			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let&#8217;s use the example of a volleyball game. What is the object of the game? To win. That is the primary reason for playing. Now of course some people will just play for fun but let&#8217;s say it is a professional volleyball league where winning is paramount.</p>
<p>I think the same thing is going on in the universe&#8211;a game is being played between divisive forces and cohesive forces.</p>
<p>When reporting on a volleyball game, the emphasis is on who won and then maybe some ancillary material on strategy, players, history between the 2 teams, etc. But it doesn&#8217;t get into the minutiae&#8211;the heartbeat of the players, respiration, training regimen, etc. It goes with the big picture&#8211;who won the game.</p>
<p>Because we don&#8217;t see the BIG Picture, we, including scientists, just talk about minutiae. That&#8217;s what much of physics is concerned with&#8211;the study of minutiae. But what is that telling us? It&#8217;s telling us the same things as if we were studying the minutiae of the volleyball players&#8211;heartbeat, respiration, etc. It is missing the point. But it is essential that we know all this minutiae because we have to know all the variables at work. Eventually, we will see how they fit into the universal template. If we don&#8217;t see the &#8220;game&#8221;, I don&#8217;t think we will ever see the template.</p>
<p>Why don&#8217;t we see the game being played in the universe? Because that would turn the current human structures that mankind has built upside down, and chaos would ensue. I say mankind because men have mostly built these structures to their advantage. It will take considerable time to SEE the game being played throughout the universe, including on earth!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What are some of the reasons for the decline of the US? Great powers always decline. It really comes down to this. The IMPACTS are the foundation of any country&#8211;they are the early builders and then they become the fuel. As the country develops, an SN or structural nucleus takes over and the IMPACTS get pushed out of the power corridors. They go from founders to fuel. Their influence politically as a whole becomes practically insignificant.</p>
<p>The same has occurred in the US. The IMPACTS are used for fuel to run the economy but they are not a political influence to any great degree. They could be but they don&#8217;t know that.</p>
<p>Domestically, what are some of the problems?</p>
<p>1) The disparity in income and resources. This is always bad for an economy. The people at the top don&#8217;t spend their money in ways that would promote a more vibrant economy. They just &#8220;sit on it&#8221; basically.</p>
<p>2) The middle class is being slowly dissolved. Without a strong middle class, the society gradually crumbles.</p>
<p>3) The political setup is broken. It is not amenable to solving problems. Actually, it creates more problems than it solves.</p>
<p>4) The worst healthcare system in the &#8220;modern&#8221; world. It is a disgrace. It is holding back millions of people, and it is causing suffering and unnecessary deaths. In my opinion, it is a major cause of the decline of this country. The only conclusion that can be taken away is that this country does not care about its citizens. Thousands die every year because they can&#8217;t get access to medical care. The government will spend trillions of dollars in Iraq but will say it doesn&#8217;t have money for the healthcare of Americans. It is a crime.</p>
<p>Internationally, what are the problems?</p>
<p>1) The main one is that the US has been joined at the hip with Israel for the past few decades and it has cost the US dearly&#8211;and it will continue to do so until the right wings of the two countries get a taste of sanity. Israel has effectively been running the foreign policy of the US for many years. It is one of the most bizarre relationships in the history of states and nations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Arab Spring has arrived. Some old dictators are being shown the door&#8211;and worse. Turkey, a non-Arab country, has done something no country outside the Middle East has done for many years&#8211;it has stood up to Israel and shows no signs of backing down.  America continues its slide as its economic problems continue. Europe and the Euro look shaky. What is going on?</p>
<p>As mentioned many times, everything can be explained by the IMPACTS concept. The IMPACTS are the small group in societies around the world that make everything work. They are the fuel. Problems arise when the SN, or structural nucleus, which is the power-control center, uses IMPACTS only for fuel and neglects their other talents such as facilitators for peace.</p>
<p>Turkey&#8217;s ascendancy is attributable to its new economy which has been revived because the barriers to less-secular Muslims are being removed.  With a strong economy, they can stand up to Israel. Turkey has a rich history of civilization&#8211;it is situated between Greece and the Fertile Crescent. That means it has a strong IMPACTS foundation. That means there is tremendous potential within its population, just as the world is seeing with China.</p>
<p>Societies rise because of strong IMPACTS involvement&#8211;they fall because the SN knows nothing about the dynamics of how a society works. The SN only understands power and control&#8211;and it doesn&#8217;t understand that very well. I should say it only wants power and control.</p>
<p>The world will continue to change and it will all be due to the actions of the IMPACTS. They are small in number but they have tremendous clout. When that clout is put into action, anything can happen.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[

