"Fanning the Flames of Revival" by Che Ahn, Pasadena, CA

Global Revival Fires

We are in an exciting time—because God is on the move. Just as His prophets foretold, God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh, and we are currently in the greatest global revival in history.

According to Dr. Peter Wagner, around 180,000 people are getting saved every single day. That's an estimated 35,000 in India, 30,000 in mainland China, and the rest dispersed all over the world. In Brazil today approximately 40% of the population is born again—and the numbers keep rising!

Amazing things are happening globally. But how many of you know that America needs revival?

Let me share with you my definition of what Revival—with a capital "R"—looks like:

"Revival is His Arrival, when the Kingdom of Heaven comes and His glory covers the earth as the waters cover the sea."

There are three distinct characteristics of Revival:

1. Rekindling First Love

The first sign of Revival is when the Church returns to her first love.

When the Lord is calling for His people to return to Him, the word "return" means to repent (see Joel 2:12 and Rev. 2:4-5). A foundational aspect of Revival is that it includes repentance.

Simply put: Revival starts with the Church. It starts when we get right with God.

2. A Massive Harvest

The second sign of Revival is when unbelievers are awakened and there is a mass harvest of souls.

When I first met Christ in 1973, it was during the Jesus People Movement—a time when there were huge numbers of souls saved. I vividly remember it being remarkably easy to lead people to the Lord in that season.

When you look back at the great revivals throughout history, you can see that Revival doesn't just touch the Church—it touches unbelievers en masse.

Let me just say that when Revival comes to Los Angeles, we will not have enough church buildings to hold everyone in. We'll have to go to stadiums! I see AzusaNow, the recent gathering that was held in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, as a precursor for what's to come.

I believe we are on the verge of a Third Great Awakening. At HRock Church we see souls saved at every service we have on a weekly basis. But it's not yet the Great Harvest that the Lord showed me in a dream all the way back in 1983.

I know without a doubt that Revival is coming. We are on the verge of it. Everything that is happening—with stirrings in San Diego, our 10th annual Revival Alliance Conference and the 110th anniversary of Azusa Street—it's all leading up to the Billion Soul Harvest that Bob Jones prophesied.

We are going to see the Lord pour out His glory over all the earth. And we need to get ready for it.

The third sign of Revival: You know you are in the midst of Revival when you see society being transformed.

Consider the story of a young man from Wales:

At the turn of the 20th century, there was a young Welshman named Evan Roberts. He came to a point in his life where he decided to leave his job in the coal mines to study for the ministry. To put it plainly, Roberts was desperate for more of God. So he gathered a group of young people around him, and together they prayed persistently for 11 years, asking God to pour out His Spirit.

The Flames Start to Spread

Sparks of Revival started to be seen in early 1904, at a morning prayer meeting at Moriah Chapel in Loughor, Wales. Responding to an invitation to share with the others, a young lady who had recently given her life to the Lord stood up and said, "I love Jesus Christ with all my heart."

That was all it took for the Holy Spirit to spark a fire in the lives of everyone there.

That holy fire would go from a small prayer gathering to reach the surrounding towns, regions and the entire nation. In just six months, 150,000 people got saved during what is now known as the Welsh Revival.

Extraordinary Signs of Revival

That Christmas was the most glorious Christmas for Welsh families. Instead of drinking away their Christmas bonuses, the coal miners decided to buy toys for their children. The fathers now wanted to go to church on Christmas Day and on Sundays.

The Welsh way of life saw such transformation that even the animals felt the impact! In fact, the mules and ponies that would carry the carts of coal for the miners became totally confused. Before, the coal miners would curse at their mules and abuse them to direct them on their way. But now they were speaking kindly to them, so the animals didn't know what to do anymore. The coal miners actually had to retrain them. Now that's Revival!

In the country at large, society underwent a radical transformation: The jail cells were now empty. The bars were closed. They even suspended soccer games for a number of years—because Revival was that strong.

That's what I want to see: God doing such amazing things as society is transformed by the power of His Spirit.

Remember: It just starts with one person in love with Jesus. Fall more in love with Him and you can be that very person.

Much Love,

Tech —

iFixit teardown of new 15″ MacBook Pro reveals no surprises

The folks at iFixit have disassembled a Core i5 MacBook Pro down to its …

iFixit has done its usual teardown of Apple's latest gear, combing over the parts to see what makes them tick. In this round, the repair service has chosen a Core i5-based 15" MacBook Pro variant, and the insides largely mirror previous MacBook Pro models.

Ports, hard drive, optical drive, and display remain unchanged, as does the unibody aluminum enclosure. The WiFi/Bluetooth module is the same as the one found in the unibody white MacBook—a change from previous MacBook Pros—and the antennae and cabling have been slightly re-routed. Since the case is solid aluminum, Apple placed an antenna on the bracket for the optical drive, putting it right by the open slot for reduced interference.

The speaker enclosure has been slightly redesigned as well, separating the subwoofer from the other speakers. Apple has also packed in a few extra watt-hours into the sealed-in LiPo battery, (which could be user replaceable, despite Apple's warning otherwise). In what will prove a minor annoyance to those heavily invested in Torx drivers, iFixit notes that Apple has largely switched to tri-wing screws for the latest MacBook Pro.

The biggest changes are in the logic board. The size appears unchanged from previous versions, but the processor, chipset, and GPU positions are quite different (as detailed below). iFixit discovered that Apple is using Intel's HM55 controller—it's a basic model, but the higher-end variants largely add features not used by Mac OS X, as well as support for extra I/O that the MacBook Pro doesn't have. This chip is also spread some distance from the Core i5 CPU and NVIDIA GT 330M GPU, and doesn't require its own heat sink.

