Full transcript below , which you can also download HERE : Hey everybody , it 's Robert F Kennedy Jr. here .
And I can not tell you how happy I am to be able to have this opportunity to talk to thousands of citizens in 15 countries on all the continents in the world , who have come together today to protest this coup d'etat by Big Data , by big Telecom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ big oil and chemical companies , and by this global Public Health cartel led by Bill Gates and the W.H.O .
that now amounts to two trillion dollars .
And wants to magnify and amplify its wealth and its power over our lives , over our liberties , that wants to subvert our democracies , that want to destroy our sovereignty and our control over our lives and our children 's health .
And I want to remind you , those of you who are not Americans , of something that every American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in this country about our history .
During the Great Depression , Franklin Roosevelt , who was one of the greatest presidents in American history , said to the American people the only thing that we have to fear is fear itself .
And we grow up hearing that , but people do n't really understand what it means .
But it was a very , very profound warning by Roosevelt because he saw what the Great Depression was doing in Eastern Europe , in Italy , in Germany , and Spain where @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And the Eastern countries where the same crisis was turning citizens and governments towards communism , and also causing the collapse of governments all over the world .
And in our country , in the United States , it 's hard for people to remember today , then that almost a third of the people in our country were completely disillusioned with capitalism and wanted to turn to Communism .
And another third wanted to turn to Fascism .
And Franklin Roosevelt wanted to preserve our country for democracy , for free @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to preserve our Constitution .
And he recognized that the weapon of authoritarian control was going to be fear .
And when I spoke a few weeks ago in Berlin , I reminded the people of Germany of a very famous story that happened during the Nuremberg trials after World War II when Hitler 's closest Lieutenant , the head of the Luftwaffe , Hermann Goering was asked by one of the prosecutors : How did you get the German people ( the German people were the most educated people in the world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tolerant people in the world , the Weimar Republic was one of the strongest democracies in the world ) – how did you take these people who were so well educated and so awakened and so tolerant and turn them into obedient slaves who committed some of the worst atrocities in human history .
And Goering said , oh that 's a simple thing .
And any of you can look up his quote and I urge you to do so .
And he said in a works not just for a fascist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ democracy in a monarchy in a communist government , and any government that you want : the job of the government is to put the people in fear and if you can keep them in fear , you can get them to do anything that you want them to do – that they will turn into sheep .
And there 's a famous book by Naomi Klein that all of us should read called “ Disaster Capitalism.
” And that book shows – it 's a historical chronology of all of the times @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history of the world , during the Great Depression , and during the financial collapse in 2008 , during the financial collapse in Chile for example in 1973 , during the time of the World Trade Center bombing – that authoritarian elements in a society , and large corporations , and wealthy plutocrats and oligarchs , wealthy families and individuals , use crises to shift wealth upward , to obliterate the middle classes of those countries , and to clamp down totalitarian controls .
And of course , it 's an obvious thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for their governments are not going to vote for policies that make the rich people richer , that give corporations even more power over their lives , that reduce democracy and reduce civil rights .
These are not good vessels for populism .
In order to transform the government so that it will reward the rich with even more wealth .
The people who want to do that are large corporations who want to orchestrate that kind of change – have to get rid of civil rights .
And the first civil right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They need to clamp down censorship because censorship is the most important right .
In our country , we put it number one , the First Amendment of the Constitution , because all the other rights depend on it .
If a government can hide what it 's doing , it can get away with anything it wants .
If a corporation can a lie to you and conceal information , if there 's no transparency in a democracy , you do not have a democracy .
So if you want to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like freedom of assembly , which you are exercising today , some of you are exercising at great threats .
Some of you will suffer .
Some of you will be jailed .
Some of you will suffer injuries .
But that is a basic right : the right to freedom of expression , the right to jury trial , the right to freedom of religion , the right to privacy , the right to have governments that do n't spy on you and keep your information .
All of those other rights @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imposing censorship , by being able to silence people who want to speak .
The coup d'etat that we are all fighting today is a coup d'etat that starts with a conspiracy between the government agencies and the big technology companies , the Silicon Valley billionaires – people like Zuckerberg and Bill Gates – and the people who run Google and Facebook and Pinterest and all of these other Silicon Valley corporations who are now in this conspiracy to make sure that we can not talk about our grievances .
We can not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We can not question government policies that make no sense to us .
And I 'm going to say a few things about some of those government policies .
Number one .
I am not a conspiracy theorist .
I follow the facts .
I do n't know that the COViD illness was laboratory generated in Wuhan .
There is plenty of evidence that it was , but not enough evidence for me to say that it 's a fact .
My question is why do n't we know the answer to that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ asked that question ?
Why is President Trump not launching an investigation ?
Or president Xi Jinping or the presidents of any of these countries ?
Saying , “ Where did this come from ?
” Because we need to know that , the Global Citizens .
This is the worst calamity in history .
And nobody seems curious about where this actually comes from .
We know it did n't come from a bat in the wet Market iin Wuhan .
