We do open our meetings to those who are interested in learning how to dowse, or becoming a better dowser.   You do not need to be a member to attend.  Your dowsing will improve merely by attending our meetings.  Dowsing is a form of energy. This kind of energy is caught, not taught.
o
Our meetings include activities to practice your dowsing and guest speakers who will share their experiences and teach you new skills.  You have a chance to meet others who you can help or who can help you.  One of the best parts of these groups is meeting synergistic people.

ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES ... and  "stuff"

Welcome back, after our Summer recess!

Membership fees have NOT been raised.

Please do add an additional Contribution to your membership fees.

There is space provided for that, on the form.

     The Toronto Dowsers remains one of the best values in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the Planet.

Please renew your membership,  soon.   THANK YOU!

MEETING  SCHEDULE:   Our meetings take place the second Tuesday evening of the month.  You may notice that the September, October and November meetings take place the THIRD Tuesday of the month.  This is to accommodate our speakers' schedules.  Please mark your calendar accordingly.

FREE  COUPONS:   A coupon for a person -- who is not a member AND has never attended one of our meetings -- to come to a meeting, at no charge -- is promised if you join our group or renew your membership before October 31.  This was promised, but the promise was not kept last year.   With many regrets, it was just not possible to perform this task.  It will be done this year.  Within a month or 2 after you join or renew, for those who are eligible, your coupon is included with your monthly newsletter.

TORONTO  LIBRARY  ITEMS:   Please return all library items so we can complete our inventory.  The person who brought the library to the meeting can no longer do so.   If you would like to volunteer to house the library and bring some of the boxes to meetings, or coordinate with someone in this effort, please contact me.  Until that time, we can not have the library at our meetings.  And, the library does continue to grow, as it did this summer.   We continue to search for a permanent home for the library, preferably a place that measures at least 10' x 10', where members can come and check out materials on a regular, more frequent basis.  If you have a place or know of a place that could be suitable for this purpose, secure for our use, a reasonably central location, clean, good energy and somewhat easy to get to by car and TTC, please let Marilyn know.

If you are reading this newsletter from the Internet:

A newsletter is published for each Toronto Dowsers meeting.  A hard copy is mailed to each of our members.  Membership dues pay for this newsletter.  Members receive many more benefits and more information than the newsletter. If you live in the GTA, and read these newsletters often, we request that you become a member. We welcome you to join our group.

        An international lecturer having enlightened, entertained and inspired more than 3,000 audiences with his stories, insights and humor  on a vast array of subjects such as inter-personal relationships, esoteric history and lore, planetary change, the unseen worlds of natural energy, the human aura and healing, David Price Francis has a practical approach and ability to explain techniques and understandings that people can readily utilize.
        A gifted and charismatic teacher on the meaning of spiritual growth and development in our daily lives, interpersonal relationships, esoteric history and lore, planetary change and the unseen worlds of natural energy, he explains universal energies and the laws that govern them, demonstrating how these powers and forces can transform our energy fields, lives and possibilities.
        David received his M.A. in English Literature at Oxford, travelled across North America visiting the Mayan Temples and began a lifelong interest in the esoteric knowledge of ancient civilizations. He pursued his study of esoteric traditions and teachings, from the ancient mystery schools of Egypt and the East to new knowledge and understandings of natural laws. He is the author of The Tales of Dr. Woo (2009) and the Partners in Passion series.

David's book "Partners In Passion" contains a section on Vampires.  He excerpted this section as an article and gave us permission to include it in this issue. When you read this article you will comprehend many of the myths about vampires and the misconceptions and archetypes that surround their mystique, from the energetic viewpoint, which is what 'it' is all about.  This article is especially useful at this time because of the vampire cult which has been created, by malefic forces.  Vampires are not cute.  They are not sexy.  They are not romantic.  They are bad news.  See the article below the BIG BOOK TWITTER article and above the FOCUS ON HEALTH section of this issue.

"Any time Jeff Volk comes to your town, I highly recommend attending his workshop. His presentations on the science of Cymatics will change the way you relate to the sounds and music in your life." –– Steven Halpern,  recording artist, composer, pioneering sound healer

Sound is a potent force with vast creative potential. Cymatics (the study of wave phenomena and vibration) offers a quantifiable approach to understanding how this potential comes into manifestation. As we witness audible sounds animating masses of inert powders, pastes and liquids into dynamic, life-like, flowing forms, we can gain insights into the invisible workings of the universe -- those fascinating and mysterious processes which govern cause and effect.

While Cymatics demonstrates this in the domain of physics, this process is not restricted to the realm of dense physical structures -- its influence is equally at play in the more rarefied, subjective, realms of perception, feeling, emotion, thought and belief. It is these subtle vibrations that must be brought into coherency in order to effect lasting change or “sound health.”

With a dynamic PowerPoint presentation, Jeff will give an overview of the colorful history of the science of Cymatics, and how it has radically evolved in recent years. He will also show video segments illustrating the transformative effects of sound on various types of material. He will then highlight the profound universal principles which may be visualized through Cymatic phenomena, which when recognized, understood and assimilated, can be very helpful in maintaining balance in these turbulent, and often chaotic times.

Cymatics is a rare combination of exciting visual imagery and rigorous scientific method. Watching in amazement as the endlessly fascinating array of forms takes shape through the interaction of matter and vibration, one may begin to understand the principles of the creative process. Yet this is not simply metaphysical speculation; this is entirely replicable. If you use the same material (water, powder, paste) and "animate" it using the same frequency and amplitude, the same pattern or dynamic form will appear, time after time.  We can see how sound frequencies can create virtual analogues of geometric patterns and forms found throughout nature.

Friend and Colleague of Robert Gilbert, I met Jeff Volk years ago at an ASD Convention.

For the past 25 years, Jeff Volk has been popularizing the science of Cymatics, which demonstrates, through simple physics experiments, how “inert” matter can be “animated” into life-like flowing forms, by the subtle, invisible forces of vibration.      He has produced a series of videos based on the pioneering experiments of Swiss scientist Dr. Hans Jenny, and re-issued Jenny's long out-of-print Cymatics books.        Jeff is also a poet and a producer. He helps organize the Cymatics conferences and occasionally gives multimedia presentations to select audiences.  www.cymaticsource.com JEFF VOLK   ON   TORONTO DOWSERS  YOU TUBE

When you see people walking out of a classroom with a look of awed reverence on their faces, you know they have just come from a presentation by Geoffrey Morrell, or perhaps have had a session with him.  Originally from New Zealand, a naturopath and a well respected, cared about and renowned Dowser, Geoffrey has specialized in the field commonly called magnetic, intuitive, spiritual or psychic healing. He has developed his own unique “Clendinning Technique” which clears the aura of negativity, pinpoints the region of disharmony in the physical and then calls on one's connection to the great healing energy of the universe to set the patient on the way to good health and balance the system.

