Debauchery and greed overshadow the excellence of the OlympicsThomas Jolly's artistic direction of the opening ceremony, while aiming for inclusivity, left me unsettled. The decision to prominently feature certain controversial aspects of the LGBTQ+ community felt sensational rather than celebratory, overshadowing more universally recognised symbols of excellence and unity. This focus seemed out of place for an event that was supposed to represent global harmony and led to concerns about the over-sexualisation of modern culture being presented on a world stage. The execution of Marie Antoinette's shock value seemed to take precedence over a balanced and respectful representation of diversity, and the Bacchus party was clearly a negative and disrespectful nod to da Vinci's magnificent Last Supper.

Renowned Psychic Medium, Franco A Romero is on the show breaking down his predictions and what he believes is to come this new year. What things should we be evaluating this new year? How will being accountable serve you? How can you best set yourself up for success? Franco is a Top 10 bestselling author, clairvoyant, spiritual coach, and speaker. His first book is titled 'The Closet Spiritualist' which was inspired by a near-death experience that left him clairvoyant. Abilities he was unwilling to recognise until an Awakening in 2010 where he was re-introduced to a collective consciousness known as Caleb. A Voice that has been guiding him since he was a young boy. Franco speaks of being a walk-in and when ET appears in close encounters One of the many Great Resets (that we are now also going through) The Tartarian Empire - another civilisation lost to 'time'.

The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics are scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024, lasting for a total of 17 days. These dates include both the opening and closing ceremonies. The Paralympic Games will follow, running from August 28 to September 8, 2024.
May the supreme athletes of the 2024 Olympics and the Paralympic Games that follow bring joy, peace, and unity to a troubled world. Congratulations to all who are competing, entertaining, and contributing in any way. May the spectators be inspired to get fitter and stronger by the examples set by the representatives from competing countries. Paris 2024 hired French illustrator Ugo Gattoni, known for his vibrant style, to design the posters. He spent a reported total of 2,000 hours creating the two posters that will represent the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024. They present a sort of Art Deco fantasy utopia of Paris, in which familiar monuments (the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, the Arc de Triomphe...) and symbols are present within a cheerful and colourful landscape – one which echoes the games’ slogan “Games Wide Open”.

The global IT outage reminds us to always have printouts of bank statements
and to keep our vehicle tanks full and our devices fully charged The US citizens could have a president right here! One who speaks with wisdom and without cue cards ... but who is really listening? However, I believe Marianne could be one of the many wisdom leaders for the New Earth instead of this crumbling old system. But there is still hope. There is still time to study each party's policies and representatives deeply, leave aside the obvious propaganda and let your best self decide who to vote for - it always knows what is best. I hope that US voters will consider the consequences of measures such as mass deportations. Entire sectors of the economy would grind to a halt - especially agriculture, construction and the service sector, which rely heavily on migrant labour. Marianne has pointed out some possibilities. I ask: who would do the work that many citizens do not want to do? Can taxpayers afford the cost of more law enforcement, court cases and transportation? The outcome of the US election has profound implications for the whole world because of America's huge influence on global politics, economics and security. Please put aside the meaningless banners, the bands, the hype and the mottos and vote wisely - for all our sakes. - Cedar Important video here TRANSCRIPT
Donald Trump apparently made the Republican platform exactly what he wanted it to be, and there are aspects to its proposals that all of us should realize. One is his plan for mass deportations. In fact, there are signs being given away at the convention that say MASS DEPORTATIONS NOW. Mass deportation is a phrase that should make everyone stop short in their tracks. The exact wording in the platform is this: The Republican Party is committed to sending Illegal Aliens back home and removing those who have violated our Laws. The vast majority of our undocumented neighbors are not violent criminals - far less than the percentage of violent criminals among native born Americans, in fact. Most of them are law-abiding people who contribute to our economy. There are over 10 million undocumented people in the United States, most of whom would like nothing more than to be allowed citizenship yet are being forced by our immigration laws to live in the shadows. I am a Jew. Any Jew is deeply aware of what mass deportation means. It conjures up images of boxcars, although this would be planes, trains or buses. It conjures up images of friends and family hiding those they love in basements and garages. It conjures up images of little children terrified to go to school lest they come home and Mommy or Daddy - or both - are gone forever. And do not kid yourself. This is exactly what would happen. Whole communities in a state of trauma. But surely, you’re thinking, nothing like that could ever happen here! Well it’s time to get over that one, because SCOTUS has now given the president immunity from criminal prosecution for anything he considers an “official act.” Forget any legal protection, any Constitutional limits at all to the human rights abuses of tearing people from their homes. One thing about Donald Trump: he usually tells you what he plans to do. Too often however we just haven’t listened, or taken him seriously. We should absolutely take him seriously now. Whatever would they think of what "civilised" humans have done with their intelligence? 'Extraordinary new images released shows dozens of uncontacted people in the Peruvian Amazon. The territory belongs to the Mashco Piro people, believed to be the largest uncontacted tribe in the world. More than 50 Mashco Piro people have appeared near the Yine village of Monte Salvado, in south-east Peru, in recent days. In a separate incident, another group, of 17, appeared near the neighbouring village of Puerto Nuevo.' The Peruvian rainforest near the border with Brazil is home to the largest known uncontacted tribe in the world: the Mashco Piro. But their territory is now under threat as never before. A logging company called Canales Tahuamanu has been extracting timber from their land for years. It has built more than 200km of new roads since 2016, putting the Mashco Piro’s survival at serious risk: the destruction of their forest, chance encounters with the loggers, and the spread of disease could all wipe them out. Contactee Dolly Safran - Tall Greys and GreysSome are becoming more aware of their light body.
