~~~ August 2007 Edition ~~~
Section 1 - Q & A
After listening to Ed Wiltsie's talk on Earth Changes, and specifically on the effect of the sunspot activity between 2009 - 2011, combined with the solar impact on our electromagnetic fields (electricity), I wanted to know how a Faraday cage worked to protect those inside from being affected by electromagnetic radiation.
|
In 1836 Michael Faraday observed that the charge on a charged conductor resided only on its exterior and had no influence on anything enclosed within it. To demonstrate this fact he built a room coated with metal foil and allowed high-voltage discharges from an electrostatic generator to strike the outside of the room. He used an electroscope to show that there was no electric charge present on the inside of the room's walls.
Lining a structure with copper foil and placing four feet of earth over it would be excellent shielding to protect those enclosed and any electrical appliances or tools that you will need. In addition, and this comes from one of the BTO listeners, "A friend of mine is an electronics expert and works for a huge gov't research department. The best shield for solar radiation is water. Earth usually holds some moisture. This is one reason why 4 plus feet of earth over the UG is a good shield. If one keeps the earth over the UG fairly saturated, the electronics inside will be fairly safe." |
Many students, including me, are very lazy these days. I really want to be successful in many areas of life, but the things that I think are important in my life are not my main focus. I am doing things that are less important and bypassing the things that are important. I want to know how to change this procrastination.
Procrastination is rampant in humanity. We are always going to put off what we consider important because those accomplishments create the greatest change in our lives. We complete the things that are not important as a way to distract ourselves from what is important. It is a subtle, survival mechanism housed in the part of our brain that makes our decisions. Remember, important things once accomplished have a profound effect on our life. It changes our life!! It isn't that the activity is more difficult, it's that the repercussions are more drastic.
The secret is to understand that change has always added color and depth to our lives. It is the resistance to change that creates a stagnate pond in which mosquitoes love to breed. The analogy that many of us can relate to is a relationship that is overdo for change but lasts much longer. The irony is that the moment it is over, or shortly thereafter, both parties wonder why it took so long to make that choice. It is the procrastination that is painful. The choice and its aftermath are glorious.
|
Is procrastination one of the things that holds us back from our greatness?
|
Procrastination is a combination of fear, housed in the Caudate Nucleus, and the neocortex, the decision-making part of our brain. It is a mechanism of survival that keeps us from Making Known the Unknown. It is a social program that helps keep all of us in status quo. Remember, when one horse breaks out of the corral, they all bolt. And this will just not do for those wanting to keep humanity in a predictable mode of behavior.

When gold reaches $2000 an ounce, what should I do with it? Where Do I keep my gold before selling - Home storage, bank safe deposit box, USA depository, or Swiss depository?
At any point you feel that you have maximized your profits, you should sell. If you still owe money on your primary property, and you would now have enough to pay it off, that would be my first suggestion. However, always keep enough liquidity to pay off all future property taxes. Whatever you do, you must eventually turn the gold and silver into tangible assets. You cannot eat the metal, so it must be traded for something you can use.
A safe deposit box is only good while the bank doors are open. Remember the 1930s stock market crash? The USA and Swiss depositories are very expensive - but more reliable that a safe deposit box.
Having some funds quickly available to you, either in gold or cash, can be quite useful. A good alarm system, a Rottweiller sleeping in or near your bedroom and/or a good shotgun is reasonable even if you do not have a dime in your house. However, don't under any circumstances speak to anyone about it.
Many years ago when the first students moved to Yelm to begin building their sovereignty, one of the students was strangled and killed when he came home unexpectedly to get something he had left behind. The strangers in the house were looking for his gold. The police told the RSE staff that the two greatest deterrents to robbery are nasty dogs and a fence. The sheriff told us that if you have those two elements, the robbers will look for an easier opportunity.
Here is what Jim Sinclair says regarding where to put your money after selling your gold at $2000 an ounce.
"When the price of gold satisfies you then you sell, putting 50% into the currency you need to live off and 50% into the hardest currency, thereby securing your buying power. Yes, back to paper as one needs to live." The hardest
currency now is the Canadian dollar.

Where do you live? Have you reduced your margin exposure?
In Alabama, late-paying homeowners can lose their properties to foreclosure at breathtaking speed - as little as 30 days after a delinquency notice is published.
In New York State, the process can drag on for more than a year.
