Luxury Chocolates - The Perfect Chocolate Gift

With Mothers day round the corner the perfect gift that would encompass all you long to say to the lady who gave you life is a box of luxury chocolates.

Chocolate has many beneficial factors both mental and physical. The physical element of chocolate in particular dark chocolate holds many a health benefit such as reducing cholesterol and heart disease, obviously in appropriate portions as too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Chocolate is said to be one of the main causes of obesity as per the addictive products held within them. Moderation is the key to all things in life!

The mental side of things is that producing a chocolate gift to any individual will always help make virtually any situation better, there is always a good time to hand somebody a box of chocolates whether it be to say "I'm sorry", "congratulations", "thank you", "well done", "good luck", even "deepest sympathy". Never underestimate the power of chocolate.

Anyway back to the topic of mother's day and why chocolates are the ultimate and perfect gift for the loveliest of ladies!!

The correct name for Mothers Day in the UK is Mothering Sunday.

Mother's Day was created as a day for each family to honour their mother, celebrated on various days in many places around the world. It complements Father's Day, the celebration honouring fathers.

It is a relatively modern concept, not to be confused with the 16th century celebration of Mothering Sunday which is also known as Mother's Day in the UK.

Most Sundays in the year churchgoers would worship at their nearest parish or "daughter church".

In Victorian times, it was a day when children, mainly daughters, who had gone to work as domestic servants were given a day off to visit their mother and family.

In olden times it was considered important for people to return to their home or "mother" church at least once a year. So each year in the middle of Lent, everyone would visit their "mother" church.

As the return to the "mother" church became an occasion for family reunions when children who were working away from home returned. (It was quite common in those days for children to leave home to work in service from ten years of age.)

The majority of historians think that it was this return to the "Mother" church which led to the tradition of children, particularly those working as domestic servants, or as apprentices, being given the day off to visit their mother and family.

This special day has now become a time when people give thanks to their mothers and offers an opportunity to express both love and thanks for the work that they do. This is a day when children give presents, flowers, and cards to their mothers.

And there is simply no other way to show your mum how much she is loved by presenting her with the perfect chocolate gift, a box of luxury chocolates!

The Extent of Chiropractic Care

It may be that chiropractic care has been synonymous to back and spine problems but if you are to dig deeper, you will know that it encompasses more than that. It is more extensive that it actually addresses other medical and health issues. The fact that chiropractors had a rigorous training to hone them the skills and understanding on how to manage various diseases should placate whatever fears you have. Chiropractic also has different specialties making a chiropractor to have more knowledge to treat specific patients like children and pregnant women.

Back pain. This ranks as the most common reason why patients seek the help of a chiropractor. Chiropractors treat approximately 65-70% of patients with back pain concerns.

Neck and head pain. Second in rank, neck and head pain are usually simultaneous where adjustments are done on the cervical spine.

Migraines. Spinal manipulation is performed for this illness. Unlike other doctors, there are no medications prescribed for migraine sufferers. Brought by subluxations in the neck and spine, manual manipulation is performed to help the patient achieve equilibrium in his neck and spine.

Blood pressure. Mild manipulation is given to patients suffering from high blood pressure. The slight pressure make the pressure of blood to rest and the outcome is more visible to older people.

Upset stomach. This requires manipulation of the back to reclaim a person's normal digestive tasks.

Colic among babies. Is it not a pity to hear a baby crying all night and all because of colic? Babies who received chiropractic treatment had a restful sleep, as their colic was eliminated.

Children's Bed Wetting. Most children were cured of their bed wetting problems. There are those who eliminated this issue after two treatments while others improved after a month. Nevertheless, it is suffice to say that kids were relieved of this problem, which is a truly embarrassing one.

Asthma. A result of physical limitation or neurological discrepancy, asthma can also be relieved by chiropractic treatment. The body's over-sensitivity is relieved by adjusting the spine.

One cannot deny the fact that chiropractic care is a big help. It does not compete, however, to other branches of medicine. A chiropractor will still refer a patient if the illness was found to be beyond his extent of expertise.

The number of patients seeking chiropractic care has tremendously increased for the past years. This is a good sign, as it only signifies that people have matured and have accepted this branch of alternative medicine, which is affordable and painless and yet assures a patient of being cured.

The Journey Towards Tensegrity

I have been practising physical therapies since 1969 when I became qualified in Swedish Remedial massage.

In 1974 after adding the skills of Osteopathy, I opened a
clinic and began my career in physical medicine.
During the next ten years, I attended many seminars on Osteopathic and Chiropractic techniques. Some research was proving that the standard thrust manipulative techniques of Osteopathy were not necessary. This approach fascinated me, as it was a less forceful approach but also seemed kinder to the body. These less forceful approaches utilised body positioning and the tensity of the tissue to facilitate the correction.

One of the most eminent researches studied and utilised Eastern methods of therapy and from their theories developed new physical techniques to match the criteria. Dr George Goodheart developed from Chinese Meridian Theory a series of muscle tests
that correlated with the diagnostic method of pulse diagnosis used in Acupuncture. Collected pages of Dr. G. Goodheart. Acupuncture and the knowledge of the meridian system are thousands of years old. Applied Kinesiology is one of the very
few systems that has added new information to the ancient knowledge. Walther, D.S.(preface) Applied Kinesiology.

