According to many books on the subject, countless scientific studies (which are consistently ignored by mainstream scientific and health publications), and the article referenced below, biophotons are the active "mechanism through which an intention produces its effects." What exactly is intention? The science of intention is that of all magical practices: prayer, meditation, spell-casting. I.e. the focused mental energy in particular states of consciousness. I know everything about spirituality and religion can sound like hogwash to people, but science has been proving for over 50 years that this stuff actually exists. Energy=mass x speed of light squared. Since we know matter cannot be created nor destroyed, so to with energy, including the electrochemical energy of the human body. So for all of us skeptics (self included), scientific evidence can certainly provide confidence in your magical endeavors. Blessed be!

Abstract:
Intention is defined as a directed thought to perform a determined action. Thoughts targeted to an end can affect inanimate objects and practically all living things from unicelular organisms to human beings. The emission of light particles (biophotons) seems to be the mechanism through which an intention produces its effects. All living organisms emit a constant current of photons as a mean to direct instantaneous nonlocal signals from one part of the body to another and to the outside world. Biophotons are stored in the intracelular DNA. When the organism is sick changes in biophotons emissions are produced.Direct intention manifests itself as an electric and magnetic energy producing an ordered flux of photons. Our intentions seem to operate as highly coherent frequencies capable of changing the molecular structure of matter. For the intention to be effective it is necessary to choose the appropriate time. In fact, living beings are mutually synchronized and to the earth and its constant changes of magnetic energy. It has been shown that the energy of thought can also alter the environment. Hypnosis, stigmata phenomena and the placebo effect can also be considered as types of intention, as instructions to the brain during a particular state of consciousness. Cases of spontaneous cures or of remote healing of extremely ill patients represent instances of an exceedingly great intention to control diseases menacing our lives. The intention to heal as well as the beliefs of the sick person on the efficacy of the healing influences promote his healing. In conclusion, studies on thought and consciousness are emerging as fundamental aspects and not as mere epiphenomena that are rapidly leading to a profound change in the paradigms of Biology and Medicine.

Leave Samsara, 21 September 2012
excerpt from Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe
"OUR UNCONSCIOUS BELIEFS
...another way of accessing the healing force within us is to bypass the thick armor of doubt and skepticism that exists in our conscious minds. Being tricked with a placebo is one way of accomplishing this. Hypnosis is another...a skilled hypnotherapist can reach into our psyche and help us change the most important type of belief of all, our unconscious beliefs.
Numerous studies have demonstrated irrefutably that under hypnosis a person can influence processes usually considered unconscious. For instance, like a multiple, deeply hypnotized persons can control allergic reactions, blood flow patterns, and nearsightedness. In addition, they can control heart rate, pain, body temperature, and even will away some kinds of birthmarks. Hypnosis can also be used to accomplish something that, in tis own way, is every bit as remarkable as suffering to injury after a foil has been stuck through one's abdomen.
That something involves a horribly disfiguring hereditary condition known as Brocq's disease. Victims of Brocq's disease develop a thick, horny covering over their skin that resembles the scales of a reptile. The skin can become so hardened and rigid that even the slightest movement will cause it to crack and bleed. Many of the so-called alligator-skinned people in circus sideshows were actually individuals with Brocq's disease, and because of the risk fo infection, victims of Brocq's disease used to have relatively short lifespans.
Brocq's disease was incurable until 1951 when a sixteen-year-old boy with an advanced case of the affliction was referred as a last resort to a hypnotherapist name A. A. Mason at the Queen Victoria Hospital in London. Mason discovered that the boy was a good hypnotic subject and could easily be put into a deep state of trance. While the boy was in trance, Mason told him that his Brocq's disease was healing and would soon be gone. Fie days later the scaly layer covering the boy's left arm fell off, revealing soft, healthy flesh beneath. By the end of ten days the arm was completely normal. Mason and the boy continued to work on different body areas until all of the scaly skin was gone. The boy remained symptom-free for at least five years, at which point Mason lost touch with him.
This is extraordinary because Brocq's disease is a genetic condition, and getting rid of it involved more than just controlling autonomic processes such as blood flow patterns and various cells of the immune system. It means tapping into the masterplan, our DNA programming itself. So, it would appear that when we access the right strata of our beliefs, our minds can override even our genetic makeup."
Now isn't that cool? With scientific evidence, a new dark age is ending. We are and have been learning for a long while that there's a lot more to the power of belief than thought possible before. It is my prediction and sincerest hope that people will come to understand this scientific proof and KNOW, rather than simply BELIEVE, that there is more to this life than we have been taught, that there exists proof for things we do not understand, and that, despite how it has been corrupted time and again by those hungry for power, esoteric and spiritual practices have real merit in our lives. It doesn't matter how you explain the "WHY" of these things, only that you know they are true. Leave Samsara. Namaste.

