"Cowardice asks the question: Is it safe? Expediency
asks the question: Is it politic? Vanity asks the
question: Is it popular? But conscience asks the
question: Is it right? And there comes a time when
one must take a position that is neither safe, nor
politic, nor popular,... but one must take it simply
because it is right."

With people going their own way and conflicting with
each other, it seems that a time of great crisis is
very near. The world needs change from its roots
upwards. Oh, my children! Youth of the world! Be brave
and courageous and be prepared to face life as it
comes, because as long as there is no fundamental
"root" change in the world, there can be no
improvement.
Oh, brave youth! (It is right to call everyone "youth"
now), go from house to house, in any area, wherever
you live, wherever you go, and give them this message:
"Awake! Arise! And be exalted! Make your life a
success!"
Now the time is very near, there is no time to do
anything else, no time to brood. Wherever you live,
get organized, unite and awaken the people. Show the
Path of Righteousness and Truth to all.
You have to be strong and capable of facing these
coming difficult times. Oh, youth! Remove all
differences from your minds and unite like one great
chain. We have to do good, not bad, for the whole
world. You have to gather your courage, leave behind
the fear of death to face life with hope and courage.
Forget profit and loss - do not be concerned for
praise or abuse - march on! You will have to walk
through the blazing fire; only then can this world be
saved..

There once was a King who offered a prize to the
artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many
artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures,
but there were only two he really liked, and he had to
choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake.
The lake was a perfect mirror for peaceful towering
mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky
with fluffy white clouds.
All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect
picture of peace. The other picture had mountains too.
But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky
from which rain fell, and in which lightning played.
Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming
waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when
the King looked, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny
bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a
mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of
the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her
nest ........... perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize? The King
chose the second picture. Do you know why?
"Because," explained the King, "peace does not mean to
be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or
hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those
things and still be calm in your heart. That is the
real meaning of peace."
OM SHANTI, SHANTI, SHANTI, OM PEACE
Karunamayi has been stressing throughout her tour of
the U.S. how essential it is to say this OUT LOUD and
frequently. She has said July and August are very dark
times, and we should saturate the air with the Mantra.
The world needs healing.
Please go to this website and let the Mritunjaya
Mantra envelop your consciousness.....
http://www.geocities.com/siddhaashram/Mahamrityunjaya.htm
It is repeated there continuously...with very precise
pronunciation. You can also read about its meaning and
purpose.

Hello, Friends!
Remember when we started the "Mritunjaya Mantra" as
soon as we heard about the bombings in London? That is
exactly what they did at this Vigil at Trafalgar
Square!!!
Om Namah Shivaya
Thank you, Babaji, for alerting us to this Divine
Protection Mantra!

London Gathering Hears Hindu Mantra For Protection
www.hinducounciluk.org
LONDON, ENGLAND, July 15, 2005: Yesterday's vigil at
Trafalgar Square in London, marked by a two-minute
silence at noon in honour of those who died in the
terrorist bomb attacks last week, continued in the
evening with a vigil of poems, messages and prayers
from celebrity, political and faith leaders. His
Grace, Richard Chartres, the Bishop of London,
congratulated the Londoners on the maturity and the
resilience they have shown and said a Christian
prayer. The Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sacks, spoke of our
basic human rights and Dr Indarjit Singh from the
Network of Sikh Organizations said that there is no
difference in Hindu, Muslim, Christian as we are all
one family for God. Anil Bhanot, General Secretary of
the Hindu Council UK, then spoke on behalf of the
Hindu community and his speech is reproduced here as
follows:
"Namaste, London. I would like to recite a Vedic
mantra, addressed to Lord Siva, who is the giver of
knowledge that destroys ignorance, the ignorance that
raises its ugly head in extreme cases in the world,
from time to time and last week in London, where
children of the same one God go out to hurt their
fellow beings and that too in the name of God.
Knowledge dictates that to hurt any of your fellow
beings is to hurt God.
I am going to recite a mantra from the Hindu Vedas.
The mantra is called the Maha Martunjya Mantra. It is
a very powerful healing mantra, it is a rejuvenating
mantra, and when chanted with sincerity and devotion,
it creates divine vibrations which ward off the
negative forces and create a positive protective
shield. It has known to cure diseases, declared
incurable by doctors, and has cured people from fatal
illnesses. In everyday life it protects us from
accidents and misfortunes of every kind.
Today I will recite it 8 times for the speedy recovery
of those injured and the salvation of those who
tragically lost their lives last week and if you can
also remember them in the all-pervasive consciousness
seated in our hearts. "Om Trayambkam Yajamahe,
Sughundhim Pushti Verdhanam Urva Rukmev Bandhyanath,
mrityor mokshiyah maamrataat, Om."
Half way through the chanting Mr. Bhanot paused and
said to the 15,000 Londoners, "at this time you are
supposed to join me!", and there was a roar of
laughter, but later he got an email from a member
organization, Pulkit Agarwal, General Secretary of the
National Hindu Students Forum, wrote "I was at the
vigil at Trafalgar Square today and just wanted to
express my congratulations for a very calming and
appropriate speech for the assembled public. There was
definitely a sense of calm and tranquillity after your
recitations, and although you may not have heard, many
people made the effort to chant along."
HCUK is the main representative body uniting over
half-a-million Hindus in the UK. It was established in
1994 by the 30 year old National Council of Hindu
Temples to represent all facets of Hinduism, and the
same mandate was obtained from the UK's Hindu
community over a period of 2 years prior to the HCUK's
launch in November 1994.

