In this featured video, Visionary Artist Alex Grey addresses a gathering at TEDx Maui on 'Cosmic Creativity - How Art Evolves Consciousness' ! He starts with a little about his journey and how it all started for him following a sincere prayer to God which led him to taking LSD for this first time at a party, where he also met the love of his life, Allyson Grey.

The color grey brings the opposites together hence Alex chose to keep his last name Grey, after he went through, what he describes as a 'Spiritual Re-birth" following his LSD trip. :)

Just in case you haven't heard of Alex Grey, you must watch this video which will give you some idea about his Visionary Art and the Evolution of Consciousness through the exploration of Art.


This essential twenty minutes offers a journey through Alex’s art, distinguishing phase shifts of awareness and showing how visionary icons of interconnectedness are transformative.

Art is an echo of the creative force that birthed the galaxies. Creativity is a way that the Cosmos evolves and communicates with itself. The great uplifting of humanity beyond its self destruction is the redemptive mission of art.

How is it that the same plant which is used as medicine to heal many ailments and disorders is also classified as a harmful drug and made illegal ? This is a question not many are willing to ask as we find it easier to accept what we've been told, rather than questioning authority which impairs our right to freedom and curtails our ability to experiment with our consciousness using naturally found Entheogens to attain altered states and to heal. Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a well known American Neurosurgeon says that he was systematically misled about Weed and its potential medical benefits.

He writes further to elaborate his present stance on Marijuana in this article for CNN, titled "Why I Changed My Mind On Weed" ...

Over the last year, I have been working on a new documentary called "Weed." The title "Weed" may sound cavalier, but the content is not.




I traveled around the world to interview medical leaders, experts, growers and patients. I spoke candidly to them, asking tough questions. What I found was stunning.

Long before I began this project, I had steadily reviewed the scientific literature on medical marijuana from the United States and thought it was fairly unimpressive. Reading these papers five years ago, it was hard to make a case for medicinal marijuana. I even wrote about this in a TIME magazine article, back in 2009, titled "Why I would Vote No on Pot."
Well, I am here to apologize.

I apologize because I didn't look hard enough, until now. I didn't look far enough. I didn't review papers from smaller labs in other countries doing some remarkable research, and I was too dismissive of the loud chorus of legitimate patients whose symptoms improved on cannabis.

Instead, I lumped them with the high-visibility malingerers, just looking to get high. I mistakenly believed the Drug Enforcement Agency listed marijuana as a schedule 1 substance because of sound scientific proof. Surely, they must have quality reasoning as to why marijuana is in the category of the most dangerous drugs that have "no accepted medicinal use and a high potential for abuse."

They didn't have the science to support that claim, and I now know that when it comes to marijuana neither of those things are true. It doesn't have a high potential for abuse, and there are very legitimate medical applications. In fact, sometimes marijuana is the only thing that works. Take the case of Charlotte Figi, who I met in Colorado. She started having seizures soon after birth. By age 3, she was having 300 a week, despite being on seven different medications. Medical marijuana has calmed her brain, limiting her seizures to 2 or 3 per month.

I have seen more patients like Charlotte first hand, spent time with them and come to the realization that it is irresponsible not to provide the best care we can as a medical community, care that could involve marijuana.

We have been terribly and systematically misled for nearly 70 years in the United States, and I apologize for my own role in that.

I hope this article and upcoming documentary will help set the record straight.


On August 14, 1970, the Assistant Secretary of Health, Dr. Roger O. Egeberg wrote a letter recommending the plant, marijuana, be classified as a schedule 1 substance, and it has remained that way for nearly 45 years. My research started with a careful reading of that decades old letter. What I found was unsettling. Egeberg had carefully chosen his words:

"Since there is still a considerable void in our knowledge of the plant and effects of the active drug contained in it, our recommendation is that marijuana be retained within schedule 1 at least until the completion of certain studies now underway to resolve the issue."

Not because of sound science, but because of its absence, marijuana was classified as a schedule 1 substance. Again, the year was 1970. Egeberg mentions studies that are underway, but many were never completed. As my investigation continued, however, I realized Egeberg did in fact have important research already available to him, some of it from more than 25 years earlier.