Is it possible to consciously create alternate personalities?
p.99-100 The Holographic Universe
"multiples also tend to heal faster than normal individuals. For example, there are several cases on record of third-degree burns healing with extraordinary rapidity. Most eerie of all, t least one researcher -Dr. Cornelia Wilbur, the therapist whose pioneering treatment of Sybil Dorsett was portrayed in the book Sybil - is convinced that multiples don't age as fast as other people.
How could such things be? At a recent symposium on the multiple personality syndrome, a multiple named Cassandra provided a possible answer. Cassandra attributes her own rapid healing ability both to the visualization techniques she practices and to something she calls parallel processing. As she explained, even when her alternate personalities are not in control of her body, they are still aware. This enables her to "think" on a multitude of different channels at once, to do things like work on several different term papers simultaneously, and even "sleep" while other personalities prepare her dinner and clean her house.
Hence, whereas normal people only do healing imagery exercises two or three times a day, Cassandra does them around the clock. She even has a subpersonality named Celese who possesses a thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and whose sole function is to spend twenty-four hours a day meditating and imaging the body's well-being. According to Cassandra, it is this full-time attention to her health that gives her an edge over normal people. Other multiples have made similar claims."
When casting a circle, calling the quarters/elements and goddess/god, as well as working with a ritual or magical name, is it possible that we Witches are practicing the conscious crafting of multiple personalities? Could we create spells, meditations, and/or talismans/tools/symbols to be used by alternate personalities designed for specific purposes to "run in the background" as we go about our days?
I've noticed that when I actively meditate more often I not only experience an increased overall sense of well-being, but I also find I have more restful sleep - so much so that I can wake after resting half as long as I normally do and yet feel fully refreshed.

Multiple Personality Disorder and The Holographic Universe
Thanks to the television series The United States of Tara, more people than possibly ever before are aware of Multiple Personality Disorder, or MPD.
p. 75 of Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe in the chapter The Holographic Model and Psychology states:
"...One of the most telling statistics regarding multiples is that 97 percent of them have had a history of severe childhood trauma, often in the form of monstrous psychological, physical, and sexual abuse. This has led many researchers to conclude that becoming a multiple is the psyche's way of coping with extraordinary and soul-crushing pain. By dividing up into one or more personalities the psyche is able to parcel out the pain, in a way, and have several personalities bear what would be too much for just one personality to withstand.
In this sense becoming a multiple may be the ultimate example of what Bohm means by fragmentation. It is interesting to note that when the psyche fragments itself, it does not become a collection of broken and jagged-edged shards, but a colleciton of smaller wholes, complete and self-sustaining with their own traits, motives, and desires. Although these wholes are not identical copies of the original personality, they are related to the dynamics of the original personality, and this in itself suggests that some kind of holographic process is involved.
Bohm's assertion that fragmentation always eventually proves destructive is also apparent in the syndrome. Although becoming a multiple allows a person to survive an otherwise unendurable childhood, it brings with it a host of unpleasant side effects. These may include depression, anxiety and panic attacks, phobias, heart and respiratory problems, unexplained nausea, migrainelike headaches, tendencies toward self-mutilation, and many other mental and physical disorders. Startlingly, but regular as clockwork, most multiples are diagnosed when they are between the ages of twenty-eight and thirty-five, a "coincidence" that suggests that some inner alarm system may be going off at that age, warning them that it is imperative they are diagnosed and thus obtain the help they need. This idea seems borne out by the fact that multiples who reach their forties before they are diagnosed frequently report having the sense that if they did not seek help soon, any chance of recovery would be lost..."
Now I'm sure you are wondering what MPD has to do with holograms. The holographic model referenced here is a model of the nature of reality, experience, and the universe itself. It's a very interesting book that has loads of scientific evidence to back up its claims. As always, take everything with a grain of salt, check the credentials, and remain open to the information changing your entire understanding of reality. After all, people once scoffed at the idea of a spherical earth.
p. 76
"Another unusual feature of MPD is that each of a multiple's personalities possessses a different brain-wave pattern. This is surprising, for as Frank Putnam, a National Institutes of Health psychiatrist who has studied this phenomenon, points out, normally a person's brain-wave pattern does not change even in states of extreme emotion. Brain-wave patterns are not the only thing that varies from personality to personality. Blood flow patterns, muscle tone, heart rate, posture, and even allergies can all change as a multiple shifts rom one self to the next.
Since brain-wave patterns are not confined to any single neuron or group of neurons, but are a global property of the brain, this too suggests taht some kind of holographic process may be at work. Just as a multiple-image hologram can store and project dozens of whole scenes, perhaps the brain hologram can store and call forth a similar multitude of whole personalities. In other words, perhaps what we call "self" is also a hologram, and when the brain of a multiple clicks from one holographic self to the next, these slide-projectorlike shuttlings are reflected in the global changes that take place in brain-wave activity as well as in the body in general. The physiological changes that occur as a multiple shifts from one personality to the next also have profound implications for the relationship between mind and health, and will be discussed at greater length in the next chapter."
Now if we look at teachings of "mystery schools" with this scientific information, some conclusions may be proposed. Not least of all, in my humble opinion, is that the idea of separation within the personal human experience is a mirror of the idea of separation between people, and the destructive and painful effects are also mirrored on a grander level when ideas such as fear are practiced.
To redo a classic quote:
"You laugh because you perceive me as different; I smile because we are one."
Namaste.

