Written by Roxanne Louise. Feel free to circulate.
Request to Remote Viewers for Next Meeting, Sunday, February 21 at Nelson County Library, 2:30 – 4:30 PM.
I would appreciate it if any of you trained in Remote Viewing, please check into what you see locally, nationally or perhaps beyond, for rest of this year, 2011 and 2012 and share with us at meeting. Most importantly, what would be important/useful to do to be most prepared for upcoming events? Do any of you see beyond 2012? If you can’t come to the meeting, call 434-361-1969 or email Roxanne at roxannelouise@verizon.net with your results.
I have decided that conducting a session on Hypnosis for the Future would best be rescheduled as a session in itself so that we can have more time. If you are interested, let me know when would be good for you. Anyone want to offer their own space? Roxanne’s yard is still snow covered and provides no parking at the moment.

Interesting Videos/Audios:
1. Solar Grill, Once you click on link, also note all the other related videos on solar cookers, including this one using an old satellite dish. http://mealwormfarm.com/hqsolar/hqsolargrillonline.html
2. The End of Suburbia, Points out peak oil, but also that our electric needs are committed to natural gas, another resource that is rapidly draining away, and some of which comes out of Canada. Any valuable resource that becomes scarce will be removed from export to other nations. Documentary advocates revitalization of our cities that have balanced neighborhoods where people not only live, but can walk to work, and can meet all of their needs.

3. Jay Weidner, I find this man very interesting. In Conscious Media interview he is much more hopeful than other interviews where he says he is headed to Peru to live, but that survival for any of us on the planet is questionable. He says that next 4 years will be rough, but then will lead to better world. To survive, we must be willing to change and drastically re-examine our life.

Remote Viewing
How is remote viewing different from other psychic abilities? Is it more accurate?
Can it be separated from bias, emotions, other energies that plague other forms of psychic work? How does a viewer look for any bias and screen it out?
Can remote viewing assist us to plot a wise, safe course into this very strange, sometimes scary, and rapidly changing world?
What about parallel realities and probable futures?
How do we interpret what we see?
Can we change the future by acting proactively in the present to counteract what we foresee or is the future predestined?
Can we change the future by remote viewing the past to find causes of negative probable future events and change them?
Can remote viewing be applied to alternative time tracks that we would never physically experience?
Do viewers tune in to an alternative time track that are more cataclysmic/dramatic than the time track that is more probable? Does fear, emotion and drama attract the viewer to them?
One skeptic: Article from http://www.reptilianagenda.com/research/r012100a.shtml
“As much as remote viewers try to distinguish themselves from psychics and channelers and to be scientific rather than New Age, remote viewing is still clairvoyance. People like Ingo Swann and Ed Dames are to be congratulated for working out elaborate protocols to make the type of clairvoyance they practice as free from bias as possible, but bias is unavoidable. It might seem that when remote viewers are given a random number that a monitor has assigned to a target, this prevents biasing from the monitor. It does not. WHAT CONNECTS THE RANDOM NUMBER WITH THE TARGET IS THE INTENT AND THOUGHT OF THE MONITOR, SO IN ORDER TO FIND THE TARGET, THE REMOTE VIEWER HAS TO CONNECT WITH THE MIND OF THE MONITOR!” (this is called telepathic overlay) “And if the remote viewer can pick up the monitor’s conscious identification of the target, he or she can equally well pick up other ideas the monitor has about the target, both conscious and unconscious. In fact, each remote viewer of a team can pick up the conscious and unconscious ideas of all the other team members. More than being discovery about a target, such remote viewing is an exercise in group mind!”
“Dames says that when one remote viewer views a target, he perceives as part of the target other remote viewers who are also viewing it or who have viewed it in the past. In other words, the act of remote viewing a target changes the target. Well, the same applies to people THINKING about a target.”
