For the planet’s 7.6 billion people, 500 million house sparrows, or 100,000 sandpipers, genetic diversity “is about the same,” Mark Stoeckle from the Rockefeller University in New York told AFP

Published findings overturn settled ideas about how evolution unfolds

Who would have suspected that a handheld genetic test used to unmask sushi bars pawning off tilapia for tuna could deliver deep insights into evolution, including how new species emerge?

And who would have thought to trawl through five million of these gene snapshots—called “DNA barcodes”—collected from 100,000 animal species by hundreds of researchers around the world and deposited in the US government-run GenBank database?

That would be Mark Stoeckle from The Rockefeller University in New York and David Thaler at the University of Basel in Switzerland, who together published findings last week sure to jostle, if not overturn, more than one settled idea about how evolution unfolds.

When these scientists published the results of their sweeping study of 5 million “DNA barcodes” from about 100,000 different animal species early in May 2018, in addition to a shocking absence of genetic diversity, the authors were stunned to conclude that about 9 out of every 10 species on Earth appear to have come into being at about the same time, apparently sometime between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago. Study co-author David Thaler said of the findings, “This conclusion is very surprising, and I fought against it as hard as I could.” One unavoidable possibility these results raise was articulated in the phys.org report, which asks, “Was there some catastrophic event 200,000 years ago that nearly wiped the slate clean?”

Finding extended footage of Dr. Carl Jung speaking openly on God and spirituality is a rare thing. In this 1959 video, Professor Jung is interviewed at his home in Switzerland by British broadcaster John Freeman on his background, work, and man’s psyche and Unconscious.

At 25:30 in the interview, Jung talks about a passage in an ancient text on the sun disk and then goes deeper into a discussion of other solar imagery. In the final few minutes of the interview, Jung discusses what will happen when mankind begins to merge into technology.

Those who say that sin is not in man are like people plunged under a deluge of many waters who will not acknowledge it, but say ‘We heard a sound of waters.’ Plunged under the depth of the waves of evil, they say that sin is not in their mind or thoughts. There is a difference between those who have a theory and talk, but are not seasoned with the salt of heaven—who discourse of a royal table, but have never eaten or enjoyed it—and a man who has had a sight of the King himself, to whom the treasure has been opened, and he has entered it, and inherited them, and eaten and drunk of the costly viands. …

“Like a man who has suffered many losses by thieves, and has got away from them with much difficulty, and after this has come into great affluence and a large fortune, and has no more dread of loss because of his abundant wealth; so spiritual men, after first passing through many temptations and dreadful places, and then filled with grace and repleat with good things, are no longer in terror of those who would plunder them, since their wealth is not small; yet they fear, not with the beginners fear of evil spirits, but with fear and care how to employ the spiritual gifts entrusted to them.” ~St. Macarius the Egyptian

Denying Reality

Those who say that there is no sin and no evil fall into two camps. One group believes that if God created everything, then nothing can be evil. The second group believes that in pretending that all is nice and loving and positive, they will make it a reality. Neither group has succeeded in making sin or evil disappear. They simply hide from it and are therefore helpless to deal with it. If we are to be rid of sin and evil in ourselves and in our world, we have to acknowledge it, then work to get rid of it or avoid it. As the old saying goes, the devil’s greatest strength comes in getting people to believe he doesn’t exist. It is then so much easier for him to manipulate them. Denying that evil exists doesn’t make it go away. It has to be acknowledged and corrected.

Looking back over a rather eventful life, I can identify many turning points such as career changes, relocating home, travelling abroad, starting & ending relationships, buying & selling things, and undertaking challenging experiences. Invariably, decisions were based on what seemed right at the time, yet in retrospect, some choices proved fruitful while others appear less judicious.

I’ve always been one to follow the Inner Voice, in preference to agonizing intellectually for a long time over the pros and cons. The problem with that, I have come to realize, is that the Inner Voice can come either from a place of light where the higher Self dwells, or it can arise from a lower, dark place. Since Inner Voices seem to emanate from somewhere within the “Self,” the trick is to discern which is which. I have learned to apply what I call the Y-Principle.

In ancient times, Pythagoras adhered to the Y-Principle, a concept he brought back from his travels to Egypt. The Y signified the power of choice and represented the Forking of the Ways. It is a symbol of a central stem branching to the right, which was called Divine Wisdom, and to the left, which was referred to as Earthly Wisdom. At the point where the path divides, one can take the left-hand direction, following the dictates of the lower nature, or the right-hand road which leads to union with the higher spheres. The latter involved the use of intuition to recognize the invisible spirit of things, rather than their outwardly manifested forms.

