Every particle that  exists in  the Universe, contains the image of the whole which is  characteristic of  a hologram. If this is a Truth, then all of  manifested life and being  emanates from a single source of causation  that would include all  particles existing in the Universe. It means  that everything from sub  atomic particles to giant galaxies and  everything in between contains  information of the whole.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XFY9YoIEoTU/TQLs2dbhLVI/AAAAAAAAAE0/Enugd8BK2h4/s1600/27788_128793763797476_100000005601801_364478_4554917_n.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;212&quot; src=&quot;http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XFY9YoIEoTU/TQLs2dbhLVI/AAAAAAAAAE0/Enugd8BK2h4/s320/27788_128793763797476_100000005601801_364478_4554917_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is this strange phenomenon telling us? Are all of us  humans, like  the small cut off pieces of film that contain the image of  the whole? If  this is true, then we possess the image of the Creator  and all of us  are part of the whole and at-one with it. It would mean  that all the  information about the Universe is contained within all of  us. Is this  why we can explore and uncover things about the Universe  because that  information is already within all of us?  Is this perhaps  the reason why  man can mentally extract knowledge regarding the  Universe without  leaving the seat of observation on earth?  Is  education perhaps a  discovery about what is already known to the  subconscious Mind?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt;I believe that in the near future it will be discovered that  true  science and true metaphysics are not at all divided. The division  that  exists is only an illusion of rigid belief systems. Philosophy is  the  &quot;Implicate&quot; or &quot;Inner Knowledge&quot; of reality, while science is the   &quot;Explicate&quot; or &quot;External&quot; knowledge. When these two are allowed to   combine, a picture of the whole Truth will emerge.  A vision of reality   on a grander scale.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;big&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/big&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;post-header&quot;&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve been surrounded by plants and  flowers lately which is a really good  thing.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve had a lot of flowers  in the house, at the moment I have  some beautiful orchids from my  Aunt&#39;s garden and some of the most  fragrant freesias from my Nan&#39;s  garden.&amp;nbsp; I adore freesias, especially  the ones that smell so  beautiful.&amp;nbsp; I always seek them out over Spring if  I haven&#39;t planted any  myself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/5007309912/&quot; title=&quot;orchids by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;orchids&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4111/5007309912_a37e4ffb41_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/5007309696/&quot; title=&quot;Freesias - my faves by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Freesias - my faves&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/5007309696_47577de475_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ve planted some cute little  pansies in my fence planter boxes and yesterday my friend Harvey came  over and we got a whole lot of cheap pots and filled them with tomatoes,  lettuces, spinach and strawberries.&amp;nbsp; I wanted basil too but couldn&#39;t  find any.&amp;nbsp; I just have to get some mulch and those are done.&amp;nbsp; My  japanese maple is full of gorgeous red leaves, hopefully it will put on a  bit more growth this spring.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/5007309298/&quot; title=&quot;tomatoes by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;tomatoes&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4111/5007309298_05c057eab8_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;160&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/5006698941/&quot; title=&quot;Japanese Maple spring growth by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Japanese Maple spring growth&quot; height=&quot;160&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4087/5006698941_322d708e02_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Lastly I was given the most  gorgeous bonsai by my friend Judy.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s a rhododendron and it&#39;s just  the cutest little plant.&amp;nbsp; I have it inside on my coffee table and I  think it&#39;s not far off flowering.&amp;nbsp; It&#39;s got a lot of new growth on it  too.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/5006699075/&quot; title=&quot;Bonsai from Judy by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Bonsai from Judy&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4152/5006699075_8d94ba020a_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Harvs and I went out for dinner last night then caught the New Zealand movie &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1560139/plotsummary&quot;&gt;Boy &lt;/a&gt;at  Cinema Europa.&amp;nbsp; We were 2 of 4 people in the whole cinema which was  awesome.&amp;nbsp; The movie was lovely, it has a very unique style and I really  enjoyed it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;My recovery seems to have  plateaued and I&#39;ve been waking up feeling revolting - it has been taking  me hours to feel normal and like I want to do anything.&amp;nbsp; Not sure if  I&#39;ve been pushing myself too hard or if this is just normal.&amp;nbsp; Today I  was meant to go back to the specialist but I didn&#39;t feel up to it so I  cancelled my appointment.&amp;nbsp; I plan on doing absolutely nothing all day  long.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;So today we&#39;ve had 2 storm  fronts roll through.&amp;nbsp; The first I watched from the safety of my spare  room window, as I was backing up my music onto my new HDD that replaced  the one that carked it.&amp;nbsp; There were a few close strikes of lightning and  I had to cross my fingers that we wouldn&#39;t lose power, hence mucking up  my backing up.&amp;nbsp; The second front came through almost on sunset.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;d  been keeping an eye on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR023.loop.shtml&quot;&gt;B.O.M weather radar&lt;/a&gt;  and made a snap decision to jump in the car, camera in hand, and head  down to the beach.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;m very glad I did as this was one of the more  picturesque storm fronts I&#39;ve seen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;This was the view as I drove towards the beach, luckily it&#39;s a 10 minute drive so I knew I had plenty of time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/5056832526/&quot; title=&quot;heading to the beach to shoot the storm by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;heading to the beach to shoot the storm&quot; height=&quot;333&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4112/5056832526_285d3ee342.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;As we headed up the same path  that I&#39;ve walked up hundreds of times, I could see the old tree was  still standing. That&#39;s always one of the first things I check for at the  start of every Summer season. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: xx-small;&quot;&gt;(though this is an old photo, it&#39;s missing one of those limbs this year &amp;amp; it&#39;s looking more haggard).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/2323901660/&quot; title=&quot;sentinel by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;sentinel&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2158/2323901660_26165e372f_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;167&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;  As we headed over the little rise we could smell a brine like smell.&amp;nbsp;  Then we noticed the water was brown.&amp;nbsp; Ew.&amp;nbsp; I&#39;ve never seen this in the  whole time I&#39;ve been going to Seaford, which is probably 15 years or so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/5103756941/&quot; title=&quot;dirty seaford by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;dirty seaford&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1253/5103756941_542c3fc59a_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Upon closer inspection the water  was full of mashed up seaweed.&amp;nbsp; The waters edge was absolutely littered  with dead stinking pippies, shells and weirdest of all, arms of  starfish (do starfish have legs? Maybe there were legs too!).&amp;nbsp; I have no  idea what has caused this but I really hope that this stink and muck  clears out before proper Summer begins.&amp;nbsp; Or I&#39;m going to have to find  myself a new beach to frequent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/fenz/5103756583/&quot; title=&quot;shells by Fenstar, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;shells&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1161/5103756583_3f43bbc903_m.jpg&quot; width=&quot;180&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;After a snooze on the beach we  headed into the town centre for some lunch then sat on the end of the  pier, soaking in the glorious weather and ignoring the dim-witted boys  that really should have been at school.&amp;nbsp; It was superb.&amp;nbsp; The brown water  seemed to continue right until Frankston, but I noticed that it wasn&#39;t  at the mouth of the Patterson River.&amp;nbsp; Hmmm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Of course the weather is  changing, as I type, so the weekend doesn&#39;t look too brilliant.&amp;nbsp; This is  my last free weekend as I start work this week and my weekends  disappear.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://global-universe.blogspot.com/feeds/7449529860659915848/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://global-universe.blogspot.com/2010/12/brown-beach.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1213199750065722415/posts/default/7449529860659915848'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1213199750065722415/posts/default/7449529860659915848'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://global-universe.blogspot.com/2010/12/brown-beach.html' title='Brown beach'/><author><name>saipradeep</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18043912659336526171</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='18' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7sye_sVfPm49iLfMe1aaGWIzcfBNxS7AN5xLH6ZwVVr0u85EKUP-F3ktsHM-f_W750Ywpf-VgPlEz85A9fv8EpXS5zWhMb_13kvZqm7uTtlzKfaTnpAfTiPhLzDNaQ/s220/04112010321-001.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2158/2323901660_26165e372f_t.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213199750065722415.post-5771488187268862549</id><published>2010-12-08T09:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-08T09:29:35.687-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Miss Universe</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;item entry&quot; id=&quot;post-76515&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;itemhead&quot;&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.babble.com/famecrawler/2010/08/26/miss-universe-jimena-navarrete-david-letterman-top-10-vide/&quot; rel=&quot;bookmark&quot;&gt;Miss Universe Jimena Navarrete David Letterman’s Top 10&amp;nbsp;(Video)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XFY9YoIEoTU/TP_AbsHbABI/AAAAAAAAAEs/BOpnVzE6FTs/s1600/miss-universe-2010-official-after-party-lax.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XFY9YoIEoTU/TP_AbsHbABI/AAAAAAAAAEs/BOpnVzE6FTs/s320/miss-universe-2010-official-after-party-lax.jpg&quot; width=&quot;208&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;Posted by &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;Sai pradeep&lt;/span&gt; on 8th, 2010 &lt;/div&gt;Newly crowne d Miss Universe Jimena Navarrete presented the Late Show with David Letterman Top 10 list last night.&lt;br /&gt;