5. Joseph McMoneagle, author of Stargate Chronicles, Ultimate Time Machine, Mind Trek, Remote Viewer 001, Remote Viewing Secrets, believes that you can teach yourself remote viewing by following certain protocols and learning from your mistakes. But if you know anything at all about a target, your imagination goes crazy. You have to set viewing to be “blind”. He feels that you can remote view the future, past as well as present, and that distance doesn’t matter–even going out in the galaxy. He empties his mind prior to view, may use hemisync tape method that he learn from the late Bob Monroe (his father-in-law) from Monroe Institute. He does not foresee an asteroid hit, but rather a near miss perhaps 50 years out. On Coast to Coast, 2007. He does not believe that remote viewing cannot be blocked on human level (Hein says this is because all things leave an energy signature, see How Remote Viewing Works below), but did say that aliens seem to become aware of you, and can block. Website: http://www.mceagle.com. Several parts from 11/06 interview. First is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsNCR5oeNZQ&feature=related
6. Ingo Swan (one of the most famous and accurate remote viewers) from Coast to Coast, 12 parts. First part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSsVT8LO1v0&feature=related
Swan says that the scientific method is geared to the material world, and is unable to study the non-material world in which consciousness and all forms of the paranormal or psychic abilities. Matter accounts for only between 4-7% of the universe. How then do we determine what is the rest?
8. Paul Smith, remote viewing instructor and author of Reading the Enemy’s Mind: Inside Star Gate: America’s Psychic Espionage Program , on Coast to Coast Part 1: of several. In part 4 he discusses the low rate of accurate hits for seeing accurately into the future because, future doesn’t exist yet, but is more of potential. Another problem is that future based on choices/decisions of many others, that can change. Another problem is how to best task it without clouding issue (Remote viewing is more accurate when you don’t know what you are trying to view). (Some people also think that there are parallel realities.) On Tape 7, Ed Dames joins in on viewing the future. Dames says that having the intention of telling the future makes it a problem. He says one way to change the future is to go back into the past and change the events that would have later created the problem! I and my colleagues do this with hypnosis also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdWjWakhi-0

More Bad News Article: Global supply of rare earth elements could be wiped out by 2012
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor http://www.naturalnews.com/028028_rare_earth_elements_mining.html
Originally published January 26 2010
(NaturalNews) It’s the bubble you’ve probably never heard of: The rare earth bubble. And it’s due to pop in 2012, potentially devastating the industries of western nations that depend on these rare elements.
What industries are those? The automobile industry uses tens of thousands of tons of rare earth elements each year, and advanced military technology depends on these elements, too. Lots of “green” technologies depend on them, including wind turbines, low-energy light bulbs and hybrid car batteries. In fact, much of western civilization depends on rare earth elements such as terbium, lanthanum and neodymium.
So what’s the problem with these rare elements? 97 percent of the world’s supply comes from mines in China, and China is prepared to simply stop exporting these strategic elements to the rest of the world by 2012. If that happens, the western world will be crippled by the collapse of available rare earth elements. Manufacturing of everything from computers and electronics to farm machinery will grind to a halt. Electronics will disappear from the shelves and prices for manufactured goods that depend on these rare elements will skyrocket.
These 17 rare earth elements (REE) — all of which are metals — are strategic resources upon which entire nations are built. In many ways, they are similar to rubber — a resource so valuable and important to the world that many experts call it the “fourth most important natural resource in the world,” right after water, steel and oil. Without rubber, you couldn’t drive your car to work or water your lawn. Many medical technologies would cease to work and virtually all commercial construction would grind to a halt.Many of the strategic battles fought in World War II were fought, in fact, over control of rubber, most of which now comes through Singapore and its surrounding regions (Malaysia and Indonesia).
Global shortage of Rare Earth Elements coming…
Now, by threatening to cut off the world’s supply of rare earth elements, China appears to be attempting to monopolize this extremely important strategic resource. According to information received by The Independent, by 2012 China may cease all exports of rare earth elements, reserving them for its own economic expansion.
