Science, especially quantum physics, strives to reveal how what we can see, hear, and touch comes to be. A 9,000-year-old text known as the ChunBuKyung contains similar wisdom that is in line with our growing body of knowledge and theories. Using just 81 Asian characters, the ChunBuKyung denotes existence, the development of the cosmos and the role human beings play in it.
According to the ChunBuKyung, the beginning of all things started with One. In other words, only unmaterialized potential existed first. As potential, One never had a beginning, although everything came from it. This can be mind boggling. The ChunBuKyung, although at first seems incomprehensible, is really delineated according to understandable parts, if one takes the time to meditate on it.
At some point, the One divided into three aspects that the ChunBuKyung calls Heaven, Earth, and Human. These represent the spiritual, material, and energetic aspects of creation respectively. Heaven came first and is the basis for the essence of Earth. The combination of Heaven and Earth brought forth the essence of Human. In another sense, this trinity represents the three dimensions as we understand them today.
This original division occurred again. Heaven divided into three to become heavenly Heaven, heavenly Earth, and heavenly Human. Earth became earthly Heaven, earthly Earth, and earthly Human, and Human became humanly Heaven, humanly Earth, and humanly Human.
In this way, everything has these three aspects within it. While they are a part of us, life forms on Earth also take in “heaven” through the oxygen they breathe and ingest “earth” through food. We also release them in our waste. Our lives can only be maintained if we circulate Heaven and Earth.
After the first time, Heaven, Earth, and Human individuated countless times, with each individuation gathering and organizing into higher beings or entities. Sub-atomic particles become atoms, which combine into molecules, then cells, then, ever more complex multicellular organisms. Each entity created retains the characteristics of Heaven, Earth and Human. Division and gathering, growth and evolution have an eventual point of completion, a return to One. This process occurs over and over, a process of birth and death that can be seen in everything, from the smallest bit of matter to the largest celestial body, as well as the systems through which they interact.
No distinction or division exists in the One original and all-encompassing potential. However, as it individuates and takes on definite characteristics, duality can be seen. Yin and yang, day and night, land and water, heat and cold, and the continuum between these extremes. The characteristics of each entity are always changing, but the essence of each entity is still the One unchanging potential.
For our own lives, the ChunBuKyung reminds us that despite ever-present change and the eventual end of our physical body, matter, energy and spirit are within us, and in the center of that is limitless potential for creation. By uniting these three aspects of ourselves, we can align our individual consciousness with universal consciousness—the One. This wider view affords us detachment and choice of direction. When this connection allows us to complete our individual lives, physical death becomes meaningless.
One way to do this is through the ChunBuKyung itself. More than a series of characters, most of which represent numbers, the ChunBuKyung is a vehicle for the pure energy of One. Observing it, writing it, chanting it, or listening to it being chanted all deliver that energy. Leave yourself open to receiving it and then incorporate the awareness and feeling that comes with it into your decisions and actions. In this way, an ancient text becomes a living force in present-day life.

Noticing all the various spiritual points of view like the absolute and the relative, the individual, the one, the infinite, and so on.. we may find that these actually wind up being ways to divide up ISness, pure being. In this video, we explore this topic as we point towards what IS behind all these ways of speaking about what is:
What is actually happening in your current physical experience?
So often our triggers lead to inner threats about our future or repeats of past pains, and they have no bearing on what is actually happening in the moment. When the mind is this out-of-sync with reality, this shines a big bright light on problems with the ego. Along with that, seeing that we aren't in any actual danger allows us to let go more deeply to process whatever pain that may be surfacing. Remember that a past event we are feeling is long gone. Our ex-lover isn't yelling at us even though we're feeling the sadness of the event right now. The future status of our finances is also not right now. So long as we are warm, clothed, housed, and fed, money worries are not real. This doesn't mean we lose our ability to plan for the future. Actually, by focusing on what is real in this moment, we amplify our abilities to shape our futures.
In so many ways, a spiritual awakening is a shift back to reality. So much of what people have been taught is reality is wrong. There's no ifs, ands, or buts. It's just wrong. As such, people go through a lot of surprising spiritual revelations as they break away from these illusions and finally start to see life for what it is.
