SHACK 190 IN THE MIDDLE

www.dremtime.com

The boat leaves the dock and as it travels further the scene changes and then there is just shoreline, this fades and one is in the vastness of the ocean.

Going up to the very top of the boat one looks around and there is only horizon and which ever way one looks there is only horizon.  If one had a three hundred and sixty degree vision one would be in the centre of a circle’

Looking up at a clear blue sky one would with a three hundred and sixty degree vision be in the centre of a vast dome.

So whichever way one looks one is the centre.  Indeed this is meditation experiencing the centre of oneself as consciousness. Indeed all experience is felt in consciousness, as one looks outward it is seen by you the ‘experiencer’.  When one turns ones gaze inwards to ‘look’ at the mind it is the same ‘experiencer’ it is the witness and observer of oneself.

Whilst witnessing the emptiness in the circle and Dome, actually all are one it is witnessing the ‘void’ the emptiness if thought is not present, but it is not void or desolate there is the presence of yourself, the witness and as you feel this emptiness it becomes alive, then leaving it without explanation or understanding, there arises a bliss, a joy, a simplicity and one knows intuitively that one has found oneself.

The boat travels on and the shoreline appears and then the dock and perhaps buildings and traffic with people.  This scene will perhaps change or go in time and on death cease to be.

This maybe home for a while.  Being the circle and dome is the space of Being and is forever and ever.

However the circle dome provides the space for the shoreline and city to arise, for all the Universe(s) arise in space and so the circle dome is the essence and the shoreline dock the creation.

“In a study testing whether the relationship between exercise and health is moderated by one’s mindset, 84 female room attendants working in seven different hotels were measured on physiological health variables affected by exercise. Those in the informed condition were told that the work they do (cleaning hotel rooms) is good exercise and satisfies the Surgeon General’s recommendations for an active lifestyle. Examples of how their work was exercise were provided. Subjects in the control group were not given this information. Although actual behavior did not change, 4 weeks after the intervention, the informed group perceived themselves to be getting significantly more exercise than before. As a result, compared with the control group, they showed a decrease in weight, blood pressure, body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, and body mass index. These results support the hypothesis that exercise affects health in part or in whole via the placebo effect.”

Many patients report symptomatic relief after undergoing arthroscopy of the knee for osteoarthritis, but it is unclear how the procedure achieves this result. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopy for osteoarthritis of the knee.

Full Text of Background...

METHODS

A total of 180 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee were randomly assigned to receive arthroscopic débridement, arthroscopic lavage, or placebo surgery. Patients in the placebo group received skin incisions and underwent a simulated débridement without insertion of the arthroscope. Patients and assessors of outcome were blinded to the treatment-group assignment. Outcomes were assessed at multiple points over a 24-month period with the use of five self-reported scores — three on scales for pain and two on scales for function — and one objective test of walking and stair climbing. A total of 165 patients completed the trial.

RESULTS

At no point did either of the intervention groups report less pain or better function than the placebo group. For example, mean (±SD) scores on the Knee-Specific Pain Scale (range, 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more severe pain) were similar in the placebo, lavage, and débridement groups: 48.9±21.9, 54.8±19.8, and 51.7±22.4, respectively, at one year (P=0.14 for the comparison between placebo and lavage; P=0.51 for the comparison between placebo and débridement) and 51.6±23.7, 53.7±23.7, and 51.4±23.2, respectively, at two years (P=0.64 and P=0.96, respectively). Furthermore, the 95 percent confidence intervals for the differences between the placebo group and the intervention groups exclude any clinically meaningful difference.

CONCLUSIONS

In this controlled trial involving patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, the outcomes after arthroscopic lavage or arthroscopic débridement were no better than those after a placebo procedure.

You may not be able to see the author--it is Albert Einstein

Years back there were two themes that went around some circles; the first was that when the first Westerners came to an Island near Borneo and anchored their large ship off the coast due to the rocky shore and used small boats to go in, the islanders were amazed and said 'how did they get here' apparently they had never seen a large boat and so they did not actually see it.  The Shaman did apparently.

The second; in the Kalahari Desert the bushmen had an imaginary border and anything outside it did not exist, when the first helicopter arrived and parked near the border, they only saw that bit that was over the border.

Another incident I came across was a blind boy who lived on a sheep farm in the UK, he was operated on by a surgeon who had determined he could restore the vision because it was possible with this boys condition. The boy used to carve sheep out of wood by touch of model sheep given him. 

When after a month in bandages around his eyes and face were removed, he cried because he could not see, the surgeon gave him a carving and said this is a sheep, the boy immediately saw the sheep and all else.

Another such incident was in the Khmer Rouge and the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia they used to carry out psychological and strange experiments. One was to have caves where youngsters were tied to the walls and only allowed by special lighting to see shadows, I have seen films of this and when soldiers liberated them they could not see them until they saw shadows which led them too them.  Its like looking at the space between leaves and other objects and that is the reality, I know of other experiments which did just that.

Then there is the so called 'Hundred Monkey or Critical Mass' regarding one monkey learned a new thing about washing potatoes in the sea and using a plastic cup to use as well from the scientists visiting this uninhabited remote place . When the tribe all copied the original monkey that was understandable.  However when the scientists went to another Island the same species immediately used a cup dropped by the scientists and washed the potatoes in the sea.

Rats were put into a maize and the reward was food at the end. This was done in the UK it took the UK rats three days to solve the maize, freshly built maize's in Japan and the USA with different but same species rats did it in one day. Children learning poems in a foreign language and repeating them often although not understanding them repeated the sounds until they could speak them fluently and yet still not knowing the translation, when this was done with other children in the same country, although not understanding what they were saying, the repeat time lessened and the more it was done the time became shorter.

This also happened in a experiment done in the Arthur Koestler Unit.

The Challenge of Chance: A Mass Experiment in Telepathy and Its Unexpected Outcome, a book on this subject; He set up a trust fund to establish, after his death, a Chair of Parapsychology at a British University. Edinburgh won this honor, and with it Koestler's own archive of most of his surviving manuscripts, correspondence and annotated books from his library.  The experiments were fascinating; in rooms in a long corridor apart there were comfortable seats and a computer screen in one and just a chair and goggles(in the early days a table tennis ball cut in two and painted pink) the first person selected an image on the screen and the second with goggles was asked to see what came into mind, by the end of two years they had a 85% success rate, then something really strange happened the goggles room anticipated the image before it was selected by the person at the computer and they selected the image of the goggles.  It reversed itself.  The participants were people asked from Princess Street in Edinburgh if the would like to take part in experiment just ordinary passers by. You might like to see Dr Dean Radin's work you can see the experiments on videos, they are not fake and those scientists who denounce him ignore the actual provable  facts and will not repeat them, why, because it will blow their local mind and not they are not big enough to encompass the unknown, a tribe member or Shaman.

Alfred Rupert Sheldrake (born 28 June 1942) is an English author,^[3] and researcher in the field of parapsychology,^[4]known for his "morphic resonance" concept.^[5] He worked as a biochemist and cell biologist at Cambridge University from 1967 to 1973^[3] and as principal plant physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics until 1978.^[6]

Sheldrake's morphic resonance hypothesis posits that "memory is inherent in nature"^[3][7] and that "natural systems, such as termite colonies, or pigeons, or orchid plants, or insulin molecules, inherit a collective memory from all previous things of their kind".^[7] Sheldrake proposes that it is also responsible for "telepathy-type interconnections between organisms".^[8] His advocacy of the idea encompasses paranormal subjects such as precognition, telepathy and the psychic staring effect^[9][10] as well as unconventional explanations of standard subjects in biology such as development, inheritance, and memory.^[11]

I was acquainted with Dr Sheldrake when I was a member of the Scientific and Medical Network, I feel a morphic resonance was set up at the Edinburgh University and those incidents above and below.

So is reality a conditioned reflex, is it a programmed, brain washed thing or can we put a real marker on this is real? It is tied in with with one's belief and cultural upbringing.  Was Tarzan of the Apes reality that his parents were Apes(books by Edgar Rice Burroughs)?

Perhaps if we questioned our own reality we might come to a startling conclusion---is my reality real or just based on my upbringing and Life experiences?

Strangely enough if this puts doubts in the mind then the quest to find out who one really is may lead to the fact that the only seemingly real reality is that emptiness and calm when the mind is at complete rest and there is nothing in mind.

Then the question how did the Shaman see the ship? Well they deal in dimensional shifts in the mind and not tethered to one reality of the tribal ethos, so the mind is not local and the non local mind embraces all and everything.

Also pygmies seeing a TV programme looked inside the box to see where the tiny people were. The first lighter and match they saw frightened them and they ran away. 

when we say there are no ET and life on other planets------well are you a tribal member or a Shaman?

SHACK 183 ONLY THOUGHT

You know that feeling when you have a disturbing dream and you cannot remember it or only part of it.  Well some thoughts can have a similar haunting residue.

I used to have a repeating voice at certain bodily sensations that said 'cancer' or a reoccurring fantasy about a family I deserted. I did have suspected cancer of the lungs and caught it in time and did natural remedies and healing, that was in 1999 and then followed with prostate suspect cancer and followed the same protocol as the lung one. 

The saboteur  voice is the voice of a very negative 'pocket' that runs through my family which my late mother and brother and now my nephew calls the Freed Curse.

I do not blame them for blame is denial and I do not blame myself although the cloud of fear sometimes 'bugs' me, especially when I am tired and stressed or if my energy levels are down due to chemtrails and a bad few days diet.  Since I have been on my 'fast' routine it has cleansed a lot of toxins from me and my senses are sharper than they have been for a long while, so if I take too much food or any additives and preservatives I get really 'off' and my body muscle and fascia memory with cellular memory click in and I am noticing that they rebel very easily if they do not get their 'fix' not to be taken for recreational drugs, I have never done them, I used to smoke cigars, roll up cigarettes and  a pipe some forty years back for about two years. So when I get knocked back by overeating as in the fast I tend to overeat when the first meal was due now I am eating even less and feel fine.  Its mainly psychological that I  have to eat more when the fast is over.

However, dealing with the cloud or fog that persists I find that meditation even when on the bus or train, washing up and so on, just letting the thoughts arise and the bodily symptoms that accompany no matter what horrors they bring 'you'll be back in hospital' 'You haven't the strength to go all through that again' ' You are not a victim of your family ethos, the world media writing about 'have you this and that symptom---it could be a sign of 'xxxx' 'Men are more reluctant to go for help---check with your GP before its too late' 'Prevention is better than cure that is if it can be cured'

So watching not letting the fear arise, be careful not to suppress, judge, analyze, push away or manipulate and you might find the mind slowly or suddenly clears and there is a softness and sometimes a joy and one realises 'oh its only a thought'.

A really persistent thought brings the worry and anxiety I am manifesting this by its constant bantering and mockery of me, is it real or is the ego just trying to regain its foothold on the slippery slope of its demise?

A test is the real you is not an anxious being and does not get disturbed-----so its up to me and you to do something about it and that mainly is nothing.
