Symbol - Vine

From Widkipedia
 The grape vine (typically Vitis vinifera) has been used as a symbol since ancient times. In Greek mythology, Dionysus (called Bacchus by the Romans) was god of the vintage and, therefore, a grape vine with bunches of the fruit are among his attributes. His attendants at the Bacchanalian festivals hence had the vine as an attribute, together with the thyrsus, the
latter often entwined with vine branches. For the same reason, the Greek wine cup (cantharos) is commonly decorated with the vine and grapes, wine being drunk as a libation to the god.

In Christian iconography, the vine also frequently appears. It is mentioned several times in the New Testament. We have the parable of the kingdom of heaven likened to the father starting to engage laborers for his vineyard. The vine is used as symbol of Jesus Christ based on his own statement, “I am the vine.” In that sense, a vine is placed as sole symbol on the tomb of Constantia, the sister of Constantine the Great, and elsewhere. In Byzantine art, the vine and grapes figure in early mosaics, and on the throne of Maximianus of Ravenna it is used as a decoration.

The vine as symbol of the chosen people is employed several times in the Old Testament. The vine and wheat ear have been frequently used as symbol of the blood and flesh of Christ, hence figuring as symbols (bread and wine) of the Eucharist and are found depicted on ostensories. Often the symbolic vine laden with grapes is found in ecclesiastical decorations with animals biting at the grapes. At times, the vine is used as symbol of temporal blessing.

Symbolic Celtic Meaning of the Vine

• Regeneration
• Continuation
• Opportunity
• Connection
• Expansion
• Fertility
• Bounty

This is a powerful metaphor of "going with the flow" or "growing where you are planted." In other words, it is a message that when we observe the best of our environment/situation and stay in a relaxed, flowing state of mind, will likely gain our highest advantage.

Nevertheless, in spite of the philosophical urgings to take things as they may come, the thorns of these vines are symbolic of defending or protecting ourselves when necessary.

Sharks and "Big Brother" Hand in Hand - Research - How Much Do We Need to Know?

"Big Brother is a fictional character in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. He is the enigmatic dictator of Oceania, a totalitarian state wherein the ruling Party wields total power "for its own sake" over the inhabitants.

In the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens. The people are constantly reminded of this by the phrase "Big Brother is watching you", the maxim ubiquitous on display. Howevever, in the nature of doublethink, this phrase is also meant to mean that Big Brother is a benevolent protector of all citizens"

Researchers Tracking Great White Sharks
"The starstruck researchers took blood samples, checked the shark for parasites, implanted an acoustic pinger in its gut, and even performed an ultrasound -- all within 15 minutes and without tranquilisers or anesthetics. The crown jewel of the operation, though, was a state-of-the-art satellite transmitter, drilled and bolted onto the shark's dorsal fin.
Exhausted and newly rigged with an arsenal of technology, the shark -- christened Mary Lee -- slid into the water and swam languidly out of sight."

Transmitters  Electronic Tags Overview
The simplest version of the acoustic transmitter is the ‘pinger’. The ‘pinger’ produces ultrasonic pings that can be heard using a hydrophone (underwater microphone) and receiver. This was the original type of fish tracking tag.
(an entire page of photos and different transmitters)

Fish operate by SONAR! What are these devices that send out pings doing to these poor fish!
How are their systems handling these implants?
How far will man go in the quest for knowledge? How much will be destroyed for a tidbit of information?
What are the rewards?
Looking at the world as it is, does the common man seem to have benefited. Is the world as we would like it today?
Why are we so soothed by glimpses and memories of a simpler, cleaner, and more balanced world, where all being thrived in a sort of holistic dance? Yes we had lions and tigers and bears to fear..At least they could be seen, touched and known. Todays technology defies our senses and comes like thieves in the night.

Magnetic Fields and Earthquakes

Science is confirming that "Earth's Magnetic Field Is Fading " national geographic
I have not verified the information below and would appreciate if another does, or debunks it..
Found on prophecyfilm(dot)com

"With a weakening magnetosphere, more radiation and magnetically-charged plasma from our Sun (or from an approaching planet or star) will greatly influence the core of our Earth (which is magnetic), and that in turn will cause an up-tick of major earthquakes....see the correlation of great Earthquakes and Magnetic Field anomalies"

This is how Earth's Magnetic Field normally looks like on a calm day.

What if the internet technology belonged to only a few

A thought...
the solar flares may nock out the public electronic infrastructure.
the governments have been working frantically to build an underground infrastructure to survive any calamities....
This news article below sparked within me the thought that if the main electronic grid is knocked out, including all communication structures, the protected governemnts would still have an underground working network.
Once things settled, they could repair or rebuild that damaged above ground...

