Usain Bolt
Breaks World Records
The first thing people assumed when they first laid eyes on this 6'5" Bolt of lightning from Trelawny, Jamaica was that he must be taking some type of steroids or something illegal. There's nothing illegal this young man is doing. "It is all about the amount of training you put in and the focus which you have. When you are focused and you work hard towards your goal, things will happen for you. All you have to do is just train and be focused and you'll get there." So, to all the skeptics, deal with it! Give the Brotha his props. More>>>

Large Hadron Collider
Could they create a black hole?
They changed the date.

One part of the collider.

This is called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A group of scientists have been working on this project for the past 14-years. They have already postponed turning on the switch once before because there was a glitch in the matrix. Could there be another glitch for their upcoming August 7, 2008 date? YES. They changed the date to September 10th. We will just have to wait and see if they change it again. But what could happen if they go through with their mission? Could we all be facing a black hole that could get out of control even though we live on another continent? Can they shut it off and stop the whole thing? If something does go wrong, how far from France and Sweden will the black hole travel? You can read more about the Large Hadron Collider by searching for it online. See Video

Stock-Up On Water & Food Supplies
This little boy is used to NOT having food in his mouth to nourish his frail body. Our Creator always gives us forewarnings of things to come, but most people choose to ignore them. I don't know when this picture was taken, but this child's situation was one of the wake-up calls that most people pushed to the back of their minds because they could never view this happening to them. Guess what folks, most of you will be out of work, the banks are going to close and what little bit of money you had in their institutions will no longer be available to
you, and then you will all be without funds, and without funds you will not be able to legally continue providing food and water for yourselves or for your families. Can you survive something like what this child is going through? Can you live on the streets like the homeless people without giving up? Sure you can. How strong do you think this little boy is in comparison to an adult of your stature? He's doing it. He has gotten passed his crying spells and deep hunger pains. As tiny as he is, he was able to adjust. So can you. It starts in the mind. Learn to survive off as little food now so that your body can become used to it in the near future. But always, drink some good water. With mind control and will-power, you can do it.
Learn How To Meditate
Today, meditation is viewed by most Black folks as something that the people from India do. Let's make a reality check here. When we were first created, this was our knowledge. When we disobeyed, this is one of many things that was taken from us. It is now quickly coming back to us and we should learn to reintroduce ourselves to it so that we can have peace within ourselves and contact with our spirituality.
There are many sources of information out there for you to relearn from. However, I have found some links and videos to help get you started. But, before you start, please go here to learn how you should sit to make your journey much easier. You will find that each instructor has their own method of doing things. Find one that best suits you. I found that a quiet dark room works well for me. I can either sit up straight or lay on my back. The video here is one of many. I've read that you will need to know how to meditate by December 2012. Supposedly, we will all need this knowledge to help us survive the changes. Even if we don't need it for that time, please try to experience it anyway. You can make it work to your advantage.
What Are Chakras?
Chakras are known as energy centers located in the spine of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull. Chakras are considered to be a point of metaphysical and/or biophysical energy of the human body.
