Vegetative state patients can respond to questions

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8497148.stm

I think the title says it all. Doctors were able to get some vegetative state patients to answer yes or no to questions in a unique manner by what they put their attention on. The research involves a new brain scanning method.

When one can communicate effectively with people that no longer can move any muscle in their bodies then we are living in the realm of science fiction for real. Or another way to put it is that science fiction has now become science fact.

begin quote from above article:
The study in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that scans can detect signs of awareness in patients thought to be closed off from the world.

Patients in a vegetative state are awake, not in a coma, but have no awareness because of severe brain damage.

Scanning technique

The scientists used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which shows brain activity in real time.

They asked patients and healthy volunteers to imagine playing tennis while they were being scanned.

In each of the volunteers this stimulated activity in the pre-motor cortex, part of the brain which deals with movement. end quote.

Please read the whole article that I put at the top of this article if interested at the above internet address.

With this type of technology you will begin to see direct copies of human consciousness begin to arise within computer and robotic life forms. This will eventually lead to real "Bio-coms" like Silver has invented in my online book "2035" at:

http://dragonofcompassion.com/2035

note: 2-5-10 I started thinking about how one could actually duplicate human consciousness in a computer or robot. It would be an electronic echo so to speak much like when Alexander Graham Bell first spoke on a phone. The electronic echo would be much like the in between state of verbal sound and could be stored in the electronic sound right before it is converted back into real sound again. By taking the MRIs over days, weeks and months of doctors, nurses, scientists, writers and artists and electronically creating a proper interface within a computer you would have a rudimentary artificial human consciousness of one being or even many if that was your wish in the artificial consciousness you were creating. It could easily be done with today's technology. Once the basics have been converted or translated into zeros and 1s through binary conversion then the artificial intelligence could then learn like a child and grow and live much like a human if it was given an artificial body.

It would just be important to realize that this was a human echo of a specific personality. To a scientist it could be an electronic psychological clone of that scientist or engineer.

Or one could theoretically combine many talents into the same artificial being. However, I think a single being would have to be cloned in consciousness first before that was possible.

What is Real? 2-3-10

In all my writings I'm trying to share what my experience of reality is. I find my life experience is unique. A friend of mine who has published many books and I were talking and I said, "Other people that are like me." and he said, "There is no one like you, Fred." All the people that are the most like you are still in the religion you were raised in. At this point you are completely unique in your life experience.

So, do I expect you to agree with what I write? NO. That is not useful. What I do expect is that you will be either entertained or informed of new ways to perceive reality or both. If not, I'm sorry I couldn't help you in some way. Have a great life!

So, what I'm writing here is probably mostly helpful to me and possibly to you as well. For example, when I have been writing 2035 in December and since, I was thinking of how I could share what I see coming in a way that might prevent unnecessary suffering of humans, now and in the future. It was less trying to entertain you and more trying to prepare you for what is coming.

Even the somewhat chaotic changes that people experience in 2035 are based upon my own experience with both enlightenment and relationships. In other words always expect the unexpected. Of course if you choose it your life can be just as boring as you want it to be or as exciting as you want it to be. However, if you choose the latter just remember if your life is too exciting it will drive you mad or dead. So, balance is the thing always if you choose to live a long thing like I did in life. It's not that I expected to live a long time, it's what I was shooting for so to speak. So every time a physical or psychological risk just seemed to far I pulled back and lived and emotionally and physically survived. And of course I have watched many friends not know when to quit whatever they were doing and they aren't around anymore. So, after 3 marriages and three biological children(who are all still close to me) and my present marriage is very happy I look back upon my life and realize I have lived a really amazing life. It is a very different vantage point now at 61 than ever before. Now I'm grateful for each moment of life and I consider every moment after 40 to be gravy or sort of like an encore after the main show is over of one's life. Living to 40 was the thing. Everything else is just amazing and I'm grateful for each and every moment.