Here is the article...something we expect..yet what is the deeper implications

from: http://mozy.com/blog/misc/the-rise-of-chinas-internet/

CHINA'S new communist leaders are increasing already tight controls on Internet use and electronic publishing following a spate of embarrassing online reports about official abuses.
The measures suggest China's new leader, Xi Jinping, and others who took power in November share their predecessors' anxiety about the internet's potential to spread opposition to one-party rule and their insistence on controlling information despite promises of more economic reforms.
"They are still very paranoid about the potentially destabilising effect of the Internet," said Willy Lam, a politics specialist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
"They are on the point of losing a monopoly on information, but they still are very eager to control the dissemination of views."

Reptiles, God and Religion

Exodus 20:4
Second Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Make Graven Images
"Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it..."
I had a thought...what if, just what if these "gods" of Yaweh did not look quite human??

Fascinated as I am with symbology...seing snakes and reptiles everywhere...what if the Gods that came down, the Biblical god Yaweh - having the most power at the time, was reptilian looking?

 

 

Or Reptilian and Bird-like...
From Enoch:
"And there appeared to me two men very tall, such as I have never seen on earth. And their faces shone like the sun, and their eyes were like burning lamps; and fire came forth from their lips. Their dress had the appearance of feathers:... [purple], their wings were brighter than gold; their hands whiter than snow. They stood at the head of my bed and called me by my name."

Fisher King - Religion - Christianity

" Yoga is, according to the old scriptures, of divine origin. Long ago, the god Shiva is said to have expounded the Yoga science to his wife, Parvati, on the beach of what is now Sri Lanka. By chance a fish, Matsya, overheard. The lessons were so formidable that the fish became king, and was further known as Matsyendra. This fish was the predecessor of man, and the aforementioned Matsyendra was the first yogi."
It is well documented that Christianity incorporates many of the older Religions...

Solar Activity and Planetary Alignments

Apparent Relations Between Solar Activity
and Solar Tides Caused by the Planets

Ching-Cheh Hung 

Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio
Summary

A solar storm is a storm of ions and electrons from the Sun. Large solar storms are usually preceded by solar flares, phenomena that can be characterized quantitatively from Earth. Twenty-five of the thirtyeight largest known solar flares were observed to start when one or more tide-producing planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Jupiter) were either nearly above the event positions (<10° longitude) or at the opposing side of the Sun. The probability for this to happen at random is 0.039 percent. This supports the hypothesis that the force or momentum balance (between the solar atmospheric pressure, the gravity field, and magnetic field) on plasma in the looping magnetic field lines in solar corona could be disturbed by tides, resulting in magnetic field reconnection, solar flares, and solar storms. Separately, from the daily position data of Venus, Earth, and Jupiter, an 11-year planet alignment cycle is observed to approximately

match the sunspot cycle. This observation supports the hypothesis that the resonance and beat between the solar tide cycle and nontidal solar activity cycle influences the sunspot cycle and its varying magnitudes.

The above relations between the unpredictable solar flares and the predictable solar tidal effects could be used and further developed to forecast the dangerous space weather and therefore reduce its destructive power against the humans in space and satellites controlling mobile phones and global positioning satellite (GPS) systems.

Interesting mouths!

People reading this may or may not believe in "Aliens" ...
I put forth only theory, speculation...

In reading "Alien Interview"...the Alien, "Arial" Says

"Personally, it is my conviction that all sentient beings are immortal spiritual beings. This includes human beings. For the sake of accuracy and simplicity I will use a made-up word: "IS-BE". Because the primary nature of an immortal being is that they live in a timeless state of "is", and the only reason for their existence is that they decide to "be".

She goes on to explain that:
The space craft is operated by IS-BEs who use "doll bodies" in much the same way that an actor wears a mask and costume. It is a like a mechanical tool through which to operate in the physical world. She, as well as all of the other IS-BEs of the officer class and their superiors, inhabit these "doll bodies" when they are on duty in space. When they are not on duty, they "leave" the body and operate, think, communicate, travel, and exist without the use of a body.and tells that their bodies :

are constructed of synthetic materials, including a very sensitive electrical nervous system, to which each IS-BE adjusts themselves or "tune in" to an electronic wave length 56 (Footnote) that is matched uniquely to the wavelength or frequency emitted by each IS-BE
Supposing aliens are real:

What if supposed alien abductions are not at all aliens attempting to splice human genes with Alien genes, but in fact Humans wanting immediate immortality, thus testing the possibilities with the humanity on earth?

