Dear Laura,

Yes you are correct that Chrome is still regarded as beta, but so too was GMail for around 2 years after its release, yet millions of people were using it by then even though it could only be subscribed to through referral.

You see the point is Google will not call anything "finished" until it is perfect. There are countless software producers I could name that release "finished" software that is full of bugs - so they can get the money coming in - and then release a never ending string of updates or "service packs". For example, there has never been a bug free, "finished" version of Windows ever since the day it first appeared as "Windows" 1.0 in 1985, for which I was a tester. Before Windows Vista they had "fixes" and "service packs" which although sounding useful were just huge packages of fixes. Vista now hides this through Windows Update which is crucial to anyone with Vista.

Windows Vista was supposed to be the final Windows I think they said, but Windows 7.0 will be with us maybe next year.

Windows was unsupported for the first 11 years, and in 2000, and in 2003, but you can now get support over the phone if you give them your credit card number first.

I don't know how Google will release their online software, but it will probably be free and impressive.

Google do not need to make money quickly - they make billions per quarter already - they are only interested in perfection.

Google are far and away the most ethical technology company I have ever seen in over 30 years, which is another reason I support them.

If websites you visit do not display in Chrome, then the websites are broken plain and simple. because Chrome, being developed from scratch, displays HTML and objects such as Javascript properly, whereas IE and Firefox are broken.

Contact the webmaster and tell them to fix their sites

All my sites display in Chrome perfectly.

Again - I know I might sound protective of Chrome, but given that I have no involvement with it at all, I know that Chrome is going to be hugely important in future, and I want to be part of it and start getting the benefits Now.

IE and Firefox will probably go the way of all those old search engines that most people won't remember.

That said - Chrome is open source, so I expect Firefox to use the Chrome source code and be sort of "Firefox Chrome", but IE will never do that because Chrome is the vehicle through which Google will attack and probably take out Microsoft office and many other products.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Dear Melody,

I am pleased you found my post to be useful - I honestly had no intention of writing all that, but sometimes I just can't stop But only is something needs to be said.

I really believe that the vast majority of PC users have no idea what is out there.

In addition to my local filters, I have a whole server that does nothing at all except process email for my family, cooper.net domain. That server literally does nothing else at all, and of course the overwhelming majority of main is directed to my address.

My server based defences use almost the entire power of that one server to process mail that one email address. When you consider that many servers host thousands of email accounts with power to spare, that will give you some idea of what is sent to my email address. The overwhelming majority is spam. The server probably blocks up to 10,000 spam messages per day directed at my one email address.

Another 500 to 1000 spam messages make it to my PC - usually because they have been put together in such a way that even my Bayesian algorithms doesn't see them as spam. Bayesian algorithms have a powerful set of rules that already block mail, but it is also artificial intelligence of sorts that learns as spam arrives, and creates filtering rules dynamically to stop more and more spam, and also to identify changes in spam structure.

Of the spam that does make it to my PC my mail filtering usually deletes about 90% so in the course of the day I might actually have to see about 100 spams. I just see them as spam without even opening them and just delete them.

My server also filters messages with viruses, and I almost never see anything that could contaminate my PC - I know what they look like anyway, so I just zap them.  Very few attachments make it through with some unavoidable exceptions, but they are the ones that claim to be purchase receipts, UPS tracking numbers, e-greetings cards and so on, so I just have a good laugh at how inept they are and zap them as well.

The reason I get so many messages - as well as the hundreds per day of real ones - is because my email address was created nearly 13 years ago, and is on just about every spamming list in the world, several times over.

In addition, in the early days of the Internet, I was a notorious "spam site buster" and tracked down and had exterminated many spam sites . So there are plenty of people out there who still remember, and don't like me very much Some of the anti-spam defences widely used today had my direct input in to them back then.

But as you can see - as well as my services that everyone sees, newsletters, websites, forums etc, and the private messages I answer, behind the scenes, is a very advanced "engine" that needs to be maintained just to keep everything running smoothly.

On the cookies - cookies in and of themselves are generally useful, because they save you time when you return. For example, if you arrive at these very forums and do not need to login, it is because the forums have placed a cookie in your cookie folder that contains your encrypted login details. Most websites use cookies for various reasons are are legitimate.

Tracking cookies though can actually track your web browsing activities, and there is no justification for that, which is why A Squared flags them as potential trojans. 