Imagine brushing your teeth without toothpaste.
Imagine the toothbrush removing plaque from your teeth
as no other brush or toothpaste has ever done. Imagine
receding gums growing back. Imagine having brighter,
whiter, healthier gums and teeth no matter your age.
Wow
this new toothbrush is an awesome invention!
Congratulations to those who took advantage of our
introductory offer and are already experiencing
greater health as a result! Read on and order yours
now! ***Note: we are having to purchase the brushes
from another source. As a result, the brushes are now
$13 each. These very same brushes are selling for $24
in some parts of the country.
Toothbrush Instructions:
This toothbrush that has been tested by dentists in
the U.S. and Japan with very exciting results. If you
wish to conduct your own test, please talk to your
dentist and design a protocol that will give you a
baseline and then record changes over a 60-day period.
The brush requires no toothpaste. You can use a little
sea salt or a small amount of baking soda if you wish,
but it is not necessary, as water alone is effective.
The occasional use of sea salt or baking soda will
stimulate the gums and enhance the ionic effect.
The bristles and head of the brush should be moistened
with cold water. Then simply brush your teeth
thoroughly for 1-2 minutes, being sure to work the
bristles well along the gumline and inner surfaces of
teeth. Give special attention to any problem areas and
deep pockets. Then rinse with cool water.
The two metal disks in the back of the head create a
strong anti-bacterial action. You may notice a short
period of reaction from your gums when you first start
to use the brush, but this is a sign of healing and
will pass in a few days.
Use the brush at least once a day. (You may continue
using your normal toothbrush and toothpaste as well if
you like.) The brush should last about six months. I
have used one for longer with good results, and have
gone for over six months using no toothpaste at all
with no problems noted by my dentist.
If your dentist does a bacterial test before you start
to use the brush, and then checks again after about 14
days, the findings should be quite clear.
**The brushes are currently priced at $13. Continental

TESTIMONIALS:
Holy cow, I am amazed after using the Ioncare
toothbrush for the first time (with no toothpaste). My
teeth felt cleaner than after a professional cleaning
by the dentist, and I only brushed for about a minute.
No more chemically laden toothpaste or mouthwash for
me!
Lee Placchi 7/6/05, Las Cruces, N.M.
It's day three using the Ion Toothbrush once each
day. Tea and tobacco staining have already decreased
noticeably. The effect is equally apparent on my
porcelain crowns as well as my own teeth. Incredible!
Lee Placchi 7/8/05, Las Cruces, N.M.
"One of my back molars had become very sensitive. The gumline
was receding, and brushing it was painful. After a month of
using the Ion Toothbrush, sensitivity in this tooth has greatly diminished
and the gum recession is reduced!
Lee Placchi 8/2/05, Las Cruces, N.M.
"I wanted to let you know that I had an extraordinary
dental checkup a couple of weeks ago. My teeth were so
smooth, there was nothing to clean, my pocketing
decreased to less than it's ever been, and the gums
were so tight around the teeth in the problem areas.
The hygienist may have already contacted you for more
scientific information on the toothbrush. Also, I
would like to order 2 more toothbrushes."
J.K., Vermont
dear kelley and toni -
i luv the ion toothbrush !~! the very first time i
used it, my teeth felt whiter and my whole mouth felt
very clean. my teeth are definitely cleaner and more
sparkly, too - at least i think they are because i
feel like smiling more. i am using less dental floss
and i definitely do not miss dealing with toothpaste.
i use it several times a day, and have already
recommended it to friends and family. let me know
when you are putting the next order in.

