    Elon Musk Thinks A.I. is Lethal But Wants to Implant It in Our Brain

    The world’s most rich people Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Neuralink and owner of Tesla Motors who has been averse to artificial technologies now wants us to connect to it with its Neuralink chip.

    Neuralink Corporation is a neurotechnological company co-founded by Elon Musk. The company aims to create a computer chip that can help and treat a brain disease patient and the eventual goal of human enhancement.

    In an interview, Musk said “A.I is more dangerous than nukes” and also visualized that we are very close to the general use of artificial intelligence. What type of Contradiction is this?

    In Musk’s words, “if we can’t beat it, we should join it.”

    The chip is implanted into our skull with hundreds of electrodes to connect us to the A.I and the internet. Everything seems great, no? But some people have had a nightmare about it. They think the chip could control us. Hypothetically, Musk or the govt could control us and do what they want, hack or reprogram. If that’s true it would be very serious security and privacy theft and left unproven. So for now if you want to avoid it, avoid it.

    Congratulations to them. In recent news they claim it to be successfully tested on a pig and it’s been fine. Now, they are hoping to test on humans in 2022. For now, it’s a great aid for those patients who had brain diseases like Parkinson’s and Other Movement Disorders. But in near future, they are planning for human enhancement which means connecting your brain to the internet and Artificial intelligence.

    Why Apple Watch is Called a Life-Saving Gadget?

    Can a watch save your life? Yes, if it is an Apple watch.

    Smartwatches are the second-most commonly used gadget after smartphones. The watch that is saving lives lately is Apple’s smartwatch. Internet is full of stories of people who are alive because of the watch which tends to make a curious angle, what is so special and unique that makes apple watch so liable compared to other smartwatch brands.

    It’s a Health-Gear

    Apple Watch is a high-tech gadget coupled with powerful apps. These apps encourage users to live a healthy lifestyle, the app runs in the background for basic regular checkups whether the user is active or inactive. It notifies early symptoms and alerts the user for a medical checkup. The app summarises the collected valuable data with date and time which helps the doctor to diagnose the disease.

    Apple watch has three sensors; optical heart sensor, an electrical heart sensor/electrode, and Next-generation accelerometer and a gyroscope sensor.

    Optical heart sensor uses Photoplethysmography (PPG) that checks up heartbeat per minute(BPM). An average BPM of an adult is 60 to 100, this sensor monitors bpm and alerts the user in case of high, low, or irregular heart rate.

    A 24-year-old man Adam Love from Australia was alerted by his Apple Watch that his heart rate during sleep was hitting 140 beats per minute (bpm). It was then when Love decided to visit a doctor and it turned out that he had a hole in his heart since birth that went undetected for 24 years. After a full medical examination, doctors found a serious lung condition in which his blood was found circulating in the right atrium instead of the left side. He went through surgery and recovered in 3 weeks.

    Electrical heart sensor/electrode is one of the three sensors that monitor electrocardiogram (ECG) electrical pulses generated from the user’s heart.

    The sensor can classify atrial fibrillation and sinus rhythm but is unable to identify other conditions, like heart attacks. 

    For an instance Ed Dentel, a 46-year-old resident of Richmond, Virginia as soon as he updated his watch with the ECG app the watch started annoying him with Afib notifications and alerts. His heart was beating between 120bpm to 140bpm. Later on, he decided to pay a visit, feeling embarrassed Dentel shared that his watch was giving alerts after updates. A technician hooked Dentel to an ECG machine. Normally, it takes time to observe the reports and say something. He called the doctor and the doctor said, “You’re in AFib and the watch may have just saved your life”.

    Next-generation accelerometer and a gyroscope sensor for fall detection. The apple watch detects a hard fall it starts vibrating with alarm sound and displays alerts. If the user is conscious he/she has two options to contact emergency services or to stop the alerts by tapping on ‘I’m OK’ or pressing the digital crown. If Apple Watch detects that the user is still moving, it waits for the user to respond to alerts and won’t call emergency so until and unless the user is immobile for a minute it calls automatically.

