  • The Truth About Cholesterol

     Cholesterol

     

    I am going to let you in on something shocking. Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease. I know this may be hard to believe after all we have heard about the dangers of high cholesterol from our doctors, and the media. But the truth is, it is not the cholesterol levels themselves or the cholesterol containing foods that are the culprits in heart disease, it is those foods and any other thing that causes inflammation in your body that is the major cause of heart disease (as well as diabetes and high blood pressure).

    What is cholesterol and why do we need it?

    Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found among the lipids (fats) in the bloodstream and in all your body’s cells. It’s an important part of a healthy body because it’s used to form cell membranes. Cholesterol also aids in the manufacture of bile (which helps digest fats), and is also important for the metabolism of fat soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E and K. It is the major precursor for the synthesis of vitamin D and of the various steroid hormones (which include cortisol and aldosterone in the adrenal glands, and the sex hormones progesterone, the various estrogens, testosterone, and derivatives ).

    How could something so good be so bad?

    Cholesterol has been wrongly accused because upon inspection of the arteries of someone at risk for a heart attack, levels of cholesterol and plaque build up are very high. Cholesterol is actually being transported to tissues as part of an inflammatory response that is there to repair damage. It will only lodge itself onto the artery and cause plaque if the artery has become damaged. Inflammation in the artery is what causes this damage. In fact, it is now known that the coronary disease that causes heart attacks is now considered to be caused mostly from chronic inflammation.

    To blame cholesterol for heart attacks would be the equivalent of blaming increased police security in a high crime area. It was not the police that caused the crime, they were just placed there in response to the crimes.

    A more important question to ask ourselves, is how do we decrease the amount of inflammation in our bodies so that cholesterol will not bind to our arteries?

    We must decrease all of those things that we do that cause inflammation and increase things that decrease inflammation. First and foremost we must stay away from foods that cause inflammation in our bodies. Any food that causes a fast rise in blood insulin levels will quickly cause inflammation in the body. These foods are sugar, white breads, most dairy products and almost all packaged and processed foods. What does this leave you with? Fresh, wholesome foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean animal proteins, nuts, and lots and lots of water. Also, taking in lots of omega-3 rich foods will dramatically decrease inflammation in the body (salmon, organic eggs, walnuts and sardines).

    What about your cholesterol medication?

    Some may be thinking, it is just easier to take a pill and not have to change what I am eating. But you may want to think twice considering the side effects of statins (cholesterol lowering drugs). The most common side effects reported are fatigued, headaches, nausea and the most common of them all, severe muscular pains and muscular degeneration. If you remember that cholesterol is essential for the formation of cell membranes, taking a drug that is drastically lowering cholesterol may be causing membrane damage in neural and muscle tissue. Most people on statins complain of neck, back or leg pain.

    Millions of Americans are now on cholesterol lowering drugs, but the number of people suffering from heart attacks and heart disease is only increasing. Let’s take a personal responsibility for our health and truly get to the root of the problem. Managing your diet and staying away from those foods that are causing an inflammatory response in your body is your first step to decreasing your chance of heart disease and heart attacks.

    The Truth About Cholesterol

  • A Very Interesting Conversation

    Please understand that I am not proselytising or pushing a particular religious or any other point of view. 

    I have a completely open mind regarding “faith” which I believe is not the preserve of any particular religion or creed, but a universal truth demonstrably active in our day to day lives in many different ways.

     Clearly informal usage of the word “faith” can be quite broad, such as  trust/belief/faith in – oneself or a loved one – gut feel/ intuition – a religion etc.

     Faith involves a concept of future events or outcomes not resting on logical proof or material evidence.

    Swami Tripurari states it well:

    Faith for good reason arises out of the mystery that underlies the very structure and nature of reality, a mystery that in its entirety will never be entirely demystified despite what those who have placed reason on their altar might like us to believe. The mystery of life that gives rise to faith as a supra-rational means of unlocking life’s mystery—one that reason does not hold the key to—suggests that faith is fundamentally rational in that it is a logical response to the mysterious.

    I have posted this, as it is indeed – A VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION

    An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has with the concept of God.

    The Professor asked one of his students to stand and asked—-

     
    Professor :      You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

    Student    :   Yes, sir.

    Professor :    So, you Believe in GOD ?
    Student    :   Absolutely, sir.
    Professor :        Is GOD Good ?
    Student    :        Sure.
    Professor :        Is GOD ALL – POWERFUL ?
    Student    :        Yes.
    Professor :        My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

    (Student was silent )

    Professor :   You can’t answer, can you ?  Let’s start again, Young  fella. Is GOD Good?
    Student    :   Yes.
    Professor :   Is Satan good ?
    Student    :       No.
    Professor :       Where does Satan come from ?
    Student    :       From . . . GOD . .. .
    Professor :       That’s right.  Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
    Student    :       Yes.
    Professor :    Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
    Student    :       Yes.
    Professor :       So who created evil ?

    (Student did not answer)

     Professor :   Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?    All these terrible things exist in the World, don’t they?
    Student    :  Yes, sir.
    Professor :       So, who Created them ? 

    (Student had no answer)

    Professor :  Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
    Student    :      No, sir.
    Professor   :      Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
    Student    :      No , sir.
    Professor :       Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
    Student    :   No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
    Professor :       Yet you still Believe in HIM?
    Student    :      Yes.
    Professor :       According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist.  What do you say to that, son?
    Student    :      Nothing.  I only have my Faith. 

    Professor :  Yes, Faith.  And that is the Problem Science has.

     Student    :   Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
    Professor :       Yes.
    Student    :       And is there such a thing as Cold?
    Professor :       Yes.
    Student   :       No, sir. There isn’t. (The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )
    Student    :       Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don’t have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy.  Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it. (There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )
    Student    :      What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
    Professor :      Yes. What is Night if there isn’t Darkness?
    Student    :      You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something. You can have Low Light,   Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn’t it? In reality, Darkness isn’t.
    If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn’t you?
    Professor :       So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
    Student   :       Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
    Professor :       Flawed ? Can you explain how?
    Student    :       Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.  You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.  Sir, Science can’t even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?
    Professor :       If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
    Student    :       Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?  (The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )
    Student    :       Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,  Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?      Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher? (The Class was in Uproar )
    Student    :      Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor’s Brain? (The Class broke out into Laughter )
    Student    :      Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor’s Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .  No one appears to have done so.  So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir? (The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)
    Professor :       I guess you’ll have to take them on Faith, son.
    Student    :      That is it sir . . .  Exactly ! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

  • Quest For The Philosopher’s Stone

    QUEST FOR THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE

    In the late 1970s an Arizona farmer named David Hudson noticed some very strange materials as he was doing some gold mining on his land.  Hudson spent several million dollars over the following decade figuring out how to obtain and work with these strange materials.

    In 1989 David Hudson was granted patents on these materials and methods for obtaining them.  Two of these patents can be found on the World Wide Web at:

    During the early 1990s Hudson toured the United States giving lectures and workshops about what he had found.  Transcripts of portions of three of David Hudson’s lectures are available on the Web. The most complete of these transcripts is the transcript of his Dallas lecture and workshop.  You can find this transcript on the Web at:

    The two other Hudson transcripts can be found at:

    DID HUDSON FIND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE?

    Since ancient Egyptian times, alchemists have worked in secret to produce something called the Philosopher’s Stone, or the Elixir of Life.  The materials that Hudson and other researchers have found are believed to be related to the Philosopher’s Stone.  The materials have been called ORMEs, monoatomic gold, white gold, white powder gold, ORMUS, m-state, AuM, microclusters, and manna.

    David Hudson calls the materials he found Orbitally Rearranged Monoatomic Elements or ORMEs.  He also refers to them as monoatomic elements in a high-spin state.

    Since Hudson has patented his process for obtaining and identifying these elements, we would like to suggest that the terms ORMUS and m-state be used when referring to this state of matter.

    The ORMUS or m-state materials are thought to be the precious metal elements in a different atomic state.  The following elements have been identified in this different state of matter (these elements, with the exception of mercury, are listed in Hudson’s patents):
     

    KNOWN ORMUS ELEMENTS
    Element Atomic Number
    Cobalt  27
    Nickel  28
    Copper  29
    Ruthenium  44
    Rhodium  45
    Palladium  46
    Silver  47
    Osmium  76
    Iridium  77
    Platinum  78
    Gold  79
    Mercury  80

     

    All of these m-state elements are abundant in sea water.  According to David Hudson’s discoveries, these elements in their m-state may be as much as 10,000 times more abundant than their metallic counterparts.  There also may be other elements which occur naturally in the m-state.

    Various researchers, working independently, have identified these materials in this different state of matter.  They have arrived at many of the same observations.

    These m-state elements have been observed to exhibit superconductivity, superfluidity, Josephson tunneling and magnetic levitation.  It looks like these are an entirely new class of materials.

    These m-state elements are also present in many biological systems. They may enhance energy flow in the microtubules inside every living cell.

    It appears that this state of certain of these elements has been known throughout history.  Several of the procedures for extracting or making ORMUS have been adapted from ancient alchemical texts.  We believe that the Philosopher’s Stone and the Biblical manna are both variations on this state of matter.

