Babaji likes human beings. Humanitarian work should be done by all of us. Babaji
wishes humans well. A person who follows this and who always keeps humanitarian
rules in mind will be loved by everyone and shall survive all this destruction and
shall remain happy. One should try to bring these humanitarian ideas to everybody
who does not have them.
What does one mean by humanitarian rules and humanity? Babaji says one should not
have any hatred towards anyone; one should try not to let down other people; one
should try to help others; one should try to love all.
In this new kingdom, everyone should be good. Babaji expects all this from you. And
you should try to preach this to others - to those who are not here. Teach it to others;
not only those around you, but in other countries, in the whole world - wherever you go,
one should try to put it into practice.
Babaji thanks you all who have been so courageous as to come here and to do all this
work. He thanks you all for that.
Bhole Baba ki Jai!

HUB---HUMANITY UNITES BRILLIANCE
HUB - Where We Come Together To Change Our World
Helping the world move from Survival to Self-Empowerment to Sustained Abundance.
We believe that you have been called to participate in this movement and to help inspire
others to participate, too. Together we can uplift, impact and transform the lives of
millions.
Hello Beloveds,
Kel and I have received news of a beautiful opportunity to make a bigger difference
in the world. It is a most auspicious way to support people in need, to unite with
others thru education, self empowerment and if you so choose--to receive monies back.
It is a very evolved way to globally increase health, wealth and consciousness. The
name of the organization is called HUB--Humanity Uniting Brilliance. Helping the world
move from Survival to Self-Empowerment to Sustained Abundance.
Kelley and I have long desired to participate in philanthropy
on a bigger scale--not
just with our monthly tithes to a few folks. If you have a similar desire, check it out.
We joined last week. If you choose to participate you will be supporting many other people,
yourself and Kelley and I.
There actually is a lot of information and many activities involved here. You can choose
what your involvement level will be. If you join at the $99 level each month, you and
others will receive a greater benefit.
It is important for you to know that Kelley and I do NOT like MLMs and we request that
you be willing to look at this one. The Intent of HUB feels most genuine and expansive.
HUB really allows us to experience that giving is receiving.
Please go to http://tonidelgado.hubhub.org/ check out especially the About link and the
FAQ link. Below is the Impact doc. That tells you where current monies are being put
to use.
HUBs_Impact.doc
HUB's mission is to move all people of the world from survival to self-sustainability.
HUB-In Aid is a "keystone" product that our Angels can gift. This movement is committed
to returning dignity back to nations. "We don't just give a man a bag of grain, we teach
him how to grow the grain himself in the future."
HUB co-creates sustainment programs with field agents in chosen communities around the
world. Currently we are focusing on Kenya, Liberia and Uganda in Africa, and various
cities in the USA. We anticipate programs commencing in India as well as further Africa
countries such as Zimbabwe and Mozambique. We call the recipients in each community
"HUB-Powerees" because they receive more than just survival-aid (like food and water).
Through HUB's empowerment programs, they are also supported with village build-outs,
schools for 200 children each, vocational training and micro-loans for the caregivers
of the children and the youth such as former child soldiers.
FOOD + WATER + EDUCATION + MICROCREDIT = SUSTAINABILITY
What is a one Hubbies immediate Impact?
That depends on your level of involvement in HUB.
If you are an individual giver, you purchase a personal empowerment program for $99 per
month that helps HUB to feed 3 people, educate 3 people, provide clean water for 10 and
provide environmental sustainability training to 16. This means you personally impact 32
lives as a Hubbie.
If you are an exponential giver, you also inspire others to do the same. If you inspire
three others, who in turn each inspire 3 others, we now have a group of 13 (1+3+9) which
means 416 people are impacted as a result of your exponential giving.
A HUB-Poweree Example
Who are you impacting as you give to empower
Meet Elizabeth, the mother of 9 children and the care-giver to a family of 10. Her
son, John, is selected to attend a HUB scholarship school and his mother, Elizabeth,
is then given a trade banana silk weaving.
Elizabeths husband, "Joseph", is a subsistence farmer who produces bananas which are
purchased from expert trainers in a co-operative of subsistence farmers. Around the same
time, one of our HUB Ambassador decides he has a passion to sell clothing made from
natural fibers in the US Market. His Circle of Brilliance group encourages him to tap
into Elizabeths production of woven banana silk. This HUB Ambassador buys products from
Elizabeth at a discount and launches the successful clothing line, Threads for Life.
