hmmm... another good friend has left us; only realised it ba minute ago, searching his great photos on flickr but, there is left only In Memoriam: russell.tomlin

Tomlin was Professor emeritus in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Oregon. He worked in the area of language and cognition with an emphasis in the roles of attention and memory in language production. He has also worked in the areas of language typology, functionalism and functional theory in linguistics, and second language acquisition.

I met Russ on Stumbleupon, when it was the good old days.
@Aline de Marseille, you might remember him... he was such a soul and, a gifted #photograher.

In the fields of medicine and neurology, a fascinating phenomenon is capturing the attention of researchers and healthcare professionals. It's called "terminal lucidity," an unusual state in which patients in the final stages of life appear to regain consciousness and reactivate their cognitive abilities shortly before their passing. While this phenomenon remains largely mysterious, it raises intriguing questions about the nature of consciousness, brain biology, and survival mechanisms. #weird #death #science https://activite-paranormale.net/news/read/18765/terminal-lucidity-when-consciousness-resurfaces-approaching-death

Today, we have an extraordinary guest who has spent a lifetime journeying through esoteric realms, quantum physics, and the ultimate mystery of life itself—Anthony Peake. You won't want to miss this, so stick around till the end, and please hit that "Subscribe" button to stay updated on future episodes!

As a young boy in 1966, Anthony Peake's curiosity knew no bounds. Unlike his peers engrossed in the #world of Batman and Superman, Anthony found himself irresistibly drawn to the arcane and the mystical. It all started when he stumbled upon a book called "The Sky People" by Brinsley Le Poer Trench. From that point, he delved into works like "Man #Myth and #Magic," "Project Trojan Horse" by John Keel, and Jacques Vallee’s "Passport to Magonia." This ignited an insatiable appetite to explore the unknown, making him a lifelong learner who wanted to know everything about everything.

His educational journey was equally diverse. At university, Anthony selected a plethora of subjects to feed his ever-expanding curiosity—sociology of religion, theory of language development, and even the art of the Italian Renaissance. But life had different plans, steering him into a career in management, where his intellectual pursuits took a back seat but never really left him.

Fast forward to the year 2000, a twist of fate enabled him to take a sabbatical. Seizing the #moment, he channeled decades of research and curiosity into writing a book. After one grueling yet fulfilling year, he emerged with the manuscript of "Cheating the Ferryman," a compelling blend of quantum physics, neurology, #ancient myths, altered states of #consciousness, and the enigma of death. While it took five more years and a significant re-write for the book to finally hit the shelves under a new title, "Is There #Life After #Death – The Extraordinary Science of What Happens When We #Die," it was well worth the wait.

Anthony’s groundbreaking work caught the eye of experts. With the help of Professor Bruce Greyson, an article based on his "Cheating the Ferryman" hypothesis was published in the esteemed Journal of Near-Death Studies. From there, it's been a whirlwind of recognition and thought leadership, changing our understanding of life and what comes after.

So, what drives this incredible man? How does he make sense of the mysteries that baffle most of us? To find out, tune into today's conversation with Anthony Peake.

DON'T BELIEVE US, #RESEARCH IT #YOURSELVES. BE #CAREFUL WHEN YOU #GOD BLESS SOMEONE OR SAY SO CALLED BLESSING CAUSE YOU COULD BE PUTTING A #SPELL OF #DEATH ON THAT ONE YOU BLESS. GO AND CHECK THE #ETYMOLOGY AND ORIGINS OF THE #WORD BLESS OR #BLESSINGS.
enter image description here
#bless (v.)
Middle English blessen, from Old English bletsian, bledsian, Northumbrian bloedsian "to consecrate by a religious rite, make holy, give thanks," from Proto-Germanic *blodison

"hallow with blood, mark with blood," from *blotham "blood" (see blood (n.)). Originally a blood sprinkling on pagan altars.

This word was chosen in Old English bibles to translate Latin benedicere and Greek eulogein, both of which have a ground sense of "to speak well of, to praise," but were used in Scripture to translate Hebrew brk "to bend (the knee), worship, praise, invoke blessings." L.R. Palmer ("The Latin Language") writes, "There is nothing surprising in the semantic development of a word denoting originally a special ritual act into the more generalized meanings to 'sacrifice,' 'worship,' 'bless,' " and he compares Latin immolare (see immolate).

The meaning shifted in late Old English toward "pronounce or make happy, prosperous, or fortunate" by resemblance to unrelated bliss. The meaning "invoke or pronounce God's blessing upon" is from early 14c. No cognates in other languages. Related: Blessed; blessing.

#blessed (adj.)
late 12c., "supremely happy," also "consecrated, holy" (c. 1200), past-participle adjective from bless (v.). Reversed or ironic sense of "cursed, damned" is recorded from 1806. Related: Blessedly; blessedness.

