Organized Crime: The Business Model Of Big Pharma ~ Part II
by Peter C. Gotzsche
7 Johnson & Johnson Fined More Than $1.1 Billion In 2012
A jury found that the company and its subsidiary Janssen had downplayed and hidden risks associated with its antipsychotic drug Risperdal (risperidone). The judge found nearly 240,000 violations under Arkansas’ Medicaid-fraud law. Jurors returned a quick verdict in favor of the state, which had argued that Janssen lied about the potentially life-threatening side effects of Risperdal which, like other antipsychotic drugs, include death, strokes, seizures, weight gain and diabetes. The FDA had ordered Janssen to issue a letter to doctors correcting an earlier letter saying the drug didn’t increase the risk of developing diabetes. Janssen continued to maintain after the verdict that it didn’t break the law. Previous verdicts against the company a few months earlier included a $327 million civil penalty in South Carolina and a $158 million settlement in Texas. (more…)

Organized Crime: The Business Model Of Big Pharma
by Peter C. Gotzsche
Drug companies never talk about the benefits and harms of their drugs but about their efficacy and safety. Words create what they describe and the preferred semantics is seductive. It makes you think it can only be good for you to take drugs, as they are both efficacious and safe. Another reason why patients and doctors generally trust their drugs as being both efficacious and safe is that they think they have been carefully tested by the drug industry and carefully scrutinized by the drug regulatory agencies using high standards before they are allowed onto the market.
It’s the other way round. In contrast to food and water, which are not only pretty harmless but something we need to survive, drugs are generally neither efficacious nor safe. Paracelsus stated 500 years ago that all drugs are poisons and that the right dose differentiates a poison from a remedy. Drugs always cause harm. If they didn’t, they would be inert and therefore unable to give any benefit. For all drugs, it is therefore essential to find a dose that causes more good than harm in most patients. Even when we succeed with this, most patients will still not achieve any benefit from the drugs they take. (more…)

I’ve Been Here Before!
by Nathan Rapport
There is a pause in the merriment as your friends gaze at you, wondering why you are staring, open-mouthed in amazement.
You explain, “I have the strangest feeling of having lived through this very same event before. I can’t tell when, but I’m positive I witnessed this same scene of this particular gathering at some time in the past!”
This experience will have happened to many of you.
Emerson, in his lecture, refers to the “. . . startling experience which almost every person confesses in daylight, that particular passages of conversation and action have occurred to him in the same order before, whether dreaming or waking, a suspicion that they have been with precisely these persons in precisely this room, and heard precisely this dialogue, at some former hour, they know not when.” (more…)

Spiritual Therapy On The Inner Planes ~ Part II
by Ernest L. Norman
Greetings to you again, brother and sister. Your earth scientist would be very surprised if he knew how vast is the distance which
he calls space,-one you spanned in a split second of time and enables you to arrive here upon our planet of Eros and in our city of Parhelion. I see that we are standing again in the ward where we left off our previous transmission; but before renewing our discussion in psychiatry and obsession, let me say that your arrival here in this particular city was timed at such a moment so that you would be able to witness at least a part of some of the ceremonies attendant to a conclave of various forces which came from the different planetary systems. These conclaves or gatherings express a part of the science which is taught here in Parhelion. (more…)

The Power From Within
by James Allen
What you are, so is your world. Everything in the universe is resolved into your own inward experience. It matters little what is without, for it is all a reflection of your own state of consciousness.
It matters everything what you are within, for everything without will be mirrored and colored accordingly.
All that you positively know is contained in your own experience; all that you ever will know must pass through the gateway of experience, and so become part of yourself.
Your own thoughts, desires, and aspirations comprise your world, and, to you, all that there is in the universe of beauty and joy and bliss, or of ugliness and sorrow and pain, is contained within yourself. (more…)

Brotherhood Of The Seven Rays (Lemuria)
by Brother Philip
The Origin of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays
Lemuria is the name for the last part of the great Pacific continent of Mu. The actual destruction of Mu and its submergence began before 30,000 B.C. This action continued for many thousands of years until the final portion of old Mu known as Lemuria was also submerged in a series of new disasters that were terminated between 10,000 and 12,000 B.C. This occurred just prior to the destruction of Poseidonis, the last remnant of the Atlantic continent, Atlantis. Lord Aramu-Muru (God Meru) was one of the great Lemurian sages and the Keeper of the Scrolls during the last days of doomed Mu.
It was well known to the Masters of Lemuria that a final catastrophe would cause gigantic tidal waves to take the last of their land down into the angry sea and oblivion. Those working on the Left Hand Path continued diabolic experiments and heeded not “the handwriting on the wall,” just as today, on Earth, millions of inhabitants are continuing to “eat, drink, and be merry,” even though the signs of the times are clearly discerned by the true people of the Infinite Father.