Cyborg Yeast Cells

Cyborg Yeast's Genes Are Controlled By a Computer  

The ability to make cells do our bidding would be a major advance in everything from drug production to biofuels, but it’s difficult to hack into nature and make cells obey. A team of Swiss researchers have one way to do it: Create cyborg cells connected to, and controlled by, a computer.

Researchers at ETH Zurich were able to form a feedback loop between a common form of yeast and a computer, which controlled light pulses to precisely control the expression of genes. It’s different from other cell-control techniques we have seen, like simple genetic modification or synthetic circuitry. Instead, the Swiss team modifies some light-coding proteins and connects the cell to a computer model, which uses algorithms to read out the light responses and determine cellular feedback. It’s an in vivo, in silico network.

Andreas Milias-Argeitis and colleagues started with Saccharomyces cerevisiae — brewer’s yeast — and focused on a molecule called phytochrome, which can be activated in the presence of red light. The activation of this molecule starts or stops the transcription of a gene that codes for a specific protein. Then the team used a fluorescent gene marker to watch when this protein was being produced.

Once they figured this out, the team built a computer model to determine how long each light pulse should last in order to control gene expression. This was especially tricky, as the researchers explain, because the reporter molecule (the fluorescent marker) takes a while to fire up and it stays active for awhile, interfering with their precise timing. At first, their model worked in simulation but not in cells, which can be blamed on "inevitable intracellular fluctuations," as Milias-Argeitis et al. put it.

To improve matters, the researchers built a closed-loop system: Shine a red light; start gene expression; monitor said gene expression and calculate optimal inputs with a feedback algorithm; then shine a darker light to stop expression.

"By interfacing electronic control with biological responses, in silico feedback provides an approach for unprecedented, quantitative control over the activity of living cells," the authors write.

Living cells interfaced with a range of polyelectrolyte coatings, magnetic and noble metal nanoparticles, hard mineral shells and other complex nanomaterials can perform functions often completely different from their original specialisation. Such "cyborg cells" are already finding a range of novel applications in areas like whole cell biosensors, bioelectronics, toxicity microscreening, tissue engineering, cell implant protection and bioanalytical chemistry. In this tutorial review, we describe the development of novel methods for functionalisation of cells with polymers and nanoparticles and comment on future advances in this technology in the light of other literature approaches. We review recent studies on the cell viability and function upon direct deposition of nanoparticles, coating with polyelectrolytes, polymer assisted assembly of nanomaterials and hard shells on the cell surface. The cell toxicity issues are considered for many practical applications in terms of possible adverse effects of the deposited polymers, polyelectrolytes and nanoparticles on the cell surface.

horizontal gene transfer is the movement of genes between two different organisms. Bacteria use horizontal gene transfer to exchange resistance to antibiotics. Recent studies have shown that plants can also use horizontal gene transfer, especially parasitic plants and their hosts due to their intimate physical connections.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/06/120608100846.htm

Until recently, scientists did not fully understand why viruses only affected a small range of host organisms. This discovery shows that the accompanying satellite gene of CMV must directly match the host plant's genes to cause the yellowing disease.

When the viral satellite's genes match the host plant's genes, the satellite genes 'lock' onto and slice the host's genes, preventing the host from forming green chlorophyll pigment.

"Think of it as like doing up a zipper on your jacket -- two opposing but different sections have to come together for it to work," Dr Wang said.

"So one half of the 'zipper' genes come from the virus and the other half of the genes from the host, and when they match up the virus causes disease."

The Veils of Medicine and Pharmacueticals

From Wikipedia:
PANDAS is an acronym for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections. This term describes a hypothesis that there exists a subset of children with rapid onset of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and/or tic disorders and these symptoms are caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal (GABHS) infections.^[1]

From: NIH
At initial onset, the symptoms may have followed an asymptomatic (and therefore untreated) streptococcal infection by several months or longer, so the inciting strep infection may have gone unnoticed. However, on subsequent infection recurrences, the worsening of the neuropsychiatric symptoms may be the first sign of an occult ("hidden") strep infection. Prompt treatment of the strep infection is often effective in reducing the OCD and other neuropsychiatric symptoms.
The strange phraseology prompted this post....

Children with PANDAS appear to be unusually sensitive to the side-effects of SSRIs and other medications,

Theocrats

"In War in Heaven, the spirits that do this are termed Theocrats, probably because for long millennia the vehicle they have used to capture and destroy weaker spirits has been religion. The Theocrats obtain victims by posing as gods and persuading religious believers to come to them voluntarily after death thinking they are entering "eternal bliss in Heaven.""

