    No matter the era, the century or the nation .. there never has been a war on drugs, rather a drug war on the competition..

    A common design that passes through many sites globally is the World zodiac. This was a study of each of the regions around the equator, the animals and icons projected to the Celestial zodiac were from each of the World zones. Easter Island is the section of the Earth that marks the head position. By looking at my picture you can see the twelve zones, the Sphinx marks the zone of Leo, Virgo is known as Israel, the scales of Buddha, Cancer is Stonehenge.....

    Ultimately they mark the full body of the World which correlates to the full Celestial body.

    Hamlet is a modernisation of a very ancient story, Amlodhi is the original. I therefore wonder if he actually wrote anything. With a name like Shakespeare I wonder if in fact he even existed as it is not an English surname. Read “Hamlets Mill”

    Gord, your tentative answer is (most) probably the correct one.

     “Could it be that the state of awareness that these substances produce are deemed a threat to the powers that be?

    They should really scrap 'Out of Africa' and especially 'Recently Out of Africa' theory. Asian hominids including modern Asians (Mongoloids) are of local, Asian origin.

    Christianity did not come to powere because of the message of the ‘gentle prince of peace’, nor because of what the apostles allegedly said (or did not say). It came to power because Constantine adopted it as the official state religion. He used it to unify his empire as the many and varied religions existed within the realm of influence of Rome.  “The Rise of Christianity and the Proscription of Paganism” by Maude Huttmen (actually a study in economics) lays out the series of LAWS (historically documented) which Constantine and his successors passed from about the year 300 to 500 ce. which effectively outlawed any other belief system. In 323, Constanting called the Council of Nicea and literally dictated what gospels would be included in the ‘bible’. Men literally voted on the bible contents at that dog and pony show. Those who opposed Constantine and his ilk were thrown out and the vote was taken again until it was unanimous. That’s how the precious New Testament came into being.  It was a capital crime NOT TO BE Christian at the height of this tyranical thoecratic dictatorship. One could not even own property, nor have a will, let alone be employed. Many of the laws were enforced under penalty of death. This IS the story of the rise of Christianity, not the heartwarming, tear-jerking, ‘give up your life for your fellow man’ claptrap we so often hear. Peel away the sugar coating and the marshmallows and you’ll find a theocracy just as tyranical as any in the middle east today.

    It is also a telling fact that Jesus’ message of ‘give up your possessions and follow me’ certainly stopped at the gates of St Peters in Rome. The vatican is one of the wealthiest institutions on earth.  And please dont say catholics aren’t christians. All sects of christianity are children from the original. They teach the same doctrine from the same books. It’s all about money and competition – not truth.

    A very good idea – are all these world statues gazing at the same destinations ? I have never seen any sugggestion that that could be worth investigating. Many of the actual locations of sites seem to be on certain grid lines, per Graham Hancock & others ideas. Definitely worth looking at all of these sites to see if there are any commonalities.

    I truly enjoyed this and when we look at the legends that exist in so many places concerning fairies, little people and such you have to wonder the truth in all of this. Seems every myth has had some basis in reality. On an island in the Philippines many years ago they found small people and they put them on display at the world's fair. An old woman and an old man. My mother remembers seeing them. She never forgot them.

    This world has been around a very long time they are finding skeletons of giants all over America and so why not the existence of the fairies? That is my humble opinion.

    What is interesting is that through out the world where ever there are plants and or substances that today we refer to as hallucinogens or mind alternating, we humans have used them. For thousands of years.

    In areas where these substances did not grow they where imported into the region and or various techniques where developed that produced the same result.

    Whether using substances or techniques to produced an altered state, a perception an awareness that can be attended, the question is why?

    As the article made mention, some believe that the use of these various substances played a role in the development of various religions, faiths or traditions. There is also a fringe school of thought that the ingestion of these substances plays a role in developing what we refer to today as ‘consciousness’.

    It is also interesting that all these substances that can produce these various states of altered consciousness are deemed illegal in most countries. Where as substances that dampen the mind are legal. Why?

    Could it be that the state of awareness that these substances produce are deemed a threat to the powers that be?

  • Reply to: Mimar Sinan - A Genius Architect for the Ottoman Empire   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Crawford

    Hi, you mentioned that there has been suggested he was born a Turk, a Greek or an Armenian, but you forgot to mention that others have suggested he was born an Albanian. Brown says “ ... the fame of the leading Ottoman architect, Sinan, having reached his ears, he is reported to have invited certain pupils of this Albanian genius to India to carry out his architectural schemes.”  The Indian scholar Vidya Dhar Mahajan, al-Lubnānī lil-Dirāsāt say the same thing. University of Colorado (East European Quarterly - Volume 15 - Page 471) supports this view. These are just to mention some references. It’s better when you serve full information to your readers, it makes you reliable and more interesting.

    Not one of these drugs, in their natural state, is addictive. Think of the people you know who are ‘addicted’ and you will (mostly) find that they are addicted to Pharmaceutical drugs.

    The "War on Drugs" is based on nothing but shameful lies and is an expensive, dismal failure.

  • Reply to: Legalized Marijuana: Canada Comes Round to the Wisdom of Ages   7 years 11 months ago
    Comment Author: Don't Reef the ...

    One of the BIG reasons the United States banned marijuana is because it threatened timber and paper industries which generate lots of revenue, hemp is a free growing resource which means no money for the government. Now back in the 30's, USA ill-legalized marijuana because the plant can benefit many people with its fibers and potential to be made into useful things (ie,. clothing, paper, food[seeds and oils]), and also because it "gets you high" or stoned with its psychoactive traits, they say that is bad, and promotes crime, that is not true with marijuana. The USA government/FDA is very greedy when it comes down to them losing a bit of revenue. From Canada, I say, nice article, thanks.

    So sensible and the civility admirable . But you left out the fact that all of these men did this knowing they would be jailed or killed and in fact, they were all martyred. Did they spend the rest of their lives spreading the gospel as far away as China all because of a lie?
    There was no Christian movement when these men were spreading the gospel; they were all Jews who believed their messiah had come.
    Don't forget Paul who was a Rabbi who left a life of admiration to follow a vision he had on the way to Damascus. Did he lose everything to follow a fictional character? He spent the rest of his life in and out of prison and the only reason he wasn't executed right away was the fact that he was a Roman citizen.

    Like I said there's enough proof there for anyone except someone who is unable to see the proof.
    But that's alright I understand why but I pray you will see the truth.
