New Discovery
Creates Further Mystery Into Human History and Origins
by Alex Zelaya, Third Eye Concept
As
a new discovery is unearthed, the puzzle gets even bigger for
the elongated skulls of the ancients. A video has recently
surfaced online featuring what claims to be a very strange find
- elongated skulls - in Russia. The skulls have been reportedly
discovered in burial mounds by archaeologists digging in a
forest, near the southwestern Siberian city of Omsk.
Scholars at the Omsk Museum of History and Culture don't have a
conclusive answer as to the origins of the skulls, but they have
dated them and concluded that they're at least 1,600 years old.
However, fearing that people may be too shocked, due to the bizarre
deformation of the skulls, the Omsk Museum has apparently also
decided to not display the strange skulls publicly.
''This really shocked and even frightened people, because the
skull's shape was unusual for a human,'' said Igor Skandakov,
director of the Omsk Museum of History and Culture...

Dial H for
Happiness: How Neuroengineering May Change Your Brain
by Quinn Norton, Wired
This is the second of two
parts on the convergence of engineering and neuroscience. Part
One, "Rewiring
the Brain," examined attempts to control the brain using
surgically implanted optical switches.
Sci-Fi author Philip K. Dick may have best anticipated
neuroengineering in his most famous work, Do Androids Dream of
Electric Sheep?, the basis of the movie Blade Runner. The main
character and his wife get up in the morning and select their moods
on what Dick called a Penfield mood organ.
We're a long way from building a Penfield mood organ, but we already
have ways of prodding our brains. Sometimes we achieve miracle
cures, sometimes just trim the edge off the pain, but even the
little tweaks can mean the difference between the livable and
unlivable life.
Next to the microscopes and viruses at Dr. Ed Boyden's MIT lab is an
electronics bench littered with half-finished breadboards, bits of
wire and solder. From a drawer, Boyden lifts a twisted mess of
connectors and wires hooked to a copper coil the size of a golf
ball. This is a transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, machine.
When held to the head it's capable of electrically affecting areas
of the brain within a few centimeters of the surface...

The Only Things We
Take With Us
by Aluna Joy Yaxkin
I don’t know what is going on lately, but this I know for sure . . .
the dream world is getting really wild. I have to admit that I have
had a lot of outrageous dreams lately. I know a lot of you out there
have had some pretty crazy things going on at night also. I have to
admit that we all have to think a moment to decide if we are going
to share what we have been dreaming about. Thoughts pop into our
heads such as “What will other people think?”, “Will this affect my
credibility as a visionary?” or “Will people start to question my
sanity as a human being?” But one thing is quite clear to me . . .
we really are in insane times, and the norm is not the norm anymore.
In my last article, I shared my very old dream about the shift and
the glowing Green Star that I had while I was still living in Mt.
Shasta. I was shocked at how many people wrote me saying that they
had similar dreams in the past, and some even recently. I know this
dream was about helping us with our orientation during a planetary
shift. I don’t know why it took me so long to share the dream. Maybe
it had to do with the fact that all the words in the world would not
really describe the dream properly. I know one thing for sure . . .
I do remember the energy of that day in the dream precisely, and I
will recognize it the moment that it arrives on this planet. I could
not forget it. It would be like forgetting what a rose smells like,
or knowing how chocolate melts in your mouth...

Parrots Teach Man
to Speak Again
A US fireman who lost his
power of speech in a traffic accident has been taught to speak
again by parrots.
by Mark Henderson, Times Online
Brian Wilson, from Damascus, Maryland, suffered life-threatening
injuries in the accident 14 years ago. He also lost his ability to
speak.
But he now claims that the chatter of pet parrots confounded the
bleak outlook of doctors, who were convinced that he would spend the
rest of his life in bed at a nursing home.
"Two birds taught me to talk again," he said. "I had such a bad head
injury I was never supposed to talk any more than a two-year-old."
But two of the birds that he had had as pets since he was a child
"just kept talking to me and talking to me".
"Then all of a sudden, a word popped out, then two, then more..."

The True Story
Behind Push
You think government-trained
psychic spies are a bunch of hooey? Col. John Alexander would like
to politely disagree.
by Eric Alt, Maxim.com
In the movie Push, civilians with psychic powers—people who can
manipulate thoughts, see the future, or toss objects with their
minds—find themselves on the run from a shadowy government agency
intent on using their beautiful minds for military purposes. Pure
Hollywood hokum, right? Slow down. Retired Army Colonel John
Alexander—once a Special Forces commander in Vietnam—knows
differently. You see, he was once one of the key members of Stargate—a
U.S. intelligence agency designed to prove that psychics could be
more effective Cold War weapons than spy satellites or wire taps.
The most unsettling part? He was right…
First of all, can you explain
a little bit about, well, just what the hell you were involved with
on behalf of the Army?
We were watching what the
Soviets were doing—we're talking late-'70s, early-'80s—and had
reason to believe they were taking the whole "Psi" area very
seriously. We had what was then a classified program going.
Part of it was
an R&D program in "remote
viewing" that became actually operational, meaning that it was being
used to target a wide range of things—initially Soviet, later on
drug smugglers and things of that
nature. Psychokinesis, mind over matter kinds of things. I was
conducting… well, beyond "experiments" because the colloquial press
likes to make light of that. But the metal-bending effect was
absolutely real.
You mean like Uri Geller or the kid in The Matrix
who could bend spoons with their minds?
Uri Gellar happens
to be a personal friend, but it's not folks like Uri. It was
average, everyday kinds of, in our case, senior officers. So we were
concerned because of the implications of what you could do. People
would say, "What are you going to do? Bend tank barrels?" And you
say, "No. We're just going to move electrons. Make computers either
not work, or render them unreliable." This was right at the
beginning of the Information Age, of course. That this worked is 100
percent real...
