China turning excess solar energy inward

Want China Times, Staff Reporter, 2012-09-30

China's photovoltaic industry, which has been trapped by anti-dumping cases
 from its major importers, is looking to China's domestic consumption to absorb
the excess production of electricity. (Photo/Xinhua)

China's government agencies are formulating a series of measures to help the solar photovoltaic market, aiming at an increase in total installed photovoltaic capacity to 10 million kilowatts by 2015, China Securities Journal reported.

China's National Energy Bureau recently issued a notification, directing various provinces, regions and cities to file their respective plans for developing distributed photovoltaic-power applications and the locations where they would be demonstration before Oct. 15.

The notification caps the number of photovoltaic power generation systems in any single region or city at three, and total installed capacity at 500,000 kilowatts. This means the total capacity of distributed photovoltaic power generation systems in various cities and regions of the country's 31 provinces may exceed 15 million kilowatts during the initial period.

The implementation areas for these projects include Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. The government will provide subsidies for the implementation of these projects and to users of these projects.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is planning to set up entry barriers for photovoltaic enterprises entering the market.

Under the solar energy development project of China's Five-Year Economic Development Plan (2011-2015), China will focus for the first time on installing distributed photovoltaic power generation systems, aimed at increasing installed capacity to 10 million kilowatts by 2015. Currently, installed capacity is almost zero, and there is ample room for development in this area.

Given the current installation cost of distributed photovoltaic power generation systems at 15,000 yuan (US$2,380) per kilowatts, the total investment in solar-power generation is expected to reach 150 billion yuan (US$23.8 billion) by 2015.

The report said the government would aggressively promote distributed photovoltaic power generation at industrial parks in cities and large enterprises. The price of solar photovoltaic power is close to those of the power used by industries and businesses, and the resulting economic benefits would usher in an era of fair prices for electricity.

Since photovoltaic exports are being obstructed by the US anti-dumping move and countervailing duty, and the EU's anti-dumping duties, the domestic market could increasingly consume overcapacities in photovoltaic power, the report said, citing an analyst.

The analyst predicted that the domestic market would absorb 30%-50% of China's production of photovoltaic batteries in the future.

To cope with overproduction and vicious competition in the photovoltaic industry, the government will raise entry barriers and promote orderly development.

During the five-year plan period, the government aims to create a photovoltaic enterprise with annual sales of more than 100 billion yuan (US$15.87 billion), 3-5 enterprises with annual sales of more than 50 billion yuan (US$7.93 billion) and 3-4 photovoltaic components companies with annual sales of more than 1 billion yuan (US$158.66 million).

Since the beginning of this year, nearly 80% of China's polysilicon enterprises have suspended production, affecting investments worth more than 50 billion yuan (US$7.93 billion) in the industry.

Tesla promises free solar-powered travel with new ‘Supercharger’ tech

The Raw Story, Stephen C. Webster, Tuesday, September 25, 2012



Electric car manufacturer Tesla Motors announced Monday that it will roll out a network of solar-powered charging stations across the United States over the next two years, enabling owners of the company’s all-electric “Model S” vehicles to “travel for free, forever, on pure sunlight.”

Appearing at an unveiling event Monday in Hawthorne, California, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the same creative force behind PayPal and SpaceX, said the company’s new charging technology is an important advancement in human history because it could soon free zero-emission vehicles from limited areas of operation.

More importantly, he said the company’s “Superchargers” add 150 miles to a car’s range in just 30 minutes — a dramatic improvement over other current vehicle charging technology. 

“People have this idea that if you have an electric car, there’s no freedom. You’re stuck,” he said. “They have this idea that you can’t go anywhere. What we’re showing today is, in fact, you’ll have more freedom [with electric cars] than with anything. You’ll be able to go anywhere and feel really good about your travel. If you want to go from L.A. to New York, if you pack food and stay with friends you can leave your wallet at home.”

Tesla’s “Superchargers” look like something out of “2001: A Space Odyssey,” shaped like a tall, pointy oblong tower bearing the company’s logo. It works by connecting directly to the car’s battery through special cables designed specifically by Tesla, supposedly enabling the vehicle to charge much faster than with older technology.

