The Best Medicinal Herb You Can Take
Six reasons to add Cayenne to your diet."If you master only one herb in your life, master cayenne pepper. It is more powerful than anything else." Dr. Richard Shulze.Cayenne is a medicinal and nutritional herb. Many herbalists believe Cayenne is the most useful and valuable herb in the herb kingdom. Cayenne has been used for centuries as a medicine.1. Cayenne supplies nutrients and is considered a Superfood. It is a very high source of vitamin A, C and B-Complexes.It is also rich in calcium and potassium.2. Cayenne helps the entire digestive system. It has been used for cramping pains and gas. It is great for constipation and helps with elimination. Cayenne can help rebuild the tissue in the stomach and the peristaltic action in the intestines. It aids assimilation, and helps the body to create hydrochloric acid, which is so necessary for good digestion and assimilation, especially of proteins. All this becomes very significant when we realize that the digestive system plays the most important role in mental, emotional and physical health, as it is through the digestive system that the brain, glands, muscles and every other part of the body are fed and cleansed. Chili peppers like cayenne have a bad--and undeserved--reputation for contributing to stomach

Does Truth Really Exist?
We live in a confusing time, and no wonder. It’s getting harder and harder to distinguish between what is fact and what’s not. Methods of communication are faster and more vast than anyone would have imagined a century ago, and those methods are being used relentlessly to propagate lies as truth.From fictional entertainment portrayed as fact, like the Da Vinci Code book and movie, to the evening news, the lines between truth and lie are becoming one big blur. Reporters and “experts” use surveys and other statistics masterfully to support their agendas. They know the average person doesn’t have the time or knowledge to dig deeper into the details which typically reveal the statistics aren’t representative of popular opinion.The mainstream media wants us to believe that most Americans have liberal views and opinions, and the few that don’t are closed-minded hate mongers. It makes me wonder if this was what Hitler’s propaganda campaigns prior to and during WWII were like - where the population is inundated with false information over and over until the people begin to believe the lies. It’s one of the oldest forms of brainwashing aimed at manipulating the masses. It tears at the heart of life, because truth is vital to life. Man has searched for its meaning since time began. In 30

Shopping for a Gamer
There is a lot to know about video games and the video game industry. Purchasing games, consoles and accessories for your friends and family can be daunting for first-time video game shoppers. Here are a few hints and tips to make holiday shopping faster and more effective.Tip #1: TerminologyHoliday requests will come to you in two forms: verbally or as a list. You think you know what they want until you hit the store and find out there are many products of similar name.Do not confuse the term “xbox” as a generic Microsoft gaming console. There are two xbox systems: Xbox and Xbox 360. If your loved one asks for a “360” it will be the Xbox 360. If they request an Xbox console in 2006, they’re probably looking for the Xbox 360 because it’s the new console. If you are unsure, ask. Getting the wrong games or the wrong system will lead to many incompatibilities and, likely, a return trip to the store.The brands that will lead to confusion are: Xbox PlayStation NintendoEach brand has at least two variants: Xbox, Xbox 360 PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo WiiSony and Nintendo have hand-held variants:Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite Sony PSP called advanced age of ours.

Yet we are no different than any other age really, borrowing as it were our most cherished guideposts from the culture of the time. Whatever technology has to offer becomes the model for our functioning, and also the functioning of the Universe. Today it is the computer and its associated language. Not so long ago it was the Clock and the simple mathematical formulas that allowed us to split and measure time.

Now we refer to “cyber space” and “virtual reality” as if these define the ultimate in all possible achievement. Not so long from now, a mere 20 years perhaps, we will be looked upon as primitive, just like the people who grew up with old black and white television sets with all their hand controls and bulbous appearance. Yet this technology was the epitome of its time back in the 1950s just like the computer is today. Just like the black and white TV period then, our age today will be eclipsed in no time by a new generation of cyber space technologies and their spokesmen who will speak a language that few of us will understand, but we will all be amazed nonetheless.

This is how it goes, what we’ve come to call “progress.” One event or discovery supercedes the last one and so on. Yet no technology ever, and I do mean ever, has solved the problems of the Spirit. No advance, no discovery, no matter how far reaching, has ever made man happier. Because happiness is not a function of technological advances; it is a function of the heart. Always has been, always will be! And no technology can supercede that.

So where does that leave us? Should we abandon our seeking of technological advances? Shall we give up on improving the epitome of the computer chip, or whatever successor to that throne now exists? No, of course not! But let’s be real, as some like to say. Let’s get down to brass tax. If technology is not the answer, then what? Where to we turn for Spiritual sustenance?