In 1944, New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia commissioned research to be performed by the New York Academy of Science. Among their conclusions: they found marijuana did not lead to significant addiction in the medical sense of the word. They also did not find any evidence marijuana led to morphine, heroin or cocaine addiction.

We now know that while estimates vary, marijuana leads to dependence in around 9 to 10% of its adult users. By comparison, cocaine, a schedule 2 substance "with less abuse potential than schedule 1 drugs" hooks 20% of those who use it. Around 25% of heroin users become addicted.

The worst is tobacco, where the number is closer to 30% of smokers, many of whom go on to die because of their addiction.

There is clear evidence that in some people marijuana use can lead to withdrawal symptoms, including insomnia, anxiety and nausea. Even considering this, it is hard to make a case that it has a high potential for abuse. The physical symptoms of marijuana addiction are nothing like those of the other drugs I've mentioned. I have seen the withdrawal from alcohol, and it can be life threatening.

I do want to mention a concern that I think about as a father. Young, developing brains are likely more susceptible to harm from marijuana than adult brains. Some recent studies suggest that regular use in teenage years leads to a permanent decrease in IQ. Other research hints at a possible heightened risk of developing psychosis.

Much in the same way I wouldn't let my own children drink alcohol, I wouldn't permit marijuana until they are adults. If they are adamant about trying marijuana, I will urge them to wait until they're in their mid-20s when their brains are fully developed.


While investigating, I realized something else quite important. Medical marijuana is not new, and the medical community has been writing about it for a long time. There were in fact hundreds of journal articles, mostly documenting the benefits. Most of those papers, however, were written between the years 1840 and 1930. The papers described the use of medical marijuana to treat "neuralgia, convulsive disorders, emaciation," among other things.

A search through the U.S. National Library of Medicine this past year pulled up nearly 2,000 more recent papers. But the majority were research into the harm of marijuana, such as "Bad trip due to anticholinergic effect of cannabis," or "Cannabis induced pancreatitits" and "Marijuana use and risk of lung cancer."

In my quick running of the numbers, I calculated about 6% of the current U.S. marijuana studies investigate the benefits of medical marijuana. The rest are designed to investigate harm. That imbalance paints a highly distorted picture.

To do studies on marijuana in the United States today, you need two important things.

First of all, you need marijuana. And marijuana is illegal. You see the problem. Scientists can get research marijuana from a special farm in Mississippi, which is astonishingly located in the middle of the Ole Miss campus, but it is challenging. When I visited this year, there was no marijuana being grown.

The second thing you need is approval, and the scientists I interviewed kept reminding me how tedious that can be. While a cancer study may first be evaluated by the National Cancer Institute, or a pain study may go through the National Institute for Neurological Disorders, there is one more approval required for marijuana: NIDA, the National Institute on Drug Abuse. It is an organization that has a core mission of studying drug abuse, as opposed to benefit.

Stuck in the middle are the legitimate patients who depend on marijuana as a medicine, oftentimes as their only good option.

Keep in mind that up until 1943, marijuana was part of the United States drug pharmacopeia. One of the conditions for which it was prescribed was neuropathic pain. It is a miserable pain that's tough to treat. My own patients have described it as "lancinating, burning and a barrage of pins and needles." While marijuana has long been documented to be effective for this awful pain, the most common medications prescribed today come from the poppy plant, including morphine, oxycodone and dilaudid.

Here is the problem. Most of these medications don't work very well for this kind of pain, and tolerance is a real problem.

Most frightening to me is that someone dies in the United States every 19 minutes from a prescription drug overdose, mostly accidental. Every 19 minutes. It is a horrifying statistic. As much as I searched, I could not find a documented case of death from marijuana overdose.

It is perhaps no surprise then that 76% of physicians recently surveyed said they would approve the use of marijuana to help ease a woman's pain from breast cancer.

When marijuana became a schedule 1 substance, there was a request to fill a "void in our knowledge." In the United States, that has been challenging because of the infrastructure surrounding the study of an illegal substance, with a drug abuse organization at the heart of the approval process. And yet, despite the hurdles, we have made considerable progress that continues today.