The concept of the light body is often found in spiritual, metaphysical, and esoteric traditions. While the physical body is the tangible, material aspect of our existence, the light body refers to a more subtle, energetic dimension. Here are the main distinctions: Physical Body Material Composition: Composed of physical matter, including bones, muscles, organs, and tissues. Perception: Perceived through the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell). Science: Studied extensively by medical and biological sciences, with well-documented functions and processes. Mortality: Subject to aging, illness, and death. Functions: Performs biological functions such as metabolism, movement, and sensory processing. Light Body Energetic Composition: Comprised of subtle energy, often described in terms of light or vibration. Perception: Perceived through spiritual or intuitive experiences, often through meditation, dreams, or altered states of consciousness. Traditions: Explored in various spiritual, esoteric, and metaphysical traditions, including Buddhism, Hinduism, New Age spirituality, and mysticism. Immortality: Often considered eternal or beyond the limits of physical death. Functions: Believed to facilitate higher states of consciousness, spiritual growth, and connection to the divine or universal consciousness. Conceptual Frameworks Chakras and Energy Bodies: In Hindu and Buddhist traditions, the light body is often associated with chakras (energy centres) and nadis (energy channels). It is seen as an energetic template that influences the physical body. Merkaba: In some mystical traditions, the light body is referred to as the Merkaba, a vehicle of light that aids in spiritual ascension and travel through different dimensions. Ascension and Enlightenment: Many spiritual traditions believe that developing the light body is a path to enlightenment, ascension, or higher states of being. Practical Implications Healing: Practices like Reiki, Qigong, and energy healing aim to balance and heal the light body, which in turn can affect physical health. Spiritual Practices: Meditation, prayer, and other spiritual practices are believed to strengthen and activate the light body. Afterlife: Some traditions hold that the light body continues to exist after physical death and is the vehicle through which the soul experiences the afterlife or reincarnation. Understanding the light body can offer a holistic perspective on human existence, integrating the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of being.
I'm shocked but not surprised at the rampant accusations and speculation about who is to blame for the assassination attempt on former President Trump. Fortunately he survived a shot to the ear and was quickly whisked away by secret service agents. It's disappointing to hear influencers of note blaming the 'left' creating ever more divisiveness. I've posted much about the confluence of major issues we are currently facing and discussed these in the posts below. The way I see it, much of this dilemma stems from the two-party system of governance. By its very nature, it fosters intense competition and gridlock. The US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Malta all use this system and often spend months, if not over a year, campaigning for the next election rather than dedicating more time and energy to governing for their citizens. We are beginning to see revelations of corruption, with citizens shocked by the sweetheart deals, bribery, and other unsavoury activities that the so-called "cream of the crop" engage in. Imagine if the resources spent on training and building weapons, espionage, wars, destruction, and subsequent rebuilding were instead directed towards peacemaking and feeding the world. There are approximately 12,500 nuclear warheads globally. A single nuclear explosion can destroy a city and kill millions. Considering there are about 4,416 cities with populations over 150,000 globally, this suggests a capacity to destroy urban centres multiple times over. Nuclear winter, resulting from widespread firestorms caused by multiple detonations, could inject soot into the stratosphere, blocking sunlight and drastically reducing global temperatures. This could lead to widespread agricultural collapse and famine. With this in mind, it wouldn't surprise me if someone is foolish and egotistical enough to initiate a nuclear conflict, which would lead to the death of millions or billions, the collapse of infrastructure, including governments. Civil wars have already begun in many countries unable to govern equitably. More are on the horizon unless we make a drastic shift away from the left/right antagonism and come together for the survival of humanity. - Cedar Rivers GazaInsight SBS on Demand - Near Death Moments
It's wonderful to hear all these brave people talk about how they died and revived, and to hear some scientific, medical and psychological suggestions about how it happens and what changes have taken place in their lives as a result. I hope they do another enquiry where they talk just as openly about what happened within while they were out to it....and have some experienced mystics give their views as well. Brava SBS! Keep the conversations about death going. There is so much to explore. Ray Martin and I are baby boomers and likely to cycle off for the greater adventure within the next decade or so - or as Raymond Moody says 'life after life'. I'm doing everything I can to encourage people to talk openly about death and to prepare for their end. I applaud Ray and SBS for bringing this series to air on 14 August
