Founder of BioGeometry, Dr. Ibrahim Karim, explores the hidden reality of Ancient Egypt, linear vs non-linear perception, and how to tap into a multidimensional state of consciousness. The conversation explores the concept of sacred power spots and their significance in ancient civilizations. These power spots, such as temples and pyramids, were built on top of natural springs and energy vortexes. The ancient builders understood the importance of harnessing life force energy and creating a connection between the power spot and the cycle of life. On Dr. Ibrahim Karim's desk is an abstract figure with the inscription “Only those who see the invisible, can do the impossible”. Chosen by his youngest daughter Doreya, it is the best description of him. What started off as an occasional gathering of friends grew over twenty years into a weekly pivot in the lives of many people of different ages, religions, professions, social background and nationalities. Unstructured lectures and dialogues about almost any subject, where Dr. Karim believed that he has learned as much as he has taught his holistic approach which he calls the BioGeometrical Way; a new and expanded world view; equally scientific and spiritual in essence. In his own words “to be truly holistic it must incorporate anything and everything”.BioGeometrical shapes interact with Earth's energy to produce a balancing effect on all energy levels of biological systems. Research into shapes of body organs led to the discovery of the relationship between of organ function, energy pattern, and shape. These patterns called “BioSignatures” produce, through resonance, a balance of energy and immunity that support orthodox and alternative medicine.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS00:00 - Dr. Ibrahim Karim Intro00:40 - Multi-Dimensionality and Ancient Civilizations04:36 - Sensory Perception and the Projection of Reality08:11 - Linear Time, Cause and Effect, and Multidimensional Existence13:01 - The Dual Souls of Modern Humans16:48 - Sacredness of Animals in Ancient Egypt23:46 - The Great Shift: From Right Brain to Left Brain Perception25:59 - Ancient Egypt's 50,000-Year Legacy34:44 - The Neteru and Materialization of Gods in Ancient Egypt42:52 - The Role of Water in Sacred Power Spots51:18 - Evolution of Sacred Architecture into Pyramids56:11 - The Freemasons and Sacred Builders01:04:58 - The Birth of Biogeometry: Practical Science of Life Force01:07:02 - The Vortex: Accessing Multi-Dimensional Energy01:10:26 - Real-World Applications of Biogeometry 01:19:46 - Amplifying Pyramid Energy with Visualization01:29:05 - The Importance of Letting Go of Ego01:34:48 - The Universal Mind and Human Intention01:47:05 - Achieving Inner Balance Through Acceptance01:54:46 - Amplifying Life Force Energy Through Excellence01:58:15 - Dr. Karim's Message to Future Leaders___________________Guest: Dr. Ibrahim Karim, BioGeometry ® Website | https://www.biogeometry.ca/homeYouTube Channel | @BioGeometry Courses & Events | https://www.biogeometry.ca/courses-eventsBioGeometry ® Products | https://www.biogeometry.ca/biogeometry-products Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/ibrahim_karim_biogeometryHost: Emilio OrtizInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/Subscribe to YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtiz Watch Emilio's latest series on 4biddenknowledge TV l https://bit.ly/AwakenThe6thSense___________________Special Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal

"Planet of Giants" Production J October 31 - November 14, 1964 The second series begins with a story intended for the show's premiere. An accident on board the TARDIS shrinks the time travellers to one inch in height. Can they make their way back to the TARDIS while dealing with a giant murderer and an inseciticide that can easily kill them? Podcaster John S. Drew and writer/editor Jim Beard join forces once again to become the masters of time and space as they watch and review every single episode of the Classic Doctor Who series. In this episode the two discuss the switching roles of Barbara and Susan, the lack of interaction between the main cast and guest stars, and the design of the insects in the episode.