Geoffrey Morrell is a member of the New Zealand Charter of Practitioners and the author of The Healer: The Clendinning Technique. He also serves on the board of directors of the Weston A. Price Foundation.   A rich lifetime of experiences, travel, living and healing, Geoffrey has amassed oodles of healing hints from many cultures, which he shares freely.

      Unique in Toronto, in Ontario, probably in Canada and on the planet, Sydney remains outspoken, courageous, tenacious,  knowledgeable, unstoppable.  A fierce fighter for truth, justice and freedom, she uncovers facts about agreements, conspiracies and alliances that have remained hidden for centuries and that still, few know about or will admit to.   She is a Canadian icon for freedom, anathema to mainstream media and  gives a series of  free lectures twice a year at the Open University of Toronto.

Ursula Kruger, who lived in Waterloo, was a quiet woman.  Few knew her.  Few knew Ursula because she was very hard of hearing and this made conversation difficult.  She had a consuming interesting, intellect and curiousity an attended many of our workshops and other events.  She tried very hard and was a very good person.  And a good dowser.  She had a very big, kind heart. *                    *                *

Our good friend Gerry (Gerhard Burgmann) passed away August 8th 2010 in the St. Michaels hospital.   Born May 3, 1928 in Ratibor, Germany,  Gerhard was extremely well read and enjoyed conversing with anyone on a wide variety of subjects. Conscripted at age 16, he survived WWII. He was trained and worked as a Draftsman and later became a Casino Croupier. He married in 1952 before immigrating to Canada in 1953. He worked as a Draftsman, Life Insurance Salesman and Manager, Masseur, and at one time owned and worked a Bolivian gold mine.

"Gerry was a great friend and mentor.   You could approach him regarding any situation you needed guidance for.  He was extremely well read and recommended many books mostly spiritual ones to me. He was a very spiritual person and an excellent dowser.
      He was a good family man, had a good wife who loved him dearly. He was married for almost 60 years, her name is Christa and she misses him.
      His son Thomas is an  Engineer and daughter Petra is a Veterinarian, he also had 3 grandchildren.  Everyone loved and respected him.
      Gerry also was an adventurer and Entrepreneur.  He owned and was operating a gold mine in Bolivia.  Unfortunately it did not work out and he gave it up, but he had good experiences living in a different county and culture.

Originally he came to Canada  from Germany right after he got married.  He was also a registered Hypnotist and Masseur.   Best of all, because he was a very spiritual and intelligent man you could approach him and get wise advice. We all miss him, but he knew he was going to the other side and was looking forward to see all those who went before him." --- from his good friend Lottie.

"An absolutely wonderful human being.  Incredibly kind hearted.  Very thoughtful.  He treated me like a son.  He knew he was going to leave us.  It broke my heart.  An incredibly interesting man.  A Renaissance man.  A very gentle soul." - Jose Quibus

JOE SMITH:   I still can't believe Joe is gone.  August 14, 2010, from ALS.   Dowsing just ain't dowsing without ol Joe.   He was one of the first dowsers I knew, when I got involved in dowsing groups around 1999.  Always ready, willing, capable and delighted to answer someone's dowsing question, especially when he found someone who was actually serious about dowsing.   One of the best energy at a distance healers I'd ever known

Joseph Harold Smith,  born February 26, 1932 in Roswell, New Mexico.  Married Marta in 1951, began farming, was also a welder and had 4 children, Joe and Marta settled on their working ranch in Johnson, Nebraska.  3 of Joe's children and 2 of his grandchildren pre deceased him.  Joe was a well known dowser who successfully dowsed water and oil wells around the US.  Joined the ASD, became a Trustee and a Regional Vice President, for many years.  He remained one of the staunchest supporters of the ASD.

Joe and Marta would travel — driving many hundreds of miles and all at their own expense – to teach dowsing.  Anywhere and everywhere.  He spoke and taught at many conferences.

       I like to watch good dowsers, to learn from them.  One year Joe brought his 14 year old grandson to the ASD Convention in Lyndonville, Vermont.  The young man seemed to enjoy cutting up and disappearing.
       One day I saw Joe walking down the hall, his palm up facing the walls and doors as he passed by.  Until he stopped, opened up one door, walked in and there was his grandson.  He was hand dowsing.  He had trained himself to recognize a feeling in his palm when he had the right answer.  Or the right spot or person, etc.

       One of the biggest ways in which he was known, was he created the "Joe Smith Dancing Pendulum."  He said it danced because it is almost as if the "plates" were more exposed and could capture more energy, making it more sensitive, hence, making it "dance".  Many dowsers would agree with me that this is the best pendulum we have ever used.  He made each one by hand, using a lathe.
        Joe also made medallions, out of leather, using a McCusick bead, and Marta painted them.

     Early on, too, Joe was a cowboy and even rode broncs.

     Everyone knew Joe.  Everyone respected him, most admired him.  Not everyone agreed with him because his personality could be somewhat peppery at times — because he had such faith and belief in what he knew.   He'd be heated, and angry but it was a clean anger, never bitter.  He had too much experience in life.

     I loved Joe.  For who he was, for what he stood for, for his purity, his goodness, dependability, his earnestness, his love and honoring of dowsing.  His honesty and steadfastness, cantankerousness and twinkle in his eye.  Joe and Marta were the bestest couple going.  Joe made me laugh.  My favorite dowser.  So long, Joe, our Friend, our Mentor, our Teacher.

Yannick Van Doorne:  Yannick (Ya  neek') is a Dowser.  His work is mostly with the land, so he must be a Geomancy variety of  dowser.  He is definitely in touch with it.  As one example, one that touched my heart, when he was giving his presentation at the 2010 ASD, he was explaining how he used music to -- help with -- something or other.  I could see people, pens and pencils poised, to write down what music he did this with.  Someone asked him to name the pieces that he used.  In his reply he told folks to just go out themselves and ask the question and listen to the land for the answer!  That what worked for him in that moment might not work for someone else.  His words were beautiful

    Having grown up on a farm in Belgium, he then wrote his Ph.D. thesis on  "The effects of sound on living organisms. Applications in agriculture."   Using his knowledge, intuition, experience and huge heart, he has been helping agriculturists ever since to further and better their crops, yield, nutrition, etc., using natural means, sound and magnetism whenever possible.

    I met Yannick September 2009 when he came to Toronto to attend the David Wilcock seminar, which I also attended.  What brought me over to talk with him was the Magnetic Fountain (which is not, actually a fountain...).  I wanted to know more about the technology (despite my inability to not comprehend anything around physics or chemistry) and he liked my interest and also wanted get the word out about his methods.  We also grokked as people, sharing similar outlooks and philosophies.

    I made an application for him to speak at the June 2010 ASD Convention in Vermont and he was accepted and invited.  His presentation was outstanding and he was very close to receiving a standing ovation.  (The group who was recording sessions messed up his recording.  I kinda sorta have one and am working on it, if you want one, because you are interested in his work, contact me.)   I also made an application for him to speak at the January 2011 Canadian Organic Conference in Guelph and he has been accepted, too, for that honor.

