***Adobe Flash Player Fix****

Some folks are having issues with playing the Flash content on this site. To fix this issue, uninstall Adobe Flash Player here
then reinstall it from here. Please take note of the following settings if you are using Internet Explorer ( I recommend Mozilla Firefox for ALL browsing, period. IE has too many bugs for my taste):

Internet Explorer ActiveX settings:-

First, check to see if your Security level is set to Medium (In IE, go to Tools-->Internet Options-->Security and slide to Medium).The Default Level will allow you to view Flash content. For any Custom Level, ensure that both the "Download Signed ActiveX controls" and "Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins" options are set to "Prompt". To do this:

1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
3. Select the Security tab.
4. Select Custom Level.
5. Find the section "ActiveX controls and plug-ins".
6. Set ' Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to Prompt.
7. Set 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to Prompt.

Some Internet utilities, such as Norton Internet Utilities, perform functions similar to a firewall and may restrict viewing of ActiveX controls, and in some cases specifically blocking Flash content. You need to ensure that your firewall or utility settings are set to allow ActiveX controls and Flash (SWF).

Please continue to alert me to any other technical issues that may arise.

Thanks!

..the enemy is you...

"You are the world, the neighbor, the friend, the so-called enemy.

If you would understand, you must first understand yourself,

For in you is the root of all understanding.

In you is the beginning and the end."

"If you are very clear, if you are inwardly a light unto yourself,

you will never follow anyone"

-J. Krishnamurti

"I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.. Truth being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or coerce people along any particular path..."

2012: Truth or Fiction?

From what I've read from various articles (mostly pro-Mayan sources), on the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that "whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time". In so many words, we're either toast or will enter some type of higher consciousness.

My rational side screams, "Bullshit! Where's the evidence?"

OK, modern science has proven the Mayans correct on their amazing calculations on the exact duration of a year to a thousandth of a decimal point, much more precise than any Greek or enlightened philosopher ever did. Also, they were able to predict every solar and lunar eclipse until this day. And obviously, they knew where the galactic equinox and the exact middle of the Milky Way lay: they called this crossing `the Sacred Tree'. Mysteriously, they predicted in what year their civilization would be overrun by foreigners coming from over the seas. Whatever powers they possessed is truly a mystery. From what I've read, the Sun aligns with the center of the Milky Way every 26,000 years, but since the Earth has existed for an astonishing 4,5 billion years, the Earth has survived this event many times already--with humans walking on it & to this day, we (humans) are still here no more enlightened & still up to our usual tricks.

Who knows really....Maybe Time will prove the Mayans right - yet again.

The Foreign Exchange Experience

The Foreign Exchange is probably one of the biggest Hip Hop groups in the underground scene today. It's a real shame that more people don't know the crazy talent the members of this group possess. The combination of Phonte's inventive lyricism & soulful falsetto and Nicolay's ambient grooves and brilliant sequencing is really impressive stuff. The whole set blazes & choosing a stand-out track is tough.I selectively combined their last CD, "Connected" to their current release, "Leave It All Behind" for your musical appreciation~~Enjoy!








Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence. ~Robert Fripp

Who Is Dr. Mitchell Gibson?

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

In my ever-continuing search in the science of mind/consciousness,I came across this book
and decided to research the author online for more information. Being somewhat skeptical by nature, I am still mulling over his fascinating theories and case studies. I've read similar accounts throughout the years (mostly Buddhist texts) and find the theories of mind/consciousness enthralling and enriching to one's spiritual & emotional growth.

Check him out and judge for yourself.
