The Thalamus (Inner Chamber):

The 3rd Eye :

situated between cerebral cortex and midbrain which contains the Pineal Gland

****Rods and Cones***

The Pinecone

Our Pineal Gland, shaped like (and named after) the Pinecone,

is at the geometric center of our brain

and is intimately linked to our body’s perception of light.

The spiral growth of branches, needles, and cone scales is arranged in Fibonacci number ratios.

The new spring shoots are sometimes called “candles”;

they are covered in brown or whitish bud scales

and point upward at first,

then later turn green and spread outward.

The Pineal modulates

our wake-sleep patterns

and circadian rhythms,

remains uniquely isolated

from the blood-brain barrier system,

and receives a higher percentage of blood flow

than any other area of the body save the kidneys.

It is considered by many to be our biological Third Eye,

the “Seat of the Soul,”

the “Epicenter of Enlightenment”

It’s sacred symbol throughout history, in cultures around the world, has been the Pinecone.

Bucket and Cone

refer to twin attributes that are frequently held in the hands of winged genies

depicted in Neo-Assyrian art and especially Assyrian palace reliefs –

sometimes, however, only the bucket is held, and the other hand is held up in what may be a blessing gesture.

These objects are often displayed in association with a stylised tree,

before floral decorations, guardian figures,

the king and / or his attendants and open doorways or portals.^[1]

The cone was apparently held up in the right hand,

the bucket held hanging downwards in the left hand of the figure,

which is almost always that of a winged genie or an animal-headed demon or monster

(though not necessarily with the same negative connotations)

– only very occasionally might these attributes be borne by a fully human figure.

As to the identity of the twin objects,

the “cone” is generally recognised as a pine or fir cone (pinus brutia);

alternative identifications suggest the male flower of the date palm,

or as a clay model imitating the form of one or the other.^[2]

The bucket was presumably either of metal or basketry and is thought to have held either water or pollen or both.

Although explanatory texts regarding these objects are exceedingly rare,

it does seem likely that they were together employed in rituals of purification,

as revealed by their Akkadian names:

banddudû (“bucket”)

and mullilu (“purifier”).^[3]

In this case the fir cone would be dipped in the bucket of water before being shaken in order to ritually purify a person or object.^[4]

Alternatively the close association of the objects with depictions of stylised trees has led to the suggestion that it depicts fertilisation.^[4]

In this case the pollen from the male flower of the date palm would be being shaken onto the tree.^[4]

Isaiah 14 : God’s Restoration of Israel

1For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall join to the house of Jacob. 2And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.

Triumphant Exultation over Babel

3And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give you rest from your sorrow, and from your fear, and from the hard bondage wherein you were made to serve,

4That you shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say,

How has the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased!

5The LORD has broken the staff of the wicked, and the scepter of the rulers. 6He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hinders. 7The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

8Yes, the fir trees rejoice at you, and the cedars of Lebanon,

saying, Since you are laid down, no feller is come up against us.

9Hell from beneath is moved for you to meet you at your coming:

it stirs up the dead for you, even all the chief ones of the earth;

it has raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations.

10All they shall speak and say to you, Are you also become weak as we? are you become like to us?

11Your pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you.

12How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how are you cut down to the ground, which did weaken the nations!

13For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:

I will sit also on the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

15Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

16They that see you shall narrowly look on you, and consider you, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19But you are cast out of your grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcass trodden under feet. 20You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you have destroyed your land, and slain your people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

21Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 22For I will rise up against them, said the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, said the LORD. 23I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, said the LORD of hosts.

God’s Purpose against Assyria

24The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand: 25That I will break the Assyrian in my land, and on my mountains tread him under foot: then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders. 26This is the purpose that is purposed on the whole earth: and this is the hand that is stretched out on all the nations. 27For the LORD of hosts has purposed, and who shall cancel it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?

Philistia will Be Destroyed

28In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden. 29Rejoice not you, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote you is broken: for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. 30And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill your root with famine, and he shall slay your remnant. 31Howl, O gate; cry, O city; you, whole Palestina, are dissolved: for there shall come from the north a smoke, and none shall be alone in his appointed times. 32What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and the poor of his people shall trust in it.

Fir Trees

(Abies) genus of 48–56 species of evergreen coniferous trees in the family Pinaceae.

They are found through much of North and Central America, Europe, Asia, and North Africa, occurring in mountains over most of the range.

Firs are most closely related to the genus Cedrus (cedar).

They are large trees,

reaching heights of 10–80 m (33–262 ft) tall

and trunk diameters of 0.5–4 m (1 ft 8 in–13 ft 1 in) when mature.

Firs can be distinguished from other members of the pine family by the unique attachment of their needle-like leaves and by their different cones.

Identification of the different species is based on

the size and arrangement of the leaves,

the size and shape of the cones,

and whether the bract scales of the cones are long and exserted,

or short and hidden inside the cone.

Many are also decorative garden trees, notably Korean fir and Fraser fir,

which produce brightly coloured cones even when very young,

still only 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft) tall.

Other firs can grow anywhere between 30 and 236 feet (9.1 and 71.9 m) tall. .

Wood of most firs is considered unsuitable for general timber use,

and is often used as pulp

or for the manufacture of plywood

and rough timber.

Because this genus has no insect or decay resistance qualities after logging,

it is generally recommended for construction purposes

as indoor use only (e.g. indoor drywall on framing).

This wood left outside cannot be expected to last more than 12 to 18 months,

depending on the type of climate it is exposed to.

It is commonly referred to by several different names,

including North American timber, SPF (spruce, pine, fir) and whitewood.