This quote from a National Insitiute of Health article on stem cell research link here just caught me with the wording.  It is almost as if one could just go to the super market and get a baby from the freezer isle!
This method uses embryos generated for in vitro fertilization (IVF) that are no longer needed for reproductive purposes. During IVF, medical professionals usually produce more embryos than a couple attempting to start a family may need. Spare embryos are typically stored in a freezer to support possible future attempts for additional children if desired. It is estimated that there are approximately 400,000 such spare embryos worldwide.

This prophecy is about us looking at ourselves and understanding how we are contributing to the planetary equation; recognizing how our beliefs, our intentions, our words and deeds feed directly to the one pool of being we are all swimming in. We have the power to uplift our shared life. Every moment invites us back to this power within us, our creative power inherent in being alive. 

13moon.com 

From the Law of Time
Synchronicity is the operation of a higher moving template of mathematical order that coordinates all phenomena telepathically. This creates the fourth-dimensional reality, the synchronic order. The fundamental cycles of the synchronic order are:

4-day cycles (harmonics):

Smallest fractal cycle. The 20 solar seals are coded by four colors to create the five time cells (4 x 5 = 20). Each of these sets is called a harmonic with a basic pattern of meaning: red (initiates), white (refines), blue (transforms), yellow (ripens).

5-day cycles (chromatics):

Five day sequence that starts and ends with same color: Yellow Fire clan, Red Blood clan, White Truth clan, Blue Sky clan. There are 73 five-day chromatics to every 52 weeks.

7-day cycles (week or heptad):

Standard measure. There are four seven-day cycles per moon (4 x 7 = 28). Each day is coded by one of the seven radial plasmas.

13-day cycles (wavespells):

Standard fractal unit of measure. A wavespell can be 13 days, 13 weeks, 13 moons, 13 years, 13 baktuns, etc. There are 20 wavespells of 13 days per 260-day spin (20 x 13 = 260).

20-day cycles (vinals and solar seals):

20-day sequence always coded by the solar seal that codes the year. Creates an annual cycle of solar meditations. 20-day cycle also refers to 20 solar seals: Dragon to Sun

28-day cycles (moons):

28 is the harmonic standard. 4 (weeks) x 7 (days) = 28. There are 13 moons per year (28 x 13 = 364) +1 (Day out of Time).

52-day cycles (castles):

Each castle consists of four color-coded wavespells (4 x 13 = 52). Five 52-day castles pace each 260-day spin (52 x 5 = 260) Castles are used to map different time ratios: 52 days, 52 years, etc.

65-day cycles (galactic seasons or spectrum):

There are four 65-day cycles within a 260-day spin. These cycles are coded by the third (electric) tone of the four kin of the polar earth family, i.e. Red Electric Serpent, White Electric Dog, Blue Electric Eagle and Yellow Electric Sun.

260-day cycles (one Tzolkin “spin”):

Fourth-dimensional timing gauge, based on a 13 x 20 matrix, which codes the 13:20 timing frequency.

365-day cycle (one solar orbit):

Also known as a solar ring, perfectly measured by the 13 Moon, 28-day harmonic standard.
364 + 1 (Day out of Time).

Note: If we coordinate the 13 Moon, 28-day pattern plus the 365^th day (Day out of Time) with the 260-day pattern, we arrive at a cycle of 18,980 days, or 52 years, or 73 of the 260-day patterns. Also note that the 52-year solar-galactic cycle corresponds to the orbit of Sirius B around Sirius A.

Solar Storms and Solar Activity

As the Sun Awakens NASA Keeps a Wary Eye on Space WeatherNASA News

June 4, 2010: Earth and space are about to come into contact in a way that's new to human history. To make preparations, authorities in Washington DC are holding a meeting: The Space Weather Enterprise Forum at the National Press Club on June 8th.

Many technologies of the 21st century are vulnerable to solar storms. [more]

Richard Fisher, head of NASA's Heliophysics Division, explains what it's all about:
"The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity. At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms. The intersection of these two issues is what we're getting together to discuss."
A century-class solar storm, the Academy warned, could cause twenty times more economic damage than Hurricane Katrina. 

Global Eruption Rocks the Sun

NASA News

Dec. 13, 2010:  On August 1, 2010, an entire hemisphere of the sun erupted. Filaments of magnetism snapped and exploded, shock waves raced across the stellar surface, billion-ton clouds of hot gas billowed into space. Astronomers knew they had witnessed something big.
It was so big, it may have shattered old ideas about solar activity.
..."We see that solar storms can be global events, playing out on scales we scarcely imagined before."
..."the global character of solar activity can no longer be ignored."