These muscle tests soon became a reliable and empirical backdrop to understanding the links between Eastern and Western methodology. With muscle tests, he demonstrated the effectiveness of a technique and a reliable form of diagnosis and post checking. Even the Swedish massage that I initially practised was developed by a Swedish doctor Peter Ling from a Chinese backdrop. This sparked for me an interest in Eastern methods of therapy and lifestyle.

My other interest in the East had also begun in 1970 when I began studying Japanese Karate. After studying for fifteen years, I discovered many of the Japanese masters were also doctors of Japanese medicine. In 1985, I began my study of an ancient form of Japanese warrior principles. The Grandmaster of this school was a Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi and was the holder of ancient scrolls of nine schools of martial arts and a school of ancient medicine. His daytime occupation was a Seitai practitioner, which translates to a Japanese form of Osteopathy.

I initially met with Dr Hatsumi when he came to England for the first time in 1986 to demonstrate his martial principles. Although his martial skills were frighteningly effective, another quality shone from him. He was friendly, gentle and his body movement was graceful. He seemed to have plenty of time to evade attacks made on him during demonstrations and seemed to float as he walked through various techniques.
I watched in awe of a man twenty years my senior, working with ease and with fingertip precision to lock his opponents in tangled body configurations. To learn that this man practised as an Osteopath totally intrigued me and made me ponder as to his methodology. As he practised martially, he would say “Budo and Medicine are the same!” and if medicine was practised poorly, it could kill. He told us to study nature and learn from nature and that natural movement was all that was required to maintain health.

That day in 1986 changed me, I had found my mentor, a man who practised my hobby and my occupation and described them as being one. I changed from a hard physical disciplined Karate to a softer evasive body defence method. This also influenced my
decision to stop manipulating in the standard Osteopathic method and study Dr.Hatsumi’s naturalistic approach.
I utilised body positioning and gentle movement into my practise methodology.

Slowly I began to get the results from this body orientation approach. In 1995, I went to visit Dr. Hatsumi to ask for guidance and the opportunity to demonstrate these principles to him. He was impressed with my progress and told me he would teach me on “one to one basis”. He painted a calligraphy for me, which translated as mysterious hands. He said that this described what he saw as he watched me practise.

In a private session, Dr. Hatsumi worked on a friend of mine who had been a patient for several years. This person had suffered from Osteopetro’sis a brittle bone disorder from birth. He had suffered many bone breaks and traumas but in his twenties had fractured his femur badly in his left leg. After many hours in surgery, they had to abandon a traction correction, as they could not drill through the brittle bone. This left him after many months in plaster with a bowed left leg. This resulted in a misaligned pelvis and a scoliosis of the spine. He had a pronounced limp and had to walk with the aid of a stick. Despite these and many other difficulties after treatment from me, he even began martial training.

After several years of training, he visited Dr. Hatsumi with me. Dr. Hatsumi observed him walking, asked him to lie down and began to palpate his damaged leg. After a few moments, he decided on a spot and said “This Place”. He then pressed forcibly, quickly and deeply into the tissue of the leg. My friend’s pelvis and spine contorted and twisted as he pushed with his fingers into his leg. Then my friend stood up unaided and walked a few steps with a slight limp and more uprightly aligned. He had straightened up so much that his stick was now too short to reach the ground from where he held it. He could also step forward from both feet almost equally.

I had now seen evidence of what I could only describe as a miracle. Dr. Hatsumi then pressed my leg in a similar spot so I could feel the depth and effort of the pressure. He explained that this feeling and the body motion that generates it was the most important thing to study. All of my teacher’s lessons were delivered in this oxymoronic manner. He would demonstrate a technique, which stretched your imagination and then let you ponder on the questions that would lead you there.

On another occasion, he pressed into my cheek with his thumb for a moment and relived all my symptoms of fatigue and jet lag immediately. He explained that these effects on the body were possible because of a principle known as Gairon, which translators explained it as “The Big Picture”, private tutorials (1995) Dr. M. Hatsumi, the interconnectedness of all things, the feeling of nature.

Dennis Bartram – The Journey Towards Tensegrity

My research was to understand the relationship between the osteopathic lesion and the tissues that maintained the lesion.
Manipulation was based on either high velocity thrusts to a bone or forceful leverage principles. These techniques could be painful for the recipient and could also rupture the adjoining tissues. In 1995 I had the good fortune to observe first hand a Japanese master realign a pelvic and spinal distortion in moments without force or leverage. He actually applied pressure to the inner thigh with his thumb for about two to three seconds. On reexamination of the client all the physical factors of the problem had realigned.

He said that this approach was possible because of a principle known in Japanese as Gairon. “The relationship between the biosphere and Gaia is like that between your body and you. The biosphere is the three dimensional geographic region where living organisms exist. Gaia is the super organism composed of all life tightly coupled with the air, the oceans and the surface locks”. Lovelock. J, GAIA New Look at life on Earth, preface PX1. “The continuity or global interconnectedness of the living matrix is essential to the understanding of the body and the role of energetics in health and disease.” Oschman. J, Energy Medicine (p232)

The underpinning of my new research was based on the following principles. It had to be natural, it was a feeling that came from the heart and was delivered through the fingers, it was produced in the spine and delivered through our walk. Every time he taught a technique, he would explain these principles. “Its all in your walk, you must find it in nature, it must come from your heart and if you don’t understand Gairon, then you can’t continue”. The simplistic but mechanistic way in which he observed and then treated a condition was impressive but frustrating. My early attempts to mimic his technique were based on heavy pressure, which soon had
Dennis Bartram – The Journey Towards Tensegrity my clients complaining.

