"Many people are prophets in their own time. They are already projecting a way to suffer next week or the week after: Well, it rained this week; God knows what's going to happen next -- we're probably going to have a blizzard or a tornado. We'll be swept away!" --Loretta La Roche People complain so much about stress that it makes Loretta LaRoche... stressed out.

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E1B1A0E4CBE079FD Quantum physicist Dr. Amit Goswami talked about the science within consciousness, and how the paradigm is shifting from a materialistic world view into one that incorporates spirituality and the mystic traditions. He believes the existence of God is being revealed in the signature of quantum physics. Quantum physics says every object is a possibility, so there has to be a non-material entity that chooses the actual event from the process of these possibilities, he explained. In quantum physics, there is also the concept of non-locality, signal-less communication outside of space As you become a connoisseur of consciousness, you begin to see that we are more than just our material bodies. We have a vital body that we feel, and it is...the coupling of this vital energy with the physical organ-- that is what gives us vitality. When this coupling is weakened, that's when we fall sick, he continued. He foresees humankind evolving over the next centuries, integrating emotions and thought in a more balanced way. People will learn how to harness the energies of love, and access more of the intuitive mind, he said.

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=16D5DD2CFB67F662 Alternative historian Michael Tsarion discussed humankind's future and the ancient alien agenda, as carried out by unseen elite or controllers. Aliens or 'Nephilim' were scientists who lost their technology during a great war 13,000 years ago, and it is now being restored, he claimed. This new wave of technology, will follow in the footsteps of Silicon Valley and the computer revolution, yet be presented as a spiritual step forward to the masses, he cautioned. Mankind has been traumatized at various stages, and human consciousness was damaged, such as when the Nephilim tinkered with human genetics, Tsarion explained. This damage makes people more susceptible to being controlled, he noted. The elite plan to further dumb down humanity to the level of machines, so that their thinking is mechanical-- this creates the perfect slave, he continued. Tsarion also touched on his work with astro-theology, and astrological significances. We are seeing the down side of the Age of Aquarius or awakening, with Uranian energy emerging that upsets current structures, and causes people to feel insecure or uncertain as old paradigms pass away, he commented.

How do we create a world where war becomes unnecessary? Why are women and children-- innocent civilians--oftentimes the casualties of war? Can anybody ever really win a war? Why do we need an international criminal court? How can the world stand by and watch while genocides have occurred? What can we teach our children so they avoid waging war against "the other," and teach them to value peace? "I served for three years in the United States Army, in every battle from the Battle of the Bulge to the beaches of Normandy, and I tell you there will never be a war without crimes -- never -- because warfare itself is the biggest crime of all." --Benjamin Ferencz, renowned human rights advocate and former prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials Benjamin Ferencz is an impassioned, heart-filled advocate for human rights and global peace. Now in his 80s, Ferencz devotes all his time and energy to the daunting mission of changing our glorification of war to a reverence for peace. Meet one of the most inspiring leaders of today as he expounds on his experience of collecting evidence of at Nazi concentration camps, the governance of human behavior, the education of young Americans, and his tireless pursuit to establish an international criminal court at the United Nations.

"If everybody just sort of quieted themselves, everybody's going to admit that they have a still small voice that knows what's going on, you know. That little thing going, "David, is that really the best thing you should be doing right now? I think that's a dangerous path that you start walking down." I've got it. You know, I have that still small voice. And I think, you know, there's a part of us, all the different levels of who we are, and how we express, and how we seem to be on the planet involve all the things from the part of me that just wants to eat, drink, you know, procreate, whatever. And then there's another part of me that says, "Yes, and, you know, there's a much bigger game going on here that's much more elegant, that has a lot more of a sense of fulfillment when I sort of line up with what that's about. So I think a lot of our challenge is to understand, you know, follow that inner voice." --David Allenauthor of "Making It All Work" David Allen originated the highly-popular "Getting Things Done" system, aimed at helping people sort through the barrage of information coming at us in this age of "overwhelm".

"The spiritual but not religious, it's definitely a journey. Wanting to experiment, and to try on, and to see how this works in my life. And for others, the persons who are more comfortable in a religious congregation, religion has become a home. Something is -- they've found what works, or at least they sense that this works I like to use the word "heuristic", meaning I'm open to still discovering more truth. And that's very different than feeling like 'this book that I'm holding in my hand contains every truth that is important, or necessary, and it's a closed book.' And I think that is a huge difference." --Robert C. Fuller, Professor of religious studies, Bradley Universityauthor of "Spiritual but not Religious" An estimated one in five Americans is spiritually inclined, but chooses not to affiliate with a specific organized religion. How does this "unchurched" population compare with people who prefer the setting of organized religion? How do spiritual but not religious people explore their yearnings to understand questions of life, death and meaning? Dr. Fuller has long studied this population and discusses its worldview as well as that of some historical antecedents, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, the "transcendentalist" and Henry James, author of "Varieties of Religious Experience."

"The only way we're going to bring these transgressors to justice is to have some justice to bring them to. If we are to have a lasting peace in the world, we are going to have to have some system of international law and order.

You know, what is truly important, and how much is enough? And where am I going to put my time and energy? I'm seeing a lot of people making decisions, life changes, and they didn't want to. They weren't asking to be laid off. But now that they are...people are really reprioritizing.