Lime: 19 September 2012
http://www.greenmedinfo.com/
Lime has potent antibacterial activity against multiple drug-resistance e-coli.
BACKGROUND: Spices traditionally have been used as coloring agents, flavoring agents, preservatives, food additives and medicine in Bangladesh. The present work aimed to find out the antimicrobial activity of natural spices on multi-drug resistant Escherichia coli isolates.
METHODS: Anti-bacterial potentials of six crude plant extracts (Allium sativum, Zingiber officinale, Allium cepa, Coriandrum sativum, Piper nigrum and Citrus aurantifolia) were tested against five Escherichia coli isolated from potable water sources at kushtia, Bangladesh.
RESULTS: All the bacterial isolates were susceptible to undiluted lime-juice. None of them were found to be susceptible against the aqueous extracts of garlic, onion, coriander, pepper and ginger alone. However, all the isolates were susceptible when subjected to 1:1:1 aqueous extract of lime, garlic and ginger. The highest inhibition zone was observed with lime (11 mm).
CONCLUSION: Natural spices might have anti-bacterial activity against enteric pathogens and could be used for prevention of diarrheal diseases. Further evaluation is necessary.

In my opinion, the ability of a monetary society to continue is dependent upon a balance in which all people respect and appreciate one another; we are fully capable of existing in a world where there is no need and no war, a world where love, respect, diversity, and integrity are the law of the land.
We have all had parts to play in this understanding; none are villains: all are one. To hate or fear another is to hate or fear your self. The issue does not matter; only the resolution.
Namaste.

Black Tea, 18 September 2012
http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/black-and-green-tea-contain-compounds-which-inhibit-hiv-1-entry
http://www.greenmedinfo.com/article/black-tea-inhibits-influenza-virus
Remember when some elderly family member gave you black tea as a child and later people told you that it was simply a soothing sensation of drinking something warm while sick? Scientists have evidenced that components in black tea inhibit the influenza virus. Next time you're thinking of grabbing coffee, reach for the tea instead. Drink it black or with a natural, unbleached sweetener. Sorry Brits, but milk can inhibit the beneficial medicinal properties of the beverage, but there are literally thousands of types of tea with varying tastes. Don't snub your nose because you didn't care for the cheat shit like Lipton and Twinnings (not that those won't have the same beneficial effects, but what you're paying for with the better stuff is taste). Black teas range from roasted cocoa notes to smoky to floral to citrus blends, just to name a few suggestions. In fact, double up your health benefits if you like the classic Earl Grey (a black tea with bergamot*) because according to another article, citrus peel and black tea intake may reduce the risk of skin cancers as well:
