The official theme of the third annual
Science and Nonduality conference was “On the Edge of Time,” but the
unofficial narrative was about time running out on the flat-earth
paradigms of our day: the world works like a machine, consciousness follows
matter, our lives are essentially meaningless, we are in this thing
alone. Indeed, in listening to the many voices representing both science and spirituality,
it was clear that while there is no ultimate agreement on the nature of
nonduality—“essential unity” in the Advaita tradition of Hindu
philosophy—there was near unanimous recognition that a new era for
humanity is emerging, and evolving around our innate interconnectedness. It’s
an awkward emergence, to be sure, like the first faltering steps of a
child learning to walk, but animated by unstoppable forces.
“The next Buddha is the sangha,” Vietnamese poet-activist Thich Nhat
Hanh is quoted as saying, implying that the future of the planet depends
on the awakening of the many, not the heroic efforts of the few (sangha
refers to a community of spiritual practitioners). From the convulsive
initiation of Arab Spring to the still amorphous Occupy Wall Street
movement (now “the 99 percent”), the impulse for change is spreading
rapidly and widely, like a benevolent virus fighting off the antibodies
of outdated belief systems.
Speaker after speaker invoked how entangled we all are, from the micro
to the macro, from the cellular to the cosmic. Those whose worldviews
are rooted in ancient spiritual traditions cited the mystical texts and
teachers of their religions: Rabbi David Cooper spoke of the mysticism
of the Kabbalah, which declared “It gave rise to God, to heaven, and to
earth.” Llewelyn Vaughn Lee recalled an ancient Sufi saying about the
yearning for the Divine: “I am he who I love, and who I love is me.”
Father Richard Rohr reminded us of Jesus’s caution, “As you do unto
others, you do unto me.” And Buddhist teacher-activist David Loy brought
forth the Vedantic saying, “All is self."
When
considered beyond their clichéd familiarity, these are remarkable
statements. And perhaps even more remarkable is the movement of science
toward similar conclusions. Physicist-meditator John Hagelin calmly
proposed that “the structure of the superstring [theory in physics]
corresponds exactly to the structure of pure consciousness,” and he
showed dozens of slides to make his point. IONS’ Dean Radin presented
seventy-five years of psi research, with average effect sizes equal to
and even greater than what normally qualifies as evidential validity—we
are, indeed, entangled. Eminent physicist Menas Kafatos fluently
entwined the concepts of quantum mechanics with ancient Eastern thought
while noting that Sir Isaac Newton wrote extensively about mysticism.
And on it went.
Granted,
there is as much speculation on the side of science as there is faith
on the side of the spiritual, but is it a coincidence that these dualities of
belief and ontology are inexorably moving closer together at this time
(remember Fritjof Capra’s The Tao of Physics)? Although consciousness
comes first in the East and last in the West, these two central
paradigms seem to be spiraling together like strands of DNA in
a dance of evolutionary creativity. And to what purpose? According to
science writer Lynn McTaggart, spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen, integral
theorist Ken Wilber, David Loy, and others at the conference, it’s the
ineffable pull toward wholeness and connection in which we are waking up
to our role as active agents. Does that suggest an intelligently
designed universe? And who, or what, is the designer?
And
yet for all the high-minded and inspirational talk, I leave the final,
simpler words to nonduality teacher Rupert Spira, who reminded us that
while we live in a world of swirling chaos, uncertainty, creativity, and
emergence, the real action is in the now: “If the past and the future
are never experienced other than by a thought occurring now, what does
that say about time? And when we do not resist what is, when we do not
seek what is not, we are…happy.”
State Rep. Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) screamed and threw
papers into the air during a House floor debate on state pension reform
Tuesday.
A Republican Illinois state lawmaker on Tuesday screamed and
threw papers into the air while decrying the state's Democrat-led
pension reform bill that could be en route to passage thanks to the
support of powerful House Speaker Michael Madigan.
"Total power in one person's hand -- not the American way!" screamed state Rep. Mike Bost (R-Murphysboro) before throwing a stack of papers into the air.
His tirade came on the heels of a new pension reform proposal -- Senate Bill 1673 -- being approved by a state pension committee and heading to the House floor for discussion within a matter of hours -- before lawmakers could even read it, Bost argued, according to WSIL.
"These damn bills that come out here all the damn time, come out here
at the last second. I've got to figure out how to vote for my people!
You should be ashamed of yourselves! I'm sick of it!" Bost screamed.
"Enough!" Bost continued. "I feel like somebody trying to be released
from Egypt. Let my people go! .. I'm trapped by rules that have been
forced down our throats."
Bost and other state Republican lawmakers have expressed frustration with Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn's targeting of state payouts to Illinois schools to cover pensions.
Quinn has proposed passing that bill onto the schools themselves -- a
move that downstate schools argue could financially cripple them. The
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has
commented that the proposal is "immoral."
The governor's office has estimated that the proposal will save the state between $65 billion and $115 billion.
The code name for the 2012 Bilderberg meeting is allegedly the “Palm Tree Conference.”
Bilderberg Agenda Attracts National Exposure
Romney policy advisers on defensive over secretive group’s power

Sunday, May 20, 2012
The secretive Bilderberg Group’s agenda for its 2012 meeting has attracted national attention with an article by veteran Politico journalist Ken Vogel exploring charges that the organization is set to play a decisive role in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
“Like any good conspiracy theory, there’s just enough there to stoke questions,” writes Vogel. “John Edwards’s speech to the Bilderberg Group’s 2004 meeting in Stresa, Italy, reportedly helped clinch his selection as that year’s Democratic vice presidential candidate. And Jim Johnson, the man who chaired that vice presidential selection process and initially was tasked with spearheading Barack Obama’s 2008 search for a running mate, is a leading Bilderberg member, while prominent Romney advisers including Robert Kagan and Vin Weber have attended past meetings, as have Bill Clinton, Donald Rumsfeld and top finance, media and tech executives.”
Vogel also quotes two time Bilderberg attendee Vin Weber, who claims that no scheming takes place at the event and that it is “just a conference.” Another Romney foreign policy adviser, Robert Kagan, claims the meeting merely represents, “a lot of vaguely uninteresting people giving vaguely uninteresting lectures and then having nice meals in nice places.”
However, as we have exhaustively documented with numerous different examples, Bilderberg does indeed create the consensus for setting policies of global significance, including the introduction of the euro single currency.
As former NATO Secretary-General and Bilderberg member Willy Claes admitted during a 2010 radio interview, Bilderberg attendees are mandated to implement decisions that are formulated during the annual conference of power brokers.
Claes said that Bilderberg guests are normally given around 10 minutes of talk time, after which a report is compiled of their presentation.
“The participants are then obviously considered to use this report in setting their policies in the environments in which they affect,” stated Claes, according to the translated text.
Vogel’s Politico piece is another sterling example of how Bilderberg’s cloak of secrecy is gradually being unveiled through pressure as a result of increasing numbers of activists doing the mainstream media’s job for them by drawing attention to the annual confab.
The ‘Occupy’ Bilderberg protest that Alex Jones first initiated has now gone viral, and Bilderberg 2012 looks set to attract record protests that will outstrip anything seen previously.
Alex Jones has developed two sources within the Bilderberg Group itself. The veracity of these sources was successfully put to the test when Jones was informed that the code name for this year’s meeting was the “Palm Tree Conference,” a fact later confirmed when Jones called the Westfields Marriott hotel and pretended to be a Bilderberg attendee who wanted to confirm his booking.
The 2012 Bilderberg Group meeting will take place from May 31st to June 3rd at the Westfields Marriott Washington Dulles hotel in Chantilly, Virginia.

Secretive BILDERBERG Group Set To Meet In Virginia May 31st – June 3rd 2012 (Alex Jones, Infowars)
Speculation that the location of the Bilderberg Group’s annual meeting would be chosen to coincide with this year’s U.S. presidential election appears to have been accurate with the likelihood that Bilderberg will hold their confab in Chantilly, Virginia from May 31st to June 3rd.

Mark Dice talks with random people on the street to see if they have heard of the Bilderberg Group. Mark Dice is a media analyst, political activist, and author who, in an entertaining and educational way, gets people to question our celebrity obsessed culture, and the role the mainstream media and elite secret societies play in shaping our lives…
The following is a list of prominent persons who have attended one or more conferences organized by the Bilderberg Group. The list is currently organized by category. It is not a complete list and it includes both living and deceased people. Where known, the year(s) they attended are denoted in brackets.
Every US president since Eisenhower has either belonged to the Bilderberg Group or its older sister guild (Bavarian Illuminati), the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), or been directly approved by them.
Members of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission dominate key positions in America’s government, military, industries, media outlets and educational foundations and institutions. The following is a partial list of current CFR members and the positions of influence they hold in society. The CFR’s membership is limited to 3,000, and there are only 325 Trilateral Commission members (2008)
CFR = Member of the Council on Foreign Relations
TC = Member of the Trilateral Commission
BB = Member of the Elite Bilderbergs