With foreclosures spiking around the nation, homeowners should learn the foreclosure laws in their states - what you don't know can hurt you.
"The foreclosure laws tend to be very parochial," said Lawrence Jacobson, a real estate attorney in Los Angeles.
One major divide is whether the principle instrument securing the loan is a conventional mortgage or a "deed of trust." They are not the same even though everybody uses the term "mortgage" interchangeably.
How rare is gold?
If you gather together all the gold mined in recorded history, melt it down, and pour it into one giant cube, it would measure only about eighteen yards across! That's all the gold owned by every government on earth, plus all the gold in private hands, all the gold in electronics, in coins and from bars. It's everything that exists above ground now, or since man learned to extract the metal from the earth. All of it can fit into one block the size of a single house. It would weight 91,000 tons - less than the amount of steel made around the world in an hour. That's rare. -- Daniel M. Kehrer
INFLATION - THE NEXT BIG THING.....HOW TO CAPITALIZE UPON IT AND PROTECT YOURSELF FROM IT
Inflation will be the world's next big economic problem, and the inflation of the coming years will cause many to seek shelter in commodities to protect oneself from the inflation. Whenever inflation exists, the prices of goods and services rise as people begin hoarding. Do not be fooled into buying commodities on a margin account. Purchase coins from the area in which you live. They are easily recognized for exchange.
Midsummer Market Meltdown: Is the End Near?

Monday 30 July 2007
Last week's stock market tailspin has many of the big-time money folks worried. They have suddenly discovered risk. It turns out leveraged buyouts are not always successful, and mortgages and other debts sometimes don't get paid off. Who could have known?
There is this lurking sense that the stock market is ready to implode!! How will your financial status be if that happens before the end of 2007? Have you diversified enough to protect yourself?
CAUSALITY!!
Sharon Begley was the science editor for the Wall Street Journal when she interviewed the Dalai Lama a few months ago and asked him what it was that he was still curious to know. He answered, and I paraphrase here, he wanted to know if there is causality from the mental to the physical. In other words, is there a science that underscores thought becoming physical reality? I LOVED THAT SHE ASKED HIM THAT QUESTION AND HE ANSWERED!! The RSE Beginning Retreat answers this question in five different ways. There is an absolute science and it is beautifully described during the 4-day Beginning Retreat. Here is Sharon Begley's latest article.
Time and its 'Spooky action at a distance."

Putting Time in a (Leaky) Bottle
By Sharon Begley
July 30, 2007
Newsweek
You can tell a lot about a subject by who its muses and mascots are. Neuroscience has philosophers who wax profound about the mind, geology has intrepid explorers and subatomic physics has ... Alice in Wonderland. "Curiouser and curiouser," as Alice said, also describes the subatomic, or quantum, world. With age, this centenarian (quantum physics is 107 years old) has gotten more bizarre. "The surprises keep coming," says physicist David Albert of Columbia University. None is greater than finding loopholes in the hallowed uncertainty principle-and, even more outlandishly, seeing hints that the future may leak into the present.
Since experiments keep proving quantum ideas right, physicists are forced to take them seriously. It isn't easy. They have to admit that a particle can be in two places at once. They have to accept that subatomic systems can become so "entangled" that measuring one affects the other even if the two are light-years apart, which Einstein called "spooky action at a distance." But even as quantum weirdness provides fodder for such drivel as the best-selling book "The Secret," it also fuels debate on subjects as lofty as the nature of reality. Last week a conference at Oxford University explored the idea that every time a subatomic system reaches a decision point-to undergo radioactive decay or not, say-it chooses both possibilities: in this world the particle decays, while in a parallel world it does not. Some physicists buy this "many worlds" interpretation because the alternative is even more unpalatable: that quantum systems choose one possibility or another only when an observer looks. Einstein loathed the idea that reality is created by observers.
New studies suggest, however, that it is possible to measure something without affecting it. The key is doing the experiments, well, gently. Anyone with a vague memory of Physics 101 knows that if you shine a light on what you want to measure, or stick a thermometer in it, you alter it. Taking the temperature of a steak with a cold thermometer, for instance, cools it as heat is transferred from meat to glass. You don't know what the temperature "really" was before you jabbed in the thermometer-a notion enshrined as the uncertainty principle. To circumvent this rule, Israeli physicist Yakir Aharonov got the idea of making "weak measurements," akin to waving your hand over the steak to feel its heat. That's not very precise with meat, but it works with quantum measurements: if you make enough weak measurements, the average comes impressively close to the actual value, experiments are showing. "Weak measurements let you lift the veil of secrecy imposed by the uncertainty principle," says Paul Davies of Arizona State University.
