Greetings, dear ones, I am Kryon of Magnetic Service. It seems like only a moment ago that I told you there would be changes in the room, and I can feel them. The attribute of those from the other side of the veil is compassion. There are always questions, however. Some ask, “How do I know who is visiting me? I’m afraid of this or that and when I channel and I open my mouth, I don’t know what’s going to happen. Do I allow any energy in the universe to pop in?” And we say to you, oh, how 3D of you to think that the angels standing around you would ever let that happen! If it’s compassionate energy, it is from God. If it is not, it is from you. It’s that simple. Do not envision in your mind a plethora of dark energies waiting to pounce upon you, for this is a man-made suggestion. You’ve humanized God so much that you’re not even sure when Spirit takes your hand.
Let tonight change that. Know that wherever you go, you could call it what you wish, but there is an entourage with you. It’s so difficult for me to explain soul fragmentation, for it sounds like a negative thing, but it’s beautiful. There’s always three of you all the time, wherever you go. Oh, there are actually more, but three represents the main group. One of them is the Higher-Self, which is your core. How can I explain the Higher-Self? It is the core, you. It is the part of you that vibrates higher. It is not above you, but rather it is in you, and this higher vibrating “you” opens a portal that is literally a connection and a handshake to Spirit. And that’s you. So that’s number one.
Then there’s the conscious mind that represents the biological you. Now there are two parts. How many do you need for a group? You see? There are things about the quantum you that you have barely, barely got into, including the field around you eight meters wide. The Human Being is amazing.
The other major part is the part of you that remains on my side of the veil that you totally deny. You see it as a guide or helper that you are very attached to. Instead, it is the constant that connects you to God – always, wherever you are.
I want to talk about what is currently happening on the planet and I would like to give you, in this, the first full channelling of 2012, what I would call the attributes about the energy visiting you now. This energy is changing. Those who are in the seats in this particular room, and will be in the seats in the room tomorrow [speaking of those in the Okanagan Valley], will receive the same message. This represents one of the few times that I will repeat a message in the same language. It needs to be repeated. Transcriptions will be taken and many will hear it.
After my explanation, old souls will know more about the experiences that they are having and will understand more about what is causing them. This is given in love and there’s no fearful thing here. You sit in a safe place.
The energy that is being visited upon this earth has been expected. The Ancients predicted it and we have given you recent channellings, even the channeling given in that country which you would call Peru, about the shift of what we would call the movement of the feathered serpent [first presented in Kryon, Book 8 in 2000]. There’s an actual polarity shift happening between the male and female energy of the planet. The Northern Hemisphere, which has always been masculine-heavy, is changing. The Southern Hemisphere, which has not been biased in that way, is changing. The wisdom of the Ancients in the Southern Hemisphere is beginning to replace the wisdom of the Ancients in the North. And you’re starting to see a softer Human Being.
Spiritually, the old souls are alerted to this shift first and are beginning to receive biological changes. You expected it and it’s here. This process is one that is felt by the entire planet. Those disruptions you see in countries right now, which have not had disruptions for hundreds of years, are a result of this change – for this is what takes place when humanity begins to have more compassion, when they wish to unify more than separate, and new thoughts and wisdom start to occur.
This new consciousness creates new inventions – higher science, higher thinking and solutions to those things that you have called basic Human issues. Population explosion, food, water, power generation – all of these things are going to change. There will be new thinking, new thought and new revelation in the next two generations, even some of it in the next 18 years. But a shift is occurring and I want to tell you who’s going to feel it first. It’s those in the chairs, listening to my voice and reading this, who have been on this planet so many times that they are used to the old energy. Old soul, you’re starting toremember. You’re starting to remember what it used to be like and what it can be like again. Old soul, you are beginning to recalibrate and this is cellular change in 3D.
These energy shifts we speak of are not going to be some kind of New Age esoteric magic. Instead, you’re going to see it clearly grounded in governments and in science. You’re going to see it all over the planet as energy begins to shift away from what anyone expected. Slowly. I’ve said it before. Slowly, there’ll be countries that have been in isolation for years that will open their gates. You better take some pictures now, because things will never be the same. Slowly, they will join the rest of you, and their children will meet your children and you’ll realize you have things in common and not the low energy attributes that you have been told.
The recalibration of the old soul is the subject of this and tomorrow’s channel. So the channels will be similar and not a continuation. You don’t need Part A and Part B. I’ll give you everything today and everything tomorrow. I want you to know what you can expect and what some of you are already working with: Recalibration. Your biology has to shift. It has to absorb and work with, and be part of, a softer energy. If it’s going to do that, there has to be a recalibration of the core, or the center of the energy.
Those who have studied the lattice, representing the patterned energies around you, know of calibration. You know of the energies of balance that are required for a Human to start changing themselves. You know about that which is body rejuvenation, mentioned even this day about how cells divide and how every single kind of cell in your body, including brain and heart and skin, regenerate. They are designed to regenerate and if they’re lost, they’re designed to regenerate, and if they’re damaged, they’re designed to regenerate. Oh, I say it again, Human, don’t you find it odd that the starfish can grow back a limb and you can’t? Don’t you think that’s odd? This will change.
Well, if everything rejuvenates, don’t you find it odd that a disease can start to change how a Human thinks, and the scientist will tell you that their brain cells are starting to die or move or change or be poisoned, and the Human even loses the memory of love? Where is the rejuvenation? Where is the repair? That’s not how DNA is designed, dear ones. Cells are designed to go back to the blueprint and create a new, fresh cell. That’s how it’s designed! Your science is going to see that and your spiritual bodies are going to see that, and the ones who sit in the chair have got to recalibrate to work with it.
