News of the ‘miracle’ spread around the world with lightning speed.
A Jewish fish-cutter in New York was busy slaughtering a batch of carp when one of them started shouting apocalyptic warnings to him in Hebrew. ‘The fish shouted that everyone needed to account for themselves because the end is near,’ says Zalmen Rosen, the fish-cutter.
The fish told Zalmen to pray and study the Torah, before identifying itself as the soul of a local man who had died the previous year.
After a moment of stunned silence all hell broke loose. Mr Rosen’s co-worker Louis Nivelo was convinced the talking fish was the work of Satan, and ran around screaming: ‘It’s the devil! The devil is here!’ before collapsing into a pile of packing crates.
Zalmen panicked and tried to kill the fish with a machete-sized knife. But the carp bucked so wildly that he succeeded only in slicing a huge gash in his own thumb, and had to be rushed to hospital.
The fish flopped off the counter – still muttering in Hebrew — and was butchered by Louis Nivelo.
Word quickly spread that a miracle had occurred in New York. It sparked a heated debate around the world. Was it a genuine miracle or just the ramblings of two rather fevered imaginations? After all, to those brought up with biblical tales of Moses parting the Red Sea, the story of a talking fish hardly counts as a miracle.
Would God really reveal His presence and deliver his prophesies through a fish destined for the freezer? It seems unlikely, but many think God is choosing to reveal His presence with increasingly surreal miracles tailored for the media age.

The Third Man Theory of Otherworldly Encounters
By Nancy J. White / Associated Press
Charles Lindbergh felt it.
During that first solo, non-stop transatlantic flight in 1927, the aviator, flying just above the ocean, was desperately struggling to stay awake. Twenty-two hours into the trip, he became aware of vague forms aboard the Spirit of St. Louis. They offered reassurance and discussed navigational problems.
They stayed with him until he spotted the Irish coast, and Paris was within reach.
An avalanche in the Canadian Rockies swept climber James Sevigny 600 metres, breaking his back, scapula, arm, nose, teeth and tearing ligaments in both knees. When he regained consciousness, he saw his climbing companion was dead. He laid next to him to die.
But an invisible being urged him to survive, telling him what to do. The presence stayed with him while he painfully made his way to camp, where skiers found him.
On Sept. 11, 2001, overcome by smoke in a stairwell of the World Trade Center's south tower, money market broker Ron DiFrancesco joined others lying on the concrete floor, some slipping into unconsciousness.
"Get up!" a voice ordered DiFrancesco, who sensed a physical presence encouraging him. Descending the stairs again, he was blocked by fire. The being led him to dash through the flames. He raced down to the plaza; then the tower collapsed. But he survived, one of only four people to escape from above the 81st floor.
Some believe it's a guardian angel. Others say it's the brain's way of coping under great duress. Whichever, the experiences are eerily similar: the sense of a presence that encourages, advises and even leads a person out of peril.

Woman Loses Weight After Imaginary Surgery
By Richard Smith / The Mirror
A mum has lost four stone after being hypnotised into believing she has a gastric stomach band.
A therapist convinced Marion Corns, 35, she had had surgery to fit the band by talking her through the procedure while in a trance.
Hospital smells were even pumped into the room to boost the effect.
Housewife Marion, who has slimmed from 15st 6lb to 11st 7lb, said: “Bizarrely I can even ‘remember’ being wheeled into theatre, the clink of the surgeon’s knife and smell of the anaesthetic.”
She spent £780 on five sessions with a therapist at the Elite Clinic in Marbella after her weight ballooned despite trying numerous diet aids.

The Science Behind 2012
Interview with Gregg Braden by Laurie Nadel, Ph.D.
If you are curious to know if there is any science behind the prophecies of 2012, scientist and New York Times best-selling author Gregg Braden has the information that will put it into real-time perspective. Geological time, that is.
After 22 years of scientific research, Braden’s new book Fractal Time explains why 2012 marks the end of a 5,125-year cycle.
Did you know that the Earth is presently moving across the equator of the Milky Way? When we talk about the changes that are coming up in 2012, some of those visible changes here on Earth are apparently in response to the astronomical changes that are being created by the Earth’s crossing of the Equator of the Milky Way.
In an interview with Dr. Laurie Nadel, Gregg Braden talks about the Mayan prophecies of 2012 and what they mean to you.

