      <title>Major Solar power breakthrough</title>

    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;This is a huge breakthrough for solar power...basically taking it to the next level of performance...it sounds great and I am totally stoked!&#xD;
The first part summarizes it nicely....&#xD;
&#xD;
    Requiring nothing but abundant, non-toxic natural materials, this discovery could unlock the most potent, carbon-free energy source of all: the sun. "This is the nirvana of what we've been talking about for years," said MIT's Daniel Nocera, the Henry Dreyfus Professor of Energy at MIT and senior author of a paper describing the work in the July 31 issue of Science. "Solar power has always been a limited, far-off solution. Now we can seriously think about solar power as unlimited and soon."&#xD;
&#xD;
here is the article...&#xD;

Scientists mimic essence of plants' energy storage system.&#xD;
    In a revolutionary leap that could transform solar power from a marginal, boutique alternative into a mainstream energy source, MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.&#xD;
    Until now, solar power has been a daytime-only energy source, because storing extra solar energy for later use is prohibitively expensive and grossly inefficient. With today's announcement, MIT researchers have hit upon a simple, inexpensive, highly efficient process for storing solar energy.&#xD;
    Requiring nothing but abundant, non-toxic natural materials, this discovery could unlock the most potent, carbon-free energy source of all: the sun. "This is the nirvana of what we've been talking about for years," said MIT's Daniel Nocera, the Henry Dreyfus Professor of Energy at MIT and senior author of a paper describing the work in the July 31 issue of Science. "Solar power has always been a limited, far-off solution. Now we can seriously think about solar power as unlimited and soon."&#xD;
    Inspired by the photosynthesis performed by plants, Nocera and Matthew Kanan, a postdoctoral fellow in Nocera's lab, have developed an unprecedented process that will allow the sun's energy to be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. Later, the oxygen and hydrogen may be recombined inside a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity to power your house or your electric car, day or night.&#xD;
    The key component in Nocera and Kanan's new process is a new catalyst that produces oxygen gas from water; another catalyst produces valuable hydrogen gas. The new catalyst consists of cobalt metal, phosphate and an electrode, placed in water. When electricity - whether from a photovoltaic cell, a wind turbine or any other source - runs through the electrode, the cobalt and phosphate form a thin film on the electrode, and oxygen gas is produced.&#xD;
    Combined with another catalyst, such as platinum, that can produce hydrogen gas from water, the system can duplicate the water splitting reaction that occurs during photosynthesis.&#xD;
    The new catalyst works at room temperature, in neutral pH water, and it's easy to set up, Nocera said. "That's why I know this is going to work. It's so easy to implement," he said.&#xD;
    "Giant Leap" for Clean Energy&#xD;
    Sunlight has the greatest potential of any power source to solve the world's energy problems, said Nocera. In one hour, enough sunlight strikes the Earth to provide the entire planet's energy needs for one year.&#xD;
    James Barber, a leader in the study of photosynthesis who was not involved in this research, called the discovery by Nocera and Kanan a "giant leap" toward generating clean, carbon-free energy on a massive scale.&#xD;
    "This is a major discovery with enormous implications for the future prosperity of humankind," said Barber, the Ernst Chain Professor of Biochemistry at Imperial College London. "The importance of their discovery cannot be overstated since it opens up the door for developing new technologies for energy production thus reducing our dependence for fossil fuels and addressing the global climate change problem."&#xD;
    "Just the Beginning"&#xD;
    Currently available electrolyzers, which split water with electricity and are often used industrially, are not suited for artificial photosynthesis because they are very expensive and require a highly basic (non-benign) environment that has little to do with the conditions under which photosynthesis operates.&#xD;
