Sycntrallia

Last week was busy for making breakthroughs in holes.

First we have the spectacular rescue of 33 Chilean miners from over 2000 feet deep in the Earth.

Like a fractal of the last few thousand years, those in the dark are rescued from above. Just when there seems to be no more hope, a thin hole is pierced and communication with above begins. Soon rescue packages reach those below in the dark and these "doves" from above bring hope, faith and sustenance. They even bring video equipment and movies.



Eventually those below and those above are ready for union/contact and the Phoenix is sent down. Like a rocket shooting up fireworks, the 33 rise and are reborn like a Phoenix to see a New Day.

A reality so bright they need Sunglasses.

What "bakes my noodle" as Jake likes to say is that the early Phoenix rescue of the miners surprised us all and happened 2 days after we released our most recent Patricia Arquette inspired sync video HAIR PEACE PART ONE.

Hair Peace Part 1 from Syncwinnipeg on Vimeo.

PART TWO of Hair Peace is very much about the rise of The Phoenix. Patricia Arquette resonates the Phoenix strongly. For this reason the last song I use in Hair Peace Part One is by the group PHOENIX and is called LOVE LIKE THE SUNSET.



Watching on TV the Chilean miner rescue 2 days after releasing Hair Peace Part 1 made me feel as if the Phoenix rescue was Part 2 of Hair Peace.

2 days after the miners are freed from the mine the World's Longest Tunnel is completely bored through and fully pierced. Read about it HERE.

This image below reminds me of a Church with all the orange clad work people looking up to their God the Big Drill that is finally piercing through the Rock.


I found these wHOLE events as some heavy sync.

Which leads us into this week and the last week of Libra.


Last night Comet 103P/Hartley 2 passed within 11 million km of the earth on it's trajectory through the Heavens.

It glows Green like the colour of the Heart Chakra.

Appropriately, the word Hartley can arrange itself as Heartly.

On October 20, 2010, this Green Heart flew by high in the sky.

October 20, 2010 can be written as 20.10.2010. (21+21=42)

October 20 is also the date in which Centrallia began in the Peg.

Centrallia is a global business forum.

I have loved for some time the symbolism that Centrallia exudes.

How perfect that Centrallia happens in The Heart of the Continent as the Green Heart in the Heavens passes over.


Just as Jupiter and the Moon is in conjunction in Pisces.


As the Moon becomes full Scorpio arrives on October 23. Scorpio is often associated with the eagle and the phoenix. I read somewhere that this symbolizes the path that consciousness must take from the lowly scorpion to the heavenly phoenix/eagle that takes flight.

This November the Phoenix is on our doorstep.


1 to 7.

A to G.

After G/7 is H/8.

If I had to take a stab at it I would say that A to G, 1 to 7 symbolizes the rise of the Kundalini/Serpent energy up the spine and to the crown.

8 turned sideways is the symbol for the Infinite and 7/G is the doorway to realizing such consciousness.

How perfect then that Scorpio is the 8th sign of the zodiac.

The rise of the Fenix 2 and the 33 Chilean miners is a nice sync wink to this Kundalini process. Perhaps a cue that the planetary Kundalini is at 7 and heading to 8/Scorpio and ready to awaken to the infinite.


I like how Joaquin Phoenix recently is known for his Sunglasses. Seems to go well with the brightness brought on by the rising Phoenix energy.

Joaquin resonates Fire and November/Scorpio as well. Below he is in Johnny Cash (JC) inspired Walk the Line. To Walk the Line is to walk in the centre/middle. To walk the line is to be balanced.



The Order of the Phoenix is almost here. The ladder is almost climbed. Snakes & Ladders is all it is.

The final Hairy Potter movie in the series is called The Deathly Hallows. Points us to Halloween. All Saints Day and the beginning of NOVAember.

On Halloween, October 31 in the midst of Scorpio (Phoenix) we honour the reverse birth of Joaquin's brother River Phoenix who died on that night at The Deadman Johnny Depp's Viper (Kundalini serpent?) Club.

Long live the River Phoenix!

Will add more if I can...

Peace

Jim

Update: I just wanted to throw out there the poster for the next SAW movie. The tag line is THE TRAPS COME ALIVE. The word TRAPS can also be PARTS.

The parts come alive on October 29. The Phoenix spreads it's wings and it's form is revealed.


Jake:
Above is Australian POP singer Kylie Minogue's (Born 28 May 1968 age 42) twitter profile pic. She wears a white bear costume. Jim says during his last trip to Mayantuyacu in Peru Shaman Juan Flores told him about an image of a white bear holding its hands cupped towards the sky. Jim has stressed many times since the potency of the white bear symbol.
This morning I was making my way over to meet Jim and reading tweets on my phone. I noticed Kylie talking about the Pyramids of Giza.
Here is a pic of the stage being built for her eniGma Magazine performance at Giza today.
"With the amazing Dr Zahi Hawass in front of the Sphinx...yes THE Sphinx!!! To see these sights is so incredible, moving and powerful."
From Kylie's Twitter feed.
The Capital G of eniGma is actually how it is styled and written. The G being highlighted.
Jim mentions A to G or 1 to 7 above. I saw this A to G lighter in Strangers on a Train last week. The device of Illumination on the symbol for entrainment aka The Train.

Kylie's first hit was the Locomation.
1 to 7 can be seen as the human ladder or pillar, each with a different color and being also a rainbow (having commonly 7 defined color bands) bridge to the divine.
The Masons who also resonate pyramids use the G as one of there most prominent symbols for divinity.