Tonight I was thinking about what I have written so far in 2035 and though it has been pleasurable for me to write I wonder what people would think of it? But that really isn't even why I wrote it. I wrote it to be informative of what is coming. I know people who are not religious or not new age or into Saint Germain or whatever might be put off by all that. However, I just got depressed about writing about Silver to age 16 and decided to move the whole thing in a somewhat unexpected direction. I also wanted enough stability for Silver to actually become someone like a Thomas Edison type of character mixed with the lovability and endearing nature of someone like Michael Jackson. No matter what your view on Michael Jackson's sexual proclivities, if you remove that one question you have a Saint in human form in what he tried to do here on earth for so many. So to depict Silver as being a 21st century Thomas Edison mixed with the basic lovability of Michael Jackson was what I was going for.

Since I have been an unconscious soul traveler since birth and a conscious soul traveler all over earth, the solar system, to the center of the solar system starting in 1969 and 1970 and to the edge of the Galaxy by 1973 I am trying to express what I experienced in this galaxy in regard to intelligent life when I write about the Galactic Sentience, the Galactic Government and the Galactic Time Guard which is one of the main peacekeeping units that keeps ultimate order in our galaxy. Even Purple Delta 7 I see as a real being in my personal experience of the universe. Is it important that you see her as real? That is entirely up to you. But to me, the Galactic Sentience is a real being. The Creator of the Galaxy and his wife are real beings. Even the wife of the Galactic Sentience is a real being. So, how do I or how does anyone cope with all this?

The way I cope with it is that the reality of the physical and psychological relationships in the Galaxy looks a whole lot more like Zeus and the Greek Pantheon and even the Norse pantheon which is similar than anything else I've heard of. This is not to say that Jesus and Buddha weren't real and true. However, it is a simultaneous truth
and it would be useful to say that like in Shakespeare, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy".

Sacred even with Dementia

I was horrified when my extremely intuitive and kind mother got senile dementia. It started when I took her and my then 10 year old daughter to Europe in October 1999 to meet my son and his friend who were traveling through europe on a Eurail pass for several months. At the time I just thought she started to act strange when we flew to Germany from London. A friend of hers had been machine gunned to death at the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. He was 18 or 19 and was a U.S. Soldier. So she was unhappy to be in Germany. I think this was the beginning of her problems. She had been okay in Scotland where her parents were from before they moved to the U.S. in the early 1900s.

So, I rented a motorhome and traveled with my son, then 25 and his friend 24 and my 10 year old daughter and my mother who would never get out of the motor home we rented in Munich and drove through Germany, Austria, Switzerland and into Northern Italy. During this time my mother got stranger by the day. She was 80 that year. By the time we returned to London for the last leg of our flight home to San Francisco, California she not only wouldn't leave the hotel room, she wouldn't even move to a better room. So she stayed watching TV in a below ground room with no windows even when a better one was offered us. So my 10 year old and I went to Broadway type shows and toured London alone without her and brought her food while she watched London cable TV. She did travel with us to Glastonbury, England which is the fabled Isle of Avalon of King Arthur and Merlin fame, though now the lake is most of the year farmland unless it is flooding. Not too far away is Stonehenge also. However, I much preferred the energy of Glastonbury and found it to be the most amazing power spot in England to the point that I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stand up 25 miles away from Glastonbury and only become more amazing as I drew near.

By December 2001 I had no choice but to put her in a nursing home that specialized in Senile Dementia and Alzheimers patients. I watched her become at least 50 strangers I never met before over the next 7 years. She passed away on September 18th, 2008.

However, the point of this article is that my mother never lost her saintlike intuitive abilities at any point. She had amazing experiences and often her caregivers would approach me in tears at how much their lives had been changed in knowing my mother. She would say things often like, "I see angels around you" or "You Have a beautiful aura today." People would be in tears because my mother had no guile as she was at best a child in perception and totally innocent. So they knew she was just "calling them as she saw them". My mother had always seen angels and been extremely intuitive and generally a very sacred person. She and my father had even been in charge of a church in Los Angeles, California from the time I was 6 to 12 years of age.