That story was a fable that has no basis in fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and we have large institutions , and investigative agencies , and prosecutorial agencies are saying , “ We think it came from the Wuhan lab .
And we think that it may have come from studies that were funded by Bill Gates and Tony Fauci.
” I do n't know if this is true .
But why are our government officials not asking that as the number one question ?
Why instead of sending the police to suppress dissent are they not sending the police to question people who may know the answer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ other questions that I 'd like to know the answer .
Questions about masks .
I 'm very willing to accept if the masks work .
And I want to wear them if they 're going to protect other people from transmissibility , then I want to wear them .
But the studies that I 've seen indicate that they do not work against viral transmission for the most part .
There are some that say they may work under limited circumstances .
What I do n't want to be told is : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to wear them , and you better not ask questions about it .
Most Americans and most of the people on this planet – we want leadership , but we do n't want bullying .
And we know the difference between bullying and leadership .
We want to know the truth about hydroxychloroquine .
We want to know why are we spending $ 18 billion dollars on vaccines and $ 1.4 billion on therapeutic drugs .
What is the sense of that ?
There are many many other questions that we in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ without being called conspiracy theorists , without being vilified as being “ inconsiderate ” or being “ bad citizens.
” Everybody who 's part of these demonstrations are people who are striving with their lives to become good citizens .
Now , let me tell you what we need to do to win this battle .
The only way we can win it is with democracy .
We need to fight the get our democracy back , to reclaim our democracy from these villains who are stealing it from us .
And you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from this quarantine are the same people who are censoring criticism of the quarantine .
Who 's becoming the richest ?
Jeffrey Bezos .
$ 83 billion dollars he 's made .
He owns Amazon , and he is censoring books that criticize the quarantine .
Zuckerberg , who owns Facebook , who 's made tens of billions of dollars by this quarantine and he is censoring information that is critical of the quarantine .
He censors my Instagram .
He censors my Facebook .
My Twitter page is also censored .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who are making billions of dollars on the quarantine .
And what I want to know is a simple question : Is the quarantine actually effective ?
You know , we 've had plenty of pandemics in the past.n 1969 , we had a Hong Kong Flu pandemic that killed a hundred thousand people in the United States .
It 's the equivalent of two hundred thousand people today .
That 's the same number of people who have been killed by coronavirus .
Did we go into lockdown ?
No !
Did @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We went to Woodstock .
We went to the Democratic Convention in Chicago and had huge crowds of people .
Nobody was told to lock down , and do n't see your girlfriend , and wear a mask .
And do n't go out of your house and shut down your business and bankrupt every business in the country .
Last year there were 1.6 million people in the world who died from tuberculosis .
We have 1.6 million people die every year from tuberculosis .
We 're not wearing masks .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the difference between tuberculosis and coronavirus ?
Tuberculosis has a vaccine and the vaccine cost about $ 3 .
And that 's why we 're not on lockdown , because nobody is making $ 39 a vaccine or $ 300 a vaccine the way that Moderna and AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson are making from this catastrophe .
And that is the only reason that I can think of .
And I 'm happy if somebody tells me there 's another reason , but let 's hear it .
Do n't just shut @ @ @ @ @ @ @ me that I ca n't debate .
Here 's what we need to do we need to do exactly what you 're doing today .
We need to come out on the street and we need to stick together .
What the Big Tech villains and scoundrels and Mark Zuckerberg and Jeffrey Bezos and Bill Gates and Tony Fauci want you to do is they want us fighting with each other .
They want blacks fighting against whites .
They want Republicans fighting against Democrats .
They want everybody polarized .
They want @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if we all get together , we 're going to start asking questions .
And those are questions that they ca n't answer .
Why are you getting rich and why are we all getting poor ?
And what 's the difference between tuberculosis and coronavirus .
And why are we not wearing masks with tuberculosis , but we are for the coronavirus .
And where did it all come from ?
And all of those questions that we deserve an answer to and we 're not getting answers .
We need to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Republican or Democrat , stop talking about that .
Stop identifying yourself .
The enemy is Big Tech , Big Data , Big Oil , Big Pharma , the medical cartel , the government totalitarian elements that are trying to oppress us , that are trying to rob us of our liberties , of our democracy , of our freedom of thought , of our freedom of expression , of our freedom of assembly , and all of the freedoms that give dignity to humanity .
So if you see something that is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it because we want to put it up .
We are going to be the enemies of censorship .
We are going to be the refuge .
And we 're going to allow debate .
We 're gon na make sure it 's civil debate .
We 're going to encourage people to be nonpartisan .
We 're going to allow people to comment and have different opinions than us .
We are not scared of debate the way pharmaceutical companies and Bill Gates , and Mark Zuckerberg , and Jeffrey Bezos , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We welcome debate .
We want to hear if you 've got a different opinion than me .
I want to hear about it .
And I want to see your science .
And I want the public to hear us talking about it and debating about it , because the free flow of information , the cauldron of debate is the only thing that allows governments to develop rational policies in which self-governance will actually work and triumph .
You are on the front line of most important battle in history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ save democracy and freedom and human liberty and human dignity from this totalitarian cartel that is trying to rob us simultaneously , in every nation in the world , of the rights that every human being is born with .
Thank you for your courage .
Thank you for your commitment .
And thank you for your brotherhood .
And I can pledge to you that I will go down dying with my boots on fighting side by side with all of you to make sure that we return these rights and preserve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will see all of you on the barricades .
Thank you .