Nordmann fir, noble fir, Fraser fir and balsam fir are popular Christmas trees,

generally considered to be the best for this purpose,

with aromatic foliage that does not shed many needles on drying out.

The sacred fir (Abies religiosa)

is the preferred tree for the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

to reside in colonies during its hibernation

in the forests of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.

Although monarch butterflies

are known in other parts of the southern Mexican highlands

as some specimens do not migrate,

the bulk of them gather in a few protected fir forests

near the towns of Angangueo(Michoacán)

and Avándaro (State of Mexico),

from December to March.

The wood of the sacred fir

is rather soft and thus not very suited for woodworking.

Still, its distribution is narrowing because of logging for fuel and other human-related disturbances.^[4]

This insect species migrates

from central and north United States

and south Canada to Central Mexico (Michoacán and Estado de Mexico).

During the fall migration,

monarchs cover thousands of miles,

with a corresponding multi-generational return north.

The western North American population of monarchs west of the Rocky Mountains

often migrates to sites in southern California

but has been found in overwintering Mexican sites as well.^[3]^[4]

Project Monarch

Project MKUltra, also called the CIA mind control program,

is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects,

at times illegal, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency.^[1]

Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures

to be used in interrogations and torture in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control.

Organized through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA,

the project coordinated with the Special Operations Division of the U.S. Army’s Chemical Corps.^[2]

The operation began in the early 1950s,

was officially sanctioned in 1953,

was reduced in scope in 1964,

further curtailed in 1967,

and officially halted in 1973.^[3]

The program engaged in many illegal activities,^[4]^[5]^[6]

Genesis 28 : Jacob’s Ladder

10And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. 11And he lighted on a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. 12And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. 13And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: the land where on you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed; 14And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in you and in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15And, behold, I am with you, and will keep you in all places where you go, and will bring you again into this land; for I will not leave you, until I have done that which I have spoken to you of. 16And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 17And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

The Stone of Bethel

18And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it. 19And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.20And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 21So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: 22And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that you shall give me I will surely give the tenth to you.

Genesis 32 : Jacob Wrestles with God

22And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. 23And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 24And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let you go, except you bless me. 27And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob. 28And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince have you power with God and with men, and have prevailed. 29And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name. And he said, Why is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed him there. 30And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel^[4639]: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 31And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he halted on his thigh. 32Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.

^[4639]פְּנוּאֵל Pᵉnûwʼêl, pen-oo-ale’; 9 in 8 Penuel or Peniel = “facing God”

from H6437 and H410;

The third eye is often associated with

religious visions,

clairvoyance,

the ability to observe chakras and auras,

precognition,

andout-of-body experiences.

People who are claimed to have the capacity to utilize their third eyes are sometimes known asseers.

In some traditions such as Hinduism,

the third eye is said to be located around the middle of the forehead,

slightly above the junction of the eyebrows.

In New Agespirituality,

the third eye oftensymbolizesa state of enlightenment

or the evocation of mental images

having deeply personal, spiritual, or psychological significance.

Ezekial 8 : Vision of Idolatry in the Temple

1And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there on me. 2Then I beheld, and see a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of amber. 3And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of my head;

and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven,

and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem,

to the door of the inner gate that looks toward the north;

where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.

4And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

5Then said he to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry. 6He said furthermore to me, Son of man, see you what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations.

7And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. 8Then said he to me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dig in the wall, behold a door. 9And he said to me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here. 10So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed on the wall round about. 11And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the middle of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. 12Then said he to me, Son of man, have you seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, the LORD sees us not; the LORD has forsaken the earth. 13He said also to me, Turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations that they do.

14Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. 15Then said he to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? turn you yet again, and you shall see greater abominations than these.

Tammuz = “child of the sun”, the son of Nimrod, the sun god.

The Egyptian version of Tammuz is Horus.

The child of “Ra”, the sun god.

Horus was the ancient Egyptian sky god who was usually depicted as a falcon,

His right eye was associated with the sun god, Ra.

The eye symbol represents the marking around the eye of the falcon, including the “teardrop” marking sometimes found below the eye.

Ra = “Wickedness” , “Evil”

Ramases = “child of the sun”, the Pharoah who chased the Israelites out of Egypt and drowned in the Red Sea

2 Timothy 2 : Evil (Ra) in the Last Days

1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as their’s also was.

16And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east. 17Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, see, they put the branch to their nose. 18Therefore will I also deal in fury: my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.

InTheosophy it is related to the pineal gland.^[12]

According to this belief, humans had in far ancient times

an actual third eye

in the back of the head

with a physical and spiritual function.

Over time, as humans evolved,

this eye atrophied and sunk into what today is known as the pineal gland.

Dr.Rick Strassmanhas hypothesized that the pineal gland,

which maintains light sensitivity,

is responsible for the production and release of DMT(dimethyltryptamine),

an entheogen which he believes

possibly could be excreted in large quantities at the moments of birth and death.^[13]

Adherents of theosophist H.P. Blavatsky^[14]have suggested that the third eye is in fact

the partially dormant pineal gland,

which resides between the two hemispheres of the brain.

Ezekial 28 : Prophecy against the King of Tyre

1The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, 2Son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus said the Lord GOD; Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas; yet you are a man, and not God, though you set your heart as the heart of God:3Behold, you are wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from you: 4With your wisdom and with your understanding you have gotten you riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasures: 5By your great wisdom and by your traffic have you increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches: 6Therefore thus said the Lord GOD; Because you have set your heart as the heart of God; 7Behold, therefore I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they shall defile your brightness. 8They shall bring you down to the pit, and you shall die the deaths of them that are slain in the middle of the seas. 9Will you yet say before him that slays you, I am God? but you shall be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slays you. 10You shall die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, said the Lord GOD.