The chargers are, for now, only compatible with Tesla’s Model S, which goes on sale this fall at several price points. Other electric vehicles will not be compatible, including the Tesla Roadster and Tesla Model S sedans with batteries smaller than 60-kWh.

Musk said that Tesla plans to blanket the U.S. with a “Supercharger network” in the next two years, with a planned expansion covering the whole country and parts of Canada within the next five. The company also plans to install Superchargers in Europe and Asia in 2013, he added.

While that all certainly sounds good, it remains to be seen whether Tesla can deliver on Musk’s lofty goals. The company’s first car, the Tesla Roadster, was repeatedly delayed during production after the company’s founder, Martin Eberhard, stepped down as CEO.

Russia suspends import and use of American GM corn after study revealed cancer risk

Daily Mail, Sean Poulter, 25 September 2012

  • The European Food Safety Authority orders review in to the research, conducted at a French university
  • Russia's decision could be followed by other nations
  • Experts at the University of Caen conducted an experiment running for the full lives of rats - two years
  • The findings found raised levels of breast cancer, liver and kidney damage
  • The same trials also found minuscule amounts of a commonly used weedkiller, Roundup
  • Both the GM corn and Roundup are the creation of US biotech company Monsanto

Russia has suspended the import and use of an American GM corn following a study suggesting a link to breast cancer and organ damage.

Separately, the European Food Safety Authority(EFSA), has ordered its own review in to the research, which was conducted at a French university.

The decision by Russia could be followed by other nations in what would be a severe blow to the take-up of the controversial technology.

Historically, biotech companies have proved the safety of GM crops based on trials involving feeding rats for a period of 90 days.

However, experts at the University of Caen conducted an experiment running for the full lives of rats - two years.

The findings, which were peer reviewed by independent experts before being published in a respected scientific journal, found raised levels of breast cancer, liver and kidney damage.

The same trials also found evidence that consumption of minuscule amounts of a commonly used weedkiller, Roundup, was associated with a raised risk of cancer.

Both the GM corn, which carries the name NK603, and Roundup are the creation of US biotech company Monsanto.

The decision by the Russians to suspend authorisation for the American GM corn threatens to trigger a transatlantic commercial and diplomatic row.

Russia’s consumer rights watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, said today that it has suspended the import and use of the Monsanto GM corn.

Rospotrebnadzor said the country’s Institute of Nutrition has been asked to assess the validity of the study.

It has also contacted the European Commission’s Directorate General for Health & Consumers to ask for the EU’s position on the corn’s safety.

Consumer scepticism in the UK and Europe means GM corn is not on supermarket shelves here, however it is fed to farm animals, including hens, pigs and dairy cows.

products including cornflakes (picture

Last week Monsanto said it did not think the French study would affect its license to export the NK603 to Europe but would wait to hear from EFSA.

The company said: ‘Based on our initial review, we do not believe the study presents information that would justify any change in EFSA’s views on the safety of genetically modified corn products or alter their approval status for genetically modified imports.’

The biotech industry and university researchers involved in GM research have mounted a major PR campaign over the last year to win over sceptical consumers.

In the past week, pro-GM scientists have been lining up to undermine the French experiments and criticise the way they were conducted.

However, a number of independent academics have praised the French team’s work, describing it as the most thorough and extensive feeding trials involving GM to date.

Mustafa Djamgoz, the Professor of Cancer Biology, at Imperial College, London, said the findings relating to eating GM corn were a ‘surprise’.

Prof Djamgoz, who describes himself as a neutral on GM, said: ‘The results are significant. The experiments are, more or less, the best of their kind to date.’

However, he said that it is now important to ensure they are repeated with more animals by independent laboratories to confirm the outcome.

‘We are not scaremongering here. More research, including a repetition of this particular study are warranted,’ he said.

The professor said it will take two to three years to get a definitive answer.

U.S. seafood catch reaches 17-year high

Alaska led all states in catch volume, followed by Louisiana, California, Virginia and Washington

Chicago Tribune, Associated Press, September 19, 2012

A fishing boat off the coast of Alaska. (September 19, 2012)

The U.S. seafood catch reached a 17-year high last year, with all fishing regions of the country showing increases in both the volume and value of their harvests.

Commercial fishermen last year caught 10.1 billion pounds of fish and shellfish valued at a record $5.3 billion, according to a report released Wednesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That's a 23 percent increase in catch by weight and a 17 percent increase in value over 2010.

New Bedford, Mass., was the highest-valued port for the 12th straight year, due largely to its scallop fishery. Dutch Harbor, Alaska, was the No. 1 port for seafood volume for the 15th year in a row.

The increases are evidence that fish populations are rebuilding, said Sam Rauch, deputy assistant administrator for NOAA's Fisheries Service.

Still, a number of fisheries are in trouble. The Department of Commerce has declared disasters for cod and other so-called groundfish in New England, oyster and blue crab fisheries in Mississippi, and chinook salmon in Alaska's Yukon and Kuskokwin rivers.

"Overall nationally, the numbers are very good news," Rauch said. "But we don't want to miss the fact that there are parts of the industry that are or soon will be suffering economic pain."

Alaska led all states by far in catch volume, with 5.4 billion pounds, followed by Louisiana, California, Virginia and Washington, according to the report. Alaska was also tops in the value of its catch, at $1.9 billion, followed by Massachusetts, Maine, Louisiana and Washington.

Fishermen brought 706 million pounds of product to Dutch Harbor, the leading port by volume, while New Bedford, the top port by value, had $369 million worth of seafood cross its docks.

All nine of NOAA's fishing regions saw the volume and value of their catches go up in 2011. The numbers nationally were boosted by sharp increases for Gulf of Mexico menhaden, Alaska pollock and Pacific hake, also known as whiting.

The catch in the Gulf of Mexico rose to its highest volume since 1999 following a 2010 fishing season that was shortened by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In all, last year's Gulf catch rose 55 percent to nearly 2 billion pounds, with the value rising 25 percent to $797 million.

While certain regions were bolstered by strong showings in some fisheries, other sectors didn't fare so well.

New England, for instance, had strong lobster and scallop harvests. At the same time, fishermen who catch groundfish were having a tough time of it, with sharp cuts in quotas expected for next year because of dwindling populations.

It's good that the overall harvest numbers are growing nationwide, but that doesn't help groundfishermen, said Russell Shearman, 64, who fishes out of Gloucester, Mass.

Sherman, who owns a 72-foot boat, has had to spend $40,000 of his personal savings the past two years to keep his business afloat. With groundfishing in such bad shape, he's trying his hand at catching squid for the first time, he said.

"I'm pretty much out of business in groundfishing," he said in a phone interview from Stonington, Conn., where he was preparing to go squid fishing. "I'm nearing retirement, only I'm not retiring because I can't afford to."

Rauch said he expects the overall catch to continue going up in the years ahead, thanks to rebuilding fish populations and improved fisheries management.

The report also showed that Americans ate an average of 15 pounds of seafood per person in 2011, down from 15.8 pounds in 2010.

About 91 percent of the seafood consumed in the U.S. was imported, up from 86 percent in 2010. A portion of the imported seafood, however, was caught by U.S. fishermen, exported to other countries for processing then imported back into the U.S.




"....Let us just talk about the ocean for a moment. We won't even get to what's happening in the air and what mammals might experience. Let's just speak of the ocean. Have you heard about the salmon? What has your science warned you against? You're overfishing! The sea is dying. The coral is dying. The reefs are going away. You're not seeing the food chain that used to be there. You've overfished everything. Fishing quotas have been set up to help this. Oh, all those little people in the red room - they don't know about the purple. Red people only know about the red paradigm.

Did you hear about the salmon recently? There's too many of them! In the very place where quotas are in place so you won't overfish, they're jumping in the boats! Against all odds and any projections from environmentalists or biologists, they're overrunning the oceans in Alaska - way too many fish.


What does that tell you? Is it possible that Gaia takes care of itself? That's what it tells you! Perhaps this alignment is going to keep humanity fed. Did anybody think of this? What if Gaia is in alliance with you? What if the increase in consciousness that raised your DNA vibration has alerted Gaia to change the weather cycle and get ready to feed humanity? Are you looking at the ocean where the oil spill occurred? It's recovering in a way that was not predicted. What's happening?