In one use of weak measurements, particles of light (photons) fly toward a screen, one at a time. The screen has two slits. If each photon goes through one slit, they form two bright spots on Venetian blinds beyond the screen. If each photon somehow goes through both slits, however, they form black-and-white stripes when they land on the blinds. Physicists have long known that if a device observes the slits, no zebra pattern forms; it's as if quantum phenomena are too shy to display their magic-one particle going through two slits-when watched. Weak measurements might be able to get around this by being less obtrusive; studies to try are in the works.
In the meantime, experiments have put detectors on the far side of the blinds. If the blinds are open and the detectors peek at the slits, photons fly through only one slit and no zebra stripes form. If the blinds are closed so the detectors cannot see the slits, photons fly through both and form the stripes. Here's the twist: if the blinds open only after photons have passed the slits but before they reach the blinds, the stripes fail to form even though the photons have seemingly done what they must to form stripes-namely, fly through two slits, as they always do when unobserved. The act of observing alters what the photons did earlier, somehow changing things so they passed through one slit and not two. There are "many histories" a photon could have, such as passing through one slit or two, Davies writes in his new book, "Cosmic Jackpot." Making a measurement "chooses which [history] existed."
That interpretation remains speculative, but weak measurements may indeed show that "something that happens now is affected by something that happens in the future," says physicist Jeff Tollaksen of George Mason University. "It suggests that the universe has a destiny-a destiny that is out there and coming back to us from the future." Maybe physicists should replace Alice with a new muse: Trafalmadorians, who in Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five" saw past, present and future all at once like a landscape, each moment ever present. |
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN??
From: G. Edward Griffin and Aaron Russo "On July 17, President Bush signed an Executive order that authorized blocking the use of any property held by anyone he says is a threat to the "stabilization" of Iraq. That means anyone who opposes his Middle East foreign policy now is subject to loss of home, automobiles, savings, investments, and anything else considered as property.
Read the document here: www.Whitehouse.gov/news/releases/
There have been many assaults on our freedom in the last few years, but none with such totality and finality as this. We must draw the line in the sand on this issue. The American people must re-discover their indignation, get off their couches, and send a tsunami of protest to Washington. Here are three things you can do:
|
1. If you don't already know the name and contact information of you Congressman and Senator, look it up in Google. Send them a short but explicit message to the effect that you expect them to (1) introduce or support fast-track legislation to rescind the Executive Order issued July 17 relating to blocking property of those who disagree with President Bush's policy in Iraq. 2. Make a list of every organization, publication, journalist, web site, talk-show host, and community leader who understands the significance of this Executive Order and send it to us at ge.griffin@verizon.net so we can build a coalition of activists on this issue. Also send them a note or call them in person to urge them to align with the coalition and take action. 3. Send this message to everyone you know.
That's it. There is no need to explain why this is important, and there is nothing that can be said that would be more motivating than the stark possibility of a police state in which citizens loose their property if they disagree with the Leader.

Important Health News...
A major product recall has been announced that affects several million canned goods possibly tainted with botulinum toxum (botulism). These products are sold under a variety of brand names and primarily are in the category of chili, hash and similar meat-containing sauces and stews, along with dog foods. Here is the link for those recalled foods. http://www.castleberrys.com/news_productrecall.asp
Dr. Tim O'Shea - Eating as much as you want to lose weight!!
Dr. Tim was a guest lecturer at Ramtha's School last month. His greatest contribution has been to document and prove that vaccinations do not immunize. www.thedoctorwithin.com. For those of you who would like to benefit from some of his health secrets, here are some highlights from his famous New West Diet.
For radiate health, you restrict your intake to what you see in Categories I, II, and III -- no cheating. Don't be fooled -- there's still a lot of variety in those three categories. The important part is that you eat a lot, eat all the time, and don't let yourself feel the least bit hungry. If the body gets the idea that it is being starved or deprived, it will hold onto everything, including stored toxins. That's just its natural survival mechanism.
This is a program of nourishing abundance. The body must be shown that it is getting an abundance of easily digestible nutrients. Then it can let go of the debris.