Reptiles and amphibians sense light via a third parietal eye

—a structure associated with the pineal gland

—which serves to regulate their circadian rhythms, and for navigation,

as it can sense the polarization of light.

C.W. Leadbeater claimed that by extending an “etheric tube” from the third eye,

it is possible to develop microscopic and telescopic vision.

It has been asserted by Stephen Phillips that the third eye’s microscopic vision

is capable of observing objects as small asquarks.^[15]

The Lotus Flower

The spiritual symbolism of the lotus flower also had strong meaning amongst the ancient Egyptians.

There are countless hieroglyphics that depict the lotus flower, and as with many other cultures, it is a symbol of rebirth.

Because the lotus flower closes its petals at night and emerges back into the murky waters from which it came,

then rises up again out of the water at dawn to bloom,

the spiritual traditions of the Egyptians hold the lotus to represent the sun.

This moves even deeper in symbolism to represent creation and the idea of rebirth.

According to the ancient Egyptians, it was the lotus that gave birth to the sun.

The lotus flower is the most distinguished and recognisable symbol of Buddhism (and Hinduism).

You will find it in every temple, pagoda and monument, both open, closed and in different colours.

Yet orthodox Buddhist do not know the full true meaning of the lotus flower – they only know the part truths told to them by the organised Buddhist religion.

Unlike the other 7 codes in the catalogue of 8 auspicious symbols promulgated by Buddhism,

the interpretation behind the meaning of the lotus

is perhaps as close to the truth as you can expect from an organised religion.

It represents purification of the mind and heart and the development of wisdom,

virtues man must develop to attainment of enlightenment.

The lotus flower reflects human consciousness and experience,

from the muddy roots of base consciousness

to the higher realms of divine awareness.

It symbolises the journey of man’s development and our quest for enlightenment.

The symbol of the lotus flower was adopted by buddhism from the hindu religion.

Revelation 14 : The 3 Angels and Babylon’s Fall

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice,

If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name. 12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Chakra System

The lotus flower is also extremely symbolic in regards to a person’s chakra system.

These 7 major energy centers located within a person’s body

are represented by a lotus flower,

each with a specific number of lotus petals for each individual chakra.

According to East Indian philosophy, we possess seven major *Chakras* or psychic centers on the body.

Each of these forms a bridge, link, or energy transformer;

changing pure (higher) energy into various forms,

and connecting the four bodies

(ie. spiritual, mental, astral, and physical) together.

The chakras are located along the nadies (a network of psychic nerves or channels) and follow the autonomic nervous system along the spinal cord.

Chakras correlate with major acupuncture points along the ‘governing vessel meridian’ (acupuncture term).

The seven major chakras are connected together by three major nadies which are parallel and near each other.

The middle nadi is called *sushumna* and it has neutral characteristics.

The nadi on the left (ie. nearest your left hand) is the *ida* nadi which has yin characteristics.

On the other side of sushumna (nearest your right hand) is the *pingala* nadi, having yang qualities.

Chakras are visible to clairvoyant sight as varously colored rotating circles or funnels.

In the East they are described as petaled flowers or lotuses.

While in Western Shamanism they are devined as Spirit Tunnels.

There are many minor chakras throughout the body but in this writing we will focus on the primary seven as the others are beyond the scope of this discussion.

Each chakra has a color and sound letter and a pitch associated with it which can be used to invoke it.

Chakra “wheels of spinning energy”

is the sanskrit word for “wheel” or “circle,”

because the chakras are energy centres,

thus when they are balanced they spin

and allow energy to flow up the spine (or the Kundalini).

The Official Vatican spin on this horrifyingly evil appearing sculpture is that…

“Christ rises from this crater torn open by a nuclear bomb; an atrocious explosion, a vortex of violence and energy.”

Energy centers of the body

Root Chakra

Located at the base of the spine at the perineum,

it primarily relates to the element of earth and to psychic smell.

It is a very bright shade of red and you can chant “oohm” in tone C while focusing on this area.

Sexual Chakra

Located above and behind the genitals.

Its dominant element is water, and it is related to psychic taste.

It is a clear shade of orange.

You can chant “ohm” in tone D for this one.

Solar Plexus

It is a bright sunny yellow color.

Chant “ahm” in tone E for this one.

Heart Chakra

Located over the heart and corresponding with the element of air and psychic touch.

Visualize a bright green or a bright pink.

Both are seen as the color of this chakra.

Chant “ah” in tone F for this one.

Throat Chakra

Located at the base of the throat (thyroid) and corresponding with psychic hearing (clairaudience.)

A light shade of blue, you can chant “ehm” in tone G for this one.

Third Eye

Is located between and slightly above the eyebrows.

This chakra is the center of psychic powers and can produce many psychic effects.

Meditation on this chakra is said to cure nervousness.

A transparent indigo blue in color, you can chant “eem” in tone A for this one.

Crown Chakra

Located atop the head, (pineal gland) is the seventh chakra.

It is referred to as the thousand-petaled lotus and corresponds with astral projection and enlightenment.

Violet or white are both seen as the color of this chakra.

Matthew 6

7But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.8Be not you therefore like to them: for your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him.

The Secret Behind The Silicon Valley Elite’s Success: Meditation

Silicon Valley is obsessed with meditation

How Silicon Valley rediscovered LSD

LSD Microdosing: The New Job Enhancer In Silicon Valley And Beyond?