The Inner Conflict of Illusion and Truth
Again and again, I have stories shared with me that simply reflect people's inner conflict with illusion and truth. To be sure, illusions and lies run deep. People have become experts at building seemingly indestructible logic based off of lies. But you can build a vault on a swamp, and it will sink, taking you with it. Oftentimes, I simply won't engage with the discussion at hand with some of my students because they are too stuck in the vault, and I don't accept the assumptions and lies that create its walls. Instead, I point to people's assumptions to make them look at that inner structure, which is what is really under threat. It's why people feel like they are losing their minds. The old ways of thinking have to go away because they are so distorted and wrong.
But when we cling to the old ways of thinking and behaving, we become more and more upset. The harder someone holds on, the more lost they feel. Certainly, a spiritual awakening brings about disorienting moments, but when you abide in those uncertainties, they eventually calm down. Life gets a bit clearer and freer. For some of you, you will be thrust deeper and deeper into issues without much rest, but the more you simply look at what is arising and stop trying to force it into an old idea of how life should go or how you should feel, the more easily you can see the truth that is being revealed to you.
Post-Awakening Challenges: The Lost Gray World of Apathy
Continued Spiritual Revelations and Revealings
I really like to emphasize that a spiritual revelation is a revealing. Truth is not being added into you. It is being uncovered and revealed. Like an ancient tomb full of wisdom and jewels, a spiritual awakening will force you to dig through layers of sand, sediment, and debris to unearth yourself. It's sad that so many of us have become buried so deep, but fortunately, abiding in a space of truth eventually becomes easy because it is our nature state.
While initial revelations may be shocking to the ego self, a lot of times people admit to themselves that they did kinda know this truth all along. And of course you did! You're not a stupid being incapable of wisdom. You already have wisdom. We all have it. That's why you can resonate with my words. Resonance comes from within. When one person speaks the truth and talks about what is real, we can feel it inside us so long as we are not too numbed out. When we hear that truth, our own inner wisdom moves. It wants to come forward, and that tends to push up more lies that are covering that truth. With your sincerity, you can process those lies, and a new level of spiritual revelation naturally moves forward. This cycle can continue for some time as you drop deeper and deeper into the truth.
Speeding Up Healing Cycles
The Ego Strikes Back
But just when someone seems to be breaking through, they'll hit a new wall hard. This is when it's particularly important to focus on reality. The deeper you go, the harder the issues tend to be. What seemed powerful and deep and important in the beginning becomes child's play. Some of you who have delved into deep spaces know this. But just because you are dealing with more powerful issues doesn't mean you can't handle them. You put those issues there. They are your creation, and you can take them apart whenever you choose.
Part of doing that can be going straight to reality. What is real right now? When the ego is screaming that you are not okay, not safe, [insert your issue here], breathe into the moment. What is actually happening? Are you actually in any real threat?
Most of the time, we aren't in any actual physical threat, so the ego is making you respond inappropriately. You have to remember that a lot of our ego structures is built off of the fight or flight mechanism. Many people truly see life only through that lens, and they have an invisible question always going on which essentially is, "Is this person, situation, etc. safe?" Some people live in a state of agitation because they're always on guard for a threat, and most people erroneously interpret a lot of things as threats--including spiritual shifts.
The Worsening of Illusion
Sometimes as we are really dropping into our healing, everything gets distorted, especially if you have a very distorted, paranoid, or otherwise mentally sick ego. You go back into the vault, haunted house, or whatever that you've been living in. Nothing seems possible. Life is too difficult and so on and so forth. These are key signs that you are back in ego-land, and they often are signs that you are coming up to another big shift and release. Lean into these moments, and breathe deeply. Keep noticing what is actually going on in life. Be extremely mindful of misinterpretations. When we are going back into this ego sickness, we tend to badly interpret situations which is why it is soooooo important to focus on the physical reality of what is happening and not our interpretations.
Here's an example.
You and some other co-workers have been called into the break room unexpectedly. Some rumors have been going around that the company isn't doing well and lay-offs may be coming. Your boss seems particularly grim, and you have no idea what is going on. The other co-workers aren't looking at you, and you have been worrying about how you've been doing your job. You start to think you're about to be fired.
Nothing physically dangerous is happening, however. Everyone is sitting and breathing in a room. This is what is real.