"After using the brush for over 18 months, I'm pleased
to report that at my last exam my dentist was rather
astonished to find that a problematic pocket which had
measured at 9 mm for over four years reduced to 5 mm
within the last 3 months. This was with only
occasional additional use of a Sonicare brush, and
Hydrofloss at home about three times a month. A new
set of X-rays showed no bone loss in four years, and
even some possible improvement in some areas."
A.H., Washington
"We purchased your toothbrush with the metal disks in
2002. We have been using them faithfully, with
wonderful results. Our teeth are in great shape, we
have not incurred any new challenges with our mouth or
teeth, and interestingly enough, it seems that we have
had less illness since using the toothbrush. I don't
know if this is a part of the equation or just a
coincidence. Either way, we love the brushes. The
reason for this email is to request information on how
we can get more of these wonderful brushes. We have
worn ours out and I would like to introduce them to
our veterinarian. He has expressed an interest for use
in his practice with animals. The dogs could get their
teeth brushed without having to put up with
toothpaste."
G.R., Virginia
My own experience is that after my first brush my
teeth felt so wonderfully clean and fresh, just like
that hygienist or dentist cleaned feeling. Two weeks
later at a regular checkup my dentist thought they
were so clean that I didnΉt need any cleaning from him
at all. And I normally have quite a bit of plaque.
After trying one himself for a month he ordered two
more for his family. He is a particularly
well-researched non-amalgam based dentist. His
understanding of the process was that the ionic charge
around the toothbrush head changed the ionic charge on
the tooth surface so that bacteria found it harder to
stick. ItΉs also a relief to have the constant
question of whether itΉs best to have toothpaste with
fluoride or not behind us. And itΉs great to be out
and about and just need a toothbrush and some water to
clean your teeth with. Especially for our girls who
have to clean their teeth after every meal, which is a
challenge at the best of times!
D. R., MD Whangaparaoa, New Zealand
When the new toothbrushes arrived, my 9 year old
daughter got them out and started brushing her
teeth... she got so excited about the fact that she
didn't have to use any toothpaste and as she was
brushing away, she kept making comment about how
amazing it felt... that night she tied up the
toothbrush beside her bed and when I woke her up in
the morning, she was already awake and brushing her
teeth in bed! She didn't like brushing her teeth
before and now she loves it... My wife and myself are
very happy to finally have solved the endless search
for the right toothpaste... we are very happy with the
results we are getting from this new technology. Thank
you for introducing us to this amazing product.
M & A Golden Bay, New Zealand
I got an instant result the first time I used the
ionic toothbrush, I brushed for about 2 minutes and
when I spat out , the liquid was brownish. I was
surprised and looked at my teeth to find them whiter
than they had ever been before ( up until that time I
had been using natural toothpaste with a electric
tooth brush. ) After the 3rd day of using the brush I
noticed that my receded gums on several of my teeth
had grown back up! This was a concern for me,
considering the non-results from my previous
endeavors. I'm extremely pleased with the brush. I
also noticed my breath has changed , having suffered
previously from halitosis. I'm still using the brush
after 1 month and recommend anyone to give it a
go...see for yourself.

The following is an unedited English text as sent from
Japan:
Ion Toothbrush which can be used without toothpaste
Magnesium and Proton Ion Toothbrush for plaque control
has been invented in order for our human being to
enjoy good health and to prevent the environmental
pollution on the Earth. Ion Toothbrush has better
plaque removing potential than conventional
toothbrushes by making use of the electric potential
difference between precious metals and base ones,
which generate both voltage of 0.8 1.8 and electric
current of 20mA 1200mA in the water as well as minus
ion. Bacteria in mouth will be sterilized by voltage
over 1.3, which means electric sterilization effect.
The action of electrons removes dental plaque from
areas where conventional toothbrushes cannot reach.
Ion brush helps remove dental plaque, which causes
tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. We pay much
attention to the fact that over 90% of human being are
annoyed with bad breath due to dental plaque. By using
brush everyday, dental plaque can be removed
completely and our teeth is always white. What is
more, coloring matters on teeth by eating, drinking
and smoking can be well removed. As long as dental
plaque is well removed, we can prevent dental decay
completely. Please keep your mouth fresh by Ion
toothbrush and enjoy the following effects.
1) Sterilization effect
2) The Magnesium and Proton Ion will sterilize many
kinds of bacteria in mouth.
3) The Copper Ion emitted from the metal will prevent
bad breath.
4) Removal of dental plaque
5) Dental plaque, stains and coloring matters will be
cleaned by Hydroxyl Ion H3O2 minus having
surface-active effect.
6) As blood flows well, teethridge will be
strengthened to prevent gum disease.
How to use:
Please wet brush with water before brushing. If you
use toothbrush with salt, it promotes to remove dental
plaque. Toothpaste is optional. Because dental plaque
can be well removed without toothpaste by the
operation of the electric potential difference and
minus ion. But if you wish to use toothpaste, please
use only a little.
Caution
l As soon as the pointed end of brushes is widened,
please exchange it for new one. If teeth are brushed
by widened end of brushes, teethridge will be injured
and inflamed.
l As soon as the metals are removed from the head,
please exchange it for new one.
l Please take care not to swallow the metals put on
the head.
l Please wash the brush in water after use and dry it.
Material
l The handle and head of brush is made of
polypropylene.
l The brush is made of Nylon supplied by DuPont. The
hardness is medium. l Toothbrush can stand the
temperature under 80 centigrade.
Ionicare toothbrushes are currently priced at $13.