Does Puberty Cause Poltergeists?
By Zeeya Merali,
New Scientist
The sight of small blonde girls watching television is guaranteed to strike fear into the heart of anyone who has watched the movie Poltergeist.
We're right to be terrified, say physicists. Children generate poltergeist activity by channelling energy into the quantum mechanical vacuum.
Pierro Brovetto, whose last known address was the Instituto Fisica Superiore, in Cagliari, Italy and his colleague Vera Maxia wanted to explain the origin of poltergeist phenomena, characterised by objects flying around the room "of their own accord".
The researchers note that poltergeist encounters have been reported around the world and across different cultures, but tend to have one thing in common. "Poltergeist disturbances often occur in the neighbourhood of a pubescent child or a young woman," the authors note in their paper.

Can Hypnosis Help You to Astral Travel?
By Steve G. Jones, M.Ed., Clinical Hypnotherapist
Creator of Astral Travel Now
Are you living the life of your dreams? I bet that’s a question that’s probably been asked to you by both yourself and others at least a thousand times in your life. Well I’m here to ask you a different question.
How would you like to live life within your dreams?
How would you like to be able to develop the capability to effectively part from your body and travel to another world where time, space, gravity and many other "laws" that exist in the 3rd dimension can no longer limit you?
Most people think this is only possible while dreaming. But I assure you, this is much different than having a mere dream.
Let me save you the trouble of trying to figure out exactly what I'm talking about. It's an age old experience of spiritual separation and voyage known as Astral Projection in which the Astral body or spirit separates itself from the physical body temporarily and operates on its own.

Modern Pied Piper Cheats Death
By Steve Hartman / CBS News
Every time 70-year-old Andy Mackie draws a breath, it's music to his ears - whether there's a harmonica there or not. As CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman reports, Mackie's just glad to be alive.
Mackie jokes, "I guess they don't need a harmonica player in heaven yet."
Mackie, a Scottish-born retired horse trainer, lives in a camper in northwest Washington state - he lives there, even though technically -- medically -- he should have died long ago.
After his ninth heart surgery, Mackie's doctors had him on 15 different medicines. But the side effects made life miserable. So one day he quit taking all 15 and decided to spend his final days doing something he always wanted to do.
He used the money he would have spent on the prescriptions to give away 300 harmonicas, with lessons included. "I really thought it was the last thing I could ever do," he says.

Will Positive Thinking Save the Economy?
By Tracy R Twyman
So Barack Obama has apparently been reading a book called Animal Spirits by Robert Shiller, about how human psychology affects economics. And according to a propaganda piece from the Financial Times, this book has inspired Obama to approach the economic issues wholly psychologically. Just as The Secret teaches that you can create personal wealth and success just by thinking positively, Obama is going to try to do the same thing on a macroeconomic scale.
Of course, as I wrote in my book Solomon’s Treasure, the value of money, and thus the health of an economy, does indeed rest solely on people’s belief in it. This is true even more so now that our money is pure fiat currency, with no precious metal backing it, and no direct relationship to the value of gold. I compared the modern fiat monetary system with the process of alchemy. Turning lead into gold is like turning paper into money, and the Universal Agent or Philosopher’s Stone that makes that transformation possible is human belief. It works both in the economy as a whole, and in one’s personal finances as well, as The Secret purports.
But anyone who has ever tried to utilize The Secret in their personal life will tell you that it’s not so simple. Positive thinking helps power the actions you take to solve your economic problems, and improves your likelihood of success. But just sitting around meditating on wealth does not manifest it out of thin air, and it is suicidal to ignore major economic problems in your life, hoping that they will go away if you pretend they aren’t there.
The same holds true for our economy as a whole. The President, Bernake, and Geithner are trying to reinflate the bubble that this fake economy has been riding on for decades, with the belief that, if we can just get the consumer confidence index up, people will buy more stuff, and everything can get going again. People will start buying cars and homes and going on vacation and everything else, if he can just inspire them to feel good about the economy. So Obama, Bernake and Geither have now decided to just “declare”, by fiat, that the economic recovery has begun. As the FT article states:
Since mid-March President Barack Obama and his team have mounted a sophisticated effort to brighten those “ideas and feelings”, reassuring the nation with “glimmers of hope across the economy” and the assertion that “we’re starting to see progress”.

Your Mind is the Best Weapon Against Any Flu
By Cathy Sherman / Source: Natural News
This year's flu of the year has made its appearance and with it, media buzz about vaccines, normal treatments, such as hand washing, and so on. Most "experts" have neglected one basic, free, non-invasive, yet therapeutic modality: mind over flu matter.
Metaphysical healer Louise L. Hay says that the mental cause of influenza is "Response to mass negativity and beliefs; fear; and belief in statistics." This is quite interesting in light of the media's use of all three: statistics and mass negativity in order to create fear. For those susceptible to such fears, any flu strain would find a welcoming home.