    More engineering work needs to be done to integrate the new scientific discovery into existing photovoltaic systems, but Nocera said he is confident that such systems will become a reality.&#xD;
    "This is just the beginning," said Nocera, principal investigator for the Solar Revolution Project funded by the Chesonis Family Foundation and co-Director of the Eni-MIT Solar Frontiers Center. "The scientific community is really going to run with this."&#xD;
    Nocera hopes that within 10 years, homeowners will be able to power their homes in daylight through photovoltaic cells, while using excess solar energy to produce hydrogen and oxygen to power their own household fuel cell. Electricity-by-wire from a central source could be a thing of the past.&#xD;
    The project is part of the MIT Energy Initiative, a program designed to help transform the global energy system to meet the needs of the future and to help build a bridge to that future by improving today's energy systems. MITEI Director Ernest Moniz, Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Physics and Engineering Systems, noted that "this discovery in the Nocera lab demonstrates that moving up the transformation of our energy supply system to one based on renewables will depend heavily on frontier basic science."&#xD;
    The success of the Nocera lab shows the impact of a mixture of funding sources - governments, philanthropy, and industry. This project was funded by the National Science Foundation and by the Chesonis Family Foundation, which gave MIT $10 million this spring to launch the Solar Revolution Project, with a goal to make the large scale deployment of solar energy within 10 years.&lt;/div&gt;</description>

MMS Is An Approved Food Additive, Water Purifier,&#xD;
Mineral Supplement, and General Cleaning Product.&#xD;
Picture of MMS bottle&#xD;
During the past seven years over 200,000 people have purchased or used MMS. In perhaps 4%of the cases, blood tests or hospital-clinic records were recorded by professionals and nurses in various countries related to MMS treatments. MMS is a water purifier, a mineral supplement, and a detoxifying agent when used internally. Medical researchers have written and presented hundreds of reports related to the use of chlorine dioxide otherwise known as the chemical salt ClO2. Scholarly articles and advanced classroom lectures are listed at this site: http://MMS-MedicalResearch.com.&#xD;
&#xD;
The concept of drinking MMS as a detoxifying agent (drinking the mixture as the protocol suggests) has been broadly received. MMS began to be circulated early in 2006 under the name "Miracle Mineral Solution" (MMS).&#xD;
&#xD;
Naturally the question arises, "Is MMS approved as a legal and safe detoxifying agent?" Chlorine Dioxide is a salt, similar to table salt, a simple chemical. It's not classified as a drug but rather as a mineral supplement. and as a water purifying agent. This chemical has been in constant use for about 70 years.&#xD;
&#xD;
The packaging and shipping of vegetable produce depends on the germicidal action of chlorine dioxide - it's part of the process that destroys germs and pathogens from the leaves and roots of vegetables. Several facts mark MMS as an approved, long-accepted, and ingestible mineral when in weak water solution. Jim Humble's discovery of the correct MMS dosage and packaging represents a breakthrough for the common man. Without his research we would never consider that chlorine dioxide could be used internally to remove toxins from the body. Here are the reasons that MMS is recognized in most countries as a valued anti-bacterial and germicidal agent.&#xD;
&#xD;
 	MMS (Chlorine Dioxide) IS AN APPROVED PRODUCT&#xD;
The EPA Recognizes the MMS Chemical: 	In various publications the Environmental Protection Agency has endorsed chlorine dioxide as a superior germicidal and antibacterial agent. One of their published articles is here showing their endorsement of the basic chlorine dioxide salt as a detoxifying agent. - HERE: http://mms-articles.com/EPA-cl-02-article.pdf&#xD;
The MMS Chemical is sold and marketed correctly as a Mineral Salt: 	When chlorine dioxide kills a pathogen, it self-converts into one molecule of table salt (sodium chloride) and two of water. Mineral salts of all types are sold in health-food stores and on the internet.&#xD;