If you are  not careful your misery can take over your day, week, year or in the  worst cases, life. When you confront a bad situation, think about what  good will it do for you to harbor these thoughts. What value does it  serve you to continue thinking or discussing it? Also think about what  good can you do to make your situation better and more enjoyable? What  good can you take out of this bad situation? Anyone can do this. Anyone  can flip their terrible situation into a more enjoyable one. Listen to  my podcast for more details.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

The reason for this is because we are afraid of how it’s going to be.  How it’s going to be along the way, how it’s going to be when we get  there. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span&gt;This is the fear of the unknown coming through. One should  realize that all of this pondering leads to nowhere. In order to break  through these obstacles one has to take action. Even the smallest action  is important. As each action is taken, your confidence will build up.  When you don’t take actions towards your desires, they eat away at you.  You beat yourself up over and over. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span&gt;The pain of not doing it ends up being greater than the  anticipation of doing it. As each action is taken on your part, the more  you will feel good as you are making progress. As long as you keep  focused on the light at the end of the tunnel, you will know that the  future is bright.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Happy Success To You!&lt;br /&gt;

So not all of what I stated   was based on fact. A lot of it is based on opinions, theories, and   ideas. I discuss vibrations, frequencies, auras, theories, religion,   subconscious, spirits, breathing techniques to open your subconscious   mind. I hope you enjoy my discussion. I am welcome to your ideas as   well. Please feel free to post your feedback.&lt;br /&gt;
Some of this material may be a bit controversial for sensitive ears, so it is not suitable for all listeners.&lt;br /&gt;

ONE WORLD CHURCH STARTS UP! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---United Religions on Track ~ With Modifications--- June 1997,  Episcopalian Bishop William Swing jubilantly announced &quot;Tell  the people there is a UNITED RELIGIONS&quot; -Catholic Family  News, Nov 1997, Vol #4. Issue # 11&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-----------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;
Rather strange eh? A one world church? With all the thousands of  denominations worldwide they are forming a one world church?  How&#39;s this possible? How can the Beast of Revelation convince  people that all the worlds churches should join hands as one?  Many modern day &quot;well learned&quot; scoffers not 10 years  ago are now being seen as unwise, and all those that proclaimed  this prophecy are now starting to appear wise. Yet, still, the  same people that ignored the warnings of this one world church  are no doubt the same that are fillings its pews.