Top: The revised logic board for the Core i5-based 15" MacBook Pro (2010). Bottom: The similar logic boards for the older 15" and 17" MacBook Pros (2009). Highlighted are the CPU (red), controller (green), and discrete GPU (blue).

An iFixit reader commented that the same chips used to handle graphics switching between the 9400M and 9600GT in previous models were also present, suggesting that it may be possible to graft Apple's new automatic graphics switching onto older MacBook Pros via software. However, it's also likely that Apple's solution requires additional hardware or support that isn't present in those models to make it work "seamlessly and instantly."

Be sure to check out iFixit's step-by-step instructions and full gallery of images, especially if you like seeing a lot of aluminum and silicon.

Book by Dale Wasserman  Music by Mitch Leigh  Lyrics by Joe Darion.
Man of La Mancha
, set in 17th century Spain, is a powerful blend of tragedy, romance, comedy and adventure. The musical tells the story of Miguel de Cervantes’ wrongful imprisonment during the Spanish Inquisition. In his defense, Cervantes shares the elaborate tale of Don Quixote. Backed by his faithful sidekick, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote pursues his quest for the Impossible Dream.  He is a man who sees good and innocence in a world filled with darkness and despair. This inspiring musical invites the audience to explore the contrast between the reality of Cervantes’ prison cell and the dream of Quixote’s quest for perfection.

The story is both very entertaining and very moving, and will warm the heart of everyone whose spirits were ever raised by the prospect of a victory by the underdog against all the odds.  The score is a musical delight and contains one of the most poignant moments in musical theatre as Don Quixote relates his personal credo in “The Impossible Dream”.

Title: Topologically protected midgap states in complex photonic lattices

Abstract: One of the principal goals in the design of photonic crystals is the engineering of band gaps and defect states. Drawing on the concepts of band-structure topology, I here describe the formation of exponentially localized, topologically protected midgap states in photonic systems with spatially distributed gain and loss. When gain and loss are suitably arranged these states maintain their topological protection and then acquire a selectively tunable amplification rate. This finds applications in the beam dynamics along a photonic lattice and in the lasing of quasi-one-dimensional photonic crystals.

Quantum Physics

Title: Entanglement rates and area laws

Abstract: We prove an upper bound on the maximal rate at which a Hamiltonian interaction can generate entanglement in a bipartite system. The scaling of this bound as a function of the subsystem dimension on which the Hamiltonian acts nontrivially is optimal and is exponentially improved over previously known bounds. As an application, we show that a gapped quantum many-body spin system on an arbitrary lattice satisfies an area law for the entanglement entropy if and only if any other state with which it is adiabatically connected (i.e. any state in the same phase) also satisfies an area law.

Title: From trees to seeds: on the inference of the seed from large trees in the uniform attachment model

Abstract: We study the influence of the seed in random trees grown according to the uniform attachment model, also known as uniform random recursive trees. We show that different seeds lead to different distributions of limiting trees from a total variation point of view. To do this, we construct statistics that measure, in a certain well-defined sense, global "balancedness" properties of such trees. Our paper follows recent results on the same question for the preferential attachment model.

Quantum Physics

Title: Quantum Illumination Unveils Cloaking

Abstract: In quantum illumination entangled light is employed to enhance the detection accuracy of an object when compared with the best classical protocol. On the other hand, cloaking is a stealth technology based on covering a target with a material deflecting the light around the object to avoid its detection. Here, we propose a quantum illumination protocol especially adapted to quantum microwave technology which, by seizing weaknesses in current cloaking techniques, allows for a $3$ dB improvement in the detection of a cloaked target. Finally, we study the minimal efficiency required by the photocounter for which the quantum illumination protocol still shows a gain with respect to the classical protocol.

Tapes ‘N Tapes Tie Up Fetus and NEddie’s

Out intrepid girl reporters took in the Tapes ‘N Tapes in-store performance at The Electric Fetus.  A crowd of 350-400 people (by the Fetus’s estimate) was in attendance for the release party for the band’s new album Outside (which was available as CD, LP, or cassette – with homemade cover yet).  The boys (lead singer Josh Grier, bassist Erik Applewick, keyboardist Matt Kretzmann, and drummer Jeremy Hanson) sounded great even though Mr. Grier said it was hard doing their songs in an acoustic setting and Mr. Kretzmann was playing on a mini-keyboard powered by his breathing.  The set was amazingly tight and it sounded great in an acoustic setting (new challenge boys: do an acoustic album – the fans would love it).

The crowd was large (and young!) but well behaved.  David Campbell of The Local Show welcomed the crowd and served as sound technician for the evening.  One of our intrepid girl reporters ran into Gabe Douglas of The 4 On The Floor and he confirmed that the band is finishing up the mix on their first full-length album.  We bumped into Cake in 15 impresario Carl Swanson and his partner in crime (and life) photographer Stacy Schwartz who was getting all the good shots for the Fetus on one side of the stage.  On the other side, photographer Leslie Plesser covered the event for vita.mn.  There were more, but our spies were to busy trying to look over the sea of people and focus on the action on stage.

Afterwards the guys hung out and autographed the prints done for the day by Aesthetic Apparatus and they invited the assembled to Nick and Eddie for a listening party.  Quite a few people moved on to this second round and our spies ended up running into such lovely people as Steve Marsh of Mpls/St. Paul Magazine, music scenester Karrie Vrabel, and First Avenue music booker Sonia Grover.  The guys and DJ Mike 2600 spun some great tunes (including the new album, of course).  A fun way to end the evening.