This example shows the multiple benefits of HUBs connections - a child was educated and
trained, his family started a profitable, self-sustaining business, and one of our HUB
Ambassadors realized his dream to impact the world in a positive way.
When giving aid, HUB works to combine these four critical components, also known as a
full package, delivering powerful results and moving entire families from survival to
sustainability. HUB works with the finest products and partners to develop, manufacture,
and distribute the needed elements for HUB-In Aid. HUB's full package product partners
include:
Food:
Feed The Children is the world's finest distributor and provider of food. In 2007, Feed
The Children provided a total of $1 Billion of aid, goods and services. Founder Larry Jones
has worked closely with the HUB founders during the last few years in Africa.
Nourish the Children is the manufacturer of over 100 million Vitameals since 2002.
Nourish the Children has supported the HUB founders' African programs since 2006.
Water:
Founded by Jack Rose, the position of RainCatcher is that there is enough water on the
planet. It rains; we just need to catch it and purify it. The RainCatcher is effective,
economic and easy to maintain. RainCatchers will be installed on all HUB school roofs.
Kenya Water Wells Trust is one of the most established well diggers in Africa with over
a 95% success record in drilling.
Education:
HUB has various education partners in different multi-native-language countries to support
various strategies of empowerment to move students from survival to self sustainment. Our
education partners and their needs varies in each location in Africa and the USA. Yet we
see common themes with extraordinary teachers in each location and curriculum supported
by art supported by music, visual and movement modules. HUB also recognizes the need to
connect learning being cities and continents such as 3rd Grade class in Las Vegas or
Portland being connected to a classroom in Nairobi being connected to a class in Delhi,
India.
K-12 Grade:
In April 08 HUB commenced Impact support with K-12 grade programs in Nairobi Kenya in
both the Jubilee School with the Child of Destiny and also in schools supporting 2000
students in association with Feed The Children. A further impact support has been granted
to a Uganda school project.
Vocational Training and Empowerment Outreaches:
To best support youth and women moving towards sustainment with the support of micro credit,
HUB looks to support vocational training. In association with Youth Action International
HUB also started vocational training for former child soldiers in Liberia commencing with
tailoring and crafting.
Microcredit:
Micro Credit is now granted to over 190 million women by over 3,000 agencies worldwide
and is looking at ultimately supporting over 2 Million people that currently exist on
less than $2 a day.
HUB recognizes the long term brilliance of counsel from The Microcredit Summit, that
monitors and reports on the worldwide progress and the microloan non profit and for profit
entities. HUB endorses the work of The Green Children and the recipient of the 2006 Nobel
Peace Prize, Grameen Bank.
HUB establishes micro loan programs directed at its monthly impact partners to support
the overall goals of the memorandum of understanding with each partner to support change
of environment and the way giving is made.
For example in Nairobi women of the slums are to be taught tailoring in order to make
school uniforms. In Liberia and Uganda vocational training and micro loan program is
projected by Youth Action International to both reeducate and rehabilitate up to 300,000
former child soldiers.

LESSON 109
I rest in God.
We ask for rest today, and quietness unshaken by the world's appearances. We ask for
peace and stillness, in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams. We ask
for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And
we have the thought that will answer our asking with what we request.
"I rest in God." This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness,
and the safety and the happiness you seek. "I rest in God." This thought has power to
wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth
in everyone and everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world,
and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. Here is the thought
in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize himself.
"I rest in God." Completely undismayed, this thought will carry you through storms
and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of
God. There is no suffering it cannot heal. There is no problem that it cannot solve.
And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God.
This is the day of peace. You rest in God, and while the world is torn by winds of
hate your rest remains completely undisturbed. Yours is the rest of truth. Appearances
cannot intrude on you. You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear
and come to you because you rest in God. They will not hear another voice than yours
because you gave your voice to God, and now you rest in Him and let Him speak through you.
In Him you have no cares and no concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no pain, no fear of
future and no past regrets. In timelessness you rest, while time goes by without its
touch upon you, for your rest can never change in any way at all. You rest today.
And as you close your eyes, sink into stillness. Let these periods of rest and
respite reassure your mind that all its frantic fantasies were but the dreams of
fever that has passed away. Let it be still and thankfully accept its healing.