Looking forward, I am especially intrigued by studies like those in Spain and Israel looking at the anti-cancer effects of marijuana and its components. I'm intrigued by the neuro-protective study by Raphael Meschoulam in Israel, and research in Israel and the United States on whether the drug might help alleviate symptoms of PTSD. I promise to do my part to help, genuinely and honestly, fill the remaining void in our knowledge.

Citizens in 20 states and the District of Columbia have now voted to approve marijuana for medical applications, and more states will be making that choice soon. As for Dr. Roger Egeberg, who wrote that letter in 1970, he passed away 16 years ago.

I wonder what he would think if he were alive today.

Article by Dr. Sanjay Gupta


"The cannabis experience has greatly improved my appreciation for art, a subject which I had never much appreciated before. The understanding of the intent of the artist which I can achieve when high sometimes carries over to when I'm down. This is one of many human frontiers which cannabis has helped me traverse."

The Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared into thin air while flying over the Gulf of Thailand on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. The mystery over the missing plane with 239 people on board (227 passengers and 12 crew members) has deepened as some of the relatives of the passengers reported to the media stating that when they tried reaching their family members who were on the plane, their mobile phones were ringing hours after the flight went missing, off the radar. There is something strange about the whole incident as it seems to hint at something otherworldly or supernatural at play. Not so long ago an Air France Flight 447 went missing after it entered an electromagnetic storm cloud of sorts ... and disappeared without a trace. It does sound like a case of Teleportation like in the Bermuda Triangle !

A few relatives said they were able to call the cellphones of their loved ones or find them on a Chinese instant messenger service called QQ that indicated that their phones were still somehow online.

A migrant worker in the room said that several other workers from his company were on the plane, including his brother-in-law. Among them, the QQ accounts of three still showed that they were online, he said Sunday afternoon.

Adding to the mystery, other relatives in the room said that when they dialed some passengers' numbers, they seemed to get ringing tones on the other side even though the calls were not picked up.

Here are some other facts concerning the whole incident which leave a lot of questions unanswered ...

• Fact #1: All Boeing 777 commercial jets are equipped with black box recorders that can survive any on-board explosion

No explosion from the plane itself can destroy the black box recorders. They are bomb-proof structures that hold digital recordings of cockpit conversations as well as detailed flight data and control surface data.

• Fact #2: All black box recorders transmit locator signals for at least 30 days after falling into the ocean

Yet the black box from this particular incident hasn't been detected at all. That's why investigators are having such trouble finding it. Normally, they only need to "home in" on the black box transmitter signal. But in this case, the absence of a signal means the black box itself -- an object designed to survive powerful explosions -- has either vanished, malfunctioned or been obliterated by some powerful force beyond the worst fears of aircraft design engineers.

• Fact #3: Many parts of destroyed aircraft are naturally bouyant and will float in water

In past cases of aircraft destroyed over the ocean or crashing into the ocean, debris has always been spotted floating on the surface of the water. That's because -- as you may recall from the safety briefing you've learned to ignore -- "your seat cushion may be used as a flotation device."

Yes, seat cushions float. So do many other non-metallic aircraft parts. If Flight 370 was brought down by an explosion of some sort, there would be massive debris floating on the ocean, and that debris would not be difficult to spot. The fact that it has not yet been spotted only adds to the mystery of how Flight 370 appears to have literally vanished from the face of the Earth.

• Fact #4: If a missile destroyed Flight 370, the missile would have left a radar signature

One theory currently circulating on the 'net is that a missile brought down the airliner, somehow blasting the aircraft and all its contents to "smithereens" -- which means very tiny pieces of matter that are undetectable as debris.

The problem with this theory is that there exists no known ground-to-air or air-to-air missile with such a capability. All known missiles generate tremendous debris when they explode on target. Both the missile and the debris produce very large radar signatures which would be easily visible to both military vessels and air traffic authorities.

• Fact #5: The location of the aircraft when it vanished is not a mystery

Air traffic controllers have full details of almost exactly where the aircraft was at the moment it vanished. They know the location, elevation and airspeed -- three pieces of information which can readily be used to estimate the likely location of debris.