NASA News
 Oct. 26, 2010:  Every hundred years or so, a solar storm comes along so potent it fills the skies of Earth with blood-red auroras, makes compass needles point in the wrong direction, and sends electric currents coursing through the planet's topsoil. The most famous such storm, the Carrington Event of 1859, actually shocked telegraph operators and set some of their offices on fire. A 2008 report by the National Academy of Sciences warns that if such a storm occurred today, we could experience widespread power blackouts with permanent damage to many key transformers.
...When a coronal mass ejection (a billion-ton solar storm cloud) hits Earth's magnetic field, the impact causes the field to shake and quiver. These magnetic vibrations induce currents almost everywhere, from Earth's upper atmosphere to the ground beneath our feet. Powerful GICs can overload circuits, trip breakers, and in extreme cases melt the windings of heavy-duty transformers
Severe Space Weather
NASA News
..."Electric power is modern society's cornerstone technology on which virtually all other infrastructures and services depend," the report notes. Yet it is particularly vulnerable to bad space weather. Ground currents induced during geomagnetic storms can actually melt the copper windings of transformers at the heart of many power distribution systems. Sprawling power lines act like antennas, picking up the currents and spreading the problem over a wide area. The most famous geomagnetic power outage happened during a space storm in March 1989 when six million people in Quebec lost power for 9 hours: image.

...The loss of electricity would ripple across the social infrastructure with "water distribution affected within several hours; perishable foods and medications lost in 12-24 hours; loss of heating/air conditioning, sewage disposal, phone service, fuel re-supply and so on."

Interest on the US National Debt Unaffordable by 2013

"As of now, the world financial system is on the brink of collapse due to it's own shortcomings. The controller of currencies stated in 2003 that the interest on the US national debt will not be affordable in less than ten years.

This theoretically means total bankruptcy for the US economy and it's implications for the world are immense."

Wikipedia - Money Creation

In economics, money creation is the process by which the money supply of a country is expanded. There are two principal stages of money creation. First, the central bank of a country can introduce or issue new money into the economy (termed 'expansionary monetary policy'). A central bank usually injects new money into the economy by purchasing financial assets. Second, the new money introduced by the central bank is multiplied by commercial banks through fractional reserve banking, expanding the amount of broad money (i.e. cash plus demand deposits) in the economy.


Wikipedia - Treasury Security

A United States Treasury security is government debt issued by the United States Department of the Treasury through the Bureau of the Public Debt. Treasury securities are the debt financing instruments of the United States Federal government, and they are often referred to simply as Treasuries.There are four types of marketable treasury securities: Treasury bills, Treasury notes, Treasury bonds, and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). There are several types of non-marketable treasury securities including State and Local Government Series (SLGS), Government Account Series debt issued to government-managed trust funds, and savings bonds.

Wikipedia - Government Bond

"A bond is a debt investment in which an investor loans a certain amount of money, for a certain amount of time, with a certain interest rate, to a company or country"

The US government borrows money by selling Securities. The Federal reserve buys US Government Securities.

Wikipedia - Fractional Reserve Banking:


Fractional-reserve banking is the banking practice in which only a fraction of a bank's deposits are kept as reserves (cash and other highly liquid assets) available for withdrawal.[1][2][3][4] The bank lends out some or most of the deposited funds, while still allowing all deposits to be withdrawn upon demand. Fractional reserve banking is practiced by all modern commercial banks.

When cash is deposited with a bank, only a fraction is retained as reserves, and the remainder can be loaned out (or spent by the bank to buy securities). The money lent or spent in this way is subsequently deposited with another bank and increases the cash reserves of that second bank, allowing that second bank to keep a fraction of the new deposit and lend or spend the remainder. Thus the excess cash travels from bank to bank to bank creating new deposits as it goes. Although no individual bank does anything other than lend part of what is deposited with it, the practice of fractional reserve banking in a multi-bank system expands the money supply (cash and demand deposits) to a large multiple of the cash reserves in all banks.[5]

The nature of modern banking is such that the cash reserves at the bank available to repay demand deposits need only be a fraction of the demand deposits owed to depositors. In most legal systems, a demand deposit at a bank (e.g. a checking or savings account) is considered a loan to the bank (instead of a bailment) repayable on demand, that the bank can use to finance its investments in loans and interest bearing securities. Banks make a profit based on the difference between the interest they charge on the loans they make, and the interest they pay to their depositors. Since a bank lends out most of the money deposited, keeping only a fraction of the total as reserves, it necessarily has less money than the account balances of its depositors.