The trojans in the zip files were probably from email attachments or free or trial software.

Which leads me to mention another major attack direction that I did not mention before.

Many, many free software and utilities that can be downloaded contain one or more trojans. As I think I mentioned - Limewire was notorious, although that can be considered as karma All of those fancy emoticons that talk to you when you land on a website are deadly - leave well alone. Most free screen savers - like the ones with those nice fish tank scenes will tank your PC sooner or later

The reason so much software is free is because the creators of trojans pay the software makers to include the trojans in the install program so they get installed when you install the utility or free software. This is what pays for the "free" software.

My advice there is if you see some free software you fancy proceed as follows:

1. See if it has a paid "upgrade" to a professional version etc. They are almost always safe, because the objective there is to impress people so much with the free product, they will upgrade to the "full" version.

The most famous example of this is WinZip. Incredibly useful and not even restricted as a trial version, but I always pay for the full version, because for the sake of $39 or whatever, it is worth many times that.

2. If there is no such update then run a Google check by entering the: product name virus trojan.  Replace the product name with the actual product name, but then a space and word virus then space and word trojan.  If the product is unsafe, and known malware, then plenty of people will have been hit by it before and said so in forums, blogs etc.  Google is your friend  - use it.

3. If you still end up downloading the software, before you install it, load A-Squared, download the latest signature file, and run it. You can probably check that one file.

Never assume anything or be in too much of a hurry to download something that looks too good to be true - because it will be.

As for the files quarantined by A-Squared - just delete them all immediately. It won't affect your PC and no point keeping them.

Trojans don't slow modern PC's down that much because the PC has so much power.  If there are enough trojans on your PC to slow it down or uses much bandwidth - you are in big, big trouble.

I set-up the initial Internet infrastructure for our local telecommunications company. I keep seeing all sorts of anomalies and slow downs across their network, so I ring them to find out what is happening, and it turns out that there are so many trojans and viruses installed on PC's connected to the broadband network, 50% of the bandwidth - and we are talking hundreds of megabits per second, is being used by trojans and viruses installed on PC's and the PC owners have no idea.

One of my son's friends brought a laptop along that was running slowly and erratically, and when he switched it on I could not believe what I actually saw installed, never mind what was running in the background.

He had about five "toolbars" installed for a start which took up about half the browser screen - he said when they "appeared" he thought it was someone being helpful Almost all "toolbars" that appear except for Google and Yahoo are seriously dangerous trojans.

At the final analysis it is all about common sense and asking yourself if something looks plausible.

In any case, make sure Windows Defender is activated, make sure Windows Automatic Update is activated, make sure that when it says their are new updates ready to be installed you install them before doing anything else, and make sure you run E-Squared every day after downloading the latest signature file, and always after downloading any file you are not certain about.

Those simple things alone will keep you out of the vast majority of trouble.

It is a dangerous 'net out there.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

 

Dear Melody,

Thank you for a very balanced and informative post.

Much of what you say I would agree with, but at the same time we need to be careful about "putting 2 and 2 together to make 5".

As the saying goes which applies to many situations "absence of evidence does not necessarily mean evidence of absence".

It is absolutely true that DNA can be manipulated, modified, morphed and even created - and there are many ET races out there, as well as on Earth even now that can do that - and do.

It is also true that in our pre-intervention state our genetics contained many more strands of DNA in the helix - possible 12, 10 of which were probably removed by ET's the direct result of which was to cut human conscious connection with Source, so humans could be controlled and manipulated. At the same time humans evolved to the potential of the current level, but only with specific abilities necessary to the ET's while ensuring humans could not draw power from Source.  I must add that none of this is proven, and all evidence is entirely circumstantial.

However - you have no doubt heard about the "activation" of the missing strands of DNA. This is possible because of the Principle "As Above, So Below" or rather "As Within, So Without". Organic matter associated with the human body can be converted - it can never be destroyed as Energy - and that includes DNA. The missing strands still exist in the Energy Body - the physical body being a reflection of the Energy body - the reason why Energy based healing works - use the Mind to heal the Energy body, and and the physical body will reflect that.  This is also why amputees feel a "phantom limb". The phantom limb is the Etheric equivalent which can be sensed only in the absence of the physical limb.