    Some recommended alchemical texts related to the Philosopher’s Stone are “Sacred Science” by R.A. Schwaller De Lubicz and “Le Mystere des Cathedrales” by Fulcanelli, available from Amazon.com. Another source is “Occult Chemistry” by Leadbeater and Besant. The premier treatise on the subject may be “The Secret Book” by Artephius which is available at these Web sites:

    There may be several paths to the Philosopher’s Stone.  There may even be several different Stones.  More research on the nature of m-state is needed.  Since the ORMUS materials are much more prevalent in nature than their metallic counterparts, they can be extracted with some time, effort, and understanding.  We invite others to join in the quest for knowledge of these materials.

    THEORIES FROM PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY ABOUT THE M-STATE ELEMENTS

    The following information is presented to promote scientific research into the nature of these materials. Although these theories are based on our best knowledge at this time, further scientific research may prove some of these theories to be inaccurate.  Remember that the following are just theories.

    A monoatomic element has one atom per molecule; a diatomic element has two atoms per molecule. Certain elements in a monatomic or diatomic configuration can form a stable structure where all of their electrons are Cooper paired, and so are not available as valence electrons (more on this later).  Elements in this configuration are superconductors at room temperature and exhibit other quantum physical behaviors at a visible scale.  Some of these quantum physical behaviors include:

    • Anomalous responses to gravity
    • Superfluidity
    • “Tunneling” through solid objects
    • Deformed nuclei in a high-spin state

    One term for these materials is microclusters.  Microclusters have been described as follows on a microcluster forum:

      “A microcluster is a small chemically inert cluster of atoms that has definite crystalline structure. They can be synthetic, however for this work an assumption is that the natural microclusters are forms comparable to the man-made microcluster. Microcluster research started with natural occurrences. Clusters exist as molecular species which can substitute and mimic various elements for one another. Microclusters can be as large as 200 or more atoms. Certain atomic examples for each atom are rare; the rarity is due to current physical chemistry concepts. Research has demonstrated that natural micro-clusters are superconductors; they are Cheshire in that they can disappear and avoid chemical detection by conventional means. Most, if not all, have catalytic properties; they are magnetic or can be induced to have electromagnetic properties; and they can form giant inert ions which I call Mega-ions.”

    ORMUS AND BECs

    Physicists have recently created a new state of matter (which we believe is related to ORMUS) in the laboratory. This state of matter is called a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) after Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein who postulated the existence of this state of matter in the 1920s. Their theory was not “proven” until BECs were created in the laboratory in 1995 by Eric Cornell and Carl Wieman in Boulder, Colorado. They did it by cooling atoms to a much lower temperature than had been previously achieved. This temperature was a millionth of a degree above absolute zero.

    Absolute zero is the temperature at which all atomic movement ceases. When atoms are cooled near absolute zero, they move much more slowly than when they are at normal temperatures. David Hudson postulates that his ORME atoms have a natural internal temperature which is very close to absolute zero. This may be why they can be Bose-Einstein condensates at room temperature and higher.

    A Bose-Einstein Condensate is a group of atoms which are all in the same quantum state. Such a group of atoms consequently behaves, in some ways, as a single atom. Superconductors are a form of BECs and so are superfluids.

    You can read a simple description of what BECs are and how they work on the BEC homepage.

    Here is an explanation of how BECs, superconductors and Cooper pairing inter-relate from the American Institute of Physics web page titled BECs, superconductors, and Cooper pairing:

      “A superfluid is a liquid that flows without viscosity or inner friction. For a liquid to become superfluid, the atoms or molecules making up the liquid must be cooled or “condensed” to the point at which they all occupy the same quantum state. A liquid of helium-3, an atom whose nucleus is made up of an odd number of particles, is a type of particle known as a fermion. Groups of fermions are not allowed to occupy the same quantum state.””By cooling the liquid to a low enough temperature, helium-3 atoms can pair up. The number of particles in each nucleus adds up to an even number, making it a type of particle known as a boson. Groups of bosons can fall into the same quantum state, and therefore superfluidity can be achieved. Helium-4 (middle panel), a boson, does not need to pair up to form a superfluid; groups of helium-4 atoms condense into the superfluid state at about 2 degrees above absolute zero. Superfluidity, especially the kind that exists in helium-3, is analogous to conventional low-temperature superconductivity, in which electrons flow through certain metals and alloys without resistance. In a superconductor (right panel), electrons, which are fermions, pair up in the metal crystal to form “Cooper pairs,” bosons which can then condense into a superconducting state.”

    THE DIATOMIC NATURE OF SOME M-STATE MATERIALS

    The following elements, which are known to have an m-state, have an odd number of electrons and protons:

    Cobalt
Copper
Rhodium
Silver
Iridium
Gold

    In order for these atoms to be superconductors in the m-state, they must be at least diatoms.

    The m-state of gold and other precious elements is different from the metallic state of these same elements. For example ingesting m-state gold has different effects on the body than the effects of ingesting metallic gold. What makes the ORMUS state atoms different is that they will not form metal-metal bonds with their own kind.

    They won’t form metal-metal bonds because their valence electrons are not available to form normal molecular bonds. This is because each electron is paired up with another electron in a Cooper paired state. When electrons are Cooper paired, they cease to behave as particles and begin to behave more like light.

    Since you must have an even number of electrons in order for every electron to pair up with another electron, you cannot have the m-state of any element which has an odd number of electrons without having at least two of these atoms paired up.

    For example, iridium has an atomic number of 77. This means that iridium has 77 electrons. 76 of these electrons could pair up but that would still leave one electron available for bonding with another atom in a compound. But if you had two atoms of iridium with mingled nuclei and electron clouds you would have 154 electrons. Since 154 is an even number, all of these electrons can pair up into 77 Cooper pairs. Nucleons also pair up in the same way to form superconductors.

    All known superconductors involve this kind of Cooper pairing.

    Please realize that as a Bose-Einstein condensate, both atoms in the diatom will behave as one atom. They also resonance couple with other diatoms of the same element which are nearby. This resonance-coupled quantum oscillation is another of the definitions of superconductivity.

    As you use chemistry to move a metal toward the ORMUS/BEC state, the chemical reactions necessary to do this moving become weaker and weaker since fewer and fewer of the valence electrons are available to participate in the chemical reactions. Eventually there are no electron handles that can be used to manipulate these materials. Fortunately these materials have other properties which can be used to manipulate them.

    Since they are superconductors, they can be manipulated by magnetic fields. For example, if you shield them from magnetic fields during boiling processes, you will be able to conserve more of them in your liquid since they will not be impelled to tunnel out of your container or go off as a gas.

    They can also be manipulated by providing them with a comfy “box” to hide out in. The ORMUS/BECs seem to “like” tight spaces. Ring molecules such as the tri-sodium ring or the diozone ring can provide a chemical “box” with handles. Salt and sodium, in particular, seem to stabilize the ORMUS materials, theoretically by forming a triangular structure or box around the precious element atom. Though you cannot get a chemical handle on the fully Cooper paired ORMUS atoms, you can entice them into a chemical box with handles and then manipulate the box using fairly standard physical and chemical methods.

    So, although these elements are the same as the “heavy metal” elements, they are not in a metallic state and as long as the m-state of these elements is present in sufficient amounts, the metallic portion seems to “borrow” the properties of the m-state.

    BECs are also known to have the ability to “tunnel” across impenetrable barriers. Professor Brian D. Josephson of the Theory of Condensed Matter Group of the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge (i.e. the Physics Department of the University of Cambridge) received the Nobel Prize in physics for his discovery of the tunneling phenomenon. Dr. Josephson is currently working on something called the Mind-Matter Unification Project.

    ORMUS AND MICROTUBULES

    Other physicists are also working on theories which unite mind and matter.

    One fairly recent discovery in biology and physics is that a certain small structure in every cell, called the microtubule, exhibits superconductive and tunneling behaviors at body temperature.

    You can read more about the quantum properties of microtubules from links on Rhett Savage’s Quantum Brain web page.

    And on several of Matti Pitkanen’s web pages:

    One of the problems with modern quantum physical theories is that there is no way to logically connect the Bose-Einstein condensates, which have been demonstrated to exist in small groups of atoms at a millionth of a degree above absolute zero, with the BEC like behavior of microtubules at body temperature in  living cells. ORMUS materials would make this connection.

    Several of the modern theories relating to microtubules were proposed by Roger Penrose (a physicist) and Stuart Hameroff (an anesthesiologist).