Advanced Trance Techniques
By Steve G. Jones,
Clinical Hypnotherapist
Better Living With Hypnosis
As I sit here in my office preparing notes for a hypnotherapy training DVD, I am reminded of some of the more challenging aspects of hypnosis. Sometimes hypnotherapists are asked to work with clients who are highly resistant to hypnosis. Almost everyone who enters a hypnotherapist's office is willing to be hypnotized, but for some it is only a mild trance state whereas for others it is a much more "profound" experience.
While it is absolutely true that even a mild trance will produce excellent results, a deeper trance can be more enjoyable for the client. It is therefore up to the hypnotherapist to discover which method works best for a particular client.
Some clients go very deeply into trance with a basic relaxation induction. This is a series of words designed to progressively relax different parts of the body until all parts are relaxed and the client is drifting in a sea of tranquility.
This is the theory at least, but some clients require an entirely different approach to unwind. Some clients are so analytical or nervous that they pay attention to every word the hypnotherapist is saying in an attempt to pick the structure of the session apart. Often these clients will remark at the end of a session something such as, "I don't think I was hypnotized, I heard every word you said."

We Will All Be Telepathic in 25 Years
By Mukul Sharma
Source: Times of India
Does telepathy exist? The majority of mainstream scientists believe that the paranormal acquisition of information concerning the thoughts, feelings or activity of another person is a lot of poppycock.
But it doesn't really matter because the majority of mainstream scientists also believe telepathy's going to exist in the future, thanks to technology.
According to one World Future Society forecast, wireless technology will be incorporated into our thought processing by 2030.
In the next 25 years, we'll learn how to augment our 100 trillion relatively slow inter-neuronal connections with high-speed virtual connections via nanorobotics.

You Can Choose to Be Rich or Not
By Patric Chan
Creator of Success Trace Private Membership
Look at me. Who am I? I started just like YOU.
I'm just an 'ordinary' 25-year old but I have somehow achieved some extraordinary results in my life.
I didn't have anything when I got started except my mindset and an unshakable attitude to be financially rich. That's all. If I need to obtain something, I'll find a way to get there – I don't just sit around complaining why I can't get there.
One of the men that has impacted my life is Anthony Robbins. In case you don't know, Tony Robbins' seminars are not cheap. But because I knew I needed it, I managed to find a way to get a ticket to his seminar.
No, I didn't beg for money, use sympathy to ask for a free ticket, rob a bank and so on. I EARNED IT. I started working a part time job and tried to increase my sales commission from the company I worked with at that time.
But still, I didn't have sufficient money to pay for the ticket. During that time, I had asked for installment payments and luckily, my request was accepted. But guess what?
Somehow, by end of the first month, I managed to make enough money to pay for the whole program just because I change my mindset, understood how to attract money and to take action towards achieving that.
The rest is history and here I am, helping thousands of people to be successful today. I've authored books, spoken at seminars, consulted clients and etc.
What's the lesson here?
No, it's not that I'm smart. The lesson is, THINK DIFFERENTLY.
Think how you can afford it, NOT how 'I can't afford it'.

Imagine that you could rewind the clock 20 years. It's 1989. Madonna is topping the pop charts, and TV sets are tuned to "Cheers" and "Murphy Brown." Widespread Internet use is just a pipe dream, and Sugar Ray Leonard and Joe Montana are on recent covers of Sports Illustrated.
But most important, you're 20 years younger. How do you feel? Well, if you're at all like the subjects in a provocative experiment by Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer, you actually feel as if your body clock has been turned back two decades.
Langer did a study like this with a group of elderly men some years ago, retrofitting an isolated old New England hotel so that every visible sign said it was 20 years earlier. The men—in their late 70s and early 80s—were told not to reminisce about the past, but to actually act as if they had traveled back in time. The idea was to see if changing the men's mindset about their own age might lead to actual changes in health and fitness.
Langer's findings were stunning: After just one week, the men in the experimental group (compared with controls of the same age) had more joint flexibility, increased dexterity and less arthritis in their hands.
Their mental acuity had risen measurably, and they had improved gait and posture. Outsiders who were shown the men's photographs judged them to be significantly younger than the controls. In other words, the aging process had in some measure been reversed.

The Hidden Meanings of Dreams
By Lee Dye / Source: ABC News
Here's the scene: You wake up after dreaming about a horrible plane crash, and you're scheduled to board an aircraft later in the day for a long-awaited trip. Will that nightmare have any effect on whether you continue with your plans?
Possibly, according to a new multi-cultural study involving nearly 1,100 people around the world. You may not cancel your trip, but your dream will probably weigh as heavily on your thoughts as if there had been a real plane crash that day, not just a dream, according to the study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
The study suggests that humans from a wide range of cultures believe their dreams are a window into the inner workings of the mind and that they may even influence our activities while we're awake. Dreams are serious stuff.
