Dear Ones, you are on the planet to make a difference. Your superpower is love. ~Archangel Gabriel

You are because you are. It is because it is. Questioning this is part of human nature, the exercising of the free will you were gifted. Use it and love your human side because of it. ~ Creator

A new study out of Canada shows hard evidence of the fact that meditation can change the human body at the cellular level. Canadian scientists found that the protein caps at the end of our chromosomes that denote cellular aging had not diminished at all in cancer survivors that opted to meditate daily. This draws a clearer mind-body connection than previously thought.

Meditation is good for a lot of things. We already know that meditation can assist you in strengthening the connections in your brain, but with this new study, the evidence of a mind-body connection is even stronger. Meditation might actually be useful in prolonging life and treating terminal illnesses.

Immoral Science: the World Behind the Security Fence

This article describes the events of my professional life, in particular my work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Dow Corning, and the University of Crete. It explains why it was necessary for me to resign from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and how scientists unintentionally get drawn into working with nuclear weapons. It directs a beam of light on the world behind the security fence – a world that the scientists who join these labs are not told about when they are hired.

In this article we will explore how the true teachings of Jesus can be summed up by three little words: you are God. Some missionaries came to my house the other day and I was given the opportunity to come face to face with the religious mind, to discover their relationship to God, and to remember my own (non-voluntary) experience with religion.

In such a short time though it was, it was absolutely clear that the foundational flaw of religion based off of the bible as it is primarily taught today (and in general, for the past 2000 years), is that it teaches first and foremost that we are separate from this force called God. But that is a contradiction because the bible, specifically the teachings of Jesus as I will clearly illustrate, teach that you are god, and that we are all God.

So, I have taken it upon myself to convince those missionaries, and you, that you are not only equal to God, but that you are God.

In 2011, scientists reported that they created the “world’s first practical artificial leaf”.  This leaf mimics real leaves by producing energy from water and sunlight.

This idea was presented as a potential for inexpensive electricity for people who are in developing countries and remote areas of the world.  The reason why it would be so beneficial in these environments is because it has the ability to self heal and produce energy using dirty water.

The Artificial Leaf has many of the abilities of regular leaves such as getting energy from sunlight and water but, unlike a real leaf, lacks the ability to perform photosynthesis.  Daniel G. Nocera, Ph.D. who was head of the research on this project says that the leaf is made out of a simple wafer of silicon coated in a catalyst.  Once this device is dropped into water and then exposed to sunlight it breaks down the water into its original components of hydrogen and oxygen.  The gases from these two basic elements bubble up to the surface and are collected to be used as fuel.  The fuel can then be used to make electricity.
