<div class="xg_module_body"><div class="postbody"><div class="xg_user_generated"><h2 class="title">A short update on the energies</h2>
<div class="entrytext"><p>Let us begin this missive by saying that you have now entered a phase that is like no other you have experienced, and it will probably not be one that you will experience ever again. For now, so much is shifting and reshaping on all sides, both within and without, and so, this will indeed be a season of change on every level. You have by now grown accustomed to not being able to predict just what the next day or even the next hour will bring, and even if you mentally or physically may not have grown quite as accustomed to these changes as to the knowledge that they will occur again and again, you will all slowly but surely start to <span class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" id=":qo.4">reset</span> and reshape your very being into something that will feel much more at ease in this seemingly constantly turmoiled sea. You see, the rapid shifts and the heightened level of energetic activity is not to quieten down for quite some time yet, so for those of you who hanker for a quiet port after a prolonged exposure to these agitated seas, we can offer little but our sympathy at the moment, but for all those already sensing the huge energetic change taking place at this very moment, we can offer more of the same, at an ever increasing frequency in the days ahead.</p>
<p>For this will indeed be a season of tumultuous change on so many levels, but the changes we refer to will bring about a heightened presence of enlightened beings all over the planet. For this incoming light will stop for no one nor no thing, and it will not be one that comes a knocking timidly in the night, asking to be let in. Rather, it will continue to simply flow in at an ever increasing rate, disregarding any and all hindrances that anyone tries to put in the way. In other words, this flood of light and life will enliven even the darkest of corners and it will do so in a fashion that has not been seen before, and we do mean that in a very literal sense. For now, it will be as if the very ground beneath your feet will start to shimmy and shift about, and even the very bedrock of your life will at times seem to be nothing more than a thin gossamer layer undulating in the breeze, ready to rip apart and leave you all ready to step away from the old remnants of your former life and embrace something very new.</p>
<p>Again, we speak in convoluted terms, but we think it is safe to say that this summer there will be a lot of upheavals taking place, upheavals that may seem dramatic to the casual observer, but that to the ones already tuning in to the messages coming in on the airwaves so to speak of these energetic emissions will not be considered as news at all. For you will know in the very center of your being, the part of you that simply knows it all beforehand but has kept it hidden from that perhaps less enthusiastic human part of you, that whatever happens now, does so in order to propel you as fast as possible towards that end goal you so hanker for. In other words, expect much ado about some at times rather small and seemingly inconsequential details in your life, but know that these are merely symbols of the huge shift taking place, both for you and for everyone around you.</p>
<p>For nothing will be undisturbed by the winds that these energetic storms whip up now, and even if your life may not be all <span class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" id=":qo.9">topsy</span>-<span class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" id=":qo.10">turvy</span> at the moment, we venture to guess that you will all in some way feel this wind in your sails making the old anchoring ropes start to creak and groan as the pressure increases. For you will all be shifted in some way, but this is by no means a signal to a total upheaval for all, merely a reminder that any hidden urge to stay as is will now be overwritten by that far more <span class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" id=":qo.27">important</span> calling you all carry within. For change is not always pleasurable, and change does not always come in a neat and well presented package, all tied up and offered to you as a positive tiding. Change may well come in the form of an unexpected event that will serve to literally disconnect you from so much of what you thought constituted YOU. In other words, it may come in a very direct form as a way of literally moving you from one residence to another, or it may come in the form of total rearranging of your emotional and intellectual programming, making everything you thought you knew about yourself and the world around you stand out in a very new way, and this again will help you to make decisions based on the new instead of the old.</p>
<p>This may seem to be a rather over-intense period for many of you, but again, this river of light has carried you all well and truly away from the old shores, and it is pulling you all faster and faster down the rapids. It may seem to be a little bit daunting at times, but again this at times rather forceful current is simply doing what it can to bring you all the way back home, back to you, the real you, and to that space where you can start to act out the last part of this grand adventure of realigning your being and your world in such a way, the light will be continuously shining into and onto every part of it, and through that, remove any and all of those old acquired stains, blemishes and battle scars both this planet and you as human beings have suffered from for far too long.</p>
<p>So again we say, try to enjoy the ride, even if it may get rather “wild” at times, and know that all is well and you are just where you are meant to be at any given time, even if you yourself has lost any sense of <span class="J-JK9eJ-PJVNOc" id=":qo.114">direction</span> at all. For you are being carried within this huge and unstoppable flood of light now, and as the speed and intensity increases, the best you can do, is as always simply to allow it to take you wherever it is it needs you to go. For once there, you will find yourself exclaiming from the very center of your being, “this is it, I have finally made it, I may not have a clear idea just as to how I managed to get to this exact spot, but now that I am here, I know that this is the space for me.” And then, and only then, will you be able to finally take root in a soil that is not only fertile, but more welcoming than you could ever dream of.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font"><b><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">What would a healthy diet based on scientific evidence look like? Rodney Bilton, emeritus professor of biochemistry at Liverpool John Moores University, has spent 15 years finding out - and discovered startling facts about what to eat to be slim and healthy...</font></b></p>
<h2 class="mol-para-with-font"><font color="#00B1A6" style="font-size: 1.6em;">Eat unripe bananas</font></h2>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Green bananas, along with whole grains, vegetables and fibre, all contain resistant starch. This is the most important form of soluble dietary fibre you can eat - soluble dietary fibre is not digested in the small intestine, but is absorbed more slowly further down in the body, where it is fermented by bacteria in the colon to give long-term energy.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Resistant starch is a carbohydrate but, unlike other carbs, its chemical make-up means that it does not cause your blood sugar to rise, so is not a risk for diabetes and it also doesn't cause sugar-crash hunger pangs after eating.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">It also has another slimming advantage in that it stimulates the release of a hormone, glucagon, which boosts the rate at which our bodies burn fat.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Resistant starch is therefore a crucial dietary component for managing your weight and blood sugar, as well as helping healthy bacteria to grow in your large bowel, thereby reducing the risk of colon cancer.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Green bananas are the best source of resistant starch: the less ripe a banana is, the more resistant starch it contains.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">In the Western world we eat on average between 3g and 7g a day of resistant starch. Expert bodies such as the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, the official science body in Australia, recommend eating at least 20g a day.</font></p>