However, for someone who is really out of sync with reality, s/he might get so lost in her/his ideas that s/he decides resign without waiting for the humiliation of being fired right before someone yells surprise; a cake is brought in; and everyone sings happy birthday to you.
Focusing on the Moment With Each Breath
Focusing on the moment won't necessarily make the inner space enjoyable when you're processing old pain or facing deeper illusions. But it will help you to get to the core of what is coming up. Simpler issues can vanish. Even major issues can vanish when we bring our presence to bear on reality. You have to remember that most of what is going on in your mind is not real. Most of your interpretations of how to view yourself and life are taught. The spiritual space only takes you to seeing things as they are without your filter (or at least with as minimal of a filter as possible). And breathing in and breathing out with conscious intention helps you to notice what is actually happening and not what the mind thinks is happening.
Real Trouble in Reality
Real troubles in life are--for the most part--actual physical threats. Someone who is waving a gun in your face is a real threat. Not having enough food or water is a real threat. Being homeless and having cancer are real issues. These issues also pull you back in reality. Many people have spiritual awakenings because someone dies or gets severely ill. This kind of reality forces people to face reality and in this case, the reality that we all will die.
But when trouble is real, being mindful, clear, and open is even MORE important. Reacting from our unconscious ego tends to make things ten times worse and will usually miss hidden opportunities and possibilities for resolution. The encouragement is the same; focus on what is real. See what you are faced with. See what you need. Ask for help if you need it.
Fear and inner agitation will not help you here. So, at every step of the way, the unconscious ego and its automatic reactions usually based on fight, flight, or freeze are counterproductive to say the least. So you don't need to be having an awakening to benefit from focusing on reality when things get rough. All of us benefit from being more mindful, especially when we are faced with an actual life problem.
Resting More Deeply in Your Wisdom
Since wisdom abides in the present moment, we find ourselves resting more in our own wisdom and love as we focus on reality. The truth of what wisdom and love actually are becomes more and more apparent, and life simplifies.
One last point to make about the ego is that it likes to over-complicate everything. Life for its vastness and diversity is so simple in many ways, and that simplicity is greatly liberating.
So when difficult issues stir up, breathe into the moment. See what is real. What is actually happening? Are you safe? Are you fed? Are you breathing? Keep your focus on what is real, and any issue and illusion coming up from within can then dissolve in the light of your truth.
Back in the day, it kind of made sense that there weren't a lot of photos of UFOs, because people didn't have cameras at their disposal all the time. But now? Not so much. Not only do we have cameras on our phones, but we can also share our evidence instantly with millions through Twitter and Facebook.
So when a strange assortment of lights appeared in the sky around Houston in August of last year, people immediately got out their phones to share the experience. UFO or not, this evidence proves something was up that night.
A guy named Andrew Pena shot this video while trying to capture a local storm and saw something even more shocking instead.
Andrew wasn't the only one who saw an unidentified craft on the expressway that night. These photos were posted on Twitter by another Houstonian just minutes after Andrew's video was captured.
I'm sure some people will find more than one logical (i.e., non-extraterrestrial) explanation for all this, and maybe these images aren't evidence of an alien invasion at all. The neat thing about the times we live in, though, is that whenever Earth experiences a close encounter of the third kind, there will be hundreds if not thousands of people around to document it from every angle. Hey, even selfies could help us fight against an alien invasion.
Perhaps one of Tesla’s most famous inventions deals directly with energy, something that is the talk of many social and political conversations and something that could be free to everyone if we used Nikola Tesla’s invention. Over the years, as more and more people begin to recognize the game being played in our society, Nikola Tesla and his story has been becoming more and more popular. This is natural as the increase in people educating themselves outside of the education system leads them to amazing bits of information that otherwise stay hidden. A perfect example are the inventions below which I came across when reading an article on Activist Post about some amazing inventions from Tesla. All of these inventions do and could make a huge impact on our lives.