City Water Purification Systems: 	Chlorine Dioxide is preferred as a water purifier over pure chlorine because it leaves no toxic waste in the water as it destroys pathogens. We have all ingested small amounts of chlorine dioxide - as when we drink city water.&#xD;
Anthrax Killer: 	MMS kills all known bacteria, viruses, fungus, and parasites,so it was the preferred choice to clear Anthrax from duct piles and walls in government offices. To do this a company that specializes in sterilization of closed spaces was hired to pump chlorine dioxide gas through air-conditioning duct pipes and ventilators. By contract they had to guarantee that all anthrax spores would be destroyed and removed. The gas was generated outside the buildings, then piped into the air ducts. ClO2 gas was circulated through the offices for several days. It was reported that the treatment was so effective that it partially bleached clothing that was left hanging in closets. Some carpets were also a different lighter color than before the treatment.	&#xD;
Household Germicidal Cleanser: 	See a full page of common chlorine dioxide cleaning products at http://frontierpharm.com/index.php. There's even a toothpaste based on chlorine dioxide - another instance where we ingest this germicidal molecule. Note that some of these products explicitly use chlorine dioxide internally as well as externally. Nail fungus treatments and other products can be seen at the address above. These are approved products.&#xD;
Food Additive: 	Chlorine Dioxide gas has been legally approved as a valuable additive used in the packing of meats and canned goods. A wisp of the gas can be included in food packages just before sealing, guaranteeing destruction of salmonella, botulism, E-coli, and other pathogens.&#xD;
Used by Children: 	At camping stores you can buy several types of water purification bottles or packages. MMS is first and foremost a purifying agent. One drop in a pint of water is claimed to be free of all pathogens within two minutes. It deodorizes, purifies, and is claimed to even make urine drinkable. It's a legal product in nearly all camping and outdoor stores.&#xD;
Seventy year history: 	Soon after World War II sodium chloride was discovered and was soon used as most effective agent for disinfecting ships, train stations, public restrooms, and hospital tables. Over 60 uses of ClO2 are listed in over 60,000 web pages. A search using yahoo.com or Alta-Vista displays the scope of use that chlorine dioxide enjoys.&#xD;
No one has died: 	75,000 successful recoveries from a wide variety of diseases demonstrate that it's virtually impossible to overdose on MMS (As vomiting would prevent this)&#xD;
&#xD;
The MMS discovery has been demonstrated to medical doctors, hospitals, and clinic administrators who themselves report the reliability of this surprising new approach to the treatment of a broad range of diseases. If you're taking prescription drugs, it's unlikely there'll be any interaction between MMS and other drugs because the MMS sleuth is only looking for so-called "non-breathing pathogens" to destroy. (See Menu Item.) But if in doubt, consider restricting one or the other temporarily.&#xD;
&#xD;
Vitamin C temporarily diminishes the effect of MMS so it's suggested that Vitamin C be taken two hours or longer after any given dose of MMS. For information on why normal body cells remain completely unaffected by MMS, see Frequently Asked Questions, or read through 127 pages of Humble's Book One.&#xD;
&#xD;
The uses of MMS or Chlorine dioxide go beyond the normal antibiotic. It's also a deodorizer and anti-bacterial germicide of the first order.&#xD;
&#xD;
The basis for MMS claims are presented formally in the published article at this off-site address:  http://MMSarticle.com . We are hopeful that another 75,000 testimonials regarding the health benefits of MMS will be collected. This will assist in spreading word about this amazing discovery. It is not advertised but merely by word of mouth.&#xD;

&#xD;
This web site aims to provide educational materials as new reports come in related to surprising health benefits. Testimonials don't help "prove" effectiveness in a scientific way because double-blind testing must always precede statistical reporting.&#xD;
&#xD;