From the SBS series to air 'Statistically speaking, Australia’s beloved journalist and 5-time Logie winner, Ray Martin, will be dead in 4 years. Actually, because he is male, take another 2 years off. That leaves a short window to plan his funeral and yet- has he done so? Alas, no. In fact, like most Australians, he’s barely given it much thought. Returning to SBS with his new series Ray Martin: The Last Goodbye, Ray takes an investigative deep dive into one of the nation’s last taboos – and life’s only absolute certainty – death. As he sets about planning his own funeral in this series, Ray discovers the trends, rituals, practicalities, and emerging tech around the way we lay ourselves to eternal rest. Meeting with morticians, medical students, undertakers and death deniers, Ray seeks to understand Australia’s relationship with death. From mellifluous Samoan lullabies to heavy metal mosh pits and explosive firework farewells, Ray looks into the nooks and crannies of Australia’s varying cultures and sub-cultures to decide on which elements he would like to incorporate for his own ‘Last Goodbye’. Ray Martin: The Last Goodbye is a poignant, revealing and, at times, humorous quest that will send Ray down the rabbit hole of dirges and vigils, cryonics and body composting, ancient rituals and inventive celebrations, using his signature curiosity, compassion and sharp observations as he contemplates his own personal farewell.

AW: Their bet is that Putin will never deploy nuclear weapons, despite his many threats to do so and recent Russian military drills to deploy tactical nuclear weapons. Given that Russian use of nuclear warheads might well precipitate a nuclear response by the West, the fate of humanity hangs on the restraint and rationality of one man, Putin—a figure who is constantly portrayed by Western media and politicians as an irrational, bloodthirsty monster.
So the human species is supposed to place its hope for survival in someone we’re told is a madman, who leads a state that feels besieged by the most powerful military coalition in history, apparently committed to its demise. Maybe the madmen aren’t in the Russian government but rather in NATO governments? CR: It's alarming that war is often used as a tactic to maintain power, as seen with Netanyahu and many past and present U.S. Presidents. There's a real danger that the U.S. and NATO could push Putin too far. The question is, who will push the first domino? Even a single error could ignite a global inferno, leading to the horrific demise of millions, perhaps even billions. exactly Cedar! and that's us! among the millions! damn! I'm astonished that so many seem oblivious to this very real potential. I'm gobsmacked! I keep telling everyone, but they're too distracted to listen ...and anyway it's quite unbelievable that a bunch of thugs could murder and destroy a whole planet and its people .... I mean, this is real life, isn't it? It is. The greedy humans and their puppet masters have destroyed humanity - with the help of some evil Others - five times already, as far as I know - most recently in Atlantis. I had hoped that with our collective memory from back then, we would do things differently. Blowing up life is madness. Old, belligerent men with one foot on the banana peel and nothing to lose. The only way I can make sense of it all is to see it from the perspective of the soul, with these earthly experiences expanding it. Added to that, many people are so stressed out to the point of wobbly sanity; added to that there are cosmic events that are opening many to their clairs and higher powers; added to that they then see and hear what is really going on around them; added to that climate change is decimating life as we know it; added to that we are facing an economic collapse that has hit Argentina, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Pakistan and Ghana first. We only have to look at the effects in these countries to understand what is unfolding. I could keep adding to this confluence of disasters - but I won't. We'll keep on keeping on at this second before midnight. I find it heartening how people's activism has freed Julian by putting pressure on politicians - which is why I hope more people will reach out to the most powerful politicians in their country to clearly state their concerns, facts and solutions. President Biden at the NATO Summit!!!!!! on X 'And now I want to hand it over to the President of Ukraine who has as much courage as he has determination. Ladies and Gentlemen, President Putin.' .... and went on to call Kamala Harris Vice President Trump. He must step down sooner rather than later. It signals the end of the US Empire regardless of who takes the top position. The emperor has no clothes which is obvious for all to see except those in the deepest denial including his family and inner circle. It's cruel and the price paid for the genocide of an entire people and other atrocities not all of his making. Please see the original conversation under NATO Summit at this link |