    Here we will quote from an anonymous scientist who has explained Penrose and Hameroff’s theory quite elegantly:

      “Penrose has been seeking a better way to explain the fantastic computational power of the brain and Hameroff has been seeking the source of consciousness. The two heard of each other and got together to find that they both sought a common structure, the microtubule.”Penrose sought a structure in the brain that had nanometer dimensions because such a structure would be necessary to support quantum effects. Hameroff sought the structure responsible for consciousness. They agreed that the microtubules would provide for both.”Mictotubules are tiny tubular structures within neurons that are made from two forms of tubulin. The two forms can be switched by tiny electric currents, so Penrose has proposed that the tubulin units may be the on/off switches for the brain’s data processing. I agree with this proposal because it allows us to be what we are by increasing our potential processing rate from from an unacceptable 10 Exp11 operations per second (OPS) to a reasonably acceptable 10 Exp24 OPS. Penrose explains all this quite well and I recommend him to all who would like to have a deeper understanding of our minds.”Hameroff has done a lot of research into how consciousness works and he has concluded that the microtubules are the source of our consciousness. This is discussed in and supported by Penrose’s work. Hameroff has concluded that the observable quantum effects that occur in human brains are caused by highly aligned water that is inside the microtubules. Penrose agrees with this concept and further argues that Bose- Einstein Condensations (BECs) in the neurons are how we reach decisions. The BECs are possible because the water inside the microtubules can be strongly aligned to form a high-temperature superconductive medium.”This concept supports my thinking very well. BECs provide an explanation for all the effects I refer to as psionics. These effects include: telepathy, remote viewing, bilocation, telekinesis, and astral travel. A BEC in the Broca area of the brain would allow thoughts to exist inside the brain and outside the head at the same time. This can explain both telepathy and how it is controlled. Likewise, a BEC in the visual processing areas would explain remote viewing. Since microtubules exist in all neurons and neurons extend into all parts of the body, a BEC including all neurons would allow the body to exist in two (or more) places at the same time, thus explaining bilocation.”With this discovery, all psionics can be explained in modern physical terms. This opens the whole field of psionics to persons like myself who have had so much technical training that it is impossible to accept psionics. This discovery means that all the formal training I’ve had in Chemistry, Math, and Physics still applies and can even help explain psionics. For me, it is good to know that all these topics can exist peacefully together.”

    For more information on “psychic” observations of these materials see:

    In a paper titled “Orchestrated reduction of quantum coherence in brain microtubules: A model for consciousness” (Hameroff/Penrose site at U. of Arizona), Hameroff and Penrose write:

      “A critical number of tubulins maintaining coherence within [microtubules] for 500 msec collapses its own wave function (objective reduction: OR). This occurs because the mass-energy difference among the superpositioned states of coherent tubulins critically perturbs space-time geometry. To prevent multiple universes, the system must reduce to a single space-time by choosing eigenstates.”

    Hameroff and Penrose are saying that in order to avoid “seeing” multiple universes at the same time, the quantum coherence created in microtubules by some material (we think the m-state materials) must collapse. What if the quantum coherence did not collapse and we became aware of multiple universes?

    Many modern physicists believe that there are an infinite number of parallel universes. They theorize that atoms are made up of smaller particles which are like bubbles in the quantum foam. These bubbles in the quantum foam or “holes in the aether” spend a fraction of their existence in each of these parallel universes. There is quite a debate as to whether information is transferred between these parallel universes. You can read a bit about this debate at:

    This concept of multiple or parallel universes has been a recurring theme in science fiction for at least 60 years.  It is also one of the key concepts of modern mystical thought.  It first appeared as a mystical concept in The ‘Unknown’ Reality by Jane Roberts which was dictated by Seth in 1974-75.

    SOME TESTS FOR M-STATE

    M-state material, in a wet precipitate form, will dissolve in HCl. M-state material, in a dry powder form, will not dissolve in HCl or aqua regia.

    Because m-state is a superconductor, rotating a magnet under some of the dry powder m-state elements will cause the powder to fly away from the magnet.

  • Superconductivity

    Superconductivity

    Superconductivity is infinitely more than a physics phenomena of the first order. It may be one of the fundamental linking mechanisms in an unlimited and connected universe. The physics is referenced, for example, in the Scientific References, but for those looking for a quick and dirty explanation, the following will provide an inkling of the immensity of the subject. Just keep in mind that any U. S. patent application which includes anywhere in its text the word “superconductivity” is automatically sent to the Department of Defense for review. That should be convincing evidence that this subject is worth investigating.

    Most, but not all, conductors of electrical current, when cooled sufficiently in the direction of absolute zero (0 oK, -273.15 oC), become superconductors. The superconducting state itself is one in which there is zero electrical resistance and perfect diamagnetism. [1] This means that current flowing through a superconducting circuit does not experience i2R heating (current squared times the resistance), and the current can flow indefinitely. Also, diamagnetism is the property of a substance to become magnetized in a direction at right angles to an applied magnetic field (Michael Faraday discovered the effect in 1846 that when such substances were brought near the pole of a strong magnet, they were repelled). The diamagnetism of the superconducting state is extraordinary in that it expels from its interior any external magnetic field(s) — up to a limiting critical magnetic field strength.

    The last factor is even more incredible when one realizes that when a conductor undergoes the transition to the superconducting state, the superconductor expels a pre-existing field — a phenomenon known as the Meisner Effect. (The superconductor’s magnetic field is also called a Meisner Field, and is thus distinguished from the nature of other magnetic fields.) External magnetic fields do penetrate the superconducting Meisner Field to some degree, the penetration depth being temperature dependent (minimum penetration at 0 oK, and infinite at Tc, defined as the Critical Temperature for the superconductor in question).

    Inasmuch as it takes energy to expel a magnetic field from a superconductor, a magnet can under the right circumstances float freely above a superconductor at the point where the upward force generated by the field-expulsion energy balances the downward gravitational force. This dramatic phenomenon of magnetic Levitation becomes even more fascinating when one recognizes the Earth is effectively a magnet, and that a superconductor (being of somewhat less mass) could thus reverse the roles and float freely above the Earth.

    The currently reigning theory with respect to superconductivity is known as the BCS theory (named after John Bardeen, Leon N. Cooper, and J. Robert Schrieffer). The BCS theory describes a pairing of conduction electrons by some interelectron attraction and a condensation of these pairs, “Cooper pairs”, to form a macroscopic quantum state. The superconductor’s electrical resistance is zero because the Cooper pair condensate moves as a coherent quantum mechanical entity, which atomic lattice vibrations and impurities cannot disrupt by scattering individual Cooper pairs in the same manner they scatter single conduction electrons — the latter being the reason electrical circuits have resistance.

    The critical elements in reaching the superconducting state are for conduction electrons to somehow form Cooper pairs, which then in turn automatically condense into a coherent flow, the “coherent” aspect being similar to that of a laser, i.e. everybody in step!

    How the Cooper pairs are formed is obviously a critical factor in superconductivity. One theory is an electron passing by the crystal lattice of atoms in the conductor distorts the lattice in such a way the next electron is attracted to the lattice distortion. Or instead of the electron-pairing being mediated by lattice vibrations, the interaction of the conduction electrons may be due to charge or electron spin fluctuations in some electronic subsystem.

    Note the emphasis on spin and fluctuations. From the discussions on Casimir Effect and Spin, we derive the concept of an electron consisting of an infinitely conducting shell, one with a minute magnetic field [i.e. a superconductor with Meisner Field]. Spin adds the critical ingredient of maintenance of the magnetic/Meisner field, while fluctuations (at the level of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle) connect via Hyperdimensional Physics all of the electrons in the superconducting state. But it gets better.

    Two superconductors separated by a very narrow insulating barrier form what is known as a Josephson Junction. The Josephson mechanism is a general phenomena and applies beyond the special case of superconductors. There is, for example, a correlation among oscillating electric dipoles, the microscopic components of living systems. In effect, a pair of neighboring biological cells could represent the same model, as in superconductivity.

    Researchers have in fact found evidence of Josephson-like phenomena occurring in living systems. Other effects suggested a Meisner effect — and importantly, something which disappeared all together in a solution which was completely sterile biologically. This has led to the conjecture that room temperature superconductive effects exist in association with living cells. Further, the realization of nearby cells acting as a Josephson junction, yielded the conclusion that intracellular coherence would, through the Josephson effect, give rise to an intercellular coherence. Back to the laser; every cell in step!

    An important aspect is that the oscillations of electric dipoles in living systems are able to produce coherent electromagnetic fields whose phase is locked to the phase of the matter field. An external electromagnetic field can become phase correlated only if its energy does not disrupt the coherence. Very strong electromagnetic fields can actually disrupt this correlation, or coherent structure, in a biological system. An external electromagnetic field can interfere with the fundamental processes of cell division, and conversely the cellular process can induce electromagnetic phenomena. [2]

    And it’s all about superconductivity!

    The implications are staggering, particularly in Consciousness research, where by some unknown means, human consciousnesses are interacting and influencing each other. Some of these interactions are effectively coherent interactions such as in a group meditating or praying with the same goal. The really fundamental question is the degree and manner in which the phenomenon of superconductivity is playing a role in consciousness.

    Other research has shown that strong emotions can alter our DNA! No kidding. Thus we are faced with our emotions modifying our DNA, which in turn (along with our conscious mental effort and/or focus), influences the external world. And because such effects — at least according to the implications of The Fifth Element, Zero-Point Energy, and similar research… because such effects are not limited by distance of linear time, we might want to rethink our even thinking (or getting emotional about) making anyone else emotionally upset. Think of everyone else having PMS and a 45 caliber pistol. The only saving grace is that apparently the real power of emotions and/or mental focus are limited by the degree to which an emotional/mental consciousness can tap into the superconducting state.