#blessing (n.)
Middle English blessinge, from Old English bletsunga, bledsunge, "divine grace; protecting influence (of a deity, saint); state of spiritual well-being or joy;" also of a sanction or benediction of the Pope, a priest, etc.; verbal noun from bless. The meaning "a gift from God, that which gives temporal or spiritual benefit" is from mid-14c. In the sense of "religious invocation before a meal" it is recorded from 1738. Phrase blessing in disguise is recorded from 1746.

A quotation from Cicero

Therefore, when the young die I am reminded of a strong flame extinguished by a torrent; but when old men die it is as if a fire had gone out without the use of force and of its own accord, after the fuel had been consumed; and, just as apples when they are green are with difficulty plucked from the tree, but when ripe and mellow fall of themselves, so, with the young, death comes as a result of force, while with the old it is the result of ripeness. To me, indeed, the thought of this “ripeness” for death is so pleasant, that the nearer I approach death the more I feel like one who is in sight of land at last and is about to anchor in his home port after a long voyage.

[Itaque adulescentes mihi mori sic videntur, ut cum aquae multitudine flammae vis opprimitur, senes autem sic, ut cum sua sponte nulla adhibita vi consumptus ignis exstinguitur; et quasi poma ex arboribus, cruda si sunt, vix evelluntur, si matura et cocta, decidunt, sic vitam adulescentibus vis aufert, senibus maturitas; quae quidem mihi tam iucunda est, ut, quo propius ad mortem accedam, quasi terram videre videar aliquandoque in portum ex longa navigatione esse venturus.]

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
De Senectute [Cato Maior; On Old Age], ch. 19 / sec. 71 (44 BC) [tr. Falconer (1923)]

The AI #attack on #humanity has begun: With books about #mushrooms on Amazon, it is trying to poison people.

Leon Frey, a foraging guide and field mycologist at Cornwall-based Family Foraging Kitchen, which organises foraging field trips, said the samples he had seen contained serious flaws such as referring to “smell and #taste” as an identifying feature. “This seems to encourage #tasting as a method of #identification. This should absolutely not be the case,” he said.

Some wild mushrooms, like the highly poisonous #death cap, which can be mistaken for edible varieties, are #toxic.

#Bharani #Nakshatra (Cherishing, supporting, & nurturing) (13°20′ – 26°40′ Aries)

In modern astronomy, Bharani nakshatra comprises three stars in the constellation of Aries: 35-Arietes, 39-Arietes, and 41-Arietes. Bharani is an extremely hot star, containing a tremendous amount of #fire #energy. In the #Vedic tradition, there are several qualities of the fire element, and Bharani is the sacred quality that is initially present when fire is first ignited.Those born under this star have the potential to rule due to their fire-burning energy. Bharani is extreme in nature,exploring any direction it chooses, either puritanical or sinful. Therefore, those born under this star oscillate between opposite ends of the spectrums.

Bharani is the foundation of Venusian energy among the #nakshatras, giving it tremendous #occult #knowledge.The main symbol for this star is the #yoni or female sexual organs, which signify creativity, sexuality and the cycle of #birth and #death. Just like the womb, Bharani nakshatra is a sacred place of nurturing and growth with the power to quickly manifest. Bharani natives have a strong character and can withstand the transformations of life. Their naive exuberance enables them to learn and gather information, but it may distract them from finishing what they begin.This nakshatra is one of the most enthusiastic and eager, yet can be challenging to understand.

Sacred Energy Vortex
Nalladai Sri Agneeswarar Temple

The temple in India that resonates with the Bharani nakshatra is located in a village called Mayiladuthurai in Tamil Nadu, India. It is called as "Sri Agneeswarar" temple referring to a form of Lord Shiva "Sri" is a mantra giving respect and good fortune and "Agneeswarar" means Lord of fire. People born under the Bharani star should visit this sacred energy vortex during their lifetime.

Incredible blessings come to those people born under Bharani who perform a fire ritual at the Bharani energy vortex of Nalladai Sri Agneeswarar Temple. The Siddhas say that if the fire ritual is conducted without the assistance of matchstick, but started instead with pure pipal wood, the person would be able to gain the divine blessings. This type of fire is known as Bharani Arani as it originates from the world of the Fire God.

Saint Mirugandu conducted a fire ritual on Bharani nakshatra day and formed this sacred fire of Bharani Arani. The ashes of this fire, along with the silk clothes of the King were presented to Sri Agneeswarar at this sacred shrine. It is said that if a fire ritual is performed on Bharani star day, with the grace of the guru, benefic effects will manifest a thousand fold. This will invoke the divine blessings of Goddess Lakshmi.

People born under all stars would gain the maximum benefits of wealth and power by conducting a fire ritual here on the Bharani star day, but Bharani natives in particular, could ignite their capacity to rule.
