How To Enter And Feed Your Brain

Your Brain is the friendliest organ you have. Unfortunately, you've never learned how to enter her world to share her GREAT WISDOM with you. Your Brain is very important because it is the center of consciousness. Consciousness is what defines your present reality based on the efficiency of your sensory organs. In order to Enter and Feed Your Brain you need to know how it works.

First we begin by entering your Brain. How do you know if your brain is functioning properly if you cannot get into it, test, and tune it up. There is means to get you where you want to go, no Shrink or Brain Surgeon necessary. The Dohgon BSI Test is your Brain Ship, or call it Brain rocket to jettison you into the deepest unexplored layers of your brain.

The Dohgon BSI Test is the essential system because it stimulates your brain to function with what the Dohgon describe as DUALITY Communications. DUALITY Communication causes your 2 brain hemispheres to acknowledge what’s external to you and what has always been internal to you. Now, discover what’s always been internal to you in order to make relevant with what’s currently external to you with the following:

Who Am I?

What’s My purpose In Life?

What’s My Responsibility as A human?

Am I Sincere about My Actions?

Am I Exploitative of others Weaknesses?

Am I always Thinking only about Myself at the expense of Others?

The purpose of the BSI test is neurological. It will discover the state of synchronicity between your 2 brain hemispheres. Take a look at the 2 brains above. This test about discovering the problems that affect your mind is a very easy test. You will perform this test in your own kitchen or living room. The test is repetitive at 3 levels, with each level rising to a more difficult level of challenge.

Think of your stria that connects both brain hemispheres as your shoe laces. The shoe lace is a communicator. Its purpose is to ensure that each foot is adequately secure within the confines of each shoe. The tight feeling you get when you tie your shoe laces reassures your safety and enhances your ability to perform properly on your feet. In effect, your shoe laces communicate synchronized sensory feeling within each foot.

Once this feeling is accepted, you can now walk, run, dance and perform many tasks without worrying about tripping and falling. If you do not tie your shoe laces properly, you know that sooner or later, you'll be tripping. This will make you uncomfortable, unstable and anxious. Imagine this type of feeling and many more that you get with loose stria nerves between your brain hemispheres.

Take the BSI Test to discover how these features have been permeating within you for all your life. The SOLUTIONS are in your hands. STOP covering your back and START exposing your moral CONSCIENCE. Request the BSI Test and discover whether your stria nerves which connect your 2 brain hemispheres, are tight or loose. Only then can you begin to learn how to feed your Brain.

Terrorism

Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

Terrorism is classified as the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. By using terrorism individuals and/or organizations attempt to bring light to a political cause, end an economical condition, or to resist an opposing religion or ideology.

Terrorists believe that they have no alternative options to counter what is usually a very larger opponent such as the government, a financial institution, or a Religion. I liken it to the "Davis and Goliath" scenario in the bible. Terrorists often have no problem killing and maiming random civilians at random places and at random times to achieve their goal or give publicity to their causes. In return, terrorist believe the publicity resulting from the act will cause more violence and uprisings. Eventually, terrorists believe this will force changes in favor of their political, economic, or religious views.

Political terrorism usually takes place within the confines of a country. Different political organizations develop differing political views as to where the country should be going. Lines are drawn between conservative and liberal socialist ideology. One usually blaming the others for the state of the country's poor economic and social condition. Propaganda fuels disdain until someone snaps and takes matters into his own hands. The terrorism can take the form of an assassination as with (JFK) or the bombing of a government building as in Oklahoma with Timothy McVeigh.

Economic terrorism occurs as an opposition to capitalist ideology. It can take place anywhere in the world and against a particular country, a Financial organization or a company. The most infamous case of economic terrorism is 911 but there are others like Oil pipeline bombings in Nigeria, and mining company bombings in south America. On Sept 11 2001 the Terrorist organization Al-Queda led by Ben Laden organized a major economic statement against the center of world capitalism, the twin towers that housed the World Trade Organization. Since then Al-Queda has vowed to attack every symbol of US imperialism anywhere in the world and has been affective or thwarted on several other occasions.

