Though, for most, the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (Libor) interest rate fixing scandal appears to be distant and far too complex to understand, its potential consequences may be as economically devastating as a world war.

The Libor is used to set payments on $800 trillion worth of financial instruments. It sets the prices that people and corporations pay for loans and receive for savings. Given that the fraud impacted $10 trillion in consumer loans, the Libor scandal will likely leave a long list of previous financial scandals that contributed to the Great Recession look like child’s play.

Swiss banks must lure affluent clients from emerging markets or face a "slow death" as the pursuit of tax dodgers by U.S. and European authorities results in outflows of assets, industry officals and investors said.

Western Europeans may pull as much as 135 billion francs ($139 billion), or 15 percent of their holdings, from Swiss banks, said Herbert Hensle of Cap Gemini SA. Bank Sarasin & Cie. AG reported last week that private clients withdrew 3 billion francs from Swiss locations in the year through June.

U.S. regulators were so suspicious of the circumstances surrounding Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD)’s Nov. 21 announcement it was buying Pharmasset Inc. for $11 billion that they opened an insider-trading investigation that day.

“The volume was huge and the deal premium was huge, so we looked at the underlying trading,” U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Mary P. Hansen said in a phone interview.“We were looking at anyone who bought shares.”

Emotional Cancer

 

 

by GLR Tom Kenyon

The concept first occurred to me during a training in Anchorage, Alaska several years ago.

I was teaching how sound could be used to unwind emotion for the purpose of psychological healing. A woman, let’s call her Rose, volunteered for the session in which I would model the technique. As part of the demonstration, I asked her to focus on an area of her body that felt uncomfortable, the idea being that emotions often seem to reside in certain areas of the body.

She said that her kidneys were sore and painful. Rose then volunteered the information that she had just gotten out of the hospital where she had been treated for kidney failure. It was a very scary ordeal for her, as you can well imagine. She was now on dialysis and her name was on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.

I coached her how to move her awareness into her kidneys, and to make sounds on the exhale. I told her to imagine that the sounds were actually coming from her kidneys and to listen to her own sounds as she relaxed deeper into the exhales.

Lucas – The Way To Go – 8 August 2012

Posted on August 8, 2012 by lucas2012infos 

The way to go is like a  bottle of heaven falling on your canvas, splashes of rainbow and crystals lighting up  geometric figures dancing in the picture.

The way to go is like remembering your deepest feeling of gratitude and love towards all living on this beautiful creature Gaia that provides our home.  

The way to go is experiencing unconditional love that turns your heart and being in a radiant star that shines your laughing  joyous being in all its glory.

The way to go is  dreaming the world you always wanted to have and being surprised you have manifested it by just doing so.

Keshe Foundation – Keshe Foundation Seminars And Teaching Program Announcement – 8 August 2012

Posted on August 8, 2012 by lucas2012infos 

In line with our programs and the opening of the Keshe Foundation research and development program, the Foundation has set out to prepare and publish 4 new books in PDF form.

These books are based on the published and unpublished patents of the Foundation and will become the core books for the Institute’s teaching. From now we will be teaching the full technology to those who we think are ready to learn and to add to the resources of mankind.

These books will be published in the coming months and will be made available free of charge in PDF format so that everybody on earth will have access to this knowledge at the same time. The hardback copy will be the same price as other books on the site.

Through our seminars we have learned that there are very many people who would like to be a student of the Foundation, and who are all from different technologies and disciplines. Therefore we are preparing to launch our worldwide direct teaching in the coming months.

Through our experience we have decided to bring old and new together so that people can understand the new technology and its connection and relationship with the knowledge of the past.

Gloria Wendroff – The Heavenletters – Far Beyond – 8 August 2012

Posted on August 8, 2012 by lucas2012infos 
God said:

That which is beyond understanding is that which counts. All that which is known doesn’t need your approbation. It doesn’t need you at all. Encyclopedias are filled with all the known, the examined, the applauded. That which cannot be examined is the fuel of your life.

The power of your life stars, yet it stars in the background. It is a hidden hand. This unseen hand bears no resemblance to the bluffing of the Wizard of Oz. He had a false front. I am speaking of the Truth of All That Is. I am speaking of the Truth that lies behind the stage, that lies way beyond the stage.

Life on Earth is not a set-up, beloveds, yet it is made up the way a bed is made up. It is for you to lie on. You lie on it. You live on it. You do not look at the bed you lie on. As you lie on it, you look up. You look up at the sky above. Beyond the sky, beyond where you lie — that is where Heaven exists, and, yet, at the same time, Heaven lies within you. You are your own telescope. You are your own astronomer. You are the Vastness that seems to be held out away from your very reach, and, yet, it is within you and within your reach.

Valerie Donner – The Ground Crew – Going For Gold – And A Message From Sanat Kumara – 8 August 2012

Posted on August 8, 2012 by lucas2012infos 

Dear Ground Crew:

We are going for the gold! Yes, we are the spiritual athletes, whether we realize it or not. We have been advancing towards our ascension target. Now we are closer than ever.

In recent sessions with clients I am seeing that some people need to go more for the gold. By this I mean-the Golden Light of the Christed energy and it is used for spiritual protection. When you surround yourself in the Golden Light of the Christ and put it before you the protection is there. You can also send this Light to loved ones or in places around the planet where healing and protection are needed. Follow your heart with this. It is here for us to use.

Many are having intense challenges right now. As we accelerate towards the end of the year these will continue until we work through them. That is the purpose of our heightened emotions. We need to release fear and old issues.

MAGIC CLOUD - Luas*** -

 

08/08/2012 by John Smallman

 

We are getting very close to the event for which you, the Light-workers, have been hoping and praying.  It seems to many of you that the waiting has been interminable, even though you know that time and your experience of it are illusory.  But, as you have discovered, even though it is illusory, the illusion is a tough and frequently very unforgiving environment.  However, you have continued to hold the intent to awaken despite your anxieties and doubts, and as a result the Light you bear has brightened enormously and is helping others, as you demonstrate peace, compassion, forgiveness, and acceptance, mainly unhampered by self-righteous discrimination or judgment.

Tried to upload this during the AM -- kicked out twice -- lol @ dropped calls online..

Nonetheless.. watch Texas for the next 24-48 hours still --- so far (today august 7 2012) we have seen hail, and damaging winds form in north Texas / Oklahoma.. heading southeast in the general direction of Austin / San Antonio / Houston.

here is a general description of what I think is occurring frequency-wise (to cause these storms to be drawn toward each epicenter):