Ann O'Delia Diss Debar was a medium and a fortune teller who was once described by the famous performer Harry Houdini as, quote, “one of the most extraordinary fake mediums and mystery swindlers the world has ever known.” She made her name -- well, her many names -- as a spiritualist with occult powers, but she was 100 percent fraud. And from 1870 to 1910, she bilked people for millions of dollars around the world.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“I wondered if [people] weren't psychic because they didn't have the ability, or because they didn't want to have it.. Later I'd come to understand how negative behavior and thought patterns block people from their psychic sense.” - Sonia Choquette, Diary of a Psychic The focus? Multidimensionalism. (Thank you, Umberto Di Grazia) Let's talk paranormal. My connection with the energy of the nightlight and other guardian spirits and guides has given me plenty of opportunity to see into realms I could not have imagined. I did have a jumpstart that ticked one box on the paranormal anomaly chart, Heygo, my 'imaginary' childhood friend. (Gnome. Materialization.) As an adult, a memorable haunted site? Laughing ghosts at the Stanley Hotel. The happy atmosphere of that haunting and their jovial presence was a surprise. I visited for a brief walk-thru in 2008. Black Jack Battlefield - Baldwin, KS. - Recent paranormal engagement. This turned out to be a (very) crowded venue - presenting multiple elements: shadows, voices, and visual impressions from overlapping historical timelines. --- The Stanley ghosts made it clear that the perception of ghosts as being stuck may not apply in every case. They certainly had no desire to leave their space and gave me a song in parting to impress upon me that "goodbye" is not an ending. Bubbles in the Wine... closing lyrics for The Lawrence Welk show: "Good night, good night until we meet again Adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen 'til then And though it's always sweet sorrow to part You know you'll always remain in my heart Good night, sleep tight and pleasant dreams to you Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true And now 'til we meet again Adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen. Good Night!" Lots of fun and laughter echoing from The Stanley. I was assured a return visit would be welcomed. Have I been back? No hurry. I've blogged about my experience at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado. Post 1 = Link. Post 2 = Link. The blog that triggered this conversation: Multidimensionalismo. Umberto Di Grazia. Featured in the Jonas Elrod Film: Wake Up! FYI - Chapman University Survey 2018 - The most common paranormal belief in the United States is that places can be haunted by spirits (57.7%), followed closely by the belief that ancient, advanced civilizations, such as Atlantis once existed (56.9%). More than two out of five Americans (41.4%) believe that that aliens visited Earth in our ancient past and more than a third believe aliens are visiting now (35.1%). Source.

RJ and Elle dive back into the world of Necromancy and discuss victorian and turn of the century mediums. Materialization is the psychic or paranormal ability to give spirits and entities physical form. Ectoplasm was a theoretical substance that would physicalize psychic power or energy. Psychics were rumored to excrete this substance whenever they were manifesting spirits. Mediums have used this theory in their shows and would have streams of ectoplasm leaking from their ears, nose, and mouth. Eva Carieariee was one such medium who was known for her scandalous shows and ectoplasm materialization. Another medium they discuss is Helen Duncan, who's ectoplasm antics led her to becoming that last person ever to be convicted of Witchcraft. Elle ends the episode by performing a medium reading for RJ, who vigilantly watches for signs of Ectoplasm.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mancy)
We open with Priyal Manjari Reib (BT's wife) describing a recent dream initiation, after which BT and his old friend Joe Zabinski reminisce about 1999-2002 era HOMSI, discuss Cultural Polarization, Black and White Tile, The Parable of the Cave, Alchemy, Idealism, the Nature of Inspiration, Morality, Dogen's Shobogenzo, Iranian Polar Bears, Material vs Spiritual, Materialization of the Spiritual and Spiritualization of the Material, Enlightenment, Unenlightenment, Episcopalianism, Conspiracism, Cult-Survivor Trauma, and a lot of other things.
Why do states of fakeness, artificiality, and unreality of this material world arise? Why has the system been failing lately (hovering of objects and birds in the air, cars collide with invisible obstacles)? Why does our brain constantly draw extra details to a situation? Microchipping: is it true that John the Theologian mentioned it? Prescience, predictions. What is their essence? States of dreaming, of a controlled dream: what actually happens? Why is everything perceived absolutely logically and realistically while dreaming, and why doesn’t a person even have critical thinking in a dream towards his unreal actions? The state of hypnosis: how do third forces impact Personality, and how does Personality perceive? Materialization of creatures, spiritualistic seances, creation of energy phantoms: truth and fiction regarding these phenomena, consequences of these actions, and the ultimate outcome for the executor. The tough truth about metaphysics in a person’s life. A human being from the perspective of Personality: how Personality itself perceives the world during the existence of a body and an energy structure. How does Personality perceive the world through primary consciousness? A human being from the perspective of subpersonality: how a person perceives himself after the death of his body, the destruction of his energy structure, and the transfer to the state of information. Why after resuscitation and experiencing clinical death people talk about various states they have experienced. What stages does a person go through when he is breaking away from his physical body?

