United States Patent Application: 20070170306: Consider a "Headache"
Consider a "Headache"
[0026] Your brain is throbbing, you had a long week and are running late to work and just got a flat tire. You feel like someone is you pounding on your head with a sledge hammer. You might even experience the "white throbbing" sensation that accompanies migraine headaches. However, now conceive of the headache through this Method and recognize the unity of your own brain and body where they are only reacting to stimuli you have focused them on. When considering this Method in relationship to the immediate problem of the headache; you recognized that your consciousness is always in control of the mind and body, there is only one energy stream in your body=your own will power.
[0027] Now you choose to visualize this problem in a new way. You see this big white hammer pounding on the front of your head as a "picture." It is like a movie picture flashing on the wall of your head. Now you choose to focus on this picture throbbing on the wall of your head, and decide to redecorate this room. You see yourself walk across the inside of your head and grab that picture on the wall and through it out the window. Simultaneously you imagine the wadded up picture flying out your ear to land on the floor next to you.
[0028] Stop and notice now; your headache is gone. This simplistic example is perceived, understood and recognized instantly. Most people initially get a flash of "no headache" but then they are stunned and fall back into the familiar feeling of having no control and returning to their "headache." However, when accepting the conscious understanding of how everything is connected and related as defined by this Method; this simplistic insight and conscious exercise will end your headache. Seeing yourself in control allows yourself to take control. You are conscious of the energy moving through your nerves and brain and have decided to change the flow of your own energy. That fleeting moment you felt with "no headache" can simply be focused on and expanded. I almost never get headaches, and might get sick once a year. However, I simply remove this energy from my system and return to peace and comfort easily.
[0029] This is an improvement on the prior art of having no control over oneself and taking an aspirin, where mass media has programmed you to believe the drug will relieve your headache, while experiments have shown patients will respond and be relieved with just a sugar pill as well. This Placebo Effect is the unconscious version of this Method (Nordenberg, 2000).

We've reached the tipping point against Monsanto
Link: http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Monsanto-Tipping-Point-by-Mike-Adams-130604-336.html (sent via ) ---- Source: Natural News Monsanto is now in full retreat against a global grassroots rejection of its poisons and lies. The company is backpedaling on every front now, even admitting defeat in Europe and now trying to focus its last, desperate efforts on the United States and Brazil. But even in the Americas, Monsanto is losing on every front: GMO labeling legislation is cropping up in over a dozen states, the global March Against Monsanto demonstrated global grassroots unity against GMOs, and even the so-called "science" behind the "safety" GMOs is revealed as utter hogwash now that GMOs have escaped Monsanto's experimental wheat fields and contaminated commercial wheat crops in America. Japan has halted U.S. wheat imports and South Korea joined in as well. Ben & Jerry's ice cream company has announced it is going 100% GMO-free, and massive boycotts are underway against brands that tried to block the GMO labeling ballot measure in California (Prop 37). We've reached the tipping point against Monsanto Jeffrey Smith of www.ResponsibleTechnology.org has always talked about a "tipping point" being reached on GMOs, after which the flood of consumer awareness and demand would force food manufacturers and retailers to begin the process of ditching GMOs. I believe that tipping point has now been reached. In fact, I believe the March Against Monsanto was the final push over the fulcrum of the tipping point, and I am ecstatic that so many people all around the world marched in the streets to protest global food injustice while the wholly-discredited mainstream media sat back and pretended the march never even took place! In one fell sweep, the tipping point against Monsanto was triggered and the whole world realized the mainstream media has zero credibility. I'll call that a victory any day! Next steps: Commands from headquarters? If you're waiting for "commands from headquarters" to figure out what's next in the war for food justice and farming justice -- the war against Monsanto and GMOs -- you don't really understand this movement. The beauty of everything that's happening today is that there IS no headquarters! Activists against Monsanto are simply making this up as we go along. There is no "leader." There is no secret strategy meeting. There are no talking points. There is no overarching set of milestones being discussed. There is no one person that makes all this happen. The anti-GMO movement is all just large numbers of courageous individuals waking up and doing what needs to be done, whether that's organizing a march, posting videos online, boycotting food brands that use GMOs, or holding home-viewing parties of DVDs that educate people on the truth about GMOs. This is the movement's strength. This is why nobody can be intimidated, sued or shut down by Monsanto. Behind every activist there are a thousand more carrying the torch for food justice. The anti-GMO grassroots movement absolutely will not stop until GMOs are banned from the global food supply, and that bold statement is just as true in Venezuela and Portugal as the United States. Everywhere that people eat food and grow food, everyone who is informed supports the idea of outlawing GMOs entirely. This goal will be achieved. I can see it now with clarity. The grassroots energy behind this movement is unstoppable. And while everyone in the grassroots anti-GMO movement may come from slightly different viewpoints on other social, political and economic issues, they all agree that GMOs have no place in the food supply, period! As I recently said in my speech at the March Against Monsanto in Austin: "The fact that you are here, in all your beautiful diversity... is proof that they cannot divide us! They can only unite us with their insanity!" If you are part of the effort to stop Monsanto and outlaw GMOs, you are winning. You are making a measurable, effective difference in the world, and the positive shockwaves of your efforts will be felt for generations to come. Keep up the good work. :-)

Monsanto gives up fight for GM plants in EuropeThis article was originally published by DW.de on May 31, 2013. The world's largest producer of seeds, Monsanto, has apparently given up on attempts to spread its genetically modified plant varieties in Europe. A German media report said the firm would end all lobbying for approval. The German newspaper "taz" reported Friday that US agriculture behemoth Monsanto had dropped any plans to have farmers grow its genetically modified (GM) plant varieties in Europe. Monsanto Europe spokesman Brandon Mitchener was quoted as saying the company would no longer engage in any lobbying fur such plants on the continent, adding that at the moment the firm was unwilling to apply for approval of any GM plants. DW.DE Saying 'No' to genetically modified food All over the world, protesters have been rallying against genetically modified food - and in particular, against seed giant Monsanto. (28.05.2013) Monsanto said its decision was partly based on low demand from European farmers. "We've understood that such plants don't have any broad acceptance in European societies," Monsanto Germany spokeswoman Ursula Lüttmer-Ouazane commented. "We haven't been bale to make any progress over the years, and it's counter-productive to tilt against windmills," she added. Public resistance The German Agriculture Ministry said Monsanto's move was a corporate decision and would not comment further. But it added it was no secret the ministry had been highly critical of gene modification technologies. "The promises of GM industry have not come true for European agriculture, nor have they for the agriculture in developing and emerging economies," the ministry said in a statement. In Germany, the protest movement against GM plants has been particularly strong for years. Vociferous rallying prompted the government in 2009 to prohibit the growing of Monsanto's MON810 GM maize variety. Rivals of the US company, such as Bayer CropScience, BASF and Syngenta had largely withdrawn from the German market because of large-scale public opposition, the "taz" report claimed. hg/mz (dpa, AFP)

Tyranny of the Prefrontal Cortex
How the prefrontal cortex has come to dominate human consciousness: Shamanism is one of those controversial terms that can spark innumerable debates among both academics and spiritual seekers, such as whether it should be identified with a specific region, how old it is, and even how it should be defined. For our purposes, a shaman can be understood as a particular person within a hunter-gatherer society who is believed to have the ability to mediate between the everyday world and the spirit worlds (of which there are frequently two: an upper world in the sky and a lower world beneath the earth)
