Refuge from Electromagnetic Pollution (EHS)

Wisdom Quarterly


Going for refuge never sounded so good! Buddhists do not actually go for "refuge" -- even though that is how the word sarana is commonly translated. They go for guidance on the path to enlightenment.

Where can anyone go to avoid being bombarded with cell phone tower emissions, HAARP array pulses, and synthetic electromagnetic energy in general? In the rolling hills of West Virginia, where one can also find the Bhavana Society, there is a refuge.

DigitalJournal.com, BBC
Some Americans believe continuous electromagnetic radiation is making them physically ill. [Everyone agrees that it is making us ill in other ways.]

As many as five percent of Americans believe they suffer from Electromagnetic Hyper-Sensitivity (EHS). They say exposure to such devices like cell phones, wi-fi, and other electronic equipment is causing severe headaches, skin burning, muscle twitching, and chronic pain.

Diane Schou says she suffers from EHS: "My face turns red, I get a headache, my vision changes, and it hurts to THINK. Last time [I was exposed] I started getting chest pains -- and to me that's becoming life-threatening."

When Diane lived in Iowa, she believed her illness was triggered by emissions from a cell-phone mast [military-owned microwave tower]. She was even forced to live in a specially-adapted cage where electromagnetic radiation could not penetrate.

Her symptoms were so severe she was compelled to move to Green Bank, West Virginia -- a so-called "US Radio Quiet Zone" -- where wireless is prohibited across 13,000 sq miles (33,000 sq km) to prevent transmissions interfering with a number of radio telescopes in the area which listens for extra-terrestrial signals from different places in the universe, reports the BBC.

Some of the telescopes at Green Bank also serve the government's critical spy network, as reported on the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) website. More

Meditation Flash Mob: Los Angeles



Meditation Flash Mob
Saturday, October 8, 2011
12:00 - 12:30 pm
Pershing Square

Against the Stream is facilitating a Flash Mob Meditation in Pershing Square -- the heart of downtown Los Angeles. It starts at high noon on October 8, 2011, 12:00 pm.

Flash mobs consist of individuals converging on a public space simultaneously, seemingly without leadership or direction, to create a public spectacle. This is done in various ways.

People will converge on Pershing Square near the corner of 5th St. and Olive St. The point is to simply sit down and meditate for 30 minutes. Join us. All forms of practice are welcome.

Feel free to bring a cushion or anything else needed. When arriving, sit and begin -- no need to check in. See you there!

Caught in The Web ("Connected" film)

Wisdom Quarterly
(, Now Playing, Sept., 2011)

Buddhist cosmology speaks of devolutions and evolutions and epochs of quiescence and chaos, after Earthlings descended from space (Aganna Sutra), genetic manipulation (usually by nagas in a kind of creationism or celestial intervention), and always more revolutions through the aeons (kalpas in an Indian context of yugas).


US teachings about Evolution vs. Creationism

How things turn and have turned may only seem comprehensible as envisioned in the Wheel of Samsara, the "continued wandering on" or cycling through rebirths (due to our skillful and unskillful karma) in countless worlds within 31 Planes [broad categories] of Existence.

But for all that, we still get excited that our mobile device (cell phone) connects us to the Web and lets us tune in and drop out by
feeling "connected." Tiffany Shlain is onto something: We are interdependent.

Cancer Can Be Cured! But Chemo Kills (video)

Wisdom Quarterly
Almost no one dies from cancer anymore; chemotherapy kills us. Of course, doing nothing other than those customary things that created the condition will eventually kill. But that is not what most are dying from.

Cancer takes years to develop (usually seven before there was a visible tumor, which is in fact the body's attempt to save the organism's life by storing away the toxins that would otherwise kill a person). The American Cancer Society, our government, Big Pharma (the pharmaceutical-industrial complex including profit-based researchers) are all guilty of withholding the truth of cures.

What is the secret? First, the worst secret is that the Cancer Industry is not interested in curing patients. Their rate of recovery (not due to their interventions) is 2 percent. Others, like Dr. Coldwell, have a better than 92 percent rate -- according to the Institute for Statistical Medicine in Europe.

(LINK) "The Beautiful Truth" (Gerson Therapy documentary)
The Cancer Industry does not even offer a "cure." That is illegal to offer. They offer "treatments," deadly carcinogenic toxins, carcinogenic ionizing radiation, deadly invasive therapies. It is money-making insanity.

