By Joe Burd
Strangely enough, although I'm quite interested in numerous issues and topics including this particular subject, the idea to write this article came while researching my next major editorial series on Jean Keating's Prison Treatise and certificated monetary birth rights inherent to people all over the world, especially those in North America and Europe. Aside from being touted as one of the greatest legal minds of the past century in broad circles, Jean Keating was also an accomplished, respected researcher and scientist that spent a lot of his scientific career working on scalar weapon technologies.
During a 2004 seminar that I was reviewing, in the middle of the seminar Mr. Keating suddenly digressed from the main point and brought up the controversial topic of Planet X. He went on further to talk about how this elusive, but still officially unrecognized in the eyes of the scientific community as a whole, planetoid or Nemesis star is traveling toward Earth's sun, situated in the core of our solar system, and when this interaction happens, scheduled to occur in 2012, it could cause substantial problems for our little blue planet.

Dharma is a concept that is difficult to define specifically, but it can be translated as "the law that expresses and maintains the unity of creation" (Easwaran 9), as "integrity or harmony in the universe" (Easwaran 9) or more simply, as "moral duty" (Easwaran 50). In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna's understanding and acceptance of his dharma as a warrior is a central theme.
The orthodox interpretation of the place of dharma in discussing the morality of war is that is it the moral duty or dharma of warriors to fight wars, because that is their nature (Easwaran 50).
For the contemporary reader of the Bhagavad Gita, this unilateral thinking in devotion to a person's dharma seems to obviate the need for moral responsibility for one's actions. I had a strong negative reaction to this concept. Krishna counsels Arjuna that he must not attach himself to any outcome of his actions and told him that the opposing warriors would be dead whether or not Arjuna participated, because He, Krishna, had already willed it.

Jung’s Quarternity, Mandalas, the Stone and the Self
By Carbonek
During a difficult period in his life in which he withdrew from his teaching position and devoted much of his time investigating the nature of the unconscious, Jung frequently painted or drew mandalas, but only learned to understand the mandala symbology many years after he had begun creating the images.
He understood only that he felt compelled to make the figures and that they comforted him, “Only gradually did I discover what the mandala really is: “Formation, Transformation, Eternal Mind’s eternal recreation”. And that is the self, the wholeness of the personality, which if all goes well is harmonious, but which cannot tolerate self-deceptions” (MDR 195-196). Mandalas are defined by Jung as magic circles, containing certain design motifs that he found to have a universal nature, across cultures and across time, whether they are the transiently created mandalas from Tibet, sand paintings from the American southwest, or illustrations from ancient, medieval, and Renaissance alchemical works.

By Penthar:
The schemes for time travel from established science tend to fall into a few categories:
Special relativity is the theory with all that jazz about traveling near the speed of light. Changes in masses, lengths, and most importantly here, time.
This is what you might call a one way ticket to the future; traveling near the speed of light slows time down for you relative to somebody not along for the trip. It’s the Planet of the Apes scenario (made a bit more clear in the Boulle book than in the Heston movie but eh).

(Article Source - Aviation Week Thanks to Nibiru for finding)
 For 16 years, Aviation Week & Space Technology has investigated myriad sightings of a two-stage-to-orbit system that could place a small military spaceplane in orbit.
Considerable evidence supports the existence of such a highly classified system, and top Pentagon officials have hinted that it’s "out there," but iron-clad confirmation that meets AW&ST standards has remained elusive.
Now facing the possibility that this innovative "Blackstar" system may have been shelved, we elected to share what we’ve learned about it with our readers, rather than let an intriguing technological breakthrough vanish into "black world" history, known to only a few insiders

On a hot summer day 15 years ago in Parma, Italy, a monkey sat in a special laboratory chair waiting for researchers to return from lunch. Thin wires had been implanted in the region of its brain involved in planning and carrying out movements.
Every time the monkey grasped and moved an object, some cells in that brain region would fire, and a monitor would register a sound: brrrrrip, brrrrrip, brrrrrip.
A graduate student entered the lab with an ice cream cone in his hand. The monkey stared at him. Then, something amazing happened: when the student raised the cone to his lips, the monitor sounded - brrrrrip, brrrrrip, brrrrrip - even though the monkey had not moved but had simply observed the student grasping the cone and moving it to his mouth.

You’ve probably heard of a molecule called DNA, otherwise known as "The Blueprint Of Life".
Molecular biologists have been examining and mapping the DNA for a few decades now. But as they’ve looked more closely at the DNA, they’ve been getting increasingly bothered by one inconvenient little fact - the fact that 97% of the DNA is junk, and it has no known use or function!
But, an usual collaboration between molecular biologists, cryptoanalysists (people who break secret codes), linguists (people who study languages) and physicists, has found strange hints of a hidden language in this so- called "junk DNA".

"We are at a point where experiments must guide us, we cannot make progress without them," explains Jim Virdee, a particle physicist at Imperial College London.
"We must wait for the data to speak."
Over a coffee in the lobby of building 40 at Cern, the sprawling experimental facility situated on the Swiss-French border, Professor Virdee says physics has reached a critical juncture.
In the 1970s, the theory known as the Standard Model was considered a triumph of theoretical physics, incorporating all that was then known about the interactions of sub-atomic particles.

In a breakthrough that brings the technology of futuristic film "The Matrix" closer to reality, scientists say they have cracked part of the brain’s own computer code.
A team of neurology experts from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) say they have deciphered brain waves used in the recognition of visual images.
The development, reported in the journal Science, is reminiscent of the cult sci-fi film in which Keanu Reeves "jacks" into a computer system using a cable hardwired to his brain.

This is a piece of Silica Aerogel, the same type that is used in the Mars Pathfinder Rover. This is 99.8 % AIR! Aerogel is super expensive to make, and very difficult to acquire.
Silica Aerogel’s are generally known for being an extremely lightweight transparent solid (down to <0.05 g/cm3 with excellent thermal insulating properties, high temperature stability, very low dielectric constant, and extremely high surface area).
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has been listed in the Guinness World Records for creating the world’s lightest solid.
Aerogel is also extremely expensive, costing approx. $200-$300 a cubic inch.