Kylie's latest album sees her as Goddess Aphrodite sometimes referenced as a daughter of Zeus/Jupiter.
The first single for the album is All the Lovers.
At one point white balloons are released looking like the recent NYC UFO sighting noted by Jennifer Palmer at Reality Sandwich in 2010: Contact?:

In possibly related news, a "silvery vision of a dozen balloon-like dots" was seen hovering in yesterday's clear blue NYC skies. Thousands saw the objects hovering over West 23rd Street around 1:30 PM EST on October 13, 2010--the same date that a retired U.S. Air Force General predicted there would be a "a massive UFO display over the world's principal cities."

From the link in that text:
Stanley A. Fulham said in his book ‘Challenges of Change’ that aliens will neither land nor communicate on that date and claimed they are ‘aware from eons of experience with other planets in similar conditions their sudden intervention would cause fear and panic'.
Daily Mail
I've heard Fulham is from Winnipeg but I can't verify that online... (That link which Kevin posted on Facebook expired. Anybody got this info?)
We also see a big elephant, funny as Jim made this tweet in the morning:

"There is a sync elephant in the room."
Also in All the Lovers Kylie is at the Apex atop this giant human pyramid with doves flying by.
Anyway much more to say but I gotta run. Can't blog much, my net at home isn't working yet...

Peace be with you until later my friends.

Oh yes!
This was what I wanted to say to begin with. Today after the sync walk with Jim I went by The Pyramid Cabaret (Funny enough I watched the film Cabaret a little later).
Jim mentioned he was posting about Phoenix as Johnny Cash and it was cool to see him at the Pyramids of Giza on the clubs mural.
O.K really gotta run home and sleep.

Good Red Night.

Up on the roof

"Oh you goddam fucking son of a bitch!"

Jack Torrance cried these words out in both surprise and agony as he slapped his right hand against his blue chambray workshirt, dislodging the big, slow-moving wasp that had stung him. . .

It was October 20. Wendy and Danny had gone down to Sidewinder in the hotel truck (an elderly, rattling Dodge that was still more trustworthy than the VW, which was now wheezing gravely and seemed terminal) to get three gallons of milk and do some Christmas shopping. It was early to shop, but there was no telling when the snow would come to stay.

On the 20th of October, my son and I went to our old library in our old neighborhood. It was a big deal because we hadn't done it in so long. This library near my old home was where I would often do my sync blogging on my days off. I called it my "office" on Harney Peak.

While tweeting from "the peak" on this day, I was reminded of this same time last year. If you recall--last year, Jim watched Knowing on the night before the very day the world was ending according to the film: 10/19/2009. He and Jake wrote about it the following day.

This year, in resonance with the last year and the film Knowing, The Astronomy Photo of the Day for the 18th of this month was an image of the largest recorded solar flare in history that occurred on the 5th of May this past spring. How long would be needed for a solar flare to take out "Everyone Else"?

If you examine my tweetings from the 20th, you will observe that something was up, that I was on fire--not necessarily a good thing either. This is also the day that I started into my audio version of Stephen King's The Shining.

But back to Harney Peak first. Harney Peak is special because Black Elk, the Sioux Shaman who foresaw the end of his people, stated that this was the world's central place. (of course in the same breath saying that anyplace is.)

“I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.” ^[6]

A tickle I noticed on the 20th was that the file name for the image of the plaque on the Harney Peak Lookout was labeled by whomever took it, "HP7". Recall how in the "Hair Peace" post, Jim connected Hair Peace with Harry Potter by way of the new film arriving entitled HP7. Jake then connected this to a film he was watching (as you well know) with the "A to G": 127

I'm pretty sure as these things were being discovered, Jake discussed The Overlook Hotel's room number 217. This room, as opposed to Stanley Kubrick's room number 237, is the one Danny is advised by the Hotel's cook to not go into. . .

This is exactly where I want to go this season to understand our fears of The Darkness.

The earth is our body, and it dies. Every year, the trees light themselves on fire and become skeletons before our eyes, (yet are reborn the following spring).

I've been feeling this. Summer is over, but the underworld of winter has not arrived. I wake in the morning and see the sun. There is greenery still about, and I have hope. Yet as the evening wears on and as the temperature drops, I'm filled with an unexplainable doubt, loneliness and sadness.

I wake, and repeat. This phoenix game that I've been playing for the past few days is siriusly a fucking drag. . . if I'm being dragged to hell, how can find my way out this this long dark night of the soul? To what can I look to for hope while I witness my body slowly dying?

As creatures of material, it is just so hard not to identify with material. How is it that we can be flesh, but not be effected by it's deterioration and death? Are we not this flesh, is it not truly what we are? I touched this when I worked on "&". Putting a duality into your mind is almost an automatic breakdown. Hal and Blaine will not stand for any silly games. (And this is the interesting slant in PKD's "Tractaces". Of course "Thing 2", the female, yin, twin seems "broken". We are viewing her through the lens of reason. I think he even mentions how "irrational" she is.) OK Computer, try this one out, "I am everything & I am nothing."

But back to hope. . .

The Phoenix Grace

One of the ways spirit in material reminds itself that it is more than the material within which it currently resides is through sync. As I pointed out (very subtly in my last two posts), being has been preparing us for our annual death. . .

On the 13th, many waited for the arrival of the "aliens"--as prompted by the report found here. Instead, the world was treated to the rise of the Phoneix--loud enough to get through to the densest of consciousnesses. This is the Phoenix Message, you shall rise!