    After the call ends which means it is unanswered as the user is immobile, the watch sends a message to emergency contacts with the exact location.

    Toralv Østvang, a 67-year old living in Norway was saved because of this feature in the apple watch. He fell in the bathroom, local emergency service got the message along with the location. Later on, after 30 mins rescue team arrived to save Toralv. He was unconscious and covered with blood but alive. 

    The bottom line is do you still think it is not worth it to buy a smartwatch.

    Natasha Makhijani: Acing Successful Recruitment

    Oliver Sanderson Group makes the recruitment process easier for businesses, so they can engage and develop a long-lasting working environment. With the help of technology, from creating a resume database to deploying employees to prominent companies, Natasha is excelling in the recruitment field.

    We at Fortunes Crown got into conversation with Natasha Makhijani, the CEO of Oliver Sanderson Group, to know more about the company and how it is helping the businesses as a whole.

    Below are the highlights of the interview:

    Please brief us in detail about the current scenario of the business. How have the customer preferences changed over the years?

    The executive search industry is changing in a number of ways, and this is reflected in the evolving preferences of our clients. There is now a greater focus on EDI challenges. We are seeing a growing recognition of the importance of inclusivity and the value of diversity, and clients come to us to tackle their EDI challenges, reach out to under-represented groups, and achieve more diversity in their boardroom and senior leadership teams. Digitalization is also transforming the industry, changing the way we advertise roles, discover candidates, and engage with our community. Finally, recruitment companies are increasingly aware of issues around sustainability and the environmental impact of our work. We are taking steps to minimize our impact and operate more sustainably and more responsibly as a business.

    Could you please walk us through your educational/professional journey? What was the moment that triggered you to step into the business?

    I, Natasha Makhijani, am not your average headhunter. As CEO of Oliver Sanderson Group, I am pioneering new approaches to executive search through tech innovations and D&I initiatives, all while breaking down barriers as an Asian woman business leader.

    After graduating with a Bachelor’s degree from City, University of London and a Master’s from DePaul University in Chicago, I began my recruitment career on the Graduate Scheme at Hays in 2000. Fast-tracked into management roles, I achieved four promotions in four years and took a team from billing £10,000 to £80,000 a month. From Hays, I moved to Michael Page, and quickly gained recognition as a “super biller”. But I always felt that there was another path for my career, and having set up executive desks at both Hays and Michael Page, I set my sights on establishing a business of my own.

    I founded Oliver Sanderson as a start-up in 2011 and have since grown the firm into an international business at the cutting edge of executive search. Oliver Sanderson has built up a strong track record in recent years, having placed CEOs and senior leaders at FTSE 100, FTSE 350, and Fortune 500 companies. Specializing in both permanent and interim executive placements across a wide range of sectors, the firm provides clients with an end-to-end executive search process, drawing from the experience and creativity of its research team to solve complex recruitment challenges.

    New technology has been central to Oliver Sanderson’s rapid growth, and I am a pioneer of digital innovations in executive search and recruitment. I co-founded Snapp Resume, the world’s first mobile job board with voice technology capability and Amazon Alexa connectivity. The app currently has a database of over 25 million candidates in the UK and the USA, with over 250,000 positions listed on its mobile job board.

    My forward-thinking leadership was recognized with a CEO Today Global Award 2021. I appeared in the winner’s magazine in February 2021 alongside some of the world’s most inspiring executives in a feature story on her journey and achievements. I have recently been shortlisted for the prestigious Recruiter Awards 2021 in the category of Agency Recruitment Leader of the Year.

    Under Makhijani’s leadership, Oliver Sanderson is poised to remain at the forefront of an evolving industry.

    When was Oliver Sanderson Group established? What are the prominent services/solutions offered by the company?

    Established in 2011, Oliver Sanderson is an executive search firm with a difference, combining experience and expertise with innovation and fresh thinking. We specialize in finding permanent and interim talent at the board and senior leadership levels for FTSE 100, FTSE 350, Fortune 500, and PE-backed businesses. With our suite of digital recruitment apps and our award-winning diversity and inclusion work, we are leading the way in discovering the next generation of business leaders.