The word “silicon” originally referred to the large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers in the region, but the area is now the home to many of the world’s largest high-tech corporations, including the headquarters of 39 businesses in the Fortune 1000, and thousands of startup companies.

Silicon Valley also accounts for one-third of all of the venture capitalinvestment in the United States, which has helped it to become a leading hub and startup ecosystem for high-tech innovation and scientific development.

It was in the Valley that the silicon-based integrated circuit, the microprocessor, and the microcomputer, among other key technologies, were developed.

As of 2013, the region employed about a quarter of a million information technology workers.^[1]

The first published use of Silicon Valley is credited to Don Hoefler, a friend of local entrepreneur Ralph Vaerst’s who suggested the phrase to him.

Hoefler used the phrase as the title of a series of articles in the weekly trade newspaperElectronic News.^[3]

The series, titled “Silicon Valley in the USA”, began in the paper’s January 11, 1971, issue.

The term gained widespread use in the early 1980s, at the time of the introduction of the IBM PC and numerous related hardware and software products to the consumer market.

The silicon part of the name refers to the high concentration of companies involved in the making of semiconductors (silicon is used to create most semiconductors commercially) and computer industries that were concentrated in the area.

Stanford University leadership was especially important in the valley’s early development.

Together these elements formed the basis of its growth and success.^[4]

Roots in telegraph, radio, commercial and military technology

The Bay Area was an early center of ham radio with about 10% of the operators in the United States.

William Eitel, Jack McCullough, and Charles Litton, who together pioneered vacuum tube manufacturing in the Bay Area, were hobbyists with training in technology gained locally who participated in development of shortwave radio by the ham radio hobby.

High frequency, and especially, Very high frequency, VHF, transmission in the 10 meter band, required higher quality power tubes than were manufactured by the consortium of RCA, Western Electric, General Electric, Westinghouse which controlled vacuum tube manufacture.

Litton, founder of Litton Industries, pioneered manufacturing techniques which resulted in award of wartime contracts to manufacture transmitting tubes for radar to Eitel-McCullough, a San Bruno firm, which manufactured power-grid tubes for radio amateurs and aircraft radio equipment.^[9]

These firms slowly replaced the orchards and the fruits which gave the area its initial nickname—the “Valley of Heart’s Delight”.^{[citation needed]}

Silicon Valley was born through several contributing factors intersecting,

including a skilled STEM research base housed in area universities, plentiful venture capital, and steady U.S. Department of Defense spending.

Isaiah 11 : The Root of Jesse

1And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 6The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatted calf together; and a little child shall lead them. 7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. 9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. 10And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. 11And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

12And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. 13The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. 14But they shall fly on the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. 15And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the 7 streams, and make men go over with dry sandals. 16And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

Numbers 22 : Balak Summons Balaam

1And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.

2And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. 3And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 4And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. 5He sent messengers therefore to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 6Come now therefore, I pray you, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.

7And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. 8And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam. 9And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you? 10And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying, 11Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covers the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. 12And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people: for they are blessed. 13And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with you. 14And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.

15And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honorable than they. 16And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus said Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray you, hinder you from coming to me: 17For I will promote you to very great honor, and I will do whatever you say to me: come therefore, I pray you, curse me this people. 18And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. 19Now therefore, I pray you, tarry you also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say to me more. 20And God came to Balaam at night, and said to him, If the men come to call you, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say to you, that shall you do.

21And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

The Angel and Balaam’s Donkey

22And God’s anger was kindled because he went:

and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him.

Now he was riding on his ass, and his two servants were with him.

23And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way,

and his sword drawn in his hand:

and the ass turned aside out of the way,

and went into the field:

and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.

24But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

25And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD,

she thrust herself to the wall,

and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall:

and he smote her again.

26And the angel of the LORD went further,

and stood in a narrow place,

where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.

27And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD,

she fell down under Balaam:

and Balaam’s anger was kindled,

and he smote the ass with a staff.

28And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam,

What have I done to you, that you have smitten me these three times?

29And Balaam said to the ass,

Because you have mocked me:

I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill you.

30And the ass said to Balaam,

Am not I your ass, on which you have ridden ever since I was your to this day?

was I ever wont to do so to you? And he said, No.

31Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face. 32And the angel of the LORD said to him, Why have you smitten your ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand you, because your way is perverse before me: 33And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain you, and saved her alive. 34And Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that you stood in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease you, I will get me back again. 35And the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

36And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him to a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast. 37And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not earnestly send to you to call you? why came you not to me? am I not able indeed to promote you to honor? 38And Balaam said to Balak, See, I am come to you: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God puts in my mouth, that shall I speak. 39And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kirjathhuzoth. 40And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.

41And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that there he might see the utmost part of the people.

NUMBERS 23 : Balaam’s First Oracle

1And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. 2And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 3And Balaam said to Balak, Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatever he shows me I will tell you. And he went to an high place. 4And God met Balaam: and he said to him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 5And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak. 6And he returned to him, and, see, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 7And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. 8How shall I curse, whom God has not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD has not defied? 9For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: see, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. 10Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! 11And Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have blessed them altogether. 12And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD has put in my mouth?

Balaam’s Second Oracle

13And Balak said to him, Come, I pray you, with me to another place, from from where you may see them: you shall see but the utmost part of them, and shall not see them all: and curse me them from there. 14And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 15And he said to Balak, Stand here by your burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. 16And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again to Balak, and say thus. 17And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, What has the LORD spoken?

