Rainbow Gathering
"We humans are more and better than we have been told we are."
The Rainbow Gathering has been going for a long time now. Maybe 20,000 gather each year on Forest Service land the first week of July.
It's Free.
It's not very planned, although there are core ideals and a lot of work to make it happen.
It's really hard to explain.
. . . {The best stuff is like that}

"When the Earth has been ravaged
and the animals are dying
a tribe of people from all races creeds and colors
will put their faith in deeds not words
to make the land green again.
They shall be known as
Warriors of the Rainbow
Protectors of the Environment."

Rainforest Action Network
"Rainforest Action Network (RAN) works to protect the Earth's rainforests and support the rights of their inhabitants through education, grassroots organizing and non-violent direct action."

Ram Dass (Richard Alpert)
A Harvard professor who, along with Tim Leary, was kicked out for experimenting with LSD. Richard soon journeyed to India where he found similar substances had long been used in spiritual practices. The knowledge he gained helped him, with friends, to write "Be Here Now", still the most important beginners' guidebook to psychedelics and consciousness.
"As long as you have certain desires about how it ought to be you can't see how it is."
"The art of using the experiences of life as a vehicle to awaken is to use them to bring you close to that calm center and that quietness. ...
You don’t complete your inner work before you do your outer work. ...
The conscious thing is the simultaneous doing of both." More quotes (archived)

"Everything extant is a field of sacred energy that we can sense and intuit. Moreover, we humans can project our energy by focusing our attention in the desired direction...where attention goes, energy flows...influencing other energy systems and increasing the pace of coincidences in our lives." quote from website

Wilhelm Reich
Wilhelm Reich was Sigmund Freud's star student until they parted over an issue that would define Reich's career - the independent existence of sexual energy as a basic force of the universe. He later named Orgone what others have called Chi, Prana, Shakti, animal magnetism and many other names through time.
Reich found that human suffering, at root, stems from our avoidance of this life energy, which is blocked in the human body. Many of the most effective therapies today, such as Bio - energetics, Primal Therapy, ReBirthing, and some of the therapies taught by Osho have their roots in Wilhelm Reich.
The extreme radicalness of his discoveries, the perceived financial danger to established practices of medicine, and Reich's own combative nature caused the FDA to attack Reich, jail him in 1957, and burn his books.
Reich may well be the most important little known scientist of the twentieth century.
"The basic evasion of the essential is the problem of man ...right close by pulsating life is all around. ... The keys are cemented into the mechanical rigidity of your body and soul."
from: "The Murder Of Christ"

Relics
If an enlightened being is attuned to the cosmos (or "one with God" or however it is described) then very powerful pure energy surrounds them, energy that is able to alter the nature of things close to the person, to tune those things also. This is demonstrated by the veneration of relics of holy people around the world and the special healing (and other) powers believed to belong to these relics. There are a number of possible relics of the life and death of Jesus:
The Shroud of Turin (Sindone)
Well known burial cloth that appears to show the image of Jesus. There is a great amount of evidence that it is real, and Carbon 14 tests that seem to show it is a fake.
A good intro to the evidence: www.shroud2000.com/
Scientific papers: www.shroud.com/papers.htm
Sudarium of Oviedo
Less well known than the Shroud, the Sudarium is thought to be the cloth that was placed on the face of Jesus while he was carried to the tomb, in keeping with Jewish custom. The pattern of blood stains, blood type, and pollen all match the Shroud of Turin, yet the Sudarium has been in Oviedo, Spain since the 7th century, making it much older than the Carbon dating result for the Shroud. The Sudarium cloth was removed before burial and does not contain a photo - like image.
Article: historicaljesusquest.com/sudarium.htm
Article: www.shroud.com/guscin.htm

The Veil of Veronica (Veronice)
Claimed to be the cloth Jesus used to wipe his face on the road to Calvary, contains an image of Jesus, but it is difficult to see in the photo.
Veil: www.visionsofjesuschrist.com/weeping57 (archived site, no photos)
Another, somewhat conflicting, Veronica article: hesemann.watchers.ca (archived site with photos)
Holy Grail
The much sought after cup from the Last Supper, brought to France and then Britain by Joseph of Arimathea (Artemus), Jesus' uncle, from whom He had borrowed the table service.
Holy Grail link list
Spear Longinus (Spear of Destiny)
Said to be the spear that pierced Christ's side at the Crucifixion, an act of mercy. This Roman spearhead has been passed through the hands of many European leaders and was thought by them to have great power.
Spear Article: www.geocities.com/Heartland/8303/spear.htm
Tunique Inconsutilis (Robe of Christ)
There are several 'robes', all though the claims may not conflict. The custom was to wear several garments and it is chilly in Israel in spring.
Robe Article: hesemann.watchers.ca/ (archived site)
Titulus Crucis

Titulus Crucis: hesemann.watchers.ca/ (another archived site)
Crown of Thorns
Quite a few claimed fragments of the Crown are scattered about.
Crown Article: www.newadvent.org/

Cross of Jesus
Again, there are a lot of pieces of the "true cross" around - including one in the Pope's famous ring. It is easier to accept the saving of small items, such as the Shroud or Robe, than the keeping of a heavy beam of wood that, after all, the Romans would likely want to use again.
Anyway, here's a Cross article: www.templarhistory.com/cross.html
It may be meaningful that all these relics claim to date from the Crucifixion, not Jesus' life and teaching. No hair or footprints, stuff like the Buddha left.
Some other things:
Ark of the Covenant
A simple storage box or a powerful Alien weapon, the Ark spurs a great deal of speculation.