Remember: air safety investigators are not stupid people. They've seen mid-air explosions before, and they know how debris falls. There is already a substantial data set of airline explosions and crashes from which investigators can make well-educated guesses about where debris should be found. And yet, even armed with all this experience and information, they remain totally baffled on what happened to Flight 370.

• Fact #6: If Flight 370 was hijacked, it would not have vanished from radar

Hijacking an airplane does not cause it to simply vanish from radar. Even if transponders are disabled on the aircraft, ground radar can still readily track the location of the aircraft using so-called "passive" radar (classic ground-based radar systems that emit a signal and monitor its reflection).

Thus, the theory that the flight was hijacked makes no sense whatsoever. When planes are hijacked, they do not magically vanish from radar.



Barbara Marciniak Channeling the Pleiadians on the Malaysian Airlines' Disappearance !


The possibility that the plane went through some kind of a space-time warp or wormhole is definitely not ruled out as it does remind one of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle where planes have known to experience similar anomalies and some have in fact disappeared without a trace. I feel some of these planes could have entered a wormhole of sorts to go into an alternate / parallel timeline. If this sounds like science fiction then we must gear up for the surprise of our lifetime as we come face to face with the truth which would then make this possibility more plausible.

Here is something interesting you might want to watch :)


Latest Update on Malaysia Airlines MH370 is that it was hijacked and taken to some place in the Indian Ocean, most likely the Diego Garcia base of the Unites States. A man called Philip Wood who managed to sneak in his iphone after being taken hostage sent a picture message to a friend. The message when later traced back pointed at a location in the Indian Ocean, exactly where the Diego Garcia base is.

What's even stranger is the connection between the Malaysia Airlines False Flag and Jacob Rothschild ... with the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines MH370, Jacob Rothschild Became the Sole Owner of the 'Freescale Semiconductors' Patent. Four days after the flight MH370 disappeared, the semiconductor patent was approved by the U.S. patent office patent and was divided in parts of 20% between five starters. One of the owners is the company itself, Freescale Semiconductor, Austin, Texas (USA), and the other four Chinese employees of the company: Peidong Wang, Zhijun Chen, Cheng and Li Ying Zhijong. The 4 Chinese employees were on the same plane MH370 which disappeared on March 8 ... Guess who owns Freescale Semiconductors ... Jacob Rothschild.

The image sent by Philip Wood with the text message is definitely the smoking gun in this case and proves the fact that Malaysia Airlines MH370 was in fact hijacked and then taken to the US Military Base Diego Garcia.

The picture below was sent by Philip Wood, an IBM employee from Texas with the following text ...

“I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.”


Strangely the blank black image labeled “1395192158752.jpg” contains the following metadata:

Dimensions: 240 x 320
Device Make: Apple
Device Model: iPhone 5
Color Space: RGB
Color Profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Focal Length: 4.12
Alpha Channel: No
Red Eye: No
F Number: 2.4
Exposure Program: 2
Exposure Time: 1/15


Someone managed to trace the location from where the message was sent by using a software on his computer. Here is how he did it ... posted on Steve Quayle's website ...

Hi Steve,

Re: the black/blank photo from the IBM tech on the lost Malaysian jet. The photo was taken inside a building just off the runways at Diego Garcia. I put the photo into my editing software, grabbed the GPS point and here it is. Try this: go to: itouchmap.com , choose #6, go to the bottom right box and input the info: -7 18 58.3 LATITUDE 72 25 35.6 LONGITUDE Click on: SHOW POINT Zoom in and you will see where the photo originated. Wow. You’ll probably recognize the heavy aircraft parked nearby. Image Via itouchmap.com:


If anyone still thinks this is just a conspiracy theory, you must read the facts behind the Malaysia Airlines MH017 crash which happened not too long after the hijacking of Malaysia Airlines MH370.

Human Origins and the true history of our planet has for long been concealed behind stories of creationism and intelligent design. Did we really evolve from Blue Green Algae ... How is it that we share 98.8% of our DNA with the chimpanzee yet are so far advanced than our distant cousins ... some of these questions can be answered if we retrace our origins ... as we are led to the great lands of Africa.