In most middle eastern countries where Islam is the major religion the country is politically subjected to strict religious and social laws. Western culture is frowned upon. Over the past 25yrs the world has changing through the insistence of Globalization. Major western corporations want into the middle east but religious fundamentalists want them kept out allowing only the oil giants to operate under strict guidelines. Over time small but well funded Islamic fundamentalist groups like Al-Queda who dislike increasing economic and cultural influence into Islamic regions have taken up the cause for the defense of Islamic values.

In Nigeria the the Oil company Shell has been the victim of several terrorist attacks over the years. tribal groups who are in opposition to the exploitation of their lands have blowing up the pipe lines that carry oil from the inland refineries to the coastal ports where the oil is loaded onto tanker ships. The conflict came about mainly because the government of the country does not adequately compensate the tribes with some of the billions of dollars that they get from the oil company. The oil company therefore bears the brunt of the terrorism while the government army is relegated to being a security force for them.

In South America where mining and farming have become major industries the native people who have been pushed off their lands further and further into the jungles are using terrorism to fight back. Not surprisingly the major companies hire ruthless security henchmen as counter measure. These henchmen have been known to massacre whole villages in a reverse terrorism stance. The severe brutality of their acts are used as a deterrent to other disgruntled tribes.

Religious terrorism is arguably the most dangerous of the three major forms of terrorism. It started thousands of years in the middle east and is the product of festering grievances between Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Religious ideology can be considered a step-father of the others because it can and does greatly influence ones political and economical views. The more religious a person is the more conservative he tends to be and the less religious the more Liberal. Conservatives are usually upset about the moral principles in relation to the lifestyle of a people and culture.

For thousands of years there have been brutal wars between the Jews of Israel and their surrounding Arab neighbors. Over time the Jews became fragmented and most were either driven out or voluntarily re-located into Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States. After the events of WW2 where aprox 2 to 5 million Jews in Europe were killed by Hitler the United Nations re-drew the map of the middle east and gave Israel back to the Jews. The Palestinian people who were inhabiting the land were pushed out to accommodate the repatriating Jews. Not surprisingly conflict imminently flared up and the UN had to support the Jews with arms to defend themselves.

The Jews who were like "David" soon became the "Goliath" of the middle east and by the 70's they were considers one of the most well armed country in the world. They still boast their own Nuclear arsenal that could obliterate any of their Arab neighbors within the blink of an eye. The Arabs, most of which are now Muslims turned to terrorism to get back at Israel. One of the most infamous incidents occurred in Munich during the 1972 Olympic games. 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team were taken hostage and eventually murdered by Black September, a militant Palestinian liberation group.

Over the years numerous acts of terrorism has been perpetuated by other religious organizations such as the IRA in Ireland but it is the Islamists that have found it to be an effective tool. For them the promise of martyrdom and eternal life at the side of God makes it easy to blow themselves up along with as much enemy as possible. With each act Muslims in the middle east and other parts of the world have become increasingly sympathetic and emboldens to the cause of their fellow Islamic brothers.

Most view the case of the Palestinians as western hypocrisy and an injustice. Although many also viewed Saddam Husein as a tyrant and a brutal dictator they also feel that America didn't take him out to help the Iraqi people but rather to get further control of middle eastern oil. Today they continue to carry out terrorist acts against each other because of tribal divisions and for betraying Islam by being sympathetic to the foreigners.

America and every country worldwide have become nervous, guarded and suspicious of it's own citizens which means that terrorism works to a certain extent. Terrorism it self was not started by Muslims and will not end with Muslims. As long as there are people who feel that their cause is worth killing for then terrorism will always exist. We can slow it down but realistically speaking I don't believe it can ever be prevented.

Black History Month 2010

Image by T U R K A I R O via FlickrSo it is the month of February, the shortest, coldest and some say the most depressing month of the year. Well at least up here in Canada. Anyway, February has been designated as Black History month or African Heritage Month in some circles. I like the latter because I feel that the word heritage allows people to connect the culture they currently practice to their African lineage. Many of us born in the west can't associate with African cultures anymore. It also negates the argument that there is no such thing as Black History. To add to that many Blacks have become so genetically “washed-out" that they don’t even identify with being Black anymore but that’s a different story.

We have probably become the most fragmented race on the planet. Islanders fight against other islanders, African countries fight against each other and, even separations along religious lines are tearing countries apart. American Blacks can't associate with Blacks on the continent and even worse is the animosity between light skin and dark skin. I associate all these problems with a basic lack of knowledge. That is why a designated month of reflection is important for those of us who are Black to take stock and for those who are not to recognize our contributions to society.

Black History month was founded in 1926 by United States historian Carter G. Woodson as "Negro History Week". Woodson chose the second week of February because it marked the birthdays of two Americans who greatly influenced the lives and social condition of African Americans: former President Abraham Lincoln and abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglas. The tradition has grown and expanded to other countries including England and Canada.

While BHM is widely celebrated by many it has unfortunately met opposition among some Black who say African history is world history, we don’t need a month segregated from the rest. I say it is needed for the simple fact that Blacks have been explorers, scholars and conquerors throughout history yet many people do not know since most Black history has been omitted from mainstream historical records. I hear people even stating that Blacks have contributed nothing of worth to note.

Patents don’t lie and while most patents do not mean that the holder was the first to invent a device it recognizes a significant improvement to the idea that existed before. Black inventors have obtained many patents of note including improvements to the traffic light, the blood bank, and gas masks to name a few.


Last week I attended the official launch of Black History Month in the City of Ottawa at the Library & Archives of Canada. It was a tight well orchestrated two hour event attended by the Mayor and a few other dignitaries which included representatives from many of the various consulates in the Black Diaspora. It featured performances by local poets and musicians along with the presentation of achievement awards to outstanding members of the community. I was happy to be in attendance.

My heritage goes back to the island of Jamaica in the Caribbean. I identify myself as Black and my lineage is African. I do have some English heritage however as part of the remnants of slavery going back five or six generations. When the first European explorers stumbled upon the island in 1492 there were inhabitants already there. These people were of Native American lineage called Arawaks. Their generosity in welcoming the Europeans was reciprocated with colonization.

Most of the natives were turned into servants and slaves or died from European diseases while those who resisted were either killed or fled the island. Over time the Europeans brought slaves which they either captured or bought from Africa to replenish the dwindling native population. They were used in full force to grow and maintain the local agriculture that fueled a booming European economy. There were many bloody slave revolts on the island. Many slaves escaped the plantations and found refuge in the forests and mountains of Jamaica, some with the help of the Arawak Indians.

Many escaped slaves were later re-captured and taken to Nova Scotia, Canada in 1796, and later exiled from there to Freetown, Sierra Leone in West Africa. The remainders of these escaped slaves maintain a proud heritage up until this day and are known as Maroons.

Slavery in Jamaica was abolished in the mid 1800’s but the island remained a British colony until the early 1960’s when it finally gained its independence. Today Jamaica is still not a republic but remains a part of the British commonwealth  with the queen of England as its head of state.

The knowledge of African Heritage is important to blacks in many ways. In an era of continuous change where people are migrating and adapting cultures to assimilate; it is imperative to be grounded by the knowledge of ones self. As a tree cannot exist without roots one cannot properly determine ones direction unless he/she knows where he/she is coming from.

AIDS Conspiracy

Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

Is the AIDS epidemic just a profitable business project developed by the largest pharmaceutical companies and corrupt officials of international medical organizations Or is it a biological weapon intended to cull selected populations? Whatever it is there is a growing number of doctors with decenting opinions as to whether pharmaceutical companies are truly pursuing a cure.

HIV and AIDS have been a plague on society for over 30 years now. Although the disease wasn’t originally discovered in the early eighties, that is the period that it came to prominence as a potential mass killer. Almost immediately after it’s awareness came stigmatization toward the communities that it seemed to inflict the most. Gays, Black, and drug Addicts bore the brunt of that stigmatization. That is mainly because the rates of infections in those communities were statistically higher.

In the Gay community the disease seemed to spread like a wild fire. So did far fetched explanations as to the reasons. People quickly attributed it to the wrath of God instead of analyzing the free wheeling lifestyle practices of most Gays. Intravenous drug users experienced a similar fate also. Since I am neither Gay or a drug user I will focus on that which I am familiar with which is the Black experience.

In the Black community HIV and AIDS was spread rapidly due to ignorance of its severity and a lack of access to proper health care. Blacks became stigmatized as the originators of the disease by way of Africa when mainstream media began to report that researchers working in the jungles of Africa stumbled upon the deadly virus.

They reported that the HIV virus must have been passed from monkeys to humans through sexual contact. If it was passed from monkeys to human it most likely occurred by the consumption of the animal’s meat but I guess that was too logical and quickly dismissed for more sensational and racist reasons.
Blacks counteracted by accusing the government of trying to kill them off. A claim that is totally unfounded but not discounted due to many examples of past indiscretions.

Perhaps the most famous of which being the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, a 40-year government study in which 399 Black men from Macon County, Alabama were deliberately denied effective treatment for syphilis. In fact, the United States Public Health Service went to extreme lengths to ensure that they would not receive any treatment, in their words, "in order to document the natural history of the disease."

The Public Health Service leaders excuse was that with the advent of antibiotics, no one would ever again be able to trace the long term effects of the disease. The affects of Syphilis was able to be studied on how it affected the entire community over the 40-yr period. On May 16, 1997, President Bill Clinton apologized in a White House ceremony for the experiments.

Another incident occurred in 1963 when the United States Public Health Service, the American Cancer Society, and the Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital of Brooklyn, participated in an experiment where physicians injected live cancer cells into twenty-two chronically ill and debilitated African American
patients. The patients did not consent, nor were they aware that they were being injected with cancer.


During the 1970s, the government collected blood samples from seven thousand Black youths. Parents were told that their children were being tested for anemia, but instead, the government was looking for signs that the children were genetically predisposed to criminal activity.At least eighty-two "charity" patients were exposed to full-body radiation at the University Of Cincinnati Medical Center. The patients were exposed to
radiation ten times the level believed to be safe at the time twenty-five patients died. Three-quarters of the patients in the study were Black men and women. The consent signatures were forged.

Countless other experiments have been carried out within the prison system also. One unscrupulous doctor was even over heard saying,

'Criminals in our penitentiaries are fine experimental material and much
cheaper than chimpanzees." 

Given the history of deceit between Blacks and the “system” it is not hard to imagine why many people continue to believe that AIDS is just another conspiracy.

America's Health Care Dilemma

Image via Wikipedia

Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

America’s health care dilemma is about to come to a dramatic conclusion within the next few hours. Senators in Washington are set to cast their votes on president Obama historic health care bill that promises to provide access to affordable healthcare for approximately 30 million un-insured citizens.

Conservatives who have been dead set on killing it from the start have been whipping their supporters into a heated frenzy in all facets of society. For months the offices of democratic senators were bombarded with letters, phone calls, and even threats in relation to the Bill.

On right wing radio I heard Limbah say “We have to kill it before it gets passed or we won’t be able to touch it afterwards.” While many people side against it for political and ideological reasons there are many others who simply tag along for more frivolous reasons such as, they just don’t like Obama.

America’s health care system is arguable the best in the world. It functions on a system developed through Capitalism and Free Enterprise. The problem is it is vulnerable to corruption in many ways. There have been many cases of people losing there coverage if they are chronically ill. Some people have to mortgage their homes in order to pay their high hospital bills. There are still others who have to make heart wrenching and unethical decisions as to whether they should keep their severely ill family member on life support or lose their life savings in paying the medical bills.

The main characters in the health care system are; Doctors, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance companies. All the main players have become tight partners in exploiting the public’s health issues. While some conservatives might agree to this to a certain extent their main issue is excessive government involvement in one of America’s key liberties, free enterprise. They believe that companies should be allowed to make a profit without the government trying to socialize how they operate. If people cannot afford health premiums they need to take it upon themselves to do better in life. Improve their education, get better jobs, stop complaining and stop relying on government hand outs.

Doctors are well educated, highly paid, and do a very good job but unfortunately most are at the mercy of the system they work in. Most doctors prescribe and administer drugs provided by the hospitals they work for. The hospitals have deals with selected pharmaceutical companies. These pharmaceutical companies provide an array of drugs and medical supplies to the hospitals. They develop drugs in their own facilities and by aligning themselves with universities around the country where they do research and development. New drugs are often tested in these schools and in the hospitals they partnered with.

Insurance companies are singled out as the bad guy in the whole system. When someone with insurance gets treated in the hospital, (usually the hospital that the insurance company deals with) the insurance company picks up the bulk of the bill. Insurance companies have thousands of clients paying anywhere from $200 to $2000 per month depending on their coverage. Most people are covered through the companies they work for. The company covers part and the employee picks up the rest. A select number of others are covered by the government through medic-aid. The government also picks up the tab for uninsured emergency care that people cannot afford to pay for out of pocket.

The problem with the health insurance industry is that most insurance companies have turned into unethical money hungry monsters. They collect money from people for years to provide assistance in times of illness but when that assistance cuts into their profits they look for ways to dump their problem clients or deny coverage.
Insurance companies see their targeting as unjustified. They argue that high premiums are often the result of abuses in other areas. $30 for one aspirin for example is the result of the hospital knowing that a patient’s health insurance will pick up the tab. Their excuse is that everyone else inflates their prices so they have to keep up by hiking premiums.

Whatever the outcome of the vote, Americans can look forward to continuous debate and animosity surrounding the whole issue of health care. If passed it will bring many needed changes to the health care industry. Socialist or not, one thing is clear, peoples lives should not be treated as a commodity.

HAITI

The devastation currently affecting the nation of Haiti is heart wrenching. Thousands of lives were lost within minutes of the powerful earthquake. Countless more people are severely injured and psychologically and emotionally scarred for life. I personally know many Haitians and I have even traveled there in the year 1999. Through the past week or so I have been in contact with some of those people. I have also been searching my memories to recall some images of the places and things I experienced.

Upon arriving at the Port Au Prince airport ten years ago I immediately became familiar with the similarities of the Caribbean lifestyle which was not much different from my own island of Jamaica. It was a bustling environment made up of aggressive baggage handlers and taxi operators. Our pre-arranged pick-up saved us  a lot of time and hassle which enabling us a quick checked out of the airport. As someone new to the environment I couldn't help gawking at everything I saw however. I had heard so many stories about Haiti, some true and others far fetched but I came expecting any and everything.

The roads were half decent and most cars were fairly modern American, European, and Japanese. What surprised me were the amount of high end SUV's such as Isuzu troopers, Toyota Land Cruisers, and Jeeps. The people who had money obviously had plenty of it and lived in lavish homes in the hills overlooking the city. The dwindling middle class was trying to hang on for their dear lives while the poor were destitute.

 Port-Au-Prince was a very overcrowded city at that time and was getting worse by the day. Thousands of people pored in yearly from the countryside to seek better opportunities in the big city. Many of whom end up living in slums or on the streets. I saw semblances of what used to be affluent neighborhoods with beautifully built homes behind concrete and iron fences. But sadly, along some roads outside the gated larger homes squatters built small shacks. It was explained to me that these shacks were built by people who recently came into the city and cannot find places to live.

The land along the road is government land so squatters build their shacks there and it's hard to move them. This problem came about through a spirit of socialism encouraged by former president Jean Bertrand Aristide who stated that all the land of Haiti belongs to the people. Most upper class people do not subscribe to that philosophy so they began plotting and conspiring on ways to oust him from office. Aristide was eventually ousted by foreign intervention mostly by the US who did not like the idea of more socialist regimes within the Americas.

Aristide was kicked out but conditions never improved. With over 50,000 people per year flooding into the city from the provinces every year how could it. Open sewers ran along most streets and huge open dumps added to the bad smell and poor sanitary conditions of the down town. Huge pigs roamed the open sewers rummaging for food to eat.

Public transit took the form of modified pick up trucks and mini vans that were well over
loaded. Benches are welded into the backs of these pick-up trucks and a make shift canopy is added over the top. They looked very dangerous to me but most people young and old had no problem cramming into them. People even stood on the bumpers as long as they found a secure place to hang on for a usually bumpy ride. The mini vans were no different in terms of the amount of people willing to cram inside. Most of these buses were elaborately painted with murals on the sides while the backs were reserved for Jesus beautifully painted with flowing blond hair and blue eyes.

I have nothing against religion except when it is over done and this was a perfect example for me. I could write a book on why I feel it is psychologically wrong to portray an image that has no similarity to the people all over the place. From what I know about Jesus he was a Middle Eastern Hebrew with bronze skin and curly woolly hair. Europeans re-made him in their image to strengthen their faith. When different cultures adopt Christianity why don't they have a more self representative image of Jesus. I don’t think you can find a blue eyed blond haired Jesus anywhere in Latin cultures.

Haiti is very religious Christian based country with Catholic being the main denomination. There are religious symbols everywhere. Everyday as I walked past many churches and other make-shift places of worship I could see and hear prayer services going on. With the level of poverty evident the people have no choice but to have faith. My problem with relying on faith alone though means that you accept your bad condition as God's will.

The house I stayed in was a solidly built concrete two story house on a back street. It had
all the fixtures of a modern house except water pressure. At one time there was water and sewer service but in recent years as infrastructure deteriorated the houses along that street lost their water service. The water source was now a single standpipe down the road. Every morning large buckets of water had to be collected and brought up to the house for the daily usage.

It sounds bad but after awhile I got used to soaping myself up then scooping smaller buckets of water from one of the big bucket that was kept in the bath room then pouring it over my head to wash off. As far as the toilet, well you simply do your business then pour in some water to wash it away to wherever.

Mornings I would go out onto the 2nd floor veranda of the house to watch the activities in the street below. Vendors would regularly pass in the morning heat displaying their wares in baskets on their heads. They would walk the streets for as long as it took to sell their items. There were fresh fruit and vegetables, ground provisions,  bread and baked goods, and even fresh fish and meats.

Anything you can go to the market to get you can expect these guys to have available at your door step. School children were my favorite to watch though. They flooded the street everyday decked in colorful uniforms of all combination to represent the schools that they attended. They reminded me of gold fishes the way they were varied and properly composed.

Electricity came and went at will but most people didn't care. Many people had gas powered generators. As soon as the electricity would cut off these noisy beasts would power up like clock work. Most people were respectful at night to turn them off though. Then kerosene lamps and candles would light up the darkness. At night when I ventured out the streets were almost as busy as the day.

Most shops were closed but people still walked about as if they had important places to go. With the amount of people and the lack of lighting I couldn't help thinking that this place should be more violent than it was but it wasn't. The people were generally very friendly and hospitable. Every home that I went to the people greeted me physically instead of just verbally. Men shook my hand while women young and old gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. That was just the tradition for ages.

I do not speak French or Creole but In general I had a great time in Haiti. I went to beaches and visited historical sites steeped in tradition and colonial history. Only afterward did I reflect on the one stereotype that had spooked me the most before I went. Haitians are known to practice witchcraft in the form of voodoo but I saw no evidence of it while I was there. It was explained later that such things are mainly practiced by country folk.

Haitians have been hardened by many hardships so I am certain that they will rebound from this current one. I offer my sincere condolences to the people of Haiti in their hour of tragedy. Gather strength and have faith that the human spirit of kindness and compassion will pull through to provide a helping hand. You are a strong and resilient people.

Kosovo Apocalypse

Click edit above to add content to this empty capsule.

death is a horse
a characteristically terrifying horse
railing, trampling, nostrils flared and blowing
teeth exposed, seemingly to mock the agony of death
only frozen in time,while at the same time
inviting conversation of me
rule #1, never stare too long,
access and move on

I turn my face to the sky as if to ask why
only to be greeted by hurricane force rain that pound
at the speed of sound, tearing flesh from bone to expose
images more terrifying than a wild horse
as it came railing, trampling, nostrils flared and blowing
teeth exposed, seemingly to mock the agony of death
only frozen in time, while at the same time

time drops to slow motion
and the shallow echoes in the distance
pop-pop.... pop-pop-pop
resemble horse's hoofs against the
marble tiles at the entrance of my church
I lower my head so my helmet blocks the rain
I clear my eyes and plant my feet firmly in the tiles
it's putrid smell fills the air, finger on the trigger
I hold my breath and turn
to meet it as it came

railing trampling, nostrils flared and blowing
teeth exposed, seemingly to mock the agony of death
and I'm ready for it this time
but I awake in a cold sweat
still a slave to distress
.....in my mind

One morning some years ago I awoke with this in my head. I have re-worked it many times since then but the theme remains the same "death is a horse".