Regarding fossils - there is no way in my view they have been faked. Fossil appear when they erode out of the ground in areas corresponding to the strata of the era in question. This is an ongoing process. The vast majority of fossils have yet to be discovered because they are still beneath the ground embedded in rock, often hundreds of feet beneath the Earth. There is a small island off the south coast of England, the Isle of Wight,  where every winter, when there have been storms, fossils around 120 million years old weather out of the cliffs - and we are talking about large quantities of very big sauropods, as well as carnivores - the entire eco system of the time. People walking along the beach find huge fossil footprints so heavy they cannot be lifted.

So I am sure that evolution proceeded naturally until between 4 million and 600,000 years ago, because the ET's had no use for taming dinosaurs or the early mammals. The early hominids were the first opportunity for intervention by genetic manipulation.

So we need to keep a balanced, informed perspective based upon what evidence we can verify.  ET intervention cannot be verified, although there is still a "missing link" somewhere in the human family tree.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Hello Ew1G,

Google Chrome is great but without plugins (such as AdBlock+ and DownloadHelper for Firefox) it couldn't get much success.

Keep in Mind that Chrome is still in its earliest stages. It does include an advanced "API" which programmers can use to create "add-ons" far in advance of Firefox. In fact this is one of the main reasons they created it - to "add-on" entire suites of online equivalents to Microsoft Office.

With Chrome, the objective is, anything you use PC software for now, you will be able to do online with Chrome, and probably at no cost, and the software will always be up to date - no more endless "upgrades" to pay for.

The applications you mention are useful, but totally trivial to Chrome.

This is Google we are talking about - they really are brilliant in seeing where the Internet is going and get there first, always being "first to market" and de-facto industry leader. They employ thousands of PhD's literally, but they do not work in some stuffy formal corporate environment, the "Googleplex" is unique. All the employees are equal, they go in tee shirt and jeans, they take their pet dogs and let them play around the offices, they have all the facilities you can imagine including a free gourmet restaurant, and of course stock options worth millions. Probably 75% of the people at Google are multi-millionaires.

Whereas money should not be an issue, the point is that these people are so massively incentivised and empowered that they never think of it as "work", they simply do and enjoy the environment and do what they are passionate about - creating next generation technology to empower people through the Internet. 

And as we know, when we do things we are passionate about, anything is possible - and there are tens of thousands of highly qualified, motivated and passionate people at Google doing just that.

I have been in the technology industry for 30 years, and have predicted the future of many companies - in both directions - in my view Google is only just getting started.

Now they have the search industry, webmail industry, online video industry and a few others completely, they are now after Microsoft, and it would be a very brave person to bet against them.

Chrome is the software that will lead that campaign, which is why I am using it now rather than having to move to it later - even now it is way ahead of any other browser out there.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Dear Melody,

Trend is possibly the best anti-virus solution, but nowhere near as good for trojans. The reason is that the way anti-virus software works is to sort of disassemble the compiled code and look for known patterns called "signatures". They also look for known subject lines, and strings of words in the content, but virus makers automatically scramble those now to make it much harder. But Trend keep on developing to keep up, and they do quite a good job. The danger is that even Trend do not know about a new virus until it is what is known as "in the wild", by which time millions of PC's have already been infected, and then it takes a few more days to update the virus signature file.

Even then people do not bother to update their signature files, just like they don't backup their files. Most people treat PC's like cars - providing they get in, start the engine and they can drive to the destination - they are happy. It is only when they have not bothered to service it, top up the oil and water, or battery, and they get in the car and either it does not start or blows a piston, or the head gasket etc, they blame the manufacturer for making unreliable cars.

Or it's like the parents who do not place their children is rear seat belts, thinking they are safe because they are in the back, not understanding the laws of physics which state that if you hit something at 60MPH, the kinetic Energy is transferred to everything in the car, including the child who is launched forward at 60MPH, and when their child goes through the windscreen and is killed, or in to the driver or passenger so both are killed, they sue the car manufacturer for making "unsafe cars".

The point I am making is that most people seem to think these things magically look after themselves, and are never prepared to accept responsibility for their own actions.

People who do not update signature files are the same. They install Trend or whatever, never bother to update signature files, and when they catch a virus - or usually lots of viruses, or "virii", they say that "Trend is useless" and switch to something else where the cycle repeats itself.