<h2 class="mol-para-with-font"><span style="background-color: #ffffff;"><font color="#00B1A6"><font style="font-size: 1.6em;">Don't mash your potatoes</font></font></span></h2>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Keeping our intake of sugar as low as possible is important for both our waistlines and our general health. While the obvious thing to do is to cut out sugary drinks and processed foods, we should also consider how we prepare healthy foods in the kitchen.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">The way we cook food can alter the amount of sugar released into the blood. For example, 25 per cent more sugar is released from a potato when it is boiled and mashed before eating, compared with cutting it into chips.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Potato and other carbohydrates contain large granules of starch. Heating and grinding - eg, mashing or pureeing - starch granules increases the amount of sugar by breaking open the membrane that surrounds them, releasing starches that turn into sugar.</font></p>

<p class="imageCaption">Heating and grinding - eg, mashing or pureeing - starch granules increases the amount of sugar</p>
</div>
<p></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Anything like this that you do to a food, such as grinding, pressing and even chewing, accelerates the rate at which the sugar is released into the blood. It increases the surface area of the food - making it easier to absorb and increasing the rate of digestion in the intestine.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Similarly, eating an apple whole releases less sugar into the blood than apple puree, which in turn releases less sugar than drinking apple juice, according to a study in The Lancet.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">When cooking a food such as potato, the heat and the amount of water used also have significant effects on the amount of sugar released, the same Lancet study found. The more a starch-containing food such as potato is heated, loaded with water and mashed up, the more easily it will be digested, releasing its sugar into the small intestine.</font></p>
<p><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">And the less manipulated or refined a food product is, the less sugar is released when it is digested. So baking or frying a potato means it will release less sugar than if mashed. </font></p>
<div class="cleared art-ins health"><h3 class="wocc"><b><font style="font-size: 1.4em;">Add water when you fry</font></b></h3>
<div class="ins cleared xolcc bdrcc"><p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Most of us cook with oil, but over heating can break down cooking oils, producing toxic chemicals called lipid peroxides. When eaten, they can react with proteins and DNA - your cells' genetic blueprint - in ways that are believed to increase the risk of cancer and heart disease.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Olive oil, particularly extra virgin oil, is best used as a salad dressing and not in cooking, because it starts to burn at a comparatively low temperature and therefore breaks down easily.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">When frying, a good tip is to emulate the Chinese and add a small amount of water to the wok or frying pan. This lower s the f r ying temperature of the oil to 100c and reduces the amount of oxidative damage to the fat which normally occurs</font></p>
</div>
</div>
<h2 class="mol-para-with-font"><font color="#00B1A6" style="font-size: 1.6em;">Drink water to reduce back pain</font></h2>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">As many as 75 per cent of us may be chronically dehydrated, according to U.S. research.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">This not only affects our waistlines, but our backs, too. Preliminary research suggests that drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80 per cent of sufferers. This is because being dehydrated makes the blood and joint fluids thicker; it also causes crystals of uric acid (a bodily waste substance normally removed in urine) to form in the joints, which can cause gout-like pain.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Drinking water is also a valuable and painless aid to weight loss. Even a mild state of dehydration will slow our metabolic rate by as much as 3 per cent and may play a role in weight gain.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">And every drop of water consumed involves calories being used as the kidneys work to remove the excess water from our bodies. Moreover, drinking water shortly before bedtime has been found to prevent midnight feelings of hunger for nearly 100 per cent of people who were tested, according to Washington University cardiologist, Dr Stephen Sinatra, in his book Optimum Health.