    What measures do you incorporate to ensure motivation and productivity within the workspace? How do you respond to criticism and disagreements?

    I focus on keeping my team motivated by challenging, supporting, and inspiring them. At Oliver Sanderson, no two weeks are ever the same – we are always working on new roles with new organizations, and making new connections and relationships with candidates. It is this aspect of our work that ensures that we are constantly learning, keeping the working week fresh and challenging. We set monthly and annual targets to hit for our team across a number of areas, from sales to social media engagement. But we also support each other, understanding that growth isn’t always linear, and we sometimes learn more from failure than from success. Dialogue is crucial – daily conversations, feedback and brainstorming sessions. These help us stay connected and supported together, constantly learning, and constantly striving to improve as individuals and as a team.

    What was/is your response to the current unprecedented situation?

    The global pandemic has had a major impact on our daily business operations, but we have managed to survive and thrive since the first lockdown. Our firm has had to adapt to meet new challenges, becoming more flexible in our delivery models. The Oliver Sanderson Executive app has enabled the team to make an effective transition to remote working, with the digital platform offering video interviewing to substitute for the face-to-face meetings made impossible under lockdown. Our apps helped candidates engage with the job market at a time of unprecedented difficulty and uncertainty, and we received exceptionally positive feedback about our contribution to the economic recovery. Thanks to our flexibility, we have managed to grow our revenue and expand our team, and we look forward to a brighter future as corporations and wider society begin to rebuild.

    What are the services/solutions we should anticipate from Oliver Sanderson Group in the near future?

    Our digital recruitment solutions set us apart from the competition and pioneer a new direction for the industry. Snapp is a software platform designed and created by Oliver Sanderson. This suite of digital recruitment apps offers a pioneering mobile job board and integrated video interviewing options.

Our exclusive integration partnership with Amazon Alexa provides Snapp with access to over 100 million devices, including (as of March 2021) every Smart TV. Snapp powers Amazon Alexa’s ‘Find me a Job’ skill, and currently has over 25 million candidates registered in the UK and the USA, with over 250,000 positions listed on its mobile job board.

    Oliver Sanderson harnesses the power of its Snapp suite of digital recruitment apps to discover the next generation of business leaders.

    As a decorated leader, what would be your piece of advice for entrepreneurs seeking careers in the business?

    Always remember, doubts and setbacks are part of everyone’s journey – the road to the top is never simple! So be resilient, and never give up. I have been doubted in the past, but I used those doubts as fuel to fire me onto greater successes. Whoever you are, wherever you come from – with hard work, a bit of luck, and a good team around you, you can do it too!

  • How Russia’s Theft Legality Will Cost Unfriendly Nations?

    How Russia’s Theft Legality Will Cost Unfriendly Nations?

    After President Vladimir Putin bombarded Ukraine, Russia is increasingly isolated from the western world. The United States, EU member countries, and others recently launched sanctions against Russia and issued trade restrictions. Russia currently meets its supply and demand needs in agriculture, energy, and natural resources. However, Russia’s isolation and growing shortage of skilled manufacturers has led to the fusion of technological manufacturing and innovation.

    Major companies have shut down services in the country either partially or entirely including PayPal, TikTok, Netflix, Spotify, McDonald’s, Starbucks, Apple, Zara, Coca-Cola, etc.   

    In response, Russian officials issued an executive order that could authorize intellectual property (IP) theft legally. Russian companies can now officially violate the intellectual property rights of the list of countries including the United States, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, and the 27  European Union (EU) member countries.

    What’s on this Russian Decree?

    Unsurprisingly, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin of Russia has signed a decree introducing significant changes to the compensation structure for companies that use or produce inventions without the inventor’s consent. Patent holders receive 0% of production profits sale and use of their inventions by Russian companies.

    Patent infringements will have a devastating impact on Western companies and inventors, as Russian companies can now replicate inventions and use patented material without consequences. Above all, this means that Russian companies can access publicly available patent databases and monitor patents to boost the production of pinch technology. This could result in a loss of Western trade efforts, as the proposed measures would completely mitigate the current supply chain disruption.