18And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; listen to me, you son of Zippor:

19God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said, and shall he not do it? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he has blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 21He has not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither has he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 22God brought them out of Egypt; he has as it were the strength of an unicorn. 23Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What has God worked! 24Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. 25And Balak said to Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 26But Balaam answered and said to Balak, Told not I you, saying, All that the LORD speaks, that I must do? 27And Balak said to Balaam, Come, I pray you, I will bring you to another place; peradventure it will please God that you may curse me them from there. 28And Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, that looks toward Jeshimon. 29And Balaam said to Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 30And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.

Numbers 24 : Balaam’s Third Oracle

1And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 2And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came on him. 3And he took up his parable, and said,

Balaam the son of Beor has said,

and the man whose eyes are open has said:

4He has said, which heard the words of God,

which saw the vision of the Almighty,

falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

Trance

denotes any state of awareness or consciousness other than normal waking consciousness.

Trance states may occur involuntarily and unbidden.

The term trance may be associated with

hypnosis,

meditation,

magic,

flow,

and prayer.

It may also be related to the earlier generic term,

altered states of consciousness, which is no longer used in “consciousness studies” discourse.

Trance in its modern meaning comes from an earlier meaning

of “a dazed,

half-conscious or insensible condition or state of fear”,

via the Old French transe “fear of evil”,

from the Latin transīre “to cross”, “pass over”.

This definition is now obsolete.^[1]

The following are some examples of trance states:

Enchantment: a psychological state induced by (or as if induced by) a magical incantation

A state of mind in which consciousness is fragile and voluntary action is poor or missing

A state resembling deep sleep

Capture: attract; cause to be enamored; “She/he captured all the men’s hearts”; in the sense of entranced

A condition of apparent sleep or unconsciousness, with marked physiological characteristics, in which the body of the subject is thought by certain people to be liable to possession

An out-of-body experience in which one feels they have passed out of the body into another state of being, a rapture, an ecstasy.

In a general way, the entranced conditions thus defined are divided into varying degrees of a negative, unconscious state, and into progressive gradations of a positive, conscious, illumining condition.

A state of hyper or enhanced suggestibility.

An induced or spontaneous sleep-like condition of an altered state of consciousness, which is thought by certain people to permit the subject’s physical body to be utilized by disembodied spirits or entities as a means of expression

An altered state of awareness induced via hypnosis in which unconscious or dissociated responses to suggestion are enhanced in quality and increased in degree

A state induced by the use of hypnosis; the person accepts the suggestions of the hypnotist

A state of consciousness characterized by extreme dissociation often to the point of appearing unconscious.

Trance conditions include

all the different states of mind,

emotions,

moods

and daydreams that human beings experience.

All activities which engage a human involve the filtering of information coming into sense modalities,

and this influences brain functioning and consciousness.

Therefore, trance may be understood as a way for the mind to change the way it filters information in order to provide more efficient use of the mind’s resources.

Trance states may also be accessed or induced by

various modalities and is a way of accessing the unconscious mind for the purposes of relaxation, healing, intuition and inspiration.

There is an extensive documented history of trance as evidenced by the case-studies of anthropologists and ethnologists and associated and derivative disciplines.

Hence trance may be perceived as endemic to the human condition and a Human Universal.

Principles of trance are being explored and documented as are methods of trance induction.

Benefits of trance states are being explored by medical and scientific inquiry. Many traditions and rituals employ trance.

Trance also has a function in religion and mystical experience.

Castillo (1995) states that:

“Trance phenomena result from the behavior of intense focusing of attention, which is the key psychological mechanism of trance induction.

Adaptive responses, including institutionalized forms of trance,

are ‘tuned’ into neural networks in the brain

and depend to a large extent on the characteristics of culture.

Culture-specific organizations exist in the structure of individual neurons and in the organizational formation of neural networks.”

Hoffman (1998: p. 9) states that: “Trance is still conventionally defined as a state of reduced consciousness, or a somnolent state. However, the more recent anthropological definition, linking it to ‘altered states of consciousness’ (Charles Tart), is becoming increasingly accepted.”

Hoffman (1998, p. 9) asserts that: “…the trance state should be discussed in the plural, because there is more than one altered state of consciousness significantly different from everyday consciousness.”

5How goodly are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel! 6As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD has planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. 7He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 8God brought him forth out of Egypt; he has as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. 9He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesses you, and cursed is he that curses you.

Balak Dismisses Balaam

10And Balak’s anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse my enemies, and, behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times. 11Therefore now flee you to your place: I thought to promote you to great honor; but, see, the LORD has kept you back from honor. 12And Balaam said to Balak, Spoke I not also to your messengers which you sent to me, saying, 13If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of my own mind; but what the LORD said, that will I speak? 14And now, behold, I go to my people: come therefore, and I will advertise you what this people shall do to your people in the latter days.

Balaam’s Fourth Oracle

15And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor has said, and the man whose eyes are open has said:

16He has said, which heard the words of God, and

knew the knowledge of the most High,

which saw the vision of the Almighty,

falling into a trance,

but having his eyes open:

17I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not near: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 18And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. 19Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remains of the city.

Acacia

Vachellia nilotica (commonly known as gum arabic tree,^[5]

babul,^[6]

thorn mimosa,

Egyptian acacia or thorny acacia^[7])

is a tree in the family Fabaceae.

It is native to Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent.

It is also a Weed of National Significance and is an invasive species of significant concern in Australia.