    In this regard, it is worth noting the research of David Radius Hudson. In one of his lectures (this one in 1995, in Dallas, Texas), he paints a coherent picture of a new reality. Excerpts from this lecture are included below:

    *******************************************************************

    “Superconductivity is not electricity. Superconductivity is like a world of it’s own. A material that is a superconductor contains one vibrational frequency within it, a lot like a laser. The light flows perpetually within the system. No where in the system is there any voltage. You can’t hook up a wire here and a wire there to the superconductor and get current to flow in and out of it, because to get current off of the wire, you’ve got to have a voltage, and yet by definition a superconductor won’t allow any voltage. So the material’s a perfect insulator, not just a superconductor. But if you resonant frequency tune the wire so that the electrons vibrate at the same frequency as the superconductor, then the electrons will flow on as light, as electron pairs. They will pair up and flow on, because they’re seeking the path of least resistance which is the superconductor.”

    “It’s different than an ordinary conductor and shouldn’t be thought of as electricity, because it’s light. An amazing thing is, if you resonant frequency tune a conductor to the frequency of the superconductor, the energy starts flowing, but it’s flowing as light. Any amount of light can exist in the same space-time. There’s only so much electricity can flow on the conductor, but light can flow on forever.”

    “Around the superconductor a Meisner field is formed. The Meisner field has no north or south pole; it’s just a field, but it’s unique in magnetism in that it has no north or south pole. The size of the magnetic field is proportional to the amount of light that is flowing within the superconductor.”

    “In the Ark of the Covenant was a pot of the Manna, and the stone through which God spoke to Moses. When Moses was up on Mount Sinai, he was smelting the Manna to the gold glass. Why do I say that? When you understand that in Old Kingdom Egypt these [hairy things over the eyes] were called bushes not eyelashes. These were bushes; check you’re Egyptian literature. The burning bush was the enlightened Third Eye.”

    “So, Moses on Mount Sinai, when he looked upon the burning bush… That was just a mistranslation. It was the third eye opening and God communicated to him through this stone. God didn’t write on the stone. If he wrote on the stone, why would he put it in a box, seal it up and then let no one look at it? If God wrote on it, He would put it up on the wall where everybody could read it. When you realize that in Old Kingdom Egypt, on the holiest day in Old Kingdom of Egypt — in the Sign of the Seal [by Graham Hancock] you read this — they carried around an Ark on two poles, and in the Ark was a stone. Coincidentally what was in the Ark of the Covenant? A stone. The pot of Manna and the stone. The gold glass.”

    “Around the Ark of the Covenant was the Meisner field. The strange thing about the Meisner field is that other Meisner fields that oscillate at the same frequency, can enter that field and not perturb it. So if you are a high priest, a Melchizedek priest, and you eat this Bread of the Presence of God every week, you are a light being, and you can enter into that field and approach the Ark of the Covenant and not perturb it because you’re in resonance with it. But if you’re an ordinary soldier or a person who thinks bad things, they have to tie a rope around your legs because as you approach it, it may have a flux collapse. Now if you can imagine several hundred thousand amps, and now you have voltage, it’s like a bolt of lightning. It literally is energy of an unbelievable magnitude.”

    “As long as there is no voltage, you could touch it, you could feel it, it’s hundreds of thousands of amps, but no tickle, no tingle, because there’s no voltage. As long as you’re in resonance with it, you can approach it, you can touch it, you can hold it, you can feel it; Nothing! But if you’re not in resonance with it, and enter the field, and perturb the resonance, and there’s a flux collapse, and now you’ve got voltage… It’ll kill you.”

    “Remember in the Bible that the Ark of the Covenant actually levitated and floated along, and actually carried some of the people who were carrying it. The only thing to do that’s a superconductor.”

    ********************************************************************

    At this point, it should have become readily obvious that Superconductivity is no passing fad (as in encouraging electrons to go with the flow — in pairs and/or at the same time to lighten up). Siriusly, superconductivity, instead of being a phenomenon of great interest to scientists, is fundamental to life, to Consciousness, to the very ascent of our species into the realms of Kether, the Crown of the Tree of Life. It is apparently the basis for the ORME, Star Fire, and the White Powder of Gold. The fact that it explains the structure of the electron and its properties, clarifies different aspects of the Casimir Effect, The Fifth Element, Zero-Point Energy, and Hyperdimensional Physics, and provides the connection link of Mach’s Principle, the EPR Experiment, and the universe… Well, that’s just the icing on the cake! (But really tasty icing!)

    For true aficionados <http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/solids> is an excellent, nicely presented (albeit brief) guide into the superconducting world — what might be called light reading (pardon the pun) . Note in particular the material on the Meisner Effect.

    Adding a bit more mathematics, another website — one basically designed for high school teachers — is <http://www.physnet.uni-hamburg.de/home/vms/reimer/htc/pt3.html>. . In his introduction, Dull writes, “The theoretical understanding of superconductivity is extremely complicated and involved. It is far beyond the scope of this video booklet to attempt to discuss the quantum mechanics of superconductors. However, in this section fundamental terms and phenomena of superconductors will be discussed.”

    And finally, following below is some additional, slightly more technical detail on the truly fascinating subject.

    Superconductivity in a bit more technical detail

    Electrons can move freely through a regular crystalline lattice. The resistance to their flow comes from imperfections in the crystalline lattice, and above absolute zero lattice vibrations are dependent upon temperature (i.e. increasing with temperature). The vibration of the ions can be pictured as waves or particles (the latter which are called phonons). “As a current flows through a metal, the electrons that make up the current frequently collide with the phonons, and this is the origin of most of the material’s resistance.” [1]

    If electrons are miniature superconductors with Meisner fields, perhaps it is the lattice vibrations that generate magnetic fields which disrupt the Meisner fields, or just the connection between different Meisner fields of each electron. Impurities might help in some cases in disrupting the lattice vibration’s magnetic field — and in other cases hinder. The fact that electrons in high temperature superconductors travel easily along certain planes may be the result of the lattice vibration’s magnetic field — i.e. the non-isotropic vibrations of the ions.

    The temperature at which superconducting shows up with decreasing temperatures is the critical temperature. In mercury, electrical resistance falls by a factor of 1010 at the onset of superconductivity. The noble metals (copper, gold, silver, etc) “never become superconducting.” [This may be due to a lack of impurities. David Radius Hudson’s work with monoatomic gold, on the other hand, may actually constitute nuclear superconductivity.] There is also a critical current density, where too much current means the material loses its superconductivity. The superconducting state can also be destroyed by an external magnetic field (the critical magnetic field being dependent upon the temperature).

    A material that responds to a magnetic field by producing an opposing magnetic field is described as diamagnetic. “Superconductors produce a magnetic field that exactly cancels out the external field. The effect is known as perfect diamagnetism.”

    A Josephson junction is two lengths of superconducting wire joined by a thin layer of an insulating material. Currents flow through it, but if the current exceeds a critical value, the junction switches to a high-resistance state and the current is switched off. This electronic switch can act within a picosecond — 10-12 seconds). This is what allows a SQUID to be used as an extremely sensitive device for measuring magnetic fields.

    The interaction of an electron with the positively charged ions in the crystalline lattice causes a “disturbance”, which affects a second electron as it passes by. In certain situations (whatever that means!) the electrons experience an attractive force between them which is stronger than the normal Coulomb repulsion — and the two electrons form a Cooper pair. “In the superconducting state, the disturbance caused when an electron passes through the lattice results in the production of a phonon. This phonon interacts with a second electron, so that it forms a Cooper pair with the first electron.”

    [This also may be a virtual phenomena — where the interaction time (perhaps The Fifth Element Time Delay) — is such that the electrons pair before the Coulomb repulsion has an opportunity to respond in pushing the second electron away.] It is believed that the two electrons do not have to be close to one another (and may be several hundred atoms apart — far enough for the Coulomb repulsion between them to be extremely weak). [A factor which emphasizes the Action at a Distance aspect!] Supposedly, “at Tc the Cooper pairs break up faster than they form and the material is no longer superconducting.” [1]

    When unlike charges attract — is there a momentary nulling of the charges?

    “In conventional superconductors [2] the attractive binding force [caused by the electron-phonon interaction] between the electrons is produced by rapid interchange of virtual phonons, a process called phonon mediated attraction.” “Electrons of opposite spin and momentum form isotropic or ‘s-wave’ pairs… having no net spin and zero angular momentum (quantum number l = 0). Although quantum mechanical behavior is usually thought of as being restricted to the microscopic scale of an atom or molecule, superconductivity operates at a macroscopic quantum level; pairs condense into a single large-scale quantum state, which has long-range order and can be described as if it was a giant molecule with a single wavefunction.” For high temperature superconductors, some experiments favor anisotropic d-wave symmetry with an angular momentum quantum number l = 2. But it may be that a model which takes into account both s- and d-wave features may provide a better, more natural explanation. “In the superconducting state of Bi2223 (Tc = 110 oK) and Bi2212 (Tc = 85 oK), the reduced energy gaps have been measured as 2D(0)/kTc » 6.5 and 6.1 respectively.”