The enzymes in the raw food coupled with the natural enzyme supplements are the active components of blood detoxification. Remember, the blood goes everywhere - it is the milieu in which all cells of the body are bathed every second. So if that blood is clean and oxygen-rich, so will the cells be. This program approaches the body at the cellular level-- that's why it cannot fail to work -- every time.

I. UNRESTRICTED
Raw fruits, raw vegetables (or lightly steamed), brown rice, grilled fish (Alaskan waters), whole grains, Ezekiel bread, and 1 - 2 liters of clean water.
II. WITH SOME MODERATION
Clean meats, cooked rare (clean means no hormones or antibiotics), unprocessed fruits and vegetables juices, eggs, raw dairy, raw nuts and seeds.
III. ON RARE OCCASIONS
Processed cheese, commercial pizza, commercial butter, real ice cream, canned foods, alcohol, coffee, and pasteurized dairy.

Section 2 - Environment
"Water will become more valuable than gold," is a recent quote from Ramtha.
Former UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali has predicted that "the next war in the Middle East will be fought over water" and his belief that "water will be more important than oil" -- fossil fuels have remained the bigger source of global conflict. But looking out into the future, a growing number of scientists say water is their single biggest concern. Boutros Ghali may live to see his predicted water war...and it could just as easily take place in Africa, Europe or North America as in the Middle East.
According to the UN World Water Development Report, almost 20 percent of the world's population still lacks access to safe drinking water. The statistics are staggering - one billion people without access to clean drinking water. In addition, the UN water report estimates that 30 to 40 percent of water is lost through illegal tapping and leaks. Even in a technological powerhouse like the US, we lose 6 billion gallons each day. According to the American Water Works Association, that's enough to meet the needs of the country's 10 largest cities.
The UN estimates that the world will require twice as much food by 2030, increasing the demand for irrigation which already accounts for 70 percent of water use. Hence, as rainfall patterns shift -- with some areas seeing more rain and some seeing less - many scientists simply see climate change as the straw that ultimately breaks the camel's back.
Here are some things that you and I can do to be more responsible for water management:
|
1. Fix dripping faucets or defective plumbing. Faucet drips can cause water loss of up to 212 gallons a month. Hot water drips also waste energy.
2. Take shorter showers (reducing energy to heat water). Take more showers than baths.
3. Install a low-flow showerhead.
4. Wash only full loads in the dishwasher.
5. Water your lawn only in the morning or evening, as water evaporates four to eight times faster during the heat of the day.
6. Each time your toilet is flushed, it uses 5 to 7 gallons of water. Reduce that amount by 1 to 2 gallons by placing a plastic bottle in your toilet tank. A small plastic juice bottle or laundry soap bottle filled with water works well (be sure and soak off the label and be careful that the bottle doesn't interfere with the flushing mechanism).

Mass disappearances of cod and lobster, the end of commercial skiing in New Hampshire, and weeks of heat waves over 38 Celsius in New York City and Boston, Massachusetts: That's the future the Northeast U.S. faces if world carbon emissions trends continue, says a major report on future climate impacts out today. The report, which its authors called "relatively conservative" in its conclusions, was assembled by researchers funded by the Union of Concerned Scientists in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and several foundations.
One of the most sobering projections involves rising sea levels along the U.S. eastern seaboard. Coastal floods that are now projected to occur once a century would occur "every year or two" in Boston and Atlantic City, New Jersey. Another possibility explored is summer heat that could even depress milk production 5 to 20% in cows under stress.
What has taken over 20 years, $8 billion, and the combined
efforts of more than 60 countries to create?
Near the west end of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, buried under the River Rhone, workers are fitting together the final pieces of the machine that hopes to unlock one of the biggest mysteries of the universe. It is the extraordinary particle smasher, the large hadron collider, or LHC, built and operated by CERN, the European Physics Consortium. The latest DISCOVER magazine has a large article worth reading. In this issue is also included an article on 10 Unsolved Mysteries of the Brain. You might even be able to answer one or two of those UNSOLVED mysteries.
TESTIMONIAL
"I have ordered two more copies from the Mulai De Guise website. I have also downloaded all the newsletters from your website. I thoroughly enjoyed your book, which is one of the very few I have ever read twice in virtually one sitting in my 62 years of life, from a library that I started building at the age of about 10."