This, the rescue of 33 Chilean miners from the San José gold mine is our guide through the Fall which I connected recently with the hopes of a scrappy little football team that could possibly become the National Champions. See they played San José State the Saturday following the mind rescue.

Mind? Stephen King does somethings very well. The Shining occurs in the winter. Though the body is dead, the mind is active. It's cold outside, but it's Jack's job to make sure that the boiler in the hotel doesn't explode because the pressure builds and needs to be released. Did I mention that Jack has a temper problem? The whole book is about seeing red. You know how hard it is to find constructive and practical ways of releasing pressure when one is locked into their mind. Getting trapped (or snowed in), in your head is a dangerous place because one ends up "crazy" through over identification with the mind. You start over thinking things, and create monsters out of thin air. You become a victim to your own self indulgent fantasies and a prisoner of your own mind. This is why the Overlook is high in the mountains. It is Jack's mind, and he is an angry and vengeful "Sky God" alone and above everyone. . .

Siriusly, the light from above, a portal to a new earth? The Phoenix Grace?. . . .The darkness is part of us, let it in, let it guide you, let it renew you. Face yourself and your monster and find forgiveness, just don't forget your shades for when you reemerge into the light, reborn. . . . becoming something new. . .

Kindly Rewinding- The Mega Powers, the Twin Towers and the Newly Ordered World

Ive recently been enjoying rewinding back to my childhood and watching Macho Man Randy Savage videos on Youtube. My real interest in him these days lies in some of the outstandingly esoteric dialouge that the Macho Man breaks into during the heat of his wacky and dramatic interviews. With Machos Esoteric rambling in mind I decided to check out a particularly strange fractal of a match from Febrauary 1989, this fractal contains an Wrestling Main Event featuring the Macho Man(MM) Randy Savage, Hollywood Hulk Hogan(HH), a tag team called "The Twin Towers"and sportscasters Mean Gene Oakerland and Governer Jesse Ventura back when he was a Wrestling announcer. Macho Man and Hulk team up as "The Mega Powers" and face "The Twin Towers" in a microcosmic fractal matchup that contains astonishing Synchronistic data pertaining to an even 12 years in the future. Enjoy



The synchronicities in this to me are pretty mind boggling. During the Mega Powers VS Twin Towers match from 1989 we have contextual mentions of Pearl Harbor arsttacks interfacing with the image of the Twin Towers 10 years before the Wolfowitz doctrine proposed the US needs"A new Pearl Harbor" in order to justify furthering US involvement in world affairs just before 9/11. Announcer Mean Gene while interviewing "The Twin Towers" specifically mentions Terrorist Attacks(this happens before both the 1993+2001 attacks) Mean Gene also asks the Mega Powers about the Demolition of the Twin Towers, as well as 42 connection to the Towers, and finally the destruction of the Twin Towers by the Mega Powers("Illuminati Elite"?) followed by the break up of the Mega Powers and the formation of the New World Order. We can see Rowdy Roddy Piper pinned against the WWFs New World Order just 15 years after he battles the New World Order Aliens in the Hollywood film "They Live".

They Live came out in the 1980s but is much more fit for Pop Consumption now than ever. In this flick we see Rowdy Roddy Piper in a dystopian world of hypnotized consumer citizens controlled by a ruling elite. Roddy, unemployed and living in a hobo camp, runs into a group of rebels who are manufacturing "Hoffman Lenses", glasses that when placed over the eyes reveal the subliminal messages beneath the surface of the media.



This is a major hint at the LSD revolution, the narrative here to me is that when the people got their hands on LSD culture was able to break through the illusiory reality, the matrix of the world of materiality and consumption, with hightened consciousness the mind cannot be overpowered by the use of subliminal suggestion.





Even more pertinant is that Roddy Piper while wrestling in the WWF years after making this film, completes the fractal by being an opponent of the "New World Order", and in the very end of "They Live" we see Roddy Piper learning that the ruling elite of his planet, are actually reptilian aliens who steal human bodies to gain resources from different planets. After 9/11/2001 the narratives of Illuminati Conspiracies, Reptilian Aliens, the Matrix etc, this film resonates alot more with modern times.


The heart of the matter here is that we are being shown that these processes are beyond time, and beyond the people that are involved in these narratives. The movement and organization of all of this synchronistic energy is in my opinion not just the work of conspiracies of humans alone, I beleive even when we are seeing humans conspiring to change events on Earth, we are seeing a movement of energies and forces that are simply beyond the people creating them, the acts are a revelation of a pattern and a story, a story that is written by the totality of all things. When we can view these things without judgement and without any intent of playing the "blame" game, we can rest in the mystery and awe in the forces that have moved and shaped man an the universe with full clarity. Im not saying that harmful conspiracies and acts of war and hate are justifiable or excusable, that is a whole different story, as Ive said what Im trying to explore here is the simple movement of a narrative thats its beyond time and forms..


Alex Greys "Gaia" features the Towers and Two Planes, yet another fractal from 1989.

Just after mixing this video my younger brother called me to tell me to turn on the Television to the TruTV channel. On this channel was Jessie Ventura who in the above video references the 1989 wrestling as being analagous with the Watergate Conspiracy and Cover up. After the 2001 Terrorist Attacks Jessie Ventura was a foremost Pop Media 9/11 Coverup and continues to explore conspiracys on his own TV show called "Conspiracy' these days. We can see the Fractal between the 1989 Twin Towers and Mega Powers Match Cover up, as well as Venturas later interest in the Twin Towers Coverup.



















