Book Review

The Kingmakers: The Mainstream Media and the Road to the White House by Mike Gravel

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
When America's news media fails to do its job, it becomes an enemy at least as lethal as the terrorists our country purports to be at war with. By allowing Bush and his cabal to control them, journalists allowed them to wage an illegal war in Iraq with impunity. In a very real way, the news media's malfeasance, neglect, sloth and incompetence caused hundreds and thousands of deaths.

Twin Soul / Twin Flame

Twin flames are two souls whose karmic (healing) and dharmic (service) unfoldment is so perfectly matched that they are able to serve God and each other eternally through that relationship. Not only is twin flameship the highest form of relationship, it also gifts humanity with a vehicle for transcendence (and, ultimately, ascension) as twin flames continue shaping and leading each other into Oneness. The very embrace of the Beloved. This weaving, once all karma has been cleansed and transmuted, continues (on a purely dharmic level) far beyond ascension. At that point, it becomes a matter of purely serving God (though it always was) which progressively expands the consciousness of the two souls. Looking into the ascended realm we find twin flames still serving creation through the woven tapestry of God’s loving embrace. Some of these pairings include: Lady Venus and Sanat Kumara, Lady Portia and St. Germain, St. Clare and St. Francis, Mother Mary and Archangel Raphael, and on and on.

Because twin flameship acts as a direct portal into the heart of God, the amount of Light that pours through it is like that in no other human-to-human dynamic. It is for this reason that twin flames, once (and if) awakened and ignited to each other, can only sustain a harmonious relationship if they have an extremely high degree of mutual surrender to God’s Will for them. Twin flameship is not human love; it is Divine Love using two human portals.

It is also very important to point out that twin flameship has nothing to do with romantic and/or sexual involvement, though in many cases it includes and uses both those types of human interaction. The relationship exists at the soul level. What it looks like on the physical plane reflects what God needs to do through those two embodiments. It is because the human hand of willful intention muddles and mitigates the grandeur and glory of God’s plan unfolding in one’s life that twin flame relationships seldom reach their zenith on Earth. How does one, then, know how to attune to the highest and best way to be in relationship with a twin flame or with anyone? The answer is to surrender to God’s Will.

Pfizer Fires Heart Doc

Now that a Congressional committee is investigating the credibility of Pfizer's Lipitor ads, the company has dropped Dr. Jarvik as its pitchman. It was a telling reminder that consumers, besieged by drug promotion ads on television and in print media, need to take what they see, hear and read with a very large grain of skepticism.

The trouble was, its very first TV commercial with Dr. Jarvik was downright deceptive. It suggested that he was rowing a racing shell across a mountain lake when he was not, in fact, rowing. A stunt double was at the oars. And while the commercials have Dr. Jarvik enthusing over Lipitor “as a doctor and a dad,” he is actually an inventor and researcher. He has a medical degree, but did not go through residency training and is not licensed to practice medicine or prescribe drugs.

The commercials also fail to note that Dr. Jarvik only started taking Lipitor about a month after he started touting its virtues under a contract that would pay him a minimum of $1.35 million over two years.

Rather than fight with the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Pfizer folded its tent and ended the ad campaign. The committee plans to continue its investigations of the Lipitor marketing campaign and of possible deception in other drug advertising aimed at consumers. We encourage the committee to delve deeply.

What is "angiogenesis?"

'Angio', from the Greek word 'angeio' meaning blood vessel, and 'genesis' meaning production or birth, together refer to the creation of blood vessels within the body. Angiogenesis is a beneficial natural process occurring during the healing of a tissue injury (like internal or external wounds) or in response to other kinds of tissue offense. It occurs in women during both the monthly reproductive cycle and during pregnancy. Alternatively, angiogenesis can exist as part of a diseased body where it can aid in cases of ischemia or lead to disease in the promotion of tumors. During normal function, the body controls the growth of blood vessels using stimulators called growth-factors.
