200 miles to Honolulu in a Coast Guard C-130 aircraft for their arraignment and detention.

While the 13 were all released with a simple signature on a personal bond, Roger Christie has been denied bail by four separate Federal Courts on the tenuous ground that he is a "danger to the community." He is being held without bond in lieu of trial, now scheduled for April 26, 2011. What "danger" is this harmonious man to the community? In fact, Roger can only speak the truth, and the Federal Government is afraid that people will listen. This is the clearest definition of a "political prisoner".

Think about it – locked and sealed away until the end of his anticipated criminal sentence - what is our federal government afraid of? Deprived of his Constitutional right to free and open access to his Federal public defender, and sealed off from his many friends and supporters, Roger Christie remains the "happiest person" in the Federal Detention Center because he knows he will someday get his day in court for the 'last marijuana trial' .

The government has spent literally millions of dollars and more than two years of investigation, including wiretaps on his phones and other surveillance.

The outrageous flaunting of Roger Christie's Constitutional right to free speech and the free exercise of his sincere religious beliefs, by the Obama Federal government, has angered many in our community here in Hawai`i and across the country. Add to this the denial of due process and a speedy trial, and being held without bail before being found guilty of anything in an alleged crime that has zero victims.

In response to this act of political tyranny, we, the friends of Roger Christie and the THC Ministry here in Hilo, Hawai`i, have started a non-profit corporation: The Cannabis Charity Education and Defense Fund. We have managed to raise some small amount of funds to help Roger in his time of need. In order for Roger to be able to have phone, computer and even commissary privileges, he must pay his jailors $600.00 per month!

Through fund raising at several Rallies for Roger, we have passed on almost $1,000. Of course the government confiscated all of his modest savings and liquid assets, leaving Share out of money and alone, having to sell her truck in order to survive and to help Roger while he remains behind bars.

So there he sits in the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu. Since you are still reading this letter you may be asking what you can do to help. There are a few things you can do. One is to write a letter of support to Roger, or just a letter. Sitting in jail without even a chance to go outside can be a trial in itself and letters are a welcome gift.

You can also write your political representatives in the federal government letting them know of this over-the- top flagrant violation of Roger's Constitutional rights. Write a letter to the editor or friends in the media that could bring light to this dark situation. Letters to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser would be especially welcome.

Finally you can donate to Roger Christie's cause. We have paypal methods of money transfer set forth below. He can also receive use of funds sent directly to his prison account to be used to offset the expenses he incurs in jail. This can be done by sending a money order to the address below.

Okay, so maybe I am a little prejudice by saying that I love this article. Yes, it is written by my wife Brenda. All that aside, it is a really heartfelt story that helps clarify how the concept of ONENESS can be understood by learning about or studying these really cool images that are constructed using a simple mathematical equation.

See where it takes you.

Awesome!
Working Replica of Noah's Ark opened In SCHAGEN, Netherlands .
Man Builds Noah's Ark to the exact scale given in the Bible.

The massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was opened
and the first crowd of curious townsfolk beheld the wonder.

This replica of the biblical Ark was built by Dutch Creationist
Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible.

The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide.
That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a three-story house.

Life-sized models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bison
and other animals greet visitors as they arrive in the main hold.

A contractor by trade, Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine.
Biblical scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been.

Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools and with occasional help from his son Roy.
Construction began in May 2005. On the uncovered top deck
.... not quite ready in time for the opening
....will come a petting zoo, with baby lambs and chickens, and goats, and one camel.

Visitors on the first day were stunned.
'It's beyond comprehension', said Mary Louise Starosciak, who happened to be bicycling
by with her husband while on vacation when they saw the ark looming over the local landscape.

'I knew the story of Noah, but I had no idea the boat would have been so big!'
There is enough space near the keel for a 50-seat film theater where kids can watch a video that tells the story of
Noah and his ark. Huibers, a Christian man, said he hopes the project will renew interest in
Christianity in the Netherlands, where church going has fallen dramatically in the past 50 years.

Now that I am old and gray....
give me the time to tell this new generation (and their children too
about all of Your mighty miracles.
Psalm 71:18

Prop 19: Amsterdam Psychiatrist Blasts US Drug Czars for Distortions, Fear-Mongering | MND: Your Daily Dose of Counter-Theory

2010-09-13T20:59:00.000-07:00

It is always a great day when the Truth comes out about the corrupt moral practices of our so-called trusted servants. I love it. Thank You God!

from MensNewsDaily.com:

Most outrageously, the drug czars ignore the well known and undisputed statistics that show that Dutch use of cannabis remains about half that of the US and is comparable to – or less than – use in our neighboring countries with more repressive policies. Moreover, Dutch heroin use rates are also less than half of US rates. We attribute that fact to what we call the “separation of the markets” for hard and soft drugs.

...It is my firm belief that the American people, and certainly Californians, would support decriminalizing drugs and regulating drug markets, if only they knew that the drug problem in their country is much worse than in countries with more liberal policies. The problem is that Americans do know that their country has a serious drug problem, but they also believe or are convinced that in the Netherlands and other European countries the situation is even worse. This is what they have heard from their governments and drug czars.

Just trying to get the facts straight...grin!

Journalism warning labels on the Webisphere

2010-09-13T16:28:00.001-07:00

We see bias in all types of journalism, citizen and mainstream. But how can we warn others about certain mistakes afflicting lazy writers?

Blessings All,

I've been greatly expanding my territory lately, and the statement above caught my eye while exploring DigitalJournal.com. I've been reporting more lately, and while traveling through the wild world of wikis on the Global Webisphere, I had some interactions with the wiki police. And I say this with a big smile because sometime it does take a little basic law and order to keep one's house a home. What an interesting place to roam, I must admit. Suffice it to say that there are many enlightened souls that are indeed protecting the webisphere from misinformation and as such they assume a responsibility to the Light of Truth.

And it's all good. I'm here to play and I'm here to stay, and as an evolving journalist myself, it is imperative that I learn the rules of the game. I'm betting that the golden rule is still the only real rule that needs to apply. There is still a universe of information out there that has yet to be crystallized into the digital halls of cyberspace. What a grand site those halls are out here in the uni-verse.

Namaste