N-N-1 7-16-2017

Here we go with N-N-1 again, this time hosted by Norm.

I took this picture while out and about at Newport Beach in the middle of a dolphin and whale watching cruise. We did not see any whales, but we saw a number of dolphin pods gamboling and playing in the boat’s wake. But I found these sea lions(dogs) most amusing.

“You can’t sit with us!!”

Sea Lions can be such ‘Mean Girls’.

Once again N-N-1 has brought a variety of pictures and thoughts from different parts of the world. If this is your first view of N-N-1, the first N stands for the number of participants, the second for the number of photos (they should be the same), and the 1 stands for one time. All of the pictures were taken by the participants at 4 p.m. their local time on Sunday, July 16th.

We’ll start with a new voice who has joined our N-N-1 family. Natalie Garvois from https://wildriversrunsouth.wordpress.com sent us the following:

I was walking along the bank of the ‘Little Elbow River’ at 4 p.m on Sunday. I was admiring the trees, and the idea for this poem came into my head.

By the Little Elbow

The trees stand stately

And true by the Little Elbow River

That runs through my town.

They witness the good and the bad,

5-5-1 challenge

The moment I saw this challenge on The Girl Next Door’s blog, I knew I had to poke my nose in! This turned out to be a fun task and I got to take my parents to the beach as well. Not bad for a Saturday morning, eh?

Here is my picture and writeup:

I was at Laguna Beach in the morning to get a shot of what represented Southern California living, the Pacific Ocean! But it was so cloudy and dreary. Then, I spotted these guys representing what I think is another aspect of life here that I love.. And I knew I had my picture.

One thing that I find very striking about California and USA in general is the love for sports, fitness and outdoor activities. If I go to the park early in the morning on weekends, I will easily catch people getting together to play basketball, soccer, and even cricket! People will gather even on weekday evenings to play. These people are inspirational. It is easy to say that I don’t have time to do these things and not feel too guilty. But I see complete professionals taking some time out of their busy schedules to exercise their bodies, minds and have fun in groups or with families. This spirit has rubbed onto me as well and I have become one of those people who will look forward to working out in the evenings, and going on walks or swims with friends. I even play in a softball league on Wednesday evenings. The thrill of a win, the high of a happy hour, the playful ribbing for a bad pitching, the excitement of a hustle to the next base, knowing that I have burned some calories and deepened some friendships. I am lovin’ it.

Go check out Norm’s blog and the rest of the pictures! 🙂

After an initial 2-2-1 (two people, two places, one time) and two subsequent 3-3-1 (three people, etc.) we are once again expanding. The original concept was that all of the participants would take a picture simultaneously; then write a short piece about the picture. It worked. But with the addition of more people, in more […]

Travelogue : Death Valley

Thanksgiving. Long weekend. Get out of town. That’s the mantra we seem to be following these days. Any long weekend or vacation spent at home is akin to a crime.

My holidays started pretty much when a very old friend from college Sayali came over to my part of the country to catch up on our friendship and enjoy her vacation. We had a blast, went to Las Vegas, clubbed, gambled, boozed and did the usual Vegassy stuff. After coming back to Orange County, we visited the local beaches which were too cold to be enjoyed thoroughly. Yet we had a great time sitting on top of the lifeguard’s post and talking.

Thanksgiving dinner was had at my buddy Shawn and Alicia’s where food was served to us in quantities that will put an elephant’s diet to shame. I am still eating leftovers and I am still set for two more meals.

One of the very exciting things that I did was to go to the Death Valley National Park with Abhi and Nisha. It is one of the largest national parks in the country and is a huge expanse of flat lands and mountains, a lot of it actually below the sea level. The say that Death Valley is the land of extremes. The temperatures range from 120 F in summers to 20 F in winters, which is around 48 C and sub-zero. Also, you get to see extremely beautiful night skies with the milky band. It was a few nights after full moon, yet we could see a gazillion stars just at 7 pm. My skin tingles at the thought of a moonless night over there. And a date. Meh.

We stayed at the Panamint Springs Resort which is a family owned resort with a few rooms, pre-built tents, RV hookup sites and campgrounds. It is an old and basic arrangement but worked very well for us. The restaurant had vegetarian options in pizzas and burgers and a couple of appetizers. Nothing fancy considering that it was a friggin’ remote location with ZERO cell service. Yep. No internet. No phone. Zilch. Zero. Nada.

We stayed in the lodge on Friday night after a 4 hour drive from OC to Panamints springs area. The drive was rough with a lot of unpaved roads as would be commonplace in such an area. In the next couple of days, we enjoyed quite a few Death Valley massages as Abhi called ‘em gravel-ey roads. We ate and slept, prepared for a an early day. We had some sumptuous buffet breakfast on both the days with pancakes, scrambled eggs, cereal, croissants and such. On Saturday, we set out to cover most of the sightseeing in the area.

There are two things worth mentioning. First, I was awed by the sand dunes. They were so beautiful! Now, I have an itch to go back to Rajasthan in India to see the desertlands. For the nerds interested, scenes from Star Wars have been shot at those Sand Dunes in the Death Valley. We walked quite a bit in those dunes to get to a nice high point and then returned with scoops of sand in our shoes, socks, jeans, yep.