The life cycle itself is being altered by the temperature change of the ocean and much of what you have believed is the paradigm of life in the sea is slowly changing. A new system of life is appearing, as it has before, and is upon you in your lifetime. It will compliment what you know and expose you to a new concept: Gaia regularly refreshes the life cycle on Earth. ...."

Antarctic molluscs 'switch sex'

BBC News, Ella Davies, Reporter, BBC Nature, 11 September 2012



Related Stories 

Antarctic bivalves have surprised scientists who have discovered that the animals switch sex.

The reproduction of Lissarca miliaris was studied in the 1970s and the species was first described in 1845.

But their hermaphrodite nature had remained unknown until they were studied by scientists from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton.

Researchers suggest the molluscs could switch between the sexes to efficiently reproduce in the extremely cold ocean.

The results are published in the journal Polar Biology.

"The previous reproductive study only looked at the large eggs and broods," said PhD student and lead author Adam Reed.

This earlier work showed how females brood their young for up to 18 months, from "large yolky eggs" to "fully shelled young", and found that females can support as many as 70 young inside their hinged shell.

But concentrating on reproduction at a cellular level, Mr Reed and colleagues discovered that the eggs were actually present in males.

"Curiously, we found huge numbers of very small eggs in functional males, which appear to be far higher in number than an individual could brood throughout the life of the animal," he told BBC Nature.

The team suggested that the bivalves reproduce as males while they are still in the "small" stages of development, switching to female organs once they are large enough to brood a significant number of eggs. 

Lissarca miliaris young develop
inside the shell
"At present the traits we describe are unusual for Antarctic bivalves, but in 10 years perhaps this will be common too," said Mr Reed.

"Hermaphroditism is not necessarily uncommon in Antarctic bivalves, and with many species still to study there may be many more to describe."

Brooding meanwhile is a relatively common reproductive trait in Antarctic invertebrates and has been linked to the extreme conditions.

"Brooding is common for small bivalves and has been discussed for many years in Antarctic biology," said Mr Reed.

"Large yolky eggs that are brooded have much lower mortality than small planktonic larvae, but fewer are produced."

He explained that in extremely cold environments, development is slowed down so feeding larvae becomes a more exhaustive task.

"Brooding reduces the need for long periods of feeding", according to Mr Reed, making it a more efficient strategy for many Antarctic invertebrates including bivalves and echinoids. 

The name bivalve comes from the Latin
for  'two doors' or 'shutters', referring to
the familiar hinged shell
The researcher suggested that the bivalves may be further maximising their efficiency when it comes to reproduction.

"We also found that after males become female, the male reproductive tissue persists for a long time," he said.

But for now, the bivalves can maintain their mystery because scientists are restricted to studying them during the months that staff are based at the British Antarctic Survey's remote research station.

"Perhaps they may alternate their sex so they can continue to reproduce as males while brooding their young for 18 months?" Mr Reed theorised.

"The study highlights how much we do not know about some of the common invertebrates living in the Antarctic, and how much research there is still to do."

9. It can be no other way—simply, this is the physics that governs life in this universe. As Earth continues apace into successively higher planes, nothing with low vibrations in any form—physical bodies, subversive plans, theft, dishonesty, unjust laws and imprisonment, bigotry, cruel customs and deeds—can survive.

10. Moving on, no, it will not be quite like religions being “totally discarded and replaced by universal laws in the Golden Age.” When the truths come forth that science and spirit are one and the same and that religious dogmas were originated by early leaders of church and state to control the masses, people whose consciousness has risen beyond the constraints of third density will adhere to the spiritual aspects of their respective religions and the devised, controlling aspects will fall by the wayside.

11. One of the truths to come forth is that Zionism, which by dark intent has been made synonymous with Judaism, actually is a bellicose political movement within the Illuminati, and its aim for more than six decades has been to create conflict and instability in the entire Middle East. Zionists, who have wielded powerful influence within and behind major governments and their military forces, do NOT represent the Jewish peoples in Israel or anywhere else. And, like all other Illuminati factions, they have been committed to that cabal’s goal of global domination.