    As highlighted in a TASS report, such measures would “mitigate the impact on the market of supply chain brakes as well as shortages of goods and services that have arisen due to new sanctions of western countries.”

    Stealing patent is one side and piracy is another i.e., if one user or individual uses pirated windows on their PC, in that case, he/she could use the paid software for free (Piracy) but couldn’t claim the software is his/her (stealing patent).

    What will be the impacts?

    The impact of piracy and intellectual property theft on Western businesses and economies may not be felt immediately, because Russia cannot increase its technological production in the short term, but the effects will become evident over time. Russian companies are likely to take advantage of the IP infringement opportunity to piracy and continue to violate the rights of patent holders even as global tensions ease.

    Due to the lack of skilled labor and technological innovators, the transition to technological innovation will not be easy for Russia. Therefore, Russian companies will most likely pay external contractors and skilled personnel from Eastern European and Asian countries to fill this void. There is a great financial incentive for them to move to Russia to properly use their skills and improve their quality of life.

    What’s now?

    As tensions between the West and Russia increase and new decrees come into force every day, it will be interesting to see how Russian companies use this opportunity to legalize IP infringement and piracy, and how American companies react. One thing is certain: Russia’s activities have violated international rights and continue to do, soon or later Russia will become the world leader in intellectual property theft.

    Why many countries have started supporting Russia?

    Some of the countries that support Russia are Belarus, Pakistan, China, Syria, India, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, etc. Some argue “Russia has right to defend itself” and a few keep mute.

    Throughout Cold War, several countries had a robust relationship with Russia, and when the collapse of the USSR happened, friendly countries had taken a massive market of Russian arms. Throughout the 19’s Russia was been a huge exporter of iron, steel, and mineral Fuels & oil. After the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, friendly counties expected to be in fuel and iron crisis, and for inevitable purposes allied and friendly countries decided to stay silent about the conflict.

  • NFTs Aren’t as Cool as They Sound

    NFTs Aren’t as Cool as They Sound

    The world is altered by technology in many aspects. In present times illnesses that were hardly cured can be cured. Instead of fossil fuels, the vehicle operates on batteries, and people on opposite sides of the globe can communicate via video chat. The question arises on the extent of technology in influencing the perception of people across the world.

    The new trend of Blockchain technology, fueled by the cryptocurrency craze that propelled Bitcoin into the tens of thousands of dollars. Non-fungible tokens, or simply NFTs, are digital collectibles that collectors and investors are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on.

    NFTs (Non- Fungible Tokens)

    Digital works of art are the NFTs existing on the blockchain networks and have a variety of forms. Video Clips, memes, music, images, and even tweets are one of the most popular forms of digital art. Yes, you read that correctly: Twitter tweets can be converted into NFTs and sold.

    NFTs are non-fungible, which is an essential feature. Fungibility simply indicates that the commodity has multiple units, all of which are interchangeable and identical and are indistinguishable from one another.

    Cons and Pros

    When you buy an NFT, you’re investing, just like when you buy any other piece of art. Whether the work is digital or tangible a huge secondary market arises of it. To invest your hard earn money in digital art, there will be disadvantages and advantages for the same just like any other investment.

    Cons

    NFT is intriguing without a doubt. Significant disadvantages remain in investing in it. They are as follows:

    Uncertainty of Value: Even for a specialist, NFTs are perplexing assets. On the purchase of the NFTs, artist copyrights cannot be bought. People can still locate copies of the work for which you hold the token on the Internet, and nothing is stopping them from pasting and copying files into social media. It shows off and shares something in which you have invested millions of dollars.

    No digitization of physical art: To own digital and physical art is completely different. Digitization of physical art is not possible. Seeing a one-of-a-kind painting with your own eyes has an attraction that these tokens can’t match.

