The Dreamachine is a cylinder attached to
an old-fashion record-player that spins at about 78 revolutions per minute.
The cylinder has precisely cut out holes that produce a stobescopic effect
when the cylinder is revolved around a bright light. Besides the trippy visual effects the
device is said to induce lucid dreaming and intense daydreaming. It promotes
a trancelike serenity, intensifies creativity and insight and even uncovers
suppressed memories. |

For this week, participants are invited
to bring in music they want to hear. We discovered at the last session that
the music made a significant difference in the visions we saw, so people
expressed an interest in watching what happens with different kinds of music.
This is an opportunity to experiment. The first hour will be for beginners,
with shorter sessions. After the first hour, we will break, and those who
want more in-depth experience can stay for a longer session. We don't have any Dreamachine workshops scheduled after this one. There will be some in January, we just haven't decided the dates yet. |

The state of affairs in our current aeon has the human
community wondering after problems, both objective and subjective, some
lesser some greater, that remain void of seeable solutions and answers. In
some kind of inquisitive wanderlust, the collective consciousness, and indeed
the individual psyche, acts at a loss, as if approaching these questions
without a resource wherewith to find knowledge that lies beyond our immediate
capabilities of perception. |

While the masses of our society get lost
in the spectacle or maintain ignorance through narrow-minded tunnel-vision,
some of us choose to look elsewhere—rather than relying on the logic of
rational mentality—into the deep recesses of the unconscious, through the
unknown of the unknown, in the symbiotic web of the Akashic field, and
ultimately to the Source; through a process called DIVINATION. To divine, in this sense means to utilize
one’s own inherent intuition and insight to discover relative imports in any
of the multitude of symbolic fields. For centuries and still today, people
have made use of this elusive art to find water by dowsing, using ‘divining
rods,’ and to ‘see’ their way out of survival situations by similar means. |

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that email users have the
same reasonable expectation of privacy in their stored email as they do in
their phone calls and postal mail and that the government must have a search
warrant before it can seize and search emails stored by third party email service
providers
The Obama administration has been defending the Stored
Communications Act, which allows the government to secretly obtain emails
without a warrant in many situations.

StarChild’s DNA is NOT human and was probably genetically
manipulated.
Lloyd Pye has a new video out describing his search for the
past twelve years to find a DNA lab that was willing and capable of testing the
DNA in the StarChild skull he has been holding.
The technology has finally gotten to the point where the
labs can say that the father was not human, and could not be the result of
normal sexual impregnation.
You can view the entire video (Parts 1 and 2) on line at http://newparadigm.no/web/guest/interview-lloyd-pye