Therefore the best anti-virus solution for the PC is Windows Defender which is built in to Windows Vista. Assuming you have Windows Automatic Update switched on, and don't ignore the "new update" messages because you want to get to bed, it will not only keep Windows updated and secure, it also automatically updates the Defender signature files, making them as "human-proof" as realistically possible.

Trojans are entirely different. You really need a dedicated anti-trojan program, and A-Squared is the best. You still need to run it every day though and accept the prompt that a new update file is available.

Then you need to consider what each type of attack is for.

Virii are usually designed to cause damage - either instantly or at a pre-determined date - Friday 13 and April 1 are common.

When a virus strikes, Windows is so severely compromised that the only solution is to reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows, your application software, and then all your valuable data which you should have backed up.

Almost every day someone sends me a message, sometimes up to 5 people per day, asking for the products to be re-sent - which I always do of course - because they caught a virus which wiped their system out completely, and when it comes back from the PC repair shop all they have is a newly installed Windows and nothing else.

Common sense is also important. These are the two really big risks:

1. If you receive a file with an attachment that you were not expecting, and you open that file - it is too late - reinstall Windows is the only option. Even Microsoft Word files can cause havoc because they can contain macros which do the damage.

This sort of attack is extremely common, and the messages always disguise the file as something plausible like a purchase confirmation, legal contract variation, and the latest flavour is a UPS tracking number.  These attacks use the law of averages whereby at any given time someone will have purchased something online, or be using a delivery service - particularly at Christmas. Others disguise themselves as e-greetings cards, which most people fall for because they like to think someone has made a kind gesture - and thousands of others.

If you open and run any such attachment it is game over - your PC is totally compromised.

So again - if you receive an attachment in an email, and you were not expecting it, delete the email instantly.

2. Phishing. This one is massive, and millions of people have lost a lot of money.

These are the emails that masquerade as being sent from a major bank, or PayPal, or more recently Google Adwords, eBay is another, saying that your online service has been upgraded in some way, or very often "we have been monitoring online accounts for your safety, because we believe in customers staying safe, and have noticed unusual activity on your account. If you have been travelling that would explain it, but if not your account has been compromised and will be suspended for your own safety unless you login and confirm your bank details".

So you click the link and are taken to a site that looks like your normal login for that site, enter your user name and password, and then nothing happens. What has really happened is that you have just provided cyber-criminals with full access to all your money which they will then transfer to an offshore bank account. You will not notice until you login or receive a statement to find all your money has been stolen.

These criminals send billions of emails for each bank, knowing that although most people will not use that bank and just think the email is a "mistake", there will always be a percentage that do use that bank, and they are so used to going to a familiar login page and entering their user name and password, they do it Subconsciously, and unless they realise it, they will lose their money.

Bank accounts lost $3.5 billion this year alone due to phishing.

If you think you have been caught out, which should be obvious when you don't get anywhere after entering your details, don't worry about looking "stupid" or "inept" - pick up the phone, phone the 24 hour emergency number, tell them what happened. They will suspend the account until you have been issued with new security details.

Phishing messages are usually obvious because they have been written in "pigeon English" or using very bad and unprofessional grammar" - because they mostly originate in Russian block countries, China, or Turkey, and the phishers are much better at writing computer code than in High School English.

Trojans are similar in that they are not malicious.  As the name suggests they are designed to install themselves on a PC and send information to the hackers, usually to gain access to your PC, or often as part of their "owned network" to attack other PC's from.

This happens to Internet servers as well. Hackers create what are known as "Root Kits" that, once installed, allows the hacker to gainn the highest level access to the server. Once they have that access they create innocent looking folders called for example "images" and install their own attack software. They hijack PC's and servers so they cannot be traced.

What then happens is they launch an attack, which then creates havoc for a day or so until the origin of the attack is traced, after which the hosting company closes down the website and bans the webmaster from their service, or in the case of a PC based attack, the Internet Service Provider will suspend or terminate the account of the hijacked customer. They never ask questions because the web host or ISP is legally accountable for all consequential damage originating from the attack, which could put them out of business - and in fact has in several cases.

The hackers then simply move on to the next server or PC they have hijacked - and they have an open ended choice.