Doctors are wonderful people. But they have an average life span of 56, according to Dr. Leonard Coldwell. They have a suicide rate second only to psychiatrists/therapists, he added. Why? It is because they realize they are not healing as they originally wished to do when they entered the field.

Corporations make money by providing us cheap, toxic food and habits (fast food, fried food, denatured food, sugar, toxic food, acidifying food and body care products, worry, fear, coffee, sadness, guilt, alcohol, anger, stress...) Then we compound the problem by living in ignorance and fear, far removed from knowing anything about our bodies, our pasts, our possibilities.

Second, an alkalizing diet would go a long way to mitigating the damage being done. Breathe deeply from the belly. Eat only natural (untreated) sea salt or pink Himalayan salt. Use bases like pure baking soda (free of aluminum).


(LINK) Opinion

Avoid fermented, moldy, yeasty (which contributes to candida), addictive starches (like bread which also has gluten and sugar hazards), fungal things. Eat greens, leaves, fruits, raw/soaked nuts, beans, Quinoa, Amaranth, sprouts of all kinds, green juices, superfoods (spirulina, chlorella, blueberries, hemp oil, hemp seeds, not-too-sweet fruits, berries of all kinds.

The third secret sounds simple but seems impossible for us: Be happy whatever you do. Be happy. Do it if you want to do it (whatever it is), but be happy doing it. If you can't, then change to something you can be happy about. There is no way to happiness; happiness is the way!

The goal is proper PH, and a higher PH while healing. Drink a gallon of water a day with a a teaspoon of Himalayan salt.

Learn serenity meditation. Nothing is worth worrying about. It may be worth doing something about, but not worrying. All cancers are curable. Education -- not funded by the Cancer Industry -- is fundamental.

Wait until you are dying and the doctors have given up -- then try a cure that works because there will be nothing to lose. Or trust and do it sooner. You are never too old or too young to live well.

Apple's newest release: The "iQuit"

Wisdom Quarterly (ANALYSIS)

The Steve Jobs and Apple Story (Telegraph.co.uk). "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" - George Orwell author of 1984.



Jobs quits. (Steve Jobs is the face and founder of Apple Computers). That was his latest bombshell announcement for Apple, a company with more discretionary cash than the United States and almost as much as oil industry giants. Some reports say more than them, too. Apple stock was down 5% on the news -- and this creates a great opportunity.



With new iPhones everyone must have, apps, new modes of computing, and above new ways of looking cool in a down economy, Apple is set to rise. The stock is expensive, but when it corrects, it will be an easy profit of at least 5 percent. Technology, style, iTunes, eBooks, and Apple are not going anywhere but up. Jobs' replacement has already been at the job since January.



And Jobs is not leaving completely but will still be hanging on advising and trying to spend his hundreds of millions to get his health back, what with a recent liver replacement and pancreatic cancer and helping the CIA/NSC/TSA defeat the concept or possibility of "privacy" in the Orwellian world of today. Remember, new investors, "Buy low, sell high." That's all one needs to know to capitalize on stock trades. Lows only come on bad news or when things are new. And one never really knows when the high has been reached (until after the fact with 20/20 hindsight).

Sexed, Stressed, and Sick (addictions)

Gabormate

For Memorial Day Democracy Now! presented special programming combining the amazing contributions to understanding the root of diseases many think are genetic. He also exposes the complicity of the pharmaceutical industry: Americans, who comprise only 5% of the world's population, are prescribed 66% of the world's psychoactive medications such as Prozac.

Sex addiction is one of the main compulsions in America today, largely stemming from our traumatic childhoods, exposure to ubiquitous porn, our craving for comfort, and religious oppression. (Image: a scene from "Choke," nytimes.com).

They are actually due to childhood trauma, diet, and stress. Canadian physician, disease and addiction expert, and bestselling author Dr. Gabor Maté presents his findings together on one program.

The screen, the screen, we're as addicted to our screens as children are to candy.

This includes his groundbreaking Buddhist work In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction on sex, computer screen, workaholism, drug, excitement, and fast food cravings, which drive feel good brain chemicals.

Internet porn, masturbation, adultery, alcoholism, "acting out," what's at the root of our compulsive/self-soothing behaviors?