When I lightened up, I could not get the tissue to respond.
This frustration led me to study many approaches to pressing into tissue from Shiatsu, different kinds of massage, Rolfing and other physical modalities. Nothing had the
effect of Dr. Hatsumi’s touch on tissue.
“The spirit and feeling of a technique are more important than the mechanical ways to achieve it.” Hatsumi personal discussion, 1995. My main area of research in studying this man’s natural movement principles and medicine were bipedal locomotion and our vertical competence against gravity. The
main reason for this was that Dr. Hatsumi explained that human beings are the only creatures that need to be taught to move naturally. Dr M. Hatsumi (1995) “Thus the neurodevelopmental stages of crawling, creeping, crude walking and mature walking through which normal children develop, is directly related
to the amphibian, reptilian and mammalian evolutionary ancestors. Novella,MD (p1).

As we move naturally, we move energy around our body and integrate the left and right hemispheres of the brain. My own personal experience of overcoming dyslexia was through a programme of cross crawl repatterning designed by two doctors called Doman and Delacato. They discovered that babies that do not crawl evolve from an early programming of homo-lateral movement to walking and skip the cross crawl development.

This leads to a desynchronised brain pattern that can give rise to dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia.
Therefore, my search went further into walking patterns. The problem with research into bodily function is the reductionist approach, which disregards the overall co ordination or integration of the body. “The reductionist approach assumes it is virtually impossible to study phenomena at the level of the whole organism simply because it is too complex”. Oschman J., p48 (2000).Energy Medicine

Most of the data I could find on walking was the anatomical, Newtonian approach to movement. The whole idea of Hatsumi’s Gairon approach was to include everything and he explained it was everywhere in nature. The traditional Newtonian concept of causality excluded non-deterministic data, because the information did not fit into its paradigm. The accepted knowledge that muscles moved bones by contraction and that bones were the weight bearers of the body was not sufficient to demonstrate the co ordination of natural movement.

In nature there is concept known as ephemeralisation, which means minimum effort and maximum output. When this is applied to a Newtonian approach of body movement, it does not apply.
The earliest form of movement evolved by the division of somites to become flexor muscles in the spines of fish. They simply contracted and at the end phase of contraction the opposing set of flexors would contract. This produced movement in the fish with minimal use of the brain and body with maximum diversity of its power. This was the kind of movement potential that Dr Hatsumi demonstrated in his almost floating walking style. Dr. Oshman PHD., in the seventies began to study the effects of pressure on the tissues of the body.

He describes research into the level of the simple cellular matrix. “We now know that the cell is filled with filaments and tubes and fibres and trabecullae collectively called the cytoplasmic matrix or cytoskeleton”. Oshman, I. p45 (2000). This breakthrough in cellular makeup led to new information as to the evolvement and makeup of bodily tissues.
It also demonstrated the scientific basis for the interconnectedness and continuity of the parts of the living organism. This was a piece of the puzzle in my quest for Hatsumi’s Gairon principle. Tissues evolve according to the stresses imposed on them in their developmental stages.

This is the basis of Wolff’s law of trabecullae development in bones and tissue. The fish and its spinal movement described earlier were sufficient for the
compression forces of water to provide it with projectile movement with flexor muscles only on its spine.

Dennis Bartram – The Journey Towards Tensegrity
© mmv Dennis Bartram Page 7 of 10

For a fish like organism to leave the watery environment, its first new stress was gravity, a compressive force. Now two flexor muscles are not enough to move through three-dimensional gravitational space. Therefore, the next development was
to have antagonistic extensor muscles to work with the flexors. This also adds the extra dimension to bring in rotation and side bending qualities in the spine.

As creatures became more land capable, uprightness was a sought after quality. This caused the trabecullae formation in the cellular matrix to react. When collagen cells are close packed, they produce icosahedrons and the molecules of collagen when
stacked produce triple helix shapes. These threads of collagen weave into the fabric of tissue to develop lines of stress balancing strength against compressive or
compression forces. This ability at cell level is an inherent blueprint for organisms to balance against a stress and maintain its integrity. This tension balanced across
integrity became known as the concept of tensegrity.

This concept was first developed by a man called Kenneth Snelson, born in Pendleton, Oregon in 1927. He said, “My art is concerned with nature in its primary aspect, the patterns of physical forces in three dimensional space.” He developed a
three-way weave structure consisting of rigid compression, tubes pushing outward, held together by flexible tension cables pulling inward. These polyhedral units could be stacked in a way reminiscent of a beehive structure. Their antagonistic reciprocal tension and compression gives them powerful structural integrity omni directionally in three-dimensional space.