Another server side attack is to use the server to host pornography - and I mean really nasty hard core pornography that they cannot legally host anywhere else. They create download directories - the server equivalent of PC folders, many levels deep so the webmaster is not aware of it. They then upload their porn - and much of it is beyond porn - it is for example video of live "executions" by people by hard right fascist organisations of a member of a racial minority. Sometimes it is gruesome torture followed by murder, often it involves homeless children and so on. Suffice it to say it is the darkest extreme of humanity.

So here is a webmaster with a blog which he and his wife put online to show their family holiday snaps, while not having any idea that they are hosting something at the opposite extreme.

of course they get shut down very quickly, and banned from the host - assuming they don't get prosecuted - but the damage has been done, and the hackers just move on to the next server - send all of their perverted "clients" - often tens of thousands of them - an email with the next URL where they can download their "material" and so it goes on and on, because there are more "amateur" webmasters out there than professional ones - and there is nothing wrong with being an amateur webmaster.

The biggest issue is that 99.99% of people that host websites, blogs etc, simple hire a "hosting account" to upload their files to. They have no idea that the version of WordPress or other php/mySQL based application thay theu auto-install through Fantastico  - a hosting utility that makes it easy - is insecure, and hackers have used a process known as "XSS" - "cross server scripting" to hack their site.

I own my own servers and manage them from the Linux command line. I have a whole arsenal of defences installed. For example - if a hacker attempts to "brute force" an access account, my software monitors the IP address of the attacker, and after 3 hack attempts it automatically blocks the IP address of the hacker, and sends me an email with their IP address and other details which I can use to have them shut down - which usually means some innocent webmaster - but I have an obligation to protect Internet users generally, and cannot accept responsibility for an amateur webmaster who has been hacked.

These hackers, and also a growing group of hackers in their teens - most of whom are brilliant programmers if only there abilities were better directed - called us experienced server administrators as "script kiddies" -  write Linux programs - called "scripts" - that run 24 hours per day scanning millions of IP addresses per day for known, or sometimes as yet unknown vulnerabilities, and when their script finds such a server or PC it automatically installs the trojan or root kit and notifies the script kiddie or hacker who then add it to their list of "owned" PC's or servers. Script kiddies do not usually carry out attacks, they usually sell hackers lists of compromised servers or PC's.

And even all this is just the tip of a very deep iceberg. This goes on and one with the hackers forever exploiting the latest vulnerability. Often they monitor sites that report vulnerabilities as "user advisories", and when a vulnerability is reported the hackers or script kiddies write an attack program to exploit that vulnerability before Microsoft or whoever get round to fixing it. This is because software companies are usually large and have management structures where they like to have meetings to discuss these and what to do, before getting the OK from their managers, and finally directors - because vulnerabilities are embarrassing and they like to keep it quiet - like Microsoft do with automatic update - in the meantime the hackers and script kiddies have created a hack in hours and exploited a few million more servers or PC's.

There is much more I could say, but I cannot because I would be revealing some of the deepest counter measures I and other administrators use.

I know this has been a long answer to a short question, but I hope it gives you some idea of what we are up against, especially administrators like myself who carry the ultimate responsibility for security, and are not expected to get it wrong.

If this has scared anyone reading this I make no apologies - hopefully you will make you more aware of your responsibilities to other Internet users as well as to yourself.  As a web user or even webmaster, you have no real concept of what we adminstrators are up against - and that is in addition to managing our own websites and other resources.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Dear Laura,

Dear Adrian

Oh, wow Google come up with a browser..where was I? For sure I will download it I am curious how pages render, and make sure to let you know.

They sure did

I cannot take IE of Firefox seriously now - this truly is the next generation of browsers - and I use it exclusion of any other browser now.

I can imagine many people not using it at first because it does not look all flash like Firefox or IE - but that is a trap many fall in to. Google are very smart people. They know functionality is what matters, not the glitzy wrapping.

When Google search engine was launched it was a seach box on a white page with a logo - an still is. Look what happened to all the other search engines that were also "portals". They have mostly failed, been taken over or have no market share. 70% of all searches take place on Google because it is very fast and very accurate.

Then they launched GMail which was very basic indeed compared with the all powerful Hotmail and it's glitzy interface. A year later and GMail was the new standard.

Google Chrome will be the same. It will take some time for people to get used to it and then everyone will use it.