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Drinking five glasses of water daily can reduce our risk of colon cancer by 92 per cent, according to a study in the International Journal of Cancer in 1999. Good hydration lubricates our bowels and causes them to move faster.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">This reduces the amount of time that potentially carcinogenic waste products stay in our colon. The same amount of water has been suggested to cut the risk of bladder cancer by 49 per cent, and of breast cancer development by almost 80 per cent.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Good hydration increases blood flow through the liver, helping the body to remove potential carcinogens, which is why it is believed to reduce the risk of bladder and breast cancer.</font></p>

<p class="imageCaption">Vegetarians who consume tofu and bean curd as a total substitute for meat put themselves at risk</p>
</div>
<p></p>
<h2 class="mol-para-with-font"><font color="#00B1A6" style="font-size: 1.6em;">Why you should beware of tofu</font></h2>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Vegetarians who consume tofu and bean curd as a total substitute for meat put themselves at risk of mineral deficiencies because they usually ignore a simple lesson on the way these foods are eaten in Japan.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">These products are made from soy beans high in a substance called phytic acid. This can block absorption of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and especially zinc.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Many scientists agree that diets high in phytates derived from soy have contributed to widespread mineral deficiencies in Third World countries, even in areas where minerals are not in short supply.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">The Japanese avoid this problem by eating tofu alongside soy bean products such as miso (a thick paste used for sauces and spreads) and natto (a strong-smelling, sticky bean product), which have been fermented with strains of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. These bacteria lower the phytic acid content of these foods. </font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Some vegetarians tend to get protein from processed sources such as vegetarian sausages, burgers and other textured protein foods.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Any processed foods labelled as containing vegetable oil will invariably contain partially hydrogenated fats - and traces of transfats - and should be avoided because studies have shown that they increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer.</font></p>
<h2 class="mol-para-with-font"><font color="#00B1A6" style="font-size: 1.6em;">Eat like a Masai tribesman</font></h2>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">For a long time we've been told that too much fat - particularly saturated fat - is bad for health. As a result, many people have tried to reduce the amount they eat.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">This has led to a rise in the consumption of refined carbohydrates, such as white rice, pasta and bread, which can be linked to a sharp rise in obesity - primarily because refined carbs leave us wanting more.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Fat is better at making us feel full - and feel full for longer.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">We respond to low-fat regimens by modifying our diets to eat the amount of calories that make us feel satisfied and which will support our daily energy requirements. Thanks to the low-fat diet myth, we have all gradually increased our intake of carbohydrates to replace the energy lost from consuming less fat. </font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Furthermore, meals high in fat promote the release of the hormone glucagon from the pancreas. Glucagon promotes the breaking down of body fat for several hours after a meal is eaten. This benefits those wishing to slim.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Many human populations eat large amounts of fat and remain perfectly healthy. East African tribes such as the Masai and the Samburus consume up to 400g of animal fat daily. In Britain, 60g a day is thought healthy.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">The tribespeople show low cholesterol levels and an absence of heart disease. When populations of such people migrate to other areas where refined foods high in carbohydrates are consumed, their levels of so-called 'bad' LDL cholesterol rise.</font></p>

