The Secret Behind Coral Castle Is. . . Antigravity?

 

What if I told you that, here in America (Florida, to be a little more precise), a man built a castle all on his own?  No, no, not a sand castle, though I’ve seen some pretty epic ones.  No, this man built a whole, entire castle of coral rock (oolitic limestone) which a little man of the name of Ed Leedskalnin built over the span of 28 years.

The whole place consists of 1,000 tons of stones, set up together without mortar with such precision that no light can be seen through the joints (this is somewhat reminiscent of some ancient megalithic structures).  The whole castle is a work of art and a long-lived one at that, for not even Hurricane Andrew (category 5 hurricane that blew over in 1992) was able to dislodge or shift a single stone.

But how did this man do it?  After all, we’re not talking about small tiny pieces of coral that one can place in a home aquarium.  These rocks average 27 tons with the largest one reaching 27 tons. 

People claim that Leedskalnin used some unknown technology involving levitation or antigravity. Others that he was able to manipulate his own chi (life energy) to lift those blocks up.  Some claimed that he sang the songs into place.

But what did the man himself say?

“I have discovered the secrets of the pyramids, and have found out how the Egyptians and the ancient builders in Peru, Yucatan, and Asia, with only primitive tools, raise and set in place blocks of stone weighing many tons!”

And it had something to do with celestial alignments, measurements, and electromagnetism. . .

Granted, no one was able to corroborate the fact, as he only worked at night.  But I have my own theory on that:  in truth, the man was the origin of the Hulk (aka Mr. Hyde), and that’s why he could only work at night!  I say, I rather like my hypothesis!

Billions of Powerhouses Within Ourselves - DNA Series Part 3

In the last post, I talked about how emotions can alter our own DNA as well as that of others. (So please, be kind when you read this blog and only project good thoughts :) )

Today, I’m going to keep it short and, hopefully, sweet.

Huhuummm. ~Clears throat~

Everyone knows that our DNA’s a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development of functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses, which works as a long-term information holder and is composed of sequences of nucleotides: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).

Okay, I actually cheated, I got all of that off of Wikipedia.

Still though, we all sort of have an idea of some kind of concept of an understanding of what DNA is. Right?

Right.

But I bet not many of you know that it actually, “under certain conditions behaves as a superconductor.” (The Human Antenna, Dr. Robin Kelly).

Yep, that’s right. Maybe that’s why we sometimes attract lightning upon ourselves, do you think? Or is it just because we’re mainly vertical creatures? You know, now I really wonder why we get struck by lightning. Anyone know?

Anyways, superconductors conduct electricity without resistance below a certain temperature, thereby reducing energy loss. Once set in motion, the current will flow forever in a closed loop made out of a superconductor (you can learn more about superconductors here).

You see, pretty nifty stuff, huh? (Even though I have no idea what they use those for. Electric appliances? Hmm, not sure I’d want a vacuum cleaner that never stops. . .)

“Because superconductors conduct electricity so efficiently, the magnetic fields generated around them are huge. . .. [And] when DNA is extracted from a living being, dried and added to a superconducting compound in the laboratory, it appears to enhance that compound’s superconductivity at the temperature nature prefers.” (The Human Antenna, Dr. Robin Kelly).

So basically, our DNA turns superconductors into megasuperconductors. Amazing, right? We have AMAZING bodies! I think the Matrix got it right: we should harness the electricity our cells produce, it would be way so much greener than ANYTHING else, right? So, you’d have a plug at the base of your skull, and then plug all your appliances there: already mentioned vacuum cleaner, computer, car. . . The possibilities are endless!

But that’s not all. No sirree! It doesn’t just react with electricity, but with something waaaaaaaaaaaay more awesome too!

But that’s going to be the subject of the next blog.

See, I told you this one would be short, huh?

All right, off to have some fun :)

PS: OK, here’s a hint of what else it reacts with, so you can have an inkling of what I’m going to talk about next: you see it every day.
Ha! Try to figure that one out (you can leave your guess(es) in the comments section below).

There is no instinct like the Heart. - Lord Byron, Don Juan.

Why is it that when I get scared, or excited, my heart starts beating faster?

Why is it that when I feel sad, or filled with love and compassion, my heart squeezes?

People used to think that emotions came from the heart. Yet, along with the rise of science, came the conviction that all our emotions are the product of our brain, of the chemical changes and release of hormones instigated by it. And that the heart, is just a muscle whose only purpose is to circulate blood (yes, Count Dracula and his vampiric horde, I’m sure, are very grateful for this essential tool that keeps their drinking founts alive).


But is this fact entirely true?

“Although scientists over the past 30 years have never disputed the fact that the human heart is indeed a pump, they have also discovered it to be much more besides. It is now known to be a hormone-secreting gland responsible for producing chemicals that balance the autonomic (or involuntary) nervous system. It is also an organ littered with receptor sites for molecules of emotion.” (The Human Antenna, Dr. Robin Kelly)

So technically, we have 2 brains in our system (put that way, it sounds a little creepy). Although one could argue (based on a previous post) that we have three brains. Which could explain why I so often argue with myself.

Now that I mention this, I wonder whether those stories of people who’ve received a heart transplant and suddenly find a change in their behavior (kind of like in the movie Return to Me) could be linked to this whole brain = heart thingamajig?