And Goering said, oh that's a simple thing. And any of you can look up his quote and I urge you to do so. And he said it works not just for a fascist government, but it works in a democracy in a monarchy in a communist government, and any government that you want: the job of the government is to put the people in fear and if you can keep them in fear, you can get them to do anything that you want them to do – that they will turn into sheep.

All of those other rights can only be subverted if they begin imposing censorship, by being able to silence people who want to speak.
The coup d'etat that we are all fighting today is a coup d'etat that starts with a conspiracy between the government agencies and the big technology companies, the Silicon Valley billionaires – people like Zuckerberg and Bill Gates – and the people who run Google and Facebook and Pinterest and all of these other Silicon Valley corporations who are now in this conspiracy to make sure that we cannot talk about our grievances.
We cannot say bad things about pharmaceutical products. We cannot question government policies that make no sense to us. And I'm going to say a few things about some of those government policies.

Now, let me tell you what we need to do to win this battle. The only way we can win it is with democracy. We need to fight the get our democracy back, to reclaim our democracy from these villains who are stealing it from us.

And the last thing that all of us need to do is we need to stay educated and informed. One of the things that I want to announce to you today is that Children's Health Defense, my organization, with the help of many of you who are in these crowds is launching a journal, a Daily Journal, and we are going to weaponize information for you. We're going to tell you what the newest science is. We're going to take all the information that is censored everywhere else, and we're going to reprint it in our publication. And you can get that every day.
So if you see something that is censored, we want to hear about it because we want to put it up. We are going to be the enemies of censorship. We are going to be the refuge. And we're going to allow debate. We're gonna make sure it's civil debate. We're going to encourage people to be nonpartisan.