    “Electrical resistance is zero because the Cooper pair condensate moves as a coherent quantum mechanical entity, which lattice vibrations and impurities cannot disrupt by scattering individual Cooper pairs in the same way they scatter single electrons in a conductor.” [3] [How does the coherent quantum mechanical entity avoid disruptions by the lattice vibration and impurities?] The BCS Theory (Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer) is based on the original Cooper pairing (of one electron creating a disturbance and the other being attracted to it). However, the BCS theory may need to be modified to account for the new high-temperature superconductors. “The most likely modification is an unconventional electron-pairing mechanism mediated not by lattice vibrations but by interaction of the conduction electrons with charge or electron spin (magnetic) fluctuations in some electronic subsystem.” [emphasis added] [3] [These “spin (magnetic) fluctuations” could be virtual or due to extreme deaccelerations! The some electronic subsystem may constitute the very nature of the electron — see Casimir Effect and Spin.]

    “In the M3C60 superconductors, the three electrons donated to each C60 from the alkali metal atoms go into the triply degenerate lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of C60. These compounds are three-dimensional superconductors.” [3]

    “The spin state of a Cooper pair can be either singlet (anti-parallel spins) or triplet (parallel spins). The orbital state can be a spherically symmetric s pair (s wave), analogous to an atomic s orbital, or it can be a p or d pair (p or d waves), analogous to atomic p and d orbitals. The Pauli exclusion principle restricts spin-singlet pairs to s or d orbital states and the spin-triplet state to a p orbital state. The energy gap is the energy required to break up a Cooper pair in the superconductor. It rises with decreasing temperature from zero at Tc to a maximum at 0 K.” [3]

    “When a material is in its superconducting state, it excludes from its interior an applied magnetic field up to a critical magnetic field strength. A superconductor also expels a pre-existing field when it undergoes transition to the superconducting state, a phenomena known as the Meisner effect. The magnetic field penetration depth is the distance an applied magnetic field can penetrate a superconductor. The penetration depth is temperature dependent: infinite at Tc and at its minimum at 0 K.” [3]

    “The distance over which the quantum state maintains its phase coherence in a superconductor is typically much greater than atomic dimensions. This coherence length can vary along different crystal axes.” “In metallic superconductors, coherence lengths can be thousands of angstroms. In high-Tc superconductors they are smaller (10s of angstroms).” [3]

    The Fermi energy is the energy of an electron in the highest occupied orbital in a solid. “Pictorially, both Cooper pairing and superconductivity take place in the ‘foam’ produced by electron-phonon interactions on the surface of the ‘Fermi sea’ of occupied states.” In the electron-phonon interactions, the process is “nonenergy conserving (virtual process), and its ‘borrowed’ energy must be returned within the time interval specified by the Heisenberg uncertainty relation between time and energy.” [emphasis added] [3] [This nonenergy conserving (virtual process) is thus apparently the connecting link in Mach’s Principle, Hyperdimensional Physics, Zero-Point Energy, The Fifth Element, and in Connective Physics in general.]

    “The stabilization energy from all the pair interactions goes into one energy state, the Cooper-pair state, which is a composite of all the interacting pair states.” [Machian combinations] “In the simplest version of BCS theory, applicable to weakly coupled superconductors, Tc depends linearly on the excitation energy of the system that mediates the electron pairing (here, the lattice vibration Ev) and exponentially on the superconducting coupling strength, which is the product of the pairing interaction (V) and the density of electronic states at the Fermi surface [D(EF)]: Tc = 1.14(Ev/kb) exp [-1/VD(EF)], where kb is the Boltzman constant. In a weakly coupled superconductor,” VD(EF) £ 0.5. In some superconductors it appears that the charge carriers are scattered not by lattice vibrations, but by interactions with the charge and/or magnetic fluctuations of some “unusual electronic system with a broad spectrum to excitations that extends down to very low frequencies. One possibility is fluctuations in the spin quantization axis (the axis along which the spins are aligned) of an antiferromagnetic spin system.” [3]

    “Because a superconductor is a macroscopic quantum state, its wave function must be unchanged for any closed path within the superconductor. That is, the quantum mechanical phase change around this path must be an integral multiple of 2p (Df=2pn). This same restriction, when applied to orbital angular momentum, is what specifies the allowed electronic orbitals in the Bohr model of the atom.” “the phase change is related to the magnetic flux through the closed path by the equation: Df=2pqHA/h=2pn, where q is the particle charge, h is Planck’s constant, and the flux is the product of the magnetic field (H) and the area through the closed path (A).” [3]

    “If necessary, a supercurrent will flow in a ring so as to adjust the net flux to the nearest quantized value.” “The Meisner effect is a consequence of flux quantization. Inside a superconductor in a magnetic field there will always be some closed path small enough that the quantized flux value closest to the flux determined by the magnetic field and the area encircled by the path is zero. Thus the superconductor will adjust the net flux in this region to zero.” [3] [Does this imply that in warping orbits or spin states — or the actual shapes of the electrons from their near perfect spherical shapes — that superconductivity of some sort arises to ensure quantum values are achieved?]

    “The energy cost of expelling a magnetic field from a superconductor places an upper limit on the strength of the magnetic field that a superconductor can expel.” “One model includes “a combination of charge fluctuations, which cause Cooper pairs to form, and magnetic fluctuations, which break pairs apart.” Tunneling junctions are formed between 2 conductors, 2 superconductors, or a superconductor and conductor, separated by an insulating barrier. Because of the overlap of their wave functions in the barrier region, the charge carriers, even though they lack the energy to surmount the barrier, to ‘tunnel’ through it.” [emphasis added] Superconducting carrier density (per cc) varies from 1.6 x 1020 to 4.2 x 1021. [3]

    Randeria, et al [4] have found “a smooth crossover from a state with large, overlapping Cooper pairs (for a weakly attractive pair potential) to a Bose condensate of composite bosons formed out of tightly bound pairs of fermions.” The Cooper-paired state is characterized by xokF >> 1, and the Bose condensed state by xokF << 1, where xo is the pair size, and 1/kF is the interparticle spacing.

  • New Concepts of Matter, Life and Mind

    New Concepts of Matter, Life and Mind

    by Ervin Laszlo
    Author, Founder of Systems Philosophy

    In light of the current, revolutionary advances in the natural sciences and in the study of consciousness, the concepts of matter, life, and mind have under-gone major changes. This paper outlines some basic aspects of these changes, taking in turn the emerging concept of matter, of life, and of human mind and consciousness.

    The concept of matter

    The Western common sense view has held that there are only two kinds of things that truly exist in the world: matter and space. Matter occupies space and moves about in it and it is the primary reality. Space is a backdrop or container. Without furnished by material bodies, it does not enjoy reality in itself. This common sense concept goes back to the Greek materialists; it was the mainstay also of Newton’s physics. It has been radically revised in Einstein’s relativistic universe (where spacetime became an integrated four-dimensional manifold), and also in Bohr’s and Heisenberg’s quantum world. Now it may have to be rethought again.

    Advances in the new sciences suggest a further modification of this assumption about the nature of reality. In light of what scientists are beginning to glimpse regarding the nature of the quantum vacuum, the energy sea that underlies all of spacetime, it is no longer warranted to view matter as primary and space as secondary. It is to space or rather, to the cosmically extended ‘Dirac-sea’ of the vacuum that we should grant primary reality. The things we know as matter (and that scientists know as mass, with its associated properties of inertia and gravitation) appear as the consequence of interactions in the depth of this universal field. In the emerging concept there is no ‘absolute matter,’ only an absolute matter generating energy field.

    The concept of life

    The subtle relationship between the material things we meet with in our experience and the energy field that underlies them in the depth of the universe also transforms our view of life. Interactions with the quantum vacuum may not be limited to micro-particles: they may also involve macroscale entities, such as living systems. Life appears to be a manifestation of the constant if subtle interaction of the wave-packets classically known as ‘matter’ with the underlying vacuum field. These assumptions change our most fundamental notions of life. The living world is not the harsh domain of classical Darwinism, where each struggles against all, with every species, every organism and every gene competing for advantage against every other. Organisms are not skin-enclosed selfish entities, and competition is never unfettered. Life evolves, as does the universe itself, in a ‘sacred dance’ with an underlying field. This makes living beings into elements in a vast network of intimate relations that embraces the entire biosphere itself an interconnected element within the wider connections that reach into the cosmos.

    The concept of mind

    In the on going co-evolution of matter with the vacuum’s zero-point field, life emerges out of nonlife, and mind and consciousness emerge out of the higher domains of life. This evolutionary concept does not ‘reduce’ reality either to non-living matter (as materialism), or assimilate it to a nonmaterial mind (as idealism). Both are real but (unlike in dualism), neither is the original element in reality. Matter as well as mind evolved out of a common cosmic womb: the energy-field of the quantum vacuum. The interaction of our mind and consciousness with the quantum vacuum links us with other minds around us, as well as with the biosphere of the planet. It ‘opens’ our mind to society, nature, and the universe. This openness has been known to mystics and sensitives, prophets and meta-physicians through the ages. But it has been denied by modern scientists and by those who took modern science to be the only way of comprehending reality. Now, however, the recognition of openness is returning to the natural sciences. Traffic between our consciousness and the rest of the world may be constant and flowing in both directions. Everything that goes on in our mind could leave its wave traces in the quantum vacuum, and everything could be received by those who know how to ‘tune in’ to the subtle patterns that propagate there. This assumption is borne out by the empirical findings of psychiatrists such as Stanislav Grof. They confirm the insight of Vaclav Havel: it is as if something like an antenna were picking up signals from a transmitter that contains the experience of the entire human race.