Much Love and Blessings all, Peach In and Out <3

Semangat Kemerdekaan Indonesia

Semangat Kemerdekaan Indonesia

Tak terasa kita sudah memasuki bulan Agustus, bulan proklamasi dan kemerdekaan bangsa kita. Sebagai anak bangsa, tentu kita patut bangga dengan jasa para proklamator dan pahlawan bangsa yang menghantarkan kita hingga sampai pada 65 tahun yang bebas dari tangan para penjajah. Betapa banyak cucuran keringat dan darah yang harus mereka tumpahkan demi mencapai kemerdekaan yang hakiki.

17 Agustus 1945, tanggal tersebut tampak begitu biasa bagi kita. Kita berpendapat tanggal tersebut adalah peringatan hari proklamasi Indonesia setiap tahunnya. Apa istimewanya? Setiap tahun selalu sama. Upacara bendera, pramuka, lomba panjat pinang, tarik tambang, dan sederet kegiatan rutin lainnya membuat diri kita lupa apa arti proklamasi itu sesungguhnya. Perayaan hari kemerdekaan seolah hanya menjadi formalitas dan rutinitas tanpa makna. Sungguh memprihatinkan.

Kemerdekaan adalah mimpi bagi semua bangsa di dunia. Negara manapun di dunia ini menginginkan kemerdekaan dan bebas dari belenggu penjajah. Demikian pula dengan bangsa kita. Ir. Soekarno dan Moh. Hatta ingin bangsa Indonesia bisa berdiri tegak sejajar dengan bangsa-bangsa lainnya. Mereka sadar bahwa Indonesia tidak akan pernah maju jika terus menerus berada dalam belenggu para penjajah. Akhirnya dengan dorongan kaum muda dan bantuan sejumlah tokoh nasional, mereka berhasil merumuskan naskah proklamasi.

Pembacaan naskah proklamasi di Jalan Pegangsaan Timur No. 56 memberi bangsa Indonesia harapan untuk bangkit. Bangkit dari belenggu penjajahan, kemiskinan, penyiksaan, dan bangkit melawan para penjajah. Masyarakat Indonesia yang awalnya bersifat kedaerahan, kini bersatu padu membentuk kekuatan baru. Tak heran muncul semboyan “Bhineka Tunggal Ika” yang bermakna berbeda-beda tetapi satu juga. Semangat bangsa Indonesia untuk menjadikan Indonesia sebagai negara yang berdaulat sangat besar. Mereka sadar kemerdekaan adalah kesempatan mereka untuk mengembangkan diri.

Kita harus meneladani sikap masyarakat Indonesia pada saat itu. Kita harus belajar untuk menghargai setiap perbedaan, baik suku, agama, ras, dan antargolongan (SARA). Tanamkan semangat 1945 dalam diri kita masing-masing. Kalahkan musuh kemalasan dan kecurangan yang ada dalam diri kita. Saya yakin dan percaya bahwa kita dapat merdeka dan berprestasi layaknya bangsa Indonesia. Selamat merenungkan makna Hari Kemerdekaan Indonesia, 17 Agustus 1945!

Shell Helix : Optimalisasi Kinerja Mesin Ferrari dalam Event Otomotif

Lomba Menulis Oli Shell Kriteria Blog
Tema : “Kemitraan Teknik antara Shell dan Ferrari, dan Peran Shell Helix dalam Kemitraan Itu”

Shell Helix : Optimalisasi Kinerja Mesin Ferrari dalam Event Otomotif

Shell dan Ferrari dapat dikatakan sebagai mitra paling sukses sepanjang sejarah dunia. Mengapa? Kerjasama teknik ini mendapatkan hasil terbaik di event bergengsi olahraga otomotif saat pabrik Scuderia Ferrari berdiri untuk pertama kalinya di Maranello tahun 1947. Pengalaman dan pengetahuan yang dimiliki Shell berdampak penting bagi kesuksesan Ferrari di lintasan balap. Hal ini terlihat dari kemenangan Ferrari pertama melalui pembalap JosÈ Froilan Gonzalez di GP Silverstone pada tahun 1951 dengan mengendarai Ferrari 375. Shell membantu mengoptimalkan kinerja mesin Ferrari dalam berbagai ajang balapan.

Prestasi yang sangat membanggakan dari kemitraan ini adalah sukses mengantar Michael Schumacher dan Ferrari meraih 5 gelar juara dunia pembalap dan konstruktor secara berturut-turut (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004). Hal ini didukung oleh Shell Helix yang berperan aktif sebagai bahan bakar dan oli berkualitas yang membuat kinerja mesin Ferrari jauh lebih baik dibandingkan merek kendaraan balap lainnya.

Sumbangsih Shell dalam menghantarkan Ferrari ke puncak kesuksesannya diapresiasi dengan baik oleh Ferrari. Shell mendapat anugerah penghargaan tertinggi dari Ferrari sebagai mitra teknikal resmi terbaik dan terinovatif pada tahun 2007. Penghargaan ini diberikan karena hasil kinerja terbaik dari produk Shell selama mendukung Ferrari di lintasan balap Formula 1.

Shell kembali memperpanjang kerjasama sebagai mitra teknikal Ferrari hingga tahun 2010 pada GP San Marino Italia tahun 2005 sebagai wujud kemitraan yang bersimbiosis mutualisme. Dapat dipastikan bahwa setiap ajang balap Formula 1 akan memberikan keuntungan dan nilai tambah terhadap produk-produk Shell bagi kinerja Ferrari.