But the most important thing for me at least was when one of my life long friends who was a high school teacher from Los Angeles came to visit my mother. She was having a complete heaven realm kind of experience that day. It was sort of uncomfortable for us to visit her because what she was experiencing seemed so very spiritually intimate. She said, "Can you hear the angels sing?" "Can you see them how beautiful they are." "I'm so very very happy" "I'm ecstatic!" So my friend tried to engage her but mostly she was just so living in this heaven realm that there wasn't much we could do. However, we both felt the energy in the room was amazing and we both felt the presence of angels around her and us. So, we gave grattitude to God that we were present for this amazing experience.

A few months later my friend died and I realized that God had arranged all this with my mother so he was being prepared for his death and transition into heaven. He was 62 when he passed in his home in Los Angeles.

So, what I'm saying here is that people who are with God all the time often stay sacred even in Dementia. It is a hard thing for us humans to understand but God is more amazing than anything humans can perceive or understand.

Oscar, the cat that predicts deaths

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100202/stage_nm/us_books_cat

In this very interesting article the cat Oscar went curled up and went to sleep with patients in a nursing home, unfailingly predicting which patient would die next with about 50 patients even when the doctors and nurses thought it would be a different patient that would die.

I think that instincts of humans and animals should be researched further. Everyone thinks that humans a so superior but most humans can't do what Oscar does every day, unfailingly, predict who will die next.


My wife and I were wondering if this is one reason why cats were worshiped in ancient Egypt as sacred beings.

There is also another strange thing with cats. There is a parasite that prefers to live in the intestines of cats to any other creature. In fact if this parasite is in rats it goes to their brains and makes them curious about cats to the point that the rats tend to be eaten by cats so the parasites can have their wish and be lodged in cats intestines. Also, humans who have cats tend to have this relatively benign parasite in their brains too. So, this odd parasite that doesn't seem to harm humans might attract them to cats. What a strange and amazing world we live in!

U.S. Pentagon Cyberwar Strategy

http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20100203/us_time/08599195767900

begin quote:
What U.S. officials don't like to acknowledge is that the Pentagon is hard at work developing an offensive cyber capability of its own. In fact, it has even begun using that capability to wage war.end quote.

This reminds me of a program I once saw on Stargate on TV. The two or more countries had cyberwars instead of real bloody ones. Though such a war would be financially costly it is not a bloody war. This appears to be the new "Cold War?" here on earth.

Yeshua closer than Yesu

I received a comment from an Aramaic scholar. He said that "Yeshua" is closer to what Jesus was called at that time in that particular Aramaic dialect than Yesu. Though I stand corrected I think to avoid confusion of readers that for now I will leave the Yesu series I wrote last year as Yesu so people can still find it and refer others to it. However, in future things I write about Yesu I will likely use the corrected Yeshua instead.

I want to thank the gentleman who commented about this. I appreciate this kind of information as being scientifically and historically correct helps us all understand everything in life past, present and future better.

Put it into Neutral

If you are driving any Toyota made vehicle (with the possible exception of the Prius) and your accelerator pedal sticks simply shift into Neutral with your shift lever.

Don't turn the ignition off because your driving wheel will lock. Though your engine might rev up above red line, you will still be able to use your brakes to stop the vehicle. Once the vehicle stops in a relatively safe place then turn your ignition off. Don't worry about the screaming engine because your life (lives) have been saved.


I had an experience with a 1956 Ford stationwagon on the Glendale Freeway when I was 16 in 1964 and almost crashed at over 95 mph when my accelerator pedal stuck. My best friend(a year older than I) simply turned the ignition key off. However, you can't do that now with the locking steering wheels on vehicles. So, the only thing to survive a stuck gas pedal is to put your vehicle into neutral and just let it scream into red line while stopping your vehicle and then as soon as you are stopped turn the ignition off and be grateful you all survived.

Haiti could be hit by another large quake

http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20100202/wl_mcclatchy/3416418

begin quote:
By Fred Tasker, Miami Herald Fred Tasker, Miami Herald – Tue Feb 2, 3:17 pm ET

MIAMI — The chance of another big earthquake in Haiti in the near future is great enough that people in Port-au-Prince should sleep in tents — not even in buildings that survived the Jan. 12 quake apparently unscathed, geologists said Monday.