The second point of interest that I loved was Badwater. It is a highly salty marshy area with encrusted soil on top as of now because of the heat and is about 300 ft below sea level. The history says that a traveler thought it was a good spot for his mule to have a sip of water but the mule refused to drink it. So, he named it Badwater. The water is so saline that only a few special aquatic creatures like this bunch of weird snails can survive there. To maintain ecological balance, straying off the boardwalk is not permitted. By the way, there is also a Badwater marathon for idiots who like to run in extreme weather conditions and die. Count me out.

Leaving you guys with some pictures I took during the trip.

  1. September-November seems to be a great time and so is spring. Any other time will ensure that you will either boil or freeze to death.
  2. Come prepared for some walking and bring your hiking shoes. Each point is atleast half a mile away from the parking lot with some good hiking loops around.
  3. Bring plenty of water. Don’t be too fussy about food if you are a vegetarian and be prepared to eat same meals. It is not a place to expect buffets.
  4. If you are a social media or smartphone addict, you are screwed.
  5. Bring all your camera equipment. The place is indeed beautiful for photography and astronomy enthusiasts.
  6. Book lodging or camping grounds well in advance. It seems to get full real fast, especially for long weekends.
  7. Do an estimate of the amount of daylight you will have and the places you want to see. Pace yourself accordingly.
  8. Forget everything above and let Abhi and Nisha plan, so that you can sleep in the backseat. 😀

The city of many memories

I had a really fun weekend. Some bar hopping on Friday in Santa Ana, some super awkward dinner incidents with people who I don’t like and who don’t like me on Saturday in San Diego, giggling away with a girl friend and a new gal till 3 am and a fun Mexican lunch with half a glass of weirdly spicy margherita, turned out to be just what Dr. Life ordered.

I am not sure if I have mentioned this before, but I am in love with the city of San Diego. I just love that place. Although it makes me tear up inside every time I am there and engulfs me in nostalgia, but I simply love San Diego. It is like that torrid love affair that harms you from the inside, but is too passionate to break off. *I think I am watching a li’l too much of ‘Scandal’.* 😉 The city is splendid. I spent my Master’s years there and my last two years were some of my best times ever. The xBF and Abhi totally made my time worth all the ache that has been left later. I would not trade any of it away for anything.

I want to list down some of my absolute favorite places in the city that have given me amazing memories. If you ever visit San Diego, you should go to some of these places. Some of them can be rather touristy or just a taste of culture or could be just a balm of peacefulness. I am not even going to mention the legit beaches here, because, well, they all are ah-mazing!

  1. Seaport Village : My absolute favorite, hands down. I just love this quaint little part of San Diego harbor. It is right on the harbor line and boasts of tiny shops that sell anything from hot sauces to handmade soaps, beads and jewelry to magnets, mugs and tea cups to exotic hats and fascinators. There is this small shop that sells swings and hammocks. They don’t mind people sitting in the swings or lying down on their hammocks. The sales assistants are very friendly and usually are ready for conversations. This place has some very nice eateries as well. Nothing beats sitting at Asaggio’s with a pitcher of beer and their delicious hot cheese garlic bread. It was my date spot. Just perfect when there is a nip in the air.Image
  2. Sunset cliffs : I can sit here forever on the rocky cliffs and get drenched! It feels like someone is throwing buckets of salty water at you. The force of the water has knocked me back several times and I never come back from this place without some cuts and bruises. 😀 There are adorable little pools of water that form on the rocks and you can see an entire little sea world in those. I have a paranoia though and I am insanely afraid that a crab will come and attack me and I will die. The insanity notwithstanding, this place can be amazing if you want to sit on the cliffs and catch the sunset, or if you want to be a total nut and jump off the cliff into the Pacific. I was not allowed to even toe the waters from the edge of the rock at sea level, courtesy the paranoid xBF. “Bahu jokham che!”(Very risky, in english) Haha!Image
  3. La Jolla shores and coves : If you are into snorkeling or scuba diving, this IS the place. I have gone snorkeling here for a Tiger Shark tour, and it blew my mind! We saw sting rays, tiger sharks, so many colorful fishes that I know I will never remember the names of. It was a lot of work though because we turned up in our glasses(the snorkel gear isn’t meant for glasses), and we had to reschedule it. Thankfully I found a set of my unexpired extra contacts and the xBF had a pair too. We used those and threw them after we were done. The guide was sweet enough to hold my hand throughout because I was having real trouble breathing through my mouth. Dude, seriously! Once your face is under water, you totally forget that you have a tube in the air! It just becomes too scary and you end up gasping frantically for air! It takes some time to get used to the nausea and saltiness. But I powered through and enjoyed it immensely. The La Jolla coves is an adorable rocky and cliffy area where you can see seals lazing around shamelessly. It stinks of fish, but the sight of seals flopping around, basking in the sun or plopping down on top of each other makes up for everything. This place is a little annoying when it is cold, but is just perfect when it gets warm. There are little caves you can go to at water level. You just have to climb down the cliff for that. This also is a great spot if you like kayaking. There are many tours here.Image
  1. Point Loma : The panoramic view of the sea is spectacular here! You are surrounded by a vast expense of azure blue Pacific with teeny tiny yachts and ferries dotting the sea. I have actually been here only once when five of us had some time to return a rented car and we just wanted to skip classes that day. We did some crazy picture session in the light drizzle. There is an old lighthouse and museum here. The lighthouse was the perfect studio for even more mad pictures.Image
  2. Coronado beach and island : There is a wonderful bridge that takes you to the Coronado beach and islands. There is a rumor that the bridge was curved and not made straight, in order to get it to a particular length to qualify for federal funding! Sneaky, sneaky. Not sure how true it is though. But what is true is that it has the third highest suicide rate in USA. Anyhoo, the Coronado beach has ‘Coronado’ spelt out in plants that you can see from an airplane! The Hotel Del Coronado boasts of lodging some famous Presidents and movie stars and is known to be pretty haunted. The Coronado island has some lah-di-dah restaurants that boast of a killer view of the water and San Diego skyline.
  3. Mt. Soledad : I have been dragged here at 5.45 am in PJs, boots, a sweater and a hoodie by my sunrise/sunset crazy xBF. This is a beautiful, extremely peaceful place though. One side covers the city scape and the other has a view of the sea. Some sunrises have been pretty awesome here. Especially when it is just a little misty. This is the spot that has inspired many a bromances between the boys. *Rolling my eyes*Image
  4. Old Town : If you want to experience some delicious Mexican food and culture, that is your spot right there! Fun food, fun music and dancing and cute little shops to collect knick-knacks, make this place up.
  5. Gaslamp, Hillcrest : For the best downtown experience, Gaslamp is the place. Period. Amazing clubs, food, my favorite dessert place, Extraordinary Dessert. Hillcrest is a foodie’s and a brewery enthusiast’s delight! I think it has an extensive LGBT settlement and that gives this place a very free, happening vibe for some reason. Some of the best breweries and restaurants are located here. And, of course, San Diego is known for its amazing micro-breweries!
  6. San Diego State : My awesome campus! 😀
  7. Fashion Valley : Countless of indecisive shopping hours have been spent here. Enough said. 🙂