Shell berhasil mengembangkan kinerja terbaik dari bahan bakar Shell V-Power dan mendapatkan ketahanan mesin terbaik melalui oli Shell Helix. Pengembangan dan penelitian ini dilakukan di lintasan balap Formula 1. Uji coba ini dilakukan untuk menciptakan produk yang kompetitif untuk penggunaan di jalan raya dan memiliki kekuatan perlindungan terhadap mesin untuk semua jenis mobil di seluruh dunia.

Lisa Lilley, Manager Teknologi Shell untuk F1 mengatakan, “Kebijakan penghentian pengembangan mesin baru ini memberikan peluang besar kepada Shell. Produk Shell akan menjadi faktor penting yang akan membedakan kinerja mobil disetiap lintasan balap. Shell menjadi lebih fokus untuk memberikan Shell Helix sebagai pelumas terbaik mesin mobil Ferrari dan membantunya untuk tetap kompetitif di lintasan. Sebaliknya ini akan menjadi dapur uji terbaik untuk mentransfer teknologi yang sama dan memberikan akses kepada konsumen akan teknologi terbaru yang ada pada oli mobil komersial, Shell Helix Ultra.” Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Shell sangat berperan aktif dalam membantu Ferrari di ajang Formula 1 yang bergengsi.

Ferrari dikenal sebagai pabrik nomor satu di dunia dalam hal ketahanan mesin di ajang Formula 1. Selama ini, Ferrari sangat jarang sekali mengalami kerusakan mesin di lapangan balap. Berbeda dengan mobil balap keluaran pabrik lainnya yang tidak ditunjang oleh oli Shell Helix yang berkualitas, sehingga mobil balap mereka cepat panas dan mengalami kerusakan jika dikendarai dalam jangka waktu yang lama. Shell mewujudkan mimpi terbesar Ferrari untuk mencapai prestasi terbaiknya.

Arfindi Batubara, Marketing Manager Lubricant Shell Indonesia mengatakan, "Kemitraan Shell dan tim Ferrari F1, termasuk Michael Schumacher selama bertahun-tahun telah menghasilkan kesuksesan di sirkuit F1. Hal ini juga menjadi dasar pengembangan produk pelumas mobil Shell Helix demi memberikan produk yang terbaik bagi konsumen."

Kerjasama Shell di lintasan balap bersama Ferrari berhasil mentransformasikan teknologi untuk menghasilkan rangkaian lengkap produk oli terbaik untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mobil kamu dalam berbagai varian Shell Helix, antara lain Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40, Shell Helix Plus 10W-40, Shell Helix Super 15W-50, Shell Helix 20W-50 (red), Shell Helix Diesel Plus 10W-40, dan Shell Helix Diesel Super 15W-40.

Keenam produk ini memiliki kandungan pembersih khusus yang dapat mengikat semua kotoran dan kerak (Active Cleansing Agents), sehingga memberikan pelumasan yang maksimal dan proteksi terhadap mesin. Dalam hal ini, Ferrari merekomendasikan penggunaan Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 karena menunjang performa mesin baru tetap tinggi karena akan membersihkan dan melindungi mesin secara maksimal.

Lain halnya dengan Shell Helix Plus 10W-40. Produk ini sangat cocok untuk digunakan untuk membersihkan mesin secara maksimal dan memiliki stabilitas oksidasi yang mampu mencegah penurunan kualitas oli. Shell Helix Super 15W-50 juga memberikan perlindungan terpercaya pada mesin. Produk unggulan Shell lainnya adalah Shell Helix Diesel Plus 10W-40. Produk ini memberikan perlindungan ekstra mesin diesel dalam segala kondisi berkendara atau tanpa pemanasan, membantu penghematan penggunaan bahan bakar karena efisiensi kerja mesin, dan ramah lingkungan karena memiliki kadar klorin yang rendah.

Menurut tes laboratorium yang diselenggarakan di Eropa membuktikan bahwa getaran mesin diesel dapat dikurangi sebanyak 20% jika menggunakan Shell Helix dibandingkan oli mesin lainnya. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Shell sangat memperhatikan kualitas produk dan menjaga citra baik dengan konsumen. Dengan mempekerjakan para ilmuwan handal, Shell tak hent-hentinya menciptakan formula baru yang dapat menjaga mesin tetap awet dan bersih seperti baru. Saya juga sangat mengapresiasi upaya Shell dalam membangun kemitraan yang baik dengan Ferrari.

Saya berharap prestasi dan pencapaian Shell dapat lebih ditingkatkan dari hari ke hari dengan menjaga kemitraan teknik dengan Ferrari. Dengan performa, kualitas, dan komposisi yang pas untuk mesin kendaraan apapun, Shell layak untuk disandangkan gelar sebagai produsen oli terbaik dunia. Sebagai mitra yang sangat berperan dalam menunjang kesuksesan Ferrari, Shell juga memiliki tanggung jawab moral pada masyarakat dunia, yakni menghasilkan produk unggulan yang kompetitif dan ampuh dalam menciptakan mesin bersih. Selamat menjalin kemitraan teknik dan menelurkan prestasi sebanyak mungkin dengan penggunaan Shell Helix di lapangan Formula One!