A report by the United States Geological Survey says the probability of an aftershock of magnitude 7 or greater in Haiti in the next 30 days is 3 percent, the probability of one magnitude 6 or greater is 25 percent, and of one magnitude 5 or greater is about 90 percent.

"Three percent may not sound big, but it is pretty big in terms of what we might have expected after a standard earthquake,'' said Dr. Tim Dixon , professor of geophysics at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science in Miami .

In a typical earthquake, the probability of another quake of the same magnitude that soon would be "vanishingly small, close to 0," he said. end quote.

This demonstrates to me that we are in atypical territory as far as earthquakes go. Whether this is just in the Haiti area or extends around the "Ring of Fire" I'm not sure because I don't study these things for my living.

However, if we are in an atypical time all along the "Ring of Fire" then I think we all should be very vigilant who live anywhere near the ring of fire.


Note: The ring of fire is a circle around the Pacific ocean basically. If you start in the Aleutian Islands next to Alaska and then follow down the Canadian Coast to Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Hood, Crater Lake, Mt. McLaughlin, Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. Then if we follow all the fault lines and plates down the coast of California into Mexico, Central America and follow the fault lines off to Haiti, then return down the Chile side of South America then over to New Guinea and up through Indonesia, The Philippines, Japan, and then up to the Aleutian Islands again, you have the "Ring of Fire" which is the most active plate shifting area on earth at present.

Potential for a "Cyber Pearl Harbor"

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/03/us/politics/03intel.html

begin quote from nytimes online article above:
The decision by Mr. Blair to begin his annual testimony before Congress with the cyber threat points up the concerns among American intelligence officials about the potentially devastating consequences of a coordinated attack on the nation’s technology apparatus, sometimes called a “Cyber Pearl Harbor.” end quote

I have been researching about this lately online. It appears that another country could theoretically conduct a "Cyber Pearl Harbor" against the United States and might get away with claiming it was either someone else(some other nation) or a Mafia organized crime kind of attack and bring down internet business and communications within the United STates or Europe or both for some time.

But in an even worse scenario a nation (or organized crime) could shut down all web based computer transactions and communications which could allow a blind spot for a nation to conduct a physical attack against the U.S., Canada and/or the European Union.

The vulnerabilities shown to the cyberintelligence community during the attack on Google has shown many that all the old rules of cyberspace are now "out the window".

The Free Thinkers of the World

Religions and governments and even corporations and military hierarchies all have trouble with Free thinkers. However, if you love freedom on earth of every kind, you should also love free thinkers. For without them there would be no freedom for anyone.

Famous free thinkers in America were people like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington and many many others. They were joined by the Marquis De Lafayette and others from Europe to begin the foundations of the Freest country on earth at that time, the United States of America. It is still a bastion of freedom today even though the argument could be made that it is under various kinds of attack from without and within even as we speak. So each of us free thinkers will definitely spell the difference between world freedom and responsibility or world slavery within each of our lifetimes. So, be a free thinker and live your life to help everyone be free responsibly.

6.2 New Guinea

It is possible that this is a part of an earthquake progression around the ring of fire. As an intuitive I got that there could be a progression of over 6.0 earthquakes in a clockwise motion around the ring of fire. So, starting with the 6.5 in Eureka, California then a series of 4.0s to 5.0s along fault lines leading to the 7.0 Haiti quake which then lead to many 4.0s to 6.0s in the vicinity of Haiti and down into South America. The largest of these appeared off the southern tip of south America with a 6.3 in the ocean. Lately, 5.0 earthquakes abound from California to Haiti and South America and on up the eastern rim of the ring of fire. If this progression continues up the ring of fire with over 6.0 to 7.0 or above earthquakes between now and march and progressing over the Aleutian Islands to Alaska and Down the Cascade Range then I suppose it might be possible that this might then create a 25% at least chance if all these conditions are met trigger a Yellowstone Caldera eruption. However, for there even to be a 25% chance of this all these conditions would have to be met. Also, I am not speaking as a scientist but only as an intuitive who has successfully predicted previous earthquakes before they happened. My purpose in mentioning this is not to be an alarmist. My purpose is so people will be more prepared if this actually happens. Your prayers might help create a better outcome.