This tree was originally the type species of the genus Acacia, which derives its name from ακακία (akakia), the name given by early Greek botanist-physician Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40–90) to this tree as a medicinal, in his book Materia Medica.^[8]

The renaming of the genus to Vachellia remains controversial.^[9]

The genus name Acacia derives from the Greek word for its characteristic thorns, ακις (akis, thorn).^[10]

The species name nilotica was given by Linnaeus from this tree’s best-known range along the Nile river.

The plant V. nilotica then, in turn, became the type species for the Linnaean Acacia genus (not all of which have thorns, even though they are named for them).

For the ongoing reclassification of this and other species historically classified under genus Acacia, see the Acacia.

Vachellia nilotica is a tree 5–20 m high with a dense spheric crown, stems and branches usually dark to black coloured, fissured bark, grey-pinkish slash, exuding a reddish low quality gum.

The tree has thin, straight, light, grey spines in axillary pairs, usually in 3 to 12 pairs, 5 to 7.5 cm (3 in) long in young trees, mature trees commonly without thorns.

The leaves are bipinnate, with 3–6 pairs of pinnulae and 10–30 pairs of leaflets each, tomentose, rachis with a gland at the bottom of the last pair of pinnulae.

Flowers in globulous heads 1.2–1.5 cm in diameter of a bright golden-yellow color, set up either axillary or whorly on peduncles 2–3 cm long located at the end of the branches.

Pods are strongly constricted, hairy, white-grey, thick and softly tomentose. Its seeds number approximately 8000/kg.^[11]

Uses

In part of its range smallstock consume the pods and leaves,^[13] but elsewhere it is also very popular with cattle.

Pods are used as a supplement to poultry rations in India.

Dried pods are particularly sought out by animals on rangelands.

In India branches are commonly lopped for fodder.

Pods are best fed dry as a supplement, not as a green fodder.

In West Africa, the pods and leaves are considered to have anthelminthic properties on small ruminants and this has been confirmed by in vitro experiments on nematodes.^[13]

The tender twig of this plant is used as a toothbrush in south-east Africa, Pakistan and India.^[14]

The exudate gum of this tree is known as gum arabic and has been collected from the pharaonic times for the manufacture of medicines, dyes and paints. In the present commercial market, gum arabic is defined as the dried exudate from the trunks and branches of Senegalia (Acacia) senegal or Vachellia (Acacia) seyal in the family Leguminosae (Fabaceae).^[15]^:4 The gum of A. nilotica is also referred to in India as Amaravati gum.^[16]

V. nilotica makes a good protective hedge because of its thorns.^[17]

The tree’s wood is “very durable if water-seasoned” and its uses include tool handles and lumber for boats.^[17] The wood has a density of about 1170 kg/m³.^[2]

There are 5000–16000 seeds/kg.^[18]

the-tree-of-life-acacia-nilotica

The plant Acacia Nilotica.

A tree that grows abundantly along the Nile River and was glorified by the Egyptians.

DMT

Acacia Nilotica contains Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT.

DMT is not a rare topic amidst the articles on Collective Evolution and I advise all of you to check out the articles about the mind-blowing experiences that derive from DMT trips.

This is the same compound that is used in shamanic rituals in the Amazon with the drink Ayahuasca.

Today, the idea that DMT can further ones experience on earth as well as having many healing qualities (both physical and mental), is slowly becoming more and more recognized.

At this point I affirm that we are just at the beginning of a journey that many civilizations have taken before us, the Egyptians included.

Acacia Nilotica is portrayed hugely in Egyptian mythology.

It is referred to as the tree of life, and from under this tree the first gods of Egypt were born.

Osiris, god of the underworld, rebirth and the spirit was also born from an Acacia Nilotica tree.

Osiris is also believed to live inside the spirit of all Acacia Nilotica trees.

This is a very similar belief as held by the Amazonian Shamans and the people who have experienced Ayahuasca.

A huge majority of DMT users talk about the “mother spirit” who guides the individual on the trip and teaches them what they need to learn on that specific trip.

I believe that the Egyptians partook in the Acacia trip, and this was seen in the same light as the way Native Amazonians see Ayahuasca.

DMT would have only been used for spiritual purposes, in order to gain enlightenment and talk to the “gods.”

In their case the guiding spirit that they found in their trips was Osiris.

It is interesting to note that on the outer-body experience that is associated with DMT

many people have found themselves seeing deceased friends and family,

therefore Acacia Nilotica is a fitting symbol of the underworld and the spirit.

The majority of DMT users also find a sense of rebirth after their trips, also being a fitting characteristic of the Acacia Nilotica.

In modern archaeology of Egypt, Acacia Nilotica has been found in a huge percentage of the tombs unearthed.

I find it highly unlikely the Egyptians did not recognize the uses of this plant and I believe the evidence speaks for itself.

Yet Acacia Nilotica was not just revered in Egypt.

The plant grew throughout the middle-east and its symbolism exists even to this day.

To the east of Egypt, Judaism flourished, and once again Acacia Nilotica has huge symbolism.

In the book of Moses, it is said that the tree that was set afire in front of Moses was an Acacia Nilotica tree.

This is fitting as the Acacia can be found in over 3 different sub-species (all containing DMT) in the Jordan Valley and Sinai Desert.

In both Hebrew and Judaism, the Acacia was recognized as Sacred and was revered as a building material saved only for temples and the likes.

According to Judaism, the ark of the covenant was made of Acacia Nilotica.

Again I believe that Judaism was heavily influenced by DMT and its connection to the “spirit world.”

In pre-Islamic Mecca, the goddess of their religion was also Acacia Nilotica and was so similar to the Egyptian beliefs around Osiris that there is nothing really to explain on the matter.