The recalibration is automatic. You don’t have to ask for it. Let me repeat that. It’s going to happen because you’re an old soul, and that’s why you’re here. You don’t have to ask for it. But the recalibration is what you expected and what you’re remembering. But perhaps it’s not what you expect, exactly?
It’s uncomfortable! Now some of you will know where this message is going when we start giving you the attributes that I would say are less than positive, which some of you will experience in the recalibration process. Now, this is some of you, not all. Every single Human Being has their own unique path, so they will experience these things in their own way. So this is not a generic list of what is going to happen to all old souls. These are, instead, potentials given of many symptoms of recalibration that old souls may experience, and who are here and ready to move forward on this planet.
Some of you will have dizziness. It’s an attribute of recalibration. That’s all it is and it will pass. But it’s worrisome, for those who will become dizzy will also become disoriented and that might even cause a fall. So what do you do with this new knowledge? Number one – know you’re not catching a horrible brain disease. Number two – walk more carefully! Does that make sense to you?
There are other things. You’re going to have trouble sleeping – more trouble than normal. You’re not going to have one awakening, but rather two or more. So already some of you, who have been feeling these things, know what’s going on. It’s recalibration.
The first question the Human asks is, “How long will this occur?” The answer is, as long as it takes, oh dense one. [Kryon smile] I think you get the idea. The recalibration will take place as long as it takes, and if you fight it, it will take longer. Worse yet, if you drug yourself against it, it’s just going to keep happening. Celebrate it and move forward with it. Tell your cellular structure you understand and move with it, not against it. This will quicken it and it will pass even sooner.
Every single biology [Human] in the room is different, and now we bring up something that we have not brought up for some time, but you need to hear it. What works for you in health is based almost completely and totally upon your Akashic inheritance. Where did you spent the most lifetimes? Perhaps it was in Asia? Perhaps India or Tibet? Perhaps it was in the Southern Hemisphere? Each of those places and cultures will have had different food, which worked to keep you balanced and healthy. Yet, here you are in the Northern Hemisphere, in this lifetime. What I want you to know is that you are significantly influenced by the kind of diet that you used to have [in your past lives].
Perhaps you were vegan. Perhaps you ate only grains. Therefore, your cells will crave that diet to feel balanced. Do you understand? There are others who come mainly from North America, from Europe, and who never had those kinds of diets from Asia or the south. Therefore, they won’t have any trouble at all with the food of the land. Listen: There is no one, generic answer to the question:“What should I eat for Spiritual health?” There are no “shoulds.” Instead, there are good signals from “innate” inside you, which gives insight as to the most healthy things for your own body. In other words, listen to your cells!
Now, why do I mention this? Because you’re going to get advice from people on what to eat to correct what’s wrong with you as you recalibrate. So I’m going to tell you right now, ignore them. Instead, go inside and let your own Akashic Record tell you what is going to work for you. Don’t be surprised if some of you come up allergic to some things you’ve always eaten. I will tell you: Your biology is recalibrating. This attribute will be necessary for you to move forward, for you to shift to the place where you can be balanced with the most wisdom.
Many of you might not like some processed food, because you’re not used to it in your Akash. Do you see what I’m saying? If you’re going to pull the Shamanic energy up from the depths of the wisdom that you have learned and walked through over and over through past history, some things are going to come with it – like your balanced diet, for instance – and you’re going to have to deal with it. Don’t fight it.
Expect these things. They’re there for you to see and feel. See them for what they are: recalibration. “Dear Spirit,” you might say, “thank you for this recalibration, for caring enough about me to know that this is where I want to go and what I want to do.” Human Being, how you recalibrate now will determine how you will come back in the next life. You won’t have to go through this again – ever. Akashic inheritance is far more than the genealogy of those Human Beings you came from [parents]. You know this. An inherited Akash represents those things that you’ve experienced in all the lifetimes, regardless of your parents’ genes. Sometimes, these are the most predominant and heaviest things that you have to deal with. The ones in the chairs listening to my voice are beginning to deal with these things. So that is the other thing: Expect these past things to come forward for clearing.
Maybe you haven’t done very well with the life lessons in the last few lives, and this one you felt you would do better? You will, because the earth needs you. And it doesn’t need you encumbered with fear. Instead, it needs you to say to yourselves, “I accept this recalibration. No matter what is in my body at this moment, it can be gone. If it’s inappropriate, it can be gone. I stand as a piece of divinity on this planet – wise, appropriate, and I belong here. This is my time. Cellular structure, listen: If there’s anything inappropriate, let it be gone. Let it wash away with the waste. Let it go out because it is not seen as appropriate, it is not commensurate to the energy of the love of God. Let only compassionate things enter my consciousness.” This may be hard for some of you to say.
So now, let us look at those things that you can expect physically, which will not be as hard.
Number one: You are going to be able to deal with even the worst habits that you’ve ever had in your life, and get rid of them very quickly. It is a new energy of cooperation with the energy of the Lightworker. Did you get that? Oh, let us pause, please, and take just a moment for a deep breath, for I am dealing with those listening to my voice and reading this who have gone through thousands of years of persecution, suffering and torture. There are those who have been burned at the stake. This is because the energy you brought into the earth was not a match at all for what the earth was experiencing. Holy men and women would be asked to heal somebody one moment, and then to go to the edge of the village and jump off a cliff the next. Fear is that way. And you’re here. I know you. You’ve come back. However, now, this planet is starting to move so that all of the things that you have brought to this planet with your Akashic experience will begin to cooperate with the new energy.