Using -- "Magnetoculture",  and in total harmony with the concepts of Nature, and sound and magnetism where appropriate and beneficial, Yannick has developed totally new ways to improve Agricultural yield, and soil, in many ways.  He also has a way to help the health of bee hives, again, using magnetism.

Yannick, and his good friend Jérôme Boujon, de la Belle France, and who developed: La Pyramide en lumière, and  who dropped by the ASD for a brief visit, also expects to return to ASD next year, to present.  More on Jérôme at a later date!  Si tu parles français, tu dois absolument check it out now! /www.lapyramide.org/

Yannick will speak to the Toronto Dowsers:  February 8, 2011, soon after the Guelph convention.

Welcome back from the summer break!  We are about to start our new season and October 1, 2010 begins our new year, our 11th year.

Our schedule for the remainder of 2010 is exciting and plans are afoot for 2011.  Last year, our events were planned a month at a time.  This year, the September 2010 - May 2011 bookings seem to have been planned by March 2010.  How fascinating how energies change so drastically and in such a short time.

Our first organizational meeting took place August 1, 2000 at 7 pm, with 6 of us at my place when I still had floor room.  Ten years one month and one day later, September 2, 2010 at 7 pm with 6 of us at Marion's gathered.  Clear and caring minds and hearts came together to see what's what.
        You may recall that a difficulty I'd been experiencing is that I seem to have been less effective in terms of getting things done, for the past 2 years than previously.  It is not solely due to the clutter here.  I should be used to it by now.  The light clicked on towards the end of our evening, not that it was too difficult to see if one had clarity.

When you are on a road, if you do not have a map or an aerial view, it can be hard to see where you've been and where you are going.  What has been happening for the past 2 years -- I've been spending time differently.  And had not realized it.  And one of our primary volunteers has been less available.

Our Toronto Dowsers seem to be comprised, thank goodness, of people who are very aware of the world around us, on many levels and want to remain aware.  I seem to be one of the town criers, letting people know what is taking place, who the players are and make many of the connections, including historical ones.  At times, those 'calls' take time to put together.  Or there are uncoveries and networkings to take care of.  All significantly worthwhile and bring bounty to us, however it takes time away from other activities.  Here are some examples:

March 2010: Spent a week writing a paper that was delivered to the Ontario Legislature outlining the health hazards of "dumb" meters while they were pondering legislation to advance the installation of these meters throughout Toronto. (I figured few would read it, but that it should be included in the record.)

September 2009-May 2010:  Spent quite a bit of time in communications and planning around the folks from France who brought us the "Magnetic Fountain".  Some of this resulted in the invitation to Yannick Van Doorne to speak at the 2010 ASD Convention, where he was fervently received and his CD (which the recording folks screwed up) was the most requested one at the convention.  He has new ways for agriculture and shall also speak at the 2011 Guelph Organic Conference and at the Toronto Dowsers.  And then some.

August 2008:  That was 2 years ago.  That's when our YouTube site went up.  Do you have any idea how long it takes to edit a video?  Even a short youtube one?  And how much FUN!  it is and how you want spend lots of time on it and do so?

June 2008:   At a seminar with Sayeed Karim, I realized why a lot of dowsers were sickening, dying, seeming to me, too soon, and wrote a document on it, which has not yet been released to the Toronto Dowsers.

The past 2 years:  Spending more time finding out and writing and networking about topics involved in The politics of health, such as vaccines, EMFs.

oh yes.  Spring 2010 began: A serious medical challenge for a very close friend.

It was clearly demonstrated to me that when you spend time on one thing sometimes something else does not get done.  Therefore these are some of the areas that did not receive their proper attention:
       Memberships, promotion, CD & DVD creation, production, registrations, T shirts, web pages, the LIBRARY!, and, of course -- Your Guest Coupons!!! (we can thank all the extra events for October 2009 for that!!!)  and membership cards.  And then the queries from you, rightfully so:  "Marilyn, did you get my registration? cash my check? ...???"  (A sincere and lasting thanks to you for sending in your check as payment with your registration and if you are wondering why your check is not cashed within 48 hours after you mail it, thank goodness that is one thing I do not have to do.  After I do process registrations, about twice a month, the checks go to the treasurer who no longer lives in Toronto and we get together about every other month.)

Everything that was done in lieu of the usual administrative tasks is definitely goodly and worthwhile, naturellement.  No, I wasn't losing it.  Not yet, anyway, not totally.  Now we all have a better idea as to what was going on.  Part of the fun, joy and camaraderie of running and being in a non profit VOLUNTEER group, right folks?

If you are reading this newsletter from the Internet:

A newsletter is published for each Toronto Dowsers meeting.  A hard copy is mailed to each of our members.  Membership dues pay for this newsletter.  Members receive many more benefits and more information than the newsletter. If you live in the GTA, and read these newsletters often, we request that you become a member. We welcome you to join our group.

A solution is to be more aware in the future about time choices and to try to delegate more.  Yah, I can do this, if only I can find the delegees!   Would you like to be one?  The preparations for this September meeting also gave me an chance to define some of our structure and projects.  It was almost like writing a resume.  Rather than thinking I haven't been doing anything, when I force myself to write things down, the list is considerable!

A good deal of this otherwise energy expenditure is due to events that impact us.  We are a Dowsing Group. Which of course means more than Dowsing. Dowsing is the foundation for all areas of subtle energy which is the basis of frequency and vibration which is the basis for everything physical, and, as we are uncovering, a lot that is also non physical, hence our entire universe and every single thing that takes place within in it.
         So.  Do I confine myself to meetings and newsletters?  Or do that and pay attention to people and events around us to attempt to comprehend what is going on, synthesize it and bring it back home here?  Perhaps an answer is to remain aware.

As we were gathering up our notes and things upon leaving, I asked: "Does this mean I can not start those THREE GREAT *NEW* PROJECTS?!" and received 5 touching nods.  Sigh.  Thank you, my friends.  You are immensely appreciated.

Finally, the situation with Thomas Jefferson and his confreres continually comes to mind:
      Thomas Jefferson, and his friends and colleagues -- they wanted to be farmers.  They had all that beautiful land in Virginia.  They could not.  They could not stand by and farm and watch their liberties be stripped away.  They had to Act in a way that was different for them yet necessary in order that they and their loved ones remain free.