    Cost on the environment: In context with blockchain technology, the environment became a prominent topic of discussion. A significant amount of energy is consumed by recording anything on the Ethereum blockchain as it requires a considerable amount of computing. Consequently, broad trading in NFTs and other blockchain-based assets is not an environment-friendly measure.

    Pros

    The benefits of the NFTs are as follows:

    Ownership of something unique: These digital treasures are non-fungible, which means they are one-of-a-kind. When you know you own a one-of-a-kind piece, whether it’s a digital image, painting, an audio clip, a piece of furniture, or another digital asset. It gives a great feeling.

    Growth of Value: When you buy these tokens, just like any other investment, there’s always the possibility of your money growing in value.

    Data Record: Maintaining records of authenticity and chain-of-ownership for priceless artwork can be difficult at times. Here’s where NFTs shine. Because NFTs exist on the blockchain, there are clear ownership records for all of them, which means your digital artwork should never be stolen or its legitimacy questioned. Some accept the innovation will ultimately advance into a superior means to oversee and deal with significant information and records, not similarly as a device to oversee computerized treasures.

    Excitement: As of now, blockchain innovation is producing a ton of interest. Some foresee that innovation will samely affect customer conduct as the Internet did. That is an intriguing idea, and by buying an NFT, you’re effectively adding to that innovative progression.

    NFTs are loads of tomfoolery. They give an instrument to you to hold some different options from a coin on the blockchain. In any case, as a venture, they ought to be thought of as profoundly theoretical and incredibly hazardous. There’s genuine worth in the blockchain and what it can achieve for mankind, later on, however it’s not in the capacity to sell customers moderately unsteady “proprietorship” of computerized resources. Assuming that you wish to take an interest in the blockchain and see these tokens as a method for doing as such, feel free to do as such. In any case, do as such with alert.

  • India Develops their own Operating System for Smartphones

    India Develops their own Operating System for Smartphones

    If you’re using a smartphone, it could be Android or iOS. There is a duopoly between Google and Apple in the smartphone Operating system market, not only other companies but governments of many countries have tried to shake it off. To challenge both Google and Apple, the Indian government is now considering the development of their own smartphone operating system, The Indian-OS.

    The Government of India is now planning to come up with a policy that will facilitate the creation of a native mobile operating system.

    There is no third one. Therefore, in a lot of ways there is tremendous interest in MeitY and in the Government of India to even create a new handset operating system. We are talking to people. We are looking at a policy for that. – Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology 

    Why There is the Idea of Indian-OS?

    The operating system is the Primary software tool of any computer or mobile device that weaves in the entire hardware and software market. If there is any real competence then developing that area will create an alternative to iOS and Android that can encourage an Indian brand to grow. India’s objective to develop a home-grown Operating System is to boost the country’s tech industry from 75M $ to 300M $ in near 2026.

    How Govt. of India Forethoughting to Develop The Indian-OS?

    The Government is framing to create an ecosystem for the development of an alternative OS for Smartphones. On that aim, the government was active towards developing a policy that will ease the industry dedicated to the creation of an indigenous operating system to counter Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS and looking for startups and academic institutions who want to join them in the creation of a homegrown operating system.

    The government is considering the development of the Operating System, as part of the government’s efforts to create a vibrant design and innovation ecosystem in Electronics and Information Technology. – Chandrasekhar 

    In the past, there were many attempts to counter Android and IOS. Samsung Tizen OS and Microsoft’s Windows (mobile) lasted for just a couple of years before the market share of both become negligible but they both are dead now. In recent years, Huawei launched Harmony OS after America banned its android fair use to trade for Chinese involvement in the company, now there is a new competitor Indian-OS.

    What are The Pros and Cons of This Decision

    The Operating system market for smartphones is very centralized and much tougher to compete with. Against such Software Giants like Apple and Google, there are many examples that are still operating among small users like Cyanogen Mod (custom Rom) Harmony OS (Huawei only).

    The challenges for developing a new OS cannot be ignored but hope never dies. So, what if India comes close to developing its own unique OS?

    Pros

    • Only For India made, it’s more secure and easier to use.
    • It will help to grow small businesses.
    • Will help the Indian Tech market.