12. Although Semites are of diverse national origins and religions, the Zionists have been successful in convincing many that “anti-Semitic” is exclusively prejudice against the Jewish peoples and opposition to Israel’s right to defend itself from its “enemies.” By means of that blatant distortion, they obtained not only world sympathy, but also massive defense funding from Israel’s allies, most especially the United States, all of which served to increase the Illuminati’s vast profits from their industrial-military machine.

13. In addition to controlling the masses through dogmatic teachings, religions have served the dark purpose of divisiveness to such an extent that it resulted in centuries of trauma and bloodshed. Witness the Crusades, wars between Catholics and Protestants, pogroms against Jews, executions of “blasphemous” individuals who refused to “recant.”  (Read More …)

Detailed map of genome function

BBC News, Fergus Walsh, Medical correspondent, 5 September 2012

More of human DNA is active
than was thought
Scientists have published the most detailed analysis to date of the human genome.

They've discovered a far larger chunk of our genetic code is biologically active than previously thought.

The researchers hope the findings will lead to a deeper understanding of numerous diseases, which could lead to better treatments.

More than 400 scientists in 32 laboratories in the UK, US, Spain, Singapore and Japan were involved.

Their findings are published in 30 connected open-access papers appearing in three journals, Nature, Genome Biology and Genome Research.

The Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (Encode) was launched in 2003 with the goal of identifying all the functional elements within the human genome.

A pilot project looking at 1% of the genome was published in 2007.

Now the Encode project has analysed all three billion pairs of genetic code that make up our DNA.

They have found 80% of our genome is performing a specific function.

Up to now, most attention has been focused on protein-coding genes, which make up just 2% of the genome.

Junk DNA

Genes are small sections of DNA that contain instructions for which chemicals - proteins - they should produce.

The Encode team analysed the vast area of the genome sometimes called "junk DNA" because it seemed to have little function and was poorly understood.

Dr Ewan Birney, of the European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, who led the analysis, told me: "The term junk DNA must now be junked.

"It's clear from this research that a far bigger part of the genome is biologically active than was previously thought."

Switches

The scientists also identified four million gene "switches". These are sections of DNA that control when genes are switched on or off in cells.

They said the switches were often a long way along the genome from the gene they controlled.

Dr Birney said: "This will help in our understanding of human biology. Many of the switches we have identified are linked to changes in risk for conditions from heart disease to diabetes or mental illness. This will give researchers a whole new world to explore and ultimately, it's hoped, will lead to new treatments."

Scientists acknowledge that it is likely to be many years before patients see tangible benefits from the project.

But another of the Encode team, Dr Ian Dunham said the data could ultimately be of help in every area of disease research.

"Encode gives us a set of very valuable leads to follow to discover key mechanisms at play in health and disease. Those can be exploited to create entirely new medicines, or to repurpose existing treatments."

Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute director Prof Mike Stratton said the results were "remarkable" and would "stand as a foundation stone for human biology for many years".

He added: "The Encode project will change the way many researchers conduct their science and give those who seek to understand disease a much better grasp of where genetic variation can affect our genome for ill."

"..... DNA - A Quantum Force 

Now let me take you to the very small. Over a decade ago, Vladimir Poponin, a Russian scientist, used light in an experiment with one molecule of DNA. Through this experiment, he discovered a multidimensional field around DNA. Light patterned itself into a mathematical equation [sine wave] when DNA was present. He discovered that DNA had a quantum field. Not only that, it was a quantum field somehow filled with information. How else could the field pattern light into a sine wave? Now, this came from a quantum biologist, not Kryon. Yet there are many who doubt this experiment ever happened, since it shows something that no Human expected. There are those who simply don't wish to look at the fact that real quantum biologists did a real experiment! They chose to relegate all that information to the new age and not to science. It's always interesting what Humans do with science, isn't it? If it doesn't fit the 3D model of their reality, then they deny it exists.