   Such as, while typing this article, around 4:20 a.m. Thursday morning, I decide to check my email and see a msg that arrived from Dr. Mercola. at 4:03.   ok, I look at it and see the video.  uh oh.  So I spend the next 10 or so minutes typing out the first 1'28":

      "Hello this is Dr. Mercola and I'd like to talk to you about something you are probably not aware of because I only recently became aware of this.  Earlier this year, the FDA constructed a very specific swine flu task force whose mission is to scour the internet and all the other advertisements for any products that have any claim to have any positive beneficial effects on treating the Swine Flu.  Because the only products that have the full endorsement of the government to treat the Swine Flu are (a) the vaccines and (b) the drugs, like Tamiflu.  So, ostensibly the purpose of this task force is to protect you from any company that might try to deceive you and purchase a product that might have some benefit in improving your immune system and to treat the Swine Flu.  That is the issue.  They have actually prosecuted people. They are prosecuting people who sell products that claim to cure cancer which is really quite extraordinary.  In fact earlier this year, they issued a warning letter to Dr. Andrew Weil, one of the most prominent physicians in the United States, to cease and desist.  He runs the risk of having all his assets seized and his business shut down.  It's a very serious problem.  And I respect that.  And that's why I want to tell you that we came up with a product that has absolutely no benefit, none whatsoever, on treating Swine Flu.

Can you "feel energy" ... better?  more?   Many have reported an intensification, that they are feeling energies ... better.  Here are 3 examples, of energies that we have been practicing for some time, and seem to have better results::

        The weekend of June 19-20, 2010 should have been a time to celebrate solstice.  Instead it ushered in a brand new and shameful era for Toronto, for Canada, earning the long sought after but hollow sobriquet of  "World Class City".
        Prime Minister of Canada Steven Harper whored out Toronto as the location and host city for the bi annual G20 Financial Summit, a Group of Twenty Finance Ministers considered to represent the most financially influential countries, and Central Bank Governors (G20:  Group of Twenty) a group of finance ministers and central bank governors from 20 economies: 19 countries plus the European single currency.   Collectively, the G20 economies comprise 85% of global gross national product, 80% of world trade and two thirds of the world population (of the 33 delegates - 2? 3? are women).

       The only people who wanted this side show -- in downtown Toronto -- were the PM and perhaps the Toronto mayor and maybe some other profit hoping business people (business people lost money that weekend).  Highly heated advance protests -- by residents, business people and politicians, too -- were ignored.
        During the summit, there were protests.  There was some violence.  Some agitators behaved horribly.  Many police behaved unprofessionally and greatly overstepped their bounds, indiscriminately harming people and arresting people. There is a lot of  real bad fallout, shame and disgrace, that has been heaped on the police and it does seem to be deserved.

      This was a TEST.
      A bad, sneaky, ill intentioned:   TEST.   Experiment.  Training Exercise.
      Who was tested?
      Toronto.  The  Residents,  Business People.  Toronto Police.  OPP.   Politicians.
      There was No pass.  No fail.
      A test with a no win outcome for all involved.
      Everyone was being tested to see how we all react and behave.
      To de sensitize us.  To get us used to these kinds of events.
      So  they will know how to plan for their next time.

      I walked around downtown, to see what was taking place.  Hung out on a lot of street corners.  So did many of the police.   Talked with many of the police.  All the ones I spoke with. from the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) were from far away, smaller Ontario towns.  Sudbury.  Chatham.  Espanola.  Redbridge.  They, like all of us, were unused to what was taking place here.  And not comfortable with it.  They were getting inoculated with what they were told they had to do.  All in preparation for the next time.

This is one of the many snaps I took Sunday afternoon.  Many fresh faced young OPP officers from around Ontario.  Small towns.  This was a training exercise for them.   They, too, were being indoctrinated, tested, to see how they would act and react.  Many of these downtown corners had dozens of officers.  Black SUVs, Limos, too. Covered up, they looked like the Borg. And behaved like them, too.

     The violence [damage/destruction of property] that took place, on the part of the protesters was not done by Toronto residents.  It was done by outside agitators and by those in the employ of a small "black" governmental group.  Their purpose was to create exactly the kind of reaction that they did create, which was threefold:

• To cause the police to be heavy handed in their reaction
• To create a hue and cry of public dismay and outrage
• To put all the media focus on one burning police car, a few yahoos and away from the CONTENT of the talks and the CONTENT of peaceful protesters.
    This strategy is so old.  I saw it close up in University, when several I knew were part of a radical student organization.  I saw how they infiltrated, how they created misdirection, misinformation, destruction and violence.  Same old same old.  Borrring.

     Steven Harper had no business forcing this on Toronto.  He is the one who should face charges.  Not the police.  Not the protesters.   They and the rest of Toronto are the victims.  Harper is the one who is guilty. Harper is the criminal.  He and his henchmen.   I wish more people understood this.

Astrological Alignments:   Mark Lerner  offers upcoming celestial alignments that will influence humanity:

    * Starting the week of September 7,  Jupiter goes back into Pisces for several more months. An opportunity for those with water signs to tap into Jupiterian benevolence.
    * A Jupiter-Uranus conjunction (only happens every 14 years) occurs on Sat. September 18th. A spectacular time for anything that's cutting edge, highly scientific or metaphysical.
    * Venus goes retrograde from Oct. 8th – Nov. 18th, and this can affect the emotions (particularly of women), making them more unsettled.
    * America will experience its Saturn return (happens every 30 years) on December 3rd. Saturn has wonderful qualities like hard work and perseverance but can also represent worry, stress and depression. During a previous Saturn return period in 1981, the country had a serious recession, which may mean we're facing more tough economic times ahead.

One and Two:  The first 2 go together.  I do this before I begin any dowsing.  I can feel the energies changing within about the past 4-6 months.  It used to be that I would need to do these maybe 2 or 3 times / week.  Now, its 2 or 3 times / day.  I strongly suggest you read this, then do it and keep on doing it.  It will strengthen your energy fields, your energy body.

I learned the first 2 -- which are energy dowsing related -- about 10 years ago from Eric Dowsett:

      Traditionally, dowsing has been used for detection and assessment, usually to provide answers to questions that can be answered with a "yes" or a "no".  "Energy" dowsing can be considered to be the next evolutionary stage, where, by using a pendulum, dowsing moves from a passive state (detection) to an active state (causing change).

More than 20 years ago, famous herbalist and dowser Hanna Kroeger (Germany / Colorado) started teaching her students how to use the pendulum to change energies.  Hanna was a Master Dowser.  Fast and accurate.  Probably a bit of a  medical intuitive as well.  That happens, when a capable person practices this art for some time.

Bob Sird, (Vermont) quiet, kind, deeply profound Master Dowser in his mild mannered approach has been teaching energy dowsing techniques to students for years, to help them improve and clear their spaces.

1999 I met expert dowser Eric Dowsett.  In 5 minutes, he forever changed my dowsing.  He taught me the following 2 tips, that I share with you here so they can become as valuable for you as they are for me.  So very simple.   I urge you to make this part of your own habit.

EMFs..  WiFi.  Dumb Meters.  Cell Phones.  Cell Phone Antennas.  Wireless Phones.  Microwave ovens.  Ionizing.  Non Ionizing.  Radio Frequency.  How Much More Incredibly STUPID. Dense. Moronic. Obtuse. Mentally Deficient. Ignorant. dumb DUMB DUMBER  are our industry "leaders", government "leaders", health "leaders", bureaucrats, elected and non -- going to be?  How much dumber do WE need to get to keep on keeping on allowing them to dictate to us? (NOT just on EMFs. On food, fluoridated water, vaccines, etc)

I ask myself, I ask us, I ask you, I ask everyone -- why, as a dowser, am I/we expending so much energy and resources on the EMF question?  GeezLewize, must have forgotten the humongous article(s) *I* wrote answering this very same question, and much more, in our May 2010 (last) issue !*!*!