No more fearful dreams will come, now that you rest in God. Take time today to slip
away from dreams and into peace.
Each hour that you take your rest today, a tired mind is suddenly made glad, a bird
with broken wings begins to sing, a stream long dry begins to flow again. The world
is born again each time you rest, and hourly remember that you came to bring the peace
of God into the world, that it might take its rest along with you.
With each five minutes that you rest today, the world is nearer waking. And the time
when rest will be the only thing there is comes closer to all worn and tired minds,
too weary now to go their way alone. And they will hear the bird begin to sing and
see the stream begin to flow again, with hope reborn and energy restored to walk with
lightened steps along the road that suddenly seems easy as they go.
You rest within the peace of God today, and call upon your brothers from your rest to
draw them to their rest, along with you. You will be faithful to your trust today,
forgetting no one, bringing everyone into the boundless circle of your peace, the holy
sanctuary where you rest. Open the temple doors and let them come from far across the
world, and near as well; your distant brothers and your closest friends; bid them all
enter here and rest with you.
You rest within the peace of God today, quiet and unafraid. Each brother comes to take
his rest, and offer it to you. We rest together here, for thus our rest is made complete,
and what we give today we have received already. Time is not the guardian of what
we give today. We give to those unborn and those passed by, to every Thought of
God, and to the Mind in which these Thoughts were born and where they rest. And
we remind them of their resting place each time we tell ourselves, "I rest in God."
(Natural News) The discovery that drug companies have been ghostwriting scientific
studies using in-house writers, then paying (bribing) doctors and high-level
academics to pretend they were the author of the article is making shockwaves
across conventional medicine. This latest revelation of scientific fraud exposes a
massive, widespread system of fraud involving not only the drug companies, but also
hundreds of different peer-reviewed, "scientific" medical journals that have published
these ghostwritten articles. This scam is the latest embarrassment to conventional
medicine; a system built on such a foundation of scientific fraud that the admission
of dishonesty no longer surprises anyone. The pharmaceutical industry, it seems, is
now supported almost entirely by fraudulent science fabricated by marketing personnel.
Remember, it is these studies -- the very ones now discovered to be ghostwritten by
Big Pharma's in-house authors -- that the FDA uses to approve these drugs, unleashing
them onto the public where potentially hundreds of millions of doses of the drug may
be sold in just the first few years of its approval. But what we're learning now is
that the whole system is an elaborate scam. For these studies, there's no real science
involved at all.
To back this up, let me explain how this scam works in seven simple steps:
Step 1: A drug company runs an in-house study (using fraudulent study design from
the start) to "prove" that their drug is both safe and effective. If the study produces
negative results, it is thrown out. If it produces positive results, proceed to step 2.
Step 2: That same drug company uses in-house writers ("ghost writers") to write up
the results of the study in a favorable light by discarding any data that doesn't fit
the desired outcome. Note that these in-house writers are marketing people, not doctors
or scientists, and they are on Big Pharma's payroll!
Step 3: The drug company contacts a noted doctor or academic and offers to pay them
a bribe (a "writing fee") to put their name on the paper as if they were the original
author. In reality, the paper has already been completely written and the doctor needs
to write nothing.
Step 4: The paper is submitted to peer-reviewed academic journals (such as JAMA) for
publication. Since the paper appears to have been independently written by an outside
scientist or doctor, the journal is far more likely to consider it credible. Thus, it
gets more easily published. The drug company reveals nothing about the true origins of
the paper.
Step 5: The drug company that sponsored all this forwards the peer-reviewed, published
study to the FDA, claiming this is now "scientific fact" that proves their drug is
both safe and effective. Since the study was published in a peer-reviewed medical
journal, it must be true, right?
Step 6: The FDA, which conducts no drug safety studies of its own, automatically
believes the conclusions of the study (since it was published in a credible journal,
after all), and therefore approves the drug for sale! From there, the FDA claims its
decisions are based on the "gold standard of evidence-based medicine!"
Step 7: Once the drug is approved by the FDA, the drug company then claims the drug
has been declared safe and effective by an independent government agency, and therefore
the drug must indeed be both safe and effective. In other words, even though the drug
company fabricated much of the evidence used by the FDA to make their approval decision,
the drug company still claims that the FDA's decision is an independent, science-based
approval of their drug! Furthermore, the drug companies are now arguing that FDA approval
should immunize them from any lawsuits or claims of harm stemming from their drugs.