Atlantis And Crystals ~ Part III
by author unknown
The Second Moon Of Atlantis
That which was known as the ‘Second Moon of Atlantis’, the Crystalline Poser Grids and Fire Crystals came under governmental control, and their usage became altered as the Aryan insider knowledge of the programming grew. The Atla-Ra were able to defer the usage initially for war purposes, but in time were stymied.
Now as we have mentioned earlier, that termed the Second Moon of Atlantis, was in fact a massive crystalline satellite. It was of Arcturian construct and managed by the Priest Scientists of the Law of One. The Crystalline Satellite was an enormous unmanned sphere of brilliant engineering, approximately five miles in diameter. It had been in use since the Golden Age of Atlantis, and served myriad benevolent purposes. It amplified and controlled the various crystal beams sent from the Fire, Healing and Energy Crystals. It was somewhat of a computerized macro-chip that refracted, amplified and reflected powerfully refined beams of energy for use in agriculture, weather control, tide control, healing temples, regeneration temples and the enhanced Ley-energy systems generated by the Crystal Poser System. It loomed in the skies over Atlantis and appeared as a golden “Harvest Moon”, and thus was known as the “Second Moon” of Atlantis. A rainbow kaleidoscopic energy band of antigravity plasma swirled around the sphere, and often appeared as what you now term the Aurora or Northern Lights. The Satellite Crystal Moon did not orbit the Earth, it moved as programmed, self-directed, constantly shifting locations in order to perform its myriad tasks over Atlantis, Africa and the eastern seaboard of Brazil.

The Soul’s Unfinished Business
by Roger Woolger, Ph.D.
Working With The Story Behind The Story
The value of remembering past lifetimes is frequently that feelings long buried or blocked can come to the surface and be released. Old fears, as we have seen, can be re-run and found to be baseless: we find that they no longer apply today, that they are simply old stories somehow lodged into the psyche. Generally speaking, it is in lifetimes where there were traumas and severe struggle, or where the life span was cut short, that phobic or traumatic patterns are most likely to be passed on. One of the meanings of the word karma is actually “work”; in contemporary usage I often translate it simply as “the soul’s unfinished business.” The things we failed to do, the setbacks we experienced in one lifetime, seem to be passed on as the soul’s ongoing tasks—work to be redone by the newly incarnating consciousness as it returns to this world in new circumstances and with new opportunities.

Steps To The Stars
by Timothy Good
It was the evening of 4 July 1949. For Daniel Fry, a rocket test technician employed by Aerojet General Corporation at the vast and remote White Sands 
Proving Grounds in New Mexico, it was to be an Independence Day with a difference.
Fry had planned on going into the town of Las Cruces to celebrate with colleagues, but having missed the last motor pool bus, he went back to his room and began reading a textbook on heat transfer, a problem of considerable relevance to the design of rocket motors. ‘I was soon to learn however,’ said Fry, ‘that the problems of heat transfer can become as uncomfortable physically as they are interesting academically.’ At 20.00 the building’s air conditioning system apparently broke down and it became unbearably hot. He decided to go for a walk, hoping it would be cooler outside.
Heading in the direction of an old static test stand, where Aerojet at the time were mounting their largest rocket engine for tests, Fry then decided to take a different route that led off towards the base of the Organ Mountains. Scanning the evening sky, he was surprised to notice one star, then another, then two more, ‘going out’. Suddenly, the outline of an object of some sort, blending with the dark blue of the sky, appeared to be headed in his direction. ‘As it continued to come toward me, I felt a strong inclination to run,’ he explained, ‘but experience in rocketry had taught me that it is foolish to run from an approaching missile until you are sure of its trajectory, since there is no way to judge the trajectory of an approaching object if you are running.’ (more…)

Spiritual Therapy On The Inner Planes
by Ernest L. Norman
. . . we are about to go into this large room I might say that it concerns part of the previous book which was given you on the
planet Venus, and at which time was omitted, although this therapy work is necessarily a function performed in conjunction with the planet Venus. We refer to the part which relates to people who have become mentally disarranged, and have various mental aberrations of such nature that it is necessary to have certain special types of treatment before the proper rest and convalescence; thus spiritual therapy is applied. The corrective therapy is applied through various scientific apparatus of a very highly evolved nature, of which the earth planet scientist knows little or nothing. I believe that in your past few years of experience, you have had some inkling of the nature of these types of apparatus and of the nature of the things which they can do. I shall attempt at this point, before we are through with this ward, to go into the relative values of a science which has, at different times, been practiced rather loosely on your earth planet.