Some of the stuff that's been going on this summer:

(1)      May, August 2010:  A long term Toronto apartment tenant, a single mom and her daughter who happily lived on the top floor of an apartment building in Toronto -- (Oakwood and St. Clair area) --- they started to become very ill between December 2009 and February 2010.    Nausea, dizziness, buzzing in the ears, headaches, head pressure, difficulty sleeping, brain fog, skin rash, burning sensation in the skin, and a metallic taste in the mouth were just some of the symptoms.   They became so sick, they could no longer stay in their apartment and moved in with friends.
      December 2009 antennas were installed on the roof of their building.  So close they could be touched by a broom from the top floor balcony.
      Mother and Daughter can not live in their apartment due to the installation of these antennas.   They are requesting a rent abatement.   Both the hearing scheduled for May 2010 and then for August 2010 at the Landlord Tenant board have been postponed.
      Bell Canada requested, of the landlord, to be a party to the proceedings.  This should be interesting and set a precedent (but probably not a legal one)  for similar situations in North America.
 

(2)  July 20,  California:    WHY?   What would cause thousands of citizens to be furious and to angrily demonstrate about devices that have been promised to save them money and help the environment?
    Angry citizens held a demonstration in front of the California Public Utilities Commission's San Francisco headquarters calling for a halt to PG&E's forced mass installation of wireless 'smart' meters without human health and environmental testing. Participants explain why. /tinyurl.com/2ez8xry

     "My name is Alan Horn. I live is Sepastopol.  I am a VietNam veteran.  I have been trained, by the military, in the use of radiation, as a weapon of war.  That radiation includes both ionizing radiation and non ionizing radiation.
     "Although most of what I have been taught by the military, and I had a secret clearance, focused on the ionizing side of the radiation chart.  Because I was in the Coast Guard,  I was exposed to radio frequency warfare devices that disabled the engines of other ships, and that jammed the telecommunications and radio of other ships, that disabled human beings and was also able to kill other human beings.   We had these devices on board our ship but we never used them.  ...  The same devices we had on the ship?  The smart meters are emitting the same form of radiation.   Its non ionizing radiation. ...  Its on the radio wave band.  It's the exact same radiation that we were trained to use, as a weapon of war.  ....  We don't allow machine guns and flame throwers and hand grenades.  We should not allow people access to radiation.  ...  We're going to put these weapons of war on the side of every house?!  No way!   Hell No!"
 

(3)    August 2010:  Parents in Simcoe County (Ontario) are concerned because their kids are becoming ill.  They feel sick in school, with heart palpitations, dizziness, headaches, nausea.  They feel fine when they are home.   Heart monitors have demonstrated the difference between what is happening, physiologically, at home, and, at school.  Parents are concerned and want the recently installed wifi system to be removed.  The teachers union, School officials, Canada Health and so on allege that these parents do not know what they are talking about, that Health Canada knows best (YES!  BRAD SAUNDERS, brad.saunders@bell.net Chairman of the Board ACTUALLY SAID THAT!  on Television!) and that they are not even interested in following a cautionary approach!  (Is it ok to call this man a nitwit?)
 

(4)    August 24, 2010, invited by the Simcoe County parents, and his expenses paid by them, Barrie Trower flew here from the UK and spoke at the University of Toronto.  Barrie Trower was in the British Secret Service and debriefed spies who used stealth microwave weapons.

"I trained at the Governments Microwave Warfare establishment in 60’s. I worked with the underwater bomb disposal unit, which used microwaves.  In the 70’s I helped de-brief spies trained in microwave warfare.
My first degree is in Physics (I specialised in microwaves)
My second degree is a research degree.
I have a teaching diploma in human physiology.
I teach advanced physics and mathematics at South Dartmoor College.

Author of the Tetra Report for the Police Federation. I predicted the illnesses, which the officers now complain of.
I predicted the illnesses the residents now complain of.
These are illnesses that occurred before my report was published and cannot be psychosomatic.
At a conference in Birmingham I said “ This Government, Industry and Government Scientists will be responsible for more deaths (of civilians) in peace time
than all the terrorist organizations ever.” The evidence I have is showing this is correct. I put my money where my mouth is and stand my ground.
It is easy to prove TETRA is not safe.

I would like those who sign to say it is” and should go ahead, to stand trial in future years for their decisions.

If microwave systems are safe. Why is there a still on-going stealth warfare industry, going back 60 years, based on the fact that these waves (AT TETRA STRENGTH) are and have been used to cause illnesses now occurring in residents / police officers?"

 He believes WiFi in schools is dangerous and he told us why.  From my notes:::    He said that he:
  "... came out of retirement because he realized that the technology used for warfare is now being used for communications.  Microwaves were, and are, used as a stealth weapon.  All of the proof is hidden in government drawers.  Microwaves are cancer inducing which we knew from the 50's and 60's....  The proof is hidden away (he gave Magda Havas a copy of the documents). ... Microwaves affect lungs, destroy brain cells.  Cause heart seizures, leaks in the blood brain barrier.  They make someone feel they are hearing sounds.  They cause entrainment.  It could take 6 weeks for the body to recover.  A child, using a cell phone for 2 minutes (at which point you can introduce different behavior to them and then they will act out of it) can take 2 hours to comeback to normal.  Introduces sexual aggression in men.   Introduces an inability to make decisions. ... By 1971 all the research was done on this (microwaves).  Over 2,300 documents were created.  The most important document is the summary by the DIA, 1976, which lists the illnesses you can get from low level mw exposure.  They admitted that "it should be kept secret to preserve industrial profit....  If this is known around the world it threatens military and civilian investments."
     "The International Committee for Ionization and Radiation Guidelines, page 545 "... children, elderly and sensitive individuals might be more sensitive to mw radiation.... Children are nearer the size of a wave and act as antennas..." ... Why people become ill from mw radiation, there are changes in:  the ATP bond, cellular leakage..."  He followed the energy of the mw into the brain and how it disrupts the delta and theta frequencies.  People really start to feel unwell after 18 months of continual exposure at which point your cells start to break down. ... Children, particularly are at risk, for 4 main reasons.   There is no known safe level of mw radiation for a child, in the world.  Children are NOT small adults.  They are physically and neurologically immature adults and it takes a few years for their blood brain barrier to form.  MW radiation makes the holes bigger in the blood brain barrier..  Toxins can leak in, therefore leading to some sort of psychiatric problem.  The myelin sheath has 122 layers of protein.  It takes 22 years to develop it.  Low level MW s affect protein synthesis.  A child's immune system takes 18 years to develop.  low level mws affect ovarian follicles.  This means you can damage the mitochondria DNA.  The genes.  Every future generation will henceforth carry those defects.  Russia is banning any child under 18 from mw exposure.   MW radiation for a fetus is like giving the brain 1,800,000 electrical shocks per second. ... They are spending 123,000,000 Euros in the EU to take WIFI out of schools and replace it with fiber optic!