Amazing, huh?
From here, doctors are medical personnel are taught that the drug is backed by good
science and that the FDA has independently reviewed the evidence and approved the drug.
Therefore, it's safe to prescribe to patients. What nobody has been told, however, is
that the entire process -- from the drug studies to drug approvals -- was fabricated!
Or, put another way, as long as ghostwriting is tolerated in conventional medicine,
the pharmaceutical industry has lost all credibility and is now clearly based on science
fraud and marketing gimmicks, not genuine evidence. And remember, ghostwriting is not a
new issue. It's been going on for decades. The only thing new about this issue is that
it has been exposed in once-secret court documents that just happened to come out during
a recent Merck trial.
Medical Journals Should Retract All Ghostwritten Articles
NaturalNews is now calling for all peer-reviewed medical journals to determine the true
authorship of all scientific articles they've published over the last ten years and
retract all ghostwritten articles.
That would be quite a list, likely involving tens of thousands of published studies.
The medical journals, of course, won't bother with that process. You know why? Because
just like the drug companies, they'd rather sweep their scientific fraud under the rug
than admit they've been played by Big Pharma or participated in a massive campaign of
scientific fraud that now calls into question the credibility of virtually all medical
journals (except for PLoS Medicine, of course, which remains independent and honest).
You see, all the big players were in on this scam: The drug companies, the medical
journals, the FDA, the researchers and even the doctors and academics who accepted as
much as $25,000 per study to slap their name on a paper already written by Big Pharma's
in-house marketing writers. I guess credibility is cheap in conventional medicine. The
entire reputation of a doctor can be purchased for as little as $10,000. Similarly, the
integrity of the entire industry can be bought with Big Pharma's dollars. There's nothing
in modern pharmaceutical medicine that isn't for sale... not even scientific credibility.
The FDA Should Retract its Approval of All Drugs Based on Ghostwritten Studies
Think about this: The evidence used by the FDA to approve drugs is now known to be tainted.
If this were a state or federal court, that evidence would be thrown out as being
"inadmissible." But at the FDA, there's no such thing as pro-drug evidence that's too
tainted to accept as fact. (There are truly zero standards for scientific evidence at
the FDA, at least with the top decision makers. They can accept any piece of fraudulent
evidence as fact, no matter how "poisoned" the evidence might be.)
Based on what we now know, the FDA needs to retract its approval of numerous drugs that
were approved based on ghostwritten papers. In other words, if the FDA's original
approval of these drugs was based on scientific fraud, then the FDA needs to rectify
the situation and withdraw the approval of those drugs until proper studies can be
conducted.
Will the FDA engage in such retractions? Of course not. There's not motivation to do so.
The FDA isn't interested in good science or protecting the public. It's only interested
in boosting Big Pharma's profits using whatever methods of collusion, corruption and
scientific fraud it can get away with.
I say that if the FDA refuses to retract the approvals of drugs based on ghostwritten
studies, the FDA has zero remaining credibility and has abandoned anything resembling
"evidence-based medicine." In other words, the FDA is a willing partner in this widespread
campaign of scientific fraud, and even when the fraud is discovered, the FDA does nothing
to attempt to reestablish scientific credibility. Real science, it seems, has zero priority
at the FDA.
The Pharmaceutical Racket
So now we have Big Pharma, the FDA and the top medical journals all engaged in a massive
conspiracy to deceive the public, to win approval for dangerous drugs, and to prop up the
pharmaceutical industry with fabricated evidence on drug safety that was actually written
by Big Pharma's in-house marketing writers. This is clearly a grand pharmaceutical racket,
operated much like a system of organized crime. Except these criminals, it seems, have not
yet been arrested and charged with any crimes. (That day is coming, however...)
Now I ask you this: How stupid are doctors if they still believe in all this fabricated
evidence? Because I've met a lot of M.D.s who believe so strongly in the "evidence" behind
pharmaceuticals that they'll argue your ears off about the science of pharmaceuticals vs.
the "wishful thinking" of nutritional supplements. It makes you wonder just how gullible
doctors really are. (In truth, they're incredibly gullible. All it takes is a visit by a
young, bubbly drug rep wearing a push-up bra to radically alter the brand-name drug
prescribing habits of a typical M.D.)