Robert Buckmister Fullers actually coined the term tensegrity and as a philosopher and engineer developed architectural design and developed a geodesic dome. Geodesics are based on the mathematics of special relationships. The dome is all or
part of a sphere, the shell of which is made of rigid struts forming equilateral triangles. The tensegrity across these structures creates and “everywhere the same energy”, symmetry. This was the Gairon, the interconnectedness I was searching for to explain the global effect of Dr. Hatsumi’s touch.

Dennis Bartram – The Journey Towards Tensegrity

In the 1970’s a Dr Stephen Levin maintained that in fact the body is a tensegrity structure. The soft tissues of the body provide tension and the bones and incompressible fluids in the body compartments providing compression. In this model the bones act as spacers and providing the divergent force needed to hold the space open. He describes the body as “A soft tissue entity, with local bony spacers, rather than a hard tissue entity with soft tissue motor units”. Live lecture 16th April (2005) The ligaments and soft tissues are “constructed with soft visceoelastic materials that behave non linearly” Journal of Mechanics in Medicine and Biology. Volume 2, 3, and 4, 375-388 World Scientific Publishing Co. This explained the body’s archaeological trabecullae footprint in the formation of our bones. If the spine is constructed in a pillar and beam Newtonian way, then the calculated forces needed for a grandfather to lift his three-year-old grandchild would crush the spine.

The laws of tensegrity allowed me to understand the principles of Dr. Hatsumi’s natural movement strategies and its power without strength. The next problem was to be able to control the tensegrity of the body from an external source of contact. Dr. Levin in describing the body as a tensegrous unit also
explained that the tensegrity breaks at the interface or periphery of the body. Injury to tissue affects the play of movement of a joint, the play is the non linear part of a curve which is measurable and reproducible.

My previous attempts at applying pressure did not produce the correction to the joints restriction. I began to work on the angle and depth of the contact hand, but it was body movement that fulfilled the criteria I was searching for. The natural movement principles of Dr Hatsumi are the opposite of Newtonian or biomechanical principles applied to the body. The fundamental difference is that in natural movement principles you move bones together with the minimal amount of expenditure of energy.

Dennis Bartram – The Journey Towards Tensegrity

By approximating bones with minimal muscle contraction the
body remains relaxed and your contact with the tensegrity interface melds as one unit. The recipient’s body tissue accepts your applied pressure through the interface
connection. This contact allows you to alter the pulls of the restriction to normalise joint play even at a distance from the contact point. With this protocol it is now possible to act on the body’s tissues to normalise musculo-skeletal injured sites with a reproducible and predictable pressure therapy approach.

This approach is endorsed by Dr. Stephen Levin and can now form the underpinning of our approach in Amatsu and become the base for further research. The human upright bipedal walk has in it the potential for a body- mind- spirit principle known as SHIN GI TAI ICHI. This translates as SHIN our spirit or affective domain, GI as the person in the kinaesthetic or psychomotor domain and the TAI the mind in the cognitive realm.
As we walk move and work in this behaviour, any performed task is in the NOW ICHI as one moment. This form of awareness and
movement is our heritage of nature’s evolvement of the psyche-soma of the upright bipedal human.

I utilise and explain the virtues of this kind of movement to the therapists I train. Firstly, it encompasses a high level of ergonomic safety for the practitioner and secondly becomes the generator of the tactile power and feeling for the psychomotor skill of the therapy. As my research develops, I hope to develop a programme of movement-orientated exercises to help dyslexic and dyspraxia conditions.

Do Not Take the Name of the Lord in Vain

Jesus said, "Do not take the name of the Lord in vain." This is a message addressed to humans- -not to souls. The 'Lord', here is a deceiver and a power player. In true spirit there is no Lord, for no one exerts suppressive power over another. Suppressive power and authority is only normal in a spiritual virtual reality- -A GAME ENVIRONMENT.

Lords establish themselves through brute actions of every fashion imaginable. Once they have garnered some power in whatever manner possible: through the voting process, through overwhelming power over ordinary men, through cunning, the setting of mental and financial snares, and any other way the criminal mind can get it accomplished.

Once Lordship has been established it is maintained through status differentials known as eminence, authority, organization, management, discipline and the like. Lordship is further enhanced through the traditions of men, by such routines as protocol, ceremony, worship, sacrifice, loyalty oaths, obedience, reward and the like. When any of such things manifest themselves in religion, government, club routines and the like, you know you are being fooled royally, by the only people that can be royal- -bottom-of-the-pit type crooks.

Other types of lordship are permanent, severe physical and mental handicaps, inconsolable sorrows and deprivations, and painful, incurable chronic diseases. They reigns through individuals and they are served by many others who try to help, console, restore health, nurse and give solace. These kinds of lords cannot be conquered, but the very brave learn to ignore the demands and presence of these brutes and go on with life as good as possible. Some escape them through suicide.

Getting back to Jesus' statement, "Do not use the name of the lord in vain" he meant, do not cross lords, in whatever ways they may be manifesting themselves- -powerful leaders and even god. They are like vipers that can never be trusted; so do not cross them, or their fangs will bare and strike immediately. In the universe every creature, without exception lives in fear and brutal subjection of one or more lords.