Webmasters now have finally realised that simple and functional is best - not a work of art. All of the top websites are mostly white with the content on it. The new MySpace site, inside, only has a thin blue bar at the top of the page and nothing else.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Dear all,

For a few weeks I have been extensively testing the new Google Chrome brower:

I recommend that you download it and give it a good testing.

http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en-GB/features.html

My view is that it is the next generation of browsers which, in true Google tradition, will most likely become the standard. I fully support all Google do - they are far and away in a class of their own right now in everything - they do not release anything that does not take that application to a new level.

As with all Google applications Chrome is designed to get the job done - not look flashy - and get the job done it does:

1. Very fast. It loads pages far faster than other browsers - especially pages with Javascript - which is being increasingly utilised and will continue to be so, as well as pages with lots of graphics.

2. Integrated malware defense - blocks "drive by" trojans and pop-ups which pretend to be useful.

3. The address bar is also the search bar. If you need to search for something, just enter the search phrase instead of URL.

4. The tabs are totally separate, so if the site in one tab freezes it will not freeze the browser. Also, if you click for another tab, it displays thumb nail graphics of your most used sites.

5. You can store your favourite sites across the top in the bookmarks bar for easy one click access. You can also import all of your existing bookmarks from Firefox or Internet Explorer.

6. Control, display and selectively delete cookies.

7. Integrated spell checker. Whenever you type - emails, forum postings etc - it dynamically checks spelling and flags incorrect spelling. If you right-click it presents a list of suggested spellings.

Unlike Firefox, Internet Explorer, Netscape etc which are based upon the same core code which goes all the way back to the first ever browser, Mosaic, Chrome has been developed from the ground up.

One main reason is that Google are developing a powerful set of applications that used to be on the PC such as Microsoft Office for example, which will now be accessed online through Google Chrome - presumably for free. This means software will always be available, always the latest versions, etc. Microsoft are extremely worried.

In case you are concerned about Google's motives, there software is "open Source" which means the source code is available to anyone who wants it, and they are free to modify the code or even improve it if they wish.

So I suggest you give Chrome a try - you can keep your other browsers, and post your impressions here.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Dear Melody,

Hello Adrian,

Thank you for offering in another thread to answer our computer questons. That's very kind of you, and I am going to take advantage of it. 

Is it important to do Registry scans and repair if the computer has slowed down? Would it help or can it actually do more damage than good?

I would never trust a registry scan because, knowing what I know from a technical perspective, I cannot see how a registry scan could possibly be of any value. Values are stored in the registry as a series of numbers and codes, so it is difficult to see how the registry can be reliably scanned for anything likely to slow the computer down significantly.

Aside from that, many so called "registry scanners" are actually malware in and of themselves. If you are surfing a website and you get a pop-up saying something like "Your registry is corrupted, do a registry scan now?" with a "yes" button - never click that button - it is always destructive.

If you are surfing a website and you see any pop-up, then never click yes or click anything because whatever you click will have the same effect.

What I do is click "CTRL-ALT-DEL" at the same time to bring up the Task Screen. If it is Vista select the Task Manager, and in applications, select the service that says Internet Explorer or whatever browser you use, and terminate it. If it will not terminate go to the Process tab, find the browser process and terminate it. Be careful though because there are many services running that are needed to keep Windows running. If you terminate the wrong one the worst it will do is freeze the PC so you will need to restart.

I am now going to post another topic on the Google Chrome browser.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.
 

Hello Wavepsychic,

I am sure Melody was saying that all mammals originally evolved from fish which is true.

It is now generally thought that dinosaurs may not have become totally extinct in that modern birds evolved from Dinosaurs which are more bird-like than reptile-like.

The Velociraptor for example is a bird except for its teeth, and may or may not have had rudimentary feathers.

There are plenty of examples of fish like creatures that evolve in to reptiles, for example the Axolotl which metamorphoses in to a Salamander.

There are also the "living fossils" such as the Coelacanth which first appeared in the seas around 400 million years ago, and thought to have gone extinct at the end of the Cretaceous, but since 1938 hundreds, possibly thousands have been caught, and many more colonies observed by divers. There are also completely separate genus that appear to have branched around 2 million years ago.

And then their is the Loch Ness Monster of course, claimed to be a Plesiosaur. However, Loch Ness was only carved out by glacial activity during the last Ice Age, so that is somewhat suspect to say the least.