And how gullible are patients who believe Big Pharma or the FDA? To believe in this system
of fraudulent "junk" science and manipulated clinical trials is downright foolish. And yet
hundreds of millions of Americans take pharmaceuticals every single day -- drugs that make
them no healthier and that, in fact, may harm them or kill them.
Folks, it is time for the United States of America to wake up and realize we've all been
conned by Big Pharma. We've been hoodwinked by a band of clever hucksters sporting academic
degrees and authoritative-sounding titles. We've been had. Let us now end this foolishness
by retracting all published studies based on fraudulent ghostwriting, retracting all FDA-
approved drugs based on these fraudulent studies, and prosecuting the top pharmaceutical
companies for the widespread fraud they have so cleverly designed and unleashed in pursuit
of the almighty dollar. It is time to invoke established federal anti-trust laws and go
after these companies, putting them out of business once and for all and thereby saving
countless American children, adults and senior citizens from death by dangerous
pharmaceuticals.

Imagine brushing your teeth without toothpaste. Imagine the toothbrush removing plaque
from your teeth as no other brush or toothpaste has ever done. Imagine receding gums
growing back. Imagine having brighter, whiter, healthier gums and teeth no matter
your age.
Wow
this new toothbrush is an awesome invention! Congratulations to those who are already
experiencing greater health as a result of using the IonField toothbrush. Read on and
order yours now! The brushes are now $17 each. These very same brushes are selling for
$25 in some parts of the country.
Toothbrush Instructions:
This toothbrush that has been tested by dentists in the U.S. and Japan with very exciting
results. If you wish to conduct your own test, please talk to your dentist and design a
protocol that will give you a baseline and then record changes over a 60-day period.
The brush requires no toothpaste. You can use a little sea salt or a small amount of
baking soda if you wish, but it is not necessary, as water alone is effective. The
occasional use of sea salt or baking soda will stimulate the gums and enhance the ionic
effect.
The bristles and head of the brush should be moistened with cold water. Then simply
brush your teeth thoroughly for 1-2 minutes, being sure to work the bristles well along
the gumline and inner surfaces of teeth. Give special attention to any problem areas
and deep pockets. Then rinse with cool water and dry back of the head after every use.
.
The two metal disks in the back of the head create a strong anti-bacterial action. You
may notice a short period of reaction from your gums when you first start to use the
brush, but this is a sign of healing and will pass in a few days.
Use the brush at least once a day. (You may continue using your normal toothbrush and
toothpaste as well if you like.) The brush should last about six months. I have used
one for longer with good results, and have gone for over six months using no toothpaste
at all with no problems noted by my dentist.
If your dentist does a bacterial test before you start to use the brush, and then
checks again after about 14 days, the findings should be quite clear.

Five salad veggies have turned out to be antioxidant superstars. Toss a handful
into any bowl and you'll instantly up your defenses against everything from wrinkles
to heart disease and even help make your RealAge younger. Punch up the antioxidant power
even more by seasoning some olive oil and vinegar with a few of the herbs and spices
below. Health food doesn't get any easy-breezier!
5 Superstar Veggies
Artichokes
Radishes
Broccoli
Red chicory
Leeks
7 Stellar Seasonings
Sage
Rosemary
Marjoram
Thyme
Tarragon
Cumin
Fresh ginger
Garlic
The #1 Vegetable
Of the 27 vegetables scientists studied, the almighty artichoke led the antioxidant
pack. Plus it's rich in both fiber and folate, two good-for-you nutrients. Look for
plump but compact globe-like artichokes with thick, green, fresh-looking scales.
The Runners-Up
Radishes, broccoli, and even luscious leeks are stocked in most supermarkets. But
what's red chicory? An Italian salad favorite with an oddly appealing bitter taste.
Try mixing it with romaine.
The High-Powered Herbs and Spices
Sage, rosemary, and thyme...when Simon and Garfunkel made them famous, nobody knew
they had disease-fighting powers. Cumin, a spice used heavily in Indian food, is even
more impressive, as is ginger. But experiment: All of these seasonings are simple
ways to boost the health -- and flavor -- of any salad (soups too). Here's a get-you-
started recipe.
COOL-BEANS ARTICHOKE SALAD
This elegant mix is both light and filling -- perfect to serve a few friends on a
sultry night.