      "...The radiation used in cellphone/wifi technology is identical in every respect to the radiation that was used as a weapon:  the same pulsed frequencies, the same intensities, the same carrier waves.  Particularly highlighted are depression and suicide in young people as one of the first symptoms of exposure to microwave radiation from cell phones/cell masts/wifi."

One of "our" folks who is DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT:

What Barrie Trower suggested one do, as a stopgap measure, so you can somewhat protect yourself in your home or apartment and if there are microwaves, etc., around you:

      Do you remember --- THE TORONTO DOWSERS BIG BOOK?

      It is a G*O*R*G*E*O*U*S ! ! !   BIG BOOK!  "Impressive" is too insignificant a word with which to describe it.   Can you picture a book -- whose colorful Plasticor pages are 20 inches by 20 inches?   Then placed in a looseleaf binder, on a wooden form.   Way way cooool!
     This was made to display at the 2009 ASD Convention.   Each page -- its double sided displays 4 graphics.  Each graphic shows products, services, accomplishments, events and more by a Toronto Dowsers member.
      Contributions from members for our "Toronto Dowsers 'BOOK'!" were, and are, stupendous.  In a spring 2009 issue, and through emails and phone calls, it was requested that members send via post or email a one page flyer about who they are and/or what they do.  The purpose is so a BIG BOOK! could be made and:

     A  MILLION THANKS  to: TIM RUHL, a former Canadian MotoCross Champion and former owner of the largest motorcycle repair shop in Canada!   Tim BUILT! our book frame!   AND!  to my good buddy Chris, who cut the pages to size -- 20" x 20" each -- and drilled holes in them so they would fit into the loose leaf rings.

    Wait till you see it -- at the next meeting you attend, or on the web site.  And yes, you can still add to it.

     TWITTER.COM:  Am probably the last person on the planet to sign up on Twitter.  It's fun!  What you do is -- sign up -- its easy and non invasive.  You can use Twitter to make short  (140 character) announcements.  Called Tweets.  You can then sign up to automatically get sent the Tweets from others.  This does NOT mean it clogs up your email in box.  It means when you go to your Twitter home page, you see the listing of Tweets from folks you want.  So I signed up to see a listing of announcements from: Juanita Ott of DowseThis, David Price Francis, Vesica, Joey Korn, Ibrahim Karim, IEWS, Debbie Papadakis and more.

      VAMPIRES - THE INSIDE STORY

The mythology of the vampire reveals much about the human condition in relation to the energetic formations that live in the lower energy worlds. Bram Stoker, the author of  the gothic novel Dracula, was absorbed in esoteric studies and poured some of his understandings of the human condition and the energy worlds into the vampire myth he created. In our time, as the astral light continues to become increasingly filled with signals in the lower occult, stories of vampires are more popular than ever before. It is as if, at a collective subconscious level, there is an awareness that these tales speak of something in the darker realms that truly lives. Somehow, these stories resonate deeply in our psyche and cause terror, fascination and arousal in our souls. In truth, most of us have probably come into contact with some form of these vampiric, lower energetic forces that live by feeding on the life force of human beings. Whether through becoming entangled in toxic intimate relationships, friendships or work circumstances, many of us know the feeling of having our energy, optimism and enthusiasm for life siphoned away until we are compelled to end the situations we have helped create and, in extreme cases, run for our energetic lives. The mythology of the vampire offers enough genuine insights into the workings of the unseen worlds and practical technologies available to repel the lower forces that live therein, to be worthy of examination.

Folklore tells us that vampires cannot be seen in mirrors because they exist in the unseen worlds of force and so do not cause a physical reflection. They can also shapeshift their form as they are not physical beings but live in the energy worlds and so can change shape from human to bat at will and back again.

Vampires cannot cross running water as this causes the breaking up of static or stuck energy and is why showers are so effective when cleaning and clearing the aura and why lower energies, which vampires represent, are broken up when an atmosphere is energetically cleaned. Further, vampires are said to be destroyed by sharp stakes being driven through them. One method of energetic cleaning involves jabbing a sharp object into the corners of a room, where lower energy formations tend to accumulate and grow in power. The sharp point breaks up these low formations, enabling a space to then be cleaned by the use of bells and incense (see Chapter 6 of Partners in Passion, Energize Your Space).

Another component of energetic cleaning that appears in the vampire myth is the placing of garlic, also traditionally known to be a great cleanser of pollutants from the blood when eaten, in windows to keep vampires at bay. Again, in energetic cleaning and clearing, garlic and other members of the onion family can be used to absorb lower forms of energy. It is not that the garlic would destroy the vampire, but that in passing through it, part of the lower energies grouped by Bram Stoker under the name 'vampire'; would be absorbed and thus this lower energy formation would be diminished. When garlic is hung in the window, it is designed to absorb lower energies into itself, thus making the house repulsive to lower energies. Dream-catchers in the Native American tradition are also employed for just this purpose. Dream catchers cannot catch bad dreams; their purpose is to absorb and deflect the energies that cause them. In the Eastern tradition mirrors are traditionally used to reflect and deflect lower energies and keep them out of any protected space.

The rays of the sun combat disease and lower energies that corrupt the human system and are used as a component in the therapeutic treatment of conditions such as depression and the prevention of breast cancer. Vampires, being powers in the lower occult, are destroyed by exposure to sunlight, which is the direct issue of the illuminated power of the sun and has healing and disinfectant qualities.

      On the excellent nightly 4 hour CoasttoCoast radio show,  host George Noory favors the health advice of Dr. Christian Wilde.  Dr. Wilde says that "Turmeric can not be surpassed when it comes to strengthening the immune system."
      "The lowest incidence of various forms of cancer including, arthritis and other chronic inflammatory diseases is found  in India where this spice is used in the everyday diet."
     I go to Herbie's Herbs (on Queen, by Bathurst), buy Turmeric (its all organic and high quality), where I also bought a capsule filling unit (inexpensive) and empty capsules.

Turmeric, a flowering plant in the ginger family, is widely used as a food coloring and is one of the principal ingredients in curry powder. Turmeric has long been used in both Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine as an anti-inflammatory, to treat digestive disorders and liver problems, and for the treatment of skin diseases and wound healing. The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which has been the subject of numerous animal studies, but as of yet, very few studies on people, demonstrating various medicinal properties. Curcumin has been shown, for example, to stimulate the production of bile and to facilitate the emptying of the gallbladder. It has also demonstrated in animals a protective effect on the liver, anti-tumor action, and ability to reduce inflammation and fight certain infections.