Moving forward through history to the modern day, Acacia Nilotica is still revered in society by its “Elite.”

Since its founding the Freemasons have placed heavy reverence on the Acacia Nilotica, claiming that is sacred properties of the tree represent the purity of the soul.

The Freemasons claim that they received this information from the last of the great Egyptian thinkers.

If the Freemasons are really some sort of utopian superpower in the world, it is clear why Acacia Nilotica is rarely recognized as a Psychedelic.

If the majority of the world were to experience the spiritual journey users undertake on DMT, they would no longer be bound by the chains of the ego or fear.

As Aldous Huxley explains in his book ‘Doors of Perception,’

the world of Men and Women would be rid of the religious symbolism

and become one with each other and in-tune with the world around them.

I think that a substance so revered in such crucial times in Spiritual history has nearly been lost. I believe that a resurgence of the spiritual art of using Acacia Nilotica for its DMT characteristics would help in the Spiritual path we are fighting to stay upon and would strengthen the consciousness of our society. I do not think that it is mere coincidence that this substance has been chosen by these civilizations to symbolize purity, rebirth, spirituality and the underworld. If you would like to do more research on DMT as well as Acacia Nilotica I would recommend the book ‘Gnostic Visions: Uncovering the Greatest Secret of the Ancient World’ by Luke Myers.

Crucifixion

A piece of acacia wood was located between the bones and the head of the nail, presumably to keep the condemned from freeing his foot by sliding it over the nail. His legs were found broken, possibly to hasten his death.

It is thought that because in Roman times iron was rare, the nails were removed from the dead body to conserve costs.

According to Haas, this could help to explain why only one nail has been found, as the tip of the nail in question was bent in such a way that it could not be removed.

Judges 5 :

And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek.

And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.

2 Peter 2 (Continued) :: Profane and Blasphemous Seducers

10But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness; 16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man’s voice forbade the madness of the prophet.

Upload your brain to the cloud

“ENTER THE CLOUD”

By that time “computers will have human-level intelligence,” (Predicted to occur by 2029) Kurzweil said in an interview with South by Southwest. “That leads to computers having human intelligence, our putting them inside our brains, connecting them to the cloud, expanding who we are..”

The joining together of human beings and computer technology at this level, he maintained, will make people “funnier,” “sexier,” and will “exemplify all the things that we value in humans to a greater degree.”

1 Corinthians : Our Bodies are Members of Christ

15Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16What? know you not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, said he, shall be one flesh.17But he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

18For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

“Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?” “Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount? “So before we get carried away, let’s read our Bible now,” (said, to cheers).

“FOLKS HAVEN’T BEEN READING THEIR BIBLE.”

“Or should we go with Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our Defense Department would survive its application.”

~ Obama

20For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22But it is happened to them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

Moses Appoints Leaders

9And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone: 10The LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. 11(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!) 12How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 13Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. 14And you answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good for us to do. 15So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.

16And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brothers, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 17You shall not respect persons in judgment; but you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it. 18And I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.

Twelve Spies Sent Out (Numbers 13:1-16)

19And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which you saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea. 20And I said to you, You are come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God does give to us. 21Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your fathers has said to you; fear not, neither be discouraged. 22And you came near to me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. 23And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe: 24And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out. 25And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God does give us.

Israel’s Rebellion (Numbers 14:1-12)

26Notwithstanding you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God: 27And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us. 28Where shall we go up? our brothers have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there. 29Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them. 30The LORD your God which goes before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes; 31And in the wilderness, where you have seen how that the LORD your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came into this place. 32Yet in this thing you did not believe the LORD your God, 33Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in a cloud by day.

Daniel 11 : The Tyranny of the Western King

30For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. 31And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate.

15When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoever reads, let him understand:)

32And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34Now when they shall fall, they shall be helped with a little help: but many shall join to them with flatteries. 35And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

36And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done. 37Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces^(H4581) and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 39Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

40And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. 41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. 42He shall stretch forth his hand also on the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 44But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. 45And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

The human head was revered by the Celts.

They believed that the head, not the heart housed the soul of a person.

In battle, heads of slain enemy warriors were severed and avidly collected as reported by the Greek historian Diodorus Siculus (60-30BC) “…they cut off the heads of enemies slain in battle and attach them to the necks of their horses. The heads of the most distinguished enemies they embalm in cedar oil and display with pride to strangers…” This practice is frequently referred to in Celtic mythology. After his first battle, Cuchhulainn had 3 heads attached to his chariot, 9 heads in one hand and 10 in the other. Don’t mess with Cuchhulainn!

Celtic belief also held that the severed head could continue to live, eat, talk and even sing independently of the body. It was thought that they could foretell the future or recall the past. Again mythology gives us the story of Bendigeidfran, Bran the Blessed, whose head was cut from his poisoned body and carried to and island off the coast of Wales, where it continued to speak prophetically for 87 years. It was eventually buried at the White Mount or Hill in London.

The association of severed human heads and skulls with sacred Wells and Springs, especially those with healing properties, was very ancient and common to the early Celtic world in general. It was believed that the power of the head would increase the power of the water and visa versa. Later, when head lopping was not so fashionable, the cult of the head remained important and heads carved in stone or metal would often act as a substitute for human skulls.

1 Chronicles 10: Saul’s Overthrow and Death

8And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa. 9And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armor, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings to their idols, and to the people. 10And they put his armor in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Dagon.

REVELATION 13 : THE BEAST OUT OF THE SEA

1And I stood on the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads the name of blasphemy.2And the beast which I saw was like to a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. 3And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. 4And they worshipped the dragon which gave power to the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like to the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given to him to continue forty and two months. 6And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

19And woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20But pray you that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And except those days be shorten, there shall be no flesh saved; but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. 23Then if any man shall say to you, See, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before.