Rumah Kayu : Upaya Protektif dalam Menghadapi Gempa

Kompetisi Karya Publikasi “Rumah Aman Gempa” Kategori Multimedia Nonformal
Tema : “Rumah Aman Gempa untuk Indonesia”
Tema Khusus : “Kearifan lokal masyarakat tradisional dalam menciptakan rumah aman gempa”

Rumah Kayu : Upaya Protektif dalam Menghadapi Gempa

Menurut pakar gempa dari Universitas Andalas, Dr. Badrul Mustapa Kemal, Indonesia memiliki daerah yang rawan gempa bumi, tsunami, serta rawan letusan gunung api terjadi di sepanjang "ring of fire", mulai dari Sumatra, Jawa, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Banda, hingga Maluku. Fakta ini mendasari terjadinya gempa dahsyat di Padang, Sumatera Barat pada 30 September 2009. Gempa yang telah menghancurkan rumah penduduk sebanyak 249.833 unit ini meninggalkan luka mendalam bagi penduduk Padang. Belum lagi jatuhnya korban jiwa dan kerugian materiil yang tidak terhitung jumlahnya.

Peristiwa ini menyadarkan kita untuk tetap waspada dan melakukan antisipasi dalam menghadapi gempa. Hal ini dilakukan untuk meminimalisasi korban dan kerugian yang ditimbulkan. Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Nasional (BNPB) dalam hal ini berperan aktif dalam menciptakan rumah aman gempa untuk mencegah dampak kerusakan parah akibat gempa yang seringkali terjadi di Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah dengan mempelajari rumah masyarakat tradisional yang umumnya terbuat dari kayu.

Rumah kayu merupakan salah satu solusi efektif dalam menciptakan rumah aman gempa. Sebagai contoh, kita dapat melihat rumah penduduk yang ada di Kampung Naga. Pada musibah gempa bumi berkekuatan 7,3 SR yang terjadi pada 2 September 2009 lalu, ternyata seluruh rumah warga Kampung Naga di Desa Neglasari, Kecamatan Salawu, Kabupaten Tasikmalaya tidak ada yang rusak, meskipun lokasinya berdekatan dengan Desa Karangmukti yang menjadi korban gempa. Mereka menggunakan kayu sebagai bahan baku utama dalam pembuatan rumah.

Juru kunci Kampung Naga, Ade Suherlin mengungkapkan bahwa bangunan rumah adat tradisional di Kampung Naga mampu bertahan dari guncangan gempa bumi, bahkan hingga di atas kekuatan 10 SR. Hal ini patut diadaptasi BNPB sebagai upaya solutif dalam menciptakan rumah aman gempa yang sudah teruji di lapangan. Rupanya struktur dan pondasi bangunan rumah warga di Kampung Naga didesain dengan filosofi adat Sunda, yakni terbuat dari bahan kayu, bambu, dan menggunakan atap reng tanpa paku atau hanya menggunakan bambu penyangga yang disebut garumpai.

Garumpai yang digunakan sebagai tiang penyangga ini ternyata berfungsi untuk menjaga kepekaan kontruksi bangunan. Jika ada guncangan bisa mengikuti gerakan, lentur, dan fleksibel. Berbeda dengan rumah yang dibangun dari beton, kerangka bangunan yang keras dapat dipatahkan oleh kekuatan gempa dan mengakibatkan kerusakan parah pada rumah. Tiang penyangga yang terbuat dari beton juga sangat membahayakan keselamatan jiwa, jika rubuh dalam gempa.

Begitu pula Rumah Gadang yang ada di Padang. Gempa berkekuatan 7,9 SR pada 30 September 2009 tidak mampu merubuhkan rumah-rumah Gadang yang berbahan dasar kayu. Rumah Gadang berukuran 9 x 8 meter ini dibuat seperti rumah panggung, tingginya dua meter dari tanah dengan 16 tiang. Empat tiang berjejer masing-masing menopang bagian beranda hingga bagian belakang rumah. Tonggak rumah ini terbuat dari sebatang pohon kayu keras dan bulat dengan diameter 20 cm.

Kita dapat mengimplementasikan bahan dasar rumah Gadang yang terbuat dari jenis kayu Banio dan Surian yang tua dan keras, yang digunakan mulai dari dinding hingga tiangnya, sehingga berwarna coklat tua. Menurut masyarakat adat yang tinggal di rumah Gadang ini, pemeliharaan kayu agar tidak cepat lapuk sangatlah mudah. Cukup tinggali dan sapu rumah setiap hari. Kekuatan kayu ini juga diyakini mampu ditinggali tiga generasi tanpa kerusakan berarti akibat gempa.

Bahan pembuatan rumah Gadang dan Kampung Naga dapat menjadi pedoman bagi sektor konstruksi Indonesia dalam membangun rumah aman gempa secara berkesinambungan. Pemerintah dapat mengimbau para pelaku konstruksi yang ada di wilayah rawan gempa untuk menerapkan rumah kayu sebagai upaya protektif dalam menghadapi gempa. Rumah yang identik dengan masyarakat tradisional ini sudah sepatutnya kita tiru agar korban dan kerugian akibat gempa dapat diminimalisir.

Pembuatan rumah kayu ini sendiri dapat dilakukan dengan adanya sosialisasi dan pelatihan secara intensif dari BNPB dan pemerintah untuk membuat struktur rumah kayu yang tepat dalam menanggulangi gempa. Dalam hal ini, peran masyarakat tradisional sangat vital dalam mengarahkan dan mengajarkan kita untuk membuat rumah kayu aman gempa dengan baik dan benar. Upaya ini dilakukan bukan untuk menghalangi laju pembangunan modern, namun sebagai solusi dalam mendegradasi korban jiwa dan kerusakan rumah yang terjadi akibat gempa.