And it is the battle to save democracy and freedom and human liberty and human dignity from this totalitarian cartel that is trying to rob us simultaneously, in every nation in the world, of the rights that every human being is born with.
Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your commitment. And thank you for your brotherhood. And I can pledge to you that I will go down dying with my boots on fighting side by side with all of you to make sure that we return these rights and preserve them for our children. And I will see all of you on the barricades. Thank you.


consciouslifenews--2020-10-29--For Vampire Bats Social Distancing While Sick Comes Naturally

New research shows that when vampire bats feel sick , they socially distance themselves from groupmates in their roost — no public health guidance required .
The researchers gave wild vampire bats a substance that activated their immune system and made them feel sick for several hours , and then returned the bats to their roost .
A control group of bats received a placebo .
Data on the behavior of these bats was transmitted to scientists by custom-made “ backpack ” computers that were glued to the animals ' backs , recording the vampire bats ' social encounters .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ home , sick bats interacted with fewer bats , spent less time near others and were overall less interactive with individuals that were well-connected with others in the roost .
Healthy bats were also less likely to associate with a sick bat , the data showed .
“ Social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic , when we feel fine , does n't feel particularly normal .
But when we 're sick , it 's common to withdraw a bit and stay in bed longer because we 're exhausted .
And that means we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” said Simon Ripperger , co-lead author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher in evolution , ecology and organismal biology at The Ohio State University .
“ That 's the same thing we were observing in this study : In the wild , vampire bats — which are highly social animals — keep their distance when they 're sick or living with sick groupmates .
And it can be expected that they reduce the spread of disease as a result.
” The study was published today ( Oct. 27 , 2020 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the lab of co-lead author Gerald Carter , assistant professor of evolution , ecology and organismal biology at Ohio State .
The two scientists and their co-author on this paper , University of Texas at Austin graduate student Sebastian Stockmaier , are also affiliated with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama .
Carter and Ripperger have partnered on numerous studies of social behavior in vampire bats .
Among their previous findings : Vampire bats make friends through a gradual buildup of trust , and vampire bat moms maintained social connections to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
For this work , the researchers captured 31 female common vampire bats living inside a hollow tree in Lamanai , Belize .
They injected 16 bats with the molecule that induced the immune challenge — but did not cause disease — and 15 with saline , a placebo .
After returning the bats to their roost , the scientists analyzed social behaviors in the colony over three days , including a “ treatment period ” from three to nine hours after the injections during which the researchers attributed behavior changes to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ We focused on three measures of the sick bats ' behaviors : how many other bats they encountered , how much total time they spent with others , and how well-connected they were to the whole social network , ” Carter said .
On average , compared to control bats , the sick bats associated with four fewer groupmates over the six-hour treatment period and spent 25 fewer minutes interacting per partner , and the time any two bats spent near each other was shortest if the encounter involved at least one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the sick vampire bats encountered fewer groupmates is simply because they were lethargic and moved around less , ” Carter said .
“ In captivity , we saw that sick bats also groom others less and make fewer contact calls .
These simple changes in behavior can create social distance even without any cooperation or avoidance by healthy bats .
We had previously studied this in the lab .
Our goal here was to measure the outcomes of these sickness behaviors in a natural setting .
“ The effects we showed here are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But it is important to remember that changes in behavior also depend on the pathogen .
We did not use a real virus or bacteria , because we wanted to isolate the effect of sickness behavior .
Some real diseases might make interactions more likely , not less , or they might lead to sick bats being avoided.
” Although the study did not document the spread of an actual disease , combining the social encounter data with known links between exposure time and pathogen transmission allows researchers to predict how sickness behavior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a social network .
Clearly identifying each bat 's behavior in the colony 's social network was possible only because the proximity sensors — miniaturized computers that weigh less than a penny and fall off within a week or two — took measures every few seconds of associations involving sick or healthy bats or a combination of the two .
Visualizations of the proximity sensors ' recordings showed growth in the number of connections made in the colony 's social network from the treatment period to 48 hours later .
“ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ window into how the social behavior of these bats changed from hour to hour and even minute to minute during the course of the day and night , even while they are hidden in the darkness of a hollow tree , ” said Ripperger , who is also a visiting scientist at the Museum of National History in Berlin , Germany .
This work was supported by the German Research Foundation and a National Geographic Society Research Grant .

For this work, the researchers captured 31 female common vampire bats living inside a hollow tree in Lamanai, Belize. They injected 16 bats with the molecule that induced the immune challenge — but did not cause disease — and 15 with saline, a placebo.
After returning the bats to their roost, the scientists analyzed social behaviors in the colony over three days, including a “treatment period” from three to nine hours after the injections during which the researchers attributed behavior changes to the effects of treated bats feeling sick.
“We focused on three measures of the sick bats' behaviors: how many other bats they encountered, how much total time they spent with others, and how well-connected they were to the whole social network,” Carter said.
On average, compared to control bats, the sick bats associated with four fewer groupmates over the six-hour treatment period and spent 25 fewer minutes interacting per partner, and the time any two bats spent near each other was shortest if the encounter involved at least one sick bat.
“One reason that the sick vampire bats encountered fewer groupmates is simply because they were lethargic and moved around less,” Carter said. “In captivity, we saw that sick bats also groom others less and make fewer contact calls. These simple changes in behavior can create social distance even without any cooperation or avoidance by healthy bats. We had previously studied this in the lab. Our goal here was to measure the outcomes of these sickness behaviors in a natural setting.
“The effects we showed here are probably common in many other animals. But it is important to remember that changes in behavior also depend on the pathogen. We did not use a real virus or bacteria, because we wanted to isolate the effect of sickness behavior. Some real diseases might make interactions more likely, not less, or they might lead to sick bats being avoided.”
Although the study did not document the spread of an actual disease, combining the social encounter data with known links between exposure time and pathogen transmission allows researchers to predict how sickness behavior can influence the spread of a pathogen in a social network.
Clearly identifying each bat's behavior in the colony's social network was possible only because the proximity sensors — miniaturized computers that weigh less than a penny and fall off within a week or two — took measures every few seconds of associations involving sick or healthy bats or a combination of the two. Visualizations of the proximity sensors' recordings showed growth in the number of connections made in the colony's social network from the treatment period to 48 hours later.
“The proximity sensors gave us an amazing new window into how the social behavior of these bats changed from hour to hour and even minute to minute during the course of the day and night, even while they are hidden in the darkness of a hollow tree,” said Ripperger, who is also a visiting scientist at the Museum of National History in Berlin, Germany.
This work was supported by the German Research Foundation and a National Geographic Society Research Grant.