P.S. I have not been paid by anyone to say nice things about San Diego. If someone wants to, they are very welcome!

P.P.S. All the pictures are mine/the xBF’s. Taken by our phones or camera.

Quakes and Shakes

An earthquake of 5.1 magnitude and several aftershocks struck Orange County on Friday night at 9 pm. The shaking walls, swinging vertical blinds, my wobbling bed, earth’s crunching sounds(I live on the ground floor), scared the living daylights out of me. But everything is alright and no major damages were reported except for some landslides on the freeway and gas/water pipeline damages. I did not sleep very well because I was freaked out and was a ball of nerves the whole night.

Post the quake, my phone calls were not connecting and there was no network. My calls eventually connected and I managed to scare my parents also. I don’t even need to describe how scared I was and how much I needed my mommy and daddy. But speaking to them and transferring my worries to them felt better. 😀

So, even if my calls were failing, the internet was fit as a fiddle. I could post the mandatory ‘OMG, earthquake!’ status on Facebook in the very next minute of the quaking.
And hence, all is well with the world.

03.31.16 – End of Day Notes

What I did today: I did some writing projects in the wee hours of the night and then around 10 am, I crashed and burned. I was supposed to go to the store with my dad, but I couldn’t get awake. I felt drugged and couldn’t focus my eyes. Even after waking up around 4 pm, it was hard to get focused. My brain didn’t want to wake up and my eyes were blurry. It has taken many cups of coffee just to get to the point of concentration.

What I learned today: staying awake for 24 hrs is not a good thing. I keep forgetting that I am older now and cannot maintain those long days anymore.

What I am most proud of today:  I completed my 31-part Noir-style WhoDunIt and was very satisfied with the results. It came in at just a couple of hundred words shy of 35k, my second longest writing project. Now I just hope I can maintain that momentum with the 26 science fiction stories I plan to write for the A2Z over at Promptly Written. I’ve also written and scheduled ALL of my posts for this blog for the A2Z. I am so excited. April will be loads of fun for me.

What did you do today, dear readers? Learn any lessons? Have a reason to be proud? Share your thoughts with me in the comments!

What's on your mind? Let me know!

The Unveiling

A big wake up is coming a shift in awareness which will bring the unconscious mind closer to being unveiled in conscious experience.

Advanced technology plays a part in this to help the process along. As well, the same technology can become part of the obstacle.

Three Phases of The Unveiling

The Veils

Everyone born on the planet is born under a series of veils which entangle and filter the original source consciousness. These veils must be ‘broken through’ in order to return to source.

These veils have to do with the temporal existence of Humanity through the Multiverse and the advent of this technology as well as what can be called a resulting effect on the pure essence of the life force of Humanity. The spiritual energy was refracted in a way that ultimately separated various elements into a deviated and dimensionally splayed out form.

In the breaking of the veils the conscious and subconscious mind merge and the trauma and programming is brought to the surface and the fractured consciousness is healed. This is a sacred process and must be carefully controlled and initiated by those who have mastered the experience.

Unveiling Topics and Advanced Technology

The Sacred Process and Technology

There is technology and a sacred process which initiates, accelerates and enhances this process.

Generators are being used to increase the energy of this civilization as well as others being used to control and limit or “stabilize” it.

I was told the technology in place now is to keep the Earth stabilized in the face of coming Earth changes. These changes take place on an energetic level and because the material and spiritual are interconnected these changes will take place in cooperation with massive Earth changes that will cause some landforms to appear and the current landforms to change.

The Unveiling of The Hidden Knowledge

There is a natural increase of the Schumann resonance as has gathered some attention recently. Then there is the natural acceleration of human consciousness/DNA based on the breaking down of the preprogrammed genetic distortions or generational “curses”. As Humanity becomes less comfortable living in a deception based, unidirectional hierarchy, people will begin to naturally disconnect from the system and reconnect with the truth.