Here's a typical unscientific example in the case of this writer: on the 5th day of taking MMS, and at only the 8-drop level, skin moles began crumbling and several soon fell off. Other people (including one medical doctor) reported that a lingering cold disappeared two hours after taking the first MMS dose.&#xD;
&#xD;
These types of testimonials are interesting but they're not convincing to medical researchers unless those people are re-tested to see if any real difference actually occurred.&#xD;
&#xD;
This writer understands the weakness in testimonial assurances. You can't generalize or expect medical approvals from a few nice stories. Jim Humble was prudent to obtain such a large "sampling" - so big that it became a population (no longer a sampling) of 75,000 recorded recoveries.&#xD;
&#xD;
The goal here is to provide a flow of updated materials that enable MMS users to understand how MMS works, why it works, and how others have used it in various specific ailment situations. For background info on the site owner and writer, see the www.SuperSite.com Home Page Disclaimer. Picture of virus with broken cell walls.&#xD;
Any direct health advice viewed here is a report of what other qualified researchers and medical authorities have published. The experiences of persons who submitted testimonials is of interest but should not be used as equivalent to professional health advice. As sovereign individuals we each must evaluate and make personal decisions about the application of other people's health experiences and opinions..&#xD;
http://MMS-Central.com is a place where MMS users can type in their stories and experiences. You can read other people stories there also.&#xD;
&#xD;
Health is a critical factor. Gradually you'll overcome the helpless victum mind-set if you do research and listen to your body as you experiment with alternative health options. Rather than saying for example - "these terrible cold sores just keep coming back, nothing helps," instead take responsibility, test the claims of MMS for yourself. Mix MMS in your kitchen, keep a schedule, and a diary. Experience demonstrates that no harm can be done - and a lot of good may result as has been documented in the writings and experiences of many people.&#xD;
&#xD;
MMS is obviously a life-extending opportunity because thousands of people during the MMS test-years were doomed to early death from Malaria, TB, and HIV. But by taking MMS, their viruses were destroyed - typically in two to five days. These are happy people brought back from an early death sentence.&#xD;
&#xD;
The bibliography of 90 scientific reports and papers related to the internal use of Chlorine Dioxide gas and it's sterilizing properties is in the appendix of Jim Humble's free "Book One." Extracts from that material are posted at http://MMS-bibliograhy.MMSsuperSite.com lending this Web site an ample and continuing basis for statements and findings from authoritative sources. There is a $10.00 for "Breakthrough Book Two"  Click Here It provides yet more quality studies and outcomes for those who seek documentation.&#xD;

      <title>The California Chakra System...</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/johnnybe/blog/95b45376-56bb-4a61-8095-868b1100763e</link>
      <description>&lt;a href="http://people.tribe.net/johnnybe/blog/95b45376-56bb-4a61-8095-868b1100763e"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/6a3/0e5/6a30e52f-0278-4bae-ba01-bcd3ab8b53ad.thumb" width="65" height="72" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;Looking at a map of the state of California and comparing&#xD;
 them with the ancient Yoga chakra system or energy centers&#xD;
 within the human body.&#xD;
 I have found that the Chakras of the&#xD;
body also pertain to energy centers in California.&#xD;
 Both the cities and the land manifest themselves through&#xD;
 the elements to create the diverse climates of California. The&#xD;
Sierra Nevada Mountain range is the spine of the&#xD;
Goddess running north to south along the Eastern&#xD;
border of the State. The internal valleys of the state&#xD;
are her vital organs, and Mt Shasta the crown.&#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
 The base Chakra is the energy center for foundation,&#xD;
self-preservation and physical identity, or Earth. The&#xD;
base chakra of California stems from San Diego, the&#xD;
southern most cities in the state to Los Angeles.&#xD;
Interestingly, That entire area is where the battles&#xD;