    Cons

    • Will it be believable for millennials?
    • It is just in starting phase now can it be well optimized
    • It will run on low-end hardware since 70% of the Indian smartphone market is just low-end hardware.

    For now, those are just speculation rest is yet to see…

    Sharing Your Netflix Account? – You May Have to Pay up Extra

    Netflix account sharing is a very common thing, family members and friends share the same subscribed account across devices and also across households. Netflix has added features like setting up multiple user profiles to make things easier. However, the streaming platform will start charging users extra money for sharing passwords with households.

    An article published on Netflix’s own website quoted, “while these have been hugely popular, they have also created some confusion about when and how Netflix can be shared. As a result, accounts are shared between families, which affects our ability to invest in new TV shows and movies for our users”.

    Therefore, Netflix is now come up with two new features- Add Extra Member and Transfer Profile to New Account.

    Add Extra Member: Members of Standard and Premium Netflix plans will be able to add sub-accounts for up to two people who aren’t living with them – each with their own profile and personalized recommendations.  These sub-accounts will also provide their own login id and password for better security. And of course, it will be at a lower price.

    Transfer Profile to a New Account: Members of the Basic, Standard, and Premium plans can allow people who aren’t living with them to share their accounts for transfer profile information and a new account or an Extra sub-account. This feature will allow users to continue viewing History, My List, and Recommendations.

    Netflix has been changed much on their business side with price fluctuations and reshuffled new plans to keep up with competitors like Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime Video, and many more. Now, the new changes will likely make you and your friends cost extra money for netflix account sharing.

    The company didn’t say if it plans to expand this test and launch these new features globally. But, last year, the streaming service tested on a small-scale account verification tool that essentially prevented subscribers from Netflix account sharing, soc certainly this isn’t the first time the streaming service has restricted sharing.

  • Why Russia Legalises Piracy and Steal Patents of Unfriendly Nations?

    Why Russia Legalises Piracy and Steal Patents of Unfriendly Nations?

    Russia has enacted a law allowing for the piracy of patented chip designs, software, and other intellectual property from any of Vladimir Putin’s sanctioned countries. According to the Washington Post, Russian enterprises can replicate any intellectual property from corporations on the sanctioned list and profit without fear of legal penalties. Furthermore, these businesses will be unable to seek compensation if their intellectual property is breached or used illegally.

    Sanctions on unfriendly nations

    The sanction list consists of countries such as Australia, Iceland, Monaco, Norway, Japan, Korea, Ukraine, EU member states, the US, Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, and Switzerland. The action removes all safeguards for patent holders who are registered in unfriendly countries, do business with them, or are citizens of those countries. This comes after a number of international companies decided to leave the country following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Such steps would “mitigate the impact on the market of supply chain brakes as well as shortages of goods and services that have occurred due to new sanctions imposed by western countries” according to a TASS report.

    Russia has also suggested the prospect of relaxing limitations on specific trademarks on products whose supply to Russia has been restricted. As a result, Russia might have its own McDonald’s, complete with the same logo and branding.

    Impact of Russia’s Decree

    In an interview with the Washington Post, Josh Gerben, an intellectual property lawyer in Washington, said that such a decree would affect Western investment in Russia far beyond any de-escalation of the conflict in Ukraine and that companies that were already concerned about risks in Russian business would have even more reason to be concerned.

    Patent infringement can be dangerous for western businesses and innovators, as Russian companies can now steal ideas and utilize protected content without fear of legal repercussions. Patent law’s enabling disclosure requirement compels patent holders to describe their inventions in sufficient detail for someone versed in the art to build and use them. This effectively means that Russian businesses can use publicly accessible patent databases to practice patents in order to increase their lagging technological production.

    Although no legislation governing free piracy of copyrighted works or trademark infringement has yet been enacted. It is only a matter of time until it occurs. In fact officials from Russia’s Military of Economic Development urged to relax the trademark regulation. Legalizing copyright piracy and trademark infringement allows Russia to continue operating and profiting from western firms and services that have halted operations in Russia as a result of the invasion of Ukraine. As the proposed remedies would completely offset the current supply chain breaks, this would result in a waste of western company efforts. Exploiting the American brand names is inherently undemocratic and antithetical to American ideals.