Oh, take a deep breath, for enhanced manifestation begins – not immediately; not today; not this hour; but ever so slowly. This quantum clock starts to move in your direction. The earth is receiving a more gentle, passionate energy. That is what you were born with. That’s the tool that you have. In the past, this has been seen as odd and strange and representing weakness. You’ve been ostracized. Some of you have been cast out of your family. I know who’s here. I’m telling you that in this new energy, even they may look at you differently and see how you’ve started to become softer, not even knowing it’s them who have changed.
Things are going to work that didn’t before. Do you have a habit you’d like to break? Is it the way you think or the way you eat? Is it what you put into your body? Is it what you smoke? Is it killing you and you know it? You know who I’m talking to, dear one. Would you like to change it? So I’m telling you that what you do in this energy is going to respond in your body very differently, even if you tried it before.
Listen: Not one of you is allowed to say, old soul, wise one, you’re not allowed to say, “I tried that and it didn’t work.” If you do, it will be as a child talking who doesn’t know how things work. Instead, you’re going to say, “This time I know better. I will manifest it because the body is listening. It’s my time.”
So that’s what the new energy brings: Cooperation. Things are going to go better and flow better. They’re going to move forward instead of back. When you put out the word of what you wish to have in your life and the process begins, many of you are going to start seeing a positive return right away. Synchronicity is the key. Put yourself in places to have those things take place. Do not try to manifest something and then go into the closet and wait for it. Instead, put yourself in places where you would expect it to manifest. Do you understand? That is where the answers will be because there are others walking around with your solution! They’re looking for you, as you look for them. Don’t sequester yourself. In a recalibration mode, there’s a tendency to sequester, because you don’t feel quite right.
You’re going to catch more colds. Why would that be? But then you’re going to heal them quicker – and why would that be? The Human cold has always been a recalibration of the biological process. To catch a cold is needed, and that is why you cannot “cure” it. You must go through it. The common cold is a cyclical opportunity for the immune system to correct itself. Perhaps you didn’t know that? That’s why you’re not going to receive the chemistry to cure the common cold. It’s a recalibrating device within you. It builds up the system in a certain way that helps you, and it must be reoccurring. Don’t be shocked when you catch one, and say, “Well, I didn’t think that would happen because I just got through with the other one.” It’s recalibration.
These are the kinds of things we wanted to bring to you, so that you will know what is taking place and not fear it. There are many positive things representing a truly positive energy that is occurring on the planet and turning the corner of opportunity for humanity. This is an energy that supports the Lightworker. There’s no more upstream swim, dear ones.
Now, all of you are different, and I know who you are. Commitment is the key. You cannot do any of these things casually, but you knew that, didn’t you? When you commit to the manifestation of what you need in your life, the Universe is listening. When you receive messages from my side of the veil, I will tell you something that you already may know. We do not have a clock. So I speak to you in the now.
I see the energy in the room, and I see who is here. I see the old soul. I speak to you in the now. So it’s up to you what your clock does and how long it takes in your reality. In my reality, it’s already done… already accomplished, for the strongest potentials become manifested reality. Can you see that way? Can you walk out of here with it already done in your mind? There’s energy in this room that is infusing itself right now into the places it needs to go.
Spiritually, what can you expect? This recalibration is about being able to stay on this planet in health and in happiness without drama or fear. That is what the old soul remembers is the potential of this time.
[Pause]
My partner mentioned earlier in his communications [the lecture] that one of the greatest mysteries to him is why old souls have such profound self-worth issues. In his ignorance, he stands there and says he has no idea why this would be with old souls. I’ll tell you why: It’s because for hundreds of years, you’ve been beat up! Every time you move two steps forward, you’re beat back one – sometimes five. Then you come into this life expecting what? Very little. For some of you to even start a project, you have the little voice inside that says,“Oh, I knew that would happen.” You don’t expect much, do you? That’s because in an older energy, everything you did was met with resistance. Everything. Every time you wanted to make a positive suggestion about something that might help, you are told to get lost. Every time you saw spiritual wisdom in a complicated problem, nobody else saw it. They weren’t interested. You were isolated over and over. When things got hot, you called for a solution. Most others called for the sword. Now we are saying that this is changing.
So, spiritually, you are going to have to love yourself more, and now is your opportunity to do so because there is a Universe inside of you called cellular structure with trillions of pieces of DNA. These pieces are starting to react and are becoming ready for your instruction sets to be given. The hand is out, you might say, of your cellular structure, and the cells are saying, “Ok, you’re the boss. What are we going to do?”
Self-worth is a program. It’s a program! It’s information developed from experience, and it’s something that is learned. You can un-program it! All you have to do is tell yourself what you want. “Dear cellular structure,” you might say, “I deserve to be here. This is my time. I have things that others want. This is my time. I’m important in the scheme of the earth. I have earned my stripes. This is my time. Dear cellular structure, get rid of inappropriate, emotional issues that keep me from moving forward into my beauty and power. The power that I speak of is that ability to create compassion and light everywhere I go.”
Your cellular structure will smile, give you the hand that has been waiting, and say, “We are your partner in this co-creation. Let’s get going.”
Recalibration. It’s going to have attributes that are challenging and that are beautiful. What’s it going to feel like to you, to suddenly become more enlightened and have more information? You will feel you’re much more part of God – with a cold. [Kryon smile] Falling over sometimes, and you have to laugh. Biology is this way. It takes a while for the shift, months, perhaps more.