    Societal implications

    That people in all parts of the world search for a deeper awareness of their own subconscious mind may not be accidental: at this critical juncture of our sociocultural evolution it may be part of the survival dynamics of the human species. A greater awareness that all that goes on in our mind is accessible to others, and that all that goes on in the mind of others is accessible to us, would prompt us to develop greater empathy and solidarity with each other. Such felt relations are vital not only for our personal growth and development; in our interdependent and crisis-prone world, they are vital also for our collective survival and development.

    Ervin Laszlo

    Author’s Biography

    Ervin LaszloErvin Laszlo is the author or editor of 69 books translated into as many as 19 languages, and has over four hundred articles and research papers and six volumes of piano recordings to his credit. He serves as Editor of the monthly World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution and of its associated General Evolution Studies book series.

    Laszlo is generally recognized as the founder of systems philosophy and general evolution theory, serving as Founder-Director of the General Evolution Research Group and as Past President of the International Society for the Systems Sciences. He is the recipient of the highest degree in philosophy and human sciences of the Sorbonne, the University of Paris, as well as of the coveted Artist Diploma of the Franz Liszt Academy of Budapest. His numerous prizes and awards include four Honorary Doctorates.

    Ervin Laszlo’s unusual career spans music, philosophy, science, futures studies, and world affairs. Born in Budapest, Hungary in 1932, his talent for music was discovered at the age of five. At seven he was admitted to the Franz Liszt Academy under the wing of famed composer-conductor Ernst von Dohnanyi. His debut with the Budapest Philharmonic at the age of nine established him as one of the great child prodigies of the time. Following a hiatus of barely a year due to the siege of Budapest at the end of World War II, Laszlo embarked on an international music career highlighted by the Grand Prize of the International Music Competition of Geneva in 1947, and a New York recital debut a few months later. Just fifteen, he was hailed by New York’s critics as an artist who has few peers among pianists of any age. With major write-ups in LIFE, Time, Newsweek, and other national and international media, Laszlo settled in New York and travelled from there to tour the five continents.

    In his late teens Laszlo’s childhood interest, fostered by his philosopher uncle in Budapest, in questions about meaning in nature and life and destiny in society resurfaced. It prompted him to undertake systematic readings on these fields and to follow courses and seminars in New York’s Columbia University and New School for Social Research. His copious notes accompanied him on his concert tours and in 1961 were the subject of a casual dinner conversation following a recital in The Hague. His dinner partner, who showed keen interest in his ideas, took the notes and reappeared the following morning with an offer to publish them – he turned out to be the philosophy editor of the famed Dutch publishing house Martinus Nijhoff. The publication of these notes two years later marked a turning point in Laszlo’s career. He was asked to join the University of Fribourg’s Institute of East European Studies, and two books and numerous research papers later received an invitation to spend a year at the Philosophy Department at Yale University. Laszlo’s professional involvement in science and philosophy followed a consistent if highly personal path. His main interest centered on the perennial ‘great questions’ of science and philosophy, in particular the origins of the cosmos, the nature and direction of the evolution of life and of consciousness, and the meaning of the changes and transformations we are witnessing today in culture and civilization. His initial 1963 book Essential Society: An Ontological Reconstruction was inspired by the metaphysics of Whitehead and was followed by Beyond Scepticism and Realism, a methodological treatise, and Individualism, Collectivism and Political Power, an analysis of the ideological divide in the postwar world. La Metaphysique de Whitehead, an application of Whitehead’s ‘organic philosophy’ to human society, served as Laszlo’s thesis at the Sorbonne for the Doctorat d’Etat es-Lettres et Sciences Humaines, completing his formal credentials in the academic world.

    While at Yale Laszlo read von Bertalanffy’s General System Theory, met von Bertalanffy, and began to elaborate Introduction to Systems Philosophy, the seminal work with which his name became thereafter associated. Appointments at various US Universities, including the State University of New York, led to a visiting semester at Princeton’s Center of International Studies. His seminar at the Woodrow Wilson School on the systems approach to world order engaged the attention of Club of Rome founder Aurelio Peccei, who enlisted Laszlo to complement the economic and physical ‘outer limits’ emphasis of the Club’s first Report, The Limits to Growth, with a human and cultural ‘inner limits’ orientation. Laszlo’s research resulted in 1977 in the publication of the voluminous Goals for Mankind, the third global report to The Club of Rome, as well as of the personal treatise, The Inner Limits of Mankind. To research these works the Executive Director of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) invited Laszlo as Special Fellow; an appointment that was followed by his being placed in charge of the Institute’s work on the New International Economic Order. As Programme Director Laszlo spent seven years at UN headquarters in New York, producing fifteen volumes on the New International Economic Order and another six volumes on Regional and Interregional Cooperation.

    Having completed these assignments in the mid-80s, Laszlo decided to take a sabbatical period before returning to his university. He moved to his converted medieval farmhouse in Tuscany in search of the peace and freedom to analyze his experience in the academic world and at the United Nations. He returned to his quest of researching answers to the great questions of evolution in our time. His Evolution: The Grand Synthesis was published in 1987 and was soon translated into Italian, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, and Portuguese. It was followed by the application of his evolutionary insights to contemporary society: The Age of Bifurcation. Inspiring considerable debate and discussion, it appeared in Russian and Turkish in addition to all of the previous languages.

    Laszlo’s reading and research at his Tuscan farmhouse was soon punctuated by frequent visits to the US, Japan, China, and many parts of Europe, as the United Nations University, the newly formed European Culture Impact Research Consortium, and then Federico Mayor, the Director-General of Unesco, sought his advice and collaboration. These activities culminated in 1993, when Laszlo, one of the two plenary speakers at the Third World Congress of the World Federation of Hungarians (the other being nuclear scientist Edward Teller), proposed that Hungary, neither a major economic nor a military power but a significant force in the field of science, art, and culture, should be the host to an international ‘Artist’s and Writer’s Club’ to complement the Club of Rome’s insistence on economic and political measures with emphasis on the urgency of new thinking, better values, and a deeper sense of personal and professional responsibility. The Hungarian government responded with the offer to set up the secretariat of the worldwide organization that was to become known as The Club of Budapest.

    Since the middle of the 1990s Laszlo has been dividing his time and energies between fundamental research in the new sciences – resulting in a series of books (The Creative Cosmos, 1993, The Interconnected Universe, 1995, and The Whispering Pond, 1996)-and building up the worldwide organization and activities of the Club. He produced the first Report to the Club in 1997: Third Millennium: The Challenge and the Vision. The definitive enlarged and updated version of this Report is MACROSHIFT: Navigating the Transformation to a Sustainable Civilization, slated for publication in September, 2001. For his activities in connection with the goals of the Club of Budapest-focusing world attention on the need to evolve our consciousness and adopt a more up-to-date ethics as a precondition of reaching a peaceful and sustainable world-Laszlo was awarded the Goi Peace Prize of Japan (October 2001) and is slated to receive his fourth Honorary Doctorate (November 2001).

    In addition to designing and overseeing the global projects of The Club of Budapest, including the annual awarding of the Planetary Consciousness Prizes and the celebration of the World Day of Planetary Consciousness (on March 20) and the World Day of Planetary Ethics (on September 22), Laszlo is currently completing two major science books, Coherence in Cosmos and Consciousness, and the more popularly oriented Holos: The Fabulous World of the New Sciences.

  • True Colours – by Jonathan Jansen

    I Agree with Jonathan 100%

    Time to make the choice to move South Africa forward, despite the crooks in whatever walk of life. They are everywhere at all times in every society in every country. Don’t give in to them. Fight the F——!

    Spending precious time whining helps not at all. Have we become that weak and feeble? Where is the tough pioneer spirit? Where are the warriors?

    Time to get off ones arse and DO something constructive – and don’t tell me there is nothing that can be done, because the government have all the power. Think of what they went through to get that power. Cojones!

    You need commitment, to get active and have the cojones.

    Well, actually you don’t.

    Think of how many of our admirable women have done wonders in their communities for the poorest of the poor with so little but courage that it makes one want to weep.

    Look at what the much maligned taxi drivers have achieved. An Africa wide, highly effective and convenient transport system where this was virtually non existent. (OK! OK! also a little dangerous and I wish they drove with more care, but that is another challenge) Even if you don’t use a taxi, you had better believe most do and that includes YOUR domestic.

    So get a grip man and make a plan!!

  • What Is This RSS-XML-RDF-Atom and Feeds Business?

    It’s been a long day at work and you’re in no mood to cook dinner or go out. Time to count on the reliable pizza delivery guy. The order is called in and he promptly arrives with smokin’ hot pizza within 30 minutes as promised.

    If it were only that easy with a picky family where no one can agree on the same restaurant for dinner. One wants Mexican, another wants Chinese, and another wants a burger and Mexican. Instead of running to three different places, you call a delivery service that goes to all of them and brings it to you. What could be easier in getting a meal without cooking it or picking it up?