In Spontaneous Evolution by Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman, the authors discuss research done by Iain Couzin of Britain. Couzin found leaders or trendsetters—he called them experts—in ant colonies. These experts, which were often a tiny percentage of the group, seemed to possess more skill at finding food and recognizing danger than did the other [...]]]></description>

<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Garamond&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">In <em>Spontaneous Evolution</em> by Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhaerman, the authors discuss research done by Iain Couzin of Britain. Couzin found leaders or trendsetters—he called them experts—in ant colonies. These experts, which were often a tiny percentage of the group, seemed to possess more skill at finding food and recognizing danger than did the other ants, and the other ants seemed to know it. </span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Garamond&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">&#8220;Expert ants do not appear to have different physical traits from other ants. However, they seem to be better attuned to the field, and other ants seem to know that. Therefore, were Couzin a spiritual healer, he might have named them shaman ants, priest ants, or visionary ants simply because they appear to act in concert with the needs of the whole.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Garamond&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">They go on to say&#8211;&#8221;Correspondingly, it seems that evolution of the human swarm is also predicated on both its density and number of experts . . . the influence of a proportionally few creative cultural experts will guide us to abruptly change pattern and direction as we evolve to a more awakened, conscious, and life-affirming version of humanity . . . these experts will help us save ourselves from ourselves.&#8221;</span></p>
<p class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Garamond&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">So there are IMPACTS ants as well as IMPACTS humans. As I have said many times, the model is the same throughout the universe, and certainly on earth.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What I really want to do is help the world. How? By helping IMPACTS learn who THEY are. The IMPACTS are the fuel for the human race&#8211;they make it all happen. If IMPACTS can start understanding who they are and their role in the world, then they can join forces and truly make a difference. We really need an IMPACTS movement globally where IMPACTS are discovering the power they have to change the world. It will take some time but it can be done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What do you think of when you think of the human brain? Probably that it is a powerful tool&#8211;it is what makes us human. But I look at it very differently. I see it as the manifestation of the 2 major forces that struggle across the universe.</p>
<p>As we know, the human brain has 2 hemispheres, and these hemispheres are connected by a bundle of neural fibers called the corpus callosum, generally thicker in women than men. Why would nature have produced 2 hemispheres? Why not just one? Or maybe a hemisphere just for men and a hemisphere just for women?</p>
<p>The reason I think is that there is an ongoing struggle between power-control (left hemisphere) and creative-wholeness (right hemisphere) across the universe. The human brain is not exempt from that struggle. And therefore neither are we.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world has changed dramatically in the past 20 years or so and continues to change at an exponential pace. What do I mean by that? I mean that technology influences our lives and behavior in ways we don&#8217;t even comprehend. But we are still thinking pretty much the same way&#8211;or most of us are anyway.</p>
<p>Human beings have no idea how the present hierarchal setup of society influences our thinking and behavior. The nucleus of society has a tremendous effect on us whether we realize it or not&#8211;just as a black hole &#8220;controls&#8221; the galaxy. We may think our thinking is &#8220;free&#8221; but is it really? How much control does the SN nucleus have over us?</p>
<p>I think we need to start understanding that there are 2 major forces vying with each other across the universe, and those 2 forces are doing the same within humanity. One is the nucleus force&#8211;the SN&#8211;which wants power and control. The other is the IMPACTS force which wants endless harmony, balance, and creativity. Those 2 forces are obviously at odds with one another with the SN power and control force actually using the IMPACTS force as its fuel.</p>
<p>IMPACTS need to start saying, &#8220;I will use my fuel for harmony and the uplifting of human beings and not for power and control over others, and worse.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why would we think that we could not understand how the universe works? Mainly because we have been programmed not to believe that it is possible. Before Copernicus and others, the Church had convinced people that it KNEW how the universe worked&#8211;the earth was the center of the universe and everything revolved around it. God was in charge.</p>
<p>It is really not that different from what we have today except now it is the SN or structural-nucleus that is telling you and everyone else how it all works&#8211;or I should say the SN constructs the filters. One thing that is off limits is human behavior&#8211;THOU shalt not figure out how human behavior really works&#8211;how humans are just another part of nature, and how human civilization follows all of the laws of nature precisely.</p>