The Memories Series

I suppose it could be said that I started the "Memories Series" without realizing it one summer day in 1980. At the time I thought I was just looking up at the mountain at a lenticular cloud passing over it sort in a sort of flying saucer shape the way they often do there at about 14,000 feet to 18,000 feet. I thought I was just writing personally therapeutic science fiction that I found helpful at the time in processing my own varied life experiences.

So, I leaned against a large wooden post painted White and sat in the grass and wrote about Arcane being cast out of the war on Isfahel ( a neighboring planet to his) and banished to a planet a lot like earth after there were no people alive on it anymore.

It wasn't until 1998 and 9 that I began to realize after I almost died from a heart virus that this had been a past life experience in the future. When I had written "Arcane" I believed in reincarnation as my parents had taught me this as a child. However, I believed in sequential forward incarnations. I hadn't considered that one could be born anytime past, present or future and then be born previous to an incarnation. As I evolved as a being here on earth I realized almost anything is possible for those of us who choose to reincarnate on earth and other planets and dimensions. I don't believe all souls choose to incarnate more than once. There are many different kinds of souls(trillions and trillions) I now believe throughout the known and unknown universe.

I made a vow when I was getting an angiogram and electrical heart stimulation and waiting on a gurney along with about 60 other heart patients at Stanford Medical who were waiting for all kinds of heart operations that my fears of putting my life experiences in writing were ridiculous. I realized right then that the real loss to mankind would be if I didn't share my experiences and ideas. So, I made a vow to God right then if I survived my physical ordeal with not being able to oxygenate my blood and passing out over and over again because of my heart virus that I would keep writing of my experiences the rest of my life. And I have. At that time I was the only person I knew of to survive this. Because if one panicked even once when they passed out they would die. Only because I had learned a Tibetan Buddhist disconnection meditation was I able to not panic like all the rest who died because of it.

This is my other website besides my blog:

http://dragonofcompassion.com/

The buttons are at the top of the page for all my writings that are more or less in book or short story form depending upon what it is. Here is a description of some of the "Memories" series:

Memories part 1 through 11 (this is about Arcane's lifetime's for he learns about manyof his lives through Eridian(Meridian) when he is sent to Earth during an interplanetary war.

His Oneness- This is the leader of Lemuria here on earth that started the Stasis about 40,000 years ago. It is my present belief that this is also the "King of Shambala" that I started writing about after I received the "Kalachakra"(Wheel of Time) initiation from the Dalai Lama in Bodhgaya, India along with about 500,000 others around Christmas 1985.

Arcane-This gives more details about Arcane's life and work past, present and future.

Celeste-This is about Celeste Weaver's experiences who is also Fire Crystal on Atlantis when ARcane is the boy Darshan there and in Space.

Jonathan- Is about Jonathan Flow whose life somewhat mirrors my own in real life.

Tommy- Is about my Uncle Tommy, my Dad's youngest brother who (died?) in his own private plane crash in 1942 in Seattle.

UNUS- This is an Acrostic of UN= United Nations and U.S. United States. It is an organization that prevents nuclear war through time travel under the guidance of the Galactic Time Guard here on Earth. It's agents come from Police Forces and Armies primarily of the Free World but now mostly from everywhere because nuclear war is everyone's enemy that is sane.

The Protectors- Are about Jonathan's bodyguards sent by the Galactic Sentience and His Oneness to protect Jonathan as a liaison with the United Nations and Earth Governments in relation to Galactic Government and the Galactic Time Guard. His protectors are Purple Delta 7 and the Sargent, a solar plasma being who is a Galactic Marine War Veteran.

I often write under the heading fiction?

I do this so you can make up your own mind about what is going on. Since I am a precognitive psychic that believes that I'm probably writing a lot from past life memories, this is one of the explanations possible. Do I ask you to believe this? No.
Why should you if it isn't your own personal experience?