So while you deal with the issues of recalibration and discomfort, know why they are here. Then at the same time, celebrate that which is in you, which is more compassion and which starts to work in your life. Things are going to work better.
Now, all this is assuming that you get this message and you relate to it and manifest it. That is to say, your free will choice is what’s going to happen. If you ignore the message, very little will happen. You’re still an old soul and you have free choice.
Finally, I give you one of the common questions about this recalibration: “Kryon, you say the Earth energy is shifting. That means all humanity is going to feel it. Right?” Yes. All humanity will feel it. You’re going to see it in the way governments are eliminated and are re-formed. You’re going to see it in ways of different thinking. You’re going to see it in the ways my partner has told you are possible, which I have channelled in the past, thinking differently.
Old energy regimes will not renew themselves, but decide to change. Societies that have lasted 1,000 years a certain way will decide to suddenly change. Cooperation and unity over the next two generations will start to become the norm. Someday there will come a time where you will look back on today and say, “We were barbarians.” That’s a change.
I am on my side of the veil in the now. I have no clock to give you here. I am just telling you that this is what I see. I see a healed planet, eventually, with new science. I see a planet where there is no permanent disease and where clean water is never an issue. Never! I see a time where all Humans have electricity and it’s easy to get and it’s inexpensive, where you can heat your homes easily and well. These are all of the things that are in the strongest potentials in the quantum soup of manifestation. But I cannot give you a clock.
What I can tell you is that Earth recalibrates itself and there are going to be issues. Some of them will be political, and some will get worse in the recalibration attributes, and the earth will feel it. Will everyone become enlightened? No. You represent less than one-half of one percent of the Human population, old soul, and you are going to strike that match in the dark. We’ve told you this before: You’ve become the match bearer in the dark when a few lights allow all to see better. That’s your job, only the work just got easier.
I speak in the now. I cannot give you a clock. Please understand the wisdom of this as you leave the room. See the potentials, not the daily news, and if things don’t happen tomorrow, Human Being, in your quick turn-around consciousness, don’t be angry. God has patience; you have patience. Isn’t it worth it, having lived all these lives, to now come and give this one a chance?
There are those in this room who wonder how long they’re going to live, because of what’s going on right now. You know who I’m talking to. So I will tell you the potential that I see is a very long life. There are still those who might say to me, “Yeah but, yeah but, yeah but…” No matter what I tell you, some will have an excuse why it can’t work. That is the old energy speaking to you. Recalibrate! Start seeing what is possible and make it what IS.
Finally, this: The more science takes a look at atomic structure in the very small and then looks at the Universe in the very large, they will begin to see a commonality. Your science is starting to see that there’s no randomness in what looks to be random in 3D. Instead, they’re looking at intelligent design. This means that in those attributes you call creation, the way things came together were biased for life, biased for compassion. What you see is the handiwork of God. It can no longer be denied that there is a creator.
As you turn inward and start to deal with yourselves, I want you to see the same thing within you. It’s about time you understand that you are not random. Your life is not random. Things don’t happen to you randomly. They happen to you in a way that you create. There is a system here, and it can be directed and programmed and re-programmed. This is manifestation.
This is the lesson of all humanity eventually – to create a healed earth; to create a peaceful one; to go places you never dreamed you would go in invention and health. This is the beginning. I have no clock. But I have the strongest potentials to see, and that is what I give you today as my partner sits in the chair in front of you. The potentials that we see are grander than they were last year. If the Lightworkers will recalibrate easily, they can speed the process. Don’t fight it.
So, as you leave this place and life returns to normal, and the routine is the routine, you might look back upon these few minutes we’ve had together and say, “I wish I could do those things.” You tend to fall into the old energy so easily, not realizing who you are. This is why recalibration is needed, so you will not think that way. What happens in a multidimensional state has to do with consciousness out of time and space. Just walking on this planet, holding the light, creates energy that you did not know you had. That’s why we want you to stay in health, without drama or fear. Those who feel they are not doing anything for the planet are in a black and white world as they spread color all around.
So assign a goal, if you wish, because Humans love to do that. But let me tell you this: There are many of you already achieving change just by being alive and having compassion for others around you. Some of you in the room are teachers; some are channellers, and some are healers. Some are not interested, and I know who they are as well, for this message is not for all. You stand on a precipice of potential that I came here for. That’s why Kryon is here – to help you across this bridge. Congratulations for making it this far.
The old energy will fight back, dear ones. Expect it, but this time expect to win. And you will. For now, in 2012, is the beginning of Lightworkers having the upper hand. That is to say, light is being seen and the seeds that were planted so long ago are beginning to be harvested.
And so it is.

Mr Francois runs a campaign group to fight for compensationCorrespondents say the case could influence rulings in other countries on the use of pesticides.
Monsanto says it will appeal against Monday’s verdict by a court in Lyon.
Paul Francois, 47, suffered from dizziness, headaches and other problems after examining a sprayer in 2004 which contained Lasso, a product now banned.
The court linked Lasso directly to the farmer’s illness.
It ordered a report on his condition, to establish the amount of compensation Monsanto would have to pay him.
‘Historic decision’
Mr Francois, a cereal farmer from the Charente region in south-west France, had to stop work for a year. Medical tests found the hazardous chemical chlorobenzene in his body.
He complained that Monsanto had failed to give a warning on the Lasso label.
His lawyer, Francois Lafforgue, told Reuters news agency this was “a historic decision, in so far as it is the first time that a [pesticide] maker is found guilty of such a poisoning”.
Lasso has been banned in France since 2007. It was also withdrawn from sale earlier in Belgium, Canada, the UK and some other countries, French TF1 television reports.