Jesus had a different reason for saying that than what religions have taken as the spiritual norm. He taught that to be free you must not be concerned with the world because you must choose between the world and spirit- -the world being the wrong choice. Obviously the physical environment is Lord and we are all caught in it until death do us part (presumably). You must appease this lord when your full spiritual attention is in the world, and do what you may it remains an untrustworthy Lord. Jesus is simply stating that Jehovah is Lord and to be free of him you must realize that he is a crook; you must ignore him like a severely disabled person can ignore his disability and go on with life as best he/she can.

Simultaneously, he taught that this Lord Jehovah is a liar and a murderer from the beginning and that the truth is not in him and can never be in him (The Bible, New Testament Gospel of John chapter 8). The book of Revelation warns us to get out of her, the whore of Babylon (forget the relevance of this physical universe). Revelation even reveals god's gender. This Lord, Jehovah, is feminine and a whore- -nothing is pure and true, everything and every thought souls and mankind have been fed is corrupted and betrayed and made of no spiritual effect whatsoever. Oh, there is an effect- -you continued bondage in the only hell there is- -physical reality.

In positive spirit there is no "Lord". The meaning of the word "lord" has the universal connotation of irresistible power but it is nonsense in true spirit. In true spirit the greatest is the least of all. As long as souls and their biological creature-projections need and recognize a 'Lord' they must remain shut out from true spirit. True spirit demands personal responsibility and courage- -not assigned or subjective responsibility and daring done in fear of a lord or overseer.

Religious understanding has it that Jesus meant that if you curse your god you will be punished in your human condition. However, your human condition is a spiritual fraud. It is just a belief system.

We must recognize that we, as creatures, are in and of the world and that Jehovah has repeatedly stated that he is the god of the world and will reward or punish his subjects with material blessings and with material curses--curses and blessings that affect the physical person. Jesus, however, also tells us "Do not be of the world." He teaches that you must overcome your belief in worldly and spiritual lies/concepts and you will be truly free indeed. To obtain the greatest treasure one must sell all we have and then buy the field in which that treasure is buried. The interpretation of this parable is that your human life, your greatest possession must be forfeited in mind and in awareness. It is of no value in comparison to this treasure, eternal spiritual life/awareness.

Jesus primarily addresses souls whom he lost to the serpent, Jehovah, through lies and betrayal. He came to redeem his truly lost sheep to spiritual true reality. Religion can only understand Jesus as a person who preaches in the name of Jehovah as his Messiah- -as man to man conversing in the language of virtual creatures in a virtual environment who recognize the false god (Jehovah) as the creator of the (virtual) physical environment and thus of "ALL THINGS".

In the creating and playing of any game (and existence in the universe is a game) one must establish a set of ground rules and other sets of rules relevant to any particular setting one finds oneself in. God, Jehovah, not only found participants for the game, but had to indoctrinate the participants into playing his game in complete earnest. This can only be done through a brainwashing scheme. Jehovah is the serpent. The serpent brainwashed spiritual entities, Adam and Woman. He started off in his scheme by telling them a lie about their real environment and Jehovah's further use of that lie led Adam and Woman to believe in a false (make-belief) reality he had devised- -the physical universe- -just as people in the previous colonies had to be indoctrinated to 'play' a new game wherein they must see themselves as citizens in the new republic, the 'United States of America'.

Once the precepts of the game have taken hold in the players' (Adam and Woman) minds the new rules of existence in the virtual reality overshadow and hide the scheme of awareness in the true or home reality in the minds of the deceived. The new rules thus become the new truth of the new relationship between the deceived and the reality presented in the new game scenario. Thus, a new concept of reality sprang forth in the minds of the deceived (from original/home-indoctrinated truth to the belief in a set of lies/propaganda-induced rules of being and physical awareness.

So, Jehovah (also known as Yahweh, Brahman, Great Spirit, etc.), the serpent, is the oracle whom we accept as the proclaimer of truth. This spiritual game seems so real that the homespun truth of paradise disappeared from the mind altogether- -we are talking of a new truth and thus of an entirely newly devised kind of mind; a mind that is drawn completely into the newly devised virtual concept of reality and which mind thus does not know its true god and its accompanying true reality.

I can only compare this kind of all-encompassing spiritual delusion with the state of coma a physical person adopts when a person is lying unconscious for months and even years. People in a coma have awareness but their awareness has no point in contact with the awareness of others in the physical reality. Its awareness has no use of the physical body and thus is not using it at all. All its awareness is anchored and centered in some dream scenario.

Reality can disappear instantly. The reality of the Nazi regime disappeared instantly when the allied forces defeated the German god/Lord, Hitler. The communist Soviet block nations experienced an even quicker reversal of virtual reality. In the late 1980 th the communist-indoctrinated people of the Soviet block nations had a complete reversal of rules forced on them again; one from sharing social resources with all to one of exploiting capitalist rules to get rich the quickest and fastest. We know that the pure communist rules of society are the fairest and the best, but avarice of the true criminals in society prevent any good system of reality from taking hold in societies of people. The super rich are thus our greatest adversaries because they need to have their reality enforced on the rest of us for their one-up position to endure.