Then there are the methods used for clearing one’s etheric field of trauma and implants. These are practices like energy healing, deprogramming of trauma and artificial memory constructs. Emotional therapy and dream therapy. Physical body detoxification and herbal healing. Fasting and rest and introspection on the truth.

Since the beginning of time Humanity found sacred substances, shapes, frequencies, tones, energies, practices which develop one’s awareness and refines and increases/balances/harmonizes vibrational emissions. This could be seen as the original and organic version of using one’s mind and environment to come to a deeper awareness of the spiritual nature of existence and how the physical, temporal existence merges with the divine eternal. These truths have been hiding behind the very fabric of what we consider conscious experience as the underlying observer principle within the self.

An Increase In Sightings and Other Phenomena

Earth Changes, Geological, Solar, Electromagnetic

Advanced Technology and the Transition

Everything is recorded with advanced technology. Devices can be utilized to remote view into time and space. All of humanity is being organized towards the unveiling and there is a centralized team with ultimate access that will be assisting in returning to balance. All events, actions, even thoughts are recorded and humanity will be “judged” first collectively, and then each individual life. I don’t want to use the word “judge” because it’s not judgement. It’s merely the acquisition and alignment of those who want and connect with a certain frequency and reality with each other and their own collective reality. Those who accept violence, get to live in a world of their own choosing. Those who accept peace, get to experience that world. This is not a “culling”, this is not a “split”, this is Humanity finally getting what they deserve, in both directions of care or lack of care. It is balance.

Clearing Trauma

Ascension Device

There are higher dimensional devices which accelerate the DNA while simultaneously, safely exposing the conscious mind to the subconscious in order to activate the latent spiritual/higher dimensional awareness. These are the most intense of the experience and these are the devices and methods that are a culmination of all the knowledge of the previous ages. It may be that this technology already existed and we merely needed to put all the pieces together, or it could be that this technology was constructed for this age of Humanity as an “Ascension Device”.

Ascension Devices

It is good to know when what we know reinforces our knowledge of the self. We are already experiencing all planes and times it is about the brain filtering out the full spectrum. We are naturally much more expanse, but every moment and experience here is still something to learn and gain from.

Agendas and Deception

Lots of people are running an agenda game. They are specifically placed here and agreeing, wittingly or not, to a plan of distracting everyone. You=warned Also. I could be running disinfo. NO ONE knows the whole truth. Trust, even the people that programmed others don’t have the WHOLE truth. A large part of this is whether we’re spreading fear or togetherness with our information and presence. Whether we’re making the best of what we have here and now or selling dreams of some far off time or place. The greatest and most powerful dreams are found WITHIN! There is a science to that, a knowledge base. THAT is the knowledge of the true self! Why would we want anything else? Know thyself, know the Universe. Discern between the true self and the false sense of self, the ego matrix this control system of deception is constructed out of; false responses and perceptions.

The Dissolution of The Deception System

Ultimately it comes down to this. If a person is spreading fear, they are traumatized. If they are not working on trauma removal and healing, then they are accepting the trauma. If they accept the trauma, their perception is skewered. If their perception is skewered, then they are allowing their trauma to spread and as long as they are like that they will continue to enable that pattern in others.

It’s about trauma and healing.

The Reality of The Eternal Soul

Why is it all so obvious?

It was said there would be a controlled shift from the current system of deception into one of truth being in the public.

This can be extrapolated to more than one result.

  • All activity will be made public and the people will bring a stop to deceptive practice
  • All activity will be made public and nefarious groups will stop at nothing, but simply allow the people to know the truth so as to welcome the new age of enlightenment
  • There is no shift, the prospect of making nefarious activities visible is used to manifest a social system without privacy (even though there is no privacy, once technology became advanced enough)

The conclusion may all depend on how people take responsibility for their decisions and reactions.

Rumors of Monetary Dissolution

Can we save anyone?

Can we rescue the people stuck in the mind-control system? Maybe that is just the first question of many to begin to pain the picture. Maybe people must save themselves with knowledge that only they can earn by looking within and resisting the autonomy of external events.

It is through knowledge that we can change each other and ourselves to influence the world.

2016, The Turning Point

This year is a turning point. Celebrity cloning will face disclosure. Trigger events and false flags are being used to try and dismantle personal freedom. Advanced technology and mind control tactics are being exposed. 3 phases of the unveiling. Third phase is advanced travel operations, and the time field-matrix.

Easy to Make a Halloween Wreath

This year when you set out to decorate your home for Halloween, be sure to stop by the craft store to pick up products to decorate a wreath for your front door.

Last year I recycled a Christmas wreath and turned it into a festive Halloween wealth.  I used the products that I had; balsam Christmas wreath, 100 strand of battery operated orange lights, black and white ribbon and black pipe cleaners. I bought orange spray paint, black feathers, small white skeletons, silk candy corn attached to a stem and other small Halloween decorations.

 Decorating the wreath was fun and I was able to get some help from my neighbors children.  When it comes to kids I tend to let them be creative.  I tell them how to balance the wreath with color and decor items and then I step back to oversee and help when needed.   I think the best wreaths are decorated by children because they are so cute.

Here is a orange themed Halloween wreath that would be fun to create.

Before you begin this craft choose a work area that has good air circulation.  Then cover your work table with a tarp so it is protected from the paint and the hot glue.   It is best to work with a wreath that is not plastic as the plastic does not hold the paint.  If you do not have a Christmas wreath then you can buy an inexpensive wreath from a craft store or the Dollar store.