Minerval seals of the Bavarian Illuminati. These pendants, worn around the necks of Minerval initiates, featured the Owl of Minerva . Also known as the Owl of Wisdom, this symbol is still found today in powerful places: around the White House, hidden on the dollar bill or on the insignia of the Bohemian Club.
After the Bavarian Illuminati
Today, the term Illuminati is used to loosely describe the small group of powerful individuals who are working towards the creation of a World Government, with the issue of a single world currency and a single world religion. Although it is difficult to determine if this group descends directly from the original Bavarian Illuminati or that it even uses the term Illuminati, its tenets and methods are in perfect continuation of it. As stated above, the name that is used to describe the occult elite can change. And, ultimately, the name is irrelevant; what needs to be recognized is the underlying current that has existed for centuries.
The Great Seal of the United States features the unfinished Great Pyramid of Giza, a symbol of the unfinished work of the Esoteric Orders: a New World Order. The Seal was adopted on the American dollar by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a 32nd Degree Freemason and a Knight of Pythias with ties Manly P. Hall.
The Illuminati Today
On another political plane are ideological groups such as the Council on Foreign Relations, or participants in the World Economic Forum. Here we find leaders in politics, business, finance, education, and the media who share a belief in the value of global solutions; are in position of high authority and influence; and represent different levels of involvement with the inner circle of the group. Most members simply welcome the opportunity to associate with other well-known luminaries and are honored by being offered membership or attendance privileges. Yet, the ideology at the highest levels of such groups supports a world government – to be administered by a class of experts and planners, entrusted with running centrally organized social and political institutions. Although members may be persuaded to add their considerable voices to certain transnational political and economic policies, they may bot be as supportive (or even aware) of the long-range ambitions of the inner circle. While these groups quite often hold their meetings in secret, their membership lists are a matter of public record. It is the central agenda that is disguised.” 21
The main elite groups and councils are: the International Crisis Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, the World Economic Forum, the Brookings Institution, Chatham House, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderberg Group. The Bohemian Club is known to hold informal gatherings of the world elite punctuated with strange ceremonies and rituals. The Club’s insignia is an Owl similar to the one found on the Bavarian Illuminati’s Minerval seal.insignia

If one would carefully study the members and attendees of these exclusive clubs, one would notice that they combine the most powerful politicians, CEOs and intellectuals of the time with lesser known individuals with famous names. They are descendants of powerful dynasties that rose to power by taking over vital aspects of modern economies, such as the banking system, the oil industry or mass media. They have been associated with game changing events, such as the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. This act completely modified the banking system of the United States, placing it in the hands of a few elite corporations. A proof of this is the court decision of 1982 stating that “The Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA [the Federal Tort Claims Act], but are independent, privately owned and locally controlled corporations“.
In his book “Bloodlines of the Illuminati”, controversial author Fritz Springmeier claims that today’s Illuminati is formed from the descendants of thirteen powerful families whose ancestors had close or distant ties to the original Bavarian Illuminati. According to Springmeier, the 13 bloodlines are: the Astors, the Bundys, the Collins, the DuPonts, the Freemans, the Kennedys, the Li, the Onassis, the Reynolds, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Russells and the Van Duyns. 22.
There is no doubt that by virtue of the material and political resources they own, some of these families have a great deal of power in today’s world. They appear to form the core of what we call today the Illuminati. However, are they conspiring to create a New World Order (“Novus Ordo Mundi”)? Here’s a quote from David Rockefeller’s memoirs that might answer some questions:
“For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents such as my encounter with Castro to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions. Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.” 23
The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.
The text of the Act is broad and is addressed at any attempt of a US citizen to conduct foreign relations without authority. However, there is no record of any convictions or even prosecutions under the Logan Act.[1][2]
Text of the Logan Act
§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
1 Stat. 613, January 30, 1799, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953 (2004).
The President is the constitutional representative of the United States with regard to foreign nations. He manages our concerns with foreign nations, and must necessarily be most competent to determine when, how, and upon what subjects negotiation may be urged with the greatest prospect of success. For his conduct, he is responsible to the Constitution.[7]

Ask Yourself (Bilderberg 2012) Not Being Covered By Big NEWS
'The Collective Evolution II: The Human Experience' is a documentary focused on showing each of the dimensions to the experience we call life. The documentary does this by addressing exactly who we all are, and why we are here. It further delves into each of the key pieces that make up the human puzzle, namely the planet, the body, and the ego.
The documentary concludes by addressing the shift in consciousness that
has already begun and continues to intensify on the planet. It’s
intention is to further provide the viewer with the tools and
understanding it needs to step out of current limitations and instead
experience the infinite potentiality we are all capable of.
Does seem like a documentary worth watching ... :-)
The documentary makes us question our archaic and
backward concepts of reality ... having reached the peak of human
evolution its time for us to let go of the things that constrain
humanity ! Ignorance among the masses still seems like the norm, however
each awakened soul who lives the truth, lights up the way for others to walk if they do choose to ... Shine On :)