Signs and Omens Are a Magical Doorway to the Present Moment Over the last few years , I have been finding new ways to deeply connect to the world around me .
One of these ways is by paying close attention to the signs and omens I encounter throughout @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spiritual signs and omens not only provides me with guidance , but it is also an effective method of grounding my awareness in the present moment .
When seen through clear eyes that are rooted in the present moment , I realize that life sends us so many signs , messages , and omens every day .
It ’ s just that many of us don ’ t have the eyes to see it .
We get so lost in our chaotic and blurry thoughts of the past and future that we forget @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the present .
Keeping this in mind , I try to start every day with a grounded and aware presence and receptivity to life .
And I often discover something amazing on my morning walks : Life or Spirit is directly communicating with me ( as one being ultimately inseparable from It ) .
My unconscious needs or questions are frequently met with spiritual signs and omens of various natures .
Recently I ’ ve been seeing three birds constantly cross my path : the wagtail , white ibis , and duck .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ understand that the wagtail represents playfulness and joy , the white ibis represents opportunity , and the duck represents nurturing .
To me the message from Life is very clear , “ Every day is an opportunity to experience joy and self-love , no matter what happens .
“ On a similar note , just as seeing signs and omens are powerful ways of reconnecting with the present moment , they also commonly signify that you ’ re going through a deep spiritual shift .
Some call this an expansion in consciousness , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Soul , but in essence , a spiritual awakening is what happens when we “ wake up.
” In other words , we start questioning the decisions we ’ ve made , the paths we ’ ve chosen , and even the beliefs/values we ’ ve automatically adopted or inherited from others .
The proverbial “ veil ” of unconsciousness and living on autopilot ends – and a new era begins .
So where do spiritual signs and omens come into the picture ?
The uncanny , strange , serendipitous , and ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ experience are all ways of deepening your awakening and keeping you alert .
It ’ s like a nudge from the Divine who is trying to get your attention .
Many times , these signs and omens are messages in disguise – your Soul , after all , doesn ’ t speak in words , but communicates through signs , symbols , feelings , instincts , and vivid dreams .
The Difference Between Signs and Omens The Soul communicates itself in different ways throughout our lives but the most common way for us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
From dream omens to serendipitous signs , metaphors , and symbols – all originate from our rich unconscious which is a direct window into our Souls .
You might ask yourself what the difference is between a sign and an omen .
I ’ ll differentiate them for you below : So as we can see , a sign is a form of guidance that emerges and an omen is a form of guidance that arises spontaneously and out of the blue .
My personal experience with an omen occurred many years @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
I was going through a powerful personal transformation and on one of my early walks on a rainy winter morning , I came across a brown snake .
I froze in place – as did the snake – both of us staring at each other for what must have been a few minutes , though it felt eternal .
I felt a strong connection to her , almost as if she was communicating something intuitively .
A few moments later , she slithered back into the bushland .
To me , that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It occurred during twilight when the doors between the different realms are said to open .
Snakes are also symbolic of wisdom and transformation as they are constantly shedding new skin .
And most importantly , brown snakes are very rare in this area of Australia , especially so in winter when they are in a state of semi-hibernation .
As a result , I understood that an intense shift was about to happen in my life , giving me time to prepare , be open , and stay mindful .
One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that you ’ ve authentically encountered an omen , you have to be quite familiar with your natural environment to know whether what ’ s happening is common or totally out-of-place .
This is why getting out in nature and connecting with your local environment is very important .
3 Ways You Might Encounter Spiritual Signs and Omens We ’ re all connected to One universal force , but that doesn ’ t mean that we all harmoniously flow down the river of life .
If we aren ’ t aware and if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signposts that are guiding us toward wise and powerful decisions , we ’ ll miss out on the wonderful opportunities that Life is presenting to us .
There are a few ways that spiritual signs and omens will present themselves to you .
Most commonly you ’ ll find them in nature and through animals as they are alive and directly driven by Spirit .
But signs and omens also present themselves in many other ways , shapes , and forms .
Spiritual signs and omens most commonly occur in the following ways @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in dreams , but not any “ usual ” or commonplace dream .
You ’ ll know that a sign or omen has emerged in your dream when it is extremely vivid , unusual , or intense .
Some of these dreams feel so “ real ” that it ’ s hard for us to distinguish them from waking life ( as is the case of lucid dreams ) .
Dreams of paralysis , visits from the dead , shape-shifting into wild creatures , wielding magical powers – all these are examples of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
These types of dreams often herald things to come or epiphanies that are soon to be fully understood ( such as understanding the meaning of life ) .
A quick note : When trying to understand the meaning of your dreams , try to avoid relying on “ dream symbol ” books which are full of preconceived ideas about what each dream image means .
Some people might like horses and in their dream , the horse could be a positive sign , while for others that horse might be a negative @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the apocalypse ) .
Throughout our daily lives , we ’ re often given guidance .
But due to our often busy and stimulation-filled days , we ’ re zoned out to this wisdom – almost as if we ’ re in a state of chronic trance .
Examples of spiritual signs and omens that we may experience in daily life can include sudden ear ringing , stumbling across the same book multiple times , seeing repeated numbers ( like 11 11 ) or symbols , and even circumstances that seem beyond @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , wanting to find a new house , and being randomly offered a place to stay in the exact suburb you ’ re interested in .
This is known as synchronicity .
There is an infinite number of possible ways that Spirit and your Soul are trying to communicate with you in your everyday life .
All you need to do is open your eyes and pay attention to anything that feels deep , unusual , or somehow “ special.
” Of all the possible ways that spiritual signs and omens can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ observe .
Why ?
The answer is that nature is so full of life ( and one of its purest expressions ) , and is ever-changing , and always vibrating with an endless variety of messages .
These messages might be reflected in a puddle , through an insect Spirit Guide , the affirming way a tree sways in the wind , or the enlightening way the clouds part on an overcast day in response to a thought you ’ re having .
These messages might also be expressed through death or decay @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or a carcass that reminds us of our own mortality .
When going out in nature , be mindful of what you see and experience .
What catches your eye ?
What is out of place ?

“Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.” – Albert Einstein
With our constant exposure to digital news, ads, and social media, we’ve lost the valuable skill that our ancestors had of gathering information firsthand from our surroundings.
We’ve lost the ability to perceive the deep interconnection between us and the natural world, and the different ways nature is alive and communicates with us.
The patterns of birds in flight, the blooming of trees outside of their season, the temperature of the ocean’s water, the invasion of ants or snails … there are so many occurrences in nature that carry valuable information and significance that we don’t pay attention to anymore.
In our modern fast-paced world, signs have been divorced from their significance.
Nature is always communicating with us and often this occurs through the appearance of signs and omens.
Indigenous traditions understood this as working and being in harmony with the flow or web of life. Through Physics we now know this as the “unified field.”
These spiritual signs and omens present themselves to us daily (or at least once-in-a-blue-moon) on our spiritual journeys. Like breadcrumbs to follow, we can re-learn how to trace the wisdom of this subtle guidance. The result is an increased sense of understanding, awe, reverence, interconnectedness, love, and self-awareness.
Signs and Omens Are a Magical Doorway to the Present Moment
Over the last few years, I have been finding new ways to deeply connect to the world around me. One of these ways is by paying close attention to the signs and omens I encounter throughout my daily life.
Watching out for spiritual signs and omens not only provides me with guidance, but it is also an effective method of grounding my awareness in the present moment.
When seen through clear eyes that are rooted in the present moment, I realize that life sends us so many signs, messages, and omens every day. It’s just that many of us don’t have the eyes to see it.
We get so lost in our chaotic and blurry thoughts of the past and future that we forget the wonders that lie with us in the present.
Keeping this in mind, I try to start every day with a grounded and aware presence and receptivity to life. And I often discover something amazing on my morning walks: Life or Spirit is directly communicating with me (as one being ultimately inseparable from It). My unconscious needs or questions are frequently met with spiritual signs and omens of various natures.
Recently I’ve been seeing three birds constantly cross my path: the wagtail, white ibis, and duck. Upon reflection and deep observation, I understand that the wagtail represents playfulness and joy, the white ibis represents opportunity, and the duck represents nurturing. To me the message from Life is very clear, “Every day is an opportunity to experience joy and self-love, no matter what happens.“
Signs, Omens, and the Spiritual Awakening Journey
On a similar note, just as seeing signs and omens are powerful ways of reconnecting with the present moment, they also commonly signify that you’re going through a deep spiritual shift. Some call this an expansion in consciousness, others call it an evolution of the Soul, but in essence, a spiritual awakening is what happens when we “wake up.” In other words, we start questioning the decisions we’ve made, the paths we’ve chosen, and even the beliefs/values we’ve automatically adopted or inherited from others. The proverbial “veil” of unconsciousness and living on autopilot ends – and a new era begins.
So where do spiritual signs and omens come into the picture? The uncanny, strange, serendipitous, and (sometimes) even miraculous occurrences you might experience are all ways of deepening your awakening and keeping you alert. It’s like a nudge from the Divine who is trying to get your attention. Many times, these signs and omens are messages in disguise – your Soul, after all, doesn’t speak in words, but communicates through signs, symbols, feelings, instincts, and vivid dreams.
The Difference Between Signs and Omens
The Soul communicates itself in different ways throughout our lives but the most common way for us to understand is through metaphor and symbol.
From dream omens to serendipitous signs, metaphors, and symbols – all originate from our rich unconscious which is a direct window into our Souls.
You might ask yourself what the difference is between a sign and an omen. I’ll differentiate them for you below:
What is a Sign? Signs appear in moments when we are facing a difficult decision or need help integrating a realization about ourselves that we’ve recently had. It’s like consulting an oracle: you know you need guidance, and the answer will present itself when you are open and receptive to it. What is an Omen? Omens emerge spontaneously into our lives – they usually arise without any prior request on our part for guidance. They are rare, of great significance, and stand out because of their weird, outlandish, and even bizarre nature. They can also be wondrous, conspicuous, and astounding. But above all, they are always mysterious. In other words, an omen often indicates that an ominous, important, or prophetic event is about to occur or is occurring.
So as we can see, a sign is a form of guidance that emerges at our request, and an omen is a form of guidance that arises spontaneously and out of the blue.
My personal experience with an omen occurred many years ago when I first arrived in Australia. I was going through a powerful personal transformation and on one of my early walks on a rainy winter morning, I came across a brown snake. I froze in place – as did the snake – both of us staring at each other for what must have been a few minutes, though it felt eternal. I felt a strong connection to her, almost as if she was communicating something intuitively. A few moments later, she slithered back into the bushland.
To me, that was a prophetic omen for several reasons. It occurred during twilight when the doors between the different realms are said to open. Snakes are also symbolic of wisdom and transformation as they are constantly shedding new skin. And most importantly, brown snakes are very rare in this area of Australia, especially so in winter when they are in a state of semi-hibernation. As a result, I understood that an intense shift was about to happen in my life, giving me time to prepare, be open, and stay mindful.
One final word on omens: to know that you’ve authentically encountered an omen, you have to be quite familiar with your natural environment to know whether what’s happening is common or totally out-of-place. This is why getting out in nature and connecting with your local environment is very important.
3 Ways You Might Encounter Spiritual Signs and Omens
We’re all connected to One universal force, but that doesn’t mean that we all harmoniously flow down the river of life. If we aren’t aware and if we don’t listen to the signposts that are guiding us toward wise and powerful decisions, we’ll miss out on the wonderful opportunities that Life is presenting to us.
There are a few ways that spiritual signs and omens will present themselves to you. Most commonly you’ll find them in nature and through animals as they are alive and directly driven by Spirit. But signs and omens also present themselves in many other ways, shapes, and forms.
Spiritual signs and omens most commonly occur in the following ways:
1. Signs and Omens in Dreams
Spiritual signs and omens often occur in dreams, but not any “usual” or commonplace dream. You’ll know that a sign or omen has emerged in your dream when it is extremely vivid, unusual, or intense. Some of these dreams feel so “real” that it’s hard for us to distinguish them from waking life (as is the case of lucid dreams).
Dreams of paralysis, visits from the dead, shape-shifting into wild creatures, wielding magical powers – all these are examples of dreams that can potentially be deeply meaningful. These types of dreams often herald things to come or epiphanies that are soon to be fully understood (such as understanding the meaning of life).
A quick note: When trying to understand the meaning of your dreams, try to avoid relying on “dream symbol” books which are full of preconceived ideas about what each dream image means. Dreams symbology is a very personal thing. Some people might like horses and in their dream, the horse could be a positive sign, while for others that horse might be a negative omen (i.e., like the horseman of the apocalypse).
2. Signs and Omens in Daily Life
Throughout our daily lives, we’re often given guidance. But due to our often busy and stimulation-filled days, we’re zoned out to this wisdom – almost as if we’re in a state of chronic trance.
Examples of spiritual signs and omens that we may experience in daily life can include sudden ear ringing, stumbling across the same book multiple times, seeing repeated numbers (like 11 11) or symbols, and even circumstances that seem beyond pure serendipity or luck. For example, wanting to find a new house, and being randomly offered a place to stay in the exact suburb you’re interested in. This is known as synchronicity.
There is an infinite number of possible ways that Spirit and your Soul are trying to communicate with you in your everyday life. All you need to do is open your eyes and pay attention to anything that feels deep, unusual, or somehow “special.”
3. Signs and Omens in Nature
Of all the possible ways that spiritual signs and omens can be expressed, nature is my favorite to observe. Why? The answer is that nature is so full of life (and one of its purest expressions), and is ever-changing, and always vibrating with an endless variety of messages.
These messages might be reflected in a puddle, through an insect Spirit Guide, the affirming way a tree sways in the wind, or the enlightening way the clouds part on an overcast day in response to a thought you’re having. These messages might also be expressed through death or decay, such as a fallen tree, or a carcass that reminds us of our own mortality.
When going out in nature, be mindful of what you see and experience. What catches your eye? What is out of place? Keep a journal and reflect on your discoveries.
Five Ways to Know That You’ve Received a Sign
With all this talk of receiving spiritual signs and omens, how do we know when we’ve actually received a sign (or a form of guidance that we’ve asked for)? Pay attention to the following:
If it is a valid sign, it will come shortly after you’ve been pondering about something in your life, or shortly after you’ve directly asked a meaningful and difficult question. This might mean a few seconds to a day or two. It intuitively feels “special” or meaningful in some way. (You don’t need to know how or why right away.) It grabs your attention in a sudden or unusual way – kind of like a tap on the shoulder by the Universe. It makes you feel something such as awe, gratitude, relief, curiosity, etc. It puts you into a meditative or self-reflective state. In other words, it will make you think “what does that mean?”
What Do You Do After Being Given a Sign?
Being given a sign is like receiving a wink from the Divine – it is a moment of joy, knowing that you are being guided.
There are a number of things you can do after being given a sign. Some of them include:
Offering your gratitude (simply saying thank you to God/Universe/Spirit)
Contemplate its meaning (reflect on what the sign means and is showing you)
Journaling your thoughts and feelings (write down any discoveries or insights that emerge within you)
Observing what happens in the next few days, weeks, or months
How to Understand What Exactly a Sign Means
Spirit loves symbols and images, so you have to ask yourself what the sign you’ve been given evokes in you.
What is the first thought that came to mind? How did you emotionally react to it? Has it brought back any memories? Try to avoid imposing a mental answer onto the sign and instead, allow your intuition or your gut feeling, to be the translator of the sign.
The meaning might not be apparent right away – and if that’s the case, just let time pass and the meaning will unveil itself when the moment is right. This is often the way of things.
***
When we open our awareness to how the Universe is involved in our healing, growth, spiritual awakening journey, and conscious evolution, life takes on a deeper meaning. Not only are we drawn back into the present moment, but we also rediscover the magic and mystery of being connected with something beyond the limited ego. The result is a greater feeling of expansion, faith, trust, hope, and peace.
Signs can be given from without, but significance can only blossom from within.