Set the wreath in the middle of the tarp. Spray the paint evenly on the wreath.  Wait 20 minutes and then repeat. When the wreath is fully dry in about an hour you would then flip it over and paint the other side.

Before you decorate the wreath make sure that the paint is completely dry.

Wrap the the lights around the wreath.  Allow space between the lights, this space is needed so you can decorate with spooky effects.

Heat your hot glue gun so that you can attach the decorations to the wreath.  Before you glue the decorations to the wreath set them on the wreath so that they are balanced.  Then glue them onto the wreath.

Next add the feathers by gluing the end of the stem between the wreaths branches. You can also add interest with black pipe cleaners.  Bent the pipe cleaners and add a little pop to the Halloween wreath. Gather the stems or sticks from the candy corn and wrap them together in a bunch.  Attach the bunch to the wreath.

Tie a bow with the Halloween wired ribbon. Attach the bow to the wreath with craft wire. Add smaller bows throughout the wreath by attaching them with craft wire.

  • Wear a mask when using the spray paint
  • Hang wreath behind storm door or under an awning to protect from the weather
  • Balance wreath decorations so that they are eye appealing
  • Make several wreaths and sell them at a church bizarre, flea market or at a yard sale.

The Oculus Rift is incredible!

When Oculus announced their price cut recently ($100 off both the headset and the Touch controllers) I knew it wouldn’t be long until I finally dove into VR. Previously, the $800 price point was definitely too steep, but the $200 cut made it much more approachable (though still quite expensive). For awhile I thought about going with a Playstation VR as a first step into the world of VR, but with the Oculus price cut it seemed like a no brainer to spend an extra $100 on a more capable system.

Set up

I was excited to bring everything home, however I quickly found out how much of a headache the setup could be. Not only did I have to move my desktop into the living room, but at first the sensors were not playing nice with some of my USB ports. After some tinkering around I got everything running, but I didn’t want to leave my desktop in the living room long term. I ordered a bunch of USB extension cables, an HDMI extension cable and an HDMI repeater, hoping to leave my desktop in the office area while extending the Rift out into the living room. Unfortunately, this setup proved to be difficult as well. Eventually I got it working, however if I backed out to the Oculus menu the display would black out and I’d have to disconnect and reconnect the headset to get it working again. Not an ideal solution.

Next, I decided I would move the desktop to the living room to allow for a direct connection to the Oculus, and run extension cables into the office to connect my monitor, speakers, mouse and keyboard. It’s not an ideal solution, but I tried to cover the wires as best I could and after a few complaints from my wife (sorry!) everything has gone smoothly.

The VR experience

The introduction / tutorial experience after you get through the initial set up blew me away. It felt so natural to reach out and pick stuff up with the Touch controllers, and I had a huge smile on my face as I just threw things around and watched them fly through the space and interact with other objects. After that I jumped into Job Simulator and had a blast, but I think the experience suffered since I watched videos of other people playing and very little came as a surprise (for example,  I already knew that when you scanned objects on the copier it spit out 3D replicas).

Next I fired up Rec Room, and that’s where I had some of the coolest experiences in VR to date. Just interacting with everyone in the locker room is a fun experience, but once I jumped into some games with people it was a blast. For example, the first time I jumped into disc golf everything felt like a normal game of disc golf, until on a whim one of the guys I was competing against decided to lean down and nudge my disk along the ground with both hands. It was funny to watch happen, and we both started laughing as he pushed the disc all the way to the hole where I picked it up and dropped it into the net. Best of all, the nudges didn’t count as strokes!

Everything in VR just feels so natural. In paddle ball I found myself doing a little dance when I would score, without even thinking that my opponent could see my dance. He then mimicked my dance when he scored and that’s when it really clicked that VR allows for an entirely different type of interaction with people. It’s not just voices through a headset, it’s hand and body motions as well. You can throw your racket in the air, or gently lie it on the ground. You can look at your racket in disbelief after a missed shot, and all the body language translates perfectly into VR for others to see.

Robo Recall has been another great VR experience so far. The game has some real polish, and looks beautiful in VR. The game has caused me to jump in surprise as robots have snuck up on me, and freak out as spider-like robots crawled toward me. The shooting feels great, and it’s awesome to pull guns out of holsters on your hips every time you need more ammo. Speaking of shooting, I also played some SUPERHOT VR, and dang does it feel good to shoot in that game!

Overall, I’ve been having a blast in VR and can’t wait to see how the platform continues to develop as more time passes and more people gain access to the technology.

My PC’s specs are below for those who might have a similar setup. Everything has run smoothly on my system.

Nvidia GTX 1060FE
AMD FX8320 (overclocked to 4GHz)

One response to “The Oculus Rift is incredible!

  1. I’ve tried PSVR and the Oculus and I must say, the Oculus Rift just blows Sony out of the water with the product they’ve delivered. The level of immersion is insane and the higher resolution goes a long way. That’s a pretty sweet set-up you’ve got there too! 😀

A Critique of Critical Thinking

It hit me like a sledge hammer when my children became adolescents. Suddenly everything I said or did needed to be challenged and debunked, just because I didn’t have the necessary scientific equipment to “prove” the sky was blue or that it’s dangerous for young people to be out late at night.

Thus began my quest to identify the source of this intellectual scourge that had been perpetrated on my beloved children.

After considerable research, I finally found it. It would appear that Critical Thinking, the holy grail of our education system and Critical Theory, the driving ideology of the Frankfurt school, have conjoined to perfect our children in spite of themselves and their parents.