    RSS, XML, RDF, and Atom are the food delivery guy of the Internet. The content they deliver is mixed and cooked elsewhere on the Internet just like the meal isn’t made on your door step and the acronym fellows bring the content to you through software or an online application. Instead of trying to remember all the places where you like to go to get the latest news, it all comes to you once you order your food.

    What to Do with the Funky Code

    Click on any of those orange or blue RSS, XML, or RDF buttons and you see unreadable text. Some of it is readable, but reading between the is slow and difficult. In this case, you’ve got the raw ingredients of the content known as a feed. To make it easily readable, download a feed reader that can interpret (aggregate) the ingredients or sign up for an online service that can do the same.

    When the software or application is ready to go, click on the orange or blue button (or “Syndicate This Page,” or whatever is along these lines) and copy the resulting URL from the address box. Paste it into the application to cook the ingredients where it’s delivered to you ready for your enjoyment.

    Syndication Isn’t Just for Blogs

    Syndication is a not a new concept on the Internet, but it’s growing in popularity as more Web sites and newsletters are churning content to turn it into syndicated files, which are fed into an aggregator. Think of it as the content that’s ready to travel anywhere it needs to go. Grab the feed and feed it to the aggregator, another way of bookmarking (or creating a favorite) a site because you wish to come back again another time.

    Instead of schlepping from site to site in search of information, you can have it all in front of you through the aggregator. The feeds are sorted in folders by topic for easy finding. If I’m writing about the latest virus or worm, then I open the security folder with the security-related feeds and scan them.

    Scanning content through aggregators is easier than with a Web site because it’s all in one place with a list of easy to scan headlines and usually a short summary. On a Web site, you’re only getting the benefit of that site’s news — nothing else. The folder has news from over ten resources including blogs, news sites, and newsletters.

    Any content can be syndicated. It’s a matter of having the back-end process in place, which is dependent on the application used for managing the content. If a site doesn’t have such resources, then there are applications that can easily create a feed for posting on the site. No techie knowledge needed.

    Most aggregators have exporting capabilities so the feed can be shared with others interested in the same topic. If you’re interested in my security feeds, I can export them into, in most cases, an OPML file and you can import it into your feed reader.

    Mix up the Content

    If the feed is automatically created, what have you got to lose? You’re providing another way for your readers to get your content just like you can get pizza in different ways: go to the restaurant, have it delivered, or make it at home. More applications are adding syndication capabilities, which make the process effortless. Some have said they won’t read something unless it has a feed.

    It’s an opportunity to get more readers because there are many directories where publishers can submit their feeds and get noticed. So when someone does a search on your topic, your news might come up and you’ll have gained a new reader.

    There was a time when we didn’t have the option to have pizza delivered to our doorstep. When we’re too tired, we know we can rely on the delivery guy. In term of content, expect to see it show up at your doorstep more often than the pizza guy plus it’s cheaper with the cost only coming from the software though there are many free options available. Syndication is a must have for a company’s communication toolbox. Witness it by watching for RSS, XML, RDF, and Atom out there.

  • Aloe Vera Juice

    Out of the 400 species of the Aloe family, Aloe Vera (meaning True Aloe) has been used for thousands of years and is still present in varieties of medicines today. It is used predominantly as an herbal remedy for the skin, digestion, the reproductive system and detox. A gel or pulp can be extracted from the plants for many benefits, both externally and internally.

    It is most commonly used to treat skin conditions by soothing the skin and easing pain and inflammation. It can even speed up the healing process of burns, eczema and other conditions. The plant’s gel can be rubbed to reduce redness after a couple of days. Rubbing the leaf over cuts in the skin can prevent infection and speed up the healing process by acting like a bandage. Because of its healing and moisturising benefits to the skin, it has been adopted by cosmetic companies and added in many products.

    The juice of Aloe Vera can be extracted by cutting the leaf, collecting the juice and then evaporating it. The juice has many benefits when drunk. This is partially due to the fact that it contains twelve vitamins (including A, B1, B6, B12, C and E), nineteen amino acids and over 20 minerals, which most of these are essential to the body. In Ayurveda, the Indian health practice, Aloe Vera is known as Kumari (‘the princess’) because of its positive effect on the menstrual cycle and female reproductive system. It is also known for its ability to clean the liver and protect the digestive system by reducing intestinal inflammation.

    Overall, Aloe Vera can be used for cosmetics and healing the skin, or when consumed, as a potent cleansing and rejuvenating tonic that is very nutrient rich and beneficial to the body. You can buy Aloe Vera juice at most health stores.

  • Age-Old Remedy for the Newest Flu

    Every year the seasonal flu kills about 36,000 people and sends 200,000 to the hospital, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Every year during “flu season” (typically starting around Thanksgiving and peaking around Christmas) there’s a rush to get flu shots; especially among the elderly, the ill, and the very young, the concern is well-grounded.

    For most sufferers — between 5 and 20 percent of the population every year — the flu brings fever, headaches, fatigue, aches and pains, stomach distress and other symptoms that make life miserable for days.

    Rumor of a pandemic flu outbreak has brought increased concern. It’s important to understand exactly what this means, rather than just being fearful of something arriving at the nearest airport to which you have no defense.

    Viruses are the invading organisms responsible for most epidemic illnesses. Virus-caused illnesses range from the common cold to cold sores, warts, measles and chicken pox, hepatitis, West Nile virus, the “ordinary” flu, and AIDS. Most recently, it’s the Avian flu that has people on edge.

    We can help prevent the passage of viruses from person to person by avoiding large indoor gatherings of people (right…during the holiday season…) and exercising good sanitary practices – washing hands often, using tissues, ventilation of rooms, etc.

    Viruses are known to be resistant to pharmaceutical antibiotics. Many public health experts have pinned their hopes on the antiviral drug Tamiflu to fight the avian flu, for example, only to find that resistent cases are emerging. A flu virus mutates frequently and sometimes a new strain emerges that humans have not been exposed to. If the strain spreads easily between humans, it can cause widespread death and overwhelm global health resources. (It’s important to realize that the avian flu is NOT passed easily between humans; it seems to mostly be passed from poultry to humans.) A flu virus from half a world away is one to which you will most likely have no immunity, unlike the local ones you contact, and the mutations can leave us even more defenseless.

    Enter the powerful healing properties of the oil of the tea tree, Melaleuca alternifolia. Tea tree oil has various uses in medical treatments because of its triple antibiotic features: it’s an antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal agent. Just because a substance is naturally-occuring with no known side effects, does not mean it can’t be effective. Tea tree was an important medicinal for native Australians. They drank tea made of the leaves and applied tea tree poultices to treat wounds, cuts, and various skin disorders. In 1920, Dr. A. Penfold tested the oil’s properties for the first time. He discovered that tea tree oil was 12 times more potent than the accepted antiseptic at the time, carbolic acid. Dr. Penfold’s research prompted further testing in the following decades, contributing to its increasing use by the public.

    Tea tree oil is a valuable alternative to pharmaceuticals. Its complex chemical composition makes it extremely difficult for germs to develop resistance. Traditional antibiotics possess more simple chemical structures to which germs can easily develop immunity. Tea tree oil is readily absorbed and it continues to block germ growth at the site for several days after the initial application. The oil is a proven immuno-stimulant and anti-viral agent; it is even currently being tested in the treatment of AIDS.

    You should apply a small test amount to the skin before using it for the first time, as with any product, there is always the chance of sensitivity in any particular individual. Adding a couple drops to a vaporizer and inhaling the steam helps to freshen and disinfect the air, killing germs that infect the sinuses and lungs, and opening clogged respiratory passages. The oil can be rubbed into the skin at full strength, or mixed with a carrier oil or lotion. The oil can also be added to a hot bath and is then assimilated both through the skin and the nasal passages.

    Personal use of tea tree oil is not to be substituted for advice from your family doctor. It is, however, useful in prevention and as a first aid treatment. And there is anecdotal and scientific evidence of truly amazing results using this phenomenal substance.

  • Michael Rasmussen’s “Email Promos Exposed” Video Series: How to Write Killer Email Promos That Get Results!

    Have you ever been faced with the task of having
    to write  email promos to your list, and
    then realized that you didn’t know what to say or
    how to say it?

     

    Michael Rasmussen’s new video course “Email
    Promos Exposed    ” promises to solve that problem
    for you by walking you through the actual process
    of creating killer email promos step-by-step.

    *************************************************

    I decided to see if Michael’s videos live up to
    their promise by trying them out myself. Here’s
    what I found:

    *************************************************
    Overall Quality
    *************************************************

    The first thing I noticed when I opened up the
    first video was the stunning production quality.
    He used Camtasia Studio for the production, which
    is now the industry standard for creating
    high-quality screen capture video products. The
    audio is near studio quality, and the graphics
    are very professional. These videos were made by
    someone who KNOWS what he’s doing. Well done!

    I also liked how Michael divided the videos up by
    section, and then again by sub-section. For
    example, one video is all about the subject line,
    and then there are different parts of that video
    that each cover a certain area of crafting a
    killer subject line.

    Now let’s move onto…

    *************************************************
    THE ACTUAL VIDEOS
    *************************************************

    Here’s a brief summary of each video. Obviously
    it’s impossible to list every single thing here,
    but I want you to get a feel for what each one
    covered, and how well it covered it.