of the Mexican-American war were waged. On February 2,&#xD;
1848, The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was signed,&#xD;
ending the war between Mexico and the United States.&#xD;
The Treaty set the boundary between US and Mexico,&#xD;
Thus forming California into an American State. This&#xD;
area is historically and spiritually the base chakra&#xD;
of the state. &#xD;
&#xD;
If you ask people what they think of when you say Los&#xD;
Angeles, they often will say Glamour, illusion,&#xD;
stardom, sex, drugs and rock and roll. Absolutely.&#xD;
This is where we find the active and volatile second&#xD;
Chakra. The energy center of water, emotion,&#xD;
sexuality, primal drive, desire and change. This is so&#xD;
true of this region and of this element. Anyone who&#xD;
has spent any amount of time in L.A. can tell you that&#xD;
it has an illusive, hungry nature to it. L.A. Is where&#xD;
Illusions are pumped out by the Moviemakers, and&#xD;
advertising agency, where sex, youth and beauty drive&#xD;
the culture. Fads are born and die, music is turned&#xD;
into a commodity to be bought and sold. It is also the&#xD;
porn capitol of the United States, if not the world.&#xD;
The rates of drug addiction and teenage runaways&#xD;
abound. It is a place that preys on beauty and&#xD;
innocence. It is glamorous, enticing, exiting and if&#xD;
abused, dangerous.&#xD;
 &#xD;
 The third chakra, Fire, Ego identity, oriented to&#xD;
self-definition. This chakra is known as the power&#xD;
chakra, located in the solar plexus. It rules our&#xD;
personal power, will, and autonomy, as well as our&#xD;
metabolism,and  money. When healthy, this chakra brings us&#xD;
energy, effectiveness, spontaneity, and non-dominating&#xD;
power. North from L.A. lays the central coast of California.&#xD;
This is a place where some of the most beautiful and&#xD;
picturesque pristine beaches, cities and towns can be&#xD;
found. Namely Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo. &#xD;
Santa Barnara county is the wealthiest county and most &#xD;
expensive in the entire California state. Its no mistake that&#xD;
 power, status, and money are so associated with this region.&#xD;
 &#xD;
The 4th / Heart Chakra is equated with love and life giving&#xD;
 bountiful abundance in the form of nutrition&#xD;
The San Joaquin is a giant valley, like a&#xD;
womb that stretches the length of the state from the&#xD;
town of Gilroy just south of San Jose, all the way to&#xD;
San Luis Obispo, approximately 150 miles. This is the&#xD;
growing region and it is bountiful and lush with&#xD;
agriculture. This fertile womb is fed by umbilical&#xD;
called the Salina River; it is also the longest&#xD;
underground river in America with nearly 80 miles of&#xD;
its 150-mile length occurring below the surface.&#xD;
Besides being fed by its tributaries, some of the&#xD;
water released into the Salinas River to feed many people all around.&#xD;
 Salinas Valley Chamber of Commerce reports&#xD;
that The Salinas Valley is the center for Monterey&#xD;
County’s 3 billion-dollar agriculture industry. Due to&#xD;
its temperate, Mediterranean-like climate and fertile&#xD;
soils, the county has become the number one&#xD;
vegetable-producing region in the nation. The area&#xD;
supplies 80 percent of the nation’s lettuces and&#xD;
nearly the same percentage of artichokes. Broccoli,&#xD;
cauliflower, spinach, strawberries, peppers, squash,&#xD;
carrots, asparagus, celery, tomatoes, mushrooms,&#xD;
brussels sprouts, garlic, onions and flowers are also&#xD;
grown in abundance. In addition, Monterey County has&#xD;
become one of the largest premium grape growing&#xD;
regions in California, with over 40,000 acres of wine&#xD;
grapes. *] Truly this is the womb of the Goddess of&#xD;
California, nestled high and deep within the&#xD;
fertile soil, nourished by the healing, life giving&#xD;
waters,&#xD;
 &#xD;
 Chakra Five: Sound, Communication,&#xD;
Creative identity, oriented to self-expression This is&#xD;
the chakra located in the throat and is thus related&#xD;
to communication and creativity. Here we experience&#xD;
the world symbolically through vibration, such as the&#xD;
vibration of sound representing language. of  is the San Jose Valley.&#xD;
San Jose being the throat chakra is also seen&#xD;
in the description of the chakra itself. Air, communication...&#xD;
the world wide web of interconnectedness. The Silicon Valley... &#xD;