Radio
Although Guglielmo Marconi was initially credited with the invention, and most believe him to be the inventor of radio even today, the Supreme Court overturned Marconi’s patent in 1943, when it was proven that Tesla invented the radio years previous to Marconi. Tesla demonstrated that radio signals are just another frequency that require a transmitter and receiver. During a presentation before the National Electric Light Association, Tesla displayed this technology. Although Tesla applied for two patents US 645576, and US 649621 in 1897, by 1904, The U.S. Patent Office reversed its decision, awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio. Many believe this coule have had something to do with the fact that Marconi’s financial backers in the States were Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. These men could influence the patent decision. This also allowed the U.S. government (among others) to avoid having to pay the royalties that were being claimed by Tesla.
Alternating Current
This is where it all began, and what ultimately caused such a stir at the 1893 World’s Expo in Chicago. A war was leveled ever-after between the vision of Edison and the vision of Tesla for how electricity would be produced and distributed. The division can be summarized as one of cost and safety: The DC current that Edison (backed by General Electric) had been working on was costly over long distances, and produced dangerous sparking from the required converter (called a commutator). Regardless, Edison and his backers utilized the general “dangers” of electric current to instill fear in Tesla’s alternative: Alternating Current. As proof, Edison sometimes electrocuted animals at demonstrations. Consequently, Edison gave the world the electric chair, while simultaneously maligning Tesla’s attempt to offer safety at a lower cost. Tesla responded by demonstrating that AC was perfectly safe by famously shooting current through his own body to produce light. This Edison-Tesla (GE-Westinghouse) feud in 1893 was the culmination of over a decade of shady business deals, stolen ideas, and patent suppression that Edison and his moneyed interests wielded over Tesla’s inventions. Yet, despite it all, it is Tesla’s system that provides power generation and distribution to North America in our modern era.
Electric Motor
Tesla’s invention of the electric motor has finally been popularized by a car brand using his name. While the technical specifications are beyond the scope of this summary, suffice to say that Tesla’s invention of a motor with rotating magnetic fields could have freed mankind much sooner from the stranglehold of Big Oil. However, his invention in 1930 succumbed to the economic crisis and the world war that followed. Nevertheless, this invention has fundamentally changed the landscape of what we now take for granted: industrial fans, household applicances, water pumps, machine tools, power tools, disk drives, electric wristwatches and compressors.
Robotics
Tesla’s overly enhanced scientific mind led him to the idea that all living beings are merely driven by external impulses. He stated: “I have by every thought and act of mine, demonstrated, and does so daily, to my absolute satisfaction that I am an automaton endowed with power of movement, which merely responds to external stimuli.” Thus, the concept of the robot was born. However, an element of the human remained present, as Tesla asserted that these human replicas should have limitations — namely growth and propagation. Nevertheless, Tesla unabashedly embraced all of what intelligence could produce. His visions for a future filled with intelligent cars, robotic human companions, and the use of sensors, and autonomous systems are detailed in a must-read entry in the Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2006 (PDF).
X-rays
Electromagnetic and ionizing radiation was heavily researched in the late 1800s, but Tesla researched the entire gamut. Everything from a precursor to Kirlian photography, which has the ability to document life force, to what we now use in medical diagnostics, this was a transformative invention of which Tesla played a central role. X-rays, like so many of Tesla’s contributions, stemmed from his belief that everything we need to understand the universe is virtually around us at all times, but we need to use our minds to develop real-world devices to augment our innate perception of existence.
Laser
Tesla’s invention of the laser may be one of the best examples of the good and evil bound up together within the mind of man. Lasers have transformed surgical applications in an undeniably beneficial way, and they have given rise to much of our current digital media. However, with this leap in innovation we have also crossed into the land of science fiction. From Reagan’s “Star Wars” laser defense system to today’s Orwellian “non-lethal” weapons’ arsenal, which includes laser rifles and directed energy “death rays,” there is great potential for development in both directions.
Light
Of course he didn’t invent light itself, but he did invent how light can be harnessed and distributed. Tesla developed and used florescent bulbs in his lab some 40 years before industry “invented” them. At the World’s Fair, Tesla took glass tubes and bent them into famous scientists’ names, in effect creating the first neon signs. However, it is his Tesla Coil that might be the most impressive, and controversial. The Tesla Coil is certainly something that big industry would have liked to suppress: the concept that the Earth itself is a magnet that can generate electricity (electromagnetism) utilizing frequencies as a transmitter. All that is needed on the other end is the receiver — much like a radio.