A Journey Through Time… Examining Past Lives, Reincarnation, and the Materialization of our Present Realities Author and peace activist Dena Merriam's new book “My Journey Through Time” tells the story of how the events and people she has encountered in life served to awaken memories of past births, memories that help her to understand her current life and provide spiritual direction and guidance. As she remembered past teachers and loved ones, she realized that the most important message is the continuation of these relationships through time...through death and rebirth. The body may perish, but love continues, only to be reawakened at another point in time. We meet old friends again and again in different forms and situations to continue what was left unsaid and undone. Join us for an enlightening conversation on bridging our past and present life experiences. Dena Merriam is the Founder and Convener of the Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW), bringing spiritual resources to address critical global challenges, such as conflict, social justice, and ecological scarring of the earth. Over the years she has worked to bring greater gender balance and balance between the Abrahamic and Dharma-based religious traditions for a more inclusive interfaith movement. Merriam served as Vice Chair of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and Spiritual Leaders, held at the United Nation in New York in the year 2000. She subsequently convened a meeting of women religious and spiritual leaders at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, and from that gathering founded the Global Peace Initiative of Women in 2002. Among GPIW's many programs is the organization of a session on the inner dimensions of climate change at the annual UN Climate Summits. In 2008, Ms. Merriam was one of the founding members of the Contemplative Alliance, which later became a program of GPIW, to explore how meditation and contemplative practices are reshaping the spiritual landscape of our societies.

Woo Woo Warning: This episode contains Metaphysical themes, and mild mind-altering processes. Listener discretion is advised.It’s the end of 2018! Did you do everything you wanted to do, or do you have a few “To-do List Leftovers?” If you have a few left overs, they are there for a good reason. You simply didn’t have enough room to do more... Or did you? Pauline and Rae will help you to know what to do with your “To-do List Leftovers” so they don’t become your 2019 left overs. As a bonus (at the end of the rolling credits), if you’re into manifestation (and who isn’t? Well, Pauline isn’t, she prefers Materialization... and she'll explain why in this episode). Pauline has recorded a Guided Materialization to help you get set up for success in 2019. Sit back, relax and listen to Pauline’s Hollywood Australian accent as you drift off and create your best year yet! (Note: Don't listen to this bonus recording if you are driving or operating heavy machinery)
In this episode, the group is set upon by a Spirit.. or is it a spirit? Well, lets find out, shall we?

The emergence of event-driven architectures, automation of business processes, drastic cost-reductions in sensor technology, and a growing need to monitor IT systems (as well as other systems) due to legal, contractual, or operational considerations lead to an increasing generation of events. This development is accompanied by a growing demand for managing and processing events in an automated and systematic way. Complex Event Processing (CEP) encompasses the (automatable) tasks involved in making sense of all events in a system by deriving higher-level knowledge from lower-level events while the events occur, i.e., in a timely, online fashion and permanently. At the core of CEP are queries which monitor streams of "simple" events for so-called complex events, that is, events or situations that manifest themselves in certain combinations of several events occurring (or not occurring) over time and that cannot be detected from looking only at single events. Querying events is fundamentally different from traditional querying and reasoning with database or Web data, since event queries are standing queries that are evaluated permanently over time against incoming streams of event data. In order to express complex events that are of interest to a particular application or user in a convenient, concise, cost-effective and maintainable manner, special purpose Event Query Languages (EQLs) are needed. This thesis investigates practical and theoretical issues related to querying complex events, covering the spectrum from language design over declarative semantics to operational semantics for incremental query evaluation. Its central topic is the development of the high-level event query language XChangeEQ. In contrast to previous data stream and event query languages, XChangeEQ's language design recognizes the four querying dimensions of data extractions, event composition, temporal relationships, and, for non-monotonic queries involving negation or aggregation, event accumulation. XChangeEQ deals with complex structured data in event messages, thus addressing the need to query events communicated in XML formats over the Web. It supports deductive rules as an abstraction and reasoning mechanism for events. To achieve a full coverage of the four querying dimensions, it builds upon a separation of concerns of the four querying dimensions, which makes it easy-to-use and highly expressive. A recurrent theme in the formal foundations of XChangeEQ is that, despite the fundamental differences between traditional database queries and event queries, many well-known results from databases and logic programming are, with some importance changes, applicable to event queries. Declarative semantics for XChangeEQ are given as a (Tarski-style) model theory with accompanying fixpoint theory. This approach accounts well for (1) data in events and (2) deductive rules defining new events from existing ones, two aspects often neglected in previous work of semantics of EQLs. For the evaluation of event queries, this work introduces operational semantics based on an extended and tailored form of relational algebra and query plans with materialization points. Materialization points account for storing and maintaining information about those received events that are relevant for, i.e., can contribute to, future query answers, as well as for an incremental evaluation that avoids recomputing certain intermediate results. Efficient state maintenance in incremental evaluation is approached by "differentiating" algebra expressions, i.e., by deriving expressions for computing only the changes to materialization points. Knowing how long an event is relevant is a prerequisite for performing garbage collection during event query evaluation and also of central importance for developing cost-based query planners. To this end, this thesis introduces a notion of relevance of events (to a given query plan) and develops methods for determining temporal relevance, a particularly useful form based on time-related information.