Technological Mecca for&#xD;
the world of computers. The Gods and icons of&#xD;
the computer industry, are here, Apple Computer, Inc.,&#xD;
IBM, Intel, EBay, Cisco, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard,&#xD;
to name a few. This is where all the visionaries with&#xD;
there visions Create. Continuation, evolution and the&#xD;
lifeblood of the state, of the nation, its technology&#xD;
and invention is pumped from here, into the state the&#xD;
nation, and the world. San Jose is the creative 5th chakra&#xD;
doing its work to ensure the future. The technological industry draws people from&#xD;
all over the world. Here you find groves, mosques,&#xD;
churches, Temples, synagogues, shrines Rosicrucian’s,&#xD;
Masons, Orthodox, Moslem, Christians, Jews, Pagans,&#xD;
reforms, Buddhists, So many different groups of people&#xD;
and systems of culture and belief.&#xD;
Also in this same region is more of the throat/ communication chakra&#xD;
further to the north, starting in San Francisco and&#xD;
the east and North Bay,This probably doesn’t surprise anyone. San Francisco is the&#xD;
Voice of California. Politics, alternative lifestyles,&#xD;
religions, cultures, you name it. The energies of the&#xD;
fifth chakra can be heard, especially coming from&#xD;
Berkley and San Francisco. It is the part of the&#xD;
state, that speaks loudly&#xD;
about equality for all people, pride in ones nature&#xD;
and ones beliefs, no matter what they may be or how&#xD;
others react. It is an activist, this energy. Whenever&#xD;
changes are needed locally or globally, you will first&#xD;
hear of it coming from this region of the state and&#xD;
often the changes are far- reaching into the world.&#xD;
Sacramento, the capital govt seat also is an important &#xD;
aspect of the throat chakra as it speaks and represents &#xD;
the rest of the entire state.&#xD;
 &#xD;
&#xD;
Chakra Six: Light, Archetypal identity, oriented to&#xD;
self-reflection This chakra is known as the brow&#xD;
chakra or third eye center. It is related to the act&#xD;
of seeing, both physically and intuitively. As such it&#xD;
opens our psychic faculties and our understanding of&#xD;
archetypal levels. When healthy it allows us to see&#xD;
clearly, in effect, letting us "see the big picture."&#xD;
This is the area known as the wine region of&#xD;
California. Sonoma, Mendocino, Napa Valley and&#xD;
surrounding areas. This area of California is where&#xD;
allot of people come to find clarity. It is a rich area not only in soil for growing grapes but also in&#xD;
being a place where the rich come to get away.  This&#xD;
region is host to an insane amount of spas, resorts,&#xD;
retreats, ashrams, Mineral springs, Yoga retreats, and&#xD;
I am sure other types of places for the relaxing and&#xD;
purifying of the mind, body and spirit. Another draw&#xD;
to this place is hot air ballooning. I find it an&#xD;
interesting correlation that air is the element of&#xD;
thought and clarity. This is a place where people&#xD;
pilgrimage to, to rise above it all.&#xD;
&#xD;
Finally we reach the Crown Charka. What is the crown&#xD;
Jewel of California? It is truly California’s most&#xD;
sacred site. Towering over the Northern California&#xD;
forest at 14,162 ft. (4,317 meters) is Mount Shasta.&#xD;
This is a very holy place and a subject of much&#xD;
controversy concerning extra-terrestrials, lemurian,&#xD;
atlantian, and mystical lore. Even before you reach&#xD;
the mountain itself, you are aware of the sacred&#xD;
energy. It abounds. The headwaters for the great&#xD;
Sacramento River that feeds much of Inland California,&#xD;
has its source here. The tales say that even in times&#xD;
of drought, this spring continues to flow from its&#xD;
underground source, flowing up to the surface from&#xD;
behind a mossy rock. Sound Familiar? This area is&#xD;
also the home of several sacred lakes such as lake medicine, &#xD;
Castle Lake, Lake Siskiyou and Hart Lake. There are also the McCloud Falls, &#xD;
which cascade over Lava&#xD;
rock formations left behind from the once, active&#xD;
volcanic region. In fact another fascinating feature&#xD;
of this landscape is “Glass Mountain which covers 4210 acres of black&#xD;
volcanic glass, called obsidian. This mountain&#xD;
exhibits the results of multi-stage volcanic activity&#xD;
so recent that there has been no modification by&#xD;