Research suggests that turmeric may be helpful for the following conditions (Extracted notes follow):

Digestive Disorders:  (stomach upset, gas, abdominal cramps): The German Commission E  approved turmeric for a variety of digestive disorders. Curcumin, for example, one of the active ingredients in turmeric, induces the flow of bile, which helps break down fats.

Osteoarthritis: Because of its ability to reduce inflammation

Atherosclerosis:  Early studies suggest that turmeric may prove helpful in preventing the build up of atherosclerosis (blockage of arteries that can eventually cause a heart attack or stroke) in one of two ways. First, in animal studies an extract of turmeric lowered cholesterol levels and inhibited the oxidation of LDL.   Oxidized LDL deposits in the walls of blood vessels and contributes to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Turmeric may also prevent platelet build up along the walls of an injured blood vessel. Platelets collecting at the site of a damaged blood vessel cause blood clots to form and blockage of the artery as well.

Cancer:  There has been a substantial amount of research on turmeric's anti-cancer potential.  Evidence from laboratory and animal studies suggests that curcumin has potential in the treatment of various forms of cancer, including prostate, breast, skin, and colon.

Roundworms and Intestinal worms:  Laboratory studies suggest that curcuminoids, the active components of turmeric, may reduce the destructive activity of parasites or roundworms.

Liver Disease:  Animal studies provide evidence that turmeric can protect the liver from a number of damaging substances such as carbon tetrachloride and acetominophen (also called paracetamol, this medication, used commonly for headache and pain, can cause liver damage if taken in large quantities or by someone who drinks alcohol regularly.) Turmeric accomplishes this by helping to clear such toxins from the body and by protecting the liver from damage.

Bacterial Infection:  Turmeric's volatile oil functions as an external antibiotic, preventing bacterial infection in wounds.

Wounds:  In animal studies, turmeric applied to wounds hastens the healing process.

Mosquito Repellent:  A mixture of the volatile oils of turmeric, citronella, and hairy basil, with the addition of vanillin, may be an alternative to D.E.E.T.

Eye Disorder:  One study of 32 people with uveitis  suggests that curcumin may prove to be as effective as corticosteroids, the type of medication generally prescribed for this eye disorder. The uvea contains many of the blood vessels that nourish the eye. Inflammation of this area, therefore, can affect the cornea, the retina, the sclera, and other important parts of the eye.

Pediatric:  While turmeric may be helpful for the treatment of inflammatory conditions in children, appropriate doses have not yet been established.

YOUR ADRENALS.   AND   VITAMIN  C

       Do you ever wake in in the morning, even after a long night of sleep, only to feel sluggish and wishing you had another few hours to rest?  This is one of many signs of adrenal fatigue. Your adrenal glands are your body's mechanism for responding to stressful situations, like being chased by a tiger.  Unfortunately we have our own modern day tigers, and they chase some of us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  What are some of your tigers?
       Whatever it is, the response is similar to a real tiger chasing you.  Your adrenal glands step into action and do what they do best ... shift you into "fight/flight mode", and in scientific terms, "sympathetic nervous system dominance".  In this hyper vigilant adrenal state, your heart rate increases, your respiration quickens and the blood supply to your brain and vital organs decreases and is sent to your extremities ... so you can run away or fight.  In addition, your digestive track activity decreases and the sphincters-- the valves between sections of the digestive tract-- tighten.  This is to protect you from needing to use the bathroom in the middle of running away from or fighting a tiger.
      Translate this into modern life.  If you find yourself stressed out and worried quite a bit of the time, you increase your risk of indigestion, constipation, gas and bloating as well as heart and circulation problems due to prolonged increased heart rate.  Oh yes. Also reduced sex drive.
     On a biochemical level, the same chemical molecules that make the adrenal hormone cortisol, which gets elevated under stress, are also needed to make estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, all needed for libido and reproductive function.
       Another problem with cortisol is that in excess it can cause damage to your mitochondria, the energy producing mechanisms in each of your cells.  Cortisol also damages your hippocampus, the part of your brain that helps with short term memory.  Ever walk into a room, only to forget what you went there for?  That's likely because your hippocampus has been impeded by the cortisol you produced when you were stressed out.

     Yikes!  SO if this is you, what can you do to fix things?
     Fortunately you can reverse the damage and repair your adrenal glands.  But if you keep getting stressed out, you'll be a lot like a hamster on a wheel .... working hard but never getting anywhere.

 2- Nourish your adrenals.  Did you know that 80% of the vitamin C used in your body is used by your adrenal glands? Excessive stress depletes your vitamin C stores and can lead to allergies, poor wound healing, easy bruising and increased susceptibility for colds, flu and other infectious disease?  Your adrenals also use lots of B vitamins, especially pantothenic acid and B6.  That's why a lot of B complex formulas are called Stress formulas.  Eating a whole foods, high raw, high green diet will ensure you have adequate intake of nutrients to maintain your adrenals when they are brought back to normal;  however, when you're in the mode of recovery, supplementation is often needed.
Dr. Rita offered 4 tips for adrenal restoration..  I am including 1 of the 4.  If you want the other 3, let me know and I'll either send them to you and/or put them in another newsletter issue.

  Pierre Noreau:   Do you recall Pierre Noreau, our November 2006 speaker, the brilliant herbalist, Lecher Antenna master, from Montreal?    Pierre developed a very good form of Vitamin C, one that he sells at his clinic.  He said taking Vitamin C -- and one other item, daily, keeps him in top condition.  Vitamin C helps him with his adrenals as he is under a lot of stress from his very busy practice.

[ I have been concerned by the preponderance of surgical gall bladder removals people have been permitting.]  I came across this note in our September 2006 issue, from Pierre:   "The #1 role for the Gall Bladder, contrary to popular belief  is to:  Assimilate Calcium!"  And then these precious nuggets:

Q:  What can we do to have our hair return to its original color?
Take Zinc, and Vit E 25 mg day. That will help the combination of  those 2 (recommended dosage for zinc)  to get your hair color back again.

Q:  What about the amount of  hair?
       It is a surplus of the production of ketosteroids which is produced by the adrenal glands, that causes hair to fall out.   You have over 125,000 glands on your head growing 1-3 hairs each.   The hair that you have on your head is protein.  Something is blocking the protein that the glands can take from the blood.  It is the ketosteroids.
        Start treating the adrenal glands.  Enemy #1 of the adrenals are sweets.   Take Vitamin C.  Eat at least one orange a day --- not orange juice --- an orange.  it will start straightening out your adrenal glands.
      You don't need more than 50 mg Vitamin E per day  maximum.  The lifetime in your system for Vitamin E is about 20 minutes.  then, an excess will start clogging the arteries and veins.  If you take more than that, instead of assimilating it, the body will get into a defensive state, and just reject it, so more is useless.

Q:. Hair loss, allopecia - from allergic reaction, also from hair-pulling  - causes, treatment, issues, energetic issues, etc.
        It is linked to the adrenal glands.   All hair loss is linked to the adrenal glands.