When the full Human genome was transcribed, every single chemical in it was seen. The numbers are shocking, for in a molecule that is so small you cannot see it without an electron microscope, there are more than 3 billion chemicals! The double helix is more complex than you know. This molecule is small enough to be qualified to be in a quantum state, and Vladimir Poponin showed that it actually had a field around it, even a single DNA molecule.

Those who did the Human Genome Project wanted to know how the 3 billion chemicals of DNA create more than 26,000 genes of the Human body. By the way, there are more genes than that, but I'm using the scientists' numbers, not mine. So this is what they were interested in. They did not see DNA in a quantum state. They were not looking for that, even though the very science of DNA shouts with logic that it has to be quantum. They weren't looking for that. Instead, they counted chemicals and looked for codes, and they found them in a very odd arrangement.

They discovered that of the 3 billion chemicals in the DNA double helix, all the genes were being created in the protein-encoded parts of DNA. Three and a half percent of DNA was creating all the genes. More than 90% of the chemical makeup of DNA seemed to be random. It did absolutely nothing - that they could see or understand. Even to this day, science does not see the obvious, that the 90% is quantum and the 3.5% is linear.

Today, your quantum physicists are often dealing with ten dimensions plus time (11 dimensions) in the most popular kind of multi-dimensional physics, string theory. If you began to ask them about what this all looks like, they would say the words, "chaos" and "random patterning." For this is the way that quantum fields work. They are filled with potentials instead of absolutes, and they vary depending on many factors... including Human consciousness. Someday there will be the realization there is a strong possibility that DNA, although a biological molecule, is in a quantum state. This will break the rules of "size" in a quantum state. For it actually is "mostly quantum," and even affects the spin of the atoms that enter its field. Then the next obvious question will occur: "What information is in the ninety percent of DNA that is quantum?"

Now we get to the core truth, don't we? So I will tell you. The ninety percent of DNA which is quantum, is filled with information, both esoteric and timeless. It is a quantum blueprint for everything you are and have been since you arrived on the planet the first time. DNA contains instruction sets for your life; everything from your full Akashic Record - every single lifetime you have had - to the benevolent creator's fingerprint within the seeds of creation itself. Every single talent you ever had is there, even if you don't have any of those today... the record is there. Every predisposition of weakness and strength are there. Biologically, every single instruction to every single stem cell is there.

Did you ever wonder where stem cells get their "information" to make the Human Being? It's in the 90% of your DNA, and it's all quantum. Why do some quantum DNA contain instructions to create weaker bodies? Why is it that some predispositions for disease are there? Now I'm giving you this information so that you will understand something that is coming next... perhaps the most important biological attribute ever presented. ..."



"...  DNA Teaching Continues....

DNA - The very letters ring with the complexity and chemistry of high biological science. In actuality, there is a lot more to it even than science sees, for it is doubtful that science will ever see what I'm about to tell you. There are components of your DNA and attributes that are simply unseeable in 3D. I have told you in the past that what is missing at this moment in scientific endeavor, which would literally change everything, is an instrument that would measure an interdimensional field. Once that instrument or scenario is developed, and it will be, it is the closest thing you'll ever have to proof of all that we speak of. For the instant that instrument is turned upon the various things of the planet, including Human biology, there will be revelation in science, everywhere. Energy that is invisible will appear, or will at least show its shadow. It will then be real, where at the moment it is only conjecture.

Interdimensionality is here today in so many ways. Gravity is an interdimensional force. Magnetism is an interdimensional force. Even light has components of it... all invisible and unexplainable to you at the moment. But like so many other things, you use it every day, and your bodies are also part of it.

Let me explain some things to you that enhance what I've already given. In order to do this, I must review. I will briefly review what I have given before so that I may expound upon it and give you things you have not yet heard.

The Review

To you and science, the very premise of DNA is bio-chemical. That is, what you have in your body, what you believe is responsible for the blueprint of life, is totally explainable by science through the chemistry and biological processes. But there are attributes within DNA that I wish to again discuss. There are interdimensional spiritual attributes within DNA that are quantum. The actual majority of the chemistry that you can see in the Human Genome is in a quantum state. Although your science cannot measure a quantum state at this time, nor the field around it, there is evidence of it within the puzzle of the Human Genome.