Yann Fichet, head of institutional relations at Monsanto France, said: “We are disappointed by the court’s decision.”
Monsanto’s lawyer, Jean-Philippe Delsart, said: “Monsanto always considered that there were not sufficient elements to establish a causal relationship between Paul Francois’s symptoms and a potential poisoning.”
Correspondents say similar legal complaints often fail to prove a direct causal link between pesticide use and human illnesses.

Published February 15, 2012
A powerful repulsion between normal matter and hidden pockets of antimatter could be an alternate explanation for the mysterious force known as dark energy, according to a controversial new theory.
In 1998 scientists discovered that the universe is not only expanding but that its expansion is accelerating.
This totally unexpected behavior has been called the “most profound problem” in physics, because our current understanding of gravity says that attractions between mass in the universe should be causing the expansion to slow down.
The leading theory to explain the accelerating expansion is the existence of a hypothetical repulsive force called dark energy. (Related: “New Galaxy Maps to Help Find Dark Energy Proof?”)
But in the new study, Massimo Villata, an astrophysicist at the Observatory of Turin in Italy, suggests the effects attributed to dark energy are actually due to a kind of “antigravity” created when normal matter and antimatter repel one another.
“Usually this repulsion is ascribed to a mysterious dark energy that would uniformly permeate the cosmos, but nobody knows what it is nor why it behaves this way,” Villata said in an email.
“We are replacing an unknown force caused by an unknown element with the repulsive gravity of the well-known antimatter.”
Antimatter Hiding in “Holes” in the Universe?
According to Villata, the keys to accelerated expansion lie in large-scale voids that are seen scattered throughout the cosmos.
These holes in our map of the universe—which can each be millions of light-years wide—are inexplicably empty of galaxies and galaxy clusters. The nearest hole to us is called the Local Void, bordering the Virgo supercluster of galaxies.
Villata thinks these voids harbor vast quantities of antimatter, which could even be organized into antimatter galaxies, complete with antimatter stars and planets.
All this antimatter doesn’t emit radiation that can be detected by current sensors, making it effectively invisible, Villata said.
“There can be various reasons why antimatter in voids should be invisible, but we do not know which of them is the right one,” Villata said. “Moreover, antimatter in laboratories could have different behavior, since it is ‘immersed’ in a world of matter.”
While we can’t see antimatter superstructures, we can observe their effects on our visible universe, Villata argues, because antimatter must repel the normal matter in galaxies, pushing them farther from one another.
Villata says his theory, which will appear in an upcoming issue of the journalAstrophysics and Space Science, has the potential to solve other cosmic mysteries, such as the universe’s “missing antimatter” problem.
According to standard physics, matter and antimatter particles should have been created in equal amounts during the big bang. Yet the visible universe appears to be dominated by structures made up of normal matter.
To determine how much antimatter might be contained in the Local Void, Villata calculated how much would be needed to create a repulsive force strong enough to explain the so-called Local Sheet. This collection of normal matter, which includes our Milky Way and other nearby galaxies, is all moving at the same speed.
“If each void contains a mass of antimatter similar to that calculated for our Local Void … then our universe would host an amount of antimatter equivalent to that of matter, and [there] would finally be a matter-antimatter symmetric universe,” Villata said.
But Do Matter and Antimatter Repel?
While Villata’s theory doesn’t require mysterious forces created from nothing, it does rely on the untested assumption that matter and antimatter are mutually repulsive.
There is as yet “no [experimental] evidence that antimatter repels matter,” said physicist Frank Close of the University of Oxford in the U.K., although, he added, plans are underway at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland to test the idea.
In fact, Dragan Hajdukovic, a physicist at CERN, recently proposed a separate antigravity theory that also relies on repulsion between matter and antimatter to explain dark energy and dark matter.
Hajdukovic called Villata’s theory “an interesting idea,” be he added that he disagrees with the hypothesis of a matter-antimatter symmetric universe.
“The major problem is why [such] big quantities of antimatter in the voids are not observed,” Hajdukovic said.
In Hajdukovic’s theory, antimatter particles spontaneously pop in and out of existence in the quantum vacuum, which is the name physicists give to seemingly empty space.
“I use the reality of the quantum vacuum. For a physicist, it is more natural and plausible,” Hajdukovic said.
“In order to explain the invisibility of antimatter, proponents of a matter-antimatter symmetric universe would be forced to invoke an additional hypothesis”—such as the emission by antimatter of so-called advanced photons, which travel backward in time and so wouldn’t be detectable to current instruments.
“It is not a good sign for a theory if one hypothesis immediately demands introduction of other hypotheses.”
But study author Villata argues that the assumptions in his theory—including matter-antimatter repulsion and advanced photons—are predicted by well-established theories in physics.
In that sense, he said, there is “no introduction of other hypotheses.”

Tinakula is a conical stratovolcano which forms an island north of Nendo in Temotu Province, the Solomon Islands. It lies at the north end of the Santa Cruz Islands. It is about 3.5 km wide and rises 851 m above sea level, but rises three or four km above the sea floor. It erupts approximately every hour in a plume of ash and rocks. The volcano was first recorded in eruption in 1595 when Álvaro de Mendaña sailed past on his round the world voyage.

This natural-color satellite image (top) shows a plume of volcanic gas, possibly mixed with a little ash, rising above the island’s summit. On February 13th and 14th, 2012, NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) detected heat signatures on Tinakula, and a small plume was apparent in visible imagery (lower image). Over the past decade satellites have detected intermittent “thermal anomalies” that suggest eruptions have taken place, but eyewitness observations are infrequent. The images was collected by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite (top) and MODIS on the Terra satellite on February 14, 2012.