Balak = “devastator. waste, empty, void”

Zippor = “sparrow”

Red Sparrow movie

Jack Sparrow

In particular, sparrows were associated by the ancient Greeks with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, due to their perceived lustfulness, an association echoed by later writers such as Chaucer and Shakespeare.

Jesus’s use of “sparrows” as an example of divine providence in the Gospel of Matthew also inspired later references, such as that in Shakespeare’s Hamletand the Gospel hymn His Eye Is on the Sparrow.

Sparrows are represented in ancient Egyptian art very rarely, but an Egyptian hieroglyph is based on the house sparrow. The symbol had no phonetic value and was used as a determinative in words to indicate small, narrow, or bad.^[18]

3And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel. 4And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. 5He sent messengers therefore to Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me: 6Come now therefore, I pray you, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.

7And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand;

DIVINATION קֶסֶם qeçem, keh’-sem; 11x in 11

—(reward of) divination, divine sentence,

[Deuteronomy 18:10 KJV] 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination,[H7081] or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
[1 Samuel 15:23 KJV] 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft,[H7081] and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
[2 Kings 17:17 KJV] 17 And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination[H7081] and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
[Ezekiel 13:6 KJV] 6 They have seen vanity and lying divination,[H7081] saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
[Ezekiel 21:21-22 KJV] 21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination:[H7081] he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver. 22 At his right hand was the divination[H7081] for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.

and they came to Balaam, and spoke to him the words of Balak. 8And he said to them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak to me: and the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam. 9And God came to Balaam, and said, What men are these with you? 10And Balaam said to God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me, saying, 11Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covers the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out. 12And God said to Balaam, You shall not go with them; you shall not curse the people: for they are blessed. 13And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said to the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuses to give me leave to go with you. 14And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went to Balak, and said, Balaam refuses to come with us.

21And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.

Now he was riding on his ass, and his two servants were with him. 23And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way. 24But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.

and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall: and he smote her again. 26And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left. 27And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 28And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said to Balaam, What have I done to you, that you have smitten me these three times? 29And Balaam said to the ass, Because you have mocked me: I would there were a sword in my hand, for now would I kill you. 30And the ass said to Balaam, Am not I your ass, on which you have ridden ever since I was your to this day? was I ever wont to do so to you? And he said, No.

Judges 15 : Samson Defeats the Philistines

3And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure. 4And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the middle between two tails. 5And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives. 6Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire. 7And Samson said to them, Though you have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease. 8And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelled in the top of the rock Etam.

9Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. 10And the men of Judah said, Why are you come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he has done to us. 11Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Know you not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that you have done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so have I done to them. 12And they said to him, We are come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me, that you will not fall on me yourselves. 13And they spoke to him, saying, No; but we will bind you fast, and deliver you into their hand: but surely we will not kill you. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.

14And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily on him, and the cords that were on his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. 15And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

16And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps on heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.

17And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi. 18And he was sore thirsty, and called on the LORD, and said, You have given this great deliverance into the hand of your servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? 19But God split an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water out of there; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: why he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi to this day. 20And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.

JAW  לְחִי lᵉchîy, lekh-ee’; 21 in 20

from an unused root meaning to be soft; the cheek (from its fleshiness);

hence, the jaw-bone:—cheek (bone), jaw (bone).

[Job 41:2 KJV] : God’s Power Shown in Creatures Leviathan

1Can you draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?

2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw[H3895] through with a thorn?

[Isaiah 30:28 KJV]

28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws[H3895] of the people, causing them to err.

29You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.

30And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

31For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

32And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay on him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.

33For Tophet is ordained of old; yes, for the king it is prepared; he has made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, does kindle it

[Ezekiel 29:4 KJV] : Judgment against Pharaoh

1In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 2Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:

3Speak, and say, Thus said the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the middle of his rivers, which has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.

4But I will put hooks in your jaws, [H3895] and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales, and I will bring you up out of the middle of your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers shall stick to your scales.

5And I will leave you thrown into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers: you shall fall on the open fields; you shall not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given you for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.

6And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

7When they took hold of you by your hand, you did break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned on you, you brake, and made all their loins to be at a stand.

[Ezekiel 38:4 KJV]  Prophecy against Gog & Magog

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws,[H3895] and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

[Hosea 11:4 KJV]  Out of Egypt I called my Son

4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws,[H3895] and I laid meat unto them.

[Micah 5:1 KJV]  The Mountain of the Lord’s Temple

1 Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.[H3895]

2But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall he come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

3Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travails has brought forth: then the remnant of his brothers shall return to the children of Israel.

4And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great to the ends of the earth.

5And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.

6And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our borders.

The Remnant of Jacob

7And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the middle of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers on the grass, that tarries not for man, nor waits for the sons of men.

8And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the middle of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treads down, and tears in pieces, and none can deliver.

9Your hand shall be lifted up on your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off.

10And it shall come to pass in that day, said the LORD, that I will cut off your horses out of the middle of you, and I will destroy your chariots:

11And I will cut off the cities of your land, and throw down all your strong holds:

12And I will cut off witchcrafts out of your hand; and you shall have no more soothsayers:

13Your graven images also will I cut off, and your standing images out of the middle of you; and you shall no more worship the work of your hands.

14And I will pluck up your groves out of the middle of you: so will I destroy your cities.

15And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury on the heathen, such as they have not heard.