consciouslifenews--2020-10-29--Know The New Techno-Dictionary And Save Your Kids Using Iphone Parental Controls!

The constant technological advances expose children to different risks .
Therefore , parents should accompany them , talk with them and warn them about possible dangers .
But… What happens if these risks take place in an environment “ unknown ” to some adults , such as social networks and the Internet in general ?
So that you do not stay “ outside ” of the different and renewed problems that occur in the web world , we translate the main terms .
New concepts to include in our dictionary • Cyberbullying : defines when a child is threatened , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ child or group from the Internet , interactive media , digital technologies and mobile phones .
It is a deliberate act and involves recurrent and repetitive damage inflicted through different means .
• Grooming : are deliberate actions by an adult in order to establish ties of friendship with a child on the Internet , with the aim of obtaining sexual satisfaction through erotic or pornographic images of the child or even as a preparation for a sexual encounter , possibly through abuse against children .
• Sexting ( contraction of sex and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of erotic or pornographic contents by means of mobile phones .
It began by referring to the sending of SMS of a sexual nature .
The sending of videos of pornographic nature with the term “ Sexting ” should not be confused .
It is a common practice among young people , and increasingly among teenagers .
When we talk about Cyberbullying or Sexting , these are behaviors of harassment between peers ; many times both begin apparently harmlessly and can quickly degenerate into cruel processes of systematic harassment .
In contrast , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a child for sexual purposes , which , the dangers and consequences can become equally serious , but more traumatic .
What these problems share is that , when made from virtual spaces through interactive media or digital technologies , the scope is massive and the material can be disseminated easily and widely .
Thus , the initial sender loses control over the dissemination of said contents .
In turn , this can lead to the affected child or youth feeling helpless and worn out in front of a phenomenon that they can @ @ @ @ @ @ @ victim of different types of harassment .
The impact can be devastating and cause significant psychic and physical sequelae , strong states of anxiety , late insomnia , back pain and depressive states .
The affected person may experience a decrease in their performance , in addition to psychological and emotional sequels , with a strongly hurt self-esteem .
It is usual that if a child is exposed to any of these problems , by similarity and similar characteristics , one of the other two can quickly develop .
In particular , Sexting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expose minors to Grooming and Cyberbullying , as a means of pressure and ridicule against the person being photographed .
In Grooming , Sexting or Cyberbullying , children can be subjected or threatened to disclose personal information or to behave inappropriately , often with the false belief that if they do this the harassment will stop .
It is precisely this response that triggers a vicious circle between the harassed and harassed , which is only possible to stop if detected early and intervened quickly .
That is why it is important that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ education of their children 's behavior on the Internet and that they are concerned with fostering an effective communication channel with their children .

The constant technological advances expose children to different risks. Therefore, parents should accompany them, talk with them and warn them about possible dangers. But… What happens if these risks take place in an environment “unknown” to some adults, such as social networks and the Internet in general? So that you do not stay “outside” of the different and renewed problems that occur in the web world, we translate the main terms.
New concepts to include in our dictionary
Cyberbullying: defines when a child is threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed by another child or group from the Internet, interactive media, digital technologies and mobile phones. It is a deliberate act and involves recurrent and repetitive damage inflicted through different means. Grooming: are deliberate actions by an adult in order to establish ties of friendship with a child on the Internet, with the aim of obtaining sexual satisfaction through erotic or pornographic images of the child or even as a preparation for a sexual encounter, possibly through abuse against children. Sexting(contraction of sex and texting): it is the sending of erotic or pornographic contents by means of mobile phones. It began by referring to the sending of SMS of a sexual nature. The sending of videos of pornographic nature with the term “Sexting” should not be confused. It is a common practice among young people, and increasingly among teenagers.
When we talk about Cyberbullying or Sexting, these are behaviors of harassment between peers; many times both begin apparently harmlessly and can quickly degenerate into cruel processes of systematic harassment. In contrast, Grooming must involve an adult who harasses a child for sexual purposes, which, the dangers and consequences can become equally serious, but more traumatic.
What these problems share is that, when made from virtual spaces through interactive media or digital technologies, the scope is massive and the material can be disseminated easily and widely. Thus, the initial sender loses control over the dissemination of said contents.
In turn, this can lead to the affected child or youth feeling helpless and worn out in front of a phenomenon that they can no longer stop, thus becoming the victim of different types of harassment. The impact can be devastating and cause significant psychic and physical sequelae, strong states of anxiety, late insomnia, back pain and depressive states. The affected person may experience a decrease in their performance, in addition to psychological and emotional sequels, with a strongly hurt self-esteem.
It is usual that if a child is exposed to any of these problems, by similarity and similar characteristics, one of the other two can quickly develop. In particular, Sexting is indicated as an activity that can expose minors to Grooming and Cyberbullying, as a means of pressure and ridicule against the person being photographed.
In Grooming, Sexting or Cyberbullying, children can be subjected or threatened to disclose personal information or to behave inappropriately, often with the false belief that if they do this the harassment will stop. It is precisely this response that triggers a vicious circle between the harassed and harassed, which is only possible to stop if detected early and intervened quickly.