The island is uninhabited. A previous population was eradicated when the volcano erupted around 1840 and pyroclastic flows swept all sides of the island.
In 1951, polynesians from Nukapu and Nupani settled on the island, which reached a peak population of 130, before it had to be evacuated again during the 1971 eruption. The village of Temateneniwas on the southeast coast. In the late 1980s, two families (less than 10 people) from Nupani made another attempt at settlement.
Transport can be arranged, but landing on the island is very difficult since there are few good beaches. One must bring plenty of water and be prepared to swim ashore. The island is covered with jungle, except for the western side, which is covered with ash. It was scraped by landslides in 1965. When the volcano erupts, it is possible to watch large boulders tumbling down the mountain side.
The island is in the range of the endangered Santa Cruz Ground Dove (Gallicolumba sanctaecrucis), but as ornithologists have not visited the island in a long period, it is unknown whether they survive there. Doctor Gunter Kittel, an Austrian doctor, who came and worked for Lata Hospital climbed Tinakula four times in 2002.

Evidence Based Homeopath
The Swiss government has a long and widely-respected history of neutrality, and therefore, reports from this government on controversial subjects need to be taken more seriously than other reports from countries that are more strongly influenced by present economic and political constituencies. When one considers that two of the top five largest drug companies in the world have their headquarters in Switzerland, one might assume that this country would have a heavy interest in and bias toward conventional medicine, but such assumptions would be wrong.
In late 2011, the Swiss government’s report on homeopathic medicine represents the most comprehensive evaluation of homeopathic medicine ever written by a government and was just published in book form in English (Bornhoft and Matthiessen, 2011). This breakthrough report affirmed that homeopathic treatment is both effective and cost-effective and that homeopathic treatment should be reimbursed by Switzerland’s national health insurance program.
The Swiss government’s inquiry into homeopathy and complementary and alternative (CAM) treatments resulted from the high demand and widespread use of alternatives to conventional medicine in Switzerland, not only from consumers but from physicians as well. Approximately half of the Swiss population have used CAM treatments and value them. Further, about half of Swiss physicians consider CAM treatments to be effective. Perhaps most significantly, 85 percent of the Swiss population wants CAM therapies to be a part of their country’s health insurance program.
It is therefore not surprising that more than 50 percent of the Swiss population surveyed prefer a hospital that provides CAM treatments rather to one that is limited to conventional medical care.
Beginning in 1998, the government of Switzerland decided to broaden its national health insurance to include certain complementary and alternative medicines, including homeopathic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, anthroposophic medicine, and neural therapy. This reimbursement was provisional while the Swiss government commissioned an extensive study on these treatments to determine if they were effective and cost-effective. The provisional reimbursement for these alternative treatments ended in 2005, but as a result of this new study, the Swiss government’s health insurance program once again began to reimburse for homeopathy and select alternative treatments. In fact, as a result of a national referendum in which more than two-thirds of voters supported the inclusion of homeopathic and select alternative medicines in Switzerland’s national health care insurance program, the field of complementary and alternative medicine has become a part of this government’s constitution (Dacey, 2009; Rist, Schwabl, 2009).
The Swiss Government’s “Health Technology Assessment”
The Swiss government’s “Health Technology Assessment” on homeopathic medicine is much more comprehensive than any previous governmental report written on this subject to date. Not only did this report carefully and comprehensively review the body of evidence from randomized double-blind and placebo controlled clinical trials testing homeopathic medicines, they also evaluated the “real world effectiveness” as well as safety and cost-effectiveness. The report also conducted a highly-comprehensive review of the wide body of preclinical research (fundamental physio-chemical research, botanical studies, animal studies, and in vitro studies with human cells).
And still further, this report evaluated systematic reviews and meta-analyses, outcome studies, and epidemiological research. This wide review carefully evaluated the studies conducted, both in terms of quality of design and execution (called “internal validity”) and how appropriate each was for the way that homeopathy is commonly practiced (called “external validity”). The subject of external validity is of special importance because some scientists and physicians conduct research on homeopathy with little or no understanding of this type of medicine (some studies tested a homeopathic medicine that is rarely used for the condition tested, while others utilized medicines not commonly indicated for specific patients). When such studies inevitably showed that the homeopathic medicine did not “work,” the real and accurate assessment must be that the studies were set up to disprove homeopathy… or simply, the study was an exploratory trial that sought to evaluate the results of a new treatment (exploratory trials of this nature are not meant to prove or disprove the system of homeopathy but only to evaluate that specific treatment for a person with a specific condition).
After assessing pre-clinical basic research and the high quality clinical studies, the Swiss report affirmed that homeopathic high-potencies seem to induce regulatory effects (e.g., balancing or normalizing effects) and specific changes in cells or living organisms. The report also reported that 20 of the 22 systematic reviews of clinical research testing homeopathic medicines detected at least a trend in favor of homeopathy.* (Bornhöft, Wolf, von Ammon, et al, 2006)
The Swiss report found a particularly strong body of evidence to support the homeopathic treatment of Upper Respiratory Tract Infections and Respiratory Allergies. The report cited 29 studies in “Upper Respiratory Tract Infections/AllergicReactions,” of which 24 studies found a positive result in favor of homeopathy. Further, six out of seven controlled studies that compared homeopathic treatment with conventional medical treatment showed that homeopathy to be more effective than conventional medical interventions (the one other trial found homeopathic treatment to be equivalent to conventional medical treatment). All of these results from homeopathic treatment came without the side effects common to conventional drug treatment. In evaluating only the randomized placebo controlled trials, 12 out of 16 studies showed a positive result in favor of homeopathy.
