Seattle Ley Lines

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Field Notes – Ley Lines of Seattle from cornucopia3000 on Vimeo.

For those of you operating in the Seattle sphere, Datachurch highly recommends checking out the large Ley Line map in the Seattle City Light building at 1300 North 97th Street. It details the methodology behind the mapping the ley lines and also has crystal points on the physical map to show power points. Interesting public points of Earth energy power include the southern tip of the Seattle Arboretum, Roanoke Park, Interlaken Park, the Woodland Park Rose Garden, St James Cathedral on First Hill, Yesler and First Avenue, the southern tip of Cal Anderson Park, the northeast tip of Green Lake and many others.

For more information on the mapping and general Earth power points check out the folks responsible at the Geo Group.

Thanks to Cornucopia3000.

“We are often more dangerous to ourselves than the enemy.”

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Over the last decade of war, more American soldiers have died by their own hand than from enemy attacks. The U.S Army has just released a report that high-risk behavior among soldiers – including drug abuse and alcholism – are killing more troops than “terrorists”. What is suprising is that this report comes from the U.S. Army.

Not only that but our troops are freely given bottomless prescriptions for amphetamines and high-potentcy pain killers. Additionally soldiers are committing 5,000 more misdemeanors each successive year and instances of rape and domestic abuse are up 177% in the last six years.

The Army also waives applicants who would have previously been barred from service for felony convictions and drug abuse.

Of 80,403 waivers granted since 2004, the report found that 47,478 were granted to people with a history of drug or alcohol abuse, misdemeanor crime or “serious misconduct,” which it defined as felony.

Tired of reading? NPR lays it all out aurally.

Apparently Call of Duty doesn’t prepare anyone for real warfare.

The good news is this, MAPS is working diligently, and succeeding, at helping treatment-resistant PTSD soldiers with the use of MDMA (ecstasy). If done correctly this generation of soldiers may use psychoactive empathy chemicals to successfully create and lead a vision from the Army’s past: the First Earth Battalion – real Jedis.

National Geographic: Inside LSD

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Tonight, the National Geographic Channel will be airing a program about LSD’s use in modern psychopharmacology. The shows producers consulted with MAPS Executive Director Rick Doblin, Ph.D., among other experts, in order to create the show. The documentary features interviews with numerous colleagues in the field of psychedelic research, including pioneering psilocybin researcher Charles Grob, M.D. One segment explores the possibility that some form of LSD could help sufferers of cluster headaches, and its footage of one such sufferer in the throes of an attack leaves you wishing the poor fellow relief no matter where it might come from. In another part of the program, a woman with terminal cancer talks about how an LSD trip helped her break free of the anxiety about death that was consuming her final months.