<p>That is what is stopping us from seeing the real nature of reality. If we understand what is really happening with us, then we will see the pieces of the universal puzzle start to fall into place.  Most people will think that it is not possible but where does that come from? It comes from teachings&#8211;and it comes from the influence of today&#8217;s church&#8211;the SN.</p>
<p>I used to think that the more we learned about the universe the more we would learn about ourselves. Now I realize that everything is following the same model&#8211;EVERYTHING&#8211;from the hydrogen atom to the Milky Way galaxy to the human cell. So now when you learn about one, you are learning about all. The universe truly is in everything&#8211;from the smallest atom to the biggest galaxy and everything in-between.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Israel-Palestine is once again in the news but it is always in the news. It is the classic story of how the world has operated for the past 6,000 years or so.  A power with lots of IMPACTS energy on its side is trying to &#8220;have its way&#8221;. The people indigenous to the area&#8211;the Palestinians&#8211;have been uprooted and labeled as terrorists for trying to defend themselves, their families, their land, and their dignity. This is the way it works in today&#8217;s world&#8211;SN powers define the issues in their favor, and then propagandize them to the masses.</p>
<p>Since the development of agriculture, SNs (structural nuclei)  have formed around the world&#8211;and these entities, totally unbeknownst to them, have succeeded or failed based on the number of IMPACTS that they could &#8220;corral&#8221; within their domain. Those with the most IMPACTS usually did alright&#8211;to a point. Eventually, an SN overreacts and the decline begins. IMPACTS are the fuel for the human race and they can save the human race, but the SN only wants them for fuel. It assumes it knows how to save itself&#8211;but of course it doesn&#8217;t. The story of written history is the story of overreaching by the SN, and the basic destruction of the society.</p>
<p>The same is happening in the Middle East. The US has basically sided with Israel for the past few decades&#8211;against the indigenous Palestinians&#8211;and the relationship is taking its toll on this country. Zionism is a pulling-inward approach&#8211;it is not a reaching-out approach. Pulling-inward is the opposite of the IMPACTS force which reaches out for bonding and connections.  In my opinion, such a philosophy as Zionism cannot succeed over the long-term&#8211;it is antithetical to the way that life formed and the way life is sustained. Human societies follow the same rules as life&#8211;they are subject to the same forces.</p>
<p>Propaganda is winning the Middle East battle so far&#8211;truth and justice are rarely in sight. In the Israel-Palestine conflict, we are seeing what we have seen for the past 6,000 years&#8211;IMPACTS are being pitted against IMPACTS. The SNs use their IMPACTS to kill and thwart the IMPACTS on the other side&#8211;which is particularly heinous because IMPACTS are usually peaceful people&#8211;and creative and innovative. It is the creativity and innovation that the SNs want&#8211;not the peace-loving aspects.</p>
<p>It is a male-dominated world&#8211;the propaganda is predominantly male-orchestrated. Female energy, including that from IMPACTS males, is used to fuel the male machine, and that includes the war machine. It is time for the IMPACTS around the world&#8211;men and women&#8211;to see and understand how their fuel is utilized&#8211;and to say:</p>
<p>&#8220;I will decide how MY fuel is used.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you are like me, you only want it going to help other people&#8211;not to kill and/or subjugate them&#8211;not to deny them the opportunity to be fully human.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Temple Grandin is an autistic woman who is responsible for many significant advances in animal husbandry. I watched an HBO movie about her recently which highlighted the incredible struggles she faced as a person with Asperger&#8217;s Syndrome, a so-called high-functioning form of autism. Today she is an acknowledged expert in her field and TIME magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in the category of &#8220;heroes&#8221;.</p>
<p>Born in 1947, doctors originally suggested lifelong institutionalization but her mother persevered and committed herself to finding a way forward for Temple. Temple earned a Bachelor&#8217;s degree&#8211;then a Master&#8217;s&#8211;then a PhD. As she said recently&#8211;&#8221;We have to have a lot more emphasis on the talent and less on the disability.&#8221;</p>
<p>Temple is a good example of the reality that IMPACTS usually come from the periphery&#8211;they don&#8217;t go with the flow but they provide the energy and innovation for those who do. Think of how many people and animals Temple Grandin has impacted in her life. That is very often the case with IMPACTS&#8211;their influence travels far and wide. People ask how it was possible for the pyramids to be built&#8211;but of course they had to be designed first. In my opinion, it was probably a person with Asperger&#8217;s Syndrome&#8211;maybe someone like Temple. It would have only taken one person to design the pyramids.</p>
<p>Think of that from now on&#8211;it only takes one or a very few to change the world. Margaret Mead has said the same thing many times.</p>