As I free thinker I hope those who read what I have written use their intuition and spiritual gifts and logic and reason to ferret out what is important to them.

As I write I am asking questions. What I write about brings answers to more questions every day. Whether some of these are your answers too or whether you have different answers is what life is all about.

2035 an afterthought

When I first started writing 2035 I was trying to convey some of what I see coming in the future. The exponential changes brought about through computers, robotics online and web based cellphones etc. are now beyond belief and will exponentially become more so. It is debatable whether all the changes will be more positive than negative when all the tallies are made. I guess each of us must make that choice every day in deciding what we will buy and what we will use and whether we find something more useful than not.

For example, though I'm aware all kinds of people, good, bad, indifferent and some outright nuts worldwide might read what I write. I take the risk to continue to write in the hopes that others will become free thinkers, researchers, and learn and become wise and will help their families and all mankind have better lives ongoing. That's why I do this. So the human race can continue to be a good thing for millions of years both here on earth and beyond.

I wrote both 2035 and 2037 (2037 was written around June 2009) to demonstrate the changes coming. Many types of physical mutations are already taking place by doctors nurses and researchers doing experiments on themselves and others. Some of these mutations will increase lifespans some will not. In the end all of life is a constant experiment. To not see this seriously disadvantages a person here on earth in all ways.

2035 is more about the psychological changes that will naturally come about as people and computers and robotics all merge. There will be colossal failures in this as well as amazing successes. But in the end the law of "Nothing ventured nothing gained" always plays it's part.

I found as I wrote it, the first part sort of depressed me so I started to add in Arcane and Purple Delta 7 from the Memories series. I did a similar thing when I wrote 2037. I was inspired by Isaac Asimov's series that started with "Foundation" and then "Foundation and Empire" etc. (I checked on wikipedia and the full "empire Series" is:
Prelude to Foundation, Forward the Foundation,Foundation,Foundation and Empire,Second Foundation, Foundation's Edge, Foundation and Earth).

The main difference for me is that I am writing as a precognitive psychic. So what I write about actually will happen. It may not happen where I say it will or even how I say it will but the technology will arise likely in somewhat they way I'm writing about.

Though writing in this style influences what will actually happen since I am a precognitive psychic, it is important to note that I am trying to refine time to make it better and more beneficent to all beings. By writing in this style it is my hope that all beings lives will be more free of suffering and more full of enlightenment and wisdom and happiness and fulfillment.

The Blind Side: The movie

Sandra Bullock really outdid herself in this one. also, the actor that plays Michael Orr? also did a really great job of portraying his character. The two of them do quite a dance and humanize the situation into something all kind and civil people of the world would be proud to witness. The fact that it is a true story and the fact that it mostly takes place in Memphis, Tennessee really shows how far the Southern States have come since the 1950s.

I have lived all over California during most of my life except for a couple of years in Hawaii and being born in Seattle, Washington and finishing High School at a private school in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Because of this I haven't ever lived in the Southern states to witness the change like locals there have.

However, this movie is a testament to just how far things have come being a true story. That an upper class woman who graduated Ole Miss (a famous Mississippi University) as well as her husband who are both Republicans can make these choices, things have seriously changed in the Southern States in the U.S.

The Yellowstone Caldera 2

I decided to look up the topography around the Yellowstone Caldera. I was able to get it b clicking on "topography" in the upper right corner of Google maps after typing in "Yellowstone".

I suppose if the Caldera ever went off like they expect it to eventually, the lava flow would basically do what the local water does as it moves. However, after living in Mt. Shasta, California and having gone into many lava tubes what usually happens is that the air cools the lava as it moves but the hot center part still travels forward and leaves the empty lava tubes.

If you ever want to see lava tubes there is Lava Beds National Monument on the back side of Mt. Shasta which is easily reached in the spring, summer and fall and sometimes even in the winter depending upon whether there is snow there or not. In the summer there is often ice at the bottom of Lava tubes even if it is 115 degrees Fahrenheit outside and in the winter it can be 70 degrees Fahrenheit in some of the lava tubes even if it is way below freezing there outside.