Saya berharap pemerintah dapat mengadopsi metode pembuatan rumah masyarakat tradisional ini guna menciptakan rumah aman gempa bagi setiap penduduk Indonesia.

How do you view the island?

Hell?

Heaven?

The Fall can be a difficult time. Although it is the season that I speak of here, part of the inspiration for this post comes from the other Fall. . .

A component of light is darkness--here I'm speaking in terms of photons, yet this is also true of Angels, thus a component of the light [god] is the darkness [devils, daemons, aliens, etc.], but there are many of us that don't want to face this. If our world is split neatly into two antithetical groups, one being favored over the other, i.e. "Good" over "Bad"--naturally one would move toward the light and away from the darkness. We ascribe the "Bad" upon "the other". Yet it is in this season of death that we try and face our portion the darkness--to try and find balance in "The Mean".

My own recent journey into the darkness and subsequent ego death began with a comment by Eleleth in the post spawned by Jim and Jake's latest masterpeach, Hair Peace. After posting about the philosophers' stone, I was lead by Eleleth's comment to a gnostic website dealing with Harry Potter and Alchemy [Harry Potter For Seekers]. I found an interesting essay on this site and read from it on the morning of the 13th of rOctober. The essay presented what I've come to understand as the gnostic cosmology:

This universe is not the real universe.

This life is not real living.

This world is not the one God created.

What we are living in here today is a pointless prison, a lunatic asylum, a desert devoid of real life, an endless merry-go-round of birth, futile physical life, death, astral life, and rebirth. At best it’s a kindergarten for those willing to learn. At worst it’s life in ‘The Matrix’.

We are here because we chose to abandon the Real World millions of years ago. In a process called The Fall we decided we had better things to do than carry out God’s Plan and so we caused the formation of a universe and a life outside of that Plan.

And so here we are in a self-made prison where we, as the human race, are actively killing, enslaving, and exploiting each other, and raping, polluting and destroying our planet.

The Real World still exists, though we should think of it as a state of being rather than a place. It is a state of being that is eternal, absolute, perfect and devoid of suffering and evil. It is known by names such as Nirvana and the Kingdom of Heaven. The ancient Chinese philosophy calls it Tao.

The author thankfully shares with us his idea of where to find The Exit from this our so called prison. He believes that Alchemy is the path to God for the seeker who can identify with Psalm 42:

As a hart longs for flowing streams,

so my heart longs for thee, O god.

My soul thirsts for God,

for the living God.

Later that same day, I dropped the needle so to speak on my audio version of Valis. It was perfect too, just before chapter 13--which I thought was appropriate on this day, the 13th of October [waiting for the aliens to come].

I listened all the way to the end and again was treated with a gnostic cosmology in the form of his "Tractates":

Tractates Cryptica Scriptura

(Exegesis from the novel VALIS by Philip K. Dick 1981)

29. We did not fall because of a moral error; we fell because of an intellectual error: that of taking the phenomenal world as real. Therefore we are morally innocent. It is the Empire in its various disguised polyforms which tells us we have sinned. "The Empire never ended."

42. To fight the Empire is to be infected by its derangement. This is a paradox: whoever defeats a segment of the Empire becomes the Empire; it proliferates like a virus, imposing its form on its enemies. Thereby it becomes its enemies.

47. TWO SOURCE COSMOGONY: The One was and was-not, combined, and desired to separate the was-not from the was. So it generated a diploid sac which contained, like an eggshell, a pair of twins, each an androgyny, spinning in opposite directions (the Yin and Yang of Taoism, with the One as the Tao). The plan of the One was that both twins would emerge into being (was-ness) simultaneously; however, motivated by a desire to be (which the One implanted in both twins), the counter-clockwise twin broke through the sac and separated prematurely; i.e. before full term. This was the dark or Yin twin. Therefore it was defective. At full term the wiser twin emerged. Each twin formed a unitary entelechy, a single living organism made of psyche and soma, still rotating in opposite directions to each other. The full term twin, called Form I by Parmenides, advanced correctly through its growth stages, but the prematurely born twin, called Form II, languished.

The next step in the One's plan was that the Two would become the Many, through their dialetic interaction. From them as hyperuniverses they projected a hologram-like interface, which is the pluriform universe we creatures inhabit. The two sources were to intermingle equally in maintaining our universe, but Form II continued to languish toward illness, madness and disorder. These aspects she projected into our universe.

It was the One's purpose for our hologramatic universe to serve as a teaching instrument by which a variety of new lives advanced until ultimately they would be isomorphic with the One. However, the decaying condition of hyperuniverse II introduced malfactors which damaged our hologramatic universe. This is the origin of entropy, undeserved suffering, chaos and death, as well as the Empire, the Black Iron Prison; in essence, the aborting of the proper health and growth of the life forms within the hologramatic universe. Also, the teaching function was grossly impaired, since only the signal from the hyperuniverse I was information-rich; that from II had become noise.

The psyche of hyperuniverse I sent a micro-form of itself into hyperuniverse II to attempt to heal it. The micro-form was apparent in our hologramatic universe as Jesus Christ. However, hyperuniverse II, being deranged, at once tormented, humiliated, rejected and finally killed the micro-form of the healing psyche of her healthy twin. After that, hyperuniverse II continued to decay into blind, mechanical, purposeless causal processes. It then became the task of Christ (more properly the Holy Spirit) to either rescue the life forms in the hologramatic universe, or abolish all influences on it emanating from II. Approaching its task with caution, it prepared to kill the deranged twin, since she cannot be healed; i.e. she will not allow herself to be healed because she does not not understand that she is sick. This illness and madness pervades us and makes us idiots living in private, unreal worlds. The original plan of the One can only be realized now by the division of hyperuniverse I into two healthy hyperuniverses, which will transform the hologramatic universe into the successfull teaching machine it was designed to be. We will experience this as the "Kingdom of God."

