Last year, on August 26th I posted an essay entitled “We are all Orchestral Players.” In it, as usual, I connected dots from various research projects. I explained how Backster with his lie detector discovered that plants register human emotions, and are affected by them, and how Vogel discovered that distance had no diminishing effect on the ability of plants to receive thought energy from humans. The inverse square law so beloved of physicists did not apply. This work is summarized in the The Secret Lives of Plants by Tomkins and Bird.

On 7/2/2006 I posted A Matter of Time. in which I described how Deepak Chopra went to see a Vedic astrologer in India who picked out his horoscope written centuries before and stunned him with the accuracy of its current information.

Well, a great many of the kind of people who would read this blog from choice are among those who consider that the year 2012 is a kind of watershed in the history of Earth and those currently living on it. The Hopis and the Mayans and several other sets of people have ancient prophecies in which this date is, to put it bluntly, the end of time.

In this country everyone knows about the men who have been put away by the government without trial, without access to legal process, and who are all treated as guilty terrorists just because someone in our government said they were. Such injustice always come home to roost at some time or other. We have already seen the way in which America is regarded with distaste, contempt or hatred throughout the world because of the insane actions of our paranoid representatives.

If it’s any comfort, and it shouldn’t be, we in the States are not alone in such contrived injustices. In Britain right now a campaign for justice for Helen Duncan is being waged in the media and on the Web. She was unjustly accused of a crime in 1944 and imprisoned without the ability to defend herself by a blatantly kangaroo court in England, land of free speech and liberty, rather like the propaganda reputation of the USA. But her ‘crime’ was a spiritual one. Let’s look at it.