I wondered if there could be an actual chemical
causing the massive obesity epidemic, so did a friend
of mine, John Erb. He was a research assistant at the
University of Waterloo, and spent years working for
the government.
He made an amazing discovery while going through
scientific journals for a book he was writing called
The Slow Poisoning of America. In hundreds of studies
around the world, scientists were creating obese mice
and rats to use in diet or diabetes test studies.
No strain of rat or mice is naturally obese, so the
scientists have to create them. They make these
morbidly obese creatures by injecting them with MSG
when they are first born. The MSG triples the amount
of insulin the pancreas creates, causing rats (and
humans?) to become obese; they even have a title for
the race of fat rodents they create: "MSG-Treated
Rats."
I was shocked too. I went to my kitchen, checking the
cupboards and the fridge. MSG was in everything! The
Campbell's soups, the Hostess Doritos, the Lays
flavored potato chips, Top Ramen, Betty Crocker
Hamburger Helper, Heinz canned gravy, Swanson frozen
prepared meals, Kraft salad dressings, especially the
'healthy low fat' ones. The items that didn't have MSG
had something called Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein,
which is just another name for Monosodium Glutamate.
It was shocking to see just how many of the foods we
feed our children everyday are filled with this stuff.
They hide MSG under many different names in order to
fool those who catch on.
But it didn't stop there. When our family went out to
eat, we started asking at the restaurants what menu
items had MSG. Many employees, even the managers,
swore they didn't use MSG. But when we ask for the
ingredient list which they grudgingly provided, sure
enough MSG and Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein were
everywhere. Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's, Taco
Bell, every restaurant, even the sit down ones like
TGIF, Chilis', Applebees and Denny's use MSG in
abundance. Kentucky Fried Chicken seemed to be the
WORST offender: MSG was in every chicken dish, salad
dressing and gravy. No wonder I loved to eat that
coating on the skin, their secret spice was MSG!
So why is MSG in so may of the foods we eat? Is it a
preservative or a vitamin? Not according to my friend
John. In the book he wrote, an expose of the food
additive industry called The Slow Poisoning of
America.
http://www.spofamerica.com/
he said that MSG is added to food for the addictive
effect it has on the human body. Even the propaganda
website sponsored by the food manufacturers lobby
group supporting MSG at:
http://www.msgfacts.com/facts/msgfact12.html
explains that the reason they add it to food is to
make people eat more.
A study of elderly people showed that people eat more
of the foods that it is added to. The Glutamate
Association lobby group says eating more benefits the
elderly, but what does it do to the rest of us?
'Betcha can't eat just one', takes on a whole new
meaning where MSG is concerned! And we wonder why the
nation is overweight?
The MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts
people to their products. It makes people choose their
product over others, and makes people eat more of it
than they would if MSG wasn't added. Not only is MSG
scientifically proven to cause obesity, it is an
addictive substance!
Since its introduction into the American food supply
fifty years ago, MSG has been added in larger and
larger doses to the prepackaged meals, soups, snacks
and fast foods we are tempted to eat everyday.
The FDA has set no limits on how much of it can be
added to food. They claim it's safe to eat in any
amount. How can they claim it is safe when there are
hundreds of scientific studies with titles like these?