Lia Fail Stone (Stone of Destiny)
Legend claims this was the stone upon which Jacob laid his head in the Bible. It found it's way to Scotland where it became part of the throne upon which all Scottish and then English rulers were crowned. The famous Blarney stone is a chip off this old block.

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification micro-chips)
Information gathering technologies and protecting privacy.
Why your supermarket wants so much for you to use that special "loyalty" card. The main website for supermarket cards is www.nocards.org, although it seems weak on how, with statistical modeling, businesses can trap people into doing and buying what they would not normally. Guess the math is hard to follow but that only makes it more dangerous.
Before we have recognized how much information we already reveal (and how it can be used) 'they' have developed tiny radio transmitter chips (RFID) that can be embedded in any product, such as clothing. These chips are claimed to prevent shoplifting and monitor inventory. They are the size of a pinhead and continue to function after the purchase connects them with our credit card number, allowing lots more data to be gathered on our habit patterns where ever we go. Do we really want "interactive televisions that select commercials based on the contents of a home's refrigerator"?

Royal Raymond Rife
Resonant Frequency Therapy
In the 1930's Dr. Rife developed a device that "through the process of electrical resonance, had the ability to destroy or devitalize specific cells and microorganisms." quote from website This device was shown useful in curing many diseases. Then, as a result of concentrated attacks by representatives of the AMA, it was lost.
Rife has only recently been researched in depth and new material is being found frequently. He could be one of the most important medical inventors of the twentieth century, but his work is strongly opposed by the medical establishment now, as it was during his lifetime.
Our sister website features a good introduction to Rife: unusualscience.com/Royal-Raymond-Rife.htm
Source list of Rife information: Rife.org/.
Rife Article: www.lauralee.com/bare.htm
Royal Rife invented a high power microscope that could look at living tissue:
"What he saw convinced him that germs could be not the cause, but the result of disease; that, depending on its state, the body could convert a harmless bacterium into a lethal pathogen; that such pathogens could be instantly killed, each by a specific frequency of light"
Quote from article: www.christopherbird.org (archived)
Dr Bare has developed a similar device that produces harmonic frequencies of radio, light, sound, and plasma that seem to specifically attack diseases.
Website: www.rifetechnology.com/ (archived)
A mile long suspension bridge nicknamed Galloping Gertie in Washington State was destroyed in 1940 by wind harmonics. This may be a similar phenomenon to that used by Rife to destroy bacteria (and a cool website, regardless).
One of the greatest innovators of our time, Rife was harshly attacked by the medical community, as was Wilhelm Reich (see listing above). Reich chose to fight and died in prison, Rife withdrew and spent the remainder of his life a broken man.

The Big Thicket, a region of East Texas where ghost lights, wild ape - men, and other paranormal phenomena are common.
"The sightings of these paranormal phenomena are associated with strong fluxes in the earth’s electromagnetic field and possibly with solar magnetic storms. The weird energy fields involved in the sightings have also been shown to have bizarre effects on the human mind. It is possible that they temporarily open up the mind’s psychic dimension?" quote from website

Jane Roberts
Channeled a being named Seth. The resulting information, carefully transcribed by Jane's husband, Robert F Butts, is an extraordinary glimpse into the deeper levels of personality.
Seth said he was an oversoul - a being outside our reality - and that Jane was an aspect of him. Other "reincarnations" were different aspects, like a gem appears differently when seen from different angles yet still is the same gem. These aspects each were independent yet each was ultimately the same being, a little like the different roles we assume on different days. What each aspect learned could be drawn on by the others.
Seth revealed that he also was an aspect of what he called Seth 2, an oversoul of oversouls that connected him to others on his level. This was a being of great breadth that had difficulty narrowing himself to communicate with humans. Seth 2 was able to explain that he was a conscious being that transmitted massive amounts of energy to our level.
The oversoul concept can be extended to a Seth 3 of which Seth 2 is an aspect, Seth 4, and onward. This can work into the Gaia / Pan concept, ultimately to include all creation.
Quote: "There is a resistance here on your part, a resistance to the kind of material that I am giving you this evening. A rather stubborn resistance that has its roots in your childhood in this life. The resistance is allowing you to cheat yourself in more areas than one."

Roswell UFO Crash
The Air Force base in Roswell, New Mexico was, in 1947, the home of America's only bomber squadron equipped with nuclear weapons. In the summer of that year the base announced that they had recovered a crashed "Flying Disc" - an alien (ET) aircraft. This announcement was quickly withdrawn but the legend had been born.
Stanton Friedman One of the most careful UFO investigators, has documented a large number of witnesses who saw the craft or the bodies of those inside. His books: "Top Secret Majic" and "Crash at Corona: The U.S. Military Retrieval and Cover-Up of a UFO" (Roswell) are classic.