If you want to see a video of a real living Plesiosaur watch the beginning of this:

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=LD31YzO5t-M&NR=1

I have studied this closely, and am satisfied that it is genuine and most likely a evolved species of Plesiosaur.

You might find the remainder of this video interesting as well.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Hello Wavepsychic,

[How old we are only measures how many solar cycles we were incarnated for.

Yes that is correct. The human obsession with measuring "time" provides a point of reference for humans regard as "ageing". In fact many people after the age of 40 or so become hyper-sensitive about their age and reaching the "big 4-0" and so one that it consumes them.

it is even considered rude to ask a lady how old she is lest it offend her - with apologies to all those ladies that are not offended like Julia on this forum That said I would be very surprised that anyone awakened to these matters could become offended by such a thing.

Everyone ages differently and us Spiritual ones should age much slower because our Vibrations are high, right???

No. People who are Spiritually aware are focussed on a Higher Vibration, and may well appear to age more slowly, but that is because they are more likely to understand the Spiritual and Mind basis of the ageing, and are accordingly less likely to participate.

Above all - there is no one in these forums or elsewhere for that matter that cannot achieve the same. This of course why I write my newsletters every week, write the website articles and provide this forum of exploration.

Their is talk about some being born wiser then others. If someone is born with a gift to play the piano very well without taking lessons then it is safe to say they could have practiced the piano in there past life.

I realise people generally tend to think of reincarnation in those terms, but it is not in reality how it works at all.

Each personality incarnating on Earth only incarnates once and once only. Each incarnation is an expression of our Higher Self - our Individuality. Each personality will be different unless another personality failed to complete its mission of Experience - which has been increasingly the vase as humans have become focused on material things. Either way, abilities of that type are not transferred to another personality unless required for the lessons of the current incarnation.

Abilities such as playing the piano, guitar etc fluently, as with touch typing for example are learned at a Subconscious level. That is why the pianist, guitarist, typist and so on never need to look at their fingers, and if they did they would slow down or stop in confusion.

It is like the story of the millipede who claimed he could win a work at a race between two points. When they started the worm asked the millipede "which leg goes before the next" and the millipede was instantly paralysed because as soon as it started to consciously think about which order his thousand legs moves in, it could no longer function.

It is true that some people appear to have particular talent towards certain activities, but this is because they are generally motivated to want to excel at that activity, and the learning process become a passion.

the only exception is the so called "Savant" who appears to be mentally challenged yet can perform extraordinary feats of music, memory, math etc.  This is because the brain of a Savant is short circuited so they have direct access through the Subconscious Mind to the all knowledge and abilities, and are able to make use of this ability.

In fact everyone has this latent ability. If children were taught from the age of 3 to directly access All in Universal Mind, schools, universities etc would become irrelevant because they would know the answer to any question instantly.

I however must say that I am guilty of being envious of someone else because of the body he wears. I can not evolve past this until I experience this earthy life while wearing his body instead. I want to be him in my next life or better yet NOW. Tis not something to banish away because its one of the only things I really want!

Well you can turn this to your advantage, but not with the idea of "wanting" which implies perpetually wanting but never receiving.

Anyone who "wants" anything is unlikely to receive it unless someone gives it as a gift.

If you look at a person as a Subconscious model, and impress your Subconscious Mind that you already have your idea of a perfect body, so will it be.

There was a Chinese Emperor who was born with a spine defect so he was bent over. He would not appear in public. So had his sculptor make a life sized, extremely detailed statue of him, but standing up straight and proud. When completed they asked where it should be displayed.  To their surprise he had the statue placed in his private garden where only he could see it. He then visited the statue many times each day contemplating deeply. Within a year he appeared in public for the first time standing straight, tall and proud, just like the statue.

So If I never look in the Mirror and have faith I already look like someone else I will look just like him? Or at least look like my younger self? If someone is trying a Vegan diet or fasting they shouldn't weigh themselves to make sure they don't lose any weight?[/color]

You will only look like "them" if you believe "they" are you. Otherwise you may become envious and attract the opposite.

You should never "try" anything. I never use the word "try" and the only time I mention it in my book is to advise the reader not to use it. To try is to fail. You either do it in your Mind or physically or you do not even think about it.  "Try" is one of those trick words like "want"  - both strip you of power.