The authors of the Swiss government’s report acknowledge that a part of the overall review of research included one review of clinical research in homeopathy (Shang, et al, 2005). However, the authors noted that this review of research has been widely and harshly criticized by both advocates and non-advocates of homeopathy. The Swiss report noted that the Shang team did not even adhere to the QUORUM guidelines which are widely recognized standards for scientific reporting (Linde, Jonas, 2005). The Shang team initially evaluated 110 homeopathic clinical trials and then sought to compare them with a matching 110 conventional medical trials. Shang and his team determined that there were 22 “high quality” homeopathic studies but only nine “high quality” conventional medical studies. Rather than compare these high quality trials (which would have shown a positive result for homeopathy), the Shang team created criteria to ignore a majority of high quality homeopathic studies, thereby trumping up support for their original hypothesis and bias that homeopathic medicines may not be effective (Lüdtke, Rutten, 2008).
The Swiss report also notes that David Sackett, M.D., the Canadian physician who is widely considered to be one of the leading pioneers in “evidence based medicine,” has expressed serious concern about those researchers and physicians who consider randomized and double-blind trials as the only means to determine whether a treatment is effective or not. To make this assertion, one would have to acknowledge that virtually all surgical procedures were “unscientific” or “unproven” because so few have undergone randomized double-blind trials.
In my view, for a treatment to be determined to be “effective” or “scientifically proven,” a much more comprehensive assessment of what works and doesn’t is required. Ultimately, the Swiss government’s report on homeopathy represents an evaluation of homeopathy that included an assessment of randomized double blind trials as well as other bodies of evidence, all of which together lead the report to determine that homeopathic medicines are indeed effective.

Part One of a classic written by Charles F. Haanel in 1912, speaking of personal power, control, abundance, and potential:
PART ONE
1. That much gathers more is true on every plane of existence and that loss leads to greater loss is equally true.
2. Mind is creative, and conditions, environment and all experiences in life are the result of our habitual or predominant mental attitude.
3. The attitude of mind necessarily depends upon what we think. Therefore, the secret of all power, all achievement and all possession depends upon our method of thinking.
4. This is true because we must “be” before we can “do,” and we can “do” only to the extent which we “are,” and what we “are” depends upon what we “think.”
5. We cannot express powers that we do not possess. The only way by which we may secure possession of power is to become conscious of power, and we can never become conscious of power until we learn that all power is from within.
6. There is a world within – a world of thought and feeling and power; of light and life and beauty and, although invisible, its forces are mighty.
7. The world within is governed by mind. When we discover this world we shall find the solution for every problem, the cause for every effect; and since the world within is subject to our control, all laws of power and possession are also within our control.
8. The world without is a reflection of the world within. What appears without is what has been found within. In the world within may be found infinite Wisdom, infinite Power, infinite Supply of all that is necessary, waiting for unfoldment, development and expression. If we recognize these potentialities in the world within they will take form in the world without.
9. Harmony in the world within will be reflected in the world without by harmonious conditions, agreeable surroundings, the best of everything. It is the foundation of health and a necessary essential to all greatness, all power, all attainment, all achievement and all success.
10. Harmony in the world within means the ability to control our thoughts, and to determine for ourselves how any experience is to affect us.
11. Harmony in the world within results in optimism and affluence; affluence within results in affluence without.
12. The world without reflects the circumstances and the conditions of the consciousness within.
13. If we find wisdom in the world within, we shall have the understanding to discern the marvelous possibilities that are latent in this world within, and we shall be given the power to make these possibilities manifest in the world without.
14. As we become conscious of the wisdom in the world within, we mentally take possession of this wisdom, and by taking mental possession we come into actual possession of the power and wisdom necessary to bring into manifestation the essentials necessary for our most complete and harmonious development.
15. The world within is the practical world in which the men and women of power generate courage, hope, enthusiasm, confidence, trust and faith, by which they are given the fine intelligence to see the vision and the practical skill to make the vision real.
16. Life is an unfoldment, not accretion. What comes to us in the world without is what we already possess in the world within.
17. All possession is based on consciousness. All gain is the result of an accumulative consciousness. All loss is the result of a scattering consciousness.
18. Mental efficiency is contingent upon harmony; discord means confusion; therefore, he who would acquire power must be in harmony with Natural Law.
19. We are related to the world without by the objective mind. The brain is the organ of this mind and the cerebro-spinal system of nerves puts us in conscious communication with every part of the body. This system of nerves responds to every sensation of light, heat, odor, sound and taste.
20. When this mind thinks correctly, when it understands the truth, when the thoughts sent through the cerebro-spinal nervous system to the body are constructive, these sensations are pleasant, harmonious.
21. The result is that we build strength, vitality and all constructive forces into our body, but it is through this same objective mind that all distress, sickness, lack, limitation and every form of discord and inharmony is admitted to our lives. It is therefore through the objective mind, by wrong thinking, that we are related to all destructive forces.
22. We are related to the world within by the subconscious mind. The solar plexus is the organ of this mind; the sympathetic system of nerves presides over all subjective sensations, such as joy, fear, love, emotion, respiration, imagination and all other subconscious phenomena. It is through the subconscious that we are connected with the Universal Mind and brought into relation with the Infinite constructive forces of the Universe.