Do we go back to the dark ages where Voodoo and other mysteries were being practiced? Do we dust off the Bible once again and have another go at a proper interpretation? Do we look to the skies for the advancing alien cultures that so many predict are on their way? Or, do we look elsewhere, in a totally different direction perhaps, one that the so-called New Age movement has been alluding to? Where do we look for answers?

Our systems of government, as good as they are, aren’t working perfectly by any means. Our religious institutions aren’t functioning any better, perhaps even worse. Our civic governments are up in arms over one issue or another. Our private industries are in a constant state of flux trying to find the next best solution in order to make more money. We’ve even seen a lot of illegal activity brought to light here, all for the simple aim of making more profit.

Upsizing, downsizing, restructuring, all buzzwords describing the last couple of decades. Where are they taking us? Nowhere likely! At least no further than we were when that cycle started. When there’s no guiding Spirit to call upon, to trust, to guide you forward, where do you turn?

Everyone’s scared right now, isn’t that true? We’ve had the unthinkable – 9/11/2001. Everyone’s wondering what’s going to happen next. No one can count on their job. There’s a war on somewhere in the world. Families disintegrate. Mad men still rule some countries. And so-called sane societies are still arming themselves like there may be no tomorrow.

For what purpose? For what point? So we can prove once again that “might makes right.?” No, that’s not going to work, because globalization also means that we reap what we sow, and if we sow destruction, then we shall have it in turn. The chemical and radiological mistakes of the

The chemical and radiological mistakes of the past are already oozing out of the Earth, polluting the water and atmosphere, threatening the delicate balance of Life.

Yes, we have plenty to be scared of, because what we have to fear is ourselves and our propensity to destroy that which sustains Life. At what point does profit stop trumping sanity? This is what happens when a culture is no longer governed by its myths, when it relies solely upon the power of greed and conquest with no accounting for the consequences. When we lie to each other about the hazards we are burying, we are lying to ourselves. And when we lie to ourselves, we are on a path of self-destruction.

No self-respecting myth would ever allow this. A myth is a living, breathing entity that commands respect by its simple adherence to a truth. A truth such as “all life forms exist in relation to each other.” A truth that “a lie is a lie no matter how sophisticated, or for who’s good it is.”

No, we don’t need any more false promises, no more than we need another breadbox. But we do need the truth, and that my friends, is the rub! For if we are to seek the truth then we are in for a big shakeup, a meltdown of thoughts and ideas beyond proportions we would be prepared to recognize. Such is the power of truth and the failing of lies. Just ask any addict who’s made it to Alcoholics Anonymous. Lies are indestructible only in a world of fantasy. But truth is eternally undeniable. A myth based on truth is always available if we reach for it; and only this truth is capable of leading us out of our labyrinth of lies.

“So what,” you might say? Who needs such a hard nosed truth? “I have my car, CDs and computer; I have a wife, children and 2.2 pets. What do I need mythology for?” Well, for one reason perhaps and that is “you’re going to die someday so how will you explain yourself then?” Oh there are other reasons of course; but that one usually brings the point home.

We call this book mythical for one reason, because it reaches into the essence of every story ever told and brings out its truth, that tiny essence that repeats itself over and over again in the lives of millions of people across many Nations and over all our centuries. You can couch your myths in many forms but you cannot escape their inherent sincerity and their ability to stimulate and to move you.

Myths exist because people create them; and people create them because they live their themes. They are also Divinely inspired, imbued with a Heavenly Spirit that transcends culture and time barriers.

Today’s myths, if we can unearth them, carry the same themes as those of centuries ago when we didn’t have so much media spam to distract us. But today’s myths are harder to find. We tend not to think that way anymore. They still exist however, as they fill the airwaves of our modern culture and spread their message in every communications medium we have today.

Myths still come via today’s storytellers, but they are couched behind our love of reason and intellect and are not so close to the heart as they once were. But they are there nevertheless. We still live them and imbue our succeeding generations with what we think they mean. We’ve just lost the ability to communicate them as effectively as we once did. And we’re missing so many of their vital components, like their ability to actually touch the Heart and the Spirit which resides there.

We are about to discover our own holy purpose on this plane and, without our myths to guide us, we are in for a very rude awakening. One we remain unprepared for because of the distance we’ve traveled away from our center of feeling activity. Now, as the Spirit of All Time calls us back, we are about to be surprised. How will we handle this? What will we say? He will want answers you see
