MUST WATCH / LISTEN — Bill Joslin interview – “Meditation: Deconstructing Nonsense” – #202 – Gnostic Media

This episode is about Meditation and is called Meditation: Deconstructing Nonsense. It’s being released on Thursday, June 19, 2014, and was recorded on Monday, June 16, 2014.
Bill Joslin at an early age developed a fascination with mind and awareness. Subsequently he spent 16 years studying Bonpo, Nyingma Buddhist and Taoist practices. He spent a year in Asia interviewing Buddhist monks in Laos, Cambodia, Nepal; Taoist practitioners in Indonesia, and Bonpo priests in Northwest Nepal, comparing practices as taught in the west with the original monasteries and traditions from which the teachings originated. Nine years ago, Bill was asked by a number of people to counsel them with mediation practices they were having difficulty with and not finding aid from their current teachers. From a sense of responsibility Bill then went through a process of questioning every aspect of meditative knowledge he had gained over those years, essentially applying critical thinking to spiritual practices. In short order the illusion of meditation, spiritual teachers, and philosophical frameworks dissolved and a concise, non-mystical view of mind, self and world emerged with simply clarity. Mediation and spiritual guru-ship is an ancient form of control, the residue of which we live with today.

U.S. nuclear workers suffer severe brain damage, teeth fall out while truth is buried
by J.D. Heyes

(NaturalNews) Workers at the federal government’s Hanford Site, a Department of Energy facility in Washington State that serves as a repository for spent nuclear power plant fuel rods, say their health has been adversely affected by what they say is toxic exposure to chemicals and radiation.
In an interview with a local NBC news team, truck driver Lonnie Poteet said he arrived outside the Hanford Site to deliver fuel rods and quickly began experiencing symptoms from exposure to chemical vapors. What he did not know, however, is that there had been a nuclear spill just hours before at the site.
“I was already burning from my glove line to my t-shirt line and the side of my face and I was already starting to lose a little bit of vision in my right eye,” Poteet told NBC Right Now.
He said everything happened very quickly.
‘They didn’t tell everyone’
On July 27, 2007, Poteet, who was a contracted worker, drove up to the site to deliver the fuel. At the the time, the firm CH2M HILL was managing the cleanup effort and failed to notify all workers about the spill.
According to the report, the spill happened around 2:10 a.m.; Poteet says he arrived at the fence line of the Hanford Site’s tank farm around 10:00 a.m.
“Very frustrated. When they told their crews that showed up that day to go to work to stay in because they had a potential spill, they held them back, but notified nobody else. They put me in [harm’s] way. Specifically they asked me to be there as late in the day as possible. They knew I was coming. Why didn’t they say something?” Poteet said.
He says he lives his life now as a recluse because of a myriad of health issues he must deal with related to the exposure. He has to wear sunglasses all the time due to vision loss in his right eye and because he is now sensitive to light. He has sharp pains in his head and they often cause him to twitch. And he says medication prevents him from collapsing in pain due to severe nerve and brain damage.
However, he says his biggest fear is not living long enough to watch his grandson, whom he cares for, grow up. He thinks that he could simply collapse one day and not wake up.
Now, he says he doesn’t want to see other workers go through the same thing.
“They’re going to be exposed to the same situation I am. That’s my concern for them. Nobody is going to do anything to stop it. I don’t care what they say in the papers. As long as there’s profit in what they’re doing and they get their bonuses on a decent time, that’s all they care about,” Poteet said.
Another worker, who was also interviewed by the NBC affiliate, told a similar story.
‘Toxic encephalopathy’
Lawrence Rouse, who spent almost 20 years working at Hanford’s most hazardous sites, said he was exposed to nuclear waste radiation and toxic chemicals a number of times.
The exposures likely led to the contraction of a deadly disease, and though he receives some compensation from the federal Department of Labor, it’s not even close to being enough when compared to how the illness has left him struggling.
“The disease that I have, toxic encephalopathy, I think that’s how it’s pronounced, from the time you’re diagnosed you normally, it depends on every person, you normally have ten to twelve years and you’re dead. You just end up, it eats your brain away,” said Rouse.
He said he was exposed to nuclear radiation around 10 times and that he was constantly exposed to chemical vapors. More often than not, he says, workers there did not wear sufficient protective gear.
“Anytime you went into a farm to do any kind of work you’d smell something. Sometimes it would be a little one. Sometimes it would almost bring you to your knees… [At the] SY [tank] farm, it would rain the chemical on you from the stack. That’s why we wore the baseball caps,” Rouse said.
The Department of Energy has routinely denied that there are dangers at the tank farm, Rouse said.
Nevertheless, the NBC affiliate reported, more Hanford workers are filing new claims for their illnesses, which they say they developed on site, all the time.

Staring at screens all day linked to changes in eye secretions

By Kathryn Doyle
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Office workers who spend long hours looking at computer screens have changes in their tear fluid similar to people with the disease known as dry eye, according to a study from Japan.
The protein MUC5AC, secreted by cells in the upper eyelid, makes up part of the normally occurring mucus layer, or “tear film,” that keeps the eye moist. But study participants with the most screen time had MUC5AC levels nearing those of people with diagnosed dry eye.
“To understand patients’ eye strain, which is one of major symptoms of dry eye disease, it is important that ophthalmologist pay attention to MUC5AC concentration in tears,” said Dr. Yuichi Uchino, an author of the new study.
Uchino is an ophthalmologist at the School of Medicine at Keio University in Tokyo.
“When we stare at computers, our blinking times decreased compared to reading a book at the table,” he told Reuters Health by email.
People staring at screens also tend to open their eyelids wider than while doing other tasks, and the extra exposed surface area in addition to infrequent blinking can accelerate tear evaporation and is associated with dry eye disease, he said.
Dry eye may be chronic for some but can be managed with over the counter or prescription eye drops.
Past research suggests that up to 5 million men and women over age 50 in the United States suffer from dry eye disease, the researchers write in their report. In Japan, tens of millions of people report some dry eye symptoms, often associated with computer work, they add.
The study team tested the tears from both eyes of 96 Japanese office workers, about two-thirds of them men, and measured how much of the total protein content of the tears was MUC5AC.
How to Treat Herpes Completely Naturally, Without Drugs

Jan 4, 2012
Herpes, both oral and genital, is not only embarrassing and painful, but it can also lead to more serious and life-threatening conditions later in life such as dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, it is estimated that more than 80 percent of adults in the United States have oral herpes, and that an estimated 50,000,000 people have genital herpes. If you want to stay or become free of herpes, you must learn how to treat herpes – completely naturally.
How to Treat Herpes | Solution for Cleansing Your Body of the Herpetic Virus
The traditional medical community addresses herpes by either treating the outward symptoms or trying to push the virus even deeper in the body so that outbreaks do not occur; both of these methods are problematic. The problem with treating the outward symptoms is that it does not correct the underlying problem – the herpes virus that is hiding out in the cells of the spinal ganglia. The problem associated with pushing the virus deeper into the body is that you will eventually have outbreaks when your immune system is low, and you are increasing your chances of developing dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease later in life.