But that’s not all of it. (Thought you could get off that easy, huh?)

No, what’s really intriguing is that it has been found that “[t]he heart is our body’s energetic center, with an electromagnetic field 5000 times stronger than our brain.” (The Human Antenna, Dr. Robin Kelly)

How cool is that? So not only does our heart work as another brain, but it also has its own electromagnetic field which, as it turns out, is way stronger than the one around our brain (for the sake of avoiding arguments, let’s just call the brain in our head the “Main Brain”). And it extends a lot further too.

Which is probably why evidence suggests that “the electromagnetic signals generated by the heart have the capacity to affect others around us. [The Institute of HeartMath’s] data indicate that one person’s heart signal can affect another’s brainwaves [(even when not directly touching, as long as they are close to each other)], and that heart-brain synchronization can occur between two people when they interact. Finally, it appears that as individuals increase psychophysiological coherence, they become more sensitive to the subtle electromagnetic signals communicated by those around them.”

A lot of blah-blah to say that we communicate through our electromagnetic field (just as I suspected), and that the strongest of those fields is the one created around our heart.

So perhaps Professor X's secret to his incredible power (see previous post) was not that he had a super powerful Main Brain, but that his heart was really strong.

And maybe that is another reason why we should generally follow our hearts rather than our minds (is anyone else thinking about The Lion King right now?).


"Since emotional processes can work faster than the mind, it takes a power stronger than the mind to bend perception, override emotional circuitry, and provide us with intuitive feeling instead. It takes the power of the heart." (Doc Childre, Founder, Institute of HeartMath)

The Truth Behind Professor X’s Powers - X-MEN Series 2/2

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Professor X has amazing brain power. And I mean amazing. Seriously, who doesn’t agree with me?

I’ve always watched that cartoon (no, I never read the comics, don’t kill me, please) wishing I could e one of those X-Men too, with super powers of my own (as long as I still looked like a human, of course). But what if us non-mutant-regular-so-not-super-powered humans could do it too? I’m speaking about doing something like Professor Xavier’s tricks, of course, not poofing in and out of places like Nightcrawler.

Yes. I’m being serious.

So here’s the deal. You know how when he uses his power (I said Professor X!), there are these wave thingies that seem to come out of his brain?

Well, I postulate that it’s his electromagnetic (EM) field acting. That’s right. Because you see, as I learned not too long ago (in the last year or so to be somewhat exact), our own brain has its own, if somewhat feeble EM field.

Yeah, I know, crazy huh? Well, anyway, there’s this super crazy theory out there called the Cemi Field Theory (stands for Conscious Electro Magnetic Information Field Theory) that says:

“There is considerable evidence that neurons do indeed communicate through the EM field (known as field coupling). The Cemi Field Theory . . . shows that the brain’s weak but complex EM field allows each cell instant access to the information contained in every other cell in the brain.” (p. 290, Lost Star of Myth and Time, Walter Cruttenden).

Now, I don’t know if it’s anything that’s been proven 100% yet, but it hasn’t been disproved either. So let’s pretend it’s correct. Then what does it mean? Well, here’s my reasoning (and please, tell me if it’s flawed in any way--see comments section below):

1. Our thoughts create a reaction in the EM field around our brain:

“The starting point for these theories is the fact that every time a neuron fires to generate an action potential and a postsynaptic potential in the next neuron down the line, it also generates a disturbance to the surrounding [EM] field.” (Wikipedia).

2. Our EM Field then transmits the information to the rest of our body (so it’s not just our secreting hormones and other such gooey things that helps our body function).

3. Therefore, because of this link, if something outside of us affects our EM field, then it’s bound to affect us. Example: the weather affects us. If it’s gray all the time, people have a tendency to be moody, angry, depressed. Whereas the presence of sun generally has the opposite effect (we’ll talk about that in a later blog post). For instance, I know that when it’s rainy, I have a tendency to feel more tired than when it’s sunny.

Which reminds me, don’t perform acupuncture when there’s a storm outside, I heard it can be dangerous!

4. So if something external can affect us then we can affect the outside world as well:

“There’s a direct connection between nature and our bodies. But not only could weather have an effect on our bodies, so too could the emotional ‘field’ of others.” (p. 30, The Human Antenna: Reading the Language of the Universe in the Songs of Our Cells, Dr. Robin Kelley).

Uhhh, I think I’m getting lost with all those numbers. Anyways, all I’m saying is that I think Professor X is just really, really good at using his EM field to interact with others. Now, if he could just hand us the How-To Manual, that would awesome. Cause I mean, even though I know there’s an EM field floating around my head, how the hell do I manage to control what it does, or how it affects others? (Is this where meditation comes in?)

Can you just imagine what it would be like? We wouldn’t need cell phones anymore, we could just tune in our EM fields and voilà, instant access to the one you’re calling, even in the middle of nowhere (though I’m thinking this might require our EM fields to be able to expand somehow till they “meet” the other EM fields we want to talk to, and I have NO idea how that would work).

Well, that’s my theory of the day. What do you think about it? I’m serious, I really wanna hear what you think on the subject. And I promise to take your ideas with the same consideration you’re taking mine with :)