During the five years I lived and worked in Taipei (1990-1995), I recall the media publicized the story of an old professor who persuaded the government to re-introduce a time-honoured concept into schools that he thought was in danger of being lost to the new generation: that of listening to “guidance” called the Inner Voice. Actually, in Taiwan it was called Liang-zhi. ‘Liang’ was translated into English as ‘intuitive,’ although it is also commonly understood to mean ‘good.’ Adding –zhi denoted a quality or sense. Together the words were interpreted by English speakers to be the Inner Voice.

When the Inner Voice speaks, how do we know whether it is what Pythagoras called our Divine Wisdom, which will lead to a happy outcome, or if it’s the Earthly Wisdom that is taking us down a path we may later regret? How do we apply this Y-Principle?

“In his arrogance, Yaldeboath decides that he is the most powerful being in the universe and he declares himself to be the only God. The Demiurge then goes on to create the physical world, together with various archons, heavens and powers. Some of these are thought to belong to the 365 days of the year and others to the seven days of the week. Yet others seem to be more personal, for they deal with emotional and mystic forces.

“The Apocryphon is incredibly detailed as to the creation of man. The Archons, as we have seen elsewhere, attempt to creat a man, They fail to give him life, however, since they cannot make him move until Sophia tricks Yaldeboath into breathing his essence of the Light into man, allowing him to become a living being. Finally comes the creation story of Genesis with its episode in the garden: Adam and Eve eat of the “Tree of Knowledge” and are cast out.

“It is an interesting exercise to deconstruct the myth simply to understand the culture and thinking which gave birth to it. …

“First we have Unity in the Light; then duality in the pairing; recognition of the Three in the Trinity; four within the creative soup and so on. If we allow it to, this can take us into the hidden significance of numbers.” ~Bernard Simon

The Demiurge Declares Himself God

This is the start of everything going wrong. Whether you think of the Demiurge as a single being, or as a group name for the fallen angels led by Lucifer makes little difference. When he/they decided in their arrogance that they were equal to the true God, they crossed a line that should never have been crossed. The decision that they were equal to God meant that they had no reason to operate within the Laws of God, but could make up their own rules. They then decide that they could create a universe of their own, with their laws, and where they ruled. That is the start of the physical universe of death, disease, and destruction. Yaldabaoth, the Demiurge, is the jealous god, the angry,destructive god. He is not the real God, not the God that Jesus called Father.

Steamboat Hot Springs Healing Center & Spa participated for the first time at Alliance 2020 – 3rd Annual Business Expo on Wednesday, February 12, 2020 which was held at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center from 3 to 7 p.m. Gene Savoy, Jr., president of Steamboat, and Sonya Savoy, Assistance Manager of the Spa, attended with a booth on behalf of the Healing Center.

The event is a collaboration among the Reno-Sparks Chamber of Commerce (RSCC), the Reno-Sparks Convention and Vistors Authority (RSCVA), the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN), and the Reno-Tahoe Airport Auhtority (RTAA).

About 1000 people attended the Expo, the third of its kind. More than 200 local businesses were represented – twice as many as last year. This was the first time Steamboat Hot Springs was represented. Gene had this to say, “This was a great event for Steamboat to be a part of. We have been actively collaborating with the Chamber of Commerce, and they have been great partners for us. We look forward to attending again, and partnering with other local organizations, such as the RSCVA, Travel Nevada, and Reno-Tahoe Territory, in order to promote historic Steamboat Springs and its healing waters, which we are proud to be custodians of.”

In addition to complimentary beverages and appetizers, music was performed by the Reno Philharmonic and the Reno Jazz Orchestra. It is anticipated that Steamboat Hot Springs will attend next year’s expo.

Reno Consociate David Mitchell wrote an opinion piece for the local Reno newspaper, the Reno Gazette Journal, published February 18, 2020. Here is how it opens:

Through personal revelation or otherwise, many people have had some sort of personal experience with a spiritual “higher power.” In many instances, this Divine relationship has played the most powerful role in shaping their lives. If you feel this is the most important dimension of your life, then perhaps you should consider using this part of yourself when it comes time to vote.

This means more than asking which candidate supports your religious beliefs; this means asking what feelings each candidate promotes within you, and whether those feelings support or diminish your spiritual convictions. For example, consider all the candidates running for a particular office, and then ask yourself which candidate you would prefer to invite to dinner for an evening of shared wisdom and perspectives. The answer might surprise you; it did when I tried this.

” As long as they are hidden, most things in the world are upright and live. If they are revealed they die, as is clear by the example of the visible person: as long as the intestines are hidden, a person is alive. When the intestines are exposed and come out, the person will die. So also with a tree. While its root is hidden, it sprouts and grows. If its root is exposed, the tree dries up.