Were Homo Sapiens created by the Annunaki who came here to mine Gold and needed a slave race to work for them. Were they the ones who established the patriarchal system on Earth, with their kings and priests appointed as the ones in charge here ? Let's find out ... what Klaus Dona and Michael Tellinger have to say about our Hidden History and True Origins.


Hidden History of the Human Race A presentation by Klaus Dona


In the following video Michael Tellinger discusses a whole lot about our true origins in Africa, the Elohim or the Annunaki ... Who were the Nephilim or these Annunaki overlords who invaded Earth many years ago? Michael discusses the power of Sound and Acoustic Levitation used to build the Pyramids and other megalithic ancient monuments all around the world. He also proposes a new way of living, a new way out from this global enslavement ... No money system ... No Barter ... No Trade ! The following video is a must see for all ... please share this post with all your friends and contacts online.


Here is a short excerpt from an article called "Temples of the African Gods" by Michael Tellinger ...

"We live in an electromagnetic universe. Everything spins and vibrates. And because it spins and vibrates we can detect it and know its presence because everything has a frequency. Everything has a frequency from subatomic particles to planets, solar systems, galaxies, vortices. Even the entire universe has a spin motion.

Leading physicists like Nassim Haramein point out very beautifully how this all fits together and how they generate the energy and how they regenerate the twisting vortex motion energy. Everything spins and vibrates and because of that we can detect it.



This is how the electromagnetic universe is presented to us.

It is infinite in both directions. Everything you can imagine vibrates at its own specific frequency. Once you know its frequency you can affect the positive with the negative. This is understanding vibration fields. The amazing thing is out of this entire electromagnetic spectrum we can only see a little piece and a sliver of light what we call visible light over there. Everything else as far as we are concerned is invisible. There is not always physical evidence for the start of the universe. You don't always have to see it to believe it. How did the ancients respond to all this stuff they could not see? The ancients had a very keen understanding of this. They called it the third eye, the pineal gland. You will see the third eye echoing through all ancient cultures. Somehow they knew more about this psychic ability, this ESP of being able to feel, read and understand the other frequencies that are not necessarily visible to our eyes. There have been huge amounts of research and it is amazing when you realise how important the pineal gland is in our anatomy. And how this has been manipulated to control us, it becomes quite spectacular. Basically what the pineal gland is, is a frequency receptor like our eye, they pick up the frequency of the visible light and convert it into something that our brains understand. It picks up the other frequencies and converts it to understandable information. There seem to be some people who are awakening and using their ability to use the pineal gland.

Frequency equals energy: Ancient civilizations understood frequency and how to convert it into energy. Ancient civilizations and modern physics overlap very comfortably.

Sound and frequency are the common denominators of all religion. The Primordial Word, let their be light the sound of God that created the universe and all things in it. In Eastern philosophies, it is the primordial sound, the Aum that created all things. Sound is the primordial source of all things in the universe. This lays the foundation for nature's law, which is sometimes referred to as sacred geometry. Sacred in Greek means fixed.

We are dealing with fixed geometry as it is fixed by the divine creator and the primordial source of all things and we realize there is only one law of nature. And that is the law of nature.

Take for example) the six aspects of Aum. OM MA NI PAD ME HUM, the six sound frequencies. Suddenly in the symbol of Aum you see these beautiful shapes that actually are the representations of sound manifesting itself in physical form. This goes back to the 1700's with the plates and then Hans Jenny's research in the 60's and 70's you see some fantastic things that come to light. And that is sound manifesting itself in physical form. The six aspects of Aum are represented in sacred geometry. The six sounds represent the six days of creation. We are combining all this into the laws of nature and it starts to show us the source and origin of these things and it seems to come from sound. The number six is not just restricted to Hinduism and Christianity. Egyptian religion talks about the six aspects of the divine eye of Ra. The five primary Platonic shapes that give rise to all other matter and frequencies are inextricably linked to the six days of creation as first there was a void. All this fits together as the essence of God moves across the waters, across the Void."