Yes, that last study was not a typo, it WAS written in
1978.
Both the medical research community and food
"manufacturers" have known MSG's side effects for
decades!
Many more studies mentioned in John Erb's book link
MSG to Diabetes, Migraines and headaches, Autism, ADHD
and even Alzheimer's. But what can we do to stop the
food manufactures from dumping fattening and addictive
MSG into our food supply and causing the obesity
epidemic we now see?
Even as you read this, George W. Bush and his
corporate supporters are pushing a Bill through
Congress, and it's called the:
"Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act" also
known as the "Cheeseburger Bill". This sweeping law
bans anyone from suing food manufacturers, sellers and
distributors. Even if it comes out that they purposely
added an addictive chemical to their foods.
Read about it for yourself at:
http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/8458081.htm
Last month the House of Representatives passed the
"Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act" to
protect the food and beverage industry from civil
lawsuits. Under the measure, known as the
"Cheeseburger Bill, "people who buy food or drinks
couldn't sue the companies that made them, the stores
that sold them or the restaurants that served them if
they got fat from the products, so long as the
products met existing laws. The Senate is expected to
take up a similar bill later this year."
The Bill has already been rushed through the House of
Representatives, and is due for the same rubber stamp
at Senate level. It is important that Bush and his
corporate supporters get it through before the media
lets everyone know about MSG, the intentional Nicotine
for food.
Several months ago, John Erb took his book and his
concerns to one of the highest government health
officials in Canada. While sitting in the Government
office, the official told him "Sure I know how bad MSG
is, I wouldn't touch the stuff!" But this top-level
government official refused to tell the public what he
knew.
The big media doesn't want to tell the public either,
fearing legal issues with their advertisers. It seems
that the fallout on the fast food industry may hurt
their profit margin.
So what do we do?
The food producers and restaurants have been addicting
us to their products for years, and now we are paying
the price for it.
Our children should not be cursed with obesity caused
by an addictive food additive.
But what can I do about it?
I'm just one voice, what can I do to stop the
poisoning of our children, while guys like Bush are
insuring financial protection for the industry that is
poisoning us.
I for one am doing something about it. I am sending
this email out to everyone I know in an attempt to
show you the truth that the corporate owned
politicians and media won't tell you.
The best way you can help save yourself and your
children from this drug-induced epidemic, is to
forward this email to everyone.
With any luck, it will circle the globe before
governments can pass the Bill protecting those who
poisoned us.
The food industry learned a lot from the tobacco
industry.
Imagine if big tobacco had a bill like this in place
before someone blew the whistle on Nicotine? Blow the
whistle on MSG.
If you are one of the few who can still believe that
MSG is good for us, and you don't believe what John
Erb has to say, see for yourself. Go to the National
Library of Medicine, at:
http://www.pubmed.com
Type in the words "MSG Obese", and read a few of the
articles for yourself.
We do not want to be rats in one giant experiment, and
we do not approve of food that makes us into a nation
of obese, lethargic, addicted sheep, waiting for the
slaughter.
Put an end to this, and stop the Slow Poisoning of
America. Let's save our children.
John Erb