    *************************************************

    **********************************************

    VIDEO 1 – INTRODUCTION TO EMAIL PROMOS

    This video served as an introduction to the whole
    course. You get to see a picture of Michael in
    his every day life, and he establishes his
    credibility right up front by talking about some
    of his massive successes online. He even provides
    proof of credibility by displaying two checks in
    the amount of $50,000 and $25,000 which prove
    that, when it comes to the subject of making
    money with email promos, he knows his stuff.

    This is a good lesson for anyone to get. Whenever
    you’re teaching people how to do something, it’s
    good to establish your credibility up front, so
    that there’s no doubt about whether or not you’re
    qualified to talk about the subject. Most product
    developers either skip or minimize this step.

    VIDEO 2 – BEFORE YOU WRITE THE EMAIL PROMO

    This video talks about some things that no other
    marketer has bothered to mention. You’ll learn
    things like:

    * The mindset you need in order to write a killer
    promo

    * The different tools you need before you get
    started

    * How to keep your emails laser-focused

    * How to create an outline that practically
    writes the email for you.

    This was a fantastic video, and did a good job of
    kicking things off.

    VIDEO 3 – THE SUBJECT LINE

    I liked this video, because it talked about one
    of MY biggest weaknesses when it comes to writing
    email promos… the subject line. The subject
    line is a confusing topic, because nobody’s 100%
    sure what the best tactics are.

    Michael breaks it down, and reveals:

    * The biggest secret for writing a subject line
    that makes people insanely curious.

    * Techniques for personalizing the subject line.

    * Mistakes to avoid when using personalization.

    I was surprised to find that I was making some of
    the mistakes that Michael mentioned in this
    video, but now I know better.

    VIDEO 4 – THE OPENING

    This is where a lot of people slack off when
    writing their emails. Michael talks about how
    important it is to create an opening that is
    conversational, and then reveals techniques and
    examples on how to do that.

    He also reveals:

    * How to get people to keep reading your email
    once they’ve opened it.

    * How to make your opening interesting.

    * Mistakes to avoid when creating your first few
    paragraphs.

    VIDEO 5 – THE BODY COPY

    This is one of the “meatiest” portions of the
    course, because it reveals techniques that are
    not widely discussed on the forums, blogs, and in
    most eBooks. He talks about the importance of
    keeping your body copy tight and relevant, and
    then reveals how you can do that. You’ll also
    learn:

    * How to write powerful bullets that make people
    curious and want to find out more.

    * Simple formatting tricks for making your body
    copy easy to read.

    * The secret of “bucket brigade copy” and how to
    use it in your email promos to force people to
    keep reading.

    VIDEO 6 – THE CALL TO ACTION

    This is where a lot of people wimp out in their
    email promos. They start out strong, but when it
    comes time to ask the reader to click the link
    and take action, they don’t know what to say.
    Michael talks about some of his favorite
    techniques for making that happen, and also
    reveals:

    * The “magic question” to ask yourself that will
    make your close much more powerful.

    * The secret of the “unanswered question” and why
    handling this is a surefire way to get people to
    act right away.

    * The structure of a powerful close.

    * Mistakes people make when creating their close.

    VIDEO 7 – CREATING AN EFFECTIVE P.S.

    Some people say that the P.S. is one of the most
    important parts of the email, because it is often
    the one thing that gets people to click the link
    at the end. In this video, Michael talks about:

    * Why you should including a P.S. at the end of
    your email.

    * The 4 different kinds of P.S.’s you can use
    (this section was a real eye-opener for me).

    VIDEO 8 – COMMON MISTAKES PEOPLE MAKE

    I loved this video, because it showed me some
    mistakes that I was making that I wasn’t even
    aware of. Unless you’re a seasoned pro, you’re
    probably guilty of some of the things that
    Michael talks about in this video as well, and
    that’s why it’s so valuable. I’ve shaved years
    off my learning curve, because now I can avoid
    some of the costly mistakes that I was bound to
    make in the learning process.

    VIDEO 9 – HOW TO CREATE FOLLOW-UP EMAIL PROMOS

    This video alone is going to make me a lot of
    money. Why? Because I used to only send out one
    email promo for each affiliate promotion I was
    doing. Michael showed me in this video how
    important it is to send a follow-up promotion,
    and he showed me exactly how to do it. He covered
    things like:

    * The psychology of follow-up email promo’s.

    * The 2 main types of follow-up promos that make
    the most money.

    * How to overcome readers’ objections in your
    follow up emails.

    * The 2 most common mistakes people make when
    writing follow-ups and how to avoid them.

    VIDEO 10 – HOW TO WRITE BACK END EMAIL PROMOS

    Every marketing guru out there says that the REAL
    money is on the back end. I’d have to agree with
    them, but the problem is… most people have no
    idea how to set up a back end system that makes
    money. This video will teach you how to set up an
    automated back end that’s loaded with killer
    promos that make you lots of cash on autopilot.
    He reveals things like:

    * The big difference between regular and back end
    email promos.

    * How to prepare a back end promotion sequence.

    * Common mistakes people make when creating back
    end email promos.

    VIDEO 11 – CREATING AFFILIATE EMAIL PROMOS

    This could be the most important video of the
    entire package for a lot of people, because most
    people email their list to promote other people’s
    products as an affiliate. Let’s face it, if you
    only have 3 products, can you really afford to
    only email your list 3 times a year? They’ll get
    bored hearing about the same old products over
    and over again. This video sheds some light on
    how to create killer affiliate promos. Michael
    reveals things like:

    * The two main types of affiliate promos.

    * What makes affiliate promos different than
    regular promos (and why ignoring this huge secret
    could cost you big money).

    * Michael’s favorite tactics for creating
    affiliate promos that no one else is doing.

    * 3 different ways to add scarcity to your
    affiliate promos (this is the most important
    section of the video, so make sure you watch it
    over and over again).

    *************************************************
    CONCLUSION
    *************************************************

    As you can see, Email Promos Exposed really packs
    a lot of punch! Most of the courses out there
    offer only watered down, weak content. Not this
    one! These videos are going on my “A-list” for a
    long time.

    I’ve already watched them twice, and plan on
    reviewing them every couple months to make sure
    that I have the principals, techniques and
    tactics burned into my mind.

    If email marketing is an important part of your
    business (and in my opinion, it’s the most
    important part of ANY online business), then you
    owe it to yourself to check out Michael’s
    exciting new videos, Email Promos Exposed.

  • When The Cats Stray Its The Dogs Day

  • Antioxidants – Add A Lean, Muscular Body To The List Of Benefits!

    I’m sure by now you’ve heard all about the amazing health benefits of antioxidant rich foods in your diet.

    Not only do these free-radical fighting antioxidants help you look and feel younger by slowing down the aging process, but they also help to prevent cancer, heart disease, and loads of other degenerative diseases. But that’s not all. Antioxidants also help you to recover better from exercise…and that means more muscle and less fat on your body in the long run!

    The function that antioxidants play in aiding your recovery from exercise is the inhibition of free radicals produced during exercise. Any time you workout, free radicals are produced in the body that damage muscle tissue. Having an adequate supply of antioxidants about an hour or so before your workout can greatly reduce the muscle damage caused by free radicals, hence, improving your muscular recovery from exercise.

    Some of the most potent sources of whole food antioxidants are berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, cranberries), cherries, acai fruit, various teas (green tea, oolong tea, white tea, black tea, and red tea – a.k.a. rooibos tea), nuts, seeds, red and black beans, purple potatoes, grapes, red wine, cinnamon, and dark chocolate or cocoa. Don’t be fooled by all of the intense marketing for expensive antioxidant supplement pills…remember whole foods are always better for you (and cheaper) than a pill.

    My favorite pre-workout antioxidant-loaded snack is a piece of whole grain toast with almond butter, a small amount of blackberry jam, and topped with a pile of fresh blueberries or sliced strawberries. I wash it down with a glass of iced green tea or rooibos tea sweetened with just a small bit (about a teaspoon) of raw honey. This is literally a quintuple-whammy of potent anti-oxidants! The almond butter, blackberry, blueberries, raw honey, and the green or rooibos tea are all loaded with different varieties of muscle protecting, youth promoting antioxidants. I throw down this snack about an hour before my training. Give it a try for yourself, or be creative and come up with your own antioxidant-rich pre-workout snack based on your tastes.

    Remember, your body is continually bombarded every day by free radicals (creating oxidative stress) from exercise, air pollution, smoke, sun exposure, junk food, exposure to chemicals, etc. To reap the full benefits of antioxidants, try to make sure that every meal and snack you eat has at least one or two sources of antioxidant rich foods. This will give you a continuous supply of antioxidants throughout every day to prevent damage from the free radicals you are constantly exposed to.

    Antioxidants are just one piece to the puzzle of a healthy diet that will give you the lean, muscular, youthful, and disease-free body that everyone wants. To discover the secrets behind all of the other pieces to the diet puzzle that create a lean body (macronutrient profile, glycemic response, hormonal response, glycogen storage, muscle protein synthesis, the role of leptin, the insulin process, etc.), visit