<p class="imageCaption">Our bodies have only a limited capacity to deal with high levels of fruit sugar</p>
</div>
<p></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Our bodies have only a limited capacity to deal with high levels of fructose - the fruit sugar found in fruit juices and smoothies, and in high-fructose corn syrup, used as a sweetener in store-bought biscuits, cakes, ice creams and drinks.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">That's because it sneaks past the insulin system.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">High intake of fructose bypasses the body's normal processes of controlling the amount of sugar in the bloodstream - the body produces the hormone insulin to use or store the glucose it gets from food. But high levels of fructose don't stimulate the body to produce insulin and hormones that suppress appetite.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">As a result, fatty substances can build up in the liver, causing them to become enlarged and inefficient, leading ultimately to obesity and type 2 diabetes.</font></p>
<h2 class="mol-para-with-font"><i><font style="font-size: 1.6em;">PS... The only diet tip you really need</font></i></h2>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Understanding how to combat hunger is far more beneficial to slimming and a healthy diet than calorie-counting. Hunger is effectively reduced by modifying your diet to increase the digestion time - this is because the human digestive system has evolved to efficiently and rapidly extract every available calorie from diets that, in caveman times, were often poor in nutrients.</font></p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Our digestions can't work so quickly with nutritious protein and fat. The feeling of hunger following a meal high in protein and fat returns much more slowly than with other diets because fat and protein are digested more slowly and remain in the stomach for longer. Simple.</font></p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>The Luxor Times reports that late in April this year a mysterious subsidence in a narrow suburban alley was drawn to the attention of city municipality workers.</p>

<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>The street had collapsed into a hole dug from inside one of the neighbouring houses.</p>
<p>Only once workers entered the pit did they realise the dig was by illegal looters — and that they had uncovered an ancient construction.</p>
<div class="module image-module module-image-650w1000h id1226981285324"><div class="module-content"><div class="image-block image-650w1000h"><div class="image-frame"><img width="650" height="1000" alt="Egypt: What lies beneath" src="http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2014/07/08/1226981/285324-37ca0114-0625-11e4-8f5c-fd2015ae61d5.jpg"/></div>

<p></p>
<p>Egypt’s Tourism and Antiquities police were summoned, and the diggers arrested.</p>
<p>Egyptologists then set about examining exactly what lay beneath a suburb established in 1935, only some 150 metres from the renown <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortuary_Temple_of_Seti_I" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Temple of Seti I</a>.</p>

<p></p>
<p>After shoring up the entrance and tunnel roof with timbers, a short climb revealed wonderful things. First it was just rubble. Then archaeologists had to dodge a leaking sewage tank.</p>

<p></p>
<p>But a few metres beneath the street and the foundation of the houses were stained limestone blocks, marking the remains of an old wall.</p>

<p>Once the excavators pushed their way inside, they were greeted with the crowded sight of neat rows of ancient hieroglyphs and high reliefs — proudly declaring the memorial chapel as belonging to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentuhotep_II" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II</a> — who reigned about 2046-1995BC.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Few artefacts and inscriptions dedicated to this pharaoh remain. Most are in and around Abydos, Aswan and Thebes.</p>

<p>Mentuhotep II reigned at a time of civil war in Egypt, continuing the fight against Lower-Egypt for 39 years of his reign.</p>
<p>His eventual victory saw him unify the two lands once again, and he was declared the first pharaoh of the Middle Kingdom.</p>
<p>His title means “Horus, he who invigorates the heart of the two lands”.</p>

<p>Archaeologists have since removed the sewage tank — leakage from which was eroding the stone inscriptions — and have begun restoring the room to prevent further damage.</p>
<p>Excavator Ayman Damarany told the Luxor Times: “I expect there would be more to the site and maybe other sites of the era either former or later to Mentuhotep II.”</p>
<p>Further excavation of the site is restricted due to the many occupied buildings above.</p>