Q:   joint and muscle pain - causes, treatment, issues, energetic issues, etc.
    Collagen 2.   It is caused because the acid is too high.  For joint problems:
1/2 teaspoon raw honey
1/2 teaspoon grated and powdered cinnamon
2 ounces lukewarm water.
Drink before breakfast and bed time and the pain in the joints will go away.  This is esp. for joint pain.  Muscle pain is a lack of magnesium citrate.

MORE ON VITAMIN C:   Each cigarette smoked leaches out 100 mg Vit. C.   Fluorescent lights also leach out Vitamin C.  If you are getting run down, in addition to drinking water, try even just 100 mg of Vitamin C.  Notice how you feel.  You may need to do that every hour or two or three.

AND!  ONE  MORE   FROM   PIERRE!
       Do you recall that he said he carries around a little tin of Camphor oil (he also sells this at his clinic).  He keeps it in his shirt pocket.  When he is about to go into a public or crowded area he just puts a small dab of camphor in each nostril.  He never gets a "cold".

LO ! HO!  QiGong + Adrenals:  There are also 2 qigong moves that open and clear the kidneys / adrenals.   Putting hands on back where organs are, raise up on toes and come down, coordinating breathing.   Also, turning the torso side to side, without hip involvement and allow arms to swing along; when turn to right, right hand touches kidney area on back.

YET: Dowsing + Adrenals:  " ...  for those  of you who use a vibrational healing technique you may like to consider the  following …  I have dowsed that all cases of CFS are related to the malfunctioning of the adrenal glands.   As many of you will know, these glands control the balance of chemicals in the body and if they don't work  properly, this condition can lead to the possibility that the content of the blood will contain abnormal amounts of toxins that will then circulate around  the body, often lodging in muscles causing both fatigue and pain and other  problems.  If you have ‘clients' who suffer from this problem, you may therefore like to try to send  healing energy to the adrenal glands for the purpose of re-balancing them and, at the same time,  boost the immune  system that is obviously unable to cope with the abnormal level of toxins.  I am advised that, in general, no benefit from  this treatment will be felt by the ‘client' for at least 8 weeks, the actual time being dependent on the severity of the problem."

Speaking with David Price Francis this morning, he called as I was typing this segment and told him about some of the connections I'd been cogitating:
It is known that EMFs stress out the cells
This leads to stressed adrenals which means a greater need for Vitamin C
It is also known that fluorescent lights suck out Vitamin C.  AND...

News this summer has been full of what is considered to be ... a Pandemic ... of Bed Bugs ...  do you think ... maybe ... just maybe ... it could have something to do with the huge increase in:  WiFi, Cell Phone Antennas and similar devices?  Since they emit detrimental frequencies, i.e., frequencies that are incompatible with the health of most living beings.  I've been thinking about it these past couple weeks... Just thinking on it.  I shall try to do some of my own experiments, if I can figure out how to do it, other than / in addition to -- straight dowsing -- your feedback would be appreciated as well.

    Speaking of the Camphor Oil Pierre Noreau uses to prevent bacteria from infecting him, we found out about Thieves Oil.
    Thieves Oil is a wonderful combination of Essential oils that is very antibacterial.  Young Living Essential Oils makes a thieves oil in a straight essential oil combination, for toothpaste, hand soap, cleaning soap and as a main ingredient in other products.  They had an information night in Toronto recently and told the story of Thieves Oil:
        In the 15th century a band of thieves robbed graves.  To protect themselves from disease and plague, they put together an herbal formulation and rubbed it over their bodies so they would not get sick.  It was comprised of cinnamon, rosemary and other herbs.  The formula, very very potent was rediscovered, hence called Thieves Oil!
         During the Passover Story it is said that the Angel of Death passes over homes and slays the first born in the home, except for the homes of Jews where they made a mark of a lamb's blood on the door.  Mary Hardy told us that what that was about was using a mixture of essential oils around the door, probably similar to Thieves Oil, to keep away the plague.

        Its fascinating if you consider these uses, i.e.:  Camphor Oil, thieves Oil and the oils used in Egypt -- that keep bacteria away.  Sounds like our hospitals could use some good old fashioned herbal wisdom!   It would be a lot more natural, less expensive and strengthening if they used herbal and/or essential oil combinations instead of these antibiotics which only make things worse!

"Today is  Mary's birthday.  In her honor, please bless me with a glorious day and help me deal with anything that comes up in the best way possible.  And bless Mary with the same. THANK YOU!  AMEN!"

"Ancient Egyptian Power Postures, the Human Electro-Immune System and the Worlds of Energy"

David Price Francis shall offer perspicacity, wit and wisdom as a result of his accumulation from over 30 years of practical research, experience and teaching in, on, of and about:  The worlds of energy, The human energy field and The human electro-immune system when he speaks to us.  In this fascinating and informative presentation he will explain and demonstrate to us:

How to see and feel the human energy field (David has successfully demonstrated this with over a 90% success rate).

How the human energy field is the first level of the human immune system and response.

How to boost the electro-immune system with practices related to the four elements of earth, water, air and light and the vital power of the fifth element – the energy worlds of planet Earth.

This presentation will also include three tools for your dowsing toolbox that we will practice live together and which you can use in your own daily life and practice:

1. Specific power postures from the Ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools that boost your ability to both see and feel the energies of the human energy field and also the fields of plants and animals.

2. The use of individual power postures from the Ancient Egyptian Mystery Schools to promote internal energies and boost your electro-immune system.

3. The use of power postures between two people to build the internal energies in both and boost their electro-immune systems.

During this lecture David shall illustrate how the postures passed on to us from ancient times are once again becoming powered and alive, as the energies of the future start to re-activate the mysteries of the past.

David is a warm, knowledgeable and insightful very human being.   He has received an excellent education, traveled, experienced, thought, felt and synthesized and has created useful tools to help us help ourselves to improve our lives.

As I am talking with David, I can feel him listening.  You can feel him listening to you.  You can feel the listening, you can feel him pulling your words and meaning into himself so he can respond with the best possible answer.  Which he then does, based on his broad experience, knowledge base and a profound knowingness.   You can also feel kindness and humour as he is totally present with and focused on the person or group with whom he is interacting.   David can feel the energy of the evening and tailor his presentation to our needs, so we come away gnowing this has been a meaningful and a personally very useful evening.

You will enjoy the aliveness of his persona combined with the effective and practical teachings he will offer and feel good about having spent a superbly productive evening with your colleagues -- your friends and spiritual family.

David Price Francis is a transformational coach in the area of the dynamics of inter-personal relationships and self-development. He is a gifted and charismatic teacher helping to deepen and grok the meanings of spiritual growth, interpersonal relationships, esoteric history, planetary change and the unseen worlds of natural energy.  He explains universal energies and the laws that govern them, demonstrating how these powers and forces can transform our energy fields, lives and possibilities. David received his M.A. in English Literature at Oxford, travelled across North America visiting the Mayan Temples and began a lifelong interest in the esoteric knowledge of ancient civilizations.
