The Pineal Gland - The "Seat of the Soul"?

Entirely by Gary Vey (viewzone.com), After writing several articles on reincarnation and enlightenment, many readers asked me why I never mentioned the significance of the pineal gland -- a small structure about the size of a pea, located in the middle of the brain. Descartes was obsessed with understanding who we are. He observed that the senses can be fooled, that most of what we think we know is really illusion and finally struggled with the possibility that our own identity as individuals was also not real. His famous statement endures: Cogno ergo sum -- I think, therefore I am. Although the soul is joined with the entire body, there is one part of the body [the pineal] in which it exercises its function more than elsewhere... Today, with an understanding of computers, we might take issue with Descartes. Brain Sand
The Bush-Florida-Cuba connection !
The Bush-Florida-Cuba connection The Bush-Florida-Cuba connection By Larry Chin December 27, 2000 | On November 22, a violent Republican-sanctioned mob shut down the Miami-Dade canvassing board, stopping a decisive ballot recount, and snuffing out Al Gore's chances for victory. This incident, which was instrumental in seizing the American presidency for George W. Bush, was not (as most media accounts suggest) merely the work of [Tom] DeLay congressional aides and angry pro-Bush protestors. In fact, the true intimidation came at the hands of hundreds of militant right-wing Cuban operatives. 1953. 1960–1961. 1963. 1968–1973. 1973. * 1976.

e Photographs of Male Relationships in Everyday American Photography From Before the Civil War to the 1950s
There was a time in America when two men pictured with their arms wrapped around each other, or perhaps holding hands, weren’t necessarily seen as sexually involved—a time when such gestures could be seen simply as those of intimate friendship rather than homoeroticism. The photographs, spanning from before the Civil War to the 1950s, reveal a lost world. They present men of different ages, classes, and races in a range of settings: posed in photographers' studios, on beaches, in lumber camps, on farms, on ships, indoors and out. They show men comfortably sitting on each other's laps, embracing, holding hands, and expressing their various relationships through countless examples of simple physical contact. Men as Friends From the Civil War through the 1920’s, it was very common for male friends to visit a photographer’s studio together to have a portrait done as a memento of their love and loyalty. Snapshots After WWII, casually touching between men in photographs decreased precipitously.
Captive Snake With No Male Companion Gives Birth, Again | TIME
(ST. LOUIS) — For the second time in two years, a captive snake in southeast Missouri has given birth without any interaction with a member of the opposite sex. Officials at the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center say a female yellow-bellied water snake reproduced on her own in 2014 and again this summer. The snake has been living in captivity, without a male companion, for nearly eight years. This year’s offspring didn’t survive, but the two born last summer are on display at the nature center, about 100 miles south of St. Conservation Department herpetologist Jeff Briggler said virgin births are rare but can occur in some species through a process called parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis is a type of asexual reproduction in which offspring develop from unfertilized eggs, meaning there is no genetic contribution by a male. The conservation department said there are no other documented cases of parthenogenesis by a yellow-bellied water snake.
What is String Theory?
For the past decade, physicists all over are focusing their attention on string theory. But what is string theory? A simple explanation to string theory is that it is the basic fundamental building block for everything. That basically is the most simple answer to what String Theory is. When we look an object, we know it is made up of molecules. According to string theory, these quarks (including the electron) can still be broken up into smaller units. What string theory suggests is that the whole universe is made up of these strings. Based on the math, for these strings to exists, the universe has to be made up of not just three dimensions, but ten dimensions. Video: David Tong, a physicist at Cambridge University, explains String Theory Why is string theory important? Presently, there are four known forces existing in the universe. For example, gravity according to Einstein is transmitted through the dimension of space. String theory attempts to unify all these forces into one theory.