Remote Control
This invention was a natural outcropping of radio. Patent No.613809 was the first remote controlled model boat, demonstrated in 1898. Utilizing several large batteries; radio signals controlled switches, which then energized the boat’s propeller, rudder, and scaled-down running lights. While this exact technology was not widely used for some time, we now can see the power that was appropriated by the military in its pursuit of remote controlled war. Radio controlled tanks were introduced by the Germans in WWII, and developments in this realm have since slid quickly away from the direction of human freedom.
Wireless Communications and Limitless Free Energy
These two are inextricably linked, as they were the last straw for the power elite — what good is energy if it can’t be metered and controlled? Free? Never. J.P. Morgan backed Tesla with $150,000 to build a tower that would use the natural frequencies of our universe to transmit data, including a wide range of information communicated through images, voice messages, and text. This represented the world’s first wireless communications, but it also meant that aside from the cost of the tower itself, the universe was filled with free energy that could be utilized to form a world wide web connecting all people in all places, as well as allow people to harness the free energy around them. Essentially, the 0′s and 1′s of the universe are embedded in the fabric of existence for each of us to access as needed. Nikola Tesla was dedicated to empowering the individual to receive and transmit this data virtually free of charge. But we know the ending to that story . . . until now?
Tesla had perhaps thousands of other ideas and inventions that remain unreleased. A look at his hundreds of patents shows a glimpse of the scope he intended to offer. If you feel that the additional technical and scientific research of Nikola Tesla should be revealed for public scrutiny and discussion, instead of suppressed by big industry and even our supposed institutions of higher education, join the world’s call to tell power brokers everywhere that we are ready to Occupy Energy and learn about what our universe really has to offer.
The release of Nikola Tesla’s technical and scientific research — specifically his research into harnessing electricity from the ionosphere at a facility called Wardenclyffe — is a necessary step toward true freedom of information. Please add your voice by sharing this information with as many people as possible.
For additional information about the demand for release, or to use as a template to form your own demand, please visit: http://releaseteslasresearch.weebly.com/ As they state:
Tell your friends, bring it up and discuss it at your next general assembly, do whatever you can to get the word out, organize locally to make a stand for the release of Nikola Tesla’s research…. America is tired of corrupt corporate greed, supported by The American government, holding us back in a stagnant society in the name of profit . . . The Energy Crisis is a lie.
The subject of giants in history has always been a fascinating one and a topic that has always intrigued me. I can point to this curiosity as my exact origin of journalism and research. Now a new History channel show “Search for the Lost Giants” headed by Jim and his brother Bill Vieira has reached homes everywhere – educating individuals on this controversial topic. Jim is one of the most well researched individuals on the topic and I encourage you to tune in.
First, I want to say that many libraries are going digital and are trying to preserve many old newspaper clippings and historical documents by scanning and uploading them to computers. In fact, you can do historical research yourself. It is easy, all you need to do is go to this government database. Once you arrive you can pull up countless historical newspaper documents that publish credible researchers to legitimate institutions who are all in attendance at these historical giant archeological dig sites. In Wisconsin the reoccurring theme is Dr. P.R. Hoy of Racine, Wisconsin, the Smithsonian Institute and the college in Beloit. The origin of giants based off of historical and religious texts.
So we can start with the historical-religious texts. Sometimes it is hard to separate the 2 subjects in these books. But you will see many repeating themes and similarities between religious texts such as the “flood” theme and Babylon. It is my belief that most religions stem from ancient Babylonian “mystery religion”, a similar origin.
The first book I suggest you read is the Book of Enoch. The book of Enoch predates the Hebrew Bible and is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah and 7th from Adam.
Giants in history are noted for their cruelty and their eagerness to turn to cannibalism. Which is a common theme among most the giant species, however I am sure not all giants were cannibals. In one passage in the Book of Enoch it describes how the “children of heaven” lusted after our women and chose wives for themselves and bore children that became “giants” and men of renown. In Chapter 6 states:
(1) And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto (2) them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: ‘Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men 3 and beget us children.’