In Love and Light,

Dear Freedom,

You can do all those things, but in most cases they are self-fulfilling.

One of the best ways of impressing your Subconscious Mind for something you wish to achieve is to write it down as if were true now, and then put in a draw and forget about it.

"Pre cogs" will become as real as you think they are Now.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Dear Loraine,

I am in no way doubting your integrity, sincerity or what you believe to be true - everyone has freewill.

I also always welcome people challenging what I believe to be true, and am happy to discuss as necessary. Everyone, without exception is connected to the truth deep within, and will always recognise it for what it is.

However, I personally know that precisely "telling the future" goes against every Universal Principle as well as all of the provisions of Quantum Physics and Quantum Mechanics which states that a situation only becomes a fact when observed or thought about in the present moment.

What humans refer to as "the future" is an illusion of linear time. All Causation commences in the Causal Sphere of Universal Energy, far beyond all concept of what humans know as "time". Time does not even exist in the Etheric or Astral Spheres.

With respect charting the stock markets is prediction based upon trends and economic climate in the Now - it is not a prophecy. Most people  - and again I am not suggesting this is the case with you - will claim success if the stock market goes close to their prediction, and simply remain quiet if it does not.  My question always is  - if a person claims to know where the stock markets, currency markets, price of Gold etc is going, they should be billionaires by now, yet I am not aware of one psychic billionaire, and I seriously doubt that anyone else does either - if they were they would keep quiet about it, and not have to sell their services on the Internet.

I could ask you questions that would require real prophecy - but I will not because it would be disrespectful to do so.

In case you are wondering I am concerned about the multi-billion dollar "psychic hotline industry" which generally preys on vulnerable people - often bereaved, have financial difficulties, desperate to find a relationships etc - when they are using cold reading techniques.

I am currently helping one such lady whose marriage is breaking up as a direct result of contacting a psychic hotline. The issue with psychic hotlines is not that they "tell" the future, they rather, due to the Faith the client has in the "psychic" to Subconsciously move and take actions as well as thought in the direction of what the "psychic" told them, so it eventually becomes self-fulfilling through the Law of Attraction leading the client to think the "psychic" was correct, when in fact what they have done is to attract to themselves the situations that the "psychic" told them would happen, without even realising it. So they go back to the "psychic" again for further "fortune telling's" and the "psychic" ends up literally controlling the life of the client.

I wrote a 45 page exposition of the the psychic hotline industry which I could attach here - but I am not about disproving and debunking - only sharing what I personally know to the the truth.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

Dear Nick,

My pleasure. If it saves people the inconvenience and frustration of a trojan - keeping in Mind many of them operate covertly stealing data, then it is more than worth it.

The trial version is perfectly adequate, but I always pay the small fee for a license for products I find particularly useful and time saving.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.

[Now]

Hello Everyone,

Although Remote Viewing exists, prophecies exist, Divination exists etc, it is crucially important to keep in Mind that it is absolutely, categorically, emphatically that it is impossible to "see the future".

Whoops - just put a few hundreds thousand "psychics" and a multi-billion dollar business out of business

What we think of as the future is can only be created and experiences in the Now.

The "future" only exists as Quantum Probabilities that only become Quantum Realities when Observed in the Now.

This means that the best anyone can do is to "view" a range of possible or even possible "futures" based on the current Energy.

The reason Remote Viewers cannot "see" beyond 2012 is likely the space-time continuum, and therefore linear time will no longer exist.

The only reason that sometimes the "future" as "told" by a "fortune teller" comes "true", is because the client focuses so much on what they have been told, that they actually create that same "future" for themselves so they then experience it. In other words it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy.

The Mayan Long Count Calendar, the I-Ching and all these other systems are Predictions based in fact, not prophecies.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.
 

Dear Melody,

Thank you very much for that link.

David Wilcock is known to me of course and I have the very highest regard for his work.

That said I have not read that book - or aware of it - or of his other work in detail. He has his work to do and I have mine.

I do know that we fundamentally agree. His work tends to be highly technical and beyond the attention span of most people - his work is aimed at technical, scholarly, research type people which is fine.

I reach out to people who prefer a more "just get on with what we need to know" resource.

If you have that attention span I certainly recommend you read that book, even though I have not done so - I know he will not lead you astray.

In Love and Light,

Adrian.