Education has morphed from a method to transmit knowledge from one generation to the next into a process for training children “how to think rather than what to think”. But, unhappily, “critical thinking” is the only “how” they know. Traditional education never did teach children what to think. It delivered to them the skills, knowledge and information with which to think.

Our education system used to be the distillation of 10,000 years of human thought, knowledge, observation and experience designed to permit each generation to “stand on the shoulders of giants”, to enable them to lead civilization forward.

At first exposure, “critical thinking” sounded like an innocent enough generic phrase, probably meaning “essential”, “fundamental” thinking. Unfortunately, simplified for children, with just a dash of Critical Theory, it becomes little more than “fault finding”. The key criteria for acceptance of any thought or concept was that it has been scientifically proven, otherwise it was just opinion, prejudice or discrimination and therefore immoral.

From The Critical Thinking Institute

“The Problem

Everyone thinks. It is our nature to do so. But much of our thinking, left to itself, is biased, distorted, partial, uninformed, or downright prejudiced. Yet, the quality of our life and that of what we produce, make, or build depends precisely on the quality of our thought. Shoddy thinking is costly, both in money and in quality of life. Excellence in thought, however, must be systematically cultivated.”

This underlying premise is probably the most destructive aspect of the application of Critical Thinking in our school system. Children are first taught that their normal thought processes and their instincts are downright prejudiced. They are quite literally taught to distrust their own thoughts and to resist the temptation to trust anyone else either. The only unbiased opinion is no opinion.

This premise flies in the face of human nature. It fails to distinguish between actual prejudice and mere personal preference. It uses the natural condition of being more comfortable with the familiar than the unfamiliar to demonstrate to children how prejudiced they are. It does more to undermine thought than to engage and elevate it.

A key error of the Critical Thinking school is the fallacy that it is the highest order thought process. Actually, it is one of the lowest.   Have you ever had a close relationship with a 5-year old child? If you have, you have been outsmarted by that child. It is the first thought process children engage in or display upon getting a fundamental grasp of language. It is the behavior which no doubt sparked the old adage “children should be seen and not heard”.

They question and challenge everything with a complete lack of judgment or understanding in the absence of accumulated experience and knowledge. It can be forgiven an innocent child who is eager to acquire the experience and knowledge necessary to survive. But in an adolescent in the throes of self-definition, it is downright dangerous.

The whole principle of critical thinking, as practiced in our education system, is to indiscriminately challenge everything, which is just about as useful as indiscriminately accepting everything. Even worse, it is a formula that will suffocate other more productive thought processes such as analytical and creative thinking.

Think about it for a minute, if no thought or idea that has not already been proven is worthy of consideration, no new thought can be generated because it cannot have been proven since it is new. One is lost in the circular logic of the impossibility of everything. Bye-bye creativity and innovation.

Can you name even one brilliant innovation that was not first met with rejection and ridicule? That is not to say that inspiring ridicule should be an objective, only that it should not be allowed to be an obstacle. At one time, coming of age included the ability to hold one’s own against the onslaught of peer pressure. That milestone, that first breath of independence and individual liberty, has been successfully stripped from the growth experience of all too many of today’s youth. They are instead conditioned to rely upon consensus.

Take it one step further, if one engages exclusively in “critical thinking”, something must first be there to criticize. Even at its best, it is a completely reactive thought process not a proactive thought process. Locking young and inquisitive minds into such a cage is an unfathomable disservice to them and to the future.

The impact on judgment and morale of always focusing on the negative is even worse.   It is more important to identify and fortify strengths and positives than to eliminate negatives.   Why would someone put any effort into anything if it’s predisposed to be wrong? If you really want to destroy production in yourself or anyone, focus only on the flaws. Morale and production will fall out the bottom and level out at the lowest common denominator.

Interestingly, I’ve found that while deliberately seeking the positive, all of the negatives are exposed in high relief. It’s actually easier to locate the flaws while searching out strengths, because you don’t stop at the first one and chew it to death ending with dismissiveness. Even more important, those flaws are then seen in perspective and it is easy to distinguish major or fatal flaws from minor anomalies to determine how much corrective effort will be productive.

So “admiration” is the antidote to chronic critical thinking. If you think you may be engaging in too much critical thinking, try admiration for a few weeks. Discipline yourself to deliberately seek out and identify the admirable and admire it. Though nothing is perfect, every person, place, thing or thought contains elements worthy of admiration. After a few weeks, write back and tell me what you think, or more importantly, what have you discovered?

FDIC Issues Guidance on Managing Oil and Gas Loan Risks

With the path of oil prices uncertain but not forecast to improve substantially in the coming months, the FDIC today issued guidance reiterating principles for prudently managing risks associated with oil and gas exposures. The agency said it expects banks to monitor their direct and indirect exposures to oil and gas, as well as manage any concentration risks related to oil and gas.

In addition to monitoring direct lending concentrations, the FDIC also urged bankers to track their indirect exposures to oil and gas volatility, including borrowers that could be affected by economic growth or contraction related to the oil market. The guidance also reminded bankers to “report the results of concentration monitoring programs regularly to the board of directors.”

The agency reiterated previous guidance on constructive and well-conceived workout plans for borrowers affected by adverse conditions in the oil and gas market in order to strengthen the credits and mitigate losses where possible. The OCC recently updated its Comptroller’s Handbook on oil and gas lending, and the Federal Reserve is expected to issue its own guidance soon. ABA issued a staff analysis of the OCC guidance. For more information, contact ABA’s Barry Mills.