Just six minutes of intense exercise a week does as
much to improve a person's fitness as a regime of six
hours, according to a study.
Moderately healthy men and women could cut their
workouts from two hours a day, three times a week, to
just two minutes a day and still achieve the same
results, claim medical researchers.
The two-minute workout requires cycling furiously on a
stationary bike in four 30-second bursts. Professor
Martin Gibala, the author of the study, said: "The
whole excuse that 'I don't have enough time to
exercise' is directly challenged by these findings.
This has the potential to change the way we think
about keeping fit.
"We have shown that a person can get the same benefits
in fitness and health in a much shorter period if they
are willing to endure the discomfort of high-intensity
activity."
The study, published in this month's Journal of
Applied Physiology, involved 23 men and women aged
between 25 and 35 who were tested to see how long it
took them to cycle 18.6 miles. The subjects, who all
did some form of regular moderate exercise, were then
given varying exercise programs three times a week.
The first group cycled for two hours a day at a
moderate pace. The second group biked harder for 10
minutes a day in 60-second bursts. The last group
cycled at an intense sprint for two minutes in
30-second bursts, with four minutes of rest in between
each sprint.
At the end of the two weeks each of the three groups
was asked to repeat the 18.6 mile cycling test. Every
subject was found to have improved to the same degree.
Further tests showed that the rate at which the
subjects' muscles were able to absorb oxygen also
improved to the same level.
The key findings in terms of overall health showed
that the two-minute workout produced the same muscle
enzymes - essential for the prevention of type 2
diabetes - as riding 10 times as long. That is
significant in the light of growing levels of
unfitness. Obesity has trebled in Britain since 1982,
leading to a rise in type 2 diabetes. The Department
of Health estimates that unfit Britons cost the
country £2 billion a year in the treatment of heart
disease and other related illnesses.
Prof Gibala, of the health department of McMaster
University in Ontario, Canada, said: "We thought there
would be benefits but we did not expect them to be
this obvious. It shows how effective short intense
exercise can be."
The Sunday Telegraph put the new methods to the test
by asking three employees of the Reebok Sports Club in
Canary Wharf, London, to compare the workouts.
Angie Du Plessis, 35, who rode for 10 minutes in
60-second sprints, said: "It felt like I had just done
an hour's run. It was more than I was used to but I
feel more exhilarated because it was so intense.
"To be honest, it was not much fun and unless I was
really pressed for time I would not change my exercise
regime."
Chris Mackie, 23, tried the two minutes of cycling in
30-second super-bursts and found he was exhausted very
quickly. He said: "I overworked myself well beyond
what I would normally do. I can't believe it. All my
energy drained so quickly.
"It was torture, really, but I was amazed at how short
a time it took me to tire myself out completely. I
didn't enjoy it but it felt like it worked."
Jules Wall, 27, who rode for 45 minutes at a moderate
pace, insisted that she had also received a good
workout. She said: "I am not sure I would want to go
through the pain of 30-second sprints."
Our guinea pigs were all quite fit. The authors of the
study caution that anyone considering taking up
cycling or running at breakneck speeds should first
consult their doctor or a fitness instructor.
David Crottie, a fitness expert for Reebok, was
confident that the program would be effective for
anyone with the correct preparation: "We have never
tried it to this intensity before but I agree with the
findings.
"Most people do not want to do it because it is so
uncomfortable, but for those willing to endure the
intensity it would work."
Jonathan Edwards, the Olympic triple-jump gold
medallist, said: "Everyone seems to be short of time.
If people could get fit in a much quicker period I am
sure that would encourage more people to do it.
"Going for a 40-minute run is not for everybody. The
idea of going and doing a short intense workout would
appeal to people and help them to embrace a healthier
lifestyle."

The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month,
Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that
will culminate in the closest approach between the two
planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may
come this close is in 2287. Due to the way Jupiter's
gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its orbit,
astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come
this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it
may be as long as 60,000 years before it happens
again.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars
comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be
(next to the moon) the brightest object in the night
sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will
appear 25.11 arc seconds wide. At a modest 75-power
magnification.
Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked
eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of
August it will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach
its azimuth at about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two planets are closest,
Mars will rise at nightfall and reach its highest
point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty convenient
to see something that no human being has seen in
recorded history. So, mark your calendar at the
beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively
brighter and brighter throughout the month.
This is an event not to miss. Tell everyone you know
and then pay attention to the effect this has in your
life. Mars is the war planet. What will you
consciously choose to do with this energy?
Wow! Toucan Market is a unique experience. With so
many food stores having closed in our city, we were
wondering what would come in to replace them. It has
been a pure delight to have this very special grocery
store open in our community. We were pleased to find
organic meats, produce and other fun products. There
is a large assortment of cheeses and fresh baked
breads. The owners, Robert and Joan Bauer, are warm,
friendly people from the community, ready to respond
to their customers needs. Lets support this local
grocery store.

DANCING WITH DEATH THRU SENILITY INTO ETERNALITY
by
Young Toni Delgado
What will we be able to teach our children and our
grandchildren when we learn to conquer old age and the
unconscious death urge? What will be the focus in our
lives when death
the inevitability of death no longer
sucks us dry with fear? What will the earth be like
when our awareness raises us to a new level of
understanding and our bodies respond in kind?
We have been conditioned to believe that senility is a
frightful place because we believe it is the end of
our productivity as a being. We believe it is the
experience that precedes death and we are loathesome
to it. Senility can come to an individual at any time
in their lives. It does not just occur to the elderly.
It can happen in your thirties or younger.
What is important to know is that it absolutely can be
overcome! I have done it! Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray
and others have done it. Leonard says that senility is
the final exam of the human condition. That sounds and
feels right. You must however, have the tools and
psychological preparation to outlast it. Read my book
and learn how.
Order your book today online at barnesandnoble.com or
amazon.com or borders.com or iuniverse.com Ordering

Las Cruces, NM can buy a copy at Hastings.