From disease to addiction, parenting to childhood ADD (attention deficit disorder), Dr. Maté’s work focuses on the centrality of early childhood experiences on the development of the brain and susceptibility to a wide array of "incurable" diseases and addictions.

Early childhood experiences such as being sexually mole

sted or emotionally traumatized impact everything from behavioral patterns to physical and mental illness. The relationship between emotional stress and disease -- and mental and physical health more broadly -- is often considered controversial within medical orthodoxy.


But Dr. Maté convincingly argues that many doctors seem to have forgotten what was once a commonplace assumption -- that emotions are deeply implicated in the development of illness, addictions, and psychological disorders and, more importantly, in their healing.

New Studies Confirm Cell Phone Hazards

Mark Huffman (ConsumerAffairs.com, May 23, 2011)


"Stunning proof" ignored in USA, scientists say
Since the days when cell phones were the size of bricks, there has been debate over the safety of these devices, which use radio waves to transmit voice and data.

A number of studies, stretching back more than a decade, have suggested extended cell phone exposure increases the risk of tumors and can harm human reproduction. The industry staunchly defends the safety of mobile phones, saying the studies' conclusions are unfounded.

"Stunning proof"
Now a group of international researchers meeting in Istanbul, Turkey, has released what they call “stunning proof” that confirms findings from the Council of Europe:
  • pulsed digital signals from cell phones disrupt DNA,
  • impair brain function, and
  • lower sperm count.
A meeting convened by Environmental Health Trust, with the Turkish cancer society, and Gazi University, revealed the new research that the scientists say shows damage to DNA, brain, and sperm.


Nesrin Seyhan -- an advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO) and NATO and head of the Biophysics Department and Bioelectromagnetics Laboratory at Gazi University in Ankara --presented findings that he says confirm the warning that just four hours of exposure to cell phone radiation disrupts the ability of human brain cells to repair damaged genes.

“We are deeply concerned about what this could mean for public health,” Seyhan said.

Prof. Wilhelm Mosgoeller from the Medical University of Vienna, who has led European research teams, said he found that the cell waves induce DNA breaks. Despite industry claims to the contrary, he says DNA breaks are real.

Insect studies
A research team at the University of Athens said insect studies have demonstrated that acute exposure to GSM (Global System for Mobile) signals brings about DNA fragmentation in insects’ ovarian cells, and consequently a large reduction in the reproductive capacity of the insects.

Further studies, they said, demonstrated that long exposures induced cell death to the insects in the study.

Other researchers said throughout a gestation period, exposure to radiation for just six minutes a day affects the bone formation of fetuses. The researchers also worry about the effect of cell phone use on children.

At higher frequencies, children absorb more energy from external radio frequency radiation than adults, because their tissue normally contains a larger number of ions and so has a higher conductivity.

The researchers strongly suggest limiting cell phone and cordless phone use by young children and teenagers to the lowest possible level and urgently ban telecom companies from marketing to them.

The researchers call their findings “thought-provoking” and say they have never been investigated in North America.

“The evidence justifies precautionary measures to reduce the risks for everyone of us,” Wosgoeller said.

The meeting was sponsored by Environmental Health Trust, The International Commission on Electromagnetic Safety, Gazi University and Athens University. Source

Fun with Texting!!!

Steven Hodson (Inquistr.com, Australia)

"OMG, hi!!! this is so fun!!!" "0.k., now u send me 1."

As a society we seem to love nothing better than creating psychological disorders around every new fad that comes our way. And it seems that texting is no different.

The Sydney Morning Herald in Australia has a post up in which Jennie Carroll, a Melbourne technology researcher with RMIT University, claims to have "discovered" four separate disorders when it comes to texting and children.

Yes, children are once again in danger of themselves and this wicked and evil texting thing. Why? Well, they just don’t know any better.

Carroll says teenagers who text too much could find themselves suffering from:

  1. Textaphrenia: thinking we’ve heard or felt a new text message vibration when there is no message.
  2. Textiety: a feeling of anxiety from not receiving or sending any text messages.
  3. Post-Traumatic Text Disorder: injuries related to texting, such as walking into objects by not paying attention to surroundings.
  4. Binge Texting: sending massive numbers of texts to build self-esteem among peers. More