We have told you that the DNA in your body carries with it a tremendous amount of unseen information and energy. We speak of DNA as an entity, not as a chemical double helix. That is to say, 100 trillion loops of DNA all work together as one energy to be called "your DNA." This group is unique. It has to be, for it is absolutely, 100 percent you. Because of the quantumness of DNA, it can contain a huge part of your spirituality. This will be defined in the publication that my partner is working on now [Kryon Book Twelve]. Not only does DNA contain the record of all that you have been on the planet, but your relationship to Gaia as well. It contains all that you have ever done and the spirituality of what you've learned in every lifetime. This information is literally imprinted within it.

Now listen to me: Over eons, no Human ever loses any spiritual revelations they have ever had. Do you understand? With intent, any Human can awaken to the point at which their DNA holds what they've learned over all lifetimes. You awaken the DNA itself with your intent and epiphany of God inside. All of the spiritual things that you have learned will come flying back and be yours again. How could they not? You opened the door originally and you own them. This has to be good news to the individual who wonders what it's going to be like if he comes back. Will he have to start over? Will he have to go through the things again that he's gone through this lifetime? The answer is no. It remains free choice, and many lifetimes might go by without any kind of spiritual quest, but in this shift, many are beginning to "remember" who they are and what they know.

Some of you have actually said that you do not choose to come back again, for it has been difficult this time. There is an intrinsic, innate feeling to some of you that this is your last time. Yet I will tell you, dear ones, that this is what you said the last time! Here is what happens: The first thing that masters and old souls want to do when they arrive on the other side of the veil is come back... and that's you! Most of you will, and when you do, you will pick up where you left off, not restart. That's in the DNA. It's beautiful. The wisdom of the ages is imprinted within the DNA. It's quantum, and therefore huge. The crystal in the Cave of Creation stores this for you and activates your DNA when you return within a different Human body.

Isn't it interesting that now that humanity has seen the Human Genome, they see how unique it is? Isn't it interesting? DNA is totally unique. Not one Human Being has DNA like the other, not even identical twins. Only a fraction of it is identical in twins (less than 5%). But not the non-protein-encoded quantum parts. They are absolutely unique to each Human.

There is more. Within the DNA are attributes of the piece of God that you are. The imprint of the Higher-Self is there. The angelic name that I call you is there. That name is not a name in linearity or one spoken in the air with vibration. Instead, it is a name that we sing in light. And when it is spoken, it vibrates with majesty. That's the truth! Feel it! The imprint of who you really are is in there. You carry with you pieces and parts of the lineage from another planet and other areas of the Universe. The energy of those who helped seed you with humanity's spiritual portion are there as well [Pleiadian]. Appropriate, it is. Beautiful, it is. Loving, it is. All of that is there within your DNA, and in order for it to be there, it has to be a quantum energy.

Now, let us again speak of the 3D biology. When the Human Genome Project was finished, all the chemicals in the double helix had been identified. In that very, very small double helix, three billion chemical parts were then known and identified. It is so small that this DNA molecule must be seen via an electron microscope. So complex it is that it has three billion in chemical parts. Then the task began of identifying what the parts did, and science began to study the enormity of what was there. They were looking, indeed, for that which created more than 23,000 Human genes. So they looked for the coding, the linear protein coding, so that they could understand how these things worked.

Science had waited a long time to see "the blueprint in action," and they did. But the shock came when less than five percent of the DNA created genes. Indeed, they saw linearity and they saw the coding in the protein-encoded portion of DNA. This small portion created the genes, but the rest of it seemed to be random, even chaotic. More than 90 percent of DNA seemed to be scrambled and useless.

My partner talked about that today [in lecture] where a quantum state appears to be chaotic. It appears to be random, for there is no linearity to be discovered in a true quantum reality, none at all. One of the things that keeps you from seeing a quantum state is the linearity bias that you have in your 3D reality. So you, indeed, stare at that which is quantum, but to you the concept of what it might be is invisible. This DNA attribute of randomness could not be taken lightly, for science was looking at something that was unexplainable. Imagine, 90 percent of DNA seemed to do nothing at all! The biologists knew better, but there simply was no explanation at hand. ...."