Warning that without a “seismic shift” in how world governments approach the treatment of wildlife, land conservation, and public health, the planet could be entering an “era of pandemics,” a United Nations-backed report released Thursday emphasized that the ability to avoid more public health crises like Covid-19 is entirely within the human population's control.
Resulting from an urgent virtual workshop attended by 22 experts from around the world, the report by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services notes that more than five new diseases emerge in people each year, and each of these has the potential to develop into a global pandemic as the coronavirus did.
“We have the increasing ability to prevent pandemics—but the way we are tackling them right now largely ignores that ability.”
—Dr. Peter Daszak, EcoHealth Alliance
The novel coronavirus has origins in microbes detected in animal species and is believed to have “jumped” from an animal to the human population in Wuhan, China, and human activity has made it dangerously easy for this sort of jump to happen again and again.
Scientists estimate that 1.7 million unknown viruses currently exist in mammals and birds and that up to 850,000 of them could potentially infect humans.
“There is no great mystery about the cause of the Covid-19 pandemic—or of any modern pandemic,” said Dr. Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance and chair of the IPBES workshop. “The same human activities that drive climate change and biodiversity loss also drive pandemic risk through their impacts on our environment. Changes in the way we use the land; the expansion and intensification of agriculture; and unsustainable trade, production, and consumption disrupt nature and increase contact between wildlife.”
To stop a new era of pandemics from emerging, the experts say, governments must work together to stop the exploitation of land and wildlife by profit-driven systems, which cause humans and animals to come into close enough contact for pathogens to jump to humans.
Unsafe contact between humans and wildlife would be reduced by conservation efforts to protect biodiversity and natural habitats, the promotion of “responsible consumption” and a reduction in “excessive consumption of meat from livestock production,” and climate action, the report reads.
“Climate change has been implicated in disease emergence (e.g. tick-borne encephalitis in Scandinavia) and will likely cause substantial future pandemic risk by the driving movement of people, wildlife, reservoirs, and vectors, and spread of their pathogens, in ways that lead to new contact among species, increased contact among species or otherwise disrupts natural host-pathogen dynamics,” the IPBES wrote.
According to the report, land-use change has been linked to the emergence of more than 30% of new diseases in the human population since 1960.
“Land-use change includes deforestation, human settlement is primarily wildlife habitat, the growth of crop and livestock production, and urbanization,” the report reads.

Collective Mystical Journey

If someone had asked me , when I was young what it means to have a spiritual experience , I probably would have suggested something along the lines of experiencing winged angels and a man sitting on a throne in the clouds judging us for our moral or immoral behavior .

The real story of spiritual experience is a story of humanity , our history , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saints and seers would describe for humanity contact with something much greater than ourselves , with the characteristics of love , peace , bliss , and compassion .
Once they contacted this plane of existence , everything in their life would change .
They would become more selfless , empathetic , and compassionate towards all beings .

There is much @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were , but one thing I know for certain is that they have passed down a spiritual technology for expanding consciousness , to all the civilizations they touched .

It is thought that the pyramids themselves are designed in such a way to harvest an undetectable type of energy and channel it into the initiative to allow them to open a gate within their minds .
It is the same gate that we pass through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states of enlightenment .
The energy they describe is what Hindus call Prana , and what the Chinese called Chi .
It is a sort of bio-spiritual energy .

If someone had asked me, when I was young what it means to have a spiritual experience, I probably would have suggested something along the lines of experiencing winged angels and a man sitting on a throne in the clouds judging us for our moral or immoral behavior. But even as a child I knew there was something wrong with this description. It never really resonated with me and I intuitively knew there was much more to the story.
The real story of spiritual experience is a story of humanity, our history, and our future. Throughout history mystics, saints and seers would describe for humanity contact with something much greater than ourselves, with the characteristics of love, peace, bliss, and compassion. Once they contacted this plane of existence, everything in their life would change. They would become more selfless, empathetic, and compassionate towards all beings. They would describe being guided by otherworldly entities, having mystical visions, seeing our future, and our past.
Each of these mystics stumbled upon what I believe to be an ancient technology for expanding consciousness beyond the normal limits. The techniques of course have differences, but they also have similarities, and all originate from a common lineage and ancient culture. The earliest civilizations that were known to have understood this technology were the ancient Sumerians, Egyptians, Indians, Chinese, and Mayans to name a few. They all can be traced back to an advanced culture that existed hundreds of thousands of years ago. Plato the famous Greek wrote about an advanced island civilization that sank beneath the sea called Atlantis. There is much speculation about Atlantis and who these people were, but one thing I know for certain is that they have passed down a spiritual technology for expanding consciousness, to all the civilizations they touched.
Much of the writings on the walls of the pyramids are instructions on how to achieve enlightenment. It is thought that the pyramids themselves are designed in such a way to harvest an undetectable type of energy and channel it into the initiative to allow them to open a gate within their minds. It is the same gate that we pass through at birth, death, and during states of enlightenment. The energy they describe is what Hindus call Prana, and what the Chinese called Chi. It is a sort of bio-spiritual energy. The entire practice of Yoga is in fact a method of freeing this energy up in the body, allowing it to flow freely uninhibited and using it in meditation to open the same gateway in the mind achieving enlightenment or in yogic terms “union with the divine”.
Being of a scientific mind, you would never have convinced me of these things prior to 2017, when everything in my life was about to change. I had inadvertently performed all the techniques necessary to release the extra stored spiritual energy, (prana or chi). The extra energy is stored in your lower back near your Sacrum, which is a bone whose name shares the same origin as the word Sacred. In yogic science, they describe this energy as the sacred kundalini, described as a serpent coiled three and a half times laying dormant at the base of the spine until aroused. The kundalini, it is said, is a spiritual energy that prepares your body to handle even more energy, helps you identify and remove blockages to your spiritual path, such as past traumas, dogmatic thinking, unhelpful beliefs and mindset, grief, shame, etc.; and allows you to progress on the path to enlightenment.
For me, I had never heard of the kundalini and was not expecting it to occur. One evening I was seated in meditation when I noticed a strange sensation in my lower back. When I put my attention on it, two balls of energy were released and traveled up either side of my spine to the center of my forehead and there was a flash of light. The light had a sort of jagged shape on the top resembling an old fashion crown. In fact, this is also where the idea of a coronation ceremony came from representing the connection between the King and God. The word crown and coronation come from the word corona meaning “light”. It is also where Raja or “King Yoga” gets its name. Raja Yoga is a type of seated meditation. I also believe that they used the serpent to represent the energy because of the sensation of the energy moving up the back, it is not meant to have any sort of evil connotations. In the immediate moments after the kundalini was released, I did not feel any different, but in the weeks and months to follow, I would experience the world differently and be progressed on the path toward enlightenment more rapidly. My story was so amazing that I became an author and wrote my first book titled “Northern Awakening: The Evolution of Consciousness”. The book describes my experiences and how we are all on the same path of spiritual evolution moving collectively towards enlightened consciousness, that is currently being accelerated world-wide.