“So it is with every birth that is in the world, not only with the revealed but also the hidden. As long as the root of wickedness is hidden, it is powerful. But when it is recognized, it is dissolved. When it is revealed, it perishes. That is why the word says, “Even now the ax lies set against the root of the trees.”It will not merely cut—what is cut sprouts again— but the ax penetrates deeply until it brings up the root.

“Jesus pulled out the root of the whole place while others did it only partially. As for us, let each one dig down after the root of evil that is within us and pluck it out of our heart from the root. It will be uprooted if we recognize it. But if we are ignorant of it, it takes root in us and produces fruit in our hearts. It masters us. We are its slaves. It takes us captive to make us do what we do not want; and what we do want we do not do. It is powerful because we have not recognized it. While it exists it is active. Ignorance is the mother of all evil. Ignorance will eventuate in death because those who come from ignorance neither were nor are nor will be. But those who are in the truth will be perfect when all the truth is revealed.” ~Gospel of Philip

Hidden are Upright in Ignorance

I believe what Philip is saying is that those who are ignorant, but unaware of it, can remain upright and alive in a world where ignorance is the norm. However, when they become aware of their ignorance, and the ignorance of others, they must change that status. They will no longer seem alive and intelligent to themselves once the ignorance and illusion of the world they live in is revealed. They do not truly die if they awaken to their ignorance and seek to change. It is those who cling to the ignorance and comforting illusions who are truly the walking dead.

He is also saying that people who are in truth not powerful can appear powerful in a land of ignorance and illusion if they are good at negotiating and manipulating the illusion. There are even people who believe that by manipulating the illusion through a process called “manifesting” that they are being spiritual, but manifesting is spiritual only when it is used for spiritual purposes, not material gain.

Gary is the director of Wave Front BIOresonance® Research at Steamboat Healing Center in Reno, Nevada. As a practicing Sonatherapist, he regularly meets with clients from around the world offering “self-healing” via light, color, sound, water, and subtle energy therapeutics. Certified in Cymatic Therapy, he also works regularly with Yukinori Matsushita and Manners-certified Cymatic Therapeutic colleagues in Japan, among other nations.

Having followed the research and development of the late Sir Dr. Peter Guy Manners for over twenty years via their mutual colleague Yukinori Matsushita, in 2008 Dr. Buchanan met briefly with Dr. Manners at the latter’s home in Broadway, England. Following Manners’ review of Buchanan’s research, Buchanan was directly authorized and encouraged to carry on the vibrational healing technology the good doctor had been developing since the 1950s.

In August 2008 Dr. Buchanan published SONA: Healing with Wave Front BIOresonance™ — a landmark text on vibrational healing now distributed to physicians and vibrational healers around the globe. It is being utilized as an educational manual by professional clinicians in the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Middle East, India and parts of Asia, South America, South Africa, Australia, and Japan.

In December of 2011 Buchanan began his “Sonatherapy” channel on YouTube that in a little over three years has garnered well over 257,000 uploads of Cymatic videos featuring healing Wave Front BIOresonance™ Sonationswith 1,388 subscribers. These free, “self-healing” videos are viewed by, with ongoing emails received from, individuals in far-flung international locales, such as Pakistan, Africa, India, Russia, Indonesia, and elsewhere. Sonatherapy® is slowly being recognized as the healing technology of our time and of the future.

As a lifelong musician and educator, Buchanan is also Director of Music for Cosolargy® International; former Director of Admissions, the Jamilian University of the Ordained; former Editor, The Community Communiqué; Director of The Music Guild; Conductor of the Jamilian Hand Bell Choir; and, Co-chairman of the American Association of Concerned Clergymen, the Advocates for Religious Rights & Freedoms.

For decades Buchanan has served also as Vice President of the Andean Explorers Foundation & Ocean Sailing Club (AEF&OSC); Navigator for OSC; and has chaired the following committees: Cartography, Education, Epigraphy, Motion Picture & Video, and Musicology. (Former Website: www.aefosc.org.)

As an internationally recognized Composer & Conductor for almost five decades, Maestro Buchanan is Founding Conductor/Music Director of The Foundation Orchestra & Association based in Nevada and has been represented by that body, The Music Guild, and Cosolargy® International.

The Reverend Canon Dr. Buchanan lives at Steamboat Hot Springs, south of Reno, Nevada, with his wife Amanda at Steamboat Healing Center & Geothermal Spa, where he researches Wave Front BIOresonance™ — developing new understandings and applying groundbreaking vibrational approaches in healing.