An article in that paper quotes REE expert Jack Lifton as saying, “A real crunch is coming. In America, Britain and elsewhere we have not yet woken up to the fact that there is an urgent need to secure the supply of rare earths from sources outside China.”
And yet virtually no one has heard of this problem! People are familiar with peak oil, global warming, ocean acidification, the national debt and the depletion of fossil water, but very few are aware of the looming crisis in rare metals… upon which much of western civilization rests.
For those who still aren’t convinced this is a big deal, consider this: Without rare earth elements, we would have no iPhones. Yeah, I know. That’s a disaster, huh?
We would have no fiber optic cables, either. No X-ray machines, no car stereos and no high-tech missile guidance systems for the military. And here’s the real kicker: No electric motors.
Demand outstrips supply
The problem with the supply of rare earth elements is that demand has skyrocketed over the last decade from 40,000 tons to 120,000 tons. Meanwhile, China has been cutting its exports. Now, it only exports about 30,000 tons a year — only one-fourth of the demand the world needs.
In order to build more “green” technologies, the world will need 200,000 tons of rare earth elements by 2014, predicts The Independent. Yet China now threatens to drop exports to exactly zero tons by 2012.
It isn’t hard to do the math on this: Without China’s exports, the western world will quickly run out of rare earth elements.
Kiss your “green” wind turbines good-bye. And your Toyota Prius production lines, too. No more iPhones and iPods either. Without these rare earth elements, entire industries grind to a halt.
Can we mine it elsewhere?
China isn’t the only geographic region where these rare earth elements are found, but constructing mines to pull these elements out of the ground takes many years. Some mines are under construction right now in other countries that could help fill the demand for REEs, but making them operational is “five to ten years away,” says Lifton. That means these other mines won’t really be operational until 2015 – 2020. Meanwhile, China could cut off its supply in 2012. That leaves a 3-7 year gap in which these rare earth elements will be in disastrously short supply.
This brings up a couple of very important realizations related to investments:
It is almost certain that the prices for rare earth elements will skyrocket over the next 2 – 5 years. This creates a huge investment opportunity for people willing to take a risk and bet their money on rising prices of these metals.
There’s another big investment opportunity here, too: Recycling rare earth elements. As prices leap higher, it will become more economically feasible to harvest rare earth elements out of garbage dumps and landfills where people are discarding electronics such as motors, computers, sound systems and other such items.
Some smart entrepreneur will no doubt make a fortune by setting up and operating a rare earth element reclamation operation of some kind. These elements, after all, aren’t destroyed when they’re thrown away. They sit around in the trash for eons, just waiting to be reclaimed and re-used.
Lead, for example, is a metal that is successfully recycled today. Something like 85% of all the lead used in America today is reclaimed out of lead-acid batteries and other similar devices. If similar programs could be initiated for the rare metals, we could go a long way towards meeting society’s demand for these elements without having to keep mining them out of the ground.
Because let’s face it: Mining these rare earth elements is a very DIRTY business. That’s part of the contradiction in “green” technologies, by the way: To manufacture them, you need rare metals mined out of ecologically disastrous operations in China. It’s the (literal) “dirty little secret” of the green industry. All these wind turbines, solar panels, hybrid car batteries and fiber optics may seem green to the consumer, but behind them there’s a very dirty mining business that rapes the planet and pollutes the rivers in order to recover these “green” rare metals.
In any case, unless scientists find less-rare alternatives to many of these rare earth metals, we are looking at a serious global supply crunch for the years 2012 – 2020. Add the “rare earth elements bubble” to your list of other bubbles to watch out for in the years ahead.
Some of the 17 rare earth elements
Dysprosium – Makes electric motor magnets 90% lighter
Terbium – Makes electric lights 80% more efficient
Neodymium – Used in motor magnets
Lanthanum – Used for hydrogen storage
Praseodymium – Used in lasers and ceramic materials
Gadolinium – Used to manufacture computer memory
Erbium – Used in the manufacture of vanadium steel
Ytterbium – Used to make infrared lasers