For instance, I may be writing an article on my computer in the "Word" program and by accidentally hitting the wrong key-combination see the entire Word-environment and my article disappear instantly- -and it happens quite frequently. Germans and Russians experienced such a disappearance of their common reality just about as fast and with even more devastating effects. These people had to wake up from their propaganda enforced dream state and re-indoctrinated into the new scenario.

Physical birth and physical death are only events in a greater sphere of reality than we as physical creatures can be aware of. I can guarantee that upon your physical expiration you will disappear shortly into the negative spiritual awareness of deceived souls and from there, through homesickness for physical reality, choose to reincarnate. Until you can be convinced to give up the hype of physical reality and the hype of the spiritual propaganda attached to it you will do so over and again. This hype is stringently enforced on souls; so, as long as your soul remains totally immersed in the false belief system of universal reality you will reincarnate.

What I am teaching you is that our human lives are always lived in many nesting sets of virtual environments, each with rules that allow the environments to take shape in our awareness. You must agree with me that the awareness the identity of a good and successful Chinese communist, say 20 years ago, was different from the awareness of a good and successful US citizen 20 years ago. Presently, the Chinese people are having an upheaval in their understanding of traditional communism and begin to be aware of something somewhat closer to what US citizens experience as their reality.

Even so, Jesus is, and always was, our true god in paradise whom we in Adam and Woman rejected as the proclaimer of lies when we adopted a new set of ground rules for having awareness based on the deception we had accepted. Our awareness of the true god thus was hidden by a belief in a virtual reality. We must adopt exactly the same scenario when we actively play any game here on earth.

Football players only have awareness in the rules and reality of the football game until the game is over and they, once again, can focus their attention on their private lives. For football players the owner is god and the head coach is the head angel. For as long as we continue to adopt the awareness of a false reality we are shut out from experiencing our native reality, true spirit. The god of football players has power over the players- -there is no doubt about it! In a virtual reality the creation of gods is easy and necessary. It is the power, or Lord, that enforces the reality of football on the players as dictated by the owner and the association of football corporation owners. In a virtual reality many gods/lords can be created with almost absolute power in the isolated domains over which their power is exerted. In cases where the power becomes oppressive the players may create a union or religion to create a communal counter force to reason with or appease the gods/Lords/owners in order to prevent the reality of football to disintegrate altogether. The reality of the football game is a true virtual reality in the greater setting of the virtual setting of the physical universe just as a computer game is associated to its accompanying virtual reality based on the ground rules of the computer environment itself.

The United States of America is a virtual reality. Communist China is a virtual reality. In order to fit into these new realities one must be indoctrinated, forced into accepting a new type of rules of awareness in the new reality.

Immigrants into the US must live and work for five years in the US and must study the new ground rules and concepts of law in order to be accepted as new citizens of the United States of America. These are all necessary steps in participating actively in any virtual game reality. Virtual realities change all the time. If the public interest shifts altogether from supporting football to soccer football may not even be remembered by our great grand children. In this case the propaganda supporting and enforcing soccer will have overpowered the propaganda that supported the game of football. It is all based on propaganda and the subsequent enforcement of the dominant false belief system. Your physical life is based on clever negative spiritual propaganda; and you play it with gusto and as if your utter beingness depends on it. Physical reality and its associated awareness in the diverse groups of humans are based on warfare of conflicting propaganda/religious/political systems devised by competing Lords.

Paul referred to this propaganda war as 'spiritual warfare' in the New Testament in the Bible (Ephesians 6: 10 through 20). Can you see that the 'apostle' Paul here introduced a means and weaponry of spreading a new type of propaganda that would endorse and enforce Christendom according to Paul's understanding- -a propaganda that established Christendom securely in the mid-east and in Europe until a new propaganda system of the Muslim religion, violently spread and enforced in the 6th century, uprooted Christendom in the mid-east and certain parts of Europe. Most Muslims in these areas cannot even remember that Christianity ever reigned there. Presently, the Muslim religion again is making inroads in the western world- -not through war but through indoctrination. Neither of the religions means a thing as these are all played off in the spiritual, computer-generated, virtual environment called physical universe.

Remember that the indoctrinated players in the game of football, for instance, create the reality in football. Without entities willing to learn, preach and play the game there is no football game. So, similarly, souls are participants in the game of playing computer-generated creatures in an artificially created physical reality. We, as souls (and thus as humans) participate wholeheartedly and that is why we believe that physical reality is all there is for us humans. Humans are the active virtual entities in the game, but the true players are our deceived souls.

In any situation where one entity can have power over another deceit and evil are present and practiced at it highest level possible and enforced through indoctrination and enforcement on the submissive entities (these entities can be one, two, thousands and millions, depending on the all-pervasiveness and power of the gods/lords). This is true in horse racing, in politics, in religion and in spirit.

Truly, the only way to get followers or to gain power, money and status in any game scenario is to sell information, services and products that will stick the greatest number of souls' heads deeper in the muck of spiritual and human deceit.