    Don’t Fade-up, Shine Bright!

    There is so much going on right now and we have been touched on all levels of our being. Unsurprisingly, we feel physically and emotionally affected. We have the endless stream of “official” media propaganda with its ridiculous planetary narratives spreading 24/7 and its masked zombies. What a vibration all this deflation! We want to know what’s going on, so hit up our favorite truth networks in hopes of knowing that the hundredth monkey is here. Of course, we are almost there…Our doulas do their best to help us by sharing their legal, medical, and spiritual discoveries

    These are juxtaposed with endless scary stories that suggest power structures are tightening their grip. Our sphere of existence keeps shrinking, as do our hitherto acquired basic freedoms, the right to work and earn a living, the joyful celebration of life we ​​share with those around us, travel, holidays, and even the air we breathe. ! they carry us away. But on the other side of this equation, the circles of our soul tribes are widening. We find brothers and sisters who see the truth like us, and we form bonds that strengthen us all in this birth process.

    It’s true, we are in transition

    Look at all the physical worlds you were born into according to your karma and what you need to evolve. Slowly the finger of the Nameless approaches these worlds and will penetrate them in the form of a fantastic cloud of energy. You do not feel it yet, but in two thousand years, all your planets and stars will be transformed by his intervention. This will cause them to vibrate at a higher pitch, causing them to etherize. ~Lord Jesus

    We have heard that the frequencies of the sun, carried by the solar winds, are increasing. All planets in our solar system are affected. Could this be the “etherification” of which Jesus spoke two thousand years ago? And what could be the consequences of “rising the sun in tone”? Considering what happens when we experience physical symptoms, headaches, fatigue, nausea, insomnia, we assume these are the stress effects of this complicated situation. But perhaps the physical and emotional states that many of us experience are related to the increased solar activity; the “finger of the nameless” that spiritualizes our corner of the cosmos. I have read that this incoming energy is affecting everything on the planet and sensitive people are noticing insomnia and a host of other symptoms.

    Wind-driven solar storms throw our circadian rhythms out of sync. They affect our nervous system, hence the heightened anxiety and fear many of us are noticing, ah! As if the daily “news” weren’t enough. Solar activity affects our Earth’s resonance, our planet’s heartbeat, and our heartbeat. Have you noticed that your heart feels strange? Every aspect of our physical and subtle body is affected. Every cell registers this age change. Other “symptoms” of heightened cosmic activity are the rebirth of old, unresolved emotions, and the desire to connect with people from our past, to forgive, or to ask for forgiveness. These old wounds are healing and everything, we are told, contributes to the momentum we collectively receive to shift into a higher frequency.

    Everything is in turmoil, as in a healing crisis. Or during a birth. Many believe the intention is to move from our current slower vibrational density into a higher vibrational state. This is the journey of the evolution of our consciousness. We know that higher emotions like gratitude, compassion, and love vibrate at a higher frequency than lower emotions like fear, jealousy, and guilt. We have been living in a very low vibrational place on this planet for eons due to the “slave self” or ego spirit that has been forced upon our species by the dark ones.

    Love is like a ray of hope 

    Love is the binding force of the universe. Thus, we inhale and exhale love through free nostrils and we know that we are one. We refuse to obey this tyranny. Conformity NEVER brought freedom. If we want to preserve our most basic freedoms, we MUST deny ourselves. Separate and we now know the importance of connecting and forming a cohesive resistance against the evil that is tearing our world apart. The separation that black brothers have planned and implemented daily is not only to separate us from those around us but also to separate us from Source, God, the greater system of consciousness, Tao, the Nameless.

    The power of love is the power that prevents everything from becoming the nothingness of space. How important it is then to form coherent groups with our fellow human beings, our tribal and resistant soul. In the end, truth and love will prevail. Now is the time for all of us to have that thought and intention in the first place.