23. It is the coordination of these two centers of our being, and the understanding of their functions, which is the great secret of life. With this knowledge we can bring the objective and subjective minds into conscious cooperation and thus coordinate the finite and the infinite. Our future is entirely within our own control. It is not at the mercy of any capricious or uncertain external power.
24. All agree that there is but one Principle or Consciousness pervading the entire Universe, occupying all space, and being essentially the same in kind at every point of its presence. It is all powerful, all wisdom and always present. All thoughts and things are within Itself. It is all in all.
25. There is but one consciousness in the universe able to think; and when it thinks, its thoughts become objective things to it. As this Consciousness is omnipresent, it must be present within every individual; each individual must be a manifestation of that Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent Consciousness.
26. As there is only one Consciousness in the Universe that is able to think it necessarily follows that your consciousness is identical with the Universal Consciousness, or, in other words, all mind is one mind. There is no dodging this conclusion.
27. The consciousness that focuses in your brain cells is the same consciousness which focuses in the brain cells of every other individual. Each individual is but the individualization of the Universal, the Cosmic Mind.
28. The Universal Mind is static or potential energy; it simply is; it can manifest only through the individual, and the individual can manifest only through the Universal. They are one.
29. The ability of the individual to think is his ability to act on the Universal and bring it into manifestation. Human consciousness consists only in the ability of man to think. Mind in itself is believed to be a subtle form of static energy, from which arises the activities called ‘thought,’ which is the dynamic phase of mind. Mind is static energy, thought is dynamic energy – the two phases of the same thing. Thought is therefore the vibratory force formed by converting static mind into dynamic mind.
30. As the sum of all attributes are contained in the Universal Mind, which is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent, these attributes must be present at all times in their potential form in every individual. Therefore, when the individual thinks, the thought is compelled by its nature to embody itself in an objectivity or condition which will correspond with its origin.
31. Every thought therefore is a cause and every condition an effect; for this reason it is absolutely essential that you control your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions.
32. All power is from within, and is absolutely under your control; it comes through exact knowledge and by the voluntary exercises of exact principles.
33. It should be plain that when you acquire a thorough understanding of this law, and are able to control your thought processes, you can apply it to any condition; in other words, you will have come into conscious cooperation with Omnipotent law which is the fundamental basis of all things.
34. The Universal Mind is the life principle of every atom which is in existence; every atom is continually striving to manifest more life; all are intelligent, and all are seeking to carry out the purpose for which they were created.
35. A majority of mankind lives in the world without; few have found the world within, and yet it is the world within that makes the world without; it is therefore creative and everything which you find in your world without has been created by you in the world within.
36. This system will bring you into a realization of power which will be yours when you understand this relation between the world without and the world within. The world within is the cause, the world without the effect; to change the effect you must change the cause.
37. You will at once see that this is a radically new and different idea; most men try to change effects by working with effects. They fail to see that this is simply changing one form of distress for another. To remove discord, we must remove the cause, and this cause can be found only in the world within.
38. All growth is from within. This is evident in all nature. Every plant, every animal, every human is a living testimony to this great law, and the error of the ages is in looking for strength or power from without.
39. The world within is the Universal fountain of supply, and the world without is the outlet to the stream. Our ability to receive depends upon our recognition of this Universal Fountain, this Infinite Energy of which each individual is an outlet, and so is one with every other individual.
40. Recognition is a mental process, mental action is therefore the interaction of the individual upon the Universal Mind, and as the Universal Mind is the intelligence which pervades all space and animates all living things, this mental action and reaction is the law of causation, but the principle of causation does not obtain in the individual but in the Universal Mind. It is not an objective faculty but a subjective process, and the results are seen in an infinite variety of conditions and experiences.
41. In order to express life there must be mind; nothing can exist without mind. Everything which exists is some manifestation of this one basic substance from which and by which all things have been created and are continually being recreated.
42. We live in a fathomless sea of plastic mind substance. This substance is ever alive and active. It is sensitive to the highest degree. It takes form according to the mental demand. Thought forms the mold or matrix from which the substance expresses.
43. Remember that it is in the application alone that the value consists, and that a practical understanding of this law will substitute abundance for poverty, wisdom for ignorance, harmony for discord and freedom for tyranny, and certainly there can be no greater blessing than these from a material and social standpoint.
44. Now make the application: Select a room where you can be alone and undisturbed; sit erect, comfortably, but do not lounge; let your thoughts roam where they will but be perfectly still for from fifteen minutes to half an hour; continue this for three or four days or for a week until you secure full control of your physical being.
45. Many will find this extremely difficult; others will conquer with ease, but it is absolutely essential to secure complete control of the body before you are ready to progress. Next week you will receive instructions for the next step; in the meantime you must have mastered this one.

Interesting and fun interview between Cesar Millan and Eckhart Tolle. Cesar Millan made a curious comment: “Animals don’t fight balance.” Curious because what is unspoken is the assertion that humans do. Perhaps it is a good idea to consider what it means to be in balance and to take some time to watch the critters around us as they attempt to get into balance.

The quake, which struck about 159 miles west of Coos Bay, was measured at 7:31 p.m., the USGS said. Initial reports indicated it hit at a depth of 6.2 miles.
The National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo., says a magnitude 6.0 quake off the Oregon coast caused no reported damage and only a smattering of reports from people who felt it as a weak jolt.
Within about an hour, the information center’s website recorded 39 reports of people who reported feeling the quake. Most were in northern California and southern Oregon and characterized it was “weak” or “barely felt.”
U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Dale Grant said in a telephone interview the quake occurred in a seismically active area and called it “not uncommon at all.”
“These are the ones we like — nobody gets hurt and there’s no damage,” he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
