Time Wave Theory By Dan Eden, viewzone UNDERSTANDING THE TIMEWAVE THEORY, put forth by Terence McKenna, is complicated by the fact that he is dead, and that much of what he learned about the theory is alleged to have come to him during shamanic visionary states while he was living in the Amazon jungle. Hmmm… But The Timewave Theory is perhaps the hottest topic on the internet today. Lots of trendy websites have given summaries of McKenna’s theories, especially as they relate to 2012, but hardly anyone has explained the theory in a logical way. The biography of Terence McKenna is fascinating and certainly worth exploring, but I will leave that for later. The I-Ching The Chinese people are great at understanding abstractions. The I-Ching is a system for what the Western mind would call “fortune telling.” In the I-Ching, there are patterns which are composed of six possibilities, represented by either a broken line (yin) or a solid line (yang). So why is this important to the Timewave Theory? The hexagrams
Western Philosophy Futility Closet Introduction to the chakras Written by © Ewald Berkers What chakras are and their psychological properties Chakras are centers of energy, located on the midline of the body. There are seven of them, and they govern our psychological properties. The chakras can have various levels of activity. Ideally, all chakras would contribute to our being. There exist lots of techniques to balance the chakras. . 1 - Root chakra The Root chakra is about being physically there and feeling at home in situations. If you tend to be fearful or nervous, your Root chakra is probably under-active. If this chakra is over-active, you may be very materialistic and greedy. . 2 - Sacral chakra The Sacral chakra is about feeling and sexuality. If you tend to be stiff and unemotional or have a "poker face," the Sacral chakra is under-active. If this chakra is over-active, you tend to be emotional all the time. . 3 - Navel chakra The Navel chakra is about asserting yourself in a group. . 4 - Heart chakra . 5 - Throat chakra . 6 - Third Eye chakra
The 7 Most Terrifyingly Huge Things in the History of Nature Antlers Twice the Size of a Man If there existed an award for "Most Underrated Badass" in the animal kingdom, the winner would probably be deer. We always think of Bambi when we see one, but these guys charge their way through adolescence in a blood orgy of hormone-fueled, antler-clashing mayhem. But even the most badass trophy bucks of modern times pale in comparison to the beasts our ancient brethren tangled with: Via Kilburn Social ClubOne of many reasons why man invented the cannon. You see, back in the day, deer were essentially bears with what can only be called "antlers" in the Crocodile Dundee School of Zoology -- meaning that if you think deer today have massive antlers, well ...

The Crimson Crow | Just another BounceX Sites site Nina Hagen’s ‘Nunsexmonkrock’: The greatest (and weirdest) unsung masterpiece of the postpunk era Nina Hagen’s ‘Nunsexmonkrock’: The greatest (and weirdest) unsung masterpiece of the postpunk era Nina Hagen’s 1982 Nunsexmonkrock album is one of the single most ground-breaking and far-out things ever recorded and it deserves to be considered a great—perhaps the very greatest—unsung masterpiece of the postpunk era. There I’ve said it. I’ll take it even further: To my mind, it’s on the same level as PiL’s Metal Box, Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica or Brian Eno and David Byrne’s My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. It’s also something you can buy used for a single penny on Amazon. . is but a single sentence. That doesn’t mean that Nunsexmonkrock doesn’t have its hard-core passionate admirers—there are dozens of Amazon reviews and almost all of them are five-star raves—but we’re talking about something that was obscure 30+ years ago when it came out. Luckily for both of us, you don’t have to take my word for any of this, I can make my case for the epic holy/demonic genius of Nunsexmonkrock

How to avoid getting trapped in FEMA camps By James Smith I wrote a news story recently called “How technology will send you to hell in the FEMA camps” It was wildly popular and raised the question in my mind, “How do I prevent my family from going to the camps?” The first thing is to know what to expect before hand. How pending? About 15 minutes or less away from being put into a bus. Now there are people who would look forward to 3 hots and a cot. But we aren’t those people. So what do we look for? Using the backbone of a military operation, you must make the enemy (that would be you) deaf, dumb, and blind. What does that mean? Deaf means that you won’t know what is going on. Dumb, or mute, means you won’t be able to call anyone, tweet, post a Facebook update, send an email of warning. And all you have to do to secure the cell phone or land-line service is to have the US military show up at the local phone office and have them secure all lines in the place. Your neighborhood is now deaf, dumb, and blind. What do you need?

An Interview with Jacques Piccard, 1922-2008 [Photo via AP] I'm saddened to read that Jacques Piccard died today. Jacques Piccard was a Swiss oceanic engineer famous for making the deepest ever ocean dive, which he accomplished on January 23, 1960 along with Lt. Don Walsh. The two entered a bathyscaph called Trieste and descended 10,916 meters (35,810 feet) into the Challenger Deep, an area in the Pacific Ocean's Mariana Trench, touching down on the deepest part of the ocean anywhere on earth. I had the good fortune to interview Mr. Please read and enjoy it. Interview with Jacques Piccard Okay, yeah, sure Okay, please you will excuse me but my English is relatively poor. Our base was in . And until we could arrive to the place, precise place of the Mariana Trench where we were to descend, to dive, we had about four days to tow the submarine with a tugboat and the sea was pretty rough, and it was not a very nice trip. But the blue of the light was absolutely beautiful, clear and limpid and absolutely beautiful water. VO: Nuclear waste?