weathering, erosion or vegetative cover. “&#xD;
(http://www.kachina.net/~alunajoy/shasta.html) This&#xD;
Area of Northern California is the last frontier of&#xD;
the Native American people. The missionaries and their&#xD;
expeditions did not claim as strong a hold here as&#xD;
they did in the rest of the west. This is the last&#xD;
stronghold of the Shasta, Karok, Atsugewi, Modoc,&#xD;
Achumawi and Wintu Peoples. Many of these tribes&#xD;
revered Mount Shasta as sacred and had many different&#xD;
legends and tales that revolved around the mountain.&#xD;
Their descendants still practice the ways of their&#xD;
ancestor on their ancestral sacred lands. Their&#xD;
worldview is centered on this holy mountain. This is&#xD;
information gleaned from http://www.antakarana.com&#xD;
“Mt. Shasta is an extremely ancient sacred site, some&#xD;
say dating from before the sinking of Lemuria.  There&#xD;
is evidence to indicate that the area is even part of&#xD;
the old Lemurian continent which collided with the&#xD;
North American tectonic plate in the natural course of&#xD;
events.  For example, the Calmiopsis Wilderness in&#xD;
nearby southwestern Oregon is part of the same land&#xD;
mass and is habitat to flora found nowhere else on the&#xD;
planet. Tales abound of multi-layered realities that&#xD;
include a colony of Lemurians living within the&#xD;
mountain in a city called Telos, who mingled as late&#xD;
as the early 20th century with the inhabitants of the&#xD;
surrounding towns.  Ascended Masters of the ancient&#xD;
Order of Melchizedek are said to appear to worthy&#xD;
individuals who have properly prepared themselves for&#xD;
personal tutelage.  An intergalactic university is&#xD;
said to exist on the etheric plane over the Mountain.&#xD;
UFO activity is so common that local residents rarely&#xD;
bother to comment on it. “&#xD;
&#xD;
Mount Shasta is easy to spot on a map of California&#xD;
simply because it IS the crowning center of the North&#xD;
the crown charka that relates to consciousness as pure&#xD;
awareness. It is our connection to the greater world&#xD;
beyond, to a timeless, spaceless place of all knowing.&#xD;
When developed, this charka brings us knowledge,&#xD;
wisdom, understanding, spiritual connection, and&#xD;
bliss. Mt Shasta is an energy vortex of great power and &#xD;
antiquity much like Glastonbury. It attracts the same kind &#xD;
of seekers, spiritualist, as well as the old&#xD;
souls who once called it home. It is a place of&#xD;
reception, connection, and enlightenment.&#xD;
&#xD;
The seven charkas of the human body in alignment to&#xD;
the seven energies of the Goddess and her body, which&#xD;
is the landscape of California, is wisdom rich with&#xD;
understandings.&#xD;
An interesting but little known fact is how California&#xD;
got its name. It is appropriately named after an&#xD;
enchanted and beautiful Island of women. There is an&#xD;
Old Spanish romance called 'The Exploits of&#xD;
Esplandian' that was published in the sixteenth&#xD;
century. It mentions a fabulous island, populated&#xD;
entirely by women, and overflowing with gold and&#xD;
pearls. The island in the story is named California.&#xD;
It is believed that Cortes, on hearing a description&#xD;
of the land “discovered” he called it California.&#xD;
I actually have found in my meditations that I&#xD;
pronounce and see the name as being written as&#xD;
Kali-Fornia. I believe the Goddess has given this to&#xD;
me as her name, in this day and age for the land&#xD;
called California. The following is an excerpt from&#xD;
information gleaned from http://www.kabalarians.com/&#xD;
the name of KALI is one that assumes considerable&#xD;
responsibility and to prefer to work independently,&#xD;
without direction or interference from others because&#xD;
of very definite ideas of her own.  Her mind is quick&#xD;
to comprehend and she can be depended upon to do any&#xD;
job well. This name does make her quite direct and&#xD;
straight-to-the-point.  Her verbal expression does not&#xD;
reflect your inner thoughts and feelings, and she may&#xD;
often wonder why people react to what she says. FORNIA&#xD;
has the qualities of being” inspirational, idealistic,&#xD;
and dramatic.  She has a clever, deep mind and the&#xD;
talent to excel in highly inspirational lines of&#xD;
endeavor as a dramatist, musician, writer, or artist.&#xD;
She can be lifted by beauty in all forms and is at the&#xD;