In chapter 7 they talk about the consequences of the union of the Watchers, these beings from “heaven” or visitors from space, and our women. It discusses their unquenchable hunger and how they ate everything within reach and once all other resources were gone, turned to cannibalism and ate man and their own kind. They are known as the Rephaim.
1 And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms (2) and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. And they (3) became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: Who consumed (4) all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, the giants turned against (5) them and devoured mankind. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and (6) fish, and to devour one another’s flesh, and drink the blood. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.
Make it noted, that it is believed by some that the sin against living animals was “bestiality” and brought forth mythical creatures. The Rephaim are the offspring of the fallen angels and humans here on earth. They are known in ancient texts as master builders of prehistoric and ancient civilizations. They may have helped build the megalithic structures on this planet and educated us on advanced subjects and information as explained in Enoch. Dating prior to the “great flood”. I put the flood at, 8-12,000 BC.
Common characteristics in Rephaim seem to exist such as much taller in size with a very powerful body build, double rows of teeth, Six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.
“1 Chronicles 20:6, And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.“
Another weird anomaly in many giant finds, as seen on the left, is being born with horns.
Often these giants created Luciferian religions that worshiped a god in the form of a snake which often indulged in human sacrifice, drinking blood and immoral behavior. It could be one possible origin of the secret society the “Brotherhood of the Snake” which has ties to the Illuminati and Free Masonry. It was a similar religion that the Wicked ruler Nimrod belonged to, Noah’s great-grandson.
In addition to the Book of Enoch there is a Book of Giants. It should be made known that the book of giants is half missing and badly fragmented. If there is a completed version, undoubtedly it would be in the hands of the Rockefellers – who hold the dead sea scrolls in their museum.
The family got their start in America with Rothschild money selling snake oil. It is important to point this out, because the same names and organizations keep coming up not only around this “Giant Cover-Up”, but crony capitalism, crooked science and health industry practices. Which than you must ask yourself “why would I believe anything these individuals say?” – including their version of history they want us to believe.
The Book of Giants is really important because it explains the sins of the Raphaim in mating with not just humans, but animals and bringing forth monsters. These are fragments legible or allowed to the public for reading from the book of giants.
Basically 200 fallen angels, or beings from the heavens selected a slew of animals on which to perform unnatural acts on, including humans. This brought forth monsters according to the Books of Giants. This in the end is why “God” or the creator of man decided to destroy the planet after conversation with the Angel Michael, in the Book of Enoch.
The Book of Giants Q23 Frags. 1 + 6 + 22 […two hundred][…] … [… two hundred] donkeys, two hundred asses, two hundr[ed …rams of the] donkeys, two hundred wild asses, two hund[red … two hundred rams of the] flock, two hundred goats, two hundred […beasts of the] flock, two hundred he-goats, two hund[red … wild] field from every animal, and thousands from every [bird …] animals, of each animal, of ea[ch bird …] […] then […] of dilute wine […] […] they defiled […] […] they defiled themselves […] […they begot] giants and monsters […] […] the Giants and the Nephilin and […] […] they begot and, behold, a[ll the earth was corrupted …] […] they sired. And if al[l …]
Re-writing our history is not easy. However an investigation needs to take place. The true history is being hidden from public eye in order to empower those who partake in the mystery schools. One of the worst institutes suppressing the truth about history and giants is the Smithsonian Institute. As early as the 1880’s the Smithsonian started suppressing archeological evidence in a systematic way. From John Wesly Powell – who developed the idea that Native Americans were the offspring of advanced civilization that had never been influenced by any other culture, to hundreds of well documented newspaper articles published with credible scientists and organizations. In a systematic way all evidence belonging to dig sites have apparently gone through a floccinaucinihilipilification process and vanished.
I believe the Smithsonian’s main concern here is the credibility it would take away from the theory of evolution. If colonization of the planet earth by a heavenly species that mated with our woman and brought forth giants existed, that would be powerful knowledge. It would also give historic significance to countless religious texts including old historical Sumerian texts.
To show how little we know about our history just look at the civilizations and pyramids under the Atlantic ocean According to Discovery, we saw the oceans drop more than 1,700 feet from the current levels at one time in history. What would we find if we drained the earth? Maybe Atlantis or the legendary Lemuria? Perhaps.