Deceived spiritual souls masquerading as biological creatures in the universe can only accept as truth what souls already have been conditioned to know and understand­­ about the frame of reference they have accepted concerning the lie the spiritual deceiver (creatures' accepted god) has instilled in them. Anything outside that false spiritual frame of understanding (the plain spiritual truth) must be rejected because it would overthrow their understanding of, and participation in the virtual realm" completely. One must understand that in the spiritual game of universal awareness the virtual players, in this case biological creatures, are hermetically separated from the true players just as the virtual players in a computer soccer game are separated from the real players through the medium of the computer game environment. The physical players are aware of the computer entities but the computer entities are utterly oblivious of the players outside the computer environment that manipulate them. That is exactly why I know that biological creatures are mere virtual players in a spiritually played game of 'physical reality' played in some spiritual computer environment.

It is only through the experiences encountered in playing the game 'physical reality' a soul can begin to learn what Jesus intended for them to learn by entering into the game of physical universe as another player. He entered the game as a computer entity, but as one who had power in real spirit to control the computer environment to create the miraculous effects in the physical reality just as Jehovah is able to do so as related in the Old Testament and the ability he, as god and Lord, presently still has.

But being in a virtual reality is fiction; and such participation must always be based on beings existing in a higher level of reality. We, as humans, are the projections of souls caught in a deceitful negative realm of awareness in a higher level of reality: spirit. These souls themselves see themselves as beings in negative spirit which understanding again is based on false information. Do you begin to see the many levels of deceit we are all subject to as creatures lying in a coma in true spirit?

To seek the spiritual truth one must look at those things that according to your human frame of mind cannot possibly be true or rational. Remember, that all you know and understand and can accept as you go on living as humans and as souls, not only shuts spiritual truth out altogether, it prevents spiritual redemption as Jesus of Nazareth taught in his true, and socially and religiously completely rejected message. What Jesus as Christ taught were messages that he was forced to preach by Jehovah, Jesus' spiritual arch enemy- -messages from man to man. However he did also insert his true message in all the gobbledygook he uttered. Jesus' true spiritual message as Anti-Christ is considered nonsense or beyond human comprehension- -a mystery or magic. Humanity cannot have it. Yet, the spirit in Jesus is our true god and he is working hard to again bring you to awareness in true spirit. I got it; so, really, I am not truly human any more; and thus can you too!

My book does not sell well because it addresses Jesus' true message. The separation of the sheep and the goats is thus a separation of those who can have his true message and those who cannot have it. All I have written can help you to get the correct understanding; understanding that can penetrate through the hermetic computer-generated barrier; and thus can cause you, as soul to be redeemed into your true native reality. Presently, your soul is utterly ignorant as to what in hell happened to it when it believed a lie about its true reality.

Work toward spiritual redemption through fear and trembling! What you hold to be the truth, whatever that may be, is spiritually utterly false; yet its power over you is having you so scared you are utterly unwilling to make what you read here your new truth.

What Is Pediatric Physical Therapy?

Pediatric physical therapy is a healthcare profession that encompasses evaluation and treatment of infants, toddlers, children and adolescents. It's very important to discover and treat problems in children on time. Research proves that early intervention works well with many pediatric diagnoses including but not limited to ADHD/ADD, ataxia, autism, brachial plexus injuries like Erb's palsy, cerebral palsy, developmental coordination disorder, developmental delays, down syndrome, gait abnormalities, muscular dystrophy, neurological impairments, orthopedic conditions, plagiocephaly, premature birth, scoliosis, sensory processing disorder, torticollis, toe walking, and traumatic brain injuries.

Physical therapists' entry level degree has changed throughout the years. It started with the bachelor's, continued to the master's, and now its the doctorate in physical therapy. Now little patients are treated by highly professional people with the highest possible degree.

Did you know that not every pediatrician specializes in child development? Only 15% of pediatricians are such specialists. Also, it is easy to miss signs of developmental delays during routine visits. That is when pediatric physical therapists can help.

Physical therapy evaluation usually starts with observation of child's appearance, movements, activities, behaviors. It may then continue to neurological and orthopedic exam, and it continues to testing with peer-reviewed assessment tools like Peabody Developmental Motor Scales - 2 (PDMS-2). The scores are then carefully calculated and conclusions are drawn as to whether the child requires physical therapy intervention.

To treat children, therapists may utilize stretching, strengthening, thermal treatments, aquatic therapy, and joint mobilization. However, children do not usually even notice that they undergo "therapy". They are engaged in games and activities thus they have lots of fun while exercising and working on improvement of their health.

Another important part of pediatric physical therapy is family education with home exercise programs. Family plays a crucial role in fast recovery and progress in therapy. To insure carryover, exercises need to be practiced daily.

It is convenient to have pediatric physical therapist come to children's houses to provide care in the natural environment where the children spend most of their time. Home pediatric physical therapy companies are happy to help their little patients. If you or somebody you know have a child that may benefit from pediatric physical therapy, research and find a home pediatric physical therapy company providing services in your area.

Besides watching and taking care of children's physical health, pediatric physical therapists always screen kids for potential problems in other areas like speech pathology, occupational problems, as well as learning and behavioral delays. If necessary, they may refer their little patients to other specialists in child development. That is how every aspect of child development is covered, and children can grow happy and healthy.

Spacing - The Key to Better Health for You and Your Family

Today's urban woman is increasingly taking charge of her own destiny. She is competent in her workplace and runs her home with efficiency. The week goes by in a whirl of activity encompassing work- both inside and outside the home- entertainment, kids and the hundred and one things necessary to keep everything running smoothly. Homemakers, too have hectic schedules, balancing the needs of her husband, children, her own needs, as well as those of other household members such as elderly parents-in-law. Joint families create further demands on women's lives and schedules.