most creative when inspired.  Her expressive,&#xD;
affectionate nature responds quickly through feelings,&#xD;
but she must guard against being possessive and&#xD;
jealous.  She delights in mystery and her sensitivity&#xD;
to things she does not understand could draw her into&#xD;
occult studies or religions.&#xD;
&#xD;
What is in a name? What is in a landscape? Wisdom,&#xD;
Understanding, beauty, The Goddess, She is everywhere,&#xD;
every name,  every being even in California, USA.&#xD;
&#xD;
I will be writing one on the Hawaiian Islands as well...Big I the root, on through to Kauai the 3rd eye...&lt;/div&gt;</description>

      <title>A Transformational Journey</title>
      <link>http://people.tribe.net/johnnybe/blog/6e747e25-8b28-4966-a79f-a1d18f2e35c1</link>
      <description>&lt;a href="http://people.tribe.net/johnnybe/blog/6e747e25-8b28-4966-a79f-a1d18f2e35c1"&gt;  						          &lt;img class=" picThumb" src="http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/62c/5af/62c5af28-cc58-466f-9ecd-8ee47305395f.thumb" width="65" height="26" alt="" /&gt;
    &lt;/a&gt;
										&lt;div&gt;Gosh, this is my 1st real Blog...and I find it really important to express what is happening in my life...as I express, I learn and recieve back from others...so cool. &#xD;
Well its been about 3 months since I landed here in Maui for my Park Service position in Haleakala National Park.  Being here in the islands can be intense as these are super tall volcanic islands from the bottom of the great pacific ocean...Maui is actually almost 30,000 ft tall in total height....WOW.  So I am typically working above the clouds... see enclose photo of my typical work environment  I also work  deep inside the crater which can fit all of Manhattan inside of it.&#xD;
&#xD;
This crater is a major earth vortex point and has alot of energy up there...I have accelerated my karma burning alot just by being up there so much...I have also gotten in major kine shape hiking in and out weekly...you should see this 1500 ft swithback climb up the side of the crater! An ass kicker for sure. I have seen lots of amazing things out there and UP there too...tons of ships are in the sky and I am beginning to see the energy lines across the moonlit sky...pretty cool thing to witness.&#xD;
&#xD;
Besides the work scene I have found a really nice studio cottage in Haiku on a palm tree filled 3 acres with super cool landlords that are Waldorf teachers and organic farmers...very nice family with 3 children. I feel pretty blessed here although my journey has had some challenges that has only accelerated my personal growth as a humble human BE~ing. I have delved deeper into my energy heart clearing tons of stuff and absorbing the mana here more and more by the day. My body, mind and spirit has seen alot of streamlining and it just continues to evlove. It is amazing when ya get deep into the crusty core of yourself...when energy chuncks are coming up and out in meditation...when burst after burst is coming off the spine...wow...talk about energy. Its my path though and its what I have chosen. I am beginning to realize how so few have chosen to awaken at this time...it just is easier to just continue being who you are and not dismantling the countless lifetimes of stored energy inside...I just find it amazing...but thats freewill choice for ya!&#xD;
Eventually we return back to our natural state...energy...spirit...and vibration becomes the reality of who we are...whats your vibe?&#xD;
&#xD;
I have also met alot of cool burner type folks and we are gathering weekly to plan a Burning man type regional event  called Source in February for 3 days! There is a solid group of folks already involved and its very exciting. I have been to some pretty fun parties including a boat party last night with very good DJ's and the island of Maui in the background...all night long. &#xD;
&#xD;
 &#xD;
As I write this I feel it necessary to extend a ray of light from my heart to yours. I am breathing in the love the Aloha and you are recieving it on a subtle level via our higher selves....which is something I am totally beginning to tune into an drealize we are always communicating on this level. I send you love uncondtionally and may you smile that I am a reflection of you...and you to me.&#xD;
&#xD;
With Aloha love,&#xD;
Johnny Be&lt;/div&gt;</description>