*It should also be noted the Rockefeller family bloodline historically holds membership to the secret society of the Illuminati as published by actors guild founder, Myron C. Fagan’s in his 6 part 1967 radio broadcast, “the history of the Illuminati and the CFR” .
Sometimes, solutions to even the most entrenched public health crises are right in front of our eyes, growing naturally from Mother Earth.
Richard Smith* struggled with an opiate painkiller addiction for four years before he found a way out through something called kratom.
“It works amazingly well,” Smith said. “I’m surprised it isn’t being prescribed as a treatment by doctors.”
Kratom comes from a tree, Mitragyna speciosa, that grows in Southeast Asia. The leaves have long been taken as medicine by people living in its native jungles, but the remedy is now growing in popularity around the world. Leaves can be chewed fresh, or dried and consumed in powder, tea or bar form. In small doses, it can have stimulative effects, but in larger quantities it acts as a sedative. Kratom has been used as an aphrodisiac, painkiller, appetite suppressant and for diarrhea relief. Its most promising effect, however, is in weaning people off heroin and morphine addiction using chemicals that stimulate opiate receptors, reducing the brain’s cravings for the genuine article.
Smith got hooked on painkillers after undergoing surgery for an injury he suffered in the military. “I was prescribed the medication by a doctor for three or four years,” he said. He tried quitting cold turkey, and by replacing the opiates with alcohol, but nothing worked.
That’s when he heard about kratom. The idea appealed to him more than checking into rehab to go onto methadone or suboxone, so he purchased some from a local natural products store and gave it a shot. He took the kratom for two or three months and was able to leave behind his addiction completely, without experiencing the crippling symptoms that usually accompany opiate withdrawal.
“I was able to go to work, take care of my family,” Smith said.
Awareness of the kratom’s therapeutic properties seems to be growing. “If you want to treat depression, if you want to treat opioid pain, if you want to treat sleepiness, this [compound] really puts it all together,” Edward Boyer, a professor of emergency medicine and director of medical toxicology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, said to Scientific American.
Side effects are minimal, including nausea, itching, sweating, dry mouth and increased urination. Kratom can be addictive, according to reports, but a 2011 study by the International Drug Policy Consortium and Transnational Institute found that withdrawal symptoms were weak and nearly inconsequential compared to the suffering of people trying to quit opiates or amphetamines. “I’ve heard there are withdrawal symptoms from kratom itself, but I didn’t experience that,” Smith said. “At least in comparison in trying to wean myself off narcotics for pain.”
The public profile of kratom is thriving, at least online. Reddit has over 5,000 members on its kratom forum that discuss its effects and how to acquire it.
Vocativ described it as the “sleeper-hit wonder drug that’s as schizophrenic as the Internet that spawned it” and called for 2015 to be “the year of kratom.” The site surveyed internet reviews and concluded that the substance could cause you to have the best or worst sex of your life, would make you feel amazing or terrible, gain superhuman strength or suffer crippling weakness, and might make you poop weird.
Another kratom enthusiast, Brandon Bird, who buys in bulk from Indonesia and resells it under the name Snake Oil Peddlers, spoke to Resetlast year about how kratom helps him manage his PTSD and allowed him to quit taking prescription painkillers.
It hasn’t gotten on the bad side of America’s drug warriors yet, so kratom remains unregulated and unlisted under the Controlled Substances Act, although the Drug Enforcement Agency has ominously and inaccurately claimed that it has “no legitimate medical use.”
However, its active chemicals, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, were banned in Indiana in 2012, and Tennessee followed suit in 2013.
Restrictions in other states and localities are under consideration. Lawmakers in Arizona tried to ban kratom last year, but the bill failed to pass. And Palm Beach County in Florida mulled over forcing vendors to post signs warning of its addictive properties, but recently decided against moving forward with the measure.
Internationally, kratom is illegal in Thailand, Australia, Myanmar and Malaysia, although Thailand has reportedly been considering dropping the ban.
When governments think about banning a substance or smearing it as a drug, it’s important to consider the evidence and harm reduction potential. With opiate addiction a growing problem in the United States, kratom is one therapy that can help people get their lives back on track. “Painkillers are an addiction that a lot of people are dealing with,” Smith said. “I think it’s important that people are aware that this is an option. It worked for me.”