Within time, hyperuniverse II remains alive: "The Empire never ended." But in eternity, where the hyperuniverses exist, she has been killed—of necessity—by the healthy twin of hyperuniverse I, who is our champion. The One grieves for this death, since the One loved both twins; therefore the information of the Mind consists of a tragic tale of the death of a woman, the undertones of which generate anguish into all the creatures of the hologrammatic universe without their knowing why. This grief will depart when the healthy twin undergoes mitosis and the "Kingdom of God" arrives. The machinery for this transformation—the procession within time from the Age of Iron to the Age of Gold—is at work now; in eternity it is already accomplished.

Let's try and bring this back to the island. . . our prison, . . .

Yes, I am treading very lightly here. I need to touch this duality, but I don't want to intellectualize it because it will drive you mad--and not good mad, the kind you have with tea and bunnies, but the kind that spins you out of control. I mean, is the whole point to find the exit? That life is utterly pointless aside from this? That Jack Torrance isn't insane, but righteously casting off the illusions of reality?

Is getting off the island the point?

So yes, we are broken and fallen.

Do we merely wait for God to hear our prayers?

Can we really believe in God? And is this kinda like waiting for aliens?

because the aliens never come (in the form we expect)

So then, how do we exit this prison?

Can one really learn the secrets of the universe and escape?

but what about the other prisoners, who's going to free them?

what if you are their savior?

We do tend to kill our saviors though, (as noted by PKD in his Tractates . . .)

but you do get to shine like a star. . .

(at least for one night anyway)

Wait. . . are we all in agreement that we hate this island and need to get off?

Is there anyone who really thinks it heaven and not hell?

Now for the big switcheroo. I'm not talking macrocosm. This post isn't about the point of life. This post is detailing my microcosm and the point of my life. And all the dualistic agony is my ego tricking me into division away from wholeness wrapped up in my job and the idea of the work I really should be doing.

In the glass house post I began to stop seeing the parts and tried to take it all in. Part of that was showing those realms where I have influence--and this is a key distinction. In all my realms I don't control anything (despite all my desire to be in charge of my fate). All I can do is try and have a positive influence. I may be the king, but I am not in charge! (This is a position that is less than satisfactory for any egoic structure!)

Yes, I can see that you're Lost now. The dysfunction that PKD speaks of--that which was manifesting in and from "Thing 2", the feminine, dark, yin twin born of the one--I can sense in all my realms. . . but especially on the island, at my money work job--the so called "day-to-day trenches of adult life"

realms?

Although my realms are one [I only have the one life], science and the glass house post would deconstruct them thusly:

Work = Mind

Home = Heart

Sync = spirit

My suffering, and my regular darkness occurs at the level of my mind. The amount of dysfunction at my job is staggering. My boss so closely resembles the description of PKD's "Twin Two" that I'm astounded. Her system is breaking my co-workers. It creates suffering and sadness in its unconsciousness. She is not evil, and has such a warm heart, yet it's her desire for total control that's creating the stagnation in the system and the sadness. At times though, I think that this blue-collar, low-paying job is exactly where I'm supposed to be in this universe--although I do nothing but dream of escape. I tend to think of this place as the black iron prison. The Empire never ended. Yet. . .

The king really needs to be healed. And it's my job to do it, or it doesn't happen. See I am both the wounded King, and the savior. Concretely though, we do have a king at my job [my boss's boss who probably is responsible for her dysfunction, partly] and he too is not whole . . . he needs a savior, someone to show him the way out of his own dysfunction/disease, but God do I fucking hate this place. My own department really is like the island of misfit toys--all so stupid and broken, sad and alone. (I love them.) I long to hop in my boat and sail back to my mother where she will have reheated my dinner and stroke my hair as I eat. I want away from these monsters who have less education and more responsibility-- who are less articulate and make so much more money than I, (of course this is only important to ego). I mean Jesus, how come I'm not king of the world yet!

Andy Dufrain was wrongfully imprisoned, but he wasn't a victim, and he did make the lives of the other prisoners around him better just by his presence. He eventually did break out though. He found The Exit. An interesting portion of the tarot and the hero's journey is how after the tower of false consciousness falls, the prisoners are freed and the so called wasteland becomes the garden again upon the return.

What I'm saying is that, I'm unwilling to say that this life is a lie. Maybe the island wasn't real, but it was beautiful and meaningful to all those who experienced it. What is real? I mix with so many different and good people at my job, and they bring me joy!

It is my ego that wants off the island, into a job that I can tell people that I proudly and importantly do. It doesn't care that Melville was customs agent, or that Kafka was an insurance rep. My ego needs to be a BIG man. It thinks that being a fucking "Workman" on the island is so not cutting it. And the dream is that Oprah Claus will come riding in on her magic couch and gives us all book deals, or that Wes Anderson will want to co-write his next picture with me, or that Christopher Nolan will hire the entire Sync Whole as part of his consulting team for his next film. . .

"More than this, you know there's nothing. . ."

perhaps the freedom for which we yearn is from the jailer that is our ego?

How do you view the island?