Despite this whirlwind of activity, one area that often gets neglected in all this frantic activity is a visit to a trusted gynecologist. A woman has to begin taking decisions with regard to her reproductive health right from the start of her marital life. She and her partner need to carefully consider their http://www.who.int/reproductive-health/publications/msm_98_3/msm_98_3_8.html"> desired family size. If several children are desired then adequate attention should be given to spacing methods that best fit her health needs and lifestyle. Once the family is complete, she and her husband should then consider adopting a method of contraception that is safe, effective and hassle free for years to come. Thus, it is important to have the right information on the myriad of contraceptive choices.

Increasingly various contraceptive options are available to couples during their reproductive years. Unfortunately, however, few couples are aware of their options and lack resources to gain such information. This is where the role of your gynecologist becomes crucial. He/she is the best person to consult for advice on thehttp://www.plannedparenthood.org/pp2/portal/medicalinfo/birthcontrol/pub-contraception-choices-2.xml"> various methods, whether they would suit your body and your lifestyle and the pros and cons of each method, in order to make a well-informed decision.
There are many facts regarding contraception that you need to keep in mind before making a choice:

* First, it is important to separate fact from myth! Your physician is a wealth of information concerning the most up-to-date developments in family planning.

* Delaying first pregnancy and adequate spacing (ideally 3-5 years) is essential for the physical and mental health, development and wellbeing of you and your child.

* Every person is different! Accordingly, every woman responds differently to every http://www.who.int/reproductive-health/family_planning/safety.html"> method of contraception.

* Ease of use, discretion and convenience all differ for each method; hence, it is essential to find a method most suitable to your body and your way of life. For example, not all methods are appropriate for breastfeeding, and all are effective for different lengths of time.

Health professionals are great resources for accurate, unbiased information. Nonetheless, couples should take charge of contraceptive decisions and therefore consult several sources of information, including the Internet. Finally, it is important for both partners to reach a consensus about this crucial decision that affects the health and wellbeing of the entire family.

The Five Domains of Kindergarten Readiness

Ready for school? The National Education Goals Panel defines school readiness through five domains or pillars: Physical and Motor Development, Social and Emotional Development, Approaches to Learning, Language Development, and Cognitive Development.

A Closer Look at the Five Domains of Kindergarten Readiness

Physical and Motor Development refer to a child's physical development, physical abilities, and living environment. Areas such as growth rate and physical fitness, fine and gross motor skills, and general health and care-giving environment all need to be considered when addressing readiness for school.

It should be noted that each child's growth in these areas is highly individualized and often occurs at uneven levels, making assessment challenging for schools, educators, and parents. Regardless, physical well-being and motor development are central factors to a young child's early learning experience.

Social and Emotional Development refer to a child's self-esteem and their behavior when interacting with peers and adults. Framed from early-age interactions with parents and caregivers, the ability to form and sustain social relationships with adults and friends is central to a child's preparedness for school.

Factors such as a child's ability to listen to other points of view, provide help and support for friends, and the desire to make new friends positively influence a child's social and emotional development.

Approaches to Learning refer to a child's range of attitudes, habits, and learning styles. These are strongly influenced by temperament, gender, and cultural background. While perhaps the least researched readiness domain, understanding a child's learning style and beginning teaching when a child is ready to learn can greatly influence social, emotional and cognitive interactions.

Learning styles vary widely and are influenced by a child's cognitive abilities, approach to the learning process, openness to and curiosity about new tasks and challenges, task persistence and attentiveness, and capacity for invention and imagination.

Language Development is the acquisition of linguistic forms and procedures and the social rules and customs for acts of expression and interpretation. Language ability is generally divided into two areas: verbal language and literacy.

Verbal language skills include listening, speaking, and vocabulary. Literacy refers to the whole act of extracting meaning from printed symbols, which occurs far before a child begins "reading." Literacy skills include literature awareness, print awareness, and the writing process. Literacy is a highly valued dimension of early childhood learning where many unprepared children have difficulty.

Cognitive Development refers to a child's knowledge of their physical world, as well as the objects and their relationships. Encompassed within cognitive development are skills including representational thought (the ability to think about things not currently present), problem-solving, mathematical knowledge, social knowledge, and imagination.

Cognitive development is far more than recognizing shapes, colors, and letters of the alphabet -- it is how children think and understand the world around them.

The Most Important Factors For School Readiness

According to recent data from the Santa Clara County Partnership For School Readiness, most kindergarten teachers spend an inordinate amount of time on the non-academic pillars during class time. Teachers stated that they could more easily develop academic skills (Cognitive Development and Language Development) if they didn't need to focus on areas like Social and Emotional Development.

Certainly, children need to be physically healthy to begin school, but making sure they're emotionally ready may be just as important as knowing their A, B, C's.

While each of the five kindergarten readiness domains need to be considered, a recent study by Northwestern University and the American Psychological Association finds that children who enter kindergarten with a mastery of elementary mathematics and reading skills are more likely to experience future academic success!

Don't stop practicing the math and phonics skills just yet!
